Thunder Mother Tianheng, Guluo He's Background (Ten Thousand Characters)
"Back then, the Red Star Empire took the lead, and the Human Race's high-ranking officials reached a ceasefire agreement with the Demon Race. They even opened the World Transfer Tower to the Demon Race's Emperor Lord Realm for sharing."
"At that time, the empire's main focus was on developing the northwestern Desolate Territory, and I knew then that I would have no use for my skills in the short term."
Zhao Xing couldn't help but ask, "Brother Yun, why didn't you come to find me—"
Yun Tiandao shook his head. "Developing the wasteland is not my forte. I am merely the Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Timing Sect. In the development of the wasteland, at most, I will be responsible for sending down spiritual rain. Anyone can replace me in this kind of task, so why bother using me?"
"Wu Emperor wanted me to stay in the Great Zhou and was willing to let me invest in the Great Zhou Commerce Association, but since I am not a subject of the Great Zhou, how could I dare to accept the benefits from the Great Zhou?"
Zhao Xing sighed helplessly. Yun Tian Dao was too ambitious. If he hadn't come from the Profound Yellow World and wasn't the Grand Minister of Agriculture of the Xia Dynasty, he might have become his partner.
Even so, he was unwilling to accept the benefits from the Great Zhou.
Of course, this also shows that the Tian Shi Sect limited the development of Yun Tian Dao. In the development of the wasteland, the Tian Shi Sect's Minister of Agriculture did not play a significant role.
"My cultivation stagnated until you created the ' Annihilating Star Six-Nature Theory,' which inspired me," Yun Tian Dao continued recounting the past.
"At that time, I began to travel through the Xuanling Star Domain, creating my own cultivation techniques while observing the Yin Yang Twin Stars in various places and studying the changes of the four seasons in the Spirit Domain. Finally, I was able to step into the Reincarnation Realm."
"About five hundred years later, I broke through to the Lord Level."
"I originally intended to tell you this news, but at that time you came out of the Bai Han Realm and my whereabouts were unknown, so I gave up the idea."
Zhao Xing couldn't help but admire Yun Tian Dao after hearing what he said.
To be able to discover the difficulty of navigating the path of the Great Dao of Time during the Dao Domain Realm, and to create his own cultivation technique that reached the Lord Level, Old Yun is truly a genius, worthy of being Old Ancestor in the Profound Yellow World.
Yun Tian Dao's access to information and resources was far inferior to his own, and he didn't have as much wealth or opportunity. He relied on his own creation and the most difficult Time Faction to actually reach the Lord Level.
"At that time, I was already Lord Level and had some reputation in the southern border of the empire. I thought I was Lord Fang and could ask the Reincarnation Temple to resurrect Xia Emperor."
"So I went to the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom, and after years of inquiries and efforts, I finally found out that it was all in vain."
"I stayed in the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom for over three hundred years, but I never even entered the Reincarnation Temple. I only met one of their foreign affairs members."
"It was after being rejected by the Reincarnation Temple that I became utterly disillusioned. At that time, the Mysterious Spirit History unsealed the past of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, and I thought of the old stories of the Dongyan Ancient Clan, so I began to collect sacrificial treasures—"
Hearing Yun Tian Dao's story, Zhao Xing sighed inwardly.
The Resurrection Right in the Reincarnation Temple is extremely difficult to obtain. It can only be obtained during a super war, at which time the Reincarnation Temple will open this channel to resurrect those Human Race geniuses and powerful individuals who died in the war.
Although Yun Tian Dao is powerful, he is not enough in the eyes of the Reincarnation Temple. Making such a request is impossible to get fulfilled. In peaceful times, apart from stealing the Derivation God Stele or resurrecting through the sacrificial altar, there is almost no possibility of it being achieved.
It has to be said that the Dongyan Ancient Clan set a very bad precedent. After finding no other way to seek help, Yun Tian Dao also started to consider this possibility.
Since the people of the Dongyan Ancient Clan could do it, he could also imitate them.
"I couldn't steal the Derivation God Stele, but I did manage to get my hands on a Reincarnation Altar."
"I myself Ascetic Practice the Way of Sacrifice, and so in the five hundred years after the Mysterious Spirit History was unsealed, I had already prepared everything." Yun Tian Dao recalled.
"Wait, a Reincarnation Altar? Where did you get it?" Zhao Xing asked, puzzled. Shouldn't this thing be banned? Does Old Yun have such great abilities?
"The formal methods are certainly difficult. Many Priest today don't even know how to set up an altar, and the methods for forging the five sacrificial vessels have been blocked, making it impossible to recreate them."
"However, those that have already been built are still usable."
"After the memories of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom were restored, the entire Tianyou Ancient Kingdom experienced some turmoil, and I realized that there was an opportunity, so I went to the Illusory God Star System as soon as possible."
