Chapter 576: Zhao Xing and Qing Qing Yu Zi!
"Tiyi Extinction Realm."
This was the first time Zhao Xing had heard of this place.
An extinction realm refers to a small world that has entered the end of its life.
At this stage, the small world will constantly experience natural disasters, the life Dao becomes weak, the destruction Dao occupies an absolute upper hand, and begins to destroy all material origins.
In the end, the small world collapses completely, like a bubble bursting, and disappears.
After an extinction realm collapses, it doesn't mean nothing is left; there is a small probability that 【World Heart】 treasures will be born.
"Divine Venerable, since the Yellow Extinction Realm is called the largest, it must have special features?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.
"Come with me to see."
The Boundless True God took Zhao Xing to the mysterious crystal screen in the main hall.
With a light tap, the star map zoomed in rapidly, and a blue-black small world that looked like a jellyfish appeared before his eyes.
"Do you still remember the Four-World Universe Theory of the Self-Method?"
"I remember." Zhao Xing nodded. "Any small world, including the universe, has four major stages: Primordial, Origin, Ten Thousand Phenomena, Extinction."
"How long do they last?"
"Normally, without external interference, the Primordial stage is born in a cosmic Boundless moment (10^-68 seconds)."
"The Origin stage usually lasts for about 300 to 1 billion boundary star years."
"The Ten Thousand Phenomena stage is much longer; in the world model, the minimum standard is 1 billion boundary star years, and the long ones, like the universe, have no fixed number."
"The duration of the Extinction stage also has no fixed number, but it is shorter than the Origin period."
"Hmm." The Boundless True God pointed at the star map: "The Yellow Extinction Realm is an exception."
At this time, the Yellow Extinction Realm began to backtrack in the mysterious crystal screen, presenting its forms in various periods.
Zhao Xing watched, gradually opening his mouth wide.
Because no matter how the time point backtracked, the Yellow Extinction Realm was always occupied by the black destruction Dao, and natural disasters almost did not decrease significantly.
The life born in the Yellow Extinction Realm often perished without much time to survive.
When the backtracking time point reached the earliest starting point, the Yellow World disappeared.
From beginning to end, Zhao Xing did not see the Origin period of life gestation or the Ten Thousand Phenomena period of reproduction and evolution. "Only the extinction period, no Ten Thousand Phenomena or Origin period." Zhao Xing was stunned. "How is it possible—Divine Venerable, any world should be applicable to the Four-World
"It's just that these stages became extremely brief, to the point where they were fundamentally difficult to perceive; the Primordial and Myriad Phenomenon eras each lasted only a few solar years."
Only a few solar years? Zhao Xing couldn't help but frown; that meant it ended in just a few sunrises and sunsets.
"Being so brief, doesn't that also contradict the theory of the four cosmic realms?" Zhao Xing muttered to himself.
"The Yellow Extinction Realm is indeed a mystery," the Boundless True God also said with some emotion. "It is the largest world in the countless space-times of the universe."
"With such a massive volume, it should logically collapse very quickly, yet the extinction period can last for so long; it defies common sense."
"It is indeed incredible." Zhao Xing felt a surge of intense curiosity. As a Benwo Sect Si Nong, seeing such a great world, it was absolutely impossible to suppress his curiosity. "It must have suffered interference from some external force."
"Divine Venerable, have the various factions explored the Yellow Great World and discovered anything of note?"
The Boundless True God shook his head: "Opinions are divided, but there is no solid evidence or theory convincing enough to be believed."
"For example, a certain Medicine God wrote the 'Theory of the Cosmic Fetus,' which posits that before the birth of the universe, there existed an elusive 'cosmic placenta.' At that time, two world fetuses were gestating within it, both having the potential to become complete 'cosmic fetuses' and evolve into the most perfect Great Dao."
"The universe we inhabit killed its brother within the placenta, absorbed its nutrients, and became a complete and robust universe."
"The Yellow Great World was the discarded dead fetus, which is why its Primordial, Origin, and Myriad Phenomenon stages were extremely brief, leaving only the extinction stage."
"But because the Yellow Great World also possessed the potential to become a universe, it was able to maintain the extinction stage for a long time."
"Among countless theories, the Theory of the Cosmic Fetus is considered relatively less absurd; it has some basis, and quite a lot of people believe in it."
"Theory of the Cosmic Fetus?" Zhao Xing found it fresh. Every profession had its own set of perceptions about the universe, but this "Theory of the Cosmic Fetus" was destined to remain unprovable.
"Because the Yellow Great World is in a state of long-term extinction, natural disasters and cataclysms occur at every moment; life within it seems to be undergoing tribulation every single day," the Boundless True God said.
"This is an extremely dangerous place."
"Occasionally, extremely powerful lifeforms are born."
"Many people have also entered it, attempting to use it to attain the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth."
"Among them, the Si Nong Gods and Medicine Gods are the most numerous."
Zhao Xing was somewhat expectant: "Divine Venerable, has anyone succeeded?"
"No," the Boundless True God shook his head. "All failed."
"All failed?"
"Yes, I have also tried. The Yellow Great World possesses certain conditions for attaining the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and also possesses a foundation exceeding that of an ordinary great world. However, I ultimately discovered that success is impossible."
The Boundless True God reached out a finger, and time in the Yellow Great World began to flow forward.
From birth to destruction, it lasted for about 100 eras.
"One era is 1.2 million world-star years; the entire Yellow Great World lasted only 120 million years. This isn't even as long as the existence of some low-level world-stars."
"The disasters grow stronger time and again, and in the end, everything is destroyed; nothing can survive."
The Boundless True God sighed.
"In the Yellow Great World, some powerful lifeforms are naturally comparable to the human race's God Kings, but in the end, they cannot escape their shackles and are destroyed in the final wave of great destruction."
