Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 12 Why Couldn't You Become Zhuzhou? (8200)

Chapter 943 Why Can't You Become Zhuzhou? (8200)

What is life to the universe?

The answer is both nothingness and everything.

To the boundless space-time, life is but a wisp of nothingness.

And to nothingness, life itself is the entirety of existence.

Existence and nothingness, infinity and the individual. If the concepts of the world have two poles, then they are located at the two ends of a line, and all life is located in the middle of these two poles. Whether it is wanting to understand the essence of existence, or understand the truth of nothingness; whether it is wanting to understand the vastness of infinity, or the purity of the individual, for life, it is infinitely distant.

So, if you want to become an infinite, absolute, and eternal existence, you need to find the meaning of your existence, know the nothingness behind the meaning, and acknowledge and transcend all of this.

So, if you want to become a transcendent being that transcends all logic, you need to connect yourself with everyone, everything, and every existence, but also unhesitatingly believe that you are the one who is right.

Overflow your own meaning from nothingness, and spread this meaning to infinity.

Comprehend that you are an individual connected to all things, and also firmly believe that you are the absolute in the boundless space-time.

The source of life is perishable, and the existence of the body and soul is meaningless, but existence is reasonable, so create a body for oneself, and let oneself be born into a soul, transforming into a substantial eternity.

It is both the destination and the origin; both the ultimate goal and the source of transcendence; both the infinite correctness and the unique life.

It is because of walking these roads, because of exploring nothingness and existence, because of experiencing all those things.

That is why there is ‘love’.

That is why I want to allow all life to not wander endlessly between existence and nothingness, to find its own unique correctness, and to understand its meaning that is both nothing and everything.

Of course.

Just like in the multiverse, there are infinitely many different lives.

There are also infinitely many kinds of love.

Around the H浑天之界, in the void of the multiverse, Su Zhou stared at the distant end.

He could see five mighty and boundless torrents surging towards him.

He wasn't the only torrent—which was nonsense, he had seen a torrent ‘Giant Hand of Creation’ over at the Creation World. That torrent, belonging to the great existence derivative type, was creating a multiverse prototype independent of the sealed multiverse, so that it could protect some lives of the sealed multiverse after the great seal collapses in the future.

In fact, there are countless such torrents. After all, this place is full of derivatives of the power of great existence, and it's not surprising to condense a few torrents that simply execute.

In addition, there are many real torrents in the sealed multiverse.

In the infinite multiverse, there should theoretically be infinite Dao Fusions, which is not false.

The number of Dao Fusions is countless. Although they are rare and powerful, no matter how large the assumed range is, even if it is a large number beyond human common sense, the number of Dao Fusions will not be too many. It is very normal for a world group to have only one or two Dao Fusions.

But after all, the multiverse is infinite, so Dao Fusions are infinite.

But torrents are different.

The torrent itself can be infinite. Even if it is an infinite multiverse, there cannot be infinite torrents—even conversely, the torrent can create infinite universes to create the prototype of the multiverse and form an infinite loop.

And now.

In this multiverse where there are no transcendents.

From its birth until now, the most powerful of those lives, holding the same will, are surging towards H浑天 from every corner of the heavens and myriad worlds.

"That's outrageous."

Su Zhou commented.

Qian Yuan Dao Zun, Jixing Shengdi, Qiongyuan Xianzhe, Shengyan Xianren, Wuming Jue Zhe. These five are all existences with the potential of torrents. If they hadn't rooted themselves in H渾天, abandoned a part of the Great Dao to become a seal, and imprisoned the ‘taboo’ whose true identity Su Zhou still doesn't know, they might, or rather must be, torrents.

This is not boasting, but the answer derived by Su Zhou's current vision of a torrent, seeing through all possibilities—if many lives need a miracle to break the impossible to become a torrent, then they are the opposite, they need some kind of ‘impossible possibility’, some kind of ‘incredible’ loss, in order not to become a torrent.

Five with the potential of torrents, working together as one torrent.

Five torrents originating from the other side of the multiverse, the five most powerful torrents in the sealed multiverse.

Plus Su Zhou, the newest but also the strongest torrent.

Now, this group of people, who can be called the most powerful under the great existence in the sealed multiverse, is about to gather around the H浑天之界.

Then…

Unfold the battle.

But just before the battle begins.

There is a voice.

A voice is coming.

