Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 7 Covering the Sky with One Hand (Giant Chapter Requesting Monthly Tickets!)

Chapter 753 Covering the Sky With One Hand (W-Word Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

In the pitch-black expanse of space, countless stars shimmer, seemingly unchanged from the ancient past to the distant future. A starship's exhaust, brighter than any star, traces a long, serpentine tail in the void. Wherever it passes, spacetime warps as its warp drive propels it at faster-than-light speeds, like a butterfly flitting through an endless field of sparks.

In the World of Genesis, belonging to the Beacon of Hope, the faster-than-light starship 'Flying Rainbow' is running at full capacity. If its weak inertial propulsion engine were operating outside of a vacuum, it would likely generate thunder capable of shattering glass and disintegrating steel machinery.

Clearly, the Flying Rainbow is rapidly evading, perhaps even 'fleeing'.

And the only power capable of pursuing the Beacon of Hope, an organization boasting several Overlord-level powerhouses, is the 'Cosmic God System', which stands at the true apex of the World of Genesis!

"Ugh, we've run so far, almost from the Celestial Light Realm to the other side of the universe. Why are they still chasing us?!"

Inside the starship's bridge, Shao Shuangyue slammed her fist on the armrest of the captain's seat, wearing an expression of agonizing grief. "What is going on?! Why is the whole universe suddenly hunting Z烛昼hu Zhu? What did my brother do this time? Ugh..."

Although she was only complaining to herself, the black-haired beauty suddenly faltered.

She paused to consider, then realized her Brother Zhou did indeed seem to have a penchant for making trouble: "Come to think of it, when he fought the Leader of Nihility a while back, he did rampage and fight all over the myriad worlds. Could this be something that stemmed from then…"

It was a bit of a stretch, but if one had to consider the possibilities, perhaps it was a lead?

Currently, the entire Beacon of Hope organization is in the midst of an amazing escape.

Even though the outside world keeps declaring that they are only after the Dragon of the Mandate, Xingying.

But as members of the Z烛昼hu Zhu group, how could Shao Shuangyue and the others not know that the target they were trying to capture was all Z烛昼hu Zhu?

Perhaps Xingying was indeed more important, even significantly so, but the other Z烛昼hu Zhu were not low priority either.

At least, according to Shao Shuangyue's information, she knew that the large Z烛昼hu Zhu organization, [Rationality], headquartered in [Exhaustive Dao], had been ambushed by several secret teams from other God Systems. Although support from Exhaustive Dao arrived quickly, they still suffered heavy losses and had begun preparing to evacuate the world.

It was precisely because of the Rationality organization's experience that the Beacon of Hope decided to immediately relocate its base. As it turned out, this action was very decisive, because just a few days after the Beacon of Hope fully retreated, several more mysterious teams suddenly ambushed the original headquarters. If Shao Shuangyue hadn't been decisive and led the team away early, they would have been trapped in their nest and captured.

Even so, several persistent tracking teams were still pursuing the Beacon of Hope's flagship at high speed, and they hadn't shaken them off yet.

"Shuangyue, we're almost within the territory of [Equilibrium Dao]... Logically speaking, any teams from any Cosmic God System should stop here, right?"

At this moment, Xingying, the Dragon Girl of the Mandate, the primary target of the pursuit, frowned as she looked at the large map on the starship's light screen.

Having been hunted by the thirty-plus Mechanoid Gods of [Creation Dao] before, she had rich experience in escaping. She was currently leading the way, allowing the Beacon of Hope's starship to weave through the universe, leaving the tracking teams of Mechanoid Gods in the dust.

But even so, Xingying still felt somewhat inexplicable.

--Why are they chasing me?

Even though the God Systems pursuing the Z烛昼hu Zhu were unanimously saying that the Dragon of the Mandate possessed extremely important secrets, Xingying sincerely felt that she had nothing special about herself since her birth. She couldn't understand what great secrets those guys were talking about.

