Chapter 596 What is That Light? (W Words Update, Day 2)

The last words of the mind-controlled Mo King Guard reached the central command of the Nine Xuan World front lines, the sound echoing for a long time.

But before the Nine Xuan World high-level command, filled with shock and fury, could respond, the Chen King Guards, having completed their tasks, began their final actions.

In the center of the ruined, dust-filled, and blood-soaked Mo King Fortress, in a cleared hall, broken bodies, missing arms and legs, were neatly stacked. Even the blood did not flow out due to a mysterious force, but remained within the corpses.

All the guards, with expressions ranging from calm to cold, wearing blood-stained armor and carrying swords, piled all the Mo King Guard corpses in one place. Then, they chanted hymns in unison, activating a giant array drawn with blood.

"—No truth, no destiny."

"—No Heavenly Dao, no Supreme."

"—No eternity, no immortality."

"—Absolutely no perfection, absolutely no omnipotence."

"—The light of the setting sun, the long twilight—"

"—All things, all colors, all phenomena, absolutely no salvation, absolutely no meaning."

Clang, a metallic clang.

Midway through the loud chanting, the leader, a Chen King Guard with thin eyebrows and an aged face, drew his sword and cleanly sliced his own throat.

He was a descendant of a Celestial Venerable. His blood was a bright purplish-red, and the spiritual blood, full of spiritual power, did not splatter but hovered in the air, condensing into a mysterious and bizarre totem array. Around the array were layers of flickering runes and cloud patterns, constantly appearing and disappearing.

"—Praise the Dusk, show me the final path."

The sword was no ordinary object, with ancient patterns flashing on it, capable of destroying souls.

Committing suicide with this sword, the Chen King Guard showed no fear, nor the excitement of a common cultist, but calmly chanted in a low voice, then closed his eyes and passed away.

"—Praise the Dusk, show me the final path!"

At the same time, the other Chen King Guards solemnly chanted in unison.

[What's going on with this news?]

At this moment, the Xuan Emperor had just received news from the front lines. He rose in surprise, asking who the source of the news was.

No one knew better than him that the Earth side would never attack proactively. There was definitely a problem behind this news.

But as he was filled with shock and anger, suddenly, a trace of instinctive trembling came from the depths of his soul. It was not a soul transmission, nor a warning of impending disaster: the Xuan Emperor knew that it was similar to the sound he had heard during the spiritual Qi revival, seemingly originating from the summoning of an ancient尊主 (Zun Zhu, Lord).

But this trembling was different from that尊主 (Zun Zhu) called 'Termination'. It was as if daylight suddenly dimmed, and night was about to fall, ambiguously dividing everything, yet not everything, merely foreshadowing the end of everything.

He did not communicate with anyone, nor did he respond to any summons. He did nothing, and even wanted to deny his existence.

It was just that his followers had borrowed a trace of his power, and he naturally did not care.

So, dusk had arrived.

[This, what is this?!]

Sensing an extremely dangerous aura, without any hesitation, the Xuan Emperor's body transformed into a stream of light. He soared from the Jun Heaven Territory deep underground, and in an instant, he arrived at the high altitude of the Nine Xuan World. The Nine Xuan Emperor raised his head warily, looking towards the direction of the spatial-temporal gate.

Then he saw that there, the spiritual Qi clouds that had gathered because of the two-world tidal array had separated.

At this very moment.

Whether it was the Nine Xuan World on this side of the spatial-temporal gate, or Earth on the other side, or even the void between the two worlds, everyone, every beast, every spirit, saw that dim light.

Above the overcast sky, the gray clouds dissipated layer by layer like white mist exhaled from people's mouths in winter, revealing the three stars that were currently hanging high in the sky of the Nine Xuan World. Under the light, the jewel-like, beautiful purplish-blue sky gradually dimmed, as if covered with dust, or like an old, faded photograph that had gone through a long time.

On the Qingzhou Plateau of Earth, the Zheng Nation army on guard raised their heads in unison, staring blankly at the wisp of light spilling out from the spatial-temporal gate. And just this wisp of light pierced hundreds of thousands of meters, straight into the universe, like a crack running through the atmosphere and the high dome—and around the crack, all the spiritual Qi gradually turned inert, the light no longer bright, and even the sound of thunder in the sky became muffled and hoarse, no longer clear.

"Spatial-temporal rift!?"

