Restarting the Universe?

"Poor thing," the Immeasurable True God said with pity in his eyes, seemingly filled with compassion. "Since you have realized your mistake, tell me how you were deceived by the Evil God, and I will help you."

Zhao Xing wept bitterly. "They blocked my memories, transported me from one country to another like a commodity in a trade, and then imprisoned me under a mountain for five hundred years—"

"Some of them tricked me into learning a flawed cultivation technique, which tore my Soul Tear and almost caused me to Going Berserk— "

"The cultivation techniques they passed on to me can even devour each other; it's obvious they wanted to fatten me up before killing me—"

"Later, they sent me and my family and friends to work day and night in the Desolate Territory to open up ancient roads for them, and we almost got trapped and died in the Dao Ancient Layer— "

"Someone also planted a very terrible poison in me, called the True Spirit Heavenly Poison."

"Someone else wants to use me as a test subject, to turn me into a ruthless killing machine—"

"I survived by sheer luck, but some people still tried to steal the little I had earned through my hard work in the Desolate Territory..."

"Now you've sent me to a place like the Black Heaven Desolate Territory, True God, I'm suffering—"

Zhao Xing recounted his past vividly, a story that moved listeners to tears.

His strong thoughts even influenced the thoughts of the Immeasurable True God, making the Immeasurable True God feel that Zhao Xing was truly suffering.

As for why Zhao Xing, despite his miserable state, could still reach the Demigod Realm, it's not hard for the Immeasurable True God to understand. The Divine Realm here intend to fatten Zhao Xing up before killing him.

In their time and space, everyone did the same thing; the difference was that some gods were gentler in their methods, while others were more ruthless.

The Immeasurable True God recognized that every word Zhao Xing said was absolutely true.

He believed that Zhao Xing had been completely influenced by his divine power, had seen through the truth of the matter, and hated the God Realm High-Level in this era.

"Judging from his aptitude, he's a promising talent. If we can take him with us, it would be a great achievement."

Zhao Xing talked for a long time, but the Immeasurable True God did nothing, which made him a little puzzled.

According to the normal procedure for encountering Evil God, since I've already expressed my faith, shouldn't this guy offer me some kind of reward first?

Then would he ask me to do things for him?

Why do you just listen without giving anything in return? Is your story not compelling enough?

After a long and drawn-out complaint, the Immeasurable True God finally spoke, "I can bestow divine power upon you, but you are currently only an avatar and cannot bear it. Your true self must come."

"Remember to keep this statue safe. When your true self comes, you can take it with you to the Black Heaven Desolate Territory. It will guide you."

So it turns out that this Evil God statue only triggers the benefits and rewards when the real person holds it?

Zhao Xing had seen similar missions in his previous life and knew that these widespread Evil God statues all had a specific preaching mode, while ordinary statues didn't yield much profit.

The only profit comes from certain information: such as the location of a treasure trove or a secret technique, but these are mostly fragments.

Obtaining the scattered preaching statues of the Evil God is essentially a chain quest.

You have to do it step by step to see the powerful Divine Power Incarnation, or even the original being.

It's unclear which step Yun Tian Dao accomplished.

Seeing that the image of the Evil God was about to dissipate, Zhao Xing was unwilling to let it go.

You think you can boss me around when you have nothing?

Good times should leave something behind:

"My Lord, I am deeply perplexed by this world. Could Invoking the Gods?"

The image of the Immeasurable True God immediately flickered.

The statue of the Immeasurable True God has its own preaching style, but it was not originally intended for Demigod like Zhao Xing.

The highest level is the Lord Level, like Yun Tian Dao and Rainbow Wind Fairy.

According to procedure, he should have rewarded Zhao Xing, but Zhao Xing's strength was beyond his preaching mode.

Then the Evil God started shaking as if it were exploiting a bug. Zhao Xing could tell that this Immeasurable True God had a preaching mode, but it wasn't very applicable to his situation.

After swaying for a moment, the Immeasurable True God nodded. "Very well, since you are so sincere in your pursuit of the Dao, I will answer your questions."

