Chapter 559 Watch Closely, My True Form! (W-Sized Chapter, Seeking Monthly Tickets at the Beginning of the Month!)

In the blink of an eye, three Heavenly Demons were annihilated, the unbelievable power of the Zhuzhou True Form now unmistakably revealed.

But the battle results only reached this point for the time being.

The remaining twenty Heavenly Demons, having witnessed Su Zhou's terrifying power, no longer acted alone. They began to seek out other Heavenly Demons who could coordinate, joining forces to face Su Zhou's various attacks.

Forcibly forcing the Heavenly Demons, who were accustomed to fighting individually, to join hands was an extremely rare experience for them. However, the Heavenly Demons' divine abilities were inherently powerful, and the power they unleashed in cooperation was indeed astonishing, enough to threaten the Zhuzhou True Form.

But even so, they could not pose much of a threat to Su Zhou.

The youth was not a combat purist who insisted on relying on his own strength to defeat the enemy. Faced with the increasingly encircling Heavenly Demons, feeling threatened, he directly backed up against Tai Bai Pass.

If the Heavenly Demons wanted to besiege him, they had to break through Tai Bai Pass's fortress shield. But if they wanted to break through Tai Bai Pass's fortress shield, they had to defeat Zhuzhou first—a fundamental dead end, forming an infinite loop of which came first, the chicken or the egg.

Moreover, the Yingtian Chengqi Five Virtues Grand Formation was not just for show. Its power, under the control of several Perfected Ones, was comparable to the divine abilities of a god or demon's descent, and even surpassed them in some aspects.

Taking advantage of the moment when Su Zhou had just retracted the arms that had killed the Violence and Destruction Heavenly Demons, and his qi was not flowing smoothly, the Collapse Heavenly Demon, wielding a giant hammer, transformed into lightning, suddenly approached the Zhuzhou True Form from the side.

His divine ability was a natural counter to this kind of fusion and combination. If he were struck by his Disintegration Giant Hammer, then even Su Zhou would be forced to disintegrate his true form, turn into fragments, and suffer heavy damage.

But before he could raise his hand, the Heavenly Demon, sensing the danger, was forced to retreat a step, because a dazzling Xiantian Geng Metal sword qi had already landed in the area where he had been.

A slight tremor was heard, and a platinum-colored light burst forth, directly blowing away large swathes of earth. A giant hole leading straight to the depths of the earth appeared on the ground. Within a straight line spanning dozens of miles, the earth collapsed and shattered, forming a miniature canyon. The Heavenly Demon, who had barely dodged, was covered in cold sweat.

Such a battle took place in the blink of an eye.

By the time Su Zhou reacted to the enemy's attack from his side, the horn on his head had already shot out a sharp Nirvana Blade Qi—the Collapse Heavenly Demon hastily raised his giant hammer to meet it. Immediately, a grating metallic clang rang out, and the Heavenly Demon also grunted, flying backwards into the distance, falling to the ground, raising large clouds of smoke, dust, and shattered rock that soared into the sky.

With Tai Bai Pass at his back, facing many gods and demons, Su Zhou showed no signs of decline, and even tended to become more and more courageous as he fought.

And the many Heavenly Demons, who had thought they could smoothly take down this mere little divine bird, were constantly suffering injuries and losses, and even retreated step by step, suppressed by the Zhuzhou True Form's increasingly skillful various strange combat techniques.

[…This Zhuzhou is not normal…]

Above the distant firmament, in the Sea of Void.

A profound will swept across the Tianyuan Mortal Realm with some doubt.

The will of the Heavenly Demon King, Mōra, flickered.

Due to the changes of the Haotian God-Emperor, He, who had also appeared to investigate the situation, naturally knew the cause of the battle on the ground—and the performance of Zhuzhou, which had not originally caught his attention, also surprised him at this moment: [Suppressing double-digit Heavenly Demons with his own strength? Are my subordinates too weak, or is Zhuzhou too strong?]

