Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day
Chapter 46 Nether Lord of the Nine Hells (Part 2)
Divine Celestial Realm.
Flecked white spots appeared at the base of the All-Spirit Divine Bird's wings, which were covered in golden light. These were the result of Rahu's sneak attack.
If it were to affect ordinary immortals, the majestic desires of all living beings would instantly activate every cell of their true form, turning them into independent lives. In effect, it would transform a complete god into a shattered mess of flesh and blood, like infinitely proliferating cancer cells.
Such was the terrifying power of the [Demonic念 of All Desires] divine power.
However, now that it was acting on Tai Hao, it only caused a small area to become slightly 'inflamed'.
Under the suppression of the God-Emperor's vast spiritual power, this injury seemed as if it could be fully recovered after a period of time.
But Tai Hao understood better than anyone that Rahu and Mora were unlikely to sit idly by and allow Him to recover.
The All-Spirit Divine Bird spread its tail feathers, and hundreds of pairs of eyes all over its body simultaneously stared at the two enemies in front and behind.
An ordinary immortal star lord, and the Desire Demon King of the Ninefold Nether.
[I should have realized long ago that even the existence with the lowest aptitude could not possibly be just an ordinary immortal after cultivating for such a long time.]
Although He was ambushed, injured before the battle, and forced to face His strongest enemies in a dangerous place, the God-Emperor remained calm. He muttered to Himself: [Although you yourself, Rahu, said that you were severely injured due to the Great Ill Omen and the Ninefold Nether War, to the extent that your origin was damaged and you could hardly make progress... but it shouldn't be to the point that the progress of your cultivation over hundreds of thousands of years is still negligible.]
[Indeed. In the past, I passed on my path to the Great自在Heavenly Demon Lord, and before that, I gave my power to Mora to allow Him to unify the Ninefold Nether—otherwise, where would a Demon Lord-level powerhouse come from out of thin air?]
Rahu was also staring at Tai Hao, judging the other party's actual condition. The red star and the black demon king faced each other from afar, surrounding the God-Emperor from the front and rear.
This immortal, who had experienced a long time and numerous eras, chuckled and said: [If I am Rahu, then He is Ketu.]
—Rahu Ketu, the two evil stars.
Also, the great ominous stars.
They were originally symbols of solar and lunar eclipses, comets, and separated stars, representing the darkness of the celestial realm. In the Heavenly Dao of the stars, they held positions like those in the intelligence department.
[…Why, in the past, did you never think of causing trouble?]
At this moment, as Rahu and Mora, this dual-faced god and demon, pressed closer step by step, Tai Hao’s tone became serious. The All-Spirit Divine Bird assumed a full battle stance: [I trusted you so much in the past that if you really wanted to assassinate me in a surprise attack, you probably could have done it long ago. There were several better opportunities than now.]
[In the past, you were simply seeking the path of perfection, which is not strange.]
Rahu did not intend to hide anything about this, and this time, the voice of the Great Desire Heavenly Demon King, confronting the celestial realm from afar, also sounded at the same time.
Mora's voice seemed to come from the depths of a deep abyss, with layers of cold response: [But this time, Tai Hao, you are too crazy.]
[You are in charge of the Heavenly Dao of the stars, gathering the power of the immortals, and repeatedly attacking the Ninefold Nether, intending to plunder the power of the demon gods—you covet the Nirvana Tears condensed from the clear light of heaven and earth, and you also intend to find the undying blood condensed in the earth veins.]
[You want everything, you want to own everything... How can we let you succeed!]
—The freedom of immortals should not interfere with the freedom of other immortals. Desires should be released, not wantonly abused.
Each immortal has his own path, and so do the Heavenly Demons!
At this moment, the tone of this Great Desire Heavenly Demon King was filled with sarcasm: [Tai Hao, do you really think that there will be no backlash from you devouring the power of the Heavenly Dao of the stars?]
[Do you really think that everyone is satisfied with your control of the Heavenly Dao of the stars?]
[You occupy more than 70% of the longevity substance and clear light of heaven and earth in the Divine Celestial Realm. This means that if there is any change in the celestial realm, you must bear most of the pressure—if you are always in the center of the Divine Realm, that's fine, but now, you are not happy with Us, you personally take action to deal with Zhu Zhou and Ming Zhengde and fail. This is an irreparable flaw!]
