Monsters Will Die if They Are Killed

Before answering Han Shiling's question, Su Zhou was actually thinking about a rather serious question.

That is, the realm of gods and demons in the perfect world is different from the 'celestial beings' and 'immortal realm' that he imagined in the earth and universe.

Overlord Earth Immortal, Immortal Heavenly Immortal, Creator Heavenly Lord. Corresponding to the realm of real people, gods, demons and emperors here.

——Heaven, the top, is the highest, from the first level.

——Immortal, endless, everlasting, everlasting.

The supreme and everlasting immortal god is the deity.

Every immortal immortal is a unique immortal existence, worthy of a proper name to describe it.

Similar strong men, even if they practice the same technique and have similar life experiences, will have their own unique life forms after becoming immortals due to various personal factors and even the origin of their true spirits.

Just like Suzaku Yan Chili, if her Xuanzhen Lihuo body is achieved, she can completely break away from the shackles of the 'Suzaku' clan and create a new extraordinary creature race 'Xuanzhen Lihuo', the ancestor of the clan. .

Although except for herself, the new Xuanzhen Lihuo Bird is unlikely to be stronger than the ordinary Suzaku, but it adds a whole new possibility to the Suzaku family.

If her strength goes even further, then an entire world or even an ecosystem can evolve with it as the center.

And this is the basic requirement for the realm of ‘Creator’ and ‘Tianzun’.

——Even if it is just a drop of blood, this drop of blood can absorb the free energy in the world to improve itself, strengthen it, and become a brand new life.

Even just the existence itself, its breath can permeate all things, causing all the lives in the world to spontaneously transform into dependent families attached to him.

Therefore, he is called the Lord of Creation, the Lord of Heaven and Earth.

all in all.

Theoretically speaking, it is impossible for identical immortals to exist in the world.

However, the gods and demons in the perfect world gave Su Zhou a feeling of being 'similar but slightly different'.

No matter whether it was the heavenly demons that attacked and were defeated in a series before, or the heavenly punishment blow from the coordinated efforts of all the stars later, they never brought any essential difference to Su Zhou.

"It can't be said to be exactly the same, but it looks like it came out of the same mold and has just been fine-tuned..."

Thinking like this, Su Zhou was actually quite confused in his heart. He whispered to himself: "Moreover, the strength of the God Emperor and Demon King is much stronger than that of ordinary gods and demons, and even a bit unlike them." There is a poor comparison between the Great Heavenly Lord' and ordinary 'celestial beings'."

"Yara, what is going on? Do you have any idea?"

"You've already guessed it. Do you still want to ask me?"

Facing Su Zhou's daily inquiries about external search engines, Snake Spirit sighed and responded: "Just as you thought before. A powerful existence can influence a weak existence, just like the existence of a creator, it can It affects a world, just like the Banyan Tree of Immortality, the Prajapati tree in your Beast God Realm."

"However, the god emperors and demon kings in this world are obviously powerful enough to affect other immortals, not just ordinary lives."

"Powerful enough to influence immortal immortals?"

Hearing this, even the flight trajectory of the divine bird trembled slightly, almost deviating from its trajectory. Han Shiling, who was holding it under him, shook violently and almost fell off his claws.

Although Su Zhou quickly returned to normal, it was enough to prove his shock: "Unexpectedly, even the immortals can be affected? Then how strong must the emperor of this place be?!"

"As far as I know, even the Great Heavenly Lord is unlikely to influence other immortals! At most, it can only make the gods feel enlightened when they preach!"

"The Earth universe, perhaps indeed."

In response to Su Zhou's shock and confusion, Yala did not answer the question directly.

He just followed Su Zhou's gaze and stared at the twinkling stars in the sky. Snake Spirit shook his head in a rather intriguing tone: "And in this perfect world... Oh, you have to know that the family structure of great beings is different. .”

Withdrawing his gaze, Yara hovered next to a spiritual plant planted by evil spirits, stirring the grass blades with his tail. He said calmly: "Perfect and I both like to choose an individual to develop as a family, and our family , most of his daily action patterns are close to those of a lone ranger, and he is used to fighting alone... Don’t look around, I’m talking about you.”

"As for the families of the sacred trees, you also know very well that they are calculated in terms of the world. Although each sacred tree is their core family, the only thing that can fully explain the way of the sacred trees is the ecology of the world itself, and It’s not a single sacred tree.”

