Chapter 1 The Origin World

"The Origin World?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but take a deep breath. His expression became solemn—Yala's words carried a peculiar power, causing his mind to be momentarily stunned by these simple words.

The Origin World. That is, a world that has never experienced the severance of spiritual energy, with complete inheritance, and has always been influenced by great existences.

In other words, that world may contain a fully-fledged Central Divine Court without gods and immortals leaving, a fully-fledged Earth God System… or even a group force stronger and more terrifying than the entire Earth God System.

Anything is possible.

"Is that the source of everything?"

In mid-air, Su Zhou said in a deep voice, but for some reason, he revealed a hint of a smile: "The real source?"

"No—it can't be considered the real source. But at least, it's closer to the source than anything you've experienced."

Yala met Su Zhou's gaze and said rigorously: "The Origin Worlds were theoretically impossible to enter. They were each bound by great seals. But since they can roll back the spiritual energy of the entire multiverse, even causing spiritual energy to decline, it proves that those worlds do have cracks, giving us a way to enter."

Speaking of this, the snake spirit couldn't help but laugh: "In short, if they can transmit influence and come to Earth, we can also go to their territory and disrupt their territory—it's best to snatch the enemy's resources to grow."

"You're right."

In response, Su Zhou nodded slightly. He narrowed his eyes, raised his head, and looked at the sky full of clouds and stars, lost in thought: "Yes, that's right. We can no longer passively wait for other great existences to invade us and come to our universe to cause trouble—it's time for us to invade them and stir up their territory!"

"Haha, that's the spirit!"

The snake spirit shook its head, its rhythm almost like a heavy metal rock lead singer. It was clear that it liked this idea very much: "That's what we should be doing—after all, you're not a savior, and it's time…"

"No, I am."

Interrupting Yala's words, Su Zhou lowered his eyes. He turned his head and looked at the turbulent waves behind him, crashing towards Qingqiu Continent, and then turned back to look at the mainland coast. The young man said in a deep voice: "Before looking to the future, we should first finish what should be done—the Earth Immortals and Heavenly Devils were indeed killed by me, but at most, I only destroyed the Heavenly Devil Matrix and interrupted the connection between the Heavenly Devils of Qingqiu."

"In fact, countless Spirit Suppressing Towers still exist throughout Qingqiu, and there are armies of Heavenly Devils everywhere. I haven't reached the point where I can rest."

Hearing this, Yala also sensed the surrounding situation.

The situation was indeed as Su Zhou said. In fact, not far away, a Heavenly Devil army was slowly retreating towards the Arctic direction of Qingqiu Star, and further away there were even more Heavenly Devil forces retreating. It slightly concentrated its mind: "Then what do you plan to do with these Heavenly Devils now?"

"I have no plans."

Su Zhou's gaze was indifferent. At this time, he restarted the Lanjia Rocket Armor, transformed into a shooting star, and rushed towards the mainland: "Heavenly Devils can only be killed."

"Whether there are billions or tens of billions, I will kill them all."

Slaughter is salvation.

This is also the last mercy that Su Zhou, as the Evil Devouring Demon Lord, can give.

"..."

Hearing this, Yala, wrapped around Su Zhou's arm, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

It discovered that during its sleep, Su Zhou's personality seemed to have shifted in a strange direction quite a bit.

How to say it… Just like in the Divine Tree World, Su Zhou easily twisted the idea of ​​'severing the immortality of demon soldiers' to the point of severing the immortality of all transcendents.

And in the Beast God Realm and the Divine Dragon World, he clearly wanted to help others from the bottom of his heart, but he insisted that others make a wish and give him a reason to take action.

This guy's thinking is really awkward and twisted…

However, precisely because of this, Su Zhou is walking on a completely different path from himself—he is indeed a guy who is good at raising questions, but it is not because he 'wants to question' or 'deny stagnation' that he questions, but because he wants the future to be 'better' than before, so he questions.

【Transcendence】? Or 【Ultimate】? No, he doesn't seem like those two fanatics either…

But no matter what, if Su Zhou is allowed to grow wildly like this, then the future will definitely not be a good thing.

