【Great Existence · Balance】

Just judgment, the essence of adjudication, the contract between humans and gods, heaven and earth, the witness of all vows and agreements—He is the one who holds the scales, and also the one who assigns value and meaning to all things.

Those 'exchanges' that can be obtained by paying a price, whether it is the great god who hangs himself upside down on the Tree of Wisdom and sacrifices his eyes, or the evil disciple who offers his soul to the devil and trades for power.

Whether it is the Gate of Truth or the Wishing Technique, whether it is making a great wish to heaven and earth in exchange for merit and supernatural powers, or simply using casting materials to cast spells.

All of this is the power of balance.

Su Zhou felt surprisingly familiar with this great existence that Yala spoke of.

After all, no matter what mythology, what legend, or even what story—equivalent exchange, or offering sacrifices in exchange for rewards, or even using materials to cast spells and refine magic potions, the essence contained in them is all part of balance.

"So that's it... Anything, as long as it exists, must have achieved some kind of balance, and even existence itself is the result of a balance."

Listening to the information about Balance that Yala transmitted to him, Su Zhou nodded, revealing an expression of understanding: "The balance of giving and receiving, the balance of losing and regaining, life and death, yin and yang... Sounds like a very upright path."

"Indeed, if forcibly imposing one's will on others is so-called 'evil', then Balance does pay great attention to the will of every life, even the weakest little fairy. He does not impose any influence, only those who actively seek Him to sign a contract can become the 'family' of Balance."

This time, Yala did not refute Su Zhou, but he quickly changed the subject: "But—but, if it's too upright, there is no subjective kinetic energy. Who can generally think of finding a channel to sign a contract with Him?"

"Moreover, the family of Balance, in addition to the balance of the world, are also observers who don't move unless others call them... And as long as it is not destroying the world, this ultimate 'loss', then what in the world is unbalanced?"

At this point, Yala shook his head slightly: "Of course, the point is not here. I don't have much contact or conflict with Balance, and I don't know much about Him..."

—Not very knowledgeable, and you call others idle objective monsters?

Su Zhou thought silently in his heart, but after all, he had high emotional intelligence, so he did not say this idea.

And Yala continued: "...But I am very clear that whether it is Balance or his family, they will choose to observe first if they don't encounter anything big. They want to see the cause and effect of everything clearly, understand it, and analyze a context before they take action and adjudicate the 'balanced ending'."

"The Pioneers and Balance do have a good relationship, because 'exploration' itself is the price of 'correctness'. Balance believes that as long as you continue to explore and discover more unknowns, when the 'price' reaches a sufficient level, it is enough to be called 'correct'."

Saying this, Yala looked at the brown-haired, blue-eyed, somewhat颓废 middle-aged man through Su Zhou's eyes.

He stared at Decimus, his tone curious: "I'm not surprised that a member of the Balance family wants to join the Pioneer space, but I'm very curious as to why they want to do this."

"According to my understanding, unless they encounter some major trouble that they absolutely cannot solve, they would not make this choice."

"That's true."

Su Zhou also nodded, deeply agreeing: "A trouble that can make a Celestial Venerable, one of the future inheritors of the 'Dao Integration Armament,' want to escape from the World of Creation... Sure enough, Pioneer explorers are all humanoid trouble magnets. If I hadn't met him, Decimus would definitely have been involved in this trouble."

"That's what he asked for." The snake spirit complained: "Isn't that the kind of people they are, so they become Pioneer dependents?"

Smiling and shaking his head, Su Zhou stopped walking and stood still.

"I've decided."

He said, and then, under the curious gaze of Decimus and Krossel, who looked like 'what have you decided?', he nodded: "I'll get involved in this trouble."

Although Zhuzhou is not a fan of fun, he is happy to participate in the fun.

In the end, it's also the fault of the Celestial Scale. This thing always brings him into the center of the dispute, so that now Su Zhou also likes this direct and straightforward feeling of crashing into a big event.

