Chapter 804 What Do You Know!

The void was pierced.

With the emergence of the Dao-Integrating Armament, space-time convulsed, enough to obscure the vision of many powerhouses in the myriad realms. The space-time turbulence, which naturally blocked the connection between worlds, rapidly receded like mist before a raging fire in the face of the long river transformed by the Arrow of Heavenly Evolution, revealing a blank expanse of pale.

Numerous scattered fragments of world ruins shattered into dust in the face of the divine arrow's might. Had it been in the cosmic starry sky, both planets and stars would have likely exploded and bloomed like fireworks under the divine power of this arrow.

But these were merely illusions caused by the overwhelming aura and pressure—in reality, apart from the lifeless world ruins and void fragments, nothing was shattered by this arrow.

It was indeed an arrow that did not kill.

However, the surging cyan torrent swept past, and whether it was the many Mechanoid Gods in the Vortex of Strife who were affected by the aftershocks, or those attacking worlds that were targeted, all were imbued with an aura of ultimate purity, giving rise to various illusions and visions.

The Giant Gods and Silver Fairies saw themselves engaged in a fierce battle with a powerful enemy, an enemy possessing all their skills and techniques, yet surpassing them in fundamental strength or the power of divine abilities. Fighting such a strong opponent forced them to tap into their potential, to perceive the shortcomings in their techniques and divine abilities that they had believed to be perfect.

Battleships intertwined in the void, their massive bodies clashing among the stars, causing the heavens and earth to boil and the Milky Way to tremble.

Of course, some of them were defeated by this sudden illusion, awakening abruptly from their dream, but with a newfound understanding—some failures might be meaningless, leaving them clueless as to where they went wrong, but this kind of failure was different, allowing them to keenly perceive their shortcomings.

And the few powerhouses who comprehended and broke through in battle, realizing their past deficiencies, became even stronger, filling in their gaps!

This was the effect on beings with self-awareness.

As for the many world wills without clear selves, which were more driven by instinct than intelligence, the reaction to this arrow was even more obvious.

They—were awakened.

Su Zhou unleashed the Arrow of Heavenly Evolution, an arrow that embodied a natural ecosystem, a planet, the boundless vitality of all living things in the universe. It was the law of the jungle among animals, the growth and sowing among plants and trees. It was symbiosis, predation, domestication, cultivation and hunting, as well as alliances and wars, integration and division.

The divine intent contained in this arrow was simply too vast. Even the slightest spill of its brilliance was enough to enlighten stars, creating many nascent star wills like the Star Phoenix.

But unlike the Star Phoenix, which Su Zhou deliberately created with divine powers, the passage of the Arrow of Heavenly Evolution merely awakened the inherent spirituality within all things, fulfilling the accumulation of thousands upon thousands of years in an instant.

This was not 'creation', but a divine power of the 'existence' lineage.

Therefore, the worlds themselves could not be exempt.

The Dao-Integrating divine power permeated the universe, and the many worlds attacking the World of Genesis were now imbued with shocking auras. The worlds that could be drawn to the World of Genesis by its cosmic will already possessed a certain degree of spirituality. Otherwise, a universe without life or spirituality would just be a big rock. Who could control a rock to approach them and be integrated?

Even if it were integrated, it would be useless to the cosmic will.

But under Su Zhou's power, this sliver of spirituality was rapidly growing, fast-forwarding to near maturity, transforming from a faint, primordial, indestructible light into a chaotic cosmic will.

[I]

Faintly, such a majestic voice could be heard, echoing in the worlds pierced by the cyan arrow, carrying a trace of confusion, and the joy of finally being able to express its thoughts: [Who am I?]

And this was the beginning of the birth of 'intelligent life'.

At the moment when 'Who am I?' was questioned, all the worlds acting on instinct stopped their approach toward the World of Genesis.

The 'Calamity of Finality' was halted.

