Supreme Tamer

Chapter 1752: Chapter 1609: The Ever-Changing Woman, Human Mother

Chu Mu did not dwell further on the inexplicable matter of lineage, nor did he believe the claims about Liu Binglan being one of the higher-ranked Totem Believer Women.

Many matters don’t necessarily require answers. At least from Chu Mu’s perspective, even if someone told Liu Binglan she was a divine being manifested, her reaction would likely be an indifferent “Oh” before calmly continuing with whatever she was doing.

Since she had not grown up in the Heavenly Palace but faced everything in the New Moon Land, this unfamiliar Heavenly Palace might very well mean nothing to her. She might not necessarily wish to uncover this answer at all. And even if the answer were found, what would change? Would she truly seek to establish family bonds with a completely unfamiliar person?

At least for Chu Mu, he would not acknowledge someone like this grandmother whom he had never met. Without having shared life together, even blood ties wouldn’t make them much different from strangers.

“Then what kind of existence is the Totem Goddess? Are the powerful array diagrams linked to the strength of races all set by the Totem Goddess?” Chu Mu shifted the topic.

“The Totem Goddess only manages one thing,” Yu Suo replied.

“One thing? What’s that?”

“Time—the Mortal World’s time!” Yu Suo answered.

“How is time managed?”

Could time even be managed? Perhaps only history could be recorded—documenting the events that occurred in the past.

“This ‘time’ isn’t referring to a specific moment or the next second, but rather a broader concept of time, such as the cycle of sunrise and sunset, the waxing and waning of the moon, or the rotation of Red Fire Day on the calendar,” Yu Suo explained.

“Does that require management? Isn’t that just natural law?” Chu Mu asked.

“These are indeed natural laws, but they were jointly established as natural principles by the Roulette Temple and the Totem Temple,” Yu Suo responded.

“This is starting to feel rather mystical,” Chu Mu said.

“The creation of all things in the world is based on something. The principles governing natural laws are also established. They created the laws, hence they are elevated on high—like how in a kingdom, those who create laws must be kings. The Totem Goddess manages the overarching timeline of the entire realm of living beings,” Yu Suo elaborated.

“We should just go get the Divine Dew,” Chu Mu said, increasingly confused. He felt that his deeply ingrained concepts were about to be overturned by Yu Suo’s revelations.

The cycles of sunrise and sunset, the moon’s phases, the solar trajectory’s rotation—all these governed by someone within the Heavenly Palace? That person could only be described as a deity.

To be honest, Chu Mu was still an atheist to this day. What people commonly referred to as gods were merely beings at the Undying level. But for something to influence the entire realm of living beings on such a divine scale—this left Chu Mu both baffled and outside his realm of experience. He had never encountered anything on this level. After all, this concept of controlling time that Yu Suo described was utterly incomprehensible to Chu Mu.

“What? Starting to feel inferior because of your ignorance?” Yu Suo teased lightly upon noticing Chu Mu’s sudden lack of interest.

…

The Goddess Building was minimally guarded, which made it very convenient for Chu Mu and Yu Suo to move about.

Leaving Yu Suo’s room, Yu Suo headed directly along a suspended corridor toward a half-floating pavilion.

The fan-shaped door was tightly shut. Yu Suo clearly had intimate familiarity with this place. She chanted a spell, removed the restrictions, and then pushed the door open and entered.

This airborne attic was exquisite and elegant, lacking excessive ornamentation yet exuding an otherworldly and refined aura. One could only assume the person living here was equally remarkable.

Glittering beads were strung together and hung down from above, forming a noble curtain.

The curtain formed a circular partition, precisely obscuring Chu Mu’s line of sight.

Behind the bead curtain, Chu Mu could make out the silhouette of a woman.

Her hair was very long, cascading gracefully along her lithe back and resting by her curvaceous hips. At the ends of her hair were butterfly-like leaf decorations, clearly accentuating her elegance and composure.

Chu Mu couldn’t clearly see her face but could roughly judge that she was meditating, her eyes closed. Her lashes were long and curved, complemented perfectly by subtle eye shadow, delicately enhancing her brows and eyes with astonishing refinement.

This makeup style was likely a common soft touch understood by most women. Yet on her, it was brought to an unparalleled level, evoking the impression of a simplistic yet deeply evocative artwork…

Taking a few steps to change his angle, Chu Mu glimpsed her lips through the gaps between the beads.

Lips with a soft pink hue resembling petals of a blooming flower.

“Nice to look at?” Yu Suo asked nonchalantly.

“Yeah,” Chu Mu didn’t deny it.

Although he could only see the outline and a portion of her features, Chu Mu felt that the woman behind the curtain surely possessed breathtaking beauty.