"Krossel, I've already given you the bloodline and cultivation information you wanted. I hope that when I come back next time, you've already become a hegemon. Don't be too involved in the affairs of the Society. In this era, you should also find a deputy and successor."

After instructing his subordinates, Su Zhou turned his head and said to Decimus: "Time is of the essence. If you have anything you need to prepare, do it as soon as possible. When you're done, we'll set off."

Decimus naturally had nothing to do—Su Zhou's willingness to help him in itself solved countless troubles, causing the somewhat worried man to relax his brows.

"No problem, Lord." He endured his excitement and joy, and then stepped back: "I'm going back to prepare my equipment, and then I can set off!"

Su Zhou naturally had no objections.

Soon, Decimus was ready. He stepped ahead of the youth, and in a burst of spiritual light, returned to the Pioneer space, preparing to receive Su Zhou's arrival.

And Su Zhou also returned to his main body in Mercury orbit at this time.

-Solar System Mercury Orbit-

The golden sunlight was dazzling, releasing endless energy and spiritual energy, making the surrounding area seem like an ocean of active spiritual energy.

A huge Divine Wood battleship was slowly moving in space, absorbing the sun's rays with the leaves on its body. Complex rune arrays flowed on the silver-cyan hull of the battleship, causing a wave of space-time distortion, absorbing the surrounding majestic spiritual energy.

But suddenly, this silent, dormant battleship began to operate.

The rumbling roar, the start of the furnace, the engine pressurization, all the fire control systems began to be fine-tuned, aimed, and the central system was activated.

The will of the youth, at this moment, returned to his body.

"Departure!"

The returning Su Zhou activated the Pioneer beacons given by Funiya and Decimus at the first time.

In an instant, layers of silver brilliance, like the Milky Way, covered the entire Divine Wood warship. The majestic power seemed to come from the other end of a distant time and space, wanting to pull Su Zhou to the other end of the multiverse.

But this power was not great enough, just like if a ship without an anchor, no matter how large it is, it is impossible to remain unmoved under the dragging of other ships, but with an anchor, the effort required will increase several times.

Su Zhou is that ship with an anchor, and there is more than one anchor, each of which is very large and heavy.

However, Su Zhou was prepared. At the same time, he activated the Celestial Scale, sending himself into the void, using the positioning ability of the Celestial Scale to conform to the traction of the Pioneer beacon, and then began to spontaneously teleport through time and space.

The vortex formed by the twisting of time and space covered one side of the sun.

As a result, Mercury, which was in the same orbit, was completely covered by the vortex that absorbed all light and spiritual energy, ushering in a long-lost dark night.

And at the same time.

A silver trajectory rapidly moved forward in the ice-condensed void, following the guidance of the unknown, towards the remote edge of the multiverse, to the end of the infinitely extending radiation lines!

Cold, shaking...

When Decimus returned to his personal space, he sensed the rapid, cold wind at the top of the sky and the mage tower swaying slightly in the wind beneath his feet.

"Well, it seems that during the time I was away, the automatic repair system of the mage tower has had problems again."

Frowning slightly, then easing, as a great magician, Decimus certainly knew that as long as he could not reach the point of 'constant and permanent spells', then his mage tower, which he had specially built in the etheric space, would continue to shake under the constant and ever-changing etheric winds, until it fell and collapsed.

The initial personal space of the Pioneers in the Pioneer space was just an ordinary room. Explorers needed to constantly exchange and expand it to become their own personal base or even world.

As a high-end explorer who had already achieved the Overlord Realm, Decimus had long ago upgraded his personal space to its peak—an etheric world where he could view many world stars in the void, empty except for a floating island.

In this world, the etheric winds never cease. They constantly bombard and decompose all matter in this world, until they are all transformed into ether. Decimus used his own magic to stabilize a floating island of dozens of square kilometers and a mage tower towering at the top of the world in such a harsh world.

