Chapter 1 Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

"Yes, I did fight on the moon, but I forgot who I was fighting. This is not a perfunctory answer or a secret, I really forgot. You can ask my other teammates later, I believe they remember it very well."

"I must state that the series of destructions I caused on the moon were necessary and unavoidable. This was an act of God, and anyone else would have done the same, or even worse. And what value is there in alien spaceships that can be destroyed by me? Use your heads!"

"Yes, so far, we have not found any living aliens. At least, during the few days I worked on the moon, I did not find any living aliens in the wreckage of the one hundred and seventy-three alien spaceships I examined. Yes, no living aliens."

"The whereabouts of the alien corpses? I'm very sorry, I really don't know. That was the mission of the second lunar landing team. They have professionals. Perhaps relevant information will be released in a few weeks?"

The camera lens turned, and numerous camera flashes lit up. The reporters eagerly and enthusiastically asked questions, creating a hot atmosphere at the Zheng Nation Tiandu press conference.

In response to the numerous media inquiries, both ordinary and tricky, Su Zhou patiently answered all questions. Compared to his first appearance at a press conference two years ago, he had a more calm demeanor.

But for some of the foreign media's ulterior motives, he also bluntly said: "At present, we have discovered more than ten large spaceship wreckage gathering places on the far side of the moon, and the methods of shooting them down are different. Not to mention the things of our ancestors hundreds of thousands of years ago, the spaceship wreckage is obviously the responsibility of all human beings in the world. Don't deliberately provoke trouble, otherwise I suspect you are an alien spy."

This tough response was aimed at a reporter from the Europa Union. She questioned whether the spaceship wreckage on the moon was shot down by the ancient Zheng Nation Immortals and Gods. If so, then if aliens came looking for them, whose responsibility would it be?

Obviously, the person who asked this question had never thought about a problem—is there a difference between Earthlings for aliens? What's more, according to what Su Zhou had seen and heard, the far side of the moon was just a large garbage dump. No matter where the Immortals and Gods were from, they basically threw the crashed spaceships there, a messy pile, and even the Gods couldn't tell who shot them down.

"Thank you for your enthusiastic questions, but this press conference is over."

The press conference on the lunar landing operation ended in a very cordial and friendly atmosphere. Su Zhou got up and prepared to return behind the scenes with the other staff members of the National Space Administration—his three teammates were still in quarantine from returning from space, so only he was on stage.

After all, in this world of spiritual energy revival, no one can guarantee that there are no strange spiritual energy viruses in the sky. Su Zhou himself is a high-level transcendent who can self-check, but his teammates can't, and they need to use instruments to carefully confirm it.

However, in the end, a reporter from the Zheng Nation Xingmin Daily still seized the time when Su Zhou got up and hurriedly asked the last question.

[Excuse me, Mr. Su Zhou, what do you think of aliens?]

"What do I think of aliens?"

Su Zhou didn't mind answering this question. He thought for a while, and then said easily: "If they come friendly, a guest from afar, the people of Earth will naturally invite them to dinner."

"But if they come with malice, then they are enemies, and enemies..."

Saying so, Su Zhou put his right hand together in a hand-knife posture, smiled and made a 'chop' gesture downwards, and then turned around, returned behind the scenes, and ended this press conference.

He didn't expect that his action was almost instantly captured by a large number of netizens watching the press conference live, and then a large number of photoshops were made, becoming all kinds of strange emoticons and a large number of silly comments.

[Su Zhou: Let them become food (chop)]

[As expected of the Demonic Dragon who swallowed the Guiche!] (Guiche is a nine-headed bird from Chinese mythology)

[Zhou Bao, don't eat those things that haven't been quarantined (half annoyed)]

Mixed in with these comments were naturally all kinds of ps pictures, including Guiche's desperate expression in the Beast God Realm video, facing Su Zhou slowly chopping down his hand, and combined pictures of Su Zhou chopping an alien spaceship in half with one hand.

Not to mention these, Su Zhou's view on aliens, although he did not express a clear attitude, at least stabilized the hearts of some people, and also reminded everyone that the Earth civilization they are in is not without means to resist aliens—not to mention anything else, now Su Zhou at the Overlord level can already fight in outer space, and if it is the existence of a real Immortal God level like the Tianchi Dragon King, it would probably not be difficult to destroy battleships in the universe.

If the aliens come now, then they really have to admit defeat, but if they come again in a few decades, who will scare whom is not certain!

At this time, Su Zhou naturally did not know what was happening on the Internet. In fact, he had not been online to post on forums and argue with others for a long time. He rarely breathed a sigh of relief.