"No matter where they hide, no matter how far they hide, or even if they hide beside a God Emperor, as long as the great destruction occurs, all native life gestated by the Yellow Great World must die."
Zhao Xing felt a shock in his heart; the lifeforms gestated by the Yellow Great World were actually this strong.
And yet, even such strong existences could not escape the disaster of extinction.
"It is precisely because of the existence of the Yellow Great World that we have strengthened our determination to restart the universe," the Boundless True God said. "Going to the future—the future is the extinction period; there is no hope of restarting at all. Fleeing is even more foolish in the extreme; the Cosmic Ark is one such example."
Zhao Xing also understood how the god-level camp had split; it was because they had seen one example after another, making the divergence in their philosophies increasingly severe.
"Alright, you don't need to think too much about these things now," the Boundless True God said. "Focus on the present and solve the matter of that scoundrel first."
"You can find all known intelligence regarding the Yellow Great World in the Xuanji Mirror Wall."
"I will speed up the forging of your Natal Divine Weapon, striving for you to use it before you set off."
"Yes," Zhao Xing listened obediently.
The Boundless True God left immediately to forge the Natal Divine Weapon, which would require a tremendous amount of his energy.
Zhao Xing continued to look at the Xuanji Mirror Wall.
"Old Qing ran away back then and actually hid in the Extinction Realm."
"That makes sense; the Extinction Realm is a special place. Even without deep divine concealment, it is very difficult to find someone."
Life, causality, space-time, causality, destiny, the five elements, wind, and thunder—all Great Daos bow before the Great Dao of Destruction.
Suppose someone went to the Extinction Realm, whether inside or out, to deduce the existence of Qing Qing Yu Zi; no matter how they calculated, the result obtained would be:
Qing Qing Yu Zi is already dead.
"The Extinction Realm is a natural hiding spot."
Zhao Xing wanted to observe a war between Divine Generals, but on his own, it was impossible to keep up.
To avoid the pursuit of a God King, an ordinary Extinction Realm is not very safe. If it were the Yellow Extinction Realm, then let alone the subordinates of the Wushu God King, even if the Wushu God King came personally, there would be no way.
"I wonder if the place where he is trapped is in the Yellow Extinction Realm," Zhao Xing pondered.
Qing Qing Yu Zi once said that the place where he was trapped was similar to complete divine concealment, and he himself guessed that it was inside the corpse of a completely concealed God King.
Old Qing did not deny it, tacitly accepting his guess; it might very well be the Yellow Extinction Realm.
"However, the Boundless True God also said that I am going to close the loop for Qing Qing Yu Zi, so it might not necessarily be in the Yellow Extinction Realm, because the time points are different."
"I really don't know what's going on."
Zhao Xing shook his head; he studied the "Space-Time Theory" of the Real History faction, but he always felt a bit confused.
"If only I could ask Bowei, but he isn't making a sound now."
"Without relying on Bowei, if I can become a god as a Tian Shi Sect member, I can also use the Pole Star Origin as a springboard to contemplate the Great Dao of Time, and studying space-time theory would be much easier."
Of the magnificent Great Daos, the Dao of Space-Time is the most complex; book language is difficult to describe it completely clearly.
The best way is to become a God of Tian Shi yourself; this is better than asking Bowei.
"When I find Old Qing, I must ask him whether he is truly a Tian Shi Sect Si Nong God."
The reason Zhao Xing thought this way was mainly because of Old Qing's experiences.
In this reincarnation, he was a Tian Shi Sect Si Nong of the Zishen Prefecture.
Including the inheritance left behind in the Xuanhuang Realm back then, it was also a Tian Shi Sect technique.
When he became a god, he also condensed the Storm Divine Pattern.
Because at that time, the Tian Shi Sect's influence in the Xuanling Star Region was weak, and later he learned of the actions of the God King Gu Xiao, Zhao Xing naturally assumed that Qing Qing Yu Zi's true foundation was not a Tian Shi Si Nong God.
After all, one who can condense the Storm Divine Pattern is not necessarily a Tian Shi Sect Si Nong.
However, later Old Qing stole secrets from the Wushu God King's city and became a certain Divine General under the God King; this was definitely a Hou Hou Bian technique.
But later, he and Old Qing had a period of no contact, and he didn't go to investigate.
So what Qing Qing Yu Zi's true foundation was, he didn't know.
"Kong Que," Zhao Xing called out.
Whoosh~
The mechanical puppet Kong Que appeared immediately beside Zhao Xing.
"Si Nong Zhao, what are your orders?"
"I would like to ask a question."
"Please speak."
"Among the successive gods of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, are there any existences similar to the Tianwei Giant Beast?"
To know Qing Qing Yu Zi's foundation, one must clarify the foundation of the Dongyan Ancient God who was resurrected in the Huangyu Era, because Old Qing stole his divine power origin.
"Yes," Kong Que gave a positive answer. "The Dongyan Ancient Clan has seventy-four ancestors, six of whom were born in the early Great Xia period of the Bai Zhuoji Era."
"And eight others were gestated during a Grain Rain that lasted for a hundred million years."
"Good, I understand. You may withdraw now," Zhao Xing waved his hand.
"Yes," Kong Que left silently again.
Zhao Xing did not continue to ask; he was afraid that asking too much would affect Old Qing, but he was almost certain of some things.
In the time that followed, Zhao Xing waited quietly for the Boundless True God to forge the Natal Divine Weapon.
Sixty years after killing the Divine General Xu Feng, the Boundless True God reappeared, his face carrying a trace of a complex expression.
"Zhao Xing, I didn't expect that this treasure would become stronger the more it was forged, exceeding my plans."
"The Natal Divine Weapon still needs to be forged in reality within the mainstream of the river of time; even I cannot use time acceleration to speed up the progress."
Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised; he didn't expect such a thing.
"It's all the fault of that scoundrel Qing Qing Yu Zi!" the Boundless True God said, his face full of anger.
