Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 38 The Fusion of Myriad Realms (5400)
In the void, the ice melt continued. The originally clear stars were obscured by numerous chaotic temporal currents, like a calm lake surface covered by ripples from countless raindrops.
Standing in the vibrating ripples, Su Zhou sincerely tilted his head, gazing at his guide, the Pactmaker: "And you too, right, Yala?"
"Mmm..."
Regarding her Pactmaker's direct answer, the scarlet serpent spirit couldn't help but feel a bit of a headache, but also some joy.
Although she hadn't intended to hide it from the start, the fact that the youth could figure it out on his own pleased her greatly. "You guessed correctly indeed—but why?"
She curiously asked in return: "Su Zhou, it's not strange that you could guess the Pioneer, but why would you know that this matter is also related to me?"
"Simple elimination."
Su Zhou replied seriously: "Moreover, I also know that you and the Pioneer are not allies, but just happen to have the same goal."
[Oh!]
[Mhm!]
The Twin Divine Trees made very supportive sounds.
The answer was actually quite simple.
Now, after fighting with the dependents of many worlds, and even the Primordial World, Su Zhou was able to understand what the thoughts, correctness, and tendencies of many great existences sealed in the Sealed Multiverse were.
Currently, the fifteen great existences were roughly divided into four camps.
The first, Miracle and Transcendence, because they weren't sealed at all, and were vaguely the creators of the entire Great Seal, therefore had no Primordial World, and also had many dependents and influences remaining in the multiverse—their thoughts couldn't be deduced, but in any case, they would definitely be maintaining the Great Seal, protecting the beings within.
In this way, the ones who created the great anomaly, causing the Great Seal to not evolve according to the normal progress, could never be them.
This could probably be considered the 'Sealing Faction,' transcendent and isolated, mostly unrelated to Su Zhou, but if it involved major events related to the Sealed Universe, Su Zhou didn't think he could avoid them.
The second part, Su Zhou called the 'Re-Proving Faction,' which was the five great existences: [Creation], [Unification], [Destiny], [Termination], and [Coordination].
Although Su Zhou had only communicated with 'Destiny,' he could clearly sense that Destiny, although sealed, hadn't given up on pursuing 'correctness'—rather, the seal had given Him a stage, allowing Him to continue proving his correctness under a higher intensity of pressure.
Presumably, the great existences such as Creation also thought this way, so Su Zhou could see that groups of dependents of these great existences would always carry out some extremely abnormal, radical, or novel changes and proofs in many worlds. For example, behind the Solar Emperor was the guidance of Creation, the Burning Torch was proof, and the Void Sect Leader's Stardust Power was also a power of Creation.
Not to mention the 'Only God' project in the World of Genesis, which, in a sense, were all experiments that could prove a kind of 'correctness.'
These great existences wanted to re-prove their correctness once again on the fact that they had indeed failed.
Then, there were the five great existences: [Chaos], [Existence], [Continuation], [Perfection], and [Reincarnation].
These five great existences had already awakened, and Su Zhou had seen them all, communicated with them personally, so he naturally understood their correctness even better.
Su Zhou felt that this faction could be called the 'Guiding Faction'—they didn't care about their own failure, nor did they think there was anything wrong with their correctness.
Compared to correctness, they cared more about whether the beings in this multiverse could walk on the correct path.
Therefore, these great existences were all guiding beings to walk their own paths, just like the World of Perfection and the World of Reincarnation. Although it seemed like they didn't care about anything, everything was guiding all beings towards a perfect path.
Su Zhou was very clear that this third faction was standing behind him, supporting his and Yala's plan, and also had marks on the Celestial God Scale.
Compared to their own correctness, they hoped that the other great existences could be quiet for a while, and be a little quieter.
Of course, [Twilight] didn't count.
Twilight, to put it nicely, was isolated from the world, and to put it bluntly, was autistic. He was so special that there was no point in calculating any faction, because no matter what others did, He didn't care.
So, apart from these great existences, those remaining were the prime suspects.
That was the fourth faction, the 'Isolationist' guys that Su Zhou called them.
[Pioneer] and [Balance].
Su Zhou didn't know much about the Pioneer's purpose other than a Pioneer Space. Back then, Yala and the Pioneer had obviously debated for a long time in the Frozen Void, but Su Zhou wasn't qualified to understand and listen to the details at that time.
