Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 3 The Meaning of the Strong

Chapter 571 The Meaning of the Strong, Part 1

The so-called portable Transmission Tower refers to a modernized, miniaturized model imbued with a wisp of the Transmission Tower's spirit. It's held by Lady Mi Luo herself, acting as an intermediary device to maintain the connection between her and the Transmission Tower, essentially a temporary terminal.

As a living fossil who has truly survived since the age of immortals and gods, and possessing authority over the Myriad Wonders Transmission Tower, Lady Mi Luo is the most erudite individual in the world today. Having her assess Su Zhou's current situation is undoubtedly the most suitable course of action.

Within a massive crater, likely formed by an ancient battle between immortals and gods, a gigantic silver-gray coffin lay silently. It was as majestic as a mountain, and the spiritual patterns floating on its surface seemed to be alive, shining and glowing with the surrounding spiritual energy fluctuations, as if breathing.

On one side, nine massive dragon纹 (wén - patterns) were vibrant, while on the other, five phoenix patterns embodying the five colors of Zhú Zhòu were equally spirited. They transformed into five-colored divine light, forming a honeycomb-like grid shield that repelled all who attempted to approach.

No one has yet tested the defensive capabilities of this grid shield, and few would be foolish enough to try. Setting aside the fact that, apart from artifacts left behind by immortals and gods, Earth likely doesn't possess weapons capable of breaching this shield, even if someone did manage to break through, wouldn't those nine dragon纹 (wén - patterns), which seemed like some kind of countermeasure, be more than just decorative?

No one was that stupid.

[Su Zhou is indeed seriously injured.]

As the spirit of the Myriad Wonders Transmission Tower, Lady Mi Luo's life form and essence are far superior to those of the Holy Seats and other Earthly powerhouses who haven't reached the Earth Immortal or Celestial Immortal realms.

She reached out her hand, and a layer of misty, cyan-gray light dust illuminated her entire being. Each speck of light dust was a rune at the micro-scale. Upon touching the Five Virtues Divine Light, these runes began to simulate it spontaneously, allowing Lady Mi Luo to merge with the entire barrier and pass through it with ease.

—Back when the Phoenix lineage hadn't yet been severed, there were also phoenix immortals and gods of the Mimicry Dao who left behind fragments related to phoenix divine abilities.

Thanks to this, Lady Mi Luo is currently the only being on Earth capable of approaching Su Zhou.

Everyone else present could only watch from afar, observing as she moved closer to observe Su Zhou.

And the result was quickly revealed.

[It's a Dao Injury!]

At this moment, having confirmed this, even Lady Mi Luo couldn't help but be shocked: [It's actually a Dao Injury!]

The essence of a super-life is that there is almost no distinction between 'life and death'.

Naturally born beings naturally possess 'birth and death'. Even the most powerful beings born at the beginning of the world, if they haven't undergone self-sublimation, will see their mission end and fall into silence at the end of the world's creation.

But super-lives like the Eternal Celestial Immortals are sublimated after birth, so they have neither birth nor death.

Their life forms are varied and diverse, but the key point is 'imperishability'.

A single spark of spiritual power can entrust thoughts, a single divine ability can evolve into the original spirit.

They don't need to abide by the common sense of natural life, they don't need proteins, genes, brains, and other important organs of carbon-based life, they don't even need central laws, or physical bodies.

Without destroying all of a Celestial Immortal's sects and dojos, without obliterating all of their surviving inheritance imprints, then the Celestial Immortal can return—even a drop of blood, a strand of hair, a book hand-written by them with care can serve as a seed for resurrection, at most losing some memories.

Of course, the waiting time for resurrection depends on luck, which is the so-called 'opportunity'.

In short, if such a super-life were to 'die', then the injury they suffered must be profound, reaching into the 'Dao', a serious injury that can destroy the essence of their life.

If it's an elemental life, annihilate the elements. If they cultivate the nascent soul technique, cause the nascent soul to self-destruct. If they are heart-cultivating cultivators, break their heart cultivation.

Just like what Su Zhou is suffering now—Lady Mi Luo can sense that the various spiritual factors and spiritual power structures within Su Zhou are constantly self-aggregating, with all the information they harbor being worn away.

A large amount of spiritual power belonging to Su Zhou is being directly obliterated and assimilated by an extremely terrifying force, turning into blank, unowned spiritual power that cannot carry Su Zhou's thoughts and memories—just like the information contained in all the matter in a black hole is almost completely erased.

