Chapter 510 The Myriad-Year Flower God Seed of the Historian: Breakthrough and Sacrifice!
Chapter 510 The Myriad-Year Flower God Seed of the Historian: Breakthrough and Sacrifice!
"Greetings, God!"
Venerable Fuping, Venerable Hujue, and Zhao Xing immediately bowed in respect.
The Boundless True God waved his hand, and a divine power lifted the three of them up.
When Zhao Xing looked up, he realized that he could no longer see Venerable Fuping and Venerable Hujue.
He speculated that the Boundless True God was giving instructions to the three of them separately.
The Boundless True God acted decisively; he first gave Zhao Xing the reward he had promised last time.
Three golden rays appeared before Zhao Xing.
“Zhao Xing, these are three divine powers containing the essence of time.”
"You are the Minister of Agriculture, and you have mastered both the geomancer and the egoist schools of thought."
"The power of the Time Origin Divine Power is of great benefit, whether it is used for the growth of the polar continent, or for the growth of the inner world and military units."
"If used for troops, it can accelerate their growth. Emperor-level plant troops can even break through the shackles and reach the legendary level."
"Used for the evolution of the inner world, three portions can accelerate it by about one epoch, saving you an epoch of time to accumulate slowly."
Zhao Xing was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed: "Thank you, true god!"
It seems that the Boundless True God is a time array master who has actually cultivated the divine power of the origin of time.
Moreover, he was incredibly generous, casually giving away three portions of the divine power of the Time Origin.
This trip was worthwhile; I got a great deal out of the deals.
The incentive has been given; now it's time for the task.
"Zhao Xing, I have three tasks for you."
"You are free to choose according to your abilities." Whichever you complete, you will receive a reward from this god. However—"
The Boundless True God's tone shifted abruptly, becoming cold: "If you can't complete any of them within the allotted time, then it proves you're a piece of trash, or not loyal enough to me."
"You will be cursed by karma, and even if you are a demigod, your lifespan will be greatly reduced."
Zhao Xing's heart skipped a beat; getting on the evil god's ship wasn't so easy.
Especially for gods like the Boundless True God, who have a very high opinion of themselves, the rewards for their tasks are very generous, but the punishments are also very severe.
“God, I will do my utmost.”
The Boundless True God drew out a strand of silk and inserted it into Zhao Xing's life palace.
This is a thought that contains the task content.
Zhao Xing could only find out the specifics of the mission through this.
Moreover, this wisp of divine thought is unique. Like Fan Qianrou's Heart Sealing Technique, its contents can be seen and acted upon, but cannot be spoken.
Zhao Xing touched this wisp of divine thought and quickly learned the contents of the three tasks.
The first is a very normal sacrificial task: it includes gathering stars, collecting veins, and refining flesh, blood, and soul.
The mission details are similar to those that Yun Tiandao received from Tianheng Leimu.
This is normal; the fundamental need is material.
However, Zhao Xing's level is higher, and the requirements for this task are also higher.
The quantity demand is one hundred times that of Yuntiandao.
……
The first task was relatively normal and within Zhao Xing's capabilities.
The last two tasks are a bit beyond the scope of the curriculum.
The second task: to cultivate the 'Eternal Flower God Seed'.
According to the explanation of the Boundless True God, the 【Myriad-Year Flower God Seed】 is a time-space parasitic seed.
The four seasons of the universe manifest differently at different times.
The Myriad-Year Flower God Seed needs to go through ten thousand different eras and absorb the essence of different cosmic periods before it can bloom and bear fruit.
Zhao Xing now has a hundred seeds, which resemble grains of wheat and have tiny spatial cracks on them.
It has obviously only gone through one era, so its value is not particularly high.
The Boundless True God demanded that Zhao Xing at least cause a new crack to appear in the Myriad Chronicles Flower God Seed.
The more cracks there are, the higher the reward.
……
The third task is to cultivate bookworm larvae.
The Boundless True God gave Zhao Xing three juveniles, each about half a finger long.
Bookworm larvae can only grow by consuming history books.
The highest level of historical records is, of course, the Xuanling History Book.
If one can gnaw on the Xuanling History Book, even just biting off a corner, the mission can be completed immediately.
Next are the historical records of ancient kingdoms and the historical records of demon kingdoms.
However, the quantity needed is a bit larger.
……
Of the three tasks, the first one is the simplest, while the latter two are quite difficult.
"If you can complete either of these two tasks, I can take you away from the Desolate Era and help you become a free god."
"The chance of becoming a god is at least 80%."
The words of the immeasurable true God are incredibly compelling.
"Even if you only complete the first sacrifice task, you will still receive a treasure reward to help you overcome the tribulation."
"Go."
The Boundless True God waved his hand, and Zhao Xing appeared at the foot of the mountain in a flash.
"The task of the Boundless True God is truly difficult; it is much more difficult than the task of the Heavenly Thunder Mother."
"If you don't have the skills, it'll be hard to get by in any camp," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
The tasks assigned by the evil god are also a form of selection, with certain thresholds.
