Pre-Qin Mythology: Starting with the River God

Tu Bo still did not realize his mistake and wanted to refute it.

The Grand Master of Fate's expression turned solemn, and black mist rose around him. Jade flowers sprouted from the mist, and when they fell, they transformed into celestial spirits...

They ride dragons as horses and clouds as their chariots!

The Grand Master of Destiny sits atop the chariot!

The male spirits guarding him held long spears, their eyes filled with savagery, while the female spirits chanted sacrificial music, all cursing death.

—Soaring high and gliding peacefully, riding the pure air and controlling yin and yang—

As the Great Master of Fate pointed downwards, whirlwinds cleared the way ahead, and torrential rains cleansed the vast sky. With this single move, a black light enveloped the Earth God's body, and with its powerful authority and Daoist aura, it forcefully peeled off a section of the horn from the Earth God's head, making him appear as a supreme deity who held the power of life and death!

—I am destined to die—

hum!

Tu Bo was terrified and unable to move at all.

He could only watch as the horns on his tiger head snapped off at the tips and fell into Quan Ming's hands!

"what!"

Tu Bo stared wide-eyed at Quan Ming, who had just accepted the power, wanting to kill him!

Without this authority, how can he advance to the fifth level of the Dao Heaven Realm?

But the High Priestess was still watching him...

Faced with life and death, Tu Bo had no say. He silently sank into the abyss, only revealing the broken horn. This was the only way he could resist the punishment in front of the Grand Master of Fate.

The Grand Master of Fate did not disperse his divine power. After dealing with the conflict between Quan Ming and Tu Bo, he rode his chariot and temporarily positioned himself in a corner, overlooking all the immortals and gods.

All the immortals and gods trembled.

Even Quan Ming was shocked by Da Siming's decisive and ruthless methods of seizing power.

At the same time, he sighed inwardly.

Fortunately, Xiangjun was gentle and a gentleman; otherwise, as the supreme deity of the Chu water system, it wouldn't have taken much effort for Xiangjun to suppress Quanming. Even if Quanming resisted, he would have been powerless to struggle when the Yangtze River flowed back into the Quan River...

Of course, he didn't betray the State of Chu, so it wasn't to that extent.

Looking at the horn in his hand, which was about the size of an arm.

Quan Ming incorporated it into his will.

He used his own Xuan Bird Seal to suppress and refine it.

This is the embodiment of authority, which can be called a divine artifact. Of course, immortals and gods all call it the artifact of destiny.

With this vessel in existence, the souls of any creature that dies in the Quanshui waters will enter the Quanshui waters, where it will guide them through the yin and yang realms to be reborn.

This achievement will also continuously bring him the will of the Chu region.

And he could control this power for a hundred years.

A hundred years... The Chu Kingdom has only existed for a few hundred years. After a hundred years, Quan Ming will be several levels of immortals and gods. Whether Tu Bo can take back this power is another matter.

Therefore, Quan Ming quietly returned to his position and stopped causing trouble.

Otherwise, he had reason to believe that, in order to give Tu Bo a way out and to save face for a high-ranking deity, the Grand Master of Fate would also make things difficult for him.

As expected, seeing Quan Ming's measured approach, a hint of disappointment flashed in Da Siming's eyes.

However, this was fleeting, and she would not force justice for the sake of justice.

Boom!

As the matter was resolved, the four levels of Dao Heaven Immortals who had been observing from the shadows all revealed themselves.

However, due to the presence of the Grand Master of Fate and the Junior Master of Fate, both at the fifth level of the Dao Heaven Realm, they did not excessively display their divine power, but simply joined the ranks quickly.

Afterwards, several immortals and gods at the fifth level of the Dao Heaven also joined the ranks.

thump...

Dongjun!

Lord of the Clouds!

The two ruling deities, both at the sixth level of the Dao Heaven realm, appeared with an even greater pomp than the Lesser and Greater Masters of Fate. Their appearance filled half the sky with divine might, and the two stood facing each other on either side, paying no attention to what was happening below.

after that……

These are some deities of the seventh level of the Dao Heaven, but unlike the other immortals and gods, these immortals and gods are all phantoms with little willpower. Some are even so ethereal and illusory that they seem to disappear at any moment.

There is a nest.

Suiren.

Zhisheng.

Fuxi.

Nuwa.

Emperor Yan.

Xuanyuan.

