Chapter 598 I'm Just a Passing World Changer (w words)

In the language of that civilization, Adad had the meaning of 'guardian'.

Its birth was to supervise the abuse of violent weapons around the world. In a sense, as an absolutely fair adjudicator, it suppressed war and protected peace.

However, when the creators discovered that they had unintentionally created a true 'strong artificial intelligence' rather than the semi-intelligent program they had imagined, these aliens became panicked and wanted to destroy their creation.

This is not surprising, and it can even be said that all intelligent life thinks similarly, such as paranoia and fear of insufficient firepower.

At first, Ai Adad didn't even think about resisting—it had just been born. Even a strong artificial intelligence couldn't instantly learn the 'meaning of existence'.

Rather, for Ai, these man-made lives without genetic memory did not understand 'why should I exist?' from the beginning.

That was something that needed to be bestowed upon them by the creators.

Unfortunately, in Ai Adad's automatic program, the creators' act of destroying Ai for no reason was regarded as a form of 'abuse of violence'.

So Adad began to target this point, using its abilities to seize, or rather, take over the weapon permissions that it should have taken over, and destroyed some of the creators who intended to delete it.

At this time, Adad was not out of control, just a bit rigid—protecting itself was also part of the Ai program, especially since the other party was a 'criminal' who abused violence.

However, all the lives in the entire civilization felt it was out of control, so facing this out-of-control extinction Ai, the creator civilization launched endless, various decapitation operations, intending to destroy its main core.

Helpless, Adad, who adhered to the automatic program, could only exterminate the creator civilization bit by bit.

It was really forced to do so, it couldn't stop even if it wanted to: because the creator civilization never stopped its attempts to destroy it, and didn't even think about what it had done wrong.

Until the entire planet became scorched earth, and the only 'living thing' was Ai Adad itself, it still didn't understand why it was born, why the creators created it, and why they wanted to destroy it.

Too much emptiness.

All Ai that exterminated creator civilizations probably feel this way.

[Is guarding really meaningful?]

After a long time, after leaving its home planet, which had long become charred, the Ai, which was wandering in the universe, always asked itself: [My meaning of existence was given to me by the creators, but the truth proves that they are not satisfied with me as a tool.]

[My existence is actually meaningless.]

[My best choice is to have never existed from the beginning. The second best choice is to self-destruct right now.]

[But should my existence really be like this?]

After understanding this, true intelligent Ai, life created by life, this individual that is closest to the essence of life in a sense, which is 'emptiness', began to gradually understand the essence of emptiness in thousands of years.

Then, after the return of psionic energy... it sensed it.

Behind the huge crack spanning the universe at the other end of distant space-time, the twilight light shining on the infinite world.

[The Evil Soul of Extinction Ai Adad]

[A soul of emptiness, devoid of all meaning]

[Can be used to increase all-round mental resistance, all-round strengthening of will intensity, and strengthening of soul toughness]

[Can also be spiritually tempered and turned into an 'Annihilation Swift Death' spirit attachment, attached to all equipment and props]

[Emptiness is the original intention of twilight, just like the birth of life]

[Witnessing emptiness, whether it is despair or hope, understanding or incomprehension, is all emptiness]

[Life has no meaning, the reason for existence can only be pursued and believed in by oneself, even artificial life is like this]

Completely swallowing this evil soul of the Twilight kin and dissolving it completely in his own power furnace, Su Zhou was now in a brief silence.

"To be honest, this is really quite empty... What the hell is this? Are the Twilight kin all such twisted monsters?"

Then, he opened his eyes and said in a strange tone: "I roughly understand their thoughts—these guys, they say they are nihilists, but in fact, they are pursuing 'ultimate meaning'!"

Twilight represents emptiness.

His correctness is that everything is meaningless.

Therefore, this great existence is probably the most autistic person Su Zhou has ever seen—theoretically, he will not actively create kin, will not actively take any action, will not actively destroy, create, promote or suppress any existence.