[Even relying on the terrain, it is still too exaggerated. Ordinary single-attribute phoenixes cannot compare to him at all, let alone ordinary divine birds!]

In the Tianyuan Mortal Realm, in the Primordial Era, it was actually common to see single-attribute phoenixes.

In that era when the pure qi of heaven and earth and the substances of longevity were most abundant, phoenixes with a single Virtue would often spontaneously emerge from the void, soaring between heaven and earth, regulating the balance of heaven and earth's primordial qi.

These creatures, naturally condensed from the pure qi of nature, requiring no parents, and born with inheritance, were indeed among the most powerful divine birds in the world.

But after the God-Demon Era, when the Primordial Heavenly Emperor transformed into the Bright Moon, using the stars of the heavens as a source to absorb pure qi, the pure qi of heaven and earth became increasingly scarce and thin. Since then, no phoenix that could be naturally conceived had ever been seen in the Tianyuan Mortal Realm. Most of them were born from sudden changes in the world, phoenixes emerging in response to calamity.

And since the Second Generation Heavenly Emperor, the Demon Lord, Suan Su Ji Mie, the primordial qi of heaven and earth in the Tianyuan Mortal Realm had been almost entirely absorbed by the Star Plates of the Heavens.

All preparations were nearing completion. The great tribulation was approaching. The Third Generation Taihao God-Emperor was preparing to take this opportunity to imitate the actions of the Primordial Heavenly Emperor of the past, transforming infinite pure qi and humanity into the 'Heavenly Human Opening Five Virtues Divine Light' to break through the boundaries of the God-Demon Realm and achieve the 'Dao One' realm!

And this time, Taihao, who already knew that the earth veins would cause terrible anomalies, could not return to the interior of the Tianyuan World during this period and once again trigger the appearance of the Great Unfavorable.

And in order to increase the success rate, He would also continue to collect various materials and classics related to the phoenix.

This was the fundamental reason why the Immortals and Gods supported Ming Zhengde in unifying the world, but also allowed the Heavenly Demons to invade.

Originally, the Heavenly Demon King thought that Zhuzhou was the last phoenix of this era of the Earth Vein Apocalypse, and that this phoenix, which had emerged in response to the calamity, almost possessed all Five Virtues. In terms of divine ability cultivation, it was probably second only to the Five Virtues Divine Light of the New Dynasty Holy Emperor.

This was probably the last struggle of heaven and earth itself.

But now, it seemed that the facts were not so.

Because ordinary phoenixes were simply not as strong as Zhuzhou!

[Interesting, interesting—Taihao, what will you do in the face of this phoenix?]

Clearly, the Heavenly Demons under his command were constantly being bombarded, torn apart, and swallowed by divine light by Su Zhou, who had transformed into the Zhuzhou True Form.

But the Heavenly Demon King was still watching all this with interest.

Outside Tai Bai Pass, as the Heavenly Demons continued to die in battle, the wandering spirituality between heaven and earth became increasingly dense.

Originally standing among the mountains, using the mountains as a barrier, Tai Bai Pass, due to the various aftermath and destruction caused by the battles of many Heavenly Demons and Zhuzhou, had now been forced to become an isolated mountain peak on the plains. The huge Heavenly Pass and the land it sheltered stood like a volcanic cone.

After all, when all the slightly higher mountains and hills around had been leveled by hundreds or thousands of shock waves sufficient to flatten the surface, and even collapsed into canyons and basins, then the relatively highest area could be called a mountain.

If such impacts were to occur on Earth, some island nations would probably have sunk long ago. If it were on the mainland, at least half of the World Island would be shaken by it, and even the continental shelf would be shattered.

If this level of battle continued for a while longer, even the planet would probably be stripped of a layer of skin, exposing the scorching flesh beneath the crust.

And this was the destructive power that a Perfected One, comparable to a god or demon, could cause.

At this moment, as the souls of many Heavenly Demons were shattered by Zhuzhou and their incarnations were swallowed, the concentration of spirituality outside the Heavenly Pass alone had begun to return to the level of a normal world, and even began to soar towards the level of spirituality concentration on Earth.

