hero.

Believe that good will be rewarded, evil will be rewarded, believe that efforts will be fruitful, believe that evil will not overcome justice, believe that what you do is meaningful, kill the devil's peace will be restored, believe that you can enter heaven after death - with such a heart, it is not difficult to become a hero.

But if life itself is extremely painful, the class exists forever, and efforts are fruitless, good and evil are just house rules created by people themselves, and the existence of life has no value or meaning. The devil does not exist, or the devil is the sentient beings in the whole world, including themselves, and there is no heaven. The future is as smelly as stinky dog ​​shit...

If anyone thinks so.

If someone really knows this, he still firmly believes that he still gives to all living beings and still does things that are meaningless in nature.

Such a person is undoubtedly a hero.

——There is only one true heroism in the world, that is, you still love it after you recognize the truth of life.

The former draws strength from some long-standing correctness, just like the relatives of great existences, walking on a determined road, naturally hold your head up and be confident and safe.

But the latter is the greatness of oneself from nothingness.

Without extraordinary love, it is impossible to insist on being a "hero".

At this moment, Su Zhou tightened the knife in his hand.

The craze of the blade of destruction rose and the light shone on the void. This knife had long been transformed and sublimated by his great way, turning into a representative of "burning everything in the past and removing the beginning of everything", and a sword of life and death that "destroyed" and "nirvana".

Its heat is true and comes from the essence of the great way of the powerful man of Hedao, and is a divine weapon that is enough to cut open the universe.

And in front of him, there was also a magnificent tower suppressing him. The endless darkness was like a solar eclipse covering the sun, completely covering the Blade of Destruction and Su Zhou's light, and a terrifying pressure came overwhelmingly.

This is the suppression and blockade beyond time and space. Just the moment when the shadows cover him, Su Zhou's sensing of the surrounding multiverse void became obscure. Now he seemed like an ordinary person suddenly blocked his ears, covered his eyes, and covered his mouth. He could not distinguish between the four directions, nor could he recall the past and imagine the future.

The moment the Hongshi Town Dao Tower was suppressed, Su Zhou's mind was suppressed, and he could only stare at the falling tower, his body motionless.

All actions begin with thinking and instinct. When instinct and thinking are blocked, even if they are in harmony with the Tao, they are just walking dead.

This is darkness, and it is also absolute suppression. Under the brilliant light of the Hongshi Town Dao Tower, only Hongshi has the right to "think". Only He can imagine, have the power, and conduct judgment.

Only, He is the ‘Great Emperor’, and all subjects should obey His wisdom and follow the path He pointed out to move forward.

Everything will no longer be double-standard. They will no longer be able to be strict with others or tolerant and indulge themselves - because everything under this world can only follow one standard.

That is Hongshi.

The Hongshi Dao Town Tower hangs magnificent holy light, like a meteor falling. This is the great way for Emperor Hongshi to suppress many worlds, and to carry out the heart of saving with his actions!

【This kind of suppression?!】

【…Well, this is Hongshi’s power?!】

But before Su Zhou, the first one to speak was Tai Yi Feng and Xuan Renzi.

In the Hongshi Dao Tower, all the powerful people at the level of immortals and above who have been defeated since Hongshi attained enlightenment were mostly indifferent and ruthless, and do all kinds of evil, which is in line with the most typical villain image in most stories and legends - killing innocent people indiscriminately, treating mortals as food, and even treating the entire civilization as their own personal belongings.

Of course, a small part may be slightly better, at most it is because of some of the three views. For example, Xuan Renzi did not do anything particularly evil, at most it was that he did not want the second Tao in his universe... and most of the other existences were even more evil than the evil that humans could imagine.

Because they are immortals and gods, and they are in harmony with the Tao. Even if they are just jokes, they can destroy billions of mortal families, and even thousands of civilizations and kingdoms.

But now, all the suppressed prisoners in the tower are wailing and screaming.

Because Hongshi's power was first applied to them, depriving them of all their power and their connection to the Dao - Hongshi's Dao Town Tower is almost a complete small universe. With the blessing of the divine power of Hedao, the blockade of the Dao is more than a universe that rejects the Dao Dao by Hedao, which is enough to turn all the strong men defeated by Hedao into mortals.

