I was the Heavenly Emperor in ancient times

Chapter 99 Mount Buzhou Collapses

A sea of ​​clouds and a vast sky.

On the phoenix chariot, a bluebird pierced through the sea of ​​clouds and landed beside the Queen Mother of the West.

At this moment, the bluebird's double pupils appeared, and Li Jun's voice came from the bluebird's body, transmitting to the Queen Mother of the West.

"I'd better go!"

"With the power of the demon god Qingniao, if Nüba and Xuan Nu refuse to submit, I can capture them instantly."

"Moreover, with Chisongzi leading the way, the bluebird can fly even faster with a flap of its wings."

Li Jun was still used to handling things himself, or rather, he wasn't used to being a Heavenly Emperor.

The Queen Mother of the West still said, "Your Majesty, let me go!"

Li Jun asked, somewhat puzzled, "Why?"

Perhaps, from Li Jun's perspective, it was just a matter of making a move, and it wouldn't make much difference who went.

However, at this moment, the Queen Mother of the West seemed particularly persistent.

The Queen Mother of the West said, "If subduing the Nüba Kingdom requires the intervention of the Heavenly Emperor and the demon god Qingniao, then what is the point of my journey here from afar?"

Li Jun could tell that the Queen Mother of the West was very arrogant, but she deliberately restrained herself in front of him.

However, no matter how much she tried to restrain herself, she was still the Queen Mother of the West.

Finally, the Queen Mother of the West said.

"Leave the rest to me, Your Majesty. Please return without worry. Besides, the Azure Bird will be stationed in the Heavenly Realm."

Without the protection of the Bluebird, the Queen Mother of the West was still somewhat worried that someone might attack the Heavenly Realm, since this was the time when the Heavenly Realm and the capital of the Emperor were at their most vulnerable.

In a way, the two of them are the same type.

On the one hand, she is very confident in herself, but on the other hand, she is not at ease with the other person.

And it is precisely because of this that their confidence and distrust of the other person can lead to such a situation.

Li Jun understood, and this time he didn't insist anymore.

He said, "Okay!"

He could also see that from the moment he sent the Bluebird to accompany the Queen Mother of the West, it made her feel uncomfortable, which was a kind of distrust of the Queen Mother of the West's abilities.

So Li Jun opened a golden gap in the sky, and the bluebird flew back to the heavens.

When there are no peach witches or peach trees, you need to fly there, but returning is much easier.

but.

On her royal carriage, when she saw the bluebird depart, the Queen Mother of the West suddenly stood up again.

His expression shifted between frustration, sadness, and worry, constantly changing.

After saying those words, the Queen Mother of the West felt a little regretful, wondering if her attitude had been a bit too harsh.

To argue with the Emperor in this way, or perhaps it could not be called an argument, was still quite inappropriate in the eyes of the Queen Mother of the West.

"Will the Emperor be angry?"

Why did I say that just now?

"It should have been said more tactfully."

The anxiety and fear of loss are unlike those of the Queen Mother of the West.

But just now, what the Emperor said really underestimated her. She had been the Queen Mother of the West for over a hundred years. When the Emperor was not around, she was the deity of the human world in this northwestern wilderness.

Finally, she spoke to the maid beside her.

"Let's go to the Kingdom of Nuwa!"

"Let all the shamans of the Rain Master Kingdom clear the way ahead."

So, the Queen Mother of the West took away everything in the Rain Master Kingdom and summoned away all the shamans of the Rain Master Kingdom.

They continued their journey towards the Kingdom of Nuba in a grand and imposing manner.

The Queen Mother of the West frowned, seemingly preparing to use the power of thunder to wipe out Nüba and Xuan Nu, bind them up, and send them to the Heavenly Realm.

skyline.

The bluebird returned, and Li Jun watched it fly past the palace.

It circled twice, then disappeared into the high branches of the peach tree, from which it could no longer be seen.

Meanwhile, Li Jun also began to ponder what had just happened, a rare occurrence for him.

How should I get along with others?

The establishment of the Heavenly Court was different from some of the problems he had encountered before. Back then, Li Jun drew his sword and looked around, seeing everyone as a nail, and decided to go up and hammer them a few times before making any decisions.

There are still some differences between the two.

