Chapter 786 At Your Service (6400)

As the saying goes: Drawing a sword to cut water only makes it flow more.

When Su Zhou used the blade of his heart to slash at the fragment of the universe's will that had unknowingly taken root within Charnavaro's divine intent, countless water-like information clung to it, seeming to not only erode Kastalaro but also drag the youth into a vast ocean.

Endless illusions appeared and vanished, scattering like sparks from a bonfire.

For a moment, even a Heavenly Venerate couldn't help but feel disoriented.

In a daze, Su Zhou saw a vast cosmic shadow.

It was newly born, and within its countless stars, numerous lives were born with the destiny and psionic power of the unseen, developing civilizations under the guidance of the correct path, stepping into the starry sky, spreading the seeds of life, and creating all kinds of new civilizations and races.

[From the beginning of nothingness, grant life to the desolate time, grant civilization to the bewildered life, grant time to the turbulent civilization]

[This is the true meaning of creation]

And the strongest among these civilizations became the first gods.

These original gods swore that they would create ten thousand things, transforming their homeland into the most prosperous and beautiful heavenly kingdom, eternally unmoving, bestowing upon it the highest glory and praise.

He saw that among the various races created, many new gods also emerged. Like the old gods, they practiced creation, deduced the future, constructed the path of transcendence, and jointly forged a vast divine domain.

Although these gods had different races, different civilizations, and different paths, they believed that all paths would ultimately lead to the correct, so they could work together to strive for the happiness of all beings.

He saw that these gods eventually united, proclaiming that from this day forward, they were the [Circle of Creation]—they would create a perfect new world, granting the best future to the beings they loved.

The ten flames, ten Daos, and ten truths representing these gods even intertwined into a supreme 'fruit of correctness,' illuminating the sub-space and the real universe like the sun.

At that time, no matter which corner or secret realm of the World of Creation one was in, one could always see the bright ring by looking up, with ten brilliant gemstones on it, like a crown of the Great Path.

The Circle of Creation, formed because of 'love for all beings,' was the manifestation of this fruit.

A moment was ten million years.

Su Zhou could see that the Circle of Creation had reached its limit, mastering many mysteries and numerous supreme inheritances.

Although they had already built a psionic power network and created a world of great harmony, they were still not satisfied—these gods did not just want a heavenly kingdom on earth; they wanted to create a real world, a real universe, to prove their correctness and explore methods to transcend the universe and achieve the Great Tide.

Thus, many powerhouses joined forces, exploring numerous secret realms, seeking various exotic treasures, designing grand formations that defied imagination, or spending long periods of time twisting the universe itself.

Everything was to create a universe as a prototype for the real heavenly kingdom in the future.

They succeeded.

Whether by borrowing the origin of the universe, or twisting the world with massive black holes, or cutting space-time with great arrays, or expanding based on natural warped space-time... like bamboo shoots after rain, one small universe after another was created and born through various methods, imprinted with the fundamental divine patterns of various divine systems. There, various research on transcendent powers was advancing by leaps and bounds.

Even ordinary gods, as long as they were blessed by the power of the small universe, could barely withstand the attack of a Creation Machine God who did not share their Dao for a period of time in their universe, so as not to be instantly killed.

And the Dao Harmonization experts, strengthened by their own created small universe and Dao Harmonization weapons, were even more powerful to the extreme, almost the masters of the universe. Their words and deeds could cause epochal shifts and the flow of time to surround them.

The gods were therefore elated, believing they had found the right path.

But no one noticed that their actions were all based on the World of Creation itself suffering immense damage.

Originally, this was nothing.

Just like digging mud and sand on a mountain to build houses, refining steel to forge skeletons, who would think about how painful a mountain and mine would be? Even flattening the mountain was normal, right? It could just serve as the foundation for a new building.

After all, mountains have no life.

But the universe does.

Only it had no mouth, no soul, no self-will, like the simplest insects in a soulless world, possessing only the most basic instincts.

