Five hundred years have passed, and this world has changed dramatically.
After the floods receded, the land underwent a transformation. Fertile soil did not emerge; instead, it turned into many bottomless and treacherous swamps. The land was no longer suitable for human habitation.
Humanity established new cities in the former world on water, or more accurately, founded a new empire.
The descendants of Qu Fengbai and Zhou Chaoyang became the rulers of the Empire, continuing for generations until now.
Humanity was also divided into different social classes.
Those at the lowest level had no right to live in the water world; they could only live below the Water God Empire, surrounded by dangerous swamps. The living conditions were extremely harsh; besides the damp living quarters, they also had to face occasional invasions of toxic mist.
