Chapter 660: Jiang Chen Returns the Divine Form, Witnessing the Miracle
The Heaven Mountain Divine Palace finally truly appeared before the world for the first time.
After it appeared, Jiang Chen felt a lightness in his body, and the constraints of the Forbidden Void vanished.
Jiang Chen swiftly rose into the air, heading toward the Heaven Mountain Divine Palace.
Only he could fly; the other practitioners still could not.
They rushed forward, but quickly ran into walls.
A massive pressure descended from the sky, landing on Tianshan Peak.
Those who were sprinting were caught off guard, falling to the ground in a chaotic mess.
The pressure was several times greater than usual, and they could not resist at all.
Although the Heaven Mountain Divine Palace was within sight, it was still far beyond reach, impossible to cross.
The practitioners kept trying, but the result was the same.
They also realized that perhaps the deities within the Heaven Mountain Divine Palace did not wish them to pass.
In other words, they were not yet worthy.
Some began to speculate about the identity of the person qualified to enter the Heaven Mountain Divine Palace.
From such a distance, they could not discern Jiang Chen's features.
All they could tell from his appearance was that he was of the Human Race.
Jiang Chen flew into the Heaven Mountain Divine Palace, entering an immaculate garden.
Before entering, Jiang Chen deliberately used his own power to wipe his shoe soles, as a sign of respect.
The Heaven Mountain Great Deity was already waiting with a smiling face, and Jiang Chen saw excitement in his eyes.
Without any idle pleasantries, Jiang Chen directly handed the Holy Sound God's Divine Form, together with the Holy Sound Bell, to the Heaven Mountain Great Deity.
The Heaven Mountain Great Deity received it gingerly.
He cradled the Divine Form as if it were a priceless treasure, his gaze filled with deep affection.
It seemed that in his eyes, the Divine Form before him was not merely a Divine Form, but also his beloved.
Then, terrifying Divine Power surged from the Heaven Mountain Great Deity, and a seven‑colored glow shot straight into the heavens.
The Divine Power spread outward from the Heaven Mountain Divine Palace, quickly enveloping the entire Tianshan Mountains.
A booming sound rang in the ears, Tianshan Peak began to quake violently, followed by the whole Tianshan Mountains trembling.
The Tianshan Mountains, extending over thousands of kilometers, kept shaking, a scene never before seen in Human Race history.
Countless piles of snow were hurled upward, gathering in the air and turning into mist.
Within the Tianshan Mountains, innumerable monstrous beings roared toward the sky, contributing massive life force.
All the plants in the Tianshan Mountains did the same, also contributing their own life force.
The whole Tianshan Mountains seemed to be reviving.
Jiang Chen could hardly imagine how much potent life force a Tianshan range of this scale could possess.
He guessed what the Heaven Mountain Great Deity intended to do, and found it hard to believe.
What the Heaven Mountain Great Deity was doing was almost impossible.
These life forces gathered in the air, then formed a beam of light that pierced the Holy Sound God's Divine Form.
The Divine Form instantly burst with dazzling brilliance, stunningly beautiful.
The life force was so massive that it underwent a qualitative change, turning from formless to tangible.
Jiang Chen personally witnessed a body taking shape.
The sight shocked him, turning decay into wonder, almost overturning his previous understanding.
It was so astonishing, almost like creating something from nothing.
Not only life force, but also the power belonging to the Holy Sound God was interwoven within it.
The Divine Form was activated, radiating principles amidst the brilliance.
Millions of principles, like fine threads, wove the life force together.
The newly formed Divine Body, cloaked in rosy light, was resplendent.
Jiang Chen had seen a statue of the Holy Sound God in the Water Divine Palace, where she stood side by side with the Heaven Mountain Great Deity.
Now, the Holy Sound God's form reappeared, more vivid than the statue.
In less than a minute, the Divine Body was reshaped, and the Heaven Mountain Great Deity placed the Divine Form on its forehead.
The Divine Form swiftly entered the body, vanishing.
Then a surge of Divine Power rose, the wind chimes rang loudly, the Holy Sound wind chime buzzed and flew automatically into the Holy Sound God's hand.
"The Holy Sound God is about to revive?" Jiang Chen forced down his shock.
The Heaven Mountain Great Deity was so powerful that Jiang Chen found it hard to gauge.
In Jiang Chen's mind, a Great Deity level, that is a Half-step Super God level, should not be able to reach this point.
Yet what the Heaven Mountain Great Deity was doing now far exceeded his comprehension.
The Holy Sound God was equally beautiful, brimming with Divine Power, with the power of principles enveloping her.
She seemed about to awaken, and the Heaven Mountain Great Deity placed a hand on her eyes, softly saying, "Stay asleep, don't wake up, be good."
