Chapter 545 Change of Identity, Protector of Penglai Mountain
Before the first fortuitous event, Zhao Xing had explored the situation of various departments and tribes. At that time, he learned that the Divine Martial Department in the As Sea had about thirty-six demigods who had descended, one of whom, named 'Sulong', caught his attention.

Each department and tribe was responsible for different depths and locations in the sea.

The Mountain Patrol Gods are responsible for the three-level seamounts and trenches. Most of these areas are underwater planting bases. For example, the Qigong Peak area, which Liu Qingci was previously in charge of, is a planting site for 'Yuanhai Bamboo'.

The Divine Martial Division is responsible for maintaining the underwater cities in the middle layer of the ocean, which belongs to the second-level sea area. The artifact that Zhao Xing found in the legacy of the Beast God Tibu is a relic created after the underwater city fell.

"Brother Han, I have a few questions," Liu Qingci asked.

"Please speak," Zhao Xing nodded.

"Even if you can determine which of the Divine Warriors are among the invaders."

"However, for the arrivals, each identity brings its own opportunities, which are manifested in the events they encounter after acquiring that identity."

Liu Qingci drew a layered map of the sea area.

"The area under the jurisdiction of the Minister of Agriculture and the area under the jurisdiction of the martial artists are adjacent."

"However, there are ocean currents separating the lower-level marine mountains from the middle-level sea city, so the change in the sacred mountain will not have a significant impact on the middle-level sea city area."

"Therefore, the envoys of the Divine Martial Division will almost never participate in the opportunity of the 'Divine Mountain Earth Change'."

"Just like we won't get involved in other serendipitous events."

"If you're going to frame them, at least give them a chance to step down."

"How can this be done?"

The question raised by Liu Qingci was also the same question that most of the deputy envoys were concerned about.

Different departments have different responsibilities, and the opportunities and events triggered by the arrivals are different, and they also occur in different locations.

Therefore, during the first two changes in the sacred mountain, the patrolling officials did not see any other professions appear, nor were any other departments involved.

"A very good question." Zhao Xing nodded: "Whether it's a geological upheaval or a leak, it should be a matter for the Ministry of Agriculture to handle. The people from the Divine Martial Bureau coming down to the bottom sea area are just meddling in other people's business."

"The Descendants will not randomly seek opportunities that do not belong to them, lest they add to their karma and expose their identities."

"The encounters of the Divine Martial Division and the Mountain Patrol Division are like two parallel lines, which under normal circumstances have no possibility of intersecting."

"But what if the changes at the underwater sacred mountain affect the sea city in the middle layer of the ocean?"

Zhao Xing pointed and tapped several times on Liu Qingci's water map.

Red dots appeared in the underground sea, shimmering with a faint light.

Liu Qingci was somewhat taken aback: "You mean..."

"That's right, let's assume that in the next change of the sacred mountain, the underground volcano erupts."

"And the sea cities in the middle layer of the ocean are just above the submarine volcanic eruption, carried by the ocean currents."

Then—bang!

A beam of red light erupted from the water map, causing the floating sea city in the middle layer of the ocean to fall into the deeper waters and disappear into the darkness.

After reading it, Liu Qingci fell silent, silently calculating in his mind, and then nodded: "I have no objection."

"Wait a minute, how could the eruption have hit Haicheng so directly?" Venerable Tangyou asked.

"Whether you are the Minister of Agriculture or not, do you still need to ask Venerable Han?" Chu Ji sneered, "Is it difficult for the Minister of Agriculture of the Geographical Advantage Faction to make a volcano erupt? Why do you still need to ask why?"

"The upheaval at Mount Shenshan is a disaster in itself. We could have stayed far away from that volcano, or simply suppressed the timing of its eruption, or even found those four deputy envoys who weren't the arrival of the fallen to act as scapegoats. That would have achieved our goal and completely absolved us of any responsibility..."

"Venerable Han, this plan is truly brilliant! Chu Ji is impressed." Chu Ji ended his speech with a compliment.

"Chu Ji, what are you showing off for, you country bumpkin?!" Venerable Tang You was speechless with anger after being bombarded with Chu Ji's words.