Naturally, Su Zhou was becoming more and more like a fish in water, becoming more and more courageous as he fought.

Ultimately, his power was at its greatest when amplified in an environment with dense spirituality.

Spirituality might not be an important thing for the natives of this world and their special inheritances, but it was not so for Su Zhou. The various cultivation methods of the Earth Immortals and Gods were based on the fullness of spirituality—although it was not impossible to use them without it, it was indeed stronger with more.

At the same time, as time passed, reinforcements were gradually arriving.

"Zhuzhou, old… I'm here to help you!"

At the end of the distant horizon, a crimson light lit up.

Accompanied by a clear and heroic female voice that shook the atmosphere, just as the Burning Heaven Demon was condensing power against Su Zhou, creating a vast sea of plasma fire of millions of degrees and a plasma storm that blotted out the sky, the light of the Flame Divine Bird also shone.

"Good, good!"

The current Vermillion Bird, Yan Chi Li, was the first batch to depart and the first batch to arrive as reinforcements. After sensing the other party's existence, Su Zhou, who had originally wanted to condense his own power to resist the fire sea that blotted out the sky, laughed loudly, then turned around trustingly, leaving his back open, allowing the high-temperature plasma fire clouds created by the Burning Heaven Demon to constantly approach him.

Then, a vermillion-colored divine light flashed, meeting these attacks head-on!

Boom!

The Xuanzhen Lihuo Body was displayed in the world, and all heat was absorbed and transformed by the endless patterns on the Vermillion Bird's divine body the moment it made contact.

The fire clouds that blotted out the sky seemed to begin to gather because of the divine bird's appearance. The surging crimson heat waves were easily absorbed, causing the Vermillion Bird to cry out comfortably, and the Burning Heaven Demon to roar in fear and incomprehension.

Yan Chi Li's strength was comparable to that of a god or demon. If her power were in the era when the Primordial Heavenly Emperor ruled and the spirituality between heaven and earth was still abundant, she would probably have been able to obtain the corresponding ticket and ascend to the position of Immortal God.

Transformed into the Xuanzhen Lihuo Body, and having also cultivated the Five Virtues Qilin Method popularized by Su Zhou and Ming Zhengde some time ago, the divine bird at this moment seemed very relaxed and comfortable facing the Burning Heaven Demon one-on-one.

With her helping to protect the rear, plus the assistance of the guarding Perfected Ones such as Yan Changfeng inside and outside the pass, then even if they were really facing many Heavenly Demons head-on, Zhuzhou would never be at a disadvantage!

However, the long entanglement with many Heavenly Demons would eventually come to an end.

As the reinforcements from afar gradually arrived one after another, countless fireflies lit up from behind, and with the continuous spiritual energy and formation support from Tai Bai Heavenly Pass, the many Heavenly Demons that had originally besieged Su Zhou now numbered only a few.

Although the Zhuzhou True Form was also teetering, with arms and body full of scars and damage left by various Heavenly Demon divine abilities, it was clear who had suffered more damage.

Being defeated by Su Zhou was not the same as being defeated by ordinary Perfected Ones. The power of the Evil-Eating Demon Lord would directly devour the origin of this descending power, causing damage to the Heavenly Demons sleeping in the Nine Nether Desire Sea in essence—this alone was enough to make Zhuzhou a nightmare for the Heavenly Demons.

So, in the end, all the Heavenly Demons made a desperate move. They joined forces to launch a sudden attack, gathering their divine abilities, preparing to burn out their own power and shatter Su Zhou's core.

Fragility, bitterness, conspiracy, collapse, oppression.

In that instant, the powers of the five great Heavenly Demons converged in one place. A gray-black spiritual light erupted, and finally condensed into a profound divine light. It cut through the smoke and dust that permeated the sky. The vast power had just wanted to trigger the vibration of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, but the power of divine ability suppressed this aftermath into nothingness.

It wasn't that Su Zhou didn't want to dodge, but in that instant, he felt that the space around him was fragmented, and the power of every movement was frozen, disintegrated into hundreds of different instructions.

