Chapter 1492 — This Debt of Gratitude Is Not Yet Repaid
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 4
" He straightened, and saw that the youth Yu Tianzun behind Hao Tianzun was looking at him with a smile full of meaning.
Fire Tianzun's expression did not change; he stood there steady. Hao Tianzun smiled slightly and said to the Ancestor God King, "The God King's wounds are grave.
I could heal them for you — only, the struggle between us should end as well.
What does the God King think? " The Ancestor God King, all four limbs broken, laughed aloud.
"A bet is a bet.
I am willing to become Brother Hao's right hand, to support and assist Brother Hao with all my heart, and see you ascend the great throne! " He touched his head to the ground, kowtowing in fealty.
Hao Tianzun laughed heartily and flicked his sleeve, lifting the Ancestor God King up.
At once the Ancestor God King felt his severed limbs healing at flying speed; the Way wounds left by the Way fire's burning dispersed quickly; his injuries were healed with astonishing speed, and his cultivation climbed step by step! His gaze fell behind Hao Tianzun, and the figures he saw were Hong Tianzun and Lord Heaven.
In the blink of an eye, Hong Tianzun and Lord Heaven merged into one, taking the form of Lord Heaven.
The Ancestor God King lowered his eyes, rose, bowed to Hao Tianzun, and was about to kowtow again. Hao Tianzun hastily caught him by both elbows and laughed. "There is no need.
You and I are both leaders of the demigods; one bow is enough — no need for such ceremony. From now on the God King shall be my Lord Heaven; I shall rely on you to rule Xuandu for me, and to govern the motion of the stars in all the heavens and myriad worlds!
" With that he laughed heartily again.
The Ancestor God King said, "How dare I disobey? " "God King, this mortal body of Lord Heaven is yours; I will not take it from you. " Hao Tianzun said kindly, "To hold Xuandu you will need this mighty body to overawe petty villains. However, I need a share of Lord Heaven's Way of Heaven.
" The Ancestor God King said, "All of it is yours, Brother Dao; even my life is yours. Take whatever you wish.
" He had once been hot-tempered; now he showed only composure, and it made men click their tongues in wonder.
Hao Tianzun nodded slightly; his gaze fell on Fire Tianzun again, and he said warmly, "Brother Fire, you saved the Ancestor God King — a deed of the greatest merit, and by rights you should be rewarded according to your deserts. But the spoils of Xuandu are only so much, and cannot be shared with you. Do not take offense, brother. " Fire Tianzun bowed.
"How would I dare harbor such hopes?
" He glanced at the many Way of Heaven soldiers beside Hong Tianzun's smashed corpse and said, "Brother Hao, could these Way of Heaven soldiers perhaps.
. .
" Hao Tianzun shook his head and said with regret, "They cannot be given to you. Gong Tianzun's merit is greater; to root out Lord Heaven she fought desperately against the rebels You, Shen, Moon, and the rest.
These Way of Heaven soldiers are a gift to Gong Tianzun.
If you think your merit greater than hers, then they may be shared with you. " Fire Tianzun hastily shook his head. "I would not dare contend for merit with Gong Tianzun. Then where are the rebels Shen Ye, You, Moon, Langwo, and the rest?
" Just then Yan Tianfei's voice came.
"You was gravely wounded and was drawn away by Lord Earth, returning to Youdu. Shen Ye, Moon, and Langwo, seeing Lord Heaven dead, lost their will to fight and withdrew.
Even if they came at us, they would not be our match. " She stepped in, flanked left and right by the Taiji Ancient God; behind the Taiji Ancient God came Qiang Tianfei, whipped bloody by Gong Tianzun, Langxuan the Divine Emperor, whose forehead Hao Tianzun had pierced, and Shi Qiluo, whom Hao Tianzun had cut in two with a single wheel. Every one of them was wounded; even the Taiji Ancient God bore sword wound after sword wound, and Yan Tianfei's injuries were grave as well. The group split into two sides, facing each other as equals.