And now, within the shockwaves of the creation of many small universes, in endless pain, accompanied by the surging of psionic energy, the will of the universe was born.

[Lies! Lies!]

At this moment, a magnificent voice that could not be described by any words resonated from the depths of Kastalaro's soul, shaking from the fragment of the universe's will.

It was the Great Tide. From the birth of the universe to the present, the voices of all beings nurtured in this world echoed together, converging into a roar far surpassing the sea tide, and it was roaring: [Lies!]

[The universe nurtures all things, and you repay it with this?]

The Circle of Creation, condensed because of love for all beings, ultimately collapsed in the doomsday catastrophe triggered by the will of the universe—there was no room for the will of the universe among their beings. It was not just the pain of the small universe's birth caused to the universe, which was similar to childbirth, but even the changes to the universe's rules and the addition of truth by the Dao Harmonization experts were almost brainwashing to the universe's will, driving it mad.

In fact, brainwashing might even be a consolation. The appearance of a new truth was tantamount to forcibly inserting a brand-new steel module into a flesh and blood brain, just using brute force to forcibly prevent rejection from occurring, until the universe got used to it.

And now, this pain condensed into an information torrent that washed over everything, attacking Su Zhou and Kastalaro.

Yes, drawing a sword to cut water only makes it flow more—facing this spiritual attack originating from the universe's will itself, any attack was meaningless because it was so continuous that any human-caused change could not affect its duration.

Just like the old gods of Imperial Measurement who intended to smooth out the wounds of the universe's will and try to balance the relationship between 'the universe and all beings,' they were washed away by this torrent and became inclined to it.

But that also depended on the effort.

--If I slashed with a sword and cut a huge rift in the entire continent, then unless the water was a vast ocean, it would still be cut off.

And even the sea can be cut off with the Extinction Star-Slaying Blade.

"I heard your voice."

At this moment, Su Zhou's soul stood before Kastalaro's spirit, his soul burning fiercely, like a rising cyan-purple flame.

The youth's gaze seemed to pierce through the distant space-time, seeing from the fragment of the universe's will the place where the universe's will itself was entrenched at the root of the universe.

There, a hazy and chaotic will was roaring, its anger burning, rising with a brilliant silver glow, twinkling like starlight.

He stretched out his hand, and an incomparably bright divine blade was born in the condensation of scorching patterns, and born with it was a dark and dim, solid and stable scabbard.

"You are in pain, you are angry, because you actually believe that the gods can bring the correct and happy future to all beings, but you are not among those beings—because you are too powerful, you are an ignored will, your wish, you may not even know it yourself."

Su Zhou's voice carried a steady determination: "But I heard it."

"I heard your wish."

Of course, this sentence might make the universe's will feel茫然.

--Who are you?

--What wish do I have? What I want is nothing more than for you to return the origin of each small universe, and then kick out all of you descendants of gods who have harmed me.

--I want to create a group of beings who truly love me and will not harm me, and not villains who lie like you!

The will of the original universe wanted to erase all beings, but the will of the new life was not so stupid.

But Su Zhou knew that all life has wishes.

If not, it belongs to the twilight waiters.

Because wanting to destroy everything like the Nihilism leader is also a kind of wish.

The will of the universe certainly has wishes, and his wishes are even very simple. The youth can completely help him realize them, just not now.

Moreover, he is Su Zhou.

So, he clenched the blade in his hand.

There were bright divine patterns spreading from the tiger's mouth where Su Zhou tightly held the hilt, all the way to the tip of the blade, revealing a sharp glow.

Innovation innovation, the word innovation is a blade, cutting through the world—what in the world cannot be innovated? Just as the blade is directed, cutting away all the injustices of the floating world.

The oncoming torrent of information was like water, but Su Zhou took a step forward and slashed out a blade.

