Protagonist:
Xu Zhangqing
That day, Xu Zhangqing received a notification.
The ruler of the Endless Star Domain, namely the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds.
The other party personally brought several top experts and arrived at the Beidou Xianfu.
Therefore, he had no choice but to give up fishing and instead head to Tian Shu Xing.
After waiting for him, he casually found a corner and sat down just like that.
This spot was neither beside Baili Hong and the other First Personal Disciples at the Combined Body stage, nor near the door where Elders whose status was insufficient could only stand.
"Speaking of which, the last time I entered... was when Master was preaching the Dao!"
"Who knows what the situation is this time?"
"The Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, this is a ruler who can stand shoulder to shoulder with Master!"
Xu Zhangqing had not set foot in this great hall for many years; last time he came, his seat was up front, and he couldn't hide even if he wanted to.
This time was different; with the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds personally arriving, the seating arrangements were completely thrown into chaos.
Many of the front seats were given to high-level cultivators from the Endless Star Domain side.
This time, not many people came from the Endless Star Domain, but every one of them was a formidable character.
On the left was Venerable Fuxiao.
A female cultivator.
Her actual age was indiscernible, but her appearance always remained at thirty years old.
A head of black hair hung down to her waist, never tied up, left to fall loose.
Her eyebrows and eyes were clear and cold, neither angry nor smiling.
Her lips were extremely thin, with the corners of her mouth perpetually bearing a faint, barely-there curve.
Therefore, for a moment one could not tell whether this person was sorrowful or indifferent.
Her pupils were not like those of ordinary people; amber-colored, with golden patterns in the whites of her eyes.
She wore a plain white feather cloak, the cloak surface without buttons or seams, lightly draped over her shoulders.
Beside Venerable Fuxiao was the Supreme Sage.
He was a male cultivator.
His figure was burly, every muscle like ancient bronze repeatedly tempered, lines distinct but not overly exaggerated.
His actual age was likewise indiscernible, with the appearance of about forty or fifty years old.
High cheekbones, extremely deep brow bones.
Eye sockets slightly sunken, dark red light flickering in his pupils.
The remaining few were equally formidable.
Each had restrained breath, not leaking a drop.
As for the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds, Xu Zhangqing couldn't help but look over.
The other party had no true form or appearance.
The previous second, he was still an old man with white hair.
The next second, he suddenly became a short child.
Then came a general, a scholar, a flying bird.
The only thing unchanging was that pair of eyes; deep in the pupils there was no color, only endless star rivers flowing silently.
If one were to say, the Dao Venerable was an immovable anchor in the river of time.
Then the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds was stardust scattered by the wind, everywhere yet impossible to grasp.
If Xu Zhangqing remembered correctly, the Dao Venerable controlled time, and the Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds controlled space.
Strangely... the Endless Star Domain was the first to fall.
On the Beidou Xianfu side, the lineup was equally not weak.
The Nine Extremes Heavenly King stood to the right of the Dao Venerable, currently meditating with eyes closed.
The Qixing Star Lord was positioned a bit further out.
His figure was not burly, even slightly thin and emaciated.
He wore a dark red suit of armor, holding a blood-red lone lamp in his hand.
Speaking of which, this was Xu Zhangqing's first time seeing this person.
As the Lord of Tian Quan Xing, the supreme commander of the Xuntian Si and the Star Guard Army.
The other party had always been busy, truly a case of the dragon showing its head but not its tail.
Since the First Direct Disciple Zhen Yuanzi was not present, then the Third Direct Disciple Baili Hong was the Chief Alchemist for this occasion.
At this moment, he had put aside his usual joking and laughing, his expression much more solemn.
Suddenly, the Dao Venerable spoke: "The situation in the Endless Star Domain, you all have already seen.
The speed of the Red Tide's advance is at least three hundred years faster than expected.
The scope of infiltration is constantly expanding outward.
Now the Four Directions Star Domain, the outer perimeter of the Chaos Sea, and even the Zhen Kong Chong Chao have all been corrupted to varying degrees.
