Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 38 Conclusion and Exchange

“Not bad.”

“666!”

“Impressive, but who exactly gathered so many sea beasts?”

“Is this some kind of formation? Sea beasts wouldn't willingly help humans defend a city..."

The many viewers watching the news live stream burst into praise—although not many people watch the live stream right away, editing this scene into a news flash and sending it to major video websites would be enough to get a lot of clicks. Such a strange and interesting scene would surely interest many people.

Along the coast, hundreds of reporters carried equipment to film, while before the coast, hundreds of thousands of sea beasts united to block typhoons and huge waves... such a scene of mutual trust would easily win the annual international photography award.

And above the sky, in the dark clouds.

“This is all a show.”

Immersed in the real storm, Su Zhou’s eyes flashed with bursts of cyan-purple spiritual light. He stretched out his hands, simultaneously casting Feng Zhu Shui Zhu (Wind Assistance Water Assistance), using his own power to weaken the violent typhoon roaring from afar, ensuring that the wind and waves reaching the coast of Newfoundland, even if fierce, would not be too extreme.

Suppressing a wave of rapidly approaching storms, the youth with the power of calling wind and rain shook his head slightly. He turned his head and said to the youth beside him who was also casting magical powers and manipulating the wind and rain, “This typhoon was warned about two days ago. There isn't a single person in this coastal town. If it weren't for the image of the sea beast faction, we wouldn't have to bother so much.”

“…Don’t talk to me.”

Next to Su Zhou, the young man with long, dark blue hair was flushed, obviously pushing his power to the limit, his spiritual power and bloodline boiling, close to the extreme.

The young man was wearing a long, dark cyan robe, black boots, and faint dragon patterns were painted on the robe. He had two rather delicate dragon horns on his head. He was small, with delicate features, looking only in his early teens, and a pair of blue vertical pupils revealed his identity.

The disciple of the Tianchi Dragon King, Zhenlong (True Dragon) Jiu Ming.

The True Dragon, who had already learned the art of human transformation, had now transformed into human form and was stabilizing the surrounding weather environment with Su Zhou, providing the last and most solid ‘guarantee’ for the ‘show’ of these sea beasts and the safety of the many media reporters.

In fact, it wasn't just this typhoon resistance. Even the ‘recycling engine fragments’ operation mentioned in the previous news was actually a show.

After a while, Jiu Ming would lead a group of sea beasts to the location of the spaceship fragments that had been determined long ago and had not exploded at all, to recover the extremely dangerous alien engine in the publicity.

In this way, as the second True Dragon besides Su Zhou, and the many sea beasts belonging to Su Zhou and Jiu Ming, would be recognized by the people and become a group that Zheng Nation (the Righteous Nation) could openly promote, as well as the power to explore the ‘Tianchi Secret Realm’.

Of course, in theory, Su Zhou and Jiu Ming jointly managed the sea beasts, but in reality, most of the time Jiu Ming was taking care of the many sea beast little brothers by himself, working diligently, just like a professional nanny with hundreds of children.

But even so, as soon as Su Zhou appeared, the many sea beasts who had been flocking to Jiu Ming would instantly betray him. Except for two or three of the most loyal sea beasts, Da Yu (Big Fish) and Xiao Yu (Small Fish), the others would run to Su Zhou's side.

The scene was extremely miserable, very NTR.

Therefore, officially, Jiu Ming was responsible for managing the sea beasts, which Su Zhou never cared about, and Su Zhou quite agreed with Zheng Nation's desire to build momentum for the other party.

After all, if his two kenren (beloved) , Black Snake and Wood Shark, could take their cultivation a step further, they could also transform into human form and join Zheng Nation, and these two sea beasts were also the core of this momentum-building, so he was not at a disadvantage.

Besides—Jiu Ming manages the sea beasts, and he can manage Jiu Ming! Whether it is strength or bloodline, or the official position, Jiu Ming will definitely belong to the New World Exploration Department, the Tianchi Realm lineage in the future.

After a long time, the largest wave of the typhoon had passed, and the rain had gradually become sparse. The sea beasts maintaining the great formation, even with the nourishment of pure spiritual energy, were now exhausted. Many sea fish and sea snakes were floating on the surface of the sea with their bellies turned up.

“Basically, this whole afternoon was spent doing hard labor with you.”

Putting down his hands, Su Zhou shook his head. However, having said that, after fighting the typhoon and huge waves, he felt that his supernatural power derived from Ying Long, calling wind and rain, had become more skilled—being able to fight a typhoon was also a small probability event, which was also a rare practice and opportunity.

“How is it, Brother Sea Cucumber?”

Turning his head, Su Zhou laughed. He reached out and patted Jiu Ming's head, who was only up to his chest in height, and also stroked the other party's dragon horns: “For you to be understood and accepted by humans, our sincerity is great enough, right?”

“Don’t call me Sea Cucumber! I am a True Dragon!”

Somewhat annoyed, Jiu Ming knocked Su Zhou's hand down. If only calculating dragon years, he was indeed only about 12 years old, a true younger brother. Jiu Ming looked at Su Zhou, his brow furrowed, his expression serious: "Also, don't say you and us, what 'understood by humans'—sea beasts originally belong to you and me, and are the official forces of Zheng Nation.”

“And now that I have a human body, am I not considered a human?”

“Haha, that’s right, I was wrong.” Su Zhou nodded, admitting his mistake simply. He lowered his head, looking at the many sea beasts that were dispersing along the waves towards various gathering places on the Newfoundland coast, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional: "However, although my official title is 'Dragon King', the first one to be officially appointed as the 'South Sea Dragon King' is still Brother Shenlong (Sea Cucumber Dragon) you.”

