Chapter 1193: Chapter 645: The "Recognizing Father" Ceremony

At this moment, Prince Chu Mu had already sent a message requesting to come in.

With a thought, Su Yu opened the grand door.

Prince Chu Mu walked in alone; he had questions he didn’t want others to hear.

Prince Chu Mu stopped a hundred meters before Su Yu and looked up at the figure on the throne, only to feel blinded by the golden light, unable to see clearly.

He bowed his head respectfully and said, "Emperor, you have awakened..."

With a voice slightly excited, he recounted the experiences of the past ten thousand years, the development of the Empire, and so on...

After hearing him, Su Yu nodded slightly, "What you have done in these ten thousand years is commendable!"

Upon hearing this, Prince Chu Mu’s eyes unexpectedly grew moist.

With his abundant humanity, being praised by the Emperor he revered in his heart was naturally very exhilarating.

A moment later, he took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "Emperor, there is something I wish to ask..."

He asked the question that had troubled him for ten thousand years: Was he truly the Emperor’s biological son? Was he truly human?

Hearing this question, Su Yu thought to himself: Here it comes!

Su Yu was about to answer with a thought.

However, just as he was about to speak, Su Yu’s heart subtly tensed.

He saw that the primordial chaos within Prince Chu Mu seemed to have undergone some sort of change.

Vaguely, dark and twisted tentacles extended from behind him, penetrating the ground, delving into the Zhendan Mother Star, into the depths of time and space, into the Subspace Deep Layer...

On the surface, Prince Chu Mu awaited Su Yu’s answer with an expectant look.

But in Su Yu’s view, there was a massive entity, hundreds and thousands of times larger than the River System, staring coldly at him with countless twisted eyes, awaiting his answer.

This was the chaotic origin of Prince Chu Mu, waiting for an answer.

Was he human, or a monster cloaked in human skin?

Su Yu’s heart shuddered as he pondered silently:

"The primordial chaos is unique in nature, likely possessing some lie-detection ability, so I cannot lie, but I also cannot tell the truth..."

Su Yu’s thoughts raced, and instead of speaking, his body trembled, emanating a peculiar aura.

This aura was extremely unique, appearing only at the moment of the universe’s creation and destruction; it was... the primordial chaos!

In that moment just now, through observation of Prince Chu Mu, Su Yu linked his own cause and effect with the primordial chaos, making himself the source of the primordial chaos.

This was, in fact, the truth.

Su Yu created the Creation Machine and rebooted the universe, the primordial chaos was born because of him.

Leveraging this causal connection, Su Yu introduced some of the primordial chaos aura to himself.

So if anyone possessed a causal perspective like Su Yu, they would see strange dark tentacles appearing faintly behind him...

After Prince Chu Mu asked the question, he nervously awaited an answer, but heard nothing.

He was puzzled, yet sensed a peculiar aura.

Instinctively, Prince Chu Mu looked up to see a mass of roiling, twisted chaos, incredibly distorted, with tentacle-like forms constantly waving, a sight that made one’s heart race.

This eerie scene, however, made Prince Chu Mu feel an overwhelming sense of closeness, as though those dark twisted tentacles were his root, his blood kin.

A moment later, that mass of dark chaos suddenly dispersed, seemingly collapsing into a solid form.

That form, bathed in golden light, was the Human Emperor he revered!

"I see..."

Though the Emperor before him hadn’t uttered a single word, Prince Chu Mu felt he understood.

He shared the same origin with the Emperor; he was indeed the Emperor’s progeny!

Having resolved the question that plagued him for ten thousand years, Prince Chu Mu exhaled deeply, feeling an immense relief throughout his body.

At this moment, the primordial chaos within him was subtly dissipating, solidifying completely into a human form.

Meanwhile, the strength of Prince Chu Mu was unknowingly increasing; clearly, after confirming his human identity, his form stabilized, allowing him to better wield the power of his origin.

Upon witnessing this scene, Su Yu breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Luckily, he managed to bluff through it.

He didn’t want this highly humane prince to suddenly mutate into a terrifying and boundless Evil God.

However, Su Yu regarded his recent actions as merely "bluffing," after all, he hadn’t actually confessed that Chu Mu was his biological son.

Mainly because Su Yu couldn’t bring himself to do it; Chu Mu was an excellent person, diligently administering the Empire for tens of thousands of years, and he did quite well.

Facing such a character, if Su Yu had just come out and said, "I’m your father," he always felt it was a bit unscrupulous...

Though if Su Yu had truly said it, Prince Chu Mu would undoubtedly be very pleased.

But Su Yu wasn’t willing; he still had principles.

If it were an enemy, Su Yu would gladly use such a power to trick them.

But Chu Mu wasn’t an enemy, so there was no need.

Most importantly, Prince Chu Mu’s origin was primordial chaos, distinct in nature.

If Su Yu used causal origins to forcibly make himself Prince Chu Mu’s "father,"

it’s possible Chu Mu would sense something amiss, start questioning his identity, and no longer recognize himself as human, which would be disastrous.

Given Prince Chu Mu’s essence, once he begins to doubt his identity, his degree of twisted mutation might be more dangerous than the twenty rebel princes before.

One has to admit, none of the princes created by the Radiant Emperor were easy to deal with.

Therefore, Su Yu simply connected his causality with the primordial chaos, exuding its aura, leaving Prince Chu Mu to draw his own conclusions.

After all, Su Yu hadn’t said anything, hadn’t uttered a single falsehood.

Even if Prince Chu Mu grew suspicious later, Su Yu had room to explain.

In this way, he managed to bluff through this "acknowledgment of paternity" ritual.

But bluffing, after all, is bluffing.

Given Prince Chu Mu’s essence as undetermined chaos, without a definitive response, he would inevitably fall into conflict again over time.

This is determined by his humanity and chaotic essence.

At that time, Su Yu wouldn’t be able to bluff again; a clear answer would be required.

But by then, Su Yu would have already made his escape.

This troublesome paternity issue should be left to the Radiant Emperor to handle.

Indeed, Su Yu had just stood up from the throne, getting ready to leave, no longer wanting to be the Emperor.

After all, over these ten thousand years, he hadn’t truly acted as Emperor, having been a withered body on the throne.

This Regent Prince Chu Mu did a good job, so let him continue. Su Yu intended to slip away.

However, he couldn’t flee directly; he needed to find a way to bring back the real Emperor.

The Radiant Emperor was still on the Azure Star posing as Su Yu, who knew what kind of tricks he was playing. Now that Su Yu could move freely, he had to find the Radiant Emperor and question him face to face!