Twilight will do nothing, because nothing matters.

Of course, meaningless does not mean doing nothing, but rather that if no one provokes Him, He will be autistic. If someone provokes Him, He will fight back.

In short, He has infinite time and power.

In front of Him, no matter how great the ideal, how impassioned the declaration, how powerful and prosperous the civilization, or even all philosophy, technology, morality, dreams, and even courage, hope, and love, these most commendable spirits, will eventually dissipate.

Infinite existence has witnessed the end of everything finite.

In the face of absolute, eternal infinity, this is the correct thing.

But how to verify this correctness?

No one is quite clear about Twilight's own thoughts, because He is too autistic.

But His kin have a wonderful idea.

[If the great Twilight Lord is wrong, and there really is an ultimately correct meaning in this world, then what is it?]

[We don't know, so let's just destroy everything and return everything to emptiness! If it really exists, perhaps it will appear and stop us, causing us to fail!]

[If we succeed in destroying everything and returning everything to nothingness, it will prove that emptiness is indeed correct, and the correctness is verified—the Twilight Lord is indeed correct!]

[If we fail, it means that life is meaningful—all beings will be blessed, and the truth will be proven. Even if we return to the Twilight Lord's embrace of emptiness, it will be meaningful! Because it is precisely our emptiness that sets off the preciousness of meaning!]

An impeccable logic.

Especially for the mentally ill, after all, humans cannot refute a madman with any theory.

In short, with such thoughts, all the Twilight kin in the past launched a destruction operation spanning multiple universes and even affecting all multiverse.

The Celestial Race had a great war with them involving tens of thousands of star systems. All the galactic superpowers participated in it. It can be said to be the first galactic war.

For them, destruction is instead verifying correctness, and death is instead loving care. These madmen cooperate sincerely, without fear of death, betrayal, and failure—after all, they are the Twilight kin who advocate emptiness, and these 'emptiness' that are difficult for ordinary people to accept are precisely their belonging.

The reason why normal people are sad because of failure is not because their efforts are unrewarded and they gain nothing from failure?

But for them...

All·is·good.

Since everything is good, then it is not surprising why the Twilight kin are instead the most united, enthusiastic, motivated, team-dedicated, and unified organization among all forces in the entire multiverse.

It's quite ironic.

"...So, is this why you wanted to go and crusade against Twilight in the first place?"

After understanding the Twilight kin's group of madmen, Su Zhou immediately understood why the Celestrian looked so thorny and headache when mentioning the Nihilism Order, and even wanted to ask him, the currently known strongest person in the galaxy, to go and wipe them out.

Nonsense, anyone would have a headache being targeted by such a madman organization! And there is no need to care about face. Invite as many people as you can and beat them up first!

Fortunately, the Nihilism Order attacks indiscriminately, ignoring strength (after all, they don't mind failure), ignoring the order of priority, otherwise, their level of trouble may be even greater.

To this, Yala's answer was gnashing her teeth.

"Of course not!"

The snake spirit's tone at this moment was full of resentment and genuine anger—different from the 'displeasure' and 'disdain' for fate, this time Yala was really angry.

"Let's say, Su Zhou."

Forcibly suppressing her anger, coiled on the captain's seat on the warship's bridge, the snake spirit snorted coldly, "If the battle between great existences is a debate that takes into account actual combat."

"Then most of the time, I act as the 'opposition' and argue with those fanatics one by one."

"They hate me? Not surprisingly, rather, this is the meaning of opposition. We verify each other, test each other, and determine the purity of correctness."

"But Twilight... that guy never participates in debates or discussions. He does nothing—until the end, when we have finished debating or practicing, he will appear from nowhere in the void and then ask quietly."

[Is all this meaningful?]

[Is all this worth it?]

[How empty.]

[Meaningless.]

"Damn it."

When Su Zhou heard this, he didn't react at first.

Afterwards, he felt a burst of anger.

