Chapter 663 Su Zhou Speaks Thus (W-Word Mega Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

To be honest, Yala was having a terrible time.

Su Zhou was indeed His contractee, but General Yan Shuang was clearly a being that met His criteria for a subordinate. Whether it was bloodline, will, or even fighting style, General Yan Shuang perfectly met the necessary qualities of a Chaos subordinate.

But what now?

He watched helplessly as Su Zhou used the divine wood technique to forge a powerful foundation, condensed abundant source energy with supernatural powers, then used the Undying Soul learned from the Lord of Silence to control it, and finally used methods derived from the Path of Ten Thousand Generations Innovation to defeat His own subordinate.

In other words, He watched helplessly as His contractee used the legacy of other great beings to beat His own subordinate to a pulp.

This feeling... was too sour!

"What are you doing!"

In the soul space, the Snake Spirit immediately pointed at Su Zhou with its tail. "At least use some of my exclusive supernatural powers! Show some of the superior characteristics of a Chaos contractee, show your ambition!"

"Huh? Isn't your characteristic just resurrection after death? Is that it? Do you want this guy to beat me to death?"

Su Zhou, who was waiting for General Yan Shuang to admit defeat, was stunned.

He asked suspiciously, "Don't you think that's a bit much? I can just stand here and let him hit me. At most, I'll just get injured. The cultivation methods of the divine wood lineage are really unreasonable. I've only deduced it to the Divine Intent Realm, and my vitality is already nigh immortal..."

Noticing Yala's 'Ugh' expression, the young man immediately offered a comforting explanation: "Hey, didn't I use the Myriad Thoughts Returning to One and the Devouring Evil Demon Lord? That guy condensed the power of the Northern Lands' people's hearts to deal with me, which was basically sending a charging battery to the Myriad Thoughts Returning to One, right? As for the Devouring Evil Demon Lord, if he were any more evil, I could have taken the opportunity to turn him into an evil soul."

"But this General Yan Shuang isn't very evil. Fighting battles always involves killing people."

"That's the supernatural power of the 'Returning to One' lineage!" Yala was even angrier. Su Zhou's words reminded Him of the Myriad Stars Returning to One and Harmonizing with the Dao Method of the Divine Emperor Tai Hao, which was a similar thing, specializing in dealing with cultivation methods that condensed the will of the people!

"No wonder it was so effective!" Su Zhou said with a look of sudden realization. "Okay, I'll keep using it next time!"

At this moment, the surrounding sky cleared.

Although Su Zhou and General Yan Shuang had only exchanged one move, who won and who lost, who was superior and who was inferior, was already clear.

Even the Yan Shuang army below stopped regrouping. As the leader of the army, the symbol that was the General had been defeated, and even the most obtuse soldier knew what the situation was.

In silence, General Yan Shuang landed on the ground.

As did Su Zhou.

"...The Yan Shuang army has been defeated."

The voice was no longer peculiar, as though carrying multiple reverberating echoes. The black-armored knight raised the spear in his hand. The spearhead, condensed from his spinal marrow, had shattered, turning into sand that scattered on the earth.

This man said the fact with some difficulty: "My Yan Shuang territory's people's hearts, which I condensed for thirty-four years, were shattered with one move... Svetozar, you were right. This kind of power is not enough to accomplish anything."

"Even you couldn't defeat him, let alone the tyrant in the Tower of Babel? The Asmodeus family's foundation is probably not easy to overcome."

"Oh?"

Su Zhou raised his eyebrows slightly. He was a little curious: "Are you saying that you don't think I can defeat Asmodeus XIII?"

"If it's just Asmodeus XIII, perhaps you could."

General Yan Shuang replied calmly, raising his head to meet Su Zhou's gaze.

Although there was still a hint of loss in his crimson eyes, he seemed to have awakened from a dream, appearing much more real and grounded: "But if it's the 'Sun Emperor', then it's unlikely."

Su Zhou did not ask why there was such a big difference between Asmodeus XIII and the Sun Emperor.

Because he could sense that the General before him was not discouraged by the previous defeat.

The black-armored knight had indeed been defeated, but he tightened his grip on the spear, which only had the shaft remaining.

Su Zhou could sense that a different kind of fighting spirit than before was burning in him.

"I admit that my previous choices would indeed lead to failure. They would only start a meaningless war that would most likely end in death."

