Chapter 1357: Chapter 109: God and Demon (Fifth Update)

The Warlord Statue still stood tall, with the Warlord’s servant, the Sky-gazing Giant Eye, and the green-clothed woman from the "Muriya civilization" all present. They were each cultivating alone, comprehending the eight words left by Su Yu and experiencing the true meaning of "Lay down the butcher knife, and become a god on the spot". They all desired to awaken from this lowly diminutive world and universe, and achieve the status of a Supreme God.

Su Yu now existed as a consciousness without a physical body, unable to muster any strength, which made him somewhat helpless.

Seeing Su Yu’s consciousness appear, Ada and others gathered around, including those who were originally cultivating like the Sky-gazing Giant Eye.

Su Yu didn’t hide anything; he straightforwardly shared what he saw after becoming a god, such as the Final Battlefield and the ancient beasts. However, he omitted discussing how strong he himself was and the disputes with the few Great Commanders that arose later.

Zhang Zhongmou and the others were astounded by the bizarre tales of the Final Battlefield and the ancient beasts. After a while, Zhang Zhongmou exclaimed, "Is there really such a place? The Cosmic Tree, the Cosmic Ocean, oh boy, can only gods see these?"

Su Yu nodded, indeed, without becoming a god, one is but a mere chestnut in the sea, and how could one see the whole vista of the sea? To truly see what the sea looks like, one must leap out of it.

Su Yu looked at the people before him and unconsciously thought of the words spoken by the God of Radiance. If those gods knew that he greatly valued his family and friends and intended to use them to threaten him, what should he do? As the strongest, he was still just one being, unable to always protect everyone around him and also unsure if his warnings would indeed be effective.

"Su Yu, what are you thinking about?" Ada inquired, now independent of any life-binding relations or soul communication with Su Yu, unknowing of his thoughts.

Su Yu looked at Ada and finally decided to tell Ada about the potential dangers they might face. Although Ada was not a true god now, she was experienced and knowledgeable, which might help formulate a solution.

"Hmm..." Ada nodded and said, "Su Yu, remember when we were in the starry universe, I took you to a dimensional funnel and mentioned that it was a backup I left from the previous era?"

Su Yu nodded; unfortunately, at that time, his strength was insufficient, and he couldn’t enter the dimensional funnel. Afterwards, when the starry universe was destroyed, that connection was lost too.

Ada continued, "The space that dimensional funnel leads to was originally outside the starry universe; therefore, even though the starry universe was destroyed, the place it leads to remains."

Su Yu looked at Ada, seeing a confident expression on her face—perhaps Ada had identified where the dimensional funnel leads and found a solution to the current problems?

"In the circle of gods possibly related to us, the Warlord had fallen, and the Golden Emperor only had half a skull left, his current whereabouts unknown. Your teacher Tezcatlipoca was indeed a true god; regretfully, only a wisp of his remnant soul remains, struggling to preserve itself. Now, we almost have nothing to rely on... We can only think of ways to protect ourselves," Ada mused, touching her chin thoughtfully.

Su Yu looked at Ada and said, "You believe that they won’t just let things be?"

Ada nodded and replied, "For them, destroying the domain of nothingness and annihilating ancient beasts is the top priority. Since you mentioned that for the sake of experiment, they would even sacrifice an entire universe and countless lives without hesitation, how could they possibly care about the survival of one true god? And the God of Radiance you encountered, he isn’t the real leader; even if he was deterred by you, his superior certainly won’t be."

"Hmm, I think so too. Although the God of Radiance is powerful, it seems like he’s still lacking somewhat to be the leader of the true gods."

Listening to Ada’s analysis, Su Yu faintly realized the gravity of the situation. Ada then said, "Let’s firstly go find what I arranged in the dimensional funnel and then enter my homeland. Even those true gods, if they want to harm you or use us to threaten you, it won’t be easy."

Seeing Ada so confident in her backup plan, Su Yu was also secretly curious and didn’t say much more, adding, "But before that, I need to take care of another matter. Oh, Ada, I need a new body, my consciousness can’t exert much power, and if anything happens here, my true body’s entrance may cause the destruction of this world."

Ada smiled, "A new body... Umm, what about the Warlord Banner or the Warlord Statue? I think you should temporarily store your consciousness in there. Oh, I forgot to mention, actually, really powerful gods all refine avatars. You could also try refining some using celestial bodies. The realm of a true god is too high; although powerful, it also comes with many restrictions. Many low-level universes or worlds are inaccessible, and once you enter, you cause their destruction. If you don’t want these restrictions, you need to refine avatars according to different energy levels. This way, you can use avatars unrestrictedly across various universes."