So, in the giant god's surprised gaze, the gray light pierced through his chest. It directly passed through all defenses and shattered the core crystal in Su Zhou's chest.

——Success!

This was the thought of all the attackers. Although it was quite laborious, they had finally defeated this damned Zhuzhou incarnation, killing him after paying a heavy price.

But they had misunderstood one thing.

That was that Zhuzhou's surprise was essentially a kind of gratification.

"Finally, someone attacked here—I was still wondering if the armor was too thick, so they thought they couldn't break it, so no one attacked all along."

Crack, a crisp crack.

The core crystal in the giant god's chest, rotating with the light of the Five Virtues, immediately began to creak and crack.

Su Zhou opened his mouth with a smile, but before he could make any sound, an incomparably terrifying spiritual energy storm was set off, causing the surrounding heaven and earth to be swallowed by this violent turbulence.

The core crystal exploded, setting off a storm of energy. The howling wind of destruction was incomparably astonishing in the area around Tai Bai Pass, which was rich in spirituality. Almost in an instant, the spreading five-colored spiritual light completely swallowed and annihilated the several Heavenly Demons who had launched the joint attack and had not had time to rejoice for long.

And the remaining power continued forward, sweeping away all traces of the battle like a tsunami, turning the entire world into a boiling sea of lava and tumbling glazed crystals.

The battle results were extremely significant.

Since the Warring States period thousands of years ago, and even from more ancient times, this was perhaps the first time that humans had achieved such a magnificent victory in the face of the Heavenly Demons.

Gods and demons—were not invincible!

Such a belief was implanted in the hearts of everyone present.

At this moment, it could be seen that in the center of the core crystal explosion, five slightly damaged phoenix feathers were rotating.

The azure-golden divine bird's main body retracted the feathers onto his body. Even Su Zhou was a little weak at this moment, but even though his Zhuzhou giant god form was broken, he still showed a look of excitement.

Cooperating with reinforcements and the geographical advantage of Tai Bai Pass to eliminate more than twenty nearly equal-level gods and demons was something that would have been almost impossible when he had just arrived in the Tianyuan World. Neither his martial arts, combat skills, nor hard power could guarantee this.

This proved that his martial arts had rapidly improved in the battles in this world, no longer just relying on physical fitness and basic crushing of the opponent like before.

For Su Zhou, the multiple world crossings, opportunities were secondary. This kind of opportunity to always find powerful enemies to fight and hone his beliefs and skills was the real key.

This feeling of constantly surpassing himself and constantly achieving himself was indeed very gratifying.

Without the Heavenly Demons, the sky was incomparably desolate, and scattered clouds still dropped snowflakes, and the stars in the heavens flickered.

The divine bird folded its wings and landed on the lava in front of the Heavenly Pass. Su Zhou's body was flashing with layers upon layers of five elements spiritual patterns, as if vaguely condensing characters on his body, slightly trembling in the night, entangled with wisps of pure light.

This was the natural state of the power of Five Virtues Rotation. The so-called phoenix having seven colors and bearing five virtues originated from this. The dense spiritual patterns crisscrossed and overlapped, indeed as eye-catching as writing.

The wild wind of the Northern Border lifted, blowing away all the black distracting thoughts left by the Heavenly Demons, and a wind that sounded like the cheers of tens of thousands of people rang out in the Heavenly Pass, celebrating the arrival of victory.

Battle roars and long horns echoed in the sky.

At this moment, the youth raised his head and gazed at the high sky.

At the same time, the God-Emperor lowered his head and looked down on the world.

Tianyuan World, Sea of Void.

——What exactly are Immortals and Gods?

The Taihao God-Emperor gazed at everything in the world.

From beginning to end, He had watched all of Su Zhou's battles, and how the many Heavenly Demons had collapsed and been annihilated.

And the turmoil that had occurred in this Tianyuan Mortal World for thousands upon thousands of years, almost all of it.

There would never be any living being who could have more say in this regard than Him.

