Chapter 1

Rock Tower Astner, as expected of the strongest Holy Light cultivator in the American Federation, his mental fortitude was indeed far beyond anyone's imagination. Even when facing Su Zhou's imposing pressure, he gritted his teeth and refused to budge—but Su Zhou didn't care. He simply closed his eyes, releasing pressure while absorbing the surrounding Heaven and Earth Yuan Qi, and began to cultivate.

As soon as Su Zhou began to cultivate, the entire United International Conference Hall was transformed into a spiritual energy vacuum zone. The violent spiritual energy flow, comparable to a typhoon, was sucked into his body as if it were a black hole…

In fact, in that instant, Su Zhou directly reverted a large area around him to the spiritual energy levels of the era when spiritual energy was cut off. Not only the representatives of the American Federation but also the superpowered representatives of other countries showed discomfort.

Unlike the politics of mortals, in the world of the extraordinary, Su Zhou had the qualifications and strength to be so arrogant.

Even Astner, whose mind was as firm and unshakeable as a stubborn rock, couldn't help but open his eyes and look at Su Zhou, his eyes full of helplessness.

—Zheng Country actually sent this guy here. It seems that the old guys of the Thirty-Six Saints have roughly figured out the truth behind this matter… That's right, they are the most interested in the 'Moon' recently, so it's no wonder they attach so much importance to it.

As for Su Zhou, Astner wasn't a fool. Of course, he knew that this young man seemed impulsive and straightforward on the surface, but what supported this way of thinking was his powerful strength… And who could know what the truth was beneath the other party's rough exterior?

At least, in the Beast God Realm, after he saw Su Zhou kill three rebellious Divine Beasts with a pencil, he was very clear that Su Zhou's outward label of 'proficient in thunder techniques and breath attacks' was simply a disguise—killing three Divine Beasts with a pencil, a pencil! Anyone who fights this kind of monster in close combat is an idiot!

However, nothing could be analyzed from this. Su Zhou's outwardly displayed strength had no flaws. If you had to analyze something, you could only analyze the meaningless conclusion that 'one should not fight him.'

Under the pressure of Su Zhou's imposing aura, which felt like the Rocky Mountains pressing down, Astner gritted his teeth, his face extremely ugly, and remained silent. The situation remained deadlocked for several hours.

During these hours, almost all the representatives of other countries had left, leaving only the representatives of the American Federation, the Europa Union, the Ross Country, and Zheng Country.

During this time, Su Zhou completed more than three thousand minor heavenly cycles. He sucked most of the United International Headquarters resident into a spiritual energy cutoff zone. The representative of the Ross Country on the other side had already begun to secretly take supplements to replenish spiritual energy, but in fact, it was not shameful, because Astner was already injecting himself with his third military-grade spiritual energy supplement.

But even so, facing Su Zhou's pressure, which was not deliberately targeted but simply 'present,' he was about to be unable to hold on.

Fortunately, on January 20, 2017, at 4:41 AM Zheng Country time, the American Federal government should have come to a conclusion. Astner, who received relevant instructions through his brain chip, breathed a sigh of relief, finally relented, and began to speak.

"Actually, although the perpetrator who destroyed the Europa Union's Antarctic research station and caused the deaths of a large number of scientists from various countries can be confirmed as John Harrison, he had already escaped our tracking and disappeared."

A tired voice sounded, followed by heavy breathing. After Astner spoke, Su Zhou opened his eyes and withdrew his pressure.

Behind the holographic projection, Olsen, who was still dealing with the corresponding events, frowned and said, "You can't track the Deep Space Caller? That's a complete joke, and you should have notified us immediately—never mind, when did this happen?"

"Four months ago." Astner reported a rather alarming number, causing the representative of the Ross Country to sneer and mutter something in Russian, 'As expected.' He pretended not to hear and continued, "Evidence shows that when the Deep Space Caller arrived at the Antarctic pole, he suddenly disappeared—and at that time, the satellite that was specifically tracking him was burned down by a special electromagnetic pulse after observing an extremely large release of spiritual energy. By the time we called in a new satellite, he had completely lost track."

"To be honest, we know nothing about his whereabouts. We don't know where he is. The only thing we can be sure of is that the one who destroyed the research station was the strange creature he had summoned several times in the past during alien monster summoning events, which we named 'Shapeless One'."

At this time, orange-red electronic light flashed in Astner's eyes. His eyes had obviously undergone mechanical modification. Then, he raised his hand and had the proxy terminal release a series of photos and projections.

Su Zhou curiously leaned over to take a look, but only saw a strange silver gelatinous substance—it was a bizarre creature that constantly wriggled and deformed, like mercury, and inside that silver gelatinous substance, there were numerous, glowing, eye-like circular structures.

Su Zhou could tell that the light released by those eye-like structures was the light radiation phenomenon caused by spiritual energy activation—this shapeless creature looked like a primitive amoeba, but it was indeed an extremely powerful, highly evolved spiritual energy life form.

Staring at these photos and classified projection videos, Astner sighed. He said faintly, "In the past, the Deep Space Caller, John Harrison, summoned this strange creature and controlled it to devour seventeen hundred people in Twilight Town, including his own parents, grandparents, and great-grandparents, and inflated it to the size of a small mountain—our military had no choice but to launch a three-million-ton strategic hydrogen bomb, as well as three days of continuous aluminum thermite white phosphorus bomb bombardment, completely turning the Twilight Town area into a wasteland."

"But even so, the Deep Space Caller still did not die—he is a monster who could withstand a three-million-ton strategic thermonuclear weapon strike decades ago. We can only track, divert, and avoid him, and rarely engage in direct confrontation."

"This creature is clearly not from Earth. It's not false that the caller can summon alien monsters—how exactly did he summon them? At least within three hundred light-years, we haven't discovered any life-bearing planets, and no teleportation summoning method can cross such a long distance."

After staring for a long time at the information that should have been the American Federation's secret, Su Zhou narrowed his eyes. He looked up, because the power originating from the 'Heart of No Thought' allowed him to hear the rather rapid heartbeat of Astner in front of him, like a violin concerto: "But likewise, Mr. Astner, you are still hiding some information—the American Federation actually knows the whereabouts of the Deep Space Caller, right? And you should also be very clear about his purpose in going to Antarctica."

As he said this, Su Zhou directly met Astner's gaze. In that instant, the tall man known as Rock Tower suddenly had a sense of fear that all the disguises on his body were completely shattered and exploded, and that he himself was completely seen through and that no secrets could be preserved.

Although it was only fleeting and he quickly regained his normal state of mind, that feeling of being completely dissected caused Astner to subconsciously avoid Su Zhou's gaze. He frowned and didn't say much.

"Alright, whether you believe it or not—in fact, we cannot confirm it either, so we were unwilling to state the guess as a result before."

But after a few seconds, seemingly having received permission from the American Federal official behind him, the representative still raised his head. He glanced at the representatives of the three major powers, took a deep breath, and revealed the truth.

"We suspect that the meteorite that struck the original Gondwana continent about 270 million years ago contained a certain 'alien super life factor' and is greatly related to the 'Shapeless One'. The Deep Space Caller went to Antarctica for this reason."

"And now, according to the images reported by the lunar orbiting satellite, although misjudgment cannot be ruled out, there is a high probability that the Deep Space Caller is currently on the Moon."