His body slowly straightened, standing tall and upright: "Indeed, this was my willful decision, and the Yan Shuang territory chose to follow me. I truly do not have the right to bring everyone to their deaths together."

"But."

"Professor Svetozar, sometimes, someone has to do the wrong thing. This is a feud that has been entangled for thousands of years, even several epochs. I have made my choice, and I am not afraid of how bitter the fruit it bears will be."

"You can protect the common people of the Yan Shuang territory."

Once again, General Yan Shuang pointed the spear at Su Zhou, his gaze burning as though aflame.

The black-armored knight solemnly gripped the shaft of the spear, which was missing its head. His ten fingers were like cast iron: "But you cannot deprive me of the right to choose a glorious death."

This time, his words did not include the Yan Shuang territory or the Yan Shuang army.

General Yan Shuang only represented himself, raising his spear against Su Zhou.

"Good!"

Su Zhou's eyes lit up.

At this moment, he truly looked at the man before him with serious eyes, praising him: "That's how it should be!"

General Yan Shuang's previous method of condensing the hearts of hundreds of millions of people in the Yan Shuang territory was actually very clumsy. Rather, all cultivation methods that blindly condensed the will of the people were essentially clumsy.

Gathering the power of the masses was not done in this way.

No matter what method was used to condense the will of the people, whether it was coaxing, deceiving, or guiding with personal charm, in the final analysis, the will of the people was only the will of the people. It could not be counted as the true power of the people, merely the thoughts of the people.

If you wanted to extract the true power of the masses, you needed to forge a civilization. General Yan Shuang needed to lead the entire Northern Lands Yan Shuang territory to develop productivity, build more mobile cities, raise more people, popularize cultivation methods and education, and allow the people to eat their fill and have a comfortable winter.

See what is done, not what is said.

Only in this way, would the entire Yan Shuang territory eventually be full of talent, with many experts among the common people, with everyone being strong. Such a Yan Shuang territory, united as one, would be the true power of the masses, and not just condensing a little will and thinking that they could represent everyone!

General Yan Shuang had clearly understood this point after being defeated.

Condensing the will of the people, what a hollow approach. He felt ashamed of it, but precisely because of this, he gained courage from his shame, wanting to fight Su Zhou with his own power.

At this moment, although he was weaker than before, he was even more worthy of Su Zhou's serious attention.

Serious, beating him up.

Without any nonsense, General Yan Shuang thrust the spear towards Su Zhou's chest. A gray fire ignited at the tip of the spear. This fire that decayed all things dimmed the surrounding light. It reflected the holy sun in the sky, and for a moment, Su Zhou only saw a gray expanse of flame.

The sound of thunder exploding was far behind the spearhead's trajectory. Only light itself could be faster than this spear.

The spear broke through supernatural powers, piercing through the defenses constructed by the Light of Eternity, but Su Zhou raised the large shield in his hand. Circles of transparent ripples were flashing on the crystal shield, absorbing all momentum.

The spear tip struck the shield face, sinking into the ripples, as though sinking into a quagmire, unable to advance even an inch. Even a force of rebound was transmitted, wanting to shake the spear from the General's hand and seize it.

But the General was clearly not so fragile as to be reduced to this. He gripped his weapon tightly. Although he could not pull it out for a moment, he did not only have one weapon.

In just an instant, the black-armored knight clamped the spear with his left arm and drew a longsword from his waist with his right hand. The bright sword light slashed towards Su Zhou's neck.

Having anticipated this, Su Zhou pushed the large shield forward, lifting it up. The enormous force deformed the General's movements, and the upper edge of the crystal shield also parried this sudden longsword.

With a grating sound of metal twisting, a small dent appeared on the sword's blade, but a gray-black line of fire extended straight from the tip of the sword, directly stabbing towards Su Zhou's brow.

Su Zhou did not dodge or evade. He directly raised his head, slamming into this killing move that General Yan Shuang had hidden beneath his many actions.

Boom! The violent tremor caused the earth to split open, creating a giant crater hundreds of meters deep. This was still the result of both sides of the battle contracting their power into an extremely small range. The gray flames ignited Su Zhou's head, then spread to his entire body.

"Hmm!"

Immediately, Su Zhou let out a muffled groan. Shaking his head as if he were in pain, he was seemingly burned by the flames. "Is this your natal supernatural power?"

Although he said so, the movements of his hands did not slow down.

