Chapter 1343: Chapter 999: Lay Down the Butcher Knife, Instantly Ascend to Godhood

The Warlord’s servant’s eyes widened, mouth agape, completely stunned on the spot.

When Su Yu pulled out the "Warlord Banner," a bolt of lightning struck his mind as if thunder roared.

"Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom boom—"

It was as if eight thunderclaps erupted from the ground in his mind, each clap representing a character. Together, these eight characters formed, "Lay down the butcher’s knife, and become a god on the spot."

Su Yu trembled violently and suddenly howled to the heavens, "I understand now—"

Grasping the "Warlord Banner," countless streams of energy exploded from his body with a thunderous boom that shook the earth.

From all around, everyone cried out in shock and horror, for through their eyes, Su Yu’s body seemed to explode from within, shattering into myriad pieces, just as horrific as the nearly a hundred people who had been blown to bits under the Annihilation Rule of the "God of the Rules."

"Su Yu, what’s happening to you—?" Su Yun screamed.

Zhang Zhongmou thought to come for a closer look but was stopped by Ada, because at that very last moment, the last bit of the symbiotic connection between her soul and Su Yu’s was severed.

Su Yu had become a god.

A true deity.

Su Yu exploded, truly shattered, and burst into thousands of energy ribbons, wrapping around the Warlord Banner, causing the phantom images of eighteen types of weapons on the banner to float about in a bizarre and inexplicable display.

Soon, the thousands of energy ribbons also vanished, and the Warlord Banner fell back to the ground.

"What’s going on? Su Yu, where are you?" Zhang Zhongmou watched as Su Yu disappeared without a trace, wondering whether this was truly ascension to godhood or some sort of accident.

The Warlord’s servant tried once more to pull the Warlord Banner from the ground and found it still immovable; the banner could not be pulled out with mere strength.

The Sky-gazing Giant Eye opened wide, searching through the void as if to find a trace of Su Yu.

The scene was utterly bizarre; at the last moment, Su Yu had made things clear, then exploded, annihilating and vanishing without a trace.

No matter how the Sky-gazing Giant Eye searched, Su Yu’s presence was nowhere to be found on all sides. Could it be that Su Yu didn’t truly become a god just now but fell victim to some hidden ploy of the God of the Rules? Had he died?

Among the crowd, only Ada, with her eyes slightly squinted and a pensive expression on her face, seemed to ponder something.

After a good while, an almost imperceptible voice echoed through the emptiness surrounding them.

"Lay down the butcher’s knife... become a god on the spot... To become a god, one must lay down, must lay down our ’butcher’s knife’..."

The green-clothed woman from the "Muriya civilization," hearing this faint and sudden voice in the void, showed a sympathetic countenance, and her beautifully arched eyebrows knitted slightly as she muttered, "Lay down our butcher’s knife..."

"Su Yu, is that you? What exactly happened to you?" Zhang Zhongmou called out to the sky, thinking the faint voice sounded a bit like Su Yu.

"It is me... and yet it is not me..." The almost imperceptible voice gradually became clearer, and soon, streams of energy converged toward the center point. Su Yu, who had disappeared, reappeared in the void, looking down at the people below with a slight smile.

"Su Yu, what exactly happened just now?" Zhang Zhongmou looked at the now seemingly bizarre Su Yu.

"Just now, I merely awoke from a dream, my true nature awakened. The me now, does not exist."

Su Yu’s floating body slowly descended before the people, smiling faintly, "Lay down the butcher’s knife, become a god on the spot... The butcher’s knife we must put down is ourselves. Only by laying down our very selves can we transcend. Ada, when you lay down your essence, you will no longer be a Category 5 Lifeform..."

Ada nodded, humming in agreement, as if she too understood.

"So that’s how it is? Lay down one’s current self? But, if you lay down your current self, will you still exist?" The Sky-gazing Giant Eye contracted slightly, suddenly posing the question, also eager to understand what it meant to become a god.

"Letting go of oneself, of course, means ceasing to exist," Su Yu looked at the Sky-gazing Giant Eye and smiled. Startled, the Giant Eye, and Zhang Zhongmou, who was confused, said, "Ceasing to exist, yet aren’t you still here?"

Su Yu reached out and pointed at everyone in front of him, "I exist because I exist in your consciousness. That is why I am here."

Ada nodded and said, "Without leakage and without conception, whoever thinks of Su Yu, Su Yu would know. This is what being a true god is... After piercing through all illusion, one can see all truths."

Zhang Zhongmou shook his head and said, "I still don’t understand, this existence and non-existence, what are you and Ada actually talking about?"

