100,000 Years of Despair

Chapter 1063: One Hundred Thousand Years of Despair

Ling Tianzun stood there quietly, and after a moment he seemed to come back to his senses.

Suddenly, this unkempt girl rushed over with a cheer, snatched the hairpin from Qin Mu's hand, kicked Qin Mu to the ground, and beat him ferociously with punches and kicks.

The group of thugs riding on bamboo poles also rushed forward and started beating Qin Mu with the poles, making crackling and banging sounds.

Yue Tianzun, Yan'er and others were dumbfounded, but Long Qilin squinted his eyes, dozed off on the ground, and ignored everything.

"Steal my hairpin! I'll let you steal my hairpin!"

Ling Tianzun beat him and shouted, "I let you sneak away! I let you sneak back again! Do you know how hard it was for me to wait?"

Qin Mu curled up on the ground holding his head, begging for mercy.

Ling Tianzun was still not satisfied, and continued to punch and kick, angrily saying: "Do you know how hard I have been in these years? After you left, everyone said I was wrong, but I was the only one who knew I was right, because you are the proof!"

As she spoke and beat Qin Mu, her eyes turned red and she continued to beat him while crying.

"Everyone says I'm crazy. Even Yun and Yue, they all think I'm wrong and that I'll never succeed!"

"How I wish you were by my side, and could just tell me that you are right!"

"You just ran away, you just disappeared!"

"I'll beat you to death!"

…

She threw herself on Qin Mu and burst into tears, like a girl who had been wronged for a long time. However, she still held the peach wood hairpin tightly in one hand, and grabbed Qin Mu's collar with the other hand, fearing that he would disappear again.

Others may not be able to understand this feeling, but Qin Mu deeply understands the loneliness brought about by frustration and the misunderstanding of the world.

At this time, just a word from a fellow Taoist saying "you are right" can make him (her) muster up the courage again and continue to move forward through all obstacles.

Qin Mu encountered it, and Ling Tianzun also encountered it.

Qin Mu has Long Qilin, even if Long Qilin does not understand him, he will at least encourage him.

Ling Tianzun had nothing.

Yue Tianzun helped her up, and Ling Tianzun threw himself on her shoulder and cried, while his other hand was still pinching the corner of Qin Mu's clothes.

Qin Mu patted the footprints on his body and said with a smile: "If you don't succeed, how can I come back?"

"I know I will succeed!" Ling Tianzun said stubbornly.

Qin Mu laughed loudly, then said seriously, "You are right."

"I know!"

After a long time, Ling Tianzun calmed down, threw Qin Mu aside, and looked at the peach wood hairpin over and over again. Yue Tianzun took Qin Mu to a clean place to drink tea. It was not easy to find a clean place in Ling Tianzun's yard.

However, the ponies riding on bamboo poles continued to hit Qin Mu's legs and feet. Qin Mu waved his hands to drive them away several times but failed, so he had to give up.

Yan'er was busy with the men transformed from the six heavenly dragons, helping Ling Tianzun clean the room and courtyard, and tidying up the papers with her calculations.

"Yan'er, this book is organized incorrectly." Long Qilin glanced at it and said.

“Wrong?” The ponies became alert and abandoned Qin Mu, rushing towards Long Qilin and beating him violently. Long Qilin continued to sleep, motionless.

Yue Tianzun looked at Qin Mu for a while, then looked at Ling Tianzun who was holding a hairpin and giggling, blinked his eyes, and asked tentatively: "Mu, are you really from the future?"

Qin Mu took a sip of tea, nodded towards Yan'er, and said with a smile: "In the future, you will take in this girl and name her Yan'er. Her mother gave birth to her and personally sent her to you. She will feed you until you are plump and white."

Yue Tianzun looked at Yan'er again and chuckled, "Nonsense, there is no way I can be fattened by her! Could it be that I will give her to you in the future?"

Qin Mu smiled slightly, put down the teacup, and asked, "Did Yun Tianzun go to the Heavenly Court to file a complaint?"

Yue Tianzun nodded, his eyes dim, and said: "Not long after you disappeared, Hao Tianzun followed the order of the Ancient God Emperor to establish the demigod heaven, called Longxiao Heaven, to command the demigods of the world. The demigods rose, especially in places like the Yuanjie, where the power of the demigods grew larger and stronger. The conflicts between the human race and the demigods also increased, but the human race was still weak after all. Although it joined forces with other acquired races, it was still oppressed by the demigods. It has been difficult to come here over the years."

Qin Mu looked at her face. The once weak Yue Tianzun had become much more resolute at this moment.

"We have united with the acquired races and fought countless battles with the demigods, with few wins and many losses."