"You dug up the Reincarnation Altar of the tyrant and the demon queen in the Yueluo Cemetery?" Zhao Xing suddenly realized.
"Yes."
In my past life's memories, the development of the Illusory God Star System lasted for more than seven thousand years, which roughly matches the timeline.
Zhao Xing and Du Yun got together because Zhao Xing provided Du Yun with a map of the Void River in Yueluo Cemetery, which Du Yun then shared with the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom.
He also obtained the Time Page of the Mysterious Spirit History from here and unearthed the Thousand Illusion Tree.
Logically, my participation in this life should have significantly accelerated the progress.
However, after the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom incident, the Sacrificial Path was severed, the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom disappeared, and many powerful figures Reincarnation, causing the progress to slow down again. The most crucial Reincarnation Altar had never been found, but unexpectedly, it was dug up by Yun Tian Dao.
"The result is obvious, I failed." Yun Tian Dao continued, "I hid in the ruins of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom, a remote and uninhabited Star Continent, and held a sacrificial ceremony there."
"An attempt to resurrect the Xia Emperor and the remnants of the Xia Dynasty."
"I tried twice in total."
"The first time, I resurrected the Xia Emperor, but he remained in a state of madness. As for the civil and military officials, they were completely impossible to resurrect."
He soon committed suicide due to his insanity.
"I continued to cultivate the Way of Sacrifice, and after summarizing the reasons, I found that I only kept the relics and the Heavenly Soul of the Xia Emperor, but not the relics of the other civil and military officials."
"The reason for my madness is that I can only go back to the first era of the Desolate Territory. I offered sacrifices to the souls of the dead in the earlier past, but I encountered a powerful obstacle."
Zhao Xing nodded slightly. The obstacle Yun Tian Dao encountered should be the spacetime barrier.
If he cannot break through this barrier, then he will forever only be able to obtain the mad Xia Emperor, and will never be able to obtain the normal Xia Emperor.
The Reincarnation Temple holds absolute authority over the path of resurrection. Even if others manage to exploit loopholes, they cannot do anything too outrageous; all such attempts fall under the category of "resurrections with little threat."
Of course, the Dongyan Ancient Clan still poses a significant threat.
"About a thousand years later, I tried to break through this obstacle again."
"True Self, but for some reason, the obstacles have become much smaller this time." A deep sense of doubt appeared in Yun Tian Dao's eyes. "But I still didn't succeed; instead, I witnessed some very strange scenes."
"What did you see?"
"I saw a ship emerge from the River of Space-Time, carried by giant waves over the high city walls. It looked something like this—" Yun Tian Dao waved his hand, describing it.
Zhao Xing was immediately shocked when he saw the pattern.
Because the ship that Yun Tian Dao saw was the Yin-Yang Warship, the one he returned from the White Bone Divine Domain of Yuan!
Old Yun actually witnessed my return from the past?
"What else did you see about this ship? Did you notice anything unusual?" Zhao Xing asked hurriedly. He didn't know how to activate the Land of Fengshan, but perhaps he could get some answers from Yun Tian Dao's observations.
"A special place?" Yun Tian Dao frowned and pondered. "I saw that giant wave lifting the ancient ship, as if it were being supported by a pair of giant hands. I don't know if my description is accurate. The illusion of the Great Dao that can appear in the River of Time is hard to describe. I only vaguely remember that there was a point of light in the river, constantly rotating under the whirlpool."
A pair of large hands? Zhao Xing frowned. Yun Tian Dao's description was very abstract, and he still had no clue how to activate the Land of Fengshan.
"Go on, what else?"
Yun Tian Dao shook his head. "Afterwards, my sacrificial materials did not bring back the Xia Emperor, but they did bring back a statue and a Dao Book."
"One statue?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. "Shouldn't there be two?"
He believed that the statue of the Immeasurable True God had taken advantage of the loophole in the Yun Tian Dao's sacrifice and descended into the altar.
But now that I hear it, it doesn't seem to be the case.
"Two statues? No, only one." Yun Tian Dao looked at Rainbow Wind Fairy. "The one in Ni Feng's hand is not the same one I have."
"What she has in her hand is what we obtained later when we were collecting treasures."
Good heavens, Evil God really are running rampant everywhere.
The Immeasurable True God statue in Rainbow Wind Fairy's hand is not the same one in Yun Tian Dao's hand.
Indeed, although the Immeasurable True God said he would send his true form to the Black Heaven Desolate Territory, he did not mention the ancient boat.
He was also unaware that he had followed Yun Tian Dao and appeared near the ancient ship. Logically, the Immeasurable True God should have known, since he had shown himself at the time.
If it's not the same person, then it makes sense. The Black Heaven Desolate Territory is quite large, so it's normal for them to choose such a place to hide.
"May I take a look?" Zhao Xing asked seriously.
