Transmigrating to another world, starting as a mountain god

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains pretended to be deep in thought and said to Li Yuan:

"The fact that Anshan will have no rain for the next ten years is determined by the rules of Heaven, and there's nothing I can do about it..."

Li Yuan was dumbfounded and said unwillingly, "Are there so many gods in heaven who can't even arrange a rain?"

Many deities shook their heads: "Making the wind and rain is not difficult, but it is based on the fact that the area is subject to the rules of Heaven, indicating that there will be rain in the future!"

“Anshan is barren and holds an extremely low position in the Heavenly Dao. There will be no rainfall for the next ten years. Even if the rain from more than ten years from now is moved here, what will happen for the next ten years or so?”

Li Yuan felt bitter.

He completely disregarded his reputation and made such a big scene. Was it all for nothing?

The mortals down the mountain are still waiting for their mountain god to return after praying for rain!

If there is no rain for ten consecutive years, all people and things in Ansan will surely perish!

Once all living beings have perished, when demons arrive, no one can stop them; what will die is this delicious, ready-to-eat immortal energy!

Is this how my time travel is going to end in such a pathetic way?

Li Yuan's eyes suddenly lit up.

He's a transmigrator, so why doesn't he take advantage of the world he came from?

Upon realizing this, Li Yuan quickly got up from the ground and bowed to the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains.

"The rules of Heaven are beyond my ability to speak of."

"But, there are living beings in the world, and as living beings, they have the right to pursue survival!"

"This humble god dares to plead with the Heavenly Emperor for the sake of all the creatures on this mountain!"

"Modify the rules of Heaven to give the living beings of Anshan a chance to survive!"

The Jade Emperor, shrouded in mist, narrowed his eyes.

All causes and effects are contained in every drink and every bite.

The rules of Heaven are extremely complex; any rash action could affect the entire Three Realms.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains in the Lingxiao Palace shook his head.

"The Heavenly Emperor rules over the Three Realms, and the Heavenly Way is impartial and selfless. Unless it is a major event that affects the Three Realms, the rules of the Heavenly Way must never be touched or changed!"

Li Yuan did not intend to continue with moral blackmail.

To use human morality to hold gods hostage? To hold the Way of Heaven hostage?

I wouldn't even dare to dream of doing this!

However, Li Yuan already knew they would refuse.

"Then let's try another method!"

His voice echoed in the Lingxiao Hall, clear and full of youthful vigor.

Many deities focused their attention on this little mountain god.

Those big shots weren't in a hurry to kick Li Yuan out; they all wanted to hear what this newly promoted little god had in mind.

For the first time in history, the main role in the prestigious Grand Assembly of Ten Thousand Immortals in the Three Realms did not fall to the Heavenly Emperor.

"I have three methods; please consider their feasibility, esteemed leaders!"

Li Yuan stood straight, his gaze clear and firm.

"The first principle is to compensate for the lack with the abundant!"

“Anshan has been suffering from drought for years, so we borrow some floodwater from areas that are prone to flooding!”

"I swear to the heavens!"

"I, Li Yuan, the mountain god of Anshan, will surely protect Anshan, make it grow and prosper, safeguard the lives of the people, and gain the approval of Heaven to bestow upon Anshan rainfall!"

"At that time, Little God Li Yuan will repay you with ten times the amount of clean water!"

"Heaven bears witness, there is no turning back!"

A thunderclap resounded from the heavens, as if remembering Li Yuan's words.

The oath to Heaven has been fulfilled!

Li Yuan looked at the other mountain and river immortals.

We swear an oath to Heaven, that we will repay the flood with ten times the amount of clean water!

All the immortals avoided Li Yuan's gaze.

Even if such conditions are tempting, who would dare to respond without the approval of the top leader?

"The second method is to ask the mountain gods and river gods nearby to help me cut off an underground river to enter the desolate desert."

"This great favor will surely be repaid by the humble god Li Yuan!"