The only thing special about her was probably being a 'Dragon of the Mandate', and the newest and only 'new' 'Celestial Mechanoid God' to appear in the last forty or fifty thousand years.

"But, that's not a particularly rare identity—Celestial Mechanoid Gods always appear, sometimes in a few hundred years, sometimes in a few thousand. And a new Celestial Mechanoid God appearing every tens of thousands of years is normal. It shouldn't be for that reason, right?"

No matter how she thought about it, Xingying couldn't understand why she had to flee everywhere.

"That's not right."

Soon, Xingying frowned, her white eyebrows slightly raised, revealing a thoughtful expression. "Come to think of it, there is one more thing about me that is very special."

It wasn't her physical body, but her soul.

The 'Z烛昼hu Zhu Chat Group' in her soul!

Recently, all the Z烛昼hu Zhu in the Z烛昼hu Zhu Chat Group have been having a hard time.

When it was said that the myriad worlds were all capturing Z烛昼hu Zhu, it was really the myriad worlds—some worlds with lower energy levels were fine. In those worlds, the Blood of Z烛昼hu Zhu only needed to change forms to avoid capture, but in worlds with slightly higher energy levels, where divination and prediction were possible, the Z烛昼hu Zhu there could only be caught between fighting and fleeing, dispelling curses and dodging divinations.

Honestly, if it hadn't been for the sudden sharing of a large wave of supernatural powers in the chat group some time ago, which upgraded the Z烛昼hu Zhu in the myriad worlds, then many Z烛昼hu Zhu might have had to follow Xingying's example in the past, self-destructing under the guidance of the Heavenly Devil Z烛昼hu Zhu, and then hiding only their soul bodies.

But even with the blessing of the group master, and the support of many supernatural powers for upgrading, the current situation of Z烛昼hu Zhu in many worlds is still very difficult.

Not to mention, the number of people chatting in the group has suddenly decreased by more than half.

"The Z烛昼hu Zhu Chat Group is the only special thing about me, and in essence, the Z烛昼hu Zhu Chat Group originates from the power of the group master, the 'Primordial Z烛昼hu Zhu'… No matter how unbelievable the remaining answer is, it is the true answer. If there are no accidents, it seems that having a direct connection with the 'Primordial Z烛昼hu Zhu' might be the reason why we are being hunted?"

Sitting in front of the starship's light screen, the white-haired girl pondered the subsequent route while muttering to herself: "But I am a little different—those people from Creation Dao said that I have secrets about the 'Forge of Creation'… Does the Z烛昼hu Zhu have secrets about the Forge of Creation, or am I special?"

"But, I myself can't feel anything special about myself that originates from the Forge of Creation. But it's strange, before I was born, the Forge of Creation hadn't nurtured other Celestial Mechanoid Gods for a long time, so the Titan Lord is so concerned about me…"

It wasn't that she couldn't find any suspicious points, but that there were too many suspicious points.

Although Xingying was indeed a naive and ignorant newborn Mechanoid God at the beginning, after a long period of education at the Beacon of Hope and life in the mortal world, her thinking became more and more agile.

It was a pity that Xingying had lost her physical body. Otherwise, she could have even deconstructed her Celestial Mechanoid God body to see if there were any special modules or structures.

"Sigh."

After thinking for a long time, Xingying could only sigh in the end. She propped her chin with both hands, feeling somewhat unhappy: "It seems that I can't continue to speculate without meeting the Primordial Z烛昼hu Zhu."

"Don't worry, Xingying."

Hearing her good friend's sigh, Shao Shuangyue, who was sitting next to her, patted the white-haired girl's shoulder in a carefree manner, and casually scratched the other's neck, causing Xingying to look up alertly with a 'yah': "What are you doing?"

"Seeing you unhappy, teasing you."

After laughing, the black-haired girl said seriously: "If there are no accidents, my brother should be coming to the World of Genesis soon—he should have finished his vacation and is now bored to death, looking for trouble."

