Chapter 1 Multiple Transformations?

"Multiple transformations?" Su Zhou subconsciously repeated the sentence before realizing what Yala actually meant.

"Well, indeed, although there is no need for it at the moment, multiple transformations do have corresponding benefits for me."

It wasn't just nonsense; Su Zhou's thinking did have its own rationality.

First of all, with the advancement of the extraordinary, the human form will increasingly restrict its true combat power.

Even if people boast about the human form being a natural Taoist body, the emergence of symmetrical, four-limbed, upright-walking animals is inevitable. Similar creatures have appeared on other planets as well, and this form has its advantages, such as freeing the hands to manipulate tools and providing more nutrients to the brain—human civilization was built because of these advantages—but it also has its weaknesses.

Therefore, the ancient immortals and gods had various dharma forms, mythical forms, or various 'combat forms' within their true bodies.

As strength improves, the difference between the combat power of the human form and the true all-out combat power of the extraordinary is vast.

But just like human athletes, who can only exert themselves for a few seconds, the strongest form of the extraordinary, if they really go all out, it is impossible to last too long.

Just like Su Zhou, if he really controlled the thunderclouds with all his might, raining down dragon breath, it would only last for ten seconds at most.

The density of these ten seconds, like a thunderstorm of insane dragon breath carpet bombing, is his limit—naturally, within these ten seconds, even if a hundred beast kings from the Beast God Realm charged at Su Zhou, they would only be reduced to ashes.

At first, when the difference between the true body and the human form was not so great, it was fine, but later, when using the true body to solve enemies was overkill, and using the human form was too troublesome, the existence of an intermediate form became necessary—this is the origin of the multiple transformations that Yala mentioned.

At this time, Yala was wagging her tail, shaking her head and saying: "The key to this multiple transformation is to switch at any time—first is stage one, then stage two, and finally stage three. If the enemy doesn't move, you don't move. They exert as much strength as you use."

Hearing this, Su Zhou was a little puzzled: "Huh? Why? Shouldn't I use a higher level of strength to crush them, no matter how much strength the enemy exerts?"

The snake spirit looked at Su Zhou with a hopeless expression: "Let's not talk about the meaning of multiple transformations. Won't the enemy transform as well? If you show a higher level of strength first, wouldn't you be exposing your trump card?"

"Think about it the other way around. When the enemy thinks they have you in the bag and are about to reveal their trump card, they happily look at you, oh, you've transformed—isn't that awesome enough?"

"Rational analysis, that's the logic." Su Zhou scratched his head, a little confused: "It's cool, but isn't that a waste of time? It's not like I can't see through the enemy's trump cards. If I can't see through them, I won't act."

"Ah, that's no fun—I'm telling you, transformation is a classic trope." The snake spirit coaxed him earnestly.

Su Zhou: "Okay, classic. (Perfunctorily)"

Yala: "Whether it's male-oriented or female-oriented, manga or novels, transformation occupies a place."

Su Zhou: I don't think you're talking about that transformation. (Alert)

Yala: "Look, many of your human works have similar scenes, such as Magical X Girl transformation, Kamen X Rider transformation, Ultraman X transformation, Super Saiyan X transformation, Frieza X transformation, Plain Glasses Girl transfor-. This is enough to prove that transformation is an instinctive preference of humans, and something that the masses love to see."

Su Zhou: "Stop it! The last one..."

And Yala finally concluded: "In short, these are all transformations. Su Zhou, you should also consider taking some special design from these classic design scenes of you humans."

Su Zhou: "Good fellow, these are all transformations—but Yala, have you been watching too much xiangsheng lately?"

But the snake spirit turned a deaf ear to this: "For your first transformation suggestion, I think you can consider miniaturizing your true body so that it can be used in the human body—aren't you already using miniaturized Immortal Dragon Scales under your skin? Otherwise, how could you resist the simulated lunar outer space environment—and then, you can consider modifying your eyes, whether it's to launch dragon breath or do something else, it can effectively improve your normal combat power."

"That's really thank you for your kind suggestion."

At this time, Su Zhou was about to land on an uninhabited riverbank in Hong City, and he said rather unhappily: "Then I'll transform you first, from a watch into a hat."

