Chapter 567 Paper Boats and Bright Candles Illuminate the Sky (16,000 Words, End of This Volume, Seeking Monthly Tickets!)

Black and white divine light spewed forth from the divine dragon, piercing the silent void illuminated by the Sun River. Countless souls dissipated and returned, bringing with them an immeasurable, inconceivable power.

Driven by absolute denial and destructive will, this soul light was now like a straight line, dividing both stars and the Sea of Emptiness in two. Then, it shot directly towards the Nirvana Tear at the center of the Heavenly Star Disk.

[No!!!!]

Seeing this, the Taihao God-Emperor immediately roared in rage. He flew forward, rushing through the dark cyan mist, his wings spreading, blotting out the sky and the sun.

In an instant, boundless spiritual power erupted. Space and time warped before him, becoming uneven, ultimately caving in—the flow of light was also distorted, turning into a barrier that warped all things. Layer upon layer of laws were superimposed on this lens defense that twisted space-time, enough to block almost any attack, any invading enemy.

[Zhuzhou, what are you trying to do?!]

Luo Hou and Mònmóluó also voiced their anger at this moment. The Star Lord pointed a finger, and the conflicting thoughts of all desires arose in the air, attempting to divide the power of all wishes within the soul light divine cannon. The Demon Lord raised his arms, and a Hua of Silent Extinction, almost completely opposite to the Five Virtues Divine Light, enough to cause the Five Declines of ordinary immortals, gods, and humans just by appearing, emerged between his arms.

Indeed, Luo Hou and Mònmóluó had no thoughts about the Nirvana Tear, and He had no intention of becoming a phoenix.

But… because that was the wish of the Primordial, the goal the Primordial had wanted to achieve in the past.

Therefore, He wanted to witness it!

Witness the successful condensation of the Nirvana Tear—and not let others get it!

For a time, the God-Emperor and the Demon Lord joined forces in an unprecedented way to fight against the destructive light erupted by the gray dragon-snake.

Even the Nirvana Tear and the Heavenly Star Disk themselves rippled with a layer of light-gold halo and cyan-gold rune barriers, spreading outwards, attempting to block this power that held great malice towards them, wanting to destroy them.

This scene, if seen by others, would surely feel bizarre, even shocking: an unprecedented alliance between the Celestial Heavens and the Nine Abyss, just to block an attack launched by one being.

Thus, at this very moment.

Light collided.

In the outer layers of the Sun River, a violent explosion occurred. Countless black lightning and auroras interfered with the high-intensity magnetic field around the celestial body, causing light and high-energy particle streams to distort, shake, expand, and contract chaotically. One could vaguely hear the roar of billions upon billions of people in unison, and the chaotic and disorderly rebuke of all living beings.

In an instant, it was as if a true sun was expanding outside the Sun River, and then exploding. The extreme glare caused the entire Heavenly Star Disk to shake violently.

Even a piece of the Sun River of the Ruins was missing, and large swaths of accretion disk material were blasted away, while the dark cyan mist light collapsed inward.

But even though it was teetering on the verge of collapse, even though it was constantly shaking, the power erupted by the divine dragon was indeed blocked.

[Blocked it!]

His figure flew backward, but the Myriad Spirits Divine Bird breathed a sigh of relief at this moment. Although He completely did not understand why Zhuzhou would suddenly erupt, would suddenly become angry, and then use such power to attack the Nirvana Tear, intending to destroy this divine object that could bring perfection to Himself, to all living beings.

But He would never give the other party another chance!

However, just as the spiritual energy tide triggered by the explosion was still surging.

Suddenly, the tide was broken through—a towering, gigantic dragon body, carrying an incomparably magnificent aura, directly sacrificed itself, carrying a body full of black and white karmic fire, and crashed towards Taihao and Luo Hou!

[What?!]

Accelerating the huge soul body to more than 20% of the speed of light, such violent propulsion could be said to have burned all of the giant dragon's remaining power. But no matter what, at this moment, the terrifying impact erupted!

Having just launched all their strength to block the divine light, neither the God-Emperor nor the Demon Lord had time to react again at this moment. But even so, They roared together, erupting with their last reserves of strength to meet the impact head-on.

But, unable to block it was unable to block it.

Rumble!

In the vacuum of the Sea of Emptiness, a huge mechanical wave oscillation came from the thin particle mist, and amidst the loud noise that surpassed the thunder of the mortal world ten thousand times, the Heavenly Star Disk emitted a creaking sound like a wail.

