Tales of Herding Gods

“Dreams can not be used as food, nor can they be used as a means of survival! Dreams will only be a burden, causing you to lose your current status, causing you to bleed in front of reality, and causing more humans to die for the illusory dreams!”

Meng Yungui walked faster and faster, chasing after Heavenly Emperor Haotian and the others. He thought to himself, “Dreams are too expensive, and you need to risk your life for them. Dreams are worthless. Anyone can claim that they have dreams, but not everyone has the life to enjoy them!”

He followed Heavenly Emperor Hao. Heavenly Emperor Hao was deep in thought. It was unknown what he was thinking. Suddenly, he said, “Heavenly Master Meng, you are in charge of the Heavenly Court’s economy. How long do you think the heavenly coins can last?”

Meng Yungui Thought for a moment and said, “If we suck the blood from the other heavens, we can last for another ten years. If the heavenly court issues more heavenly coins and buys mineral resources from the other heavens, we can last for another twenty years.”

Heavenly Emperor Vast Heaven gave an ‘Oh’and became interested. “Twenty years? Celestial Master Shang, do you think Heavenly Court can last for another twenty years by issuing more heavenly coins?”

Shang Pingyin stepped out, he bowed and said, “I believe that issuing more heavenly coins is like drinking poison to quench thirst, causing the heavenly coins to collapse even faster. Currently, a portion of the heavenly coins of the ten thousand worlds were concentrated in heavenly court and eternal peace, while the other heavenly coins were concentrated in the hands of the powerful families of the Ten Thousand Worlds. The people of the ten thousand worlds didn’t have much money in their hands. Increasing the issuance of heavenly coins to buy the mines of the ten thousand worlds would only make the additional heavenly coins fall into the hands of the powerful families, making the rich richer and pushing up the price of goods. The poorer the poor, the more likely they would rebel. “Doing so will only speed up the collapse of the heavenly coins.”

Heavenly Emperor Haotian glanced at Meng Yungui and said, “What Celestial Master Shang said makes sense.”

Meng Yungui said indifferently, “Celestial Master Shang only acted based on his intuition and didn’t go through detailed calculations. I have the algebra as proof.”

His vital qi turned into algebra runes and displayed the data of the trade between the heavens and ten thousand worlds. Countless complicated equations were arranged together and countless algebra calculations were performed. They were incomparably precise and could be said to be breathtaking.

“I am in charge of Heaven’s coin-making and know the goods of the heavens and ten thousand worlds like the back of my hand. These goods-making numbers are already accurate to a fuzzy number!”

Meng Yungui said unhurriedly, “Increasing the number of heaven’s coins to a certain extent will push up the prices of goods and people to live in poverty. However, as long as it is controlled properly, all of this can be avoided. “On the other hand, Heavenly Court holds the right to mint coins. They can use the increased issuance of heaven coins to buy eternal peace’s manufacturing factory and suppress eternal peace. They can buy everything in eternal peace without bloodshed.”

He turned to look at Shang Pingyin with a challenging expression. “Celestial Master Shang, your algebra is only a traditional algebra. In terms of attainments, you aren’t higher than me, right?”

Shang pingyin sized up the equations of his vital qi algebra and checked them one by one, he said to heavenly emperor vast heaven, “There are no errors in heavenly teacher Meng’s calculations. I was overthinking. However, I am not convinced when heavenly teacher Meng said that his algebra attainments surpass mine.”

Heavenly Emperor Vast Heaven laughed out loud. “Both of you are the heavenly teachers with the strongest algebra under me. There is no need to fight endlessly for who is first! It’s just that these twenty years have made me a little apprehensive and feel that we should give a discount.”

Meng Yungui bowed and said, “Your Majesty is Wise.”

Shang Pingyin said, “Increasing the issuance of heaven coins is one aspect, and annexing eternal peace is another. As long as we swallow eternal peace, all the worlds in the world will be united, and the heaven coins will no longer be in danger of collapsing.”

Meng Yungui shook his head and said, “What Heavenly Master Shang said is wrong.”

Even though Shang Pingyin had a good temper, he couldn’t help but get angry after being rebuked twice by him. He said indifferently, “What advice does heavenly master Meng have?”

Meng Yungui said, “Just now, Celestial Master Shang said that the additional heavenly coins would only fall into the hands of the powerful families. Even if His Majesty obtained eternal peace and allowed the circulation of the heavenly coins to be unimpeded, the heavenly coins would still fall into the hands of the powerful families. The people of all the worlds would still rebel regardless of whether they obtained eternal peace or not.”

