Tales of Herding Gods

After this sermon, Qin Mu was still trying to refine the world tree with perseverance. His cultivation had increased greatly and his magic power was dense, enveloping the world tree in his domain. However, it was still extremely difficult to refine it.

Two days later, the world tree once again pierced a huge hole in his spirit embryo divine treasure domain.

Qin Mu was stunned, and everyone secretly looked over without saying a word.

Qin Mu dispersed his domain and turned to leave.

“Heavenly venerate mu is probably in despair,”everyone said one after another.

Not long later, Qin Mu found great change who was repairing the Black Mountain. Great change was old and frail, and he was holding a bucket that was trembling.

Qin Mu bowed and snatched great change’s bucket. He took the initiative to help him repair the black mountain that had been shattered by the quake last night.

Tai Yi was happy to be free, so he stood by the side and supervised Qin Mu’s work.

Qin Mu repaired and perfected the black mountain that had been shattered. He put down the bucket and looked at Tai Yi with a smile.

Tai Yi put away the bucket and was about to leave when Qin Mu immediately stopped him with an apologetic smile. “Dao brother, that huge axe of yours looks pretty good to me. How did you refine it?”

“That’s my dao soldier, a supreme treasure born from the chaos.”

Great Yi said unhurriedly, “After I was born back then, I relied on this treasure to cut down the world tree. If it was any other treasure, it wouldn’t be able to do anything to this treasure tree.”

Qin Mu opened his mouth but before he could say anything, great Yi’s beard trembled and he said resolutely, “I can’t give you this treasure.”

Qin Mu immediately said, “I’m not asking you for it, I’m borrowing it. Lend it to me and I’ll return it to you.”

Old Tai Yi sized him up and asked suspiciously, “What are you going to do?”

Qin Mu remained silent.

“There’s no harm in lending it to you for a while.”

Tai Yi took out an axe which was extremely small in his hands. However, it appeared incomparably huge in front of Qin Mu. He said, “You can only use it for half a day. In half a day, this axe of mine will fly back to my side.”

Qin Mu immediately thanked him and dragged the huge axe away. At first, the axe wasn’t too heavy, but the further they walked, the heavier it became. In the end, even Qin Mu was panting from exhaustion and had no choice but to stop to rest.

‘this axe is too heavy. Half a day has probably passed before we reach the edge of the world tree.’

He wiped away the sweat on his forehead and thought to himself, ‘Tai Yi said to lend it to me for half a day, could it be to fool me? Can’t it be lighter?’

Just as he thought of this, the axe became lighter, and Qin Mu was overjoyed. He carried the huge axe and leaped like he was flying towards the world tree. He thought to himself, ‘the moment I think of being lighter, it becomes lighter. Could it be a treasure that responds to every request?’

Just as he was thinking about it, the huge axe became lighter.

Qin Mu was both surprised and delighted. He placed the axe in front of him and thought to himself, ‘If it’s a long knife...’

The huge axe didn’t change at all, and a voice that was too easy came from it. “Don’t think about it anymore. It’s just an axe, and it’s not like I’m answering every request, but I’m helping you reduce the weight of the axe.”

Qin Mu couldn’t help feeling resentful.

Xu Shenghua, Lan Yutian, Ming emperor, and the rest were still comprehending under the world tree and exchanging their knowledge. Then they saw Qin mu rushing over like a meteor, dragging the huge axe as he rushed straight for the world tree.

Everyone hurriedly got up, only to see Qin mu dragging the axe to the bottom of the tree. His corporeal body continued to expand, and his muscles bulged. With a roar, he chopped down on the tree!

Everyone was stunned. The giant raised his axe and chopped down dozens of times in a row, cutting almost half of the world tree!

Granny si said in a trembling voice, “Mu'er, don’t chop it down, you’ll be struck by Heavenly Lightning!”

Hua Xuanxiu followed beside her and shouted, “Old cult master, if you chop down this tree, you’ll be punished by the Heavens!”

The others were also frightened to the point that their faces were pale and they didn’t know what to do.

Qin Mu continued to chop down with his huge axe, and with a loud crack, the sapling of this world tree was chopped in half by him!

The huge body of the tree fell from the clouds, and after a long time, it crashed into one hundred thousand sacred mountains. The commotion it caused could be said to be heaven-shaking and earth-shattering!

Fortunately, the people of eternal peace who had migrated to the ancestral court were all living in the periphery of the sacred mountains and weren’t smashed by the Fallen World Tree. However, the wind and waves caused by the collapse of the World Tree’s sapling still blew into their settlement, the fierce wind whistled for a day and a night before it finally stopped.

Beside the world tree, Qin Mu threw down his huge axe and immediately executed creation divine art on the stump in an attempt to use the path of creation to let the Stump Sprout and grow a new world tree.

However, no matter how he executed creation divine art, the stump didn’t sprout.

Qin Mu was dumbstruck and didn’t move for a long time.

The others also didn’t move for a long time. The last person who had chopped down the world tree was Tai Yi. He raised his chaos axe and chopped down the world tree, severing the path for the existence of the previous universe era to enter this universe.

The World Tree had been revived because of the breaking of the seal of the ancestral court, Jade capital city. Tai Yi had come to chop down the tree again, but Qin Mu had still stopped him. He hadn’t expected Qin Mu to become angry from embarrassment after he couldn’t refine the world tree, he had borrowed Tai Yi’s chaos axe to chop down the world tree!

“I didn’t mean to chop down the tree.”

Qin Mu suddenly came to his senses, he turned around and explained to everyone stammering, “I’m not angry from embarrassment, I just plan to chop down this tree and plant it in my ancestral court’s Divine Treasure. I originally thought this tree could regenerate and after I cut it down, it would definitely grow another one...”

