Chapter 643

【Time Divine Tree】

【Type: Space-Time Species (Unique)】

【Quality: God King Level】

【Status: Adult Stage】

【Innate Divine Skill (Active): Time Stasis: The Time Divine Tree can briefly root itself in the River of Time, causing it to come to a complete standstill.】

【Innate Divine Skill (Passive): Source Root Realm: The roots of the Time Divine Tree can absorb the source of small worlds to grow.】

【Innate Divine Skill (Active): Time Reversal: The Time Divine Tree can reverse the same space-time up to ten times.】

【Innate Divine Skill (Active): Time Acceleration: Can create time multiplier differences in different regions, up to five thousand times.】

【Lifespan: Indefinite】

When Zhao Xing received the data on the Time Divine Tree, he was overjoyed.

"After absorbing the Zhou Abyss, you actually reached the God King level and have four innate divine skills? And you've only just reached adulthood."

"Father God is truly amazing, knowing my situation at a glance," the girl looked at Zhao Xing with admiration.

She hadn't even spoken, yet Father God already knew her growth status.

"Little Ai?" Zhao Xing glanced at General General Huali.

"I'm sorry, after her spirit was complete, I was overjoyed and took the liberty of giving her this nickname. It should have been you who named her—" General General Huali was a bit embarrassed; she had snatched Zhao Xing's naming rights.

"Please don't say that, I should be thanking you," Zhao Xing said quickly.

Since General General Huali had followed him, she had always been in his internal world, first helping him pass the Battle God trial, and then taking on the responsibility of caring for the native species—a proper nursemaid general.

"I didn't expect you to take such good care of her." Zhao Xing had been raising the Time Divine Tree in a free-range manner, throwing good things in whenever he had them, regardless of whether the Time Divine Tree could handle them.

It was mainly General General Huali who did the sorting and tiered feeding; most of the auxiliary secret arts of the Self-School were also cast by her.

"Being able to see the birth of a Time Species is also my honor; I am very happy to do it," General General Huali said with a kind smile.

After thanking her, Zhao Xing continued to ask: "Plant life usually has four stages: seedling (seed stage), growth stage, adult stage, and peak stage."

"Little Ai reached the God King realm in her adult stage; will she become a Dao Lord level being in her peak stage, mastering a Great Dao?"

The Time Divine Tree was only in its adult stage, meaning its growth hadn't reached its limit.

But Zhao Xing had never heard of a Dao Lord-level plant life.

"I'm not sure either," General General Huali shook her head. "Little Ai's foundation is miraculous, and she devoured the Zhou Abyss; perhaps it's really possible."

"It seems that the branch of the World Divine Mother Tree in the Forest of the Universe played a big role in her growth."

"Will the Time Divine Tree master the Time Dao? Or the Life Dao?"

"It depends on her fortune," General General Huali said, her eyes filled with anticipation.

The Time Divine Tree now possessed four major innate divine skills: Time Reversal, Time Stasis, Source Root Realm, and Time Acceleration.

After absorbing the Zhou Abyss, she underwent some incredible changes.

This also exceeded the scope of General General Huali's understanding.

"The Zhou Abyss was only one of the nine major branches of the World Divine Mother Tree. If absorbing one branch causes such a Roc Roc Roc Roc Change, what if I could devour the Mother Tree itself—" this thought flashed through Zhao Xing's mind.

However, he suppressed the fantasy for the time being; God King Xiang Wu Xin was still blocking the way outside, so he had to resolve this crisis first.

"Little Ai, come with me to battle." Zhao Xing decided to test the waters with God King Xiang Wu Xin.

How strong the Time Divine Tree was couldn't be seen from paper data; only a fight would tell, and God King Xiang Wu Xin was just the right whetstone.

"Yes, Father God!" Ai was also eager to try. After her spirit was born complete, she had learned a lot of knowledge about the outside world from General General Huali.

Knowing that many enemies were jealous of Father God's talent, she had long wanted to go out and help.

On the desolate star, God King Xiang Wu Xin unleashed his second unique skill, "Blood Spirit Sound."

