Chapter 872 Not Taking Shortcuts (W-Sized Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

——The soul is like water, nourishing the heart and soul. Consuming it can transform spiritual energy, replenish qi, benefit supernatural power cultivation, and strengthen the foundation.

In the modern era, where most cultivation methods that involve killing, seizing souls, and devouring spirits have been categorized as 'heretical paths,' few people know the taste of the soul.

Similarly, few people know the complex flavors contained within the various thoughts and memories of the soul. Whether bizarre or delicious, they are unforgettable.

But Su Zhou is an exception. As the Devouring Demon Lord, he is perhaps the person in the world most capable of understanding the complete flavor of the soul.

Because regardless of the method, when a person dies, their true spirit falls into reincarnation, and the soul itself will irreversibly begin to deteriorate and collapse. Unless the soul is strong enough that even the collapse of the physical body cannot destabilize the true spirit, then everyone, after death, will transform into a vengeful ghost, a spirit with little intelligence.

Only evil souls can use resentment as a filler to stabilize the soul, transform it into resources, and preserve the most complete 'flavor'.

And Su Zhou's evaluation of the taste of souls is actually 'average'.

Compared to high-concentration spiritual energy, even evil souls are only superior in the taste contained in their memories and resentments—here, we are not talking about the power and inheritance gained after consumption, only the taste.

It's just water. Whether it's mountain spring water, tap water, seawater, or lake water, it's all water in the end.

Why?

The answer is simple, because spiritual energy itself, in a sense, is the 'soul of the world'.

When a stone becomes an elemental, it is because spiritual energy has condensed into a soul, granting the stone the power to move and think. This is what it means to become an elemental.

And the spiritual energy of the universe itself will, as cultivators increase in number, constantly be created from nothing in the void, or obtain power from the infinite source, becoming more and more abundant. This is also part of the process of becoming an elemental.

It is like the universe will of the World of Creation. The reason why it could be born is because the World of Creation reached its peak, and thus the universe itself became an elemental, possessing a soul and consciousness.

The unceasing circulation of spiritual energy veins in the universe is the soul of the universe—cultivators who absorb spiritual energy are, in essence, absorbing and devouring the soul of the universe, transforming it into their own power.

Therefore, in many cultivation systems, cultivation itself is a kind of plunder of the universe, a kind of 'karma', and thus one experiences various tribulations.

The soul of a person, and the soul of the universe, the soul of the world, are essentially no different. This is also why living beings can cultivate to a realm comparable to the universe itself—because sentient beings are indeed equal.

So their tastes are actually not fundamentally different.

Then, the question arises.

A Dao Harmonization expert, a powerful individual who has cultivated from a 'human' to a level comparable to, or even surpassing, the 'universe'.

His soul, his Great Dao. Condensed from endless spiritual energy, and even surpassing the essence of spiritual energy, that ultimate combination of obsession and supernatural power, that can achieve the 'Soul of the Great Dao,' the 'Dao of Evil'.

What does it taste like?

Su Zhou is trying.

Youquan's Dao is a black and white rotating spring, constantly gushing, eternally sustained. In some worlds, this spring can be called a 'Great Dao Treasure,' an 'Eternal Artifact.' Based on this, one can even create an entire Youquan universe.

Its power is endless, eternally inexhaustible, the void exists eternally, and the multiverse is immortal and imperishable. However, it cannot erupt with infinitely great power, nor can it spread to infinitely large territories, so it cannot be considered a torrent, nor is it a seed of transcendence.

In the end, it is still just a soul.

However, this soul, this Great Dao, is the answer condensed from the lifelong will of Youquan, this Dao Harmonization expert.

"I originally thought that the power of the Devouring Demon Lord was just to make me stronger quickly, so that I could kill anyone I wanted to kill at will, without feeling guilty."

Holding this black and white boundless spring, Su Zhou turned his head and said to Hongshi, who was watching the spring with a solemn expression: "But later, I realized that I devour those evils just to know the reason why they are evil—a question has an answer, and an answer naturally has a question."

"Why do I think they are wrong? These answers, as I devour them, will in turn allow me to raise one question after another—my choice will become the karma that I will bear."

"This is the true meaning of 'Chaos', even if it is killing at will, the evil of free conviction, I still have to bear the consequences of my choice, the results of my devouring, and then draw my own answer."

He said with emotion: "This is the most powerful path to enlightenment in the multiverse, and also the fastest and most convenient path to becoming a demon."

