Chapter 650 Why?

Su Zhou's silent advance clearly terrified everyone.

"Kaus, block that giant beast!"

Although General Timora was of low character and perverse, he was not foolish. He knew that the opponent's strength was ridiculously high, perhaps even holding a place in the Calamity Realm. He was not someone to be easily stopped.

Everyone could see that the opponent's path was heading straight towards his own position. The general swallowed hard and immediately shouted to his guards, issuing orders: "Hold him back! First Artillery Brigade, adjust aim and prepare a saturation bombardment when Colonel Kaus holds him!"

Unlike the Asmodei Empire, the rank of general in the Twenty-Seventh Army, belonging to the Eastern Celestial Dragon nobles, did not belong to the strongest, but to the entire legion's investor.

Timora's father was the overlord of the East Sea fisheries and a true financial backer. He had his son given the rank of major general, while Colonel Kaus was the de facto battlefield commander.

"One wave subsides, another rises."

Hearing the order, the brown-haired knight who had been silently sitting beside Timora stood up, donned his helmet with the long unicorn horn, and strode out.

This colonel, clad in full alchemical armor, looked down on his nominal superior's character, and had even considered resigning several times because the other had brought women into the army, which he considered an insult to his beliefs as a soldier.

But Timora's family provided too much military funding.

However, apart from that, to be fair, Timora was an excellent commander, worthy of the title of general.

In fact, if it hadn't been for Timora's tactics, the Twenty-Seventh Army would have found it difficult to suppress the Holy Sun Church and the Light Chasing Order's assault teams while simultaneously fighting a difficult battle with the Yan Frost Army's foreign legion around the coastline.

"Hide in the core area of the mobile city. Don't get caught in the aftermath. Your father wants me to protect you, to enrich your front-line command experience, to prepare you for the future great war, not to let you die here."

Before leaving, Kaus turned his head slightly to remind the other, then ignored the other's embarrassed and annoyed expression, leaping up and soaring into the clouds, surrounded by the gale.

Deep cyan Origin Energy surrounded him. Although he appeared very calm on the surface, Kaus was not confident inside.

"Why is this guy so big…"

The knight muttered to himself, staring into the distance. Under the scarlet moon, the approaching three-headed dragon was too enormous and terrifying. Even from the clouds, he could feel its power and solidity.

Moreover, the dragon was essentially an overly large mind-light body. The Origin Energy fluctuations it stirred up were even more dangerous than the light of the Demon Moon at close range.

"Where did this powerhouse come from? With this kind of strength, he must have a name on the Aean Continent!"

After a moment of emotion, Kaus raised the spear in his hand, with a storm swirling around it. A unicorn whale swimming in a sea of gales appeared behind the man.

Behind the helmet, the colonel's face was solemn. He did not attack immediately, but pointed the tip of his spear at the mobile city below, which had turned into a fortress: "Winds of the Four Seas, protect."

A simple incantation, invoking the protection of heaven and earth.

In an instant, the gale on the tip of the spear roared away. It expanded ten thousand times on its way, eventually forming a ring of hurricane shields above the entire mobile city.

The roaring whirlwind was like a tornado, forming a rotating, invisible shield. It only worked against external attacks, and even amplified internal attacks launched outwards. This roaring wind wall was enough to block the aftermath of any Divine Intent-level battle, and could even slightly block battles in the Calamity Realm.

The gale from the Four Seas sheltered the entire town.

As the wind rose, Kaus nodded slightly and continued to approach the giant beast.

The three-headed dragon did not immediately focus its attention on him. The knight quickly closed the distance, and while judging the flow of Origin Energy throughout its body, he tentatively launched several ranged attacks.

Kaus was a famous Calamity Realm knight in the East Sea. The guidance technique he practiced could draw on the winds of the Four Seas, both to protect and to destroy. He was especially good at destroying large fortress targets and military formations, a versatile inheritance suitable for both ranged and close combat.

"Howl."

At this time, Kaus took a deep breath, raised the gun in his hand, which was also his staff, and the deep cyan Origin Energy surged like mist, and then the surrounding atmosphere rippled like water, condensing into tens of thousands of huge wind arrows, which shot rapidly towards the weak points of the Origin Energy of the three-headed dragon.

This scene was like a cyan-white flower blooming in the sky. The wind arrows drew countless arcs in mid-air, eventually converging on several weak points, roughly resembling a merged cyan chrysanthemum.