It could be seen that because Tai Hao had previously released the 'Radiant 明郁仪Solar Emperor' state, transforming from the celestial sun into the All-Spirit Divine Bird to attack the mortal realm of Tianyuan, the star rankings within the entire celestial realm suddenly changed from orderly to chaotic.
Now, the entire internal defense of the celestial realm has become extremely fragile. Coupled with Rahu's erosion response, the originally impregnable barrier of the Divine Celestial Realm has become even weaker than when the Heavenly Demons invaded in the past!
As the God-Emperor in charge of the celestial realm's power, Tai Hao's power was naturally closely related to the celestial realm's condition. The chaos in the celestial realm did indeed lead to Tai Hao's power fluctuations and unstable state.
This was the flaw.
Originally, Tai Hao's expression was still solemn—because of the current dire situation in the celestial realm, He was indeed at a disadvantage in the confrontation with Rahu and Mora.
And in the celestial realm, because the God-Emperor controlled most of the power of the Heavenly Dao of the stars, there was no second immortal who could join in the battle between Him and the Demon Lords. Now He could be said to be isolated and helpless.
However, because of Mora's sarcastic words, this All-Spirit Divine Bird fell silent, and the light in His eyes began to flicker.
Soon, He made up His mind.
[…Flaw.]
Tai Hao indifferently spread His wings, and layers upon layers of phoenix feather patterns began to appear on His body: [In the final analysis, it's just that I'm not pure enough.]
At the same time, within the entire Divine Celestial Realm, the rituals that originally connected the numerous stars and guided the spiritual light of the sky to the immortals were all canceled.
—Or rather, they were all transferred to Tai Hao, and all became one!
[Divine Celestial Realm, this kind of thing is dispensable.]
The golden divine bird, floating with crystal-clear spiritual light, raised His head. He spread His wings, as if embracing the void. Tai Hao suddenly burst out with extremely tyrannical aura, and the power of the entire Divine Celestial Realm was swallowed by Him: [Where I am, is the celestial realm!]
[I am the Heavenly Court!]
Boom! Instantly, dazzling light appeared around the divine bird. Tai Hao's announcement was like thousands upon thousands of thunderclaps exploding at the same time. Even the Tianyuan Realm could hear this roar. His power shattered the clouds in the sky, causing almost half the world to shake uneasily.
Patterns like ashes and embers began to appear and dissipate on the divine bird's wings, and infinite light condensed into five-colored halos behind Him.
In contrast, the originally brilliant Divine Celestial Realm completely dimmed, almost the same color as the surrounding void. Numerous stars, which were the bodies of the immortals, floated aimlessly in it—They sensed that their residences for many years, and even their positions, had completely disappeared, losing the status of 'immortal'!
All the power was taken by Tai Hao for His own use!
[Actually… if, this is your choice.]
Rahu watched with considerable surprise as Tai Hao's power rose to a new level. The almost invincible power came from the divine bird, causing the Demon King to be secretly startled.
He had never thought that a God-Emperor would directly extract the foundation of his own camp's ancestral land to strengthen himself—completely overturning all the original flaws and weaknesses. No matter what, this kind of courage was admirable!
However, this kind of method was even more 'demonic' than them Heavenly Demons.
At this moment, the red star saw that the indifferent divine bird raised its sharp claws and aimed them at the direction where Mora was located, grasping into the air—instantly, infinite spiritual light erupted, vast and mighty. Even the light was distorted, and the torrent of Yuanci divine power rushed towards the four-armed Heavenly Demon King!
But…
How could Heavenly Demons fight immortals head-on?
[As expected of you, Tai Hao. This decisiveness has made me look at you with new eyes… But now, it’s not just us who want to fight you.]
Laughing loudly, Mora's demonic body disappeared like a phantom.
The Yuanci divine light distorted light and shadow, but could not capture the shadow of the Heavenly Demon that had already escaped into the depths of the human heart's sea of desire.
Behind Mora's demonic body phantom, a huge Yazi, with rolling demonic and evil aura, charged towards Rahu with狂笑.
[God-Emperor child, your grandpa is here to see you!]
In an instant, the monstrous Yuanci divine light hit the dragon-headed, leopard-bodied monster. It could be seen that under the unbelievable gravitational vibration, even the body of the Heavenly Demon was distorted. Yazi's head and body were twisted into twisted messes on the spot.
If it were any other life, it could be said to be dead beyond death at this moment, but for the Heavenly Demon, this kind of trivial matter didn't even count as an appetizer before the battle.
