Chapter 498: Lord of Cold Food, past doubts revealed

Facing the questions thrown by Bowei, Zhao Xing narrowed his eyes slightly.

Then, without a word, he began to insert needles into himself.

Bowei was clearly a little surprised, not knowing what Zhao Xing was doing.

But soon he discovered that Zhao Xing was casting the Hou Bian Method.

"You want to scan me?"

Bowei guessed Zhao Xing's intention.

Zhao Xing didn't speak, and soon turned into a Nine Marsh Divine Descendant.

A humanoid monster with lush hair and a purple-black body, revealing a pair of fiery red eyes, stared at Bowei.

"Useless." Bowei said, "Our realms are too far apart; you can't see me clearly."

The facts were indeed as Bowei said. Because the level difference was too big, even with panel observation, Zhao Xing only obtained Bowei's name.

So Zhao Xing didn't say a word and started eating.

Bowei's eye muscles moved slightly, flashing a trace of doubt.

What for?

Why did he start eating?

"Boom~~"

The monster revealed a trace of painful expression, because what Zhao Xing ate was a Divine Law Pill left by Wei Tianchen.

Fighting Ayiso, Zhao Xing didn't use all his strength, but now just to take a look at Bowei, he first needled himself, and then ate the Divine Law Pill.

Now Zhao Xing's paper strength had reached a terrifying fourteenth rank!

This time, Zhao Xing looked at Bowei again, and it was finally different.

【Name: Bowei】

【Realm: Divine General Scholar (Sealed, Polluted)】

【Knowledge Divine Art: Third Rank (12/10000)】

Although there were only two more lines of information, Zhao Xing smiled satisfied.

"Where Old Qing went, who I am, what the Divine King's incarnation came to do... I actually didn't want to know that much."

A hoarse voice came from the monster's throat. Zhao Xing shrugged and turned to leave.

It was simply upside down; he had always used information gaps to fool others, how could he be fooled by Bowei?

Now that he had checked Bowei's information and observed Bowei's every move, Zhao Xing indeed felt that Bowei had some problems.

If Bowei were a Divine King, Zhao Xing would believe it.

But Bowei's Knowledge Divine Art was not practiced to the top, and he was only at the Divine General level!

Moreover, Bowei did not anticipate his actions at all; he appeared very obviously surprised.

It proved that what he knew might also be wrong information.

As long as the halo of the 'first Divine-level scholar in history' was removed, Bowei's words were not so important to Zhao Xing.

Moreover, this title of 'first Divine-level scholar' also had to be questioned with a big question mark.

"I can understand the seal. Bowei was suppressed in the Reincarnation Cemetery and locked up."

"What does pollution mean? Could it be that Bowei was polluted by information?" Zhao Xing walked on the way back, thinking in his heart.

"Scholars have the Knowledge Technique, and also have means to counter the Knowledge Technique. Could it be that he was polluted by that Divine King who descended to the contemporary era?"

However, Zhao Xing soon lost interest. If Bowei was willing to say it, he would say it; if he didn't want to say it, that was something for the big shots to consider.

In his position, he would seek his government. He was only a ninth-rank demigod, so he didn't have to think about such big things. If the sky fell, there were tall people waiting.

Promise to parole Bowei? Zhao Xing didn't think he had such a big face. The Reincarnation Divine Palace and the Origin Heavenly Palace were not decorations, and they couldn't possibly agree.

As long

"Boom~"

The bronze gate closed. When Zhao Xing came out, Gu Luohe was waiting at the gate.

"How was it?" Gu Luohe asked.

"Bowei wants freedom; he hopes the Reincarnation Temple will release him," Zhao Xing said.

"After Senior Gu left, he actually only stated one guess."

"Bowei guessed that that independent space-time was built by a powerhouse who transcended the five generations of God Emperors using the soil of the Extreme Land."

"He also said that one can see the Extreme Star in the place where the Five Emperors performed the Feng Chan."

Gu Luohe nodded after hearing this: "Assuming that the Five Emperors all performed the Feng Chan there, only the place where the legendary Extreme Land and Extreme Star appear at the same time could satisfy this."

In fact, without Bowei saying it, Gu Luohe, as a Sannong of the Self-Nature School who had personally been to the White Bone God Domain, also had this guess.

So the guess Bowei put forward was not particularly astonishing.

"The reason he only told me is that he guessed I could still enter that space-time."

Zhao Xing almost repeated Bowei's words verbatim.

"Then can you still enter?" Gu Luohe asked.

