Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1394: Influence

What made the Celestial Venerables of the assembly heave a sigh of relief was that Qin Mu didn't create any more trouble. Instead, he read the letter of challenge that Ancestral God King had drafted.

Qin Mu was also afraid that Celestial Venerable Hao and the rest wouldn't be able to hold back the fury in their hearts if he created another ruckus in the Heaven Alliance. They would kill him on the spot!

The ten Celestial Venerables were all smart people, and they could all see that Founding Emperor Qin Ye and Celestial Venerable Yue had come together under Qin Mu's orders. Otherwise, even if the Heaven Alliance Meeting had alarmed the thousands of worlds in the heavens, it wouldn't have reached Carefree Village in the Paramita Void and alarmed Founding Emperor Qin Ye.

Furthermore, Founding Emperor and Celestial Venerable Yue had come too coincidentally, and they had worked closely with Qin Mu's words to reduce the ten Celestial Venerables' prestige and win the hearts of the Heaven Alliance. Every move and every move was pointed out by the sword.

It was obvious that only the 'spies' of the Heaven Alliance could grasp the internal situation of the ten Celestial Venerables of the Heaven Alliance so clearly.

And this "traitor" of the Heaven Alliance could only be the alliance master of the Heaven Alliance.

It was fine if Qin Mu knew when to stop, but if he didn't, the ten Celestial Venerables could only help him. Of course, his life would be reaped.

Defeating Heaven Duke was naturally a huge matter, and it caused an uproar.

However, this matter was already decided by the ten Celestial Venerables. Even if there were any objections, the other members of the Heaven Alliance, including Dao Ancestor and Brahma, had no say. They could only listen.

Once the ten Celestial Venerables gave the order, they could only do it. If they were disloyal, the consequences could be imagined.

Qin Mu then announced the second matter, which was to add a new Celestial Venerable.

The Patriarch Creation Palace's Shi Qiluo was a man of virtue and prestige. His cultivation was profound and his achievements were complete. He entered the Heaven Alliance and became the eleventh Celestial Venerable.

The moment he said that, there was another uproar. When Shi Qiluo's burly man went on stage and came to the second heaven to pay his respects to Qin Mu, Celestial Venerable Hao, and the other 'seniors', he attracted even more criticism.

The Patriarch Creation Heavenly Palace's Palace Master Shi Qiluo, many people in the celestial heavens knew of his reputation. He was a bandit who liked to curry favor and criticize others. The strength of this fellow's cultivation was unknown, but he kowtowed like garlic to the people above. He was fierce to the people below and liked to embezzle and ask for bribes. His reputation was terrible.

If it wasn't for the fact that he indeed had some abilities, no one else would be able to completely research the creation divine weapon, yet he could control it, no one would have a good impression of him.

The ten Celestial Venerables had always been the ten Celestial Venerables, and there had never been a new Celestial Venerable. Even if there was, in everyone's eyes, they should have been Dao Ancestor and Brahma. They wouldn't have been chosen by a vulgar brute like Shi Qiluo.

However, Shi Qiluo had received the recognition of the ten Celestial Venerables and became the eleventh Celestial Venerable. One couldn't help but sigh. "The path of flattery. Shi Qiluo has already cultivated to the Great Celestial Heavens."

Celestial Emperor's imperial edict was sent to the Heaven Alliance Meeting at the right time, and Shi Qiluo was conferred as the eleventh Celestial Venerable. Everyone was happy.

Qin Mu invited Shi Qiluo to take a seat. He then announced the opening of the ancestral court and the back of the ancestral court, causing a commotion in the thousands of worlds.

This matter was related to the interests of the rulers of the heavens and the myriad worlds. The interests of the ancestral court and the back side of the ancestral court were extremely great. Originally, the ten Celestial Venerables and Qin Mu had been in charge, so no one else could take a share.

Now that Qin Mu had announced the opening of the ancestral court and the back of the ancestral court, everyone was naturally happy.

'Opening up the back of the ancestral court and the ancestral court is the same thing as establishing the Beast Realm. However, Celestial Venerable Mu is divided into two matters, which is to win people's hearts. This brat is no longer someone that can be easily manipulated.' The Celestial Venerables looked at each other and thought to themselves.

When Qin Mu announced this, the people's hearts naturally turned to Qin Mu. This was the privilege of the alliance master.

However, even though Qin Mu could win the hearts of some people, power and status were built on power and influence. Without power and influence, everything was just empty talk.

The rulers of those heavens weren't fools and wouldn't submit to Qin Mu just because of this.

The human heart was not worth much.

Qin Mu then announced the establishment of the beast world and invited the dragon to explain the operation of the beast world and the relationship between the summoner and the primordial beast.

