Chapter 506 Boundless Evil God? True God? (15,000 words)

Fu Jin wanted to admit defeat and asked Xin Yue to find the causal link between Zhao Xing and him.

However, after waiting for a day, he discovered that Xin Yue couldn't find Zhao Xing's causal connection at all.

Zhao Xing, on the other side, also learned of this through Ji Si and couldn't help but laugh.

"Admit defeat?"

"This guy still wants to save face. He's even willing to admit defeat, yet he refuses to pay a visit in person."

"I've made such a big move, but he won't even show his face. No rush, don't contact him."

Even if he comes to our door in person, we should let him cool off for a while.

Having fought this far in the battle of cause and effect, Zhao Xing could be said to have victory in his grasp, because he also understood a principle: although the Great Zhou was weaker in terms of foundation than the Carlos family.

However, he himself had a better chance of breaking through to the divine realm than the demigods of the Carlos family.

For those in the Divine Realm, only those of the same level are allies, and only those worthy of concern.

Neither the priest Carlos nor his three remaining sons had much hope of becoming gods.

Based on this premise, when it comes to declaring war on the Carlos family, the gods don't need to think about who they prefer; they can simply vote with their feet.

"The assistance we received this time, both domestically and internationally, far exceeds the assistance we received during our previous forced resistance."

“Ji Si, carefully sense this great trend. Opportunities for a causal battle of this scale are rare.” Zhao Xing looked at Ji Si.

He had high hopes for Ji Si!

Even from the beginning, he was willing to share most of the spoils with the rest of his allies.

Zhao Xing didn't care about short-term gains at all. As long as he could win, Ji Si could level up, and that was the biggest reward!

If a divine master of destiny were to stand by my side in the future, that would be better than anything else.

Of course, it's not that simple for a Fate Master to become a god. This battle of cause and effect cannot make Ji Si a god unless it involves the entire Xuanling Starfield, or even a battle with the participation of gods, in which Ji Si plays an important role. Only then is there any hope.

However, letting Ji Si experience a similar war in advance is a great benefit.

"Yes." Ji Si nodded. He also understood that he would gain a great advantage in this war.

“However, since the Carlos family wants to concede, it means this war is almost over.” Zhao Xing pondered, “You should come up with the best exploitation plan and show it to the teachers.”

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I've already thought it through." Ji Si immediately took out a plan from her sleeve.

"For this declaration of war, the Great Zhou has mobilized far more manpower, material resources, and financial resources than it can handle. If the Grand Minister of Agriculture is to become a god, he cannot afford to have too many karmic entanglements."

"So, of the assets received from the Carlos family, eighty percent were distributed to repay this debt of gratitude."

"As for the Great Zhou itself, taking 20% ​​of the Carlos family's assets is enough, mainly the share of overseas territories and businesses."

Those who do not plan for the long term are not fit to plan for the short term; those who do not plan for the whole are not fit to plan for a part. Zhao Xing nodded. Ji Si's considerations showed his broad vision.

Furthermore, it did not deviate from the original plan, which was that the Great Zhou would establish a new dynasty on the site of the ancient Yuanhai Kingdom. Instead of spending time accepting Carlos's fixed territory within the empire, it would be better to just do business, as the future prospects and potential would be far greater than the current benefits.

"Brother Zhao." Just then, a flame-shaped avatar of cause and effect emerged from the Hall of the Mind and quickly came to Zhao Xing's side.

"Captain, what's the matter?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Fu Jin has arrived at the Wuye constellation in the Beihe system, bringing with him many boundary ships," Yang Baihe said. "However, he was stopped at Beihe Pass."

"They stopped them?" Zhao Xing asked in surprise. "Who stopped them?"

Just as Yang Baihe was reporting, a short avatar of cause and effect appeared. He was none other than Yang Lin, the lord of the Beihe Star System.

The Five Poisons couldn't help but laugh: "Yang Lin, it was you who stopped us."

Lord Yang Lin of the Northern River immediately bowed respectfully: "Greetings, Venerable Five Elements, Venerable Chen An, Venerable Ji..."

"Alright, Yang Lin, stop with the formalities and get to the point."

"Yes, I stopped Fu Jin, and he's waiting at Beihe Pass now."

"Hahaha, you've got some nerve," Wudu laughed. "You're just a Fourth Tribulation Emperor, yet you dare to stop Fu Jin. Aren't you afraid Fu Jin will kill you? Where do you get your courage?"

Yang Lin calmly replied, "That courage was given to me by you gentlemen. Although I am not as good as Fu Jin, I cannot disgrace your reputation."

Zhao Xing also smiled. This is how you beat a dog when it's down. Even Yang Lin dared to keep a demigod like Fu Jin outside the Beihe Star System.

In fact, Yang Lin was not the first to stop Fu Jin. Fu Jin had been stopped once by Jing Yan, who was even bolder, in the Beiye Star System.

Jingyan was only a Fourth Tribulation Emperor, yet he still managed to deal with the others clearly. What was Yang Lin afraid of?

"Did you check them? He brought so many ships, they couldn't all be warships, could they?" the Five Poisons Venerable asked.

He didn't believe Fu Jin was so stupid as to use force after being warned, and to risk a fight to the death.

"They're not warships, they're all cargo airships, filled with valuable goods such as World Stones, top-grade Dao Soldier materials, Boundary Stones, Five Emperor Coins, and so on," Yang Lin said.

……

Beihe Pass is a river pass built between galaxies, relying on the void river.

At this time, a large number of the Carlos family's ships were docked at the cargo terminal for inspection.

All the Carlos family members were dejected, and even when faced with the servants' mockery and harassment, they could only pretend not to see it.

They were like a defeated nation paying tribute to a victorious nation, facing all sorts of difficulties and interrogations along the way.

Even Fu Jin, who is clearly a demigod, dared not speak up when faced with difficulties from those weaker than him, and could only endure it.

He had to endure it. Jingyan and Zhaoxing had been friends through thick and thin, and the Lord of Beihe had been kind to Zhaoxing. He had come to beg for mercy and admit defeat.

"This is outrageous! In the past, these people wouldn't have even received a second glance from my Carlos family, but now they dare to be so arrogant." Iping walked into the ship's hall with eyes blazing with anger. "They've already checked me more than ten times, but they still won't let me through."

Fu Jin remained seated, playing the zither, his expression calm, though his demeanor was somewhat aloof.

"Brother, how can you still be in the mood to play the zither?" Yi Ping sat down sullenly and took a big gulp of wine.

Once upon a time, the Carlos family was the people outside, with countless enemies and rivals falling to their blades and majesty.

Now it's the other way around, and this feeling is really unpleasant.

