1388 Chapter 1384, impermanence of Heaven’s will (third update)
“Crusade against Heavenly Duke?”
Qin Mu was astonished. Heavenly Duke was going to die?
According to Heavenly Duke’s own estimation, if he wanted to completely analyze his heavenly dao, he would need at least a hundred years, but only twenty something years had passed!
Why did ten heavenly venerates want to get rid of Heavenly Duke so quickly?
‘there must be heavenly duke adding fuel to the fire!’
Qin Mu’s gaze flickered. Heavenly Duke and Earth Count had gone to the Hundred Thousand Black Mountain to pay a visit to Tai Yi not long ago, and now tenth heavenly venerate had moved the matter of the crusade against Heavenly Duke to the meeting of the Heaven Alliance. There must definitely be heavenly venerate Hong pushing it silently.
Because heavenly venerate Hong was the heavenly duke, if Heavenly Duke asked Tai Yi, would he be able to get rid of the fetters of Heavenly Dao? Tai Yi told Heavenly Duke that he would succeed.
It seemed that this sentence had given the heavenly duke confidence, so he took the initiative to bring forward the date of his death!
As for the other heavenly venerates, because they had forced the forces of carefree village and the creator into the other shore void, the two sides confronted each other on the Void Bridge. The Void Bridge was a dangerous place that was easy to defend but hard to attack, so the heavenly court could not attack the other shore void for a moment, but similarly, the other shore void could not take back the void bridge, so the two sides were in a stalemate.
Carefree village and the creator’s influence could no longer threaten the Heaven Court, so ten heavenly venerates could free up their hands to deal with the Heavenly Duke wholeheartedly!
‘As for making me take the blame, it’s to give me a chance to board ten heavenly venerates’pirate ship.’
A smile hung on Qin Mu’s face, ‘Ten heavenly venerates need to get rid of the Heavenly Duke, Earth count, ancient god three emperors, all ancient gods, and even the nominal ancient god Heavenly Emperor. They all need someone to take the blame. ‘this scapegoat must have enough weight, and they won’t be the ones to shoulder it. As the founder of Heaven Alliance, my abilities aren’t high and my influence isn’t strong, so I’m the perfect scapegoat.’
Only when Qin Mu announced his crusade against Heavenly Duke at the meeting of Heaven Alliance would he be able to board their pirate ship and become the person to share the benefits of the ancestral court and the backside of the ancestral court.
Furthermore, these orders were given by Qin Mu, so he had something to use against tenth heavenly venerate.
If Qin Mu was disobedient in the future, any title of killing Heavenly Duke and Earth count would be enough to make Qin Mu and his forces die without a burial ground.
With that, Qin Mu could be considered to have joined tenth heavenly venerate’s camp and become one of them.
Tenth heavenly venerate couldn’t subdue founding emperor Qin and force him to join them, but he could use threats and rewards to force him to join them.
If they wanted to share the benefits, they could, but the prerequisite was that they had to become people like them!
“Then...”
Qin Mu smiled. “Divine emperor, what about the other important matters in the meeting of the Heaven Alliance?”
When Divine Emperor Lang Xuan saw that Qin Mu was still calm and composed, he couldn’t help admiring his shrewdness. “The third matter is Crown Prince Ming ya betraying the Heaven Court and defecting to Xie Wuqi to cause trouble in Youdu, so he has to depose the Crown Prince and re-establish the crown prince.”
Qin Mu raised his eyebrows and asked, “Re-establish the crown prince? Then this new crown prince is heavenly venerate vast?”
God Emperor Lang Xuan sighed with emotion. “Even though heavenly venerate vast has never had any status, he has been working diligently for the heavenly court all these years and is also the son of the Heavenly Emperor. It’s only natural for him to be the crown prince this time.”
Qin Mu smiled. “However, as an illegitimate son, I feel that it’s not worth it for the god Emperor.”
Divine Emperor Lang Xuan smiled. “Heavenly venerate Mu, you know many secrets, but you also know that there are many people in history who died for no reason because they knew many secrets that they shouldn’t know.”
Qin Mu laughed loudly and said solemnly, “Don’t worry, divine emperor. Heavenly venerate vast and I are mortal enemies. Perhaps you and I can join hands and do something together.”
