Chapter 1 The Siphon Vortex

The siphon vortex sweeping across the entire starfield devoured almost all the surrounding star beasts. They were like krill swallowed by a giant whale; no matter how hard they struggled, they had no chance of escape.

In the dumbfounded gazes of everyone, even including the distant Yuheng Dao Sovereigns and Machine Gods who were marching, the barrier of the World of Creation opened a huge hole. However, what walked out of that abyss-like cyan-purple hole was a figure who was completely different from the previous gigantic dragon, and it was impossible to tell that it was the same being at all.

Su Zhou walked out of the spacetime gate with a relaxed expression. The human-form youth didn't look like the terrifying cosmic dragon that had devoured thousands of star beasts. The countless star beasts that had been swallowed seemed to have fallen into a black hole. It was impossible to see where they had gone, as if they had been sucked into another world.

In fact, it was indeed another world—the foundation of his personal space had become thicker. This was Su Zhou's method of laying the foundation for his personal space.

Behind him, Jiu Ming and Dechimus walked slowly through the spacetime gate into the empty starfield with almost numb expressions, seemingly still recovering from what had just happened.

The marching pace of the Yuheng Dao gods in the distance also slowed down.

After all, things had come to this point, and it was impossible to stop Su Zhou and the others. Without the entanglement of star beasts, with Yin and Bai's exceptional ability to travel through time and space, even the Sovereigns would find it difficult to intercept them in the boundless universe, let alone with another Sovereign added?

Moreover, even now, their strength far exceeded the combination of Su Zhou, this Sovereign, and several Ascended… but not every Sovereign could drink so many star beasts like soup in one gulp.

Su Zhou's strength was clearly not just that of an ordinary Sovereign.

It wasn't strange—it was just like how everyone was human, but no matter who it was, seeing a glutton who could eat dozens or hundreds of times more than an ordinary person in one meal would definitely be surprised, shocked, and even stunned at how the other party ‘actually did it?!’

The star beast group had collapsed.

After sensing the spread of Su Zhou's aura, all the remaining star beasts fled frantically like stray dogs, not daring to stay in the slightest.

Instantly, the entire starfield fell silent. Only the roar of vast spiritual energy vibrated around the youth, stirring up visible ripples.

"That is… the Primordial Candle Sun?"

At this moment, Chengdao Dragon Girl, Xing Ying, was staring blankly at the direction of Su Zhou on the bridge of the Flying Rainbow, while Shao Shuangyue was cheering beside her with such irresponsible words as ‘Brother Zhou is here! Now I can slack off!’ The always reliable Funia also breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed a lot as well.

In fact, even she herself, when she sensed the vast spiritual energy ripples that she had once felt in the Candle Sun chat group, had indeed relaxed her mind and felt at ease.

"So powerful… Just appearing can directly reverse the situation and unconsciously make us feel at ease?!"

Although it was a little hard to imagine, Xing Ying had to admit that Su Zhou's strength was even stronger than she had imagined—even stronger than most of the Creation Sovereigns she had ever seen who belonged to the Ruins of Creation!

It wasn't just bloodline closeness, but an instinctive prediction of strength!

The number one person below the Dao Harmonization realm…

Of course, Xing Ying's reaction was not an exaggeration.

What was truly exaggerated was that Yin and Bai siblings had unconsciously begun to drift toward Su Zhou.

[This aura… is so familiar and warm…]

[It is the existence that gave us strength and blessings… no, it isn't, but it is very close, very intimate…]

No matter how many hardships they had experienced, or even fled from the hands of the Creation Machine God and many Machine Gods to this day, Yin and Bai were indeed just young children.

After sensing the extremely rich divine wood aura on Su Zhou, they felt as if they were in their parents' arms, with a sense of security and safety that others could not understand. Therefore, without realizing it, they subconsciously approached Su Zhou.

"These are the two children who received the inheritance of the Twin Divine Trees? Enlightenment Bud and Everlasting Root, so it is these two inheritances. It seems that before truly understanding the inheritance, these two children suffered a lot of torment."

Without stopping Yin and Bai from approaching, Su Zhou watched the two young Divine Wood Affiliates with interest.

Enlightenment Bud and Everlasting Root were not magical practices or killing techniques that could grant someone boundless power and instantly make them a top powerhouse. The most powerful thing about these two great inheritances was to give a being the power to ‘comprehend Dao rhymes from all things’ and the tenacious vitality to ‘never die between heaven and earth unless there is an external force beyond the Heavenly Dao.’

It sounded outrageous.

In fact, it was just that outrageous.

