Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1385 - The Sky Travel Is Impermanent

"Support Heaven Duke?"

Qin Mu was astonished. Heaven Duke was going to die?

According to Heaven Duke's own estimation, it would take at least a hundred years to completely analyze his Heavenly Dao, but only twenty years had passed!

Why did the ten Celestial Venerables have to get rid of Heaven Duke so quickly?

'Heaven Duke must have added fuel to the fire!'

Qin Mu's gaze flickered. Heaven Duke and Earth Count had gone to the hundred thousand black mountains to pay their respects to Tai Yi not long ago. Now that the ten Celestial Venerables had moved the matter of finding Heaven Duke to the Heaven Alliance meeting, Celestial Venerable Hong must be behind it.

Because Celestial Venerable Hong was Heaven Duke, Heaven Duke asked Tai Yi if he could break free from the restraints of the Heavenly Dao. Tai Yi told Heaven Duke that he would succeed.

It must have been this sentence that gave Heaven Duke confidence, which was why he took the initiative to bring forward his death!

Because the other Celestial Venerables had forced Carefree Village and the masters of creation's power into the Paramita Void, the two sides faced off against each other on the Void Bridge. The Void Bridge was a dangerous place that was easy to defend and hard to attack. The celestial heavens couldn't break into the Paramita Void for a moment, but similarly, the Paramita Void couldn't take back the Void Bridge. Both sides fell into a stalemate.

The power of Carefree Village and the masters of creation couldn't threaten the celestial heavens anymore, which was why the ten Celestial Venerables could spare the time to deal with Heaven Duke wholeheartedly!

"As for making me take the blame, it will give me a chance to board the ten Celestial Venerables' ship."

Qin Mu had a smile on his face as he thought to himself, 'The ten Celestial Venerables need a scapegoat to get rid of Heaven Duke, Earth Count, the three deities of the ancient gods, all the ancient gods, and even the ancient Celestial Emperor in name. The scapegoat has to have enough weight. They won't take the blame themselves, and I, the founder of the Heaven Alliance, am not strong enough. I'm suitable to take the blame.'

Only when Qin Mu announced his crusade against Heaven Duke in this Heaven Alliance meeting would he be able to board their ship and become the person to share the benefits of the ancestral court and the reverse side of the ancestral court.

Furthermore, these orders were given by Qin Mu, so the ten Celestial Venerables had something on them.

In the future, if Qin Mu was disobedient, any title of killing Heaven Duke or Earth Count would be enough to make Qin Mu and his forces die miserably.

In this way, Qin Mu could be considered to have joined the camp of the ten Celestial Venerables and become one of them.

The ten Celestial Venerables weren't able to convince Celestial Venerable Qin of Founding Emperor to join them, but they could force Celestial Venerable Mu to join them through coercion and bribery.

If they wanted to share benefits, they could, but the prerequisite was that they had to be like them!

"Then…"

Qin Mu said with a smile, "God Emperor, what about the other important matters in this meeting?"

God Emperor Lang Xuan saw that he was still calm and composed, and he couldn't help but admire his shrewdness. "The third thing is that Crown Prince Ming Ya betrayed the celestial heavens and sought refuge with Xie Wuqi, causing trouble in Youdu. Thus, he wants to abolish the crown prince and appoint him again."

Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and said, "Reign the crown prince? In that case, this new crown prince is Celestial Venerable Hao?"

God Emperor Lang Xuan sighed ruefully. "Even though Celestial Venerable Hao doesn't have a title, he has been working hard for the celestial heavens all these years. He's also the son of Celestial Emperor, so it's natural for him to be the crown prince."

Qin Mu smiled and said, "However, as an illegitimate son, I feel that it's not worth it for God Emperor."

God Emperor Lang Xuan said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Mu, you know many secrets, but you also know that there are many people in history who have died for no reason because they know many secrets they shouldn't know."

Qin Mu laughed loudly and said seriously, "Don't worry, God Emperor. Celestial Venerable Hao and I are mortal enemies. Maybe we can work together and do something together."

God Emperor Lang Xuan smiled indifferently and stood up. "I won't disturb Alliance Master's rest, I shall take my leave. Alliance Master's leg isn't in good condition, so there's no need to send me off." After saying that, he turned around and walked out.

