Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 6 World of Creation, Departure!
The Zhuzhou community doesn't have much different atmosphere than other areas in the Pioneer Market world.
If there is a difference, it’s that it is a community rather than a trading point, so there are more places for entertainment and leisure such as bars and restaurants, and fewer related shops.
And behind every shop and entertainment venue, there are related guilds opening them, which can also be regarded as a part of the large adventure guilds' recycling of funds and construction of the Pioneer Space.
After all, the Pioneer's authority lies only in exploration, and perhaps also in freeloading, and how to truly 'grow the society of adventurers and explorers' is something that all explorers themselves should worry about building.
Su Zhou accompanied Dechimus to the entrance of the Zhuzhou community. He looked up and looked at the main sign floating in the air [Zhuzhou Community] with a rather subtle expression, as well as the hundreds of floating small signs around it.
[The newest, toughest, and cheapest transcendent creature module, please contact explorer number 0] [Don't believe it, although the modules sold by this bastard are not bad in quality, they are all old and refurbished] [10% higher than the market price, what cheap are you *ing about!]
[The best bar in Zhuzhou Community is opening today with good luck, at a special discount price of 30%, cheaper than all its peers!] [You call yourself the best bar? The one next door blablabla...] [Can't you speak without a crutch? No way, no way, no way]
[Reward for scammer number, reward bottom price is an A-level opening permission, exploration points] [Captured, contact me privately for details] [You caught the wrong number, I'm a good person, how could I be caught by you?] [I guess you might have been scammed twice]
[AA-level world hidden character recruits teammates, requirements, spell-casting enhancement above A-level, martial arts enhancement above A-level, just complete the task, all gains belong to teammates] [Additional: no mechanical enhancement] [Looking down on mechanically modified martial artists, right?! Isn't Godzilla's uranium light wave fist considered martial arts?] [What a bastard, why can't I use a magic cannon as a spell-casting system!]
At the gate, one could vaguely see a Zhuzhou in the form of a dragon man arguing with a Zhuzhou in the form of a minotaur.
"I think that if you want to improve yourself and the synchronization rate of the Zhuzhou bloodline, you should try using the 'role-playing method'! That is to say, our actions should be more in line with the Zhuzhou spirit, to refute more imperfections!"
"Is your Zhuzhou spirit just refuting everything? I can't accept it!"
"Aren't you just refuting me? Your refuting me itself means you agree with me, and your agreeing with me means you agree with me!"
"Are you teleporting in place?"
Su Zhou stopped and listened to the nonsense for a while, he couldn't help but interject: "A guess, not necessarily correct, is it possible that the Zhuzhou spirit represents 'pursuing a better answer' and not just refuting, nor just 'imperfection', but 'compared to the previous self'?"
The two parties who were interrupted immediately turned their heads to look at Su Zhou, their eyes blank—although their expressions seemed to say 'to be fair, he seems to make sense' and 'rational analysis, indeed', they both said in unison: "Who are you? Are you a newbie?" "What do you know about Zhuzhou!"
Su Zhou naturally didn't take it seriously, laughed, and turned away, while Dechimus trembled, looking at the two explorers who were still arguing with a subtle look, and couldn't help swallowing.
—Perhaps... no one understands Zhuzhou better than that lord!
All in all, the atmosphere of the Zhuzhou community can be seen from this.
"My lord, let me lead the way for you!"
Dechimus was obviously very familiar with this place. He often came here to buy some cheap materials and information about the World of Creation. After Su Zhou sighed, he followed him into it.
Although the entrance was very messy, the interior of the Zhuzhou community was quite orderly. It was mainly centered on the strongholds built by the three large guilds, 'Justice League', 'Rebels', and 'Rationality'.
'Justice League' is a rebellious guild mainly composed of abyssal demons. Those gathered in it are either succubus holy warriors or fire demon monks. Most of them may not be doing this because they have a sense of justice in their hearts, but are likely to be so chaotic and evil that even chaos and evil must be reversed. In other words, things have reached an extreme and become 'Justice League'.
This guild mainly focuses on exploring worlds that are more inclined to Western fantasy, and is currently focusing on conquering a large world 'Topless Vault'. This world is not a primordial world, but it is also extremely huge. It is a super-giant world naturally conceived in the Sealed Multiverse, and it is also a very rare infinite-level floating island world.
