Chapter 799 — Immeasurable Cataclysm
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 4 of 4
In the Shanghuang era the Earth Mother was half ruler of the Primordial World; in name the successive Shanghuang emperors of the Northern Heaven Court ruled, but in truth it was she who held half the realm of the Primordial World! In those years, under her rule, no race dared resist!
Of course, the Southern Shanghuang Heaven Court was an exception; the Southern Shanghuang Heaven Court could even split the Primordial World in two, rule the south, and stand as the Earth Mother's equal.
As for the reason, that was not for outsiders to know. There were not a few who did not kneel to the Earth Mother Venerable God: Shen Mu, Gongsun Yan, Feng Qiuyun and the Dragon Qilin all stood straight as spears; only the Water Qilin bowed low, shivering, not daring to raise its head.
The Crimson Emperor Qi Xiayu's face changed drastically as well; yet she set her ancient zither upright, one hand gripping it, heroic and splendid, standing as the Earth Mother Venerable God's equal.
The Divine Blade Luo Wushuang led the youths of the Lingxiu Army swiftly to her back, auras blooming, the divine blade ringing in its sheath. They all belonged to the Outer Heaven Court; though they were of different heaven palaces and did not meddle with one another, and had their petty squabbles in ordinary times, at this moment, facing an ancient god like the Earth Mother Venerable God, they must join hands.
Bai Qu'er did not kneel either; as the Shanghuang Sword God, she was of a remnant clan of the Southern Shanghuang Heaven Court, and would not kneel to the Earth Mother at all. The Scholar did not kneel either.
In the Kaihuang era there was no Earth Mother Venerable God; and besides, she did not bow even to the Shanghuang, much less to the Earth Mother Venerable God. Beneath the towering Origin Wood that pierced the heavens, the Earth Mother Venerable God looked down on them all as on ants.
The aura of that ancient god, born of heaven and reared by earth, was so majestic, so dreadful, that none could summon the least thought of resistance! The Earth Mother looked at them and did not speak at all, but the quieter she was, the more the gods present trembled with fear.
"This is interesting. " A laugh suddenly broke the stillness.
The Scholar, waving a feather fan, said with a smile: "A while ago there was a quarrel over the true and false disciples of the Earth Mother, and it turned heaven and earth upside down. Lü Zheng, should there not now be a quarrel over a true and false Earth Mother?
" The donkey was so pleased that its lips curled up, and laughed: "Hee-haw, hee-haw! " The bray was rather grating to the ear. Just then a voice suddenly came: "Why should there not be a quarrel over a true and false Earth Mother?
