Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 19 A World Prospering Because of You (1w1, Large Chapter)
Since the Earth United Fleet members returned from the Jupiter port and underwent a period of quarantine and physical testing before arriving on Earth, these battle-hardened soldiers received a hero's welcome.
The first human fleet of the new era to leave the solar system; the first fleet to fight in an alien star system and defeat immortal-god-level powerhouses; the first fleet to travel to the edge of the galaxy and defeat a fleet tens of thousands of times its size; the first fleet to defeat a direct attack from the Nihilism Order, the first...
Too many firsts, too many things exceeding convention, too many things beyond imagination.
Without a doubt, the experiences of the Earth United Fleet completely boosted the confidence of most Earthlings, which had been lowered by the knowledge of the vastness of the universe and the strength and number of extraterrestrial civilizations.
—Look, the immensely powerful Nihilism Order couldn't defeat us, but was instead defeated by us! How many aliens have failed to do this from birth to destruction?
We Earthlings are so awesome!.jpg
As a result, most Earthlings were excited to learn that the members of this legendary fleet (although the fleet had long been eaten by Zhuzhou, they were, strictly speaking, Death Star pilots) had returned, and they spontaneously began to bless and celebrate them globally.
In fact, Earth desperately needed such a propaganda group to disseminate information about aliens and the current situation of the galaxy to various parts of the world.
Although the Galactic Network has been linked to the world, the United International Organizations do not allow private links to the Galactic Network unless relevant permissions have been obtained and personal strength is sufficient. After all, there is too much dangerous information on it, and it is easy to cause chaos and crisis if known.
However, publicly popularizing common sense about the galaxy is also an imminent task.
Therefore, this kind of popular science in the form of interviews is very necessary for the current Earth civilization.
"Actually, we really didn't do anything..."
"Yes, I just did some trivial work..."
"Most of the time, I was just assisting, not as exaggerated as everyone thinks."
"The credit belongs to everyone, I am just an insignificant screw."
However, it was different from what most people imagined.
All members of the United Fleet behaved very humbly and cautiously when accepting interviews with major media outlets, even to the point where the media was quite puzzled.
—As everyone knows, most of the time, no one believes the truth.
In publicity, this kind of 'excessive modesty' is an advantage, proving that all members are not proud and complacent because of their achievements, are full of endless desire to struggle, and are never satisfied with the current achievements!
Fleet members: Is that so?
In short.
For ordinary Earth residents, the nearly half a month after the return of the fleet members was almost a carnival, a continuous period of information bombardment. Various countries held various celebrations for the triumphant return of the United Fleet, conducted various interviews with fleet members, and invited them to participate in talk shows, guest interviews, and so on.
Even the most inconspicuous fleet members in the past are now sought-after celebrities.
But even such fervent enthusiasm could not conceal a fact.
That is, Su Zhou himself, the real main force of this United Fleet, seemed to be hiding and disappeared.
[Su Zhou Support Group 014]: [Strange, where did Marshal Su go? Why is there no relevant news at all?]
[Tianhan Mountain Color]: [It's not that there's no news, isn't it? Minister Su attended a joint press conference with more than a hundred alien civilizations a few days ago? Maybe he's still negotiating with other civilizations in the galaxy.]
[Pure Passerby]: [A guess, was Su Zhou severely injured in the battle with the Nihilism Order and is now recuperating?]
[Objectively Speaking]: [Hope Su Zhou is okay.jpg]
[Ask Him If He Knows]: [According to insider information, Su Zhou is in very good condition now. He just doesn't want to steal the limelight from others and is biding his time.]
Exchanges and speculations on the Internet have been ongoing.
But... biding his time?
Although 'Ask Him If He Knows' is a classic insider, who can often reveal some real news about Su Zhou in advance, this term is really too different from the young man who used to be enthusiastic about standing in the front, showing his will and thoughts.
You know, Su Zhou can be a synonym for 'outspoken' and 'speaking his mind'!
Therefore, many comments questioned this comment, and even directly removed 'Ask Him If He Knows' from the ranks of Su Zhou's fans and insiders.
In response, the user with the account [Ask Him If He Knows] simply answered one sentence.
[Even Su Zhou's mode of action will be updated with the version.]
This statement is indeed correct.
Rather, it is precisely because it is Su Zhou that he will update the version.
