Chapter 498 Three Paths of the Celestial Emperor (Two Chapters Combined, 14,000 Words)

The Miró Goddess is not someone who can control the [Myriad Mysteries Dao Transmission Pagoda].

Although she is indeed the pagoda spirit created by the Celestials using secret methods from the spiritual essence of the inheritance secret realm and placed within the Dao Transmission Pagoda.

Her role is more like an 'index' or a 'catalog'.

She is the Dao Transmission Pagoda itself, but she has no connection to the 'inheritance' it contains. She has no control over the trials within, only the right to supervise and 'pause in case of danger'.

Of course, the Miró Goddess can participate in the trials herself, obtain inheritances, and then break free from the shackles of being a pagoda spirit to become an independent immortal god. The Celestials and immortal gods don't care about this. Anyway, reshaping a pagoda spirit doesn't take much time. If it could give rise to a brand-new immortal god, it would actually be a good thing.

However, aside from the difficulty of the trials, the Miró Goddess herself has no interest in doing so.

Pagoda spirit of the Dao Transmission Pagoda. This is a very good identity and responsibility. Why bother to break free?

As a spiritual intelligence born from a man-made object, Miró's thinking is quite similar to that of an AI.

She doesn't care about staying in one place for hundreds of thousands of years, and she has no desire for great power. She is not human, has infinite patience, is content, and has no other desires.

As a sentient life transformed from the spirit of the world, the Miró Goddess enjoys observing the human world for a long time and paying attention to the inheritors who visit the Dao Transmission Pagoda to accept the trials.

It would be even better if the people of the human world could bring her surprises.

Indeed, Su Zhou's actions, and even his achievements, truly shocked, astonished, dumbfounded, and even stunned the Miró Goddess.

But that was all.

Being surprised by things never seen before is the instinct of intelligent life, and the Miró Goddess will not suppress this for the sake of 'human' face.

She will offer her praise for everything unexpected, just like when she witnessed Yan Sheng breaking through two great divine domain inheritances with a mortal body when spiritual energy was cut off. She was just as surprised then as she is now.

Even Wen Sheng's more than half a year long trial surprised her. This surprise and desire for the unknown ignores good and bad, is pure, and is a spirituality unrelated to human desires. It is the essence of Miró.

But now, it's different.

Miró at this moment is more serious than ever before.

[Without color, it is called Yi. Without sound, it is called Xi. Together they are Xi Yi.]

[The flow of humanity is unseen by the masses.]

[The sound of the Heavenly Dao's operation is unheard by immortals and gods.]

[The transmission of the Great Dao is without color or sound, with profound words and a mystical emptiness.]

[Therefore, it is called the Three Paths of Xi Yi.]

She spoke solemnly to herself. The goddess raised her head and looked at the Dao Transmission Pagoda where her true form resided, which was so dark that it swallowed even light.

Green spiritual light flickered in her three eyes. Miró's tone was no longer one of surprise.

But of 'fear' and 'anticipation'.

[Which is...]

[The Celestial Emperor, Three Paths!]

At this moment.

Inside the Dao Transmission Pagoda.

In a pale, white, and empty space, there was only a spiral staircase looping endlessly, rising straight towards a dome whose end could not be seen.

Standing in the void, Su Zhou stepped onto the clean stairs, which were completely different from before, releasing a pure blue and flawless light.

With each step he took, a ripple of spiritual light spread from the glass stairs towards the endless distance.

Now, he had taken fifteen thousand two hundred and ninety-four steps, and he still had not crossed this level of stairs to reach the next.

Or rather, this was the next level. He was already within it.

--The seventh level of the Myriad Mysteries Dao Transmission Pagoda.

[--Humanity--]

Even Su Zhou noticed that the atmosphere here was completely different from before.

From this seventh level onward, the [Myriad Mysteries Dao Transmission Pagoda] no longer felt like 'a library where you can only read books if you meet the passing requirements'.

But a serious 'examination site'.

After all, theoretically, all the inheritances, all the knowledge, skills, insights, and even the moral foundations that immortal gods could impart to later generations were included in the previous six paths. If it were just for inheritance, it should have ended just now.

"Could it be that the previous trials were for learning, and the next ones are for exams?"

Su Zhou didn't find this strange, as it did make sense.

After reading so many books, learning so many immortal god inheritances, and comprehending countless skills, it would be strange if he didn't pass an exam and have the Dao Transmission Pagoda give him a score, right?