"As for other great beings, their families also have their own characteristics. You will understand when you see them in the future."

After saying this, Snake Spirit pondered for a while: "As for the immortals and gods in this world, it is indeed strange. In my opinion, they are not a single great being, but a cluster influenced by multiple great beings."

"So, I can't say which great existence influenced them and made them what they are now - and the factors that influenced them, including me, are at least more than five."

"Really... Indeed, if there is a great being behind the blessing, it is not surprising that it can influence the immortals."

Nodding slightly and acknowledging Yala's statement, Su Zhou couldn't help thinking: "I do remember Ming Zhengde once said to me that at the beginning of the Age of Gods and Demons, it was the Emperor of Taichu who conferred the title of god, which led to the current Immortal God Realm. The prototype...could it be said that this conferring of gods is the method used by the Taichu Heavenly Emperor to influence the immortals and gods?"

"What about that demon? All demons use the thoughts of sentient beings to sublimate themselves, and each one only controls a part of it, not all of it. Theoretically, this path should be controlled by one existence to make it more powerful and spread out. , but there are flaws.”

"It's impossible for the gods and demons not to know what I know. If that's the case, what's the purpose of them still deciding to do this?"

Everything has a purpose.

During the three thousand years of the Warring States Period, the king was controlled by gods and demons and became the agent of the struggle.

Gods and demons conquer each other in order to determine the orthodoxy of the world and grasp the future destiny.

And what is the purpose of the Heavenly Emperor Demon Lord who controls the gods and demons to take such action?

The world is in chaos due to gods and demons. If you want to achieve peace, you must understand the goals of gods and demons, the purpose of the Emperor of Heaven and the Lord of Demons.

"As expected of the original world, the information of many great beings is entangled. The situation is really complicated."

Thinking of this, Su Zhou took out a long breath and sighed: "I don't know how many great beings have affected our earth and universe?"

"How many?"

Snake Spirit was stunned for a moment, then chuckled: "Su Zhou, are you underestimating the earth? That is the world where the great seal subject was in the past, and its status is not lower than that of the original world. If you can influence it so easily , then we would have broken free from the seal and become free."

"In your world, great beings are just various illusory information projections. It is completely impossible to have a situation like the original world, where the whole is affected by the information of great beings - and if it is to be affected, it will be affected by all great beings at the same time. It’s meaningless to get entangled with each other.”

This time, Yara's tone was solemn: "But, because of this, you can go your own way and not just become the shadow of a powerful existence."

"...Haha, this does sound like what 'Chaos' would say. Thank you very much."

Hearing this, the young man was stunned for a moment, then smiled and thanked, making the snake spirit snort. Now, Su Zhou can roughly understand the current situation.

This Tianyuan world seems to be a situation where gods and demons secretly conquer the three realms of the Nine Netherworlds and Mortal Realms, using the mortal world as their proxy.

But in fact, it is probably just the result of the game between the two peak gods, the 'Emperor of Heaven' and the 'Devil Lord'.

Perhaps, those who play chess should also add 'Ming Zhengde', the Five Virtues Saint Emperor who apparently has a 'perfect imprint' and has been reborn thirty thousand times, and himself, Lu Jian from other universes with the help of the God's scale. Be the injustice.

Although the only chess pieces Ming Zhengde and he can control are themselves, at least they can see through the truth behind the complex situation.

——The world is nothing but a chessboard, with chess players playing chess against each other, and gods, demons, and all people being chess pieces.

Among them, the only ones who really care about the survival of all living beings in this world...maybe he and Ming Zhengde are the only ones.

Thinking of this, Su Zhou couldn't help but lower his head.

He looked at the land.

Nanze Prefecture is primitive and wild. Except for a few cities on the edge that serve as the base for human development, the rest of the area is full of mountains and forests.

The barren mountains and ridges where Su Zhou was located were surrounded by various powerful monsters that he had killed before, and there were not even ordinary villages.

Therefore, although the natural punishment just now was extremely powerful and affected thousands of miles of land, causing many permanent changes in the landform and destruction, it did not affect any ordinary people.

"Speaking of which, Han Shiling, the penalty hit just now killed you, right?"