So, close your eyes.

Everything originated from the era after the moon fell, a flying bird constantly flying towards the high sky in an increasingly intense environment of the Longevity Tribulation.

It chased the light of the sun, flying towards the end of the distant horizon. Even if it failed again and again, it would still depart again and again, like endless persistence, endless repetition.

The flying bird was not a divine bird. It had no bloodline and no peculiar talent. It just flew, cultivated, constantly surpassed its own limits, constantly surpassed the limits of its lifespan, day and night flying towards the sky above—

Along the way, many divine birds more excellent than it had died, and many geniuses more powerful than it had fallen.

Because of obsession, because they succumbed to the tribulation and suffering, and indulged in the mundane emotions and enjoyment of the mortal world, because they were always entangled in distracting thoughts.

So they were destined to usher in a failed ending.

Only obsession could bring power beyond everything.

So the flying bird, it could never stop its process of flying towards higher places, could never stop, as if it were a curse.

And in the end, after experiencing countless falls and countless failures, the flying bird finally ushered in its own opportunity—its soul surpassed its body, rose into the sky, and shone with light.

Under the guidance of fate, He became a star hanging in the sky, high above the highest point of the sky, becoming a member of the Immortals and Gods.

So, He never wanted to fall again.

Never wanted to.

Immortals and Gods.

——What exactly are the so-called Immortals and Gods?

At this moment, opening his eyes, the Taihao God-Emperor's consciousness broke away from the memories of the distant past.

In His memory, the 'We will win' that Ming Zhengde had said with such unwavering firmness could not help but emerge again.

The power of humans… of mortals.

In Zhuzhou's eyes that were gazing at the high sky, the light that would never succumb to any hardship was even more dazzling than the stars. The light that shone on the ground even surpassed the starlight in the sky.

On the huge golden giant star, eyes emerged one by one, and the God-Emperor's heart was not calm.

He had indeed underestimated them—or rather, He had forgotten the power that his own obsession could bring when He was just a mere flying bird.

So, there was a sigh.

[——How similar, Human King.]

[This posture of yours, constantly struggling in the mortal world, never succumbing to fate, always makes me feel extremely familiar, extremely nostalgic… So, I chose you to become the Ziwei Star Lord, just as Taihao chose me in the past.]

[But, you refused. Again and again, denying the mercy and opportunity that I bestowed upon you.]

[——Yes, indeed, the obsession of mortals can also create miracles. Zhuzhou's power is indeed surprising to me, and that is indeed incomparably shining light.]

[But… it is not a reason to disrespect the Gods and Demons!]

The God-Emperor's tone was incomparably solemn.

What are Immortals and Gods?

——The so-called Immortals and Gods are the beings who determine the rules.

——The so-called Immortals and Gods are the beings who should lead all living beings.

These were all very correct.

But for the Taihao Heavenly Emperor, all of this had an even greater premise.

——The so-called Immortals and Gods should be beings who are above everything!

Mortals.

Precisely because He had been a mortal before, a mere flying bird that was as ordinary as could be, because He yearned for that dazzling posture hanging in the sky, He had cultivated uninterruptedly for countless years with obsession.

So the current Heavenly Emperor knew what He was pursuing.

——If it wasn't to become the supreme, why cultivate!?

——If it wasn't for eternal immortality, why cultivate?!

——If one could not be above all living beings, overlooking all things in heaven and earth, then why would cultivators cultivate, and why would they spend an incomparably long time, and waste the most beautiful years and months of their lives, and cultivate themselves day after day!?

Immortals and Gods should be existences who are so high above, causing all things to bow down and submit!

It was yearning for that posture, so, so the Taihao God-Emperor had been pursuing it all along.

Pursuing that brilliance that could recreate everything, command everything, called Pishi!

——The so-called human heart Five Virtues was to rule everything, to make all living beings look up to it, to make all who do not obey submit, and to make all who do not respect kneel.

In all the admiring gazes in the world, the reverence, fear, envy, expectation, and desire contained within were the Virtue of Immortals and Gods!

