Chapter 589 Great Existences' Kin Are All a Little Touched in the Head… (5200 Small Chapter)

The End?

Hearing this name, Su Zhou paused slightly: "That's interesting."

Although he had long suspected that the aura of this unfamiliar Great Existence should be one he had never encountered before.

But, the Emperor of the Nine Profound Realms, the de facto supreme ruler, was actually a kin of [The End]… No matter how he thought about it, it felt strange!

"But to be fair, every Great Existence's kin is strange, so one more Xuan Emperor doesn't make a difference."

Muttering to himself, Su Zhou recalled the information he had about [The End] in his memory.

According to Yala's communication with other Great Existences, as well as snippets of her usual words, he could recall that there was a bit of a relationship between The End and the Twin Divine Trees, and the relationship wasn't bad.

Moreover, The End was one of the few Great Existences that Yala didn't badmouth when she mentioned them.

Of course, this lack of badmouthing might just be because she hadn't mentioned them often enough. Su Zhou believed that as long as she encountered them more often, Yala would definitely criticize everyone she met.

Also, The End was not Twilight; they were two different Great Existences.

"So, what is the 'correct' held by The End?"

After thinking for a moment, Su Zhou inquired thoughtfully: "Where there is life, there is death, and after death, there is new life… but in the end, everyone dies, right? For the world, that is indeed correct and the truth, but for individuals, it's different."

"For individuals, they can't see the new life after death, so who would acknowledge that 'correct'?"

"Actually, there are quite a few – among those who ushered in the end of the old era and the pioneers of the new era, very few can see the new world being born. Most of them die halfway through ending the old world."

Regarding Su Zhou's confusion, Yala flicked her tail and replied easily: "They all firmly believe that new life will come after the end. As for whether they can see it themselves, that's another matter. Those who don't care about that, those who firmly believe that everything old must end, are His comrades."

-- I see.

Yala's analogy was simple, and Su Zhou instantly understood: "So I was wrong. This 'end' isn't the end of all things, or simply death and destruction, but rather refers to 'the end of a process of things and situations'."

Thinking like this, he chuckled and nodded slightly: "In that case, it seems quite gentle."

To this, the serpent spirit shook her head gently. She revealed a look of reminiscence: "The End… it is true that some of His kin believe in the principle of 'the death of all things', but to be honest, which Great Existence doesn't have kin who go to extremes?"

"But don't think of The End as something terrifying – what everyone is really afraid of is 'sudden death'. Real endings are mostly very long, not a specific point. It is actually a process that every existence will inevitably encounter and experience personally."

"Death?" Su Zhou raised his eyebrows, his tone curious.

"No, death is not the end – death alone has six realms, each being a completely different end. Moreover, some existences have no concept of death at all."

"However, 'sealing' or being 'denied' is also part of the end."

The serpent spirit denied it decisively, she chuckled: "Simply put, like Great Existences, it is indeed difficult to be ended… but since we can be sealed, it proves His correctness."

"Oh?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou's eyes lit up – Yala actually took the initiative to talk about how a Great Existence is 'correct'?

That's rare!

Could it be that Chaos and The End have a good relationship as well?

But soon, Su Zhou was somewhat disappointed to hear Yala begin to habitually comment on The End's shortcomings.

"But obviously, The End also has some problems – why does He default to an end? Although correctness doesn't exist, before failure, one should firmly believe that they can continue to eternity."

With a simple casual criticism, Yala wasn't very interested in the Great Existence that didn't actually appear in front of her – armchair generals were just the hobby of a few, and the serpent spirit never had that interest.

Only face-to-face debates and arguments could arouse 100% of her interest.

Having said that, through some of Yala's explanations, Su Zhou had a general understanding of the concept of The End.

The kin of The End are generally very purposeful.

Their actions are all for the purpose of causing something to 'end' – whether it is shattering the ugly old world, or destroying the happiness of others, whether it is good or evil, suffering or joy, as long as it destroys the original and leads it into the realm of the end, it conforms to the correctness of The End.

