Chapter 615: The Profound Embryo and the Method of Immortality
"By offering sacrifices, we receive the favor of the Dragon Serpent God. By transforming the flesh, we form the Profound Embryo. By refining essence and blood, we give birth to the Primordial Infant. By breaking out of the embryo, we attain immortality."
"This volume of the Profound Birth Method is truly extraordinary, but what a pity."
The favor of the Dragon Serpent God is the Dragon Serpent God itself.
The First Emperor succeeded, but not entirely. In the past, the Profound Embryo was sealed, and the Primordial Infant was destroyed, leading to his ultimate failure.
Indeed, the bloodied, human-like mass currently sitting in the Taiyi Palace is not the complete First Emperor, but merely the Profound Embryo that failed to fully transform.
The Primordial Infant, which broke out of the embryo, did not die but escaped.
This Primordial Infant contains the pure essence of the First Emperor, and it is unknown where it has reincarnated.
He is definitely not dead, but since the incident, he has been reincarnating among mortals.
"The Dragon Serpent God was not supposed to survive; the First Emperor was betrayed."
Qin Muye looked at the Profound Birth Method. From what he could tell, it was not a righteous path. Blood sacrifices and transformations were far from a genuine way to achieve immortality. It made sense, using the flesh of a deity for one's own cultivation, requiring daily blood sacrifices and offerings, seemed quite normal.
From his perspective, the method of immortality described in the Profound Birth Method was genuine. If one followed it step by step, it would work.
However, the difficulty was immense. Ordinary people cannot kill deities, and without a deity, the Profound Embryo would need to consume human sacrifices. On the first day, one person would be offered, on the second day, two, on the third day, four, and on the fourth day, eight. The number would double each day, requiring forty-nine days to complete the process.
At the beginning, it seemed manageable, but after forty-nine days, even the entire nation might not provide enough sacrifices.
Even with the Dragon Serpent God, the Profound Embryo could not control its desire to consume humans.
Thus, the First Emperor was sealed away.
"This is a massive trap. The First Emperor managed to digest the Dragon Serpent God and break out of the embryo to achieve immortality, even gaining the power of the Dragon Serpent God as a human."
"But where did this volume of the Profound Birth Method come from?"
Qin Muye was certain it was not something the Dragon Serpent God had. Who would carry such a thing, given its stringent requirements? However, it was genuine.
If not for the enormous number of sacrifices required, it would still have some use. To complete it, one would need to sacrifice an entire world, which might be possible, but even that was uncertain. In the Shimmering Universe, with its vast population, it might be feasible, but in this world, it would likely be insufficient.
"Currently, the entity in the Taiyi Palace is the flesh-eating Profound Embryo, not the immortal Primordial Infant. Without the control of the Primordial Infant, this has led to the resurgence of the Dragon Serpent God. What is the state of the First Emperor's personality within the Profound Embryo?"
"Is it just residual instinct?"
Qin Muye guessed what the Dragon Serpent God wanted from the First Emperor. There were only two possibilities: either to eliminate a threat or to repair itself. What else could it be?
So, he was considering an idea: perhaps he should confront the Dragon Serpent God directly and force him to reveal the method of creating the Dragon Vein.
Finding a Primordial Infant that has reincarnated for years would be impossible, especially in modern times, where it might be considered a deformity.
In this vast sea of humanity, he had no way of finding one person, let alone leave the Dragon Vein.
This led him to a devious thought: to get the benefits without doing the work.
The most suitable method was to beat the Dragon Serpent God to death and make him reveal the information.
Why should he do the work when he could get it for free with his fists?
Besides, who knew what the First Emperor or the All-Worlds Protection Organization had in store? If the First Emperor's Primordial Infant had issues due to his transformation, what if it became stronger and broke the deal?
The All-Worlds Protection Organization, which grew from the Ge Wu Mansion, knew about the First Emperor's Primordial Infant and even orchestrated the plan to seal him in the Taiyi Palace. Therefore, the First Emperor's Primordial Infant might be under their surveillance, or even in their custody. If he were to find it, he might have to go through the All-Worlds Protection Organization, but then what?
They might not hide the information from him, but the All-Worlds Protection Organization would never hand over the First Emperor's Primordial Infant.
