Chapter 475 Plant an Evil Soul in Spring, and in Autumn... (5200, First Update, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

"The seed has been planted, now it's time to wait for it to sprout and take shape."

In the deep sea, next to the Source Water Soul, Su Zhou slowly retracted the light flickering in his eyes. Even so, there was still a flowing spiritual light, like lava, surging in the depths of his pupils.

He stared at the place where Ansonte disappeared, then smiled slightly.

What was hidden beneath that unremarkable soul attack just now was not any curse or parasitic power.

What Su Zhou had applied to Ansonte was, in a sense, a 'blessing' and a 'legacy'.

Since ascending to the position of overlord on Planet Qingqiu, Su Zhou had the ability to bestow his 'divine powers' on others, allowing them to temporarily possess some of his power—in other words, to become a proxy of a god, a true inheritance of an immortal, and the kind of power left in the bodies of his descendants that could protect them at critical moments.

This is why overlords are called Earth Immortals; they are considered true members of the immortal pantheon. They can use this to establish their own Daoist lineage overnight... At the same time, in terms of the Heavenly Soul level, a Heavenly Soul Immortal's fundamental divine power is the Immortal God itself, a part of that Immortal God. To completely eliminate an Immortal God, one needs to eliminate their Daoist lineage.

Otherwise, as long as there are divine powers and legacies circulating, that Immortal God might be able to revive and return.

Like the King of Heavenly Demons, after killing him, Su Zhou spent half a year killing all the Heavenly Demons on Planet Qingqiu, completely cutting off all opportunities for the 'Great Demon of Destiny' to return. The water gods of the Samsara World, although they did have a status, did not have time to spread their divine power inheritance, so they could be easily wiped out.

In fact, this is why there are so few selfish individuals in the Immortal God clusters. A super-life cluster that is clearly immortal and does not need descendants or disciples at all, they are all willing to widely accept disciples because autistic Immortal Gods are more likely to be killed than normal Immortal Gods who establish sects, and it is more difficult for them to survive in turbulent times.

For example, if Elias is the Lord of Fire, as long as there are still people in the world using the divine arts and fire power he passed down, he can revive through this.

Similarly, he can also pass this power on to others and create a new god.

Su Zhou, in fact, already has a considerable part of his Daoist lineage passed down on Earth... For example, most patrol departments and some special operations departments have some of Su Zhou's divine power inheritance circulating, such as the 'Eye of Discernment', 'Evil-Slaying Slash', and 'Five Thunder Method - Modified', and so on.

When Su Zhou analyzed his divine powers, he uploaded a large number of related spells, which have now begun to spread.

In a sense, if it were in the era of Immortals and Gods, it would not be strange for Su Zhou to get a title like 'True Lord of Severing Evil', and the national officialdom, in some aspects, also has, to a certain extent, the ability of past sects.

And just now, Su Zhou used his own relevant aspect for the first time, forcibly performing the ability of 'preaching', and injected a trace of the power of the divine power 'Eternal Innovation' into Ansonte's body, lurking in the deepest part of his soul.

This power belongs to inheritance, benefits, and buff states in a sense, so it should not be eliminated.

Because this usage was the first time the youth had used it, he was not sure of the weight, and that pioneer proxy was considered his test product.

As for the effect... at least now, Su Zhou can still vaguely feel that in the endless distant spacetime, there is such a 'seed of true meaning'.

He can even sense a trace of 'congratulatory' meaning in the other party's heart.

The youth was very satisfied with this.

"When this seed takes shape in the future, I will probably be able to intervene in the Pioneer Space from the side, and see how this creation left by the pioneer to change the future of the multiverse actually operates."

Although there is already Jiu Ming, a known explorer, in his old home of Earth, Su Zhou is too embarrassed to attack acquaintances like sea cucumber lolis, feeling like he is bullying a child.

What's more, Jiu Ming is just a point, and the range he can contact is limited. Also, sometimes, compared to others' descriptions, which may not be true or false, have misunderstandings and omissions, how can it be as clear and reliable as going there to see for yourself?

Know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated. The more you know about your competitor's methods, the better.