But the three-headed dragon was unmoved, even dismissive. It continued to advance, only the iron sand in the earth flew up, automatically condensing into simple shields, blocking the place where the air arrows converged.

—Boom boom boom boom.

Dull, drum-like sounds echoed between heaven and earth, but the iron sand shields did not move at all. These wind arrow impacts, which were enough to destroy city walls, could not even make a dent on them.

"Eh?"

Seeing this, Kaus couldn't help being slightly surprised. He was not surprised that the other party could block his attack, but he did not expect that the other party did not pay any attention at all. Just a subconscious defense was enough to block his move.

There was a sense between strong men. The knight knew that the white-haired old man standing on top of the three-headed dragon had not even looked at him—he hadn't even glanced sideways. His attention hadn't shifted at all, and he was still heading straight towards the Twenty-Seventh Army's garrison.

He was ignoring him.

In a sense, this was a humiliation.

The knight couldn't help but feel annoyed. The rune armor all over his body started up, and lines of Origin Energy began to spread across the armor plates. Origin Energy surged and resonated in Kaus's body and armor, bursting out with even more powerful force: "You dare to ignore me…"

"You will pay the price for your arrogance!"

In response, the three-headed dragon stood between heaven and earth. Its huge tail slowly swept across the ground, erasing all traces of battle, the ruins of the city, and the remains of the dead.

Its three heads had three different expressions: greed and jealousy embraced anger, but the six dragon eyes, without any emotional fluctuations, stared in the same direction.

The white-haired old man stood on top of the giant dragon, staring at all places filled with black resentment. He had one goal, and only one goal.

Apart from that, he didn't care about anything else.

Even Kaus, the Calamity Realm knight who came with thousands of winds and impacts, was the same.

The East Sea Knight used his famous stunt at this moment, the Wind of the Four Seas - he had faced the monstrous tsunami during the East Sea earthquake, and used this to defeat the giant waves, guarding the safety of three mobile cities and dozens of fixed villages, and was awarded the name of Calamity Realm Knight.

Although he had only just entered this realm, a Calamity Realm was still a Calamity Realm.

Thousands of Lie Feng Origin Energy Cores with independent rune arrays that could be combined and amplified were flying in mid-air. These cyan wind crystal cores, which looked like tiny stars, surged out of Kaus's body like a tide, condensing pure impact force in mid-air.

The destructive power of the shock wave created by each Lie Feng Origin Energy Core was comparable to the full bombardment of an entire Origin Energy artillery unit, and the power that they could exert in combination was even greater than one plus one equals two. Now, thousands of Lie Feng cores created a tsunami of gales and shock waves in mid-air.

Then, it surged.

Boom! Visible, materialized shock waves enveloped all areas within a dozen miles, hills were blown away, forests were flattened, and the incredible crushing impact was enough to crush steel into powder. The cyan wind tide could push down the entire shield of the mobile city, and smaller mobile cities might even be overturned.

One blow to destroy a city, changing the terrain, this was the strength of the Calamity Realm. If even this realm was not reached, and there was no strong person of this level in an army, then no matter how large the scale, it was just a rebel bandit group, not a force that could affect the world situation.

But this blow still had no effect.

A large number of dragon scales flew up around the three-headed dragon. These metal scales turned into solid walls and shields at this moment. The moment the continuous gusts of wind and shock waves, enough to directly shatter and lift half a town, hit them, they were twisted, deflected, and dissipated invisibly.

Although these scale shields were shaking non-stop from the impact, and seemed to be on the verge of collapsing, they did not seem like they would collapse soon.

The three-headed dragon swept its huge tail, standing still in the rain of storms. It still didn't even look at Kaus, who was still continuing to stimulate gale sword energy, condensing a high-frequency oscillating wind blade hundreds of meters high, but continued to advance.

The wind blade shot out under the knight's anger. It hit the dragon's iron armor, but was directly bounced off. The sword light flew obliquely towards the coastline not far away, plunged into the blue sea water, and after a loud bang, the sword light directly blasted a perfectly round hole in the sea water. , several kilometers of seabed were exposed to the air, and then re-converged after a while.

This was not the end. Kaus, suppressing his anger, held the spear in his hand tightly. He condensed a huge wind spear, and then threw it out with all his strength - this was a more powerful profound meaning than the Rift Sky Sword. He didn't believe that his attack was really completely ineffective. The other party was definitely just defending with all his strength, so he didn't have the energy to fight back!

