Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 27 Great Existence [Creation] (6666)
A period of time has passed since Su Zhou advanced to the Heavenly Venerable Realm.
Although the birth of the first Heavenly Venerable since the Silent Era of the Sealed Universe was a major event for all cosmic civilizations. Not to mention the Milky Way, even civilizations in other galaxy clusters had learned of this news through the Cosmos Network AI, setting off waves of disbelief and doubt, with some even claiming it was a rumor.
But all these criticisms, discussions, debunkings, and counter-debunkings had nothing to do with Su Zhou.
If a Heavenly Immortal could still be interfered with by external circumstances, not taken seriously by other civilizations with deep foundations, or even ignored.
Then an Ω-level Heavenly Venerable was a completely different concept.
That meant, if you were to become enemies with him, and couldn't find the source of his Great Dao inheritance, you would have to face an enemy who would be your enemy until the end of the universe.
And it wasn't just because of awe.
It was also because of 'gratitude'.
The power of an Ω-level psionicist was engraved in the spacetime of the universe. Anyone with enough opportunity could comprehend this inheritance—if this Ω-level Venerable Lord was open-minded, then all races and lifeforms could follow his Dao.
This was a grace for all life, the reason for the respect of all things in heaven and earth.
And Su Zhou was naturally open-minded, so for some time, there had been a continuous stream of gifts and 'visiting cards' sent in the name of 'congratulations' from the Milky Way and even civilizations outside the Milky Way.
However, in order not to disturb Su Zhou, these 'gifts' had been sent to an ordinary planetary system thirty-two light-years away from the solar system, and their number was so large that they could form a small asteroid.
To be honest, Su Zhou didn't expect much.
Just like some time ago, he received a great gift from a plasma life civilization, said to be the most precious treasure of this civilization. Because Su Zhou had previously sealed the great enemy of this civilization, the End Ten Faces, it was offered as a congratulatory gift when he became a Heavenly Venerable.
But what was that great gift in reality?
The answer was ice!
'Unmelting ice' solidified with special psionic energy that would never melt!
That plasma civilization living on a brown dwarf was a special kind of thermal energy life. Their cultivation would drastically increase their body temperature and energy fluctuations, and their molecular motion was very violent. Not to mention ice, any non-extraordinary metal would directly vaporize around them.
This would also lead to a reduction in their lifespan, just like a candle. The bigger the flame, the faster it burned. Only cultivation could barely extend their lives a little, but it was also a race against the burning lifespan.
Only when they cultivated to the point of returning to simplicity, could they restrain their thermal energy, even control it freely, return the energy of molecular motion, and freely combine hydrogen and oxygen in the gaseous star to condense into 'ice', could it be said that this cultivator's cultivation had reached great success, achieving 'immortality'.
'Ice' in their culture was the supreme 'sublime gift', symbolizing 'greatness', 'immortality', and 'sublimation'!
And this piece of ice was said to be a part of the 'indestructible substance' cast when an Ω-level psionicist from this civilization achieved enlightenment, making its symbolic meaning even greater.
—But in the final analysis, it was just a very large and hard piece of ice!
So, great gifts under different cultural backgrounds and different value systems should really be forgotten.
Of course, Su Zhou was very grateful for these gifts. He would put them all in his personal space for preservation and planned to write back to each one.
Mutual respect was also a part of civilization exchange.
At this time, the entire Earth was giving Su Zhou a 'peaceful' space to stabilize the realm of 'Heavenly Venerable'.
Although he didn't need this kind of free time, the young man didn't deliberately refuse it.
Unlike in the past, the Heavenly Venerable didn't need to appear in front of ordinary people frequently. The overly frequent appearance of a strong person would undoubtedly cause changes in the lives of ordinary people. If something went wrong, the bad influence on young people would be immeasurable.
Su Zhou set an example by restraining himself, which would also make all subsequent cultivators more cautious when achieving higher realms.
After all, even the 'Heavenly Venerable' did this, so what qualifications did you, a mere Human Immortal, Earth Immortal, or Heavenly Immortal, have to be arrogant and act recklessly?
This was also a kind of 'restraint' and 'rule' brought about by a pioneer.