Su Yu hmmmed, but his mind suddenly sparked like lightning, somewhat startled, then said, "Avatars at various levels... Entering and exiting worlds of different levels... That said, the existences we have seen in the universe before might have been avatars of some powerful true god, could there also be such cases?"

Ada nodded and said, "Yes, that’s theoretically possible. You can also create different avatars according to your preferences, even granting them unique personalities, growth potentials, and different energy levels. Unless you say, no one would know whether you are a real living entity or someone’s avatar.XRLabel

"I was thinking about the Wooden Man." Su Yu slowly spoke.

"The Wooden Man, this guy, is indeed very mysterious... He carries too many mysteries." Ada also sighed, "I still remember when we found his head, the first words he spoke were my name. I still can’t understand why, and the body he found for you... Su Yu, could it be that you are thinking, this Wooden Man might be an avatar of some powerful being?"

Su Yu shook his head and said, "The soul of the Wooden Man is very special. Originally, I thought his Undying Spirit was just the solidified Golden Core formed during the time of Peak Immortality... But it was only when I attained Peak Immortality myself that I realized, the soul of an Immortal being and the Undying Spirit of the Wooden Man are completely different, even different from true gods."

"Why do you say that?" Ada was a bit surprised, and laughed.

"Because I have entered the Final Battlefield and witnessed the ancient beasts and those true gods battling. Although those were just some lower-tier gods, yes, the so-called ’minor gods’, even though they are ’minor’, they are still true gods."

Su Yu sighed, "If they are true gods, they should be perfect living beings, meant to be eternal and indestructible, but... in front of the ancient beasts, these true gods could also fall, could also die."

"If gods can die so easily, be killed, are they still gods? Ada, you once said gods are omnipotent and eternal. If a god dies, is annihilated, then it is not a real god, but a false god."

Ada fell silent at Su Yu’s words.

After a while, Ada said, "You mean to say, like the Wooden Man, no matter how many times his body is dismembered, no matter how many times he is killed, his soul just won’t be annihilated; only such beings are truly worthy of being called divine spirits, right?"

"Yes, like my teacher Tezcatlipoca, as you said, he is also a true god. His body was destroyed, his soul was severely damaged, only a wisp of a remnant soul survived. It seems he was indeed a true god, but with my current power, I am confident I can easily eradicate that wisp of my teacher’s remnant soul, making it truly disappear... Ada, do you know what this implies?"

"I know, it means that gods can also be killed, can also fall, it means that gods are not perfect."

"Don’t you find this problematic? Isn’t this very contradictory?" Su Yu looked at Ada.

Ada shook his head, "No, there’s nothing contradictory. The so-called perfect and true gods are relatively comparative, the so-called eternity is also conditionally based. When the premise does not exist, the perfection also becomes flawed. Su Yu, don’t dwell on this too deeply, otherwise, you might also devolve into the demonic path..."

"The demonic path?" Su Yu was slightly startled, "What is that?"

Ada replied, "I’ve heard about it too. You have become a god, it’s okay to tell you. Ning Yan you know, the powers behind her represent the forces of demons. This so-called demon is just a different title, the forebear of demons also evolved from true gods."

"Evolved from true gods?" Su Yu was extremely surprised, and the image of Ning Yan he had once seen, with twelve wings of darkness displayed behind her, epitomized perfection.

"Didn’t the five Great Commanders of the Final Battlefield tell you? After the ancient wars, the system of true gods diverged. One faction relentlessly pursued their own absolute perfection, believing in the existence of an absolutely perfect life form beyond true gods. That is the demon, eventually, to achieve their own perfection by any means, they fell into the demonic path, and this faction of true gods... came to be known as demons or Demon Gods. If you let your thoughts wander into this, it’s easy to also devolve into the demonic path."

Su Yu smiled lightly, "By any means? In a sense, those crazy experiments are also by any means, isn’t that also falling into the demonic path?"

Ada frowned, "Their objective is to save the various universes..."

Su Yu smiled slightly, "Those so-called Demon Gods seeking their own absolute perfection could also say that they perfect themselves first and then destroy the ancient beasts, destroying the world of nothingness. Aren’t they also aiming to save the various universes?"

Ada was stunned, finding himself at a loss for words due to Su Yu’s retort.