He attacked from three levels: the Dao of Causality, the Dao of the Soul, and life blood energy.

This method was created by him by fusing his own innate talents.

It could shake the enemy's soul, control the enemy's causality, and manipulate the other party's life blood energy, thereby controlling their behavior.

In his life, God King Xiang Wu Xin had only secretly used "Blood Spirit Sound" five times; every time he played it, his Xiang Wu Xin God King City gained another guest elder.

Among the five guest elders, three were God Kings and one was a True God General. The outside world thought the guest elders were like-minded, but in reality, it was all thanks to the Blood Spirit Sound!

"Zheng~"

God King Xiang Wu Xin plucked the strings for a variation, the music roaring urgently like a waterfall crashing against rocks, beginning to shake Zhao Xing's physical body.

He had already completed the first movement, which was the resonance between the zither sound and the soul; this was why Zhao Xing had been unable to leave.

Now he was shaking Zhao Xing's divine body, but this divine body was quite perfect, like an indestructible city wall. He had already repeated the "Blood Sound" four times, each time more powerful than the last, yet he was unable to achieve the desired effect.

"What a perfect three-source divine body; four movements of the Blood Sound, and it still won't shake," a strange look flashed in God King Xiang Wu Xin's eyes.

Yet the more this was the case, the more excited he became.

If he could take down Zhao Xing, it would absolutely be the greatest achievement of his life.

"Danglang~"

God King Xiang Wu Xin pressed down with both hands, performing the fifth movement.

At this moment, his skin was blood-red, and strands of bright red patterns crawled onto his cheeks like earthworms, forming a bizarre pattern.

He was about to reach his limit; if he couldn't take down Zhao Xing's divine body by the fifth time, he himself would be severely injured by the sixth movement.

After taking down Zhao Xing, he still had to avoid other searchers, and being severely injured was not a result he wanted to see.

However, after the fifth movement, Zhao Xing suddenly opened his eyes.

He opened his palm, and a crisp female voice came from within, carrying space-time to push all the notes back.

"So noisy!"

God King Xiang Wu Xin's pupils shrank, and with a tearing sound, his tight suit burst open, revealing skin full of power.

"Pa~"

A zither string suddenly snapped, whipping back against his chest.

"Puchi~~~"

Two bloodstains appeared on his body.

God King Xiang Wu Xin couldn't care about his injuries; he immediately gave up playing, his divine body exerted force to fly off the desolate star, his arms expanded, and his giant claws drew a perfect trajectory, grabbing toward Zhao Xing.

Two blood swords emerged from within his skin, arriving a step earlier to block Zhao Xing's escape route.

But the next moment—

"Weng~"

His vision blurred suddenly, and God King Xiang Wu Xin found himself back on the peak of the desolate star.

"Time Reversal?"

A look of intense shock flashed in God King Xiang Wu Xin's eyes.

He was a high-level God King, and his divine power and divine patterns had already been imprinted in the Dao of the Source; to become a Dao Lord, this was the only path.

As a high-level God King, once this step was completed, the Dao of Space-Time in the region where he was located became incredibly heavy, making reversal extremely difficult.

If Time Reversal was playing on a seesaw, God King Xiang Wu Xin, sitting on the other end, was an eight-hundred-pound fat man; to pry him up, one either had to have a higher realm or a stronger technique.

"Puchi~"

The zither string snapped, and God King Xiang Wu Xin experienced the backlash of the fifth movement once again.

His original injuries remained, but the backlash appeared again.

"How is this possible?"

Another bloodstain appeared on God King Xiang Wu Xin's body; his perfect divine body was like a porcelain vase, but now two cracks had opened up.

"Whoosh~"

God King Xiang Wu Xin rushed out of the desolate star again, but quickly returned to the starting point.

"Puchi~"

A third bloodstain appeared.

Zhao Xing was far away, observing with his Heaven-Piercing Divine Eyes, and found God King Xiang Wu Xin jumping and landing repeatedly, which was quite comical.

