Tales of Herding Gods

Those villagers were still beating him up, wanting to beat him to death. Celestial Venerable Huo was furious, but at that moment, a basin of black dog blood splashed on his face.

Celestial Venerable Huo stood there blankly, drenched in the black dog's blood.

Some of the black dog blood flowed into the heart of his brows. There was a hole there that had been pierced through by the corporeal body of Ancestral God King with Heaven Duke. The hole was bright, and the dog blood flowed into his brain.

If it was an ordinary person, they would have died long ago, but a Celestial Venerable was still a Celestial Venerable.

A young man wielded a kitchen knife and chopped at his head while shouting, "His spell was broken by the black dog's blood. Quickly chop him to death and take his head to receive the reward…"

Before he could say the word 'reward', Celestial Venerable Huo's fist landed on his face, and the young man exploded into a mist of blood!

Even though Celestial Venerable Huo's celestial palace and divine treasures had collapsed, his corporeal body was still that of a Celestial Venerable.

These villagers were just ordinary people, how could they be his match?

Celestial Venerable Huo's expression was dark as he unleashed a massacre. Soon, all the women, children, old, and young in the village collapsed in pools of blood, leaving no one alive.

"You bunch of traitors, I was the one who protected all of you, allowing all of you to survive in this cruel world and have children. Yet, all of you are repaying kindness with enmity…"

Celestial Venerable Huo dragged his heavy footsteps as he staggered forward. Some blood kept flowing out of his mouth, but it was unknown if it was the black dog's blood or his own.

His destination was the closest god city. He left South Heaven and headed to Eternal Peace.

"You were raised by me, yet you attacked me. Without my protection, you would be the insects of Eternal Peace and would have long been wiped out by the half-gods! You deserved to die, so don't blame me. Hehe, don't blame me…"

He still had one last life-saving straw, and that was Celestial Venerable Mu. As long as he reached Eternal Peace, he could convince Qin Mu to save his life!

If he couldn't convince Qin Mu, he would convince Celestial Venerable Yun!

Also, Celestial Venerable Yue had a soft heart. If he knelt down and kowtowed to admit his mistake, Celestial Venerable Yue wouldn't be able to bear it and would plead with Qin Mu.

He also had many secrets of the celestial heavens, and these were his capital to survive and even advance.

Betraying Emperor Hao Tian and the celestial heavens didn't burden him at all. On the contrary, he would become the hero of the human race.

"Celestial Venerable Yun will arrange an image of me bearing the burden of humiliation, hiding in the enemy's camp for a million years, not hesitating to carry the infamy of selling my race for glory, selling my ancestors for glory. Hehe, it's best to be muddle-headed. It's hard for them to differentiate right from wrong, so no matter what, isn't it just based on their mouths?"

"I will become the most dazzling hero of the human race. Even Celestial Venerable Mu's reputation can't be compared to mine. Hehe, he will understand the times and let me be the leader of the human race…"

He moved forward with difficulty and executed Creation Mysterious Technique to repair the injuries on his body. However, with his realm falling, he couldn't recover in a short while.

Celestial Venerable Huo wasn't worried about his destroyed divine treasures. The Seven Celestial Venerables of Dragon Han were existences that created realms from nothing. Now that his divine treasures were destroyed, he could cultivate the results of Eternal Peace's reform.

He also had clones hiding in Eternal Peace, and the results of Eternal Peace's reform weren't hidden from him. He could cultivate according to the new system of Eternal Peace, and his abilities would definitely be much better than before!

Along the way, he avoided the villages of Southern Heaven as much as possible to avoid being discovered. However, how could he not be discovered?

Ancestral God King had already given the order for everyone in Southern Heaven to search for him. Celestial Venerable Huo took a deep breath and killed everyone who discovered him, leaving no survivors.

Later on, he decided not to avoid the villages along the way and walked into them with a gloomy face.

After a moment, he walked out of the village. Behind him was a ground full of corpses.

"I will avenge you, my people."

Celestial Venerable Huo said silently, "You were killed by Ancestral God King, Celestial Venerable Xu, and Mistress Yuanmu. You were killed by Celestial Emperor Hao. If they hadn't forced me, you wouldn't have had to die. I, Celestial Venerable Long Hanhuo, will definitely take revenge for you!"

…

Finally, when night fell, he came to the god city of this heaven.

The divine city was brightly lit, and there was no one guarding the city tower. The city gate was wide open, and the divine soldiers and divine generals guarding the city were nowhere to be seen.

Celestial Venerable Huo shook the scabs on his body, and they fell all over the ground. The wound in the heart of his brows had also shrunk a lot. The creation technique he had learned from Eternal Peace was useful.

However, Ancestral God King's strike was too powerful, and it left him with a very serious Dao injury. He couldn't recover in a short time.

"Master!"

Celestial Venerable Huo walked into the city, and he suddenly saw Yan Yazi leading his disciples to kneel down. In front of them was a sea of black.