[Is this how you grew? Devouring these evils and transforming them into your own power?]

Understanding how Su Zhou has accumulated such vast power and foundation, Hongshi was almost in shock: [You haven't been demonized? Haven't the memories and Dao Intent you devoured affected your will? Caused you to doubt yourself?]

Even He did not dare to guarantee that he would not be affected in any way.

"Of course," Su Zhou said, "Do these Daos deserve to demonize me?"

"At the very least, it has to be correct to make me briefly doubt myself."

Saying this, he raised his hand and swallowed the black and white spring.

That was a completely different feeling from an evil soul.

For a time, Su Zhou felt as if he had swallowed a star universe.

Extremely complex, extremely vast things slowly rotated and erupted in Su Zhou's mouth, like boundless galaxies rotating and intersecting, containing thousands upon thousands of incredibly complex flavors.

There was a clear sweetness, as well as an extreme spiciness; there was a sorrowful bitterness, as well as a flavorful aftertaste.

If one had to say, Youquan's Great Dao Soul tasted like a carbonated soda with countless bizarre seasonings—the feeling of a star exploding leaped within his soul, bringing many strange, brilliant tastes that branched out into countless possibilities.

It could be delicious. It could also be spicy. Unlike the past, where he could not choose, the current Su Zhou can freely choose the flavor he wants to taste and the power he wants to obtain.

The most intense flavor in Youquan's soul is naturally the process of His discussing the Dao and fighting with other Dao Harmonization experts, which is also the essence of the entire Dao of Life and Death Youquan—after Youquan 'dies', there always needs to be an existence in this multiverse to support these Great Daos.

Youquan's Dao Soul was originally that existence, and now, that existence has become Su Zhou.

He is now carefully choosing to taste the most bland, most tasteless part.

The part where Youquan interacted with his mortal subordinates.

That is the most important flavor of the Dao Harmonization Soul.

[The Dao Soul of the Heavenly Dao of Life, Death, Existence, and Stillness • Youquan]

[The breath of survival and demise, the change of stillness and movement, the selfish love that can only be witnessed in the rotation, the Great Dao that has never faced the hearts of the common people]

[A Dao Soul with no evil thoughts and no good thoughts, overlooking the ripples of the spring from above the heavens]

[After use, obtain the Great Dao authority of the Youquan Heavenly Dao]

[After use, obtain the supernatural power of 'Myriad Phenomena Exist and Cease']

[After use, obtain the Dao Weapon 'Great Dao Wheel of Life and Death']

[After use, obtain the inheritance of 'Life and Death Youquan']

[The heavens do not hate people, but only love the concept of 'people']

[The Heavenly Dao that overlooks the heavens can only see a hazy shadow. As long as the overall progress of humankind continues, the Heavenly Dao will not experience what specific suffering, what tribulations, how many deaths and injuries, or how many epochs of reincarnation have occurred]

[Strength is evil, love is sin. Because the heavens forcefully bestow expectations upon all living beings, they cannot refuse]

No need to choose, Dao Harmonization allows you to have it all.

Su Zhou closed his eyes, feeling the infinitely complex flavor, the taste of rotation in Youquan's endless time. After the initial bitterness, spiciness, and sourness, a faint sweetness finally diffused in his heart.

—Life and death are the passing of time; stillness and movement are the changes of all things.

A hundred generations of living beings are but travelers in the world; the vast heaven and earth are only temporary resting places for all things. Time flows like water, and the countless living beings under the heavens are constantly born, grow old, wither, and revolve without end.

Su Zhou sensed that the Dao of Youquan is a Great Dao similar to the Dao of Reincarnation, but compared to the true meaning of reincarnation, which is 'the true spirit is immortal, all things are eternal, reincarnation is endless, and transcends the mortal world', Youquan's Dao does not have such a high ideal.

He simply believes that 'the cycle of life and death' is the truth that exists between all things, and is also a means for life to become stronger, civilization to sublimate, and the world to advance.

Without experiencing life and death, people cannot be forced to develop their potential, civilizations cannot eliminate the various accumulated dross of the past and start anew with a clean slate, and the world is even more so. Without experiencing the Great Extinction, it cannot begin the Great Gestation.

In this respect, Youquan is not wrong.

Where He is wrong is in equally bestowing his Dao upon all things.

And this is the greatest inequality.

