Tales of Herding Gods

Celestial Heavens had a lot of soldiers and horses, and the numerous flying ships covered the sky. The four great Heavenly Teachers led the armies of the four great sects, and the four Emperors led the armies of the four heavens. Each of them held a large army.

Other than them were the Divine Martial Second Guards, the Dragon Might Second Guards, and the Celestial River Navy.

The might mobilised by Celestial Heavens this time was no small matter. It was to flatten Carefree Village and the Paramita Void!

North Extremities’ army was dark and gloomy. No matter where they went, people always avoided them. They were very unpopular.

Son of Heavenly Yin stood on a devil-masked ship. The sea of the netherworld churned underneath and waves splashed out. He was also looking around the place.

Celestial Venerable Xu’s shout has reached his ears and his heart was stirred. He instantly saw through the trickery of the Great Void.

The four great Heavenly Teacher’s understanding of Youdu divine arts wasn’t as profound as his; Bai Yuqiong and the rest might not be able to see it but he could clearly see the trap.

At some unknown point in time, a new layer of spacetime had appeared in the Great Void. This layer of spacetime had actually overlaid itself with the Great Void.

The armies of Celestial Heavens had just entered the Great Void and was walking in the world of the living. However, at any time, they cound enter a completely different spacetime.

And that completely different spacetime was actually Youdu!

Youdu of the Great Void!

“Truly daring, the cowards of Carefree Village and the Great Void actually constructed Youdu here and became a local emperor![1]”

Son of Heavenly Yin was rather unhappy. “I’m only known as emperor in North Heaven Mingdu; I do not dare to call myself Earth Count. And yet the villagers of the Great Void actually formed its own world and even created another Earth Count.”

Suddenly, spacetime seemed to have become blurry as darkness flowed over. Soon, it swept across heaven and earth and shrouded the countless armies of Celestial Heavens.

In the darkness, the gods were like candle fire in a dark night. They gave off divine light to prevent the darkness from encroaching further.

Right at this moment, a chubby baby with three heads, six arms, and nine eyes slowly rose from the darkness and appeared in front of Celestial Heavens’ armies.

“Pfft!”

A goddess couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and she said in a quiet voice, “This Earth Count is quite cute.”

Many other goddesses laughed and said, “If he was smaller, it would be fun to cradle him.”

“Don’t laugh!”

The three-headed, six-armed, and nine-eyed chubby baby clenched his six fists. He was embarrassed and angry, and his childish voice rang out, “I’ll kill whoever dares to laugh!”

The armies of Celestial Heavens all burst out into laughter.

“Don’t laugh-”

Qin Fengqing’s face became flushed, and his voice carried a hint of tears. He said in exasperation, “My little brother can beat you guys to death! Mother, they are laughing at me!”

Everyone laughed even louder.

Son of Heavenly Yin had a grim expression, and he quietly said, “Son of Youdu... As expected of the first lifeform born in Youdu. He’s so powerful that even I feel threatened!”

Not all gods and devils of Celestial Heavens had the same accumulations as Son of Heavenly Yin. Only a few people could see that Qin Fengqing’s cultivation was unfathomably dense!

However, Qin Fengqing’s realm was still at Celestial River realm: on par with Divine Bridge Realm.

This big baby knew nothing about cultivation. In the past when he shared a body with Qin Mu, it was always Qin Mu who cultivated and explored paths, skills, and divine arts. When he separated from Qin Mu, Qin Mu was still at Celestial River Realm and hadn’t cultivated to god realm yet.

He had used the eye that Qin Mu had dug out to reconstruct his corporeal body; both of them could be said to have corporeal bodies at Celestial River Realm. The difference is that the path Qin Fengqing had taken was akin to the path of half-gods before the creation of realms, while Qin Mu continued to cultivate to god realm.

However, Qin Fengqing’s strength could not be measured by using realms as he was a devil god since his birth: a realmless devil god!

Qin Fengqing was difference from half-gods. He did not rely on his bloodline but rather the Great Dao of Youdu and the devil nature and qi that had invaded his body while he was born.