Inside the H渾天之界, in the trans-temporal coordinate system spanning five epochs, traversing the endless space-time of H渾天, there came a self-talk that seemed like a prayer and seemed like confusion.

—Ancestor.

The voice said, some were men's voices, some were women's voices.

—Ancestor, I have encountered some enemies.

The voices narrated, some were human voices, some were voices of many other types of life.

But no matter what kind of life, no matter what kind of body and form, they all had one identity.

They call themselves Zhuzhou, and came in response to the ancestor's call.

And now, they are confused.

—Ancestor, I have seen some greedy monsters, they came from the void, trying to plunder my world, steal my fruits, and devour all my descendants and carefully cultivated civilizations and ecologies.

That was the voice from a Zhuzhou in the shape of a divine tree. He stared at the boundless island groups in the sky, the fleets of the Dharma Protector Buddhist Army, and stared at the rays of light, but could hardly make any sound.

—Ancestor, I have killed some respectable and pathetic enemies. They wanted to threaten my life because I am a native Tianmo (heavenly demon), the essence comes from the original chaos. Whether it is to be saved or transformed into a Tianmo treasure, my essence can be extracted to control my innate divine power… to protect other human lives that have been invaded by Tianmo.

That was the voice from an amorphous Tianmo Zhuzhou. He was located at the bottom of a Z卓然 high tower that ran through the time of endless worlds, fixing the standard timeline here. The top of the tower released a brilliant coordinate light that could run through endless time and space, which could expel the terrifying demons that breed in the darkness of endless time and space, and define what is ‘source’ in the infinite parallel timelines.

But this light needs to burn the souls of the strong to achieve. At the bottom of the tower, the team of strong men who volunteered to dedicate themselves turned into a long dragon, an endless winding snake. The tower devoured them, but released light that could nourish civilization.

—Ancestor, I once fought with people who didn't know whether they were enemies or not. They thought they were the order, they were to protect more people, so they had to eliminate some people. Although I did nothing, I was identified as an unstable factor because of my innate bloodline, so I belonged to the part to be eliminated.

—But I knew they were right, because except for me, the demon group I was in was indeed greedy and evil, they were pure beasts of desire.

That was the sighing voice from a Zhuzhou in the form of a divine dragon. He was currently located below an initial island that looked like a barbaric ancient, an island suspended above all the floating islands, defining the original meaning. He looked up at the island that was born out of chaos, constantly leading other floating islands to emerge from the void and appear in the sky, and understood that this was the scene of the first epoch of H渾天, at the beginning of creation.

However, those islands, each floating island, were all achieved by a powerful and incredible Dao Venerable deity, who slaughtered many ‘先天魔神’ (innate demon gods) that poured into H渾天 from the void—those innate demon gods were so powerful that their mere appearance in H渾天 would bring about visions that resonated with the entire universe, and an old Daoist priest chanted scriptures and slaughtered them one by one, and then transformed their Dao and bodies into one ‘island groups’ and ‘sky domains’ after another, and raised divine winds and rain clouds to separate many sky domains.

The voices of the Zhuzhou merged into one.

—Ancestor, we have encountered those powerful enemies.

—In the end, they were all defeated by us.

—Whether it's by our own strength and talent, or with the help of many friends and clansmen in the chat group, we can win.

—But Ancestor… it's not the same in this world… You said, let us let go and do it, what should we do? What should we do to deal with such powerful enemies?

—Why are they all powerful enemies, but when facing such a world, we have a feeling of being powerless?

When all the Zhuzhou see the tragic world, they can't wait to do something, but they find that they can't do anything.

Just like Yuan Cangmeng at this moment.

He is currently located in the fifth epoch, staring at the sentient beings in the A Su Luo island group, staring at batches of Dharma Protector Buddhist Army, using everything he has as fuel to emit a little light.

Yuan Cangmeng has a strange feeling in his heart, as if he suddenly had a kind heart and saw an injured little bird by the wild road in the forest. The little bird was madly hitting the tree, and was stabbed all over with deformities and sharp thorns.

The divine tree Zhuzhou felt pity, sadness, pain, and disgust.

The bird was not dead yet, but it kept hitting the tree again and again, but how could the tree be shaken by it? Even the leaves would not fall. He tried so hard to save them, but it was meaningless. The bird was still flapping and struggling, making a miserable and harsh cry, which made people feel hateful and pitiful, and really wanted them to die all sooner, so as to avoid living so miserably, and let themselves forget the miserable scene as soon as possible, and hoped that they could be cured, so that this bird could fly happily over the forest and make a pleasant cry.