"Second brother, just treat this as a process of tempering your heart," Fu Jin said calmly. "If you don't want to face it, you don't have to come. Since you're here, then endure it."

"I..." Yi Ping opened his mouth, but was unable to refute it. He could only mutter a few words to himself: "Broken family to cultivate the mind... It's really amazing that my elder brother could come up with this. So many years of accumulation..."

……

Fu Jin and his group were left stranded at He Guan for three whole months. During those three months, almost the entire empire and most of the star field paid attention to this place, knowing that the Carlos family had come to beg for mercy.

Three months later, Zhao Xing finally allowed the Carlos family to enter the North River system.

“Venerable Chen’an, we three brothers have come to apologize.” Fu Jin led his two younger brothers into a makeshift hall. The hall was extremely simple, and the three of them even had to suppress their sacred bodies to become very small in order to find a place to stand.

Upon entering, the three of them bowed respectfully towards the steps leading up to them.

“If you want to apologize, you should apologize to the Emperor of Great Zhou.” Ji Si stared coldly at the three of them.

Besides him and Zhao Xing, Emperor Wu Ji Che was also present. Emperor Wu originally did not want to come, believing that it would be a more equal dialogue if Zhao Xing and Ji Si were to come forward.

However, Zhao Xing and Ji Si said, "The Carlos family is like a stray dog ​​now, so what's the point of talking about right or wrong?"

Thus, Emperor Wu Ji Che sat in the main seat, with Zhao Xing and Ji Si standing on either side.

Looking at the once aloof demigod now bowing his head, Ji Che couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions and a great sense of satisfaction.

How many years has it been? Only today does he feel like a true emperor in the universe!

The feeling of living on thin ice and constantly on edge is finally a thing of the past!

Emperor Wu was only at the level of an emperor, and he had not even survived a single tribulation. This was because the cultivation of the Qi Dynasty had reached a bottleneck.

Bowing to Emperor Wu was an absolute humiliation, but the three of them still obediently bowed to Emperor Wu once again.

"Speak, how do you intend to apologize?" Emperor Wu asked calmly.

“Your Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou,” Fu Jin explained, “The Carlos family has been established for many years. My father has basically not been involved in worldly affairs. My two younger brothers, Zhai Bing and Yu Mu, have always been responsible for wilderness development and the management of overseas territories. My father had already made arrangements for the division of the family among us long ago.”

“We were completely unaware of what they were doing to Da Zhou. They kept all of this from me and my father.”

A hint of disdain appeared on Emperor Wu's lips.

The advantage of the classic family dynamic is that it's like being one family; if something goes wrong, the family splits up.

"They launched their commercial offensive without authorization. When we found out, we stopped them immediately. My father also severely punished them, forbidding them from participating in the operation of any ancient road..."

“Now that Zhai Bing is dead and Yu Mu is imprisoned, they both deserve their fate. Of course, this is still due to the lack of discipline in my Carlos family and my own failure as an elder brother. I am here to make amends.”

"I hope this gift will earn the understanding of Chen and His Majesty the Emperor of Great Zhou."

Then Fu Jindu presented a list containing a large number of treasures. In addition to the shiploads of treasures contributed by the Carlos family, there were also a large number of territory handover documents.

All that talk is nonsense; only the present moment matters.

"Whoosh!" A flash of lightning appeared in Ji Che's eyes, and he immediately tore the list to shreds.

"Fu Jin, I've listened to your nonsense for so long, and now you're finally saying something useful."

"However, since you are going to apologize, how you do it is not up to you."

Emperor Wu waved his hand, and a new list appeared in front of Fu Jin.

“Fu Jin, don’t say that the Great Zhou doesn’t give your Carlos family a way out.”

“If we accept this list of territorial cessions and reparations, the war can end.”

"If you don't agree, then Great Zhou will go and get it themselves. It will just take a little more time, understand?"

Having said that, Emperor Wu stopped looking at the two men, flicked his sleeves, and turned to leave.

Zhao Xing smiled inwardly. Emperor Wu had been suppressing his feelings for too long, and now that he had a chance to show off, he really nailed the imperial aura.

But the three Fu brothers were dumbfounded, because the gift list that the Great Zhou gave them was a treaty that humiliated and ceded their rights.

The Great Zhou demanded that the Carlos family contribute all their wealth, leaving less than one-thousandth to maintain the daily operation of the territory.

As for their territories, they were granted a portion of the boundary star continents outside their ancestral star system. All other private territories had to be handed over to the Great Zhou. Furthermore, any Carlos family members holding public office in the Empire, except for the three of them and Priest Carlos (who were not required to hold such positions), had to resign within a very short period of time.

The key point is that the Great Zhou only gave them two and a half years to do this.

"This, this..." Yi Ping and Yi Le, the two demigods, were so angry that they trembled all over. As for Fu Jin, even though his Dao heart was strong, his face was extremely ugly at this moment.

Such a demand is tantamount to trying to completely drain the Carlos family, leaving them only scraps to barely survive.

Apart from those few demigods, it can be said that the rest of the Carlos family has no future to speak of.

“Zhao…” Yi Ping and Yi Le wanted to say something, but were stopped by Fu Jin’s gaze. Then he said with some helplessness:
"Venerable Chen'an, could you allow us to retain all the star systems of our ancestral land? After all, this is the foundation of our people's survival..."

“Fu Jin, I have already given you a sliver of hope,” Zhao Xing said coldly. “At least you are still alive, while the families you dealt with using the same methods have long since disappeared.”

"Take the list and get out of here."

"Don't even think about playing tricks, or you know the consequences."

After saying this, Zhao Xing and Ji Si returned to the inner palace.

A dignified demigod arrived without a guide and left without a farewell, leaving behind a large amount of treasures loaded on his boundary ship, and thus slunk away in disgrace.

The ancestral home of the Carlos family, the Carlos system.

Fu Jin and the other two returned to the main hall of the ancestral land.

"Brother, are we really going to accept this outcome?" Yi Ping looked at the family elites waiting outside for the negotiation results, and seemed to see expectant eyes in their eyes. "Brother, are we really powerless to fight? Father should be able to kill Zhao Xing, right?"

“Yes, eldest brother, second brother is right. If we really accept this arrangement, who knows how many eras it will take for our Carlos family to recover…”

"Shut up, all of you!" Fu Jin said coldly. "This is Father's decision!"

“They should all honestly appease their clansmen, divide their property, and then return to their ancestral lands to live.”

“As long as Father achieves the divine realm, my Carlos family will have a chance to rise again in the future.”

"If it doesn't work, what good is preserving a little more of the family fortune? In the end, it will all be for nothing!"

