Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 35 Myriad Realms Ice Melt
The World of Genesis, the Four Forbidden Zones, the Tower of Zenith Heaven.
The location of the cosmic axis.
Generally speaking, an infinitely large world can hardly have a center or an axis. After all, even the boundaries cannot be determined, and even the vastness cannot be concluded. Who can know whether this vast and boundless star field is the center of the world or a remote corner of the universe?
But the World of Genesis is different. As a universe with a Hedao (harmonious Dao) expert, the extraordinary individuals in this world can easily see and investigate the cosmic primordial gravitational waves.
By this, they can know the situation at the beginning of the universe's birth, and know the mystery of 'Genesis'.
The name of the Genesis Ring comes from this. It was the first group of gods who explored the origin of the universe, understood all the secrets in the primordial gravitational waves, and began to 'create the world'.
However, the origin of the universe is not the center of the universe, nor is it the axis of the universe.
The origin of the universe is a core spiritual power gathering point located deep in the sub-space, on the 'inner side of the world'. In other words, it is the 'spiritual power center' of the World of Genesis. It was born very late. It was formed after a large number of intelligent lives and civilizations appeared in the World of Genesis, and after cosmic-level spiritual energy currents appeared.
The center of the universe, as the name suggests, is the temporal and spatial center point of the World of Genesis. However, because the World of Genesis is not a symmetrically expanding universe, its position is actually constantly moving according to the center point of an 'irregular ellipsoid', and it changes frequently, making it impossible to locate.
The cosmic axis does exist, but it does not exist in the three-dimensional universe. Instead, it is located deep in the sub-space, where matter and spiritual energy intersect, the equilibrium point of the largest material circle and the largest spiritual power circle in the World of Genesis.
The Tower of Zenith Heaven is located on this equilibrium point.
Deep in the sub-space, it should have been pitch black, like the sea at night, but at this moment, the 'sky' above the sea is extremely bright, like daytime—although the real universe does not emit light, the leaping active spiritual energy is exceptionally dazzling when compared to the sub-space.
At the junction of black and white, a surging storm and giant waves are rising, making a roar comparable to the jet of a black hole.
This line, which seems straight but actually traverses countless time and space nodes, is the intersection point of the sub-space and the material universe, the 'cosmic axis'.
As it gradually approaches the junction of the black sea and the white sky, there is a pure cyan line, like glazed jade, that intersects the cosmic axis at a ninety-degree angle, forming a huge x, existing simultaneously in the black and white sea and sky.
As it approaches, this cyan line gradually becomes larger, so large that it surpasses all material entities that humans can imagine. Even the incomparably vast gaseous giant stars are like tiny fireflies compared to it, and the stars floating around it are no different from ordinary desk lamp bulbs.
As you get closer, you can see that this line is actually a majestic and magnificent giant tower that reaches its limit. It rises from an unknown source in the distant past and connects to an unknown destination in the distant future. It is like the y-axis of a coordinate system, dividing the two worlds into four blocks, severing the sky and the sea.
[Tower of Zenith Heaven]
In the distant past, when all the gods in the entire World of Genesis were keen on creating various races, creating civilizations, and creating a beautiful world that belonged only to themselves, there was a group who did not like creation, were not enthusiastic about civilization, and were ambiguous about the beautiful world, but were only keen on cultivating magic power and improving themselves.
They felt that most of the gods who argued that their creations were perfect and flawless, their races were cute and charming, and their civilizations were developed and prosperous were a little mentally retarded.
From the perspective of modern Earth humans, it is like people from the solitary living faction looking at those who keep cats and dogs, thinking that those people are simply being kidnapped by cats and dogs, or even brainwashed by cat people and dog people, becoming servants of their own creations.
Of course, this does not mean that this group of gods do not like cats and dogs—they just don't keep them themselves, but they will still go to see and touch them. The creation of the divine power network also has a share of these people.
All in all, this group of individualists is the predecessor of the Four Forbidden Zones, the Tower of Zenith Heaven.
As a member of the Great Existence, Transcendence, the core creed of the Tower of Zenith Heaven is actually very simple, that is [Stronger].
At first glance, it seems a bit like Innovation, both are about becoming faster, better, and stronger, but in reality, they are different.
Innovation is more inclined to 'correct mistakes', while Transcendence is more focused on 'improving hard power'. Simply put, Innovation will try to use reform methods to solve practical problems, so that what was originally bad becomes good—for example, practicing Kung Fu is to solve meridian problems and straighten out the chaotic Zhenqi (true energy), and naturally strength will become stronger.