Yun Tian Dao remained silent.
Zhao Xing immediately realized something. "Is there danger?"
After thinking for a moment, he realized something was amiss and asked again, "Is it dangerous for me?"
Yun Tian Dao nodded.
Zhao Xing immediately understood that he was there to complete Evil God Mission, and naturally he had also obtained a lot of information from the Empire.
If it were a case of Immeasurable True God, one would not gain much benefit, and the Evil God's control would be almost zero.
Whether Evil God can control a preacher depends on whether the original being is in this time and space.
Take the Immeasurable True God as an example again. This guy is like someone who crawled through a spacetime tunnel and threw a bunch of preaching statues over.
Even if I keep mentioning his name, or even curse him, it doesn't matter.
However, Yun Tian Dao's approach is certainly different.
Old Yun entered that ancient ship, and before long, he had already survived three True Spirit Tribulation.
Such a massive upgrade must come at a price. This Evil God must have surveillance methods; at least judging from Yun Tian Dao's behavior, this guy's name cannot be mentioned, nor can any further information be revealed.
"Alright, we can discuss this later. What is the price for the sacrifice?" Zhao Xing asked.
The needs of Evil God are all similar; they are mainly after the origin of this space-time.
However, Zhao Xing still wanted to know what the method of sacrifice was, since the Great Dao Origin was a general term, and the specific things that represented the Great Dao Origin were not the same.
"Two kinds," Yun Tian Dao said coldly. "One is murder. Over the years, I have killed more than 10 billion people and refined their souls and bodies."
Zhao Xing raised an eyebrow.
"Zhao Xing, don't misunderstand," Rainbow Wind Fairy quickly explained, "Brother Tian killed space pirates and those wicked nobles."
Oh, I see. Then it's alright.
Zhao Xing breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed that Yun Tian Dao still had some bottom line.
His biggest fear was that Old Yun, in his quest to resurrect the Xia Emperor, would completely transform into a great demon and lose himself.
Of course, even so, Yun Tian Dao is in considerable trouble, and if things continue to develop, he will definitely be discovered.
Even if a nobleman who commits heinous acts is guilty, it is the Lord of the Kingdom should judge him. Yun Tian Dao's actions have overstepped his authority, and if it is discovered that they were intended as sacrifices to Evil God, then they are even more unforgivable.
But now that Zhao Xing knows, it's no big deal.
To be honest, the number of people Yun Tian Dao killed wasn't that many at all; a slightly higher-level Realm Star would probably suffice. Scattered across the entire ancient kingdom, it was practically insignificant.
"What about the second one?"
"Stealing the Stars".
"Excuse me, cheating?" Zhao Xing was taken aback.
"No, that's not what I meant," Rainbow Wind Fairy explained. "What Brother Tian meant was stealing the Sun Star and the Yin Star."
+
"How many did you steal?" Zhao Xing asked.
"There are probably more than 50,000 medium to high-grade Yin Yang Twin Stars— " Rainbow Wind Fairy's voice was weak.
"You—" Zhao Xing was speechless.
Compared to the billions of corrupt officials and space pirates killed, the crime of stealing stars is obviously much more serious.
What are the valuable public resources of the Spirit Qi Starfield?
The Sun Star and the Yin Star!
Simply having spiritual energy is not enough to be called a spiritual energy star system. There must be Yin Yang Twin Stars and Yang, in operation for the spiritual energy to complete its cycle. Only then can the four seasons within the star system balance life, death, the five elements, and various great principles, allowing them to complete their cyclical development.
At this moment, on any of the nine ancient roads, there is a twin star system. This is one of the few times that the Time Faction has demonstrated its existence.
Yin and Yang open the six directions, and the origin gives birth to the true spirit. Only in this way can a stable, long-lasting, and cost-effective cycle of origin be established.
Zhao Xing's development of the Annihilating Star Ancient Road also frequently requires him to move stars.
However, the binary stars moved along the Annihilating Star Ancient Road numbered only about 150,000 high-level binary stars.
Yun Tian Dao actually stole more than 50,000 mid-to-high-grade binary stars from all over the star field and sacrificed them to the Evil God?
"Yes, only in this way could Old Yun have made such a great breakthrough."
"Could he be offering sacrifices to some kind of Evil God from the Time Faction?"
"Free God specifically devours the essence of the Yin Yang Twin Stars?"
After experiencing the events at Baihanjie, Zhao Xing's goodwill towards the Tianshi Sect's Minister of Agriculture plummeted.
The only Demon Minister of Agriculture he ever met was Bai Han Venerable.
"You're too bold. With so many Yin Yang Twin Stars gone, you'll probably be wanted by the police very soon."
Yin Yang Twin Stars are almost non-renewable resources.
Of course, some of the magic spells in the Earthly Advantage Faction School are rumored to be able to activate the Yang and Yin meridians, thus restoring vitality.
