National Guardian's Gone and We're Done
Chapter 248 - 247: Shiva Descends Amidst the Resplendent Glow Across the Sky
"Whoa, look at that! What kind of earth-shattering commotion is the White Elephant Empire kicking up now?"
"Hey, didn’t Chu He already kill one of the White Elephant Empire’s Supreme Gods? Why is another one popping up now? Don’t tell me that Vishnu guy came back to life?"
"Hahaha, you guys are just pathetic.
Let me tell you, the White Elephant Empire has three Supreme Gods like Vishnu.
See that brilliant radiance filling the sky? That’s the sign of our other two Supreme Gods reviving. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂
And I have some news for you Great Xia Empire folks that will drive you to despair: these two Supreme Gods are awakening in their absolute prime."
"Oh, really? ’In their absolute prime,’ you say?
You guys in the White Elephant Empire hyped up that Vishnu to be some kind of legend,
but in the end, didn’t our Great Xia’s Chu He beat him so badly he didn’t know what hit him? Now his body is who-knows-where, hahahaha."
"All you people from the Great Xia Empire can do is run your mouths and act tough online. Chu He and your Defense Team have already set foot in the White Elephant Empire’s territory. Just you wait and see how we take care of you."
A flood of accounts with IP addresses from the White Elephant Empire appeared in the livestream chat.
The magnificent spectacle unfolding at the Divine Hall,
like a prairie fire, had massively boosted the confidence of the White Elephant Empire’s citizens.
One by one, they eagerly awaited the outbreak of a great war.
They all remembered how, under the watchful eyes of the world,
the White Elephant Empire’s Supreme God, Vishnu, had descended upon the lands of the White-Red Empire,
only to be slain by Chu He with devastating ease.
After that battle, the morale of the entire White Elephant Empire had plummeted to an all-time low.
Although some still tried to save face by taunting other empires online, it was all just bluster.
Now, however, the situation was completely different.
The immense radiance and ethereal Brahma chants bursting from the Divine Hall, the shocking scene of a deity’s descent,
had already sent shockwaves across all of Blue Star.
Such a breathtaking spectacle was extremely rare on this planet.
Currently, the entire sky above the White Elephant Empire was shrouded in magnificent radiance.
The glow was like a dreamlike veil of light, making the whole of the White Elephant Empire resemble a divine Paradise.
This clearly proved that the power of the Supreme God awakening in the White Elephant Empire this time
was far beyond what the previous Vishnu could ever compare to.
...
"Something’s happening in the sky. Is this the White Elephant Empire’s doing?"
Gao Liceng, sitting in the SUV, stared intently into the distance.
The seven-colored radiance was like a surging ocean tide, rippling out from the distant horizon. It spread with incredible speed, like layers of waves.
In just a few breaths, the radiance had already spread across the sky above their SUV, casting down hazy and mysterious beams of light.
"This Supreme Divinity is so dense!"
Chu He’s Spiritual Power spread out like a tidal wave.
He immediately sensed that this seven-colored radiance was no natural phenomenon but an external manifestation of immense power.
"So this is the power of Supreme Divinity?"
Hearing Chu He’s words, Nalan Fengshan’s excitement was palpable.
He couldn’t wait to roll down the window and stick his head out.
The rushing wind slammed against his face, but he paid it no mind.
He just stared wide-eyed at the vibrant, colorful radiance in the sky.
This was the very reason he had come on this journey.
Nalan Fengshan was filled with hope that he could obtain that supreme and sacred power to awaken Shan Lihui from her deep sleep.
"Don’t underestimate the power of Supreme Divinity. It’s not something you can just get your hands on easily.
First, you have to kill the deity who wields that power.
If I’m not mistaken, one of the two remaining Supreme Gods of the White Elephant Empire is reviving this time."
Yumizakura paused for a moment before adding, "It’s even possible that both of them are reviving."
"Deities?" Upon hearing this, Nalan Fengshan’s face fell. He instinctively glanced toward Chu He, who was sitting in the back seat.