Su Zhou's actions were actually a subtle warning to the more than one hundred Earth Immortals that existed on Earth now.
—Just be content to be a background board, after all, you won't break the rules if you don't act.
Because of this, the entire Earth had recently ushered in a period of peace, and Su Zhou could also enjoy a period of rare, harmonious life with his family and friends.
Every day he appreciated flowers, planted trees, took walks, and enjoyed the scenery, living like an old man who had been retired for fifteen years.
But how could Su Zhou really do nothing?
In fact, he had been preparing for those truly important things.
"Krosel's recent feedback shows that they have carried out in-depth cooperation with an explorer of the Pioneer Space. That explorer named 'Decimus' has considerable strength and exploration ability, and has also adventured in the Primordial World, the 'World of Creation', for a considerable period of time."
"And the World of Creation is also the Primordial World that I have been learning about more recently—or rather, this Primordial World is very happy to show itself, it is not self-enclosed, but very open."
"It is worth noting that Decimus's lover, another Pioneer explorer, was captured by the local 'Ten Heavenly Gods System' and is now being 'researched'… This is the first time I have encountered a case where a Pioneer explorer has been captured. The power of the Ten Heavenly Gods System is extraordinary."
Su Zhou's attention to the World of Creation had been going on for a long time.
Not to mention that his younger sister had adventured in the subordinate world of the World of Creation, the 'World of Heavenly Light', just the target of the Void Sect, the super-giant star 'Gate of Final Radiance' sealed with the 'Final Huan Town Seal', also had a part appearing in the World of Heavenly Light, connected to that world.
Although it was not directly connected to the Primordial World, the relationship between them was very close. Su Zhou was very sensitive in this regard. If he accidentally allowed the Void Sect to successfully seize the Final Huan Town Seal, the chain reaction that would be generated would likely be the connection between the Primordial World of 【Creation】 and the Sealed Universe, directly leading to the Great Existence 【Creation】 breaking free.
Then, the entire multiverse would become a mess.
Because of his past adventures and the preparations he made to rescue his lover, Decimus's understanding of the World of Creation was far better than other adventurers. Su Zhou had considered that if he were to go to the World of Creation, he would choose him as a teammate to enter the Pioneer Space, letting the other party take him there.
This could be considered a preparation to completely solve related problems.
In addition to this, Su Zhou also created an extra 【Multiverse Zhuzhou Mutual Aid System】.
Although it was only two words different from the 【Multiverse Zhuzhou System】 held by the Ant-Man Lich Ansonte, the reality was quite different.
This system, in essence, was based on Su Zhou's induction of his avatars after advancing to the Heavenly Venerable Realm. Based on the perfect 'Prajna Sutra', it connected an exchange group of many 'Zhuzhou'.
Generally speaking, if one wanted to hold a 'multiverse information interaction resonance', so that one's avatars would appear on a large scale in many worlds, one's strength would at least have to reach the high or even peak level of 'Returning to Void and United with the Dao', that is, at least have the power of the 'Pishi Phoenix' and 'Origin True Dragon' level in the Perfect World.
Only at that level could one spread rumors in the various worlds.
However, because Su Zhou had a covenant with Yala, his influence on the information of the multiverse spacetime was already very great when he was in the Human Immortal Realm.
Changes in games such as Dark Wolf, the Elemental Age, and the Ark of the Old Days were all the feedback of Su Zhou's adventures in the worlds to Earth.
When he reached the Earth Immortal Realm, Su Zhou could even cross worlds and hear other people's faith in him, or their perception of his path of reform.
Now that Su Zhou had become a Heavenly Venerable, this ability had been further improved.
He could directly connect with some Zhuzhou in the various worlds who resonated with him very highly, and conduct direct communication!
However, Su Zhou didn't intend to directly enter the field and communicate with them.
Instead, he built a mutual aid system, allowing these Zhuzhou to probe and communicate with each other, while he would lurk and observe.
Anyway, he was just using this to observe the situation in other worlds, and he didn't intend to get anything from them—if he could occasionally find some important information, it would be a big profit.
Just like now.
"Yala, the situation in the World of Creation is not right."
