Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 10 The Area Ahead Is Still Unexplorable (5600)

Chapter 756 The Area Ahead Is Not Yet Ready for Exploration (5600)

From a wider perspective, observing the starfield where the Flying Rainbow and the Divine Tree Starship are located, one can see that silent, dark shadows are approaching the two cosmic warships.

Star beasts, shielded from mass and electromagnetic reactions, approach stealthily, moving through the dark vacuum with extreme discipline, like vague shadows in the night. If not for the use of hyperspace radar to monitor the psionic reflections in subspace, Shao Shuangyue and the others would likely believe the surroundings to be perfectly silent.

But now, realizing that their targets have detected them, the many star beasts no longer conceal their power. They emit their own light, like stars in the sky, and rush toward their targets.

"Don't give them a chance to accelerate!"

Xingying, reacting quickly, warned, "These star beasts can accelerate themselves to about ten percent of the speed of light, and launch suicidal attacks at that speed!"

"Funiya, cover me! Xingying, enter combat mode!"

Without hesitation, Shao Shuangyue immediately sat on the captain's seat. At the same time, metal port pipelines rose from around the captain's seat like chains, transforming into a giant metal cocoon around the black-haired girl, with blue-green electronic patterns flickering on its surface.

Funiya had already disappeared, returning to her own cockpit. The massive Abyssal Mechanical God was activating. The Abyssal Armor, developed based on the power of a Great Demon, transformed into a stream of light in an instant.

In that moment, the starry sky seemed to be illuminated by a ball of black and red fire. The flames swept across the cosmic firmament, dispelling the surrounding darkness. Wherever Funiya charged, many star beasts scattered and fled. Those that tried to face her attack, or were too slow to escape, were engulfed in the Abyssal Flame and turned to ashes.

At the same time, Xingying's prosthetic body closed its eyes, and the soul of the Chengdao Dragon Girl detached from her body, scattering fluorescent light that merged into the entire Flying Rainbow.

The original Flying Rainbow looked like a flattened rocket, presenting an acute-angled triangle in a plan view. But now, as Xingying's soul merged into it and the machine soul awakened, this high-tech spacecraft, forged with all the resources of the Torch of Gleaming Hope's office in the World of Genesis, began to transform amidst the roar of spiritual energy, lengthening and transforming into a colossal dragon with machinery as its body!

"Here we go, Xingying!"

"Let's go together, Shuangyue!"

The two shouted in unison, and then, the slender, thousands-of-meters-long cosmic mech-dragon swayed its body and let out a long roar.

At this moment, the many star beasts who still did not forget their mission even as their master retreated, and Yin and Bai, the siblings who stood nervously on the side, couldn't help but be slightly stunned, because they heard—

The sound of spiritual wind surging in the cosmic vacuum.

The Chengdao Dragon is a divine beast that does not have any particularly special powers or inclinations. It is not like the Azure Dragon, nor the Kunpeng, nor the Golden Crow, all of whom innately control a certain attribute of spiritual energy and possess powerful cultivation methods. Although it is a natural machine god, Xingying's initial power was simply stronger vitality, better spiritual energy control, and a more resilient body than other divine beasts.

But that was enough.

As long as the fundamentals are mastered to the extreme, one can also communicate with the divine.

At this moment, the area where the Flying Rainbow was located was in the open area between many stars. Here, there was no spiritual energy surge from the stars, nor cosmic hurricanes shot out by powerful celestial bodies such as black hole neutron stars. If one were to use the ocean as an analogy, this area was a dead, windless zone.

But now, the wind was rising. It was a fierce wind stirred up from the Flying Rainbow, which was now the body of the Chengdao Dragon. This wind swept through the dead vacuum, activating the stagnant spiritual energy, emitting a slight buzzing sound. This buzzing sound echoed among the stars, like the tremors before thunder.

And after the tremors, came the roar of psionic energy.

Yin's ghost stood on the Divine Tree Battleship. She narrowed her eyes slightly, her blue hair flying in the wind.

In her eyes, the cosmic dragon, transformed from the warship, spat out the most ordinary, the simplest, but also the most powerful high-energy particle beam. It was like a straight line of stars, illuminating the surrounding starry sky, piercing through the ranks of many star beasts, and sweeping through a cluster of tens of thousands of cosmic beasts.

What followed was a series of terrifying explosions.

In just less than half a minute, the battle had already begun and progressed to a fever pitch.

[This power... is not something that ordinary Ascenders can possess. Even among the Machine Gods, not every one can have such powerful and precise spiritual energy control.]

