887 The Writings of Primordial Realm Grandmaster (2/2)

”What about the ancient Celestial Emperor?”

Qin Mu muttered, ”Have you descended? I have given you the opportunity to act… The human race, what is going to happen to the majority of the human race?”

This battle was spreading. Soon, it would reach Eternal Peace.

”Son of Youdu?”

Suddenly, a celestial god discovered him and unfurled a scroll painting. ”One will search high and low only to find it when one least expects to. You are the Son of Youdu.”

Qin Mu was indifferent. He transformed into his three-headed and six-armed form, and his body grew bigger. His third head was a big-headed baby.

”Wherever I am, Youdu exists!”

The big-headed baby looked confusedly at the scene of devastation. ”But here is scarier than Youdu.”

At the southern sea, a star collapsed, dragging a long trail of fire into the sea and causing giant waves.

On the surface of the southern sea, within the celestial palace of the remaining survivors of Crimson Light, countless Crimson Light gods were resisting the invading army of the celestial heavens. Chi Xi was leading the resistance, buying time for his people to retreat.

His comrades around him dwindled. Eventually, he was the only one fighting ferociously on the God Execution Stage and was drowned in the sea of ​​gods and devils.

”Die together with me!”

He let loose one last roar. ”Worship!”

His qi and blood were devoured by the God Execution Stage. The God Execution Stage of this strong Emperor's Throne practitioner seemed to come alive from a deep slumber, releasing its power. It sucked the qi and blood of many celestial gods. Those who charged at the God Execution Stage were turned into corpses.

Chi Xi ran out of energy, and his eyes started to blur.

”Crimson Light Son of God should have already brought my people to safety. What about my disciple, is he safe?”

Before he died, he saw Grandmaster hiding himself from place to place like an old rabbit within the crumbling Crimson Light celestial palace.

Chi Xi smiled for the final time. ”He can run fast indeed…”

Pangong Tso made use of the chaos to escape the Crimson Light celestial palace. He was considered the top escapist by Qin Mu. Not a hundred gods can stop him. Not even the Jade Pool and Jade Capital Realm he encountered on the way were unable to stop him.

The sky was dim, and it was impossible to tell whether it was day or night. Flames of battle burned across the sky like a painting on fire.

Pangong Tso escaped under this picture, onto the mainland. Although his body was full of injuries, he managed a smile. ”There is no one in this world who is able to kill me. No one! Not even Cult Master Qin!”

He saw that, ahead, there were gods killing. The fleet of Eternal Peace was carrying countless mortals towards the north when they were sunk by the divine arts of the gods and devils.

”None of my business.”

He planned to circle around and seek safe shelter. At that moment, he was dazed. He was unable to pull his gaze away from the figure fighting the celestial heavens gods.

It was First Ancestor Human Emperor. He was fighting against more than 10 god generals so that the divine arts practitioners on the ships could lead the mortals to safety.

The flames of battle lit up the faces on the boats—there were faces of frightened women and children.

”None of my business. I have done nothing good in my life. All these thousands of years, I have only done bad deeds.”

Pangong Tso chuckled and walked away. At this moment, the body of First Ancestor Human Emperor fell from the sky and slid 10 miles before stopping at his feet. A Jade Capital Realm god descended from the sky and stabbed First Ancestor's chest with his sword.

Pangong Tso, without thinking, transformed himself into black smoke and carried First Ancestor away.

”Stop!”

First Ancestor Human Emperor shook the black smoke off his body. He didn't look at him but faced the oncoming celestial heavens practitioners. ”Go, help those people escape!”

He charged at the celestial gods without looking back.

Pangong Tso was startled. He quietly rose and landed on one of the ships that were heading towards the south at high speed. Behind him danced the shadowy figures of First Ancestor Human Emperor and the celestial gods. The shock wave of their divine arts rippled out, threatening to rip the boats apart.

”This is His Majesty's ship. Please get off.”

Pangong Tso looked at the despairing divine arts practitioners and laughed. ”I have spent my whole life escaping. I can guarantee you will escape alive!”

The ship landed, and people were getting off.

”Things will get better when we arrive at Li River Academy.”

Pangong Tso led them forward while consoling everyone. ”When we reach Li River Academy, Eternal Peace Imperial Preceptor will build a teleporter, which will take us to the capital city.”

The people moved in the darkness, not knowing where they were. Along the way, the group grew as more refugees joined them.

Pangong Tso became their leader. The sun and stars had disappeared from the sky. He was the only one who was able to navigate in the darkness.

Pangong Tso led them for 10 days. More and more people got left behind from exhaustion.

”There used to be a period of time where I could have been the human emperor.”

Pangong Tso said to these divine arts practitioners, ”That was around the end of the High Emperor Era. I took the remaining survivors of the High Emperor Era and escaped in the darkness. I almost became the High Emperor Era's First Ancestor Human Emperor…” He chuckled.

Today, Li River Academy would be within sight.

However, the refugees despaired upon seeing a celestial heavens ship descending from the sky. At the bow of the ship were rock-looking faces.

”Grandmaster!” The divine arts practitioners tried to look for Pangong Tso, but he was nowhere in sight.

The people were desperate.

In the darkness, Pangong Tso looked back and saw the celestial gods getting off the ship, walking towards the people whom he once protected.

”I have escaped all my life and won't fail here. I have killed countless and have never done a good deed.”

Pangong Tso panted and laughed. ”No one is able to take me down, not even Cult Master Qin! Hehe, hehe…”

His panting got heavier as he dragged his heavy feet out of the darkness. He walked towards the gods of the celestial heavens. ”I could have become the human emperor, the First Ancestor Human Emperor… No one can finish me off. Come!”

He charged into the celestial gods and laughed. ”Come! I have been running all my life…”

Those celestial gods looked at him coldly.

He turned and told the Eternal Peace divine arts practitioners, ”Take the people and leave. Beyond this mountain, you will see the Li River Academy! I can handle this!”

The divine arts practitioners took the people and left hastily.

After some time, a blood-drenched First Ancestor Human Emperor arrived and found Pangong Tso's corpse on the devastated battlefield.

First Ancestor Human Emperor closed Pangong Tso's eyes, giving him peace. ”At that time, I was just an escaping soldier. I never expected myself to become the human emperor.”

He continued forward and caught up with the refugees.

Li River Academy was in sight.
