Chapter 1625 — Pure Goodness and Evil Thoughts
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 5
If the Earth Lord were dead, then no one would be able to help him suppress the demonic nature of the Book of Life and Death. What a horror would the You Heavenly Venerable be, once controlled by that demonic nature?
"Then why not destroy the Book of Life and Death?" said the Ling Heavenly Venerable. "Simply destroy this evil treasure outright."
"It cannot be destroyed."
The You Heavenly Venerable shook his head. "The Book of Life and Death is a treasure formed from the conglomeration of the sixty-four Youdu Great Daos. Only if you could destroy these sixty-four great Daos of heaven and earth would it be possible to destroy it."
The Ling Heavenly Venerable fell silent as well; she too could not destroy the sixty-four Youdu Great Daos.
"After you kill the Earth Lord, it is possible that I will be controlled by the Book of Life and Death."
The You Heavenly Venerable said, "If that comes to pass, then let me die in battle alongside the Heavenly Venerables of the Heavenly Court."
Shen Mu's brows knit deeply. Then he suddenly rose to his feet and said with a laugh, "Wait here for me a moment. I will be back shortly."
He vanished in a flash, then suddenly turned back and said with a laugh, "Lend me your paper boat!"
Without waiting for the You Heavenly Venerable to answer, he leaped straight onto the paper boat and departed with a whistling rush.
The Ling Heavenly Venerable looked at the Book of Life and Death upon the table. "Will I be controlled by the demonic nature?"
The You Heavenly Venerable shook his head. "You do not understand the Youdu Great Dao; you cannot stir the might of this Book of Life and Death. Only in the hands of one versed in the Youdu Great Dao can the Book of Life and Death display its power."
The Ling Heavenly Venerable said no more, and waited quietly.
A long while later, the You Heavenly Venerable said, "Ling, it is very comfortable, talking with you."
The Ling Heavenly Venerable said, "Talking with you is very effortless."
Not long after, the paper boat came flying back with a whistle, and upon the little paper boat stood a monstrous, gigantic big-headed infant, striving with all his might to squeeze his two feet onto the boat.
Shen Mu halted the boat, and the big-headed baby leaped down, setting the Tianqi Rensheng Prince Manor shaking without cease.
"Brother, gently!" Shen Mu said with a stern face.
Shen Fengqing looked around curiously, then giggled. "Big Earth Lord's head is really big—should be enough to eat for a long while."
Shen Mu led him into the prince's manor. Shen Fengqing's frame was so vast that all along the way he squeezed houses to the ground and walls to ruin, leaving wreckage in his wake.
Shen Mu pointed at the Book of Life and Death on the stone table and said with a smile, "Brother, look at this golden page..."
Shen Fengqing reached out and pinched it up. Shen Mu and the You Heavenly Venerable were instantly thrown into alarm, staring hard at him: the moment he was controlled by the Book of Life and Death's demonic nature, the two of them would strike at once to suppress him!
Shen Fengqing was the incarnation of Youdu's demonic nature, evil beyond measure. If the Book of Life and Death were to rouse his demonic nature once more, and the two merged, he would likely become even more terrifying than Shen Mu had been under the Book of Life and Death's control!
Shen Fengqing shook the Book of Life and Death and said suspiciously, "Is this the paper the Earth Lord wipes his ass with? And you treat it like a treasure..."
He tossed the Book of Life and Death carelessly aside, and Shen Mu and the You Heavenly Venerable were struck dumb.
The You Heavenly Venerable hurriedly picked up the Book of Life and Death, stuffed it into his hand, and said in a low voice, "Little Earth Lord, use the Youdu Great Dao to stir this page!"
Shen Fengqing glanced at him and giggled. "You're an underworld messenger? Strange, you've gotten younger..."
