Chapter 484: Kua E

Translator:Editor:

A five-thousand-meter tall god descended from the sky, seeming nearly as enormous as the main peak of Yao Mountain.

This god was with a green face and ferocious fangs, and in between his eyebrows, a silhouette of a mountain could be faintly seen. A pair of gigantic yellow boa coiled around his arms while a dense cloud was treading under his feet, swiftly spinning. Seen from a distance, this God looked just like a devil that came from an ancient legend, that seemed to snatch a handful of living human beings and directly throw them into his own mouth anytime.

Earl Yao’s people were all freaked out by this horrifying-looking God. Some faint-hearted elderly men had even blacked out because of the fear.

Seeing his people fall into chaos, Ji Hao hurriedly raised his pair of arms, wielded and said, “This is Kua E, a divine God. I invited him especially for helping us to build the city. You shall not be afraid, just return to your homes and do what you have to do.”

Ji Hao’s voices resounded across the entire space, such that they all felt that Ji Hao was speaking right beside their ears, wherever those people were. Meanwhile, Ji Hao cast a magic which was taught by Yu Yu and could settle people’s minds and dispel effects caused by all kinds of outer negative energies. Therefore, everyone who heard Ji Hao talking showed a warm smile, light-heartedly kowtowed to the altar on the mountaintop, turned around and headed back home.

Looking at Kua E who was nearly as big as the entire Yao Mountain, Ji Hao silently gasped in admiration then cupped his hands, saluted and said, “I am Earl Yao, Ji Hao. May I ask, dear big God, are you Kua E?”

Kua E waved his hands, grinned and responded, “Earl Yao, no need to be too polite. How can we be counted as big gods? Now we’re just laborers doing part-time jobs for your humankind. Big gods, big gods… there’s no reason to call us that now. We don’t want to humiliate our ancestors.”

Clicking his lips, Kua E reached his hands onto the mountaintop. Lying on the mountaintop were twenty to thirty thousand large livestock which had just been presented to mysterious beings living in this area as blood offerings. Kua E grabbed hundreds of sturdy bulls with a single hand then conveniently threw them into his mouth, chewed for a few times and swallowed.

Ji Hao stared at him in shock. Unreservedly, Kua E’s pair of hands swiftly reached to the mountaintop like raindrops, grabbing that livestock up and throwing into his mouth. Within ten minutes, those, twenty to thirty thousand large bulls and chubby lambs were all eaten up.

In the end, Kua E reached his huge tongue out, licked through the mountains from the top to the sides, licking the blood on the mountain completely up. Even some soil and moss were swallowed by him along with all the blood.

“Big God, you do have a good appetite!” Ji Hao paused for quite a while in shock, then praised a bit embarrassedly.

Ji Hao couldn’t help but start to hate the minister sent over by Emperor Shun who suggested him to invite Kua E to build the city for Yao Mountain. With such a sky-devouring appetite, how much livestock would he eat during the construction period for the city?

“Well, half-replete!” Kua E patted on his own belly, which was not out of shape at all, and said while looking at Ji Hao with a simple and honest smile, “Forgive my rude table manners, Earl Yao. Lately, we didn’t get too many orders, and I haven’t been on short commons for a long while. Eh, the heaven is so cold and cheerless now, you can probably even see a ghost during the daytime, and it’s quite hard to find enough to eat up there now.”

Ji Hao looked at Kua E without knowing what to say. Later, he squeezed out a grin and asked, “Is life in heaven truly that difficult now?”

Heaven, the Heaven. Back in the era of the three ancient human emperors, the heaven was the core of this world. The five heaven Gods overawed all living beings with their powers, while ancient divine Gods mostly had won universal praise and left many legends. However, judging by Kua E’s current situation, the heaven seemed to have fallen quite miserably.

Slightly embarrassed, Kua E rubbed his own nose, laughed and said, “Difficult, very difficult…Okay, enough for small talks. So, Earl Yao, you said you’re going to build a city, what kind of city do you want?”
