Chapter 645 A Really Annoying Feeling——(7200, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Su Zhou drew his bow and shot an arrow, the atmosphere vibrated.

A bright azure stream of light, as if transformed into a meteor, instantly shot towards the Eastern Heavenly Dragon nobles who had initiated the conflict.

It's hard to describe this scene with words, but the representative of the Imperial Military Department, who had previously questioned who the man was, watched in stunned silence.

The dazzling arrow flash disappeared in an instant, and after that scorching brilliance, the slow sound came late, accompanied by a earth-shattering roar and the swordsman's roar, as the short spear shot from the giant bow slammed into Karti's hastily raised sword.

The long sword cast from source energy steel immediately snapped in half, and the terrifying impact continued unabated, hitting the swordsman's armor, causing it to cave inward and then shatter into countless tiny fragments, carrying Karti towards the wall of the auction hall not far away.

Although it was difficult, Karti did block this arrow. He was severely injured, and the shockwave of the arrow spear passed through his armor and spread throughout his body, tearing his muscles, but at least he wasn't directly pierced through the heart and instantly killed, which was the best thing.

But neither Karti, who was targeted, nor the other representatives of other forces who were watching this scene and couldn't react in time, understood Su Zhou's true purpose.

This arrow of his...wasn't shot to kill, and the arrow wasn't an ordinary arrow.

This was the Arrow of Peace!

Boom!

"What?!"

Accompanied by a thunderous fuel explosion sound, just as Karti thought he had blocked that arrow, a source energy storm of unparalleled force suddenly erupted from the tail of the huge arrow, which was like a short spear. The enhanced Zhou Tian Lan Seed was rapidly stirring up a gale, burning source energy, and applying power—

In an instant, the unbelievable pure impact transformed it into a rocket, causing the bewildered swordsman to be blown through the wall with a scream, smashing through five layers of underground structures, and then, like a shooting star flying backwards, smashing a large hole in the ceiling of the auction house's surface building in a cloud of dust, and then...

Then, it disappeared into the horizon, turning into a star.

"Aaaaaah!!"

Faintly, one could still hear the Divine Intent Stage swordsman, who was flying all the way, unable to resist, roaring in impotent rage: "I will, I will be back!!"

Everyone from the other forces present opened their mouths wide. They stared blankly at the direction where the Heavenly Dragon noble, the swordsman Karti, had flown away and turned into a star, then turned their heads to look at Su Zhou, who had already nocked a second giant arrow.

"Don't let him keep shooting arrows!"

Immediately, a Divine Intent Stage expert from the Northern Barbarian tribe, a warrior wielding an axe, roared out loud, then took a step forward: "His target is us, is everyone—close combat!"

"Close combat and this old man...fight?"

His voice, which was resolute and firm at the beginning, became confused: "Huh?"

Bang! Crack—

The sound of clothes tearing rang out, as well as the sound of flesh rubbing as muscles swelled. Su Zhou's body began to expand and grow larger, as if tree roots were parasitizing his flesh, mixed with metal armor, transforming his body into a war machine assembled from muscles and steel.

"I won't kill you—"

Violent electric currents, gales, and flames, ignited in the sound of blood rushing, like a tide. Su Zhou raised his head and spoke, his red eyes revealing a light of compassion. He raised his hand and threw the bow and arrow in his hand aside, making a sound like heavy rocks falling to the ground.

Then, he grabbed a strangely shaped cross spear.

"But you should all learn some manners."

Immediately afterward, Su Zhou stepped forward and waved the spear at the many practitioners who were charging towards him, trying to get close.

The bright spear flash swept across, and the visible shockwave caused all those who attempted to get close to stop in their tracks, raising shields or using other methods to resist—but the aftershocks still spread, and the walls of the auction hall, even though they were made of steel, were cut open with a perfectly straight cut, and as the cut spread, the earth, stone, and metal structures began to collapse, making the entire hall look like it was about to be buried.

At this moment, around the auction hall, the civilians had already been evacuated. Farsas of the Coast City was nervously contacting the family elders, requesting reinforcements. The city guards and other law enforcement teams were on their way.

Battles were not uncommon for the people of the Aian Continent, and even wars were commonplace. Every few years, the Coast City had to face several "pirate" sieges, or "bandit forces." Those were tests, and also real wars. The Farsas family had long been prepared for a group of unreasonable grandfathers to start a war in their home.