——This guy will definitely have big problems if he acts alone for too long.

While Yala was thinking about Su Zhou's future, Su Zhou was observing the supervolcano eruption, and he was also thinking about the various matters after his advancement to Earth Immortal.

Previously, in order to kill the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Devil who was undergoing metamorphosis, Su Zhou activated the spirit of the Wisdom Tree, forcibly endowing the opponent and all the surrounding Heavenly Devil clusters with wisdom, and then used the World Tree Spear to kill them with their own will, and by the way, destroy the entire Heavenly Devil Matrix, detonating the lava pool beneath the Heavenly Devil Matrix.

The place where the two major plates overlapped and intertwined was the seal of the Lord of Weapons. Su Zhou could see that there was an inexplicably powerful force at the bottom of the supervolcano, and although the supervolcano was detonated by him, it did not trigger more volcanic chain eruptions, precisely because that force not only smoothed out the conflict between the plate overlaps but also suppressed other geological changes.

This is also why Su Zhou dared to attack—compared to a planetary array that uses continental plates as the foundation of the seal, the eruption of a supervolcano is not important at all… If the plate is a human face, then the supervolcano is just a blackhead. Squeezing it out may cause bleeding, but that's all.

The seal of the Lord of Weapons, although it has become somewhat unstable under the long years and erosion of the Heavenly Devils, at least has not been completely eroded.

"Alas, the messes left by the immortals and gods are too much."

Thinking of this, Su Zhou couldn't help but sigh—in addition to the aliens, the Mother Tree of the Beast God Realm, and now there is a Celestial Venerable being sealed here. If He really unseals, Su Zhou can't think of how to deal with it…

But no matter what, he has already advanced to the Overlord Realm with the 'Path of Nature'. The same 'Earth Immortal position' as the Dragon King of Tianchi in the past. If based on the standards of the old immortals and gods, he can be considered to have completed his ascension and have the qualifications to participate in the Kunlun Peach Banquet and the Divine Court Immortal Banquet.

After becoming an Earth Immortal, Su Zhou felt that his abilities in terms of divine powers and soul had greatly increased, and many new abilities had emerged.

For example, the current Su Zhou can grant others the power of his own divine powers, allowing them to temporarily hold abilities related to the Evil Devouring Demon Lord.

Or, let them become his proxies.

This is also a symbolic ability of immortals and gods—They can hide their power in the bodies of their younger disciples, exerting their effects when necessary to protect their disciples, or allowing disciples to temporarily learn some powerful divine abilities, allowing them to learn this power through personal experience.

Immortals can bestow inheritance, gods can bestow divine arts, and overlords can use this to become truly high-ranking beings. This is the origin of the names of these realms.

"Why does it sound a bit like a Demon King and his Four Heavenly Kings?"

Sensing the 'Heavenly Soul' in his body, which has condensed into a purple-blue light sphere, extremely solid and firm, Su Zhou suddenly had an understanding.

His Heavenly Soul position, in the final analysis, is his soul, completely transformed into an aggregate of divine powers such as the Evil Devouring Demon Lord.

The human soul is essentially a semi-solidified aggregate of spiritual energy that human thoughts spontaneously condense in a high-spiritual energy environment. With it, the speed of thinking can be accelerated. Without it, it is not impossible to live, after all, humans have the brain as a thinking organ, and the soul is just the icing on the cake.

But when it comes to the Transcendent Stage, the soul can roughly exist independently of the body. Practitioners of the Immortal Spirit Path may even completely abandon the body and become spiritual beings. The divine powers of the Commander Stage will strengthen the body, and some will strengthen the soul, engraving some powerful spells and abilities into the soul.

But when it comes to the Overlord Stage, the 'Heavenly Soul Position', everything has undergone a fundamental sublimation—if the previous divine powers were him learning how to light a fire and then use the flame to attack the enemy, then now, he is the flame.

