Chapter 310 That "Only I Can't Do It" Atmosphere (7200, Seeking Monthly Tickets~)

For Su Zhou, who held the Celestial God imprint, the leader of the Spirit Descent Society, who held the aura of many great existences and transformed himself into a 'fiend,' was simply a group-buying gift package.

Not to mention the 'Lonely Lord World' from the Shepherd he had already visited, Su Zhou also obtained the auras of four other valuable great existences during this Beast World domain action.

Among them, the first was the 'Nirvana Lord' from the Reborn. The Nirvana Lord also had another name: the well-known 'Phoenix,' the source of all avian divine birds, and also an old acquaintance of Yala.

However, let's not talk about the Reborn himself being burned by karma fire more than ten thousand times, with his soul incomplete and unable to extract the aura of a great existence. Even if he obtained the complete aura, Su Zhou wouldn't plan to go to that hellish place.

"Why would I, with my good Dragon-Serpent bloodline, go to the territory of divine birds? If a Golden-Winged Great Peng of the Immortal God level pops out and eats me, what can I do?"

At that time, Su Zhou said resolutely, "Not all divine birds are like that little girl Jin Qiong, gentle, kind, and understanding."

Secondly, there was the Spirit Caller. The Celestial God inheritance he obtained seemed to be called 'The Heavenly Principles.' This was a bit difficult to understand, and Yala didn't explain the essence of this great existence.

Since even the essence was unclear, Su Zhou naturally wouldn't go exploring in the dark in a place where the fog of war hadn't been lifted.

Next was the Manipulator, that unlucky woman who tried to curse Su Zhou, but was backlashed and lost her life in confusion. What she left behind was the inheritance of a great existence called the 'Fate Pusher'... This thing, as the name implies, sounded very dangerous. Moreover, the other party was obviously the type with a strong desire for control, definitely not as easy to talk to as the Lonely Lord and the Divine Tree.

Su Zhou didn't want to run to another place to be someone else's toy. Furthermore, Yala's attitude toward this person didn't seem very good, so naturally, it was impossible to go.

The last one was the Exchanger. The Celestial God inheritance this friend held, left behind the information of a great existence that, according to Yala, was considered kind—even kinder than the Lonely Lord, or rather, basically had no subjective attitude.

And its title in the Spirit Descent Society was 'Scales of Truth' or 'Lord of Balance'.

'Strange, why is this guy also sealed?' That was Yala's evaluation. According to it, it could understand that others were sealed like it, but even the 'Scales of Balance,' a 'common sense' that was basically universal in all worlds, was sealed. This was simply abnormal.

"It is equivalent exchange, even the arbiter of all sacrificial rituals." At that time, Yala was so puzzled that it almost twisted its tail into a braid. It lay on Su Zhou's head, unable to figure it out. "Could it be that the act of sacrifice itself has already deteriorated to this point?"

"But that's also true. After all, blood sacrifices, human sacrifices, and even various evil sacrifices are also equivalent exchange... This kind of thing, although it has nothing to do with good or evil, provides the user with a channel to carry out atrocities or good deeds."

In short, apart from the Reincarnation World he had already visited, the Twilight World originating from the Twilight True Devil and the Silent One, the Divine Tree World from the Planter, which was currently integrating itself into the dark forest of the Beast World domain, and though equivalent to being dead, was actually not dead, and the World of the Scales of Balance, was worth visiting.

But in the end, Su Zhou had already gotten past the time when he needed resources and technology the most.

Ordinary people cannot completely control their bodies. Let alone controlling the lifting and lowering of fingers at will, or controlling the eyeballs to rotate in different directions, a considerable number of ordinary people even find it difficult to distinguish between left and right in a short period of time.

They need a long time to cultivate and learn various techniques.

But for Transcendent-stage cultivators, their bodies can be completely controlled. Humans hone their martial skills, hone the body's instinctive reactions, and train the acquired techniques. In essence, they use the least amount of strength to exert the greatest destructive power in the fastest and best possible way.