Yiping and Yile fell silent. After their older brother's analysis, they understood the reasoning, but they still felt very frustrated.

"Go." Fu Jin waved his hand. "Make all the necessary arrangements. As long as you're alive, there's still a chance."

"Yes."

……

In the rear hall, Ji Che, Ji Si, and Zhao Xing gathered together.

"Brother, how did I do?" Ji Che asked. "Not bad, I guess."

"Not bad, very impressive," Zhao Xing said with a smile.

"That's good." Emperor Wu nodded smugly, then couldn't help but wave his fist: "Brother, that was so satisfying! Those three demigods were so obediently scolded by us, they didn't even dare to raise their heads, hahahaha."

Ji Si watched this scene quietly from the side, and couldn't help but sigh in her heart: "Only in front of the Grand Minister of Agriculture does His Majesty act like a child, completely relaxed. He is usually very serious and doesn't smile."

"It's not just because His Majesty had the Grand Minister of Agriculture with him during his childhood, but also because it has always been the Grand Minister of Agriculture who has provided him with a sense of security over the years."

“Ji Si.” Zhao Xing’s voice brought Ji Si back to her senses. “You still need to keep an eye on things. The Carlos family still has the strength to fight back. We’ve squeezed them hard this time, so we need to prevent them from going all out.”

"Don't worry, Grand Minister of Agriculture." Ji Si nodded. "Fu Jin has conceded defeat. I have won this battle of cause and effect. The opposing Fate Master is powerless to resist. The Carlos family has no secrets from me anymore. I will know their every move."

"They wouldn't even dare to use tricks like transferring assets."

"In my observation of the future, the Carlos family eventually accepted this fate obediently."

"Even that priest Carlos didn't do anything."

"Oh? Ji Si, you can already see such a high level of the future?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but ask curiously.

Fu Jin of the Carlos family is a thirteenth-level demigod, while his father is even stronger, at least a fifteenth-level demigod.

Logically speaking, Ji Si shouldn't be able to see the future of Priest Carlos, but now Ji Si is saying this. Could it be that he has leveled up?
Zhao Xing glanced at Ji Si's head and noticed that Ji Si's data panel was fluctuating, as if flowing water, and was being refreshed.

Ji Si is already a thirteenth-tier Destiny Venerable! And a twelfth-tier Historian!
“Yes.” Ji Si smiled. “Grand Minister of Agriculture, I have improved a lot. With the help of the Eight Directions Divine Realm, the cause and effect below the Divine Realm can basically be seen through me.”

The Carlos family's surrender has attracted the attention of numerous powerful forces.

"They've surrendered. The war of cause and effect is over. The Carlos family has actually come to this day."

"A demigod family, after all, is not a god."

"The winner takes all. The wealth that the Carlos family has accumulated and plundered for many years has now been devoured by an even stronger family."

"Hmph, Zhao Sinong still showed some kindness. If I had that kind of ability, I would wipe out the Carlos family completely."

“Priest Carlos was, after all, a former follower of the Emperor; killing them wouldn’t be so easy.”

"A super family of the Crimson Star Empire, just like that, gone? Decades ago, they were regarded as gods by us. Our Rams family was honored to be incorporated by them, and the whole country celebrated. But now, they have been swallowed up by a country called Great Zhou."

When Prince Ram saw the message on the star mirror, he felt as if he had been electrocuted, and was deeply shocked.

Assuming this happened after they joined the Carlos family, then they are now being treated as spoils of war and completely exploited.

Weak, vassal forces like theirs in the wilderness, would definitely be reduced to slavery.

Fortunately, Zhao Xing killed them all before they were recruited.

"The universe is so cruel..." Prince Ram originally had a naive and beautiful yearning for the empire, the Xuanling Starfield, and the universe. But now, he has completely lost all of these thoughts.

"Only the strong can lead their people to survive in the universe; relying on others is never as good as becoming stronger yourself."

Prince Ram recalled the scene when the world ship of the two demigods, Carlos, was torn apart, and also remembered the figure that resembled a demon god, and a strong desire arose in his heart.

"I want to become stronger, to become as strong as that Venerable Zhao!"

…………

The Northern River System, the Great Zhou Dynasty.

At this time, almost the entire Fengdu Star of the Great Zhou Dynasty was hosting banquets, because the wealth and resources plundered from the Carlos family were too astonishing.

The great Minister of Agriculture Zhao and His Majesty the Emperor have bestowed upon the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty abundant benefits.

To celebrate the Grand Minister of Agriculture's attainment of demigod status, the Great Zhou Dynasty will hold a 'demigod banquet' that will last for fifty years.

For the next fifty years, every resident of the Great Zhou Dynasty will be able to enjoy incredibly abundant cultivation resources every day.

In the Great Zhou Dynasty, all the Taoist academies, academies, and schools are free, and you can eat primordial-level ingredients every day.

A large number of cultivation techniques will be made available for free. Supernatural powers and great supernatural abilities that require expensive copyright purchases in the universe will also be free, as long as you can learn them! You won't need to spend any money at all!
"The golden age of the Great Zhou Dynasty!" Yang Baihe's avatar, carrying a history book, traveled to various places, constantly recording the celebratory scenes.

After visiting only a few counties, they discovered many exceptionally talented children.

In those county towns, there were even branch deans of the Reincarnation Realm.

"With such intensive training, this generation will be the golden generation of the Great Zhou. Who knows how many brilliant talents will emerge from them."

Yang Baihe flew across the Luo River and quietly arrived at the Shangluo Academy.

He planned to visit his son while he was there.

Although he had many sons before, none of them belonged to him; they all belonged to those noblewomen.

Later, he married a Daoist consort who was an emperor, and he also had many descendants in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He sent several of them, whom he thought had good potential, to study at the Shangluo Academy.

Yang Baihe also concealed the fact that his family was very wealthy, since these children were destined to become ministers of agriculture.

With such a wealthy family, how could they endure the hardships of working in the fields?

shuh~
Yang Baihe entered the Shangluo Academy. At that moment, a straw figure inside the academy immediately awoke; it was none other than Liu Tianning.

Yang Baihe bowed slightly to Liu Tianning, then pointed to one of his children. Liu Tianning smiled, then closed his eyes to cultivate again.

Yang Baihe quietly approached a boy who looked eight parts like him. The boy was dozing under a tree.

Seeing him slacking off like this, Yang Baihe was immediately furious.

He immediately cast a spell, causing the branch to lash out in the wind and strike his fourth son hard.

"Ouch~~"

The boy was jolted awake and immediately jumped up.

