The First Master

Chapter 1668: The First Heavenly Master

This time Meng Yungui came to escort the baggage, and he led a small number of soldiers and horses, most of whom were from his own camp, called Yuhua Camp. He was a human god from Yuhuatian, and there were many human gods who defected to him over the years, most of whom were from Yuhuatian.

He was good at commanding the army, and most of his men were loyal to him, but the Heavenly Court also placed a number of demigods into his Yuhua Camp to monitor his actions.

After all, he is a human, and the Heavenly Court is still not so confident about him.

He also has other military forces in Heaven, such as the Ten Guards of Heaven, but those troops only obey the orders of the Emperor of Heaven, and he has no power to mobilize them.

Just when Meng Yungui was about to kill Yan Yizi, there was also a big purge in the Yuhua Camp. When Meng Yungui killed the gods and demons under Yan Yizi's command, many soldiers of the Yuhua Camp came in boats covered in blood, and the surface of the Tianhe tributary was already blood red.

Meng Yungui held a sword and stood among the many corpses in the Nantian Palace, looking at the soldiers under his command. The slave ships were docked on the river bank, and there was blood on the armor of the human gods on the ships.

The atmosphere became depressing.

"Do you regret it?"

There was no longer the confidence in Meng Yungui's voice as before. This rebellion was more like a sudden impulse decision, not a complete plan. For a Heavenly Master like him, being controlled by emotions would definitely be a failure.

He knew deep down that this rebellion would never succeed!

I'm afraid all the human soldiers who have followed him for so many years will die!

"You may not succeed in your rebellion with me. You will not be honored or glorious. You may just lose battles and see your comrades die."

Meng Yungui looked at his subordinates, his eyes swept across the familiar faces, and said in a deep voice: "I brought you out of Yuhuatian back then. Maybe, I can't bring you back alive. Maybe you will return with only corpses, or maybe not even corpses. If we lose, the history recorded in the Heavenly Court will only have our stigma."

"If we die, there will be no tombstone. Our lifelong practice may only result in a corpse like a dead dog on the battlefield, and after death we will be cursed by others: Look! This is a traitor!"

"Will you still follow me?" he asked loudly.

On the slave ships, the soldiers of the Yuhua Camp were silent. Suddenly, one of the soldiers pushed away his helmet, revealing a resolute face.

"Master, you brought me out from Yuhuatian."

The middle-aged god's voice was not loud, but it was shocking: "I only know that before I met the Heavenly Master, I lived worse than a dog. When natural disasters broke out, there were starving people everywhere. I followed the villagers to the city to beg, and I don't know how many people starved to death along the way. I came to the city alive, and I was dizzy with hunger. I looked for food thrown away by the demigods in their mansions! I dug out the human bones they left over. I was starving and wanted to eat, but you pulled me out of the stinky ditch. You told me that we must have backbone and not eat people. We humans must live a good life and be upright! You said that humans are not destined to be slaves or food for the gods from birth. You said you want to make humans live a better life! From that time on, I followed you!"

Another god pushed open his helmet, revealing a long scar on his face, like a centipede mark left by a whip. He said in a hoarse voice, "I was also a part of that natural disaster, and I have followed you since then. At that time, you were still a god, and you were full of vigor and vitality, giving us, the starving people, hope."

“I was that person too.”

Another god-man pushed aside his helmet and said, "We have followed you through life and death. Many of our companions have died, but we are the ones who survived."

"And me!"

"Me too!"

"I'm not, my father is. Before he died, my father told me to follow the Heavenly Master and never leave him!"

…

There are also many gods and men who did not follow Meng Yungui during the Yuhuatian disaster period, but they have come to this day relying on their ideals and trust in Meng Yungui.

"You taught us reason and righteousness, and told us that when we are right, we should never look back!"

An old general smiled and said, "Now, it is the truth, so we have no hesitation! We..."

He knelt on one knee on the deck and said in a loud voice: "I will follow the Heavenly Master until death!"

