Qingshan Cliff
The dam finally couldn't withstand the weight, and the top meter of the dam collapsed, causing water to gush down.
The loud rushing water startled Mu Qing, who was in the process of upgrading the dam, and he discovered that the upper layer of the dam had collapsed and water was gushing out, while the lower layer was also on the verge of collapse.
Mu Qing leaped into the air and stood there. The young man in the air was surrounded by green light spots, his clothes fluttering. His black hair was like a waterfall, moving without wind. His skin was as white as snow, his eyebrows and eyes were delicate, and a golden lotus mark between his eyebrows shone brightly.
A slender, fair hand waved towards the dam, releasing a surge of rich wood energy. In an instant, branches and vines protected the dam, the vines themselves being half a meter thick, creating a one-meter-thick wooden fence behind it.
The rain gradually subsided, and a rosy glow slowly appeared on the horizon.
Because Mu Qing was standing in mid-air, dozens of meters away from the cliff, with his figure obscured by the cliff, and because everyone nearby had been moved to the city gate, this strange scene could only be seen by Murong Yu and his group on the cliff.
Upon witnessing this scene, Gu Zuo and his group were all deeply shocked. They stood there dumbfounded, speechless for a long time.
Gu Zuo stood beside Murong Yu, stammering and unable to form coherent sentences, before finally managing to say, "Your...Your Highness, the...Holy Son..."
Murong Yu stared intently at the person standing in mid-air below, and responded with a "Mm," his voice carrying a hint of pleasure and pride.
The next moment
The gushing water stopped abruptly in mid-air, then was diverted into the forest. As it flowed downwards, it was absorbed by the vegetation, and the flow diminished as it went deeper until it disappeared from the group's sight.
Gu Zuo couldn't help but look down the cliff and saw that the houses downstream were completely intact. Overwhelmed with excitement, he exclaimed, "Great! Great! Thank God for His blessing! No, thank you so much, Holy Son, thank you so much, Holy Son..."
Mu Qing waved his hand again, and a line of golden characters slowly appeared in the sky, shimmering with light and extremely eye-catching.
It seems so close, yet so far away.
The first line reads "Emperor's Decree," followed by a phantom image of a golden dragon seal.
The second line reads: "Now that there is a flood, all subjects of the land should unite as one to overcome this difficulty. It is hereby ordered that all able-bodied men and officials in the villages along the upper reaches of the Yangtze River dig ditches along the river to divert the water. This is hereby decreed!"
As the last word appeared, the torrential rain that had been pouring down for days miraculously stopped. The sky was ablaze with crimson clouds.
The phantom image of the Golden Dragon Seal hung high in the sky. Seeing the decree, it was as if the emperor himself had arrived. Murong Yu and his entourage, along with the officials from the nearby cities and counties who saw the inscription, all knelt down and bowed, saying, "Your subject obeys the decree. Long live the Emperor!"
This event propelled Murong Zhi's prestige to unprecedented heights throughout the dynasty. During his reign, the people were united, officials and commoners worked together, and the nation was of one mind. He achieved his vision of "peaceful lives for the people and stability for the nation" during the "An Ding" era. Furthermore, he diligently governed, promoting benevolent rule, emphasizing people's livelihood and education, and vigorously implementing various policies beneficial to the people and the nation, leading the dynasty to an unprecedented period of prosperity and flourishing during the "An Ding" era. But that's another story.

As the torrential rain stopped, the people came out, cheering, embracing, and weeping with joy. Among the crowd, some saw the crimson clouds and golden characters hanging in the sky; they knelt and kowtowed, shouting, "Heaven protects us! Heaven protects us!" Those who could read read aloud the characters and explained them to the crowd, who then prostrated themselves again, shouting, "Long live the Emperor! Long live the Emperor!"