With no one around, Yang Silang looked at the big tree with a suspicious look in his eyes: "Senior Qianhuan, did you hit me?"

The true spirit within the tree glanced at Yang Baihe and remained silent.

It was your father who hit you, so it's not my fault.

"Please forgive me, senior. I drank too much at Cuixiang Tower yesterday and couldn't find my way back to my dormitory, so I lay down on you and took a nap. My apologies." Yang Silang cupped his hands towards Qianhuan Tree.

Yang Baihe was even angrier after hearing this. "I spent so much money to get you in here, and you actually went drinking?"
Cui Xiang Lou doesn't sound like a good name; it might even be a place where you drink brothels.

OK!

Yang Baihe immediately used the books in Yang Silang's bamboo box as a base and cast a spell to create a book puppet.

Without saying a word, the book puppet pounced on him.

"Damn, what is that..."

Yang Silang was completely dumbfounded. He watched as his book transformed into a muscular man who mounted him, and he instantly sobered up.

He opened the pure primordial soil and cast a spell to resist, but it was no match for him. He was brutally beaten by the book puppet man who was riding on the ground.

"Dean Liu, Dean Liu, help me!" Yang Silang thrashed about on the ground, raising clouds of dust.

"Tell me, are you still going to drink and dine with brothels?!" After giving him a beating, Shu Kui stared fiercely at Yang Silang, who was lying on the ground with a bruised and swollen face.

"Who are you? Sneaking around like this, bullying others with your power... Show yourself if you dare!" Yang Silang was very unconvinced.

"You're ignorant and incompetent, but you're certainly stubborn!"

"Who says I'm unlearned? I just won first place in the academy's grand competition two days ago, how come you call me unlearned? If I hadn't been drinking, you probably wouldn't have been able to beat me. Let me get up!"

Yang Baihe stopped what he was doing.

First in society?

It seemed he had misunderstood the kid. But he clearly refused to admit it.

"Kid, so what if you're number one? When Zhao Xing was your age, he was already the dean of the academy and the Junior Farmer of the Great Zhou Dynasty."

"You're the top student in the company, what's there to be proud of?"

"In a few years, Zhao Xing will be the Grand Minister of Agriculture, and he will have already formulated various legal treatises and be well-versed in the three schools of thought. What do you have to be proud of?"

Yang Silang suddenly stopped struggling and turned around suspiciously: "The way you talk is just like my father's. Grand Minister of Agriculture... how can I compare to the Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

"Then why don't you compete with the Grand Minister of Agriculture?"

Yang Baihe was speechless and could only continue to beat him: "Serves you right for talking back, serves you right for not learning good manners..."

The Thousand Illusion Tree rustled and distorted the space, leaving room for the father and son to communicate intimately.

As the leaves rustled, the true spirit of the Thousand Illusion Tree looked up at the starry sky.

"I never imagined that my master would become a venerable one. Even I have benefited from this misfortune and survived several calamities. Fate is truly unpredictable."

A leaf fell from the Thousand Illusion Tree and quietly flew to the capital of the Great Zhou Dynasty.

He wanted to see if Zhao Xing was still at the banquet.

However, just as it reached the border of the capital, it was shattered by a sword light.

"what?"

The sword light transformed into the figure of Long Xiao, paused slightly, and glanced at the broken leaves: "Where did these Thousand Illusion Tree Leaves come from? They're quite hard."

"Why do you care so much?" A lazy voice came from the side, standing on a flying dragon. It was Xia Jing. "Hurry up, Brother Zhao is very busy right now. He might have to leave before this demigod banquet is even over."

"What's the rush? Old Chen hasn't even arrived yet. It'll be a while before he gets back from Taigu Hill."

Zhao Xing's demigod banquet was primarily for entertaining outsiders in the first half, such as partners like Du Yun, Tuo Sen, and Xu Youling. It was also an opportunity to grab a slice of the Carlos family's lucrative fortune.

As for Wudu, Hongshan, and the others, they had already received benefits before the banquet began and had never separated.

The second half of the game will mainly be played against Da Zhou's relatives and friends.

Firstly, it had been a long time since they had returned to Da Zhou for a reunion; secondly, they wanted to send out Da Zhou's personnel to take over some of the Carlos family's territory.

“Now, even Long Xiao, Xia Jing, Chen Shijie, Ye Yukong, and Luo Hou are all at the Emperor level.”

"Teacher, when is your next tribulation?" Zhao Xing asked, looking at Liu Tianning beside him.

Now, Liu Tianning is also a man who can enter the Primordial Realm. Zhao Xing also knows that Old Liu can even get along with Zuo Qiyu.

"The eighth calamity is still a long way off," Liu Tianning said.

"So what have you been busy with lately?" Zhao Xing asked with a smile. "I can't really just stay at the Shangluo Academy and focus solely on teaching, can I?"

"I'm busy mainly because I want to create a straw doll technique that surpasses anything I've done before," Liu Tianning said.

"Oh?" Zhao Xing became interested: "Teacher, have you made any progress?"

“I only have a basic foundation now,” Liu Tianning said. “With your support, the Great Zhou has been less busy for the past few thousand years.” “My more than 300 million avatars have been traveling around, and one-third of my myriad law avatars have gone to the Tianze Star Region.”

More than three hundred million? Zhao Xing couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.

Old Liu has too many clones. For a clone to venture alone in the universe, it needs to be at least at the Dao Domain Realm to be safe.

Liu Tianning has over 300 million Dharma clones, each of which must have the strength of a Dao Domain Realm. However, in some places, such as the Tianze Star Region, a Dao Domain Realm level is not enough, because there is a war going on there.

Despite controlling so many clones, Liu Tianning's main body appeared perfectly normal. Even during his tribulation, his clones remained active without any apparent disruption.

Liu Tianning said, "You taught me about the Giant Sun Grass Man, and you also showed me the Dao diagrams of the Great Void Grass Man and the Primordial Grass Man. I have also collected all the known grass man techniques myself."

"I plan to continue learning and thoroughly understand all the methods of making straw figures in the world before I start creating them."

Zhao Xing glanced at Lao Liu and realized that he wasn't bragging. In the skill bar, Liu Tianning's straw doll technique occupied 90% of the page.

As for his Primordial Grass Man Technique, if Liu Tianning hadn't wanted to avoid affecting him, he would definitely have been able to learn it.

Back then, it was Old Liu who helped me break through Zuo Qiyu's barrier!
Zhao Xing's mind stirred, and he sensed Liu Tianning's straw doll clone: ​​"Teacher, you're really going all out. Even at a banquet like this, there are still 351241 clones in the Great Zhou territory researching and learning."