On the slave ships, the soldiers of the Yuhua Camp knelt on one knee in unison, and their voices echoed back and forth on the tributaries of the Tianhe River: "We swear to follow the Heavenly Master until death!"

Meng Yungui's blood boiled, he raised his sword and pointed it at the Heaven, laughing: "If you don't let me down, I will never let you down! Please stand up, follow me in rebellion today, and rebel against the Heaven!"

There is a turbulent storm in the Tianhe River.

The strong wind blew up the huge waves, hitting the slave ships. The slaves on the ships were trembling with fear. On the deck, the human gods were full of enthusiasm. Under Meng Yungui's dispatch, they quickly rushed to other heavens in the South Sky to wipe out the influence of Heaven here.

They must block the news and not let any of the Heavenly Court's forces in the South Sky inform the Heavenly Court.

This rebellion was a spur-of-the-moment idea. They were not prepared for it, and neither was Heaven. As long as the news was cut off, they could delay the time as much as possible and make adequate preparations.

Although they all knew that even if they were fully prepared, it would still be a dead end.

Meng Yungui ordered his men to rush to Yuhuatian immediately to relocate the relatives and friends of the soldiers. He also ordered people to go secretly to Heaven, where their families were also there. They had to relocate their relatives and friends before they were exposed, otherwise the consequences would be disastrous.

"Wang Qing, you can go to Yankang right away."

Meng Yungui hesitated for a moment, but still handed the letter to his most respected disciple and said, "You take this letter to the Emperor of Yankang!"

Wang Qing hesitated and said, "Master, Yankang is the target that the Heavenly Court wants to eliminate. This time, the Heavenly Court army is coming for Yankang. Yankang does not have any extra troops to help us. Moreover, when we attacked Taixu Land, Master personally led the army to fight against Wuyou Township and killed countless masters of Wuyou Township. I heard that Emperor Yanfeng was a general in Wuyou Township at that time and suffered a defeat under Master. Wuyou Township and Yankang are one..."

Meng Yungui waved his hand and said, "Emperor Yanfeng has the bearing of a Heavenly Emperor, even better than Emperor Haotian. He won't blame you. You go quickly!"

Wang Qing took the order and quickly headed for the Yuan Realm.

Meng Yungui also ordered the migration of all human beings in the various heavens in the southern sky, asking them to stay away from the Tianhe area, transport food and supplies, build fortifications and clear the fields, and prepare for a decisive battle.

His soldiers were as good as their own arms, and they could carry out their orders quickly. In addition, the people in the southern sky were domesticated like animals, and they never resisted the orders of the gods, but obeyed them, which made it easier for them to migrate.

Meng Yungui personally led other soldiers to completely demolish the Heavenly Palace of Fire Lord and built a strong pass on a tributary of the Milky Way. Even so, he still looked worried.

"I can't stop it, I can't stop it... I can only fight to the death, but I still can't stop it!"

After several months, the Heavenly Army was getting closer and closer to the Metaverse, but the baggage still did not arrive.

The Heavenly Court repeatedly issued decrees, ordering gods and men to go to the South Heaven to urge the matter, but these messengers were never heard from again after arriving in the South Heaven.

The Heavenly Court looted a few more gods and captured slaves and supplies, but they also knew that something might go wrong in the South Heaven.

Emperor Haotian issued an edict, ordering the First Heavenly Master Shang Pingyin to lead the two Shenwu Guards among the Ten Guards of Heaven, with an army of 100,000 men, to the South Heaven to investigate the situation.

The Second Shenwu Guards are strong and powerful, and the lowest among them is at the Yujing realm. Combined with the formation diagram of the Heavenly Court, the Second Shenwu Guards can resist the existence of the Tianzun level. Add in Shang Pingyin, the first Tianshi, and it can be seen that Emperor Haotian attaches great importance to Nantian.

Nantian, the granary of heaven, must not be lost!

Shang Pingyin led the army and did not follow the tributary directly into Nantian. Instead, he set up camp first and ordered his men to come to the Nantian Pass. He shouted, "Master Meng, the Emperor of Heaven has ordered you to come out and speak!"