Zhao Xing was extremely puzzled; how could it be Old Qing's fault?
"If it weren't for him, you wouldn't need to go to the Yellow Extinction Realm, and I wouldn't have thought of using the 'Primordial Divine Wood' to accelerate the formation of your Natal Divine Weapon."
"Without the Primordial Divine Wood, there wouldn't have been any accidents, and it wouldn't need to be tempered in the main river of time."
"Although your Natal Divine Weapon is becoming stronger the more it is forged, my arrangements have now been disrupted because of this damn thing."
The Boundless True God appeared somewhat irritable: "You have to set off immediately because his time remnant shadow is about to disappear. If you don't go, you will very likely miss the time point to close the loop."
"If you cannot complete it, your Mingli Shadowless Art's second layer might be stuck for a lifetime."
"Without completing the second layer of divine concealment, the subsequent training plan I arranged for you will be full of danger."
"Having the pass from the Rui Emperor alone is not safe; only with the second layer of the Shadowless Art will you have sufficient protection."
"A tiny minor god, a beast of burden; his ability is not great, but the trouble he causes is endless. He truly deserves to be hacked into a thousand pieces."
"No wonder the Wushu God King wants to hunt down this beast. If it weren't for your sake, I would have wanted to issue a Space-Time Hunt Order!"
It was the first time Zhao Xing had seen the Boundless True God swear, and he couldn't help but click his tongue in secret.
Old Qing was truly awesome. Although he didn't know what twists and turns were involved, what kind of person was the Boundless True God?
He was now being made anxious by Old Qing.
"Divine Venerable, please calm your anger. Fortune and misfortune are interdependent; perhaps I can gain something from this trip," Zhao Xing said, unable to join the Boundless True God in cursing Old Qing, so he could only offer a word of comfort.
He remembered Old Qing saying that after he and he met, he did indeed encounter some trouble, but he also had great gains.
For example, the 【Inheritance Key】; he and Old Qing each had one, and he remembered that clearly.
The Boundless True God nodded and said: "Forget it. After you find him, remember to give him a good beating for me and say it was I who wanted to hit him."
"..." "Yes."
Another three years passed. On this day, Zhao Xing received the summons of the Boundless True God and arrived before the Zhongshan Throne.
At this time, beside the throne of the Boundless True God, an illusory white book was floating.
The Boundless True God was lowering his head and saying something to the white book.
A moment later, the cover of the white book faced Zhao Xing and split open like a mouth, opening and closing: "You know the rules, right?"
Zhao Xing nodded respectfully: "I swear with the heart of attaining the Dao: do not ask, do not know, do not remember, no cause, no effect."
The Youyou White Book is a divine object entrusted by a historian, usually a dharma image used by the Real History faction.
Although Zhao Xing and Qing Qing Yu Zi had a causal connection, because Qing Qing Yu Zi hid himself so well, Zhao Xing only had the clue of the time remnant shadow and could not directly rely on this bit of causality to find Qing Qing Yu Zi in the Yellow Extinction Realm.
To be safe, the Boundless True God invited a historian.
However, Zhao Xing did not know the other party's level, nor their name, nor where they came from.
This was done to ensure the level of divine concealment.
Zhao Xing must also forget about today's events afterwards.
"If there are no problems, then begin."
The Boundless True God waved his hand.
The Youyou White Book flew down, opened a page, and shrouded Zhao Xing's head.
"Yu"
A bronze river suddenly appeared before Zhao Xing's eyes; countless images of the space-time river flashed before his eyes, as if history had been traversed before his eyes.
However, Zhao Xing couldn't see clearly at all.
But soon, it slowly stopped.
"Causal guidance, time leaves a mark."
"Think carefully about the person you are looking for. Remember, do not know, do not ask, and do not remember anything unrelated to him."
"You will see the detailed situation. When you feel you can stop, then stop."
Zhao Xing nodded and began to follow the instructions.
Soon, the image of Qing Qing Yu Zi appeared before his eyes; the time was the late second era of the Huangyu Era.
Qing Qing Yu Zi took off from the Marquis Tian You Ancient Kingdom in a space-time ark and began to shuttle through space-time.
Zhao Xing understood that he was seeing Qing Qing Yu Zi's working life.
The speed of the light and shadow slowed down and gradually stopped. Soon, Zhao Xing substituted himself into Qing Qing Yu Zi's first-person perspective and appeared in a pitch-black well cave.
"Hmm? Where is Old Qing? Why does it feel like an ink well?"
Zhao Xing examined the surrounding environment; although it was somewhat blurry, he could roughly tell that this was a mine cave.
Similar to the ink wells on Penglai Island.
After Old Qing became a god and shuttled through space-time, could his first job be an Ink Well Protector?
Facts proved that Zhao Xing had guessed wrong.
"Slap!"
Suddenly, a divine whip lashed over, and the intense pain made Qing Qing Yu Zi curl up and roar:
"Stop, stop. I've already said I am not a Dili Sect Si Nong; why did I come to Yucan Mountain to mine—!"
"Simply blind! I should have gone to—(censored)"
"Ah—"
But the divine whip did not stop, lashing repeatedly until Qing Qing Yu Zi was on the verge of death before it finally stopped.
During this time, it kept mechanically repeating words about tasks, deadlines, and punishments.
Because the strong man from the Real History faction had said to let some things blur and not to deliberately remember them, Zhao Xing did not try to figure it out in detail.
In short, looking from this perspective, Qing Qing Yu Zi seemed to have run to a hostile force, was mistaken for a rogue cultivator, and then captured to mine in a certain area.
"How miserable, Old Qing; it's simply too heartbreaking," Zhao Xing said with a smile on his lips.
He waved his hand to signal the white book above his head to turn the page, skipping this experience.
He didn't know how much time had passed; when the perspective stabilized for the second time, the scene where Qing Qing Yu Zi was located had already changed to another place.
