Chapter 670 Never Regret (5300)

The hot wind seared the air, sweeping across the wilderness.

Rainwater evaporated, its dust content turning into smoke in mid-air, rising towards the sky. White hair fluttered in the wind as crimson eyes stared ahead.

In the devil's vertical pupils, the appearance of the entire world was reflected. At the end of the horizon, the steel fleet stood, like towering fortresses.

Su Zhou, holding a large shield, stood in the flying dust, facing everything. The source energy index, far exceeding ordinary disasters and beyond everyone's imagination, was rising, causing sparks of burning fire to light up in the air.

The light of the holy sun in the sky was already dim, but now it seemed even dimmer, far inferior to this star rising on the ground.

Witness. It is often said that only by witnessing some things with one's own eyes can one understand some truths and draw nourishment from them to grow. Su Zhou deeply agreed. It was precisely because he had witnessed too many hardships in many worlds that he could gradually forge his firm belief and transform himself from the inside out into a strong man capable of changing the world.

However, what if he could change the world? The number of worlds in the multiverse is 'infinite', and there are even an unknown number of plural multiverses, as evidenced by many great existences.

No matter how strong he is, he cannot change all the worlds, or even all the multiverses.

Fortunately, the number of intelligent life in the multiverse is also infinite.

As long as he spreads his correctness, puts his principles into practice, lets all living beings witness the beauty and change he can bring to this world, and turns people into followers of his own, he can make the world as beautiful as possible.

"Look."

Holding the great shield, Su Zhou raised his head. He looked far into the high sky, as if his gaze could penetrate the barrier of the world and enter the void directly: "This cluster of worlds shrouded in twilight, the Aeon World is just one of them, an insignificant one of them."

"But from today onwards, it will be different. It will become a seed, the beginning of the spread of the path of innovation to the heavens and myriad worlds."

Su Zhou's declaration was calm, like expounding the truth.

And in his voice, there were numerous vast echoes, which were the voices of those who were practicing and understanding the Zhuzhou Path in the inheritance hall in the far north ice field.

These voices were either excited or calm, but the same was that they were surging with belief in their hearts, with the ideal of wanting to change the world, and the will to become better.

Thousands of echoes overlapped and intertwined, and thousands of beliefs condensed into one.

Su Zhou walked forward.

The huge four-headed dragon followed behind him, each step spanning thousands of meters.

And as he walked, a cylindrical void appeared between heaven and earth. There was no cloud or rain in this void, only a stream of hot air rising upwards, carrying boiling steam.

From a distant perspective, it was a huge, twisted cloud column that pierced the sky, with air currents overflowing in all directions, turning into the shape of winding branches, hanging down branches and leaves formed by source energy, as if burning.

It looked almost like the shadow of a divine tree.

"This, this is actually?!"

Funia, who had come with the ship, originally wanting to see if she could receive any new tasks, felt a jolt throughout her body the moment she saw the divine tree phenomenon. Experienced and knowledgeable, she understood the meaning of this scene better than anyone.

This meant that the essence of that Primordial Zhuzhou was actually an extremely powerful humanoid divine tree! And it was the kind with very pure blood!

Only in this way could the spiritual energy phantom transform into the divine tree phenomenon!

"The Primordial Zhuzhou is actually a divine tree?!"

"Or is the Dragon-Serpent Divine Tree originally one, a symbiotic relationship similar to Xuanwu?"

She guessed wildly, coming to an answer that was enough to enrage Yala.

Even on the Tower of Babel, the Solar Emperor sensed something. His expression changed slightly, and he turned his head to look northwest.

"Zhuzhou?"

Having learned from the spies in the Yan Frost Army that Professor Svetre had a peculiar way of referring to himself, His Majesty the Emperor nodded slightly: "Indeed, the connotation of the name is very similar to Burning Ember, and the aura is indeed very similar."

"Is it the ancient resentment of the divine tree finally giving birth to a physical body, or is a new divine tree resurrected from the ruins, using that professor's body to act?"

It's all the same.

The Emperor was surprised, merely surprised that Su Zhou had so obviously revealed his trump card. He thought that the other party would use this trick only when facing him.

