In the following days, Zhang Guoqing fell into busyness again.
Tongguan City is in dire need, and there are still many things that need his busy work.
In addition to the trivial matters before, he now has one more thing to do.
Every day at sunset, he would go outside the courtyard where Zhou Shu was retreating and take a look.
Although he did not dare to disturb Zhou Shu without authorization, he could see through the courtyard wall that there were more and more clay figures in the courtyard.
He knew that it was a body created by Zhou Shu for the dead of the human race in his ancestral land through the use of heavenly creation.
He also knows that after a while, these people will be able to recover.
He also knew how much price Zhou Shu paid in order to achieve this.
When thinking of Zhou Shu's white hair and slightly stooped back, Zhang Guoqing's heart was filled with unspeakable sadness.
What kind of person is the city lord?
What kind of pressure was it that made him show that unconcealable fatigue?
With Zhang Guoqing's cultivation level, it is impossible for him to have gray hair.
The city lord is a hundred times stronger. If he wasn't exhausted mentally and physically, how could he have a head full of gray hair?
"Everyone, do you know how much the city lord paid to resurrect you?
After you wake up, you must not let down the city lord’s efforts.”
Zhang Guoqing murmured to himself.
Zhang Guoqing was unable to help Zhou Shu when it came to resurrecting the human race in his ancestral land.
The only thing he can do is to handle other affairs of Tongguan City properly and not to add any burden to the city lord.
……
"Rumble——"
In an unknown place, countless magic weapons fell in one place like rain.
I saw a burly figure where the magic weapon landed. With a wave of his arms, a semicircular light spread around his body.
Those magic soldiers landed on the circle of light, making a clanging sound, and then bounced away.
Some magic weapons were directly shattered.
At the same time, some other magic soldiers directly turned against each other.
The collision of countless magic weapons made a deafening sound, and at the same time, little bits of light burst out.
Yang Zhitian was spitting out blood, and his face was as golden as paper.
His body was swaying like a tumbler, as if he might fall down at any time, but he still managed to hold on.
On the contrary, although the wounds on the transcendent person have not yet healed, they seem to be in very good condition.
From the time the two started fighting, it seemed that Yang Zhitian had caused several wounds on his body that were difficult to heal, but he had not harmed Yang Zhitian.
But in fact, the injuries suffered by the transcendent person did not cause fatal harm to him.
And Yang Zhitian, in order to achieve this effect, has tried his best.
Even in order to use that method, he paid an unimaginable price.
If someone could see through Yang Zhitian's body now, they would definitely be able to see that Yang Zhitian's body is already riddled with holes.
A detached person is, after all, a detached person.
The word "detachment" is definitely more than just words.
The pseudo-detached people like Qi Tian are completely different from the real detached people.
Geniuses like Yang Zhitian also understood the clay sculpture method mastered by Zhou Shu, but even so, Yang Zhitian has not become a true transcendent to this day.
He has been laying out the plan for so many years, and to this day, there is still a huge gap between those who are superior in strength.
"Yang Zhitian, is that all you have?"
The Transcendent laughed loudly, "With this little ability, you also want to kill me?"
"You don't have to be so proud."
Yang Zhitian shook his body, waved his sword, and another batch of magic weapons hit the transcendent.
"I know this can't kill you.
I never thought I could kill you so easily."
Yang Zhitian's expression was extremely firm and he said in a deep voice, "I am not the one who killed you."
"You want to say that the person who killed me was Zhou Shu?"
The detached person sneered.
He flicked his fingers and shot out streaks of light, knocking down the magic weapons controlled by Yang Zhitian.
His actions seemed light and easy, as if Yang Zhitian's attack did not put much pressure on him.
He knew Zhou Shu.
Otherwise, he wouldn't have created a distraction to incarnate Huang Shijie to stop Zhou Shu.
In fact, deep down in his heart, he was also somewhat afraid of Zhou Shu.
Of course, it's just a hint of fear.
In his heart, he didn't feel that anyone could really compete with him.
Including Yang Zhitian.
He is just worried that these people will ruin his major projects and affect his progress in achieving the realm of creation.
"His strength is not even as good as yours. How much of a threat do you think he can be to me?"
The detached person sneered, "You are just like the grasshoppers after autumn. No matter how happy you are, you can't do it for long."
"Are you comforting yourself?"
Yang Zhitian laughed loudly, "Are you still unaware of Zhou Shu's true origin?"
Yang Zhitian's face showed a proud look.
"The more you talk, the more it proves your worries.
I tell you, he will definitely kill you."
Yang Zhitian said with a ferocious expression, "I have used the seven-life cycle and planned it for so long. Do you really think that I have put all my hopes on myself?
I'm telling you now, it's not!
My real hope has always been in Zhou Shu!"
"So what?"
The detached person said coldly, "Strength is the foundation.
Even if I stand still here and let you attack me, you still can't kill me!"
"Really?
Shakti can hurt you.
I can hurt you too.
The wounds on your body have proved that you will also be injured.
That's enough."
Yang Zhitian said.
"Hmph, you want me to be angry, how can I do what you want?"