Yue Tianzun smiled bitterly, fiddling with the teacup on the table with his fingertips. "It sounds like a fight between demigods and acquired races for territory and interests, but in fact it's more like a division of spoils. But it's not us who are sharing the spoils, but the ancient gods. The reason why we have more defeats than victories is because we are reluctant to sacrifice to the ancient gods, right?"

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly.

Yue Tianzun continued, "Whenever we fight with demigods, the gods and men from all sides form an army of gods and demons and hold blood sacrifices to worship the ancient gods and ask them to descend to the mortal world and help us fight. Mu, you are from the future. In that era, people used living beings as sacrifices in wars. Did they ask the ancient gods to descend to the mortal world?"

Qin Mu shook his head.

"Guess what we are offering as sacrifice to the greedy ancient god?" Yue Tianzun asked.

Qin Mu shook his head and said in a hoarse voice: "I don't want to guess."

“When people are in desperate situations, they can do anything.”

Yue Tianzun picked up the teacup and drank it all in one gulp. However, it was like strong liquor burning his throat. He couldn't help coughing. After a while, he recovered and put down the teacup and sighed, "It's a pity that it's not wine. Back then, when the human race was at its wit's end and was attacked by the demigods to the Xiaohan Heavenly Palace and the Yujing City, we still offered sacrifices to the ancient gods."

She said in a hoarse voice: "We, the gods who guard the Xiaohan Heavenly Court, sacrificed ourselves to the high and mighty ancient gods, treating ourselves as livestock and food for the ancient gods. Then the ancient gods descended, but Hao Tianzun also sacrificed ancient gods, attracting a group of ancient gods to descend. Guess what the result of this war is?"

Without waiting for Qin Mu to answer, she laughed out loud: "There are ancient gods on both sides, and both sides are blood-thirsty, with deep hatred and irreconcilable hatred! When everyone thought this was an unimaginable bloody battle, the ancient gods of both sides actually negotiated and acted as peacemakers!"

She showed a strong sarcasm, gritted her teeth, and burst out words from her teeth: "The two groups of ancient gods talked in a friendly manner and actually made a peace agreement, asking us to put aside our hatred and let the demigods who were about to occupy the Xiaohan Heavenly Palace retreat! Those demigods couldn't bear it, so they made a lot of noise, and then they were eaten by the ancient gods, and then they retreated quietly. It was not until then that we knew..."

The sarcasm on her face became even stronger. "It turns out that we are all food, all livestock. The entire metaverse is a huge breeding farm! Mu, this is a breeding farm! We are just livestock raised by the ancient gods! In the past, they ate us directly, but now they are civilized and make us fight each other, forcing us to sacrifice ourselves for them to eat!"

She seemed to be really drunk from drinking tea, and she lay on the table and cried out: "What a shitty Tianzun, what a shitty Shenhuang, what a shitty Yuntiandi and Haotiandi, they are all a bunch of head sheep and hunting dogs! We are the head sheep and hunting dogs herding for the ancient gods! Shepherd, we have had a hard time these years..."

Qin Mu placed his hand on her shoulder and said softly, "I know everything. But I also know that in the future, the era of the ancient gods will end in your hands, and they will never dare to do this again."

"Really?" Yue Tianzun raised his head and looked at him with tearful eyes.

Qin Mu nodded.

Yue Tianzun perked up, smoothed his messy temples, and said with a forced smile: "This tea is too intoxicating. I lost my composure. Please don't be offended."

Qin Mu smiled gently: "Without you, there would be no us in the future."

Yue Tianzun seemed to be greatly comforted and encouraged, and continued: "Yun Tianzun has become an emperor, the first person to cultivate the throne, but the ancient gods' rule over the Yuanjie and the heavens and myriad worlds is still deeply rooted. Hao Tianzun's aptitude is against the sky, and he is about to cultivate the throne. This time Yun Tianzun went to Longhan Heavenly Court, in addition to complaining that the demigods bullied us, he also wanted to meet Huo Tianzun."

Qin Mu's heart moved slightly.

Yue Tianzun looked at his face and said, "He wants to establish a connection with Hao Tianzun through Huo Tianzun. Do you know what he wants to do?"

The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched, and he nodded gently, and said in a hoarse voice: "Invite Huo Tianzun Hao Tianzun and even Langxuan Shenhuang Zu Shenwang to join the Tianmeng, and overthrow the rule of the ancient gods together."

Yue Tianzun nodded, raised his hand and smoothed his temples: "Are we doing it right?"

The corners of Qin Mu's eyes twitched again. He really wanted to tell her that if he did this, Yun Tianzun would die in the future. He really wanted to tell her that the Tianmeng would no longer be the same and would fall into the hands of the demigod.

He wanted to tell her that it was because of the decision made by Yun Tianzun and Yue Tianzun today that the Heavenly Alliance replaced the ancient gods and became the terrible ruler!

