Chapter 910: Mortals in the Heavenly World
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
After the five ancient gods entered the guest hall for negotiation, the twelve holy daughters went to every corner of the Music Clan’s residence to watch over it.
After a moment, the five ancient gods returned to the divine palace. A formidable ancient goddess’ presence soared into the sky from the guest hall, and upon sensing it, the twelve holy daughters began to smile and returned.
Li Yunmu was walking slowly through the narrow path leading to the territory of Asura City with hands clasped behind his back and a satisfied expression. Every time he passed by a village, he would walk inside. Not long after he came in, the originally lively village would disappear, only leaving behind an enormous hole.
Beginning from just outside Lakshmi City, there were countless holes by the path.
“We have to use this time to collect people. You see, the five ancient gods will definitely descend to Lakshmi City and immediately start the battle between gods. If I don’t collect the mortals, they will be turned into cannon fodder. Even if they survive that though, they will remain as puppets used for gathering power of belief for the gods,” Li Yunmu said.
When the system heard his words, it sneered and said, [Even if you save these mortals, they won’t be of any use without at least ten thousand years of development. When I created the Origin World, I created the rules in favor of the gods. Without godhood being bestowed, how can mortals become gods.
[Or do you want to use power of belief to make the mortals break through to god realm?]
Li Yunmu snorted disdainfully and sneered upon hearing such a suggestion. Yin son of heaven had said that power of belief was introduced into the Origin World by beyond the heavens to cause internal strife. If mortals used power of belief to become gods, then even if a master god was created, wouldn’t it just create another era of gods?
The creation of one failed product was enough. There was no need for another.
“Your initial direction was wrong, creating even more gods is useless. You allowed gods to be born with great advantages, like the god level cultivation and eternal life. This was tantamount to putting a limitation on their potential,which forced them to remain stuck at the same place. Mortals are different. They possess endless possibilities,” Li Yunmu blurted out.
From the time they were born, mortals were ordinary people and slowly experimented with different things to become more formidable. But even after becoming powerful, they still wanted to become even more powerful.
The system was silent for a moment, then it said in a helpless tone, [Unfortunately the time is too short. The Origin World has been sealed for very long, and its strength is much inferior compared to before. Beyond the heavens have been developing for many years, and their strength far surpsses that of the past.
“You can see it yourself as well. Yin Emperor who only had a cultivation of master god that year now has the strength of quasi true god. And back then, there were ten people as powerful as Yin Emperor.]
Ten quasi true gods?
Li Yunmu didn’t reply, but he was sure that just the monarch emperors were enough to overturn the entire Origin World. But there was also a True God level existence in beyond the heavens.
Encountering yin son of heaven allowed Li Yunmu to understand just how formidable was the hidden danger that the system talked about. Sense of worry gripped his heart like it hadn’t done for a long time, and he couldn’t get rid of it. The crisis in the past couldn’t compare to what was about to happen now. The enemy was so formidable that he was close to a panic.
If the Origin World was defeated by beyond the heavens, then all the lifeforms in the Origin World would have the same fate as the palace maids. T hey would be turned into dispensable servants or even cultivation tools.
That would be an extremely miserable fate.
Li Yunmu would never allow such a thing to happen.
“If there’s any hope, then I will try it; otherwise, who knows what the outcome will be,” he said.
The system didn’t reply and just disappeared in his mind. Li Yunmu kept walking by the path, putting every village he passed through into his heavenly world. In a short time, several large tribes as well as ten small scale villages appeared in the originally completely empty heavenly world. One after another, villagers walked out and looked at everything in the heavenly world. They found it new and odd.
There were some people from neighboring villages who were acquainted, and when they ran into each other, they began to chat. After awhile, the mortals began to tour the heavenly world. They first encountered an Asura clansman who was cultivating with his eyes closed. After the group observed him for a long time, they continued forward.
After walking for some more time, they encountered a group of palace maids. When the mortals met the palace maids, they began to talk spiritedly with them. The palace maids, which were originally startled to see other beings, quickly sobered up and sized up the mortals.
“Are you all mortals?” one of them probed.
The villagers nodded, and the expressions of the palace maids crumbled. They began to wail loudly.
After a while, one palace maid joined the group of mortals and said, “I am also a mortal, but I had come to believe that we will never see another mortal in this lifetime.”
A few women walked out of the group of mortals and consoled the palace maids. They continued forward together after that, but when they covered a hundred meters, the palace maids stopped.
“You shouldn’t go further,” one of them said anxiously. “It is very dangerous ahead. There is a group of gods imprisoned in a box, and they are extremely dreadful.”
The palace maids recalled the rude words of the imprisoned gods when they stood in front of the box. The gods who only existed in soul form brought a feeling that everything was finished in their hearts, and they began to tremble.
A few women walked to the front. They embraced the palace maids and then consoled them, “You don’t need to be afraid. We are so many people, so why should we fear those gods imprisoned in the box. Moreover, even if they are gods, they should be badly injured.
The group led the palace maids in front of the box. There were fifteen balls of light floating in the transparent cage, and they saw the group of mortals cautiously walking over. Instantly, faintly discernible voices of gods came from inside the box.
“I hadn’t thought that we would see mortals here. You mortals, how can you see a god and not kneel? Aren’t you afraid that you all will be killed?”
“Look at the fiendish appearances of these mortals! They should be killed.”
“If it wasn’t for being trapped in this cage, these mortals would’ve died by now.”
The fifteen balls of light kept shouting arrogantly and even revealed a faint divine presence, which they threw toward the mortals.
The group calmly looked at the light balls and didn’t feel uncomfortable because of the divine presence released by the fifteen gods. However, the seven or eight palace maids were clearly intimidated and began to shudder.
“Don’t need to be afraid, look at us.”
After those words were said, one after another, mortals picked up small rocks from the ground and threw them at the box. Just as they were about to collide with the box, they suddenly penetrated through it, and the god hit released a blood curdling scream.
When the palace maids saw that even the smallest rocks were effective, they found it very mystical, but they also picked up a few and threw them at the gods.
