Chapter 510: True God Mission, The Struggle for Mountain Head

~35 min read 6,998 words

The Great Zhou's migration plan had not yet begun, but the migration plan of another power in the Profound Spirit Star Domain commenced immediately.

In the 17th World Star Year of the 3rd Era of the Desolate Domain, the Great Elder of the City of Scholars, Feng Chen, announced that the City of Scholars would migrate to the Primeval Hills.

Originally, the Red Star Empire was Feng Chen's first choice. Whether it was the empire's environment, economy, or the base population of cultivators, it was more convenient for the scholars' research.

However, the Great Emperor was absent, and safety became a problem. The Primordial Realm had already experienced an artifact spirit attack incident; how could they ensure the City of Scholars would be absolutely safe?

The Source Heavenly Palace was originally the second choice, but its territory was too small and its management too strict. Scholars' progress required a massive amount of research and experimentation; a small venue simply wouldn't do.

Consequently, Feng Chen set the target for migration to the Primeval Hills.

"The Primeval Hills have three realms and twelve mountains; the place is vast, and safety is guaranteed."

"The Source Heavenly Palace already bears a heavy enough burden dealing with the Evil God's offensive, so moving the City of Scholars to the Primeval Hills for a temporary stay is the most appropriate choice."

On Crystal Island, Venerable Hong Shan condensed an earthen figure and chatted with Zhao Xing about some major events.

"Because the Era Worm problem has still not been completely resolved, everyone is afraid to use mechanical communication now."

"Different Dao Soldier systems have created different artifact spirit systems. The mechanical systems inherited by the major ancient kingdoms, demon clans, and great families are all different."

"Moving the City of Scholars to the Primeval Hills also happens to allow them to research this problem."

"What is the impact on the Primeval Hills?" Zhao Xing asked. "The impact is relatively small," Venerable Hong Shan said. "We don't usually use artifact spirits to control magic arrays or barriers."

"The artifact spirits that rebelled were mainly Dao Soldiers like Earth-Escaping Shuttle Cars and Earth-Piercing Boats."

Zhao Xing nodded. In fact, the Agricultural Official forces did not have a great need for mechanical Dao Soldiers.

For example, in the Primordial Realm, when Zhao Xing participated in the Primordial Assembly, he used Instant Flowers and Void Vines for travel, and learned secret techniques from the 【Three Thousand Dao Seeds】 and the 【Primordial Dao Treasury】 carved into the roots of the Primordial Divine Tree.

If it weren't for the Great Emperor having experimental mechanical products like the 【Red Star Heavenly Soldiers】 and 【Great Luo Divine Soldiers】 series in the Primordial Realm,

looking at the operation of the Primordial Realm's own system, even if the artifact spirits rebelled, it would only be a problem with individual Dao Soldiers, not involving the whole. It would be even more impossible for Seaweed City to be destroyed.

Seaweed City was destroyed by the Great Emperor's mechanical Dao Soldiers.

There are no mechanical God Kings as powerful as the Great Emperor here in the Primeval Hills, so it is impossible for an incident like the one in the Primordial Realm to occur.

"The three realms and twelve mountains also have many divine artifacts, but the artifact spirits of our more powerful divine artifacts are mostly the sages of our Primeval Hills."

"They are not the acquired consciousnesses that are planned and grouped like the Great Emperor's."

Zhao Xing nodded to show he understood.

The Empire's mechanical artifact spirits are systematic, managed from the top down. For example, the Great Expansion Divine Soldier artifact spirit far away in the center of the Empire can also control the Desperate Great Wall, the Four Seasons Heavenly Pass, and the Demon-Suppressing Pass at the border.

The name "Great Expansion Divine Soldier" itself embodies the characteristics of the Great Emperor's mechanical divine Dao.

The Era Worm did not drill directly into the Great Expansion Divine Soldier's body from the beginning, nor did it directly affect the mother body; it affected the sub-bodies.

The divine artifacts used in the Primeval Hills have artifact spirits roughly similar to the situation of the Linen-Clad Divine Physiognomist.

Zhao Xing couldn't even see any artifact spirit rules he had to follow; everything this old man did seemed very willful. He could have different performances with different masters.

"Senior, what is your purpose in coming this time—"

Venerable Hong Shan said: "The Great Emperor is absent, and the Empire's safety has declined significantly."

"Therefore, the Primeval Hills hopes you will return; do not stay in the Empire for now."

Zhao Xing: "Senior Gu has broken through to the God General level, and the Primordial Divine Tree still exists in the Primordial Realm—"

Venerable Hong Shan shook his head: "He will have more things to busy himself with after breaking through to the God General level, and I fear he will have no time to look after you. Furthermore, staying by his side is even more dangerous. Letting you go to the Primeval Hills is also his intention."

