Chapter 1418 — Slaying This Villain for the World
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 4
Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign did not die at the hands of Heavenly Venerable Moon and Heavenly Venerable Ling, but was killed by me. If Heavenly Venerable Moon and Heavenly Venerable Ling had killed Mother Earth, how could Mother Earth have gone to Xuandu to rebel and wreak havoc?
It was precisely because I grieved for the Heavenly Court soldiers who died at Mother Earth's hands in Xuandu, and was indignant on behalf of those soldiers' lives, that I disregarded life and death and challenged Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign of my own accord! " Tears seemed to glimmer in his eyes. Stirred and impassioned, he cried in a loud voice, "A million Heavenly Court soldiers, their bones not yet cold, cannot be allowed to die in vain!
A blood debt must be repaid in blood!
Ancestral God King cannot avenge them, the Heavenly Court cannot avenge them, but I, Shen Mu, Lord of the Heavenly Alliance, am willing to bear the infamy of slaying Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign! Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign was executed by me on the reverse side of the Ancestral Court. Heavenly Venerable Gong can bear witness, Heavenly Consort Qiang can also bear witness! Divine Emperor Langxuan, you too can bear witness for me! " He said indignantly, "The blood of my Heavenly Court soldiers cannot flow in vain! Divine Emperor Langxuan, if you wish to pursue the crime of Heavenly Venerable Moon killing Mother Earth Primordial Sovereign, you need not seek her out!
Come to me instead. All the blame, I, Shen Mu, will bear alone! " Divine Emperor Langxuan's face flushed red, and he was tongue-tied, unable to speak for a long while. Heavenly Venerable Gong coughed once and said calmly, "What Heavenly Venerable Mu says is true. I can bear witness. " Heavenly Consort Qiang hesitated, then smiled, "I can also bear witness. Divine Emperor, at that time we were all on the reverse side of the Ancestral Court, and witnessed the case of Heavenly Venerable Mu executing Mother Earth. " Divine Emperor Langxuan was utterly speechless.
He silently retreated to his original place and sat down. Heavenly Venerable Fire said coldly, "Even if Mother Earth had nothing to do with Heavenly Venerable Moon and Heavenly Venerable Ling, in the era of the Supreme Emperors the people had no means to live, and the Northern and Southern Supreme Emperors warred against each other, with untold multitudes of common folk dead and wounded! Both the Southern Supreme Emperor and the Northern Supreme Emperor had immense lust for power, intending to overturn the heavens, intending rebellion. Their crime is worthy of execution!
" Shen Mu said abruptly, "I have heard that the first Southern Supreme Emperor was Heavenly Venerable Xiao.
Heavenly Venerable Fire, as to whether the Southern Supreme Emperor's Heavenly Court was rebelling against the Heavenly Court, why not ask Heavenly Venerable Xiao?
" "You! " Heavenly Venerable Fire suddenly looked toward him, fire blazing in his eyes, a savage light in his gaze, killing intent surging!
"Enough.
" Heavenly Venerable Hao raised his hand, and at once silence fell all around. Everyone's gaze involuntarily gathered upon him. Heavenly Venerable Hao was expressionless, sitting there withered and still, and said calmly, "Enough. If we only vie with words, even if we argue for three days and three nights, for three years or five, we may still keep arguing, never reaching a result.
. . This world does not rely on glib tongues, but on strength.
" He slowly rose to his feet and said indifferently, "History is written by the victors.
No matter who is right and who is wrong, a thousand years from now none can escape the historian's brush.
We Ten Heavenly Venerables hold the power of the world, hold the Heavenly Court's divine artifacts, hold the strongest martial force!