His roots are in the egoist school, but he has also learned a lot from the geography school.

He was just a little slow to react to the issue of underwater volcanoes in the primeval ocean.

But Chu Ji's sharp retort made him seem very ignorant.

"This country bumpkin keeps running to Han Bing's cave, and he's getting more and more arrogant." Venerable Tangyou was so angry that his teeth itched.

"You dare call me a country bumpkin?" Chu Ji was also a little angry.

The era in which Chu Ji lived was a time of war and chaos, with weak spiritual energy, constant natural disasters, and a decline in the flourishing of cultural heritage.

Chu Ji had no powerful master to rely on, so in the eyes of a disciple of God like Venerable Tang You, wouldn't he just be a complete country bumpkin?
The two immediately started arguing.

“Chu Ji has grown a lot.” Lei Hong watched the two arguing with a cold eye. “For the past few hundred years, he has been going to Han Bing’s cave every day. It seems that he has learned a lot.”

Zhao Xing certainly taught Chu Ji some things, but what kind of leader would personally step in to defend himself? At many meetings, it was Chu Ji who was always the vanguard, charging forward.

Zhao Xing was also very satisfied with Chu Ji's performance.

However, it cannot be shown on the surface.

"Enough! What's all the noise about?"

Zhao Xing shouted, and the argument between the two immediately stopped.

"Chu Ji, does Venerable Tang You not understand these principles? You are being rude!"

Chu Ji immediately apologized to Venerable Tangyou: "Venerable Tangyou, I was rude just now, please forgive my impulsiveness."

Venerable Tangyou's attitude remained firm, but he took this opportunity to back down, bowing to Zhao Xing and saying, "Venerable Han, I also have my faults."

The dispute was quickly quelled, and Zhao Xing continued explaining the plan.

As Liu Qingci watched Zhao Xing's plan progress, she couldn't help but nod in approval.

Geniuses are often unruly, let alone a group of geniuses together.

It's quite remarkable that Zhao Xing could keep these people under his control.

In terms of combat strength, he may not be stronger than the whole group, but if he is just a little bit stronger, and with some additional methods, he can make this small group effective.

“When the God of Freedom teaches his disciples, he often teaches them how to protect themselves and avoid getting involved in karma. But the true God does the opposite; he uses karma to his advantage.”

"If I were in charge of these people, I would never have thought of targeting the Divine Martial Division's descendants. They truly deserve to be disciples of the Boundless True God."

Over the centuries of interaction, Liu Qingci felt that Zhao Xing's style of doing things was not old-fashioned, but she never thought that Zhao Xing was a person from the Desolate Region Era. She only thought that this was a slight difference caused by different masters.

"The opportune moment is still three years away, but we need to start taking action now."

"Lei Hong, Quan De, Yi Kun, you guys take care of the crater."

"No need for many, just select ten or eight from the Cangdai volcanic group."

"Yue Zhen, Gao Shan, Yang He, Xu Huai, and Zhuo Hua, you are responsible for external supervision and eliminating uncertainties."

"Chu Ji, Huang Liang, you two go and make contact with the four deputy envoys of the Mountain Patrol Division and keep an eye on them."

"Venerable Yusheng, I entrust the monitoring and concealment of heavenly secrets to you."

"Yes!"

……

Everyone began to act according to the plan. Those who could enter the secret realm were all experts among experts, and their ability to do things was beyond doubt.

Zhao Xing wasn't idle either; he started pestering Bowei to evaluate his plan.

"Evaluation? You want me to point out your shortcomings, right?" Bovi's voice drifted out from within the transmission realm.

"Elder, you are truly remarkable, with discerning eyes," Zhao Xing complimented from outside the courtyard gate.

"Heroes create the times, and the times create heroes." Bowei said slowly. Today he was dressed as a fortune teller, and with the golden headband of the Great Dao, he looked a bit like a charlatan.

"If you try to use the people from the Divine Martial Division as scapegoats, then you are controlling the course of this event. There's nothing to say about the plan itself; it all depends on how it's executed. If you execute it well, you can profit; if you execute it poorly, you're essentially changing a part of the history of the Spaceship, and the consequences will be severe."