It's impossible for a noob to suddenly become a genius and crush the current generation just because he sided with an evil god.
Of course, the emergence of the evil god faction has increased the overall chances of becoming a god.
Previously, there were only contribution-based tasks available in the Xuanling Star Region, but now there are additional tasks related to the Evil God.
The demigods also had more options.
The entry requirements are also lower than those of the righteous god faction in the Desolate Era.
For example, someone like Tiger Venerable was not qualified to compete for god-level resources within the demon realm.
Now there is hope of obtaining it from the evil god's camp.
Of course, if Venerable Tiger wants more options, he must take on greater risks.
"Om~"
When Venerable Fuping and Venerable Hujue appeared, the space trembled.
It is quite difficult for the Black Sky Wasteland to tear through the void, but Zhao Xing saw that the temple on the mountain suddenly shrank rapidly and disappeared into the crack.
The Boundless True God is quite cautious, firing one shot and then moving on to another.
“The Boundless True God is sending out missions and bringing things over. His descent must consume divine power, which is why he is summoning believers together,” Zhao Xing pondered.
Descent comes at a price, and the time spent there is very short, which is similar to the rules of the Transcendent Tower.
Just as Zhao Xing was about to fly away, he suddenly saw Venerable Tiger Absolute launch an attack.
A shadow suddenly spread across the sky and the ground, forming a huge black maw, as if it wanted to swallow Venerable Fuping and himself whole.
"What are you doing?" Venerable Fuping roared in fury and immediately summoned a spinning top artifact. The artifact spun continuously, as if crushing space, slowing down the giant maw shadow's devouring motion.
Zhao Xing was also within the scope of the attack, but he only received about 20% of the damage. Venerable Hu Jue was mainly targeting Venerable Fu Ping.
He casually used the teleportation technique to jump out of the encirclement and appeared on a hilltop not far away.
"What's wrong with this tiger demon? Oh... so it was me who reported it." After Zhao Xing came out, he immediately connected with his split soul and learned about the report.
"Doesn't the Boundless True God care?" Zhao Xing put himself in the Boundless True God's shoes and realized that instead of having time to deal with such matters, the Boundless True God would be better off reinvesting in other demigods.
If you can't even protect yourself and can't withstand this little bit of pressure, how can you be worthy of serving the Boundless True God?
"Roar."
Seeing that Zhao Xing had escaped, Venerable Hujue paid no further attention to him; his main target was Venerable Fuping.
From discovery to reporting to verification, it must take some time, right?
Zhao Xing's identity was revealed as soon as he entered; the timing doesn't add up at all.
He believes that he was reported before Zhao Xinglai.
Therefore, Venerable Tiger Absolute immediately ruled out the correct answer, concluding that it was Venerable Fuping who had already witnessed it once.
Zhao Xing touched the palm of the hand adorned with the Qi Luck Divine Bone. This thing truly possessed extraordinary fortune; it was no exaggeration to say it could turn misfortune into good fortune and bring boundless luck.
“Venerable Fuping, you'd better pray for yourself. I can't reveal my identity to help you.”
After seven consecutive leaps, I left the Black Sky Wasteland. Then, with just three more leaps, I returned to the territory of the Crimson Star Empire.
Upon his return, Zhao Xing immediately went to the Mind Palace and met with the Mind General 'Qiluo'.
Each time you return from a mission, you must meet with the Divine General to eliminate any hidden dangers arising from carrying out the evil god's mission. This is to prevent being unknowingly misled.
In the misty, ancient void, a towering palace floats—this is Qiluo's Mind Palace.
swoosh~
Zhao Xing descended upon the first-level plaza of the Mind Palace, where many high-ranking boundary ships and flying boats were docked.
Clearly, Zhao Xing was not the only one carrying out the mission; there were many other demigods as well.
"Greetings, Primordial Envoy." As soon as Zhao Xing arrived at the first level, a maidservant in flowing robes appeared before him. They were all mechanical puppets with high-level artifact spirits, under the command of the Great Evolution Divine Weapon, and would never leak secrets.
"Take me to see the Lord of the Mind Palace," Zhao Xing said.
"Please follow me." The maid led Zhao Xing into a misty passage.
They walked along this passage for a long time without reaching their destination, as if they were going in circles. However, Zhao Xing did not show any impatience.
I walked for a very long time through the long passage, and suddenly—
“Primordial Messenger Zhao Xing, there is nothing wrong with your mind.”
Zhao Xing was startled, suddenly feeling himself being pushed backward at an alarming rate.
"Buzz~" He suddenly opened his eyes.
I found myself still standing in the same place.
“What was I doing just now…” Zhao Xing looked at the mechanical maid beside him.
“Primordial Messenger, your soul just entered the Mind Channel. If there were no problems, it will naturally return,” the maid explained.
"I see." Zhao Xing was surprised by the power of the Mind General. His soul left his body and went through the Mind Channel without him noticing. The methods of the Divine Realm were indeed terrifying.
Especially for those at the Divine Realm level who are mentally powerful, their mental techniques are even more difficult to detect.