The former holder had the most outstanding talent. Although the early advantage might not be obvious, once they became strong, the essence of all things in the world would be analyzed and comprehended by the holder, turning into their own power… In other words, if there were no accidents, the existence that obtained this inheritance (basically a Divine Wood) could achieve the Void Return to Dao realm and then open up a universe of their own.

Direct access to the Void Return to Dao realm, able to glimpse the Flood realm, even the holders of the supreme inheritance of the Great Existence could not do that!

And the latter ‘Everlasting Root’ was even more outrageous. The holder of this inherited divine power initially only took root in the foundation of the universe, and would not perish if the universe did not perish. When they became stronger, they would take root in the void, and would not perish if the multiverse did not perish.

Unless there was a powerhouse of the Flood realm or even above, resonating with the power of the endless world, carrying a portion of the origin power of the multiverse to forcibly pull out and erase its roots, ordinary attacks could not kill it at all.

Of course, sealing was another matter.

In short, the six supreme inheritances of the Twin Divine Trees did not have any obvious lethality, but in terms of the priority of abilities, that is, the depth directly reaching the origin of the myriad Daos, it was the highest level.

Similarly, to awaken these two divine powers, even with external help, one must have the absolutely pure thought of ‘wanting to live’ and ‘wanting to escape the predicament’—revenge, retaliation, love, and hope, and even joy and despair could not be present. Only such a pure desire could allow the divine power to arise spontaneously and integrate into the true spirit inside and out.

If it were not for pure children, perhaps only faint Divine Woods and old monks who had seen through everything in the world could obtain this divine power.

[These two children, indeed, are good seedlings.]

[Although they have not undergone our assessment and blessing, they do meet our standards.]

At this moment, the Twin Divine Trees also nodded slightly. Their tone was doubtful, but they did not have the anger of having their authority divided and plundered as Su Zhou had imagined: [It seems that the guy who stole our power is still maintaining a minimum standard.]

[Or rather, the one who stole our power is not another Great Existence, so naturally, they do not have the ability to tamper with the essence of our power.]

The Twin Divine Trees fell into thought, and Yala also frowned slightly. These three Great Existences did not mind their power being stolen and used, after all, ‘this might be very Chaos’ ‘it is reasonable since it appeared’ ‘being stolen is also part of the continuation.’

However, they could not figure out the purpose of stealing their power.

After all, the power of the Great Existence was eternal. Even if it was temporarily stolen through incredible means, as long as the Great Existence reappeared, it would naturally be terminated—just like now, if the Great Dao Tree and the World Tree wanted to, they could completely withdraw the power of Yin and Bai and then re-bestow it, erasing all possible hidden means.

But they did not, and there was no need to. The siblings were both normal.

As for Su Zhou, he did not think about this aspect.

At this moment, he turned his head and looked at the Flying Rainbow in the distance.

Raising his hand and waving to his little sister who was cheering, Su Zhou smiled and put down his hand, but his gaze locked onto the white-haired Dragon Girl standing next to the black-haired beauty.

The Dragon of Bearing the Dao.

"Interesting, she is indeed hiding many secrets on her body."

Nodding thoughtfully, Su Zhou called out to the Prajna Book in his body: "Let me see what exactly is going on."

[Name: Xing Ying, Dragon of Bearing the Dao]

[Age: 5]

[Talent: Walking with the Dao]

[Race: Subspecies of the Candle Sun, Dragon of Bearing the Dao]

[Cultivation: Soul of a High-Level Machine God (Spiritual Machine Divine Body Realm, but without a Machine God Body. If there is a sufficiently powerful body, she can directly recover to the High-Level Machine God Realm)]

[Historical Information: A natural Machine God born from the Ruins of Creation, one of the Four Forbidden Zones, five years ago. The second powerful saint born in response to the Dao, carrying the Dao, and containing the universe's fortune in the World of Creation over billions of years.

Its essence is the ‘Origin Key’ condensed from the universe's root authority of the World of Creation. In the Ruins of Creation, it is a Dao-born life formed by combining information from many outer universes. It can even be said to be an awakening of the branch of the Great Universe Will of the World of Creation, so it is named ‘Bearing the Dao.’

Dao-born life, theoretically, should not possess wisdom and self-will. The Dragon of Bearing the Dao should be a cosmic entity like a natural phenomenon, able to traverse the universe and world solely by instinct. However, due to the plan of the Ruin Master of the Ruins of Creation, ‘Soaring Titan·Androakto,’ and the chosen future, it used Dao Harmonization Armament to tamper with the essence of the universe, causing the Dragon of Bearing the Dao, which should have no self, to awaken its self-consciousness, creating the current ‘Xing Ying, Dragon of Bearing the Dao’

The identity of the Dragon of Bearing the Dao should not have been discovered, but due to the Founder Dao having other channels, it knew the essence of the Dragon of Bearing the Dao, so it secretly and eventually captured the other party, but the Dragon of Bearing the Dao repeatedly escaped.