It was the Five Virtues of Taihao!

But all of this had a premise.

That was that Immortals and Gods could indeed completely suppress all things and all living beings without any suspense.

And now, on the earth, there was a small divine bird, and an arrogant Human King, who were challenging this majesty.

If, everything was really as Ming Zhengde had said, if humans could really defeat the Nine Nether Demon Army, and could really withstand the wrath of the Nine Nethers… then the correctness that Taihao insisted on, His upright and almost certain-to-win scheme, would also fail because of this.

[…It's really unpleasant.]

After a long silence.

In the end, the God-Emperor sighed and made up his mind.

[Capture Zhuzhou.]

The cold and vast divine thought resounded through the starry sky: [Bring him here.]

[I want to see what kind of anomaly it is that can defeat many Gods and Demons as a Perfected One.]

He personally gave the order, with no room for reversal.

And so.

Tianyuan Mortal World.

Above the northern sky, in the extremely distant firmament, starlight suddenly rose, and anomalies appeared.

The dim night sky suddenly lit up, and dozens or hundreds of stars flickered with different lights, and then transformed into streams of starlight of various colors, falling towards the earth below.

As if rainbow light had descended into the world, seven-colored auroras meandered in the sky, and scattered meteor showers drew different arcs, falling from the sky.

And in the end, all the arcs would converge and intersect at one place.

Bai Shan Continent.

Standing in the cold wind, Su Zhou raised his head and looked up at the sky.

The wild wind billowed the divine bird's wings, and each feather, like a divine weapon, collided with each other, making a crisp wind chime sound, like a harbinger of change.

"What, could it still be Heavenly Demons?!"

"No, that, that seems to be Immortals and Gods!"

"The Immortals and Gods have come to help us!"

At this moment, scattered shouts like this rang out within Tai Bai Pass.

From the perspective of ordinary people, Immortals and Gods were the friendly forces who had begun to support the New Dynasty during the Warring States Period.

Of course, the descent of Gods and Demons was terrifying, and Gods and Demons really didn't care about the prosperity or decline of the mortal realm, but the attitude towards Immortals and Gods had always been that of a respectable and awe-inspiring strict father in the hearts of most people, a great existence that needed to be worshiped.

However, there were also veterans who had experienced the Zhengyang Kingdom battlefield whose eyes were solemn.

"Something's not right… This kind of exaggerated descent of Gods and Demons is not normal!"

"Dealing with Heavenly Demons is enough in the outer void, why come to the mortal world?!"

They also looked up, but not because of respect, but because of vigilance.

At that time, heaven and earth were solemn.

Boundless starlight fell one after another, and shouts came from the sky.

That was the sound of the tide of spiritual energy surging, the sound of the crowd's confused discussions, the crackling sound of the lava tumbling on the ground, and even more the extremely cold wind from the Northern Continent that had long been frozen by Xuanming, causing the Northern Border to freeze.

Heaven and earth seemed to be filled with countless sounds, incomparably noisy, and there were faint thunders in the sky, rumbling down, approaching.

But for those who were seriously paying attention to the world, heaven and earth were incomparably silent.

"So that's how it is… Has someone already set a 'goal'?"

Watching the brilliance that had already begun to condense in the surrounding sky, transforming into stars emitting halos, Su Zhou nodded slightly. He said to himself calmly: "So, as long as there is a slight deviation from the road, there will be external forces, Deus ex machina, forcibly attracting all destinies back to the original trajectory, again and again."

Speaking softly, the youth suddenly laughed: "Ming Zhengde, this is what you have to face. No wonder you are so unwilling, never giving up—presumably perfection also hates fate, right? This feeling of never getting the ending you want is really annoying."

"It's really thanks to you for holding on for 30,000 lives. If I hadn't come, who knows how many more times you would have to be reborn."

At this moment, thunder rumbled, and darkness was suddenly torn open by a huge lightning bolt, illuminating the night.

Afterwards, the starlight that filled the sky began to condense, condensing into sacred and solemn divine shadows.