The previous trials could be called 'monthly quizzes', and now, it was the 'final exam'.

Thinking this, Su Zhou stopped walking.

He no longer blindly climbed the stairs quickly, but calmed down and looked around.

But he couldn't see anything.

Everything was void. Apart from the pure blue glass light flashing beneath his feet, everything was pale emptiness. Su Zhou couldn't see any spiritual light or matter. Even if he took the initiative to make a move and emit spiritual energy fluctuations, they would soon dissipate into nothingness.

"Can't see it?"

After confirming this, he stopped acting rashly and lowered his head thoughtfully.

Then, he listened carefully.

Immediately afterward... he heard a faint sound.

[--What is the ability of your Dao?]

It seemed like such a voice was echoing from the boundless emptiness.

But upon hearing this voice, Su Zhou's expression froze.

Because he was very familiar with this voice.

It was the 'voice of the masses' that often resided in 'curses' and 'vow power'.

"I see. It deliberately shows such a blank space, but it's not for people to see."

The youth couldn't help but chuckle, "But to calm down and 'listen'?"

--Without color, it is Yi.

--Unseen, without color or appearance.

So, Su Zhou simply closed his eyes.

To listen to everything around him.

At first, he couldn't hear anything.

But as Su Zhou calmed his heart, eliminated all distractions, and pushed his own thoughts to the best theoretical state of the 'Heart of No Thought'神通(shéntōng) (divine power), 'without thought or intention'.

He then 'heard' it.

He heard the sound of the torrent.

Although his eyes were tightly closed, and all his sensory systems were actively shut down by Su Zhou himself, with countless 'sounds' being captured by Su Zhou, his excessively powerful imagination transformed all the sounds into shapes that 'could be seen' in the darkness where nothing could be seen.

"I see. I'm actually only realizing this now."

At this moment, Su Zhou's ears twitched, even though his eyes were closed. He couldn't help but sigh, and then 'looked around' with his eyes closed, "It's really too slow."

"The seventh level of the Dao Transmission Pagoda is empty? Wrong, completely wrong."

"Isn't it packed to the brim?"

At this moment, in Su Zhou's sea of consciousness, based on listening to the voices of the heart with the 'Heart of No Thought', what was reflected was the endless, boundless power of the vows of all living beings that completely filled the entire 'void space'.

Countless 'sounds' made up of countless vows, prayers, blessings, requests, oaths, curses, and disputes were chaotically piled up into a pool of stagnant water.

He could hear them.

Big prayers were swallowing small disputes.

Big curses were swallowing small blessings.

Requests were tearing flesh from oaths, and a massive vow power wanted to transform other thoughts, but it was torn apart and devoured by other thoughts, eventually dividing into even more other thoughts.

In the 'world of vow power' that could not be seen by ordinary transcendent vision, the thoughts of all living beings were engaged in extremely noisy disputes and killings. They competed with each other, competing for the possibility of becoming the only loud 'voice' in this world.

But this behavior always failed, because they always held each other back and could never come together as one.

So, it was always stagnant water.

Not that it wasn't moving, just that it wasn't progressing. No matter how many halos and spots of light tore at each other, twisted, fought, no matter what kind of torrent these spots of light turned into, no matter how noisy they became.

In essence, they were still staying in place, not moving at all.

So, they wandered aimlessly, staying where they were.

[Humanity Trial - Headless Crowd of Dragons]

Su Zhou's eyes were tightly closed, and his brows were furrowed.

But soon, the youth's brows relaxed.

If it were an ordinary immortal god facing such chaotic voices of all things, they would probably be like facing a huge and complex mess, unable to sort it out or recognize it all.

However, for Su Zhou, for him, the 'Lord of Judgment', who had been blessed with the vow power of the people of two worlds and had also guided all living beings to the right path in the world of reincarnation, it wouldn't be easy, but at least he had a way to figure things out.

"The seventh level of humanity, the road and gate leading to the eighth level of Heaven, is hidden behind this endless vow power of all living beings."

"If I don't find the clues clearly, I won't be able to reach the goal no matter how much I climb the stairs."

"I must sort out these countless vow powers, so that they are no longer noisy, no longer holding each other back, and no longer killing each other mindlessly, and then establish an order."

"Only in this way can I find the 'road' forward and the 'gate' to the higher level."