The detached person said coldly, "Yang Zhitian, my patience has been exhausted. If you have no other means, then you can hit the road now!
In your next life, remember not to go against me again!
Sorry, I forgot, you will not have another life.
In this cycle, I will be able to achieve the state of creation.
From now on, who and what there is in this vast world will all be determined by my thoughts.
I will not let you be born again."
The Transcendent One had a ferocious smile on his face, and he waved his fist brazenly at Yang Zhitian.
"Rumble——"
A huge fist directly smashed away countless magic weapons, and then fell towards Yang Zhitian.
Yang Zhitian has exhausted all his strength, and he no longer has the strength to escape.
A wry smile appeared on his face, has this moment finally arrived?
"I can only delay it until this moment.
Zhou Shu, the next step is up to you."
Yang Zhitian murmured to himself, he closed his eyes and waited quietly for death.
He tried his best.
He really tried his best.
"Boom——"
Suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared in front of Yang Zhitian.
She faced Yang Zhitian, with a smile on her beautiful face.
There was a loud noise, and the huge fist hit her back.
A dazzling light emitted from her body, but after only holding on for a moment, the light was scattered by the fist and fell directly on her back.
Indescribable power surged into her body instantly, destroying her vitality wantonly.
Yang Zhitian had already opened his eyes, looking at the face of the woman in front of him, with tears streaming down his face.
"What are you doing?"
Yang Zhitian stretched out his hand to touch the woman's face and murmured.
The woman smiled, reached out and grabbed Yang Zhitian's hand, and put it against her cheek.
"I do."
Her lips opened and closed, but she could no longer make any sound.
I saw her body, like light and shadow, beginning to dissipate.
Yang Zhitian's face was filled with pain. He watched helplessly as the woman disappeared into the air, feeling heartbroken and unable to breathe.
He hunched over in pain and used all his remaining strength to hold on without falling.
He, Yang Zhitian, will never fall down in front of a transcendent person! Absolutely not!
"Yang Zhitian, do you feel despair?"
The detached person laughed loudly, "How does it feel to watch your lover die in front of you, but you can't do anything about it?
This is the consequence of betraying me!
In the face of absolute strength, any calculation or conspiracy is useless!
So what if you plan a seven-life cycle?
In the face of my strength, all your plans are just a joke.
From the day I transcended, this vast world has long been destined to be in my possession!
No one can try to organize me!"
The detached person looked proud. He looked at Yang Zhitian with the pride of a winner on his face.
Yang Zhitian closed his eyes, and after a while, he slowly opened them.
"The world is not yours alone."
Yang Zhitian said coldly, "You planted the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, forced everyone to be trapped in the cycle, and used the magic weapon to deprive everyone of their origins, trying to take advantage of all the benefits between heaven and earth.
There is no such thing in the world.
The benefits cannot all belong to you!
I am never the only one who resists you.
It is not a pity that I, Yang Zhitian, will die. After my death, there will be countless successors.
And you, too, will die one day!"
Yang Zhitian stretched out his arms calmly and said, "If you want to kill me, kill me. If I snort, then I, Yang Zhitian, am not a man!"
Rumor has it that it was Yang Zhitian who invented the art of forging weapons to help transcendent beings control all living beings.
If anyone could hear what Yang Zhitian said, they would be extremely shocked.
It turns out that the art of forging weapons was not created by Yang Zhitian, but by this transcendent one!
And Yang Zhitian’s goal has never been to transcend.
On the contrary, he is stopping the transcendent.
Looking at Yang Zhitian who was waiting for death, the Transcendent Man also frowned.
He said coldly, "You want to die, but I don't want you to die.
Yang Zhitian, aren’t you confident that Zhou Shu can kill me?
Then I will show you how I tortured and killed him.
I will let you watch how I become the creator of this world and how I take advantage of all the benefits between heaven and earth!"
He laughed loudly, stretched out his hand to grab, and a huge palm appeared in the air, and Yang Zhitian was caught in the palm of his hand.
Then the huge palm disappeared into the void and disappeared.
He did not kill Yang Zhitian, but spared Yang Zhitian's life.
As a transcendent person, he has been invincible for too long.
Seeing that his plan was about to succeed and he was about to become the true master of creation, he felt a little excited in his heart.
Wouldn't it be a pity if no one witnessed such a successful moment?
In this world, the only person who is qualified to witness his success is Yang Zhitian.
No one else is worthy!
Yang Zhitian has been plotting against him for so long. Although his plot is a joke in his opinion, it is not bad to be able to do this.
It's rare to have such an opponent. Wouldn't it be too cheap to kill him like this?
Only by letting him see with his own eyes how ridiculous his own plan is can it be considered his punishment.
The detached person thought to himself, then raised his head and looked in one direction.
"Your greatest hope is Zhou Shu, right?
Then I will kill him first."
The Transcendent One sneered, "Kill him and I'll see who else can stop me."
Before he finished speaking, the Transcendent One took a step forward, and then his figure disappeared into the air.
A thunderbolt fell out of thin air. After the thunder, the space returned to silence, as if what happened before had never happened.