Meng Yungui arrived at the top of the city wall and looked at Shang Pingyin from a distance.

The two Heavenly Masters looked at each other, and Shang Pingyin decisively issued an order: "Meng Yungui has rebelled, attack the city immediately!"

Zuo Shenwu Commander frowned and said in a deep voice: "How did Shang Tianshi know that Meng Yungui had rebelled? Meng Yungui is the second heavenly master. If he had not rebelled, I am afraid that Shang Tianshi would not be able to explain to His Majesty."

Shang Pingyin sneered, "Meng Yungui and I are both Heavenly Masters. I can tell at a glance whether he will rebel or not. There is no point in saying more. Attack the city immediately!"

The left and right divine and martial commanders immediately gave orders, mobilizing the two armies to form a battle formation and crush towards the Nantianxiong Pass!

On the tower, Meng Yungui said loudly: "Master Shang, you and I are both Heavenly Masters. You have always been ranked first until you were defeated by Yue Tingge. Yue Tingge fell into Taixu, and you became the first master again. But you know that your wisdom is not as good as mine, and the first master of Heaven is actually me, so you abuse your power for personal gain, planted a name of rebellion on me, and led the army to kill me! You are jealous of talents, so I am Your Majesty's cousin, please make the decision!"

The Shenwu armies on both sides hesitated.

Shang Pingyin sneered, "The Meng thief is just stalling for time. I have your majesty's military token in my hand, and I will attack immediately with my left and right divine warriors!"

He showed his military token, and when the armies on both sides saw it, they immediately mobilized their troops to attack the city as if Emperor Haotian himself had arrived.

Shang Pingyin's clothes fluttered as he looked at Meng Yungui on the tower and said in a deep voice, "Meng Yungui, you think you are very smart, but the greatest wisdom in the world is the general trend. In front of my general trend, all your wisdom is completely useless! Make good use of the general trend, this is the first heavenly master!"

Meng Yungui flicked his sleeves, the city gates opened wide, and the gods and demons from the Yuhua Camp in the city rushed out, sneering: "I want to see if your might can match my wisdom! Form a battle array!"

Although the number of gods and demons in the Yuhua Camp is no less than that of the Two Shenwu Guards, their cultivation strength is far inferior.

The formation diagram of the two divine guards of the Heavenly Court is a complete large formation diagram. Each formation diagram can accommodate 50,000 gods and demons. The spirits, energy and vitality of the 50,000 gods and demons are integrated into one, and their vitality is connected as one. Therefore, the formation method has great magical powers!

The formation diagrams of the Ten Guards of Heaven were carefully polished by successive Heavenly Masters. The power of the formation diagrams has long been enhanced to the extreme. It can be said to be the crystallization of the wisdom of successive Heavenly Masters.

When Wuyouxiang broke out of Taixu, Langhui led the Creator to resist the pursuers from Heaven. The Ten Guards of Heaven raised the formation diagram and killed Langhui and Wuyouxiang, which shows the power of the formation diagram.

The formation diagram of the Yuhua Camp is not a complete large formation diagram, but a small formation diagram, with ten people in a group, and there are as many as ten thousand formation diagrams in total.

Thousands of formations were intertwined, and the gods and demons of the Yuhua Camp were flying around, and soon they formed the first formation. This formation alternated between inside and outside, and the changes were unpredictable.

Shang Pingyin sneered when he saw this: “The Glazed Blue Sky Formation! I passed this formation on to you!”

The two armies collided, and the power of the formation suddenly exploded!

The formations of the Heavenly Army and the Yuhua Camp changed immediately, different formations were linked together, and blood and flesh were flying in the formation!

On the other side, Wang Qing, the envoy of Meng Yungui, came to Yankang and met Emperor Yanfeng. He presented the letter. Emperor Yanfeng unfolded the letter and read it. After a moment's silence, he said, "Set up an altar, invite Long Pi to come, and bring the Glazed Blue Sky Banner with Prince Youming to the South Heaven."