Having determined his goal, Su Zhou smiled slightly and prepared to start acting, using the extremely thick vow power of salvation on his body to guide the movements of the thoughts of all living beings.

And it wasn't until this moment that Su Zhou realized how solid his foundation was after cultivating to this point.

Walking all the way to the present, he had not been troubled by any assessment from beginning to end. No matter the direction, no matter the obscure skills, Su Zhou had been involved and developed them.

Even the 'vow power of all living beings', which ordinary immortal gods theoretically could not see, he had learned about from the beginning with the 'Devouring Demon Lord'神通 (shéntōng) (divine power), and later, when he advanced to 'Innovation of the Ages', it became a supreme divine power in this regard.

"Yala, is this your credit? Guiding me to develop so comprehensively, without missing a single aspect."

Speaking to the spirit snake in the soul space, Su Zhou's tone had a teasing flavor.

And the little snake lying on the tree lazily waved its tail, indicating that it didn't want to speak and wouldn't answer.

But even such an action made the meaning very clear.

--Nonsense.

As its contractor, holding the supreme artifact, and traveling through many worlds, if he still couldn't develop in all aspects and become powerful in all aspects, then what Dao would he cultivate, what immortal would he become?

At this moment, Su Zhou had already begun to act.

He used his own mental power as the source, his own vow power and curses as the 'expected goal' and the 'whip of encouragement', and finally, transformed the meaning of 'innovation' into a 'banner of guidance' and threw it into the sky of thoughts.

Then, he ignited the fire of 'change'.

For a time, even though he couldn't see anything, he could still hear the crackling sound of flames burning in his ears.

It was as if there was a piece of paper, white and flawless, but suddenly it began to turn yellow and brittle from the middle, then black and curled up.

Finally, in a sudden 'bang', it began to burn.

Burning everything original while creating change.

In the world that Su Zhou listened to with his eyes closed, the vow power of all living beings was trembling because of his thoughts. The flames were burning for enlightenment and for revelation. As the former Devouring Demon Lord, Su Zhou was too familiar with driving the disorderly thoughts to form order through 'judgment' and 'trial'.

Soon, as the most basic laws were established, everything began to return to order. Prayers, blessings, requests, oaths, curses, and disputes began to gather and differentiate each other, and then formed six major parts. They gathered together, unified the countless scattered voices into six voices, and then, adhering to a certain law, devoured and transformed each other, and constantly captured the chaotic voices outside the order to strengthen themselves.

And vow power was in the center, governing everything.

At first glance, it looked like the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation'.

A long time passed. With Su Zhou's will, an iron-like order began to slowly take shape.

Like dominoes. Once order was formed, it was a dimensionality reduction strike against the instinctual barbarity. The order of the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation' formed by Su Zhou's absolute power was like an indestructible war machine. When all thoughts were unified in a relatively consistent voice, no other voice could sound.

Soon, within the audible range, there were no more chaotic noises. Everything had been divided into the six paths of classification.

Of course, in the entire seventh level of the Humanity void space, there were still countless thoughts that could not escape the chaotic situation, and were on the verge of destruction and disintegration at all times. They were still killing each other, devouring each other, like beasts.

Outside the order, more instinctual thoughts were still fighting each other, creating bloody and noisy sound waves. Screams, wails, and curses were endless.

But it was all over. The fog had dissipated.

Because, relying on this move learned from the 'Six Paths Differentiation' method in the 'Six Paths of Reincarnation Tribulation True Method', Su Zhou had already found the road and gate leading to the higher level.

The pure blue stairs extended toward a higher place, and the deep and quiet gate was at the end of the stairs, waiting for his arrival.

[Humanity - Headless Crowd of Dragons] was finally unified together because of a true dragon and transformed into the indestructible power of human reincarnation.

He had passed.

After accomplishing all of this, Su Zhou nodded slightly. He continued to step on the stairs and walked upwards.

"As expected, only those who can regulate all living beings and bear the thoughts of all living beings can be called 'immortal gods'... but is this 'immortal god' standard a bit high?"

"Ordinary immortal gods are all independent seekers of the Dao, and shouldn't have the requirement of 'governing all living beings', right?"

Although he passed this assessment, and the difficulty of the assessment was indeed sufficient.

Su Zhou, who was a little tired because his mental power was greatly consumed, did not have the joy of success at this moment, but was still harboring a trace of worry, "And... it always feels a little wrong."