Then, the dark cyan light mist group, just like that, swayed and fell into the Sun River of the Ruins.

At this moment, the outer edge of the Sun River of the Ruins.

Countless Heavenly Demons, covered in wounds, were hovering on the outside, looking towards the distant land of divine and demonic battles.

They dared not approach the Sun River, the endless Heavenly Light, and the direction where the Nirvana Tear was located. So they could only watch from afar, staring at the endless spiritual light that suddenly rippled in the distance.

[Who do you think will win in the end?]

[I'll bet on Taihao.]

[I'll bet on the Demon Lord.]

[Why does someone have to win? I'll bet they all die.]

[That's a good one! It's best if they all die!]

The chaotic, noisy voices rang out, and many Heavenly Demons muttered to themselves—even they were very clear that if a victor emerged, no matter who the victor was, they, these Heavenly Demons, would definitely not have a good end.

At best, they would remain in the Sea of Emptiness, drifting along with the Xuanbing meteorites, struggling to reproduce while bathing in the Great Sun's radiance.

However, just as the Heavenly Demons were communicating, suddenly, one Heavenly Demon froze.

The eyes of that powerful demon race, resembling a giant tortoise, stared blankly into the distance, causing all the Heavenly Demons to turn their heads and look in the direction of the Sun River.

Then, all the Heavenly Demons were stunned.

Because they saw that in that direction, there was an endless stream of soul light dissipating, the brilliant seven colors, the aurora that surpassed the rainbow, were flowing in the Sea of Emptiness. In the successive explosions, the various colors of halos rose and fell, making the distant Sun River of the Ruins as beautiful as a dream.

Endless souls, derived a river of light in the void, they were drifting, pulled by some kind of vast power, towards the return to the Tianyuan World.

Like a huge, incomparably wandering dragon-snake in the galaxy.

[That, what is that?!]

One great demon muttered in a daze, and the Heavenly Demon Chiwen, one of the oldest immortal blood-derived great demons, answered in a low voice: [That is the Undying Soul.]

[It is the power of the Underworld Lord… the Underworld Lord Hongming is guiding these souls of all living beings to return.]

Saying so, this Heavenly Demon, seemingly a dragon-snake, couldn't help but reveal a confused look. It raised its head, looking at the Heavenly Star Disk that was gradually falling towards the Sun River, its tone filled with incomprehension: [But… why?]

[Why would Zhuzhou主动放弃这份来自于冥主的力量? Without this power, how can He fight Taihao and the Nine Abyss?]

At the same time.

Sun River of the Ruins, within the Heavenly Star Disk.

[Zhuzhou, you fellow, do you know what you almost did!]

Exhausting the last of his strength, Taihao and Luo Hou Mònmóluó joined forces to block Zhuzhou's final impact—even as the God-Emperor, having fought continuously with experts of the same level for so long, and having erupted with all his strength several times, it was impossible to be at his peak state at this moment.

What's more, He had been backstabbed by Luo Hou before, and was still using his power to suppress that injury, which made Him even more exhausted.

However, even so, the Myriad Spirits Divine Bird still gathered his wings, tidying up his posture.

He looked at Su Zhou, his face filled with anger.

And Luo Hou was the same, but His expression was neither sad nor happy, just looking at Zhuzhou with a solemn gaze.

For some reason, He always felt that something was not quite right in His heart—although Zhuzhou's strength was not strong, He was after all burdened with immortal blood, and also had the nearly complete Five Virtues Divine Light, with great merit, great luck, like an existence born in response to calamity.

He had also obtained the approval of the Underworld Lord, obtained the power of the other party's undying soul body, and had been entangled with Them until now.

Would there be no meaning to the actions of such an existence? Just to vent, so he wanted to destroy the Nirvana Tear?

He didn't believe it.

Zhuzhou must have a goal He wanted to accomplish with the attack just now, and it was still unknown whether this goal had been accomplished.

However, just as the two were staring at Zhuzhou together, they couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Because, They found that Zhuzhou at this moment had actually dispersed that towering, incomparably undying soul body.

He had turned back into an ordinary human form.

The black-haired youth stood in the dark cyan mist, the power of the Heavenly Star Disk and the Sun River intertwined, the majestic spiritual energy produced was enough to stir the operation of the stars, the overly brilliant light shone on his closed eyes, as if it could directly penetrate the human body.