He just opened his mouth but no words came out.

He couldn't tell them.

No matter how terrifying the Heavenly Alliance of later generations is, it is not as terrifying as the ancient gods today. Now, joining forces with Lord Haotian and others is the best choice for the human race.

If this alliance is broken, the era of ancient gods will continue, and this metaverse and all the worlds will still be a huge breeding farm!

A fellow Taoist is someone who stands by your side and tells you that you are doing the right thing.

However, Qin Mu found that this sentence was so difficult to say.

"You did the right thing." He said calmly.

Yue Tianzun smiled and said, "You are from the future. If you think we are doing the right thing, then it seems that we will succeed in the future. Thank you, Mu."

She stood up and said with a smile, "The yard has been cleaned. Yan'er, come here, hold your lantern and follow your master for a walk."

Yan'er appeared in front of her like a whirlwind, looking at her with sparkling eyes: "Call me sister!"

Yue Tianzun grabbed her ears and asked fiercely, "What are you calling me?"

Yan'er finally behaved herself and woke up Long Qilin with a lantern. Long Qilin was still being beaten by the ponies. He yawned, stood up, shook his body, and shook the ponies off.

"Master, where are we going?" he asked curiously, with a group of ponies chasing and beating him.

Qin Mu looked at Yue Tianzun, who smiled and said, "Something has happened on the border of the human race recently. Some demigods have sneaked into the human race, seemingly looking for something. I didn't go to the Heavenly Palace with Yun Tianzun because I wanted to see what these demigods were looking for. It's a rare opportunity for Mu to come here today, so let's go and see what they are up to!"

Qin Mu hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Well, this time I'll wait for Yun Tianzun to come back and talk to him before leaving. Use my car, it's fast."

"Sister Ling, do you want to go together?" Qin Mu asked.

Ling Tianzun rushed over and stuffed the hairpin into Qin Mu's hand: "Of course we'll go together! Wait a minute!"

She suddenly remembered something and called Yue Tianzun, whispering, "I haven't been out for many years, and I feel a little timid. Please help me wash and dress up."

Yue Tianzun didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Sister, do you still know that you are a woman?"

"Don't joke around. If I go out and embarrass myself, I'll also embarrass you."

The two girls went to dress up, but Ling Tianzun did not have any spare clothes, so Yue Tianzun went to his own palace to get some clothes and accessories. Ling Tianzun was very uncomfortable in the clothes, but he still went out.

Qin Mu's eyes lit up and he smiled, "Sister Ling and Sister Yue are so beautiful."

Yue Tianzun's face turned slightly red, but Ling Tianzun complained that the clothes he was wearing were not comfortable. The skirt was too long and the sleeves were too long, which got in the way.

They boarded the Heavenly Dragon Chariot and drove to the border of the human territory. Yue Tianzun opened the window and looked down, saying, "Recently, the demigods have been elusive and always come here, as if they are searching for someone. I have sent people to investigate, and there should be news soon."

They came to a small town on the border and landed. There were mostly mortals in the town, and few people with supernatural powers.

The Xiaohan Heavenly Palace is very prosperous, but the human race in the Yuan Realm is still in poverty. However, it is much better than in the early years of Longhan and can barely make a living.

Demigods can still be seen at the border of the human race. When Qin Mu and his companions landed, they saw that the sky suddenly darkened. Qin Mu looked up and saw a huge bird with its cyan-gold wings spread flying from a distance, blocking the setting sun.

The bird cried sadly as it flew: "Dahong, Dahong——"

"There's going to be a flood!" People in the town panicked and fled in all directions.

The huge bird landed and landed not far from the town, squatting there as if a huge mountain had suddenly appeared. On the bird's back was the palace of the gods. On a pillar outside the palace was a man tied to a pillar with his chest exposed and a large spear stuck in his chest, and he was dying.

Yue Tianzun was about to step forward to ask, but Qin Mu raised his hand to stop her, shook his head, and said, "I know the people in the palace, and the man on the pillar is not a good person either, let them go."

A woman walked out of the palace, holding a long whip and whipped the man who was tied to the pillar. The man was beaten all over.

The woman beat the man for a while, but still not satisfied, so she took out a sharp cow-ear knife and cut the flesh on the man's chest, then pinched the man's mouth open and forced him to eat her flesh.

"I've heard of them!"

Yue Tianzun was surprised and said, "I've heard that there is such a weird pair in the Yuan Realm. The girl comes out every day to beat the boy and torture him in every way. Today I finally saw them."

At this time, the god who went to get the news came back, greeted Yue Tianzun and Ling Tianzun, and said: "My disciple got the news that those demigods are looking for a person named Ah Chou."
