Chapter 514 Two Origins, One Body; Dragon and Bird, One Family Since Ancient Times (5600, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Bai Yingxue's understanding of the Phoenix inheritance wasn't very deep.

To be precise, her understanding of the Phoenix inheritance from the great existence, [Perfection], wasn't very deep.

In her previous life, Bai Yingxue was indeed the Xuan Shui Shenghuang (Profound Water Divine Phoenix), wielding the power of Xuanming Black Virtue, and was undoubtedly the holder of the top quasi-Dao inheritance of the Zheng (Upright) Kingdom's Divine Bird lineage.

However, the complexity of the true 'Phoenix' inheritance, which was 'complete with all Five Virtues,' was five times that of the 'Xuan Shui Shenghuang.'

Furthermore, the 'Pishi Wude Fenghuang Zhenshen (Genesis Five Virtues Phoenix True Body)' originating from the great existence, represented 'the operation of all things' and 'the creation of heaven and earth' – and the five colors and five virtues derived from these were several times more complex than an ordinary Five Virtues Phoenix True Body.

In other words, even if Bai Yingxue had completely mastered the Xuan Shui Shenghuang inheritance, she could only understand about one-tenth of the Pishi Wude Phoenix inheritance. Gathering these inheritances together and governing them as a single main true body was a hundred or a thousand times more complex and difficult, enough to burn out Bai Yingxue's brain.

However, even so, with just this small part of her understanding, Su Zhou learned a lot from Bai Yingxue about the Divine Bird lineage of inheritance.

"If the key points of the True Dragon lineage lie in 'scales,' 'spine,' and 'horns,' with perhaps 'eyes' added at most."

"Then, the key points of the Divine Bird lineage lie in 'feathers,' 'eyes,' 'claws,' and 'beak.'"

Unlike Su Zhou, who was accustomed to free assembly and didn't 'imitate' at all, but simply did what was convenient for his 'pseudo quasi-Dao' cultivation, Bai Yingxue, as a true and proper quasi-Dao cultivator with a formal education, had her own unique understanding of deconstructing the true body.

"Over the past week, I've only barely entered the door of the Pishi Wude Phoenix True Body, but I've indeed gained a lot of insights. At least, I can gradually transform the original 'Cangming Zhenyu (Vast Profound True Feather)' of the 'Xuan Shui Shenghuang' into the 'Tianyun Wude Shenyu (Heavenly Fortune Five Virtues Divine Feather).'"

Although Bai Yingxue hadn't fully mastered the inheritance yet, teaching Su Zhou a few special methods for cultivating spiritual power organs wasn't a problem.

It didn't take long for Su Zhou, with the special nature of the 'Wuding Zhenshen (Formless True Body)' and his past experience, to roughly learn the key to the 'Tianyun Wude Shenyu' under the girl's generous instruction.

As for why Su Zhou had experience…

It was actually very simple.

The 'Undying Scales' covering the Zhuzhou True Body were originally based on the 'Five Spirit Colored Scales' on Su Zhou's heart.

And the Five Spirit Colored Scales originated from the 'Five Spirit Colored Feathers' in the Peacock inheritance of the Beast God Realm.

Although Su Zhou had modified and improved his scales many times since then, and it was now at least version 6.78C, with new features such as self-explosion, flight, and automatic tracking, the foundation of his scales was indeed built on the feathers of Divine Birds.

What's more…

"The ancestors of birds are also a type of dinosaur."

"As everyone knows, in ancient times, there were dinosaurs with feathers."

"With a little demonstration, one can learn this – snakes are reptiles, dinosaurs are also reptiles, and the ancestors of birds are also reptiles. In other words, snakes are dragons, and dinosaurs are dragons."

"Naturally, birds are also dragons!"

To the snake spirit who was starting to sulk, Su Zhou righteously defended himself in the soul space: "Yala, you thought I was going to betray the Dragon Snake and become a Divine Bird? Wrong!"

"As the saying goes, the two paths have the same origin, and the Dragon and Bird have been one family since ancient times. Today, I, Su Zhou, am here to rectify the source, trace it back to its origin, transform birds into dragons, and let everyone know that Divine Birds are Divine Dragons!"

If he had to say so, it wouldn't be a lie.

At least with the magic of the Wuding Zhenshen, if Su Zhou really replaced all his scales with divine feathers, then he could easily complete the most basic 'Zhuzhou · Divine Bird Form 0.1 Beta'.

Of course, this kind of talk couldn't convince Yala, but Yala wasn't really angry, she was mainly a little worried.