Just now, Su Zhou had exhausted all the power of his soul, and with the relationship between the Undying Soul and the Underworld Lord as a guide, he had returned all the souls, allowing them to return to the Tianyuan World.

But now, in the depths of the young soul who was still only in the realm of Earth Immortal True Person, a wisp of undying aura faintly flowed out!

Not only that.

In this extremely rich, almost unbelievable spiritual torrent, located at the center of the Heavenly Dao of the Stars, in this place where the most extreme spiritual energy was gathered, far surpassing any cave heaven paradise!

Accompanied by a slight hum, a touch of cyan-purple brilliance began to emerge from the depths of Su Zhou's soul, shining, and then sublimating, turning into a soul sun that illuminated all directions!

He was starting to Ascend to Immortality!

"Wish… is power!"

From beginning to end, Su Zhou had always firmly believed in this point.

—But, it was not the wishes and prayers of others.

—It was his own wishes that made people stronger, bringing himself endless motivation and strength!

If you wanted to save the world, you had the power to save the world.

If you wanted to redeem all living beings, you had the power to redeem all living beings.

If even this 'want' was not there, even if there was power for various reasons, you would not know what to do.

Only if you 'wanted' it, had a wish, had your own demands and expectations for yourself, could you take a step forward, become stronger, and climb to higher levels!

Just like Ming Zhengde—his wish was to make all living beings happy and perfect. Although, there were many reasons for his becoming stronger, and in a sense, he had cheated, it was the result of accumulating thirty thousand rebirths, but if he didn't have this wish, he couldn't walk on this path!

If he didn't have this wish, the perfect end, even if he cheated, could not be reached.

At this moment, in his personal space, at the top of the crown of the Wisdom Tree, there was a transparent, wish soul as clear and pure as glazed glass, belonging to Su Zhou himself, now burning fiercely!

At this moment, it leapt out, turning into an arc of light, emerging from his personal space, and then directly disappearing into the halo that appeared behind Su Zhou's head.

In the next instant, Su Zhou opened his eyes.

In the young man's eyes, the light of the stars of the heavens revolved, sometimes bright and sometimes dim!

At this moment, the entire body of the dark cyan mist of the Heavenly Dao of the Stars, and even the endlessly flowing, infinitely brilliant Sun River of the Ruins, were illuminated by the light that suddenly lit up, with a cyan-purple color!

And a cyan-purple Heavenly Soul of the same color, just like that, emerged from the halo behind Su Zhou's head, and finally hung above his head, round and unified, without leakage or defect, like a perfect dragon ball.

That was the thing condensed from the purest soul light and spirituality, it was the Heavenly Soul Position, it was the essence of Su Zhou's divine power, the core of his soul, wishes, and everything.

But now, a layer of dense cracks and patterns began to appear on the surface of this dragon ball, it seemed to be on the verge of shattering, and began to fall down like snowflakes, turning into tiny fragments, turning into light dust in mid-air, and then rotating around the dragon ball, like a star ring, or an accretion disk.

But this was not a backlash before failing to break through to Heavenly Immortal.

It was the manifestation of the 'Power of Myriad World Innovation'!

The Power of Myriad World Innovation—

What form should such a divine power essence take in the world?

The answer was unknown.

Innovation had no specific appearance, because it needed to adapt to local conditions, and judge its 'relatively correct' form according to the local situation.

Innovation itself was correct, but no innovation was absolutely correct. Any innovation that did not understand the local objective situation, and did not combine with reality, was not true innovation, but an evil, an evil called arrogance, self-righteousness, so it forced others to 'change'.

True innovation needed to accumulate experience, observe reality. It needed to carry out different, unique innovations according to the different situations of each place, each group of people, each society, civilization, and world.

Therefore, innovation could not be perfect from the beginning. It did indeed have omissions, errors, and imperfections, so it needed to be corrected, reformed, repaired, to see the original mistakes, and repair them into correct ones.

"So, my path is 'not knowing'."

"Because I don't know, I can move forward!"

So, it could be seen that there was a blazing fire burning, it was fused with the cyan-purple magic fire, bursting out from the Heavenly Soul, and then swallowing Su Zhou's body.

The flames rose up, turning into an unusually huge pillar of fire that pierced through the Heavenly Star Disk, and within this pillar of fire, there were three huge head silhouettes floating in it, bright lights flashing in the three pairs of eyes.

