Gods Vanish on a Cloudy Day

Chapter 32 You've Advanced Again!

Chapter 431 You've Leveled Up Again and Again?! (Ten Thousand Word Chapter Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

More than two months ago.

December 23, 2017, Southeast Zhengguo, Qingqiu Secret Realm, beside the two-realm portal.

When the Yuanwang (Distant Hope) ship returned, fully loaded with more than two thousand Qingqiu foxes, bringing the bad news that the 'Bingzhu' (Master of Weapons) might be unsealed and that the Tianmo (Heavenly Devils) were ravaging Qingqiu Star, the senior officials of Zhengguo were collectively shaken.

In fact, the senior officials of Zhengguo had already anticipated that some pessimistic events might be discovered on Qingqiu Star when they dispatched the Yuanwang ship. After all, the warning from the Chixiao Sword (Scarlet Sky Sword) was rare in ancient times, and its appearance this time must represent an extraordinary disaster.

But even so, the bad news was still too much.

"Arrange accommodation for those Qingqiu people – but don't let them have contact with the outside world... Yes, I know that many media outlets are expecting our first contact with the natives of the Qingqiu Secret Realm, but this news must be suppressed."

After a serious exchange with the elders of the Qingqiu people, the Wen Sheng (Sage of Culture) and Li Sheng (Sage of Rites), who had a general understanding of the current situation of Qingqiu Star, were preparing to hold an emergency meeting.

The old man's expression was solemn: "Bingzhu and Tianmo, such news will only cause chaos and nothing else. Before we send reinforcements and return, all this news must be blocked, and the production structure must be adjusted to prepare."

"This is not difficult, but the problem is that the current situation is still unclear – Su Zhou stayed on Qingqiu Star. Lin Chengde, Liu Wuxin, and Tang Yuan all confirmed that he was still fighting a Overlord-level Tianmo before the Yuanwang ship left Qingqiu Star's orbit. I am not worried about his safety, but since an Overlord can appear on Qingqiu Star, is it possible that there will be more Overlords?"

Li Sheng was also an old man, with long eyebrows and a long beard, and a worried expression on his face: "The resurrection of the Celestial Venerable, the Tianmo all over the planet, and the possible multiple Earth Immortals are all things that need to be dealt with by the human collective. I think a joint international conference must be held later, and this matter cannot be delayed."

"The mess left by the immortals and gods is really too much..." Speaking of this, Wen Sheng couldn't help but sigh: "The Shengzhu (Lord of Life) Great Tree, the Bingzhu Tianmo, it's only been three years, and two Celestial Venerables may have resurrected. Why don't other countries have these things?"

"Maybe they didn't say it. After all, not reporting is the same as not existing."

Li Sheng told a cold joke: "Have you forgotten the Typhon Realm a few days ago? And the three ancient secret realms urgently sealed off by the American Federation... Unless they say it, who knows what the specific situation is?"

"In the end, the immortals and gods all over the world are the same. They probably never thought that they would leave this matter. It's really hard for us successors."

Complaints were only temporary, because this matter was indeed of great importance, and the meeting was quickly convened.

The specific process of the meeting need not be described in detail. In short, whether it was within Zhengguo or at the joint international conference, everyone watched the large amount of concrete evidence brought back by the Yuanwang ship.

The combat video with the Tianmo, and the activation of the Bingzhu's true soul core fragments, were enough to prove the authenticity of these events, not to mention the Qingqiu people using their own experiences to explain their painful history over the past millennium – that was not something that could be easily faked.

Therefore, within a few days, major forces around the world reached a consensus, and the situation instantly became serious.

On the surface, Zhengguo's official announcement to the outside world was that the exploration of the Qingqiu Secret Realm was gradually becoming clear, and it was preparing to invest in a second batch of exploration teams to expand the scope of exploration.

In secret, major forces around the world were using the fastest speed to gather strength, deploy equipment, and even unseal long-dormant divine artifacts to prepare for the worst.