"Can you clear up some doubts? It seems you don't have many of these statues in stock," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

He had complete control and could erase the mark of the Evil God statue with a flick of his wrist, so he wasn't afraid at all.

Information, too, should not be wasted.

"God, they say that a group of gods have fled to the past, unwilling to face the desolate future. They are cowardly and selfish Evil God, and they are stirring up trouble upstream in the River of Time, trying to destroy the present."

"But the gods here say that they are righteous gods who uphold justice in the present and save the future, and that it was the ' Evil God ' of the past that caused the appearance of the Desolate Territory and the formation of chaotic spacetime memories."

"The believers want to spread your glory, but they don't know how to refute the followers of this Evil God."

Zhao Xing had heard Bowei's explanation and Gu Luo River's explanation, and now he wanted to hear the ideology of the Evil God Faction.

The Divine Realm couldn't have attracted so many people to flee there solely through force; there had to be a self-consistent logic behind it.

Upon hearing this, the Immeasurable True God immediately retorted that if Zhao Xing Zhao Xing him to impart his teachings or reveal the secret entrance to some precious treasure, his statue might not be able to do so.

However, Zhao Xing's question pertains to the concept of preaching, which falls within the scope of his answer.

"This is the Gao Ming of the Evil God' methods. They reverse right and wrong, attributing the formation of the Desolate Territory to the righteous gods, and glorifying their cowardly and selfish actions." The Immeasurable True God immediately labeled the gods of the Desolate Territory Era as Evil God.

"Throughout the many eras, the gods of the Desolate Territory Era were the most selfish and cowardly, even more evil than the Evil God who only knew how to plunder!"

Zhao Xing could clearly sense that the Immeasurable True God seemed to have an emotional fluctuation when he mentioned this point.

The Immeasurable True God sneered, "Boy, you've cultivated to the Demigod Realm as Agricultural Official, you must know the four stages of the universe. Don't you have even a basic common sense?"

"Your Majesty, I don't understand." This time, Zhao Xing wasn't pretending to be stupid. Why did he bring this up out of the blue?

"Primordial Chapter Era, the Origin, All Things, and Annihilation Chapter —these are the four great periods of the universe," the Immeasurable True God coldly stated. "We, the righteous gods, have gone to great lengths to trace back the River of Time, seeking precisely the Primordial Chapter era of the universe, to restart it, to revitalize it with new life, not to hide in the past and live carefree lives!"

"To save the universe and prevent the Great Destruction, we must take a large amount of matter with us and leave."

"We are the ones who are saving the world!"

Zhao Xing was startled.

The Immeasurable True God demanded, "I ask you, is it easier to treat a patient when the disease is terminal or when it has just begun?"

Zhao Xing subconsciously replied, "Of course, it's easier to treat when the illness is first contracted."

The Immeasurable True God sneered, "So, is it easier for you to restart the universe during the period of Annihilation Chapter, or during the Myriad Phenomena Period, the period of origin, or even the Primordial Chapter period?"

Zhao Xing was speechless.

Rebooting the universe—what a magnificent idea.

The idea of revitalizing the origin of the universe seems more reasonable than the Gu Luo River's concept of the "Eternal Realm".

"God, how did that Desolate Territory come into being?" Zhao Xing gathered his thoughts and continued to ask.

"Of course, it is the natural decay of the universe, just like mortals getting old and sick, withered skin, atrophied flesh, and lost vitality."

The Immeasurable True God continued, "As for the chaotic spacetime memories, humph, that's just the foolish act of these selfish and cowardly Evil God."

"If they want to survive in the Desolate Territory Era, fine, we won't force them. But we've also built the Spacetime Great Wall to prevent the Great Dao of Cause and Effect from connecting the past and the present."

"But they are afraid of death and unwilling to exert themselves, yet they want to live forever, so they think of going to ancient times to steal materials."

