Tales of Herding Gods

Chapter 1043: Heaven Han Celestial Heavens

Qin Mu looked at the young man. His gaze flashed as he thought, ‘Luo Xiao, the prophet of the Great Void’s masters of creation, brought three shocking predictions. The first was that the Grand Emperor would invade and that Celestial Venerable Yun, a human, would help them fight against him and overcome the crisis.’

The first one came true. Celestial Venerable Yun headed into the Great Void and helped the masters of creation there set up and trap the Grand Emperor’s corporeal body and kill a part of him.

Spirit Ancestor Luo Xiao’s second prophecy was on the Void Bridge and the Paramita World, which also turned out to be true.

After the Grand Emperor died, the Great Void was no longer hospitable. So, the leaders like Divine King Lang Wo visualized the Void Bridge to build the Paramita World.

Luo Xiao’s third prediction was that a holy infant would appear for the masters of creation with the Grand Primordium Origin Stone. His birth represented the supreme power of the masters of creation, and he would hold the Grand Emperor’s seal while descending on his sacrificial altar.

That prediction was about Qin Mu.

Qin Mu smiled and looked at Luo Xiao, who was sitting beside him. Luo Xiao became uncomfortable, and his eyes rolled. He thought, ‘Did he figure out my origins? Impossible. I’m a culmination of the consciousness visualization of the strong practitioners of my race. My corporeal body is the same as normal beings. Even ancient gods can’t figure me out…’

His third eye was hidden too. All that was left was some red parts. His clothing was also different from those of the masters of creation. He wore fashionable clothing.

‘The one who told Luo Xiao the three predictions was likely me. This young master of creation thought of me as his ancestors’ consciousness, and he will return to the Great Void to tell them about the three prophecies.’

Qin Mu blinked and thought, ‘In the future, I will become their master of creation when I enter the Great Void. He will go crazy after seeing me enter the Ancestor Spirit World to see him. However, if I don’t tell him about the prophecies, will the future be changed? Nevertheless, it’s only so I can keep Carefree Village peaceful. It’s also only then that I will become the masters of creation’s holy infant so I can use them…’

Luo Xiao was sizing him up too. He saw something like a scar on Qin Mu’s eyebrows and thought, ‘This guy called Qin Mu gives me a familiar feeling. Could he be a master of creation too? The people outside are cunning, I can’t give myself away. After all, I’m the wisest of our race…’

Qin Mu looked out the window and thought, ‘Luo Xiao left the Great Void a million years ago to see if the outside world was safe. He asked me how to get to the celestial heavens, which means that the Dragon Han Celestial Heavens has been established. I just don’t know which year I’m in. If it’s the first year and I head to the celestial heavens now, I wonder whether I’ll meet the version of me causing trouble at the Jade Pool…’

He was doubtful since he had used the identity of Mu Qing to appear, not his own.

If he met himself in the celestial heavens, wouldn’t there be two of him at the same time?

According to the rules of unchanging substance, one of them would disappear since it was impossible for two of the same substance to exist simultaneously!

Luo Xiao examined him quietly, thinking, ‘This Qin Mu is weird… Ah—’

He almost jumped as he watched Qin Mu’s face change. He changed his appearance in a moment!

Qin Mu became a youth that was 15 to 16 years old and had a greenhorn vibe coming from his childish look.

“Don’t panic, Brother Luo Xiao.”

Qin Mu said with a pleasant countenance, “I have a lot of enemies, so I have to change my face to act. It’s safe now that I’ve changed my face.”

Luo Xiao was frightened as he exclaimed, “I thought you were some big shot considering your luxurious clothing and carriage. I only begged you for a ride because I thought you could head to the celestial heavens safely. Since you have a lot of enemies, I better get off now!”

Qin Mu hastily pulled him back and smiled. “Now that I’ve changed my face, I have no enemies! Brother Luo, don’t be so panicky and don’t act in such a greenhorn manner. Truth be told, the celestial heavens is guarded, and if you want to head there, you need some reputation and name. Thus, you have to follow me…”

Suddenly, the dragon qilin’s voice came from outside. “Cult Master, look down!”

