Chapter 653 The Method of Changing the World (6400, Congratulations to Jialanxue on Becoming Alliance Master!)

The continent of Aier is vast and expansive, with hundreds of billions of residents settled in thousands upon thousands of giant mobile cities, traveling in a circular motion along tracks, chasing the radiance of the sun and avoiding the magic of the moon.

In theory, each mobile city is a small world. The vast majority of city residents will not leave the city's sphere of influence from birth to death, unable to see the scenery beyond their own district.

After all, outside the cities are mutant creatures everywhere, dangerous source energy beasts, and bandits of unknown origin... Life outside the city is precarious. Anyone who can enter the city, even if they can only live in the lower city slums, who would want to return to the incredibly dangerous suburbs where they could lose their lives at any moment?

It is precisely because of this that the common people of the Aier world are mostly very dull and ignorant. They only know what is happening around them, and at most know the news of one or two nearby mobile cities and frequently traded villages.

Most people do not know about the world, the country, or the scenery on the other side of the heavens and the earth, nor do they want to know.

Just like the people of the Empire do not care about the daily battles between Yan Shuang Province and the northern barbarians, the noblemen of the Southeast Sea are equally ignorant of the mobile city-state alliances in the Great Desert region. The unusual sense of separation caused by the independent mobile cities among the many city residents is a characteristic of the Aier continent's civilization.

In such an environment, most people are assimilated into the same indifferent appearance, wanting only to live ordinary and simple lives day after day.

In contrast, a small number of people will develop an absolute desire for the outside world, for the unknown, and for the unpredictable.

Of course, this numbness is only relative. Things that cannot affect people's lives naturally have no spread.

But if it can affect them, and the impact is extremely great, then the speed at which this matter spreads will exceed everyone's imagination.

East Sea, ten days after the end of the First Radiance Sacred Rock battle, the news that a powerful independent professional defeated the elite legions of the four major forces single-handedly, and defeated several Disaster Realm experts in a row, had spread throughout the north and south of the country.

Everyone in the twenty-eight provinces who could read a newspaper knew about this.

Caus of the Four Seas Wind, Zhaohui the Rock Refining Master, Cardinal Farlin, and Havvi the Ice Splitter... four Disaster Realms who were extremely famous in their respective regions, and could be called 'top experts,' gathered together, their battle involving the entire continent's situation. The people of their hometowns were paying attention to their every move, hoping that their protectors would return with victory.

But now, they were all crushed and defeated by that previously unknown independent expert, without even causing the other party any harm.

According to an anonymous intelligence provider, the reason everyone present was alive was simply because that expert never attacked them from beginning to end, but simply allowed them to attack, like a fine steel shield not caring about mosquito bites.

The only one who attacked was his Xingguang Ti (Astrobody), a bizarre three-headed dragon.

For a time, the major forces throughout the Aier world were shocked.

Disaster Realm.

The appearance of each Disaster Realm expert is a major piece of news that is enough to shock the entire world.

If a family or force has a stable Disaster Realm inheritance, it has the right to participate in the continent's game—just like the Farsess family of Seaside City. Although they were forced to take sides by the major forces at the year-end auction, don't forget that there are too many forces and individuals in this world who don't even have the right to be forced.

As long as the strong give an order, they must obey.

And now, a brand new expert defeated four Disaster Realm experts who were like gods in the world all at once.

His strength can undoubtedly be directly equated with an Imperial General, one of the highest-end combat forces in the entire Aier world!

Therefore, the name Svitore Afanas Zeleneski quickly became a topic of conversation for people with a little free time in every mobile city and even fixed village around the world.

And his image also became as terrifying as a god or demon in the rumors spread by those surviving soldiers.

Even the bards began to follow the trend. They skillfully added this name to the list of songs, and then made up the past love-hate entanglements of this previously unknown expert.

As of today, Professor Svitore has had a total of more than fifty paramours, more than one hundred mortal enemies, and more than five hundred confidantes and good brothers. His persona ranges from 'thirty years east of the river, thirty years west' to 'son-in-law war god,' earning them a lot of money.

Everyone knows they are talking nonsense, but it is indeed very interesting.

However, amidst such overwhelming rumors and stories, there is a real piece of news that is secretly spreading rapidly among relevant groups.

——That Disaster Realm expert named Svitore is now building his own force in the Misty Mountains around the East Sea. He is recruiting disciples, spreading the guiding technique, and claiming to have no discrimination in teaching, whether it is a normal person or a mutant creature, or even a source energy beast with intelligence.

As long as the conditions are met and they agree with his philosophy, then he will accept them all and teach them equally.

"So what exactly is his philosophy?" someone wondered.

And the answer is simple.

"Equality and a heart of justice."

Obviously, such an answer is not intuitive enough, so some people still ask in confusion: "So what exactly are they going to do?"