Su Zhou stretched out his hand, took Yala off his wrist, and then wiped it on his head. Immediately, a hat appeared.

Although Yala was just joking around and saying some trash talk, and he was subconsciously playing along, Su Zhou also knew that the other party's suggestion was indeed good.

If the enemy he faces also has hidden cards, then exposing his own cards first may put him at a disadvantage—at the same time, it is true that most of the transformation scenes in film and television novels are virtual, and there must be something wrong with looking for real people's brains from virtual works, but this does not mean that some elements cannot be borrowed.

"It's a pity that there is no invincible transformation time in reality. Even for me, there is a certain gap when switching to the true body. Frequent switching actually exposes weaknesses to the enemy."

Thinking like this, Su Zhou thoughtfully walked towards his destination—the old Shao family mansion in the suburbs, while thinking about a solution: "But, if I can use my personal space as a place to switch forms, then it can be said to be absolutely safe."

Su Zhou's personal space can accommodate living things. Otherwise, the Wisdom Tree could not live in it so comfortably, even enjoying it so much that it didn't want to leave. Su Zhou wanted to move it outside to breathe fresh air several times, but it was rejected.

"Don't want, outside, don't like!"

The Wisdom Tree's tone and attitude at that time were like that of an autistic otaku who was unwilling to go out and breathe fresh air, just immersed in its own world: "The outside air is turbid, so dirty!"

"You have to get used to a clean environment, and you have to get used to a dirty environment, otherwise, how can you be called a healthy God Tree! Get out of here!"

In response, the old father Su Zhou could only forcibly pull it out, allowing the Wisdom Tree to experience the vastness and nature of the outside world while making a 'Don't want to! Going to get, dirty...' sound.

The result, of course, was that the Wisdom Tree realized that it was wrong. Staying in a fixed safe area would only make it more and more squeamish. Only in the tragic natural environment could it get true growth—understanding this, it was very grateful to Su Zhou and thanked him several times, and the great philanthropist Su Zhou generously said that there was no need to thank him, this was what he should do.

Personal space, even the God Tree can live so comfortably and freely. Su Zhou himself can naturally enter. In fact, a personal space with an internal element cycle is completely a shelter isolated from the outside world, a small world. In a completely closed situation, it can be self-sufficient for a long time.

But the prerequisite is to leave coordinates outside.

Otherwise, there may be a certain deviation in the position when coming out of it, and it is not uncommon to even go tens of kilometers deep into the Earth's interior and enter the mantle and core.

Using personal space as a place to switch forms is not impossible. After being reminded by Yala, Su Zhou did get inspiration. However, this is also a skill that needs to be practiced frequently, so he put it in his mental memo as an element for the next training.

After doing all this, he had arrived at the entrance of the old Shao family mansion.

Shao Qiming's car was parked at the entrance of the old mansion, so he must be inside.

Su Zhou rang the doorbell, and the gate opened quickly.

Walking forward, the wooden floor made a creaking sound. Su Zhou entered the mansion and could see many large and small packages of supplies piled up in the hall, and Shao Qiming was sorting them out.

"How is it, Qiming, are you ready?"

Su Zhou asked casually. He glanced around and found that most of the items in the package were military combat equipment, such as sonic boom bombs, high-performance explosives, night-walking suits, bulletproof vests, some auxiliary exoskeleton parts, spy listening devices, and a rather special-looking drone.

This drone was especially strange. The surface had colorful lights flashing. It seemed to have the function of optical camouflage and stealth. It was quite high-tech. It was said that it was designed with reference to the scales of some chameleon spirit beasts as the external armor, so even Su Zhou had to look carefully to distinguish it.

After all, Shao Qiming's attributes also included light, and optical camouflage could exert greater power in his hands.

Obviously, they were all ordinary equipment, nothing surprising for students of the Qinxing Academy's combat system. Su Zhou glanced at it and stopped paying attention.

"Not yet, but soon."

Shao Qiming obviously knew Su Zhou's schedule. He was currently modifying the drone, and simply replied: "After all, it's another world. It's my first time going, so I want to be fully prepared."

"Being fully prepared is also a good thing. After all, I don't know how long the God Tree World has been through, and what dangers are behind it."

