In the days of the primordial world, floods raged beneath the Dragon Gate, leaving the people homeless and destitute. Ten generations of flood tamers had all perished in the colossal waves.
Shen Yuan was merely a lowborn river laborer, but by chance, he obtained a fragment of the ancient flood-control scripture, the River Chart and Luo Writing.
Others controlled floods by building dams, but he insisted on combining dams with diversion channels, redirecting rivers and blocking floodwaters. At the perilous Dragon Gate, he carved a waterway reaching to the heavens. Others feared the water demons, but he took up a water-subduing cudgel, ventured deep into the water palace, tore apart the rampaging dragons with his bare hands, and forced the water clan to bow in submission. Others said mortals could never challenge the heavens, but he would face the heavenly tribulation with his own flesh and blood, swearing atop the raging floodwaters, “As long as the rivers do not burst their banks, I shall not fall!”
From a “reckless river laborer” mocked by all to the “Water God of Dragon Gate” worshipped by countless people, every step Shen Yuan took was across surging waves.
But no one knew that this journey of flood control had long since entangled the karma of the Three Realms. The Celestial Court coveted dominion over the waterways, the demonic path sought to overturn the rivers, and even the ancient Water Ancestor, asleep for tens of thousands of years, had quietly opened its eyes…
As the Dragon Gate waterfall hung upside down across the starry river and a million members of the water clan formed ranks, Shen Yuan held the Jade Seal of Water Division and thundered across the nine heavens:
“From this day on, I shall command the rivers, and rule the Eight Wastelands!”
