Chapter 474 The Zhu Zhao Dragon Arrives Uninvited! (End of the Reincarnation World, Asking for Monthly Tickets!)

[Terrified Sea Emperor · White Whale's Evil Soul]

[A soul that has spent its life searching for freedom, yet never finding it, endlessly tossed and turned in reincarnation]

[A soul of a lost one, neither good nor evil, purely guided by the heart]

[Directly using it will greatly increase affinity with water-based spiritual energy and greatly increase water-based efficacy]

[Spiritual burning can transform it into a spirit attachment of 'Water of Freedom', attaching to all equipment and items]

[Forged using special techniques, it can be cast into the soul spear 'Heavenly Water · Seven Seas Terror']

[Harmonized using special techniques, after consumption, one can obtain the inheritance of the 'Power of the Water God']

[One must violate precepts, equivalent to acknowledging the existence of precepts; one must pursue freedom, but ends up being unfree]

[Fluid and solid, ocean and continent, freedom and precepts, reincarnation and exploration, fate and chaos]

[Wandering within these, blurring the lines between black and white, good and evil, freely proving one's own heart, perhaps that is what is called freedom]

"...Interesting."

From the burning black and white cold flames, Su Zhou picked up the deep blue evil soul. The fact that the flames of sin didn't burn away the White Whale's evil soul surprised him. So, the youth carefully examined it for a while after retrieving it.

Unlike the White Whale, the evil souls of the Wandering Sea King Modale and the Meditative Sea King Colon were reduced to ashes called 'Burnt Remnants' after being burned by the flames of sin.

[Wandering Sea King · Modale's Evil Soul]

[Isn't it the instinct of bloodlines for dragonflies to hunt mosquitoes? A bug person who hunted his own kind, troubled by this, wandered into the sea and has lingered until now. Although retribution is not complete, burning away is also the end.]

[The evil soul remnants burned by the karmic fire might still have some use]

[Meditative Sea King · Colon's Evil Soul]

[Oppressing the weak and kneeling before the strong, the pure abuser never reflected on his mistakes until the very end of his life when he dared to raise his fist against the strong. Although retribution is not complete, burning away is also the end.]

[The evil soul remnants burned by the karmic fire might still have some use]

Of the seven Sea Kings of the Seven Seas, six have now died. The evil souls of the two Sea Kings burned by the karmic fire have already become remnants, and the Anxious Sea King Yarber was judged before the battle even began because he didn't advance to become a Hegemon, so Su Zhou didn't obtain his evil soul.

The remaining Wrathful Sea Emperor Wulen, Cheerful Sea Emperor Maserien, and Terrified Sea Emperor White Whale still have their evil souls, but compared to the White Whale, the other two Sea Emperors' evil souls are not worth mentioning. Regardless of their rank, in terms of quality alone, they are only slightly better than the mass-produced evil souls on Qingqiu Star.

On the other hand, the White Whale, although confused about whether there is an absolute answer to the path, his belief in 'seeking answers' itself is extremely firm.

Just like the Silent One, Bornev, in the past, even after enduring the interrogation of sin, the White Whale did not hesitate and did not regret it, thus achieving the ultimate in 'evil'.

The divine power of Water of Freedom is precisely the Sea Emperor's reflection on the path of 'absolute freedom'.

Su Zhou stored these evil souls in his soul space. As for the two portions of burnt remnants, he vaguely felt that these things might have some special use for his personal world or as fertilizer... Especially after learning about 'World Dust' from Elias, he always felt that the fertilizer for the third stage of the Wisdom Tree's growth had been found, and evil soul remnants might also serve as an auxiliary material.

"After solving all the matters, I will go with Elias to collect some World Dust... The Wisdom Tree will definitely be happy."

But now is not the time to look at the evil souls.

After a bright flash of light, Su Zhou canceled his 'Sea Battle Type Zhu Zhao True Body' and transformed back into human form. The black-haired youth looked up ahead. He could see a bright, incomparable crimson-gold light spreading in the distant clouds, radiating light like the sun.

That was the scene of the Fire Lord Elias pressing the last of the Seven Sea Kings, the Wandering Sea Emperor Edan, against the sea.

