Chapter 429 Tallying the Harvest, and the Illusion of Destiny (7400, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

"Primordial World?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou couldn't help but take a deep breath. His expression became serious—Yala's words carried a peculiar power that made his mind pause at these four simple words.

Primordial World. That is, a world that has never experienced the severance of spiritual energy, with complete inheritance, and has always been influenced by great existences.

In other words, that world might contain a fully flourishing Central Divine Court where no Immortals or Gods have departed, a fully flourishing Earth God System...or even a group of forces stronger and more terrifying than the entire Earth God System.

Anything is possible.

"Is that... the source of everything?"

In mid-air, Su Zhou said in a deep voice, but for some reason, he revealed a hint of a smile: "The true source?"

"No—not the true source. But at least, it's closer to the source than anything you've experienced."

Yala met Su Zhou's gaze and said meticulously: "Primordial Worlds were originally theoretically impossible to enter. They were each bound by the seals of the great, but since they can reverse the spiritual energy of the entire multiverse, even causing the decline of spiritual energy, it proves that cracks have indeed appeared in those worlds, giving us a way to enter."

Speaking of this, the serpent spirit couldn't help but laugh: "In short, if they can transmit influence and come to Earth, we can also go to their territory and disrupt their territory—robbing the enemy's resources to grow, it couldn't be better."

"You're right."

To this, Su Zhou nodded slightly. He narrowed his eyes, raised his head, and looked at the sky filled with clouds and stars and moon, lost in thought: "Yes, that's right. We can no longer passively wait for other great existences to invade us and mess around in our universe—it's time for us to invade them and mess around in their territory!"

"Haha, that's the spirit!"

The serpent spirit shook its head. Its rhythm was almost like that of a heavy metal rock lead singer, it was clear that He really liked this idea: "This is what we should be doing—after all, you're not a savior, it's time to..."

"No, I am."

Interrupting Yala's words decisively, Su Zhou lowered his eyes. He turned his head to look at the turbulent waves behind him, crashing towards the Qingqiu Continent, and then looked back at the mainland coast. The youth said in a deep voice: "Before looking to the future, we should first finish what we should do—the Earth Immortals and Heavenly Devils were indeed killed by me, but at most I only destroyed the Heavenly Devil Matrix and interrupted the connection between the Qingqiu Heavenly Devils."

"In reality, the countless Spirit Suppression Towers throughout Qingqiu still exist, and there are still Heavenly Devil armies everywhere. I haven't reached the point where I can rest."

Yala heard this and also sensed the surrounding situation.

The situation was indeed as Su Zhou said. In fact, not far away, there was a Heavenly Devil army that was slowly retreating towards the Arctic direction of Qingqiu Star, and there were even more Heavenly Devil forces retreating in the distance. It slightly concentrated its mind: "Then what do you plan to do with these Heavenly Devils now?"

"No plans."

Su Zhou's gaze was indifferent. At this time, he started the Lán Armor Rocket again, transforming into a shooting star, and rushed towards the mainland: "Heavenly Devils can only be killed."

"Whether it's hundreds of millions or billions, I will kill them all."

Slaughter is salvation.

This is also the final mercy that Su Zhou, as the Eater of Evil Demons, can give.

"..."

Hearing this, Yala, coiled around Su Zhou's arm, couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

He realized that during the time He was asleep, Su Zhou's personality seemed to have shifted a lot in some strange direction.

How to say... It was like in the Divine Wood World, Su Zhou easily twisted the idea of 'severing the immortality of Demonic Soldiers' to the point of severing the immortality of all transcendents.

Also, in the Beast God Realm and the Divine Dragon World, even though he sincerely wanted to help others, he insisted that others make wishes to give him a reason to act.

This guy's thinking is really twisted and distorted...

However, precisely because of this, Su Zhou is walking on a completely different path from himself—He is indeed a guy who is good at raising questions, but not because he 'wants to question' or 'deny stagnation,' but because he wants the future to be 'better' than before, so he questions.

[Transcendence]? Or [Ultimate]? No, it doesn't seem like those two fanatics either...

But no matter what, if Su Zhou is allowed to grow wildly like this, then the future will definitely not be a good thing.