Qin Mu walked out of the carriage and looked down at the celestial river. He was shocked by what he saw.

He saw thousands of human divine arts practitioners gathered on the plains beneath, all of them working to build palaces. They were gathering ores and using their own magic power to form blazing flames to forge divine gold.

They had already built a large city and were building a gate then. It was the size of the celestial heavens’ Southern Heavenly Gate.

‘Humans are building the celestial heavens?’

Qin Mu was stunned and got the dragon qilin to stop the carriage. He said, shocked, “The humans’ celestial heavens is the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens. Could this celestial heavens be built on the ground instead of floating in the air?”

It was different from the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens that he imagined!

At the same time, many human gods in the god realm flew towards the celestial river. There were Daoists and monks among them. Qin Mu even saw Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yue!

The Daoist and monk were Dao Ancestor and Brahma!

Outside of them, there were young human experts in the god realm. Their cultivation wasn’t weak.

Qin Mu was visibly perplexed at seeing how high these ancient practitioners’ cultivations were. Celestial palaces floated behind them as their primordial spirits towered over the Jade Pool. Some stood on the God Execution Stage instead.

‘It should be quite some time after I left the Jade Pool Meeting,’ Qin Mu thought.

He stood on the carriage as Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yue flew closer to the celestial river. He heard Celestial Venerable Yue’s voice. “Old Dao, the celestial river is in the air. To use its water to lift our celestial heavens up, we need to make sure that your algebra is correct to ensure that the pressure on each palace won’t cause the celestial palaces to fall.”

“Relax, Celestial Venerable Yue.”

Dao Ancestor held the compass while algebra runes flew around him. He said, “My calculation won’t be wrong. When Celestial Venerable Mu advised me then, I realized the marvels of algebra. I’m prepared to enter the path with algebra. Celestial Venerable Yue, after I’m done, we need your spatial technique to fold the celestial river. Can you do that?”

“This is natural.”

Celestial Venerable Yue was heroic looking and mesmerizing as she spoke to Celestial Venerable Ling. “Sister Ling, stop researching your unchanging substance divine art that stops time for substances. Come and help.”

She was clearly the backbone of these people.

Meanwhile, Celestial Venerable Ling still didn’t care about her appearance, just like when Qin Mu last saw her. She wore a leopard print skirt and grass shoes and was always talking to herself in ways others couldn’t understand.

Meanwhile, Brahma grew fat. He had a smile on his face as he held his golden alms bowl as if he was ready to beg for alms.

Celestial Venerable Yue prepared to use her magic power to utilize the divine art to lead the celestial river so that a tributary of it would come and lift the humans’ celestial palaces. At that moment, she saw the Heavenly Dragon Treasure Carriage above, as well as Qin Mu, who stood on it.

Qin Mu smiled and walked towards them. The dragons shrunk and followed him with the carriage.

“Celestial Venerable Yun, why did you become Celestial Venerable Mu again?”

Celestial Venerable Yue waved her hands and shockingly said, “Didn’t you set out to find Celestial Venerable Huo? Did you not find him? Where did this carriage come from? Wow, what a handsome bunch of large dragons! There’s a beautiful maiden inside too. You have been flirting around again to the point that you hooked up with this maiden…”

Celestial Venerable Ling looked towards them, her gaze set on Qin Mu. She then retracted her gaze, gave a cold humph, and said, “Fake.” After she finished, she dwelled in her own world again.

Suddenly, she asked in alarm, “Why is my hairpin missing? Does anyone see it?”

Qin Mu walked up, feeling hot-blooded as he greeted, “Everyone, it’s been a while.”

When he said that, his eyes turned red, as he wanted to cry. However, he suppressed his tears.

Celestial Venerable Yue and the others treated him like Celestial Venerable Yun, meaning that Celestial Venerable Yun had started to impersonate him to do things by this time.

“How is it long? You only left half a year ago.”

