Global Lords: Me and My Calabash Kiddos

Chapter 82: Chapter 74: Sand Shadow, A Spirit Rain

At this moment, Yi Tian thought of a phrase.

Sand Shadow!

Yu!

This is almost exactly the same as the legends on Earth.

Are the Celestial Dao Rules really this ruthless?

Even water can be cut off?

In this kind of environment, cutting off the water supply is basically taking half the Lords’ lives.

Don’t be fooled by some Lords starting to eat other top-level intelligent life. With water, starving them for ten days won’t actually kill them!

That’s thanks to constitution!

In extreme environments, without water, living creatures will break down in just three days.

Even scarier, in a severe water shortage, everyone uses Mist Scrolls to go out looking for water—could throw the whole Celestial Dao World into chaos.

Yi Tian finally realized why those fish-eating storks would rush into the lake even to their deaths—it’s probably because they’re carrying Yu, throwing the Yu into the lake.

Yi Tian wanted to wake up Fourth Child and ask if any fish-eating storks fell into Lake No.2.

Thinking about the stream that runs through the two lakes, Yi Tian shook his head.

”Don’t you have any reserve water in your water tower?”

Yi Tian asked Purple Phoenix Moon Dance again. If the water tower was filled up, and used sparingly, they’d have no trouble drinking all summer.

”Just used it up, forgot to restock. The purifier’s out of water too, I’m already out.” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance replied to Yi Tian, ”You’d better fill every container you can with water right now, or there’ll be no chance tomorrow.”

”Can’t you get water remotely?”

Yi Tian was no longer sleepy, got dressed, and got up.

He remembered that when everyone was dealing with Lightning Snakes at first, the flying buckets fetching water worked pretty well.

”I tried. No use. The moment the bucket hits the lake, it’s destroyed by the Yu.” replied Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

”Aren’t you a Phoenix? Just fly up!” Yi Tian teased.

”Even after transforming, it’s no use. There’s sunlight during the day, and the blood moon at night—doesn’t matter when, there’s always a shadow. If I fly, my shadow falls on the lake. If my Spiritual Power wasn’t strong enough, I’d probably have ended up just like my underlings. Those Yu aren’t afraid of arrows or Spiritual attacks, and even when I use my innate ability, I can’t hurt them.” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance didn’t notice Yi Tian was joking, and responded seriously.

”You still have an innate ability? What level?” Yi Tian suddenly asked Purple Phoenix Moon Dance, ”Can you tell me if there’s any difference between innate abilities in Celestial Dao World and your original world?”

”All I can say is my innate ability has been weakened a lot in the Celestial Dao World.” Purple Phoenix Moon Dance stayed cautious.

”Oh, I see!”

Yi Tian confirmed his guess—Purple Phoenix Moon Dance’s innate ability is S-level or above.

As expected! That means Little Kiddo and his own talents still have room to grow.

”We’re friends, don’t worry, there’s plenty of water!”

Having verified his idea, Yi Tian was happy, came to the brook, and without another word traded plenty of water to Purple Phoenix Moon Dance.

Just not sure if Yu would appear in the clear brook water?

The Yu should be hiding deep in the lake right now, and when they’re fully grown, they’ll put on a ”Sand Shadow” performance for the Lords.

The Lords who struggled so hard to kill all the fish-eating storks are about to run into real trouble. After this, they can’t catch fish anymore, maybe not even drink water.

Even Purple Phoenix Moon Dance can’t deal with the Yu. That shows how powerful Yu is.

Just to be safe, Yi Tian filled up all the water towers and stuffed the purifiers with water.

Yi Tian’s territory has Fifth Child—no water shortage here. If things get tight, Fourth Child can just summon a rain, problem solved.

Additionally, Yi Tian woke up Gu Qianqiu, had everyone store enough water, and told them to stay away from the lake from tomorrow on.

Because the brook is the main road for chores, Yi Tian blocked it off at the source directly, temporarily cutting off the flow.

There’s work to be done tomorrow—if the brook gets overrun by Yu, that’s a disaster!

As for his region, Yi Tian still left a reminder.

The regional channel is one of the few places where Yi Tian actually enjoys himself—at least there are some friends that he gets along with.

Besides, this is a great opportunity for Yi Tian to build up prestige.

When the mist disappears in the future, anyone with a conscience will remember this favor from Yi Tian.

Counting this time, Yi Tian has already issued early warnings to Zone 66 four times.

It was eleven p.m. Most Lords hadn’t slept, too hot to sleep.

When Yi Tian shared the info about Yu, Zone 66 exploded into chaos.

Fish-eating storks, locusts, indigenous invaders—the facts prove Yi Tian’s info is always spot on.

For a totally average region, news can be really hard to come by.

Why would a top player from the Auction House add some dude with sub-100 three-dimensional stats as a friend?

A lot of people asked Yi Tian how to deal with Yu, but Yi Tian didn’t have an answer either.

If you can deal with Yu, you could get rich selling water. But Yu is like a mountain, blocking the road to fortune.

Purple Phoenix Moon Dance only knows half the story about Yu at best.

Not to mention, the Yu of a Top-Level Region and Ordinary Region are two different beasts.

Immune to Spiritual attacks. Immune to arrows. Basically immune to physical attacks.

Seems even more overpowered than Celestial Beasts!

Yi Tian’s got a plan, but needs the Yu to actually show up before testing things out.

Celestial Dao Rules always leave a sliver of hope.

The info from Zone 66 quickly got to Zone 10086. At first, the Lords didn’t believe it.

