Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 71 He and I Are So Alike (7400, Large Chapter)

Chapter 817 He Is So Similar to Me (7400, Large Chapter)

The Hedao fluctuations, to put it bluntly, are actually the damage to the universe caused by the incompatibility between cosmic rules. Every Hedao doesn't need to transform into the world itself, and it is certain that their own bodies do not need cosmic rules inside.

For example, Di Mo'er, the Hedao powerhouse of the Reincarnation Dao, the Old Boatman of the Bitter Sea, has no physical structure in his body at all, and is completely composed of pure 'wish power' and 'belief'. Its core is 'compassion', its skeleton is 'determination', its flesh and blood are 'persistence', and its meridians are 'belief'.

Which universe can use such a subjective concept as a body? But Hedao powerhouses can. Di Mo'er's Daoti (Dao Body) strength can even be compared with that of Emperor Jun Guang, the Great God of the Luo Tian Dao. [Multiverse Embodiment] is a genuine path of taking the world as the body, even more direct than the Scales of Bearing the World.

The conflict between the real universe and the power held by the Hedao powerhouse itself can be equated to the conflict between two universes colliding and merging on a small scale. This is the essence of Hedao fluctuations.

Just like now.

Boom!

Boom!

The vacuum shattered with thunder, and vast ion clouds surged and spread, rapidly forming a fire cloud that was millions or even tens of millions of kilometers long.

Occasionally, a bolt of lightning split in the fire cloud, and a piece of time and space shattered. Even the fluctuations of spiritual energy were completely torn apart. Anything born in the universe could never resist the divine might of this thunder.

And it was such a thundercloud that tore apart all phenomena and shattered the void, rolling and flying like a meteor, smashing the absolute zero barrier set by the Perpetual Motion Star God along the way, and also defeating the defense wall set by the five Hedao powerhouses who joined forces, surrounding the One God, and directly came to the artificial god who had no face, no mouth, no eyes, and no ears.

In the ion fire cloud, which was burning because of the boiling of the vacuum sea, the huge Hedao dragon snake stretched out its hand, pushed aside the thunder, and stated to the silent, but only looking up, One God.

"Apple, or eyes?"

Su Zhou's tone was peaceful, just asking, "Or, you don't even understand 'desire' and were sent out as a tool for battle?"

[Primal Candle Dragon, step back!]

But at this moment, Dusika's furious voice sounded. This Hedao powerhouse had been guarding against Su Zhou's actions, but he didn't expect that the other party would be so decisive, disregarding the possibility of his own death, and inserting himself into the center of the battlefield.

From beginning to end, the battle between the One God and the Perpetual Motion Star God was an internal matter of the World of Creation, whether it was the cause and effect of the Creation Ring and the Cosmic Consciousness lineage achieving each other and destroying each other over millions of years, or the idea of wanting to use each other as a stepping stone to achieve the Flood now.

But this Primal Candle Dragon inexplicably, after suddenly descending a few years ago, had been vaguely inserting himself into the internal affairs of the World of Creation, completely not treating himself as an outsider!

How could this not make Dusika feel angry?

[You intend to open a Dao in my world, which is a blessing for all living beings. Our Ten Heavenly God System is grateful and willing to respect you as the Ancestor of Hedao, so we can pretend that we didn't see all your previous small actions—but this does not mean you can arbitrarily interfere in this battle]

The voice was like thunder, and the armored celestial god rose up in anger. Dusika held the Hedao weapon, and the blazing flames lingered on the Casting Dao Hammer, and the divine light surged like a tide.

Clang!

Without the slightest hesitation, he swung the burning Casting Dao Hammer and smashed it down in the void, causing a series of space-time dislocations. Dusika's hammer ignored all the distance space and defense along the way, and did not attack Su Zhou's body and soul.

But hammered the 'Great Dao'!