Taking advantage of the opportunity when General Yan Shuang thought he had been hit by the gray fire and temporarily lost his combat ability, the young man suddenly erupted, directly slamming the shield out, sending him, along with his long spear and long sword, crashing into the ground.

Immediately, a huge depression that caused the rock shell to warp appeared on the surface, causing the surrounding Yan Shuang fleet to retreat, lest they be swallowed by the fissures that were tearing the earth apart.

The longsword shattered into pieces, embedded in the black armor, making him look like a pine cone embedded in the mud.

"How is that possible?!"

Even being slammed into the rock wall, unable to get up, General Yan Shuang's tone still carried disbelief.

Looking at Su Zhou, who was burning all over at this moment, but whose figure did not waver in the slightest, his gaze was incomprehensible: "My Abyss Fire... the Flame of Destruction that can corrode even the radiance of the holy sun..."

This was General Yan Shuang's ultimate technique, a Chaos secret method that he had excavated from his bloodline and ancient books. It could burn all things, not only the flesh and soul, but even emotions, will, and even beliefs could be reduced to ashes, turning into primordial chaos.

This flame could burn a soul into a blank, turning it into a primitive soul of the abyss, thereby birthing a brand new demon.

Ordinary Disaster Realm experts who were struck by this would not even be able to protect their Heart Light Body, and would be eroded into cripples.

This was also the ultimate move that General Yan Shuang used to deal with the Sun Emperor. He believed that it could at least be used for mutual destruction.

But Su Zhou did not show the slightest tendency to be muddled-headed by erosion.

The gray Abyss Fire burned fiercely all over Su Zhou's body. It burned away the outer layer of skin, exposing the layers upon layers of dense muscles and divine wood root structures beneath the skin.

The fine muscle fibers and divine wood fibers were intertwined, forming a crude array of runes, and the tens of millions of crude runes contained within his entire body were connected in one breath, merging into an integrated Immortal Magic Array.

The Zhenyuan Shifting World Undying Body and the Sacred Geometry Ritual were thoroughly mastered by Su Zhou, forging his own Immortal Dharma Body. The gray flames could burn away the surface structure, but the Undying Body's regeneration speed was faster than the burning speed.

Soon, the burning range of the Abyss Fire changed from the whole body to only the head, with only one eye socket left, where gray flames danced.

Not in a hurry to completely extinguish the Abyss Fire, Su Zhou felt this pain, felt the essence of General Yan Shuang's supernatural powers, and felt the unwillingness and hatred in his heart.

And bore it.

He walked forward, coming to General Yan Shuang, who was struggling to get up.

Facing the tall man who stood silently before him, the black-armored knight summoned source energy, condensed the Heart Light Body, and stood up with the support of a black snake.

"...You're actually so strong."

He seemed to be smiling bitterly.

"I'm far from as strong as you think."

Su Zhou replied calmly.

—I am far stronger than you think.

"...I have been completely defeated." Even the last Abyss Fire had been broken, proving that he might not even have the possibility of mutual destruction with the Sun Emperor.

Not understanding Su Zhou's true meaning, General Yan Shuang said simply after a moment of silence: "I will not act rashly again."

"But what about you, Professor Svetozar? After defeating me, what will you do? Continue to go north, and protect the barbarian tribes of the Northern Lands as I did?"

"That's something for later." Su Zhou nodded slightly. He did not deny General Yan Shuang's words.

But then, the man made a move that shocked and enraged the General to the extreme.

He reached out and took General Yan Shuang's spinal spear.

"Since I have defeated you and protected you, then I must shoulder your responsibility."

Holding the shield in one hand and the spear horizontally in front of him, Su Zhou said solemnly: "I will find out the truth of this world, the past of the gods and the divine tree, the reason for the birth of the Twilight Dragon, why you and the Northern Lands tribes have been driven to the ends of the world—I will find all the truth and unravel all the mysteries."

"You arrogant bastard!"

Roaring through gritted teeth, General Yan Shuang laughed in anger. If he had not been seriously injured, he would have died together with Su Zhou now.

He rebuked, stepping forward, advancing even though his bones were creaking, "You actually intend to shoulder everything for me? Can you bear it!"

"Of course."

The gray flames on his head began to gradually extinguish. Su Zhou promised earnestly: "That is precisely so."

"When I make up my mind, the entire Aion world is already on my back."