Simply put, Lord of Quietude never interfered—His reincarnation is 'the world will eventually be destroyed, but new worlds will appear' 'human warfare is constantly ongoing, and war will re-emerge after peace' 'the progress of society is a cycle of turning, a process of spiral ascent'.

This kind of reincarnation represents a natural law of development, a correctness.

What about Youquan? He himself creates disasters, destroys all things, and then protects civilizations to survive the destruction, allowing those terrified and desperate people to experience His 'cycle of life and death' in endless confusion.

The Dao of the Lord of Quietude does not need to be denied, this is the characteristic of correctness. What's more, the Lord of Quietude expects that there will be an existence that can transcend these cycles.

He expects 'the world will not be destroyed, and new worlds will appear', He expects 'there will be no war on earth, and peace will be eternally prolonged', the Lord of Quietude expects 'all living beings will eternally ascend, without having to encounter upheaval and hardship, and all will become transcendent and eternal.'

As for Youquan...

"Too foolish."

Su Zhou opened his eyes, and the black and white halo of Dao Rhythm flashed in his eyes.

The Devouring Dao Dragon lowered his head, gazing at the entire Youquan world cluster, he could not help but sigh: "How can there be such a person? Thinking that his own Great Dao is good, so he insists that everyone cultivate that Great Dao—in order to ensure that his Great Dao operates to the extreme, he does not even allow living beings to save themselves in advance, nor does he allow living beings to die normally!"

"In order for all living beings to experience his 'love' to the fullest, to experience his 'Great Dao', so that living beings can 'progress', he forces everyone to experience 'the cycle of life and death'..."

At this point, Su Zhou could not help but curse: "Idiot, I can't help but want to swear! He simply doesn't face the feelings of all living beings themselves. It's like playing a game. As long as the data is increasing, he doesn't care how the people in the game are living. In order for civilization to obtain a 'survival after a disaster' 'good fortune after a great disaster' Buff, so that a more optimized new civilization develops faster, he will really take the initiative to promote disasters to destroy the old era!"

"How can there be such an idiot, the universe is not a Dao Harmonization expert's game!"

Hongshi, who was on the side, touched his chin, feeling that he was being criticized by implication.

However, He was also deep in thought at this moment.

Having been defeated by Su Zhou, this powerful individual, although he said he had confirmed his mistake, but not having had a detailed discussion with Su Zhou, Hongshi was actually still a bit unclear about where he was wrong...but now, He vaguely understood.

His salvation did not give those who were being saved the right to refuse...just like Lü Cangyuan. He indeed had a great possibility of becoming evil in the future, but he also had a certain possibility of becoming a good person. He not only did not believe in his possibility of becoming a good person, but also did not guide him to become a good person. Instead, he forcefully saved him, so that he could only live a peaceful life, rotting and stinking in everyday life.

Lü Cangyuan wanted to refuse. He would rather be evil and then die, or try to become a good person.

All living beings are seekers of the Dao, and the Dao of all living beings is the meaning and answer of their existence.

Lü Cangyuan's life needed an answer, but He erased that answer, revoked his right to write the answer, because of the so-called 'love and salvation', because He was worried that Lü Cangyuan would write a wrong answer.

He denied the 'Dao seeking' of a 'Dao seeker'.

This is love, which is also sin. The evil of the strong, the sin in love.

[The reason why the Primordial Candle Dragon did not fight me to the death is simply because the Dao of Salvation would not kill people like Youquan]

Thinking of this, Hongshi could not help but smile wryly: [If I were Youquan, then that sentence of the Primordial Candle Dragon would not be an empty word—He would risk suicide to erase me from the world]

[He can do it, he is the kind of person who would do such a thing]

Su Zhou naturally could not feel the mental journey of Hongshi beside him, but he could sense that the emotions of Hongshi, who had always been tangled, melancholic, and difficult to let go, had eased a lot.

In contrast, the other party's favorability towards him has greatly increased!

"What's going on?"

Looking at Hongshi, whose complexion had improved a lot, and even showed a smile to him, Su Zhou murmured in his heart: "I just killed a Youquan...does fighting together really increase favorability so much?"

[Most Dao Harmonization experts are like this]

At this moment, Hongshi spoke, this was the first time He had actively communicated with Su Zhou after the battle.

