Chapter 505 So, Let's Meet in the Future (12,000 words, seeking monthly tickets!)

"At least, they need to see this form."

Su Zhou's voice, filled with a smile, resonated in the atmosphere of Io.

And the solar crystal on the chest of the Candle Dragon True Form, Cosmic War 2.97 Ultimate Edition, emitted a light far exceeding the brightness of the surface of a star (though it wasn't particularly useful).

The strong light of the searchlight shone on the face of the warship armor, which was being rolled up by the blade tail, casting a long shadow behind it.

The giant, completely covered in lava armor, looked bewildered.

For Tain the Seer, when the shadow of the giant dragon-shaped beast completely covered the warship armor that could no longer heal itself, the feeling of this Cerasti was as incredible as a dream.

"This is...an Aether Dragon? A Star Eater? No, no, this is a super creature that has never appeared in the bloodline inheritance!"

The instinct that constantly warned "Danger! Leave now!" told Tain that although those giant beasts that could naturally roam among the stars were incredibly large, if they were both at the Fifth Level, the sense of danger they gave was not even one-tenth of that of the monster in front of him!

The Cerasti were a race that greatly enjoyed comparing themselves to each other and participating in competitions.

They liked to study knowledge and compete in strength, whether it was spiritual power cultivation or physical strength, and even the length of their daily walks could be included in the scope of the competition.

In fact, during the golden age of their civilization, two Cerasti who didn't get along with each other really got angry about this.

"I'll definitely beat you in remote exploration!"

"You'll beat me? I'll eat you in one bite!"

In short, after a rather intense argument, the two simultaneously piloted exploration ships towards the frontier. They traveled through countless galaxies and nebulae, crossed the border defenses of several countries, flew past the edge of the Cosmic Whale's lair, and fled from the pursuit of the Taiyu Zerg for more than ten years... While competing with each other, they raced all the way through the unknown darkness of the galaxy, and thus explored tens of thousands of unknown lands that no one had ever explored before.

If it hadn't been for the fact that 138 years later, this competition was decided when a few "Void Cloud Beasts" suddenly appeared during a journey through the vicinity of a black hole, causing one of the contestants to be seriously injured, they probably would have continued the competition like this.

Although the competition ended, the frontier of civilization was greatly expanded as a result.

And because of this unprecedented competition, many Cerasti developed a passion for exploring the distance. They imitated the appearance of their predecessors, piloting exploration ships alone and flying towards the unexplored distance, intending to surpass the achievements of their predecessors.

That was the prelude to the Cerasti Great Exploration Era.

Because they were all children of the stars, with the same origin and almost the same talent, if they didn't compare each other and create differences in terms of "spirit" and "effort," the development and evolution of the Cerasti would inevitably stagnate.

But, at this moment.

Faced with such a terrifying beast in front of him, and the almost substantive, ferocious power of curse and resentment that could only be formed by killing countless lives, Tain the Seer felt only pure bewilderment and despair in his heart.

Compare? Compare what?

The number of lives killed by this guy, just looking at the fragments of curse and resentment lingering beside him, was at least several hundred million!

How many hundred million Cerasti are there in total now?

Moreover, even his warship armor, which he had prepared for a long time as his final trump card, was defeated by the opponent's "non-combat form" with a single blow... Then, facing the opponent's combat form, did he still have even one in a billion chance of winning?

"What's wrong, are you from the Cerasti Civilization? Wake up."

A kind voice came, and Tain felt his body shake as it was moved by the blade tail.

And at this moment, he felt that the inexplicable power that had been at the wound, hindering the regeneration of the armor, was withdrawn—immediately, the flesh sprouts intertwined with each other, sewing together the front of the warship armor that was almost completely destroyed.

The inexplicable loss of life, the continuous loss of essence, finally stopped.

Only then did Tain, who had been somewhat dazed because his all-out blow that had gathered his entire spirit, energy, and soul had been blasted head-on, completely wake up.

And at this moment, he met a pair of condescending blue-purple dragon eyes.

"Now, one more time, send my relevant information to the leaders behind your civilization—complete, clear, without the slightest concealment. I know you can do it."

Su Zhou stood on the lava-filled ground, his tone calm at this moment.

And behind him, the blue teardrop-shaped exploration spaceship also landed on Io's surface, and Ketarren and K-Cole walked out of it, then flew to Su Zhou's side.