What does this mean? It means that if Su Zhou bestows the divine power of the Evil Devouring Demon Lord on others, then before that person dies, or before the power of the Evil Devouring Demon Lord dissipates, Su Zhou will not truly die—even if his main body is destroyed, then he can rely on the 'divine power' on others to make a comeback again.

No need to seize a body, because he is the Evil Devouring Demon Lord. As long as this divine power personally bestowed and taught by Su Zhou still exists in the world, then Su Zhou can hardly be truly killed.

Of course, the requirements for this are also very high. First of all, the aptitude of the person being granted the divine power must be very good, secondly, they must trust Su Zhou very much, and be able to accept Su Zhou's beliefs, values, and rules… This is basically the condition for a successor, the level of a teaching disciple.

Naturally, if the user has any insights while using the divine power bestowed by Su Zhou, then Su Zhou can quickly analyze that insight.

"No wonder the ancient techniques between immortals and gods require 'felling mountains, destroying temples, and destroying traditions', and eliminating a powerful immortal god requires first annihilating his disciples… Otherwise, the other party will eventually make a comeback!"

Su Zhou suddenly understood that this is the special feature of the Heavenly Soul Position—compared to the three powerful combat strengths of the Path of Fate, the Path of Law, and the Path of Spirit, the Path of Nature, apart from strengthening divine powers, does not have any special features, but it is extremely difficult to deal with and extremely difficult to wear down.

Of course, this is not to say that other paths do not have life-saving methods: the Path of Fate may only need to peel off a small part of its flesh and blood as a backup resurrection reserve, and synchronizing memories from time to time can ensure the foundation of resurrection; and the Path of Spirit is the same in terms of spiritual power structure. After all, they are all immortal god realms, who doesn't have a few life-saving methods?

The special feature of the Heavenly Soul Position is that it has many advantages. Apart from this point, its strength is at least a million times stronger than that of ordinary people's souls, allowing Su Zhou to be almost immune to most soul attacks. The Heavenly Soul, which integrates all of Su Zhou's divine powers, also allows him to perform various powerful spells instinctively, and his reaction speed and combat rhythm are more than one level higher.

But besides that, Su Zhou's gains in other areas are not small.

For example, talents such as the Gale Assistance and Water Assistance have been strengthened with the strengthening of soul power.

At this point, Su Zhou completely understood the essence of the composition of divine powers—just like how the three attributes of 'Profound Yin', 'Nether Earth' and 'Yin Soul' can form the 'Little Red Lotus Hell' divine power, the Gale Assistance and Water Assistance are equivalent to some 'attributes' that some divine beasts and dragons are born with, allowing these powerful creatures to develop the divine powers they want according to their own wishes.

It can be used for actions such as riding the wind and mist, or for attacks such as sudden changes in the wind and clouds, and even for common celestial phenomena such as calling the wind and rain… anything is possible.

The Gale Assistance has now merged with the Lanjia Armor and transformed into Su Zhou's instinct. It can now be completely said to be an advanced divine power or inheritance called 'Great Circulation Lanjia Armor'. There is no problem in cultivating it to the Commander Stage.

As for the Water Assistance, because Su Zhou did not specifically cultivate it, but only strengthened it with the power of the Water God, this aspect is still in its primitive state, and it can be considered in the future to completely sublimate it together with the 'Míng Hùng Transforming Dragon Path'.

This is in terms of divine powers, and in terms of weapons, the World Tree Spear and the Blade of Annihilation have changes of different levels.

The World Tree Spear is a divine spear made from the branches of the World Tree, given by the Europa Alliance. Because Su Zhou obtained it relatively late, it did not awaken its spiritual awareness like the Blade of Annihilation.

But this time, Su Zhou used it as the core, condensed the enlightenment power of the Wisdom Tree, and condensed the will of countless Heavenly Devils to temper it inside and out. The power of the two different divine trees has also been somewhat integrated… Su Zhou doesn't know what changes will occur, but there is no doubt that it is only a matter of time before it gives birth to its own intelligence.