Qin Mu muttered to himself for a moment and stood up with a grim expression.

"Even though Tai Yi said he would succeed, Heaven Duke is too impatient. I hope he can delay for another hundred years so that Eternal Peace can have enough time to grow, yet he is about to break free from the restraints of the Heavenly Dao and the body of the ancient gods."

He couldn't help frowning. Heaven Duke was a little unreasonable, why didn't he discuss such an important matter with him!

As an ally, he didn't take the initiative to communicate with Qin Mu. In the end, it was God Emperor Lang Xuan who told him about this.

"Heaven Duke is too anxious, too impatient. He didn't consider me or Eternal Peace. God Emperor Lang Xuan once teased me, saying that I'm already old and still have thirty years to live. Hehe, looks like he wasn't speaking without thinking!"

If the ten Celestial Venerables got rid of Heaven Duke, Earth Count, the ancient gods, crippled Celestial Emperor, and flattened Carefree Village, Qin Mu would be next.

And it would take thirty years to complete these things.

When God Emperor Lang Xuan said he only had thirty years left to live, he was indeed implying something.

"Heaven Duke is unreliable! No, Celestial Venerable Hong is unreliable! All these years, Heaven Duke traveled the world with the face of Celestial Venerable Hong. He has already been assimilated by the ten Celestial Venerables, becoming a ruler like them! Even if he breaks free from the restraints of the ancient gods, he will become one of the ten Celestial Venerables, greedy for power!"

He suddenly felt a chill down his spine. Heaven Duke's goal was to break free from the restraints of the ancient gods, but at the same time, he had to firmly grasp power and make himself a ruler like the other Celestial Venerables. Even if the dynasties changed, he wouldn't be replaced!

"Now that Heaven Duke's main body is still around, he won't be completely reduced to such an existence. He's still an ancient god born from the Dao, standing at the height of the Heavenly Dao to watch the disputes of the mortal world. His clone entered the world and entered the disputes of the mortal world. After such a long time, Celestial Venerable Hong has already been tainted by the mortal world. Celestial Venerable Hong can no longer stand in Heaven Duke's perspective to watch the disputes of the mortal world."

An incomparably strong sense of vigilance arose in his heart. If Heaven Duke's true body died and escaped the restraints of the Heavenly Dao, he would become Celestial Venerable Hong completely. In that case, Celestial Venerable Hong would become a member of the ten Celestial Venerables and become a high and mighty ruler. He wouldn't become his ally!

At that time, Heaven Duke had completely entered the world and was obsessed with power. He might not be Qin Mu's friend, but he might be an incomparably terrifying enemy!

'This won't do, I have to meet Heaven Duke and talk about the pros and cons! The current Heaven Duke still has the heart of the Heavenly Dao. He should be persuaded by me and know the pros and cons! Celestial Venerable Hong has selfish motives, but Heaven Duke doesn't!'

He immediately made a decision and walked out of the Celestial Venerable Residence. "They are no longer the same person. Just like South Deity and Bai Yujing, just like Celestial Venerable Yu and Lan Yutian!"

There was still a day left until the meeting of the Heaven Alliance, so he could use the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge to go to Xuandu to meet Heaven Duke and change his mind!

Just as he walked out of the Celestial Venerable Residence, he saw an elder with white eyebrows and a white beard walking over with his sleeves fluttering in the wind. This elder had a face full of glory and was smiling at everyone he saw. It was Celestial Venerable Hong!

"Celestial Venerable Mu!"

Celestial Venerable Hong greeted him and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Celestial Venerable Mu. Back then, Celestial Venerable created the Heaven Alliance. Yun, Qin, Yue, and Ling left for different reasons and never returned. Celestial Venerable Mu also left for a million years. Today, he has finally returned and allowed the Heaven Alliance to return to the orthodox path. Congratulations!"

Qin Mu returned the greeting and sighed ruefully. "Dao brother must be joking. In this Heaven Alliance Meeting, I was merely pushed out to make a name for myself. I might even die in the future."

