Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 26 Zhutian Wanjie Candlelight System (6600)

Chapter 594 Zhutian Wanjie Zhuzhou System (6600)

After bidding farewell to the reluctant Jiu Xuan Zhuzhou Bai Yuntian, Su Zhou prepared for a period of time and then entered the Pioneer Space in his best condition.

Ant-Man Lich Ansett, as a backup he had deliberately left behind, had also been under the youth's attention recently.

Although he didn't know all the details of the other party's adventures, Su Zhou could judge that the information he said was not a lie, and the various details were similar to what he had sensed before.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have used any coercive means and treated him quite generously.

Now, after learning a lot of information about the World Tree and the Twilight from Ansett, the young man fell into deep thought.

"Interesting. In the past, the Jiu Xuan Realm may have also possessed a World Tree, but the World Tree died for various reasons, causing the current situation of the Jiu Xuan Realm to be extremely similar to the 'Dead Tree' world in the multiverse."

"Is this also a kind of reflection?"

The Jiu Xuan Realm was transformed from a divine tree by the various Celestial Sovereigns and Great Celestial Sovereigns. Su Zhou was not surprised by this, after all, the function of the World Tree lineage was like this.

Thinking about the 'Jianmu' that connected the realms of humans and gods, wasn't it also transformed by the Central Divine Court into the huge 'Jianmu Divine Boat' and crossed the void of the multiverse? Anyway, for the divine tree, this was not considered death, just a change of form.

But the problem was, how could a World Tree completely lose all vitality, to the point of causing the Jiu Xuan Realm to fall to such a state?

Su Zhou knew the divine tree very well. It was a creature with an exaggeratedly tenacious vitality. If other cultivators and spirit beasts might die from returning to mortals and aging after losing their spiritual energy, plants were different. They were already long-lived, and losing their spiritual energy would only make them 'slightly' short-lived.

In other words, from endless life, to only 'hundreds of thousands of years.'

Listen to that, 'only' hundreds of thousands of years!

Humans would be envious to tears!

In short, even if the divine tree lost most of its body due to the exhaustion of spiritual energy, its core should retain vitality, and when the time came, it would immediately awaken, and in a suitable environment, it could recover to nearly its peak state within a few short years.

Just like the Banrong Undead Tree in the Divine Tree World. Although it did not develop intelligence, its body had already occupied the entire area around Southern Sky Capital within five years, and it had nurtured its own ecosystem. Unless a strong person in the Overlord tier, or a Hegemon Earth Immortal personally took action, it would be impossible to eradicate it.

Obviously, the Jiu Xuan Realm did not have such signs. The World Tree that may have existed was completely dead, and the forests remaining on the surface were only the last trace of its existence.

"Although it's a guess, it should be the Twilight—or rather, the Twilight's believers—who did it."

In the soul space, Yala's expression was serious at the moment. He stared at the various materials summarized by Su Zhou in front of him, and then nodded frequently: "This Pioneer guy is really good at collecting information, to say the least... I see, I understand now."

The serpent spirit, who seemed to have understood something, raised his head from the spirit of the Wisdom Tree. He met Su Zhou's eyes, his tone carrying a trace of solemnity: "Think about it carefully, this matter has been strange from the beginning."

"Although the Celestial Sovereigns and Heavenly Emperors of your Earth civilization have not yet transcended the system of individual extraordinary civilizations, they are considered rare and enlightened civilizations in the multiverse... Although their attitude towards their people and mortals is aloof, it is indeed full of 'love'."

"To be fair, it is."

Hearing this, Su Zhou nodded in agreement.

Whether it was on Earth, Qingqiu Star, or even the Beast God Realm, Su Zhou vaguely sensed a kind of 'love' in the hearts of many Immortals and Gods of the 'Central Divine Court' that ordinary people could hardly understand...

This love was not simply being good to someone, giving someone benefits and opportunities, but a kind of expectation, a hope of belief.

On Earth, this love was the numerous inheritances; in Qingqiu, this love was the freedom of letting go; in the Beast God Realm, although the methods were cruel, the arrogant Immortals and Gods also gave their 'beasts' in their eyes the opportunity to become 'humans' and obtain their inheritance. This was certainly distorted and undesirable, but it was indeed 'love.'