Other than that, he just smiled and turned his head indifferently.

"Fight, let the war begin."

This was his only thought.

But for the Aharonov father and son, all of this was too abnormal. The entire battlefield was silent because of Su Zhou's participation in the war.

The moment Su Zhou's Mind Light Body appeared, the entire Third Army Group stopped attacking.

Or rather, even if they didn't stop, they couldn't possibly attack the positions behind Su Zhou anymore - a dragon-shaped mountain range stood between them and the target, and no matter how they attacked, they could only attack that seemingly indestructible Mind Light Body.

"Continue attacking!"

But soon, Old General Aharonov's resolute voice came from the mountain range's giant Mind Light Body: "Maintain suppressing fire!"

Stopping the attack now would be letting the enemy get closer, so it would be better to maintain firepower and see what kind of power Svetre had to deal with it, to gain more information!

Aharonov's order was faithfully executed, and the gun muzzles of the Third Army Group's warships turned again with slight adjustments, as if controlled by the same person.

Hundreds of heavy armed ships calibrated together, their dark muzzles condensing the power to destroy cities and mountains.

"Fire!"

For a time, it was as if a cloud belt composed of light surrounded the entire fleet, and in the cloud, light flickered. Countless artillery fire and spells broke through the cloud formed by the overflowing source energy, and then transformed into thousands of trajectories, connecting to the four-headed dragon that was rapidly approaching the fleet.

The artillery fire was physical and illusory. The spells included lightning, fire, frost, acid, shadow, gale, hard rock, and highly flammable grease.

There were even biological weapons mixed in. A large number of strange source energy bacteria were hidden under the steel shells. This was a weapon specifically designed to deal with solid mobile cities, capable of easily capturing a city that had not done a good job of epidemic prevention.

The roar of the artillery fire resounded through the sky.

But the sound and fluctuations of the shells exploding and the spells taking effect were not heard.

Su Zhou raised the giant shield in his hand. This was the method of protection he had condensed from his will and comprehended in the Aeon World - only the living can hear the Great Dao, only existence can become correct. In a world full of suffering, before solving problems, one must first ensure that the people one wants to protect can survive.

And the moment Su Zhou raised the giant shield in his hand, an invisible wall rose up.

Between the Third Army Group and Su Zhou, with the rushing of air currents, all the spells and shells seemed to be trapped in a quagmire, stagnating in place. They moved forward inch by inch, but in the end, they could only struggle in place.

More than one hundred thousand shells and spells were all nullified.

Then, Su Zhou slammed the shield towards the ground.

Invisible ripples spread.

And all the shells and spells exploded as if they had been frozen for a long time and then smashed. They turned into source energy dust that scattered all over the sky, falling from the sky like snow under the white frost.

The rampant source energy tore apart all orderly magic structures, directly shattering the Third Army Group's combined attack.

All the gunners stayed in place, forgetting to continue controlling the ship cannons to fire.

General Aharonov also forgot the 'don't stop firing' order he had just given. The mountain range giant gripped his longbow, but didn't draw it.

Behind Su Zhou, the Holy Sun Pope and the Light Chasing Leader, who were watching this scene, widened their eyes in disbelief, opening their mouths, but only able to make sounds like 'wha...' and 'huh?'.

They were all very clear about what this scene represented.

This meant that Su Zhou's output was greater than the combined output of hundreds of source energy battleships and the accompanying spellcasters.

Testing strength?

They did test Su Zhou's strength, but they couldn't touch the upper limit at all.

"Attack... main gun attack!"

In the end, it was Okololov, who was relatively young and hadn't seen as many big scenes, so he couldn't quite understand the meaning of this scene. He was simply surprised by Su Zhou's strength, so he regained his composure as soon as possible and continued to order: "Discard the lower power secondary guns, concentrate energy on the main gun - the enemy's defense is extremely strong, and smaller power attacks are equal to non-existence!"

His order was indeed correct. War with the strong was completely different from war with armies and cities. The latter would be destroyed by dense artillery fire, while the strong needed a fine and sharp awl to break through the defense.