Even with its body twisted into an alien shape and suffering a severe blow in an instant, Yazi was still laughing wildly. It was directly blown away by the power of Tai Hao God-Emperor, but in a turn, the injuries on its body began to regenerate rapidly at a speed visible to the naked eye, making it like an immortal and indestructible body!
—Undying blood!
As a direct bloodline of the Primal True Dragon, how powerful was the Yao race's body? A Heavenly Demon who inherited a trace of undying blood, even Tai Hao, even at His peak, could never kill with one blow. He would have to spend a long time to eliminate them one by one.
Would Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Demons give immortals such a long time?
How could that be possible!
[Hahahaha, use a little more force!!]
[If you want to kill us, this won't work!]
Instantly, as more and more Heavenly Demons galloped from the distant void sea, voices of playful laughter and scolding rang out, causing the All-Spirit Divine Bird to frown, and the Heavenly Demon's laughter to flash in His heart.
In the void, as the light of the Divine Celestial Realm dimmed, a three-way melee between gods, demons, and Heavenly Demons unfolded.
But no matter which side.
In essence, they only saw themselves, they only saw gods and demons… All gods and demons, and even Heavenly Demons, never thought about the reactions of living beings.
Therefore, they overlooked some things.
—Above the high sky, the stars were in chaos.
For the living beings of the Tianyuan Realm, tonight was truly bright and brilliant: countless stars shone brightly, and then dimmed, and the shocking spiritual light and impact that erupted again and again in the heights of the sky made people feel that the starry sky was shaking.
For Su Zhou, today he had personally experienced the power of a true 'strong man'!
In the face of the terrifying attack from Tai Hao God-Emperor that spanned two worlds, the youth had experienced for the first time the great power beyond the Heavenly Immortal, and should be at the Heavenly Venerable, Great Heavenly Venerable level!
Transforming into the Zhu Zhou·Rocket Form, exerting the rapid speed sufficient to break free from the galaxy's gravity, was only enough to cancel out the gravitational divine power of Tai Hao God-Emperor.
Even the world barrier spanning the celestial realm and the Tianyuan realm was enough to shake the foundation of the world and create astral-level destruction… If it were in outer space, it probably wouldn't take too long for Tai Hao God-Emperor to destroy a planet the size of Earth, right?
"So powerful… very useful!"
"This kind of experience can definitely be applied to the next time!"
There was no fear in Su Zhou's heart. Even through the confrontation with the divine power of this Great Heavenly Venerable-level powerhouse, he had a new grasp of the limit of his power.
Moreover, although Tai Hao God-Emperor's power was strong, it did not exceed his imagination of the power of the Great Heavenly Venerable and even the Heavenly Emperor level—to say nothing of the fact that he knew from the Qingqiu people that some Heavenly Venerables would be willing to move the entire Qingqiu Star to other planetary systems for the sake of that group of foxes.
Even the Heavenly Punishment Light that Tai Hao God-Emperor used later did not exceed Su Zhou's and Ming Zhengde's expectations.
"It's time, Ming Zhengde!"
At that time, Su Zhou shouted loudly—because this was part of the plan they had made!
The earth veins needed stimulation!
Just like the human nerve stress response, giving the knee nerve a small stimulus, lightly hammering it, the human leg would automatically kick up.
Even though the Tianyuan earth veins were in an active period once every 70,000 to 80,000 years, if there was no stimulation, no matter how active it was, that was all it would be—it was like the nerves becoming sensitive, but if there was no stimulation, it would just be feeling敏锐, without producing a stress response.
How vast were the Tianyuan Realm earth veins, and how abundant and magnificent was its power?
To what extent would the power needed to stimulate the entire Tianyuan Realm earth veins have to reach?
Although Su Zhou and Ming Zhengde were both confident, they were both self-aware—that was a goal that real people, and even ordinary immortals, could not achieve. Even Nan Zhengkai's Wilderness Heaven, Earth Splitting Formation in the past only connected the surface earth veins. Although the damage it caused was terrifying to humans, it was like blocking a few pores for the earth veins themselves.
Therefore, they needed the power of the God-Emperor.
If it was the God-Emperor, then the great power that could destroy stars and even celestial bodies could naturally be used as an attack to stimulate the Tianyuan earth veins!
"Since Ming Zhengde will be悍然 killed by the Heavenly Emperor's Heavenly Punishment every time in the end, completely destroying the entire new national capital."