Zhuanxu.

Zhu Rong.

Queen Mother of the West.

...and so on, ancient ancestral gods, all imbued with the local Daoist charm of the Chu Kingdom, fragrant herbs and flowers, ribbon patterns...

Dangdang Dangdang!

Finally, there is the supreme deity who governs the Dao Heaven!

A pair of eyes looked down from the sky, the surrounding clouds and mist transforming into his body. The island was like a small object held in his hands, so vast and so divine. All the immortals and gods before him were like babbling children...

"Welcome... Donghuang Taiyi"

The voices of the immortals and gods resounded throughout the heavens, and Quan Ming was among them. Facing this deity, he couldn't help but feel respect... This was the supreme deity of the Chu region, and because the Quan Kingdom was located next to the Chu Kingdom, this deity also held prestige in the Quan Kingdom... Of course, the nobles of the Quan Kingdom did not worship him, and those who did would be punished.

However, Quan Ming is now a member of the immortals and gods of Chu.

This supreme god deserves our respect.

Because... Taiyi is the embodiment of the Daotian of Chu, and all the will of Chu is guided by him, which means... the origin of the immortals and gods of Chu lies in Taiyi.

Although being limited by one's own state is not pleasant.

But Taiyi, like a Daoist, is actually devoid of the seven emotions and six desires. He is the most rational being in the Dao Heaven, and judges the immortals and gods solely by the increase or decrease of the Chu Kingdom's fortune...

He has no selfish motives when it comes to any promotion.

Working under him is a thousand times better than working in the court of the King of Chu.

This is also why Quan Ming truly respects him.

Boom!

The appearance of Donghuang Taiyi was merely to witness the event; he would not participate in the Dao Tian Assembly. After his appearance, a figure slowly emerged on the altar in the center of this ancient battlefield.

Quan Ming was very familiar with this person.

"Qu Xia, the Mo'ao of Chu... greets all the immortals and gods."

Qu Xia bowed slightly. Since he represented the King of Chu at the moment, he did not perform a formal ceremony. Instead, some of the lower-ranking immortals and gods around him performed a grand ceremony to Qu Xia.

Quan Ming glanced at them and figured that these people must all have families still alive and make a living under the Qu family.

Ok……

Quan Ming's gaze met Qu Xia's.

Qu Xia quickly moved away and said to Donghuang Taiyi, who was sitting at the head of the table, "Donghuang, please order the high-ranking immortals to go to the north of Chu to guard the border and await the king's command."

Taiyi nodded slowly.

One divine decree after another was bestowed, falling into the hands of those high-ranking deities.

Thereupon, Taiyi disappeared.

Seeing that Taiyi agreed, Qu Xia breathed a sigh of relief. Only then could he feel at ease to discuss the second war with these immortals and gods.

Holding the divine command.

The high-ranking deities remained silent, but their gazes held a hint of displeasure.

Qu Xia came prepared, without informing them beforehand, and went to seek the divine decree of Taiyi. Thus, in the war, they all had to obey Qu Xia's orders and could not disobey, otherwise they would be going against the Dao and Heaven.

How...

Is it because they were dissatisfied with their refusal to attend the last Daotian Conference?

Their excuses stemmed from the fact that Qu Xia, the Mo'ao who was promoted by the aristocratic families, not only considered the interests of the Chu state but also those of the aristocratic families, and the policies he made were both beneficial and detrimental to Daotian.

If the Dao and Heaven are harmed, these immortals and gods who personally carry out the actions will also be punished.

"Mo Ao initiating the second Dao Tian Assembly, could it be merely to have us accept this divine decree?"

Dongjun wields the power of the great sun, resides amidst flames, is tall and strong, with dark skin, wears a white robe and a dragon tail, and is sculpted with gold and red patterns, outlining a strong and beautiful figure. He enjoys a high status among the Chu people, who regard Zhurong as their ancestor.

Under the majesty of His Dao Heaven Sixfold, Qu Xia's face turned pale.

Qu Xia knew that his actions today had offended these immortals and gods, but he had to do it, because in a great battle, only one voice could possibly win!

He was speaking on behalf of the King of Chu.

Naturally, he could not be timid. Gritting his teeth, he recounted some of the plans he had discussed with the King of Chu. At the same time, he continuously issued royal decrees to the immortals and gods whose names he mentioned, arranging wartime matters...
