Tales of Herding Gods

Long Xiao was much stronger than her. Even back in the day, he was stronger than her.

She was Mother Earth and could control the behemoths, so Grand Primordium wanted her to deal with Long Xiao.

She chose not to kill Long Xiao. Instead, she hid him and some powerful behemoths in the darkness of the ancestral court, planning for her future.

Mother Earth had her own ambitions. Heaven Duke and Earth Count could be transcendent. The Primordial Tree that she had grown up as a sacrifice to the masters of creation of the ancestral court had long been tainted with the secular aura of the masters of creation, and she wanted to fight with the Grand Primordium for the power to rule the universe in the future.

However, after Tai Chu was created by the gods, the Dragon Han Celestial Heavens was established, and the Dragon Han Era was established. Mother Earth knew that certain things couldn’t be done, so she gave up on the idea.

After the battle of the High Emperor, she was surrounded by Celestial Venerable Yue, Celestial Venerable Ling, Celestial Venerable Huo, and Celestial Venerable Xiao. She didn’t have time to summon Long Xiao before she was killed.

Only when the ancestral court was unsealed did she have the chance to summon Long Xiao. However, Long Xiao didn’t care about her!

“Since you are heartless, don’t blame me for being heartless!”

Mother Earth sneered and said, “I can’t summon you, but I can summon your children and grandchildren. I can summon all the huge beasts in the dark side of the ancestral court back to the ancestral court to fight for me! I can use the blood of countless of your descendants to pave my path to the throne!”

She continued to summon the huge beasts on the back of the ancestral court, and all kinds of huge beasts of all shapes and sizes appeared in the sky continuously. They landed on the ground one by one, looking incomparably huge.

In the void, Qin Mu stared with his eyes wide open. With so many huge beasts and such a huge physique, he wouldn’t lose out to the void beasts.

Of course, the void beasts gathered the strengths of most of the huge beasts. They had more attacking methods and were even more mysterious and unfathomable. They were still slightly stronger than these huge beasts. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have left only the void beasts here.

“Back then, in the ancestral court, the masters of creation lived in such a dangerous world. If they didn’t have the power of the Tai Chu Divine Stone, it would be very difficult for them to survive in this world.”

Qin Mu couldn’t help sighing ruefully. The masters of creation had obtained the divine stone by chance, but it had opened the curtains to civilization.

From then on, the masters of creation became stronger. They gradually controlled the behemoths and fought against nature, eventually becoming the rulers.

To the later generations, the masters of creation were the oldest gods.

At this moment, Qin Mu suddenly felt something and hurriedly brought the egg of Tai Shi into the depths of the void.

Swoosh—

An incomparably thick root passed through his face, and the sharp roots suddenly expanded like a huge hedgehog. Countless roots grew frantically in all directions, and the roots pierced through layers of void to chase after Qin Mu!

“Celestial Venerable Mu, you still want to hide?”

A tentacle suddenly grew out and transformed into flesh and blood. Soon, a woman in the form of Mother Earth appeared not far from Qin Mu. That woman gave off a sharp voice and sneered. “Long Xiao’s dragon scales have long shone down on your body. You actually still think you are hiding cleverly!”

Qin Mu brought the egg of Tai Shi from the second void to the third void and the fourth void. However, the roots that filled the sky danced in the air and crisscrossed around him, attacking him frantically.

On the roots, Mother Earth suddenly grew out one after another. Some grew on the roots, while some hung upside down under the roots, attacking Qin Mu from all directions.

Qin Mu moved gracefully and calmly avoided the attacks coming from all directions. Mother Earth chased him all the way into the void.

He entered the void with his corporeal body, and his entire body seemed to merge with the void. He didn’t receive any rejection from the void.

However, Mother Earth didn’t have his abilities and could only use her incomparably powerful magic power to resist the repulsion of the void. Thus, Qin Mu had full confidence in making Mother Earth retreat.

“Mother Earth, you probably don’t know that Heavenly Lady Yan has already reached the ancestral court.”

Qin Mu said with a smile, “It looks like Long Xiao is right. You are indeed affected by the blood demon. It’s hard to hide from Heavenly Lady Yan that you summoned Long Xiao and so many huge beasts. Are you waiting to die in her hands?”

Mother Earth was astonished, and all the roots that had penetrated into the void rapidly contracted. Her true body immediately sank towards the sacrificial altar!

Suddenly, a abyss of the Ruins of End appeared above the sacrificial altar, sucking in the countless tentacles that were shrinking in the void and pulling them into the abyss!

