Pre-Qin Mythology: Starting with the River God

The Gui Cang states—

The Heavenly Fire belongs to the eldest brother!

The fire in the sky and the red clouds rising in the heavens are signs of the heavenly officials bestowing blessings!

Therefore, the artifacts crafted by this image are also related to bestowing blessings. If he wants to enhance the power of the artifacts, he needs to continuously practice the matter of "returning to the elder brother" in order to achieve consistency between words and deeds and to condense the restrictions.

—His way is not my way—

If Shao Siming were to give him the feather fan completely, the restrictions on the fan would also need to be lifted.

Quan Ming thought about it noncommittally, but put the matter aside for the time being.

If blessings are to be bestowed, it will have to wait until the Spring Equinox, during the spring planting season, to use this cloud talisman to descend and bestow blessings, and strengthen the restrictions.

Of course, there is more than one type of sacrifice.

Among them, the war sacrifice is very suitable for the war at this moment, but... those are sacrifices that can only be performed when the King of Chu or the general requests the order to start the war, and generally speaking, the sacrifices are performed for the war immortals among the high-ranking immortals, and it is not Quan Ming's turn.

I pulled myself back to reality.

Quan Ming summoned the covered wagon; he needed to go to Quanshui Pass now.

Now that he has obtained Prince Luo's remains, he should end this war between immortals and gods, otherwise things could get out of control. At the same time, this achievement of suppressing the chaos is also part of his plan.

Now that a day and a night have passed, and those immortals and gods stationed north of the territory cannot take it down?

Let him do it!

……

……

Rumble!

North of Quanshui, at the pass where it meets Luoshui, the waters outside the pass are now raging. Above the waves stands a Luoxian, half snake and half human, with a ferocious face and bloodshot eyes. He is constantly manipulating the power of Luoshui, causing giant waves to crash against the crumbling stone wall of the pass...

Amidst the roar, the immortals and gods of Chu leaped and bounded continuously on the pass.

Mainly composed of water-based deities, these deities continuously unleash their power, their divine manifestations reflected in the sky, suppressing giant waves with their divine might and resisting wave after wave of attacks.

With ease.

These gods and immortals did not take the initiative to attack.

They are waiting.

As the sun rose and its rays shone brightly, the immortals, gods, and spirits who had come to the aid of Jing Mountain finally made their move, each unleashing their divine power and their true forms to assist the now-mad Luo Xian… As for why, it was because the clearly abnormal Luo Xian was actually staring wide-eyed and roaring, stirring up the heavens!

Luo Xian used his power over the Luo River to summon the Dao Heaven of the Luo Kingdom!

Once Dao Tian appears, it's a fight to the death; Luo Xian is truly going to risk everything!

A celestial deer cried out, "Immortal Luo, what exactly do you intend to do? You actually dare to summon the Dao Heaven! Do you know the disaster this will bring...?"

Before he could finish speaking, the immortals and gods of Chu, seeing that Luo Guodaotian had revealed a corner of himself, could no longer contain themselves.

One by one, they charged into the sky, leaping and flashing like streaks of light in the heavens, their divine spells flying, each strike aimed at Luo Xian with deadly intent!

The immortals and monsters from Luo Kingdom who came to help didn't have time to question Luo Xian; they all fought desperately to protect him... If Dao Tian really had a problem here and this group of Chu immortals and gods occupied a corner of the place, then all the immortals and gods here would be punished by Dao Tian!

Ah!

Damn Luo Xian, what's wrong with him going crazy here!

They may die, but this place must not be allowed to fall into danger, because the size of a country's territory determines the size of its Dao Heaven. If the Dao Heaven of this place is occupied by the State of Chu first, then in an instant, this territory will likely be unable to be defended and will fall into the hands of the State of Chu.

day!

land!

people!

Three essential steps!

When it's over...

The land is gone, and all living beings here have returned to Chu. The old world has been replaced by a new one!

How can these immortals and gods of the Luo Kingdom, who are connected to this place and wield power here through the Dao Heaven, continue to exist?

Once dead, never to be brought back to life!

Meanwhile, the immortals and gods of Chu...

Ah, once the Luo Kingdom seizes part of the Dao Heaven, the Chu Kingdom will use this to occupy the new land. The new heaven on this new land will be ownerless, and those who contributed the most and made the greatest contributions in the war should take it over.

How much of the Chu people's will is this?

How could they possibly keep their composure!

kill!

Both sides have a reason to kill, and they will not hold back when they charge into battle!

...Waaaaah!

Suddenly, just as the immortals and gods of Chu rushed into the territory of Luo Kingdom, relying on their numbers and Dao Heaven rank, slaughtering everyone around them, and about to slowly torture Luo Immortals and seize Dao Heaven, a loud horn sounded, shaking the four directions.