"Good."

Seeing Su Zhou express his attitude like this, Yala nodded, and then raised a question: "Then, why would such a civilization of Immortals and Gods, which obviously has a brain, has love, and treats you, the foxes, and the Beast God Realm equally, allow the Jiu Xuan Realm to encounter such a disaster?"

"This..."

Immediately, Su Zhou was slightly stunned, and then widened his eyes: "That's right—how could the Immortals and Gods allow the stars of the Jiu Xuan Realm to go out and fall into a lightless and desperate situation?"

"Is that reasonable?"

Yala only said one sentence, but it pierced through the layer of window paper that the young man had not noticed before.

He quickly noticed the irrationality in this matter.

The Jiu Xuan Realm was a God-made world.

According to the records in the Transmission Tower, the original Jiu Xuan Realm was just an ordinary and unremarkable barren world without any unique features or vitality.

But because it was connected to the Kunlun Secret Realm above, and the ancestral lands of the Shao Hao, Jiu Li and other lineages below, the Western side was where the Gods of the Plateau Snow Mountain were located, and the Eastern side was the Central Plains, it was valued by several Celestial Sovereigns living nearby as a hub that could connect many secret realms. Therefore, they joined hands to transform it and use it as another hidden small hub.

The specific transformation process was not recorded in the ancient books, but the palaces of the nine Celestial Sovereigns and Great Celestial Sovereigns replaced the original light source of this world and transformed into the nine Celestial Stars of this realm, hence this realm was named Jiu Xuan.

Thousands of years ago, the spiritual energy of the Earth universe and the surrounding adjacent universes was about to be completely cut off. The last batch of Immortals and Gods who left also evacuated the Jiu Xuan Realm, leaving behind the Jiu Xuan people on whom they placed their highest expectations, hoping that they could grow into a new civilization in this incredibly comfortable and superior world that had been transformed, one that could inherit their system.

Just like Earth, Qingqiu, and several other worlds that had also left behind their descendants.

But in this way, the problem came.

Could it be that the Immortals and Gods did not know that when the spiritual energy was cut off, the Jiu Xuan Realm would fall into a lightless and desperate situation?

Could it be that they did not know that the Jiu Xuan people would be on the verge of extinction under the impact of ecological collapse, and would eventually have to hide underground to survive?

Su Zhou felt that the Immortals and Gods were not so malicious as to think that humans could only grow if they suffered.

"Those who fear the severance of spiritual energy are essentially only the weak Heavenly Immortals and most of the Earth Immortals—when one truly reaches the realm of Celestial Sovereigns, they definitely have the spare power."

"Although they cannot protect the entire civilization, the joint efforts of several Celestial Sovereigns and Great Celestial Sovereigns, among whom there are even the 'Red Emperor', 'White Emperor', and 'Azure Dragon Star Sovereign', who are considered well-known powerhouses among the Great Celestial Sovereigns—with the protection of the palaces left behind by these Immortals and Gods, the Jiu Xuan Realm should not have lost its light source within tens of thousands of years!"

At this moment, Su Zhou closed his eyes. He recalled every scene when he focused on the environment of the Jiu Xuan Realm when he entrusted his divine thought to Bai Yuntian, and he couldn't help but whisper to himself: "They must have designed related backhands for the Jiu Xuan Realm, which could protect the Jiu Xuan civilization until it could cope with the future."

"It's just that the backhand failed for some reason, or was destroyed by someone!"

—Just like the World Tree that died inexplicably! The reason for the death of the divine tree and the lack of light in the Jiu Xuan Realm must be related to some man-made destruction!

"It's the Twilight's believers, they love to do this."

Yala nodded, he was very familiar with the current situation, and could even say that he had seen it many times.

The serpent spirit had a helpless expression at this time: "It may be the despair caused by the departure of the Immortals and Gods for a while, or it may be the self-abandonment after falling into a spiritless environment and being unable to cultivate. In short, if a being has the idea that 'everything is meaningless' or related thoughts, then that being may be converted into a believer of the Twilight."

"But even if these believers obtain power from the Twilight, they will not have hope again. Most of them will become nihilistic agents and will not be afraid of death—because death, turning into nothingness, is the freedom they desire."

