Chapter 207 The Evil Order 7800 (Two Chapters Combined, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

The Beast God Realm is a legacy left by the Immortals and Gods?

Su Zhou casually killed a vicious beast roaring at him, then used its corpse to make a stool-like shape and sat down, while also monitoring the situation of the Beast God Realm's space-time channel.

This attitude of treating life as a tool, even the enemy's life, is truly very Demon Lord-like.

"You, without even realizing it, your actions are truly wickedly captivating..."

Yala blinked, not saying anything. Su Zhou, who also didn't find anything wrong, sat on the corpse and seriously thought about it, feeling that the theory was indeed quite normal.

As Immortals and Gods who could traverse worlds, it wouldn't be difficult for them to close the space-time channel in theory. The fact that they left a space-time channel leading to the Beast God Realm itself meant they wanted to leave it behind.

And according to the little bit of known information, there might be many Divine Beast bloodlines in the Beast God Realm—could it be a bloodline living storage of the Immortals and Gods back then? Although Su Zhou knew this guess wasn't right, he felt it seemed to be the case.

"Let me first look at the information inside the Peacock Evil Soul."

Thinking this, Su Zhou took out the Peacock Evil Soul he had stored in his soul space.

[Five-Colored Divine Bird, Peacock's Evil Soul]

[Formed from the power of a long-inherited ancient bloodline, a beast soul intent on becoming a hegemon]

[A beast king's soul that will climb at all costs]

[Directly consume to increase affinity for Five Elements spiritual power, enhance spiritual power control, and increase a certain degree of affinity for Five Elements objects]

[Spiritually refine to transform into 'Five Spirits, Five Colors' spirit attachment, attaching to all equipment and props]

[Use special techniques to forge, can be cast into a 'Divine Light, Five-Colored Feather' soul weapon]

[Use special techniques to harmonize, after taking, can obtain the inheritance of 'Five Elements Revolving Spiritual Art']

[A divine bird that was born knowing it was just a descendant of the defeated, its unwillingness and anger filling its proud soul]

[Will it obey the ancient proclamation, transform into a human, and acknowledge that superior education, or will it persist in its own path and never yield?]

[The path has already been chosen. The cage must be broken, and the shackles opened. If it is for this purpose, everything can be trampled underfoot]

Slightly raising his eyebrows, Su Zhou was a little surprised: "Unexpectedly, the Peacock actually has an inheritance?"

From awakening the Devouring Evil Demon Lord's divine power until now, Su Zhou had only encountered the National Teacher, who had an inheritance in his Evil Soul. Most ordinary Evil Souls could only condense a Soul Weapon, which was already pretty good.

According to Su Zhou's own analysis, if one wanted to condense an Evil Soul, then the enemy's strength must not be too much lower than his own. If it's lower by about half a major realm, the Evil Soul can't be condensed.

Increasing attributes and spirit attachment are basic, and also the standard for most Evil Souls—but it's not like Su Zhou can just find someone whose advancement is similar to his, kill them, and then get an Evil Soul. That doesn't work. It must be someone Su Zhou himself (with the Devouring Evil Demon Lord's divine power) considers an evil person, and who truly has a 'curse of resentment' to condense.

And the greater this curse and resentment, the higher the quality of the Evil Soul, and if it exceeds a certain limit, it can make the bonus obtained by the Evil Soul even better, even condensing a 'Soul Weapon.' And the Soul Weapon itself is similar to the weapon the original owner was good at or its own characteristics.

Of course, this so-called 'evil' may not just be pure killing, but its existence itself can affect a large part of fate and shift it in a direction that Su Zhou considers 'bad.'

Actually, Su Zhou himself guessed that the essence of the Evil Soul is actually the cursed evil thoughts wrapped around the soul. How many people hate the original owner, or are being influenced by the original owner's fate, this curse and evil thought will become a force in the dark, and Su Zhou's Devouring Evil Demon Lord's divine power can use the method of 'killing the original owner' to become the spokesperson of this force in the dark, turning them into Evil Souls for Su Zhou to devour.

In other words, the essence of the Devouring Evil Demon Lord's divine power is to turn Su Zhou into a human-shaped tribulation who autonomously accepts tasks. His actions and the existence of Evil Souls are the 'retribution' for evildoers.