Bowei said calmly, "It's best to have a scapegoat on both sides. I think Liu Qingci is quite good."

Zhao Xing was speechless. Was Bowei teaching him to sell out his teammates?

Bowei: "Liu Qingci was only forced to sign a causal contract with you. She is a demigod in the evil god camp, a disciple of an evil god's priest. You don't think this is betrayal, do you?"

"The Divine Objects Division is using the Descendant Asuron as a scapegoat, while the Mountain Patrol Division is using Liu Qingci as a scapegoat. Your plan can be considered safe."

"Elder, is there any other way?" Zhao Xing asked.

“Since you don’t intend to agree to this method,” Bowei tossed a Taoist book over, “then you’ll have to put in the effort yourself. This is a method of forcibly driving away cause and effect, called the ‘Thousand Threads Fruit’.”

"If you can master it within three years, you can use causal threads to interfere with your enemies."

“Other beings, even with divine protection, cannot immediately pull people away through the causal chain.”

"However, the price is that you will be hated by many gods."

"Why would I be afraid of this?" Zhao Xing smiled and immediately took the Taoist book.

……

Three years later, in 573, on the eve of the upheaval at Shenshan.

Asuron has been feeling quite agitated lately, with a feeling that something big is about to happen.

However, judging from the cause and effect chart, my chance value fluctuates between 40 and 50, showing no signs of decreasing.

So where does this feeling come from?
"I've obtained the identity of the Director of the Divine Martial Bureau here, and I've already experienced one fortuitous event. The next fortuitous event will be in the second solar year."

"It's only the first solar year, 573. Logically, we shouldn't have this feeling. Could it be that some additional event is about to be triggered?"

Is it good or bad?

Asura entered the scene 200 years ago, between the first and second changes in the sacred mountain.

However, martial artists have their own opportunities and events, and Asuron was involved in the [Solar and Lunar Eclipse] event.

The solar and lunar eclipses refer to the unusual phenomena that occurred between a super sun star and a moon star hidden on the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ship.

During this abnormal celestial cycle, there will be opportunities to secretly collect the [Sun God Essence] and [Moon God Essence] for body refinement.

During the previous solar eclipse, Asuron collected over three hundred drops of the sun god's essence, which has now transformed into a divine bone.

The next one will be a lunar eclipse. Logically, he should have to wait more than a thousand years for it to happen, but now he has an instinctive premonition.

I had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.

"Is it an illusion?"

Unable to sleep, Asuron left his courtyard and went to the top of Bifang City.

Bifang City is the largest city in the middle layer of the sea.

This place is inhabited by some underwater races, as well as a small number of humans.

Bifang City drifts with the ocean currents; only at this depth is it suitable for the underwater races to survive.

Their unique life structure means that these marine creatures are prone to dying once they float to the surface, and if they go any deeper, they are also easily crushed by the terrifying water pressure.

Of course, Asuron doesn't need to worry about the operation of Bifang City; that's the job of the array masters. He only needs to maintain order among the various races.

The spaceship could be described as crowded. Even though it was large enough, there was too much life, so much so that people even lived in the ocean.

As soon as Asuron flew onto the city wall, he saw two sea beasts of the same kind but different species fighting outside the city.

"It's those two little guys from the Yuan Snake Clan, fighting again." Asuron glanced at them coldly. "A beast is a beast. Even though they've reached the Reincarnation Realm, they still can't suppress their nature."

Asuron was about to reprimand them when he noticed that the two Yuan snakes seemed to have been frightened and suddenly swam away.

Asura's heart suddenly began to pound violently.

He suddenly looked down at the seabed and saw that the ocean currents separating the deep sea from the middle layer of the ocean had disappeared.

The once clear seawater began to ripple and swell, creating countless horizontal waves, and a wisp of fire emerged from the dark seabed.

"What?! This is..."

Asuron's body suddenly sank.

The entire city of Bifang began to shake.

……

[In the first solar year, 574, the fortuitous event 'Mountain of Divine Transformation' was triggered, causing the divine essence to transform into Earth God Crystals, breaking through the mountain range barrier.]