After saying this, he turned around, no longer looking at General Yan Shuang, who was struggling to approach him, but directly took off, flying towards the Northern Lands tribes.

General Yan Shuang could not catch up. He could not even catch Su Zhou's shadow, he could only stand where Su Zhou had originally stood, raise his head, and stare as the other's figure disappeared into the clouds.

"Svetozar, just how arrogant do you intend to be?!!!"

No one responded to his roar, only the cloudless sky.

Su Zhou, who was denounced as arrogant, flew towards the north.

Some people are born heroes. Their birth and existence can solve other people's troubles, even if they don't do it deliberately. Just doing what they want can accomplish it.

Su Zhou was different. He was not a born hero. He didn't have a great personality when he was young. If he wanted to help others, he had to deliberately think and deliberately help.

Only when he wanted to help others could he help others.

And now, he was thinking.

Thinking of a solution.

"There's a problem with the world of Twilight, Su Zhou."

In a moment of silence, the Snake Spirit was the first to speak. His tone was solemn: "Ever since arriving in the Twilight world cluster, I've felt that something was wrong, but now, after seeing that my subordinate can actually join forces with the subordinate of Twilight, I've gradually understood."

"Su Zhou, I think that it was several great existences who joined forces to undo the seal of Twilight, which led to the current situation."

Su Zhou, who was flying, was slightly startled. He smiled, "Isn't that the same conclusion we came to in the beginning? The Primordial World of Twilight is broken. This is definitely unusual. The problem is that we don't even know who undid the seal of Twilight."

Speaking of this, he couldn't help but shake his head, somewhat moved, "Fortunately, Twilight remains unmoved, staying in its own world cluster, not moving at all… otherwise, this would definitely be a big problem for our multiverse, right?"

"A big problem... Hmph, it's far more than that." Yala snorted lightly. The tone of the red Snake Spirit was not as relaxed as usual. He said seriously, "Although they are hiding it well, in the final analysis, if they do it, they will inevitably be discovered. I have already discovered their clues."

"Su Zhou, I said that the Great Seal itself is the power of many great existences mutually restraining and binding each other, equivalent to us sealing ourselves. This kind of seal is extremely stable, and no one can undo it alone."

Su Zhou naturally remembered, he nodded: "That is indeed the case."

At this moment, the Snake Spirit shook his head in the soul space: "Therefore, in each Primordial World, you can always find the traces of those great existences that mutually seal each other—just like in the Perfect Primordial World, my traces are the heaviest, because I am the Perfect's greatest enemy, we mutually restrain each other."

This was indeed a fact. Su Zhou nodded, and his expression was thoughtful: "And the Correct War originally started with the campaign to subjugate Twilight. In other words, the Primordial World of Twilight must have the traces of all the great existences in the seal..."

"That's the principle." Yala nodded. Su Zhou's ability to quickly understand saved him a lot of words.

The red Snake Spirit solemnly raised his head, his gaze seemingly able to penetrate the world barrier of the Aion World, directly into the void: "And in the Aion World, there is me, there is the Lord of Silence, there is the Perfect, there is the Returning to One, there is the Divine Tree, and you can even smell the scent of Destiny—you even saw an explorer, the strength of that pioneer is more obvious than anyone else."

"But the problem is—where are the others?"

"Where are the other great existences? The powers of those great existences who should have sealed Twilight together with us... Termination, Creation, Balance… Where have Their families and subordinates gone? Where have Their auras gone?"

Without needing an answer, Su Zhou already knew the answer to this question.

"It's Them." The man frowned tightly: "It's these guys who undid the restraints on Twilight—It's Them who undid the seal on Twilight's Primordial World, causing this last sealed door to shatter, and its fragments to scatter, turning into many fragments like the Aion Worlds!"

"That's right." Yala shook his tail. He could now see the veins in the shadows.

"Someone intends to use Twilight as the source to completely shatter the Great Seal… But They chose the wrong person. The Primordial World of Twilight does gather the auras of all the great existences, so it can almost be considered the second center of the Great Seal. Destroying it can undoubtedly weaken the Great Seal."

"But Twilight doesn't care. All of this is meaningless. It doesn't move, causing the plans of those great existences to fail."

"What should I do?" Su Zhou narrowed his eyes. He didn't hesitate and asked directly.