Since meeting Yala, the young man's mode of action has changed many times and grown many times.
And this time, for Earth humans, the two years he disappeared was really like three autumns, and it is normal to not be able to accept it for a while.
[Is it possible that Su Zhou is going to join the Thirty-Six Saints Committee?]
Someone speculated: [After all, according to Su Zhou's current achievements, becoming a Saint is simply a certainty. If he is busy with this recently, it is not surprising that he disappeared—but I think he may not want to become a Saint, after all, this means he will lose his current status as a nearly free man.]
Immediately, a rebuttal appeared under this comment: [How could he refuse? Being a Saint is not a mandatory position. It is essentially just a related field scholar and professor. Su Zhou is indeed the number one on Earth in terms of cultivation. What's wrong with just hanging a title?]
[What? You understand Su Zhou again?]
[More than you!]
Soon, such speculation fell into the daily ending of Su Zhou's comment area: the two sides fought to the end of the forum, and the news was wiped out.
And all this online chaos was interrupted by a suddenly inserted news broadcast.
[Su Zhou Live]: [Assisting the Huoxi People to Return to Their Hometown]
Suddenly, all the disputes ended—no matter who they were, what their attitude towards Su Zhou was, and what kind of opinions and expectations they held.
Now they are all staying in front of the screen, waiting for what will happen next.
Soon, the spinning black screen lit up.
Appearing in the window was a lush green planet.
Some time ago, Su Zhou himself was also on the Internet, watching netizens' speculations about his actions.
For Su Zhou himself, the answer to whether he was willing to be a Saint was actually quite tangled.
"Saint..." he muttered to himself, and couldn't help but sigh.
As a Zheng Nation person who grew up listening to the great achievements of the past Saints, he would not be unwilling.
However, the young man had a strange worry that prevented him from immediately agreeing to Li Sheng's proposal, and instead put the topic aside for the time being.
"Let's deal with the Huoxi people first."
At that time, he said so, and ended the meeting in Li Sheng's somewhat regrettable gaze.
Then, the young man began to go to the New World Exploration Department to check which suitable worlds on Earth are currently available to prepare for the Huoxi people's immigration and settlement.
In the personal space, 6.5 billion Huoxi people are being awakened by the Wisdom Tree batch by batch. Their souls return from the Underworld server and wake up from the crystal coffins.
The first batch of people to wake up were the leaders and managers of the Huoxi people. They gathered uneasily in the security bureau of the North Continent of the personal space, and watched in horror as the Wisdom Tree drew branches from their compatriots one by one: to be honest, this scene was very terrifying, grotesque, and even a bit heavy, so it's no wonder that these battle-hardened managers felt scared.
Of course, no matter how gloomy and terrifying the North Continent is, filled with all kinds of plants that look like they came out of horror movies, it is always safer than staying under a star about to explode.
"Lord Su Zhou!" "Your Excellency Su Zhou..."
Su Zhou's arrival immediately alarmed the Huoxi leadership team headed by Xiang De. They stood up and respectfully paid a great salute to the young man: after returning to their own bodies, they realized that, under the care of the Wisdom Tree, their bodies, except for some lack of exercise, had many chronic diseases and illnesses cured by the Divine Wood.
Now all the Huoxi people are in the healthiest state, as if they have a second life. The good impact this has on opening up a new homeland in the future is immeasurable!
"No need for formalities. I'm here mainly to ask you if you can accept building a civilization from scratch."
Su Zhou stopped the group of Huoxi people who wanted to kneel down to him, and then turned to look at Xiang De. His expression was serious: "The Earth civilization will provide you with the necessary materials for the initial stage of development, and will provide a batch of resource assistance every once in a while, but we are not, and cannot be nannies. The Huoxi people can only rely on themselves to rebuild their homes."
"As long as it is a world suitable for human habitation, not too harsh, and has a food source." Xiang De said firmly: "Then, the Huoxi people can be completely self-sufficient: we have the relevant technical background. When the sun seemed to be extinguished, we prepared everything to survive in extreme conditions."
Then, his tone became cautious. Xiang De looked at Su Zhou somewhat cautiously, and tentatively asked: "Of course, Your Excellency, can you... not resurrect all the Huoxi people in one go? Can you split it up a little more and start with the technicians first?"
"Of course." Su Zhou nodded in agreement.