At this moment, Su Zhou focused his attention on Han Shiling, who was 'hijacked' by himself under his claws in the form of a divine bird: "I can actually guarantee your safety, for example, put you in your personal space before the divine punishment comes. As long as I don't die, you can't die - but Nan Zhengkai doesn't know this."

When the young man said this, he did not mean to stir up dissension, but simply stated the truth.

Nan Zhengkai indeed launched the attack very decisively, without any regard for the safety of Han Shiling who was still sending intelligence to him.

Such cruelty is worthy of a leader's decision.

However, unexpectedly, Han Shiling's reaction was far calmer than Su Zhou expected.

"Nothing strange."

At this moment, the middle-aged man had already escaped from the shock of Su Zhou's defeat of Tianpu. The slightly tired intelligence worker smiled wryly and sat cross-legged on Su Zhou's paws: "Master Zhu Zhou, your The power has reached the limit of this world, and further up, there are gods and demons, and they also hold the prototype of a Taoist weapon in their hands."

"Such an existence as an enemy is very terrifying. Even if I make the decision myself, if it is to eliminate you, even if it is at my expense, it is completely acceptable."

Speaking of this, the middle-aged intelligence chief even laughed: "Speaking of which, Master Zhu Zhou, do you know what you defeated before?"

"That is the divine punishment guided by the 'Heaven and Earth Astrolabe', one of the most powerful magic weapons given to the leader by the immortal gods. In the distant past, the immortal gods used it to eliminate the incarnations of other demons who came to the world, or those who violated the will of the immortal gods. One of the last resorts to disobey the real person.”

"At the beginning, the leader planned to use this heaven and earth astrolabe on His Majesty the Holy Emperor...but later the immortal gods turned to support the new dynasty. Even if he used the heaven and earth astrolabe to borrow power from the stars, there would be no response, and other immortal gods gave him The same goes for the magic weapon."

"But Master Zhu Zhou, you are different - you are not a member of the new dynasty, you are an independent individual, an anomaly in the world... Therefore, they will use all these powerful weapons on you Bar."

The so-called anomalies are those with powerful power and unknown motives that are enough to change the situation and change plans.

Such anomalies are the biggest threat to any leader with precise planning and arrangements. They must either be recruited or eliminated.

Ming Zhengde and Nan Zhengkai made different choices.

"But at the end of the day, you're still seen as expendable."

Listening to Han Shiling's calm and ruthless analysis, Su Zhou also answered calmly.

The divine bird broke through the atmosphere, and he opened up a vacuum track with the Lan species, bringing out a long cloud track behind him that was so obvious that even a mortal could easily follow it, and then flew towards his goal at super high speed: "If , Nan Zhengkai really has such charm that you are willing to sacrifice, why would you choose to go to Ming Zhengde?"

"...I can only say that at least at the beginning, the leader really cared about the common people."

Han Shiling was silent for a while. He sat on the claws of the divine bird, closed his eyes and whispered softly: "His dream is to become a Tianyuan Human Emperor who puts humanity first like his ancestors who built the Qingxiao Zhengyang Ruler in the past, and even to a high-ranking emperor. In the sky, there is the 'Ziwei Xingjun' who is responsible for commanding all living beings in this world."

"That is an extremely lofty wish, almost impossible to achieve, but even so, we are willing to follow him in these troubled times."

"But he has changed. Ever since he came into contact with gods and demons, the leader I followed has changed..."

Opening his eyes and staring at the emerald green world speeding past, the intelligence leader of the Zhengyang Kingdom murmured in a complex tone: "I don't regret it. Whether it was betraying the leader and supporting the Holy Emperor, or being treated as a victim by the leader. . This is the path I chose."

"If I had died like this before under heaven's punishment, at least I would have had a name of loyalty and would not have become a traitor to Zhengyang. But now that I am alive, I can at least serve the Holy Emperor and you, the real person. Make a contribution.”

Green-gold meteors flew across the sky and earth.

After a long silence, the distant coast could already be seen.

The divine bird, always doubtful, asked the final question.

"So, you feel that such a change is not correct."

"The magical bird that changed the world... Many times, change is not for progress, but for compromise."

In response, Han Shiling sighed and responded: "In the face of more powerful existences, few people can maintain their original appearance... so, 'change'."

"O divine bird that symbolizes change, don't you know these best?"

Hearing this, Su Zhou nodded thoughtfully.

He didn't reply.

