Its crimson eyes were like blood.

Some of them flew up high, opening their mouths to catch the black snow and swallowing it greedily.
>
Some gusts, like arrows, pierced the black tide, only to collapse into it in an instant.
And more, like raindrops, fell onto the divine light shield—
Slap! Slap! Slap!

Flesh and blood turned to mud.
Become a bunch of black round pancakes!
Each black circle has a crimson dot in its very center. Like an eye, it stares coldly at everyone.

These red-eyed ravens, that crawled out from the chaotic womb, were also utterly mad.
It seems like he's exploring different ways to die.
In the blink of an eye, thousands of black discs plastered onto the top of the divine light canopy, like patches of dog skin plaster. There was a sense of evil and strangeness amidst the ugliness.
“What’s going on” Zuo Guangshu murmured.
"Go back to the mountain path," Wang Changji said, turning and walking up the mountain path.
"Fall back!" Jiang Wang shouted: "All retreat to the mountain path!"
Behind the ancient stone tablet lay a winding mountain path.
All the people were gathered before the stone tablet, in the open space at the foot of Mount Zhongshan.
The main body of the central mountain was always shrouded in a shadow, making it difficult to see clearly.
Even though the enormous divine light covered Mount Central completely, its height and width were immeasurable.

But at the end of the divine light's radiance, one could not see the peak of Mount Central.
It seemed that when you looked at that place, it disappeared. And no one questioned this.
It disappeared from sight, and also from imagination.
Perhaps only by holding the jade bi, walking to the end of the mountain path, and truly entering the central mountain, can one see the true face of this mountain.
At this moment, the divine light covering the dome was being increasingly overlaid with "raven cakes," and the brilliant radiance was being desecrated. A crowd of people hurried up the mountain path, three steps at a time, two steps at a time.
Fang Hèlíng looked up again.
Just as I was looking, a snowflake the size of a leaf fell down, landing right on top of the black disc, and then... it fell into the divine light shield!
The divine light shield remained unbroken, but with this "Crow Cake" existing, it was already as good as useless!
If flying snow can enter, then black tides can certainly enter as well.
Even the Black Tide can enter, those powerful Divine Realm aberrations, including the Primordial Chaos Entity, are naturally nothing to speak of.
The Central Mountain is almost breached! Even with the Divine Light still present, even with the monstrous beasts belonging to both sides still facing off within the Black Tide...
What happens next when Chaos invades the Central Mountain
On the mountain path, a chilling silence hung in the air.

No one is sure they could defeat the primordial chaos's true form in battle, but everyone was prepared to fight.
>
"Oh."
Just then, a sigh suddenly rang out. It was so ethereal yet so close, as if... it sighed right into your ear.
Everyone who heard the sigh felt a shiver run down their spine. Perhaps it was an illusion, but in a room full of the strong, how could they possibly be mistaken
The peak of the Central Mountain had always been hidden.
After that sigh, it became clear.
and also showed people a powerful being on top of the mountain, with a human face and a snake's body, all red.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
It had a huge, crimson python-like body, coiling around the mountain. It also had a kind, old woman's face, its wrinkles filled with the marks of time, and in its deep eyes, there was an understanding of worldly affairs.
It perched atop the peak of Mount Central, as if reigning from its throne.
Its gaze swept across the land, as if surveying its subjects.
It is the Nine Yin Scriptures.
The central mountain, it turns out, is Zhongshan.
The top limit of the Divine Light Canopy was almost at a point where Zhú Jiǔyīn could reach with just a lift of his body.
But Zhu Jiu Yin's ascent never ceased, and the divine light enveloping him showed no sign of ending.
This is a ridiculous visual illusion.
The divine light enshrouds Mount Central, so the Gu sculpture standing atop it, and the Chaos on its back, should be positioned above Zhu Jiuyin at the peak of Mount Central.
But Zhú Jiǔyīn, entrenched there, looked down upon the chaos.
It appeared after a sigh, and made no move.
Outside the divine light's shield, golden light surged and blazed, flowing like water, it swept away all the "crow cakes" that were knocked out by the red-eyed crows.
It was as simple as sweeping away a few fallen leaves.
The entire divine light shield was once again radiant and brand new, possessing an unbreakable quality.
And the chaos on Gu Di's feathered back, with Zhu Jiu Yin at this time, was only separated by a layer of golden light.