—This guy will have big problems if he acts alone for too long.

While Yala was thinking about Su Zhou's future, and Su Zhou was observing the super volcano eruption, he was also thinking about various matters after he advanced to become an Earth Immortal.

Before, in order to kill the Nine-tailed Heavenly Devil who was undergoing transformation, Su Zhou used the essence of the Wisdom Tree to forcefully give wisdom to the opponent and all the surrounding Heavenly Devil clusters, and then used the World Tree Spear to kill them with their own vows, incidentally destroying the entire Heavenly Devil Matrix and detonating the lava reservoir beneath the Heavenly Devil Matrix.

The place where the two major plates overlapped and intersected was the seal of the God of War. Su Zhou could see that there was a vaguely powerful force at the bottom of the super volcano, and although the super volcano was detonated by him, it did not trigger more chain volcanic eruptions, precisely because that force not only smoothed the conflict between the plate overlaps, but also suppressed other geological changes.

This is also why Su Zhou dared to attack—compared to a planetary array that uses continental plates as the sealing foundation, the eruption of a super volcano is not important at all... If the plates are like a human face, then the super volcano is just a blackhead, squeezing it out may cause bleeding, but that's all.

The God of War's seal, although it has become somewhat unstable under the long years and the Heavenly Devil's erosion, at least has not been completely eroded.

"Alas, the mess left behind by the Immortals and Gods is too much."

Thinking of this, Su Zhou couldn't help but sigh—besides the aliens and the Life Tree of the Beast God Realm, a Celestial Venerable-level figure who was sealed has appeared here again. If He is really unsealed, Su Zhou can't think of how to deal with it...

But no matter what, he has already advanced to the Overlord realm by virtue of the 'Path of Nature'. Just like the former Dragon King of Tianchi, he has achieved the 'Earth Immortal status'. If he follows the standards of the old Immortals and Gods, he is considered to have completed his ascension and has the qualifications to participate in the Kunlun Peach Banquet and the Divine Court Myriad Immortals Banquet.

After becoming an Earth Immortal, Su Zhou felt that his abilities in terms of divine powers and soul had greatly increased, and many new abilities had emerged.

For example, the current Su Zhou can grant others the power of his own divine powers, allowing them to temporarily possess abilities related to the Eater of Evil Demons.

Or rather, let them become his agents.

This is also a symbolic ability of Immortals and Gods—They can hide their power in the bodies of their younger disciples, exerting their effects at necessary moments to protect their disciples, or allowing their disciples to temporarily learn some powerful divine abilities, allowing them to learn this power through personal experience.

Immortals can grant inheritance, Gods can grant divine arts, and Overlords can use this to become high-ranking individuals in the true sense. This is the origin of the names of these realms.

"How does it sound a bit like a Demon King and his Four Heavenly Kings?"

Sensing the 'Heavenly Soul' in his body, which had already condensed into a ball of purplish-blue light, incomparably solid and firm, Su Zhou suddenly had an understanding.

His Heavenly Soul status, in the final analysis, is his soul, completely transformed into an aggregate of divine powers such as the Eater of Evil Demons.

The human soul, in essence, is a semi-solidified spiritual energy aggregate that spontaneously condenses from human thought in a high spiritual energy environment. With it, one can accelerate the speed of thinking. Without it, one can still live, after all, humans have the brain as a thinking organ, and the soul is just the icing on the cake.

But when one reaches the transcendent level, the soul can roughly exist independently of the body. Practitioners of the Immortal Spiritual Path will even completely abandon the body and become spiritual beings. The divine powers of the Overlord level will strengthen the body in part and strengthen the soul in part, imprinting certain powerful spells and abilities in the soul.

But when one reaches the Overlord level, with the 'Heavenly Soul status', everything undergoes an essential sublimation—if the previous divine powers were like him learning how to light a fire and then using the flame to attack the enemy, then now, he is the flame.

What does this mean? It means that if Su Zhou grants others the divine power of the Eater of Evil Demons, then Su Zhou will not truly die before that person dies, or before the divine power of the Eater of Evil Demons dissipates—even if his main body is destroyed, he can rely on the 'divine power' on others to make a comeback once again.

