The group of weavers had just settled down when a series of booming sounds echoed throughout the world.
It was neither thunder nor howling wind.
The sound came from the earth's core, from the seabed; it was muffled and oppressive.
It was as if an ancient behemoth that had been asleep for thousands of years had slowly opened its eyes and roared angrily in the distance.
The beach beneath my feet was shaking, and even the stone temple in the distance was shedding dust.
"What happened?"
Ah Qi's face was even paler than before, and his whole body was trembling.
She looked out at the sea in horror.
The seawater that was previously lapping against the beach was now receding rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In just a few breaths, the coastline receded by hundreds of meters.
A large expanse of wet seabed was exposed, scattered with various seashells and seaweed.
Everyone was so stunned by the sudden sight that they were speechless.
Just then, Ah Xiu, standing on high ground, suddenly narrowed her eyes and pointed to the distant horizon where the sea met the sky.
Look there!
Everyone looked in the direction she was pointing.
On the distant horizon, a thin black line appeared.
The black line thickened and rose rapidly under the moonlight.
It was as if someone had used thick ink to make a bold stroke on the canvas of heaven and earth.
"What, what is that?" a young weaver asked in a trembling voice.
No one answered her.
Because everyone saw it clearly.
That's not a line.
It was a boundless, towering black wall made of seawater!
It blocked out the moonlight, devoured the stars, and with a world-destroying momentum, it was madly pressing towards the Fairy Islands!
After a brief silence, everyone screamed in agony.
"It's a tsunami! A real tsunami!"
"Run! Run fast!"
The Weaver Girls, who had just been half-believing and half-doubting Old Lady Gongsun's words, were now completely devastated, with only one thought left in their minds.
run!
But where can they run to?
The Fairy Islands are the islands closest to a tsunami!
Just as everyone was in chaos, and some even rushed towards the small boat that had already been capsized by the huge waves, things were in complete disarray.
Grandma Gongsun slammed her cane hard on the ground!
A loud bang drowned out the noise of the crowd.
"Get inside the temple, all of you!"
The old woman's voice was hoarse, carrying an undeniable air of authority.
"The Mountain Goddess's sanctuary is the only way to survive!"
In her cloudy old eyes burned a fanatical flame as she stared intently at the moving tsunami.
Wang Wan remained calm. She simply covered the little girl's eyes gently and said softly, "Don't be afraid, it will be over soon."
…
The earth-shattering roar even reached inland areas dozens of miles away.
On a field ridge, two farmers who were taking a break suddenly felt the ground beneath their feet tremble slightly.
"What's going on? Did the earth dragon turn over?" A man scratched the back of his head in confusion.
The other pointed to the eastern sky, his mouth agape, wide enough to fit a fist, and the hoe in his hand fell to the ground with a clatter.
"Mountain Goddess above! Look what that is!"
In the eastern sky, a towering black shadow was shrouded, and the shadow continued to writhe and rise.
It seemed to want to swallow the entire sky.
A burly man who had just been boasting that he could kill a wild boar with his bare hands let out a scream even more shrill than a pig being slaughtered.
"The Sea Dragon Mother is angry! She's going to drown us!"
Before he could finish speaking, his legs went weak, and he scrambled and crawled toward the village, shouting that he should run away!
…
In another coastal fishing village, this apocalyptic scene has already arrived.
Before the towering waves, desperate cries rang out.
Just then, several huge figures slowly emerged from the surging waves.
A monster with a shark's head, covered in barnacles, and holding a bone.
The other was a bloated, mountain-like mass of flesh covered with dozens of eyes of varying sizes, and its lower body was covered with countless slippery tentacles.
A grand and strange voice resounded in the minds of all the villagers.
"I am the god of the deep sea. You mortals, do you know your sins?"
The shark-headed monster spoke, its voice carrying an air of superior authority.
"If you worship me as the only sea god for generations, and offer your faith and souls, I can save your lives!"
Several strong young men could no longer hold on and fell to their knees with a thud, desperately kowtowing to the monster.
"Please have mercy, Lord Sea God! We are willing! We are willing to serve you for generations to come!"
"Please, save us!"
However, no sooner had they finished speaking than the man who had knelt down at the head of the group suddenly let out a bloodcurdling scream that sounded inhuman.
He scratched his neck and cheeks in agony.
Amidst the horrified gazes of the crowd, dark green fish scales were forcefully squeezed out from beneath his smooth skin!
Blood seeped out from the gaps in the scales, his mouth opened wide uncontrollably, and two bloody gashes tore open on both sides of his neck, from which grew foul-smelling gills!
Even more terrifying was the person next to him, who was clutching his own legs and letting out a heart-wrenching scream.
His two legs were melting and twisting, eventually coalescing into a thick, slippery, giant octopus tentacle that convulsed wildly on the ground!
The hellish scene before their eyes terrified everyone.
An old fisherman with white hair suddenly remembered a taboo passed down from his ancestors. He mustered all his strength and let out a desperate roar.
"Don't believe it! Absolutely do not believe it!"
"That's not the sea god! That's a demon lurking in the deep sea!"
"These evil spirits will assimilate us and turn us into monsters!"
However, at this moment, no one was listening to him anymore, and one person after another knelt down.
…
Fairy Islands.
Just as the massive tsunami was about to crash down.
In the deep sea, one enormous figure after another emerged.
Their voices resounded throughout the heavens and earth, carrying a magical, bewitching power.
The people of Fairy Islands were momentarily bewildered.
However, the next second, an unprecedented golden light rippled out from all the mountain god temples, instantly dispelling all the persistent murmurs.