Without brute force… well, after all, it was the power of the Dao-Integrating Armament. If assisting in the awakening of spirits was also considered forcibly awakening them with brute force, then it wouldn't be wrong.

In any case, relying on another kind of brute force, Su Zhou used a method that did not harm any life, achieving the goal that the Fairy Queen and the Lord of Contradiction had found very troublesome.

And all of this was very simple.

Because when beings have self-awareness, they will not want to become part of another being.

Having self-awareness, they are unwilling to mix together.

The Calamity of Finality initiated by the second-generation cosmic will of the World of Genesis was different from the first-generation cosmic will's control of star beasts and cosmic disasters to directly confront the Circle of Genesis.

It dragged thousands of worlds of all sizes toward itself, using the great Dao mutations caused by the fusion of worlds to directly weaken and devastatingly strike the many Dao-Integrating and below-Dao-Integrating transcendents.

In this way, the cosmic will itself did not need to appear.

All Dao-Integrating powerhouses were forced to deal with one unbelievably large world after another, which would inevitably consume a lot of their power, forcing them to show their many methods and know the enemy's cards, and even expand their own power as accumulation.

With this ebb and flow, in the future direct battle, this second-generation cosmic will would inevitably have a greater chance of winning than its simple-minded predecessor.

It must be said that it was really smart, and it was enough to show that existences like the cosmic will, if they really began to think seriously and learn from the experiences and lessons of their predecessors, would definitely not be simpletons who only knew how to rush.

However, even so, its plan had a very large loophole.

"Why do other worlds have to fuse with you?"

"Who are you? Are you worthy?"

Although it sounded argumentative, it was actually a very normal question.

The essence of cosmic fusion was actually more similar to the process of primitive single-celled life gradually becoming multi-celled life—each single-celled life was itself a complete life, with a life support system, as well as instinctive reactions, and could make many intelligent moves to survive in the endless void.

But this was the limit. If a single universe had no external force, such as too many powerhouses being bred in its inner world, feeding back to itself, just like mitochondria in humans, providing a lot of energy for the single-celled life and thus evolving… if there was no such good thing, the extreme point of the cosmic will would be like a single-celled life, only possessing basic instincts.

In the face of the many dangers in the void, such wisdom was no different from having none.

In the ice-凝 void, because all the stars of the original world were frozen in place, there were no cosmic storms or void disasters, so it didn't matter.

But now, the ice-凝 void melted, and the space-time turbulence once again filled the multiverse. The fear in the instincts of the many cosmic wills was awakened, and they wanted to gather together to become a 'world group' to resist the many possible disasters together.

This was also why the worlds in the multiverse were always clustered together.

Therefore, it was necessary to unite.

The cosmic will of the World of Genesis was precisely showing its wisdom and power, attracting many single-celled universes to come and inviting them to become a part of itself. When they were completely fused, the wills of those single-celled universes would also become a part of the second-generation cosmic will, becoming a brand new and more powerful great cosmic will.

For single-celled life, there was no such thing as so-called—what was the difference between surviving alone and living in symbiosis with another life, or becoming a part of it?

Wasn't living everywhere the same as living?

But if there was wisdom, everything would be different.

Intelligent life with souls… its original sin was arrogance.

Having their own ideas, their own choices, their own thoughts and tendencies, so they would have opposing views with other lives, and then produce many contradictions, disputes and killings.

In the void, the young man's long hair fluttered, cyan-purple flames surrounded his body, his eyes were fiery, as if there were many stars burning behind his pupils.

Su Zhou smiled and gazed at the many worlds in the distance that had stopped in their tracks under this arrow, hesitating, and beginning to think, whispering to himself: "With souls, you will understand that your birth is a miracle, a precious and valuable opportunity."

"With self-awareness, you will know that mixing yourself with others is essentially killing two lives to create a new life. That may be a choice, but it is by no means the choice you should make now."

"And with wisdom, you will know that you are just part of someone else's plan, and everything you have done so far will become a wedding dress for others."

Such an ending.