With those words, the Holy Sound God's aura quickly calmed.
The Heaven Mountain Great Deity cooed like a parent, whispering into the Holy Sound God's ear, "Sleep well, I'll wake you later. Don't worry, I'm here, no need to fear."
The Holy Sound God's aura completely subsided, truly falling into deep sleep.
The Heaven Mountain Great Deity waved, and the Holy Sound God floated up on her own, carried by unseen force toward the back of the Divine Palace.
The Tianshan Mountains finally calmed, and all the snow fell again.
It seemed as if nothing had happened, but the anomaly was soon noticed.
The plants in the Tianshan Mountains have withered on a large scale; although they are not dead, they look half‑alive.
The snowpack has shrunk by half; the snow that once reached the knees with a single step now only covers the tops of the feet.
All other living beings in the Tianshan Mountains have vanished, as if they hid away to recuperate.
The entire Tianshan Mountains have become dead and stagnant.
The Tianshan Divine Palace in the sky disappeared, vanishing again from mortal eyes.
Except for Jiang Chen, no one knows what happened.
In the brief few minutes just now, the Tianshan Mountains underwent an earth‑shaking transformation.
Jiang Chen personally witnessed what is called a miracle, what is called death and rebirth.
The Tianshan Great Deity let out a long sigh; Jiang Chen could see that he was very weary.
His aura also became unstable; the operation just now consumed an enormous amount of energy.
The Tianshan Great Deity bowed deeply to Jiang Chen and said, "Thank you."
Jiang Chen, rightfully receiving the gratitude, asked, "Can you tell me what just happened?"
The Tianshan Great Deity replied softly, "I should have told you. Do you think I used some method to revive my wife?"
Jiang Chen nodded; he indeed thought so.
If the Tianshan Great Deity could truly resurrect a divine being with just a single Divine Authority, then the Water God could be saved, and perhaps the God of Life as well.
The Tianshan Great Deity shook his head, "I'm afraid I must disappoint you; I do not yet have the ability to make the dead reborn."
"In fact, my wife never completely fell; a fragment of her soul slipped into a Divine Authority, and with its power she survived."
"I merely used the life force accumulated over millennia in the Tianshan Mountains to reshape her Divine Body, giving her Divine Authority a foundation."
"Our divine beings differ from your Human Race; our bodies can be reshaped. Your people can be reborn even after losing limbs, but if nothing remains, rebirth is impossible."
Jiang Chen understood; in this way, the Holy Sound God is essentially gravely wounded and has fallen into slumber.
While asleep, a divine being's life can endure for many years; perhaps there will be a chance to recover in the future.
But thousands of years have already passed—will there truly still be a chance?
Jiang Chen, with doubt, asked, "Is there really still a chance? The Water God said it's very difficult!"
The Tianshan Great Deity was slightly surprised, "You saw the Water God? She awakened?"
Jiang Chen replied, "By chance, I awakened her. She told me everything that happened back then, and now she has fallen asleep again."
The Tianshan Great Deity sighed lightly, "I didn't expect her to be willing to tell you about those events; it seems she values you highly."
Jiang Chen felt uneasy, not understanding why the Tianshan Great Deity said that.
The Tianshan Great Deity continued, "The Water God's judgment is precise; she said it's difficult, but she didn't say it's absolutely impossible, so there is hope."
"Although she was struck down from the Divine Altar back then, she was the one directing the entire Great War from behind the scenes."
"I believe what she said."
The Water God indeed only said it was difficult, never that it was completely impossible.
It seems there truly is still a sliver of hope.
Jiang Chen asked, "I would like to ask a question."
"Ask, and I will tell you everything I know." The Tianshan Great Deity was very forthcoming this time, without any hesitation.
Although Jiang Chen's dealings with him were merely transactional, he also felt deep gratitude toward Jiang Chen.
He could reunite with his wife only because of Jiang Chen.
That is a great debt, deserving repayment.
Jiang Chen asked, "I want to inquire about the high‑level Instance in the Tianshan Divine Palace; the equipment inside seems abnormal."
The Tianshan Great Deity laughed heartily, "You mean there's too much equipment, right?"
Jiang Chen nodded, "Yes, too many."
The Tianshan Great Deity spread his hands, "I don't know either."
Huh?
Jiang Chen was stunned; how could this be?
The Tianshan Great Deity said, "I told you before that my wife and I differ from other divine beings; we were not divine beings before—we were of the Human Race."
"During the Great War, the previous Tianshan God and the Holy Sound God both fell, and they were a married couple."
"My wife and I were commissioned, received their Divine Authority, and attained divinity."
