Chapter 262 The Lower Realm of Weak Water
"Oh no! The Milky Way has breached its banks!"
Upon receiving the news, the immortals immediately panicked, with shouts and screams rising and falling.
The Jade Emperor appeared extremely furious: "What happened? Where is Ruoshui? Bring Ruoshui back at once!"
Everyone knows the power of the Heavenly River's Weak Water, not to mention its impact on immortals. If it gets out of control and flows into the mortal realm, a single drop of Weak Water will multiply into countless drops, and the surging Heavenly River will bring utter destruction to the people of the mortal world.
Tianpeng had just returned with the imperial decree, and the smile on his face hadn't even faded when he suddenly heard the news of the Milky Way's breach. His magical artifact clattered to the ground.
His eyes widened in fear and worry. Without thinking, he took off running towards the place where the Weak Water often appeared.
As for the Queen Mother, when she learned that the Milky Way had breached its banks, a look of shock flashed across her face, replaced by deep regret. She couldn't understand how the Milky Way could have breached its banks. Wasn't the sluice gate properly closed?
She only intended to use the incident of Ruoshui leaving the Milky Way without permission and indulging in lust as a pretext to break her agreement with Yang Jiao, suppress the Yang family, consolidate the authority of the Heavenly Court, and incidentally warn the immortals.
She admitted that she had ulterior motives and even greed, wanting to leave that purple aura for the Heavenly Court, but she never thought of sacrificing the peace of the Three Realms.
Without bothering to find out the reason, the Queen Mother looked at Ruoshui and sternly rebuked her, "Ruoshui! You are in charge of the Milky Way, and you must not allow it to flow recklessly. Quickly atone for your sins!"
However, at this point, Ruoshui had been completely brainwashed by anger, grievances, and other emotions.
She seemed not to have heard the Queen Mother's words, her eyes were empty and resolute, and she exuded an aura of recklessness.
The next second, she transformed into a streak of light and sped towards the Milky Way. She wanted to use the surging power of the Milky Way to escape the Heavenly Court that bound her and constantly criticized her.
When Tianpeng arrived, he only saw Ruoshui's retreating figure as she plunged into the Milky Way: "Ruoshui! Ruoshui! Come out quickly!"
The Queen Mother looked uneasy and walked hurriedly, her skirt fluttering with her quick steps, heading straight to the Jade Emperor's side.
"Your Majesty, why did the Milky Way suddenly burst its banks? Who is so audacious as to abandon their post?"
Upon hearing this, the Jade Emperor slightly raised his head, his expression cold and stern. He let out a cold snort, the sound seemingly squeezed out from between his teeth: "If we don't make a big fuss, how can we suppress the Yang family's momentum?"
The Queen Mother was taken aback at first, then seemed to understand something, a look of shock flashing in her eyes. She looked at the Jade Emperor in disbelief, her lips trembling slightly.
"Your Majesty, if the Heavenly Gate is not closed, the Weak Water of the Heavenly River will not be controlled and will rush into the mortal realm, bringing unimaginable disasters to the mortal realm!"
"The lower realm?" The Jade Emperor asked coldly. "Do you think Heaven is more important, or the lower realm?"
The Queen Mother was silent for a while. "The mortal realm cannot compare to the heavens, but the Heavenly Court governs the three realms. The mortal realm... the mortal realm is also very important. Your Majesty, please think it over."
"Is the mortal realm important, but the dignity of the Heavenly Court not? Are we just going to let the Yang family live by trampling on the Heavenly Laws and on my dignity?"
The Jade Emperor was angry and looked at the Queen Mother in confusion: "Are you going to stop me too?"
The Queen Mother lowered her eyes: "Upholding the Heavenly Laws is something I have no objection to, but that is the Weak Water. If it is handled carelessly, I'm afraid the Heavenly Realm will also suffer a great calamity. We should only do so as a last resort..."
The Queen Mother became more and more excited as she spoke, but was quickly interrupted by the Jade Emperor.
"A last resort? Yao Ji violated the Heavenly Laws and was still pardoned. The Heavenly Court's face has been trampled on. Isn't this a last resort?"
"His Majesty!"
"Enough," the Jade Emperor coldly stopped her. "The reason Heaven is Heaven, and why it is respected by the Three Realms, is precisely because of Heaven's supreme dignity. Releasing the Weak Water may cause disaster to the lower realms, but it is also to uphold Heaven's dignity; it is a necessary sacrifice! No need for further explanation!"