This is the essence of the divine power that Su Zhou has speculated through his own deliberation. Although asking Yala didn't get an answer, it shouldn't be too different from the current point of view.

"Evil to the extreme can condense a Soul Weapon, but inheritance is different—inheritance means that the original owner must be evil enough, and that they have a breakthrough in some aspect of their path!"

Inheritance is something that can only be encountered by chance. Even if the enemy is terrifyingly strong, if they are just strong and haven't made their own unique breakthrough, then there won't be an inheritance in the Evil Soul—it's basically impossible to obtain bloodline divine powers unless the evildoer's breakthrough is in the bloodline divine power.

To be honest, unlike the National Teacher, Su Zhou didn't know much about the Peacock Divine Bird. The other party had just walked out of the space-time channel for about ten minutes before being killed by him. One spoke human language and the other spoke bird language, so there was indeed no way to communicate. The process of encountering and fighting was like a shooting game, emphasizing that if you encounter, you just fight. It's either you die or I live.

And during the battle, Su Zhou took advantage of the Peacock's carelessness and directly gave the other party a concussion with one hit. The divine bird didn't have time to fly up and was beaten to death, so he didn't feel it was too difficult.

Who knew that the other party was actually a pioneer who had made a certain breakthrough in the Five Elements Laws? This made Su Zhou quite emotional: "You never know how hard the Boss you defeated was working behind the scenes!"

The high quality of the Peacock's Evil Soul was actually something Su Zhou had already guessed when he learned that the other party was a Beast King from the Beast God Realm. He played with the five-colored Evil Soul that was condensed with a large amount of blood-colored curses and resentment, and couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "To be honest, I really want to know how the other party was evil—if it's just the law of the jungle, then I'll at most feel it's a bit cruel, but not feel it's evil. After all, they're just beasts."

As for the use of the Evil Soul, does that even need to be said? With his talent, Su Zhou, in a situation where he has an inheritance, does he still need to increase his affinity for Five Elements spiritual energy or attach spirits?

"Let me know, what kind of divine bird you were."

Without hesitation, Su Zhou cleared his mind, took a deep breath, and swallowed the Peacock's Evil Soul in one gulp—that ball of light that shone with the light of the Five Elements revolving.

In an instant, an unusually mellow sensation, intoxicating all the organs and soul, like a cocktail, mixed with the Peacock's long memories, surged from his mouth.

And the first thing that came to mind was countless dark hatred and despair, as if it came from bloodline memories.

——A giant divine tiger stood in the sky, proudly looking down on the entire world, and in the next instant, it transformed into a goddess with peerless beauty and a veiled heavenly posture. The dark aura of the Five Calamities and Destruction surrounded her.

Around the majestic Disaster Goddess stood countless Immortals and Gods. They expressionlessly overlooked the entire world, overlooking all the defeated weaklings, and then turned and left, leaving behind an extremely arrogant declaration.

[We will seal this world until your rites are the same as those of Kunlun]

[Beasts that do not distinguish between good and evil, when you are willing to be human, you will know our benevolence]

They arrived without permission, started wars without permission, initiated education without permission, and then left without permission, sealing their world… Those Immortals and Gods taught all the ignorant beasts in this world what 'family,' 'race,' and 'civilization' were, telling them the difference between 'human' and 'beast.' They left behind rituals and inherited classics for education, and then left in a hurry, like a painful and beautiful dream.

But before there was time to experience the taste of this beauty and pain, what soon followed was the weakening of the spiritual energy of the entire world.

From the moment of birth, the Peacock had been experiencing this black, named 'shame,' anger inherited from its ancestors through bloodline. The divine bird that was defeated by the old Immortals and Gods was not unable to bear failure, it just couldn't bear that taken-for-granted superiority, and couldn't understand the meaning of the other party sparing the lives of them, the defeated.

Being defeated, but not being eaten, this behavior that violated their instincts made them feel a deep sense of unease and confusion.

However, compared to the shame and anger of their ancestors, the Peacock had to face a world that was gradually dying.

[The various secret techniques in the bloodline cannot be used at all in an environment without high concentrations of spiritual energy. The Five-Colored Divine Light is the supreme divine power, but when everyone can't use any high-powered spells, what's the difference between it and trash?]