But now, first, the brilliant arrow light took away their minds, and then the earth of the core city shook violently, causing the troops who wanted to get close to stop in their tracks, shocked as they watched the auction hall that was constantly collapsing.

"Are they really starting a war in the city?!"

This angry thought flashed through the minds of these Coast City people first, but soon, the facts would let them know the truth.

Indeed, the battle had begun, but it wasn't the no-holds-barred melee they had imagined.

It was a one-sided crush.

Boom! Another azure stream of light, a strong man roaring and struggling, but still being carried away into the distance by a rocket in the shape of a cross spear—that was the Northern Barbarian warrior. He clearly felt that Su Zhou's strength wasn't stronger than him, but every use of source energy was meticulous and subtle, like the difference between a child's magnifying glass and a scanning tunneling microscope.

In contrast, his source energy was like scattered troops, while the enemy was a fully armed doomsday mech mechanized mech legion, with air support from a spaceship. Naturally, in the same numbers, or even in a situation of more against less, they were beaten to a pulp.

"Holy Sun above..."

Watching this scene, Ermas touched his hairless head in shock. The middle-aged noble swallowed and murmured in a low voice: "Elder, I think, we probably don't need to send reinforcements..."

"Invite the ancestor, invite the ancestor to come out of the mountain!"

There was no reply for a while, so Ermas could only see a series of continuous azure rockets successively naming people, carrying Divine Intent Stage experts away from the battlefield one by one.

To be honest, in terms of absolute energy, they could easily wipe out the source energy on the rocket and escape, but just like a person's weight is definitely heavier than steel handcuffs, but it is difficult to break free from the other party's restraints, these experts simply couldn't avoid Su Zhou's power blocking them, let alone affect the Lan Seed rocket.

"Get out."

A voice as loud as thunder, but calm, rang out from the collapsed underground: "I won't say it a second time."

Afterward, one could see teams of extremely embarrassed people窜ing out from the underground, leaving the core city of the Coast City as quickly as possible, and rushing towards the direction where their leaders had flown away.

"Is that really Professor Svetore?"

The young representative of the Imperial Military was still a little dazed. He couldn't help but turn his head back as he ran, looking at the white-haired old man whose figure had returned to normal, but whose clothes were torn. In addition to disbelief, the representative also had a trace of understanding in his heart: "So that's why Major Yelena failed...We underestimated him, underestimated him greatly.

"He transformed himself into an alchemical device, just like those monsters of the Light Chasing Cult!"

"Sir, what about the mission?"

At this moment, another officer who accompanied him said uneasily: "Whether it's the information and location of the Coast City's First Shining Holy Rock Source Energy Engine, or the Burning Ember Sacred Tree, we didn't bring it back..."

"And the collusion between those sea earthworms and the Northern Barbarians..."

"...Wait for the general's instructions."

In response, the young representative shook his head slightly. He was also helpless: "We are powerless."

Just like the battle began so quickly, the end of the battle was also so quick.

Underground, in the safe area of the mostly collapsed auction hall, Su Zhou shook his head slightly: "Signs of chaos. There are so many rebels, both open and secret, in such a large empire."

"If I hadn't seen the spoilers, I might have really thought the Asmodean Empire was finished."

That being said, Su Zhou was still very puzzled in his heart.

He knew that the strength of that Sun Emperor could be called the strongest in this world. He could kill three of his level one by one in a one-on-three battle, not to mention the feat of opening up a new era in the future—as long as he wanted to, peace and prosperity throughout the world would be just a thought away.

If the empire hadn't been weak for a long time and hadn't shown the absolute central strength to dominate the entire continent, where would so many rebels come from?

"Unless...he needs war."

"Needs a chaotic continent."

Shaking his head slightly, Su Zhou didn't continue to think about this.

Since the other party was already standing in front of him, there was no need to think about the motive, just think about how to solve the other party.

Turning his head, Su Zhou looked at the Coast City law enforcement captain behind him.

The Divine Intent Stage demonized captain was still blankly shocked. Although his head was covered by a helmet, one could fully imagine the look of shock on his face.

"Your name?"

He heard Su Zhou's question, then swallowed and took off his helmet, revealing a head of flame-like long hair: "Turian, old sir...thank you very much, thank you for your help..."

Turian's face was full of demonic disease and the magic patterns and scars produced by years of fighting. He was a tough knight. Only his golden-green pupils were very bright.