It was no longer a bright place, but a grassy field filled with birds and flowers, with rich spiritual energy.
"He ran away; did things get better?" Zhao Xing thought to himself, but then discovered that the perspective suddenly lowered; the grass on the ground began to move, and at the same time, chewing sounds were emitted.
At first, Zhao Xing didn't know what was going on, but when the perspective slowly moved to the riverside.
He saw the reflection of a green ox inside.
The green ox's eyes were somewhat dull, there was a demon-locking ring on its nose, and on the left side of its abdomen, a mark was branded.
It read: "Certain Demon-Controlling Divine Office."
"Pfft meow~"
Zhao Xing couldn't help but laugh out loud; the Boundless True God on the throne didn't know what had happened.
Why was he laughing?
Zhao Xing really couldn't help it.
It turned out that the green ox image he had seen from the time remnant shadow before was actually real.
Qing Qing Yu Zi used the Hou Hou Bian technique to turn into a Beast God, and then was captured by a certain evil god faction and taken back to be kept in captivity.
He thought Old Qing had gotten better, but he had just escaped the tiger's den only to enter the wolf's lair.
This was just too miserable.
Zhao Xing enjoyed watching Old Qing being kept in captivity for a while; this time, he didn't even have the ability to argue.
It could be seen that Qing Qing Yu Zi really wanted to say he was a human, not a real demon beast.
But after being beaten a few times, Qing Qing Yu Zi became honest and obediently waited for an opportunity.
"In the Five Emperors Era, the relationship between the demon race and the human race was very poor. Because the ancient god clan, who were natural gods, were very strong and naturally cruel, they cruelly suppressed or hunted the demon race."
"If they encountered certain black-hearted divine officials, even if they knew Old Qing was a human transformed by Hou Hou Bian, they probably wouldn't let him go, because that was merit."
Zhao Xing continued to watch, and about a few thousand years later.
Qing Qing Yu Zi, from a lamb waiting to be slaughtered, successfully escaped the fate of death—he became the mount of a certain Divine General.
As for who this Divine General was, Zhao Xing did not check; he only knew that he carried a sword and was dressed in the common attire of a martial artist.
As the perspective swept past many times, Old Qing appeared on a battlefield, charging into the fray with this martial arts Divine General.
"Skip."
Zhao Xing watched for a while and continued to let the white book slide along the causality first.
How much time had passed was already difficult to distinguish.
The sun rose and set on the white book; at least thirty solar years had passed.
Qing Qing Yu Zi was either an ox, a horse, or had his blood drawn, or turned into an elm tree to hide.
He kept moving from place to place, and there were very few times when he was stable.
Zhao Xing gradually couldn't bear to watch and quickly skipped the miserable parts.
It wasn't until the green ox's phantom turned back into a human that Zhao Xing called for a stop again.
The time remnant shadow became clear again.
Returning to human form, the location and environment where Qing Qing Yu Zi was located had also changed; he seemed to have left the previous faction and entered a new one.
His position was finally no longer that of an ox or horse mount, but he was sent to a place with sparse spiritual energy to manage the river channel.
He became a Si Nong official.
At this point, after thirty solar years and nearly thirty thousand star years, Qing Qing Yu Zi finally stood firm.
And this time, Zhao Xing also clearly knew the name of the faction where Old Qing was located—the Wushu Divine Domain.
"It really wasn't easy."
Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
Looking back at Qing Qing Yu Zi with his current perspective, Old Qing's cultivation talent was actually very mediocre. Even if he was lucky enough to become a god and obtain the origin of the Dongyan Ancient God, among the Divine General level, he could only be considered to have average or below-average potential.
It wasn't until he appeared in the Wushu Divine Domain and became a Si Nong divine official responsible for managing the void river channel that his destiny changed.
It seemed that having been the Marquis Tian You Kingdom Lord and having the experience of managing disasters in the Lisheng River, Qing Qing Yu Zi quickly began to stand out.
Shuttling to the Five Emperors Era, the more favorable cultivation environment also allowed Qing Qing Yu Zi's aptitude to begin to transform.
Zhao Xing discovered that Old Qing's cultivation speed was getting faster and faster. At first, it was very difficult for him to use spells to deal with divine-level natural disasters; he needed to cooperate with magic arrays,
use bestowed divine objects, and cooperate with colleagues to resist.
But three thousand years later, Qing Qing Yu Zi could solve it alone.
"In the Five Emperors Era, the origin of the Great Dao was thick, and the sensing of the Dao was clearer. Old Qing could make great progress with just a little reward."
"Like a desert that had been dry for a long time finally welcoming a sweet rain, his aptitude and destiny were changing significantly."
However, this rapid progress stopped before the Divine General barrier.
No matter how hard he tried, it seemed very difficult for Old Qing to stand out in the Wushu God King City.
Zhao Xing continued to slide, stopping before and after Old Qing became a Divine General.
"Hmm? How did Old Qing become a Divine General?"
"I clearly remember he had seven or eight competitors and had no possibility of becoming a Town Domain Divine Official. Why does he have the Xuantian Taishui Armor now?"
"Xuantian Taishui Armor, Town Domain Divine Official; this is the key position for Old Qing to become a Divine General. I don't know what happened to make him defeat the other competitors."
Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled. He really wanted to see it in detail, but suddenly remembered the white book's warning, so he could only suppress his curiosity.
For a long time afterwards, Qing Qing Yu Zi was a Town Domain Divine Official in the Wushu God King City, and his experiences didn't change much.
It was just that Qing Qing Yu Zi would occasionally go on a long trip, but he didn't know where he went.
During this period, Old Qing rarely fought, but once he fought, he always had gains.
Zhao Xing didn't know if he was killing people from the Wushu God King City or from hostile factions.
Turn the page, keep turning the page.
Soon, Zhao Xing saw the most important battle.
