The Great Worm Lich

As though having his heart gripped by a pair of large invisible hands, Zhang Lisheng, who was sitting on a bed that was shaking with the Earth’s vibration, started to have an unprecedented ominous premonition. With a sharp change in his expression, he stood up and abruptly made a tearing action with his hands as the solid ground in the bark house slowly cracked open.

 At once, a gush of strong wind appeared in the air and swirled around the Wizard Li god’s body before spreading out in a rotation. It tore the four walls and the roof of the treehouses apart and revealed the sky and ground that had abruptly become dark.

 Looking up at the sky at the only god-knows-how-thick clouds that were constantly rolling in the air, the Wizard Li God took a deep breath and stretched his hands straight on both sides of his body. Then, he slowly made a downward swing and close motion.

 As his arms swung, the totem pole towering into the sky next to him began to lit up in red, blue, yellow, and green flame-like brilliance. It spread out over an area of ​​more than 30,000 square kilometers, shrouding the entire Wizard Li and forcefully stitched the island that had countless cracks together again.

 This miraculous scene also appeared in every city and village at every corner of the Shrimp World No. 2, where the Wizard Li temple was built.

 When the earthquake was stopped by the god with mighty power, the governors with an ashen expression swaying from side to side finally snapped back to reality. Each of them kneeled on the ground and began to chant, “Great Wizard Li God, the supreme master of all in the world…”

 Only the chief governor and the deputy chief governor stood rooted on the ground.

 “Y-Your Majesty, w-we all have the power of your gift. It’s impossible f-for natural disasters to… This is by no means a common natural disaster. Yes, t-this is… H-Has that day arrived? That d-day…” A few minutes passed by unknowingly. As a round hole appeared on the constantly-changing sky that and seemingly trying to rip the clouds apart, Tugra, who was awakened by the heavy raindrops falling from the air on his head, asked incoherently in a hoarse voice, in a slightly dazed manner.

 “The sky is falling, and the ground is cracking! Heavy rain is pouring! Hum, hum… Hahaha… Everything is ready, but we’re suddenly caught in such despair. No matter how much one plans things out, life always intervenes! This saying is indeed true…” As though not hearing the Wizard Li chief governor’s question, Zhang Lisheng clenched his teeth, and green-black blood vessels popped up on his neck and face. With a ferocious smile, he slowly hissed to himself and leaped up all of a sudden. A cloud of mist gathered under his feet and carried him straight to the sky.

 At this time, the world had already become dark. Only the sound of raindrops that resembled hundreds of millions of drums echoing in the vast universe. It was only until a flash of lightning that seemingly could pierce through the heaven and Earth broke through the chaos that light finally was regained.

 However, when the thunder that gave a little comfort was gone, a more desperate and horrible disaster suddenly occurred. The round hole ripping the clouds apart suddenly emitted blazing flames. Like the entire sky was being liked by the blaze, countless of burning stars fell from the sky.

 “The apocalypse! The apocalypse is here! Gaia’s apocalypse prophecy is really c-coming now! Everything w-will be destroyed! Everything must be destroyed to be reborn…” Looking up at the sky, the Wizard Li deputy governor roared incoherently in his hoarse tone like he was talking in his dream. However, he was interrupted by the loud voice of Tugra, who had awakened entirely to his senses, “No, Tuan! With His Majesty here… W-With His Majesty Wizard Li here, even if the apocalypse really has come, our world will never be destroyed! It’ll never be destroyed! Let us pray! Pray to His Majesty, and pray for salvation… ”

 In the shrieking shout of Wizard Li’s chief governor, in the sky that had turned into a sea of ​​fire, one-tenth of the thousands of meteorites falling rapidly in the heavy rain suddenly exploded and turned into dust. The dust began to gather in mid-air to form the statues of the human-headed snake demon god covered in irregular scales before starting to wander and rotate in the torrential rain that resembled the galaxy pouring down.

 Every single move of the demon god bodies that were born from muddy water caused the mountains on the ground of Shrimp World No. 2 to break and the rivers and seas to countercurrent. Countless mountain peaks and waves flew to the sky and headed towards the falling meteorites.

 Billions of intelligent creatures all over the Shrimp World No. 2 caught in the apocalypse who were initially crying howling waiting for their death. However, they suddenly saw the belief in their hearts who was worshipped in the temple and familiarly engraved on the totem pole whom they prayed to everyday transformed into clones and demonstrated extraordinary power to crush the meteorites, a new hope began to form in their despaired heart.

 At once, they began to kneel on the ground and pray 1000 times more pious than before, causing the four-colored flames igniting the tens of thousands of stone pillars and god statue all over the Shrimp World No. 2 to burn even more brilliantly.