The divine bird flies like a shooting star.

According to the intelligence given by Han Shiling before, Su Zhoujian had followed the nearest path and arrived at his original target.

The coast of Nanzezhou and the edge of Nanyunhai.

The secret realm that breeds the prison-suppressing magic iron, the place where the "Prison Sea Desperate Realm" is located.

There, endless black-gray mist lingers over the land, and the precipitous valleys and sharp raised scars are so precipitous, like shadows that have lingered since ancient times, washed out by the sorrow and tears of endless beings. scars.

at the same time.

The first year of the New Calendar is October 21st.

Southern Continent, on the edge of Zhengyang Kingdom’s new dynasty border.

The cold and fierce wind blew amid the roar of the waves, and heavy rain swept across the sea and sky with a rolling gray haze.

This is the most common weather in the Southern Prison Sea. Since the continent sank 400,000 years ago, there has been an eternal gloomy wind lingering here. The wails of the dead beings in the world turned into thunder and continued in the clouds and rain.

Even the divine bird is unwilling to come here and have its soul eroded by the cold and desperate thoughts.

However, in the heavy rain, there was a man with green hair and red eyes standing in mid-air, looking up at the sky, his eyes burning with no emotion.

The man was wearing a battle armor that looked to be quite old. There were all kinds of magic weapons and magic weapons blooming with magical light around his waist. Even on the battle armor, there were many newly engraved divine patterns and talismans.

He was holding his helmet in one hand, and in the other was a seemingly ordinary long ruler with a green background and red stripes. There was a crystal light flowing on it, and he could vaguely hear chants like the prayers of all people.

Underfoot, the sea was rippling, and seven real people who were also wearing armor, but looked confused and didn't know what to say now, stood behind the man with green hair and red eyes. They all had the coat of arms of the Zhengyang Kingdom. The leader of the corresponding department or the general in the army is the confidant of a country.

The rain was pouring, but it was silent. No one dared, or no one knew what to say at this time.

Until finally, behind the man with green hair and red eyes, a real person who seemed to be the leader finally couldn't help but speak.

"The leader..."

This real person has a righteous face and looks in his prime, but his beard and hair are all white, making him look very old.

He took a step forward and said in an extremely confused tone: "Are you really... planning to go against Zhu Zhou alone?"

The real person's voice broke through the rain curtain. Even if there was thunder in the clouds, it did not affect the clarity of his voice.

Therefore, the man who was called the leader, the leader of the Zhengyang Kingdom, and the emperor who did not claim to be the emperor, Nan Zhengkai turned his head and calmly looked at the seven leaders of the relevant departments of the Zhengyang Kingdom behind him.

"certainly."

He said indifferently, gently waving the Qingxiao Zhengyang Ruler in his hand: "Otherwise, when the battle between me and Zhu Zhou reaches a critical point, will I give you a chance to switch sides?"

boom!

Another thunder burst.

The expressions of the seven real people were horrified. They suddenly felt their scalps numb. The tyrannical pressure from the 'Tao soldiers' and the peak of the real people came towards their faces, causing a shuddering chill that was almost equivalent to death to rise from their tailbones. Straight to the top of the head.

But after all, they were all real people, and they all calmed down quickly. The white-haired general among them was about to explain again, but was interrupted by the man in advance.

"No need to explain, Luonan, I know you are loyal, but the people in your family may not be so... You want to say that you don't know? This is ridiculous. You are only of Canghe blood, and you are not really over a thousand years old. , Is it possible that my old eyesight is still dim?”

With a chuckle, Nan Zhengkai shook his head and said, "You may not have instructions to contact the Xinchao, but you are definitely happy to see it happen."

"You don't want to betray me and Zhengyang's centuries-old foundation, but you don't want to let future generations fall into the quagmire - it's human nature, and I won't blame you."

"This, but... alas..."

Immediately, the white-haired general named Luonan opened his mouth and seemed to want to defend himself.

But in the end, he could only remain silent and retreat.

"Of course I know that not everyone betrays Zhengyang."

Not paying attention to the atmosphere that had become very delicate, the man said: "And I also know that even if it is betrayal, you are just exchanging a little information to find a way out for the future... I understand your thoughts."

Nan Zhengkai's tone was extremely calm, without any anger: "Facing the new dynasty, we have no need to resist...Actually, I think the same as you, but the goals we face are different."