Qing Qing Yu Zi invited a Palace Divine General from the Wushu God King City to his mansion as a guest, drugged him with divine medicine, successfully transformed into the appearance of this Palace Divine General, and then entered the Wushu God King Palace.
"Yu~"
The fragments before his eyes became unstable and intermittent.
Zhao Xing saw Old Qing planting an elm tree in a certain garden.
He also saw him standing guard before the Brightness Hall of the Wushu God King.
And meeting privately with a certain god.
Zhao Xing kept turning the pages, and when the image stabilized, it was already when Qing Qing Yu Zi began his escape.
In the Yellow Extinction Realm, Qing Qing Yu Zi built a temple and wore a priest's outfit.
He was jumping back and forth before a fire tripod very anxiously.
He was also muttering to himself.
"Connect it quickly, connect it for me quickly!"
"This is my chance for Qing Qing Yu Zi to make a name for myself!"
The fire tripod was scorching and suffocating; Zhao Xing felt his vision blurring.
"Old Qing is crying from anxiety?"
"Or is it a spell backlash?"
He didn't know how much time had passed; it seemed there were gains, and Qing Qing Yu Zi jumped up happily. He shouted:
"Yes, yes, that's it, go tell Zhao Xing quickly!"
"Only he can understand what I mean!"
Zhao Xing suddenly realized that this scene was exactly when he received the message from the Zishen Prefecture Lord and the others.
And not long after, he realized from Qing Qing Yu Zi's hint the disaster of the History Book Worm natural disaster and the Era Worm disaster launched by the Evil God camp against the Empire and the demon race, as well as the major factions.
Rustle, keep turning the pages; Zhao Xing discovered that the scenes behind became extremely blurry, and the time remnant shadows attached to the causal line also slowly faded. Occasionally, he could see himself appearing in them.
"That's about it," Zhao Xing realized. "According to the Real History faction, from the moment Qing Qing Yu Zi appeared in the Yellow Extinction Realm,
I must participate."
"The causal line between him and me has appeared in a specific space-time entanglement, and the space-time river has appeared with a touch of black here, appearing with the 'snapping' and 'continuation' of reality and nothingness. If I don't go, both he and I will suffer strong backlash; in serious cases, it will even lead to space-time memory shock, or the whole person will disappear."
"To go is to carry out the space-time causal loop."
Shuttling through space-time is not without a price, but under normal circumstances, whether it is a demigod or a divine general, they all act according to the plans of experienced great gods, strictly carrying out actions.
It's not that you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want.
Qing Qing Yu Zi caused a big incident in the Wushu God King City; his behavior clearly had already deviated from the safety rules of space-time shuttling.
He himself was affected; one was that he shared the benefits from the things Old Qing did. Since he got the benefits, he must also bear some of the backlash when it comes.
The second was that Old Qing was later trapped, and by mistake, he passed the Space-Time Incense Art to his demigod self.
According to the Boundless True God, Qing Qing Yu Zi's ability is not great, but the things he does are very big; he is completely looking for death himself.
He doesn't need a hunt order; Qing Qing Yu Zi will be very unlucky later, and one day he will fall under the backlash.
"Stop!"
Zhao Xing ordered the white book to stop completely and not flow anymore.
"Here."
Zhao Xing pointed at a page in the white book.
"Are you sure?"
"I am sure."
Rip, a page was torn from the white book and drifted into Zhao Xing's hand, and the viewing ended.
"Boundless, the task is complete; I should go." The Youyou White Book said.
"Good, thank you for your hard work," the Boundless True God separated a thread and wrapped it around the book. "Whenever you are ordered, you will arrive."
The voice of the Youyou White Book finally had a trace of emotional change; he seemed quite happy: "Farewell~"
Whoosh~
The Youyou White Book drilled into the space-time channel and left the Divine Machine City.
The Boundless True God looked at the paper with river secrets in Zhao Xing's hand and then withdrew his gaze.
"Zhao Xing, now that you have seen the specific situation through the Youyou White Book, evaluate it yourself: is there any danger?"
"You must know that this time going to the Extinction Realm, I cannot send experts to protect you, nor can I accompany you, so as not to trigger greater accidents."
The Boundless True God was angry precisely because of this; the causal entanglement and space-time snapping caused by Qing Qing Yu Zi and Zhao Xing were not easy to interfere with. The variables here were too large, and he could only rely on Zhao Xing himself to close the loop.
If he, a True God, followed, it might have the opposite effect.
"Divine Venerable, I don't think there is a problem," Zhao Xing said in a deep voice. "That senior gave me a directional time page, and I can use it to jump directly into the Yellow Extinction Realm and arrive around Qing Qing Yu Zi."
"Finding him will be very easy."
"As for danger, I believe that as long as it is training, it will carry a little danger. Absolute safety is not called training," Zhao Xing said seriously.
The Boundless True God nodded; he naturally understood this principle, but he valued Zhao Xing too much and was instead overly worried.
"Divine Venerable," Zhao Xing took out a Dao book from his bosom. "This is a positioning spell from the Ten Directions Mountain Classic. The Mountain Opening Method is not yet perfect, but I have made new improvements to the Spirit Image Positioning Method over these past few thousand years—"
"Bang!" Just as he took it out, before he could finish speaking, the Boundless True God shattered it with a gloomy face.
"Zhao Xing, what do you take this god for!"
"Divine Venerable—" Zhao Xing suddenly realized that his show of loyalty seemed to have the opposite effect; he discovered that the Boundless True God seemed to be somewhat angry.
"Do you think this god saved you from the sea of bitterness for the sake of your Ten Directions Mountain Classic?"
"Do you think this god is worried that you will go to the Yellow Extinction Realm and never return, and is worried that I will never be able to get the Ten Directions Mountain Classic again?"
"It's simply a joke!"