Fortunately, with the help of the Talin people and the gradual loosening of the Keluo people, the construction of Earth's ships had not stopped. During this period, artisans from various countries, in cooperation with the fully operational industrial system, had built many experimental prototype ships – but now, there was no time to worry about whether they were prototypes or not.

For a time, almost all prototype ships, whether they were replica ships based on the wreckage of the moon-backed ship, standard exploration ships of the same model as the Yuanwang ship, or other strange ships, were all activated and sent to Qingqiu Wu, located in the Qingqiu Secret Realm, to set off together.

Multiple countries, multiple warships, this may be the first multinational joint fleet action in human history.

"Overlord Earth Immortal, huh..."

In a Zhengguo universe warship, the leader of the Weiwu (Martial Prowess) lineage, the old curator Liu Li, was in the same cabin as the Yuzhu (Jade Pearl) that sealed the Luori Gong (Falling Sun Bow), suppressing the divine weapon's ferocity.

This Zhengguo Envoy, who held the Zhenguo Shenbing (Nation-Protecting Divine Weapon), had muscles so developed that they were like bronze armor. He stared at the porthole showing the cosmic starry sky and couldn't help but sigh: "I never thought that only three years after the spiritual energy recovered, a celestial being would appear in the secret realm."

Earth Immortal, Overlord, Demon God... These titles, without exception, all described the power and rarity of this realm. Even in the ancient immortal and divine civilizations that had lasted for hundreds of thousands of years, Earth Immortals could not be said to be common. They were the mainstay of maintaining the divine court, and were truly strong people who managed and ruled a place.

Although, the Tianmo were different from human cultivators, Earth Immortals were still Earth Immortals. Even the worst Tianmo Earth Immortal was still an Earth Immortal.

Holding the Falling Sun Bow, Liu Li was confident that he could resist an Earth Immortal. If he had the opportunity to unleash the full power of the divine weapon, it would not be difficult to kill an Earth Immortal.

But he also knew very well that Su Zhou, who was still on Qingqiu Star, also held a strand of Chixiao Jian qi (Scarlet Sky Sword energy) and could also unleash the power equivalent to a strike from a divine weapon.

The power of the divine weapon was greatly related to the strength of the attacker. Although it was embarrassing to say, Liu Li knew that his realm was far lower than Su Zhou, who was estimated to have reached the peak of the Commander realm. They both held divine weapons, and the power that Su Zhou unleashed would definitely be greater than his, this old man.

But if that Tianmo Earth Immortal was so powerful that even Su Zhou couldn't kill it, then even if he held the divine weapon itself, he probably couldn't do better.

-- I hope Su Zhou is still alive. In that case, I will hand over the Falling Sun Bow to him, and he will urge the power of the divine weapon itself. In this way, as long as the enemy has not reached the Overlord high-stage, there will be a chance to kill them.

As one of the strongest divine weapons of the creator-level Demon God Imperial family that had shot and killed many high-stage Celestial Immortals and divine beasts, and annihilated the "Ancestor of the Golden Crow," even if it was controlled by Liu Li, who was in the Commander realm, at the cost of the Falling Sun Bow completely losing control and his own death, it might not be impossible to severely injure a high-stage Overlord by crossing an entire great realm.

While thinking about the plan to fight on Qingqiu Star, Liu Li didn't consider the possibility of the 'Bingzhu successfully unsealing' at all.

In fact, the officials of various countries around the world, all the forces of mankind, did not think about this possibility.

Because there was no need.

If a Da Tianzun (Great Celestial Venerable) successfully unsealed, either all of mankind would be wiped out, or they would bow down and become subjects. Of course, it was also possible that the Bingzhu was magnanimous, considering that the Jiuli people were still living well, and noticing that the immortals and gods had all left this universe, he would be too lazy to bother with these mortals.

But in any case, the current human civilization has no room for resistance against a Da Tianzun.

On the other hand, Earth Immortals, even multiple Earth Immortals, could be dealt with if the human world went all out.