Zhang Zhongmou didn’t understand; neither did Su Yun, Meng Ting, and the rest. Everyone was completely baffled, except for the Warlord’s servant, the Sky-gazing Giant Eye, and that green-dressed woman from the "Muriya civilization." A look of dawning understanding crossed their faces.

"It’s quite difficult to explain using language..."

Su Yu looked at the crowd in front of him, struggling to find the words. He hoped to share with everyone the experience of his ascension to godhood, but it was extremely challenging to articulate using human language. The Su Yu that was still here was no longer the true Su Yu, but merely a strand of his consciousness. The true Su Yu had "awakened."

The moment he held the Warlord Banner and his mind grasped the idea "Lay down the butcher knife to immediately become a god," his mind thundered and he abruptly "woke" up.

When he "woke" up and "opened" his eyes, the expanse of the green grass had vanished, and Ada, Zhang Zhongmou, the Sky-gazing Giant Eye, the green-dressed woman, Su Yun, Meng Ting, the Warlord Statue, the Warlord’s servant, his own mother, sister, and everyone else had disappeared. The whole world had completely changed.

After waking up, Su Yu found himself under a towering tree, which was half-withered. Many of its branches were dead and withered, with countless yellow, dry leaves.

His mind clear as Ming Jing, Su Yu instantly realized the immense tree before him was the very same one they had seen from afar, whose size penetrated heaven and earth to an incomprehensible extent. The world where Ada, Zhang Zhongmou, and the others resided was like a vibrant green leaf among the countless leaves of this great tree.

He "awoke," transcending countless worlds and universes, and reawakening between the true origin of the world and the cosmos. He even returned to his original form, transforming into a stellar nebula—a universe that was his true body; this universe was his true self.

"You’ve awakened."

Suddenly, a voice echoed from high above, and then, three figures appeared before Su Yu.

At this moment, Su Yu was experiencing the state he was in.

One strand of his consciousness remained in the "leaf" world where he had originally been, together with Zhang Zhongmou, Su Yun, Ada, and the others, wanting to share the experience of godhood. But the real him had appeared at the foot of this immense tree, feeling the infinite power surging within him.

After he "awoke," he realized how primitive and minuscule the solar energy he had absorbed in the starry universe was. The cocoon he had reincarnated into was a universe, and now he had truly awakened. His soul and life form had reached a perfect state of a Category 6 existence, merging with the Giant Will, finally able to perfectly harness all the energy within this body. The energy he had previously carried was indeed comparable to an entire universe.

A hundred billion stars make up a Milky Way Galaxy, and a hundred billion Milky Way Galaxies might form a universe. The level of cosmic energy is unimaginably vast.

At this moment, Su Yu finally understood what the "cocoon" he had reincarnated into was. That "cocoon" was a true universe embryo, far more advanced than the colossal cocoon formed after devouring the "starry universe."

If the "cocoon" was an embryo of a universe, then was the Giant Will born from this "universal embryo," or was it injected by some other existence? Or maybe this universe embryo was a naturally formed universe or came about due to some other reason?

Even as a true god, Su Yu still could not fully understand these things, but he was certain that his body held the energy of an entire universe, which could compare to the whole "starry universe" without falling short and was by no means on par with the ordinary universe where Earth, where humans had previously resided, was located.

Su Yu was closing his eyes, feeling the state of his body, while the three presences that had just appeared were silently observing him.

Every "awakened" god starts like this—they receive a deluge of information. They would give Su Yu time.

Su Yu could clearly feel the full awakening of his body, the terrifying energy within forming a vortex, like a nebula within a universe. Although this cosmic nebula existed only within his body, its energy was horrifying enough to compete with a universe, exceeding trillions of solar energies.

The complete transformation of life form and the perfection of the body were sufficient to contain the explosion of a universe’s energy. All the Special powers had disappeared, even the needs for Golden Blood were gone.

Because it was all a matter of his will; to become a Black Iron Warrior or transform into a Golden Warrior was merely a thought away, with no need to be constrained to any special form.

Thus, Su Yu reverted to his most familiar and comfortable form, a regular human body and appearance, then finally looked at the three figures that had descended before him.

The beings who could appear before Su Yu, who had just "awakened," could only be of the same form—that is, deities.

The three figures in front of him also maintained a human shape.

For gods, nothing is non-existent. What form they maintain is simply a matter of preference. If Su Yu wished, he could release the universe energy within him to truly transform into a universe, to initiate a Big Bang, and at an unimaginable speed, cleave open a new universe in this vast space.