"No," Zhao Xing shook his head. At least not now; the place of Feng Chan was gray, and he didn't know what conditions needed to be met to enter.

Gu Luohe nodded. This was consistent with the Great Emperor's guess. Zhao Xing, Wei Tianchen, and Zhu Jian were drawn in because of space-time chaos. The space-time chaos automatically smoothed out, and they came out. None of these three should have the ability to enter and exit at will.

Gu Luohe actually didn't trust Bowei either, but the Great Emperor said that Bowei had absorbed information from endless space-time and might know, so he made this trip.

"Bowei might have seen that you were born locally in the Profound Yellow World, which is why he said such things."

"Assuming that the Profound Yellow World possesses a part of the Extreme Land, it is not strange that you, born in this place, possess some special characteristics."

Zhao Xing asked with some doubt: "Senior, since you have been there and have now recovered your space-time memory, you should understand this place, right?"

Gu Luohe, who had been there personally, logically should know more than Bowei.

Gu Luohe pondered: "I tell you, you might not necessarily remember it in the future."

"However, now that you are also a demigod, you are qualified to listen."

Zhao Xing listened quietly.

"Before this, the Empire already had some understanding of the Profound Yellow World," Gu Luohe took Zhao Xing out of the passage of the Reincarnation Temple and walked slowly in the Dao Ancient Layer.

"At that time, the sacrifice of the Dongyan Ancient Clan destroyed the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and awakened an Ancient God (a collective term for naturally born gods)."

"At that time, the Dongyan Ancient Clan used the internal contradictions of the three factions of the Reincarnation Temple to steal a piece of the Derivative God Stele."

"The eighth-generation ruler of the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom before the Desolate Domain Era, who later resigned from the position of ruler and entered the temple to cultivate as a stele watcher, was also Qing Yuzi. He also quietly transferred one piece away during the internal strife."

Hearing Gu Luohe say this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but suddenly realize. No wonder he could see Qing Yuzi in the palace of the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom in the World-Crossing Tower; no wonder Wei Qing Yuzi was just a person who held a lamp and watched the stele.

"The disaster caused by the Dongyan Ancient Clan was actually using the power of the God Stele to open the space-time seal between the past and the present, resurrecting an Ancient God to the present."

"It is quite interesting to talk about," Gu Luohe smiled: "That Dongyan Ancient God did not want to come to the Desolate Domain Era, but due to the natural operation of his space-time laws, he himself should have lived so long and lived in the Desolate Domain Era... coupled with the sacrifice being fragmented, he was forcibly summoned to the contemporary era."

"Your Time Page exerted extraordinary power at that time, also because of the blessing of the space-time laws of the universe."

"Ah?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.

Forcibly summoned to the contemporary era?

Zhao Xing's expression was a bit strange.

A group of juniors worked hard to collect materials, gathered divine artifacts, and finally went against the river of time to pull that Dongyan Ancient God back to the modern era.

As a result, the person didn't want to come back at all.

Thinking carefully, the roar of the Ancient God at that time, could it be that he was saying I don't want to go back? You bastards, don't resurrect me?

It is indeed quite funny.

"Afterward, the Great Emperor, the Palace Master of the Moon God Palace of the Origin Heavenly Palace, a Palace Master of the Reincarnation Temple, and a God-realm being from the Primeval Hill arrived."

"Without much effort, they sent that Ancient God away," Gu Luohe said, "because that Dongyan Ancient God also did not want to live in the Desolate Domain Era."

"But after that, the high-level human race discovered that the Great Dao of Sacrifice, combined with divine artifacts, had great hidden dangers. It could destroy the cast space-time barrier and open an opening."

"Therefore, the Palace Master of the Origin Heavenly Palace briefly gathered the Profound Spirit History Books of all families at that time and weakened the secret method of the Great Dao of Sacrifice again and again."

"And erased the memories of low-level cultivators about the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, as well as the relevant memories of the Great Dao of Sacrifice."

"In order to prevent this from happening again, the names of many gods who accepted sacrifices were all hidden."

"Among them, my father and Lancuan's father, one known as the Heavenly God 'Guxiao', and one known as the Earth God 'Yaojun'."

"Although they did not cultivate the Great Dao of Sacrifice, sacrificing to Heaven and Earth also naturally made them possess similar power, so their honorary titles were also hidden for a period of time."

"So that's how it is," Zhao Xing finally understood the ins and outs of the big pit of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom before, and why he didn't remember the Heavenly God Guxiao and the Earth God 'Yaojun'.

While talking, Gu Luohe took Zhao Xing out of the Dao Ancient Layer and returned to the embassy of the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom.