No need to seize the body, because he is the Eater of Evil Demons. As long as this divine power, personally granted and taught by Su Zhou, still exists in this world, then Su Zhou can hardly be truly killed.

Of course, the requirements for this are also very high. First of all, the aptitude of the person granted the divine power must be very good, and secondly, they must trust Su Zhou very much, and be able to accept Su Zhou's beliefs, values, and rules... This is basically the condition of a successor, the level of a disciple who has been taught.

Naturally, if the user has any insights from using the divine power granted by Su Zhou, then Su Zhou can quickly analyze those insights.

"No wonder the ancient Immortals and Gods needed to 'attack mountains, destroy temples, and exterminate lineages' during their battles, and to eliminate a powerful Immortal or God, it was necessary to first annihilate his disciples... Otherwise, the other party would eventually make a comeback!"

Su Zhou suddenly realized that this is the special feature of the Heavenly Soul status—compared to the Path of Life, the Path of Law, and the Path of Spirit, which are three powerful battle forces, the Path of Nature, in addition to strengthening divine powers, does not have any special features, but it is extremely difficult to deal with and extremely difficult to wear down.

Of course, this is not to say that other paths do not have life-saving methods: the Path of Life may only need to strip off a small part of its flesh and blood as a backup for resurrection, and synchronize memories from time to time to ensure the foundation of resurrection; the Path of Spirit is the same in terms of spiritual power structure, after all, who doesn't have a few life-saving methods when they reach the realm of Immortals and Gods?

The special features of the Heavenly Soul status are many. In addition to this, its strength, which is at least a million times stronger than that of ordinary people's souls, allows Su Zhou to be almost immune to most soul attacks, and the Heavenly Soul, which integrates all of Su Zhou's divine powers, also allows him to perform various powerful spells instinctively, and his reaction speed and combat rhythm are more than one level higher.

But besides this, Su Zhou's gains in other aspects are also not small.

For example, talents such as Lán Armor and Water Aid have been strengthened as the power of the soul has been strengthened.

Now, Su Zhou completely understands the essence of divine power composition—just like the three attributes of 'Profound Yin,' 'Nether Earth,' and 'Yin Soul' can form the 'Little Red Lotus Hell' divine power, Wind Aid and Water Aid are equivalent to some 'attributes' that some divine beasts and dragons are born with, allowing these powerful creatures to develop the divine powers they want after birth, according to their own wishes.

It can be riding the wind and driving the fog for movement, or it can be a sudden change of wind and cloud for attack, or it can be a common celestial phenomenon such as calling the wind and summoning rain... Anything is possible.

Wind Aid has now become Su Zhou's instinct along with Lán Armor. It can now be completely said to be an advanced divine power or inheritance called 'Great Circulation Lán Armor.' There is no problem in cultivating it to the Overlord level.

As for Water Aid, because Su Zhou did not deliberately cultivate it, but only strengthened it with the power of the Water God, it is still in a primitive state in this regard, and it can be considered to completely sublimate it together with the 'Míngxìng Transformation Dragon Path' in the future.

This is in terms of divine powers, and in terms of weapons, the World Tree Spear and the Blade of Annihilation have changes of different levels.

The World Tree Spear is a divine spear made from the branches of the World Tree and given by the Europa Union. Because Su Zhou obtained it later, it did not awaken its spiritual intelligence like the Blade of Annihilation.

But this time, Su Zhou used it as the core, condensed the wisdom-opening power of the Wisdom Tree, and condensed the vows of countless Heavenly Devils to temper it inside and out. The powers of the two different divine trees have also been somewhat integrated... Su Zhou doesn't know what will change, but there is no doubt that it is only a matter of time before it gives birth to its own intelligence.

As for the Blade of Annihilation, it resonated with the righteous national and popular vows of the Scarlet Firmament Sword Qi and produced some mysterious reactions. Its blade spirit seemed to have some feelings, but even when Su Zhou stroked the blade and asked, it couldn't say it itself, only a feeling of 'very grand'.

It has indeed become stronger, but it doesn't know why. Su Zhou plans to study it carefully after a while.

