Everyone knelt before Yun Xiao Yi, offering their heartfelt thanks and murmuring praises. To them, this was not just water; it was the very belief and support needed to survive.
As he looked at the crowd on their knees, Yun Xiao Yi felt a tightening in his heart. He began to deeply reflect on his future. Should he be a wandering traveler, experiencing the different splendid scenes throughout history? Or should he use his unique skills to bring welfare to the people and liberate them from suffering?
In truth, he already had an answer to this question deep within him. Perhaps in childhood, one had to choose between the two, but as one matured, it often became possible to embrace both! Especially since he knew that following the end of the Three Kingdoms era would come the chaotic times of the Wei Jin Nan Bei Chao period.
Having experienced the historical calamities of the Eight Kings Rebellion and the Five Barbarians Invasion, he understood that during that time, the status of Han Chinese commoners was abysmally low; at times, the remaining population of the entire nation dwindled to mere tens of thousands, facing the brink of ethnic extinction. The land was plagued by turmoil, with bones scattered across mountains and fields.
Now, possessing the ability to change this tragedy yet choosing inaction weighed heavily on him. Yun Xiao Yi realized that if he were to return to modern times, he would likely find it difficult to face the reproaches of friends and family back home. On a deeper level, seeking welfare for all living beings and paving the way for future peace was not only a continuation of the thoughts of wise predecessors but also a shared sentiment and romantic aspiration among all descendants of Huaxia.
For Yun Xiao Yi, emotions were no exception. At this moment, he solidified his resolve and no longer resisted being called an immortal by others. Considering that they were currently in the late Eastern Han period, rumors about demons and monsters were quite prevalent. As a time traveler, he lacked a prominent background and could not expect people to bow to his authority at first sight. Only through the power of faith could he more effectively win hearts.
In the future, Zhang Jiao would adopt a similar approach. However, compared to Zhang Jiao's hypocrisy...
He had indeed mastered the skills of an immortal. The items and abilities he acquired in the game were, at that time, akin to a dimensional strike. Moreover, he himself was Creator God Steve, so becoming an immortal was only natural for him. Not only did he aspire to be an immortal, but he also aimed to be the one of the highest status.
During the late Eastern Han dynasty, Taoism was just beginning to take shape, with sects like the Wudoumi Sect established for only about forty years. As for the Taiping Dao, it would still take another two years before its founding. The system of immortals was hardly even a topic of discussion. Buddhism and others were also in their infancy.
With Steve's abilities, calling him a Creator Deity seemed just right. It was unfortunate that he couldn't bring along various plugins from the game; otherwise, he could truly be seen as a creator. However, his current skills were already quite formidable. If no other immortals were present in this place, he could act freely.
The fate of Zhang Jiao and the Yellow Turban Army served as a reminder to him that the Eastern Han was still at its peak, having experienced four years of brilliance during the two Han dynasties that had yet to fade. The powerful families controlled the discourse and cultural deconstruction within society. If he rose too early to instigate change, he would undoubtedly face attacks from all sides. Although various traits granted Yun Xiao Yi an advantageous position...
Yet in the end, it is the common people who suffer and sacrifice. Therefore, it is unwise to be the first bird to show its feathers. In summary, there are three points: build thick walls, accumulate abundant food, and temporarily avoid the spotlight.
The infinite waters of the river flow until they reach a point seven meters away, where they abruptly stop, as if hindered by an invisible barrier. Gently stroking her chin, Yun Xiao Yi pondered, "It seems that the rules of the game hold an advantage over the real world."
In the real world, water flows from higher points to lower ones due to gravity. However, within the game, the spread of water is limited to a radius of seven squares, equivalent to seven meters in reality. Once this distance is crossed, even if the ground slopes more steeply, the water will not continue to flow forward. Only with a vertical drop of more than one meter can the water begin to move again.
If channels exceeding one meter in depth are dug every seven meters, it would ensure that the water can extend without restriction. However, this method is only suitable for smaller areas because even if one were to dig a channel deeper than Mount Everest, it would only allow water to cover a range of over sixty kilometers. For large water systems, this is merely a small tributary; yet for ordinary humans, this task is daunting enough to make them hesitate.
When faced with challenges, there is always a way to find solutions. If a single point cannot satisfy the need, multiple combinations can always yield results.
Not to mention the interference from humans, which caused the Infinite Water Source to continuously break free from its restricted area, rendering the game rules ineffective. This type of water quality became indistinguishable from ordinary water, adhering to the same physical properties.
When the villagers of Zhao Clan Village witnessed the constant emergence of clear and sweet spring water, they couldn't help but leap into the Hutuo River, drawn to this infinite water source, eager to taste it for themselves. The refreshing and sweet sensation! Truly, it was a divine elixir crafted by immortals, far surpassing any river water they had ever encountered. Perhaps it could indeed heal ailments and prolong life.
The only unusual aspect of this water source was that it lacked a springhead and did not connect to an underground riverbed. Beneath the surface lay emptiness, with only compacted earth visible, yet miraculously, it maintained a steady flow of water. Furthermore, although it was clearly a downhill section, the water inexplicably flowed upward. It seemed as if some invisible force was preventing it from moving beyond a radius of seven meters around its source.
It was truly bizarre. However, it was no surprise; after all, this was the work of an immortal. If we mere mortals could comprehend its mysteries, they would no longer be considered immortals. To them, concepts like physics and science were trivial matters.