"Hey, it's been a long time since I vented my argumentative energy, improved my provocative power, and released my negative emotions."

While changing clothes behind the scenes, Su Zhou picked up his mobile phone and sent a message to his relatives and friends, 'Work is over, but I have something else to do later, I'll go back later', and muttered to himself: "The greater the ability, the greater the power, the greater the responsibility—the hard work during this period of time is too far from what I originally envisioned, to happily cultivate and maintain daily life at the same time."

"That's why I wanted to be a dark knight, lurking in the dark, occasionally killing a few bad guys. It's not as troublesome as it is now, with so many things to do all day long."

The staff in the backstage naturally heard Su Zhou's complaints. Of course, no one dared to respond, but they also understood very well.

Because they followed Su Zhou all the way back to Zheng Nation from the recovery ship, they knew that he had only met Shao's brother and sister, who were specially waiting for him in Tiandu. The two sides talked for a few minutes. After Su Zhou gave Shao Shuangyue a bottle of sterilized lunar soil, they separated again, and he hurriedly ran over to hold a press conference.

Although the time of the press conference was chosen by Su Zhou himself, as he said, he had other things to do, and he could only understand it as soon as possible.

[But this way, you can't get the information openly and eliminate those bad people who are extremely harmful to this world, and you can only solve petty thefts in one place and passively face this world.]

At this moment, Yansheng's calm voice sounded in the proxy terminal that Su Zhou carried: [The result of your active attack is obvious to all—the Litany Society has declined due to the heavy damage before the revival of spiritual energy, and it no longer appears. The Spirit Descent Society was wiped out by you, and the only member of the New Dawn Society also completely disappeared a few days ago.]

[Ah, I remember that you were also a Zheng Nation citizen who was kidnapped in Shan State... Haha, come to think of it, the demise or decline of the three major mysterious organizations is more or less related to you.]

[Su Zhou, these are the opportunities you wouldn't get if you were in the dark.]

"That's not necessarily true, Yansheng."

Habitually arguing, Su Zhou was quite used to the omnipresent Yansheng. He smiled, and then said seriously: "Did Yu Sheng say anything? I'm going to find you."

[I know, the transportation is ready, just come over.]

Nodding, Su Zhou walked out of the press conference site—sure enough, with the slight sound of the engine starting, the black high-end car of the New World Exploration Department slowly moved forward and appeared in front of him.

Then, the intelligent AI controlled the door to open, and Su Zhou also very adaptably got into the car.

[Would you like a drink?]

"This time, let's have some orange juice to supplement vitamin C and enhance immunity—by the way, what's the destination?"

[████, you need to take other vehicles after arrival.]

"Yo, it's actually the highest level of confidential area." Taking out the orange juice, breaking off the bottle cap, Su Zhou took a sip, and said thoughtfully: "My permission is not enough, it seems that it should be the underground hidden laboratory... Could it be that Yansheng has already guessed what I want to talk to him about? It's really surprising."

"Compared to this, Su Zhou, what surprises me more is that you still have hope for a peaceful life."

While on the way to an unknown mysterious area, Yala, who was hiding in Su Zhou's personal space, rarely opened his mouth to sigh. He was sitting on the obviously distracted Wisdom Tree branch, and said lazily: "I still remember what happened when you just signed the contract with me a few years ago—how much did you hope that this world would be more lively at that time?"

"I have always liked a peaceful life, Yala, but this does not contradict my love for excitement."

Communicating with Yala spiritually, Su Zhou leaned back in the back seat of the special car. He stretched his waist, and between the twisting of his muscles and bones, there was a majestic power that was enough to completely destroy a high-rise building. For the snake spirit's ridicule, he also replied with a smile: "How should I put it? I do like a more exciting world—giant combat robots tens of meters high, all kinds of strange aliens, transcendents and Immortals who can call the wind and summon the rain, ancient super relics, and super behemoths like mountains. I do like these things, and I want to see them in reality, I want to very much."

"I tried to summon demons at that time, threatened the Ouija board, and went to sleep in fierce places with rumors of evil spirits, and did at least twenty Bloody Mary summoning ceremonies in front of the mirror in the middle of the night—but I didn't succeed once, naturally, there were no demons, Ouija boards, and evil spirits. If it weren't for Qiming and Xiaoshuangyue accompanying me during that time, I would have been bored to death."

"However, I hope that these things will appear in a good way—the appearance of super monsters should not be earth-shattering, disturb the people, or even kill people, and the visit of aliens should not be with malice and fleets..."

