Pre-Qin Mythology: Starting with the River God

At Quanshui Pass, the right wing was seriously injured!

Under the powerful conquest of the Yong Kingdom's Dao Heaven, it continuously suppressed the Chu Kingdom's Dao Heaven. The Chu Kingdom's Dao Heaven on this land of power was on the verge of collapse, and the immortals and gods of the surrounding Chu lands were all preparing to retreat...

"kill!"

"Stop them!"

Suddenly, shouts of killing filled the air.

The soldiers, led by the young general Dou Lian, had already stormed the city wall at the pass. Now, they stood on the wall, armed with weapons or farm tools, ready to die for their cause.

"I will not allow any mediocre person to enter; my young master shall live on forever!"

The massive force, numbering over 20,000, had completely blocked the pass with the arrival of powerful reinforcements. Even the mediocre ruler on the opposite side, who was preparing to annihilate the Right Commander in one fell swoop, was moved by their presence.

It was at that very moment.

The blood-covered Right Commander seized the opportunity and immediately used the strange beast he had summoned to abandon it and rush into the pass, staggering and about to collapse.

"Retreat...retreat..."

They didn't care about human rights or anything like that.

When the Right Commander saw that the reinforcements were from the Quan family, he realized that he had been tricked.

Meanwhile, Qu Xia fueled the flames, and the King of Chu remained silent, wanting only Qu Xia's position as Right Commander. Since Qu Xia had no reinforcements left, he immediately ordered his own troops to lead him away.

Faced with this, the Chu soldiers, whose families were controlled by clans such as the Wei clan, gripped their long spears tightly, hesitant and undecided.

Those in power turn a blind eye.

Seeing this, the right-hand man hesitated, and in his anger, he vomited blood again, his face becoming weak and pale.

flutter!

Suddenly, a splash of water seemed to come out of nowhere and hit the back of Right Collar's head hard.

Right collarbone fell to the ground in astonishment...

On the Quan River, Quan Ming, holding a peacock feather fan, rode a covered carriage to the pass. The carriage stood in mid-air, and Quan Ming ordered Dou Lian below him: "Send the Right Commander back to Jingmen."

Then he looked at the Chu soldiers.

"If you lose this strategic location, the State of Chu will be as if a stab has been plunged into the throat by a sharp sword from the State of Yong. How can you possibly retreat?"

Upon hearing this, the Chu soldiers tensed up.

At the opportune moment, Dou Lian, the young general, produced the personal edict of the King of Chu, which was his order to command the troops of Quan Di. The edict stated: "All troops of Quan Di shall be under his command!"

At this moment, disregarding any sense of overstepping his bounds, he used the force to suppress the armored soldiers brought by the Right Commander.

He shouted, "Quickly form ranks and engage the enemy!"

"..."

"Yes...yes!"

The soldiers were surprised that Quan Ming had knocked out the right commander. They were already terrified, but when they saw Dou Lian take out the royal decree, the power emanating from it was genuine. So they immediately followed Dou Lian and formed a defensive formation to protect the city.

All soldiers obeyed Dou Lian's command.

Quan Mingyu drove a covered car.

Travel by water.

The Daoist image, tens of meters tall, instantly appeared behind him, and the Xuan Bird Seal in his hand transformed into a bronze mural under the gaze of the powerful people. The mural depicted the origins of the powerful people and their core bloodline inheritance...

Ah!

The powerful people, who were already fearless in the face of death, were even more excited upon seeing this mural, and their shouts continued.

"You mediocre ruler, today you have invaded my territory, so you shall first destroy me."

The waters of power surged and rippled, transforming into a continuous stream that encircled the Daoist figure. Within these streams, wisps of black mist emerged, transforming into armored soldiers of Yin Corpse. These soldiers wielded armor, their bodies adorned with golden patterns representing the power and fortune of those in power, radiating an aura of Daoist power…

Each and every one of them is extraordinary.

There was a restriction, and with the golden patterns and the shouts of the powerful people below, his aura became stronger and stronger.

Both the living and the dead are here!

In addition, the murals were passed down from the rightful owner!

The Dao Heaven hidden within the murals!

And Quan Ming, who controls two hundred miles of Quanshui, is the leader of this ancestral god!

now……

Quan Ming stood here, his divine power reaching its peak...

The powerful returned to Chu, and the Dao Heaven was promoted!