But everything was in vain.

At this moment, on the other side of the coastline, the Yan Frost Army, the Holy Sun Church, and the Light Chasing Order's positions also noticed the chaos around the Twenty-Seventh Army's position of the East Sea nobles.

"What happened?"

Wearing a gray stone crown, the Archbishop of the Holy Sun Church in the East Sea frowned slightly. She narrowed her eyes. This seemingly young bishop looked at the coast in the distance, where thunder and lightning were erupting, and said with caution: "Kaus is fighting someone? Who is it? Who can make him use his famous stunt so quickly?"

In order to compete for the salvage rights of the East Sea First Radiance Holy Rock, in addition to the Asmodei Empire and the Northern Barbarians, who had already obtained the First Radiance Holy Rock, all major forces sent out their troops.

Among them, the Southern Territory nobles' troops were still in chaos and reorganization because of the death of Earl Avende, who was in charge of logistics, and a small team temporarily dispatched had been defeated. The remaining four major forces were originally dominated by the East Sea Heavenly Dragon nobles.

However, the Demon Moon's light forcibly made everyone stand on the same starting line again, giving the three forces that were originally being suppressed a chance to breathe. When the Demon Moon faded, the East Sea troops, who exposed more cards, would be at a disadvantage instead.

"Calamity Realm? No, there is no reaction of a Calamity Realm powerhouse resonating with the extreme Origin Energy of heaven and earth... Kaus, is this guy actually fighting a Divine Intent Peak to a draw?"

On the lookout tower of the Yan Frost Army's position, a knight muttered to himself in a low voice.

Because Calamity Realm powerhouses have too much affinity with Origin Energy, they will feel pain as long as they use their power, or even just live. Although their tough will is enough to resist all pain, strong people who are not masochists don't necessarily have to go all out.

This Yan Frost Grand Knight was wrapped in a layer of deep gray armor that completely covered even his eyes, with only a layer of translucent crystal windows flashing with light blue brilliance, like a statue.

But now, the statue was also moved: "Wait, his enemy is about to attack?! What level of Origin Energy fluctuation is this."

"Impossible, it's definitely not Divine Intent-level, too exaggerated?!"

Far away at the end of the sky, a scarlet brilliance lit up on the earth, like a sun appearing on the horizon. The intense Origin Energy fluctuation, surpassing the light of the Demon Moon in the sky, was erupting, shocking all the powerhouses who noticed this direction.

"Master, our observation magic circle is overloaded and destroyed!"

"The drone was not destroyed, but all the signals are lost!"

In the Light Chasing Order's position, many alchemists nervously reported the summary.

In the center of the alchemy fortress, the bald old man whose limbs had been transformed into mechanical arms had already noticed that something was wrong without the report from his subordinates: "Incredible, I understand the principle, but why can the mind-light body be so big? Is that really a mind-light body?!"

"And this attack..."

Taking a deep breath, the alchemy master of the Light Chasing Order widened his eyes: "This broke through Kaus's defense and directly hit the East Sea nobles' fortress?"

"Are all those Heavenly Dragons dead?!"

No, that's not right.

After the initial incredulity, the alchemy master once again mobilized his power to sense the Origin Energy and life fluctuations in the distance, and the result was enough to make everyone stare blankly - after the unknown powerhouse in the distance erupted with a blow that was enough to illuminate the horizon, everyone thought that the East Sea nobles would be in trouble.

But in fact, the result was unexpected.

Although the attack caused a considerable number of casualties, it was far from the expected near-annihilation.

Why? Such a terrible attack would probably wipe out even a large mobile city. Even if it was just the aftershock, it shouldn't have caused such low casualties!

Confusion filled the master's mind.

But the answer was actually very simple.

Because Su Zhou's attack was not indiscriminate destruction, but a self-judging attack.

The law has a primordial spirit... As early as the Ruler Realm, he had mastered this technique. Now, driven by the realm of an Immortal Celestial, any of Su Zhou's attacks could be like having his own consciousness, actively judging the difference between 'those who should be killed' and 'punishment' or 'ignoring'.

At this moment, Kaus was still frantically attacking the three-headed dragon, but Su Zhou ignored it, even if the other party mobilized Origin Energy and bombarded his vitals with the power to change the terrain.

