The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 5
" The old farmer looked at him and said in a heavy voice: "Of the lands and people Jingping can command, not one in ten will remain. The demigods too will move against Jingping. Set no more of your mind on Jingping. Think of the people of the ruins. I will inform the King of Hell and have the stone statues revive, and ask them to bring the people of the ruins here; with this place as the center, build a nation. You are of the Kaihuang blood; you shall be the emperor of this new nation.
Jingping is beyond saving.
" Shen Mu steadied himself.
The Heavenly Master of Martial Combat indeed saw far, and saw true. Now that the primordial world is unsealed, Jingping will face its greatest crisis, greater even than the snow disaster crisis.
The reforms of Jingping will be cut short, will even be rolled back, until the land is carved up among rival states and a forest of sects! By now Emperor Yanfeng, the Imperial Teacher of Jingping, and even the Woodcutter Sage must be frantic, at their wits' end.
"Martial uncle, I have not the boldness of Emperor Yanfeng, nor the drive and the power of execution of the Imperial Teacher of Jingping. Were I to be emperor of the ruins, I would be bound up in trifles, my head in a whirl, unable to think through any reform.
Compared with Emperor Yanfeng, I could not do better. " Shen Mu said with a smile: "Men with the boldness of Emperor Yanfeng are few; men with the power of execution of the Imperial Teacher of Jingping are few as well. I even think that Emperor Yanfeng and the Imperial Teacher of Jingping have done better than Kaihuang and the Woodcutter Sage.
And this time is a trial for Emperor Yanfeng as well, to see whether Jingping can hold out. So long as she holds out, anything is possible. " The old farmer glared at him and sneered: "What does Jingping have to contend with the demigods? What does she have to contend with those heavens? Jingping will collapse and crumble within a few months!
" Shen Mu smiled: "There will always be a way to solve it. Martial uncle, this time the primordial world suddenly crumbled, and when the demigods heard the call of the Earth Mother, the Primal Sovereign, they went to pay their respects.
What do you make of that? " The old farmer said coldly: "What do I make of it?
I lie on my belly and watch, I lie on my back and watch! I watch you all go to your deaths one by one!
" Shen Mu chuckled: "Martial uncle, you are in a temper again, and I am speaking of serious matters.
" The old farmer glared at him viciously and said nothing.
The smile never left Shen Mu's face: "I have thought of a way to settle once and for all the problem that the people of the Douniu Realm have neither divine bridge nor divine treasury. I mean, once I have cultivated to the realm of life and death and opened the divine treasury of life and death, to destroy my divine bridge and divine treasury in one stroke and open them anew. When I have mastered the way of opening the divine bridge and the divine treasury, then not only the Douniu Realm, but every soul in the ruins and in Jingping whose divine bridge is severed, may hope to open the divine bridge and divine treasury again and cultivate into godhood! Martial uncle, I beg you, lend me your strength and come with me to Jingping, to help Emperor Yanfeng and the Imperial Teacher of Jingping through this trial! " The old farmer's eyes were fierce; he sneered: "You know that those people of the Douniu Realm are the descendants of the soldiers who died in battle for my Douniu Palace, and so you use this condition to tempt me. But what if you cannot open the divine bridge and the divine treasury? " Shen Mu smiled faintly: "I have the Overlord Body, one in ten thousand ages. " The old farmer wheezed, his breath rough and hoarse.