This was naturally another huge matter that caused a commotion, and it made the rulers of the various heavens indescribably excited. Summoning primordial behemoths to fight could raise the abilities of divine arts practitioners and gods!

After these two major events were announced, the impact of the crusade against Heaven Duke was finally dispersed.

Next, Qin Mu announced in front of everyone that Crown Prince Ming Ya had submitted to Xie Wuqi and betrayed the celestial heavens. However, there was no crown prince in the court today, so Celestial Emperor conferred Celestial Venerable Hao as the crown prince.

Everyone looked at each other in dismay.

The Crown Prince of the main palace naturally couldn't be compared to a Celestial Venerable. Celestial Venerables were extremely respected, and they held great power in the court of the celestial heavens. They divided the world, and the heavens were loyal to them. They had countless gods under them.

On the other hand, the crown prince had no authority, and his status was inferior to that of a Celestial Venerable. When he saw a Celestial Venerable, it was like seeing a Celestial Emperor, and he had to bow.

It wasn't a secret that Celestial Venerable Hao was the son of Celestial Emperor. However, Celestial Venerable Hao was willing to be the crown prince, which made people wonder why.

"After getting rid of Heaven Duke, I'm afraid it won't be long before the ten Celestial Venerables lay their hands on Celestial Emperor."

Someone saw the situation and thought to himself, 'The ten Celestial Venerables want to get rid of all the ancient gods once and for all and seize power! However, what's puzzling is that couldn't His Majesty Celestial Emperor see through it? Why did he still confer Celestial Venerable Hao as the crown prince? Could Celestial Venerable Qin's words be true?'

When Founding Emperor split apart the celestial heavens with a sword, he had challenged Celestial Emperor and mocked him for being a puppet. The real Celestial Emperor had long been killed by the ten Celestial Venerables.

The information that came out of it made one's hair stand on end!

However, the ten Celestial Venerables had immense power and quickly suppressed this matter.

Now, from Crown Prince Ming Ya's betrayal to Celestial Venerable Hao becoming Crown Prince Hao, it seemed like there was a reason for this.

The order in which Qin Mu announced these four important matters was very particular. Putting the matter of suppressing Heaven Duke in front of him, it caused a shock, which meant that Heaven Duke had nothing to do with him.

Opening up the ancestral court and establishing the beast world in the middle to win people's hearts.

As for the crown prince, he would be placed at the back, which would cause the rulers of the thousands of worlds to ponder.

After the meeting of the Heaven Alliance ended, the fourth matter would cause the rulers of the various worlds to discuss for a long time. It would unknowingly weaken Celestial Venerable Hao's position in everyone's hearts, and it would also reduce the reputation of the ten Celestial Venerables.

Furthermore, when news of Celestial Emperor's death spread, all kinds of rumors would spread at an extremely fast speed. The image of the ten Celestial Venerables would be greatly discounted.

This was a battle of the heart. If the order of these four major events were slightly changed, it wouldn't have such an effect.

Qin Mu had experienced the baptism of the Nine Hells Stage. His Dao heart was pure, and his wisdom was open. That was why he could turn the situation of the ten Celestial Venerables into a disadvantage with just a few words.

Dao heart and Dao Realm, the divine arts practitioners and gods of the past and present didn't place much importance on them. However, in the future, there would be even more people who valued Dao heart and Dao Realm.

Some people could see further and thought to themselves, 'Since Celestial Emperor is a puppet and not the real Celestial Emperor, and the ten Celestial Venerables are sure to win, who will be Celestial Emperor when the big picture is set? After all, there are eleven Celestial Venerables… In the future, we will not only have to stand between Celestial Emperor and the ten Celestial Venerables, we will also have to stand between them!'

"If you take a wrong step, you will be doomed!"

"In the future, even if the ten Celestial Venerables exterminate the ancient gods, the world won't be peaceful. On the contrary, the battles will be even more intense and bitter! We need to be prepared!"

During the Celestial Heavens Meeting, the ten Celestial Venerables had warm expressions like the spring wind, but their hearts weren't calm.

Unknowingly, Qin Mu had already become a troublesome opponent, and this opponent had even snuck into their midst to call them brothers and split the benefits!

"However, back then, Celestial Venerable Yun, who was even harder to deal with than him, also died in our hands. The current Celestial Venerable Mu is still inferior to Celestial Venerable Yun. It's probably wishful thinking to overturn the heavens with one hand!"

The ten Celestial Venerables had their own plans, calculating the gains and losses.

After this distinguished meeting, all the worlds and heavens would see the potential of Eternal Peace's reform and Founding Emperor's reform. There would probably be even more people looking forward to Eternal Peace's reform and trying to absorb the results.