Just like Zhengguo, not to mention Wen Sheng and Yan Sheng, who needed to guard the Earth and held the Chixiao Sword and the Luotu River Book, the Weiwu lineage holding the Falling Sun Bow, and another Zhenguo Envoy, the holder of the Ganshan Bian (Mountain-Driving Whip) from a certain mysterious Dao Venerable inheritance, were all in the multinational fleet, heading to Qingqiu Star to prepare for support.

In addition, among the Thirty-Six Sages, seven Sage Seats were dispatched, with Dao Sheng and Li Sheng as the leaders.

This number was not small. After all, the Sage Seats themselves had their own work, and the Sage Seats did not represent cultivation strength. Only these seven Sage Seats could spare the time and were powerful enough, and it was impossible to have more.

Other major forces also sent their inheritors who held divine artifacts – about half of the high-level martial power and divine artifacts of mankind were here, while the other half were stationed on Earth. If bad news came from the Qingqiu Realm, they would close the two-realm portal and directly defend the Earth.

Of course, some people had a pessimistic and serious attitude, while others were quite optimistic.

Just like Tang Yuan, who was still on the Yuanwang ship and set off with the multinational fleet as a member of the guide team, had a relaxed expression and showed no worry.

And this relaxation even aroused the dissatisfaction of the blonde beauty beside him.

"Secretary Tang, why aren't you worried at all?"

Jin Qiong, who had already started interning in the New World Exploration Department, was inexplicably also incorporated into this joint fleet operation. She found it difficult to understand why Tang Yuan could still hum a little tune while recording his work, even though his boss was alone on an alien planet, fighting the Tianmo of the entire planet, which was out of tune with the serious atmosphere of the entire fleet: "Su Demon King... I mean Su Zhou, he is very likely to die there! Not to mention that humanity will encounter a major crisis, your future will definitely be bleak!"

Although, because of personal grievances, Jin Qiong often fantasized in her mind that after she advanced to the Commander realm, she would step on Su Zhou, who had transformed into a dragon-snake, in a real-body duel – but the current crisis of all mankind was another matter, and she couldn't gloat over Su Zhou's misfortune on the Tianmo planet.

Of course, this was not because she was worried about him, but simply because she wanted to defeat Su Zhou with her own hands, so she couldn't let him die inexplicably on an alien planet.

After all, the monster of the Six Paths Tianmo was also recorded in the classics left by the immortal and divine era. It once broke out in a realm ruled by the Zhuguo (India) Divine System, causing a certain country to turn into a red land, with Tianmo dancing wildly, almost completely destroying the country.

Most of the countries in the immortal and divine era represented a realm or a life planet... What did this mean? It meant that even if the Bingzhu's resurrection was not counted, the Six Paths Tianmo itself was a planet-level disaster in a sense!

If things really came to that point, then the Earth side could only choose to block the realm and defend the time-space gate – after all, no matter how strong the Tianmo were, it would be very difficult for them to cross the void and fight the Earthlings who were waiting in full battle at Qingqiu Wu.

Even she felt anxious about this terrible disaster, so Jin Qiong couldn't understand why Tang Yuan was so optimistic.

"With the Minister, I don't think he will lose."

In response, Tang Yuan directly and simply replied: "To be honest, the Minister was only one step away from the Overlord realm at that time – I am almost certain that he can directly advance to Overlord in battle."

"Even in the Commander realm, the Minister can fight back and forth with that Tianmo Overlord. If he also advances to Overlord, then I think the Minister can hang that Tianmo Overlord up and beat him."

Although the Yuanwang ship directly evacuated after dropping the nuclear bomb and did not continue to observe the subsequent battle – after all, whether Su Zhou won or lost, they had to inform the Earth side as quickly as possible, but Tang Yuan was very confident in Su Zhou's strength.

Even Lin Chengde and Liu Wuxin wouldn't have this trust... After all, even xuanhuan (fantasy) novelists would not dare to use the matter of breaking through before a battle easily, let alone this was a battle between an Overlord and a Commander. Could the Tianmo give Su Zhou time to advance?

Even Su Zhou couldn't break through to Overlord in an instant!

Therefore, except for Tang Yuan, most people held a pessimistic attitude about this.

However, regardless of whether they were pessimistic or optimistic, the fleet was sailing.