Soon, as one of the most elite troops of the Empire, the Third Army Group prepared for the attack again.

This time, thunder rumbled, but the leaping arcs of light were much less than before. If the previous artillery fire was like a rain of steel falling, then now it was like sporadic meteor showers falling from the sky, with steel warheads weighing several tons breaking through the atmosphere at dozens of times the speed of sound, scorching the sky along the way, stirring up source energy, and bringing up a sea of fire.

This time, Su Zhou didn't raise his shield. The shells easily crossed the positions where the previous numerous magic shells had been blocked, and crashed straight towards the man's body.

But although Su Zhou didn't raise his shield, he had taken a breath before.

And now, he exhaled.

The compressed air, after being accelerated three times by the lungs, trachea, and oral cavity, had turned into a jet of hot plasma light, like a rocket nozzle. It enveloped the heavy siege giant cannon that was speeding towards him like a tide.

But this light stream didn't completely annihilate the shells. It stopped at the right point, only completely eliminating the kinetic energy contained within, causing the shells that were originally flying at high speed to hover in place.

Su Zhou stretched out his hand, and the huge shells began to twist and deform. The several-ton heavy cannon warheads deformed in the noisy sound of steel being squeezed, and finally turned into an unremarkable, two-arm-length long sword, floating behind Su Zhou.

——Taibai Slaying Disaster Breaking Tribulation Haoling Divine Restriction · Commanding Five Weapons——

Turning enemy weapons into one's own spears, a basic operation of the Taibai Path.

The attack was not over yet. Every step Su Zhou took forward, he would suffer terrible concentrated artillery strikes, but this was nothing more than providing him with weapon materials.

After the explosions, flying swords and spears floated behind the man like floating cannons, forming a halo of weapons.

Faced with such an attack, Su Zhou even became distracted.

"Even in worlds influenced by great existences, disasters are so heavy, it seems nothing has changed."

The artillery fire flew and explosions rang in his ears. He couldn't help but yawn, and then whispered to himself, causing Yala to shake his head and respond: "No, Su Zhou, if there is only one great existence, at least there will definitely be a group of people who are very happy."

"Look at the Harbinger, his dependents are independent in the Harbinger Space, without the interference of other great existence dependents, all of them are very happy, without a trace of haze."

"But unfortunately, there is only one Harbinger Space. Most great existence families and dependents will gather in the same world, influencing and interfering with each other."

Speaking of this, the Serpent Spirit raised its tail, pointed in the direction of the Third Army Group, and then pointed at Su Zhou, hinting: "Social Darwinists and humanists definitely have completely different ideas. They influence each other, and the result is disaster. Conflicts are bound to arise, bringing blood and fire."

"But if the whole world has only one thought and belief, then they might all be very happy... it's just that most of the time, there is no such pure world, and no great existence has such a strong influence."

Su Zhou narrowed his eyes.

"So, that's why some great existences don't want the Twin Divine Trees to gather so early?"

He speculated softly: "In any case, Twilight has essentially failed before - whether it was besieged or defeated in a one-on-one battle, Twilight's defeat means that the stumbling block in front of the Twin Divine Trees has disappeared, and the correctness of existence and continuation will become a common truth in many multiverses."

If the Divine Trees reunite, then correctness may be born. After all, even Yala can only admit... at least something that other great existences don't want to see will happen, even if the combination of the Divine Trees cannot become true correctness, it is at least half a step, the 'possibility' closest to correctness.

"Could it be what those great existences who sealed you did?"

Su Zhou raised a guess, but Yala quickly shook his head: "They wouldn't do that... in fact, it's very likely that they're still fighting outside. We've just been temporarily exiled from the battlefield."

The Serpent Spirit's expression was a little complicated. He said in a deep voice: "Moreover, sealing the creation of the multiverse itself means that at the last moment, he has overcome Twilight... outside this sealed multiverse, there may already be an almost correct 'ruler'."

At first, it was a bit heavy, but after saying this, Yala's tone became relaxed.

He looked at Su Zhou, and said meaningfully: "However, precisely because I have been defeated and sealed, I have instead thought of a completely new path."