The blue-haired ghost girl whispered, then sighed: [Indeed, they are also people who have awakened their power.]

[Brother, they... are our... kind.]

And just as the battle in the stars began.

In the void, another game between more powerful beings also officially began.

At this moment, Jiu Ming was browsing his notebook, which recorded all the special information about the World of Genesis, as well as the data of various powerful figures.

Basically, Jiu Ming had collected all the information about the major gods' visible powerhouses and their interpersonal relationships, as well as the affiliated forces, during his recent explorations - they had also exchanged intelligence with the 'Rationality' organization stationed here, and had a general understanding of the situation in the World of Genesis.

Originally, the Dragonkin youth thought that he could quickly start working after arriving in the World of Genesis, either continuing to promote the exploration plan, or receiving local staff back to the Pioneer Space or a locally safe planet.

But who would have thought that even the Pioneer Space's transmission speed would be slowed down after Su Zhou arrived?

But it was not a big problem. Even if the time was delayed, he, Jiu Ming, could just review it again!

But suddenly, the notes in Jiu Ming's hand trembled and fell from his hand.

Dechimus, who was also closing his eyes to rest, also opened his eyes and showed a shocked and uneasy look.

The two looked at each other and then looked at Su Zhou's back. Dechimus wanted to ask about the situation, but Jiu Ming next to him reached out to stop him and nervously held his index finger up to his lips, making a 'quiet' gesture.

Because with Su Zhou as the center, the surrounding void, the majestic torrent of spiritual energy surging due to the World of Genesis, was rapidly surging like a vortex.

This was a prelude to battle!

But who could actually fight Su Zhou, a powerhouse among the Venerables, across the void?!

"Interesting - it seems that the importance of those siblings is really a bit more important than I thought."

"Even without knowing Xingying's identity and the secrets behind her, they still sent another Venerable to hunt them down in place of Gang Yu."

Su Zhou stood with his hands behind his back in the void. His eyes had cyan-purple spiritual light rotating, like gears.

Using the Seal of Reincarnation to trace cause and effect, Su Zhou firmly locked onto a Venerable outside of Shuangyue and others' battlefield with the star beasts, who intended to launch an attack and capture both Xingying and the Divine Tree siblings.

It was a metallic bird condensed from golden divine light, quite similar to the previous Venerable Gang Yu, but with subtle differences. Perhaps they were cultivators of the same lineage, or perhaps they were simply related by blood.

It had just flown through subspace, and its unfolded wings tore through the void, blocking the light of the stars, and bringing a storm of spiritual energy disorder to the material world.

If Jiu Ming had seen it, he would have widened his eyes and exclaimed - because this dazzling form was an extremely powerful lineage in the Imperial Balance Dao, and also a sacred being that had not appeared for tens of thousands of years, but still made many enemies wary and fearful.

The Chenxing Bird.

The starlight repeats the process of formation, existence, decay, and emptiness. The initial stardust condenses into a star, and the star gradually weakens, collapsing and exploding into a corpse. The stardust scattered from the corpse may condense into a brand new star after hundreds of millions of years. This is the reincarnation of a star.

And the Chenxing Bird is the calamity that has stopped everything, stopping itself at the 'nova' stage. If they were a little stronger, they might completely enter the supernova state, or even collapse. And if they were a little weaker, they might not be able to resist their own spiritual power, leading to an uncontrolled self-explosion.

Whether it is the White Dwarf Bird or the Neutron Star Bird, which maintains density and degeneracy pressure, or the Nova Bird, which maintains a huge starlight form, they all belong to the category of Chenxing Birds, and are super creatures created by absolute balance.

Balancing myself between balance and extreme power out of control is the secret method of simulating my own power!

When they spread their wings, they are like real stars, capable of covering the sky and earth, illuminating the myriad heavens. And if they start fighting, they are the nightmare of all enemies.

But now, the Chenxing Bird showed a look as if facing a great enemy. It let out a sharp cry, and had a coronal crest condensed from sunspots on its head. There seemed to be tiny starlight floating in it, like gems in a crown.

[Who are you... Why are you interfering with our Imperial Balance Dao's actions?!]

At this moment, its mind and power were raised to the extreme. The opponent's power was like the Milky Way in its eyes, vast and complicated, and could not be predicted or calculated at all. In this divine bird's impression, only the main gods in charge of various departments within the divine system, and the ancestral gods of many divine beasts, had such strength.

