Du Yun's Unofficial History? Traveling the River of Time, a New God is Born!

Correction to the previous text: Zhao Xing was ranked 800th, which is the third tier of opportunity.

The Ark of Space-Time is a divine artifact of the Reincarnation Temple, an artifact of equal importance to the Derivation God Stele, though the former is unknown to the world.

Zhao Xing and Ji Si first followed Yan Ao to the God Selection Department Hall of the Ancestor God Star in the First Xu Zu Star System of the Origin Heavenly Palace.

Here, Zhao Xing met many familiar faces, including Venerable Zhang He and Heavenly Crown Venerable, whom he had previously cut in line with, as well as Venerable Wan Ying, Venerable Fu Ping, Venerable Holy Wing, and Venerable Hao Yu, whom he had met in the City of Heart and Soul, and an old acquaintance Du Yun.

What surprised Zhao Xing the most was Du Yun.

The others acted alone, but Du Yun was accompanied by a Divine General, who was clearly Du Yun's protector.

Generally speaking, the path of the Free God does not send protectors.

What surprised Zhao Xing even more was Du Yun's level; he had actually reached the level of a seventeenth-tier Demigod.

Du Yun had been standing silently beside the Divine General, but his eyes lit up when he saw Zhao Xing, and he quickly walked over.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Ji, it's been a long time."

"Long time no see, it's been six Solar Year, hasn't it?" Zhao Xing said.

"Your Majesty's radiance is even greater than before," Ji Si said with a cupped hand and a slight smile.

"Yes, ever since I started cultivating the <Devouring Tribulation Art>, we haven't had time to get together. Counting from when I first came into contact with this technique, it's been almost ten Solar Year."

One Solar Year is equal to one thousand World Star Year, Du Yun has been cultivating the Devouring Tribulation Art for ten thousand years.

"Brother Du's Ascetic Practice yielded remarkable results; he is probably already the number one Demigod in the Origin Heavenly Palace," Ji Si praised.

"Our paths are different, so how can we compare? However, among martial Demigod, I have actually undergone the most tribulations," Du Yun said.

"Brother Du, you've progressed so quickly; you must have endured a lot of hardship," Zhao Xing asked.

Mentioning this, Du Yun seemed to have finally found a relative, and immediately began to pour out his grievances. "Ten thousand years, ten thousand years!"

Do you know how I've spent the last ten thousand years?

"Cultivating the Devouring Tribulation Art means I'm either undergoing tribulation or on my way to undergoing tribulation every day!"

"What do you mean?" Ji Si didn't know much about the Devouring Tribulation Art, and he couldn't understand how Du Yun could undergo tribulation every day for ten thousand years.

"Lord Ji, you may not know this, but once the Devouring Tribulation Art is cultivated to a certain level, one can participate in the tribulation process of others," Du Yun said. "The Heavenly Palace has recorded the number of tribulations for hundreds of thousands of the Reincarnation Realm, along with their predicted dates."

"Whenever I face True Spirit Tribulation, the Palace Master instantly teleports me there."

"Then I will use a secret method to swallow the person undergoing tribulation, and I will then take on that person's tribulation."

"Such a thing is possible?" Ji Si asked in surprise. "Won't interfering with the True Spirit Tribulation cause problems?"

"Of course it will. It will interfere with the person undergoing tribulation, and the tribulation will immediately become many times greater. However, this is also the goal of the Devouring Tribulation Art. Otherwise, it would have no effect on me when an ordinary Reincarnation Realm cultivator undergoes the True Spirit Tribulation," Du Yun said.

Zhao Xing nodded. The Devouring Tribulation Art was created by the Xu Zu, paving a path to godhood for martial artists. As a technique created by the Divine Emperor, it allows one to suffer tribulations and save all living beings. Isn't this also a way of Heaven and Earth Attainment?

"Wind, Fire, Mountain, Forest, forest; metal, water, thunder—these are normal tribulations, but they're not too bad; it's just fighting, or getting hurt a bit." Du Yun recalled with a shiver, "But after undergoing many tribulations, you'll inevitably encounter those intangible and formless tribulations."

