The gods began by supporting Guo Jing to become emperor

Chapter 383 Following in the footsteps of Bai Suzhen, the feat of changing the world.

Unfortunately, although Bu Bai Suzhen had the will to save the world, she was betrayed once again. She had three disciples, among whom Jing Wang was the most talented, but his ambition backfired and turned against his sect. He joined forces with Xiong Ba's father, the Purple-Clad Boss, and used the "Returning Origin Blood Hand" to absorb forty percent of her Earthly Extreme Maha Boundless Power, causing her serious injury.

While Bu Bai Suzhen was healing her injuries in the Shaolin Wooden Dummy Alley, Jing Wang used "He Sheng Du" to possess the body of the Purple-Clad Leader, attempting to completely kill his master, but ultimately failed. However, Bu Bai Suzhen was no pushover either. After recovering from her injuries, she joined forces with Feng Yun to kill Jing Wang without harming the Purple-Clad Leader.

When Su Ming was studying the Maha Boundless, he did not notice that Bu Bai Suzhen was among them. She must have survived the tribulation of death and was now recuperating somewhere unknown.

When visiting West Lake, one cannot help but mention Leifeng Pagoda, which is said to have been built during the Wu and Yue periods.

It is said that when King Qian Shu of Wuyue had a son, he ordered the construction of a thirteen-story Buddhist pagoda with 84,000 volumes of Buddhist scriptures to pray for Huang's safety.

As night deepened, Su Ming arrived at the foot of Leifeng Pagoda. The monks inside did not notice him, but instead of going up, he walked down.

Leifeng Pagoda has thirteen stories, but few people know that there is another story underground. The most important of the four wonders left by Nuwa when she mended the sky is located there.

Upon arriving at the foot of the tower, Su Ming released his divine sense, found a secret passage, and gently pressed it. The passage instantly broke open, revealing the underground cave below.

Upon entering, there was a large space with a stone wall and a stone door. He walked to the stone door, rolled up his sleeves, and the originally tightly closed stone door opened by itself without any delay.

Once inside, it was pitch black and impossible to see clearly, but Su Ming continuously emitted spiritual energy from between his eyebrows and saw the scene inside the cave. This cave was larger than the one above, and it was surrounded by traps. There were a total of seventy-two large holes on the four walls, and a murderous aura was faintly visible.

He moved forward along the passage with light steps, without touching any mechanisms. Finally, at the end of the passage, he saw a glimmer of light. When he went in, his view suddenly opened up, and a wonder appeared in the cave.

Deep within the cavern, a crimson light surged forth, intensely hot, from countless churning lava flows, blood-red and awe-inspiring.

But what Su Qing saw was a cluster of brilliant white light floating above the lava, as if someone had plucked a sun and hung it there, dazzling and illuminating the underground space as bright as day.

That's amazing.

"Is this the divine stone?"

Su Qing was quite surprised. He squinted and saw that the white light contained a bowl.

On either side of that alms bowl, there are breathtaking and awe-inspiring sights.

Beneath the alms bowl lies a blood-red, fiery-hot natural lava pool, brimming with magma. Steam rises from the pool, and flames dance wildly, resembling hellfire surging up from the deepest hell.

Above the alms bowl, a stream of water, over five zhang long and more than half a zhang thick, rushed down from the top of the cave, attempting to freeze five feet above the bowl. That water, like tears that had traveled halfway and could not continue, was the Tears of the Underworld!
Just as Su Ming was marveling at the wonders of nature, a voice rang in his ears, “This is the ‘Fire of Hell’ and ‘Tears of the Underworld’ that are said to exist in folklore, and it is not the work of humankind. The Fire of Hell leads to the fire rock at the Earth’s core, while the Tears of the Underworld are caused by a gap of about half a meter in size that appeared at the bottom of West Lake, through which lake water continuously flows underground.”

"At the base of Leifeng Pagoda, there is a water column formed by a gap in West Lake. If this water column were to actually crash down into the rock pool below, the incompatibility of water and fire could easily cause a natural disaster. If the lake water continues to flow underground, the consequences would be unimaginable."

Su Ming's eyes narrowed slightly as he saw a beautiful woman appear in the cave. She wore a long white dress, was stunningly beautiful, dignified and elegant, like a lady from a noble family, gentle and virtuous, yet there was a faint sharpness between her brows, as if nothing in this world could defeat her.

Appearing on the shores of West Lake and managing to deceive his senses, there is only one woman in the world with such power: the former Demon Lord, "Bu Bai Suzhen?"

