Chapter 529: God Seed Sprouting, Space-Time Boat!

Inner world, Yin-Yang galaxy.

Zhao Xing's gaze was fixed on that green planet. At this moment, it was emitting a faint shimmer, spreading outward.

"The native species is finally going to sprout."

"I've waited for almost ten thousand years."

Zhao Xing was somewhat excited.

The god-level native species was born when his Self-School path broke through to the Reincarnation level and he opened up his inner world with the World-Opening Divine Stone.

After birth, it was in the shape of a seed planet and had been gestating ever since.

It had eaten the power of the World-Opening Divine Stone, the time particles given by the Boundless True God, and the origin power condensed by the Hunyuan Dao Tower.

Even those of a slightly lower grade were at the World Heart level!

In addition, a large amount of boundary stones invested into the inner world would also bring benefits to the seed. Zhao Xing also fed it with seven-colored magic power year after year.

Among the three schools, he had invested the most in his cultivation of the Self-School.

Developing the Yanxing Ancient Road, becoming the Hill Head of the Ancient Hill, defeating the Carlos family, and the many riches obtained from executing Evil God tasks—the bulk of them were used to raise it.

The legendary-level troop, the Soul-Eating Tree, could only eat what it didn't want; as for other emperor-level troops? They could only eat leftovers.

"Zhao Xing, you seem quite excited." Divine General Hua Li watched from the side.

As the fourth hidden guardian Divine General, Divine General Hua Li had always stayed in Zhao Xing's inner world.

She was different from Bowei; she could wander around Zhao Xing's inner world, while Bowei could only move in a limited area on the Boundless Continent.

In terms of trust, Zhao Xing trusted Hua Li more, because Bowei, Yan Ao, and Lu Ya all came because of the high-level's tasks to protect the Dao, while Divine General Hua Li had actively stood out to protect Zhao Xing after being asked by the Ancient Luo River.

"You should understand my feelings." Zhao Xing rubbed his hands and said, "Ten thousand years of time, I have invested a lot, and now the seed is finally going to sprout, it's like, it's like—"

"Like a child is about to be born." Hua Li asked with a smile.

"Yes." Zhao Xing also smiled. "That's exactly it."

"Boundary, Gate, Order, Branch, Science, Species, Five Elements, Wind, Thunder, and Space-Time—what kind of child do you want? What kind of talent do you expect him to have?" Divine General Hua Li asked.

When the native species has not broken its shell, the species is unknown, and it will only be known after the gestation is over.

"How can one pick a child? Whatever it is, I will raise it and raise it well." Zhao Xing laughed.

"Not bad." Divine General Hua Li gave a thumbs up. "Only a Farmer with this mindset can raise a life-bound native species well."

Just as the two were chatting, the native species finally ended its gestation state. With a *hum* of vibration, the last divine light expansion ended, and then all the halos suddenly converged.

In the end, the planet disappeared, replaced by a tiny sapling.

*Swish*—

The sapling floated toward the sun in the Yin-Yang galaxy and stopped on the periphery.

This instinctive action made Zhao Xing's heart happy. It absorbed the sun's essence, not the moon's essence—could it be a Sun Treasure Tree?

Zhao Xing and Divine General Hua Li quickly followed.

Since the gestation was complete, checking with the panel quickly revealed the information directly.

【Keyang Divine Tree】

【Species: Sun Treasure Tree, Time Species】

【Quality: God-level】

【State: Seedling Stage】

【Talent Divine Skill (Active): Time Stagnation; The Keyang Divine Tree can briefly take root in the River of Time, making the flow of time slow down or even stop completely.】

【Talent Divine Skill (Passive): Phase Fire Returning to Origin; The roots of the Keyang Divine Tree can absorb the sun's essence to grow.】

"Wow, it's actually a Sun Treasure Tree with a time talent." Divine General Hua Li immediately let out an exclamation.

Zhao Xing was also stunned; he didn't expect the surprise to come so suddenly.

Boundary, Gate, Order, Branch, Science, Species, Five Elements, Wind, Thunder, and Space-Time—this is a sentence that Farmers of the Self-School often recite when gestating a native species.

Because the gestation of a native species is like opening a blind box; you have to roll for the talent and species twice.

