Chapter 1 The Beginning

The otherworld Zhuzhou with the ID "I'm Definitely Not a Free-Reign Devil!" gave the Chen Dao Dragon Daughter a divine power that, in a sense, was similar to a gecko shedding its tail to survive.

However, the extent of its radical nature was truly devilish among devils, a demon among demons!

"To, to actually ask me to abandon all my flesh and etherealize my 'spiritual core' to survive?!"

Aside from the profound demonic divine power called the 'Lapis Lazuli Forbidden Shattering True Demon Self-Sacrifice Method,' the transmitted information also included a set of corresponding action steps. The first step was to have the Chen Dao Dragon Daughter abandon all of her flesh (the original text referring to it as a stinky skin), regard it as a carrier for the Thunderbolt Calamity Fire, directly trigger the Immeasurable Vacuum Tribulation, create a cosmic storm, and then throw this body, which had become a super Calamity Fire bomb, at the enemy at the fastest possible speed.

In this way, not to mention dozens of True Gods, even Heavenly Sovereigns would find it tricky, feeling as though they were facing a rapidly flying cactus. They could catch it, but it was just too...

Not difficult, but disgusting.

[That way, you can simply escape with your spiritual core and be free!]

The voice on the other end of the chat group spoke casually, seemingly extremely experienced: [Don't worry, when you ignite the Calamity Fire, they won't have the energy to care whether you're really dead or not.]

"But, but..."

Sensing the essence of this divine power, the Chen Dao Dragon Daughter's heart was filled with bewilderment and inexplicable confusion: "If only the spiritual core remains, abandoning the entire Mechanical God body, then I would lose more than ninety percent of my power, and a complete recovery would be hopeless..."

"Isn't this the same as suicide?!"

Mechanical Gods, if viewed by humans from Earth, would mostly resemble Transformers, or various kinds of massive mechanical giants.

Their greatest strength lies in their Mechanical God bodies, which condense endless essence.

Abandoning the God body is, in a sense, turning from 'God' to 'mortal,' almost equivalent to suicide.

[That is wrong.]

Hearing this, the 'I'm Definitely Not a Free-Reign Devil!' on the other end of the chat group said in a smiling, friendly tone: [Don't you still have your soul?]

Dragon Daughter: "?"

[As the saying goes, the soul is the reflection of the flesh, and the flesh is the shell of the soul. The soul and the flesh are born together, complementing each other. The absence of either is certainly an extremely serious loss, but for us Zhuzhou who have already attained the flavor of Immortality and Divinity, even losing all of our souls and flesh is just a kind of 'severe disability.']

[As the saying goes, a gecko sheds its tail to survive. We Celest... Celestial Gods, sacrifice ourselves for survival, which is the right path among the right paths!]

Dragon Daughter: "???"

Even though He said that, the other Zhuzhou in the chat group didn't give face.

[Eating Sleeping Fighting Emperor]: [The Devil is starting to recommend His self-detonation technique again. Can anyone stop this guy from turning all the newbies into self-detonating machines?]

[It's Peng, Not Pigeon]: [Actually, it's quite useful. Last time, I split off five great avatars, and each avatar used this method to self-detonate, directly blowing up the three major mountain gates that were besieging me, blowing them away, crying for their parents and screaming for their mothers. I support the Devil.]

[Trees Aren't Good at Sports, But Are Good at Hitting People]: [Little Pigeon, your foundation is still too weak. If you were also a Divine Tree, you would have at least one thousand three hundred times the spiritual power reserves of the same level at this time. Why worry about being besieged?]

[A Dragon That Can't Be Fed]: [Mechanical God? Can it be eaten? Is it delicious? How do you eat it?]

Dragon Daughter: "???"

For a time, the entire chat group was spammed.

Accompanying this were the tumultuous resonances of powerful auras.

In the entire Zhutian Zhuzhou Mutual Aid System, there were a total of seventeen active members, plus the Chen Dao Dragon, making eighteen, and among them, only ten were relatively active.

The rest were either very strong or too weak and didn't have the time to frequently come to the chat group to communicate with other Zhuzhou. At least, they weren't present when the Chen Dao Dragon appeared.

But even so, the auras of these ten Zhuzhou were as vast and terrifying as the explosion of a star.

In an instant, the sky was filled with various enormous beasts, divine birds, giants, divine trees, and dragon phantoms and visions. Everything was different and without a fixed example.

And a dazzling golden giant egg floated, silently releasing endless light.

Facing these different yet interconnected powerful auras, the Chen Dao Dragon Daughter felt dizzy. He let out an "Ouch!" and his legs weakened, unable to stop himself from sitting down in the nebula.

