Tales of Herding Gods

In the 16th epoch, in the Long River of chaos, in Jade capital city, two streaks of fire suddenly burned along the strings of the zither. Fourth Young Master Zixiao’s expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly shook his hand. The Flames had already burned his fingers!

The fourth young master blew out a breath in an attempt to extinguish the flames on his fingers. However, the flames suddenly became incomparably fierce. He opened his mouth and blew, actually burning his skin and flesh open. The flesh and blood on his two fingers were instantly burned away, white bones were revealed.

Pa Pa.

The white bones were also burned to ashes, and the flames followed his two fingers to light up the other fingers!

Fourth Young Master raised his hand to chop off his right hand. With a wave of his sleeve, the severed hand flew into the river of chaos. His right hand burned fiercely in the river of chaos, and soon, it turned into a pile of ashes that no longer existed.

Fourth Young Master Zi Xiao’s expression sank, and he flicked his sleeve. “The old thing under the world tree actually escaped!”

In the Great Black Mountain, Qin Mu’s heart stirred slightly. ‘looks like this person is an old friend of mine from the past universe. Of course, I haven’t returned to the past universe yet, so he’s an old friend of mine in the future...’

To him, getting acquainted with the existence under the world tree that could contend against fourth young master was something that would happen in the future, but to that person, it was something that had already happened.

‘however, I wasn’t that bad in the past universe. At any rate, I still have friends.’

Qin Mu revealed a smile and walked toward the world tree. Along the way, he saw many black mountains that were like bug pupae that had already been broken open. The prehistoric strong practitioners that were parasitic on the Black Mountains were breaking out of the pupae.

The power of the Great Black Mountains was much bigger than the five elders of Feng Shu who were entrenched in the heaven. The prehistoric strong practitioners that had come out of the Black Mountains were still very weak. They were drawing the spirit qi and spirit energy of the Heaven and earth. In a breath’s time, the stars in the sky were on the verge of collapsing, the starlight also became much dimmer.

When Qin Mu walked over, he saw two to three stars that had been extinguished due to the plundering of these prehistoric strong practitioners, turning into death stars.

‘maybe they aren’t friends...’

His face gradually sank. Along the way, he had felt a deep enmity.

The vast majority of the prehistoric strong practitioners entrenched in the great black mountain were showing strong enmity towards him!

‘If I was a good friend of the existence under the world tree, how could these smugglers reveal such intense hostility towards me?’

Qin Mu’s face was as heavy as water, and the back of his neck was drenched in sweat. He thought to himself, ‘this might not be a visit to an old friend, but it might also be a suicide mission...’

The original Great Black Mountain had long become lush and green with the revival of the World Tree, becoming a sacred ground that made people envious. Now that these prehistoric strong practitioners had sneaked over, they devoured the spirit qi and spirit energy of Heaven and earth to replenish the consumption in the destruction tribulation, this caused this place to become incomparably barren.

Qin Mu frowned slightly.

The World tree in front of him, on the other hand, became even more lush and strong, displaying the upright and majestic bearing that could support all the worlds in the world.

“Li ancestral home tree, one year old, one wither and flourish. Chaos can not be burnt out, after the tribulation, it will be reborn again.”

Under the World Tree, the old voice was singing. The voice suddenly carried resentment, and it suddenly went on a killing spree. “It’s too easy to cut down my tree, and even the Heavens Burn My Roots! Fortunately, Spring has come to take care of me, returning my Brocade City!”

Qin Mu ignored the enmity of others and walked up to the song. He saw a pond under the tree in front of him. The pond wasn’t big and a white-haired old man was bathing in the pond. His hands were tugging at the white towel behind his back.

Qin Mu was stunned.

The Spiritual Qi in the pond was overbearing. It was actually the Dao Dew and primordial chaos primordial liquid that dripped from too easy’s dao tree. It was mixed together by the old man and turned into his bath.

Tai Yi’s dao tree would most likely appear at night and drip down the Dao dew that was used to repair black mountain.

After Xu Shenghua left, the remaining dao dew should not be enough to create such a large bath. However, there was quite a number of it. Such a treasure was actually used by the old man to bathe!

Not only was he soaking in the dao dew and primordial chaos essence, he was actually bathing inside. It was truly a reckless waste of a heavenly treasure!

The white-haired old man was in high spirits in the pond. When he saw Qin Mu coming, he smiled and said, “Seventh brother of Miluo Palace, come down and take a bath together!”

Qin Mu shook his head and said, “I have the body of primordial chaos, so there’s no need for me to borrow such a treasure.”

“Is the body of primordial chaos very powerful? Not Necessarily!”

The white-haired old man laughed loudly and stood up from the pond. Qin Mu moved his gaze away to look at the world tree while the old man walked to the side of the pond and picked up his clothes, putting them on neatly, “Fourth brother of Miro Palace has been chased away by me, so even zi Xiao would be at a disadvantage with that divine art of mine. Seventh brother of Miro Palace, you owe me a favor.”

Qin Mu retracted his gaze and looked at the Elder’s face. He smiled and said, “Dao brother had severed fourth young master’s zither string just to save Feng Shu and the other two elders. This favor isn’t for me, it’s for Feng Shu and the other two elders.”

The white-haired elder shook his head, “What kind of people are Feng Shu and the other two elders? Do you think they are worthy of me giving them a favor?”? These five old geezers didn’t know how to do other things. They only knew how to dig holes under the trees every day, afraid that they wouldn’t have the chance to live to the next era. They were really annoying. “In this era, they still plan to stay here. I’m really annoyed with them, that’s why I chased them out.”

Qin Mu greeted him and said, “May I ask how I should address you, Dao Brother? Where did you come from?”

