Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 8 I Used Inevitable to Make Your Inevitable Inevitable
On the continent of Yilota in the Overture Epoch, almost the entire world was desert, with only scattered oases dotting this vast yellow map like stars in the night sky.
Upper and Lower Ailan were the two most powerful countries in this barren land. Besides them, there were countless oasis city-states and small countries. Everywhere between heaven and earth were terrifying barbaric monsters and demigod heroes, messengers who could hear divine pronouncements, and warriors and musicians wielding miracles, weaving their own stories on this ancient yet vibrant land.
Naturally, the story of the guard Alan and Princess Eve was the most resounding movement of this era.
It was the sweltering beginning of August, and the midday sun shone brightly on the world. Not a single wisp of cloud floated in the sky, as the sword-like sunlight mercilessly struck all living things.
However, with the opening of a silver spacetime gate, a burst of vitality surged forth, and a cool breeze emerged from it, dispelling the heat.
The guard Alan looked in astonishment at the portal, which was releasing powerful energy fluctuations and was at least a 'Great Miracle'. Princess Eve's eyes showed vigilance as she raised the dagger in her hand, protecting Alan.
Although called a princess, this slender blonde woman was not a delicate lady. The princess of Upper Ailan naturally had to be skilled in horsemanship and archery. Although her martial skills were far from being able to compare with Alan, who could single-handedly fight against more than thirty elite assassins and defeat them, she was not without the ability to protect herself.
【Primal Sunlit Luminary】and【Renovation】? There were no such titles among the true gods of the world. After the great King of Gods, Aputu, the God of Time, the names of the nine main gods were remembered by all the people of Yilota.
Without a doubt, the Primal Sunlit Luminary was an evil god.
At the very least, an Outer God.
Thinking carefully...chanting summoning words, using the mysterious whispers echoing in one's mind as the source, and building bizarre geometric forums that could not exist in the human world to call upon distant deities from the unknown...
And the ideology of Renovation, in a way, could it also be a form of spiritual pollution, completely changing a person into someone different from before, or even assimilating them into the Sunlit Luminary...
This kind of thing was really dangerous!
"If we weren't trapped in the desert right now, and you weren't so seriously injured, this kind of thing shouldn't be done no matter what."
Eve knew that if she wanted to heal Alan, she had to use a miracle. And once she praised the gods and called upon a miracle, the kingdom of Lower Ailan would hear the news and surround them once again.
At that time, without reinforcements, the two of them had a high probability, or rather, would almost certainly die.
And Eve didn't want Alan to die, and vice versa.
It was precisely because of this desperate situation that Eve and Alan agreed to respond to the revelation of this Outer God, build an altar, and summon His 'messenger'.
"Actually..."
Alan took a breath of the vibrant wood energy and felt that his injuries had improved slightly, lifting his spirits. Eve also felt a clarity in her mind, and the anger that had arisen from panic and nervousness gradually dissipated.
When Zhou Buyi walked out of the spacetime gate, these two unlucky lovers were slightly surprised again.
In their imagination, the messenger of the Outer God must be hideous and terrifying, or a bizarre form that mortals could not understand - this was not prejudice, but before the Sunlit Luminary, many Outer Gods had indeed come to the world of the Movements, and their messengers were mostly strange shapes.
And Zhou Buyi, although they couldn't understand what a graceful gentleman was due to different aesthetics, they could still see that this black-haired, green-eyed man with a smile on his face was so perfect in appearance that he could almost be compared to the gods in the sky!
And the pressure and power contained within him were as vast as the sea. Alan was already a strong man on the continent of Yilota. If he used his full strength, he could destroy cities and shake a region, but this power was as insignificant as a drop of water in the ocean when facing Zhou Buyi.
"God!"
Unlike Alan, Eve, who had truly seen the power of the gods, widened her golden eyes. She instantly understood Zhou Buyi's power. Although it couldn't be compared to the main gods, this power was indeed the divine power of a great god!
This was a true god! A god of the mortal realm!
"So you are the ones who summoned me? Nice to meet you, my name is Zhou Buyi."
This god generously reached out his hand, without any arrogance, to help Alan up from the ground.
"My name is Alan." "My name is Eve."
Alan naturally didn't hesitate. He gripped Zhou Buyi's hand and used his strength to stand up. With this touch, the man sensed a rich vitality pouring out from the other's body, entering his own. In just a moment, his accumulated injuries, old hidden wounds, and even the soul fatigue caused by overexertion in battle were completely healed by this power!
Zhou Buyi also bowed to Eve. After the two sides exchanged greetings, Zhou Buyi looked around the world, watching this desert world with great interest.
