Chapter 348 One Hundred Sons (2)
Qingluan leaned against the coffin and nodded, sighing sadly, "If I had known it would turn out like this, I should have smashed Ah Huan's brain after the Empress was put into the coffin, so that she wouldn't have to suffer the pain of being eaten alive now."
"Don't think about it anymore. It seems she doesn't remember you anymore. Let's wait!" Wang Yue rested her head on Qing Luan's back, and the hall returned to calm.
This peace did not last long. A few days later, gnawing sounds could be heard coming from the coffin, along with occasional shrill screams.
"Fifteen years have passed, and it's finally begun!" Wang Yue exclaimed with delight.
The gnawing sound continued for ten days and nights before stopping. Then the stalagmite encasing the coffin loosened and descended, leaving only a pile of broken jade bricks.
Just as Wang Yue and Qing Luan thought a new god was about to appear and dragged their stiff bodies to prostrate themselves in the hall, the air currents in the hall rapidly swirled.
The sound of wind whistled past their ears, but they dared not look too closely, much less speak, for fear of offending this newly born and unpredictable deity.
After a long while, they heard the little girl's voice coming from inside the coffin. She said, "Those outside, come quickly! The Queen's head is too heavy. I'm too small. I can't lift it up."
Upon hearing this, Qingluan and Wangyue were filled with surprise and doubt. They helped each other to their feet and went over.
Then the huge coffin was pushed open, and a plump Celestial girl wearing a light blood-red jacket was sitting at the bottom of the coffin, holding a white bone skull filled with golden liquid.
The white skull was clearly sealed, and no matter how the little girl moved it, not a single drop of liquid inside spilled out.
"Ah Huan! You're still alive!" Qingluan excitedly rushed to the coffin, but was blocked by Wangyue's tail that quickly reached out. Qingluan was stunned for a moment, then immediately transformed into her Dharma body, bowed respectfully, lowered her eyes, and extended one of her wings and claws, saying, "This old servant Qingluan respectfully invites the new god to take the seat."
Wang Yue also unleashed her nine tails, transforming into a celestial being entirely white. She lowered her head slightly and stood beside the coffin like a personal maid.
The girl grabbed the phoenix's wings and sat on her lap, shaking her head and saying, "You must have mistaken me for someone else. I am Shan Baishu, not Ahuan."
"Yes, Lord Shan Baishu," Wang Yue and Qing Luan replied in unison.
As the gates of the Golden Cauldron Palace opened wide, in the heavens above, on the land where the gods descended, the long-hidden, dim giant star, symbolizing mountains and rivers, began to spin rapidly, emitting a brilliant light from the silence. Nearly a hundred fragments of stardust swirled around it, quickly growing larger and brighter.
The sky darkened, and five-colored divine light carried hundreds of stars as they rose from the horizon.
Everything seemed to have returned to the beginning of creation, where light arose from the cold, and the authority of the gods was about to emerge.
The stalagmites on the edge of the Kunlun Mountains have all shrunk downwards, and the golden chains they were supporting have lost their support and have fallen into the clouds and disappeared, leaving only one falling towards the mountain.
Shan Baishu flew into the air and caught the golden chain. He held it up with both hands and roared to the sky: "Heaven and earth have changed, the immortal path should be established. With our divine bodies as the foundation, we offer our source, sacrifice our authority, mend the heavens, and rebuild the immortal bodies of the Hundred Sons in the mountains." This voice resounded throughout the nine provinces, deafening and awakening.
As soon as Shan Baishu uttered these words, dozens of small seals bound with golden chains were thrown out from the clouds. A chipped earthen bowl, also bound with golden chains, caught them one by one and remained suspended in the air, as if waiting.
Shan Baishu wiped away the restrictions on the white bones, knelt down and drank some of the source stream, then opened his mouth and spat out a human-shaped seal.
He bound the golden chain of order within the seal, grasped the seal with both hands, and hurled it forcefully into the sky, where it was caught steadily by the waiting earthen bowl.
