Chapter 557: Divine Seed Sprouts, the Time-Space Vessel!

Within the inner world, the Yin-Yang Star System.

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

"The primordial seed is finally about to sprout."

"Almost waited ten thousand years for this."

Zhao Xing was somewhat excited.

The divine-grade primordial seed was born when his Benwo Sect path broke through to the Reincarnation grade, and he used the World-Opening Divine Stone to open up his inner world.

After its birth, it took 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 granules given by the Boundless True God, and the origin force condensed by the Primordial Dao Pagoda.

Even slightly lower-grade ones are at the World Heart level!

Besides, large amounts of boundary stones invested into the inner world would also benefit the seed, and Zhao Xing had also fed it year-round with seven-colored magic power.

Among the three sects, he invested the most in his cultivation at the Benwo Sect,

developing the Annihilating Star Ancient Path, becoming the chief of Mount Zhiqiu, defeating the Kallos family, and executing the Evil God missions — most of the wealth gained was spent on nurturing it.

Even the legendary-grade troop, the Spirit-Devouring Tree, could only eat what it discarded; as for other emperor-grade troops? They could only eat the leftovers.

"Zhao Xing, you seem quite excited." Divine General Huali watched alongside him.

As the hidden fourth guardian divine general, Divine General Huali had always stayed within Zhao Xing's inner world.

She was different from Bovi — Zhao Xing's inner world was one she could wander freely through, whereas Bovi could only move within restricted areas on the Boundless Continent.

In terms of trust, Huali enjoyed more of Zhao Xing's confidence, because Bovi, Yan Ao, Lu Ya and the others had all come to protect the Dao largely because of high-level missions, whereas Divine General Huali had stepped forward of her own accord to protect Zhao Xing's Dao after Guluohe inquired.

"You should understand how I feel." Zhao Xing rubbed his hands together and said: "Ten thousand years, I've invested so much, and now the seed is finally about to sprout, it's like, it's like—————·

"Like a child about to be born." Huali asked with a smile.

"Exactly." Zhao Xing also laughed, "That's exactly it."

"Gate, class, order, family, genus, species — the five elements, wind, thunder, and time-space. What kind of child do you want? What talents are you hoping it will have?" Divine General Huali asked.

Before a primordial seed hatches, its type is unknown; only after gestation ends will it be revealed.

"How can you pick a child? Whatever it is, I'll raise it well." Zhao Xing laughed.

"Not bad." Divine General Huali gave a thumbs-up. "Only a Si Nong with this kind of mindset can properly raise a lifebond primordial seed."

Just as the two were chatting, the primordial seed finally ended its gestation state. With a hum of vibration, the last burst of divine light spread out, and then all the halos suddenly contracted.

In the end, the planet vanished, replaced by an extremely small sapling.

Swoosh~

The sapling drifted toward the sun in the Yin-Yang Star System and stopped at the outer edge.

This instinctive action made Zhao Xing's heart leap with joy — it absorbed the sun's solar essence rather than the lunar moon-glow. Could it be a Sun Treasure Tree?

Zhao Xing and Divine General Huali quickly followed.

Since gestation was already complete, checking with the panel immediately revealed the information.

【Keyang Divine Tree】

【Type: Sun Treasure Tree, Time Seed】

【Quality: Divine Grade】

【Status: Seedling Stage】

【Talent Divine Skill (Active): Time Stasis; the Keyang Divine Tree can briefly take root in the River of Time, causing the flow of time to slow or even come to a complete standstill.】

【Talent Divine Skill (Passive): Ministerial Fire Returning to Origin; the roots and stems of the Keyang Divine Tree can draw upon the sun's solar essence to grow.】

"Wow, it's actually a Sun Treasure Tree with a time talent." Divine General Huali immediately exclaimed.

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

"Gate, class, order, family, genus, species — the five elements, wind, thunder, and time-space" — this was a line Benwo Sect Si Nong often recited while gestating primordial seeds.

Because gestating a primordial seed was like opening a blind box — the talent and type had to be rolled twice.

Rolling a tree son was always better than opening a grass son; among all plants, the great tree category undoubtedly had the strongest foundation.