Just as Li Jun was pondering deeply about how to continue this "partnership" with the Heavenly Court,

below.

Unrest broke out in the mortal realm and the capital city of the emperor, and when that unrest was reflected in the celestial realm, it took on a different state.

It means the bells of heaven have been rung.

"Boom!"

The sound of the bell instantly resounded throughout the nine heavens, even startling Li Jun, who resided in the Imperial Palace of the Ninth Heaven.

Although the bell in the distance only rang once, the other palace servants around Li Jun stood up, their expressions changing as they looked outside repeatedly, but dared not whisper, for fear of disturbing the Heavenly Emperor who was deep in thought.

However, Li Jun had already been awakened. Having been emperor and empress for some time, he understood that the sound of the bell meant that something had happened below, but one ring of the bell meant that it shouldn't be anything too big.

Li Jun summoned a strongman guarding the Heavenly Gate and then asked him a question.

"So what happened?"

The other party said, "A dragon flew over the capital and caused a disturbance."

Li Jun said, "Just take it away, why ring the heavenly bell?"

In the past, it wasn't uncommon for divine birds and strange beasts to fly to Kunlun. Although Kunlun had barriers and sacrificial artifacts to drive away and suppress these strange creatures, there were always some bizarre and supernatural things that would break in.

There are many demons and gods in the Great Wilderness, and some of them possess supernatural powers that are beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

The other party replied, "No one can stop it; that dragon is no ordinary dragon."

Hearing this, Li Jun became interested.

Question: "What kind of dragon is that?"

Although the other party was a guardian of the Heavenly Gate, he was also a well-known figure in the mortal realm and was quite knowledgeable.

He said, "It must be the transformation of a great shaman of the Yinglong clan. It has two wings on its back, its whole body is golden, and its length is unknown. It is truly extraordinary..."

As Li Jun listened to him, he also used the power of the Demon God Peach Tree to look down at the mortal realm.

His gaze pierced through layers of sky and through layers of clouds.

Then I saw the scene of the capital city under the emperor.

Throughout the land, panic gripped cities and remote settlements; some beat drums and gongs, while others tried to maintain order.

Some activated the protective barrier, while others led their clansmen into a defensive posture, ready for battle.

Meanwhile, many others flew into the sky, chasing after the figures in the sky, or rather, driving them away.

Li Jun looked up into the clouds.

Floating above the sea of ​​clouds is a golden dragon with two wings. Its body twists and turns among the layers of clouds, constantly changing angles and wandering through layer after layer of clouds.

The sea of ​​clouds seemed to resemble towers, churning and tumbling within them.

"Get him out!"

"Stop him!"

"Quick, quick, I see his head."

One by one, the shamans chased after the other, panting heavily. Even the great shaman who summoned ghosts and gods could not subdue him.

One after another, special sacrificial artifacts were thrown at the pterosaur, but it didn't care at all and even withstood the power of the artifacts.

It seems.

This golden, two-winged dragon was clearly playing and teasing the witches who were chasing it.

To be honest, Li Jun was also a little surprised when he saw the dragon.

because.

The other party was simply too big.

At first glance, it seems as if the dragon's body stretches endlessly through the sea of ​​clouds, occasionally rising from the clouds.

But looking further into the distance, you can see that there is still more in the distance, and you can't see the end at all.

This dragon's body was at least tens of miles long.

The two-winged golden dragon kept flying, harassing those who were chasing him, pushing them away, and waiting for them to get closer, enjoying the process immensely.

After watching for a while, Li Jun realized that the dragon didn't seem to have come with any ill intentions. Although it had toyed with these people, it hadn't harmed them.

However, since he has come to Kunlun and the capital of the emperor, he must have some purpose.

Moreover, Li Jun also confirmed the other party's identity.

He was a great shaman from the Yinglong clan of the Eastern Wilderness. When he was a human or before he became the ruler of the clan and the Mountain and Sea Kingdom, he should have had another name.

However, once he reached this position, this great shaman was also called Yinglong, and his original name became insignificant.

Li Jun thought to himself, "He must have come for the Heavenly Realm, or even for him."

At this moment, Li Jun's voice came down from the ninth heaven.

He said to the dragon, "Since you've come, then come on up!"