——Zhuzhou · Cosmic Battle Form.

——Zhuzhou · Naval Battle Form.

——Zhuzhou · General-Purpose Battle Form.

A vermilion-gold divine sword was like a pillar, it pierced through the pillar of fire, connecting the silhouettes of the three heads into one… then, the endless light contracted after the explosion, condensing, and finally all turned into a circular light cocoon.

It was broken all over, with cracks spreading across it, as if something was about to break out of it, and be reborn.

But everything stopped here.

The light cocoon did not shatter.

Only, a fragment fell from the cocoon egg, revealing the alternating light and dark scene inside—one could see from the cracks that inside was an abyss of darkness, containing a deep malice, or an extreme brightness, lodging all good thoughts.

It seemed that there were eyes, peeking at the world from the cracks in this egg, but not revealing its true posture.

No…

This was his true posture!

This, was the body of the Heavenly Immortal Dao that Su Zhou had achieved, his true form!

【——Zhuzhou · Primordial Form——】

Karmic fire burned like a star ring, fiercely around this broken cocoon, the cocoon of possibility, lodging all wishes, was gestating something, but no one could see through the true body behind that cocoon.

At this moment, the Taihao God-Emperor, Star Lord Luo Hou, and Mònmóluó originally thought that Su Zhou was going to use some kind of trump card to attack the Nirvana Tear again, so they surrounded the light gold brilliance together, vigilantly watching this side.

But until Su Zhou finished Ascending to Immortality, completely transforming his Heavenly Immortal body, They did not detect any possible 'trump card'.

However, their attention was indeed attracted by this strange thing.

—This, is this an egg? Is the dragon-snake or the divine bird in the egg?

The Myriad Spirits Divine Bird thought so in confusion. As an existence who had sublimated from an ordinary bird, Taihao was different from most divine birds, and still knew how normal birds reproduce, and what eggs were like, but He couldn't be sure either.

Because it could also be the cocoon of an insect, or the embryo that bred a creation god, it could be the spore of a mushroom, or a stone egg that bred a congenital spirit, a seed of an unknown divine tree…

—What exactly is this true form?

And the Demon Gods of the Nine Abyss also looked suspiciously, and ripples rose in their hearts. Luo Hou's thoughts were roughly the same as Taihao's, but He felt that it wouldn't be strange for anything to be born from this egg, as long as there was a need, and a wish rose from the heart, it could transform into a posture to complete it—as long as it was for innovation, to change the status quo, no matter what the form, this egg could give birth to it!

【Zhuzhou… is indeed not a dragon, nor a phoenix… He is not any kind of divine beast!】

Muttering as if he had realized something, the Taihao God-Emperor's gaze became firm again. He said in a deep voice at this moment: [Although you have now Ascended to Immortality, broken through the balance of the Heavenly Dao of the Stars, you have lost the Undying Soul Power given to you by the Underworld Lord.]

[Now, you can't do anything, Zhuzhou. After I obtain the Nirvana Tear, I will definitely give you the punishment you deserve for disrespect.]

[But if you are willing to join my command, and become a part of my power, then I can forgive your sin.]

Even now, Taihao still wanted to recruit Zhuzhou.

Just like Ming Zhengde provoked him again and again, He was willing to recruit the other party.

Because, from the beginning, He regarded the power of all living beings as a part of himself, a part of the new world to be named the Taihao World in the future.

——Mortals rebel against the heavens, scold the Heavenly Dao for being unjust, and intend to resist fate and the established results… Isn't this the norm in the world? Who wouldn't complain about fate, wouldn't hate the impermanent future?

Just like He Taihao in the past, wasn't he also unwilling to be born ordinary, wanting to go against the heavens, Ascend to Immortality and become a god? And wasn't the 'heaven' at that time, the Heavenly Emperor named Taihao, also not caring at all?

Since that was the case, as 'heaven', as 'world', as the body of 'Taiji', the light of the new beginning in the future, what could He Taihao mind?

Faced with things that would not threaten Him, Taihao was always so tolerant.

"Puchi."

However, what responded to Him was a straightforward sneer from Su Zhou.

Zhuzhou's Primordial Cocoon did not pay attention to the meaning of the God-Emperor and the Demon Lord, it rippled with bursts of dazzling flames, flashing like ripples, and the cocoon body began to transform and deform.