In that world, the infinite sky is filled with infinite floating islands at different heights. Each floating island has a different ecology, and each height has different special natural phenomena. So far, no one has reached the top, and no one has reached the bottom. In a sense, it is a world that can be explored endlessly.
'Rebels' is a guild established mainly by a Xianxia-style cultivator. Although it is inclusive, most of its members are also mythical beasts and cultivators of the Xianxia martial arts system. The concept they follow is naturally 'Rebellion'. They don't care whether you are the Heavenly Dao, the Great Dao, or any heavenly principles or rules. In short, they are rebellious. If you dare to control them, they dare to rebel. It is said that the members of the guild often fight and challenge the leader, and the number of times they commit insubordination and rebel against the emperor is countless. They are a very free group of rebellious people.
'Rebels' is currently exploring a primordial world 'Huantian Realm'. It is said that this world is the primordial world of the great existence 'Chaos', but it has not been completely confirmed yet. That world is extremely huge. They have not yet left the novice village, which is that mountain that is probably larger than the entire solar system. The information is very insufficient.
"This is the second time I've seen information about the Huntain Realm... It seems that it is Yala's primordial world?"
Su Zhou nodded slightly. He couldn't help but recall the adventure in the Shenlong world, and then pondered: "Now it can be basically determined that the Huntian Realm is a super-giant world with a Xianxia background. The map is probably larger than all the worlds I've encountered before..."
"Unexpectedly, the Pioneers have already set foot in so many primordial worlds—if Yala's purpose is different from the purpose of creating them, then what is the purpose of the Pioneers?"
So far, Su Zhou has not been able to guess the answer to this question, and Yala, except for lazily admitting that the Huntian Realm is indeed His primordial world, did not say more.
Thinking of this, Su Zhou continued to listen to Dechimus introduce the last large guild in the Zhuzhou community, 'Rationality'.
Objectively speaking, and after rational analysis, the 'Rationality' guild is mostly alchemists and researchers. They do not have a specific gathering world. They go everywhere and explore everywhere. What they are best at and like most is trying to assemble the infinite possibilities of modules—machinery and flesh, alchemy and spirit machinery, magic and immortal Taoism... They have a nearly obsessive love for trying to arrange and combine them, and they are also keen on preaching in various worlds, teaching principles, establishing sects, building libraries, mage towers, etc. In terms of reputation in the heavens and worlds alone, the 'Rationality' guild may be the largest.
This guild accounts for nearly 18% of the market share of Pioneer biological modules, machinery, and alchemy modules, which is already a very terrifying market share for the entire Pioneer Space. They also have related strongholds in the World of Creation, selling intelligence and modules for the 'Spirit Machine Divine Body' there.
"But this time, we are not going to the 'Rationality' guild."
The brown-haired mage retracted his hand pointing to a tall mage tower. That black pillar, which was more like an oversized telephone pole than a mage tower, flickered with endless flowing mysterious rune light. Dechimus smiled and said: "But the Torch of Hope—compared to the Rationality guild, which focuses on other worlds, the newly emerging Torch of Hope has been stationed in the World of Creation for almost two years."
"Look, the front is the office of the Torch of Hope."
As he said this, Su Zhou looked up and saw a metal box that was more like a warship standing upright than a building—he could even see that this warship was obviously imitating the shape of his warship, and it could really be driven!
I have to say, when it comes to architectural style, the Zhuzhou community is really weird—is a warship standing upright strange? No, no, just next door, there is a giant mirror more than 500 meters high, and many spiritual Zhuzhou live in this magic mirror, and opposite the mirror is another concave mirror, and a magic Zhuzhou guild lives in the infinite corridor between the mirrors.
With a subtle smile, Su Zhou followed Dechimus into this 'spaceship office'.
The Torch of Hope is not a small guild now. It is considered a rising star guild, second only to the three major guilds. The office has many hired staff and AI service staff.
Dechimus turned out to be a VIP customer. After saying the request 'I hope to meet with the high-level members of the guild to discuss some key matters', the mage received a positive answer and took Su Zhou to the high-level reception room.
Then, in the reception room, Su Zhou saw a sea urchin youth wearing a high-tech black tight-fitting combat suit, looking like he came from a traditional villainous organization.
"Hello, Mr. Dechimus. The task you entrusted to us last time has been completed. Now we have confirmed that 'Fen Zhan Tian' is a small universe under the Ten Heavenly God System [Yuan Mie Dao]... Damn, Brother Zhou?!"
