Tales of Herding Gods

Shi Qiluo let go of his hand, and Qin Mu rubbed his bones. Shi Qiluo's grip was really strong, almost breaking his bones.

"Goddess is not a first rate brute."

When Qin Mu said this, he took a glance at Shi Qiluo and muttered to himself. Shi Qiluo looked like a boorish man now. He composed himself and continued, "When the ancestral court was broken, Goddess didn't appear and didn't let her divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu descend. In that case, when the back of the ancestral court appeared, why did Goddess let her divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu descend and fight for territory, acting like a boorish man?"

Shi Qiluo sighed. "I can't fight for the front of the ancestral court. If I do, I'll be found out immediately. Besides, the front side of the ancestral court doesn't have much wealth left. However, the back side of the ancestral court is no small matter. Not only does it have more wealth, but it also has countless behemoths. With an expert like the dragon, I have no choice but to fight."

He said seriously, "If I can subdue the dragon and control it to fight, I will have the combat power of two great Celestial Venerables. If I add the divine weapon Celestial Venerable Yu, I will have the combat power of three great Celestial Venerables. It will be easy for me to kill big sister. I just need to devour big sister and combine the two lotuses of the Ruins of End into one. With our celestial palaces, the celestial heavens can be cultivated in one go! When that time comes…"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "When that time comes, the ten Celestial Venerables will have no choice but to bow their heads and submit. Celestial Emperor will also have no choice but to abdicate and give up his position. A generation's empress will rule the world."

His full beard bloomed outwards, and he nodded repeatedly with a smile.

Qin Mu changed the topic. "In that case, which Celestial Venerable told you about the reverse summoning divine art and allowed you to enter the back of the ancestral court to fish in troubled waters?"

Shi Qiluo's eyes widened, and he was dumbfounded. He stuttered, "Why would Celestial Venerable Mu say that?"

Qin Mu sneered and said, "You have a spy among the ten Celestial Venerables! This person formed an alliance with you and told you the reverse summoning divine art before you could descend to the back of the ancestral court. This divine art was created by me a million years ago, and it was only recently circulated and learned by the ten Celestial Venerables. For you to be able to learn it, it was naturally imparted to you by one of the ten Celestial Venerables! Who is this person?"

Shi Qiluo rolled his eyes and stuttered, "It's Celestial Venerable Hong…"

Qin Mu came to a realization and said, "So it's Heavenly Lady Qiang. You don't have to frame a good person like Celestial Venerable Hong. It's no wonder. You are the same as Heavenly Lady Qiang. You are not tolerated by the other Celestial Venerables of the ten Celestial Venerables. The Grand Emperor has a desire to destroy, so he needs an ally. You are the ancient god of destruction, so Heavenly Lady Qiang will naturally find you to be her ally."

Shi Qiluo chuckled. "Don't slander me. Why would I associate myself with someone as infamous as the Grand Emperor? It's Celestial Venerable Hong!"

Qin Mu said plainly, "Birds of a feather flock together. You guys share the same interests, and the Grand Emperor has suffered losses time again. It's reasonable that you and Heavenly Lady Qiang hit it off."

Shiro snorted but didn't deny it.

Qin Mu said plainly, "Since you have an ally, Heavenly Lady Qiang, the ten Celestial Venerables shouldn't be able to deal with you. Why do you want them to sacrifice you?"

Shi Qiluo sighed and frowned. "Because the title of the Grand Emperor is too evil. If Heavenly Lady Qiang is exposed, I will die without a burial place. I have to consider her death…"

"You have the heart to betray Heavenly Lady Qiang."

Qin Mu pointed out the thoughts in Shi Qiluo's heart with a few words and sneered. "You are ready to betray her at any time! You two are indeed like birds of a feather!"

"I'm also planning to betray you at any time!"

Qin Mu stared with his eyes wide open. After a moment, he let out a shaky breath. Mistress Yuanmu was shameless and straightforward, making him unable to hate her.

He stood up and said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "I also want a share of the spoils of the ancestral court. During the Heaven Alliance Meeting, we will support each other. This way, you should be satisfied, right?"

Shi Qiluo stood up and smiled. "In that case, does Celestial Venerable Mu have any thoughts about the behemoths on the back of the ancestral court?"

Qin Mu had originally planned to leave, but he stopped when he heard that. He said with a smile that wasn't a smile, "So that's why you left me behind. You want to take over the huge power of the primordial behemoth?"

Shi Qiluo shook his head. "I don't want to take it all for myself. I'm just afraid that someone will take it all for themselves when the back of the ancestral court opens. I have my own power, so I can't help but worry."

It was rare for him to be serious, and he said seriously, "Isn't Celestial Venerable Mu worried about the situation of countless huge beasts descending on Eternal Peace? How many huge beasts can Eternal Peace withstand?"