However, He was obviously not in the same faction as the other great existences at all. The Pioneer's power might not be strong, but it was very special. This could be seen from the fact that a considerable part of the Pioneer's power was nurtured in the power of the Celestial God Scale. His power might also be the foundation of the Great Seal.
And He was also the only great existence who had returned to the Great Seal himself.
The Pioneer was obviously completely different from other great existences, isolated from the world.
As for [Balance]... He was so mysterious that Su Zhou couldn't figure out what His plan was at all. But judging from the current situation of Yuhhengdao, He was at least not the person who notified the will of the universe. And in that He didn't speak, but only cultivated dependents to spread correctness, He was very similar to the Pioneer.
The Sealing Faction wanted to witness correctness, the Re-Proving Faction wanted to reshape correctness, and the Guiding Faction wanted to cultivate correctness.
And apart from Balance, whose situation was currently completely unclear, in terms of the Pioneer alone, He wanted to explore all correctness, and then make plans.
Twilight was amazing. He felt that correctness was meaningless, so He squatted next to Him and slept soundly.
In short.
Four different correctness factions, one autistic person, this was Su Zhou's impression of the relationship between the many great existences in the Sealed Universe today.
"The Pioneer himself is still asleep. The things in the World of Genesis are not necessarily done by Him personally, but rather automatic response measures within the Pioneer Space."
At this moment, Su Zhou's tone was confident: "Although the Frozen Void will make many worlds exceptionally stable, it also hinders the problem of shuttling between many worlds—even if the Pioneer Space is extremely powerful, this is also an abnormal burden after more and more Pioneer dependents are stationed in it."
"Therefore, the Pioneer benefits the most from melting the Frozen Void, which will greatly expand the boundaries of exploration. Moreover, His main body happens to be in the seal, and He doesn't care about the strengthening of the Great Seal at all. What's more, if the Ten Celestial God Systems in the Sealed Universe capture His dependents, He can simply urge the will of the universe to fight against them, and incidentally show another possibility for the future. Wouldn't that be wonderful?"
Think carefully and you'll know.
When the Ten Celestial God Systems were all enemies, who did the Pioneer Explorers rely on to stay in the initial World of Genesis?
And who was an enemy of these gods, and who needed to open up the future and the power of 'distant worlds' more than the gods?
Obviously, it was only the will of the universe.
Even if it was exploring the possibility of its future survival, this pure purpose would probably make it become a dependent of the Pioneer.
"Very wonderful reasoning. The Pioneer did implement the plan because of these reasons, melting the Frozen Void and transmitting the will of the universe."
Yala nodded in agreement to Su Zhou's reasoning. His tone was filled with emotion: "That guy's plan is indeed very different from ours, even completely opposite—however, we are not enemies. What the Pioneer needs is more future, more unknowns, and I also need the infinite possibilities of the multiverse to maintain 'anything can happen'."
"The Frozen Void, solidifies all abnormal changes. It did protect the peace of many worlds, but since our great existences have already been unsealed, this cage is almost collapsing. It is better to lift this meaningless power, so that the Great Seal can more directly oppress our essence, and also make the possibilities of the multiverse more active."
The scarlet serpent spirit spoke eloquently, His tail swaying, feeling delighted for Su Zhou's clear understanding of the essence of things.
However, He still asked.
"But how did you guess all of this on my head, and not Perfection, Reincarnation? You must know that these two guys are essentially in the same group as us, and they also have the motivation to do the same thing."
"I'm not blind."
Su Zhou said honestly: "Although the Yuhhengdao used the Starry Sky Grand Sacrifice to shape the Everlasting Star God's body, it was vast and boundless, and ordinary people couldn't see its entire picture at all. But I observed it with the Reincarnation Seal as a base, and with the Life Cause and Effect method given by the World Tree, I could see the creation where its endless starlight converged."
"That's a snake—a 'World Serpent' that spans the entire universe, so huge that just shaking its body will cause the starry sky to shake!"
If it was Perfection, it would be a cosmic divine bird, and if it was the Silent Lord, it should be the Soul of the World.