The silver-blue spiritual energy light stream created a sea-like light mist behind the fleet, which rose and fell and spread in the dark space of the universe.

During the tense and solemn voyage, the fleet also saw Qingqiu Si (Four), which had been half-modified by the immortals and gods – the obvious artificial modification marks made all cultivators who did not have a clear perception of the power of immortals and gods stunned and speechless. This kind of earth-shaking feat, which human civilization could not do at all, made them even more cautious about the Bingzhu and Overlord Tianmo sealed on Qingqiu Star.

After another period of time, the extremely cautious multinational joint fleet arrived in Qingqiu Star's orbit.

"Strange, strange."

In a universe warship led by the Zhengguo lineage, Dao Sheng, whose full head of white hair had turned black, stood at the forefront of the bridge. The majestic old man looked out at the beautiful planet, half sea blue and half emerald green, and his tone couldn't help but carry a trace of puzzlement: "This is different from the information given by the Yuanwang ship..."

With the vision of a cultivator, Dao Sheng could see that Qingqiu Star was not surrounded by extremely thick dark clouds, like a nut ball wrapped in chocolate, as the information given by the Yuanwang ship stated.

In fact, the planet looked very normal. Although there were indeed a lot of clouds and mist, that was probably just normal celestial movement. At most, it could be considered that typhoons were more frequent.

"In the central part of the ocean, there is an unnatural phenomenon of dust diffusion..."

At this time, Li Sheng had already taken out the analysis report from the warship. The nearly one-hundred-year-old man came to the front line with the idea of sacrificing himself for the country, but now he was a little inexplicable: "Looking at these feathery dust structures – it's volcanic ash. A large-scale volcanic eruption occurred in that place, and its momentum is almost comparable to the super volcano belt eruption near Kyushu Island in Yingzhou."

"But the strange thing is that it wouldn't be strange for these dusts to spread all over the world, but according to the analysis report, these dusts were directly erased by a certain force when they came to the coast of Qingqiu Continent – just like erasing them with an eraser, directly erasing them, without leaving any trace."

This was indeed a strange phenomenon. In addition to Zhengguo, other forces in the joint fleet also discovered this and communication began to be frequent in the channels.

In response, Dao Sheng thought for a while, and then ordered.

"Try to conduct long-wave detection."

Saying so, the old man ordered the entire fleet to activate their spiritual energy shields, and then activate the spiritual energy radar to scan Qingqiu Star – he knew that this might trigger an orbital strike from the enemy, but compared to withstanding attacks, intelligence was still the most important thing: "Multiple ships are staggered, and uninterrupted scanning is performed, so don't miss every detail."

And upon receiving the order, the fleet, which had already undergone coordinated training during the two-month voyage, began to act. Immediately, in the public channel, orderly detection reports came one after another.

The spiritual energy radar's waveband swept across the entire Qingqiu Star, without missing a single thing, and all the warships in the joint fleet supported their maximum power spiritual energy shields, preparing to meet the coming orbital spiritual arrow attack.

But strangely, none of this happened.

No spiritual arrows, no attacks, and not even an opposing response on the planet.

The planet rotated, and a strong aura of life came from the green Qingqiu Continent. Apart from the volcanic smoke and dust in the central part of the ocean that had not yet dissipated, the entire planet was as beautiful as a work of art.

"...Is it a trap?"

For a time, in addition to Dao Sheng, other command levels in the multinational fleet also fell into silence and doubt. Even members of the Yuanwang ship, such as Lin Chengde and Liu Wuxin, felt confused: "That's not right. When we conducted a spiritual energy scan, the spiritual arrow attack came almost in the next instant!"

"Yes, if it wasn't so fast, we might not have been shot down!"

But regardless of whether it was a trap, the action would not stagnate. Since the enemy did not counterattack, they would strive not to show any flaws and then carry out their plans.

"Carry out an orderly landing!"

Saying so, immediately, below all the spaceships hovering in Qingqiu Star's orbit, as the metal valves slowly opened, a streamlined, shuttle-shaped landing shuttle appeared. All the cultivators who were preparing to carry out the first batch of landing operations were inside, preparing to execute the fastest landing operation!

