Chapter 921 Zhuzhou, We Want to See You!

—We are correct—

This is a roar.

Also, the beginning and end of a song.

If one were to observe the Grand Universe of Melody from the void of the multiverse, perhaps they could see it.

On the battlefield where gods and humans clashed, a vast sea of notes gathered, constructing an unprecedented melody, one never seen, nor ever attempted to be played!

And the power of this melody, though weak at first, grew with each layer added, like a river swelling with tributaries, supporting the correctness of this river, this Yangtze. The river's power rapidly expanded, erupting.

Finally, it transformed into an unstoppable 'torrent'.

The surging torrent of melody leaped from the earth, striking towards the few incomparably bright, yet lonely, shining notes in the sky.

[How is this possible?!]

Facing the increasingly large and powerful human Primordial Body hand grappling with it, the Guangyin God-King roared in disbelief, unable to escape: [I, we, are actually going to fail!?]

[Where is this power coming from?!]

The power of He Dao is infinite, an incredible force beyond all reason. They can create civilizations, create worlds, distort reality. No matter how numerous mortals are, they can never overcome them.

But, what if they are not mortals?

After all, the so-called mortals of the Grand Universe of Melody are, in other universes, innate Dao-bodied notes.

With a little activation, they can unleash infinite power.

At this moment, the silent human Primordial Body strode forward in the blazing flames, snapping the Guangyin God-King's arms, crushing the god's hand bones and shoulders.

[Why, why is this happening?!]

The Guangming God-King also cried out miserably, a holy sword piercing His chest and abdomen, wielded by Eve. The sword of light pinned Him to the god throne, rendering His hands powerless, His shield falling to the ground: [Even the Primordial Zhuzhou did not act… we, we are defeated…]

On the other side, the Anying God-King fell on the spot, suppressed by the Xingkong God-King with a warship of unknown origin, then thrown into a black hole engine. Absolute shadow was devoured by absolute termination, vanishing without even a cry.

"Why must Zhuzhou act!"

A scolding voice rang out: "We believe in the Primordial Zhuzhou, and Zhuzhou believes in us—He believes we can take back our future and victory with our own hands, and we believe in His teachings, believe that He doesn't need to do anything to witness your defeat!"

In the end, the soon-to-be-fallen God-Kings raised their heads, looking towards the very top of the golden road.

There, seated upon a blazing white throne of flames, the indistinct Primordial Zhuzhou slowly rose, surrounded by burning blue-purple flames, illuminating the entire Grand Universe of Melody like a sun.

He wore a white robe, a crown upon His head, flames seeming to burn in His eyes, horns and chimes sounding at the apex of the sky, as if playing all the notes in the world, whispering the names of all beings.

[Is this your purpose?]

The ancient God-Kings struggled to ask towards the end of the road, the Guangyin God-King dying with unclosed eyes: [Coming to our world, using the hands of all beings to kill us, then becoming the new ruler?!]

They could see that the note representing Zhuzhou had become loud enough to drown out all other sounds. Even though Su Zhou was silent at this moment, even a normal heartbeat was enough to shake the entire Grand Universe of Melody, causing ripples in the surrounding multiverse void.

Eternity… Torrent…

The realm and power that all God-Kings, all gods, dreamed of was about to be achieved by this outsider from another universe.

And to the God-King's question, Su Zhou didn't even need to answer.

Because everyone knew that he was not ruling anything.

Moreover… he hadn't even acted, and the gods had already failed.

—How long are you going to quibble?

Under that indifferent gaze, that silent question, the God-Kings, who were originally angry, unwilling, wanting to question 'why', 'why can Zhuzhou, an outsider from another universe, arbitrarily interfere in the internal affairs of their universe', lowered their heads in despair.

—Yes… indeed.

—There was no need for the Primordial Zhuzhou to act… They had already lost.

Their eyes lost their luster, their divine thoughts gradually returning to silence.

At this moment.

With the defeat of the God-Kings, the entire Grand Universe of Melody experienced for the first time a situation where there were no 'Melody Holders'.

In contrast, beneath the heavens, new melodies and notes were surging.

—Infinite power is gathering.

—Endless light engulfs the heavens and earth.