Everything was planned properly, and that's how it started.
For the 450,000 Huoxi people with the highest basic qualities and comprehensive abilities who were awakened earliest, everything was as gorgeous as a dream.
When they broke away from the almost realistic electronic space and returned to reality, they saw the Blood Divine Wood that seemed to be rooted in hundreds of millions of living beings, and the North Continent of the personal space that was like the Netherworld.
And after they, who were still in shock, figured out what was going on, a huge crack tens of thousands of meters long and more than four thousand meters wide suddenly opened in the mid-air of the personal space!
Below this crack was the lush green surface of a planet.
The live broadcast began.
Lishan Realm.
A near-Earth time-space realm that has been discovered for more than a year and has been fully confirmed to have an ecological environment after exploration. It used to be a spiritual medicine plantation under the command of immortals and gods, but it was abandoned and stopped developing 130,000 years ago, becoming a free ecological planet.
This is the product of the large-scale development of the Earth's time-space realm in the past two years. In order to search for the time-space realm where the 'Celestial God Scale' first fell, major global forces used various means to encourage exploration, and the result was the discovery of many ancient time-space realms that were originally thought to have disappeared, causing the space distortion on Earth to double.
Most of the results of these discoveries are attributed to the explorers of the Pioneer Space. These guys with exploration missions are truly fearless. They dare to go anywhere, can overcome any difficulties, and will not retreat in the slightest even if there is a risk of death.
It has to be said that as long as they don't cause trouble, the kindred of the Pioneer are truly the vanguard of civilization development, worthy of their name, and are the best 'pioneers'.
It can be seen that there are still many relics and magic circles left by immortals and gods on Lishan Star, which are used to control the planet's celestial phenomena.
This planet is very fertile, but so far it has not been developed in any way.
After all, compared to various time-space realms with unique resources, Lishan Realm, which has no characteristics and is only easy to settle in, has not yet caught the eye of Earth civilization.
In that case, it can be used to settle a part of the Huoxi people.
In the orbit of the planet, the space-time rift opened, and the huge Death Star transformed into a dragon wearing hard armor in the splendid spiritual light.
The dragon's gaze distorted the world. A semi-transparent 'cloud and mist path' condensed above the space-time rift and the earth. Seemingly fragile water molecules condensed into a thin but indestructible layer of ice under the effect of spiritual power, forming a 'transparent slide' that was as long as 200,000 meters.
Then, the dragon exhaled—a cyan divine wind rose sharply. An ancient forest on the surface of Lishan Star seemed to be lifted up by an invisible big hand, moving its position under the blowing of the strong wind, along with the canyons, hills, and a small mountain where they grew, all flying to another soil suitable for their survival.
And what was left in place was a flat piece of land.
Truly flat, without even a slight difference in altitude.
This scene even shocked the Earthlings.
[Just exhaling such a breath can move mountains and seas?!]
[It's harder than moving mountains and seas. Su Zhou is precisely lifting an entire piece of land and placing it in another area without damaging any plants!]
[In, incredible!]
The slide fell and touched the ground.
Immediately afterwards, a large amount of basic materials slid down this slide towards the 'homeland point' that Su Zhou had already selected.
Most of these basic materials are tools, food, high-strength wooden boards, metal plates, and fast-growing crop seeds, which can help the first batch of Huoxi people quickly establish a survival zone and allow them to enter a virtuous cycle that can be self-sustaining.
Xiang De stared blankly at this scene. He was the first batch of Huoxi people sent down by Su Zhou along with the basic materials. He was still a little incredible after arriving on Lishan Star, not because the place was bad, but because it was too good.
How long... How long has it been since the Huoxi people saw green plants after the Huoxi sun erupted?
How long has it been since they saw a harmonious sun, and smelled a fresh and soft wind?
Light, water, mountains, forests, flowing rivers, tumbling clouds, and gentle and warm, non-agitated starlight...
Although in the Underworld server, all the Huoxi people had done countless preparations for building colonies, Xiang De was still stunned when he really arrived in reality.
"Such a beautiful world..." He even lowered his head with some trembling: "Really, can we live here?"
"Of course, there's no one else coming."
In response, Su Zhou just said lightly: "The beautiful world in your eyes is controlled by Zheng Nation alone, and there are more than two hundred of them. Lishan Realm is still relatively barren, and the most valuable spiritual plants and divine wood have been harvested and taken away."