At the same time.

Miró, who hurriedly returned to the center of the Dao Transmission Pagoda and began to watch Su Zhou's progress again, was once again plunged into astonished confusion.

Even the hands controlling the rune scheduling inside the Dao Transmission Pagoda were trembling slightly, and the goddess couldn't help but mutter to herself.

[--A bit high compared to the 'immortal god' standard?]

Nonsense!

Because this is not an assessment to select the Righteous Gods of the Celestial Court... but an assessment to select the 'Celestial Emperor Seed'!

The Central Divine Court is internally divided into three teachings, four departments, nine mountains, twelve righteous paths, thirty-three upper heavens, seventy-two blessed lands, one hundred and eight constellations, and countless large and small mountain tops and scattered sects. The autonomous immortal gods, auspicious races, and independent acting Great Sages who are enfeoffed in various places are as numerous as the stars, collectively known as the three thousand worlds.

And the one who leads all of this is the 'Celestial Emperor'.

The selection of the Celestial Emperor is actually very simple. The strongest leader of the strongest force... or rather, the existence that can subdue these tens of thousands of large and small mountain forces, the strongest of the Great Celestials, is the contemporary Celestial Emperor.

However, although the conditions are so high, the number of Celestial Emperors in hundreds of thousands of years of history is also quite large.

As for the changes in their status, some are replaced because of insufficient strength, some are too lazy to continue managing affairs and abdicate to others, some are killed in battle with hostile forces, and even some of the Great Celestials' main bodies and incarnations have served several terms in a scattered manner.

And the kind of thing where you drive me down today, and I drive you down a few days later is also common.

But no matter what, the basic requirements of the Celestial Emperor are still the same.

Since the requirements are so strict, it is better to start cultivating from the beginning, select the most powerful seeds, and hone and assess them as the successors of the Dao lineage, the future Celestial Emperor.

Therefore, after the Immortal God Six Paths, there are also the Celestial Emperor Three Paths as the final assessment to conduct the final trial for those who perform best in the Immortal God Trials.

In the Myriad Mysteries Dao Transmission Pagoda, a Celestial Emperor did indeed emerge, proving the correctness of this theory.

But these things made Miró even more confused.

She even muttered to herself.

[I clearly haven't told him that this is the trial of the Celestial Emperor Seed, nor have I told him the key points of the trial -- Su Zhou, how did he find this trial checkpoint and pass it?!]

It's like a game where he started killing and even cleared the game before even passing the tutorial level... Miró couldn't understand this kind of thing at all.

[And how does he even know this? Such thick vow power, and still the purest Divine Dao vow power?]

[Just a young man in his early twenties, even if he is a terrestrial immortal and worshiped by the entire Immortal Sky, shouldn't have such deep vow power, as if he has been worshiped and praised for hundreds of years!]

There is a difference between vow power and vow power.

Foolish people will kneel to all the gods in the world. Even Confucian saints and military strategists will kneel and offer incense, and pray for blessings, peace, wealth, children, and even all wishes to these people who actually have no ability in this area.

But that is just the essence of foolish people belittling themselves. They must kneel at someone's feet to feel at ease. They don't understand the teachings and principles of the saints and sages, the loyalty and determination of the great generals, the wisdom and courage of their predecessors, and only kneel to things they don't understand.

Even if there is such vow power, it is the lowest kind of vow power.

However, the vow power condensed on Su Zhou, although there is a lot of this kind of vow power, also has the highest kind of vow power, not 'worship', but 'followership'!

That is the supreme vow power that can only be entrusted by those who have truly read the teachings of the followed, followed its teachings of the righteous path and the righteous law, and believe that the other party can bring order and make thousands of people live and work in peace and contentment...

This upper vow power is worth tens of millions of lower vow powers, and many ancient gods may not have much.

But Su Zhou has it, and a lot of it!

And, most importantly, it's not just this.

Through the light screen, gazing at Su Zhou, Miró Goddess, who clearly didn't have this function in her divine body, also felt a sense of 'dry mouth' spiritually.

[And why... can he so skillfully mobilize power, construct order, become the 'only voice' in this world, and then mobilize the thoughts of all living beings for his own use?]

--If it is an immortal god, the most powerful immortal god, as long as his thoughts appear, they will become order.

