983 Scared Witless (1/2)

Qin Mu looked at the crowd celebrating beneath the sacrificial altar. The chiefs of each clan were mobilizing their clansmen.

”What are they doing?” Qin Mu curiously asked.

”They are planning to concentrate everyone's power and visualize you together to strengthen your corporeal body and consciousness.”

Divine King Lang Wo said, ”We will grant you power like we did the Grand Emperor. Due to the number of masters of creation who participated then, we can't recreate it. However, we can still boost your cultivation greatly due to the collective worshipping and visualization by millions of masters of creation. It will only take 110 years for your cultivation to reach the level of a strong practitioner of the Emperor's Throne, perhaps even stronger. Your corporeal body will also be indestructible as a result.”

Qin Mu looked at the excited crowd below and thought about the ancient gods like Earth Count and Heaven Duke. He shook his head and said, ”Although it can grant me power, worshipping me to become a god limits me too much. I think I should cultivate and elevate my own cultivation.”

In the past, he wouldn't have rejected such large scale worshipping and visualization of him.

However, today, Qin Mu suspected that the ancient gods were visualized by the masters of creation.

After all, they were limited by their own Great Dao. Perhaps, they weren't limited by their own Great Dao but by the thinking of the masters of creation who created them.

When the masters of creation visualized Earth Count, they thought of him as a god of death who was fair. Earth Count thus became an ancient god made out of and restrained by such thoughts.

The one restraining Earth Count was his body, which was created by the masters of creation's visualization and thoughts.

However, the masters of creation being the creators of the ancient gods was merely a speculation of his. He didn't know the specifics.

The reason that Qin Mu had such a theory was due to Divine King Lang Wo's mount, the rainbow phoenix.

He felt that the phoenix and the ancient gods were in similar predicaments, which made him not want to be visualized by the masses.

Divine King Lang Wo glanced at him and sent out waves of consciousness to notify the chiefs.

The chiefs of the various clans heard it and were shocked. However, they had to obey it, for it was Qin Mu and the divine king's orders.

Qin Mu felt relaxed when he saw the masses disperse.

There were too many limitations to the ancient gods. One had a body that wasn't one's own. The ancient gods tried so many tricks to get out of their restraints. Wouldn't it thus be stupid for him to voluntarily be restrained?

”How could you reject the masters of creation's worship?”

Shu Jun's large head flew over, and he bitterly said, ”You missed your chance at becoming the Grand Emperor!”

Qin Mu smiled. ”Becoming the Grand Emperor? My goals are far bigger. How can being the Grand Emperor satisfy me?”

Shu Jun felt that it was a pity. He shook his head and said, ”You don't know how terrifying the Grand Emperor was.”

”Even if I wanted to be a being like the Grand Emperor, they wouldn't let me. Shu Jun, they created one Grand Emperor already, and that almost led them to extinction. Why would they do it again?”

Qin Mu smiled and said, ”If I did become another Grand Emperor, what if I too chose to eliminate all masters of creation to secure my reign? I'm the masters of creation's holy infant, not a ruler like the Grand Emperor. Otherwise, what would be the difference between us?”

Shu Jun stared at him, but his eyeballs didn't jump out this time. He said, ”You actually made sense this time, it's just, are you really that kind? I don't believe it, you're too sly.”

Qin Mu smiled gently and said to Divine King Lang Wo, ”Sister, let them rest so they can recover their energy and consciousness. After they recover, we shall head to Carefree Village.”

Divine King Lang Wo was shocked as she asked, ”All?”

Qin Mu nodded. ”Yes, all.”

Divine King Lang Wo frowned slightly and expressed her doubt, saying, ”Won't that be too vast and obvious?”

She didn't want to say it, but Shu Jun couldn't help but say what she was really thinking, ”All? Are you hoping to wreck your ancestor's place? When the time comes, are you sure that your ancestors won't kill you?”

Qin Mu laughed, shook his head, and said, ”I want the masters of creation to talk with Carefree Village and Founding Emperor. If I don't unleash our power, even if Founding Emperor agrees to it, his officers might not agree to live peacefully with us.”

His gaze flashed as he leisurely said, ”When two giants negotiate, they must be equal.”

He excitedly thought, 'It would be best to scare Founding Emperor witless!'

Divine King Lang Wo gave him a deep look before informing all of the chiefs to rest their clansmen.

Around five days later, the masters of creation who participated in the offering recovered their consciousness to peak condition. Divine King Lang Wo informed the chiefs to mobilize their clansmen to Carefree Village.

When that order came, all of the masters of creation were excited. They said, ”As expected of the holy infant, he's going to strike at Carefree Village already!”

”Thief Qin has been rubbing me the wrong way for a long time. The holy infant is a saint from heaven sent to lead us to eradicate the enemies!”

”We shouldn't be too careless. After all, they have a weird infant with a large head that's super powerful.”

”The holy infant can beat him up!”

”Naturally.”

…

Qin Mu and Divine King Lang Wo stood on the high ground. Qin Mu saw the masters of creation leading their armies and families, and he frowned. The masters of creation deployed their divine arts by cultivating consciousness and used visualization to create their artifacts. Hence, everyone's consciousness and divine arts were different. The same could be said for their mounts.

It was normal to visualize beasts like dragons or phoenixes as mounts, but many people visualized weird mounts. The mount of the Zili chief, a giant white silkworm, was already weird enough. Yet there were also large spiders, an eight-legged monster, a feathered snake, a large kraken, and even a godd*mn tree!

Outside of that, there were various flying houses with legs that were on top of boats and treasure carriages. Some people even sat in a giant egg!

There were many more holy objects flying that carried hundreds of masters of creation. Some of them sat on planets that had elders pushing them. The elders would jump onto the planet after pushing it so they would be carried towards Carefree Village!
