Chapter 1 The Refusal of the Hero Eve

The refusal of the hero Eve did indeed surprise Su Zhou.

"Huh? Why?"

He frowned in confusion, only to realize that it didn't quite fit his persona as a revered god. Therefore, he steadied his mind and said solemnly, "Why?"

"The Fifth Movement will not have any impact on all living beings. It can even be said that it only has benefits and no disadvantages."

"And I truly have no ulterior motives. I sincerely want to give you a better future..."

As he said this, Su Zhou was indeed puzzled for a moment.

However, as he spoke, the youth saw the other party's firm expression and will.

Clearly, this was not a spur-of-the-moment idea, but an answer obtained after careful consideration.

In that case, Su Zhou stopped speaking and waited for the hero Eve, and the 'living beings' who supported her, to express their choice.

After all, Su Zhou completely believed in them. Since they didn't want it, then he didn't care. However, the youth was still curious as to why the living beings of the Movement would make such a choice.

"Your Divinity."

At this moment, the hero Eve took a deep breath. She suppressed the trembling in her voice caused by excitement, making it calm and sincere: "We already know that you are a true good god who surpasses all gods."

"You have already done so much for us, paving all the roads leading to the future."

"This road is wide, flat, bright, and gentle... You love us so much that you want to create an Eden for us, where all of us can become gods, or all of us can be resurrected... Even with such a beautiful future, you ask for our thoughts, not just 'giving', but giving us the right to 'choose'."

As she said this, the hero Eve took a step forward. She looked around the void of the entire multiverse, watching the endless star-worlds that floated in the dark storm of time and space.

She slowly said, "But, this is too much."

"Your Divinity, you have done too much. If we follow your ideas, what should we do in the future, what can we do, can only be based on your ideas..."

"Because you are too correct. If we accept, I'm afraid we can only accept the A, B, C you give, or the d that is developed on its basis..."

At this moment, Su Zhou already understood what the hero Eve wanted to say. He nodded slightly, but did not speak, allowing the other party to continue.

"I think, some things, some truths, can only be understood after failing and experiencing mistakes... We, all living beings, in addition to having the right to choose correctly, should also have the right to choose wrongly."

Some shame.

It could even be said that she spoke these words with some guilt.

The hero Eve still insisted, expressing her own thoughts, and the thoughts of all living beings: "We believe in you, so instead, we want to reject the love you give."

"The innovating god, the primordial Zhuzhou, Su Zhou!"

She raised her head, and everyone raised their heads, meeting the gaze of the gently watching Su Zhou: "Because we believe in you, we want to personally practice and experience the correctness you reveal!"

"Then, with our own hands, create a future that belongs to us, the living beings of the Movement Multiverse, a future that belongs to ourselves!"

——What kind of eyes were those?

Su Zhou couldn't describe them, because it was a radiance called infinity.

Yes, rejecting a gift of love is also a possibility.

Yes, this is complete freedom, complete possibility.

This is the complete right to choose.

At this moment, the youth finally understood... The true characteristic of true love and belief is that it can be rejected!

"Right." He muttered to himself: "I almost went down Hongshi's old path—I said it myself back then, love is like a confession. It's not like giving a gift means you have to be accepted... People don't want it!"

"What's more, in this situation, rather than saying that I was rejected, it's more like the living beings of the Movement Multiverse don't want to accept my initiative, but want to pursue me instead?"

Although it was completely different, the meaning was roughly the same.

——Believing that the process of fulfilling the correct path itself is also a meaning and pursuit.

Su Zhou smiled and shook his head. He gazed at the living beings in the infinite space and time of the Movement Multiverse.

Among infinite beings, there will definitely be some who oppose and doubt Su Zhou.

Among infinite beings, there will definitely be some who loathe and hate Su Zhou.

Once infinity unfolds, this is the inevitable result. Even in the current Movement Multiverse, it is definitely not one hundred percent of the living beings who agree with the choice of the hero Eve—there must be some who want to follow the path given by Su Zhou, because that is indeed an easier, happier, simpler, and more correct path.

Similarly, there must also be some who yearn for the power of the gods in the age of gods, and who think of themselves as gods, as 'spiritual gods' (referring to a group of beings who are not gods, but who usually defend and explain the gods in their words and deeds, and think that the existence of gods is very reasonable), and want to speak well of the gods.

