Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter Extra 1 The First Zhutian Candlelight Divine Power Exchange Conference (5400)

Chapter 746 Extra: The First All-Heavens Zhuzhou Divine Power Exchange Conference (5400)

Chengdao Dragon Girl's morning begins with a blizzard, a sky full of aurora, the warmth of a heated loft, and two slices of toast, fried eggs, and a glass of hot milk placed on the table beside her.

"The taste is pretty good. This prosthetic body's sensory module is quite impressive."

The white-haired girl's evaluation of the food is very high. Rather, her evaluation of any food is very high—who told this child that she hasn't eaten even a single kind of food since she was born in the Ruins of Creation?

Unless drawing on stellar energy to replenish the fuel of the forge is considered eating, then she hasn't eaten.

Since the Xiguang Zhuzhou Society moved its headquarters to the border of a remote starfield because the atmosphere between the cosmic god systems was becoming increasingly volatile, Chengdao Dragon Girl obtained a bionic prosthetic body. She no longer needs to rely on Shao Shuangyue and can enjoy the life of an ordinary person.

Although, after being severely reprimanded by the Zhuzhou in the Zhuzhou chat group, she probably understood that this behavior was a variety of wrong choices such as 'showing your weaknesses to others', 'stripping away your only advantage as an old grandpa', and 'turning yourself into a mortal, making your Dao heart impure'.

But the food is really delicious!

Thinking of this, Chengdao Dragon Girl, giggling foolishly, couldn't help but recall the all-crab banquet held within the Society a few days ago—the giant crabs caught from the northern border sea were as big as a person's chest, and the crab roe was so rich that it seemed to overflow from the joints.

This kind of 'Yunling Crab' (Spirit-Infused Crab) is a local tyrant in this sea area, with innate water and rock dual-type spiritual energy. It eats whatever it encounters and is extremely fierce. Its large pincers can cut through steel. It generally hides in the deep sea thousands of meters below, and is difficult to catch and cunning, so it is extremely rare.

It is not only rich in nutrition, but also extremely rich in spiritual energy. It is said that the lord who rules this starfield will select a few of the largest and best Yunling Crabs as sacrifices during the annual god-worshipping ceremony. Placed in the starfield market, they can easily fetch more than 50,000 'Divinity Points'.

Because it is a creature of the sea, it is delicious enough without seasoning. At yesterday's banquet, the giant crabs were charcoal-grilled. First, the crab shell was peeled open, other internal organs were removed, and the crab roe was placed in the shell. Under the flame, the crab meat solidified into a white gel. With one bite, Chengdao Dragon Girl even suspected that her sense of taste was malfunctioning, because the smooth touch was like jelly, but it had a full and incomparably fresh flavor.

And after charcoal grilling, the peeled crab meat was mixed with crab roe and stirred into a soup... she can't forget that taste even now!

Perhaps every Zhuzhou likes delicious food. In any case, Chengdao Dragon Girl is having a very happy time now.

Moreover, she now has another name—Shao Shuangyue, knowing that she didn't have a name, proposed that she come up with a code name for herself. At that time, Chengdao Dragon Girl naturally didn't know human customs, and came up with a lot of strange names. In the end, the black-haired girl couldn't bear it any longer and gave her the name 'Shao Xingying'.

"Originally, if my family had a third child, that's what we'd call them. But now it looks like two is the limit. But if there's a third in the future, you have to return the name!"

"No problem! By that time, I'll definitely come up with a name myself!"

However, even though she was once again scolded by the seniors in the group, who said, 'Isn't this being completely dominated!' 'You've even been given a name, you're basically being raised as a pet, where is the Zhuzhou's dignity?!' 'Alas, the world is getting worse, it's a terrible sight…' Xingying didn't completely forget her real purpose in coming to the Xiguang Zhuzhou.

That is to restore her 'Spirit-Machine God Body'!

However, this task is very difficult. Rather, even with the support of Xiguang Zhuzhou, it is difficult for Xingying to achieve this goal.

In the World of Creation, the world of mortals is very prosperous and beautiful, and can even be said to be basically equal.

All living beings can rely on 'Divinity Points', that is, the endless divine power circulated by the gods of the starry sea in the mortal world, to shape and create anything. Everything people need, whether it is fine wine, delicacies, or any luxury, can all be exchanged with Divinity Points.

