Chapter 526: Boundless True God? True God?

Fu Jin wanted to admit defeat, so he had Shen Wu Yue find Zhao Xing's causal thread to initiate contact.

However, after waiting for a full day, he discovered that Shen Wu Yue could not find Zhao Xing's causal thread at all.

On the other side, Zhao Xing learned of this through Ji Si and couldn't help but laugh.

"Admit defeat?"

"This fellow still wants to save face; he wants to admit defeat but refuses to come and pay a visit in person."

"I've built up such great momentum, yet he won't even show his face. No rush, don't contact him."

"Even if he comes in person, we must leave him hanging for a while."

Having reached this point in the causal war, Zhao Xing could be said to have victory in his grasp. He understood a principle: although the Great Zhou's foundation was weaker than the Carlos family's, he himself had a much higher chance of breaking through to the God Realm than the Carlos family's demigods.

For those in the God Realm, only those at the same level were allies worth caring about.

Whether it was the Carlos Divine Official or his remaining three sons, the hope of becoming gods was slim.

Based on this premise, it was unnecessary to guess who the gods would favor in this war against the Carlos family; they would vote with their feet.

"The assistance we've received this time, both domestically and abroad, far exceeds the forced resistance of the past."

"Ji Si, carefully sense this momentum. Opportunities for causal wars of this scale are rare." Zhao Xing looked at Ji Si.

He had high hopes for Ji Si!

From the very beginning, he had been willing to distribute the majority of the spoils of war to his other allies.

Zhao Xing didn't care about short-term gains; as long as they won, Ji Si could level up—that was the greatest harvest!

If a Fate Master God could stand by his side in the future, it would be worth more than anything else.

Of course, becoming a Fate Master God wasn't that simple. This causal war wouldn't be enough to make Ji Si a god unless it involved the entire Profound Spirit Star Domain and had the participation of those in the God Realm, where Ji Si played a crucial role.

However, letting Ji Si experience such wars in advance was a tremendous benefit.

"Understood." Ji Si nodded. He also understood that he would gain immense improvement from this war.

"However, since the Carlos family wants to admit defeat, it means this war is coming to an end." Zhao Xing pondered. "Draft an optimal exploitation plan and show it to the teachers and the others."

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I have already prepared it." Ji Si immediately took a plan out of his sleeve.

"This time, the Great Zhou has leveraged human, material, and financial resources far beyond its own capacity. You are aiming for the God Realm and cannot be entangled in too much karma."

"Therefore, we should distribute eighty percent of the assets received from the Carlos family to repay these causal favors."

"As for the Great Zhou itself, taking twenty percent of the Carlos family's assets is sufficient, primarily focusing on overseas territories and business shares."

Those who do not plan for the long term cannot plan for the immediate; those who do not plan for the whole cannot plan for a region. Zhao Xing nodded. Ji Si's consideration showed his vision.

Furthermore, it didn't deviate from the original plan: the Great Zhou would establish a new dynasty on the ruins of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom. Spending time taking over the Carlos family's fixed territories within the Empire was less valuable than focusing on business, as the future prospects and potential were far greater than the immediate gains.

"Brother Zhao." At this moment, a flame-like causal avatar emerged from the Hall of Heart and quickly came to Zhao Xing's side.

"Captain, what is it?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Fu Jin has arrived at the Wuye Constellation in the Beihe Star Domain. He brought quite a few boundary ships." Yang Baihe said, "However, he was stopped at the Beihe Pass."

"Stopped?" Zhao Xing was surprised. "Who stopped him?"

As Yang Baihe was reporting, a short causal avatar also emerged. It was Yang Lin, the lord of the Beihe Star Domain.

Beside them, Five Poisons Venerable couldn't help but laugh: "Yang Lin, so it was you, kid, who stopped him."

Beihe Lord Yang Lin immediately bowed respectfully: "Greetings to Five Poisons Venerable, Chen'an Venerable, and Ji Venerable..."

"Alright, Yang Lin, skip the formalities. Tell us the situation."

"It was indeed I who stopped Fu Jin. He is currently waiting at the Beihe Pass."

"Hahaha, you've got guts." Five Poisons Venerable laughed: "You're only a Fourth Tribulation Emperor, yet you dare to stop Fu Jin. Where did you get the courage?"

Yang Lin replied calmly: "That naturally comes from the courage given to me by you, my lords. Although I am inferior to Fu Jin, I cannot tarnish the reputation of you, my lords."

Zhao Xing also smiled. Beating a dog in the water was exactly like this; Yang Lin dared to block a demigod like Fu Jin at the Beihe Star Domain.

In fact, Yang Lin wasn't the first to block Fu Jin. Jing Yan had blocked him once in the Beiye Star Domain. Jing Yan was also only a Fourth Tribulation Emperor, yet he had handled the situation perfectly, so why would Yang Lin be afraid?

"Did you inspect them? He brought so many ships; they can't be warships." Five Poisons Venerable asked.

He didn't believe Fu Jin was stupid enough to use warships after being warned, trying to go down in a blaze of glory.

"They aren't warships. They are all cargo flying ships, filled with valuable goods: World Stones, top-grade Dao weapon materials, Boundary Stones, Five Emperor Coins, and so on." Yang Lin said.

Beihe Pass was a river pass established on the void river between star domains.

At this moment, the Carlos family's large fleet was docked at the Cargo Department, undergoing inspection.

All the members of the Carlos family were dejected, and even when faced with the mockery and harassment of the low-level clerks, they could only pretend not to see.

They were like a defeated nation coming to pay tribute, harassed and questioned at every turn along the way.

This included Fu Jin. Although he was a demigod, when faced with harassment from those weaker than him, he could only endure it.

He had to endure it because he was here to beg for mercy and admit defeat.

"This is too much! These people wouldn't have even been looked at by our Carlos family in the past, yet now they dare to be so arrogant!" Yi Ping walked into the ship hall, his eyes spitting fire. "We've been inspected over a dozen times, and we're still not allowed to pass."

Fu Jin continued to pluck his zither in his seat, his expression calm, though his temperament was somewhat cold.

"Second Brother, how do you still have the heart to play the zither?" Yi Ping sat down gloomily and took a large gulp of wine.

Once upon a time, they, the Carlos family, were the ones outside, and countless enemies and competitors had fallen under their blades and majesty.

Now, it was the other way around; this taste was truly hard to swallow.

"Second Brother, treat this as a process of tempering the heart." Fu Jin said calmly. "If you don't want to face it, you don't have to follow. Since you've come, then endure it."

"I—" Yi Ping opened his mouth but found no words to refute, so he could only mutter to himself: "Tempering the heart by destroying the family... Big Brother really knows how to think of things. So many years of accumulation..."

Fu Jin's party was left hanging at the river pass for a full three months. In those three months, almost the entire Empire and half the star domain had focused their attention here, knowing that the Carlos family had come to beg for mercy.