"...When did Elias become so brutal? Ouch...I can't bear to watch."

Although the scene of Elias using the fire element's yang to roast Edan, who had transformed into the Deep Sea Dream Lord, on the sea was very brutal, it was clear that Su Zhou was even more brutal than his student. He shook his head slightly, with a hint of anger, and said, "Grilled squid tentacles, without adding chili peppers?"

"Will this do?! I must educate Him properly next time!"

Obviously, if Elias had to face six or seven Water Gods with different abilities, all possessing corresponding powerful divine powers, he might need to pay a great price to defeat them, and might not even win – but if it were one-on-one, just like Su Zhou using absolute power to crush them six, Elias could also crush his opponent.

But now, there was no extra time. Su Zhou stopped paying attention to Elias' process of cleaning up the house and turned to look at the deepest part of the Meditative Sea.

There, the dazzling light of the 'Source Water Soul' was even more dazzling to Su Zhou than the sun in the sky.

That was the core of completely resolving the world's disaster of 'elemental imbalance', the top priority of this operation.

Moreover, Su Zhou could also see a previously discovered Overlord-level undead rapidly approaching the Source Water Soul.

"Who exactly is that?"

Because he didn't have Hegemon-level strength, Su Zhou didn't think too much about it at first, just thinking that it might be a powerful pirate who hadn't been selected to participate in the ceremony wanting to take advantage of the situation to become a god again. But no matter who the other party was, stopping his actions was the right preparation.

So, with a buzz, Su Zhou plunged into the sea, transforming into a streak of cyan-purple light, rapidly flying towards the Source Water Soul.

The seawater, filled with thick water elements, released a faint fluorescence. The churning waves not only stirred the sea surface, but also formed huge ocean currents deep in the ocean.

If, this time, the ocean current circulation of the Meditative Sea and the external ocean were connected, then this silent, dead ocean might be able to regain some vitality.

And what gave birth to this ocean current was naturally the Source Water Soul.

Nearly four hundred years ago, at the beginning of the new era of the Tartadis world, four 'Primal Souls' were born unprecedentedly around the 'Four Elemental Hearts' in the world's center.

The Primal Souls, representing the highest inheritance of the four major elemental systems and natural systems, would allow any life that obtained them to have a great possibility of becoming a Hegemon-level god in the future. Without needing to comprehend fundamental daos like the 'Four Paths to Immortality', they could become the strongest in this world simply by comprehending the corresponding elements.

In other worlds, these would be called 'Innate Gods' or 'Initial Gods'.

The Fire Soul was given to Elias, who was still very weak and feeble at that time, so that he could continue to lead the earliest Fire People, that is, the many residents of Nesser City, to survive in this new era.

The Wind Soul, as a spoils of war for the Wind God to help create the new era, allowed Him to ascend to the Hegemon God position at the fastest speed.

These two elemental souls did not have any problems. Both Elias and the Wind God are now gods who truly care about their people. On the contrary, the remaining two elemental souls have become the source of all the world's contradictions.

The Earth Soul was initially split by Su Zhou and integrated into the bodies of all intelligent creatures in this world, giving them a certain innate extraordinary talent. The final result was that Elias used the power of sentient beings' wishes as the foundation to create a 'Dragon of Humanity and the Masses', that is, the God of the Lord of Judgment. And the prototype of the Lord of Judgment was naturally Su Zhou. This transfer of karma and wishes transformed into chains, locking Su Zhou's personal space in the reincarnation world, making it difficult to leave.

The problem of the Lord of Judgment's judgment of good and evil, too much popular tyranny, led to the birth of pirates and the Sea People. Elias' imperfect code further exacerbated this. As these residents of the sea gradually prospered, they also began to want to find the 'Source Water Soul' to become gods themselves.

That is the cause of the current disasters such as elemental imbalance.

Su Zhou was quite helpless about this.

When he initially divided the elemental souls, he originally wanted the Source Water Soul to become a symbol, that is, the symbol of 'exploration'. Civilizations need to explore. Sticking to the old ways will not lead to growth. But the Fire People and Wind People are land-based creatures. If everyone's lives are good, how many people will spontaneously explore the ocean, and how long will it take to explore?