Standing by the window, Su Zhou seriously asked, "So many Great Existences have gathered their power, but there is no Twin God Tree… No matter how I think about it, this Primordial World is not quite the same as the ones I have encountered before."
"That can only show that your definition of normal is too rigid."
The Snake Spirit rebutted first, and then thought for a while, and said seriously, "But this time, it is indeed a bit abnormal."
Saying so, the scales on Yala's body began to light up with bursts of rainbow light. He pondered and said, "Yes, it's too strange. Creation and the Twin God Trees had a very good relationship, and could even be said to be an invisible trio."
"Why is it that in His Primordial World, there isn't even a trace of the Twin God Trees?"
This was also what Su Zhou found strange.
Not to mention other places, just take the Sealed Multiverse as an example. The Twin God Trees were the root of all things and the basis of existence. Their Dao of 'existence' and 'continuation' established the most basic morality and order of this multiverse.
Not to mention other things, the reason why Earth's Immortal God civilization developed into what it is today was inextricably linked to the continuation of the Great Dao Tree.
No universe world, including the Twilight World Group, could ever get rid of the influence of the Twin God Trees.
Even if it was weak, it was still there.
Su Zhou believed that even in the World of Creation, there must be God Trees.
However, the Ten Heavenly Gods System, the Four Forbidden Zones, almost encompassing the God System organizations of almost all Great Existences, but without the Twin God Trees?
Even a fool would know that something was wrong!
"There are several possibilities."
After thinking, Yala flicked his tail and solemnly replied, "The first possibility is that the power of the Twin God Trees is hidden relatively deeply. It has penetrated deep into the foundation of this world and is dormant. On the surface, it is impossible to see their specific tendencies—after all, as long as they exist, the Twin God Trees don't care what camp you are in. They may just be scattered in the major forces, acting as guest elders or foreign aid."
"The second possibility… maybe it's an attempt."
Yala didn't finish his words, behaving like an old riddler.
But Su Zhou raised his eyebrows. As a covenantor, he easily analyzed the meaning behind the 'riddle silence'.
The young man suddenly said, "Yes, an attempt… like separating the Great Dao Tree and the World Tree… shielding the power of 'existence' and 'continuation', and then carrying out subsequent deductions…"
"In a sense, this is also a kind of 'creation', creating a brand new logic and order?"
"Perhaps, without seeing it with my own eyes, even I cannot be sure."
The Snake Spirit nodded slightly, "But this kind of behavior is very much in line with the style of Creation."
【Creation】
If existence was the root of everything, and continuation was the initial change, then creation was directly based on existence and continuation, changing the initial 【correct】 into many 【corrects】.
"Creation, the Creator—the opener of everything, the creator of everything. If all things are rooted in the earth called existence and continuation, then creation is paving the way, designing flowers, plants, the sun, moon, and stars, the one who holds the initial authority."
Gently elaborating on the domain of this Great Existence, Yala fell into memories: "He is very ancient, probably second only to the Twin God Trees and Twilight, and He is also very powerful and gentle. Except for being angry at Twilight, I rarely see him angry."
Hearing this, not only did Su Zhou widen his eyes, but even Shao Qiming, who was listening in from the side, pricked up his ears slightly.
——Good fellow, he only gets angry occasionally when facing Chaos? That's a really good temper!
"Creation is always full of enthusiasm, and so are his dependents. They are full of enthusiasm for everything—as long as they want to create something, whether it is new or old, whether it is beautiful or ugly, whether it has appeared before or not, whether it will be useful in the future, as long as they want to expound 'the creative desire in their hearts', even if it is writing a novel, even if it is making a movie, even if it is just trying to create an ultimate cold joke."
"As long as they have such a heart, then the patronage of 【Creation】 will come."
"Although I may have said it many times…" Su Zhou couldn't help but mutter, "But you Great Existences only talk about the good aspects, and you don't look like you would be sealed?"
"Otherwise, how could it be correct." Yala sighed lightly, He clicked his tongue, lay on top of Su Zhou's head and flicked his tail and said, "But think carefully, if everyone creates blindly, immersed in their own world, their own desires, then what is the meaning of it? No communication, no interaction, no mutual communication, just blindly thinking and creating, what will happen to that world, what will the sentient beings living in that world encounter?"
