Chapter 794 Invincible (7600)

The great existence, [Miracle].

The creator of the Great Seal, the indirect creator of the Multiverse Seal, the side currently holding the advantage in the Correct War, and seemingly the one with a chance of achieving final victory.

His power is one of the roots of the Celestial Scale's essential power, His Dao is omnipresent, and the original 'Spiritual Energy Revival' was recognized by many later civilizations as the beginning of the 'Era of Miracles'.

Although He has never appeared, except for the World of Creation, which was clearly created to simulate the 'Correct War', there are hardly any pure Miracle dependents to be seen – the Cenostians are half, perhaps – but like water to fish and wind to birds, miracles are always necessary.

Su Zhou has seen many 'Corrects', [Chaos], [Existence], [Continuation], [Reincarnation], [Perfection], [Destiny], [Exploration], [Nothingness]... He has experienced them all. Although they have their flaws, they are indeed worthy of the name 'Correct'.

Therefore...

Su Zhou was curious, more curious than anyone else, and wanted to know what kind of brilliance [Miracle], the existence who sealed all known great existences, could unleash. A brilliance that could illuminate even the twilight of Dusk, that even the light of the Twin Divine Trees must yield to, that even Balance and Yala were sealed by, and even began to contemplate their own mistakes.

He wanted to know, and now he could.

So, Su Zhou reached out and touched that divine intent.

In an instant, everything around him began to change dramatically, as if time and space were reversing, or as if a temporary small world was being created and then plunged into nothingness.

In a flash, everything the soul could perceive became dim.

Illusions arose from this.

A humanoid figure, formed of cyan-purple light, walked on the black abyss.

This was a silent void where even time had not begun to flow, a source realm where space did not exist. Apart from the meaningless 'Nothingness' and 'Existence', there was no other 'Correct' to speak of.

Just like the Pan-Infinite Multiverse Derivation Axis, initially, there was only the existence of nothingness, and existence was also infinitely empty. These existences located at the two poles of the axis were the foundation of all subsequent 'Corrects'. If one could not answer their questions, could not prove the significance of one's Dao to the myriad beings of the infinite multiverse, then one could never become 'Correct'.

Even though he was only a Celestial Venerable now, not yet having merged with the Dao, let alone the subsequent Torrent and Transcendence, Su Zhou had already thought about how to answer the questions of the Divine Tree and Dusk.

"The birth and existence of all things and beings are meaningless. Whether it is stopping time, reversing its flow, or even creating eternal and immortal civilizations, they are all destined to be met by chaos. They may decay, perish, collapse, or even be crushed by stronger beings, until the end of the end, a place of nothingness that even ending cannot describe – all of these are but phantom bubbles."

"But existence itself surpasses nothingness. It has nurtured life and wisdom, created civilization and heritage. It has allowed bubble-like lives to build castles of sand, and from the castles of sand, it has nurtured gem-like treasures. Transcendents are born from this."

"It is like a flame. It ignites, illuminates the darkness, brightens for a moment. Even if it is extinguished in the future, and time and space remain dark and cold, how can one say that the brief brightness is not worth remembering?"

As he said this, Su Zhou's soul walked forward, across the dark abyss.

He spread his arms, and cyan flames fluttered around him, with small, flickering sparks circling his body.

"Now, there are many kinds of flames that use existence as fuel to illuminate the darkness of nothingness, emitting eternal and ceaseless light."

Walking forward, the young man calmly narrated his Dao: "And I want to make the flames burn brighter, to make them last longer, to improve the way they burn. I want to make all the light clearer and more pleasant, to make the scorching flames that burn human bodies gentle, to turn them into starlight in the sky."

"This is the meaning of innovation. All things and beings need me. Since bubbles are not content to be just bubbles forever, then I will strengthen their hearts, fortify their will. I will enact my Dao for them, without beginning or end."

Although this voice was not loud, it spread throughout the universe.

Nothingness and existence were silent. This answer was not a declaration from a transcendent. Although it resonated and caught their attention, it was only a gaze.

