Chapter 443 You Said It, So It Is, No Arguing (5400, Second Update)

Yala's reprimand was not in any language, but an invisible thought, a pure telepathic impulse.

Responding to this impulse, a hazy gray mist floated above the firmament, concentric ripples shimmering, transforming into a distant phantom.

The thought of the Lord of Silence, descending from the endless other side, transmitted from within.

[I did nothing. This is his karma with this world.]

Interspersed with rumbling spiritual sounds, calm and gentle. It wasn't devoid of emotion, but vast and gentle like the ocean, like the universe, distant and tranquil. The voice came from the void beyond somewhere unknown:

[The New World Crystal taken from this world, the 'Inner World' forged from it, inherently share the same origin as this New Era world, and are interconnected.]

[In the past, at the beginning of the era, Su Zhou left holding the position of pioneer of the New Era, and the world had no time to derive connections. But now, he has returned again, echoing the power of this world's wishes, coupled with the resonance of the world, naturally, it will cause the current result.]

"Saying it so nicely, aren't you just trying to poach me – don't you know how to find a suitable dependent yourself?!"

To this rather hollow explanation, the Serpent Spirit merely wagged its tail angrily, expressing disdain.

Faced with Yala's accusation, the Lord of Silence did not continue to explain.

Just like His venerated name, He remained silent.

But His meaning was very clear – you said it, so it is, no arguing.

"So that's how it is."

Su Zhou stroked Yala, appeasing the angry Serpent Spirit, and then placed it back on his head.

Now, he understood what was going on.

In general, Su Zhou's personal space did indeed have an origin connection with the world of Samsara (reincarnation) – the New World Crystal that opened up personal space originated from the world of Samsara, and they are essentially brothers.

In addition, Su Zhou was indeed one of the pioneers who opened up the New Era of the world of Samsara, so after the world of the New Era developed, naturally, a large amount of wish power and spiritual power would spontaneously surge towards him personally, and his personal space.

This was the blessing from the world itself, and it would of course make Su Zhou's personal space grow and even improve its internal circulation, making it perfect... But by the same token, this cause and effect and essential connection locked Su Zhou's personal space in this place, like an attached plane of the world of Samsara, making it difficult to leave.

– Of course, most importantly, the Lord of Silence also seemed to intend to rely on this relationship to keep him here.

In the end, when Su Zhou was about to leave the world of Samsara, the Lord of Silence planned to use the essence of the world element to make Su Zhou stay. This was not the first time this had happened.

And thinking about it carefully, if it really came to poaching, apart from the God Tree being more Buddhist, every great existence he had encountered seemed to have sent him an invitation?

No, wait... In the case of the God Tree World, he seemed to have taken the initiative to request to take on the identity of the King of the Pan Rong Undead Tree God Tree?

– It's really strange, why did I suddenly become so popular? I couldn't feel it before...

After thinking for a long time, Su Zhou, unable to find the answer, couldn't help but sigh, "As expected of me!"

"That's all you have to say?"

At this moment, Yala, lying on Su Zhou's head, patted Su Zhou's head with its tail, and said, "You were just an ordinary person back then, but now you are already a Hegemon Earth Immortal, and you clearly have the potential to advance to higher and stronger levels in the future... Do you still think you can compare to what you were before?"

"Moreover, because you are my Pactbinder, the highest level of the Godchosen, you naturally have your own avatars in multiple worlds... Do you understand? Su Zhou, you don't represent an individual now, but the source prototype of 'Primordial Candle Dragon', 'Undying Dragon Prototype' and other extraordinary individuals! Your value is much greater than you were back then! That's why these guys are running out now to invest in you."

"Anyway, compared to their goals, the power invested in you is just a drop in the bucket, so why not?"

The Lord of Silence had been silent all along, only the spiritual sound from the distant other side echoed.

Only after Yala finished speaking did He speak, as if acknowledging it.

[The Great Seal is the result of the 'War of Righteousness'. As you can see, all the great existences you can meet within it are the defeated in that past war.]

[The seal is about to break, and the day all the great existences break out of the seal will be the day this multiverse, which serves as the seal, is destroyed.]

[Of course, not all great existences want to go out, such as myself.]