Who could accept it? Who could agree to it? Who could understand it?

Putting himself in their shoes, if Su Zhou knew that someone was tricking him like this, it would be strange if he didn't immediately draw the Nirvana Blade, and then use the Heavenly Evolution Long River to bless it with [Dao-Integrating Armament Heavenly Evolution Long River Nirvana Blade Form 0.01 Version] and cut them down with one strike!

[Awesome!]

On the other side, the Fairy Queen Elchior shouted loudly, just like an extremely impolite moviegoer who naturally made a disturbing exclamation when seeing a satisfying scene.

Originally, such impolite behavior should have been reprimanded, but because almost all the Mechanoid Gods present were His juniors, it was fine.

This Dao-Integrating powerhouse could naturally see the subtlety of Su Zhou's arrow, which was something they could not do.

The Vortex of Strife did indeed have the ability to enlighten all things in the world, but it couldn't be like Su Zhou, directly shooting an arrow, and the light of Heavenly Evolution spilling out, causing dozens or hundreds of worlds to all awaken their spirits, understand their essence, and possess the most basic wisdom.

And, most importantly, they had never thought that they could use this method to stop the Calamity of Finality… who could have thought? Who could have thought that the meteorites would stop themselves!

On the other side, the Lord of Contradiction was pondering. This Giant God now turned his head, looking thoughtfully at the World of Genesis: […It's going to change]

[Now it seems that the Calamity of Finality is no longer a problem. There is no need for the Dark Abyss Dao to leave the World of Genesis, and those guys from the Bureaucratic Harmony Dao who have been brainwashed by the cosmic will… I'm afraid they don't have enough time to cast the Perpetual Motion Star God]

[Moreover]

Chloe controlled the Ceasefire Giant God to turn sideways, and He guarded against his back: [The cosmic will will definitely not turn a blind eye to this!]

Not only the two Dao-Integrating powerhouses of the Vortex of Strife.

In the World of Genesis, all the powerhouses whose strength was almost at a certain level could see this scene in the void.

In the Dark Abyss Dao, the Time-Reversing Serpent coiled above the black hole. He looked up at the void, his eyes narrowed slightly, and his expression was somewhat subtle.

Within the Founding Dao, Duska, who was holding a meeting with many Mechanoid God creations, suddenly stopped speaking. He stared at the void, as if he had insight into the distant future. He first breathed a sigh of relief, and then frowned and pondered.

In the Myriad Manifestations Burial Ground, Lincoln Erda sat on the Sphere of Return, his expression complex, but he smiled slightly.

At the root of the universe, a powerhouse surrounded by the divine intent of balance, all silver-white, as if cast from crystal, was originally resting with his eyes closed.

He could only rest, because chains condensed from the Great Dao had turned into spherical prisons, imprisoning him in place, unable to move.

Even if he was Dao-Integrating, in the face of the power suppression of the entire universe, and the constant restrictions and shackles, he couldn't do anything else while protecting himself.

But now, this Dao-Integrating powerhouse suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the void.

Then laughed.

[Cosmic will, I said long ago, everything is too much. If you plot slowly, hide your existence, and wait until the Dark Abyss Dao and the Founding Dao are both hurt before you take action, the success rate is at least 85%]

[You intend to influence other worlds in the multiverse, which is destined to be disrupted by other powerhouses in the multiverse. Look, isn't this Primordial Candle Dragon here? If you didn't have such great ambitions, and didn't want to destroy us, but just wanted to ensure your own safety, then maybe this Primordial Candle Dragon wouldn't have come, or would have helped you for the sake of that Dragon of Bearing the Dao?]

[This is the Dao of Equilibrium. Everything you do has its price—now, the price is here!]