The Era Worm sent by the Evil God camp attacked the Ancient Luo River immediately after controlling the Great Luo Heavenly Soldiers and Generals.

This is enough to prove that he is a key target.

Zhao Xing was somewhat moved; the Earth-Benefit faction is indeed good, always remembering him, this "outbound Holy Son."

"When are we leaving?"

"The sooner, the better."

The last solar year of the Luo Emperor era, the 1043rd World Star Year.

A unique space-time territory, Frost Island.

Eight cyan rivers surged with waves, gushing out from eight blue voids on the island, curving upward and disappearing into the void space.

Surrounding the voids were mountain ranges piled up with books.

There were 48, 00 light spots in the cyan rivers, shining like suns.

They were like fixed anchor points; the rivers flowed, but the suns remained stable in the center of the rivers.

Eight insect beasts roared in the rivers, constantly shuttling through one bright light spot after another.

Every time they crossed a light spot, more human figures joined in, surrounding the insect beasts.

The destination of each insect beast and human figure was different, but most pointed to a clear space-time location—the first solar year of the 3rd Era of the Desolate Domain.

The cyan rivers were moving, but everything on the island was still—the flowers, trees, and even the people.

Until a certain moment, the only two figures remaining on the island also began to move.

One of the figures looked up and observed. As their gaze fell, the cyan rivers shrank violently.

"Why did only five divine insects reach the 3rd Era of the Desolate Domain?"

"And those sent to Red Star died so early."

A woman radiating pale blue light, wearing a ruby crown on her head, said. Her skin was snow-white, and her hair was silver-white, like an Ice Queen.

"Xue Qing, don't waste time; add another divine insect." She reached out her palm toward a bloated man sitting cross-legged beside her, on which lay a worm that looked like a wriggling earthworm.

"Zi Yin, don't be so anxious." Xue Qing did not take it. "I haven't decided who to send to the Primeval Hills yet."

"Let the Earth God Official 'Kuang Chuan' go; he was originally from the Primeval Hills."

"Kuang Chuan?" Xue Qing grabbed a book from the air, which contained many names.

Her gaze fell on one of the names.

Kuang Chuan, 16th-tier Demigod. Identity before induction: Guardian of the Earth-Treasury Office of Mengchuan Mountain, Primeval Hills. Inducted at Minggu Mountain in the 7th Era before the Desolate Domain.】

"Why let him go?" Xue Qing was a bit curious.

"The decree of the No-Book God King," God General Zi Yin said. "The struggle for the Mountain Head of the Primeval Hills is about to begin, and only he has the best hope of defeating the other competitors."

"So that's how it is." Xue Qing nodded, then she also sat down.

An ancient zither appeared on her knees, the zither music melodious. The insect beast in God General Zi Yin's hand flew into the sky and fell into the cyan river.

At the same time, a human figure appeared in the river; he bowed toward Zi Yin and Xue Qing, then lay on the insect beast.

3rd Era of the Desolate Domain, 25th World Star Year. After Zhao Xing arranged the Great Zhou's migration matters, his true self headed to the Primeval Hills.

He only left three clones in the Empire to serve as stepping stones for teleportation.

Other clones were recycled and followed his true self to the Primeval Hills.

The 34th year, Zhao Xing and Venerable Hong Shan accepted the task of escorting the City of Scholars' relocation along the way.

As two powerful demigods, they were to protect the safety of one of the City of Scholars' relocation teams.

Because the City of Scholars was relocating as a whole, it involved not just people, but a massive relocation project involving numerous cities, lands, palaces, and magic artifacts.

Therefore, the vast majority of things could not withstand space-time changes and could not be put into the body world or world rings. For example, the divine object World-Transmission Tower itself was a powerful space-time and causality-type divine artifact and could not be contained by another divine artifact.

As well as the massive "Realms of Enlightenment" built in the City of Scholars, accumulated by generations of sages, all needed to be moved in reality at the Manifestation Layer. Otherwise, they would suffer varying degrees of damage.

Being able to read scriptures, earn the scholars' favor, and accumulate some contribution points—why not?

The contribution points for the Old Qing early warning incident had not yet been issued; getting a little more was better than nothing. After all, no one would complain about having too much wealth.

Thus, Zhao Xing also accepted these escort missions.

The 52nd World Star Year, the City of Scholars attack incident occurred.

A God General and two God-Soldier-level powerhouses sent by the Primeval Hills were traveling to the Purple Profound Ancient Kingdom while escorting the "World-Transmission Tower."

The Purple Profound Ancient Kingdom bordered the Black Heaven Desolate Domain, and seven Evil Gods led a large number of believers to launch a sneak attack.

The Primeval Hills' escort God General repelled the Evil Gods. This sneak attack was fruitless, but it still caused about 3, 00 scholars to be injured or killed.

