As Regent Prince, Chu Mu restored peace to the chaotic Imperial over centuries, quelled rebellions without loss, and redeveloped the declining empire. Facing Subspace Evil Gods' erosion, he established the Mechanical Sect as national religion, worshiping Nono to shield civilians, while secretly fostering faith in the Radiant Emperor for soldiers' protection. After personally sealing powerful Evil Gods, the empire stabilized and hailed him as the Second Emperor, yet he wrestles with doubts over his true bloodline and humanity.

Yet ultimately, rumors remain nothing more than idle talk.

Essentially, nobody can confirm if Prince Chu Mu is genuinely the Emperor’s own flesh and blood.

Chu Mu himself remains in the dark, fueling his deep inner turmoil.

This turmoil has shadowed him across ten thousand years.

His profound humanity is exactly what knots him up so tightly.

Were he icy and merciless, such matters wouldn’t bother him at all.

Take the prior Prince of Brutal, who never once dwelled on this.

Seeking clarity, Chu Mu revisited his birth laboratory, hunting for the earliest records.

Despite exhaustive searches, the origin of his existence stayed elusive.

The Emperor himself delivered Chu Mu’s embryo to the lab, where techs nurtured it into the Prince he is today.

Only the Radiant Emperor knows the embryo’s true source.

Time-reversal tech yielded nothing, blocked by the Emperor’s impenetrable golden radiance.

Only a being surpassing the Radiant Emperor could brute-force time backward for the truth, yet Chu Mu’s attempts failed utterly.

Thus, he shelved the doubt, devoting himself to ruling the Emperor’s domain.

Now, after ten millennia, the throne’s Emperor has stirred awake.

Brimming with anticipation, Chu Mu hurried to bow before the Emperor.

His visit went beyond mere awakening felicitations—he sought one vital answer.

Am I truly the Emperor’s biological son?

In plain terms, he arrived to claim his father...

Su Yu, fully aware of Prince Chu Mu’s heartfelt struggle, found himself equally torn.

The dilemma intensified...

Though as the Source of Cause and Effect he could theoretically father or grandfather anyone.

Having mastered the "Cause and Effect Singularity," he now wielded its might without risk of chaos.

Hence, no blood ties linked Su Yu and Prince Chu Mu anymore, naturally.

Yet Su Yu dared not blurt out the truth, lest disaster follow...

Su Yu’s eyes settled on Prince Chu Mu’s tense form lingering beyond the hall.

Standing three meters tall and powerfully built, Prince Chu Mu donned gleaming golden Regent Prince’s Battle Armor, radiating grandeur that inspired awe among the Empire’s folk.

Under the helm, though, turmoil and eager joy churned—like a youth on the verge of embracing a father lost for ages.

But Su Yu’s vision delved further via the Cause and Effect Singularity’s might, unveiling...

The reality cloaked by Prince Chu Mu’s human mask.

A shapeless, warped being—shadowy, abyssal, malevolent...

Clearly, Prince Chu Mu was another primordial Subspace being masquerading as human.

Unlike his siblings, his human essence burned fiercely, nearly that of a... true standard human!

Indeed, a standard human!

Prince Chu Mu captured humanity’s finest traits: bravery, compassion, ingenuity, and beyond.

Yet he bore its frailties too—like hesitation or rashness now and then.

Over countless ages, Prince Chu Mu wrestled his weaknesses while amplifying virtues, advancing ceaselessly.

This relentless self-refinement echoed quintessential human striving.

Few commoners matched his "standard" purity.

Not even the Radiant Emperor or Su Yu always felt so authentically human.

At times, the Radiant Emperor and Su Yu acted with chilling detachment.

Su Yu grasped little of the Radiant Emperor’s inner world, but his own was crystal clear.

With escalating power, ordinary folk seemed mere insects to Su Yu, their lives snuffed or revived by whim.

Humanity ebbed from him, old bonds fraying as cosmic concerns dwarfed mortal grasp—talk grew futile, a drain.

Without vigilant self-reminders to cling to his human core, Su Yu risked morphing into an Evil God Demon-like horror.

At his pinnacle, flesh, DNA, soul—all human anchors meant nothing.

Losing humanity would sever him from humankind entirely.

Much like the erstwhile Pain Evil God, a psychic void swirling with infinite agony and hopelessness.

Su Yu refused such a fate.

Devolving into a purely logical, frigid Evil God Su Yu equaled true demise.

Yet Prince Chu Mu seemed untouched by these perils.

His human spark blazed brighter and fiercer than any other’s.

Power’s rise posed no threat of humanity’s lack birthing an Evil God shift.

Thanks to his Subspace roots.

"Is this Prince Chu Mu’s core? How did the Radiant Emperor discover him..." Su Yu pondered inwardly.

Through the Cause and Effect Singularity’s potency, he pierced fully into Prince Chu Mu’s true nature.

A swirling blob of formless mayhem.

The primal disorder born solely at universe’s dawn or doom.

Today’s cosmos and societies sprang from such turbulent anarchy.

Su Yu had glimpsed this utter disorder wielding forces of universal birth and ruin.

Its hyper-speed flux made it ephemeral.

Not even Su Yu could grasp it fully, deeming it mere cosmic flux.

By mysterious arts, the Radiant Emperor plucked a shard of this genesis turmoil.

Harnessing its vast malleability, he molded it into a "standard" human—Prince Chu Mu as we know him.

Perhaps crafted as the Radiant Emperor’s "gauge" against spiritual energy and Subspace corrosion eroding human essence.

This prince served to benchmark pure humanity.

Alas, even this "gauge" bore a defect.

Namely, Prince Chu Mu’s unquenched quest for self-truth eluded him.

Is he authentically human, or just a Subspace beast in guise?

This question loomed vital.

The Radiant Emperor forged him as ideal human, instilling unshakeable human conviction.

Should he reject that self-view, his evolution turns unforeseeable.

He could embrace Subspace monstrosity, erupting as a dread Evil God.

His once-vibrant humanity might flip to savage ferocity.

Thus, confronting this son-begging Prince Chu Mu, Su Yu must never refute his human essence...
