Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 31 Maybe It's Just Because They Suck (4000)

Chapter 1 The Girl with White Hair
White-haired girl opened her eyes. Her inorganic face initially seemed devoid of emotion, but soon, a hint of lively color appeared in her blood-red eyes.

"My name is Aura, and I am also a Zhuzhou."

She opened her eyes and met Yalan's gaze. The first thought that came to Yalan's mind was not the joy of summoning a powerful Zhuzhou, but an instinctive worry as an old father.

"She seems to be about the same age as Eve..."

He stared at Aura's long white hair, crimson pupils, and seemingly 'thin' figure, feeling a pang of heartache. "The poor child is so skinny, she looks too light!"

Wish?

Who would make a wish to a little girl!

--As expected, I should have let Teacher Mikhail appear next time. My own image is indeed hard to convince people.

Aura clearly noticed Yalan's gaze. Her eyes flickered slightly, evidently used to such treatment that she didn't show even a hint of emotional fluctuation.

At the same time, one could faintly hear the rise and fall of spiritual sounds emanating from the girl's body.

"This world is much bigger than I imagined... My old home can't even compare!"

"The level of technology is a bit lacking, though. Is it because the continent is too large for scholars to gather and create sparks of wisdom? Or are the higher-ups deliberately hindering technological development?"

"More war. So many worlds, some without technology, some without magic, some without joy, but war is never absent."

"Faith in the gods... Heh, also very primitive. Although large, the development is mediocre."

A male voice, a goddess's voice, a low, emotionless voice, a voice filled with criticism...

All the voices poured out from the 'pendant' on Aura's chest until Aura coughed softly, silencing all her ghostly teachers.

"Appearance is just external, it doesn't represent age."

Speaking with an unusually mature tone, Aura (seventeen years old) prompted Yalan, who was looking around for the source of the strange spiritual sounds, "Rather than age, we should first discuss the current situation of this world."

"Ah... indeed."

Yalan took a deep breath, glanced at the somewhat nervous Eve, and then nodded. "But I only just learned about the situation of this world... As for my wish, it's actually very simple, just to let Eve live a happy life."

"I originally thought it would be difficult, so I wanted to send Eve out of this world... But if there is help from the Zhuzhou Lords... perhaps this wish can really be realized?"

Yalan spoke of all the information he knew, including those uncertain memories that only appeared in his mind, memories he had no 'experience' of.

"I see, the teacher is almost about to win."

After listening, Aura nodded slightly, seeming thoughtful. "No wonder I was summoned. After all, unlike the teacher's powerful friends who can break the situation on their own, I don't have such strong personal abilities, nor unique powerful forces, nor can I help the summoner break the situation in times of crisis."

"But there's no need to belittle myself. The current situation... is perfect for me to play my role."

"The wish can be fulfilled."

Although all the Zhuzhou spirits summoned had already been informed of all the news upon being summoned, hearing it from Yalan, a local, allowed her to better understand the details of this world.

Aura nodded lightly and then looked out the window. The girl stared at the sky, analyzing seriously, "The gods of this world, in order to achieve their wishes, must devour the wishes of others."

"They want eternity, they want power, they want position, so they must plunder the eternity of others, suppress others to prevent them from gaining power."

"In the end, it's just like those who have money and don't want others to have money; who finally stand up and insist on keeping others kneeling, not allowing others to stand up as well."

Saying this, the white-haired, red-eyed girl turned her head and smiled slightly at Yalan and his daughter, Eve. "The gods who claim to control fate are, in the end, just a group of slaves to fate."

Aura's tone carried a confidence that Su Zhou was quite familiar with. "The gods are blocking you from leaving because your essence is special, and they need to plunder your power."

"It's not difficult to defeat them."

"Not difficult?"

It wasn't that Yalan didn't believe Aura. He knew very well that there were many people in this world who looked young on the outside but were actually older than the seemingly senile elders, possessing great power and wisdom.

However, Aura was the first person in all these years to say that 'defeating the gods is not difficult'!

"Just how is it not difficult?"

Aura reached out and touched the cheek of Eve, who was curiously looking at her, looking at this 'peer'. The dragon-blooded artificial human's slightly lower body temperature made the girl feel a chill, causing her to subconsciously shrink back.