"I guess that those great existences who deliberately separated the Divine Trees and made the World Tree and Twilight meet have also found this path, so they deliberately caused the two theoretically strongest combinations to start conflicts and weaken the Divine Tree lineage that is most likely to succeed."

"They also have their own plans, their own routes to success."

The Serpent Spirit stared at Su Zhou, and Su Zhou also subconsciously recalled his initial agreement with Yala.

——I will not seize you, will not modify your consciousness, and I will not use any means to harm you. You only need to become stronger, the more karma you can take over, the better.

——You will become a completely independent and powerful individual, so that you can free me from 'emptiness'.

——You are my hope, so you must become stronger, strong enough to bear everything.

His heart suddenly moved, and he vaguely felt something.

At this moment, Su Zhou finally understood.

Even in the seal, these great existences have not stopped their actions towards correctness.

Even if they cannot escape from the seal and cannot personally prove it, they still have various methods to replace it.

"Yala, you..." he couldn't help but speak.

And in the soul space, 'Chaos' stared at Su Zhou.

The Serpent Spirit's crimson eyes contained emotions and information that were difficult for humans to understand, it was the gaze of wishes that had taken in all karma.

——You are the test product for me to verify many correctnesses, the test of completely new correctness.

——In front of you, there will be the experiments and plans of many other great existences, and countless obstacles.

Do you regret it? He was silent, seemingly asking silently.

[Chaos] was asking, asking whether the youth feared such a future.

"It's too late to ask now, right? Besides, is there anything to regret or not regret?"

This made Su Zhou couldn't help but reveal a smile: "Such a wonderful adventure, I want to thank you for giving me the power to change the world."

"So, Yala, I will do it, cross all obstacles."

"Divine Tree, Samsara, Perfection, Destiny, Harbinger... we will cross them one by one, and Twilight, although powerful, is just one of them."

"I will become a new principle."

At this moment, Su Zhou raised his head.

A golden-red, dazzling beam of light, enough to melt everything, was directly striking towards his front.

"Good." He exclaimed in praise, compared to before, at least the quality of this artillery fire would not make Su Zhou yawn.

At least, he could hold it back.

That was the main cannon of the Usurper - because they realized that solid ammunition seemed to be just sending Su Zhou weapons, they simply used source energy beam cannons to irradiate the area.

Faced with this city-destroying giant cannon that could burn several mountains together, all Su Zhou did was close his eyes, and his eyelids closed.

The golden-red beam of light swept across nearly a million meters, hitting Su Zhou, who had made no resistance.

Boom!

In an instant, a boiling cloud of fire rose up, and high temperatures and rock vapor shrouded the place where the main gun was attacking, and a long lava track spread behind Su Zhou, reaching thousands of meters away.

A huge lava lake was forming, which was the result of the overflowing source energy fluctuations that had condensed to the extreme.

However, in the beam of light, the black figure never disappeared.

Not only that, the heat that could melt mountains did not even burn off the eyelashes of the figure in the beam of light.

Su Zhou closed his eyes, not because he was afraid of hurting his eyeballs. If he was really going to be hurt, closing or not closing his eyes would be the same in essence.

The answer for him to close his eyes was very simple: that was that it was not a means of defense, but a charge-up.

Buzz!

Su Zhou opened his eyes.

Immediately, two cyan-purple beams of light burst out from his pupils. It traveled against the light cannon, broke through the source energy beam at high speed, and directly slammed into the interior of the Usurper's fleet main gun in an instant!

Boom! With a loud noise, the Usurper's main gun exploded on the spot, and black smoke rose from the center of this solid main battleship, and dazzling sparks and arcs of electricity spread throughout the battleship.

"Retreat!"

Finally understanding that the man who was marching in front of them was not an opponent that they could solve, Aharonov sternly issued an order: "Retreat! Withdraw the troops! Stop attacking!"

"The enemy is not a disaster... but..."

Speaking of this, even the battle-hardened old general couldn't help but feel dry-mouthed.

"He is, the Burning Spirit Realm!"

"He is a god walking in the world!"

Update earlier, a little less, maybe a big chapter tomorrow to make up for it
