Chapter 490 The Diet of a God

As the spirituality in his dream changed, Wei Yuan's dream was filled with all kinds of food. It was like a luxuriously extravagant banquet, with all kinds of meat and delicacies. But after waiting for a long time, Zhu Jiuyin still didn't appear. The dream was empty.

Wei Yuan pondered.

He began to reflect on whether he wasn't respectful enough towards this great god.

If the matter of the East Sea involved Gonggong, then Zhu Jiuyin, whose status was also that of an ancient god, even stronger than Gonggong, should know more clearly. But now that Zhu Jiuyin refused to appear, Wei Yuan immediately thought of Wu Zhiqi.

In the legends of Gonggong, the first major event was his headbutting Buzhou Mountain.

The second was the great flood that swept through China, and the Huai River Water Ape Wu Zhiqi was his ally.

Xiang Liu and Fangfeng were his subordinates.

If it really was Gonggong, Wu Zhiqi might know a lot.

He was much more familiar with Wu Zhiqi. Wei Yuan collected all the delicacies in his dream, woke up directly, took out his phone, and sent a message, explaining the general situation, and then asked, "Water Ape, could this change in the East Sea be caused by the awakening of the Water God?"

No reply.

This monkey is quite aloof.

Wei Yuan silently typed a line: "Game +1."

The phone screen lit up.

"Add two."

Wei Yuan said, "Deal."

At the bottom of the Huai River, Wu Zhiqi, whose plan had succeeded, leaned back slightly, holding a soda in his hand, glanced at Wei Yuan's description, and decisively replied, "Gonggong? This situation is impossible for him!"

Wei Yuan said, "...Are you so sure?"

Wu Zhiqi's eyes were strange, and he said, "Of course, you can figure it out with a little thought."

"Who is it then?"

"That's Gonggong."

"King Yu used the materials for casting the Nine Tripod Cauldrons to bury him under the sea as canned fish for thousands of years."

"When I woke up, I wanted to fight King Yu."

"That guy has a much more violent temper than me."

"If he really wakes up, do you believe he'd flood the East Sea the next day? Pouring the water of the four seas could directly flood from Penglai Island to Kunlun Mountain. The other sea gods in this world probably don't have the strength to directly knock down the pillar of heaven. In a clash of authorities, they probably wouldn't be a match for that hot-tempered guy."

Wu Zhiqi added:

"Oh, right, that sea god who has children of all races is especially useless."

He recently beat the game *God of War* and learned a little about other pantheons.

"When I knew Gonggong, that guy was fighting against Zhuanxu, aiming to become the Lord of Heaven and Earth, creating another world order. He probably wouldn't even look at that Poseidon guy, and Gonggong especially hates gods leaving descendants arbitrarily."

"In short, it can't be Gonggong. If it were him, I'm afraid I would have escaped."

Wei Yuan's expression was solemn.

The water of the East Sea flooding China.

To be honest, putting such an absurd thing on any water god in any mythology around the world would seem too exaggerated and absurd to believe. It would just be dismissed as unfounded worries. It's too ridiculous.

But on Gonggong...

You know what, it's actually possible.

The possibility is quite high.

Gonggong, the water god who knocked down Buzhou Mountain, created the Nine Netherworlds, and once flooded China.

After waking up, he stirs up the waves of the East Sea and floods the Nine Provinces.

Is this reasonable?

This is too damn reasonable.

It's exactly what that guy would do.

No wonder King Yu directly nailed him down and buried him. He couldn't be killed, and might not even be killable. He couldn't be released back, so he could only be buried alive.

Wei Yuan felt a headache just putting himself in King Yu's position. If he followed Wu Zhiqi's line of thinking, deducing the cause from the result, it didn't seem like the style of the water god Gonggong. After pondering for a moment, Wei Yuan asked in a slow voice, "Could it be that after Gonggong woke up, he found that his strength hadn't fully recovered, so he's lying in wait in secret?"

Wu Zhiqi said, "Impossible."

"Yu sealed him under the East Sea to maintain the activity of China's water system."

"The seal is deeply reinforced, but once the seal is broken and Gonggong truly comes into contact with the ocean waters, then his strength will rapidly recover to a certain extent, and no one in this era can stop Gonggong, who has recovered about 60% of his strength."

"Gonggong's possible awakening is no small matter. You can go to the East Sea to investigate."

After Wu Zhiqi finished drinking the soda, he suddenly said:

"By the way, you have to do me a favor, and this time the game is free."

Wei Yuan refocused his attention and said, "What favor?"

Fifty thousand yuan flew away into the air.

And with one more mouth to feed, Curator Wei felt that his balance was seriously insufficient and wanted to save where he could.

Wu Zhiqi said with a serious expression, "Find a little bald donkey named Yuanjue."

Wei Yuan's expression froze and he said, "What do you want him for?"

Wu Zhiqi said, "I just learned that that little bald donkey is a descendant of Tang Xuanzang from the Tang Dynasty."