"Begin!"

With an order, countless meteors fell.

Hundreds of landing shuttles flew out, entered the atmosphere, and crashed towards the several safe landing points determined by the Yuanwang ship in the past, with meteor-like flame tails.

Hundreds of dazzling lights lit up in the sky, and they sparked whistling thunderous sounds, shaking the world.

If viewed from Qingqiu Star's perspective, it would be a series of huge meteors flying from afar, reaching the top of the firmament, and then they split into hundreds of small meteors, causing the light to fall like rain.

Soon, because all the landing shuttles were landing at an angle of nearly ninety degrees, they hit the ground faster than real meteorites – accompanied by a loud booming sound, the first landing shuttle had already landed on the ground. It crashed on a plain, blasting a small circular crater on the smooth grassland, causing dirt and rocks to splash.

The landing shuttle was nearly ten meters high and several meters wide, like a small container. After landing, it stuck in the ground, like a silver watchtower.

And this was not the end. After the first landing shuttle landed, other landing shuttles fell to the ground one after another – it was as if a large steel forest had descended from the sky. For a time, the entire plain was full of silver watchtowers.

Bang! Crack--

The sound of a metal valve opening came, and the huge iron door fell, like stairs built on the ground, and a series of fully armed cultivators, wearing exoskeleton armor, walked out of it in a coherent manner, forming an elite team.

These cultivators wore the most advanced generation of exoskeleton armor. Each landing cabin's cultivators was a complete combat squad – the general formation was a firepower operator, a strong attacker, an engineer, a defender, and a scout. They were equipped with heavy firepower arms that had been enchanted and modified by Taoist methods and magic, and engraved with talismans. They also carried various cold weapons, and after a simple modification of the landing shuttle, they could also modify a engineering vehicle for rapid movement.

Among these teams, each team had multiple Super凡 (Extraordinary) stage cultivators. Only the strength requirements for engineering personnel were not high, but there were also extraordinary stage engineering personnel. They were the most elite army that humans could possess today.

For a time, hundreds of independent combat squads appeared on this plain. According to the plan, they would go to the areas where Qingqiu people's shelters might exist under the guidance of orbital spaceships, communicate with the local people, and try to fight the Tianmo army. Of course, finding Su Zhou's whereabouts was also the top priority.

They had a complete plan table that was very precise and could cope with most unexpected situations.

However, at the beginning of the operation, the biggest accident occurred.

Buzz--!!!!

In an instant, all the spiritual energy reconnaissance instruments in all the combat squads emitted the most urgent warning sound! A huge spiritual energy fluctuation suddenly appeared at a certain point on the plain, and it was very close to the location where they landed!

"Ene, enemy attack?!"

Without even needing instruments, just by relying on the instinctive spiritual energy perception of all the cultivators, everyone was shocked to find that a powerful spiritual energy source that had surpassed the Commander stage, directly reached the Overlord, reached the Earth Immortal realm, appeared around them!

In an instant, everyone turned their heads in astonishment, looking in the direction from which the spiritual energy fluctuation came.

Then, they saw a figure who was originally sitting on the ground and was now slowly getting up in that direction.

That figure was not unique, but for some reason, it attracted the attention of everyone present, as if he was the center of heaven and earth.

Whether it was attention or wandering spiritual energy, when he released the constraints on his own strength, he guided everything like a vortex.

And needless to say, that face was even more familiar to everyone, at least most of the cultivators present.

Because on Earth, there were news and messages about him almost every day. Even when he went to another world to carry out tasks, his online popularity did not decrease by half. The debates about him, whether about his strength or character, about his talent or supernatural powers, and even his bloodline origin, and even comparing him to ancient immortals and gods... these topics continued endlessly without any results.

Su Zhou.

That was Su Zhou's figure.

For some unknown reason, Su Zhou, who had been waiting here for a long time, slowly got up and gently released his Overlord-stage spiritual energy and momentum, clearly spreading his spiritual energy fluctuations to the entire plain without causing any changes in the weather.