The dragon raised its head, which had long whiskers, and looked up at the sky, revealing its form amidst the sea of ​​clouds.

He asked, "Who are you? Who is speaking?"

Li Jun's voice boomed from all directions of the sea of ​​clouds: "Didn't you come looking for me?"

Yinglong poked his head out and said, "I didn't say anything, how did you know I came looking for you?"

Li Jun finally told him, "I am the Emperor."

Yinglong laughed loudly after hearing this: "Hahahaha, I've heard that the Emperor can speak, just like us humans. I never thought it was true."

Yinglong wasn't mocking him; he was genuinely astonished, as if he had witnessed something utterly unbelievable.

A being who looks exactly like a human, whose speech and behavior are no different from a human's, yet no one believes he is human.

A two-winged golden dragon, whose length was unknown, declared itself to be human, speaking with an air of self-righteousness.

Yinglong accepted the invitation, saying, "However, I haven't seen what the real Emperor looks like yet, so I can't be sure that the person speaking is the Emperor. I still need to go up and take a look."

He did not deny that he had come to see the Heavenly Emperor.

Li Jun said, "Then come up here!"

After he finished speaking, he opened a gap, revealing the gate to the heavens.

The golden dragon with two wings raised its head and saw layers of golden light surging in the sky, revealing the nine heavenly palaces behind it, as well as the nine layers of Zengcheng.

When Yinglong saw this, even his dragon eyes showed surprise.

"Good means."

"What incredible supernatural power! Is that the legendary Heavenly Emperor's Divine Tree?"

"How did they manage to build such a large place in the sky?"

Yinglong found it very novel, but it did not back down and immediately flapped its wings and flew up to a higher place.

To be honest, this was rather reckless.

If Li Jun harbored ill intentions, he could immediately seal the Heavenly Gate, trapping Yinglong inside.

At this moment.

The long dragon body of Yinglong rushed in through the gate of the Heavenly Realm, causing a lot of trouble for the divine generals and warriors guarding the Heavenly Gate.

Its size was so long that it took a very long time to pass through the gate, accompanied by a constant barrage of strong winds.

The wind blew so hard that the divine generals and warriors in front of the Heavenly Gate couldn't open their eyes, and they all staggered and fell.

The mortals of the capital city were all dumbfounded as they watched Yinglong's body surge into the celestial realm like a great river.

This is the first level of heaven.

After that, the second and third heavens.

The beings residing in the heavens also witnessed Yinglong's body, pointing and whispering among themselves, recognizing the origin of this special being.

"The Yinglong Clan!"

"How did he end up in the Heavenly Realm?"

"He was invited by the Heavenly Emperor."

"Does this mean they also want to submit to my Heavenly Court?"

"Isn't he in the Eastern Wilderness? That's way too far from here. What is he doing coming all this way?"

Finally, Yinglong flew over layer after layer of heaven and finally arrived at the Ninth Heaven.

However, after reaching the ninth level, Yinglong no longer dared to act recklessly.

Or perhaps he also knows some etiquette.

It finally transformed into human form and landed at the bottom, where it was led by two palace maids and a winged commoner towards the imperial palace.

The palace built by the Queen Mother of the West was no different from the celestial palace in mythology, and the people and supplies she arranged there made Li Jun seem no different from the Heavenly Emperor in mythology.

Li Jun sat on the imperial throne, watching Yinglong walk through the palace gate and look up at him.

Li Jun was also looking at him. He was an incredibly strong man, who looked to be in his thirties or forties, but the wrinkles on his face and his dragon-like face made him look like he was in his fifties or sixties.

However, regardless of anything else, his temperament reveals a rugged and genuine wildness, making it clear that he is a person who doesn't care about details.

Yinglong came to Li Jun's side.

He even walked directly to the bottom of the golden steps, raising his head high to look at Li Jun, as if this would allow him to see him more clearly.

He looked at Li Jun without saying anything at first, but kept looking him up and down, sizing him up and down, while pacing back and forth on the golden steps.

Yinglong finally spoke: "You are indeed not human."

Li Jun asked him, "Then what do you think I am?"

Yinglong said, "You speak like a human. I don't know what you are. I heard that the intestines of Nuwa in the Western Regions gave birth to ten gods, each of whom possesses intelligence just like ordinary people."