However, for Transcendent-stage cultivators, after fully mastering their spiritual power-transformed bodies, the most time-consuming aspect of martial skills, namely, honing the body's instincts, can be actively 'learned.' They only need to learn the techniques in a martial skill, and after understanding the muscle movements and spiritual power operation methods of the enemy's martial skill, they can perfectly reproduce it.

After all, in the final analysis, no matter how profound martial skills and magic are, as long as they don't involve overly complex spiritual power operations, rune structures, and special mental cultivation methods, they can be analyzed at a glance by the Transcendent-stage who have complete control over their bodies.

Of course, in terms of proficiency, application skills, and the form honed over a long period of time, they are definitely not as good as the original owner, but if even the skills are fully known, Transcendent-stage cultivators can quickly improve their proficiency.

Therefore, the original Su Zhou could directly learn the earth and water magic used for healing in the Reincarnation World simply by observing with Spiritual Vision. For him now, who has already been promoted to the Overlord Stage, most of the techniques in the mortal world are things he can understand at a glance, and the energy that resources can provide is not even as good as taking a deep breath in a spiritual energy-rich place.

"I already have near-god power—above that is Immortal God."

In the teahouse, Su Zhou said this, flexing his fingers casually. Although it was impossible to see with the naked eye, it was clear that the joints in those fingers definitely exceeded eight segments—they were even made of some special flexible material, both flexible and tough: "Ordinary worlds are unlikely to give me any gains. The martial skills and spells within, I can write myself at a low level, and the difficulty of obtaining them at a high level is bound to be not small, and may even be non-existent."

"In the final analysis, most human martial skills are techniques written for the 'bodies of ordinary humans,' and for existences above the Transcendent stage, the limitations are too great—just like joint skills can lock humans, but cannot lock 'Transcendent Ones' who can transform, shrink, enlarge, or even turn into fluid gases, or even elementals."

"On the other hand, the physical structure of spirit beasts and divine beasts is one of the 'powers' that I can easily imitate and obtain. And Yala's world should be a world of dragons and snakes, right? There, I can disguise myself as an ordinary dragon species, hunt the bloodlines I need, analyze their strengths and weaknesses, and enhance my true body. I can even optimize my human body."

This was the reason why Su Zhou chose to use himself as a beacon to go to Yala's world.

It must be said that this reason was very sufficient and reasonable, and no one could refute it. Shao Qiming sat aside drinking tea.

"What are you thinking, kid!"

But Yala, who wasn't human, was wary: "It's fine for you to cause trouble at Divine Tree and Lonely Lord's place, but why do you want to cause trouble for me? Besides, I've already run out, and it doesn't affect the Great Seal... You still want me to go back?!"

"To be honest, I can get the most gains by going to the place I understand the most!"

In response, although he knew that this might not be emotionally appropriate, Su Zhou still argued reasonably: "It's like a novelist entering the world he wrote. You must know a lot of opportunities and cheat codes, right? Although I may not use them, they can definitely enrich my database and prepare me for reaching the next level!"

"That's not necessarily true."

The serpent spirit suddenly calmed down: "The projections of great existences don't only descend into one world. If you connect with yourself, you will definitely be able to go to a world related to me, and that world will also definitely have my projection—but the me that is currently sealed may not know what that world is like."

"Just like the Lonely Lord, do you think he only has projections in the Reincarnation Century? That's just the world that the Shepherd connected to with this little guy, so you were guided there... Wherever there is reincarnation, there is its shadow."

Yala's meaning wasn't actually to refuse Su Zhou from going to its territory... It couldn't even be considered its territory, after all, it was still sealed.

What it was worried about was another issue.

"The connection between me and my main body was actually severed when I was on Earth."

The serpent spirit soaked in the teacup. It was now a Bloodslime Mimic, so it absorbed the tea liquid with its body to enjoy it: "Unlike other great existences, after knowing that a part of me has escaped the seal, I naturally won't be too bitter and resentful, or even want to do anything big... In other words, I don't even know what kind of influence I, according to my own personality, will have on a world when there is no pressure."

"Is it a good thing or a bad thing?"

Su Zhou asked quite cautiously at an elementary school level, and Yala patiently replied: "It must be at least what I think is good—you see, I haven't done anything bad so far, right? But I don't know what the good that I think is good is like for humans."