Transcendence will directly improve technical strength and solve old problems with productivity that surpasses the era—meridian problems, talent problems, or even cultivation deviation are not important at all, I will just crush you with inner strength.
Of course, the most important thing is the method of dealing with people.
On the Innovation side, Su Zhou personally sees injustice and wants to correct it if he sees something wrong. However, if he is only a Transcendence follower, he would think, 'You mortals are rotten, don't disturb me from ascending to immortality.'
However, if the whole world is really so rotten that it affects the progress of the Transcendence followers in cultivating immortality and ascending, then all living beings will see 'immortals descending from the sky, cleansing the world of evil'.
The position of the Tower of Zenith Heaven is also the same. Like the Vortex of Strife and the Burial Ground of Myriad Manifestations, it is not a legitimate ruler of the universe split from the Genesis Ring, like the Ten Heavens Divine System and the Creation Ruins. Except for the End of Era disaster, because the universe was really rotten to the point of affecting their cultivation and Transcendence, so they came out once, they basically did not actively interfere with anything externally.
Whether it was the Divine System War in the past, or the increasingly tense situation recently, the Tower of Zenith Heaven does not care.
But this time, it is different.
The Lord of the Dawn Spire, Aurora Phibi, as the founder of the Tower of Zenith Heaven, is one of the most veteran Hedao (harmonious Dao) experts who has existed since ancient times. His true form is the 'first spiritual body' born in the depths of the sub-space, that is, the ancestor of all sub-space spiritual bodies (mostly sub-space demons in other universes).
Theoretically speaking, sub-space spiritual bodies are easily infected by the joys, sorrows, hopes, and despairs of intelligent beings due to the influence of the real universe, and turn into opposing sides fighting, such as 'holy angels' and 'primordial demons'. Even in universes where the whole is inclined to evil and there are no holy angels, demons will be divided into demon and devil factions, or the demon array led by many evil gods will kill each other.
But in the World of Genesis, everything is very different, because Aurora Phibi understood the essence of 'Transcendence', transcended the disputes of good and evil very early, led his group to transcend the influence of all beings' thoughts, and built the 'Dawn Spire' at the cosmic axis, protecting his group from being harmed and affected by other demons in the sub-space and the thoughts of all beings, making the original small number of sub-space spiritual bodies multiply and grow, from the initial dozens or hundreds of people, to hundreds of millions.
In the time when Aurora Phibi had not become powerful, the Dawn Spire had also encountered many difficulties. It had struggled in the teeth of the monstrous beasts that roamed between the material and sub-space, and had also experienced several attacks by giant, incredibly powerful, distorted spiritual phantoms, almost causing the entire race to be assimilated and swallowed.
Because they refused the influence brought by the thoughts of all beings, the improvement of their strength could only rely on themselves. When the Dawn Spire was weak, it was even broken through by many evil spirits. Many sub-space spiritual bodies became food for the enemy, or fell, choosing to accept the endless power of wishes and transform into sub-space demons.
But Aurora Phibi transcended all of this. He cultivated step by step in endless destruction and destruction, in the bloody rain and despair, refusing the influence of all other external forces, relying only on his own strength to expel, kill, and annihilate all enemies, even exterminating them, shining like dawn on the dark sub-space.
In the tens of thousands of years that followed, more and more creatures learned of the name of the Dawn Spire. They admired Aurora Phibi's deeds and were willing to follow his path. The Lord of the Dawn Spire gladly agreed, so the Dawn Spire was expanded, expanded again, and expanded again and again.
Until now, the Dawn Spire has become a layer of the Tower of Zenith Heaven that is not particularly special. The Tower of Zenith Heaven has become the supreme spectacle spanning two worlds, with more than dozens of large cultivation god organizations attached to it, and more than a hundred free Creation Machine Gods following it. The number of gods is even countless. Around the Tower of Zenith Heaven, there are hundreds of giant virtual space ports and demiplanes parked, and all of the residents are gods and God-ascenders who are focused on cultivation.
Yes, the Tower of Zenith Heaven is not a strict god organization. It is just a regional name for a group of free cultivators who gather together to cultivate and exchange cultivation experience.
As more and more people joined, and more and more demiplanes and layers were attached to the Tower of Zenith Heaven, the entire Tower of Zenith Heaven became more and more like a real 'small universe'.
In a certain situation, this may also be a way to create a universe, but it does not rely on any strange objects or divine objects, nor does it rely on the divine power of the great universe, but only on the strength of the cultivators themselves.