He, Su Zhou, might have aesthetic problems, but his eyes weren't lame! Such a big serpent was over there, and with the 'Departure Plan' insisted on by the Ten Celestial God Systems such as Anyuandao, looking at it this way, who else could it be but Yala?
Unlike the Pioneer, the Guiding Faction hoped that the other great existences would be quiet for a while and concentrate on guiding the lives in the Sealed Multiverse to achieve the highest.
They believed that rather than using violent methods to break the seal, with themselves who had not understood the true correctness, and walking the old path again to leave the Great Seal, the essence was nothing more than waiting for the Miracle and Transcendence outside to cooperate with other great existences again to defeat them for the second and third time.
Was that meaningful? Too Twilight.
At least, they had to cultivate a Transcender in this Sealed Multiverse, a powerful existence that had transcended the困顿 of this universe, so that they could say 'Look, the correctness of us has not faded, and can also guide the emergence of correctness'!
The power of the will of the universe naturally goes without saying.
As it was born with infinite power, and was the will of the universe of the Primordial Universe, its power was so great that it would even harm itself, and it was impossible to walk and live like a normal life in the future.
Only the Cosmic Star Body shaped by Chaos for it could withstand the backlash of all power. If it succeeded in cultivation, perhaps, it could really embark on the path of the Transcender.
Although it was subtle, like searching for a grain of sand in the sea of chaos, it couldn't be said to be impossible.
But the Pioneer was different.
[The Pioneer guy wants to explore the secrets of the Great Seal]
The totem of the World Tree floated on Su Zhou's left, and He gazed at the void now, and couldn't help but shake His head slightly: [And helping the will of the universe is also a good opportunity to explore the essence of the power of other great existences—don't look at the fact that the Sojindao in the Ten Celestial God Systems is also a Pioneer dependent, but compared to the explorers of the Pioneer Space, these dependents who are just very curious and have also been influenced by Creation are not considered to be from the main family at all]
And the totem of the Great Dao Tree floated on Su Zhou's right, and His tone was even more calm: [As long as he can glimpse the essence of the Great Seal, it is equivalent to exploring the power of many great existences including Miracle and Transcendence. How could the Pioneer give up? After all, as the guy who really sealed himself in the Great Seal, only by completely peeping through the mysteries of the seal can He possibly come out]
[What's more, this may also be a preview of His future grand plan. Chaos and us also foreseeed that grand possibility, so we intervened]
The Pioneer split the坚冰, Chaos melted the凝滞, and the Twin Divine Trees, perhaps in that previous grand confrontation with Twilight, had already integrated their power into many worlds, protecting those worlds from the impact of this multiverse upheaval.
They were indeed prepared. Now that he thought about it, the youth could even find a lot of evidence in return.
So, Su Zhou couldn't help but wonder: "What grand plan? You're actually tempted?"
"Return to the World of Genesis, Su Zhou." At this moment, Yala reminded him in a deep voice: "Sometimes, you can't speak in the void, especially in the void that is no longer frozen."
"...That's right."
When the youth heard this, he couldn't help but pause, but then nodded in agreement.
He raised his eyes, looked at the extremely conspicuous silver brilliance in the many temporal currents, as if it penetrated the entire multiverse structure, and then nodded, shook his head, and then took the Stellar Phoenix together to open up a space-time channel to the Yuhheng Sacred Hall outside the World of Genesis again.
He and the Stellar Phoenix stepped into it and returned to the Yuhheng Sacred Hall.
And in this process, Su Zhou's question was answered.
He knew what the Pioneer's real purpose was.
[If the void is no longer frozen and the worlds can merge, then what impact will it have on this multiverse if the Sealed Universe, which is the core of the seal, is also hit and merged by other universes?]
This was the voice of the Great Dao Tree, with a kind of indifference.
[To be even bigger, if the entire Sealed Multiverse is hit and merged by other multiverses, then for the Great Seal, this must also be a great shock, right?]
This was the narrative of the World Tree, with a trace of solemnity.
"The great fusion of all worlds, this is the Pioneer's plan."
This was Yala's conclusion, His tone firm: "Moreover, this is also a scene that will inevitably happen in the multiverse in the future!"
At this moment, in Su Zhou's mind, the starmap of the entire Sealed Multiverse with the Sealed Universe as the center appeared.
