Tales of Herding Gods
Chapter 1594: Earth Count's Legacy

Qin Fengqing's tears fell onto the flawless Life and Death Book. The golden book sparkled and shone through the tears.

Light gradually shone out from the tears, and it was like light passing through crystals, refracting in all directions and flowing continuously.

Qin Fengqing was furious and threw out the Life and Death Book!

"What use do I have for this foot washing cloth? Return me Earth Count—"

Whoosh—

The Life and Death Book floated in the air, and the book unfurled. It grew larger, and in an instant, a golden light covered his head.

The golden light was still expanding.

At that moment, Celestial Venerable Xu had already followed the celestial river to Youdu. He raised his head inadvertently and saw a golden screen of light stretching out from Earth Count's head. It grew wider, and it soon covered the countless worlds in the darkness!

Swoosh—

The Styx River was also severed by the golden light. The torrential water of the Styx River rushed into the golden light barrier and flowed within it!

Celestial Venerable Xu was bewildered. The vastness of Youdu was almost the same as the entire universe. Wherever there was death, there would be Youdu. Even the ancestral court overlapped with Youdu!

Only a few worlds prevented Youdu from descending, such as Xuandu, Heavenly Yin, and the celestial heavens.

At this moment, the speed at which the golden light screen expanded was unimaginable. It covered almost all the worlds and severed the connection between them and Youdu!

"Has Earth Count gone crazy?"

Celestial Venerable Xu's eyes sparkled. 'Has he decided to drag all the living beings in the world to die with him? He has indeed gone crazy and started to slaughter wantonly! However, this is Earth Count, this is the true devil path!'

Devil qi spewed out from her body and dyed the underworld river black. She said with a smile, "You always pretend to be impartial, pretending to be impartial, acting as if you are impartial and not selfish. However, I'm your daughter, so why don't I know what the devil path is? Now you've finally revealed your true colors!"

Behind her, the void split open, and Heaven Duke's huge face broke through the sky. He bent down and looked over.

Ancestral God King stood in the heart of Heaven Duke's brows, and the devil qi collided with the god qi of Xuandu, destroying each other. This caused the surroundings of Heaven Duke to be filled with flames created by the destruction, covering the sky.

"Celestial Venerable Xu, Earth Count wants to slaughter all living beings. If he kills all of them, who will we rule?" Ancestral God King shouted.

"Let him kill!"

Celestial Venerable Xu waved his sleeves and sneered. "The more he kills, the less effort we will have. Even if he destroys all worlds, so what? He will never escape death!"

Ancestral God King frowned.

Celestial Venerable Xu said coldly, "If worse comes to worst, we can create a new heaven and create a new batch of obedient lifeforms and gods!"

Suddenly, her cheeks became wet, and her tears slid down her cheeks. They floated in the air and transformed into devil flames.

"Why would I cry?"

Celestial Venerable Xu muttered, "I've only shed a tear once in my life, and it was when I was young and ignorant. Ever since then, I've never shed a tear again…"

She looked at the devil fire tears that were floating in the air and was slightly absent-minded. She felt slightly uneasy.

At this moment, a name appeared on the Life and Death Book that covered the entire Youdu world.

"Earth."

Celestial Venerable Xu looked at this name with a puzzled expression and muttered, "Who is Earth?"

The word 'earth' on the Life and Death Book gradually dimmed, and an image appeared on the surface of the Youdu treasure. It was an incomparably ancient and savage era. During the primordial era, there was a group of giants in the world. They were the predecessors of the masters of creation, and at that time, they had yet to become masters of creation.

They lived on the land of the ancestral court, ignorant. They didn't know what death was.

Until one day, a person called 'Earth' died.

At this moment, the ignorant giants of the wilderness finally understood what death meant. They surrounded this dead giant, praying and offering sacrifices. The bonfire shone on the dark sky and melted the ground, turning the mountain rocks and soil into lava.

Magma and the celestial river flowed together, and the ancient giants offered sacrifices to the corpses of the "earth", praying for death to avoid them.

They set up the raft and placed the "earth" on the celestial river, watching it flow along the celestial river and the magma river.

The celestial river flowed, and the Great Dao of the world gradually changed. This celestial river became pitch black, and it was filled with a demonic nature. It was filled with the fear of death of the giants.

Whoosh!

The celestial river and the lava river suddenly fell into an alternate dimension that was forming. The wooden raft burned, and the corpse of the earth turned into ashes. The lava swirled around his corpse, forming two huge horns!

His corporeal body was replaced by lava, and his soul was burned into ashes. The Great Dao of Youdu combined with his broken soul to form a new three souls.

His corporeal body was filled with the power of the Great Dao of Youdu, and his body grew larger. Youdu was also expanding rapidly!

The devil path transformed him into a god with the head of a bull, the body of a tiger, and the body of a human. The celestial river flowed forward and transformed into the ghost river, becoming a long whip in his hand.

Youdu had transformed him into an innate god that controlled death. He carried the will of Youdu and ruled the world of Youdu.

The order of the Great Dao of Youdu was his order, and the will of the Great Dao of Youdu was his will!

He would use the order of Youdu to rule the world of the dead, carrying out the will of Youdu, impartial!

The second ancient god was born, and Earth Count was born.

