Chapter 170 The Strategy

　　This day.

　　The water god Gonggong, with unparalleled magical power, condensed the elements from the Milky Way, directly transforming the edge of the human world into a turbulent river. Anyone who looked up could see that terrifying scene. Immeasurable water flowed, and enormous sea beasts roared. At this moment, the human world completely lost its night.

　　But soon, when night fell, the flow of water refracted and changed.

　　Incredibly, it gathered all the sunlight and starlight, turning it into a flying rainbow, wandering and changing in the ocean of the sky, magnificent and unpredictable. Apart from that, it was still night, but it displayed a grandeur that was difficult to describe in words.

　　Those flying rainbows gathered on the ocean of the sky, transforming into coral reefs, transforming into pure rainbow light.

　　In Gonggong's words:

　　"Threats will also lead to a decrease in your state. The human race is one of the creatures of heaven and earth. Isolated yang without yin, only day and no night, will lead to the collapse of your physical and mental strength. Before the war, heaven and earth still have the changes of day and night."

　　"I will not take advantage of you."

　　Longhu Mountain.

　　Wei Yuan raised his head and said, "That's roughly it. Can we win?"

　　Zhang Ruosu shook his head and replied with refined politeness, "Win my ass."

　　"After absorbing the authority of those water gods and sea gods, Gonggong has gradually recovered his strength."

　　"He's even starting to impact that ancient seal."

　　"One hand is enough to crush those gods. You and I combined have at most the strength of his two hands now, but Gonggong will definitely be out of the seal when the war starts."

　　The old Taoist looked pained.

　　As if he had already seen the ancient water god's cold gaze—

　　When I get out, I'll kill you all.

　　This is not just a meme. This guy is really planning to do this.

　　"Calm down, calm down. Stay calm in the face of major events. Don't be like this, don't be like this."

　　Zhang Ruosu closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and looked at Wei Yuan, saying:

　　"How did you deal with him before?"

　　"As long as it's been done before, we can rely on imitation to do it again!"

　　The old Taoist was full of heroic spirit: "In my life, I have experienced so many storms!"

　　"Everything is possible!"

　　"Just like in a game, as long as there is a strategy, even the most difficult boss can be easily defeated. Wei Yuan, don't lie there like a salted fish. Cheer up!"

　　The white-haired curator Wei lay down, stretched out his finger, and said, "Ah, about this..."

　　"The strategy is actually very clear."

　　"It's written clearly in the ancient books. You can find it out with a search."

　　Wei Yuan stretched out his fingers one by one and said:

　　"First of all, relying on decades of time and the tacit consent of the gods, use the Nuwa divine object *xi rang* (self-renewing soil) and Fuxi's mountain-opening and river-breaking object to temporarily abolish the water domain authority of the water god Gonggong, suppressing his strength."

　　"Then, there needs to be a human emperor in his prime, holding both the Yeying Sword and the Xuanyuan Sword. Then, it is necessary to gather the tide of ten thousand nations and recast the Nine Cauldrons, gathering all the heroes of various races on the land and the gods in the sky, gathering them into an army."

　　"Finally, there needs to be the Shennong Whip as a backup to prevent these helpers from being killed in one move. Finally, with Gengchen, the number one martial god of Kunlun and ancient dragon god, guarding the formation, the water god Gonggong can be defeated and sealed."

　　"The strategy is very clear. Please."

　　The heroic Zhang Tianshi: "…………"

　　Damn it.

　　A moment later, when Little A Xuan brought the tea, she saw two white-haired Taoists sprawled on the sofa like two salted fish that had been dried, silent, and even turned over to be evenly marinated.

　　Zhang Ruosu murmured, "If we played like this in a game, we could just surrender."

　　Wei Yuan looked at the sky, "I didn't expect this guy to be so fierce."

　　"What to do then?"

　　"We can't just give up."

　　The old Tianshi stared at him and used reverse psychology:

　　"Anyway, you have a grudge against him. I, the old Taoist, don't have a grudge. Think carefully."