Your luck stat in this event has increased to 82 points.

"The third transformation of the sacred mountain has begun."

In a cave on a high underwater mountain, Zhao Xing looked at the dark sea, where chaotic, turbid air surged.

"This time it lasted shorter, but it came on more violently."

Swish swish swish~
Zhao Xing used the Four Pillars Mystic Gate technique to continuously shift positions.

They quickly found a relatively high vantage point, looking out at a group of underwater volcanoes, and then looked up at the sky above.

"The rising turbid air first broke through the ocean current layer, which altered the seabed veins."

"But at this point it still won't affect the mid-level sea area, we still need to put in more effort."

Zhao Xing silently calculated the cycle.

In April of 574, Zhao Xing telepathically communicated with the descending guardians of the mountain patrol.

"Do it!"

In early April, there was a loud bang.

The underwater volcanic cluster of Sodai volcanoes erupted completely, with the eight largest active volcanoes being the most ferocious.

Eight red beams of light surged up from the seabed, piercing through multiple water vein buffer zones along their way.

Three of these volcanoes ejected large amounts of material into the middle layers of the ocean.

At this time, Bifang City was already situated on the last major sea vein. If the Divine Mountain Earth Change broke through this barrier, the entire Bifang City would fall into the deep sea.

However, Zhao Xing only listened to half of Bowei's advice and did not direct all eight active volcanoes toward Bifang City, so Bifang City was not in danger of collapsing.

However, a pile of Earth God Crystals was scattered into the middle layer of the sea by the impact of the three volcanoes.

In the outer sea area of ​​Bifang City, Asuron, who was leading a patrol, was maintaining order.

Suddenly, his vision was drawn to a bright light.

"what is that?"

Asuron looked in that direction and saw a faint orange glow in the seawater.

They dotted the dark sea like stars.

He immediately recognized it as a precious divine object!

"My God! It's Earth God Crystal?"

"Whoosh!" Asuron instantly teleported over. "It really is an Earth God Crystal!"

"Drink!" Asuron shouted, shattering the mud, sand, and rocks in the sea and creating a vacuum zone.

As a result, more Earth God Crystals were exposed.

"Hiss, so many Earth God Crystals!" Asuron's eyes lit up immediately.

He continued downhill and soon arrived at the boundary between the middle and deep sea.

"If they found so much up there, wouldn't they find even more down there? However, my karmic burden is also increasing, and getting involved in other events might be dangerous..."

However, Asuron only hesitated for a moment before being drawn to even more divine light from the seabed.

"Wouldn't it be a waste not to take it now? The Earth God Crystal is a treasure! What's the difference between seizing any opportunity?"

In that instant, many philosophical truths flashed through Asuron's mind, such as fortune favors the bold and that refusing a gift from heaven would only bring misfortune.

With a whoosh, Asuron gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the chaos in the heavens, immediately rushed down.

In another direction, the descendant 'Wu Zhen' also encountered many Earth God Crystals.

"The fact that so many Earth God Crystals were thrown up must be due to a serendipitous event at the Divine Mountain."

"Could it be that being in the Divine Martial Division also triggers this fortuitous event?"

Although Wu Zhen had doubts, triggering additional fortuitous events was always a possibility.

I never imagined there would be another Descendant's conspiracy involved.

"There are too many people around Bifang City, so if we're going to try to fish, we should go down there."

"At this moment, Bifang City is shaken. I will take this opportunity to go down into the deep sea. As long as I come up early, there should be no problem."

……

"Holy crap, so many Earth God Crystals, did they trigger an additional divine-level opportunity event?"

"We're rich! We're rich! This is a golden opportunity bestowed upon us by the earth!"

A bald, burly man carrying a large knife immediately jumped into the deep sea.

……

"I actually triggered an extra lucky event just by coming here? Hahaha, my teacher said I have great luck, and it's true."

Sword Tomb Venerable laughed heartily, swallowed the Earth God Crystal in one gulp, and rushed down below.