Speaking of this, Yala also seemed a little headache, because he really did not know what the Twilight's correctness was—anyone with logic would find it difficult to understand, and those who could understand the Twilight had become his believers.

"In short, they are all a bunch of lunatics, and cannot be measured by common sense."

Although Su Zhou didn't understand, he could understand what Yala meant. He nodded slightly and said thoughtfully: "Moreover, since there may have been believers of the Twilight who took advantage of the severance of spiritual energy to kill the divine tree that served as the foundation of the Jiu Xuan World, and extinguished the light of the Celestial Sovereigns' palaces in the sky."

"Then, there may also be Twilight believers in the current Jiu Xuan Realm, right?"

"Indeed."

Because it was related to the Twilight and the World Tree, Yala rarely became more talkative: "Moreover, Su Zhou, don't forget that the 'Twilight's' dependents are among the few who can hunt 'True Spirits' in the early stages."

"True Spirits cannot be destroyed, at most reincarnated. This is a new rule that has appeared in the multiverse after the War of Correctness—but the Twilight is different. His power can completely destroy the True Spirit—in the words of the Twilight believers, it is 'liberation,' and then obtaining power from it."

"In other words, their existence itself will promote various events that cause a large number of deaths and injuries, thereby capturing 'True Spirits.'"

"I know."

Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but feel a chill. He understood what this meant.

Judging from Bai Yingxue's previous life, there should have been pushers from the Twilight dependents in the process of the Jiu Xuan Realm transforming into the Xuanmo Realm and invading Earth... The war between the two realms caused deaths and injuries that could be counted in the billions. God knows how many people died in that world's Earth during the Xuanmo Realm war.

Moreover, from the origin, the current extreme and extremely aggressive civilization form of the Jiu Xuan Realm should also have been gradually formed by the Twilight dependents behind the scenes!

"No, these Twilight dependents are too annoying, right?"

Just thinking about it, Su Zhou frowned. He clicked his tongue and said: "Deducing from this, this Twilight... no wonder his popularity is worse than yours!"

"That's for sure."

To this, Yala snorted, he was quite dissatisfied: "The predecessor of the War of Correctness was actually called the 'Twilight Crusade'—many great existences claimed to join forces to destroy the Twilight, but in the middle of jointly sealing it, those great existences who participated in the seal started fighting among themselves because of quarrels."

"You also know what happened next. A group of great existences fought each other in a mess, and I was relatively unfortunate and was accidentally focused on."

"Fortunately, I finally brought Perfection with me to the end, otherwise I would have felt quite aggrieved."

Using this sentence as a summary, Yala's tone was triumphant.

"Then you can be happy."

Su Zhou was too lazy to care about Yala, who had already begun to sarcastically target the great existences who had joined forces to besiege him.

He concentrated his divine thought and once again contacted the Ant-Man Lich Ansett, who was waiting for his reply in the Pioneer Space.

"Your Excellency? How do you feel?"

Sensing that Su Zhou had contacted him again, Ansett sighed in his heart, but still reluctantly replied: "The information I collected... did you use it?"

[Very good, the information you gave me helped me figure out a lot of things.]

Su Zhou naturally spoke the truth and praised the other party's speed: [I am very satisfied. If there is any new information about the 'World Tree' and the 'Twilight' in the future, just tell me directly through this channel.]

"No problem."

To this, Ansett naturally would not refuse—it was not an excessive request, it was just a trivial matter that he should pay attention to when he was carrying out tasks and communicating with other explorers.

But soon, Su Zhou's next words made him slightly stunned.

[Since you have completed my request, then I will not break my promise.]

[The reward that should be given to you will be given to you... take it!]

After the voice originating from the depths of his soul finished speaking, the Ant-Man Lich frighteningly sensed that there was an extremely majestic collection of information, like a tsunami and flood, pouring towards the depths of his soul in response to the perception in the dark.

"Wait a minute, this reward, I don't..."

At the first moment, out of fear, Ansett originally wanted to refuse this 'gift' originating from the original Zhuzhou.

But soon, after the flood of information was analyzed, his words stopped abruptly halfway.

At this moment, eight bright characters were floating in front of Ansett's retina.

[—Zhutian Wanjie Zhuzhou System—] (Multiverse Zhuzhou System)

Then, what followed was a large amount of information about himself!

