Beside him, Zhurong was also dumbfounded. He didn't expect that Gong Gong would have such a huge reaction just because he lost to him by one move. He even used Zu Wu's true body to break Mount Buzhou and cause such a huge disaster. He was filled with regret. Although they didn't get along well, they were still brothers.
Looking at Gong Gong, who was sent to him by Houtu's magic, Zhurong stepped forward to help him. Gong Gong was now severely injured and unconscious. Zu Wu's origin was severely damaged. Fortunately, Houtu had already used his magic to heal Gong Gong. Otherwise, Zhurong wouldn't know what to do.
The water from the Nine Heavens poured into the Great Desolation. Such a huge disaster naturally woke everyone up. A person walked out of the gap between heaven and earth and threw out a small cauldron. The small cauldron quickly expanded until it was as big as a mountain. The cauldron's mouth produced an endless suction force, sucking in all the water from the Heavenly River.
The Cauldron of Heaven and Earth. Everyone in the Great Desolation was stunned. When River Styx established his sect, they had heard of this treasure, but no one had the chance to see it. Today, River Styx acted and used the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth to block the water from the Heavenly River. Everyone in the Great Desolation finally saw this treasure.
As River Styx acted, the other Sages also acted. A scroll unfolded between heaven and earth, turning into a golden bridge that connected heaven and earth. Heaven and earth were once again stabilized. The earth, wind, water, and fire that were rioting due to the disaster were all blocked by a banner, a sword array, and a tree branch, preventing them from wreaking havoc in the Great Desolation.
With the appearance of these magic treasures, several figures appeared at the gap between heaven and earth. They were Lao Tzu, Yuanshi, Tongtian, Nüwa, Summon, Zhunti, and River Styx. With the exception of Houtu, who was trapped in the Nether World, the most powerful people in the Great Desolation had all gathered together.
Lao Tzu looked at the gap temporarily blocked by River Styx's Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and said, "Everyone, Mount Buzhou collapsed and the water from the Heavenly River poured into the Great Desolation. We must fill the gap. Otherwise, the Great Desolation will be submerged sooner or later. We won't be able to explain it to our teacher."
Nüwa said, "I have the Five-Colored Stone that I obtained from the Treasure-snatching Rock. It can be used to mend the sky. However, this stone is difficult to refine, so I need everyone's help." Nüwa was proficient in the Way of Creation. Naturally, she would not pass on the task of mending the sky. Although everyone knew that doing so would bring great merit, they could not compete with Nüwa. If the sky was not mended properly, it would be a big problem.
River Styx said, "My Cauldron of Heaven and Earth can help Nüwa, Daoist Friend." However, looking at the water from the Heavenly River, he said, "But if we want to move the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, we need someone to replace it and temporarily block the gap. Otherwise, there will be more casualties in the Great Desolation."
Tongtian said, "Daoist Friend River Styx, my Fairy-Slaying Sword Formation can create a space of its own. It can block the water from the Heavenly River. Daoist Friend, please move the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth away." Indeed, there were not many magic treasures that could block the water from the Heavenly River. Among the few here, only River Styx's Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, Lao Tzu's Taiji Diagram, Tongtian's Fairy-Slaying Sword Formation, and Nüwa's Map of Mountains and Rivers.
Nüwa had the responsibility of mending the Heavens, so she needed to borrow River Styx's Cauldron of Heaven and Earth to refine the Five-Colored Stones. Lao Tzu's Taiji Diagram was stabilizing the Heavens and Earth, so only Tongtian could take over. Hearing Tongtian's words, River Styx quickly moved the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth away. The water from the Heavenly River once again poured down crazily. However, it was immediately drawn into the Fairy-Slaying Sword Formation and was completely wiped out by the endless evil aura and sword aura.
After Nüwa received the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth, she threw all the Five-Colored Stones she had previously obtained into the cauldron. The blazing flames quickly burned the Five-Colored Stones. At this rate, the Five-Colored Stones would completely melt in no time. Then, the mending of the Heavens would be completed.
Seeing this, Lao Tzu said to Yuanshi, "Second Brother, Mount Buzhou has collapsed and the Heavens and Earth are unstable. Although I have forcibly stabilized it with the Taiji Diagram, it is not a long-term solution. We still need pillars to support the Heavens. There is a mutated Black Tortoise in the South Sea. Go and kill it. Use its four limbs to form four Heavenly Pillars to stabilize the Four Extremities of the Great Desolation."
Upon hearing this, Yuanshi's eyes lit up. Merit, this was all merit. He was about to head to the South Sea to kill the Black Tortoise. Summon and Zhunti could only feel envious. Although they had rushed here, they were obviously rejected by them. They probably did not have much of a share of the merit for mending the Heavens. However, the two of them were not easy to deal with. They used their mana to guide the water of the Heavenly River that was originally poured into the Great Desolation, causing it to flow towards the sea. Although it was a little annoying, it was still a merit.