No matter what standard is used, Decimus can be regarded as a standard Pioneer family member, and one with considerable strength, a friendly personality, and very good at communication.

Because of his friendliness, many times, when Decimus explored in other worlds, he did not need to fight at all. He could obtain information and even complete tasks with his personal charm and communication skills.

It is even said that once, in a mission world with five teams participating at the same time, he used diplomatic means to traverse various forces, and forcibly eased the originally incompatible relationship between the elves, dwarves, and humans, guiding them to the negotiating table.

Naturally, this path, which had never been imagined, greatly rewarded him in the Pioneer space, while the other four teams stared blankly at the 'mission canceled' notification, completely at a loss.

But this does not mean that he has no strength.

In fact, the reason why the three forces he persuaded were mainly because Decimus solved the problem of food shortage for them, and also gave them a way to open up the fertile soil of the distant Black Forest. Based on this, he showed his demigod-level strength, and then used both kindness and power, which made the three parties willing to sit at the negotiating table and solve the accumulated grievances of previous years with words rather than war.

How can you reason without working out?

And in the World of Creation, the reason why he got in touch with the Lord of the Imperial Balance Dao and even got a mission was because of this.

Decimus remembered that at that time, he was preparing to go to the vicinity of a pulsar for experimental investigation.

His purpose was to collect information and spiritual energy models of the pulsar's magnetic field.

The power of a pulsar is an extremely powerful natural spell in itself. With a little modification and specialization, it can become a part of his strength.

However, just as Decimus was really approaching the pulsar, he saw that on the near-star orbit, there was actually a Lord wearing black-gold armor, silent, walking in the violent magnetic field of the pulsar.

Enough to tear apart the stars, the distant aftershocks can light up the sky, filling the world with aurora-filled star power. For that Lord, it may just be a rather harmonious breeze that can relieve headaches. The strong man covered by the helmet could not see his expression, but his sorrow was obvious.

This Lord, of course, discovered Decimus who was approaching, but did not say much. After inquiring about the purpose of this visitor from another world, He actually took the initiative to leave, politely giving this pulsar to Decimus, and prepared to find another pulsar with a more correct frequency to walk around.

Such a good talker, with such a good temper, and apparently in trouble, how could Decimus let go of the opportunity to seek knowledge? He naturally used all means to communicate with the other party and find out the reason for the other party's sorrow.

To put it simply, that is, seeing a guy with an orange exclamation point hanging on his head, obviously with high-level rare hidden missions, no matter what means he uses, he must ask for a mission from Him!

Facts have also proved that Decimus's communication skills are indeed extraordinary, and this Lord is indeed in trouble, and now wants to leave this universe and temporarily get out of the quagmire.

Next, whether to use the power of the Pioneer space to improve his strength, return to his hometown to solve the trouble, restore balance, or completely break away from the mother world... that is something the mage is not very clear about.

"I remember... it seems that there was a problem within the Imperial Balance Dao. Although Lord Cass Tararo spoke vaguely, I can guess that there was probably an internal war in the Imperial Balance Dao?"

After casting a spell to stabilize the structure of the mage tower and optimizing the AI of the automatic defense shield, Decimus felt that his skills had improved a lot.

He really did not dare to ask for details about Lord Cass's experience.

However, judging from the fact that the Imperial Balance Dao has not issued orders to their subordinate star regions for more than tens of thousands of years, or even sent gods to inspect and supervise, Decimus speculated that the problems they encountered were definitely not small, enough to involve the power and energy of all related gods.

Originally, this mage was planning to use relevant information to explore the internal information of the Imperial Balance Dao... but it is different now.

With the interpersonal relationships he has cultivated and the lucky early preparations, he, Decimus, has invited another Lord!

Moreover, it is still a very powerful Lord, even the former leader of the Void Sect, one of the pinnacle forces of the entire Milky Way universe, can be killed by him!

Su Zhou himself may not think so.