Of course, that's just saying so, but even if it's really a great harmony society, it's impossible to exchange everything for Divinity Points. After all, the resources spent on catching crabs from the North Sea are much greater than creating a crab out of thin air. Most of the time, Divinity Points are only used to exchange for those truly precious and hard-to-find exotic objects, or extremely advanced spirit-machine components.

This is the order established millions of years ago when the cosmic god system was created by the first co-honored master—all living beings have the opportunity to create everything, as long as they work hard with their own hands, then no one, no god can stop them.

That initial creator of the god system promised peace and well-being to all living beings.

And His order has not been broken.

Even now, Xingying feels that, at least in the mortal world, everything He promised to all living beings has been fulfilled—just like the way she has been living recently. Even on a remote planet, she can still eat delicious food and live a stress-free life. When she looks at the online news, the biggest bad news in the entire starfield of thirty-six planets is actually a lava worm plague on a mining planet.

And what does a lava worm plague mean to the civilization of this world?

It means having a bunch of cockroaches in the house. Although it's scary, it's just scary.

A few days ago, Xingying and Shao Shuangyue went to the surrounding cities together. From flower gardens to jewelry stores, from daily necessities to advanced spirit-machine flagship stores, everything was available, and it was very prosperous.

Although as a border planet, the ordinary people here still need to work to earn rewards in order to obtain housing and food, the work intensity is very low, and a large number of intelligent mechs handle the most tedious and time-consuming physical labor.

And even the poorest ordinary people have a large living room, a dining room, two rooms, a washroom and a kitchen in their allocated houses. If the location is good enough, there are also gardens and swimming pools.

The resources are extremely abundant, and it sounds like paradise—and Xingying heard that on garden planets, even ordinary people who don't work can get three times the housing of border planets, as well as living subsidies and gene repair benefits.

Theoretically speaking, civilization has almost reached its end for ordinary people at this stage. Except for those researchers and explorers who pursue the truth and further afield, people who are only satisfied with life may turn to pursue other dreams, or enjoy the joy of life.

An ordinary but peaceful and prosperous life.

However, in the World of Creation, there are still many people who have not been confined to this gentle hometown of great harmony, but continue to struggle.

Because all these benefits are within the scope of mortals. Or rather, they only provide entertainment for 'mortals'.

Any material, resource, or knowledge related to 'transcendence' all needs 'Divinity Points' to exchange.

The acquisition of Divinity Points requires doing those jobs that truly require 'creativity'—developing new things, fixing bugs, improving existing things, exploring the distance, shutting down redundant projects, increasing income and reducing expenditure, reclaiming new planets… only these jobs can obtain Divinity Points, and then exchange them for 'transcendental materials' to modify their 'God-Ascending Body'.

The Path of the Machine God requires resources and creativity, and once you start exchanging Divinity Points, it means integrating into the order of the World of Creation and becoming a member of the local system.

And how vast was the Spirit-Machine God Body of the Dragon of Chengdao in the past, and how rare were the materials used? That was a natural god body that flowed directly from the source of the Ruins of Creation, a great force equal to the Ten-Heaven God System.

Want to reshape it without attracting the attention of the god system? How is that possible! Every God-Ascender's official ascension to godhood will be a major event that the entire starfield, and even the main god of the god system, will personally pay attention to. There is absolutely no possibility of omission.

Even the leaders of the Xiguang Zhuzhou are only two 'God-Ascenders' and two 'Threshold-Crossers'. They are now stuck at this step and can only try to mine divine materials in the depths of the universe themselves, obtain transcendental substances, and forge their own advanced materials.

But, but even so…

"Isn't this good enough? Those stupid gods in the sky are full and have nothing to do, why do they have to fight to the death!"

Shaking her head, Chengdao Dragon Girl opened the screen in front of her and began to watch today's news. She couldn't help but complain: "When I was the Dragon of Chengdao, I didn't know what the life of the mortal world was like. At that time, I thought the entire universe was short of resources, and these gods were fighting to expand their territory and seize resources."

"Now that I look at it, the entire mortal world is so peaceful, and the god systems don't seem to be short of resources. Then why do they have to fight?"

Her complaint came from the bottom of her heart.

Recently, in addition to living on the peripheral planets of the God System of Creation, Xingying naturally continued to participate in the Zhuzhou chat group as always. Through the daily complaints and venting of negative energy from the group members, she knew very well that the worlds of other people were not very good or complete. It could even be said that the situation was very tricky.