He just controlled his mind-light body, opened his mouth, and then spat out scarlet dragon breath, bombarding the East Sea fortress, which was moving in a panic and seemed to be planning to escape.

However, the dragon breath, which was like flames, had no temperature or any substantial destruction. This lotus karmic fire, ignited by resentment and caused by sin, was derived from the fire of sin, but it was more pure and flawless, and its lethality was even more amazing.

If the power of the fire of sin was to make people repent, and if they repented, there would be a glimmer of hope.

Then, the power of the lotus karmic fire was that as long as there was sin, it would ignite and burn until it was destroyed.

This was the power that Su Zhou had once again summarized and sublimated from his past supernatural powers...

——Burning Karmic Fire, the retribution of karma!

"Ahhhhh!!!"

Inside the mobile city, which was already filled with lotus karmic fire, in the East Sea army fortress, you could see the streets and fortifications full of burning figures. The scarlet flames leapt from the depths of their souls, burning their bodies from the inside out. The extreme pain was inflicted on these people, and their eyes, ears, and even their skin and tongues had been burned off at the first moment, so that they could only concentrate on feeling this pure punishment.

Robbery, rape, abuse... The armies of the imperial era had never had anything to do with civilization. After bandits looted, there might still be something left, but after the army ravaged, there was a high probability that nothing would be left in the village.

After forcibly conscripting this mobile city, apart from the city nobles and the middle class leaving decently, the ordinary people who remained had to face the soldiers' malicious looting and harassment.

Of course, even Timora could not order the soldiers to loot, and even issued some announcements asking the soldiers to pay attention to the situation, but not strictly prohibiting it was tacit consent. As long as there were good-looking women or some seemingly valuable heirlooms in the family, they would inevitably be bullied and taken away.

As long as they resisted, they would be 'suspected enemy spies', and then either interrogated or killed.

And these people were waiting for painful torture.

"Wahhhh?!"

In the wounded soldiers' camp, two wounded soldiers who were chatting idly did not notice the chaos outside, but suddenly, one of them burst into flames and let out a painful howl, while the other wounded soldier, who was not injured at all, quickly got up and picked up a bucket of water next to him and poured it on him.

Naturally, this had no effect, but the wounded soldier who was on fire did not die. After a few minutes, he stopped howling in pain, and the flames went out. The whole person collapsed on the bed as if he was exhausted.

He just took a little toll.

And the wounded soldier next to him, who was fine, not only did not exploit or rob, but also protected several civilians to safely leave the city. He also had compassion and empathy in his heart.

War is indeed not a place to pay attention to the law and sympathy. Any war will bring about killing and destruction. No one can accuse any casualties in the war. They are all part of a huge existence called the army, and they are the mechanical gears of destruction.

But outside of war, soldiers should also be human beings.

That's the reason.

"What kind of attack is this?!"

Kaus was naturally also hit by the lotus karmic fire. The extreme pain invaded his every sense, but after all, he was relatively upright and strong enough. He actually suppressed the burning of the karmic fire.

Spitting out a few sparks, he looked in shock and anger at Su Zhou's direction - from beginning to end, the white-haired man didn't even look at him, and didn't even observe any of his attacks or harassment.

At this moment, Su Zhou's mind-light body was very close to the mobile city. Every step he took, the earth was shaking non-stop, and the buildings in the fortress were creaking and shaking, and the shattered bricks and stones were falling down, as if the entire city was about to be crushed under the giant dragon's trampling.

In the distance, the powerhouses of other forces were turning into starlight and approaching rapidly. They couldn't figure out what was going on now, so they had to investigate on the spot to determine.

While people were still halfway there, a series of detection spells and drones had already arrived at the front line, scanning the materialized figure of the three-headed dragon.

And Su Zhou was not interested in looking at them at all, and ignored their investigation.

Su Zhou didn't care.

In the turmoil, the three-headed dragon turned its head and looked in the direction of the sea, and then opened its mouths together.

All sounds came to an abrupt halt.

Light shone in the mouth of the giant dragon, and everyone present saw a scene that could be called sacred: the scarlet dragon stood in the center of heaven and earth, countless mournful prayers, countless hateful curses, and desperate cries surrounded it, forming a vast and holy yet tragic tide of prayers.