Divine Emperor Lang Xuan smiled indifferently and got up. “I Won’t Disturb Alliance Master’s Rest anymore. I’ll take my leave. Alliance master’s leg isn’t convenient, so there’s no need to send him off.”After saying that, he turned around and walked out.
Qin Mu pondered for a moment and stood up with a solemn expression.
‘even though Tai Yi said he would succeed, heavenly duke is too impatient. ’I hope he can delay for another hundred years so eternal peace has enough time to grow, but he wants to jump out of the shackles of Heavenly Dao and break away from the body of an ancient god.’
He couldn’t help frowning. Heavenly Duke was a little unreasonable, and he didn’t even discuss such an important matter with him!
As an ally, he didn’t take the initiative to exchange information with Qin Mu, but in the end, it was actually divine emperor Lang Xuan who told him about this matter.
‘Heavenly Duke is too anxious, too urgent. He didn’t consider me, and neither did he consider eternal peace. ‘Divine Emperor Lang Xuan once teased me that I’m already old and have thirty years left to live. “Hehe, looks like he wasn’t shooting off a blank arrow!”
If ten heavenly venerates got rid of the Heavenly Duke, Earth count, ancient god, crippled the heavenly emperor, and flattened carefree village, then Qin Mu would be next.
And to do all these things well, it would take thirty years.
Divine Emperor Lang Xuan’s words that he only had thirty years left to live were indeed pointing to something.
“Heavenly Duke is unreliable! No, it’s Celestial Master Hong who is unreliable! Over the years, the Heavenly Duke has walked the world as Celestial Master Hong. He has been assimilated by the ten celestial masters and has become a ruler like the ten celestial masters! Even if he gets rid of the shackles of the ancient gods, he will become one of the ten celestial masters and be greedy for power!”
He suddenly felt a chill run down his spine. The Heavenly Duke’s goal was to get rid of the shackles of the ancient gods, but at the same time, he had to firmly grasp the power and make himself a ruler like the other celestial masters. Even if the dynasty changed.., he would not be replaced as a ruler!
“Now that the Heavenly Duke is still alive, he will not be reduced to such an existence. Right now, he is still the ancient god Dao Sheng, standing at the height of the Heavenly Dao to see the disputes in the human world. His avatar entering the human world is entering the disputes in the human world. For such a long time, heavenly venerate Hong has been polluted by the disturbance of the mortal world. Heavenly venerate Hong can no longer see the disputes in the human world from the Heavenly Duke’s perspective.”
An incomparably strong vigilance rose in his heart. If heavenly Duke’s true body died and broke free from the shackles of Heavenly Dao, he would become heavenly venerate Hong. Then heavenly venerate Hong would become one of the ten heavenly venerates and become a person of authority, he wouldn’t become his ally!
At that time, Heavenly Duke had completely entered the human world and was obsessed with power. He might not be Qin Mu’s friend, but he might even be an incomparably terrifying enemy!
‘No, I must go see the Heavenly Duke and state the pros and cons! The Heavenly Duke now still has the heart of Heavenly Dao, so he should be persuaded by me and know the pros and cons! Heavenly Duke Hong has his own selfish motives, but Heavenly Duke doesn’t!’
He made a prompt decision and immediately walked out of heavenly Duke’s manor. ‘they aren’t the same person anymore, just like Southern Emperor and Bai Yuqiong, just like Heavenly Duke Yu and Lan Yutian!’
There was still one day before the meeting of the Heaven Alliance. He could totally go to Xuandu through the spiritual energy mutual transfer bridge and meet the heavenly duke so that he could change his mind!
Just as he walked out of the heavenly venerate mansion, he saw an old man with white eyebrows and beard walking toward him with his sleeves fluttering in the wind. This old man was full of glory and smiled at everyone. It was heavenly venerate Hong!
“Heavenly venerate mu!”
Heavenly venerate Hong greeted him, “Congratulations, heavenly venerate Mu.”. Back when heavenly venerate had founded the Heaven Alliance, Yun, Qin, Yue, and Ling had left for their own reasons and never returned. Heavenly venerate mu had also left for a million years, and he had finally returned today, returning the Heaven Alliance back to its orthodoxy. “Congratulations!”
Qin Mu returned the greeting and sighed with emotion. “Dao brother, you must be joking. I was only pushed out to keep up appearances in this Heaven Alliance meeting, and I might even die from it in the future.”