“If you like something, how can that be called working hard?” Liu Tianning laughed. “If you don’t like it but still do it, that’s what working hard is. If you like it, do it, that’s enjoyment.”

"Furthermore, I am not just 351241, but 351245 avatars on the mainland."

Zhao Xing was stunned: "How is that possible? There's a straw man that I can't sense?"

Liu Tianning: "Sense in the direction of Shangluo Academy, yes, that's the area where Yang Baihe beat his son."

Zhao Xing carefully sensed the surroundings and discovered that underground in that area, there were four straw dolls that looked exactly like Liu Tianning, who were sitting cross-legged, cultivating and deducing something.

But I actually overlooked these four!
You should know that the Primordial Grass Man Technique can sense and control all grass men, yet Liu Tianning managed to make me ignore it.
"Don't be so surprised." Liu Tianning smiled and said, "When Gu Tianyang created the series of straw doll techniques for the Void Ancestor, he was only at the Emperor level."

"With the continuous development of the spell system, and my in-depth research into these straw doll spells, it's normal to have some small achievements."

Zhao Xing nodded. Yes, today's Liu Tianning might very well be stronger than the Gu Tianyang of the past. Otherwise, how could he be hanging out with Zuo Qiyu?
"Teacher, do you have any creative ideas?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

"Let's not talk about it now, let's talk about it after it's finished," Liu Tianning said with a smile. "Who comes out with a half-finished product?"

"Zuo Qiyu has asked me to spar, so I need to concentrate."

"Ok."

After saying that, Liu Tianning closed his eyes and lowered his head, as if he had fallen asleep.

Zhao Xing glanced at the guests coming and going; at this banquet, people were constantly entering and leaving.

Zhao Xing quickly identified another acquaintance.

shuh~
Zhao Xing carried a jar of wine and came to Yun Tiandao's side, accompanied by a beautiful woman.

"Brother Yun, why are you sitting in the corner? You didn't even say you were coming."

The Great Zhou Dynasty took off rapidly, but Yun Tiandao did not benefit from it.

Yun Tiandao stubbornly believed that he was an official of the Xia Dynasty, not the Great Zhou Dynasty, so he always refused Emperor Wu's Qi Golden Core or other resources.

However, Yun Tiandao now also has a lord-level figure. Although he is somewhat behind in strength among his old friends, he is highly respected by Zhao Xing.

"I didn't plan to come, but I'm about to embark on a long journey and don't know if I'll be able to come again, so I came to say goodbye." Yun Tiandao raised his wine glass and clinked it with Zhao Xing's.

"Where are you going on your long journey?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

Yun Tiandao remained silent, clearly unwilling to tell Zhao Xing.

"Is there anything I can do to help you?" Zhao Xing asked.

"No, I can do it myself."

Zhao Xing nodded and didn't ask any more questions. He simply chatted with Yun Tiandao about some past events.

For thousands of years, Yun Tiandao has not been active on the Annihilation Star Ancient Road, but has been adventuring on another ancient road.

Zhao Xing was very curious about Yun Tiandao's breakthrough. The Tian Shi Sect did not have any top-tier cultivation techniques in this era, but Zhao Xing had never heard of Yun Tiandao's cultivation technique.

"Brother Yun, is your 'Cloud Realm' a self-created Heavenly Timing Technique?"

“Yes.” Yun Tiandao nodded. “I have looked at many of the Tian Shi Sect’s techniques, including those of the Four Seasons Palace and the Zi Wu Tian Shi Hall, but I feel that they are not suitable for me.”

Could it be that Lao Yun's journey was also to seek the great Dao of Heaven?
As they parted, Zhao Xing sensed a faint melancholy about Yun Tiandao's partner; it was a feeling emanating from her demeanor. He wondered if this might have caused some conflict.

After Yun Tiandao left, Zhao Xing summoned Ji Si and asked her to divine Yun Tiandao's fate.

Holding the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, Ji Si performed divination and quickly obtained some information about Yun Tiandao's past and future.

"Two thousand five hundred years ago, around the time we started building the Annihilation Star Ancient Path, Yun Tiandao healed his Daoist partner, but Emperor Xia did not, and unfortunately perished."

Ji Si pointed to the mirror, "Later, Yun Tiandao went to the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom, seemingly to ask the Samsara Temple to revive him, but obviously he failed."

"He wants to resurrect Emperor Xia?" Zhao Xing frowned. Unless there is a racial war, such as a war between humans and demons, the Temple of Reincarnation would not unfreeze the right to resurrect.

Since this involves the protection of time and space channels, how could we possibly open back doors for individuals?

Based on the timeline, for Emperor Xia to remain resurrected and conscious, he would have to go back to before the Desolate Era.

Before and after the Desolate Era, there was a crucial temporal barrier. If one were to merely revive the Xia Emperor from the Desolate Era, he would still be insane upon returning to life.

What does his future hold?

"Hmm?" Ji Si suddenly uttered a questioning sound.

"What's wrong?" Zhao Xing looked over as well.

The mirror was completely black; there was nothing there.

"what happened?"

Ji Si frowned and pondered, "Logically speaking, calculating the fate of Yun Tiandao is almost no difficulty in my eyes."

"I set the time point to the first solar year of the third era of the wasteland, but it was shrouded in darkness."

"In this situation, either Yun Tiandao is dead, or he is protected by a divine artifact and cannot be detected."

"Another possibility is that although he is not dead, he is in some unique place, such as the Black Sky Wasteland."

"Even the power of a destiny master cannot penetrate such forbidden zones."

"Either the Great Catastrophe of the Third Era of the Desolate Region affected the Great Dao of Cause and Effect."

“I predict that you, Grand Minister of Agriculture, are in the same state of chaos, but you have one more condition than Yun Tiandao.”

"Which situation?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Becoming a god," Ji Si said in a low voice, "The god realm allows one to suppress one's karma to a minimum, like noise in the universe, unpredictable. Some powerful gods even completely transcend karma."

Zhao Xing was not surprised by Ji Si's words. Powerful gods could travel through the river of time, so it was not uncommon for them to have the ability to transcend the laws of cause and effect.

“Given Yun Tiandao’s situation, I don’t see any possibility for him to reach the God Realm,” Ji Si said. “So something must have happened to him, but he’s unwilling to tell us.”

“Yun Tiandao has always been like this,” Ji Si sighed. “He treats us as fellow villagers, but not as colleagues or friends. Perhaps you, Grand Minister of Agriculture, would be considered a friend. However, I don’t know much about him.”

Zhao Xing also felt a bit emotional. Yes, Yun Tiandao had no sense of belonging to the Great Zhou. He was a descendant of the Xia Dynasty, and even in the universe version, Yun Tiandao mostly made his own way.