Facing such an enemy, how could it not be careful and cautious? What's more, such a powerhouse was a visitor from outside the domain. Who knows what special powers and abilities they had that even their cosmic god system could not fully know.

But Su Zhou was extremely calm. Facing the Chenxing Bird, who was stimulated by his divine will and was now extremely vigilant across time and space, he simply raised one of his hands, then bent his fingers and contracted them.

The invisible and intangible spiritual energy was condensed by Su Zhou to the extreme, turning into a bullet. As soon as it appeared, it almost shattered the surrounding void, but soon, every gap was filled with endless divine intent. It transcended time and space, and before it was launched, it had already hit Venerable Chenxing before the spiritual energy bullet.

In an instant, within the World of Genesis, the spiritual energy around Venerable Chenxing instantly became disordered. Extremely cold, extremely hot, spirit-rich and magic-extinguishing spirit, all extreme scenes and powers, like a chaotic tide, overwhelmed the surroundings of the balance眷属, and the originally normal cosmic environment seemed to be directly disintegrated and dispersed by this divine intent.

Jiu Ming and Dechimus naturally understood the deep meaning of Su Zhou's actions. They looked solemnly at the youth's back. In the World of Genesis, Shuangyue and others who were fighting also suddenly felt a tightness in their hearts, because a tsunami-like roar suddenly rose among the stars above the firmament.

Being in such a dangerous situation, Venerable Chenxing did not appear to be in a mess. The ultimate light of flame lit up, blocking Su Zhou's offensive for it.

This flame was gentle and bright, like the materialization of entropy. The golden-white flame released the ultimate vitality, which was completely opposite to the black-red fire that Venerable Chenxing had used to travel before, which was enough to burn the void.

Creation and destruction, the two-phase nature of stellar light, the balance between the two, is the correct place, an indestructible shield!

[Stop! Extraterritorial Venerable]

With this shield protecting it, Venerable Chenxing was not afraid of any attack at all, but even so, its tone was still solemn and carried a hint of anger: [By doing this, you are provoking the Imperial Balance Dao. If you still want to gain a foothold in the World of Genesis, then...]

It suddenly stalled.

Because Su Zhou's mighty and tough pressure had suddenly pressed down.

"Then what? Speak!"

The bullet condensed in front of the youth's finger. At this moment, it was approaching the psionic singularity, pulling the ruthless spiritual power around the World of Genesis into itself like the center of a vortex. Su Zhou laughed loudly: "I should beat you until it hurts, and beat your entire god system until it hurts, so you don't dare to provoke me!"

Then, he flicked it out!

Boom!

Like a thunderclap, the silver light of the Celestial God's scale flickered, causing the spiritual light bullet that Su Zhou had just launched to disappear - but across time and space, Venerable Chenxing, who was already on full alert, had all the feathers on its body standing on end, because it sensed that although Su Zhou seemed to only flick out a spiritual energy bullet, what followed was indeed hundreds of millions of different, even contradictory, pieces of information!

In the next moment, it hit Venerable Chenxing's 'Shield of Balance', which was theoretically impossible to break.

One lineage says one thing, and another lineage says another. One person says love is the most important, and another says freedom is irreplaceable.

The world that one race likes is a low-temperature, high-gravity area, while another race likes a high-temperature, low-gravity area. One divine power emphasizes 'sorrow moves the soul, and is always beneficial', and another divine power emphasizes 'the mind is clear and unimpeded, and is invincible'.

Every person, every race, every perspective, proves that all things have different values in the eyes of all things: some plants can be eaten and have value, while some plants are poisonous and have no nutrition, so they have no value.

And the 'balance' itself requires people to subjectively make judgments, determine value, and then balance it.

"Yala, what is the fastest way to deal with the Balance Family? That guy is very close to Shuangyue and the others, and I must defeat his thick shield as soon as possible!"

Faintly, one could still hear the youth's communication with the snake spirit in the soul space.

"It's very simple. Balance is actually very similar to me, but it is extremely different in terms of specific conclusions - we both believe that everyone's views on all things are different, but I decided to let go, and it decided that it would be the standard of definition, the 'correct' definition of value, and then guide everything to the source of justice."

And the snake spirit replied quite seriously: "So the result is that we were both sealed, which is very chaotic and very balanced."

[Also very existent] [Also very continuing] The two Divine Trees also chimed in.

Therefore, Su Zhou's attack was essentially a condensation of all the essence elements of cultivation methods he had encountered and collected, and then sent them all in one package, like a blasting data attack, directly and forcibly instilling them towards Venerable Chenxing!