Naturally, this 'Seed of Eternal Innovation' actually carries a bit of the ability to subtly change other people's temperament. This is probably derived from the Demonic Dao essence of the Evil-Devouring Demon Lord divine power. Anyway, Su Zhou doesn't care about this; as long as the effect is good.

In short, the seed has been planted, just waiting for it to grow.

Now, compared to caring about this, there is something more worthy of Su Zhou's attention.

"Yala, just now, did the Lord of Stillness take action?"

Walking slowly forward, approaching the Source Water Soul, Su Zhou narrowed his eyes. He raised his head, his eyes seeming to be able to see the situation above the deep sea and the sky, beyond the world.

The youth said in an assertive tone: "Just now, it was definitely the Lord of Stillness who took action, delaying the return of that guy who was being transmitted by the Pioneer. Otherwise, the seed I left behind couldn't have been so perfect."

In the soul space, the snake spirit nodded slightly: "Indeed, He took action. The Pioneer's guiding light should have ignored time and directly pulled the Pioneer proxy away, but in the end, it left a second of time."

"Why?"

"This is His world, the land of eternal reincarnation—the Lord of Stillness allows everyone to enter reincarnation, allows them to use all means to break the reincarnation, and cheers for the transcendence of the successful..."

"However, if you join it but cannot break the reincarnation, and fail to withdraw, then wanting to leave is not so simple."

Yala's tone was intriguing.

And Su Zhou also nodded thoughtfully.

He recalled all kinds of cause-and-effect cycles in myths and legends, where immortals who had originally transcended the mortal world once again fell into the mundane world for some reason, and were even forced to undergo reincarnation.

Immediately, the youth suddenly understood: "I see, I understand."

"Indeed, since you have chosen to delve into reincarnation and get involved in cause and effect, then if you cannot transcend it, you must also walk in the mortal world yourself, and you are destined to pay the price!"

"Just like myself!"

That is, the pioneers of the Pioneer Space are protected by the power of the Pioneer. Otherwise, Su Zhou can completely imagine that after existences from other worlds come to the Samsara World and get involved in the cause and effect and events of this world, but fail to break the shackles that swept over them and transcend reincarnation, then when they finally want to leave this world, they will definitely be entangled by countless curses, vows, and even other powers, and can only fall into it forever, until the next transcendence.

Just like Su Zhou himself—he entered the Samsara World twice. If he hadn't restarted the era for the first time and transcended the cyclical elemental reincarnation, then I'm afraid the final result would not have been too good.

This time, it is also the same. At the beginning, Su Zhou was entangled by the chains of vows in his personal space. He returned to this world, and if he wanted to leave without breaking something old, he had to pay the price.

"...Perhaps the reason why the Lord of Stillness accepts everyone is precisely because of this."

Now Su Zhou can be said to be more knowledgeable about the Samsara World than anyone else!

And at this moment, the youth who was sighing suddenly sensed a violent fluctuation coming from the distant sea area.

Continuous huge vibrations came from the sea, accompanied by intense and dazzling light, like countless meteors dragging flames into the sea. The huge waves even affected the deep sea, causing the mountains on the seabed to tremble.

And in the process of this tremor, the last Sea Emperor, the Wandering Sea Sea Emperor Edan, declared death. Su Zhou could sense that the aura of an overlord dissipated and turned into nothingness.

Su Zhou was not surprised by this. Elias, as the Lord of Fire, is not affected by any illusions or water power, and completely countered Edan's mental control ability. The reason why it took him so long to eliminate the other party was probably just to clean up the house and punish this apostate.

Laughing softly, the youth raised his head, looked at the crystal mountain in front of him, and then walked forward slowly.

And as Su Zhou stepped forward, the seawater automatically separated a path, and the water elemental essence dancing in the deep sea spontaneously moved away, forming an arched tunnel leading directly to the Source Water Soul.

Unlike the Sea Kings and Sea Emperors who needed to induce elemental imbalance to approach the Source Water Soul with the help of the power of heaven and earth, as a true Sea Emperor, a powerhouse of the overlord level, Su Zhou's treatment was naturally different.

