Chapter 813 It's Hard to Keep a Straight Face (7000)

Creation without guidance is a mistake.

Su Zhou understood this very well. The birth of the stellar phoenix 'Xi Yang' (Sunlight) had taught him this principle.

If he hadn't guided Xi Yang's actions, what would this ignorant stellar phoenix have done? Would it have destroyed civilized planets out of curiosity? Would it have devoured other stars out of instinct? Would it have destroyed the gathering places of interstellar civilizations just because it wanted to get a closer look?

It wasn't evil, nor was it good. It was simply a life that existed without anyone to teach it. Whatever it did would be meaningless.

It would only be feared and guarded against, and called a 'monster.'

But, here's the problem.

Even a Zhúzhòu (Candle Dragon) from another world understood this principle, so why didn't the Chuangshi Dao (Creation Dao) lineage, the core dependents of the Realm of Genesis, understand?

Using the power of the Zhèn Huán Seal to suppress it would create huge flaws. Other than making it easier to command, every other aspect was a disadvantage.

Su Zhou couldn't understand this problem at first, but after Aurora Fibi fought the Unique God, he gained some insight.

--Because they never intended to create life in the first place.

The Five Heavens Divine System only wanted to create a 'tool.'

Just as humans on Earth would add sealing arrays to spaceships, nuclear fusion power plants, and large-mass electromagnetic projectors to prevent these tools from gaining sentience and turning into demons, the Five Heavens Divine System never intended for the Unique God to develop its own will. They simply regarded it as a living tool to break through the Great Flood.

They created the Unique God's body and gave it 'life' by endowing it with their Great Daos and divine powers.

Was this wrong?

Nonsense, it was a huge mistake!

"Why not just build a perfectly good robot? Why insist on creating a god...creating a god and then not letting it think for itself, using seals to suppress it? It's just one mistake on top of another!"

That was Su Zhou's reaction after watching Aurora Fibi fight the Unique God.

As for why the Five Heavens Divine System didn't build robots, it was naturally because robots couldn't bear the weight of five Truth-level Great Daos. If they could, they wouldn't need the Unique God at all. They would have become the Great Flood themselves.

Using a Dao-Bearing Body to create a god to bear the Great Daos, and then sealing its intelligence, was essentially taking a shortcut. It was like being unable to use nanomachines to imitate the human body, so you could only clone a person to dissect, and even cut off that person's frontal lobe to ensure they wouldn't resist. It was ridiculously wrong!

After realizing the essence of what the Five Heavens Divine System had done, Su Zhou revealed an extremely disgusted expression.

Then, he contacted the Perpetual Star God on the other side.

At this moment.

Just after Aurora Fibi challenged the Unique God, but was suppressed and defeated in a short time, and had to escape by borrowing strength.

All the Dao-Unifying powerhouses in the Realm of Genesis had roughly figured out the specific strengths of the two powerful existences who were close to being the Great Flood.

Everyone knew Aurora Fibi's strength. As the leader of the Tower of Absolute Heaven, He was a well-deserved powerhouse. Even the universally recognized strongest, Dùsīkǎ (Dusika) and Linkelda, had been challenged by Him in the past, and the result was, at best, a slight advantage. Most of the time, they were evenly matched.

He had been defeated, and so easily. Although he had regained some ground at the end, it was enough to prove that other Dao-Unifying experts couldn't defeat the Unique God either.

Dùsīkǎ and the others had indeed found a path leading further forward!

Even more than just Dùsīkǎ.

Even the Perpetual Star God, the Second Generation Cosmic Will, who had been suppressed by the Unique God and was at a disadvantage just now, had roughly figured out his current situation.

[--Facing that puppet controlled by those five old guys, although I can't defeat it head-on, I'm the Cosmic Will. There's no need to fight this Unique God head-on at all!]

[As long as I can figure out the current location of those five old guys, and then attack them, the Unique God will have to return to defend and fight me head-on. In that case, it will be my advantage!]

His hard power was indeed slightly inferior, but it was only a difference in experience.

In terms of actual power, the Cosmic Will believed that it completely surpassed the Unique God.

The current disadvantage could even be said to be slowly honing his skills, and the battle between Aurora Fibi and the Unique God had given him a lot of inspiration.

At the very least, the Cosmic Will had realized that the Unique God was indeed being suppressed and restrained by some powerful force, and the reins of this restraint were held in the hands of a group of Dao-Unifying powerhouses led by Dùsīkǎ.

But he was different.

The Cosmic Will was his own master.