Turning his head, the man was not afraid that one of the seven real people behind him whose aura had suddenly changed would attack him sneakily.

He even closed his eyes.

"Let's go back and work hard."

"In the name of Qingxiao Zhengyang, I will not pursue any further charges."

He said so.

There was another long silence.

Rain falls, waves rise, thunder roars, and clouds surge.

"Chief, I admit that I did secretly communicate with the new dynasty. I also admit that you will punish me when you go back now, but now... don't force it!"

"There is no need to forcefully exterminate that Zhu Zhou. Such anomalies are so powerful. How about we ask the Queen of Gods and Demons for instructions and wait for them to send down their divine thoughts?"

"Chief...hey, I..."

Suddenly, a voice of admonishment sounded.

But Nan Zhengkai did not turn around or open his eyes.

His attitude has been very obvious.

At this point, no more needs to be said.

"The leader... take care of yourself."

As a result, the seven real people bowed their heads to Nan Zhengkai in silence and saluted.

Then it turned into a stream of light and fled towards the Zhengyang Kingdom behind it.

Everyone dispersed.

The wind was howling, and in the rain, Nan Zhengkai opened his eyes and let the rain fall from the gaps in his armor.

In his eyes, there was no betrayal of anger, sadness, or any emotion that could be called fluctuations.

The man knew very well that the thoughts of his subordinates and friends were actually very simple.

——They are just scared.

Because he was afraid of the power of the new dynasty, afraid of Ming Zhengde who could withstand the innate formation with one person, eight peak masters and a Taoist soldier, and afraid of the name of orthodoxy that was approved by the gods.

Because he is afraid of the power of Zhu Zhou, afraid of the spiritual power that can easily resist the punishment of heaven, and even reverse the light of punishment, which in turn will collapse the punishment of heaven itself and turn into a rain of light all over the sky.

Because I want to exist, I want to live, I want to continue ‘life’.

So fear, fear, don't want to face, don't want to face your own vulnerability.

Then, compromise, change, and 'betray' the existing path.

Just like myself...because of knowing, I am afraid.

Because he knew how powerful gods and demons were, he finally made a completely different decision than he had in the past.

——The way of reform is not only a simple good change, but also compromise for the sake of "better" and destruction for the sake of "better".

As for what is better…

Isn’t this something that free mind can realize?

"Qingxiaozhengyang..."

Holding the magic ruler in hand, one can feel the endless majestic power in it.

Nan Zhengkai raised his head, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the clouds and mist, looking directly at the three thousand stars high in the sky and beyond the void.

The man whispered to himself: "How can the stars in the sky be compared to the artificial stars on the ground?"

"My way is correct, I firmly believe in this... But if I am wrong, will these billions of Zhengyang remnants follow my mistakes and perish?"

This is impossible.

If we can make such a decisive choice, we will not make any compromise measures.

"So, you cowards who are more cowardly than me, don't go with me to conquer the Zhuzhu Divine Bird... Even if an accident happens, at least you will maintain the humane inheritance of Zhengyang Kingdom... so that it will not be cut off. "

With a long sigh, Nan Zhengkai put on his helmet, hiding his face.

On his left hand, an astrolabe condensed by dots of starlight once again appeared.

Using the astrolabe as a guide, he looked into the distance, looking in the direction where Su Zhou was now, and his eyes hardened: "The punishment from the heaven and earth astrolabe is actually useless. No wonder the candle day bird will be attacked by both gods and demons." Ordered to be exterminated - if a catastrophe is imminent, then this candlelight must be one of the signs of the end!"

"In the past, great catastrophes were coming together in the two southeastern continents. If the Central Continent also suffered from this disaster..."

He let out a long breath and his expression darkened.

At this moment, Nan Zhengkai could still see the guidance message that Han Shiling had refreshed again.

After hearing the information reported by the other party, his expression became complicated again.

"Shi Ling...are you still reporting?"

He is really...very loyal.

Is this true even if you choose to sacrifice him?

The man sighed, he couldn't help but recall the past.

——At that time, the youth was full of energy.

A young man who was born with a vision and thought he was the reincarnation of a powerful man, in order to explore the legendary Nanshan underground palace, recruited a group of equally brave men from the Warring States Period who regarded life and death as nothing. Just like that, he laughed and roared towards a goal that was so slim that he didn't even know whether it was true or false.

