Tales of Herding Gods

‘empress dowager seems to be even crazier than the last time I saw her.’

Qin Mu was slightly bewildered. Not only did empress dowager’s symptoms not lessen, they had even worsened. She was even worse than the last time, crazier than before.

In fact, the current empress dowager could no longer be called empress dowager, nor could she be called yuanmu. Instead, she should be called the goddess of sinkhole.

Back in the ancestral court’s jade capital, ancient god Taiji had been eager for quick success. He had forcibly fused the empress and Yuanmu together. Their consciousnesses had fused into one, and neither had destroyed the other. Instead, they had become a whole, they had become a strange state where there was a person in each of them.

Ancient god Taiji had tried to find a way for his brother and sister to fuse together and Achieve Dao. In the end, he had created the ultimate goddess, a strange person who had achieved dao.

The goddess of sinkhole had two personalities. One of them thought she was the empress while the other thought she was the prime minister. However, in reality, they were both part of the goddess of sinkhole. It was just that she had been tortured to the point of going crazy, she hadn’t realized this.

The Empress and the Prime Minister had fought for their entire lives. It was still fine when they were two lotuses, but if they were in the same body at the same time, it was no small matter.

Splash, the sound of water was deafening.

Qin Mu and heavenly venerate gong were struck by the water of the Underworld River and came to sinkhole from the huge crack.

In the sky above sinkhole, there were dead stars and constellations. Huge planets floated above their heads and were broken into pieces. They were pulled by the great abyss, and occasionally, there would be stars falling into the Great Abyss, giving off dazzling lights.

There were even heavens of destruction that floated here and were pulled over, captured by the Great Abyss, and torn apart.

The Underworld River rushed forward, and when it came here, it was also drawn by the great abyss and poured into this unfathomable crack in the universe.

Qin Mu stuck his head out from the ten thousand heavenly wheels, and his gaze flickered. The returning ruins had become more complete than the last time he had come here, and it should have returned to its original appearance.

The last time he had come here, the Heavenly River had poured into the Eastern Sea of the origin world. It hadn’t flowed directly into the great abyss, but into it instead.

Now, the Heavenly River had returned to its original path and flowed through Youdu, turning into the river of Styx in Youdu. Only then did it return to the original appearance of the universe.

Suddenly, the great abyss of returning ruins swallowed too many stars and fragments of the heavens, creating a tide that spewed out streams of light.

This was the tide of returning ruins, Something Qin Mu had encountered the last time he had come here.

However, with the injection of the river of Styx, the tide of returning ruins spewed out even more violently and magnificently. The streams of light were vast and mighty like another Heavenly River formed by light and shadow that spewed into the void, flying to an unknown place.

However, the Underworld River continued to pour into the Great Abyss and didn’t spurt out along with the tide of sinkhole.

Two huge flowers intertwined with each other and rose slowly from the Great Abyss. The Underworld River then coiled around the twin lotuses and flowed into the depths of the great abyss.

The twin lotuses were delicate and beautiful. In such a harsh environment, they were still very charming.

“Heavenly venerate gong, don’t you find it strange?”

Qin Mu looked at the two huge flowers in a daze and suddenly said, “Ancient gods have eggs, Dao, sacrificial offerings, and heaven and earth. Among the dao-born ancient gods, there are heavenly duke, Earth count, and Heavenly Yin Empress Sisters.”

Heavenly Venerate Gong didn’t know what he wanted to say and listened quietly.

“Heavenly Duke, Earth count, and Heavenly Yin empress don’t have accompanying treasures. Only the Empress sisters have accompanying treasures.”

Qin Mu stretched out his upper body from the ten thousand paths heavenly wheel and pointed at the twin lotuses. “These twin lotuses are their accompanying treasures! As the innate five great heavens, from Tai Yi to tai chi, they all have accompanying treasures!”

Celestial Master Gong’s expression changed slightly, and he probed, “What do you mean?”

“The Empress Sisters, could they not be Dao Sheng ancient gods but gods like Fifth Great Heavens?”

Qin Mu voiced out the doubts in his heart, “The geography of sinkhole is extremely special. Dao Sheng Ancient God is an ancient god that appeared when Dao was born, just like Heavenly Duke Earth Count Heavenly Yin. These three ancient gods were all related to life, and life existed, so they were also born because of it. However, it didn’t seem to be the case in sinkhole. “Then why was sinkhole born? “What era was it born in?”