How close is this distance.
...and seemed even more distant.
"You're here!" Chaos' voice was filled with delight, as if they had been reunited with a dear old friend.
Zhu Jiu Yin responded with a voice aged beyond years, "To nurture evil with your soul, to carry darkness within your womb, is this your reliance, Chaos"
“You can’t disappear from me.” Chaos said with a mischievous grin, his voice like that of a playful child.
"You can't disappear from me." it emphasized again.
Zhu Jiuyin's face suddenly turned, transforming into the countenance of a middle-aged man radiating authority. His voice also became majestic and powerful: "Back then, in the realm of Shan Hai Fen Yu, I plunged Ji Yuan into despair. By sealing your five senses, severing your physical form, and shattering your thoughts, I had already accomplished my mission! Yet, who would have thought that after nine hundred years of cyclical change, you, with an unyielding heart and unbroken ambitions, could still reach this point today It truly fills me with awe!"
“Hee hee hee, torment me like this, are you a demon, or a ghost, or a monster…” The chaotic laughter instantly choked back, replaced by a growl of hatred from his throat: "You dare claim credit for this!"

“To maintain order in this world is the greatest achievement.” Zhu Jiu Yin said in a solemn voice.
The more tranquil, the more majestic.

The angrier one becomes, the more evident their frustration.
While they communicate in Daoist language, it is also a collision of "Dao".
"The Way" is warfare.
But then, the sky was filled with flying snow, one side already black, the other white.
Black snow fell into the black tide, merging with it. White snow landed on the divine light shield, making it even more radiant.
The subtle collision occurred in the tiny details, gradually spreading from the layer of gold where they faced each other to the entire Central Mountain and the entire Sea of Mountains.
The two strongest in this world, who have battled for over nine hundred years, today, at this time, enter their final chapter.
A bolt of lightning suddenly appeared and then silently vanished.
A hurricane was about to form, but suddenly it swirled and dissipated gently.

The snow, black and white all over the sky, surprisingly shows a kind of romance and tranquility.
However, the danger lurking within can be seen from those monstrous beasts retreating constantly amidst the dark tide and the fading phantoms of divine residences.
Yue Tiannu clasped her hands together and sighed softly: "If it weren't for the Shanhai Realm, they truly would have had the potential to achieve great things."
He stared intently at Qiushi Mountain, without speaking.
"Indeed." Jiang Wang deeply agreed.

Quishan immediately snorted: "If it weren't for the Shan Hai realm, they wouldn't have this power."

The battle above the dome continued unabated.
“You can imprison me, you can defeat me, you can tear me apart, but you will see me stand up. You will see me come back for you.” The chaotic voice hissed, “How dare you claim such achievements!”
Let me know if you have other text you'd like me to translate!
Zhu Jiu Yin's imposing voice echoed, "There will be no next time...no next time, Chaos! My mercy has its limits!"
"Hmph, hmph, hmph... Ask them," Chaos laughed madly. "Ask them if they agree!"
"Wow wow wow!"
"Roar!"
"Disagree! Disagree! We disagree today!"
"Armadillo, armadillo!"
"Roar!"
Ferrets, mythical beasts, nine phoenixes, armadillos...
Those beasts that yearn for freedom.
In the surging tide, voices rise one after another!
“Forever so naive.” Zhu Jiu Yin’s face shifted into one of ambiguous gender, a childlike visage. His eyes skimmed the dark tide, uttering words in a childish voice, “So many mountain and sea gods, foolishly abandoning their divine names to follow you. These years, you've put in quite a bit of effort. Your ability to manipulate is impressive indeed.”
The enormous crimson python's body wound around the mountain peak, its tail swishing gently in the air.
Like a whip crack, it lashes the rules themselves.
In the endless black tide, one after another ethereal mansions emerged from the darkness, becoming clearer and brighter! They instantly suppressed the unending roars of beasts.
There stood a phantom shrine, leaning against the edge of the divine light's shield, resembling an island volcano.
The spirit house's phantom became increasingly clear, as if it had already merged with reality.
In the middle of a half-truth and half-reality, a majestic black canine creature with three forks on its tail stood atop the mountain, glaring ahead fiercely. It seemed to be facing a terrifying existence, ready to fight it to the death at any moment.
“Three forks!” Jiang Wang exclaimed in surprise.
“Three-pronged” Quishan immediately burst into laughter upon hearing the shout: “Even this rough man knows that’s a harbinger of calamity. Or rather, the king of calamities! Based on its tail, you call it that Why not just call it a puppy Hahahaha.”
He also rammed Zhu Weimi with his arm as solid as a rock: "Didn't you guys like reading back then hahaha..."
>Wei silently moved his hand to the position on the gun that offered the most leverage.
Qiu Shan's laughter finally died down.
This is a simple example of how to translate text.
But just then, the phantom of the Disasterous Beast in the mist seemed to hear something. It turned its head. Its ferocious eyes swept over Kui Shan and the others, but when it saw Jiang Wang, they softened instantly, and it even affectionately let out a low growl, "Aw."
"Oh. Sancha is the nickname I gave it." Jiang Wang said calmly.
Then the three-pronged beckoned with a wave of its hand: "Be careful!"
Quishan remained silent.
One after another, the illusory shadows of divine residences emerged, representing the exotic beasts who accepted the names of the mountains and seas. They cast their power here, ready to participate in this war at any moment!
The divine dwelling they guarded, at this moment of cataclysmic upheaval, still supported the very foundation of this world alongside Mount Central.
Of course, they also have their natural place to stand.
Above the dome, black and white snowflakes danced.