Compared to the bloodline memories that flashed like fleeting light, what Su Zhou felt most clearly was the Peacock Divine Bird's thinking about its clan's bloodline divine powers for hundreds of years.

[My clan is born a master of the Five Elements power. In the past, even manipulating five kinds of spiritual techniques at the same time was no problem, but in this era of weakened spiritual energy, being able to use one spell is already pretty good. How is it possible to release five spells at the same time? We can only specialize in one spiritual technique for cultivation to compete with other races.]

[But in that case, it would be a waste of my clan's talent… there must be a better, better method that can utilize our talents… so that I can transform one spell into ten thousand spells.]

Compared to the arrogance, carelessness, and contempt shown before, what Su Zhou could see in his memory at this time was a careful, calm divine bird that was constantly researching spiritual techniques.

It tried little by little, researched… using one kind of spell to realize the transformation of five kinds of spiritual energy. This kind of secret technique of 'Five Elements Revolving' did indeed have theoretical possibilities. After all, the Five Elements generate and overcome each other. Wood generates fire, fire generates earth, earth generates metal, metal generates water, and water generates wood, it's that simple, and the Five Elements revolve.

But this is as unreliable as saying that putting an elephant in the refrigerator only takes three steps: open the refrigerator door, put the elephant in, and close the refrigerator door. For the Peacock to do this, it's like creating a refrigerator big enough to fit an elephant.

But it succeeded.

[——The mechanism of creation cannot be without life, nor can it be without control.]

[The Five Elements are those that move in heaven and earth without end. The Five Elements revolve, the way of generating, developing, controlling, and stopping. Without generation, there is no origin. Without control, there is harm.]

[Qi is the root of heaven and earth, using emptiness for function, dividing myriad spirits according to nature. Collect the life mechanism of living beings as Qi, bear the five Qi in the chest, transform into five feathers outside the body. One Qi runs through it, can control five paths with one god, derive five spirits from one law, travel around heaven and earth and control the Five Elements, transform all things and nurture spirits.]

By merging the knowledge of countless ancestors and adding persistent efforts, the Peacock finally created its own unique Five Elements Revolving Method.

And all of this was understood by Su Zhou.

The essence of the 'Five Elements Revolving Spiritual Art' is a helpless compromise. The Peacock Divine Bird, which was born with all five elements, originally didn't need any spiritual arts to control the surrounding Five Elements spiritual energy with a single thought. Even if it was just brute force gathering spiritual power and pressing over, it would be respectfully called 'Great Five Elements Destruction Divine Light' by the enemy.

But in the era of weakened spiritual energy, even divine birds must master techniques, and the Five Elements Revolving Spiritual Art developed by the Peacock Divine Bird can be used to transform one kind of spiritual energy into another kind of generating spiritual energy at any time—for example, if Su Zhou's spiritual power is fire, then he can transform it according to the sequence of fire generating earth, earth generating metal, metal generating water. His previous punch could still blast people into pieces with Yala's Blast Fist, and the next time he could quickly transform it into a Central Thick Earth Rock Wall Technique that was so solid that even missiles couldn't blast it apart.

To give a simpler example: One second Su Zhou is still calling wind and rain and striking lightning, and the next second he can transform the wind and thunder power, which belongs to wood, into violent flames through the Five Elements Revolving, and blast over an extremely effective big fireball—now the enemy who prepared a Faraday cage to defend against electricity is dumbfounded, and after they hurriedly extinguish the fire with water magic, Su Zhou starts to control the earth and rocks to cast earth magic.

Who can withstand this?

This kind of Five Elements Revolving is useful for the Divine Bird Peacock. It can quickly switch to spells with greater effects when frantically bombarding with the Five Elements Divine Light. After all, spiritual energy has now recovered, and it doesn't need to revolve to control the Five Elements spiritual power at the same time.

But even for divine birds, adding this spiritual art will make its spell control stronger, its power greater, and its adaptability stronger—this can be said to be a great advantage in battles of the same level.

"Unexpectedly, it's really a guy with great perseverance and determination… No wonder it can become the king of birds."

After swallowing the Evil Soul, Su Zhou had already understood the inheritance of this 'Five Elements Revolving Spiritual Art.'

And he also roughly understood the situation of the Beast God Realm behind this space-time channel.

At this time, the image of Peacock Divine Birds appeared in Su Zhou's mind, their anxieties and thoughts at different periods, as well as its exchanges with other Beast Kings.