Not to mention the rebels fighting against the multi-dimensional empires, or the Heavenly Demons who were eking out a living in the endless authority of the gods and demons. Just talking about the Divine Wood Zhuzhou, who was pioneering a world alone, was also opening up the future in the wilderness. Whether it was He Himself or the dependents and tribes under His command, all had to tighten their belts and work hard for the future.

Enjoy the blessings like the ordinary people of this world? How is that possible!

"Alas, now it seems that I really can only rely on the guys in the chat group to recast my Spirit-Machine God Body…"

Raising her head again to look at the news, Xingying didn't know whether she was gratified or disappointed to find that the entire starfield was so peaceful that 'someone learned to cook at home, but oil splashed on their own cat, and the cat scratched their face bloody' could become the headline news. It was simply unbelievable.

This was completely the opposite of the tense atmosphere of the god systems in the universe.

She would also worry that when the Ten-Heaven God System and the Four Forbidden Zones went to war, whether this seemingly peaceful and tranquil mortal world would be as fragile as a ceramic statue, shattering with a single knock.

But now, it's indeed time to check the group.

The white-haired girl leaned back in her chair. She closed her eyes and sank deep into her soul space.

Recently, since the sudden appearance of a large number of divine power updates, the function updates of the All-Heavens Zhuzhou chat group have also been very numerous.

She didn't know what the mysterious and extremely powerful group owner had done. In any case, the current All-Heavens Zhuzhou chat group could actually transmit materials and abilities between each other across time and space!

"Should be the power of the Celestial Calibration and the Galaxy Star? Zhuzhou is getting a lot stronger…" This was Shao Shuangyue's murmur. Xingying naturally didn't understand what the Celestial Calibration and the Galaxy Star were, but this function was updated, and the many Zhuzhou in the group cheered and were even grateful.

This is not an exaggeration.

Among the Zhuzhou in the Zhuzhou chat group, the few who were truly strong were the Heavenly Demon Zhuzhou, the Divine Wood Zhuzhou, and the Dragon and Phoenix Zhuzhou, and even when she herself was still the Dragon of Chengdao, her strength was actually in the forefront.

Most Zhuzhou are ignorant newborn beasts in small worlds, and some are still surviving in the wilderness. Their strength is completely embryonic, just awakened. They have to be careful to get injured when fighting a ferocious bear.

In the past, these Zhuzhou could only practice the cultivation methods given by the big shots in the group, slowly cultivate bit by bit, and patiently wait for the day when thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river would come.

But even so, it was actually very dangerous. After all, things are unpredictable, and cultivation is not a matter of one day or night. And the stronger the inheritance, the smoother it is in the early stage. Therefore, occasionally one or two Zhuzhou would encounter danger. Although they may not have died, they hadn't appeared in the group for a long time. It was estimated that they were resting and recuperating.

However, after updating this transmission function, everything is different!

[Acquire all advanced spirit-machines, all efficient fertilizers, World Dust is the highest priority! Exchange for various spirit plants, and even high-quality Undying Divine Medicines!]

This is the advertisement that Divine Wood Zhuzhou hung on the homepage of his personal panel. He is developing a world, and what he needs most is the most advanced agricultural tools and spirit-machines to strengthen the technical level of his dependents. And fertilizers naturally go without saying that whether it is cultivating normal crops or other spirit plants, it is the best way to strengthen a race.

As for World Dust, this divine material, which is said to be born only after the destruction of the world, is probably one of the most precious divine materials in the entire void. For Divine Wood, it can be said to be the ultimate nutrient.

For Divine Wood Zhuzhou, this material is extremely precious because all of His surroundings are new worlds, and there is no World Dust at all. However, if it is a Zhuzhou near some old and decaying worlds, although this divine material is precious, it is not particularly difficult to obtain.

And the Undying Divine Medicine, as the name suggests, is a divine object produced by Divine Wood Zhuzhou. It is the essence of His own life force, focusing on the rare spirit plants he personally cultivates, containing the power of the Great Dao, which can prolong the life of ordinary people, transform their bodies, and directly reach the realm of immortality.

It is said that in some special worlds where it is impossible to live long, an Undying Divine Medicine can even allow a Heavenly Venerate-level figure to live a second life and suppress another era!

[Help! Please, big shots, crack my enemy's divine power, it's urgent, waiting online!]