Dao Saint, who was supervising the battle on the front line and watching this scene, couldn't help but gasp. Many people could see this light, but only a few powerful individuals could understand the power within it. And Dao Saint, who had been paying attention to the spatial-temporal rifts that ran through the universe and seemed to tear the entire world apart even before the spiritual Qi revival, even sensed a familiar feeling from this twilight light: "No, no, it's not like it, or rather, it's not just him."

"But this power is definitely related to that 'Great Seal' that traverses the entire universe, the one that Su Zhou talked about, the one that has already been broken!"

At this moment, in the Mo King Fortress of the Nine Xuan World.

With it as the center, everything fell into silence and stagnation, like a silhouette before eternal death.

All wind, even light, paused.

The three king territory fortresses closest to the Mo King territory were completely shrouded in the light of dusk. Although many guards had retreated as quickly as possible when the anomaly occurred, a large number of personnel were still shrouded in the light, and they stood frozen in place, as if time had stopped.

Then, as if they had been rotten to the core from the very beginning, everything turned into dust and dissipated in the wind.

However, the Yun King Territory Fortress suffered the least damage because it had been reminded beforehand, and because Yun King Bai Yuntian himself happened to be on the front line, so the retreat was the fastest.

"What, what the hell is this?!"

Although he had told his guards before that there was something important to pay attention to, Bai Yuntian, who was now worshiped by the Yun King Guards as a savior, was bewildered. After all, what he was wary of was not this at all.

In the middle of the retreat, Bai Yuntian couldn't help but turn around, staring blankly at the dim light behind him.

Although it only existed for a moment, the aura of the decline of all things, approaching the end, spread out. Even the vibrant black forest on the surface, which had not been killed by thousands of years of spiritual Qi-less environment, completely withered and decayed, turning into dust.

[This, is this the power of the Void Cult?!]

[What are they doing?]

At the same time, Thanos Tia, the ambassador of the Senos Tia civilization, who was analyzing relevant technical issues with Li Saint near the Zhumu mass accelerator, also noticed the abnormal aura located in Qingzhou next door.

This alien friend's expression suddenly changed, becoming extremely solemn: [I thought that Earth might be a Pure Land, but I didn't expect that in the Black Zone of the past, there would also be monsters like the Void Cult?]

"Void Cult? Isn't that an ancient尊主 (Zun Zhu)'s follower organization in the universe? The one on Earth shouldn't be considered the Void Cult, right?"

Li Saint, who was about to retire and give the Saint seat to Su Zhou, blinked, somewhat puzzled.

Although he could sense that the aura in the distance was extremely dangerous, especially for him, an old man who had suffered from the 'twilight of old age' before the spiritual Qi revival, the power in the light vaguely gave him a feeling of 'destined destination', making the Saint feel extremely uncomfortable.

[No, it's not the same, sir.]

Turning his head, Thane the Prophet solemnly answered Li Saint's question: [The Void Cult is different from all other mysterious organizations and evil sects that may exist in the universe... They are one.]

[As long as it is an organization composed of life, there will inevitably be internal divisions, internal factions. Separated by a few star regions, they can be divided into several different organizations. Not to mention being of one mind, even communication is a problem... This is a problem for most intergalactic organizations, and even intelligent life.]

[Even we Senos Tians have subtle factions within us due to the different living planets we were born on. There are also related conflicts of interest among the elders.]

[However, the Void Cult is different... The thoughts, goals, and even thinking algorithms of all of them have reached the highest 'consensus!' because of the evil god they worship and follow!]

Saying so, the Senos Tian even clenched his fists, not knowing whether it was because of excitement or fear: [All the followers of 'Twilight' are naturally allies. There is no gap between them, no precautions. They can always cooperate sincerely, even sacrificing themselves for their goals...]

[No, sacrificing themselves is their goal!]

[Because of this, they, who have no internal strife and power struggles, can become a super organization spanning the stars, even spreading throughout the universe, even multiple universes!]

"This, how could this be..."

Hearing this, Li Saint couldn't help but widen his eyes. He couldn't understand the existence of such an organization.

Among the major mysterious organizations on Earth, the Deep Space Callers are a one-man army, so they don't count.

Whether it is the Holy Serpent Litany or the Celestial Spirit Descent Society, they are essentially divided into various factions internally.

The Litany is distributed according to region, and the Americas and Asia are almost two different organizations with the same name. They will not join forces unless it is a major ritual.