Aura turned her head and looked at Yalan, who was asking, "Mr. Yalan, the gods have been blocked by the teacher, they no longer have the power to directly interfere in the world."

"The past and the future have already created a new pattern—the Atlantis continent, and the Zhuzhou faith spread across this continent, are the excellent situation created for us by my two predecessors."

"Not to mention, there are also people from the Pioneer Space stirring things up."

"What we need to do is very simple, that is to make it impossible for the gods to completely control you and your daughter, and even all the ordinary people in this world."

"In other words, your wish is too small."

Aura's words had a tone reminiscent of the Ancestral Dragon of the Divine Dragon World when he asked for a wish—now that you're here, having finally gotten the chance to chat with the teacher, the client only wants his daughter to live a happy life?

That's too simple, isn't it done in an instant?

We need something more difficult!

To be honest, Yalan still didn't understand just where resisting the gods was simple after hearing all this.

But Aura's calm and confident tone subconsciously calmed him down.

"Indeed."

He nodded in agreement, "The gods have indeed been blocked by the Primordial Zhuzhou Lords. If we can also get the people of this era to resist the gods, then they will completely lose their foundation."

"Even if they are lucky enough to survive from the hands of the Zhuzhou Lords, they will never be able to become gods in the next era, and will be replaced by the many excellent mortals of this era."

"My wish is indeed too small."

Thinking this way, Yalan suddenly had a flash of inspiration. All of this was indeed quite possible, and the middle-aged rich merchant's eyes lit up. "That's right!"

"In this era, there is no suppression from the gods, so the progress of science and culture is extremely fast. As long as we can keep this situation going, the gods will definitely be defeated!"

"It's not just that."

Aura said calmly, "First of all, why replace them?"

She raised a slender white finger and waved it slightly. "Who has determined that the number of god positions is limited?"

She asked again, "Is it that the gods themselves didn't do their jobs properly and were fired, or were they replaced by newcomers who did a better job? Who can be sure of that?"

The disciple of Zhuzhou, the newborn Zhuzhou, continued to question, "Is it possible that this group of gods is just too weak, and it's not fate that they must experience ups and downs?"

Without a doubt, the girl, who had completely learned the true essence of Zhuzhou, even more so than the previous three, revealed a faint smile in Yalan's astonished gaze.

She said, "Mr. Yalan."

"Why can't you, and the other beings in this world, all become gods together?"

"You are all notes of the Great Dao, part of the symphony of the universe. In theory, there is no high or low, no superior or inferior. If the gods can do it, you can do it too. We can all do it!"

"Eve's happiness alone?"

The girl looked at the golden-haired girl on the other side, who was wide-eyed and wondering why she was being talked about, and smiled calmly, "Such a wish is not big enough!"

"We, the Zhuzhou, want 'happiness for all beings'!"

The gods of Aura's world were the 'Ancestral Dragons', the supreme gods who created heaven and earth.

Judging by their current strength, the Ancestral Dragons were about the level of Hedao, not much different from the God-Kings of the Symphony Universe.

However, the Ancestral Dragons did not restrict anyone in their world from doing anything. Everyone could have their own wishes. As long as they were willing to bear the consequences of their choices, there were no heavenly laws, gods, or any suppressive forces to stop beings from making their own choices.

Moreover, the many Divine Dragons who came from that world were also exceptionally free—they could go to other worlds as ancient dragons, gods, adventurers, passing demon kings, or companions of heroes, as long as they wanted to, they would do it.

Therefore, Aura, who came from such a world, plus the teachings of a certain Primordial Zhuzhou, was never bound by fixed ideas from the beginning.

The artificial human girl, who created the Zhuzhou Church in the Divine Dragon World, overthrew the original kingdom, became the Holy Maiden of Innovation, and led the people of the entire world to explore many different worlds, stepping out of the Ancestral Dragon's embrace, would not have her thinking constrained by inherent ideas.

"This..."

Yalan was not just astonished, he was simply shocked.

--No one has ever stipulated the number of gods?

--The reason why the gods cannot continue is because the gods themselves are too weak?

--Why plunder power? Everyone can become a god themselves?

--One person's happiness is not enough... we want happiness for all beings?!

Indeed... indeed!!

