Chapter 712 -714: Father of Thousands of Snakes, Ouroboros Stone Sculpture

“Hiss~ A brand-new Main God, has my offspring offended you?” The Snake Father slithered down among the flesh and blood of countless snake-people, looking at Qin Muye with an attitude of equality.

“Barely, I’m just here to learn about some things,” Qin Muye replied without caring about the title of Main God; to him, the names of power had never been much of a concern.

“Are you looking to inquire about that Three Officers Great Emperor of this world?” the Snake Father said languidly.

“???” Qin Muye was at a loss, feeling that something was offbeat; a snake-man seemingly from a fantasy world was actually mentioning the name of some emperor.

And what the devil was this Three Officers Great Emperor, with all these groups of three…

“Bestowing blessings, pardoning sins, averting disasters, He, no, It should be said, It is Divine, the supreme entity of this world,” the Snake Father spoke.

Qin Muye frowned, the Three Officers Great Emperor—he seemed to recall the names: Heavenly Official bestowing blessings, Earthly Official granting pardons, and Water Official averting disasters.

He hadn’t felt it before, but upon the Snake Father speaking, he remembered, yes, these three officials, also referred to as the Three Graces, not Heaven, Earth, and Humanity.

However, he remembered them as three divine beings; how come here it turned into one being, which gave him a weird feeling as if they were mishmashed together arbitrarily.

“How were you killed by them back then?” Qin Muye asked curiously.

“I don’t know,” the Snake Father gave Qin Muye a prime answer.

“I really don’t know. This part of my memory is missing; it might be because of the Three Officers Great Emperor, I don’t even know what He looks like,” the Snake Father admitted without concealment.

After pondering for a moment, he added, “All I know is that the other party is one of the operational laws of this world, It is omnipresent, can be the sky, the earth, or even the flowing water in the world.”

“Well, it sems asking you is useless. So, what are your thoughts now?” Qin Muye was gearing up to make a move.

“You want to kill me?” The Snake Father quickly caught on; although he couldn’t feel any malice from Qin Muye, he could sense that something was amiss.

“You noticed? Am I really that bad at acting?” Qin Muye touched his face, feeling it shouldn’t be the case; it was the first time his concealed blade and surprise attack had failed.

“Is it hard to guess? You’ve sealed my molt,” the Snake Father stated bluntly.

“So the flaw was there. I’ll pay attention next time, and you should be careful next time as well,” Qin Muye said, then prepared to launch a sneak attack.

“No need for a next time. Do you think this kind of seal can stop… me?” The Snake Father started confidently, but his tone grew weaker and even doubtful at the end.

However, the doubt wasn’t about Qin Muye’s confidence, but about the fact that he really couldn’t escape.

“It should, if it couldn’t, you would have already escaped by now,” Qin Muye finished speaking, and summoned back the Xuanjun body, revealing the terrifying true form of the Endless Abyss.

Devilish claws reached out, covering the sky and tearing open the Snake Father’s molt, as the Demon Tide swept in instantly, launching a surprise attack straight away.

The Snake Father was prepared, his body also inflated, transforming into two huge entities intertwined together.

The ground bulged in an instant, and the entire world cracked due to the clash of two ninth-tier entities, bringing calamities like earth dragons turning over and more.

Fortunately, the Three Great Force Fields provided a safety net, not causing too much catastrophe to the world; except for Great Qian, which might face some issues, but no matter, Qin Muye figured Huangfu Xing should be able to withstand it.

She Xi, meanwhile, hadn’t perished; seeing the vast abyss and the half-snake, half-human entities fighting, his worldview began to crumble.

“Is Emperor Qian the Master of the Endless Abyss???” At that moment, She Xi felt a power originating from the same source as the one inside him, which was beyond his acceptance. Was he really the clown in this act?

He had been writing to Emperor Qian asking him to clear out the Endless Abyss, and he had even pretended not to know; was playing him really that interesting?

Fortunately, these thoughts flashed by, and he forced himself to endure the discomfort in his body as he scrambled away. In the face of the clash of two terrifying beings, even the aftermath was dangerous, let alone direct observation. If he didn’t run, was he waiting for death?

As for seeking the Snake Father’s origin, that’s a matter for the long term. Under the current circumstances, it wasn’t just about whether the Snake Father was alive—it was questionable if he could even get a bite if the Snake Father perished.