"Thank you, Palace Master of the Heart God Palace."
Zhao Xing bowed to the enormous palace and then left the Palace of the Mind.
…………
After leaving the mental palace of the Dao Ancient Layer, the main body returned to its residence in the Primordial City.
"Three strands of the divine power of the origin of time, this is a benefit given by the immeasurable true god, I wonder if the god-level native species will eat it."
Zhao Xing opened his inner world and sent three strands of divine power to the god-level native species.
The three strands of divine power were utterly insignificant in the face of the god-level native species, which was as large as a planet.
"Chichi~"
The three strands of time-based divine power were absorbed in an instant.
"Om~"
The native species trembled slightly, seemingly quite satisfied.
Zhao Xing looked at the panel and found that there was no obvious difference; it still showed that it was in the process of gestation.
"Shu~"
Zhao Xing teleported to the side of the seed planet and discovered that about half of the Boundless True God's Time Origin Divine Power had been expelled and merged into one.
"Absorption efficiency of fifty percent? That's much higher than the absorption efficiency of the Boundary-Opening Divine Stone and the Blue and White Porcelain Magic Power."
When Zhao Xing fed the remaining power of the Boundary-Opening Divine Stone to the native species, it only absorbed one percent. As for the blue-and-white magic power, it absorbed one ten-thousandth.
However, it consumed half of the time-source divine power of the Boundless True God.
"The power of the Boundless True God has such benefits?"
Zhao Xing collected a portion of the 'residue' that the seed had expelled.
After carefully sensing it, he discovered that this divine power had become incredibly pure, containing no Dao whatsoever; it was a completely new kind of divine power.
“The power of the immeasurable true god also included His Tao and Law, but now they are gone.”
"I, this native species, can also be used as a filter."
Zhao Xingyuan was initially worried about potential problems with using the divine power of the Boundless True God for baptism, but now he has no need to worry at all.
"I eat!"
Zhao Xing ate it himself.
The pure divine power entered the body and went straight to the dantian.
Zhao Xing used this divine power on the Mustard Seed Domain of the Extreme Continent.
The 840 million particle peaks began to shake.
A touch of gold was added to the originally gray mountain peaks.
The golden mountain peaks reflected the light, illuminating the true spirit within the Palace of Destiny.
"Om~"
Zhao Xing's true spirit began to grow stronger.
As the progress of cultivation techniques increases, it will naturally be reflected in the true spirit.
After this feedback loop ended, Zhao Xing opened his eyes.
"Since returning and defeating the Carlos family, I have obtained a large amount of demigod-level resources. Apart from the travel clone and the cultivation clone in the Ancient Hill, the level of my split soul has also been gradually raised to the level of the Ninth Tribulation."
"With this baptism of divine power, my true spirit is now ninety-eight times stronger than that of a ninth-tier demigod!"
"I can now choose to break through on my own initiative and trigger the tenth True Spirit Tribulation."
"I wonder what my tenth True Spirit Tribulation will be like, or if it will even happen."
Logically speaking, after emerging from the Bone God Realm, each of the divided souls should have encountered the Ninth True Spirit Tribulation.
However, Zhao Xing's divided souls have all reached the ninth level, yet he has never encountered a true spirit tribulation.
He consulted the spirit of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, and the spirit's guess was as follows:
"The essence of the True Spirit Tribulation is the universe's punishment of cultivators who escape the operation of the universe's laws. For example, those who are reincarnated and reborn, thus breaking the laws governing the lifespan of living beings."
"That's one point. You have never been reincarnated and cultivated again."
"Secondly, your fortune has reached a very high level because of your divine bones. The essence of fortune is the favor of the Great Dao of the universe."
"The combination of the two means that when you break through to demigod status, there is no True Spirit Tribulation."
"If you don't believe me, you can ask Gu Luohe. He probably didn't experience the ninth or tenth tribulation either, and his true spirit automatically became stronger."
Zhao Xing sought confirmation from the ancient Luo River, and the answer he received was indeed similar to that of the Eight Directions Artifact Spirit.
"That's right. I didn't experience the True Spirit Tribulation when I became a demigod. I skipped the tribulation directly about seven times and naturally became stronger."
Zhao Xing was speechless. Had he skipped seven times?
Gu Luohe's fortune level is level 31, which is one level higher than mine, even though I have the Fortune Divine Bone. This is Gu Luohe's inherent fortune, not the fortune I have achieved by using the Five Emperor Coins and the Fortune Divine Bone.
"No wonder Gu Luohe is a true spirit of the twenty-two tribulations; he truly deserves to be called the chosen one of this version."
After getting the answer, Zhao Xing tried to break through.
On this day, his true form purchased a large amount of demigod-level resources, using all the dividends he received from the Annihilation Star Ancient Path to buy demigod-level resources from the Imperial Treasury.
"Gulu~~"
All ninety-eight divided souls left their bodies and stood in a magic array grid, continuously consuming true spirit treasures, their auras constantly increasing.
"If I didn't have to worry about calamities, with my current wealth, I could buy many true spirit treasures."