"Hmm, there might be some demigods among the mountain patrol officers, but that's fine too, I can frame them."

……

All those who descended from the Divine Warrior Division triggered this extra opportunity event.

Of the thirty-six arrivals, half succumbed to temptation and went straight into the sea.

A small number of people, such as Venerable Jianling, Asuron, and Wuzhen, also went down, but they didn't act recklessly. They all planned to find other descendants and make them take the blame.

Reduce the burden on your true spirit.

As for how to identify the Descendants?
You can find out by secretly following someone and seeing if they will try to take the Earth God Crystal for themselves.

It's not easy to tell under normal circumstances, but it becomes apparent in certain situations.

"Including the chief and deputy envoys, there are 36 patrol officers in total. Hopefully, we can find the descendant among them," Asuron thought to himself.

……

The deep sea, the guardian deity patrolling the mountains.

Zhao Xing was observing the situation when a caterpillar scurried over and jumped into his palm: "Venerable Han, it's on the hook! The fish has taken the bait!" "How many people have been spotted?"

"I found six, and after Xu Huai transformed, I sensed thirteen more. These martial artists all came down secretly."

"Hehe, I didn't expect so many visitors. Venerable Han is indeed a prophet!"

Under normal circumstances, the people of the Divine Warrior Division are not allowed to come down. Without a transfer order or clear official document, they should not come to the deep sea area or get close to the sacred mountain.

Even if it's an emergency and one has to act expediently, one should at least send an official document beforehand to inform the mountain patrol deity and come down under the guise of helping.

But the fact that these people chose to sneak down almost certainly means they are the Descendants.

Zhao Xing had previously told Xu Huai and Chu Ji that the Divine Martial Division had sent beings to descend, but many people did not believe it.

Zhao Xing is not a god, so how could he know other people's identities?

But now that I see it, I believe it all.

Zhao Xing wasn't smug: "There are quite a few people coming down, so we still need to be careful and not let anything go wrong."

"Chu Ji, keep an eye on them."

"Venerable Yusheng, tell all the visitors to change their group size from three to five."

"We must ensure that we have an absolute crushing advantage when facing these sneaky guys."

"understood."

……

On the side of the Mountain Patrol Gods, including Zhao Xing, there were exactly thirty visitors.

Because there were too many scapegoats, the last window of opportunity for the transformation of the sacred mountain was only three years.

So, after 574 years, Zhao Xing decisively abandoned the solo search and divided the team into six groups of five to round up the martial artists.

March, 575.

The Sword Tomb Venerable, his body shimmering with golden light, formed a sword barrier on the seabed and appeared on a mountain peak.

He had just split open a mountain peak and obtained a batch of Earth God Crystals.

"In the past year, I have acquired nearly 3000 cubic meters of Earth God Crystals."

“My karmic burden has also increased considerably, and it’s almost time for me to leave.”

"It's a pity I didn't encounter any other visitors, otherwise I could have forced them to help me share the burden... Hmm?"

Sword Tomb Venerable really does have his wishes come true. As soon as he thought that, he immediately saw five figures descending from the sky.

Zhao Xing, Yue Zhen, Lei Hong, Quan De, and Tang You had already surrounded Venerable Jianling.

"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you steal a divine artifact! Surrender at once!"

“You…” Venerable Jianling frowned, because he sensed that these five people were not simple.

Sword Tomb Venerable wanted to find a scapegoat for the Descendants, but he never expected that he himself would become the scapegoat in the eyes of others.

As soon as Zhao Xing and his group of five began to make their move, Venerable Jianling's expression immediately changed.

……

Meanwhile, Venerable Wuzhen was tracking something in the trench.

"Strange, I clearly saw someone absorbing the Earth God Crystal just now. This person is definitely a Descendant. I followed him here, but why did he disappear all of a sudden?"

Just as Wu Zhen was still wondering, a three-eyed thunder lion suddenly emerged from the cave.

"Are you looking for me?"

"Hou Bianfa?" Wu Zhen sneered. "You really are a Descendant!"

"You mere Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Timing Sect, how dare you turn against me! I'll give you a way out: immediately hand over the cleansed Earth God Crystal, or else..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a hoof suddenly broke through the hillside where Wu Zhen was standing.

