《Ancient God (Ancient Love Poetry)》Chapter 95: Backtracking {2}
Advertisement
Sixty-three thousand eight hundred years ago, when the time was quiet and peaceful, Shang Gu still had the wild and arrogant temperament when they were young.
In the God Realm, the moon is the day of the great birthday of the gods.
The gods in the God Realm only have a big birthday once every ten thousand years, and the Yue Hua Mansion has been decorated with lanterns half a month before the birthday celebration, which is full of joy.
Ten thousand years have a long time, and this kind of liveliness is not common in the God Reakm. It is reasonable to say that all gods should rush to gather first to congratulate, but... when the moon is once in ten thousand years, many old gods are avoided. There is no other, the Goddess Yue Mi likes treasures, and she is old. If she likes any good treasures, she will transcribe the birthday gifts she wants on the invitation three months before the birthday banquet. Yes, they are all the treasures of the caves and towns.
Who can be happy with such a long life of weeping blood and cutting flesh.
In such a large realm, it is only four people who can count with her fingers.
She dare not do this, but she can't be one of the four who can be invited by her like this.
Therefore, every ten thousand years, at such a time, the thresholds of the hall of the four true gods have the tendency to be trampled by the complaining gods. In desperation, the four have to hide and hide as they can.
The same is true for this year. Shang Gu counted the days, and they insisted on traveling for a long time before quietly sneaking back to the Pilgrimage Hall in the early morning of the day. She was blocked by the four immortals with broad shoulders and thick waists sent by Yue Mi...
Although Shang Gu has been lawless in the God Realm since she was a child, she was born unable to lose her temper when she grew up and taught her to do bad things was screwed into Yuehua Mansion.
Beside the bustling and prosperous lobby, Yue Mi specially opened an inner hall to place congratulations.
At this time, she sat behind a mountain of gifts and quietly listened to the immortal child standing beside taking inventory, her eyes narrowed slightly.
The voice of the little immortal is clear and crisp, and the goddess who is sitting is wearing a long gilt dress, which complements the wealth and splendor in the hall. Such a scene.
The golden objects were so dazzling that her eyes were dazzled. It was said that it was unbearable for the eyes... The goddess who was sitting on the soft couch was as calm as water, and she looked like a youthful beauty. Why does the resentment come like a tide, and it can't stop it...
The true god's sense of responsibility suddenly overflowed in his heart, and Shang Gu fluttered away the four immortals behind her, and stepped forward before opening her mouth. The hall of Yuehua Mansion is small, Shang Gu, and counting, I have passed my eighth birthday, and I finally saw you once in my cave mansion."
Shang Gu paused, and miraculously remembered the fact that she had escaped to the lower realm many times, her aura disappeared like a punctured ball in an instant, she touched her nose and took a step backwards embarrassedly,
"Yue Mi, you know, after God Father disappeared, There are many things in the Three Realms, and Mu Guang has not been able to support the overall situation, so I am doing my best..."

"Don't come."
Yue Mi glanced at her and took the gift list handed over by the little fairy boy, full of momentum,
"Except Tian Qi is as lazy as you, Bai Jue and Zhi Yang have been conscientiously guarding the God Realm for hundreds of thousands of years. The lower realm is so sesame, you are embarrassed to lick your face and say that you are doing your best!"
Shang Gu spread her hands, looked ruffian, and acted like a rogue,
"Yue Mi, sometimes people are too sincere."
She pointed to the gift list in Yue Mi's hand,
"For example, these things...you are a veteran of the God Realm. Goddess, you can talk about everything. Sooner or later, they will beg you before you. When you hook your fingers, it will be all yours. One suffers with you?"
"You know what, it's called interest. I'm just happy to see that they are reluctant to give up their treasures, and they have to bite their teeth and send them to me."
Yue Mi flicked her fingers, and the four round-looking skillfully moved the treasures away in boxes, and immediately the inner room was emptied, waiting for the next batch of lambs to be slaughtered to enter.
In ancient times, the master and servants in the room were full of cooperation and tacit understanding.
They regarded her as nothing, and she was squeezed to stand in a corner, and said aggrieved,
"You are not afraid of things doing what!"
"This God is considered to have a good face in the God Realm. You haven't attended my birthday banquet for 80,000 years. My face is not good-looking. No matter what this time, I have to catch one."
Shang Gu thought that Yue Mi needed a prestige, and immediately put up a score and hummed,
"Since you can be so powerful, you have the ability to find the bad luck of the three of them..."
Unexpectedly, the goddess, who had already walked to the door, raised her eyebrows, showing a smile that was not a smile, and sneered,
"Little Shang Gu, so you know that you are... the softest one!"