The powerful individual looked around the surrounding void, nodded slightly, and motioned to those anti-Innovation Dao Harmonization experts who had been blocked, entangled, and prevented from approaching the void around the Candle Dragon Heaven by Su Zhou's many Great Dao avatars. He said: [Look, of the 124 Dao Harmonization experts who came, including Youquan, 72 denied you]

[And 36 of them are not interested in you. They just came to join the fun, wanting to see what the Candle Dragon Heaven is going to do]

[Only 16 think your Dao is good. They want to come and witness. They are also happy for your Dao's success]

[Most of them did not actively destroy and save the world like Youquan. Their Daos are not so extreme, but most of them will hinder the process of all living beings seeking the Dao, making it impossible for them to come to an answer]

"Then arrest them all."

Regarding the words of his newly hired warden, Su Zhou also gazed at the multiverse void, and said calmly: "Those who are right, discuss the Dao and verify. Those who are wrong, criticize and educate. Those who are seriously wrong, arrest and imprison. Those like Youquan, kill. It's very simple and clear."

[It's very simple and clear]

Hongshi said: [But first, you have to defeat them]

"Simple."

Su Zhou said: "Watch me take action."

Su Zhou took a step forward, and he took action.

So all the Daos bowed their heads.

In the multiverse void, many Dao Harmonization experts who wanted to destroy the Candle Dragon Heaven were fighting. They were unwilling to be arrested after the Candle Dragon's enlightenment. They would rather die than be criticized and educated, which would mean that the answers they had obtained in their past lives were flawed, even though they themselves were very satisfied.

But now, they could not escape. Since the return of the Candle Dragon, Great Dao avatars had emerged one after another in this multiverse void. Every Dao Harmonization expert faced one Candle Dragon and one Hongshi. They could not escape, they could not leave, they could only be trapped in place.

And after Youquan entered eternal slumber, these Dao Harmonization experts finally felt shock and disbelief—the Candle Dragon's power had actually reached such a level that he could cut off the Dao with a divine saber, stripping the immortal and imperishable Dao Harmonization expert from the heavens and realms, breaking all substantial immortality.

And now, the Candle Dragon was taking action against them.

Su Zhou waved his palm, and a magnificent tribulation wave rippled in the void. Endless Dao patterns crisscrossed, eventually transforming into a great seal in his palm that suppressed the universe and all things.

[The Seal of the End of the Universe]

As this seal fell, the Great Dao fell silent. Even Dao Harmonization experts realized that their divine power was constantly weakening and declining, just like the living beings of a world with spiritual energy encountering a world without spiritual energy. They were like fish that had lost water, birds that had lost the sky, wanting to struggle, but unable to move.

Ancient divine thunder exploded in all directions, and all the Dao Harmonization experts took action against Su Zhou under great terror. For a time, endless brilliance and phantoms, endless magical treasures and supernatural powers, all turned into thunderous rain and tumbling tsunamis, submerging the youth in a brilliant light.

But Su Zhou only half-opened his eyes, shaking his head with some impatience: "Noisy."

He waved his hand, and the great seal shook, and a Dao Weapon divine sword that was slashing at him collapsed, turning into a sky full of mist.

Supernatural powers struck, and he exhaled, and those precise and profound supernatural powers dissipated in the most ordinary breath, turning into a sky full of mist.

There was also thunder and frost, fierce wind and divine fire, Su Zhou only waved his hand, and everything dissipated into smoke.

Even if a mountain was sealed and fell, the youth only looked up, glanced at the divine mountain, and asked.

"Can you suppress me?"

[I...can I?]

A question brought up the doubt in the Dao Harmonization expert's heart. Just as the Dao Harmonization expert's heart began to waver, no longer believing that he could suppress the Innovation, the divine mountain collapsed. From the supernatural power to the Dao Harmonization expert himself, his Great Dao body collapsed.

Faced with the youth's question, Hongshi could answer [can] without hesitation, even if He knew that he might not be able to do it.

That is why the battle occurred, and why there was fierce fighting and killing.

The steadfastness of the Dao can break everything.

But if one loses persistence, then in the end, Dao Harmonization experts are just cultivators who have cultivated to the extreme, and are not really something that is indelible and eternally preserved.

Without achieving transcendence, one is not truly absolutely infinite and absolutely eternal.

The Candle Dragon simply waved his palm forward, and the Dao Harmonization experts in the sky collapsed like smoke.

This was the first time Su Zhou had fully activated the power of the Great Seal Fragment since obtaining it.

But this time, he was not for pure killing, but to allow all the Dao Harmonization experts to reflect on themselves.