　　Wei Yuan glanced strangely at the old Tianshi, who stubbornly said that he was not Gengchen, and said leisurely, "It's not necessarily that there is no grudge."

　　"Huh? What did you say?"

　　"It's nothing. I'm saying, it's not that there is no way."

　　Wei Yuan glanced at the old Taoist next to him, thought for a while, and sat up from the chair with a carp jump, sitting cross-legged. The chair was simply supported by one leg, shaking, and said, "In fact, it is not impossible to repeat the ancient model... After all, the conditions have been partially met."

　　For example, Gengchen, Gengchen, and Gengchen.

　　Wei Yuan slandered in his heart.

　　The old Taoist was puzzled.

　　Wei Yuan's voice paused, and then said, "Or rather, many conditions have been met, but King Yu and the others risked their lives to win by a hair's breadth. This time, we also need to gamble."

　　"In terms of the Shennong Whip, the Tu Shan themselves have the responsibility of looking after the Gonggong seal, so they won't ignore it. In terms of combat power, Jue can also lead the Mountain and Water Gods to participate in the war. In terms of human heroes, the reincarnation of Overlord is still there... The battle should be dragged to the outer sea as much as possible to minimize the impact on the Divine Land."

　　"But this can only hold back Gonggong at most."

　　"Without the Shennong Whip, which can instantly heal injuries, we can't even hold back Gonggong at the peak of his power... This window of opportunity is very short."

　　"The real breakthrough lies in two points."

　　Wei Yuan dropped a chess piece and said:

　　"First, Gonggong once transformed into a human, so he will be suppressed by the human emperor's artifacts. If we can wake up Zheng, ahem, I mean, the First Emperor, then the Twelve Golden Men, the Tai'a Sword, the Jade Seal of the Realm, and the Xuanyuan Sword Qi combined are enough to briefly suppress Gonggong at this moment."

　　"Second, Taotie, who is searching for the gold and iron of the Nine Provinces in the Great Wilderness and overseas countries."

　　Wei Yuan said slowly, "This is the remaining material for the Nine Cauldrons, which is enough to forcibly complete the seal."

　　"It is also the best way to solve the Gonggong disaster head-on."

　　The old Taoist thought for a while and said, "You mean, we forcibly confront him, and then let the First Emperor take advantage of his unpreparedness to briefly suppress Gonggong with the human emperor's artifacts, and while Gonggong is breaking through this suppression, we re-strengthen the seal with the iron of the Nine Provinces, sealing Gonggong back in?"

　　"Yes, the feasibility is very high."

　　The old Tianshi exclaimed, "You can actually think of such a method?"

　　"This is the only way. It's not hard to think of..."

　　"And what do you mean by that, Taoist Zhang? How did you see me before?"

　　"A brainless but very troublesome white-haired fox spirit."

　　Immediate answer.

　　Wei Yuan: "…………"

　　Wei Yuan really wanted to reach out and grab the old Taoist's *tianlinggai* (crown of the head) and give him a move of the Zulong's (Candle Dragon) personally taught physical skills, but when he thought about the neat row of *suxiao jiuxin wan* (quick-acting heart-saving pills) in the old Taoist's medical insurance card consumption record, he felt a little guilty for some reason.

　　He coughed with his palm against his chin and said, "Forget it. I am magnanimous and won't bother with you. If the First Emperor wants to be able to briefly suppress Gonggong with the human emperor's artifacts, he needs Nuwa's soil to reshape his physical body... On this point, I already have some clues."

　　"It's just that Taotie hasn't been able to come back until now..."

　　"And that is the only known iron of the Nine Provinces we have now."

　　"I will do my best to find clues to the remaining iron of the Nine Provinces."

　　Zhang Ruosu pondered for a long time and could only sigh, "It's really difficult."

　　"Now we can only hope that he can keep his promise."

　　"And, the matter of confronting Gonggong head-on..."

　　Wei Yuan stretched out his hand: "Leave this matter to me."

　　"Even without the iron of the Nine Provinces, we must stop Gonggong outside the coastline of the Divine Land."