And after three months, Zhao Xing finally allowed the Carlos family to enter the Beihe Star Domain.

"Chen'an Venerable, we three brothers have come to plead guilty." Fu Jin brought his two brothers into a temporarily constructed hall. The hall was extremely simple, and all three of them had to suppress their holy bodies to become very small to fit inside.

After entering, the three bowed respectfully toward the dais.

"You should plead guilty to the Emperor of the Great Zhou." Ji Si stared coldly at the three.

Above, besides him and Zhao Xing, was Wu Di Ji Che. Originally, the Wu Di didn't want to come, believing that only Zhao Xing and Ji Si were qualified for such a conversation.

However, Zhao Xing and Ji Si had said: "The current Carlos family is like a stray dog; what kind of equality is there to speak of?"

Thus, Wu Di Ji Che sat on the throne, with Zhao Xing and Ji Si standing on his left and right.

Watching the demigods who used to be high and mighty now bowing their heads, Ji Che felt a great deal of emotion, and a sense of immense satisfaction welled up in his heart.

How many years had it been? Only today did he truly feel like an emperor in the universe.

The feeling of walking on thin ice and living in fear had finally become a thing of the past!

The Wu Di was only at the Emperor level and had not yet crossed a single tribulation, which was due to the bottleneck of practicing in a luck-based dynasty.

Bowing to the Wu Di was simply a humiliation, but the three still honestly bowed to the Wu Di once again.

"Speak, how do you intend to plead guilty?" The Wu Di opened his mouth calmly.

"Your Majesty, Emperor of the Great Zhou." Fu Jin explained: "The Carlos family was founded many years ago. My father basically doesn't care about worldly affairs, and my two younger brothers, Bing and Yumu, have always been responsible for managing the wilderness development and overseas territories. My father had made arrangements for us to divide the family early on."

"They kept their actions against the Great Zhou completely hidden from my father and me."

The Wu Di's mouth curled into a trace of disdain.

The classic "it's a family affair when there are benefits, but it's all divided when trouble arises."

"When they launched the commercial attack without authorization, we stopped it as soon as we found out, and my father severely punished them, forbidding them from participating in the operation of any ancient road."

"Now that Bing is dead and Yumu is imprisoned, they have received their due punishment. Of course, this is still due to the Carlos family's lax discipline, and my failure as an elder brother to discipline them. I have come to pay a visit to apologize."

"I hope this gift can obtain the understanding of Chen'an... the Emperor of the Great Zhou."

Afterward, Fu Jin presented a list. The list contained a large number of treasures, and in addition to the treasures brought by the ships of the Carlos family, there were also a large number of land transfer documents.

All of this was nonsense; only the present was real.

"Clang~" A flash of lightning appeared in Ji Che's eyes, and he tore the list to shreds.

"Fu Jin, I have listened to your nonsense for a long time. Only now have you said something useful."

"However, since you are here to apologize, how you apologize is not up to you."

The Wu Di waved his hand, and a new list appeared before Fu Jin.

"Fu Jin, don't say the Great Zhou isn't giving your Carlos family a way out."

"Accept this list of land cessions and reparations, and the war can stop."

"If you don't agree, the Great Zhou will take it ourselves; it will just take a little more time. Do you understand?"

After saying this, the Wu Di stopped looking at the two and flicked his sleeves, turning to leave.

Zhao Xing smiled inwardly. The Wu Di had been suppressed for too long; now that he had a chance to show off, his imperial temperament was truly well-grasped.

But the three Fu Jin brothers were somewhat dumbfounded, because the list the Great Zhou gave them was simply a treaty of national humiliation.

The Great Zhou demanded that the Carlos family contribute all their wealth, leaving less than one-thousandth to maintain the daily operation of their territory. As for the territory, they were allowed to retain only the star systems of their ancestral land, while all other private territories had to be ceded to the Great Zhou. Furthermore, any Carlos family members holding public office in the Empire, except for the three of them and the Carlos Divine Official, had to resign within a very short period.

The key point was that the Great Zhou only gave them two and a half years to do this.

"This, this—" Yi Ping and Yi Le, the two demigods, were trembling with rage, while Fu Jin, even with a firm Dao heart, had an extremely ugly expression.

Such a demand was simply to eat the Carlos family clean, leaving only some dregs to barely survive.

Except for the few of them who were demigods, it could be said that the rest of the Carlos family had no future to speak of.

"Zhao—" Yi Ping and Yi Le wanted to say something, but were stopped by Fu Jin's gaze. Afterward, he said somewhat helplessly:

"Chen'an Venerable, can we retain all the star systems of our ancestral land? This is, after all, the foundation for our clansmen's survival..."

"Fu Jin, I have already given you a glimmer of life." Zhao Xing said coldly. "At least you are still alive, whereas the families you dealt with using the same methods have long since disappeared."

"Take the list and get out."

"Don't even think about playing tricks, or you know the consequences."

After saying this, Zhao Xing and Ji Si returned to the back hall.

The dignified demigods had come without anyone to guide them, and they left without anyone to see them off, leaving behind a pile of treasures loaded on boundary ships, and left in a dejected manner.

The ancestral land of the Carlos family, the Carlos Star System.

The three Fu Jin brothers returned to the hall in their ancestral land.

"Big Brother, do we really accept such an outcome?" Yi Ping looked at the family elites waiting for the negotiation results outside, seemingly seeing pairs of expectant eyes. "Big Brother, do we really have no power to fight back? Father should be able to kill Zhao Xing, right?"

"Yes, Big Brother, Second Brother is right. If we really accept this arrangement, I don't know how many eras it will take for our Carlos family to recover—"

"Shut up!" Fu Jin said coldly: "This is Father's decision!"

"Go honestly and appease the clansmen, go and divide the assets, and then return to the ancestral land to live."

"As long as Father achieves the God Realm, there will be a day for our Carlos family to rise again."

"If not, what's the point of keeping more family assets? It will all be empty in the future!"

Yi Ping and Yi Le stopped talking. After being analyzed by their big brother, they naturally understood the logic, but they just felt aggrieved in their hearts.

"Go." Fu Jin waved his hand. "Arrange everything well. As long as we are still alive, there is a glimmer of life."

"Yes."

In the back hall, Ji Che, Ji Si, and Zhao Xing gathered.

"Big Brother, how was my performance?" Ji Che asked. "Was it okay?"

"Not bad, very majestic." Zhao Xing smiled.

"That's good." The Wu Di nodded proudly, then couldn't help but wave his fist: "Big Brother, it's too satisfying. Those three demigods were scolded by us so obediently that they didn't even dare to raise their heads, hahahaha."

Ji Si watched this scene quietly from the side, feeling deeply moved in his heart: "Only in front of the Grand Minister of Agriculture does the Emperor show his child-like side, very relaxed; usually, he is stern and silent."