The captain respectfully bowed to Su Zhou: "If it weren't for you, we would basically be unable to suppress these lawless people. The battle would have spread, and half of the surface blocks of the core city would have been destroyed."

"I thank you on behalf of the residents who were almost affected, sir."

"Yes, Turian."

But Su Zhou didn't care about this. He just nodded and said, "Why? Without hesitation, treat your lives as consumables—all demonized people."

Speaking of this, the man raised his head. He looked around at all the demonized people who were watching him nervously, admiringly, and reverently, and then said calmly: "Why are you fighting so hard?"

"Let's not talk about the others, you are already at the Divine Intent Stage, and your Mind Light is an extremely powerful manifestation like the Hellhound. Your future is limitless...You can suppress the symptoms of the demonic disease and live like a normal person. Why are you fighting so hard?"

The strength of the Mind Light generally depends on the size and strength of the manifested mind image. The more exaggerated it is, such as griffins, flying dragons, large snakes, and giant dragons, the stronger the ability of its Mind Light to convert source energy and perform combat skills and spells. The most powerful Mind Light can even fight together with the holder like the Dharma Idol in Earth, resisting natural disasters. The Hellhound is already very powerful. It is one of the top Mind Lights, and may have the possibility of advancing to the Disaster Realm.

Su Zhou knew Turian's answer. He just wanted to get a personal answer.

"...Sir, I understand your confusion. Outsiders may not understand..."

After hesitating for a while, Turian quickly understood that Su Zhou had no reason to plot anything, so the straightforward and upright man also said readily: "I am at the Divine Intent Stage. I can live a normal life—I myself am fine, but what about my children? He has demonized parents, and he is also demonized."

"I am bound to die eventually. Although the demonized Divine Intent Stage can be like normal people, there is no way to recover the lifespan lost before. I will inevitably age prematurely, and my children may not be able to reach the Divine Intent Stage."

Speaking of this, he turned his head and looked at his teammates behind him.

The eyes of all the demonized people were the same firm. Turian smiled, then turned his head and looked at Su Zhou, his eyes bright and clear: "So, we must do everything we can to protect this city, the only city in the entire Aian Continent that treats demonized people equally and gives us dignity."

"Even your lives?" Su Zhou asked.

"My children's dignity is more important than everything I have." Turian replied.

"I think I understand."

Nodding slightly, Su Zhou didn't say much. He stretched out his hand and handed the other party a small booklet: "Practice this guidance technique. It will be good for your demonic disease."

"If you think it's good, share it with others. The demonized people in this city need this cultivation method. Don't hoard it."

"Ah, this..."

Reaching out and nervously taking the booklet that Su Zhou handed over, Turian wanted to say something, but Su Zhou had already turned his head.

He walked towards the auction hall's square.

On the Aian Continent, demonized people are a disease commonly found among residents of fixed villages, factory areas, and poor areas such as slums. In essence, it is a 'excessive spiritual energy disease' in which high concentrations of source energy erode the body, causing cell consciousness to produce souls, which in turn causes patients to produce souls, leading to turbid souls and easy loss of reason.

Its effects are both good and bad. Overall, the disadvantages outweigh the advantages in the Aian world, and the souls of demonized people are the cheapest source energy furnace core fuel. For this reason, each city will 'raise' a group of demonized people in factory areas, outer cities, and around slums, using gangs, or nobles directly taking action, regularly harvesting them as fuel additives.

Although Su Zhou hasn't had much contact with the nobles of this world, they do reveal a classic superior-people taste. They simply don't treat the demonized people, or even the citizens of the entire city, as human beings, but as the flesh and blood wealth in their arms—they have this strength, and even have a complete set of harvesting and exploitation methods. The ruling structure is quite stable.

The Coast City, perhaps because of the kindness of its creators, and the fact that they don't really need the souls of demonized people due to their hard conditions, its initial policy was relatively equal to demonized people. This directly led to their special policies being extremely attractive to demonized people, making them faintly become the promised land in the hearts of the demonized people throughout the continent.

The demonized people gained homes and respect, and the Coast City also gained loyal henchmen and subordinates.

A fair trade.

"The Coast City is already a rare good place among a group of bad people."

Shaking his head slightly, Su Zhou came to the Burning Ember Sacred Tree, which was still locked in the crystal cabinet in the center of the square. He sighed: "In the final analysis, it's still because the spiritual energy density of the entire world is more than forty times the normal density...What exactly is going on? Even the Primordial World shouldn't have such a high spiritual energy density!"