Next came the talent — the five elements, wind, thunder, and time-space referred to the types of talents.

Metal, wood, water, fire, earth — the five elemental talents were the guaranteed baseline, the most common.

Wind and thunder talents were a step higher; after all, it was rare enough for a plant to possess talents from the wind or thunder series.

The very top tier, however, was the space and time talents!

Time seeds were the strongest, void seeds came next.

Back then, a single Sky-Scaling Vine could dominate those of the same grade, and cross-grade combat was no problem either.

But as a vine-type, Sky-Scaling's foundation was still slightly weaker; within the void seeds there were many stronger than it — for example, the Hollow Paulownia Tree and Sky-Scaling Vine both belonged to the void seed category. If they were on the same grade, the Hollow Paulownia Tree would be stronger than the Sky-Scaling Vine.

Of course, the advantage of vine-types was their fast maturation speed, requiring less time and effort to cultivate.

"Tree roots tread yin and yang — a Sun Treasure Tree appearing as a primordial seed is top-tier foundation, and the talent is time-type. Your primordial seed can be said to have its growth potential maxed out." Even Divine General Huali couldn't help exclaiming.

"Zhao Xing, congratulations — you've birthed a top-notch, chubby little fellow."

"Hahaha, thank you for the praise; I'm just lucky." Zhao Xing was very happy now, and even felt like giving Divine General Huali a red packet.

Time Stasis, Ministerial Fire Returning to Origin — both active and passive talents were divine skills, and it was still only at the seedling stage,

More talent divine skills would be born in the future.

Once this great tree fully grew, relying on it, he could stride freely through the endless time-space.

"That's not just luck — you must have fed it plenty of good things."

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

"You really put your heart into it." Divine General Huali sighed in admiration.

Investing time-type treasures as nutrients didn't necessarily mean a time talent would be born — Zhao Xing being willing to do this was, of course, putting his heart into it.

The time particles given by the Boundless True God are worth two hundred million contribution points — if used on oneself, they could be exchanged for four chances at godhood.

Feed them to a primordial species? That would be a rather extravagant approach.

"But you'll have your hands full from now on." General Huali laughed. "One careless slip and your tree-son will eat you out of house and home."

"True." Zhao Xing was happy, but also a little wistful — raising a tree-son would inevitably require a high-quality growing environment and food.

Before, it already needed god-grade treasures to eat; now it probably couldn't be fed anything lesser.

"General Huali, you have experience — what should I feed it?"

"I don't know either," General Huali said. "But you have so many divine objects — you could place a few in front of it and see. As a Sun Treasure Tree, it should be able to shatter ordinary divine objects and absorb the divine origin within Force divine artifacts or Dao divine artifacts."

"Alright!" Zhao Xing gritted his teeth and took out seven treasures from Ling Tianchen's inheritance that weren't of much use. Previously there had been nine that could be sold; he had traded two for a single Time-Space Valley Rain Dharma Robe, leaving seven — five Dao divine artifacts and two Force divine artifacts.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh~"

Zhao Xing pushed out with both hands, sending all seven divine objects next to his tree-son.

"Crackle~~"

Just as General Huali had said, the Keyang Divine Tree immediately began to shake the foundations of these divine objects and draw upon their power.

"Its hardness can't surpass the World-Shattering Divine Stone, its might can't surpass the time particles — absorbing the power of these two, shattering these lower-tier divine artifacts is no difficult feat."

"It has a bright future ahead." General Huali watched the divine tree devour the origin of the divine objects and found the scene utterly delightful.

In no time, all seven divine objects were eaten clean, and the dregs were tossed toward the Boundless Continent for the Spirit-Devouring Grass little brother to eat.

As a primordial species born within Zhao Xing's inner world, the Keyang Divine Tree had been fed by Zhao Xing for a long time, and the two were completely of one mind.

Zhao Xing could sense that the Keyang Divine Tree's "spirit" was clear and warm — even at the seedling stage, it was not as muddled as the Spirit-Devouring Grass had been at its seedling stage.

"What a hungry one." General Huali covered her mouth and laughed.

Zhao Xing, however, looked a little glum — after eating so much, his tree-son had only grown a single leaf.