"Then this time, I will simply try to draw out the Heavenly Punishment and bombard this sensitive area of the earth veins in Baishan Prefecture to stimulate the vitality of the Tianyuan earth veins!"
This was the plan that Su Zhou and Ming Zhengde had made for the future when they were revising the Five Virtues Qilin Method.
It must be said that at that time, the two of them were truly high-spirited, and they were simply算无遗策—and in fact, their plan was indeed very smooth, and everything was under the control of Ming Zhengde, who had been reborn 30,000 times.
Except for one thing.
That was that the God-Emperor's Heavenly Punishment was stronger than they had imagined.
At that time, Su Zhou could see that the light of crimson and gold was spreading across the top of the entire sky, and endless divine light reflected the sky, transforming into the phenomenon of all living beings and stars.
But soon, the crimson torrent of living beings was broken by the golden Heavenly Punishment divine light.
Seeing this, Su Zhou, as the target of the Heavenly Punishment divine light, immediately and without hesitation fully promoted the jet speed of the rocket form, and strengthened his shield.
Then, he followed the hit direction of the tilted Heavenly Punishment divine light,遁into the ground, and flew at high speed!
But, facing the Heavenly Punishment divine light that was destructive and directly penetrated the entire earth's crust rock layer and penetrated the depths of the earth veins, even if Su Zhou used all his strongest defense methods, he was still seriously injured.
In just a moment, the磅礴 spiritual power spewing out from the tail of the rocket turned into a turbulent tide, colliding with the divine light descending from the sky—the white-hot spiritual energy light团霎 instantly bloomed, shining like a恒星.
As a result, the tail of the Zhu Zhou rocket was completely burned, and the wings protecting the body were also full of damaged and burnt holes.
"I should have thought of it long ago—Ming Zhengde, that guy, died every time he was hit by Heavenly Punishment, and then was reborn. What the hell does he know about the power of Heavenly Punishment!"
When the Heavenly Punishment light dissipated, Su Zhou's entire cosmic battle body even temporarily lost its combat power and could only soak in the lava.
Silently burying Ming Zhengde's oversight in his heart, the youth absorbed the endless spiritual energy and heat in the lava to regenerate himself.
In the depths of the surging earth veins, consuming the nutrients and spiritual power stored in his body at the fastest speed to restore his body, Su Zhou couldn't help but complain: "Speaking of which, Yala, why is there not a single one of the immortals and God-Emperors in this world who seems to uphold the 'perfection' path?"
"Except for that Ming Zhengde who is a little similar, the immortals in the sky, and those Ninefold Nether Heavenly Demons, and even the void Heavenly Demons who are obviously your眷族… Is this world really a perfect original world?"
"Of course."
In the soul space, the red serpent sighed. He shook his head slightly and said with some emotion: "It's better to say that this is the characteristic of perfection."
"If I am the kind of existence that doesn't care about the outcome, as long as I keep going—or, I always oppose any outcome and process, and even myself."
"Then perfection is the kind of guy who doesn't care about any process, only cares about the outcome he wants."
Speaking of this, Yala raised his tail and drew various totem patterns in the air. His tone was calm: "Is it to coordinate order with the Myriad God Method, or to determine fate with the Destiny Path? Is it to achieve oneself with the Unity Method, or to look forward to the transcendence of all living beings with the Reincarnation Method."
"Even if all living beings are free and everything is up to the heart, it doesn't matter—no matter who chooses any path, and holds any kind of belief, and upholds any kind of morality, precepts, and rules—as long as they want perfection and have a mind of awakening, then He will降power and grant blessing."
The youth listened intently, and Yala's tone carried a hint of叹息: "Look, Su Zhou—do you think that those who will be blessed by perfection, and regard all means as tools to achieve the purpose of 'perfection',"
"In their hearts, are they pursuing the眷族of perfection, or the眷族of other great existences?"
"…I see, but it sounds a bit strange?"
At this moment, soaking in the熔岩, Su Zhou's expression couldn't help but carry a trace of怪异: For the sake of perfection, even using the path of other great existences doesn't matter?
This sounds, how, how does it have a taste of NTR…
——You think I'm practicing your path because I'm your眷族? Don't think too much!
——Just a perfect task.
At this moment, Su Zhou, who had recovered part of his power and ability to move, raised his head.
Above his head was a straight, huge pit leading directly to the surface of the earth's crust—that was the result of the Heavenly Punishment light shooting through the entire Tianyuan earth's crust and reaching the depths of the earth veins.
