Great Xia, Qingfeng Temple.
Standing in front of the Taoist temple gate, Li Jun watched the illusory figures of immortals and gods gradually disappear in the sky, his eyes filled with complex emotions.
Just as the earth veins were raging, an invisible, gentle force descended upon him.
The force was very light and gentle, like a spring breeze brushing across the water.
But what it contained deeply shook Li Jun to his core.
As this power descended, his divine sense was guided and enveloped the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
He "saw" those phantoms that were suppressing the earth's veins.
Upon reaching the summit of Mount Tai, the phantom of the Eastern Peak Emperor was seen exerting all his strength to suppress the earth's veins, his aged face filled with exhaustion.
Upon seeing the summit of Mount Song, the phantom of the Great Emperor of the Central Peak was desperately trying to stabilize the earth, his resolute face filled with resentment.
Upon reaching the summit of Mount Hua, the phantom of the Great Emperor of the Western Peak was burning with his last strength, his majestic brows etched with regret.
I saw Hengshan Mountain and Hengshan Mountain...
I saw the Five Sacred Mountains Emperors, and the mountain gods and local deities of those famous mountains and rivers.
I saw how they gradually exhausted their strength, and how they chose to persevere even when they knew it was impossible.
An indescribable emotion welled up in Li Jun's heart.
Those illusory figures of immortals and gods are not real deities.
They are merely the culmination of the faith of countless people over thousands of years, a trace of spirituality born from the clay and wood sculptures enshrined on the altar, nourished by the fortune of humanity.
They lack complete consciousness and true wisdom.
But they chose to stand up.
They chose to sacrifice themselves to buy even a second more time for the Great Xia Dynasty.
The gentle power that fell upon him was the unreserved transmission of their insights and experiences to him by those illusory immortals before they dissipated.
They let him feel the changes in the earth's veins, taught him how to manage them, and how to minimize the damage from this calamity.
This was the last thing they could do.
It was also their final gift.
At this moment, as the phantom images of immortals and gods in the sky gradually dissipated, Li Jun felt the power that had been falling on him disappear.
The moment that power disappeared, the suppressed earth vein power began to stir again.
Like a wild beast freed from its shackles, it is ready to pounce and tear everything apart at any moment.
Li Jun fell silent.
He stood in front of the Taoist temple, looking in the direction where the lights disappeared, and remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, he cupped his hands and bowed deeply.
"This humble Taoist priest, Li Jun, respectfully sees you all off to the void."
His voice wasn't loud, but at that moment, it resonated throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
From Mohe in the far north to Zengmu Ansha in the far south.
From Fuyuan in the far east to the Pamir Plateau in the far west.
Every city, every village, every street, every house.
Everyone heard this sound.
The voice was calm, as calm as if it were saying goodbye to a friend who was going on a long journey.
But for some reason, those who heard this voice felt a strange sense of sorrow welling up inside them.
It felt like I had lost something important.
At the foot of Mount Tai, those who were urgently evacuating stopped in their tracks.
They turned back to look at the majestic mountain peak that was still trembling slightly.
They didn't know what had happened.
But they knew that something had just left.
He's gone forever.
……
Night Watch headquarters, command center.
President Qin stood in front of the large screen, listening to the echoing voice that reverberated throughout the hall, his whole body trembling slightly.
"Master Li..."
He murmured, his voice hoarse.
Behind him, everyone stopped what they were doing.
Some people had their heads down, some were biting their lips, and some had red eyes.
They all knew why those vanished illusory figures of immortals and gods had vanished.
It's for this land.
It is for the people of this land.
It's to buy them even a little more time.
And now, they are gone.
"Respectfully seeing you all off to the afterlife."
Someone, following Li Jun's voice, whispered something.
Then, more people spoke up.
"Respectfully seeing you all off to the afterlife."
"Respectfully seeing you all off to the afterlife."
The voices grew louder and louder, becoming more and more unified.
Finally, everyone in the entire command center was saying the same thing.
"Respectfully bidding you all farewell to the void!"
The sound was so uniform and synchronized that it made the hall tremble slightly.
President Qin stood there, listening to those voices, his eyes also turning a little red.
But he did not shed a tear.
Because he knew that now was not the time to shed tears.
He took a deep breath and turned around abruptly.
"What are you all standing there for?!"
His voice, like a thunderclap, resounded throughout the hall.
"Now is not the time for you to wallow in self-pity!"
"Keep working!"
"yes!"
Everyone responded in unison.
