Archive Name: Tianhai City Cloud Lake White Dragon
I. Event Background: Starting July 23, 2037, dark clouds gathered over Tianhai City, leading to abnormal weather.
Subsequent investigations revealed that the cause was a disrupted Tide Ritual by the Fishman race, which gathered a large amount of water vapor in the sky. Combined with the influence of southwest air currents, this resulted in extreme weather over Tianhai City.
This special weather was one of the primary reasons for the Cloud Lake to nurture the Dragon Soul.
II. Event Progression:
1. Rainstorm Disaster（July 24, 2037）
At noon, the sky turned dark as night, and a torrential downpour ensued, rapidly flooding low-lying areas of the city and causing severe economic losses.
2. Anomalous Phenomenon of the Dragon’s Appearance
A peculiar phenomenon appeared in the sky, described in ancient texts as “Clouds rise like a dragon’s ascent, thunder moves and wind blows; the sky darkens, the earth dims, a dragon soars in the sea of clouds.” This heralded the dragon’s appearance.
3. Theft of the Dragon Pearl
The Fishman Priest obtained power from an Alien God and, through the cloud and rain anomalies, divined Heavenly Secrets to locate the dragon. They immediately dispatched nearby Fishmen to Cloud Lake. Tianhai City’s high-level officials reacted slowly throughout the entire process, resulting in the Dragon Pearl being stolen by the Fishmen. Furthermore, this dragon, modified by the Alien Race, later caused a major disaster.
III. Records of the Dragon’s Wicked Deeds: From 2037 to 2052, the White Dragon wreaked havoc in various locations across East Sea Province, including Shuilin City, causing floods. Specific manifestations include:
“Floods Rampant”: Flooding occurred in multiple regions, with numerous aquatic Alien Races taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble.
“Frequent Disasters”: The number of natural disasters, such as landslides caused by heavy rainfall, increased, exacerbating economic losses and causing public panic.
IV. Advancement of the White Dragon’s Abilities: The dragon was cultivated by the Fishmen and infused with the power of water element deities from various mythologies, including:
The divine power of Poseidon, the Western Sea God.
The divine power of Gonggong, the Eastern Water God.
The power of Wuzhiqi, the source of ancient floods.
The power of Xiangliu, an ancient mythical beast.
V. Major Disaster Case:
“Dragon River Great Flood”: In 2048, the Alien Race plotted to unleash a great disaster by breaching several reservoirs along the Dragon River, causing a massive flood. The Ninth Administrative District was prepared for this great flood and thwarted the Alien God’s plan, yet nearly 30 million people were affected! This led to the relocation of three large base cities and major reconstruction projects.
VI. The White Dragon’s True Origin and Cultivation Method
True Origin: During the turbulent An Lushan Rebellion of the Tang Dynasty, the world underwent drastic changes, and Spiritual Energy awakened. A White Dragon was born in response to the times, originating from the Jiang River basin in Longxi Dao.
The White Dragon possessed a gentle nature, a compassionate heart, and protected the local populace. It summoned clouds and rain, ensuring bountiful harvests and shielding the people from the ravages of war. With its immense divine power, the White Dragon took human form, eradicating evil spirits from the world and safeguarding peace in the region.
Cultivation Method:
① Gather Dragon Luck to enhance the dragon’s inherent special energy, which represents the nation’s fortune.
② Perform normal cloud summoning and rainmaking to maintain ecological balance, prevent disasters, and accumulate righteous Dragon Luck.
③ Feed it dragon-attributed spiritual fruits to strengthen its True Dragon bloodline.
④ Defeat Alien Races of water and dragon attributes.

VII. Initial Hidden Location of the Dragon Pearl:
Cloud Lake, approximately 480 meters from the southern shore, at a depth of 83 meters, lies a deep pool surrounded by underwater currents.
Environmental Characteristics: The currents here are swift, forming small vortices. The sound of the water is turbulent, and with the rotation of the vortices, a low rumbling sound is emitted.
At the deepest point of the pool, there is a hidden cave. Approximately 20 meters inside the cave entrance, one can find a small pocket dimension. On a circular platform within, lies the Sea-Suppressing Pearl, nurtured by heaven and earth. This Sea-Suppressing Pearl will successfully nurture the Dragon Soul at 12:00 PM on July 24, 2037. Do not disrupt the natural order prematurely, as this will hinder the birth of the Dragon Soul.

After reading such complete information, Bai Yu clenched his fists and excitedly slapped the table.
“Good heavens! Does this mean I can ride the White Dragon tomorrow? Dragon Rider – Yin Sang!”
“Pah! It’s about raising a cute little White Dragon.”
“As expected of Purple Intelligence!”
Bai Yu tried his best to calm his emotions.
The information in this intelligence report was substantial.
