When Meng Yungui came to escort the supplies, he didn't bring many soldiers with him. Most of them were his own troops, which was called Ascension Camp. He was a human god from Ascension Heaven, and there were many human gods that had sought refuge with him. Most of them were from Ascension Heaven.
He was good at managing troops, and most of his subordinates were loyal to him. However, Heaven had also placed many half-gods into his Ascension Camp to monitor his actions.
After all, he was a human, and Heaven was still not at ease with him.
He also had other military forces in Heaven, such as the ten guards of Heaven. However, they only listened to Celestial Emperor, and he had no power to mobilize them.
Just as Meng Yungui killed Yan Yazi, there was also a huge cleansing in Ascension Camp. When Meng Yungui killed the gods and devils under Yan Yazi, many soldiers of Ascension Camp came with their ships bathed in blood. The surface of Celestial River Tributary was already blood red.
Meng Yungui held his sword and stood among the corpses in Southern Heaven Celestial Palace. He looked at his subordinates. Slave ships were docked by the river, and there were still blood stains on the divine armor of the human gods on the ships.
The atmosphere became oppressive.
"Do you regret it?"
Meng Yungui's voice didn't have the confidence from before. The rebellion this time was more like a sudden decision made on impulse, and it wasn't a complete plan. To a heavenly teacher like him, it was definitely a failure to be controlled by his emotions.
He knew in his heart that the rebellion wouldn't succeed!
The human soldiers that had followed him for so many years would probably all die!
"You rebelled with me, but you might not even succeed. What awaits you won't be any honor or glory. You might only be defeated, and your comrades will die in battle."
Meng Yungui looked at his subordinates and swept his gaze across the familiar faces. He said in a deep voice, "Back then, I brought all of you out of Heaven of Ascension. Perhaps, I won't be able to bring all of you back to Heaven of Ascension alive. Perhaps all of you will return as corpses, or perhaps not even corpses will be left behind. If we lose, the history recorded in Heaven will only be tainted with our names. "
"If we die, there won't be a tombstone. Our lifetime of cultivation might only be exchanged with corpses like dead dogs on the battlefield. After we die, we will be scolded by people: Look! He's a traitor! "
"Do you still want to follow me?" he asked loudly.
On the slave ships, the soldiers of the Ascension Camp remained silent. Suddenly, a soldier pushed open his helmet, revealing a resolute face.
"Heavenly Master, you brought me out from Heaven of Ascension."
The middle-aged god's voice wasn't loud, but it was shocking. "I only know that before I met Heavenly Master, my life was worse than a dog's. Back then, when the natural disaster broke out, starving people were everywhere. I followed the villagers to the city to beg for food. Along the way, I don't know how many people starved to death. I made it to the city alive, and I was so hungry that I fainted. I searched the demigods' mansions for food that they threw away in the gutters! I dug out their leftover human bones. I was starving. I wanted to eat. You pulled me out of the gutter. You told me that we have to have a backbone, that we can't eat people, that we humans have to make a name for ourselves, that we have to be upright! You said that humans were not destined to be slaves at birth, nor were they destined to be food for the gods. You said you wanted the human race to live a better life! From then on, I followed you! "
The other god pushed his helmet away, revealing a long scar on his face that looked like a centipede mark left behind by a whip. He said with a hoarse voice, "I was also one of the victims of that catastrophe. From then on, I've been following you. You were still a divine arts practitioner then. You were high-spirited, and you let us, who were only skin and bones, see hope. "
"I was also a person from that time."
Another god pushed open his helmet. "We followed you through life and death. Many of our companions left, but we survived."
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
"I'm not, but my father is. Before my father died, he told me to follow Heavenly Master and never abandon him! "
…
There were also numerous gods who didn't follow Meng Yungui during the natural disaster of Ascension Camp. They relied on their ideals and their trust in Meng Yungui to reach where they were now.
"You taught us reason and righteousness. You told us that where reason lies, we will not turn back!"
An old general said with a smile, "And now, we are where reason lies, so we will not turn back! We … "
He knelt on the deck and said loudly, "We swear to follow Heavenly Master to our deaths!"
On the slave ships, the soldiers of Ascension Camp knelt on one knee in unison. Their voices reverberated around the Celestial River Tributary. "We swear to follow Heavenly Master to our deaths!"
Meng Yungui's blood boiled, and he raised his sword to point at Heaven. He laughed and said, "If you don't let me down, I won't let you down! Everyone, please rise. Today, follow me to rebel, rebel against Heaven! "
The celestial river was turbulent.
Violent winds blew up huge waves and hit the slave ships. The slaves on the ships trembled in fear and trepidation. On the deck, the human gods were full of vigor. Under Meng Yungui's command, they quickly rushed to the other Heaven in Southern Heaven to clean up Heaven's forces here.
They had to seal off the news and not let any of Heaven's forces in Southern Heaven inform Heaven.
This rebellion was a last-minute idea. They weren't prepared, and neither was Heaven. As long as they cut off the news, they could stall for time and make ample preparations.
