Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 3 Zhu Zhao is Also a Song! (5400)

Chapter 881 The Zhuzhou is Also a Song! (5400)

[Fleeting time, turn back—]

Faced with an invincible and terrifyingly powerful enemy, the passionately playing gods began to chant and summon ancient songs to combat the evil deity from the outer realms.

In the vast and boundless天地 (tian di, heaven and earth), the only reality is the present, and the past and future are but illusions—therefore, with a truthful and unwavering long song, they gathered all illusions, returning the phantoms of the past and future to the real other shore.

The earth-shaking songs stirred the power of the beginning of creation.

In the world of musical chapters, all the magic and miracles that mortals can use originate from the Great Creation Chapter, and the eternal song still overflows with endless divine power after creating time, destiny, and the world.

Likewise, as infinity, the Great Creation Chapter contains the possibility of all 'melodies,' and as notes of the chapter, all living beings can share its great miraculous power sufficient to create everything by chanting the melodies, replicating a part of the Great Creation Chapter.

Naturally.

Even the power of the gods slumbering in the past and waiting in the future can be awakened by songs!

Dang!

At this moment, Zhuzhou heard the chime.

Loud, clear, grand, and mighty, the booming sound that shook the clouds and the sky seemed to penetrate the past and the future. The distortion of space and time, visible to the naked eye, rotated like a gear between heaven and earth, causing dark cracks to spread in space and time, and then transform into dim runes-like imprints.

Dang, the chime was melodious and long, like a mighty river, washing over everything, smoothing out all rugged and sharp objects into their proper shapes.

[Who is it, that calls upon time?]

The illusory phantoms re-condensed into reality, or rather, a certain note originally lurking between heaven, earth, and all things was struck again, so the gods, who had merely slumbered, were awakened again, not truly having passed away.

For a time, time seemed to split. Around the phantom, time seemed to stagnate, while outside the phantom, the fleeting years flowed like an arrow, just like the eternally indestructible other shore and the sea of ​​suffering of time that washes the world.

And from this turbulent sea, an ancient god slowly rose. He had gray hair and a long beard, and his gnarled muscles were distinct and firm. He stepped out of time, opened his eyes, and what rotated in his eyes were the forward and reverse rotating clock hands, symbolizing the authority to separate heaven and earth, or to reunite them again.

Having heard the call of the current God-King, the Time God-King Aptu awakened from his eternal slumber. He saw the hideous and terrifying extraterrestrial evil god at first sight, and then he suddenly understood.

This solemn and sacred old god took out his weapon from the sea, which was the bow named 'Change' and the arrow named 'Entropy.' He aimed it at Zhuzhou.

[Overlapping day and night, twin light and shadow, be distinct—]

Dang!

The second chime was struck, and as the loud chime entered the sky and penetrated the wilderness, even the sun in the sky and the underworld below began to tremble.

Stars fell, and spirits overflowed from the earth. The stars and the dwelling places of heroes that all living beings thought to be eternally unchanging were undergoing drastic changes, and all things were embraced by light and darkness.

[Who is it, that yearns for light and darkness?]

The illusory phantoms returned to reality. In an instant, everything seemed to turn black and white. Their interweaving and overlapping formed the skeleton and shape of all things in the world. Now, the white goddess outlined her face with a black shadow as a frame, while the black goddess used white as a filling, so that her form could be distinct.

Embracing each other and hating each other, the twin God-Kings of light and shadow, day and night, reappeared from all things. They both had unparalleled beauty. The God-Kings heard the call and saw Zhuzhou, so they knew the reason for their awakening.

Thus, the shields and spears called 'Clarity' and 'Activity' were tightly held in the hands of the goddess of daylight; and the veils and harps called 'Haze' and 'Repose' were worn and played by the goddess of the night.

[The un-born starry sky, manifest now—]

At this moment, the three God-Kings of the past and present simultaneously struck the bell of the future. In the chaotic and hazy mist, starlight suddenly lit up. Gods who had not yet been born, God-Kings who were already destined, shone brightly inside and outside the天地 (tian di, heaven and earth). The God above all gods, who encompassed the stars and all things between heaven and earth, opened his eyes from the vague possibilities.

[Who is it, that seeks the heavens?]

This huge figure, dark and dim, but with extremely bright eyes, stepped out against the tide of time, and finally flew on the星宇长舟 (Xingyu Chang Zhou, Starry Sky Ark) representing 'curiosity', arriving in the present.