Even the huge pit mouth with a radius of hundreds of miles now looked like a微渺small dot.
Gazing at the high sky, Su Zhou at this moment could see the brilliance of gods and demons shining together, and the aura of Heavenly Demons纵横. The three parties were engaged in an extremely fierce entanglement.
The aftermath of their battle even affected the Tianyuan world. The spiritual light that was too dazzling like the sun completely illuminated the night,普照the world, turning the night into day. The澎湃spiritual power waves swept across the sky, causing the climate of the Tianyuan world to produce various meteorological disasters.
For a time, above Baishan Prefecture, the sky was闪电雷鸣, and from time to time, one could see stars dimming and losing their color, like陨落.
Now, there were no more Ninefold Nether魔troops attempting to invade around Tai Bai Pass—after all, all the Heavenly Demons were probably in the void, following the魔King, and fighting with the God-Emperor and the眾immortals.
However, the situation in the entire world had not improved much.
Because, even Su Zhou could see that Tai Hao God-Emperor was currently occupying the advantage.
He was using his own strength to forcibly suppress the elite among the Heavenly Demons and Heavenly Demons. If the Desire Realm Heavenly Demon King did not occasionally take action to解场, I am afraid that these elite Heavenly Demons would be completely wiped out in less than ten minutes.
"…This won't do."
Murmuring in a low voice, gazing at the high sky, Su Zhou's eyes were extremely serious: "Even if Tai Hao only occupies the advantage for a while, no matter which side wins, it will be a great disaster for the human world."
"And this Tai Hao God-Emperor doesn't know what method he used, but he is so powerful—as expected of the ruler of the celestial realm, no one can be underestimated who can become the尊Master of this kind of place with profound foundation."
Seeing this, the youth couldn't help but frown—he was very clear that Ming Zhengde had gathered the wishes of all living beings to protect him, and隔空 clashed with Tai Hao.
This would undoubtedly affect the Extinction of Heaven and Earth Great Formation, at least delaying the formation time of the formation.
Although, that was a necessary method.
But if the three parties ended the battle before then, then no matter who occupied the advantage, they would definitely not let Ming Zhengde and Su Zhou continue to act.
But there was no use in worrying now… after all, what was coming next had exceeded all of Ming Zhengde's experiences from 30,000 rebirths.
From then on, they would face a chaotic future and everything unknown.
"I hope the earth veins have been stimulated by the God-Emperor's attack and become active…"
Holding such worries in his heart, Su Zhou suppressed the不安in his heart at this moment, and instead turned his head, stretched out his divine sense, and tried to use the power of the earth vein sacrificial pillar in his personal space to explore the direction of the earth veins in Baishan Prefecture: "I also don't know whether the will fragments in the earth veins will also wake up because of this stimulation."
Thinking so, the youth's divine sense swept along the earth veins.
Then, Su Zhou let out a soft咦.
"What is that?"
Just now, Su Zhou did indeed sense a will—a will that was gradually awakening because of the attack of Tai Hao God-Emperor, and was deeply hidden in the earth veins.
However, that will was not the remnant will fragments of the 'Primal Dragon' that Su Zhou had sensed through the resonance of the earth vein sacrificial pillar last time.
But another gentle,宏large… and giving Su Zhou a familiar feeling, unfamiliar will.
[…Who is it that awakened me…]
In the depths of the secluded earth abyss, such a voice sounded.
At the same time as it sounded, there were endless, overlapping spiritual sounds, as if trillions of people were speaking at the same time.
This voice vibrated the sea of souls, causing all things in the depths of the earth to微鳴, causing Su Zhou, who had been prepared for a long time, to be stunned subconsciously. A whole peaceful and quiet wave came, making him feel as if he was in the underworld.
"This, this feeling…"
The youth muttered to himself, then raised his head and scanned the surrounding earth veins, which was also the source of the sound.
His eyes carried a trace of surprise: "Is this the寂Master?!"
"No, no, this is just similar—but it is also very powerful, even… is it at the Heavenly Emperor level?!"
At one time, Su Zhou was not only surprised, but stunned. He had just endured the divine punishment of Tai Hao God-Emperor, how could he not have感觸for this level of power?
In the depths of the Tianyuan world's earth veins, there was actually a Heavenly Emperor-level powerhouse?!