"And with my strength, if I want to rebuild an ecosystem from scratch and build one that is similar to Lishan Star, it will only take seven or eight years—if I'm serious, I can create a complete small ecosystem in three days, from viruses to Kunpeng, a whole set."
"I will provide you with some basic industrial equipment and the resource distribution of this planet, and now, I will send the other Huoxi people down together."
Su Zhou's voice faded, and Xiang De raised his head.
At this moment, Lishan Star was just beginning to glow with morning light, and a golden-red glow had just lit up on the horizon.
Many other Huoxi people, like Xiang De, landed on the ground with the supplies and waited silently.
The sun rose.
Also flashing with it was the space rift suspended in the planet's orbit.
Even on the surface, the shadow of the divine dragon could be seen clearly. He coiled outside the atmosphere, stretched out his long tail, and held up a giant crystal body made up of millions of overlapping crystal coffins.
In addition, there were various heavy industrial equipment that Earth assisted the Huoxi people with, spiritual energy minecarts for mining, road-laying vehicles for digging, etc... These materials could only be seen as hazy shadows in the mid-air, but soon, they fell towards the planet in a burst of fire!
Xiang De stared at this scene: a scene like the creation of the world in mythology, with gods bestowing blessings from the sky.
Surrounded by dazzling flames, the coffins and life support equipment where millions of Huoxi people slept landed on the ground. With the assistance of Da Zhou Tianlan, the landing was as smooth and gentle as a feather floating to the ground.
The roots connecting all the crystal coffins took root on the surface of Lishan Star at the first moment. The power of the Divine Wood spread and fixed, and within a short ten minutes, it completely stabilized its form and grew into a Zhuzhou giant tree hundreds of meters high and lush.
Along with it was a metal module containing all the engineering miracles—these giant metal blocks with a perimeter of more than 100 meters began to unfold like automatic factories after falling to the ground, taking root and stabilizing the foundation. Soon, it turned from a square iron block into a 'basic construction template' (stC) standing on the side of the Divine Wood at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The 'Basic Construction Template' is a guidance system newly developed by Earth humans for developing alien worlds. It can provide any colonists with details of tools, vehicles, and buildings in any aspect. Even people who know nothing about engineering and machinery can directly build a basic colonial circle that can accommodate millions of people and has the most basic energy, transportation, food, and housing functions, as long as they strictly follow the requirements of the Basic Construction Template to collect relevant materials.
For today's Earthlings, this is just a basic material that must be carried for a large-scale alien exploration—in the live broadcast, many people laughed, because the exploration team they participated in had used this thing, and it was no longer new.
But for the Huoxi people, it is equivalent to unimaginable advanced technology, almost the blessing of immortals and gods.
Su Zhou very much agrees with the design concept of the basic construction template. Without a doubt, this modular, convenient, and multi-functional design is very much in line with the thinking of Zhuzhou.
In fact, he has already 'borrowed' the basic construction template into his Zhuzhou body.
But for Xiang De and other Huoxi people, all of this is a brand new beginning.
Most of the millions of Huoxi people who are about to be resurrected on Lishan Star are professionals who can operate various industrial equipment and carry out development and construction at the fastest speed, create large settlements and villages, and start planting and raising crops, so that the settlements can maintain themselves.
And when they have a surplus of materials and can maintain and expand themselves, Zhuzhou Wood will continue to awaken the remaining Huoxi people until the number of people in this gathering point exceeds 30 million.
This process may take more than ten years, and if the development goes smoothly, it will end in four or five years.
On Lishan Star alone, Su Zhou will release more than fifty such gathering points. A total of 1.5 billion Huoxi people will develop this ecological planet located at the end of the Earth's development planning list, and in a few years, they will become a huge development front and a huge dumping market. Before the Huoxi people re-establish their complete industrial system, Earth can profit a lot simply by relying on assisting and acquiring the Huoxi Star's products.
And as a price, the Huoxi people can obtain a brand new planet, a home without any hidden dangers where they can live safely.
In fact, not just one.
Because Su Zhou will put the Huoxi people in six different worlds.
After ending the migration of Lishan Star, the young man immediately turned around and went to the next world.