—A vast melody plays in the universe.

Chimes rang out, and all things, all who had ears, heard it.

Everything was over.

"We have won!"

After a brief silence, a joyous and loud cheer, enough to scatter all the clouds in the sky, echoed across Ilotall and the Atlantis continent: "The gods are defeated, we have won!"

"Finally, we don't have to be suppressed in technology and live with pre-industrial era technology!"

"Finally, no one is tampering with the timeline, weaving a fate where rebels do not exist!"

"Finally, there are no divine punishments to erase those who are amazingly talented, so we can grasp our own destiny!"

"Long live freedom!"

That was the cheer of those who were angry and drew their swords to rebel against the misdeeds of the gods, existing in countless eras, countless ages, countless parallel worlds. They laughed through their tears, celebrating the arrival of a new era.

Gazing at all of this, Su Zhou nodded with a smile.

"This is enough." He said: "In this way, Eve and Alan, the endless beings of the Grand Universe of Melody, won't have to leave this universe and can live here in peace."

There was no need for Zhuzhou to appear.

Zhuzhou only needed to guide a possibility.

Zhuzhou did not need to become the final, most important protagonist.

Beneath the heavens, Zhou Buyi, Elias, Ming Zhengde, and Aura were all smiling, watching the cheering crowd, celebrating the arrival of victory.

"Not bad, I guess."

Having been a Shenmu (Divine Tree) mentor for an era, Zhou Buyi, who retained his memories due to Su Zhou's power, was quite satisfied with this outcome: "To be honest, the power to manipulate time is truly terrifying… I have gained an era's worth of experience and knowledge for no reason. When I return to my hometown, I can probably smoothly break through to the Tianzun (Celestial Venerable) realm."

Zhou Buyi's strength was originally at the Tianxian (Celestial Immortal) realm, but the Shenmu world had no further path forward. If he wanted to become stronger, he could only break through little by little on his own.

But now, Zhou Buyi had plenty of time and experience to break through—when that time came, the humans of the Shenmu universe would usher in another wave of technological explosion!

[Must be used for next time]

Elias was naturally the same. This god, who still looked like a young man, nodded slightly. As a god, after witnessing the perverse actions of the gods of the Grand Universe of Melody, he naturally had many insights in his heart.

Like Zhou Buyi, he had naturally gained many experiences and lessons, but more importantly, in his heart, he had his own ideas and perspectives on the point of 'a better god'… The humans of the Reincarnation World were also colonizing many worlds, and new gods and new powerhouses were being born. They often had conflicts with ordinary people, requiring him and the Wind God to mediate.

Originally, Elias did not know how to construct a universe with a distinction between gods and humans… but now, he seemed to have gained some understanding.

[Even in the face of such evil immortals and gods, the mortals of this world still have the courage to resist]

As for Ming Zhengde, he placed more importance on another point: [Whether it is immortals and gods, or the gods of this universe, as long as there is oppression, the masses dare to resist… The most important thing is the courage to resist. No matter how many times time repeats, as long as they still have courage in their hearts, it is not a failure]

[Those who intend to solidify the world and define destiny as slaves will lose everything if they lose even once. But those rebels, those who intend to control their own destiny, can fail countless times, but as long as they win once, then it is a complete victory!]

The brilliance of the masses was something that this human emperor had long believed in, and now, the brilliance once again responded to this human emperor's trust, proving that the path to pursuing perfection was still feasible, even in a universe of destiny.

Finally, Aura…

Aura was busy!

As the last Zhuzhou spirit in Su Zhou's perspective timeline, she was an important contributor to guiding the human Primordial Body in the battle with the God-Kings, and she was also a top figure in the Human Alliance of this era. She was now working overtime to prepare for logistics and follow-up processing.

Victory?

Victory was just the beginning!

Without the shackles of the gods, without the suppression of the gods, this world would not immediately become better, just like after killing the Demon King, a desolate world would not immediately recover and bloom again. It would still take a long time to cultivate and struggle to achieve results.

But, the fact that people can work hard and change their destiny without worrying about divine punishment and threats is itself a kind of joy.

Therefore, although Aura was working hard, it was also joyful hard work.