This is a request for help from a Giant Shark Zhuzhou in the group. The world he is in is a world of Giant Beast Titans. There are dozens of extremely powerful overlord-level giant beasts in the entire world. Just their existence itself can bring about incredible natural disasters or natural transformations. The Giant Shark Zhuzhou is one of them and can control the endless ice ocean.

The Giant Shark Zhuzhou and a huge octopus are mortal enemies. This octopus can mentally interfere and create many illusions and dreams. It is also infinitely changeable, making it impossible to find its location, causing many giant beasts who are its enemies to fall into the predicament of only being beaten by it and not being able to beat it. The Giant Shark Zhuzhou is obviously caught in the trick and is now struggling in the illusion, so he can only ask for help in the group.

If it were normal times, other Zhuzhou would at most just explain the secrets of breaking illusions to him on the spot. How to do it specifically would depend on luck—after all, saying is just saying, and not every Zhuzhou has good language expression ability to make the other party understand, let alone do it according to what they said.

But now, what the Zhuzhou chat group can transmit is not only divine power inheritance, but also matter and 'ability' itself!

In other words, you can pay a certain price and ask someone to play on your behalf!

[No problem, illusions, I'm good at this, but I have to cure this patient first.]

The one who replied was the Heavenly Demon Zhuzhou—He calls Himself a god—He is indeed unusually specialized in illusions, and can even help the Giant Shark Zhuzhou escape from the predicament without playing on his behalf or possessing him with a slight guidance.

But now, He is communicating with another patient.

[Doctor, I really suspect that I have been infected with the Dao Heart Demon Seeding Technique, or the Heavenly Demon Sickness, please be sure to take a look at me!]

[No, you are just ordinary restlessness, lack of concentration, practice the Ice Heart Technique and the Soul Condensation Mystic Method.]

Obviously, this answer does not conform to the mentality of the questioner—coming to the hospital, if you pay the registration fee but you are not sick, you will definitely feel that you have lost money. Since you are here, it is worthwhile to get a little sick—so he still insists on asking: [But doctor, I still think I have been Dao Heart Demon Seeded!]

The Heavenly Demon Zhuzhou is also very helpless for such a patient: [Well, then I still advise you to condense your Dao Heart first, if you really want to be Dao Heart Demon Seeded, then it's not too late...]

The daily dynamics in the group are so strange and varied.

The Zhuzhou of the Heavens takes this group as a base point, exchanges divine power techniques with each other, transmits the materials they need to each other, and can even ask people to heal their injuries and cure their diseases to crack the enemy's divine power. Although the price paid is very high, and even they themselves will be severely injured, in times of crisis, they can even ask people to play on their behalf!

Because you can pull up small windows for private chat at any time, such complex content is not chaotic at all in the group.

Originally, the Zhuzhou felt that this Zhuzhou chat group was mysterious and unpredictable, had no origin, and the group owner had been silent all the time. It was simply suspicious among the suspicious. If it was not necessary and they were in a desperate situation, no one would want to easily come here to speak.

Who knows, will they be entangled by Heavenly Demons, encounter something ominous, and grow red hair?

But now…

Suspicious is suspicious! I just like to be entangled by ominous things! (Red hair thumbs up)

And the group owner, who was originally silent and desireless in everyone's mind, and almost did not exist, is now unpredictable, extremely majestic, and simply like the incarnation of the Great Dao, omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent in the minds of the Zhuzhou!

Xingying came to the group this time to see if any Zhuzhou were selling transcendental materials. After all, the exchange in the Pioneer Space is at a flat price, where is it cheaper than plane transactions? Just like that Undying Divine Medicine, if you really want to buy it, it will cost at least two S-level development permissions, but now? You can get it by using a little A-level spirit-machine or a little exploration value to exchange for World Dust!

However, this time is a little different.

After worshiping the original Zhuzhou, the group owner who has been diving and silent so far, together with the other group members, expressing their gratitude and respect to this great power who saved the Zhuzhou from water and fire, Xingying knew a big news.

An opportunity that may be able to collect most of the Spirit-Machine God Body materials in one go!

[The First All-Heavens Zhuzhou Divine Power Exchange Conference]

These thirteen bright characters are hung at the top of the group announcement and are pinned to the top.

And the one who pinned it to the top, needless to ask.

Naturally, it is the group owner, the Original Zhuzhou!