After walking out, they quickly shuttled through the material world of the Dao Manifestation Layer and soon traveled through most of the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom.

During this period, Gu Luohe and Zhao Xing both saw the statue of the ruler when Qing Yuzi had not yet become a god in the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom.

Gu Luohe slowed down and pointed below: "Qing Yuzi's quiet becoming a god actually violated the agreement between the super powers. Do you know why this is?"

Zhao Xing pondered for a moment and said: "Because of the difference between a Free God and a Tribulation-less True God."

"This is one of the reasons," Gu Luohe nodded. "A Free God and a Tribulation-less True God are almost naturally opposed because of the reasons for their godhood, historical background, and the background of the general environment."

"Cultivating the Origin to become a Free God is essentially plundering the origin of the universe and taking it for one's own use."

"Maintaining Heaven and Earth, repairing Heaven and Earth, and proving the Dao through Heaven and Earth is essentially following the operation laws of the universe and borrowing the power of the origin of the laws, but it will not affect the origin of the universe."

"You just learned about the historical background and the background of the general environment."

"Since a Free God will often experience a God Tribulation, and the worse the environment, the more difficult it is to plunder the origin and cultivate, eventually they will inevitably move toward the path of 'fleeing to the past'."

"Therefore, becoming a Free God in the current era has very harsh conditions, and key resources are all agreed upon by the human super powers to be strictly controlled."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing was filled with emotion. Qing Yuzi was really bold.

Not only did he borrow the Dao to become a god, but he also became a god by skirting the rules.

The Dongyan Ancient Clan broke the rules and damaged the space-time where everyone currently lives, but this was not caused by Old Qing. He could be said to have wanted to stop the Dongyan Ancient Clan, so the culprit could not be said to be him.

But he did indeed become a god through this path, and it is inevitable that someone will follow suit in the future.

Then how was Qing Yuzi finally dealt with?

"The Reincarnation Temple was in the wrong on this matter."

"Originally, all the materials and the origin of the Dao spent by the Dongyan Ancient Clan should have returned to Heaven and Earth, but Qing Yuzi occupied a part, and it was impossible to kill him at this time."

"So the vast majority of the reincarnated souls were given to the Empire, a small part to the Primeval Hill and the Origin Heavenly Palace, and some concessions were made on the quota of the Reincarnation Realm."

Gu Luohe said: "They have to deal with internal contradictions first; this kind of concession is necessary."

"This also includes sending Qing Yuzi, who had already become a god, to the past through various space-times to complete a task."

"That is why there is his promise to let me teach you on his behalf; he is indeed no longer in this era."

Zhao Xing finally understood why Old Qing had never appeared. It turns out this guy had to go to work after becoming a god.

As for what he went to do, Zhao Xing could guess.

Because Gu Luohe just said that Qing Yuzi occupied the origin of the Great Dao, which was originally stolen by the Dongyan Ancient Clan using the Derivative God Stele.

Assuming this kind of thing is seen as money, it is stolen money, which belongs to 'illegal godhood resources'.

However, Qing Yuzi was not a nameless person; he was also a member of the Reincarnation Temple, so it was impossible to kill Old Qing again to sacrifice to Heaven.

What is the philosophy of the Reincarnation Temple?

Balance!

Since that is the case, let Qing Yuzi go and get back this lost part of the resources.

Zhao Xing guessed that the task the temple gave to Qing Yuzi was probably to snatch resources back from the past to complete the balance of returning the Dao to Heaven.

Thinking of this, Zhao Xing seemed to have thought of something: "Senior, in that case, people in the Desolate Domain Era will also actively send people to the past, right?"

"Yes," Gu Luohe nodded. "There are escapers, and there are saviors."

"The God-realm beings who stay in the Desolate Domain Era are all people who firmly believe that the universe has a future and take the initiative to solve problems."

"This is the morality that the God-realm beings who stay in the Desolate Domain Era adhere to."

"Bowei said that the God-realm should all die, and Wei Tianchen viewed the God-realm as parasites. Theoretically, they are both not wrong, but they are both too extreme. They only represent a part of the God-realm, not all."

"As long as people who firmly believe in this point, even if it is not the path of proving the Dao through Heaven and Earth, have the opportunity to become a God-realm being in the Desolate Domain Era."

"The Reincarnation Temple, the Primeval Hill, the Origin Heavenly Palace, and the Empire will all give the most dazzling geniuses in an era the opportunity to become a god."