This is one of the most powerful Dao injury methods.

[This technique...]

After sensing this, although Lady Mi Luo had been shocked many times, she was once again shaken.

Su Zhou's advancement to Celestial Immortal was already outrageous enough.

But what kind of existence could defeat Su Zhou, who had already advanced to Celestial Immortal, causing him to fall into a serious injury that required him to self-seal himself in a coffin to recuperate?

[It's the Great Heavenly Lord—even a Heavenly Emperor-level cultivation method!]

[A Heavenly Emperor attacked Su Zhou, severely injuring him!]

This conclusion caused an uproar.

"Heavenly Emperor?! Where did a Heavenly Emperor-level figure come from in this universe?!"

"A peak Ω-level Esper? How is that possible..."

"No, the most astonishing thing should be that Su Zhou survived a 'Great Divine Master' level attack and actually came back alive, right?"

Not only the Holy Seats of Zheng Nation, but even the alien ambassadors and powerhouses of other forces were also suspicious and uncertain.

No one would doubt Lady Mi Luo's words, because there was no need to lie on this point, and as someone who often met the former Heavenly Emperor, all the people present combined were not as knowledgeable as her about the characteristics of Heavenly Emperor-level cultivation methods.

Compared to those who didn't know what Su Zhou had been doing for the past eight months, the Holy Seats of Zheng Nation felt even more shocked and worried.

—Su Zhou's exploration of another world actually provoked a Heavenly Emperor?

Although, the Lord of Jiu Li of Qingqiu Star, His Majesty the God of War, could also be considered a Heavenly Emperor-level figure. In a sense, Su Zhou should have provoked him first.

But setting aside the fact that he is also one of the ancestors of Earth's humans, essentially a big shot who failed in a political struggle and was imprisoned, not a pure enemy—they are not worthy—the Lord of Jiu Li is properly sealed.

In the past six months, at least fifteen professional teams have gone to Qingqiu Star for exploration, and used the various devices left by the Heavenly Devils to coordinate the entire planet's spiritual energy field to strengthen the seal. It is basically impossible for him to come out.

And the other world that Su Zhou went to... actually has this Heavenly Emperor, which means that in terms of high-end force, the other side completely crushes the current Earth civilization.

—And Su Zhou was able to come back alive! And he broke through to the Celestial Immortal in that world, provoked the Heavenly Emperor, and then came back!

This alone made everyone deeply respectful.

During the eight months of Su Zhou's departure, Earth civilization has exchanged information with many other cosmic civilizations, including the Therastrian civilization.

Now, not only in the Milky Way, but throughout the observable universe, apart from some ancient cosmic super-lives that used to slumber in the central regions of star systems, in the accretion disks of supermassive black holes, there are no 'new' Eternal Celestial Immortals.

Perhaps, some ancient creatures have awakened from slumber, and their strength is extremely powerful, but most of these powerful lives went to other worlds through the great rifts outside the realms before the spiritual energy was cut off, just like the immortal and god civilizations.

And most of the Ω-level Espers of the Therastrians fell in the 'Rebellion' war that once revolved around the Galaxy Star. To ensure the continuation of the living planet and to protect the Galaxy Star from possible rebels, this Galactic Upper Kingdom has exhausted all of their heritage.

[The one who injured Su Zhou is actually such a powerful existence...]

Hurrying over from the Americas overnight, Seer Tain was almost shocked out of his human mimicry after observing Su Zhou's current state.

Through the message publicly transmitted by Lady Mi Luo, he sensed the aura of the 'Dao Injury' emanating from Su Zhou, and as the child of the planet, inheriting most of the memories of the former Therastrian civilization members, Tain immediately frowned, even showing a grim expression.

Because, he recognized the identity of the one who created this Dao injury!

[This aura... is the aura of the otherworldy evil god 'Perfection'! And it's so thick... almost reaching the extreme of the evil god's眷族 (juànzú - family/dependents)!]

The Galaxy Star can open a channel connecting the present world and the otherworld.

Because this channel directly connects to the other side of the Great Seal, various great existences will attempt to obtain the opportunity to escape the seal through this channel.

To protect their civilization's holy relic, and to resist these enemies invading from the other side, the Therastrians have been fighting with the眷族 (juànzú - family/dependents) of many great existences.