[As the saying goes, 'When the voice of the Celestial Emperor comes out, all beings in the myriad phenomena are subdued'... Was he born knowing this 'righteous path'?]

Looking at Su Zhou's face, which for some reason was standing in front of the gate to the eighth level and pondering, Miró Goddess's gaze changed again and again.

From pure surprise to contemplation, and then with joy and elation.

And in the end, it turned into a strong expectation.

And, excitement!

The goddess looked at Su Zhou, as if looking at the Celestial Emperor who had been gone for a long time. Her eyes were bright, and the green light seemed to be burning, causing her to exclaim: [Yes, yes!]

[The world has changed drastically, and the great calamity of the universe is approaching. The Central Divine Court is gone, and the creatures of the Immortal Sky are in chaos... But if there is another Celestial Emperor in this world, then there will be no more internal strife and conquest in this world. Once the light of the Celestial Emperor shines, there will be no more chaos in the world, and all forces can be mobilized and used.]

[In this case, even if we still can't resist the calamity, at least we have tried, and we will be worthy of all the principles and great daos in this myriad of phenomena.]

Clenching her hands excitedly, even Miró Goddess, a man-made pagoda spirit, couldn't help but look forward to such a future.

But, as she was getting excited, she suddenly heard a decisive voice.

"No."

At this moment, Su Zhou, who was standing in front of the gate leading to the eighth level and had stopped, suddenly turned around.

He looked at the 'Six Paths Order' behind him, and his eyes suddenly revealed extremely thick worry, "Although the Six Paths of Reincarnation Order is stable, in the final analysis, it's just 'repeating the same thing'!"

He said this. The youth's voice was full of spontaneous enlightenment, "I understand -- this level of the trial is actually 'guiding the direction of humanity'!"

"Merging countless chaotic voices into one, gathering countless tributaries into the Yangtze River... The thoughts of all living beings are headless dragons, each speaking, muddled, without beliefs or principles, and contradict and conquer each other."

"If I speak, my voice will naturally be like thunder, and the dragons will have a head. All living beings will follow the 'king', follow the 'emperor', follow the order created by my power... But in the end, how many times has such a path been repeated in this universe? It may be stable, but is it really correct?"

"Using the power of immortal gods to override humanity, turning the direction like driving a mount, is the 'Celestial Emperor'. But He is not the direction of humanity itself."

Su Zhou opened his eyes wide. The young immortal god's green and purple dragon eyes looked at the pale and empty seventh level space of the Trial Seeking Pagoda.

Although he couldn't see anything, he could still hear the increasingly loud and majestic sound of the Six Paths turning.

Like gears meshing, fitting together, eternally rotating and circulating the 'sound of reincarnation'.

If he achieved this path, he would only be a 'Reincarnation Celestial Emperor'.

Reincarnation turns, as order, is naturally stable, but how long will it take for an overcomer to break free? How can such an overly powerful order be reformed and progressed?

Just getting bigger, just expanding, is just repeating the same thing, just like Elias adding pages to the legal code again and again, but unable to fundamentally reconcile people's hearts.

"This is wrong."

Saying this firmly, Su Zhou stretched out his hand.

In the Dao Transmission Pagoda center, at the Miró Goddess's sudden exclamation, the youth's invisible mental power erupted, like a rushing meteor, forcibly shattering the Six Paths of Reincarnation Order that was constantly expanding.

Vow power, prayers, blessings, requests, oaths, curses, and disputes, they broke away from order again, differentiated out, and turned into chaotic fragments like stars in the sky.

And the gate leading to the eighth level, the 'Heavenly Dao Trial', was once again obscured and closed.

At this moment, only the endless pure blue glass light remained under Su Zhou's feet.

But he was not decadent or lost in the slightest.

Unlike the Miró Goddess in the center, who was watching all of this in confusion, wondering why Su Zhou wanted to destroy his path to the Celestial Emperor.

The youth smiled.

He stretched out his hand again, and his thoughts burst forth.

Then, he began to use the 'Power of Innovation of the Ages' to guide a path in this pale void.

The big eats the small, the small eats the tiny, and the tiny eats the corpses of the big. This is reincarnation, and also order and reason. But it cannot move forward.

Fire plus meat is cooked food. Just steel hammering steel can also create swords, plows, armor, tanks, rockets, and spaceships, and even more things.

Rather than the endless circle of reincarnation, it is better to create a route.