The brilliance of hundreds of millions of world stars in it was nothing more than a drop in the ocean, or even a fraction of infinity, but the changes in it could be clearly seen.
Since the Frozen Void had dissipated, the pattern of the entire multiverse would undergo tremendous changes as a result.
Small worlds would be swallowed by large worlds, and large worlds would merge with each other to form new, larger worlds.
This fusion would continue until the structure of the entire Sealed Multiverse stabilized again from the chaos—and all of this happening in the World of Genesis was a preview, which could better observe the results of all this.
"...The Pioneer has never given up the idea of letting all the great existences leave the seal and be able to freely 'explore correctness' again. This is His path, His purpose."
Couldn't help but suddenly realize, Su Zhou took over the words, and he stared at Yala: "But all of this is just an experiment, so you and the Pioneer joined forces, intending to migrate all beings away from the World of Genesis—the beings are not affected, the so-called end-of-life catastrophe directly becomes nonsense, and these lives in the Primordial World can also get rid of the shackles of the Primordial World and have infinite possibilities in the multiverse."
"Similarly, without the Ten Celestial God Systems, the Cosmic Serpent can break free, be free, no longer have the constraints of the gods, and the obstruction of all beings, and can freely decide its future destiny—after all, in your eyes, the will of the universe is also one of all beings, and also has the full power to pursue correctness."
"And you can also observe how strong a primordial world will become after experiencing all of this, and what the Great Seal will do after doing this—you can take the opportunity to explore the essential laws of the Great Seal, and then try to break it!"
At this moment, Su Zhou couldn't help but agree in his heart.
In a sense, this might also be a correct way to leave the Great Seal.
"Moreover, the great fusion of all worlds..."
He couldn't help but whisper to himself.
If this was the future trend of the multiverse, then according to the current situation of the will of the universe in the Sealed Universe... He might also牵引 many worlds to hit himself to make up for the loss caused by the fall of the cosmic fragments, as well as the damage caused by the battles of the civilizations at the Return to Void level before.
That was almost destined to happen in the future.
The youth laughed lightly: "That's really good luck...The current me, in the World of Genesis, is just an outsider, and I can observe the response measures of the Ten Celestial God Systems, the leaders in this universe, to this destined event, and try to help either side succeed."
"Then, when I return to the Sealed Universe, even if I encounter the same thing, I will know what to do to succeed."
So far.
In the Sealed Universe, the camps and purposes of all the great existences have gradually become clear.
No matter which side it is, it is acting for the future of all beings, and it is all correct.
And Su Zhou had already made up his mind.
He wanted to give this multiverse, which had already been filled with great love, a better future.
As for this better start, it would begin in the World of Genesis, which was almost a miniature version of the battle of correctness.
"There must be a better way to coordinate the relationship between the beings of the universe and the will of the universe—this is the true meaning of balance, and I want to do better than balance."
"What I want is a win-win situation."
[Win-win!]
Whispering to himself, making up his mind, making the Stellar Phoenix next to him also happily repeat the sentence.
At this moment, Su Zhou raised his head, and he had arrived at the Yuhheng Sacred Hall, the location of the Space-Time Pool.
At the same time, the silver-haired and purple-eyed god also came to the Space-Time Pool, and looked at the center of the divine object with surging vortexes with a complicated expression.
Castararo could naturally know of Su Zhou's return, and even knew that the other party had defeated the chief priest team of the Starry Sky Grand Sacrifice of Yuhhengdao, and had even defeated His former colleague, the [Adjudicator], who was also a God Chosen of Dao Integration.
All of this was simply like a dream, making Him feel unbelievable and hard to believe.
How could it be possible, how could someone defeat a thousand gods, a dozen Creation Machine Gods, and a peak God Chosen of Dao Integration with his own strength?!
But all of these doubts were temporarily dissolved after seeing the Stellar Phoenix's round and harmonious figure.
[This, what is this?!]
Opening his mouth wide, although this God Chosen of Dao Integration already knew the other party's true identity in his heart, he couldn't believe it: [This ball...]
In this regard, Su Zhou turned his head, glanced at the Stellar Phoenix, and then smiled: "Huh, can't you see it?"
"This is a phoenix!"
[Chiang!]