In the suddenly resounding howl of the gale, the roar of thunder, the flames burned fiercely, and a streamlined, simple, and somewhat sci-fi spaceship, just like that, leapt out of the flames, floating in this Sea of Emptiness vacuum!

[Zhuzhou · Battleship Form 0.1 Test Version!]

The spaceship was painted black, with cyan-purple cloud patterns spreading across it, shining with mysterious brilliance. Behind it, dozens of kilometers of turbulent jets suddenly erupted from the nozzles at the tail end. The extraordinarily bright spiritual light brought an incredible driving force, accelerating it and rushing towards the distance!

Su Zhou had actually turned around and ran away!

——Why did he just run away?!

In the first moment, neither the God-Emperor nor the Demon Lord understood what was going on, but after thinking about it carefully, it was not surprising… after all, without the blessing of the Underworld Lord's Undying Soul, how could a mere god and demon who had just advanced possibly fight with Their existence at the level of old Heavenly Emperors?

Since he couldn't destroy the Nirvana Tear, he could only run first. Zhuzhou's mode of action was indeed correct, very rational.

But even if he understood the reason, a layer of worry couldn't help but appear in Taihao's heart.

[No, is Zhuzhou's actions really that simple?]

[Moreover…]

Arrays reappeared in his eyes, the God-Emperor stared at what was in front of Him. He suddenly noticed a very strange thing, that was, Su Zhou, who was accelerating himself to the limit in battleship form, did not fly too far away.

This shouldn't be, because with Su Zhou's cosmic war speed, although They couldn't catch up, it was still a very troublesome thing.

Such speed was far inferior to that of the Heavenly Demons. With just a few thoughts, he could disappear into the depths of the Sea of Emptiness, making it difficult to track.

However, he was still located in the Heavenly Star Disk, not far away.

—It was almost, almost as if space and time were distorted!

And when he thought of this, the Taihao God-Emperor's expression suddenly changed. This contemporary hero, who had observed the changes in the Ruins for hundreds of thousands of years and created the [Heavenly Star Return to One Unification Dao Method], seemed to have thought of something. He turned his head, looked at the Ruins behind him, his eyes widened, and a look of shock and anger flowed in his eyes: [Crap!]

At this time, the voice of Zhuzhou, who seemed to have also realized that he could not escape, also came from behind Him.

"Did you really think that my purpose was to destroy the Nirvana Tear? Concern makes you confused, you two."

That was a tone full of mockery. Su Zhou, who was still rapidly spewing spiritual energy flames in the form of a battleship, said calmly at this moment: "Use your brains, God-Emperor and Demon Lord, haven't you felt that something has happened since we approached the Ruins?"

At this moment, not to mention the Taihao God-Emperor, who had noticed and whose expression had become extremely ugly, even Luo Hou was alarmed and felt that something was wrong. He raised his head, sensing the connection between himself and the desires of all living beings.

By referring to two different frames of reference, the Star Lord and the Demon Lord's expressions changed drastically: [Time… is time accelerating?!]

[No, it's our time that's slowing down!]

Mass distorts space-time.

This was the truth that any one who had cultivated to the realm of gods and demons, who had come to the Sun River of the Ruins, and had seen that dark concave mirror, which was the source of light in the Tianyuan World and distorted space-time, could understand.

Distorting space, carrying out teleportation, shifting, creating subspace to a certain extent through various exercises and Dao techniques, and even personal worlds—this kind of thing was not difficult to do, as long as there was corresponding inheritance and strange objects, they could handle spells involving space-time.

Even, by borrowing the power of the celestial body itself, locating space-time coordinates, they could even carry out faster-than-light travel across countless light years.

However, just his own existence, without any external force or casting spells, could distort space-time… if he could do this, he would be worthy of being called a powerhouse!

At this moment, the Taihao God-Emperor, Luo Hou, and Mònmóluó looked at the core of the Heavenly Star Disk with extremely ugly expressions.

There, there was a light gold brilliance, the light that nurtured the Nirvana Tear, the gathering body of endless Heavenly Light, was now slowly falling towards the event horizon of the Ruins.

They immediately used their power, locking the Nirvana Tear in place by force.

Faced with the infinitely powerful gravitational source not far away, space had already begun to bend extremely. The Heavenly Star Disk, which originally appeared as a cloud, began to twist, becoming tilted and elongated, and the dazzling spiritual light also drew arcs, and the corners of the straight lines became steep.

