Tales of Herding Gods

The resurrected heavenly duke stretched his body, and the boundless power in his body vanished. It was replaced by a mortal body, which made him not quite used to it.

Furthermore, when Qin Mu and consort Tian Yin had molded his soul, they had also given him a divine soul and added seven souls.

This divine soul wasn’t Celestial Master Hong, but a soul created using the path of Heavenly Yin. It was still a piece of white paper without any consciousness.

He had been an ancient god in the past, so he only had three souls and no seven souls. Now that he had seven souls, he was a little curious. He hadn’t gotten used to seven souls yet.

In the past, he had been an innate divine saint, the strongest ancient god. He had been high up in the sky, and even when he had split his incarnations, they would float in the sky and rarely land on the ground.

Now, his feet were on the ground, stepping on the soil. The touch from his feet and toes made him curious. He bent down and reached out to touch the soil between his toes. He put it under his nose and smelled it.

Goddess Tian Yin revealed a look of disdain and did not hide it.

Not far away, Luo Wushuang looked down and pretended not to see anything. Zhe Huali’s eyes almost popped out. The butcher and Heavenly King Tian Shu looked at each other and smiled.

Heavenly Duke smiled and stretched out his palm to carefully examine his five fingers before carefully examining his palm lines.

Qin Mu urged him, “Dao brother, earth count is still waiting for you.”

Only then did heavenly duke come back to his senses and bow to thank the two of them. He then bowed to butcher and the rest.

Butcher asked, “Heavenly Duke, how do you feel after becoming a mortal? Do you feel disappointed?”

“I feel a sense of loss.”

Heavenly Duke did not hide it, he said, “In the past, my strength was too great. Now, I only have the strength of the souls of the heavens and the earth. My physical body is no different from a mortal’s, so I naturally feel a sense of loss. Tai Yi told me that I would be able to break free from the shackles of the Heavenly Dao. I thought that I would be able to transcend and achieve the dao like him. I did not expect that I would end up transcending like this.”

Butcher said, “You were lofty in the past, but you couldn’t surpass Heavenly Dao. Now that you have become a mortal, you have the possibility of transcending.”

Heavenly Duke smiled. “Perhaps.”

Heavenly King Tian Shu stood up and said, “Heavenly Duke, I’ll send you to Youdu to meet Earth Count.”

Heavenly Duke followed him and the two of them walked out of Heavenly Yin world. Tian Shu planned to open the gate of Heaven influence, but Qin Mu followed, “Heavenly king, Youdu wants to kill me, so I can’t go to Youdu. Help me take a look at heavenly venerate Youdu’s injuries. I’m going to the ancestral court this time to invite my lord to Youdu to treat heavenly venerate Youdu’s injuries, so I Hope Heavenly King Can Help Me.”

Tian Shu acknowledged, “Heavenly Duke is dead, and Heavenly Dao belongs to tenth heavenly venerate. His cultivation has greatly improved, so he will definitely create a great pressure on carefree village.”. “I’m afraid I Won’t be able to stay in Youdu for too long. After receiving eternal peace apothecary, I’ll have to return to carefree village.”

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment before saying, “Staying in carefree village for a long time isn’t a good plan. Even if tenth heavenly venerate can’t attack carefree village for the time being, it doesn’t mean that he won’t attack it in the future. Destroying the Void Bridge isn’t difficult for tenth heavenly venerate now.”

“That’s why heavenly venerate Yue followed founding emperor to carefree village to guard it.”

Tian Shu sighed ruefully and said, “They have already made preparations. The Void Bridge is easy to defend but hard to attack. If tenth heavenly venerate wants to attack that place, it won’t be easier than attacking mysterious capital.”

He brought the revived Heavenly Palace into gate of Heaven influence and disappeared.

Qin Mu watched them leave and looked at butcher, Zhe Huali, Luo Wushuang, and the rest who were walking over. He bowed to the three of them and said, “I’ll have to trouble all of you to spare your lives to participate in this battle with me. I’ll be eternally grateful!”

Zhe Huali and Luo Wushuang hurriedly returned the bow. Luo Wushuang said with a straight face, “There’s no such thing as trouble where morality is concerned. Even heavenly venerate doesn’t care about his own safety, so what about us?”

Zhe huali caressed the demon knife and chuckled. “I’ve had a great time with the dragon tooth. Heavenly venerate has already chopped it, so I finally have the capital to brag to the future generations!”