For the Dao Lords of the Hedao realm, the body and soul are just external containers, ports manifested in the material universe. Their bodies are the Great Dao truths that are all over the universe. It's like if a deity combines the Dao with gravity, then unless the gravitational constant in this universe is completely removed, then he will at most be silent, but it is impossible to be eliminated. After a long time, he will definitely return, as if he had never been defeated.

Destroy the body and soul? It is equivalent to trampling on the shadow of a Hedao powerhouse. As long as the universe still exists and the Great Dao still exists, then the light of the universe shining on the Great Dao will definitely project the 'body and soul' of the Hedao powerhouse on the material world again.

Therefore, Dusika's attack was to use the power of the Casting Dao Hammer to forge the universe and correct the basic constants to directly attack Su Zhou's 'Dao of Heavenly Evolution' in the World of Creation. The hot melting hammer carried a strong meaning of creation and smashed down.

The so-called creation is not born out of thin air, but to modify the original materials into a new thing that has never appeared before. Creating things out of thin air also requires a void to begin with. Therefore, creation is also the strongest change and the strongest attack.

With this divine power that almost no one can resist, the Founding Dao is the head of the Ten Heavenly God System.

At this time, Su Zhou turned his back to Dusika's attack. He did not dodge or avoid it, but frankly showed his wings, allowing the divine hammer that created everything and corrected everything to smash down.

Crack!

In a loud roar, Su Zhou forcibly withstood the blow, even though the result was that cracks were smashed into the Dao of Heavenly Evolution, causing the Dragon of the Universe in the real universe to be affected, its back scales falling off, and its wings shattered.

The damage to the body and soul is meaningless to the Hedao powerhouse, but in contrast, if the Great Dao is damaged, then the body and soul of the real universe will naturally decay and rot.

For a time, bluish-purple dragon blood rained down, flying in all directions in the universe, and even a few drops splashed on the face of the One God.

[What?] Even Dusika himself was stunned—his original intention was just to force Su Zhou back and let the other party withdraw from the vicinity of the One God. After all, hammering Hedao has an impact on the entire universe, even if the Dao of Heavenly Evolution has just been achieved not long ago.

But who knew that Su Zhou would rather take his blow head-on than retreat, his determination was so incomprehensible!

[Stop!]

At the same time, the Perpetual Motion Star God, who was originally astonished by Su Zhou's actions, was furious. The huge Star Python swung its long tail and slapped Dusika from afar, causing the Heavenly God of Creation to have to wave his divine hammer and carry the opponent's attack that was enough to smash the galaxy, and retreat.

Seeing this, the other four Hedao powerhouses who were still hesitating had to take action and resist the Perpetual Motion Star God's furious attack with Dusika—Su Zhou's Hedao fluctuations had not stopped, and they could not control the One God to leave now.

For a time, the edge of the entire universe became a mess.

Except for the place where Su Zhou and the One God were.

At this moment, the One God stared at Su Zhou. Without facial features, it was impossible to tell its emotions no matter how one looked at it, and it was impossible to know which direction it was looking at.

Rather than a human, it was more like a model that was just facing the direction where Su Zhou was, or rather, the direction where the dragon snake with broken wings was.

"Oh? You care about my wings?"

Su Zhou noticed this, he turned his head and looked at his wings, which were completely cracked with steel wing membranes, leaving only half of the steel feathers and skeleton. The youth was a little surprised, then nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "You're wondering why I would let others attack me? Am I not afraid of pain, right?"

The One God was stunned for a while, then nodded quickly—He could only rely on this method to express his thoughts because He couldn't speak.

"It's a good thing that you're still wondering. You're fighting with the Perpetual Motion Star God because you're afraid of pain, right?"

Su Zhou lowered his eyes. The pain of the Hedao being torn apart has nothing to do with all the physical and neurological pain. That is a suffering that no sentient being can bear. Only those who fail no matter what they do, and whose most desired dream is shattered just before it is realized can experience one ten-thousandth of the sorrow.

