Chapter 577 The Seven Mansions of the South
In the blink of an eye, almost half a month has passed since Chisongzi and Wuluo arrived at the Hundred Mountains.

After learning of Fu Kui's whereabouts, the two did not rush to the South China Sea.

On the contrary, Chishongzi traversed almost all the mountain villages and towns in the Hundred Mountains before officially setting off for the South China Sea.

"Once you cross this mountain range, everything will truly be different."

Looking down at the mountains below, Wu Luo rarely expressed his feelings.

The fact that Wu Luo, a battle maniac, could utter such a sentiment speaks volumes about the vast difference between the two sides of the mountain range.

North of these mountains lies the territory of the mountain people, where all sorts of strange roads, bridges, and hooks connect the entire mountain range, making it seem as if there are people everywhere.

Hang gliders and butterfly figures flying in the sky...

Bronze chariots and bicycles running on the ground...

As far as the eye could see, the mountain people had truly conquered this vast mountain range, and even the gods of the land had tacitly acknowledged their dominance.

However, once you cross this mountain range, everything changes dramatically.

South of this mountain range, near the southern coastline, the forests present a very pristine state.

There were no bridges, no grappling hooks, and not even many villages or towns...

Only a few main roads barely manage to traverse the mountains and forests, extending all the way to Mount Putuo in the South China Sea.

Through prior research, Chisongzi knew that these main roads were built by the mountain people when they were managing the South China Sea.

After the floods in the South China Sea were completely eliminated, the few survivors who were left naturally moved to the north, and this place gradually became the territory of spirits and beasts.

However, those with foresight could see that it was only a matter of time before the mountain people developed this area.

The reason it's left undeveloped now is purely out of respect for that "Great Camellia God".

"That must be the territory of the Spring Goddess, right?"

Thinking of this, Chishongzi turned his head to look at another undeveloped area on the other side.

That is the source of this mountain range, and also the habitat of the vast majority of the hundred gods.

At least there are a few main roads along the South China Sea coast, but that area is purely natural ecology.

Not only that, the entire area was surrounded by mountains, with only one river leading to Yunmengze open to the public.

In other words, if you want to get to that area, you either have to fly there directly or cross the entire Yunmeng Great Swamp.

No matter which way you get there, it won't be easy.

"The ancient god of spring has stepped down, and now a new god of spring governs that region."

Gently unfolding the living map in his hand, Wu Luo corrected Chi Songzi's statement without even raising his head.

"The newly born Spring God calls himself 'Lord Lingguang' and has a close relationship with the God of Yunmeng Mountain."

"The shaman specifically told me before he came that he might be one of the four spirits of heaven and earth who briefly appeared on the Xuanhuang Pagoda when the celestial beings attained enlightenment."

Wu Luo only raised his head again after confirming that the living map was still valid in this area.

"In other words, if He hadn't died young, He would have been destined to become a great god, just like the 'Lord Mengzhang' who guards the East Sea today."

This was the first time Chishongzi had learned these inside stories, and he couldn't help but look somewhat surprised.

"The Four Spirits of Heaven and Earth? The future Great God?"

"Tell me everything else you know at once!"

"Otherwise, I'm afraid I'll be scared to death by you before I even see Fu Kui on my way there." Hearing Chi Songzi's complaints, Wu Luo knew that his old friend had finally calmed down.

After all, although they had some conflicts because of Fu Kui, they were old friends who had known each other for hundreds of years, so there was no obstacle they couldn't overcome.

"You're wronging me. How was I supposed to know we'd be going to the South China Sea?"

"Whether it's the Great Chun God or Lord Lingguang, they are not evil gods or calamities, and they won't stop us."

Wu Luo paused slightly at this point.

"However, Lord Lingguang has seven subordinate gods, namely Jingmu Han, Guijin Yang, Liutu Zhang, Xingri Ma, Zhangyue Lu, Yihuo She, and Zhenshui Yin."

“They are usually scattered throughout the South China Sea, maintaining the balance between the South China Sea and the mountains of the Hundred Lands.”

"All the gods and creatures born in the South China Sea have received their grace and are willing to obey their commands."

"It is precisely because of their existence that Lord Lingguang possesses supreme authority in the South China Sea, equivalent to half a 'God of the South China Sea'."

The reason why Wu Luo is referred to as "half" is because Ling Guangjun never rightfully inherited the status and subordinate deity of the East Sea God like Meng Zhangjun.

Judging from the current situation, Wu Luo even felt that Ling Guangjun seemed to look down on the title of "God of the South Sea"?
Otherwise, it would be impossible to explain why, as the de facto ruler of the South China Sea, it has always remained confined to the territory of the Great Chun God.

"Those seven subordinate gods you mentioned... are they those few?"

Just then, Chishongzi suddenly raised an eyebrow and pointed to the distant South China Sea.

As if in response to Chishongzi's words, a dazzling red light suddenly burst forth on the distant horizon.

The next second, a long, crimson snake came into view.

The long serpent had wings on its back, as if it were formed from flames, and each breath it exhaled could light up half the sky and evaporate countless seawater.

Opposite the crimson serpent, a continuous stream of black mist was emerging out of nowhere.

This black fog, which spewed out from the depths of the South China Sea, was completely different from ordinary smog; it was filled with evil and malice.

Most importantly, the crimson serpent and the black mist continued their fierce battle.

The black mist also imitated the appearance of the crimson serpent, gradually transforming into a black serpent.

call out!call out!call out!
The noise generated by the two sides' battle was gradually increasing, and soon it could be heard even from where Wu Luo and Chi Songzi were.

The only saving grace was that the crimson serpent wasn't fighting alone.

As the Winged Fire Serpent gradually fell into a predicament, the figures of Jingmu Han, Guijin Yang, Liutu Zhang, Xingri Ma, Zhangyue Lu, and Zhenshui Yin appeared in succession in the sky above the South China Sea.

When these seven subordinate gods appeared at the same time, the image of a firebird also faintly appeared in the sky above the South China Sea.

The firebird had three tufts on its head, and its entire body was vermilion, but it was adorned with gold at its fingertips and wing tail.

Even though it's just a fictional image.

But when the firebird looked down at the South China Sea from the sky, the pattern of the Li trigram was faintly visible in its pupils, and its aura was overwhelming.

In an instant, the previously menacing black mist was suppressed.

As the seven subordinate gods sang in unison, the entire South China Sea seemed to return to its former tranquility.

Only the unseen churning in the depths of the ocean tells of how this crisis was only temporarily suppressed, not completely eradicated.