There was really no way, because just now, several auras that were no less powerful, and even stronger than his prime, surged into his soul space. Coupled with the divine power that the Devil had transmitted earlier, the already extremely tired Dragon Daughter felt that his soul was a bit overloaded.

And at this time, the Zhuzhou, known as the Devil, was still talking eloquently: [In short, don't worry.]

[After you self-detonate, your soul body can directly use a secret method to transfer your spirit and possess a life form suitable for your soul... At that time, you can negotiate and cooperate with the possessor, letting the other party help you restore your body.]

[How about it, newbie? My method is definitely effective. Anyway, you don't have any other options for the time being, so why not give it a try!]

After thinking for a while, the Chen Dao Dragon Daughter cautiously asked, "What do you mean by a life form suitable for my soul?"

[Same race, same kind,] the Devil answered concisely.

"What if there isn't one?"

[Then it would be a bit difficult... But aren't you a Zhuzhou? Then it should be a random selection...]

Saying this, the Devil glossed over the topic nonchalantly: [Hey, if it could be determined, then it wouldn't be the means of a Chaos Celestial God!]

——'You're clearly a Devil!' The Dragon Daughter wanted to shout out loud, but he was too tired, so he didn't bother.

In fact, that was indeed the case.

For a time, the Chen Dao Dragon realized that he really had no other choice.

Outside, the search fleet from the Founding God System was already approaching. The massive Mechanical God army shook space-time, shattering all discordant objects in the nebulae.

"Ah, whatever, that's enough!"

Gritting his teeth, the Dragon Daughter opened his eyes, agitated flames dancing in his platinum-gold eyes.

Now, there was no time to care what exactly this 'Zhutian Zhuzhou Mutual Aid System,' which had inexplicably appeared in his soul space, was, or what the origins of those 'group members' who seemed somewhat similar to him but were actually vastly different were.

Now, he could only fight to the death!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In that instant, in the nebula, the Genesis Holy Seat's search fleet suddenly detected an inconceivable energy fluctuation erupting around a nascent star not far from their fleet.

Before they could excitedly shout, 'We've found the target!' A moment later, hundreds of millions of miles of majestic airflow surged up. The materialized energy tide rotated and stirred like a galaxy, instantly blowing away all the surrounding nebula matter, revealing the originally hidden 'Chen Dao Dragon Body!'

At this moment, the Divine Dragon, emitting platinum light all over his body and resembling a blazing sun, was groaning in pain. The endless spiritual energy operating according to the 'Lapis Lazuli Forbidden Shattering True Demon Self-Sacrifice Method' was converting all the spiritual power inside his body into raging Calamity Fire and Karma Fire. This endless Calamity Fire and Karma Fire stirred the Immeasurable Vacuum Sea, and in a short, unbelievable amount of time, it induced the universe's spontaneous 'tidal collapse' phenomenon. All the spiritual energy from all directions surged towards the Chen Dao Dragon, as if trying to fill a black hole.

Then, it transformed into 'Heavenly Tribulation,' indiscriminately rushing towards all directions, towards the Founding fleet that was caught off guard and facing an inexplicable great calamity!

"Let's die together!"

Vaguely, the Mechanical God at the head seemed to hear such a roar.

Then, He saw a giant dragon of light, whose body had already begun to collapse and scatter, burning fiercely, rushing rapidly towards the direction of the fleet He was in!

[Don't come over!!!] Immediately, this Mechanical God let out a very embarrassing wail.

But the facts obviously didn't transfer according to His will.

Time and space seemed to stand still.

Immediately afterward, a golden-white circular light罩 spread in all directions at the speed of light, slowly dissipating only after five seconds.

And all the nebulae in the light 罩 were cleared. Layers of spiritual energy fluctuations raged, stirring the entire universe into a glaring white. Lightning bolts burst and surged, even the many Mechanical Gods who had formed a formation were blown into pieces, and in the end, they could only flee in all directions, losing one-third of their manpower.

The fleet was annihilated, and most of the Mechanical Gods were severely injured. After finally escaping the large nebula area, which was already full of Calamity Fire and space-time turbulence, the many Mechanical Gods looked at the hollow area that had already turned into a forbidden death zone, their hearts still pounding.

[The Chen Dao Dragon chose to fight to the death?!]

A crab-shaped Mechanical God, who suffered the least damage, as His space-time compression method was best at defense, hence still had the energy to think: [Damn it, we didn't want to kill Him... And where did this power come from?! No information shows that He has such explosive power!]

[Regardless of whether He does or not, the situation is terrible now. We have offended the Creation Ruins, and we haven't obtained the Chen Dao Dragon's authority...]