The answer is even simpler.

"Change this world."

Although the source of this news is quite credible, coming from the professional intelligence departments of Seaside City and the Light Chasing Order.

But for the vast majority of ordinary people on the Aier continent, even if it is true, to ask them to give up their original peaceful lives, leave their comfort zone, and go to the distant end to learn from a completely unfamiliar expert...

Sounds outrageous, doesn't it?

The opportunity to change fate is certainly precious, but the premise is that most people want to change, and believe that they can change.

This is already a very difficult thing, after all, many people don't even believe they can lose weight and go to bed early every day.

However, for the indigenous adventurers of the East Sea, taking a trip to the Misty Mountains is not a very troublesome thing.

Even if they are not particularly interested in this matter, if it is just to see that legendary expert who is almost equal to a god, presumably everyone is willing to satisfy their curiosity.

But they don't know what kind of existence they are about to face.

East Sea, the tenth day after the end of the war.

An adventurer from Deepwater City went deep into the Misty Mountains, traveling through the thin white mist, searching for the traces of that mysterious expert in the rumors.

The adventurer's name is Anda Wander, an elite adventurer, part-time bounty hunter, and a professional explorer with a good reputation in the industry.

At this time, there is basically no information about Professor Svitore in the whole world. His appearance, his height, his words and deeds, and his personality traits can all be sold at sky-high prices.

Just for profit, Anda is willing to take this trip.

But halfway through, this Xingguang (Astroforce) adventurer suddenly felt something was wrong.

Because this area is too flat. Anda had come to the Misty Mountains to adventure when he was young. He knew that this place was mountainous, rugged and steep. Even after decades, he still remembers it clearly.

But now, many mountain peaks are missing a piece, as if they were bitten and swallowed by some huge beast. Even many hills and small peaks have been flattened, allowing sunlight to penetrate the twilight and make the view wider.

And... the strangest thing is that this mountain area is too quiet.

Even in winter, the Misty Mountains are after all in the tropical region of the East Sea. Even if there are no insect chirps, there should be bird chirps—at the very least, there are seven or eight large source energy wolf packs around the Misty Mountains. The evil wolves in the mist and the creepy wolf howls at night are part of the adventure around the Misty Mountains that you must experience!

But now, there is no sound.

The birds are shivering in their nests, and the beasts are lying in their lairs trembling.

"This is not right..."

Muttering to himself, then, this vigilant adventurer heard a roar, resounding from the center of the mountain range.

Along with it came a terrifying pressure that was constantly spreading.

"What exactly is going on?!"

With this thought in his mind, Anda swallowed and looked nervous.

Although he was afraid in his heart, he comforted himself by saying 'riches are found in danger', and then mustered his courage, strode out of the dense forest, and came to a semi-mountain cliff with a wide view.

Then, he opened his mouth wide and stared dumbfounded at the scene before him.

Thunderous roars were ringing in the center of the mountain range.

Originally, there were magic arrays here to suppress the transmission of sound, which ensured the tranquility of the surrounding area, but now, even the silent magic arrays could not block such a terrifying roar.

Anda clenched his fists.

He saw that not far away, in the center of the Misty Mountains, a three-headed dragon was waving its claws and spewing dragon breath, using flames and brute force to chisel through the mountains, melting metal and strange stones, as raw materials for casting.

He saw that the forest was spreading, and the cyan vines and dark brown tree roots were like they had lives, spreading in all directions. These tough plants climbed to the mountains and deep into the mountains, and merged the minerals and metals excavated by the giant dragon into one, assembling them into city walls, fortifications and various buildings. The prototype of a small city was almost completed.

He also saw the giant dragon roaring, sculpting the mountains under the command of a human. Although this giant beast seemed tall and clumsy, its actual precision was far higher than everyone imagined. Its pupils shot out various rays, and used them as tools to carve a magnificent tower with the towering Misty Mountains as the main body.

Vines were entwined around the tower, and roots stabilized its base. A group of children stood at the foot of the mountain engraving runes. Their bodies exuded vitality, full of hope and light.

The Tower of Hope had already taken shape, and now it was only one last step away, which was also the most important step.

That is planting.

At the top of this giant tower, at the original summit, an old man with white hair turned his head and looked remotely in the direction of the adventurer.

He was holding a wooden seed emitting a crystal light in his hand, and he was preparing to place this seed in the center of the magic array groove at the top of the giant tower, but now he stopped.

The man's eyes looking at the adventurer were calm and indifferent. Although there was no emotion, it seemed that he could see through people's hearts at a glance.

"You desire adventure and change. You hate this decaying land, but you don't know how to end all this—you escape through adventure. You are looking for an opportunity to change your life. You convince yourself that you are here for profit, but I know that you just want to seek a different future, a new experience."

