Chapter 1849: 1,174 Gonggong with fluctuating luck_2

As far as the eye can see, this is a vast sea of Chaos, composed of endless Chaos Qi.

In many people’s impressions, the ruins of Mount Buzhou should be a vast land, with a fractured giant mountain standing upon it.

When Mount Buzhou first shattered, it was indeed like this. But not long after, endless Chaos Qi gushed from the base of Mount Buzhou, submerging and gradually eroding the remnants of the mountain.

The sages tried many methods, but none could stop the Chaos Qi from pouring out. In the end, they had no choice but to use Gonggong as a plug, stuffing him into the Eye of the Chaos Sea to finally halt the spread of the Chaos Qi.

However, half of the ruins of Mount Buzhou were destroyed as a result. Over the long ages, the remaining part was gradually consumed by the Chaos Qi.

Over time, the ruins of Mount Buzhou turned from a vast land into a vast sea of Chaos.

“Under normal circumstances, with Gonggong blocking the Eye of the Chaos Sea, there shouldn’t be any Chaos Qi overflowing from here.”

“Now, the ruins of Mount Buzhou have directly transformed into a sea of Chaos, which shows that the Eye of the Chaos Sea beneath Mount Buzhou has expanded greatly since the beginning, preventing Gonggong from plugging it entirely.”

The shocking situation here clearly indicates that the Chaos World is not as stable as it appears on the surface, proving to be fraught with danger everywhere.

A slight carelessness could lead to disaster.

No wonder Jiang Chen had so many Great Divine Transcendents supporting him when he decided to reshape Mount Buzhou.

There was no way not to support him; the Chaos World beneath them was like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment. Living in such a place, who could feel at ease? Naturally, they are eager to repair it.

Reshaping the Chaos World is indeed the trend of the times. Otherwise, with the current condition of the Chaos World, no one knows when it might sink and be consumed by the endless sea of Chaos.

“Gonggong, wake up…”

Stepping towards the center of the sea of Chaos, Jiang Chen called out while looking down.

His voice wasn’t loud, yet it echoed continuously in this place. Even the vast and profound sea of Chaos couldn’t block his voice, which reached all the way to its depths, into Gonggong’s ears.

In the deepest part of the sea of Chaos, there’s a giant hole, constantly spewing out Chaos Qi.

This is the Eye of the Chaos Sea, one of the greatest hidden dangers of the Chaos World. If one day the Prehistoric World were to collapse, this would be one of the main causes.

After calling for half a day without any response, Jiang Chen simply dived into the depths of the sea of Chaos, and everything there came clearly into Jiang Chen’s view.

In the Eye of the Chaos Sea, a terrifying demon god with a snake head and human body, covered in black scales, used his body to fill it.

His body was massive, millions upon millions of miles tall, with an indeterminate width. Though the Eye of the Chaos Sea is large, when he jumped in, it was almost entirely plugged, except for a few tiny gaps.

This person is Gonggong, the Ancestor of Water among the Twelve Ancestral Witches.

From this perspective, with Gonggong blocking here, the Eye of the Chaos Sea should have been completely blocked.

But in reality, it’s not the case, because from an unknown time, many large cracks appeared in the peripheral areas of the Eye of the Chaos Sea.

Gonggong could block the sea eye but couldn’t block these cracks. The Chaos Qi that turned this place into a sea of Chaos is coming from these cracks.

“These cracks formed later. Likely due to the Investiture of the Gods War, causing the Chaos World to shatter again, further expanding the Eye of the Chaos Sea.”

“Originally able to stay awake, Gonggong was directly heavily injured by the dual impact of Chaos Qi and the power of world destruction, forced to fall into slumber to barely maintain the seal as the price.”

Jiang Chen approached, finding Gonggong’s head tilted on the ground, eyes tightly closed, no breath at all, as if dead.

He hasn’t perished; this is a secret technique, using slumber as the price to forcibly enhance his strength. Gonggong used this method, giving his all to suppress the Chaos Qi beneath him.