The last few words were extraordinarily long. At that time, Shang Gu were arrogant and arrogant, so how could they bear such a run on words, her face turned black, she rolled her sleeves and was about to go out, but Yue Mi stretched out a foot to stop her,
"Shang Gu, If you stay in the lobby for an hour today, how about I take you to a good place and see a good show?"
Yue Mo's deceitful expression was too blatant, and Shang Gu hesitated for a moment, still unmoved,
"I'm worth an hour, is it worth a show, Yue Mi, I haven't seen you for thousands of years, but the more you live, the more you look back!"
"This play is being staged under my nose every day. I've watched it for thousands of years. If you watch it, you won't get tired of keeping it, and you won't be willing to leave the God Rem again and go to those lower worlds."
Yue Mi stretched out two fingers and shook it in front of Shang Gu with a sincere expression.
Shang Gu frowned and moved slightly,
"Is this true?"
"It's truer than the Dinghai Pearl, the old dragon king who reluctantly gave up his love to me."
The voice was settled, and Yue Mi dragged the ancient court toward the main hall,
"The music is playing, the banquet is open, let's go."

The deceived Shang Gu, because of Yue Mi's sincere words, 'It's truer than pearls', was suffocated and dressed in a commoner in Yuehua Mansion, facing a reverent and frightening God, and became a stone statue with a human face for a full hour.
For the next three hundred years, she always felt that this transaction was the most cost-effective one since she was born, but in the next 60,000 years, if she still remembers this day, she will definitely hope... She never returned on this day. She have been to the God Realm, she have entered Yuehua Mansion, and she have seen that person.
An hour later, in a hidden pavilion in the back hill of Yuehua Mansion, the ancient man who was lying on the corner of the horizontal bar looked at Yue Mi, who was eating a broken mouth,
"What the hell is this place?"
"Yuehua Mansion!"
"Where's the stage?"
"Hey, there."
Yue Mi stretched out her little finger and pointed at the back of the pavilion,
"Did you see that peach forest?"
Shang Gu followed her gestures, twisted an arc with great difficulty and looked back, squinted and said,
"What are you looking at..."
Halfway through her words, she was slightly startled.
The peach blossoms in Taoyuan Forest are in full bloom, covering the thousands of scenery inside, but under the bustling scenery, there is a very secret corner exposed in the sight of the attic corridor.
Several miles of peach forests, wooden bridges and flowing water, next to the stone seat, a young man in white sat quietly facing the two of them.
The thin cheeks outline a gentle arc, the eyelids are deep, the thin lips are pursed lightly, and he is holding a small piece of wood in his hand to slowly carve, and his expression is in a trance due to concentration. Warm and pure.
Even Shang Gu, who had always had great confidence in her own concentration, was stunned for a long time before she came back to her senses.
This scene is indeed a little quiet and beautiful, but if you say that you can watch it for thousands of years, it is an exaggeration. Shang Gu turned her head, concealed her emotions, and showed a puzzled look,
"It's not that Bai Jue carves villains in front of peach blossoms and flowing water, this is it a good show?"
After a pause, she said dissatisfiedly,
"You know he is hiding here, but you are only trying to torment me, Yue Mi, what kind of benefits did Bai Jue promise you!"
Yue Mi didn't seem to be able to hear the low question of Shang Gu, she just sipped the fruit wine, and after a while, she glanced at Shang Gu with deep meaning,
"Little Shanggu, you have been away for thousands of years, and there are many more in the God Realm. There are a lot of new rules, you probably haven't heard of them yet."
"What rules?"
"The Taoyuan Forest is rich in divine power, and the stream has the effect of building a foundation. It is a rare place in the God Realm. Although it belongs to me, few people dare to step into it. You think my face is so big that I can scare those old guys. ?"
"You mean..."
Shang Gu looked at Bai Jue and raised her eyebrows.
Yue Mi nodded,
"No, this place was occupied by the dove in the magpie's nest thousands of years ago, and it has long been out of the jurisdiction of this god. Although it has not been stated, the gods in the God Realm all know, who would be entering Taoyuan Forest without permission is against Bai Jue, the True God in charge of the God realm."
"Hey, there is such a saying, I don't know that Bai Jue has established such a rule." Shang Gu laughed,
"Why does he do this?"
"Who knows?"
Yue Mi got up, walked towards the horizontal bar, and said in a leisurely voice,
"I said I would let you watch a good show, and you won't be able to see it for yourself later."
As soon as Yue Mi's words were settled, the sound of rustling footsteps came from far away in the peach forest. Shang Gu were refreshed, hid themselves, and looked up into the forest.
