Chapter 518: The Evil God is actually me?!
Zhao Xing had considered that Kuang Chuan might try to defend himself, or even that God General Meng Chuan might intervene when he came to question him, but he had never imagined that Kuang Chuan would simply admit it outright.
Could it be that Kuang Chuan was the same as him, having also accepted some mission to go undercover in the Evil God faction?
"So you accepted a mission to go undercover among the Evil Gods."
"No," Kuang Chuan shook his head.
"If you aren't an undercover agent, then you must have truly defected." Zhao Xing sneered and pulled out his Great Dao Divine Artifact.
"Which Evil God are you serving?"
"The Undying Underworld God."
"Did he send you to compete for the position of Mountain Head? And how did you pass the trial of the Primordial Hill Divine Realm?"
Kuang Chuan remained calm, as if he were completely unaware of his own predicament.
"The answer to both of those questions is actually the same, though I am not certain if I should tell you."
"Stop playing games, Kuang Chuan," Zhao Xing shouted. "If you want to confess, now is your last chance."
Venerable Kuang Chuan was silent for a moment, then extended a finger and pointed at Zhao Xing.
This action almost caused a misunderstanding, with Zhao Xing thinking Kuang Chuan was about to start a fight.
He almost threw the Yuanji Mountain he was holding, but after Kuang Chuan extended his finger, there was not a shred of magic power fluctuation.
Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, as if he had thought of something.
"You mean..."
"Yes," Kuang Chuan nodded.
Zhao Xing sat down, speechless, and even put away the Yuanji Mountain.
He already understood what Kuang Chuan meant.
He had just asked: "Did he send you to compete for the Mountain Head? And how did you pass the trial of the Primordial Hill Divine Realm?"
Kuang Chuan said the answer to both questions was the same.
Then Kuang Chuan pointed at him.
In other words, the person who actually sent Kuang Chuan back was none other than himself!
The reason he was able to pass the Primordial Hill's divine realm trial was also because of himself!
Why would it be himself?
Zhao Xing quickly thought of the answer: his study-abroad clone.
More than three thousand years ago, he had sent out a study-abroad clone to search for the Divine Law of Heavenly Timing.
It first went to the Four Seasons Palace, then visited various Heavenly Timing faction forces, and about two thousand years ago, it entered the Black Sky Desolate Domain and was never heard from again.
At the time, Ji Si and Yang Baihe had monitored him one after another, and both had confirmed this.
Because the split soul was independent, after Zhao Xing returned, he could only vaguely sense a general direction, but he did not receive the memories of the study-abroad clone. Later, the clone completely lost contact, and even when Zhao Xing went to the Black Sky Desolate Domain to accept the mission of the Boundless True God, there was no response.
Originally, Zhao Xing thought the clone had perished in a dangerous area of the Black Sky Desolate Domain.
But now it seemed it wasn't that simple.
His study-abroad clone hadn't just survived; it had encountered Kuang Chuan!
If it was his own split soul that sent Kuang Chuan back, then naturally, every time the higher-ups of the Primordial Hill tested Kuang Chuan, he would pass.
"After all this, the Evil God is actually me?" Zhao Xing's expression was somewhat strange.
No wonder Kuang Chuan took the lead in congratulating him when he created the Ten Directions Mountain Classic.
In the third stage, Kuang Chuan also did not initiate a Great Dao contention.
If he had sent him back, how could Kuang Chuan do otherwise?
"When did you meet my clone?" Zhao Xing asked.
This was the 99th-level underground space of the Primordial Hill, and with the three great mountain-suppressing artifacts on him, he didn't need to worry about leaking secrets.
"One thousand four hundred and fifty-three years ago."
"In the 'Rock,' one of the eight great dangerous areas of the Black Sky."
Kuang Chuan extended two fingers and pulled a wisp of true spirit memory from his ear.
It drifted toward Zhao Xing like a willow catkin.
Soon, Zhao Xing's true spirit 'saw' the memory scene of Kuang Chuan from 1453 years ago, located in a rocky area filled with ghost-like formations.
This was Kuang Chuan's first-person perspective:
After entering the rock zone, he had intended to capture some rock lifeforms to take back for experiments.
Although this place was extremely dangerous, Kuang Chuan had been here many times.
With his strength, as long as he was careful, capturing some rock clansmen in the outer area was quite safe.
Kuang Chuan had come to an area he named 'Triangular Red Rock.'