In truth, he hadn't given Yun Tiandao much help; on the contrary, Yun Tiandao had repeatedly extended a helping hand to the Great Zhou after the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom and the Lai Empire.

"Even if Yun Tiandao doesn't want it, I should still do something for him."

Zhao Xing looked at the dark mirror, pondered for a moment, then separated a Primordial Avatar, which quietly slipped out from underground and followed behind Yun Tiandao.

……

Time passed quickly, and fifty years went by. Only ten years remained before the Third Era of the Wasteland.

After the demigod banquet ended, Zhao Xing began to work on five things.

Three of them were private matters, and two were public matters.

His first personal matter: to begin cultivating the methods to achieve godhood and enlightenment, including studying Wei Tianchen's medical arts, particularly the 'Heaven-Mending Method' and the refining of the five divine medicines, which were the focus of his comprehension.

The Heaven-Mending Technique is the core magic used by Wei Tianchen to attain godhood.

His philosophy is to eradicate the parasites (the strong) in the world and return the order to nature.

It's like killing someone can accumulate merit.

However, it's easier said than done.

Because not everyone can receive feedback from the origin of the universe.

First, there's the quantity: unless you're at a demigod level, you won't get any feedback at all.

Secondly, there's the method: Zhao Xing forced Venerable Zhaibing to his death. Theoretically, after Venerable Zhaibing died, his essence returned to the universe because of Zhao Xing, but he didn't receive any feedback to become stronger.

Ultimately, this is because Zhao Xing hasn't yet cultivated the 'Heaven-Mending Technique.' According to Wei Tianchen, cultivating the Heaven-Mending Technique establishes a connection with the origin of the universe. Only after killing the 'parasite' will he receive feedback.

Cultivating the art of medicine will also allow Zhao Xing to better understand the 'Heavenly Change Divine Needle', since this set of artifacts is itself a combination of the medical and agricultural arts.

At the same time, Zhao Xing will also begin to study the "Eternal Realm" and the "Earth Refining Method." This will serve to verify his own creations, such as the "Earth Era Transformation Theory: Layered Boundary Mountain" and the "Six Qi Theory of Annihilation Stars."

The second personal matter was to track down Yun Tiandao and find his own traveling clone.

Because he discovered that the place Yun Tiandao went was in the direction of the Black Sky Wasteland.

Based on the rumor that the Black Sky Wasteland was formed after the Polar Star was obscured, Yun Tiandao's idea of ​​going to the Black Sky Wasteland to pursue the Great Dao of Heavenly Timing coincided with that of his traveling avatar.

In addition, Zhao Xing remembered that Wu Tian, ​​who taught him the Great Five Finger Mountain and whose origins were very mysterious, had also gone to the Black Sky Wasteland.

The third personal matter was to have Ji Si continue to refine the Eight Directions Divine Mirror. After the artifact spirit of the Divine Realm came into Ji Si's hands, it actually opened up a never-before-seen inheritance function, and would occasionally absorb Ji Si into it.

Every time Ji Si appeared, her skill level would skyrocket. During the fifty years of the Demigod Banquet, although Ji Si did not undergo the True Spirit Tribulation again, all kinds of spells improved extremely quickly.

Zhao Xing even suspected that this mirror was related to the legendary Shifang Mountain, a place of extraordinary destiny.

The third personal matter he needed to attend to was preparing for his trip to Shifang Mountain.

"It's a pity that Venerable Bamboo Sword didn't get on the vehicle. We don't know how he got out, or whether he even got out at all."

Zhao Xing had promised the Bamboo Sword Venerable that he would take him up the mountain, but the Yin-Yang Boundary Ship arrived too suddenly, and he didn't have time to call the Bamboo Sword Venerable along.

The [Fengchan Land] is still grayed out, and Zhao Xing doesn't know how to get in again, so he has no choice but to give up.

He carefully sensed the causal threads of the bamboo sword, but there was no clear indication of what was going on. He wondered what the Bamboo Sword Venerable was like.

The fourth thing is official business.

This is a mission given to Zhao Xing by the Crimson Star Empire, delivered by the Guluo River:
"Zhao Xing, you are now a demigod with considerable combat power. You are now a strong figure among the human race in the Desolate Era. You also need to shoulder some responsibilities."

Zhao Xing had anticipated this; the Divine Realm wouldn't side with him for no reason.

The reason they stood by and watched him destroy the Carlos family was ultimately because they saw his potential; if he became a god in the future, he would be the main force against the evil god camp.

“Nowadays, altars of evil gods have appeared in various desolate regions. The largest one is in the Black Sky Desolate Region, where a black abyss has formed. It has not yet been fully explored. With your many clones, you are a suitable candidate for exploration.”

"The highest levels of humanity will award you contribution points based on your exploration results. These are your opportunities to become a free god," said Gu Luohe. "The more you contribute, the more priority you will receive from the limited resources available for becoming a free god."

There is almost no way to help on the path of enlightenment in the universe, and there is no such thing as providing resources. In this space-time, the resources for becoming a god all refer to cultivating one's origin and becoming a free god.

After learning about the origin of the Desolate Era, Zhao Xing understood how precious this resource for achieving godhood was.

First, the resources themselves are scarce; second, it requires the approval of the human race's high command.

While Qingyuzi gained resources by taking a shortcut to godhood, his underhanded methods were not recognized, so he was punished by being sent to ancient times to repay his debts.

In other words, ordinary people are not qualified to accept tasks that earn contribution points from the highest levels of the human race; such opportunities are reserved only for exceptionally talented individuals.

“These missions are quite special. Every time you return, you must first go to the Mind Palace,” Gu Luohe instructed. “If you notice anything unusual, such as a case of demonic possession, you can also go to the Mind Palace and request the Mind General to examine you.”

“Senior Gu, I understand.” Zhao Xing nodded and accepted a token, which was a Primal Token.

This means that Zhao Xing has become the [Primordial Messenger] from this moment on. Similarly, possessing this token also means that he has been chosen by the highest level of the human race and has the hope of becoming a god.

Equal in status are the Moon God Token of the Primordial Heavenly Palace, the Reincarnation Token of the Reincarnation Temple, and the Mysterious Spirit Token of the Ancient Kingdom Alliance.

"The Primordial Messenger has the hope of becoming a god. Could it be that Senior Zuo Qiyu also has such qualifications?" Zhao Xing asked this question.

“He once had it,” Gu Luohe said, “but the appearance of Jin Yan and you has made his hope increasingly slim. Zuo Qiyu has been stuck at the ninth True Spirit Tribulation and has been unable to break through for a long time. However, the number of his divided souls has been increasing.”