And the Celestial Spirit Descent Society has huge gaps by nature because of the different Celestial Spirits they worship... Not to mention sincere cooperation, if they were not being besieged by the whole world, the Celestial Spirit Descent Society would have started fighting each other internally.

Mutual division and struggle is the nature of intelligent life – as long as life has a distinction between 'self' and 'others', and an awareness of 'interests' and 'benefits', it is impossible to achieve 100% cooperation.

Even if it is possible, it cannot be maintained for long.

[But the Twilight Cult is originally an organization that violates the instinct of life. They have their own destructiveness – these monsters are not afraid of death, and have no concept of interests... It is impossible to reason with them by common sense.]

The Prophet's tone had an unspeakable emotion, some resentment, some confusion, and even some fear... The ambassador said in a deep voice: [If I had to say, they are all 'mentally ill' in your Earth's words, and everyone is seriously ill!]

[More importantly, this kind of Void Cult organization is like... like your Earth's cockroaches. As long as you can see one, it means that there must be more cult members behind him. If there is one, there is a nest!]

[If it really doesn't work, they will also summon Void Cult powerhouses from other regions, even other universes, to come and support them. They are really hard to kill, and difficult to exterminate. Otherwise, we would have joined forces with other cosmic forces and the Galactic Upper Kingdom to wipe them all out!]

"So that's how it is... It seems that the situation in the Nine Xuan World is more complicated than we thought."

Li Saint also frowned at this moment. He and Prophet Thane looked together at the light of dusk spilling out from the spatial-temporal gate in Qingzhou, with worried expressions: "However, you mean that the Twilight Cult is an organization that is inherently destructive?"

"Does that mean that it is not the official power of the Nine Xuan World?"

[Of course not.]

Prophet Thane shook his head slightly, his tone heavy: [The Void Cult is just the Void Cult. They never cooperate with any organization.]

[Originally... our Senos Tia Elders originally hoped to invite Professor Su to take action, cooperate with us, and go to destroy the Void Cult's Galactic headquarters that may exist in the former parent star system of the 'Trade Alliance', and let the Earth people understand what a terrifying organization the Void Cult is, to prepare psychologically for future cooperation.]

[But now it seems that there is no need for Professor Su to go to the other end of the universe. On Earth, you can know the terror of the Void Cult.]

And while the alien ambassador was worried.

The leader of the other world was also in a state of annoyance at this moment.

[... Mo King, Ning King, and She King, all three lines of defense are completely wiped out?]

Above the two-world tidal array, on the throne in the clouds, the Xuan Emperor, who personally summoned the soldiers on the front line to inquire about the situation, did not know what to think in his heart.

But on the surface, he did have a calm tone, and did not easily get angry: [Yun King, Zhen King, and Sui King were able to save themselves because they acted quickly and were far away?]

[Then it seems that the loss is not particularly great. Although it is necessary to appease Mo King and others, at least it is not the loss of all the personal guards.]

Although the Xuan Emperor did not seem angry at the moment, the other soldiers who were being questioned were trembling with fear and sweating profusely.

Who could not be afraid?

Although the Xuan Emperor said it simply, that was thousands of elite practitioners!

Of course, there are many practitioners in the Nine Xuan World, but those are just ordinary practitioners. The monks who can become the King's Guards are elites among the elites. If you have to compare them, each of them is at least a king of soldiers in the army, and each of them has their own unique features.

Most of their cultivation bases are at the peak of the Innate Realm, and many of them are at the Human Immortal Realm, which can be called the top combat power in the Nine Xuan World.

But now, for some inexplicable reason, these elites, who are considered elites in the entire world, are all dead today, worthless, like a dream.

The Xuan Emperor is not angry?

How is that possible!

Of course, the fear of these soldiers is indeed unnecessary, because no matter how angry the Xuan Emperor is, he will not vent his anger on these ordinary front-line soldiers.

[Retreat.]

Waving his hand, the Xuan Emperor on the throne let out a breath. He dismissed several front-line soldiers who had witnessed the entire process. The Nine Xuan Emperor closed his eyes and was silent for a while.

And when he opened his eyes again, the Xuan Emperor, who was shrouded in endless power of wishes, became cold.

[Summon Chen King to the depths of the great array to meet me.]

At this time, the Xuan Emperor's tone completely became solemn and indifferent, and his self-proclaimed title also changed.