The figures of Xi Zhu and Yuan Jun appeared together in the sky, running alongside the stars in the five-colored divine light. Their appearance obscured the brilliance of the stars, causing the earthen bowl containing the seals to remain high in the sky, unable to rise any further.
The fiery Xi Zhu roared at the star cluster enveloped in five-colored divine light: "Mountains and Waters, you have also learned to hide. Now that you have reconstructed your body using the remnants of the Golden Mother's body, why do you still cower in fear!"
In the dim light, the Primordial Lord chuckled and said, "He must know about your past actions and is avoiding you."
Outside the Dragon and Phoenix Palace in the Danxue Mountains, Jiaojue was feeding four small dragons with Source Stream. He pointed to the stars in the sky and said, "Those are our fellow cultivators. Go there and make things easier for them."
Upon hearing this, the four dragons of wind, rain, thunder, and lightning excitedly spewed clouds and lightning into the sky, instantly obscuring the sun and the full moon, leaving only a beam of five-colored divine light shining in the sky.
The rain fell precisely into the remains of the Golden Mother's skull, while lightning flashed around the chipped earthen bowl in the air.
A gust of wind swept by, overturning the skull of the deity left on the ground, and the remaining source of energy inside was swept up by the wind and sent high into the sky.
The chain of order dissolved back into the sky with the wind, and the seals, aided by the wind, left their imprints on the top of the sky before falling again.
At this moment, the earthen bowl continued to weave through the chain of order, gradually tracing its gaps into the chain of order.
Far outside the Jade Void Mountains, Baosheng Jun, who was taken in by She Shu because he could call her "Lord Ji" and is now devoted to seeking the Dao, saw that it was getting dark very early, so he flapped his six wings and climbed back to his treehouse to sleep.
He had just lain down in his nest when he suddenly realized that the fragment on his head was gone!
This won't do! Baoshengjun was greatly alarmed and searched everywhere. Just as he was anxiously looking around, he suddenly felt the fragment return to his head on its own.
Baoshengjun touched his head, feeling a sense of enlightenment that he had finally attained divine status and was subject to the law of cause and effect.
Outside the treehouse, flowers and vines climbed all over the branches, waving at Baosheng-jun, but Baosheng-jun was completely unaware.
Looking at the flowers and green leaves outside, He touched the fragments on His head and said, “Alas, I must have gone mad from thinking about attaining immortality every day, and even came up with the idea that I am a god. If I am a god, how could I not know anything, and how could the path of gods be governed by cause and effect?”
"Calm down, calm down..." Baoshengjun chanted the newly learned calming and self-discipline mantra and fell asleep peacefully.
As Baoshengjun fell asleep, spiritual rain fell from the sky, and the branches and leaves outside flourished even more.
On Mount Kunlun, figures in the forms of beasts, birds, insects, and fish tumbled and leaped through the clouds, as if playing. They accepted the seals and ran off in all directions.
By the time Shan Baishu received his seal, it was already broad daylight.
He picked up the white bone skull from the ground, put it on his head, and bowed to the Lord of the Sun and the Primordial Sovereign in the sky with his little hands clasped in a very proper manner, saying: "Thank you all for watching the ceremony. After I have settled all the matters in the Kunlun Mountains, I will come to pay my respects to you seniors again."
As soon as the gods left, Shan Baishu said to Qingluan and Wangyue, "Summon the managers of the Kunlun Mountains to see me."
Upon hearing this, Qingluan and Wangyue were greatly relieved. Born with innate knowledge and immense power, he was indeed a born god! They had succeeded in creating a god! He was the true reincarnation of the Empress!
Wang Yue then raised her head slightly and asked respectfully, "My lord, do you have any other sisters?"
Shan Baishu touched his head, which was covered by a skull, and grinned, "They were driven out by my elder brother. He said that they had hair and claws, and some strength and skill, so they should go elsewhere to govern the mountains and rivers. He gave me this better part of the Kunlun Mountains to govern."
