Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 2 Hoping the World Becomes a Better Place (Large Chapter with W Words)
In short, when Su Zhou bluntly spoke of the end of the world, the illusionary conference room fell silent.
All the gazes of the Holy Seats, whether dazed or puzzled, filled the space for a time. The powerful mental fluctuations of many strong transcendents even stirred up a storm. Even this mental illusion space, specially used to temporarily gather all the Holy Seats, almost collapsed in this huge wave.
No one spoke in the conference room. But in the private channels between the Holy Seats, all kinds of brief exchanges and inquiries were extremely noisy.
"Is Su Zhou being serious?!"
"The world, the universe destroyed?"
"Although theoretically he can't lie, this really doesn't seem like something that could actually happen... it's too ethereal."
Some of the Holy Seats were simply wondering about the truth of the matter. On the one hand, they felt it was nonsense, but on the other hand, because of Su Zhou's identity and strength, and the credibility brought by his past actions, they were unwilling to easily dismiss it as a lie.
"Has anyone communicated with him before? Do you know any inside information?"
"Wu Chongwen, answer! Su Zhou must have said something to you, that's why you helped him gather us so quickly, right?"
"Su Zhou often disappears for a period of time, and his strength greatly increases every time he returns. I believe he is an agent of an ancient Lord, but the world's destruction... let's continue listening!"
Another group of Holy Seats wanted to figure out the inside story of this matter as soon as possible. They knew Su Zhou better than other Holy Seats, and they also knew that Yansheng (Craft Saint) and Su Zhou had a good relationship, so they privately chatted with Yansheng, hoping to get some hints.
But Yansheng remained silent, not saying a word.
"Is it possible that he wants power and made up a reason?"
In the private channel, even the Literary Saint (Wen Sheng), as the Chief Holy Seat, didn't believe this when it was said. The old man holding the Scarlet Firmament Sword (Chi Xiao Jian) couldn't help but shake his head: "No, if he wants power and wants to deceive us, he can use other more realistic reasons. There's no need to be so exaggerated."
"Besides, if he wants power, wouldn't we give it to him?"
On the podium, Su Zhou didn't care about the chaos in the conference room.
No matter what emotions those gazes directed at him carried, whether they were suspicion, confusion, incomprehension, or as if looking at a rambling, scheming young man, he didn't care at all.
This was the confidence of someone who held the truth and strength.
[In short.]
After the atmosphere on the field calmed down a little, Su Zhou spoke directly and continued: [Our universe is part of a great seal sealing many ancient Lords, and now many ancient Lords are awakening at the same time. Their power shakes endless time and space, and the extinction and revival of spiritual energy are due to changes in their will. When all the ancient Lords have revived and intend to break out of the seal, our universe will be destroyed.]
[A very simple analogy—if the multiverse is a bottle sealing countless demon gods, then our universe is the bottle cap covering the mouth of the bottle.]
[And now—I believe that you seniors must be able to see the boundless dark cracks in the universe. You should have seen them for longer than I have been alive. And now, I want to say that this dark crack is a symbol that our universe, as the bottle cap, is gradually disintegrating as the 'seal' breaks.]
Su Zhou once again directly threw out a bombshell.
And this bombshell also confirmed various studies by Zheng Guo (lit. Proper Country, a pseudonym for China) on the dark cracks in the universe, making all the Holy Seats who knew the relevant information extremely shocked and couldn't help but fall into thought.
Suspended in the universe, unable to touch, unable to contact, only able to be targeted through teleportation magic, the 'dark crack' was originally regarded as a special natural phenomenon. Subsequent studies on the migration of immortals and gods showed that the crack did not exist since ancient times, but gradually appeared with the extinction of spiritual energy, and this crack did not only appear in the Earth universe, but also in many other time and space realms such as the Qingqiu universe and the Kunlun Secret Realm.
The crack is a crack in spiritual energy. The extinction of spiritual energy is the phenomenon of spiritual energy flowing along these cracks across the universe to other universes.
This conjecture is very persuasive in the entire world's research on the extinction of spiritual energy, and many people support it.
And the direction in which the immortals and gods left in the past was also identified as the other universe at the other end of the crack.
No one knows why the crack was born, and some people worry about whether the existence of the crack will have any negative impact on the existence of the world itself, but there is no empirical evidence to date.
But now, Su Zhou's words can explain all of this.