"Don’t panic. Stay calm," Chu He said, shaking his head gently.
Seeing Nalan Fengshan’s expression, Yumizakura couldn’t help but feel a sense of glee.
Ever since the day Nalan Fengshan had restricted her, she had been holding a grudge against him.
Nalan Fengshan scratched his head and asked blankly, "Who are the White Elephant Empire’s other two Supreme Gods? I don’t know anything about their mythology."
Although Yumizakura was annoyed with Nalan Fengshan, she still explained, "The White Elephant Empire has a total of three Supreme Gods: Brahma Heaven, Shiva, and Vishnu.
Mr. Chu has already slain Vishnu, so that only leaves Brahma Heaven and Shiva. I just don’t know which one is responsible for all this radiance in the sky."
The moment her voice fell, the air around them seemed to freeze solid.
Immediately after, the once-serene sky was shattered by an unprecedented, bizarre spectacle.
High in the sapphire-blue firmament,
a magnificent, seven-colored vortex quietly appeared.
The vortex spun at a steady, unhurried pace, exuding an air of solemnity. Each brilliant color seemed to contain unfathomable energy, as if it were a convergence of the universe’s most mysterious forces.
Just as everyone held their breath in suspense, staring without blinking,
a seven-colored beam of light, so brilliant it was almost blinding, shot out violently from the center of the vortex.
The beam was like a brushstroke from a Celestial God, drawing a straight pillar of light through the void.
The pillar seemed to pierce the heavens, soaring past the clouds before landing firmly upon the earth.
This pillar of light was not just a wondrous interplay of light and shadow; it was more like an invisible bridge,
connecting this mortal world with that distant, mysterious realm—the Divine Country!
As the pillar of light descended, an extremely intense wave of energy rippled out from the ground.
The surrounding grass and trees trembled incessantly, as if sensing some terrifying power.
Even the air itself seemed to grow heavy and sacred in that moment.
Then, a tall, imposing figure with an extraordinary aura slowly walked out from the pillar of light.
His appearance was like a giant boulder thrown into a calm lake, sending shockwaves through the entire world.
The figure had three eyes and four arms, each hand tightly gripping a different Divine Artifact, such as a Trident, a Divine Conch, a Water Jar, and a Drum.
He was draped in a battle robe meticulously crafted from precious animal hides, which seemed to still carry the scent of ancient battlefields.
His entire body was smeared with mysterious ash, which contained a mystical power.
On his head, a crescent moon rested like a supremely noble crown, emitting a soft and mysterious glow.
His hair was carefully coiled into a horn-like topknot, adorned with a symbol of the Ganges River, each strand carrying its wisdom and power.
A lively snake was coiled around his neck, its eyes glinting with an eerie light.
His mount was a majestic and incredibly sacred great white bull.
The great white bull, treading on auspicious clouds, slowly stepped into this land bathed in divine light.
The bull’s eyes shone with wisdom and compassion, and its every step was steady and powerful.
At that moment, the surrounding space was filled with eight colors of light representing earth, water, fire, wind, ether, the sun, the moon, and the sacrificer.
These lights intertwined, forming a magnificent, solemn, and mysterious tapestry.
"That’s Shiva."
Yumizakura’s pupils contracted sharply.
She knew that even though she possessed Divine Power, she was still being completely and utterly suppressed in Shiva’s presence.
The Divine Power within Yumizakura was merely of an ordinary grade,
whereas the power contained within the figure of Shiva before them was of the highest tier, even among Supreme Divinity.
This was a Supreme God revered by millions upon millions in the White Elephant Empire.
How could someone like Yumizakura possibly stand against him?
This feeling of powerlessness and defeat was even stronger than what she had felt when facing Nalan Fengshan. A deep sense of despair enveloped her.
Nalan Fengshan scratched his head and said in confusion, "How is Shiva a man? I thought the name sounded feminine."