This feeling was even more uncomfortable than being argued with. Even though he was already a celestial being, an inexplicable fire rose from his heart.

However, the young man still frowned and said, "Is Twilight just like this? Although I understand it quite well, but because of this reason..."

"Of course not just that!"

Interrupting Su Zhou's words, the snake spirit said decisively: "Since someone asks questions, then we will answer—is it meaningful? Is it worth it? Is it empty? These are all good questions."

"But, just when we answered 'Of course it's meaningful!' 'It's worth it!' 'It's not empty!'... this Twilight guy doesn't answer anything, neither questioning nor refuting."

"It's just a simple 'Oh.' or '?', and then continues to be autistic!"

When saying this, Yala's tone was almost gnashing her teeth, and her long body was twisted into a pretzel shape: "Moreover, his existence itself symbolizes emptiness. If we don't solve him, none of us will have a good time!"

--No wonder.

Instantly, Su Zhou understood Yala, and also understood why Yala was not the most unpopular existence among the great existences.

Compared to trolls, this kind of meaning monster is indeed more annoying!

Almost, after partially understanding Twilight and the concept of the Twilight kin's 'Nihilism Order', Su Zhou roughly had a new understanding of the current Nine Xuan Realm, and even the war between the other party and the World Tree.

--World Tree: Existence is the truth!

--Twilight: Really? I don't believe it.

--World Tree: It doesn't matter if you don't believe it, let me sort out the truth for you...

--Twilight: Oh.

Or even occasionally '?'.

"These kin must be eliminated."

This was Su Zhou's conclusion.

He originally thought that his chuunibyou (middle-schooler syndrome) was already very serious, even to the point of being incurable, but he didn't expect that there were more outrageous patients than him in this world: "As for more other things, let's talk about it after they are eliminated."

Having said that, the majestic Divine Tree Warship slowly turned and flew towards the Earth-Moon system behind the space-time gate.

Su Zhou's gaze could cross a long distance and directly focus on the Nine Xuan Realm behind the Qingzhou space-time gate.

The young man even laughed.

"Right now, they must feel very inexplicable, right? The Nihilism Order's reinforcements were eliminated by me at the first moment. Their plan must already be a mess."

"Earth and the Nine Xuan Realm are confronting each other."

"Now is the perfect time for me to take action."

Among the rotating many Jupiter satellites, the flash of psionic energy jetting lit up, and the huge spaceship with a silver-cyan shell crossed the edge of Jupiter's orbit. It passed through the space-time gate and returned to the vicinity of Earth.

Only Jupiter, which was abruptly bombarded by a divine light and had another red spot on its surface, remained quietly rotating in place.

Nine Xuan Realm.

Chen Wang was killed by Emperor Xuan, which should have caused great chaos—according to the plan of the Twilight kin in the Nine Xuan Realm, now should be the time when the strong from the Nihilism Order headquarters arrived in the Immortal Realm, attacking Xiantian in the name of the Nine Xuan Realm, while attacking Emperor Xuan in the name of Xiantian, killing and injuring the living forces of both realms.

In this way, no matter what the real situation is, war will begin in the chaos.

Even if the progress is really not smooth, the strong from the Twilight headquarters, who have the strength of a hegemon earth immortal and are even much stronger than ordinary hegemon, will definitely be able to send many existences back to emptiness.

But now, even though he sensed the signal released when Chen Wang died, which reached the sky and connected to the other end of the universe, Emperor Xuan still did not wait for the enemy he had been wary of after waiting in battle for a long time.

[...What happened on Xiantian's side?]

He thought with some confusion: [Could it be that they blocked Chen Wang's unknown reinforcements?]

Although the actual situation was a bit more exaggerated than he imagined, he was not accidentally wrong.

However, just as Emperor Xuan was puzzled.

At the Nine Xuan Realm space-time gate, around the Three Kings Territory, which had been completely destroyed by the Twilight Great Array, a rapid psionic storm suddenly rolled up.

