Curtains of rain poured down from the heavens, painting China in a scene that was at once solemn, majestic, and as beautiful as a living masterpiece.
The landscape of the western region continued to transform as the climate rapidly became more humid. Across the vast Loess Plateau, dense networks of waterways crisscrossed the land, while countless lakes dotted the terrain, rivaling even the abundance found in southern China.
Among them, a particularly massive water vein shone brilliantly.
It stretched endlessly into the distance, winding in countless bends like a labyrinth. Its waters were still muddy, yet the river continued to widen and deepen, resembling a colossal dragon running through the entire landscape like the central meridian of a grand painting of mountains and seas.
That yellow dragon was none other than the Yellow River.
At this moment, Lu Mei, standing in the Ancient Capital, took a deep breath.
"It's our turn now."
Buzz!
Ding Yumian nodded solemnly.
A vast silver sun rose from between her brows, releasing boundless spiritual power that flowed into Lu Mei, empowering her.
Lu Mei's graceful figure ascended into the air, transforming into the very incarnation of the Earth Goddess.
Above her floated the Vast Eye, radiating a warm, earthy golden light.
In the next instant, the immense western lands began to tremble violently as earth-shattering changes unfolded.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The yellow plateau, once scarred with countless ravines and gullies, seemed to be kneaded by a pair of gentle yet skillful hands.
Layer after layer of earthen waves rolled across the land.
The ugly scars covering the earth slowly healed, gradually flattening into vast stretches of level ground.
The sand and rocks began to melt.
Rich magical energy gathered together, transforming into fertile black soil that stretched for thousands of miles, no longer barren or loose.
Meanwhile, the Yellow River in the north, swollen with an overwhelming volume of water and on the verge of flooding, was firmly restrained within its riverbanks by the endless sturdy earth surrounding it.
At the same time, the billions of tons of sediment and yellow earth carried within the river were forcibly extracted, becoming the raw materials used to repair the lands of the northwest.
Little by little the violent muddy Yellow River shed its yellow hue.
Its waters turned pale.
Never before had it been so crystal clear.
The once-rampaging river was completely tamed into a gentle, snow-white waterway with abundant flow, almost restored to the glory of its ancient peak.
Only such a river deserved to be called the Mother River of China.
No.
Back then, it had been known simply as the Long River, beautiful and crystal clear.
Elsewhere at the heart of the Loess Plateau, a colossal sacred azure flower blossomed.
Standing atop its petals was a graceful figure dressed in a long gown woven from sacred azure vines.
The Queen of the Sacred Flower calmly swept her gaze across the several human Forbidden Curse Mages before her.
Looking toward Yong Zun, who stood at the front, she said.
"It's time to begin."
Upon witnessing the miraculous transformation of mountains and rivers, Yong Zun's expression became complicated.
Although Lu Jun had killed his most outstanding disciple.
He had to admit that Lu Jun had rendered immeasurable service to China.
Such a monumental achievement had no equal in history.
Whether anyone could ever surpass it remained to be seen.
He nodded.
"Very well."
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The Plant Element Forbidden Curse Mages gathered around the Sacred Flower and unleashed an unprecedented combined Plant Forbidden Curse.
A boundless force shot into the heavens, tearing open the sky as endless emerald radiance descended, overflowing with vibrant life.
An enormous emerald-green world of divine trees unfolded.
Towering sacred pines spread their colossal canopies, creating an endless forest realm composed entirely of intertwining branches, trunks, ancient vines, and gigantic leaves.
It truly blotted out the sky.
Countless trees and vines spread endlessly, weaving through the rich earth beneath.
Seedling after seedling broke through the soil.
The sea of green continued expanding toward the horizon.
The entire western land trembled.
The nutrients within the soil and the immense quantities of water were continuously absorbed, becoming the driving force behind the rapid expansion of vegetation.
Viewed from the heavens the magnificent yellow landscape of mountains and rivers transformed again and again.
A layer of emerald green rapidly spread across the golden earth.
The land became covered in lush greenery and deep blue waters, completely opposite to the desolate landscape of the past.
Now every corner of China had become a seamless world of emerald and azure.
Boundless vitality flourished.
Unprecedented faith and life energy rose into the heavens, forming a storm of sparkling lights that drifted eastward.
Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!
At that very moment.