In an instant, the sky and earth darkened, and then returned to brightness - this was an illusion caused by the eyes due to the release of too much spiritual energy.

But even so, several Qingqiu children who had transformed into little foxes were either lying on his shoulders or being held in his arms, sleeping soundly and comfortably.

These Qingqiu children, who were taken by Su Zhou for an outing, were currently in their daily nap time. The noise when the landing shuttle landed was blocked by the huge spiritual energy, and there was no sign of them being awakened by the release of his spiritual energy fluctuations.

Complete harmony, micro-level manipulation.

After stabilizing his Overlord Earth Immortal realm and possessing a Heavenly Soul karma position, Su Zhou, who could perform spiritual energy manipulation with tens of times the sensory time of an ordinary cultivator, could easily do such a thing.

At the same time, in orbit.

"The surface of the planet suddenly detected an Overlord-stage spiritual energy fluctuation!"

"Emergency! It's an ambush! That Overlord was already waiting at the landing point!"

"What's the situation now?!"

At this moment, the atmosphere in the multinational joint fleet's channel was very tense and the situation was extremely grim. High-level commanders, including Dao Sheng, were calling the ground troops extremely seriously, wanting to know the situation - and in all the warships, strategic weapons were ready and Commander-level powerhouses holding Divine Weapons were also ready at all times. As long as the time was right, the largest joint attack that humans could launch would erupt on the surface of Qingqiu Star.

However, soon, a voice that was a little stuttering due to excessive surprise, but was generally still smooth, sounded in the channel.

"Rep, report! Everything is fine!"

"We found Minister Su!"

……

When Dao Sheng, Li Sheng, Liu Li, one Sage Seat, and one Nation-Protecting Envoy, with bewildered expressions, landed on the surface of Qingqiu Star and met Su Zhou, the young man was still petting a little white fox in his hand.

Qingqiu children would maintain the form of celestial foxes for most of the time before they could live independently (8 years old) to reduce consumption and to facilitate hiding and living. However, unlike the Ice Fox Clan on Qingqiu Si, they would still consume normal human food to ensure the healthy growth of their human bodies and would not cause malnutrition.

After expelling most of the Tianmo, the lives of the Qingqiu people gradually began to move from the shelter to the ground. However, in the busy process of rebuilding their homes, the number of people taking care of the many Qingqiu children became scarce.

In response, Su Zhou volunteered to say that he could take care of these cute little guys - but how dare the Qingqiu people let a celestial being take care of children?

They would rather assign a group of people to take care of the children, slowing down the speed of reconstruction, than let Su Zhou do this, wasting the time of this great person.

"I really don't care at all... Alright, alright."

Although that was the case, Su Zhou, feeling quite regretful in the face of the Qingqiu people's somewhat terrified rejection, would still take a batch of lucky little guys flying around Qingqiu Star from time to time to see the scenery all over the planet - he would not allow others to refuse this.

"These little guys should be wandering in the sunshine, but they were born in the dark underground. At this time, I am just letting them be like their ancestors, able to roam freely in this vast world."

It had to be said that this reason was really reasonable and well-founded.

But for the Earthlings, this scene was a bit strange.

Su Zhou, who was originally thought to be fighting hard with the Tianmo, even needing to flee around the entire planet, waiting for their support, was actually waiting at the landing point in advance as if he had known they were coming - not to mention waiting, he was still leisurely petting foxes!

And even more terrifying was the realm that was obviously and almost written on his face!

Overlord! Earth Immortal!

Far surpassing the Commander stage, the spiritual energy fluctuation almost covered most of the plain, completely covering the perception range of hundreds of combat squads... This realm was undoubtedly a real 'Celestial God Karma Position'!

After being silent for a long time, although he had already had an answer in his mind, Dao Sheng still opened his mouth with some difficulty when facing Su Zhou, who had a smiling face: "Professor Su, it's good to see that you're okay... But... where are the enemies? Where are the Tianmo reported by the Yuanwang ship?"

"You're talking about the Tianmo? All of them are dead."