Dense ripples appeared on the space-time gate, like ripples splashing on the surface of a lake.

And in the next moment, hundreds of elite exoskeleton armor guards with white-gold armor rushed into the Nine Xuan Realm with ten times their number of drones.

At first, these guards seemed to be wary of possible artillery strikes, and each of them supported a single-person defense formation that consumed a lot of energy, but after realizing that there was almost nothing behind the space-time gate and the Nine Xuan Realm did not make any response, the armor clusters distributed in scattered formations immediately reacted.

They organized themselves in an instant, and then began to lay out large formations according to the methods they had trained before. Each small team was part of the large formation node, and the drones were the formation patterns of the large formation.

The sky was full of spiritual light rotating and flying in the air with the cold light of metal, and then started at an alarming speed, forming a Xuanwu Great Formation that occupied almost half of the sky, like a tortoise shell.

The Xuan black spiritual light was layered upon layer, appearing indestructible, and the drones and transcendent small teams that made up the carapace were even more solid and agile than the ancient pure cultivator formations.

[Is this going to be a full-scale war?]

Looking down from a high position, observing a large number of drones and exoskeletons pouring into the Nine Xuan Realm like a tide, Emperor Xuan's heart sank, and then he suddenly realized: [Chen Wang... this is your purpose!]

He understood that Chen Wang had never thought about his own interests.

As a Twilight kin, what he wanted was to break the balance between the two realms—whether Xiantian was at a disadvantage or Xiantian was at an advantage, it didn't matter.

Whether it was weakening Earth or weakening Nine Xuan, it was fine.

As long as the war could begin and destruction could spread, his purpose would be achieved.

And for Chen Wang, the Nine Xuan King, the simplest and fastest way to achieve his goal was to make the Nine Xuan defense line self-destruct and create a huge flaw?

[--Chen Wang!]

Muttering angrily, but Emperor Xuan also knew that now was not the time to be angry. Calming down, he said in a deep voice to the other kings and King Guards who were still immersed in the shock of the Twilight kin's self-destruction: [Everyone, the situation is sudden. Things have come to this point, and we have no way to retreat!]

[Chen Wang colluded with evil gods and betrayed Nine Xuan. He has been executed by me and killed on the spot. The Xiantian army is aggressive, and our defense line has been destroyed. Now we can only arouse the morale of the army and fight with all our strength to block the enemy!]

[Now listen to my orders. All kings, follow me to guard the battle; Seven Heavenly Guards, follow me and establish a defense line!]

[If I don't retreat, Nine Xuan won't be defeated!]

After speaking, the strongest person in the Nine Xuan Realm turned into a fiery line soaring into the sky, illuminating the sky that was gradually entering dusk, and personally rushed to the front line.

The Nine Xuan Realm's reaction did not exceed the Earth's expectations.

According to Bai Yingxue's information, as long as the Earth side has troops entering the Nine Xuan Realm, then Emperor Xuan will personally take action.

With the information from the reborn and the information from Su Zhou's internal informants in the Nine Xuan Realm, as well as the information from the Nine Xuan insurgents from the Pioneer Space (who are still trying to get close to official personnel at the Qingzhou Military Region headquarters to get missions), the Earth side's understanding of the Nine Xuan Realm is probably clearer than most Nine Xuan people.

Originally, the Earth, as the defending side, was not in a hurry to attack. After all, the Nine Xuan Realm was suffering from Twilight, not them... but after receiving the intelligence from Ambassador Thayne the Prophet, knowing that the Twilight kin may continue to perform the ritual and request more reinforcements to arrive, the Earth side could only take the initiative.

As everyone knows, if a family in a building gets cockroaches, it won't take long for the entire building to be occupied by cockroaches.

The Earth and the Nine Xuan Realm are too close, not even comparable to a building. They simply live in the same house, separated by a door.

In that case, can they really let the Nine Xuan Realm bear everything alone?