Meanwhile, dark clouds and fog spread from the northwest, instantly enveloping the entire battlefield.

A massive black shadow, hundreds of meters long, appeared in the water, moving about...

—The Immortals and Gods of Yong Kingdom—

Not good!

The immortals and gods of Chu changed their expressions, not expecting such a turn of events. They immediately withdrew and returned to guard the pass!

Dark clouds loomed over the city...

The black mist in the sky fell like heavenly water, like black hair, enveloping the immortals and spirits of Luo Kingdom, protecting them, and blocking the magic of the immortals and gods of Chu. Just as it was about to engulf Luo Immortal, Luo Immortal used his power over Luo Water to cut off the black hair.

The dark clouds paused.

He seemed to be angry.

Then, a sound like a pig's squeal came from underwater.

A massive black bull's head emerged from the water. Its body was tens of meters long, its fur jet black, and it swung wildly in the water, stirring up the wind and clouds, standing tall in the water.

It lowered its head and looked down at Luo Xian, who was injured in the battle with the immortals of Chu.

Bull-eyed disdain...

But it was driven by greed.

Ah!

The immortals and spirits of Luo Kingdom shrouded in black mist were suddenly bound by the black fur protecting them, which tightened, cracked, and turned into fine bloodstains amidst screams.

"Roar!"

As the bull opened its mouth wide, the blood and filth were sucked into its belly!

hum...

Blood sacrifice!

A powerful divine might surged forth, transforming into blood-red patterns that spread across the bull's head, revealing forbidden runes that continuously amplified the bull's power!

This force was like a giant hammer, crashing into the pass with a roar.

boom!

One by one, the Chu immortals who had initially tried to defend themselves were sent flying backward, blood gushing from their mouths. Several immortals at the first level of the Dao Heaven Realm, whose Daoist strength was weak, died on the spot, their divine bodies crashing to the ground...

suck!

With a deep inhale, these divine bodies were swallowed into the giant serpent's mouth, increasing its power.

"It's Yongniu Bo from Yongguo!"

On the battlefield, the mountain tiger immortal, who had met Quan Ming a few times, looked terrified. In its early years, it had migrated south from the Shennong Mountains in the Yong Kingdom to the Chu Kingdom and become a mountain immortal. Naturally, it could not forget what it had seen and heard in the Yong Kingdom, the most cruel Yongniu God, who was known for killing!

It endured its injuries and immediately transformed back into its original form.

A loud shout rang out: "Hold on to the death! This is Niu Bo of Yongdi, a fourth-level Dao Heaven cultivator... equivalent to Tu Bo!"

Niu Bo of Yongdi!

The immortals and gods of Chu were shaken.

In order to help the Zhou emperor, the state of Yong actually sent out the Earl of Yongniu?

According to rumors, this was a posthumously conferred earl or marquis title!

An ancestral god with real power!

Or perhaps... Ji Fa personally bestowed this title upon the state of Biaoyong, who followed him in destroying the Shang dynasty.

……

Zhang Xian, who had come here seeking merit, felt a chill in his heart and was filled with regret upon hearing the name of Yong Niu Bo.

The might of Yongniu Bo was comparable to that of the Tubo of Chu.

Tu Bo, who rules Youdu, is the most cruel god in the Chu region. Even they, as immortals at the third level of the Dao Heaven realm, dare not offend him in the slightest, and even show him reverence... This is because most of them were born into clans, and some of them have died before being enshrined as immortals. They have experienced the journey to Youdu and witnessed the terror of Tu Bo...

But they cannot retreat, otherwise they will be deserters in Dao Tian's eyes, betraying Dao Tian!

Guard!

The battle situation changed dramatically in an instant.

The Chu immortals, who were originally the main force to seize a corner of Luo Kingdom, all looked terrified. Like the Luo Kingdom immortals before them, they were determined to defend Quanshui Pass to the death.

Of course... there are still slight differences.

Clans prioritize interests, and the gods they represent are not those who rule over territory. If this place is lost, they will not lose their divine positions; they will only suffer a minor offense of retreating without achieving anything in battle.

Holding out is an option.

They can be resurrected after death.

But there's no need to use all your trump cards, especially some tricks that are best left unseen and can only be used once... It's not worth it for power and territory that have nothing to do with them.

At the same time, Yongniu Bo launched another attack.

The gods and immortals fought back with all their might!

Several immortals and gods living near Quandi felt this, while the others were only going through the motions. It seemed that the fall of Quanshui Pass was only a matter of time.

Zhang Xian and Dang Xian exchanged a glance; even they, who were on good terms with Quan Ming, were considering backing down.

When Yongniu Bo launched his third attack on the pass, he was powerless to stop him...

The immortals and gods of Chu will perish along with the pass.

At this moment...

hum!

when!

Where the water surged, a massive black bird seal, as large as a mountain, descended from the sky with immense power!