"It's not just because the Emperor spent his childhood with the Grand Minister of Agriculture, but also because the Grand Minister of Agriculture has always brought a sense of security all these years."

"Ji Si." Zhao Xing's voice brought Ji Si back to his senses. "You still need to keep a close eye on things. The Carlos family still has the power to fight; we've squeezed them too hard, so we must prevent them from going all out."

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, rest assured." Ji Si nodded. "Fu Jin has admitted defeat, and I have won this causal war. The Fate Masters on the other side are powerless to resist; the Carlos family has no secrets from me, and every move they make will be known to me."

"They won't even dare to play tricks like transferring assets."

"In my observations of the future, the Carlos family finally honestly accepted this arrangement of fate."

"Including that Carlos Divine Official, he didn't make any moves."

"Oh? Ji Si, you can already see such high-level futures?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but be curious.

Fu Jin of the Carlos family was a Thirteenth Tribulation demigod, and his father was even stronger, at least at the Fifteenth Tribulation.

Logically speaking, Ji Si shouldn't be able to see the future of the Carlos Divine Official, yet now Ji Si said this. Had he leveled up?

Zhao Xing looked at the top of Ji Si's head and found that Ji Si's panel data was rippling like flowing water, refreshing itself.

Ji Si was now a Thirteenth-Order Fate Venerable! A Twelfth-Order Historian!

"Yes." Ji Si smiled. "Grand Minister of Agriculture, I have improved quite a bit, and with the cooperation of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, karma below the God Realm is basically invisible to me."

The Carlos family's admission of defeat attracted the attention of countless major forces.

"They surrendered. The causal war is over. The Carlos family actually had a day like this."

"Demigod families are, after all, not gods."

"The winner takes all. The wealth that the Carlos family had accumulated and plundered for many years has now been eaten up by a stronger family."

"Hmph, Grand Minister Zhao is still soft-hearted. If I had this ability? I would have cut the weeds and dug up the roots of the Carlos family."

"The Carlos Divine Official followed the Great Emperor, after all. It's not that easy to kill them."

"A super family of the Red Star Empire, just like that? A few decades ago, we looked at them as gods, and our Rams family took pride in being annexed by them, and the whole country celebrated. But now, they have been annexed by something called the Great Zhou."

Little Prince Ram watched the news on the star mirror, feeling as if he had been electrocuted, shocked beyond measure.

If this had happened after they joined the Carlos family, they would have been treated as spoils of war and eaten clean.

Like their small, weak forces outside the wilderness, they would absolutely have been reduced to slaves.

Fortunately, Zhao Xing had killed all of this before they were annexed.

"The universe is truly cruel..." Little Prince Ram had originally had innocent and beautiful yearnings for the Empire, for the Profound Spirit Star Domain, and for the universe. But now, he had none of these thoughts left.

"Only the strong can lead their own race to survive in the universe; relying on others is never as good as becoming strong oneself."

Little Prince Ram recalled the scene where the boundary ships of the two Carlos demigods were torn apart, and also remembered that demonic figure, a strong desire arising in his heart.

"I want to become strong, I want to become as strong as that Venerable Zhao!"

Beihe Star Domain, Great Zhou.

At this moment, the entire Fengdu Boundary Star of the Great Zhou was holding banquets, the reason being that the wealth plundered from the Carlos family was too astonishing, and there were too many resources.

The great Grand Minister of Agriculture and the Emperor had given the citizens of the Great Zhou generous benefits.

To celebrate the Grand Minister of Agriculture entering the demigod realm, the Great Zhou would hold a "Demigod Banquet" lasting fifty years.

As long as they were residents of the Great Zhou, they could enjoy incomparably rich cultivation resources every day for these fifty years.

The Dao academies, schools, and study palaces of the Great Zhou were all free, and they would eat ingredients of the Origin level every day.

A large number of cultivation methods would be opened for free, and the supernatural powers and great supernatural powers that required high prices to purchase copyrights in the universe would also be free, as long as you could learn them! There was no need to spend money at all. "The Golden Age of the Great Zhou." Yang Baihe's main body avatar carried a history book, traveling everywhere, constantly recording the scenes of celebration.

He had only walked through a few counties and had already discovered many children with outstanding talent.

And in those county towns, there were even branch deans at the Reincarnation Realm.

"With such vigorous cultivation, the people born in this generation will be the Golden Generation of the Great Zhou. I wonder how many brilliant talents will emerge."

Yang Baihe flew over the Luo River and quietly came to the Shangluo Study Palace.

He intended to take the opportunity to see his son.

In the past, although he had many sons, they didn't belong to him; they were all from those noble ladies.

Later, he married a Dao companion who was an Emperor, and he himself gave birth to several descendants for the Great Zhou.

Among them, there were a few whose aptitude he thought was good, so he sent them to the Shangluo Study Palace to study.

Yang Baihe also hid the fact that his family was very wealthy, after all, these children were to become Ministers of Agriculture.

If the family was too rich, how could they endure the hardship of working in the fields?

Swish~

Yang Baihe entered the Shangluo Study Palace. At this moment, a straw man in the study palace woke up; it was Liu Liu Tianning.

Yang Baihe bowed lightly to Liu Liu Tianning and pointed to one of his children. Liu Liu Tianning smiled, then closed his eyes to cultivate again.

Yang Baihe quietly came behind a teenager who was eight parts similar to him. At this moment, the teenager was lying under a tree taking a nap.

Seeing him being so lazy, Yang Baihe was furious.

He immediately cast a spell, letting the branches twitch with the wind, and whipped them fiercely on his fourth son.

"Ah~"

The teenager was whipped awake and jumped up.

There was no one around. Yang Silang looked at the big tree, his eyes suspicious: "Senior Qianhuan, was it you who hit me?"

The true spirit inside the tree looked at Yang Baihe and remained silent.

It was your old man who hit you, don't blame me. "Senior, forgive me. I drank too much at the Cuixiang Tower yesterday and couldn't find the way back to the dormitory, so I slept on you. Excuse me, excuse me." Yang Silang bowed to the Qianhuan Tree.

Yang Baihe was even angrier after hearing this. I spent so much money to send you in, and you actually went to drink flower wine?

Good!

Yang Baihe immediately used the books in Yang Silang's bamboo box as a foundation and cast a spell to create a book puppet.

The book puppet pounced over without a word.

"Damn, what the hell—"

Yang Silang was stunned. He watched as his book turned into a muscular man and rode on top of him, and his drunkenness vanished instantly.

He opened the Pure Origin Soil and cast a spell to resist, but he couldn't stop it. He was ridden on the ground by the book puppet and beaten up.

"Dean Liu, Dean Liu, help!" Yang Silang struggled on the ground, dust flying everywhere.

"Speak, will you drink flower wine again in the future?!" After beating him up, the book puppet stared fiercely at the bruised and swollen Yang Silang on the ground.

"Who, who the hell are you? Sneaky and bullying, what kind of skill is that? If you have the ability, show yourself!" Yang Silang was very unconvinced.

