The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 3 of 5
" Shen Mu said, "On this expedition into Taixu, your servant discovered the whereabouts of the Creator race and of the Worry-Free Land. " The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's expression stirred slightly, and the halo behind his head swayed faintly as well; at once many of the goddesses tending that halo could not keep pace, and were left in a fluster.
At the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's lips, the goddess tending his lips also hurriedly flew away, lest the breath of the Emperor's respiration blow her off or draw her into his belly. Shen Mu observed the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's expression; by his face alone it was very hard to tell which Heavenly Lord dwelt within this body.
"Heavenly Lord Mu, tell it in detail," said the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor.
Shen Mu inclined slightly and said, "When your servant entered Taixu, he found the divine consciousness there in chaos, which is bound up with the Creator race of prehistory.
He also found traces of Tai Di, the leader of the Creator race. Your servant found that Tai Di's physical body is trapped in the land of Taixu. Your Majesty should be no stranger to Tai Di? " He watched the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's expression.
But the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's face did not change, and he truly could discern no shift in the mood of the Heavenly Lord controlling this body.
"Tai Di is a rebel. Indeed, he cannot be left unwatched.
" The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor said, "Heavenly Lord, continue.
" Shen Mu drew his gaze inward and said, "Your servant found that Tai Di's physical body is congealed within a supreme field of divine consciousness.
The man's body is immensely powerful, his divine consciousness vast. Perhaps this beast's body might be seized and brought to the Heavenly Court, there to be beheaded and his head displayed, to proclaim the Heavenly might. " The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor neither confirmed nor denied it.
Just then, Shen Mu sensed a fluctuation in the Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's aura; another force had entered the Emperor's body!
Those goddesses seemed unaware, but his divine consciousness was incomparably keen, and he could clearly sense this fluctuation of aura.
"Right now, within the Heavenly Emperor's body, there are two Heavenly Lords!
" Shen Mu's brows lifted, yet his face did not change, and he continued: "Your servant has made another discovery.
Tai Di is not dead. What was trapped and slain in Taixu was only Tai Di's physical body; Tai Di's primal spirit has already escaped and left the land of Taixu. And his divine consciousness is unimaginably strong; a portion of it has likewise left Taixu, lurking in the Heavenly Court or in the myriad worlds of the heavens. " The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor showed a kindly smile and said, "Heavenly Lord Mu's discovery is indeed shocking to the world. A rebel of Tai Di's stamp ought to be dragged out and beheaded, to set the Heavenly might aright.
Does Heavenly Lord Mu think Tai Di is now hidden in the myriad worlds of the heavens, or hidden in the Heavenly Court? " Shen Mu said solemnly, "Your servant dares not assert. " At this moment, another fluctuation of aura, faint and elusive, entered the Heavenly Emperor's body.
The third Heavenly Lord had arrived!
"Tai Di still lives.
This matter is indeed of grave importance, and cannot go unguarded against.
Heh heh, how laughable; there are always some rebellious ministers and traitors coveting Our realm! " The Ancient God Heavenly Emperor's tone was now different again from before; plainly it was the third Heavenly Lord speaking: "Now that the myriad worlds have just found peace, trouble stirs once more.
