Chapter 1065 Self-Sacrifice
This sound appeared in an instant, causing all the gods of Great Xia who were trying to block the black mist to shudder simultaneously.
“Has the situation already become this serious? Even the three Heavenly Venerable Lords can’t do anything about this mist?” Thunder God exclaimed in shock.
“No, there are many ways to resist the mist…” True Lord Jade Tripod made a sword seal with one hand, looking back at the Great Xia territory behind him, and smiled somewhat bitterly, “But in this process, the casualties among mortals will inevitably reach an extremely terrifying level. Even if we stop the mist, the foundation of the Great Xia nation will wither away completely.”
“Great Xia can exist without us gods, but not without its millions of citizens.”
When True Lord Jade Tripod said this, all the nearby gods fell silent.
“But if we fall into reincarnation, what will happen to Great Xia? Won’t those foreign gods take the opportunity to attack Great Xia, destroy the nation and seize its foundation?”
“They won’t. The coverage of this mist is not limited to our Great Xia alone. Overseas nations are also being attacked by the mist right now. If those foreign gods also choose to sacrifice themselves to preserve their territories, then this world will completely enter an era without gods.
Furthermore, even if some of their deities remain, they will be severely weakened and unable to attack Great Xia. Besides, with this mist present, they won’t be able to move freely for a short period, so they won’t pose a significant threat to Great Xia.”
As True Lord Jade Tripod finished speaking, a tremendous sound came from the distant sky.
Lin Qiye turned to look and saw a majestic and sacred heavenly divine kingdom emerging from the void at the distant cloud peaks. Immortal energy swirled around it, crane shadows flew about, and misty immortal energy poured out from the heavenly gates like waterfalls, descending from the gray sky to the mortal world.
That was the divine kingdom of Great Xia, the Heavenly Court.
At that moment, a giant hand pierced through space and violently struck the surface of the Heavenly Court!
Crack—!!
Fractures rapidly spread across the surface of the Heavenly Court, thunderous explosions echoed in the sky above, the misty immortal energy collapsed and dispersed, and the golden light surrounding it faded away at a visible speed.
Boom boom boom—!!
The hand continuously struck the Heavenly Court, forcefully shattering it from the center. The massive divine kingdom gradually disintegrated from the cloud peaks. The Great Xia divine kingdom, which symbolized past glory, was breaking apart piece by piece under the palm of the Heavenly Venerable Lord.
The gods of Great Xia standing before the mist silently watched this scene, their fists involuntarily clenched, their eyes filled with pain and reluctance.
For them, it wasn’t just a divine kingdom… it was the home where they had lived for thousands of years, the foundation of the entire Great Xia mythology!
Now, they had to destroy it with their own hands.
As the Heavenly Venerable Lord’s final palm descended, the entire Heavenly Court collapsed into countless fragments falling from the cloud peaks to the mortal world. Numerous golden threads condensed into a sphere, slowly rotating in the air, emanating a supreme and profound meaning.
Lin Qiye recognized that golden sphere.
At Takamagahara, the Heavenly Venerable Lord had used just one golden thread to cut down the Japanese divine kingdom Takamagahara into the sea.
That was the essence of the Heavenly Court!
Under the Heavenly Venerable Lord’s dividing hand, that essence split into nine parts, transforming into streams of light flying toward various borders of Great Xia. One of them instantly pierced through space and flew to the sky above Lin Qiye and the others.
That strand of essence fell to the ground, instantly raising billowing dust. The entire Pamir Plateau shook violently. When the dust settled, a black stele base, existing between reality and illusion, stood erect at the border!
The gods of Great Xia stood before the mist, looking at the black stele base with extremely complex expressions.
In their eyes, there was reluctance, helplessness, determination, and acceptance… Some of them showed no hesitation at all and were about to step forward when a cyan light swooped down from the sky.
It was a beautiful woman wearing a golden-purple divine robe and a golden phoenix crown. Her beautiful eyes gazed at the black stele base beneath her feet as she slowly spoke:
“The great calamity has arrived. I, as the Queen Mother of Heaven and Earth, in response to the Heavenly Venerable Lord’s decree, am willing to shatter my cultivation to bless the people of Great Xia with eternal peace.”
Seeing this scene, Lin Qiye stood frozen in the sky.
Logically, the scenes before him were all time fragments, and both he and the Queen Mother were witnesses outside these fragments… Even if the Queen Mother stepped forward now, it shouldn’t have any impact on the fragments. Why was she doing this?
As if sensing Lin Qiye’s confusion, the Queen Mother glanced at him, and then a voice sounded in Lin Qiye’s mind:
“No need to be surprised. I… am merely repeating the choice I made back then. This avatar has guarded Kunlun for a hundred years, completing its mission. Letting it enter the divine stele again with the shadows of the immortals is also a way to complete a cycle of reincarnation.”
As her words fell, endless divine light surged from the Queen Mother’s body. Like a burning cyan sun, she unhesitatingly sacrificed herself by crashing into the black stele base.
Boom—!!
Dazzling divine light bloomed between heaven and earth. The Queen Mother’s form dissipated in the air. Half a breath later, streams of divine power interwove from the stele base, quickly outlining the shape of the divine stele. A vast and majestic pressure rolled out from the stone stele.
Lin Qiye stood stunned for a long while, his fists tightly clenched.
The Queen Mother’s self-destruction of her avatar would not have any effect on the black stele base in the time fragment, but in the fragment, the stone stele was still outlined. This was not caused by the Queen Mother’s current avatar, but in that historical moment a hundred years ago, when the Queen Mother’s true self shattered her cultivation and merged into the stone stele, leading to this scene.
However, the Kunlun Mirror could not replay the Queen Mother’s form from back then; it could only record the changes in the stone stele. But combined with the dissipation of this avatar, it completely replayed the scene from that year.
Lin Qiye took a deep breath, his form descending from the sky, as a black figure flew past him.
Endless netherworld energy swept out. The Emperor of Fengdu stepped on the void, his imperial robe fluttering in the wind. Those calm, ancient eyes gazed at the gradually outlined stone stele before him, slowly closing.
He sighed deeply and murmured:
“After reincarnation, this Emperor must recover quickly… otherwise, with no one to manage the vast Fengdu, the netherworld will fall into chaos.”
The six silver rings spinning in his palm suddenly paused. A strand of profound fate thread floated out from the Emperor of Fengdu’s body, wrapping around one of the rings. With a flip of his palm, these six rings vanished into the void, returning to Fengdu.
After doing all this, he took a deep breath. Dense netherworld death energy erupted from his body as he charged directly toward the illusory stone stele!
“The Northern Yin Emperor of Fengdu of Great Xia, in response to the Heavenly Venerable Lord’s decree, is willing to shatter his cultivation to bless the people of Great Xia with eternal peace!”
As his words fell, his form crashed into the black stone stele, his body dissipating into divine power that rapidly outlined the divine stele’s illusory form.