[But there are indeed those who want to break through the seal, such as the Pioneer.]

[I don't mind being sealed, but the Pioneer's actions have disrupted this multiverse, which should have been peaceful for a long time. ]

[His self-imposed seal, although it has delayed the chain collapse of the multiverse, calculated based on the base time point of the 'core universe', twenty-five years later, his dependents continue to be active, then everything will fall into unpredictable chaos, which is not in line with my goal.]

[I need to protect my surviving people, so that they are not troubled by this unwarranted disaster – so now, I do need an agent to do some things to ensure that the development of things can be within my reincarnation.]

Afterwards, the Lord of Silence no longer spoke, but His meaning was already very clear.

In this regard, without saying anything more, Su Zhou also understood: because he had led the humans of the world of Samsara beyond the cycle of elemental reincarnation, he was favored by the Lord of Silence.

Everything proved that those who had the potential to transcend reincarnation were within the observation range of the Lord of Silence.

Similarly, his code of conduct, in some respects, also met the requirements of the Pioneer and Destiny at the same time... Whether it was the idea of ​​constantly moving forward or the idea of ​​regulating the world with his own heart, in a sense, as long as he continued, it would not be surprising to become the top agent of these great beings.

Therefore, they would, more or less, actively or passively, invite him to join them.

But for Yala, it was a frequent poaching campaign.

The main reason why Yala reacted so strongly this time was that the Lord of Silence was the first great existence to take actual poaching action – even Destiny was just a dream conversation, which could not be taken seriously.

However, Su Zhou could also feel that the Lord of Silence was not forcing him.

The so-called agent was someone who could act like the great existence himself. Without genuine recognition and following, agreeing with the other party's ideas, it could not be forced. Brainwashing was meaningless.

At this moment, on Su Zhou's head, Yala was staring at the misty phantom of the Lord of Silence in the distance, and the misty phantom of the Lord of Silence was also silent, floating uncertainly.

"But I'm a little strange."

Su Zhou raised his head, and while Yala and the Lord of Silence seemed to be confronting each other, the young man asked with a matter-of-fact expression, "Why must you choose one side?"

He spoke eloquently, breaking the silent confrontation: "Yala is indeed good to me, and I very much agree with Yala's ideas, especially the point that he supports me not agreeing with his ideas. I think no great existence can compare to that."

"And the Lord of Silence's idea of ​​transcending reincarnation, although it is not humane, I also completely agree that it is a correct idea from a macro perspective."

Speaking of this, Su Zhou spread out his hands, and he said very cheerfully: "Then why can't you invest in me at the same time? This is not a conflicting thing. Cooperation of one plus one is greater than two, a win-win-win situation!"

[...]

"?"

The Lord of Silence was as silent as ever.

Yala used its tail to form a big '?' sign.

In response, Su Zhou took Yala from his head and placed it on his arm. The young man faced the Serpent Spirit and said sincerely: "Yala, look."

"You think highly of me, and the Lord of Silence also thinks highly of me. Rounding up, doesn't that mean you and the Lord of Silence both think highly of each other? How wonderful is that – and it sounds like the Lord of Silence's purpose seems to be the same as ours, for some reason, wanting to delay the awakening time of other great existences. Doesn't this further prove that we are indeed in the same group?"

"Since we are all in the same group, why must we choose one of the two? Can't I have them all?"

"The reasoning is correct!"

The enraged Yala stretched out its tail and slapped Su Zhou's cheeks: "But obviously, I don't think it will work!"

Su Zhou wanted to say something more, but at this moment, accompanied by an echo that might be laughter, the Lord of Silence's phantom had begun to recede.

[Is this your active invitation to me?]

[But the connection between your Inner World and the world of Samsara is a matter of course. I really didn't do anything.]

[Moreover, I have discovered that you are not Yala's dependent... but his Pactbinder. You are not a Walker of the Path of Chaos, nor are you a derivative of Yala.]

[You are an independent existence.]

[Since that's the case, Su Zhou, if you invite me, I will respond – as long as you let me witness your Dao.]

Rumbling sounds dissipated into the void, and the Lord of Silence's traces faded from the world of Samsara, leaving only a faint aftersound and thought-provoking messages.