The Lord of Ten Thousand Worlds has personally come this time to discuss countermeasures."
"Discuss countermeasures?"
"The True Lord of Myriad Worlds is the Boundary Realm Sovereign, yet he cannot even solve this?"
"Looks like the situation is even worse than we imagined!"
Hearing this, everyone immediately began discussing animatedly.
Many among them looked at the Endless Star Domain cultivators with a hint of scrutiny.
After all, the Endless Star Domain was far larger than the Floating World Four Domains and the Northern Dipper Xianfu, clearly possessing a huge advantage and vast forces, yet it still could not hold out.
The cultivators of the Endless Star Domain all had rather grim expressions.
Yet they could not lash out, only silently enduring.
The Great Dao Venerable explained: "The reason the Endless Star Domain was first infiltrated by the Lord of Red Clothes lies in karma."
"You must remember, the essence of the Lord of Red Clothes is not destruction, but twisting."
"Every karmic thread is a channel through which it can invade."
"The more people there are, the more tangled the karmic threads become."
"The Endless Star Domain accumulated an astronomical amount of karmic entanglement, and after being infiltrated by the Lord of Red Clothes for nearly ten thousand years, it became the red tide you see now."
As soon as these words were spoken, the great hall fell silent for three breaths.
Everyone present had high cultivation; the vast majority had long guessed that some connection existed between the karmic threads and the Lord of Red Clothes' infiltration, but this was the first time the Great Dao Venerable had personally confirmed it.
Xu Zhangqing looked for a while, then withdrew his gaze.
This matter had little to do with him.
Whether the Endless Star Domain was chaotic or not was something the True Lord of Myriad Worlds and the Great Dao Venerable should worry about.
So he remained silent on this topic from beginning to end.
Yet trouble came knocking on its own.
Just then, the True Lord of Myriad Worlds suddenly spoke, and the space within the entire great hall twisted in an instant: "Xu Zhangqing!"
Everyone's gaze in the hall converged on the same direction.
The Venerable of Dawn turned his head.
The Holy Sage tilted his head.
The others were full of curiosity.
"Me?"
Xu Zhangqing was stunned for a moment, then stood up: "True Lord!"
The True Lord of Myriad Worlds continued: "The Power of Creation is currently the only force capable of offsetting the Lord of Red Clothes on the level of karma."
Xu Zhangqing quickly waved his hand: "I am only at the Void Refinement Stage, my cultivation is too low, I absolutely cannot be a match for the Lord of Red Clothes!"
Baili Hong and others nodded: "Indeed."
Outside, the Void Refinement Stage counts as a top expert.
But here, or rather at a higher level, the Void Refinement Stage counts for nothing.
At least one must be at the Union Stage, or even the Mahayana Stage, to have the courage to face the Lord of Red Clothes.
The True Lord of Myriad Worlds said lightly: "Rest assured, I am not sending you to the front line."
"But I intend to use the Power of Creation to refine a Supreme Treasure of Creation."
"Looking across the Zhutian Wan Jie, only you can do it!"
"I see!"
After hearing this, Xu Zhangqing understood, but did not immediately agree; instead, he looked toward the Great Dao Venerable.
After all, the person who truly made the decision was not himself at all.
As long as Master disagreed, he could not agree.
The Great Dao Venerable nodded slightly: "Qing'er, it's fine!"
"Good, Disciple understands."
Xu Zhangqing bowed to the Great Dao Venerable and the True Lord of Myriad Worlds respectively, then sat back down.
At the same time, he felt a gaze.
That gaze was very familiar.
Xu Ping'an sat at the last seat, his expression now quite complex.
He had fought on the front line for nearly a hundred years.
Leading people, he had reclaimed thirteen fallen Star Domains from the red tide.
He had given everything.
Yet in the end, the True Lord of Myriad Worlds did not remember his name.
Instead, his father, who had done nothing, was named by the True Lord of Myriad Worlds!