The Blade of Annihilation resonated with the righteous will of the people of the country in the Red Heaven Sword Qi, producing some mysterious reactions. Its blade spirit seemed to have some feelings, but even if Su Zhou stroked the blade to ask, it could not say it itself, only a feeling of 'very grand'.

It has indeed become stronger, but it doesn't know why. Su Zhou plans to study it carefully after a while.

Besides this, there is also the Wisdom Tree.

Previously, the Wisdom Tree shared the Heavenly Devil souls in the Spirit Suppressing Tower with Su Zhou, and then it erupted with all its strength to provide Su Zhou with wisdom light, allowing the Heavenly Devils to be enlightened—it must be said that it has made a great contribution, and its consumption is also very high. Fortunately, the Wisdom Tree has become much stronger after its last sublimation, and although this consumption has made it somewhat wilted, it has not fallen asleep.

Sensing the somewhat wilted appearance of the Divine Tree in the personal space, Su Zhou couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "Tell me what you want—there is nothing you need on Qingqiu Star this time. Thank you for your hard work."

"Want, earth…" At this time, although the Wisdom Tree was weak and its voice was not as imposing as before, when it heard Su Zhou's words, it immediately cheered up a little, shaking its branches, causing the countless Heavenly Devil souls hanging on it to sway: "Want good earth, good water!"

If this were applied to humans, it would actually be just wanting to eat something good and change accommodation conditions, which is very humble.

"No problem!"

How could Su Zhou not agree to such a small matter? He immediately made up his mind to check if there were any special soil types on Earth after returning to Earth. If that didn't work, he would go to other worlds to find them.

At this moment, Su Zhou was about to reach the coast of Qingqiu Continent.

He has already seen the battlefield ruins left over from his battle with the Heavenly Devil army.

But at this moment, Su Zhou stopped.

He turned around and looked at the sea behind him.

The night was gradually receding, and behind the mountain range on the east side of the mainland, the sun was slowly emerging from the mountains, and the strong wind swept across, causing the dark clouds in the sky to gradually dissipate.

But in the distance, there were shadows even darker and heavier than the dark clouds.

That was the smoke and dust from the supervolcano eruption, and what would reach the mainland even faster than it was a world-shaking tsunami.

Fortunately, all the people of Qingqiu were hiding in the deep mountains and forests with extremely high terrain to avoid the Heavenly Devils, and it was impossible for them to stay in the coastal areas. Otherwise, if Su Zhou struck down like that, although the Heavenly Devil Matrix would be destroyed, the Spirit Suppressing Towers on the northwest coast would also be destroyed, and a large group of the people of Qingqiu would die as well.

"Your Honor?!"

At this time, Su Zhou heard a surprised cry from the side. He knew that it was Gu Zechuan's voice. The white fox youth seemed to be preparing to go deep into the sea to observe the situation, but he noticed the anomaly of Su Zhou's flight, so he turned back.

He also noticed the abnormal celestial phenomenon in the distance—although the people of Qingqiu had not lived on the coast for hundreds or thousands of years, they at least knew what natural disasters were.

"That, that is the battle between you and the Heavenly Devils…"

Gu Zechuan, who was rapidly approaching, came to Su Zhou's side. In this instant, he suddenly realized that the aura of the seemingly young Honor before him had become more ethereal and unpredictable, like a heavenly power that could not be estimated… That was a power far more powerful than the so-called peak of the Human Immortal.

That was the power of an Earth Immortal, a true immortal god.

But even so, because of Su Zhou's previous teachings, he did not reflexively kneel down to the 'immortal god' like most of the people of Qingqiu who seemed to have it engraved in their bones—although this person of Qingqiu was terrified, he still gave up all the nonsense in the first place and asked directly: "Your Honor, you have won—what should we do next? Do I need to notify other compatriots and discuss the next action again?"

Speaking of the latter, his tone faintly became fanatical… Yes, the Heavenly Devils have already withdrawn their troops. They have given up their active attack. Does that mean…

"Yes."

Before Gu Zechuan could continue thinking, Su Zhou's calm voice sounded in his ears: "This is exactly what I want you to do."