"...Do what you want." After a moment of silence, Yala shook his head: "This isn't a problem that can be directly solved in the Aion World… If there really are other great existences working together, then everything that has happened to Twilight is just the beginning."

"We don't even know their true purpose. How can we respond? Why not complete the plan that has already been made, let you learn more about the Twilight's family and aura, and solve those Nihilism cults in the Earth universe first."

Noticing Su Zhou's solemn emotions, the Snake Spirit smiled and shook his head: "Don't worry too much, Su Zhou."

"Twilight is unsealed, the World Tree is blocked, and Twilight himself is autistic. Although its problems are difficult to solve, it's still easy to solve the other guys."

Easy?

Su Zhou expressed doubt about this. None of the existences related to the great existences could be easily solved. Who was Yala trying to fool?

But what he said was correct. Regardless of whether the other people could be easily solved, he should do what he could do now.

At this moment, Su Zhou had already arrived at the location of the Northern Lands tribes.

The northern ice plains of the Empire had many names, 'Frostwind', 'Hell of Imprisonment' and 'Silence' were all its names, but what remained unchanged was the deathly silence behind the meaning of these names.

It stretched from the Ionian Mountains in the west to the Sea of Frozen Prisons in the east. The climate of this vast ice plain and mountains was like that of the Earth's polar regions. Half of the year was eternal day, and the other half was eternal night.

When there was sunlight, the temperature on the ice plain was barely tolerable, only about eighty degrees below zero. Without source energy disasters, it was already considered good weather for the tribal people who had taken root here.

But when the eternal night arrived, the endless snow clouds and frost mist stirred up by source energy would cover every corner of the earth, bringing absolute temperatures below two hundred degrees below zero and continuous terrifying disasters.

Darot would never like this environment. Even if he was called a barbarian and lived here for generations, he didn't think this was the homeland of the barbarians.

In this environment, only dragons and extreme source energy beasts could survive. Humans could not have originated from this land. Although he had never said it to anyone, he swore to himself that he would definitely find the origin of the Frostwind and Gloaming Dusk tribes and find their roots.

And, find the reason why they had fallen to such a state.

Darot originally thought that this oath would be broken, but he didn't expect the leader of the Yan Shuang army, who should have been sworn enemies, to come in person and tell him the truth he had found out.

The Yan Shuang army and the Northern Lands barbarians, who had fought countless battles for generations, essentially had the same origin. They were all descendants of the ancient gods, who were driven to this desperate situation by the combined forces of the various races.

But merely knowing didn't have any use.

Because the holy sun was gradually dimming, the source energy of the Northern Lands ice was becoming more agitated, and a great disaster that was rare to see in a thousand years was about to descend. Even if they knew that the other side was of the same race, the Northern Lands tribes would definitely head south in order to survive.

And the target of heading south, if it couldn't be the Yan Shuang army, could only be the Empire.

This was an imminent invasion, a war that could not be stopped. The major Northern Lands tribes had already sharpened their swords and prepared their horses. They had selected the strongest warriors and the most powerful priests to form the Great Sky Gloaming Army and sweep across the entire world once again.

That was how it should have been.

Until a man stood in their way.

Darot was still recalling, Professor Svetozar's every move still remained in his heart.

And a huge, incomparably huge white wolf phantom, the size of a small mountain, was quietly squatting behind the Great Chieftain.

The deep cyan eyes of the 'World Devouring Wolf' Heart Light Body stared at the sun and moon that were shining on the edge of the horizon, as if staring at the food that it was destined to swallow into its belly.

It was almost time to enter the eternal night. The rotating holy sun would bid farewell to the northern ice plains in the next six months, and darkness would become the keynote of this vast land, causing all things to suffer.

Darot closed his eyes tightly, he was waiting.

Until a light that was brighter than the distant holy sun appeared on the horizon, the stimulus of this light caused him to open his eyes.

The Great Chieftain raised his head, he saw Svetozar carrying a longbow, holding a large shield and a long spear, flying from afar.

He had already recognized that the long spear in the other party's hand was General Yan Shuang's weapon, a divine weapon forged from his spine.

"That guy has been defeated?"

Standing up, the great ax forged from meteorite steel was half-raised, Darot said to himself solemnly: "The speed is too fast. I originally thought I could delay it for a while longer, but I didn't expect that it wouldn't even last for half a day."

