Mythology: Erlang Shen begins to show his divine power in the heavens

Chapter 240, The Ten Thousand Mountains, Increased by Another Ten percent
When the Heavenly Realm was completely stabilized, an invisible yet powerful force rippled outwards from the Heavenly Realm to the entire Mountain and Sea Great World.

This fluctuation carried an indescribable sense of completeness and peace, instantly attracting the attention of many gods in the world of mountains and seas.

Within the vast world of mountains and seas, the gods who were originally busy with their own cultivation or protecting their respective regions all felt something.

They all stopped what they were doing, subconsciously raised their heads, and looked through layers of clouds and mountains towards the celestial realm high in the sky.

Their eyes held a mixture of shock, awe, and an undisguised excitement.

On a beautiful, celestial mountain, an old deity with white hair yet vigorous spirit, dressed in a simple Taoist robe and holding a whisk, slowly opened his eyes. His eyes gleamed with wisdom, and he murmured to himself:
"With the Celestial Realm now complete, the格局 (geju, a concept encompassing both the physical and spiritual aspects) of this world is likely to undergo another major transformation."

The group of lesser immortals beside him all looked puzzled and asked in soft voices, but the old god just shook his head and remained silent, continuing to look in the direction of the celestial realm, as if waiting for something.

Standing on the land of the Mountain and Sea World, Lin Yuan felt the immense power fluctuations brought about by the stabilization of the Heavenly Realm. His thoughts involuntarily drifted to those long-forgotten memories about the destiny of the Four Heavenly Extremes.

In his mind, these memories unfolded slowly like a series of clear paintings.

He remembered that in the meticulous planning of the Human Emperor, the establishment of these four poles of heaven had a clear purpose. This was not only related to the stability of the order of heaven and earth, but also to avoid conflicts among the gods over the struggle for the mandate of heaven.

The Emperor's arrangement was like a cleverly woven net, encompassing all forces and assigning them their respective roles.

"The Eastern Pole should be established by Emperor Jun."

Lin Yuan murmured softly, the majestic figure of Di Jun appearing in his mind.

Di Jun held a supreme position in the Eastern Yi pantheon, and his forces were vast. With his abilities and prestige, establishing the Eastern Pole was the most suitable thing for him.

In Lin Yuan's memory, Di Jun radiated a powerful light. He possessed outstanding leadership skills and formidable strength, and was certain that he could make Dongji prosperous and become a solid barrier in the eastern part of the Mountain and Sea World.

"The Western Regions should be established for the Golden Mother."

Lin Yuan continued to reminisce.

The Golden Mother is a mysterious and powerful being whose wisdom and strength are highly regarded in the pantheon.

The Western Regions, with their unique environment and mysterious atmosphere, are the perfect place for Queen Mother to utilize her expertise.

However, when Lin Yuan's thoughts turned to the North and South Poles, his brows furrowed slightly.

"The North and South Poles seem to be undefined? Huaxu and Taiyi want to arrange for the tribes within their pantheon to fight for them themselves."

He knew that the reason why the destiny of the North and South Poles was so special was because Huaxu and Taiyi had their own considerations.

They hope that through competition and selection within the tribe, the most capable and qualified person will be chosen to shoulder this destiny.

This will not only inspire the fighting spirit of the tribe members, but also ensure that the Arctic and Antarctic have strong protectors after their establishment.

"In other words, the Arctic may have belonged to one of the tribes such as Xuanyuan or Shennong, or even joined forces with them, and the Antarctic is probably similar."

Lin Yuan analyzed it to himself.

The Xuanyuan clan was renowned for its bravery, skill in battle, and exceptional wisdom, and its tribe was filled with powerful figures.

Shennong was skilled in agriculture and medicine, and made great contributions to the lives of people in the world of mountains and seas. His tribe had a profound cultural heritage.

Other tribes also have their own unique characteristics.

Whether they undertake the task individually or cooperate with each other, they are both capable of supporting the sky.

The situation in Antarctica is largely the same, with numerous tribes vying to emerge victorious in this competition.

"The Xuanyuan clan and others have contacted me, and perhaps they will contact me in the future to ask for my help."

A thoughtful look flashed in Lin Yuan's eyes.

His Shu Kingdom maintained close ties with tribes such as the Xuanyuan clan, and there was a certain foundation of trust and cooperation between them.

The fate of the Arctic is still uncertain, and tribes such as the Xuanyuan clan may seek his help.

If we can help the Xuanyuan clan and other tribes obtain the mandate of heaven in the North Pole, perhaps we can also gain something.