Su Zhou replied happily. Several little foxes had woken up and were now circling around him. Several celestial foxes had transformed back into human form, and cute little boys and girls with fox ears and tails were hiding behind Su Zhou, looking at these strange humans wearing 'Taoist armor' and without ears with some timidity.

"All of them are dead?!"

Noticing the gazes of those Qingqiu children, even Dao Sheng's gaze softened a lot.

His little granddaughter was also exactly this age, and when he thought that many Qingqiu people had been chased by the Tianmo for the past thousand years, even almost exterminating the clan, he felt even more pity for these Qingqiu children.

After all, no matter what, they were all descendants of the Shenzhou civilization. They were not celestial gods, but the remnants of celestial gods left on Earth... In a sense, they and the Qingqiu people were truly compatriots, only one was lucky and received the inheritance, and the other was unfortunate and encountered the Tianmo.

But precisely because of this, he was eager to figure out what was happening on Qingqiu Star now, and Su Zhou's words made the old man feel unbelievable: "What do you mean all of them are dead?!"

"Just the Tianmo – those evil things, the Six Paths Tianmo, were all killed by me."

Finally waiting for reinforcements, but Su Zhou, who was a bit too happy to leave, reached out and touched the head of a Qingqiu girl who was hugging his calf, signaling that she could go play by herself. The young man said in a cheerful tone: "I killed them for five months, almost half a year. Finally, all the Zhenling Ta (Soul-Suppressing Towers) were wiped out more than half a month ago – although I'm not sure if there are any Tianmo bases at the bottom of the sea or at the poles, all the Zhenling Ta on the entire Qingqiu Continent have been wiped out by me."

"Five percent, according to my estimates, at most there are only a little bit of scattered Tianmo left. The main force has been completely wiped out. I looked for a long time and couldn't find any... Look, here is the Qingqiu people's spirit crystal transcription. There are no records in the front, but I recorded the battle process in the back."

Saying so, Su Zhou took out a shiny white crystal from his arms. That was a recording crystal used to record light and shadow, which was the spiritual energy version of a video recorder. He handed it to Dao Sheng, and the other party subconsciously took it.

Silence.

Whether it was Dao Sheng, who lowered his head and stared at the spirit crystal in his hand, or other high-level officials from other countries who had landed on Qingqiu Star, or those commanding personnel who were still on spaceships in the planet's orbit, everyone fell into silence after hearing Su Zhou's reply.

All of them are dead?

That disaster of the Six Paths Tianmo, which was all over the planet and was rumored to have nearly destroyed a country, was actually completely wiped out?

That disaster that made the entire Earth stand in readiness, even unprecedentedly forming a joint fleet and bringing out many divine artifacts and divine weapons to suppress the formation, disappeared like this?

This……

After a long time, Dao Sheng silently put the spirit crystal into his arms. He stroked his beard, coughed, and then looked at Su Zhou, opening his mouth: "Professor Su, you..."

"Yes, I have advanced to Overlord, and I am now in the Earth Immortal realm!"

And relying on the Wu Xiang Zhi Xin (Heart of No Thought), Su Zhou, who could directly know what Dao Sheng was thinking, replied directly the moment the other party's thoughts surged – after holding the Heavenly Soul karma position, his supernatural powers had increased in all aspects, and the law was born as soon as he moved his mind. These supernatural powers and Taoist techniques had already become his instinct.

Replying simply and neatly, Su Zhou's tone carried a trace of emotion: "Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to defeat that Overlord Tianmo – it was really not weak, and it took me a lot of effort. If it wasn't for using the power of the volcanic eruption, I wouldn't even be able to grind it to ashes."

Saying so, Su Zhou clicked his tongue and sighed for a while.

Then there was a long, slightly awkward silence again.

At this moment, facing Su Zhou, who was exuding a sunny and cheerful aura all over his body, whether it was Dao Sheng, Li Sheng, or Liu Li, a big question mark floated in their hearts.

So, the super volcanic eruption dust cloud you saw in outer space orbit was the trace of your battle with the Tianmo?