This process repeated six times; after six times, God King Xiang Wu Xin had become a blurry blood-man, with many blood mists exploding from his divine body.

"The power of the Time Divine Tree is too strong." Zhao Xing clicked his tongue secretly.

Just now he only saw Little Ai run out and wave her hands six times, and then he broke free from God King Xiang Wu Xin's control.

Immediately after, the space-time around the desolate star underwent a directional reversal, and God King Xiang Wu Xin was whipped by his own technique six times.

He himself had already run far away, while God King Xiang Wu Xin was still twitching there.

"Father God, how did I do?" Little Ai raised her face, full of pride.

"Very good," Zhao Xing praised.

"Father God, this enemy is too fragile," Ai said with a smile. "He doesn't understand the Dao of Space-Time at all; to think he could be controlled by me six times in a row."

"If it were a high-level God King who understood the Space-Time Dao, they could break free from my directional reversal on the second time, and I would have to use my second innate divine skill to suppress them."

Time Reversal isn't necessarily used for resurrection; it can also create space-time traps, making enemies cycle endlessly in a dangerous space-time.

The enemy's own state won't recover, but the danger will repeat endlessly; this is the terrifying aspect of space-time spells.

Little Ai's innate divine skill, capable of reversing ten times, had already broken the common sense of the universe.

God King Xiang Wu Xin could only be passively beaten in the trap created by the Time Divine Tree.

"Finally escaped."

At this time, the Water-Moon Star Pass was already within the observation range of the Heaven-Piercing Divine Eyes.

Coupled with Little Ai completing her evolution and the assistance of the Time Divine Tree, his strength had greatly increased; logically, his luck should have recovered.

But why hadn't it recovered yet?

"Surely there can't be another expert, right?"

Zhao Xing's heart felt heavy.

He already had Little Ai, yet his luck still couldn't recover; what other danger could there be?

"Dang~"

While pondering, Zhao Xing suddenly felt a pain in his divine body, as if he had crashed into an iron plate.

This collision left him dizzy, and when he recovered, he found that there was indeed a wall in front of him.

"Not a wall—it's a sacrificial divine tablet." Zhao Xing's heart sank to the bottom.

A square sacrificial divine tablet emerged abruptly from the void layer and expanded rapidly.

The relief on its surface depicted a map; as it expanded, the patterns on the map became clearer.

Mountains, oceans, forests, cities, altars, towers, nebulae, and star lands—after expanding to a certain extent, Zhao Xing saw clearly that this was a star map.

The King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian Star Map.

Besides the star map, there was also a cold figure on the relief, a human silhouette composed of mountains and rivers.

It was none other than God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian.

"Dang~"

Zhao Xing, retreating instinctively, crashed into another wall.

It was also a sacrificial divine tablet, still the King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian Star Map, but the layout was different, the terrain appearing was different, and the human figure formed was also different.

"Dang~"

Another sacrificial divine tablet shook the starry sky, standing across the third direction.

"Dang dang dang~"

A total of seven sacrificial divine tablets and one altar, like an octagonal cage, trapped Zhao Xing in the void.

"Seven sacrificial divine tablets, corresponding to the seven God Kings of King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian."

Among the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian had no Dao Lords, only nine God Kings, seven of whom were Priest Gods, the highest heavens of the priests.

Back then, God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian's grandson went to battle with a feather priest, with seven feathers stuck in his head, representing the seven King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian Gods he worshipped.

The seven God Kings were of the same lineage but different factions; they had the same ancestor, but they were no longer one family.

In the Feather Emperor era, the priests' authority was partially taken away by the Agronomists; their actual relationship was no longer very close, and they would occasionally fight internally, but they would act in unison on major issues.

The strongest could be named King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian; in fact, there had been multiple God Kings named King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian in history.

The God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian who had fought God King Wuliang before and was now intercepting Zhao Xing was named "Hou Hong."

When God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian's divine essence clone appeared, the Luck Golden Dragon in Zhao Xing's life palace let out a whimper and became illusory and transparent.