Rolling for a tree son is better than opening a grass son; among all plants, the tree category is undoubtedly the strongest foundation.

Next is the talent; Five Elements, Wind, Thunder, and Space-Time refer to the types of talents.

Gold, Wood, Water, Fire, Earth—Five Elements talents are the bottom-line talents and are the most common.

Wind and Thunder talents are more advanced; after all, it is very rare for plants to possess talent skills in the Wind and Thunder series.

The top-tier ones are Space and Time talents!

Time species are the strongest, and Void species are second.

Back then, a Cloud-Touching Vine could beat those of the same level and fight across levels.

However, as a vine species, the Cloud-Touching Vine's foundation was still slightly weaker. There were many in the Void species stronger than it; for example, the Control Paulownia Tree belonged to the same Void species as the Cloud-Touching Vine. Assuming they were of the same level, the Control Paulownia Tree would be stronger than the Cloud-Touching Vine.

Of course, the advantage of the vine species is that it forms quickly, and the time and energy required for cultivation are also less.

"Tree roots stepping on Yin and Yang, a Sun Treasure Tree appearing as a native species is a top-tier foundation, and the talent is still time-based. This native species of yours can be said to have its growth potential maxed out." Divine General Hua Li couldn't help but exclaim.

"Zhao Xing, congratulations, you've given birth to a top-notch fat boy."

"Hahaha, thank you for your praise. I'm just lucky." Zhao Xing was very happy now, even wanting to take out a red envelope for Divine General Hua Li.

Time Stagnation, Phase Fire Returning to Origin—both active and passive talent skills were divine skills. Now it was only in the seedling stage,

and more talent divine skills would be born in the future.

Once this big tree grew up, relying on it, he could walk sideways through endless space-time.

"That's not luck; you must have fed it quite a few good things."

"Hmm, I fed it time particles and the divine power origin of a True God." Zhao Xing said.

"You are truly attentive." Divine General Hua Li praised.

Investing time-based treasures as nutrients does not necessarily lead to the birth of a time talent. Zhao Xing being willing to do this shows he is attentive.

The time particles given by the Boundless True God were worth two hundred million contribution points. If this were used for himself, it could be exchanged for four opportunities to become a god.

Feeding it to the native species? That was a relatively extravagant approach.

"But you'll have your hands full from now on." Divine General Hua Li laughed. "If you're not careful, this tree son of yours will eat you into poverty."

"Yes." Zhao Xing was happy but also somewhat melancholy. To raise the tree son, a high-quality growth environment and food were definitely indispensable.

Before, it wanted to eat god-level quality treasures, and now it probably couldn't be lower.

"Divine General Hua Li, you have experience; what should I feed it?"

"I don't know either." Divine General Hua Li said. "However, you have so many divine objects; you can take a few and put them in front of it. As a Sun Treasure Tree, it should be able to crush ordinary divine objects and absorb the divine origin inside force artifacts or Dao artifacts."

"Good!" Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and took out seven treasures from Wei Tianchen's legacy that were of no great use. Previously, nine could be sold, and two were taken to exchange for a Space-Time Grain Rain Dharma Robe. Now seven remained, including five Dao artifacts and two force artifacts.

*Swish, swish, swish*—

Zhao Xing pushed with both hands and pushed all seven divine objects to the side of the tree son.

*Crunch*—

Sure enough, as Divine General Hua Li said, the Keyang Divine Tree immediately began to shake the foundation of these divine objects and began to absorb their power.

"It's not as hard as the World-Opening Divine Stone, and its might is not higher than time particles. It can absorb the power of these two, so crushing these low-level artifacts is not a difficult task."

"It has a bright future." Divine General Hua Li watched the divine tree swallow the divine object origin and felt that this scene was very beautiful.

Before long, all seven divine objects were eaten clean, and the residue was thrown toward the Boundless Continent, left for the little brother Soul-Eating Grass to eat.

As a native species born in Zhao Xing's inner world, the Keyang Divine Tree had been fed by Zhao Xing for a long time and was completely connected in heart and mind.

Zhao Xing could feel that the 'spirit' of the Keyang Divine Tree was clear and warm, even in the seedling stage, unlike the Soul-Eating Grass which was muddled in the seedling stage.