Therefore, he also asked his ancestor in the sky above the A Su Luo island group, full of doubts.

At this moment.

Countless voices came from different timelines and different parallel time-spaces.

The Zhuzhou don't know what to do.

And the original Zhuzhou listened to all the voices.

Then answered.

"The answer is very simple." He said, "Because the enemies you face are not strong at all."

"How can truly powerful enemies allow you to resist and fight? In the face of their power, all living beings are dust. As long as they want, even ants and microorganisms will usher in the end together. As long as they are willing, why do they need to plunder your resources? They can completely put the entire universe in their sleeves, and then melt it into all the elements they need."

"In this process, no one will even feel that destruction is coming, at most they will just be surprised why the ‘sky’ has dimmed."

People's own definition of strength, and others watching two people fight, the definition of strength, are completely different.

For people themselves, there is a 10% chance of causing harm to themselves, which is troublesome enough, and 20% is quite tricky, 30% will cause some damage to themselves, 40% can be said to be a difficult battle, 50% is completely a strong enemy, the combat power of both sides is the same for himself.

But in fact, a 50% chance of causing harm, doesn't that mean that half of the attack is reduced? Doesn't that mean that one side's strength actually surpasses the other side?

So, in a real battle, 10% is a miscellaneous soldier, 20% is not worth mentioning, 30% is at most a small monster, 40% can only be said to be a bit difficult, 50% is a bit difficult to be called an elite monster, it can only be said to be a normal enemy.

50% is just the starting point, it must be until both sides can cause 100% damage to each other before it can be considered a ‘threat’.

As for the real enemy, at least, it must be a 10% chance that they cannot cause damage to it, immune to several attributes, and have an extremely high desire to attack, like a mad dog.

And what is the real strong enemy… what is it?

It is invincible.

"In the fifth epoch, there are infinite Tianmo, endless distorted time and space that obscure the sky, causing the Dharma Protector Buddhist Army to tremble."

"In the fourth epoch, there is the calamity of all living beings, unimaginable life distortions appear in every corner, even close friends and relatives must be killed immediately if they become distorted."

"In the third epoch, there are countless rebellions, endless parallel time-spaces that intend to determine their own orthodoxy, and worms and gods of truth and omniscience lurking."

"In the second epoch, there are evil god calamities, the demons who rebel against the heavenly court are endless, without beginning and without end, even thirty million celestial river naval forces cannot kill them all."

"And finally, in the first epoch, there are also endless Chaos Gods and Demons. Their existence has no source, and their end is the present of the entire H渾天之界."

"They are the real strong enemies—no matter who it is, whether it is the Chaos Gods and Demons, the Evil God Calamities, the rebellious time-space, the Calamity of All Living Beings, or the Infinite Tianmo, they are all enemies that are 100% invincible, 100% unable to cause damage, and 100% certain to lose for ordinary people."

Su Zhou's voice was transmitted by many incarnations, so that countless Zhuzhou knew: "Even for you, it is the same… such existence can be called a strong enemy."

"As for all the previous enemies, for us Zhuzhou, they are just the teaching tutorials of the novice village."

The words of the original Zhuzhou undoubtedly caused an uproar, not only because the enemies they had identified in the past were just monsters in the novice village from the perspective of the ancestor, but also because if we compare the difference in strength between the novice village monsters and the real enemies, this leap is no less than learning one plus one equals two and then directly trying to solve the Riemann hypothesis, and primitive humans just began to look up at the stars and then they are going to bombard the fallen empire.

And most importantly.

【Ancestor, in the past, you were dealing with such enemies…】

Some Zhuzhou spoke with such awe that it was difficult for them to imagine that people who had not experienced it personally could draw such a conclusion, and the meaning expressed by the original Zhuzhou was the despair that people who had not experienced it could not understand.

The original Zhuzhou, it was precisely because he had experienced such terrifying strong enemies that he could become such a powerful existence now?

"It's not the same."

To this, Su Zhou just shook his head: "The perspective is different, you think from the perspective of the challenger, and I am the problem."

"For those monsters that harm the world, oppress all living beings, and intend to wreak havoc on the world, I am the enemy that is 100% invincible, 100% unable to cause damage, and 100% certain to lose as long as they face me."