But his strength, in the eyes of many Pioneer space explorers in Earth, Nine Profound Realm, and even Qingqiu Beast God Realm, is simply the level of the behind-the-scenes boss of a great world, and has attracted much attention from many explorers.

There are even some explorers who write books in space to study Su Zhou's various information, and analyze it as a topic.

Want to brush him?

Don't joke!

With the current strength of the top exploration teams and adventurer groups in the Pioneer space, even if they all go together, they will probably be easily suppressed by the other party!

And because Su Zhou's words and deeds are enough to affect the fate of the entire galaxy and even the entire universe, if he issues a mission, the Pioneer space will directly give a high reward with a base of s-level development permission.

Su Zhou himself is even more generous with rewards.

For example, in the process of rebuilding the Nine Profound Realm, many explorers from the Pioneer space contributed. The youth knew that the other party had already received a reward in the Pioneer space, but he still issued the reward in full, and even paid an extra wave of rewards with his own collection for some explorers who completed it well.

May I ask, what explorer or adventurer would not like such a generous, friendly NPC who gives double rewards at the slightest disagreement?

However, after making all the preparations, and even putting on his strongest set of combat equipment, Decimus has not yet waited for Su Zhou's arrival.

"Could it be that something unexpected happened?"

Frowning slightly, Decimus stood on the top of his mage tower, overlooking the endless void outside his personal space. He couldn't help but fall into deep thought: "Although I knew early on that there would definitely be many problems in letting a strong man from the outside world come to the Pioneer space, in theory, with the traction of the Pioneer beacon, even the most remote world can definitely arrive here..."

Just as Decimus was waiting patiently.

Suddenly, in the ice-condensed void, the starry galaxy formed by the light of countless worlds suddenly showed a subtle distortion.

The ice-condensed void is the void solidified by the Great Seal - if it is a normal multiverse, the void will have endless space-time turbulence due to the fluctuations of many worlds themselves, and although the space-time turbulence is chaotic, it is also orderly in chaos. If you master the rules, even the overlord-level powerhouse can move freely in the void along the space-time flow, and go to the world with the beacon.

But in the ice-condensed void, everything is stagnant. Although the overlord powerhouse can also enter the void, with their energy reserves, they can only carry out world travel in a very close area. A little longer, they will be lost in the void and difficult to return.

Even if they achieve immortality and become celestial beings, it does not mean that they can move freely in the ice-condensed void. They must learn special methods of void travel, or forge special magic weapons, to carry out long-distance travel.

However, the power of the Pioneer space can cross the entire multiverse, ignoring the Great Seal.

Or rather, it is itself a part of the Great Seal. It is the privilege brought by the Pioneer’s self-sacrifice for His family!

However, at this moment, the stars of the heavens are twisted and reversed due to the actions of a person who is not a member of the Pioneer family.

Even the light of the world is covered by the spiritual energy fluctuations of an existence.

It is like a calm lake, reflecting the light of the stars, suddenly scattered by the undulating waves, turning into glittering silver, with a kind of turbulent beauty.

Decimus had never seen such a spectacle in the void. The light of the world was distorted by the power of an existence, and even briefly formed an area of ​​space-time turbulence. When this distorted but dazzling light spot continued to approach, enlarge, and fly towards his world, the overlord mage woke up from his dream and opened his eyes wide.

The extremely familiar aura, and the spiritual energy fluctuations that surpassed the sun, the identity of the other party is obvious.

"Is it, Lord Su Zhou?!"

"Why did he fly over directly?!"

Of course, I flew over directly.

The power of the Celestial Scale can indeed ensure that Su Zhou can move freely in the ice-condensed void, faster than those who have studied the method of void travel for thousands of years, but because it is only a tool after all, it needs guidance to act.

With the Pioneer beacon, Su Zhou did arrive at the periphery of the Pioneer space, and was not repelled by the Pioneer force, but also because his strength was too high, the beacon did not have the permission to forcibly guide him to someone's personal space.