For example?

"For example, the Luck Tribulation, the Devouring Tribulation, the tribulation of sudden illness, the tribulation of the five tones, the tribulation of breathlessness, the tribulation of silence, and the tribulation of the Red Phoenix." The tribulation of the Red Phoenix? So it's the Peach Blossom Tribulation? Zhao Xing's expression suddenly became interesting. He remembered that Du Yun had a Dao Companion after becoming Emperor Lord Realm, named Fairy Walnut.

"Quickly, tell me the Peach Blossom Tribulation."

"Sigh, I won't go into details," Du Yun said with a bitter smile. "In short, after encountering this kind of tribulation three times, I stopped accepting this type of cultivation. Don't ask me for the specifics."

Seeing Du Yun's depressed expression, Zhao Xing became even more interested, but he didn't press the matter.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I do know a little about this," Ji Si whispered. "Legend has it that during the fourth Solar Year, a Ninth Order Demigod physician came to the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom. She claimed to be Du Yun's confidante and confronted Fairy Walnut— "

"What?! And then?" Zhao Xing exclaimed as if he had stumbled upon some juicy gossip.

"The Fairy Walnut explained to him that she and Du Yun both possessed false memories," but the other party wouldn't believe her. The Fairy Walnut became angry and engaged in Great Dao Contention with him, ultimately sending him to reincarnation."

"Holy crap, why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Zhao Xing lamented, feeling like he'd missed out on hundreds of millions.

"I only heard about this from a historian friend, and at the time I didn't believe it was true--."

"The historian said so? Good heavens, it's Du Yun's unofficial history, huh? Do you still have any rubbings? Bring me a copy to see sometime." Zhao Xing blurted out.

Du Yun: "--So you're not even trying to hide it from others, are you? What are you whispering about with Ji Si?"

"Haha, it's nothing, it's nothing." Zhao Xing quickly changed the subject, "Tell me about the Devouring Tribulation, the sudden illness tribulation, and the five-tone tribulation."

What is breath-holding calamity?

After chatting with Du Yun for a few days, there was a sudden moment.

All the Demigod stopped their idle chatter and turned to look at the sky above the Ancestor God Star.

But no one saw anything.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I have a feeling that something is here, but I can't see it," Ji Si said.

"Me too," Du Yun said, also puzzled.

"I can't see it either." Zhao Xing also sensed that there should be something in the sky, but from any angle, whether it was the Source of Life, the fluctuation of magic, or the scanning of soul thoughts, he could not observe it. He only had a fleeting feeling just now.

"The Ark of Space-Time has arrived," Yan Ao said. "It's incredibly close to complete Divine Concealment. Not only can you not see it, but even I wouldn't have seen it if it hadn't descended on its own. We'll have to wait a while before we can board."

Upon hearing Yan Ao's words, Zhao Xing immediately thought of Qing Yuzi's experience.

Lao Qing was also trapped in a Divine Concealment place.

"It seems that not only living things can Divine Concealment, but certain divine objects can also do Divine Concealment," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

After waiting for two and a half months, the shape of the Ark of Space-Time was finally revealed to everyone. It was a large, dark golden bird, which solidified in the sky above the Ancestor God Star as it took flight.

When Zhao Xing saw this scene, he still didn't feel that the big bird was anything special; it was just like an ordinary bird.

"It must be some kind of divine being that created this Ark of Space-Time. The craftsman's methods are truly terrifying," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

"Whoosh~" After everyone saw the dark golden bird, a figure also appeared inside the bird.

It was enveloped by twelve crescent-shaped artifacts, its light contained within its surface. Zhao Xing observed through the panel and discovered that the newcomer was none other than the General Jieluo.

"So this is the creator of the Jiefa Luo." Zhao Xing was certainly familiar with this name; the first Agricultural Official weapon he bought after entering the universe was the Four Realm Dharma Luo.

"Board!"