"boom!"

The waves rolled, and a shrunken Di Cang, suppressing its divine power, appeared on the rocky hillside.

"You look down on the Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Time Sect?" Di Cang stared coldly at Wu Zhen.

"Swish, swish, swish~"

Three more transformed Si Nongs and five strange demonic beasts appeared around Wu Zhen, surrounding him completely.

"Oh no! There are too many!"

Wu Zhen was startled.

……

Zhao Xing led the Mountain Patrol Guards to act as spies, no longer personally taking the Earth God Crystals, but simply following behind the martial artists and ambushing them.

By 576, the final year of the transformation of the sacred mountain.

Liu Qingci reported a problem:
"Brother Han, there are still seven people with negative karma, including myself, who cannot be corrected. What do you plan to do?"

“I understand,” Zhao Xing replied. “Those who have not yet returned to the right cause and effect, come to me immediately.”

Liu Qingci then asked her teacher, "Teacher, do you think Han Bing might take this opportunity to make us scapegoats?"

"If the mountain patrol chief also has a scapegoat, he will be even safer."

"It's hard to say," General Yin Zai replied. "Anything is possible when there's profit to be made. You've gained too much this time. If Han Bing wants to trick you, he has the upper hand. Be careful."

……

Liu Qingci and his seven companions arrived at Zhao Xing's side, but the expected battle did not occur.

Zhao Xing did not choose to betray his teammates, even if they were a hastily assembled group.

He looked at the seven people, including Liu Qingci, and simply said, "Come with me."

shuh~
The seven people followed with some skepticism.

At this moment, eight vortex channels appeared in the sky above Qigong Peak.

Zhao Xing and Liu Qingci, along with seven others, waited there.

The tail of the vortex leads to the middle-level sea city, with earth god crystals strung together like beads in the vortex passage.

"This is a cleansed Earth God Crystal, leading to Sea City. Someone will be coming down soon, you know what to do, right?"

Liu Qingci was somewhat surprised. Zhao Xing was actually willing to use the Earth God Crystal that he had used to clear his name as bait? These things might not be able to be retrieved!

"coming!"

Zhao Xing stared upwards.

Among the eight passages, the first figure appeared: a green-haired martial artist surrounded by six daggers stealthily emerged.

"drink!"

As soon as he appeared, he was immediately suppressed by Zhao Xing and others.

"You, you all..." The green-haired martial artist suddenly realized something.

"Make your move," Zhao Xing ordered in a low voice.

Immediately, an unclaimed ring was forcibly shoved into the martial artist's hand.

Chichi~
Blood dripped from the martial artist's chest, and the unclaimed ring was forcibly claimed as its owner.

"Holy crap! What are you doing?!" The martial artist was terrified after he recognized the ring as his master.

Because there are actually 10,000 cubic meters of divine crystals inside!
I'm just here to snag a bargain!
Why do you do this to me?

Ten thousand cubic meters of Earth God Crystals—how much karmic burden would that require?
"Chichi~"

The causal threads generated on the ring began to wrap around the green-haired warrior.

The heavy burden caused him to begin to feel rejected by this world. His cultivation technique became unstable, and his blood and qi attacked his heart. He immediately fell to the brink of qi deviation.

He tried desperately to resolve the situation, but the burden of so many causes and effects was still too heavy for him.

The other party was on the verge of collapse.

"Pfft~"

Zhao Xing cut off his arm.

"Go!" Then, with lightning speed, he kicked the other party back into the sky and the sea.

Zhao Xing looked at Liu Qingci, who nodded: "It's working. My causal value has returned to five points, and it's positive now."

"Next person!"

…………

The warriors of Haicheng descended like rain. Tempted by the Earth God Crystal, of the thirty-six warriors of the Divine Martial Division, only five of the descendants did not come down.

It wasn't that they resisted the temptation, but rather that they already had a lot of karmic burdens that hadn't been resolved, and their karmic threads were entangled, making them afraid to engage with any additional opportunities or events.

Those who came down were all quite skilled, at least in resolving karmic issues.