The sounds of keyboard typing, telephone ringing, and reports rang out again.
It is denser and more powerful than before.
……
The border of the Great Xia Dynasty.
The gods hidden in the shadows all held their breath at that moment.
Their gazes were simultaneously fixed on the direction of Lu County.
His eyes were filled with solemnity.
Since their arrival, they have known that there is a mysterious and powerful being in Great Xia.
Those strange phenomena, those globally shocking events, that sword that cleaved down Takamagahara—behind all of them was the shadow of that being.
But they never actually saw that being make a move.
I have never truly felt the power of that existence.
And now...
That being is finally about to reveal itself.
"Mr. Li? Master Li?"
A deity muttered to himself, his voice filled with barely suppressed dread.
"Are you finally going to reveal your true colors?"
Another deity spoke up, his voice hoarse.
"That sound just now... it actually traveled throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty..."
"And did you feel it? The moment his voice rang out, those raging ley lines were suppressed once again..."
"Just a single sentence, and it possesses such power..."
The third deity was left unsaid.
But they all knew what the second half of the sentence meant.
With just a single sentence, he was able to suppress the raging earth veins of the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
Just how powerful is that being?
Nobody knows.
No one dared to even think about it.
They simply hid in the shadows, keeping a close watch on the direction of Lu County.
waiting.
Waiting for the next move from that being.
……
at the same time.
Beyond the East Sea of the Great Xia Dynasty.
Boundless divine light came from across the sea.
The divine light was dazzling and colorful, illuminating the entire sea area.
Wherever the divine light passed, waves hundreds of feet high rose on the sea.
The waves, one after another, pressed down on the coast of Great Xia like mountains.
Within the divine light were countless figures.
Some are as tall as mountains, some are as short as dwarfs, some are as handsome as paintings, and some are as ugly as ghosts.
Their auras, powerful and violent, converged to form an overwhelming pressure.
The Cherry Blossom Gods are launching a massive attack.
Apart from the deities who remained on the four islands of Sakura to maintain their spellcasting, all the Sakura gods had come out in full force at this time.
The quantity exceeds 100,000.
Ten thousand gods.
One hundred thousand gods have recovered seventy to eighty percent of their strength.
Their breaths intertwined, causing the entire world to tremble.
The waves on the sea were getting higher and higher.
The clouds in the sky were dispersed by the aura, revealing the blood-red sky behind them.
At the very front of the procession, Amaterasu suddenly stopped.
He was dressed in a magnificent golden robe, wore a golden crown, and was surrounded by golden flames.
Those golden eyes reflected the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty.
He looked up and gazed in the direction of Lu County.
A voice just came from there.
A voice that could be heard throughout the entire Great Xia Dynasty.
"Mr. Li? Master Li?"
Amaterasu muttered to herself, a slight smile playing on her lips.
That smile held a mixture of greed, excitement, and a hint of... relief.
"You finally couldn't resist and made your move!"
He had always worried that this innate spiritual being would choose to ignore the disaster of Great Xia and flee far away.
If that happens, even if they occupy Great Xia, they will be hated by such a being, and their future will be filled with endless turmoil.
After all, if the other party escapes, they will definitely become a major threat in the future.
but now……
The other party made their move.
They chose to stay.
"Since you've made your move now, your fate is already sealed."
Amaterasu said softly.
He knew that this Master Li was very powerful.
The innate spirituality takes form, the three flowers of nature gather together, and the five elements are in perfect harmony.
No cultivation is needed; one can naturally attain the Golden Immortal status simply by waiting for the spiritual tide of heaven and earth to reach its peak.
That's a level that even He couldn't reach in His prime.
Having only recovered seventy or eighty percent of his strength and regained the magical power of a Xuanxian, he would never be a match for his opponent in a one-on-one fight.
but……
Now it's the other side that needs to fight alone.
He is divine, possessing ten thousand gods.
One hundred thousand gods have recovered seventy to eighty percent of their strength.
This power is enough to crush everything.
Moreover, they also triggered the revival of the earth veins of Great Xia.
In order to stabilize the earth's veins, Li Jun's strength will inevitably be reduced by a factor.
With one side gaining and the other losing, and considering all the comparisons...
At this moment, Amaterasu had only one thought in her mind—
With the advantage in our hands, how could we possibly lose?
With that thought, Amaterasu waved her arm.
"keep going."
His voice was calm and majestic.
Those who stubbornly resist are not worth worrying about.
The gods who had been startled and uncertain because of the voice just now felt reassured after hearing Amaterasu's words.