The goddess in a scallion-colored dress appeared in the sight of the two of them. The woman put on a little makeup, her face was beautiful, her eyebrows and eyes were bright, and she also brought a touch of involuntary pride and coldness. The division of the king, this person is a high-quality!
Yue Mi, who was silent in Shang Gu, glanced at her, Yue Mi understood, and said in a low voice,
"This is the goddess of plum who came from the lower realm three thousand years ago. You often travel to the lower realm, but I don't think you have seen him before, but now this person in the God Realm is Xiang Momo, many gods are fond of her."
When Shang Gu got the answer, she turned her head again, and was noncommittal about the 'Xiang Momo' that Yue Mi said, but she don't know if Yue Mi made the scene too mysterious, and even with Shang Gu, she became a little nervous.
After all, in such a scene, no matter how unreasonable she is, she knows what will happen next.
Sure enough, a slightly soft voice entered the ears of the two of them not far or near.
"I has seen the True God."
This goddess obeyed the rules, stood three steps away from Bai Jue, and gave a salute, her voice was neither soft nor arrogant, but with a touch of calm self-restraint, Shang Gu nodded, no wonder she entered the God Realm three thousand years can make Yue Mi remember that this goddess really has the aptitude to make people treat her like this, and Bai Jue is really blessed this time!
"Which Mei Ruo?"
Bai Jue asked indifferently as she kept carving in her hands.
No matter what the Goddess Mei Ruo thought after hearing it, it was extremely difficult for Shang Gu hiding aside to suppress the laughter.
Bai Jue's cold and deadly temperament really didn't change at all.
"The god has a high position, so he doesn't pay attention to the little gods such as me. I am is in charge of the four seasons of plum blossoms. I was promoted to the God Realm three thousand years ago. At the feast of Yaochi 500 years ago, I was fortunate enough to see the holy face of the god."
Mei Ruo brows lightly. Wrinkle, still answered respectfully.
"If there is no major event, leave as soon as possible, you have already entered the God Realm for three thousand years, and you should know that I does not like outsiders to enter Taoyuan Forest."
"If people who are equal to the gods never respond, will the gods have to wait?"
The movement in his hands stopped abruptly, Bai Jue finally raised his eyes, looked at the sworn goddess, raised his brows, and said indistinctly,
"What do you mean?"
Even though they were separated by dozens of meters, Shang Gu really wanted to ask Bai Jue the same 'what's the meaning'. She hasn't been here for thousands of years. Could it be that Bai Jue already has a master?
It seemed that the pressure was too great to be looked at by Bai Jue like this, Mei Ruo unconsciously took a half step back, her cheeks were blushing, and she blinked before saying,
"Over the years, the sisters in the world have walked into Taoyuan Forest, not one of them. It can make the gods look good, so... everyone is saying that the people who are equal to the gods in the Taoyuan forest must be True God Shang Gu"
She paused and continued,
"I'm just guessing, Don’t be surprised by the gods, this place was originally owned by the Goddess Yue Mi, and it is the closest to the Yuehua mansion."
Her words were extraordinarily firm inside and out, and the last few words were repeated thousands of times, causing the three listening to them to be stunned at the same time.
Shang Gu silently glanced at Yue Mi, with a strange expression, Yue Mi opened her mouth and waved her hands to Shang Gu again and again. Finally, she couldn't help taking a sip of fruit wine and sprayed it on the side of the corridor.
"Yue Mi, I really can't imagine that you, a movie-watcher, are sometimes put on the stage!"
Listening to the teasing inside and outside the words of Shang Gu, Yue Mi didn't know what to think, gave her a sideways glance, and suddenly said solemnly,
"Shang Gu, you said it too early, it's better... continue to read."
Bai Jue didn't answer, but after hearing Mei Ruo say Yue Mi's name, he buried his head and concentrated on engraving the villain, as if he had never heard the words of the goddess in front of him.
Although she was calm and restrained, she was too young in the end, and she was facing old monsters like Bai Jue.
Mei Ruo's face was always indifferent and slightly broken, and she couldn't help but take two steps forward, approaching Bai Jue, and raised her eyebrows. The voice said,
"True Gpd, although the God Realm is the supreme place in the world, the gods are in charge of all things and sit on the four seas, but the time is long and it is too lonely for you to stay alone, is it not enough for thousands of years, you want endless wait?"
Mei Ruo knows that she is not as good as the gods everywhere, but... She has a strong heart for Bai Jue. Mei Ruo does not ask for the name, but only asks for the Bai Jue's permission to stay by the him, serve tea and water, and serve the him one or two, the remaining wishes are enough.