Whether it is the existence of ancient Lords, or the reason for the extinction and revival of spiritual energy, and the reason for the birth of dark cracks... even the final destruction of the world, everything can be explained.
But now is not the time to just believe it.
"Su Zhou, I don't disbelieve you, but if everything is as you say... then what does it mean that the silver light filled a huge gap before?"
It was the Number Saint (Shu Sheng) who spoke. The middle-aged man wearing glasses clearly remembered the anomaly that appeared in the universe when Su Zhou returned from Qingqiu Star.
At that time, silver light shone in the sky, filling an entire huge space-time crack, and filling all the countless tributaries it derived... at that time, the official report was that it was a special stellar wind impacting the planet's magnetic field that caused the anomaly, but now it seems that the situation is not that simple.
Since the dark crack is a representative of the seal breaking, then the silver light filling the crack means that the seal is also automatically repairing itself?
And Su Zhou patiently replied: [As far as I know, that is the behavior of an awakened ancient Lord giving up on impacting the seal and instead trying to awaken other ancient Lords as much as possible—He chose to sleep, so the crack symbolizing Him was repaired by the seal again. But this is not a good thing. The current disappearance is just a prelude. In the future, we will definitely accept more direct impacts from the other side.]
[You should all know about the recent mysterious disappearances around the world, which is also the strange crossing event that happened to the South Sea Dragon King (Nan Hai Long Wang) Jiu Ming, right? That was induced by this ancient Lord who gave up on impacting the seal. All the selected explorers will go to explore other worlds in the multiverse, and under secret guidance, gradually awaken other ancient Lords.]
[That ancient Lord, who can be called the 'Pioneer', gave up the possibility of escaping the seal Himself, but made it so that His power can freely penetrate inside and outside the seal. This has certainly bought our universe some time, but it has made future variables more numerous, more urgent, and more dangerous.]
"I see..."
Hearing this, the Number Saint stopped asking, he sat back in his place, his expression solemn, and fell into contemplation.
Next, other Holy Seats spoke up to ask questions, and Su Zhou answered them one by one.
However, these questions were all biased towards details, such as why Su Zhou could be sure that the world would be destroyed by the dark cracks, how he knew that this multiverse was a seal for the ancient Lords, and that the awakening of the ancient Lords would cause all this.
Of course, some people asked the most critical question—why were the ancient Lords sealed, and since they were so powerful, who sealed them?
In response, Su Zhou's answer was very simple: [The ancient Lord who chose me told me. According to my current experience, there is no harm in believing it, and it doesn't matter if you don't believe it. I'm just here to tell you, I don't expect to mobilize everyone to do anything in an instant... and you can't do anything anyway.]
[As for who exactly sealed them, I don't know, it's that simple.]
At this point, everyone fell into contemplation.
"Temporary adjournment!"
One heavy message after another was thrown out, so that even the Holy Seats endured the desire to ask questions on the spot, but they were obviously a little restless and unable to conduct the subsequent meeting normally—plus they also had many doubts, so the leading Literary Saint, after a brief exchange with Su Zhou, announced a temporary adjournment and would continue in fifteen minutes.
After announcing the adjournment, almost all the images of the Holy Seats disappeared like bubbles. This was because they canceled their access to the illusion and began to use their own methods to contact people from their respective factions for internal discussions.
Su Zhou looked at all of this, not caring.
There were already factions among the Holy Seats. He directly summoned them in the name of the strongest human and said these heavy news, which was beyond their expectations.
In addition to being shocked, one person's thinking will definitely not come to any answer, it is better to exchange and analyze each other, and discuss what the situation is now, which is also a normal process.
"Speaking of which, Yala, although I believe you didn't lie to me, but now that things have reached this point, you should also tell me the true relationship between the Great Seal and the various Great Existences, right?"
At this moment, within the soul space, Su Zhou's voice communicated with the scarlet snake spirit.
His voice was magnanimous, without any concealment: "Why would this multiverse of ours become a seal for many Great Existences? I'm not a fool. When I last communicated with the Silent Lord (Ji Zhu), I could see that even His incarnation, an insignificant wisp of gray mist, could easily reshape the world, and the true form revealed at that moment could hurt my eyes... You Great Existences can easily manipulate time and space and reincarnation. In your heyday, influencing the multiverse would probably not be difficult, right?"