The Harmony Ruler Kara of the Bureaucratic Harmony Dao talked eloquently: [So, why did you imprison me in the first place? I just discovered your birth and planned to let you talk to other Dao-Integrating powerhouses to end this meaningless conflict… Ah, I admit that I did want to explore the core root of the universe and try to go further, so I accidentally entered your house, but at that time I didn't know that you had already been born, and there was an owner in the house, so it shouldn't count as breaking into an empty house…]

Before he could finish speaking, he could hear a majestic voice with annoyance: [Shut up]

[I imprisoned you just because you talked too much. You said you would remain neutral and keep your mouth shut. Who would believe you with this performance!]

[What's more, you guys weren't planning to explore the root of the universe—you were trying to use the entire god system of the Bureaucratic Harmony Dao to become the cosmic will, to become the master who arbitrates all things in equilibrium—you guys were planning to steal my home!]

[If you didn't have this idea, I wouldn't have had the opportunity to erode the minds of those Mechanoid Gods, and if I hadn't successfully changed homes, I'm afraid I would have been usurped by you!]

These words were indeed correct, and even Kara sighed slightly: [If we knew you existed, we naturally wouldn't have done that… Ah, what's done is done, and we can't blame you for not believing us. We were wrong first]

[But, cosmic will]

Saying this, this Dao-Integrating powerhouse leaned forward slightly, and He smiled indifferently: [Do you still think you will win now]

There was no sound in response.

Because the cosmic will had already left.

Outside the void.

Su Zhou, who was preparing to continue charging the divine arrow to enlighten the subsequent dozens of attacking worlds all at once, suddenly heard a voice.

[Primordial Candle Dragon!]

This voice carried a trace of anger, and a trace of confusion as if betrayed: [What exactly are you trying to do?!]

[Didn't you say that you would help me, help this universe become better? Why did you suddenly take action to help these guys who have been your enemies more than once?]

[Are you going to completely stand on the side of these guys!]

It could be completely heard that the voice of the cosmic will really carried a trace of grievance.

Although it may have absorbed the experience of the first-generation cosmic will, so it seemed sophisticated, but in the face of Su Zhou's promise without a trace of lies at that time, it really remembered it in its heart, and felt that Su Zhou would indeed help it build a 'better' universe.

As a result, Su Zhou was now directly drawing out the firewood from under the cauldron, and directly picked its plan—it seemed that with his own strength, he could really completely solve the Calamity of Finality!

Don't look at the fact that the Calamity of Finality hasn't caused any damage so far… but those who are good at war have no outstanding achievements. Su Zhou is blocking all destruction and destruction before it starts, so naturally there is no disaster, and there can be no victims in the World of Genesis.

If a large world really collided and merged with the World of Genesis, ordinary people who didn't come into contact with transcendence might be fine, but all cultivators would have to suffer from cultivation deviation at least ten times, and death would be commonplace.

Therefore, Su Zhou, in response to the cosmic will's questioning that seemed to carry a bit of grievance, simply and neatly shouted.

"Shut up!"

He burst out with anger: "What do you know about the universe, what do you know about plans, what do you know about a better future?"

——Wh… what?

At this moment, the cosmic will was really dumbfounded—the rest was fine, but someone actually said to it, what do you know about the universe?

Especially this Primordial Candle Dragon, a new species that had only appeared in recent decades. It was estimated that it was a new divine being of the multiverse that had only appeared in the past few thousand years. In terms of age, it was probably only a few years older than itself. Why was it scolding itself in such a condescending manner?!

Just as the cosmic will, bursting with anger, was about to retort, Su Zhou's angry voice continued to come through soul transmission: "If we really did everything according to your plan, there would be no room for change!"

"I originally thought you were just going to introduce a few small worlds to merge and deter them at the beginning, but I didn't expect you to drag so many, and many worlds with life are coming… not to mention that you are ignoring the beings of other universes, does your behavior really deserve to be the cosmic will?"

[What do you know?]

To this, the cosmic will was also really annoyed: [Primordial Candle Dragon, are you really going to be my enemy!]

"No, I still want to help you—help everyone."

Su Zhou shook his head slightly: "It's just that letting you do this is really being an enemy to the beings of all worlds."
