635 Mutants of South Sea (1/2)

When Qin Mu walked out of Hall of Human Emperors, the sky was dark. The stars above him twinkled as he let out a pent-up breath. He didn't leave immediately. Instead, he found a huge rock and sat on it.

He fell into a daze. Even though he had finally let out his anger by beating up First Ancestor Human Emperor, there was still something gnawing away in his mind.

'Maybe if I beat him up once more, it can undo this thing that's gnawing at me... Even the orbit of the stars in this fake sky is slightly messed up. The gods controlling the aspect of the celestial bodies are becoming sloppier and sloppier!'

He stared with his eyes wide open. He looked at the messed up aspect of the celestial bodies as the eastern sky slowly lightened up. After a moment, the stars in the sky scattered in all directions like running horses. He thought to himself, ”Sun Sovereign controls the sun in the aspect of celestial bodies, but now that he was slain by Grandpa Butcher of our village, there is no one left to control the sun in the sky. The other gods must be panicking and scrambling.”

The stars in the sky were messy for a short while. When the sun rose up in the east, the sunlight covered up the messy aspect of the celestial bodies, so they no longer looked messed up.

Qin Mu quietly sat on the rock and sneered at the stars that had just been concealed. When the sun rose up from the horizon, its path was also slightly crooked. Because of this, it looked like a kite that was being flown, swaying left and right from time to time.

This kind of situation became apparent after the death of Sun Sovereign. The other gods that were controlling the sun now weren't too familiar with regards to how to control the sun. As a result, more mistakes could be spotted.

Sun Sovereign went to Supreme Emperor Heaven with Qi Jiuyi to find Qin Mu, only to meet Butcher, his old nemesis. As a result, he was slain by Butcher. After his death, there was no god that could control the Sun Formation in Eternal Peace's aspect of the celestial bodies. The sun should have been taken over by other gods, but since they weren't trained, mistakes were everywhere.

Eternal Peace's aspect of the celestial bodies was formed by formations. It was the same for the sun, moon, and stars. The gods that were in charge of these formations definitely had their own responsibilities, so for them to suddenly take over Sun Sovereign's star diagram naturally made them flustered, and they couldn't handle the task immediately.

Qin Mu saw the sun gradually rising in the sky. It finally stabilized, but it was still swaying left and right. The sunlight radiated in all directions to light up the southern border and South Sea in a variety of colors that were charming and dazzling.

Suddenly, the gate of Hall of Human Emperors appeared once again, and First Ancestor Human Emperor walked out from inside.

Qin Mu turned his head and looked at him before turning his head back to continue looking at the sunrise.

First Ancestor Human Emperor hesitated for a moment. He didn't leave. Instead, he walked to the bottom of the rock and sat down.

First Ancestor Human Emperor stared at the sun for a while and cried out, ”This sun— It's unbearable to look at!”

Qin Mu originally wanted to keep a straight face and ignore him, but he got amused by what he heard. ”Just bear with it. That Sun Sovereign who controls the formation of this sun had been slain by my Grandpa Butcher.”

”I see.”

First Ancestor Human Emperor said, ”I've met that Sun Sovereign before. When the aspect of Eternal Peace's celestial bodies was covered up, I saw them unfolding a screen across the sky and hung up the sun, moon, and the stars. It has also been hard on him, to have faked it for twenty thousand years.”

He looked at Qin Mu and his tone dropped lower. ”I'm sorry...”

Qin Mu was slightly stunned and he said with a smile, ”Why are you apologizing to me? I've beaten you up, so I should be the one to apologize to you.”

First Ancestor Human Emperor shook his head. ”I had originally wanted to be your teacher and teach you all of my abilities and comprehension. But I've thought things through after you left. I have already harmed so many human emperors to have a lonely and bitter life, I couldn't do the same to you too. You should choose your own path. I was wrong for wanting to make you walk my path.”

Qin Mu bit his lips as he pressed them together into a thin line. After a short while, he opened up his arms and stretched his back. ”I hated you very much and wanted to beat you to death. But I can only defeat you on the same realm and I can't kill you. Besides, after beating you up this time, the hatred in my heart is no longer as intense.”

His expression was calm and he said insipidly, ”Maybe you wanted to test me, maybe you wanted to encourage me, to make me work harder and surpass you. Whatever the case, I hold your methods in contempt.”

First Ancestor was slightly stunned and cried out, ”You saw through it?”

”I'm not stupid.”

Qin Mu focused his gaze on the sun and said softly, ”However, if I were in your shoes, I wouldn't use such a dumb and bad method to encourage the juniors. I won't even destroy the hard work of my family and destroy the corpses of my family. But you did all those. You are indeed an army deserter. I hold your character in contempt, so I chose not to learn your technique and divine arts.”

First Ancestor Human Emperor was silent. After a moment, he asked, ”Who are the people that had taught you? They have taught you well.”

Qin Mu was in high spirits as his face revealed a look of respect. ”They are the best people in the world, the kindest people in the world. They are wise, upright, and have broad minds! As a human, they surpassed you a hundred to a thousand times! Do you know Village Chief? He is also the previous human emperor, the one that got beaten up by Grand-master Qi Kang and the rest of the ancestors every day. He is the number one elder in our village! I admire his knowledge the most. If it wasn't for him and his discovery that I have the overlord body, I might still be herding cows in Great Ruins at this moment. There's also Granny Si, the most beautiful and kindest woman in the village. She was the one who had picked me up and raised me...”

When it comes to the villagers, his words couldn't help flowing out as he talked endlessly about their good points.

First Ancestor Human Emperor listened quietly. He only smiled and nodded after Qin Mu was finished. ”They have taught you well indeed. You are also very good.”

Qin Mu was taken aback and kept quiet. He was bewildered. 'Why did I tell him so much? I should be hating him.'

”You are from Qin family and I'm also from Qin family. You should just treat me as a senior from the same family.”

First Ancestor Human Emperor seemed to know what he was thinking. He continued, ”Now that you are facing a family member, you should have a lot of things you want to say. You must have not met any clansmen for a long time, right?”

Qin Mu nodded. Looking at this human emperor, he asked curiously, ”What's your name?”

”Qin Wu.”

Qin Mu took out the family register of Qin family and flipped through in detail. He found Qin Wu's name and was awestruck at what he had seen—he was already an ancestor of a hundred generations ago.