Wei Yuan thought of the grievances and entanglements in *Journey to the West*, as well as the imagination of enthusiastic netizens, and his mouth twitched. "What are you planning to do, Water Ape?"

Wu Zhiqi sneered and said, "What else can I do?"

He paused slightly and said decisively:

"Of course, I'm going to put a golden band on his head too!"

Wei Yuan: "…………"

He recalled the pottery jar that Wu Zhiqi had given him in his dream.

Well, although the Huai River Water Ape has an egoistic personality, he doesn't like to argue with mortals.

Wei Yuan was silent for a moment, and typed four words.

"Next time, for sure."

……………………

Putting his phone away, Wei Yuan prepared to go out and meet up with the others.

But as soon as he took a step, he suddenly felt a sense of drowsiness rising in his heart.

Then he fell backward onto the bed and fell asleep again.

He returned to his dream.

Then, in his dream, new dishes appeared uncontrollably, and compared to what he had just prepared, this time the flavors were lighter, and he even replicated a pot of tea that he had bummed from the Old Celestial Master on Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Wei Yuan looked up and saw Zhu Jiuyin wearing a dark-patterned casual outfit, with an ancient aura and an indistinct face.

He saw Zhu Jiuyin reach out and pick up a chopstick of food.

An absurd idea floated in his heart.

Could it be that he didn't respond just now...

Because Zhu Jiuyin didn't like those dishes?

Wei Yuan's mouth twitched, feeling that the image of the Lord of the Nine Netherworlds in his heart had cracked again.

Had he found his favorite flavor after trying the dishes in his dream before?

He's quite picky.

*Ding*, the sacrifice you used does not meet the requirements, the summoning failed.

Wei Yuan joked to himself, dispelling the pressure of possibly facing Gonggong. He trusted Wu Zhiqi's judgment, but the more evidence for such important matters, the better. After pondering for a moment, Wei Yuan described what happened in the East Sea and asked:

"I want to ask, is the situation in the East Sea a sign of the water god Gonggong breaking free?"

Zhu Jiuyin shook his head and said:

"Gonggong?"

"If it's him, I can't say, and I can't calculate it."

He glanced at Wei Yuan and said, "Like wild beasts, all have territories."

"If a Canglong is sleeping, it will not be awakened by the sound of a bird flapping its wings."

"But if other powerful alien beasts appear, then no matter what state it is in, it will be awakened instantly; the principle is similar. If you go to the East Sea, you may not attract Gonggong's attention, but once I go to explore Gonggong's situation, then with his status, he will be awakened instantly. At that time, there will be a real danger of breaking the seal."

There is a danger of breaking the seal?

Wei Yuan quickly understood, and his heart relaxed slightly, and said, "Zhu Jiuyin, do you also think it's not Gonggong breaking free?"

Zhu Jiuyin shook his head and said, "It's not him, at least it's not him breaking free."

"Otherwise, the water veins of the *Shan Hai Jing* would also sense it."

"But you can go to the East Sea to take a look. The East Sea is the place where Gonggong is sealed, so you still need to pay attention."

"As for safety, you will encounter some dangers this time, but they will not be fatal."

Wei Yuan felt that Zhu Jiuyin's eyes seemed to be able to penetrate his soul, sweeping across him. Hearing Zhu Jiuyin's words, he understood something in his heart, and said, "Is this the Taichu Eight Trigrams deduction that you learned from Fuxi?"

Zhu Jiuyin nodded.

Then he added, "You can't learn it."

"You and Yu are the same, you can't learn it."

Wei Yuan's mouth twitched.

Zhu Jiuyin added, "Nüjiao can't learn it either."

Wei Yuan: "…………"

For some reason, he suddenly felt happy.

He looked at Zhu Jiuyin, decided to try to get more advice from this big shot, and said sincerely:

"Then this time, Zhu Jiuyin, do you have any suggestions?"

"Suggestions?"

Zhu Jiuyin pondered for a moment and opened his mouth.

His voice was ancient and distant, with the composure and majesty of a celestial god, and he said slowly:

"If we're talking about suggestions."

"Then..."

"Next time, have more of these dishes."

Wei Yuan followed his finger and saw a delicate dessert.

He fell silent.

I'm not asking you for this kind of suggestion.

And Zhu Jiuyin, do you like sweet things?

Zhu Jiuyin withdrew his finger without changing his expression, and said in a flat voice:

"Also, this time, you can bring that little guy from the Feather Tribe, there should be unexpected gains."

The little guy from the Feather Tribe?

Feng Siyu?

Wei Yuan was stunned, and quickly understood the true meaning of Zhu Jiuyin's words. His expression sank slightly—

She is the priest of the Fire God Zhurong.

Thanks to book friend 20210504210153558 for the ten thousand reward, thank you.

In the previous chapter, I saw a book friend say that those simulated angels were eaten by the Slippery Snake, no... it just sent out a signal to lure them, but it died before it even started.