Celestial Master Hong said solemnly, “That’s not true. Celestial Master Mu, this way please. All the Celestial Masters are already waiting in the hall of the Heaven Alliance.”
Qin Mu was puzzled. “Isn’t the meeting of the Heaven Alliance Tomorrow?”
“Tomorrow is to gather all the members of the Heaven Alliance and announce our decision today. The one who truly decides the fate of the world isn’t everyone in the Heaven Alliance. In fact, it’s just a small circle like ours.”
Heavenly venerate Hong smiled. “We make the decision, and they just follow it.”
Qin Mu was helpless and could only follow him to the Jade Lake. Heavenly venerate Hong’s sleeves fluttered, and he was free and easy to speak of. He wasn’t tainted by a single speck of dust.
Qin Mu was on par with him. After a moment of silence, he said, “Heaven’s way is constant, not for MU to survive, not for Xiao to die.”
Heavenly venerate Hong turned his head to look at him and smiled. “This is a sentence that I’ve reminded heavenly venerate mu of. Why did heavenly venerate mu mention it again today?”
“I understand the previous sentence.”
Qin Mu and him moved extremely fast and soon came to the jade platform. Looking over, they saw the jade lake that was like an ocean. It was boundless, and huge lotus flowers floated on the surface of the sea like a flower-shaped island, the rulers of thousands of worlds roamed the sea, looking for friends to visit. They formed groups of three to five, laughing and laughing. There was an indescribable freedom.
“What this sentence says is that the Heavenly Dao has its own rules. It Won’t change because of Celestial Venerable Mu’s wisdom, nor will it change because of celestial venerable Xiao’s cruelty.”
Qin Mu changed the topic, “However, when Dao brother reminded me, there was still the last sentence. ‘If it should be treated as good, if it should be chaotic, it should be fierce.’. I didn’t really understand the rest of the sentence. “It’s rare for me to travel together with Dao brother today, so I would like to ask for the meaning of this sentence.”
The two of them walked on the surface of the sea, and wherever they passed, the Jade Sea was instantly in an uproar. Heavenly venerate Hong could be said to be the one with the most connections among the ten heavenly venerates. All the rulers of the heavens came forward to greet him as a disciple.
Yet heavenly venerate Hong actually recognized everyone, knew their names, knew their families, and even recognized their disciples. This made everyone flattered like a spring breeze.
Even Qin Mu couldn’t help admiring such methods!
Among the ten heavenly venerates, probably only heavenly venerate Hong knew everyone like the back of his hand. He could even make the other feel flattered, like he was someone who was highly valued by heavenly venerate Hong!
Heavenly venerate Hong took a glance at Qin Mu and said with a smile, “Why wouldn’t heavenly venerate mu understand this sentence? There’s no need to belittle yourself, heavenly venerate mu. Why Don’t you tell me your opinion? I think it’s right.”
Another ruler of the heavens brought his juniors to pay their respects. Heavenly venerate Hong was still as nimble as ever, making them feel grateful and overjoyed.
“If it’s right, then it’s good. If It’s wrong, then it’s bad. I think this sentence means to follow the heavenly duke to rule the world, then it’s good, and the Heavenly Duke will protect you.”
Qin Mu narrowed his eyes and said indifferently, “If it’s not right, then it’s bad. If It’s wrong, then it’s bad. The Heavenly Duke will kill people.”
Celestial Master Hong looked at him again, “I’ve misunderstood what you said,”he said with a smile. “Obeying the Heavenly Dao to rule the world and going against the Heavenly Dao is a great calamity. “Even though our explanations seem to be similar, it’s a mistake for you to understand the Heavenly Dao as heavenly duke. “Heavenly Duke is only a God born from the Heavenly Dao.”
Qin Mu stopped and stood on the surface of the sea, he smiled. “Maybe Heavenly Duke understands it this way. According to Dao Brother’s understanding, this sentence is to walk with the heavens, to defy the heavens is to die. According to my understanding, it’s a threat and not that indifferent.”
Celestial Master Hong took two steps forward and also stopped. With his back facing him, he smiled. “Celestial Master Mu, why did you suddenly say such words? Haven’t we always gotten along well?”
He turned around, and the smile on his face was like a spring breeze.
However, Qin Mu suddenly shivered.
On the Jade Lake, the sea breeze whistled, and it was gloomy and cold. It blew at the sleeves of their clothes.
