People looked to the Fire God for help. But the more Fire God burns, the more ants there are. The god of fire also had to give up. The villagers continued stabbing buffaloes and praying to Yang. Yang called the Rain God, the Thunder God to make the flood water and blow away the yellow ants. Since then, people have lived happily ever after.