Heavenly venerate gong raised the ten thousand paths heavenly wheel and sized up the tide of sinkhole. He waited for the tide to return before throwing him into the great abyss. “Heavenly venerate Mu, you’re already at the end of your life, so why are you still in the mood to study these strange things?”

“It’s fine to learn the Dao in the morning and die in the evening. Heavenly Venerate Gong, you can’t compare to Supreme Emperor, absolute beginning, or heavenly venerate vast expanse because you don’t have much thirst for knowledge.”

Qin Mu smiled. “That’s why you can’t compare to me.”

Heavenly venerate gong sneered. “When we first met back then, how harmonious were we? “I borrowed your ability to escape from the ancestral court and owed you a favor. Later on, I returned it to you. “When the dragon and the human split, I was killed for snatching the corporeal body of the heavenly emperor. You saved my life and I returned it to you. “Heavenly venerate mu, if not for your stubbornness, would things have ended up like this?”

Qin Mu recalled the past and sighed endlessly. He asked, “Gong, do you think I would have saved you back then if I knew what you did?”

“No.”

Heavenly venerate gong said resolutely, “You would kick me when I was down and wish for me to die.”

Qin Mu said indifferently, “So I don’t need to remind you that Empress Empress is right behind you.”

The hairs on heavenly venerate gong’s body stood on end. He turned his head back abruptly and saw Empress Empress Empress really standing behind him!

The empress dowager had been reincarnated as concubine Yan Tian. The two women looked different. Concubine Yan had always been one of the ten celestial masters, so few people doubted her identity.

But now, she had reverted back to empress dowager’s appearance.

The woman was expressionless. She stood there and stared at Celestial Master Gong without moving.

Celestial Master Gong heaved a sigh of relief, he said, “Concubine Yan Tian, although I have joined Celestial Master Hao and you have joined Celestial Master Xiao, there is no grudge between us. On the contrary, we have the same interests. “There’s no need for us to fight to the death. In the future, whether Heavenly Lord Xiao wins or Heavenly Lord Haotian wins, we’ll still be heavenly lords.”

Empress Emperor continued to stare at her without saying a word.

Heavenly Lord Gong frowned slightly. He also sensed that something was wrong with her. He continued, “Although we had some grudges in the immemorial era, that’s already in the past. Let bygones be bygones.”

Empress Emperor was still staring at her. She suddenly raised her hand. Celestial Master Gong was about to block, but he missed. Empress Emperor’s hand had already touched her face.

Celestial Master Gong’s skin trembled and he did not dare to move.

Empress Emperor stroked her face for a while and whispered, “Sister, have you done enough? There is a good body here. You can transfer to this body. There is no need to compete with me.”

Celestial Master Gong felt his scalp go numb. “A good body? Are you talking about me?”

The voice of another woman came from the back of the Empress’head. It sounded like Madam Yuan Mu’s voice, she giggled and said, “Sister, how can I fight with you? You are clearly fighting with me! If you really want to separate from me and kill Celestial Master Gong, you can stay in her body!”

“Shut up, Slut!”Empress Dowager was furious, her black hair flying in the wind.

Behind her head, Madam Yuanmu giggled and said, “I’m a slut, how can you be better? You’re also a slut! I only slept with brother-in-law and only slept with brother-in-law alone. But over the past million years, how many gigolos have you raised? How many gigolos?”

She said sarcastically, “If you line up these gigolos that you raised, I’m afraid they’ll line up from the South Heaven Gate to the North Heaven Gate, right?”

“Bitch!”

“You’re the Bitch!”

Celestial Master Gong felt a chill in his heart. He quietly took a step back, but behind him was the sinkhole great abyss.

She did not know what had happened to the empress, but she could tell that the empress was in a very bad situation, and her own situation was even worse!

The Empress and Yuanmu’s voices argued for a moment, but it suddenly calmed down. The Empress lowered her head, her beautiful hair covering her face, so that no one could see her face.

The voices of two different women could be heard coming from her mouth. One of them chuckled and said, “We sisters have been fighting for so many years. Aren’t we tired of fighting? Speaking of which, it’s really embarrassing to fight for such a stinky man for so long.”

“Yeah.”

Another voice said, “The stinky man is still alive and well. Instead, we have shed all pretense of cordiality and hurt our Sisterhood.”

Empress Dowager raised her head slowly. It was still the same face, but the mole on the center of her brows was divided into two colors, red and black, each taking half.