The True Spirit cannot advance, but the Divided Soul keeps growing? Zhao Xing was somewhat puzzled, but Gu Luohe said he didn't know why this was happening either, so he had to give up.

"Senior Gu, where is Jin Yan hiding? Is there a chance to kill him?" Zhao Xing asked. He could vaguely sense Jin Yan's location, while Zuo Qiyu's location was very clear, due to the distance.

“Jin Yan is hiding in the demon territory,” Gu Luohe shook his head and said, “It’s unlikely he’ll have a chance.”

"The demon race is also contributing to the fight against the evil god, but their ideologies are slightly different from ours, and they are not subordinate to each other, so there is no good solution at the moment."

Upon hearing this, Zhao Xing suddenly remembered: "Senior Gu, what is the background of the Shadow Temple?"

The Shadow Temple is also a mysterious organization. From the very beginning of the Eastern Yan Ancient Clan's sacrificial rites, some people have used it to hire assassins to kill themselves. Later, Wei Tianchen put a bounty on the Shadow Temple, and it seems to be omnipresent.

“All we know is that the Shadow Temple existed during the era of the Five Emperors.” Gu Luohe shook his head. “They exist in any time and space, but no one knows their origins or details.”

“They are purer than the Temple of Reincarnation. They will accept anything as long as the price is right. The Emperor speculates that they were established by a certain God-King and do not belong to any party.”

"Because the Shadow Temple is untraceable, and it gives some face to super powers and abides by certain rules, it does not issue excessively targeted missions. Therefore, both in the past and present, the existence of the Shadow Temple has been tacitly approved, and it even occasionally uses their power to do some things."

"A force established by some idle god-king?" Zhao Xing speculated.

If it was established by a God-King, then as long as that God-King cannot be killed, the Shadow Temple cannot be completely eradicated.

So, does that mean the Shadow Temple is a neutral tool?

Zhao Xing recalled that Wei Tianchen's legacy included descriptions of the Shadow Temple, and he even possessed Wei Tianchen's identity token from the Shadow Temple. The token was of a fairly high level, and he wondered if he was qualified to inherit it.

……

The fifth official matter comes from the Ancient Hill.

Since Venerable Hongshan had guided Zhao Xing during the reign of the Emperor and taught him magic, Zhao Xing could also be considered a member of the Ancient Hill.

The Empire and the Ancient Hills have always been close allies, so Zhao Xing can be said to have good relations with both sides.

Previously, the Primordial Interface had been given face, and Zhao Xing himself served as the Enlightenment Messenger on the Ancient Road, so apart from helping Zhao Xing hold Dharma assemblies and promote the theory of the Diejie Mountain, the Primordial Hill had never asked Zhao Xing to do any official business.

But now Zhao Xing has also received the Dao decree from the Ancient Hill, which is to prepare for the Mountain Head Dharma Assembly of the Third Era in the Desolate Region.

"The struggle for the top mountain was originally only intended for you to observe," Venerable Lushan said. "However, since you caused the death of one of the two demigods of the Carlos family and seriously injured the other, we believe you have the strength to compete for the top mountain. As a result, eighty percent of the officials of the Twelve Mountains in the Three Realms believe you should participate, so we have listed you as one of the candidates."

"must go?"

"must."

Zhao Xing's reputation is so high that he has no choice but to participate.

After all, Zhao Xing's two famous legal treatises, the theory of Diejie Mountain, had a great influence on Taigu Hill.

If Zhao Xing weren't a demigod, that would be fine; he has the ability. If he weren't allowed to go, many people would criticize him.

Even the winners probably felt it was a misnomer—Zhao Xing didn't even participate, so this year's Shanshou Dharma Assembly was far less prestigious!

Venerable Hongshan said, “After you go there, you cannot use the Houbian method to compete, otherwise my Taigu Hill will lose face. Therefore, your Houbian method will definitely be banned. The Tianshi method and the Benwo method are also not allowed.”

Zhao Xing hesitated, "Going is no problem, but I don't know if the timing will conflict. How much longer until it starts?"

Venerable Hongshan said, "The time for the Dharma assembly has not yet been determined. There is no rush. You can go later."

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised: "It can be delayed? We can't postpone this Dharma assembly because of me, can we?"

Venerable Hongshan laughed and said, "You're overthinking it. But it's true that the timing is quite flexible. It will be held either in the third or fourth solar year, or at the latest, in the fifth solar year."

One solar year equals 1000 celestial years. Zhao Xing calculated that he still had at least 1 years to prepare, which was not bad.

"What, you still have a long mission ahead of you?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing didn't hide anything. "I'm going to investigate the mission of the Evil God Altar in the Desolate Region."

Once he leaves the Bone God Realm, his tribulation won't be so easy. Moreover, with so many split souls growing together, resources will be scarce.

Demigod-level resources are also very precious to Zhao Xing, so he must do this contribution point task seriously, do it often, and do it well.

"Then you can decide for yourself. As long as you participate, that's fine. Nobody said you have to become the leader of the mountains." Venerable Hongshan and Venerable Lushan only hoped that Zhao Xing could perform well in this mountain leader Dharma assembly, but they did not think that Zhao Xing could defeat the many competitors and become the leader of the twelve mountains.

It's important to know that his competitors include not only newly promoted demigods like Venerable Hongshan and Venerable Lushan, but also some veteran demigods. Among them are many powerful individuals above the fourteenth rank.

If the only competitive factor is geographical advantage, it would be extremely difficult for Zhao Xing to catch up within three or four thousand years.

"I will do my best." Zhao Xing nodded, thinking that Venerable Hongshan and Venerable Lushan had seen his talent and placed high hopes on him, so he seriously agreed.

Just as Zhao Xing was discussing official business with Venerable Hongshan and Gu Luohe.

The western border of the Xuanling Starfield is the Black Sky Wasteland, which borders the Heavenly Demon Kingdom, the Myriad Demon Kingdom, the Azure Thunder Ancient Kingdom, the Holy Wing Ancient Kingdom, and the Purple Profound Ancient Kingdom.

"Om~"

Yun Tiandao crossed a dark river and arrived at the side of a dilapidated ancient ship in the dark starry sky.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's clone, who was following behind, also discovered that Yun Tiandao's location had reached an unknown area of ​​the Black Sky Wasteland.

"This is no longer the outer area, and it's not shown on the map."

"What's Old Yun doing here? An ancient ship?"

Zhao Xing looked closely, but could only see part of the ancient ship. It seemed to be hidden in a black mist, with only the tip of the iceberg showing.