Currently, she is a teammate of Shao Shuangyue, a pioneer space, a Half-Step Pioneer (Inferior).]

[Perfect Deduction (Incomplete): In the ██████ Origin Point War, she ██████ together with the Ruins of Creation, and finally retreated in defeat.

Due to her essence, she is regarded as the last hope to resist the Founder Dao and forces such as ████ and ████. In the end, before the ‘World Return War,’ she lived up to expectations, using herself as a seed to open up ████, ████, and get rid of ████'s control over ████, achieving a victory that cannot be considered a victory.

████████, but choosing her own path with her own will can be called a life without regrets.]

"Fuck (a kind of exclamation)."

Although it might be an illusion, Su Zhou felt that every time he used the Prajna Book, he would be shocked and exclaim once.

In the past, he was looking at Shao Qiming and Jashaloya, and felt incredible about the darkness hidden in their future possibilities. But this time, facing the possibilities held by Xing Ying, what Su Zhou felt was not so much troubled by the large sections of blanks, but shocked by the possibilities revealed in those few words.

Originally, she should have been an ignorant and unknowing natural saint, an incarnation of the universe's Heavenly Dao, but she gained self because of the power of the Ruin Master of the Ruins of Creation. Xing Ying's very birth was probably a miracle.

And the subsequent ‘Origin Point War,’ the ‘World Return War,’ and the final self-sacrifice… anyone who had read a little bit of novel stories could probably imagine how magnificent and wonderful Xing Ying's life was, right?

Su Zhou could still understand the Origin Point War, which was most likely the war between the Ten Heavenly God Systems and the Four Forbidden Zones to compete for the Origin Key.

As for the World Return War, it was a bit puzzling, but based on Su Zhou's imagination and current information, it probably involved the ‘Ten Heavenly Worlds,’ the war of ten small universes within this World of Creation.

With the current information, Su Zhou could roughly only guess this much.

As for the incomplete deduction content, he was not surprised—after all, the Prajna Book was just a trace of perfect blessing power, how could it be omniscient? It must be some information involving extremely powerful existences, or information protected by the power of Great Existences, so it could not be displayed.

"The most perfect ending is also self-sacrifice? It's hard to imagine what Xing Ying's fate would be in other imperfect endings."

Even without imagining it, the youth could probably guess what a dark future it would be.

Although it sounded very long, in fact, Su Zhou had only glanced at Xing Ying and had already analyzed all her deductions and future.

Of course, the most important thing was that the Dragon of Bearing the Dao was only five years old.

Although it sounded very ridiculous at first, time was also a very important clue—five years was probably the time when Su Zhou achieved the Earth Immortal realm and had just begun to have his own information transmitted in the multiverse.

At that time, in the Ruins of Creation, or rather, in the World of Creation, there was already a derivative individual of Su Zhou?

You must know that as the original world, the time flow of the World of Creation was similar to that of the Sealed Universe!

"It seems that Xing Ying should be the center of the disputes in the World of Creation."

Thinking this way, Su Zhou turned his head and looked at Yin and Bai: "And these two siblings, who can meet her by chance in the boundless universe and are also related to the Origin Key… I suppose it's the same."

"Let me see, what your future is like."

At the same time.

Just as Su Zhou continued to use the Prajna Book to observe Yin and Bai's perfect deduction.

World of Creation, outside the universe.

The headquarters of the Vortex of Strife—the source of contradiction.

[Finally, I'm back lalalala——]

A silver streamer flew in a large silver streamer. The bustling voices of the Silver Sprites filled half of the realm. Facing this group of cute little sprites, even the many giants walking in the source of contradiction could only smile bitterly and avoid them, watching them fly past gently.

Silver Sprite Ling Hui, at this moment, was immersed in the joy of returning to her old home—although it was not the real old home, Fairy Village, the source of contradiction was also where she grew up and studied, and finally became a Machine God.

To be honest, she really wanted to go straight back to her home, invite friends, and have a long-awaited party.

But that was impossible now.

The Silver Sprite humming a song knew this very well. The reason why she could come back so smoothly this time was not just because of her hard work.

The Lord of the Source of Contradiction, and the Queen of the Miracle Fairy Village, the two leaders of the Vortex of Strife, were going to summon her together, indeed to comfort her for her hard work during this period.

However, they also wanted to inquire about the situation and whereabouts of that ‘Primordial Candle Sun Sovereign’ who had just signed to enter the interior of the universe.

They were all very interested in this extremely rare and unique powerhouse who would really sign to enter the universe.