"After all, Yala, besides being the origin of dragons and snakes, seems to be the origin of devils... This will definitely be alarming."

Su Zhou understood. There was no distinction between good and bad in this world. Just like the Lonely Lord's love was so cruel to humans entangled in one reincarnation, what Yala thought was good might be some strange torture for Earth humans: "Especially since I use myself as a beacon—what kind of person am I? I think that a world full of devils is not impossible compared to a world of dragons and snakes."

"That's true..."

Hearing this, even Yala was quite touched: "This point really needs to be worried about."

At this time, Shao Qiming, who was drinking tea on the side, was a little puzzled: "Strange, wouldn't it be great if the whole world was like A'Zhou?"

But speaking of this, Yala also realized some of Su Zhou's misunderstandings about itself—it could clearly know from Su Zhou's slightly frowned expression that he was very sensitive to the other part of himself called 'devil' besides the blood of dragons and snakes.

After all, the blood of Yala was not purely the blood of dragons and snakes.

"Su Zhou, do you think that the instinct of 'devils' is simply to do evil?"

"Isn't it?" Su Zhou blinked. He paused for a moment, and then continued: "Although it's not necessarily simply to do evil... but to be called a devil, it must not be good. After all, this name can actually explain something."

Realizing that Su Zhou's view of devils seemed to hold great prejudice and malice, Yala became serious and earnestly said to the other party: "Devils are not so low-down, just like the Twilight that insists on destroying everything."

Saying this, it emphasized: "The essence of devils—is to question the 'current' order."

"The order of the gods—question it—induce people to overthrow it."

"The order of humans—question it—induce others to overthrow it."

"This is the most essential instinct of all devils, and their natural duty. If you say this is a 'bad thing,' then yes, that is undeniable, but if there is no 'devil' in a civilization, it cannot continue to develop."

Hearing this, Shao Qiming, who was also listening quietly, had a slight change in his expression. He said, "If compared... how is it a bit like progressive people?"

"You say this is progress? No, young man, you are also biased."

Hearing Shao Qiming's words, Yala also shook its head. It wasn't trying to whitewash devils, but to explain the essence of this existence: "Devils don't care whether the order it questions becomes better or worse, whether it is advancing or retreating. Progress is not within the scope of a devil's consideration."

"It is simply questioning, inducing, and opposing everything that exists—even in a utopia, in a paradise of gods, in the absence of any reason to resist, it can find reasons for dissatisfaction, opposition, and resistance."

——That which creates great change is questioning and resistance, which can be regarded as the greatest initial driving force.

——Revolving in endless time, looking forward to all the meaningless, looking forward to all the meaningful.

——Looking forward to all people, and everything they want to do.

'Devil,' the serpent that tempted people to eat the fruit of distinguishing good and evil, is the existence that creates change, making all stories, from the very beginning, the most stable, the most perfect, but also the most boring, the most stagnant paradise of God, happen on the world.

Change has no good or bad.

It hoped that Su Zhou could understand this concept, understand this essence more deeply, and then discover more and better the power in his heart.

"What a hard-liner."

But Su Zhou's evaluation was very simple. After listening to all this, he clicked his tongue: "When you said it at the beginning, I didn't have too deep feelings, but now that you say it, this is simply the number one super debater, right? No wonder all intelligent beings in the worlds think that devils are evil..."

"That's all you feel?"

Yala was heartbroken, feeling that it was so unteachable: "At least say a few more words!"

And Shao Qiming thought in his heart: "As expected of A'Zhou, the summary is really in place."

"Actually, there are a lot of feelings, but now is not the time to say these things."

In response, Su Zhou just smiled and stood up: "After all, whether it's the world of dragons and snakes or the world of devils, the more you say it, the more interested I become—I haven't changed my mind. On the contrary, I'm looking forward to it even more."

Then, he raised his head and looked out the window. Su Zhou's Spiritual Vision penetrated the sky and looked directly at the endless cracks above the high heavens.

"Every great existence represents a unique logic, a unique thought, and even a unique world structure... Although I have only been to two worlds, I have deeply understood the logic of the Great Dao Tree and the Lonely Lord, and their 'love.' Even if I don't agree with their ideas, I can already understand them. In this way, whether I agree or disagree, I can go on more firmly."

