Reigning Supreme in countless worlds With Beast taming

Qin Feng left the Illusion Array untouched, for if he had dismantled it, the bare state of the golden apple tree would have been revealed for all to see, and it wouldn’t have been long before someone noticed.

The two of them walked past the hundred-headed giant dragon that was soundly asleep, suppressing the excitement within their hearts and feigning calm as they exited the garden and left the Divine Palace.

Since they were tasked with patrolling the palace, they encountered no resistance along the way.

After leaving the palace, they seemed leisurely but were actually hastening their pace, moving swiftly toward the mountain’s exterior without attracting attention.

Upon reaching the exit of the Divine Mountain, they slowed down, took out their tokens, and before the guards could speak, they asserted, “We are under direct orders from the Heavenly Empress to deliver a message to the front lines, bring out the fastest Heavenly Horse immediately; we must leave at once!”

Hearing this, the demigod guard did not question them, especially as the tokens in their hands were indeed from the Heavenly Empress Palace, so he promptly opened the gates and summoned the Heavenly Horses to send the two on their way.

It was also a testament to the neglectful gods, who, although had stationed a few divine beings to guard the pathways to and from Divine Mountain, like the other gods, typically delegated tasks to their subordinates and occupied themselves with drinking and merrymaking.

Since nothing major had happened at Divine Mountain for many years, all gods had long since lost their vigilance. After all, why endure the tedium of guarding the gates when they could be seducing goddesses with ease?

Thus, they enjoyed themselves carefree on Divine Mountain, entrusting all duties to subordinates.

The current gatekeepers, mainly newly recruited demigods, dared not offend an envoy of the Heavenly Empress Hera.

So Qin Feng and Li Miaozhen made a swift exit from Divine Mountain, riding the Heavenly Horses toward the location of the battlefield.

However, this was merely for show.

In truth, once the Heavenly Horses had flown tens of thousands of miles and they were sure they had left the vicinity of Divine Mountain, the two concealed their auras, used their Escape Techniques, and flew southward.

These two Heavenly Horses were among the fastest and strongest at the passageway, almost possessing the strength of demigods, yet they were thoroughly tamed by the gods, showing no intention of resistance and were easily stored within the two’s Space Magical Treasures—akin to picking up stray demigod-level Spiritual Beasts without effort.

It was a pity that these Heavenly Horses’ talent lay primarily in speed, and they were not very strong in combat; they could only serve as Riding Tools.

After flying tens of thousands of miles south, the two turned westward, so that even if someone were chasing them, the pursuers would not know their exact escape direction.

…

Mount Olympus, the theft of the golden apples remained hidden for only so long.

Though Qin Feng’s Illusion Array still projected the former appearance of the golden apple tree, the sight of the hundred-headed giant dragon, Ladon, deeply asleep inevitably drew some attention.

The flower gardeners dared not approach the golden apples’ vicinity, and the patrolling guards typically gave it a wide berth as well.

But when they saw that Ladon had fallen into deep slumber, they grew suspicious.

Some of the palace’s old-timers knew that the hundred-headed giant dragon never slept, especially now that the other three guardians of the apple tree had left, Ladon felt its duty was of paramount importance and watched vigilantly in all directions with its hundred heads, never once dozing off.

Not to mention snoring loudly as it was now.

With so many heads, the simultaneous snoring made it difficult not to attract attention.

When the patrolling guards found they couldn’t awaken Ladon, they immediately realized something was amiss and swiftly reported up the chain.

When the Heavenly Empress Hera returned from a banquet and heard of the incident, she immediately rose and hurried to the back garden.

Being one of the twelve main gods, her Divine Power was overwhelming, and she saw through Qin Feng’s Illusion Array in an instant.

The moment her gaze fell upon the Array, the Array Flags exploded, the Array Plate shattered, and all the illusions dissipated, revealing the apple tree in its bare state.

Upon seeing the dismal state of the apple tree, Hera’s anger was kindled.

Could an apple tree protected by three goddesses and a hundred-headed giant dragon at her and God King Zeus’s joint command be anything ordinary?

Both the apple tree and its golden apples were highly significant, and now not only were the golden apples stolen, but several branches were cut off, and even the leaves were plucked nearly bare, with only a few remaining and fluttering in the wind, creating a sight most displeasing to the eye.

“Dammit!”

Hera was furious.

With the Heavenly Empress’s wrath unleashed, the skies above the entire Divine Mountain clouded over with tumultuous winds and changing patterns, and then the whole mountain fell into deathly silence.

Beasts didn’t roar, birds didn’t chirp, all gods kept quiet, and every Life felt an oppressive atmosphere.

She cast an angry glance at the still sleeping hundred-headed giant dragon and waved her hand, sending a streak of Divine Light onto its body, forcibly dispelling all traces of sleepiness and waking it up.

“Heavenly Empress?”

The hundred-headed giant dragon was confused at first, and as one Dragon Head opened its eyes, it caught sight of the Heavenly Empress Hera, causing the remaining ninety-nine heads to open their eyes wide in shock.

Then, filled with delight, it said, “Heavenly Empress, what brings you here in person? Your gifting of fine wine has already been the greatest honor to me. Your visit this time is for…”

“Enough chatter!”

Hera was seething with rage as she pointed at the golden apple tree behind the hundred-headed giant dragon and demanded, “What is the meaning of this? I left you to guard the golden apples, so how did it come to this?

And as for the fine wine,

when did I ever give that to you?”

“Ah?”

The hundred-headed giant dragon was still somewhat bewildered, not understanding why Hera had erupted with such intense fury.