It seems quite miserable, but there’s nothing to pity. It’s his own doing, he must swallow it even if with tears. Finding himself in such a predicament, he has only himself to blame.

“Without me, Gonggong is likely to indirectly die by the hands of Sanqing and the two Saints of the West.”

Carefully observing the surroundings, Jiang Chen found himself at a loss for words.

Before the outbreak of the Enshrinement Calamity, Gonggong’s days here must have been more joyful than painful.

The corrosion of Chaos Qi and the attacks of destructive power certainly caused him immense pain. But because of this, his strength continuously increased.

For a cultivator, if bearing pain alone could lead to cultivation improvement, countless would eagerly seek it.

So, Gonggong must have been joyful.

But this joy, with the outbreak of the Enshrinement Calamity, came to an end.

After the Enshrinement Calamity, the Chaos World further fragmented, and the power of Mount Buzhou’s ruins thoroughly exceeded what Gonggong could endure. Hence, Gonggong’s joy vanished, leaving only pain.

He could no longer improve his strength through the nearby powers; instead, his Original Source was being gradually eroded by Chaos Qi.

In this situation, without Jiang Chen, Gonggong could at most hold on for another ten thousand years before inevitably perishing. But Jiang Chen came, bringing new life to Gonggong.

“Gonggong, wake up!”

Gently approaching, Jiang Chen used his divine ability to draw a wisp of creation essence from the Creation Green Lotus, infusing it into Gonggong’s body.

Immediately, Gonggong, who previously had no breath, began to breathe gradually. Then, he struggled to open his eyes and weakly asked, “Who is calling me?”

After speaking, he once again fell into slumber.

“The injuries are so severe; were it someone else, they might have already perished.”

Gonggong’s opening his mouth confirmed to Jiang Chen that his state was truly at the brink, held by sheer will. Should this will dissipate, he would perish.

Thinking it over, Jiang Chen took out Pangu’s Heart. Instantly, a loud heartbeat resounded, generating a mysterious power that, with the pulse of Pangu’s Heart, gradually converged towards Gonggong.

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Not long after, Gonggong’s chest began to rise and fall slightly. His heart, influenced by Pangu’s Heart, began to beat once more.

Then, from an unknown source, a force surged, and Gonggong, who was in slumber, suddenly opened his eyes, sitting up abruptly.

“The breath of Father God!”

“It’s Father God’s heart, has Hengming come?”

“No, leave quickly, there are hidden hands left by the Chaos Demigod here, quickly take Father God’s heart and leave.”

Upon opening his eyes, Gonggong, seeing the Pangu’s Heart floating before him, first rejoiced, then, as if recalling something, suddenly shouted in terror, urging Jiang Chen to quickly leave with Pangu’s Heart.

“Chaos Demigod?”

Hearing this, Jiang Chen was startled, hastily putting away Pangu’s Heart, then looking cautiously around, wary of the sudden emergence of a Chaos Demigod.

“What exactly happened? Why is Ancestor Witch Gonggong so panicked?”

After waiting for a while with no sign of a Chaos Demigod, Jiang Chen, while remaining vigilant, asked Gonggong.

“Who are you, and why is the Heart of Father God in your possession?”

Gonggong didn’t answer his question but instead cautiously asked back.

At this moment, Gonggong’s state is unprecedentedly good, seemingly returning to his peak, filled with endless energy.

Hmm, it’s the radiance before death.

Even with the extraordinary Pangu’s Heart, it’s impossible to heal Gonggong’s injuries with just a few beats. It merely tapped into Gonggong’s potential, pushing him into this radiant state.

“I am here on the behest of Mother Earth to reshape Mount Buzhou.”

Jiang Chen didn’t say these words aloud, but conveyed them directly into Gonggong’s heart through Pangu’s Heart, explaining the purpose of his visit.

With Gonggong having mentioned there are ghosts here and possibly a hidden Chaos Demigod, Jiang Chen wouldn’t dare to openly declare the reshaping of Mount Buzhou. Thus, he communicated with Gonggong through Pangu’s Heart.