"They begin to wreak havoc, and I will appear; they have not fully grown, and I will wipe them out; they have just broken through the Celestial Immortal and embarked on the first step of destruction and end, and are about to step into the void of the multiverse, and I, this torrent, will directly descend."

"Most importantly."

He opened his mouth, and the incarnations looked at the many Zhuzhou beside him.

The young man smiled and encouraged: "You are stronger than me."

The Zhuzhou were all stunned.

And then, the encouraging voice of the original Zhuzhou continued to sound: "You have a choice—as long as you don't want to face these powerful strong enemies, you can tell me at any time, tell me, ‘Ancestor, I can't beat them, I want to leave’. Then, you can leave."

"You don't have to be heroes, you don't have to face these enemies, you obviously have a hard time defeating those real strong enemies… but you all stay in the H渾天之界, and you don't retreat, you don't think about running away. Although you are weak, you also ask me, ask how to defeat them."

Saying this, Su Zhou said with emotion: "I can't compare to you. Because I am just a natural hero, I have never experienced any choices."

"I am just naturally powerful, naturally brave, naturally a Zhuzhou… I can never say, say, ‘When facing a 100% invincible enemy, I will definitely persist in resisting’."

"Because in front of me, there is never any 100% invincible enemy… the teachings of the Celestial God Engraving and Yala, let me face, always 50%, at most 7-80% of the enemies."

"And you, although you have accepted my inheritance, you are all standing here with your own will and determination, to face those extremely powerful enemies."

"This is already a determination that surpasses me—Zhuzhou should be like this, succeeding and surpassing the predecessors."

At this moment.

Even in the H渾天之界, at the top of countless sky domains, the starry sky dome that reflects the stars of many worlds in the multiverse also lit up with shining rays of light that seemed to run through countless world groups!

In the battlefield where the cyan-purple and chaos confronted each other, there were also five other brilliant divine lights, which were coming towards the H渾天之界 with a vast, tsunami-like, avalanche-like surging trend!

【Torrent…】

【Five… no, a total of six torrents…】

Some Zhuzhou made a sound of real fear. That was an enemy that was perhaps countless times stronger than all the powerful enemies in the H渾天之界—the power of the torrent, how could they, as the successors of the Zhuzhou, not understand its true meaning? That is the prototype of the future transcendent, the original form of those who are about to surpass everything.

Their ancestor is one.

And the ones that are hostile to it, there are six.

【Ancestor…】

Therefore, some Zhuzhou asked the original Zhuzhou with awe.

They asked: 【For you, what percentage of the enemies are those torrents in the sky?】

"Hmm…"

To this.

Su Zhou, who was in the void of the multiverse, looking around at the surrounding divine light, touched his chin: "It's a bit difficult to calculate."

He laughed, then shook his head and said: "But at most, adding them together is just."

"A mere 50% or so, barely considered a normal enemy."

——For infinity, what is the difference between one and six of the same kind? It doesn't matter if there are ten more.

Saying this with a smile, Su Zhou didn't care at all about the five unknown torrents that were rushing towards him.

He strode forward and walked towards the direction where Wuming Jue Zhe was.

"You have your own Dao, and this Dao is related to ‘reincarnation’ and ‘end’, but in the end, it condenses into ‘karma’."

The mutual approach between torrents is extremely difficult. Both sides can tear the void at will, create space-time barriers, and distort cognition and concepts—not to mention being close at hand, they can even tamper with the most basic concepts of the multiverse, so that the act of approaching itself represents the original distance.

However, with the support of the Ultimate Distance Dao, even if the Five Supremes worked together to stop Su Zhou, they could not stop the approach of Su Zhou's will.

The young man's voice came with his knife, with a sharp metallic tremor: "Dao Venerable is perfection and fate, Holy Emperor is unity and coordination, Sage is creation and pioneer, Immortal is balance, existence and continuation."

"I can see it now, you all have unique skills, you have unparalleled inheritance—but you have transcended from it and found your own Dao!"