"It can eat so much." Divine General Hua Li covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhao Xing, however, had a worried face, because the tree son had eaten so much, yet only grew one leaf.

Observing with the panel, it was still in the seedling stage; clearly, seven low-grade divine objects were simply not enough to let it leave the seedling stage.

"After the seedling stage is the growth stage, then the mature stage, and the peak stage. I don't know how many treasures I have to feed it in these stages." After the excitement, there was melancholy.

Although he still had quite a few divine objects left, they were all very useful. The Space-Time Grain Rain Dharma Robe on his body was also something the tree son wanted to eat, but Zhao Xing still needed to use it himself.

After observing, Zhao Xing moved the Hunyuan Dao Tower over.

*Boom*—

Zhao Xing now mastered the second-layer array map of the Hunyuan Dao Tower, and the divine power mobilized exceeded 1000 points. Divine power fell from the Dao Tower like raindrops, sprinkling on the little tree.

"One World Divine Splendor!"

"Hunyuan Divine Foundation!"

Zhao Xing cast the divine arts of the Self-School. These two divine arts were auxiliary divine methods.

At this moment, the world power of the entire inner world was mobilized by these two divine methods, accelerating the growth of the little tree.

"Bastard, what are you doing?" On the Boundless Continent, in a manor, Bowei looked at the large patch of vegetable seeds that had died in the vegetable garden, his face very ugly. "I've raised them for five thousand years, and it wasn't easy to raise these derivative species!"

Zhao Xing mobilized divine methods, which would naturally affect the whole world. He was too happy for a moment and forgot that Bowei was still planting vegetables.

Now it was good; Bowei's experimental field, the seedlings were almost all dead.

It was truly a disaster.

"I'm sorry, Elder."

Zhao Xing immediately knelt over to apologize to Bowei.

"I apologize to you."

"If apologies were useful, would I still be locked up?" Bowei still had a straight face.

Zhao Xing was also somewhat puzzled. Clearly, these seedlings were not particularly high-level, but Bowei seemed to value this very much.

"I'll replant them for you—"

"Hmph, no need, get lost!"

Bowei flicked his sleeves and entered the manor directly. He opened the boundary transmission, indicating that he didn't want to deal with Zhao Xing for a period of time.

Zhao Xing was somewhat annoyed. Bowei's official-business-like attitude meant that in the future, he might not answer his questions anymore.

The guardian only takes action when encountering a life-and-death crisis. Bowei answering questions and even passing on methods in normal times was purely out of human sentiment.

"Forget it, luck is indeed balanced. Just rolled a divine tree out, and turned around to make Bowei angry." Zhao Xing retreated from the inner world somewhat helplessly.

In the Xuanling Star Domain, there is a "Divine Selection Division" jointly formed by the Origin Heavenly Palace, the Reincarnation Divine Palace, the Ancient Hill, the Red Star Empire, the Ancient Country Alliance, the Academy City, and the Monster God Palace.

That is, selecting Divine Realm candidates from the entire domain, and based on their meritorious performance, uniformly opening a boundary channel at a certain time period to cross space-time barriers and send the candidate demigods to the space-time territory to give them the opportunity to become gods.

The size of the opportunity and the location of becoming a god are determined by contribution points and ranking.

The benefit Zhao Xing got from writing the Ten Directions Mountain Classic was being able to move the guardian, but this is two different things from contribution points. Contribution points are what they are, and his contribution points mainly came from the Era Worm early warning incident.

After the 150 million contribution points were credited, Zhao Xing was only ranked eight hundredth in the contribution ranking.

"With your contribution ranking, don't think about space-time territories that are too far away." The little yellow duck slid the mirror with its wings. "The top one hundred are one batch, one hundred and one to five hundred are another batch, and five hundred and one to one thousand are another batch. The three batches go to different space-times."

"From the contribution system of the Divine Selection Division, the first one hundred have the greatest opportunity to become gods. According to past eras, "

"there are more than ten people out of one hundred who become gods. At the luckiest time, there was a time when half of them became Carefree Gods."

"In the second batch, there were fewer than ten successful ones."