Art is created through the mind, and decrees are issued by the gods!

"Ghost soldiers, heed my command!"

boom……

The power of the dead souls within the Quan Shui erupted once more. A headless corpse, wielding the Quan Ren sacrificial weapon, the Long Spear, and the broken horn of the Tu Bo, emerged from the water, leading over ten thousand Yin Corpse Armored Soldiers, who obeyed Quan Ming's commands.

Quan Ming's eyes narrowed, and he calmed down to unleash his ability to advance to the second level of Dao Heaven comprehension.

—Immortal Decree—

"He died while defending human rights."

"Even in death, they will remain heroic spirits, fighting for the protectors of justice!"

"I, with the power to command the souls of the dead, command you to return!"

"I, in the divine form of our ancestral ancestors, command your souls to return!"

"O soul! Return!"

The severed horn in the headless corpse's hand flew out and fell into the hand of Quan Mingdao, transforming into a huge horn, which was held high by the closed-eyed Daoist.

"Waaaaah..."

The bugle sounded on its own, emitting a mournful cry!

In an instant, the whole world was in turmoil, the wind and clouds changed, day and night were reversed, and darkness shrouded the area within several miles of the pass!

The powerful figures below, moved by the sentiment, all shouted in unison with Quan Ming, "Return, soul!"

The Dao opens!

Amidst the grand and imposing 'mourning ceremony,' Dao Tian looked down upon Tai Yi, whose gaze was ruthless as he stared at Quan Ming, then gazed towards...

Power flows backward!

Waves surged and faint lights rose.

This world is a realm of its own.

……

The mediocre ruler opposite him already had a furrowed brow.

In fact, when Quan Ming appeared, he scoffed that this second-level Dao Heaven Immortal dared to be the vanguard. Only the 20,000 Quan people were worth watching, but most of them were old women and women. How many of them were young and strong?

In the face of his massive army, it would only take a little more effort to kill them!

But when Quan Ming unleashed his divine power, he felt a sense of unease. Moreover, after the appearance of tens of thousands of Yin Corpse Armored Soldiers, who carried the Daoist aura and the power of the Quan family, wore armor, and held long spears, he already had the intention to retreat!

He had to admit that these 10,000 armored soldiers and corpse soldiers were no match for his own troops.

Even with a mediocre monarch like him and a celestial commander at the fourth level of the Dao Realm, they could probably only manage a draw.

And now, what's with this "O soul, return?"

This is the Dao of Chu!

The witchcraft is fierce, and the mountains and rivers are imbued with spirits, thus they reverse life and death, summoning souls to the world!

"...Fight...Fight!"

Just as the mediocre ruler was pulling his restless mount, preparing to retreat...

Within the reversed flow of the power-wielding water, eerie light rose, transforming into the souls of deceased power holders, which plunged into the corpses and merged with them.

"Damn it..."

"How dare you, Quan Xian'er!"

Beyond the Quanshui River, within the Daotian Heaven, the roar of the Earth Lord echoed!

What can I do if I'm angry?

Now that the State of Chu has granted permission, what can Tu Bo do?

Helpless!

The souls of the Quan people who were offered as a gift by the Branch Immortal and devoured by the Earth Lord are now in the "Return of the Souls" ritual. With the help of the power of the Chu Earth Dao Heaven, they are separated from the Earth Lord's body, flow upstream along the Quan River, return to their corpses, and transform into heroic spirits... On the surface, they are fighting for Chu, but in reality, they are fighting for Quan Ming and the Quan people...!

war!

The spirits of over ten thousand armored soldiers appeared in the world, like minor Taoist figures, emerging behind their own corpses. Together with their bodies, led by the headless corpses, they charged towards the army of the Yong Kingdom!

These are no ordinary heroic spirits.

Having passed through the body of the Earth God, they all possess a trace of the Earth God's Daoist essence. Now that they have been separated and incorporated into the Quan Shui, if Quan Ming is willing, they will become another elite force of ten thousand men under Quan Ming's command!

Bang!Bang!Bang!

The overwhelming power of heaven and earth, under the charge of the 20,000 Quan Ming soldiers, crushed the army of Xiang Yong.

The mediocre ruler cried out in alarm, gripped the reins tightly, and hurriedly fled with his mount.

"Quickly...stop them!"

"Quickly, Mountain God of Yongshan, do you wish to die? Strike at once!"