Using his endless vow power that saved two worlds as a guide, shaping his goal in the void, even though Su Zhou's mental power was greatly exhausted, his body was sweating, and his body, capable of moving mountains and seas, was trembling, he still smiled naturally.

"What is humanity? Humanity is by no means the change of dynasties, the repeated ups and downs of rulers, but to condense the unwavering and enterprising beliefs of infinite humans into a torrent, so that in the future, everyone can follow this path and walk firmly towards the infinite distance."

"This constantly innovating and advancing route is the dragon."

"The true torrent of humanity, the masses of all beings, the dragon of innovation of the ages!"

Faintly, a dragon's roar could be heard.

In the void, a faint ripple could be seen -- a long strip extending towards the endless distance, a never-ending road.

After finishing the guidance, Su Zhou put down his hand and stopped continuing.

But he could still hear the sound of the mighty torrent flowing endlessly.

--Wishing tomorrow would be better. Praying the future could be bright. Blessing others to have smooth sailing. No longer fearing the advancement of time, swearing to move forward, and then blaming the past self for stopping. Fighting with oneself.

Wishing, praying, blessing, requesting, swearing, resenting, contending. The seven major human desires, at this moment, were actually guided by the same will, the same belief, and the same 'voice'...

So, move forward!

In an instant, an invisible divine dragon transformed into a vast silver river in the world of vow power and began to rush towards the distance.

In front of this human torrent dragon, which was gathered by the thoughts of all living beings, everything appeared -- even the road and gate leading to the eighth level, [Heavenly Dao Trial], were washed out by this torrent, revealing their true faces!

Even... as this endless vow power collided, the gate was directly shattered, and following this weak point, the gray fog barrier of the entire trial space was directly smashed into a huge, cracked gap!

"Boom!!!"

In this instant, the upper three levels of the Myriad Mysteries Dao Transmission Pagoda began to sway slightly.

And in this swaying pale world, the youth's expression did not change.

"Although I know this is the right thing to do."

At this time, Su Zhou gazed at the trajectory of the divine dragon and muttered to himself with regret, "But now, I can't do it. Only in this virtual trial space can I guide this human will, which I don't know how many times it has been simplified. Compared to the 8 billion real human thoughts outside, it is still too small."

"Even now, I can suppress all the countries on this earth, make all the countries unite, and no longer have internal disputes..."

"As long as I exist, I can make them perform their duties, transform into the Six Paths Cycle, maintain the stability of the cycle of reincarnation, and move toward the exploration of the pioneers, occasionally adding a little chaotic possibility, so that they can exist forever for a long time, like an immortal divine tree..."

"But, it can't go any further, that's all. It's just the Heavenly Emperor's way of governing the world with one's own power."

Closing his eyes and sighing, Su Zhou's tone was even more firm.

"I know this principle. I don't want to be the Heavenly Emperor. But the current me cannot truly lead the human will, self-innovate, and determine the route. I can only use the world's competitive variety shows as a guide to inspire the desire for victory, the desire to fight, and the desire to perform in people's hearts."

"But all of this is just the current me -- I will also innovate and become stronger. One day, I can also forge such a 'Human Torrent, Dragon of Innovation of the Ages' in the real world!"

The youth's eyes were blazing. He raised his head and looked at the direction of the human dragon he had guided. In his green and purple dragon eyes, there was spiritual light flashing.

[Terrible!]

At this moment, Miró Goddess, who had been dumbfounded by Su Zhou's series of actions to guide and shape the Human Torrent Dragon, and could not think for a while what kind of operation that was, suddenly changed her expression when she saw the huge hole smashed out by the Human Torrent.

She hurriedly transformed into her own blue cloud body containing light spots and began to control the runes in the Dao Transmission Pagoda at the fastest speed to correct all existing errors, but she was still one step too late: [The trial barrier has been smashed... Although there was indeed a prediction, how could someone really do this?!]

[It's too late -- the two layers of the realm overlap, and the Heavenly Dao Trial is coming!]

But, then, Miró Goddess's voice suddenly stopped.

Because she saw that there was a dragon. A ferocious divine dragon with horns, a long tail, huge and strong like a mountain, but wings that covered the sky, was roaring and vibrating its wings, flying towards the broken two-layer hole!

That was Su Zhou -- Su Zhou's unprecedented 'Candlelight True Form', which had never been seen even in all the records of the Central Divine Court!

