Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1565: Lighting The Skylamp

"Celestial Empress seems to be even crazier than the last time I saw her."

Qin Mu was slightly bewildered. Not only did Celestial Empress' symptoms not lessen, they became even worse. She was even worse than the last time and was crazy.

Actually, the current Celestial Empress could no longer be called Celestial Empress, nor could she be called Yuanmu. Instead, she should be called the Ruins of End Goddess.

That was because in the Jade Capital City of the ancestral court, the ancient gods of taiji was eager for instant benefits and forcefully fused Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu together. Their consciousnesses fused into one, and neither of them destroyed the other. Instead, they became one entity, becoming a unique state of being one with the other.

The ancient gods of taiji tried to find a path for them and achieve the Dao. In the end, they created a strange Daoist like the Ruins of End Goddess.

The goddess of the Ruins of End had two personalities. One of them thought she was Celestial Empress, while the other thought she was Mistress Yuanmu. However, in reality, they were both part of the goddess of the Ruins of End. It was just that the goddess of the Ruins of End had been tortured to the point of insanity, so she didn't realize this.

Celestial Empress and Mistress Yuanmu had fought for their entire lives. It was fine when they were twin lotuses, but when they were both in the same body, it was no small matter.

Hua, the sound of water was deafening.

Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Gong were attacked by the water of the underworld river and came to the Ruins of End from the huge crack.

In the sky above the Ruins of End, there were dead stars and constellations floating. Huge planets floated above their heads and were shattered. They were guided by the abyss, and occasionally, stars would fall into the abyss, giving off dazzling light.

It was to the extent where even the heavens of destruction floated over, being drawn over, captured by the great abyss, torn apart.

When the Nether River came here, it was also pulled by the abyss and injected into this unfathomable crack of the universe.

Qin Mu popped his head out from the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel, and his gaze flickered. The Ruins of End had become more complete than the last time he was here. It should have returned to its original appearance.

The last time he had come here, the celestial river had poured into the East Sea of the Primordial Realm, not into the abyss, but into the abyss.

Now, the celestial river had returned to its original orbit and flowed through Youdu, transforming into the ghost river in Youdu. Only then did the original appearance of this universe return.

Suddenly, the abyss of the Ruins of End swallowed too many stars and fragments of the heavens, and a tide appeared, spewing out light.

This was the tide of the Ruins of End. Qin Mu had met it the last time he came here.

However, with the infusion of the Nether River this time, the surging tide of the Ruins of End became even more violent and spectacular. However, the light stream was vast and mighty, like another celestial river formed by light and shadow, spewing into the void and flying somewhere.

Meanwhile, the Nether River continued to pour into the abyss and wasn't spewed out along with the tide of the Ruins of End.

Two huge flowers coiled around each other and slowly rose from the abyss. The nether river coiled around the twin lotuses and flowed into the depths of the abyss.

The twin lotuses were delicate and beautiful. In such a harsh environment, they were still very charming.

"Celestial Venerable Gong, don't you find it strange?"

Qin Mu looked at the two huge flowers in a daze and suddenly said, "The ancient gods have eggs, Dao, sacrificial offerings, and the birth of heaven and earth. Among the ancient gods of Dao, there are the sisters of Heaven Duke, Earth Count, Celestial Empress, and Heavenly Yin."

Celestial Venerable Gong didn't know what he wanted to say, so she listened quietly.

"Heaven Duke, Earth Count, and Goddess of Heavenly Yin don't have any accompanying treasures, only Celestial Empress' sister has one."

Qin Mu stretched out his upper body from the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel and pointed at the twin lotuses. "These two lotuses are their accompanying treasures! As the five precelestial treasures, from Tai Yi to Taiji, they all have accompanying treasures!"

Celestial Venerable Gong's expression changed slightly, and he probed, "What you mean is?"

'Could Celestial Empress' sister not be an ancient god born from the Dao, but a god like the Five Ancient Gods? '

Qin Mu voiced out the doubt in his heart and said, "The geography of the Ruins of End is extremely special. The Dao gives birth to ancient gods, and they are ancient gods that appeared when the Dao was born, such as Heaven Duke, Earth Count, and Heavenly Yin. These three ancient gods are all related to life, and they were born because of their existence. However, the Ruins of End doesn't seem to be like that. In that case, why did the Ruins of End give birth? And what era was it born in?"