"You are ignorant and incompetent, but your mouth is quite tough!"

"Who said I'm ignorant and incompetent? I won first place in the Shangshe competition of the study palace the day before yesterday. How did I become ignorant and incompetent in your mouth? If I hadn't been drunk, you might not have been able to beat me. Let me up!"

Yang Baihe stopped his hand.

First place in Shangshe?

It seemed he had misunderstood this kid. But he obviously refused to admit it.

"Kid, so what if you're first? When Zhao Xing was your age, he was already the dean of the study palace and had already become the Junior Minister of Agriculture of the Great Zhou."

"You're just first in Shangshe, what's there to be proud of?"

"In a few more years, Zhao Xing will be the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and he has already created various legal theories and mastered the three schools. What do you have to be proud of?"

Yang Silang suddenly stopped struggling and looked back suspiciously: "The tone you use to speak is just like my dad's. Can I compare myself to the Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

"Then why don't you compare yourself to the Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

Yang Baihe was speechless and had to continue the beating: "Let you talk back, let you not learn well—"

The Qianhuan Tree shook, distorting the space there, leaving room for this pair of father and son to communicate intimately.

As the leaves shook, the true spirit of the Qianhuan Tree looked up at the starry sky.

"I never thought the master would become a Venerable, and even I would be blessed by misfortune and cross several tribulations. Fate is truly unpredictable." The Qianhuan Tree shed a leaf and flew quietly toward the capital of the Great Zhou.

He wanted to see if Zhao Xing was still at the banquet.

However, just as he flew to the border of the imperial capital, he was hit by a sword light and shattered.

"?"

The sword light turned into the figure of Long Xiao, who paused slightly and looked at the shattered leaf: "Where did this Qianhuan Tree leaf come from? It's quite hard."

"Why do you care so much?" A lazy voice came from beside him, stepping on a flying dragon; it was Xia Jing. "Hurry up, Brother Zhao is very busy right now. Maybe he'll have to leave before this demigod banquet is even over."

"What's the rush? Old Chen hasn't even come yet. It'll take a while for him to come back from the Primordial Hill."

Zhao Xing's demigod banquet was mainly for outsiders in the first half, such as Du Yun, Tuo Sen, Xu Youling, and other partners. It was also to divide up the piece of fat that was the Carlos family.

As for Five Poisons, Hong Shan, and the others, they had already received their benefits before the banquet started, so they hadn't been separated from the beginning.

The second half was mainly for the relatives and friends of the Great Zhou.

One was that he hadn't returned to the Great Zhou for a long time to gather, and the other was to send out the Great Zhou's team to take over part of the Carlos family's territory. "Now even Long Xiao, Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, Ye Ye Yukong, and Luo are all at the Emperor level."

"Teacher, when is your next tribulation?" Zhao Xing looked at Liu Liu Tianning beside him.

Nowadays, Liu Liu Tianning was also a man who could enter the Primordial World. Zhao Xing also knew that Old Liu could even play with Zuo Zuo Qiyu.

"The eighth tribulation is still a long way off." Liu Liu Tianning said.

"Then what have you been busy with lately?" Zhao Xing smiled. "You can't really be focusing on teaching at the Shangluo Study Palace."

"I'm busy mainly because I want to create a straw man method that surpasses those of the predecessors." Liu Liu Tianning said.

"Oh?" Zhao Xing became interested: "Does the teacher have any clues?"

"Just a foundation." Liu Liu Tianning said: "With your support for the Great Zhou these past few thousand years, I don't have to be so busy."

"My three hundred million plus avatars have been traveling everywhere, and a third of them, the Ten Thousand Laws avatars, went to the Tianze Star Domain."

Three hundred million plus? Zhao Xing couldn't help but gasp.

Old Liu had too many avatars. For avatars to adventure alone in the universe, they needed at least the strength of the Dao Domain Realm to be safe enough. And in some places, like the Tianze Star Domain, even the Dao Domain Realm wasn't enough, because there was a war going on there.

Controlling so many avatars, yet Liu Liu Tianning's main body looked perfectly normal, and even during tribulations, his avatars remained active without any influence.

Liu said: "You taught me the Giant Yang Straw Man, and you also showed me the Dao diagrams of the Grand Void Straw Man and the Primordial Straw Man. I myself have collected all the known straw man methods."

"I intend to continue learning, to first understand all the straw man methods in this world before talking about creation."

Zhao Xing glanced at Old Liu and found that he really wasn't bragging; in the skill column, Liu Liu Tianning's straw man methods occupied ninety percent of the pages.

And his own Primordial Straw Man method, if it weren't for Liu Liu Tianning not wanting to affect him, he would definitely have the ability to learn it.

Back when he broke Zuo Zuo Qiyu's pass, it was Old Liu who helped!

Zhao Xing's heart moved, and he sensed Liu Liu Tianning's straw man avatars: "Teacher, you are too hardworking. At a time like this banquet, there are still 351,241 avatars in the Great Zhou territory studying and learning."

"I like it, so how can it be called hardworking?" Liu Liu Tianning smiled: "If you don't like it but still do it, that's called hardworking. If you like it and do it, that's called enjoyment."

"Besides, I'm not 351,241; it should be 351,245 avatars in the territory."

Zhao Xing was stunned: "How is that possible? Are there straw men that I can't sense?"

Liu Liu Tianning: "Sense in the direction of the Shangluo Study Palace. Yes, that's the area where Yang Baihe is beating his son."

Zhao Xing sensed carefully and found that underground in that area, there were four straw man avatars, looking exactly like Liu Liu Tianning, sitting cross-legged and cultivating, deducing something.

Yet these four were ignored by him!

You must know that the Primordial Straw Man method could sense all straw men and rule all straw men. How could Liu Liu Tianning make him ignore them?

"Don't be so surprised." Liu Liu Tianning smiled slightly: "When Gu Fu Tianyang created the Void Ancestor avatar series of straw man methods, he was only at the Emperor level."

"The spell system is constantly developing, and I have studied these straw man methods deeply, so it's normal to have some small achievements."

Zhao Xing nodded. That's right, today's Liu Liu Tianning might not be weaker than the Gu Fu Tianyang of the past. Otherwise, how could he play with Zuo Zuo Qiyu?

"Teacher, do you have a concept for creating the method?" Zhao Xing was very curious.

"Let's not talk about it yet; wait until it's done." Liu Liu Tianning smiled. "There's no such thing as bringing out a semi-finished product."

"Zuo Zuo Qiyu is looking for me to spar, so I have to concentrate."

"Alright."

After saying this, Liu Liu Tianning closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he had fallen asleep.

Zhao Xing glanced at the guests who were constantly coming and going. The banquet was a flowing feast, and people were constantly entering and leaving.

Soon, Zhao Xing locked onto another acquaintance.

