The Eternal Venerable God, a part of Su Tu, has developed independent spirituality after being attacked by an external force. This entity, now named Su Zhou, explained that it entered Su Tu's body to protect it and gained self-awareness in the process. Su Tu, accepting these changes, declared Su Zhou his brother, a declaration that overwhelmed the newly formed being.

Sentient beings possess unique characteristics. Logically, the Eternal Venerable God, who is a Subspace Evil God, should be devoid of human-like emotions.

However, for reasons unknown, it developed feelings akin to those of humans.

This led Su Tu to utter those words previously.

He was leveraging Su Zhou's emotions, exploiting the deep loyalty he held.

In the past, Su Tu would never have considered such a tactic, yet now it came to him instinctively.

What troubled him further was the profound disdain he felt from the depths of his soul upon realizing that Su Zhou had developed human-like emotions.

It was as if a superior civilization was looking down upon monkeys… with utter contempt.

"The influence of divinity upon me has intensified, but there is currently no known solution for this alteration."

"We can only wait and see if regaining my physical body might bring about a change in the future."

Su Tu contemplated this internally.

Regarding the Eternal Venerable God, although the name was bestowed to grant it a more significant role, having been addressed as 'brother' and given a name, Su Tu now genuinely regarded it as his younger brother.

This was contrary to the absolute rationality dictated by divinity, where a mere tool, once its purpose is served, holds no value nor warrants such treatment.

This act was Su Tu's way of setting a moral compass for himself, a reminder that he remained human.

Much like his persistent efforts to ascertain the whereabouts of Zhou Wuliang.

Su Tu had intended to ask further questions, but a sudden blurring of his vision signaled that the influence of the Power of Cause and Effect had arrived.

Using the power of his Heart and Spirit, he could only maintain his presence for this duration.

He further confirmed the location of this anomalous space: outside of it, an endless expanse of death energy manifested. Only the Death Star Realm within the Star River possessed such a dense concentration of death energy.

It appeared this space, conjured by the strange wood, was situated within the Death Star Realm.

Having pinpointed the location of his physical body, Su Tu had achieved his objective for this excursion. With the spiritual Eternal Venerable God present, a more effective response could be coordinated.

This also provided Su Tu with a measure of reassurance. He had initially harbored several other queries.

For instance, what transformations had his physical body undergone?

Why had the Eternal Venerable God developed sentience?

The faith he was currently accumulating was under the Eternal Venerable God's name; originally, this would manifest at its origin point, but he wondered if it would still be augmented in the present world.

However, time was slipping away rapidly; his vision grew increasingly indistinct, and his body began to flicker in and out of transparency.

In the end, he had only enough time to utter a single sentence to Su Zhou.

"Take care of yourself..."

Even under the overwhelming influence of divinity, he chose to manipulate the nascent hint of humanity that the Eternal Venerable God had developed.

Upon reflection, even Su Tu found the situation somewhat dramatic.

A being dominated by divinity actively employed emotional drivers to foster humanity within a god.

With those words spoken, Su Tu's form completely dissipated from the blood-red space.

Su Zhou listened to Su Tu's parting words, an unidentifiable expression gracing his features.

"Is this what it feels like to be cared for?"

"Indeed, as a 'god,' I have never experienced such a sensation."

"So, brother, even if this is merely your method, I accept it wholeheartedly because, without you, I would not exist."

Su Zhou spoke softly, his expression remarkably gentle, a stark contrast to the chilling and terrifying aura of the apocalypse that emanated from him.

"I hope none of you will deceive me when my brother's spirit and flesh become one..."

Before Su Zhou could finish his words, a clear and resonant voice of a young man echoed through the space.

"When his spirit and flesh unite, he shall ascend above all existence!!"

"We pledge never to deceive you!!"

Within the blood-red expanse, figures gradually materialized from the void. Their forms appeared exceedingly frail, their auras weak, resembling flickering images from an antique projector.

Vague and ethereal, they seemed on the verge of dissipating at any moment.

Neither too many nor too few, precisely forty-two such figures manifested.

....

When Su Tu's eyes fluttered open once more, he found himself back in his original world.

