Chapter 1179

With a thought, a statue several meters tall materialized out of thin air and landed squarely on the aircraft carrier's deck.

"This is a treasure bestowed by the Dao Lord. My mission is complete."

The giant serpent spoke calmly, its body gradually fading as it sank into the sea and vanished.

It had no intention of returning to the jungle.

The vast ocean was its true home.

Should its body grow larger again, it would make the universe its home.

For an ordinary person, thinking of leaving Earth would naturally bring sorrow.

After all, one finds it hard to leave one's homeland.

But the giant serpent did not possess such human emotions.

Grow larger.

Grow stronger!

This was its life creed.

It loved its enormous body immensely.

"Commander, what is this?"

The soldiers on deck were stunned by the giant serpent, utterly clueless about what it had done.

Did it travel thousands of miles just to deliver a statue?

"That doesn't make sense—why would the giant serpent speak Rabbit language? Could it be one of our ancient mythological creatures?"

"Legends say Ba She is colossal—could this be Ba She?"

The crowd speculated, frowning deeply.

Suddenly, a figure resembling a commander stepped forward, examining the statue closely and spotting a row of characters on its base.

"Hunyuan Wuji Taixuan Daojun!"

The commander murmured softly, "This must be a divine statue. The giant serpent said it was bestowed by the Dao Lord—could it mean Taixuan Daojun? But does our nation even have such a deity?"

He thought about it, but could not figure it out.

"Report! The giant serpent has withdrawn!"

"But the matter is strange—the giant serpent spoke Rabbit language and left behind a statue, claiming it was bestowed by Taixuan Daojun."

Unable to understand, the commander could only report the facts truthfully.

"Escort the statue back to the homeland. Anyone who obstructs will be executed on the spot!"

"Also, do not spread word that the giant serpent spoke Rabbit language—otherwise, other nations may target us!"

"Yes."

Upon receiving the order, the fleet turned back.

Meanwhile.

"Why didn't the serpent attack the Rabbit fleet?"

"Damn it! This is impossible! Could the giant serpent be an old acquaintance of the Rabbit nation? A mythological creature from their legends?"

The entire Sakura Nation was in an uproar, brimming with resentment.

As they pondered, the ground trembled.

Moments later, they received word—the Sakura Nation's sacred mountain had been swallowed by the giant serpent; the continent was sliding, and would likely sink into the sea within fifty years.

Of course, fifty years was an extremely optimistic estimate, predicated on the assumption that the giant serpent would cause no further disruption.

If the giant serpent treated the island as a snack, Sakura Nation wouldn't last fifty years!

"No!"

"Send a message to the Rabbit nation at once—tell them we're willing to bow down and call them father!"

"No, the Rabbit nation has been our suzerain since ancient times. They must help us!"

Gao Lu, Mao Xiong, and other nations, who had been closely monitoring the giant serpent, now fell silent.

"The giant serpent didn't even clash with the Rabbit nation!!!"

"The giant serpent seems to be an old acquaintance of the Rabbits—if they unite, the Rabbit nation will become the world's number one power."

........ requesting flowers.............

"This is impossible! How could the giant serpent possibly know the Rabbits!"

Seeing the White Eagle fall, all nations had thought they had a chance to become world number one.

But before their dream had even lasted a few hours, it shattered.

If the Rabbits and the giant serpent were allies, what could they possibly use to compete for world supremacy?

"The balance of power has shifted!"

"The rise of the Rabbits is unstoppable!"

The Rabbits' original strength was already formidable.

Now, with an external ally, they are like a tiger with wings—no combination of all nations on Earth could match them.

"Cancel all other diplomatic engagements—I'm visiting the Rabbits."

Jingcheng.

"Sakura Nation is begging for aid?"

"No aid. Let them send us their nonsense—let the Western nations who love humanitarianism go save them!"

Conference room.

"Gentlemen, have any of you heard the name Hunyuan Wuji Taixuan Daojun?"

The meeting was chaired by the current cabinet, but the attendees were not officials—they were Taoist and Buddhist figures, along with relevant experts.

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned.

Did you summon us here just for this?

Could it be that in this age of science, someone still wants to compile scriptures to create a god?

This simply won't work.

Today, education is widespread; even if the scriptures are written with dazzling flair, they can't fool more than a handful of people.

Moreover, if anything goes wrong, their temples and monasteries will be shunned by believers.

This is a matter of livelihood.

But since the state is promoting this, they dare not refuse.

For a moment, everyone wore expressions of distress.

"I believe you've misunderstood. Please, first watch the satellite surveillance!"

With a wave of his hand, a soldier played footage of the giant serpent emerging, and its battle with the bald eagle.

"This—

"Our Earth has a snake this big?"

"That's impossible! It's not scientific!"

Religious figures are modern people too.

Most of them have received modern education, and some are even highly cultured.

A giant creature hundreds of miles long? The ecosystem couldn't possibly sustain it!

A creature hundreds of miles long? Its own gravity alone would crush it into pulp!

Thus, whether Monk or Daoist Priest, all now cried out that it was unscientific—the scene was utterly absurd.