Celestial Venerable Gong raised the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel and examined the tide of the Ruins of End, waiting for it to return. He then threw him into the abyss and said with a smile, "Celestial Venerable Mu, you are already on the verge of death, so why are you still in the mood to study these strange things?"

"It's enough to die in the morning. Celestial Venerable Gong, you can't be compared to the Grand Emperor, Tai Chu, or Celestial Venerable Hao. What you can't be compared to is that you don't have much desire for knowledge."

Qin Mu smiled. "That's why you can't be compared to me."

Celestial Venerable Gong sneered and said, "When we first met, how harmonious were we? I borrowed your abilities to escape from the ancestral court and owed you a favor, but I returned it to you later. The Dragon Han split, and I was killed while stealing Celestial Emperor's corporeal body. You saved my life, and I returned it to you afterward. Celestial Venerable Mu, if you weren't so stubborn, would things have come to this?"

Qin Mu recalled the past and also sighed endlessly. He asked, "Gong Yun, if I knew your actions, do you think I would have saved you back then?"

"No."

Celestial Venerable Gong said resolutely, "You will hit me when I'm down, you can't wait for me to die."

Qin Mu said indifferently, "That's why I don't have to remind you that Celestial Empress is right behind you."

Celestial Venerable Gong's hair stood on end, and she suddenly turned back to see Celestial Empress standing behind her!

Celestial Empress was reincarnated as Heavenly Lady Yan, and the two girls had different appearances. Heavenly Lady Yan had always been one of the ten Celestial Venerables, so few people doubted her identity.

And now, she had returned to the appearance of Celestial Empress.

The woman stood there expressionlessly, staring straight at Celestial Venerable Gong.

Celestial Venerable Gong let out a sigh of relief and said, "Heavenly Lady Yan, even though I have submitted to Celestial Venerable Hao and you have submitted to Celestial Venerable Xiao, there isn't much enmity between us. On the contrary, we share the same interests. There's no need for us to fight to the death. In the future, no matter if Celestial Venerable Xiao wins or Celestial Venerable Hao wins, we will still be Celestial Venerables."

Celestial Empress continued to stare at her without saying a word.

Celestial Venerable Gong frowned slightly and sensed that something was wrong with her. He continued, "Even though we had some grudges during the primordial era, that's all in the past. Let bygones be bygones."

Celestial Empress continued to look straight at her, and she suddenly raised her hand. Celestial Venerable Gong was about to block, but he missed. Celestial Empress' hand was already on her face.

Celestial Venerable Gong's skin trembled, and he didn't dare to move.

Celestial Empress caressed her face for a while before whispering, "Sister, have you had enough? There's a good body here, so move into it. There's no need to fight with me."

Celestial Venerable Gong's scalp turned numb. "Superb body, are you talking about me?"

The voice of another woman suddenly came from the back of Celestial Empress' head. It sounded like Mistress Yuanmu's voice, and she chuckled. "Sister, how am I competing with you? It's clearly you competing with me! If you really want to separate from me, kill Celestial Venerable Gong and enter her body!"

"Shut up slut!" Celestial Empress was furious, and her black hair fluttered in the wind.

Behind her head, Mistress Yuanmu chuckled. "I'm a slut, how good can you be? You're also a slut! I only slept with Brother-in-law and slept with him alone, but how many male companions have you raised in the past million years? How many pretty boys have you raised?"

She said mockingly, "If you line up all the pretty boys you have, you can probably line them from Southern Heavenly Gate to Northern Heavenly Gate, right?"

"Slut!"

"You're the slut!"

Celestial Venerable Gong's heart turned cold as he took a step back. Behind him was the abyss of the Ruins of End.

She also didn't know what had happened to Celestial Empress, but she could see that Celestial Empress was in a bad situation, and her own was even worse!

Celestial Empress and Yuanmu's voices quarreled for a moment before suddenly calming down. Celestial Empress lowered her head, and her beautiful hair covered her face, making it impossible for others to see her face.

The voices of two different women came from her mouth, and one of them chuckled. "We sisters have been fighting for so many years, and we must be tired of it, right? Come to think of it, fighting for so long for a stinky man is really embarrassing."

"That's right."

Another voice said, "That stinky man is still alive and well. On the other hand, we have shed all pretense of cordiality and hurt our sisterhood."

Celestial Empress slowly raised her head. She still had the same face, but the mole in the heart of her brows was split into two colors, red and black, each taking up half.