Therefore, Su Zhou can only act on his own, and proceed to his personal space through the breath of Decimus that he sensed before.

Soon, accompanied by the shining of silver brilliance, the Divine Wood warship arrived outside Decimus's personal space.

But an awkward problem happened again.

——Su Zhou's main body is larger than Decimus's personal space.

His main body is now half the size of the moon, although there are many internal spaces, and it is more compact, but it is indeed larger than the other party's personal space.

Very awkward, but this is the fact.

Large does not mean powerful. Even a human can destroy a star, but Su Zhou's true body has many functions and needs to be loaded into a huge and tough body.

Essentially, when the strength reaches Su Zhou's level, whether it is a human or a true body, it is just a port for releasing its own power. It needs to be operated carefully, play with skills, sneak attacks, high-speed movement, then the human form is naturally good.

But if you just need simple and crude energy bombardment, exert physical destructive power, repair/destroy the world, and fight against the entire star fleet with your own strength, then the ultimate Divine Wood warship with hundreds of thousands more gun barrels on its body than a human form is obviously a better choice.

Su Zhou is not unable to spiritualize his main body, but the spiritualized energy is still so much! It's just a matter of converting a form.

As soon as he enters Decimus's personal space, his space will be directly blown up!

"It's okay, my lord, I'll solve this problem right away!"

Staring blankly at the huge warship outside the personal space, blocking the entire ice-condensed void, Decimus, who felt that his megalophobia was about to come out, wiped a cold sweat.

Although Su Zhou didn't speak, how could he not figure out what the problem was with his IQ and EQ?

Therefore, he replied decisively: "I will exchange for a higher-level space so that you can come in!"

Without any hesitation, the mage immediately spent his inventory of two s-level development permissions and 500,000 exchange points to directly upgrade his personal space to the point of a 'complete plane seed'!

Immediately, although the entire world did not change in any way on the surface, it was no longer an ordinary demiplane, but a true plane core that could draw endless spiritual energy from the ice-condensed void, constantly expand itself, grow itself, and have a much higher load-bearing capacity!

As long as there are opportunities and resources, this plane core has the potential to grow into a complete universe!

Although it looks like it doesn't matter on the surface, Decimus's heart is really bleeding: "Exchange points are easy to say, you will always have them after exploring for a long time, but development permissions are not easy to get. Every time it is a life-and-death situation. Originally, it was intended as the action fund for rescuing Chris... but it doesn't matter!"

"Being able to get Lord Su Zhou to help me, any price is worth it! What's more, I haven't lost anything. This plane seed is just temporarily unusable, but it may not be in the future!"

"Thank you for your trouble."

Su Zhou was still frowning, thinking about whether to cut himself off and enter the Pioneer space - after all, for him, this kind of spiritual power can be recovered by simply finding a place to meditate for a period of time, and even appropriately optimize it once to reduce redundant parts.

But Decimus's high EQ action immediately made his impression of him rise a lot.

The youth is very clear about the other party's purpose, wanting to rescue his lover, a very simple and sincere wish.

Since the other party is determined and willing to pay, Su Zhou is naturally willing to help the other party... what's more, he also smelled a strange smell from it.

The cosmic god system of the World of Creation, even if they want to study the essence of the Pioneer space, they must have finished the research now. Those Pioneer explorers, either killed or released, logically speaking, there is no reason to keep them locked up, wasting time and wasting resources. A supernatural power that can block the transmission of the Pioneer space is definitely not something that can be maintained so easily.

Just like Su Zhou is also difficult to be transmitted by the Pioneer space, the cosmic god system, at least, is using a strange object almost at the same level as the Celestial Scale, which should be a notch weaker, so that it can block the Pioneer space's call to its family.

This kind of thing should not be used on a group of ordinary explorers.

But Decimus has no way to revive his lover, nor can he find her news, which proves that the female explorer named Chris is still in the hands of the cosmic god system, has not died, nor has been released.

Su Zhou felt that this matter itself was a doubt and a key to revealing the secrets behind the World of Creation.