Swish~

Zhao Xing held a jar of wine and came to Yun Tiandao's side, accompanied by a beautiful woman.

"Brother Yun, why are you sitting in the corner? You didn't even say anything when you arrived."

The Great Zhou was soaring, but Yun Tiandao hadn't gained any benefits.

Yun Tiandao stubbornly believed that he was an official of the Xia Dynasty, not the Great Zhou, so whether it was the Wu Di's Luck Golden Pill or other resources, Yun Tiandao had always refused them.

However, the current Yun Tiandao was also at the Venerable level. Although his strength was lagging behind among his old friends, he was highly respected by Zhao Xing.

"I didn't intend to come, but I am about to go on a long journey and don't know if I can come again, so I came to bid you farewell." Yun Tiandao raised his glass and clinked it with Zhao Xing's.

"A long journey? Where are you going?" Zhao Xing was curious.

Yun Tiandao remained silent, obviously unwilling to tell Zhao Xing.

"Is there anything I can help you with?" Zhao Xing asked.

"No need, I can do it myself."

Zhao Xing nodded and stopped asking, just chatting with Yun Tiandao about some past events.

Yun Tiandao hadn't been active on the Annihilation Star Ancient Road for the past few thousand years, but had been adventuring on another ancient road.

Zhao Xing was very curious about Yun Tiandao's breakthrough. The Heavenly Time School didn't have top-tier cultivation methods in this era, but Zhao Xing had never heard of Yun Tiandao's cultivation method.

"Brother Yun, is this 'Cloud Realm' of yours a self-created Heavenly Time cultivation method?"

"Yes." Yun Tiandao nodded. "I have read many cultivation methods of the Heavenly Time School, including those of the Four Seasons Palace and the Ziwei Heavenly Time Hall, but I feel they don't suit me."

Could it be that Old Yun's long journey was also to pursue the Heavenly Time Great Dao?

At the time of parting, Zhao Xing always felt that there was a faint sorrow on Yun Tiandao's Dao companion, which was a feeling of temperament.

He didn't know if some conflicts had occurred because of this.

After Yun Tiandao left, Zhao Xing called Ji Si to divine Yun Tiandao's fate.

Ji Si held the Eight Directions Divine Mirror and cast a spell, soon obtaining some of Yun Tiandao's past and future.

"Two thousand five hundred years ago, about the time we started building the Annihilation Star Ancient Road, Yun Tiandao cured his Dao companion, but the Xia Emperor did not, and unfortunately passed away."

Ji Si pointed at the mirror. "Later, Yun Tiandao went to the Reincarnation Divine Hall, seemingly to seek the resurrection of the Xia Emperor, but the result was obviously unsuccessful."

"He wants to resurrect the Xia Emperor?" Zhao Xing frowned. Unless there was a racial war, such as a war between humans and demons, the Reincarnation Divine Hall basically wouldn't unfreeze the resurrection rights.

Because this involved the issue of guarding the space-time channel, how could they open a back door for an individual?

According to the timeline, for the Xia Emperor to be resurrected and remain in a clear state, he would have to be traced back to before the Wilderness Era.

Before and after the Wilderness Era was a critical space-time barrier. If the Xia Emperor were resurrected, he would still be insane.

"What is his future?"

"Hmm?" Ji Si suddenly let out a sound of doubt.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xing also looked over.

Only to see that the mirror was pitch black, with nothing at all.

"What's going on?"

Ji Si frowned and pondered: "Logically speaking, calculating Yun Tiandao's fate shouldn't be difficult in my eyes."

"I set the time point to the first solar year of the Third Wilderness Era, but it presented as pitch black."

"In such a situation, either Yun Tiandao is dead, or he is protected by a God Realm artifact, making it impossible to investigate."

"There is also a possibility that although he is not dead, he is in some unique place, such as the Black Sky Wilderness."

"In such a forbidden zone, the power of a Fate Master cannot penetrate deep."

"Or perhaps the Third Wilderness Era has a great disaster that affects the Great Dao of Karma."

"I predict that you, Grand Minister of Agriculture, are the same, in a state of chaos. However, you have one more situation than Yun Tiandao."

"What situation?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Becoming a god." Ji Si said in a low voice: "Those in the God Realm can suppress their karma to the lowest level, like noise in the universe, making it impossible to grasp. Some powerful gods even jump completely out of karma."

Zhao Xing wasn't surprised that Ji Si said this. Powerful gods could trace the river of time; having the ability to jump out of the Great Dao of Karma wasn't rare.

"Judging from Yun Tiandao's situation, I don't see the possibility of him becoming a god." Ji Si said. "So something must have happened to him, but he is unwilling to tell us."

"Yun Tiandao has always been like this." Ji Si sighed. "He treats us as fellow countrymen, but not as colleagues or friends. Perhaps you, Grand Minister of Agriculture, count as a friend. But I don't know much about him."

Zhao Xing also felt deeply moved. That's right, Yun Tiandao had no sense of belonging to the Great Zhou. He was a remnant of the Xia Dynasty. Even after coming to the universe version, Yun Tiandao was mostly adventuring on his own.

Come to think of it, he hadn't given Yun Tiandao much help, but Yun Tiandao had extended a helping hand to the Great Zhou many times after the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and coming to the Empire.

"Even if Yun Tiandao doesn't want it, I should do something for him."

Zhao Xing looked at the pitch-black mirror surface and pondered slightly, then split off a Primordial avatar, quietly sneaking out from underground to follow behind Yun Tiandao.

Time passed, and soon fifty years had passed, with only the last ten years left before the Third Wilderness Era.

After the demigod banquet ended, Zhao Xing began to work on five things.

Three of them were private matters, and two were public matters.

The first private matter: opening the cultivation of the method of proving the Dao to become a god, including studying the medical Dao of Wei Ling Tianchen, among which the "Mending Heaven Method" and the refining of the Five Great Divine Medicines series were his key points of comprehension.

The Mending Heaven Method was the core spell for Wei Ling Tianchen's proving of the Dao to become a god.

His philosophy was to eradicate the parasites (the strong) between heaven and earth and return the Dao to heaven.

This sounded simple, but it was very difficult to do.

Because not just anyone could get feedback from the universe's origin.

First was the weight: if one wasn't at the demigod level, one couldn't get feedback at all.

Second was the method: Zhao Xing hadn't practiced the "Mending Heaven Method" before. Theoretically speaking, after killing the Ice Venerable, his origin returned to the universe because of Zhao Xing, but he didn't get feedback to become stronger.

Ultimately, it was because Zhao Xing hadn't practiced the "Mending Heaven Method." According to Wei, practicing the Mending Heaven Method was to establish a connection with the universe's origin. Only then would killing a "parasite" result in feedback.

Practicing the medical Dao could also allow Zhao Xing to better understand the "Heaven-Changing Divine Needle." After all, this set of Heaven-Changing artifacts was itself a divine artifact that combined the physician and the agriculturalist paths.