When the giants looked up at the sky, there was Xuandu in the sky. When the first giant died, there was Youdu.

As for Earth Count, he was a god born from the passing of life.

The scene on the Life and Death Book flashed past quickly, and the second name appeared. The third name appeared, and suddenly, countless names appeared on the Life and Death Book. Countless faces that were remarkably lifelike flashed past!

That was the name of the living beings that had died from the primordial era until now. The number of these dead was so great that it dazzled the eyes and dazzled the eyes. They disappeared before they could even take a look.

Ancestral God King and Celestial Venerable Xu were bewildered. Suddenly, all the names on the Life and Death Book vanished, leaving only one name.

Qin Fengqing.

"Little Earth Count Qin Fengqing?"

Celestial Venerable Xu's heart trembled slightly, and he saw this name becoming bigger. It gradually filled the entire Life and Death Book, and the name vanished, revealing the figure of Qin Fengqing crying.

At this moment, Celestial Venerable Xu and Ancestral God King saw Qin Fengqing standing in the center of Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit palm. Earth Count was right in front of him, but at this moment, Earth Count's incomparably huge corporeal body was actually cracking. The magma was boiling the lava on his body until it was floating, and the indestructible lava was turning soft!

The magma was Earth Count's blood, and at this moment, the blood flowed out from Earth Count's body like blood vessels exploding!

Not only that, Earth Count's incomparably huge horns started to collapse, and the world of death that formed the horns was crumbling and melting, falling from the sky!

Qin Fengqing cried even harder. However, the Youdu Devil Dao that was overflowing from Earth Count's body was tunneling into his body, as though the Youdu Devil Dao had found a new vessel.

"Not good!"

Celestial Venerable Xu shouted, "Earth Count is dead!"

In Youdu, under the Life and Death Book, Qin Fengqing was like a helpless child, his eyes full of tears.

The Great Dao of Youdu followed the light of the Life and Death Book and left Earth Count's unrivaled body. It poured into his body, and his body gradually grew. Just like Earth Count in the past, the lava turned into two horns on his head.

It was a pair of horns that he had been envious of for a long time. He had secretly peeped at Earth Count more than once and examined his horns. With his fingers in his mouth, he fantasized about having a pair of majestic horns.

He had even peeped at Celestial Venerable Xu before. He envied Celestial Venerable Xu for having a pair of long horns and blamed himself for not having one.

Now, he had gotten what he wanted. He had inherited Earth Count's inheritance and had his own two horns.

Not only that, but the Styx River flowed out from the Life and Death Book and flowed through his palm. He sensed that the Styx River had become his weapon, his long whip.

Earth Count's corporeal body collapsed, and the Great Dao of Youdu poured into his body. However, he didn't feel any joy, only intense sorrow.

"I don't want it…"

Soon, the palm of Celestial Venerable You's primordial spirit couldn't lift him up. Qin Fengqing was growing rapidly, surpassing his control.

He was no longer a fat baby, and he quickly grew into a youth. However, the horns of Earth Count's corporeal body also crumbled to the roots, and Earth Count's head was also about to crumble.

Qin Mu and Celestial Venerable Ling walked out from the vertical eye in the heart of Earth Count's brows and looked up at Qin Fengqing, who was growing taller.

"Big brother has grown up…"

Qin Mu's gaze was complicated. He wanted to laugh, but he couldn't hold back his tears. He thought to himself, 'I want you to be forever so pure, forever like a baby that has yet to grow up, carefree and without worries. However, I can't do that. I can't protect you from being happy and carefree in this miserable world, so I can only let you realize his cruelty and let you grow up quickly. I can protect you and the people you love…'

He said to Celestial Venerable Ling, "Earth Count's corporeal body is about to collapse, we need to hurry to Earth Count's feet. There are Ah Chou, Earth Count, and Heaven Duke there…"

Just as he said that, the Underworld River whip suddenly swept across his body and coiled around him.

Qin Mu was tightly bound by the ghost river, and he couldn't help but spin as he was pulled in front of Qin Fengqing.

"Brother, listen to me!"

Just as Qin Mu said that, he heard Qin Fengqing roaring furiously, "Bad brother—"

Boom!

The fist that was like a mountain smashed onto Qin Mu's body and sent him flying. Before he could fly far, the Nether River Whip had already wrapped around him again!

"I'll beat you to death, bad brother!"

Qin Fengqing sprinted over and punched Qin Mu again.

Qin Mu coughed up blood and flew backward. He was then caught and pulled towards Qin Fengqing.

Qin Fengqing's horns burned furiously, and the power of his Great Dao divine art became stronger. He wasn't inferior to Son of Heaven Yin to begin with, and now his abilities had advanced by leaps and bounds!

His fist came crashing down, and Qin Mu suddenly raised his hand to gently block Qin Fengqing's fist.

"Brother."

Qin Mu raised his head, and his consciousness rippled. "I can revive Earth Count."

Qin Fengqing was surprised and delighted. Suddenly, he heard a loud rumble as a palm struck the Life and Death Book that covered Youdu!

This power was extremely terrifying, and it actually distorted the Life and Death Book that had shrouded Youdu, severing the Great Dao of Youdu that flowed towards Qin Fengqing!