The vast and long bell that shook the heavens and the earth and resounded through the past, present, and future rang repeatedly. For a time, Zhuzhou was surrounded by the four pillar god systems of the world of musical chapters.

[Outsider, retreat, this is not a place where you can do as you please!]

The prelude, the sounding, the激奏 (jizou, passionate playing), and the final sound, the unparalleled aura overflowed. For a time, Zhuzhou, who was surrounded in the center, felt as if he was carrying an entire universe on his back. The terrifying pressure seemed to want to crush him, forcing him to kneel and submit here.

The current God-King Deus stepped forward. Although this powerful god of the firmament still had a fist mark on his head, he had recovered his spirit. This god held a huge God-King scepter, on which thunder and gale drummed, as if it could destroy everything.

"Good fellows."

At this moment, hearing Deus's announcement, Su Zhou looked at all this in surprise, then shook his head and muttered to himself: "Not only are you resisting arrest, but you are also calling your accomplices to attack me!"

He showed a solemn expression: "This is no ordinary crime anymore, I must go all out."

After watching a movie on Earth and sensing the call of the world of destiny, Su Zhou's main body descended to the vicinity of the Great Universe of Musical Chapters with the help of the Pioneer Space.

There was nothing to hesitate about. He naturally rushed straight in, beat up the local god system, and then was surrounded by the past and future helpers that the other party called out.

This, to be honest, is a novel experience for most of the powerhouses who seal the local multiverse.

Because within the sealed multiverse, it is basically impossible to easily cross time.

Su Zhou once heard Yala complain that in the former pan-infinite multiverse derivative axis, time magic and光阴 (guang yin, time/light and shadow) Taoism were rare and profound, but they were not secrets that could not be passed on. When going out, everyone would know how to use a small-scale time freeze to seal some spellcasting materials and other things that needed to be preserved.

There are three thresholds for time magic, one is learning, one is using it on non-intelligent biological targets, and one is using it on intelligent targets other than oneself.

Learning goes without saying. Most of the practitioners of time magic can only use it on themselves, allowing themselves to grow faster or become younger and return to their youth—this is the limit of most geniuses. If there is no adventure, even if they can become天仙 (tian xian, celestial immortals), that is all they can do, solidifying inanimate matter and reversing and accelerating the withering and flourishing of a tree.

But if you can use it on other intelligent targets other than yourself, time magic will become an infinitely powerful trump card. Before reaching the peak of the Great Heavenly Venerate, it can be guaranteed that one's own material and spirit will not be easily destroyed. Even gods and immortals have no resistance in the face of such supernatural powers.

But after breaking through合道 (he dao, Harmonization with the Dao), everything is different.

At that time, the合道 (he dao, Harmonization with the Dao) powerhouse can observe the past and the future, knowing all the possibilities. In the universe, they can foreknow the boundless history and know the infinite future. If a合道 (he dao, Harmonization with the Dao) is not stopped by others, they can create a time machine, change the past, and then change the present and the future, fundamentally manipulating the flow of the大道 (da dao, Great Dao) and controlling all things in the universe.

An entire world, in the palm of a合道 (he dao, Harmonization with the Dao) powerhouse, is nothing more than a bonsai to be cut as desired.

However, in the sealed universe, let alone low-level cultivators, even合道 (he dao, Harmonization with the Dao) powerhouses will encounter great backlash if they want to operate their supernatural powers and change the past and the future.

Why?

It's so simple. Not to mention the seal creator of the entire multiverse and the Great Seal not allowing it… there are a dozen great beings staying within this multiverse, watching all things.

Without permission, you want to correct time and go against the long river?

——You want to fight against them?

Where would I dare.jpg

So Su Zhou quickly realized that what the gods of the musical chapter were using was not the conventional meaning of reversing time.

"You are just taking shortcuts." He said so.

[Arrogance...]

Hearing this sentence, the Time God-King Aptu was not annoyed. He raised the longbow 'Change' and then shot the 'Arrow of Entropy.' Immediately, a terrifying shattering sound spread throughout天地 (tian di, heaven and earth). Whether it was the sky, the earth, the mountains, or space and time itself, they all began to shatter, turning into thin clouds of dust, dispersing into dim powder without any brilliance.

The dim arrow that shattered and destroyed everything shot towards Su Zhou's right eye.

But the youth did not dodge or avoid it. He stood in place, allowing this arrow to hit his right eye. Immediately, it could be seen that the arrow of entropy, which was originally indestructible, not only did not destroy anything, but instead collapsed on itself.

