Chapter 1304: Heavenly Lord is Coming

Xiuhongsu and the white cat waited until the wind and waves had calmed. Just as they were about to return to the mining area, a strange light suddenly erupted deep within it once more.

"That Celestial Venerable Mu isn't dead yet!"

Xiuhongsu gritted her teeth, but there was nothing she could do.

She had already suffered losses three times in the Grand Beginning Mine and was now like a startled bird. The current eruption was so violent that even a being of her Emperor's Throne realm would likely face certain death if she ventured in.

"How did he survive?" she wondered, a mix of hatred and confusion in her heart.

The mine had erupted twice, each time more violently than the last. Even with her strength, she couldn't withstand it; at the epicenter, she would surely be assimilated without a chance to escape. How had Qin Mu survived such an eruption?

Suddenly, the white cat said, "Could it be that Celestial Venerable Mu actually found the primeval stone?"

Xiuhongsu's heart jolted.

She didn't know much about the primeval stone. She had seen it three times, but each time, just after laying eyes on it and letting greed take hold, she immediately realized she was about to be assimilated and had to flee for her life.

Whether the primeval stone could withstand the mine's eruption was merely her conjecture.

Not long after, the mine's second eruption finally subsided. Xiuhongsu bit her lower lip gently, muttering, "Surely Celestial Venerable Mu will finally settle down this time."

The mine's third eruption occurred, with light shooting straight into the sky, illuminating regions beyond the Ancestral Court. They even saw many Void Beasts clinging to the sky's dome, hanging upside down and curiously peering into the great rift above.

A curious Void Beast poked its head into the mine's pillar of light. With a swish, the beast recoiled, its head vanished, leaving nothing but an empty space above its thick neck.

The other Void Beasts scattered in terror.

Yet, the headless Void Beast was surprisingly not dead. It fled along with the other giant beasts, further terrifying them, causing them to scramble away in all directions.

"God King, I've always found it difficult to understand or see through you."

As Consort Yan and Ancestral God King searched for the whereabouts of Earth Mother Primordial Lord, they chatted lightheartedly. Consort Yan's eyes flickered as she said, "As the oldest God King and leader of the half-gods, it's natural for you to consider eliminating Celestial Venerable Heaven and taking his place. However, Celestial Venerable Heaven is your father after all. Can you truly bring yourself to kill him? Not only do I not understand or see through this, but I fear even Celestial Venerable Hao doesn't understand or see through you."

Ancestral God King waved his hand, and the stars in the sky flickered like countless eyes, helping him observe the movements in the Ancestral Court. He said indifferently, "Celestial Venerable Hao has already suffered severe injuries and can barely protect himself right now."

Consort Yan had also heard this news. Celestial Venerable Hao had fought a great battle with Grand Emperor, shattering the Primordial Realm. Qin Mu then seized the opportunity to strike ruthlessly, pursuing him for sixty thousand miles, and Celestial Venerable Hao barely escaped with his life. Although this matter was not openly broadcast, there are no airtight walls in the world, and the news still reached her ears.

"Just how powerful is Celestial Venerable Hao!"

With a faint smile, she said, "You don't suppose Celestial Venerable Hao was simply defeated like that and will never recover, do you?"

"Of course not. I am utterly impressed by Celestial Venerable Hao."

Ancestral God King sighed with emotion, saying, "What I admire most about him is his courage to join forces with Celestial Venerable Yun to eliminate his own father. To be frank, the reason I left Xuandu back then was that my father was too weak. He clearly foresaw the rise of the post-celestial beings in the future, who would inevitably target the ancient gods and half-gods, destroying their glory, yet he remained indifferent and refused to intervene in the slightest."

"My father has grown old. As Celestial Venerable Heaven, he doesn't intervene in anything in the world, striving to be fair and just. Heh, what fairness and justice can there be in this world? I want to change all of this!"