The darkness of the Black Sky Wasteland is darkness in its original sense, because it is filled with the source of darkness. Ordinary light, such as the Sun Star Lamp, even a high-grade Reincarnation Dao Soldier, cannot illuminate far here.

Zhao Xing couldn't make out the whole picture of the ancient ship. There were no words or patterns on it, only some seemingly disordered lines and horizontal bars.

"Kakaka~"

Suddenly, a bright light emanated from Yun Tiandao's hand, seemingly cracking open a circular magic array on the hull of the ancient ship. Multiple layers of spatial runes appeared on the array, engulfing Yun Tiandao.

"Whoosh~"

When Yun Tiandao entered, Zhao Xing's clone appeared in his original position.

However, Zhao Xing couldn't see any entrance here. The entrance to the ancient ship wasn't mechanical, but a spatial array, which meant that without a method or token, it was impossible to enter.

“Old Yun traveled hundreds of millions of miles to the Black Sky Wasteland. His destination was so clear, and he kept it a secret from everyone. Could he have been bewitched by an evil god?”

Before accepting the contribution point mission, Zhao Xing would never have made this connection; he would have simply assumed that Yun Tiandao was pursuing the Great Dao of Heavenly Timing.

Because the way of sacrifice was slashed by the Moon Goddess Palace Master, he immediately made that connection.

"That damned evil god, he actually bewitched Old Yun? Could he be trying to resurrect Emperor Xia through the evil god?"

Zhao Xing felt heavy-hearted. After considering this possibility, he immediately went to find Yun Tiandao's Daoist partner.

Yun Tiandao did not bring his wife to the Black Sky Wasteland, but instead arranged for her to stay in the territory of a neighboring Star-level power outside the Wasteland.

"Whoosh~" Zhao Xing's other clone immediately descended onto this star continent called 'Chaofeng Continent'.

Among countless cities, the location of Yun Tiandao's Daoist partner, Fairy Ni Feng, was pinpointed.

"Shu~"

The protective array of a mere Star-level power was nothing to Zhao Xing, and he directly descended outside Fairy Ni Feng's courtyard.

“Sister-in-law, I am Zhao Xing. Please come out and meet me.”

Inside the courtyard, a middle-aged woman opened the gate and looked at Zhao Xing with some surprise: "Brother Zhao, what are you doing here?"

“Sister-in-law, please allow me to report this later. Just tell me, is Brother Yun doing something dangerous?”

Fairy Neon Wind shook her head: "Brother Zhao, I don't know what you're talking about."

Zhao Xing, however, grasped her complex emotional fluctuations and immediately understood that there must be something hidden. Time was of the essence, so he immediately asked, "Fairy Nifeng! Did Brother Yun come to the Black Sky Wasteland to resurrect Emperor Xia? Is he going to offer a sacrifice to the evil god, or not!"

"Do you know how dangerous this is? If you don't tell me quickly, he will be doomed. You two haven't seen each other for many years, and it's not easy for you to reunite. Are you going to be separated again?"

"Tell me quickly, maybe I can still save him!"

Zhao Xing broke through Fairy Ni Feng's psychological defenses. She was already struggling, and when she heard Zhao Xing say that Yun Tiandao was in mortal danger, she immediately blurted out what she had been saying.

“Tian Ge and I did indeed obtain a statue of a god, and learned many secrets of the Desolate Era from Him.”

"After being refused entry by the Temple of Reincarnation, Brother Tian thought of seeking help from this deity..."

Zhao Xing was shocked; Yun Tiandao had indeed been bewitched by the evil god!

"Do you know the name of this deity? Have you practiced his magic or taken any medicine he gave you?"

Fairy Nifeng shook her head: "That's just an ordinary statue. It only has the ability to communicate, not to transmit objects. This is also the first time Tian Ge and I have been here."

"Originally, Tian and I both had tokens, but he told me to stay here first. If he never came back, he told me to throw away the tokens and never come looking for him again..."

It seems that Yun Tiandao is not completely confused yet, so he left his Daoist partner behind first.

Zhao Xing looked at the increasingly flustered Fairy Ni Feng and said, "Sister-in-law, don't panic. Give me the token. There's still time."

“Okay, this is it…” Fairy Nifeng handed a dark red wooden sculpture to Zhao Xing, but as she was about to hand it over, she suddenly pulled her hand back.

Suddenly, the statue in Fairy Neon Wind's hand shone brightly with red light, bursting forth like a blazing sun.

Seeing the red light spreading towards Fairy Nifeng, Zhao Xing decisively severed her hand and burned it with his inner fire. At the same time, he stored Fairy Nifeng in his world ring.

"boom!"

The light and shadow conjured a divine statue, chanting incantations:

"Since you have seen the immeasurable true gods, why not worship them?"

Language, like the laws of heaven and earth, oppressed Zhao Xing's mind, and at this moment, even his other clones were affected.

"Chichi~"

Zhao Xing's eyes instantly turned red, and he couldn't help but want to kneel down.

At this moment, he immediately used four layers of seven-colored magic power to enhance his true spirit and mental will, and the red lotus magic power to destroy everything, thus immediately resisting the urge to kneel.

But Zhao Xing still obediently knelt down. His purpose was to stay sober and try to extract information, not to resist or destroy the statue.

"It's never too late to turn back from the wrong path." The Boundless True God nodded kindly.

"Please, Your Majesty, enlighten me." Zhao Xing said with a devout expression.

"You are trapped in this backward era, bewitched and controlled by the evil gods here, and will eventually face an inevitable death." The voice of the Boundless True God was indifferent.

Zhao Xing feigned surprise and said, "How could this be? I've been controlled by a god from the Xuanling Starfield?"

"Of course, those gods who remained in the desolate era were all cowardly fugitives. They would rather perish with the universe than stop the true god from saving the world. They also disrupted the river of time and space and ruined the great plan of salvation."

"They block the Great Way, seal off and tamper with history, and do not allow people to become gods. Aren't they evil gods?"

Zhao Xing was taken aback. This wasn't an act; he simply found it somewhat comical.

The 'evil gods' who fled to the past, on the contrary, believe that those who remain in the desolate era are the evil gods of the future, and that this is escapism?

It seems that these so-called 'evil gods' are not the kind of people who come out and kill, kill, kill and destroy the world. They also seem to be using the banner of 'saving the world'.

Zhao Xing didn't want to hear the Boundless True God's evaluation of the modern gods, but at this moment, Yun Tiandao on the other side had already emerged, his life force stable and even increasing significantly.

The clone on this side was no longer in a hurry, but instead bowed again and said, "Yes, that's right. I often feel restricted and not free... Please, God, guide me out of my confusion."

(End of this chapter)
