Time seemed to have been paused at that moment.
Whether they were native fishermen or well-informed transmigrators like Li Xuan, they all seemed to have their souls ripped out, staring blankly at the newly born land before them.
A daring fisherman, trembling, reached out and cautiously touched the delicate red flower beside him.
It's true.
The warm, moist petals, glistening with dew, have an incredibly realistic feel.
He brought his nose closer and took a deep sniff.
An exquisite fragrance instantly filled his nostrils.
"It's true, the flowers are blooming, it's all real..."
He murmured to himself, tears instantly welling up in his eyes.
The whispered words, tinged with tears, instantly broke the silence and brought everyone around to their senses.
"Waaaaah, it's alive! The land has come back to life!"
"I'm not dreaming! This isn't an illusion!"
Countless people could no longer contain their excitement and collapsed onto the soft, green grass. Some wept loudly, while others laughed wildly.
Some people picked up a handful of fragrant soil and felt the vitality it contained.
Some people buried their faces in the beautiful flowers, letting the refreshing fragrance drive away the fear and despair of the past few days.
When everyone realized what was happening...
"Thump! Thump!"
All the surviving people, regardless of age or gender, knelt down heavily in front of the fading golden phantom in the sky!
They kowtowed repeatedly, expressing their sincere gratitude with all their might.
"The Mountain Goddess is mighty!"
"Thank you, Mountain Goddess, for saving my life!"
"The Mountain Goddess is incredibly powerful!"
The roar of shouts, like a mountain collapsing and a tsunami crashing, echoed over the archipelago for a long time.
Li Xuan stared at the incredibly frenzied scene before him, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he remained silent.
Because he himself was also in a state of great shock and could not calm down for a long time.
Destruction and creation.
In the blink of an eye.
Just who is this mountain god?
Beside him, the burly man Agu, dressed in animal skin and with bulging muscles, swallowed hard, his eyes filled with awe.
"My God, are all the gods in this world this powerful?"
"To annihilate the plague with a snap of the fingers, to recreate life with a wave of the hand, it's simply..."
He could find no words to describe his feelings at that moment.
The black-robed necromancer, who had remained silent until now, had his eyes shining brightly, his heart filled with excitement.
He flashed and appeared directly in front of Old Madam Gongsun, asking urgently.
"Madam, may I ask what kind of forbidden spell the Mountain Goddess just cast? Was it a legendary magic in the realm of life, or a higher-level divine art?"
"Can I learn from them?"
Grandma Gongsun was looking up at the sky with a devout expression when she heard this. She slowly turned her head and glanced at him with an expression as if he were an idiot.
"Forbidden spells? Magic?"
The old lady's tone was full of disdain and pride.
"That's divine power!"
"This is a power unique to our Mountain Goddess! What do you know?"
"What do you mean by 'techniques'? Does our Mountain Goddess need to use techniques? Did you see the Mountain Goddess chanting incantations?"
"He beckoned to those below, and life returned on its own?"
The black-robed mage was rendered speechless by the rebuttal. He opened his mouth, but could only retreat to the side in a huff, though the fanaticism in his eyes remained undiminished.
Divine power...
Is this true divine power?
Just then, in the sky, the majestic golden phantom, after receiving the worship of all people, gradually dimmed.
In the end, it turned into specks of golden light and completely dissipated between heaven and earth.
The divine power may have faded, but the miracles will endure.
The people on the islands remained kneeling on the ground, discussing excitedly.
"Do you think the God of Plague will ever return?"
One of the fishermen asked with some concern.
Someone nearby immediately objected.
"Come back? It dares! The Mountain Goddess can destroy it once, and she can destroy it a hundred times!"
"That's right! The Mountain Goddess is amazing! Much more powerful than the Sea Gods we worshipped before!"
“That’s right! The Sea God only brings wind and rain, and he demands offerings! Unlike the Mountain Goddess, who not only saved us, but also turned the island into a paradise!”
A woman immediately made the decision.
“From today onwards, my whole family believes in the Mountain Goddess! When I get back, I’ll smash the Sea God’s tablet and replace it with the Mountain Goddess’s!”
"Yes! We should believe in the mountain god too!"
"We must build a temple for the Mountain Goddess! We must use the best wood to build the biggest and most magnificent temple!"
Just as everyone on the island was enthusiastically discussing how to build the mountain god temple, Wang Wan had already walked up to Li Xuan on the other side.
"Senior brother."
Li Xuan snapped out of his daze and looked at the junior sister in front of him, who was both familiar and unfamiliar, with a complicated expression.
"Junior sister, let's go inside and talk."
A moment later, in the simple mud house from before.
Li Xuan, Agu, the black-robed mage, the silver-armored female gunner, and other core members of the transmigrators all gathered here.
All eyes were fixed intently on Wang Wan.
"Junior sister, that mountain god..."
As soon as Li Xuan opened his mouth, Wang Wan raised her hand to interrupt him.
Her expression was more serious than ever before.
"Senior brothers, everyone, we can catch up later."
"I have come here on the orders of the Mountain Goddess to resolve the crisis in the Fairy Islands of the South China Sea."
Everyone was taken aback upon hearing this.
The silver-armored female gunner asked, puzzled.
"Crisis? Wasn't the crisis of the God of Plague resolved? Even the Goddess of the Mountain has taken action, so how could there be any crisis in the short term?"
Agu also guessed in a muffled voice.
"Could it be those sea gods? They're unhappy that the mountain god has appeared in their territory, and they're here to cause trouble?"
Everyone nodded in agreement, thinking it was highly likely.
However, Wang Wan shook her head.
Her gaze swept over everyone present, and she spoke slowly and deliberately.
"Neither."
"The real crisis is about to arrive."
"It was an unprecedented natural disaster that swept across the entire Fairy Islands in the South China Sea!"
Those who had just seen a glimmer of hope looked at each other in bewilderment once again.
Everyone's faces were filled with astonishment.
A woman in a silver combat uniform, exuding a heroic air, was the first to break the silence.
"A natural disaster?"
"What natural disaster?"
Wang Wan's gaze slowly swept over everyone, finally settling on Li Xuan's face, her voice heavy.
"It was an unprecedented mega typhoon."
"What it will bring is a massive tsunami powerful enough to wipe the entire Fairy Islands off the map."
