Ao Tu's face showed embarrassment, the initial bribe of the Heavenly Emperor was a scheme he had devised.
The Heavenly Emperor was originally a mortal emperor of the Imperial Court, with only a Nascent Soul cultivation forcibly elevated to Divinity Transformation. With little worldly experience, he had planned to be dazzled by rare treasures to bewitch his mind, yet he took advantage and did nothing in return.
"Fellow Daoist Bai, with the Heavenly Court controlled by the Three Teachings, what the Heavenly Emperor said may not necessarily be true..."
As Ao Tu was searching for excuses, suddenly a shrimp soldier came tumbling in, screaming at the top of his lungs.
"Report—"
"Dragon Lord, the Shang Shui has run dry!"
"What?"
Ao Tu's eyes bulged, thinking he had heard wrong. The Shang Shui was one of the greatest rivers in the Divine Land, with a history older than the Dragon Palace itself.