Nanming Realm, full of giant island oceans; Xuan Shui Realm, where there are bones of ancient demon gods everywhere, and the entire continent seems to be the carapace left by an ancestor of the Xuanwu demon clan; Yan Rong Realm, which looks full of volcanoes and deserts, but the coastal area is exceptionally fertile...
Each world is carefully selected, different, but with its own advantages of the ecological star.
Although not every planet and world can be called perfect: for example, in an 'island world' [Fuyao Realm] without a continent, where the entire world is suspended in the air and maintained by spiritual energy and strong winds, Su Zhou originally planned to place a batch of Huoxi people on more than 30 large floating islands respectively.
But who knew that he happened to encounter the 'spiritual energy updraft' in the Fuyao Realm, which is rumored to allow Kunpeng to soar high into the sky, directly to 90,000 miles.
This is essentially the exchange of spiritual energy flow up and down throughout the island world, resulting in up and down strong winds, known as the 'upwind season' and the 'downwind season'. The former is warm and dry, and the latter is humid and rainy, which is part of the natural ecology.
However, for colonial actions, the upwind season can easily cause materials to be blown away, and many smaller islands will shake in the strong wind. Although it will not have any impact on the life surviving above, the slight tremors can easily cause engineering errors.
In response, Su Zhou will personally take action to make them perfect.
Above the world, the huge dragon stretched out its long tail. He extended his tail, like a staircase lowered from the high sky, and like a rope falling from the clouds, spreading towards many island worlds.
Then, 'wrap' a small island in his arms!
Boom!
In the ears of all the Huoxi people and all the Earthlings watching the live broadcast, a loud roar sounded the moment the island was wrapped by the dragon. The hurricane of the entire Fuyao Realm shook, and the shock wave that was enough to smooth out all the creations on the mainland vibrated.
But all of this did not affect everything on the island... However, after the giant dragon loosened his tail, the original small islands were no longer loose... but gathered together and became large islands that could float steadily in the upwind season!
[Oh my god...]
[It can still be like this, can it be solidified together so easily?!]
[Su Zhou brand glue (physical)]
Not only that.
In the eyes of the local Huoxi people with awe and reverence, the dragon also took off a piece of his own scales.
The scales were cyan in color. After being thrown into the mid-air, they lit up almost endless cyan light spots. The light spots absorbed the abundant spiritual power in the atmosphere, and then began to roll up bursts of almost substantial strong winds, eventually condensing into a wind tower, located in the very center of the central island of the Fuyao world.
Then, a circle of wind rings gradually spread in all directions, stabilizing the wind direction of the entire world and helping them to live normally before the Huoxi people develop.
Six worlds, six ecologies, are different from each other.
This is a kind of differentiation, avoiding the Huoxi people gathering together, still maintaining their way of life, unable to integrate into Earth civilization, and also making the Huoxi people who will land in different regions in the future have a sense of 'different hometowns', confusing the inconsistency between the Huoxi people and the Earthlings.
Similarly, this is also a kind of care.
After all, with the current technology of the Huoxi people, a too large population will slow down the recovery speed, and the materials produced in the colonies cannot fully supply so many people.
Su Zhou held up the entire world and 6.5 billion Huoxi people. The dragon-shaped Su Zhou passed through one space-time gate after another, traveling back and forth in six worlds, and determined that the Huoxi people in each gathering point had begun to build early camps enthusiastically, rebuilding their new homes.
At the same time, the Earth fleet also came over. They will replace Su Zhou, assist the Huoxi people in solving some troubles they cannot solve, and supplement some equipment that Su Zhou may not have completely transported over.
Ah, perhaps, it shouldn't be called Huoxi people anymore.
Because they have returned to their hometown...
They are also Earthlings.
And these six worlds are the outposts of Earth civilization to open up the time-space frontier.
The process of Su Zhou assisting the Huoxi people in migration did not exceed 20 hours in total, even if the time for leveling the world and the surface of the planet and helping Fuyao Realm integrate the islands was included, it did not exceed one day.
[Oh my god... is this true body too big?]
[With this strength, doesn't it mean that as long as Su Zhou attacks seriously, the entire Earth civilization will not survive for two minutes?]
[That's not the case. Now we also have high-strength shelters, and major forces also have Fuguofa formations to protect them. Even the attack of a Heavenly Immortal is not enough to destroy a big city immediately.]
[But Su Zhou looks like... not like an ordinary Heavenly Immortal!]