The three, who had originally intended to conduct peaceful negotiations and a formal diplomatic visit, were now all staring at the huge armor that was wrapped in a blade tail and on the verge of death.

Their gazes were very peaceful, friendly, and eager to communicate.

Obviously, Su Zhou had not given up on the intention of peaceful negotiation at this moment.

As for Tain's inexplicable attack and declaration earlier...

How could Su Zhou take a child's tantrum to heart?

Although Tain's fully activated warship armor and his subsequent all-out strike aroused a trace of interest in him, for Su Zhou, who had already digested a portion of the Candle Dragon Dharma Body inheritance and was about to upgrade the Candle Day True Form, Cosmic War Form to a brand new 3.0 version, even taking that attack head-on would only break a few scales.

And after the scales were broken, who would be more seriously injured was questionable.

Moreover, the other party's abnormal behavior obviously had some very important reason as a motivation.

The word "heretic," which was full of true and sincere hatred, made him even more interested.

"Yala, what do you think is going on?"

While waiting for Tain's answer, Su Zhou asked the Snake Spirit in his soul space.

The term "heretic" in religious context is very different from "unbeliever" and "pagan."

The latter two are "do not believe in God" and "believe in other gods"—simple and easy to understand, with clear labels.

But a heretic must belong to the "same camp" but hold unorthodox thoughts, theories, and ideologies. Only such existence with complex definitions can receive this special title.

Pagans can be won over, but heretics cannot.

The Cerasti were an ancient and powerful religious civilization, and the existence they believed in, according to the Enterprise Alliance's database, was the "Galaxy Star" and the "Holy Land." And the essence of the "Holy Land" was a "living planet" in a certain sense.

Su Zhou didn't understand what a living planet meant yet, but Tain's calling him a heretic probably wasn't because of this—that giant eye that had come across the stars must have observed something, which was why Tain, who wasn't originally radical, suddenly became fanatical and full of hatred towards him.

If that was the case, then it could only be because of the "Galaxy Star."

"Isn't that obvious? It must be because the aura of the Celestial God's Scale on you is similar to the aura of their Galaxy Star, making them think that you and they have the same 'faith'."

Yala nodded thoughtfully, His thoughts were the same as Su Zhou's: "These two are probably condensed from some fragments of the Great Seal."

"As for the heretic... I think, if it's really what I think, maybe it's because you're my Pact-Keeper."

The Snake Spirit didn't say what He was thinking, and the youth didn't care.

Because just now, Tain, after a brief hesitation, gritted his teeth again and pressed the emergency notification button.

In a burst of violent spiritual energy fluctuations, he sent out the entire process of his battle with Su Zhou, as well as the power of Su Zhou's current form... Tain packed all the information together and sent it out.

"...Send it, then. You said it!"

Then, Tain, feeling that he had completed his duty, closed his observation organs and prepared to die.

Of course, Su Zhou had no intention of killing him.

After confirming that the same fluctuations as before had sounded and were transmitted to the distant other side, the giant dragon released his tail, causing Tain and the armor to fall to the ground, splashing a large area of lava.

"Now, explain why you called me a heretic."

Staring at the warship armor kneeling on the ground, Su Zhou opened his mouth calmly and said in a rumbling thunderous voice: "I think you should be very clear that our civilization has been entertaining ourselves in the Black Domain Forbidden Zone for hundreds of thousands of years, and before today, we have never been in contact with the Holy Land Guardians, let alone your faith."

"This title of heretic is very inexplicable—as long as you explain the reason clearly, I can guarantee that I will never kill you."

"Are you trying to bewitch me?!"

Although he said so, after thinking about it, Tain found that the information Su Zhou wanted to know didn't involve any secrets, just their ordinary orthodox history.

Who among the many countries and vassals under the protection of the Holy Land Guardians in the past didn't know about this kind of thing? If it wasn't for the severance of inheritance caused by the Silent Era, this information should have been common sense throughout the galaxy.

This was the cultural diffusion of a powerful civilization.

Moreover, they did receive a lot of help from other galactic forces during the war against the heretics. Although most of those who helped were just affected and forced to contribute to protect themselves, they did provide a lot of help to the Cerasti in terms of consuming the enemy's strength.

"The so-called heretic..."

