Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

The myriad heavens and worlds had long since been changed by that great war.

Xu Zhangqing fell silent for a long time after listening.

So it turned out that those things he had thought were his talent were actually gifts from the God Path Fragment.

"Disciple understands."

"Anything else you want to ask?"

"No more!"

The Grand Dao Venerable nodded slightly and said nothing further.

Xu Zhangqing did not ask further either, and soon withdrew from the grand hall.

He transformed into a streak of light and flew toward the direction of the Spirit Plant Bureau.

Inside the grand hall, it was silent and solemn.

The Nine Extremes Heavenly King said seriously: "This child, his karmic blessings are too deep.

From Spirit Transformation to Void Refinement, he traversed a path that would take others several lifetimes to complete.

The Time Gap, the Return to Ruins Dragon Tomb — which one is not a heaven-shaking opportunity?

Yet he, well, he stumbled into all of them."

To this, the Grand Dao Venerable said slowly: "I have seen him in the past."

Upon hearing this, a trace of shock that could not be concealed flashed in the depths of the Nine Extremes Heavenly King's gaze.

The past spoken of by the other party was not a few years ago, not a few decades ago, not a few hundred years ago.

You must know, the Grand Dao Venerable can command the River of Time.

Therefore, he exists in the past, exists in the present, and even exists in the future.

……

……

Xu Zhangqing, alone, returned to the Spirit Plant Bureau.

In the Fifth-Grade Spirit Field, the He Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower, Nine-Revolution Star Grass, Star Core Purple Chen Seed, Rift Universe Star Pupil Flower, and other rare spirit plants were exactly the same as when he left.

He stood at the field's edge, his Divine Sense sweeping over every spirit plant.

The He Tianhe Moon Marrow Flower looked the same as before, lacking the Time Closed Loop to ripen it.

The Nine-Revolution Star Grass's growth momentum, however, was even more robust than before departure.

The Star Heart Grass's purification efficiency had already reached six times the Early Stage.

The Ten Thousand Calamities Star Marrow Wood's root system had again burrowed one zhang deeper into the earth's depths.

The starlight in the Spirit Field had become dense to the extreme at this moment.

It could be said that everything was developing in a good direction.

However, if they were all moved into the God Nation, the situation would be different.

The God Nation has the Blessing of Many Sons Much Fortune, and the Three Spirit Holy Tree's three-system laws.

All spirit plants within the God Nation automatically have their yield doubled and growth time halved.

A bonus of this level is something no spirit field, no spirit vein, no Spirit Gathering Array in the outside world could possibly provide.

"Let's give it a try."

Xu Zhangqing thought it over and prepared to move the spirit plants, roots and soil together, into the God Nation.

Just at this time, a voice without any warning resounded in the skies above Yu Heng Xing.

"From today forth, Xu Zhangqing shall assume the post of Yu Heng Xing Zhu!"

The Grand Dao Venerable's voice, or rather his verbal decree, resounded.

There was no preamble, no solicitation of opinion.

Xu Zhangqing had just crouched down; hearing this, he froze for a moment.

Yu Heng Xing.

The resource hub of the Beidou Qixing.

The location of all spirit plant cultivation, pill refinement, and celestial phenomenon control for the entire Beidou Xianfu.

The Spirit Plant Bureau manages all spirit field cultivation and solar term allocation.

The Pill Cauldron Bureau monopolizes pill refinement and controls distribution.

The Wind Thunder Bureau wields celestial phenomenon control, summoning rain and thunder, and heavenly tribulation punishment.

The three bureaus each perform their duties, jointly supporting the Beidou Xianfu's massive resource system.

The Yu Heng Xing's Star Lord is the Highest Coordinator of the three bureaus.

The Beidou Qixing, each star has its own Star Lord.

And those able to serve as Star Lord are either direct disciples of Baili Hong's caliber, or old monsters with transcendent cultivation realms.

Xu Zhangqing joined less than twenty years ago, yet he actually became a Star Lord?

The Grand Dao Venerable's verbal decree left who knows how many people speechless!

Not long after, a group of people arrived outside the array.

The three leaders were respectively the Spirit Plant Bureau Director Lu Yan, the Pill Cauldron Bureau Director Fang Wei, and the Wind Thunder Bureau Director Zhao Jiu.

Behind the three Si Zhengs, each was followed by their respective Vice Si Zhengs, Elders, and Stewards.