Su Zhou remembered that even in the Perfect World back then, the spiritual energy density of the Tianyuan Continent was only slightly higher than that of Earth. The clear light of heaven and earth and spirituality have nothing to do with spiritual energy density. It is normal in this respect.

After all, the Earth universe is essentially the geometry of the fragments of the Primordial Worlds of all great existences, the central hub of the Great Seal.

Opening the crystal cabinet door, in the gaze of many law enforcement team members and Turian, who didn't know what to do, Su Zhou stretched out his hand.

However, unlike what everyone imagined—Su Zhou didn't intend to take the Burning Ember Sacred Tree. He was a good person and wouldn't do things like stealing chickens and dogs and taking advantage of favors.

He just touched the surface of the Burning Ember Sacred Tree's core again in the emerging azure clouds, and then sensed it with the aura given by the Great Dao Tree.

The azure twelve-pointed star imprint flickered, and the aura of the great existence flickered and analyzed in the soul. Soon, just like Su Zhou quickly found the Aian World that met the conditions with it, the imprint carefully prepared by the Great Dao Tree quickly found the location of the World Tree world cluster.

But the result shocked and confused Su Zhou.

"...What's going on?"

Taking a step back, in the gaze of many law enforcement captains who breathed a sigh of relief, Su Zhou closed the crystal cabinet door.

He looked around the entire auction hall, and even the entire Aian World, in confusion. In his red demon eyes, the light of source energy burned fiercely: "Is it a mistake?"

"This...is the World Tree's world cluster?!"

In Su Zhou's soul, the Snake Spirit, who also sensed this information, was also stunned: "How is that possible? Completely overlapping?"

"The World Tree's world cluster and the Twilight World cluster are superimposed together? But how is this possible? Even if the Great Seal is disordered, it won't gather two great existences together at the same time—they are almost certain to fight, causing turmoil to the entire seal!"

Yala was wagging its tail like an electric fan at this moment. It pondered hard: "Did Twilight do it? Impossible. This jerk is so autistic that he's too lazy to leave even when the seal door is opened. It's the only one in the Pan-Multiverse that couldn't possibly engage in any conspiracies, just like an elephant only needs to curl its nose to eat grass—could it be the World Tree itself?"

"That's impossible! Suicide and existence are completely opposed. He would have to be out of his mind to fight Twilight alone...Wait."

Suddenly, Yala reacted: "That's right, the World Tree would be out of his mind to fight Twilight alone. Even if they are mortal enemies, he would walk around Twilight in the state of being a great existence. At the very least, he would have to bring the Great Dao Tree with him to fight."

"Unless, as soon as he awakens, he faces a situation where he has to fight, and even the request for help is intercepted...There must be other great existences behind this who are playing tricks, but why?"

The Snake Spirit couldn't think of an answer for a while. It began to ponder all the conditions and think about these possibilities.

"Anyway, send it back first."

Since Yala couldn't understand it, Su Zhou was even less likely to understand it. In addition to confusion, he first directly transmitted this information back to the Great Dao Tree: "The Great Dao Tree knows more about the World Tree. After getting this news, he might have some new clues."

"Next, if there is a chance, ask the Lonely Sovereign Pioneer, and the Perfect, they will definitely want to know why too."

"And we will continue to search for the answer to this question in this world."

Su Zhou turned and left the auction hall, leaving the priceless Sacred Tree core in place.

At the same time, the Coast City's cleanup troops also arrived here. They began to sort out the mostly collapsed auction hall and began to repair the structure of the core city.

Everyone knew Su Zhou's previous actions, so even Ermas, who had the worst expression, showed a sincere look of gratitude after seeing Su Zhou.

He wanted to get closer to him, but Su Zhou didn't give him a chance and disappeared directly in place, causing the auction hall manager, who was very likely to be punished, to beat his chest and stomp his feet in regret.

After disappearing, Su Zhou appeared at the highest point of the Coast City's core city, the top of a lookout lighthouse located along the coast.

The nearly two-thousand-meter-high lookout lighthouse was like a beacon, guiding the actions of all ships in the surrounding waters. The source energy brilliance it released was like the sun, and the high heat and radiation were enough to instantly kill a practitioner below the Mind Light Stage.

But Su Zhou was sitting on top of the tower, as if basking in the sunlight. The Sacred Tree roots in his body began to grow slightly, making him feel numb and extremely comfortable.

But the man was just looking down at the city, looking down at the world.