"I have no end. Eternal time has passed, and I can still be eternal."

In front of a合道 (he dao, Harmonization with the Dao) powerhouse, entropy is too weak, nothing more than a toy that can be easily reversed. Su Zhou blew out a breath, and a surging stream of negative entropy stirred up a gust of wind, blowing the arrow of entropy backwards.

Although somewhat exaggerated, the fact is not much different. Unless violence surpassing him is used to destroy all his karma, Su Zhou can live to the end of the multiverse. The Time God-King cannot overpower him with brute force, so it is impossible to affect his time.

But this arrow ultimately consumed Su Zhou's attention. Just when the youth was fighting against Aptu, the Night Goddess Noel played a乐章 (yue zhang, musical chapter). Endless black mist was born from the void, enveloping the gods and Zhuzhou. She created a dark world with a hazy veil and a harp of repose, turning it into a solid prison as a battlefield.

At the same time, the nameless Starry Sky God-King drove a神舟 (shen zhou, divine ark) in the sky, and the Firmament God-King Deus raised his scepter, repeatedly smashing down lightning that could split the world and the universe. Even if Su Zhou stretched out his hand and blocked every attack with his palm, he would occasionally grab a few gales and thunderbolts and throw them back.

However, the Day Goddess-King Pulanfu protected the firmament and the starry sky, raising an inviolable divine shield and blocking Su Zhou's attacks one by one.

In the dark world, it didn't matter what kind of damage was caused. Mountains shattered, the earth collapsed, and the sky trembled and fell. The nine layers of the sky where the gods lived were destroyed and reshaped layer by layer, merely as barriers to block the advance of the alien god.

And with the God-Kings fighting hard and blessing, the gods who had been heavily strengthened also charged forward.

Su Zhou's power far exceeded the imagination of the four God-Kings. He sometimes transformed into a violent dragon form, wrestling with the Titan giant god who represented the earth itself and had the greatest power among the gods. Although the earth persisted for a long time, it was ultimately defeated by the incredible brute force of the cosmic divine dragon, and its body emitted a distorted and terrifying scream.

Sometimes he would transform into a flying bird, soaring through the starry sky, engaging in aerial combat with the divine boat driven by the Starry Sky God-King. The two sides flipped up and down at the top of the boundless and vast sky, making all kinds of maneuvers that violated the laws of physics. They threw神官 (shen guan, divine officials) and flames at each other, throwing恒星 (heng xing, fixed star) and shining stars at each other like baseballs.

Even, both sides had considered throwing black holes at each other, but in that case, even the Night Goddess's protection would be difficult to protect the Ilotar continent where many mortals lived, so they all gave up this battle method.

Sometimes, Su Zhou would also transform into a divine tree. He occupied the earth, spread his branches in the sky, and drew water and soil from the earth, shaping a new continent and breeding new life—various Zhuzhou phantoms were conceived and born from the fruits of the divine tree, each of which had power comparable to a god, causing the gods to fall into bitter battles.

Breath, divine arts, miracles, magic, intertwined in every corner of the sky and the earth; and the whistling of swinging knives, the sound of shields colliding, and the潺潺 (chan chan, gurgling) of blood flowing from broken bodies could also be truly heard by everyone.

Naturally, some gods died. Even as Zhuzhou cut off one of his left hands, at the cost of being cut down by the God of Destruction, he also slashed out with a knife, killing the Day Goddess-King who had repeatedly blocked his attack, erasing the大道 (da dao, Great Dao).

However, accompanied by the gods shouting loudly and singing hymns praising the daylight, with a flash of brilliance, the Goddess-King, who should have fallen into the wound of the大道 (da dao, Great Dao) and fallen into slumber, returned to the world, once again holding a spear and shield, fighting more skillfully and cautiously.

The immortal and indestructible gods, and the un-decaying合道 (he dao, Harmonization with the Dao), the war between the two sides was almost endless, deadlocked here.

But the premise is that the two sides are only fighting, without other ideas.

Soon after, during not too long an observation, Su Zhou suddenly realized something after killing the Time God-King again.

He listened to the eternal songs sung by the gods, carefully watched the God-King who was reborn once again, and then widened his eyes.

"So that's how it is—you are all the present, and you are all the past and future!"

The youth realized at this moment, and then smiled and said: "All the notes of the乐章 (yue zhang, musical chapter) are connected together. As long as the Eternal Song does not end, the past, present, and future are all one. You are natural superposition states, simultaneously existing between all things. Only when outsiders arrive will the 'possibility' of collapsing and forming!"

