…
The shepherd boy sang. The snowy mountain was quiet as he chewed on a long blade of grass. The simplicity and tranquility here made Zhu Minglang feel like he was in a different world. It was as if he had once been born in such a place, and the bloodline of the Carefree Herdsman still flowed in his veins.
However, Zhu Minglang knew that this was not the Mount Mu he once knew.
First of all, Great Sky was a rather vast Heavenly Wilderness.
There were Nine Wilderness above and Nine Provinces below.
The Nine Wilderness referred to Great Sky, You Sky, Xuan Sky …
And Nine Provinces referred to the Divine Lands.
There were nine Divine Lands in the Heavenly Wilderness.
This meant that there were a total of 49 Divine Lands similar to the Northern Dipper in this vast world!
The Heavenly Wilderness was divided into three parts, known as the Mansions.
Zhu Minglang was now in Great Sky Wilderness, Cape Mansion, Li Prefecture, Old Yang Border, Snow Snail Mountain Range, and the Sungod Clan's community.
After hearing the complete description of this place for the first time, Zhu Minglang's eyes widened, and his jaw didn't close for a long time.
He felt like he had transmigrated again.
However, it was barely within his expectations. When the second sun appeared in the Northern Dipper Divine Lands after the Eternal Night Calamity, Zhu Minglang realized that the merging of the Northern Dipper Divine Lands was not the final form of the world. The Northern Dipper Divine Lands might still be moving toward a vaster world.
However, when he arrived and heard that the Northern Dipper Divine Lands was only one-forty-ninth of the Heavenly Wilderness, Zhu Minglang was still a little shocked.
At least let him get used to it step by step.
In the past, it went from Wasteland to Li Chuan, then from Li Chuan to Extreme Court, then from Extreme Court to Dubhe to the Northern Dipper …
There was a gradual process.
Now that the Heavenly Wilderness had suddenly increased by such a large margin, Zhu Minglang was indeed not used to it.
Speaking of which, why didn't he remember what happened in the Dragon Gate?
He had experienced an extremely long "cultivation" in the Dragon Gate, and it felt like another life. It even made Zhu Minglang feel like it was his journey in his previous life.
But now, he couldn't remember.
Only recently, when he was in a deep sleep, he would occasionally dream of some scenes from the Dragon Gate. Although he could not remember the details, that feeling would still linger in his mind after he woke up. What kind of lousy Dragon Gate was that? None of them could fight!
"How many levels of the Dragon Gate have I reached?"
"How is it classic amnesia?"
Zhu Minglang pondered for a while, but in the end, he could not recall his specific experience in the Dragon Gate.
However, there were a few things that were certain.
He should have climbed the Dragon Gate more than once during the process of reincarnation.
He had died many times.
Zhu Minglang should have defeated the gods of the Dragon Gate. The main reason was that every time he woke up from his dream, the feeling of being invincible was getting stronger and stronger. So much so that when he knew the general picture of the world, Zhu Minglang's heart was not too stirred.
Jiutian Wilderness, right?
Perhaps half of the Sky Wielders in the Amano Region had been beaten up by him before.
It wasn't that he was invincible.
The main reason was that there was no psychological burden.
In any case, no matter how miserably he lost, no matter how high he climbed, he would eventually turn into a simple herding boy after reincarnation. A giant in the spiritual world, a cowherd boy in the real world!
"Tell me more about your Rising God Clan," Zhu Minglang said to the goat-herding girl beside him, who seemed to be intoxicated by him.
The girl's name was Fang Xue, and her brother was Fang Shan.
"Our Fang Clan has a great history. You must not have heard of that story …" The young girl Fang Xue blinked her eyes. She was very willing to share the story she had heard with Zhu Minglang.
"Tell me," Zhu Minglang nodded and said with a serious face.
"The god we believe in is called Mang Di, the highest god in charge of the sky. He looks after the most powerful and brilliant sun. In short, he is a very, very great god, just like the Celestial Emperor." As the girl spoke, she imitated the ancient dance of the clan and stroked her beard.
"Mhm, mhm, such a simple and kind-hearted clan would have a supreme god who once controlled the heavenly court. I understand." Zhu Minglang spoke.
"Is it true? You have to listen to the rest of the story." The young girl Fang Xue spoke.
"Do you have grapes or melon seeds? I like these two things when I hear stories." Zhu Minglang asked.
"There are dried lotus fruits, here … Mang Di has always been in charge of the orderly changes of the sun, moon, and stars. For example, when the sun rises, when the sun sets. For millions of years, there hasn't been any mistakes. However, one day, Mang Di was heavily injured during a battle with an ancient ancestor god and fell into the Heaven Vault. For a period of time, the order of the stars, moon, and sun was in chaos. In order to search for Mang Di, a young white sun secretly left the duty zone. The white sun emitted an unbearable amount of heat and because it was young, it wasn't able to control the sun dragon breath in its body. This caused the people of the world to suffer from the extreme pain of the sun corona every once in a while."
Fang Xue continued. As for Zhu Minglang, he had already stopped eating the dried fruit. His gaze gradually changed … why did the dried fruit feel so sour? Was it spoiled?
"Not bad, not bad. What an excellent beginning of the story." Zhu Minglang commented.
"It's true."
"And then?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"After the Mang Di fell into the Heaven Vault, he no longer remembered who he was. When he saw the people of the world being tortured by the sun, he walked from the east to the west with the body of a mortal. After that, he walked from the south to the north, experiencing countless trials and tribulations before he finally chased after the sun. But after he saw the sun, he recalled that he was the Mang Di. The young white sun was like his child, it was just that the white sun was also searching for him."
"And then?" Zhu Minglang asked.
"The Mang Di hoped that the people would forgive Bai Taiyang who was young and ignorant. But at that time, the ancient race had suffered too many years of torture. Because of Bai Taiyang, too many people had died. Everyone hoped that the Mang Di would kill Bai Taiyang to avenge his death." Fang Xue explained.
"The Mang Di was helpless. In the end, he chose to be punished together with Bai Taiyang in exchange for the young white sun's life."
"What was the punishment?" Zhu Minglang asked, puzzled.
Fang Xue started to stutter. In the end, she could only blush as she continued, "After that, I fell asleep while listening to the story."
"After that, Bai Taiyang was demoted to be a farmer. He was diligent and couldn't resist for the rest of his life. The Mang Di was demoted to be a herdsman. He had to take care of the livestock every day …" At this moment, the old granny walked over and added the ending of the story.
"Yes, yes, yes. That's us. Our ancestors always said that herding livestock is the same as controlling the sun. Both are very majestic!" Fang Xue smiled radiantly.
"Mhm, mhm. This is the best story I've ever heard." Zhu Minglang nodded.
"Actually, there's another saying." The old granny smiled at Zhu Minglang.
