Vientiane Throne of Civilization

Chapter 1689 Unable to Escape the Fate of Overtime
Unsurprisingly, with the mindset of never putting all your eggs in one basket, the past self provides the coordinates for the next location in this 'wisdom of inheritance'.

Besides that, there's a lot of 'programming knowledge'.

There was a lot of content that Zhou Xu was interested in. For example, with his Out-of-Body Realm strength and the right amount of mantras, he could already create some low-level 'classes'.

Of course, this section contains a vast amount of information, and it would be difficult to read it all in a short time, let alone understand or even master it.

Let's categorize and organize it for now, and digest it slowly later.

While organizing his knowledge, Zhou Xu gradually recovered. He supported himself with his hands and sat up. After confirming that he was alright, he activated the teleportation array and left the secret room.

Back inside the palace, Zhou Xu didn't rush to study the statue of King Zhou in front of him.

He's been out for a while now, and he'll definitely take the statue back to study this week.

Otherwise, if we were to finish the research here, how long would it take? It might take until next year.

He didn't care, but Charman would definitely miss him.

Upon leaving the palace, Zhou Xu immediately instructed his personal guards, who were waiting outside, to remove the statue of King Zhou.

After that, Zhou Xu did not leave immediately, but went to visit Huo Qubing, who was now the governor of the Saint Laurent region.

After all, Saint Laurent City is right next door. We've come this far, it would be a shame not to go.

In comparison, Zhou Xu was too lazy to make a trip to the Void Border.

Besides the long distance, there was no point in him going; it would just be a complete waste of time.

"Your humble servant Huo Qubing greets Your Majesty!"

It had been almost a year since I last saw Zhou Xu, and seeing him now felt especially warm and familiar.

As the governor of the Saint Laurent region, Huo Qubing now resides and works in what was originally the capital castle of the Saint Laurent Empire.

"Your office conditions are pretty good."

“These were all left over from the original Saint Laurent Empire era, they’re readily available, which saves a lot of trouble.”

At this moment, Zhou Xu was touring what was formerly Charman's government office while chatting and reminiscing with Huo Qubing.

However, just as they were talking, Zhou Xu, who had just turned around, saw Huo Qubing stuff a stack of documents into his hands.

"Huh? What's this?"

"The document was originally intended to be sent back to Black Moon City for His Majesty's personal approval."

After saying that, Huo Qubing smiled and raised his hand, his meaning was already very clear.

Since Your Majesty is already here, there's no need to bother sending these documents back. You can just approve them here and be done with it.

Good heavens, even though he's not in the Hall of Diligent Governance, he still couldn't escape the fate of approving documents.

"You kid..."

After taking the document, Zhou Xu chuckled and cursed, but didn't say anything more, and simply sat down and started flipping through it.

After approving the documents, the two had dinner together and rested for another night. The next morning, Zhou Xu quickly slipped away, afraid that if he was too slow, Huo Qubing would drag him to work overtime again.

Compared to the hurried arrival, Zhou Xu simply had a carriage prepared for the return journey.

Although his movement efficiency was somewhat slower, he could still digest the knowledge in his mind while sitting in the carriage, which was a two-pronged approach.

Taking this into account, the overall efficiency actually increases.

By the time his carriage arrived at their camp on the northeastern border, it was late winter or early spring.
"Has Jarvit's trial ended?"

There are also female warriors stationed at the camps on the northeastern border. Zhou Xu asked about it as soon as he arrived.

"Your Majesty, the Queen completed her trial a week ago and is currently in Mystila City."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Xu immediately understood. This was a tacit understanding between the two, saving them from having to make another trip.

The carriage changed course and headed straight for the city of Mistiela.

By the time they arrived in Mystila, it was already quite dark.

Zhou Xu met his wife, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, in the castle.

"You've made a breakthrough."

Zhou Xu stated this conclusion with unusual certainty; in his perception, Yarvet's level was no longer what it used to be.

Upon hearing this, Yarvit smiled smugly, casually extending a finger. Instantly, streaks of electricity began to dance and swirl around her fingertip.

Yarvit has a lightning-attribute constitution, so when she releases her true energy, the form she takes is also like lightning.

Before she turned one hundred, she had successfully cultivated to the Realm of Horizontal and Vertical. As far as she knew, since the destruction of the old civilization, no female warrior other than herself had ever done so!
Zhou Xu was mentally prepared for Jarvitt's breakthrough, but even so, when it was all actually right in front of him, Zhou Xu still couldn't help but feel a surge of joy.

"What other gains were made?"

"Her original rank has been upgraded to 'Female Warrior Legion Commander'."

Zhou Xu suddenly felt that this trial hall was indeed quite good. It operated automatically. Once you had enough strength, you would go and take the trial. If you succeeded, you would be granted a rank and given rewards, and you could also improve your strength along the way.

It can be said that it directly created a complete upgrade system for the female warrior race.

The only problem is that after the damage, the female warrior race's path to advancement was also largely paralyzed.

However, once I have the ability to do so in the future, I might consider getting one; it seems like it would save me a lot of trouble.

As the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder, and this night was destined to be anything but peaceful.

After her breakthrough, Yarvit's combat power became even stronger, making the battle even more intense.

I slept until noon the next day before I recovered.

"With this kind of show of force, are you planning to have another one?"

As their strength increases, in addition to reproductive isolation from weaker creatures, the probability of them having offspring also decreases as their strength grows.

This point is mentioned in 'The Wisdom of Heritage'.

It's not because of any invisible laws binding them, according to what's mentioned in 'the wisdom of inheritance'.

Cultivation itself is a process of continuous self-evolution, in which your own genes will be constantly improved.

Those who reach the pinnacle of cultivation can generally achieve immortality.

For apex creatures of this level, offspring are unnecessary; in fact, the very existence of offspring would be a flaw.

However, flaws will be gradually eliminated as strength increases.

This directly results in the stronger an entity being, the lower its probability of having offspring.

However, once offspring are born, they will surely be extraordinary beings!

Following this line of thought, Zhou Xu couldn't help but recall the child who had beaten the old Dragon King. That must have been his son; he wondered how he was doing now...

Thinking about this, Zhou Xu felt a little melancholy.
