Chapter 1113 — The Emperor Meditates Upon the Dao
The Herdsman of the Wasteland · Page 1 of 3
Sixty thousand years ago in the Xiaohan Heavenly Court, Yun Tianzun subdued the Heavenly River and made it flow upon the earth. Time hurried past, and the waves washed away all heroes.
Another hundred thousand years passed in the Longhan Era. The Longhan Heavenly Court absorbed the Longxiao Heavenly Court, and only the Xiaohan Heavenly Court remained in the Primordial World.
Though Yun Tianzun was exceptionally wise and led the human race in their maneuvering against the demigod races, the tide of destiny was overwhelming, and he gradually came to feel a sense of helplessness. The Heavenly Alliance slowly splintered into different factions.
Then one day, the conflict between the Longhan Heavenly Court and the Xiaohan Heavenly Court finally erupted.
The Heavenly Court's great army marched against the Primordial World.
The Great Sun Star Lord led the orthodox deities of the celestial stars and the armies of the Heavenly Spirits and Earthly Fiends as the vanguard. The Ten Guards of the Heavenly Court were deployed, and all Four Great Heavenly Gates and Four Great Heavenly Masters set out as well. The Heavenly Emperor ordered the various Tianzuns to each command their forces and campaign against Xiaohan.
The Great Sun Star Lord fell before achieving any victory, slain by a stray arrow on the battlefield. Another ancient god perished, his wronged spirit drifting faintly into Youdu.
Venerable Hao's army had scarcely marched out of the Southern Heavenly Gate when Hao Tianzun put away his divine bow and set down his arrows, saying indifferently: "You know too much. " In the Xiaohan Heavenly Court, Yun Tianzun prepared two jade boxes and handed them to the Dao Ancestor, smiling: "Old Daoist, take these two jade boxes and go.
If in the future you encounter Shen Tianzun and Mu Tianzun, give one to Shen Tianzun and one to Mu Tianzun. " The Dao Ancestor put away the jade boxes and asked: "Your Majesty, and you? " Yun Tianzun smiled, gazing at the approaching Heavenly Court army, and said with a laugh: "I will stay.
This Longhan Revolution was not thorough.
We thought we had overthrown the ancient gods, never realizing that after seizing power, we merely installed another batch of ancient gods. Revolution and reform require bloodshed, and it begins with Yun. " The Dao Ancestor bowed and took his leave. Yun Tianzun emptied his mind and gazed at the approaching Heavenly Court army.
The rumbling of war drums came, shaking heaven and earth.
Watching the Heavenly Court army surge forward in a deluge, he silently reflected on his life. He had accomplished many things, but many more remained unfinished. His heart still held many regrets. He remembered face after face, and event after event that had set his blood ablaze.
"My abilities were not enough, not sufficient to accomplish all of this. If back then I had thrown in my lot with you, moved the Xiaohan Heavenly Court to the Longhan Heavenly Court, and seized power, perhaps I could have survived.
But. . .
" He laughed heartily: "How could I throw in my lot with you? If I did, all living beings would remain straw dogs, still offerings upon the altar. What difference would there be between me and the ancient gods?
Future fellow cultivator, what I could not accomplish, I leave to you—" The battle at the Xiaohan Heavenly Court was unprecedentedly brutal, beyond the power of brush and ink to describe.
In the Primordial World, the civilization built by the human race was all but scoured clean, leaving behind only stretch after stretch of shattered ruins. During the war, Yun Tianzun was surrounded and attacked.