Therefore, after hesitating for a while, Tain told Su Zhou about the Galaxy Star, the heretics, and the related information about the "Betrayal War" of the past.

"That's roughly it—with my authority, I can't access any more information, and even if I did, I would never tell you!"

Tain's tone was firm, with a determination to die.

But what he didn't know was that at this moment, Su Zhou, and even Yala in the soul space, couldn't help but show surprise because of the history and information he narrated.

"So that's how it is?"

Slowly flapping his wings, creating hurricanes that wrinkled the lava on the ground, the giant dragon murmured. He whispered to himself: "It seems that the Galaxy Star and the Celestial God's Scale are indeed divine objects with the same origin—they are all fragments of the Great Seal!"

"The 'Otherworld' and the 'Otherworld Evil Gods' in the mouths of the Cerasti must be the worlds behind the Great Seal—and the Evil Gods are even simpler, they are the Great Ones!"

The so-called evil is "unrighteous."

The ideologies of the Great Ones are certainly all correct, and they are indeed the right path for their people, but for other civilizations that have not come into contact with their ideologies, this extreme ideology is indeed too extreme and can even be called terrifyingly "evil."

Even the relatively gentle Silent Master, not many people would be willing to bear that incredible love.

And the heretics, obviously, were those who had gone to the worlds beyond the Great Seal and inadvertently, or were deliberately planted with some seeds, or even simply believed in the ideologies of certain Great Ones and became their kin.

The war between the heretics and the Cerasti had caused such tragic consequences that even their homeworld was destroyed. It was no wonder that they were so sensitive to the aura of the Great Ones that Su Zhou's appearance triggered their nervous instincts and made them want to crusade him.

"However, although they are said to have the same origin, the functions of the Galaxy Star and the Celestial God's Scale are quite different."

Thinking silently, Su Zhou frowned slightly: "Living planet—ancient life star, animating other planets, and a large number of portals for exchanging substances from other worlds... Yes, the functions are really quite different."

The Celestial God's Scale in Su Zhou's hands, although it can also communicate with the worlds behind the Great Seal, its functions are more delicate. Not only can it directly locate the world coordinates of the related Great Ones based on their aura, but it can also actively bring people into it without the need for any ritual protection. It is not as simple and crude as the Galaxy Star, which is just a simple interaction of energy and matter between the two worlds and requires the blessing of powerful mysteries to travel back and forth.

Moreover, the Celestial God's Scale does not have the ability to animate planets... Is it essentially just a teleportation dial?

But, just as Su Zhou was puzzled, Yala laughed.

"So that's how it is, living planet, huh? With such powerful animating and spiritualizing power, I am gradually understanding everything."

After listening to Tain's description, the scarlet Snake Spirit, who was lying under the Tree of Wisdom, obviously understood something.

He called out Su Zhou's name and laughed: "It looks like the Galaxy Star is in a state of incomplete awakening."

"Unlike the Celestial God's Scale, which was activated because it encountered me, the true essence of the Galaxy Star, that is, a part of the Great Seal, has not been shown—so they think that the passive reaction of the Galaxy Star to energy input is its true effect."

Saying this, Yala was confident at this moment. He wagged his tail and said: "In my opinion, the true essence of the Galaxy Star should be the unit in the seal that is responsible for animating and self-repairing!"

"That is, the fragment of the seal maintenance center in the Great Seal that is responsible for self-repairing the seal."

"Is that so?" Su Zhou was slightly stunned after Yala finished speaking.

It wasn't that he didn't believe the Snake Spirit's analysis, but he subconsciously felt a little strange: "To be honest, isn't the Celestial God's Scale just a ticket that can be used to cross the Great Seal and go to other worlds? How did it suddenly become a fragment of the space-time hub... I haven't seen it have any passive effects or any extremely special divine powers."

Compared to the Galaxy Star's divine power that can animate planets and transport materials on a large scale, Su Zhou felt that although the power of the Celestial God's Scale was powerful, it should not be as good as the Galaxy Star's.

"No, wait!"

Originally, he was still puzzled.

But the moment Su Zhou finished thinking in his heart, a flash of inspiration suddenly flashed in his mind.

The youth narrowed his eyes. He turned his head and looked in the direction of Earth.

Then, he suddenly understood.

"Space-time realms! Yes, those hundreds and thousands of space-time realms, I don't even know how many there were at their peak!"

