Chapter 248 8 Hong 1 Yu, The Poisonous Scheme of the Cherry Blossom Gods
The land of cherry blossoms.
The cracks in the sky are no longer isolated fissures, but have completely merged into one.
The entire sky resembled a shattered piece of glass, with countless cracks stretching from the eastern sea level to the western mountains. Crimson light poured out from every crack, staining the entire land the color of blood.
The number of gods who emerged from the cracks has exceeded one hundred thousand.
They floated in the sky, surrounded by various colors of light, some as bright as the sun, some as deep as the moon, some as violent as thunder, and some as cold as ice.
The auras of 100,000 gods intertwined, forming an overwhelming pressure that made the entire world tremble.
The land below had been completely turned into a dead zone.
Those once bustling cities are now deserted.
The streets were littered with scattered clothes and piles of dust.
Those specks of dust are the remains of people who were once alive.
It represents tens of millions of lives.
The wind blew through the ruins, stirring up the dust that drifted through the air.
It sounded like countless souls were weeping.
Rumble!
At that moment, the glass-like sky shattered completely, and an invisible wave swept out, engulfing the entire Cherry Blossom Country.
Those dead-end cities and lands began to merge with a desolate ruin.
The earth trembled, the mountains shook, and the ocean roared.
Ancient palace ruins began to appear in places that were once cities.
Where the fields once stood, withered sacred trees began to appear.
Where there were once rivers, dried-up springs began to appear.
The entire land of cherry blossoms is being assimilated by Takamagahara.
Takamagahara is no longer a world separate from the present world, but has been integrated with the four islands of Sakura, like two broken puzzle pieces forcibly pieced together by some force.
From then on, Takamagahara became the land of cherry blossoms, and the land of cherry blossoms became Takamagahara.
The gods that had been floating in the sky fell down one by one.
They stood on the ruins of Takamagahara, on the ruins of the land of cherry blossoms, feeling the newly integrated land.
"The spiritual energy... is still too thin."
A tall deity spoke, his voice like thunder.
He was dressed in ancient armor, wielding a huge katana, and surrounded by lightning.
Takemikazuchi.
The legendary god of thunder, the god of swords, and the god of war.
He looked down at the earth, a hint of dissatisfaction flashing in his cold eyes.
"The power gained from blood sacrifice can only last for a short time."
Another deity spoke.
He wore a long, silver-white robe, had a handsome face, cold eyes, and was surrounded by silver moonlight.
It is the Tsukuyomi destiny.
He stood beside Takemikazuchi, looking at the ruins, his brows slightly furrowed.
"We need more strength."
A chubby figure spoke.
He held a small mallet in his hand and had a smile on his face, but the smile looked fake no matter how you looked at it.
Great Nation's Supreme God.
"Great Xia".
A giant man, whose body was as if cast in iron, spoke.
He stood there like a small mountain, his muscles bulging, brimming with explosive power.
Amaterasu is a male god.
"Only the humane spirit and fortune of Great Xia can allow us to truly recover."
A slender deity spoke.
His face was kind, but his eyes were so deep they seemed to see through everything.
Thought and spirit.
They looked westward.
That's the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty.
There, they found what they desired.
Just then, a golden light descended from the sky.
The light was dazzling, like the sun falling to earth.
A woman slowly emerged from the light.
He was a hundred feet tall, dressed in a magnificent golden robe, wearing a golden crown, and had a majestic face.
His eyes were golden, and deep within his pupils seemed to burn two suns.
His aura was so powerful that it caused the surrounding air to burn and space to distort.
Amaterasu.
She is the head of the three noble gods of Takamagahara, the sun goddess, and the ruler of Takamagahara.
The moment He appeared in the sky, the entire world was ablaze.
Golden flames erupted from His body, igniting the sky, the earth, and everything.
The crimson light evaporated instantly before the golden flames.
The scattered dust turned to nothingness before the golden flames.
The gods who descended bowed their heads before Him.
"Omikami!"
The gods shouted in unison.
The sound shook the heavens and earth.
Amaterasu stood in mid-air, her gaze fixed on the west.
That's the direction of the Great Xia Dynasty.
There, He found what He desired.
"It will be soon."
Amaterasu thought to herself, then withdrew her gaze.
He looked down at the ruins on the ground.
The merging of Takamagahara and the four Sakura Islands has left traces of destruction visible everywhere on the land.
Amidst the ruins, one place stands out starkly.