"Hey, I know my idea is very naive, but since they have really appeared, I can only reluctantly give up a peaceful life and kill them all—who told me that I hope this world is so lively, but I can still live a peaceful daily life in it?"

When Su Zhou said these words, his expression was filled with a pure desire.

He really thought so. He hoped that the world could become like the worlds in novels, comics, and various fantasy movies. He hoped to live in it. The world was lively and noisy, but everyone was normal and lived a peaceful and peaceful life.

As for those who don't want others to live in peace, without a doubt, they are some extremely strange, extremely special guys—in other words, whether it is the leaders of the Spirit Descent Society, especially the Silent One, or the silver slime monster whose name he doesn't remember.

They are all monsters.

And monsters die when they are killed.

As for the new leader of the Litany Society, Crocell, although on the surface, Su Zhou only let him go because he was willing to accept supervision.

But in fact, Su Zhou could see that the other party was essentially just a strange guy who was pursuing 'cool'. He also didn't like a too chaotic world and was willing to live a peaceful life, so he didn't kill him.

As for Su Zhou's sincere thoughts, Yala sighed: "So, is this your reason for choosing to be a world police?"

"What? Is being a world police not good?"

Su Zhou immediately changed his expression, he chuckled: "This time, I can be regarded as solving all the large-scale poisonous tumor mysterious organizations on Earth—in this way, my work at the Security Bureau will be much less in the future, and I can devote myself to the work of the New World Exploration Department."

"In this way, the Earth will be stable, and I can concentrate on exploring the other worlds of the Heavenly God Scale."

"Hmm." Hearing this, Yala couldn't help but nod slightly and praised: "You actually still remember our mission, you're not completely unconscionable."

"However, don't be nervous, you've done a very good job. Many geniuses who have cultivated divine inheritances since childhood and grew up eating heavenly treasures may not have your current level."

"As expected of your vision, it's accurate!"

While talking and laughing with Yala, Su Zhou also noticed the wilted appearance of the Wisdom Tree in his personal space. Sensing that something was wrong, he immediately opened his soul space and looked at the Wisdom Tree spirit.

As a result, even Su Zhou was stunned for a moment and slightly surprised by the scene.

He could see that under the blue-green divine wood brilliance, the crystal clear Wisdom Tree spirit, which was surrounded by holy brilliance, had countless floating, green, and white-eyed human souls hanging upside down on all of its branches!

Because of the wood energy entering their bodies, the souls were all green, and because they were hanging upside down, their eyes were rolling back. At this moment, they looked like dried ham, and were tied to the branches of the Wisdom Tree with soul threads. Although there was no wind in the soul space, each person's soul would tremble slightly. The sounds they made when they shook slightly on the tree were like a song in the wind...

"Damn, what's going on!"

Although he knew very well that this was probably the method that he had asked the Wisdom Tree spirit to take care of those... who were eaten by whom? Anyway, it was a method to take care of the souls of some innocent victims, but Su Zhou never expected that the Wisdom Tree would handle this matter in such a strange way: "I was worried that the Wisdom Tree spirit would turn my soul space into a green grassland—now it seems that before that, my soul space first turned into a horror house scene, with a difficulty level of at least three stars!"

Unfortunately, it doesn't look like there will be any red clothes appearing, but as a replacement, green clothes are enough.

It could be seen that the spiritual light around the Wisdom Tree, which would occasionally transform into angels holding fire swords or playing the piano, but now, the angels transformed by those spiritual lights were like busy caregivers, tightening the threads on some souls, or comforting some souls that were shaking violently to calm them down.

With thousands of souls on its back, working so hard, no wonder the Wisdom Tree's body is so wilted, it must be really tired.

"Tears!"

For Su Zhou, who finally appeared after several days, the Wisdom Tree spirit immediately issued a pitiful one-word comment—if a tree couldn't cry, it would probably really cry and throw itself into Su Zhou's arms to act cute.

After all, no matter what, the Wisdom Tree is just a child who is only two years old! (Emphasis)

"Don't cry, don't cry, baby be good, I'll make you your favorite No. 0 holy water plus Yaochi water set later!" (Yaochi is the Jade Pool from Chinese mythology)

Immediately, male mother Su Zhou made a sound to coax the tree: "Tree treasure is really hard, what else do you want? I'll give you everything!"

"Clang!"

The Blade of Annihilation, which was placed aside in the personal space, also made a pitiful sound. And next to it, the World Tree Spear didn't do anything, and didn't make any sound, but that's why it was even more pitiful.

Su Zhou naturally agreed to all of them: "Okay, okay... Hey, wait, Blade of Annihilation? What's going on?"