"You have been standing in the sky for too long, you have lost the human touch, and you have forgotten your origins."

Su Zhou said: "It's time to go home and take a look."

He waved his hand, tapped the void, and immediately the sound of a bell rang, and billions upon billions of loud and clear chimes resounded throughout the myriad realms.

At this moment, in the multiverse void, the Dao bodies of all 124 Dao Harmonization experts were shattered. Their light turned into a nebulous stardust cloud lingering in the void, shining with an indescribable warm halo.

The Dao is formless. Dao Harmonization experts have form because they have a heart.

Without a heart, there is no form. Without form, there is no name. The nameless one is the original Dao. It is these nebulous auras that exist in the void in the form of light and mist.

Behind these Great Dao light mists, the wills of those Dao Harmonization experts, those 'hearts', had all been restored to their original form by Su Zhou with the power of the Seal of the End of the Universe, returning to their own Dao Harmonization main universe.

They became immortal, eternally existing mortals, experiencing tribulations in the mortal world.

They will not die. Su Zhou could not erase their immortal essence before cutting off their Dao, but losing absolute power, the perspective of overlooking the world, the Dao Harmonization experts would personally experience the world, the society, the universe order, and the natural laws that they themselves created.

They will experience for themselves whether their Dao is good or not, and whether it can be accepted by mortals.

"They will suffer, they will laugh, they will find some things unforgettable, and they will recall their own joys, sorrows, and the empathy with mortals. They may forget again, causing the universe to fall into darkness, and that is the purpose of the Candle Dragon Heaven. We want the Candlelight to illuminate those darknesses."

"Except for those innate spirits and universe wills, most Dao Harmonization experts were originally mortals."

Holding the great seal, Su Zhou sat cross-legged in the center of the void. A table appeared between him and Hongshi. The Candle Dragon and Hongshi were discussing the Dao, and also exchanging ideas for the future actions of the Candle Dragon Heaven, the corporate culture: "All Dao Harmonization experts are those with extraordinary will, perseverance, an unyielding heart, and great perseverance and determination."

"They know that something is right, and they will do it tirelessly, so they can become Dao Harmonization experts."

Hongshi said: [But all living beings are different. All living beings are weak, all living beings are timid, all living beings sway with the wind, all living beings drift with the tide, like fallen leaves in the wind, the place of drifting is not what they want]

"The multiverse is like a river and sea." The Candle Dragon said: "Drifting with the tide is all living beings, going against the current is immortals and gods, leaping out of the water is Dao Harmonization, but only becoming a river can be a torrent, and surpassing the entire sea is a transcender."

The Candle Dragon turned his head and looked at the countless nebulous light mists, the Dao beacons left behind by the Dao Harmonization experts who had been sent back to their old homes and become mortals, witnessing how their living beings were surviving in the world.

They were understanding and thinking about where their mistakes lay.

To kill without teaching is cruelty, to watch and see without warning is violence. Su Zhou's attack just now was not a killing or punishment, but a part of the teaching. The teaching of Dao Harmonization experts is different from that of mortals, and this is often the case.

Gazing at these beacons, the youth shook his head and said: "Dao Harmonization experts have been standing in the sky for too long, they have lost touch with the human world, and the living beings who were originally close to them have become outlines, ants, and numbers that cannot be seen clearly."

"But if you want to become a torrent, you can't just leap out of the water—Dao Harmonization experts must return to the rivers, and we ourselves must also become rivers, capable of carrying those fish that leap out of the water, sand that flows downstream, and persistent individuals who go against the current."

The Candle Dragon sighed: "I can remember because I am young. I was still a mortal ten years ago, so I will not forget. This is a miracle and also good fortune. As for those Dao Harmonization experts, the time of their enlightenment is so distant, hundreds of millions of years. It is normal for them to forget."

[But simply carrying is not enough] Hongshi closed his eyes and pondered. Then, He stood up and bowed deeply to the Candle Dragon: [Please, Daoist friend, tell me a way to have both]

"It's very simple."

The Candle Dragon said: "Hongshi, don't you already know very well?"

"Let those who want to live, live; let those who want to die, die."

"Those who want to achieve the Dao and cultivate, then by all means, let the 'tribulation' descend on those with great perseverance and determination. They have embarked on the path of cultivation in pursuit of 'infinity, eternity, and absoluteness'. If they want to transform themselves into the Great Dao, then they must experience the tribulations of the Great Dao, just like Youquan bestowed upon all living beings. We simply send tribulations to them, and they will instead be grateful to us."