The old man spoke. Even on the distant mountaintop, his voice still seemed like a whisper in the adventurer's ear: "Anda, you have potential. You don't discriminate against anyone. You meet the conditions."

"Do you want to join us? For a better everything."

"Join...?"

When he heard this question, Anda felt like he had been thinking for a long time.

Like a revolving lantern, his mind recalled his past.

The extremely ordinary experience when he was young, and the powerlessness after he grew up no matter how hard he tried, he could not change anything.

Whether it was his parents who died because of the nobles, or his friends who became mutant creatures, he could not save them, could not help them, and could not change them.

Without good guiding techniques, without excellent talent, Anda exhausted his life's potential, but he only barely advanced to Xingguang (Astroforce). His life had stopped here, and it was impossible to become stronger or achieve greater achievements.

It was impossible for him to kill those damned nobles and avenge his parents, nor was it possible for him to bring his friends back and let them live the same peaceful life as before.

Everything he wanted, he couldn't do. Everything he craved, he couldn't get.

This meant that his life was wasted, meaningless, and just a futile struggle.

But now...

Opportunity and choice are right in front of him.

The time to change everything has come.

That expert who defeated the four Disaster Realms is extending an invitation to him—

So, in fact, in just a moment, there was not even hesitation or doubt.

Anda knelt on one knee, facing the direction where the white-haired old man was, and lowered his head deeply: "I am willing to join!"

"Please guide me, Mentor Svitore!"

"Good."

Su Zhou nodded. Even without the Wuxiang Zhi Xin (Heart of No Thought), he knew that the people who could cross the long distance and come to the center of the Misty Mountains at this time were not specialized spies from major forces. Like Anda, no matter what the excuse was, there must be a certain persistence in their hearts to change and become better.

However, his answer was unexpectedly beyond Anda's expectations.

"Very good, Anda, then you are one of the first batch of members of our Evening Radiance Society. Go find Lady Dawn later to get your textbooks. We will start class in the square in the evening."

Su Zhou stated plainly and directly in Anda's bewildered expression: "As for now, come over and help Master Firelight refine and process those metals. They are used to cast standard weapons and armor for you and the subsequent students. You have to put your heart into it."

"Alas, we don't have enough manpower now, so we can only trouble you to work a little harder."

"But, change the world..."

The adventurer was dumbfounded. He felt that the current situation was a bit wrong, and it was too different from what he had imagined.

Also textbooks, is this art style too unique?!

"Changing the world must first start with changing yourself, and you must also learn a considerable amount of basic knowledge, as well as the shaping of relevant values."

Su Zhou couldn't help but sigh: "Young people should not aim too high, but should be down-to-earth. Only by studying hard can you become stronger in the future."

"Go, remember to get the textbooks in the local language version of the East Sea. Someone will take you there."

Anda walked towards the direction of the silver fairy with a bewildered expression.

And Su Zhou turned his head.

He was still standing at the top of the tower, preparing to place the Kindling Seed in the very center of the magic array groove at the top of this giant tower transformed from mountains, where countless roots and vines were entwined and knotted.

Su Zhou cannot stay in the Aier world for a very long time. He may stay for one or two years, or several years. If it is longer, even Yala cannot guarantee the time flow ratio between this world and Earth.

On the Earth universe side, his body may still be fighting hard against the Twilight dependents, and the Earth fleet is even fleeing in a bumpy manner, living a very hard life... Without his consciousness controlling them, they must be fighting very miserably, right?

Maybe several warships have been destroyed, and his body has been seriously injured several times.

Every time he thought of this, Su Zhou was quite worried, and even couldn't help but sigh: "I wonder if Tang Yuan can control my body well and exert its potential."

Although he was worried, Su Zhou was confident in the vitality of his body. After experiencing an over-the-air upgrade, he felt that at least in the next few years, the Earth fleet would definitely be able to survive.

Therefore, Su Zhou must use all available methods to strengthen his own strength.

If everything goes smoothly, then when the Kindling Divine Tree sprouts again, this divine tree will automatically take over everything Su Zhou has prepared for it, quickly get through the initial growth period, and turn the entire Tower of Hope, that is, the original Misty Mountains, into its own 'body.'

This is a rather heretical method, used in the Living Lord Tree inheritance to quickly give birth to offspring and ensure that they have the power to protect themselves in a short period of time.

There are no aftereffects, but Su Zhou has been engraving runes, stimulating plants, building large arrays, and carving mountains for ten days, which is quite tiring.

He unexpectedly tasted the taste of an old father taking care of a child when he was single.

Firelight and Dawn were also extremely shocked by this. They could not imagine that the divine tree could actually use soil as its body.

But this is just the prejudice that ordinary people are most likely to make.

The world itself is the flesh and blood of the World Tree, a part of it, and soil is naturally no exception.