"Your idea is not bad."

The snake spirit commented fairly: "But with only feathers, you can't imitate Divine Birds. The perfect Primordial World will definitely have many truly powerful Divine Birds. If you reveal even a little flaw, your essence will definitely be quickly detected."

"I don't know what will happen then."

Su Zhou wasn't worried at all, he shrugged and said, "It's okay, Li Hanshan, the student I'm leading, has already started cultivating the Wuding Zhenshen. In a few days, I'll be able to get information about the Chongming Bird's inheritance."

"The Chongming Bird is also a descendant of the Phoenix, and it has a very high compatibility rate with Phoenix feathers. When that time comes, I can pretend to be a Chongming Bird who has awakened the Phoenix bloodline and it won't be a problem."

The young man's preparations were indeed very thorough. Recently, he had been seriously considering the related aspects of disguise.

Since that was the case, Yala wouldn't care too much.

She was even a little expectant in her heart.

"Heh, if this kid Su Zhou really uses this disguised Divine Bird to go to Perfection's territory and beat up all his Divine Bird dependents..."

Thinking of this scene, the snake spirit even laughed and couldn't wait to see Su Zhou go to the Primordial World.

As for Bai Yingxue.

After Su Zhou performed the divine skill of 'Transforming Scales into Feathers' on the spot, she fell into a daze again.

"Ah, this…"

The girl looked at the feathers and scales on Su Zhou's arm that could be freely converted in shock, and couldn't help rubbing her eyes, then trembling, she said, "This, this is the Wuding Zhenshen?!"

"Its effects are so powerful!"

It must be said that as a former immortal, Bai Yingxue had seen a lot in her life, and was inherently difficult to stun into shock.

When she hunted the Mother Nest, she didn't even blink her eyes, and her actions were smooth and uninterrupted, which could serve as proof.

But more obviously, Su Zhou's existence was completely beyond the scope of her rational thinking – seeing what he did, few people in this world would be serious.

"It's about like that. I've left the cultivation method of the modularized true body for you. If you want to learn it, feel free to do so. If you want to help spread it, that would be even better."

"If there are any problems, send a message directly to my personal terminal. I'll answer them when I have time."

"By the way, don't ask 'Are you there?' Just leave the question, and I'll answer it when I see it."

Because he still had things to do, Su Zhou directly bid farewell and left after leaving the cultivation method of the modularized true body.

And Bai Yingxue, who was left in place, didn't react from her confusion until five minutes later, and took the inheritance classics placed on the table in a daze.

This kind of inheritance method, which was at least at the Great Heavenly Venerate level, was given away by the youth as casually as a promotional brochure on the roadside.

"Birds are also dragons…"

She stared at the cover of the Wuding Zhenshen, and Bai Yingxue's expression was initially full of confusion, bewilderment, and incredulity.

But then, the girl's mind was filled with Su Zhou's incomparably powerful strength in this life, and his ability to freely transform spiritual power organs.

She recalled what Tang Yuan had once said, 'The existence of Minister Su can lead this world to become better.'

——Indeed... this world is much better than the previous life, and the source of all this comes from Su Zhou's changes.

And Su Zhou's incomparably powerful Zhuzhou True Body may have come from this secret book.

Thinking like this, the girl's eyes gradually became firm.

"Birds are also dragons!"

She said with certainty.

Then, she opened the cover.

Just as Bai Yingxue, whose trajectory was originally fixed for various reasons, stepped out, detached from the original 'Divine Bird Path,' and headed towards a new, chaotic, and unclear path and future.

A diplomatic conference regarding the Cenosystia civilization was also being held at this time.

When Su Zhou arrived at the conference site in the illusion, Ambassador Tain the Seer had already finished the previous topic regarding the initial establishment of diplomatic relations with the Earth civilization and was explaining the current situation in the galaxy.

[The Silent Era has ended. All civilizations that have been forced to remain silent will speak again.]

Now, Tain's appearance was no longer the original tungsten steel giant of more than ten meters.

In order to imitate humans and integrate into the human collective, the Cenosystians, who didn't have gender distinctions, changed their bodies, transforming into a silver-haired man with a rather androgynous appearance, as a form of communication for daily meetings and conversations with humans.

Tain, who had already learned the meaning of some human expressions, was now speaking through a translator. The silver-haired man solemnly declared to everyone present: [All dormant civilizations will return from the shining world, or awaken from the dormant dark realms.]

[According to our Cenosystian intelligence, the 'United as One' will awaken from their hidden nest planets, and the spiritual power universe hive will once again traverse the stars.]