At this time, that will also sensed Su Zhou's existence. Soon, as the owner of that voice communicated directly with Su Zhou's divine mind, the two parties began to exchange information.
[Is it you, little dragon, is it you who awakened me… No, wait, you are not a dragon?]
Originally, this voice maintained a淡thin calm, but soon, probably after seriously observing Su Zhou for a glance, his tone suddenly became confused: [You also have the aura of the divine bird on your body?]
[But you are not a divine bird… You are a brand new species that I have never seen before!]
"Huh, someone can actually see it?"
It was not only the other party who was surprised, but Su Zhou was also quite surprised after hearing the other party's divine念—it must be known that there are very few people in this world who can see at a glance that he is neither a dragon nor a divine bird, but a Zhu Zhou.
At this moment, probably getting interested, the voice in the earth veins began to become serious: [Is it you who awakened me? No, what awakened me was this attack… Heavenly Emperor?]
[Doddle怪matter, why would even a Heavenly Emperor personally take action to deal with you, who are only adjacent to the realm of gods and demons? And the merit願force on your body is so abundant, why would the Heavenly Emperor take action against you?]
At this moment, He fell into confusion again.
It was very obvious that the complex situation in the world today was not something that the owner of this voice could understand in a short period of time.
"My name is Su Zhou, and you can also call me Zhu Zhou."
Therefore, Su Zhou simply transformed into a human form. He stood on this lava torrent in the depths of the earth veins and directly asked: "May I ask who the senior is? And how should I address you?"
[Su Zhou, Zhu Zhou… a good name. As for my name?]
The voice in the冥冥replied gently. This voice echoed in the earth veins, like a ghost飘荡in it, but the trillion spiritual sounds that always响with Him made His tone full of supreme solemnity and威pressure: [Although I don't know whether my name is still circulating in this world.]
[But young man, you can call me 'Hong Ming'.]
[Or rather, 'Ninefold Nether Lord'.]
Ninefold Nether Lord.
The moment he heard this word, Su Zhou couldn't help but微微一愣.
"Ninefold Nether, isn't Ninefold Nether the Heavenly Demon厄land?"
"What is the meaning of冥land?"
And sensing Su Zhou's confusion, the voice that sounded in the冥冥couldn't help but叹息: [It seems that even the冥land has disappeared?]
[The sleep time is too long, the world has long been沧海桑田. Although I have long known that this is part of the reincarnation of all things in the world, no matter how I think about it, it is quite regrettable.]
At this moment, Hong Ming 冥Lord showed his true body in the midst of叹声.
A huge dragon, as if composed of mountain peaks.
It was difficult to describe this level of庞big because if it were an ordinary person, no matter how much they looked up, lowered their head, or looked around, they could only see a vast and boundless stone wall—but this stone wall was only a part of the mountain giant dragon, only a few of its scales in size.
However, although this giant dragon seemed磅礴, it did not have a实体—He emerged from the earth veins, like a ghost穿梭in the hollow space and the long river formed by the earth vein gas,見首不见尾.
Moreover, Su Zhou also saw that on the back of this巍峨巨兽, which seemed to be able to encircle the planet, and embrace the entire star体into its arms, there were endless,根本impossible to count the number of 'soul lights'!
Those were souls!
The number of souls on just a small part of the scales and claws was at least over one billion. If the volume of the star体level mountain dragon was counted, and His spine was fully loaded with souls, then God knew how many there were!
And at this moment, this earth vein dragon composed of mountain peaks lowered his head, and the golden and iron-shaped eyes stared at the youth who was facing him, and said softly: [Young Zhu Zhou.]
[Do you know anything about the outside world now?]
[Can you tell me, what is the situation of the Tianyuan Realm now?]
The冥Lord's tone was gentle.
——Leaving everything else aside, at least this was the most polite person he had ever met besides Ming Zhengde since he降to the perfect world——He would even say "can you"!
"If you calculate according to the level of immortals, then he is the most polite person! Those people in this world who have high eyes and don't treat people as human beings should really learn well, what is called the charm of language and EQ!"
Therefore, just for this point, Su Zhou agreed.
He told all the information he had seen and heard in the Tianyuan Realm since he降临the perfect world, and all the information that Ming Zhengde had said, including the history of the celestial realm, Ninefold Nether, the Age of Gods and Demons, and everything that the living beings in this world had experienced.
Under the transmission of divine念, thousands of words were just a moment.
