Chapter 973: A Beauty Washes Her Shoulder (Third Update!)
Qin Mu’s heart pounded wildly. According to Mother Earth, the Primordial Chaos Source Liquid was a peculiar pool of water in which she had rooted herself to nourish her tendrils. This water was like liquid light, incredibly agile, and brimming with energy.
It was by relying on the Primordial Chaos Source Liquid that Mother Earth, an ancient god, had awakened her intelligence and become a deity!
He never expected that the Creators of the Other Shore would also possess this Primordial Chaos Source Liquid!
The Silkworm Girl said, “The Primordial Chaos Source Liquid was originally water from a pool in the Ancestral Court. It was very beautiful. Later, all the races came to take it, using it to water their sacred artifacts, and gradually it dwindled. I heard that when our entire race migrated back then, they took all the Source Liquid from the pool. Then they lived off their reserves, depleting it until now, when very little remains. You are the Sacred Infant. If you want some, go find the God King. The remaining Source Liquid is all with her.”
She looked around furtively and whispered, “If you manage to get some Source Liquid, give me a little. My Seven Souls Grass is sick and has been listless.”
Qin Mu nodded repeatedly.
The Silkworm Girl was very happy. She rode a large white silkworm and flew off, continuing to prepare for the grand ritual.
“I forgot to ask her how the battle went.”
Qin Mu walked toward the Green Feather Hall, thinking to himself, “If I ask God King Langwo, she should tell me as well. Speaking of which, the Creator race is extremely ancient. They must have an abundance of heavenly treasures and earthly rarities, filthy rich! Primordial Chaos Source Liquid, Primordial Divine Stone, Primordial Origin Stone—these treasures that are hard to find in later ages, they all have them. They probably have other extremely valuable treasures too! Since I am the Sacred Infant, then these treasures…”
The Green Feather Hall was actually a hall with wings. On both sides of the hall grew a pair of fleshy wings covered in green feathers, capable of flapping and flying through the sky.
Such peculiar architecture was almost impossible to see in the outside world, but in the Creators’ Other Shore realm, there were many similar buildings.
For example, Creators would visualize buildings with legs and feet for easy migration, or plants with ox bodies and tree crowns, relying on growing more leaves to absorb solar energy to grow flesh.
Qin Mu arrived before the Green Feather Hall and carefully examined the two large wings. He saw that where the wings connected to the hall, flesh, metal, and stone were perfectly fused together, which amazed him.
“The God King invites the Sacred Infant into the hall.” The phoenix at the door shook its feathers and said to Qin Mu.
Qin Mu thanked it and followed the phoenix into the hall.
The Green Feather Hall was extremely tall, wide, and spacious. Walking inside made one feel incredibly small, inevitably inspiring awe.
Qin Mu, however, was accustomed to the grand architecture of the Creators. He quickened his pace to follow the colorful phoenix. What surprised him was that God King Langwo was not receiving him in the front hall; the phoenix led him toward the back hall.
The hall was truly enormous. Qin Mu followed the phoenix for a while without reaching the back hall.
“Sister, why haven’t you transformed, changed into a human form?” Qin Mu asked.
The colorful phoenix tilted its head, its feathers resplendent, and asked curiously, “Change into a human form? You mean change into the form of a Creator?”
Qin Mu thought for a moment and nodded. Creators were actually no different in appearance from humans, just taller, with an extra diamond-shaped vertical eye on their foreheads.
The colorful phoenix shook its head and said, “I was visualized into existence. I cannot cultivate, so I cannot achieve what you call transformation. When I was visualized, I was bound by my own power.”
Qin Mu’s mind buzzed. He shook his head and said, “Sister, could you say that again?”
The colorful phoenix repeated herself, saying, “Bound by my own power, it’s very difficult to change. I cannot open my divine hideouts, nor can I use divine consciousness to cultivate. However, I can continuously increase the power of the Nirvana Sacred Flame within me.”
Qin Mu was dazed and muttered, “This form of yours… it’s so similar to the ancient gods, so similar…”
“The God King is up ahead.”