In addition to this, there is also the Wisdom Tree.

Before, the Wisdom Tree shared the Heavenly Devil souls in the Spirit Suppression Tower with Su Zhou, and then it burst out with all its strength to provide Su Zhou with wisdom light, allowing the Heavenly Devils to be enlightened—it must be said that it made a great contribution, and it also consumed a lot. Fortunately, the Wisdom Tree was much stronger after its last sublimation. Although this consumption made it a little wilted, it did not fall into a deep sleep.

Perceiving the somewhat wilted appearance of the divine tree in the personal space, Su Zhou couldn't help but feel a little distressed: "If you want anything, tell me—Qingqiu Star doesn't have anything you need this time. You've really worked hard."

"Want, soil..." At this time, although the Wisdom Tree was weak, and its voice was not so imposing, it was somewhat invigorated when it heard Su Zhou's promise, shaking its branches and causing the countless Heavenly Devil souls hanging on it to sway: "Want good soil, good water!"

When converted to humans, this is actually just the ordinary desire to eat something good and change living conditions. It's very humble.

"No problem!"

How could Su Zhou not agree to such a small matter? He immediately made up his mind to see if there was any special soil on Earth after returning to Earth. If that didn't work, he would go to another world to find it.

At this moment, Su Zhou was about to arrive at the coast of the Qingqiu Continent.

He had already seen the battlefield ruins produced by his battle with the Heavenly Devil army.

But at this time, Su Zhou stopped.

He turned around and looked at the sea behind him.

The night was gradually receding, and behind the continental mountains on the east side, the sun was slowly emerging from the mountains, and the疾风 (jí fēng - gale) swept through, causing the dark clouds in the sky to gradually dissipate.

However, in the distance, there was a haze that was even darker and thicker than the dark clouds.

That was the smoke from the super volcano eruption. What will reach the mainland faster than it is a cataclysmic tsunami.

Fortunately, all the Qingqiu people hid in the deep mountains and old forests with extremely high terrain to avoid the Heavenly Devils, and it was impossible to stay in the coastal areas. Otherwise, if Su Zhou struck down like that, although the Heavenly Devil Matrix would be destroyed, and the Spirit Suppression Tower on the northwest coast would be destroyed, a large group of Qingqiu people would also die.

"Your Honor?!"

At this time, Su Zhou heard a surprised cry from the side. He knew that it was Gu Zechuan's voice. The white fox youth seemed to be preparing to go deep into the sea to observe the situation, but noticed the anomaly of Su Zhou's flight, so he turned back.

He also noticed the unusual celestial phenomenon in the distance—although the Qingqiu people had not lived on the coast for hundreds or thousands of years, they at least knew what natural disasters were.

"That, that is your battle with the Heavenly Devils..."

Gu Zechuan, who was approaching in a hurry, came to Su Zhou's side. In this instant, he suddenly realized that the aura of this seemingly young Honor had become more ethereal and unpredictable, like a heavenly威 (wēi - might) that could not be estimated... That was a威势 (wēi shì - imposing manner) that was far more powerful than the so-called peak of Human Immortal.

This is the威势 (wēi shì - imposing manner) belonging to the Earth Immortal, a true Immortal and God!

But even so, because of Su Zhou's previous teachings, he did not kneel down like a conditioned reflex, like the conditioned reflex engraved in the bones of most Qingqiu people towards 'Immortals and Gods'—this Qingqiu people was indeed terrified, but he gave up all the nonsense in the first moment, and directly asked: "Your Honor, you have won—what should we do next? Do I need to notify the other compatriots and discuss the next actions again?"

Speaking of the latter, his tone became faintly狂热 (kuáng rè - fanatical)... Yes, the Heavenly Devils have already withdrawn their troops, they have given up their active attacks, so can it be said that...

"Yes."

Before Gu Zechuan could continue to think, Su Zhou's calm voice sounded in his ears: "This is exactly what I want you to do."

"Go and gather, Gu Zechuan, gather all the Qingqiu people you can gather."

Saying so, Su Zhou's human body slowly lit up with a burst of light—and after the dazzling halo and huge changes in air flow, an incomparably huge Zhúzhōu (Torch Dragon) dragon, with an incomparably bright cyan-purple soul orb on its head, appeared between heaven and earth.