This is the greatest torture for them.

For example, Tianfeng and Xuan Renzi.

Taiyi is the beginning of the original and the only central government!

Tianfeng, who was originally honored as the supreme return in his own universe, has now lost all rights, whether it is his ministers, wives, concubines, children, or all the power and authority that He could obtain at will.

In the latest floor of the Hongshi Town Dao Tower, he is like a rooster who has been cut off his throat and plucked his hair and bleeds. He crawled on the ground decadently, all his originally glamorous feathers fell down, losing all his ambition and original spirit.

Xuan Renzi was a little better. The old Taoist priest was still sitting cross-legged at the bottom of the tower. With his eyes closed, he could sense his own way, Tianfeng's way, and even all the strong men defeated by Hongshi, their way was pulled by the Dao Tower and turned into its extremely powerful power to attack its enemies.

He lost the right to become stronger, lost freedom, and lost all the supernatural powers and cultivation that could be called "free and easy". If there is anything in this multiverse that He hates the most, then this is the case now.

He would rather die than be sealed here.

[And this is Hongshi's purpose]

Opening his eyes, Xuan Ren sighed, and He smiled bitterly: [This is Hongshi's punishment for us - because we ignore all living beings in our universe, sit and watch their suffering happen, and fall into the most desperate situation, so He also puts us in the most desperate situation, facing the darkness and horror that mortals have faced]

[He flew!] And Tianfeng whistled: [What do those mortals have to do with us? They like to kill each other themselves. I can't help but care. I wish they all abide by the law and behave better, but they just don't listen!]

Speaking of this, I sensed that my own power was being drawn continuously to suppress the "Zhuzhou". Tianfeng said angrily: [He himself went crazy, why should he ask us to be crazy together?! The cause and effect before I became enlightened have been paid off, and all those who helped me have received feedback. What does the rest have to do with me? Why should I care about their life and death and be responsible for these things?!]

【well】

And Xuan Renzi sighed: [It's just that we lost]

This is more realistic than all the truth.

Just like now.

Even Su Zhou, who received the inheritance and empowerment of tens of thousands of Hedao powerful men in the end of the universe, was suppressed when facing Hongshi's suppression that integrated all his enemies' divine power in the past.

Amid the high-pitched roar and the crisp metal collision, Su Zhou's body was knocked away directly, and the right hand holding the knife broke irregularly, and the purple blood spilled throughout the void. He himself was like a flying meteor, shattering one illusory road after another and the wreckage of the drifting world along the way.

Along the way, blood turned into mist and spread in the void. Large tracts of dust from the world drifted away, drawing a conspicuous straight line in the void.

All the great realms of the realms that were stained by this blood obtained the energy and matter they needed most, and then began to gradually shine and turn from virtual to reality.

The attack was solid, but Emperor Hongshi's face was not good-looking. The man's face was solemn, and his magenta eyes stared at the direction where Su Zhou flew backwards.

——What He originally wanted to suppress Zhuzhou instead of knocking him away... He clearly suppressed the original Zhuzhou and his thinking and imagination just now, why could he still use his sword to resist?

Although he thought for a moment, in the next moment, He jumped up and turned into divine light, catching up with him at a speed faster than Su Zhou's backward speed, and then came again with a tower!

【Don't know, try again】

Rumble!

The Taoist Tower fell straight down, but at this moment, Su Zhou's eyes, who had been stunned, returned to his agility. He waved his sword with his twisted hand and slashed the Taoist Tower decisively!

The sword light spread across the sky, bringing an arc of light that could traverse thousands of worlds in the surrounding void. It swept open the tower of the Dao-Shenzhen. The sharp blade seemed to cut the tower wall, as if it was splitting a barrier to the entire universe.

However, with the whine sounding in the tower again, sword marks and blood appeared on Tianfeng and Xuan Renzi, and blood flowed, but it was not fatal.

All the strong men in the entire town tower shared the power of this attack. Tianfeng and Xuan Renzi were able to scream out now because they had just entered, and the others who were imprisoned had long been used to it.