The phoenix led him to the back hall. Qin Mu saw God King Langwo by a pool, scooping up water to wash the wounds on her body. The strap on her shoulder was undone; her shoulder was injured, revealing a long bloody gash. It must have been inflicted by the Kai Emperor.
Her long hair cascaded like a waterfall, and the pool shimmered with rippling light. This scene made Qin Mu hold his breath.
Then, Qin Mu’s breathing quickened. The water in that pool was entirely Primordial Chaos Source Liquid!
Such a huge pool!
The pool was relative to the Creators. To Qin Mu, it was a lake, an entire lake filled with Primordial Chaos Source Liquid!
He felt like rushing over and jumping straight into the pool!
“The Sacred Infant is not yet three years old, yet his heart pounds so violently just from seeing a woman’s shoulder?” God King Langwo noticed his arrival, lifted her clothes to cover her shoulder, tilted her head, and asked with a smile.
Qin Mu struggled to tear his gaze away from the pool, then, as if possessed, glanced at it again.
God King Langwo then realized that what made this boy’s heart pound wildly was not her, but the pool of water. Her expression turned strange. She waved her hand, dismissing the phoenix, and said, “Sacred Infant, please follow me.”
Qin Mu followed behind her, constantly turning his head to look back. That pool of Primordial Chaos Source Liquid shimmered with captivating light, so alluring.
God King Langwo took a few steps, and her body gradually shrank until she was about the same height as him. Her long hair fell over her shoulders, very dark and glossy, as if she had just washed it and it wasn’t completely dry yet.
“Was this head of hair also washed with Primordial Chaos Source Liquid?”
Qin Mu was immensely envious. “Primordial Chaos Source Liquid is wonderful. I wish I had such a large pool of it too.”
God King Langwo’s long dress covered her feet. As she walked ahead, Qin Mu could vaguely see her two feet from behind. She wore no shoes, walking barefoot. Her feet appeared and disappeared, delicate and beautiful.
“These feet must have been soaked in Primordial Chaos Source Liquid too, right? So pretty!” Qin Mu turned his head to look back at the pool of Primordial Chaos Source Liquid, thinking to himself.
God King Langwo stopped walking, and Qin Mu almost bumped into her. He quickly halted.
God King Langwo gave a faint, ambiguous smile and said, “The Sacred Infant seems more interested in that pool of water. Men like you are quite rare. In the past, when I wasn’t yet the God King, the male Creators in my tribe would look at me with improper intentions, using all sorts of creative ways to court me. It wasn’t until I became the God King that they put away their little schemes. But you are more interested in that pool of water.”
Qin Mu probed, “If I were interested in the God King, what would you do?”
“Naturally, I would cut you off.”
God King Langwo made a downward cutting gesture with her hand and explained softly, “Sever your root of trouble. You are only three years old, yet you have wild thoughts. How can you still be the Sacred Infant? If I cut you, you will devote all your energy to enlightenment and cultivation, only then can you lead our race’s revival and take revenge on the Supreme Emperor.”
Qin Mu was startled. He said seriously, “God King, that is precisely why I prefer that pool of water. I am only three years old. Even though the God King is so beautiful and moving, I have no improper thoughts.”
God King Langwo revealed a slight smile and continued walking forward, saying softly, “You don’t need to be afraid. As long as you act for the good of our race, I won’t do anything to you. After all, you are indeed the Sacred Infant from the prophecy.”
Qin Mu quickened his pace to catch up with her and asked with concern, “God King, you are injured? Is it serious? Who hurt you? I am also skilled in medicine. If you don’t mind, you can remove your clothes, and I will help treat your wounds.”
“In the Other Shore realm, the only one who can injure me is the Kai Emperor, Qin Ye.”
God King Langwo said, “Although he injured me, he didn’t fare well either. After returning this time, he will have to lie in bed for several days to recover. As for my injury, you cannot heal it. Only this pool water can cure it.”