At that time, they will not despair, hesitate, fear difficulties, risks and costs. Naturally, even if they encounter difficulties and dangers, they will work hard to get through it. Everyone supports each other and can walk thousands of miles in wind and rain, just for a promise.

Therefore, they passed through the cold pond, built mountain roads, slayed evil spirits, crossed the heavenly pass, and then went deep into the ancient tombs hundreds of thousands of years ago. After passing many tests, they obtained Tao soldiers that were unique in the world and could dominate the world.

Immediately afterwards... it was time to raise armies, conquer, establish a country, put an end to troubled times, and achieve peace.

This is an incredibly heroic story.

Until the end - these men knew the truth of the world.

But at that time, those heroic men who were not afraid of life and death in the past had changed drastically.

Some of them became cautious, some became deep-tempered, and some became majestic and indifferent.

Some even become cowardly, timid, and even inferior.

But the same thing is that it is impossible for them to devote all their efforts and fight for the "insignificant future" and "the goal that is not known to be true or false" like they did in the past.

They act with great care, with families, subordinates, and people who don't care or care following behind them.

So, it’s rare to even smile.

"Why, Ming Zhengde, why can you become the Holy Queen of Humanity and still move forward without hesitation..."

"Are there really people who are born with knowledge? Are there really people who can see the road ahead clearly and are never confused?!"

When he thought of this, Nan Zhengkai came back to his senses.

He couldn't help but clenched the handle of the Taoist weapon in his hand, gritted his teeth and said, "Why do I always recall these things...is this the feeling of guilt?"

"Damn it, I, the executioner with my hands full of blood, do I deserve to feel guilty?"

Shaking his head, Nan Zhengkai took a deep breath to calm his thoughts.

He looked at the information sent by Han Shiling again.

Then frowned.

"Is this...the desperate situation of the Prison Sea? The nameless real person who is about to become Ziwei Xingjun suppresses the restricted area of ​​heaven and earth formed by many evil spirits in the Southern Prison Sea?"

"Could it be said that the purpose of this divine bird Zhu Zhou is to be a spiritual creature bred in the desperate situation of the Hell Sea?"

——In the past, the land of Nanzhou sank, evil spirits appeared, and the coast of Zhongzhou turned into a hell. Even in the daytime, bones would rise, and resentful souls would fly across the sky, making people feel like they were in hell.

However, at that time, Central Continent was also suffering from catastrophe, and no one cared about the disaster that seemed to only happen in a corner.

Only an unknown real person saw this and knew that if these billions of resentful souls were not suppressed, the south of Central Continent would become a real disaster in the future.

Therefore, he used his body to suppress the prison.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and his legend has long been forgotten, but there are still relevant records in ancient history books, and they are even called the incarnation of a certain 'Ziwei Star Lord' who descended to the mortal world in the past, or perhaps the A real person who was about to ascend to heaven, but gave up becoming a god due to this calamity and stayed in the world.

And the place where he used to transform into a formation to conquer evil and suppress demons has now become a desperate restricted area shrouded in black mist, feared by the world.

But no matter who it is, they all know that within the restricted area, there must be something divine.

It’s not just Ming Zhengde and Nan Zhengkai.

As the intelligence leader of Zhengyang Kingdom, Han Shiling naturally knew this very well.

However, he expressed doubts about the 'prison-suppressing and demon-suppressing iron' mentioned by Su Zhou.

"Could it be said that this divine object conceived in the desperate situation of the prison sea is a piece of divine iron?"

At this moment, under the full flight of the divine bird, Su Zhou and Han Shiling had arrived at the end of Nanze Prefecture, on the coast of the South Prison Sea, at the edge of the restricted area called the Prison Sea Despair.

——Nan Zezhou·The edge of the prison sea——

Standing at an altitude of nearly 100,000 meters, the two of them looked solemnly at the place below them, where only a part of the huge circular formation with a slightly invisible arc could be seen.

Hundreds of thousands of years have passed, and no matter how huge the formation is, it has now been buried by dust and sand. Looking down from the high dome above the sky, only a rough shape can be seen.

But inside this prototype, there are endless twisted shadows.

It was the rolling black tide of the earth and ocean.

With the sea level as the base point, it is about 420 meters high and stretches thousands of miles across, filled with flowing gray-black mist.