And Zhuzhou was also joyful for this joy.

"Very good."

Seeing that his friends had all gained something, Su Zhou nodded with a smile, then turned around: "Everyone is happy, this is how it should be."

He prepared to go outside the Grand Universe of Melody: "Almost, it's time to do my job…"

"It's time to call Hongshi over, Zhuzhou Heaven should open!"

Although the purpose was just to come to this Grand Universe of Melody to find the Key of Destiny and find the path to the Hun Tian Realm (Chaotic Celestial Realm), Su Zhou was, after all, a Multiverse Police Officer. Was it okay to catch some criminals while looking for things?

Defeating the God-Kings and the gods was just the beginning. The masses of the Grand Universe of Melody could defeat the gods with the guidance of the Primordial Body, Su Zhou, and other Zhuzhou from other universes, but they could not completely annihilate them. If these God-Kings were resurrected carelessly, it would be another trouble.

Helping people should be done to the end, and sending Buddha should be done to the West. Su Zhou also had great compassion, and he would naturally throw all these messy gods and God-Kings into prison for a good reformation.

Of course, in addition to this, as the source of creating all these changes, Su Zhou would also take care of the affairs of the gods of the Grand Universe of Melody.

He stretched out his hand, and immediately, it could be seen that five rounds of pitch-black Evil Daos floated up from the corpses of the five defeated God-Kings in different timelines.

The five rounds of pitch-black Evil Daos transformed into shooting stars, converging towards Su Zhou's palm.

Those were peculiar Great Dao cores, like musical notes, that still played melodies even after being transformed into evil souls. Su Zhou glanced at them roughly and found that they were really bad. Not only was there no benefit from eating them, but they would even make people sick.

After all, the God-Kings of this universe only had a vague guess as to why they became God-Kings. They knew shit about He Dao.

However, precisely because they were so bad, it allowed Su Zhou to understand—correctness and error were just the two extremes. There were many existences in the multiverse that could not be considered right or wrong, and were disgusting.

In contrast, there would also be existences that could not be considered right or wrong, but were pleasing.

"If one wants to become a torrent, it is very difficult to be purely correct, because wanting to understand correctness itself is a threshold."

The young man closed his eyes and muttered to himself: "But, 'relatively good' and 'I want to become like this', this kind of hazy yearning is more likely to attract people to follow than a simple, cold, correct answer."

"Infinite torrent… in addition to believing in all beings, there are other key elements."

After being silent for a while, sensing a disturbance from the palm of his hand, he opened his eyes again.

"This is terrible."

Shaking his head, gazing at the five Evil Daos in his palm, Su Zhou sighed: "Even if such dark evil souls are thrown into Zhuzhou Heaven for judgment, they will be burned in the flames for eternity, right?"

[Spare us…][We won't do it again…][Please, give us a chance…][We will definitely change, we will definitely…]

Faintly, one could still hear remorseful pleas coming from the evil Daos. Those were the voices of the many God-Kings.

Their will was still with the entire Grand Universe of Melody and had not yet been completely eroded.

Su Zhou did not care about this: "Giving you a chance is what Miracle does. What I, Renovation, will do is arrest all of you and send you to see Miracle!"

As for how to send them? Hah, if a great existence really wanted to send them anywhere, they could see them if they wanted to. Putting them in prison was definitely right.

Subduing all five Evil Daos, Su Zhou looked at the entire Grand Universe of Melody.

The Path of Sealing, made from the remains of the Sky Dome God-King, mixed with Eternal elements, could suppress the many spacetime supernatural powers in the Grand Universe of Melody, and could also sort out the chaotic timeline and parallel spacetime in the He Dao battle.

During the process of fighting and fleeing with Su Zhou, Deus had really destroyed a lot of causal continuity, causing many parallel spacetimes, and even many events in the main world, to lack causal relationships and be unable to couple with each other. This caused some people to disappear before they were even born… Su Zhou had some responsibility for this, so Su Zhou used the other party's corpse as glue to repair the spacetime routes that had begun to crack.

But even so, the current Grand Universe of Melody had been completely divided into four parts.