In the same year, in May, July, and September, attacks occurred frequently.

Due to the continued influence of the Era Worm crisis, the chaos in various countries had not yet recovered, coupled with the occasional space-time shocks.

The Primeval Hills had to strengthen its escort capabilities to allow the City of Scholars' relocation to continue.

Perhaps it was luck, or perhaps the target Zhao Xing was escorting was not valuable enough.

Having escorted back and forth eight times in a row, Zhao Xing's team did not suffer any mutations or attacks.

The 53rd World Star Year.

With the occurrence of a large-scale space-time shock, the most serious attack appeared.

And this time, it appeared in the team escorted by Zhao Xing and Venerable Hong Shan.

Mid-July, Zhao Xing and Venerable Hong Shan were escorting the 46th partial relocation of the City of Scholars.

This escort involved one of the City of Scholars' "Nine Classics Pavilions," a dismantled part of the "Realms of Enlightenment," and a massive fleet of boundary ships from the Seventh Dharma Realm dragging a pavilion in the starry sky, a transparent, glowing barrier with countless books flying within, and the Seventh Dharma Realm itself, which had no substance but was hidden in the ninth layer of the Dao-Manifestation Layer, dragged by nine chains.

On this day, Zhao Xing was reading in the 【Medical Classics Pavilion】 of the Nine Classics Pavilions.

Suddenly, his brow began to twitch, as if something ominous was about to happen.

He immediately put down the book and walked out of the pavilion, scanning the fleet of boundary ships in front and behind.

At this time, Venerable Hong Shan also flew out from another boundary ship.

"You felt it too?" Venerable Hong Shan was now in the state of an Eight-Armed Demon God.

He was of the Extreme Land Giant God lineage, commonly known as the Agricultural Official school.

Now that he had even unleashed the 【Demon God Earth-Change Method】, it was clear he also felt the crisis.

The last time Zhao Xing saw Venerable Hong Shan transform was when they were trapped in the Overlapping Realm Mountains.

"Hmm, it just feels wrong." Zhao Xing put on the Space-Time Grain Rain Dharma Robe and also took out the Heavenly Change Divine Needle.

"You take the bow, I'll take the stern; let's split up and check." After Venerable Hong Shan finished speaking, he bypassed the Nine Classics Pavilions and headed straight for the rear of the boundary ship fleet.

Zhao Xing thought for a moment and began to use a large number of Primordial Clones to guard the Seventh Dharma Realm, the Realms of Enlightenment, and the Nine Classics Pavilions.

Only then did his true self begin to screen them one by one.

Not long after he and Venerable Hong Shan took action,

eight elders of the City of Scholars, led by the Seventh Realm scholar Yan Chuan, suddenly arrived at the Nine Classics Pavilions area.

Zhao Xing's clone immediately sensed something abnormal.

"Elder Yan, is something the matter?"

Yan Chuan did not answer Zhao Xing's question; he and the seven City of Scholars elders behind him had sorrow and anger in their eyes.

The next moment, the aura of the eight scholars changed in unison.

Monstrous killing intent!

Zhao Xing's pupils shrank.

When a scholar destroys their innate foundation, their aura will undergo a significant change.

Since the Bowei incident, the scholars' upper limit had also been greatly improved.

The Seventh Realm scholar was already at the Demigod realm, and Yan Chuan was an 11th-tier scholar.

The seven people behind him were also 8th-tier Emperor-level.

When they actively lifted their combat restrictions,

everyone's realm on Zhao Xing's panel soared significantly.

Their lifespan, however, shrank drastically.

In the end, Yan Chuan's true spirit strength reached an astonishing 14th tier, and the other seven reached the 13th tier.

"Elder Yan! Stop! What are you doing? Have you forgotten me, forgotten the purpose of this trip?"

"Zhao Xing, you helped the Primeval Hills and the Source Heavenly Palace and other powers carve up my City of Scholars' property, and you still have the face to ask me why?!" Yan Chuan's gaze toward Zhao Xing was incomparably cold.

"For generations, the City of Scholars has cultivated talent for the entire human race, pouring out our hearts and blood, yet you killed Elder Bowei and arbitrarily changed the 【Follower of the Dao】 plan."

"Now, even the City of Scholars is about to be carved up by you!"

"You—"

Zhao Xing immediately understood that the space-time memories of Yan Chuan and these eight City of Scholars elders had become chaotic.

In Yan Chuan's cognition, he had already become an accomplice to the super powers.

And the Primeval Hills' help with the City of Scholars' relocation had also become the Primeval Hills and other super powers wanting to carve up the City of Scholars.

"Swish~"

After Venerable Hong Shan appeared and saw the astonishing aura of Yan Chuan and the eight others, his expression also changed.

Scholars are usually gentle, but when they decide to burn their lives for a final battle, scholars are also the most terrifying.

