Chapter 1 The Great Silver Vortex

Bai Yingxue had been working longer hours than usual recently, mainly because of the giant silver vortex in the sky.

Everyone was familiar with the creation of worlds. In the traditions of various countries, there were legends of gods creating the world, and those legends were not false. The realms created by the major forces could still be seen even now.

Bai Yingxue herself had heard that a Heavenly Immortal could create a dream realm that was indistinguishable from reality. In essence, that was also a dream realm. The Zhuzhou Dream created by Su Zhou was simply expanding this dream countless times and possessing many functions. There was no difference in essence.

However, this Phoenix inheritor was also very clear that most of the worlds created by the many immortals and gods in history were just ordinary small worlds, *dongtian*.

Although they existed forever and were vast and broad, they were not anything extraordinary. It was just building houses in the void.

But the silver vortex in the sky was different...

It was a true, nascent universe.

The prototype of the Zhuzhou Heaven.

Based on the three Seal Shards, condensing the Great Daos of many Dao Harmonization experts, and then using Su Zhou's own power to draw endless world fragments from the void of the multiverse as nourishment, the silver vortex was like a seed, now probing out many roots, rooted in the turbulent flow of time and space, constantly condensing its own essential power.

"Truly incredible."

Bai Yingxue was currently located in a *dongtian*-semi-plane research station in the outer universe void. This void research station, representing Earth's civilization, was the vanguard for researching the multiverse. It had already laid its foundation two years ago, and just as the Zhuzhou Heaven began to take root, Earth increased its investment and completely built this artificial *dongtian*.

Bai Yingxue and Tang Yuan both worked here, responsible for collecting information around the vortex. In a sense, this could be considered creation information.

Regardless of whether it was useful now or not, it was best to collect it first.

Looking out from the void research station, there was only a chaotic and endless turbulence. Only by using special spacetime spells could one filter out the layers of ripple-like fluctuations and see the truth in the void—perhaps movement was much more convenient, but compared to the past Icing Void, the current turbulent void was truly like a vast ocean, making it difficult for navigators to even glimpse the scenery at the other end of time and space.

But the prototype of the Zhuzhou Heaven was extremely conspicuous. Its existence itself was stabilizing the surrounding turbulence, absorbing those invisible energies, and restoring the void to tranquility.

Bai Yingxue was not surprised by Su Zhou's strength. After all, in her past life, Su Zhou's speed of power advancement was so fast that she couldn't understand it, and now, although the gap was large, it was still incomprehensible at its core.

"He is busier than he used to be."

The young girl sat at her desk, staring into the void. She supported her face with one hand, while the other twirled her black hair as it fell. "Why be so busy?"

Within the sealed universe, Earth had no enemies; in the multiverse, the Seal Shards had been collected.

When the Zhuzhou Heaven was forged, the great rift that ran through the entire sealed multiverse would be healed, and the chain collapse of the multiverse that threatened all living beings would also dissipate into nothingness.

It was time to enjoy life. Even she was planning to see if she could get some office romance in her free time, but Su Zhou was still busy all day long and didn't even have time to return to the office.

"Congratulations on getting first place, as expected of Xia Xia!"

At this moment, a man's voice could be heard from the office next door, initially filled with joy, but soon panicked: "I'm sorry, I've been really busy lately... I didn't mean not to watch, I definitely pay attention to you, but I've really been on business trips all the time, it's very troublesome to come back, I've really been paying attention to your situation..."

"What, why should I keep paying attention to you? This..."

"Sigh." Hearing this, Bai Yingxue couldn't help but shake her head. Tang Yuan was simply being played in the palm of her hand.

The little girl from back then had grown up, and she was truly not to be underestimated.

But she couldn't let her do as she pleased, work had to continue.

Thinking this, Bai Yingxue got up and knocked on Tang Yuan's office door.

Immediately, she could hear a sigh of relief: "This... I'm sorry, I'm busy with work right now, I have something to do, I'll talk to you when I return to Earth next time!"

"I'm sorry, I'm really a little busy!"

Tang Yuan hung up the phone, got up, and opened the door, looking at Bai Yingxue with a grateful expression: "Thank you, thank you, you really saved me!"

"The vortex in the sky is already boring enough, I don't want to watch an eight o'clock drama of youthful love, you're just a straight-iron-man who doesn't know how to chat." Bai Yingxue sighed: "It's also time to change people to stay here, the forging of the Zhuzhou Heaven is definitely a long-term project, it wouldn't be good to keep us here all the time. You want to see your little girlfriend, and I want to go shopping with my best friends."

She recalled it and couldn't help but laugh: "Forget it, even if I really went with Jin Qiong and the others, it would just be watching an eight o'clock drama of youthful love."

Bai Yingxue changed the subject: "Secretary Tang, you have to think of a plan, the committee has to think about who to replace us with next time."