At this point, the Immeasurable True God became even more furious. "What a magnificent feat! Using the past as the front line, we restarted the universe, with our Divine Soldier soldiers and Divine General bravely advancing to sweep away the chaotic life. But the present timeline is holding us back, and even wants to annihilate us in our infancy, leaving behind the remnants of our soldiers on the front line."

"I do not deny that there are some treacherous individuals in the restarted faction who came here hoping to enjoy themselves and gain greater power."

"However, they are all just minor ailments; the Evil God of the Desolate Territory Era are the real threat."

"This repeated process caused constant spacetime turbulence, which severely hampered the Reboot Plan."

"Don't you think they deserve to die?"

Zhao Xing was taken aback.

The principles of the Great Dao practiced by the Evil God Faction are actually quite self-consistent.

According to the Immeasurable True God, the Divine Realm of the Desolate Territory Era were indeed heinous Evil God.

However, just as he did not fully believe the claims of Bowei and Gu Luo River, Zhao Xing only believed three-tenths of the words of the Immeasurable True God.

Taking advantage of the other party's excitement, he continued to ask, "God, they said that Five Emperors Era, a divine war was launched to hunt down the Evil God who had fled from the past. The fierce war resulted in the fall of five Divine Emperor and the great expansion of the Desolate Territory— "

"Nonsense!" The Immeasurable True God coldly interrupted, "Three of the five Divine Emperor mobilized all their power, carrying matter to ascend to the Primordial Era, to destroy the Dark Origin Life of the Chaos Era."

"Who else says the Five Emperors have fallen?"

"The one I serve is—" The Immeasurable True God stopped abruptly at this point. "You will know in time."

"Yes."

Although the other party didn't finish speaking, Zhao Xing was genuinely shocked.

According to the Immeasurable True God, the five Divine Emperor are still alive, and at least three of them support the plan to "reboot the universe".

In other words, there were disagreements among the Fifth Generation Divine Emperor?

Zhao Xing was completely unable to refute the statement of the Immeasurable True God.

If the starting point was merely to subdue the rebels, then how did the five great Divine Emperor perish, without even a trace of their lineage, their lineage completely severed?

At this moment, Zhao Xing suddenly recalled his experience in the Profound Yellow World.

When he led the Great Zhou to ascend, he took away a lot of material from the Profound Yellow World, almost all the top experts, and most of the divine artifacts.

Although it left behind many books and a few precious artifacts, the native Great Zhou was still far inferior to the ascended Great Zhou.

Zhao Xing couldn't help but think of the story of the witch and the emperor; how similar they were!

The Five Emperors mobilized their entire nations for the expedition, carrying supplies with them. Similarly, the Great Zhou's ascension also took away a large amount of supplies.

Neither the Great Zhou nor the Five Emperors returned.

The Five Emperors forged a wall of time and space, which is remarkably similar to the Hidden Breaking Illusion that appeared in the Profound Yellow World!

The difference is that the situation in the Great Zhou is not as serious, because they are not affected by the spacetime turbulence, and at least their memories are still intact.

However, what is the Primordial Era and Chaos Era that the Immeasurable True God spoke of?

Zhao Xing voiced his doubts, wanting to know more of the truth, but the Immeasurable True God remained silent.

"You have too many questions. If you are truly devoted to the Way, one day I will naturally guide you."

"If you remain stubbornly ignorant, you will only decay along with the times!"

After saying that, the phantom of the Evil God returned to the statue.

Zhao Xing put away the Evil God statue, then shook his head.

He felt he was beginning to believe the words of the Immeasurable True God, and quickly circulated his Mysterious Soul Mana and Vast Ocean Mana to dispel the thought.

Ultimately, from an outsider's perspective, he preserved the words of the Gu Luo River, Bowei, and Immeasurable True God, but did not extinguish these thoughts; he simply examined them objectively.

After doing all this, Zhao Xing couldn't help but smile, "These words from the Divine Realm are truly highly persuasive."

"That's true. Whether they are Evil God or not, they may be bad, but they are definitely not stupid."

"Let's not think about it for now, let's see how Yun Tian Dao doing."