"And even if he is very busy, if we really encounter an irresistible danger, then we will return to the Pioneer Space as soon as possible… You should be carrying the Pioneer Beacon I gave you, right?"

"Yes, it's on me."

Nodding slightly, Xingying took out a silver diamond-shaped crystal from her chest. She stared at the crystal, sensing the vast power contained within, and couldn't help but nod: "I'm not worried about our safety… I mainly want to understand the truth."

"Besides, Sister Shuangyue, even if your brother… that Primordial Z烛昼hu Zhu comes, he probably can't deal with the 'Harmony Dao Armament'!"

As the youngest generation of the Forge of Creation, and a rather favored Dragon of the Mandate, Xingying had received the blessing of the Master of the Forge of Creation, 'Soaring Titan·Androktos', the holder of the 'Harmony Dao Armament', during the time she was born. She had sensed that vast power, as vast as the endless stars gathered into one, even more vast than the starry sea. It was a power that was probably strong in the entire multiverse.

The Primordial Z烛昼hu Zhu, while powerful, was rare even in the multiverse. Even in high-level worlds like the Primeval World, it could be called the top tier, but it was not invincible.

Although Shao Shuangyue frowned slightly at this, she couldn't lose face. Moreover, this was indeed not something that needed to be particularly concerned about.

"The Harmony Dao Armament may not be enough, but look, Xingying, there are only fourteen Harmony Dao Armaments in the entire World of Genesis, or maybe not even fourteen."

She shook her head slightly, analyzing calmly: "Not to mention whether capturing Z烛昼hu Zhu requires the use of Overlord-level powerhouses, even if you and I are really that important, not all Harmony Dao Armaments want to capture Z烛昼hu Zhu—not to mention, isn't that Soaring Titan from the Forge of Creation your backer? If it weren't for the Forge of Creation and other God Systems confronting those God Systems that are chasing us, the people chasing us now would probably be not just a few Mechanoid Gods, but a few Lords of Creation!"

"And without the Harmony Dao Armament, my brother's arrival will definitely be a sweeping force!"

Seeing Shao Shuangyue's confident appearance, Xingying still had some doubts in her heart, but she couldn't directly refute her.

Moreover, she had also experienced the power of the Primordial Z烛昼hu Zhu.

Invincible below the Harmony Dao Armament might not be true… but indeed, if it was just to protect them from being captured, then at least several Lords of the Creation Machine God Realm would have to be dispatched to do it, right?

At this moment, the Flying Rainbow was flying in the star field of Equilibrium Dao.

The Ten Heavenly God Systems, the Four Forbidden Zones, each God System Forbidden Zone has its own sphere of influence. If one doesn't want to cause a war between the two God Systems, then generally speaking, Lords of the Creation Machine God level are not allowed to come and go at will, and it's not like Mechanoid Gods can enter and exit at will either. Every Mechanoid God is under the surveillance of the God System.

The main reason why Shao Shuangyue chose this place as an escape point was because she was more familiar with this place. After all, the Beacon of Hope had an old customer, that Dechimus's affectionate Mr. Nice Guy, who happened to have hooked up with a Lord of Creation of Equilibrium Dao some time ago, and incidentally helped the Beacon of Hope get the surrounding star maps and access rights.

Here, they naturally didn't have to worry about being besieged by other Lords.

However, it must be said that the situation in the star field governed by Equilibrium Dao was quite strange.

"It's very quiet… It's not like other star fields at all, with many civilizations' starships warping and hyperspace fluctuations… There hasn't been a trace of hyperspace within thousands of light-years."

Frowning, Shao Shuangyue stared at the starship's light screen, browsing the information within.

As the captain, she had been paying attention to the relevant information for a long time, but they had flown nearly tens of thousands of light-years, crossing half a galaxy, but they hadn't found any normal hyperspace warping phenomena.

If it were another star field, they would have to break into the territory of more than a dozen civilizations, be surrounded and intercepted by local armed forces, and then escape in the midst of tens of thousands of 'Locked on!' warnings—but this hadn't happened.