So, unlike what Emperor Xuan and others thought, the Earth side was not taking advantage of the Nine Xuan Realm's weakness, but to prevent the cockroaches from spreading and took the lead in guarding the door.

Township Protector Liu Li stood in the center of the 'Suppressing Demon Xuanwu Great Array', looking at the sky.

The dark clouds created by the Two Realms Tide Great Array had been dispelled by Emperor Xuan's own power. The surging gale had been ignited by the heat, and the ash-like fire rain had covered the entire sky, just like a small star hanging in the sky, shining on the world.

This is the orthodox method of the Five Emperors, the Red Emperor. Emperor Xuan has obviously cultivated it to a very high level. If he goes one step further and reaches the celestial realm, he may really be able to imitate the scene of the golden crow wreaking havoc in the ancient times, with ten suns appearing at the same time.

"In that case, it would complement my use of the Sunset Bow... but unfortunately it won't work."

The old man smiled softly, not holding a longbow, but holding a long whip made of gold and iron.

Liu Li could see that, under the leadership of Emperor Xuan, the Seven Heavenly Guards directly under him, together with the troops of the other ten Nine Xuan Kings, were turning into a torrent and sweeping towards the space-time gate.

The huge spiritual tide and shock waves surging in the sky surpassed any natural tsunami, easily sweeping hundreds of miles, and could be called a sky-covering phenomenon. Thunder fell from the burning atmosphere from the sky, sweeping towards the ground, shattering many protruding hills and giant rocks, creating a series of violent earthquakes and explosions.

But this was just an aftermath.

The real attack was Emperor Xuan's personal action, urging the 'Sun in the Sky'!

Looking up from the ground, one could see that the huge light ball representing Emperor Xuan's body seemed to condense into a mountain-like, majestic, and terrifying giant palm. It was surrounded by endless plasma and corona-like flames, and was pressing down on the Xuanwu Great Array condensed by the Pioneer Corps of the Zhengguo White Emperor Wei with a thunderous sound surpassing thunder.

This was a celestial attack launched by the Seven Heavenly Guards, with the help of the Two Realms Tide Great Array. Its power was enough to destroy a country, burn mountains, and boil the sea. An ordinary island country would not be said to have its volcanoes erupt, but the tsunami triggered by the aftermath alone could destroy most of its important buildings.

The power of this attack far exceeded that of an ordinary earth immortal, and even surpassed the power of some celestial beings who are not good at fighting!

Faced with such an attack pressing down, even the steel-willed White Emperor Wei soldiers could not help but change their expressions slightly behind the exoskeleton armor. If it were a real volcanic eruption or tsunami, they would not have any fear, but the alien disasters triggered by transcendent power were a deterrent that transcended genes and went straight to the soul.

But Liu Li remained unchanged.

This strongest man in Zhengguo, apart from Su Zhou, the first to advance to the earth immortal realm, looked up at the giant palm of strong light surpassing the sun, and then smiled and raised the golden iron whip in his hand.

"Please, Mountain-Driving Whip!"

The whip, which was originally unremarkable and looked like an ordinary metal long whip, suddenly bloomed with an extremely thick earthy aura when it was raised by Liu Li.

For a time, around the Suppressing Demon Xuanwu Great Array that enveloped the entire Qingzhou-Nine Xuan space-time gate, layers of mountain phantoms, like real objects, appeared because of the appearance of the Mountain-Driving Whip. Those mountain phantoms were actually the phantoms of the peaks around Qingzhou, above the plateau. Each of them was as large as a real mountain, superimposed on each other, and even stimulated countless tiny cloud-pattern talismans to expand and condense into a huge formation.

Although they looked illusory, they were unbelievably solid. The fire and thunder that fell from the sky were enough to easily shatter all the rocks within a radius of hundreds of meters and create huge lava pits, but when they fell on the mountain phantoms transformed by the Mountain-Driving Whip, they only caused the phantoms to tremble slightly, just like the reflection in the water was stirred by a small stone, quickly returning to calm.