"But conversely, if someone does not want to cultivate and only wants a small happiness, then protect it. The storms of the multiverse blow between the heavens and the earth. Even stars will be blown out by the violent gales, but we must protect the candlelight in the hearts of people, because only if there is a candle in the heart will the world feel bright. We must protect these lights, and they will love us."

[Can't do it] Hongshi sighed: [When the tribulations of cultivators descend, they will extinguish the candlelights of others. It is because I don't know how to do it that I can only choose to cut off the tribulations of cultivators, assessing their possibilities]

[I want to protect the candlelight, but there is no way to allow those with great perseverance and determination to move forward]

"You have regarded yourself as the master, wanting all the sheep to be healthy and live smoothly." The Candle Dragon said: "The Dao clothes nourish all things without being their master. Because it never seeks greatness for itself, it can achieve its greatness. We are Dao Harmonization experts, not the masters of all things, and all living beings are not a flock of sheep."

"Mortals yearn to become immortals and gods. As long as they yearn, we bless them, but don't think about making them happy, that's not our job."

"Because yearning itself is a kind of pain. If you want to have both, it's like wanting them to live and die at the same time—Youquan made this mistake. He regarded all living beings as cultivators, so he bestowed death, called tribulation, upon all things, and that is sin."

Hongshi was silent. He understood a little.

He looked at the surrounding light mists and suddenly realized: [You sent those Dao Harmonization experts back to their original worlds...You let the fish that leaped out of the water return to the river, this is the greatest tribulation!]

[But this is the prelude to the torrent—if you don't return to the river, the fish cannot become a river. This is actually what those Dao Harmonization experts crave but don't know how to do. Tribulation is exactly what all living beings hope for. As long as they are still yearning, they cannot obtain pure happiness, they cannot be completely saved]

Hongshi said: [You sent them back, imprisoned them, and they still have to thank you]

"Yes."

The Candle Dragon smiled slightly: "Not to mention Dao Harmonization experts, who among all living beings does not yearn? Those who want a peaceful happiness, that in itself is a kind of yearning, and they also need to encounter 'tribulations', such as work, struggle, and arguments with family members, occasional conflicts, and may even be嫌弃by their children, who嫌弃their parents for having no great ambitions."

"Do you want to save them from this tribulation?"

The corners of Hongshi's mouth could not help but want to curl up. He wanted to laugh, but he was also a little sad: [No, what's so good about saving them from this...this is all as it should be. You can only be happy by fulfilling your yearnings, and yearning itself is a tribulation]

[Salvation, is truly void]

He sighed with a smile: [I only understood now]

Hongshi's aura faded, becoming more and more empty, more and more tranquil, seeming to disappear into this multiverse.

The transformation of the Dao had begun. This was a tribulation that even eternal Dao Harmonization experts had to face, a tribulation wave originating from emptiness.

"You understood long ago, but you didn't want to understand. You knew that all this was void, but you were unwilling to admit it."

And the Candle Dragon gazed at this scene, he didn't mind, but instead smiled and said: "The five aggregates are all empty, overcoming all suffering and distress."

"Seeing through all emptiness and compassion is called Buddha in my hometown. The eternal happiness of those who do not yearn is also a Dao that can lead to infinite heights."

But just before Hongshi's Great Dao was about to dissipate, the Candle Dragon immediately raised his voice, delivering a head-on blow: "But what we want to walk is not emptiness, but compassion arising from the heart! Even Buddhas have yearnings, wanting to save all living beings."

"Hongshi, we are the ultimate yearning, the ultimate wish, the ultimate persistence, the ultimate belief, therefore we reach the absolute!"

"Yearning will cause pain, that is what they should suffer. Live if you want to live, die if you don't want to die, heavens, I would actually say such nonsense, but the truth of this world is such nonsense."

Because it is correct to the point that repeating it would feel superfluous, and saying it would make everyone feel impatient, because everyone in the world, even the gods and Buddhas in the heavens, would feel that 'they have appreciated it enough times', that is why it is correct.

Seeming to feel that he had said such nonsense as 'Monsters die when they are killed.', Su Zhou laughed loudly, but firmly said: "How is salvation void? You are a regret medicine!"

