Chapter 1272: Weak Alliance

The woman's voice drifted over, saying softly, "Kneel before me, worship me, and speak your mind."

Haotian Zun struggled fiercely, then prostrated himself before the woman's feet and bowed down.

The moment he expressed his thoughts, he felt his injuries healing at an unimaginable speed!

The divine blood he had lost was flowing back into his body.

His body quickly became light and agile.

Flesh grew between his neck and head, quickly joining them together, so he no longer had to worry about his head being severed by excessive vitality.

At the same time, he heard the clear resonance of the Dao, felt his Celestial Palace reforming within him, and watched the Dao injuries on his body fade one by one, ceasing to exist!

This was truly wondrous.

This was not medical art, nor was it magic, neither creation techniques nor creation arts; it was more like a wondrous Dao healing him according to his will!

"Grand Purity?"

Qin Mu's voice reached Haotian Zun's ears, causing a slight stir in the heart of the kneeling Haotian Zun: "Grand Purity? My father is Grand Beginning, and this woman is Grand Purity. Could she be... could she be a primordial deity born from the ancestral court's ore veins?"

A trace of panic arose in his heart; using Grand Purity's power to resurrect clearly carried immense hidden dangers!

Grand Purity might seize this opportunity to control him!

However, he endured it. Recovering with Grand Purity's power might be terrible, but without it, things would only be worse, and he might even die!

"Heavenly Venerable Mu." The woman's voice came, pleasant and melodious, like the most profound divine music.

Qin Mu stopped and looked at the woman standing behind Haotian Zun.

The goddess stood there, flawless, with various colors of Dao light flowing around her like a dream. The Dao light gently spread, its encompassing range growing wider and wider.

Qin Mu drifted back, chuckling, "Grand Purity, Brother Grand Purity, don't forget, without me, you would never have been born. There's no enmity between us; in fact, I've shown you kindness. If I hadn't freed you from the Lapis Lazuli Azure Sky Banner, you would still be a treasure within it, to be manipulated!"

The Dao light suddenly enveloped Qin Mu, closing with a whoosh. Qin Mu's eyes twitched, and before the Dao light fully closed, he escaped from the Grand Void Underworld, arriving in the Grand Void. He chuckled, "Brother Grand Purity, I'm giving you face today, so I'll spare Haotian Zun's life. Brother Hao, I've left your life for you; I'll come back another day to take it!"

He appeared in the Grand Void, then was horrified to find that the Dao light was still around him!

Qin Mu's hair stood on end. The Dao light, formed from Grand Purity's Great Dao, was incredibly wondrous, and in the instant of his horror, it had already manifested as a divine object, inverted over his head!

It was a massive bell. When Qin Mu had previously probed the Grand Purity divine egg, his consciousness had entered the egg, seeing only primordial chaos, and the primordial qi had transformed into a great bell, identical to the one before him now!

On the bell's surface were carvings of birds, beasts, insects, fish, sun, moon, stars, galaxies, and all phenomena of heaven and earth, holding power akin to that of creation itself!

Qin Mu's hair stood on end. He immediately took out the Grand Primordium egg, and from his mouth came obscure and difficult-to-understand Grand Primordium Dao words: "Brother Grand Primordium, I don't care what dealings you have with Grand Purity, but as long as you help me escape this calamity, I will wholeheartedly search for the Grand Primordium divine stone and primordial stone, reclaim the Grand Primordium ore veins, and help you be born!"

"Why didn't you say so earlier?"

A long laugh came from the Grand Primordium egg, and above Qin Mu's head, the Grand Purity divine bell's power erupted with destructive force. Wherever the bell's sound passed, space ceased to exist, and everything turned to dust!

Countless Dao runes appeared on the Grand Primordium egg, as if countless ancient gods and all beings were simultaneously chanting the same name. A grand light met the bell's sound, supporting it and preventing it from falling.

The voice of the ancient god inside the Grand Primordium egg immediately echoed in Qin Mu's mind: "She has already been born, but I have not. I am no match for her. I can't block her for long, let's go!"

Qin Mu's face darkened. He had originally thought that the Grand Primordium egg could withstand Grand Purity's attacks, which was why he had made the promise to recover the Grand Primordium ore veins to help it be born.

He didn't expect this Grand Primordium to be all show and no substance!

He raised his hands high and, holding up the Grand Primordium egg, he bolted away.

The Grand Purity divine bell shattered the Dao light from the Grand Primordium egg, then immediately transformed into a massive cauldron. Beneath the cauldron, dense earth qi undulated, and as the cauldron spun, Qin Mu, who was fleeing, suddenly felt the heavens and earth revolving and twisting around him!

Although he was fleeing frantically, he was constantly being drawn into the cauldron!

"Grand Primordium!"

Qin Mu cried out, and more complex Dao patterns appeared on the surface of the Grand Primordium egg, rotating in reverse. From within the egg came obscure and profound Dao words: "Yin and Yang merge, becoming one, form arises from life, form without substance!"

The Grand Purity divine cauldron distorted the heavens and earth, space and time, but was impacted by the Great Dao overflowing from the Grand Primordium egg. Suddenly, the distortion of space-time ceased.

Qin Mu immediately seized the opportunity to escape.

"Brother Grand Primordium!"

Grand Purity's voice echoed from afar: "You and I once agreed to scheme great things together! Are you going back on your word now?"

Qin Mu ran wildly, holding the Grand Primordium egg high, and an obscure voice came from within the Grand Primordium egg, chuckling, "Brother Grand Purity, you were born before me; you are not perfect. I know your intentions; to restrain me, you would surely break my egg and force my premature birth. Our previous alliance was to counter Grand Beginning, but now there's no need. I want to ally with him!"

"If you ally with him, you make an enemy of me!" Grand Purity was furious.

The two stopped speaking.

Grand Purity knew that with Grand Primordium's intervention, it would be difficult to capture Qin Mu, so she stopped her pursuit.

Qin Mu fled repeatedly, holding the Grand Primordium egg high, escaping tens of thousands of miles at a time, only to see the divine demon armies of Wuyou Township and the Creators charging into the Heavenly Court's main camp. The divine demons on both sides were locked in fierce combat, making nowhere safe.

Qin Mu kept running; the battlefield was truly vast, with divine demons fighting and killing everywhere, giving him no leisure to stop.

After a long while, Qin Mu finally stopped, set down the Grand Primordium egg, placed his palm on the divine egg, and panted. There were fewer divine demons in this area; only some battlefield stragglers had fled here, and upon encountering stragglers from the enemy, they would again engage in combat.

"Take your hand off! You're pressing on my head!" A voice came from the egg.

Qin Mu quickly withdrew his hand and continued to pant.

Grand Primordium in the egg said, "Heavenly Venerable Mu, allying with you puts me at a disadvantage. For your sake, I've offended Grand Purity. Now that she's born, I'm no match for her. And you're no match for Haotian Zun. Both of us are very weak. I've taken a loss here, so you must compensate me!"

Qin Mu was stunned for a moment, then laughed aloud, "Are all ancient gods born from eggs this materialistic?"

Grand Primordium in the egg said, "Only Grand Ultimate can truly transcend. Which other ancient god was born normally? Disturbed by the mortal world, they gained a worldly heart. Therefore, I too cannot escape worldliness."

Qin Mu felt a little guilty and probed, "I wounded Haotian Zun so severely; even Grand Purity couldn't heal him in such a short time, could she?"

In his opinion, Haotian Zun was so gravely injured that he wouldn't recover for tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of years!

One must know that Heavenly Venerable Yue's injuries haven't healed even now, and Haotian Zun's injuries are only more severe than hers!