"Go and gather, Gu Zechuan, gather all the people of Qingqiu you can gather."

Saying this, Su Zhou's human body slowly lit up with a burst of light—and after a dazzling halo and huge changes in the airflow, an incomparably huge Zhuzhou Dragon, with an incomparably bright cyan-purple soul pearl on its head, appeared between heaven and earth.

The sun was gradually rising, the clouds cracked, and as the sunlight gradually spread across the earth, this round of cyan-purple spiritual light had illuminated half of the northwest coast.

The dragon was so huge that Gu Zechuan was already at the top of this behemoth's finger when he discovered it—the divine dragon raised him to a place level with his own eyes and said lightly: "From now on, the people of Qingqiu should take back their homeland—under my protection and your own struggle."

"Do not fear death, for I will be with you."

Su Zhou can indeed completely kill all the Heavenly Devils alone.

Not to mention anything else, with his true form of the Overlord Stage, even if he doesn't use any skills, just crashing over with all his strength can directly destroy a city.

But he will not do this.

Because salvation is not charity, and the saved should also work hard and contribute to their own liberation.

Complete giving is a form of hatred—yes, Su Zhou came here because of the warning from the Red Heaven Sword, to help the people of Qingqiu out of their predicament. But now, the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Devil, the Original Corruptor, the most powerful and difficult enemy to defeat, has been killed by him. Then, the remaining Heavenly Devil forces, the people of Qingqiu themselves must pay a price for their own future.

It sounds very condescending, and regards human life as nothing… but the people of Qingqiu will not cherish what they get without bloodshed.

What's more, they may also want to take action themselves and avenge their past thousands of years of suffering.

And the fact is indeed so.

"Yes! Your Honor!"

Hearing Su Zhou's words, Gu Zechuan was so excited that he could not control himself, and wanted to set off immediately to find those Gu family members who had already set off towards other Qingqiu shelters—after a long darkness, Su Zhou's arrival was like a ray of dawn in the night, and now, this ray of dawn has already risen and turned into a bright sun… And now, he is actually willing to fight alongside the people of Qingqiu!

What else is there to ask for?

After all, if you can see hope, then no one will fear sacrifice.

What's more…

Transforming into a dragon body, a body that can better show the power of the Overlord, Su Zhou nodded slightly, gazing at the people of Qingqiu in front of him who made a decision without any hesitation.

He can't really let the people of Qingqiu die… Indeed, the Soul Abyss Server is now on the Far Horizon, and is estimated to have already left towards the Qingqiu Five's Stargate—whether Su Zhou has been helped by their assistance or not, the Far Horizon will leave to avoid being caught up by the enemy in outer orbit because it didn't leave in time.

But, now that he has advanced to the Heavenly Soul Position, what difficulty is there for Su Zhou to create a Soul Abyss Server himself?

It can be seen that the dazzling Heavenly Soul above Su Zhou's head is now emitting spiritual light. It is stirring up a huge spiritual energy vortex in the air. As invisible fluctuations are transmitted, the coastal area that has already begun to surge gradually becomes calm—and in addition to this most basic spell of calling the wind and rain, another extremely complex and extremely declarative spiritual pattern structure is being engraved and formed in this Heavenly Soul.

That is the structure of the Soul Abyss Server—the structure of the electronic underworld.

Su Zhou directly replicated an electronic underworld in his own soul!

From then on, all souls who died under his spiritual light will be collected into the electronic underworld and become heroic models for the people of Qingqiu to fight against fate and fight against the Heavenly Devils!

"Let's go."

Putting down Gu Zechuan on his fingertip, Su Zhou shook his hands and flew towards the deep mountains of Qingqiu Continent, causing the white fox youth to immediately drive the Dao Armor to hurriedly follow: "Let us burn all the Heavenly Devils to ashes."

——That is a story recorded in history by all the people of Qingqiu.

In ancient times, evil spirits were rampant, the king was harmed by evil, and the country fell apart. In the era when the connection between heaven and earth was severed, the people of Qingqiu were forced to move away from their homeland, hide in the deep mountains and forests, and endure one attack after another from the Heavenly Devils.