Although he didn't know why, no one seemed to have ever thought about these questions in the past... but after thinking about it carefully, Yalan felt that it was indeed the case!

Yes, this universe has never had heavenly laws saying, 'There are only so many positions for gods, you can only go this far, no further'... nor has Heaven ever directly stated that the old gods pass away because new gods are born...

Rather, no one has ever said that becoming a god requires surpassing the former, right? Otherwise, wouldn't that become involution, where each time you have to do better than the last? If that were the case, how could the gods be so weak, and still suppress civilization to ensure their own godhood?

Having to surpass the former in order to achieve is the definition of innovation and transcendence, right? So theoretically, becoming a god only requires reaching a certain limit, so that the notes begin to play...

Without conflicting with anyone.

A symphony is meant to be played together, that's what makes it a symphony!

Although there may be objective factors such as the suona being louder, the bass being difficult to hear, and the viola always being ignored, the melody that should be there is still the melody. There is no reason for one side to absolutely suppress the other!

Yalan felt somewhat enlightened.

This world is right here, the Symphony Universe exists as it is. There is no obvious creator god, nor are there any heavenly laws or iron rules written at the bottom of the world. All the elements are figured out and defined by the Symphony Gods themselves.

They set constraints for themselves, create rules for themselves, and establish order. This cannot be said to be bad, but it is definitely not correct!

If fate is truly a long song of prophecy...

Then all the Symphony Gods have misinterpreted it!

"Fate has never said that the sounding of notes is destined..."

Thinking of this, Yalan's eyes widened and he gasped, "That's right! Fate hasn't said anything at all!"

"It's all the gods' own interpretations, their own assumptions! By what right do they say that the number of gods is limited, by what right do they say how to become a god is how to become a god? Who do they think they are!"

"If you ask me, fate is actually everyone becoming gods! Everyone is destined to become eternal and immortal gods, thereby allowing all things and beings to reach the realm of eternity... Wait, according to the fact that all of us Symphony people are manifestations of the Great Dao..."

"It seems that it's not impossible!!"

Just as Yalan was thinking about this possibility with surprise and uncertainty, he didn't see that his daughter, Eve, also had a thoughtful expression.

"That's right."

The little girl muttered to herself, "The gods' prophecy says that Daddy will die... but why should the gods' words count? Why should everything the gods say be true?"

Thinking this way, the golden-haired girl opened her eyes wide and looked at the white-haired girl, whose physical age seemed to be about the same as hers, "Aura-jie jie..."

"Does this mean that Daddy is not actually destined to die?"

"As long as you believe, it is fate. Yalan dying is fate, happiness for all beings is also fate, it depends on which one you believe."

Aura looked at Eve seriously and patiently taught, "This is a difficult concept to understand... the emptiness of emptiness, the emptiness of emptiness, everything is emptiness, there is nothing new under the sun, fate is also like this, as long as you believe, then it will come true."

"Firmly believing in your victorious ending, is that not also fate? But no matter when, don't forget to question, to think about the reason why you will be victorious, this is more important than being fearful and blindly believing."

As the purest Zhuzhou, Aura can be said to have completely learned Su Zhou's views.

And, most importantly.

"Don't always think of the enemy as too strong."

Raising her head, Aura looked at the sky above, "Sometimes, there are just so many people in this world who don't use their brains well."

It's impossible for everyone in this world to be idealists and intelligent.

Such enemies, although difficult to deal with, sometimes don't require fighting. Just showing the correct possibility can make them let go and admit defeat.

Just like the establishment of that great police station called Zhuzhou Tian, which has spread throughout the myriad worlds, representing innovation and salvation...

The battle and exchange between correct and correct is actually very simple.

On the other hand, the battle with errors, with those who purely give up... is the real hardship, without a single shortcut, requiring complete and thorough elimination and rectification.

Now Aura has completely determined her future plan.

Everyone becoming a god seems very difficult.

But that's only in other worlds. For the Lezhang world, where everyone is a manifestation of the Great Dao, it essentially only requires guiding out their power.

"Teachers."

Closing her eyes, Aura seemed to be whispering to herself, "At this time, I need your strength."

At this moment, the seven souls residing in the girl all laughed together.

"Of course."