"Of course, reaching this height also means shouldering responsibilities. Having used resources to become a god, one must also consider the future of the ethnic group and snatch resources back from the past."

Zhao Xing nodded. He could roughly imagine such a picture.

Two groups of gods with different philosophies, using the space-time point of the Desolate Domain Era as a boundary, built one space-time wall after another.

The gods downstream are therefore not harmed by the gods upstream. At the same time, this city wall is not completely closed; it has passages. The present can lead to the past, and the past can also descend to the present.

Perhaps the five God Wars of the Five Emperors era were launched in this way, but the scale today is not that large.

And the question of 'where Qing Yuzi went' that Bowei mentioned, Zhao Xing also got the answer from Gu Luohe's mouth.

Old Qing became a god, but this path to godhood was not very proper. He had to 'return the Dao', which is almost equivalent to paying back a debt, and he had to strive for survival resources for this space-time.

"Then why do the gods who are upstream in the river of space-time still come back?" Zhao Xing asked.

"The first reason is self-protection," Gu Luohe said. "You can imagine that many space-time walls have been built in different eras. Suppose your godhood time point is within a certain space-time wall, and when you secretly take away resources and leave, fleeing to the past."

"Once discovered, the camp that maintains balance will try every means to kill you—in the space-time before you grew up."

"Space-time and causality are one, and this can be threatened."

"Secondly, going against the river of time, the operation of the space-time laws of the universe has a price for individuals."

"Many weak Free Gods must rely on the protection of God Generals and God Kings to survive in the past."

"And in order to get protection, they have to work for these evil God Lords."

Zhao Xing was speechless. It seems that running to the past is not a good thing either. Weak gods still have to be forced to work.

This is not as good as being a master in the Desolate Domain Era; why go back to the past to wash dishes? Could it be that they were deceived by the 'ancient dream'?

From Gu Luohe's conversation, Zhao Xing learned that this kind of descent has active and passive distinctions.

"The one released by Bowei was already a God King. What did he come to the Desolate Domain Era for?"

Weak gods need to jump back and forth to protect themselves, but strong ones like God Kings should have transferred their foundations away from all space-times and should not be chased and killed by others. Why send an incarnation?

Gu Luohe pondered: "Plundering resources, bewitching and preaching, hatred... there are too many reasons, and I can't be sure."

"I only know that the name of this God King is the Lord of Cold Food."

Lord of Cold Food? Zhao Xing muttered to himself, his eyes becoming clear.

In the third era of the Desolate Domain, an Ice Age version will appear. Could it be caused by the Lord of Cold Food?

"Sounds like a God King of the Heavenly Time School..." Zhao Xing speculated.

This name is very characteristic; the Cold Food Festival, it is easy to make people associate it.

"Let's not mention this matter for now. The Palace Master went to track him, so he shouldn't be able to stir up any waves," Gu Luohe said. "Let's return to the original question."

"After the Yuanhai incident, Qing Yuzi became a god and paid the due price. His path to godhood will naturally be explored by all parties."

Zhao Xing thought of Wei Tianchen, who tried to replay Qing Yuzi's path to godhood and came all the way to the Chenluo Desolate Domain, but he did not exactly find the location of the Profound Yellow World.

Gu Luohe pondered: "There are many ways to investigate, the Empire on the surface, the Primeval Hill, the Origin Heavenly Palace... and in the dark, there are the Shadow Temple and the Demon Race."

"However, none of us have gained anything."

Zhao Xing was stunned. It turns out the Empire had been investigating the Profound Yellow World so early. No wonder Old Qing warned him not to go back so early.

But... no gains?

Did the hidden illusion of the Profound Yellow World deceive all the forces?

Zhao Xing decided to confess some things: "Senior, my hometown is not broken, because I can still contact old friends in my hometown."

Gu Luohe seemed very satisfied with Zhao Xing's answer: "I didn't say the Profound Yellow World was broken. Not finding it doesn't mean it doesn't exist."

"If it is really as Bowei said, with the Extreme Land as the base, sitting and watching the Extreme Star, and it is the place where the Five Emperors performed the Feng Chan, then even if the Five Emperors era ends and the Desolate Domain influences it, such a holy land should not disappear completely."

Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was honest. However, he didn't intend to hide it anyway. After all, Ji Si contacted Wang Tianzhi many times, and it might not have escaped the eyes of the Heavenly Master's Mansion.

He intends to stand in the camp of the righteous gods who prove the Dao through Heaven and Earth, and hiding things is not a good thing.

Previously, he brought back the Void Ancestor secret method and passed a test, and now it counts as the second time.