Twilight, Sacred Tree. And other great existences.

Demonic disease, Burning Spirit secret technique, Cinder King, and the Sun Emperor.

The day of the end, the Twilight Dragon, the destined destruction, the Holy Sun that is about to be extinguished, and the rebirth that has been repeated for who knows how many eras.

The multiverse is no exception.

"Why can't there be a peaceful place where people can grow old with support, the strong can be used, the young can grow, and the widowed, lonely, and disabled can all be cared for?"

Su Zhou sighed and stood up: "Why can't all living beings be happy, let those who want to be tested be tested, those who want to fight fight, and let those who just want to live live well?"

The young man, who had already traveled through too many worlds, sighed, but it was just a sigh. He knew the answer to this question very well, which was that living itself must have a tendency and desire, and having a tendency and desire will naturally endure suffering and torture as the price of yearning and longing.

Choose your own direction forward. Choice is tendency.

Those who yearn to go to the pioneers and explorers in the distance need to pay the price of never returning to their hometown; those who yearn to transcend reincarnation need to pay the price of fighting against reincarnation, repeating generation after generation.

People with desires, who want to move forward, must gain strength and pay the price. This is the truth.

But Su Zhou believed that he alone was enough to pay the price.

Burning and sacrificing others who were unrelated to him, other innocent people, as his own price...he would personally burn such guys to ashes.

"Isn't that right, ancestor of the Farsas family?"

Saying that, Su Zhou turned his head and looked to his side: "Mr. Rozelia?"

That was a beautiful blond boy with a worried face.

He had a halo of winged people on his head, and the dragon scales on his arms were also very obvious. The mixed-blood characteristics of the Farsas family were so clear that the identity of this 'boy' in a neat suit was so obvious.

"You are very kind, sir."

But the voice of the blond boy was very old, like an old man who had already died: "But this world is originally about taking and being taken...The Farsas family has already done very well. We have created a paradise in the southeast no-man's land."

"But now, the war is about to start again, and the chaotic world is about to come. Paradise... Paradise can only choose a side and stand. From then on, it will be difficult to choose its own direction forward. Even if you want to pay the price, you can't say it yourself."

"Like the demonized people?"

"We are already very good to the demonized people, and we can even say that we love them."

"But love can kill."

Su Zhou reminded: "It's even simpler than hate, because it is very difficult for hatred to force a person to give up their life, but love can, and it's much more common."

Even in the face of a genuine Disaster Realm expert, the man was still not shaken. He turned his head and looked down at the thousands of demonized people and the many ordinary people in the city.

——If you really hate the demonized people, try to love them.

Design some jobs that will consume them, offer the highest salaries, the most complete training, and give the most considerate care. Tell them that this is glory, dedication, and sacrifice.

Let their wives and children all think that this is the best choice, and let them themselves feel that this is the best choice for their wives and children.

They will become the martyrs of everyone, a part of everyone, and will never be able to occupy a dominant position or influence the rights of the higher-ups—they will not be able to gather together. The high welfare will allow everyone to have food to eat, motivation to work hard, and a glimmer of hope, the hope to live and be happy.

In this way, they will be at ease here in the worse environment outside, and will no longer be willing to move forward and choose a direction.

Instead, they stagnate.

Forgetting innovation, progress, and the desire of all human beings, 'to become better,' as a matter of course.

"Use the best choice to make them unable to find a reason to resist, unable to find other choices, and can only become your fuel, the driving force for your development and progress..."

Su Zhou murmured: "Of course you will give them better welfare, because what you get from them is far more than a thousand times what you give them."

"This is the love and hope that is far more terrible than all hatred."

"...Do you hate this?" After a moment of silence, the sorrowful blond boy turned his head. A trace of light flashed in Rozelia's green eyes: "Hate this Coast City?"

And Su Zhou shook his head and replied: "Even so, you are the best place I have seen and I remember for the demonized people."

"You are all cannibals, but you have a better way of eating, and the demonized people are happier."

Always standing in front of the weak, he sighed: "What I hate is this world."

"Professor Svetore."

Hearing this, Rozelia Farsas nodded. A slight smile appeared on his sorrowful face: "Perhaps it's a bit abrupt, but given the current situation, I think we should have some common ground."

"I think we can have a good talk."

"Indeed."

And Su Zhou said so, and he also turned his head and looked at the other party: "I also want to know your true thoughts."

"So, let's have a good talk."