At first, Jiu Ming, who was sitting behind the table in the reception room, seriously took out the crystal stone recording the relevant information and was about to hand it to Dechimus, but after seeing Su Zhou walking slowly with a curious look, the dragon man beautiful boy couldn't help but tremble and almost dropped the crystal stone: "Y-you, Minister, why are you here?! Why didn't you tell us before?!"
"The uniform looks pretty good."
Su Zhou didn't answer the other party's question at first, but praised Jiu Ming's outfit after looking him up and down: "Didn't I say I was going to the Pioneer Space before? I just happened to be free recently, so I came to take a look—it's a good thing this Dechimus immortal god prepared a Sovereign-level Pioneer beacon, otherwise the one Funia gave me really couldn't pull me."
"Eh?"
Dechimus widened his eyes. He looked at Su Zhou, then at Jiu Ming, with a dazed expression: "This, Your Excellency and Mr. Jiu Ming..."
Staying in the American Federation and the Pioneer Space all the time, he naturally didn't know that Jiu Ming was the official from Zhengguo stationed in the Pioneer Space, and he naturally didn't know what the essence of the Torch of Hope was.
He never expected that the organization he had been cooperating with recently was actually on the same side as the big shot he had pulled over!
Will there be discounts on the service.jpg
The answer is, of course!
"It seems, Mr. Dechimus, you really have good luck. You actually invited the Minister to help..."
Nodding thoughtfully, Jiu Ming certainly knew the reason why Dechimus was obsessed with the World of Creation, and he also knew that the other party had been working hard to invite a Celestial Venerable from the Yuheng Dao—as for why this Venerable suddenly turned into his own Brother Zhou, he didn't know yet, but isn't this even better?
Anyway, Su Zhou is indeed ubiquitous. Coming to the Pioneer Space is possible as long as he wants to, which is very reasonable.
The dragon man teenager was obviously very clear about Dechimus' purpose in coming here. Seeing Su Zhou gesturing for him to ignore him and continue working, he restrained his attention and seriously continued the previous topic with Dechimus: "Originally, we were planning to continue assisting Mr. Dechimus in exploring the World of Creation and observing the subsequent movements of the mission target 'Yuan Mie Dao'... but the situation has changed. Recently, our Torch of Hope may gradually withdraw its main force from the World of Creation and can no longer continue exploring."
"Eh? What happened?"
Not only was Dechimus surprised, but even Su Zhou raised his eyebrows and looked at Jiu Ming.
Jiu Ming nodded. He said seriously: "Not only that, but even the 'Rationality' guild's office stationed in the World of Creation is also withdrawing."
"In fact, the entire Zhuzhou community has been shrinking recently, but Mr. Dechimus is not a Zhuzhou after all, and he returned to Earth some time ago and was not in the space, so he naturally doesn't know the recent situation."
"Now, for some reason, a wave has appeared in all the worlds of the heavens, launching a inexplicable hunt targeting 'Zhuzhou'."
Obviously, this was big news. Once said, the entire reception room was silent for a while.
"This... what's going on?"
Hearing this news, Dechimus was shocked, but before he could ask in detail, he heard Su Zhou's voice from his side.
"Funny, tell me in detail."
At this moment, the youth crossed his arms with great interest and squinted his eyes: "What forces generally initiated it, and what are the reasons for the hunt?"
Calming himself down, Jiu Ming had obviously only learned about this news some time ago. After thinking for a while, he said in a deep voice: "In the World of Creation, there is a wanted order targeting the 'Dragon of Chengdao', and the initiators are [Tianqi Dao] [Luotian Dao] [Chuangshi Dao] [Yuan Mie Dao] [Honghui Dao] and [Wanxiang Burial Ground]."
"Their reason is that the Dragon of Chengdao has some secrets about the prehistoric ancient event that created the 'Wanxiang Burial Ground' and the 'Ruins of Creation', and they need the cooperation of the Dragon of Chengdao, that is, the Zhuzhou named Xingying, whom I told Brother Zhou about last time."
"And [Ruins of Creation] [Anyuan Dao] [Niepan Dao] and [Suojin Dao] jointly requested the other party to explain what the secret is—currently, the major God system forbidden areas in the World of Creation are at daggers drawn. We are preparing to take the Dragon Girl of Chengdao back to the Pioneer Space to avoid this muddy water."