At the same time, Zhao Xing would also begin to study "Eternal Realm" and "Earth Refining Method," using them to verify the "Earth Record Earth-Changing Theory: Stacked Boundary Mountain" and "Annihilation Star Six Natural Theory" that he had created.

The second private matter was to track Yun Tiandao and find his own traveling avatar.

Because he discovered that the place Yun Tiandao went to was in the direction of the Black Sky Wilderness.

Based on the rumor that the Black Sky Wilderness was formed after the pole star was blocked, Yun Tiandao's idea of going to the Black Sky Wilderness to pursue the Heavenly Time Great Dao coincided with his own traveling avatar.

In addition, Zhao Xing remembered that Wu Tian, who had taught him the Great Five-Finger Mountain and whose origin was very mysterious, had also gone to the Black Sky Wilderness.

The third private matter was to let Ji Si continue to refine the Eight Directions Divine Mirror. After the God Realm spirit fell into Ji Si's hands, it actually opened up a heritage function that had never existed before, occasionally sucking Ji Si in.

And every time Ji Si came out, his skill level would skyrocket. During the fifty years of the demigod banquet, although Ji Si hadn't crossed another true spirit tribulation, all kinds of spells had risen very quickly.

Zhao Xing even suspected that this mirror was related to the legendary Fate Master's strange land, the Ten Directions Mountain. "It's a pity that Bamboo Sword Venerable didn't get on the car. I don't know how he got out, or if he got out at all."

Zhao Xing had promised Bamboo Sword Venerable to take him up the mountain, but the Yin-Yang Boundary Ship had arrived too suddenly, and he hadn't had time to call Bamboo Sword.

Now 【Land of Sealing Zen】 was still gray, and Zhao Xing didn't know how to enter it again, so he had to give up.

He carefully sensed Bamboo Sword's causal thread, but there was no clear direction, and he didn't know how Bamboo Sword Venerable was doing.

The fourth matter was a public matter.

This was a task given to Zhao Xing by the Red Star Empire, passed down by Gu Luohe:

"Zhao Xing, you are now a demigod with impressive combat power. You are already a powerhouse of the human side in the Wilderness Era. You must also shoulder some responsibilities."

Zhao Xing had expected this long ago. The God Realm wouldn't stand on his side for no reason.

The reason they sat by and watched him dismantle the Carlos family was ultimately because they valued his potential; if he became a god in the future, he would be the main force against the evil god camp.

"Evil god altars have appeared in all major wilderness areas. The largest location is in the Black Sky Wilderness, where a Black Abyss has formed. It hasn't been thoroughly explored yet. You have many avatars, making you a suitable candidate for exploration."

"The human high-level will give corresponding contribution points based on your exploration results. These are the opportunities for you to become a Free God." Gu Luohe said. "The more you contribute, the more priority will be given to you for the limited resources to become a Free God."

The path of proving the Dao in heaven and earth almost couldn't be helped, and there was no such thing as giving resources. For this space-time, the resources to become a god all referred to cultivating the origin to become a Free God.

Zhao Xing understood how precious these resources were to become a god after learning about the origin of the Wilderness Era.

First, the resources themselves were scarce, and second, one needed the recognition of the human high-level.

Qing Qing Yu Zi borrowed the Dao to become a god, which certainly gained resources, but his sneaky method wasn't recognized, so he was punished to go to the ancient times to pay off his debts.

In other words, ordinary people didn't have the qualifications to accept tasks to earn contribution points from the human high-level; such opportunities were only left for those heaven-defying talents.

"These tasks are all quite special. Every time you come back, you must go to the Heart God Palace first." Gu Luohe warned. "If you notice any abnormalities yourself, such as qi deviation, you can also go to the Heart God Palace and request the Heart God General to check."

"Senior Gu, I understand." Zhao Xing nodded. He took a token, which was a Primordial Token.

This meant that from now on, Zhao Xing had become a 【Primordial Envoy】. Similarly, possessing this token also meant being selected by the human high-level, having the hope of becoming a god.

Possessing equal status were the Moon God Token of the Origin Palace, the Reincarnation Token of the Reincarnation Divine Hall, and the Profound Spirit Token of the Ancient Kingdom Alliance.

"Primordial Envoys have the hope of becoming gods. Does this mean Senior Zuo Zuo Qiyu also has this qualification?" Zhao Xing asked this question.

"He once had." Gu Luohe said: "But the appearance of Jin Yan and you has made this hope increasingly slim. Zuo Zuo Qiyu has been stuck at the Ninth True Spirit Tribulation and has been unable to break through. However, the number of his split souls has been increasing."

True spirit cannot be upgraded, but split souls keep increasing? Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled, but Gu Luohe indicated he didn't know why this was the case, so he had to let it go.

"Senior Gu, where is Jin Yan hiding? Is there a chance to kill him?" Zhao Xing asked. He could vaguely sense Jin Yan's position, while Zuo Zuo Qiyu's position was very clear, which was due to the distance.

"Jin Yan is hiding in the demon territory." Gu Luohe shook his head. "It's hard to have a chance."

"The demons also contribute to the fight against evil gods, but their philosophy is slightly different from ours, and they are not under each other's jurisdiction. Currently, there is no good way."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing suddenly remembered: "Senior Gu, what is the background of the Shadow Holy Hall?"

This organization, the Shadow Holy Hall, was also very mysterious. From the beginning when the Dongyan Ancient Clan sacrificed, someone bought a killer to kill him through it, to later when Wei Ling Tianchen offered a reward in the Shadow Holy Hall, it seemed to be everywhere.

"Only that the Shadow Holy Hall has existed since the Five Emperors Era." Gu Luohe shook his head. "They exist in any space-time, but no one knows their origin or background."

"They are purer than the Reincarnation Divine Hall; they accept anything as long as the price is high enough, and they don't belong to any side."

"Because the Shadow Holy Hall cannot be tracked, and it will give some face to super forces and abide by certain rules, not issuing excessive tasks, so whether in the past or present, its existence has been tacitly approved, and sometimes they even borrow their power to do things."

A force established by some idle god king? Zhao Xing speculated.

If it was established by a god king, then as long as that god king couldn't be killed, the Shadow Holy Hall couldn't be thoroughly eradicated.

In this way, could the Shadow Holy Hall be considered a neutral tool?

Zhao Xing remembered the description of the Shadow Holy Hall in Wei Ling Tianchen's legacy, and he even had Wei Ling Tianchen's identity token for the Shadow Holy Hall. The level wasn't low, and he didn't know if he could inherit it.

The fifth public matter came from the Primordial Hill.

Because Hong Shan Venerable had received Zhao Xing during the Emperor period and had also taught Zhao Xing spells, Zhao Xing could be considered a member of the Primordial Hill.

The Empire and the Primordial Hill had always been close allies, and Zhao Xing could be said to be doing well on both sides.