Compared to half-gods, he had a higher potential which even attracted the jealousy of Earth Count who wanted to break free of the restraint of the Great Dao and find his own path.

He was more like a combination of a half-god and an ancient god.

Son of Heavenly Yin looked at Celestial Venerable Xu, but her expression didn’t change. Son of Heavenly Yin then looked at Celestial Venerable Huo, who was expressionless.

Suddenly, Celestial Venerable Xu opened her mouth, “Little brother...”

Qin Fengqing looked at Celestial Venerable Xu and smiled, “Only Big Earth Count can call me little brother. You are his daughter, call me Uncle Fengqing.”

Celestial Venerable Xu snorted and said indifferently, “Your Great Dao of Youdu is very strong, but you aren’t my match. If you want to die, I’ll fulfill your wish.”

“Do you think I’m scared?”

Qin Fengqing said angrily, “However, it seems I really can’t beat you. I’m here to tell you guys that if you walk through my Youdu, you can also enter the Paramita Void.”

Celestial Venerable Xu was slightly stunned, and she slightly nodded. “You have a loyal heart, truly commendable”

Qin Fengqing said with a smile, “That’s not what I meant. What I meant was that I had laid down all kinds of dangers in my Youdu. You guys are delivering my food right to me. Bah, I was planning to trick you guys into coming in, so why did I say it out?”

Celestial Venerable Xu gave a cold humph, and flames suddenly burst forth from her head and two feet. Those were Youdu devil flames, and they surged like twin Nine Bends Yellow Springs[1]. However, the Yellow Springs were in flames!

The vertical eye in the heart of Qin Fengqing’s brows opened up, and instantly, butterfly-shaped Dao markings filled the air. He said excitedly, “You are very strong; you must taste very delicious! There’s one more thing...”

The two Yellow Springs, one in front and one behind, swept out. The Dao markings between Qin Fengqing’s brows met the Yellow Springs, but it shattered with a bang.

Qin Fengqing turned his head, and the vertical eye on his second head shone brightly. It was shattered once again. His body spun, and the light from his third devil eye met Yellow Springs. His body trembled as he flew backward!

Bang-

The entire Great Void Youdu sank down with him, and the darkness that filled the sky immediately dissipated.

Celestial Venerable Xu’s second Nine Bends Yellow Springs missed. As she looked into Great Void Youdu, she saw the three-headed and six-armed chubby baby running was running around barefooted. There was no resemblance to an expert at all!

Qin Fengqing’s voice came from the Great Void and Youdu. He chuckled and said, “If you guys want to bet or make an agreement, you can make an oath to me, this little Earth Count! I do things fairly and won’t be biased towards the masters of creation, humans, or gods. I can eat everything!”

His voice was filled with pride. “Big Earth Count can’t come here. If you want to make an oath, you can only go to me. I’m not picky about food!”

Celestial Venerable Xu snorted coldly, and the light in her eyes shone brightly and shot into Youdu, planning to execute this fat baby.

However, the fat baby’s speed was astonishing. He dodged left and right, avoiding the divine art of her devil eye. Seeing that he couldn’t dodge it anymore, he suddenly flipped over and actually pulled out a divine sword. Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh. The sword light shot in all directions and severed the two rays of light!

Celestial Venerable Xu was astonished. “Celestial Venerable Mu’s and Celestial Venerable Qin’s Sword Path! He actually knows it!”

What Qin Fengqing had displayed was Qin Mu’s and Founding Emperor’s sword skills, and they were not bad. He had caught her off guard and broken her devil eye divine art!

The impression Son of Youdu gave to the people of the world had always been dumb and cute. Never did they expect his sword skills to be this good.

She was about to take action once again when she saw Qin Fengqing running in the Great Void Youdu to the Void Bridge. He entered the three rooms and vanished.

Celestial Venerable Xu hesitated and didn’t chase after him.

Regarding the Void Bridge and the three rooms, she still had lingering fears.

[1] Nine Bends Yellow Springs is the river that flows through Youdu which is shaped like Earth Count’s horns.