Qin Mu stuck his head out from the ten thousand heavenly wheels and shuddered when he saw this scene. He quietly retreated, but he had no way out either. Behind him was great abyss of returning ruins!

“We are so strong, so why should we rely on this and that? Isn’t it better for us to be the Heavenly Emperor Ourselves? Whichever man we fancy, we can just snatch it away.”

Empress Dowager said, “What you said makes sense. Even the earth count can’t beat us, so we really don’t have to fight over a smelly man.”

She seemed to be talking to herself, giving people a feeling of extreme madness. “We should kill the tenth heavenly venerate first, there’s one right in front of us...”

Hearing that, Celestial Master Gong immediately made a move and charged at Empress Dowager. He said sternly, “Concubine Yan, you have gone mad...”

Boom!

The Empress raised her hand and the entire sinkhole shook violently. The next moment, Celestial Master Gong lay on the ground, still unable to regain his senses.

Her bones were almost completely broken, and the Heavenly Palace and Heavenly Court were also badly damaged.

However, the strange thing was that the Empress did not continue to attack her.

After a long time, Celestial Master Gong suppressed his injuries and used the profound creation skill to repair the broken bones. He struggled to get up and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

At that moment, she realized that Empress Emperor was raising a huge furnace by the sinkhole. She was secretly using the DAO Flame to burn the furnace red.

“Shh --”

Empress Emperor turned around and made a gesture to silence her. She chuckled and said, “Sister is asleep. This Little Bitch is finally asleep. I’m refining a divine furnace to turn this little bitch into a panacea.”

Her eyes flickered with excitement as she muttered under her breath, looking like a scoundrel who had done something bad.

When heavenly venerate gong saw the material used for the Pill Furnace, wasn’t it heavenly venerate vast expanse’s ten thousand paths heavenly wheel?

Heavenly venerate vast expanse’s supreme treasure had extraordinary power. It had seventy-two heaven palaces and one hundred and sixteen treasure halls, but this supreme treasure was actually chopped into pieces by this crazy woman and used as the material for refining the treasure!

Heavenly Venerate Gong’s heart jumped, and he hurriedly went to look for Qin Mu who was in the ten thousand heavenly wheels. He saw Qin Mu being held in the palm of the mad woman with an innocent expression.

The mad woman was using him as a torch to light it up and refine the pill furnace.

Heavenly venerate gong was astonished. What kind of tyrannical existence was heavenly venerate mu? If they were to fight head-on, heavenly venerate gong didn’t dare to say that he would definitely win!

And now, Qin Mu had actually been subdued by empress dowager, igniting all of his cultivation into Dao Fire!

Fear and amusement filled heavenly venerate Gong’s heart. ‘thief Mu is dead for sure. Even if I don’t throw him into sinkhole, he’s dead for sure. Empress Dowager has gone mad, so I can’t be left here.’

Just as she was about to leave, empress dowager suddenly fell to the ground, sound asleep.

Celestial Master Gong was stunned. Just as he was about to take the opportunity to leave, the Empress suddenly stood up straight and appeared behind her in the blink of an eye, a cold smile appeared on her face. “How could I not know that the little slut wants to plot against me? It would be very difficult for me to refine her to death, but the little slut is the father-creator palace master. She is proficient in the Dao of creation, the Dao of forging, and is in charge of the divine weapon of creation. If the treasure she created could refine me to death, then she would definitely be able to refine herself to death! Therefore, I gave her this chance to create this great furnace. “Do you think my plan is clever, heavenly venerate gong?”

Heavenly venerate gong forced a smile. “The empress has boundless wisdom...”

The Empress grabbed her and held her in her palm. She walked toward the great furnace and muttered, “Even though heavenly venerate Mu’s dao path is high, his magic power is weak. I still need to ignite another heavenly venerate to refine this treasure...”

After a moment, Qin Mu and heavenly venerate gong were like two huge human-shaped torches that were filled with blazing dao flames. They were placed under the great furnace.

The two of them looked at each other and saw that the other’s expression was rather helpless.

“Have you guys seen my sister, that Little Slut?”

Suddenly empress di changed her tone to Madam Yuanmu’s and said excitedly to the two people under the great furnace, “That little slut must be thinking about how to Plot Against Me, right?”

Qin Mu said helplessly, “Sister Yuan Mu, stop fooling around...”