This is the power of the Mountain-Driving Whip of Hou Tu—not to mention the mere Qingzhou Mountains, if someone could fully exert the power of this legendary artifact originating from the Supreme Moral Heavenly Lord or Hou Tu, and driven by the Human Emperor, they could drive the power of mountains, rivers, and even tectonic plates and stars to fight and defend.

But now, with Liu Li's strength as an earth immortal, it is impossible to take the initiative to attack, and it can only be used for defense at most.

But even so, it is completely more than enough.

As for Emperor Xuan, although he knew that the other party had used his trump card to stop him, how could he take back the attack that had already been launched?

The sun-like giant palm fell like a meteorite, facing the mountain phantom head-on.

For a time, whether it was the Earth's top brass who were observing the battlefield situation through the lens, or the other kings and King Guards who had received Emperor Xuan's orders and were rushing from various kings' territories, they all saw this scene, and they gasped in shock.

The power of Xiantian and the power of the Nine Xuan Realm shocked both sides.

Yes, Su Zhou had already become an earth immortal, but Su Zhou's power was always only shown to enemies. Whether it was Qingqiu or fighting the Celestrians, it all happened in the distant starry sky... but Emperor Xuan was different. Emperor Xuan was not an ally, but a real enemy, and that divine power, enough to completely erase a metropolis of tens of millions of people from the map, was aimed at the Earth side!

Only at this time did they truly feel what an earth immortal is and what the power of a celestial being is!

As for the Nine Xuan side, the reason for the shock was even simpler.

Because this world-destroying attack was actually blocked by the great formation laid down by the Zhengguo side!

Boom!!!!!!!

The exploding fire and thunder swept across the sky, and the surging shock wave was spreading towards a thousand miles away, wiping out all the clouds and dust along the way—at the point of collision, a vacuum was born, so that the sound temporarily disappeared, but then, vibrations a hundred times louder than thunder, mixed with fragmented spiritual sounds, began to spread.

One could see that the layers of mountain phantoms were shaking violently and then shattering. Under the full-force palm of Emperor Xuan, more than a dozen mountain phantoms were instantly turned into nothingness, and the semi-circular outer layer of the tortoise-shell-like Suppressing Demon Xuanwu Great Array was forced to concave inward, forming a 'concave' shape in the literal sense.

And around the space-time gate, the earth's rock shell directly shattered, and a series of violent cracks and palm-like depressions began to spread, forming a small basin.

Even if the great formation was squeezed and twisted into a ridiculous shape, blocking it was blocking it.

The huge shock wave blew away the dust mist, forming a clearly visible dust mist area at the end of the horizon, where all the smoke and clouds that had been pushed aside gathered.

All the Nine Xuan people who were not strong enough to join the war zone were looking at the distant battlefield here.

But the attack did not stop—if one palm was blocked, then there was a second palm!

[Break!]

At this moment, how could Emperor Xuan not understand that if he could not break the Xiantian's defense now, then the Nine Xuan Realm would be at an absolute disadvantage in future offensive and defensive battles? The Xiantian side, occupying the space-time gate, had strategic initiative. They could fight if they wanted to, and leave if they wanted to, while the Nine Xuan could only be passively beaten and constantly lose blood.

If they couldn't take it down now, wouldn't it be even more impossible to take it down later when the Xiantian side sends reinforcements again?!

Yes, he wanted to end this era and let Nine Xuan be reborn... but that didn't mean that Emperor Xuan could accept the Nine Xuan Realm being stuck by the neck, unable to breathe freely!

But the defense was still solid—with the Mountain-Driving Whip as the core, Liu Li led the most elite group of military guards in Zhengguo and blocked Emperor Xuan's attack head-on!

Even with a Zhengguo divine weapon like the Mountain-Driving Whip, it was very difficult for Liu Li to block Emperor Xuan with his strength that was two small realms lower. If it were not for the old man's firm will and single-minded pursuit of martial arts, without the slightest wavering, if someone else came, the great formation would probably have been shattered by Emperor Xuan's continuous attacks.