At this moment, Su Zhou's gaze seemed to penetrate countless distances and directly projected onto Earth... Projected onto those various passages and space-time doors that led to other worlds, to secret realms and paradises!

Whether it was the Beast God Realm, the Qingqiu Realm, the Tianchi Realm, or the Typhon Realm... Many worlds were all connected to each other with Earth as the center.

And this structure was just like the "Great Seal" that connected all the worlds of the multiverse!

It was just that Earth did not have the effect of a seal, so it was only the hub that was sitting in the center of many space-times.

"That's right."

Thinking of this, Su Zhou couldn't help but feel a stir in his heart, and his heart was surging: "It's not that the Celestial God's Scale has not been activated before... It was activated in the distant past, before the civilization of immortals and gods, and created such a unique and superior space-time structure for Earth!"

"Although the Celestial God's Scale may have been lost or even lost its luster due to the war between the immortals and gods, those thousands of secret realms, paradises, and space-time realms are undoubtedly evidence that the Celestial God's Scale was activated in the past!"

"That's indeed the case." Hearing Su Zhou's analysis, Yala smiled slightly, but soon, the Snake Spirit curled up together with some confusion: "But, in that case, I'm a little strange."

"If even the Celestial God's Scale, which is a fragment of the space-time hub, and the Galaxy Star, which is a fragment of the seal's self-repair and self-animation unit... If even these two have become fragments, then theoretically, there should be a third fragment."

"What fragment?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but ask curiously.

Whether it was the Galaxy Star or the Celestial God's Scale, their existence had more or less created two great civilizations—if the Cerasti hadn't had a war with the heretics in the first place, and hadn't cautiously restrained the power of the Galaxy Star because of it, their development speed would have been many times faster than it was now.

Such a divine object that could change the future direction of a powerful civilization with just a little ripple, there was actually a third one... Then what was it?

"The third part of the Great Seal—also the most important part."

At this time, speaking in a calm tone, Yala's tone even carried a trace of obvious dread: "Also one of the main cores of the seal... The fragment of the 'Seal'—the core hub for suppressing the multiverse!"

Under Su Zhou's gaze, who was frowning tightly, the scarlet Snake Spirit also said solemnly: "The shattering of the Great Seal was definitely not something that happened in an instant, but a process that lasted for tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of years."

"Its fragments falling into this universe will definitely cause some extremely obvious consequences—just like the Earth civilization and the Cerasti civilization, they are destined to be famous."

"The third fragment must exist, and it may have been discovered by the Cerasti civilization, but this ordinary explorer doesn't know about it."

"I understand."

Hearing this, how could Su Zhou not know the true meaning behind the Snake Spirit's words?

He obviously intended to let him collect the remnants of the three Great Seals and completely gather the fragments of the three major hubs of the Great Seal.

In that case, not to mention directly repairing the Great Seal, at least by analyzing the essence of this divine object, he would have a more direct and clear understanding of the current multiverse situation... In other words, he could become stronger.

Su Zhou and Yala's conversation and thoughts all took place in the personal space.

For Tain, who was seriously injured, kneeling on one knee, and a loser captive, the other party's silence made him inexplicably afraid and terrified—so Tain didn't dare to move at all, just maintaining the kneeling posture, waiting for Su Zhou to speak again.

On the other side, Ketarren and K-Cole were also nervously waiting...

Especially since Su Zhou's words earlier indicated that he had allowed Tain to send the relevant data of his Cosmic War Form back to the Cerasti Holy Land, which made them feel quite uneasy.

[Too careless!]

Staring at the warship armor in front of him, K-Cole couldn't help but grit his teeth and say: [Exposing one's own strength will only lead to being targeted! Su Zhou's arrogant actions will definitely make him suffer in the end!]

[What kind of ancient and venerable civilization are the Holy Land Guardians? Their vast database has countermeasures against all enemies! Although the Candle Day Dragon is strong, it is definitely not the kind that cannot be dealt with—this is courting death!]

Although it sounded harsh, it was indeed the case—even countries had to hide data from each other when developing warplanes and keep it as confidential as possible. Su Zhou's actions of directly publishing the data of his true form were truly unheard of.

[What's there to worry about?]