"In that case, just the Great Existences I know about, piled together, I'm afraid a multiverse wouldn't be able to hold them. It's like stuffing an elephant into a refrigerator, and it's not just one elephant, it's such an outrageous thing!"
Su Zhou's actions were naturally acquiesced by Yala, whether it was revealing information about the Great Seal and the Great Existences.
So the young man felt that if he were to ask now, he might be able to get an answer to this question that had puzzled him for so long.
And the fact was indeed so.
Facing Su Zhou's question, Yala, coiled into a ball, raised her head, her eyes shining slightly.
"Now that things have reached this point, you have gained the Silent Lord's approval, and our goal has officially been achieved, it is indeed time to tell you the truth I know."
Shaking her tail and patting the fruit of the Tree of Wisdom, the snake spirit's tone was calm, without any emotional color.
She raised her head, her gaze seeming to be able to penetrate Su Zhou's soul space and directly look at the top of the spirit world, that dark crack that also spanned infinite space.
Then, she narrated calmly.
"Although it has not been confirmed, I guess that the multiverse you and I are in is itself a broken but complete land of sealing, composed of countless loose cosmic wreckage and multiverse fragments."
"In other words, what makes up this multiverse is actually the fragments of my, the Silent Lord's, Fate's, Pioneer's... and so on, the past bodies of the Great Existences, the fragments that governed the world. We are not suppressed and sealed by a supreme power, but entangled with each other, mutually restraining and sealing."
"The Great Seal is certainly powerful, but it only plays a coordinating role, maintaining the balance between us sealed ones."
Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but frown.
He was silent for a while, and then asked with some doubt: "...But no matter what, there should be a direct sealer, otherwise, why would you losers be gathered together for collective sealing?"
Yala's answer was very quick: "Actually, not necessarily. Because the War of Correctness has no camps, the enemies of all Great Existences are all except themselves—for example, the reason why Fate was sealed also has my part, and I am also a direct contributor to the sealing of a certain Great Existence."
"Similarly, sealing me is not something that just one Great Existence can do."
"Huh?"
Hearing this, Su Zhou's focus suddenly shifted.
The young man asked curiously: "In that case, Yala, you're not that embarrassing, at least you can be considered one-for-one—which Great Existence did you seal? Is it someone I know? Can I know who it is?"
"...[Perfection]."
Yala obviously didn't intend to continue this topic, and turned her head after speaking.
"So that's how it is... as expected?"
And Su Zhou nodded thoughtfully after learning this name.
He skipped this topic and said in a low voice: "So, if you want to break the seal, you not only need to break free from the shackles of the Great Seal, but also need to appease the checks and balances of other Great Existences—and that's why you want me to appease other Great Existences one by one, so that they can continue to sleep?"
"That's about it... to be precise, you can imagine it as queuing."
Yala shook her head slightly, answering like this: "It's like if I really want to completely recover, I must weaken the power of those Great Existences that restrain me one by one—but similarly, after I completely leave, the Great Existences suppressed by my power will also become much easier. This is beneficial to everyone."
"If many Great Existences communicate and cooperate with each other, and leave in a friendly queue, then we can completely escape the seal without harming this multiverse or each other."
"But, if we don't leave in a queue, but wake up collectively and fight against each other, then the mutually restraining forces will only cause incredible chaos and disorder, and while completely destroying the multiverse as a seal, we will also severely damage us, who are just embers and remnants."
"And then, it will be easy for anyone to seal us again... understand? If that's the case, what's the point of my awakening and escaping the seal?"
"I see."
Su Zhou nodded slightly, and began to understand the operating mechanism of this seal.
He couldn't help but ponder: "So, as long as you communicate with each other, understand each other, and negotiate a sequence, then escaping the seal is simply easy... Haha, understand each other!"
Speaking of this, the young man and the snake spirit couldn't help but laugh together.
——Wanting to make Great Existences, each of whom thinks they are correct, understand each other, communicate with each other, and negotiate a sequence?
If that were the case, they wouldn't have fought in the first place, let alone been sealed!
"The Pioneer actually understands this, but His correctness is to constantly move forward, constantly explore—and, I don't know if He has found another way to safely escape the seal."
Finally, lying on the branches of the still-sleeping Tree of Wisdom, Yala shook her tail, she looked at Su Zhou and said with a meaningful tone: "But no matter what method it is, as long as an existence can start to communicate, then it is no longer a monster—similarly, an existence that can discuss and discuss cannot be considered an enemy."