[Zhuzhou.]

A voice that was above everything else sounded: [Disrespecting the Gods and Demons.]

[A great crime.]

The sky seemed to be burning.

The ice dust that filled the sky was brilliant under the light of the Gods and Demons descending from outside the sky. The entire sky was filled with these flying light spots, and between these flying snow dust, one after another incarnation of the Gods and Demons condensed in the high sky of the mortal world.

The huge giant gods were like mountains, great clouds, wild winds, and oceans tumbling in the night sky. The Immortals and Gods occupied every corner of the sky. After hundreds of millions of years, they had returned from the top of the sky once again and were still overlooking the mortal world.

They were still guiding the mortal world, still making rules, and were still high above.

It was just that everything was greatly different from when Tai Chu gently named all things millions of years ago.

All the Gods and Demons were all gazing at Zhuzhou, gazing at the divine bird whose wings were somewhat damaged. The Heavenly Emperor's order was absolute. If the Immortals and Gods made the rules of the human world, then the Heavenly Emperor made the rules of the Immortals and Gods.

Within Tai Bai Pass, all the cheers gradually fell silent. Even the most naive people realized that the situation was not the same as they had imagined. The Heavenly Demons had been defeated, and the Immortals and Gods who had come again obviously did not have good intentions.

Zhuzhou…

Were they here to capture the Imperial Advisor?

On the ground, in a flash of dazzling light, Su Zhou's divine bird form dissipated, and he transformed back into a human body, standing on the beacon tower of Tai Bai Pass.

In the eyes of some people, and even Immortals and Gods, this seemed to be a kind of abandonment.

However, even so, even though Su Zhou had dissolved the form of the divine bird after several hundred years, the Immortals and Gods still did not dare to underestimate that seemingly tiny figure.

——At first, Zhuzhou was not like this.

There was a divine thought of a descending Immortal and God that was so confused. He had also watched the world and had seen Zhuzhou's power in the past. It was indeed powerful, but it was far from reaching the point it was now.

At that time, Zhuzhou already had the strength of a peak Perfected One, but now, he had not yet achieved the realm of a God or Demon… Could it be said that Perfected Ones could also be so strong? Or was it that Immortals and Gods were not as powerful as they had imagined?

——Why, why could Zhuzhou become so strong?

When facing Zhuzhou, even Immortals and Gods could not help but question and begin to think about some questions that they had never thought about before.

However, these thoughts were just momentary delusions and disappeared like floating dust in an instant.

The Immortals and Gods who filled the sky were still looking down on all living beings from the clouds, waiting for Zhuzhou to step forward himself, and confess his guilt himself.

And Su Zhou was standing on the earth, silently looking around at these descending stars. He only had a knife in his hand, but it seemed that it was already enough.

No.

It was not just a knife.

Accompanied by the sound of footsteps, a figure appeared behind Su Zhou.

Holding the Nine Tribulations Longsword, Yan Changfeng came to the youth's side silently. He gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

The red figure flickered lightly, and Vermillion Bird Yan Chi Li also stood by the youth's side in a carefree manner.

Behind the youth, in the entire Northern Border Tai Bai Pass, all the guarding soldiers had not stopped their actions. They were still constantly urging the formation, coordinating the operation of spiritual power, and drawing vast and mighty power from the endless earth veins beneath them, transforming it into fuel to drive the divine and demonic grand formation.

The Yingtian Chengqi Five Virtues Rotation Grand Formation was still running and had not stopped because of the descent of the Immortals and Gods.

Further away, the fluorescent lights were still flashing, and the reinforcements had not stopped their steps because of the anomalies and terrifying aura at the end of the sky.

They were still gathering, still arriving.

——Between the Gods and Demons and Zhuzhou, they chose to believe in Zhuzhou.

Why?

Perhaps it was because someone in their family had cultivated the Rotation of Immortality Method, allowing their lifespan to be extended.

Perhaps it was because a friend had regenerated a missing limb and regained the right to live as a normal person.