Qin Mu popped his head out from the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel and shuddered when he saw this scene. He secretly retreated, but he had nowhere to go. Behind him was the abyss of the Ruins of End!

Mistress Yuanmu's voice came from Celestial Empress' mouth, full of temptation. "Our abilities are so strong, why do we need to rely on this and that? Isn't it good for us to be celestial emperors ourselves? We can just snatch any man we fancy."

Celestial Empress said, "What you said makes sense. Even Earth Count can't beat us, so there's indeed no need for us to fight over a stinky man."

She seemed to be talking to herself, giving off an incomparably crazy feeling. "We should kill the ten Celestial Venerables first. There's one in front of us…"

Celestial Venerable Gong heard this and immediately attacked Celestial Empress. "Heavenly Lady Yan, you are crazy…"

Boom!

Celestial Empress raised her hand to strike, and the entire Ruins of End shook violently. In the next moment, Celestial Venerable Gong lay on the ground, still in a daze.

Almost all of her bones were broken, and the celestial palaces and celestial heavens were also destroyed.

Yet strangely, Celestial Empress didn't continue to lay her hands on her.

After a long time, Celestial Venerable Gong suppressed his injuries and used the Creation Mysterious Technique to regrow his broken bones. He struggled to get up and spat out a few mouthfuls of blood.

At this moment, she realized Celestial Empress was raising a huge furnace beside the Ruins of End. She was secretly executing her Dao fire to burn the furnace red.

"Shh."

Celestial Empress turned her face around and made a shushing motion at her. She laughed softly and said, "Big sister is asleep. This little slut is finally asleep. I'm refining a divine furnace to refine this little slut into spirit pills and miraculous medicines."

Her eyes shone with excitement as she muttered, looking like a bad guy doing something bad.

Celestial Venerable Gong saw the materials used for the pill furnace. Wasn't it Celestial Venerable Hao's Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel?

Celestial Venerable Hao's supreme treasure had extraordinary power. He had seventy-two Reversal Celestial Palace and one hundred and sixteen Reversal Treasure Halls. However, this supreme treasure was actually chopped into pieces by this crazy woman and used as a material for refining treasures!

Celestial Venerable Gong's heart jumped, and he hurriedly went to look for Qin Mu in the Myriad Dao Heavenly Wheel. He saw Qin Mu being held in the palm of the crazy woman with an innocent expression.

That crazy woman was currently using him as a torch and lighting him up to refine this pill furnace.

Celestial Venerable Gong was astonished. How powerful was Celestial Venerable Mu? If they were to fight head-on, Celestial Venerable Gong wouldn't be able to defeat him!

Yet now, Qin Mu was actually subdued by Celestial Empress, igniting his Dao to become Dao fire!

Celestial Venerable Gong was both afraid and amused. He thought to himself, 'That thief Mu is dead for sure. Even if I don't throw him into the Ruins of End, he's dead for sure. Celestial Empress is already crazy, I can't be left here.'

She was about to leave when Celestial Empress fell to the ground and fell into a deep sleep.

Celestial Venerable Gong was stunned and was about to take the chance to leave when Celestial Empress suddenly stood up straight and appeared behind her in the blink of an eye. A cold smile appeared on her face. "This little slut wants to scheme against me, how can I not know? It's hard for me to refine her to death, but this little slut is the Patriarch Creation Palace Master, she's proficient in the path of creation, the path of forging, and she controls the creation divine weapon. The treasure she created can refine me to death, so she can definitely refine herself to death! Therefore, I gave her this chance to create this great furnace. Tell me, is my plan clever, Celestial Venerable Gong?"

Celestial Venerable Gong forced a smile. "Celestial Empress' wisdom is boundless…"

Celestial Empress grabbed her and held her in her palm. She walked towards the huge furnace and muttered, "Although Celestial Venerable Mu's cultivation is high, his magic power is weak. I still need to ignite another Celestial Venerable to refine this treasure…"

After a moment, Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Gong were like two huge human-shaped torches that were filled with blazing Dao flames. They were placed under the huge furnace.

The two of them looked at each other and saw the helplessness on each other's faces.

"Have you guys seen my sister, that little slut?"

Suddenly Celestial Empress changed her tone to that of Mistress Yuanmu. She excitedly said to the two people under the huge furnace, "That little slut must be planning how to scheme against me, right?"

Qin Mu said helplessly, "Sister Yuanmu, stop fooling around…"