Conversely, the same is true for marine creatures. The ocean is so vast, why would they go to land?

So, either force civilization to leave through hardship, or set a goal to guide civilization forward.

According to what Su Zhou knew, the Earth's Immortal God civilization back then lost the desire to explore and holed up in the solar system for hundreds of thousands of years because it had lost its goal and the environment was too favorable.

Holding such thoughts, Su Zhou wanted to use the opportunity to 'become a god' to induce people to explore... But now it seems that this induction was too simple and too direct, so that in the end, the one who obtained the Source Water Soul and became the Water God was not the 'active explorer' that Su Zhou imagined, but a group of unscrupulous pirates.

"Now that I think about it, my responsibility as the minister of the New World Exploration Department of Zheng Nation is quite significant."

Thinking so, Su Zhou sighed in his heart, and at the same time, his inner thoughts became firm: "In the past, I didn't pay too much attention to this responsibility... But now that I think about it, if I, as the minister, don't shoulder this responsibility, will Earth also usher in a similar reincarnation world, an unpleasant ending?"

"Perhaps it won't be like this, but it's time to actively influence the world."

With this thought, the cyan-purple spiritual light flew.

Su Zhou had arrived near the Source Water Soul.

At this moment, around the Source Water Soul.

"Hurry, hurry..."

The Antman Lich Ancente had arrived at the deepest part of the Meditative Sea, around the 'Sea Crystal Mountain' where the Source Water Soul was located.

Just now, Ancente had sensed that the aura of the White Whale, the most powerful of the Seven Sea Kings, had completely dissipated from heaven, earth, and sea.

And the battle from beginning to end didn't last more than twenty seconds.

As for the last remaining Wandering Sea Emperor Edan... to be honest, Ancente felt that if even the White Whale could be easily killed in twenty seconds, killing Him would probably only take one strike. The fact that He was still alive now was probably more about punishment than killing.

Even as a pioneer space agent who is the most skilled in 'exploration', 'adventure', and 'pioneering' in the entire multiverse, Ancente had to admit that his plan in his mother world had completely failed, and the reason was because he had underestimated the strength of the gods in his hometown.

The power of the six Water Gods was actually very powerful. This was a power sufficient to destroy an entire era and rebuild a new era - in his original plan, all the Water Gods would join hands to create a huge tide sufficient to flood the entire world. In this way, even if the mainland was not flooded due to the interference of the Fire Lord and the Wind Lord, the elemental balance of the era would be completely destroyed, and the 'Four Elemental Hearts' hidden in the world's center would be revealed to the world.

At that time, Ancente, who had obtained a part of the Four Elemental Hearts, could try to use this to cooperate with his nearly completed 'Law of Dharma' to advance to become a complete 'Four Elemental Spirit' and become one of the most powerful and perfect Hegemons... At that time, it would be when he completely explored all the mysteries of his hometown and transformed his mother world into his own exclusive world.

But... the inexplicably powerful power of the Lord of Judgment completely turned this crazy but somewhat feasible plan into nothing.

"This, this power, let alone the Divine Tree Not Easy in the Divine Wood World of Conquering Heaven, even if the Dragon God bodies in the Wishing World came, it would be nothing more than this!"

"Primal Zhu Zhao, Dragon of Worldly Innovation? My hometown actually has this level of monster, and it's one of the ultimate secrets... Damn it, I was too rash!"

At this time, various runes, arrays, and fluctuations were surging wildly around the Antman Lich. He was trying to connect to the arrays around the Source Water Soul, embed himself in them, and perform an unplanned 'God Ascension Ceremony' - this time, seventeen years of planning in his hometown had completely failed. Not to mention perfect advancement, he probably wouldn't be able to return in the future.

In order to recover the losses, Ancente planned to use the Source Water Soul to forcibly obtain the key to the Hegemon level, and then return to the Pioneer Space... In this way, he wouldn't lose too much.

But unfortunately, this plan was also about to go bankrupt.

Boom!

A loud roar appeared on the seabed in front of Crystal Mountain.

Ancente, who was still connecting the runes on his body at the fastest speed, trying to connect with the Source Water Soul, suddenly stiffened all over and stood motionless.

