Chapter 705 - 704: Gu Yuexi, Lord Mosquito Is Coming to Save You

Xiaoqing was earnestly introducing the sacred river of the Amazon Race to Chu Sheng.

Then she suddenly heard a SPLASH.

She looked in astonishment toward the source of the sound.

Just in time to see Chu Sheng dive headfirst into the Amazon River.

A huge spray of water erupted.

Xiaoqing opened her mouth, wanting to say something.

But her mind was a complete blank.

After a long moment, she finally managed to choke out a sentence.

"Lord Divine Mosquito, you only need to drink a mouthful of the sacred water to have a child. You don’t have to jump right in."

"Besides, the river is very deep. Be careful not to drown."

Did Chu Sheng want to have little mosquitos?

Of course not.

Whether it was the scroll fragment obtained from the Qin Family,

the fragment from the Witch Race Divine Hall, or that little red flower from Xuan Yuan Changfeng,

all those fragments of the Map of Mountains and Rivers had been stored separately.

But this piece from the Amazon Race was fused with the entire Amazon River Basin.

If he wanted to cleanly extract the fragment of the Map of Mountains and Rivers from the Amazon River,

the best way was to jump in himself to speed up the absorption process.

’Besides, a swim wouldn’t hurt.’

’It’s so hot anyway.’

[Ding! Fragment of the Map of Mountains and Rivers detected. Absorption in progress...]

[Ding! Absorption progress: 3%...]

[Ding! Absorption progress: 10%...]

[Ding! Absorption progress: 35%...]

After swimming freely for over ten minutes,

the system’s notification changed.

[Ding! Map of Mountains and Rivers fragment successfully absorbed!]

[Ding! The Primordial Grotto Heaven is undergoing an upgrade...]

As the river fragment finished being absorbed,

a massive, rumbling sound of transformation echoed through Chu Sheng’s Primordial Grotto Heaven.

A short while later,

the entire Primordial Grotto Heaven underwent a heaven-and-earth-shattering change.

When he first absorbed the scroll fragment of the Map of Mountains and Rivers from the Qin Family,

the Primordial Grotto Heaven was only several hundred yards in size.

Later, after absorbing the Witch Race Divine Hall and Xuan Yuan Changfeng’s little red flower,

its area had increased.

It was roughly the size of an ordinary village.

But now, after absorbing the Amazon River fragment,

the area of the Primordial Grotto Heaven had grown exponentially.

Its current scale

was comparable to a large town!

The original Amazon River now circled the borders of the Primordial Grotto Heaven,

just like a natural moat.

Its water was crystal clear, flowing slowly.

In the very center stood the majestic Witch Race Divine Hall.

Surrounding the Divine Hall was a sea of multicolored flowers.

When a gentle breeze blew, the fragrance of flowers filled the air.

’Just need to build a few houses and pave some roads,’

’and it’ll have the basic outline of a city!’

Looking at the brand-new Primordial Grotto Heaven, Chu Sheng was thrilled.

"After I absorb a few more fragments, it’ll truly become its own independent little world."

Just then,

he saw Immortal Venerable Shi Xi slowly walking out of the Witch Race Divine Hall.

Chu Sheng immediately flew over.

He asked eagerly,

"Immortal Venerable, do you know if there are any more fragments of the Map of Mountains and Rivers on Blue Star?"

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi shook her head.

"That was the last piece on Blue Star."

"If you wish to continue collecting fragments of the Map of Mountains and Rivers, you will need to search in the Spirit Realm."

Chu Sheng wasn’t disappointed.

He would have to go to the Spirit Realm to find the Little Empress soon anyway.

He could just collect them slowly once he got there.

"Oh, right, Immortal Venerable,"

Chu Sheng said.

"The Military Department has already helped me collect two Emperor Realm Spatial Treasures."

"Combined with the three I have, that makes a full set of five."

"When you have a moment, could you help me craft the World-Fixing Astrolabe?"

Only with the World-Fixing Astrolabe could he ascend to the Divine Realm under the Forbidden God Law and go to the Spirit Realm to find Gu Yuexi.