There were civilizations within the territory of Equilibrium Dao. Just now, the black-haired girl had sensed a detection wave, the technology was very high, and it was considered a quite powerful civilization—but they didn't take any action, but quietly watched the suspicious Flying Rainbow fly through their territory in a rather provocative arc, without even saying a word.

All the civilizations were very quiet.

Not only that, Shao Shuangyue also observed that there were a lot of 'Cosmic Star Beasts' inside the entire Equilibrium Dao star field.

Raising her head, the girl didn't even need to look at the light screen. From the starship's porthole, she could see that around the nearby star, there were countless shining masses of flesh flying up and down around the star's blazing wind. And on the surface of the star, there was a visible huge black shadow wriggling, coiling, and drawing energy from the star.

With Shao Shuangyue's specially enhanced eyes, she could clearly see the truth of the black shadow: It was a bright flame creature that also released light, but its light was slightly dimmer than the star's, so it was like a shadow entrenched on the star.

It looked very much like a starfish, with five huge serpent-like tentacles topped with five gemstone-like, space-warping crystals. And these crystals, with many facets and releasing brilliant light, were constantly devouring the star's energy, storing a steady stream of negative entropy in their bodies.

Cosmic Star Beast·Coelacanth, and its many follower beasts.

If Mechanoid Gods represent the personification of the wisdom of accumulated creation and inheritance, then Cosmic Star Beasts represent the highest peak of natural evolution.

Each Cosmic Star Beast is a unique super lifeform. Although they seem to lack self-awareness, they have extremely rich inherited knowledge. Based on biological quantum computer-level thinking centers, they can even process all kinds of special problems at a speed surpassing intelligent lifeforms, making the wisest judgments so that their lives and descendants can live forever in the universe.

Cosmic Star Beasts generally have a benign symbiotic relationship with stars. They will moderately deprive the star of a portion of its mass, but this will actually slow down the star's nuclear reaction and prolong its life.

And those stars that are too large and burn extremely quickly are the nests of Cosmic Star Beasts. They will build their nests there and eat the star that is about to reach the end of its life into a red dwarf star that will not cause a supernova explosion.

Some researchers even believe that Cosmic Star Beasts are just a 'natural phenomenon that looks like a living thing'.

And Shao Shuangyue was very familiar with this kind of creature—just another model of Star Eater.

"It's a good thing they don't have intelligence. If they really had intelligence, they would probably all become Twilight Servants…"

Muttering softly, Shao Shuangyue shook her head.

They were currently in a galaxy on the outermost periphery of the Equilibrium Dao's territory. This was obviously not safe enough. If they really wanted to be safe, according to the plan, they should cross an entire supercluster and reach the edge of the Equilibrium Dao's central control area.

[Careful, Shuangyue, there's an anomaly ahead!]

But after driving safely for a while, Shao Shuangyue and Xingying both heard an urgent warning: [A super-large-scale Cosmic Star Beast cluster has been detected ahead! Evacuate quickly!]

This was Funia's voice.

As one of the founders of the Beacon of Hope, Funia had broken through to the Overlord Realm some time ago—this was thanks to Su Zhou, because if Funia hadn't followed the youth to the Aean World and eaten a large batch of rewards, and completely resolved the red-haired beauty's knot, she would have had to wait a while before advancing.

As a practitioner of the Z烛昼hu Zhu Method, in a sense, Funia's mech could also be a Z烛昼hu Zhu. And in the World of Genesis, the mech is the body, so she is also a Z烛昼hu Zhu, and naturally also a member of the hunted.

Now, she was piloting her mech as the vanguard scout of the Flying Rainbow, guiding a safe route.

And now, Funia had obviously discovered something unexpected.

"What, what's going on?!"

Hearing the message from Funia, Shao Shuangyue was shocked, and Xingying also became nervous. The two gathered together to watch the video transmitted back by Funia.

