Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 5 Pioneer Market (5000)
The changes in the World of Genesis are basically confirmed.
Even the Twin Divine Trees are suspicious and preparing to hitch a ride to see what's going on. That's proof enough.
Su Zhou doesn't mind this at all.
Although it will make it difficult for others to teleport him, and it's a bit of a hassle to enter and exit the Pioneer Space each time.
But besides that, everything else is beneficial.
Think about it. If someone wanted to use insidious tricks like prophecy, mind control, curses, or soul possession on him... First of all, let's not talk about whether the other party's power can break through the increasingly terrifying power of the golden light of vows around Su Zhou.
The power of the Twin Divine Trees alone would probably directly activate the curse power, turning it into a sturdy Curse Sprite, and then, with a merciless stride, physically curse the person who cast the curse.
Just thinking about it makes him quite expectant.
"Let's go, let's set off."
After raising his head and roughly understanding the reason for the anomaly on his body, Su Zhou also seemed much more relaxed—in fact, after learning that the Pioneer couldn't pull him, he had been troubled, wondering if his true form was too large or something.
Now it seems, it was all the Twin Divine Trees' fault!
That's alright then.jpg
"Ah, yes, Your Excellency."
Naturally, Dechimus didn't understand at all what the narration in his personal space was all about earlier.
But with his intelligence, he could understand that there were two equally powerful beings who had made a pact with Su Zhou and came to the Pioneer Space with him.
Now, he was staring blankly at his floating island, which was blooming with colorful colors, and muttered to himself.
"Strange, I didn't plant so many flowers... They're quite beautiful. If Chris could come back, she would definitely be very happy..."
Su Zhou smiled slightly. He didn't explain to Dechimus that these flowers and plants were the fare paid to him by the two great beings. Perhaps it would be a surprise when he discovered how rare these colorful plants were.
After exchanging some common sense about the Pioneer Space, the two left Dechimus' personal space.
It felt no different from Su Zhou using the Heavenly God Scale to transfer from one world to another. After a flash of spiritual light, the two appeared in an exceptionally vast space, endless in front and behind, like a passage.
"The Pioneer Space itself is these endless linear spaces in the multiverse. Our personal spaces and team spaces are attached to this line, and the market world used for specialized transactions and gatherings needs to be teleported to again."
The brown-haired mage explained to Su Zhou. In the entire passage space, in addition to him and Su Zhou, there were thousands of people walking back and forth, hurrying, suddenly disappearing and suddenly appearing.
These people were all adventurers belonging to the same 'exploration line' as Dechimus. To put it simply, it was the same district. Some of them had hazy figures, as if the light around their bodies was distorted. Those were explorers who had applied to the Pioneer Space for a service to conceal their figures. Those who didn't conceal their figures were all old acquaintances. Most of them had explored and completed tasks together in various worlds.
At both ends of this linear space, there were several time-space gates releasing bright light of different colors. The most conspicuous was the silver, black, and red tricolor time-space gate.
Su Zhou narrowed his eyes slightly. With his extremely rich experience in traversing, he could see that the black time-space gate required quite high authority to pass through, while the red time-space gate connected to other areas of the Pioneer Space, and the silver time-space gate led to a densely populated area.
Dechimus' subsequent introduction also provided Su Zhou with detailed answers to related questions: "The silver time-space gate leads to 'Market World · Utopia', which is a strange world that doesn't look very big, but can actually hold countless people; while the red time-space gate leads to other Pioneer districts. Generally speaking, it's not necessary, because you can find people from other districts by going to the Market World, but I occasionally use it to visit friends."
"As for the black one... that's a 'special world teleportation gate' that only recently appeared. Generally speaking, if you want to travel back to a mission world you've experienced in the past, you only need to apply to the Pioneer Space, but some powerful, unique worlds in the entire multiverse can only be traversed through this time-space gate."
"The World of Genesis we are going to is such a world."
"I see, the Primordial World teleportation gate?"
Su Zhou stared at the time-space gate and nodded knowingly: "Even the Heavenly God Scale can't directly teleport to the Primordial World. I have to fly there every time. Now it seems that the Pioneer's power in this regard is still stronger than the Heavenly God Scale."
After all, it is the power of a Great Being. Merely a fragment of the Great Seal cannot compare.
"Your Excellency, before going to the World of Genesis, I need to buy some supplies in the market. If you want anything, I'll pay for it!"
Dechimus led Su Zhou towards the silver teleportation gate. He felt quite confident when he said the words 'pay'.
It's no wonder he was confident.
As one of the top overlord-level explorers in the Pioneer Space, he had already reached the edge of the 'Pioneer Mission' three years ago. As long as he successfully returned from exploring the Primordial World, he could participate in the Pioneer Mission and try to obtain that title.
However, because his lover Chris was captured by the Ten Heavenly God Systems, he had a grudge against the World of Genesis. Since then, he had refused all team invitations and concentrated on exploring the World of Genesis alone, even putting aside the task of becoming a Pioneer.