　　"Don't worry, my physique has been tempered, and with the blessing of the Shennong Whip, I won't die so easily..." Wei Yuan's voice paused, "In the Great Wilderness, a senior once told me that the common people have their responsibilities and battlefields, and we also have the battlefields we need to be responsible for."

　　Wei Yuan looked at his hand and spoke as if he were Yu back then:

　　"Therefore."

　　"Stopping Gonggong outside is our responsibility..."

　　The old Tianshi said, "I will join hands with you, plus that little girl, your wife."

　　"??!"

　　Wei Yuan was stunned, "Wife? No, what..."

　　"Not?" The old Tianshi said playfully.

　　"No... it's not yet."

　　The old Taoist laughed. He originally wanted to say that you should just get your marriage certificate before the war with Gonggong, and the banquet can be held later, but then he realized that these young people seemed to care about this, such as saying that they would get married after the war, and go back to their hometowns after the war, especially taboo.

　　He didn't speak, and stroked his beard, saying:

　　"However, what about your sword now? What are your plans?"

　　Wei Yuan said, "If it really doesn't work, I can condense lightning and fire into a weapon to fight."

　　"That won't do. It's as if my Divine Land doesn't have any weapons."

　　The old man thought for a while, suddenly smiled, and pointed to those magical weapons from other divine systems, saying, "With these things, plus the remnants of your Chang'an Sword, there may be a glimmer of hope..."

　　"But the Mount Buzhou God said that only Zhurong and the Nuwa Empress can recast my sword."

　　"That's because he hasn't come to the human world."

　　The old man replied decisively, and then said gently:

　　"There are people who hold swords and go to the battlefield, and there are people who forge swords."

　　"As you said, completing weapons that only gods can complete is their battlefield. Wei Yuan, come with me."

　　"The Kua Fu Plan that was previously executed has already achieved some results."

　　……………………

　　At the same time, the Zhenyao Museum.

　　The young strategist glanced at the turbulent waves outside.

　　His expression was calm. The great tribulation of heaven and earth was just another great dream. And if you ask the past opponents, everyone will get the same conclusion. Zhuge Wu Hou (Marquis Wu), the one on the battlefield, never doesn't have a backup plan.

　　Whoever chases him dies.

　　Marquis Wu stretched out his hand.

　　The position under his feet changed, and the Six Jia Mysterious Gate Array unfolded.

　　The array that summoned him back had undergone preliminary repairs under his feet, and he had successfully fooled, ah no, he had persuaded many mountain gods and water gods to come and help, so this time the array should be better and more precise than before.

　　The young strategist held the folded, scarlet flag, which had dimmed and faded and had many black decayed spots, and placed this thing like a young man's dream into the array.

　　Four mountain gods and four water gods all used their magic power.

　　The sleeves of the white-clothed youth fluttered, and he looked quietly at the light of the array in front of him.

　　But his thoughts ran away somewhere. At this time, should he say

　　'It's my turn, draw a card!'?

　　Or should he say, 'Following the contract, are you my Heroic Spirit?'

　　In a joking mood, the ancient battle flag finally fell down helplessly. Bai Ze regretted and was disappointed. Did Marquis Wu's array fail? Yes, this guy is simply a crazy genius. He actually planned to directly deceive the heaven and earth to a certain extent, so that the summoned person appeared in full force.

　　How is this possible...

　　But, just as the battle flag fell, it was suddenly grasped by a hand.

　　Bai Ze suddenly looked up.

　　Whoosh——

　　The battle flag representing the blazing Han Dynasty seemed to be revived from the historical years, and suddenly unfolded, as if it was wrapped in an ancient storm from the vast desert, with a blazing fighting spirit, as if it still carried the desert and prairie winds.

　　A clear-eyed, armored youth appeared in the array.

　　The young strategist smiled and nodded:

　　"Welcome back."

　　"Sealed the wolf to live, the champion of the three armies..."

　　His voice was calm and gentle: "The Han Dynasty, Marquis Guan Jun (Champion Marquis)."