Curses and vows merged into one here. Wishes and curses were originally two sides of the same coin. On top of the giant dragon, four crowns were slowly being generated.

The karmic fire dissipated, the storm stopped, and the lightning of judgment condensed in the dragon's mouth, and gold and iron were its armor.

Kaus, the Holy Sun Church, the Light Chasing Order, and the Yan Frost Knight all watched this scene in shock... The four authorities were condensed into one body, and this scene, which was like a natural disaster but far more holy than a natural disaster, made these powerhouses speechless in shock.

In just an instant, because after an instant, Su Zhou launched an attack.

Space was distorted, because the medium through which light spread was ignited and destroyed by high temperature and high-density Origin Energy. Flames were born out of thin air, and the breaths of the three-headed dragon merged into one place, condensing into a straight white beam of light. It swept straight towards the turbulent blue East Sea, dividing the entire sky and sea into two from top to bottom.

Time seemed to stand still.

In the sky full of flames, including all the trembling, still-alive East Sea soldiers, everyone saw a huge crack appear on the turbulent sky and sea surface, a burning straight line split the clouds, the coastline, and the sea itself: in the continuous explosions, in the atmosphere filled with flames, a road extending to the depths of the sea emerged. This road was full of lava, and the sea water on both sides separated, forming a canyon composed of waterfalls.

The blue sea was separated.

Turning rivers and seas upside down, moving and destroying the world, overturning heaven and earth, was a disaster-like force, enough to destroy the balance of the world.

Any Calamity Realm powerhouse has his own unique power and can do similar things. This is the strongest force on the Aean world. Among the existences that ordinary people can know, Calamity Realm represents the strongest.

But few people can truly experience what a 'natural disaster' is.

But today, they all knew.

Including the high-level officials of the major forces who were also Calamity Realm powerhouses, a sense of 'fear' also emerged in their hearts.

Why?

Because... from beginning to end, it was just a mind-light body that was making the move.

The white-haired man stood on top of the giant dragon. Except for raising the long knife in his hand and controlling the burning and spread of the karmic fire when the dragon spat out karmic fire, he didn't take any action.

And now, he raised his shield.

An invisible shock wave spread with the shield in Su Zhou's hand as the center, forming a huge semicircular field. It swept across the turbulent coast, colliding with the shock wave created by the previous breath, and the atmosphere trembled violently.

But soon, the shock wave dissipated into nothing, and the field emitting silver brilliance spread to the sea surface, absorbing all the shocks that made the sea violently churning and about to form a tsunami.

The ocean quieted down, its anger was suppressed.

It was still separated, but it was calm and waveless. At the end of the road leading to the deepest part of the sea, pure and brilliant light was blooming.

The First Radiance Holy Rock, the fragment of the Holy Sun, its brilliance illuminated a seabed, like a star falling into the depths of the ocean.

Su Zhou stepped forward, he calmly left the three-headed dragon and walked towards the depths of the ocean. The waterfalls formed by the ocean fault surged on both sides of him. The powerhouses of the major forces hesitated behind him, not knowing whether they should attack or sit back and watch him continue to advance.

He could vaguely hear the sound of artillery fire. It was probably the East Sea army's fortress using heavy weapons to attack his mind-light body and himself.

But it was useless. Whether it was the spells of the spellcasters, the mysterious attacks of the alchemists, or the pure artillery impact, none of them could shake the super-alloy armor, which was completely made of perfect metal. The dragon was just there, as if it were an immortal mountain range.

Su Zhou came to the First Radiance Holy Rock. This was the original, unpolished Holy Rock. It was four meters high and one meter long and wide. It was inserted straight into the sea rock, looking like a crystal pillar.

The crystal pillar released a gentle and brilliant light, and extremely high-density Origin Energy was spreading continuously with it as the center.

If the Origin Energy in the atmosphere of the Aean world was forty times the density of the spiritual energy in the general spiritual energy world, then the density of the Origin Energy released by the First Radiance Holy Rock was ten times that of the general Origin Energy.

The lethality caused by this high-density Origin Energy should have been even more terrible than the scarlet moonlight stirred up by the Demon Moon. If there was a demonized person suffering from demonization here, he would probably go crazy in one second, and then mutate into a non-human monster.

But this was just 'what should be in theory'.

The facts were completely opposite.