Upon hearing this title, Bu Bai Suzhen's gentle expression suddenly turned cold, and she raised an eyebrow. "It's been a long time since anyone has called me that. You can call me Demon Lord, or Bai Suzhen!"

Su Ming nodded and cupped his hands in greeting, saying, "My name is Su Ming, and I have come here for the Divine Stone."

Bai Suzhen glanced at him sideways, a hint of mockery in her eyes, "You want to take the divine stone?"

Back then, this divine stone was even refined into a bowl to ambush her, but even so, that person had no choice but to return the divine stone to its original place.

Su Ming smiled indifferently, "I naturally know the function of the divine stone. If I take the divine stone, the lake water will flow into this magma pool. This magma pool leads to the Earth's core, and its intense heat is enough to evaporate some of the lake water. However, if lake water continues to flow into the magma pool, the consequences will be unimaginable."

"Within a month, even if the lake water ultimately fails to reach the Earth's core, the magma deeper beneath this pool will inevitably be gradually cooled by the large amount of lake water, turning into rock. The once incredibly hot underground will suddenly cool down, causing the rocks beneath to contract; this rapid contraction will inevitably cause anomalies on the Earth's surface; at that time, a massive and unprecedentedly powerful earthquake will surely occur across most of China... an unprecedented catastrophe!"

"Between these two natural barriers, someone placed a divine stone between them. The special power emitted by the divine stone blocked the two natural barriers from a distance, thus stopping the disaster."

"Someone once managed to take the divine stone and use it against an enemy. Many people in the martial arts world know about the four strange stones left behind by Nuwa when she mended the sky. Even without me, someone else would have taken them in the future. Whether they would care about it then is hard to predict."

Bai Suzhen turned around and looked directly at Su Ming. "Do you have a way to solve this problem?"

Su Ming looked at the alms bowl and said in a deep voice, "Yes, the water cannot flow downwards, so it can only be blocked. The gap is not large, but there is a long channel flowing to this place. Therefore, the channel must be blocked to cut off the water flow. The best material is this magma. The stone formed by the cooling magma is enough to block the channel and the gap. Only this earth can resolve this natural disaster."

"The existence of all things in heaven and earth has its own reason. And since I took the divine stone, I naturally have to solve this problem. Every drink and every bite is the same."

Bai Suzhen fell silent. Although this person's idea was good, it would be extremely difficult to achieve. Simply put, it meant introducing the magma into the channel and making it flow upwards, while also blocking the downward flow of the West Lake water. Only when the magma blocked the channel and solidified into one, could the lake water be sealed off and stop flowing downwards.

Seeing her worried expression, Su Ming added, "I am here to save the world, not to deal with chaos. If Miss Bai is worried, you can stand by and watch. If any problems arise, it is not too late to intervene."

Although Bai Suzhen was a woman, she harbored a great ambition to save the world through demonic means. "Fine, if it doesn't work, you can forget about taking this divine stone with you."

“Miss Bai, take a good look.”

Su Ming moved like a gentle breeze to the divine stone, placing his palm on it. The alms bowl emitted a divine light that could amplify a person's power twentyfold. Although named after stone, it could transform into any shape.

He sensed a terrifying power within this stone, a power that resonated with the natural world, which explained its various extraordinary abilities. Perhaps it was related to the legendary power of Nuwa.

With a thought, Su Ming activated the Nether Sea Returning to Origin Force, and the divine stone amplified this power twentyfold. In an instant, he felt the boundless power of heaven and earth: fire energy, water energy, earth energy, primordial energy, death energy...

The moment the other party channeled their power, Bai Suzhen frowned. She realized that the person before her, who had seemed ordinary just moments before, had transformed into an extremely dangerous individual in the blink of an eye, far more terrifying than anyone she had ever seen. "Rise!"

In an instant, Su Ming could convert all the energy of heaven and earth within a hundred miles into his own power. With the help of the divine stone, the amount of power he could convert was even greater, theoretically almost limitless.

With a soft shout, the water that had been flowing into the cave suddenly surged upwards, as if the tide had receded.

Beneath West Lake, streams of water surged upwards, churning the lakebed into turbulent mud and sand, while the water that had originally flowed in could no longer enter the channel.

Seeing this, Bai Suzhen was secretly alarmed. The underground currents were winding and meandering, with large lakes and small paths, and the flowing water was immeasurable. If they were all reversed, even with the blessing of divine stones, it would be difficult to do so.

To achieve this is comparable to the legendary feat of moving mountains and filling seas.

The trickling water in the passages, caves, and crevices is controlled by a powerful force, flowing backward and leaving behind dried-up passages.

The whole process lasted for half an hour.