"Thinking about it, the best option is probably to beat the Dragon Serpent God to death and force him to reveal the method of creating the Dragon Vein." Qin Muye felt that he wasn't very suited for thinking too much, after all, his brain told him that he was running low on memory and it was better to act than to think.
The idea was good, but acting might not be the best approach either.
If he were to interrogate the Dragon Serpent God, he would need certain skills, as the other party's life form was extremely special, similar to a combination of the Rendaya Mother Goddess and the Greed, Hatred, and Delusion. Although only the Profound Embryo remained, it had fused with the concepts of the Dragon Serpent God, Immortality, and Emperor, forming a bizarre entity.
The current Profound Embryo not only contained the First Emperor but also encompassed all emperors and rulers from ancient times to the present.
Immortality was just a title, the true terror was that as long as there were high-ranking officials or decision-makers in the world, the Profound Embryo would not die, even if it were annihilated, it would be reborn.
The Primordial Infant naturally gained this power in the process, but Qin Muye still needed to investigate the specifics.
"Did everything go smoothly today?" Dr. Long walked in and asked.
"Pretty smoothly. Under my reasonable fists, the First Emperor not only cleaned up the mess but also gave me a scroll of the Profound Birth Method, which looks quite interesting." Qin Muye glanced at Dr. Long, seemingly hinting at something.
"This is not a good thing," Dr. Long said calmly. He naturally knew about the Profound Birth Method, as the All-Worlds Protection Organization had contained the original scroll, which was a method engraved on human skin, very sinister, and anyone who saw it would subconsciously perform the ritual of the Profound Birth Method and start killing.
Of course, there were solutions. The copy in Qin Muye's hands was a handwritten version.
While the original was sinister, the handwritten version was normal, though the content was still quite bloody.
"I know, so I'm wondering who gave such a problematic thing to the First Emperor." Qin Muye asked casually.
"Zhao Yin, the Commander of the Middle Chariot Office, who succeeded the Ge Wu Mansion." Dr. Long seemed unconcerned about Qin Muye's thoughts and spoke directly.
"I know about the Ge Wu Mansion, but the Middle Chariot Office... never mind, knowing it isn't very useful. So, you're saying it was your All-Worlds Protection Organization that gave it to the First Emperor?" Qin Muye, of course, knew.
From the First Emperor, he learned about Dr. Long, who was once brought by the Commander of the Middle Chariot Office and likely inherited the Ge Wu Mansion, which was the predecessor of the All-Worlds Protection Organization.
"No, to be precise, it was offered. Back then, the First Emperor was seeking the method of immortality, and the Ge Wu Mansion did not yet have its current exalted status." Dr. Long explained.
"I see, so the Ge Wu Mansion was powerful at the time but was just a department of the court, and only gradually became independent in modern times." Qin Muye understood this. He had always equated the Ge Wu Mansion with the All-Worlds Protection Organization, but that wasn't entirely accurate.
"Exactly. In fact, before that, we served various emperors, which nurtured the current First Emperor. He is not the Dragon Serpent God, nor the First Emperor of old, but a new entity. Whether he calls himself the First Emperor or the Dragon Serpent God, it is just a virtual illusion."
"The true him is the synthesis of all emperors throughout history. Immortality is his obsession, and greed for power is his nature."
"He is 'the First Emperor,' Omega-Class Anomaly · First Emperor, not the human First Emperor who unified the six directions and the eight regions of old."
Dr. Long explained the anomaly known as the First Emperor. He knew that Qin Muye had definitely seen the anomalies in the First Emperor, otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.
So, he had to explain clearly to Qin Muye. Otherwise, what if Qin Muye, in a moment of carelessness, released the Omega-Class Anomaly · First Emperor?
Even with the Dragon Vein, Dr. Long was still wary of Qin Muye's endless tricks. They still hadn't figured out the true situation of Qin Muye, the Omega-Class Anomaly · Abyssal Will, and didn't know what abilities he possessed.
To be an Omega-Class Anomaly, the level of threat was on par with the First Emperor. Although they had been using Qin Muye for testing, they dared to do so only because Qin Muye could communicate and interact. For other anomalies, they definitely wouldn't take such risks.