However, these martial arts geniuses had a terrible year.

In early 577, the upheaval at Mount Shen ended, and this time, the God of the Azure Clouds and the God of the Divine Martial Division, Bi Fang, appeared even faster.

Almost immediately after it ended, they appeared before the invaders.

When Venerable Jianling awoke, he found himself back in Bifang City, having been transported back by a flying boat.

Standing before him was a deity, none other than Bifang, the free god of the Divine Martial Division.

"Greetings, Divine Lord!" Venerable Jianling quickly stood up.

"Tell me, what's inside this?" Bi Fangwei said solemnly, holding a ring in his hand.

When Venerable Jianling took the ring, he discovered that it contained a pile of Earth God Crystals.

"Your Majesty, I... I'm innocent!"

"Who put the Earth God Crystal in my storage ring?!"

"Still trying to argue? You're asking for it!"

Bifang opened its mouth wide and immediately swallowed Jianling Venerable.

The "Thousand Threads Fruit" entangles the body, causing chaos in the causal lines, which in turn prevents many of the protectors of the Descendants from pulling their protectors out of the Cosmic Ark incident through the causal lines.

However, it is not very effective for some people.

Take, for example, a formidable opponent like Asuron.

"Han Bing, you're the one who orchestrated all of this! You deserve to die!"

"But you won't have it easy either!"

After meeting Bifang and Biluo Zizai Shen, Asuron knew that his adventure was over.

His causal value skyrocketed and couldn't be suppressed no matter what explanations were given; Bifang wouldn't listen.

"big big big!"

Asuron roared, and his body was suddenly covered with a layer of snowflake-like ice crystals.

"You're courting death!" When Bifang and Biluo Zizai Shen arrived, they found that Asulong dared to resist, so they immediately attacked and suppressed him.

Faced with the suppression of the two great gods, Asuron immediately broke free from the Thousand Threads Fruit's restraints and no longer wanted to stay here in a subservient manner.

Instead, they chose to resist and take a gamble.

He had to withstand the pressure from Biluo Zizai God, kill Bifang God, kill Zhao Xing and the other descendants, then seize all the Earth God Crystals and escape.

"Retreat! He has broken free from the Thousand Silk Fruit's restraints."

Just before Asuron went berserk, Bovi gave a warning, and Zhao Xing immediately retreated.

Biluo Zizai God immediately moved Zhao Xing to another mountain.

"boom!"

Three divine lights erupted, namely Asuron, Biluo, and Bifang.

"Asura has summoned a divine artifact possessed by a god?"

"Is this guy crazy?"

"Isn't he afraid of backfiring?"

The unexpected happened, and everyone immediately moved away from Asuron.

"Boom~"

The divine hand transformed into towering mountains, and atop each mountain, a gaping maw devoured everything in its path.

It collided with the divine artifact that Asuron had offered up.

"He's really crazy."

"Doing this will result in serious injury even if you get out. Just how much do you hate Venerable Han?" Lei Hong, who arrived later, was unaware of what had happened.

"How could he not hate it?" Chu Ji transmitted his thoughts: "Asura only took more than three thousand cubic meters of Earth God Crystals, but Venerable Han made him bear the karma of thirty thousand cubic meters."

"Asura is probably the biggest scapegoat."

"What? Such a thing can happen!"

Asulong, Wuzhen, and Jianling were truly unlucky. They didn't realize the conspiracy at first, nor did they realize the power of the "Thousand Silk Fruit." They didn't choose to run away immediately, and by the time they did, they were already facing divine punishment.

Seeing Jianling swallowed up by Bifang and Wuzhen turn into a white light and leave, Zhao Xing originally thought that the plan would come to a perfect end.

But an unexpected event occurred. Before fleeing, Asuron actually unleashed an extremely powerful artifact of strength. He had been holding back from using it because he thought there was still hope of staying. However, after seeing no hope of escape, he unleashed this artifact of strength, which actually severely injured two Free Gods!

Then it turned into white light, its physical body exploded, and its true spirit was taken away by an invisible hand.