Even if the One God had never felt pain, it was impossible for Him to accept it.

"It is indeed very painful and uncomfortable." He said, "But I am both Su Zhou and the Candle Dragon, and the Candle Dragon is a kind of thought."

"Thoughts will be broken and will rot, but they will not be afraid of pain."

Saying this, the youth stretched out his hand, and the sharp dragon claws, thick and ferocious, covered with metal armor, touched the One God's face, wiping away the blood that had splashed on Him.

Even behind him, the Perpetual Motion Star God and the five Hedao powerhouses were fighting to the point where the Great Dao was annihilated, he still did not have the slightest fear or anxiety.

The One God stared at Su Zhou, staring at this existence that He could not understand, allowing the other party to wipe the dragon blood from His face.

And Su Zhou also stared at the other party's expressionless, but very blank face.

He sighed softly: "One God...you are so similar to me."

"We both have innate power, we both have talents and divine power that we don't know why we have, and we both have thoughts that no matter what we say, others can't understand, and even we ourselves shouldn't say them."

"A long time ago, from the moment I accidentally crushed the iron railing at the staircase, I knew that I had a secret that was difficult to tell others. Why this secret came to me, and what its meaning was, I didn't know at all. I even hated it because this power injured my other friends when I was playing."

"But I am different from you. I have friends, I have Qi Ming as my friend, listening to my thoughts and confusion."

The dragon claws that were stroking the One God's face dropped and pressed on the other's shoulder. The gentle force made the God sit down, and the giant dragon also sat cross-legged, with its long tail wrapped around.

One dragon and one person sat in meditation. Su Zhou calmly stated: "No matter how powerful I become now, no matter how much I have surpassed the former Earth Immortals and Gods."

"I still remember that on that windless summer night, when I was punished to stand outside the office by the teacher for lying because I reported that I saw the ghost of a girl haunting the staircase, which caused my classmate to fall down the stairs, Qi Ming was waiting for me. On the way home together, he said that he believed that I saw the ghost, believed that I had the power, and believed that this power could protect others."

"Protect those who are as weak as him."

"This is my power, my talent, the source and meaning of what I firmly believe in."

Raising his head, Su Zhou stared ahead. His gaze penetrated the cosmic barrier and went straight to the distant void, the Earth in the sealed universe: "But it's already difficult for me to go back."

"The cause and effect that entangles me is no longer something that an Earth can bear. My power can even shatter the Milky Way. If I want to, all the forces in the observable universe of the sealed universe combined are not enough for me to flick my tail. Even before achieving Hedao, it's just a matter of spending more time and effort."

"And what I have to face is the future of the multiverse being destroyed. The Great Existences are waking up one after another. Even if they don't take action, the endless眷属 (juàn shǔ, dependents/entourage) under them will still create mistakes and disasters, causing destruction to proliferate."

Lowering his head, the youth calmly stared: "Just like you, and the Perpetual Motion Star God, you are such mistakes and disasters. Just existing causes the void to flourish and destruction to spread."

The One God lowered His head. Although He could not understand, He could understand the emotions in Su Zhou's words. He could sense that those words representing 'terror and despair' were referring to Himself.

That was not a good thing, He understood.

He did not want this, but did not know how to do it.

To correct a mistake, one needs to recognize the mistake and know what is correct.

How could a man-made Hedao pinnacle, the only God of the Great Dao, a monster without self-meaning awareness, actively correct mistakes?

Therefore, guidance is needed.

"No matter what, I will come to existences like you."

Su Zhou stared at such One God. He shook his head with a light smile: "No matter what, I am willing to perform it for you."

"This is not a grand narrative, nor is it for some great dream or principle, and it may not even be for my Great Dao and correctness."

"One God, and, Cosmic Consciousness."

At this moment, the youth's voice vibrated the universe. Whether it was the God in front of him or the Perpetual Motion Star God behind him, they all heard, heard his faint statement: "I am the Primal Candle Dragon, the 'innovation' of correctness, the enemy of 'errors and monsters'."