In terms of 'different possibilities', The End does have similarities with Chaos, which is why Su Zhou suspected that Yala might have a better relationship with The End.

However, on this point, he and Yala were similar. The young man would not subjectively define the good or bad of the Great Existences he had not really seen. He would have to go to their worlds and witness with his own eyes what kind of world their correctness could create before he would comment.

Now, he turned his head and continued to observe the unexpected 'kin of the end', the Nine Profound Emperor, from Bai Yuntian's perspective.

The kin of a Great Existence… to be honest, that's no ordinary thing.

Even the most widespread Divine Tree kin would possess some of the divinity of the Divine Tree. Whether it was vitality or immortality, it would be greatly enhanced, and the ability to reproduce would also be enhanced. It could be said that they had gained an all-round blessing in terms of bloodline and divine powers out of thin air.

And for slightly stricter Great Existences, their kin were equivalent to having an extra supernatural power panel compared to other cultivators or demon beasts – others only had one supernatural power, but the kin of Great Existences had two, and the degree of strengthening was very high, which was outrageously good.

Of course, it wasn't to say that kin were definitely stronger than non-kin – the advantages brought by supernatural powers hadn't reached that level.

But having someone to back you up was definitely an advantage compared to fighting alone.

Before, Su Zhou felt that although the Xuan Emperor had the strength of a high-level Earth Immortal and possessed a world- trấn神兵 (suppressing-world divine weapon), if he wanted to cross worlds and face the multiple Earth Immortals and multiple trấn国 (nation- trấn神兵 -鎮世神兵 (world-鎮神兵 (nation-suppressing divine weapons) of the Earth civilization, he would definitely not be able to gain any advantage.

In particular, the twenty-four sealed kings of the Nine Profound Realm, although they had reached an agreement on the invasion of Earth, they might not really be very loyal to the Xuan Emperor.

Just like Bai Yingxue's previous life, the Profound Demon Realm's invasion of Earth was also unstoppable in the early stage, but after falling into a stalemate in the later stage and suffering heavy casualties, there seemed to be infighting – the Xuan Emperor, who was only a high-level Earth Immortal, definitely couldn't completely control the other sealed kings who might have the strength of an Earth Immortal.

But now it was different.

"If the Xuan Emperor is really a kin of The End, then it proves that he at least possesses the relevant supernatural powers of The End – in this way, his strength may not be a complete advantage for those of the same level, but for Earth Immortals with a lower realm than him, it is enough to completely suppress them."

Thinking like this, Su Zhou had doubts in his mind: "In Bai Yingxue's memories of her previous life, why didn't the Xuan Emperor leave the Nine Profound Realm and kill everyone?"

"He is obviously a genius who can achieve the high-level Earth Immortal realm in five years, only one or two years slower than me, which is already very fast."

"If the Xuan Emperor takes action, it will definitely be difficult for Earth to stop him."

Obviously, the reason why this was the case was the secret about the Xuan Emperor.

[Cloud King, if there is nothing else, please retreat.]

At this moment, deep in the ground of the Nine Profound Realm, the Xuan Emperor was kindly ordering Bai Yuntian.

He was obviously very polite, even to his nominal subordinates, he would still use honorifics: [Your aura will interfere with the operation of the earth veins in this area. If there is anything, can you come back in a few days?]

"Su, honored one, this…"

Since the Xuan Emperor was so kind, it would seem very abnormal to refuse again. After hearing this, Bai Yuntian could only say yes, and then report to Su Zhou in his heart with some embarrassment: "What should I do?"

"Let's leave first, there's no need to rush this moment."

Su Zhou was naturally not in a hurry either. On the contrary, he felt quite interested in the new information he had obtained about the Xuan Emperor: "Interesting, this area is the 'stagnation point of earth vein energy' with the densest spiritual energy within tens of thousands of miles in my divine sense. The Xuan Emperor came here, obviously also for matters related to the earth vein energy."

