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

Chapter 248, The Pillar of Heaven Breaks, the Golden Crow Appears
In chaos, time is disordered.

This will result in a severe disconnect between the timeline of the world of mountains and seas.

This leads to a peculiar phenomenon:

Countless years may have passed in the chaos, but in the realm of mountains and seas, only a moment has elapsed.

Conversely, a single moment in chaos may represent a profound transformation for the world of mountains and seas.

Therefore, in the vast world of mountains and seas, the war between the Yellow Emperor and the Yan Emperor has already come to an end.

The smoke of battle has long since dissipated, replaced by a new order and tranquility.

With his outstanding leadership and powerful tribal strength, and with the assistance of many allies, the Yellow Emperor emerged victorious in this great war that determined the fate of the Central Plains, and successfully established the North Pole of Heaven.

The enormous pillar soared into the clouds, exuding an aura of majesty and mystery, as if announcing the final outcome of this war to the world.

Although Lin Yuan and Gonggong both disappeared into the chaos at a crucial moment in the great battle, the Yellow Emperor always remembered Lin Yuan's outstanding achievements in the early stages of the war.

To express his gratitude and respect to Lin Yuan, the Yellow Emperor made a special trip to the Shu Kingdom and chose Leizu, the daughter of the Xiling clan, as his wife.

This marriage alliance not only greatly strengthened the friendly relations between the Yellow Emperor's tribe and the Shu Kingdom, but also represented the Yellow Emperor's high recognition and praise for Lin Yuan's achievements.

In addition, the Yellow Emperor also bestowed generous rewards upon the people of Shu.

He bestowed upon the Shu Kingdom vast fertile lands, enabling its people to live and work in peace and contentment; distributed countless precious treasures to boost the Shu Kingdom's economy; and granted various privileges, allowing the Shu Kingdom to develop rapidly under the new order.

This situation continued for a long time. Under the rule of the Yellow Emperor, the world of mountains and seas became increasingly prosperous. The people had long been accustomed to peace and tranquility, and gradually buried that thrilling war deep in their memories.

However, the peaceful days did not last.

On this day, the originally clear sky was suddenly ripped apart by a blinding light.

In the heavens, an enormous meteorite suddenly appeared, trailing a long, fiery tail, hurtling toward the world of mountains and seas with unstoppable force.

Its target is clear and unambiguous: the South Pole.

The people of the Mountain and Sea World stopped what they were doing, looked up at the sky in horror, and were at a loss for what to do in the face of this sudden strange phenomenon.

And this meteorite was actually Gonggong transformed into.

After he disappeared into the chaos, he was controlled by a mysterious and strange force and remained in a state of dementia.

At this moment, his body was engulfed in black flames, a testament to his reckless and all-consuming power.

His eyes were empty yet filled with madness, completely driven by a strange obsession, as he frantically crashed towards the South Pole.

As for why Gonggong chose the South Pole of the sky instead of the North Pole, perhaps in his distorted subconscious, his hatred for Zhurong still burned fiercely.

Zhu Rong had defeated him in a past battle, and this humiliation was deeply etched in his heart.

Even now, in his irrationality, he instinctively wants to vent his hatred by destroying things associated with Zhu Rong, and unfortunately, the South Pole has become the target of his frenzied revenge.

As Gonggong drew ever closer, the space near the South Pole of the Sky began to distort and deform, and the powerful energy fluctuations caused the surrounding air to emit a sharp whistling sound.

On the ground, people were in a panic, running in all directions, their cries and shouts mingling together.

Many powerful beings hidden in various parts of the mountains and seas keenly sensed the anomaly the moment Gonggong caused this earth-shattering phenomenon appeared.

They emerged from their secluded retreats and mysterious caves, and looking up, they saw Gonggong, trailing a long tail of black flames, charging madly toward the southern pole of the sky.

Zhu Rong, who had a long-standing grudge against Gong Gong, was instantly enraged by this scene, and flames suddenly rose around her, like an erupting volcano.

He flashed, instantly traversing a thousand miles, appearing in Gonggong's path, and roared:
"Gonggong, what do you want to do?!"

The sound was like rolling thunder, echoing between heaven and earth, causing ripples to spread throughout the surrounding space.

But at this moment, Gonggong was completely dominated by that mysterious and crazy power, and had lost all reason.