"For example, the 'Mother Qi of Heaven and Earth,' the True Spirit Fruit, and the Heart of the Origin Realm..."
After becoming a demigod, the main fear is undergoing tribulation.
People like the Five Poisons Venerable and the Hongshan Venerable, who became demigods and went into seclusion, mainly to deal with calamities, such as going to the 'Reincarnation Realm', which can reduce the power of the calamities.
If you don't need to face calamities, then improving yourself is relatively simple.
"Divine Bone, let me see where your limits are!"
"I eat!"
Zhao Xing began to devour True Spirit treasures on a large scale, unleashing his full power to strengthen the True Spirit of his main body and the divided soul.
A month later, the panel showed that Zhao Xing had become a 'Tenth-Order True Spirit', but the calamity had not yet befallen him.
Two months later, the eleventh-level True Spirit still had not faced the calamity.
Six months later, a twelfth-level True Spirit!
……
It was only at this moment that Zhao Xing vaguely sensed the existence of the True Spirit Tribulation.
Zhao Xing attempted to deliberately trigger the thirteenth calamity.
"boom!"
A terrifying thundercloud suddenly tore through the void, and a bolt of lightning struck one of the divided souls.
Swish swish swish~
The rest of the divided souls and the original body dispersed, leaving only this divided soul to face the calamity.
"go with!"
Zhao Xing's split soul raised its hand and pointed, and a bolt of lightning also appeared, but it was black.
The black lightning, like heavy water, clashed with the tribulation lightning.
This move, called [Heavy Water Divine Thunder], is a Heavenly Timing Thunder Technique cultivated from the [Fragment of the Nine Source Divine Thunder Technique] obtained from Tianheng Thunder Mother.
"Boom!"
The two bolts of lightning clashed head-on, with the black lightning between the split souls flowing upwards, attempting to crush it.
"Done?"
Zhao Xing's true form observed it carefully.
This was only the thirteenth visible lightning tribulation triggered by the split soul, and it had nothing to do with his original self.
"boom!"
Just when Zhao Xing thought that this move, which came from a divine-level thunder technique, would allow him to survive the thirteenth True Spirit Tribulation.
Sudden--
The second lightning bolt appeared and merged with the first to form a new bolt of lightning. The pillar of light expanded rapidly and withstood the attack of the Heavy Water Divine Lightning.
Then came the third fusion, the fourth fusion... When the tribulation lightning fused to the ninth fusion, the lightning magic cast by the divided soul was completely at a disadvantage.
"Oh!"
The tenth tribulation lightning merged, unleashing an overwhelming force that blasted down, reducing the divided soul to dust.
Then, the lightning, carrying the fragments of the divided soul, swept back and disappeared into the void.
"Failed."
Zhao Xing glanced at the panel and found that his amplification was now only 97 times, a reduction of half.
However, he immediately split himself, allowing the newly formed split soul to continue consuming the treasure, and successfully reached the twelfth tribulation level.
The combination of Qi and Divine Bone with the splitting of the Primordial Grass Man Technique is just that heaven-defying.
"The thirteenth tribulation, the tangible lightning tribulation, is comparable in power to the [Heavy Water Divine Lightning] in the Nine Source Divine Lightning Technique. In fact, the origin level of the Heavy Water Divine Lightning is slightly higher than that of the fusion of ten tribulation lightnings."
"However, since the divided soul resides inside the body of the Primordial Grass Man, without the support of a Heavenly Timing Technique similar to the 'Extreme Continent,' and lacking Heavenly Timing Magic Power, I can only rely on the power of the Azure Flower Magic Power and the Red Lotus Magic Power to enhance it. Ultimately, I cannot fully unleash the power of the Heavy Water Divine Thunder," Zhao Xing concluded.
"If it were my true self undergoing these thirteen tribulations, I'm afraid I would only be able to barely pass them."
Zhao Xing abandoned his plan to continue improving, because if he continued, he would have to face the thirteenth True Spirit Tribulation.
If it's just a barely passable improvement, that's not a good thing, but rather a bad thing.
Because by then the fourteenth calamity will become uncontrollable; it won't come whenever he wants.
In that case, we won't be able to fight at full strength, and we'll be hampered.
If it really comes to that, even if his divided soul can continuously consume treasures to condense and replace his original self in undergoing tribulations, the tribulations will still relentlessly destroy the divided soul. He would then be trapped in this vicious cycle of constantly draining his resources. The priest Carlos dared not go all out because he had to suppress himself. He had indeed survived fifteen tribulations, but he feared the sixteenth, having no confidence whatsoever in surviving it.
Even though he failed to survive the thirteenth tribulation, Zhao Xing was still extremely shocked by the terror of the 'Path to Godhood through Destiny'.
“I skipped directly from the Ninth Tribulation True Spirit to the Twelfth Tribulation. No wonder everyone wanted to steal the luck during the Five Emperors era. The Five Emperors Coins were no longer minted, and even this path to godhood was banned by a certain God Emperor… This is truly a shortcut to cultivation.”