Qin Muye had no time to pay attention to She Xi, that insignificant bug. Although the Snake Father had just returned from death and was weak, he was much stronger than the Cosmic Will of the Shining Universe. At least still being ninth-tier, he thus had to focus entirely on suppressing the adversary.

Although the opponent had been taking a beating, to the point where he didn’t even have the strength to fight back, and if the beating continued he really would be killed, Qin Muye couldn’t afford to let his guard down.

With every attack, Qin Muye tore apart his opponent’s essence and gained various mysterious insights of the ninth grade.

The Snake-father constantly defended himself but was unable to effectively prevent Qin Muye from plundering him.

Run? If they hadn’t revealed their true forms just now, there might have been a chance, but now there was clearly none.

“Your Excellency Snake-father, do you have any more trump cards? If not, I shall send you on your way. This time, you won’t have the chance to return from death to reality,” a voice warped by chaos erupted as if it were rot spreading.

Even She Xi, who was nearby and had not heard the exchange, felt his skin and scales begin to crawl at the slightest touch of the residual wave, with countless flesh buds sprouting and making him appear like a mass of demonic creatures.

“You’ve won, unknown supreme deity!” After the Snake-father spoke, his body began to disintegrate continuously.

He was forcibly devoured by Qin Muye, his entire being becoming fodder for Qin Muye.

However, he hadn’t died completely and was still able to clearly feel everything.

“So that’s how it is, you’re the world itself… no wonder then…” The Snake-father sensed the true terror of the Endless Abyss within Qin Muye; it was a complete world, and from the start, his opponent had been in an invincible position.

He had nothing, while his opponent had the support of a powerful world. If he didn’t lose, who would?

Yet to fail like this, he was extremely unwilling.

Unexpectedly, the head exploded in an instant, but Qin Muye was prepared, enveloping it with magic power and capturing it at once.

“Ha, you can’t run… eh, not running? Interesting,” Qin Muye said as he watched a grayish-brown radiance break through his seal.

That was not the Snake-father’s essence or power, but a qualification, a ninth-grade qualification.

“Come back to me.” Qin Muye was thorough in his dealings; how could he possibly let this qualification escape, even if it was of no use or threat to him?

But it couldn’t be allowed to remain.

Demon claws from the Abyss reached out, tearing through layers of space to grasp the grayish-brown qualification. He didn’t know where this qualification was supposed to go, but once he had it, he didn’t need to worry about the consequences.

“If it were the Snake-father trying to escape, perhaps, but just a legacy? Not good enough,” Qin Muye was puzzled; it was clearly a futile effort to anyone watching, so why bother?

Holding the ninth-grade qualification in his hand, if he gave it to someone, that person would have the opportunity to become a replica of the Snake-father. Well, just an opportunity, not a certainty.

“The Ouroboros Stone Sculpture, you really know how to play the game, and it’s even tainted with the power of time. Seems like… I’ve been planned against?”

As Qin Muye came to realize what happened, he saw that She Xi had already escaped at some point. This qualification was left for Qin Muye; the Snake-father’s real intention was to help She Xi escape.

As for why, he didn’t know, but Qin Muye was certain that he was unlikely to find She Xi ever again because the Snake-father was dead, completely dead, having used himself as a distraction for She Xi’s escape and apparently leaving something behind as a cover and legacy.

“Well, if he ran, he ran,” Qin Muye scoffed.

Of course, between qualifications and legacy, the qualification was certainly more valuable. A legacy you might not be able to fully use or master, but a qualification would grant you a status akin to that of the Main Character Aura or Child of Destiny, aiding you on the path to the ninth grade.

But in the end, it still depends on oneself.

Essentially, this ninth-grade qualification from the Ouroboros Sculpture was what the Snake-father left to buy his own life. It wasn’t enough to save the Snake-father, but it was enough for She Xi.

“I won’t kill him, but whether he can survive is his own business,” Qin Muye snickered. She Xi had been thoroughly defeated, probably not even equivalent to a first-grade now. To recover to the eighth grade under his condition would take at least tens of thousands of years.

In tens of thousands of years, the Martial Arts System of Great Qian would have advanced tremendously to an unknown extent; it might even lead to the emergence of a modern high-martial world.

Of course, Huangfu Xing would take care of that matter. A defeated Snake-man was hardly worthy of his personal attention—it would be too demeaning.
