Tales Of Herding Gods | Chapter 1428 - The Heavenly Dao Is Private

Qin Mu looked at him, and after a moment, he revealed a smile. "Someone once told me that Celestial Venerable You was too naive. If he hadn't been in Youdu and participated in the great battle, he wouldn't have lived until now. You, you decided to walk out of Youdu because you placed yourself in danger. Your life is in danger."

In the past, every time Celestial Venerable You made a move, his back was against Youdu, and he could advance or retreat at will. For example, during the battle at the Jade Pool of the celestial heavens to protect Qin Mu, Celestial Venerable You had walked into Youdu. For example, during the battle between Celestial Venerable Xiao and the peach forest, Celestial Venerable You could enter Youdu anytime.

However, if Celestial Venerable You went to Xuandu, he wouldn't be able to avoid the enemies' attacks and return to Youdu in time. That would be dangerous for him.

Celestial Venerable You looked at him calmly and said, "However, after Celestial Venerable Xiao was exiled, I started to get involved in the affairs of the world. My territory is in the Primordial Realm."

He was talking about his release of Xie Wuqi and Ming Ya. Xie Wuqi and Ming Ya's foothold in the Primordial Realm depended on him.

From then on, Celestial Venerable You started to get involved in the battle and couldn't stay out of it.

Qin Mu was silent for a moment, and he knew what he was thinking. "Earth Count won't let you attack, he won't let you put yourself in danger. Earth Count's dream is to get rid of Earth Count's identity, and he needs a just person to replace him. You are his candidate, and you are also the next Earth Count in his heart."

"The next Earth Count in Earth Count's heart was originally you, then Qin Fengqing. He had also been grooming you and Qin Fengqing as the next Earth Count."

Celestial Venerable You said indifferently, "I made a deal with Earth Count. I helped him manage Youdu, and he preserved Celestial Venerable Yu's corporeal body to protect my mother's soul."

Qin Mu asked, "If anything happens to you, what about your mother?"

"She will live well in Youdu."

Qin Mu didn't say anything more and walked away. His voice came from afar as he said, "Celestial Venerable Yue, Founding Emperor, and Divine King Lang Wo will appear in Xuandu. You will meet them then."

He suddenly stopped and gave it some thought before saying meaningfully, "Be careful of Divine King Lang, don't let her come into contact with Celestial Venerable Gong. If Celestial Venerable Gong stays in the celestial heavens and doesn't participate in the Battle of Xuandu, that's fine. However, if she participates in the Battle of Xuandu, she will definitely come into contact with Divine King Lang Wo. If she does, you need to be careful of any changes."

Celestial Venerable You was slightly stunned and nodded silently.

Qin Mu left. "Go back, let Earth Count release Heavenly King Tian Shu and the rest. I need their help in the battle of Xuandu."

Celestial Venerable You revealed a smile and put away the paper humans and paper horses before riding the paper boat away.

Qin Mu waited for him to return to Youdu before stopping to think about it. He then shook his head.

Divine King Lang Wo, the goddess of his dreams, was flawless. However, Lang Lang wouldn't care about old relationships or embrace friendship.

With the interests of her race as her top priority, she would make a judgment that was beneficial to her race under the influence of the situation.

If Heaven Duke died, Qin Mu's faction would lose its most powerful existence, and the balance of power with the ten Celestial Venerables would be broken. When she met Celestial Venerable Gong, she would easily be persuaded by him, making the judgment that Qin Mu's side couldn't defeat the ten Celestial Venerables and joining Celestial Venerable Gong's faction.

Celestial Venerable Gong was once one of the three primordial kings, and she was now one of the ten Celestial Venerables. It wasn't impossible for Divine King Lang to become one of them.

In that case, Divine King Lang Wo would kill her own people in order to gain merit. Founding Emperor, Celestial Venerable Yue, and the rest might not be able to escape from her sneak attack.

The masters of creation might even attack Carefree Village!

Divine King Lang Wo was once the object of Qin Mu's admiration. Qin Mu was also very uncomfortable when he made a move to guard against her, but he had no choice.