But a gaze was enough.

Because, soon after, Su Zhou heard a voice.

[Combat]

A low, indifferent voice echoed throughout all existence: [Combat]

In the Pan-Infinite Multiverse Derivation Axis, the birth and death of the multiverse have no known origin, and no origin can be measured. The birth of life in these multiverses is not 'destined', but an accident that no one knows, and only after much difficulty does it nurture more seeds, propagating wisdom and civilization.

[This is combat] This voice stated, as certain as if it were the truth.

Civilizations face an unknown universe, exploring in the unknown, advancing in chaos. They strive for perfection, grasp balance. These beings exist in the world in thousands of forms, thriving, multiplying, and continuing endlessly, but even so, they are destined to face the end of destiny – but they still live, and even the end is merely a prelude to a new creation.

[This is combat] The voice continued, without the slightest hesitation.

A baby is born, he is picked up by medical staff and placed in his mother's arms, then embraced by his father. He is loved by his family and grows up normally, learning and growing with his friends, becoming an excellent adult, living a happy life, and then, together with his wife, conceiving the next generation, finally passing away peacefully surrounded by his children and grandchildren.

[This is combat] But the voice still said this, without any change, as if that happy and fulfilling scene was a completely different sight in His eyes.

But this is the 'Correct' Path.

A baby is born, he must fight against nothingness, he must fight against the whole world. He must fight against the cold air, fight against the amniotic fluid that obstructs his nose and mouth. He must fight against those germs, the accidents of childhood, and then he can grow up smoothly, then he must have conflicts with other people, compete, and fight with them in knowledge, thought, morality, and emotional intelligence to become an adult.

Afterwards, he must fight against love rivals, fight against competitors. He must also represent human civilization and fight with his children, instilling morality and knowledge, so that he can lead them to grow up, rather than allowing the instincts of natural apes to triumph.

Even the Taiji of nothingness and existence is itself a battle.

There is nothing that is not combat.

[Everything is combat]

[Heart, Soul, Body, Intent]

[Dao, Techniques, Skills, Arts]

[Whether it is wisdom, self, future, or hope, or even the final miracle]

[All are the spoils of war for the beings who persevere in fighting]

Although this voice was low and indifferent, it was not aloof. It merely stated a truth: [Since the beginning of existence, the eternal combat has begun, and the fruit concluded after countless combats is the 'Miracle'.]

[Innovation... is also a combat, a struggle with oneself. The next moment is better than this moment, and only by defeating oneself can it be done]

All illusions disappeared, all voices vanished.

Su Zhou's soul returned to the void once again.

Immediately afterwards, he sensed the essence of the Supreme Divine Power, [Eternal Battle Body].

The initial practice of this divine power, [Eternal Battle Body], requires one to strip away all of one's 'adaptability', even discarding the 'native resident' imprint of this universe, leaving only the purest trace of primordial spirit, residing in the void of the universe, using one's purest spiritual breath to maintain one's existence as a mind.

Breathing is combat, thinking is combat.

Action is combat, and communication is also combat.

Every moment of existence requires energy to be seized from the outside world, one must combat the universe and the void in order to obtain the spoils of war for one's survival.

Those who have practiced the Eternal Battle Body have basically abandoned all innate endowments. Even the weakest slime can practice it.

The most important thing is the heart to persevere in combat, to fight eternally.

Place oneself in the most adverse and terrifying scenarios, and then defeat them all. From the most humble beginnings, gradually create the most powerful battle body. When the practitioner of this method cultivates to the point where they can once again freely step into any universe without fear of any backlash from the universe, and naturally defeat the rejection of all universes, and can freely enter and exit any time and space, or even their own body, and a self-sufficient small world has been nurtured, then that is the manifestation of the result of this Supreme Divine Power.

The three colors of silver, red, and black within the flames expounded this great truth – and it is precisely one of the Supreme Divine Powers held by the Fairy Country and the Origin Point of Contradiction, the entire Vortex of Conflict!