However, this situation does not conjure up more origins out of thin air; it merely temporarily alters the ecology of a localized area within the cyclical process.
The Evil God stole the Yin Yang Twin Stars, which were taken away from this time and space. This is equivalent to stealing the Great Dao Origin in this era, so the total amount has decreased!
"Brother Yun is confused."
Zhao Xing couldn't help but sigh.
"Brother Zhao, is Brother Tian's crime very serious?" Rainbow Wind Fairy asked nervously.
"Sister-in-law, I can easily handle the previous matter," Zhao Xing said.
"With my current position, I can simply take over the whole thing and say that I ordered it."
"Brother Yun killing some space pirates and powerful figures is nothing to worry about."
To handle this gracefully, one could compensate the Lord of the Kingdom of those ancient kingdoms with some money.
If we take a tougher stance, which Lord of the Kingdom would dare to cause us trouble?
He probably should thank us for helping him kill the parasites.
"But the next thing is a bit troublesome. This is a sensitive time," Zhao Xing said.
"Zhao Xing, I will take responsibility for my actions."
"Let's pretend we never met today, and we won't mention it again if we're arrested in the future."
Yun Tian Dao didn't want to put Zhao Xing in a difficult position, so he was about to leave with his Dao Companion.
"Wait a minute," Zhao Xing stopped him. "Brother Yun, I only said it was a bit troublesome, not that it couldn't be resolved."
I don't want to drag you down with me.
"You can't handle this, but I can," Zhao Xing advised. "Even if Brother Yun isn't afraid, does your wife intend to stay with you on the run forever?"
"How much suffering did she endure to be able to reunite with you?"
Yun Tian Dao's expression softened. He had guarded the Epoch House for millions of years, and Wang Tianzhi admired his unwavering Dao heart. However, Rainbow Wind Fairy was his weakness.
"If you trust me, leave this matter to me."
Zhao Xing took on the task for two reasons: first, he was very grateful for everything Yun Tian Dao had helped him and the Great Zhou a great deal; second, this matter was also related to his mission.
I came here specifically to find the Evil God, isn't this a ready-made achievement?
"Stealing stars is a serious crime. How will you bear it?" Yun Tian Dao wasn't that he didn't believe it, but he was still afraid of implicating Zhao Xing.
"I am the Primordial Beginning Envoy," Zhao Xing said with a smile. "With the cultivation of Demigod, this identity has another meaning. Now I just need to investigate the appearance of the Evil God."
"I can apply to make you my personal guard, but I'll have to trouble you, Brother Yun."
Yun Tian Dao wouldn't care about such a thing, and of course he wouldn't feel wronged. He was just curious. "You actually have such great power now?"
Stealing stars, murder, and being linked to Evil God —how could Zhao Xing possibly handle all of this?
"Hahaha, we're no longer the insignificant figures we used to be." Zhao Xing, seeing Yun Tian Dao's gaze, was somewhat smug. "Look, the Carlos Family can crumble in front of me."
"If you come back with me and become my divine guard, I will submit a report, and even if you stole the star, it was under my orders, and I was acting on orders from the highest levels of the Human Race."
"Stealing some Yin Yang Twin Stars, isn't it all for the mission?"
Zhao Xing was confident that as long as this matter had nothing to do with his political stance, it would be easy to resolve. He might even be able to gain merit from it.
After all, Yun Tian Dao had already begun the mission of the Evil God, and had completed quite a few stages.
If I were to start from scratch, it would be quite troublesome. After all, such a task requires time to verify loyalty. Taking over the Evil God Mission from Yun Tian Dao might bring unexpected gains.
As for Yun Tian Dao to resurrect the Xia Emperor and restore the kingdom, having become his own divine guard provides Old Yun with a path to advancement.
If he becomes stronger and makes contributions in the future, it's not impossible.
Rainbow Wind Fairy excitedly grasped Yun Tian Dao's hand. "Brother Tian, we—"
Yun Tian Dao patted his Dao Companion's hand. "Alright, Zhao Xing, I'll go back with you."
Zhao Xing seized Yun Tian Dao and continuously used the Great Beginning Clone as a base to launch No Distance Teleportation.
Within a few days, Yun Tian Dao was settled in a base outside Jiachen Pass, in the Annihilating Star Corridor.
Much of this area remains private territory of the Great Zhou and has not yet been relocated.
Zhao Xing first called Ji Si over.
Ji Si is now a thirteenth-level Life Lord, and Ji Si also has a part in the Evil God Mission, so he can also access this kind of information and channels.
After learning about Yun Tian Dao's past, Ji Si couldn't help but shake her head. "Yun Tian Dao is somewhat confused about this matter. It's impossible for him to accomplish something of this level on his own."