Over the years, he had indeed accumulated a lot of wealth. His ability to take out two SS-level development permissions in one go was enough to prove the abundance of his savings. He had really made complete preparations.
Su Zhou nodded slightly. Since he had made up his mind to help Dechimus, he would naturally not be polite in this regard—in theory, to hire a Celestial Venerable to take action, the mage would not have enough even if he sold himself and his entire fortune, but he was just doing it out of interest and didn't care about this trivial matter.
After another flash, Su Zhou and Dechimus arrived in a sunny and fresh world.
The Trade World · Utopia has undergone several upgrades and reconstructions by the Pioneer Space. Although the interior looks similar to the past, the essence of the world is actually no longer the same as before. Su Zhou sensed it the moment he stepped on this land. The huge spiritual power overflowing from his body was gently caught by a gentle force and returned to his body, ensuring that his power would not affect others.
"Interesting."
Raising his head, Su Zhou looked around at the surrounding scenery with great interest—he could see countless parks and leisure areas spreading all over the world, centered on trading stations. Hundreds of thousands of Pioneer adventurers were like bees surrounding a hive, going in and out of the towns, sometimes new people appeared, and sometimes people disappeared.
The atmosphere of the entire Trade World was very harmonious, because the Pioneer acted as the most impartial arbitrator and appraiser. It was impossible to buy fake goods here. All transactions were completed between the two parties without deception, and almost everything was available.
According to Dechimus' introduction, in the Trade World, explorers could use keywords to search for the goods they wanted to buy, and vendors would also label their items, so there were various people teleporting in and out, because they were actually constantly traveling to various places, going to shops to buy the supplies they wanted.
"What about these people walking?"
After hearing this, Su Zhou looked at the bustling crowd with great interest: "Since you can teleport directly to the store, why do you still walk?"
"Because of walking." Dechimus honestly replied: "This is not only a Trade World, but also a relaxing entertainment area. All the delicacies and entertainment methods of the myriad worlds are available—look at those people walking over there, they are all here to taste exotic food from other worlds and then take a walk to digest it."
That was indeed the case.
After seeing a vampire passing by a nearby path, drinking coconut juice under the shade of a tree with a contented expression, Su Zhou understood.
——The Pioneer's dependents are really living comfortably.
While watching the current situation of the Pioneer Market World and the various races of the myriad worlds, Su Zhou followed Dechimus through various shops with great interest. There were minotaurs selling primitive totem poles, and oriental divine birds selling their own bird feathers. As for those selling magic scrolls, pills, and magical instruments and treasures, there were even more of them.
Su Zhou even saw seven or eight fairies playing cards in a teahouse, while more fairies formed a rather large light group to watch, and he could vaguely hear sounds like 'Your health is already flickering in the wind!' 'Watch me, draw a card!'—and then there were huge cheers, and the sound of buying cards and opening card packs.
Many people think that Pioneer explorers are already very hardworking when exploring, having to complete tasks and deal with enemies, and after returning to the Pioneer Space, they only have a small personal space. They are simply an exploited class.
Su Zhou wants to clarify the rumors here: Pioneer explorers themselves really like exploring, the mission world is very enjoyable, and after returning to the Pioneer Space, not only do they have a big house to live in, but they are also very comfortable in terms of enjoyment!
The premise is that you are really a dependent of the Pioneer and genuinely like exploring.
Otherwise, high-intensity otherworldly exploration, constantly fighting wits and courage with the local natives, can easily lead to mental breakdown.
Dechimus kept teleporting, buying various extraordinary supplies in various worlds. Su Zhou roughly looked at them. They were all kinds of extraordinary metals and special catalysts. If he didn't know better, he would have thought he was going to forge a magical weapon.
In fact, it was not much different.
"This is a part of the materials prepared for forging my 'Spirit Machine Divine Body' in the World of Genesis."
Noticing Su Zhou's gaze, Dechimus nodded with a smile. He showed Su Zhou the mithril orihalcum alloy in his hand: "The inheritance of the World of Genesis is one of the highest inheritances I have seen in many worlds. From mortals to the Dao Integration Realm, there are corresponding levels. It is said that once, the strongest person in that world was expected to reach the 'Torrent' Realm."
"Although they failed in the end for various reasons, it can also prove its vast potential. And most importantly, the Spirit Machine Body lineage can be compatible with all inheritances. The most core point is nothing more than forging a brand new 'Divine Body' for yourself. This should be very familiar to you who practice the True Body Method, right?"
"Indeed."
Raising his eyebrows, Su Zhou didn't quite understand what the Spirit Machine Divine Body system was like, but according to the description, it was indeed very similar to the True Body.
However, compared to the True Body that needs to rely on bloodline or other factors, this Spirit Machine Body is essentially the cultivator's own unique body created according to themselves—True Bodies may have the same ones. True Dragons, Phoenixes, Golden Crows, and Black Tortoises are mostly similar, although the details vary.
It's also like Zhuzhou. Although everyone can be a Dragon, Phoenix, Heavenly Demon, or Divine Tree, they are all Zhuzhou.