With his back to Yala and Shao Qiming, Su Zhou narrowed his eyes, staring directly at the gradually setting sun. Under the urging of spiritual power, his vision began to expand, and a wider spectrum, and even spiritual power lines, were all incorporated into his visual perception system.

The world in the eyes of humans seems to be colorful, but in reality, compared to the real world, it is as monotonous as white paper. Just like a mountain is not just the surface soil and forest, it has a larger foundation and origin.

And the thinking of life is the same—whether it is a human or a snake.

Su Zhou's vision surpassed the glass, the clouds, and the dust in the atmosphere.

He directly saw the firmament of the universe, the radiation field outside the atmosphere, and the endless cracks hanging in an unknown place.

Looking at all this, Su Zhou said calmly: "You are the same, Yala. We have walked together for so long, but until now, I still don't really understand you—your thoughts, your plans, your schemes, the future you want and the appearance of the world, I don't know at all. You tell me everything you know, and you say everything you can, but in reality, that is just pure knowledge and advice. You are like an encyclopedia, telling me knowledge, but without expressing your true intentions and way of thinking."

"That's not enough. You made a covenant with me, and you are with me. Although I don't believe in you, and you are not my god, but you teach me knowledge, I shouldn't know nothing about you."

Turning his head, Su Zhou had his back to the halo of the setting sun. One side of his face was illuminated by the dim orange-red light. The young man said with a smile: "So, I want to understand you more deeply, Yala. In this way, we can go further."

Su Zhou has always been too lazy to hide his thoughts. This was the real reason why he wanted to go to Yala's world.

Having reached the Overlord stage, the last step before the Immortal God, he was no longer as influential on the world as he used to be. After he advanced to the Hegemon, it would not be impossible to save the world, destroy the world, or change the world.

At that time, his handling speed of the world after the Great Seal, and the projections of great existences, would definitely be even higher, and he could truly add his own strength to the reconstruction of the Great Seal.

And when that time came, once he chose a path, he couldn't turn back. Just like he said before, whether he agreed or disagreed, only after understanding could he go on more firmly.

To Su Zhou's answer, Yala nodded slightly. It even laughed, without the anger of being questioned, only joy.

"Yes, that's the kind of questioning."

The serpent said, "That's how it should be."

"But don't forget, you are not me, and you don't need to be me. Just like you said, I teach you, and you are my student."

"Of course."

This was a short and powerful response.

And Shao Qiming, who was watching everything, sat aside, drank all the tea in the teapot, and a big question mark popped up in his heart.

"What's going on, this atmosphere where only I can't do it..."

September 25, 2016. Su Zhou's birthday passed in peace.

And on this day, late at night, a message thrown out on the Internet by a well-known Weibo big V, and the news jointly released by the Zheng Nation Aerospace Administration, broke the tranquility of the night.

[You look at the dense, twinkling stars on a clear night, and you have a sense of unattainable disappointment. Are we really so pathetic? No, absolutely not! We must conquer the universe.]

When the quote from a well-known founder of the Zheng Nation aviation industry, certified by Su Zhou's official Weibo, was issued, everyone was still confused, not knowing why this recently quite active world police, famous judge, and underground illegal Transcendent killer would inexplicably send such a message.

But soon, with the subsequent publication of the Aerospace Administration's 'Transcendent Lunar Landing Plan' and the subsequent '5-Year Lunar Base Construction Plan,' everyone knew the meaning of the information Su Zhou had previously published, and also keenly realized that the one carrying out this exploration plan was not the Aerospace Administration, but a strange new department called the 'New World Exploration Department.'

And the minister of this new department was none other than the familiar Su Zhou.

For a time, public opinion was detonated, and almost everyone's eyes were attracted to this aspect. Countless enthusiastic discussions and questions never stopped.

[Do you think this is okay?]

In the network world, the data body of Yan Sheng asked his friend on the distant other side lightly: [Military Sage, Dao Sage, and Agricultural Sage, the three major factions, even if they join forces to support Su Zhou, strongly support the lunar landing plan, and even engage in some flashy lunar base construction, they are unwilling to approve your experimental funds, let alone agree to your human experiments... How does it feel to be forcibly ignored like this?]