Qin Mu also said seriously, "I'm also worried about this. Compared to us, the masters of creation, especially existences like the Grand Emperor, it's easier to control the behemoths. His consciousness is too powerful. If the behemoths fall under his control, it can easily destroy the heavens and myriad worlds! However, it's not impossible to make the masters of creation suffer. I have an idea, and that's to split the benefits of the ancestral court equally and create another beast realm."

He revealed his thoughts and said, "Goddess, please consider my suggestion." After he said that, he walked out of Patriarch Creation's celestial palace.

"Beast World? Summoning huge beasts?"

Shi Qiluo paced around excitedly. "This is an interesting suggestion. In that case, the masters of creation within the ten Celestial Venerables won't be of any use! Not only will Heavenly Lady Qiang be restricted, but the other two masters of creation will be restricted as well… Celestial Venerable Mu, this little fellow has a lot of crooked ideas!"

Qin Mu didn't head straight to the Jade Pool. Instead, he returned to his palace.

It wasn't convenient for him to come out and tell Mistress Yuanmu about the opening of the Beast World. This little girl had a foul mouth and a temper that couldn't be controlled. She would definitely tell the other Celestial Venerables about this.

He only needed to stay in Celestial Venerable Mu's residence and wait for the other Celestial Venerables to pay their respects.

Furthermore, opening up the Beast World would harm the interests of God Emperor Lang Xuan, Celestial Venerable Gong, and Heavenly Lady Qiang. They would definitely offend the three Celestial Venerables, and with Mistress Yuanmu stepping in, he would have less pressure.

He rarely came to this Celestial Venerable Residence. Usually, the ten Celestial Venerables would send palace maids to take care of it. These palace maids were used to monitor Qin Mu's movements.

However, even though Qin Mu didn't come often, Hu Ling'er and Si Yunxiang still came frequently. They used Qin Mu's name to invite guests and entertain the god officials of Patriarch Creation's celestial palace.

Si Yunxiang and Hu Ling'er were in charge of internal affairs, while the other was in charge of external affairs. Their cooperation was flawless, and the two money-grubbers complemented each other, increasing the wealth of Eternal Peace.

It wasn't that Qin Mu didn't want to build his own Celestial Venerable Celestial Palace in the celestial heavens, but firstly, he felt that there was no need for it. Secondly, if he had too much wealth in the celestial heavens, he would have scruples. Therefore, he just kept this Celestial Venerable Residence and didn't add any other assets.

He didn't have many businesses in the celestial heavens, so the gods of Eternal Peace naturally didn't dare to have their own businesses in the celestial heavens.

The meeting of the Heaven Alliance would be held in a few days. Qin Mu stayed in the Celestial Venerable Residence for two to three days without any activity, so no one came to visit.

The rulers of the various heavens were all smart people. They knew that Celestial Venerable Mu's identity was awkward, and if they visited him, they would most likely offend the ten Celestial Venerables. Thus, they called Qin Mu the god of plague behind his back, so how would they dare to pay their respects?

It was rare for Qin Mu to have peace and quiet, so he could sort out his thoughts on comprehending the four great heavenly gates.

"Great Celestial Venerable, Celestial Venerable Gong is here to pay his respects!" a palace maid said in a panic.

Qin Mu was astonished. He stood up and said with a smile, "I thought the other Celestial Venerables would come to visit me, I didn't expect the main person to come first. I'll go and welcome them… Wait a moment, I won't go to welcome them. Go and invite Celestial Venerable Gong to meet me in the main hall."

That palace maid stared with her eyes wide open. He didn't go to welcome Celestial Venerable Ya Palace and let Celestial Venerable Gong meet him in the main hall?

This Celestial Venerable Mu was getting bolder.

The palace maids left in a hurry while Qin Mu came to the main hall and sat upright.

After a moment, Celestial Venerable Gong came to the main hall. When he saw Qin Mu sitting there motionlessly, he snorted coldly and waved his hand to dismiss the palace maid.

Qin Mu stretched out his hand and invited Celestial Venerable Gong to sit on another praying mat. He said, "I accidentally lost control of my cultivation, and my legs are paralyzed. I can't move, please forgive me."

Celestial Venerable Gong sat in front of him and sneered. "I'm proficient in the art of healing, so let me diagnose you. If you aren't paralyzed, I can guarantee that you will be able to recover and really paralyze you, the kind that can't be cured!"

Qin Mu laughed loudly and said seriously, "Divine King, why have you come to find me?"

"You don't know?"

Celestial Venerable Gong said coldly, "Now, the celestial heavens is abuzz with rumors. They say that the Heaven Alliance wants to completely open up the back of the ancestral court and divide it into twelve parts. They also want to open up the beast world and let the primordial behemoths dwell in it. Only by summoning them can the behemoths descend! There are also rumors outside that this is Celestial Venerable Mu's rotten idea!"