This was the lowest point of space-time, the deep well of the universe, as long as you approached it, everything would fall into it.

This well was called the Ruins, and as long as you entered the well, it would be Avici, entering eternal silence.

Even the sea formed by light was the same, endless, without end.

——Those who receive the body in Avici will never die, and longevity is a great tribulation in Avici Hell——

——A means no words, Na means no space, no time, no space, immeasurable realm of karma——

And the flying Su Zhou laughed loudly.

Approaching a black hole, space-time would be distorted. Simply put, the flow of time around a black hole was much slower than in the distance from the black hole.

One day in heaven, one year on earth, that was the situation. The existence that was completely grasped by the black hole might not completely fall until the outer universe became silent and ended. And this punishment that surpassed the life of the universe, the punishment of eternal immortality, was the great tribulation called Avici!

Therefore, in the Central Divine Court of Earth, the black hole was called the Ruins, and was also known as the 'Avici Great Star'. Forcing gods and demons to invest, or even stuffing them into it, was the means by which the Great Heavenly Lords wiped out strong enemies of the same level, and punished the most extreme enemies of the Dao and criminals!

—This was Su Zhou's true purpose!

—Through erupting power, directly pushing Them and the Heavenly Star Disk closer to the Ruins!

At this moment, both Taihao and Luo Hou saw through Su Zhou's purpose. He really didn't want anything, whether it was the Nirvana Tear or power, or even his own life, he didn't care at all, he could directly use all his strength to force Them to defend, and be forced to be blasted out of the equilibrium orbit along with the Heavenly Star Disk, and gradually fall into the Ruins!

And Zhuzhou · Battleship Form was still flying at its fastest speed, but the effect was still not very good.

The gravity of the Ruins behind him was truly unbelievable. The mass of this black hole was too great, simply unbelievably large. A mere sun couldn't compare to it at all. It definitely had at least a hundred times the mass of the sun.

As for whether it was possible to be higher… now was the time, who had the mind to calculate this!

Even Su Zhou felt that he actually couldn't escape at all. Since he entered the Sun River of the Ruins, no matter how hard he struggled, it was impossible to break free from the black hole's gravity. His current acceleration was just slowing down the speed of his fall, but after a long time, he would inevitably be sucked into the black hole and fall into silence.

Even Taihao and Luo Hou Mònmóluó were the same. With Their strength, They might indeed have a chance to rush out, but that would definitely take a long time. And in the situation of space-time distortion caused by the mass of the black hole, how long would the Tianyuan World have passed at that time?

Who knew.

Anyway, it was definitely enough.

At this moment, just as everyone was shocked and discolored by the current situation.

On Su Zhou's battleship form at this time, the subspace sensors floated up, and the spiritual patterns spread out, like eyes, staring at the distant Tianyuan World.

The power of the Seal of Reincarnation, surpassed the distortion of space-time, allowing him to directly see the appearance of the source of the power of wish lodged in his heart.

Therefore, the young man saw that on the distant Tianyuan mortal world, a blazing fire was burning. It was the illusory flame formed by the release of spiritual light, seemingly invisible, but it could affect all things.

The entire world seemed to be reborn in Nirvana, and the power of the endless earth veins erupted, condensing huge laws outside the world, and finally turning into a barrier that isolated the heavens and the earth. It was dazzlingly bright, extremely thick, and cut off all external interference.

Finally, it merged, completely enveloping the entire Tianyuan World.

"The Great Formation of Severing Heaven and Earth has been completed? As expected of you, Ming Zhengde, I knew you could do it."

Smiling lightly as he watched all of this, Su Zhou said calmly to himself: "I have completed everything that I can do—and whether or not the living beings of this world can obtain happiness depends on you."

—What exactly is perfection?

Perfection is flawless.

But, not only is everyone's definition of perfection different, everyone's definition of flaws is also different.

Some people think that suffering is also a part of life, so they are happy with it. If there is no suffering, it is a flaw.

No, it is better to say, for these people, is that really suffering? Isn't that a rather happy experience, just like some people who love fighting, even if they are injured and defeated, they don't feel annoyed at all, but instead feel that they can continue to improve, and feel the beauty in pain.

But some people, even if their sleeves are wet with water when washing their hands, can be unhappy all day.

No one can ever understand each other, and this is also true between right and right.

"So, Ming Zhengde."

He whispered to himself, knowing that no one could hear him, but still murmuring: "I will not force you to realize the perfection in my heart."