Observing through the panel, it was still at the seedling stage; clearly, seven low-grade divine objects were far from enough to pull it out of the seedling stage.

"After the seedling stage comes the growth stage, then the mature stage, then the peak stage — who knows how many treasures it'll take to feed it through these phases." The excitement faded, leaving only wistfulness.

Although he still had quite a few divine objects left, they were all very useful. The Time-Space Valley Rain Dharma Robe he was wearing — his tree-son was very eager to eat that too, but Zhao Xing still needed it for himself.

After observing for a while, Zhao Xing moved the Primordial Dao Pagoda over again.

"Boom~"

Zhao Xing had now mastered the second-layer formation diagram of the Primordial Dao Pagoda, and the divine power he could mobilize had exceeded 1,000 points. Divine power rained down from the dao pagoda like droplets, scattering over the little tree.

"One-World Divine Splendor!"

"Primordial Divine Foundation!"

Zhao Xing activated the divine arts of the Benwo Sect — both of these divine arts were of an auxiliary nature.

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

"What the hell are you doing?" On the Boundless Continent, inside an estate, Bowie stared at the large swaths of vegetable sprouts that had died in his garden, his face extremely ugly. "I spent five thousand years painstakingly cultivating these derivative species!"

When Zhao Xing mobilized his divine arts, it naturally affected the entire world; in his moment of excitement, he had forgotten that he and Bowie were still growing vegetables together.

As it turned out, nearly half of Bowie's experimental field's seedlings had been wiped out.

It really was a case of the seedlings suffering.

"I'm sorry, Elder."

Zhao Xing immediately slid over on his knees to apologize to Bowie.

"I apologize to you."

"If apologies worked, would I still have been locked up?" Bowie kept a stern face.

Zhao Xing was also a bit puzzled — clearly these seedlings weren't particularly high-grade, yet Bowie seemed to value them greatly.

"Let me replant them for you—"

"Hmph, no need. Get lost!"

Bowie flicked his sleeves and went straight into the estate, activating the world barrier to signal that he didn't want to deal with Zhao Xing for the foreseeable future.

Zhao Xing was a little vexed — Bowie with his all-business-all-the-time attitude might well stop answering his questions in daily interactions from now on.

A Dao Protector only stepped in at moments of life-and-death crisis; Bowie's usual explanations, even his transmission of techniques, were purely a matter of personal favor.

"Well, fortune really is balanced — the moment I shook out a divine tree, I turned right around and made Bowie angry." Zhao Xing retreated from his inner world with some helplessness.

In the Xuanling Star Domain, there was a "Divine Selection Bureau" jointly established by the Origin Heaven Palace, the Reincarnation Divine Palace, Taigu Zhi Qiu, the Red Star Empire, the Ancient Kingdom Alliance, the Academy City, and the Demon God Palace.

That is, it selected godhood candidates from across the entire domain, and based on meritorious service, opened passages to certain realm domains at unified time intervals, crossing the barriers of time and space to send the candidate demigods to the Time-Space Territories, granting them the opportunity to become gods.

The size of the opportunity and the location of godhood were determined by contribution points and ranking.

Zhao Xing had written out the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture, and the benefit he gained was the ability to request a Dao Protector — but that was a separate matter from contribution points. Contribution points were what they were, and his contribution points mainly came from the Epoch Worm early-warning incident.

After the 150 million contribution points were credited, Zhao Xing ranked only around eight-hundred-something in the contribution rankings.

"With your contribution ranking, don't even think about the distant Time-Space Territories." 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, five-hundred-and-one to one thousand are yet another batch — the three batches go to different times and spaces."

"From the Divine Selection Bureau's contribution system, the top one hundred get the greatest godhood opportunities. Looking at past epochs,

out of one hundred, ten or more can become gods; in the luckiest instance, half of them became Carefree Gods."

"In the second batch, fewer than ten succeed."

"As for the five-hundred-and-one to one-thousand batch, maybe only one or two, or maybe not even one or two — a wasted trip."

"The success rate for the first tier is actually that high?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised; he had thought it would be much lower.

Even on average, the first tier's godhood opportunity rate was forty percent; in the luckiest batch, it even exceeded fifty percent.