"A reasonable decision."
Su Zhou nodded: "Your strength is not enough, and retreating directly is the best choice. Those cosmic god systems can't stop the power of the Pioneer no matter how strong they are, but they also have trump cards that can prevent you from returning, so you need to retreat as early as possible, and that Xingying... I remember that's the name? As the center of the storm, it's best to get out early."
"Yes." Jiu Ming scratched his head, and his blue hair shook like water. His expression was a little helpless: "It's just that Xingying said that she must communicate with [Ruins of Creation] and tell them some relevant information... We can't stop this, because Ruins of Creation has indeed helped us a lot because of Xingying's identity, and has also helped us build some important strongholds. It's really not good to leave without saying a word."
"But in the current situation, if she is discovered, it will be difficult to come back, so the World of Creation is still accelerating its actions. I withdrew in advance as a reserve force, and I will have to go back to save the day if something really goes wrong."
"Um."
Su Zhou nodded and then fell into deep thought.
[Tianqi Dao] [Luotian Dao] [Chuangshi Dao] [Yuan Mie Dao] [Honghui Dao] and [Wanxiang Burial Ground] are obviously Destiny, Return to One, Creation, Termination, Coordination and Dusk respectively.
And the latter [Ruins of Creation] [Anyuan Dao] [Niepan Dao] [Lunzhan Dao] and [Suojin Dao] should be the other side of Creation, Chaos, Perfection, Reincarnation and Pioneer.
These God system organizations established by the Great Existence's families have obviously joined forces and fought again.
And the reason why the other party is targeting Zhuzhou... not to mention Su Zhou, even Yala doesn't understand this.
"Why?"
The snake spirit scratched his head with his tail in confusion: "Even if you are my covenantor, it should be you, the primordial Zhuzhou, who is being hunted... why arrest other derivatives?"
"The path you are taking is not the path of resonance in the heavens and completion of the same body, but the path of self-respect... Even if they catch other Zhuzhou, they can't catch you along the way."
——That's right, and what can they do if they catch them? We are all on this young Zhuzhou, who can they catch?
That's right, hey, it's been so many years since we last met, I didn't expect that the families of Destiny and Return to One are so weak.
At this moment, the voice of the Twin God Trees appeared, seemingly shaking their heads and sighing, regretting the incompetence of the families of other Great Existences: It's strange, there are no families of ours in the World of Creation, and they are going to catch Zhuzhou, and we are now on Zhuzhou, maybe there is a little relationship? This is reasonable.
"Reasonable people, get over yourselves."
Su Zhou's expression was a little distorted, but this matter was indeed strange.
His own race of origin was suddenly targeted by major forces in the heavens, and no matter how he thought about it, there must be a conspiracy behind it, which he needed to think about carefully.
And just now, the youth had finished thinking and made a choice.
"Catch Zhuzhou?"
He laughed, but the laughter sounded coldly like the polar abyss in the ears of Dechimus and Jiu Ming. Su Zhou raised his head, his eyes seeming to be cast beyond the void, in the direction of the World of Creation.
He said lightly: "Prepare yourselves, Dechimus, Jiu Ming."
"The Pioneer Space is indeed very interesting, but we are going to the World of Creation to see what's going on."
As he said this, Su Zhou's tone carried an obvious sneer: "I want to see if those guys who say they want to catch Zhuzhou will be like Lord Ye who likes dragons in paintings when they really see me, the primordial Zhuzhou!"
Thirty-five minutes later.
The Torch of Hope guild announced that it would temporarily close and suspend consulting related businesses.
Forty-five minutes later, Su Zhou, Dechimus and Jiu Ming embarked on the road to the World of Creation.
【——World Core Element · Creation——】
【——Creation Seal Fracture Rate 73%——】
【——Ice Condensation Void · Vortex · Primordial Sealed World——】
"It seems that there is indeed something strange about the World of Creation."
Watching the light emerging on the Heavenly God Scale, Su Zhou smiled lightly and then looked at the black portal created by the Pioneer Space in front of him.
He stepped forward and entered it.
Then, a new adventure began!
Hey, I didn't finish writing a big chapter. For the sake of full attendance, let's post 5500 first...
Before: I said, I will revive the glory of the W word!
Now: Keeping full attendance is winning.jpg