The place covered by this fog is rippled all the time. The black fog surges like a wave. The fluctuations of spiritual energy visible to the naked eye stir the air, spreading colors like ink in the atmosphere.

The gray-black fog sea was surging and surging fiercely, and it seemed that there were countless demons and ghosts running rampant inside.

But no matter how intense the movement is, these gray-black mist will never exceed that seemingly non-existent arc. It will always be constrained within that category and cannot go out to cause chaos.

Staring at the black sea of ​​fog below him, Su Zhou could even see and hear that there were hundreds of millions of confused and resentful souls wandering in this sea of ​​fog...

Hundreds of thousands of years later, they are still wailing in them.

Because of its lingering obsession, and also because of the great evil-conquering formation in the past, it did restrain all these resentful souls that had not been completely purified within itself, but it maintained their long-term existence and would not be destroyed by the passage of time. Annihilation.

"This is the desperate situation of the prison sea."

Talking to himself in such a low voice, he murmured: "The place where the Prison-Suppressing Demon Iron was conceived?"

"yes……"

Also staring at the restricted area shrouded in countless gray-black fogs below him, Han Shiling couldn't help but said in confusion: "The Divine Iron... it's not surprising."

But after thinking of Su Zhou's recent movements, the middle-aged man suddenly realized: "I see, Master Zhu Zhou, you want to build Taoist soldiers, so you want to use this sacred iron as the main material!"

"Well, you don't know?"

The body flashed and the spiritual energy fluctuated violently. Su Zhou released his true body and transformed into a human form.

Standing in front of Han Shiling, the young man was a little confused about this at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he felt that it was normal: "Yes, the Prison-Suppressing Demon-Suppressing Iron has not yet been born at this time, and Ming Zhengde is a reborn person, so naturally We know that what is coming here is the Prison-Suppressing Demon-Suppressing Iron, but it is normal for others not to know."

But at this moment, Han Shiling pointed to the sea of ​​fog beneath him and began to explain.

"As you can see, Master Zhu Zhou, this is the desperate situation of the Prison Sea, a restricted area filled with endless ghostly death fog."

"As long as you enter, you will be dragged into an illusion composed of the common souls of billions of monsters and ghosts, walking on the boundary between the netherworld and reality."

"So far, no one can return after entering the core, not even real people."

Emphasizing 'anyone', Han Shiling's tone at this time was solemn: "Even when the Zhengyang Kingdom was in its heyday, we would not rush to explore this place - in the past, even with the Qingxiao Zhengyang Ruler, the leader did not enter He wandered around the core area for a while, then shook his head and returned."

"I'm not trying to scare you, real person, I'm just stating a fact."

"Yes, I understand."

In this regard, Su Zhou naturally did not think that Han Shiling was trying to persuade him to give up. He just informed himself of the risks.

And this risk is far from enough to make him want to give up.

Even if there are hundreds of millions of evil spirits, plus a peak real person, and even a strong man who can ascend to the throne of Ziwei Star King, so what?

He could beat all of these people when they were alive, so what's the point of being afraid of them now that they're dead?

In fact, his interest in the word Ziwei Xingjun is far greater than his interest in the endless resentment.

Therefore, Su Zhou asked curiously: "Ziweixingjun... I always hear this term."

"The Qingxiao Zhengyang Ruler in Nan Zhengkai comes from a Ziwei Star Lord. His own purpose is to become a new generation of Ziwei Star Lord."

"And according to what Na Ming Zhengde said, the condition given to him by the immortal gods is for him to become the Ziwei Star King... What kind of position is this?"

"Ziweixingjun..."

In response, Han Shiling also withdrew his gaze. He stood respectfully beside Su Zhou, and then said with a somewhat nostalgic look: "That is the representative of 'humanity' in this world."

"Every Ziwei Star Lord is a representative of the human emperor of an era. Most likely, he is even the one who has already unified the world."

"He represents the end of troubled times, the resolution of disasters and the arrival of peace... Whenever a Ziwei Star Lord appears, the world will be peaceful for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and all living beings will be happy and free from worries."

"This is the position that the leader has always aspired to...but I think it is a position more suitable for the Holy Emperor."

"……I see."

Nodding slightly, Su Zhou raised his eyes, his eyes flashing: "It seems like it's a 'recruitment'?"