[And the 'Star-End Cluster,' which is self-enclosed in a spiritual power cycle, will also reappear. Although these intelligent machine clusters are harmless, they are equally troublesome to negotiate with.]

Saying this, the ambassador showed the Earthlings the future galactic landscape, and he solemnly reiterated: [We Cenosystians, who consider ourselves guardians of the holy land, will naturally return to our original territory after the end of the Silent Era.]

[We will retrieve the lost holy lands and forbidden areas one by one, and guard them strictly.]

[The Silent Era is over – the great powers will re-divide the galaxy's territory. Earth civilization, in the past you chose to entertain yourselves, but if you want to leave this star field now, you must start preparing to build outposts to determine your territory.]

Tain's words did indeed cause the representatives of various countries present to discuss them.

Indeed, with the revival of spiritual energy and the end of the Silent Era, if the remaining galactic superpowers reappeared, they would inevitably take this opportunity to re-divide the territory and set as many high-quality territories as possible for themselves.

Although Earth civilization wasn't lacking in high-quality territory and didn't need to compete with other civilizations for the scarce strategic star fields between the stars... developing space technology was one of the directions that led a civilization forward, and it couldn't be abandoned.

And since space technology was developed, why not build a few outposts to prove its strength?

Su Zhou wasn't particularly concerned about this... after all, the current Earth didn't even have a unified alliance. Although the United Nations could coordinate most situations, it didn't have much authority in terms of space development.

Su Zhou wasn't a great scientist or a political leader. As an amateur, he wouldn't pretend to be an expert and forcibly manage this aspect of things.

Compared to these, removing some of the hidden dangers within the Earth was something that Su Zhou was very good at.

Recently, under the pressure Su Zhou gave during his tour around the world, major forces around the world had launched purges against some of the cancers within them.

For example, those arms dealers and war profiteers who made profits by creating conflicts around the world, as well as all kinds of people who incited conflicts between various groups and classes, launching people's struggles against each other, and selling anxiety, were all exposed and put on trial one after another.

And this purge didn't even cause much turbulence. Many people even wiped away cold sweat with relief when they were approached, because in this way, at least they didn't have to turn themselves in or wait for Su Zhou to take action.

[——If the law cannot uphold justice, then I will personally take action and conduct the trial.]

These were Su Zhou's original words.

And the results of his actions were very clear to astronomical telescopes and various Jupiter satellites.

Everyone could clearly see the increasingly violent geological changes on the surface of Jupiter's moon, Io. The videos recorded by the Leaplight号 at close range could even tell everyone the consequences of Su Zhou's serious actions in the most direct and clearest way.

That was a terrifying power that would cause almost permanent changes to the surface of the planet.

If that kind of attack appeared on Earth, it would be enough to destroy several small countries and easily kill tens of millions of people in a 'doomsday-level' attack!

After this existence said, 'I want peace' and 'Those who are not peaceful will be made peaceful by me,' then there was only one answer – everyone would be peaceful.

And the existences he said he wanted to eradicate would better jump out and obediently accept judgment, otherwise, the ending would only be more miserable.

Su Zhou wasn't a professional scientist or politician. He didn't understand the development trends of the most cutting-edge technologies, nor did he understand the international situation. He wouldn't blindly preside over any matters in this regard.

However, the young man's power could provide the best motivation, environment, and background for 'better reforms' and 'better innovations' as a foundation.

And it was in this context that after talking with Tain, the ambassador of the Cenosystia civilization, a new space exploration plan was proposed and passed at the first time at a later meeting of the United Nations.

The construction plan for the lunar base and the lunar mass accelerator was also put on the agenda.

This was the first step for the Earth civilization to officially advance into the universe – after all, compared to Earth, the lower gravity of the moon was more suitable as a spaceport.

In addition to these, there were other good news.

According to Kotarren and K-Kohl, the ambassadors of the Tarin and Krolo civilizations were already on their way.

The Cenosystia civilization's exploration ship had indeed communicated with these two civilizations, and the levels of the two sides were naturally very clear – and the Earth civilization, which was equally discussed with the Cenosystia civilization, had already been equated with the future superpowers in their hearts. Their diplomatic mission was coming with the highest etiquette, preparing to pay homage to the human side.

Unlike the Cenosystia civilization, which was good at implants and whose technology was difficult for the Earth civilization to absorb, the technology of these two civilizations, which originated from the former Enterprise Alliance, was very similar to the Earth's system, at least within the scope that could be understood and restored for use.