"Fortunately, as soon as I returned, I had the tribes quickly migrate away, otherwise, the subsequent battle would probably be affected."

Su Zhou quickly arrived at Darot's location.

While flying, he sized up the World Devouring Wolf Heart Light Body behind the other party, his eyes revealing curiosity.

"This kind of pure devouring, as if wanting to return everything to nothingness… As for the wolf, it's just an image, not the main point."

Su Zhou nodded slightly: "It seems that this is the direct inheritance of Twilight."

"I originally thought that the World Overturning Serpent was related to Yala, but now that I think about it, it's probably the same. It's also a side incarnation of Twilight."

Yala didn't reply. This question was obviously too obvious and didn't require him to speak.

After sizing him up, Su Zhou turned his head and looked sideways at Darot, who was waiting in full force.

"Svetozar of Radiant Hope, I'm not as easy to talk to as that guy General Yan Shuang."

The barbarian Great Chieftain stood on the earth, as majestic as an iron tower. Darot's aura was now integrated with the mountains and earth in this extremely northern ice plain. His arms were as thick and powerful as magnificent mountain ranges, containing incredible power.

He took a deep breath, and the exposed muscles all over his body began to be covered layer by layer with a layer of frost. Layers of ice that were close to absolute zero formed a protective armor constructed of ice.

Looking up at the light in the high sky, Darot waited for a long time. He had already prepared to fight Su Zhou here.

But Su Zhou suddenly accelerated, he crossed Darot, who was stunned in place, and flew towards the Great Chieftain's back.

He didn't stop.

"What, what's going on?!"

Darot was immediately stunned. He turned around and began to accelerate rapidly, chasing after the stream of light that Su Zhou left behind when he flew. This tribal warrior was not very good at flying, he could only run and jump with his legs—this time he didn't bring the Frostwing Dragon, he could only rely on his own legs.

Su Zhou's flying speed wasn't too fast, at least it was slower than his full-speed journey. Darot could barely keep up.

Two powerhouses who exceeded the ordinary Disaster Realm, one in front and one behind, quickly arrived at the very center of the Northern Lands ice plain.

The place where the source energy storm was the most rampant.

The source energy of the ice and frost in the ice plain was surging and surging. The condensation of all silence and cold, the roaring source energy storm was the only sound in the already eternal dark ice plain.

Here, even dragons and source energy beasts would not rashly move, because if they were not careful, the terrifying ice wind would freeze their wings, turning them into ice sculptures, forever frozen in this place.

Not to mention the Northern Lands tribes—this was their forbidden area. Except for the Great Chieftain and the Dragon Priest, who needed to observe the direction of the natural disasters, who would come here to divine the future, at other times, even Disaster Realm powerhouses would walk around it.

Chasing after Su Zhou's trajectory, Darot was filled with humiliation of being looked down upon in addition to doubt. At this moment, his heart was full of anger, wanting to loudly ask Su Zhou why he ignored him—you must know that even General Yan Shuang had fought him, just where was Darot inferior to the other, that he didn't even have the qualification to be looked at by Svetozar?

Soon, Su Zhou stopped, and Darot, who had rushed to catch up behind Su Zhou, stabilized his breath.

He had originally sworn in his heart that when he fought Su Zhou later, he would definitely use his lifelong skills to teach this arrogant guy who ignored him a lesson.

But in the next instant, Great Chieftain Darot widened his eyes, staring blankly at everything that was happening in front of him, unable to say a word.

Because, in the sky above, Su Zhou tore off his left arm, scattering the cyan-white blood all over the sky, and threw it into the very center of the ice plain storm, the chaotic land where the source energy was the most condensed.

The cyan-white blood was filled with endless vitality. Darot, who had hunted silver dragons and extracted their life essence, had thought that that was the ultimate of natural life, enough to revive a disabled old man who had reached the end of his life, and even restore his limbs.

But now, the Great Chieftain knew that he was wrong.

Compared to that cyan-white blood, the blood of the silver dragon was simply the difference between the starlight and the holy sun, and could not be reasoned with.

And that left arm that had been torn off was swept into the storm in the sky.

Immediately afterwards, there was a roar.

Boom—Boom—

Like thunder striking a giant drum, a loud noise that was enough to shatter the eardrums of ordinary people exploded in the sky, causing a flash of light that surpassed the proud sun to burst out above the sky.