The sun was gradually rising, and the clouds cracked, revealing gaps. As the sunlight gradually spread across the earth, this round of cyan-purple spiritual light had illuminated half of the northwest coast, and the giant dragon was high in the sea and sky, like a mountain floating in the air, topped with the blazing sun.

The giant dragon was so large that Gu Zechuan was already at the tip of this behemoth's finger when he discovered it. When the Divine Dragon raised him to a place level with his own eyes, he found that he was already in the clouds, and above his head were the within-reach dark clouds and thunder.

Su Zhou said lightly: "From now on, the Qingqiu people should take back their homes—under my protection, and in your own struggles."

"Do not fear death, for I will be with you."

Su Zhou can indeed kill all the Heavenly Devils completely by himself.

Putting aside everything else, with his Overlord-level true form, even if he doesn't use any skills, he can directly destroy a city by colliding with all his strength.

But he will not do this.

Because salvation is not alms. Heaven helps those who help themselves—the one being helped should also work hard and make a contribution to his own liberation.

Complete giving, on the contrary, is a kind of hatred—yes, Su Zhou came here because of the Scarlet Firmament Sword's warning, to help the Qingqiu people out of their predicament, but now, the Nine-tailed Heavenly Devil, the Primordial Corruptor, the most powerful and difficult to defeat enemy, has been killed by him, so the remaining Heavenly Devil forces must also pay a little sacrifice for their own future.

It sounds very condescending, and regards human life as nothing... but the things that are obtained without bloodshed, the Qingqiu people will not cherish.

What's more, they may also want to do it themselves and avenge their suffering in the past thousand years.

And the fact is indeed the case.

"Yes! Your Honor!"

Hearing Su Zhou's words, Gu Zechuan was so excited that he could not control himself. He could not wait to set off immediately and find the Gu family members who had already set off for other Qingqiu shelters—after a long period of darkness, Su Zhou's arrival was like a ray of dawn in the darkness, and now, this ray of dawn has already risen and turned into a bright sun... and now, he is actually willing to fight side by side with the Qingqiu people!

What else is there to ask for?

After all, if one can see hope, then no one will fear sacrifice.

What's more...

Transformed into a dragon body, which can better show the body of his Overlord power, Su Zhou nodded slightly as he stared at the Qingqiu people in front of him who made a decision without any hesitation.

It is also impossible for him to really let the Qingqiu people die... Indeed, the Soul Abyss Server is now on the Far望 (Yuǎnwàng - Distant View) ship, and is now estimated to have left for the Qingqiu Five Upper Time-Space Gate—regardless of whether Su Zhou has been helped by their assistance, the Far望 (Yuǎnwàng - Distant View) ship will leave to avoid being caught up by the enemy in the outer orbit because it did not leave in time.

But, after advancing to the Heavenly Soul status, what is so difficult for Su Zhou to create a Soul Abyss Server himself?

He could see that Su Zhou's dazzling Heavenly Soul was now emitting spiritual light. It stirred up a huge spiritual energy vortex in the air, and the invisible fluctuations caused the coastal area, which had already begun to surge, to gradually become calm—and in addition to this most basic calling wind and summoning rain divine power, another extremely complicated and extremely declarative spiritual pattern structure was being engraved and formed in this Heavenly Soul.

That is the structure belonging to the Soul Abyss Server—the structure of the electronic underworld.

Su Zhou directly replicated an electronic underworld in his soul!

From then on, all souls who died under his spiritual light will be included in the electronic underworld and become heroic models for the Qingqiu people to fight against fate and resist the Heavenly Devils!

"Let's go."

Putting down Gu Zechuan on his fingertip, Su Zhou flapped his wings and flew towards the deep mountains of the Qingqiu Continent, causing the white fox youth to immediately control his Dao armor and hurriedly follow: "Let us burn all the Heavenly Devils to ashes."

——That is a story recorded in history by all the Qingqiu people.