Another Mechanical God was urgently repairing the wounds on His body. He said in a deep voice: [The contradictions will intensify. If the Chen Dao Dragon hadn't died, even that most protective 'Sky-Supporting Titan' wouldn't be angry... But now, His junior is dead... If He finds out that we did it...]

This moth-shaped Mechanical God trembled his mouthparts, unable to speak for a moment.

[Enough!]

And the original leader, who was also the most severely injured among the surviving Mechanical Gods, the spherical Mechanical God whose entire luminous sphere had split in half, said solemnly: [The Main Gods will consider this matter themselves. We are just completing a task.]

[Moreover, the Creation Ruins and our Genesis Holy Seat are originally two sides of the same coin, derived from the same origin. Others may fear them, but why should we scare ourselves?]

What's more...

This Mechanical God turned his head (although He was a sphere) and shifted His observation point to the other side.

In the Sky Light Realm, the massive supergiant star 'Sky Light' was still quietly rotating.

He muttered solemnly to himself: [The anomalies in our universe... are really getting bigger and bigger.]

[The Creation Ruins may not have time to care about the Chen Dao Dragon.]

On the other side of space-time.

A faint platinum soul light was rapidly shuttling through the subspace.

The thin soul light scattered in spots, merging into the void. Although it didn't leave any traces, it was enough to prove that this soul light was severely damaged.

Obviously, the Chen Dao Dragon Daughter hadn't expected one thing - the Devil Zhuzhou's secret method was indeed surprisingly powerful, actually shattering the divine bodies of seven Mechanical Gods in one breath. Even if the other party could be resurrected in the 'Source Creation Pool,' they would be greatly injured and unable to recover to their prime for thousands of years.

But, such a powerful secret method, for other creatures who were not Devil souls, even the equally powerful Mechanical Gods, the aftereffects were really too great.

"Terrible... This won't do... If this goes on... I won't be able to find a suitable possessor... and I'll dissipate..."

The Chen Dao Dragon Daughter's spirit was about to collapse. His thoughts were a bit fragmented: "But this feeling... is really not bad!"

"Next time I meet that Devil, I really have to... thank him!"

His voice was gnashing his teeth.

In fact, this was indeed the Devil Zhuzhou's fault.

After all, as a Devil from a Great World that was round above and square below, no matter what, it was impossible for Him to casually cross the void for hundreds of thousands of light-years, not to mention that He spent most of His time wandering in the human world.

But for the Chen Dao Dragon of the great starry universe, starting from the large nebula area, wanting to encounter a wise life form might require traveling for thousands of light-years, and even then, it might not be there!

Who would come to the nebula area in their right mind? There weren't many resources, and there wasn't much civilization. It was as boring as it could be.

In short, the former could find a suitable host in a few seconds even if there were aftereffects, while the latter... the latter was the awkward situation that the Chen Dao Dragon Daughter was in now.

This was the difference brought about by different worlds and different experiences.

However, fortunately, in the Sky Light Realm, there were always a group of not-so-serious explorers.

The Chen Dao Dragon Daughter sensed that there was a spaceship rapidly traveling around the nebula area in the surrounding universe space, and the members of the spaceship were full of vitality, young and energetic, and carried a kind of incomparably mysterious aura.

This was the last chance for the Dragon Daughter's essence soul, which was about to lose its self-awareness.

Therefore, without any hesitation, He immediately changed course and rapidly approached the spaceship.

……

Earth Universe.

Su Zhou opened his eyes.

"Interesting."

In the Minister's office of the New World Exploration Department in Nanling, amid Shao Qiming's surprised expression, Su Zhou, who had seemed to be resting with his eyes closed, stood up and paced back and forth in front of the table with a thoughtful look: "The myriad worlds, the Zhuzhou are indeed diverse... but it's the first time I've found a 'Zhuzhou' information transmitter in a world of the 'Primordial World' level."

"Although it presents a female-leaning form, the Zhuzhou are ever-changing. Even Slime Zhuzhou exist, so gender is not important."

He narrowed his eyes, raised his head, and looked out the window of the office: "And... this is really interesting."

"'Creation Ruins'? 'Burial Ground of All Things'? The Ten Divine Systems? The Four Forbidden Zones? Aren't these just the affiliated organizations of many structured Great Existences?"

"The Primordial World of [Creation] seems to have integrated the powers of all known Great Existences other than the Twin Divine Trees into it... Moreover, the 'Gate of Final Radiance' actually directly connects to the Primordial World? Although it's just an affiliated small universe, it's not much different."

Thinking of this, Su Zhou couldn't help but smile. He said softly, "Yala, what do you think?"