Because the rock clansmen in this place, regardless of their body shape, always had a red triangular body at their core.
"Strange, where did the rock clansmen of Triangular Red Rock go?"
A ball of green flame hovered above Kuang Chuan's head, illuminating the surroundings, as he muttered to himself.
In the past, when he reached this point, he should have seen the rock clansmen long ago.
But today, he had already searched for three boundary-element units and still hadn't seen any rock lifeforms.
So Kuang Chuan had to continue deeper.
As it happened, his research had also reached a bottleneck, and he needed to capture higher-level rock lifeforms.
After walking about 21 boundary-element units, Kuang Chuan finally discovered the rock clan.
"Hmm? Why are there so many corpses?"
Kuang Chuan had found the rock clan, but what he found were remains.
Large amounts of rock had split open, in piles like shattered stone mountains, everywhere.
Kuang Chuan touched the fracture pattern of a certain rock, and his expression became solemn.
"The cores of the rock clan have all been taken, and they were all killed with a single blow."
"The technique doesn't look like internal strife among the rock clan; it looks more like a human spell."
The rock clan was just a general term; internally, they were divided into many tribes, such as the Triangular Red, Quenched Gold Rock clan, Blazing Fire Rock clan...
In the past, when he came to capture them, he could see different rock clans fighting each other.
Devouring the earth's core was the main way for the rock clan to become stronger.
With a vigilant heart, Kuang Chuan continued forward.
As the 'corpses' became more numerous, he obtained more and more information.
"The direction of the fracture patterns is roughly the same, all splitting from the inside. Although the cracks vary in size, it looks very much like a Si Nong's spell."
"Could this be the Earth Core Earth-Splitting Method of the Primordial Hill?"
The Earth Core Earth-Splitting Method, a spell both strange and familiar.
Kuang Chuan was originally from the Primordial Hill, so of course he recognized this spell.
But he had never cultivated it, because Kuang Chuan felt this spell relied too much on luck.
The uncertain factors were too great; for someone like Kuang Chuan, it was not a good choice.
Experiments required rigor and regularity; the Earth-Splitting Method, which was heavily influenced by luck, was the type of technique Kuang Chuan hated most.
Moreover, this Earth Core Earth-Splitting Method was different from what he had seen.
The Earth Core Earth-Splitting Method seemed excessively strong, but the Dao rhyme carried by the spell itself was not that strong.
It was as if there was someone whose Earth Core Earth-Splitting Method was not at a very high realm, but whose luck was incredibly high.
It even exceeded Kuang Chuan's understanding.
"According to the ratio of spell foundation to luck amplification, if it really is the Earth Core Earth-Splitting Method, wouldn't this person's luck exceed the 25th Derivation?"
Kuang Chuan was even more suspicious and uncertain.
Based on the existing information, his conclusion was:
A Primordial Hill Si Nong with a luck level exceeding the 25th Derivation and a realm around a 10th-order Demigod, who was skilled in the Earth-Splitting Method, had come to the rock-playing area of the Black Sky Desolate Domain.
Although he had reached a conclusion, Kuang Chuan did not speed up; instead, he became hesitant.
The Primordial Hill... that was the homeland he could never return to.
When he was exiled back then, he had already lost his status as a member of the Primordial Hill.
Kuang Chuan still remembered his teacher, God General Meng Chuan, personally snapping that "teacher-student causal line" back then.
The outside world might think he was a great explorer, but only Kuang Chuan himself knew.
He was already an outcast of the Primordial Hill.
Now that he saw someone from the Primordial Hill, what could he do?
He had already joined the Evil God faction; things were long since different!
Zhao Xing observed Kuang Chuan's memory from a first-person perspective and could feel Kuang Chuan's psychological fluctuations.
However, even while thinking this, Kuang Chuan was still unknowingly following the trail of that person.
Soon, Kuang Chuan arrived at the territory of an unfamiliar demigod rock clan.
In the perspective, a high mountain appeared, about 300 million kilometers high.
It was piled up from the remains of countless rock clan earth cores.
Looking closely, it was a pile of triangular bodies, spheres, and rhomboids.
The entire mountain body was connected, and the broken secret patterns still had residual Dao rhyme, echoing with each other, forming a breathing,
glowing rock mountain.
Kuang Chuan looked toward the peak, where there was a dark humanoid shadow.
Its head and torso were human-like, and it had facial features. Unlike the rough surfaces of other rock clansmen, its surface was very smooth and full of power.
