911 Creating a New Age From Nothing (2/2)

They saw that the masters of creation from prehistory were creating strange creatures, like human bodies with cow heads and other strange humanoid lifeforms with the heads of birds, beasts, and snakes. There were also bizarre creatures like human-headed snakes.

Qi Jiuyi's face went pale. He saw them creating phoenixes!

”Hehe…” He chuckled but didn't say anything.

What these relief sculptures recorded was too terrifying. The organisms that these masters of creation from prehistory created were getting more bizarre. Some organisms even looked like the ancient gods!

”They were imitating the ancient gods!”

Qi Jiuyi laughed. ”They were imitating the ancient gods in creating life. They could never surpass or match up to the ancient gods!”

Qin Mu said, ”Are they imitating the ancient gods, or are they creating the ancient gods?”

Qi Jiuyi was stunned. He suddenly shouted, ”Heresy! Do you know what you are saying?”

Qin Mu also felt that his conjecture was preposterous. He broke out into laughter and shook his head, continuing to browse the stone carvings.

Qi Jiuyi's anger couldn't be restrained. He shouted angrily, ”You mean that these barbarians created Celestial Emperor, Heaven Duke, Earth Count, Mother Earth, and the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth? Do you know what you are saying?”

Qin Mu ignored him and continued walking forward. The content of the relief sculptures was getting more shocking.

These masters of creation from prehistory organized themselves into several large tribes. The more people they had, the greater the power of their sacrificial offerings.

They also developed grander scenes of sacrificial offerings. Countless three-eyed tribesmen performed sacrificial offerings day and night, creating stronger and bigger spirit bodies to destroy and subjugate their enemies.

However, there was a race who chose to perform sacrificial offerings for their leader, allowing their leader to become much bigger and stronger.

Their leader's corporeal body was incomparably huge, as tall as the sky. Countless giants surrounded him, their crystals glowing. The light shone on the leader's body, giving him a holy appearance.

There was also a crystal in the leader's forehead. However, it was different from the rest. Its color was vermilion red, giving off a dazzling luster as it absorbed the light from the other crystals.

Qin Mu tried to examine the leader's face. However, his face was covered by the brilliance of the light emitted by the other crystals and wasn't portrayed on the carvings.

Qi Jiuyi continued to follow by his side and coldly said, ”They were merely using consciousness to create things and could never create the real gods. The ancient gods cannot be created, they can only be born from the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth.”

Qin Mu looked at another set of relief sculptures, whose content seemed very interesting.

The relief sculptures showed a large tribe, as though all of the masters of creation from prehistory had congregated together. They gathered and focused their consciousnesses, planning to create a huge world and leave this place of troubles!

They wanted to create another world, relocating their people there to avoid the conflicts of the real world.

'Creating a world from nothing! Could these masters of creation from prehistory succeed? Wait a moment, Carefree Village! Isn't Founding Emperor's Carefree Village a world created from nothing?'

Qin Mu became more excited as he thought about it. He continued to move forward and got a shock. There were no more relief sculptures on the stone walls ahead of him.

They were destroyed by a powerful force, leaving only a few fragmented stone slabs on the ground.

He bent over to inspect them. Most of these stone slabs didn't have traces of carvings, meaning that someone must have erased the contents on the surface. As if that weren't enough, the relief sculptures were destroyed as well.

He performed a careful examination, trying to see if there was anything that might have survived.

”Cult Master Qin, you forgot one crucial point! The ancient gods have souls, whereas the creations of these masters of creation from prehistory didn't have them! The Heaven Duke from earlier didn't have a soul, and neither did the tiny Earth Count you created!”

Qi Jiuyi said, ”The masters of creation from prehistory blasphemed against the ancient gods, imitating them in creating life. They intruded upon the interests of the ancient gods and offended them, going as far as using the strange lifeforms they created to do battle, a sin deserving of a thousand deaths! They deserved to be destroyed!”

He seemed a little perturbed, and his Dao heart was unstable.

Qi Jiuyi used to be a man of few words. Now, he was rambling behind Qin Mu. On the surface, it seemed that he was trying to convince Qin Mu, but in fact, he was trying to convince himself.

Qin Mu's earlier words had unsettled him, making him seem out of sorts.

However, he did make a crucial point. Be it the Heaven Duke who assaulted them earlier or the tiny Earth Count created by Qin Mu, they lacked both a soul and consciousness.

The dragon qilin said, ”Third Brother, the Heaven Duke of this place was created by the residual consciousnesses of the masters of creation from prehistory, far from their peak condition. What if during the prehistoric period, they could indeed create a Heaven Duke with a soul and consciousness?”

Qi Jiuyi was stunned, and his voice trembled as he said, ”Second Brother, this is heresy…”

Qin Mu raised his head, looking around and searching.

'Found it!'

He cheered as he quickly rushed forward. Qi Jiuyi followed behind, still looking out of sorts. He continued to convince him, saying, ”Cult Master Qin, your thoughts were blasphemy against the ancient gods, you should repent…”

Qin Mu came to the center of the hall, then raised his head to look up and laughed. ”Brother Qi, raise your head and look at the sky. What can you see?”

Qi Jiuyi raised his head and looked up. Upon seeing many stars embedded in the dark starry sky, he said, ”Stars in a starry sky, of course.”

The dragon qilin raised his head and observed. ”There are some stars in the sky.”

Yan'er's gaze was sharp. She laughed and said, ”Those stars aren't real. They look as though they are far away from us, but actually, they aren't.”

Qi Jiuyi said doubtfully, ”This starry sky isn't different from a real starry sky, how can it be fake?” He paused for a moment before saying, ”Yes, this is indeed fake! We are in the Blood Rust Zone. There are broken fragments of vast land and planets flying around us, as well as countless giant skeletons, so there's no way we can see the starry sky outside!”

Qin Mu laughed. ”This is the treasure that my big senior brother left behind for me.”