"Or rather, that sentence you yourself said—all living beings are different from us steadfast people. All living beings are weak, all living beings are timid, all living beings sway with the wind, all living beings drift with the tide, like fallen leaves in the wind, the place of drifting is not what they want."

"Of course they will regret, they will cry!"

"At that time, if you don't save them, do you want me to take action!"

[How could it be your turn!]

Immediately, Hongshi raised his head, and the void tranquility disappeared in an instant, what flashed was persistent steadfastness.

He looked at Su Zhou with bright eyes, and then bowed deeply to Su Zhou again: [Emptiness is correct, but we refuse the happiness of emptiness]

And Su Zhou and Hongshi looked at each other, he and Hongshi truly began to understand each other, and that is a parallel runner.

Innovation and salvation, are inherently like this, non-intersecting, dissimilar parallel runners.

The youth nodded slightly.

"So I bless, and will only bless—I am also one of all living beings, why should the strong be listed separately? A flying fish is still a fish."

"If there are monsters blocking the way, I will kill the monsters—obstructing the Dao of all living beings is obstructing my Dao, I will kill whoever gets in my way, I will kill however many come."

At this moment, Su Zhou stood up and came to the front of the Candle Dragon Heaven.

The creation vortex was still rotating and repeating continuously, it was absorbing the nebulous light mist transformed by the collapse of the 124 Dao Harmonization experts, the prototype of the universe was rapidly growing and achieving, transforming from the virtual to the real.

When the creation vortex truly achieves the Candle Dragon Heaven, the prison will also be built. Even if the Dao Harmonization experts who were absorbed by these auras return after experiencing tribulations, they will have to take a trip to this prison.

Some may just say hello to Su Zhou, thank Su Zhou for the kindness of his enlightenment, and then leave, while others will have to serve time in prison, and even be imprisoned for life.

[Not very easy to build, a bit difficult]

And Hongshi also came to Su Zhou's side. The black-haired man frowned and stared at the creation vortex: [The universe is infinite, and the Great Dao is also infinite. Unlike my Town Dao Tower, I only use brute force to suppress and absorb power, so I need to hold the Town Dao Tower all the time, but you want to build a prison, allowing the infinite Great Dao to imprison themselves]

[This is really difficult] He said: [Why don't you move in? With your power, it would be easy to suppress them]

In fact, what Hongshi was saying was to let Su Zhou himself become part of the prison, which would be equivalent to imprisoning the many Dao Harmonization experts in Su Zhou's abdomen, naturally unable to stir up any storms.

"I will definitely take a trip to the prison. I have also made mistakes, and I will judge and punish myself. This is innovation—but that's another matter, let's continue to discuss the Candle Dragon Heaven."

Su Zhou raised his head, he held up his index finger and pointed to the 'heaven', which is also the highest point in the void: "Hongshi, take a look at the structure of our multiverse, doesn't it meet your requirements very well? Learn from it."

Isn't the Great Seal like this kind of prison? Su Zhou let Hongshi learn a little bit, not needing much essence, just being able to understand a little was enough.

Hongshi frowned, He raised his head and carefully observed, and was immediately shocked.

He had not previously viewed the entire multiverse, the eyes of Dao Harmonization experts could only see a part, but sometimes, seeing a mountain is a mountain, seeing a mountain is not a mountain, and finally finding that the mountain is a mountain—in Hongshi's eyes, the multiverse was originally a multiverse, but later He found that it was actually a seal, and finally, He found that the essence of the seal was the multiverse.

[So that's how it is] Hongshi murmured: [This really gave me inspiration, so that's how it is...]

He laughed: [Using the Dao to imprison the Dao, the Candle Dragon Heaven can also be a seal]

"The first thing is the universe." Su Zhou nodded in encouragement: "Go for it, I'm not very good at this, so I invited you."

[This is also what I desire]

Hongshi began to observe the multiverse, comparing the details of the Candle Dragon Heaven.

Of course He couldn't see the full picture of the Great Seal, even a transcender would probably struggle, but even if it was just a few fragments, imprisoning Dao Harmonization experts would still be easy after understanding it.

The special nature of sealing the multiverse will create all kinds of strange and unusual powerhouses, and the special nature of sealing the multiverse can also seal these powerhouses. Su Zhou thought this was very reasonable.

And the most reasonable thing to do is to let people who are good at doing certain things, do certain things.

Hongshi became busy.

And at this moment, Su Zhou raised his head, he looked at the entire multiverse.