Everyone remained silent.

“I’m really not angry out of humiliation! You guys know about twigs, right? If you cut a branch and plant it on the ground, you can plant a new tree. I’m planning to split the world tree into two...”

Qin Mu looked at Granny Si with his eyes wide open. Granny si coughed and said, “Mu'er doesn’t need to forcefully explain, we all understand.”

Qin Mu’s expression turned bitter as he looked at cripple. Cripple grabbed the goatee on his chin and looked to the side. He gave a cold snort, “Even thieves have their own path, but you can’t become angry from embarrassment just because you can’t get what you want and forcefully cut down the tree.”

Qin Mu remained silent and turned around to walk towards the world sapling that had fallen. The sapling had lost its roots and its branches and leaves were beginning to wither.

He kept the sapling into his divine treasure territory and tried to plant it in the ancestral court. However, even though he had dug a huge pit and surrounded the sapling with four mineral veins, the leaf still didn’t come back to life. Its branches and leaves were all dry.

Suddenly, chaos axe whistled into the air, and the huge axe spun half a circle in midair, splitting apart the layers of void. It then flew into the deepest part of the void and disappeared without a trace.

Clearly, time was up, and it was too easy to take back the axe.

Everyone surrounded the stump of the world tree. There were traces of the huge axe slashing on the incomparably thick stump. The dao rhythm of this precious tree was originally long, and the Dao sounds lingered around it. However, all of them had disappeared.

Qin Mu took out the crown of the tree and placed it on the stump. He tried to execute the no easy divine art to restore the precious tree, but it was completely useless.

The no easy divine art wasn’t omnipotent, and there were also some things it couldn’t reach.

The huge tree fell to the side, and Qin Mu sat on the stump with his chin in his hand. He was in a daze.

“Disperse, all of you disperse!”

Blind chased everyone away and said, “Do what you have to do, don’t always gather here.”

He knew that Qin Mu had cut down the treasure tree, so he felt very uncomfortable in his heart. Thus, he let everyone leave, giving Qin mu a chance to calm down.

Soon, the sky gradually darkened.

Incomparably terrifying tremors came from the surroundings of the great black tree. It was an apocalyptic scene of the destruction of the universe. It was the furious roar and struggle of the previous universe when it had been destroyed.

Qin Mu sat on the stump of the world tree and muttered, “It’s too easy to set fire. I didn’t set fire to it, so how did I die...”

Sitting there, he could faintly see outside the great black tree, the existences who had attained dao in the previous universe epoch were roaring furiously as they climbed up the world tree with all their might.

When faced with the great calamity of the universe’s destruction, these existences who had attained dao were like ants as they climbed up the tree with all their might in an attempt to avoid the great calamity. However, the world tree had been chopped down, so they couldn’t climb up from the previous universe epoch.

Qin Mu saw them pointing at Heaven and earth and cursing endlessly. He cursed the scum who had chopped down the world tree and used his own dao to curse the person who had chopped it down.

“HMPH, only the weak curse others...”

Qin Mu shrunk his neck and muttered again, “I didn’t do it on purpose, and it was too easy to chop down the tree first. If it was too easy, I wouldn’t be able to do it...”

He sat there like he was sitting on pins and needles until the sky gradually brightened up and the terrifying scene outside the great black tree disappeared.

At that moment, a familiar tremor came from the underground of one hundred thousand sacred mountain. It was as if there were countless devils stretching their bodies at dawn!

Qin Mu’s heart moved slightly, and the tree stump under his butt suddenly split open. Two huge tender green leaves lifted him up with a whoosh and sent him into the air!

He still held his chin and looked down curiously. He saw himself rising higher and higher, and under the two huge leaves was a tender green sapling branch!

Qin Mu raised his head and blinked his eyes.

Weng --

His divine treasure domain spread out, and primordial spirits appeared. The primordial spirits in the heavenly palaces immediately began to refine the sapling that had just grown!

When everyone heard the news and rushed over, they saw him controlling his spirit embryo in an attempt to fuse it into the sapling that had just been born!

“Mu'er, put away your divine art!”Granny si, mute, and the others urged under the tree.

Qin Mu turned a deaf ear to them and continued to forcefully refine the sapling. However, the sapling was impervious to oil and salt, so it couldn’t be branded with his brand.

More than ten days later, the tender sapling of the world tree had already grown to the extent of forcefully breaking through his spirit embryo divine treasure and reaching the heavens.

Only then did Qin Mu jump down from the tree. Everyone watched him leave dejectedly and couldn’t help feeling their scalps go numb. “Is heavenly venerate mu going to look for Tai Yi to borrow an axe again? He still won’t give up...”

Qin Mu found Tai Yi. At this moment, Tai Yi was a little girl with two braids on her head. Her mouth was dragging Snot and she was mending the mountain.

“Dao Brother!”

Qin Mu snatched the small metal bucket over and helped her to mend the Black Mountain that had split open. The little girl with the braids sniffed her snot and sucked the two snot back into her nostrils before it flowed out again.

Qin Mu’s face was full of smiles. As he busied himself, he smiled apologetically. “Dao brother, the water in your bucket can mend the Black Mountain that has split open. The Black Mountain is the world tree that has been burnt, right?”

The little girl sucked in the Snot that had flowed to the side of her mouth with all her might and asked in an old-fashioned manner, “What do you want?”

Qin Mu stopped repairing the Black Mountain and stared at the water in the bucket, the water in the bucket reflected his face. “Then, if it’s a world tree without roots, will the water in your bucket be able to save it? There’s such a world tree without roots in the domain of my divine treasures...”
