Chapter 618: Chapter 19: The Abyss of Yu Yuan, World-Ending Cataclysm

"The West Sea that I know... has never stirred up such a huge storm."

Seeing her other two heads reveal their fear, Li Zhu could only admit to Nvwa.

The West Sea is different from the East, South, and North Seas.

It is the place of sunset, corresponding with the Eastern Tanggu’s Yu Yuan in the West.

According to the primitive understanding of this world, the sun would fall into Yu Yuan at sunset, and then rise again the next day in Tanggu, forming a perfect cycle of sunrise and sunset.

Regardless of whether this theory is correct, the West Sea indeed should be a calm sea, almost dead silent.

However, standing on the coastline at this moment, Nvwa could see no trace of calm in the West Sea.

"So, this isn’t a normal phenomenon?"

Raging waves crashed against the shore, and various sea creatures appeared frequently.

At a glance, Nvwa could clearly see the battles and entanglements between land creatures and sea creatures.

"Even a fool could see that this is definitely not a normal phenomenon!"

At this moment, a powerful voice suddenly called out from the mountaintop not far away.

The sudden appearance of this voice startled Nvwa and Li Zhu into looking up at the mountain top in unison.

There they saw a burly man with muscular knots standing on the peak.

The man was shirtless, with two eyes on his chest and a mouth on his navel.

Although the eyes and mouth were closed, anyone could see their extraordinary nature.

"Xingtian Clan!?"

Li Zhu instinctively let out a cry of surprise as she was the first to react.

Then, decisively landing beside Nvwa, Li Zhu’s three heads almost simultaneously issued a warning toward the Xingtian Clan.

"Is that the contemporary Xingtian?"

Only then did Nvwa come to her senses and asked in slight surprise.

When the Hundred Lands Mountain Range aided Xingtian City before, it was always Li Jingshu and Wu Zhen handling the communication.

Therefore, Nvwa had never seen the contemporary Xingtian and did not know that he was not the headless giant of legend.

"If I were you, I certainly wouldn’t stay long in this haunted place now."

Still maintaining his indifferent demeanor, the Xingtian Clan didn’t give Li Zhu and Nvwa another glance.

He only pointed towards the distant coastline that continued to surge, speaking in a resolute tone.

"The West Sea has never stirred up waves before, and what you’re seeing now isn’t waves."

"The water of the West Sea is increasing, causing it to engulf the land boundaries bit by bit, becoming more obvious as time goes on."

Upon hearing these words, both Nvwa and Li Zhu were stunned.

"The seawater is increasing? The West Sea is devouring the land? How is this possible?"

Instinctively, Nvwa asked, as such a thing was completely beyond her imagination.

A temporary tide rise could be understood.

In the foundational education of the Hundred Lands Mountain Range, the relationship between the movement of stars and the ocean was taught.

Nuwa had also studied water circulation and ocean currents to further her practice of water spells.

But because of this, Nvwa was very aware that seawater could not increase out of thin air.

The rise of sea level is generally related to three causes.

The first reason is the melting of polar glaciers, increasing the water of the four seas.

The second reason is the sudden global temperature rise, causing the sea to expand due to thermal expansion and contraction.

The third reason is the relative height change between ocean and land, with underground water veins flowing into the ocean, causing the land to sink overall.

But no matter which reason, none can occur in a short time.

"Nothing is impossible in this world, especially after the Tao Ancestor attained enlightenment."

The powerful voice revealed a sense of composure and calm, with the Xingtian Clan’s tone showing no emotion.

"Before the Tao Ancestor attained enlightenment, could you imagine your ancestors and descendants appearing in this era together?"

"Before the Tao Ancestor attained enlightenment, could you imagine the moon and sun in the sky could also fall?"

"Before the Tao Ancestor attained enlightenment, could you imagine the ’Elixir of Immortality’, something unattainable by ordinary people, appearing in bulk?"

"The Tao Ancestor changed many things, and even if the whole world woke up submerged by the ocean, I wouldn’t be surprised at all."

Furrowing her brows, Nvwa stared at the Xingtian Clan, then suddenly asked after a brief silence.

"Do you know something?"

"If the seawater is indeed increasing, then we must find a way to stop it."

"Otherwise, as you said, if the sea completely submerges the land, it will be too late for us to regret it."

Looking down quite surprised at Nvwa, it was now the Xingtian Clan’s turn to remain silent.

"Are you Nvwa?"

"Wu Zhen was right; you are indeed extraordinarily intelligent."

"It’s a pity that Wu Xian couldn’t bring you back to Great Xia, or maybe Great Xia would look different now."

After a moment of reflection, the Xingtian Clan finally answered Nvwa’s question.

"The expansion of the ocean area was told to me by the Queen Mother of the West."

"She intended to gather the Gods of Kunlun and the Gods of the West Sea to jointly find a way to curb the expansion of the West Sea."

"But the West Sea is different from the other three seas, so neither the Kunlun Gods nor the West Sea Gods care about this matter."

"So she could only tell me about this and let me find a way to delay it."

Without waiting for Nvwa to pursue further questions, the Xingtian Clan retrieved a familiar golden page.

"The Yaochi Letter?"

Upon seeing the golden page, Nvwa believed the Xingtian Clan’s words.

Because the [Yaochi Letter] originates from the [Jade Pool Celestial Book] and is something that only the Queen Mother of the West possesses.

With that page of [Yaochi Letter], the holder could temporarily borrow the power of the corresponding God and even communicate directly with the Queen Mother of the West.

"So, what should we do now?"

With almost no hesitation, Nvwa immediately decided to join this action.

The task of mapping the earth veins and water veins of Kunlun Mountain can be done later; the priority is to temporarily curb the expansion of the West Sea.

Otherwise, Nvwa wouldn’t even need to survey the earth veins and water veins of Kunlun Mountain afterward.

After all, a flooded Kunlun Mountain would not align with the future interests of Nvwa and the Hundred Lands Mountain Range.

"I have already solved the initial problems..."

"If you’re willing to join the battle next, then join!"

Taking a deep look at Nvwa, the Xingtian Clan immediately cast the [Yaochi Letter] towards the West Sea.

Swish!

In an instant, a ray of golden light pierced the sky.

Under the deterrent of that golden light, the originally surging waves suddenly stopped as if they had hit an invisible barrier.

Then, the golden light broke through the sea and shot straight toward the Sea Eye of the West Sea.

During this process, countless sea beasts and demon fiends were awakened, roaring in the direction of Kunlun Mountain.