"However, even if they completely establish the four pillars of heaven now, the pillars of heaven will still collapse in the future. And the cause of this is Gonggong?"

This was not something he knew.

At that time, the Emperor only told him that Nuwa would succeed him as the next emperor after the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar and the merit of mending the sky, and would be called the Emperor.

As for why the pillar collapsed, it was not explained.

But at that moment, he seemed to receive some unknown information from space and time, which made him aware of some of the reasons.

"If I take precautions in advance, can I intercept these merits?"

"But if I do that, won't Nuwa kill me?"

Nuwa was probably one of the most supreme innate deities.

In the highest primordial world, that would be a figure at the level of a Great Luo Immortal.

Lin Yuan gently shook his head, trying to dispel the complex and chaotic thoughts in his mind about the Four Extremes of Heaven.

He knew that his current obsession with speculating about the fate of the North and South Poles, and his conjecture about the cause and effect of the collapse of the Heavenly Pillar and Nuwa mending the sky, was meaningless.

After all, in this grand scheme of heaven and earth, he himself shoulders an extremely crucial mission.

He looked up and gazed at the mysterious and vast wilderness of Duguang in the distance.

At this moment, Hironohara appeared to him like a bright pearl about to burst forth with dazzling light.

That towering Jianmu tree, like a divine pillar piercing through heaven and earth, is firmly rooted in the heart of the Duguang Plain.

It is not only a symbol of the Duguang Plain, but also a crucial trump card in Lin Yuan's hands.

In this momentous event concerning the reshaping of the order of heaven and earth and the construction of the four poles of heaven, the position of the Tokugawa Plain and the Jianmu Tree is irreplaceable.

In fact, Jianmu is already a ready-made pole, and not just any pole, but the most core pole outside of the four poles!
Its importance far surpasses that of the other four poles, much like the most dazzling North Star in the night sky, guiding the order of the universe.

Lin Yuan understood that as long as the plan was implemented smoothly, the Duguang Plain and the Jianmu Tree would play a decisive role in the future world order.

According to the established plan, he was to move the Ten Thousand Mountains so that these majestic mountains would surround the entire Duguang Plain.

Imagine that scene: the undulating mountains of the Ten Thousand Mountains, like natural fortresses, envelop the wilderness of Duguang layer by layer.

Each mountain peak contains a powerful force of nature, and they resonate with each other, forming an indestructible synergy. The central Jianmu tree, like the moon surrounded by stars, exudes an even more powerful aura amidst the embrace of the surrounding mountains.

When all this is completed, the Tohiro Plain, with its Hundred Thousand Mountains and the Jianmu Tree, will form a majestic, awe-inspiring force that shakes the heavens and the earth.

Without further hesitation, Lin Yuan conjured up the Mountain-Driving Whip in his hand.

It trembled slightly in Lin Yuan's hand, as if it couldn't wait to display its divine power.

Holding the mountain-driving whip, Lin Yuan's eyes blazed as he galloped into the distance.

His figure sped through the world of mountains and seas, causing clouds and mist to disperse and the earth to tremble wherever he went. He searched for suitable mountains, and with his keen perception of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, he quickly locked onto his target.

On a vast wasteland, a towering mountain rises abruptly into the clouds.

This mountain is majestic, its body composed of hard basalt rock. Having withstood the test of time, it exudes an ancient and profound aura.

Lin Yuan stood at the foot of the mountain, took a deep breath, and swung his mountain-driving whip sharply.

A beam of black light shot out from the tip of the whip, instantly enveloping the entire mountain. The mountain, which had been standing still, now seemed to be pulled by an invisible force and began to move slowly.

The mountain rubbed against the earth, producing a deafening roar and raising clouds of dust.

Lin Yuan drove the giant mountain toward the direction of Duguang Plain.

Along the way, his figure moved forward alongside the majestic mountain, a scene witnessed by many passing creatures.

They all stopped in their tracks, their eyes filled with shock.

In their eyes, Lin Yuan seemed to have become the master of heaven and earth, able to command such a massive mountain, a power far beyond their imagination.

However, Lin Yuan was completely unaware of this; he focused on his work and continued searching for the next suitable mountain.

Each time he found a target, he would repeat the same method, wielding his mountain-driving whip and driving the mountains toward the wilderness of Duguang. During this process, he would occasionally encounter some treacherous Tianshan Mountains.

These Tianshan Mountains rise high into the clouds, their peaks covered in ice and snow year-round, creating an extremely harsh environment.