"However, his spirit is truly admirable. If I were in his shoes, I would probably do the same thing and spare no effort to revive the Grand Minister of Agriculture and His Majesty."
Ji Si imagined that if the Great Zhou were to perish, and the Grand Minister of Agriculture and His Majesty were to die, and if the Empire and the Reincarnation Temple refused to help, he would also seize the opportunity to sacrifice the Evil God.
"His matter is easy to handle," Ji Si said. "Grand Minister of Agriculture, you can apply to the Gu Luo River to have Yun Tian Dao become your divine guard, and that will solve the problems of stealing stars and killing."
"How do we solve the technical problems?" Zhao Xing asked. To ensure Yun Tian Dao's smooth "onboarding," some achievements needed to be reported.
In other words, to find out the name of the Evil God god sacrificed by Yun Tian Dao, whether he had any other motives, and what methods he used, assuming that Old Yun was indeed his subordinate and was instructed in advance, Zhao Xing could simply bring Old Yun to the Mind God Palace. However, there must be a specific order to this matter, namely, procedural justice.
If the Mind General knew that Zhao Xing had boarded the train first and then bought the ticket later, then that would be protecting Yun Tian Dao.
Therefore, Zhao Xing and Ji Si had to solve this problem themselves.
"The reason Yun Tian Dao cannot describe the process of the Evil God's sacrifice is simply because he has the idea of Evil God in his mind."
Ji Si pondered, "Once Yun Tian Dao voices his thoughts, it will be tantamount to betraying the Evil God. At that time, the Divine Realm will exploit cause and effect..."
"We could kill him from a great distance, before he could even utter Yun Tian Dao."
Zhao Xing nodded. When he fought against the Immeasurable True God, all his divided souls were also affected to some extent. Clearly, the methods of the Divine Realm should not be underestimated.
Ji Si thought for a moment and said, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, we can first have Yun Tian Dao wear the Xuerui Luck God Bone, and then let him enter the Eight Directions Divine Mirror."
"As long as that person is not the Divine General of Destiny, Senior Artifact Spirit is confident that he can get Yun Tian Dao to speak smoothly without disturbing the divine will and avoiding the supervision of the Evil God."
"The Eight Directions Divine Mirror has this function? This artifact spirit looks down on me and has been hiding something! "Zhao Xing couldn't help but think to himself.
If Dao Divine Artifact has an experienced spirit, it will be just like a strategist choosing a lord when facing a new master.
Clearly, after seeing Ji Si, the Eight Directions Artifact Spirit no longer held back.
There's nothing we can do; it's Fate Master Divine Item, not the Shennong God.
The core of the Eight Directions Artifact Spirit ' plan can be summarized in four words: be favored by Heaven and avoid cause and effect.
The divine bone of Xuerui Luck God will allow anyone who wears it to reach level 30!
This ensures the plan will proceed smoothly, making Yun Tian Dao's fortunes more favorable in the future.
Eight Directions Divine Mirror can further circumvent cause and effect, it will not affect the Evil God's supervision of the Yun Tian Dao.
So Zhao Xing didn't hesitate to remove the Luck Divine Bone and install it on Yun Tian Dao.
Then they put Old Yun into the mirror.
He and Ji Si followed them inside.
"Metaphor~"
The space inside the mirror was a white blur, as if one were in the clouds.
The Eight Directions Artifact Spirit was a middle-aged Daoist priest whose robes were covered with divination symbols, including those from the Scorched Tortoise Observation Heavenly Strategy, Star Divination, Bird Divination, Dream Divination, Preservation Divination, Oracle Bone Inscriptions, and Heavenly Mystery Plate —seemingly encompassing all the magic of Fate Master.
"Senior Bafang, thank you for your trouble." Zhao Xing cupped his hands in greeting.
"Hmm." The Eight Directions Artifact Spirit nodded, but did not rush to make a move. Instead, it looked at Ji Si.
It seems that Ji Si is still the one who will cast the spell, with the Eight Directions Artifact Spirit only assisting from the side.
"Senior, this is a very important matter. Would you like to personally handle it—"
"Ji Si's cultivation is more than enough; those who are ignorant should shut up."
Zhao Xing immediately became obedient and watched quietly from the side.
"The Innate Yin-Yang God-Opening Eye." Ji Si opened the Eye of Destiny between her eyebrows, and two trigrams appeared in her palm.
They drifted towards the Yun Tian Dao, one after the other.
The Yang trigrams rise, the Yin trigrams descend, and the Yun Tian Dao seems to exist in an independent space.
Even though it was right in front of him, Zhao Xing felt as if Yun Tian Dao didn't exist.
With my eyes closed, the name and impression of Yun Tian Dao are slowly fading away.
Is it really that strong?
Has the plan changed?
"No."
Is there a cause?
"No."
"Wonderful!"