The眷族 (juànzú - family/dependents) of Perfection, more or less, have also appeared on the Therastrian battlefield—and all the otherworldy evil gods are the mortal enemies of the Therastrians.

If the Earthlings had provoked a powerhouse from another alien civilization, then the Therastrians might have remained neutral, but the one who fought Su Zhou was an evil god's眷族 (juànzú - family/dependents).

Then, even if the enemy might be an Ω-level Esper, Seer Tain only had one course of action left.

[We must immediately notify the Council of Elders.]

[The otherworldy evil gods have begun to become active, we must speed up the detection of the many seal nodes sealed in the past!]

"What kind of days does Minister usually live... that he can even provoke a Heavenly Emperor from another world..."

At this moment, Tang Yuan, representing the New World Exploration Department and accompanying the group, followed behind Holy Li. He looked from afar at his superior's coffin, which was probably larger than the entire Nanling New World Exploration Department, and couldn't help but mutter to himself: "As expected of Minister!"

"However, I originally thought that Minister's exploration of other worlds was as easy as a vacation, leaving me alone to handle the paperwork... Now it seems that I was shallow."

Thinking this, he couldn't help but clench his fist secretly, cheering himself on: "Sure enough, I'm not working hard enough... I have to cultivate Bai Yingxue as my successor as soon as possible, and I will cultivate hard and strive to catch up with Minister!"

Not to mention what Bai Yingxue, who is currently left in Nanling to handle paperwork, thinks.

After figuring out the current situation, the content of the meeting quickly turned to 'how to awaken' Su Zhou now.

At the same time, just as the people outside were brainstorming and thinking about how to get Su Zhou to wake up as soon as possible and tell them about his experiences in another world.

In the personal space.

Late at night.

The Heavenly Demon Teng She's soul, still looking bewildered, was still wandering around the lush green land of the personal space in a daze.

[Where... where did I end up?]

In the beginning, Teng She, who entered Su Zhou's personal space, could still sense the Heavenly Yuan World and even the Void Sea by virtue of its Celestial Immortal-level life essence.

It was precisely because of this that it could burn its soul to transmit information and notify the many Heavenly Demons of the arrival of the Dragon, the co-ruler of the demon race.

As for the personal space, Teng She's view was actually a small-scale 'Immortal Heaven Nine Nether', an independent small world created by a powerhouse.

As the holder of the True Dragon's blood, it was not surprising that Zhú Zhòu had such a personal space.

But now, it was completely at a loss.

[Have I left the Void Sea and come to the other side of the 'Sea', the end of the realms?]

As a creature derived from the remnants of the primordial True Dragon, born to wander in the Void Sea, Teng She still knew about the 'Myriad Worlds'—including the Immortal Heaven Nine Nether, the entire Heavenly Yuan Great World was just one of the myriad stars outside the Void Sea.

However, if one does not become a Heavenly Emperor, it is basically impossible to see the scenery of the other side.

And if one becomes a Heavenly Emperor, then why not pursue Nirvana Tears? You must know that the myriad stars in the void are not all bright and dazzling. Most of the worlds are extremely dim, and the area around the Heavenly Yuan Great World is pitch black, with basically no worlds of value.

Instead of exploring those worlds, it is better to seize the opportunity to create one's own perfect world.

Teng She never thought it would reach outside the Heavenly Yuan World.

But who knew, just after being a prisoner of Zhú Zhòu for a while and watching his live broadcast of the battle with the immortals and gods, it was in a daze... it left its hometown?!

[This is too strange!]

To be honest, Teng She wasn't too sad or worried, after all, trying to make a Heavenly Demon have many sad emotions sounded like a joke.

Moreover, as someone who watched all of Su Zhou's battle live broadcasts, it knew better than anyone that the Heavenly Demon's two biggest enemies, the Grand Azure God Emperor and the Grand Desire Heavenly Demon Lord, had all been introduced by Zhú Zhòu into the Land of Return, and would be difficult to return to the Heavenly Yuan World in the long run.

And the Heavenly Demon was rejected by the Nirvana Tears, so it was the best-preserved one!

Although the immortals and gods of the Immortal Heaven and the Nine Nether demons still exist, in this way, there is no essential difference in the strength comparison above. Unless the Immortal Heaven produces another God Emperor and the Nine Nether comes another Demon Lord, the Heavenly Demon's situation will be much better.