"Of course they only go when they're confident about opening realm passages through time and space — you get what you pay for; the greater the contribution, the greater the blessing."

"You, Zhao the Agricultural Official, may be brimming with talent and gifts, but in terms of contribution to the human race, you've only got a little over 150 million, and that's riding on Qing Qing Yu Zi's coattails — otherwise you'd still have to grind your way to even a third-tier opportunity." Little Yellow Duck spoke with an air of world-weary authority.

"You're quite right." Zhao Xing said modestly. "I'm merely curious — I have no complaints about the arrangements."

Across the long stretch of time, many demigods have been silently contributing to the human race; even during the invasions of Epoch Worms, Heavenly-Dimension Behemoths, and History-Book Worms, there were still many people braving danger to carry out contribution-point missions.

For these five thousand years, he had barely taken any risks — just traveling to various places to see mountains and seas. Relying on the Shifang Mountain Scripture, he had gained the protection of three Dao-protecting Divine Generals, and from Brother Qing Yu's early warning incident, he had obtained a large amount of contribution points. This kind of treatment was already far better than that of the other demigods, and could be called preferential.

As for Old Qing's matter, if it weren't for the information he had brought along, an ordinary demigod probably wouldn't have been able to earn so many contribution points — there was still some reputation bonus and human sentiment factors involved.

"Before we set off, I still need to remind you." Little Yellow Duck said in all seriousness: "Time-space traversal itself is a very dangerous thing. Don't you dare act recklessly just because your fortune is deep and you have Dao-protecting Divine Generals protecting you."

"With your talent, comprehension, and foundation, even if you go to a third-tier opportunity site, you are almost certain to become a God of Freedom. You absolutely must not be overly greedy and land yourself in a dangerous situation."

"Yes." Zhao Xing said respectfully, "I will definitely keep this firmly in mind."

Don't court death and you won't die — Lu Ya was reminding him not to get too carried away.

"Next are some rules of time-space traversal, all written here. Read it yourself, quack. If there's anything you don't understand, don't ask me — ask Bovi." Little Yellow Duck slapped the Star Mirror over and squinted its eyes to sleep.

Zhao Xing took the Star Mirror and looked — the content displayed inside was a set of Time-Space Traversal Rules.

The Time-Space Traversal Rules first clarified several concepts of time.

"First, traversing time and space requires enduring the backlash of the River of Time. There is only a matter of how great the backlash is — it cannot be avoided, unless one has already become a god and reached the state of complete Divine Concealment."

"Second, the time point before traversal is the return point. This is the best way to reduce backlash."

"For those who have not yet become gods, the deviation cannot exceed ten Realm-Star years."

"That is to say, if I depart from the sixth Solar Year of the Third Epoch of the Barren Domain, then when I return, it must also be in the sixth Solar Year — and it must even be accurate down to the Realm-Star year, month, and day."

"Because my karmic line, destiny line, and life line all begin their reversal from this Solar Year. If the attempt to become a god fails, one must re-correct the time sequence."

"Suppose one succeeds in becoming a god — the deviation can be somewhat larger, because the divine realm can gather up the three lines from birth to the present. However, in order to enter the Semi-Divine Concealment state as quickly as possible, one should also minimize the deviation of the return time point as much as possible."

Since the Black Robe had already explained some of the tricks, Zhao Xing found it not difficult to understand now.

Suppose he traversed time and space on October 1st of the first Realm-Star Year of the sixth Solar Year, and failed to become a god — he would still have to return to that very day.

The smaller the deviation, the smaller the backlash cost; the greater the deviation, the greater the cost endured.

"After arriving in the historical time-space, one should minimize interaction with people, so as to reduce karmic disorder to the greatest extent."

"After traversal, there is a limited safe time. If this safe time is exceeded and one has not yet become a god, one must return immediately, or problems will arise."

"What problems?" Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled, but Little Yellow Duck was sleeping, and Yan Ao was rather aloof. After thinking it over, he could only ask the scholar-god Bovi.

Fortunately, since it was a serious matter, Bovi did not shut him out.

"Karma, destiny, life — the many Great Daos run through your entire life. Placed within the River of Time, the Great Daos are as tiny as threads." Bovi tossed three threads into the river before the manor.