"Monsters die when they are killed, as long as it is a mistake, it will be wiped out by correctness—but I don't want you to die. The eternal long road is long, and if you turn back, everyone will be happy."

"Therefore, I am willing to become your light."

"Just to guide you children trapped in the darkness, children who are similar to me, to no longer go astray."

"Embark on a path that is similar to mine, but different, and even better."

He stood up. Su Zhou bit off his index finger, causing bluish-purple dragon blood to pour out.

He stretched out his index finger that had been bitten off and stopped in front of the One God, who was still sitting in place.

"The prerequisite is that you can 'see' the light."

The One God, who had no eyes, faced this index finger. He naturally knew that Su Zhou's blood was dripping, but did not understand its meaning, but the youth's subsequent words caused His body to vibrate.

"Do you want a pair of eyes that can see? One God."

He was puzzled, He was afraid, He was confused, He did not know what all this meant.

But He yearned.

So He nodded.

Su Zhou smiled and stretched out his hand, using his finger as a pen and his blood as ink, and drew lines on the other's face.

"I will bestow you with my eyes." Su Zhou promised softly. At this moment, inside the youth's eyes, bluish-purple flames were burning. The raging fire finally condensed into solid light, rising proudly and never stopping: "This is the supreme magical power of [Innovation], one of them, I name it 'Endless Pupils'."

"You will see the future, you will see the unknown, you will read all things in the world, distinguish between good and bad in your heart, and continue to move forward."

"Just as the things seen by the eyes are endless, infinite, without beginning or end, and infinite."

He drew a pair of eyes on the One God's face.

When Su Zhou raised his finger, he clicked in the center of these eyes.

Silver and bluish-purple halos lit up for a moment.

——Finishing touch, so is drawing a person.

Therefore, light was born out of nothing, illuminating the cosmic vacuum.

A pair of bluish-purple eyes, exactly the same as Su Zhou's, were formed.

Done.

The One God opened His eyes, He trembled and looked at the universe in front of Him, at Su Zhou in front of Him, at the endless void vacuum in front of Him, and at the flames and divine light that were burning all over the sky—the battle had not stopped, but Su Zhou blocked all the attacks, keeping this time and space peaceful.

He saw, and was even afraid for a moment. This God, who was so powerful that probably no one in the entire World of Creation could match Him, actually lowered His head and buried His eyes and head in His arms, shivering.

Knowing and seeing are always completely different concepts.

But the next moment, He raised His head again and looked at Su Zhou.

Su Zhou smiled and met His gaze, with encouragement in His eyes.

So the One God slowly stood up, He slowly raised His hand, and then slashed towards His face.

A huge gash appeared below His face. This huge wound was ferocious and curved. Even when fighting with the Perpetual Motion Star God, the One God had never suffered such a heavy injury.

But so what?

It was not the end. Gaze fixed on Su Zhou's face, fixated on Su Zhou's appearance, fixated on Su Zhou's every move, the One God once again stretched out His hands, erected His index fingers, and fiercely pierced them into the sides of His head.

In an instant, two more deep-to-the-bone wounds appeared.

Even as divine light splashed and countless brilliant energy light streams rolled and dripped like blood, Su Zhou still nodded slightly with a smile and encouragement at the One God.

This was motivation.

[Ah...]

Opening and closing the wound on His face, the aperture called 'mouth', the One God made a sound.

Located on both sides of the head, the deep-to-the-bone aperture named 'ear' vibrated, causing Him to hear His own voice.

——Finally, He could hear the sound.

——Finally, He could make a sound.

——Finally, He could see, could hear, could speak.

Su Zhou slowly took a few steps back.

He gazed with deep eyes at the One God who was clenching His fists at this moment, with expectation.

——It is not the snake who guides man to eat the apple...because man is created in God's image, man is God, but lacks a desire.