Ignoring Han Shiling, who was in a daze and seemed to want to understand what 'recruitment' meant, the young man slowly descended from the sky and said calmly: "It seems that both gods and demons actually care about mortals. '."

"It may not be an individual, but a representative, a symbol... It doesn't matter whether you live well or not, and whether you are happy or not, but both immortals and demons need many mortals to produce some value for their use."

As for Ziwei Xingjun, maybe... he is the dog who manages the sheep and the pigs who guard the pig pen.

Su Zhou did not say the last sentence.

All of this is just speculation, just because before coming to the perfect world, he happened to have recruited a group of God's Familia and various inexplicable chaos makers on Earth, so he was a little sensitive.

However, no matter who said it, Ziwei Xingjun was replaced quickly, but it was true.

Landing under the clouds and standing on the earth, Su Zhou looked squarely at the gray-black sea of ​​fog in front of him.

At this time, under the hazy sky, there are rugged rocks and wasteland, and even the sea water is filled with black and dead waves.

Around the desperate situation of the Prison Sea, even Nanzezhou, which has the most jungle monsters, has no life at all. Precisely because the source of its birth is the resentment accumulated from countless catastrophes in the past, all the monsters will use this The place where the magic circle, which restrains billions of resentful souls, is located is regarded as a desperate place.

There was no rain, no wind, and under the clouds, there was deathly silence. Even if the tide rolled in, there was no sound. Everything was swallowed up by the gray-black mist rolling not far away.

Wail, roar, neigh, roar, scream.

The long-dead ghosts made sounds full of jealousy and resentment towards the lives still alive in front of them.

——So it’s rather pitiful.

Without hesitation, Su Zhou stepped forward.

When Han Shiling, who landed right after the young man, saw this, his expression suddenly changed: "Wait a minute, real person!"

"Are you going to enter like this? Don't use some Taoist magic to strengthen it, and don't prepare any evil-proof magic weapons?"

"Are you just going to go in empty-handed like this?!"

The spy leader's tone was shocked and panicked, but he was indeed worried about Su Zhou.

Therefore, the young man stopped for this kindness, smiled and tilted his head to answer.

"fine."

He said this in a calm tone without any nervousness: "It was only when I really arrived here, got closer, and heard these voices... that I realized that there are actually so many people here waiting for my arrival."

"wait……"

Opening his mouth slightly, Han Shiling did not understand the meaning of this sentence at the first time.

However, he saw Su Zhou's profile.

Just like all the divine birds that transform into humans, Zhu Zhou's profile is perfect, and the smile at the corner of his mouth gives people an extremely gentle feeling. It is a gentleness that men who have seen him display his supernatural power before can't understand.

Such a powerful being can even fight against gods and demons...how could he be so gentle?

He should be more majestic, more cold, more ruthless...

More so, like gods and demons.

However, before this doubt, the first thing he saw was a blue-purple spiritual pupil.

In that spiritual pupil, there are layers of concentric circles that are making waves, the gears are turning, and gray fog is filling the air.

At this moment, Han Shiling felt as if he had been seen through everything, this was the case in his past and present lives.

Then, Su Zhou turned his head again.

He walked toward the black-gray mist.

Facing the young man striding in, the sea of ​​fog undulated, creating a huge tsunami wave hundreds of meters high - but Su Zhou just raised his head and stared at it, and the huge wave froze in place, as if it had turned into a A huge arch as tall as a mountain.

Layers of waves of resentful souls set off, and then turned into layers of Rashomon gates. Su Zhou walked into it calmly, as if he was walking into his own home.

Shaking his head vigorously, he recovered from the shock. Looking at Su Zhou's back, Han Shiling was really tangled in his heart. It was not like he had never been to this desperate situation in the sea of ​​​​hell, but it was the first time for him to accompany such a strange bird like Zhu Zhou. , God knows what will happen.

but……

He didn't know why, but he just wanted to follow.

——After all, who knows what will happen in the future?

Most importantly, he can witness change - choices made for a better future.

The result might be better or worse, but that's another story.

Therefore, Han Shiling gritted his teeth and took the same steps, followed closely by Su Zhou's footsteps and entered it.

…

After some time.

The huge Rashomon formed by the solidified wave slowly collapsed and turned into mist again.

And a little green rainbow light came flying from the far south.