"The feeling of a world reborn, although it's a desert, it actually has infinite vitality, just dormant, waiting for someone to guide it so it can transform into a vast and beautiful scene."
The deified tree, formed from a human, sighed, "That guy Su Zhou invited me to come here, is he planning to have me plant trees and create forests?"
In his mind, there was all the information about the Great World of the Movements that Su Zhou had instilled. Zhou Buyi naturally found the gods who controlled the fate of mortals quite hateful, but Su Zhou didn't explain his purpose or tell him how he would help Alan and Eve in this era.
He completely let Zhou Buyi be free, completely trusting that his old comrade could find a way that he thought was good.
Zhou Buyi naturally had this confidence. To say nothing of the fact that he had healed Alan, which had already greatly changed the so-called 'plot'. In the Pioneer Space, this was at least a B-level opening permission, starting with 5000 exploration points.
On the other side, while Zhou Buyi was observing the surrounding world, Alan and Eve confirmed with each other and were pleasantly surprised to find that they had indeed completely recovered. In this case, even if they encountered the assassin group of Lower Ailan again, it was not impossible to fight.
"Excuse me, Mr. Zhou Buyi... or Sunlit Luminary emissary?"
After a brief moment of joy, Alan suppressed his excitement and stepped forward, respectfully saluting Zhou Buyi. "Please, what price do we need to pay for this miracle?"
In the world of Yilota, transcendent power was expressed in three ways.
One way was to hone the melody within oneself, like Alan, transforming one's body into a part of the miracle, unleashing unimaginable destructive power.
Another way was like Eve, who could sing all kinds of songs and use the rhythm to echo the power of the Great Movement of Creation, creating all sorts of magical phenomena.
And the third way was to offer sacrifices to the gods, obtaining the void, and then receiving divine power.
Any power had a price. The first required arduous training, the second required persistent perception of the sounds of heaven and earth, and the third, needless to say, sacrifice was inherently an exchange of price.
"I don't need a price."
Zhou Buyi lowered his head and looked at Alan and Eve.
This anthropomorphic divine tree, whose face was even more tender than when he last met Su Zhou, shook his head. "I'm not a Sunlit Luminary emissary either. I am the Sunlit Luminary."
He raised his head, looked at the sky, and smiled softly, "I'm just here to help you and change this world at someone's invitation."
"Help us..." The former two were easy for them to understand, but the latter made Alan and Eve look at each other, their faces showing confusion. "Why change the world?"
They didn't think there was anything wrong with this world.
Living in it for too long, they had long been accustomed to the desert and the oasis, and couldn't even imagine a better world. They could only think of more oases and more cities.
And this point was difficult for Zhou Buyi, who came from the world of the Divine Wood, where even the sun was wrapped by the Starry Sky Divine Wood, and it was so green and pollution-free to the extreme.
Zhou Buyi sighed and looked at the two of them, patiently explaining, "You two, I can help you survive, but that's the smallest thing."
"I don't really care about your destiny, and I think the war between your two countries is very ordinary. It's just the most common struggle between two countries for resources."
"But no matter how much you fight, the oasis is so big. It's a zero-sum game of dividing the cake, the most foolish game."
As he spoke, Zhou Buyi's cyan-green eyes, looking at the barren trees in front of him, were full of confidence and determination. "And I can make the cake bigger."
"Make the world a better place."
"Cut off the root of the war between the two countries from the source, cut off the possibility of you encountering danger. In a new world, even if you have a new destiny, it will have nothing to do with your current fate."
Zhou Buyi took a step forward.
He stretched out his hand, wanting to use his power - the Inherited Wood was a super life form that could grow and thrive on the moon, Mars, and even in the methane atmosphere of Jupiter's satellites. A mere desert could be said to be an incredibly fertile land.
However, at the moment the man stretched out his hand, he felt something was wrong... The foundation of this world's existence did not allow him to use his power so simply and crudely. Although it was not impossible to use, forcibly using it would only be counterproductive and could not be echoed by the world itself.
"I see."
Letting out a silent laugh, Zhou Buyi retracted his hand. He shook his head and complained, "I said, with Su Zhou's artistic talent, he wouldn't suddenly write a song for himself."
"A melody? To add my own piece to this infinitely large composition that created the world, so that the world will recognize me."
The man retracted his hand, and then, with a flick of his wrist, a light green jade flute appeared in Zhou Buyi's palm.
Then, before Alan and Eve could react, a quiet flute sound rang out.
It was like a gentle breeze blowing through a bamboo forest, or a swift rainstorm streaking across the sky. The life energy was so rich to the extreme, the cyan-green wood energy surged, making the world light up.
"This is, a piece I've never heard before..."