This is also why the Vortex of Conflict must occupy the outer universe void, because if the Steel Giants want to enter the 'Eternal Battle Body', they must stay in the void for a long time, reshaping their battle bodies from spiritual particles bit by bit.

"Damn it."

Seeing this, Su Zhou, who had been holding his breath and concentrating, finally couldn't hold back anymore. He complained: "Are you sick? To be reborn from the brink of death might make some sense, but this cultivation method is basically declaring war on the whole world after just finishing the tutorial!"

"Just starting to practice, and you have to abandon all innate endowments, and then start from scratch, fighting against heaven and earth... Isn't this just forcibly looking for enemies? Heaven and earth don't want to fight with you at all, heaven and earth are innocent!"

"And what do you mean by innovation is also a combat – combat is a kind of innovation, more like it! Who is so obsessed with combat that they see everything as combat?!"

At first, Su Zhou felt that the Dao of [Miracle] made sense, or rather, it made a lot of sense. That indomitable spirit, constantly overcoming all obstacles, was truly the aura of miracle, truly vast and torrential, like a downpour that washes away everything, filling all existence. It was truly a 'Correct' Path in the most proper sense.

But the further he went, the more Su Zhou felt that something was wrong...

No, do you really have to fight through everything?!

Is it that you dependents have comprehended it incorrectly, or is the Dao of Miracle·Conflict really like this?

"Hahahaha, as expected, the average person can't accept that guy Miracle's 'Correct Path'!"

[Fighting with oneself, never being able to reconcile with oneself, one must abandon all comfort zones and go to the most difficult places for extreme challenges. This has nothing to do with existence, it's simply fighting for the sake of fighting]

[Yes, and if you're not careful, you'll fight yourself into losing your successors. It's difficult for such an organization to grow and flourish...]

Immediately, the three great existences let out mocking laughter.

"But I like it very much."

However, just as the voices of these three great existences on Su Zhou's body had not yet fallen, they heard the youth's praise: "Although I've always been thinking, 'Can't we just talk things out and reason?', but when I think about it carefully, doesn't every proper enemy have their own reason? And can you reason with great existences?"

"Everyone is logically self-consistent, what's the use of arguing? It's better to just fight – [Miracle] has really grasped the fundamental contradiction. Since there's no way to reason, then just seal them."

"Although I feel that the Vortex of Conflict is practicing a little bit incorrectly, I can also take its essence and supplement my Dao."

Twin Divine Trees/Yala: [?]

So everything has its merits, right?

It must be said that the Eternal Battle Body inheritance, as a Supreme Cultivation Method, does indeed have its powerful and unique aspects.

Let's not talk about the difficulty, which is basically like finishing the beginner's tutorial and then being told to control three corvettes to destroy two awakened empires fighting a war in heaven. Just in terms of intent and effect, it's actually very good.

No matter what kind of divine power inheritance, especially the Supreme Inheritance directly from a great existence, there are some unique special effects. For example, Yala's time-based and chaos-based inheritances can disrupt time and space causality, causing people to fall into chaos and distortion. In its heyday, the Horn of Time could even directly manipulate the flow of time, constantly transmitting future information, choosing the future without any restrictions.

Even now that it has been weakened, the power of the Horn of Time is still enough to be called a Great Inheritance. After all, suddenly receiving an 'Apocalypse' from time to time, knowing the future trend, is much stronger than the 'Demonstration of End' that can only see one's own demise.

Of course, the Demonstration of End can also see how enemies die, but that's a different story.

But the Eternal Battle Body is different – if it is truly cultivated from the most humble beginnings, then it can directly exempt itself from all the influences of various 'Correct' Paths and Daos.

Time? I fight! Karma? I fight! Reincarnation? I fight!

Destined ending? I love fighting against destruction and doom the most!

Because from the beginning of cultivation, they fight against everything, the Eternal Battle Body is extremely sensitive to the essence of the Dao. It can easily distinguish any abnormalities, any illusions, and any attacks targeting the soul and will are useless. Attempts to distort the truths of the universe to target these combat machines are completely meaningless, because they have regarded the truths of the universe as objects of combat from the beginning. It doesn't matter whether it's distorted or not, anyway, they will beat down both normal and abnormal truths.