At this moment, it was reaching out toward the sky, and countless veins were flowing from all over the starry sky, like curved lines of light, connecting to this mysterious rock clansman.
Beside it were more than thirty demigod rock clansmen, also tending toward human form.
At the foot of the mountain, there were even ten thousand rock clansmen kneeling in worship.
This was a scene Kuang Chuan had never seen before.
"Could it be that the rock clan has given birth to a divine realm?" Kuang Chuan overturned his previous speculation about the 'Primordial Hill Si Nong' in his heart.
He immediately wanted to retreat.
But when he discovered that mysterious rock clan powerhouse, the other party also discovered him.
"Boom~~"
The star land where Kuang Chuan was located suddenly vibrated as a whole and began to close like flower petals.
Kuang Chuan came from the Earthly Advantage faction and was a gifted demigod; he could pierce through a small star land with a single blow.
But Kuang Chuan was surprised to find that he was trapped.
The entire star land turned into mud in an instant, and it emitted seven-colored brilliance.
The mountain that stood up from the ground looked like seven fingers, or flower petals, with the radiance of the sun on them, making Kuang Chuan feel a burning sensation all over.
The extreme land within his body seemed to be compressed as well; this suppressive force made Kuang Chuan understand instantly that he could not beat the other party.
"(Rock Language) Respected rock clan senior, I did not intend to intrude into your territory—" Kuang Chuan's lips vibrated, the frequency of the vibration turning into the communication language of the rock clan.
"Swish~"
That rock clan powerhouse appeared instantly in front of Kuang Chuan.
Seven-colored light flowed on its body, moving across its torso.
When the aura on the head part dissipated, it was surprisingly a young and handsome human face.
Seeing this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but be stunned.
Because he discovered that this face was his own appearance.
He paused the memory scene for a moment and asked Kuang Chuan, who was sitting opposite him: "How many true spirit tribulations had you passed at that time?"
Kuang Chuan replied: "Fifteen times, one less than now."
"You were a 15th-order demigod at the time, and facing my split soul, you actually had no power to fight back?"
"Yes," Kuang Chuan nodded.
Zhao Xing was shocked.
What kind of adventures did the study-abroad clone have in the Black Sky Desolate Domain?
To actually be able to beat a 15th-order Kuang Chuan and suppress him with a flip of a hand?
The level of this adventure was simply stronger than his own in the Fengshan Land.
Zhao Xing replayed the memory scene.
After watching carefully, he seemed to understand a little.
"Seven-colored magic power!"
"That is complete seven-colored magic power!"
Fan Qianrou's Heart-Sealing Method, fusing seven types of magic power into one, is divine power!
His main body had only realized four types of magic power: Green Flower, Red Lotus, Cangming, and Profound Soul.
But the clone had practiced seven types!
Although he didn't know if they had been fused into one, from Kuang Chuan's perspective.
The seven-colored magic power already showed signs of merging.
"And the body of the split soul has changed; the shell of the Primordial Grass Man has been abandoned."
"The current body—"
Zhao Xing looked carefully and found that this body looked so much like the Hou Bian Method he had obtained in the Bai Han Realm back then.
"Could it be the Rock Star Divine Transformation?"
The Heavenly Transformation Divine Needle had three sets of secret methods, each corresponding to a naturally born divine spirit.
One was the "Nine Marshes God," two was the "Rock Star God," and three was the 【Pu Luo God】.
When Zhao Xing was held hostage by Venerable Bamboo Sword back then, the study-abroad clone had not yet entered the Profound Spirit Star Domain, and it was able to sense and communicate with the main body's soul.
In other words, at that time, the split soul also shared the secret method of the Heavenly Transformation Divine Needle.
"Could it be that after my split soul entered the Black Sky Desolate Domain, it discovered that the materials of the Primordial Grass Man were insufficient to maintain its body shape, so it abandoned that shell and occupied the body of a rock lifeform?"
"The rock clan is also a rock lifeform, which is just right for cultivating the Rock Star Divine Transformation. The split soul killed so many rock clansmen, which I'm afraid was also a requirement for cultivation."
Zhao Xing didn't know what the split soul had experienced, but he could roughly infer some things.
The Primordial Grass Man's body did not have the cultivation methods of Heavenly Timing, Earthly Advantage, and Self.