“In the future, you, the South Sea Dragon King, will definitely also work part-time as the Tianchi Dragon King. Your future is bright and visible to the naked eye.”

“I told you not to call me Sea Cucumber Dragon or anything like that... Okay, I did transform into a dragon from a sea cucumber, but that was a long time ago...”

To this, Jiu Ming curled his lips. After a tsk, he looked at Su Zhou with a monster-like gaze, subconsciously touching the goosebumps on his arm, complaining, "What's so great about being a Dragon King? It's just a typical example of Zheng Nation showing that it teaches everyone without discrimination... There are benefits, of course, but it's just a title.”

Saying this, Jiu Ming's eyes turned to envy and doubt. He looked Su Zhou up and down, quite puzzled and said: "On the contrary, you have become more and more frightening recently—when I saw you some time ago, I was so scared that I almost turned back into my original form. The feeling was like encountering the Dragon Ancestor... Even the oppressive feeling that Cen Yun, my teacher, gave me was not as strong as yours...”

“By the way, there was also that ‘Global Dragon Blood Mimicry Practitioner Exchange Conference’ last time. That guy from North America who got the Quetzalcoatl inheritance, named Krossel, his attitude towards you was simply respectful, almost kneeling down to tie your shoes—the other party is a divine dragon bloodline, and he is afraid of you. Could it be that the Zhuzhou (Torch Dragon) this dragon, is some ancient primordial divine dragon, or is it related to ancient divine dragons such as Zhulong (Torch Dragon)?”

Taking the opportunity to communicate with Su Zhou at close range, Jiu Ming poured out his doubts in one breath, but Su Zhou's attitude made him quite annoyed.

“Who knows, I’m also looking for answers.”

Saying this, Su Zhou was not deliberately teasing Jiu Ming to make him angry. He really didn't know—except for Krossel. The new leader of the Holy Serpent Spiritual Lianyin (Holy Serpent Spiritual Prayer) was really quite stable recently, seeming to be frightened by Su Zhou's destruction of the Jiangling Hui (Spirit Descent Society) and the Xin Liming Jieshe (New Dawn Society) with his own strength. At that Dragon Blood Mimicry Practitioner Conference, he, who appeared in true form for the first time, poured tea for Su Zhou and showed concern, acting just like a simp. And Su Zhou was so gentle and kind, naturally not the type to strike with a heavy fist against a smiling face, so naturally he didn't do anything to the other party.

As for how the legend of Zhuzhou (Torch Dragon) will be spread... to be honest, only God knows.

After all, with information transmission, God knows how his legend will change in another world... just like in the Divine Dragon World, the information that he finally won the Dragon Ball, God knows what it will become in another world.

The Dragon who rules the Divine Dragons? The Dragon who drives the Six Dragons? Or even simply confuse many legends and make himself a seven-headed red dragon?

For the sake of Yala, that seven-headed red dragon is really not impossible...

“Work hard, Brother Jiu Ming.”

Now that the situation has more or less stabilized, Su Zhou is ready to leave after playing with his two sea beast kenren (beloved) , Black Snake and Wood Shark. This time, he patted the True Dragon youth's shoulder, his tone serious, causing Jiu Ming to also subconsciously become serious, looking at Su Zhou seriously.

Then, Su Zhou's words made his expression freeze: “Seeing as you are the only True Dragon I am familiar with, I have a very strong transformation method here. If you learn it, you can have handsome wings and vector nozzles like me, and you can move freely in the universe!”

“This... forget it.”

Stunned for a long time, Jiu Ming, who was very satisfied with his true form and did not intend to create detachable wings and jet propulsion, shook his head stiffly, reluctantly rejecting the suggestion: "The vast majority of the Mingxing (Vast Expanse) Dragon Transformation’s cultivation must rely on this dragon body. Adding extra wings and vector nozzles is still a bit too strange..."

He didn't know that Su Zhou's head, tail, hands, and feet could also be detached.

“It’s obviously very handsome...” To this, Su Zhou shrugged regretfully: “Okay, then forget it.”

Before this, he had already promoted his true body cultivation method to Jin Qiong once, but it was also stutteringly rejected by Miss Divine Bird—you must know that the most important thing for the self-assembled true body cultivation method is material components. If there is friendly cultivation and everyone shares components with each other, everyone's strength will be rapidly improved.

And in this new era prologue of the advent of aliens, the more such opportunities, the better, but since others are unwilling, Su Zhou can at most feel sorry, but not force it.

Next, Jiu Ming will continue to lead the sea beasts to continue the task of recovering alien engines under the arrangement of Zheng Nation officials.

As for Su Zhou, who left as a streamer, his next task is even more important.

Now, the visitors from beyond the sky, the Tallin people from the Tallin Presbyterian Council, their crashed spaceship, and the many sequelae caused by it have all been resolved one by one, and the finishing touches have been completed, but the human side has not figured out why the other party appeared in the solar system, nor does it know who attacked them.

Soul communication can certainly cross languages for basic communication, but a civilization's star-like vast data cannot be recorded by individuals and told to other lives through soul communication—and no one can remember so much data. Therefore, the communication process between Earthlings and Tallin people has been stuck at this step recently.

However, some time ago, with open and honest exchanges and communication between the two sides, the Tallin people had mutually parsed the language with the Earth side, and could now conduct faster and more comprehensive communication on the basis of soul communication.

And he, Su Zhou, is the ‘communication object’ specifically requested by Captain Ketalun, the controller of the crashed Tallin exploration ship, Voyager 12.