Legend has it that when the Tower of Zenith Heaven truly transforms into a small universe, a strong person who transcends the Hedao realm and touches the Flood Realm will also emerge from the Tower of Zenith Heaven!
This is the reason why the strong in the Tower of Zenith Heaven disdain to participate in the wars of the external Ten Heavens Divine System, and it is also why they believe that they are the right path of the universe.
[Tower of Zenith Heaven, Dawn Step]
The number of layers in the Tower of Zenith Heaven has nothing to do with height. The stronger the strength, the higher the energy level, and the more layers can be touched. The initial creation stage can only access about ten layers, while the God-ascender can access thousands of tower entrances leading to different demiplanes.
However, only by reaching the first rank of Creation Machine God can one reach the theoretical foundation of the Tower of Zenith Heaven, the Dawn Step.
A blond teenager with tightly knitted brows floated in an endless sky without any continent. All around him were endless clouds, encircling a bottomless well that connected up and down, and he was constantly rising in this well, as if endlessly.
The endless clouds forming the deep well slowly rotate. It is not a real cloud, but an endless spiritual energy condensed by the Tower of Zenith Heaven from the void of the multiverse. It is captured by the strong and purified here, and then runs through the entire tower, and is the energy source for all plane levels in the Tower of Zenith Heaven.
And that blond teenager is naturally the Lord of the Dawn Spire, Aurora Phibi.
At first glance, Aurora Phibi is just a fifteen or sixteen-year-old teenager. The only strange thing is that his eyes are overflowing with pure cyan glazed light. Just a trace of pure breath reveals seems to be able to penetrate the world and transcend all things.
It can be seen that a huge wreck suddenly appeared in the endless clouds, a dark world fragment. This fragment is far larger than a star, and is the remnant of a medium and large world after it was broken. It was captured by the Tower of Zenith Heaven from the void along with the endless spiritual energy, and transmitted to this place.
And the blond teenager who seemed to be troubled just raised his eyes slightly, his eyes moved slightly, and the cyan light swept across. This incomparably solid star-level world remnant that even the turbulence of time and space could not destroy shattered and scattered, and was decomposed and purified under the action of the cyan glazed light, returning to the purest spiritual energy.
One of the highest inheritances of the Great Existence, Transcendence, [Thoroughly Clean Radiance], is a magical power that can purify, purify, and strengthen all things and even concepts. It can turn incomparably powerful divine soldiers and Dao (way) artifacts into the most ordinary primordial spiritual energy, and it can also strengthen ordinary mud and dust into shining pearls and treasures that illuminate the heavens.
It is precisely by this method that the strong in the Tower of Zenith Heaven can obtain the purest source of spiritual energy and advance to a higher realm.
However, even with such magical powers, he could not purify the small silver bracelet in his hand.
[Really... It's fine if it's that guy Elch, but Kroy wouldn't lie...]
What Aurora Phibi holds in his hand is the token of the Fairy Queen Elch.
The news and speculation contained in it were only confirmed today.
He raised his head and looked at the top of the endless cloud well world, his cyan eyes flashing, watching everything in the void: [According to observations, a total of more than 1,500 small worlds, 360 medium and large worlds, and seventeen large worlds around the World of Genesis are approaching the World of Genesis... Judging from the current momentum, they are going to directly collide with our world]
[Hmph, it's not surprising. A piece of world wreckage was captured just now. Although there were several world fragments in the past few thousand years, there have been more and more recently, and they are far from being as big as today]
He put away the silver ring and put it back in his arms, Aurora Phibi put his hands behind his back and began to ponder.
The Vortex of Strife is a forbidden zone located on the outer side of the world, and their sphere of influence can naturally detect the various situations in the outer universe. Both the Vortex of Strife and the Tower of Zenith Heaven are organizations that are not successors of the Genesis Ring and are neutral to the Ten Heavens Divine System. They are not lunatics like the Burial Ground of Myriad Manifestations, so they have long formed an alliance and exchanged information.
The Lord of the Dawn Spire naturally knew that the news sent by the Fairy Queen and the Lord of the Vortex of Strife was not false, and he also knew why the other party had to transmit information so carefully using secret tokens... After all, in the face of the divine power of the Hedao (harmonious Dao) armament [Index of All Phases] of the [Way of Apocalypse], even a Hedao expert will be captured by it if they are not careful. A little information, and then deduce the complete dialogue process.
These are not the problems, the biggest problem is the 'multi-world collision' that the World of Genesis is about to face.
A small world is actually at most the size of a star field, and no matter how big it is, it is at most seven or eight solar systems.