"Age, cultivation, race, cultivation methods, origin, various abilities, whether there are hidden injuries, review of past history, and perfect deduction about the future... no, this is too accurate, right?!"

Standing under the light sphere of the Pioneer Space, Ansett was now stunned as he sensed the large amount of information that emerged in his soul: "And, and the power of Myriad World Innovation—you only need to follow the wishes of others, bring innovation to the world, and then you can use this power to accelerate the correction, correct some mistakes in the inheritance, and carry out Myriad World Innovation..."

"This, this system... is actually so miraculous?!"

For a time, Ansett couldn't help but try it out. He used a little bit of Myriad World Innovation reserved in the system and began to correct some shortcomings in his cultivation method.

Although his Lich transformation method was already perfect enough, it was still slightly insufficient in terms of details. The soul fire could not flow to every part of the body, so the resonance rate could not always be increased to one hundred percent when casting spells.

"This, this feeling!"

As soon as the power of Myriad World Innovation was activated, Ansett immediately felt a flash of inspiration in his mind—it was like a flash of lightning flashed across the darkness, illuminating the entire soul space. His voice instantly became rough: "That's great, I gradually understand everything..."

It was not that he suddenly had inspiration, but that his thinking speed suddenly accelerated, and his observation ability was greatly improved.

This dual blessing of 'perception' and 'thinking' instantly made him clearly capture some mistakes and deficiencies in his daily practice.

During the short three minutes that the trial version of Myriad World Innovation lasted, Ansett found seventeen imperfections in his cultivation method. He remembered these deficiencies clearly and could correct and modify them one by one when he had time.

And this was just what he could find, the Ant-Man Lich believed that there were definitely more and more critical errors in his cultivation method that needed to be corrected.

However, seventeen was enough to surprise him.

"It's only been three minutes, and the errors found are enough for me to increase the resonance by about 2.4%... If the duration is longer, then wouldn't I be able to self-correct, self-improve, and continuously improve all the time?"

Withdrawing his thoughts from himself, Ansett's shock at this moment originated from Su Zhou: "And that original Zhuzhou, I am afraid that he maintains this state of self-innovation all the time?!"

"No wonder he is so powerful and advanced to immortality in a short period of time... With such talent and ability, he doesn't need the resources of the Pioneer Space at all, and he can become a strong man!"

"If the Bosses of high-difficulty world missions are all monsters of the original Zhuzhou level..."

Thinking like this, even with the Lich's body, Ansett couldn't help but swallow a nonexistent ant acid.

As for before, he seemed to have said that he didn't want this reward...

Of course, he ate it! Wasn't saying words out loud for the sake of eating? Just like the setting is written for the sake of swallowing, I believe everyone will understand.

In short, this system is really great, he wouldn't exchange it for even three S-level opening permissions!

Sensing Ansett's cherished emotions, Su Zhou smiled slightly: [The Zhutian Wanjie Zhuzhou System is still a 0.17 trial version. Remember to give feedback every few days. I will correct and upgrade it according to the feedback from the trial run.]

[In short, you can use it first. If there is a problem, tell me directly, and I will fix the Bug.]

"Okay, Your Honor, I will listen to you!"

At this point, Ansett was too lazy to be cautious anymore—although he could guess that the original Zhuzhou had the plan to use him to test his system, but... so what?

Easy to use is easy to use, this is called a win-win!

At this point, the communication between Su Zhou and Ansett came to an end.

However, before leaving, because he was in a good mood, the young man gave an extra sentence: [By the way, Ansett, take a closer look at the photos of the planet you took in the 'Obscure Star' mission you performed last time.]

"What?" Ansett was stunned, he didn't know why the topic suddenly changed.

But next, Su Zhou's words made his hair stand on end.

[The world of reincarnation is round on top and square on the bottom. You may not know what a normal planet looks like... but in my opinion, that world is very obvious.]

[That is obviously the corpse of a powerful creature! That planet is not even spherical, it doesn't look like a serious planet at all.]

Saying so leisurely, Su Zhou withdrew his divine thought: [Not only that, all the stars in your world look like this... that is simply a cemetery star field full of corpses, which is really a bit interesting.]

