1080 The Black Tortoise Deity Deceiving the World With Thef (2/2)

Gong Yun coldly laughed. ”Deceiving the world with theft!”

The tortoise glanced at her and saw how the palace maid was in a lull. He didn't take it to heart though, for he assumed her to be a palace maid of the South Deity palace.

Everyone claimed that the four deities were ancient gods born from nature, which was what they claimed to be, yet Gong Yun knew everything about their origins.

West Deity White Tiger was an ancient god born from collective sacrifice by Gong Yun's Nü Xin Clan.

The other three deities had their own origins too. North Deity Xuan Wu was an ancient god born from sacrifice from the Ju Yu Clan. Deity Wu had some relation to Gong Yun too.

The Yu in Ju Yu Clan meant water of the north. Ju Yu Clan also meant masters of creation who lived beside the northern waters.

The Ju Yu Clan originally lived beside the northern part of the celestial river, and they created the Black Tortoise ancient gods via sacrifice.

They were split into two. One was Deity Xuan, while the other was Deity Wu. This was because Gong Yun was the Grand Emperor's wife and the chief of the Nü Xin Clan.

Women were superior in the Nü Xin Clan. When Gong Yun married the Grand Emperor, her status in the Ju Yu Clan was even higher. She was equal to the Grand Emperor, so the Ju Yu Clan sacrificed to create two ancient gods, Deity Xuan and Deity Wu.

Their sacrifice was also a representation of their beautiful wish. The wish that the Grand Emperor and Gong Yun would be a perfect couple like the ancient gods of their imagination, as if they were one.

However, reality was cruel.

North Deity was able to be rich due to raiding the Ju Yu Clan when the great calamity of the masters of creation came.

Suddenly, loud laughter came as a large and handsome lad walked towards them. It was Prince You Ming.

The Prince You Ming of then didn't look that destitute. He looked strong and handsome, with a strong aura and dragon mustaches. It was just that his clothes were too extravagant. He wore a black robe with images of flowers and snakes made from golden threads.

The most eye-catching thing was the scattered treasure he had hung around his body. First, he had 24 pearls around his waist, which were 24 heavens!

On his arms were bracelets made from pearls, four to five of them on each. Three to four jade pendants were on his wrists, while a necklace was on his neck. The necklace had an unknown treasure.

As for his shoes, they gave off clouds. When he walked, the clouds would lift him up so that he hovered.

The dragon qilin thought, 'This Prince You Ming is like a traveling blacksmith. He could be a good merchant!'

Yan'er saw him and said, ”I pay my respects, Brother.”

The dragon qilin and the six heavenly dragons also said, ”Brother!”

Prince You Ming anxiously returned the greeting. ”We don't go around often, so I'm quite rusty with my brothers and sisters. Please forgive me.”

Divine King Gong Yun covered his thoughts with consciousness so that he couldn't see Qin Mu behind Yan'er's halo. Thus, he failed to notice Celestial Venerable Mu under a dragon blood treasure tree.

The dragon qilin said something shocking, ”Brother, do you know that the celestial heavens is about to be split?”

Prince You Ming was shocked, and he hastily covered his mouth before looking around and whispering, ”You can die from saying that! Don't spout nonsense!”

Suddenly, gods reported, ”The deity is back.”

Prince You Ming hurriedly went to receive them, excusing himself by saying, ”Please stay here first, I'll be back soon.”

Deity Xuan and Deity Wu sat down, and Prince You Ming received them. Deity Xuan and Deity Wu looked at one another and said, ”Don't go out now, the celestial heavens is going to be split.”

Prince You Ming had a flash of inspiration as he recalled the dragon qilin's words and said, ”I knew that.”

Deity Xuan and Deity Wu felt pleased. ”It appears that our silly son is enlightened enough to see the situation in the celestial heavens.”