The majesty of the Emperor and the Earth Immortal was released at the same time, causing the front line, which was originally fearful and shaken by the light of dusk, to become solemn in an instant.

Soon after, Chen King, who was summoned by the Xuan Emperor, calmly arrived at the deepest part of the two-world tidal array, and knelt before the Xuan Emperor.

At this moment, all the magic weapons, spiritual weapons, and even the outer armor that served as spiritual weapons on Chen King's body were stripped off, and he only had an ordinary robe that could not be more ordinary.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Kowtowing before the array, he said respectfully: "I don't know why Your Majesty summoned this humble king?"

[Is it you who is playing tricks?]

At this moment, the Xuan Emperor's tone had become extremely cold.

Even he, who was as deep-minded and peaceful as he was, could not restrain his anger at this moment: [Chen King, this matter, did you do it?]

He stood up from the throne, looking down at Chen King kneeling on the ground, his voice rumbling like thunder: [I know, you are a pro-war faction, you are a descendant of the Celestial Venerable, you intend to return to the Celestial Heaven, seek back the lost inheritance, and regain the glory of your ancestors... In order to consolidate the rule of your Chen King Territory, you even signed a contract with an external evil god of unknown origin.]

[I have tolerated these – because you are also making choices to stabilize the overall situation of the Nine Xuan World, just like Yun King, he also has the aura of an outside god, but it is just trading with the other party, exchanging materials, so that the entire territory can develop smoothly.]

Shouting so lowly, the Xuan Emperor saw that Chen King was still silent, thinking that his words were not intense enough, and sneered: [Ending the old era of the Nine Xuan World and opening up a new future is my wish for many years. For it, I can pretend not to see many things, and condone many of your actions. Everything is to end all of this.]

[But you look at the Nine Xuan World, who is not a descendant of the Celestial Venerable Immortal Gods? Which family does not have a prominent ancestor? Even I, am I not also the bloodline of the Red Emperor, holding the Yanrong Righteous Method? Don't I want to return to the Celestial Heaven ancestral land, worship the ancestors, and return to orthodoxy?]

[Chen King, you instigated a war between the two worlds, condoned the guards to attack friendly troops, abused and killed compatriots, and even colluded with external evil gods. What should be the crime for this?!]

On the surface, he said such a passage sternly, but the Xuan Emperor was calmly waiting for Chen King to suddenly explode, show his cards, or tremble and beg for forgiveness.

The words have been said to this point, and Chen King has no reason to escape. Whether it is for authority or just for those innocent soldiers who died, as the Nine Xuan Emperor, he must personally kill the king in front of him today and declare that the entire Nine Xuan World is still in his control.

Chen King naturally understood this point, so whether it was to survive or for the final struggle, he should do something.

However, the Xuan Emperor was wrong about one thing.

Chen King never intended to survive.

Nor did he intend to struggle.

"Capital punishment, Your Majesty."

The aged feudal king straightened his back, he stood up, looked directly at the Xuan Emperor in front of him, and a long-lost trace of real smile appeared on his face: "I should die."

"Finally able to get rid of the shackles – finally this moment has arrived."

[What?]

For a moment, even the Xuan Emperor did not understand Chen King's logic. He had never seen someone who could say 'I should die' so happily and so relieved.

In his eyes as a 'normal person', everything should have a purpose and meaning.

Chen King's actions were all to provoke a war between the two worlds, so that he, as a pro-war faction, could live with greater power, and so that the almost completely militarized Chen King Territory could alleviate internal disputes and transfer contradictions.

As long as the war started, he would be the winner, as for what would happen to the Nine Xuan World after the war... Anyway, it would be better than now.

He even felt that Chen King might want to take advantage of the revival of spiritual Qi and the greatly increased strength of the feudal kings, so he wanted to independently establish the Chen King Territory, and maybe he could surrender to the Celestial Heaven at that time, winning twice in one war.

But the Xuan Emperor guessed wrong.

And obviously, Chen King had no intention of explaining.

The old man, who had wasted his life, finally waited for the revival of spiritual Qi, but had no joy or dissatisfaction, but was full of emptiness, closed his eyes.

"Everything is just a cage."

"Anything that exists is in a cage, like a trapped toy, at a loss and meaningless."

"The birth of all living beings is meaningless, and can even be said to be a mistake. On the contrary, complete death is the real liberation."