"Hmm, I wonder what will happen if I remove the divine bone of the Goddess Xue Rui Zi Zai? Will the True Spirit Tribulation descend once again?"
Zhao Xing's inherent fortune has now been raised to the 21st level. At this point, the Five Emperor Coins no longer provide any additional boost. If he removes the Fortune Divine Bone, he will drop back to the 21st level.
As soon as Zhao Xing had this idea, he had a vague premonition.
"No, you can't take it off."
“If I take it off, I will immediately face the thirteenth True Spirit Tribulation.”
"It seems that the Qi Luck Divine Bone bug cannot be used on a large scale."
Zhao Xing had originally planned to lend the Qi Luck Divine Bone to Ji Si or Lao Liu, so that the strength of the Great Zhou would soar once again. But now it seems that this kind of bug cannot be exploited casually.
"We still need to find a way to improve our permanent fortune. Relying on Xue Rui's divine bones is ultimately a false choice of the Heavenly Dao." Zhao Xing thought to himself with a sense of vigilance.
However, for now, "Qi Yun Shen Gu" is still quite useful.
The forty-fourth boundary star year before the end of the second era of the Desolate Region.
Zhao Xing's clones were dispatched on a large scale to places such as the Black Sky Wasteland, the Sunken Luo Wasteland, the Moon-Controlling Wasteland, and the Ocean-Pancing Wasteland in search of the whereabouts of the evil god.
Thanks to the blessing of the 30th level of fortune, Zhao Xing managed to befriend fifteen 'evil gods' of varying sizes by the 44th year before the end of the Star Realm. While completing the mission for the Boundless True God, he also completed the cycle missions for the fifteen evil gods.
The initial stages of the Evil God quest are largely the same.
Both require collecting Yin and Yang stars and refining soul spirits.
Therefore, Zhao Xing began to purchase large quantities of Yin-Yang Twin Stars.
"I won't steal the Yin-Yang Twin Stars. I can just buy them with money. I can buy some from this star system and some from that star system. Eventually, I can collect them all."
Now that Master Zhao has inherited a considerable amount of the Carlos family's territory, he has no worries about ordinary wealth and can be said to be financially independent.
He couldn't let his reputation, which he had previously built up, be downgraded for such a small gain. So, after informing Gu Luohe, he began to use this worldly wealth to purchase Yin Yang Twin Stars.
But pirates and criminals are harder to buy.
Because of his experience mining the Annihilation Star Ancient Road, coupled with his creation of the Annihilation Star Six Qi Theory, it can be said that he has a need for the Yin-Yang Twin Stars.
But if you buy space pirates and criminals to refine souls, that would be too conspicuous. Some people might even actively turn their subordinates into criminals and space pirates.
"Let's do it ourselves. We can use mental magic to distinguish between space pirates and criminals. We'll feel more at ease if we handle it ourselves."
"What I want is a higher level. Ordinary Origin Realm space pirates and criminals are not enough to satisfy me. Hunting Dao Domain Realm or even Reincarnation Realm is much faster."
"Bula Star, known as the Star of Sin, is located in the southern transition zone of the Xuanling Starfield in the Pan-Ocean Wilderness. There are many powerful and reckless rogue cultivators there, and it is unknown whether they are supported by a powerful force. But it doesn't matter. It will be our first target."
Blah Star is quite famous in the underground world. Some busybodies have compiled a list, and Blah Star is definitely in the top 100.
Whoosh whoosh~
Zhao Xing's numerous clones began to rush towards Bula Star.
……
On the planet Blah, in the territory of the largest space pirate organization, the 'Snow Feather' gang, the space pirate leader 'Fan Yu' was drinking fine wine and watching the dance and music in the main hall.
With delicious food before him and a beautiful woman in his arms, Lord Fanyu was not in a good mood.
"Life has been getting harder and harder lately."
"North of the vast ocean wilderness, it has become increasingly cold over the past three thousand years."
"There are fewer and fewer adventurers and caravans coming and going."
"We also have to hand over most of it to that person... If this continues, the organization won't even be able to maintain its basic operations."
Where does my path lead?
With the overall environment deteriorating, it's not easy for underground forces to operate either.
Lord Fanyu really wanted to clean up his act and quit, but whether he could make it back to the right path was not up to him.
He did so much for the person behind the scenes, and if he suddenly didn't want to do it anymore, the consequence would be death.
"Hey~"
Why does the master sigh?
The beauty in his arms asked coquettishly.
"you……"
Lord Fanyu was about to say something when suddenly the entire hall began to shake.
The seven-layered protective barrier lit up automatically in an instant, and at the same time, several pillars in the hall began to explode, while the seat he was in suddenly sank.
Whoosh! It was instantly swept into a tunnel-like wind tunnel.
The wind tunnel carried his desk in an instant, heading straight for the Earth's core, where a hidden teleportation array was being activated.
"Someone has broken into my lair!"
"The seven-layered barrier was broken in an instant; the person must be a master. But who wants to kill me? Wu Yan from Pengyu Star Continent? No, he doesn't have that ability..."