The slightly shy voice lingered in her ears, and Shang Gu hidden beside her was stunned. She didn't know that the God Realm's self-recommended pillow seats were all like this. It doesn't taste right, it's really awkward.
Bai Jue, who had been silent for a while, slowly put his hands together, and put the small portrait with a vague appearance in his palms, and suddenly raised his head to look at Mei Ruo.
"How many thousand years?"
There was a faint smile in his words, and his expression was indistinguishable, and he was cold and sharp,
"You waited for five hundred years, and you thought you could come to me and say such words, if I say it is a full ten thirty thousand years?"
No matter how cold Bai Jue's expression was, he couldn't match his sudden appearance, 130,000 years? Up to now, Mei Ruo, who was only over 20,000 years old, was taken aback by the amount of time, her mouth moved, and she was speechless for a while.
Thirteen thousand years? Shang Gu on the corridor frowned. For some reason, she felt that this time was a little familiar, but she seemed to have no clue for a while. She really didn't know when Bai Jue fell in love with a goddess for such a long time. After all, the entire God Realm, there are only a handful of goddesses who have been so long.
However, ... Yue Mi is one of them.
"I've waited for 130,000 years without a result. Why do you think I should be held responsible for your five hundred years of delusions?"
Words are like sharp swords, pointing directly at people's hearts, but it is clear that hundreds of years of waiting are enough to sharpen people's minds.
Although the development of the current situation is quite different from what was expected, Mei Ruo still raised her head and said,
"True God, Goddess Yue Mi, why is she worthy of your treatment? "
"Yue Mi is not worth it, are you worth it?"
The cold voice lowered to a deep, interrupted the Goddess delicate questioning.
Mei Ruo was stunned, watching Bai Jue who had been sitting lazily in front of him suddenly straighten up and looked at her.
"Mei Ruo, I will only say this once. After listening to it, you should leave Taoyuan Forest immediately, and you will never be allowed to enter here again."
"The person I love, whether she is the true god or the dust, is no different to me. I love and admire, only she is."
"It doesn't matter whether it is 130,000 years or 300,000 years, I am willing to be equal in this Taoyuan Forest."
"She may not be the best in the world, but in my eyes, she is unique and irreplaceable."
Word by word was too heavy for her to hear, and Shang Gu lying on the crossbar silently paused, her breathing suddenly slowed down for some reason, these words were too heavy, she never thought they would come out of Bai Jue's mouth.
Or maybe I never expected that the moment I heard this, I felt a palpitating feeling in a trance.
In the end, what kind of person can afford this deep love and love so much?
She was too focused, so she missed Yue Mi, who was leaning on the side, and cast her eyes and smiles.
"True God, you..."
Even Shang Gu's heart was shaken when he first heard this, not to mention Mei Ruo who was standing in front of Bai Jue, her face changed slightly, her lips pursed slightly, she was really shocked.

Rise of the First Necromancer
Asrael Nessarat awakes on a sandy dune with a mouthful of sand and nothing but tattered rags in his posession. As the High Magus of the school of Necromancy, he once aspired to prove to the Emperor that magic still held a place in their society. But that day came, passed and inevitably accelerated his kind's downfall. Now; they are hunted, strung up and burned on pyres throughout the Empire by the Emperor's holy Inquisition- an efficient and ruthless army hell-bent on bleeding every last droplet of magic from the lands. With nothing but a mouthful of sand and tattered rags; Asrael is determined to seek the one thing his cold, still heart desires. Vengeance. This story can, at times, get very dark. It is not recommended for the faint of heart. This is not a story of an overtly powerful wizard who can pulverize his enemies from across the world, nor is it in any way, shape or form a joyous tale. We follow Asrael as he and his companions explore and seek to change an unjust world, where kindness and acceptance are exceptions, rather than the rule. If you are looking for a story to inspire hope or joy, this is not it. If you wish to read about likeable, heroic people, turn around. If you wish to see good battle evil, where the cut in between is clear, then this is not for you.

Just rules similar to the laws of physics, within those laws you can do whatever is possible. Updates: I work Sunday thru Wednesday and updates tend to revolve around my scheduled days off. Currently, I release content as I feel it's ready for release because that's what I myself would prefer from an author. Warnings: This story is graphic. blood/necromancy magic that requires self-harm to use. explicit descriptions of sexuality. (though fairly tame outside of the marked chapters, at least compared to said chapters) and is generally darker in tone. If you're concerned you might start to read only to be turned off by these elements. See 7. Teetering on the Edge for an example of the graphic nature of violence or 9. Explicit Content for a fairly self-contained example of the most explicit of the sexual content.