"good!"

After breaking free from the suppression of the Dao Tower, Su Zhou retreated for a long distance and applauded: "What a magical power!"

"It is said that it is the way to seal my 'imagination', 'thinking' and 'memories', which sounds like brute force suppression and sealing... Generally, the Tao will be misled." As he said this, Su Zhou looked at Emperor Hongshi, and in the silent eyes of the other party, he said with a bright look: "In fact, this is not an attack at all - Hongshi, this is 'empathy'! A strange sharing and blessing!"

"You just used the way of salvation to share and empathize with me the 'dark' and 'despair' you have experienced personally!"

[It is worthy of being the original Zhuzhou, miraculously rising in the multiverse, and one of the strongest Taoists]

Hongshi did not hide it, He nodded: [Because he worked hard in the fields, he did not even have time to recall the past and look forward to the future. He could only hoe the ground day after day to fertilize, praying not to have severe drought, locust plague, snow and floods]

[Because of murder, I lose everything and then despair, so I can't even imagine hope and imagine the future. I can only kneel in the pool of blood of my family, waiting for death to come]

[Because I was too tired and too confused when I worked for too long, even my ability to think disappeared. I could only sit in the office chair in a daze and look at the screen entering the standby mode]

Telling these, He held the Dao-Shen Tower in His hand and said lightly: [The powerful Hedao people have long forgotten these tears that have not shed, and I just shared these powerless despair with them - Tianfeng and Xuan Renzi were defeated in an instant, and they were defeated by the deepest darkness they imagined]

[They lost their power and freedom, and could only stay in the tower and reflect, until they made up their minds to ‘save’ their desperate selves, and they could come out of the tower]

He said: [I am very curious, Yuan Chu Zhuzhou, how did you break free? What you can sense is that you are most afraid and can imagine the deepest despair darkness. Why can you break free so quickly?]

"It's actually very difficult, I've used it for a long time."

Su Zhou said: "It took me a long time to kill myself from the past and no longer fear or despair."

When Hongshi frowned, Su Zhou raised the knife in front of him.

The blade of destruction burned, but it didn't take much. On the contrary, the light released by this hot divine sword was overflowing with the "power of existence", which was the way of the God of Taichu, and Su Zhou absorbed His power and turned it into his own use.

The power of existence shines on the void and reflects on Su Zhou's face, solemn and calm.

What exactly is absolute darkness? What is the future that the sentient beings in the multiverse have always believed, the most difficult to accept, and the most desperate for the mind?

There is actually no standard answer to this. After all, all living beings are in various types, and they are different. For humans, a universe without light is absolute darkness. However, for magical creatures, or pure entropy universes like entropy shadow, light is not only nothing but light, they do not have the concept of light.

Humans find it difficult to understand their standards, and the other way around.

Even within human beings, the darkness among different classes is different - those with power are afraid of losing their rights, those with assets are afraid of losing their assets, those with land are afraid of losing their land, and those with force hate their powerlessness...

The light in their hearts is different, so the shadows of darkness are also different.

Only one.

Only what the person who has no one fears is what all human beings are empty and feared.

That is no future.

Death? Death is just disappearing, worth fear and struggle, but not worth eternal despair... The so-called despair is to know the possibility of hope, but know that one is more likely to touch it.

Before Hongshi's suppression came, what Su Zhou sensed was not a loss of power, power, or loss of free and easy. If there was no power, re-cultivation, without power and free and easy, and his despair was not this.

Su Zhou's despair, the darkness that he least wants to see, is a solidified world, a life that all living beings spend time and time again. They will always work hard and be oppressed and ravaged. They will never have food and clothing and happiness, and they will never be able to be too peaceful.

There is no hope, nor can we change our destiny and class. Those who are humble can only be humble, and they can only be forever for generations. And our children and their descendants must also walk the old path that they have seen the end again. No one can see any upward glory. Living is just living, just as dark as a stagnant water.

Being in it, Su Zhou felt a suffocation as if he was about to die. He felt fear and trembling that he had never imagined. He was stunned and could not move because of the despair that Hongshi showed for him.
To be continued...