"In this way, even if I go to kill, what I kill is just a possibility. As long as you call the notes again, naturally a completely unharmed God of Light and Shadow will come out of the past and the future and fight me again!"

With his perspective as a peak合道 (he dao, Harmonization with the Dao), Su Zhou could naturally see that the Great Universe of Musical Chapters was indeed different from a normal material universe… It was not a material sphere formed by the explosion of infinitely large energy matter. As the name suggests, the乐章 (yue zhang, musical chapter) universe was really a 'song'!

A 'song' containing all the information of the infinite universe!

The existence of the song itself is the world for the notes, which is true; and for outsiders, everything they hear, that is, the song itself, is also true, but outsiders, such as Su Zhou, still have a material entity after all, so they cannot completely integrate into the entire song universe.

He can only insert a fragment of the song. He can only be in the 'present' and cannot affect the past and the future.

But the God-Kings of the Great Universe of Musical Chapters, as the four most important big notes in this song, originally ran through the entire song's keynote, from beginning to end, but each had a different period of activity.

If necessary, of course, they can cross the river of光阴 (guang yin, time/light and shadow) in the 乐章 (yue zhang, musical chapter) universe and join forces to fight against him!

No matter how powerful Su Zhou is, he can only erase their present, and once the present is destroyed, naturally new possibilities will emerge and collapse, the God-King will be resurrected, and fight the youth again!

Similarly, the song universe cannot completely affect him—although the attacks of the gods can hurt him, Su Zhou cannot feel any essential danger at all… In other words, even if the gods of the Great Universe of Musical Chapters defeat Su Zhou, they will only defeat one of his大道 (da dao, Great Dao) incarnations, and cannot affect the essence of Su Zhou's大道 (da dao, Great Dao) in every corner of the multiverse.

The two sides are not the same 'origin system' of 'existence' at all… These are completely different大道 (da dao, Great Dao)! With fundamentally different multiverse foundations!

Simply put, one is Android and the other is Apple. The two can interact, but most of the time they are scratching the surface, and neither can fundamentally threaten the other from the origin.

"That Great Creation Chapter sounds a lot like the completed form of 'Destiny Spectrum', one of the 'Supreme Destiny Inheritances'… It is very likely to be a supreme inheritance proof of the洪流 (hong liu, deluge) level. Although it is not the original world, I am afraid it is also an extremely special great inheritance world. Pioneer Space did not lie to me, but it did not say everything."

Continuing to fight the gods, Su Zhou fell into deep thought at this moment.

The four major神系 (shen xi, god systems) of 乐章 (yue zhang, musical chapter) naturally do not care about stalemating with Su Zhou. They are part of the eternal song that runs through the past and the future. The longer they delay his battle, the deeper the fates of Yalan and Eve will sink.

As for himself, one is for the anchor point of the浑天之界 (Hun Tian Zhi Jie, World of Primordial Chaos), the second is to find a way to weave fate and resist destiny, and the third is to rescue the报警者 (bao jing zhe, whistleblower) from the crime scene. None of the three goals can be delayed, and only by defeating the other party can he complete all the goals.

"No, as a person, I cannot defeat a song."

Su Zhou realized at this moment: "I can listen to a song, or praise it, or deny it, but those are all my personal thoughts—what can defeat a song is only another, better song."

"In other words, a better possibility… just like the inevitable conquest between Yala and destiny in the past, it is a battle between possibility and destiny!"

"I will also become a song!"

This is indeed a way of thinking. The material Su Zhou can only affect the present, so he cannot completely defeat the four pillar神系 (shen xi, god systems), but if he also transforms into a song, affecting the past and the future, and integrates into the Eternal Song as a 'melody'.

Then, he can naturally replace the tunes of the four pillar gods, and then truly defeat these special system合道 (he dao, Harmonization with the Dao)!

However, the most important question comes.

——Can Zhuzhou be a song?

Su Zhou asked himself this, and then laughed loudly.

——Of course!

——Zhuzhou can be a dragon, a bird, a tree, a person, an egg, and even everything; Zhuzhou is a thought, and naturally it can be a song!

——How can Zhuzhou be such an inconvenient thing!

So, accompanied by a burst of laughter, under the inexplicable and then astonished gaze of the gods, the body of Zhuzhou, which was originally fighting them with all its strength, suddenly collapsed.

Accompanied by a new, shocking knock like a grand bell and chime.

A new melody was born!