One end of the thread was fixed to a wooden stake in the river, while the other end continuously extended along the flow of the river.

"The wooden stake point is your birth point. It is fixed — before this, there is no you."

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

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

"The tip of the thread is the time-space you currently occupy."

"However, at this point, an external force intervenes — like this." Bovi reached out, pinched up the tip of the thread, lifted it away from the river, and folded it back.

"Like this, you leave the present, and at this moment you begin to be affected."

"Tell me, what kind of effects will there be?" Bovi asked the question like a teacher giving a lecture to a student.

Zhao Xing looked at the lifted thread and thought for a moment: "My thread has grown longer — no, it has been stretched longer by an external force."

"What consequences will there be after it is stretched?" Bovi continued to press.

"A segment of karma will appear out of thin air, the destiny line will also be diluted, and calamities will arise." Zhao Xing answered.

"Not bad." Bovi nodded. "Your karmic line originally only interacted with the sixth Solar Year of the Third Epoch of the Barren Domain — fortune and misfortune both had a limit. But after traveling the River of Time, the longer the karmic line is stretched, the more karma automatically increases."

"Misfortune will be endured at double."

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

"Because returning to a past time-space already violates the natural operating laws of the universe's Great Dao. When there are too many people in the same time, it becomes unbearable, and the universe's natural laws will automatically eliminate some of the anomalies."

"The karmic line and the destiny line must be considered together. The true feedback is that your calamities will increase, and you may even be unable to control the descent of the True Spirit Tribulation."

"Unless one has already become a god and entered the Divine Concealment state — then this cost is somewhat smaller."

"It seems that for a demigod to travel the River of Time is a dangerous thing." Zhao Xing remarked with feeling.

"Of course it's very dangerous. This is originally an ability exclusive to the divine realm, and ordinary divine weapons won't do — it requires Divine General level, otherwise one must rely on external forces such as divine objects or formations."

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

and at the same location, the success rate decreases each time."

"If one still fails to become a god after three times, there is basically no hope. By that point, the backlash is already so great that a demigod cannot endure it."

Bovi pointed his finger upstream of the wooden stake: "If it is slightly after the birth point, it's a little better. If it is before, then after three times, going to the past is tantamount to sending oneself to death."

"Because I, in relation to the past time-space, originally do not exist." Zhao Xing understood that the danger varied depending on the time period traveled.

"Yes, but as long as one becomes a god, the problems I just mentioned are no longer problems — they are costs that can be borne." Bovi said. "Therefore, the first time traveling the River of Time is of utmost importance."

"What does the safe time mentioned in the rules mean?" Zhao Xing asked. "Also, if I cannot return through normal means, can I return to the Third Epoch by surviving in place?"

"The safe time is counted from when you plunge back into the River of Time after traversal. Beyond a certain time range, the tribulations of karma, destiny, and even lifespan will all increase."

"As for whether you can survive in place to live your way back to the Third Epoch of the Barren Domain—" Bovi laughed. "If you become a god, there's still some hope of withstanding the backlash, but every day you live requires consuming double or even more lifespan, and you suffer more tribulations. If you think your life is too long, then you certainly can do so."

"In fact, you couldn't do this even if you wanted to."

"Why?"

"Because the time barrier forged jointly by the two great god-tier camps blocks this possibility." Bovi said. "Suppose you return to the Eighth Epoch before the Barren Domain, and then you want to return to the Third Epoch of the Barren Domain by living in place."

"And suppose there is a time barrier in the Seventh Epoch before the Barren Domain. Then when you live to that point, you will find that time has stopped moving."

"Stopped?" Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled.

"The time barriers set up by the two great god-tier camps contain many time-space traps. You will find yourself forever stuck on a single day, endlessly spinning in a vortex of the River of Time."

"Either you will find that everything around you has frozen, and you can no longer move — only your mind remains active, but the source of your divine body has already been fixed."

"Until one side discovers you and either kills you or rescues you."

"And the possibility of being killed is greater."

"However, this is a trap prepared for a god. As a demigod, you shouldn't be thinking about such things for now."