This is to marvel at Su Zhou's strength in the process of assisting migration, showing that he can easily change the structure of the surface and create a 'strongman's topography'.
Of course, there are also sharp-eyed people who noticed that behind the world rift opened by Su Zhou is a complete and thriving small world, but unfortunately there are too few shots to analyze anything.
Even not just the Earth network.
Su Zhou's live broadcast is also unfolding in the Galactic Network.
The young man's name has long been known in the galaxy, especially his achievements in killing and defeating two Nihilism Order Annihilation Envoys in succession, which made all civilizations and all strongmen have to admit his power.
The strong naturally radiate light. When Su Zhou starts a live broadcast in his name, it is only natural that many civilizations know and immediately enter to watch.
[Earth civilization can actually colonize six planets at the same time?!]
[Amazing... Earth civilization's background is indeed profound. Not only does it have high-end combat power close to the Ω level spiritualist, but its technology is also not to be underestimated.]
[Worthy of being a civilization that came out of the Black Domain Forbidden Zone. Even if it was severely damaged by the Silent Era, it can now restore its glory.]
[I understand the truth, why is he so big? Is he an Aether Dragon?]
[Shhh, didn't you see just now? There are nine Aether Dragons behind that space-time rift...]
[Huh? That fat thing is an Aether Dragon? How did you see that?!]
Because all extreme ideas are not allowed to enter the Galactic Network, and most of the people who can enter the Galactic Network are strongmen and researchers from various civilizations that meet certain standards, so the discussion atmosphere on the Galactic Network is even better than on the Earth network.
For Earth civilization, other civilizations in the galaxy suddenly have a relatively vague but powerful impression.
Without a doubt, from then on, Earth civilization will no longer be unknown, but will appear as a newly emerging large developed civilization in the training materials of diplomats from various civilizations.
But the same.
Because there are too many visitors, even some existences that should not have known have seen Su Zhou's actions.
The AI civilization under the Nihilism Order lurks in the network and transmits a lot of information about Earth.
The undercurrent is surging, but the surface is still calm.
And another part of netizens finally understand why Su Zhou did not participate in those interviews and press conferences.
There is no need.
In essence, interviews and press conferences are the interviewer and the presser wanting others to know and understand the information they want to tell—therefore, they need the media as a medium to speak for themselves and spread it.
However, when strength reaches Su Zhou's level, it is not that he wants to spread any information.
But other existences must take the initiative to understand his information.
Like a natural disaster, like a star, like a storm in the universe.
These too powerful existences do not need to tell civilizations their actions and how they operate, because civilizations will come to explore his thoughts, study the laws of the other party, and understand their information and details.
Su Zhou himself didn't think so much. He was just really a little troubled, so he didn't want to appear in front of the public.
After ending most of the work of assisting the Huoxi people in colonization and clearing the Blood Divine Wood and Huoxi Crystal Coffins in his personal space, the young man breathed a sigh of relief and couldn't help but fall into contemplation again.
Earth and the alien world are different.
Yes, he has saved the world several times in the alien world, breaking the reincarnation, introducing the history that fell into endless rebirth into a new future, and killing the king who was about to destroy the world in the fire of karma.
But that is an alien world. Su Zhou only needs to solve the problem, and he can let go of the following things and hand it over to the locals to decide their own destiny.
But Earth can't.
Earth is Su Zhou's hometown. He has changed it, so he can't sit idly by. He has solved the problem, so he can't let go and let the Earthlings decide their own destiny at will.
Not for anything, because he is also a member of the Earthlings—he is also a human.
His decision is also the Earthlings' decision of their own destiny.
When it comes to things related to themselves, humans are always troubled.
Su Zhou never wanted to rule or manage a group of people. He just wanted to solve the problems that civilization might encounter, help people who encounter difficulties, and let them move forward on their own.
Even alien worlds are like this, let alone Earth?
When Su Zhou was a child, he looked forward to becoming a Saint, because it was really cool, just like children always wanting to be scientists, soldiers, and policemen. The children of Zheng Nation grew up listening to the name of the Thirty-Six Saints Committee, how could they not look forward to it?
Especially, after becoming a Saint, he can change the world and change all kinds of injustices in the world...
But.
"I can store a civilization, a civilization with a population close to the entire Earth, in my own world, and then transfer it from one world to six different worlds."
