Monsters Die When Killed

"Su Zhou, is this your bloodline suppression?"

The Daoist Saint and the rest of the action team saw the scene as they landed.

Among them, Zhang Fucheng was somewhat mentally prepared, as he knew that all the Dragon Species in Hongcheng had undergone a drastic change due to Su Zhou’s Awakening and advancement.

But the other military Transcendents and team members were utterly shocked. They never imagined that an entire troop of Scale Race soldiers would lie prostrate like obedient children. They offered no resistance whatsoever against Su Zhou, simply kneeling on the ground.

"Interesting," the Daoist Saint thought to himself. ’We still don’t know Su Zhou’s true form, but there’s no doubt his Tier is very high.’

After all, even Nine Nether, who had inherited the Celestial Pool Dragon King’s True Dragon Body Cultivation Technique, feared Su Zhou’s bloodline. Such suppressive power was unheard of among True Dragons.

’Is he a Yinglong? Or a Candle Dragon? Or maybe an Ancestor Dragon of some kind...’ The Daoist Saint couldn’t figure it out.

After all, there were only a few bloodlines that could truly surpass an ordinary Celestial Dragon—but whether it was a Yinglong or a Candle Dragon, both were subtly different from the bloodline power Su Zhou had displayed...

The Daoist Saint’s confusion was shared by the others. Only Jin Qiong had a different thought. She clicked her tongue and thought to herself, ’What a pity. I didn’t expect Professor Su to have such a powerful aura of intimidation. If the Two Realms Teleportation Gate had opened in Scale Race territory, then with his power, I probably could’ve just carried him on my back and flown right through while he had his Suppression active. I bet not a single beast would have dared to stop us.’

She had already mentally resigned herself to the role of a vehicle—a clear sign of how deeply the pressure had taken root.

Meanwhile, the Europe Action Team wasted no time. Seeing that the Zhengguo Action Team had the situation under control, Rafael summoned another Spirit Dove—a smaller, stealthier one. He had it grab the fallen leaf that the Sealing Card had transformed into and fly ahead. After all, the teams shared information; they would find out whatever Zhengguo learned from their interrogation.

Rather than lamenting how difficult the path was, it was better to set off at once.

At the same time, Su Zhou wasted no time either. He asked directly, "Why are the Scale Race here? What is your purpose?"

The giant crocodile respectfully replied in heavily accented Chinese, "Yes, by order of the Celestial Dragon Venerable Lord. We are here to monitor the internal strife of the Feather Race. If there are any major developments, we are to return immediately and report the news to the Venerable Lord."

This confirmed the group’s earlier analysis. The Scale Race and the Feather Race were spying on each other; if one side fell into internal strife, the other would start looking for opportunities. The Scale Race had likely sent out more than just this one covert team.

Su Zhou nodded, seemingly satisfied with the giant crocodile’s quick reply. He continued to ask, "Did you encounter any other members of the Feather Race before you met us?"

"No, Venerable Lord, but we did previously capture a Spiritual Bull. It might be a Devotion Species raised by the Feather Race," the giant crocodile answered swiftly once more.

As for the other Scale Race members, their status seemed even lower. Not only did they not dare to speak, but with Su Zhou before them, they didn’t even dare to raise their heads, as if they were unworthy of looking upon the Venerable Lord’s face and body.

Su Zhou was now communicating telepathically with the Daoist Saint and the others, exchanging information and formulating questions. After a moment, he continued his interrogation, subtly probing for information about the Tree of Life.

The giant crocodile had no suspicions—or rather, it thought Su Zhou was testing its faith in the Venerable God of Life. It immediately began to explain everything to Su Zhou and the others in the most detailed and lucid tone possible.

—In the center of the world, there is a giant tree that supports the heavens and the earth.

He is the Creator of the world, the Nurturer of all things. He is the Celestial Father who bestows power upon the Divine Beasts, the first to grant supreme status to royal authority. He is the Life Lord who governs the cycle of life, death, and Reincarnation, the one and only Immortal Venerable God.

The Venerable God of Life is the one, supreme object of faith in the Beast God Realm. He silently gazes down upon the entire world, watching the actions of every living being, recording their merits and sins to determine where they will be reborn in the cycle of Reincarnation.

The Divine Beasts are the destined rulers.

All Divine Beasts are individuals who possess great virtue and great authority. They are the fated kings, the rulers of all. The Combat Species exist to serve and fight for the Divine Beasts. They defend the honor of the Divine Beasts with their lives in order to accumulate their own merit.

It is said that three hundred and twenty-seven years ago, a member of the Combat Species with astonishing combat power was granted Divine Blood by a Divine Beast, becoming a new Divine Beast himself. This tale is widely told among the Combat Species, who revere and celebrate the story.

The Production Species are those whose merits and sins from a past life have canceled each other out. They must please the Divine Beasts through diligent labor and creation to accumulate new merit, hoping to be reincarnated as a Combat Species and to avoid being reborn as a Slave Species or Devotion Species.

The Slave Species are those who were insincere in their faith or dared to question the Divine Beasts. They must spend their entire next life in hard labor to atone for the sin of disrespect. This was why the giant crocodile had mutilated itself earlier: it had failed to immediately recognize Su Zhou Venerable Lord’s identity and had even raised its weapon against him, thereby committing the ultimate sin of disrespect. To avoid being reincarnated as a Slave Species in its next life, it naturally had to express its sincerity in the quickest, most direct way possible.

As for... the Devotion Species. Those were beings who were wicked in a past life. Because they resisted the Divine Beasts, they are reborn as Devotion Species. They must offer their own flesh and blood to sustain other life, and only after a hundred lifetimes of Reincarnation can their sins be absolved.