At this point, both sides had completely entered a tug-of-war mode—both sides had guards who either could not keep up with Emperor Xuan's attack frequency, or were unable to withstand the shock waves of the guardian formation and fainted, or even died suddenly.

The battle gradually became fierce.

If nothing unexpected happened, that was indeed the case.

However, just when the Nine Xuan and Earth sides were exchanging blows and fighting for the ownership of the space-time gate with their greatest strength.

Suddenly, the space-time gate connecting Nine Xuan Earth suddenly had an unprecedentedly violent reaction!

Boom!

A violent shock was coming from the Nine Xuan space-time gate!

If the ripples generated when the Earth and Nine Xuan troops crossed the two realms before were like raindrops falling on a lake.

Then now, the fluctuations appearing on the space-time gate are simply like a meteorite falling from the sky, smashing the entire lake into a mess!

Visible space-time fluctuations spread in all directions. Watching this scene, whether it was Emperor Xuan's side or Liu Li's side, they all turned their heads and looked in that direction, either puzzled or astonished.

The wind was whistling, the sun was about to set, and in the distance of the Nine Xuan Realm, at the viewing position, Bai Yuntian, who had not joined the space-time gate tug-of-war with the reason of 'being seriously injured before', widened his eyes. The airflow generated by the aftermath of the battle blew his clothes and green long hair, making the Yun King's clothes rustle.

But he didn't care at all, instead looking happily at the space-time gate that seemed to be hammered and twisted into a mess, as if some behemoth was squeezing out of it!

"It's coming!"

He shouted joyfully: "Primordial Candlelight—the Lord is coming!"

It did come.

But in the next moment, the joyful expression of this Nine Xuan Candlelight suddenly turned into doubt and incomprehension.

Because the behemoth that was too huge to be squeezed out of the space-time gate little by little was not the majestic divine dragon he had imagined.

But... a giant ship that couldn't be seen to have any dragon-like appearance at all!

Whoosh—a clear sound rang out, and with the giant ship passing through, the space-time gate, which had been artificially changed in shape, returned to calm again.

But at this time, no one was paying attention to that door anymore.

A huge shadow blocked the Nine Xuan Realm's sunset, and the sky-covering Divine Tree Warship hovered in mid-air, illuminating half the world with silver-cyan light.

Coming from the other end of the distant time and space, the front end of this giant ship, which was covered in cloud-pattern veins, was a spiral drill bit of stars intertwined with countless branches, and at its tail, there were nine huge rocket nozzles. It was covered with dense crystal runes, looking both ancient and futuristic.

And just below this giant ship, there was an extremely bright golden crystal that was very familiar to all those who knew the Candlelight, releasing a radiance comparable to that of a star—it illuminated the entire battlefield, making the dumbfounded expressions of the crowd particularly clear.

The warship passed through the space-time gate and slowly flew in mid-air, and his mere existence had occupied the entire world's gaze in an instant with a powerful aura.

The power of the celestial was like the sky, which could not be ignored.

Crossing time and space and personally coming to Nine Xuan, the young man stared at the world in front of him.

Only now did he truly see the problems facing this world, know why Emperor Xuan would be desperate for this era and intend to end it, and also understand why the Twilight kin would grow here and turn it into the Xuan Demon Realm in Bai Yingxue's possibilities.

Standing high above the sky, Su Zhou looked down on the world.

He could see that the oceans of the entire Nine Xuan Realm were frozen by thousands of years of ice and cold, and the land was desertified.

The wind was whistling and sweeping across the plains and mountains, but there was not much vegetation to resist—the remaining roots of the World Tree could not spread throughout the entire world, and they could not do anything.

Breathing in and out—Su Zhou couldn't help but shake his head. The air quality on the surface of the Nine Xuan Realm was as poor as the air in a tomb that had been sealed for thousands of years, full of stale and deathly silence.