"As for five hundred and one to one thousand, there might be one or two, or there might be none at all, making a wasted trip."

"The probability of becoming a god in the first tier is actually so high." Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised; he thought it would be very low.

Even on average, the opportunity to become a god in the first tier is forty percent, and in the luckiest batch, it even exceeded fifty percent.

"Opening a boundary channel to travel through space-time is of course done with certainty. You get what you pay for; how much contribution you have, you enjoy how much welfare."

"You, Farmer Zhao, although talented and gifted, in terms of contribution to the human race, it's only a little over 150 million, and that's still thanks to Qing Yuzi. Otherwise, you'd still be struggling for the third-tier opportunity." The little yellow duck said in an old-fashioned tone.

"You are right." Zhao Xing said modestly. "I'm just curious; I have no dissatisfaction with the arrangement."

In the long time, many demigods have been silently paying for the human race. Even during the period of invasion by Era Worms, Heaven-Dimension Giant Beasts, and History Book Worms, many people have been taking risks to execute contribution tasks.

In these five thousand years, he has almost never taken risks. He just went to watch mountains and seas everywhere, relied on the Ten Directions Mountain Classic to obtain the protection of three guardian Divine Generals, and obtained a large amount of contribution points from Qing Yuzi's early warning incident. This treatment is already much better than other demigods, which can be called preferential treatment.

As for that matter with Old Qing, if it weren't for the information he brought along, an ordinary demigod would probably not be able to get so many contribution points. There is still some reputation bonus and human factor in it.

"Before setting off, I must also remind you." The little yellow duck said solemnly: "Space-time travel itself is a very dangerous thing. Don't act recklessly just because you have deep welfare and the protection of guardian Divine Generals."

"With your talent, comprehension, and foundation, even if you go to the third-tier opportunity place, you are almost certain to become a Carefree God. Don't be overly greedy and put yourself in a dangerous situation."

"Yes." Zhao Xing said respectfully. "I will definitely keep it in mind."

If you don't seek death, you won't die. Lu Ya is reminding him not to be too arrogant.

"Next are some rules for space-time travel. They are all written on this. You can read them yourself. If you don't understand anything, don't ask me; ask Bowei." The little yellow duck slapped the star mirror over and closed its eyes to sleep.

Zhao Xing took the star mirror and looked. The content presented inside was a space-time travel code of conduct.

In the space-time travel code of conduct, several time concepts were first clarified.

"First, space-time travel requires bearing the backlash of the River of Time. It only depends on the size of the backlash; it is impossible to have none, unless you have already become a god and reached a state of complete Divine Concealment."

"Second, the time point before travel, which is the return point, is the best way to reduce backlash."

"If you have not become a god, the error cannot exceed ten world-star years."

"That is to say, if I set off from the sixth solar year of the third era of the Desolate Domain, then when I return, I must also be in the sixth solar year, and even accurate to the world-star year, month, and day."

"Because my causality line, fate line, and life line all started to reverse from this solar year. If the breakthrough to become a god fails, then I must correct the time sequence."

"Assuming I become a god, the error can be larger, because the Divine Realm can gather the three lines from birth to the present. However, in order to enter the semi-Divine Concealment state as soon as possible, I must also try to minimize the error of the return time point."

Since the black-robed figure had already explained some of the tricks, it was not difficult for Zhao Xing to understand now.

Assuming he travels through space-time on October 1st of the first world-star year of the sixth solar year, if he fails to become a god, he must return to this day.

The smaller the error, the smaller the backlash cost. The larger the error, the greater the cost to bear.

"After arriving at historical space-time, you should try to minimize interaction with people. This can minimize causal confusion to the greatest extent."

"After traveling, there is a limited safe time. If you exceed this safe time and have not yet become a god, you need to return immediately; otherwise, problems will occur."

"What problems?" Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled, but the little yellow duck was sleeping, and Yan Ao was relatively cold. After thinking about it, he could only ask Bowei, the God of Scholars.

Fortunately, it was about serious business, and Bowei did not shut him out.

"Causality, fate, life—many Daos run through your life. Placed in the River of Time, the Dao is as small as a silk thread." Bowei threw three lines into the river in front of the manor.