The clone could only bitterly cultivate Fan Qianrou's seven-colored magic power; for example, the Green Flower magic power was a very good driving magic power.
With this speculation, Zhao Xing continued to observe Kuang Chuan's memory from a first-person perspective.
"Human Si Nong?" The study-abroad clone looked down at Kuang Chuan, his eyes full of curiosity. "What you just used seems to be a spell from the Primordial Hill."
Kuang Chuan was also stunned for a moment; he had originally thought this was some powerhouse of the rock clan, but now the other party had a human face and was speaking the language of Grain God Star.
"Yes, I was once a Si Nong of the Primordial Hill. My name is Kuang Chuan."
"Oh? It's you." The study-abroad clone was somewhat surprised. "Kuang Chuan, who discovered the Underworld Ancient Mountain. Haha, so you didn't die."
"Senior knows me?"
"Don't call me senior; I'm not much older than you." The study-abroad clone dissipated the suppression of the seven-colored mountain and became amiable.
In Zhao Xing's impression, the Si Nongs of the Primordial Hill were always very good.
If reputation and favorability were mutual, then Zhao Xing's closeness to the Earthly Advantage faction Si Nongs and the Primordial Hill was higher than to the other two factions.
The study-abroad clone released Kuang Chuan and started chatting with him.
Kuang Chuan didn't say he had been exiled by the Primordial Hill; he followed what the world knew: he was an explorer of the Underworld Ancient Mountain.
Zhao Xing's study-abroad clone was even more enthusiastic, communicating with Kuang Chuan, even inviting him to see his record of slaying rock clansmen, and giving him some rare fruits to replenish himself; it could be said he entertained Kuang Chuan enthusiastically.
Looking at his own signature smile in the memory scene, Zhao Xing's main body couldn't help but complain.
"Starting with a smile, enthusiastic hospitality, followed by sitting and discussing the Dao, showing off classics, crazily brushing favorability, triggering missions—this is so damn classic."
Master Zhao was very familiar with this set of procedures.
He knew at a glance that the study-abroad clone wanted to brush Kuang Chuan's favorability and see if he could trigger any mission plots.
Sure enough, Kuang Chuan in the memory scene was soon shocked by Zhao Xing's "Theory of Dao Manifestation and Universal Change" and "Theory of Annihilating Stars and Six Constants."
"You actually solved the problem of the Overlapping Boundary Mountain?"
"Just luck. The Primordial Hill opened an ancient road in the Si Yue Desolate Domain; I just happened to be there at the right time."
"Annihilating Star Corridor, Six Undetermined Stars, moving the Yin-Yang twin stars in the desolate domain to form a stable environment only costs 85, 00 Five Emperor Coins?"
"The Annihilating Star Corridor is a bit special; it might not be feasible in other desolate domains. For example, the cost in the Black Sky Desolate Domain is very high, but there, it really only costs that much."
"May I ask your name?"
"Zhao Xing, courtesy name Chen'an, cultivating for over ten thousand years."
Kuang Chuan's eyeballs vibrated, and he was speechless.
Cultivating for less than ten thousand years, and he was only at the third realm of origin when he solved the Overlapping Boundary Mountain problem.
Compared to Zhao Xing, it was simply a difference between clouds and mud!
Seeing that the effect was achieved, the study-abroad clone finally revealed his 'true face.'
"I heard you discovered the Underworld Ancient Mountain and believe there was an Underworld Ancient Era before the Primordial Era. Have you already found the Underworld Ancient Mountain?"
"Yes, I have already found the Underworld Ancient Mountain," Kuang Chuan nodded. "But climbing the mountain and digging the veins still needs to be solved. I am currently creating the Underworld Ancient Mountain Classic, but it is not yet perfect."
The study-abroad clone was very happy: "I came to the Black Sky Desolate Domain also wanting to see the style of the Underworld Ancient Mountain. I wonder if I can go and take a look with you?"
Venerable Kuang Chuan hesitated, because he had defected to the Undying Underworld God, who was an Evil God in the era of the Desolate Domain.
It was fine if he fell into darkness himself; for the sake of the Underworld Ancient Mountain Classic, he could endure anything.
But Zhao Xing was different. With such a genius in the Primordial Hill, how could he bear to let Zhao Xing fall into a dangerous situation?
"Si Nong Zhao, it's not that I'm unwilling to invite you, but I have unspeakable difficulties—" Venerable Kuang Chuan looked troubled.
