"Breakthrough!" Ye Qiu's heart was filled with joy. After the roar in his body just now, he immediately sensed a significant breakthrough in his strength.
Although not as powerful as Divinity Transformation, it's a breakthrough nonetheless!
Meanwhile.
By the river!
The villagers and the armed police forces in the town were still fighting desperately, their shouts rising and falling.
Jin Wang was sitting on a large rock, staring intently at the dam, his brows furrowed tightly together, "Strange, it's been four hours, why hasn't the dam been breached yet? It seems Ye Qiu has successfully blocked the dam's breach."
"But if that's the case, Ye Qiu is surely dead, right? Being underwater for so long, even if he could withstand the pressure of the water, he'd die from being unable to breathe, wouldn't he?"
Rumble, rumble!
Jin Wang was thinking when suddenly, the roar of trucks came from not far behind!
The next moment, nearly all the villagers around erupted!
"Look everyone, it's military vehicles, it's military vehicles! The troops have arrived!"
"They've brought emergency supplies, we're saved!"
"We're saved, the dam won't be breached, we've successfully preserved this land!"
The villagers waved their arms, cheering endlessly!
The dozen or so military vehicles leading the way slowly came to a halt, and the officer in charge of leading the emergency teams stepped down, looking around at the scene, his eyes filled with astonishment!
For this rescue mission, the military brought supplies to repair the dam, but ultimately, the officer's task was not to fully repair the damaged dam, but to evacuate the villagers completely!
Because according to satellite monitoring and military calculations, the dam would be destroyed before the troops arrived!
But now, looking at the scene before him, the officer and the soldiers who had arrived were all stupefied!
The dam wasn't destroyed!
The villagers and the town's armed police had united as one, defying nature!
This is simply a miracle!
"The power of the people is indeed the greatest!" the officer couldn't help but exclaim.
Just then, the mayor came running over with others, saluting the officer and shouting, "Hello, officer, I'm the mayor. You've finally arrived, thank you, thank you so much!"
As he spoke, a trace of sorrow flashed in the mayor's eyes as he looked toward the dam.
In his view, no one could survive underwater at the bottom of the dam for four hours; the so-called Celestial God Ye was already dead!
The mayor didn't know how Ye Qiu earned the title of Celestial God, but he only felt admiration and respect toward Ye Qiu!
In this era, there are indeed not many who dare to sacrifice themselves for the people!
"What happened?" The officer noticed the mayor and those around him looking troubled and asked gravely.
"It's Celestial God Ye!" The mayor shook his head, regretingly saying, "Before you arrived, to prevent the dam from being breached, Celestial God Ye jumped into the river alone, claiming to use his body to block the dam's breach.
It's been four hours now; thanks to Celestial God Ye's efforts, we've held on until you came to support us, but Celestial God Ye, Celestial God Ye has already sacrificed himself..."
"Celestial God Ye..."
"Celestial God Ye sacrificed himself..."
Upon hearing the villagers' words, those around became saddened.
No one believed Ye Qiu could last four hours underwater.
Everyone thought Ye Qiu had sacrificed himself!
"All soldiers!" The officer nodded slightly, a hint of apology in his eyes. He hadn't imagined events would reach this point, but he had no time to dwell on it.
He must lead all troops to provide Celestial God Ye with the highest honor!
However, just as the officer was about to lead the soldiers in salute, suddenly Zhao Chunxue's voice came from not far away.
"Celestial God Ye, come out quickly, the military's support has arrived!"
"Celestial God Ye, have you drowned?"
"If you really drowned, I won't miss you much, might just dig a hole and bury you!"
"With someone like you, in half a year, the grass on your grave will be over two meters tall!"
Zhao Chunxue was really audacious, speaking without considering the emotions of the crowd.
As soon as he finished, numerous hateful gazes fell sharply on him.
But before the crowd could get angry, suddenly...
Boom!
With a loud explosion, the river surface beside the dam suddenly erupted with towering waves, water splashing everywhere!
The next moment, a figure shot out, descending from the sky, appearing in everyone's line of sight!
Then, the entire space fell silent!
Including the officers who had just arrived to assist, everyone's expressions froze!
Jin Wang was dumbfounded!
The villagers were amazed!
The soldiers were beyond shocked!
No one had expected that Ye Qiu, who had been using his body to block the dam's breach underwater for four hours, would be able to survive!
This is simply incredible!
In this world, perhaps only a true Celestial God could achieve it?
After a few seconds of silence, the crowd cheered jubilantly.
"Oh yeah, wonderful, Celestial God Ye isn't dead, Celestial God Ye is still alive!"
"Long live Celestial God Ye!"
"Long live Celestial God Ye!"
At that moment, Ye Qiu, although alive, was already covered in hideous wounds, his face dripping with blood, even though the rain had washed over him, his features were very blurred.
Seeing his condition, the villagers were heartbroken, kneeling one by one on the ground.
They didn't know how to thank Ye Qiu, so they could only express their thoughts by kneeling.
Ye Qiu raised his hand, signaling the villagers to stand up quickly, then turned to the officer, speaking solemnly, "Don't just stand there, there isn't much time left, quickly arrange to repair the dam, I'll cooperate with you!"
The officer saluted without hesitation and quickly began directing the soldiers in the rescue operations.
The materials to repair the dam, many needed to be sent to the bottom of the river, but the rain was heavy, the river turbulent, so quickly became a problem faced by all the soldiers.
Fortunately, Ye Qiu was present, without hesitation, he took up the burden, carrying the materials and jumping into the river again, fully committed to repairing the dam!
Two hours later.
Ye Qiu stood at the site of the dam's breach, the breach had been repaired, the river finally stabilized, and a slight smile of relief appeared on Ye Qiu's face, "Not bad, the dam has been reinforced, it should last a few more years, during which time, there should be enough time for national support to rebuild this dam, then the villagers' homes will truly be preserved!"
Reflecting for a moment, Ye Qiu swam ashore, appearing again in the crowd's view.
Before he could say anything, suddenly, within the military, a soldier cried out in astonishment!
"My God, he's Ye Qiu! He's really Ye Qiu!"
"He's Demon King Ye Qiu!"