"However, Yinglong has never seen it, and it is only a ghost or spirit, not a demon god."

"This is the first time I've seen someone like you, possessing a body governed by the laws of heaven and earth, and still able to retain intelligence like a human."

Li Jun said, "If I were to grant you such power, would your Yinglong clan be willing to submit to the Heavenly Court?"

Yinglong laughed loudly: "Hahahaha, you want to subdue me?"

Li Jun said, "Is that not allowed?"

Yinglong appeared somewhat arrogant. This great shaman from the East was completely different from the shamans and humans of the Western Wilderness. He did not have much reverence for the Queen Mother of the West, nor for the Emperor.

The burly man with the dragon face below said, "Although you are an emperor, if you want to be the Heavenly Emperor of this Great Wilderness and all people, I have to see if you are qualified."

As soon as Yinglong said this, he saw everyone in the Imperial Palace looking at him with anger.

They were just waiting for the Heavenly Emperor's order to capture this dragon who dared to speak so disrespectfully.

Li Jun asked him, "Oh, what qualifications are needed to become the Heavenly Emperor?"

Yinglong said matter-of-factly, "Of course it depends on what you have done for the entire Great Wilderness and what you have done for the human race. You may have made contributions in the Western Wilderness and the Northern Wilderness, but the Four Seas and Eight Wildernesses are not limited to the Western Wilderness and the Northern Wilderness."

"In my opinion, this is not enough to become the Heavenly Emperor of the entire Great Wilderness."

Within the imperial palace.

The others glared at him with increasing anger, some even reaching for the sacrificial artifacts in their robes or at their waists, but when they looked at the Heavenly Emperor's face, he still showed no intention of doing anything to Yinglong.

Li Jun looked at Ying Long and felt that this person was somewhat interesting.

Although his words were rude, they were reasonable and well-founded, and he was not simply there to cause trouble.

Having the courage to speak and being able to articulate the reasoning behind it is not something a simple brute can do.

Li Jun then asked him, "What must one do to achieve a truly great feat and be worthy of being the Heavenly Emperor?"

Yinglong: "That's why I came to ask you."

The voice of the burly man, transformed from Yinglong, was like thunder, echoing throughout the imperial palace.

"You're the one who wants to be the Heavenly Emperor, not the other way around."

"Of course, you should be the one to say it."

Talk about it.

This was the first time Li Jun had been questioned about whether he was qualified to be the Heavenly Emperor.

Whether it was before or with the Queen Mother of the West, whenever Li Jun appeared, it was as if the Heavenly Emperor was rightfully his.

At this moment, Li Jun began to recount what he had said to the Queen Mother of the West before.

Finally, he said.

"I will refine all the demons and gods of the four seas and eight wastelands, and fuse all the laws of the Great Dao into one, which will be governed by the Heavenly Court."

"To completely end the current chaotic situation in the Great Wilderness."

After hearing about the Heavenly Court and the Heavenly Emperor, Yinglong inquired about them and then rushed here.

However, what is widely circulated outside is mainly the myth of the Heavenly Emperor, as well as rumors about achieving immortality by ascending to the Heavenly Court.

Regarding what Li Jun is going to do, at least for now, very little is known to the outside world.

Therefore, when Yinglong heard what Li Jun was going to do, this burly man with a dragon-like face became very serious, staring wide-eyed and not holding back his exaggerated facial expressions.

"what?"

"You're going to do something like this?"

"This is a momentous event that will change the world. If it can be accomplished, it will be the greatest achievement in the world, and the person in charge will certainly be worthy of being the Heavenly Emperor."

Yinglong's expression was completely genuine; he was genuinely surprised and utterly shocked that Li Jun would have such an idea.

However, he later expressed his doubts.

"Can this really be done?"

Li Jun's voice came from the imperial throne high above: "Isn't that exactly what we're doing?"

Yinglong: "Us?"

Li Jun said, "It is me, the Queen Mother of the West, and all the gods in the entire Heavenly Court."

Yinglong laughed heartily: "I thought you considered this Heavenly Court to be yours alone, but I didn't expect you to have such thoughts."

"You're not bad as the Heavenly Emperor, but I've only heard about you from you, I haven't seen you do it yet, so..."

Yinglong hadn't finished speaking when he suddenly stopped.