The storm began to rotate, the clouds were twisting, and the flowing clouds and snowflakes, wind and frost, and dust between heaven and earth all turned into a huge, incomparably huge source energy vortex that was rotating in reverse at the top of the sky. The snow and ice on the ground began to fly upwards, defying gravity, forming a giant wind pillar that supported the sky between heaven and earth.

Darot opened his mouth wide, unable to close it for a moment.

Because he saw that in this wind pillar, there was lightning flashing. The lightning that struck down bifurcated, looking like an arm!

And this was just the beginning. Lightning arms were continuously striking down in the wind pillar. It began to grow and spread, and finally condensed into shape. Semi-transparent source energy fluctuations spread in all directions, the clouds shook, rippling like waves, and the thunder light spread within, like the roots of a tree.

No one interfered.

Therefore, soon, it took shape—a lightning-like arm grew between the clouds and the wind. It drew on the endless natural source energy between heaven and earth, and controlled it, turning it into its own use.

Finally, it turned into a source energy divine tree that was growing upside down, with the bifurcated lightning as its branches!

The vast source energy that was enough to create several natural disasters did not dissipate, and even became more solidified and powerful because of the appearance of the divine tree… But they were controlled and bound, and released in a steady trend between heaven and earth, forming waves of stable source energy tides, spreading to the entire Northern Lands ice plain.

The upside-down divine tree was like a hand with five fingers spread out. It seemed to want to press down on the earth, forming a mountain peak, but in the end it floated in mid-air, stirring up all the source energy between heaven and earth, preventing them from wreaking havoc.

Even, it released a warm light, illuminating the dark night of the Northern Lands ice plain during the eternal night.

—It was dawn.

At this moment, Darot stopped thinking.

How could he have imagined that Su Zhou would actually take off one of his arms as a tool to suppress the prototype of the great natural disaster that was about to erupt in the center of the Northern Lands ice plain?

How could he have imagined that the terrifying natural disaster that was so violent that even the Disaster Realm could not stop it would actually be so easily solved by someone?

He had too many things he couldn't imagine, so much so that Darot barely reacted until Su Zhou spoke, looking blankly in the direction where Professor Svetozar was.

"This tree is called Candlelight." (Zhuzhou)

Although his left arm was taken off, the ice and snow dust on the ground condensed into the shape of an arm and was embedded in the empty sleeve. Su Zhou didn't care about this.

He just raised his head, staring at the upside-down wind and thunder divine tree in mid-air, and said with a light smile to Darot on the side: "Great Chieftain of the Northern Tribes, even if you are descendants of the gods."

"Even if your ancestors may have caused irreversible damage to the world."

"Even if you are barbarians in the eyes of others, incomprehensible enemies, and almost savage monsters."

"I still shouldn't take away your right to avenge."

"But I still want to protect you."

Saying this, Su Zhou strode towards Darot, but this burly barbarian chieftain staggered back again and again, shaking his head in panic, as if what was approaching him was not a white-haired old man, but some kind of creature that surpassed human intelligence, like…

Like a god walking among men.

—Even if the sun doesn't shine on you, and warmth doesn't favor you.

—Even if the wind hurts you, and the frost treats you harshly.

—I am still willing to turn into the sun, giving you warmth and light, so that you don't lose your way in despair and darkness.

The divine tree can survive in outer space and take root on stars.

No matter how harsh the environment on a planet is, it is absolutely impossible for it to be harsher than the surface of a star, and it is absolutely impossible for it to be colder and more void than the void area of the universe.

Existence is the foundation of everything, whether it is exploring, fighting, transcending, or pointing out mistakes, recognizing correctness, creating new things, destroying old things, everything is based on existence.

However, if you only care about survival, you will be reduced to nothingness.

Just existing for the sake of existence, not exerting positive influences such as creation and exploration on the world, just blindly devouring, destroying, and exerting negative influences on life, is the ultimate life of nothingness.

However, the original instinct of all things in the world is precisely this kind of evil—being willing to pay any price in order to exist.

In the end, it is just a kind of void essence.

To overcome this kind of evil, you need to overcome the original instinct.

Cast it with civilization, and bind it with faith.

Life needs to give itself meaning.

But sometimes, lives that have lost too many conditions and are too difficult cannot find the correct and meaningful path on their own—just like the barbarians of the Northern Lands, no one can blame them.

Therefore, there is a need for education.

There is a need for guidance.