On the sea rocks around the First Radiance Holy Rock, a large number of coral seaweed-like creatures were growing. Over a month, these corals and seaweed had undergone a strange change. A vast amount of vitality was residing in these simple lives, giving them an almost 'immortal' characteristic. Even Su Zhou's sea-splitting attack just now did not kill them.

Although part of it was because the man actively controlled the destructive power of his own power, it was also unimaginable.

The Origin Energy of the First Radiance Holy Rock carried incredible vitality. Its existence itself brought vitality and promoted the evolution of the surrounding creatures.

Su Zhou stared at the crystal pillar. He could be sure that if there were no humans, a 'blessed secret realm' centered on the First Radiance Holy Rock would appear on the seabed of the East Sea. A large number of sea spiritual plants and spirit beasts would live in it, turning it into a paradise of life, a high-spirit ecosystem with the First Radiance Holy Rock as the core.

Very familiar.

This was a characteristic of the Divine Wood.

No, this was the Divine Wood.

Because he had obtained a part of the Burning Flame Divine Wood before, Su Zhou could be 100% sure that although the structure and details of the First Radiance Holy Rock were a little different, this vitality was undoubtedly very similar to the Divine Wood.

The Holy Sun was the Burning Flame Divine Wood. At least a part of the Burning Flame Divine Wood.

What was going on? Why did the Divine Wood run to the sky and get burned?

The excessively abnormal Origin Energy of the Aean world was obviously the reason why the Holy Sun was constantly releasing its Origin Energy towards the entire world. In terms of the Earth, it was probably like the greenhouse effect. Spiritual energy that could not overflow and could not circulate was piled up day after day in a world that was only one or two times larger than the Earth. Naturally, it would become abnormal.

In many elemental worlds, there would not be such a high concentration of spiritual energy.

Part of the truth was revealed in front of Su Zhou, but he couldn't find the answer. It was more confusing.

But it was good that Su Zhou never cared about the truth.

In the Aean world, people could still live, which meant that the world could still exist.

What should not exist were those who made people unable to live.

Su Zhou stretched out his hand, and the First Radiance Holy Rock was lifted into the air from a distance. He slowly flew upwards, and the Divine Wood Crystal, which emitted pure white light, also took off at the same time.

The wound in the sea, the split water canyon, began to slowly close as Su Zhou rose. The sea returned to its flatness, but the sky did not. The blue sea reflected the sky full of clouds as if it had been cut open, and the scarlet starlight of the moon shone.

Seeing Su Zhou return to the top of the three-headed dragon with the First Radiance Holy Rock, the Yan Frost Army's knight seemed to be moved. The reason why they came here to fight was for this fragment of the Holy Sun, but because of the strength of the strong enemy in front of them, he did not dare to take the lead, and could only wait for the reactions of others.

And the others were the same. They observed each other, but no one dared to step forward.

They didn't move, Su Zhou moved.

Placing the First Radiance Holy Rock in the crown on top of the giant dragon, like a diamond inlaid on a crown, the man turned around again and walked towards the mobile city.

The Twenty-Seventh Army had collapsed. After conducting several full-coverage saturation artillery strikes, but not hurting even half a scale of the giant dragon, they completely gave up attacking. In particular, many of their comrades and comrades-in-arms were burned to ashes by the karmic fire, which greatly hit the morale of the troops, so that when they saw Su Zhou approaching, not even half of them wanted to stop him.

"You bastard!"

Kaus was puzzled at first, but soon he guessed something. The knight was furious and stepped forward, raising his spear and intending to stop Su Zhou from advancing.

But he didn't succeed, because when he approached within a hundred meters of Su Zhou, for some reason, he suddenly remembered many things.

The hard training when he was young, his father's teachings, his mother's expectations, and the praise and companionship of his neighbors and friends...

He lived happily, had a happy family, had a son and a daughter, was upright, adhered to the knight's morality, and except for often having to wipe Timora's ass, he had basically not done anything that could be called unjust. Kaus didn't need to do unjust things, and he could live with satisfaction. He was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, and he had never had any troubles. He only needed to wholeheartedly ponder martial arts and cultivation, be filial to his parents, love his wife and children, be kind and friendly to his relatives and neighbors, and smile and give candy to the children he didn't know, and take care of the injured birds he saw on the roadside.

He was a human being.

And after these memories, what poured into his mind was tens of thousands of painful memories.