Eve opened her eyes wide. Although the blonde princess had never heard the sound of this strange instrument before, melody had no borders. As long as one was human, even if they couldn't appreciate it, they could know what a tune was and what the emotions in the melody were.
Alan was even simpler. He didn't understand music very well, but he could better understand the tenacity contained in the seemingly lonely desolation of the flute sound, just like grass and trees.
- Alone, supporting civilization.
Immortality is a curse, immortality is a calamity.
But immortality is also a blessing, immortality is also watching over.
Immortality itself is also the responsibility of the immortal.
Suddenly.
Under the scorching sun, a verdant green color suddenly bloomed in the desert.
The ancient desert, which was once an oasis in even more ancient times, had long-dead roots and withered branches that suddenly revived under the miracle of the melody, re-extending their branches and leaves.
In an instant, before Alan and Eve could react, with Zhou Buyi as the center, the entire desert had become lush and verdant, transforming into a vibrant oasis. A spring of clear water gushed out from the cracks in the earth, appearing clear and cool surrounded by various green grasses.
The flute sound was melodious, with a vast sound of ancient times, like the clamor of a tree sea, the tumbling of countless leaves. As Zhou Buyi walked forward, a green dot appeared on the map of the Yilota continent, which was almost entirely made of yellow sand.
Then, this dot extended, transforming into a green line.
Feelings? Love? Destiny? Are the lovers who are reborn after death still the original lovers?
Originally, Alan and Eve of the Overture Epoch would face such difficulties and problems. They could not solve them, they could only accept them, so they would eventually lead to that tragic ending.
But Zhou Buyi never cared about such trivial matters - what did it matter what the problem was, wouldn't it be fine to directly transform this desert world into a forest world!
On the earth, Zhou Buyi, the deified tree Sunlit Luminary from another world, was summoning a clear wind to sweep the land, covering the desert with a curtain of branches and leaves, transforming the entire world like a god of creation, the master of the ecosystem.
And above the sky, the gods were still fighting with the Primal Sunlit Luminary.
【Is this your plan? Summoning dependents from another world, transforming the world, changing the stage, so that destiny will be defeated without a fight?】
The God of Time Aputu stood on the shoulder of the Mountain God. This sturdy old man was shooting out arrows of time again and again, facing Su Zhou's flames and thunder.
The two sides fought in the cracks of the world. They fought each other with human bodies in distant times, facing each other with swords in the near future. The God-King had divine power above all things in his era. He scolded the heavens and bound the Divine Dragon, preventing the opponent from dodging.
【Impossible】He said solemnly:【The so-called destiny is an irresistible ending - even if that divine wood Sunlit Luminary makes the entire Yilota continent everywhere lush and full of milk and honey, the greed of the human heart cannot be satisfied, and humans will always fight】
【Even without the hatred of Upper and Lower Ailan, humans will still attack each other for race, skin color, accent, region, or even simple food preferences... Not to mention faith and interests, and as long as there is war, as long as there are contradictions, eternity and change will be involved, and then embark on a destiny that is difficult to choose!】
【Your apostles will be wiped out by the apostles of our gods. You can block us, but you can't block those mortals】
【Wait, all the demigod heroes in the world, all the messengers who can hear divine pronouncements, will go to wipe out that divine wood Sunlit Luminary...】
The corner of the God-King's mouth curled up. He opened his longbow and drew one of the seven great divine arrows of time from his quiver:【He will die】
'Regret' 'Unwillingness' 'Numbness' 'Fear' 'Neglect' and the powerful 'Entropy' and 'Inevitable'.
This was an arrow that was guaranteed to hit, guaranteed to hurt, and guaranteed to severely injure the enemy once it was shot.
Even though he had fought countless times with outer gods in the past, the God of Time had never used this strike that represented the power of destiny. He drew his bow and nocked an arrow.
【And you will fail】
Then, Aputu declared:【This is 'Inevitable'!】
An arrow was shot, and the intangible divine arrow gathered and formed, just like the limited must be counted, just like life must face death, just like the reflection of light must produce shadow, just like the existence of the sky must have the land below, and the existence of the starry sky must have the endless distance.
The divine arrow was irreversible, unstoppable, and unresistable - all techniques and defenses could not cope with this arrow. It cut through time and space, and it seemed that even time itself could not affect the absoluteness of this arrow.
In front of it, the Great Dao was pierced through.
"Crack."
However, facing this strike that could be called the pinnacle of the Dao Integration realm, the Divine Dragon with a triangular head raised its head, opened its mouth, and directly swallowed this guaranteed-kill arrow into its stomach.
"Inevitable? Delicious."