"An existence that admits that it is not absolutely correct can escape the seal, because at that time, there is no need for a seal."
"And this is why I was the first to awaken and realize the operating principle of the Great Seal."
In the soul space, Su Zhou stared at the snake spirit, and he also nodded thoughtfully: "I see... I understand."
"This is really... just a seal."
The existence of the Great Seal is based on the fact that Great Existences cannot understand or trust each other.
In other words, there is no order.
And what is needed to establish order is power.
Whether it is Yala taking the lead in recovery, or saying that he becomes stronger... as long as the power is sufficient, all Great Existences can be made to stay obediently in the seal, or leave in order.
Mutual understanding always needs to be based on equality.
And just as Su Zhou was thinking deeply.
Two figures suddenly appeared in the almost empty illusionary conference room.
It was the Literary Saint and the Dao Saint (Dao Sheng).
Immediately afterwards, all the Holy Seats who had left before also returned one after another and returned to the conference room.
"Meeting begins!"
Nodding to Su Zhou to indicate that he had received confirmation, the Literary Saint, who was hosting the meeting, spoke and announced the continuation of the meeting.
At this time, Dao Saint and Literary Saint had already communicated many times in private.
They mostly held a 'belief' attitude towards the various 'speculations' that Su Zhou had said before.
After all, whether it was the connection between the dark cracks and the extinction and revival of spiritual energy, the information of the ancient Lords, or the theory of the cosmic seal, they could perfectly explain everything that the world was currently experiencing.
Even if it may not be the truth, since it can be explained, it means that this guess must be correct under certain circumstances.
As for why Su Zhou didn't tell them this information before, the reason was probably very simple.
Before, Su Zhou's strength was not strong, his words were not as persuasive as he is now, as the only immortal god-level, the strongest overlord of Earth, so it would probably be useless to say it in advance, and he would be punished for spreading rumors.
So Su Zhou announced the truth to everyone as soon as he reached his current realm. As a smart person, whether it was Dao Saint or Literary Saint, they were very clear that this speed was already very fast. After all, even with the ancient Lords as a backing, it was not easy to go from zero to overlord in four years.
"Su Zhou, if everything is as you say, and the world will really be destroyed in twenty years, then what can we do?"
At the meeting that started again, it was Literary Saint who took the lead in asking the question.
The Chief Holy Seat of Zheng Guo was concise and had no extra probing. The old man's eyes were solemn: "The destruction of the universe is too grand for our race, which has only just made its first spaceship in half a year. Even if you want us to be vigilant, we don't know where to pour this strength, and it's too ethereal."
"Yes."
The next speaker was Dao Saint. This practitioner, familiar to Su Zhou, looked at Su Zhou and said in a heavy tone: "I know you mean well and want us to be prepared when facing the crisis... but twenty years is too short. No matter how you think about it, nothing can be done in these twenty years. This is basically equivalent to sentencing us to death in advance and will only cause despair."
The Holy Seats have firm wills and will not fall into despair and panic, but ordinary people are different. If they know the truth, let alone fighting, they will probably just kick their legs and just want to enjoy themselves in the last time.
People who are willing to fight for a misty future are never the majority.
[In the following words, just develop normally. I just don't want humanity to be repeating internal struggles and pulling each other's legs at this critical moment.]
In response, Su Zhou also responded with the simplest words: [The ancient Lords behind me, and there is more than one, They do not intend to let all the ancient Lords wake up at the same time and tear apart the seal and this universe—so I was chosen to travel through the worlds and find various methods to make up for and delay the destruction of this multiverse.]
[In fact, I have already achieved some success—four years ago, the doomsday countdown for the universe was only fifteen years, but four years later, the countdown is close to thirty years. Even if I do nothing now, the doomsday will still take a long time to arrive, not to mention that I can't stop. If there is no influence from the 'Pioneer', this time will only be extended in the future, but now, because of the 'Pioneer', the future is in chaos and unknown.]
Saying this, Su Zhou looked around the entire hall, he looked at each Holy Seat in turn and said in a deep voice: [In the future, when my strength becomes stronger, I may be able to open a space-time door to the corresponding universe on Earth—at that time, it will be the time for our entire Earth civilization to work together.]
[And now, what we should do is accumulate strength, prepare for the moment that will eventually come in the future, and... respond to the 'Pioneer's' actions.]