"Senior, then why can't my hometown be found?" Zhao Xing was puzzled.

"I don't know either. I can only guess that it was blocked by the Reincarnation Temple," Gu Luohe said.

Zhao Xing remembered a description of 【Profound Yellow Past】 by Wang Tianzhi.

After the Martial Emperor Ji Che ascended, he passed the position of Human Emperor of the local Great Zhou to Ji Chen.

Before the Profound Yellow World became the 'New Profound Yellow World' and continued to expand, the ascension shackles of the Dao-Establishing Realm still limited the lifespan of the Human Emperor, with a lifespan of no more than a thousand years.

Ji Chen died, passed the throne to Ji Ze, and Ji Ze died again.

Wang: 【After three generations, the current Central Great Zhou is already the Human Emperor Ji Hong.】

【After Ji Hong succeeded to the throne, the Book of Heavenly Mandate, the Human Emperor Sword, and the Kunyuan Hoe appeared one after another.】

It was also at this time that the Profound Yellow World began to change.

At the same time, Ji Hong intended to ascend, but as soon as he flew out, he was shattered by black raindrops!

According to the lifespan of no more than a thousand years, three generations of Human Emperors are about three thousand years.

This is about the same time as when he entered the universe version and experienced the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom incident.

Looking at it this way, the possibility of the Reincarnation Temple blocking the location of the Profound Yellow World, as Gu Luohe said, is very high.

Everything matches... Old Qing warned him not to go back. It seems it is also because he knew the inside story of the temple's blockade? But is the temple's blockade just because they are afraid that someone will learn from Qing Yuzi again? Zhao Xing fell into deep thought.

For the rest of the journey, Gu Luohe did not speak again, traveling in silence.

Since the big boss didn't speak, Zhao Xing wouldn't ask blindly either.

It wasn't until half a year later, when they returned to the Empire's territory, that Gu Luohe spoke again.

"Zhao Xing, there is one thing you must keep in mind."

"Senior, please instruct," Zhao Xing said respectfully.

"You pioneered the Annihilation Star Ancient Road, made contributions to the Sea-Connecting Ancient Road, solved the Diejie Mountain problem, discovered the mysteries of the Spirit Void Origin Realm, and now you have unintentionally caused me to unlock a space-time seal... You have great merit to the Empire."

"I tell you these secrets, which also means you have the opportunity to obtain godhood resources. With your current achievements, developing in the Empire, you have great hope of achieving the God-realm in the future."

Zhao Xing waited quietly for Gu Luohe's subsequent 'but'.

"But!" Gu Luohe's tone changed, and his words became sharp, "Regardless of whether you choose to cultivate the Origin or prove the Dao through Heaven and Earth, assuming you betray this era and flee to the past, you will be my enemy, Gu Luohe, and also the enemy of the Great Emperor."

"No matter which space-time you flee to, you will be hunted down, leaving you with no chance of recovery."

Zhao Xing did not say anything righteous to express his loyalty, but just bowed to Gu Luohe to show that he knew.

This is a camp choice, and no one can guarantee whether the God-realm beings cultivated under them will rebel. After all, once they go to the past space-time to perform tasks in the future, rebellion will become very easy.

Zhao Xing's momentum of rise is unstoppable. He has merit, he has theories, and he has talent... Even if the Red Star Empire does not provide godhood resources here, the Primeval Hill would surely be willing.

Taking a step back, if Zhao Xing wanted to leave the Empire and join the Origin Heavenly Palace or the Reincarnation Temple, he would also receive the same treatment. This is Zhao Xing's personal fortune.

"Gu Luohe saw this point in me, so he said so many words and revealed so many secrets."

Empire, Primordial Realm, Coral City, Huailiu Courtyard. On the first day after Zhao Xing returned, he was looking at the intelligence from the past two thousand years and deeply integrating the memories of his split soul, not letting go of any detail.

"However, there are those who are blind and want to stop my rise."

Zhao Xing's gaze fell on a piece of secret intelligence.

Spark Confidential File · Desolate Domain 2 Era · 1198 · 87.

Great Zhou Confidential File · Desolate Domain 2 Era · 1198 · 1453.

These are two files. Although the recording methods are different, they are both talking about the same thing, which is an inexplicable sudden attack on the Annihilation Star Ancient Road project that happened 1, 53 years ago, as well as the economic encirclement and suppression of the Great Zhou Chamber of Commerce.

The investigation results obtained from the two files both point in the same direction.

"Carlos family," Zhao Xing's eyes became cold.