Such beings must exist, and because of infinite existence, their number is also infinite.

But none of this matters, because at this moment, the one who is asking Su Zhou is the 'hero' Eve, who yearns for her own future!

She gazed at Su Zhou's expression, still speaking sincerely: "Your Divinity!"

"The gods did not give us the right to refuse, but Zhuzhou, our god, will you give us the right to choose 'what might be wrong'?"

——What intelligent life seeks is nothing more than these.

——When 'people' look back on the past, they may regret it, they may be satisfied, but in any case, everyone wants to be able to say at that time.

——It can be said, at least it can be said, 'all of this, I obtained in my own way'.

Whether it is right or wrong, love or a monster.

It's that simple.

To this, Su Zhou only had one answer.

"Of course."

He nodded solemnly, and also with a smile: "Of course."

"You certainly can."

The youth replied seriously: "You can not only choose the right path, but also choose the wrong one."

"You can choose love, and you can also choose hate."

"You can choose to dedicate, and you can also choose to sacrifice."

"Living beings, you can choose the great path, but you can also choose the path of monsters."

As he said this, Su Zhou let out a breath.

He raised his head, gazing at the void of the multiverse, gazing at the entire sealed multiverse.

Even if he was as powerful as he is now, having reached infinity, the youth didn't know whether what he was about to say next was right or wrong.

However, Su Zhou still spoke, saying from the bottom of his heart: "But, remember this."

"Monsters die when they are killed!"

"If I were to give all living beings a necessary reminder, then I can only say, and will only say this one sentence."

"Remember this, and then exercise your rights—choose the future you want, but don't forget that we have already forged a good road. Even if you don't want to follow the path, you must determine a direction for yourself that you won't regret going forward."

Su Zhou's answer relaxed Eve, who had been extremely nervous all along, and she visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

As the saying goes, 'one should not refuse what an elder bestows, to refuse is disrespectful'. You can't refuse what your elders give you, it's impolite to refuse.

But being impolite is one thing, and the future is not a gift. If you don't want it, you must refuse it. This is not something to joke about.

Su Zhou wasn't angry at all, and was even very happy, and seriously and earnestly gave pointers to the living beings. This was completely beyond Eve's expectations.

After all, according to the inherent impression of the living beings of the Movement Multiverse towards the gods, it wouldn't be strange even if Su Zhou just turned around and left!

"Is there anything else besides that?"

At this moment, Su Zhou also decided to believe that the living beings of the Movement Multiverse could find a path that conformed to their local reality and was in line with their local culture and customs.

But he wasn't blind either, so he could naturally see that Eve still had something else to say, so he shielded the sky, turning his conversation with Eve into a private channel, rather than the previous broadcast to the entire world.

"Well, this, ehe... Your Divinity, we actually have another small wish..."

Eve scratched her head, smiling a little embarrassedly: "It's about our counterparts from the four eras and Alan... We just reached a consensus."

"That is, to strip the eternal element from our bodies, so that we can become different, independent individuals!"

Su Zhou nodded understandingly: "I see. Not surprising."

He smiled: "As long as you are willing, I will of course help—but have you thought it through? This is an element that leads directly to eternity, one of the cores of the 'Destiny Chart' of the Movement Multiverse... With it, it may not be difficult to become a torrent like me in the future."

"For the sake of independence and autonomy, giving up such a great opportunity is rare. In other worlds, everyone would think of themselves as the ultimate victor, and would compete with other counterparts."

To this, Eve just waved her hand carelessly: "Hey, we struggled a lot too. It would be a lie to say that we don't want such a powerful force, but first of all, let's not talk about whether the us fused under the auspices of the eternal element are still us."

The young golden-haired hero, smiled and saluted Su Zhou: "Isn't there also the path of innovation and torrent that you have guided us to?"

"Now that we have a path that is more in line with our hearts, why should we take that path that is not satisfactory enough?"

Su Zhou could completely see that Eve was just flattering him, but Su Zhou didn't point it out. He nodded very happily, satisfied: "Well said."