"Just like a novel, an author entertains himself and is touched by himself. Even if he writes well, and the story in his heart is wonderful, even if he has read many people's books and has rich knowledge and background, if he cannot make others understand, then isn't this creation almost 'nothingness'?"
"Any correct has to face the questioning of 'nothingness', so any Great Existence is an enemy of Twilight."
Saying this, the Snake Spirit slowly closed his eyes. He said strangely, "The World of Creation, this Primordial World is not strange. Each God System has its own small universe, which is in line with the correctness of Creation from the basic principles."
"In this way, no matter whose dependents, even my dependents, how much they refute Him, it doesn't matter—because they are actually fulfilling the Dao of Creation."
At this moment, Yala didn't bother to hide from Su Zhou, he muttered to himself cautiously and suspiciously, "Could it be that Creation, this guy, wants to exclude the Twin God Trees…"
"Trying to take himself as the 'basis of all things'?"
"Replacing 'existence' and 'continuation' with 'creation'?"
This idea was a bit absurd, but thinking about it carefully, it may not be without reason.
However, Su Zhou didn't bother to think about this in detail.
Thinking? Of course thinking is useful!
Great Existences are all correct, no matter how you think, the answer is this.
No matter what Creation wants to do, for Him, for His dependents, for the sentient beings He loves, it is naturally correct.
The problem is that the point that really needs to be thought about, the thing that really deserves to be criticized, lies in 'better', how can it be better.
And it is meaningless to not witness it and feel it personally.
"Dragon of Inherited Dao…"
Su Zhou temporarily stopped thinking about this matter, and once again turned his attention to the current situation of the Dragon Girl of Inherited Dao.
As his information resonance body in the World of Creation, Su Zhou did not regard the Dragon of Inherited Dao as another 'self', or some kind of spacetime avatar.
Of course, the other party was indeed, according to any standard, the Zhuzhou appearing in other areas of the multiverse were all Su Zhou's spacetime avatars.
However, it could also not be.
As long as Su Zhou didn't admit it.
And Su Zhou would never admit that any other 'Zhuzhou', any existence in other time and space that was similar to him, was some kind of 'derivative' of himself.
In the multiverse, there were powerful existences, and just existing would cause information to spread.
Just like a huge mass body would distort spacetime and form a depression just by existing, a powerful existence would do nothing, and their information would spread in the multiverse like gravitational waves.
And the changes caused by these information, in addition to creating many dependents, would also create many lives similar to Him, with similar inheritance Dao and even bloodline will.
In the most ancient inheritance, if one wanted to obtain true 'immortality', one would need to connect with these other 'similar' existences that had been spread to the multiverse, and use these existences as their 'immortal foundation'.
In this way, unless the enemy of this powerful existence could erase all the information of this strong person, all similar individuals of Him in the multiverse, then He would be eternally immortal, even if He was destroyed, He would be resurrected from those similar existences!
This immortality based on information fluctuations was the source of the three immortalities of 'establishing merit, establishing virtue, and establishing words'. In terms of profundity, it was even better than the three immortalities.
You don't need to make unparalleled achievements and be remembered by the world; you don't need to spread inheritance widely and let later generations follow; you don't need to specify standard mechanisms and derive a way of thinking…
You just need to be strong enough to be immortal.
This was in a sense proving the Dao with force, and immortality with force.
However, this method eventually became extinct.
Why? The answer was simple.
Because of loneliness.
What's the use of just being strong enough?
You are strong? Are your enemies weak?
Don't be ridiculous! Proving the Dao with force is not a unique ability, it is a 'basic skill'! A 'characteristic' that naturally has when one is strong to that point!
The strong can spread endless information to the multiverse, and the strong can also eliminate endless information to the multiverse. It sounds troublesome to kill, but for strong people who have really reached this point, as long as they destroy the source, it is not difficult to directly kill many world avatars along the line of cause and effect.
Therefore, the seemingly troublesome, seemingly difficult, and seemingly harsh three immortal methods appeared.