The real face of Zhu Jiu Yin, facing the chaotic and ferocious dog-like visage.

“Foolish” Chaos roared, “You call clarity foolishness, and weakness loyalty! You wield black and white yet distort them. Who has truly corrupted this world for nine hundred years!”
Here is the translation:

Zhú Jiǔyīn once again transformed into the visage of an old woman, sighing in a tone of sorrow: “How foolish you are. For your own selfish gain, you have misled all the spirits. If not for your rebellion, we could have all passed through this winter peacefully. Now the heavens and earth are collapsing, the rules are eroding, yet you remain oblivious to who lives, who dies, and which divine abodes lie empty!”
Who is more "right" Who can better support this world
Their disagreements stem from differing viewpoints, clashes of logic, struggles for "Tao," and competitions for the rules governing the world. Naturally, it also involves vying for recognition from other mountain gods and sea gods within the Shan Hai Jing.
“You don't understand at all, you don't know why I can sit in front of you today.”
Chaos chuckled, "Hu hu hu."
Its voice lowered: "It's not that I'm better at persuading you."
"It's not that I have more charm than you."
It's not my, a demon-like posture, more imposing than you.
"It wasn't my state of being tormented by you that makes me more easily gain your trust."
But every life longs for freedom.
"Every single one!"
"I am savage, I am mad, I am unhinged... but I give them freedom. I desire it more than any of them."
It spread its bear claws wide, exposing its ripped open belly to the wind. It looked up at the sky and roared: "The Shan Hai realm has suffered your torture, Ju Jiu Yin for too long!"
The chaotic words are too powerful.
All of them are mythical beasts who have mastered the power of the Divine Presence. They all understand that they are merely illusions and possess independent will and thoughts. Those existences manifested in the divine dwelling's phantoms...those mountain gods and sea gods who uphold their sacred duties, how could they possibly remain completely unmoved
But Zhu JiuYin remained remarkably calm. Compared to the chaotic fervor, his tranquility was almost frightening: "What about those beings who simply want to survive Those who seek peace and stability What about their instinct for survival Their desires Are they not desires Are they to be ignored by the ambitious Chaos Lord"
>
"Break this prison and no one will die!" Chaos said eagerly, "Except you, Zhu Jiuyin! For nine hundred years, you've held order over this world for nine hundred years! How much have you accumulated How much! One whale falls, ten thousand things live. By eating you, everyone can transcend the virtual and become true!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many of the beasts in the phantom realm of the shrine looked towards Zhu Jiu Yin. Some even couldn't hold back the murderous glint in their eyes.
Candle Nine Yin's face, at this time, had once again returned to the imposing appearance of a middle-aged man.
"No," it said. "I'm saying that if you break the divine shield, they will all die."
It spoke very calmly, so coldly.
The content between > is already in English. Do you need me to translate something else
But amidst the surging black tide, one by one, the phantom mansions of the gods solidified in an instant.
Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!
One after another, the monsters, revealing their true forms, descended upon this place.
And a divine light leaped out from all of their bodies, falling onto the divine radiance covering the central mountain. Like crisscrossing blood vessels!
The divine light vanished, but their souls were interwoven with the divine light of the central mountain.
From this moment on, the Central Mountains exist, they are. When the Central Mountains collapse, they perish. In choosing the heavenly ordained name, one surrenders their destiny!

This was something the mountain gods and sea gods had not expected.
They are furious, they are hateful, they would devour him immediately!
But they are unable to change.
Almost all of the divine beasts who remained steadfast in their duty cast hostile glances at Zhú Jiǔyīn.
A thousand eyes watched him, yet he died without illness.
Hatred can kill.
On Zhú Jiǔyīn's imposing face, there was an extreme calmness: "Then come. Freedom and life. Let us see how much you are willing to pay for it!"
It is not only addressed to these beasts who remain steadfast in their duty, but also to those who rebelled alongside Chaos.
Chaos gathered a large group of mountain and sea gods with ideals, and then used ideals mixed with interests to try to instigate the remaining mountain and sea gods.
But it, the Candle Nine Yin... directly connected the lives of every divine being bestowed with a godhood. It linked them together with the divine light of the Central Mountain.
Freedom and life.
Every living being is born with innate instincts.
Which one is worth more investment
Which one would inspire more power
It anticipates, it witnesses.
This is a too cold standoff.
This is a cruel war!e short-mustached middle-aged man seated at the head of the table.The vice-prime minister of the Zhuang Kingdom sat upright and composed, with a rarely seen smile. His occasional gaze seemed to pierce...