The Xuan Emperor's personality also surprised the young man: "He seems to be a kind person who can communicate with, and should be able to listen to reason."

"He's much better than the self-righteous and battle-crazed image I imagined."

Speaking of this, after Bai Yuntian saluted the Xuan Emperor and began to return the way he came, Su Zhou had another question in his mind: "Speaking of which, Yala, what is the difference between the kin of Great Existences and ordinary people? I mean in terms of spirit. Sometimes they clearly recognize the same concept, but some people are kin, and some people are just ordinary people."

"Why is that?"

"Good!"

To this, the serpent spirit immediately became energetic, she nodded with appreciation and replied in the soul space: "Su Zhou, the fact that you can ask this question means that you have thought of the key point!"

"Key point?" Su Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly, he shrugged: "Everyone would have doubts about this, right? After all, the correctness represented by Great Existences is mostly true correctness, which can be seen in both discussions and daily life."

"If you really want to be serious, then are everyone the kin of Great Existences? Obviously not."

The main reason Su Zhou could think of this question was because of what he had seen in the Perfect World.

In the original world of the Perfect World, most of the strong were fulfilling the beliefs of some Great Existences, but for various reasons, none of them were the kin of the relevant Great Existences.

Ming Zhengde was not the kin of Perfect, Hong Ming was not the kin of Lonely Lord, and Tai Hao was not the kin of Fate… Even though they all had relevant supernatural powers, they could not be considered kin.

With the talent and aptitude of these strong people, they were definitely qualified, and they could meet even the most demanding conditions.

If that was the case, why not? What conditions did they not meet, so they could not become the kin of Great Existences?

Moreover, if he continued to think so deeply and continue to encompass everything, then wouldn't any correctness in the entire world, and even the entire multiverse, be taken over by the Great Existences?

Everything, whether it is justice or evil, kindness or viciousness, positive and negative, black and white, are all the paths of the Great Existences.

In that case, can the words and actions of ordinary people really be considered 'self-awareness'?

This was the point that puzzled Su Zhou.

"Actually, it's very simple."

Regarding Su Zhou's doubts and questions, Yala answered very concisely after praising him: "The reason why some people are kin of Great Existences and some people are still ordinary people, even though they are fulfilling the path of correctness, is basically only one."

"That is, many people are not sick enough in essence."

Su Zhou: "?"

Huh?

What, not sick enough?

Facing the doubtful emotions emanating from Su Zhou's soul, which almost had question marks on top of his head, Yala continued unhurriedly: "Apart from the races that are born as kin, the minds of all those who can become kin acquired have considerable problems and abnormalities in essence."

"Their thinking logic is different from ordinary people – at least the vast majority of their race."

"As everyone knows, those who are different from ordinary people are monsters. Only by becoming abnormal like monsters can they meet the basic conditions for being kin and receive blessings… otherwise, if the entire race is like this, then the entire race is receiving a call."

"As for how monstrous it is specifically…"

Speaking of this, Yala raised her tail and pointed to Su Zhou's own soul image.

She didn't say a word, but the meaning was already very clear.

-- Look in the mirror, and you'll know?

"Tsk, I want to refute, but for the first time, I feel like I can't refute anything…"

Su Zhou couldn't help but click his tongue – although he often said that he was an ordinary person, and that both his mind and logic were very normal.

But he also understood very well that he was different from ordinary people. Although he might make the same choices as ordinary people in certain matters, the process by which he achieved the same results was completely different.

And at this moment, Yala seemed to be getting excited as she spoke.

The crimson serpent spirit was entrenched on the branches of the spirit of the Tree of Wisdom. She cleared her throat and said solemnly: "Some people are born as the kin of certain existences. Their thinking logic is completely different from ordinary people, and the extent of their strangeness may even make their fellow clansmen completely unable to understand."

"For example, for example, can you imagine that a person just wants to become stronger – without any purpose, without any wish, he doesn't want wealth and beauty, nor does he want delicious food and mansions. He doesn't like enjoyment, nor does he care about bitter cultivation."