【Benefactor, aren't you the same?】

Walking in the ‘Karma Dao’, a part of the torrent, Wuming Jue Zhe raised a hand. Even though this hand was chopped off by Su Zhou's knife in the next moment, he still replied calmly: 【You have many unparalleled inheritances. Looking at the multiverse, I am afraid that not even a single person is stronger than you in this regard—but even so, you still follow your own Dao, instead of following those more distant correctnesses】

【Isn't it because of these that those torrents are more willing to believe us and believe that we can find a new correctness?】

The torrents from all directions of the multiverse, although they have not shown their names and shown their existence, the meaning of their Great Dao has already been revealed. Su Zhou can sense that they are the selectors of the five Great Daos of 【Unity】【Reincarnation】【Fate】【Creation】 and 【Existence】.

They are the most obsessed, the most crazy, and also the most correct and loving existences in this multiverse full of crazy people, lunatics, and those who pursue correctness—the firmness of their will can even adapt to the love of great existence, and use their own power to expand those correct inheritances to infinite boundaries.

However, above them, there are ‘lunatics’ who are even better than them.

That is, even if they recognize many correctnesses, they do not fully agree with them, but want to walk their own unique path.

The Five Supremes and Su Zhou are all such people.

【Give up.】

At this moment, Su Zhou is still constantly trying to approach the Five Supremes, as if he wants to solve this torrent of the Five Supremes unified before the other five torrents arrive.

To this, Qian Yuan Dao Zun shook his head and said: 【Original Zhuzhou, you also know that for us torrents, one-on-many is no different from one-on-one. What we need is waiting, but you just want to know the truth】

【Our goals are not different, so why do you have to force us like this? When the plan is completed, we will all tell you frankly】

"Don't the people who die now count as people?"

To this, Su Zhou did not hesitate in the slightest: "You created such a world, and you want me to wait?"

He seemed to be unable to hear the words of the Five Supremes, as if he was really like a madman, he must take down a city first and defeat the Five Supremes before the other five torrents arrive.

But this is obviously impossible—the previous Zhuzhou could not do it, and the current Zhuzhou naturally cannot do it either.

【Benefactor, I am telling the truth, it is not that we created such a world, but all living beings chose hundreds of millions of times in the future, and finally gave birth to me】

Wuming Jue Zhe knew that Su Zhou was accusing himself, he shook his head and said: 【If I die, I can eliminate such a suffering sea of woes, I will immediately commit suicide and attain Nirvana, and return the Dao to H渾天—but in fact, Zhuzhou benefactor, can't you see it?】

【Those Infinite Tianmo, if I die, without the sacrifice and restraint of ‘karma’ and ‘obsession’, they will spread, expand, and grow, and then devour the five epochs, and finally unite the different disasters of the five epochs to restore the original original form】

Saying this, Wuming Jue Zhe's tone even carried a trace of fear: 【That is the prototype of the taboo】

Jue Zhe's tone was not fear, but fear of the demise of all living beings, and even the end of everything in the multiverse.

Su Zhou could hear that it was definitely not an emotion that emerged for his own existence, but a true great love, a true sorrow and fear for the survival of all living beings.

But he still pursued and slashed.

The Five Supremes intended to wait for the arrival of reinforcements, and Su Zhou seemed to have some means to cross the eternal equilibrium between torrents—the Five Supremes did not dare to gamble that Su Zhou did not have any, facing this so powerful and young torrent, they believed in infinite possibilities and miracles, and were unwilling to confront the other side head-on.

So, the Zhuzhou and the Five Supremes began a chase battle in the void of this multiverse for a while.

Su Zhou was obviously at a disadvantage in this regard, because the chase itself required determining the ‘target’, that is, choosing one from the infinite possibilities, and if it was avoidance, for the Five Supremes, it was choosing infinity from the infinite possibilities.

This can also be considered the reason why it is impossible to easily talk about victory between torrents—even if one side blindly avoids the battle, the other side will never be able to catch up with the other side.

Of course, if Su Zhou also ran away like this, let alone six torrents, sixty would not be able to catch him—but the other party's purpose was to delay time. If he wanted to know the truth about H渾天, he had to face it head-on.

Soon, Su Zhou found it difficult to capture the traces of the Five Supremes. Even if he twisted the surrounding multiverse and became the multiverse axis of this space-time, it was not difficult for the Five Supremes to break free from this bondage with their current torrent-level power.

But at this moment, the young man laughed.

"I understand." He said with confidence: "I know why the H渾天之界, why it is wandering around in the multiverse, like a fish swimming rapidly in the sea."

"The H渾天之界 is not aimlessly wandering—its course of action is exactly ‘the most dense place of life and possibilities in the multiverse’