Compared to this problem, Teng She was more curious about what kind of existence Zhú Zhòu was.

It can be a dragon, it can also be a bird, and it can even transform into such a huge coffin...

Such a mysterious and powerful existence has indeed infinite potential in the future, and it is completely acceptable to continue to follow and witness it.

But Teng She also knew very well that Su Zhou had taken a blow from the Grand Azure God Emperor's Heavenly Star Union Dao—the God Emperor's full blow was something even the Heavenly Demon was unwilling to take head-on. It was an attack that could obliterate their immortal essence. Although Zhú Zhòu seemed to have a much higher purity of undying blood than them, could undying blood alone resist the God Emperor's fundamental divine power?

Could Zhú Zhòu survive this?

It thought so, then raised its head and looked at the Rebirth Divine Tree, which stood in the center of the entire personal space, high at the top of the sky.

The light of the Tree of Wisdom has been shining since Zhú Zhòu fell asleep. The overly bright light illuminated the entire world, covering everything with a layer of cyan-white veil.

Abnormal, but beautiful.

As the holder of the personal space, Su Zhou's state naturally affects the state of the small world.

Now, the entire small world is silent, with the light completely provided by the Tree of Wisdom... Teng She can naturally diverge and guess that Su Zhou is already dying at this moment, about to merge with the Dao and die.

But when the despairing silence reaches the end, it is the beginning of hopeful Nirvana.

At this moment.

At the edge of the ocean in the personal space, accompanied by a clang of a knife, dawn appeared.

The halo of the fire elemental sun penetrated the tumbling seawater and clouds, illuminating the sky and earth.

The soft red light on the other side of the sky intertwined with the cyan-white light from the Tree of Wisdom. The fierce wind howled between the sky and the earth. It stirred the clouds, brought rain, and lightning intertwined within it. Endless rain fell from the sky, sprinkling on the earth, nourishing the land and bringing vitality, causing vegetation to sprout.

The vast sea, the vast field, the dense forest, the iron mountains, and the bright sun.

The fierce wind howling at the top of the sky, the lightning leaping out of the clouds on the edge of the cliff.

The true meaning of the five elements rotating is emerging in this world.

Completely different from what Teng She felt when it first came to this personal space, if the Heavenly Demon didn't know the original appearance of this small world and that its size was indeed small, it might really think that this was a real world.

Now, the silence has reached its extreme, and vitality arises spontaneously.

So, it heard a soft voice.

"The time has come."

This voice seemed to be uttered by the Tree of Wisdom. It was meaningful, and the Heavenly Demon didn't understand for a moment what time had come.

But soon, accompanied by the sound of grass and trees breaking through the soil, Teng She, which was instantly surrounded and entangled by a large area of ​​madly growing grass and trees in an instant, was horrified to find that the barren wilderness where it was originally located had turned into an endless grassland in an instant!

All the grass and trees in these grasslands have all kinds of terrifying thorns and barbs, and the edges of the leaves and the tips of the needles are exuding terrifying black and purple poisonous gas... and these poisonous thorns that make people and even demon gods fear are all stabbing towards the bewildered Teng She's soul!

[What, what exactly are these things?!]

It took a lot of effort to break free from those spiritual grass and trees—not a joke, Teng She really felt the terror of death just now. It could completely imagine that if it hadn't run out in the first place, then its soul body would have been completely captured and devoured by that group of various spiritual grasses that looked unusual and had hideous faces!

Faintly, it could hear the clear and innocent laughter of many grass and tree spirits coming from behind these terrifying grass and trees.

[Why do these spiritual grasses contain such a strong evil spirit of resentment?! And where did they come from?!]

[Speaking of which, this is simply a carnivorous plant!]

Naturally, no one heard the Heavenly Demon's surprised and angry voice.

Even Sara, who was cooperating with the Tree of Wisdom and spreading 'World Dust' fertilizer throughout the personal space, did not notice the little Heavenly Demon's complaints.

Where did these plants come from?

The answer is simple.

Those are the 'Seeds of Evil Souls' planted by the Tree of Wisdom.

And now, as the 'opportunity' has arrived, they have all taken root and sprouted.

Outside.

Lunar crater.

The night sky full of stars is still magnificent, and the dark and deep universe is still calm.