He didn't want Zhao Xing to know that he had become a disciple of an Evil God.
It wasn't fear of death, but rather not wanting to see the look of disappointment in Zhao Xing's eyes.
"I understand," the study-abroad clone nodded. "Si Nong Kuang, you should go ahead."
"I will stay here for a while. If you have time, you can come to me to discuss the Dao at any time. Whatever materials you need, as long as I have them here, you can take them."
Kuang Chuan bowed silently, then turned and left, and the field of vision gradually became dark.
This wisp of memory scene lasted for about five years before it ended.
Gone?
Under Meng Chuan Mountain, in the underground space, Zhao Xing felt somewhat unsatisfied.
Had his split soul ever been to the Underworld Ancient Mountain?
And why did Kuang Chuan say he was sent by his split soul to compete for the Mountain Head?
There were many doubts, but Zhao Xing no longer had any doubts about Kuang Chuan's stance.
There is a very common setting in this world: assuming the free will of a true spirit is violated, then that person will have no further progress,
and it is impossible to have any breakthroughs.
An Evil God would absolutely not invade the true spirit of a Si Nong like Kuang Chuan, who was proficient in both law and reason, for destructive control.
Just as the Boundless True God once said to him, he was not short of slaves; what he lacked were like-minded people.
The Undying Underworld God might not treat Kuang Chuan as a fellow Daoist, but he would definitely regard Kuang Chuan as a capable general and a disciple with potential.
He would not use any soul-enslavement means—this would also be easily discovered by the divine realm powerhouses of the Primordial Hill.
Since Kuang Chuan retained his free will, Zhao Xing did not believe that an Evil God could surpass him in brushing favorability with a Si Nong.
Kuang Chuan's stance did not need to be doubted; he had indeed leaned toward him—or more accurately, toward that study-abroad clone of his.
"The subsequent memory scenes cannot be leaked, right?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Yes," Kuang Chuan nodded. "Although the Undying Underworld God did not enslave my true spirit, he did monitor me to a certain extent."
Zhao Xing nodded, just like how Yun Tiandao was monitored by the Heavenly Lady Thunder Mother.
The memory could not be watched again; if watched, it would be discovered, because the memory scene involved "cultivation memories," containing the imprints of the Dao.
One could treat Kuang Chuan's true spirit as a carrier of cultivation secret methods; assuming others could see the Underworld Ancient Mountain, they could realize the Dao and cultivate.
For the Evil God faction, this was undoubtedly a betrayal.
It couldn't be watched, but could it be spoken of?
Zhao Xing asked: "Did my clone climb the Underworld Ancient Mountain? You can pick what you can say. What you can't say, you don't have to."
Kuang Chuan nodded: "Yes, you climbed the Underworld Ancient Mountain."
"It was only with your help that I was able to perfect the Underworld Ancient Mountain Classic." Kuang Chuan looked at Zhao Xing with admiration: "The Underworld Ancient Knowledge Method, the Underworld Ancient Mountain-Opening Method, and the Profound Yin Earth-Change Method—you participated in the creation of all of them."
"However, I cannot mention your participation at the Dharma assembly; this was what you requested."
Zhao Xing nodded.
No wonder when he was watching Kuang Chuan's Dharma realm demonstration, he was able to directly manifest the Underworld Ancient Mountain Dharma image within his body.
Although he hadn't fused with that split soul yet, there was indeed a connection between him and Kuang Chuan, making it very easy to realize the Dao.
"How did my split soul bypass the monitoring of the Undying Underworld God?" Zhao Xing asked another question.
Kuang Chuan said the Undying Underworld God was not on the mountain, but was guarding outside.
Since he climbed up, he would definitely enter the sight of the Undying Underworld God.
Could it be that his split soul had also defected to the Evil God? And was monitored to a certain extent?
"About four hundred years after I met you, you found a way to bypass the monitoring of the Undying Underworld God," Kuang Chuan pondered. "But you didn't tell me exactly how you did it."
"You only said that there was also a powerful god behind you helping."
"As for who it specifically was, I have no way of knowing."
There's an even higher expert?
To be able to bypass the monitoring of the Undying Underworld God and safely climb the mountain, could it be—
Zhao Xing suddenly thought of someone.
"Could it be Wu Tian?"
Zhao Xing's impression of Wu Tian could be described as very profound.
The panel had been affected twice; once was when Bowei conquered the Starry Sky Historian faction.