When Zhao Xing opened his eyes, he saw the Eight Directions Artifact Spirit looking at Ji Si with great satisfaction. Zhao Xing rolled his eyes at their worthless appearance.
"What, you're not convinced?" The Eight Directions Artifact Spirit gave Zhao Xing a wary look.
"No."
"Don't be so unconvinced. You're an amateur. I'm just a pearl being wasted by following you. Of course, I didn't bother to say so much before. I was already being kind by not wishing you would die and find a new master."
"...Thank you so much, senior."
"Guest Qi." The Eight Directions Artifact Spirit waved its hand.
Zhao Xing was furious. Had he actually taken it seriously?
As Ji Si was casting a spell, the Eight Directions Artifact Spirit praised her again, "Ji Si is different. She can be said to be one of the top three geniuses in the Fate Master since the end of the Five Emperors Era."
"Once he goes up to Ten Directions Mountain and obtains the First Divination, he can enter the Divine Realm."
Being able to obtain the tenth hexagram is one of the ways for Fate Master to become a god.
Zhao Xing asked with some curiosity, "Senior, what is your relationship with Ten Directions Mountain? What is your identity?"
The Eight Directions Artifact Spirit seemed to be in a good mood, and casually recited. "The life stone on the mountaintop is polished into a mirror, and the path to enlightenment is taken to save people in the mortal world. Life has no coming and no going, the way of heaven is impermanent but has constant. Hehe, kid, figure it out yourself."
What am I even thinking about?!
I'm really fed up with you Fate Master; you always like to act mysterious.
Zhao Xing said no more and waited quietly for Ji Si to finish casting the spell.
Once it quieted down, time seemed to stand still in the mirror.
After an unknown amount of time, Ji Si and Yun Tian Dao opened their eyes at the same time.
"Grand Minister of Agriculture, you only have a quarter of an hour."
Ji Si took out a sun and started timing it.
Zhao Xing immediately began questioning Yun Tian Dao.
"Who is it?"
Yun Tian Dao, "His full title is: Thunder God Division Five Abysses Divine General Heavenly Ji Yuan Jun."
The name is quite long. Yuanjun usually refers to a woman, Zhao Xing automatically shortened this Evil God to Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother.
A lot of information can be gleaned from the title: the strength is at the Divine General Level, so it should be a deity of the Time Faction. The Thunder God Division should be a divine organization in the Past Faction, Five Abysses may be a place name.
"He truly is a god of Heavenly Timing." Zhao Xing's expression brightened. Perhaps he could learn a god-level Time Law from this Evil God and make up for his own shortcomings!
"Brother Yun, let me see the martial arts technique he passed on to you."
Yun Tian Dao nodded, then steadily inserted two fingers into his earlobe and drew out a bolt of lightning from his head.
Soon the lightning transformed into a purple Dao Book, upon which numerous divine runes appeared.
After Yun Tian Dao made this move, Ji Si suddenly looked up at Risheng and said, "Grand Minister of Agriculture, there are only half an hour left."
This action seemed to trigger some kind of taboo, preventing Ji Si's suppression from lasting too long.
Zhao Xing immediately began to record the information. He used his true spirit to imprint the image and forcibly memorized it, and immediately felt that 70% of his original soul's consciousness was occupied.
"Such powerful Divine Art! Even with my many divided souls, it still requires seventy percent of my soul power to withstand it?"
"It seems that Yun Tian Dao was able to learn this skill because he was protected. I learned it by stealing and forcibly memorizing it, so it's different for me."
Zhao Xing did not immediately investigate, but instead seized the time to continue asking questions.
"What is the First Tier task he assigned you?"
Yun Tian Dao recalled, "Continue to collect the star cores of the Yin Yang Twin Stars, and kill people to refine the essence. However, the quantity has increased fivefold. After achieving the goal, make a sacrifice. The reward I receive will help me overcome the eighth True Spirit Tribulation."
At this moment, the Bagua formation above Yun Tian Dao's head and below his feet rose and sank respectively.
Ji Si reminded her again, "There are only thirty breaths left."
Zhao Xing quickly asked, "Do you have any other intelligence that you consider important?"
Yun Tian Dao thought for a moment and said, "Yes, the location of that ancient ship will change after I make the sacrifice. I can only wait for it to guide me."
Well, it's still one-way communication, so the idea of heading straight to their hideout has fallen through.
"In addition, she gave me alternative tasks."
"One is to find the Dao Divine Artifact or the power artifact of the original version of ' Jiefa Luo '."
"Secondly, we collect information about a person."
"Who?"
At this point, Ji Si reminded him again, "I can only say one more thing."
Yun Tian Dao's eyes showed some struggle, and he seemed to have difficulty speaking, "A scholar whose Daoist name is ' Poincare '."
Zhao Xing wanted to ask more questions, but Ji Si immediately stopped him.