Because, in this way, what needs to be dealt with to destroy immortality is not just a strong person and his many world avatars, but a group of strong people cultivated by this strong person, and the foundation of the entire inheritance mountain gate and sect!
Compared to the same level, more people are stronger than fewer people. You have the method of fighting more with one, and others also have the method of fighting one with more. You can twist one plus one to be greater than two, and others can also twist the mathematical rules back.
There are not so many twists and turns.
Su Zhou felt that this may also be the dilemma encountered by those monsters in the past during the war between the Great Existences and the monsters.
Weren't the 【monsters】 strong?
Not necessarily, to be honest, if the other party was really not strong, how could they fight for so long, until many newly emerged Great Existences appeared, and then the correct camp completely defeated the other party?
But they failed at this point.
At this moment, Su Zhou could sense the similarity between the Dragon of Inherited Dao and himself.
The other party was Zhuzhou, and also a similar persistent person. Her personality was also very similar to his, and her choice in the face of crisis was to directly go up and blow herself up. She had the demeanor of when he fought Yinglong in the Shenlong World, leaving his body to blow himself up, and his head flew away.
Although the other party was a natural Machine God that emerged from the Ruins of Creation, who said that mechanical creations cannot be Zhuzhou? How could Zhuzhou be such an inconvenient thing!
The Dragon Girl of Inherited Dao was the most standard Su Zhou spacetime avatar.
But Su Zhou would never admit this.
Not only her, but the rebels, demons, roc pigeons, trees, and dragons in the chat group, as well as other Zhuzhou who have not yet spoken, Su Zhou would not admit it.
"Because life belongs exclusively to life itself, I am Su Zhou, and only I am Su Zhou. My correctness and mistakes belong to me, and the future also needs to be opened up by myself—these avatars were born because of me, but they have different experiences and starting points. I can be their 'parents' or 'creators', they are my children and inheritors, but they are not me."
"They may encounter difficulties, and I will help. If I encounter difficulties, they will also help me. We have a natural connection and are the most intimate relationship, but if we regard another independent life as ourselves, it is not only arrogance, but a kind of 'sin'."
"Above and below, only 'I' am unique."
"'I' is unique, and no other thoughts are allowed to interfere… If it crosses the line, what is the difference from murder?"
Su Zhou's eyes were clear, he raised his hand and pointed towards the end of the endless void.
A stream of information containing some inheritance flowed from the Multiverse Zhuzhou System to the soul of the Dragon Girl of Inherited Dao, who was almost losing her self-awareness.
This was a gift, a reward for the other party helping him see the current situation of the 'World of Creation'.
This was his choice, his correctness.
However, at the same time, Su Zhou, who sensed the current situation of the Dragon Girl of Inherited Dao, couldn't help but let out a light "Huh".
"Hey, what a coincidence."
He wondered in a low voice, then turned around and loudly greeted Shao Qiming behind him: "Qiming, Qiming, our little sister has encountered something again!"
"Ah?"
Shao Qiming, who had been sitting next to him dealing with official business from the beginning and managing the group's affairs, couldn't help but be stunned.
He blinked and was rarely stunned for a moment before raising his eyebrows and saying, "Shuangyue… What happened to Shuangyue?"
"Is she causing trouble in the Pioneer Space again?"
"No, or rather, she hasn't had time to cause trouble yet, but I think it's coming soon."
At this moment, Su Zhou narrowed his eyes. His eyes were long and seemed to be able to see the end of the boundless void: "To be precise, it's not just Shuangyue."
He could see that the Dragon Girl of Inherited Dao at this moment had come to a space battleship around a nebula and possessed a fleet member who seemed ordinary.
And this fleet member, judging from the aura, was actually a subordinate of a Pioneer Space explorer force.
And Su Zhou was very familiar with this explorer's aura.
It was precisely the Ant-Man Lich, Ansonte, the explorer who had been attacked by the Myriad Manifestation Burial Ground, that is, the Machine God of the Twilight dependents, a few months ago, so Su Zhou gave him the 'Machine God Inheritance'!
And in this force, there was not only him… there were also the auras of Shao Shuangyue, Jiu Ming, and even Funiya!
It seemed that the Pioneer explorers related to Su Zhou had gathered here.