In an instant, a blade of light that was extremely hot rose against the current, like lightning igniting the clouds. It burned through the information like a tide, annihilating most of the meaningless wailing and murmurings within it. It also burned to a clear transparency those things that were not objective facts, incinerating most of the subjective hatred and animosity, leaving only pure chains of cause and effect.

The blade passed, leaving only glass.

Even hatred should be pure to be considered correct. The will of the original universe suffered due to the mistakes of the gods, but scattered its anger among all beings, and thus ultimately failed.

And Su Zhou used the blade of innovation to cut through prejudice and resentment, burning away the self-abandonment and irrational madness, instead making the universe's will realize why it could successfully brainwash the Imperial Measurement gods, and not be resisted by the gods like the previous generation of the universe's will, ultimately failing.

That was because this time it did not intend to destroy all beings, but only intended to punish the gods, causing many alien worlds to collide, destroying their proud small universes and reclaiming them.

And Su Zhou could make it do better... much better than the 'Second Doomsday Catastrophe' it planned to carry out.

[Better...] So, the will of the universe even paused for a moment, thinking about this possibility.

Kastalaro, who was behind Su Zhou, had just barely regained his senses at this moment. He stared blankly at Su Zhou standing in front of him, cutting open and purifying the torrent of information that he could not expel even with all his strength, cutting off the sea-like waves.

Even collapsing.

Yes, the other party was not a life from the World of Creation, and naturally had resistance when facing the suppression of the universe's will—but putting his hand on his heart and asking himself, Kastalaro believed that even if he was also an extraterrestrial life, when facing the universe's will, he would never be able to be as free as Su Zhou.

Soon, the silver-haired god saw that, accompanied by a murmur that did not have much anger, and even carried doubt, Su Zhou's blade had slashed at the fragment of the universe's will contained in the divine intent.

The dark soul space was illuminated, and countless cyan-purple cracks spread, eventually covering the entire universe fragment.

But, just before the fragment of the universe's will was about to shatter, Su Zhou did not continue to slash down, but sheathed his blade.

The innovation blade is endless, cutting down all beings.

The path of innovation is to constantly pursue higher, never be satisfied, in order to obtain more correct correctness on top of many truths, achieve greatness above the Great Path, just like a blade, wielding a blade to the sky, to correct the lawless.

But, what needs to be innovated? Should this innovation have an end? Otherwise, things will go to extremes. If one blindly pursues better, but cannot stop, isn't it a kind of torture?

Therefore, the new is the sheath.

The blade always has a sheath, otherwise it will hurt others and yourself. Even if it never stops, it must stop to think, and correct your mistakes from time to time, so that you can truly break the demons in your heart and achieve correctness.

Walking in the World of Creation, Su Zhou has gradually realized the deeper truth of his path of innovation.

His previous actions, in many worlds, have been brave and diligent, which corresponds to the word 'innovation' in 'innovation,' reforming the world, changing the world, breaking the old world with a blade, and reshaping the new life.

But most of those worlds are already broken and in need of breaking and then standing. No matter how intense the destruction is, it cannot be worse, and this can support his actions.

But the World of Creation is so complete. Although there are some injustices, it is harmless. If it is still like the past, it will cause suffering to the people.

Blind innovation is entering a demon obstacle, losing oneself and not knowing it, becoming a slave of the Dao, not a pioneer who builds the road and leads all beings forward.

The Dao Harmonization realm is definitely not becoming a part of the Dao!

Therefore, Su Zhou sheathed his blade. Instead, he spoke, his voice like thunder.

"Your wish is an apology--"

Saying this, the youth's tone was solemn: "Destruction, slaughter, destruction, and even the doomsday catastrophe are just trivial matters--you are the will of the universe, how could you care about this little revenge?"

"Pain, torture, madness, and the lost origin of the universe, in fact, you don't care at all--you are the origin of all things, how can you not know the reason for all this?"

"Will of the universe, what you want is just an apology--those gods who made you mad, but never thought about your feelings, their sincere apology, the sincerity of admitting their mistakes, is what you desire most."