Celestial Venerable Huo's voice was filled with delight as he said in a hoarse voice, "Yan Yazi, you are indeed my most valued disciple. I know…"

"Master, why did you betray the celestial heavens and His Majesty?"

Yan Yazi raised his head and his eyes were filled with tears. He slowly pulled out a Fire Mystic Saber and choked on his tears. "You made it hard for me…"

Celestial Venerable Huo froze.

Yan Yazi propped himself up with his knife and stood up. His aura burst forth and locked onto Qin Mu. With tears streaming down his face, he said, "Master, the person I respect the most is you. You taught me that the ruler, the minister, the father, and the son must be loyal to Celestial Emperor. If you betray him, you will be worse than pigs and dogs. I don't want to be a disloyal person."

Celestial Venerable Huo clenched his fists and panted heavily as he stared at Yan Yazi.

Yan Yazi's tears slid down his cheeks, but his face revealed a faint smile and excitement. "Master, I am your beloved disciple, right? You value me the most. You must also hope that Southern Heaven can flourish in my hands, right? Master, don't resist me, let me carry your head to the celestial heavens to claim credit!"

Celestial Venerable Huo laughed loudly, but he coughed again, coughing up blood. "Good disciple, good disciple! As expected of someone I taught!"

"Of course!"

Yan Yazi also laughed. "Master, I've learned so much from you, you don't have to resist. Junior brothers, send master on his way."

He was so excited that his voice was slightly hoarse. He dragged out his last words. "Let master die faster, don't let master be in too much pain!"

Behind him, hundreds of Celestial Venerable Huo's disciples stood up and executed all kinds of divine weapons and divine arts to attack him.

Celestial Venerable Huo was furious, and he attacked ferociously. He went against the divine arts that he had imparted to him and smashed a disciple into pieces with a palm. With a shout, the disciples staggered.

Yan Yazi didn't make a move. Instead, he strolled leisurely outside the battlefield.

He was an expert on Emperor's Throne, but he was abnormally cautious. Celestial Venerable Huo had already suffered heavy injuries, and he didn't have much magic power left. His Dao injuries were also very severe, but he was extremely fearful of Celestial Venerable Huo and didn't dare to make a move recklessly.

After all, even though Celestial Venerable Huo didn't have much cultivation left, his corporeal body was still that of a Celestial Venerable.

Cultivating to the peak of the corporeal body was close to attaining the Dao Body. This was the capital that Celestial Venerable Huo had to reach this point!

Soon, all the disciples were slaughtered by Celestial Venerable Huo. There were corpses everywhere, and Yan Yazi's pupils contracted.

Celestial Venerable Huo stood in the center of the corpse and said coldly, "You are all people that I have taught, a bunch of dogs that I have raised. I have a clear grasp of every one of your weaknesses. Killing you all is as easy as flipping my hand, including you, Yan Yazi!"

He suddenly turned around and faced Yan Yazi's Fire Mysterious Knife!

Yan Yazi brazenly made a move and said with a smile, "Master, now there are no junior brothers and sisters to fight for credit with me! That's right, I was taught by you, but you are too weak now. You aren't my match with just your corporeal body!"

Celestial Venerable Huo raised his hand to block, and Yan Yazi roared as he spun around him. His black knife was like lightning as it slashed down continuously. He shouted sternly, "Master, are you dead or not!"

Celestial Venerable Huo's injuries became more severe, but he was still abnormally calm. Suddenly, he saw a flaw, and he flicked the five fingers of his right hand continuously, sending the Fire Mysterious Knife flying.

Yan Yazi was astonished. Celestial Venerable Huo had already tapped the heart of his brows.

The heart of Yan Yazi's brows exploded, and a huge hole opened up in his skull. He hurriedly flew back and escaped far away like a flash in the flames. "Master, you can't escape!"

Boom!

The Spirit Energy Mutual Shift Bridge in the city was swept by him from afar, and it collapsed with a loud bang, cutting off Celestial Venerable Huo's thoughts of escaping into Eternal Peace.

Celestial Venerable Huo's heart sank. He turned around and left the god city, heading towards another one.

He stumbled, but his qi and blood gradually returned to normal. In his body, the divine treasures of Five Elements, Six Directions, Seven Stars, Celestial Being, Life and Death, and Celestial River were reopened by him. He even planted a Builder Tree Innate Divine Bridge to unify the divine treasures.

His cultivation and magic power had risen to the Celestial River Realm. If he took another step forward, he could cultivate the system of the new celestial palace that was passed down in Eternal Peace.

Unknowingly, he came to a small village and saw the villagers beating gongs and drums. They carried cleavers, hoes, and other farming tools and rushed out of the village to kill him.

"After you die, I will avenge you."

Celestial Venerable Huo muttered and was about to kill him when he saw a young man appear in the village. He had his hands behind his back as he looked up at a green tree.

It was a World Tree, and even though the young man under it didn't look old, his sideburns were full of white hair.