On the contrary, Ketarren, who understood Su Zhou better than K-Cole, was extremely calm and not panicked at all: [It's just the Cosmic War Form. The last time I was in the Beast God Realm, I personally watched Professor Su show the 'Cosmic War', 'Ocean War', 'Underground War', 'Full Offense Form', and 'Full Defense Form' in front of the five races, and I was even more shocked than you are now.]

[Exposing strength? No, this is just showing his fist. The Candle Day is not... a creature that can be seen through so easily!]

And at this moment.

"Drip."

Suddenly, it was like a drop of water falling into a calm lake.

In a low collision sound, the space rippled like a crown, and then returned to calm.

For a moment, whether it was Ketarren, K-Cole, or Tain, who was still a little dazed, none of them reacted to this subtle space-time fluctuation. Only Su Zhou seemed to have foreknowledge and raised his head, looking at the space that was still calm.

Io, mid-air.

In the violent wind that was caused by the existence of the Candle Day True Form, an expanding silver vortex appeared in front of him.

Spinning halos rotated from the center of the vortex towards all directions, eventually forming a structure that looked like an eyeball, staring at the distant end of time and space.

And the giant dragon's eyes calmly met the giant eye that had come across time and space.

"Hello, leaders of the Cerasti civilization, I am Su Zhou, the representative of the current Earth human civilization. I have the authorization of the United Nations and have the authority to fully represent humanity in communicating with extraterrestrial civilizations when encountering them."

With a thought, he transformed his official documents into a light curtain floating in mid-air. Su Zhou didn't care whether the aliens could understand these documents or not. He just said calmly and verbatim: "Your explorer's captain, Mr. Tain the Seer, has been investigated by us for illegally exploring Earth. Because it was his first offense and he didn't cause any bad consequences, we originally decided to drop the charges against Mr. Tain."

"But unfortunately, Mr. Tain, because of some cultural and cognitive misunderstandings, regarded me as a heretic and launched an attack... Although it didn't cause serious consequences, it greatly hurt my personal feelings. I hope you can explain this, thank you."

In fact, it was more than just not having any effect. As far as Su Zhou knew, that housekeeping robot 0079 and the young high school girl named Bai Yingxue had both obtained a lot of benefits from the other party's parasitic unit and core nest... One obtained a more agile and powerful soul-state program, and the other obtained a high-level biological energy core that was very valuable even in today's Earth and could improve her bloodline level.

This was more than just a good person? This was simply a good person with a built-in transportation vehicle!

Obviously, the controller of the giant eye, who had thought that he would encounter a tense situation, was slightly stunned after seeing such an unusual reception.

It was not only because of the inexplicable official formulaic talk that Su Zhou had said, but also because of the other party's incomparably powerful combat form.

The Candle Day Dragon was indeed not in their database, but even with a finger, it was clear that the creature in front of them was very strong, extremely strong—and it was not far from an Alpha-level psionicist who could be considered a giant even in the golden age!

Whether it was the claws, wings, body structure, scales, or bone plates, or the strength of the eyes and energy core, all were beyond the norm... Even the shining crystal on his chest gave them an extremely dangerous and scorching feeling!

And if such an existence continued to become stronger and maintained this speed of becoming stronger... At that time, even if the Cerasti civilization had just produced a few Alpha-level psionicists, the other party would already be an Omega-level 'Spirit Realm Lord'!

At that time, even a galactic superpower with endless resources would need to treat such a powerhouse with equal courtesy, or even be slightly humble, without their own multiple Omega-level lords.

But soon, he reacted, now was not the time to be shocked by the other party's power.

The giant eye vibrated slightly and continued to scold:

[...Heretic! What do you want?]

[If you say you want us to submit, that is absolutely...]

But suddenly, the vortex-like giant eye stopped.

Because right now, the giant dragon, as huge as a mountain, stretched out his dragon claw.

In the center of that silver dragon claw and black dragon arm, which were full of cold light, released a knife-like feeling similar to the Blade of Extinction, and had some ability to weaken immortality, in the center of the palm protected by dense scales and bone plates, there was a plain, but inlaid with three colored degrees, the small 'pocket watch' floated in mid-air, being shown to everyone by Su Zhou.

The cyan degree released the boundless meaning of 'reproduction, inheritance, endless continuation'.

The gray degree released the endless meaning of 'repeatedly turning around, endless reincarnation'.

The black degree released the infinite meaning of 'chaotic and unpredictable, with no conclusion'.