[Not just Zheng Guo, but the entire Earth, there is absolutely no way that there is only Jiu Ming a dragon who has been favored by the Pioneer. We must try our best to screen all the chosen existences across the country, and use them as a breakthrough to figure out the Pioneer's plan, and... try to interfere with the task of other Pioneer explorers to awaken other ancient Lords.]
[There is no doubt that both plans require the collaboration of the entire country, even the entire world—that's why I am telling the truth now.]
Now, Su Zhou has said everything very clearly.
When he learned that the Silent Lord's world of reincarnation also had Pioneer explorers, he was very clear that if those explorers continued to explore in the future, they would definitely awaken other Great Existences.
No matter how small the probability, facing the Pioneer's dependents, who symbolize exploring the unknown, exploring the distance, exploring the 'impossible place', all the difficulties and obstacles will eventually be overcome.
And at that time, the one who will be passive is Su Zhou Yala's side.
Although, according to Yala, Su Zhou's many parallel selves in the multiverse will automatically hinder those Pioneer explorers, that is too ethereal and cannot be expected. It is far better to directly insert a force into the Pioneer's space to disrupt them from the inside and slow down their progress.
The next meeting will continue.
The Holy Seats asked Su Zhou a lot of details about the relevant matters, such as what was the situation when he went to other universes, and how he appeased other ancient Lords, obtained their approval, and thus extended the existence time of the seal.
The attitudes of the Holy Seats were all very good, and when they asked questions, they were all hesitant, seemingly worried about asking secrets that could not be answered and causing embarrassment, so many times, Su Zhou himself took the initiative to answer.
Now that things have reached this point, the young man has nothing to be afraid of. With his current strength, plus the strengthened personal space, even if all the nuclear bombs and magical weapons of the entire Earth were directed at him, he would not have any fear.
Apart from the existence of Yala and the Heavenly Divine Scale (Tian Shen Ke Du), he basically told all of his past exploration experiences in general.
The reason why he didn't say these two was actually very simple.
First of all, it is meaningless to even say Yala's existence—what can be done by telling everyone that this little snake is a Great Lord? It's just a waste of time. Will Yala say information that she doesn't want to tell him to others?
And the Heavenly Divine Scale... is actually the same reason.
Su Zhou had let his best friend Shao Qiming try to activate the Heavenly Divine Scale, but this attempt did not have any results. Shao Qiming could not activate this mysterious and unpredictable ancient artifact and open the space-time channel, even though his spiritual power reserve was definitely enough.
After discussing with Yala, Su Zhou finally determined that to activate the Heavenly Divine Scale, it was necessary to induce the aura belonging to the Great Existence... and whether it was the Divine Tree, the Silent Lord, or Yala, the scales engraved on this Heavenly Divine Scale were only related to Su Zhou.
The initial activation of the Heavenly Divine Scale was entirely because it encountered Yala, who was trying to reach the Earth universe through a ritual.
For this very mysterious silver metal pocket watch, Yala's guess is that it is a core fragment that fell off after the Great Seal began to break, so it will react to a trace of the will of the Great Existence that escaped.
And its effect of traveling through many worlds may be to allow the existence holding this seal fragment to go to various worlds and try to repair the seal.
It's just that the Heavenly Divine Scale probably didn't expect that the existence that picked it up was not a strong person who could explore the real situation of the Great Seal, but an ordinary Earth human.
Everything is a coincidence.
After a long inquiry, the meeting was almost over.
Although not all of the Holy Seats dared to fully believe Su Zhou, as Su Zhou himself said, believing in this kind of thing is just working harder, and not believing in it is 100% choosing to give up.
As long as humans are still looking forward to the future, even if they don't believe it, they won't deny it too much.
The most important thing is that the 'persuasion skill' bonus brought by Su Zhou's strength is too strong... In the final analysis, Su Zhou's daily performance is not that of a madman, and every move has logic.
At the end of the meeting, the most prestigious and oldest of all the Holy Seats, the Reasoning Saint (Li Sheng), asked Su Zhou the last question on behalf of all the Holy Seats.
"We all believe that you would not use this reason to deceive us, Su Zhou."
The old man, who will be a hundred years old in a while, asked with a hint of heavy confusion: "But, what is the proof?"
"You don't want our world to be destroyed, that's easy to understand, but what can that ancient Lord in your mouth prove that you are indeed an agent of the ancient Lord?"
"This is not suspicion, but people need evidence, a reason, to believe all your words."
