Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 1 The Coffin Lid Moved! (8000, Thank you to Alliance Leader Ending Isn't Warm for Sending Blades!)
Great Existences and their kin, a wondrous relationship.
Like the sun shining upon all living beings, the former transcends time and space, bestowing upon all related kin in the multiverse, and even other multiverses, powers, divine abilities, and even inheritances, without demanding anything in return.
As long as one formally embarks on the correct path of following the Great Existences, becoming an existence different from ordinary people, then no matter where they are, even in the deepest abyss, or the most sacred paradise, from the territory of immortals and gods, all the way to the divine realms of gods and demons, as long as there is an existence that walks this path, they will all receive blessings.
And then, obtain the strength to continue walking forward.
——Why do Great Existences need kin?
They are self-existent and eternal, complete in themselves, needing no one else to prove them.
Nurturing kin seems entirely superfluous.
But this thought is fundamentally wrong.
Because it is not that the Great Existences need kin.
But that kin need the Great Existences as pillars, and the Great Existences have simply permitted it.
For kin, the Great Existences are compassion, are love.
Are tolerance, guidance, permission, observation, and expectation.
"Actually, I've always wondered if the chaos in our multiverse is all the fault of the Great Existences?"
"With the power of the Great Existences, people like the Demon Emperor, the Spirit Descent Society, the Void Cult, and some wicked explorers in the Pioneer Space, gain the means to realize the evil desires in their hearts."
"But I also know very well that there are not only evil kin in our multiverse—many sacred trees, the Elias, the Thenostians, Ming Zhengde, and even myself, all gained power because of the Great Existences, so we can carry out all benevolent desires."
A cyan-purple soul light rapidly travels through the void, protected by a silver-white glow.
The stagnant void is frozen, displaying a shattered crystalline structure.
The light emanating from countless worlds is repeatedly transmitted, focused, diffused, and shining in these crystals.
But the source of these lights lacks any life.
The vast majority of worlds in the entire multiverse are desolate, barren, and silent: they are broken and chaotic, like ruins after a war, unattended and disorganized, perhaps requiring trillions of years to restore their vitality.
But before that, this multiverse, serving as a prison, might collapse and shatter.
There may be no chance for new sprouts to grow from all the burned ashes, and not all prisoners will be able to break free from their shackles and gain freedom.
Within this ice-frozen void enveloped by pale light, a scarlet serpent spirit accompanies a cyan-purple soul light.
In the state of a soul, all senses become more acute, and all thoughts become more direct, without the need to convert them into language, but directly expressing ideas, making it difficult to lie.
——Because with the Great Existences, any evil will be permitted.
——Similarly, with the Great Existences, any goodness will be encouraged.
Destruction requires power, and help also requires power.
Not to mention the multiverse, just like Earth, like Su Zhou himself.
If his parents were not a police officer and a doctor, in a well-off family.
And his friends were not rich young masters like Shao Qiming, able to provide him with 'friendship' and 'money' in support.
Then whether it was doing good or evil, he would have no power.
Because what he would need to consider is survival.
With power, one can help others; one can stop criminals, break the limbs of human traffickers, silence the bullies in school with fear, break the hands of unrepentant thieves, and beat robbers half to death.
With money and resources, one can buy equipment, obtain initial capital for rituals, and become even stronger, creating a virtuous cycle, and a better world.
Su Zhou was too lucky, from the beginning, to obtain all the power to change things.
But precisely because of this, Su Zhou knew better than anyone else: besides lucky people like himself, there must be more ordinary people who are willing to do good.
It's just that they still need to work to support themselves, and still need to think about their families and relatives.
They have goodness and love, but they will definitely pour it on their loved ones first before sharing it with others.
Of course, they want to. Looking at the tragic things in the world, the children in the mountainous areas, the abandoned old people in impoverished villages, the bewildered innocent civilians in war-torn lands, people with love will empathize and want to help them escape their predicament.
It's just that they can't do it.
Su Zhou knows all too well that people like himself are a minority, and even if ordinary people have good intentions, it is impossible to regard doing good as a way of life, let alone wander through the worlds like him, spreading his kindness to all the worlds he can set foot in.
Similarly, doing evil is also the same.
Evil without power can never sprout, and even temporary madness will only lead to self-destruction, let alone regard doing evil as a life creed, ignoring all obstacles to fulfill it.
They would even be ridiculed for waving a knife at people, then beaten to the ground with bare hands, and then sent to prison.
And the Great Existences are the support for all of this.
No matter who they are, what race, country, or belief; what they were like before, where they are located.