But the Spirit Machine Divine Body is different. It is a derivative of 'creative desire', a concrete manifestation of the unique place in everyone's heart—rather than building yourself, it is better to build an ideal self.
And the ideal self is obviously stronger than the current self!
Creation is just like that.
"This is also very innovative, and can be used for this time!"
Hearing this, Su Zhou became interested.
Obviously, the inheritance of the World of Genesis is also quite interesting to Su Zhou and can be applied by analogy.
Opening the market, Su Zhou originally wanted to see if there was anything he could buy.
And as a self-searching maniac, he didn't think at all and directly entered Zhuzhou and then clicked confirm.
【Zhuzhou Blood】
【Complete Inheritance Exchange, tentatively priced at S-level Development Permission, points for exploration】
【Scattered throughout the myriad worlds, divine beasts possessing special powers】
【Not Dragon, not Snake, not Phoenix, not Tree, Zhuzhou does not inherit by race, but by soul and blood as the source to confirm the same race—evidence shows that Zhuzhou is a special way of thinking, a manifestation of a meme life, the common points of different Zhuzhou in many worlds are that they all possess the same inheritance of 'Formless True Body'】
【Exchange Zhuzhou Blood to obtain the inheritance of 'Formless True Body', and maximize the reduction of bloodline rejection, you can get a self-selected A-level module, or three self-selected B-level modules】
【Tip: The strength of Zhuzhou Blood will vary greatly with the user's proficiency】
"Quite formal?"
Su Zhou blinked, feeling pretty good—S-level Development Permission, 150,000 exploration points, this is a very normal S-level exchange-type bloodline.
What he is more interested in now is actually those 'modules'.
"Yinglong's Horn, Thunder Swamp's Heart, World Devouring Abdomen, Godzilla's Spine, Medusa's Eye..." Roughly scanning, Su Zhou found some familiar things and some brand new modules.
Like Typhon's Arm, Titan's Heart, Enlightenment Leaf, etc... The Pioneer Space does indeed have everything.
Even things like 'Candle Dragon's Tooth', 'Fenrir's Skin', 'Unicorn's Tail', 'Cerberus' Ears', which have no magic at all and are very bizarre, are all very complete!
Su Zhou also saw a 'Divine Pigeon's Throat'. It is said that after exchanging it, you can make a 'cooing sound'. Anyone who hears this sound will be happy, even if they are pigeonholed, they will not have any dissatisfaction!
"Does Your Excellency want it?"
Noticing that Su Zhou was observing the market and the Pioneer Space exchange list, Dechimus asked this, but then immediately bought all the modules that Su Zhou had looked at before in one go without saying anything.
Then, a series of prompts sounded in the young man's ears, indicating that various modules were placed into the storage space by the Pioneer Space.
"...You are very thoughtful."
Blinking, Su Zhou turned to look at the mage next to him. Although he had long reached the point where he didn't need these templates much, having them was also the icing on the cake.
However, it can be seen that Dechimus is really very serious about achieving his goal—buying these high-level modules is also a big expense for him, even without relying on the No-Thinking Heart, Su Zhou can see that the other party is indeed very reluctant in his heart.
However, this reluctance is less than one ten-thousandth compared to being able to make Su Zhou happy and seriously help him save his lover.
A very dedicated person, whether to exploration or to his lover.
Smiling and shaking his head, Su Zhou no longer observed the market and the exchange list.
After returning from the World of Genesis, he will have his own exchange points and development permissions—he is not used to spending the money of good brothers like Shao Qiming.
"What, are we setting off?"
Watching Dechimus exchange all kinds of divine materials he needed, Su Zhou asked.
"Soon, there is one last step."
Stuffing enough divine materials to pile up a small mountain into his space equipment, Dechimus nodded in satisfaction—obviously this trip to the market had been very fruitful for him, and he had bought all the materials he wanted to buy.
He turned around and said to Su Zhou with a respectful voice with a smile: "Next, I am going to a place to buy some information about the World of Genesis."
"I dare say that Your Excellency Su Zhou will definitely be very interested in that place!"
"Oh?" Su Zhou was originally closing his eyes and sensing how big the entire Pioneer Market was—it was almost borderless. The observable range alone was as large as the solar system.
But when he heard Dechimus' determined words, he was really a little interested: "What place?"
"Zhuzhou Community—the Pioneer Space, the community where all Zhuzhou are gathered!"
Raising his head, the brown-haired mage showed a confident smile: "There is a Pioneer exploration team called Hope Light Zhuzhou there, exploring the World of Creation—I am going there this time to buy relevant information from them!"
"Haha, you're right."
His eyes widened, and Su Zhou was really interested this time. He showed an interested look, then raised his head and signaled Dechimus to lead the way: "To be honest, you probably don't need to buy information this time."
"But you're right about one thing, I am indeed very interested in that community!"
Big chapter tomorrow (making the cooing sound of a divine pigeon)
Asking for a monthly ticket!