The Reasoning Saint's words were sonorous and forceful.
Reason, and evidence.
Very normal requirements.
If it were Su Zhou himself, he would definitely ask for these.
Even if he has already sincerely believed it, he would still ask for these things to be proven.
It's like a math problem, everyone knows what the answer is, but only by writing out the correct solution steps can you convince everyone and explain that the answer is justified and not just a guess, and prove that the person who wrote this answer 100% understands his answer and why he can get it.
So, Su Zhou simply nodded.
[Okay.]
He answered like this, and then closed his eyes.
In the next moment, when he opened his eyes again, between his pupils, there were gears that seemed to connect all things, rotating in the void.
Su Zhou's eyes were clear, and the cyan-purple spiritual light flowed around the erected dragon pupils. In the past, after experts from the Zheng Guo Pseudo-Dao lineage conducted detailed tests time and time again, they all said that this was a powerful dragon pupil that had never been discovered in all demon god inheritances before, enough to see through most of the illusions and realities in the world. Whether it was dynamic vision or accuracy, it far exceeded all existing detectors and spells.
Even Su Zhou could adjust his dragon pupils, thereby seeing almost all the electromagnetic wave frequencies and spiritual energy fluctuations in the world. This meant that everything in this world was almost transparent to him, and no obstacles or shielding magic circles could block his peeking.
But, when everyone looked at Su Zhou's dragon pupils rotating with gears, everyone was shocked to discover that what this pair of eyes could see through was definitely not just obstacles and shielding magic circles.
It seemed... to transcend time and space, to see the past called 'previous life' after the skin and soul.
Even... the nature originating from the true spirit.
The power from the Silent Lord, the authority of the [Seal of Reincarnation], was emerging in the young man's eyes.
At this moment, the Dao Saint's eyes were blank, and the Heavenly Master named Zhang Qingyun seemed to see a bird flying to the sky, chasing the sun, moving forward, exhausted again and again, but charging again and again. The bird could not stop flying to a higher place, and it eventually fell from the highest point in the sky, but it had already died before falling to the ground.
The data of the Craft Saint hidden in the electronic space was scattered, and the scientist named Wu Chongwen seemed to see a fisherman struggling in a vast and endless sea. The storm made it impossible for him to return, and the huge waves were about to smash the fishing boat. He died and sank into the depths of the ocean. Before the bones fell to the seabed, the flesh and blood of the fisherman who caught the fish had been eaten by the fish, which was the destination.
The expression of the Life Saint (Sheng Sheng) became dazed. Cang Lunzhe stared at Su Zhou's eyes, as if hearing a crisp phoenix cry from the rotating gears. It was a tree, a huge sycamore tree that seemed to be burning with flames. It carried many phoenix nests and had gone through endless years, but eventually it still withered. At the end of its life, the sycamore tree burned in the phoenix fire, and the phoenixes sang for it, expecting its nirvana.
There were many more, emerging from the rotating gears in those eyes. It was a scene from beyond time and space, beyond human general logic, consciousness, and imagination, almost difficult to describe in any language.
Some people saw a lifetime of poverty, dying as war refugees, some people saw wealth and extravagance, wantonly happy as aristocratic doctors, and humans were only a minority, whether it was frogs or squids, eagles or apple trees, in the sea, in the sky, on the ground, in the void of the universe.
Everything was repeated in the rotating phantasm, ushering in the end and a new beginning.
Reincarnation.
Even though this place was an illusion, even though it was not a face-to-face confrontation, all the Holy Seats were, at this moment, frightened by the scene of reincarnation.
Then, they struggled to break free after Su Zhou closed his eyes.
——Is it true? Is it a dream?
What does all this have to do with them now?
It seems to have something to do with it, but it doesn't seem to.
The vast reincarnation and cause and effect, the endless past and previous lives, seemed to be seen through by that indifferent and solemn, sacred and clear gaze.
"Just now... what was that?!"
The one-eyed Military Saint wiped the cold sweat from his forehead with lingering fear. Even if it was an illusion, it reflected reality, which meant that in reality, the old man's wrinkled forehead must also be covered in cold sweat. He murmured: "Everything just now... is it true or false?"
As soon as the voice fell, the Military Saint noticed something was wrong. He shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Well, whether it's true or false, this power can directly affect me even through the illusion, and even make me have such hallucinations... is indeed not something that any known magical power can do."