Were you also the one who blocked the volcanic ash outside the continent?

And, although it had been confirmed before, it was another matter when Su Zhou admitted it himself.

Overlord, Earth Immortal... Real celestial god... This is too fast, isn't it?!

You must know that even they, who had been cultivating for decades before the spiritual energy recovered, had extremely deep foundations and inheritances, and had long known the correct path of cultivation, were only at the beginning of the Commander stage!

Even so, this was considered the first echelon of Earth's transcendents! Most of the strong people in the Sage Seat and the highest levels of transcendent organizations in other countries were basically at this level. They had accumulated decades of foundations, and at the beginning of the spiritual energy recovery, they almost directly rose to the high stage of transcendence. Three years of polishing their foundations was enough for them to take a step further and enter the Human Immortal realm.

The second echelon was a group of veteran cultivators, Sage Seats who did not focus on transcendent cultivation, and the most outstanding geniuses among the new era of cultivators with inheritance before and after the spiritual energy recovery. They had the strength of around the peak of transcendence. For example, Liu Wuxin, Lin Chengde, and Jin Qiong, who was a born divine bird, were in this echelon.

The third echelon was normal geniuses who appeared after the spiritual energy recovered. Anyone who cultivated to the transcendent stage within three years was considered to be among them. Whether they were at the early, middle, or high stage, as long as they reached the peak of transcendence, they were considered to be in this stage. Su Zhou's peers, such as Shao Qiming, Guan Wanjing, Li Yeyu, and Li Hanshan, were the most typical representatives.

As for the fourth and fifth echelons, they were nothing more than excellent people among ordinary people and ordinary people. Some had just entered the transcendent stage, but most were in the awakening stage... And this was the normal cultivation speed of ordinary people. You must know that even after three years of popularizing national cultivation all over the world, there were still many people who remained in the open spirit stage. After all, not everyone had the time to meditate and cultivate every day.

And Su Zhou was different... From the beginning, he was an anomaly among anomalies!

This guy directly broke through the transcendent stage from the very first time he appeared, and then, almost every task he broke through a small stage, or even a big stage - breaking through Commander during the beast god world mission, and breaking through Earth Immortal in this Qingqiu Star mission.

Wouldn't he break through the immortal Celestial Immortal if he came to another mission next time?!

This had already surpassed the first echelon by an entire great realm!

How was this done?

"Maybe it's because I'm more talented."

Regarding the raging waves in Dao Sheng's heart and the slightly trembling fingers, Su Zhou subconsciously humbled himself a little, and then sighed and began to complain: "Alas, although the Tianmo are no longer worth mentioning after I advanced to Overlord, to be honest, those monsters are really as difficult to deal with as cockroaches. There are simply batches of them hidden everywhere..."

"During these five months, I have been sweeping around with the Qingqiu people almost every day. In addition to wiping out the Zhenling Ta, wiping out those scattered Tianmo is also a top priority. After all, most of the Qingqiu shelters are not strong. If the remnants of the Tianmo were to destroy a few shelters after I wiped out most of the Tianmo, wouldn't that be a disgrace among disgraces? I can't afford to lose this person..."

Dao Sheng and his party could only respond with "um" and "ah" to Su Zhou's obvious rambling, which had been pent up for five months and had not communicated with the Earth side for too long, appearing very dazed.

——Five months?

What's there to complain about!

That's the entire planet!

Almost flattening the Tianmo of the entire planet in five months, is this the power of an Earth Immortal?!

"...In short, that's roughly the situation. The situation of the Qingqiu people is still not bad, but it can't be said to be good. They are in urgent need of many basic resources, and their lives are also very difficult after returning to the surface. Many children still can't eat enough."

Saying so, Su Zhou's expression returned to solemnity. He picked up a Qingqiu child who was obviously very thin, and everyone could see that the somewhat nervous fox-eared little girl's face was indeed yellow and her cheeks were a little sunken, with obvious malnutrition.

No longer continuing to exchange pleasantries, after all, these trivial matters could be discussed in detail later anyway, since he had wiped out the Tianmo, boasting could be postponed.