Before giving face to the Primordial World, and because Zhao Xing himself was a Tongming Envoy on the ancient road, the Primordial Hill hadn't asked Zhao Xing to do any official business other than helping Zhao Xing hold a Dharma assembly and promoting the Stacked Boundary Mountain theory.

But now Zhao Xing had also received a Dao Order from the Primordial Hill, which was to prepare for the Mountain Head Dharma Assembly of the Third Wilderness Era.

"The Mountain Head Dispute was originally only intended for you to go and see." Emperor Lushan Venerable said, "However, since you made the two demigods of the Carlos family one dead and one heavily injured, it is believed that you have the strength to compete for the Mountain Head, so you have been listed as one of the candidates."

"Must go?"

"Must."

Zhao Xing's reputation was too high; he couldn't not participate.

After all, Zhao Xing's two major famous legal theories, the Stacked Boundary Mountain theory, had too great an influence on the Primordial Hill.

If Zhao Xing wasn't a demigod, that would be one thing, but he had this strength. If he wasn't allowed to go, many people would criticize it.

Even the winner would probably feel that the name didn't match the reality—Zhao Xing didn't even participate, the gold content of this Mountain Head Dharma Assembly is too low!

Hong Shan Venerable said: "After you go, you definitely cannot use the Heaven-Changing Method to compete, otherwise the face of my Primordial Hill will have nowhere to go, so your Heaven-Changing Method will definitely be banned. The Heavenly Time Method and the Benwo Method also cannot be used."

Zhao Xing was somewhat troubled: "Going is no problem, but I don't know if the time will conflict. How long until it starts?"

Hong Shan Venerable said: "The time for the Dharma assembly hasn't been set yet. It's not urgent; you can also go late."

Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked: "It can still be late? Surely this kind of Dharma assembly wouldn't be postponed because of me personally?"

Hong Shan Venerable smiled: "You think too much, but it is true that this time point is relatively flexible. It will be held either in the third solar year or the fourth solar year, and at the latest, it will not exceed the fifth solar year."

1 solar year equals 1000 boundary star years. Zhao Xing calculated that he still had at most five thousand years to prepare, which was fine.

"Why, do you still have a very long task?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing didn't hide it. "I have a task to investigate the evil god altars in the wilderness."

Leaving the White Bone Divine Domain, he wouldn't have such an easy time crossing tribulations. Not to mention that so many split souls were growing together, and there were too few resources.

Demigod-level resources were also very precious to Zhao Xing. He had to take this contribution point task seriously, do more of them, and do them well.

"Then you can handle it yourself. Anyway, as long as you participate, it's fine. No one said you must become the Mountain Head." Hong Shan Venerable and Emperor Lushan Venerable only hoped that Zhao Xing could perform well in this Mountain Head Dharma Assembly, but they didn't think Zhao Xing could defeat the many competitors and become the head of the Twelve Mountains.

You must know that his competitors included not only new demigods like Hong Shan Venerable and Emperor Lushan Venerable, but also some veteran demigods.

Among them were many powerhouses above the Fourteenth Order.

Competing only with the Earthly Benefit Method, the difficulty for Zhao Xing to catch up in three or four thousand years was too great.

"I will do my best." Zhao Xing nodded. He thought that Hong Shan Venerable and Emperor Lushan Venerable had seen his talent and had high hopes for him, so he promised seriously.

Just as Zhao Xing was discussing official business with Hong Shan Venerable, Gu Luohe, and the others.

In the western border of the Profound Spirit Star Domain, in the Black Sky Wilderness, which bordered the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, the Ten Thousand Demon Kingdom, the Azure Thunder Ancient Kingdom, the Holy Wing Ancient Kingdom, and the Purple Profound Ancient Kingdom.

"Yu~"

Yun Tiandao crossed a pitch-black river and had already arrived at a dilapidated ancient ship in the dark starry sky.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's avatar, which had been following behind, also discovered Yun Tiandao's location, which had already reached an unknown area of the Black Sky Wilderness.

"This is no longer the outer area, and it's not shown on the map."

"What is Old Yun doing here? An ancient ship?"

Zhao Xing looked carefully, but only saw a part of the ancient ship, which seemed to be hidden in a black mist, revealing only the tip of the iceberg.

The black of the Black Sky Wilderness was black in the sense of origin, because it was filled with dark origin, and ordinary light, such as sun star lamps, even top-grade reincarnation Dao weapons, couldn't shine far here.

Zhao Xing couldn't see the full picture of the ancient ship, and there were no words or patterns on it, only some lines and bars that seemed to have been disordered.

"Clack clack clack~"

A bright light suddenly emitted from Yun Tiandao's hand, and then on the hull of the ancient ship, a circular magic array seemed to split open, with multi-layered space secret patterns appearing, swallowing Yun Tiandao inside.

"Whoosh~"

When Yun Tiandao entered, Zhao Xing's avatar appeared at his original position.

However, no matter how Zhao Xing looked, he couldn't see any entrance here. The entrance to the ancient ship wasn't mechanical, but a space magic array, meaning that without the method and the token, one couldn't enter at all.

"Old Yun traveled hundreds of millions of miles to come to the Black Sky Wilderness. His direction was so clear, and he hid it from everyone. Could it be that he was bewitched by an evil god?"

Zhao Xing wouldn't have associated it with this until he accepted the contribution point task, but now, he immediately thought of this point.

"Damn evil god, actually bewitched Old Yun? He wouldn't be trying to resurrect the Xia Emperor by sacrificing to an evil god, would he?"

Zhao Xing's heart felt heavy. After thinking of this possibility, he immediately went to find Yun Tiandao's Dao companion.

Yun Tiandao hadn't brought his wife to the Black Sky Wilderness, but had arranged for her to stay in the territory of a boundary star-level force adjacent to the wilderness outside.

"Whoosh~" Another of Zhao Xing's Primordial avatars descended onto this star land called "Chaofeng Continent."

Among countless cities, he locked onto the location of Neon Wind Fairy.

"Swish~"

The magic array protection of a boundary star-level force was nothing in Zhao Xing's eyes, and he descended directly outside Neon Wind Fairy's courtyard.

"Sister-in-law, I am Zhao Xing, please come out for a meeting."

Inside the courtyard, a middle-aged woman opened the gate, looking at Zhao Xing with surprise: "Brother Zhao, why are you here?"

"Sister-in-law, please allow me to explain later. Just tell me, is Brother Yun doing something dangerous?"

Neon Wind Fairy shook her head: "Brother Zhao, I don't know what you're talking about."

Zhao Xing grasped her complex psychological fluctuations and immediately understood that there must be a hidden story. Time was pressing, so he immediately shouted: "Neon Wind Fairy! Did Brother Yun come to the Black Sky Wilderness to resurrect the Xia Emperor? Is he going to sacrifice to an evil god? Yes or no!"