And the Perpetual Star God, and even the entire Realm of Genesis, were theoretically his own body. This was a Dao-Forging method unique to the Cosmic Will. All other life forms, unless they had the status of the 'Soul of Heaven and Earth,' couldn't control the stars and cosmic spiritual veins as easily as he could.

If he delayed for a while longer...with the power of the Perpetual Star God, it would be the Unique God who had to think about how to win.

As things stood.

The Unique God and the Perpetual Star God were like a spiraling tower.

One side temporarily occupied the upper hand, but the other side couldn't be said to have no chance of catching up.

For the Dao-seekers who were now pioneering the path in the blank void, their struggle was such a staggered and upward process.

Until one side truly stepped into the realm of the Great Flood and transformed the entire Realm of Genesis into their own world.

That was the situation.

But at this moment, the Perpetual Star God-Cosmic Will, heard the voice of a Zhúzhòu (Candle Dragon) from another world who had just reached Dao-Unification.

"--Cosmic Will, I've thought of a way to defeat you and the Unique God, but also to make you stronger."

These words caused endless waves in the Cosmic Will's heart, as well as a sense of bewilderment that could be described as 'strange.'

--Defeat me and the Unique God?

--Make us...stronger?

What nonsense was this Primal Zhúzhòu (Candle Dragon) spouting? How could he, a mere Dao-Unifying expert, point fingers at him and the Unique God!

But, after the Perpetual Star God's question marks and indignation, Su Zhou gave his answer.

That was the Pioneer Space, the Sealed Universe, the Celestial Scale, and the truth of this multiverse.

--In just a moment, Su Zhou told him everything he knew about the Frozen Void, as well as the full picture of the Sealed Universe.

Far more, and more comprehensive, than the Cosmic Will himself had explored in the Pioneer Space.

"Do you understand, Cosmic Will?"

After the other party had roughly digested it, Su Zhou said in a calm tone during the soul communication: "Your power is rare even in the multiverse. The Doomsday Calamity caused by the world you draw with your will is extremely difficult to block, even if the Vortex of Strife and I work together with all our strength."

"But how much do you know about this multiverse? As the Cosmic Will of the Realm of Genesis, you do indeed have an advantage in achieving the Great Flood, but after that, when you go to other universes to spread your Dao, won't you be slower than other Great Floods? After all, others are the Great Flood themselves, and influencing the world is just like using blue paint, while you have to carry the 'universe' as your body and transform other universes into your own body."

For a time, the Cosmic Will was silent for a long time, but Su Zhou didn't stop.

"I can help you, Cosmic Will. I am the holder of the Celestial Scale, the Zhúzhòu (Candle Dragon) who walks through the Sealed Multiverse. I can lead you to the Pioneer Space, I can lead you to witness the truth of the Great Seal--I do have the ability to help you become stronger."

"As for the method to defeat you..."

At this moment, Su Zhou smiled. He shook his head slightly: "Kǎlā (Kala), the Dao-Unifying powerhouse of the Bureau of Balance, who is still sealed by you in the root of the universe...you haven't attacked him yet, you definitely can't eliminate him."

"Kǎsītǎlāluó (Castararo) has already told me, and I already know the purpose of the Bureau of Balance's trip to the root of the universe--they wanted to take advantage of the fact that the Cosmic Will hadn't appeared yet, and become the Cosmic Will themselves, implementing the 'Dao of Balance' throughout the universe!"

The Perpetual Star God was originally the Dao-Forging method created by the Bureau of Balance, not the Cosmic Will.

However, the Bureau of Balance eventually discovered that to cultivate this Dao, one had to be the Cosmic Will, the 'Spirit of Heaven'.

Therefore, they would explore the root of the universe, trying to ascend to the position of the Soul of All Things themselves...in other fantasy Xianxia novels, it would be merging with the Dao and becoming the master of heaven and earth. Only then could they arbitrarily change the Great Dao and Truth to their own liking.

But, they failed. The entire Bureau of Balance was brainwashed by the Cosmic Will and eventually became a tool for the Cosmic Will to forge the Perpetual Star God.

But here's the problem.

"Second Generation Cosmic Will...you are only the Second Generation, and your year of birth is actually not long."

Calmly stating the information he had obtained from various channels, Su Zhou could sense the increasingly dangerous aura coming from the Perpetual Star God's side, but he didn't have the slightest fear: "Even not long ago, you didn't have the strength to truly defeat a Dao-Unifying powerhouse. You couldn't even deal with me, let alone the entire Bureau of Balance Divine System at that time."

"Also, brainwashing the Bureau of Balance? If you really had such strength, then why not defeat the other party head-on? Everyone knows that brainwashing is more difficult and troublesome than fighting. How could you possibly do that?"