Holding their breath, the light screen switched.

Then, they saw the endless 'river of light' that filled the entire observation lens, like an interstellar current!

In this river of light, every sparkling light point was a small star beast releasing light, and in this vast river of light, some individuals that were too large, almost like giant whales, could be vaguely seen. Those were giant star beasts that could devour stars and were comparable to Mechanoid Gods.

Millions of small star beasts, and dozens of large star beasts, were migrating peacefully, and above this imposing army, there was a powerful existence that was releasing dim light, silently overlooking everything, like a rancher driving a herd of cattle.

"This, this is a Creation Machine God?! A Lord of Equilibrium Dao!"

Compared to Shao Shuangyue, Xingying was more familiar with the forces of her hometown. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and gasp: "He is actually herding star beasts!"

But soon, with the vision of her former Mechanoid God, the Dragon Girl of the Mandate keenly discovered something wrong again.

"No, he is controlling the star beasts, chasing something!"

She immediately controlled the light screen to zoom in, and Xingying controlled her pupils to zoom in, eventually focusing on an inconspicuous spot of light: "It's here—this seems to be a star beast, but it's too far from the star beast herd at the back, and it's not the shape a normal star beast would have. It looks more like a biological starship!"

"The entire star beast cluster, and the Creation Machine God, are chasing this starship!"

Now, the situation was very embarrassing.

As one of the parties being hunted by other God Systems, Shao Shuangyue and others encountered another group of people being hunted.

And the positions of the two sides were very close on a cosmic scale.

One side wanted to get out of the control range of Equilibrium Dao, and the other side wanted to enter the depths of Equilibrium Dao's forces. The former was blocking the latter's path with a group of star beasts.

Currently, the situation of the Beacon of Hope was very embarrassing, because they couldn't go forward, and if they retreated, there were people chasing them from behind.

"Sister Shuangyue, what should we do?"

Turning her head, the white-haired Dragon God looked serious, waiting for the decision of the person with whom she had signed a contract.

"Run!"

As expected, Shao Shuangyue decisively made a very shameless choice: "Turn around immediately, we bypass this star field, let them continue to chase. We are not heroes who roar when we see injustice, just poor things who can't even protect ourselves. Avoid them!"

Without any hesitation, the Flying Rainbow immediately turned around, avoiding the orbit of the star beast herd and the fleeing starship.

The fleeing starship also seemed to have discovered the Flying Rainbow. Unexpectedly, it also turned slightly, avoiding the Flying Rainbow's trajectory, seemingly wanting to avoid involving innocent people.

"Oh, the people are quite nice, but who told you to be chased by a Heavenly Lord? We can't do anything either."

Noticing this detail, Shao Shuangyue couldn't help but nod, but her decision didn't change in the slightest: "Seeing you fly so fast, ordinary Heavenly Lords probably can't catch you, I hope you can escape."

This was a small interlude—the two sides should part ways like this, brushing past each other in the vast universe.

If so, naturally it would be best.

But obviously, some people didn't think so.

[Hmm…]

In the distance, perched above the star beast herd, the Steel Feather God, who was flashing gray-black light and looked like a mechanical divine bird, contracted his observation organs.

Since Funia and Shao Shuangyue and the others had noticed him, he had naturally also discovered the Flying Rainbow.

This Lord of Equilibrium Dao was silent and incomparable. Although the light around his body flickered, proving that his inner fluctuations were quite intense, he seemed to be thinking, wavering.

But soon, he made a decision: [Balance…]

He raised his wings. The silver steel feathers were solid, concise, and beautiful, and runes that seemed like life were flowing on them, causing brilliant spiritual light to condense and manifest in the void. And the space also swayed and twisted constantly with the condensation and dispersion of the spiritual light, eventually condensing into a slender spear.

But this was just the initial idea. Soon, as the spear dissipated like melting ice, the spiritual light transformed into a round array, but this was obviously not what this Lord wanted. So in the dazzling light, the formless spiritual essence eventually condensed into the shape of a cathedral bell.