Perhaps it was because of the popularization of the Five Virtues Qilin Method, which had fulfilled many people's dreams, allowing countless people who could not start cultivation to realize their former fantasies.

Perhaps it was because some people's families happened to be working around Northern Ridge City.

Or perhaps it was because some people's friends and acquaintances had been killed by the Zhengyang remnants, and Su Zhou had happened to kill Nan Zhengkai.

Zhuzhou had brought many, many changes to this world.

He, who came from outside the world, was indeed the cause of the changes, the leader of the reform, and would always change the established destiny, leading the world to another track.

However, these were not reasons to support Zhuzhou. Because change would bring chaos, reform would cause changes, and changing the established destiny might lead to worse results. It was difficult to say whether another track would lead to beauty or destruction.

There were thousands of reasons to support Su Zhou, but in the end, only one point could be determined.

That was.

Zhuzhou was correct.

At least, in any case, a being who fought for all living beings, strived for all living beings, and tried to bring better changes to all living beings could not be said to be wrong.

——Why are the strong strong?

It was because they were correct.

Even if this correctness was wrong in the eyes of others.

He himself must believe in this absolute correctness.

No matter how unbearable, strange, or insignificant that correctness was in the eyes of others… the result was the same.

"Divine Bird."

The youth said to himself in a low voice, a voice that could be heard by Yan Chi Li and others behind him, his tone with a hint of regret: "The divine birds of this world that have lost their pure light cannot defeat these Gods and Demons."

That was the transcendence that had settled for millions of years, the power that truly determined everything in this world.

Su Zhou's words were an undoubted fact. Facing the power that the Immortals and Gods of the Heavenly Border had settled for millions of years, the mortal world, which had been in decline for hundreds of thousands of years, did not have any room for resistance.

In just an instant, the high-end martial force that the Immortals and Gods descended from the sky had surpassed the sum of all the beings in the mortal world.

But even so, no one retreated. Even though Su Zhou admitted his inferiority, it was still the same.

The starlight in the sky flickered, and the Immortals and Gods seemed to have heard these words, so they flickered.

[Zhuzhou, run!]

At this moment, Su Zhou could hear Ming Zhengde relying on the connection between the Yingtian Chengqi Five Virtues Grand Formations, and through the connection between the Central Earth Grand Formation and the Northern Border Grand Formation, transmitting a message to himself from afar, his tone solemn, but with a hint of relief: [Run, my Imperial Advisor, return to your world!]

[The Heavenly Emperor is furious, and hundreds of Immortals and Gods have descended their thoughts. This time, we can no longer succeed. If you continue to stay, you will definitely be captured—there is no need to take risks for our world!]

Saying this, although Ming Zhengde admitted his failure, his tone was unwavering: [Because of you, I understand the method of changing the world!]

[Next time, next rebirth, if there is a next time, I will have more confidence to complete the Jedi Tiantong and achieve my perfect world!]

Ming Zhengde's words were incomparably sincere. Those were the heartfelt admonitions of the Human Emperor.

He did not know whether Zhuzhou could be reborn like him, nor did he know whether he could continue to be reborn.

Therefore, he was unwilling to let Zhuzhou, this virtuous divine bird who drew his sword to help the oppressed, waste his power, or even his life, for this world that had nothing to do with him.

To this, Su Zhou did not answer.

Ming Zhengde was indeed not wrong.

He, who could rebel again and again, and sacrifice one life to pave the way for the next, of course could choose to try again and again if it was for the perfect ending in the future. Ming Zhengde had endless capital, and giving up once to pave the way for the next time was not a strange choice.

But… rebellion could not only look at the next time.

Every time.

Every rebellion was very important!

"Ming Zhengde, my rebellion is not for victory, my rebellion is for rebellion, just like when facing a mistake, the first thing you should think about is not what the answer is, but to question it—I cannot sit idly by."

"Moreover, who said we failed? I naturally have my own methods to let you build the grand formation with peace of mind."

Standing on the high beacon tower, Su Zhou said in a low voice.