"However." He still reminded: "For the last time, I still have to ask—is this the wish of you, all the Eves and Alans?"

"Yes."

Not only the hero Eve, the princess Eve, the maiden Eve, and the girl Eve; the rebel Alan, the general Alan, the young Alan, and the merchant Alan all spoke together, responding to Su Zhou's question: "This is our wish!"

So, Su Zhou nodded: "Your wish, is fulfilled."

All the Eves and Alans were slightly stunned, but soon, they realized that in that instant just now, an instant that no one could know, without any fanfare, without any signs or omens.

In their bodies, those eternal element essences that the gods of the entire Movement Multiverse had spent many eras to extract from the destined tragedies of Eve and Alan time and time again.

Had already been completely stripped away, independent of their existence itself.

Su Zhou's power had reached such a point, far surpassing any Dao Harmonization and the universe itself, requiring only a thought, everything in the world and even everything in the void would change because of it.

Not empty.

Not regretful.

There was no nostalgia, and of course there was no sense of relief.

The Eves and Alans, gazed at the two groups of light, one gold and one silver, shining in the center of them all.

Eternity and change, elements that complemented each other, intertwined together.

Alan and Eve embraced, they all gazed at that 'essence' that, in a sense, created their destiny and existence.

Eternity and change are destined to embrace, lovers, partners, father and daughter, teachers and students, it is always so, always so.

But from then on, the souls of Eve and Alan would no longer have such a causal relationship.

Their love, acquaintance, mutual recognition, and mutual support, would no longer be a destiny in the dark.

But another kind, another kind of choice, another kind of recognition.

[A New Fate]

[Able to agree, also able to refuse, able to follow, also able to imitate]

[Able to be good, also able to be evil, able to like, also able to hate]

[Resist fate with one's own will, and acknowledge that whether this resistance succeeds or not, whether one hopes for it or not, this is also part of fate]

[Such an existence, is the dominator of fate]

The story of the Movement Multiverse, at this point, can perhaps be said to have come to a temporary end.

But if it is said to be over, it is still not over.

Like Eve and Alan, there were countless others who wanted to cut off from their origins, who wanted to give up their innate talents, and take another path.

The 'son of evil' who wants to walk the path of goodness, the 'king of the underground' who yearns for the sky, people who prefer the green of grass and trees to 'decay', there are truly countless.

If it is said that the Great Dao imprint that one is born with, is a destiny destined to become a strong person of this element, there are also people who want to reject this kind of future, and move towards the direction they want to take.

And Su Zhou listened to these people's prayers one by one, and Su Zhou also stripped away the elements they hoped to strip away one by one.

Yes, the living beings of the Movement Multiverse, gave up the future represented by 'chords' and 'root notes'.

However, it is not to say that they completely denied the possibility of these two futures.

And Su Zhou naturally had no interest in these many musical notes, these many Great Dao elements—he could create countless such Great Dao imprints with a single thought, but what would be the point? These things belonged to the Movement Multiverse, so they should belong to the Movement Multiverse.

However, if these notes are allowed to return, a large number of people who are born with these Great Dao elements will be created again.

Therefore, Su Zhou still planned to create a brand new small universe to accommodate these notes themselves—not to have the notes derive life, but to have these notes exist as life themselves.

A universe belonging to notes.

That was not created for the current living beings of the Movement Multiverse, but for the future of these notes.

In the void chaos, Su Zhou raised his hand, he was about to carry out a creation, not for any of his own purposes, but a pure act of execution, a manifestation of love for others.

Therefore, he said: "Let all of this exist."

"I will light a fire, a light, it will burn in the void, everything that is reflected will be existence and matter, the sound of the flame burning will be melody and destiny."

"A new world, a universe, will be born because of this."

Thus, a universe was born in the initial light of fire.

The firelight reflected the existence of everything, and played a new movement because of the sound of burning. Infinite destinies began to extend towards the future.

Su Zhou saw that this was good, and nodded slightly.

Then, he turned his head and looked behind him, at the endless radiance that had already manifested behind him.

Those were countless intersecting rotating grids, and infinite rays cast into the distance.

"If you have time, you two."

He said with a smile, pointing to this universe and inviting the other party to take a look: "Why don't you take a look."