A dense crowd of people came striding toward the Bamboo Hut in a mighty procession.

When they reached the area outside the Spiritual Array, the three Si Zhengs bowed with clasped hands, the Elders bent at the waist to salute, and the Stewards behind them knelt on one knee.

Lu Yan spoke first: "Ling Zhi Si Si Zheng Lu Yan, paying respects to the Star Lord."

Fang Wei followed closely: "Dan Ding Si Si Zheng Fang Wei, paying respects to the Star Lord."

Zhao Jiu's voice was deep and forceful: "Feng Lei Si Si Zheng Zhao Jiu, paying respects to the Star Lord."

"Paying respects to the Star Lord!"

"Paying respects to the Star Lord!!"

"Paying respects to the Star Lord!!!"

The remaining Elders and Stewards shouted even louder.

Xu Changqing looked at the scene before him, remaining relatively calm in his heart: "Everyone, no need for such ceremony. Although I am the Star Lord, the Ling Zhi Si is still decided by Lu Si Zheng."

The daily operations of the three Si will continue as before.

What should be planted will be planted, what should be refined will be refined, what should be rained and thundered will be rained and thundered.

If there are major events requiring dispatch, come find me again."

Hearing this, the three exchanged glances.

Lu Yan nodded slightly; he and Xu Changqing were already on friendly terms and knew this person was not the type to put on airs as soon as he took office.

Fang Wei visibly breathed a sigh of relief.

Between the Dan Ding Si and the Ling Zhi Si, there had long been friction over pill distribution, and what he feared most was that the new Star Lord would wield a great saber and make sweeping changes as soon as he arrived.

Zhao Jiu had no particular reaction and appeared the most calm.

Soon, the first batch of items for the Star Lord's inauguration arrived.

The first item was the Star Lord's ceremonial robe.

The fabric was woven from Ice Silkworm Silk mixed with star-glow crystal dust, presenting a flowing texture under the starlight.

On the chest of the robe, star crystals unique to Yu Heng were inlaid to form the pattern of the Beidou Qixing; the position of the Yu Heng Xing was slightly larger, while the other six stars were scattered in distribution.

The second item was the Yu Heng Star Seal.

Fist-sized, pure white throughout.

The surface bore naturally formed star-ray patterns, each one inhaling and exhaling starlight on its own.

The third item was the cultivation method paired with the Star Seal; there were two volumes.

The first volume was called "Yuheng Star Art."

After cultivating it, one could use the star-glow of the Yu Heng Xing to temper the Shen Guo; the stronger the cultivation level, the more power could be drawn from the Yu Heng Xing.

The second volume was called "Zhoutian Star Dou Array Chart."

Using the entire Beidou Star Domain as the Array Base, it linked the seven stars into a single whole.

Power between the stars could be transferred to one another, leaving no blind spots.

This array required seven Star Lords to operate together to unleash its greatest power.

The fourth item was a palm-sized Token.

The front of the Token was engraved with the Star Map of Yu Heng Xing, and the back was engraved with the contour of an immortal palace.

It was a spatial Magic Treasure; although its current size was not large, once activated, a Yu Heng Xing Gong would appear.

The Star Palace was mainly built of white jade, decorated with Star Fragments.

It had three layers, each with its own independent law structure.

The bottom layer had load-bearing pillars cast from primordial star liquid; the middle layer had important areas such as the Dan Fang, Quiet Rooms, and Treasure Vault arranged in a row; the top layer was the exclusive cultivation place of the Star Palace's master.

On the dome at the very center was embedded a natural Star Core capable of drawing the power of Yu Heng Xing; once the Star Palace flew into the Star Sky, this Star Core would automatically open the dome and project the source light pillar of the entire Yu Heng Xing downward.

After the three Si Zhengs left with their respective attendants, someone else arrived.

Sun Bu Er was a subordinate of Zhen Yuanzi; he delivered a Jin Box to Xu Changqing and then said with a smiling face: "Xu Disciple, this is a congratulatory gift sent by the Master."

Xu Changqing opened it and saw a Time Dao Bead lying inside.

Its surface flowed with the unique sand-light halo of time laws, and inside there was a Spiritual Mark.

This was not a crack, but a time scale sealed in advance by Zhen Yuanzi.

The effect of the Time Dao Bead was the same as the Time Dao Seal; at critical moments, it could reverse time.

The difference was that the Time Dao Seal could only be used once, while this Time Dao Bead could be used three times and could be replenished through time!