Because he sensed an incomparably tyrannical killing intent and baleful aura, pressing down like a hurricane sweeping across the heavens and earth!

--The baleful aura on the Lord of Judgment, at least, at least it was at the level that could only be possessed by slaughtering tens of millions or hundreds of millions of lives!

Even the cells and the most subtle distractions of the soul were frozen. Under this level of terrifying pressure, the Antman Lich's mind went blank - what was going on with this level of baleful aura? Could there be so many lives in the entire Tartadis world? This was at least the level that could only be possessed by slaughtering the entire world, the entire planet!

Could it be that the previous era was when the Lord of Judgment carried out an act of world destruction...

It must be said that most of Ancente's guesses were correct, because Su Zhou did slaughter all the Heavenly Demons of Qingqiu Star, and it was indeed him who presided over the end of the previous era of the Reincarnation World.

But guessing correctly was useless. The Antman Lich heard a voice that was so calm that it frightened him.

"As expected, you are a guy from the Pioneer Space... Alright, don't move around, turn around."

--The Lord of Judgment actually knows about the Pioneer Space?! Sure enough, He is also related to the Pioneer Space?

The shock brought by this news even outweighed the shock brought by the Lord of Judgment's strength. Although he had long speculated that the other party might be a senior from the Pioneer Space, the Antman Lich's heart was still incomparably shocked after the evidence in this regard was confirmed.

Thoughts flashed through his mind, and Ancente stopped all actions obediently and turned around obediently.

Then, his vision instantly turned dark, leaving only the figure exuding cyan-purple brilliance, solemn and awe-inspiring, sacred and full of baleful intent.

In the darkness, fragments of souls screaming and wailing were all over the deep sea and the heavens and the earth, like clouds covering the sky, the remnants of thousands of evil souls roaring around Him.

And countless golden chains of wishes were wrapped around Him, as if sealing a certain abyss full of resentment and curses on Him.

Ancente could vaguely see that behind this figure, there were layers of huge dragon phantoms changing and displaying their majesty and holy appearance.

Among them, there were slender and sacred, infinitely majestic dragon phantoms, as well as huge and burly dragon phantoms full of strength. In addition, there were various forms such as wingless and winged.

--Innovation! Innovation!

Echoing in his ears were all kinds of praises that he didn't know whether they were hallucinations or reality, and Ancente knelt down subconsciously.

"...I didn't tell you to kneel down, forget it, just kneel."

Even the Lord of Judgment didn't seem to expect Ancente to be so unwavering. He shook his head speechlessly, and then said calmly, "You are probably the mastermind behind supporting the Seven Sea Kings, providing them with mythological templates, and designing god ascension ceremonies for them... If you are a guest from the Pioneer Space, everything makes sense. Your body also has a similar scent to that on Jiu Ming."

"You are not the cause of the chaos in this world, but you are indeed the most important instigator... Tell me, how should I punish you?"

Although the Lord of Judgment said a lot, the Antman Lich didn't have the mood to pay attention to it now.

Because an important mission prompt from the Pioneer Space appeared directly in front of him!

[Optional Special Mission: Invite the Primal Zhu Zhao · Dragon of Worldly Innovation to return to the Pioneer Space]

[The entire team receives two S-level Pioneering Permissions, Exploration Points]

--A team-wide double S-level optional mission?! 150,000 Exploration Points?!

For a time, even the veteran Ancente was completely dizzy. Of course, he knew that the Pioneer Space would occasionally give out 'invitation missions' to select qualified candidates who met the space's conditions to join, and the rewards generally hovered between the single-person D-level and C-level levels... Even for a strongman among the Overlords, comparable to a Hegemon, the Divine Tree Not Easy, the mission to defeat Him was only a double A-level Pioneering Permission.

And a double S-level team mission, just for invitation, without even the usual 'defeat' or 'kill' missions, what kind of concept is this? At least in Ancente's experience, this had never happened. Similarly, this also meant that the strength of the Lord of Judgment in front of him even far exceeded his previously deliberately overestimated imagination. The space didn't even think he had any possibility of defeating, killing, or even harming the other party!

After being at a loss for a moment, Ancente quickly made up his mind in the face of the Lord of Judgment, who was still expressionless and waiting for an answer.