These eight people, including Yan Chuan, had broken through three calamities in just a few words, and their strength had reached an astonishing level.

Zhao Xing looked at the panels of these people, the data constantly changing.

Golden Body 108, 00 Extremes; Seven-Life Life Palace; Nine-Turn Zither Heart; Infinite Sword Gall; Eight-Turn Spirit-Drowning; Infinite Wandering God Palace; Breeding Mother Core; History River, Medical Classics.

North Wind Hundred Rivers Array, Life Calamity Method, Eight-String Divine Skill, Universe Heavenly Sword Technique, Reincarnation Altar (Spirit Void Version), Beast Spirit Transformation, Taiyi Heavenly Poison Pill Method—

A uniform all-around template.

When Yan Chuan drew the long sword from behind him, Zhao Xing couldn't help but take a step back.

Don't fear scholars scolding people; fear scholars drawing swords.

When a scholar takes out a weapon other than a book, that is when they are going to kill, and also when their combat power is at its strongest.

"Hong Shan Seal, go!"

Venerable Hong Shan knew that Yan Chuan and these people could not be saved, and there was no way to correct them.

Unless they could move the Profound Spirit History Book here right now to correct their space-time memories.

Yan Chuan and these eight people were simply determined to break the jade rather than be the tile; even if they destroyed the Nine Classics Pavilions, they didn't intend to give it to the Primeval Hills.

Yan Chuan's long sword lashed out, heading straight for Venerable Hong Shan's life-bound Dao Soldier.

"Clang!"

The mountain base collided with the sword tip, deafening.

The pale blue long sword flickered with cold light, and an ice-blue plane formed in the void at the sword tip.

The base of Hong Shan actually began to freeze, and the heavy earth veins began to operate unsmoothly.

The sword was very small; compared to the massive Hong Shan mountain body, it was simply not worth mentioning.

Yet the Hong Shan Seal could not press down.

Yan Chuan, with just one sword, blocked Venerable Hong Shan.

"Damn, so perverted!"

Zhao Xing cursed inwardly.

Facing this situation, he also had to go all out.

"Puff puff puff puff puff puff puff~"

The Heavenly Change Divine Needle was inserted into his body, instantly completing the transformation.

At the same time, more than a hundred Primordial Grass Dolls also blocked the Medical Classics Pavilion, stopping the seven elders.

However, Zhao Xing's attention was mainly on Yan Chuan.

Because Yan Chuan was the biggest threat.

"Burning World Divine Eye!"

Zhao Xing's eyes reflected Yan Chuan's figure, and two rays of fire drifted toward Yan Chuan.

The dark void was cut open by the two fire lines, and the twisted void sealed off Yan Chuan's escape route.

Yan Chuan hugged his hands in the void, and a large amount of black water flow suddenly appeared under his feet.

At the same time, gusts of void wind appeared.

"North Wind Hundred Rivers Array? No, it's the North Wind River God Array!"

Yan Chuan possessed an internal world, and his internal world contained experimental heavy water; this was an Agricultural Official's method.

Heavy water forming a river to create an array; this was a method of an array master among mechanical masters.

The void wind was not his wind method, but borrowed; this was a priest's method.

Above the hundred black rivers, a phantom of a god appeared.

This was likely some Evil God whose cognition changed along with Yan Chuan's memory change.

Yan Chuan didn't even look at the two fire lines shot from Zhao Xing's eyes, even though these two fire lines were already at the peak power of the 14th tier.

"Swish swish~~"

The two strands of Burning World fire burned through the void, but upon entering the North Wind River God Array, their power began to diminish greatly, and the fire origin began to twist.

After crushing a hundred River God phantoms, the power had already dropped below the 10th tier.

"Hum~"

The ordinary scholar's robe on Yan Chuan's body was burned away, but golden light emerged.

The Void Ancestor's Reincarnation Golden Body protected his body!

It directly ignored this damage.

"He is almost invincible in a short time. Hmm? What is he rubbing?" Zhao Xing's expression suddenly shook.

He saw Yan Chuan's feet hovering in the air, his skirt fluttering, and the seven scholars beside him no longer tried to attack Zhao Xing's clones.

The seven people surrounded Yan Chuan, setting up layers of defensive barriers, seemingly protecting Yan Chuan as he cast his spell.

Yan Chuan's fingertips plucked lightly.

It seemed like nothing happened around him.

But Zhao Xing's Great Sun Sea felt that the stars within his sight were actually moving rapidly.

The nearby Yang stars carried the Yin and other world stars to rotate, their light connecting to each other, forming ultra-large-scale light membranes.

"Heavenly stars as strings, Life Palace scales; this is the Life Calamity Method!"

Yan Chuan used the Yin and Yang twin stars as a base, playing the five-tone twelve divine scales.