Lord Fanyu was startled. Since the establishment of the Snow Feather Gang, there had never been such a critical situation.
"The teleportation array will activate in just 346,000 Boundless Hours. Even an ordinary Emperor couldn't kill me, so I should be fine..."
He wasn't too panicked; after all, this was his stronghold, and it wouldn't be so easily taken down.
Lord Fanyu had already seen the light of the magic array, but at that moment, the foundation of the magic array cracked open automatically, and countless clumps of soil tumbled over.
The teleportation array has been replaced by a profound and unfathomable spell!
"not good--"
Before Lord Fanyu could react, the next mechanism was replaced by the Star Shift technique from the Earthly Connection method, and he was teleported into Zhao Xing's palm.
"interesting."
Zhao Xing's Primordial Avatar curiously glanced at Lord Fanyu.
The small Snow Feather Gang has so many magic arrays protecting its lair. These arrays, combined with escape methods, are enough to deal with some ordinary emperors. Even if an emperor at the third or fourth tribulation came, Lord Brahma Feather could easily escape.
"Senior." Lord Fanyu immediately knelt down. When he appeared in Zhao Xing's palm, he immediately realized that he had encountered an extremely powerful expert.
This kind of pressure was even stronger than that of the person behind the scenes to whom he served.
"Senior, please spare my life. I am willing to offer all my wealth and become your slave."
“Alright,” Zhao Xing said calmly. “Enter my Emperor’s Banner and pledge your loyalty.”
"What?! Senior—" Seeing that begging for mercy was ineffective, Lord Fanyu immediately took out a treasure, a pure white feather.
The space around his palm trembled, as if it were about to tear through the void and escape.
"Ok?"
Zhao Xing casually pinched the feather, and all the strange movements disappeared.
Lord Fanyu was stunned. This was the greatest opportunity he had obtained from a ruin in his five eras, all for the purpose of one day breaking free from the control of the person behind him. This treasure was something that no one, unless they were a demigod, could possibly capture. Yet, it had failed!
Could it be that the one capturing him is a demigod?
"What merit do I, Fan Yu, possess to have attracted a demigod to kill me?" Lord Fan Yu felt despair.
"A mere pirate leader like you actually possesses such a treasure? Did you have a stroke of luck, or do you have someone backing you?" Zhao Xing was overjoyed. "Tell me quickly, and if the value you reveal is significant enough, I might spare your life."
Zhao Xing didn't even bother to press for details; Wei Tianchen's medicine was more valuable than this man's life.
"Yes, senior." Lord Fanyu's hope was rekindled upon hearing this.
……
A day later, all members of the Snow Feather Gang vanished without a trace, all entering Zhao Xing's Emperor Banner. The Snow Feather Gang was declared destroyed.
Meanwhile, within the territory of the ancient kingdom of Sanyang, in the domain of a king.
swoosh~
Zhao Xing forcibly entered the barrier and directly descended into the capital.
"Who?!"
A young man dressed in magnificent robes and wearing a crown looked at the person who had appeared before him in surprise.
"You are the Snow Moon Emperor, right?"
"Who are you, sir, daring to trespass into the Snow Moon Palace?" The Snow Moon Emperor was astonished and uncertain. He was the son of the previous king and the younger brother of the current king. How could someone dare to force their way into his palace?
“It’s definitely you.” Zhao Xing opened his palm, and the little Lord Fan Yu knelt in it. “You’ve controlled a lot of space pirate organizations to satisfy your selfish desires. In the past two eras, you’ve killed more than 300 billion people. You’ve even harmed many of your own country’s own people.”
Zhao Xing recalled Lord Fanyu's report. He had heard that the Snow Moon Emperor would usually dump the people he captured on a planet and would also gather the country's nobles to hold a 'hunting banquet' to play with them before killing them.
He doesn't kill servants who aren't breaking the law, preferring to have regular citizens, or even geniuses at the Dao Domain Realm or Origin Realm.
Sometimes, when he gets tired of playing around, the Snow Moon Emperor will pretend to be a savior and rescue geniuses from certain forces to gain a good reputation.
The thrill of setting and then trampling on rules is something that the Snow Moon Emperor finds irresistible.
"Your Excellency should meddle in my affairs. My brother is the King of the Three Suns Kingdom, and my father is Venerable Lei Yang. You have forcibly entered my palace..."
swoosh~
Seeing that he didn't even pretend and directly admitted it, Zhao Xing was too lazy to waste any more words. After recording it with the Star Mirror, he immediately reached out and grabbed it.
"Oh!"
Emperor Xueyue resisted desperately, but those five fingers were like a mountain, ignoring his many treasures and grabbing him firmly.
"Chi~"
Emperor Xueyue was thrown into the Human Emperor Banner and was instantly refined.
"That's right, catching this one is worth as much as catching countless Dao Domain Realm Origin Realm cultivators."
The moment immediately after Emperor Xueyue died.
hum~
A rift suddenly appeared in the void outside the palace.
The current ruler of the Three Yang Kingdom appeared riding a mechanical treasure river.