Opening his eyes, he looked at the Xuan Emperor, with a trace of pity and unbearableness in his eyes: "Your Majesty, the emperors of the past, have struggled for thousands of years, until now... In the final analysis, they are just a small jailer."

"What is the meaning of such hardship, struggling in a cage with this group of Nine Xuan people who are destined to perish in the future?"

"It is better to return and make a truly 'free' and 'correct' choice."

[... You're crazy.]

Realizing that the person in front of him could no longer communicate at all, the Xuan Emperor couldn't help but take a deep breath and slowly clenched his right hand: [Chen King, I don't know when you went crazy, but if you want to die and feel that your life is meaningless, just die yourself.]

[Why involve other innocent soldiers who still want to live?!]

To this, Chen King did not reply, he just calmly stared at the Xuan Emperor in front of him.

And the Xuan Emperor was disappointed.

Therefore, blazing fire began to shine around him, the power of the Celestial Emperor-level cultivation method [Yanrong Light Shines the True Spirit in the World] was in operation, turning extreme heat and divine light into scarlet-gold armor, covering his body.

Now, it is the time when the two worlds are testing each other. The destruction of the three kings territories on the front line has opened a gap in the Nine Xuan World's defense line. Whether it is war or stalemate, the Nine Xuan World has completely lost the initiative, and even the two-world tidal array cannot guarantee safety, and many soldiers are feeling uneasy and fearful because of the sudden destruction in the distance.

As a leader, the Xuan Emperor must suppress all disobedience with the fastest speed and the most ruthless means.

And there is nothing that can shock disobedience more than the head of a feudal king who committed rebellion.

The restless power was surging, as turbulent as the corona waves churning on a star. When the Xuan Emperor, a high-level Earth Immortal, made a move in anger, the surface of the Nine Xuan World seemed to have a small sun, and a scorching wind rose suddenly, sweeping hundreds of miles around. All the spiritual Qi seemed to be penetrated by the scarlet-gold light, ignited, and could not be used by other beings.

——Yanrong Righteous Method, Light Shines the World, True Spirit Returns to One, Only the Dao is Venerable——

A strong wind rose, and the smell of ashes and dust spread, covering the previous twilight silence.

The world suddenly became smaller, especially for Chen King.

Because a giant palm releasing the light of a star was pressing down on his head, like the collapse of the sky and the fall of celestial stars, full of destruction and punishment.

As Chen King at the peak of the Human Immortal realm, he had no resistance against the power of the Earth Immortal.

However, facing such a desperate situation, the old man who followed the dusk laughed.

"Life cannot dominate its own birth, but it can dominate its own return. This is freedom in unfreedom, correctness in incorrectness."

Facing the Xuan Emperor's angry blow, Chen King just opened his arms, calmly and joyfully saying: "And I, it is now."

Then, before the giant palm fell, his body shattered layer by layer. The old body did not seem to be composed of flesh and blood, but of some kind of unknown substance, the outer shell that concealed Chen King's inhuman essence.

If Su Zhou were here, he would be shocked to realize that this scene was abnormally like the scene when he first saw the Twilight True Demon, seeing it devouring the souls of ordinary people, using the true spirit as a shell to conceal its 'True Demon' essence.

——If what he saw at the beginning was just a newly born larva... then what exists here now is a truly mature, even complete, Twilight True Demon!

A ball of dim yellow light emerged from Chen King's body, releasing an empty and obscure aura.

And the Xuan Emperor's Yanrong Dharma Seal had already been pressed down. Facing this ball of light, which he did not know what it was, but was obviously not a good thing, he certainly would not hold back.

The Net World Flame could burn even divine gold to ashes. Coupled with the powerful divine power inherited from the ancient尊主 (Zun Zhu), the Emperor believed that even a Celestial Venerable magic weapon, if no one held and controlled it, would be seriously damaged when facing his blow.

But, what if, some people's existence itself is expecting to be destroyed?

At the moment when the dim yellow light was swallowed by the scarlet-gold flame, a light burst out.

For a time, all the Nine Xuan people who sensed the uneasy aura raised their heads and looked at the top of their heads.

And there, between heaven and earth.

A ray of twilight light stood upright, like a sharp sword, and like a towering tower.

It pierced through the sky, the earth, and even the void of the universe, coming from the end of endless distant space-time, spanning infinite distances.

Faintly, one could hear Chen King's last laughing voice.

"—Dusk has arrived."

"This is the time of the end."

And at this moment.

The other end of the universe.