[Our world is gradually heading towards destruction. The Immortals and Gods have sealed our channels with the outside world, and the refined beasts are multiplying more and more, and the world is about to be unable to bear it.]

[Unless we self-castrate, kill most of the beast people, as well as some of the descendants of divine beasts who occupy most of the extraordinary resources, and release some spiritual energy to return to heaven and earth, otherwise, our world will eventually enter a true Dharma Ending Era. This is our only choice other than migrating outward—but most of the beast people are servant species, although humble, they are the foundation. Killing them will cause our civilization to collapse.]

[We must migrate outwards, expand outwards… but all possibilities leading to the outside world are blocked by the Immortals and Gods. As the defeated, we are just poultry raised in the world…]

[As long as we are willing to obey the teachings of the Immortals and Gods and become 'humans,' the Dharma Seals they left behind will be activated and the seal will be lifted… Is this their purpose, to make us so-called 'humans,' so-called 'demons'…]

Silence, and then the dark hatred condensed in the bloodline.

[Absolutely… not!]

[We are divine birds—we will never yield!]

Thousands of years ago, Immortals and Gods from unknown places accidentally encountered the 'Beast God Realm,' which nurtured a large number of divine beasts and exotic beasts. Under the leadership of the Great Celestial Venerable of the Western Mother, they defeated the strongest in this world, a powerful giant tree in the sea that called itself the 'Life Lord,' and ruled this world.

The Life Lord fell silent, and many other divine beasts who lived ignorantly like wild beasts received the teachings of the Immortals and Gods.

They were given names and divided into five categories: 'Naked, Scaled, Furry, Feathered, and Insects.' And within the five categories, they were divided into races according to similar races. This was something that 'wild beasts' living ignorantly had never understood before.

From that day on, they had families, had races, and knew the existence of civilization—but the arrogant message left by the Immortals and Gods before leaving declared that only humans, only Immortals and Gods were the true civilizations. They didn't have time to slowly educate these beasts, but if one day, the beasts followed their rites and became humans, then the Beast God Realm could regain its freedom.

But the divine beasts who had gained wisdom were stubbornly attached to their bloodline memories to an unimaginable degree… If they were just simple wild beasts, they would probably have surrendered long ago, but the teachings of the Immortals and Gods allowed the wild beasts to gain wisdom and become intelligent life, and the divine beasts who knew honor, knew good and evil, and knew rites and civilization, could not admit the shame of this defeat.

Even if the civilization of the Immortals was clearly superior to them, it was the same. They would rather start from scratch and develop their own unique civilization than acknowledge the civilization of the Immortals and Gods who invaded their world.

Sitting in front of the space-time channel, Su Zhou frowned, staring at the black giant hole in front of him, which hadn't had any vicious beasts emerging for a long time… No, those weren't vicious beasts. According to the memory in the Peacock, the so-called vicious beasts were just members of their unique racial hierarchy, the 'servant class.'

The so-called servant class was divided into 'dedicated species' and 'servant species.' Dedicated species were races that had their intelligence castrated, grew extremely fast, and could quickly grow into delicious food. Most of them were specially cultivated races such as rabbits among the land animals, chickens among the birds, and seaweed in the sea.

And servant species were these vicious beasts. The vicious beasts had their intelligence castrated, and only had instinct and obedience. They could perform various heavy physical disturbances, carry out mining, planting, harvesting, combat cannon fodder, and also the 'blood food' for higher races to perform various special formations, or special needs.

Above this was the 'production class.' Starting from this class, they had intelligence and were not regarded as food, but as members of the Beast God Realm civilization, refined beasts. Most of them produced some secondary processing industries, such as processing the ore mined by the servants into refined iron and weapons, and manufacturing various products. They were mostly civilians, and those with stronger strength or whose processing standards reached a master craftsman could become citizens.

Further up was the 'combat intelligence species,' or the 'warrior class.' They didn't engage in production, but accepted the offerings of the servants and the production class. They possessed clear intelligence and strong combat skills, and were the main members of the army and the main force in suppressing the lower classes. They were born citizens.

The highest was the 'supreme class,' that is, the divine beasts like the Peacock Divine Bird, who possessed special bloodlines, special divine powers, mastered bloodline inheritance, could continue to prosper, and mastered civilization and martial power.