Zhao Xing nodded, then asked a scattered bunch of questions. Finally, he asked a crucial one: "Elder, once I become a god, how should I gather these threads so that they condense completely into a thread-ball, no longer bound by the Dao of Cause, Effect, and Fate?"

"Heh heh."

Bo Wei couldn't even be bothered to deal with Zhao Xing and shut the door right then and there.

This guy was trying to freeload his spells again.

Zhao Xing felt a little awkward seeing that Bo Wei wouldn't take the bait.

He really did want to freeload spells from Bo Wei, because when he'd asked the black-robed figure, that question had cost money.

He hadn't expected Bo Wei to see through his intentions and refuse to let him keep freeloading.

"Sigh, still haven't coaxed him back." Zhao Xing was a little helpless. "No idea when Bo Wei will cool off."

Withdrawing his mind from his inner world, Zhao Xing continued reading the rules of time-space traversal.

After understanding the rules, he now waited for the Divine Selection Division's time-space traversal to depart.

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

It was both a group action and not a group action, because there were vast stretches of time points for people to choose from.

Zhao Xing waited at the North Hai Divine Palace in the First Void Ancestral Star System of the Origin Heaven Palace.

When the Divine Selection Division would depart was classified; Zhao Xing himself didn't know.

However, before the departure arrived, Seeing Ji Si came first, because after Seeing Ji Si returned from the Heavenly Marsh Star Domain, she had also obtained the qualification to become a god.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, which time-space secret realm are you planning to choose?"

"I haven't decided yet. In any case, it's a third-tier opportunity, so it doesn't make much difference which time-space, right? Isn't that why I'm waiting for you?" Zhao Xing said. He and Seeing Ji Si were planning to act together.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, there is still a difference." Seeing Ji Si smiled slightly. "The Triassic, the Chaotic River Era, and the Bai Zhuo Era of the Mesozoic Dao-Revealing Universe contain the complete Five Emperors Era."

"After the Five Emperors Era ended, there are the known 365 Spirit Domain Eras of the Cenozoic."

"After the Spirit Domain Eras come the three Eras of the Desolate Domain."

"The two god-level factions take time-space as their territory, fence off land as kings, and forge strongholds. During this period, defensive strength varies. Even among third-tier opportunities there are highs and lows — it all depends on whether the chosen time point is right."

"Hold on — why is there still a distinction between known eras and unknown eras?" Zhao Xing wondered. "After the Luo Emperor Era ended, hasn't it been 365 eras up to now?"

"Actually, no." Seeing Ji Si shook her head. "Historical periodization isn't empty talk. After the Five Emperors Era ended, there appeared a blank fault layer, during which there are no records at all. And when traveling the river of time, one usually uses history books as a guide, so where one goes is a matter of careful consideration."

"During the second era of the Desolate Domain, from the end of the Five Emperors Era to the present, it was still believed there were only 347 eras."

"However, after Bo Wei opened the Transmission Realm Tower, the history was confirmed at 365 eras."

"The history books grew longer, and with a guide, the places one can travel to increased. This is also why the starry-sky historians tirelessly verify certain ancient historical texts."

"As for whether the time from the Five Emperors Era to the present is even longer, there's no fixed number yet. What the two factions are fighting over is precisely these historical time-spaces."

Only then did Zhao Xing recall that Seeing Ji Si had also dual-cultivated as a Shi Guan, so he'd better just listen to her on everything.

"I don't understand you Shi Guan's way of putting things. In any case, since you've come, I'll just lie flat." Zhao Xing laughed.

"Rare to see a Grand Minister of Agriculture who doesn't have to use his brain." Seeing Ji Si also smiled.

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

"It depends on which kind of Agricultural God the Grand Minister wants to become first." Seeing Ji Si pondered. "Do you want to become an Earth God first, or a God of the True Self?"

"Of course it's—"

Just as Zhao Xing was about to speak, Yan Ao suddenly appeared within the North Hai Divine Palace.

"Greetings, Martial God Yan." Seeing Ji Si cupped her hands.

"Mm." Yan Ao nodded, then sent a telepathic message: "Seeing Ji Si, Zhao Xing, the Divine Selection Division's Time-Space Vessel is about to depart. You two, come with me."