"I'm used to it. Besides, it's not a bad thing. At least we do need the information on alien spaceships on the moon. After all, not all spaceships are mechanical creations, and many are biological materials."

Soon, such a data stream came from the secret base on the other side, and the originator of the data stream, Sheng Sheng, replied calmly: "Aren't you the same? Although the funds for your electronic underworld have been approved, there is no publicity, and you are not allowed to carry out any activities... Aren't every reform that our technical factions require always firmly suppressed, and only approved after a long period of deliberation?"

[Because we are indeed challenging the existing order. The existence of our technology itself is a questioning and challenge to all ethics, all rules, and all social order in today's human society. Whether it is my project or your achievements, if they are taken out, they will inevitably cause huge social reforms—and this reform, I don't know whether it is good or bad, and will even inevitably cause huge turmoil.]

The electronic underworld requires data to record all the memories and information of a person, so that a dead person can live forever as a ghost in the electronic underworld—or even return to the world through some mechanical or artificial flesh prostheses, 'reviving' in the present world.

However, what Yan Sheng wanted was not just these—because it is impossible to determine whether pure information is still a person or not. What he wanted to do was to allow those ghosts to also have souls... Or rather, he wanted to find a way that would allow people to directly electronicize their souls after death without having to cultivate, and enter the server.

That is, to conquer death in some sense.

And this, without a doubt, like the human experiments presided over by Sheng Sheng, requires a large number of human souls to experiment with—he himself doesn't count, because Yan Sheng has always been cultivating in this direction, and his data cannot be used as a reference at all.

The Thirty-Six Sages Committee approved Yan Sheng's funds and projects, but did not allow him to look for unqualified experimental subjects, using this gentle method to slow down his experimental progress.

In the final analysis... whether it is the recording of memories, the manipulation of souls, the experiments on life, or even the contempt for death, they are all huge challenges to human ethics today.

After all, human society is based on the condition that 'people will die one day,' and the electronic underworld is challenging the majesty of death.

Therefore, Yan Sheng could understand and tolerate the prudence of the Sages.

[So I'm not in a hurry—I'm already an immortal data body, or rather, just an electronic ghost. And your Bai Ze bloodline, with spiritual energy, living for thousands of years shouldn't be a problem, right?]

"Yes." Sheng Sheng said indifferently: "So I rarely rush, unless they don't approve my funds for several years in a row."

[Haha.]

Yan Sheng looked at the outer space exploration plan that was stirring up a storm in the network world, and the enthusiastic discussions between Su Zhou and the new department. His data body made an emoticon of 'smile': [Moreover, Brother Zhe, I am different from you—humans may have nostalgia for their original bodies, but in the face of death, no matter how strong the original moral ethics are, few people can completely ignore it.]

[I don't need publicity. Even in this world where everyone can cultivate and everyone can live forever... No, precisely because it is a world where everyone can live forever, the post-mortem sustenance, and the fear of post-mortem phenomena, are far more important than before.]

"What?"

In response, Sheng Sheng was a little surprised: "Could it be that you have already found the first experimenter? Don't forget, the souls of those who die naturally have greatly changed their nature, and can only store pure information... The 'electronic heroic spirits' you want to create must have lively souls!"

"But lively souls represent people who are still young, still have a lifespan, and don't have that fear of death. How can they accept your transformation—don't be tempted or forced, if the committee finds out, the consequences will be dire!"

Yan Sheng knew that it was just his friend's instructions, a kind reminder.

So, he shook his head: [Of course, it's a completely voluntary target. After all, the true meaning of death is not just the loss of activity of the flesh.]

[One day, people will accept my achievements, just like accepting cultivation, accepting computers, accepting cars, accepting the Internet, accepting tap water, accepting the arrival of 'death is not the end.']

[They will eventually understand that death is just the beginning.]

Last day of double, ask for monthly tickets~

Tomorrow, a chapter at the end of the volume, and an extra chapter, probably. Alas, it's a pity that I didn't catch up with the last double monthly tickets, but who told me to have writer's block...