One end of the line was fixed on a wooden stake in the river, and the other end was constantly deriving along the river.

"The wooden stake point is your birth point. It is fixed. Before this, you did not exist."

"After the wooden stake, your line floats forward in the River of Time. This process is the process of you living forward."

"Normally speaking, this process is irreversible. As the line itself, you have no power to change it."

"The head of the line is the space-time you are currently in."

"However, at this time, external force intervenes, for example, like this." Bowei reached out and pinched the head of the line, making it leave the river and fold back."

"This way you leave the present, and at this time you begin to be affected."

"You tell me, what kind of influence will there be?" Bowei was like a teacher giving a lecture, asking questions to the student.

Zhao Xing looked at the line being lifted and was thoughtful: "My line has become longer—no, it has been stretched by external force."

"What are the consequences after being stretched?" Bowei continued to pursue the question.

"There will be a section of causality for no reason, the fate line will also be thinned, and tribulations will appear." Zhao Xing answered.

"Not bad." Bowei nodded. "Your causality line originally only interacted with the sixth solar year of the third era of the Desolate Domain, and there was a limit to both fortune and misfortune. However, after traveling through the River of Time, the longer the causality line is stretched, the more causality is automatically added."

"Misfortunes will be borne twofold."

"Why isn't it that both fortune and misfortune are doubled?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Because returning to past space-time violates the natural laws of the cosmic Great Dao. There are too many people in the same time, and it cannot be borne, so the natural laws of the universe will automatically eliminate some abnormal situations."

"Causality lines and fate lines must be discussed together. The real feedback is that your tribulations will increase, and you might even be unable to control the descent of the True Spirit Tribulation."

"Unless you have already become a god and entered a state of Divine Concealment, the cost will be smaller."

"It seems that demigods traveling through the River of Time is a dangerous thing." Zhao Xing sighed.

"Of course it is very dangerous. This is originally the exclusive ability of the Divine Realm, and ordinary Divine Soldiers cannot do it; it requires the Divine General level, otherwise, you have to rely on external forces such as divine objects and formations."

"Normally speaking, demigods selected by the Divine Selection Division only have at most three opportunities to gamble for the opportunity to become a god, "

"and for the same location, the success rate is lower and lower."

"If you still haven't become a god after three times, there is basically no hope. At that time, the backlash is already too great for a demigod to bear."

Bowei pointed his finger at the upstream of the wooden stake: "If it is after the birth point, it is slightly better. If it is before, then after three times, the past is equivalent to sending yourself to death."

"Because I do not exist in the past space-time." Zhao Xing understood that the danger level is different depending on the time period traveled.

"Yes, but as long as you become a god, the problem I just mentioned is no longer a problem; they are all costs that can be borne." Bowei said. "Therefore, the first travel through the River of Time is crucial."

"What does the safe time mentioned in the code of conduct mean?" Zhao Xing asked. "Also, if I cannot return through normal means, can I return to the third era by living on the spot?"

"Safe time is calculated from the moment you fall back into the River of Time after traveling through space-time. If you exceed a certain time range, the tribulations of causality, fate, and even lifespan will increase."

"As for whether you can return to the third era of the Desolate Domain by living on the spot—" Bowei laughed. "If you have become a god, there is still some hope of carrying the backlash, but every day you live, you need to consume double or more lifespan and suffer more tribulations. If you think your life is too long, then you can indeed do this."

"In fact, you cannot do this."

"Why?"

"Because the time barrier forged by the two major divine-level factions blocks this possibility." Bowei said. "Assuming you return to the eighth era before the Desolate Domain, and then you want to return to the third era of the Desolate Domain by living on the spot."

"And assuming there is a time barrier in the seventh era before the Desolate Domain, then when you live to this point, you will find that time does not move."

"Does not move?" Zhao Xing was somewhat confused.

"The time barriers set by the two major divine-level factions all contain many space-time traps. You will find yourself forever staying on a certain day, constantly spinning in a vortex of the space-time river."

"Either you will find that everything around you is still, and you can no longer act, with only your thinking still active, but your divine body origin is fixed."

"Until one side discovers you, kills you, or rescues you."

"And being killed is more likely."