Lu Jun's consciousness wandered through the void, reflecting everything within his mind.
An indescribable sense of perfection and immeasurable merit suddenly arose within him.
Inside his Spiritual World, the milky-white and azure Half-Forbidden Curse Star Oceans trembled violently.
The immense torrents of faith and life force pouring in merged into them.
His Life Element and Psychic Element resonated together.
The milky-white Star Bridge became increasingly sacred and solid.
The azure Star Bridge became increasingly transparent and ethereal.
Driven by limitless power, thousands of stars leaped across the bridge, reaching the opposite shore of the starry universe and illuminating tens of thousands of new stars in both colors.
He could clearly feel both his Life Calamity Talent and his Fantasy Imprint evolving.
The former originated from the Third-Level Super Spell, Genesis • Inheriting the World.
He had never expected that the monumental achievement of restoring the northwest would perfectly fulfill the conditions for becoming a World Tree capable of supporting heaven and earth, earning boundless feedback from the beautiful land of the western region that had once again become filled with hope.
The latter stemmed from the Fantasy Technique absorbing the power of faith.
Because of this unparalleled achievement.
The admiration of over a billion people generated a force greater than the heavens themselves, descending upon him across vast distances.
Yet it still wasn't enough.
A smile appeared on Lu Jun's face.
He decided to reveal the identity hidden beneath the mask of the Ancient King.
At this moment, over Magic City with the countless trillions of tons of seawater contained within the monstrous tidal wave having already been diverted toward the west, the sea hanging above the heavens had completely disappeared.
In its place remained a clear sky stretching for thousands of miles.
The air, washed clean by the heavenly waterfall, had become exceptionally pure.
The sky resembled a magnificent piece of emerald jade embedded within the heavens.
Along the coastline, the tides receded.
The endless ocean visibly shrank.
What emerged from beneath the retreating sea was no longer the seabed.
It was the earth itself.
The melting Antarctic glaciers had released immeasurable quantities of pure freshwater into the world's oceans, forcibly raising sea levels.
Then, the Eye of Sea and the Eye of the Tide controlled by the Cold Lunar Eye Demon God had gathered all of that water above Magic City.
They could truly be called nature's greatest transporters.
Had those two not worked together in succession, Lu Jun would never have dared boast about restoring the western regions.
He genuinely had to thank the two Demon Emperors for such an incredible gift.
This single act was enough to ensure the prosperity of western China for several thousand years.
If managed carefully and maintained properly, it could even sustain the land for over ten thousand years.
Meanwhile, high above the battlefield.
Lu Jun, who had directly endured the Cold Lunar Eye Demon God's supreme demonic spell, now had only a dazzling, solid Immortal Ascension Soul standing in place.
Around it floated scattered flesh and bones overflowing with abundant life essence, resembling a shattered belt of stars suspended in space.
Just as Chairman Han Wu and the other Forbidden Curse Mages began worrying.
Their pupils suddenly contracted violently.
An earthquake shook their hearts.
"T... This... How is this possible?!"
A thick tide of pitch-black aura of annihilation surged from the surface of Lu Jun's radiant soul.
It rapidly condensed into a majestic suit of black-and-gold armor that enveloped his entire body.
Netherworld radiance shot into the heavens, piercing the clouds as it projected an ominous Underworld Kingdom stretching across countless millions of miles.
He stood there like the King of the Underworld.
Like a supreme demonic god overlooking all creation.
"The Undead Emperor of the Ancient Capital the Ancient King?!"
"Lu Jun is the Ancient King?!"
Even Principal Xiao could not suppress his shock.
That appearance was simply too unforgettable.
It had wreaked havoc in the Parthenon.
It had participated in Su Lu's death.
Its existence had shaken the entire magic world.
No one could possibly forget that figure.
At the same time the countless major factions observing this battle through every conceivable method were equally stunned.
The Ancient King, who had once rampaged across the magic world and whom even the Holy City had failed to suppress.
Was actually China's hero Lu Jun?!
At that very moment even the tens of millions of citizens of Magic City felt their entire worldview collapse.
Meanwhile, countless evildoers burst into celebration, laughter, and even tears.
The Black Vatican had been annihilated by Lu Jun.
Yet the Ancient King, a being who embodied an even greater darkness than the end of all evil turned out to be Lu Jun himself?!
It was simply unbelievable.