"The recognition of all beings, the love of all beings, and the repentance and apology of the gods, using a blade to cut away prejudice and madness, burning away anger and resentment, what you really want is these."

"You want them to admit their mistakes."

Saying this, he took a step forward and spread his arms: "And I can help you."

Su Zhou's voice was sincere and clear, with a sincerity that no one could find fault with, and every word he said was true, without any lies or concealment.

Just like in the past, the war between the great existences was just to determine who was more correct.

Now, in this miniature war of correctness in the World of Creation, the will of the universe only wants to let other correctnesses apologize to it.

That's all.

But it is also extremely difficult.

[Nonsense! Lies!]

In contrast, the reprimand of the will of the universe seemed abnormally weak. Obviously, the will of the universe itself also knew Su Zhou's sincerity and could not regard Su Zhou, this visitor from another world, as a pure enemy like before.

In the final analysis, there was no conflict between him and Su Zhou, just because the other party was helping Kastalaro, the last Imperial Measurement god who was not affected by it.

So, soon, the fragment of the universe's will lurking in Charnavaro's divine intent disintegrated itself.

Since this time it could not erode successfully, it simply gave up. As long as Kastalaro dared to leave the Imperial Measurement Holy Temple and go to the World of Creation, then it would definitely continue to encounter this kind of invasion, incorporating this sole survivor of the Imperial Measurement Dao into its own camp.

For a time, countless illusions dissipated, and the soul space also dimmed.

Inside the Imperial Measurement Holy Temple, holding the divine intent, Kastalaro's originally stiff body suddenly shook. The silver-haired god couldn't help but feel a severe pain in his soul, causing him to subconsciously kneel on the ground, panting heavily.

And Su Zhou in front of him reached out his hand and pulled him up again.

"It's okay." The youth said so, he was a little apologetic: "Sorry, because the will of the universe is part of the World of Creation, as a visitor from another world, it is a bit difficult for me to distinguish. Its fragments are lurking in the souls of all the radical factions of the Imperial Measurement Dao. I should have thought of this."

[Cough cough, it's not your fault... I myself was not prepared. This kind of thing, I should be the most cautious]

Standing up, the god's face was pale. Obviously, Su Zhou's previous fight with the universe's will in his soul space, although it did not cause specific damage, the 'Great Path battle' between the two sides did have a considerable impact on this Creation Machine God.

Now, Kastalaro also felt the voices of 'Innovation!' and 'Lies!' interweaving back and forth in his soul.

[But who will apologize...]

Recalling what Su Zhou said to the will of the universe at the end, Kastalaro couldn't help but murmur to himself: [Even if we did damage the universe, the will of the universe was a later product, and we couldn't have predicted this situation]

[What's more, the doomsday catastrophe destroyed the Circle of Creation, causing the extinction of hundreds of millions of species--even if this universe's will is new, it still intends to create a great catastrophe]

"The gods of the World of Creation and the will of the universe are all wrong. It would be good to beat them all up."

And Su Zhou's answer was very straightforward. He shook his head and said, "Creating a universe is probably impossible, but Dao Harmonization doesn't need to be so rough--adding a new truth to the universe can be as sparse and ordinary as adding a fried egg to two slices of bread for breakfast, as gentle as dipping dumplings in vinegar. Your Dao Harmonization is so rough, it was wrong in the first place, and it can be better."

"As for the will of the universe, ha, it sounds very powerful, but in fact, according to my contact, it feels like a child who has not been born for long. It is too simple and too powerful, so it will cause disasters."

Casually saying a large-scale taunt that would anger all the gods and the will of the universe, an extremely AoE, Su Zhou put his hands behind his back: "Compared to these, Kastalaro, after personally experiencing the impact of the universe's will this time, what do you feel?"

After pondering for a while, the god nodded: [Although it feels very painful, I unexpectedly know what my fellow travelers encountered in the past...]

