There weren't too many clouds in the sky, but the moisture in the air had been increasing. The heavy rain fell from the sky, and the water level of all rivers around Pu Ban City had been rising.
White waves surged and turbid waves surged. At a glance, one could see streams of water flowing down from the peaks of various sizes, converging into rivers of various sizes, and finally converging into a vast expanse of water.
Fist-sized raindrops fell from the sky one after another. Many branches were broken, and crops in the fields were smashed. The heavy rain that lasted for only two days meant that this year, not a single grain of rice could be harvested in the Midland.
More terrifyingly, the plants on some mountains were destroyed by the heavy rain. Without the protection of the plants, the soil was washed away as well. Mudslides had already appeared in some areas of Pu Ban City, and many small villages had been affected. All clans had been urgently mobilizing their elite warriors to rescue those villages.
In the wilderness, the long grass that was originally as tall as a person's neck was beaten to the ground. The long grass lay there weakly, as if countless corpses of the dead were piled together. The world was filled with a deathly aura.
No birds could be seen flying in the air, and groups of wild beasts were huddled in the damp grass, without being able to move. The overflowing river flushed the river, roaring and roaring restlessly, as if they were ready to rush out of the river and wreak havoc at any time.
From time to time, wild beasts and domestic animals could be seen swimming in the river. They were trying to find a land to rest on, but the river was way too rapid, and before they could swim far, they would be dragged into the bottom of the river by the whirlpool.
A loud cawing noise rose into the sky. Mr. Crow angrily flew back and forth in the sky, his golden feathers bringing up dim streams of fiery light.
As a descendant of the three-legged Gold Crow, what Mr. Crow hated the most was the rainy season in the Southern Wasteland. The heavy rain had been falling ceaselessly, and the feeling of being soaked and moldy was extremely uncomfortable.
But now, the rain in the Midland was even more ridiculous than the rainy season in the Southern Wasteland. Mr. Crow angrily rushed into the sky, spurting out the Gold Crow flame from his body as much as he could, trying to burn the sky and stop this bloody rain.
At first, when Mr. Crow was full of power, all water vapor within the area hundreds of miles around him was evaporated, and the heavy rain stopped abruptly. However, once Mr Crow flew past, the surrounding water would quickly replenish the water, and the heavy rain would continue.
As Mr Crow had been consuming more and more energy, he could barely keep himself dry at the moment. He left a clear trail of water vapor in the air, which was quickly blown away by the strong wind, exposing Mr Crow's extremely haggard body.
After struggling for quite a while, Mr Crow was finally soaked by the heavy rain. He fell from the air powerlessly, lying on Ji Hao's shoulder while gasping quickly and quickly for air, staring at the sky with his pair of beady eyes, which were shining with a fierce light.
"This rain is not right, Mr Crow!" Ji Hao gently patted Mr Crow's feathers with his palm. The rainwater on Mr Crow's body quickly evaporated. Streams of warm air flowed into Mr Crow's body through his palm, and the consumed Gold Crow flame of Mr Crow was quickly recovering.
Mr Crow cawed angrily for a few times, then seriously nodded.
This heavy rain was not right. Mr Crow had lived for so many years, but he had never seen such a heavy rain when there were no clouds in the sky.
The water vapor in the air was way too strong, and with every passing quarter of an hour, the water vapor in the air had been growing.
The other natural powers, such as gold, wood, fire and earth, didn't weaken at all. Among the five basic natural powers in Pan Gu world, only the water power was growing crazily. Within two days, the water power in the air had already doubled.
Added with the collapse of Sky Pillar, the natural powers in Pan Gu world were no longer suppressed and balanced by Sky Pillar. Therefore, the natural powers in Pan Gu world, which were already agitated, began acting up spontaneously. The water power, which had an absolute advantage, immediately turned into a heavy rain.
Ji Hao raised his head and looked at the heaven.
Spirit Wa and the other powerful beings didn't do anything to Gong Gong, who had occupied the heaven. Perhaps, they were worried about the agreement they made back then, or perhaps, they didn't want to step into the internal affairs of the humankind.
Anyway, Ji Hao couldn't understand what these powerful beings were thinking. Gong Gong occupied the heaven, and he destroyed Buzhou Mountain on purpose. For such a crime, his entire family should be executed. However, these powerful beings didn't seem to take this seriously, did they?
"Oi, you're the guardians of Pan Gu world!"
Ji Hao complained a bit unhappily.
Spirit Wa didn't pay any attention to Gong Gong. Donggong and Ximu were nowhere to be found. Priest Dachi and Priest Qingwei chatted with Emperor Shun for a while, then left with the embryos of sky-turning seal, leaving the humankind to deal with this mess themselves.
Zhu Rong didn't forget about Gong Gong. He sent a large number of warriors to block the gate of the heaven.
Nevertheless, Zhu Rong only dared to block the gate of the heaven. With the warriors he gathered at the moment, he dared not to attack the heaven, no matter how bold he was.
He did ask Ji Hao for help, but Ji Hao's warriors in Yao Mountain City were busy transporting people to areas around Yao Mountain City to hide. How could he have spare warriors to lend to him?
"Gong Gong, damn you!" Ji Hao narrowed his eyes and carefully pondered on some questions that he hadn't figured out yet.
Sky Pillar was destroyed, then a heavy rain poured down. Did Gong Gong intentionally cause a flood? But, what good would that do him? Of course, Northern Wasteland people wouldn't be harmed by the flood, but Midland and the other three wastelands would be in trouble.
To weaken the entire humankind?
Or did he have other purposes?
Treading on the knee-deep water, Ji Hao walked to Emperor Shun's Town Hall with big steps.
The rain poured down, bumping against the roof of the Town Hall. Along with the rumbling noise of the rain, countless raindrops bumped against the roof and shattered. A dense layer of watery mist wrapped the entire hall up. The rain was way too heavy. Master Magi from the Magi Palace raised the foundation of the Town Hall with a magic. The Town Hall was over a hundred meters higher than the other places. White water flowed down the square outside the Town Hall, flowing in all directions like a waterfall.
Walking into the Town Hall through the temporary stairs, Ji Hao shook off the water from his body and walked in with big steps.
Emperor Shun and thousands of clan leaders and elders gathered in the Town Hall, all with extremely serious faces.
In the short span of two days, the news that came from all directions was not very optimistic.
The houses of the clansmen were washed away by the heavy rain, the villages were destroyed by the heavy rain, and the farmlands were destroyed by the heavy rain. Most importantly, the crops that were about to be harvested were all destroyed. The livestock and poultry in the barn were all dead or wounded by the heavy rain, and many of them were infected with disease.
The strong warriors were still fine. They were all thick-skinned and could withstand the torment.
But those elderly people and children were in trouble. Their spirit blood was weak, and they had been under the heavy rain for two days. Many of them couldn't take it anymore.
"This rain will be a disaster." When Ji Hao walked in, Marquis Chong Si Xi had been talking to Ji Hao, "We have to figure out a way. Where on earth does this rain come from? When will it stop? And, if the water level keeps rising, a great flood will be unavoidable."
Ji Hao's heart twitched. Flood, who wouldn't?