At that time, with the support of these two civilizations, the Earth humans, who already had relevant materials science and engineering design skills, would definitely be able to move towards the stars at the fastest speed.

"All good things."

After resolving the affairs of Bai Yingxue and the Cenosystia civilization, Su Zhou, who had left the illusion conference space, refocused his attention on the 'Global Arena' that he had initially planned.

As a plan to stimulate the internal vitality of human society, promote formal competition and challenges among cultivators, and put the development of cultivation on the right track, the 'Global Arena' had now received the support of major countries around the world, and various competitive variety shows covered all aspects of society.

And various rankings such as [Top Ten Global Powerhouses], [Top 100 Young Generation in Zheng (Upright) Kingdom's Superordinary Realm], and [Top 20 in Global Vocal Music Path] were, in addition to promoting the original competitive desire in people's hearts, also a list.

It could clearly inform people who the powerhouses in various fields of humanity were, and what their levels were, and how big the gap would be if they wanted to catch up.

"This person can also enter the list?! Why can't I!"

"The people on the list are so strong? It seems that I still need to continue to work hard in this area!"

When seeing the list, people's thoughts were roughly these two types.

Many people in this world give up on progress, not because they don't work hard, but because they can't find a goal and progress for their efforts – clear lists and rankings can help these confused people find the right direction.

Coupled with the 'Cultivator Extreme World Record' created by Zhuzhao Group and Rainbow Group, it could record all kinds of human extreme records and prepare standards for future innovations.

Of course, there would definitely be some people who hide themselves and don't participate in competitive competition, but those people were destined to be the minority. Hidden masters were just a popular legend among the masses, just like Su Zhou, as the Earth's number one person on the surface, was really the Earth's number one person.

"Not bad, Qiming is really amazing. I haven't even taken action much, and the plan has already gone so smoothly."

On the way from Nanling to Tiandu, Su Zhou, who transformed into a stream of light and flew in the upper atmosphere, sensed the meaning of 'striving forward' that was faintly coming from the entire Earth, and couldn't help but smile.

In the eyes of the young man, the thoughts of the humane sentient beings were like stars, gathering into 'headless dragon-serpents' one after another on the blue planet.

Although it was still just 'competition' and 'striving forward,' and far from 'progress' and 'innovation.'

And the image formed by the gathering of thoughts was far from the most ideal form of 'Dragon of the Humane Torrent' and 'Dragon of Eternal Innovation.'

But everything was moving in a good direction.

Seeing this scene made Su Zhou extremely gratified, and also made him more convinced that his path was 'correct' and feasible.

This was especially important for the current youth.

"Now, those fish should have surfaced quite a bit."

Retracting his gaze, Su Zhou had already begun to prepare to decelerate, return to the atmosphere, and land in Tiandu.

And during the deceleration process, he muttered to himself: "Bai Yingxue herself also said that if she hadn't been discovered, she would have planned to participate in the competition – if she has this idea, then many other possible fish will definitely be caught."

"Qiming should have collected a lot of lists, most of them are descendants of the Heavenly Gods and people with ulterior motives. When the time comes, I will personally lead the team to catch a batch, and the Earth's safety index will increase by at least a dozen percentage points."

"Su Zhou ah."

However, after hearing the young man's muttering, the snake spirit suddenly opened his mouth, and he said with a rather meaningful tone: "Your childhood friend is indeed a talent... but you should know his recent choices and actions, right?"

"Yes, I know."

Yala's words had a profound meaning.

Su Zhou replied calmly: "Of course I know – Qiming chose the Path of the Divine Tree."

At this time, he was turning into a meteor, falling towards the city below. The young man allowed the gust of wind to pass by him, his expression extremely calm: "After all, I've been with the Tree of Wisdom day and night, and I've also personally seen the aura of the Great Dao Tree. How could I not know about Qiming's choice? It's just that I didn't say it before, after all, the Path of the Divine Tree is also a righteous path, and the Great Dao Tree and Yala, your relationship seems to be very good."

Speaking of this, Su Zhou couldn't help but sigh lightly, but soon, his tone turned firm: "Of course, I must also admit that I was just subconsciously ignoring it and pretending there was no problem before."

"Fortunately, because of Bai Yingxue and Perfection, I've recently figured out a lot of problems – I might have pretended not to see it in the past, but not now."

"Today, I'm going there to be open and honest with him and talk about this."

There is actually a lot more after today, but I estimate that I can't finish writing it, so I'll put the first paragraph first.

There will probably be a big chapter tomorrow, so please give me your monthly tickets first!