Su Zhou doesn't have such a strong desire to fight, after all, he is a young man who doesn't contend with the world.

But the Eternal Battle Body did give him inspiration for cultivating the Mech God Method.

"My Flame of Evolution, in essence, is to collect various divine intents of the Dao, and derive and improve corresponding divine power based on the situation – in other words, to derive the flesh and blood techniques of a divine power."

"But it doesn't have a skeleton yet – passively enduring enemy attacks, enduring damage, and then deriving counterattack methods based on the damage, it really lacks subjective kinetic energy... But the Eternal Battle Body is different."

The subjective kinetic energy of the Eternal Battle Body is simply explosive, it's simply the best skeleton module.

Tell me, whose purpose in cultivation, or even the prerequisite cultivation conditions, is to fight all the way, to fight eternally?

And evolution and derivation in combat is indeed a righteous path!

[I can see your purpose, Primordial Candle Sun]

In the void, noticing that Su Zhou had comprehended one of the supreme divine powers of the Vortex of Conflict, Klooey, the Domain Lord of Contradiction, nodded slightly. He was a majestic but gentle elder, and always generous in giving guidance to allies: [You and those Founding Dao guys are the same, you want to 'Unify the Myriad Daos', integrate the Ten Celestial Systems, and even the power of our Four Forbidden Zones]

[However, they intend to create a Unique God, to create a powerful existence of the Torrent Realm, and then open a new path, but you are more pragmatic, you just want to be inclusive, to create a cultivation method with many possibilities]

Klooey's statement was one hundred percent correct, this was indeed Su Zhou's purpose.

Perfecting the Flame of Evolution, this Mech God Body cultivation method, was Su Zhou's purpose. The reason he had provoked the Ending Mentor of the Termination Dao before, even at the cost of personally enduring the attack of the Merged Dao Armament Projection, to leave a mark, was precisely in order to obtain the divine intent of the Termination Dao in this way.

After all, compared to a Creation Machine God condensing their divine thoughts, condensing divine intents of the Dao, directly facing the impact of the Merged Dao Armament can better understand the essence of a divine system – and with the current power of the Ten Celestial Systems, a portion of pure divine intent can even be extracted during a battle with a Merged Dao powerhouse, as if it directly originated from a Great Existence.

Just like just now, the divine intent jointly created by the Fairy Queen and the Domain Lord of Contradiction even contained a trace of the essence of 'Miracle'.

Su Zhou will fight through everything in the future, melting all the Daos into one... but he is not doing it to forge the Unique.

"I just want to give all beings more choices."

Raising his head, Su Zhou looked at the two Merged Dao powerhouses on the other side of the void. He was not afraid of the surging divine power on their bodies, but said with a smile: "In the World of Creation, all things and beings can become gods, becoming a member of the Ten Celestial Systems. This is already a good enough choice."

"But can it really only be limited to the Ten Celestial Systems? If someone, like me, wants to walk their own path, then how can they eliminate the influence of the Ten Celestial Systems?"

Shaking his head, Su Zhou said earnestly: "It can't be eliminated, because they are the truth, the objective facts of the universe."

"However, it doesn't need to be eliminated in the first place – as long as anyone, after understanding the Daos of the Ten Celestial Systems, has the thought of 'I think it can be better' in their heart... they will embark on their own path."

"My cultivation method will contain the Daos of the Ten Celestial Systems and the Four Forbidden Zones – the Myriad Manifestation Burial Ground doesn't count, I will create a true Dusk cultivation method. In short, it will be the foundation of all Daos, which can connect all cultivation methods, and can go further on its own."

