Chapter 1749 — The Will of Heaven and the Heart of All Beings
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 5
"I saw long ago that these postnatal living beings would throw the universe into chaos. I realized that in the future, the rule of the gods would be dismantled by them, destroyed by them! If we let them grow, we will become their slaves, the objects of their enslavement!"
The Ancestral God King's fury reached the heavens, and the moves and divine abilities of Heaven Duke's physical body grew ever more vicious: "As Heaven Duke, you should chastise all living beings! When they defy heaven, send down tribulation and destroy them! When they do not make offerings to the gods, use natural disasters to teach them awe! When they open river courses, then send great floods to swallow their cities; when they mine ore veins, then send earthquakes to destroy them! You could make them docile. Send down heavenly fire, blot out the sun and moon, send down floods, unleash great droughts. And yet you did nothing at all!"
"I told you to destroy them, and yet you dragged in something about the fairness of the heavenly dao! From that time on, I knew you could not be relied upon. You are old, and you cannot see the stakes in this!"
Heaven Duke raised both hands, holding up the fist his own physical body smashed down, his face covered in blood, and laughed: "My son, heaven's course has its constancy; it does not endure for Mu, nor does it perish for Xiao. You have never been able to comprehend this saying!"
Boom!
Another fist from Heaven Duke's physical body came crashing over, smashing into him and blasting him out of the Yuan Realm.
The Ancestral God King lifted his head and looked beyond the heavens. A palm stretched out from Heaven Duke's physical body and lifted him up; the Ancestral God King rose slowly, higher and higher, until at last he saw Heaven Duke.
This place was Xuandu, where Heaven Duke's physical body resided.
Heaven Duke's physical body had not truly descended upon the Yuan Realm, because this body was too colossal; compared to this body, the Yuan Realm was still too small, and it could not fully descend.
The Ancestral God King could only control the upper half of Heaven Duke's physical body, reaching in from beyond the heavens into the sky of the Yuan Realm, to do battle with Heaven Duke. And now, they had returned to Xuandu once more.
Heaven Duke floated within Xuandu, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, panted hoarsely, and laughed: "My son, I did not understand this either in the past, until later, when I finally understood."
He stretched out his palm, as if stroking the stars of the universe, his breast surging, and said: "Look. From our Xuandu, one can see all things in the heavens and all worlds, the myriad states of living beings, all vividly before the eyes. The partings and reunions, loves and hates, passions and enmities of the human world are all gathered into the eye. What is this human world?"
The Ancestral God King shook the Heavenly Net Dao Weapon; the other forty-nine heavenly dao supreme treasures flew over and combined into a long spear. Killing intent surging, he walked toward him, sneering: "What strange, absurd talk does Father God have now?"
Heaven Duke stood within Xuandu, looking down upon the heavens and all worlds, his heart filled with joy, and laughed: "This human world, it is the Heaven Sea!"
The Ancestral God King was slightly taken aback, then laughed loudly: "Father God, your mind has indeed been polluted by mortals and the mortal world, and you have begun to spout nonsense! The Heaven Sea is a holy land of the Ancestral Court, and has never been the human world! When the universe was opened in those years, the Heaven Sea was born; the Heavenly River rises from the Heaven Sea, and Xuandu was born! You have grown muddled to this degree!"