It was an area shrouded in golden divine power, with a tower at its center.
Its name is Hachikō Ichiyū Pagoda.
Amaterasu took a step forward and instantly appeared in front of the tower.
He hovered before the tower, a complex light flashing in his golden eyes.
Tsukuyomi and Takemikazuchi, among others, also descended before the tower.
At that moment, seeing Amaterasu standing silently before the tower, the god of heaven stepped forward and asked in a deep, gruff voice:
"Great God, when shall we make our move?"
He paused, then continued, "The power brought by the blood sacrifice only restored us to about 70-80% of our peak strength, and it won't last long."
"We should seize the time and conquer the Great Xia as soon as possible."
Amaterasu turned around and gave Him a cold look.
"No rush."
His voice was calm, but carried an undeniable authority.
"Let's cause some trouble for Great Xia first, and test the waters."
As she spoke, Amaterasu pointed to the tower in front of her.
"I learned from the memories of that pitiful human that this tower was built on the foundation of famous mountains and rare stones plundered from the Great Xia."
"Those famous mountains and strange rocks all carry a portion of the Great Xia's fortune."
Amaterasu paused, a cold glint flashing in her golden eyes.
"The earth's veins are gradually recovering, but the recovery is happening too slowly."
"Only a stable enough earth can bear our glory."
"Today, we will use these famous mountains and strange rocks as a medium to accelerate the recovery of the earth's veins in the Great Xia."
Upon hearing this, Tsukuyomi and the others seemed to be deep in thought.
Shiken hesitated for a moment before speaking, "Great God, doing this will inevitably trigger a massive upheaval that will sweep across the entire Great Xia. Even if we succeed, all we will get is ruins."
"Isn't this perfect?"
Amaterasu countered with a question.
"Only by making them experience despair, only by breaking their spines, can we better rule that land."
He paused, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
"Besides..."
"If there are truly hidden immortals and gods in the Great Xia Dynasty, they would not sit idly by and watch this situation happen."
"This will force them out."
After listening to the explanation, Si Jianshen had no more doubts.
He bowed deeply and proclaimed loudly, "Great Holy One!"
The other gods also joined in, shouting, "Great Emperor, you are divine!"
Amaterasu nodded in satisfaction.
He turned and looked at the eight-sided tower.
"Let's begin."
……
The gods of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom acted swiftly.
Taishan stone, Huashan stone, Songshan stone, Hengshan stone, Hengshan stone...
The famous mountains and strange rocks plundered from the Great Xia were taken out of the Eight-Colored Tower and placed in various parts of the Cherry Blossom Country, arranged according to some ancient formation.
Then, the gods began to cast their spells.
Using these famous mountains and strange rocks as a medium, and at the cost of consuming the land veins of the Cherry Blossom Kingdom, they forcibly accelerated the recovery speed of the land veins of the Great Xia.
The moment the spell began, the entire Cherry Blossom Kingdom trembled.
The earth is cracking, the mountains are collapsing, and the ocean is roaring.
Those cities, which had become dead zones after being sacrificed, were reduced to ruins amidst the violent tremors.
But the cherry blossom gods didn't care.
They only cared about what would happen on the Great Xia side.
……
at the same time.
Daxia, Lu County.
Qingfeng Temple.
Li Jun, dressed in a blue Taoist robe, stood in the courtyard.
This was one of the outfits he rarely wore; it was made of light blue fabric with a simple pattern, and it made him look exceptionally smart.
The old Taoist priest stood in front of him and helped him straighten his collar.
"Jun'er".
The old Taoist priest spoke, his voice somewhat hoarse.
"be safe."
Li Jun nodded.
"Don't worry, Master, I'm just going to take a look."
The old Taoist priest looked at him and remained silent for a few seconds.
Then, I laughed.
"Go."
He said.
"The old Taoist priest is here waiting for you to return."
Li Jun looked at his master, at that wrinkled face, at those cloudy eyes, and a strange emotion welled up inside him.
Little Lingxi chimed in, "Master, Lingxi is waiting for you to come home."
Li Jun nodded and patted Xiao Lingxi's head.
"Okay, wait for me to come back."
He turned and walked out.
But just as he reached the door, he suddenly stopped and looked up at the sky.
Something is changing in the sky.
A spiritual energy is surging.
The earth was trembling.
In the distance, a rumbling sound could be faintly heard.
That wasn't thunder.
It is the earth groaning.
Li Jun's brows furrowed slightly.