From then on, looking at this profession on the panel, it only displayed "Historical Scholar."
The other time was Wu Tian.
Back then, he observed Wu Tian with the panel, but there was nothing.
Not a question mark, but nothing was displayed at all.
Zhao Xing believed that this influence of Wu Tian was even more terrifying.
"Back then, Wu Tian told me he went to the Black Sky Desolate Domain, and after that, there was no news of him."
"If the split soul met Wu Tian in the Black Sky Desolate Domain, it's not impossible—" Zhao Xing thought to himself.
Wu Tian was very mysterious. From Meng Wu's attitude toward Wu Tian when he was learning the Five Fingers Mountain back then, one could see a thing or two.
Now that he was a demigod, Wu Tian still gave him that same feeling.
"In the Bone Divine Realm of the Fengshan Land of Chi Fu, Wu Tian once left behind a wisp of heart fire, which worked together with the Great Emperor's Hunyuan Dao Tower to protect the boundary core of Chi's internal world."
"What is the background of this guy?"
With his current status, he knew seven or eight out of ten of the gods in the Profound Spirit Star Domain, if not all of them.
But Wu Tian was not among them.
Either Wu Tian's realm was too high, and he was a hidden god king of the human race, or he was executing some secret mission.
If he didn't belong to the Profound Spirit Star Domain, then it was even more terrifying.
The arrival of the Master of Cold Food was known, so how could Wu Tian not be known?
"I don't know what Chi's split soul experienced, and whether he was with Wu Tian." Zhao Xing was incomparably curious in his heart.
"The study-abroad clone cultivated seven-colored magic power and the Rock Star Divine Transformation; in a place like the Desolate Domain, there must have been adventures."
If he fused with the split soul, his current combat power would definitely skyrocket.
However, he was destined not to be able to set foot in the Black Sky Desolate Domain now.
There were piles of Evil Gods outside looking for him, and the human higher-ups had specially transferred three great God Generals to protect his path; how could they allow him to go deep into a place like the Black Sky Desolate Domain to court death?
There was no other way; he could only hope the clone would take the initiative to return.
But now Zhao Xing had at least cleared up some doubts.
Kuang Chuan had indeed defected to the Evil God, but at that time he couldn't even be considered a human of the Primordial Hill, nor was it a betrayal of the Primordial Hill.
Later, when he appeared there, Kuang Chuan defected to him again, which meant his stance was cleared. When he returned, the Primordial Hill would naturally welcome him.
As for why the Primordial Hill and Kuang Chuan didn't tell him in advance?
The answer was also very simple: if he could become the Mountain Head, it proved his strength was sufficient and he was qualified to know.
If he couldn't become it, then he wasn't qualified to know.
Kuang Chuan coming to compete with him did indeed stimulate his potential; without him, he might have only created the "Theory of Three-Era Division," and the Ten Directions Mountain Classic really might not have been created in a short time.
"It's really turning the world upside down; the main body might not even be able to beat the clone." Zhao Xing also felt pressure in his heart.
"Kuang Chuan, you haven't completed the mission now. If you return to the Underworld Ancient Mountain, wouldn't you be punished?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Definitely," Kuang Chuan nodded. "But as long as Chi is not enslaved, this price is bearable."
"As for being killed by other Evil Gods—Chi has cultivated the Profound Yin Earth-Change Method, so even if killed, he can be reborn from the Underworld Ancient Mountain."
"Due to the uniqueness of the Underworld Ancient Mountain, wanting to enslave Chi, or wanting to kill Chi completely, is very difficult."
"It seems this was all within the plan." Zhao Xing smiled.
Kuang Chuan and his split soul, or rather Wu Tian, had all considered these consequences.
However, they had considered it, but he didn't know what the situation was with the Boundless True God.
The Boundless True God was a rich god with vision; Zhao Xing really didn't want to cut off this line.
The first ring mission rewarded time origin divine power, which was a great supplement for native species, and he also obtained the young bodies and seedlings of the History Book Worm and the Ten Thousand Era Flower God, and later was given a time grain.
The Boundless True God was a good place to earn gold coins.
Zhao Xing really couldn't bear to part with him.
"Kuang Chuan, do you have any requirements?" Zhao Xing asked. "Chi is now the Mountain Head; if you want anything, you can bring it up."
Kuang Chuan pondered: "Mountain Head, Chi indeed has two requests."
"Chi wants to take a look at the divine artifact Yuanji Mountain."