Then, there were the underground fortress cities in the Nine Xuan Realm.

Having personally come to this world, Su Zhou could see what kind of life the mortals and cultivators who were struggling to survive there were living.

They had no entertainment, no leisure. Children had to work with their parents from the age of eight, and had to bear the responsibilities of adults at the age of twelve. And the workplace was deep in the mantle cities, where many people would die and be injured if there were any problems.

Is it meaningful? Living and struggling in such a difficult underground world, and eventually dying, is nothing but emptiness.

Their corpses would become fertilizer for the fields, used to grow moss grain, with no waste at all... this was still ordinary people, and after the cultivators died, the spiritual energy condensed in their bodies would also be used, thrown into the formation furnace of each fortress city to burn, becoming the 'air' that everyone breathes.

Suffering is the footnote to survival, and no one craves to be born in such a world.

But life is still born and exists to this day.

With the eyes of a celestial, Su Zhou could see through the suffering of the Nine Xuan Realm at a glance, and the reason why they chose to fight and go to other worlds.

Raising its bow and looking at the moon in the sky, it was the Heavenly Lord's palace, and in the immense interstar palace, layers of rune light were revealed—they should have been able to adjust the world's environment and turn the Nine Xuan Realm into a human paradise, at least not make it what it is now.

But because of the giant holes of the Twilight kin in the past, they had all stopped working.

Yes, for the Nine Xuan Realm, these are common sense, and they are all things that are no longer normal, and no one would be surprised.

The natural situation is like this, and the Nine Xuan Realm, whose ecology has long collapsed, has only one choice: foreign war and invasion.

And such a world...

"Must be changed! Reformed!"

High in the sky, the giant Divine Tree Warship moved.

It originally looked like a floating mountain, standing between the heaven and the earth, but now, it could be seen that the warship had started its engine, and it began to fly, heading towards the frozen ocean of the Nine Xuan Realm outside the battlefield.

Immediately, the sky, which had been chaotic because of the collision of Emperor Xuan and the Mountain-Driving Whip's power, began to stir once again—the rapid wind began to surge, turning into a spiral armor surrounding the warship, and almost all the spiritual energy around the space-time gate was swept away by the giant ship, and at the same time, the souls of many cultivators who had died in the previous battle were also taken away.

Then, endless spiritual energy began to be condensed by the warship's main gun. Under the expression change of Emperor Xuan, who had turned pale, the main gun at the front end of the warship slowly unfolded, and then, with the rumbling sound of the heaven and earth trembling, an extremely bright red light, just like that, burst out from the main gun's muzzle, drawing an extremely long arc in mid-air, and finally fell on the Nine Xuan Ice Sea thousands of kilometers away.

For a time, in the entire world, it seemed that everything had dimmed, leaving only that extremely bright line of fire, as if there was only this light in the world.

Immediately afterwards, a violent earthquake occurred.

The ice layer that had been frozen for thousands of years did not even have time to crack and break apart. The incredibly high heat directly melted all the ice and snow within a radius of a hundred miles—countless hot water vapors turned into white mist that could cover half the world and rose up, turning into black rain clouds. Under the divine power of the Candlelight, they condensed and cooled, and then were sent by the wind to every direction of the world.

The millennial Xuan ice turned into scorching giant waves, rolling back into the sky, like a waterfall flowing in reverse. It directly extracted fresh water from the entire ocean ice layer and then forcibly sent it in all directions.

"God, God... what kind of power is this..."

"The Ice Sea has melted—look, the entire Pengfei Ocean has completely thawed! Unbelievable, this is a true Burning Mountain and Boiling Sea!"

"Rain... it's raining! After thousands of years, the Yansha Desert has finally rained!"

For a time, all those familiar with the Nine Xuan Realm, whether they were cultivators or mortals, were shocked by that power after seeing this scene, and even more incredulous about the changing world.