This huge bell merely paused in the universe, causing the surrounding light to be refracted as if it had entered the water. The flames shining around it swirled like a river, and even tore out vertical and horizontal space cracks in the vacuum.

All transmission, warping, and hyperspace breakout completely failed in front of this giant bell that sealed everything.

Then, under the command of the Steel Feather Lord's waving wings, the giant bell disappeared and suppressed the rapidly departing Flying Rainbow in the distance.

At the same time.

A huge vortex appeared at the top of the Flying Rainbow.

When it first appeared, the people inside the starship hadn't noticed anything unusual, but with the appearance of extremely abnormal spiritual energy interference, which directly interrupted the Flying Rainbow's warp drive mode, even an idiot would know that something was wrong.

"Crap, that Lord is attacking us!"

Sensing this, Shao Shuangyue's expression sank. It was no use saying they were unlucky now. Logically speaking, the universe was so big, they couldn't just directly run into a Lord, but since they had run into one, they could only lament the strange attraction between troubles.

The girl could sense that the vortex at the top of the Flying Rainbow contained incredible power. Just a shockwave overflowed from it, swept across the starry sky, and directly shattered a quite large asteroid into powder.

And this was not the end. Soon, as the vortex gradually took shape, a huge spacetime depression—like a gravity well of a giant bell—completely enveloped them. This time, even if they were really traveling at the speed of light, it would be difficult to escape, because this vortex was still expanding, and soon formed a super-giant spacetime storm spanning several light-minutes.

The turbulent power completely captured the Flying Rainbow, and the weak inertial propulsion engine could no longer function. They were controlled in place by an unknown Equilibrium Dao Lord's divine power.

[What to do? Return to the Pioneer Space immediately?]

It was Funia who was speaking. She was piloting her mech alone and was not covered by this spacetime giant bell.

And her suggestion was also very practical—since there was no way to run, delaying time, then they might as well just return to the Pioneer Space.

Although this would interrupt all of the Beacon of Hope's plans, and Xingying would not be able to contact the high-level officials of the Forge of Creation to ask about her special features and learn the truth of the matter, the exploration process would be forcibly interrupted, but compared to more exploration and life in the future, choosing to return at this time was also wise.

A Lord, even if his divine power was outstanding, could not stop the transmission of the Pioneer Space without a cosmic artifact.

"Don't worry, wait a little longer. He doesn't intend to kill us, but to capture us… Interesting, he seems to want to capture us for other reasons, not like those pursuers behind, for the secrets of the Z烛昼hu Zhu?"

Shao Shuangyue bit her thumbnail, took a deep breath, and calmed down.

At the end of the day, she was Shao Qiming's sister, and had been following Su Zhou all along. The black-haired girl was somewhat overshadowed compared to her brothers, but now she could also stand on her own.

Soon, Shao Shuangyue made a decision: "Look at the situation, Xingying, cooperate with the power of the Flying Rainbow, can you break this spacetime barrier?"

"This Lord is just controlling us on the way while chasing his target. We will make an emergency warp immediately after breaking out, and he is likely not to follow!"

"…It's a bit difficult."

Exhaling, Xingying frowned and became solemn: "Creation Machine God… If I were in my prime, I could definitely break free from this casually-struck gravity well. Even a Heavenly Lord's strike, I might be able to block and escape."

"But now, even if I cooperate with the Flying Rainbow to perform a temporary Mechanoid God transformation, the output is still a bit lacking."

Shao Shuangyue was silent for a few seconds, then took off a necklace from her neck.

This was a very simple necklace. On the necklace, there was only a pure white, unremarkable scale.

With Shao Shuangyue's current strength, it was only natural to wear top-quality magical tools, or even artifacts, made by legendary mages, but the necklace she wore was so simple, and even the main material was an ordinary scale that had not been processed much.