Overture, Narration,激奏 (Intense Performance), and the final Finale. The originally subtly connected universe spacetime had now been completely split into four mutually parallel twin universes due to the death of the four era's God-Kings and the divine blade that Su Zhou had cut out earlier.

This could also be considered a good thing—mutually severing causality allowed them to be independent and gain the freedom of their respective spacetimes.

Moreover, in detail, the four eras of Eve and Alan definitely did not want to merge and unify!

In the first life, the two were pure love couples, in the second life they were awkward saviors and the saved, the third life was simply father and daughter, and the fourth life was theoretically husband and wife, but in reality Eve had been widowed for most of her life, and finally relied on divine power to fish Alan out of the black hole.

It was hard to say about Eve herself, but at least the Alan of the third life felt so awkward in his heart when he looked at himself in other generations, he felt like he was a child-molesting pervert and couldn't even look at it!

"But it's still a little troublesome."

Su Zhou couldn't help but show a troubled expression.

Eve, in the final analysis, was the 'Eternal Note' of the Genesis Grand Melody… Even if the Eternal element was stripped away by the gods and transformed into the Eternal element that could control spacetime and decide fate, she herself was the source of this concept.

If Su Zhou didn't care, the inherent nature of Eternal, which was self-existent and eternal, would gradually merge the 'four eras' again and merge them into the original 'Grand Universe of Melody'.

Because 'Eternal' was essentially one, it could exist in every corner of the past, future, and present. Regardless of whether Eve awakened this divine power, the power of Eternal would guide them to become one.

This would not change or transfer according to Eve's own wishes.

In fact, the other 'notes' were the same. This was the limitation of the Grand Universe of Melody itself.

"How should this problem be solved?"

Su Zhou frowned. Reforming a new world was not a problem for his power at all. Su Zhou's current strength was comparable to, and even surpassed, the Creation Dao Lord who 'created the original world', and even the Perpetual Motion Star God and the Only God.

Reforming and creating a new world was absolutely no problem in terms of technology.

The main problem was 'how to make everyone satisfied'.

Obviously, the four Eves absolutely did not want to merge. Although they were previous and future lives, they had their own feelings and different dreams. They were still alive at the same time, and the marks of their true spirits would not dissipate for who knew how long. There was absolutely no possibility of them agreeing to merge.

If he wanted to solve this problem, he needed to strip away the Eternal element—but was stripping it away really a good thing?

This was the element authority that directly led to the torrent, the essence of the 'Grand Universe of Melody', the core of the supernatural power of the highest legacy of fate, the 'Tapestry of Destiny'!

"There must be other options. A strong person should not do multiple-choice questions. I want to see if there is a win-win approach."

Thinking this way, Su Zhou simply sat back on the white throne at the top of the Path of Sealing and pondered carefully.

For a time, on both sides of his throne, a surging river of light and a tranquil stream of cessation emerged. The many starlights of the multiverse manifested above his head, transforming into a starry sky dome.

With no other God-Kings and no other gods, Su Zhou was now the top existence in the Grand Universe of Melody. The place where he was was the core of the Grand Universe of Melody, that is, the 'Inner Side of the World'.

However.

Just as Su Zhou intended to calm down and think about how to create a perfect ending for the beings of the Grand Universe of Melody.

Suddenly, he heard voices calling.

—Zhuzhou, Zhuzhou!

—Zhuzhou, Primordial Zhuzhou!

There were calls like this, cheers like this, prayers like this, praises like this.

Wishes, prayers, desires, expectations.

Just as the surprised Su Zhou turned his head and looked at the world, nearly endless powers of vows transformed into a sacred melody, echoing between the heavens and the earth.

"Zhuzhou!"

Many people called out this name: "We already know that you are the one who brought us hope and the beginning of change!"

"It is you who protected our most vulnerable era and led us to a better possibility!"

They had already learned from the mouths of Eve and Alan in the four eras, and from the scattered legends of Zhuzhou that were spread in each era, that it was the arrival of Primordial Zhuzhou that triggered the arrival of the Zhuzhou heroic spirits and induced the most initial changes, causing the gods to fall in endless battles.

Zhuzhou was nameless and formless, never appearing in front of all beings from beginning to end, but they wanted to know his name and appearance.

—This was a wish.
