That idiot from the Sword Sect turned out to be a lucky charm.

Chapter 83 The Secret History of the Divine Dragon Dynasty

Bixi said, "Yes!"

Lin Zhifeng asked, "Then who gave birth to Yu the Great?"

Within Lin Zhifeng's understanding, only women or female animals can give birth. If Yu the Great had two fathers, then who was his mother?

Bixi said, "He was born from Gun!"

Everyone was speechless, including Longquan, a descendant of the Divine Dragon Dynasty.

This is quite shocking; their dynasty's history books don't say it this way.

Longquan tried to reason with Bixi: "Senior, are you mistaken? Our dynasty's historical records state that Gun was a human, and Yu's mother was also a human. But Gun's father might have been the same dragon as your father."

Bixi turned his head dismissively and said, "I know? You know?" Then, as if suddenly realizing something, he stamped his foot and said, "It must have been Yu who made it up. He later succeeded in controlling the floods and became the human king. How he fabricated his origins was entirely up to him!"

Everyone agreed; there was no need for Bixi to fabricate Yu's origins. This mythical beast didn't seem very clever and was easily fooled. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been captured by Yu and made a laborer, diligently helping to complete the flood control project. After the flood was controlled, Yu, fearing it would repeat its past mistakes, tricked it into carrying this stone tablet inscribed with its achievements. And it actually carried it all this time.

Lin Zhifeng, a bystander, couldn't help but jump in and ask, "Senior, could you tell us what exactly happened between Yu's two fathers?"

Bixi said, "Don't you all know what kind of person my father is? He's a womanizer, otherwise my brothers and I wouldn't have been born." Bixi didn't forget to complain about his own father before telling the story, which shows that he had a lot of opinions about his "sowing machine" father.

After complaining about his father, Bixi continued, "Back then, my father went to the mortal realm and fell in love with Gun. After much entanglement, the two became a couple. Later, a great flood struck the mortal realm, causing immense suffering. The human king at the time sent Gun to control the flood. Gun worked for many years but failed, and the floods continued to rage. He then came up with a plan: what if we used the Heavenly Emperor's Breath Soil to block the water? Wouldn't that solve the problem?"

“But our history says that Gun failed by using the method of ‘blocking.’ Later, Yu learned from his mistake and succeeded by using the method of dredging,” Longquan said.

Bixi said, "The Breath of Earth is a top-tier spiritual object belonging to the Heavenly Emperor, and it can be replicated infinitely. How could it not work?"

"Then why did Gun fail to control the floods?" Lin Zhifeng asked in confusion.

"He didn't fail in controlling the floods, but he used the Breath Soil, which he shouldn't have. How precious is this Breath Soil? It's the private property of the Heavenly Emperor. He stole it and used it on earth. Just think how great a sin that is! So when the Heavenly Emperor found out, he sent the Fire God Zhurong to kill Gun and take back the Breath Soil that Gun had stolen. Now that the Breath Soil has been taken back, the floods will surely return and cause disaster again!"

"But since the Breath Soil is a celestial object, it must be well-preserved. How could Gun, a human, have stolen it?" Lin Zhifeng asked.

Upon hearing this, Bixi paused, "Of course it was my old man who helped him! Otherwise, it would be difficult for him to even ascend to heaven."

Lin Zhifeng understood!

For the sake of his confidant, the old dragon defied the heavenly rules and helped Gun (or perhaps the old dragon himself directly intervened) steal the Breath Soil. After the incident, Gun, out of loyalty, took all the blame himself and did not implicate the old dragon.

However, Gun died at this point in the story. The question of "who was Yu's father?" remains unanswered.

Lin Zhifeng pointed out this loophole.

Bixi said, "The story isn't over yet, let me tell you the rest!"

"After Gun died, Zhu Rong exposed his body for three days. Firstly, to show it to the world as a warning to others; secondly, to show it to the Heavenly Emperor, hoping to curry favor and demonstrate his competence."

"Perhaps Gun's resentment was so great that his body remained undecayed and incorruptible even after being exposed to the sun for three days. On the third day, Yu actually emerged from Gun's belly. Gun himself transformed into a yellow dragon and flew away, never to be seen again."