Holding the scale, the black-haired girl closed her eyes, and then urged her spiritual power: "Adding the power of this… will definitely be able to break this prison, right?"

As she said this, Xingying, who couldn't see anything special about the scale, suddenly sensed that there was a terrifying power hidden extremely deep, but as vast as a star core, starting to fluctuate with the light that was rising little by little on the scale.

"This… this power, is the divine power of the Primordial Z烛昼hu Zhu!"

Opening her eyes wide, the white-haired Dragon Girl took the scale. She couldn't help but exclaim: "Is this the protective power that Sister Shuangyue's brother gave you? So powerful!"

"No."

But Shao Shuangyue's deep reply made Xingying stunned.

The white-haired Dragon Girl raised her head, looking at the black-haired girl. She saw her Sister Shuangyue reach out her hand, looking at her with a heavy and expectant gaze, and then patting her shoulder: "This is the power of self-destruction."

"Good luck, Xingying, I believe you have a lot of experience! (Thumbs up)"

"Huh?"

Completely not understanding what was going on, but soon, Xingying's expression changed drastically, because she sensed that the vast power contained in the scale was soaring rapidly at this moment, almost like a heavy atomic nucleus undergoing a chain reaction, rapidly reaching the threshold!

And after reaching the threshold, let alone Xingying, even a third-grade student who had received primary school education would probably know that something bad was going to happen!

"Ahhhh!!! You should have said so sooner!"

In an instant, Xingying's figure disappeared. The white-haired Dragon Girl flew out of the Flying Rainbow almost crying, and then flew towards the spacetime distortion point next to her: "Just because I'm a prosthetic, you let me self-destruct?! Damn it, although I do have a lot of experience…"

"This bastard woman!"

Xingying really didn't care much. She had learned the Heavenly Devil Lapis Lazuli Shattering Prohibiton, so she was better than others at protecting her soul in the energy torrent of self-destruction, and her current body was indeed a prosthetic, so she didn't feel bad about self-destructing.

The problem was, which brother would give his sister a glorious bullet for self-destruction!

Was the Primordial Z烛昼hu Zhu such a terrible person?!

The Primordial Z烛昼hu Zhu was indeed terrible, but he was not terrible to that extent.

Just as Xingying was holding the Immortal Dragon Scale that was shining brightly and seemed about to self-destruct and unfold, and arrived at the edge of the gravity well, the light reached its most brilliant moment.

In an instant, infinite power contracted, then exploded, and shot out a cross-star-like radiance, causing spacetime to wrinkle in layers.

At this moment, Xingying, Shao Shuangyue, and even the distant Funia and the fleeing Equilibrium Dao Lord and the mysterious starship, all heard a long dragon's roar, as if it came from the distant end of time and space, carrying an irresistible pressure and a solemnity that made people bow their heads.

Spacetime shattered at this instant—

Located in the center of the explosion of vast power, Xingying suddenly saw a phantom of a hand appearing in front of her. This hand had layers of delicate scales, and each scale had complex runes. These runes and scales crisscrossed each other, and then turned into this almost solid, radiant giant hand.

Without any other actions, the giant hand just raised a slender index finger, pointing to the gravity well.

The ultimate power exploded, penetrating all things.

At this instant, the invisible force broke through the gravity well that enveloped the entire Flying Rainbow. The divine force cage that was enough to temporarily imprison the light bent unnaturally, and then shattered, exploding and scattering like broken eggshells, turning into fireworks in the universe.

The Flying Rainbow was free, like a soap bubble being pierced and the imprisoned flying insect flying into the sky.

Xingying opened her eyes wide. She could indeed sense that this was Z烛昼hu Zhu, the power of Z烛昼hu Zhu!

Indeed, the level of this power was also at the Creation Machine God Realm, far from reaching the boundary of the Harmony Dao Armament, but merely its appearance, even if it was just a small piece of scale that contained the power, was a great power that ordinary Mechanoid Gods could not resist.

Even the Steel Feather Lord in the distance could not compare with it!