She looked somewhat despondent and said, “But this pool water will eventually run out. When that happens, if I am injured again, there will be no cure.”
Qin Mu hesitated, unsure whether he should ask for some Primordial Chaos Source Liquid.
“If you like, you can take some yourself later.”
God King Langwo seemed to see through his thoughts and said, “This pool water was never mine. It belongs to all the tribespeople. I merely took it for myself. You are the Sacred Infant; you can also use the pool water.”
Qin Mu thanked her.
God King Langwo said, “You came to see me, not to ask about my injuries, nor to seek guidance or have me teach you divine consciousness techniques. Your real purpose is merely to probe and ask about the Kai Emperor Qin Ye’s injuries.”
Qin Mu’s heart tightened.
God King Langwo parted the flowers and willows as she walked forward, saying, “You share a blood relation with Qin Ye. I can feel that the blood in your body is related to his divine blood. The reason you came to the Other Shore realm was not to find us Creators living in seclusion here, but to find him.”
She stopped walking, turned around, and looked at Qin Mu, saying, “You stumbled into becoming the Sacred Infant of the Creators. You saw it as an opportunity, so you chose to stay and did not leave with Qin Ye.”
Her expression was calm. Qin Mu carefully studied her face but could not discern what thoughts lay hidden beneath that beautiful countenance.
“Correct. The Kai Emperor came to find me. After I refused him, he left in anger and fought with you.”
Qin Mu said frankly, “To be honest, I hold a very high status in the outside world. I entered the Grand Void this time indeed to find the Land of No Worries. I never expected that by chance, I would instead end up among the enemies of the Land of No Worries, let alone that I would become the Sacred Infant. But what surprised me most is that God King Langwo is so beautiful and so intelligent. How does the God King plan to deal with me?”
God King Langwo turned around again and continued walking, saying, “You are the Sacred Infant. Why would I deal with you? Only when you endanger my race will I eliminate you and create another Sacred Infant.”
Qin Mu shuddered.
Just then, he felt a familiar aura calling out to him. He couldn’t help but quicken his pace.
God King Langwo laughed and said, “You can feel it?”
Qin Mu resisted the urge to follow the temptation and asked doubtfully, “What is ahead?”
“The Primordial Origin Stone, also known as the First Spirit Realm.”
God King Langwo continued walking forward and laughed, “Ahead is the entrance to the First Spirit Realm.”
Qin Mu followed her, and the summoning grew stronger and stronger.
“The Creators who built the Other Shore realm brought some fragments of the Primordial Origin Stone. These fragments were originally embedded in the Supreme Emperor’s forehead but were later shattered. They collected some of the fragments.”
Light shone from ahead. God King Langwo walked toward the light and said, “After they opened up the Other Shore realm, their power was exhausted, and they couldn’t even preserve their souls. Knowing their end was near, they merged with the fragments of the Primordial Origin Stone, transforming into the First Spirit Realm.”
Qin Mu saw a crack in spacetime appear ahead. The light came from within the crack. The crack was diamond-shaped, like the vertical eye on a Creator’s forehead.
Moreover, this vertical eye was slowly growing larger.
“The First Spirit Realm is hidden in the deepest part of the Other Shore realm. When we Creators die, our divine consciousness is drawn and enters it.”
God King Langwo said, “Our Creator race has experienced several extinction events and struggled to survive. The First Spirit Realm is the last resort to protect our heritage. However, this grand ritual requires you to enter the First Spirit Realm in your true body, so we must summon it forth.”
She looked at Qin Mu seriously and said, “You have two days. In these two days, you must prepare your words to move the First Spirits. Otherwise, you will die there. This is the final trial for you to become the Sacred Infant.”
— The third update has arrived. Today, I wrote three chapters totaling 10,500 words. It’s been a long time since I’ve had a burst of writing, and on top of that, I have a cold. By the end, I was feeling dizzy and my brain couldn’t take it anymore. Tomorrow, I will try my best to continue the burst. After midnight, it’s double monthly ticket time. I beg everyone to prepare two tickets for Zhai Zhu. Thank you!