But Lin Yuan did not back down at all. Relying on his own powerful strength, he drove these Tianshan people towards the direction of Duguang Plain.

Days passed, and Lin Yuan tirelessly repeated this work.

His figure shuttled back and forth in the world of mountains and seas, and each time he drove the mountains, it was as if he was writing a legend.

As time went on, he drove more and more mountains to the surrounding areas of Tohironohara.

The once flat land now has an extremely strange terrain.

Various steep peaks stand tall, intersecting each other to form natural barriers.

From a distance, the Hirokazuchi Plain is surrounded by these mountains, as if encased in a sturdy suit of armor. Between the peaks, deep valleys and ravines crisscross, and the roads are rugged and difficult to traverse.

For ordinary creatures to enter the wilderness of Duguang from the outside would be more difficult than ascending to heaven.

As the saying goes, "The road to Shu is more difficult than ascending to heaven," and this is exactly the scene around the Duguang Plain at this moment.

When all the mountain formations were perfectly formed according to Lin Yuan's vision, the Duguang Plain was surrounded by majestic peaks, resembling a sacred fortress guarded by mountains.

Lin Yuan stood beneath the Jianmu tree, his gaze solemn, his aura surging and turbulent.

He began to harness the multifaceted power he controlled.

In an instant, the power of chaos, the power of starlight, the power of time and space, the power of yin and yang reincarnation, the power of cause and effect, and the power of the fundamental Dao, like hundreds of rivers flowing into the sea, surged towards the surrounding mountains.

Wherever these forces touched, the mountains seemed to come alive and began to tremble slightly.

Immediately afterwards, mysterious rays of light shone from the mountain, echoing the power released by Lin Yuan.

These rays of light, like nimble threads, rapidly spread towards the Jianmu tree, tightly connecting the surrounding peaks with it.

As the light intertwined, an invisible field of power gradually formed, tightly enveloping the entire Tohiro Plain and the surrounding mountains.

At this moment, a solemn and dignified atmosphere permeated the entire world.

As if sensing this powerful force, the Jianmu tree, which was already towering into the clouds, appeared even more majestic and magnificent.

The tree trunk shimmered with an even brighter light, and as the branches swayed, it seemed to be having a silent dialogue with the surrounding mountains.

And the mountains surrounding the Tohiro Plain, drawn together by this force, formed an organic whole with the Jianmu tree.

In an instant, an invisible force of immense and indescribable power spread out from the center of Tohironono to the entire world.

Wherever this force passed, space trembled, and time seemed to stand still. In the celestial realm, the originally stable realm seemed to be propelled by a powerful force, slowly rising a few notches.

At the same time, the power of the rules of the celestial realm became more condensed, and the entire celestial realm became more stable. The minor flaws and unstable factors that originally existed disappeared without a trace under the influence of this power.

Meanwhile, at the moment Lin Yuan completed this great feat, a row of light screens suddenly appeared before his eyes:
[The host has fully fulfilled the destiny of the Jianmu tree supporting the sky, increasing the role-playing accuracy by 10%.]

Before Lin Yuan could recover from this surprise, he clearly felt a tremendous change in his understanding of the laws.

The various laws that were originally obscure and intricate became clearer and smoother in his perception, as if they were connected by an invisible thread and integrated.

With a simple gesture, he could feel the laws of space and time around him moving as if they were his own limbs, completely at his mercy.

In the blink of an eye, the power of cause and effect wove a complex and orderly network of cause and effect according to his will.

He seemed to have become the master of the laws of this world, and his understanding of the essence of the world had risen to an unprecedented level.

His understanding of the Root Dao became more and more thorough. Originally, there were some unclear areas in the complex structure of the Root Dao, but now, under the catalysis of this power, those obscure places instantly became bright and clear.

He saw the deeper essence of the Root Dao, understood how it gave birth to the primordial power of all things in the world from chaos, and how it maintained the operation of all things in the universe in an exquisite way.

This is not just an improvement in cognition, but also means that his control over power has reached a whole new level. He can mobilize the power of origin in a more precise and efficient way, and can even try to evolve and create it more boldly.

At the same time, the various Dao Fruits within Lin Yuan's body began to resonate with each other and merge together, as if they had found matching puzzle pieces and fit together tightly.

The power of laws contained in each Dao Fruit no longer operates independently, but rather intertwines and complements each other, forming a larger and more coordinated power system.

This fusion allowed the power of the Dao Fruit to be superimposed and sublimated, making Lin Yuan's power unprecedentedly strong. He also became more adept at using various laws, as if he himself had become a central hub of laws that gathered all laws.