Before him, the Old Man of the Mountain was crouched on the ground, his demeanor reminiscent of a humble farmer.

"You've returned."

The Old Man of the Mountain greeted Su Tu.

"Yes, I apologize for the inconvenience."

Su Tu responded with notable politeness.

"It is as expected, as expected; there is no need for such apologies."

The Old Man of the Mountain spoke with a peculiar accent, its origin indiscernible, yet it carried an inexplicable earthiness.

This piqued Su Tu's curiosity, wondering if accents even existed in that ancient era.

"Did you manage to locate your physical body?"

The Old Man of the Mountain inquired.

"Yes, approximately." Su Tu nodded; barring unforeseen circumstances, the space he had visited was situated in the vicinity of the Death Star Realm.

"Then it’s settled. You mentioned three things earlier, what about the other two things? If they can be done, I, the old man, will get them done together."

The Old Man of the Mountain waved his big hand, speaking with great generosity.

Upon hearing this, Su Tu’s face showed a hint of a smile.

He stroked his chin and spoke gently: "The second thing you certainly can accomplish."

"It wouldn’t even be as troublesome as just now."

Upon hearing this, the Old Man of the Mountain could not help but grow a little curious: "What matter?"

"You should know, I am quite curious and persistent about all kinds of mysterious and extraordinary matters."

"Given my current state, it should be difficult to hide from you; my seven emotions and six desires are suppressed, divinity blankets my heart, but even so, my curiosity about such matters is still unable to be subdued.

You know, I cultivated the Eternal Venerable God for future exploration of Subspace, but earlier, I seemed to hear you say..."

Su Tu’s mouth curled into an extremely sunny smile, resembling a curious student.

"Was the Subspace Evil God created in imitation of the Dao Divine Demons?"

Upon Su Tu’s words, the Old Man of the Mountain’s face instantly turned ashen; he could not help but look toward Xi He, only to see a bright flash of moonlight.

He quickly looked at Little Candle and Big Cat, and these two guys were even more outrageous—Little Candle coiled onto Big Cat, running straight to find a cave and dove in.

"All of them, not one of them, are reliable!!!"

The Old Man of the Mountain spoke grumpily.

Then, with no choice, he looked at Su Tu.

"Little Tu, this matter touches on too much, I can’t reveal the full picture to you, I can only tell you that all this was indeed our doing."

"Both Subspace and the Subspace Evil God were created by us back then, and all this is related to ’ominous’."

"You should know whom we are fighting against."

"For the sake of All Realms, we trapped the ominous within our world, which is the world of the Human Race."

"Subspace and the Evil God are for ’prevention.’

"Any more, I cannot say, as the barrier of this world has reached its limit, and the cycle is about to end."

"If I bring up those subjects, they will sense it and locate this world prematurely."

The Old Man of the Mountain spoke earnestly.

Upon hearing this, Su Tu did not continue to inquire.

Many thoughts should have emerged in his heart, but he quickly extinguished them.

A presence capable of causing such embarrassment to Daluo, leading them to have countless contingencies for ominous, must be unimaginably terrifying.

Perhaps even his own anomalies might have perished due to ominous in the past.

The Moon Mother Xi He, Celestial Supervisor, and the five remnants, Buzhou Mountain, Zhong Mountain’s master; which of these isn’t at the pinnacle of mythology?

Yet they all fell.

Su Tu did not want that horrifying existence to prematurely know about this Star River; he feared his thoughts might touch upon the truth, thereby attracting those beings.

Even though he was not certain whether the opponent could achieve this, being cautious towards those beings is necessary no matter how careful.

Thus, Su Tu did not hesitate to extinguish his curiosity.

"For the third matter, I haven’t thought it through yet, I’ll bother you once I do."

Su Tu addressed the Old Man of the Mountain.

After which, without any pause, he left his original realm.

Because he felt someone outside seeking him.

Inside the grand hall, a woman in a white ritual robe stood quietly looking at Su Tu.

It was the White Robe Bishop; she regarded Su Tu with a slightly complex expression, then softly spoke.

"The seventh day has arrived, I invite the Divine Son to meet with the Compassionate Blood Mother, the Benevolent Bone Father!"