Celestial Venerable Yue complained, “Why didn’t Celestial Venerable Huo return with you? He’s still following Celestial Venerable Hao? He’s still stubborn, thinking that he needs to rely on half-gods’ power, right? Doesn’t he know that Celestial Venerable Yu died at the hands of Celestial Venerable Hao? We shouldn’t pull him into the Heaven Alliance then… Who is this?”

She looked at Luo Xiao and was visibly confused.

“This is Luo Xiao.”

Qin Mu smiled. “He’s a Dao friend I met by chance. He’s an honest man. Are you all planning to lift the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens into the air?”

“Heaven Han Celestial Heavens? Did you name our celestial heavens by yourself again?”

Celestial Venerable Yue angrily said, “Your name doesn’t sound nice at all! We fought for our celestial heavens! We have to name it together with the best name. Right, Celestial Venerable Ling?”

Celestial Venerable Ling’s hair scattered since she lost her peachwood hairpin. She shoved her hair behind her back and said, “Any name is fine. Heaven Han sounds good. Isn’t it Han if we lift it into the air?”

Celestial Venerable Yue had no choice and asked Dao Ancestor, “Old Dao, are you done calculating?”

“Soon, soon, stop rushing me.”

Dao Ancestor had no choice, and he mumbled, “How troublesome. I have no status in front of women. I’m not marrying anyone in this life. That way, my research won’t be hindered!”

The cheerful Brahma smiled gently at the side. “Women are definitely troublesome. I better find a place to sleep. I feel like I will find my path soon…”

Celestial Venerable Yue prepared her divine art as she rushed them. “Sister Ling, come and help. You too, Celestial Venerable Yun. I don’t have enough faith in myself to split the celestial river!”

Qin Mu walked forward and used his grand magic power. With a swipe of his hand, the water of the celestial river was split, and a tributary emerged.

Celestial Venerable Yue was pleasantly surprised, saying, “Your magic power has improved.”

She utilized her spatial divine art to control the water. Her figure landed on the tributary’s source as she stood on a wave. She hollered, “Old Dao, quickly calculate the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens’ pressure points! Celestial Venerable Yun and the others, come here and help!”

The masses flew forward and restrained the falling tributary. It surged down towards half of the human celestial heavens.

Dao Ancestor quickly calculated the pressure points and sealed those pressure points of the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens. The celestial river surged and drilled underneath the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens. It spread out according to the pressure points Dao Ancestor calculated and gradually elevated this god city.

The human celestial heavens was far smaller than the real celestial heavens. It was a minute god city in this vast Primordial Realm. It was even smaller than the Mother Earth Primordial Tree Heaven System.

However, the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens’ rise got everyone cheering. Countless people rushed forward to see the spectacle, and their cheers shook the heavens and earth.

Faraway, half-gods came to observe. Yet, they left after smirking at it.

“Humans are country-bumpkins, including their Celestial Venerables.”

The half-gods all mocked them from afar. “They took so long to build such a small god city after the emperor permitted them to build a human celestial heavens in the Primordial Realm.”

It rose higher and higher as the celestial river tributary contracted. In the end, it became like a leaf, the Heaven Han Celestial Heavens being lifted to the side of the celestial river.

It wasn’t large, not even the width of the celestial river.

Celestial Venerable Yue and the other divine arts practitioners rushed through the Southern Heavenly Gate joyfully. They were unusually excited and happy.

Qin Mu watched them and smiled. From the side, Luo Xiao asked timidly, “When will we head to the celestial heavens?”

“Soon,” Qin Mu replied.

Luo Xiao shrunk his head and thought, ‘I don’t know when I’ll reach the celestial heavens following him. Also, he has a lot of enemies, so I should sneak away…’

He was about to quietly leave when Celestial Venerable Ling came over. She frowned and said, “Celestial Venerable Yun, why are you still using Celestial Venerable Mu’s face? Are you not changing back?”

Qin Mu looked at her and smiled. “It’s easier to do things this way.”

Celestial Venerable Ling gave a cold humph. “Don’t fall into Celestial Venerable Mu’s prestige.”

Qin Mu nodded and said, “I won’t. I even prepared a sword pellet.”