The two trigrams in the palm returned to their original positions, causing Zhao Xing to be shaken.
Zhao Xing felt a spatial fluctuation sweep over him, while Yun Tian Dao's eyes were filled with confusion.
"Why haven't we started yet?" Yun Tian Dao asked.
"It's over," Ji Si said.
"But I don't remember saying anything," Yun Tian Dao, frowning.
"Of course you wouldn't remember," Ji Si said. "If you did remember, wouldn't the Evil God remember as well?"
"Once you leave the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, you won't remember this incident."
Yun Tian Dao smiled wryly, "It seems that I will inevitably be questioned again after I leave. I didn't know he had such a big influence on me."
"It doesn't matter, as long as you trust us, it doesn't matter whether you remember or not," Ji Si said.
Yun Tian Dao nodded, accepting the fact.
Ji Si waved her hand, sending Yun Tian Dao out. Her clone outside led Yun Tian Dao to the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion to stay and carry out some follow-up procedures for the bone extraction.
Inside the mirror, Zhao Xing casually took out the statue of the Immeasurable True God.
Since we're already here, why not let the spirit of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror help us see the true nature of the Immeasurable True God?
The task given to Yun Tian Dao by Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother was, after all, a step away from his own; the task given to Immeasurable True God his own.
"Senior Bafang, I have also encountered an Evil God. Please take a look."
Upon seeing the statue of the Immeasurable True God, the spirit of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror Realm immediately became solemn. "Where did you get this from?"
"Is there a problem?" Zhao Xing was taken aback. Logically speaking, the statue of the Immeasurable True God shouldn't be as heavy as the Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother's.
I can suppress it myself.
"The Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother may only be Free Divine General, but the divine power on this statue is the divine power of a True God who Heaven and Earth Attainment Tribulationless True God." The Eight Directions Artifact Spirit solemnly said, "Although the divine power is weak, its level is higher than that of the Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother."
No wonder he called himself a True God; Zhao Xing had thought that this was an identity given to him by the Immeasurable True God himself.
"Heaven and Earth Attainment?" Zhao Xing wasn't afraid at all; on the contrary, he became even more excited. "It's a big fish!"
"Boy, you've got some nerve." The Eight Directions Artifact Spirit narrowed its eyes, seemingly recalling Zhao Xing's past interactions with the Immeasurable True God. "You're just Demigod, yet you dare to scheme against a True God?"
"Whether it's one god or a group of gods, it's all the same." Zhao Xing wasn't afraid at all. How could one become a god without some guts?
Look at Qing Yuzi, his skills are incredibly audacious.
"Senior, what is your background?" Zhao Xing wanted to know about the profession of the Immeasurable True God.
"The God of Magic Array," the Eight Directions Artifact Spirit said, "And he should be a great god who controls a certain Space-Time Node passage."
Therefore, they cast a wide net with their talents.
"Any True God like this must have a very powerful background, or have a bunch of friends or servants who Free God."
Is the Immeasurable True God really that powerful? Zhao Xing dared not underestimate him.
"If I insist on engaging with them, how can my seniors teach me?"
The Eight Directions Artifact Spirit: "Since you are True God who Heaven and Earth Attainment, your bottom line for conduct is higher than that of the Free God. There are some rules that you will absolutely not violate."
Zhao Xing seemed to be deep in thought. According to the judgment of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, the Immeasurable True God was stronger than the Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother. Dealing with the Immeasurable True God was relatively safer than dealing with the Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother.
From this perspective, the task assigned by the Immeasurable True God himself might not be a simple matter of killing and gathering stars.
"Senior, I still have a question—"
"Talking nonsense."
"If we travel between the past and present, is there Divine Realm that can travel to the future to see if the universe has truly been saved?"
Zhao Xing felt that since both groups of the Divine Realm experts were vying for power and each believed they were acting righteously, it would be better to go to the future and see how things went.
The Eight Directions Divine Mirror looked at Zhao Xing as if he were a fool. "Not going to the future simply means not being able to come back. Figure out the reason yourself. Asking me such a simple question is a waste of your time."
After saying that, the Eight Directions Divine Mirror kicked Zhao Xing Xingmo out.
Despite being looked down upon by the Divine Mirror, Zhao Xing remained unperturbed. As he teleported to the Primordial Beginning Realm, he pondered deeply. When he reached the palace of the Gu Luo River, he understood.
"If the universe reaches the Annihilation Period, what phenomena will occur?"
"When the origin of everything collapses, the Great Dao ceases to exist."
"If we were to reach this point, even Divine Emperor would lose all his power and be unable to reverse the River of Time and return to the original time."
The rivers have all dried up; how can anyone swim against the current? So this is destined to be something we will never see.
Composing himself, Zhao Xing found Gu Luo River: "Senior Gu, I have urgent business to discuss with you, concerning the Black Abyss Evil God."
