Chapter 1459 — Heaven's Will Has Always Favored Itself Alone
The Herdsman of the Wasteland Page 2 of 2
The road to Xuandu had been opened by the Heavenly River; the campaign against the Heavenly Duke was now on the agenda! The marquis commanders of the Heavenly Court were already armed and ready; the tower ships and great warships of the Heavenly River Navy sailed in mighty array, pressing on day and night toward Xuandu, while behind them countless smaller tower ships hauled supplies.
Along the way, star after star was kindled by powerful deities to shine upon the Heavenly River, so that the great river was like a belt of jade. — The reason they did not take the Spirit-Energy Translocation Bridge was that a calamity had befallen Xuandu: the bridge had been destroyed, and even the Heavenly Venerable Yu, divine artifact of the Ancestor God King, had been suppressed by the Heavenly Duke.
"The Heavenly Dao is impartial; the Great Dao is for all!
" Rumors spread through the myriad heavens and worlds: "The Heavenly Duke has fallen, and the Heavenly Dao has turned private!
The Ten Heavenly Venerables mean to turn the common instrument of the Heavenly Dao to their own use. From now on it is no world held in common, but a world held in private!
This is the sorrow of all living beings!
" "Kings and marquises, generals and ministers are born to their kind; common folk are slaves for generations! " "From now on you will pay a tax to breathe the air and a fee to feel the sun!
" Such rumors circulated through the myriad heavens and worlds for a time.
Someone asked the Heavenly Venerable Hong about it, and he said, "Merely the cries of the incompetent. Pay them no mind.
" Sure enough, the rumors stirred no great storm, and soon subsided into silence.
At this time, Tian Shu, Zai Fu, Zhe Huali, and Luo Wushuang came to the Hundred Thousand Black Mountains of the Ancestral Court and found Shen Mu. Shen Mu, armed and ready to set out, said to the four, "In this battle, life and death cannot be foretold.
I shall share life and death with you all.
" Zai Fu laughed.
"What is there to fear? "