This piece was a perfect combination of the three great Daos of priest, life master, and musician.

It was called "Life Calamity."

Its ultimate goal was to mobilize a wide range of cosmic stars to create a tribulation-crossing field.

When Yan Chuan finished playing, everyone within this range would be triggered by him to undergo a True Spirit Tribulation!

Zhao Xing naturally recognized this piece; this was a musician's divine skill, known as the "Funeral Divine Song."

He was a Priest-Musician!

"Damn, Yan Chuan is going to send both me and Venerable Hong Shan away."

"I said the Priest Dao still needs to be cut!"

Zhao Xing felt that he and Venerable Hong Shan had been placed on a cosmic starry altar.

As long as this song was finished, both he and Hong Shan would involuntarily trigger their next True Spirit Tribulation.

Great sound is silent; although he hadn't heard the sound yet, Venerable Hong Shan's nerves had already begun to tighten.

"Drink ah!!"

Venerable Hong Shan's eight demon god arms waved into afterimages, the eight arms containing eight demon god talents.

The sky was full of afterimages, constantly impacting the array barrier.

"Puff puff puff puff~" Except for Yan Chuan, the seven scholars all began to vomit blood.

Old Hong was, after all, a generation of Mountain Lord; he still had some tricks.

But he was still a bit short of breaking the array's defense.

Yan Chuan was multi-tasking, not only interfering with his spellcasting with mental will methods to reduce his spell power.

At the same time, he was also controlling the flying sword to wrestle with his Hong Shan Seal.

Even though he beat the seven scholars until they vomited blood, he couldn't stop Yan Chuan's playing.

All of Zhao Xing's clones were retracted into his body, and his true self stood on the steps in front of the Medical Classics Pavilion, motionless.

He certainly hadn't given up resistance, sitting and waiting to be sacrificed.

He was waiting.

Waiting for Yan Chuan to put all his remaining lifespan and remaining energy into this piece.

There was no time to cast the next attack.

The song was halfway through.

Zhao Xing closed his eyes.

The Great Sun Burning Sea in his body surged, reflecting all the stars of the Holy Wing Ancient Kingdom.

Yan Chuan's spells were indeed numerous, but he had no God-level secret techniques of the Heavenly Time faction.

Zhao Xing's Great Sun Holy Body began to tremble, the sea boiled, and countless stars began to vibrate.

A new vibration rhythm joined this piece.

Zhao Xing began to use the Heavenly Time Method to seize control of the Yin and Yang twin stars.

"Cluster!"

Yan Chuan's fingers plucked the void faster and faster, his body trembled along with it, and his scales became chaotic.

When the Life Calamity played to two-thirds, it was already completely messed up.

"Boom!"

A large number of barren planets in the distance began to explode, colliding with each other and losing their luster.

It was like setting off fireworks in the universe.

Yan Chuan's fingers shattered inch by inch, and he looked up at Zhao Xing in disbelief.

"You, how did you do it?"

At the last moment of his life, Yan Chuan's nature as a scholar came to the fore, and he asked with incomparable curiosity.

"Heavenly Time Divine Method." Zhao Xing satisfied his last wish.

"Zhao Xing, your talent for spells is outstanding, and your two treatises are so stunning—but why do you want to help them harm the City of Scholars."

Yan Chuan stood up shakily, tears in his eyes, and issued a soul-searching question to Zhao Xing.

After speaking, he and the seven City of Scholars elders turned into powder, their origins swept away by the void wind, drifting all over the universe.

"Sigh—" Zhao Xing sighed. When he held the Annihilation Star Dharma Assembly, Yan Chuan was also present as a witness.

Yan Chuan also remembered him, and remembered these experiences, but some of his key memories had become twisted.

Cognition is composed of countless life experiences; when memories deviate, cognition becomes twisted.

He remembered himself, but he didn't remember that the City of Scholars' migration was ordered by Great Elder Feng Chen, nor could he distinguish between good and evil.

"I wonder how many more people will have their memories twisted and their cognition confused under the space-time shock." Zhao Xing sighed.

It was clear that scholars like Yan Chuan had been targeted by the Evil Gods.

The source lay in the 【North Wind River God】 he had just summoned.

There was no time for sadness; Zhao Xing immediately began "cognitive identification" on all personnel of the entire boundary ship fleet.

In the end, he discovered that fourteen Lord-level scholars had severe memory confusion.

To avoid a repeat of the Yan Chuan tragedy, Zhao Xing restricted these fourteen people with magic power and then used the Desire Dream Method to make them fall into a deep sleep.

After repeatedly screening several times, Venerable Hong Shan and Zhao Xing finally sat together again.

The two were silent for a long time, and Venerable Hong Shan spoke: "Zhao Xing, perform a cognitive identification on me."