[Pactbinder of Chaos, walk in the world... Let all people witness with me how you will act in this world.]

Soon, the light of the endless concentric circles completely dissipated, and the mist projected by the Lord of Silence also dissipated.

Only one person and one snake were left standing in the sky above the sea of ​​the world of Samsara, and rolling clouds flowed under their feet.

"...How about it, Yala? Was my answer good?"

After waiting for a while, when all the aura of the Lord of Silence had dissipated, Su Zhou communicated with Yala in his heart with a rather smug expression: "To be honest, the purpose of the Lord of Silence is indeed similar to our purpose, so why not try to join forces?"

"It's indeed not bad. Our cooperation is indeed perfect."

Yala, who had originally looked very puffed up and angry, only looked angry on the surface at this time. His inner tone was calm, and he climbed back to Su Zhou's head.

The Serpent Spirit shook its tail thoughtfully: "The Lord of Silence has always been a neutralist. He often cooperates with other great existences – with Destiny, and with my cooperation. Because the 'transcendence of reincarnation' he essentially upholds is correct and does not contradict the ideas of most great existences, his sense of existence is very strong, and even his derivatives of existence are very powerful in many worlds. No matter what type of mythology, there will always be some related derivatives."

"Now, cooperating with the Lord of Silence again is nothing. He has never been the kind of person who would betray allies... But what confuses me is the Lord of Silence's 'goal itself.'"

"Goal? Isn't it to protect his people?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou asked back with a strange expression: "The Lord of Silence himself said it. He doesn't seem like a liar."

In fact, until now, Su Zhou had not seen any great existences, even Yala, lie... They would at most only state part of the truth and not talk about some truly ancient secrets in front of him.

It was almost impossible for great existences to lie to ordinary humans. That would be too embarrassing.

"If you just want to protect your people, anyone can protect them to some extent. But obviously, because of the Pioneer's actions, the Lord of Silence has changed his mind."

In this regard, Yala, who knew these old friends better, had a different view. He fell into deep thought: "His active appearance this time is actually a signal of invitation to me. His purpose may indeed be to protect his people, but it is definitely not just that."

Yala was still thinking about more complex things, analyzing every detail of what the Lord of Silence had done.

But Su Zhou was too lazy to think so much.

Yala and the Lord of Silence were old acquaintances. They were too familiar with each other, so they would seriously think about anything they said. But this time, as far as Su Zhou's accidental encounter was concerned, the Lord of Silence's meaning was already very clear.

– The matter of your personal space is a normal phenomenon. I did not deliberately urge it, so I will not help. You can solve it yourself.

– Whether to solve this matter himself, settle the karma with this world, and leave with a normalized personal space; or to temporarily give up this power from the world of Samsara and leave as a free agent, that was all Su Zhou's own freedom.

Specifically, it all depended on Su Zhou's own actions in the world of Samsara this time – even if he left his personal space in the world of Samsara, it would still be his personal space. It just couldn't be carried around.

"Anyway, the worst outcome is just that I have to carry the Tree of Wisdom back alone."

The current Su Zhou didn't care about this kind of trivial matter anymore. He had advanced to become an Earth Immortal, the only immortal god on Earth at the moment.

If he brought back a sacred tree from some 'immortal god relic', it would no longer be as sensational and tempting as it was at the beginning.

In other words, Su Zhou's strength was completely capable of guarding the Tree of Wisdom – at that time, whether he planted the Tree of Wisdom in Qingqiu Star or the Beast God Realm, it would be a good choice.

"No! It's good here!"

However, as soon as Su Zhou had this idea, it aroused the opposition of the spirit of the Tree of Wisdom in the soul space. It shook its branches vigorously, and it was obvious that it preferred its personal space, a good place completely dominated by it and where it dominated the scene.

What's more, this time, the personal space had super-evolved, and the Tree of Wisdom was like moving from an apartment in the city center to a seaside villa. It couldn't be more satisfied. If you wanted it to move, it would definitely be the first to refuse.

"Okay, okay, I will work hard to let you continue to live here – I'm just saying, in case, in case."

Comforting the Tree of Wisdom, Su Zhou shook his head slightly, sighed, and then slowly descended from the high altitude.

"As for now, let me see what's going on with these wish powers and how to cut them off."