"The Great Royal God is enlightened!"
They shouted in unison and then continued their journey toward the coast of Bactria.
The speed is faster than before.
Its aura was even stronger than before.
……
Outside Qingfeng Pavilion.
Li Jun looked at the sky, feeling the earth's vein power still roaring beneath his feet, and pursed his lips.
The method, which has been verified by the phantoms of the immortals and gods, can greatly reduce the damage to the earth's vein power.
But... it wasn't without destruction.
Li Jun recalled the scenes he had witnessed when he used his divine sense to observe the earth's veins.
The houses collapsed in the earthquake, and bricks and rubble fell, raising clouds of dust.
The buildings crumbled as the ground cracked, revealing shocking fissures in the walls.
Those who were urgently evacuated wept and despaired in the open.
The old man held his grandson, his face filled with fear.
The mother shielded her child, her eyes filled with fear.
The young man helped the wounded, his face showing relief at surviving the ordeal, but even more so, uncertainty about the future.
Scene after scene, incident after incident.
Everything flashed before Li Jun's eyes.
His gaze gradually hardened.
Having been called an expert for so long, today I'll truly be one.
"Rest assured, everyone."
Li Jun suppressed his thoughts, closed his eyes, and whispered.
"Leave the rest to me."
The voice just fell.
He felt a weight on his shoulder.
It's an invisible weight.
It felt as if the entire earth veins of the Great Xia Dynasty were pressing down on his shoulders.
Very heavy.
The weight was so great that his feet crushed the bluestone slab beneath him, sinking half an inch into it.
The weight reached his waist, causing him to bend slightly.
But Li Jun did not fall.
He stood there, bearing that weight.
a bit.
Two times.
Three times.
His breathing gradually became steady.
His body gradually adapted.
Then, he opened his eyes.
There was only calm in those eyes.
"Master."
Just then, Xiao Lingxi's voice came from behind.
Li Jun turned around.
Little Lingxi stood at the door, her little face tilted up, her golden eyes filled with worry.
Although she was young, she could sense that the aura emanating from her master was different from before.
It was a heavy feeling in her heart.
"Master, what's going on outside?"
Her voice was soft and sweet, tinged with unease.
Li Jun bent down, reached out, and rubbed her little head.
The movements were very light and gentle.
"fine."
He said it calmly.
"Master has to go out to take care of some business, he'll be back soon."
Xiao Lingxi looked at him, at the smile on his face.
Then, she nodded obediently.
"Master, be careful."
Li Jun smiled and straightened up.
Then, he looked at the old Taoist priest who was wearing a robe.
The old Taoist priest stood at the door, holding a stick he used as a walking stick.
He looked at Li Jun with worry and reluctance in his eyes, but even more so with pride.
His apprentice is going to protect this land.
Just like his master.
Although he knew that this trip might be dangerous.
But he did not stop him.
Because he knew it was his apprentice's choice.
"Master, I'm leaving."
Li Jun said.
The old Taoist priest nodded.
He didn't say anything more.
He simply said, "Be careful."
Just like every time Li Jun came down the mountain.
A very simple sentence.
But Li Jun could tell how much was contained in those words.
He smiled.
"Understood, Master."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out of the Taoist temple.
We walked down the mountain step by step along the bluestone steps.
The pace was neither too fast nor too slow.
But every step takes a long way.
One step covers ten zhang (approximately 33 meters).
One step can cover a hundred feet.
His figure quickly disappeared at the end of the mountain road.
The old Taoist priest stood in the courtyard, watching his disciple's figure disappear, and remained silent for a long time.
Then, he turned around, took Xiao Lingxi's hand, and walked back into the house.
"Let's go, little girl."
His voice was somewhat hoarse.
"Grandpa will tell you a story about a little Taoist priest who went to fight the bad guys."
Little Lingxi nodded obediently and followed the old Taoist priest into the house.
As she reached the door, she suddenly turned back and glanced back.
There was nothing outside the door.
Only sparse moonlight spilled onto the bluestone pavement, creating dappled patterns.
But she knew what her master had gone to do.
Master has gone to protect this land.
Just like those heroic uncles.
Just like those illusory images of immortals and gods that have just vanished.
Xiao Lingxi withdrew her gaze and followed the old Taoist priest into the house.
The door closed.
The courtyard returned to silence.
Only that gourd vine was still swaying gently in the wind.
On the vines, you can vaguely see a few small flower buds.
Under the moonlight, it gleamed with a faint golden light.