His friend was just this kind of person, and Su Zhou also understood Shao Qiming's caution.

While Shao Qiming was modifying the drone, he also took out the Blade of Extinction and looked at it carefully in his hand.

"Blade of Extinction..."

Murmuring to himself, Su Zhou stared at the divine blade in his hand, which had accompanied him in beheading many powerful enemies, and a trace of nostalgia appeared in his eyes: "The material of the divine blade is just ordinary Yan Iron Essence, taking a bit of the molten Qi of the volcano, and the meaning of extinction and Nirvana of the eminent monks, so it can kill souls and destroy the immortality of the God Tree."

"Now, the power of the divine blade is actually not enough to keep up with my pace—I am about to reach the middle stage of the Overlord Realm, and the essence of the divine blade is still an extraordinary high-level weapon."

Going back to the God Tree World, Su Zhou had many purposes. Seeing what his saved world had become was naturally one of the purposes. But in addition, for example, helping Shao Qiming personally experience the power of the God Tree, Su Zhou also planned to let the World Tree, which had made a lot of progress in wisdom, see what form its mature kind had and accumulate some background experience for it.

And integrating the power of vows residing in the Blade of Extinction and enhancing its power was also one of the purposes.

Although the material of this divine blade is not top-notch, the foundation is very good. Su Zhou believes that as long as he learns the 'Qi Forging Divine Weapon' method passed down by the former grand master 'Five Weapons Sect' who forged this blade, he can also use other materials to strengthen it—in addition, in the extraordinary world, materials are not the only source of enhancement. As long as he integrates the vows of countless people on this blade, he can easily strengthen it to the level of a soul weapon close to the middle and high stage of the Overlord Realm.

The power of vows from the Reincarnation World had been sorted out by Su Zhou, but the power of vows from the God Tree World was still entangled on the divine blade because Su Zhou could not perceive the power of vows at that time. So, Su Zhou thought that either he would return to the God Tree World and give up this cause and effect vow, or he would reorganize and integrate it in the original world, return it to the first class, and use it for his own use.

With a casual wave of his hand, Su Zhou did not use half a point of spiritual power, but the entire old house immediately heated up several degrees, causing Shao Qiming, who was on the side, to raise his head and click his tongue in admiration, then lowered his head again and continued to inscribe runes on the drone and modify the rotor.

"I hope that the grand master's Qi Forging Divine Weapon method will not be lost by then—according to the generosity of the Hundred Families Alliance at that time, they should not be selfish enough to cause it to be lost. When the time comes, I will exchange it with my modified Thunder Magic or the method of the Gale Shield."

Naturally, Su Zhou did not intend to exchange it for nothing. He could not exchange the inheritance of Zhengguo, but the modified versions of the Royal Five Extreme God Thunder True Method and the Gale Armor around his body, which originally originated from the God Tree World, could naturally be traded at will.

After a while, Shao Qiming nodded in satisfaction at the drone in front of him. He stood up and lifted the special drone, which was at least half a person's size, with one hand: "Not bad, modification is complete. I'll sort it out later, and we can prepare to set off."

"Hey, why is there a miniature rocket launcher nest on this thing... Are you going to war!"

Su Zhou immediately noticed that there were two dense honeycomb modules suddenly added under the drone, and he was immediately shocked: "This should be a miniature high-performance assassination rocket, equipped by special forces, right? It is said that it can also carry radioactive metal warheads and biochemical warheads... Who approved this for you?"

"You." Shao Qiming raised his hand and pointed at Su Zhou, succinctly.

"Oh, it was me..." Su Zhou suddenly realized and nodded slightly: "Then it's okay."

Although he said that, Su Zhou still clearly noticed something was wrong: "I noticed it from the beginning—Qiming, you look a little melancholy, are you too nervous?"

"A little."

There was nothing wrong with admitting it. Shao Qiming frowned slightly, then sighed. He shrugged and said helplessly: "Actually, since I knew that the time flow rate of the God Tree World is different from our world, I started to worry."

Saying this, the young man was quite worried: "Su Zhou, have you ever thought that connecting two worlds with different time flow rates is actually a very significant and very dangerous thing?"