Dark clouds covered the world, and the sunlight decreased day by day. The children who used to chase in the sunlight can only live in the ground, feeding on earthworms and mushrooms.

The people of Qingqiu thought they would never see the light of day again.

However, one day, a large star fell from the sky, and an envoy from the ancient Divine Court came to this world.

Then, everything was changed.

The dark clouds dissipated, the Heavenly Devil's lair was destroyed, and under the leadership of the powerful Dragon God, the people of Qingqiu, who could not endure such suffering, once again raised their weapons, and once again, and for the last time, launched a general offensive against the Heavenly Devils.

For the happy and hopeful future of their children, to avenge those dead relatives and friends, to see the sun of tomorrow, and for more and more insignificant but extremely important reasons, the people of Qingqiu were willing to bleed, struggle, and break the shackles for hope.

And the Dragon God was with them, and all those who died fighting the Heavenly Devils would be sent by him to the underworld, waiting for the final reward.

"Zhuzhou!"

They reverently called the name of the Divine Dragon in this way and planned to carve stone statues as objects of worship, but they were rejected by the other party.

"You should not worship idols—I came to help you because you are human, and we are compatriots."

The Divine Dragon said so, he admitted that he did have great merits, but he denied all other motives: "If the people of Qingqiu had not continued to resist for thousands of years, how could they have waited for reinforcements? Before thanking me, you should thank yourselves for never giving up."

That's what he said.

But even so, this name is still sung in all the Qingqiu shelters.

Another day of battle—under the leadership of a group of pioneers led by Gu Zechuan, all the Spirit Suppressing Towers in the southwestern part of Qingqiu Continent have been wiped out, and they have also begun to spread towards other directions of Qingqiu Continent and receive support from almost all Qingqiu shelters along the way.

Gradually, gradually, because the Heavenly Devil Matrix was pulled out, and one Spirit Suppressing Tower after another was destroyed, the strength of the Heavenly Devils became weaker and weaker, and the battle-hardened Qingqiu elites became stronger and stronger.

From the original situation where the Divine Dragon had to take action to eliminate a group of powerful Commander-Stage Heavenly Devils, it has become the current situation where the Divine Dragon only needs to supervise the battle, and the people of Qingqiu themselves can defeat and win the Heavenly Devil forces.

And the Divine Dragon watched all this and nodded secretly in his heart.

"All of this is good."

January 26, 2018.

Three months after Su Zhou defeated the Nine-Tailed Heavenly Devil.

Today is another great victory—now most of the Heavenly Devil fortresses on Qingqiu Star have begun to weaken, and except for the northwest region, the Spirit Suppressing Towers in the southwest and southern regions have also been removed by the allied forces of the Qingqiu shelters.

The allied forces composed of many shelters would have produced internal friction due to internal struggles, but because the Divine Dragon was there, Su Zhou's existence made all those who wanted to take shortcuts tremble and could only correct their attitudes.

At this time, it was midnight in the mountain range in the southern part of Qingqiu Star.

In the fortress camp temporarily built by the people of Qingqiu, the lights were bright, and teams of energetic Heavenly Fox cultivators were patrolling in the camp—although the Heavenly Devils had not actively attacked the camp for a long time, they would not slack off in this regard, even if it was to show their spirit and efforts in front of the Divine Dragon.

But today, it was a little different.

Su Zhou, who had always been extremely awake except when he would be immersed in cultivation, was now immersed in a strange dream.

It was not fatigue, nor was it being lost in thought. He was extremely awake, but his spirit unknowingly fell into a hazy illusion.

In the hazy dream, boundless fog rose in the gray-black endless plain, covering the entire world.

And in this plain, a faint sound sounded, as if it was murmuring, stirring up undulating waves in the sea of ​​fog.

At the same time, it also stirred up the illusion originating from 'fate'.

——In the soul space.

In the black evil soul, the brilliance originating from the ancient other shore was flashing.