"He just wants to simply 'become stronger', and to that end, he pursues 'transcendence', pursues self-[transcendence], and nothing else."

"Can you imagine such an existence?"

"No matter how many hardships he needs to go through in the process of pursuing becoming stronger and pursuing transcendence, even if it is a crisis of life and death, he doesn't care at all, and thinks that this is a part of his life, just like you eat, drink and sleep every day, all of this is his life, the most ordinary daily life."

"Don't think about whether this idea is reasonable or normal, or whether it is possible to do so. In fact, as far as I know, there really are such existences. Among the kin of [Transcendence], there are some who live like this."

Saying this with a meaningful tone, Yala shook her head slightly: "Everyone will yearn to become stronger, yearn to transcend – but among ordinary people, who would be so obsessed with it?"

"Let's take another analogy."

"A person who just wants to fight – no matter the danger, no matter the purpose, no matter the victory or defeat, no matter the ending, it doesn't matter if he fights for a lifetime, it doesn't matter if he fights to the end of eternity, as long as it is a full-force fight, who knows what else he wants besides fighting…"

"If such an existence encounters any difficulties and obstacles, he doesn't even need to use his brain to come up with hundreds of ways and measures to fight the enemy, and then directly throws a punch. His enemies rack their brains and can't imagine why such an evil star suddenly popped out to fight against them, and as a result, they later learned that he most likely just wanted to find a strong opponent to fight. And he does this almost every day."

"Can you imagine such an existence?"

Yala was not speaking quickly.

And hearing this midway, Su Zhou frowned.

"I can accept it… but I can't imagine it. At least until I really meet such a person, it's hard for me to imagine that such a person exists."

He exhaled a breath and said solemnly: "Are you saying that if you want to become kin, you have to be so weird? That's too strict…"

"The point is not weirdness, but obsession." Yala pointed out: "You need to have such an obsession with the correctness you recognize that you can abandon other external things, just like you can change the entire world for the correctness in your heart. That kind of obsession is the foundation."

"Obsession, huh…"

At this moment, Bai Yuntian had already begun to rise, leaving the mantle layer.

Su Zhou's separated spirit residing in his body turned his gaze, and he looked remotely behind Bai Yuntian, in the direction where the Xuan Emperor was before.

The young man thoughtfully said: "Then, what exactly is the Xuan Emperor's obsession?"

At the same time.

Deep underground.

The Xuan Emperor, who was exuding the light of the power of aspiration, also raised his head in a somewhat strange manner, looking in the direction where Bai Yuntian and Su Zhou left.

[Cloud King… is indeed a little strange.]

He muttered in a low voice: [It's not strange that his injuries healed quickly. I also have secret medicines that can quickly heal most injuries… but he suddenly acted out of character, coming to this deep mantle from the Cloud King's territory closest to the surface…]

[There must be an ulterior motive.]

The Xuan Emperor was very clear that there was indeed a mysterious force behind the Cloud King. This could be seen from the fact that he was always able to transport a large amount of materials from nowhere to help the civilians in the Cloud King's territory.

And this kind of power was similar to the increasingly frequent mysterious figures appearing in the thirty-three territories of the Nine Profound Realm.

However, the Xuan Emperor didn't care about this.

The Cloud King used that power to help civilians and stabilize the social situation, and those mysterious figures had not done anything that angered the heavens and people, and did not affect the overall situation of the Nine Profound Realm… In that case, no matter what kind of power it was, he could try to use it for his own purposes.

As long as it could contribute to the Nine Profound Realm, find a way out for this desperate world and civilization, and end the current desperate situation, then it would all be good things.

Thinking like this, the Xuan Emperor sighed lightly.

He raised his head and stared at the churning earth veins in front of him. Endless energy flowed in the depths of the Nine Profound Realm's earth, which was enough to change the world and change everything.

[As long as there is a result… that can end everything and completely end this era, that's all that matters.]

[Even if the process is a disaster for the people and the world is turned upside down… as long as it can change this desperate everything, it can be accepted.]