In ancient times, evil spirits were rampant, the king was killed by evil rebels, and the country was divided. In the era when the connection between heaven and earth was severed, the Qingqiu people were forced to move away from their homes, hide in the deep mountains and old forests, and endure repeated attacks from the Heavenly Devils.

Darkness covered the sky and the earth, and the sunshine decreased day by day. The children who used to chase each other in the sun can only live in the ground, eating earthworms and mushrooms.

The Qingqiu people thought they would never see the light of day again.

However, one day, a great star fell from the sky, and an envoy from the ancient Divine Court came to this world.

Since then, everything has been changed.

The dark haze receded, the Heavenly Devil's nest was destroyed, and under the leadership of the powerful Dragon God, the Qingqiu people, who could no longer endure this suffering, once again raised their weapons and launched a final counterattack against the Heavenly Devils for the last time.

For the happy and hopeful future of their children, to avenge those relatives and friends who had already died, to be able to see the sun tomorrow, and for more and more insignificant but extremely important reasons, the Qingqiu people were willing to bleed, fight, and break the shackles for hope.

And the Dragon God was with them, and all those who died fighting the Heavenly Devils would be sent by him to the underworld, waiting for the final reward.

"Zhúzhōu (Torch Dragon)!"

They respectfully called the name of the Dragon God in this way, and planned to carve stone sculptures as objects of worship, but were rejected by the other party.

"You should not worship idols—I am here to help you because you are humans, and we are compatriots."

The Dragon God said so, He admitted that He did have great achievements, but denied all other motives: "If the Qingqiu people had not continuously resisted for thousands of years, how could they have waited for reinforcements? Before thanking me, you should thank yourselves for never giving up."

That's what He said.

But even so, this name is still sung in all the Qingqiu shelters.

Another day of battle—under the leadership of Gu Zechuan and a group of vanguard members, all the Spirit Suppression Towers in the southwestern part of the Qingqiu Continent had been wiped out, and they had begun to spread to other directions of the Qingqiu Continent, and received the support of almost all Qingqiu shelters along the way.

Gradually, gradually, because the Heavenly Devil Matrix was pulled out, and one Spirit Suppression Tower after another was destroyed, the strength of the Heavenly Devils became weaker and weaker, and the well-tested Qingqiu elites became stronger and stronger.

From the original requirement for the Dragon God to take action to eliminate a batch of powerful Overlord-level Heavenly Devils, it has now become a situation where the Dragon God only needs to supervise the battle, and the Qingqiu people themselves can defeat the Heavenly Devil forces and win the battle.

And the Dragon God watched all this, and nodded secretly in his heart.

"All this is good."

January 26, 2018.

Three months after Su Zhou defeated the Nine-tailed Heavenly Devil.

Today is another great victory—now most of the Heavenly Devil fortresses on the entire Qingqiu Star have begun to weaken, and in addition to the northwest region, the Spirit Suppression Towers in the southwest and southern regions have also been removed by the joint forces of the Qingqiu shelters.

The joint army composed of many shelters would have internal friction due to internal struggles, but because the Dragon God was there, Su Zhou's existence made all those who wanted to take shortcuts tremble and could only correct their mentality.

At this time, it was midnight in the southern part of Qingqiu Star, among the mountains.

In the fortress camp temporarily built by the Qingqiu people, the lights were bright, and teams of energetic Heavenly Fox cultivators were patrolling the camp—although the Heavenly Devils had not actively attacked the camp for a long time, they would not slack off in this regard, even if it was to show their spirit and efforts in front of the Dragon God.

But today, it was a little different.

Su Zhou, who had always been extremely awake except when he entered concentration during cultivation, was now caught in a inexplicable dream.

It was not because of fatigue, nor was it because he had fallen into deep thought. He was extremely awake, but his spirit unknowingly fell into a hazy illusion.

In the hazy dream, boundless fog rose in the endless gray-black plain, covering the entire sky and earth.

And in this plain, a nether voice sounded, as if it were murmuring, stirring up the undulating waves in the sea of fog.

Similarly, it also stirred up the illusion originating from 'Destiny'.

——In the soul space.

In the pitch-black evil soul, the brilliance originating from the ancient other side was flickering.

Okay, the update is gradually recovering——seeking a monthly ticket!
