The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 2 of 3
He never blamed me! Because he knew what I did was right, that what I did was the righteous path! Do you think the Chiming era could defy heaven and stand against the ancient gods? Impossible!
In the Chiming era, a dozen or so human Imperial Thrones thought they could overturn the heavens? Let me tell you the truth: the power of the human race could not compare to a single leg hair of the Heavenly Court! So I had no choice but to march out myself and encircle Emperor Ming! That is right—it was I who saw Emperor Ming's flaw and had Yin Tianzi strike him down! Because I could not let Emperor Ming destroy the entire human race, destroy the grand situation I had worked so hard to build! " His hands clenched into fists, he stared fixedly at the backs of Shen Mu and the others ahead. His voice seemed scorched hoarse by the Dao fire burning within him.
"Was the Shanghuang era so remarkable? It was! But the Ten Celestial Venerables' ascendancy was already established. Even the ancient gods could not contend with the demigods and could only fall silent one by one! The demigods were a power greater than the ancient gods!
Yet Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yue dreamed of overturning the heavens, dreamed of overthrowing the demigods!
A pipe dream!
The demigods' power had grown so great that they could easily annihilate the human race!
I could not let those two women, Celestial Venerable Ling and Celestial Venerable Yue, doom the human race, so I took it upon myself to scheme and gravely wound Celestial Venerable Yue!
Celestial Venerable Ling's death was also connected to me, and the Shanghuang Heavenly Court was destroyed by the army I led—but all of it was worth it! " Shen Mu and the others walked to the source of the Heavenly River and came to the surface of the Heavenly Sea.
When God King Langwan's foot touched down, the Heavenly Sea raised no waves; only ripples spread gently in all directions.
Lan Yutian walked upon the sea, and the sea showed not the slightest ripple. When Shen Mu landed on the Heavenly Sea, wind and waves began to stir, but gradually they subsided. He gazed at the sea's surface, which mirrored Xuandu. The stars, constellations, and celestial mansions of the cosmos, the grandeur of countless galaxies—all were taken in at a glance.
Boom! Celestial Venerable Huo's body landed on the Heavenly Sea, half-crouched, half-kneeling on its surface.
His palm pressed against the sea, and waves surged abruptly. Wild winds and great waves howled and swelled, thunder clashed across the sky, and bolts of lightning like swords split down from the black mass of clouds—crack, crack—weaving through the towering waves.
A massive flame wheel hummed and spun within the tsunami. Bolts of thunder passed through the flame wheel and were ignited by the Dao fire, transforming into thunder-fire of terrifying power!
Celestial Venerable Huo rose slowly to his feet, and the flame wheel behind his head climbed higher and higher amid the waves that came one after another. His face loomed vast as he looked down from on high at Shen Mu and the other two walking onward across the sea, paying him no heed. Even the thunder and the crashing waves could not drown out his voice.
"The Kaihuang era was a puppet propped up by the ancient gods! Kaihuang was a puppet of the Heavenly Duke, Tubo, and the four ancient god emperors!
Shen Ye—a vainglorious fame-seeker! Let him live, and he will only drag the human race back to the Longhan era! " Celestial Venerable Huo strode forward and came up behind Shen Mu and the others.
Flames surged to the heavens, burning the sky as though it were a scroll, scorching it black and burning holes through it.