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi nodded.

"Anytime."

"Once you’ve settled your affairs on Blue Star, you can come find me whenever you’re ready."

She then looked Chu Sheng up and down.

A look of surprise appeared on her face.

"You’re about to advance to the Divine Realm?"

"Mhm, I should be able to advance in the next few days."

Chu Sheng nodded, replying truthfully.

Immortal Venerable Shi Xi gave a wry smile.

"So many geniuses existed during the Divine Revelation Era."

"If they knew that you went from an ordinary mosquito to the brink of the Divine Realm in less than two years..."

"...they would surely doubt their own talent."

"Every single one of them would be so ashamed they’d want to go smash their heads into a block of tofu."

"Hehe~"

Chu Sheng laughed sheepishly and didn’t explain.

’With the system on my side,’

’talent is worthless!’

Bidding farewell to Immortal Venerable Shi Xi,

Chu Sheng’s consciousness returned to reality.

He flew out of the Amazon River.

He shook his wings, flinging off the water droplets.

At that moment,

Anoma and Asia had already walked over, following the riverbank.

Anoma was just about to speak,

to announce the Amazon Race’s decision to join the Great Xia’s faction.

Suddenly,

her expression changed drastically.

She could sense it.

The Amazon River, which had accompanied the Amazon Race for over ten thousand years...

had changed!

That familiar, life-giving aura had vanished without a trace.

Anoma reached out a hand in shock

and touched the cold river water.

She immediately realized.

The most crucial function of this sacred river...

its "River of Mother and Child" function...

had vanished!!!

From now on, the women of the Amazon Race would no longer get pregnant from drinking this river’s water!

Anoma snapped her head up,

staring at Chu Sheng in disbelief.

Her voice began to tremble.

"What... what have you done to our sacred river?"

Chu Sheng didn’t answer her question directly.

Instead, he turned to look at Asia beside her

and asked a question.

"Do you remember what I told you when we first went to the East Japan Divine Domain?"

Asia hesitated.

She tilted her head, thinking for a moment,

then she answered uncertainly.

"To... learn more about men?"

"Correct!"

Chu Sheng nodded seriously.

Only then did he turn his gaze back to Anoma

and say in a solemn tone,

"If the Amazon Race doesn’t change,"

"if you continue to rely on this sacred river to reproduce,"

"you will simply vanish into the long river of history."

After hearing Chu Sheng’s words,

Anoma stood frozen on the spot, as if struck by lightning.

Her mind went blank.

’How did he know...’

’...that our Amazon Race was already facing a severe population crisis?’

’For years, the sacred river’s power has been weakening.’

’Many women drank the river’s water but couldn’t get pregnant.’

’The population of the Amazon Race has been shrinking year by year.’

’Only she and a few of the tribe’s Elders knew about this.’

’It has always been a closely guarded secret from the outside world.’

’Even Asia doesn’t know!’

’How could this mosquito from Great Xia know?’

’And he even told Asia to learn about men ahead of time?’

’Could it be that he predicted all of this?’

Chu Sheng’s tiny body,

suddenly seemed incomparably tall in Anoma’s eyes.

It shone with a light of mystery and wisdom.

Could Chu Sheng really predict things with divine accuracy?

Of course not.

He had simply heard from Asia before that the Amazon Race was composed entirely of women and relied on the sacred river to reproduce.

With a little thought, it was obvious.

Such a method of reproduction was bound to have huge drawbacks.

Moreover, as the power of the Map of Mountains and Rivers fragment drained away, the sacred river’s power would inevitably weaken.

A population crisis was inevitable.

’Putting on an act to fool this bunch of naive girls who’d never been far from home was a piece of cake.’

「Meanwhile, in the Extreme North Divine Domain.」

Loki stood disheveled in the center of the great hall.

"Father."

"The East Japan Divine Domain was wiped out by the Great Xia mosquito."

"Both Iyaki and Izanami are dead."

"The Amazon Race has also joined the Great Xia faction."

"If we don’t act now, sooner or later we will all become Great Xia’s prisoners."