Thinking this, he closed his eyes again in the middle of the descent, and his spirit began to extend.

The magical power of the Demon Lord of Devouring Evil was activated, causing Su Zhou's will to derive tentacles to touch the 'spiritual energy' and 'wish power' that locked his personal space in the world of Samsara – that is, huge chains intertwined with cyan-purple and gold in the spiritual vision.

The tentacles extended, and then, at the moment when his will and the chains overlapped.

Su Zhou heard the voices of countless prayers.

"Glory be to You, the Great Lord of Judgment, it is You who forged the cornerstone of law, the source of retribution!"

"Lord, Lord! Bring punishment upon that unrighteous man! He deceived all of us and used a forged lord's secret letter to swindle away all the medicines used by the village for epidemic prevention. Please, use divine punishment..."

"I repent, Lord of Judgment, I have sinned, I repent... I am willing to offer gold and gems, and beg for your forgiveness..."

"Death penalty! Death penalty! Death penalty! In the name of the Lord of Judgment, give these heretics at sea the death penalty!"

Countless layers upon layers of true and sincere prayers rang in his ears.

Su Zhou also saw figures in front of candles, in front of statues, and in front of altars.

They prayed, pleaded, repented, and appealed; they were calm, angry, hesitant, and fanatical.

Some were in front of exquisite and beautiful dragon statues, in quiet rooms filled with incense, with their hands clasped together, reciting scriptures piously, solemnly and harmoniously.

Some were in front of an empty old altar, constantly colliding their heads against the hard rocks, causing blood to flow horizontally, telling their own suffering numbly and desperately in the wind and snow.

Some, although they were still entangled with hot-bodied girls, surrounded by various dazzling gold and gem jewelry, and their faces were covered with bright red lip prints, were still panicked and unable to sleep all night, fearing that retribution would strike in the next moment and shatter all the beauty like a dream.

Some, even though they were on a merchant ship in the far sea, even though it was raining heavily, their bodies were covered with scars, and they only had a cold long knife with a broken edge and on the verge of breaking in their hands, their hearts were like a furnace with a fiery fire, fearlessly shouting the name of the righteous god in their hearts.

In an instant.

Su Zhou's spirit touched the wish power that bound his personal space in an instant, and then withdrew his will tentacles.

And with the withdrawal, there were also thousands of vague memories of the prayer.

Opening his eyes, the young man's expression became solemn.

"Lord of Judgment? Are they talking about me?"

His expression became a little strange: "It seems that it is indeed me... Isn't that statue the true body I first created in the world of Samsara? But at that time, I remember that I didn't have wings, right? When did they add them?"

"I... have become a god in this world?"

At this time, Su Zhou had landed on the sea.

He raised his head and looked at the distant city lights along the coast, and a rather complicated feeling poured into his heart: "It is estimated that the flow of time is not the same as in the God Tree World... How many years have passed in the world of Samsara? How are Elias and the Wind God now?"

"...I'm going to ask about the situation."

Thinking this, Su Zhou closed his eyes again and connected his spirit to the wish power.

Immediately, countless prayers and fantasies emerged and swarmed towards his mind.

If it were an ordinary transcendent, encountering such a huge collective surge of wish power, not to mention directly falling into madness, it would at least be equivalent to being subjected to an extremely effective mental heavy blow, and it would take at least ten days to recover.

But as a Hegemon-level powerhouse with a Heavenly Soul Karma position, Su Zhou's ability to withstand this aspect far surpassed all those of the same rank who did not follow the same path.

No matter how strong the mental attack was, could it be stronger than the collection of millions of heavenly demon souls? If it couldn't be done, it was immunity to Su Zhou.

Relying on his own strength, Su Zhou suppressed all the praying illusions in this wish power, and then filtered a large amount of wish power information based on the conditions of distance, strength, piety, and whether or not.

Then he realized that there were two rather bright sources of wish power around him, shining like the morning stars in the night sky.

Among them, one was on the land city, and the other was in the sea behind him – and the one on the land was brighter.

Without hesitation, Su Zhou quickly made a choice.

"It's you."

So he muttered to himself, Su Zhou transformed into a phantom and flew towards the land in the distance.