Hong Ming nodded slowly after being silent for a long time: […So…]
[After 太初自陨, that little fellow 太昊 actually became the Heavenly Emperor?]
[Moreover, the 冥land actually turned into魔land… Yes, yes, not all children can awaken and go to reincarnation. There are always执念people, always徘徊in the world, always replaying the pain they experienced in their lives, again and again. With such魔念, how can the 冥land be purified?]
He understood everything Su Zhou told him, and could also distinguish what was a lie and what was the truth.
The冥Lord shook his head slightly. His voice echoed in the depths of the entire earth vein: [太初, you created the civilization and order of this world, but you also created the source of all this suffering!]
[You chose to repay with death, but this is admitting defeat! Because living and correcting mistakes itself is more cruel than death!]
Hong Ming's voice carried endless anger and a trace of sadness.
From all kinds of information that had been synchronized from the transmission of冥Lord, Su Zhou, who understood who He was, understood this trace of悲凉.
——Hundreds of thousands of years had passed, and the friends, subordinates, and Taoist friends who had the same dreams but had different methods of realization in the same era had all dissipated in time.
The inheritance he left behind was distorted, and the 冥land used to let the living beings rest in peace eventually turned into the sea of desire that沉淀the suffering and desires of all living beings.
Now, the war between the celestial realm and the Ninefold Nether had broken out again. Compared with a million years ago, there were no traces of living beings in the eyes of the gods and demons. Their paths had completely disappeared, and even legends had not been left behind.
——How could he not be悲凉?
"So, you are the first Heavenly 魔Lord… no, the first Ninefold Nether 冥Lord…"
At this moment, Su Zhou stared at the Hong Ming giant dragon in front of him, and the trillions of飘荡soul lights on His spine.
The youth's gaze focused, and he couldn't help but murmur: "So, those soul lights… are?"
[Yes.]
Once again, with a long sigh, the tone of冥Lord was平缓. He looked at Su Zhou and said faintly: [That is the soul of hundreds of millions of living beings who did not have time to be感召by the冥land and enter the earth veins in the millions of years of the Age of Gods and Demons.]
[Among them, a considerable part are the souls of living beings in the Southern Continent and Eastern Continent who died in the Great Ill Omen—they should have all been swallowed by the Primal Dragon, just like fragments reassembling into the main body.]
[It should have been like this.]
[But I always feel that it shouldn't be like this. Although we are all parts derived from the Primal Dragon, since we are independent, we are independent lives.]
[We can供奉Him, worship Him, but we shouldn't offer our souls as well—so at that time, I潜入了the depths of the earth veins and negotiated with the Primal True Dragon to preserve them.]
"But this is not a question of whether you want to or not."
And Su Zhou was silent for a while. He said slowly: "Since you did this, you must pay a price."
At this moment, the youth had already guessed what the Hong Ming used as a price to negotiate with the Primal True Dragon consciousness fragments in the depths of the earth veins in the past.
So, Su Zhou's expression was solemn, and he said word by word: "So, 冥Lord, for hundreds of thousands of years, you have been using your own Heavenly Emperor-level soul to feed the Primal True Dragon instead of those trillions of living beings?"
"That's why you have been sleeping until now, and you were awakened by that Heavenly Punishment light?"
[Haha, indeed, you guessed it very accurately.]
And the冥Lord laughed. His tone was very relaxed: [After all, I have cultivated hard for a million years. If my soul is still not as good as the trillions of living beings in this mere world, then what kind of Ninefold Nether冥Lord am I?]
Hong Ming's tone was very unconcerned. He really didn't think there was anything great about this.
Just as He Himself said—as a冥Lord, if even His soul was not as good as trillions of living beings, then what kind of大道would He cultivate, and what kind of冥Lord would He become?
Looking at Su Zhou, the earth vein dragon's tone became gentle: [Don't underestimate yourself, young Zhu Zhou, your soul is also very abundant, comparable to the souls of trillions of living beings, and its essence is exceptionally崇高and pure, even I am inferior.]
[If you cultivate diligently and work hard, you can have the same achievements as me in another hundred thousand years or so in the future—this is not difficult.]
Speaking of this, as if he had thought of something, Hong Ming asked another question in passing: [No, judging by your age, you seem to be not very old, but you are already close to the gods and demons… How long have you been cultivating?]
"Five years."
Since someone asked, Su Zhou answered honestly. He thought carefully and then confirmed: "Less than five years, it depends on how you calculate it."