At this moment, among the pile of fragments of the divine weapon on the ground, suddenly, a divine weapon trembled slightly.
In the light, the divine weapon turned into a human shadow.
Yu Hongyun!
He actually survived.
In other words, Yang Zhitian deliberately let him survive!
When countless magic weapons attacked the transcendent, Yu Hongyun's body of magic weapons was thrown to the ground by Yang Zhitian.
There were countless magical weapons attacking at that time, and even the transcendent ones didn't notice that there was such a fish that slipped through the net.
In other words, the detached person doesn’t care at all.
In the eyes of a transcendent person, someone as sacred as Yu Hongyun is not even an ant. He doesn't care about life or death at all.
So what if we survive?
Soon after, the transcendent one will become the master of creation, and at that time, all life in the world will return to dust.
Whether you can survive or not will be decided by the detached person alone.
Yu Hongyun's body was shaking. Just now he was hiding among the fragments of the magic weapon and heard the conversation between Yang Zhitian and the Transcendent from the beginning to the end.
"It turns out that the lord is not the real mastermind behind the scenes.
He is not trying to control our lives, he is trying to save us."
Yu Hongyun murmured to himself, "We all misunderstood him.
I must tell the city lord about this.
The spiritual roots of heaven and earth and the cycle of the world are all the work of detached people!
The cycle of detachment is not true detachment at all!
He will never allow another transcendent person to appear in the world."
Yu Hongyun felt cold all over. These things were too far away from him.
Even as a saint, he has never considered the truth of the cycle.
He has never even thought about the realm of the Lord of Creation.
In a situation where even transcendence is a luxury, who would consider a higher realm?
Only now did he realize that everything he saw and experienced was arranged by others.
This so-called cycle is a scam from beginning to end.
Who would have thought that even the spiritual roots of heaven and earth were planted by transcendent beings?
They think they are protecting the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, but in fact they have already fallen into the conspiracy of the transcendent!
If the city lord doesn't know this, he will definitely fall into passivity.
"My lord left me alive because he must have wanted me to inform the city lord."
Yu Hongyun gritted his teeth and said.
He is very afraid of the transcendent. To be honest, right now, he just wants to run as far as he can.
The transcendent person just said that he went to find the city lord.
Yu Hongyun doesn’t want to get involved in this matter at all.
But thinking that the lord Yang Zhitian left his life, his original intention may be to let him inform the city lord of the matter.
And the city lord is also kind to himself.
If I just leave like this, wouldn't I betray the trust of two people?
Furthermore, even if I leave, where can I go?
The lord fell into the hands of the transcendent.
Now the transcendent one went to find the city lord again.
If the city lord also loses, then the transcendent one will really become the master of creation.
By then, everyone in the world may not be able to escape death.
Even if you run away to the ends of the earth, will you be able to escape?
Thinking about it, he knew that was impossible.
The only way to survive is to help the city lord and defeat the transcendent!
Yu Hongyun is a saint after all, and soon he figured it all out.
Once you have figured this out, it will be very clear what to do.
"Fight!"
Yu Hongyun gritted his teeth and said, "I don't believe it. A city lord kills a saint like a chicken but a dog. How can he still deal with a transcendent person?
If even the city lord can't deal with the transcendent, I won't be too late to escape."
He knew in his heart that if even Zhou Shu couldn't deal with the Transcendent, then there was no need for him to escape and he would just wait to die.
After taking a look at the fragments of the magic weapon on the ground, Yu Hongyun's heart was filled with the sadness of the rabbit dying and the fox dying.
Many of these fragments of divine weapons are from the former Tianzhen Marshal.
Including Fan Shichang, all the Tianzhen Marshals have died in this battle.
Poor Fan Shichang, he always thought he was so great, but never thought that in the end, he was just a chess piece and died so pitifully.
Yu Hongyun knew that he was not even as good as Fan Shichang. If Yang Zhitian hadn't deliberately protected him, he would have been reduced to countless fragments like Fan Shichang.
If he doesn't defeat the Transcendent, the fragments of the divine weapon all over the ground will be his fate.
He has no choice.
"I must tell the city lord everything about this place before the transcendent one finds him."
Yu Hongyun gritted his teeth and said, turning into a stream of light and rising into the sky.
……
In Tongguan City, the flames between Zhou Shu's hands slowly extinguished.
Another little clay figurine was cast.
Between Zhou Shu's brows, a trace of unconcealable fatigue flashed across his face.
Continuously creating humans from chaotic stardust, Zhou Shu's mind has been exhausted to the extreme.
He knew that he had reached his limit.
Simply speaking, 60% of the people from the ancestral land who died in the previous battle have been shaped.
For the rest, he will leave behind the heavenly creation method. If one day, someone can understand this method, he can naturally resurrect everyone else.
Or, if he can come back alive, he can naturally continue to resurrect them when the time comes.
Now, he has no time.
It's not just that he's mentally exhausted.
It was also because he sensed that the Transcendent One was coming.
The induction in the armillary sphere told him this very clearly.