 Clearly sensing that the number of his lunatic believers was increasing at an incredible rate, Zhang Lisheng, who had transformed to his god true form giving his entire effort to stop the apocalypse had a bitter expression on his face. Inciting the divine power on his body while swallowing the rainwater, he murmured, “The sky is falling, and the ground is cracking, The sky is falling, and the ground is cracking… The cracking land can still be settled, so as the tsunami, but I can’t counter the sky falling if it happens another one or two more times. If I had not suddenly mastered the technique to create clones in this fatal desperate situation, I wouldn’t have been able to block the first meteorite shower. D-Don’t tell me that I really need to use that ‘thing’? No one can predict whether the ‘thing’ will work or not, though! Even if it does, the consequences will be irreversible…”

 When the Wizard Li god muttered to himself in hesitation while soaring above the sea of ​​clouds, dense light spots once again lit up above his head. Countless of various-sized meteorites rubbed against the ozone of the Shrimp World No. 2 and burnt as they crashed towards the ground.

 Now that the crisis fell for the second time, Zhang Lisheng no longer let his mind run wild. Squeezing out all of the remaining power in his entire body, he created more clues and manipulated the rivers, seas, and mainlands to once again block the falling star fragments.

 After using the divine power at an overload for the second time, the Wizard Li God started to feel that he was about to reach the limit. If there was another meteorite rain, he would have to let go of the place shrouded by his belief if he wanted to save himself. Raising his head to look at the crumbling world’s barrier in the distance through the rain curtain, a decisive look appeared on his face.

 Then, he swung his snake tail vigorously, charging himself, as fast as teleporting, to the crumbling spatial door of the Shrimp World No. 2 in the torrential rain that seemed to connect the heaven and Earth into a whole. He glanced at the New York suburbs that were also showered by the thunderous rain in the distance before making a grabbing gesture in the air.

 At once, the brilliance of all the totem poles and statues on the Shrimp World No. 2 suddenly became more intense, like they were reflecting light. At the same time, a handful of colorful dirt flew up from the mud under the towering pillars surrounding the thousands of temples and palaces in the Wizard Li’s ancestral ground. It continued to enlarge under the rain being blown by the wind as it flew towards the Wizard Li God.

 When it finally floated to Zhang Lisheng, its size had already become as big as a low mountain.

 “As expected from the Ancient Goddess Nuwa’s treasure, it’s indeed amazing,” Upon seeing the changes in the five-colorful soil that he had expected, the taut expression on Zhang Lisheng’s face finally relaxed a little as he rubbed the mud floating around him.

 Without warning, he pushed it towards the crumbling world’s gate while murmuring, “She wandered across all seven seas and traversed numerous mountains to borrow the Sun God’s fire to refine 36,501 five-colored stones from the five-colored mud to patch the sky and resolved the catastrophe in the nine provinces. Legend has it that 36,500 stones are enough to restore the Colossal World, then a small hole of a few hundred square kilometers should be able to be repaired by one stone. Please don’t let me down…”

 Before the Wizard Li God could finish his words, the mud drifting towards the spatial gate had already touched the edge of the fragmented world fence.

 In just a few seconds, the mountain-like mud suddenly became very thin and light. It glued the world’s door together and stopped the collapsing. Then, it started to become transparent in color at a speed that seemingly slow but was actually very fast. It continued to extend and actually started to patch up the barrier between Earth and Shrimp World No. 2.

 The New York Sea gradually disappeared in front of Zhang Lisheng and was replaced by the turbulent Wizard Li sea surface instead. At the same time, the thick clouds covering the entire area shrouded by the god’s faith also gradually began to dissipate.

 “I’ve succeeded! I’ve actually succeeded! Then, in that case, does this mean that it was really Ancient Goddess Nuwa who ended the Colossal World in the ancient world?” The Wizard Li God hovered in the air staring blankly at the world’s fence that was soon going to be patched entirely, isolating Earth and Shrimp World No. 2 apart as he said in a dream-like low voice. One side was still the scene of the apocalypse while they had already quieted down.

 Then, he abruptly came to his senses. Shaking his head vigorously, he passed on his voice to his land of faith using his divine power and said simply, “My devout believers, under the protection of my glory, the apocalypse has been wiped out. Now, all of you can regain peace and joy as this world has been reborn from the edge of destruction. I hereby pronounce that I’ll rename it ‘Wizard Li’… ”

 When the billions of people in the Shrimp World No. 2 who escaped from death, who were either once again bathed in the sunlight that broke through the clouds or gently stroked by the faint moonlight heard this sound that came from nowhere resonating throughout the entire world, most of them kowtowed wild with joy as they began to pray even more piously. They did not hear the other sentence Zhang Lisheng specifically said to the Wizard Li governors, “The situation has suddenly changed, and even I didn’t expect this. I want to return to Earth immediately. Stabilize Wizard Li’s situation as soon as possible!”

After saying so, the Wizard Li God looked at the spatial door that now had a height now only slightly taller than a man. He opened his hands and suddenly punched out, summoning huge waves off the coast of New York, burying the Atlantean troop guarding the Shrimp World No. 2’s world’s door, which was already in despair on the ocean floor and smashing them with the rapid water.

 Then, at that moment, when the world’s barrier restored completely, he changed back to his human appearance and crossed back to Earth.