In the distance, the Equilibrium Dao Steel Feather Lord obviously realized this scene. His originally calm gaze fluctuated violently, looking in shock at the area he thought he had suppressed—and then, he witnessed with his own eyes his own gravity vortex shatter into pieces of flying light in the universe, like a delicate crystal vessel being smashed by a hammer.

[Who… is it?!]

He was so shocked that he didn't even have time to track the unknown starship, but before he could react, the giant hand moved again.

The power that Su Zhou left for his little sister, in addition to scaring her, naturally had other powers.

The giant hand closed three fingers, the index finger and thumb stretched out, making a gesture simulating a pistol.

Instantly, an invisible shockwave burst out from the tip of the giant hand's index finger. It was like a sunken ripple sweeping through spacetime, penetrating all distances in an instant, and blasting straight towards the Steel Feather Lord!

The Steel Feather Lord obviously sensed this attack, but he didn't have time to dodge. The Creation Machine God in the shape of a divine bird immediately felt a shock in his chest armor, and then a looseness, an emptiness. The entire divine body was penetrated, and then flew up uncontrollably.

And not only this Lord, the shockwave spread, and there were star beasts on the edge of the herded Heart Beast herd that were hit on the edge. Immediately, countless star beasts could be seen exploding nearby, and the waves rolled like a rising tide in the distance, lifting and blowing countless star beasts like sardines in the sea tide, directly scattering and disrupting the entire herd's formation.

[Unexpectedly… with one move…]

In the first instance, not having time to care about the herd, the Steel Feather Lord realized that his chest armor, or even the center of his body, had been completely penetrated.

If it was a life-and-death battle, he would probably have died once now.

Of course, Creation Machine Gods could be resurrected even if they died, but being directly killed in seconds like this was enough to show the difference between him and the other party.

[Retreat]

Without any hesitation, the Steel Feather Lord even followed his trajectory of being blown away, abandoning his star beast herd and directly turning around to flee, disappearing into the observable range in one breath and escaping into hyperspace.

And the star beast herd, after losing its rancher, naturally scattered like birds and beasts.

For a time, the star beast herd that originally covered the entire star field dispersed in this way, turning into scattered stars and fleeing in all directions, but none dared to stay in the original star field.

One hand, one finger, one move, repelling all the strong enemies.

Even the unknown starship that was escaping in the distance stopped, as if in shock, confusion, completely not understanding what had happened.

Not to mention them, except for Shao Shuangyue, who had a little premonition in her heart, everyone else was shocked into silence.

Soon, the radiant giant hand self-destructed—the brilliant light was like a river, erasing all traces of existence in the surrounding spacetime. The previous battle was as if it had never existed, and all clues disappeared.

[Silly sister, were you scared? Don't be in danger next time. I'll be in the World of Genesis soon. Pay attention to yourself]

It could be vaguely heard that in this vast torrent of light, there was such a voice that seemed to be smiling: [Don't stay in place. I already know your psionic wave characteristics and will go to find you later]

"…Ha, haha."

Laughing dryly, after listening to this message, Shao Shuangyue couldn't help but wipe a handful of sweat, and then her voice immediately became cheerful: "In short, the trouble is solved. Being startled is not a big problem at all!"

Muttering to herself, she shook her head, calmed down, and prepared to see the surrounding situation.

Having offended a Mechanoid God of Equilibrium Dao, even a Creation Machine God, they probably couldn't continue to stay in place and needed to transfer to other areas as soon as possible. Who knew if the Lord who was beaten away would bring reinforcements back?

However, just as Shao Shuangyue was preparing to observe the star map and decide on the subsequent route, she suddenly discovered that the unknown starship that was previously being chased was approaching them and constantly sending friendly signals.

"This is…"

Raising her head, Shao Shuangyue looked at the location of the nameless starship with some doubt.

Then, she was slightly stunned.

Because the style of that nameless starship was very familiar to her.

It was actually a divine tree starship!