Su Zhou turned his head to look at the World of Creation, the icy blue world barrier shining with a brilliance like fireworks. He said softly: "It doesn't necessarily have to be the same as me, walking the path of innovation... I am just a seed, a cause. The Flame of Evolution is a popular cultivation method, and it only needs to be a popular cultivation method, integrating the Daos of all divine systems, so that everyone can understand the advantages and disadvantages of these Daos, and then make their own choices."

"Just like the initial spark, after igniting the fire in everyone's heart, it can retire."

"It is such a cultivation method."

[But they may still choose the Ten Celestial Systems]

Ercore thought for a while, and the Fairy Queen said: [After all, the path of the Ten Celestial Systems is clear and stable, and there are successful precedents, and there are many fellow Daoists to help]

[You go to great lengths to create your fundamental Mech God Method, which is essentially helping the Ten Celestial Systems, and even helping us select better seeds – is that really okay?]

"So what?"

But Su Zhou didn't care: "Aren't you the 'Correct' Path? Would choosing the Ten Celestial Systems humiliate any genius? Isn't what I'm doing also the 'Correct' Path?"

"I have never acted for my own benefit, but for the benefit of all beings."

He raised his head and stared at the two Merged Dao powerhouses in front of him, saying each word clearly: "The Ten Celestial Systems, the Four Forbidden Zones, the Merged Dao powerhouses, are also all beings."

[...]

The Fairy Queen opened her mouth slightly, but did not make a sound.

Indeed, even Merged Dao powerhouses... are also all beings.

Whether it is being high above or excluded, all are wrong choices.

This powerhouse and the Domain Lord of Contradiction beside him both showed approving expressions.

Indeed, if the Flame of Evolution is really as Su Zhou said, such a cultivation method... then it is more than just 'Correct'. If he succeeds, then the Ten Celestial Systems will actively help him popularize it.

Even among them, there may be a few who are unwilling to follow the path of the Ten Celestial Systems and turn to follow the path of the Candle Sun, or even their own path.

But so what?

Their gains are greater than before, and they do have enough tolerance, and even welcome the new 'Candle Sun Divine System'.

The intersection of 'Correct' and 'Correct' may not only be about 'dueling to find out who is most correct', but may also be about 'both sides becoming more correct'.

As long as everyone thinks you are right, then they will help you, there is no need to fight at all.

Then, one becomes invincible.

This is the plan that Su Zhou decided to implement after traveling through the World of Creation and witnessing the actions of many gods.

[Being able to help you may also be a kind of combat]

At this moment, Klooey truly sized up Su Zhou's side carefully, as if looking at an object worthy of combat.

Then, he turned his head and returned to the engine core of the Halting War Giant God, but the voice of the Merged Dao powerhouse still sounded, with a hearty laugh: [Fighting against the inherent system and thinking of the World of Creation... haha, that's really good]

[Good luck!] And Ercore also returned to the cyan jewel on top of the Giant God's head. His words were much simpler: [Next, we're going to see what those guys in the Myriad Manifestation Burial Ground are doing. Other fairies will help you with what follows!]

After saying that, the Halting War Giant God turned around, decisively and cleanly.

This Merged Dao Armament, which was even larger than ordinary worlds, stirred up endless turbulence of time and space, and disappeared into the distant end of time and space.

"The Vortex of Conflict... watching over the World of Creation from outside the world?"

And Su Zhou gazed at their departing backs, and then turned around: "I don't know if this is a naturally formed pattern, or 'Creation' deliberately imitating it."

"However, as of now, with the divine intent I have collected, it is enough to start forging the Merged Dao Armament."

This battle with the Ending Mentor was very beneficial to Su Zhou.

It was not just that trace of Ending Divine Intent, but more importantly, Su Zhou personally experienced the Merged Dao powerhouse's ability to control the fundamental constants of the universe.

If the power of a Celestial Immortal is enough to be the master of several planetary systems, then the power of a Celestial Venerable can roam both inside and outside a galaxy.

But even so, it is still just within a galaxy. No matter how powerful, it is nothing more than catching stars and taking the moon, at most moving galaxies, arranging them into star formations, just like the Creation Machine Gods of the Jade Balance Path who spend thousands of years arranging most of the stars in a galaxy to form some of the meridians of an Eternal Moving Star God.

