Chapter 1,190: Approaching Ruin

that the Great Shadow Array has vanished.Jiang Qiuyang said faintly, "I said that his formation mastery was extremely high. Although it seemed like I had broken the formation just now, in reality, the...As the mountain was split in two, all the thunder within the white cocoon vanished without a trace, as if it had exhausted its power, forever halted at the fracture of the mountain!

The scene here finally stopped changing and gradually faded and blurred.

"Leiyuan Shan!"

Looking at the mountain that stood in the boundless darkness, split in two, Jiang Yun softly spoke, naming the mountain.

The Thunder Origin Mountain of the Righteous Lightning Realm!

And that white cocoon, woven from Dao patterns and various powers, was the very cloud world in which Jiang Yun now found himself.

Although the scene before her has vanished, at this point, Jiang Yun could clearly see that these scenes recorded the entire life journey of this middle-aged woman!

As for the beauty's identity, Jiang Yun could also easily guess. She should be the first bolt of lightning born in this world.

Perhaps she didn't have a name of her own, but if Ginger had to give her a title, she thought she should be called "Lei Mother"!

Mother of thunder!

Today, all thunder in this world, whether it be heavenly lightning, tribulation lightning, or even the most ordinary thunder, is born and evolved from Lei Mu.

Even further, Jiang Yun was able to guess that during the process of Lei Mu's birth and her journey through the boundless darkness, every place she passed through, the streaks of lightning she left behind, like beacons illuminating the darkness, should be Dao Lei.

One's own Thunder Dao Body was within the illusion, having once merged with each and every bolt of lightning there.

This is also why the Thunder Dao Body would feel kinship towards beautiful women, and why the eyes of beautiful women looking at themselves are filled with compassionate love.

Because every bolt of lightning is her child, in her eyes, the self that has merged with the lightning is also like her child.

"Before the heavens and earth opened, before the world and all creatures existed, Lei Mu was born. And Lei Mu left countless bolts of lightning for this world."

These bolts of lightning are like seeds, taking root and sprouting in this world. They give birth to more thunder, and some even evolve into worlds.

"The Mother of Thunder, her form of life, surpasses all others. Therefore, all living beings cannot see or sense her existence, except for the Daoist Venerable!"

"The Taoist not only saw the Thunder Mother, but also took the initiative to approach her, even traveling with her."

But during their journey together, Lei Mu's appearance became increasingly haggard and her spirits grew worse and worse...

"If I'm not mistaken, the Daoist Venerable is absorbing her energy, even her life force, to become stronger, or perhaps to gain a deeper understanding of the Dao of Thunder!"

Later, for reasons unknown whether it was the Dao Zun unable to fully devour Lei Mu, or having already achieved enlightenment, or something else entirely, he sealed Lei Mu within this Leiyuan Mountain with immense power!

"Later, as time passed, the world gradually evolved around Mount Lei Yuan, becoming the righteous Lei Realm."

"And from the center of the righteous path's thunder realm, more worlds were derived, ultimately forming the present-day Leiji Heaven!"

"The so-called Lei Ling should be a special existence formed by the thunder within Lei Mu's body evolving autonomously when she was sealed. Its purpose is to protect her safety."

To this point, Jiang Yun finally understood almost everything that had happened to Lei Mu.

However, Ginger Cloud still had one thing unclear.

In the white cocoon, Lei Mu was like she had fallen into a deep sleep. Had she already awakened long ago, or did her awakening come because of my arrival

If it's the latter, then why would my own appearance cause her to awaken

Although my Thunder Body incorporates Dao Lei, there are still quite a few Dao Lei in this world.

If one can merge with the Dao of Thunder, then surely others have had the same opportunity.

Let's not even mention those far away. Right here, within this righteous path of the Thunder Realm, there exists Lei Bu Fan. Even inside the celestial body of Lei Ji Tianzhu, there should be a Dao Lei present.

Even though Lei Bufan was entering this cloud realm for the first time, Lei Jitian had definitely been here before. So, it's natural that he might be able to awaken his mother.

Just then, Lei Mu spoke again, “Thank you for waking me up!”

This sentence instantly overturned Jiang Yun's guess. It was indeed because of his appearance that he awakened Lei Mu.

But why

Seemingly knowing Jiangyun's doubts, the Thunder Mother continued, "Because you gave me your vitality!"

Hearing this answer, Ginger Cloud finally understood.

Although Lei Mu's life form is special, she absorbed a lot of lives from the Dao Zun and was sealed for so long that she is practically equivalent to death.

The stench of death emanating from her is the best proof.

Even, if one does not appear, it is likely that in this kind of slumber, Lei Mu would directly and utterly die.

But because there was a bolt of lightning within his body and he had cast the Nine Sacrificial Heaven Technique, his life force could be absorbed by the Mother Thunder, which is what awakened her!

Although she understood this, Ginger Cloud's heart sank again involuntarily.

Because of their self-sacrifice, though their numbers are vast, they are probably just a drop in the bucket compared to a supreme life form like Mother Thunder. They are insignificant and simply not enough to sustain her for long.

Therefore, if my calculations are correct, Lei Mu should—be about to meet her demise!

Thinking of this, Jiang Yun suddenly spoke up: "Senior, how can I let you continue to live As long as there is a way, the junior will definitely do it for you!"

Despite years of monastic life and experience, which had kept a pure land within Ginger Cloud's heart, he had become cold and distant. He was accustomed to killing, to death, and most of all, to trading.

But at this moment, even though Lei Mu owed him nothing and they didn't have much to do with each other, Jiang Yun was willing to do something for Lei Mu.

Perhaps the reason was that Jiang Yun felt the warmth of a mother from Lei Mu.

Ginger's words caused Lei Mu's smile to deepen, but she gently shook her head and said, "Being able to see you is already enough for me. Being able to let you know about my life journey also means I have no regrets!"

"As one of my descendants, before my destruction, I will bestow upon you my final strength!"

"No!" Jiang Yun hurriedly shook his head. "Senior, I don't want anything. I only hope that you can live well."

"You have more descendants out there, you should go see them, and you should go see the world! You can't die!"

At this moment, Jiang Yun was no longer the powerful being like a demon god, but had become a child, a child so anxious that tears were welling up in his eyes.

He really doesn't want anything that his mother, Leimu, has given him. All he wants is for Leimu to keep living.

Seeing Ginger Cloud's anxious look, Lei Mu suddenly smiled and stretched out her hands, gently cupping Ginger Cloud's face. Then she slowly leaned in and left a kiss on Ginger Cloud's forehead!

Jiang Yun's body trembled, and he only felt a warm current flowing into his body from the top of his forehead.

But he didn't care about any of that at all. Instead, he watched as the Mother Lei, who had already loosened her hands, began to gradually fade away, only her kind smile remaining on her face. He roared out in anguish: "No, no, no!"

"Goodbye, child!"

"Boom!"

In her motherly warm farewell, Lei Mu's body surrounded by countless golden lights suddenly exploded.

Let me know if you have anything else I can help with!

A deafening roar echoed throughout the entire Righteous Path Thunder Realm!

"No!"

In the midst of this deafening roar, Ginger Cloud's knees buckled and he fell heavily to his knees in the void, letting out a roar filled with unwillingness.

But just then, amidst the body that exploded from Lei Mu's power, he suddenly saw a ball of nine-colored light…
