In Midland, on top of Sky Pillar, clouds and mist rose, spreading for tens of thousands of miles.
Amidst the clouds and mist, an ancient-styled, majestic gate of a palace was visible, standing on a golden glow and purple cloud. A strong divine power covered the entire area, making people dare not to look straight at it.
According to the legends, Sky Pillar was transformed from the spine of Saint Pan Gu, who created Pan Gu world. It supported the sky and suppressed the entire world, and was the core of the starry void of Pan Gu world. The circulation of natural stars and earth meridians was based on this Sky Pillar.
More importantly, the Heavenly Pillar was the most important passage in and out of the Ancient Heavenly Court.
Back in the ancient time, even the weakest human beings could climb all the way up to the heaven through Sky Pillar, as long as they had great perseverance and were not afraid of death, and were lucky enough. Therefore, back in the ancient time, human beings who were bullied often went to the heaven and asked divine emperors to complain about the evil Gods who brought chaos to the human world.
However, ever since the non-humankind invaded and the heaven fell, it had been many, many years since anyone climbed Sky Pillar, and no human being reached the heaven through Sky Pillar for many, many years.
Qiang Liang carried his large axe and sat in front of the gate of the heaven with his legs crossed, looking straight at a bonfire in front of him.
A three-miles-long serpent floated in the bonfire, sizzling with oil dripping down from his lips. He had been licking his lips and laughing with a hissing voice, "Good job, good job. Kua E and his bunch of big bellies have all gone to eat meat and drink wine. Now, all living creatures in this Sky Pillar Buzhou Mountain are my food."
A sturdy Kaiming Beast was lying beside Qiang Liang. When it heard Qiang Liang's muttering, it growled in a displeased manner.
The growl sent dust flying everywhere, and even the bonfire quaked intensely for a few times. Qiang Liang hurriedly patted on the beast's head and cursed in a low voice, "Good, good, and you, hmm, you too … Why don't you go eat those evil people? Why do you fight with me for food all the time?"
The Kaiming beast roared towards the sky, then angrily opened its jaws and bit on Qiang Liang's leg.
The beast loosened its jaws and growled in rage, "How many years has it been since the last time someone came to the heaven to file a complaint?! Back then, the Celestial Emperor promised me that I could guard the mountainside of the Heavenly Pillar, and if those evil people wanted to enter the Heavenly Court to complain, I could eat them. But how many years has it been since I last saw a living person? "
Kaiming beast bumped his enormous head against the ground, causing the ground to shake. Then, he murmured in a wronged tone, "If no one comes to the heaven to complain, I won't have human flesh to eat … Ah, we can only hunt the birds and beasts on Sky Pillar to fill our stomachs. The birds and beasts in the mortal world are all prey of human beings. But how many animals can Buzhou Mountain support? "
The Kaiming Beast spat out a mouthful of saliva as it looked at the great python above the bonfire. Drool trickled down the corner of its mouth. He said insincerely, "Besides, how can these birds and beasts be as delicious as human flesh?"
Qiang Liang licked his lips, then punched on the beast's head and said, "Alright, you have food to eat, so shut your mouth. Kua E and the others have gone out to work, and won't be back for at least a few years. All the birds and beasts on this mountain belong to us. It'll be enough for you to eat for a while. "
The Kaiming beast snorted and shook its head.
But all of a sudden, it leaped up and expanded its body to hundreds of meters tall. Nine human heads rose from its neck, roaring towards the sky.
A series of thunder-like roars quaked the surrounding clouds. The beast's eye sockets shone brightly, piercing straight into the sky like a sharp blade. "Piss off! Who dares to break into the heaven? Aren't you afraid that your whole family will be killed? "
Qiang Liang grabbed the axe beside him, straightened his body at lightning speed, and hacked towards the sky without saying a word.
Clang! A purely dark ice stick smashed down and bumped against Qiang Liang's axe.
Fire sparkles rose while ice flakes flew all over the sky. Qiang Liang sensed a great pain from his arm while he staggered backward for tens of steps, nearly bumping his head against the gate of the heaven. In shock, he raised his head and saw Wuzhi Qi, who had transformed back into his original water ape body and was grinning at him.
"Wuzhi Qi!" Qiang Liang's heart twitched intensely.
Wuzhi Qi was a famous prehistorical being. Back when the ancient heaven was still at its peak, he was already a famous spirit creature in the world. Qiang Liang was a descendant of divine Gods, but he was born after the heaven fell. In terms of both power and fame, there was a huge gap between him and Wuzhi Qi.
"What do you want? Breaking into the heaven is a heavy crime! "Qiang Liang took a deep breath, gripped the axe with both hands, and looked at Wuzhi Qi, ready to fight.
"Ah, breaking into the heaven is indeed a heavy crime, but how many years ago was that?" Wuzhi Qi carelessly squatted on a watery cloud, showed his teeth, and grinned to Qiang Liang, "Even if I break into the heaven now, who can convict me?"
Pointing the stick at Qiang Liang, Wuzhi Qi chuckled and said, "You little kid? Or … Kua E and his brothers, who are busy doing odd jobs for the humankind all day long, exchanging food and drinks from human beings? "
Qiang Liang narrowed his eyes and said blandly, "How are Kua E and his brothers?"
Although the heaven had fallen, no one dared to underestimate the power of the heaven. If Qiang Liang, Kua E and the other divine Gods occupied the important area of the heaven and activated the heaven and earth great formation to defend it, without hundreds of powerful ones like Wuzhi Qi joining hands, no one could ever break into the heaven.
Since Wuzhi Qi dared to do this, there was only one explanation — Kua E and his brothers were in trouble.
"Smart!" A dark cloud descended from the sky. Gong Gong, Xiang Liu, River Earl, and a large group of Water God ministers with black armors landed in front of the gate of the heaven with weird smiles on their faces.
Qiang Liang took a step aside, and Kaiming beast did the same. Qiang Liang and Kaiming beast stood side by side, blocking the gate of the heaven.
Kaiming beast gnashed his teeth and cursed, "Gong Gong … The first Gong Gong was never a good thing. Back then, I should have done something behind your back and killed your ancestors."
Gong Gong looked at Kaiming beast, smiled and said, "Kaiming beast, you're an old minister of the heaven. I don't want to stain my hands with your blood. Follow me and I will give you whatever you want. Isn't that better than staying in this wild place and suffering? "
Kaiming beast cast a complicated glance at Gong Gong, helplessly sighed and said, "I want to … But, when the few divine emperors fell, I promised them that I would take good care of the heaven. Therefore, I can only keep an eye on the heaven."
Gong Gong looked at Kaiming beast and shouted coldly, "Stupid!"
Kaiming beast lowered his eyelids and responded blandly, "Stupid? No, I am loyal! "
Smiling coldly, Kaiming beast threw a sideway glance at Gong Gong and said blandly, "Of course, you don't understand … Your Gong Gong Family doesn't understand!"