"Celestial Venerable Mu!"

Celestial Venerable Huo was surprised and delighted. He ignored the villagers that were rushing over and laughed loudly. "Celestial Venerable Mu, are you here to save me? You and I really have telepathy…"

Qin Mu stood under the tree and didn't look at him. Instead, he raised his hand and gently pointed.

A wheel of light spun and covered Celestial Venerable Huo within, not allowing him to dodge at all.

This light swirled around, and Celestial Venerable Huo felt like he was in a dream. When he opened his eyes to take a look, he saw that the injuries on his body had completely vanished. He hurriedly touched his face, and it had actually recovered to its original state!

He was surprised and delighted. At this moment, a kitchen knife slashed his shoulder.

His Celestial Venerable corporeal body was actually sliced into his flesh by an ordinary kitchen knife. An unimaginable pain came, and tears flowed from Celestial Venerable Huo's eyes.

He suddenly realized that his magic power had also vanished. There was no vital qi in his body, nor was there any divine treasures!

He was as weak as these ignorant villagers!

"Kill him!"

The villagers' faces revealed fervent excitement, and their faces swayed in front of Celestial Venerable Huo, looking incomparably distorted.

The three teeth of a dung rake stabbed into Celestial Venerable Huo's head and into his brain. Celestial Venerable Huo opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but someone stabbed him in the chest with a hunting spear.

He lost his strength and fell to the ground. The villagers around him were abnormally excited as they swung their rods and knives at him.

"Wait!"

He heard someone shout, "Don't ruin his face! We still have to cut off his head to receive our reward!"

Celestial Venerable Huo's vision turned dark, and he could only feel a rough hand grabbing onto his hair. A knife was placed on his neck, and it was slicing his head off.

His consciousness fell into complete darkness.

At this moment, he heard the sound of fingers snapping.

Under the World Tree, Qin Mu snapped his fingers, and Celestial Venerable Huo's corporeal body recovered. His soul flew back into his corporeal body, and his consciousness regained consciousness.

"Unchanging divine art?"

Celestial Venerable Huo was surprised and delighted. He smiled and said, "Celestial Venerable Mu, you can't bear to kill me, right? You're just punishing me, I know my mistake!"

Qin Mu walked out from under the World Tree, and it moved with him. Celestial Venerable Huo was also moved by a force.

Not long later, he followed Qin Mu to the second village.

Another group of villagers rushed out as though they didn't see Qin Mu and only saw Celestial Venerable Huo. They cried out excitedly and rushed over with all kinds of crude weapons.

Celestial Venerable Huo fell into a pool of blood again. He felt someone grabbing his hair and cutting his neck with a knife.

He snapped his fingers, and everything returned to normal.

Celestial Venerable Huo followed Qin Mu involuntarily and shouted, "Celestial Venerable Mu, I really know my mistake. With my help, the world can be set! I know…"

Beside another village, he was killed again.

The sound of fingers snapping rang out, and Celestial Venerable Huo revived. He followed Qin Mu to the next village.

"Celestial Venerable Mu, you should be appeased, right?"

Celestial Venerable Huo suppressed his fear and said with a smile, "If we work together, we will be invincible! Now that the situation is great, I can help you get rid of Tai Chu, get rid of Celestial Emperor Hao…"

He was hacked to death by a bunch of delighted villagers.

Towards the end, as he repeated it more times, Celestial Venerable Huo couldn't help but feel a deep fear. Qin Mu had been repeating the same thing over again, using the path of reincarnation to dispel all of his cultivation. He wanted him to be hacked to death by the foolish people of Southern Heaven and then be revived!

During this process, Qin Mu didn't even take a look at him or say a word to him!

The fear in Celestial Venerable Huo's heart grew. 'He wants to kill me, he really wants me to die! He's just playing with me…'

Finally, Qin Mu stopped and said with a calm expression, "I'm tired. I thought that watching you die over again would make me feel happy and give me the pleasure of taking revenge for the humans of Southern Heaven. However, I realized that after Southern Heaven's foolish people killed you, they were still foolish people. Your death over again doesn't make me feel much joy."

A glimmer of hope appeared in Celestial Venerable Huo's heart, and he forced a smile. "Celestial Venerable Mu, I really know I'm wrong. It's good to learn from my mistakes and change. I'm still useful. I can be your dog and fight for you. I only hope…"

"If you know your mistake, you can be forgiven. If so, why do we need the law?"

Qin Mu shook his head and still didn't look at him. He opened his fingers.

Peng, peng, peng. Celestial Venerable Huo's head, body, and limbs shattered into pieces, and his soul emerged.

Qin Mu clenched his five fingers tightly and walked away.

Celestial Venerable Huo's soul struggled for a moment before exploding, turning into a lump of black soul sand.

Following which, the black sand collapsed into a ball of chaos qi!

A gust of wind blew over, and the chaotic aura dissipated in the world without a trace.
