Tales of Herding Gods

In the abyss of the Ruins of End, after Celestial Venerable Gong left, Qin Mu was left alone to face Celestial Empress. Qin Mu had a smile on his face as he slowly retreated. Celestial Empress frowned slightly and said, "Celestial Venerable Mu, there's no need to retreat. You can't leave. This is the Ruins of End."

Qin Mu suddenly transformed into a stream of light and escaped with a roar. He laughed and said, "How would I know if I don't try?"

Celestial Empress' body didn't move, and she sneered. Just as Qin Mu was about to fly out of the twin lotuses, the petals of the lotuses suddenly swirled, and in an instant, the two lotuses contracted into buds, sealing him in the greenhouse!

Qin Mu flew around the flower bud, but he couldn't find any exit.

He immediately executed his teleportation divine art, but the teleportation divine art was built on the foundation of space. The space in the greenhouse was completely isolated from the outside world, so his teleportation divine art couldn't break through the space here!

Qin Mu landed on the ground and frowned.

If there was anything in this world that he was afraid of, the abyss of the Ruins of End was definitely one of them.

The Ruins of End divine art was one of the few divine arts that could completely eradicate the soul. There weren't many divine arts that could completely eradicate the soul. The divine arts of the five precelestials and the Grand Emperor's Great Overarching Consciousness Heaven could do it.

Other than that, it was the Ruins of End divine art.

Furthermore, the Ruins of End was a place that Founding Emperor couldn't see through when he achieved the Dao. It was on par with the Ancestral Court Jade Capital and the chaotic space, which showed how extraordinary this place was!

Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu were the Dao gods of this place. Although their abilities could be ranked among the ancient gods, they weren't the top-notch ancient gods. However, the power of the Ruins of End far surpassed those two ancient gods, which showed how strange this place was!

Celestial Empress raised her hand, and the twin lotuses bloomed once again. Outside this lotus, the tide returned, and the lotus slowly sank into the abyss.

"This is my birthplace. After I devour the little slut, I can control everything here. I can control the twin lotuses, let the flowers bloom, let the flowers bloom, and I can control the tide. I can even control the abyss, allowing it to swallow the worlds and countless stars!"

Celestial Empress' expression was indifferent as she said, "Celestial Venerable Mu, even though you have remarkable abilities, your abilities are useless in front of me."

Qin Mu was helpless and sighed. "Goddess is right. You have already surpassed my understanding. I can see Founding Emperor, Grand Emperor, Celestial Venerable Xiao, and Celestial Venerable Hao's power clearly. However, when facing you, I can't see through you. What kind of monster did the ancient god of taiji turn you into…"

"Sweetheart."

Celestial Empress' neck twisted, and her delicate head actually turned half a circle. The back of her head turned to the front, revealing Mistress Yuanmu's face, which was very charming. "You actually call me a monster. I want to eat you, bit by bit, every inch of your skin…"

Celestial Empress twisted her neck back and shouted sternly, "Little slut, don't challenge my bottom line!"

"You have a bottom line?"

Mistress Yuanmu turned her head back and giggled. "I was just saying, I didn't do anything out of line. What about you? How many things have you done that make you feel disgusted? Sister, can you count them all?"

The two of them started to quarrel again, and Qin Mu secretly retreated while thinking to himself, 'As long as my speed is fast enough, I should be able to walk out of here…'

Suddenly, the quarreling stopped, and Qin Mu instantly knew something was wrong. As expected, the faces of Mistress Yuanmu and Celestial Empress gathered on one face, their eyes staring straight at him.

Qin Mu coughed dryly and looked around, exclaiming in admiration, "The scenery here is truly not bad."

Celestial Empress sneered. "Celestial Venerable Mu, if you impart the complete path of reincarnation to me, I can let you live."

"Pass it to me, I can make you happy!" Mistress Yuanmu said excitedly.

Qin Mu's face was as black as iron, so he simply sat down and said, "No matter which one of you I offend, I won't be able to escape death. How about this, I'll impart the path of reincarnation, and you guys listen to me. As for who comprehends it first and who refines it to death first, that's none of my business. What do the two of you think?"

He didn't wait for their reply and continued to chant the scriptures. Celestial Empress immediately listened carefully and didn't dare to miss out on any word. Not long later, she calmed down and focused all her attention on comprehending the path of reincarnation.

Qin Mu's gaze flickered. As he chanted, he raised his head to look, and his face turned ashen.

The twin lotuses had already sunk into the dark abyss, sinking deeper. Looking up, one could only see a line of sky.

Furthermore, the twin lotuses were still sinking, and no one knew where they were going.

Qin Mu looked at the death stars that were sinking beside the two lotuses and the ghost river that had fallen into the abyss. He couldn't help but worry.

Celestial Empress and her sister were comprehending the path of reincarnation, so they would wake up sooner or later. Furthermore, they had learned to be smarter. Even though they still let the lotus bloom, they let it sink into the depths of the Ruins of End, making Qin Mu unable to escape.

If Qin Mu left the lotus, he would be captured by the terrifying gravity of the abyss of the Ruins of End and pulled into the unpredictable darkness.

'These two crazy women have no idea that they aren't two people, but two minds of one person.'

Qin Mu shook his head and thought to himself, 'I've failed this time. I'm in the hands of the only person who can restrain me. The Ruins of End's goddess controls this lotus, and even Founding Emperor who has achieved the Dao might not be her match… Hmm, then what's under the Ruins of End?'