At the same time, the Three Luck level on his panel jumped violently, dropping to the first rank, and remained motionless.

"Only the first rank of Three Luck remains—"

Zhao Xing felt cold in his heart.

This was almost a certain death omen.

Hou Hong's figure appeared in the divine tablet cage; he scanned Zhao Xing coldly, his gaze landing on the other party's life-bound divine weapon and straw doll.

A flash of killing intent crossed his eyes; Hou Hong had the urge to kill Zhao Xing right then and there.

The Wuliang Divine Machine was built using a part of his sacrificial artifact, and the straw doll method triggered unbearable memories of his past.

The decline of the priests was entirely due to the struggle for power with the Agronomists.

In the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands, which ruler of a region hadn't become a Dao Lord?

Yet in their King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian, after the Agronomists offered a plan, seven God Kings were created, mutually restraining each other, making it hard for anyone to become a Dao Lord.

Zhao Xing fished away the Ten Directions Battle Order, and Hou Hong wasn't angry; battles always had winners and losers.

But seeing the straw doll method and the Wuliang Divine Machine, Hou Hong's inner fire was hard to suppress.

"Father God, he is too strong—I cannot reverse it," Little Ai's voice was strained.

She stood in Zhao Xing's palm, unleashing her three major innate divine skills, but it only slowed the closing speed of the seven divine tablets, which was simply not enough for Zhao Xing to escape.

The seven divine tablets used by God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian had a huge range, starting from deep within the distant void layer.

To reverse it, one would have to go back at least a day, which exceeded the ability of the Time Divine Tree.

"It's okay, Ai," Zhao Xing said calmly. "You've already done your best."

Among the five God Kings, God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian was undoubtedly the strongest; he was a God King who had one foot in the Dao Lord realm.

The containment ability of the seven divine tablets also exceeded imagination, actually suppressing even the Three Luck to this extent.

Only the first rank left? Zhao Xing had never encountered such a thing before.

"Weng~"

Space-time shook; seeing the seven divine tablets unable to close completely, God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian's anger decreased slightly.

Zhao Xing had experienced multiple interceptions, escaping the two trials of God King King Bai Pang Pang Pang Pang Yuan and God King Xiang Wu Xin, and actually still had a trump card to stop his seven divine tablets from descending; this was simply the template of a heaven-favored child, otherwise how could he have so many treasures?

Killing a Three Luck God King stronger than Rui Chen Chen Chen Chen Chen Xuan would have backlash.

God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian suppressed his urge and gave Zhao Xing a choice:

"Swear allegiance, or die."

In the thatched cottage by the Baiqian River.

When God Phase Xiang Wu Xin saw God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian giving Zhao Xing a choice, he showed a smile.

This scene was in the process he had deduced, and the facts happened just as he had deduced.

"Sha sha~"

God Phase Xiang Wu Xin reached out, a bamboo slip appearing in his left hand and a carving knife in his right.

【Agronomist God Zhao Xing helplessly chose to submit, following God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian back to the King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian God City of the Luo Emperor era. The three surviving Dragon God Kings were too late, the Longxuan City eventually fell, the Dragon Ancestor was hindered by the Imperial Order and could only watch God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian leave, while Dao Lord Zuming worked in vain and ended up with nothing—】

God Phase Xiang Wu Xin held the carving knife, writing every word slowly.

Arranging the gains and losses of the gods was arranging their fate; even if it was just a small experience, the Dao Lords and God Kings might not have much actual loss, but it still shook their fate.

He could get great feedback from it!

Every time there was such an experience, the Fate Master's abilities in all aspects would be enhanced, until finally, they could completely control causality.

The Great Dao of Fate!

The first goal of the Ten Phase Gods was to enter the Dao Lord realm and become the master of the Ten Directions Mountain.

The ultimate goal was to calculate all things in the universe, calculating everything and determining everything.

Calculating where the vitality of the universe lay.

"My junior brother's technique has regressed."

God Phase Xiang Wu Xin looked at the Book of Fate; he had already carved halfway, the text solid and unchanged, very smooth.