But after they realized Yi Tian’s early warnings about the fish-eating stork, locust, and indigenous invader events all came true, they immediately changed their tune.

Before these three things happened, there were rumors in Zone 10086, but Yao Wuyu big boss always shot them down.

So Yao Wuyu’s reputation took a nosedive, and half the Demon Alliance ran off.

Now Yao Wuyu doesn’t dare speak in the region, but still gets dragged out constantly for a public beating.

It could be said that the reputation Yao Wuyu built painstakingly, was ruined by Yi Tian. Yao Wuyu really hates him now.

Hatred can blind people. Yao Wuyu refuses to believe Yu will show up, so he posts in the region: ”If there’s no water, none of us can survive. The Celestial Dao Rules are here to make us stronger, not to let us die of thirst and hunger. I guarantee the Yu will not appear!”

This is Yao Wuyu’s first direct clash with Yi Tian.

He’s betting the Yu will not appear.

If Yu doesn’t show, Yao Wuyu can reestablish his fame.

If not, then he’s just handing the stage to Yi Tian. Even if Yi Tian stays silent, he’ll still be feared across the region.

”Yao Wuyu, last time I believed your bullshit. Otherwise, I would have at least stocked half-cooked vegetables. Look at me now, almost eating dirt.”

”Yeah, thanks to you, otherwise I’d have some salted fish.”

”Yao Wuyu, you dare talk? This is Big Bro Yi Tian from Zone 66 talking—he’s always reliable. Other regions have already suffered—why would the Celestial Dao spare us?”

”My biggest regret is joining the Demon Alliance. Good thing I woke up just in time, otherwise, who knows how bad things would get.”

”There’s still a bunch of brainless defenders of Yao Wuyu in Demon Alliance. What a joke.”

”Yao Wuyu, I believed your crap last time. If I ever meet you, I’ll smash your dog head.”

”Hey, watch it with the dog insults!” —Gou Sheng from Celestial Dog Star, Dogman Race.

In Zone 10086, Yao Wuyu is like a rat crossing the street—everyone wants to beat him up.

Almost no one trusts Yao Wuyu anymore.

Back then, Yao Wuyu thought Yi Tian was just posturing for fame. He wouldn’t allow anyone to outshine him in the region, so he shut down others’ voices.

Now, Yao Wuyu’s eating his own words.

If the Yu really turn up tomorrow, Yao Wuyu will never recover his reputation.

This is exactly ”man fears getting famous, pig fears getting fat.” Yi Tian’s fast asleep, has no idea what’s going on in the region, but he’s already made an enemy of Yao Wuyu.

Day 10 of Summer.

Yi Tian’s been drinking Enlightenment Tea for three days straight. His mastery of Celestial Ice Palm is flying forward.

Yi Tian estimates one more week tops, and his Celestial Ice Palm will reach Great Success.

Fifth Child can also learn Celestial Ice Palm. She’s too hot now, so it’s on hold. Once the weather cools, with her divine-level potential and a couple rounds of Enlightenment Tea, her progress will be fast.

Liyue and Qixin both have Misty Step Technique—that SSS-level movement skill is from their cave adventure. They’re pretty chill, haven’t seen them practice much.

Yi Tian already asked them to organize the movement technique, so he and the Kiddos can train together later.

These three days, with body refining and qi refining, Yi Tian’s gained three points of strength, two points of constitution, one point agility, and three points of Spiritual Power.

...

A new day. The only thing the Lords can be glad about is that the temperature hasn’t risen again—seems stuck at 55℃.

”Celestial Dao Stone, use the Rain Beast Core.”

Yi Tian stood on the villa’s top floor, holding the Rain Beast Core, communicating with the Celestial Dao Stone.

Rain Beast Core—when used, Spirit Rain falls within the territory for three hours; all plants grow by one month.

Eighteen thousand acres of wheat and rice planted in total.

Three thousand acres growing melons and vegetables.

Additionally, thirty thousand fruit trees—after this Spirit Rain, all will bear a crop of fruit.

Over four hundred thousand high-level trees will all grow another stretch.

Also intermediate trees, ordinary trees...

”Crack!”

The Rain Beast Core in his hand cracked like an eggshell in Yi Tian’s palm.

A huge ball of white mist floated upward.

Yi Tian vaguely saw a phantom—a little beast with a blue horn and covered in white fluff.

”So this is what a Rain Beast looks like?”

Yi Tian muttered.

The white mist expanded as it rose, by a meter wider for every meter up.

Until finally, it blanketed the sky, covering the entire territory.

There were no dark clouds, just white ones.

No wind, no thunder—just the sun being blocked, a sudden drop in temperature, and amazing coolness.

As soon as the white mist covered the territory, the Spirit Rain arrived on schedule.

”Crack!”

Fifth Child beside Yi Tian, job habits acting up, jumped up and spat a bolt of lightning.

She even kept clapping, looking super happy.

Spirit Rain fell like ten thousand threads of silver from the sky, quietly and beautifully.

When it hit Yi Tian, he felt more refreshed than ever before, almost like a spiritual baptism—a deep sense of peace.

In that moment, all things grew, all sounds stilled.

On the western land by the lake, as soon as the Spirit Rain moistened the soil, a sea of seedlings burst up visibly to the naked eye.

The three thousand acres of crops that were almost ripe before? Instantly ripe now.

Tens of thousands of high-level trees, roots grew deeper, trunks thicker, leaves lush and green.

The orchards and fruit trees on the little hills bloomed in a flash of beauty.

On the grasslands, the ruined plains ”spring” to life once again...