In the vast star field where subspace and the real universe overlap, a dim red giant star shone with an obscure light.

It slowly rotated, causing a large amount of superheated stellar gas to overflow, turning the entire star field into an extremely desolate place. All the celestial bodies that approached it were scorched by the high-temperature stellar airflow, and the surface turned into a melting furnace.

From a distance, it looked as if the entire star field was shrouded in a dim yellow veil.

However, on the planetary orbit of this red giant star, there was an 'artificial celestial body' completely composed of machinery, which did not change at all even when scorched by high heat, quietly suspended, and releasing a faint silver spiritual energy glow.

Trade Alliance, Central Main Star System – Capital Main Star [Trade Hub].

On the giant mechanical planet with a diameter of 60,420 kilometers, there were continuous spiritual energy pulses flashing. Even though it had been silent for thousands of years due to the spiritual Qi severance and the arrival of the silent era, this man-made star was still intact, as beautiful, solid, and indestructible as the city of the celestial gods in dreams.

And at this moment, a dim yellow light lit up from a certain place on this celestial body.

As if it were a summon, or a hint.

[In the third spiral arm of the galaxy, there is a ritual of descent. A fellow believer self-destructs, calling for reinforcements.]

Above the celestial body, several powerful and indifferent consciousnesses were communicating with each other. As spiritual energy flashed, huge amounts of information were transmitted, explaining the comparative strength of the Nine Xuan World and Earth, as well as various data: [A pure destruction mission, provoking a war between the Celestial Heaven and the Nine Xuan World, or directly destroying them.]

[Who will go?]

[——I have to be responsible for destroying the Tri-Heng civilization in the Laria star field, and I can't spare time for the time being.]

[——I am destroying the ninth mother nest of the subspace ephemeral insect race, and the battle is fierce.]

[——Cleaning up the native civilization in the Afron Nebula.]

The same indifferent voices sounded, seemingly perfunctory, but all made accurate responses.

And if other galactic forces heard this conversation, they would definitely be shocked.

Because the several objects in this conversation are fundamentally unrelated, and their camps and origins are all strange and varied.

The Laria Tri-Heng civilization was a well-known interstellar civilization before the silent era. They advocated independence from star region disputes, living their own lives, and had always been on the edge of the galactic civilization stage. They were quite unknown, but had considerable strength, second only to the powerful civilizations of the several Upper Kingdoms.

At the beginning, a regional star area overlord wanted to provoke the Tri-Heng civilization, completely rule the surrounding starry sky, and try to achieve the conditions for advancing to the Upper Kingdom. However, the mother star of the Tri-Heng civilization, which usually had no sense of existence, was broken, and even the sun of the mother star was turned into a Dyson sphere.

The subspace ephemeral insect race, on the other hand, is a true cosmic race whose nests are all over multiple galaxies, and it is estimated that they are distributed throughout the observable universe. They travel between galaxies through subspace passages, and their nests are also located in subspace. They can be regarded as a cosmic disaster, and isolated civilizations are often destroyed and eaten clean by them.

During the silent era, the ephemeral insect race temporarily disappeared, but after the return of spiritual energy, these cosmic pests reappeared, causing many civilizations that originally thought they were extinct to have a headache.

As for the native civilization in the Afron Nebula, no one had ever heard of it. It is likely that it is a primitive civilization that has just appeared in the past few thousand years.

But even so, it is still regarded as a target by these voices, and its destruction is carried out carefully.

However, this is not surprising.

Because, whether it is good or evil, strong or weak, ancient or young, primitive or advanced.

The Void Cult treats them all equally.

Anything that has meaning and existence is their goal.

[Accept the mission.]

After asking a few voices, there was no reply. After a while, a voice finally sounded, with a rumbling hum, seemingly the tremor in the current: [Request, the strength of the target... whether the highest does not exceed the fifth-level spiritual energy user.]

[It is possible that an α-level spiritual energy user will appear. According to the records of the cult members who requested assistance, that is a descendant of an extremely developed super spiritual energy civilization. It is not ruled out that there are α-level, or even Ω-level relics in their cards.]

[Or rather, there should be. It would be strange if there were none.]

[Okay. Information has been collected, start analysis... analysis completed.]

The asking voice was very cautious and did not have any contemptuous meaning, but the answering voice was very quick and did not hesitate in the slightest because of the strength of the enemy: [Depart.]