"what?"

"what happened?"

Yinglong suddenly turned around, took a few steps back, and looked out of the main hall. Or rather, he looked out of the celestial realm.

Although Yinglong resides in the celestial realm, the demon god worshipped by his clan resides in the mortal world.

When significant changes occur in the human world, he can naturally sense them through the demon god.

Before their conversation was over, an even bigger commotion erupted in the human world.

Yinglong raised his head and looked at the Emperor: "Your Majesty, did you hear that?"

Li Jun: "It came from the human world."

A loud bang echoed through the world.
To be precise, it didn't sound like a sound, because it was so loud that ordinary people couldn't hear it at all, just like the legendary "great sound is silent".

But the commotion came from the center of the Great Wilderness and instantly spread throughout the entire land.

It is even continuing to spread to even more distant places.

Following the four poles and eight pillars, it descends to the lower level.

Li Jun used his supernatural powers to look down at the human world. He heard the voice, but he did not find anything unusual about the human world.

"The center of the Great Wilderness?"

Yinglong suddenly remembered something and said.

"When I came from the Eastern Wilderness, I found that Zhu Rong and Gong Gong were engaged in a great battle. The two even borrowed the power of the demon god and fought fiercely at the foot of Buzhou Mountain."

“The floodwaters at the foot of Mount Buzhou were so high that the sky turned red.”

"Could it be related to this matter?"

From his vantage point, Li Jun blurted out his opinion upon hearing Ying Long's words.

"Could it be that Mount Buzhou collapsed?"

Yinglong was stunned for a moment after hearing this, because no one would have thought of such a thing.

Did they knock down Mount Buzhou?
How can this be?

The Emperor's words seemed like a joke at this moment, but because of his status, they did not sound like a joke. Instead, they sounded like a perception of heaven and earth and all things.

Yinglong raised his head and looked at the seemingly ordinary figure high up.

"Does he know everything that's happening in the entire Great Wilderness just by sitting here?"

When Yinglong recalled the huge commotion that had just occurred, he could no longer sit still.

He said, "If Mount Buzhou really did collapse, then something terrible is going to happen."

Li Jun asked Yinglong, "Why?"

He still didn't know the concept and meaning that Buzhou Mountain represented, or rather, he didn't understand the existence of Buzhou Mountain itself.

However, Yinglong was very clear about the significance of Mount Buzhou, and he explained it to the Heavenly Emperor.

“Mount Buzhou itself is also a demon god, but it usually doesn’t move and its power is mostly suppressed because it supports a part of the entire Great Wilderness.”

"It is precisely because of Mount Buzhou that even though Nuwa's intestines raised the Great Wilderness ten thousand feet, the Great Wilderness has been able to maintain its current state." "If Mount Buzhou were to collapse, the current balance would be completely broken, which would truly affect the entire Great Wilderness."

After saying this, Yinglong hurriedly took his leave and headed downwards.

He was eager to go and see Buzhou Mountain.

Let's see what's going on there.

Yinglong came and went like the wind. He must have come with something in mind, but now that the incident at Buzhou Mountain has happened, he has been so anxious that he has almost forgotten about it.

This also seems to reveal some of his personality traits.

The imperial palace in the ninth heaven.

Li Jun frowned upon hearing the news.

"Mount Buzhou collapsed?"

"Gonggong?"

"Zhurong clan?"

Mount Buzhou collapsed.

This is a very important and pivotal moment in mythology, marking a turning point.

Even in mythology, countless gods are involved.

Thinking about this, Li Jun felt that he should probably go and see what was happening at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Although when the Queen Mother of the West was alive, she always said that the Heavenly Emperor should not leave the Heavenly Realm lightly, as the entire Heavenly Court could not do without him.

However, this matter cannot be described as a light separation.

Think of this.

Li Jun then headed down to the heavens, transforming into a beam of light and descending from the heavens. The Queen Mother of the West was not there, so naturally no one dared to stop him.

In the nine heavens, everyone who witnessed this scene knelt on the ground and shouted.

"The Emperor has descended from the Heavenly Palace!"

"emperor……"

However, no one dared to stop Li Jun.

However, someone quickly managed to spread the news of Li Jun's departure from the Heavenly Realm to the Queen Mother of the West.