——The ignorant chaos witnesses the light, and opens the apertures...this is the beginning of life.

The One God looked around the universe. He knew, of course He knew, that He was the Hedao God, possessing five Great Daos. He didn't need to look or listen, all the information was incorporated into His heart. He didn't need to speak or move. As long as He turned His thoughts, the Great Dao would be born and the heavens and earth would shake.

This kind of perception was without omission and absolutely comprehensive. This was the perception of the universe itself. All human and even God's eyes had limitations and differences, and carried subjective illusions. In order to prevent the One God from having 'illusions', Dusika and other Hedaos deliberately did not shape the five senses and seven orifices for the One God, only hoping that He could maintain His original perception, like the essence of the universe.

But now.

He finally saw the world, in His own way, saw this world full of illusions, but unique.

——There is a guess.

The world seen by every life is actually completely different. The red in some people's eyes is actually the blue in others' eyes, but these different colors have the same name. Everyone says the sky is blue and the blood is red, but in reality, they are not the same thing in each other's hearts and eyes.

Therefore, the language that defines all things allows different people to communicate with each other, allows different worlds to seek common ground while reserving differences, and allows life to understand each other.

No one knew what the One God saw at this moment, but everyone was very clear about His next actions.

He was crying.

[Woo...woo——]

Covering His eyes with His hands, the One God sobbed, He had no tears, but the 'blood' He shed from tearing His body was tears. He made a crying sound, but Su Zhou could know that the joy that gradually emerged from the infinite bewilderment and sorrow.

[Why...why...]

In just a few breaths, He learned the language. The One God sobbed and murmured, asking the confusion in His heart: [Why...so painful...so bright]

——From the moment of birth, there has been an impulse.

An unspeakable impulse filled His heart, incomparably hot, completely opposite to the cold, bone-piercing universe sensed by His body.

At that time, the One God clearly knew that something was shouting in His chest, but because He could not speak and did not know how to express it, He could only remain silent, as if He had not noticed it, and let it go.

But now, He finally spoke.

The One God turned His head and looked at Dusika and other Hedaos, and asked from the heart.

[Why?]

He was confused: [Why did you let me be born?]

[So painful...so cold...so scary...this universe is so painful, why does it exist...]

This was a declaration almost tantamount to destroying everything—if He was not prevented and persuaded, the so-called One God would destroy this universe full of suffering in His eyes and transform into a monster that destroyed all phenomena, and it was only one step away.

[One God, I...]

Dusika had noticed something was wrong from the beginning. He knew from the moment Su Zhou drew eyes for the One God that his creation was about to lose control, but even if his heart was as iron and sank into the sea, he had no way to spare time to stop Su Zhou in the Perpetual Motion Star God's almost retaliatory attack.

And now, facing the One God's question, this 'father' or 'creator' who created the One God opened his mouth. He seemed to want to say something, but was interrupted by Su Zhou.

"Their reasons are important, but not important now."

The youth stepped forward, and the towering dragon god stood behind the One God, like a phantom behind him. He stretched out his hand and pressed it on the One God's trembling shoulder. He comforted the other party, and the warmth of the Candle Dragon light gradually stabilized Him: "One God, now, tell them your true thoughts now."

"Just now, just at this moment."

Su Zhou's voice guided the One God's thoughts, causing Him to close His eyes and ponder.

Then, He opened His eyes and asked cautiously.

[So painful...]

[I don't want to fight that big snake anymore, He's so strong and fierce...]

[I want to stay in a warm place, I don't want to continue to be cold and painful...]

Such a voice spread throughout the universe. Not only Su Zhou and Dusika, but other Hedaos and other gods who were paying attention to this direction heard it.

Lincoln Erda's eyes were indifferent as he looked towards the Five Heavenly God System. The Fairy Queen and the Lord of the Contradictory Domain, who came from the void outside the universe, had subtle gazes.