"God General Mengchuan won't be able to make it in time; the team escorting the Myriad Dao Tree has been attacked."

The Myriad Dao Tree and the Nine Classics Pavilions are among the most important treasures of the City of Scholars.

The Nine Classics Pavilions and the Myriad Dao Tree possess protection functions similar to the Profound Spirit History Book.

However, the range is much smaller; only when Dharma treatises enter the pavilion can the founders who wrote the books on the Dao Tree receive protection.

This attack on the Myriad Dao Tree and the Nine Classics Pavilions was more precise than the previous large-scale indiscriminate attacks; the target was the human elite of the contemporary space-time.

Zhao Xing pointed his finger, and a water curtain appeared, beginning to show scenes as he performed cognitive identification on Venerable Hong Shan.

At the same time, he also asked about the situation with God General Mengchuan.

"The Myriad Dao Tree wasn't snatched, was it?"

"No." Venerable Hong Shan shook his head. "God General Mengchuan is a free-spirited God General of the mental path; he is as famous as the Empire's Heart God General Qi Luo."

"My grand-master is good at defense, and God General Qi Luo is good at offense."

"It is very difficult for Evil Gods to break through and confuse memories from the inside in front of him."

Zhao Xing also breathed a sigh of relief; if the Myriad Dao Tree were lost, the loss would be huge.

If the imprints on the Myriad Dao Tree were erased, the human cultivation system of the Profound Spirit Star Domain would regress.

This is not a question of backing up or not; erasing imprints through the Myriad Dao Tree is like the Moon Palace Master shielding the Yuan Sea Ancient Kingdom incident through the Profound Spirit History Book, and cutting off the sacrificial Dao; it will cause many spell theories to be forgotten.

The battle between gods has never been about killing how many people.

No matter how many people are killed, as long as it is not extinction, the God Realm of the Desolate Domain era can quickly cultivate another batch of powerhouses.

In essence, True Gods and Evil Gods are competing for the assimilation of faith and concepts.

It's just that some Evil Gods have fierce methods, like the River God that appeared just now.

Some are relatively gentle, like the Infinite True God; fifty-odd years have passed, and Zhao Xing hasn't found any signs of activity from the Infinite True God, nor has he received any instructions.

"That's about it; you have no problems." Zhao Xing quickly ended the cognitive identification on Venerable Hong Shan.

"It's your turn to identify me."

"No need." Venerable Hong Shan waved his hand. "Your two classics are both imprinted on the Dao Tree, and the Dao Tree hasn't been lost. If even you have memory confusion and cognitive bias, then our era has no hope; let it just be destroyed."

Zhao Xing nodded; having treatises written on the Dao Tree is a very strong protection.

The Profound Spirit History Book is oriented toward the entire domain, while the Myriad Dao Tree protects the elite; the power level is of course not on the same level.

The boundary ships continued to advance, leaving the territory of the Holy Wing Ancient Kingdom.

Upon entering the territory of the Primeval Hills, a new prompt appeared in Zhao Xing's Star Mirror, showing that this escort mission was meritorious, preserving the Medical Classics Pavilion and the Realms of Enlightenment, and the Seventh Dharma Realm arrived safely.

He gained about 30 units of contribution points.

【Name: Zhao Xing

【Cultivation: 12th-Calamity Demigod】

【Profession: Agricultural Official】

【Identity: Primordial Envoy/Taiqiu Envoy】

【Total Contribution Points: 2, 52, 00】

【Remaining Contribution Points: 651, 50】

【Contribution Ranking: 78, 46】

At this time, the Star Mirror had restored some functions, and demigods of Zhao Xing's level could use it with peace of mind.

However, places like the City of Mind could not be entered, and the Profound Spirit Treasury exchange could be used, but delivery would not be so timely.

As for the contribution points for the early warning, they had not yet been approved. According to Zhao Xing's experience in doing tasks, it might be necessary to wait for the Era Worm storm to pass,

so that the superiors could have an overall judgment and reward based on merit.

"Hahaha, great news!" While landing at a star city next to Grain God Star to rest, Venerable Hong Shan suddenly walked into Zhao Xing's room excitedly.

"What great news?"

"Hahaha, Venerable Kuang Chuan has returned!" Venerable Hong Shan laughed loudly.

"Venerable Kuang Chuan?" Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled.

"Venerable Kuang Chuan is the senior brother of the Mengchuan Mountain lineage, and also the chief disciple of God General Mengchuan."

"Among our generation, he was the most dazzling. If he hadn't disappeared, I fear Venerable Meishan would not have become the Mountain Head."

"However, ever since the 7th Era before the Desolate Domain, when he was ordered to explore the Black Heaven Desolate Domain, he lost contact. At the time, it was once thought he had died."

"Doesn't that mean he disappeared for nine eras?" Zhao Xing was not happy; instead, he felt somewhat vigilant.