"It's sister!" Tang Yuan wanted to retort, but gave up in the face of Bai Yingxue's sneering expression that said, 'You're going to lie to me?' "Okay, that's true, I didn't expect to be on a business trip for so long... However, I'm also a little unprepared, I came here to calm down."

"You should have been prepared from the beginning, don't run away." Bai Yingxue shook her head. She came to Tang Yuan's desk and picked up a document: "Look, Minister Su himself said that this is a very long process, this is a long-term stationing."

"Isn't it just Jin Qiong, Jiu Ming, and them." Not talking about related topics, Tang Yuan seemed much clearer, he laughed: "There are only a few Earth Immortals who can make everyone feel at ease and station in the outer void."

"There are also the Martial God, the former Dao Saint, there are too many people." Bai Yingxue said: "However, the retired seniors are old but still young at heart, they are still presiding over the reform."

"To be honest, I also want to create a new school myself... My ability should be learned by more people, this time it's a good thing for me."

Tang Yuan turned his head to look at the window, he looked at the world barrier of the sealed universe, where the remaining light of cyan flames was slowly spreading: "It seems that Su Zhou also thinks so... It's just that the methods may be a bit rough."

And Bai Yingxue also came to the window, she stared at the world, from the Zhuzhou Heaven suspended above the universe, a long river of cyan-purple flames fell straight down, like the roots of a tree, falling on the sealed universe.

For a moment, they were speechless, the two looked up, looking at the vortex.

With the appearance of the prototype of the Zhuzhou Heaven, the entire sealed universe had undergone quite a big change. All cultivators, when using Spiritual Vision again, could see a touch of cyan-purple flame, which was Su Zhou's radiance reflected in the heavens and earth. If the entire sealed universe was a planet, then the Zhuzhou Heaven and Su Zhou were the sun shining on all things.

The sun rotates, hanging high in the sky, and all things draw strength from it, it is the beings under the heavens.

This was not an exaggeration... In fact, according to the data that Earth received from Su Zhou, if Su Zhou had not crossed infinite time and space to go to the World of Creation, then there was a great possibility that the ending of the World of Creation would be the mutual destruction of the One God and the Perpetual Star God, the Dream Universe of the Myriad Manifestations Burial Ground would become reality and envelop the two, and countless Twilight Demons and Machine Gods returning to实体 would turn into a wave sweeping through the heavens, invading endless worlds.

Naturally, the sealed universe was also one of them.

At that time, not only would all living beings be plunged into misery, but in the face of the many crazy Machine Gods, the Dream Demons whose only purpose was destruction and spreading nothingness, even a corner of the multiverse would be filled with war. Bai Yingxue didn't have time to experience this despair in her past life, but just imagining it, if Su Zhou hadn't gone to that universe to change the root of all suffering, then the current multiverse would simply have sunk into a deep abyss.

No enemies... of course.

Because all enemies had been nipped in the bud.

The so-called skilled warrior has no illustrious achievements, lies in this. Su Zhou's salvation was even earlier than the emergence of disaster. Everyone didn't even have time to know the terrifying possibility, and they got the happiness they wanted.

"Sigh."

With her arms crossed in front of her chest, letting her long hair scatter, Bai Yingxue sighed again: "Sometimes I also think, is it a bit too much to be protected so well? If people don't suffer a little, they won't cherish peace at all, but will degenerate in it instead."

This was the worry of the Phoenix who grew up in war. Everything she had came from continuous wars, and even if she longed for peace, she would not take long-term happiness for granted.

"Look at what you're saying, that's too arrogant." Tang Yuan said: "You are a strong person, so you have this kind of thought. Ordinary people are inexplicably killed by the aftermath of the strong, they don't care about cherishing peace or not, they just live their lives."

"What's more, isn't there a Dream World? Dream is possibility, and it is also the delusion that is difficult to realize in reality. The possibility you are talking about also has a copy in the Zhuzhou Dream, there will always be someone who knows."

"People who will degenerate will degenerate sooner or later; people who will rise up will always rise up. In our increasingly long-lived civilization, waiting is a normal state."

--Because time will evolve on its own, moving forward mercilessly, those who try to stop the chariot will realize that in the face of the correct general trend, their resistance is just waiting for death to come.

Saying this frankly, Tang Yuan noticed that Bai Yingxue was looking at him sideways, he also turned his head, noticing the strange expression on the girl's face.

"You guy, you're quite smart when you need to be, after all, you're the Spirit King."

Nodding slightly, Bai Yingxue laughed: "But wouldn't that be very fatalistic?"

"What's wrong with fate and waiting, that's just a narrative, it's a part of all things." Shrugging, Tang Yuan continued to raise his head, looking at the silver vortex.

In the void, many tall figures were constantly shaking beside the silver vortex. Those Dao Harmonization experts who had been subdued by Su Zhou, along with their own universes, were trembling in front of this revolving halo.