As soon as Yun Tian Dao emerged from the ancient ship in the Black Heaven Desolate Territory, Yun Tian Dao Zhao Xing's follower clone immediately grabbed him.

A Great Five-Finger Mountain descended from the sky, pressing down heavily on Yun Tian Dao.

"Who is it?!"

Yun Tian Dao was also very alert. He created clouds beneath his feet, and the Star Dou Cloud were put into use. They shot out like brilliant starlight, and his figure could be seen in all directions, making it difficult for people to discern the direction in which his true body had fled.

"Huh? Old Yun was Lord Level before he went in, and he came out as a Tribulation Emperor Lord Realm?" Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised.

Fortunately, although the materials of the Great Beginning Clone he came from were not particularly top-notch, the soul of the avatar was a true spirit at the Demigod level.

The Great Five-Finger Mountain pressed down, and none of Cloud Method's clones could escape, immediately pinning Yun Tian Dao to a desolate Star Continent.

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing tore open the void passage, dragging himself and the mountain into the second layer of the Void Dao Ancient Layer.

"Where are you from, martial artist? I, Yun Tian Dao, have never offended you! Why did you throw a mountain at me? Show yourself if you dare!"

"Why be so timid and hesitant!" Yun Tian Dao roared in resentment.

Zhao Xing was speechless. In Yun Tian Dao's impression, was the essence of martial arts just to launch a sneak attack?

However, this stereotype is indeed quite appealing. Zhao Xing also encountered the Lord Yashi on Extreme Star Island, who secretly used mountains to smash people.

"Brother Yun, it's me."

Zhao Xing appeared after entering the Dao Ancient Layer.

"Zhao Xing, is that you?" Yun Tian Dao was stunned for a moment. "You, how did you get here? Was it you who threw the mountain at me just now?"

"Brother Yun, don't ask me yet," Zhao Xing said with a serious expression. "I'll ask you first: what are you doing in the Black Heaven Desolate Territory? And what have you done for that Immeasurable True God?"

Yun Tian Dao's expression gradually calmed down. "You knew everything? It seems you've been following me all along. So you've already obtained the statue from Ni Feng."

"Not bad." Zhao Xing nodded.

"So, you're here to arrest me?" Yun Tian Dao asked. "I can tell you, but Ni Feng has nothing to do with this. Let her go."

Zhao Xing sighed and said, "Brother Yun, when did we become so estranged? I didn't come to arrest you, I was just worried about your safety, so I went to find your wife to ask about your situation."

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing activated the No Distance Teleportation, and another Great Beginning Clone appeared. He then released Rainbow Wind Fairy from within the World Ring.

At the same time, the mountain was moved, releasing Yun Tian Dao.

"Brother Yun, I know you have a strong personality and are very stubborn."

"If you don't trust me, you can leave now." Zhao Xing handed over another World Ring. "We're brothers, this is for your escape."

Yun Tian Dao is a very stubborn person. He has been in the universe for nearly 10,000 years and he has refused to accept any gifts from the Great Zhou. He always thought about relying on himself. After he rescued his Dao Companion and the Xia Emperor, his goal changed. He wanted to heal them and help the Xia Emperor restore his country.

"Your actions will be discovered sooner or later. This World Ring contains enough for your cultivation. You'd better borrow a route through the Demon Race's territory and escape to the Tianze Star Domain." After saying that, Zhao Xing turned to leave.

Yun Tian Dao's gaze was complicated, while Rainbow Wind Fairy held her husband's hand.

Just before Zhao Xing was about to leave, Yun Tian Dao finally spoke up, "Brother Zhao, wait a moment."

"It's not that I don't consider you a friend, nor that I don't trust you."

Zhao Xing turned around. "I need an explanation."

Yun Tian Dao sighed and said, "You have a bright future ahead of you, and your success is limitless. I, Yun Tian Dao, am all alone, and the things I do are taboo. I won't say anything because I don't want to implicate you."

"Since you already know, then there's nothing I can't say."