"However, this is a trap prepared for gods. You, a demigod, should not think about these things now."

Zhao Xing nodded. Afterward, he asked many fragmented questions. Finally, he asked a very critical question: "Elder, if I become a god, how should I gather these lines so that they completely condense into a line ball and are no longer restricted by the Dao of causality and fate?"

"Hehe."

Bowei couldn't be bothered to pay attention to Zhao Xing and closed the door directly.

This guy wanted to get his spells for free again.

Zhao Xing saw Bowei not paying attention to him and was also somewhat embarrassed.

He did indeed want to get spells for free from Bowei, because when he asked the black-robed figure at the time, this question cost money.

He didn't expect Bowei to see through his thoughts and didn't intend to let him continue to get things for free.

"Sigh, still didn't coax him well." Zhao Xing was somewhat helpless. "I don't know when Bowei will stop being angry."

Withdrawing his spirit from the inner world, Zhao Xing continued to look at the space-time travel code of conduct.

After understanding the rules, he waited for the space-time travel of the Divine Selection Division to depart.

Then he could get off the bus at any time and choose a certain space-time secret realm.

This was a collective action, but it was not a collective action, because there were long time points available for people to choose from.

Zhao Xing waited in the North Hai Divine Palace of the First Void Ancestor Star System of the Origin Heavenly Palace.

When the Divine Selection Division would depart was a secret, and even Zhao Xing himself didn't know.

However, he didn't wait for the departure, but first waited for Ji Si, because after Ji Si returned from the Tianze Star Domain, she also obtained the qualification to become a god.

"Great Farmer, which space-time secret realm do you plan to choose?"

"I haven't decided yet. In any case, it's a third-tier opportunity. Which space-time doesn't make much difference, right? Isn't this just waiting for you?" Zhao Xing said. He and Ji Si planned to act together.

"Great Farmer, there is still a difference." Ji Si smiled slightly: "The Triassic, Luanhe Era, and Baizhuo Era of the Dao Manifestation Era in the Mesozoic contain the complete Five Emperors era."

"After the Five Emperors era ended, there were 365 known spiritual domain eras in the Cenozoic."

"After the spiritual domain era, there are the three eras of the Desolate Domain era."

"The two major divine-level factions use space-time as territory, circling land to be kings, and forging barriers. During this period, the defensive power is strong and weak. Even a third-tier opportunity has high and low levels; it just depends on whether the chosen time point is correct."

"Wait a minute, why is there a distinction between known eras and unknown eras?" Zhao Xing was puzzled: "After the Luo Emperor era ended, isn't it 365 eras until now?"

"Actually, no." Ji Si shook her head: "Historical discontinuity is not empty talk. After the Five Emperors era ended, a blank gap appeared. During this period, there are no records at all. And traveling through the River of Time usually uses history books as a guide, so there is a distinction about where to go."

"In the second era of the Desolate Domain, it was still believed that there were only 347 eras since the end of the Five Emperors era."

"However, after Bowei opened the Transmission World Building, it was confirmed to be a history of 365 eras."

"The history book became longer, and there was a guide, so there were more places to travel. This is also why star historians tirelessly confirm some historical ancient books."

"As for whether there is a longer time since the Five Emperors era? Currently, there is no fixed number. The two major factions are fighting over these historical space-times."

Zhao Xing then remembered that Ji Si also practiced as a Fate Official, so everything should be listened to her.

"I don't understand these sayings of you historians. In any case, since you are here, I will lie flat." Zhao Xing laughed.

"It's rare to have a time when the Great Farmer doesn't need to use his brain." Ji Si also smiled.

"Then do you have any good suggestions?" Zhao Xing asked.

"It depends on which kind of Farmer God the Great Farmer wants to become first." Ji Si pondered: "Do you want to become an Earth God first, or a Self God?"

"Of course it is—"

Zhao Xing was about to say it, when Yan Ao suddenly appeared in the North Hai Divine Palace.

"Greetings, Martial God Yan." Ji Si bowed.

"Hmm." Yan Ao nodded, then sent a spiritual message: "Ji Si, Zhao Xing, the Space-Time Boat of the Divine Selection Division is about to depart. You two follow me."