"..." Lin Zhifeng felt that Bixi's words sounded like nonsense!

He tried to use his modern knowledge to rationalize the plot.

Since Gun could give birth, is it possible that he was intersex? That is, he looked like a man, but had a female reproductive system inside his body.

As for the fact that he gave birth after his death, is it possible that he was only brain dead at the time, and his body's various functions were still operating normally, so the child in his womb was able to survive?

Finally, Yu emerged from his abdomen, which was most likely a cesarean section.

However, the story of Gun transforming into a yellow dragon and flying away is inexplicable.

Was Gun rescued by aliens? Did they perform a cesarean section on him and then take him away in a yellow, shimmering dragon-shaped spaceship? Or was the so-called dragon shape just a delay in light and shadow that appeared to the human eye when the spaceship entered faster-than-light travel?

Therefore, Gun was actually a human, not a dragon.

This explains why Yu Mingming was powerful, but had a short lifespan.

For a moment, Lin Zhifeng felt he had discovered the truth.

Longquan, however, did not share Lin Zhifeng's perspective. Instead, he raised a question from his own point of view: "Senior, where did you obtain this information? Did you witness it yourself? Or did you hear it from your father?"

"If Gun was a yellow dragon, then shouldn't Yu be considered human? But our Divine Dragon Dynasty was clearly founded by the offspring of a human and an ancestral dragon. And if Yu was born of Gun, how come his lifespan was so short? Aren't you divine beasts supposed to live as long as the heavens?"

Bixi was initially quite unhappy about being questioned. However, he hadn't actually witnessed any of this himself. He only knew about Yu's life from other members of Yu's tribe during the flood control efforts. Surely something witnessed by so many people couldn't be false?

So Bixi said, “Although I didn’t see it with my own eyes, I heard it with my own ears. The person who told me this was an elder from Yu’s tribe; they all watched him grow up. Would they lie to me?”

Everyone thought to themselves, "Heh, we were just kidding!"

Regardless of the real truth, what they care about most now is how to fool this obviously dim-witted guy into letting them pass.

At this moment, Lin Zhifeng fully demonstrated the role of a working person and rushed forward to Bixi, saying, "Senior, since that's the case, we are also descendants of your old friends. We hope you will take good care of us in the future!"

Bixi said, "Yu is a very good person! He is a good friend! Not only is he capable, but he is also good to his subordinates and fair in rewarding and punishing them. I like him very much! I will naturally not make things difficult for his juniors."

Lin Zhifeng seized the opportunity and said, "That's right! In that case, could you please be lenient and do us juniors a favor?"

Longquan and the others echoed in unison, "Please grant our request, senior!"

Bixi said with difficulty, "I certainly don't want to make things difficult for you. But since I've been assigned to guard this tower, if I let you pass through directly, I'm afraid my father will punish me if he finds out in the future."

Lin Zhifeng said, "No! The First Emperor was willing to steal the Breath Soil for Gun, which shows that his feelings for Gun were extraordinary. So he would definitely give extra favors to his descendants. Just look at how long the human dynasties have lasted. Every fifty years or so, they open the pagoda to make it easier for the descendants of humans to retrieve the sacred objects. Every time, you brothers have to come and guard the pagoda. Isn't that troublesome? So, the First Emperor himself is already giving the descendants of humans a free pass. How could he punish you? On the contrary, if our predecessors were to be ruthless and make things difficult for us, and not let us pass, that would be what displeased the First Emperor and would be what led to your punishment!"

Bixi was completely bewildered by his words, thinking to himself: "That makes sense!"

Lin Zhifeng pressed on, saying, "Besides, they are all sons of the First Emperor, so why should we favor one over the other? If the First Emperor is going to punish you for this, you should ask him directly!"

Bixi was encouraged by him and his courage was ignited. What's wrong with helping Yu's descendants?

To be honest, Bixi is a really good dragon, as it let Longquan and the others pass so easily.

As they climbed the six-story staircase, even the usually taciturn Ding Mo couldn't help but sigh, "Senior Bixi is such a good person; it's almost a shame to try and fool him!"