“Every woman’s beauty has its unique charm, but she embodies the beauty of all women in the world. If you favor elegance and serenity, upon seeing her, you’d find her graceful like water, gently captivating. If you prefer nobility and aloofness, her icy demeanor would provoke an urge to admire her from afar. If you’re drawn to allure and charm, her myriad postures and beguiling expressions would leave you spellbound. Beyond that—innocence, playfulness, wisdom, determination, fiery passion, kindness, naivety, cunning, or intrigue… she possesses all of these.” Yu Suo said with a calm tone.

“Could such a woman even exist in this world?” Chu Mu thought Yu Suo’s description might be exaggerated.

How could one person simultaneously embody so many different qualities and demeanors? To Chu Mu, even the extreme personalities of Yu Suo and the Good and Evil Queen were already hard to reconcile…

“What’s your first impression of her?” Yu Suo asked.

“Tranquil, pure, beautiful—ethereal, somewhat elusive, yet with a sense of warmth and approachability,” Chu Mu replied.

“Hm. This is your intrinsic perception of feminine beauty. Reflect carefully—does this type of woman hold a special place for you?” Yu Suo suggested.

Chu Mu pondered and realized she might be right.

“Look at her again,” Yu Suo urged.

Following her advice, Chu Mu examined the woman again through the semi-obscuring curtain. Suddenly, he noticed that aside from the difference in hair color, her features bore some resemblance to Ye Qingzi!

For a fleeting moment, Chu Mu felt as though it was Ye Qingzi at her most stunning sitting there.

But as he scrutinized further, he was met with an even more astonishing sight.

The woman behind the curtain transformed into Bai Jinrou—her closed eyes bearing a striking resemblance to Bai Jinrou in her slumber, radiating an unearthly beauty and an achingly poignant allure!

Due to the curtain obscuring complete visibility, Chu Mu could only ever catch segments of her features. Yet every time he changed angles, the aura and appearance of the woman behind the beads seemed to shift, even evoking glimpses of Ning Man’er, whose familiar and tender qualities tugged at his heartstrings.

Chu Mu was left speechless by shock. How could such a face exist in this world—one that simultaneously held the qualities of several women he cherished deeply? When gazed upon through different eyes or sentiments, she would morph into the most significant figures in his heart, defying belief…

At that moment, Chu Mu felt an overwhelming urge to push aside the curtain that obstructed his view and carefully scrutinize her face—unravel her true appearance so he could distinguish her from those he knew.

“Don’t touch the curtain. Its restrictions can easily obliterate you. Though she doesn’t sense us moving or talking while meditating here, touching her restrictions—even if you’re of a flawless immortal level—might leave you unable to exit this room,” Yu Suo warned Chu Mu sternly.

“What—what’s going on? I recall her looking different when I saw her just moments ago,” Chu Mu remarked.

“I told you, she embodies the beauty of all women in the world. Different people perceive her completely differently. For you, she might appear as a serene, pure beauty. For Ye Wansheng, that scoundrel, she’d likely be an impossibly seductive enchantress. Of course, if you also see her as a seductive enchantress… that merely reflects the age-old truth: all men are the same,” Yu Suo said dispassionately.

Chu Mu was drenched in cold sweat.

“This… this woman is beyond… terrifying,” Chu Mu admitted.

He couldn’t fathom what it would be like if this woman appeared before him with Ye Qingzi’s form and secretly harbored intentions to kill him. How would he distinguish Ye Qingzi from her afterward?

“I’m curious now—how many people did you see just now?” Yu Suo asked in mild amusement.

“Only one,” Chu Mu answered calmly.

“Ye Qingzi or Bai Jinrou?” Yu Suo pressed.

“Two,” Chu Mu revised his answer.

“Really just two?” Yu Suo questioned skeptically.

“This place is too dangerous. Let’s grab the Divine Dew and leave immediately. Have you found it yet?” Chu Mu swiftly changed the subject.

Yu Suo snorted at Chu Mu’s evasion and moved to the woman’s rear with confidence that she wouldn’t awaken.

While searching the room, Yu Suo remained unperturbed, her focus undivided.

Chu Mu couldn’t help but sneak another glance behind the curtain.

This time, the woman behind the curtain was no longer anyone familiar to Chu Mu. Instead, her face displayed a new, unparalleled beauty—distinct yet strangely familiar.

“This must be her true face,” Chu Mu murmured to himself.

…

“Is she the Totem Goddess?” Chu Mu asked.

“No. She’s the Human Mother.”

“The Human Mother??” Chu Mu echoed aloud with confusion.

“Flowers originate from the Good and Evil Queen. Trees come from the World Lord God Tree. Humanity’s progenitor is the Human Mother. However, the beauty you see isn’t some millennium-old demon. She’s merely a direct descendant of the human ancestor. We call her the Human Mother. She spends most of her time in this state of cultivation,” Yu Suo explained. (To be continued.