Originally, there should have been a 'Life Lord class' above that, that is, the giant tree that was said to grow in the sea in the original Beast God Realm. Its existence nurtured the ecological cycle of the Beast God Realm, and all life relied on its existence—it wasn't that all things offered to it, but its existence allowed all things to survive, so it was the Life Lord of all things.

But after the Life Lord was defeated by the Immortals and Gods, it fell into silence and had never awakened. And after so many years since the spiritual energy weakened, it was estimated that it was impossible to awaken.

“…The Beast God Realm might really be a legacy left to us by the Immortals and Gods.”

After watching all the information left in the Peacock Evil Soul, even Su Zhou, this kind of argumentative person, could only admit this point: "Whether the beasts in the Beast God Realm are willing to become humans, or whether they insist on their own civilization, their existence has preserved most of the Mimesis Dao bloodlines that we have currently lost."

"A closed ecological environment can keep bloodlines unchanged, this is something that has been proven."

However, what made Su Zhou frown was not this information.

"If the Peacock is said to be evil, then it is indeed evil. In order to test its spiritual arts, it used countless servant species or lower species as experimental materials, and the so-called 'collecting the life mechanism of living beings as Qi' is, to put it bluntly, using sacrificial rituals to condense the life spiritual energy of many servant species to condense special extraordinary organs for itself that are convenient for converting spiritual energy. This is no different from the Coen Brotherhood grabbing people for void transactions and exchanging for immortal blood with Yala."

The essence of the Five Elements Revolving Spiritual Art is to additionally create a special organ, 'Five Spirits Colored Plume,' that is big enough to fit an elephant to facilitate the conversion of spiritual energy. It is a special-grade spiritual power organ comparable to the Thunder Swamp Heart, and even True Dragons will die if they are not careful with the Thunder Swamp Heart. In the process of trying it out, it's unknown how many lives the Five Spirits Colored Plume will harm.

In theory, Su Zhou wouldn't feel anything wrong because the enemy was wantonly killing their own people—he himself is also a Demon Lord who will kill a vicious beast and use its corpse as a stool. It's still too difficult for him to pity the enemy.

Moreover, according to the civilization situation of the Beast God Realm, this kind of thing is completely normal… Whether it's the Peacock who kills the beasts, or those beasts who are killed, they probably won't feel anything wrong.

But for some reason, Su Zhou just felt that this was wrong.

This is evil.

"What exactly does the Devouring Evil Demon Lord use to judge good and evil… It says it's based on my own discretion, but it can judge whether an Evil Soul exists before I even know about it—when I didn't know if the Peacock was a vicious beast, and I didn't even recognize it, and didn't understand its past, it had already told me that the other party was an extremely evil person."

Su Zhou stood up and slowly walked to the front of the black giant hole. His cyan-purple dragon eyes seemed to want to see through the space-time channel and gaze at the world on the other side: "The Peacock's persistence can even be said to be a civilization hero of the Beast God Realm—does that mean that civilization heroes of other races are evil to us?"

"That's not right either. What exactly is the evil I feel?"

"It's that this world is different from what you want."

Hanging on the ears of the confused Su Zhou, Yala lightly sucked a mouthful of blood. It said indifferently: "You are still too young in the end, Su Zhou. All your entanglements lie in this—the order of the Beast God Realm is different from what you want to see."

"You feel that this kind of order itself is a kind of evil, and that the existence of this kind of world and civilization itself is a kind of pain. The Peacock who fights for this, whether it is your enemy or not, you will regard it as evil because it is a supporter of this kind of order."

"Whether the beasts of the Beast God Realm are willing to become humans or not, you feel that there are better methods and better choices than the current situation… But the Peacock and its ancestors have created a very bad order."

The snake spirit lightly said to the Devouring Evil Demon Lord: "You are such a self-centered, arrogant guy who thinks his ideas are more correct than others—being your enemy is evil, wantonly killing innocents is evil, harming life is evil—chaos is certainly evil, but an imperfect order is also evil, and whether this order is perfect is up to you to decide."

——What a terrifying Chaos Divine Power, Su Zhou, you are worthy of being my contractor.

Yala, who was smiling, didn't see the troubled expression she expected on Su Zhou's face. He nodded and calmly admitted everything, even with a bit of epiphany.