In other words, even rocks, lava, or even clouds and water mist, as long as they are transformed through specific methods, they can temporarily possess some of the characteristics of the World Tree, and then allow a divine tree to be transformed into a rock divine tree, a lava divine tree, or even a cloud and mist divine tree.

The Torch Dragon Divine Tree, the Battleship Divine Tree, and the Rocket Divine Tree are also the same. The World Tree can be anything.

It is precisely based on this characteristic that Su Zhou's previous words did not fool Master Firelight. The mechanical body can of course be the World Tree. It is better to say that the World Tree is really the most casual creature in the entire multiverse.

Even Yala, who is also almost as casual, must at least be a long strip of a dragon or snake, or a conceptual ring... But for the World Tree and the Great Dao Tree, as long as it 'exists,' it is possible.

"Too casual."

Shaking his head, the original Torch Dragon who can be anything sighed in the contemptuous gaze of the snake spirit 'You are not much better than the Divine Tree!' He said: "But casual is powerful. The more casual, but useful inheritance, the more it proves the power of its developer, enough to make anyone understand his Dao."

Inheritance is for people to understand. Obscure hints and metaphors, and principles and experiences that cannot be explained clearly, are better off not existing.

This is also the path that Su Zhou is taking now. He also hopes that his Torch Dragon Dao can be like the Divine Tree, all-encompassing, omnipresent, and inclusive of everything.

Thinking like this, Su Zhou stretched out his hand and placed the Kindling Seed in his hand in the very center of the magic array groove at the top of the tower, which exuded a holy and sacred aura.

It was noon at this moment.

Because the Misty Mountains are located in the center of the East Sea and the Central Plains, they are filled with water vapor and are shrouded in mist all year round, hence the name Misty.

The glory of the Holy Sun passed through the water vapor, causing a seven-colored rainbow to rise on the side of the mountain. Although the visibility of the entire mountain range was not very high, it could be said to be bright. The lush forest covered the entire land and mountains.

But right now, at the moment when the Kindling Divine Tree submerged into the magic array groove, the entire forest and mountain range completely darkened, and the original bright sunlight also disappeared, as if it had vanished behind the clouds and mist.

It was not a change in the heavens and the earth, but simply because at the very top of the Tower of Hope, a light brighter than everything else lit up. Its existence itself instead set off everything as dark, and only it, shining at the top of the tower, was the only light left in this world.

And in this flame that seemed to be burning fiercely, the Kindling Seed, which was originally the size of a human head, began to sublimate in the light and fire, blooming.

It sprouted and quickly grew, becoming a small tree half the height of a person.

Flames were its leaves, crystals of light were its branches, and flowing, almost lava-like liquid formed complex rune patterns inside this small tree, flashing mysterious light patterns.

Incredible source energy fluctuations and fiery vitality were spreading towards the surroundings. They stirred up light waves visible to the naked eye in the atmosphere, causing all the plants and trees they touched to grow wildly, and people or animals with hidden injuries in their bodies directly recovered. Those without hidden injuries felt energetic, as if they had been infused with endless vitality.

Su Zhou watched all this. This scene was familiar to him. Whether it was the process of the Wisdom Tree growing in the past, until it became a truly mature divine tree hanging upside down in his personal space, or the scene of life rekindling on Mount Olympus on Earth, it was extremely similar to this moment.

[Professor Svitore, this is too conspicuous!]

At this moment, you could hear Master Firelight's almost complaining voice: [You have already become the target of attention for the whole world... and you are still planting a divine tree with such fanfare. Do you want to be jointly besieged by a multi-force coalition?!]

[Anyone who knows this news will not let go of the opportunity to obtain a complete, living Kindling Divine Tree. They will do everything possible to争夺 (fight for) its ownership!]

Su Zhou did not take it seriously.

He stared at the divine tree in front of him, which seemed to be completely composed of light and emitted almost the same radiance as the Holy Sun, and couldn't help but smile and whisper: "So what? It saves me the trouble of actively looking for them. If they can send their faces over for me to slap, then thank you so much."

[What you are facing is almost all the Disaster Realm experts in the entire world, and even the Human Gods above them!]

The mechanical old man's voice was almost a roar. He understood all this, so he knew the hardships of this step: [You are very strong, but can you really do it?]

"Master Firelight."

Hearing this, Su Zhou paused, then raised his head and looked at the distant Central Plains from the top of the mountain.

At the end of the horizon, there seemed to be shadows of mobile cities wandering. That seemed to be the epitome of the entire Aier world.

Staring at this scene, the man's tone was firm in laughter: "The simplest way to change the world was like this in the first place."

"Beat the entire world up and then order it to change—it will naturally change."

Recently, Qidian has a character event. If you have the conditions, you can go and give Su Zhou a heart!