The melodious, vast, and grand aura, could be as small as dust, or as vast as the universe, could not be described, but the aura that could be called powerful was released between heaven and earth as the hands of the pocket watch turned.

[The Silver, Galaxy Star?!]

[No, that's not it. It doesn't look like it, but it definitely, definitely is a sacred object similar to the Galaxy Star!]

[You, you, you, you actually carry such a sacred object with you?!]

For a moment, whether it was Ketarren, K-Cole, or Tain, all were shocked and boiling—the three aliens obviously didn't expect that Su Zhou would actually carry such a treasure with him.

Even the Cerasti civilization's leadership team, which was estimated to be more than one person on the other side of the giant eye, was shocked and speechless, only staring at the Celestial God's Scale in Su Zhou's hand, and then saying nothing.

"Can we have a normal conversation now, Holy Land Guardians?"

With a casual turn, he put the Celestial God's Scale back into his body. Su Zhou's tone carried a trace of intriguing meaning: "We may not be fellow travelers from the same source, but we may uphold similar orders—so there is no need to be prejudiced. If you really don't want to believe it, it's best to have a sincere exchange before making a decision."

After a long while, because of Su Zhou's reminder, the giant eye reacted, and then said in shock: [You, you can actually carry the Galaxy Star with you?! If you don't use the Great Mystery to restrain the power of such a sacred object... wait.]

[That aura, although it is the Galaxy Star, the essence of the power is not the same... No, there is a huge, essential difference! And on top of that, isn't it the aura of the 'Otherworld Evil God' that is inlaid?]

[And it seems to be sealed on top of it... If that's the case, then the heretic...]

Obviously, it was not a single existence that was controlling this giant eye that had been projected across time and space.

A chaotic voice rang out on the other side of time and space, which was the sound of the Cerasti Elder Council having a heated discussion.

Su Zhou waited patiently, but he didn't really plan to wait long.

After estimating about one hundred and eighty seconds in his heart, the giant dragon suddenly took a deep breath.

The Four Extremes Gathering Spirit Dragon Spine... the official name of the psionic organ that Su Zhou himself used to gather various attributes of psionic energy more conveniently as projectiles, which originated from the four attributes of 'fire, thunder, wind, water' that Su Zhou was good at, and the compound element breath. Because of its high compatibility and excellent function as a psionic organ, it was recognized by the Zheng Guo government as a Lord-Earth Immortal level inheritance psionic organ.

But just like all the other organs on Su Zhou's body, the Four Extremes Gathering Spirit Dragon Spine was constantly being improved... Although it had not yet crossed the limit of the Lord-level, under the influence of the Candle Dragon Dharma Body, this Heavenly Venerate level inheritance, and under the subtle improvement of the 'Yin Yang Obscure Bright Sun Moon Rotation Secret Treasure', the aura gathered by the Dragon Spine itself began to gradually not be limited to the mere four spirits.

The Aura of Yin and Yang is the beginning of Qiankun.

When two opposite forces annihilate each other, they can stimulate greater and purer energy.

It is said that when this Yin Yang Obscure Bright Yin Yang Rotation Secret Treasure is cultivated to the highest realm, even if one exhales, they can turn winter into summer, and if one inhales, they can turn summer into winter. The vast energy can not only easily replace the phenomena of the heavens, but even affect the rotation of the sun and moon.

And the source of this power lies in the moment when the aura of Yin and Yang intersect.

Although Su Zhou was far from reaching the highest realm, that is, the point of forming a 'positive and antimatter collision engine', with his realm, he had only glimpsed a bit of the fur of it.

But even so, it was enough.

The psionic energy of the four major attributes was gathered into Su Zhou's mouth like a vortex. As the crystals around him rapidly lit up, emitting a blue-purple light, large swaths of light particles like mist disappeared without a trace, as if they had been incorporated into a place of return.

Then, collision.

Then, one could see that in the giant dragon's mouth, a tiny, but extremely bright and dazzling spot of light naturally emerged.

Silence.

An extreme sense of danger came from the depths of the bodies and souls of the three bystanders, which was a premonition of impending death that could not be avoided in any way—they could not escape. If this level of attack was aimed at them, whether they were escaping in a spaceship or using their armor as a shield to hold it head-on.