[New life on the corpse, revival after the end. It seems that that world is related to the great existence 'End'. If you are interested, after returning to that world, you can try to explore in this direction.]

Leaving these words, it was regarded as arousing Ansett's curiosity, and letting him try to find the truth behind that mysterious world himself.

Su Zhou then completely withdrew his divine thought and returned to the Earth universe.

"Next, it's time to go to the Jiu Xuan Realm to see what's going on."

Gaining a lot of information from the Pioneer Space, and already vaguely understanding the undercurrents behind the Jiu Xuan Realm, Su Zhou couldn't wait to try to find out what was going on there.

Although he did promise the various Holy Seats that he would not actively take action against the Jiu Xuan Realm and affect the Zheng Country's training... but he would not take action against the Jiu Xuan civilization either, but only clear out the possible Twilight forces in it.

Isn't this understandable?

Thinking like this, Su Zhou shook his branches and projected his consciousness again through the Emancipation Tree, transferring it to the front line of the Qingzhou Time-Space Gate.

At this time, the front line was still peaceful. Neither the Earth side nor the Jiu Xuan Realm took the initiative to attack, and were still waiting quietly.

Sensing the extra pioneer aura in the camp, Su Zhou couldn't help but understand: "It seems that the seeds I planted with Bai Yuntian have sprouted—the surrender of this group of Jiu Xuan Realm pioneer explorers is still very useful, and can provide a lot of information about the internal affairs of the Jiu Xuan Realm."

"Especially regarding the Xuandi and the Twilight—according to their knowledge, they should also be able to sense the identity of the Xuandi as a dependent of the end, and the surge of Twilight-related thoughts within the civilization."

"It's just, after all, they are the dependents of the pioneers, all unreliable fun-seekers, and cannot be relied on too much."

Thinking like this, Su Zhou shook his head slightly, and sighed: "Speaking of which, little brother Jiu Ming and Shuangyue are also explorers, maybe I should accumulate some virtue in my words?"

"But these two... um... don't seem to be particularly serious people either?"

The young man did not know that his little sister had joined forces with Jiu Ming and directly opened a live broadcast group to conduct an unprecedented live broadcast of the Pioneer Space exploration.

If he knew, he would definitely withdraw his question and directly change it to a statement—the dependents of the pioneers are obviously unreliable.

Just as Su Zhou was preparing to continue projecting his divine thought and go to the Jiu Xuan Realm to explore.

Suddenly, he sensed a wave of weak soul fluctuations coming from the reconnaissance insects sent by the Kun tribe and demon tribe under the Beast God Realm to investigate the intelligence of the Jiu Xuan Realm.

And that wave was actually transmitted to Su Zhou!

[Hello.] An old voice came: [Su Zhou.]

[I have been looking for your whereabouts all the time, but I have not been able to find you. It is probably fate that I can meet you in this place today.]

"It's strange, how can they find me?"

This point did indeed surprise Su Zhou. Although his divine thought projection was not without any traces, with the suppression of the Heavenly Immortal realm, it was difficult for ordinary Holy Seats to detect his divine thought sweeping.

However, the divine thought projected from the Kun tribe's reconnaissance insect seemed to be as sensitive as himself. It instantly discovered his arrival and locked onto the specific projected Emancipation Tree body!

As for knowing him, it was not surprising. Rather, who in the entire Pan-Earth civilization circle would not know him now?

He was now truly a big figure that the Earthlings would see often.

"Who are you? Where do you come from?"

Without any hesitation, Su Zhou directly sent a message: "Why are you possessing this body?"

"Although I don't know why you are looking for me, this is a military heavy ground. If you don't reveal your identity, I will regard you as an enemy and launch an attack."

Su Zhou's questioning was not angry or excited, just repeating the script.

In any case, no matter how strong the projector of this divine thought was, or how sensitive it was, it was a taboo to probe the heavy ground where the two realms were confronting each other at will. If he really had to take action, he, Su Zhou, would not be merciful.

[You don't know me, but I am very familiar with you.]

Regarding Su Zhou's questioning, the old voice replied calmly, with a hint of intriguing meaning: [I have no name, and rarely refer to myself, but your ancestors in the past gave me a good name.]

['Lord of Life Tree'.]

[That's what they called me.]