In the blink of an eye, Li Jun descended from the heavens and then vanished above the golden sea of ​​clouds.

Soon, he saw the golden, two-winged dragon that stretched for who knows how many miles.

Above the clouds, Yinglong also "saw" him.

The enormous Yinglong body couldn't possibly turn around under normal circumstances, but upon realizing that Li Jun had followed, its body instantly dissipated and reappeared like light, or perhaps overlapped like a phantom.

The enormous head emerged from the high sea of ​​clouds, instantly traversing a distance of tens or even hundreds of miles, and appeared on the other side.

The sun is to the side.

The sea of ​​clouds is as large as a mountain.

The endless body was hidden deep within, its enormous head like a small mountain, its dragon eyes like stars, revealing a figure that was only the size of a black dot.
Yinglong made a sound, like a thunderous roar.

"Your Majesty, why have you come down here as well?"

It sounded different from what the humanoid pterosaur had said before, but the tone was similar.

Looking at the dragon's eye, Li Jun felt it was like a giant convex mirror, reflecting himself, the sea of ​​clouds, the sky, and the earth.

"If Mount Buzhou really has collapsed, I will naturally go and take a look, and maybe I can do something about it."

Yinglong suddenly burst into laughter, looking quite pleased with himself.

"It seems that the Heavenly Emperor also cares about the rise and fall of the human world, and the life and death of all living beings!"

Then, Yinglong lowered his head and spoke to Li Jun.

"Heavenly Emperor, come up!"

The once unruly Yinglong was now willing to become Li Jun's mount, letting Li Jun sit on its head.

Seeing this, Li Jun didn't stand on ceremony and sat cross-legged between Yinglong's two horns, while Yinglong carried Li Jun all the way towards Buzhou Mountain.

As we traversed mountains and seas.

As they descended from the high ground of the Northern Wilderness, the scene that Li Jun and Ying Long saw became increasingly strange.

They immediately saw the terrible situation and tragic state of affairs at the foot of Mount Buzhou.

At first, Yinglong would talk to Li Jun cheerfully, but later he fell silent.

Until the foot of Mount Buzhou.

Yinglong's long body coiled in the sky, its head looking into the distance.

"Mount Buzhou has really collapsed."

The scene at the foot of Buzhou Mountain was extremely tragic.

The enormous "pillar of heaven" tilted down, and even the ground seemed to tilt along with it.

Li Jun looked at the distant sky.

The surrounding forces that had been supporting the area, as well as the powerful force that had sealed off the four directions, had all collapsed.

A chaotic storm swirled overhead, its strange air currents tearing everything in their path.

The earth looked as if it had been plowed.

Jungles, hills, settlements, lakes, and rivers all vanished. A force traveled from Buzhou Mountain, destroying everything around it.

"Woooooooo..."

After Li Jun and Ying Long fell, strong earthquakes continued to resound in the distance. Even while flying in the sky, they could see the shockwaves spreading outwards from beneath their feet.

Even more terrifying, it seemed as if a huge hole had been opened in the distant earth, from which water continuously poured in and spread outwards in all directions.

Li Jun immediately noticed: "Underground water?"

This scene reminded him of the sights on the other side of Nuwa's intestines.

Yinglong, hovering in the air, suddenly plunged into a curtain of rain and thunder.

"It's starting to rain."

Li Jun also noticed that the rain around him had started to fall wildly, almost torrentially.

Yinglong danced in the rain, and he had his own thoughts on all of this.

"God!"

"Mount Buzhou collapsed, and the Great Dao Laws that had stabilized this place began to be torn apart."

"When the rules become chaotic, all sorts of strange phenomena arise."

“The rain, wind, flood, and earthquake are all part of the strange phenomena, and also manifestations of the disorder of the Great Dao.”

After saying this, Yinglong sighed deeply.

"If only you, Heavenly Emperor, had already mastered all the laws of the Great Dao, then everything would be salvageable in this situation."

Li Jun watched this scene quietly, without speaking or answering.

It wasn't just Li Jun and his superpowers who arrived here. Li Jun looked into the distance and saw one shadow after another breaking through the terrifying and chaotic wind and rain, approaching Buzhou Mountain.

Many of them are still borrowing the power of ghosts or demons, or wielding the light of sacrificial vessels.