Su Zhou whispered in his heart: "I can already change the world, do I really need to become a Saint?"
This is not being pretentious.
The Thirty-Six Saints have their own responsibilities, which is to make Zheng Nation prosperous and strong and its heritage continue.
Su Zhou believes that he can do this, and he has always done so—but just like turning a hobby into a job, he still feels a little subtle for a while.
And... some sense of loss of reality.
Su Zhou understands that Li Sheng wants to retire, and he happens to have such prestige. He hopes that he can inherit his position. This is the expectation of any old man for his younger generation.
But the young man's body is now hanging outside the outer space, and he himself will inevitably continue to shuttle through many universes and wander between the stars in the future.
What is left on Earth is nothing more than an empty shell, a human figure with a title.
What is the difference between being such a Saint and not being one? It only adds trouble and occupies the position of others.
"Qiming, what do you say, what should I do?"
Confused by this, Su Zhou sighed and could only ask his best friend: "Do I need to agree to Li Sheng and take over his Saint seat?"
At the other end of the communication, there was silence for a while.
After a while, Shao Qiming's calm and gentle voice slowly sounded: "A'Zhou, I think you may have misunderstood one thing."
"Being a Saint is not just a seat, it is a job and responsibility, nor is it just a kind of glory and power."
"Being a Saint... is a road sign that leads the way."
He understands Su Zhou better than anyone else and is clear about Su Zhou's troubles. At the other end of time and space, the friend warmly put forward his own views: "The Thirty-Six Saints have not always been open to large families and sects. As long as the conditions are met, even ordinary people—like Wen Sheng, people with rotten talents and slow cultivation speed—can become a Saint and become the first Saint."
"A'Zhou... I understand your troubles. You already have the reality of a Saint, so you don't care about this vain name, but want to give it to someone who needs it more."
"But in my opinion, no one on Earth needs this seat more than you."
Su Zhou listened quietly.
Most of the time, he has his own ideas and his own opinions on many things. In many cases, he does not need others to explain and analyze for him, and he can get the correct answer himself.
But in terms of Earth, he has indeed been away for too long.
So he humbly listened to his friend's admonition.
"Why?" Regarding Shao Qiming's answer, the young man asked doubtfully: "What do I need the position of Saint for?"
He no longer needs many things, and even in the void, he can survive alone with his own power. If the world is destroyed, he can also exist forever.
And Shao Qiming directly said: "Proof."
"Prove that the strong, even the strongest on Earth, even stronger than everyone else on Earth combined, are also a member of the civilization nurtured."
"Prove that you and I are all members of Zheng Nation and Earth civilization, so that those proud and complacent 'new immortals and gods' who think they can transcend the mortal world know that there is a 'Celestial Venerable' above their heads, and there is a practitioner who holds strength tens of thousands of times greater than them, still maintaining order."
"Su Zhou, you are a road sign, proving that 'humans' can reach you who are also 'humans', can reach where you are now—just like great existences, like their dependents and clans, it is a mark that determines 'correctness', an eternal 'proof'!"
This voice, although calm, was deafening to the young man.
"...I see." Su Zhou opened his eyes. He sighed, but the confused heart was relieved: "Yes, I really... need it."
He suddenly realized that his previous thinking was actually a bit biased towards 'isolation' and 'watching'.
In this world, there are many people who like to take practitioners out alone and compare them with civilization, arguing that a powerful practitioner can easily destroy a modern technological civilization.
This statement is indeed correct. Under certain conditions, a practitioner who has reached the Earth Immortal realm can indeed completely destroy the foundation of modern civilization. As long as they are not hit by those super weapons, they can ignore all threats on Earth.
However, the fact is not the case.
Because civilization is created by the combination of people.
And national cultivation creates a transcendent world where all humans are practitioners.
Powerful practitioners, independent of civilization? Powerful practitioners, can easily destroy cities?
This is a non-existent assumption.
Because there are more practitioners standing on the side of civilization composed of collectives, building solid cities that ordinary practitioners cannot destroy.
The Earth civilization that has developed step by step has gradually gotten on the right track. The benefits of national cultivation are not just making more practitioners. It fundamentally changes the survival logic of a civilization and changes the way of thinking of a civilization.
——Opposition between immortals and mortals?
——The theory of life span?
——Separation between life and death?
——Accidental death?