Even within the Five Heavenly God System, the Concluding Mentor Helandi clicked his tongue and shook his head slightly. The Great God Emperor Jun Guang coughed and accepted it frankly.

[It has nothing to do with me]

Even the Perpetual Motion Star God, the second-generation Cosmic Consciousness, showed a subtle expression. He did not know who he was explaining to, and hurriedly declared: [I didn't bully Him, He was also hitting me, I was also in pain!]

No one could clearly say what Dusika's expression was at this time, it was so tangled and complicated.

No matter how many conditions were limited, no matter how many precautions were taken, in the final analysis, everything still went in a direction that no one knew about the future.

The trajectory was out of control, but to be honest, there was not much real astonishment in his heart.

——Why do intelligent beings always suspect that their creations will go out of control? Even the most confident scientists will mutter in their hearts, always feeling that accidents may happen?

How simple, their own children will not listen to them, let alone creations?

Especially, this child, was also induced by a bad child.

Of course, Dusika did not have his own trump card—He also had the power of the 'Final Annihilation Seal' from the Star of Heavenly Light. This supreme sealing power, which could suppress the Great Cosmic Consciousness in the past and make it obediently take out the cosmic source material to create a small universe, also existed in the One God's body. As long as it was activated, no matter what Su Zhou did, the One God would return to his previous mindless and unconscious state, like a tool.

But, if the One God was really a tool before, he would have no psychological burden to use it himself. But the current One God obviously had self-will. Doing this again, especially doing it in front of all the Hedaos in the universe, was murder.

Killing a newborn child.

Everything was boring, and Dusika was too lazy to even mention the idea of ​​trying. Moreover, he was not stupid. The bluish-purple brilliance that lit up when the Primal Candle Dragon drew eyes for the One God was his own Great Dao, and that silver, vast divine power that seemed to run through all the universes and time and space...was probably the trump card that allowed this Primal Candle Dragon to escape the capture of the Hedao weapon several times when he had not yet achieved Hedao.

That thing, obviously came from the same source as the Final Annihilation Seal. Since the other party had taken action, he must have confidence, so why should he continue to be a clown.

[Everything has failed]

He couldn't help but sigh, with a trace of desolation: [Let it go, anyway, I have no way to stop you]

No, it's not a failure.

At least, the existence of the One God itself represents the success of this path.

Raising his head, Dusika looked at Su Zhou. He gazed at this almost half-crippled Primal Candle Dragon and asked in confusion: [How dare you? You are facing the One God, but you dare to face Him with your real body]

[If I spared no expense, even if the One God rebelled, you would surely die]

"Please, haven't I merged with the Hedaos of other universes? If you destroy the Great Dao of my own universe, I can just be reborn in other universes."

And Su Zhou shook his head slightly. He sneered and said, "I'm not a monster. Being killed won't mean I die. Those who have the Dao receive much help, and those who lose the Dao receive little help. I have too much of the Dao. It's hard to die. Moreover, you made mistakes and loopholes. Why can't I use the bugs?"

"Correctness has no weaknesses or loopholes, remember that."

"What's more." Su Zhou turned his head and looked at the One God beside him.

This confused life had gradually stood up straight at this moment, straightening his spine. After saying his wishes and wanting to stay in a warm place for a while, this man-made god was no longer confused. Instead, he began to use the eyes that Su Zhou had given him, excitedly searching for 'warm' areas in the universe.

With desires, wishes, and longings, life will not be void.

Stretching out his hand, the dragon claws stroked the One God's head, as if recalling the night in the past, the child who was confused about what use his power had besides hurting friends and family.

——Those who are different from ordinary people are monsters——

The little monster has now become the light that illuminates others.

Gazing at the One God, Su Zhou smiled gently: "He is so similar to me."

"Even if it is extremely dangerous, and I have to face death and suffering, I can't bear it and swear to carry it out."

This volume is almost over...