His curiosity was aroused again. As he chanted the scriptures of the Dao of Reincarnation, he stuck his head out to look down.

The moment his head popped out of the lotus, he immediately felt his head becoming incomparably heavy. An unimaginable gravitational force pulled his head into a long and thin line, and at the same time, boundless heat surged over!

Qin Mu hurriedly executed his magic power and pulled his head back with lingering fear.

"No matter if it's Celestial Empress or Mistress Yuanmu, I have studied their corporeal bodies for decades. The Great Dao of the Ruins of End is split into two sides. One side is destruction, and the other side is birth. Even though I haven't fused these two Great Dao, I shouldn't be killed by the abyss of the Ruins of End, right?"

He thought about it, and the ancient god of taiji used the Dao of taiji to merge Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu into one person. Because their consciousnesses were different, the goddess of the Ruins of End was born crazy.

In that case, what if he used the Dao of Taiji to fuse the Great Dao of the Ruins of End that he cultivated?

"I only have a consciousness, so I naturally can't be as crazy as the Ruins of End Divine Lady."

Qin Mu blinked his eyes and thought to himself, 'If I can do this, the Ruins of End won't be able to trap me. The abilities of the Ruins of End's goddess aren't unknown to me. In this way, I will have a chance to survive.'

The twin lotuses were still sinking. The last time Qin Mu had come here, the twin lotuses had only sunk to a certain extent before coming to a stop. However, this time, the twin lotuses were controlled by Celestial Empress and were falling continuously, which made Qin Mu worry.

This woman's condition wasn't right. If she entered the place Founding Emperor had mentioned, it would be incomparably dangerous!

He made a prompt decision and immediately tried to fuse the Great Dao of Taiji with the Dao of the Ruins of End.

When the ancient gods of taiji fused with Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu, something went wrong. Even though the Ruins of End goddess he created was incomparably powerful, she was crazy. This showed that this method wasn't mature, but Qin Mu couldn't care less.

However, when they really fought, Qin Mu still found it difficult. His comprehension of the Dao of Taiji was inferior to that of the ancient gods.

"More importantly, Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu are life and death, and they aren't completely compatible with the yin and yang of the Great Ultimate Dao. The two of them belong to different Great Daos. If the ancient god of Great Ultimate is so reckless, there will naturally be problems."

He couldn't help but sink into deep thought. He let his primordial spirit chant the path of reincarnation while he concentrated on thinking about how to perfectly fuse life and death.

He paced back and forth, trying to fuse the Great Daos of Life and Death with the Great Simplicity Dao, the Great Dao of Taishi Dao, and the Great Dao of Absolute Beginning. However, he was unable to achieve his goal.

At this moment, Qin Mu heard the chanting of his primordial spirit, and his mind was blown. He burst into laughter and said, "I thought about it and tried to find the answer, but I didn't expect that I had already given it to me! I miscalculated, I miscalculated!"

"The path of reincarnation, one life and one death, life and death are all in the cycle of reincarnation. The small ones say the cycle of life, while the big ones say the cycle of matter. If you look further, it's the cycle of life and death of the universe. All living beings, the universe, all desires are due to fate, and the cycle of reincarnation is endless."

"I was only focused on searching the bodies of others like the Five Ancient Gods and didn't look for myself. I see, I see!"

He calmed his mind. The Dao of Reincarnation was something he had learned from Son of Heaven Yin. Son of Heaven Yin's Dao of Reincarnation was already extremely profound, but after Qin Mu's modifications, it became even higher and more unfathomable. Otherwise, Celestial Empress and Yuanmu wouldn't be so engrossed in it, thinking that they could solve their own predicament.

However, no matter if it was Son of Heaven Yin or Qin Mu's improved path of reincarnation, they were both the cycle of life, life, death, and reincarnation. There was no higher level involved, and there were natural restrictions.

With the current Dao of Reincarnation, it was impossible to resolve the predicament of the Ruins of End's Sacred Lady.

This was because the Dao of the Ruins of End was more like the cycle of matter, involving the life and death of the universe.

'If I expand the Dao of Reincarnation further, I can use creation divine arts, Celestial Venerable Ling's unchanging divine art, and Brahma Buddha's Boundless Calamity Sutra. If I deduce further, I can even use the Five Great Daos, including the Dao of Tai Yi! Only then can I explain the cycle of life and death of the universe clearly.'

"However, how to unify this kind of reincarnation path is a difficult problem. Just the cycle of life and death will have the mystery of the fetus. I can use the dream of the Boundless Calamity Sutra to enter the path to avoid the mystery of the fetus. However, if I can reincarnate or even the cycle of life and death in the universe, it will be extremely easy for me to lose myself. I have to find a principle that will never change and won't be affected by the cycle of life and death. Only then can I ensure that I won't fall into confusion during the cycle of reincarnation…"

Qin Mu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stopped. His divine treasure realm opened up, and the World Tree appeared behind him.

"The World Tree can survive the great calamity of life and death in the universe. With the World Tree as the foundation, it can achieve such unification!"

He sat down under the tree and sank into extreme silence. He comprehended the Dao of Reincarnation and tried to raise this Great Dao to a higher level.

Above his head, his primordial spirit was vast. It sat in his celestial heavens and continued to explain the path of reincarnation.

Meanwhile, the Qin Mu at this moment had sunk into nirvana. It was as if he had transformed into a Ruins of End and collapsed.
