859 Herding the Gods (1/2)
Qin Mu stared with his eyes wide open. Ancient God Celestial Emperor still had one soul that had yet to be erased, and this soul had even turned into a Founding Elder of Heaven Alliance?
Would this mean that Ancient God Celestial Emperor was still undertaking a very high position in the celestial heavens?
Beside him were all people that had once killed him and nearly erased his soul completely!
These people even seized his position as the celestial emperor and took over his corporeal body.
His position, his wife, everything no longer belonged to him.
He still had to feign civility with these people and call them brothers. He still had to plot against the ancient gods with these people and assist these people in becoming the rulers of the entire universe.
He might even be among the experts of the Heaven Alliance that had killed Mother Earth back then. He had also made a move to get rid of Mother Earth and even groomed a new Mother Earth to replace her!
Only then could it explain how the Primordial Tree had landed in Celestial Emperor's hands when it was the Heaven Alliance that had gotten rid of Mother Earth.
That was because he was situated in the Heaven Alliance, and safeguarding the Heaven Alliance's benefits was safeguarding his own benefits!
He even had to slowly plan his resurrection and plot on how to seize back his authority and position. He had to conspire and borrow the Heaven Alliance's power to recover his own rule, conspiring against the enemies in the Heaven Alliance that had destroyed him.
This incident was even stranger than any strange incident Qin Mu had encountered before. It was much more motley and inconceivable to him!
Qin Mu couldn't resist himself and burst into laughter. His laughter became louder and louder as it reverberated through the Heavenly Yin Palace.
He laughed until he was out of breath and laughed until he coughed endlessly. ”Old and experienced... Cough cough! This is what Village Chief means by old and experienced! Whatever pleasure, grudges, feuds, and grace are all tactics! Whatever order of the world is just merely your plaything! Whatever justice in this world is also merely a plaything for you to trample upon!”
His smile vanished, and he said with a smile that was yet not a smile, ”Now I actually feel that the celestial heavens is indescribably hideous and, on the other hand, Eternal Peace, this tiny little place that is struggling between life and death, is then the true human world, a place where you can feel cold and warmth. The celestial heavens is merely a place to hide dirt and conceal corruption.”
The old and sloppy Daoist remained silent as though he had entered a meditative state.
Goddess of Heavenly Yin's expression changed slightly, and she examined the apparition of Celestial Emperor in the black soul sand carefully.
The figure in the black sand was unmoved and said, ”In that case, why did Celestial Venerable Mu still want to see me?”
”That is because Eternal Peace is lacking the time and chance to grow.”
Qin Mu said, ”Eternal Peace needs time. The Founding Emperor Era lasted for twenty thousand years and still couldn't change the world, they were wiped out because the time was too short. It has only been several hundred years for Eternal Peace, and it already has the trend of being wiped out. I need a helper like Your Majesty to share the pressure. Your Majesty also needs me to help you reconstruct your soul.”
The figure in the black sand said with a smile, ”You and I are making use of each other. I have very great authority in the celestial heavens, so I can give Eternal Peace time. I can let the new and old Mother Earth deal with each other to give Eternal Peace a chance to survive. However, I feel that if I return to my throne and Eternal Peace also grows up, Eternal Peace would instead become a danger to me.”
Qin Mu said seriously, ”Your Majesty, do you have another choice?”
The figure in the black sand said with a smile, ”I don't.”
”I don't think Your Majesty has any either.”
Qin Mu said indifferently, ”Your Majesty, there's still one more condition to reconstruct the souls, which is that I need the power of Heaven Duke and Earth Count.”
The black sand vibrated, and the man in the sand was silent.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
Qin Mu said with a smile, ”I'm not sure about Heaven Duke's side, but I feel it would be a problem on Earth Count's side. If I borrow the power of Earth Count to revive Your Majesty, Earth Count will definitely kill me.”
The figure in the black sand continued to remain silent.
Goddess of Heavenly Yin was faced with a dilemma and didn't know if she should speak.
Back then, to control Earth Count, Celestial Emperor had taken the chance when Earth Count was reincarnated and allowed his son to lead half-gods, laying their hands on the reincarnated Earth Count.
The reincarnated Earth Count was called Ah Chou, and he had three children. His oldest son and daughter were dropped to their death, and only his youngest daughter was left. When Ah Chou fought his way up to the celestial heavens, she had landed in Celestial Emperor's hands and became a handle for Celestial Emperor to control him.
Even though they were a ruler and his minister, the hatred had already been planted.
The old and sloppy Daoist gradually opened his eyes and said, ”The daughter of Earth Count is still alive. She has an extremely high position in the celestial heavens, so there should still be some leeway for him to redeem himself.”
The figure in the black sand said, ”There's also Heaven Duke. He might not lend his power to revive me either.”
Qin Mu's heart jumped. Could Celestial Emperor have also done something similar to Heaven Duke?
No wonder Heaven Duke and Earth Count weren't willing to mention this Ancient God Celestial Emperor and detested his conduct.
Heaven Duke wasn't even willing to mention that piece of history.
”You deserve what you get.”
Qin Mu said, ”Your Majesty, it might look like you control all the power and are unrivaled in the world, however, when you find yourself utterly isolated and sinking into desperate straits, no one will come to save you.”
The figure in the black sand gave a snort, but he didn't refute him.
Qin Mu said, ”In that case, could Dao Ancestor convince the daughter of Earth Count and let her convince Earth Count. As for Heaven Duke's side, I will think of another idea. As for the pressure on Eternal Peace, could Your Majesty let the new Mother Earth handle it for now.”
The figure in the black sand sighed again, and his tone was rather unhappy.
Qin Mu's gaze twinkled, and he said, ”There's still one matter, and that is in regards to Celestial Venerable Yu. I want the last strand of Celestial Venerable Yu's soul.”
”Impossible!” The figure in the black sand shook his head firmly.
The old and sloppy Daoist also shook his head. ”That's impossible. Celestial Venerable Yu's soul is hidden in the Hall of Fragrance, no one can take him out. This matter...”
He looked at the figure in the black sand and remained quiet.
Qin Mu frowned. This soul belonging to Celestial Venerable Yu was related to the Ancient God Celestial Emperor. Back then, when Celestial Venerable Yu was assassinated and died, Ancient God Celestial Emperor had given the order to search for Celestial Venerable Yu's soul, however, Earth Count didn't manage to find it.
