Qin Mu's thoughts were in a mess.
Qin Hanzhen, Qin Fengqing?
The genealogy he had obtained in the study had recorded the people of Founding Emperor's bloodline. On the last page of the genealogy, it was written: "One hundred and seventh generation, son of Hanzhen, Fengqing."
Qin Fengqing was the son of Qin Hanzhen.
Then what did that weird thing that was swimming down from the tree mean?
Who was she calling Qin Hanzhen?
Who was the Qin Fengqing she was talking about?
Qin Mu's body trembled, and his face was drained of all color. He was Qin Fengqing, and the man in the tree was Qin Hanzhen!
The last person in the genealogy of Founding Emperor Qin was him, and this man in the tree was his father!
Was this man that had fused with the ancient tree his father? Was this the family he yearned for day and night?
His closest kin!
How did he become like this?
Qin Mu kept telling himself to remain calm. Old Ma had once told him that no matter what he faced, he should remain calm even if the sky collapsed. As long as he was rational, he could find a way out even if he met a calamity that could wipe out the world or a dangerous situation that was certain death.
Cripple had also once told him to maintain a smile and be optimistic at all times. It wasn't just to numb the enemy, it was also to let his heart be bright. Even if one of his legs was chopped off, he had to reveal his most honest smile. Only then would he have a chance to escape.
Madam Si had also once told him that even if there was darkness in his heart and a devil, he had to be strong. If he panicked, everything would be over.
However, even if Qin Mu knew that danger was close at hand, he couldn't remain calm.
His father, the closest kin he had never met, had become like this. He couldn't do what Old Ma, Madam Si, and Cripple had said.
Qin Mu tried his best to calm his mind and not think about the man in the tree. He didn't care about him and suppressed the trembling of his body.
Suddenly, he felt pain in his palms, and he unconsciously clenched his fists. His fingernails had already pierced deeply into his palms, and fresh blood dripped down his palm lines.
Qin Mu raised his head and looked at the mysterious being that was swimming down from the tree.
The thing that swam down from the tree was half snake and half human. Its body was huge. Although its lower body was a snake, it did not have any scales. Its upper body was that of a woman, a very beautiful and enchanting woman. However, the voice it emitted was that of a man.
Wherever she swam, there would be mucus dripping down. It was very similar to when Qin Mu transformed into Saturn Sovereign. However, the difference was that her Saturn Sovereign form was more primitive.
There was something like a membrane on the back of her neck. When she spoke, the membrane opened up like two open fans stuck on both sides of her neck. They were higher than her head and vibrated continuously.
She didn't seem to be able to speak. Instead, she relied on the fleshy membrane at the back of her neck to vibrate. Therefore, the sound she made was very strange and obscure.
The fleshy membrane should be her vocal cords. There were bone spikes that were over two feet long at the tip, and they were like javelins. When they opened up, two black eyeball patterns would appear on the fleshy membrane. They were like two strange eyes staring at you.
According to what Qin Mu knew, there were two forms of Saturn Sovereign. One was the pure form of Saturn Sovereign without the Gate of Heaven Influence or the scroll in her hand. The other was Qin Mu's, with the Gate of Heaven Influence behind her and the scroll in her hand.
Meanwhile, the strange lifeform in front of him had an even more primitive form. It didn't look like she had cultivated it, but like she was born this way.
This was a Youdu lifeform, and she could even be a god!
She wasn't the same person as the owner of the two eyes that were two hundred and sixty-four yards apart.
"You and I have a promise, Qin Hanzhen."
She swam to the bottom of the tree and coiled around it. Her charming face leaned against the face of the man in the tree, and their ears rubbed against each other. The fleshy membrane at the back of her head vibrated, and she gave off a sound. She smiled and said, "You and I have a Pact of Earth Count. As long as you find your son called Fengqing, you will put down everything and follow me to Youdu to hand over the location of Carefree Village. Now that you have found your son, your wish has been fulfilled. It's time for you to fulfill your promise. "
The man in the tree didn't move, and his gaze was still on Qin Mu. His corporeal body had turned into wood, and his eyes couldn't see the person in front of him clearly. Tears fell from his half-wooded eyes.
That strange lifeform's long body circled around the ancient tree for over a week. She left the man in the tree and swam around leisurely. Her voice reverberated around the tree, drifting erratically. "Back then when you barged into Youdu and broke the barrier of the seal, you were on your last breath. You fused with this divine tree and struggled at death's door. It was all because you wanted to see your son, so you tried your best to preserve your life. I came here to accompany you. You promised me that as long as you saw your son, you would put down everything. What life, what Carefree Village, you could abandon them all. You were willing to offer your soul to Earth Count and hand over the location of Carefree Village. I promised you that I wouldn't take your life. "
Her face suddenly hung down from the divine tree and landed in front of Qin Mu. Her huge body slowly turned and coiled around Qin Mu. Her fleshy membrane vibrated, and she gave off a weird laugh. "Could it be that you want to go back on your words after seeing your son? You want to see your son die in front of you? Hehehe, what a delicious body, what a young life. He's only sixteen, right? He must be fresh and juicy when eaten … "
Cold sweat broke out on Qin Mu's forehead, and he suddenly executed Overlord Body Three Elixir Technique. He executed Saturn Sovereign's Earth Marquis True Technique and transformed into the form of Saturn Sovereign. He said with a hoarse voice, "This senior, I'm also …"