He chewed it, causing an explosion that was enough to destroy the world to churn in his mouth. Su Zhou swallowed this one of the seven great divine arrows, the artifact that the God-King valued the most, in the expression of shock and anger on the face of the God of Time Aputu.
Opening his mouth to show the other party his empty teeth, the Divine Dragon laughed loudly: "You say it's inevitable, so it's inevitable? Who the hell do you think you are?"
"I will also inevitably take your strike without injury. Look, my inevitable made your inevitable inevitable. If you dare say this word again, I will inevitably make you collapse completely when you hear this word!"
If this sad world was destined to have tragedies happen again and again, then it would be fine to change it again and again.
As for those demigod heroes, divine pronouncement messengers, and apostles of the gods.
The Divine Dragon lowered his head and glanced at the world beneath the sky.
He smiled: "I believe in Zhou Buyi."
"Perhaps you don't know, but I know better than anyone... In another world, he is also a true protagonist."
On the earth.
Zhou Buyi seemed to sense something.
The man put down the jade flute, narrowed his green eyes, and looked into the distance thoughtfully: "It seems that this world's 'suppression force', or rather, 'world restoration force', has appeared."
As the world leader who first cooperated with the explorers of the Pioneer Space, he naturally knew better than most people that every world possessed a kind of 'trend'. This trend was like the fact that humans who did not agree with each other would definitely have a civil war. It was a great trend created by various factors.
And what the pioneer explorers wanted to change was such a fixed trend, bringing it to a new, never-before-seen future.
In other words, the pioneer explorers were those who reversed the great trend - they could even be said to be the enemies of destiny!
Of course, there were too many enemies of destiny... Chaos, Exploration, Miracle, Transcendence, who didn't want to blast Him?
At the very least, Zhou Buyi, who was now the Sunlit Luminary, also wanted to.
So, Alan and Eve saw the well-mannered man take out a warship from who knew where.
"Ah?"
Not only was Alan dumbfounded, but even Eve, who was always dignified and polite, was stunned in place, looking up at this 'transformable spaceship-hyperspace divine wood fortress', which suddenly appeared in mid-air with a 'pop' and was more than eight thousand meters long, unable to say anything for a while.
That was a generation ship that could accommodate more than a million people, and it could also be transformed into a super robot invincible fortress... This thing was not very special, and its existence was very reasonable in many interstellar background worlds.
However, for the world of Yilota, which had a magical fantasy background... this was obviously a little...
"If you want to fight against the trend, you need to collapse the world's style of painting."
Just as the 'male and female protagonists' of this world were shocked to the point of being almost demented, Zhou Buyi, who knew very well what the natives of primitive civilization would react to seeing a super-cool high-tech spaceship, laughed and used a homing beam to take them into the fortress.
The man, driving the spaceship, was full of spirit and said: "You fall in love, and I will engage in world reform; you deal with the demon king subjugation, and I will immediately turn to cosmic warfare."
"You want magical fantasy, and I will directly wash the ground with high-tech ship guns; you play a desert Western movie, and I will immediately plant trees and create forests!"
Behind Zhou Buyi stood the extravagantly dressed male and female protagonists of the costume fantasy tragic love time-travel drama in the high-tech bridge they had never seen before, surveying the various electronic facilities with the logo of the Tianzheng Alliance immigrant fleet.
After being shocked, Alan, the guard, and Eve, the princess, fell into silence.
Afterward, Zhou Buyi's clear instructions could be heard.
"Come here, Alan, you come and control this arc disintegration cannon to bombard that earth elemental titan who is said to be a descendant of the mountain god!"
"You, Eve, go and control that positron annihilation cannon to wipe out the priest group that is chanting great miracles over there!"
"... Yes!" "Okay!" That was the habitual acceptance of instructions and the eagerness to try after a well-behaved girl could finally do bad things.
So, everything changed.
The turbulent military song sounded, and the epic-like musical performance reverberated between heaven and earth at the moment the hyperspace divine wood fortress was launched.
The costume fantasy tragic love time-travel drama became a demon king script in which the envoys of the gods fought against the demon king after a brief tree planting and environmental protection propaganda film.
And now, it has completely become a strange war in which the collapsed style of painting and aliens invade the fantasy world.
Under the guidance of the great Divine Wood Captain Zhou Buyi, Alan, the guard, and Eve, the princess, have also become Alan, the matter shock cannon operator, and Eve, the beam cannon shooter.
"Amazing! It should be changed like this, or rather, it can only be changed like this!"
Su Zhou's wild laughter resounded through the ancient epoch sky, and the God-King's furious voice shook the heavens and the earth, but it seemed so powerless.
- Destiny?
- Renovation is to defeat destiny!