"Do you know how dangerous this is? If you don't tell me quickly, he will fall into an irredeemable situation. You haven't seen each other for many years, and reuniting is not easy. Do you want to be separated again?"

"Tell me quickly, maybe I can still save him!"

Neon Wind Fairy's psychological defense was broken by Zhao Xing. She had been struggling, and now seeing Zhao Xing say that Yun Tiandao was in danger, she told him everything.

"Tian Ge and I did once obtain a statue of a god, and from him, we learned many secrets of the Wilderness Era."

"After Tian Ge was rejected by the Reincarnation Divine Hall, he thought of seeking help from this god—"

Zhao Xing was shocked. Yun Tiandao was indeed bewitched by an evil god!

"Do you know the name of this god? Have you practiced his method, or taken any medicine he gave?"

Neon Wind Fairy shook her head: "That was just a very ordinary god statue, only capable of communication, not capable of transmitting objects. Tian Ge and I were also here for the first time."

"Originally, Tian Ge and I both had tokens, but he told me to stay here first. If he didn't return, he told me to throw away the token and never look for him again—"

It seemed Yun Tiandao hadn't completely lost his mind, as he had left his Dao companion behind first.

Zhao Xing looked at the increasingly panicked Neon Wind Fairy: "Sister-in-law, don't panic. Hand the token to me, there is still time—" "Okay, it's this—" Neon Wind Fairy handed a dark red wooden carving to Zhao Xing, but just as she was about to hand it over, she suddenly pulled her hand back.

Suddenly, the statue in Neon Wind Fairy's hand burst into red light, erupting like a scorching sun.

Seeing the red light spreading onto Neon Wind Fairy's body, Zhao Xing made a decisive move, cutting off Neon Wind Fairy's hand and burning it with heart fire. At the same time, he took Neon Wind Fairy into his world ring.

"Boom!"

The light transformed into a god statue, chanting a true mantra:

"Since you see the Boundless True God, why do you not bow?"

The language was like the laws of heaven and earth, pressing on Zhao Xing's heart. At this moment, even his other avatars were affected.

"Zui~"

Zhao Xing's eyes turned red instantly, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down.

At this moment, he immediately activated the four-layered Seven-Colored Magic Power, with the Profound Soul Magic Power and the Cangming Magic Power enhancing his true spirit and heart will, and the Red Lotus Magic Power destroying everything, immediately resisting the urge to kneel.

But Zhao Xing still obediently knelt down. His goal was to remain clear-headed and take the opportunity to ask questions, not to resist and destroy this god statue.

"Lost lamb, it is not too late to turn back." The Boundless True God nodded kindly.

"Please, Divine Venerable, point out the way for me." Zhao Xing looked extremely pious.

"You are trapped in this backward era, bewitched and controlled by the evil gods here, and will eventually head toward an unavoidable death." The Boundless True God's voice was cold.

Zhao Xing pretended to be somewhat surprised: "How can that be? Am I controlled by the gods of the Profound Spirit Star Domain?"

"Of course. The gods who remain in the Wilderness Era are all cowards who fear death. They would rather accompany the universe toward decay than prevent the True God's salvation. Furthermore, they disturb the river of time, destroying the great plan of salvation."

"They block the Great Dao, seal and tamper with history, and do not allow people to become gods. Is this not an evil god?"

Zhao Xing was stunned. This wasn't an act; he felt somewhat ridiculous.

The "evil gods" who fled to the past actually viewed the gods who stayed in the Wilderness Era as evil gods, as escapists? It seemed these so-called "evil gods" weren't the type to just kill and destroy the world; they seemed to be holding up the banner of "salvation."

Zhao Xing didn't want to listen to the Boundless True God's evaluation of modern gods, but at this moment, Yun Tiandao on the other side had already come out, his life aura stable and significantly increased.

Zhao Xing was no longer in a hurry, but bowed again: "Yes, absolutely right. I often feel bound and unable to be free—please, Divine Venerable, point out the way for me."

Fairy Fairy Ni Feng shook her head: "That was just a very ordinary divine statue, only possessing the ability to communicate, not the ability to transmit objects. Tian Ge and I were here for the first time."

"Originally, Tian Ge and I both had tokens, but he asked me to wait here first. If he went and never returned, he told me to throw away the token and never come looking for him again—"

It seems Yun Tiandao hasn't completely lost his mind, leaving his Dao companion behind first.

Zhao Xing looked at Fairy Fairy Ni Feng, whose expression was gradually becoming panicked: "Sister-in-law, don't panic. Hand the token to me; there is still time—" "Okay, it's this—" Fairy Fairy Ni Feng handed a dark red wooden carving to Zhao Xing, but just as she was about to hand it over, she suddenly pulled her hand back.

Suddenly, the statue in Fairy Fairy Ni Feng's hand erupted with intense red light, like a scorching sun.

Seeing the red light spreading onto Fairy Fairy Ni Feng's body, Zhao Xing made a decisive decision, cutting off Fairy Fairy Ni Feng's hand and burning it with heart fire. At the same time, he took Fairy Fairy Ni Feng into his world ring.

"Boom!"

The light and shadow transformed into a divine statue, chanting a mantra:

"Since you see the Boundless True God, why do you not bow?"

The language was like the laws of heaven and earth, pressing on Zhao Xing's mind. At this moment, even his other clones were affected.

"Ugh~"

Zhao Xing's eyes turned red instantly, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down.

At this moment, he immediately used the blessing of the four-layered seven-colored magic power, Xuanhun magic power and Cangming magic power to enhance his True Spirit and mental will, and Red Lotus magic power to destroy everything, immediately resisting this urge to kneel.

But Zhao Xing still knelt down obediently; his purpose was to stay awake and incidentally fish for information, not to resist and destroy this divine statue.

"Knowing the way back after being lost, it is not too late," the Boundless True God nodded kindly.

"Please, Divine Venerable, point out the way for me." Zhao Xing looked pious.

"Poor person," the Boundless True God's eyes were filled with pity, as if full of compassion.

"Since you have found the way back, tell me how you were deceived by the evil gods; this God is willing to help you."

Zhao Xing cried bitterly: "They blocked my memories, treated me like trade goods from one country to another, and even suppressed me under a mountain for five hundred years—"

"Someone tricked me into learning flawed cultivation techniques, causing my soul to tear, almost leading to Qi deviation—"

"The cultivation techniques passed to me could even devour each other; it was clearly intended to fatten me up before killing me—"

oTTKΛNo￠o

"Later, they made me and my relatives and friends work day and night in the bitter cold Wilderness, opening up ancient paths for them, and I was almost trapped to death in the ancient Dao layer of the void—"

"Someone even planted a very terrifying poison in me, called the True Spirit Heavenly Poison."

"And someone wanted to take me as an experimental subject, wanting to refine me into a heartless killing tool—"

"Later, I luckily survived, but there were still people who wanted to snatch the fruits of the hard work I had done in the Wilderness..."