This was Heavenly Lady Yan’s Ruins of End divine art. It grabbed the roots of Mother Earth and actually froze Mother Earth underground, pulling her forcefully towards the surface!

Because Mother Earth hated Qin Mu too much, she used her roots to chase after him. Now that her roots were swallowed into the abyss of the Ruins of End, even she couldn’t escape.

Just as Mother Earth was about to be pulled out of the surface, the roots suddenly broke apart. Mother Earth knew that she wasn’t Heavenly Lady Yan’s match, so she escaped by breaking her roots.

The abyss of the Ruins of End swallowed the broken roots and wiped them out. Heavenly Lady Yan’s figure appeared, and she shook her sleeves. With her back to the ground, she lowered her head to observe the direction in which Mother Earth had escaped.

She had a majestic aura, like an empress ruling over the universe, controlling the power of the world and life and death.

Suddenly, the huge beasts that Mother Earth had summoned roared and attacked Heavenly Lady Yan ferociously.

Heavenly Lady Yan snorted and retracted her gaze, sweeping her beautiful eyes over the primordial beasts.

Wherever her gaze landed, the abyss of the Ruins of End appeared one after another, pulling those huge primordial beasts into the abyss.

In the abyss, the blood spurted out like a spring. Those incomparably powerful huge beasts couldn’t escape her gaze and were obliterated one after another.

She suddenly raised her head and looked into the depths of the void. Qin Mu was astonished and thought that she was going to attack him. He immediately put away the Tai Shi egg, but at that moment, he suddenly saw a youth with a big head appearing in the sixteenth void. He was observing the movements of the ancestral court.

The big-headed youth didn’t expect Heavenly Lady Yan’s gaze to be so terrifying. Before he could do anything, a abyss of the Ruins of End had already appeared in the sixteenth void and sucked him into it!

He had thought that hiding in the sixteenth void was safe, but Heavenly Lady Yan’s gaze could pierce through the layers of void and reach him!

“Celestial Venerable is indeed terrifying beyond expectations!”

The big-headed youth was Shu Jun, and his expression couldn’t help but turn pale. He had come for Long Xiao, but he hadn’t expected that Long Xiao wouldn’t be summoned by Mother Earth. Instead, he had met the ruthless Heavenly Lady Yan.

His consciousness was strong, but it was all used to strengthen his body. If it wasn’t used to strengthen his body, he could hide in an even deeper void and not be afraid of Heavenly Lady Yan’s gaze.

And now, even if he wanted to escape into the deeper void, it was impossible.

Just as he was about to be sucked into the abyss of the Ruins of End, a figure suddenly appeared in front of him. It was Qin Mu.

Qin Mu also found it hard to defend against Heavenly Lady Yan’s divine art, and he was pulled into the abyss of the Ruins of End. Thunderous rumbles came from inside the abyss, and it was as if a huge beast was opening its mouth to bite and chew.

After a moment, Qin Mu seemed to have been chewed into pieces by the abyss of the Ruins of End. A cloud of blood spurted out from the abyss.

“Celestial Venerable Mu...” Shu Jun’s mind was in a mess, and his voice trembled.

The blood fog surged and transformed back into Qin Mu’s figure. He waved at him and said with a smile, “Don’t worry. Heavenly Lady Yan’s divine art isn’t too powerful here.”

Shu Jun was astonished.

Suddenly, the void trembled, and Heavenly Lady Yan’s figure appeared in front of them. Her cold gaze swept past them.

Qin Mu stood in front of Shu Jun and said with a smile, “Heavenly Consort, we are allies. We just parted not long ago, why do we need to kill each other the moment we meet?”

“Celestial Venerable Mu, you and I aren’t allies.”

Heavenly Lady Yan seemed to want to see through his body and see the big-headed youth behind him. She asked softly, “Who is this youth? His consciousness cultivation isn’t bad.”

“This is my adopted son.”

Qin Mu turned around and held the hand of the big-headed youth. He said with a smile, “He cultivates consciousness divine arts so he has embarrassed himself in front of Heavenly Consort.”

Shu Jun was extremely unwilling, but he still braced himself and said, “Godfather, this goddess is...”

“Don’t be rude!”

Qin Mu pretended to be angry and shouted, “This is Celestial Venerable Yan of the ten Celestial Venerables, Heavenly Consort! Why aren’t you greeting me?”

Shu Jun hurriedly bowed as a junior, feeling even more displeased. ‘My seniority seems to be getting lower...’