Thinking like this, he has transformed his Divine Wood warship into a group of cyan-purple light wheels, stored in his soul space - but the huge spiritual substance still affects the world, making Su Zhou's every move cause the tremor of Decimus's personal space.

In the nervous expression of the mage, who swallowed his saliva, Su Zhou stepped forward.

He stepped on the other party's personal space.

Immediately, the entire world was tilted because of this!

Whether it is the etheric wind, or the floating island and the mage tower - the heaven and earth, up and down, of the entire plane are twisted because of Su Zhou's actions!

The place where the youth set foot is the baseline of 'earth', and the floating island automatically twists its position to align with this horizontal line.

Above the youth's head is the position of 'heaven'. Infinite etheric clouds fly and flow, converting areas, and finally once again shrouded in the new 'dome'.

——Change the world, let the world respect the strong, rather than the strong abide by the world.

There is no doubt that with Su Zhou's current strength, for a small world, it can cause such drastic changes.

But in the final analysis, he still entered it and did not cause the world to collapse.

This is already considered a success.

"Good job, don't worry, you won't lose out."

Raising his head, Su Zhou praised Decimus, who was sweating profusely and almost thought that his personal space, into which he had poured countless efforts, was about to be destroyed, and then closed his eyes, carefully sensing the various changes that he sensed after he officially stepped into the Pioneer space.

Decimus's personal space is also a place shrouded in Pioneer power. After he stepped into it, Su Zhou could sense that a direct force originating from the Pioneer was surging towards his true spirit, seemingly wanting to mark a mark, an imprint.

This is the mark that every Pioneer explorer will have, which is convenient for the Pioneer space to issue tasks to them and carry out transmission across the multiverse.

"Interesting, it seems that the rumor that the Pioneer space can resurrect explorers is true. With such an imprint, even if the soul is shattered, the Pioneer space can still reassemble all the information fragments from the endless time and space... What a gentle great existence."

With a slight sigh, Su Zhou praised the Pioneer, but did not intend to brand himself with this mark.

Why?

Are you kidding me, Yala will be angry!

Of course, the main reason is that it can't be imprinted. Su Zhou's level is indeed too high, and he is directly sheltered by the power of Yala and the Celestial Scale. Although the Pioneer is powerful, it has not reached the point where it can break through these two layers of defense.

However, without accepting this imprint, it is impossible to become an official Pioneer explorer.

"Su Zhou, where is the book that Perfect gave you? Take it out!"

At this moment, before Su Zhou could ask, Yala the Dōraemon became excited and took the initiative to suggest: "Hurry up, I have a good idea!"

"The Prajna Book? Okay."

Su Zhou happily agreed and materialized the 'Prajna Book', which could peek into the perfect future of all beings, from his soul.

The red snake spirit stretched out its tail and opened the pages of the book.

Yala at this moment, his expression was both serious and excited, the tip of his tail flashed with chaotic brilliance, repeating back and forth, as if distorting everything... then, taking this chaotic force as a guide, he pulled the Pioneer's power and imprinted it on the book.

Buzz!

The Prajna Book trembled and hummed violently, releasing golden brilliance, reflecting each other with the Pioneer's silver brilliance, illuminating Decimus's entire personal space!

After that, it could be seen that a totem imprinted with the source of infinite radiation lines appeared on a page of the originally blank Perfect Book.

"So that's it... Taking the Prajna Book as an intermediary to carry the Pioneer's mark - and the Prajna Book is indeed a part of me, but I can completely control it, and thus also control the Pioneer's mark through the Prajna Book!"

Su Zhou's eyes lit up, he stretched out his hand and took this brand-new Prajna Book from Yala's tail: "As long as I hold this book, I am a Pioneer explorer, and if I put it away, I am a free man Su Zhou!"

"I can sense that the power of the Pioneer template is in this book... Let me see!"

Without further ado, the youth opened the Prajna Book.