Shang Pingyin raised his eyebrows and said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “Celestial Master Meng, how do you think we can avoid this situation?”

Meng Yungui said, “I think your Majesty’s biggest enemy in ruling the world isn’t eternal peace, nor is it heavenly venerate mu, heavenly venerate ling, and the others. It’s a powerful person who has accumulated countless wealth. In the ten thousand worlds of the heavens, countless powerful families controlled their power and wealth. After a million years, the wealth of the ten thousand worlds of the heavens was concentrated in their hands, resulting in the current situation. They had more and more heaven coins in their hands, while the heaven coins circulating in all the worlds were becoming less and less. As time passed, the grievances of the people accumulated, resulting in the chaos in all the worlds. “The rise of eternal peace only brought forward this chaos by a few years.”

Shang Pingyin snorted. “Celestial Master Meng said so much, but he only said the reason and didn’t say the solution. I really want to hear celestial master Meng’s solution.”

Meng Yungui hesitated for a moment and didn’t continue, “I’m worried that I will be punished for my words.”

Heavenly Emperor Hao laughed out loud, “I’m not a stupid monarch, just say it.”

Meng Yungui bowed and said, “The wealthy and powerful families have too much wealth in their hands. No matter how many more heaven coins are distributed, they will eventually fall into their hands. The only solution is to abolish the wealthy and powerful families. “And the best way to abolish the wealthy and powerful families is to make the best use of their talents...”

“Impudent!”

Shang Pingyin said coldly, “Celestial Master Meng, you are too impudent! Abolishing the powerful families, isn’t the next step going to be a reform? Your Majesty, Meng Yungui is definitely a spy from eternal peace. Please give the order to bring him to God execution platform!”

The other civil and military officials said one after another, “Celestial Master Meng is a human. He is scheming and deceiving people with evil intentions. Your Majesty, Please punish this person!”

Heavenly Emperor Haotian waved his hand and said with a smile, “Alright, Alright. Stop attacking Celestial Master Meng.”. Celestial Master Meng, your words are too direct. It doesn’t match with the past you. My Heavenly Court, from the civil and military officials to the merchants and pawns in the heavenly court, are all powerful aristocratic families that you speak of. Even you are powerful. Your words have offended everyone in the heavenly court!”

He said with a smile that wasn’t a smile, “I am also from a powerful family, so you are trying to change the fate of Heavenly Court. Your words are inappropriate, so I won’t blame you. I will only punish you for half a year.”

Meng Yungui’s gaze dimmed and he bowed. “I accept your punishment.”

Heavenly Emperor Vast heaven gave the order, “These few days, we will follow Heavenly Master Shang’s words and annex eternal peace while increasing the heavenly coins. Heavenly Master Meng, you don’t have to worry about this matter, leave it to heavenly master Shang to handle.”

Meng Yungui said dejectedly, “Yes, Your Majesty.”

The civil and military officials praised in unison, “Your Majesty is Wise!”

Heavenly Emperor Vast Heaven returned to his harem and asked, “Has Heavenly Master Mu returned? I’m still waiting for him to surrender and sign the contract.”

A guard replied, “Heavenly Master Mu hasn’t come yet. The envoys of eternal peace also left a few days ago.”

Heavenly emperor vast heaven said, “They are no longer important, what’s important is heavenly master Mu.”

After two days, Heavenly Emperor vast heaven asked again, “Has Heavenly Emperor Mu returned? I’m still waiting for him to come back and sign the contract.”

The guard replied, “Your Majesty, Heavenly Emperor Mu isn’t in Heavenly Court.”

Heavenly emperor vast heaven frowned.

After another five or six days, heavenly emperor vast heaven asked, “Heavenly Emperor Mu isn’t back yet? If he still isn’t back, I’ll have to order Heavenly Emperor Xu to wipe out half of eternal peace’s population!”

The guard replied, “Heavenly Emperor Mu has arrived at the ancestral court and ordered someone to report that he will be there in another ten days.”

Heavenly Emperor Vast Heaven was furious. “What a Drag!”

Ten days later, Qin Mu came to the Heavenly Court and dawdled for more than ten days. Only then did he sign the contract and leave dejectedly.