Whether it is good or evil, as long as they set foot on the correct path of the Great Existences, becoming kin, they will have the power to fulfill the correctness in their hearts.
Regardless of whether the source of this power is mutation, awakening, gaining superpowers, or inheritance and divine abilities; in short, they have all escaped the 'dilemma of reality' and can directly reach the 'correctness in their hearts'.
As for whether this dream is the brilliant goodness of gold, or the flawless belief of silver.
This dream is the resolute steel, the obsessive iron, the rigid bronze, and even the resentful lead and tin... that is all later.
"The Great Existences have made everything extreme."
"They are themselves extreme beliefs and correctness, so they have spawned extreme good and evil—good people can travel through the multiverse, helping everything they want to help; evil people can roam through the heavens and worlds, wantonly spreading their malice."
"When fulfilling one's beliefs can itself obtain power and inheritance, constantly walking forward, then whether it is good or evil, it will become extreme."
"Good can save the world, evil can destroy the world, which is an impossible situation in an ordinary world, where there is only order and chaos, interests and strategies, and good and evil are only embellishments, and people's preferences cannot affect the direction of the world."
"But because there are Great Existences, all of this becomes normal, and the dreams of all things, whether good or bad, have become the main reason for influencing the future of this multiverse."
A voice echoes in the void.
Kin need the Great Existences as pillars, and the Great Existences have permitted it.
Therefore, for them, the Great Existences are compassion, are love.
Are tolerance, guidance, permission, observation, and expectation.
The path of the Great Existences is their dream.
Therefore, for those kin.
They are the true and unadulterated correctness.
——Multiverse·Ice-Frozen Void——
——The Great Emptiness Area——
Su Zhou used the Celestial Scale to open a space-time gate, following the twilight aura left by the Star Devourer, and sped towards the direction of the 'Twilight World Cluster'.
In this process, he constantly used the coordinates given to him by the Great Dao Tree to carry out precise re-positioning—otherwise, the guidance of the Celestial Scale would not be so accurate, and any world with some twilight aura would be regarded as the destination.
But, in this process, a sea-like tremor came from the distant end, and then spread throughout the myriad worlds.
In the depths of the darkness, a dim light lit up, transforming into a light mist that seemed to exist and not exist, spreading towards everything in the void, and then being dyed with a yellowish-brown luster.
The transmission light sphere supported by the Celestial Scale was also like this, it touched this light and was also dyed with this color.
But nothing happened.
"The Pioneer Space... is shaking?"
The cyan-purple soul light flickered slightly. Su Zhou himself did not perceive any abnormality, and even the surrounding world did not change in any way, as if it was just simply and meaninglessly applying a strange filter to everything.
But he was surprised to find that the infinitely extending symmetrical radiation lines in the distance, which represent the Pioneer Space, were shaking and even blurring in this yellowish-brown halo.
Then, as the Celestial Scale continued to advance, even more incredible things happened.
The ice-frozen void disappeared.
The brilliant light, the crystalline void, world after world, along with all the ripples, tremors, all disappeared, and only a blank void, and a yellowish-brown halo, silently existed in place.
Empty, void. Like the void area in the universe, outside the material circle like a thread network, that extends for hundreds of light-years, and even a longer distance, nothing exists in this void, no worlds, no debris, and not even the fluctuations of time and space.
Under the guidance of the twilight aura, under the guidance of the coordinates given by the Great Dao Tree, Su Zhou came to a void area where there were no worlds at all.
"What's going on, Yala?"
Temporarily stopping his steps, the cyan-purple soul light expanded and contracted in confusion, as if shaking his head: "Are the coordinates correct? Or can the Celestial Scale also make mistakes?"
"...It is indeed very strange."
At this moment, even Yala could not give an answer. The scarlet serpent spirit shook its head slightly. He puzzledly said: "According to the battle between the World Tree and Twilight, their worlds should be intertwined. Since this is the case, there should be many worlds around here."
"Why would a large void area form? Could it be..."
The current multiverse has been divided into several distinct regions with unique characteristics. This division is considered an attempt for the explorers of the Pioneer Space, and it is not unfamiliar to world travelers like Su Zhou who often enter and exit worlds.
Among them, the Earth universe and the surrounding world clusters are located in the 'Sealed Area' at the very top of the multiverse. This area is directly separated by the Great Seal, and can even be said to be located around and even within the core hub of the Great Seal, completely isolated from the general multiverse.
Then, there is the 'Great Ash Area' where the world clusters of the Silent Lord system are located. Most of the worlds in this area are the remnants of the void after countless worlds have been destroyed. The dust of the world, which is extremely precious in other normal world clusters, is everywhere in this place, endless.