At the moment when the voice of 'Depart' sounded, endless dim yellow light lit up on the huge mechanical celestial body, like a lighthouse that penetrated into the depths of the universe.

Then, the light dimmed.

There was no nonsense or waste of efficiency.

The being who accepted the mission has already started to jump, heading to the other end of time and space.

The third spiral arm of the galaxy, the solar system, the Earth-Moon system, Earth.

May 1, 2019.

Late at night.

On the beach along the coast of the South China Sea, a seemingly ordinary couple was strolling along the shore at night, looking at the bright moon and the璀璨 (cui can, brilliant) starry sky, talking and laughing softly.

At this moment, it could be seen that on the side that was releasing the light yellow moonlight, there was a rainbow halo that was brighter than the moonlight that was slowly expanding and rising slowly.

There were also other tourists strolling around the beach. Most of them raised their heads in amazement, pointing to the sky and exclaiming.

In response, the couple was quite emotional.

"Hey, how could our son turn into a tree?"

Su Mu (Su's mother) Ning Shiyu sighed, her tone not proud or worried. The lady, who was already a senior professor, looked at the halo on the moon, and her mind couldn't help but imagine her son's hearty smile, as well as the strange sacred tree warship he was now.

Immediately, she sighed again: "It's all your old Su family's Ying Long bloodline. It's your fault that our son has become so strange!"

"No, our Su family's Ying Long bloodline is so thin that it is almost non-existent. The probability of that kid awakening is almost zero. What's more, what does his current appearance have to do with Ying Long!"

Su Fu (Su's father) Su Beiluo immediately cried out in injustice. He, who had been in Hongzhou to deal with transcendent cases recently, finally took a vacation and brought his wife to the South China Sea to travel. He also planned to go to the Tianchi Realm in a while to enjoy an ecological alien world tour and a world for two.

But who knew that his son released too much light on the back of the moon. As a light bulb, he was too qualified. Anyone who came out at night could see him in half of the earth.

Similar topics had been said three or four times, and Su Beiluo had a headache every time, not knowing how to explain that Su Zhou's current forms had nothing to do with him at all. He was the biological father of a certain Celestial Immortal, but he would not turn into a dragon, a bird, or a tree and a warship.

This is probably also the difficulty of the Zhu Zhou bloodline – as the parents of Zhu Zhou, it is always very hard, and they will even doubt the source of their bloodline.

And at this moment, Su Mu, who couldn't help but raise her head and look at the halo on the moon, suddenly paused and exclaimed softly: "Hey, Dad – look!"

"What is that child doing? Why is the light on the moon getting brighter and brighter?"

"Who knows..." In response, Su Fu, who raised his head and widened his eyes to look at the moon, but couldn't see anything clearly, was naturally also confused. He shook his head and said helplessly: "Anyway, it's not strange what our son does... Huh?!"

Halfway through the conversation, Su Fu also exclaimed.

"What... is that kid doing?"

Because, on the back of the moon, a stream of light that was solid and rapidly spreading towards the depths of the universe suddenly lit up, extending into the deep darkness.

Although this light stream, which was like a sharp sword and pierced towards an unknown place, suddenly cut off in the middle after extending for a while, Su Fu and Su Mu, who had traveled to other worlds several times, knew that it should be the reason why the spatial-temporal gate was opened and the light stream crossed the space.

As for where that spatial-temporal gate leads to...

This question, no one can answer for the time being.

Solar System, Jupiter orbit.

Because of the influence of the hundreds of spatial-temporal gates and the convective flow of spiritual energy between multiple realms around the Earth, the entire solar system, except for a small area in the Earth-Moon system and the Jupiter orbit, which is slightly calm due to the influence of this gaseous giant star, the sub-space orbital movement and spiritual energy jump from the outside cannot be used as a target.

In other words, if a visitor from another star wants to reach the Earth through unconventional navigation methods, the place where it appears, except for the Earth-Moon area with the most stringent defense, is only around the Jupiter orbit.

And at this moment, along with a dark-gold spatial-temporal gate suddenly opened, a strange and huge figure emerged from the other end of time and space.

If you look closely, you can realize that it is a strange warship that presents a sphere. Its body is covered with various hideous armor, and countless gun ports and weapon racks are laid out on every part of its body in an unaesthetic but extremely reasonable manner.

It is like a killing machine cast by destruction, and it is full of the taste of destruction, extinction, and killing.

Just like its origin.