Once the water flow in the cave passage had been exhausted, Su Ming raised his hand and guided it. The surging magma roared like a red dragon and rushed into the remaining hole in the water vein. The rolling magma poured in wildly, constantly rising and filling the gaps in the water flow.

Under Su Ming's control, the fiery red magma filled all the gaps, large and small. During this process, the magma did not cool down and maintained its temperature and flow.

He actually managed to completely patch up the leak in the water vein.

"So strong!"

Even Bai Suzhen was stunned, watching the magma roar and surge into the sky, completely filling the gap.

"Yin and Yang reversed!"

With a flick of his hand, Su Ming unleashed a chilling heat that spread through the magma. The flowing magma cooled rapidly, then solidified, turning into stone.

When he released his palm and stopped using his internal energy, the commotion beneath West Lake gradually subsided. Even though small streams of water still flowed deep underground, they slowly merged into the soil and no longer flowed into the underground cave.

At this moment, Su Ming's face was slightly pale. This step was tantamount to changing the world. With the help of the divine stone, he did not expend much power. The Nether Sea Returning to Origin Force was originally a martial art with almost unlimited mana.

However, this process requires the use of one's primordial spirit as a guide, with mental intention controlling the water flow and magma, which is extremely mentally taxing. Without strong mental power to control the power, even the most skilled person will find it futile.

Bai Suzhen's eyes gleamed with a strange light, still unable to recover from what had just happened. She had experienced countless near-death experiences, but she had never witnessed such a scene before.

Compared to Su Ming, that immortal god was nothing. Although that person was strong, he was not without ways to deal with her. The power that Su Ming had just displayed shocked her.

What's even more remarkable is that the other party is not the kind of person who would disregard the common people for their own selfish gain. In the future, even if the other party takes the divine stone, there will be no further hidden dangers.

"Mr. Su's actions have resolved the crisis beneath West Lake and averted a future catastrophe. On behalf of all the people of China, I thank you for your help."

Su Ming reached out and grabbed the bowl that was suspended in mid-air. As he circulated his internal energy, the bowl softened instantly and turned into a puddle of liquid that landed in his palm.

Then, the pool of liquid slowly stretched out and transformed into an ancient and solemn sword.

Without the divine stone to suppress it, the magma underground continued to surge upwards, and it wouldn't be long before it filled the entire cave. But even if it reached the surface and formed a volcano, it wouldn't affect the earth's crust deep underground. Not to mention, the soil below was still tens of meters deep, making it difficult for the magma to break through. At most, it would slowly rise, then solidify and turn into rock.

After doing all this, Su Ming turned his gaze to Bai Suzhen. "It's alright, Miss Bai, you're too kind. This is just a little personal desire of mine. There are still many people who are truly working hard for the common people. There will be a great calamity in the future, so I hope you will prepare for it as soon as possible."

Bai Suzhen, who had always been concerned with saving the world, immediately asked upon hearing this, "The Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns? I have heard of it before. Do you know what the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns is?"

Su Ming reached out and flicked the blade, producing a cold, sharp sound. He couldn't help but smile with satisfaction. "In my opinion, the so-called Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns is actually a Calamity of Immortality, a catastrophe caused by those who achieve immortality through martial arts or other opportunities. Their lifespan is measured in centuries. If they were solely focused on martial arts, it would be fine, but unfortunately, they are not."

Bai Suzhen muttered these words, then seemed to understand something, "The Tribulation of Immortality?"

Once, her husband, the immortal god of the Bu clan, established the Search for Gods Palace because of his enormous ambition, and even fought against the major sect leaders of the Central Plains.

They are currently hiding in the shadows, and no one knows what they are plotting.

Su Ming continued, “In this world, people are born unequal, which is an innate factor. Wealth and status are determined by fate, but if even life and death cannot be equal, the world will naturally fall into chaos.”

If the world of Fengyun had a mechanism like that of the Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty that could shatter the void, there might not be such a mess as the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns.

Of course, there might be a game being played by the god who created this world behind the scenes, but that's something that happens a long time from now.

"Living long represents not only wealth and wisdom, but also power. If people have power and live long, how can the world not be in chaos?"

Putting everything else aside, just look at the things that happened in Japan. It was all caused by Xiao Sanxiao's family. Otherwise, what right would Japan have to invade China? Without the backing of the Great Demon God and his gang, they wouldn't have been able to do it even in a thousand years.

Putting everything else aside, the Bu clan alone is enough to give them a run for their money. They produce a god every few hundred years. A family like that, are you scared yet?

Not to mention, every god looks exactly like Bu Jingyun, which makes it even more terrifying.