"Oh?" Gu Luo River, somewhat surprised. "You've already made a harvest so quickly?"
"Yes," Zhao Xing said. "I have an informant, and because of him, I've made quite a bit of progress."
"However, there is a small problem with this disaster, so I would like to ask Senior Gu for his approval to make him my divine guard."
"What minor problem?"
When Zhao Xing explained what Yun Tian Dao had done, Gu Luo River understood: it was like getting on the bus first and buying the ticket later.
However, Gu Luo River didn't say much, only nodded. "Okay, but don't do it again."
Some aspects of the Gu Luo River's character remain unchanged.
Zhao Xing recalled the scene in the White Bone Divine Domain where he stepped forward to repel Demon Race subordinates of the demon race's Great God Official.
"Thank you, senior. This is the information I obtained." Zhao Xing presented everything he had learned from Yun Tian Dao to the Gu Luo River.
But the Immeasurable True God chose not to report it yet, waiting for more intelligence to be gathered before making a decision.
"Thunder God Division, Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother— " Gu Luo River murmured the name, "This is indeed a certain divine department established during the Five Emperors period. I know the Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother, but I didn't expect her to come here as well."
"If nothing unexpected happens, what you obtained should be a fragment of the Nine Origin Divine Thunder Law from the Time Faction Sect."
Seeing Gu Luo River's somewhat sentimental expression, Zhao Xing cautiously asked, "Senior Gu, do you know him?"
"Hmm." Gu Luo River nodded slightly. "Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother was once Divine General under my father's demonic rule."
The Divine General of God King Gu Xiao?
"Senior, why is there no longer a method for becoming a god through the Great Dao of Time in the Desolate Territory Era?" Zhao Xing asked.
Gu Luo River said calmly, "Because my father also betrayed the future and fled to the past."
"He injured me. If it weren't for Da Ren protecting me, I probably would have died long ago."
"My memories of him are all fragmented. It's a family scandal, and I don't want to dwell on it."
Zhao Xing's eyes were somewhat strange. Father and son had turned against each other due to differences in ideology. Gu Luo River truly deserved to be called the son of this version. The story of Yuan Jing was indeed complicated.
"You excel at True Self Earthly Advantage Institute and your local advantages; do you aspire to become the god of Heavenly Timing?"
Before Zhao Xing could answer, Gu Luo River shook his head and said, "You're probably going to be disappointed. After he became the God King Qian, he followed Emperor Luo and participated in the Fifth War of the Gods."
"Not only did they take away my brother, but they also took away all the secret methods related to becoming a god through the Heavenly Timing, and sealed the Great Dao of the Time Origin in a certain Solar Year 136 years before the Desolate Territory Era."
"I don't know the exact year, but to become the God of Heavenly Timing, one must go to this specific point in time, which is extremely dangerous."
Zhao Xing did not hide anything. "I do have this thought, but not much."
Gu Luo River looked at Zhao Xing: "Zhao Xing, since you have come into contact with the Evil God, you must have also come into contact with the Evil God god's preaching ideology."
Are you wavering in any way?
Zhao Xing didn't hide anything. "Yes, senior, I have it."
He recited the rhetoric of the Immeasurable True God.
"The point of contention between my father and me is this: Lin Hao believes that the universe was restarted in the Primordial Beginning Stage. However, tracing back to the end of time and finding the Primordial Chapter is extremely difficult, and we also have to face the innate demon gods born in the endless Chaos Era."
"I believe that without destruction there can be no construction. At the end of Annihilation Chapter, we can escape the Great Destruction through the Eternal Realm. Art is the only righteous path."
Gu Luo River didn't say much; he seemed unwilling to mention his past with his father Divine King Gu Xiao.
"It's clear that you've remained rational and haven't completely sided with me or the Evil God."
Zhao Xing quickly shook his head, intending to show his loyalty. "Senior, I..."
Gu Luo River raised his hand to stop him:
"Zhao Xing, it's good to have doubts. I, Gu Luo River, don't mind if others have their own ideas. If someone can do more and has a better chance of finding a way out for the tribe than I do, I don't mind following his lead and supporting him."
"Because Da Ren supported me in the same way back then. He was the God King, and he still respected me so much. Personal honor and disgrace are not important."
"Whether the path to survival lies at the end of the universe's Annihilation Chapter or in the Primordial Chapter of the universe, you can find the answer for yourself."
"But before that, you must complete the mission as soon as possible and obtain the spot to become a god." Gu Luo River gazed into the void, his eyes profound. "The Third Era of the Desolate Territory is about to descend; it is called the Ice Age. Under this celestial event, if you cannot become a god as soon as possible..."
You may not even be able to retain your existing memories, which will cause great chaos.
Zhao Xing's heart tightened. "Yes, this junior will complete the mission as soon as possible."