"Now, you do have this strength, but you still haven't killed Kǎlā (Kala), the Master of Balance of the Bureau of Balance...I can even sense that your relationship with him isn't bad."

"In that case, the situation is now very clear--you didn't have the ability to brainwash the Bureau of Balance at that time, and the Bureau of Balance did encounter a surprise attack."

Talking eloquently, Su Zhou spoke the final conclusion when the sense of danger from the direction of the Perpetual Star God almost reached its peak.

He smiled and said, "Then tell me, who is the will that truly brainwashed the entire Bureau of Balance? And who was the entire Bureau of Balance brainwashed on behalf of?"

The youth tilted his head slightly, his gaze toward 'Starlight,' located in the Ruins of Creation behind him. Su Zhou slowly said, "Everything is very clear, isn't it?"

"There is a first generation, and there is a second generation...the 'Second Generation Cosmic Will' that was created. You are actually very grateful for the Bureau of Balance's rash action to replace you as the Cosmic Will. In the final analysis, if it weren't for this group of people taking the blame for you, you wouldn't have your current self-will, you wouldn't be the current 'you'."

"Cosmic Will, do you have the confidence to stop me from rescuing the Master of Balance Kǎlā (Kala) while confronting the Unique God, and interfere with your foundation by supporting Starlight?"

As soon as these words came out, all the sense of danger disappeared.

All that was transmitted was a sigh.

[As expected]

The Second Generation Cosmic Will seemed to be shaking his head: [You contacted Kǎsītǎlāluó (Castararo), the only survivor of the Bureau of Balance, and the Dragon of Dao-Bearing is your junior, and you have also achieved Dao-Unification, and fought with me several times]

[It is indeed a matter of course that you can deduce these things]

"Don't worry, I won't do that, unless you continue to plan the Doomsday Calamity."

But Su Zhou just chuckled: "I can get you out of your current predicament--Cosmic Will, the 'Dragon of Dao-Bearing' is the object I protect, the Burial Grounds of All Things and the Vortex of Strife are both working with me, we can completely cooperate to create a universe that is peaceful and powerful for all beings, and also make you stronger."

As early as when he learned that the Bureau of Balance had been brainwashed by the Cosmic Will, he felt something was wrong.

And later, when he deduced that both the Key of Origin and the Dragon of Dao-Bearing were fragments of the 'First Generation Cosmic Will,' and they had only suddenly appeared in recent years, spreading throughout the Realm of Genesis, he began to think.

Not long ago, in order to stop the Burial Grounds of All Things from attacking the Ruins of Creation, he went to face Linkelda and obtained his support. At the moment of achieving Dao-Unification, Su Zhou obtained a guess from Linkelda's memory, as well as the true identity of 'Starlight.'

"The First Generation Cosmic Will died in the battle with the Dao Lord of the Circle of Creation. The two powerhouses, who were equally close to the edge of the Great Flood, shattered the Realm of Genesis. The Dao Lord perished, and the First Generation Cosmos was almost completely shattered, no longer existing."

"However, the Cosmic Will is, after all, rooted in the universe. When the Realm of Genesis flourishes again, it will naturally revive again--the First Generation Cosmic Will knew this, so he left behind a contingency plan. It is even very likely that the Second Generation Cosmic Will itself is the 'creation' he used to revive himself!"

However, who can completely control their own creations? Creating the seed of the Second Generation Cosmic Will was, at most, to ensure that the inheritance would not be destroyed, but it did not necessarily mean that he could revive himself.

Therefore, the First Generation Cosmic Will still prepared a 'brainwashing' contingency plan at the root of the universe.

This should have been a process without much drama. When the Second Generation Cosmic Will began to revive and become active with the re-prosperity of the universe, it would inevitably touch the power to control the heavens and the earth. On this power, there happened to be the trap left by the First Generation Cosmic Will to reappear in the world.

How perfect!

Except that this group of people from the Bureau of Balance didn't want to be a well-behaved Dao-Unifying Divine System, and had to run over to become the Cosmic Will, arbitrating the balance of all things.

So, it was a coincidence--the Second Generation Cosmic Will revived and saw the entire Bureau of Balance Divine System lying in his own home, although the Master of Balance Kǎlā (Kala) blocked the brainwashing with his Dao-Unifying status, he was probably only left with one breath at that time.

The ignorant Second Generation Cosmic Will picked up one of the Ten Divine Systems that had been brainwashed almost completely for free, and there were no hidden dangers in the future. He grew up smoothly and became the current Perpetual Star God.

The universe will be silent when it hears this, and the Dao-Unifying experts will cry.