A medium-sized world is a bit more complicated. The smaller ones have galaxy-level structures, while the larger ones are as vast as superclusters of galaxies. For ordinary life, they are almost the same as the entire infinite universe.
As for large worlds, they start at least with the observable universe and reach the infinite structure - the World of Genesis is a standard large world.
Exceptional super-large worlds are more special. Most of them have very special cosmic structures, such as an entire infinite world being an 'ultra-giant flat earth world' with infinite continents and skies. Although it is also an infinite universe, it is too special, and the spiritual energy quality in the same range is far denser and larger than the star world of the World of Genesis, so it is called a super-large, super-giant universe.
And now, there are a total of more than a thousand worlds colliding with the World of Genesis.
It sounds like only the seventeen large worlds need to be paid attention to. The other small and medium-sized worlds combined are probably not even one-tenth the size of the territory ruled by any system in the Ten Heavens Divine System, not to mention that every small universe can be regarded as a large world.
But it is not calculated this way.
[Even if a small world collides with the World of Genesis and is swallowed by the World of Genesis, it will cause a slight change in the cosmic constants... The lower the level of the creature, the less likely it is to be affected, but for the Machine Gods, it takes a while to adapt]
Rising continuously in the center of the cloud well, the blond teenager closed his eyes, and a thoughtful expression appeared on his delicate face: [More than a thousand worlds collide one after another like a meteor shower. Even I have to adapt to the continuous fluctuation of cosmic constants for a while, and the Tower of Zenith Heaven needs at least thousands of years of maintenance to ensure that it does not malfunction because of this]
[Plus the drastic changes in the cosmic constants caused by those medium and large worlds - this is a super crisis that is no less than the End of Era disaster!]
[No, wait]
Suddenly, Aurora Phibi opened his eyes, and he suddenly realized: [This is the End of Era disaster of this era!]
Although the message in the Fairy Queen's bracelet did not say it directly, how could he not know the meaning of the other party's deliberate communication in this way with his wisdom?
It should be noted that what needs the tokens of Hedao experts to hide the information contained in it, and what is worthy of being concealed by this method, is not only the [Index of All Phases]—but also the entire universe itself!
The will of the universe!
[Is it the will of the universe? Using the power of the dark, dragging many worlds to collide with itself... No, it is dragging 'prey', waiting for its own devouring!]
Having figured out the key, the follow-up ideas became extremely smooth, and Aurora Phibi immediately understood the purpose of the will of the universe.
The birth of the will of the universe originated from the fact that the Ten Heavens Divine System opened up ten small universes and dragged a huge amount of the origin of the universe, causing the basic structure of the entire World of Genesis to shake because of this - the first End of Era disaster was the backlash of the universe. Although it was successfully resisted, the first generation of the will of the universe fell into silence, but the pain still remains, and now it is shaking again with the awakening of this generation of the will of the universe.
Since it is very troublesome to ask for its origin internally, then why not supplement it from the outside?
Relying on its unique position and powerful mass, the World of Genesis, the entire great universe itself, began to drag other adjacent worlds in the void, approaching itself, intending to use it as its own food!
[But why, the void of the multiverse, is not sealed and frozen by an supreme and insurmountable great power? Not to mention the World of Genesis, even Flood experts can hardly shake it, at most they can spread their influence, but they cannot push countless worlds forward like a real Flood river]
Having reached the Hedao realm, even if he does not know the essence of the great seal, he can fully sense the power that runs through all the universes and worlds, and even completely seals the void. It is really difficult for him to imagine what the World of Genesis has to do to do such an incredible thing.
So, with doubts, the blond teenager raised his head again and carefully transcended the world barrier, looking at the outside of the multiverse void.
At this moment, the many fortresses and time and space nodes of the Vortex of Strife in the outer universe also sensed the vibration of the Tower of Zenith Heaven, and cooperated to display a huge auxiliary formation in the void. In the silver light, it formed a super-giant observation magic circle, allowing Aurora Phibi to see farther and more clearly at this moment.
Then, he widened his eyes and exclaimed.
[Incredible!]
Multiverse, Frozen Void.
Some time after Su Zhou and the three Great Existences arrived at the World of Genesis.
The eternally frozen time and space... began to gradually melt.
Countless cosmic worlds, as if solidified in amber, began to drift again after a long absence.
Thus.
The heavens and myriad worlds moved one after another.
The small black room crashed again. Fortunately, there was automatic saving, but 2000 words were lost...
This is half a chapter today. I will continue to work overtime to write for a while and try to finish it before morning.