"Divine Venerable, please calm your anger; I absolutely did not mean that," Zhao Xing immediately remedied, saying decisively: "The Ten Directions Mountain Classic is still a rough first draft; how could the Divine Venerable look upon it? I just thought that if there were an accident, at least it could be in the hands of someone worthy of trust."
"With the Divine Venerable's means, you will inevitably be able to cultivate another Si Nong to inherit this classic."
The Boundless True God's expression softened, but he still shook his head: "I already know your heart, but you don't need to do this."
"What I value is you as a person, not a classic book. Suppose there really is an accident as you said, I wouldn't even bother to ponder the Ten Directions Mountain Classic."
Seeing the change in the Boundless True God's tone and that he no longer referred to himself as "this god," Zhao Xing also felt relieved in his heart.
Actually, he didn't want to gain favor with the Boundless True God; he really regarded the Boundless True God as a like-minded Dao friend, which was why he had this act of entrusting the book. Who knew the Boundless True God would misunderstand.
Fortunately, the Boundless True God's heart was also boundless. Since it was clarified, he soon didn't take it to heart, and the topic returned to Qing Qing Yu Zi and the Yellow Extinction Realm.
"When do you plan to set off?" the Boundless True God asked.
"I see that Qing Qing Yu Zi is in danger, so the sooner I set off, the better," Zhao Xing said.
"Yu~" The Boundless True God opened a door inside the main hall, and a light blue vortex door flickered.
"Go. Once the Mingli Dharma Seal is completed, return as soon as possible," the Boundless True God instructed.
The completion of the Mingli Dharma Seal meant that both Zhao Xing and Qing Qing Yu Zi had escaped the space-time aftermath brought about by that major warning event.
"Yes," Zhao Xing took a deep breath, stepped into the space-time gate, and disappeared.
【You have arrived at the Star Emblem Era of the Luo Emperor Era, the fifth solar year.】
【You have descended into the Yellow Extinction Realm, Yi Divine Kingdom, outside Storm City, Earth Vein Coordinates, Tian Shi Coordinates (click to view details)】
"Yellow Extinction Realm, Yi Divine Kingdom, Storm City?"
Zhao Xing held the time page in his hand and sensed it carefully, discovering that Qing Qing Yu Zi seemed to be in the city.
"It really is a terrible environment," Zhao Xing looked up. The sky was a dark cloud layer, poison filled the sky, yellow sand danced, and mountain rocks and large trees were floating in the sky along with the tornado.
The earth under his feet was also unstable, constantly splitting and trembling. A mountain flashed before Zhao Xing's eyes.
But soon that mountain disappeared, and new mountain peaks appeared.
"Wind disaster, poison disaster, and continuous earth changes; the origins of other Great Daos have become weak, and only the Great Dao of Destruction has become extremely strong."
"I don't know how Old Qing is doing now. I vaguely feel that his state of mind is fluctuating greatly; could it be that he is in danger?"
Zhao Xing dared not delay and immediately flew in the direction of his sensing.
"So comfortable," in Storm City, in a magnificent and atmospheric pavilion, Qing Qing Yu Zi was lying in a soft cotton bed, covered by three layers of silk curtains, with beautiful women serving him.
One was feeding him wine, one was kneading his shoulders, and one was pounding his legs.
On the side without curtains was a floor-to-ceiling window. Outside, there was a stage where gorgeous colors were dancing in the sky, and divine goddess dancers were dancing gracefully.
"It's been a long time since I've been this relaxed. After hiding and dodging all the way, only now can I enjoy myself," Qing Qing Yu Zi lay in the beauty's arms and rubbed against her magnificent bosom, drawing the beauty's coquettish laughter.
Just as he had the thought of dual cultivation, a maid walked out from behind the screen and whispered softly: "Your Highness, there is a guest outside looking for you."
"Looking for me?" Qing Qing Yu Zi raised his head from the bosom, his face vigilant: "Who? Did he report his name?"
"Not yet, he only said one sentence: 'Zifu Earth Star, Chen Luo old friend'."
Qing Qing Yu Zi's expression shook: "Quick, invite him in."
"Yes."
Zhao Xing entered the door somewhat suspiciously. He had transformed into the appearance of Han Bing. When he found this private room, he was still a bit unsure if he had sensed it wrong.
The moment Zhao Xing walked into the private room, he was immediately certain that it was Qing Qing Yu Zi.
But when Zhao Xing saw Qing Qing Yu Zi surrounded by beauties, served with fine wine and food, and looked at the stage outside the window, Zhao Xing's face immediately collapsed.
"Sorry, I recognized the wrong person."
Zhao Xing turned and left.
Damn it, he had rushed over in a hurry, and this guy Qing Qing Yu Zi was actually indulging in a bed of pleasure?
Simply inhuman!
"Wait!" Qing Qing Yu Zi immediately ran over, grabbed Zhao Xing, and then turned to the maid: "You all go out first."
"Yes," the maid left the private room immediately.
The heavy magic arrays closed, and Qing Qing Yu Zi then said in surprise: "It really is you, but how did you appear here? Did you become a god?"
Zhao Xing looked at Qing Qing Yu Zi for a moment, and the anger in his heart dissipated.
Because at this time, Qing Qing Yu Zi was not the Qing Qing Yu Zi who was trapped in the God King's corpse and asking for his help.
That is to say, he didn't know anything about what happened later, so he was very surprised by his appearance.
"It's a long story," Zhao Xing sighed.
"Then sit down first and tell me slowly," Qing Qing Yu Zi invited Zhao Xing to sit down.
When Zhao Xing saw this luxurious layout and the stage outside, Zhao Xing still couldn't help but say: "Old Qing, aren't you running for your life? How do you still have the heart to enjoy these things?"
Qing Qing Yu Zi shook his head: "You've misunderstood me."
"I came to the Zhizhen Pavilion not for pleasure, but for important matters."
"What important matters? Tell me about it," Zhao Xing asked.