Looking at the Jade Emperor's indifferent face, the Queen Mother was stunned and speechless, a chill running through her heart.
...
"Weak Water! You can't go down there!"
Tianpeng took out his nine-toothed rake to stop the Milky Way from flowing down to the mortal realm.
The continuous flow of water transformed into the body of Ruoshui, who looked at Tianpeng unhappily: "Tianpeng, why are you stopping me?"
"If you descend to the mortal realm, you will bring unprecedented disaster to the world."
"I have spent tens of thousands of years in this lifeless Heavenly Court. There is no life or breath in the Milky Way. Do you know what this kind of pain is like?"
"I'm here with you."
"Accompany me?" Ruoshui sneered. "Ever since the Queen Mother of the West took control of the Desire Realm, you haven't even dared to see me. Tianpeng, you could let the Three-Headed Flood Dragon go, why can't you let me go?"
"The heavenly rules are harsh; why don't you come down to the mortal realm with me?"
Ruoshui's words were seductive, and Tianpeng turned his head, remaining silent. After a brief stalemate, Ruoshui exerted its strength, quickly pushing Tianpeng aside and continuing its downward surge.
"Where do you think you're going!"
The Great Golden Crow appeared in front of the Weak Water, its golden wheel spinning rapidly, blocking the Weak Water's path.
"Ruoshui, go back immediately!"
"Get away!"
Ruoshui roared angrily, showing no more courtesy to the Great Golden Crow than she had to Tianpeng.
Water and fire are incompatible, and the two clashed fiercely. No matter how powerful the Golden Crow was, it was no match for the Weak Water, who had lived for tens of thousands of years. Even when Tianpeng came to help, he couldn't stop the Weak Water, who was determined to descend to the mortal realm.
"Brother, we're here to help you!"
At this moment, nine little golden crows flew over from afar and joined the ranks of those resisting the Weak Water.
"snort"
Ruoshui snorted coldly, "You are all so loyal to the Heavenly Court!"
Having said that, the surging water instantly swallowed up the nine little golden crows!
"younger brother!"
The Great Golden Crow cried out in alarm. Before he could react, Ruoshui continued, "If the Heavenly Gate doesn't open, how can I descend to the mortal realm? Your Highness, instead of worrying about this greedy Heavenly Court, you should pay more attention to your younger brother!"
Ruoshui's words struck the Golden Crow like a thunderbolt. He was stunned for a moment and was then submerged by Ruoshui. Tianpeng was also pushed away by Ruoshui in shock.
With no one to stop it, the Weak Water surged and flowed straight down to the mortal realm.
"Your Majesty, the ten Golden Crow Princes have been swallowed by the Weak Water. Even Marshal Tianpeng could not stop them. The Weak Water has already rushed out of the Southern Heavenly Gate and is heading down to the mortal realm."
"this……"
Even the Jade Emperor was somewhat surprised. He hadn't expected it to happen so quickly, and he certainly hadn't expected his generals to be so weak, failing to stop it at all.
The Queen Mother quickly advised, "Your Majesty, you may close the Heavenly Gate."
Although he had made some harsh words before, the Jade Emperor clearly did not expect things to get out of control so quickly, and nodded in agreement: "Issue the decree, close the Heavenly Gate, close the Heavenly Gate immediately!"
Unfortunately, too much time had passed, and the heavenly soldiers brought bad news.
"Your Majesty, the Heavenly Gate and the dikes have been breached by the Weak Water, and the entire Heavenly Realm is flooded."
"ah……"
The Jade Emperor frowned, surprised that even the methods of control had failed. The Queen Mother hurriedly advised, "Your Majesty, please send someone to manage the Weak Water."
Just as the Jade Emperor was about to issue the decree, he suddenly stopped. Things had come to this point; if they didn't make a big fuss, wouldn't all their efforts be in vain?
"No, we must save the Golden Crow first!"
"Your Majesty!" The Golden Crow is a symbol of the sun, how could it have drowned in the Weak Water? Where does it need saving?
"No need for further explanation, the Ten Golden Crows are the backbone of the Heavenly Court, and their loss is unacceptable." Of course, to avoid controversy, the Jade Emperor had other arrangements. "As for the Weak Water, let Tianpeng take charge for now. I remember he has a past with the Weak Water..."
The Queen Mother was helpless. She could see that the Jade Emperor was determined to make a big scene. She now regretted telling the Jade Emperor about Ruoshui and could only hope that Tianpeng could really persuade Ruoshui to come back.