Celestial Venerable Hong said solemnly, "You are wrong. Celestial Venerable Mu, this way please. The Celestial Venerables are already waiting in the Heaven Alliance Hall."

Qin Mu was puzzled. "Isn't the Heaven Alliance Meeting tomorrow?"

"Tomorrow, we will gather all the members of the Heaven Alliance and announce our decision today. The ones who will truly decide the fate of the world aren't everyone in the Heaven Alliance. It's actually just a small circle like us."

Celestial Venerable Hong smiled and said, "We have made our decision, they are just following our orders."

Qin Mu was helpless and could only follow him to the Jade Pool. Celestial Venerable Hong's sleeves fluttered in the wind, looking indescribably free and easy.

Qin Mu was on par with him, and he was silent for a moment before saying, "The heavens are normal, they don't exist for a shepherd, they don't die for the dawn."

Celestial Venerable Hong turned his head to look at him and said with a smile, "This is what I wanted to remind Celestial Venerable Mu. Why did Celestial Venerable Mu mention this again today?"

"I understand."

Qin Mu and his speed were extremely fast, and they soon came to the Jade Pavilion. Looking around, they saw that the Jade Pool was like the sea, vast and boundless. Huge lotuses floated on the sea surface like islands in the shape of flowers, and thousands of rulers of the various worlds wandered the sea, looking for friends and family. They formed groups of three to five, laughing and chatting happily. They were indescribably at ease.

"This sentence means that the Heavenly Dao has its own rules. It won't change because of Celestial Venerable Mu's wisdom, and it won't change because of Celestial Venerable Xiao's cruelty."

Qin Mu changed the topic and said with a smile that was yet not a smile, "However, when Dao brother enlightened me, there's still the sentence after that. It's a blessing in disguise, and a curse in disguise. I don't really understand the rest of the sentence. It's rare for me to travel with Dao brother today, so I would like to ask for the meaning of this sentence."

The two of them walked on the surface of the sea, and wherever they passed, the Jade Sea was shaken. Celestial Venerable Hong could be said to be the Celestial Venerable with the most connections among the ten Celestial Venerables. The rulers of the heavens all came forward to pay their respects, using the power of their disciples.

Yet Celestial Venerable Hong actually recognized everyone, knew their names, knew their families, and even recognized their disciples. This made everyone feel overwhelmed, as though they were bathing in a spring breeze.

Even Qin Mu had to admire this kind of method!

Among the ten Celestial Venerables, only Celestial Venerable Hong knew everyone like the back of his hand. He could even make them feel flattered. He was definitely someone that Celestial Venerable Hong valued highly!

Celestial Venerable Hong glanced at Qin Mu and smiled. "How could Celestial Venerable Mu not understand this sentence? Celestial Venerable Mu, there's no need to belittle yourself. Why don't you share your views? I think you're right."

Another ruler of the heavens brought his descendants to pay their respects. Celestial Venerable Hong was still smooth and slick, making them feel deeply grateful and elated.

"If one is treated, it will be auspicious, and if one is punished, it will be fierce. I feel that this sentence means to follow Heaven Duke to govern the world, and it will be auspicious. Heaven Duke will protect us."

Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, "If you don't comply with Heaven Duke and disrupt the Heavenly Dao, you will be a great danger. Heaven Duke is going to kill."

Celestial Venerable Hong took another look at him and said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Mu, you have misunderstood what you said. To follow the Heavenly Dao and govern the prosperity of the world, to go against the Heavenly Dao is a great danger. Although our explanations seem similar, you are wrong to understand the Heavenly Dao as Heaven Duke. Heaven Duke is just a god born from the Heavenly Dao."

Qin Mu stopped and stood on the surface of the sea. He said with a smile, "Maybe that's how Heaven Duke understood it. According to Dao brother's understanding, this sentence is to follow heaven and go against heaven. According to my understanding, it's a threat and not that indifferent."

Celestial Venerable Hong took two steps forward and stopped as well. With his back facing him, he said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Mu, why are you suddenly saying this? Haven't we always gotten along well?"

He turned around, and the smile on his face was like a spring breeze.

Qin Mu suddenly shuddered.

On the Jade Pool, the sea breeze whistled and blew at the sleeves of their clothes.