However, as it turned and caught sight of what had happened, it was startled and spun all its heads around, staring intently with a hundred pairs of eyes at the bare apple tree, full of disbelief.

After a moment, the hundred heads couldn’t help but howl in unison, “Who? Who has stolen the golden apples?”

Panic-stricken, it wondered who could have stealthily taken the golden apples under its vigilant duty, and even caused such damage to the apple tree?

If there had been more time, it seemed likely that the Thief would have cut off all the branches of the apple tree, leaving nothing but a bare trunk.

The hundred-headed giant dragon roared with indignant rage, eager to vent its anger, when suddenly, a flash of Spirit Light crossed its mind.

No, how did I fall asleep just now?

Right, I had fallen asleep after drinking too much.

In an instant, it thought of the two guards who had brought the fine wine earlier, and then…

…

Mount Olympus was thrown into chaos.

Squads of troops left the Divine Mountain and spread out in all directions in pursuit.

Each squad had at least a dozen beings at the Demigod Realm, and they were ordered to hunt down the two Demigod servants who had stolen the Golden Apples. Sёarch* The nôvel_Fire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Additionally, powerful presences could be seen leaving the Divine Mountain and heading toward the eastern frontlines.

These were the deities tasked with guarding Mount Olympus.

The Heavenly Empress was furious, causing all gods to tremble.

As a result, many deities volunteered to go out and attempt to capture the two Daoist Thieves who had stolen the Golden Apples to vent the Heavenly Empress’s anger!

They already knew that the two culprits who had stolen the Golden Apples must be outsiders, invaders from another world.

After all, the means by which the thief had set up the Illusion Array clearly did not belong to this world; although the array had shattered under Hera’s gaze, some clues could still be discerned from the remnants.

However, while these deities were in hot pursuit of the two thieves, many harbored other thoughts.

Whether they would actually bring the culprits back upon capture was uncertain.

After all, the benefits of the Golden Apples were immense—if they were to secretly slay the two thieves and hoard all the Golden Apples for themselves to enhance their own divine powers, wouldn’t that be even better?

In fact, more than just one or two deities entertained such ideas; this was tied to the overall chaos within the divine hierarchy.

Whether through bloodline or various relationships, due to the indiscretions among the gods, the prestige and authority of the Divine King and Heavenly Empress were indirectly affected—although no one dared to rebel against them, their authority was inadvertently taken lightly, leading many deities to have their own agendas.

However, after most deities heard from the gateway that the thieves had headed east, they all rushed towards the east, with only a few clever ones probing in other directions.

…

Qin Feng and his companion didn’t pause at all along the way, and after several changes in their path, they were already a million miles away from the Divine Mountain.

Having fled for so long, they felt that they should be safe by now, and they were both a bit tired from continuous flying. Qin Feng summoned the White Dragon, had it carry them forward, and he and Li Miaozhen sat on the White Dragon’s back to rest for the moment.

“Giggle giggle…”

Suddenly, a seductive laugh echoed.

Though the sound was quite normal, it somehow resonated in their ears with an inherent sultriness that seemed to seep into their bones.

“Who’s there?”

Both hearts raced with shock as they quickly stood up to look toward the direction of the sound.

They then saw a scantily clad and enchanting goddess emerging from beneath the setting sun.

The crimson sunset cast her in an extraordinary beauty, such that a blush seemed to spread across her fair skin.

Although many other goddesses were also scantily dressed, seeing one who covered only the barest with a piece of cloth was rare.

Moreover, the cloth fluttered in the wind, with her full bust and mysterious areas occasionally visible—such openness truly broadened Qin Feng’s horizons!

However, upon sensing a fierce gaze from Li Miaozhen beside him, he immediately averted his eyes and seriously said to Li Miaozhen, “Senior Sister, there’s something strange about this woman!”

“What’s strange?”

Li Miaozhen asked, somewhat puzzled.

“She has a force on her that seductively attracts one’s gaze, causing an irresistible urge to fixate on her, mired in obsession and unable to extricate oneself. If it weren’t for Senior Sister’s exclamation that woke me, I might have suffered a great loss!”

“Really?”

Li Miaozhen’s doubtful gaze turned toward him, “I think you fell for it because the woman wasn’t wearing any clothes, right?”

“What kind of person do you take me for?”

Qin Feng exclaimed with righteousness, “This woman is clearly up to no good—how could I ever let myself be enchanted by mere physical beauty?

What’s more, after being accustomed to seeing a beauty like Senior Sister, how could I care about other women!

I was merely beguiled by her spell. If I’m not wrong, this woman must be the goddess of seduction, Philotes. Only she would dress this way, and she possesses a unique magic capable of disorienting one’s Daoist Heart!”

“Philotes?”

Li Miaozhen frowned upon hearing that name.

She had heard of this goddess’s name while on the Divine Mountain.

Among many male deities or Demigods, this goddess was extremely popular.

However, the two had never approached each other’s Divine Palaces while walking in the mountains; Qin Feng would even deliberately avoid her palace to prevent the goddess from seeing his handsome appearance and attempting to seduce him.

In this world, the private lives of deities were disorderly, which also influenced the realms below. Logically, if a Demigod caught the eyes of this goddess, they would only feel honored and would not refuse.

However, Qin Feng, who had maintained his chastity throughout his cultivation, had no desire to squander his accumulated Primordial Yang on the goddess Philotes.

After all, with Philotes’s widespread reputation, one could only imagine her private life, and Qin Feng had no intention of becoming one of her thousands of consorts.