"In addition, I also want to ask the Mountain Head to help resurrect a few people."
"Back then, Chi was conducting experiments in the underworld of the Black Sky Desolate Domain, which harmed some humans. Although some humans were resurrected, there are still some who are not on the resurrection list."
Kuang Chuan's experiment time point was the eighth era before the Desolate Domain era.
At that time, it was not yet the Desolate Domain era, and the interior of the Reincarnation Temple was still very united; wanting to exercise the right of resurrection was still very difficult.
However, today is not what it used to be; disasters have made the major forging-level forces more united.
The Reincarnation Temple would not hold the right of resurrection so tightly.
In addition, the gold content of Zhao Xing as the Mountain Head was much greater than that of Venerable Wei Zizhan of Meishan at the time.
Zhao Xing going to the Reincarnation Temple as the Mountain Head to ask for an opening, the hope was still very great.
"No problem." Zhao Xing threw the Yuanji Mountain to Kuang Chuan.
"As for the matter of resurrection, this involves resurrection before the Desolate Domain era, which requires opening the space-time barrier. But Chi will try his best to fight for it. You can give the names to Chi first. Before you return to the Black Sky Desolate Domain, whether it succeeds or not, Chi will give you a definite answer."
Didn't the Reincarnation Temple want to release Bowei and let Bowei be his path protector?
It was a good opportunity to use this matter to make some demands. The matter was difficult to handle, but it was not to the point of being absolutely impossible.
The rules were set by the strong. Venerable Kuang Chuan didn't want many quotas; Zhao Xing going to fight for it should be no problem.
"Thank you, Mountain Head." Venerable Kuang Chuan bowed and saluted.
After leaving Kuang Chuan's courtyard, Zhao Xing felt the earth vibrate, and the memory of the conversation with Kuang Chuan quickly faded.
"No God General appeared; the trials Kuang Chuan experienced after returning shouldn't be at the God General level." Zhao Xing had some realization in his heart.
During this special period, space-time turbulence was washing away memories, and Evil Gods were descending one after another. For some missions, even having a God General as a backer was not safe.
The God King, perhaps, was the only one who knew the complete information; God General Meng Chuan and the others might only know part of the information.
"Swish"
Zhao Xing performed an escape technique and returned to Meishan.
The third era of the Desolate Domain, the 108th boundary star year. The chaos caused by the History Book Worm, the Era Worm, the Heavenly Latitude Giant Beast, and the space-time river was still continuing.
The historical memories of eighteen ancient kingdoms all had problems, and a large number of emperors, and even demigods, were secretly casting Cold Food altars,
believing in the Master of Cold Food as the savior god.
The third era of the Desolate Domain, the 115th boundary star year.
Zhao Xing resided in the Primordial Hill and could hear the name of the Master of Cold Food. Some of the disciples of the Primordial Hill were also secretly reading the Dharma and Dao books of the "Evil Gods."
This also included the Dharma theories of the Master of Cold Food and his disciples.
There were even secret organizations like the Cold Food Society, the Underworld God Society, and the Thunder God Society.
The peak masters of the seventy-two peaks and several mountain masters suggested that Zhao Xing kill these disciples or lock them up.
All were rejected by Zhao Xing.
Because his reputation was very high, this situation was not serious, and it hadn't reached the point of killing people to stop the high.
"It is easy to break the thieves in the mountains, but hard to break the thieves in the heart."
"I can order them to be imprisoned, or even kill them, but if the root cause cannot be solved, it will create a situation where 'people dare not speak,
and roads are filled with eyes'."
"What's more, the disciples who can enter the Primordial Hill are geniuses chosen from billions."
"Each peak and each mountain should hold more Dharma assemblies, open Dao fields, and preach more of the classics of the sages of the past to strike at their thoughts and firm their Dao hearts."
"Forgotten or deviated? Dao heart affected? It doesn't matter! We can let the disciples learn it all over again!"
"The deviation of space-time memory will always have a day of repair."
"Remember, killing people is a means only used when there is no other choice."
"We will follow the order of the Mountain Head."
The situation in the Primordial Hill was still considered good. Zhao Xing's Dharma theory was too powerful, the Academy had moved to the Primordial Hill, and the Ten Thousand Dao Tree and the Nine Classics Pavilion were suppressing it, so the faith of the Evil Gods could hardly have much impact on the Primordial Hill.