"It's a long story," Qing Qing Yu Zi was somewhat excited. "You don't know, a lot of things happened here."
"Tell me slowly," Zhao Xing smiled: "I happen to have many questions that I need you to answer."
Meeting again in a foreign land was already rare, not to mention in a different space-time; both were somewhat excited.
However, both quickly recovered. Qing Qing Yu Zi knew that Zhao Xing appeared here for a reason.
So he quickly started talking about business.
"You ask first," Qing Qing Yu Zi drank a cup of wine, seeming somewhat excited. He had done so many big things, and finally, there was someone he could confide in; he was already somewhat impatient.
"I want to know, was that Dongyan Ancient God back then a Tian Shi Giant Beast race?"
"Yes," Qing Qing Yu Zi nodded. "I am indeed a Tian Shi Si Nong God."
"Then your shuttling through space-time, was it instructed by someone?" Zhao Xing asked.
"It seems you guessed it too," Qing Qing Yu Zi smiled and nodded in admission. "Not bad, it's just as you thought."
"The existence of that Dongyan Ancient God was covered up by the Palace Lord."
"The resurrected Dongyan Ancient God became one of us after that time."
"And it was precisely because he was an undercover agent in the Wushu God King City that I was able to stir up trouble and successfully steal intelligence," Qing Qing Yu Zi said: "Of course, I won't mention his specific name."
Zhao Xing raised his cup to toast: "Even so, this is still an unprecedented feat. I toast you a cup!"
Qing Qing Yu Zi smiled, raised his cup, and drank it in one gulp.
After putting down the cup, Zhao Xing asked: "Then, did the Wushu God King City not discover that person's identity?"
Qing Qing Yu Zi shook his head: "The Palace Lord, as a God King of the History faction, holds the Xuanling History Book. It is very difficult for him to be found out if he wants to hide certain things."
"Even if the Wushu God King interrogated all the ancient gods of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, what he obtained might not be the truth."
"Unless he killed all the Dongyan Ancient Gods, that would be the only way to eliminate future trouble, but that would inevitably make the ancient clan cold-hearted."
"The Evil God preached in the Huangyu Era, and we found it difficult to stop them."
"Conversely, it is also difficult for us to prevent the invasion of certain factions."
Zhao Xing nodded; the Huangyu camp stood firm for a reason.
He had previously guessed that Old Qing and that Dongyan Ancient God were already some kind of arrangement by the Moon God Palace Lord back then.
Putting himself in their shoes, then Old Qing going to the past space-time to work, it was also likely executing some kind of plan.
Old Qing, a minor Divine General, was able to steal major secrets; without an inside man? I'm afraid that no matter how capable he was, it would be difficult to escape safely.
"Then, how did you come here?" Qing Qing Yu Zi asked curiously after putting down his wine cup.
"I am now a member of the Divine Machine City," Zhao Xing explained briefly.
"How high is your status?" Qing Qing Yu Zi asked. Zhao Xing must have also received a task similar to his and ran over to go undercover.
However, being able to go undercover for the Boundless True God, this starting point was much higher than his own.
"A bit high," Zhao Xing smiled: "I was sent here personally by the Boundless True God. The True God bestowed upon me a territory with three Alchemy Pavilions and countless rare beasts; just the Beast Gods used for experiments number 526."
"I won't say anything else."
"What?!" Qing Qing Yu Zi's wine cup fell, and he was stunned. "You're not joking?"
He guessed that Zhao Xing's starting point would be very high; after all, Zhao Xing's talent was very strong, far exceeding his own.
But he didn't expect him to be so highly valued.
Qing Qing Yu Zi suddenly felt that the fine wine didn't taste good anymore.
Damn it, he started as a beast of burden!!!
"Then, you, are you here to train in the Yellow Extinction Realm?" Qing Qing Yu Zi asked with difficulty. "Is there no task or manual labor you need to do?"
"You could say that," Zhao Xing nodded. "No."
"..." Qing Qing Yu Zi was speechless.
Comparing people really makes you want to die.
"No, how could you find me so accurately?" Qing Qing Yu Zi was somewhat puzzled.
"After I descended, I discovered your existence through causality, so I came looking for you," Zhao Xing did not say the real reason. Once he said it now, I'm afraid it would change some things, and then I'm afraid it would harm Qing Qing Yu Zi and himself.
"You and I really have a deep fate," Qing Qing Yu Zi sighed with emotion and picked up his wine cup. "To fate!"
"Cheers!" Zhao Xing also picked up his wine cup and drank it in one gulp.
Just like that, the two talked for a long time, and finally, they both completely confirmed each other's stance and achieved deep trust.
It wasn't until this time that Qing Qing Yu Zi talked about why he was enjoying the dance at the Zhizhen Pavilion in Storm City.
"Zhao Xing, don't think I'm the kind of person whose Dao heart is not firm and who is trapped in the red dust," Qing Qing Yu Zi pointed to the dance troupe outside the window. "See the dancer in the colorful clothes in the middle? She is Fairy Lianyin, a Divine General-level dance and music god!"
"Is she very powerful?" Zhao Xing asked.
"Not bad, she is powerful," Qing Qing Yu Zi said: "But I don't mean strength, I mean her connections are powerful."
"You also know that the Extinction Realm is a gathering place for many rogue cultivators. To avoid being hunted by enemies, many evil gods also hide here."
"Fairy Lianyin knows many secret pieces of information inside and outside the world in the Yellow Great World."
"It is rumored that behind her is a certain God King who is in divine concealment, just using her mouth to entertain the world."
"And as long as you can meet her once, you can get the information you want from her," Qing Qing Yu Zi waved his hand, and a divine power tower appeared in his palm.
Zhao Xing looked closely and saw that it was actually a full-level Divine General-level divine power tower.
Old Qing pushed gently, a passage appeared in the window, and the divine power tower disappeared.
"A Divine General-level divine power tower, you just tipped it to her like that?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised; Old Qing was really getting rich.