Next, there is the 'Extremely Dark Area' where the world clusters of the Perfect system are located. Although the worlds in this area have not been destroyed, they do not emit light. Like the Perfect World, they carry out internal self-circulation, endless reincarnation, which in a sense is also a difficult place to discover.
Others, such as the 'Ice-Frozen Void' that occupies most of the multiverse, are essentially normal world clusters that are still blocked by the Great Seal. These worlds and even the surrounding void are completely governed by the Great Seal. In those worlds, the number of kin is probably very small, thus maintaining the stability of order.
But now...
Su Zhou paused in the 'Great Void Area' for a moment, and then set off again.
"I guess the Great Seal here has almost completely collapsed."
At this moment, the serpent spirit lay on top of the cyan-purple soul light. It looks like a cyan-purple light ball with a scarlet light ball lying on top. Yala's tone was extremely solemn: "As expected of Twilight, just His awakening almost directly broke open the Great Seal without doing anything... But even so, this part of the Great Seal is also crumbling."
"And in my opinion, the Great Seal has the ability to regulate the position of worlds within the multiverse. It may have sensed the danger of Twilight, so all irrelevant worlds, except those directly affected by the Great Existences, were sealed and moved away, right?"
"Then it seems that this seal does indeed exist to restrain you... to protect most ordinary lives."
This is just a guess, but for Su Zhou, there is no difference.
He sighed, still somewhat puzzled: "But since this is the case, why not create a multiverse with nothing in it to accommodate the entire seal? Clearly thinking of protecting ordinary people, but still letting the ripples of the Great Existences stir the void..."
"You've got something wrong." Yala shook his head and said: "It's not that a multiverse was created to seal us, but the seal itself led to the birth of the 'Sealed Multiverse'."
"The structure of the Great Seal does not only exist within this multiverse. It's like a coffin covered with moss, you... your birth is 'outside the plan, within expectations'."
"Is that so? Then I was indeed shallow."
The analogy is apt. Su Zhou thought for a while, and actually laughed out loud, with a sense of freedom: "Haha, outside the plan, within expectations... It seems that all the sentient beings in our entire multiverse were born because of the Great Existences and their seals."
"No wonder there are so many lunatics in our multiverse."
To this, Yala patted its tail and did not answer.
The following time was spent driving through the long 'Void Area'.
The silver light was like a shooting star, carrying Su Zhou's soul as it sped past.
A long, long time later, he finally saw things other than the light of Twilight—some traces of space-time fluctuations, and some world dust similar to that in the Great Ash Area.
Grayish-white world remnants transformed into nebula-like mists, drifting in the void, and within these mists, dark currents were surging. That was the resonance generated by the mutual tremors between worlds, and it was also the force that drove the movement of worlds.
The Twilight World Cluster was just ahead.
In a normal multiverse, the entire void is occupied by space-time turbulence, but in a sealed multiverse, the void is solidified, and space-time turbulence naturally does not exist.
But here, around the 'Twilight World Cluster', the power of the seal is weakened to the minimum, so that space-time turbulence appears. The entire void is like a turbulent and chaotic river surface, with countless ripples, which is dazzling.
Boom——Boom——Huge rumbles echoed in the void. That was not a real sound, but the incredible level of spiritual energy vibrations generated by the normal actions of the world. Even a Celestial Immortal is quite powerless in the face of the power of the world's own movement, causing the youth to control the Celestial Scale, change course, and avoid the trajectories of those worlds.
Su Zhou could see that many huge light spheres had begun to appear sporadically in front of him, blazing and dazzling. That was the true appearance of a world in the void. Twilight aura was attached to it, proving the essence of their being members of the Twilight World Cluster.
Continuing forward, passing through layers of space-time turbulence, Su Zhou could see more and more worlds, until finally, his eyes were occupied by the stars in the sky, and countless world clusters that were more brilliant and denser than the stars in the galaxy appeared. They rotated and operated with each other in a wonderful trajectory, making the youth want to exclaim.
But more exclaimed and surprised than the youth was the serpent spirit.
"...Wait?"
When Su Zhou delved into the Twilight World Cluster, the serpent spirit had been lying on top of the cyan-purple soul light's head. He circled together, seemingly lazy, but actually carefully scanning all the information in the surrounding worlds.
But, when the youth arrived at a key position and finally saw the original 'core' of this world cluster, Yala discovered an incredible thing.
"How is that possible..." He stared at everything in front of him, the center of the countless chaotic worlds.
A huge, 'empty hole'.
Then, he murmured to himself: "Primordial World..."
"The Primordial World of Twilight... is shattered?!"