The demon knife and dragon tooth were very comfortable. After drinking the blood of heavenly venerate, the demon knife also grew.

Butcher walked forward and said, “You have to be more careful. If you want to chop people again in the future, call us.”

Qin Mu nodded his head heavily.

The three of them left with big strides. Zhe Huali turned back and waved his hand, “Remember to call us!”

Qin Mu laughed loudly and watched them leave. When their figures disappeared, qin mu said, “Let’s go.”

“Okay.”

A cold and clear voice came from his side, but the owner of the voice was nowhere to be seen. He could only see a shadow beside Qin Mu’s feet.

Youdu.

Tian Shu sent Heavenly Duke to the heart of Earth Count’s brows and immediately went to sacred king Tian Qiren’s manor to seek an audience with heavenly venerate you to check on his injuries.

In the hall on the platform in the heart of Earth count, Heavenly Duke’s figure was too short compared to Earth Count’s primordial spirit. He could only raise his head to look at his fellow Daoist.

“You’ve transcended and been freed. I’m very envious.”

The earthen count’s expression was calm, but there were flames flickering in his eyes, he said, “You’re a living being now. You have three souls, seven spirits, your own thoughts, your own path, your emotions, your joy, sorrow, Joy, and joy. You Don’t have to be controlled by the Great Dao. I don’t know when I’ll be able to be freed like you.”

The Duke of heaven said, “Now I can feel the myriad of emotions in the world. Unknowingly, my understanding of the Heavenly Dao has increased by another level. In the past, I was born from the Heavenly Dao and controlled the Heavenly Dao. However, I did not know why. Now, I am not. Instead, my understanding has become deeper. One gain, one loss. I actually have a strange feeling.”

Earth count said happily, “You are one step closer to becoming a dao. If that is the case, then you should be able to guess the reason why I invited you here, right?”

The Duke of heaven smiled and said, “When you were alive, you did evil, but after you die, you have to settle the score. This is the rule of Hades. When the Duke of Heaven dies, you have to settle the score for the sins that the Duke of Heaven committed when he was alive. The Earth Count is fair and impartial. The reason why he invited me here should be because of this matter.”

The earth count said solemnly, “During the Battle of Celestial Master Hong in Xuandu, he killed countless people. The lives of those who died in his hands are countless. The resentment of the dead in Xuandu is monstrous. According to the laws of Hades, we should capture him, punish him, and suffer in order to wash away the sins on his body. “Celestial Master Hong is dead. Although Celestial Master Hong and Dao Brother are one body, they are different souls. Therefore, Dao brother, please come and ask about the case of Celestial Master Hong…”

Heavenly Duke shook his head and said frankly, “Dao friend, you don’t have to be biased towards me. I Am Me, and Celestial Master Hong is also me. Countless people died in the Battle of Xuandu. They should all be blamed on me. I am willing to be punished.”

The earth count hesitated, “You are now a living person, and Hades rarely punishes the living…”

The heavenly duke said, “But I have also punished the living before. Let Me Bear My Sins, and don’t make things difficult for you.”

The earth count nodded and summoned a ghost king, “The dead in Xuan du form boundless karmic fire. Please go and burn it.”

The Heavenly Duke stood up and followed the Ghost King.

Earth count watched him leave, and heavenly king Tian Shu walked over. When he saw the heavenly duke being taken away by the Ghost King, he asked in astonishment, “Where is he going?”

“He found his own path and went to atone for his sins. It’s also to redeem himself.”

Earth count looked at him and said, “Heavenly venerate mu opened the gate of Heaven and earth in the ancestral court. He’s probably sending people over to treat heavenly venerate you’s injuries. He can’t step into Youdu, so I’ll send you there to receive him.”

Heavenly King Tian Shu stood in his palm and came to the place of Youdu in the ancestral court not long after. There was a heaven gate standing there, and apothecary was standing at the door, looking around. However, Qin Mu was nowhere to be seen.

“Where’s heavenly venerate mu?”Tian Shu asked.

“He ran away and left this divine art here.”

Apothecary said unhappily, “He’s in such a hurry, I don’t know what he’s going to do!”

He marked his collar and muttered, “This Youdu is full of ghostly qi…”

Tian Shu was puzzled, “Tianzun Mu just went through the Battle of Xuandu, where did he run off to this time?”
