Running A Cemetery in North America-Chapter 475 - 327: The Only Immortal of the End of Dharma Era (Grand Finale)
Boom!
The moment the Mountain-Cracking Axe struck the head of the Queen Mother of the West, her body, already covered in cracks, could no longer endure.
Instantly, it shattered, and numerous fragments scattered to the ground.
Sun Yan, however, did not relax in the slightest, instead feeling even more alarmed.
Was it really destroyed just like that?
Did the ancient deity Queen Mother of the West die just like that?
Those fragments suddenly began to move without any wind, intertwining and swirling, as if a whirlwind was forming on the ground.
The fragmented body of the Queen Mother of the West recombined, transforming into a woman.
She had loose hair adorned with kingfisher feathers and tiger-like teeth, her divine eyes fixated on Sun Yan as if nothing had happened just moments ago.
"Honestly, even if the Celestial Court's immortal families ganged up on me back then, they wouldn't have been my match. It's laughable that you think, with just one immortal and a few avatars, you can shake my foundation."
The Queen Mother of the West shook her head helplessly, her tone revealing scorn and disdain for Sun Yan.
Having resided on Kunlun Hill for so many years and surviving since the time of the Classic of Mountains and Seas, naturally, the Queen Mother of the West was not easily dealt with.
Sun Yan had anticipated this, and thus was not too surprised or panicked to see the Queen Mother of the West assume another form and reappear.
He simply summoned the Mountain-Cracking Axe once more.
"If I can break your immortal body once, I can break it a second time. I shall see if you truly possess an undying body," Sun Yan shouted loudly.
"..."
The Queen Mother of the West remained silent, only a bit more coldness added to her gaze.
Back then, they had arrived on this desolate planet via a mothership, under the instructions of their home star, to conduct species creation experiments.
This was why so many strangely shaped divine beasts, monsters, and half-human, half-beast species and deities were born in ancient times.
All of that was part of the experiment plan.
Some were failures, some were finished products with potential worth observing.
As creators, when crafting genes, for security reasons, they had already embedded termination mechanisms within the genes.
As long as the Queen Mother of the West willed it, she could easily cause the genetic destruction or continuation of any life.
This is the true secret behind why the Queen Mother of the West holds the elixir of immortality!
It's like altering game data; extending an NPC's lifespan is merely a matter of a programmer modifying a string of code.
And similarly, making an NPC disappear is just a matter of the Queen Mother's whim.
She had stayed on this planet for far too long, to the point of fatigue.
The seal imposed by the celestial immortals cut off the Queen Mother of the West's means of signaling her mothership.
Therefore, she must break the seal to attract the mothership's arrival and then return to her home star aboard it.
From Sun Yan's perspective, once the seal is broken, the world would face a terrifying invasion by those Longevity Species.
No one is truly at fault; it's just a matter of differing stances.
But as a member of the Human Race, Sun Yan had to stand for his position.
Seeing Sun Yan once again wield the Mountain-Cracking Axe, the Queen Mother of the West had completely lost her patience.
Despite becoming an immortal, in her eyes, Sun Yan appeared as weak as a moth.
The only effect he could have was to be annoying.
In this kind of situation, naturally, one needs to be swatted away.
Slap!
Pointing at Sun Yan from afar, the Queen Mother of the West seemed to freeze time itself.
Sun Yan's entire body froze, his heart suddenly stopping; through introspection, his heart appeared to melt away like plastic foam in flames.
"Sun Yan!"
The True Monarch of Pure Origin and Mysterious Dao exclaimed in shock. If Sun Yan were to die, all hope would be lost.
Before his eyes, Sun Yan's life force was rapidly dissipating, on an irreversible trend.
—
Void, darkness, despair.
Sun Yan felt his consciousness continually descending, falling.
Plunging into a boundless abyss.
"Wake up, don't fall asleep."
At that moment, a gentle call suddenly resonated in Sun Yan's ear.
Almost instinctively, he opened his eyes. Were there other people in this place?
In the darkness, a golden light suddenly appeared, and Sun Yan focused his gaze but couldn't clearly see the figure.
"Who are you?" Sun Yan asked in bewilderment.
"Wake up, don't fall asleep."
The golden light approached slowly, getting closer and closer.
This was when Sun Yan finally discerned the figure, a gigantic form.
She possessed the gentle grace of a female and the grandeur of a deity, akin to a gentle Mother Goddess, exuding warmth at first sight.
Her body was human, but her tail was serpentine, and Sun Yan's mind instantly recalled a name known to all.
Nüwa!
The Classic of the Great Wilderness - The Western Classic: "There are ten deities, known as the Intestines of Nüwa, transformed into deities, residing in the wilderness of Liguang, dwelling across the road."
The Questions of Heaven from the Songs of Chu: "Who established and honored the ascension to the throne? Who crafted the body of Nüwa?"
The View on Obscurities from the Huainanzi: "In ancient times, the four extremities collapsed, Kyushu fragmented, the sky didn't fully cover, the earth didn't fully bear, fire blazed unceasingly, waters raged endlessly, fierce beasts devoured the innocent, predatory birds snatched the old and weak. Then, Nüwa melted five-colored stones to mend the azure sky, severed the feet of a giant turtle to stabilize the four extremities, exterminated the black dragon to relieve Jizhou, piled up reed ash to halt the floodwaters. As the azure sky was mended, the extremities rectified, floodwaters receded, Jizhou leveled, vicious creatures perished, people thrived. Turning her back to the land, embracing the rounded sky. Harmonizing spring and summer, punishing autumn and winter, resting on square pillows, snoring stretched out, clearing the blockages of yin and yang; ceasing malevolent forces and threatening phenomena that harm peoples' prosperity; at that time, lying down casually, waking leisurely, identifying as a horse, identifying as a cow, strolling dubiously, gazing drowsily; all found harmony, knowing not how they came to be, wandering without purpose, the phantoms unaware of their destinations. At this time, the birds, beasts, and venomous snakes hid their claws, jaws, and poison, devoid of any intention to seize and devour. Examining her feats, reaching the nine heavens above, connecting with the Yellow Earth below, her name resounded in posterity, an aura illuminating all creatures. Driving thunder carriages, harnessing flying dragons, with azure chi dragons, raising rare auspices, seated on liana diagrams, clothed in yellow clouds, followed by white serpents, and pursued by running snakes, floating and swaying, invoking spirits, ascending the nine heavens, morning court at the spiritual gate, resting under the Great Ancestor. Yet, not proclaiming her feats, nor boasting of her fame, hiding the ways of the real, to align with the heavens and the earth's natural claims."