When he said this, his tone could not help but increase: "How is this possible!"
Su Zhou followed Yala's gaze and also looked at that area. However, unlike Yala, he could only sense that there was indeed a huge hole in that direction—a very, very large hole. If the previous world cluster was an eggshell and egg white, then that hole was as big as an egg yolk.
But he couldn't see the details at all, so he could only ask the serpent spirit: "What happened?"
"What does the shattering of Twilight's Primordial Seal represent?"
Although Yala was shocked, he quickly calmed down.
He took a deep breath, then continued to stare in that direction, and explained softly: "The Primordial World is essentially a node of the seal. Although it is completely formed by the power of the Great Existences, it in turn also restricts their essence."
"The shattering of the Primordial World only means one thing..."
"That is, the Great Seal has long been of no restraint to Twilight—as long as He wants to, He can destroy the seal that binds Him, at least His own, and then break away from this sealed multiverse and restore freedom!"
This fact undoubtedly shocked Yala incomparably.
What does this mean?
If Twilight is a prisoner, then His prison has no guards, and the cell door is ajar, just waiting for Him to push it open.
As long as He stands up, opens the door, and calmly walks out of the prison, He can regain His freedom, and no one can stop Him.
But He did not do so.
Instead...
"Still staying here..."
At this time, Yala's previous shock had completely transformed into confusion. He muttered to himself in bewilderment: "Why? Why is He still staying here?"
There is no answer to this question.
"There's no use in being confused, Yala."
Equally surprised by this matter, but because it was too far away from himself, Su Zhou was actually a little calmer than the other party—if Twilight had already broken free, then he would be dead, I'm afraid he would have died long ago, since he hasn't died now, it means that the time of death has not yet arrived.
"Aren't we here to find out the truth about the battle between Twilight and the World Tree, and to understand the power essence of Twilight and its kin, and then return to Earth to meet the Void Cult?"
He stared at the worlds floating through his vision, and the youth calmly said: "So, the most important thing now should be to choose a suitable world, and then enter it to find the truth."
"That's indeed the case."
Slightly nodding, the serpent spirit shook its head. Unlike Su Zhou, who could remain calm because he didn't know, it was precisely because He had come into contact with Twilight that He knew the strangeness of the current situation.
But indeed, as Su Zhou said, now is the time to act.
The Celestial Scale's ability to screen worlds is not strong. It is just a tool that allows people to freely travel between multiverses—perhaps after it is fully activated like the Galaxy Star, the Celestial Scale will show the divine power it does not have now, but for now, that is all it is.
Although the collapse of Twilight's Primordial World is indeed shocking, Su Zhou never intended to go to Twilight's Primordial World from the beginning.
What he is looking for now are those worlds related to the World Tree, but dominated by Twilight.
This is not difficult—because the coordinates given by the Great Dao Tree also have marks for searching for the aura of the World Tree. With that mark, Su Zhou quickly found a large number of worlds in the infinite Twilight World Cluster that had a strong aura of the World Tree, but were on the verge of, or had already perished.
"But there are still a lot of them! I just swept through them casually, and there are at least millions of these worlds!"
Sensing the target returned in the Great Dao imprint, Su Zhou couldn't help but complain.
He doesn't have decision-making difficulties. A few things are in front of him, and he can quickly choose his favorite one... But the current magnitude of the world is too large. After finding one that feels about right, dozens or hundreds of more suitable ones immediately appear, or worlds that are quite interesting in other aspects.
"It's very simple."
To this, Yala gave a suggestion: "You can use yourself as the source and sense those 'information counterparts' that exist in the multiverse."
"It may be the Candle Sun, or it may be an ordinary person. Choose these counterparts, and then descend on them—in this way, there will be fewer targets, and the world with your counterpart is naturally a world that is very compatible with you, so you don't have to worry about world rejection."
This is indeed a good suggestion, but Su Zhou showed some rejection.
"I don't like that. I don't think those counterparts have anything to do with me. They are just lives that appear somewhat similar to me because of the infinite probability of the multiverse."
His spiritual light shrank, as if shaking his head: "Forcibly descending and occupying their bodies is simply destroying the lives of those counterparts. I'm not that bad."
"I forgot that you are becoming more and more kind, but that kind of thinking is not bad."
At this time, Yala had put the confusion about Twilight's current situation into his heart.
He shook his head with a chuckle, and then gave a suggestion that was in between: "In that case, why don't you choose a world where your counterpart has already died?"
"Although it is still occupying his existence, he is already dead in the final analysis, so I don't think he will mind."