After another month, the celestial heavens finally completely descended upon the ancestral court. The vast and boundless celestial heavens floated above the ancestral court, emitting a world-shaking divine might.

The celestial river had also changed its path with the celestial heavens and returned to the ancestral court. During the primordial era, the celestial river was the most important river in the ancestral court. Now, it was merely returning to its former position.

However, the return of the celestial river caused the changes in the universe to be far-reaching.

Firstly, numerous heavens that were built on both sides of the celestial river suffered a huge change. Originally, the stars of these heavens operated according to the tide of the celestial river. When the celestial river changed its course, the stars instantly fell into chaos, causing the natural disasters of these heavens to never end. The people were displaced, and countless people died.

Next was the heavens that the celestial river had passed through in the Primordial Realm. The celestial river had changed its path, changing the trajectories of these heavens. They were being torn and dragged by the celestial river.

Some of the heavens were lucky, and there were many powerful gods that stopped the stars when the celestial river changed course, not causing much damage to the people. However, some of the heavens weren't so lucky. They were torn apart by the celestial river and turned into pieces of the universe. Numerous cold corpses floated in the starry sky.

No one dared to complain.

The celestial river changed its course, turning the Great Swamp of the ancestral court into an ocean. This was once the origin of Xuandu. Xuandu rose up from this place, becoming taller, transforming into the vastest sky.

After the primordial era of the masters of creation came to an end, the celestial heavens captured the celestial river, turning the sea that had been nurturing Xuandu into a huge swamp. Today, the sea recovered, becoming vast and deep.

If one stood on the surface of the sea and looked at the seawater, they would be able to see the reflection of Xuandu.

This was Celestial Venerable Hong's territory.

The original Great Swamp couldn't even be considered a treasure land, yet Celestial Venerable Hong had chosen this place. However, the celestial river had changed its course and turned this place into the celestial sea, instantly making this place incomparably rich.

The thriving life force and strange rules of the Heavenly Dao hidden in the sea appeared, and the Great Swamp became one of the most eye-catching sacred grounds in the ancestral court!

Celestial Venerable Hong's move made the other Celestial Venerables raise their eyebrows. They couldn't help but admire his foresight.

The most profound impact of the celestial river changing paths was that the celestial river had finally returned to Xuandu.

The celestial river flowed out majestically from the ancestral court and flowed towards the top of Xuandu's sky. It drew a beautiful arc through Xuandu and formed a circle that wasn't sealed. It flowed down from Xuandu and into the Primordial Realm.

The path to Xuandu had been opened up by the celestial river, and it was already on the agenda to punish Heaven Duke!

The various military marquises of the celestial heavens were all ready to set off. The Celestial River Navy's huge ship sailed day and night towards Xuandu with countless smaller ships carrying supplies.

Along the way, the stars were lit up by powerful gods, lighting up the celestial river and making it look like a jade belt.

The reason why they didn't take the Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was because something had happened in Xuandu. The Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge was destroyed, and even the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu of the Ancestral God King was suppressed by Heaven Duke.

"The Heavenly Dao is selfless, and the Great Dao is fair!"

Rumors spread throughout the thousands of worlds in the heavens. "When Heaven Duke dies, the Heavenly Dao becomes private! The ten Celestial Venerables want to change the Heavenly Dao and public weapons for their own use. From today onwards, it will no longer be public, but private! This is the sorrow of all lives!"

"Nobles and generals are born with guts. Common people are slaves for generations!"

"From today onwards, even breathing air has to be taxed. Even sunbathing has to be paid!"

These kinds of rumors circulated in the thousands of worlds and heavens for a period of time. Someone used this to ask Celestial Venerable Hong, and he said, "It's just the shouts of the incompetent. Ignore it."

As expected, this rumor didn't cause much of a stir before returning to peace.

At this moment, Tian Shu, Butcher, Zhe Huali, and Luo Wushuang came to the hundred thousand black mountains of the ancestral court and found Qin Mu. Qin Mu was ready to go, and he said to the four of them, "It's hard to say if we will survive this battle. I will coexist with the elders."

Butcher smiled, "What's there to be afraid of?"