It can be seen that the elemental vortex that originally shrouded the crystal mountain, used to block all those with ulterior motives, is now slowly subsiding. Under Su Zhou's will, the vortex maze that lasted for hundreds of years completely stopped operating, completely exposing the Source Water Soul it guarded behind it.

Why?

Very simple.

In terms of cause and effect, Su Zhou is the creator of the four elemental hearts of the Tartadis world in this era. In other words, he is like an old father.

Afterwards, the four elemental hearts derived the four elemental souls, and the Source Water Soul is one of them.

In other words, Su Zhou is simply the old grandfather of the Source Water Soul who has been lost for four hundred years.

Does the grandfather need any rituals and procedures to see his grandson?

What's more, this grandfather is strong and powerful, his arm muscles are bigger than his grandson's thighs, and he can lift him up and beat him with one hand.

Boom! With a roar, without having to look for a road, the road automatically appeared in front of Su Zhou.

On the crystal mountain, which is entirely condensed from high-purity water elements, a straight path suddenly appeared, leading directly to its center. Stepping over such a smooth and direct road, Su Zhou went deep into the crystal mountain and saw the Source Water Soul hidden in its center.

——Misty mist, swirling water, condensed ice crystals.

The crystal-clear ice-blue crystal light shone in the deep seabed, in the deepest part of the Seven Seas, in the center of the Ming Si Sea. An elemental soul that everyone in the Samsara World had been pursuing for hundreds of years finally revealed its true appearance at this moment.

That was a mass about the size of a person, almost invisible and intangible, repeating the three-phase cycle of solid, gaseous, and liquid, of light blue mist. It emitted a glittering light, performing self-transformation and rotation, showing a sacred and mysterious meaning, as if implying endless reincarnation.

——As expected of the elemental soul of the Lord of Stillness world, it really has characteristics!

Standing at the end of the crystal path, Su Zhou looked at the water soul. He couldn't help but sigh, and then he was ready to take action to adjust and completely resolve the current elemental imbalance in the Samsara World.

Although, with the death of all the water gods, the elemental imbalance in the entire Samsara World has been greatly alleviated, it would probably take more than ten years for it to calm down naturally. Su Zhou used the water soul to speed it up, and it could be shortened to ten days.

However, just as the youth stretched out his hand and touched the water soul, he suddenly let out a light sigh.

"What's going on? There's actually some will regenerating in here?"

Narrowing his eyes, Su Zhou became serious at this time. Qing-purple light spots slowly rose all over his body, and a spiritual light lit up in his eyes, and he began to examine in all directions.

Then, he realized that there were six imprints in this water soul.

And in each imprint, there was a will faintly being conceived and regenerated.

There is no doubt that these six imprints represent the six water gods who were killed before.

After a rough investigation, Su Zhou suddenly understood: "So, just like how I can be resurrected by relying on the inheritance of divine powers after I achieved the Earth Immortal, the water gods were killed, so as long as the water soul is not destroyed, they can also slowly regenerate through the water soul."

"It seems that in the past reincarnation of the Samsara World, those gods who died in the previous era could be resurrected at the end of this era, and the gods competed for the future of the next era, relying on this kind of resurrection ability entrusted to the elemental soul."

Just like in the last era, the water god and the wind god were revived at the end of the earth era, and then launched a competition.

It was not difficult to understand, Su Zhou slightly compared the information he knew, and deduced the reason and process of the resurrection.

Then, he raised his head and looked at the empty dome of the crystal mountain. The youth muttered to himself in an intriguing tone: "Lord of Stillness."

"Is this reincarnation?"

Naturally, there was no reply.

Neither the response of the gray fog nor the voice from the distant end appeared.

But Su Zhou chuckled lightly. He lowered his head, looked at the water soul in front of him, and fell into silence.

With Su Zhou's power, let alone erasing the water god's will imprint remaining in the water soul, he could easily destroy the water soul completely.

But, what's the benefit of destroying the water soul? Before a new water soul is conceived by the four elemental hearts, the elements of the entire world will fall into a brief imbalance. At that time, continuous droughts, floods, and various climate anomalies will kill millions or even tens of millions of people.