The endless Spiritual Qi, condensed into the roots of the universe seed, one could completely imagine what kind of big tree this enormous universe would eventually become.

Its branches would run through the realms, stretching endlessly, its leaves would fall in the void, scattered into endless turbulence, its foundation would be rooted in the great seal, sinking into the core of this multiverse, above the sealed universe.

There were not no resisters.

Wherever the root system of the Zhuzhou Heaven spread, it would implant its own path of reform into the local world, and there would naturally be agreement and resistance.

Those who agreed would not be mentioned for the time being, after all, they would not appear, and those who opposed would naturally be unwilling for their own universe to have such a path of unknown good or bad. These gods, immortals, demons, and even Dao Harmonization experts came along the root system towards the silver vortex, wanting to explore this change.

Why oppose reform?

There were too many reasons. Even if Su Zhou listened to the realms, he could hear many reasonable reasons. Even on Earth, there was a member like Bai Yingxue, who felt that reform should not wait in peace, but should be pursued in war.

However, Bai Yingxue was not so extreme, she was just worried, and didn't want to change things by force, while the opponents in other worlds were the kind who would take action to change things.

They came to the vicinity of the sealed universe, intending to fight Su Zhou, and those Dao Harmonization experts who had been subdued by Su Zhou before blocked them.

Most of them were blocked, and a small number of powerful Dao Harmonization experts, even the Tai Shi Sacred Venerable could not completely block, they broke through to Su Zhou, intending to stop the young man's process of forging the heavens.

They all failed.

With Su Zhou's strength, not talking about any Great Dao, just pure power alone was a top-tier expert in this multiverse. Even the Great Existence wanted to cultivate an Overcomer, and initially thought that he was the closest individual to success, and felt that under the cultivation of Yala [Chaos], it would probably be extremely difficult for him to win.

In other words, even if the dependents personally cultivated by the Great Existence wanted to defeat the current Su Zhou, the hope was slim.

"The world wants to accept, the world's will is also the will of all beings, your personal thoughts may be equal to a few more votes, but they are not the same as all."

Occasionally, Su Zhou's voice could be heard resounding through the void: "Seriously, can you not be such giant infants? Your unhappiness is equal to the dissatisfaction of all beings? Do I have to go to your world to hold a vote? That would be too much of a waste of time."

"Be more mature, you are all hundreds of thousands of years old! You guys who think you are the backbone of civilization are the biggest tumors--I haven't even been the president of Earth, learn to try to accept that not everything is under your control!"

Of course, trash talk is trash talk, it doesn't mean that Su Zhou will take action, that would be too undignified, mainly because he is too busy.

Bai Yingxue and Tang Yuan personally saw that Su Zhou didn't even move, but a few branches flashing with lightning stretched out from the spacetime rift behind him, and knocked all the resisters back--the Tree of Wisdom with Su Zhou's power supporting it was not easy to deal with, at least it could make people retreat in the face of difficulty, so as not to affect Su Zhou's progress in forging the Zhuzhou Heaven.

Of course, some were invited over to have a good chat, but in short, all those who opposed temporarily suppressed their opposition and joined the team of Dao Harmonization experts such as the Tai Shi Sacred Venerable to observe and witness.

How the reform would be, one always had to wait and witness.

--How exactly can one reach above the heavens?

How exactly can one reach Su Zhou's side?

The strong are always lonely. When people sit on the throne, there will be people who want to approach them, just because they want to sit on the throne, or occupy the seat next to the throne.

But heroes are also like this, when the banner is raised, people will naturally stand on the banner.

Su Zhou is not a banner. Perhaps he can be, but now, he is just forging a path.

Bai Yingxue sighed almost imperceptibly. This question was not what she was thinking about, but many people, very, very many people were thinking about this question.

And in this long silence, she suddenly received a communication.

"Who? %43%￥#Q344?"

Raising the personal terminal on her wrist, Bai Yingxue was a little confused, because her personal terminal was dedicated, unless it was a direct communication from the committee, otherwise no one could dial through: "Why is this number garbled?"

"It seems to be those strong men from other worlds--it happens several times a month, if they can't get through to Su Zhou, they will come to us."

Her heart immediately became alert, Tang Yuan also looked over, Bai Yingxue raised a finger, the man understood: "Another strong man from another world? Those with malice will not be let over."

"Besides, haven't we already booked a position at the Zhuzhou Heaven?"

"Alright." Bai Yingxue also knew that this was indeed the case, she thought for a while, and then opened it: "Ahem."

Clearing her throat, she calmly said: "Zhuzhou Heaven hotline sincerely serves you, now it is a manual service, what questions do you want to ask?"

[Hello]

Far away, beyond time and space, the lonely red-eyed emperor sat on the throne.

The Hong Shi Emperor smiled and sent a message: [If you are indeed the children of the 'Zhuzhou' path, then I want to know]

[In your opinion, what kind of changes has the path of reform brought about?]