Of course, in addition to this contingency plan that was theoretically unlikely to have accidents, the First Generation Cosmic Will probably had other means as backups.

For example, the fragment of the Cosmic Will that was originally in the Burial Grounds of All Things. If it hadn't been imprisoned by Linkelda, it could probably have evolved into a small world over the years, and even become an existence that could compete with the Second Generation Cosmic Will for power.

But it was suppressed by three Dao-Unifying powerhouses, and then stolen by the Soaring Titan, erasing all the contingency plans and turning it into the current Starlight, a living 'Key of Origin.'

The Key of Origin can enlighten many inheritances. If many Keys of Origin are combined, it can probably give people the power of almost the Cosmic Will...Of course, that is also a matter of when heaven knows. The current Key of Origin is simply a tool for many divine systems to study the 'Dao-Bearing Body,' and the Unique God is the result of this research.

In this way, the Circle of Creation shattered in the past, turning into the Ten Divine Systems, and the First Generation Cosmic Will perished, but it also evolved many fragments, achieving the current Second Generation.

Both sides have experienced many disputes and internal competition, but eventually found a way to achieve the 'Great Flood.'

The battle between the Unique God and the Cosmic Will is indeed still just a 'cycle.'

A cycle that no one has been able to break for millions of years.

"These are all guesses, not necessarily correct."

Of course, Su Zhou doesn't care about these specific details--he's just guessing.

In fact, he is only responsible for fighting. These seemingly well-reasoned related plots are all written by Shao Shuangyue, Jiu Ming, Funiya, Dechimus, and other Pioneer Space explorers.

After all, the explorers have a pen in their hands and a mouth on their heads. With the mission details provided by the Pioneer Space, what's so difficult about writing a fan fiction for anyone?

Although the original work "Realm of Genesis" has not yet been completed, when does fan fiction need to wait until the original work is completed before it can be written?

What is Kishimoto? How could he understand Naruto better than me! What is Oda, does he understand One Piece, what is the power system, does he understand what is a quasi-four emperor cadre!

Write! If the original work slaps me in the face, it means the original work is bad. If I write the ending of Attack on Titan, it will definitely be better than the original!

Even the Twin Divine Trees saw what they liked, and the two great beings added a billion details with their rich life experience and mixed them into it.

In short, after these few wrote several fan fictions, Su Zhou kneaded them together and added some of his own private goods, which is now his speculation.

But the Second Generation Cosmic Will's reaction shocked the youth.

[So, so that's how it is?!]

The Second Generation Cosmic Will's stunned reaction even had a sense of sudden realization: [I was wondering why it was like this, everything is explained!]

He nodded frequently, appearing quite excited and emotional: [No wonder, I was wondering when I would still brainwash people--I originally thought it was because I erupted at a dangerous time, but now it seems that it was the First Generation Cosmic Will's contingency plan!]

[No wonder I always felt that the Key of Origin and the Dragon of Dao-Bearing were very dangerous...It turns out that it was my instinctive defense against the First Generation Cosmic Will's contingency plan!]

Su Zhou: "...No, refute me a bit, restate some details or something..."

This kind of situation where the original author suddenly realizes, 'So that's what I was thinking at that time, there are so many profound meanings!' 'The weird light originally represented this meaning!' 'Good night actually has so many meanings!' Obviously made Su Zhou a little unable to hold back.

But everything is almost done. Since the Second Generation Cosmic Will knew that Su Zhou had indeed found out his weaknesses and showed the ability to help him, the subsequent communication seemed logical.

[Hmph...Until now, you have finally shown the ability to help me]

At this moment, the Perpetual Star God's tone in the soul space became gentler, even with a bit of 'why didn't you say it earlier' prideful complaint: [But I am magnanimous and will forgive your previous rudeness--so, what exactly do you want me to do?]

"I hope you can continue to fight the Unique God--I have found the other party's fatal loophole, but it is not enough. The Unique God himself is not wrong. I am not fighting to eliminate him, but to hope that everyone can give up the meaningless opposition and struggle."

Su Zhou said this, but he sensed a truly angry and resentful emotion rising just halfway through.

He couldn't help but sigh.

The Cosmic Will and the Ten Divine Systems' grievances really no longer need to be discussed: "In short, whether you are willing to give up or not, I need to find more weaknesses regarding the Unique God."

"Before that, just hold him back, and I will solve the subsequent problems."