"To let me win a round just like that."

God Phase Xiang Wu Xin finished carving all the words and planned to set off to wait in the King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian God City of the Luo Emperor era.

He still had a few months to spend with Zhao Xing; this was the deal between God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian and him.

【Agronomist God Zhao Xing helplessly chose to submit, following God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian back to the King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian God City of the Luo Emperor era. The three surviving Dragon God Kings were too late, the Longxuan City eventually fell, the Dragon Ancestor was hindered by the Imperial Order and could only watch God King King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian leave, while Dao Lord Zuming worked in vain and ended up with nothing, and I will successfully arrive at the King Xi Marquis Marquis Marquis Marquis Tian God City of the Luo Emperor era to complete the deal.】

In the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, Ji Si picked up a blank Dao book from the hexagram plate; at this moment, text slowly appeared on the Dao book.

Old Man Venerable Chu Ji and the Hemp-Clad God Phase stood on the left and right of Ji Si, also seeing the content.

"Hmph, Xiang Wu Xin is actually preparing to leave; he is still so arrogant," Old Man Venerable Chu Ji complained. "Senior Brother, he might be laughing at me; Ji Si didn't resist at all, he must think I've become weak, allowing him to successfully complete the fixed outcome."

The Hemp-Clad God Phase glanced at Venerable Chu Ji without a word.

This guy had bad intentions; speaking out now was to remind Xiang Wu Xin that the game wasn't over and that he had been tricked.

But Venerable Chu Ji didn't know the mystery of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror; all heavenly secrets here couldn't be leaked, so he didn't care.

"Sha sha~"

Ji Si picked up the Dao book, shook it gently, threw it into a hexagram plate, and then flames began to burn.

The hexagram fire burned fiercely, and soon the font lost its divine charm and became ordinary.

"This is a Divine Hexagram? That's not right," Old Man Venerable Chu Ji was puzzled. "Senior Brother, why is your Divine Hexagram different?"

True causes don't fear the fire; the Divine Fire Hexagram tempers true fruits.

Once the Fate Master's layout is complete, the Divine Fire Hexagram method can be used to verify whether every part of the fixed fate outcome will truly happen.

Venerable Chu Ji and Hemp-Clad both had the Divine Fire Hexagram, but Xiang Wu Xin didn't, because some inheritances of the Ten Phase Gods overlapped, while others didn't.

"It's not what I taught," the Hemp-Clad God Phase finally spoke, and Venerable Chu Ji heard a hint of pride.

Not taught by Senior Brother?

Could it be that this kid created it himself?

Old Man Venerable Chu Ji pinched his fingers in his sleeves, looking at Ji Si with surprise a moment later.

"How many years has the Ten Phase Gate been inherited? Not a word can be added, not a word can be subtracted; can he Roc Roc Roc Roc Change it?"

"No, this is a technique created by combining the phase inheritances."

Old Man Venerable Chu Ji guessed right; Ji Si cultivated both Fate and History.

The Divine Fire Hexagram method combined with the Historian's techniques to create the "Divine Fire True-False Hexagram."

The bamboo slip in God Phase Xiang Wu Xin's hand had become a fake bamboo book!

The ending part of the fixed fate outcome he wrote had all become illusions, impossible to come true.

Old Man Venerable Chu Ji soon realized something. "My joint effort with Senior Brother gave him an opportunity to control a large-scale divine war."

"Once Ji Si stole God Phase Xiang Wu Xin's power of fixed fate, there was no Fate Master who was Ji Si's opponent."

"Now the power to determine the outcome of the war between the enemy and us all belongs to this kid."

Old Man Venerable Chu Ji was suddenly worried; being able to seize such an opportunity was also Ji Si's ability.

When they go up to the Ten Directions Mountain, his disciple facing Ji Si would be a grim situation.

Ji Si didn't care what Old Man Venerable Chu Ji thought, but began to write the endings for the wars in various parts of the Longxuan territory.