"I see, I thought so."

He even laughed: "Actually, I don't care about the racial differences between humans, demons, or beasts, just like the Garuda outside. It probably thinks that if it doesn't choose to be a human, I will kill it, but that's not the case. I don't think there is anything worth caring about in this kind of meaningless thing—can a big bird that lives obediently and is raised by people be more evil than a murderer or a robber?"

"The ancient Immortals and Gods could even control genes and change their cell structure, turning from humans into trees, or even collective organisms. They could even leave information in their bloodlines. The genetic information that humans care about now is just something that could be arbitrarily rewritten and created at that time. As long as you embark on the path of the extraordinary, the ethics and morality that ordinary people care about are not worth mentioning in my eyes—just like the Immortals and Gods of the past, they didn't care about the difference between humans, demons, and beasts. As long as they were willing to accept their civilization, they were members of the 'human' race."

Saying this, Su Zhou's words gradually became heavy: "But this kind of order is different… This kind of order that castrates the wisdom of life, forcibly transforms them into servants and food, and fixes them step by step through bloodline inheritance, almost never changing, and never being flexible, I really hate—the Peacock insists on this kind of civilization because it is a divine beast, and is a supreme class that holds inheritance and power. Otherwise, how would it support it?"

"But Su Zhou, they do this, or it is precisely because of the invasion and seal of the Immortals and Gods." Yala also smiled slightly and argued: "There are not enough resources, there always has to be a solution. You descendants of the Immortals and Gods, is it a bit too high and mighty to criticize the Beast God Realm for the deformed order born from the Immortals and Gods?"

"Then what can I do? Do you have a time machine? These are all one-sided words of the Beast God Realm. Who knows what the truth was back then."

Su Zhou shook his head: "Moreover, I am not an Immortal and God. Besides, if it weren't for the teachings of the Immortals and Gods, the Beast God Realm would have wanted to understand what race and civilization were, and possess true meaning, it might have taken hundreds of thousands of years."

"And have those divine beasts who say beautiful words, are unwilling to become humans, and instead choose to independently establish a civilization, considered the thoughts of those beasts who have had their wisdom castrated and are destined to be servants for generations? What does their so-called racial glory and unwillingness, and their so-called civilization belonging to the Beast God Realm, have to do with those lives that are castrated, enslaved, sacrificed at will, and eaten at will by them?"

Saying this, Su Zhou even sneered, he raised his hand and waved it in front of him: "Forget it, what does the divine bird's resistance to the Immortals and Gods have to do with those ordinary spirit beasts who probably haven't even been defeated by the Immortals and Gods? In the end, the main body of this civilization is just those naturally powerful divine beasts, and we don't know what the other lives at the bottom are thinking—in my opinion, those lives are the main body of a civilization."

"The so-called evil is not unwilling to become human, this has nothing to do with good and evil. The real evil is choosing to become beasts, choosing this evil order, and shaping this kind of civilization—I will kill this kind of civilization if it wants to invade me, that's all."

After saying this, Su Zhou raised his hand, condensed a trace of thunder light, and then slowly looked at the thunder light in his hand, gradually transforming into raging fire. He narrowed his eyes slightly, and then smiled: "Let's not talk about it, I now think that this 'Five Elements Revolving Spiritual Art' is even more interesting than thinking about this kind of thing."

"Only with strength can you have the right to judge good and evil."

Soon, about forty minutes passed.

The black-red barrier that enveloped the outside of the sealed hall gradually disappeared because the energy of the great formation on the other side of the channel dissipated. At the same time, the other side of the space-time channel seemed to sense the aura of pressure deliberately released by Su Zhou. So far, not even a single vicious beast dared to come over.

At this moment, Su Zhou also felt a sense of space-time shift—the transfer formation from the official Zheng Guo had been activated. In the reconnected communicator, they were asking him if he needed to be teleported out of the secret realm immediately.

"No need, I'll continue to guard the space-time channel."

Staring at the space-time channel in front of him, which was gradually changing, Su Zhou clicked his tongue and replied to the communicator: "And there's no need to retreat either."

[Why?] Yan Sheng's avatar, who still didn't know the current situation and still felt that the situation was probably very dangerous, couldn't help but ask strangely.

"Because the black hole has turned white."