"That is arrogance, and meaningless arrogance."

"But, I will give you a new possibility."

"—Innovation!"

The innovator from outside the world will tell everyone a new possibility!

——The world still has such a direction, such an incredible future, such a possibility, a goal that is difficult for one person to achieve, no matter how many times they struggle!

Imagine it, imagine a better future! Imagine a better, better future that you didn't dare to imagine before!

"Power does not come from obsession, but from wishes!"

"Make a wish to me, make a wish to yourself, make a wish to all living beings!"

"Those who dare to dream, those who imagine, will surely obtain the power of this wish!"

Tianyuan mortal world, New Calendar year two, end of April.

Kyoto.

The Holy Emperor sat on his throne, the Shangshu Ling stood calmly by his side.

The extremely tired emperor narrowed his eyes slightly, raising his head with a somewhat hazy gaze. He looked at the high sky.

On the clear sky, there were soul lights all over the sky like rain, falling into the world. They were the souls of all living beings returning from the Undying Soul Body, and they fell one after another, like shooting stars, like heavy rain, like a dragon of all living beings falling from the sky to the mortal world, causing a scorching gale to rise between heaven and earth, warming the cold air of early spring.

Night was about to fall, winter was over, daytime was coming, and spring was approaching.

In this gale, on the coast of Nanze, the place where endless grievances gathered, the Anxi Divine Tree was rapidly transforming.

The divine tree was born from spiritual inspiration, and could grow one zhang in the day and seven chi at night.

Between heaven and earth, all living beings lived long, and the popularization of the Immortal Reincarnation Law was rapidly causing the spirituality of heaven and earth to return.

And the star that rose from the ground was now shining in the world together with the sun.

"Zhuzhou…"

He smiled and whispered to himself, and then his head slowly drooped down. Ming Zhengde's voice carried a hint of undisguisable happiness. It was joy, happiness, and a kind of indefinable, inexplicable awareness: "I understand… I finally understand…"

"Not failing anyone's resistance, not failing anyone's efforts… the most basic requirement for perfection is not failing any existence…"

After saying that, Ming Zhengde closed his eyes.

He gradually stopped breathing.

But, at this moment, the man suddenly opened his eyes.

"No, I can't die yet."

He gasped, his voice as if spat out from his lungs: "I, must live, so that I can maintain the great formation… only in this way can I pause 'rebirth', so as not to let the results of this victory turn into nothingness…"

At this moment, endless thoughts flooded Ming Zhengde's mind.

—Was this the perfection he wanted?

—Was this the future he most longed for?

It was not.

It was too far from the perfection the man wanted. Many people who shouldn't have died had died, and many people who could have been won over had not been won over. This future was definitely not perfect, let alone the future he longed for.

But… even so.

He must persevere.

Persevere to the end, until he could no longer persevere, and finally, without any resistance, he would meet inevitable defeat!

Because, it was not just the last perfect resistance that was resistance.

Every resistance required all-out effort, and was very important!

"As long as I don't live, I won't die, and the great formation can continue to be maintained."

Breathing out, Ming Zhengde turned his head, looking at the pine tree on the other side with eyes flashing with faint golden light. He painstakingly instructed: "After I enter extinction through the secret method, you don't have to come to me often, nor do you have to wait for me to wake up. Cangsong, the new dynasty was created by me, but the Tianyuan World is ultimately the world of all living beings. The existence of an immortal god Holy Emperor may not allow civilization to thrive."

"Zhuzhou and I have done everything we can to guide, and the haze covering the living beings of Tianyuan has been dispelled. Daybreak has arrived. The rest is left to…"

He didn't finish the last sentence.

And the man who had been silently listening all along was already in tears.

【Damn it, Zhuzhou!】

【Why did you do this, you bastard? All of this, everything, is of no benefit to you!】

Around the Sun River of the Ruins, such angry voices rang out.

"Hahahaha, isn't that just right!"

To this, Su Zhou laughed wantonly: "Making you unhappy is my greatest benefit!"

"Does anyone really think that there are no existences in this world that harm others and benefit oneself?"

Neither Taihao nor Luo Hou had any extra power to attack Su Zhou at this moment, because that would only slow down their time to break free from the gravity of the Ruins—knowing that the dark cyan light mist where the entire Nirvana Tear was located was also being locked in place by Them, which was an even greater power expenditure.