However, the huge metal coffin suddenly lit up with light.

Under the surprised and tense gaze of everyone, the huge coffin lying on the gray moon surface reversed gravity and slowly stood upright.

The upright coffin was like a towering giant monument, and countless spiritual lights moved without wind, shining on its surface, and a layer of hazy phantoms emerged.

"What's happening?" Many such puzzled voices sounded.

But everything was just a natural thing.

Since Su Zhou left the Perfect World and accepted the blessing of the Great Existence, he, who was seriously injured, had a dream.

A dream that spanned myriad worlds, making him seem to know his legends in multiple worlds, knowing how the name of Zhú Zhòu spread in the multiverse.

In the dream, with each world he had experienced as the origin, and contact with each great existence as the first driving force.

Endless legends began to emerge, flashing in the young man's mind like phantoms.

Countless Zhú Zhòu, countless Su Zhou's figures, with different characteristics and different appearances.

—The ancient divine dragon came out of Kunlun and assisted the human emperor to pacify the world and sever the connection between heaven and earth.

—The dragon that ends the world and opens the world guards the key to reincarnation. Only those who give up some hope and pass the underworld test can know the truth behind reincarnation.

—The Celestial God who shelters Qingqiu grants prayers. As long as you can go deep into the secret realm, pass the test of the celestial foxes, and see his true face, you can make a wish that is not too excessive.

—The non-dragon and non-phoenix God of West Mountain is associated with the divine tree. His voice is like the sound of a knife, and his aura rushes to the sky. When he appears, the world changes, and when he hides, the world is peaceful. He is an unparalleled auspicious omen.

—There is a god in the Southern Wilderness, named Zhú Zhòu, with a dragon head and white wings, who can discern people's hearts, feeds on wind and eats fire, and eats thunder in the rain. He does not live in non-wise trees, and when he is seen, he is intelligent, making people incorruptible, and his scales can ward off evil.

In each world, in each epic myth that is sung, that one name emerges.

Although not every world, not every piece of history has his appearance, it is precisely because of this that for those who can travel the world, Zhú Zhòu's existence is so mysterious and so confusing.

And beyond these legends, there are more obvious phantoms flashing.

Under the phantoms of many huge dragons and divine birds, there are many shadows that are small but have no less imposing manner, rising and falling.

A Su Zhou wears ancient general armor and holds a spear in his hand. He seems to be fighting **** battles on a battlefield, but his face is indifferent and cold, indifferent and ruthless.

A Su Zhou wears a lab coat. He wears glasses and is squinting his eyes, scanning the lab report.

A Su Zhou is now transforming into his true form, and his true form is neither a dragon nor a phoenix, but a ferocious tiger, and the aura of the Five Calamities and Punishments is overflowing.

A Su Zhou looks like an ordinary person. He wears a somewhat worn leather coat, but carries all kinds of exorcism props, holy water, crucifixes, peach wood swords, and talismans. He looks tired, but his eyes are firm, and he seems to be performing some task.

A Su Zhou has a gloomy face. His hands are covered in blood, and he seems to be contemplating, and fierce light flashes in his eyes.

And in these phantoms, in these possibilities, there is a golden light that is leading Su Zhou through them.

"What do you want to do, Perfection?"

The youth's will asked in a low voice. He could sense that Perfection's power did suppress the Dao injury brought to him by the Grand Azure God Emperor, but that was just an incidental effect.

That was some kind of inheritance trial, some kind of power aftermath.

[Let you witness all of this.]

And the compassionate voice murmured softly: [Then ask your own heart.]

At this moment, the aura originating from the Great Existence [Perfection] combined with the [Reincarnation Seal] that Su Zhou himself possessed, allowing him to see countless possibilities rotating in the dream during his slumber.

These possibilities, some are happy, some are sad, some are desperate, some are joyful.

Whether it is Zhú Zhòu or Su Zhou, all existences originating from 'Su Zhou', from a human perspective, in the endless multiverse, in the endless parallel timelines, the chances of their 'happiness' and 'misery' are 'half and half'.

And [Perfection] intends to redeem that 'miserable' half.

So, at this moment.

Su Zhou saw the life that he would have lived if he had not met Yala.

Big chapter, it seems that I can't finish writing it today, upload half first, and write it slowly.

Recommend a book, 《人发杀机天地反覆》, a friend's book, refreshing and good-looking!