At most, only some in the Origin Realm and Dao Domain Realm would have problems.
Even these Si Nongs who had problems would have compatibility, meaning their belief in the Evil Gods was far lower than their worship of Zhao Xing.
The third era of the Desolate Domain, the 121st boundary star year.
Feeling that the basic foundation of the Primordial Hill would not have any major problems, Zhao Xing began to prepare for his first trip.
He visited major forces as the Mountain Head of the Primordial Hill.
The first stop was the Primordial Realm of the Red Star Empire.
Because when he was in the Primordial Realm back then, his first preaching teacher was Gu He, and nominally, Wu Du was only the second.
So after Zhao Xing arrived, the first person he visited was Gu He.
The second stop of the itinerary would be the Yan God Star System, asking the Martial God Yan Ao to come out of seclusion to protect his path.
The third stop was to go to the Origin Heavenly Palace to ask Lu Ya to be his path protector; there was also a grand process here.
As for the fourth stop, the Reincarnation Temple, asking Bowei to protect his path, it would not be public.
Two bright and one dark path-protecting God Generals could greatly increase the safety factor.
The first four stops were all planned by the human higher-ups; after that, where Zhao Xing wanted to visit and travel, that was up to Zhao Xing himself.
Zhao Xing's plan was to go to the demon race territory, because he was very familiar with the human territory of the Profound Spirit Star Domain, but he had been to the demon race territory few times.
The third era of the Desolate Domain, the 125th boundary star year, Zhao Xing returned to the Primordial Realm.
On the top leaf surrounded by stars of the Primordial God Tree, the Primordial City stood in the center of the leaf.
After a period of elaborate rituals, Zhao Xing went to the Primordial City alone and came to Gu He's residence.
In the dome of the main hall, endless stars twinkled. Gu He stood in front of a huge floor-to-ceiling window, with his back to Zhao Xing, watching the galaxy.
"Zhao Xing pays respects to Senior Gu."
"No need for formalities." Gu He tilted his head slightly and beckoned to the back, "Come, let me take a look."
"Yes." Zhao Xing came to Gu He's side. From this viewing platform, it seemed he could see the full picture of the entire Profound Spirit Star Domain.

It was brilliant and bright as a whole, but there were gray bands running through it, as if a bright face had a few more scars.
"Zhao Xing, your Hunyuan Boundary has been cultivated to the third layer; this is already the limit of a demigod."
"Taking another step to cultivate to the fourth layer, you will be a Self-Existent God of the Origin," Gu He said softly. "At that time, the internal world will evolve toward the extinction period."
"This kind of change will not only make you stronger, but will also push you onto a path of no return."
"Your internal world will experience divine tribulations one after another; the day you can't hold on, the internal world will lose control and completely go extinct."
Zhao Xing listened quietly. Indeed, becoming a Self-Existent God still required passing divine tribulations.
Only a Tribulation-Free True God did not have this kind of calamity.
"In my opinion, your Earthly Advantage Great Dao is walking more steadily than the Self and Heavenly Timing, and the future path is also longer."
"Do you have any thoughts of giving up becoming a Self-Existent God of the Origin?" Gu He asked. "If you have such thoughts, I can help you."
A black stone appeared in Gu He's palm; it looked like a black hole, and the light dimmed because of it.
"It's called the Boundary-Breaking Divine Stone. As long as you use it, the internal world can be stripped away. Even if it is destroyed, it will not affect your cultivation of other Daos."
Zhao Xing shook his head: "Senior Gu, I have no thoughts of giving up."
Gu He still threw the Boundary-Breaking Divine Stone to Zhao Xing: "Don't rush to reply; keep it. If there is a day you change your mind, you can use it."
"Yes." Zhao Xing respectfully accepted it. Whether he used it or not, who wouldn't want a divine object given for free?
"If you don't intend to give up," Gu He looked at Zhao Xing, "are you interested in cultivating the 'Eternal Boundary'?"
Let him cultivate the Eternal Boundary? Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.
He was not surprised that Gu He was willing to pass him this method of proving the Dao with the world, but rather by Gu He's action itself.
Although Gu He's temperament was still confident and calm, even better than in the past, Zhao Xing always felt that this action contained other meanings.
Assuming the method of proving the Dao with the world, "Eternal Boundary," could be seen as Gu He's child, now there was a faint sense of entrusting an orphan.
Did Gu He have a premonition that something big was going to happen?