[That's what I'm going to do anyway]

The Cosmic Will has now returned to calm, and he replied indifferently: [I promise you, Primal Zhúzhòu (Candle Dragon)...I can sense your love for all life in this universe]

He was silent for a while, and then sighed: [Although it is a bit sad, this is the fact--how ridiculous, the beings and gods of the Realm of Genesis hate me, and the first object that I feel 'loves me' is actually a visitor from another universe...]

At this moment, Su Zhou sensed it.

In the distant other side, the Perpetual Star God was turning his head, looking in the direction where he was.

Hundreds of millions of stars are like hundreds of millions of eyes.

Starlight is also the light of the eyes, and countless eyes are staring at the direction where the youth is.

That was different from any past time, when the gaze was 'examining' for observation, and 'analyzing' for battle...When the Cosmic Will looked at Su Zhou this time, there were no extra thoughts.

He was just 'looking.'

Looking at a person who was also looking at him.

For the first time, it was so pure.

Therefore, he sighed softly: [But, perhaps it's a bit strange...I can know that you 'love' me, but when I know that you also 'love' the Ten Divine Systems, I can't help but feel anger rising in my heart]

[What is this feeling? It's not just simple mutual hatred...]

"...It's jealousy."

Originally wanting to answer, but just after opening his mouth, Su Zhou froze.

--Crap!

This word suddenly popped up in the youth's mind, and he suddenly realized a crisis: "This Cosmic Will...is it so simple?!"

"It shouldn't be, I just have expectations for all things and all beings equally. He shouldn't be jealous because of this little thing..."

"Hahahaha! I told you not to flirt around!"

At this moment, Su Zhou heard Yala's wild laughter in his soul space: "People are originally a Cosmic Will who doesn't understand the mortal world very well, and is still a lonely soul who has been discriminated against, feared, and rejected since birth."

"As soon as you appeared, you kept telling him 'You will help him' 'You hope he gets better', and then, after the other party has hope and a little goodwill towards you, you turn around and help his enemies, ignoring his feelings--then, you run over and sincerely explain the methods and plans, proving that what you promised before was not false..."

"What do you think you're doing?"

"If I didn't know that you didn't have any ideas at all and just wanted to fulfill your own path of innovation, I would have thought you were planning to play the emotional card with the Cosmic Will!"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Su Zhou was anxious: "What emotional card, this is called a win-win cooperation!"

Just as Su Zhou was planning to forcibly suppress this topic and continue his plan.

He heard the voice from the Cosmic Will.

Gazing at Su Zhou, the Perpetual Star God's gaze did not carry the past heavy pressure.

He was just curiously staring at Su Zhou, and then said with some confusion: [What about yours?]

"What's mine?"

At first, Su Zhou didn't understand this sentence.

[Your purpose, your benefits]

The Perpetual Star God patiently replied: [You help me, I can achieve the Great Flood. Even if I don't, I will have a way out in the future--You help the beings of this universe, stop the Doomsday Calamity I created. You help the many Dao-Unifying powerhouses, including Linkelda, and let them understand their hearts, giving them the possibility of further progress]

[Primal Zhúzhòu (Candle Dragon)...Su Zhou. You have helped many people. Everyone in the Realm of Genesis is actually being helped by you. The popularization of the Flame of Evolution and the optimization of the Divine Power Network are all seen by me and other Dao-Unifying powerhouses. You have indeed made this universe better. If I and the Ten Divine Systems don't continue to fight, the beings will definitely love you, just as you love the beings]

[So even now, Dùsīkǎ (Dusika) and those people don't really intend to attack you. You see, the Unique God is watching. For your sake, after Aurora Fibi left, he didn't directly attack]

Saying this, the Perpetual Star God-Cosmic Will's words were filled with deep confusion: [Yes, because you are indeed helping everyone--You won't have enemies in this universe. Even I, perhaps, will fight, but I don't want to be your enemy]

These were sincere words. At this moment, Su Zhou also sensed that the Unique God and Dùsīkǎ (Dusika) and other Dao-Unifying powerhouses on the distant other side were also looking at him.

Their gazes might be indifferent, perhaps helpless, perhaps impatient, perhaps curious.

But there was no hostility of the "you die or I live" level.

The benevolent are invincible. With Su Zhou's actions in the Realm of Genesis, if he didn't actively interfere, indeed no Ten Divine System would do anything to him.

And this was the source of the greatest confusion.

[Why? Why are you doing this? You came to our universe and only give, which makes it difficult for us to understand]

Thousands of eyes were staring at Su Zhou.

[Su Zhou, where are your benefits?]

[Why are you doing it?]

Recovering a bit.

I feel like I have a cold. No wonder I had a terrible headache yesterday. I have been having a runny nose today, and I am also dizzy when coding.

Everyone, pay attention to keeping warm.