[They will sink, not because their will is not firm, but because they also really want to coordinate the contradictions between the will of the universe and all beings, so this point is used]

[However, this is not irreversible--even the will of the universe cannot completely destroy the truth in the hearts of the gods. I have confidence that I can unravel this almost brainwashing deception, and let my channels escape from the bewitched situation and awaken]

Now, Kastalaro no longer calls those radicals heretics. He pondered for a while, looked at Su Zhou, frowned, and his handsome face looked very distressed.

But soon, he figured it out. The god let out a breath and said in a deep voice: [Original Candle Dragon, Su Zhou... I think I need to tell you a truth]

Su Zhou raised his eyebrows, but was not surprised: "Please tell me."

[Okay] After responding, Kastalaro changed the subject: [I know that you have recently been creating a small network based on the divine power network, called the New Cultivation Network, around the previous Ruimu Starfield]

[Although it seems ordinary and is just an ordinary exchange system, I know that it is a creation linked to the divine power network. The divine intent of 'evolution' contained in it is extremely pure, almost a Dao, and its essence is upright and bright, without any darkness. Therefore, everyone yearns for it. Now, there are many followers and it is spreading throughout the edge star cluster of the Imperial Measurement Dao]

"Oh? It seems that Funiya and the others are doing well."

Su Zhou nodded slightly. He looked a little surprised: "It seems that the migration of the residents of Ruimu Star to other star fields is also an opportunity to spread."

But next, the words of the silver-haired god made him even more surprised.

[You, want to create a Dao Harmonization weapon related to 'evolution' for yourself, right?]

"You actually guessed it?"

Kastalaro's accurate guess did surprise the youth slightly, but soon, he nodded, even more interested: "Not bad, you guessed it right, I do plan to use the Flame of Evolution and the New Cultivation Network, jointly with the divine power network, as the foundation of my future Dao Harmonization weapon."

To this, Kastalaro said directly: [And I can help you--to be precise, the Imperial Measurement Dao can help you]

Saying this, he turned around. The god strode towards the high platform in the center of the Imperial Measurement Holy Temple, the solemn place that was once used to place the Dao Harmonization weapon, the Judgment of Truth.

This high platform is octagonal in shape. The base is so large that even a star on it looks like a table lamp, showing a deep cyan-blue color, seemingly originating from the depths of the high sky, or like the bottom of the deep sea. It is extremely solid and can bear everything in the universe, placing it fairly on it.

And as Kastalaro approached, faint rune divine lights began to light up little by little on this magnificent and ancient high platform, and brilliant and magnificent rays of light began to light up from the foundation of this high platform, and then fill the surroundings.

A breath that had existed since the distant ancient times surged, as if the gods gathered here, jointly casting the supreme illusion.

Standing in front of this high platform, turning around to face Su Zhou, Kastalaro proudly spread his arms to the youth whose eyes widened and revealed a look of surprise.

[As you can see, Original Candle Dragon, this is the sanctuary where we, the Imperial Measurement Dao, once forged the Judgment of Truth and opened the Ritual Sacrifice Heaven--the real place of forging the Dao!]

[The entire Great Holy Temple is a furnace for tempering the Great Path and integrating the truth!]

[As long as the Holy Temple still exists, with enough raw materials, we can recast the Dao Harmonization weapon here. In fact, with the passage of time, the Dao Harmonization weapon has been recast more than ten times. We do not stick to the same old ways, and are still constantly revising and improving]

[This is also why those bewitched fellow travelers and the will of the universe have always wanted to seize this place, because without obtaining the Great Holy Temple, without obtaining the place where our Imperial Measurement Dao's true Great Path inheritance is located, it cannot truly grasp the foundation of our Imperial Measurement Dao!]

[And now]

Saying this, Kastalaro bowed to Su Zhou, from the bottom of his heart.

[It can be used by you]

There are double monthly tickets at the end of the month on the 28th!