Such different natures, which are fundamentally impossible to coexist, let alone the divine intent of balanced cultivation methods, with the outbreak of the extremely powerful spiritual energy, interweave and collide with each other, evolving into infinite chaos - it is said that this is the method that Yala used to specialize in dealing with balance in the past.

And the results prove that it is indeed effective.

As the infinite divine intent surged past, the originally stable flame instantly began to shake rapidly, and then disintegrated. Venerable Chenxing's golden feathers all dimmed. It cried out in anger and fear, because in this short period of time, it was根本 impossible to analyze what key information was contained in such a large pile of contradictory inheritances released by Su Zhou, so naturally there was no way to use its own ability to offset Su Zhou's attack and achieve an 'balanced' absolute defense.

It couldn't catch it, and it couldn't block it!

Even without launching a single move...

It was about to lose!

Boom!

Su Zhou flicked his finger and struck, piercing through time and space, hitting Venerable Chenxing, and for a time, the infinite colors of divine intent surged wildly, piercing through all its defenses, and even raising its left wing to block.

Then, it exploded!

Endless light filled this star field. Ordinary cultivators could not possibly see through such a scene, unless they could directly look at a supernova that was exploding.

However, Su Zhou was able to see that a divine bird with a long wing broken apart was now using the power of the explosion to retreat rapidly towards the rear. Its speed was simply unimaginable.

In an instant, it jumped away and disappeared hundreds of light-years away.

At the same time, after losing the command post for the second time, many star beasts also fled like before.

Venerable Chenxing's defeat was indeed not unjust.

Because Su Zhou had three great existences providing him with advice... and if this battle was done entirely according to their advice, perhaps Venerable Chenxing would not be able to leave at all, but Su Zhou had his own ideas.

But now, it was completely enough.

What Su Zhou needed was to determine the safety of Shuangyue and others.

And, to tell those god systems of his power, so that the minions under their command would not come to bother him anymore.

In this way, this was already the best result.

"That's about enough. In this case, even if the Imperial Balance Dao is anxious and unreasonable, it will not act rashly and attack Shuangyue and the others, or those Divine Tree siblings."

Withdrawing his hand, although Su Zhou only launched one attack, in reality, it was a concentrated and long-蓄力 attack.

Just like when he killed the Dark-Moving Machine God back then, the power was enough to kill ordinary Venerables four or five times, and he also specially used Yala's recommended unbalanced chaotic garbage package impact to weaken the opponent's shield.

But even so, that Venerable Chenxing was only seriously injured, which was enough to prove its powerful strength.

"Everyone, almost there, we'll be there soon."

Turning around, Su Zhou said to Jiu Ming and Dechimus, who seemed to be shivering. His tone was with a smile: "I just solved a small problem and established a little prestige. Although it may anger some god systems, we are going to cause trouble anyway, so I think you don't care about these small things, right?"

- No, no, no, we are going to explore (find a wife), we care very much!

Although he wanted to say that, Jiu Ming thought about it and realized that even if he didn't encounter this kind of thing, he would be wanted and hunted down by many god systems, and he was suddenly depressed for a while: "What is all this... sigh, but thinking on the bright side, anyway, we are wanted for no reason, so we might as well do more things that would really cause us to be wanted to be more balanced!"

Thinking of this, he immediately became happy, and even wanted more!

And Dechimus thought about it. He was originally going to be an enemy of many god systems, so it didn't matter if he added the Imperial Balance Dao, but he estimated that he would have to communicate with the Venerable of the Imperial Balance Dao he knew, which was not a big deal.

Both sides reconciled with themselves.

At this moment, the spacetime bubble carrying Su Zhou, Jiu Ming, and Dechimus was approaching the World of Genesis' world barrier.

However, before really entering it, Su Zhou raised his head and looked at the other side of spacetime.

There, a swift aura was rapidly approaching - but it did not carry malice, but was constantly releasing a message similar to a broadcast.

"Whirlpool of Strife?"

The youth raised his eyebrows. After sensing it slightly, he said in surprise: "Although I knew that the activity range of this forbidden zone was the void outside the universe, I didn't expect their actions to be so swift..."

Concentrating, Su Zhou tried to listen to the broadcast content of this aura from afar.

Then, he heard it.

[Please wait, please wait! The area ahead cannot be explored yet!]

[Venerable from another world, if it's not too much trouble, if you want to continue forward, please be sure to sign your name on this entry certificate!]

Su Zhou: "?"