"Senior Hong Shan, don't you think there is something wrong?"

Venerable Hong Shan shook his head and said: "I just learned that Senior Brother Kuang Chuan returned fifteen years ago. After returning, he underwent the interrogation of three God Generals, and he passed all three times. Of course, there is no problem."

"That is indeed a good thing." Zhao Xing smiled.

He didn't think too much about it; after all, such things were not particularly fresh. Since the God Realm felt there was no problem, why should he worry?

"Senior Brother Kuang Chuan discovered the existence of Minggu Mountain; he was originally ordered to explore that legendary first great mountain."

"Junior Brother Lushan said that this time Senior Brother Kuang Chuan returned, he brought back a lot of Minggu Mountain soil, and even a complete Minggu Earth Vein."

Zhao Xing raised an eyebrow. Minggu Mountain is the first great mountain in the known universe territory.

However, this only existed in legends; it was actually found?

And he even brought back an earth vein; Venerable Kuang Chuan's contribution is truly great!

"Now Senior Brother Kuang Chuan is in seclusion, writing the "Minggu Mountain Dharma Treatise"."

Venerable Hong Shan was very excited: "My Primeval Hills is truly favored by the Extreme Land; first there is you, Zhao Xing, making the Earth-Era Earth-Change Theory of the Overlapping Realm Mountains, and now there is Senior Brother Kuang Chuan discovering Minggu Mountain—"

Seeing Venerable Hong Shan so happy, Zhao Xing accompanied him in his happiness for a while.

However, not long after chatting, Zhao Xing found an excuse to leave.

"Swish swish"

After shuttling through space several times, Zhao Xing entered the Dao-Ancient Layer.

The White Jade Five-Mound Ship floated in the storm origin of the Dao-Ancient Layer, and Zhao Xing walked into a room.

Inside, a statue of the Infinite True God was enshrined.

Compared to the small statue he first got from Fairy Nifeng, this one was already much larger.

The statue flickered with red light; this was the Infinite True God issuing a decree.

"It comes as soon as it's called; it seems the Infinite True God can't sit still either."

"But my second-ring mission hasn't been completed yet; what is the situation now?"

Zhao Xing put on the Enlightenment Golden Hoop and then walked in.

Offering incense, praying, and then bowing and chanting: "Subordinate respectfully requests the True God to manifest."

Swish~

A wisp of red light burned in the incense burner in front of the statue, and then a face appeared in the flames.

"Zhao Xing, which era are you in now?" the Infinite True God asked.

Zhao Xing was slightly startled. Could it be that this statue's power is not as strong as the avatar, and it can't even distinguish time?

"Reporting to the True God, I am in the 53rd World Star Year of the 3rd Era of the Desolate Domain."

"Oh, then there is still time. I thought you had received the reward for killing the Era Worm and had already headed to other space-times to break through the God Pass."

"The True God knows about my affairs?"

"Haha." The Infinite True God laughed loudly. "Qing Yuzi used the Hou Bian Method to deceive the heavens, disguising himself as a God General under the No-Book God King to steal secrets, which has already spread to the 8th solar year of the Luo Emperor era."

"He is famous in the endless space-time; is there any god who doesn't know about this?"

Zhao Xing's heart shook. So that's where Old Qing's intelligence came from?

Old Qing is truly bold! Last time he stole the Great Expansion Divine Tablet from the God Temple, and this time he stole major secrets.

Famous in the endless space-time? This kind of showing off makes even Master Zhao envious.

"Old Qing's sneaky nature still hasn't changed—what Qing Yu God? Stealing God!" Zhao Xing thought sourly.

"However, the price of fame is not easy to bear. Qing Yuzi is but a God Soldier; even if he has some aspects comparable to a God General, his strength is ultimately limited."

The Infinite True God mocked: "He is famous now, and the intensity of the pursuit he faces is also very great. I fear he is now a stray dog,

fleeing madly, and whether he can survive is another matter."

"Zhao Xing, you must not receive his messages again, so as not to be implicated."

Hearing the Infinite True God say this, Zhao Xing thought of the incident where Old Qing's statue shed tears and shattered.

Sure enough, Old Qing was beaten to tears!

"Thank you, True God, for the reminder! Subordinate will keep it in mind!"

Keep it in mind, but how to act is another matter.

However, Zhao Xing was still very surprised. The Infinite True God actually favored him so much that he risked coming to specifically remind him?

Facts proved that Zhao Xing thought wrong.

The Infinite True God just mentioned Qing Yuzi in passing; he had a mission to assign.

"Zhao Xing, the struggle for the Mountain Head of the Primeval Hills will likely be greatly advanced."

"This God wants you to win the position of Mountain Head; do not let this authority fall into the hands of others."