Heavenly emperor vast heaven was overjoyed and ordered people to send Heavenly Emperor Mu off.

When Qin Mu left the Heavenly Court, a fierce light shone in heavenly emperor vast heaven’s eyes, and he summoned his minister. “It’s hard for me to feel comfortable with a single day that thief mu is alive. Go and ask Grand Supreme Emperor to kill him while he’s on his way!”

He raised his hand and chopped down heavily. “Tell Supreme Emperor that if he can’t be killed, sink him into the river of chaos in the ancestral court, Jade capital city, and destroy him!”

The minister asked, “Why did your Majesty want to Kill Heavenly Emperor Mu? He has already surrendered...”

“I don’t trust him!”

Heavenly Emperor Clear Sky sneered. “Even if his dao heart is destroyed and he hides from the world, I won’t be able to feel at ease. Only the Dead Celestial Master Mu is the best Celestial Master Mu! The retired emperor can not kill him, but it is still possible to sink him into the chaos. If the river of chaos can not destroy him, at worst...”

He smiled and said leisurely, “At worst, Celestial Master Mu can go back to the past and be his young master Mu. As long as he is not in this universe, I will be at ease.”

The high chancellor shivered and left in a hurry.

On the other side, Shang Ping secretly ordered the Heavenly Palace to increase the supply of heaven coins to purchase the mineral deposits of the various heavens. However, the price of the mineral deposits was unexpectedly high. He had no choice but to continue to increase the supply of heaven coins.

However, this action caused the heaven coins to have an avalanche. The value of the heaven coins rapidly depreciated. In just two months, half of the value had been lost.

Shang Ping couldn’t understand it and was in a terrible state. He carefully recalled Meng Yungui’s algebra formula and there wasn’t a single mistake.

He wanted to ask Meng Yungui for advice but couldn’t bring himself to do so, so he could only order people to investigate.

Another month passed and the algebra experts of heavenly court returned from the various heavens, “Eternal Peace made a move before us and used the heaven’s currency to buy the mines, raising the prices of the mines in many heavens! When the heaven’s currency flooded in and the heaven’s currency flooded in, the value of the heaven’s currency depreciated.”

“Impossible, impossible... eternal peace must spend all the heavenly coins he has accumulated in order to make the heavenly coins flood, pushing up the prices of the ores and causing the value of the heavenly coins to fall...”

Shang Pingyin’s mind went blank, and his legs felt weak. He fell onto his seat and suddenly stood up. “How long ago was eternal peace buying ores?”

“Five years ago.”

The algebra experts from heavenly court answered, “After the Battle of Youdu, eternal peace began to use heavenly coins to buy ores in all the heavens.”

Shang Pingyin frowned and walked around, “Five years ago, five years ago... Oh No! At that time, it was also because heavenly venerate Mu’s Dao Heart was corrupted and he planned to surrender! There’s a trap in this matter! His goal is only to buy time and wait for Heavenly Court to issue more heavenly coins! Quick! Go See His Majesty!”

He flew to the harem and at that moment, he saw many generals who were heading to eternal peace to receive eternal peace’s wealth rushing towards Ling Xiao Hall with their faces swollen.

Shang Pingyin hurriedly stopped a person, that divine general cried out, “Eternal Peace didn’t even acknowledge the contract that heavenly venerate mu signed and chased us back after beating us up! That heavenly venerate Ling said that those she didn’t sign were all useless paper! “We have suffered a loss, so we will report this to His Majesty and execute his nine clans of Eternal Peace!”

Shang Pingyin was flustered, and all of a sudden, the light of a spirit energy mutual shift bridge in heavenly court dimmed, and the originally funnel-shaped spirit energy mutual shift bridge light flow gradually disappeared!

“The psionic mutual shift bridge is broken!”

Shang Pingyin’s heart was in chaos as he cried out, “Quick! Quick! Repair that psionic mutual shift bridge... wait a moment, protect all the psionic mutual shift bridges, be on guard against eternal peace breaking...”

Before he could finish his sentence, another psionic mutual shift bridge’s light vanished in Heavenly Court, followed by the second and third. In a breath’s time, thousands of psionic mutual shift bridges dimmed!

Soon, all the psionic bridges in the heavenly court were completely extinguished.

The heavenly court floated quietly above the ancestral court, far away from all the worlds in the universe. It was like an isolated island that had completely lost contact with all the worlds in the universe.