However, just as Yuanshi was about to leave, he did not expect a prayer to come from the South of the Great Desolation, "Tendo above, I, the Black Tortoise of the South Sea, am willing to use my four limbs to support the Heavens and save the people of the Great Desolation from the Heavens and Earth." As soon as the voice fell, four Heavenly Pillars appeared at the Four Extremities of the Great Desolation, supporting the Heavens and Earth. Then, they disappeared without a trace. Even the Sages could not find them. This was done by the Tendo. Otherwise, if it was interrupted again, there would not be a second Black Tortoise to form the Heavenly Pillars.
Yuanshi was dumbfounded. What the hell was this? He had not killed the Black Tortoise yet, but the Black Tortoise had committed suicide. Yuanshi could not help but feel a little depressed. Why didn't you wait for me to come if you wanted to die? What should have been a proper merit flew away like a cooked duck. In desperation, Yuanshi could only join the teams of Summon and Zhunti to sort out the Great Desolation flood.
With the appearance of the Heavenly Pillars, the Heavens and Earth of the Great Desolation stabilized. Lao Tzu naturally took back the Tai Chi Diagram and blocked the gap between the Heavens and Earth, helping the Tongtian share some of the pressure. Although the Fairy-Slaying Sword Formation formed its own space, the Tongtian also faced great pressure if they wanted to use the power of the Sword Formation to dissolve all the water of the Heavenly River.
When the Heavens and Earth stabilized, Nüwa had also finished refining the Five Color Stones. Out of the three hundred and sixty-six Five Color Stones, she had refined three hundred and sixty-five of them, but there was only one left that she could not refine. Seeing this, Nüwa casually threw the last Five Color Stone into the Great Desolation.
Nüwa took out the liquid formed by the Five Color Stone from the Cauldron of Heaven and Earth and said to Lao Tzu and the Tongtian, "Two Senior Brothers, please move your magic weapons away. I am going to start mending the Heavens." Upon hearing this, Lao Tzu and the Tongtian immediately moved their magic weapons away, and the water of the Heavenly River poured down once again.
Nüwa immediately faced it head-on with her supreme mana, and the majestic power of creation gushed out crazily. Together with the Five Color Stone, she mended the hole in the Heavens. After mending the hole, everyone looked exhausted. Although their mana was boundless, mending the Heavens was really too tiring. Fortunately, their efforts always paid off.
After mending the Heavens, the Tendo sensed everyone's merits and bestowed countless merits. Thirty-five percent went to Nüwa, five percent flew to the last piece of the Five Color Stone that fell into the Mortal Realm, and ten percent flew to the Six Paths of Reincarnation. River Styx, Lao Tzu, and the Tongtian each received ten percent. The Cauldron of Heaven and Earth also received five percent due to its contribution in refining the Five Color Stone. In the end, Yuanshi, Summon, and Zhunti each received five percent.
However, when the merits were bestowed, there were some changes. First, Nüwa's thirty-five percent suddenly disappeared, and Zhunti's five percent was completely gone. When everyone saw this, they all understood. Nüwa's face revealed a trace of guilt, and Zhunti wanted to cry but had no tears.
After working so hard for so long, he did not receive any merits at all. How could Zhunti not be depressed? Although Nüwa also lost five percent of her merits, even so, Nüwa still had thirty percent left. What about him? None at all. The only consolation was that he did not gain any karma.
Although the collapse of Mount Buzhou was caused by the demon race's scheme, and Gonggong's head crashed into Mount Buzhou, after all, Nüwa and Zhunti had interfered with the heavenly mysteries. Otherwise, such a thing would not have happened. Naturally, the two of them would be tainted with karma. Fortunately, they had the merits of mending the heavens to offset it. Otherwise, even if they were Saints, they would not be affected by karma, but the karma would fall on their disciples. This was no laughing matter.
The demon race and the Wu people were even more miserable. Not only did the luck of the two races plummet, but they also shouldered a huge amount of karma. In this disaster, both the Shamans and the Demons suffered great losses. Seeing this, Di Jun could only grit his teeth and swallow it down. This was completely harming others without benefiting himself. The only news that made Di Jun feel better was that Gonggong was seriously injured. Now, Chi You was the new Zu Wu of the Twelve Zu Wu, and Gonggong was seriously injured. Two out of the Twelve Zu Wu had been weakened. This was bound to seriously affect the power of the Twelve Divine Beings Killing Formation.
As the one who came up with the plan, Kunpeng was also tainted with a lot of karma. Naturally, his face did not look good. However, in order to take back the Primordial Spirit that he had separated from before, he could bear the price. After all, he had the merits of creating the demon runes, which could offset the karma for him this time.
However, as the one in charge of the operation, Ghost Che was different. He had already killed many people, and now he was shouldering a huge amount of karma. Although he had gained some merits when he established the Celestial Court, they were all used to improve his cultivation. Now, he did not have any merits to offset the karma. During this Cultivation Tribulation, with such a huge amount of karma, Ghost Che was afraid that he would not be able to survive.