Double monthly ticket time has arrived! Begging for monthly tickets!
It’s double monthly ticket time again.
Begging for monthly tickets!
Zhai Zhu’s original plan was to have a burst of writing for most of this month, but man plans and heaven laughs. This month has been quite busy, with two meetings.
There has been basically no time to rest. Even during meetings, I didn’t forget to write, typing away on high-speed trains and in hotels, traveling long distances. The exhaustion finally made me sick.
However, the number of words updated each day has been very high, averaging over 7,000 words per day. Accumulated over time, it’s quite impressive.
I promised a burst at the end of the month. My body isn’t fully recovered yet, but Zhai Zhu will do his best to keep his word!
Double monthly ticket time has arrived. I beg for my brothers’ monthly ticket support!
Ling Xiao secretly swallowed a mouthful of saliva, thinking to himself that this Xiao Xiang was indeed unpredictable, fine one day and not the next.
“Mr. Zhao has honored us with your presence. What have you taken a liking to? I’ll give you half price!” The arrival of Zhao Tiezhu made the shop owner extremely excited.
Speaking of this Young Master Luo, he was indeed a legendary figure. Since he went to North America, within three years, he had rapidly developed and expanded the Luo family. This young master of the Luo family quickly became one of the hottest new business elites of the time, famous worldwide.
Chongming Zhenren was almost angered to death by him, but seeing this Law Enforcement Elder with a face full of blood, looking utterly miserable, he couldn’t be too harsh.
Su Qinghan said nothing, as if his behavior today was merely to make Su Ranran vent through crying, with no intention of explaining.
The scar-faced man was a hardened veteran who had been through many battles. Although he had seen many bloody scenes and had seen dead people before, seeing a corpse with its facial features so cruelly dismembered still made him cover his mouth and step back several paces.
Shen Zhizhi knew that he still wanted to keep him, whether it was the man or herself. Even though this child came at such an inopportune time, they were both looking forward to it.
But when they walked further, Ye Youyao suddenly noticed that Su Jinyi’s expression was off again. Even more, he could clearly feel that the palm of Su Jinyi’s hand, which he was holding, was covered in fine cold sweat.
Ling Ze and the others were astonished, then could only smile at each other and sigh in amazement.
Or rather, Yao Chi had inadvertently triggered a prohibition he had set, a prohibition specifically set for Yao Chi.
“Thank you very much, everyone!” After saying this, Miku left the stage. The audience applauded again, shouting Miku’s name.
A large hand formed purely from demonic energy firmly grasped the demon lord, whose cultivation was comparable to a Primordial Chaos expert. Countless tentacle-like demonic energies penetrated into the demon lord’s body, and large, turbulent streams of black light within the demon lord were absorbed by the demonic hand through those tentacles.
The three of them circled around a patch of strange rocks and arrived at a spacious, compass-shaped open area. This place was even more peculiar, with black rocks polished to a mirror-like shine, flawless.
Gongsun Yazu looked at Li Sandou with considerable surprise. Although the Profligate Family’s business had not yet reached the Upper Heavens, the name of the Profligate Family was already known to many in the Upper Heavens.
Moreover, not much time had passed since the last war with the demon race. How could they have forgotten the ferocity and brutality of the demons?
Sure enough, after hearing so many big shots plead for Xiao Qing, Mao Renfeng’s face also turned pale. This was no longer just a simple case of Xiao Qing possibly being a spy; if these people made a fuss, it could easily become a political incident.
Hao Yan’s work had been exceptionally busy in the past two days. She was almost never idle when she got to the station, either out on news assignments or in the office organizing news drafts.
Speaking of which, Teacher, you’re enough. I’ve at least created a robot army. This little thing is completely beneath me.
But what he didn’t expect was that the first person he met after all that trouble was the murderer of his benefactor’s son.
Who was Xiao Zifeng? It seemed he had been too good to Xiao Ziyue, giving her such ideas.