And Su Zhou thought for a while, he nodded slightly: "He will definitely mind, but we can't be too demanding."
"The current situation is urgent. We have spent too much time on the road, and now we must quickly select a few worlds that meet the appropriate conditions and enter them."
While saying this, Su Zhou began to increase the selection conditions, looking for worlds in the Twilight World Cluster that meet the requirements.
It must be said that after adding all the conditions, there were fewer worlds in front of Su Zhou, from millions at a glance to just a few cats and dogs.
At this number, it was much easier for Su Zhou to choose.
Twilight, World Tree, a counterpart similar to Su Zhou, already dead... they all met all the conditions, all the conditions, all the conditions.
Therefore, after judging the brightness, energy level, barrier toughness, and concentration of twilight aura of several worlds.
Su Zhou decisively chose the largest one.
After receiving the instruction, the Celestial Scale turned into a light and cast towards that Twilight World.
A world that should have been derived from the fragments of the Twilight Primordial World.
Under the power of the Celestial Scale, even the true primordial barrier could not stop it, let alone ordinary world barriers?
And just as he was speeding towards that world, Su Zhou couldn't help but recall the situation when he first opened the Celestial Scale in the Earth universe.
【——World Core Element·Suffering——】
【——Twilight Seal Broken Rate 99%——】
【——Ice-Frozen Void·Error·Land of Nothing——】
None of them were wrong. The seal of Twilight was only a step away. As long as He opened the ajar prison door, it would be completely broken.
And the Great Void Area can indeed be called the erroneous land of nothing.
It's just that suffering...
"Why?"
The cyan-purple soul light mixed with the silver light of the Celestial Scale, began to enter the world, Su Zhou's tone was doubtful: "Since the Great Existences love all living beings, why would they bring suffering?"
And after the serpent spirit was silent for a moment, he slowly, with a smile, replied: "...Because, love is not a necessity for survival."
"Just like wisdom, life sometimes does not need these things to continue and become stronger."
The serpent who brought wisdom to all living beings, said calmly: "Wisdom lets you understand pain, love lets you feel unwilling... The love of the Great Existences cares about transcendence, absoluteness, infinity, eternity, it is a perspective that is too huge for mortals to understand. Just like loving humanity, and loving a certain human being are completely different, the love of the Great Existences is also like this, weren't you already very clear in the reincarnation world?"
"The love of the Great Existences is essentially an indescribable terror and poison to all things in the world."
Silence appeared.
And then it was broken again.
"Then my love... should not be like this."
Muttering to himself like this.
The youth's soul light, following the Celestial Scale, entered the world.
……
Cold, shaking.
As if in a carriage traveling on a bumpy path.
You can smell the fishy smell of iron rust, the fishy smell of human blood, the fishy smell of grass and trees, but you can also smell the fishy smell of sulfur and rock.
Also, a child suppressing his voice, crying.
"Loya, don't cry... crying won't bring the professor back to life."
Then, another child's voice is trying to hold back fear and confusion, comforting the other party: "We must remain calm now and protect the professor's remains back..."
"But, Gasha... without the dean, can we still survive?"
Holding back his sobs, the crying child's voice was intermittent: "This mission, this mission is not right at all. It was clearly said to be exploring the ruins, why did it suddenly become so dangerous?"
"I……"
The other child obviously didn't understand this either, and he got stuck in place, unable to answer this question.
——It seems... this body hasn't been dead for long?
Hearing this conversation, Su Zhou's will couldn't help but be in a daze.
Then, there was a blur.
As if falling in the dark and deep abyss, Su Zhou's will felt like he was always falling, falling.
Endless falling.
That is the restraint suffered when an overly huge soul flows into a narrow and weak body.
Although he abandoned his physical body and most of his strength, as an immortal who achieved the Celestial Soul Karma position through the path of sex, Su Zhou's soul itself also possessed great power.
But this power can only be temporarily restrained without damaging the descending body, and while being careful of the possible world rejection, and like in the Perfect World, attracting the attention of the strong in this world.
However, at the moment of descending, he began to repair his broken body, and then began to 'breathe' little by little, and raised his wrist.
This kind of behavior quickly touched the rough stone wall.
The touch that was too firm and cold made Su Zhou, who was a little dizzy, unable to react for a while.
He realized that he seemed to be in a cold and narrow gap, and his entire body could not move.
Thump, thump, thump.
There was such a sound, caused by Su Zhou's actions.
Suddenly, the surroundings became quiet.
Even the two children who were crying and confused before could be heard, they carefully, holding their breath, breathing.
Then, there was an exclamation.
"Mo, moved?!"
"Professor's coffin lid actually moved!"