Many mountain gods and river gods subconsciously shook their heads.

The Anshan Desert stretches for thousands of miles; the cost is too high.

If deities recklessly disturb the earth's veins, they might incur the wrath of Mother Earth.

This is about disturbing the earth's veins; any mistake could have enormous consequences.

No deity would dare to take such a huge risk to help a newly promoted minor mountain god.

Only mortals, favored by Mother Earth, can freely exploit the earth's veins without her easily becoming angry!

However, if ordinary people want to alter the earth's energy patterns or divert rivers, it often takes several years or even decades.

The number of people needed is even more difficult to estimate.

If Li Yuan could gather mortals to undertake such a massive project, why would he need to go to heaven?

Li Yuan was not discouraged when he saw that many mountain and river gods were shaking their heads.

"The Third Law!"

"Please, Mountain Lord, remove Anshan from the list of all mountains in the world, level it, rebuild it, and rename it. That should be possible... Let Heaven review it and give it another chance!"

Li Yuan didn't dare to say he was deceiving the Heavenly Dao.

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains frowned deeply.

How is this third method any different from deceiving the will of Heaven? The risk is too great!

South-to-North Water Diversion Project, road diversion, and a fresh start under a new guise.

These methods were practically worn out in Li Yuan's original world.

But in this strange world, in this ancient world where gods are in charge, it is truly astonishing.

Li Yuan, however, already had a general idea in his mind.

As expected, the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains spoke after a moment of contemplation.

"The second and third methods are too risky; they are simply violating the bottom line of the natural order."

"If you insist on praying for rain, only the first method can be adopted."

"If we borrow one and repay ten, then we don't really owe anyone a favor..."

Li Yuan shouted "Yay!" in his heart!

His face remained impassive: "The creatures of Anshan live in hardship, and it is my duty to seek a way for them to survive!"

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains nodded, but a hint of curiosity lingered in his heart, and he couldn't help but ask:

"The floodwaters are filthy; mortals should not drink from them, or they will fall ill, and earthly medicine will be unable to cure them. How will you save them?"

His question touched upon the very doubts that many deities had in mind.

Li Yuan smiled slightly: "The mountain god has his own brilliant plan."

The Heavenly Emperor, hidden among the clouds, brightened up again. Could there be something more interesting to come?

The Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains arranged for a mountain god from a flood-stricken area to have a detailed conversation with Li Yuan.

Finally, Li Yuan borrowed ten million catties of water from the mountain god to smother the flood.

Converted to the figures from Li Yuan's original world, that's 5000 tons of floodwater.

No matter how much more, people won't be willing to lend it.

They borrowed 5000 tons of floodwater, but have to return 50000 tons of clean water!

Borrowing one and repaying ten is practically free; it's not even usury anymore.

With the Heavenly Oath in place and so many deities as witnesses, Li Yuan has no reason to renege on his promise.

However, Li Yuan desperately needs a batch of water resources.

Even though this water is far from enough to irrigate the entire Ansan mountain range, it is with this water that Ansan has the basic capital for development!

Only the ordinary people living at the foot of Anshan Mountain will not die in that desolate place unknown to anyone!

After agreeing on the follow-up matters, Li Yuan was taken back to his seat.

The nameless general standing to the side remained calm and did not get up from beginning to end.

However, he showed an expression of amazement at Li Yuan.

"You're something else, kid! With so many powerful beings watching you, you can still chatter on and on!"

"Even sitting on the side, I felt the overwhelming pressure emanating from those great deities was terrifying!"

The military officer laughed heartily and patted Li Yuan on the shoulder.

Li Yuan only dared to create such a scene because he was momentarily impulsive. Now that he has calmed down after it was all over, he is almost out of his mind.

Thankfully, the people in Heaven are all civilized!

He couldn't help but feel fortunate.

If, during a passionate performance, some big shot gets impatient and slaps him back to Anshan, that would be quite a show.