Even if they are immortal, can be called venerables and ancestors, exist independently of the universe and are indestructible, and even create their own small worlds.

However, wanting to influence the structure of the universe with one's own strength is as difficult as ascending to heaven.

But Merged Dao is different.

"Merged Dao powerhouses, their power is the power of the universe... If you want to move a star, you only need to 'think', you don't need to do it yourself."

"If it is within one's own domain, one only needs to think 'the stars should be arranged like this', then the stars will be arranged like that, without much effort at all – the gap with Celestial Venerables is simply two different worlds. It is not a simple difference in energy and physical body, but a fundamental difference in skill!"

Su Zhou stretched out his hand, he tore apart the turbulence of time and space, and opened a space-time rift leading to his personal space.

At the same time, he recalled the various details of his previous encounter with Professor Herandi: "The Ending Mentor didn't attack me very seriously at that time. He just wanted to have a sword that could actually hurt me. The teeth formed by the Quantum Black Star had already taken shape. The universe was echoing their thoughts."

"No wonder the will of the universe said that the Merging Dao of the Merged Dao powerhouse is simply like brainwashing the universe. It's really not wrong. This power of thought creating Daos and the arising of divine powers following the heart is a huge level difference compared to me, who still needs to carefully operate spiritual power and divine powers."

"However..."

Su Zhou lowered his head at this moment, staring at his own small world.

The Tree of Wisdom, the Blade of Extinction, the World Tree Spear, Sara, and the soul of Tengshe are all doing their own things in it at this moment.

The youth's gaze was just a slight glance, and it slightly changed the structure of the entire world, slightly adjusting the spiritual veins, making them more balanced and free.

With just this one glance, the brilliance of the entire personal space became more surging, the spiritual energy surged like a tide, and even the boundaries of the world expanded slightly, far from the end.

During the whole process, Su Zhou hardly used any power, it was all the personal space operating on its own, absorbing the energy of the surrounding void.

He smiled slightly: "Yala, Scale of Receiving the World, your Supreme Divine Power is indeed amazing – I am only half a step into the Merged Dao realm, and my personal space has already shown a preliminary reaction."

"Now, with just one thought, I can transform all things in my personal space... In my world, I am almost equivalent to a Merged Dao powerhouse."

"My inheritance is indeed powerful."

The voice of the Serpent Spirit sounded faintly: "But this is only because everything in the personal space, whether it is time, space, or truth, originates from your initial creation and continuous improvement, so you can achieve techniques like Merged Dao with your current realm."

"But in the final analysis, it's just a small world after all. You didn't create the great universe, the energy and time and space are all natural, and the truth constants are also the same. Becoming a Merged Dao powerhouse of such a great universe, or even a Merged Dao powerhouse with all the heavens as one, that's a completely different feeling."

"Therefore, in the Sealed Universe, Merged Dao is called Dao Creator – only after creating a new Dao for the entire universe and all beings, and even for the universe, does Merged Dao have the divine might to sweep across the universe." And Su Zhou nodded, he took it for granted: "You only get what you give, I naturally understand."

"It seems you really understand." Yala's voice carried a smile, but soon sighed: "Miracle... sigh, Miracle..."

Repeating this word, he fell silent again.

And the Twin Divine Trees also fell silent, without making a sound.

Su Zhou sensed the complex emotions in Yala's heart at this moment.

But after all, he is not a Great Existence, let alone Yala, so naturally he doesn't understand the complex feelings of the other party about the existence who sealed him.

Now is not the time to think about these things.

Su Zhou lowered his head and continued to stare at his personal space.

"Merged Dao..." he muttered to himself: "Thinking about it carefully, I don't need to find another planet and then catalyze it into a 'Heavenly Evolution River' at all."

"I can completely find a few planets, then crush them and put them into my personal space, reorganize the world, and carry out the plan."

Didn't have time to finish writing ten thousand words, I'll try to update earlier tomorrow!
