Chapter 116: Water Knows The Answer. (2)
The news that the water had gone bad was not something to be taken lightly. Water was essentially life itself.
In the primitive ancient uncivilized Central Plains that depended on agriculture, the importance of water could not be overstated even with hundreds of asterisks.
In the past, King Yu1 manipulated the floods and established the domain of the Central Plains, stabilizing the world through water management.
This moved Emperor Shun2 so much that he passed the throne to Yu.
The Three Sovereigns were gods, and the Five Emperors were demigods. Emperor Shun, as the last of these Five Emperors, passed the throne to humans.
It was a historic moment when the Emperor transitioned from a mythical being to a human.
In other words, the link between myth and humanity laid in water management, the control of water.
This was how important water was.
"What do you mean the water has gone bad?"