Whether they flew into the high sky or burrowed into the earth... No matter which method they used, it would be impossible to avoid this attack and survive it!

But even the time to be afraid, Su Zhou did not leave them.

While the priests of Cerasti behind the giant eye were still arguing, Su Zhou turned his head and aimed at the lava land on the side of Io, spitting out this breath.

An extreme burst of light lit up, so that everything around, whether it was the lava, the sun, or the orange-red Jupiter that occupied most of the sky, all paled and turned into darkness.

Then, the light gradually receded.

If one looked down from above, one could see that a red lava ditch that stretched for nearly a thousand kilometers was clearly visible, like a line that a child had casually drawn on a piece of paper, and along the way, it was full of thunder and aurora-like ionization belts.

This was a high-energy particle beam attack that surpassed the main guns of battleship-class ships. It dissolved the lava and thunder generated by Io's crust and the atmosphere along the way. It extended nearly a thousand kilometers from Su Zhou as the origin point to the north and punched out of the atmosphere there. At the end of this line was a cloud of ionization that was still shining.

The earth was shaking. A violent earthquake and explosion were erupting in the distant land of Io. A series of volcanoes erupted as a result. Obvious tremors appeared on the entire surface of Io, and smoke clouds were rapidly spreading.

Fortunately, there were no oceans or atmosphere on this satellite of Jupiter, otherwise an unusually violent tsunami and typhoon would have been almost inevitable.

[...]

Behind the giant eye, the leadership of the Cerasti civilization suddenly fell silent.

This was not something particularly special—if their battlecruiser's main guns were charged up, they could probably fire such a shot as well. In the Holy Land Guardian civilization at its peak, there was no shortage of psionicists who could fire such a shot. They had the means to destroy the entire Io, Jupiter, and even the star.

However, the one who launched this attack was a young alien individual who had only returned to psionics for four years.

The one who launched this attack was not an Alpha-level Manifestor, not an Omega-level Lord, but a Fifth-Level psionicist.

The existence that launched this attack was communicating with them.

"Listen, aliens."

Spitting out a mouthful of ionized gas, Su Zhou closed his mouth to prevent others from seeing that his teeth had been burned away by this breath.

A magnificent soul tremor transmitted the information: "I don't know what definitions, what ideas you have about me, about the Earth civilization, about the heretics in your heads."

The blue-purple dragon eyes were as peaceful as ever, but in the eyes of the observers on the other side of the giant eye, the meaning of that peace was very different.

The giant dragon said in a deep voice: "Now, I still have goodwill and want to communicate."

"This is my sincerity."

After saying this, Su Zhou spread his wings. The dragon wings, which were more than a thousand meters wide, released swarms of Storm Seeds as they spread out. The cyan wind-type psionic energy could also generate thrust in the thin atmosphere. Whether it was Tain, who was still in the warship armor state, or Ketarren, K-Cole, and the Leaplight spaceship, all flew up under the power of the Storm Seeds and flew towards the space.

The giant dragon was no longer continuing to communicate and was preparing to leave directly.

[Please wait, powerhouse of the alien civilization.]

But, at this moment, from the other end of the giant eye, came a steady and heavy voice.

Unlike the individual who was in charge of the negotiations before, this voice obviously had extremely high prestige. Once he spoke, the others stopped speaking and respectfully waited.

Su Zhou turned his head and looked expressionlessly at the giant eye.

And in the silver vortex giant eye, the steady voice saw Su Zhou stop and continued: [We Cerasti have been a civilized race that has stepped into the galaxy for four hundred thousand years.]

[Although we have been stagnant, arrogant, ignorant, crazy, and chaotic...]

[But now, we still exist in this universe—and that means we understand what is called 'communication' and 'tolerance', and 'admitting mistakes'. The way we were hostile to you before was indeed our fault. We apologize to you here.]

[Tain the Seer should have told you about our civilization's undying hatred for 'heretics'. I believe you are also very clear that no matter what the situation is, if you are really a heretic, then no amount of intimidation will be of any use. But even so, you are willing to communicate in a friendly manner, which is indeed a great respect for our civilization. We express our gratitude to you here.]

At this point, there was even an exclamation from the other end of the giant eye—it seemed that the elder with high prestige bowed remotely, and then, he continued: [Although, we can't be sure yet whether you are a 'heretic', a danger to the order of this universe.]