"As evidence and reason, I think this is enough."
The other Holy Seats, who had gradually escaped from the power of the [Seal of Reincarnation], which was enough to see through 'previous lives', mostly had the same mood.
They looked at Su Zhou, who was on the stage and had not opened his eyes again for a long time, with shock or surprise, their eyes full of conviction.
——Really!
——Indeed, this kind of power, which allows a hegemonic immortal to see through other people's reincarnation with just a casual glance, or even see through previous lives through the illusion, even Yama, who is in charge of the six paths of reincarnation, or even Houtu Heavenly Venerate, may not be able to do it!
Everything does not require words, believing comes from the heart, and never requires verbal acknowledgment.
After urging the power of the Seal of Reincarnation, Su Zhou, who felt extremely painful in his eyes, was filled with joy in his heart.
"Seal of Reincarnation, just urging a small part of its power can see through a person's past and previous life? With such a glance, there is no need to identify it at all. Whether a person is a family of a Great Existence, and what level and branch they belong to, is all clear!"
"This is just the most basic application of the Seal of Reincarnation... Even if there is no reincarnation on the body, you can use it to see through the other person's foundation and past. From then on, all cause and effect will be invisible in front of you."
In the soul space, Yala smiled calmly, sensing the power that had just emerged from Su Zhou's body, her smile became even happier: "And in the future, if you collect the blessings of other Great Existences..."
"Haha, that unpredictable future is really something I look forward to."
In the end, suppressing the stinging pain in his eyes, Su Zhou, who opened his eyes again and looked at the Holy Seats in front of him, made a decision in his heart.
"My strength has reached this point, and it is very difficult to improve on Earth."
Thinking like this, Su Zhou whispered in his heart: "Yala, after we have dealt with things on Earth, let's set off for the Primordial World (Yuan Chu Shi Jie)."
And the snake spirit simply replied: "Everything is up to you to decide."
The meeting finally ended.
After the Literary Saint announced the end of the meeting, all the Holy Seats returned to reality in shock, bringing with them a belly full of incredible secret news and big news.
Su Zhou also left the illusionary space after saying a simple goodbye to everyone.
The Life Saint and the Craft Saint were the last to leave the illusionary conference room. They watched Su Zhou's back, their eyes complicated.
[What exactly does he want to do?]
In the illusionary space that was gradually collapsing and returning to a pure data stream, even the Craft Saint's indifferent Ai-like tone could not help but show a hint of confusion.
He murmured to himself: [Gained such power, such authority, but his behavior is still so simple, direct, and very decisive...]
[What exactly does Su Zhou want? Is it power, fame, or wealth? No, he doesn't need these... What he wants is strength, transcendence, or...]
"Don't guess."
The Craft Saint's doubtful guess was finally interrupted by the Life Saint.
The white-haired contemporary Bai Ze (a mythological auspicious beast), took a deep breath and then smiled: "Isn't what he wants to do a very simple thing?"
Turning his head, Cang Lunzhe looked at his old friend who he had known for decades, the Life Saint's tone carrying mockery: "Chongwen, did you have so many thoughts and guesses when you were in your teens and twenties?"
[...No.]
"At that time, you studied hard, practiced hard, researched unprecedented techniques, and pioneered the path of electronic soul transformation... At that time, were you for power, fame, and wealth?"
[...No.]
"Or, did you already know at that time that this path would give you great power?"
[...Neither.]
Faced with the smiling inquiry from his friend, the Craft Saint, realizing that he had indeed thought too much, smiled in the same way after being silent for a moment: [I understand...]
He withdrew his gaze with a sense of emotion, and then sighed softly: [At that time... I just simply hoped that this world could become a better place.]
Standing next to the Craft Saint, the Life Saint's gaze dropped slightly, seemingly reminiscing about the past.
"Yes."
Finally, he raised his head and looked at the area where the young man disappeared. The man said calmly: "Even when you grow up, don't forget this initial wish."
"We are all people who look forward to a new world and a better future."
The illusionary space completely collapsed into a data stream.
The Life Saint's figure also gradually disappeared.
Only one sentence remained, echoing in the drifting data torrent.
"Let's go, there are too many things to do next."
[...Yes.]
Standing in this illusory and real network space, the Craft Saint was silent for a long time before finally responding after a long time, smiling and dissipating into the torrent.
[So, I am willing to believe him.]
[Believe in this young man, who is the same as us.]