"The three surviving Dragon Gods joined forces to kill the Fierce Gold God; the other four from the Seven Domains Heaven Mountain arrived, but only managed to snatch back the hope of resurrection for the Fierce Gold God King."

"The Blood-Cause River launched by the Xiang Wu Xin God City failed to land on Longxuan City; the space difference in the Five Void Ravine caused it to reverse, only because the Great Agronomist reversed the logic of the Five Elements Desolate Domain, expanding the place of his enlightenment and causing the backflow of the Blood-Cause River."

"In the Xiang Wu Xin God City, all divine soldiers and generals were unable to jump out of the River of Time; the sword cultivators and the three sects were plagued by void memories and killed each other; the final survivors—"

Ji Si's hand paused, as if something was binding the words he was about to write.

However, Ji Si still pressed down with the carving knife and wrote four words: 【Less than one-tenth】.

"Weng~"

Old Man Venerable Chu Ji felt hair falling from before his eyes and almost didn't laugh.

The hexagram position he stood in was the Lianshan Hexagram Array of the Hemp-Clad God Phase's faction, the bearer of causality.

Simply put: Ji Si determines the outcome, and he and Senior Brother bear the causality.

Ji Si wrote that less than one-tenth of the people in Xiang Wu Xin God City would die; this was an extreme consequence. For fate to complete this mutual slaughter, Old Man Venerable Chu Ji would have to sacrifice at least eight hundred epochs of lifespan.

"Why are you leaving? Is it not possible?" The Hemp-Clad God Phase looked faintly at Venerable Chu Ji's feet.

"Senior Brother, you are a vessel spirit, you have no lifespan to speak of, but I still have a physical body," Old Man Venerable Chu Ji withdrew his steps helplessly. "If he plays like this, isn't he taking my life?"

"Relax, you won't die," the Hemp-Clad God Phase said. "Rules are rules. You won't die on our watch."

After Ji Si finished writing, he began to arrange the next battlefield:

"In the seven war bases of the Ningta God Kingdom, Long Haijiang and Di Fuzi rebelled on the spot; these two were the strongest Agronomist Gods of the Ning Kingdom, long dissatisfied with the Ningta God Lord, they rebelled and raised a banner, with everyone responding; Teng Shanjiang and Pang Pang Pang Pang Yuan Hongjiang followed immediately, digging open the Baiqian River."

"The official Fang Zixu of the Royal Clan riverway was powerless to save the situation and was the first to be drowned by the Bairen River; the Marshal Ying You army was the first to undergo large-scale worm-mutation, with ninety percent of the troops turning into a group of worms—"

Pa!

Hair fell to the ground, making a sound.

Old Man Venerable Chu Ji was worried; this wasn't just hair falling, it was life falling.

Finally, Ji Si wrote about Zhao Xing.

Venerable Chu Ji felt relieved, because Ji Si only wrote one sentence and didn't arrange the details.

If it were controlled to the details, the causality would be huge, the Great Dao of Fate would need to fluctuate in a large area, and it would be more detailed; all these backlashes needed a landing point.

But he couldn't see that sentence clearly.

What the hell?

I, a dignified Ten Phase God, have actually become dim-sighted?

"Ji Si, you, you damn—what exactly did you write—" Old Man Venerable Chu Ji's skin withered rapidly, like an old man about to die, and he fell to the ground.

Ji Si closed the Dao book and threw it into the Divine Hexagram to be tempered.

The Dao book was undamaged, and the handwriting became even more real, flashing with golden light.

True causes don't fear the fire; the Divine Fire Hexagram determines true fruits.

Ji Si showed a satisfied smile, turned around, helped Old Man Venerable Chu Ji up, and brought him to the Divine Fire Hexagram.

"Junior Uncle, please look."

I saw only one sentence about Zhao Xing.

【Seven Divine Tablets Void Domain, Mount Mount Minggu Mountain appears.】

"You beast, you beast, to actually use my life to accelerate Zhao Xing's enlightenment—ugh ah~"

Old Man Venerable Chu Ji cursed, but before he could finish, he couldn't catch his breath, his eyes went black, and he fainted.