"No way - I have to return immediately! I can't stay in this ghost place in the mother world at all!"

"Space, use the Forced Return Order!"

Generally speaking, returning requires explorers to return to the location where they first landed. For Ancente, it was the secret base in the volcanic cave in the Wrathful Sea, but sometimes, if it was too troublesome and life-threatening to return to the origin, the space would offer an expensive 'Forced Return Order', the base price of which was a B-level Pioneering Permission and 5,000 Exploration Points.

What Ancente was using now was the 'Instant Return Order' without any delay. Although the price was more expensive, there was no delay at all. As long as the thought moved, he could directly set off to return!

And this was also the confidence that Ancente dared to stir up trouble in the mother world!

Buzz -- Instantly, silver-white light burst out from the distant void. It ignored distance and time, directly crossed layers of void, and enveloped the Antman Lich.

However, outside the Tartadis world.

A layer of hazy mist fluctuated for a moment.

So, the bright silver light also dimmed for a moment.

At the same time, Su Zhou, who had once seen Jiu Ming teleport from the Pioneer Space, instantly realized that the other party was about to teleport away directly.

The youth had long been prepared for this.

"Want to run? Too late! Want to die? Too late too!"

Sneering, Su Zhou took a step forward. A round of spiritual light comparable to the great sun suddenly lit up in his eyes, meeting Ancente's empty Lich soul fire.

In the soul space, the incomparably huge Zhu Zhao Soul looked down at a fragile ice-blue soul fire, then placed it in the palm of his hand and exhaled a breath.

Instantly, accompanied by a scream, the Antman Lich's body burst into flames with raging spiritual fire. The vast 'Power of Worldly Innovation' forcibly poured into the other party's body along the connection of the soul, deeply penetrating Ancente's thoughts and soul.

A moment later, the belated silver-white brilliance flickered, and Ancente's body disappeared.

At the same time.

Independent of many time and space, in a certain void almost located at the highest point of the ice-condensed void.

On a metal land filled with bright silver brilliance, an Antman Lich burning with purple-cyan spiritual fire suddenly appeared, lying prostrate on the ground in a mess.

[Exploration completed, returning to 'Pioneer Space']

[Elite Adventurer, Far Sight · Ancente, your injuries are very serious, do you want to repair them? If you don't choose, it will be defaulted to repair.]

The space's calm voice sounded, but the Lich did not answer. He stared blankly ahead, and a trace of cyan-purple light was flashing in the original azure soul fire.

After a while, accompanied by the space's voice of [Default Repair Start], Ancente, who was shrouded in bursts of brilliance, floated in the air, and the spiritual fire all over his body gradually receded.

However, for some reason, the purple-cyan brilliance, which was probably defaulted to be 'beneficial', was not directly eliminated and still remained in Ancente's body.

And until this time, Ancente, who was slowly recovering from the soul's trauma, gradually regained his agility and clarity.

"I, I'm back?!"

Immediately, the thought of being afraid after the event flashed in the Lich's mind. Fortunately, Ancente was a Lich's body, otherwise he would definitely be covered in cold sweat. Recalling the terrifying divine shadow he saw before returning, Ancente was trembling from body to soul: "I'm back! I'm safe!"

"I'm never going back! I'm never going back! The mother world is too terrifying... This world doesn't need my exclusive protection at all. Which explorer goes there will be unlucky! Hahahaha, Lord of Judgment, I really want to see their expressions when they encounter the Lord of Judgment!"

He almost cried with joy.

However, without Ancente himself realizing it.

The cyan-purple spiritual light was still flashing in the depths of his soul.

And, a near-nonexistent voice was echoing softly.

"Innovation..."

"Innovation!"

At the same time, the Tartadis world.

Su Zhou stared at the place where Ancente disappeared, with a smile hanging on the corner of his mouth.

"Aren't you always inviting me? Pioneer?"

"But, I don't like being invited..."

Speaking to himself in a low voice, Su Zhou smiled softly. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the distant distance and directly see the silver space on the other side: "So, this time, I will come uninvited!"

6600, I have updated 35,000 words in the last two days, really don't vote for a monthly ticket?