He ignored Zhu Rong's angry roar, his eyes fixed on the South Pole so close at hand, and the black flames around him grew ever stronger, as if they were about to burn the entire world to ashes.

At the same time, powerful figures from all sides made their moves.

Some used water magic to try to block Gonggong's attack with the surging water. The water instantly gathered into a huge water curtain, blocking Gonggong's way.

Some unleashed their magical treasures, which shone brightly and released powerful restrictive forces in an attempt to bind Gonggong.

In an instant, light flashed across the heavens and earth, and various powerful forces intertwined and collided.

However, Gonggong, driven mad, was like an ancient beast that had lost its mind, with explosive fighting power.

He swung his arms violently, instantly shattering the condensed water flow with his power, sending droplets flying in all directions like bullets.

Faced with the restrictions released by those magical artifacts, Gonggong showed no fear and charged straight into them.

With a loud bang, the magic weapon's light dimmed instantly, and it shattered into countless fragments that scattered in the air.

Gonggong charged forward recklessly, and wherever he went, the forces of the powerful who tried to stop him were all defeated.

Even the mighty Zhu Rong was forced to retreat repeatedly by the impact released by Gong Gong, his face turning extremely pale.

Gonggong was unstoppable, like a world-destroying meteor from the depths of chaos, crashing headlong into the pillar of heaven at the southern pole of the sky.

At the moment of impending impact, the entire world seemed to freeze, and all things fell into an eerie silence.

Immediately afterwards, a deep and deafening roar erupted, a sound that surpassed all human understanding of sound, as if it were about to shatter the eardrums of the universe.

Under Gonggong's all-out attack, the Heavenly Pillar began to show tiny but fatal cracks.

These cracks, like a spider web, spread across the surface of the pillar at an alarming rate.

Within each crack, an eerie light flickered—the chaotic power leaking out after the laws of heaven and earth were broken.

As the cracks multiplied and widened, the pillar creaked under the strain, like a fading giant letting out its final roar.

In just a moment, Tianzhu could no longer withstand the terrifying impact.

With a deafening roar that shook the heavens and the earth, the pillar of heaven snapped in two from the middle.

A powerful energy storm erupted from the fracture, carrying with it shattered laws of heaven and earth, raging chaotic power, and the remaining frenzied energy of Gonggong, sweeping outwards in all directions. The sky seemed to be ripped open by an invisible giant hand; the once azure firmament instantly turned pitch black, and countless stars began to flicker erratically, as if about to veer off their orbits.

The earth trembled violently, mountains collapsed like ants, valleys were instantly filled, and rivers flowed back, forming huge whirlpools.

The tsunami surged in with overwhelming force, its waves reaching tens of thousands of feet high, mercilessly swallowing everything in its path.

Deep, bottomless ravines appeared on the land, and scorching magma erupted from the earth, meeting the cold seawater and instantly generating large amounts of steam, enveloping the entire world in a hazy mist.

The howling wind swept across the land, its sound like the wailing of ghosts and wolves, tearing anything that dared to stand in its way to shreds.

Sand and stones flew everywhere, the sun and moon were obscured, and the whole world was plunged into chaos and despair.

Countless creatures in the world of mountains and seas perished in this sudden catastrophe, some drowned by floods, others swallowed by lava, and still others swept away by raging winds. The entire world was plunged into the shadow of apocalypse.

Far to the east, in the land of sunrise, in the corner where light first shines, Di Jun stood quietly atop the towering temple, his gaze seemingly piercing through endless space as he stared at the chaos caused by Gonggong's frantic collision with the southern pole of the sky.

A fleeting, enigmatic light flashed in his deep eyes, and his thin lips parted slightly as he slowly uttered:

"The time has come."

His voice was deep and penetrating, as if it contained the power to control all things.

Behind Di Jun was a sacred and tranquil world.

Ten golden crows perched on the giant Fusang tree, their bodies radiating intense light. Their golden feathers shimmered in the sunlight, each one seemingly flowing with the power of the sun.

The crows either preened their feathers or stretched their necks to sing, their clear, resonant voices echoing through the sky like a great bell, causing the surrounding air to vibrate.

Di Jun tilted his head slightly, looking at the golden crows, his eyes filled with expectation and command.