Zhao Xing was startled. The struggle for the Mountain Head of the Primeval Hills should be about three or four thousand years away? Advanced?

Originally, Zhao Xing benefited from the early warning incident and would have at least 100 million contribution points issued in the future, so he didn't have such a great pursuit for the position of Mountain Head.

But now that the Infinite True God mentioned it, he became interested.

It's just that he didn't understand what the Infinite True God wanted him to do with this Mountain Head position.

"True God, my strength is low, and I may not be able to win it." Zhao Xing said tactfully.

He felt that the Infinite True God might not reveal his true intentions to him, so he simply asked for some benefits first.

"Your strength is indeed a bit low." The Infinite True God evaluated. "How about this, you go to the Black Heaven Desolate Domain when you have time,

summon this God's divine power avatar, and I will give you a fortune."

"Subordinate obeys." Zhao Xing agreed immediately. In any case, he is an undercover agent, so he takes it with peace of mind and is not afraid of people knowing.

"I wonder to what extent the True God wants me to do?" Zhao Xing began to ask for mission details.

"Winning the Mountain Head position is naturally the best." The Infinite True God said: "Past Mountain Heads have the qualifications to enter the Primeval Realm, the Yuan-Ancient Realm, and the Dao-Manifestation Realm."

"And they can hold the three great Earth-Benefit divine artifacts of the Primeval Hills."

"This God letting you win the Mountain Head position is just to observe the power of the divine artifacts."

"I am an array God General who attained the Dao through heaven and earth; the divine artifacts of the Primeval Hills are beneficial to my Dao."

"As long as you can let me observe them then, this God will not treat you badly."

The Infinite True God actually told him his purpose just like that; Zhao Xing truly admired his openness. This "Evil God" is simply surprisingly righteous.

"True God, if I can't win it, what should be the second goal?" Zhao Xing asked again.

"Then you must not let Kuang Chuan sit in this Mountain Head position." The Infinite True God said.

"Kuang Chuan?" Zhao Xing's brow twitched. "True God, do you mean that this Venerable Kuang Chuan has a problem—"

This made him even more confused. Even if Venerable Kuang Chuan had a problem, he should be a member of the past camp.

Why would the Infinite True God want to stop him?

"Hmph, even those living in the past are not all True Gods like this God."

"There are also some who disguise themselves as True Gods, but are actually Evil Gods with opposing concepts!"

"Such Evil Gods have their own set of heretical theories and are even more abominable than those ignorant Evil Gods!"

Hearing the Infinite True God's tone, Zhao Xing roughly understood.

Even in the past space-time, there existed multiple camps, hostile to each other.

No wonder the Desolate Domain era camp was significantly weaker, yet it was still not completely destroyed.

The Profound Spirit Star Domain, Red Star Great Emperor, Moon Palace Master, Reincarnation God Temple—although their powers are different, their concepts are consistent, and their actions are consistent. The Profound Spirit Treasury is an example. If they weren't like-minded, how could they create such a treasury?

In the contemporary space-time, although the overall strength is weaker, they are absolutely united; in the past space-time, although the strength is stronger, they are each their own masters, conquering each other.

This gave the Desolate Domain era camp room to survive.

"If you can win the Mountain Head, you must finish off Kuang Chuan; if you can't win the Mountain Head, you must finish off Kuang Chuan even more."

"In short, Kuang Chuan cannot live."

After the Infinite True God finished speaking, the flames extinguished.

Walking out of the temple, Zhao Xing couldn't help but click his tongue.

"How exactly did Venerable Kuang Chuan and the Evil God behind him offend the Infinite True God?"

"If you can win, you must finish him off; if you can't win, you must also finish him off."

"In the eyes of the Infinite True God, he has no way to live at all."

Zhao Xing didn't understand, but was greatly shocked.

This request from the Infinite True God finally had a bit of the flavor of an Evil God.

"Regardless of who Venerable Kuang Chuan is, since he has defected to the Evil Gods, and even the Infinite True God hates him so much, I fear he is also not tolerated by the present."

"However, I also have to consider whether I can beat him."

Zhao Xing didn't intend to take the Infinite True God's gift yet; he had to use the panel to see Venerable Kuang Chuan's strength first.

When Zhao Xing returned to the vicinity of Grain God Star and ended this escort mission,

a figure soon drilled out of the soil; it was Lushan Jun.

"Zhao Xing, that clone of yours has just come out of seclusion; you can go to Meishan to retrieve it."

"Oh? Out of seclusion?" Zhao Xing felt happy. The Primordial Clone he left in Meishan to study had been learning for three thousand years. "I wonder what Primeval Hills unique skills it has mastered."

"Once the split soul merges, everything will be understood."

Zhao Xing immediately performed the Earth-Escaping Technique and began to shuttle along with Lushan Jun.