Forcibly erasing the will imprint, although less harmful, will also have an impact on the world.

But if left unchecked, the six evil water gods who achieved their positions as pirates will be resurrected in the distant future.

Until the end of the era, or the birth of a new water god, erases their imprints.

In a sense, this is a reincarnation... In the distant past, the rebirth and death of the water god were such cycles.

Su Zhou didn't want to become a new water god and be forcibly left in the Samsara World by the Lord of Stillness, nor did he want to just find someone and make him a god, just to erase these imprints. This was inconsistent with his original purpose of releasing the water god as a bait to guide the civilization forward.

What's more, there is no need to forcibly erase it.

"If it's reincarnation, I'll break it."

After thinking for a long time, considering how to solve this problem, Su Zhou suddenly had a good idea in his mind.

He laughed: "The water gods have been completely wiped out. Even if they are resurrected, they are just existences with their evil shadows... In that case, instead of destroying them, it is better to transform them."

"Transforming them is also a kind of innovation!"

Only reincarnation can deal with reincarnation. At this time, an evil soul that can just cope with the current situation appeared in Su Zhou's mind.

The evil soul of the King of Heavenly Demons from Planet Qingqiu, Deus ex Machina, the King of Heavenly Demons!

[Evil Soul of the Six Paths of Demons]

[Forged using special techniques, it can be cast into the 'Six Paths - Tribulation of All Living Beings' Soul Sword]

[Harmonized using special techniques. After taking it, you can obtain the inheritance of the 'Six Paths Tribulation True Method', which greatly increases the degree of 'Destiny' erosion]

The evil soul of the King of Heavenly Demons, because swallowing it would increase the degree of destiny erosion, which sounded very bad, so Su Zhou had never swallowed or used it, but placed it next to the soul space, letting the wisdom tree spirit help take care of it.

However, he already knew the abilities possessed by this evil soul.

Not to mention obtaining the inheritance of the so-called 'Six Paths Tribulation True Method', if this evil soul is cast into the 'Six Paths - Tribulation of All Living Beings' Soul Sword, holding this soul weapon, one can use a part of the Six Paths divine powers to transform souls and generate Six Paths puppets.

Su Zhou didn't intend to transform the will imprints left by the water gods into Six Paths puppets. This kind of thing was beyond his bottom line—even Su Zhou's bottom line could be surpassed, so you can imagine how evil this method is.

In short, he intended to borrow the power of the Six Paths True Method to transform the resurrection ability brought about by the Source Water Soul's will imprint, so that the remnants of these water gods could contribute to all living beings and make up for the sins they committed in the past.

In this way, it can be regarded as everyone being happy. If in the distant future, all the sins are redeemed, and all living beings forgive their actions, then it will not be too late to be resurrected as ordinary people.

The so-called innovation is to admit mistakes, change mistakes, and then eradicate mistakes. Destruction is certainly also a method of eradication, but unless it is absolutely necessary, when facing stubborn deadly enemies, there is no need to use it specifically.

Thinking this way in his heart, Su Zhou scanned his soul space, looking for the existence of the King of Heavenly Demons' evil soul.

"Huh, where did it run off to?"

But to his surprise, as the master of the soul space, he didn't even find where the evil soul of the King of Heavenly Demons was after such a rough scan.

What a strange thing!

"Wisdom Tree, where did the black evil soul that I gave you to preserve run off to?"

Thinking this way, the youth asked his little sapling.

Located in the center of the soul space, the cyan-white wisdom tree spirit immediately shuddered after hearing Su Zhou's doubtful voice—but soon, it excitedly shook its branches, and then proudly pointed in a direction, and responded loudly: "Grass!"

"Grass?"

Somewhat inexplicably, Su Zhou followed the direction pointed by the wisdom tree spirit and looked at a corner of his soul space.

Then, he exclaimed: "Grass!"

It was not a sigh, nor was it Japanese, and it was not the fourth tone, it was a substantive description.

Because, in that direction of the soul space, there really was a lush meadow, emitting a dim spiritual light.

And among them, the brightest spirit grass was releasing a weak, almost imperceptible evil soul aura.
