Chapter 873 The Gods Are Also Gloomy

You Shiwu violated the ban of the Netherworld Guide. As a Netherworld Immortal, he left the area under his jurisdiction without permission and would definitely be punished afterwards.

The underworld immortals cannot compare to the gods in heaven. After all, they are ghosts that have become immortals. They are controlled by the underworld, and the underworld is controlled by heaven. They do not have the right to move freely like the gods of mountains and rivers on earth.

Of course, Li Yuan's behavior of "going out to work" was also a negative example. Generally speaking, even if the gods of mountains and rivers have this power, they are not allowed to leave their jurisdiction for a long time, otherwise it is very easy to cause chaos or be invaded by demons.

But it was precisely because of this that Anshan Yuanzun was created.

On the way to Anshan, You Shiwu was interrogated a lot, some by his fellow Hades Immortals and some by mountain and river gods.

However, the moment they saw the soul, they all retreated silently and bowed to see it off respectfully.

Anshan Li Yuan, the former troublemaker among the immortals, had long been the number one immortal on earth who ruled over all the gods of mountains and rivers. Even the seal of the Lord of Ten Thousand Mountains was in his hands.

And this first immortal in the world, the Lord of All Sources, also proved with his actions and life that he deserves the respect of all living beings.

There were so many sufferings in the catastrophe that even the supreme gods could not take care of the overall situation. However, Li Yuan called on the entire human world to work together and forcibly opened up a glimmer of hope for the catastrophe. In order to protect all living beings, he fought bloody battles one after another, and countless relatives and friends died. In the end, he even plunged himself into the catastrophe. How amazing and regrettable.

How many lives that should have died in the trajectory of fate were able to survive? This earth-shaking cause and effect was all borne by Yuan Zun alone.

People didn't even know anything about it, they just felt that this damn catastrophe was finally over, like the sky clearing up after the rain, and they could see the light again!

Only You Shiwu understood that this catastrophe was not so much ended as it was ended prematurely by Anshan, using the blood of countless relatives, friends and children, and Li Yuan's life!

You Shiwu didn't dare to imagine, and couldn't imagine, how powerful that Source Master was.

But it knew at this moment that the Source Lord, who seemed to rule the world and had infinite glory, was like a flash in the pan and then perished. Deep down in his heart, he was also like an ordinary creature, longing to return to his roots and go back to his hometown. That was all.

The gods along the way saw him off respectfully and the immortals bowed to him. The broken mountains and rivers and the distant new sea were all proof of the conquests of this Source Master in the past.

Corpses were scattered all over the ground and the earth was stained with blood, but in the end most of the lives were saved. This is an unprecedented achievement and a virtue that will last for generations.

Many surviving gods of mountains and rivers, and immortals from all over the underworld, could not bear to see Li Yuan's soul go away alone, so they saw him off with tears in their eyes, and followed the confused soul, step by step, like disciples who admired the truth, putting aside all their pride and prejudice.

From being despised by the immortals to being respected by all the gods, the little mountain god Li Yuan never cared about these things on his way forward. But he eventually opened up a brand new path, telling those immortals and gods who had fallen into paranoia and decadence: Why bother with scheming, just treat the people sincerely, and the people will reward you with blessings.

With the blessing of good fortune and immeasurable merits along the way, a new status of Dao Zun was created. This was the biggest warning to the gods in heaven who had fallen into corruption.

Of course, being in his position and fulfilling his responsibilities, Li Yuan finally chose to fight to the death and die together with the enemy, which is also what made the immortals and gods admire and sigh.

If it were them, it would be difficult to do things to this extent. Even if they changed from then on and treated people well, they would inevitably be utilitarian and weigh the pros and cons, not to mention such a righteous act to turn the tide.

"Such a great man has illuminated this era."

"From now on, if anyone says a bad word about Yuan Zun, I will report it to the Heavenly Court and punish him severely!"

Although the gods on earth still did not know the situation in heaven, the momentum of the catastrophe had obviously begun to dissipate after Yuan Zun and Futu God Emperor died together. In their hearts, they still believed that heaven would not be easily destroyed.

An ancient mountain god in the human world sighed and watched You Shiwu lead the confused soul away, with a respectful look without any dissatisfaction.

Behind him, many mountain and river gods who had seen him off also shook their heads with regret and praised him repeatedly.

Even if one is indifferent and still unwilling to accept, one would not dare to make sarcastic remarks when the gods are expressing their feelings.

A hero, and a dead hero at that, there is no benefit in humiliating him, and no harm in praising him.

The gods also saw that Yuan Zun was connected to all spirits, and that some great figure had arranged for him to go to the underworld and experience the six reincarnations of the three realms in order to wash away the horrible karma on his body. If he wanted to wash away all of it... perhaps his divine duties would be stripped away, his true name would be lost, and he would never have the chance to remember his past.

Of course, this is just speculation by the gods of mountains and rivers, but reincarnation should be inevitable, after all, the Emperor of the Underworld has personally issued the order...

I don't know in which mountain and river god's territory the dignified Yuan Zun will be born in the next life. He is a truly great benefactor. If we show him some kindness and care, the infinite merits and fortune of the other party will be slightly tilted... It can be regarded as a great opportunity!

After their initial feelings of admiration, many immortals and gods were looking forward to such good things happening to them, and they all became excited when they thought about the benefits.

Some gods of mountains and rivers disdained to plot such things and were saddened by Li Yuan's fall; while some gods of mountains and rivers, although they were saddened, were unwilling to pay any price if they were really asked to do so.

Li Yuan once overpowered all the immortals, and they had no choice but to obey him. Now that Li Yuan has fallen, in this world that has turned into four continents, who can still command these righteous gods in heaven in a fair and just manner?

Many mountain and river gods were delighted that they had 'returned to freedom'. After all, the catastrophe was over and they finally didn't have to be suppressed by others anymore!

They never thought about how this fragmented world would rebuild its former glory after the fall of Anshan Li Yuan, nor did they think about whether this new pattern would create a different era. Instead, they considered their own interests first.

So, this corrupt heaven still has some remnants left and has not been completely cleaned up.

While many mountain and river gods were busy with their thoughts, You Shiwu had already crossed millions of miles of mountains and rivers, crossed a new ocean, passed through Qianzhou, and brought Li Yuan back to Anshan.

The mountain god of Huanshan, located in the main city of Qianzhou, saw them off with tears in his eyes and sighed all the way.

He and Li Yuan had no acquaintance and had long since resolved their minor grudge and became friends.

"In the past, you went against the other immortals. I thought you would be isolated and suppressed, but I was completely wrong. You never cared about the differences between immortals and gods. The people of this world are what you care about wholeheartedly."

"However, if you were to reincarnate, after thousands of years, the gods and immortals might still remain the same, but the human world would have already changed for dozens of generations. Who among these countless living beings would still remember you..."

"Is this bright road to eternal life worth cutting off for this?"

The mountain god of Huanshan walked silently behind the illusory figure, escorting Li Yuan's soul all the way out of Qianzhou. His hair was pale, his face was full of wrinkles, and he sighed repeatedly.

These weak little gods and immortals could only cooperate with Anshan's actions and provide assistance during the catastrophe.

It was impossible to know the circumstances of the great battle between Dao Zun and Dao Zun, and it was impossible to judge the overall situation. How could one know that Li Yuan had no choice at that time? Both he and the Buddha God Emperor had reached the point of exhaustion, and only by risking their lives could they have this relatively satisfactory ending.

Although, he has regrets in this life, and cannot be fulfilled...