He charged like this, without hesitation, flying towards the obvious Heavenly Dao Trial!

Eighth floor.

[--Heavenly Dao--]

[Heavenly Dao Trial - Deny Heaven and Replace the Dragon]

The cosmic space, filled with endless silver starlight and pitch-black darkness, was inhabited by endless calamities.

As the Heavenly Dao operates, all kinds of disasters will always appear around cultivators.

The spiritual energy imbalance caused by cultivation, leading to the overgrowth of vegetation, or the advent of drought, or even floods and frost, are all common occurrences. The sudden change in spiritual energy caused by breakthroughs can also trigger natural thunder tribulations if it is a cloudy day with abundant spiritual energy.

In the dark, there is always a force that wants to exterminate all cultivators.

And the immortal gods know this clearly, but they don't hear it.

--Without sound, it is called Xi.

--Hearing but not hearing, refusing and denying.

Since the Heavenly Dao is impermanent, use force to attack it.

As immortal gods, if they don't even fight against natural laws and don't change them, can they still be called immortal gods?

Guiding the direction of the colorless masses, using power to resist the laws of the operation of all phenomena -- immortal and undying, always intending to lead the immortal gods of the heavens and the masses, their existence itself is a rejection and denial of the natural environment.

This is the view of humanity and the Heavenly Dao in the Three Paths of Xi Yi.

Originally, the 'Heavenly Dao Trial' located on the eighth floor should have waited for the test taker to enter, first mobilizing the Three Tribulations of Gale Wind, True Fire, and Divine Lightning, then descending the Three Tribulations of Heavenly Star, Silver River, and Divine Light, and finally coming the Three Tribulations of Empty Void, Heavenly Prison, and Void Nothingness.

After enduring the Nine Tribulations, those who are still alive will naturally pass the trial.

Anyway, if they can pass these nine stages, the old heavens can't do anything to the test taker, so they can deny heaven as they want, and it's just a matter of a thought.

But, now, just when the Heavenly Dao Trial was not ready.

Along with an unprecedented and terrifying shock, an invisible and formless great force bombarded, and the door originally leading to the seventh floor was directly smashed to pieces and then turned into a huge hole filled with cracks.

And a ferocious 'divine dragon', which looked like it should be a dragon, but even Miró couldn't determine its race, jumped out of the hole in this way and entered this trial space in an extremely domineering manner.

In a way that the trial didn't even have time to react.

"Is this the eighth floor? It looks quite peaceful."

When Su Zhou transformed into his true form and arrived on the eighth floor, everything had not yet started.

Completely opposite to the previous human space, the Heavenly Dao space was pitch-black, just like the universe. Apart from the stars in the sky, there was nothing else.

Only terrifying darkness and the disasters operating in the dark.

And coincidentally, just at the moment when Su Zhou finished speaking, the Heavenly Dao Trial, which had finally recovered from the impact of the Human Torrent Dragon, finally restarted with Miró's efforts to repair it.

In that instant, the stars in the sky swayed, and the spiritual energy in the universe operated rapidly, and then concentrated a force of attraction that encompassed all things, all on Su Zhou.

"Oh?"

At this time, Su Zhou also noticed a trace of something wrong. He could see that some stars in the distance, under this suddenly increased attraction, began to move slowly and accelerated towards where he was -- affected by this gravity, those flying stars that were already flying rapidly in the universe suddenly accelerated ten times.

Long streams of starlight swept across the darkness, and then quietly struck towards Su Zhou -- in an instant, stars fell like rain!

Cosmic space does not have sound, if you have to say that it is 'silent, called Xi', it is really in line with the conditions.

Facing this 'Heavenly Star Tribulation', which appeared out of order because of his abrupt raid, Su Zhou silently laughed in the cosmic space.

--Heavenly Tribulation?

Whether it is releasing or resisting, I am very capable!

Facing the overwhelming flying stars, the huge Candlelight Dragon spread its wings, countless white scales began to charge and brighten, and then, as the great dragon flapped its wings, countless self-destruct scales, constantly generated and regenerated, sprayed out of the Candlelight Dragon Cosmic War 2.93A version of the wings like a metal storm!

Endless explosions, forming cutting blades, easily 'cut open' and 'blasted open' the nearest few ultra-high-speed iron-core meteorites, and then continued to sweep towards other flying stars, triggering a series of horizontal screen explosions!