"As long as I can meet her once, it's completely worth it."
"Zhao Xing, you came at the right time," Qing Qing Yu Zi said while constantly taking out treasures. "I haven't been staying in the Yellow Great World for nothing; I encountered a great opportunity."
Qing Qing Yu Zi whispered: "This great opportunity was exchanged from the Xuanling Treasure Pavilion after I performed meritorious service, but now it is still missing some puzzle pieces."
"As long as I can collect these puzzle pieces, I can not only get rid of the trouble of being hunted but also obtain a super big treasure. You absolutely cannot imagine how big it is!"
"I can't imagine it, you just told me directly," Zhao Xing thought it was funny.
It seems that the Inheritance Key was obtained by Old Qing from the Yellow Great World.
"Brush brush brush brush~"
Qing Qing Yu Zi kept throwing out divine power towers; this was hard currency.
Now it was time for Fairy Lianyin to thank the guests, and it was also time for the audience to tip.
The window seemed like a screen, and a ranking list appeared. The names were hidden, but it could show the ranking of gifts sent.
Qing Qing Yu Zi kept sending gifts and was now in the top three. "The top three can meet Fairy Lianyin and obtain some information from her," Qing Qing Yu Zi explained: "If you miss this time,
you will have to wait another fifty thousand years."
"So exaggerated," Zhao Xing looked at the ranking list. At this time, the gifts sent by the top three had already reached a terrifying number.
Zhao Xing calculated that if converted into the contribution points of the Xuanling Treasure Pavilion, the top three had already tipped out 50 billion, and the first place had even exceeded 100 billion.
It was only the beginning now; the tipping session would last for a whole day!
"Old Qing is really rich," Zhao Xing felt that his gains were already big enough. After obtaining the inheritance from Divine General Penglai, he once possessed 600 billion contribution points, but he couldn't afford to play like this.
The great merit performed by Qing Qing Yu Zi seems to have been cashed in at some space-time.
Since Old Qing was so certain, Zhao Xing didn't say anything anymore and just watched quietly.
As gifts were sent out, gorgeous special effects would appear on the stage, and every time a big gift was sent, it would draw exclamations from the crowd.
"I have to say, it's actually quite interesting," Zhao Xing smiled. Fairy Lianyin was not a native lifeform of the Yellow Great World; she faced some desperadoes. If she stayed elsewhere, she would be selling information, and there wouldn't be such a scene.
By nightfall, the chase began to become more and more intense.
Qing Qing Yu Zi had been holding steady in third place, but the difference between him and the fourth place was not very big.
Occasionally he would be overtaken and fall to fourth, but Old Qing would immediately overtake him again.
"There's only half an hour left; Zhao Xing, do you want to play too?" Qing Qing Yu Zi handed over a world ring.
"Sure," Zhao Xing didn't refuse; sometimes it's not bad to have some entertainment.
In the last half hour, the fourth place stopped chasing points.
But a voice came from outside the door.
A maid reported: "Your Highnesses, a guest from the Divine Moon Hall requests an audience."
"Divine Moon Hall?" Zhao Xing was puzzled: "Who?"
Qing Qing Yu Zi smiled: "It should be the private room in fourth place; don't pay attention to him."
Zhao Xing nodded. It seems that the fourth place wanted to fight for this opportunity but didn't want to spend too much money.
In the last two quarters of an hour, someone came to ask again; it was no longer a maid, but two higher-ranking pavilion masters.
And they said: "Your Highness, the guest from the Divine Moon Hall took the initiative to report his identity; he is the grandson of the Xitian God King, 'Divine General Brother Qiongyu'."
"He said that if Your Highness is willing to concede, he is willing to send one hundred divine power towers to form a good relationship."
Qing Qing Yu Zi looked faintly at this pavilion master: "Tell the other party that this seat doesn't care whose grandson he is. If he has the ability, he can spend the money himself."
"In addition, I don't hope for a third time of reporting on his behalf."
The pavilion master's face changed slightly: "Yes, the Zhizhen Pavilion will never disturb you again."
After this deputy pavilion master left, Qing Qing Yu Zi said seriously: "We can't stay in the Zhizhen Pavilion for long."
"This guy was able to disturb me twice as a deputy pavilion master, proving that he might have exposed our tracks to the grandson of the Xitian God King."
"After seeing Fairy Lianyin, we have to run."
Zhao Xing nodded. Old Qing's vigilance was very high. This pavilion master shouldn't have come to report a second time according to the rules, but he still came; either he owed a favor to the fourth place and had to come, or he had taken benefits.
No matter which one it was, it was already breaking the rules, and it was likely he would break them again, so he had to be on guard.
"There's only half a quarter of an hour left; this Divine General Brother Qiongyu has significantly overtaken me," Qing Qing Yu Zi smiled. "However, I think that's all he has."
Qing Qing Yu Zi looked at the ranking list; he had fallen from third to fourth, but he was still calm and unhurried.
He slowly invested the treasures and soon overtook the other party, but only by a small margin.
"Hmph, competing with me in wealth," Qing Qing Yu Zi was full of spirit: "Little did he know that I am no longer what I used to be!"
"Overtake him for me!"
Clang, at the last moment, the bell rang.
The tipping session ended.
In the center of the stage, surrounded by gorgeous special effects, Fairy Lianyin smiled and thanked the four directions.
"Lianyin thanks everyone for your love~"
"My gratitude is hard to express in words; Lianyin will have an encore dance later to express my gratitude."
Cheers came, and Zhao Xing withdrew his gaze, just looking at the ranking list.
Finally, the ranking list was fixed, and Qing Qing Yu Zi was ranked third.
As for fourth place, he was slightly behind Qing Qing Yu Zi.
He had no chance to meet Fairy Lianyin.
"Done," Qing Qing Yu Zi clapped his hands, a smile appearing on his face.