Zhao Xing retreated repeatedly, and in the end, all the mountain envoys stared in astonishment at the battlefield.

"The two great gods and Asura have all disappeared."

"Could this guy have really severely injured two Free Gods?"

"Biluo Zizai God is at least at the late stage of the Divine Weapon realm, while Bifang is only at the mid stage of the Divine Weapon realm, but it is a born god. Surely it can't withstand it?"

"Something's wrong. My causal relationship is starting to fluctuate, and I can't see the values ​​anymore. How could this be?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Logically, this should be the time for the outcome of the event, but their god-level superiors had all disappeared.

At the same time, the causal relationship caused the numerical values ​​to become blurred, which made Chu Ji, Lei Hong, Liu Qingci, Xu Huai and others feel uncertain.

"Let's go back to the Mountain Patrol Office first." Zhao Xing was also unsure about the future development of this incident, so he could only return to the safe area, which was the Mountain Patrol Office.

They waited anxiously for a year, during which time neither Biluo Zizai God appeared nor any new god appeared in the Mountain Patrol God Division.

A year later, someone finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Venerable Han, Tan You, Quan De, and Yue Zhen are also gone," Chu Ji said as he ran over. "It seems they have left completely."

"Chu Ji, do you also want to leave?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes, I also want to leave." Chu Ji said frankly, "Boss Han, I have gained enough. I want to leave here while the effects of the historical calligraphy are still there."

"Let's go then." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Boss Han, I am very grateful to you." Chu Ji said sincerely, "Without you, I would not have achieved so much."

Zhao Xing smiled slightly. The third opportunity event had come to an end, although the unexpected turn of events with Asuron meant that some Earth God Crystals were not collected in time.

But this time the harvest far exceeded the previous two, and so far everyone's karma has been positive!
Now that they were leaving, only Chu Ji came to thank them; the rest of them just slipped away without even saying goodbye.

However, this is quite normal, since the team was forcibly assembled.

"Boss Han, I come from the 874th year of the Luo Emperor Era. If I have the chance, I will come to find you and repay your favor!"

After saying this, Chu Ji bowed to Zhao Xing and left the main hall.

After he went outside, the historical nameplate on his body glowed, and after a few steps, Chu Ji's figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.

"The historical scrolls provided by the Shadow Temple can only be used to escape the secret realm of the Cosmic Ship if the value is positive and one is not in a divine-level opportunity."

"It's truly remarkable that Chu Ji survived in his condition." Liu Qingci slowly walked over from the gate.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Zhao Xing glanced at Venerable Yusheng.

"The goal of Chu Ji has been achieved, but I haven't," Liu Qingci said softly. "Those who left were all short-sighted."

After the third chance encounter ended, Chu Ji left, Tang You and Quan De left, and a total of twenty-one people left one after another.

Since they didn't know what changes would occur when Asura fought the two great gods, it was a normal choice to leave and preserve their gains, given that they had already made good progress.

Only Zhao Xing, Liu Qingci, Xu Huai, and Zhuo Hua, among others, possessed exceptional skills and daring, and decided to stay and wait for their opportunity.

As they were talking, Zhao Xing suddenly had a thought.

The rubbing of the Xuanling History Book within his body suddenly turned a page, revealing writing on it:
[The 'Biluo Zizai Shen' died from his illness in 577, and the Bifang Zizai Shen was severely injured.]

The course of history in the Yas Sea has changed, and unknown events are about to unfold.

Your identity will undergo unknown changes based on your causal values.

Liu Qingci, standing beside him, seemed to sense something as well: "My identity is about to change, Brother Han, can you sense it?"

“Yes.” Zhao Xing said with some emotion, “I didn’t expect that Asuron could actually kill Biluo Zizai God and severely injure Bifang.”

“Historical events have changed, and the events on the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ship have likely taken a different turn,” Liu Qingci said. “I’m going back to my cave to prepare. Brother Han, farewell.”

"Farewell." Zhao Xing nodded.

……

Three days later, new characters appeared on the rubbing of the Xuanling History Book.

[Identity change complete. You have acquired a new historical identity: 'Guardian of Penglai Mountain'.]