The white-haired old man gave a faint smile, “Seventh brother of Miro Palace, you still don’t know where I came from? When you came to see me back then, you could see where I came from with a single glance. You were very respectful and said you owed me a lot of favors, even writing me an IOU.”

Qin Mu opened the vertical eye in the heart of his brows to look, but he couldn’t see the old man’s roots. He could only see a divine light enveloping his true body, but the vertical eye in the heart of his brows couldn’t see through it.

‘back then, the Master of Miluo Palace worshiped me, but later on, it was too easy to cut me down. Fortunately, in order to prevent those little fellows from sneaking in from the roots, he had no choice but to take dao dew every day to water my roots and breathe a sigh of relief for me. ‘I took advantage of the unsealing of Miluo Palace and resurrected from death. It wasn’t easy for me to plant my roots, but you used Taiyi’s axe to cut me down again.’

The white-haired old man took a glance at qin mu and said, “After you chopped off my roots, you planted them in your own divine treasure. I didn’t expect you to actually plant them alive. What a strange thing!”

Qin Mu stared at him with wide eyes, unable to speak.

“It was only then that I suddenly understood why you said you owed me a lot of face and even gave me an IOU.”

The white-haired old man shook his head and sighed, “I originally thought that I had taken advantage of seventh young master, who was slippery and merciless, but I didn’t expect that it wasn’t an IOU but a huge pit!”

Qin Mu’s mind went blank. He looked at him, then at the world tree beside him, then turned his head back to look at him again and again.

“So what if you cut me, I’ll just regenerate. Who asked me to take your iou?”

The white-haired old man frowned, but his spirit was immediately roused, he smiled. “Tai Yi also wanted to cut me. Fortunately, it was you who spoke up, so he didn’t kill me. “I finally have a chance to catch my breath. The earthquakes here every day aren’t from Miluo Palace, but my roots are stealing the energy of destruction to allow me to grow.”

Qin Mu suddenly remembered that when the saplings of the world tree grew, earthquakes often happened on the Great Black Mountain. After every earthquake, a large portion of the saplings of the world tree would suddenly spring out, and their growth speed was astonishing!

At that time, he had guessed that the rapid growth of the world tree was caused by the mischief of Miluo Palace. They had intentionally allowed the world tree to grow so that it would be convenient for the prehistoric strong practitioners to sneak over.

He hadn’t expected that the earthquakes weren’t caused by Miluo Palace, but by the roots of the world tree, stealing the Qi of chaos to allow it to grow rapidly!

“I’ve always been on Tenterhooks, afraid that Tai Yi would go crazy and slash me again. Luckily, he left.”

The white-haired elder smiled. “Tai Yi left you to repair Black Mountain, but you also left, leaving Xu Shenghua behind. He didn’t even have a smile on his face every day, which was truly boring. “Later, Xu Shenghua also left, so I came out to walk around. The little fellows hidden in my roots were also exposed by me. “Now, you know my background, right?”

Qin Mu finally calmed down and bowed before asking again, “May I ask how to address you, Dao Brother?”

The white-haired old man said leisurely, “The name was given by someone else. I was originally a perfectly fine tree, so how could I have a name? However, the Master of Miluo Palace called me old man Wuya.”

Qin Mu nodded silently, he suddenly said, “There’s no limit to life and there’s no limit to Dao. Fellow Daoist is indeed worthy of the title of Old Man Wuya.”. “However, I don’t think that fellow Daoist is a person who does nothing. “If fellow Daoist releases so many strong practitioners from the prehistoric era, it will only endanger the seventeenth epoch and make it quickly disappear. “Since fellow Daoist has come back to life, why not let the seventeenth epoch last longer?”

Old Man Wu ya glanced at him and asked, “Whether the seventeenth epoch lasts longer has nothing to do with me.”

Qin Mu was slightly stunned. “If the seventeenth epoch lasts longer, the great calamity of destruction will arrive later. Perhaps the living beings of the seventeenth epoch can even solve the great calamity of destruction...”

“What does it have to do with me?”

Old Man Wuya chuckled, “I absorb energy from the chaos, and every time I destroy the great calamity, it’s the time for me to grow. Not only do I not wish for the seventeenth epoch to last for a long time, I even wish for it to end even faster. Old Seven of Miluo Palace, you have found the wrong person.”

The corners of Qin Mu’s eyes twitched, and he suddenly smiled. “Different paths lead to different strategies. Looks like I’ve come to the wrong place. Farewell.”

“Don’t be in a hurry to leave.”

Old Man Wu ya flapped his sleeves, and the branches and leaves of the World tree fluttered in the wind. He smiled and said, “It’s rare for us to meet again, so how can we leave without catching up?”

Qin Mu laughed loudly. “For Dao brother, it’s catching up, but for me, it’s not. I still have some important matters to attend to, so I Won’t disturb you anymore. Farewell.”

He turned around to leave, and Old Man Wu Ya’s voice suddenly came from behind him, he said leisurely, “Miluo Palace’s seventh brother, who sent you back to the past to let us meet? I asked you this question before, but you didn’t answer. Now I understand.”

In front of Qin Mu, the sky suddenly dimmed. Beyond the area covered by the world tree was a scene of the chaotic apocalypse.

Qin Mu stopped in his tracks.

Old Man Wu Ya’s laughter came from behind him. “So it’s me, I sent you back to the past. No wonder you didn’t tell me.”

Qin Mu had a smile on his face as he looked down at his palm. The path of great change flowed in his palm and faintly transformed into a great change divine axe. He smiled. “Dao brother, why did great change want to Chop You?”

“This matter isn’t big, but it’s not small.”

Old Man Wu ya stroked his white beard and said with a smile, “I let the Master of Miluo Palace chop him to death, so he naturally wants to take revenge. Why, do you want to Chop Me Too?”