Moreover, based on the information, this White Dragon was clearly on the side of good. However, it was stolen by the Fishmen, leading to various disasters!
“My goodness! If I obtain this Dragon Pearl, how incredibly would it affect my Fate?”
One positive, one negative.
two win！
I’m winning so hard!
Bai Yu didn’t dare to dwell on this thought.
Taking a deep breath, Bai Yu began to break down the important information contained within the intelligence.
“First, the Priest! This guy managed to find the location of the Dragon Pearl ahead of time. If I want to obtain the Dragon Pearl, I must be wary of the Fishmen he dispatches.”
“Second, this rainstorm is related to the Tide Ritual. Besides the competition for the Dragon Pearl, there’s also concern that the heavy rain might flood some areas of Tianhai City, allowing the Fishmen to cause trouble. This is quite tricky. There isn’t a perfect solution for this.”
“Third, the Dragon River flood! Although it’s twelve years from now, I must remember it. After all, so many people were affected! It even impacted the national fortune of the Ninth Administrative District.”
As for Poseidon, Gonggong, Xiangliu, Wuzhiqi, and scattered information like Shuilin City in East Sea Province, Bai Yu also kept them in mind.
“Tomorrow at noon.”
As he said this, Bai Yu walked to the balcony and looked at the sky outside the window.
He had a feeling that these clouds looked strange! He had thought it was the work of Alien Races, but it turned out to be the appearance of a dragon.
“Wait a minute! Could the Jumping-into-the-river case be an ancient ritual of the dragon sacrificing to the Dragon God?”
That would be quite sinister.
However, he couldn’t judge.
If that was the heavenly rule for the dragon’s descent, he couldn’t do anything about it.
The most important thing now was to obtain the Dragon Pearl!
“Sigh, the Group Leader said he’ll be back tomorrow afternoon or evening.”
“Am I going to handle this alone?”
Thinking of Liu Feifei and the other two, he felt it would be difficult to achieve anything significant!
He also had Thalassophobia, so what was the point of playing around.
He didn’t even want this Dragon Pearl anymore, let it be destroyed!
But if he were to hand over the dragon’s information to Director Yang, to the officials, he was reluctant.
Damn it!
Thus, Bai Yu fell into a dilemma.
He then looked at the information on Qing Lake and Cloud Lake.
The most distinctive features of Tianhai City were Qing Lake and Cloud Lake.
Qing Lake had better water quality, and the water near the shore was relatively shallow, suitable for novice swimmers.
Cloud Lake was more special, similar to Fuxian Lake in his previous life, with a cliff-like water level that was very close to the shore! The south bank was 30-50 meters deep, and the north bank was 40-70 meters deep.
With such a cliff-like water level, one wrong move could pull you in, like a bottomless abyss!
It was said that the deepest part of the lake reached 182 meters.
Looking down from above such a deep lake was already terrifying.
Therefore, most people in Tianhai City preferred to go to Qing Lake. However, some diving enthusiasts went to Cloud Lake, but often never returned.
Seven o’clock in the evening.
They were preparing to start their patrol for the night.
As soon as they got into the car, Liu Feifei excitedly said, “Should we find a place to have some fun tomorrow?”
Hearing this, Bai Yu’s heart stirred. This was perfect!
“How about we go diving in Cloud Lake?”
Liu Feifei was a little surprised and said, “You said this morning that you have Thalassophobia? Cloud Lake is so deep, shouldn’t we go to Qing Lake instead?”
“In an Extraordinary world, one must overcome their fears! Otherwise, won’t there be trouble in the future?”
“That’s true! Then let’s go to Cloud Lake.”
Liu Feifei simply wanted to go out and relax, so it didn’t matter where they went.
She then said to Jiang Chen and the other two, “Do you two have any objections? You can’t refuse to participate!”
Zhao Bin casually replied, “I have no objections.”
He was a tech enthusiast and didn’t like making plans.
Jiang Chen shrugged helplessly, “Alright, then let’s go diving in Cloud Lake.”
Seeing that everyone had agreed, Bai Yu rubbed his hands.
He thought to himself: I can’t just lead them into danger.
What if the Priest discovered it immediately and sent Fishmen over?
That would be too dangerous!
And this intelligence also mentioned that the heavy rain had flooded many areas.
The Fishmen would definitely be active.
Thinking of this, Bai Yu felt he should subtly reveal some information, so he said, “Um, I looked at the dark clouds in the sky today, and I have a bad feeling.”
The gazes of the three instantly focused on Bai Yu.
Liu Feifei even put her hands on her hips and said angrily, “Speak! Does this have something to do with our diving!?”
“Uh…”
Seeing the posture of the three, he realized he shouldn’t be assigning dangerous tasks during their rare holiday.
He felt a slight embarrassment.
Even Zhao Bin, a workaholic, wasn’t smiling.