He was born with nothing. His mother died early because of the unsanitary production environment. His father worked hard to raise his child, and he would rather eat less to save a little food for his child, making his originally healthy body become thinner and weaker day by day.

He grew up in yellow soil and mud, struggling to learn, and climbing upwards with all his strength, wanting to accumulate some wealth in the mobile city and take his father over to enjoy happiness, instead of living in the fixed village that would definitely be destroyed by natural disasters.

But what he encountered after arriving in the mobile city was the exploitation of gangs, the discrimination of ordinary people, the exploitation of factories, and the increasingly serious demonization disease.

The nobles, who did not treat demonized people and civilians as human beings, secretly issued orders to capture poor demonized people as soul additives for the Origin Energy furnace core. A soul that was still full of hope, even in pain, was burned out in the furnace. The father in the village who was waiting for news from his son would never receive a letter again.

He was also a human being.

There was more.

The newly married couple, who had finally bought a house in the small mobile city, encountered the conscripted army. The man was beaten to death, the woman was raped, and countless people were displaced, watching their hometown being transformed into a fortress in despair, to compete with a group of people from far away for a meteorite that they didn't know what it was.

——This was a necessary sacrifice.

——This was a necessary evil.

——This was an inevitable ending.

In the past, demonized people were treated like this; in the past, the army acted like this; in the past, the nobles ruled the world like this.

Since the past was like this, then the present was like this, and the future should be like this.

"No, this, why?!"

The spear in his hand could not be swung out, and Kaus's hands began to tremble. He thought that his will was extremely firm, and it was absolutely impossible for him to be affected by any illusions. As long as he recognized an enemy, he would definitely eliminate him.

But the knight knew that those were not illusions, but facts.

Facts that had already happened on this land, and were happening on this land.

He was originally unable to empathize with those poor commoners who did not exist in the same world as him. He had never thought about these things that had nothing to do with cultivation and fighting before - but when he instinctively roared out the words 'Why?!'.

How happy he had lived before, how painful he was now.

At the moment when the pain invaded his soul, Kaus was stunned to realize, as if he had just discovered it, that those dead 'people' were people.

Those were just numbers, just 'materials' and 'additives' recorded in the report, with no names, were all people.

Different from him, yet the same as him, real people.

The knight could no longer advance and attack.

Because every step the man in front of him took seemed to represent justice.

——No, justice doesn't need to be represented... It exists in the hearts of everyone who still has a conscience!

Kaus silently took back the spear in his hand. He looked up at the back of the white-haired man. The knight knew very well that what he had just touched were the residual curses and prayers of those who had died unjustly in this world, their last bit of memory.

High-density Origin Energy filled this world, so that these pure thoughts could survive for a long time, even for thousands of years without being worn away.

But all these curses and resentment, what he had just understood and touched, were just one ten thousandth of what surrounded that man.

The curses and resentment, which were so thick that they could make people crazy as long as they came into contact with them, even formed materialized illusions, surrounding Su Zhou, reaching out and climbing on the man's body, seemingly pulling him, but also seemingly telling him something.

But all this seemed to be an illusion: just for a moment, those dark shadows faded away, and what replaced them was a piece of light.

Terrible Origin Energy was surrounding Su Zhou, which was an unstoppable force.

"I..."

Kaus opened his mouth, wanting to say something, repentance or admitting his mistake.

But in the end, he fell silent, because words were so powerless, and only action had power. He could only stare at Su Zhou's back.

And the man didn't turn his head, continuing to walk forward, without stopping.

In the command post of the East Sea fortress, there was still a human figure burning. He opened his mouth, wanting to scream, but his vocal cords had already been burned, so he could only twist and struggle, howling silently.

On General Timora's body, one life-saving secret treasure after another appeared, struggling for a while before shattering. There was even a substitute death figure carved with fragments of the Burning Flame Divine Wood. This allowed him to survive until now, so that he would not die completely, but was tortured by the karmic fire.

The door opened, and a man walked in slowly. His arrival extinguished the karmic fire, and a dried corpse-like body fell to the ground.

But soon, with the activation of several remaining secret treasures, General Timora's broken flesh began to regenerate - there were structures similar to immortal roots in his body, just like Earl Avende. The secrets mastered by the real great nobles were far more than others imagined.

Soon, relieved from the extreme pain and torture, and able to open his eyes to see, the Honorable General saw a face in a daze.