However, upon approaching Buzhou Mountain and witnessing this almost cataclysmic scene, everyone who arrived was dumbfounded.

Amidst the chaotic wind and rain, these figures, separated by tens or even hundreds of miles, communicated and spread their voices using supernatural powers.

A shadow swiftly traversed the void, circling around the ever-tilting Mount Buzhou, as if calculating the extent of its tilt: "The pillar of heaven has begun to tilt, and it continues; this is only the beginning."

Some even flew up to the heavens, rushing into the chaotic storm and sky to check the situation: "Something terrible is about to happen. All the rules here are in chaos, and the Heavenly Pillar can no longer maintain the balance of the Great Wilderness."

A figure stood on the raging floodwaters in the middle of the earth: "The greatest calamity in this great wilderness is about to occur."

Another great shaman disappeared beneath the earth, then emerged and asked a question: "Have you noticed that the ground is starting to tilt from the west to the south?"

Voices immediately came to him: "What does this mean... what does it mean... what did you say..."

The other party replied, "It means that the entire Great Wilderness may be tilted, like a stone slab, with one end raised high and the other end constantly sinking."

"Judging from the current situation, it seems that the west side has been pried up while the southeast side is sinking. However, this has just happened, so it is not obvious at the moment."

"I sensed it from the Demon God Xuan Turtle, but the situation will definitely get worse and worse."

Just thinking about it makes one realize the enormous disaster and impact this could bring.

In an instant, the figures who had arrived displayed a variety of attitudes. Some were furious, some were impatient, and some pessimistically urged everyone to immediately return and lead their clans and tribes to retreat to the Four Extremes and Eight Pillars or even beyond the Four Seas.

Of course, some people also said that they should call on their friends and relatives to stop Mount Buzhou from collapsing.

But looking at the tilted state of Mount Buzhou, there were few responses, and few people were confident that they could do such a thing.

Even these sorcerers who possessed all-powerful abilities.

They could fly and burrow into the earth, move mountains and shake the seas, but they still lived in this world and the wilderness. When such a disaster occurred, they and their clansmen, brothers and descendants could hardly escape it.

As the torrential rain poured down on them, and the earthquake and floodwaters washed over their feet, everyone felt a heavy pressure pressing down on them.

Finally, someone began searching for the person who started all of this.

"What about Gonggong and Zhurong?"

"That's right, where are they?"

"Let them both come out."

Everything was caused by their great sorcerers, Gonggong and Zhurong.

These two borrowed the power of the most powerful and top-tier demon gods in the world, but something went wrong during their fight.

Gonggong suddenly went mad, causing the demon god to completely merge into himself, and crashed into the "pillar of heaven".

Some say, "Gonggong died and fell into the great flood below."

Some people say, "Gonggong was eaten by a demon god and has been destroyed in both body and spirit."

However, some people say: "Gonggong, for some reason, seemed to have gone mad. He crashed into Buzhou Mountain and fell down, and then disappeared without a trace."

Yinglong flew over at this moment and roared without any politeness.

"Where's Zhurong?"

"Where is that Zhu Rong? Tell him to come out."

"Zhurong, come out here!"

The people around knew Yinglong, but dared not respond, not only because they were afraid of Yinglong, but also because of the figure sitting cross-legged on top of Yinglong's head.

Yinglong flew over the most dangerous area at the foot of Buzhou Mountain, where chaos had completely engulfed the place.

Torrential rain, earthquakes, hurricanes, and floods merged together, and one could even see the shadows of demons and gods of all sizes emerging from the ground, roaring and rushing towards the disaster.

Some have the face of a jackal, the body of a wing, yet they move through the water like snakes, emitting cries like infants.

At the foot of the mountain, in the collapsed area, a ferocious ape-like creature, hundreds of feet tall, can be vaguely seen.

Li Jun had not yet recognized these shadows, but Gonggong recognized some of them.

"The serpent, the calamity beetle, the nine-headed infant, and the vermilion demon—all these ferocious creatures have emerged. Did they follow the scent and come into the world together?"

Finally, Yinglong found Zhurong at a place at the foot of Buzhou Mountain.

Gonggong disappeared, while Zhurong stared blankly at the scene brought about by the tilting of Buzhou Mountain, as if he had turned into a walking corpse.