"Who is it? Who dares to kill my own brother!"
The ruler of the Three Yang Kingdom spoke angrily.
Zhao Xing, too lazy to waste words, directly revealed his true colors before attempting to speak again.
"Well done."
The anger in the voice of the King of Sanyang vanished instantly, replaced by a smile.
"..."
Zhao Xing was caught off guard by the rapid change in the attitude of the Three Yang Kingdom ruler.
"Doesn't the king ever ask why?"
The ruler of the Three Yang Kingdom shook his head and said, "Given Zhao Sinong's prestige, the fact that he personally came to my Three Yang Ancient Kingdom to kill my brother must have a reason. Either he has committed an unforgivable crime, or he has betrayed the human race... I must thank Zhao Sinong."
"If you're willing to tell me the reason, I'd be extremely grateful; if you don't, I understand."
"With the King presiding over the Three Yang Kingdom, it will surely prosper." Zhao Xing couldn't help but sincerely praise it.
"Whoosh~"
Zhao Xing took out a record from the Star Mirror and passed it on to the ruler of the Three Yang Kingdom.
"The whole story is here. I happened to be passing by the planet Blah when I discovered these things."
Upon seeing this, the King of Sanyang immediately flew into a rage for the second time: "Well done! Xueyue is a disgrace to my royal family. Minister Zhao has truly rid us of a scourge..."
Zhao Xing was unsure whether the King of Sanyang was acting or truly selfless.
Regardless, this person certainly has the makings of a ruler.
"I'm leaving. You can handle the aftermath however you like."
Zhao Xing declined the banquet offered by the King of Sanyang, thus giving him face.
Not long after, the ruler of the Three Yang Kingdom announced that his younger brother, Emperor Xueyue, had died from a cultivation mishap that caused him to go mad.
……
Seven years later, in the thirty-seventh year before the end of the Second Era of the Desolate Region.
The number of powerful figures in the Xuanling Starfield who have "gone mad" has increased to twenty-eight.
Of the top 100 space pirate forces, 17 were wiped out.
……
Fourteen years later, in the thirtieth year to the end of the second era of the Desolate Region.
The number of ancient kingdoms whose members have gone mad or died due to accidents during adventures has increased to eighty-four.
The number of pirate forces destroyed has increased to twenty-nine.
At first, the death of the Emperor was newsworthy; for example, the death of Emperor Xueyue attracted some attention.
However, gradually, such news was no longer considered a big deal.
Upon hearing this, some cultivators could only lament the difficulty of cultivation, noting that even emperors could suffer from demonic possession and die in their adventures.
……
"How strange." Venerable Fuping arrived at the intelligence department of the Ancient Kingdom Alliance and was reviewing information related to space pirate forces. "How come even killing space pirates is being robbed?"
"Could it be that there are still many demigod-level followers of evil gods?"
Zhao Xing was very efficient. His Primordial Avatar was already a Twelve Tribulation True Spirit, so he was naturally faster than Venerable Fuping.
“Many of the easy-to-kill ones have already been killed; those who are difficult to kill are the ones left behind,” Venerable Fuping observed.
Some space pirate organizations are actually a front, arranged by certain demigods to spy on the demon race.
Zhao Xing would not take any action against such an organization once it was discovered.
"Never mind, let's search slowly." Venerable Fuping didn't seem to care much.
As long as those areas are not governed by rules and have order, the destroyed space pirate organizations will eventually reappear, and the dark side of the world will always exist!
Because there are always cultivators who are unwilling to abide by the rules and prefer to believe in the law of the jungle, this is also why the Shadow Temple has so many clients and assassins.
"The rule is to complete the third mission within fifty years. If there aren't many opportunities in the human territory, then we'll have to go and see what the demon territory is like," Venerable Fuping thought to himself.
Venerable Fuping slid his finger across the Star Mirror, his mind entering a void space within the Star Mirror. This was a city of the mind, and because the sky was surrounded by ten thousand stars that fixed this city of the mind, it was also called the "City of Ten Thousand Stars".
Wanxing City is a place for Venerables who are candidates for the Divine Realm to communicate.
Not all demigods accepted the mission of infiltrating the evil god; such people are only a minority, and they are not afraid of being exposed.
Venerable Fuping didn't put all his eggs in one basket. He frequently visited [Wanxing City] to make friends and see if he could find some relatively easy contribution-point quests. The human race's higher-ups hoped for healthy competition among the demigods, while also hoping that they could unite and develop friendships. Many demigods would even call on their friends to challenge a particular contribution-point quest together.
As soon as his mind entered Wanxing City, Venerable Fuping appeared in a private room of a restaurant.
At this moment, Venerable Fuping overheard his friend, Venerable Saint Wing, chatting with three other demigods, who seemed to be mentioning the Crimson Star Empire and the Primordial Realm.
"...Holy Wing, what are you talking about?" After Venerable Fuping appeared, he sat down in his usual seat.
“Fu Ping, you’ve come at the right time,” said Venerable Saint Wing. “We were just talking about a candidate who has risen very quickly, gaining more than 10,000 places in just over a decade.”