He waved his hand gently, and an invisible force instantly transmitted into the consciousness of the Golden Crows.

As if receiving some kind of sacred mission, the ten golden crows spread their huge wings and soared into the sky.

The flames around them grew ever stronger, and the intense heat distorted the surrounding space, as if everything they passed through would be ignited.

The golden crows formed a neat line and flew towards the Jianmu tree in the Duguang Plain.

Along the way, the light they released illuminated the entire sky. The world, which had become dark and oppressive due to the collision with Gonggong, was now torn open by the brilliance of the golden crows.

The people fleeing on the ground stopped in their tracks in the sudden light, looking up at the sky with a mixture of fear of the unknown and a glimmer of hope in their eyes.

The wilderness of Duguang, a mysterious place between heaven and earth, is where the Jianmu tree soars into the clouds, connecting the three realms of heaven, earth, and man.

When the ten golden crows arrived at Jianmu, they circled around it a few times before landing on its thick branches.

The arrival of the golden crows instantly enveloped the Jianmu tree in scorching flames, giving the already mysterious tree an even more sacred and majestic aura.

They leaped and chirped on the branches, and the flames flickered with their movements.

Soon, an incredibly hot power, centered on the ten golden crows perched on the Jianmu tree, spread rapidly outwards from the heavens and earth like a suddenly exploding supernova.

This power contains terrifying energy from the very source of the sun; its temperature is so high that it instantly ignites the surrounding air, producing a sizzling sound.

The Hironono Plain, bearing the brunt of the heatwave, was instantly engulfed by the heat. The once lush vegetation withered and carbonized upon contact with the heat, then ignited by the intense heat, and the raging fire spread rapidly, turning the entire Hirononono Plain into a sea of ​​fire in the blink of an eye.

The clear streams and lakes boiled rapidly under the high temperature, and the water vapor evaporated into thick fog, which intertwined with the thick smoke from the burning vegetation, covering the Duguang Plain completely.

The scorching power continued to spread outwards, causing the earth to crack wherever it went, with huge fissures spreading rapidly like the mouths of ferocious beasts.

From these cracks, molten lava gushed out, interacting with the hot ground and causing the ground temperature to rise sharply.

Whether it's towering mountains or vast plains, everything has been transformed beyond recognition by this force.

The snow on the mountain melted instantly, triggering a massive mudslide. Boulders mixed with mud surged down the mountainside, burying everything in their path.

Under this terrifying heat, the creatures of the mountain and sea world were plunged into dire straits. Birds in mid-air were scorched by the blazing air currents, lost their balance, and plummeted to the ground.

The beasts scattered and fled, but could not find a place to escape the heatwave, and eventually collapsed on the scorching ground.

Human towns and villages are even more vulnerable to this force.

Houses burned and collapsed one after another, and people panicked and fled in all directions, but could not escape the hellish heat.

Many people suffered burns from the heatwave, their skin blistering and festering instantly, emitting painful screams that echoed in the scorching air, adding to the sense of despair.

Rivers, lakes, and seas were not spared either; the water surface evaporated rapidly, and the water level dropped quickly. Fish struggled in the scalding water, but soon lost their vitality, floating belly up on the surface.

The once calm ocean is now turbulent, the high temperature causing the seawater to churn and generate huge columns of steam that shoot straight into the sky.

These steam columns interact with the clouds in the sky, which are distorted by the high temperatures, causing strange and terrifying weather phenomena.

At times, lightning flashed and thunder roared, with thick bolts of lightning striking the earth and igniting more forests and buildings.

At times, fierce winds would rage, carrying scorching sand and stones, like sharp blades cutting through everything in the world.

In the blink of an eye, the world had been transformed into a hellish landscape.

The earth was scorched red, thick smoke filled the air, flames soared into the sky, and cries and screams mingled together, as if the whole world was on the verge of destruction under this scorching power.

The ten golden crows continued to burn, their light growing ever brighter, as if proclaiming that the disaster had only just begun.

The collapse of the pillar caused a huge disaster in the south.

However, the celestial realm has not collapsed immediately; this will require a relatively long process.

If the South Pole is repaired in time, it can still be salvaged.

However, the sudden chaos caused by ten golden crows in the world accelerated that process.
When Lin Yuan returned.

Seeing such a scene.

His gaze suddenly became inscrutable.