Zhu Rong had red hair, an unusual appearance, and a tall stature.

With sharp, angular features and a head of messy red hair that burned like flames, he was clearly a man with an extremely volatile and irritable personality. But at this moment, he was frozen in place, as if he were encased in ice.

The great war between the Zhurong tribe and the Gonggong tribe not only destroyed Gonggong and the land, but also their two clans.

Yinglong's enormous body fell from the heights, its tail still above the clouds, but its long body circled the void and landed in front of Zhurong, looking down at him.

Yinglong roared, "Zhurong, look what you and Gonggong have done! Where are your people?"

"When you came, you brought a huge entourage, but where have you all gone now?"

Where did everyone go?

The red-haired man did not respond, but continued talking.

"Hopeless!"

"The pillar of heaven has fallen."

Why did Gonggong do this?

Most of the people from both tribes were either submerged here or crushed by the collapsed Buzhou Mountain; very few managed to escape.

If you look closely around, you can see the scene of corpses floating everywhere. Many of them are great shamans and corpse witches, as well as a large number of people from the Gonggong and Zhurong clans who have unusual appearances and are born with supernatural powers.

Faced with such a scene, even Zhu Rong felt on the verge of collapse.

Yinglong angrily spat out a chain and seized Zhurong, but Zhurong did not react even after being captured by Yinglong.

Seeing Zhu Rong's appearance, Yinglong's anger subsided somewhat.

"Blessing!"

"This is the Heavenly Emperor. I invited him from the Heavenly Court, a figure from mythology."

It's quite interesting, actually. Li Jun thought Zhu Rong and Ying Long were mythical beings, but with these two, it was the other way around; Li Jun became a figure in their mythology.

"Tell him what happened. Maybe he still has..."

Yinglong wanted to say that there was still a chance to salvage the situation, but looking at the surrounding scenery, he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Upon hearing the words "Heavenly Emperor," Zhu Rong finally raised his head and looked at the figure sitting cross-legged on Yinglong's head.

Looking at Li Jun, he could naturally sense the extraordinary power emanating from the other party, a power of rules intertwined with the laws of the Great Dao.

Zhu Rong, bound by chains, stepped forward and quickly spoke.

"God!"

"Help...help..."

This man, whose face was unusually fiery, was now in tears, sobbing uncontrollably, unable to utter a complete sentence.

Yinglong roared in fury, "Now that things have come to this, what can be done to save them? It's not just Zhurong and Gonggong who have perished, but also all the tribes of the Great Wilderness and all living beings."

“Even the most heinous crimes cannot describe the faults of the two of you.”

Faced with Yinglong's accusations, Zhurong was unable to utter a single word in rebuttal.

Li Jun didn't say much along the way, but he listened to what others were saying and looked at all the figures that appeared around him.

To be honest, although Li Jun had been in the Great Wilderness for some time, he had rarely delved into understanding this Great Wilderness or the shamans within it.

Especially the shamans of this era.

For the first time, he witnessed the sorcerers of the Great Wilderness of this era flying through the sky and disappearing into the earth, working together to check the situation of Mount Buzhou. He saw them talking to each other, worrying about the disasters that might come, and even forming an alliance to discuss how to overcome the difficulties together.

For a while.

These shadows, bearing names from mythology, have become living, breathing beings.

At this moment, Li Jun looked at Zhu Rong, who was bound in front of him, and then glanced at Ying Long, who was in a rage, before finally speaking.

"Now that things have come to this, there may still be a sliver of hope to salvage the situation."

As soon as these words came out.

Not only did Yinglong and Zhurong raise their heads, but also many gazes from afar turned to look at them.

At this moment, countless people are secretly watching Li Jun. After all, Li Jun, as the Heavenly Emperor, not only has a very special existence, but the recent establishment of the Heavenly Court has also caused a great stir throughout the Great Wilderness.

Naturally, many people were paying attention to him, wanting to know what he was doing here.

However, it had all been done secretly until now, but when Li Jun said he had a way to salvage the situation, all those gazes suddenly became clear.

Some even directly responded to Li Jun, the Heavenly Emperor.

"God!"

"any idea?"

"Is there really a way?"

"The pillar of heaven has collapsed, how can it be saved?"