"Which one?" Venerable Fuping has been busy with evil god missions for the past ten years or so and has come to Wanxing City relatively rarely.
“Zhao Xing, the original envoy of the Crimson Star Empire,” said Venerable Saint Wing. “His contribution ranking has been steadily increasing every year, rising by more than 14,000 places in the past fourteen years.”
"Oh? Is it Zhao Xing, the demigod of agriculture who wrote the two great treatises?" Venerable Fuping nodded: "I've heard of him. It's said that he has only been cultivating for over ten thousand years. I didn't expect him to enter the candidate for the divine realm so quickly."
"One should strive to become a god as early as possible," said another demigod dressed in black and gold robes with three golden runes on his cheeks. "Young geniuses like him have a better chance. We old folks who have lived for a long time don't have as many opportunities as he does."
"I hope Zhao Xing succeeds." Another demigod took a sip of wine. "If we can have another god of agriculture, our future will be easier."
“Indeed.” Venerable Saint Wing and the other demigod nodded in unison. They were both veteran Venerables who had traveled through time and space to fight in the Time and Space Territory several times. They were well aware of the help that the existence of a God of Agriculture could provide to their side.
"Last time, I encountered the God of Azure Elm in the Ancient Kingdom of Tianyou in the 23rd Era of the Desolate Domain. At that time, I was tracking an enemy demigod to the Lixing River, and I encountered the Lixing River Transformation..." Venerable Saint Wing recalled. "That kind of natural disaster was too terrifying. If I hadn't happened to run into the God of Azure Elm passing by, I would probably be dead."
"I've heard that Zhao Sinong has some connection with the God of Azure Elm," said the demigod in black and gold robes. "Holy Wing, could you invite Zhao Xing to a gathering?"
“I’ve only met Qingyu Zizai God once, and we didn’t even exchange more than a few words,” Shengyi laughed. “Wanying, if anyone should be invited, it should be you. You’re much more famous than me, and you have more influence.”
"Haha," Venerable Wan Ying laughed, "How about the four of us start a game, and we all try to invite Zhao Xing to Wanxing City for a get-together? 10 contribution points, how about a little game?"
“Gao Yu is a Destiny Venerable, how can we play this game?” Venerable Fuping looked at another person, “Wan Ying, you’re just giving him money.”
"How could I possibly predict Zhao Xing's fate? This situation is fair to me as well," Venerable Haoyu said with a smile.
"If you're going to play, play big, how about 20?"
"Come!"
"participate."
After everyone else agreed, Venerable Wan Ying revealed a victorious smile: "Hahaha, you guys just obediently pay up. I know Zhao Xing's teacher."
"Damn it, why didn't you say so earlier!" Venerable Fuping was furious.
"Fu Ping, you've really done a good job helping the poor this time."
"Hahaha."
…………
Zhao Xing had no idea that his fourteen years of reporting on the followers of the evil god and frantically completing contribution tasks had already earned him a considerable reputation among the demigods.
His reputation soared, its influence spreading to higher and higher levels and wider areas, eventually reaching even core locations like Wanxing City.
Of course, he was unaware that Venerable Saint Wing, Venerable Fuping, Venerable Wanying, and Venerable Haoyu wanted to get to know him, and had even made a bet.
At this moment, he had completed the first task of the Boundless True God and was bringing a large number of Yin-Yang Star Cores and Soul Spirits to the Black Sky Wasteland.
"The mission was completed in fourteen years. I wonder if the Boundless True God will be surprised." A small boat emitted a few points of light as Zhao Xing sat cross-legged under the Black Moon Tree.
To complete the gathering task in fourteen years is remarkably fast. Ordinary followers of evil gods could never achieve Zhao Xing's speed; they usually have to slowly kill low-level cultivators, spending time accumulating souls—trading time for space.
"On the human side, I've been constantly reporting these things for the past fourteen years, and I've accumulated 97 contribution points," Zhao Xing thought to himself. After all, there aren't many demigods who betray their allegiance to become true followers of evil gods. Low-level evil gods don't dare to bewitch demigods; if it's just an ordinary Reincarnation Realm cultivator, or even a Dao Domain Realm cultivator, the contribution points they give are relatively few.
"97 is not a small number. As I progress through the rings and climb higher in status on the side of the evil god, the panel's function will truly come into play."
The strongest known evil god is undoubtedly the incarnation of the Lord of Cold Food, who is at the God King realm.
Secondly, there are Tianheng Leimu and Wuliang Zhenshen. The other dozen or so evil gods he came into contact with were all free gods at the level of divine weapons, and they had not yet made a significant contribution to Zhao Xing.
"arrive!"
Zhao Xing stopped in a certain area of the Black Sky Wasteland. He made the Black Sky Moon Tree shine and discovered that the location of this 'pilgrimage' was on a desolate star continent.
This time, there was no need to climb the mountain, and the temple did not appear in advance. There was only a simple magic array foundation on the desolate star continent. Zhao Xing took out the statue and began to summon the Boundless True God.