He looked up at the sky, his gaze deep. "Back then, from the moment Celestial Venerable Mu killed the first ancient god, I made up my mind to change all of this. I absolutely couldn't let these lowly beings steal the orthodox lineage of heaven and earth! I originally thought the ancient gods could join forces with the half-gods to eliminate these insects. However, to my disappointment, among the ancient gods, those willing to join me were all of little use, while the powerful ancient gods were all like my father. From that moment, I knew..."

He sneered, "Ancient gods and half-gods are not on the same path. Although half-gods were born of ancient gods, they are not the same race. Ancient gods will instead become obstacles to half-gods. We half-gods, back then, joined forces with the ancient gods to eliminate the Creators and seize the orthodox lineage of the world. This glory does not solely belong to the ancient gods. Since ancient gods do not contend, then let power belong to the half-gods! Therefore, I made up my mind that whoever blocks my path, even my own father, must be eliminated!"

He smiled faintly, "My father is old; he should abdicate and yield to the worthy. If he doesn't, then he will simply have to die in office."

Consort Yan chuckled, and just as she was about to speak, she suddenly looked up at the sky, seeing a pillar of light wildly blasting upwards.

Her expression changed slightly.

Ancestral God King also looked there, asking in doubt, "Consort Yan, Your Highness, that seems to be your territory."

Consort Yan nodded, her expression shifting uneasily.

Ancestral God King's eyes flickered as he smiled, "Congratulations, Your Highness! It seems your mine has produced a great treasure. Among the five great mines in the Ancestral Court, there are five types of primeval stones. Grand Emperor obtained one, dominating the universe for billions of years. Now Your Highness has also obtained one, and your future status is secure."

Consort Yan snorted, a little irritated, yet she saw the light virtualize the sky, nullifying the seals of the gods and completely connecting the Ancestral Court with the outside world.

The light dissipated.

Consort Yan composed herself and thought, "To cause such a huge commotion, it seems Celestial Venerable Mu found the primeval stone while I was absent and caused the mine to riot. A riot of this intensity, which even the seals created by the gods using the dark sides of various worlds cannot withstand, he certainly couldn't have resisted. He must have died in my mine!"

Just as she thought this, another pillar of light suddenly shot up into the sky, illuminating the horizon!

Consort Yan was stunned, and Ancestral God King was equally dumbfounded, muttering, "Your Highness, are there two primeval stones in that mine of yours?"

Consort Yan didn't answer, but suddenly flew away, her heart filled with raging fury. "That Celestial Venerable Mu isn't dead; instead, he's causing chaos in my mine!"

Just as she set off, the Grand Beginning Mine's third riot erupted.

Consort Yan's expression grew even gloomier, and she gritted her teeth. "Does he think this is his own home? If there's even the slightest damage to the mine, I'll take you and use you to fill the Return Ruins Sea Eye, making you suffer the same fate as God King Boyang!"

Ancestral God King's heart stirred slightly. "Consort Yan is rushing over so anxiously; it seems something significant has happened in her mine. Perhaps someone snuck into her mine and found that primeval stone?"

He was about to follow when he suddenly felt something and looked up at the sky. Where the Ancestral Court's seal had been broken, a thousand-mile-wide hole had appeared.

Through that great hole, one could see beyond the heavens, where the stars shone brightly, forming a snow-white eyeball.

The eyeball was enormous; even the thousand-mile-wide hole could not contain its pupil. At that moment, the pupil was pressed against the edge of the hole, gazing intently at the Ancestral Court.

The Ancestral Court's seal had been broken, allowing Celestial Venerable Heaven to finally see the Ancestral Court, and even enter it!

From beyond the heavens, streaks of starlight shone down through the great hole.

"Father!"

Ancestral God King stopped, his gaze meeting Celestial Venerable Heaven's. His heart went on alert, and he abandoned the idea of tracking Consort Yan. "Celestial Venerable Heaven has arrived. Then has Earth Count also arrived at the Ancestral Court? Damn it, who exactly triggered this mine riot?!"