The situation was gradually spiraling out of control. They had to strictly prohibit the other heavens from following the reforms of Eternal Peace and Founding Emperor. At the same time, they had to hurry and infiltrate Eternal Peace, allowing their clones to absorb more results from the reforms. They had to prepare for the future and seize the initiative!

In the future, even if the power of reform was overwhelming and unstoppable, they would still be at the peak of the world, the peak of power!

Eternal Peace, a tiny place, had already become a place that would influence their future!

"But no matter what happens in the future, it won't affect our position! We will still be the top predators of this world!"

With the end of the Heaven Alliance Meeting, there were turbulent undercurrents. Setting up the beast world was a huge matter, and it was difficult to do so easily.

The beast world needed to unify the backs of the major worlds and move the huge beasts behind the ancestral court into the beast world.

Besides needing the ten Celestial Venerables and the dragon to open the seal on the back of the ancestral court, they also needed to open up the back of the sealed worlds.

To the current celestial heavens, doing these things wasn't difficult.

The back of the ancestral court and the various worlds were sealed by Celestial Emperor's Grand Primordium and the ancient gods of the primordial era. Today's court's power had far surpassed that of the past.

However, to achieve this step and unify the back of each world into the beast world, only letting the primordial behemoths live there and not letting the other races enter, they still needed to develop new sealing divine arts.

This wasn't difficult for the ten Celestial Venerables and the sacred beings of the celestial heavens. The ten Celestial Venerables left this matter to the Dao Ancestors and the celestial heavens' Dao Sect.

Qin Mu, on the other hand, had the time to cultivate in Celestial Venerable Mu's residence and comprehend the more useful aspects of the Nine Hells Stage.

From time to time, the rulers of the heavens would come to pay a visit, but they were all stopped by his men. He looked like he was cultivating in peace.

The ten Celestial Venerables established the beast world and excluded him, but Qin Mu didn't take it to heart. As long as he mastered the summoning divine art, it was no big deal even if he didn't participate in the construction of the beast world.

Half a year later, the ten Celestial Venerables established the Beast World. The dragon led the primordial behemoths into the Beast World, and the first god successfully summoned the first primordial behemoth. When the primordial behemoth returned to the Beast World, it caused another commotion in the thousands of worlds.

Only then did Qin Mu walk out of Celestial Venerable Mu's manor.

He looked around and saw some gods summoning primordial behemoths from the celestial heavens. They were riding on them happily.

The streets and alleys were all talking about summoning primordial behemoths and the riches of the ancestral court. There were already quite a number of people from the heavens moving to the ancestral court, preparing to settle there and extract the wealth of the ancestral court.

There were even rumors that the Celestial Emperor had gathered the ten Celestial Venerables to discuss and was preparing to move the celestial heavens into the ancestral court.

Qin Mu walked towards God Emperor Lang Xuan's Lang Xuan Divine Palace. Another huge beast descended from the sky, and a young god was overjoyed. He was cheering, and it should be him summoning a primordial beast.

"Dragon, don't disappoint me, or else when you meet my brother in the future, it will truly be the time of your death."

Qin Mu's gaze flickered, and he came to the Lang Xuan Divine Palace. God Emperor Lang Xuan came out to welcome him, and the two of them sat down in Numinous Sky Hall in the palace. Qin Mu explained his intentions and said, "I would like to borrow God Emperor's ancestral court's Jade Pavilion in Jade Pool."

God Emperor Lang Xuan's gaze flickered. He held his teacup and glanced at the expression on his face, not letting any change of expression escape his eyes. He took a sip of tea and said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Mu, you take advantage of every opportunity. You are an invulnerable person who will rush over whenever you smell a fishy smell. You must have your reasons for wanting to borrow my Jade Pool. What benefits do I have?"

Qin Mu smiled and said, "I'll let you comprehend my black mountain for a few days. How about this benefit?"

God Emperor Lang Xuan laughed loudly and put down his teacup. He said leisurely, "Your poor mountain and river are filled with unruly people, so why should I go to your place? Celestial Venerable Mu, I won't bully you. I'm learning reform in your Eternal Peace, and there are many difficult questions regarding paths, skills, and divine arts that I don't understand. It's a pity I can't find Jiang Baigui or Emperor Yanfeng to help me solve them. You are Celestial Venerable Mu, the last of the three heroes of Eternal Peace's reform. Explain it to me personally!"

Qin Mu had a troubled expression, and he said, "Even though I'm one of the three heroes of Eternal Peace, I'm already outdated for many years. If you want to learn the best, I'll recommend a teacher to you. His name is Xu Shenghua, and he'll teach you. Xu Shenghua is with Big Black Wood in the ancestral court…"

God Emperor Lang Xuan sneered and said, "Don't try to fool me with indecent people! Teach me personally, or else don't even think about stepping into my Jade Pool!"