After the appearance of the General Jieluo, his voice appeared in everyone's minds.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh, everyone was guided up, and streaks of rainbow light shot into the sky, a total of one thousand.

Demigod with the best chance of becoming gods in the entire Xuanling Star Domain are here.

"Boom~"

Zhao Xing heard a loud bang, and in a flash of light, he found himself and the others on a light blue floor.

There was nothing around; there was no ceiling or walls, only these three floorboards were visible.

People from different groups did not stand together.

"No movement is permitted; spiritual communication is allowed, but no sound is allowed."

General Jieluo speaking, Yan Ao, Lu Ya, and Divine General Gongwu, who was next to Du Yun, began to talk to each other.

Zhao Xing observed the positions of these Divine General, sensing that there were more than just these few Divine Realm beings, though he couldn't see them.

"Du Yun has protectors, and there are probably quite a few opportunities in the first tier. They may not all be at the Divine General Level, but they are still hard to come by." Zhao Xing withdrew his gaze and established a spiritual platform with Ji Si, Du Yun, and Wan Ying to communicate.

The third tier consists of 501 to 1000 Demigod.

Although Du Yun has a high cultivation level, his Contribution Points ranking is low, so he can only stand on the third floor.

Once inside the Ark of Space-Time, the frequency of conversation decreased, and everyone quieted down to wait for takeoff.

As the floor began to glow, Zhao Xing felt a sense of detachment, both physically and mentally.

As if trying to detach himself from this world, all rules and constraints seemed to fail at this moment. Zhao Xing discovered that his panel also showed an abnormal status, with his mana, physical body, and spells all temporarily ineffective.

Only when the Nine Marsh God and the True Self Divine Method are functioning normally can the divine power of the Primal Chaos Dao Tower be sensed.

"Buzz~"

The nothingness before Zhao Xing's eyes suddenly began to materialize, with numerous "lines" and points of light appearing.

Numerous lines and dots of light eventually formed a river, and Zhao Xing felt that the Demigod around him had also become lines and dots, while the Divine Realm remained in its original form.

The Divine Realm's image grew taller and taller, like a giant, until finally Zhao Xing could only see the soles of Lu Ya and Yan Ao's feet.

He and these Demigod were utterly insignificant, adrift in the River of Time.

After an unknown amount of time, the lines and dots of light took on direction and began to sink rapidly.

Conversely, he and many other Demigod rose steadily along the dot matrix and line matrix.

The feeling of detachment is getting stronger.

"It's time to leave this space-time." Zhao Xing had a clear understanding in his heart. He looked down and saw countless points of light and lines. "Those lines represent the paths cultivated by powerful life forms, while the points of light represent weak life forms."

"Countless lives rose and fell in the sixth Solar Year of the Third Era of the Desolate Territory."

Just before being pulled away from the River of Time.

Moo~

Suddenly, all the Demigod heard a voice, as if it came from an ancient, primordial beast, desolate and sorrowful, making their hearts tremble.

However, everyone kept in mind the movements of the General Jieluo and did not make a sound, not even communicating telepathically.

Once the floor had completely detached from the River of Time, Zhao Xing looked at a certain spot, a spot in the ever-shifting River of Time, where it seemed as if a giant beast lay crouching on the crest of a wave. However, as the Ark of Space-Time was rapidly reversing, it was also constantly moving away.

Eventually, that feeling of panic completely disappeared.

"Senior Lu Ya, what was that just now?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but ask as Yan Ao and Divine General Lu Ya came out to his side.

"What else could it be? The Sky-Veil Behemoth," Lu Ya said dismissively. "It lies dormant in the first Solar Year of the Third Era of the Desolate Territory, corresponding to the Chaotic Sea region."

"They're so loud and noisy, it's unbearable!"

"If it weren't for the Palace Master's order to avoid a large-scale divine war and to command us to exercise restraint, I would have devoured this idiot long ago!"

So Lu Ya and the others could see it? If they don't want to fight a large-scale divine war, they all have to restrain themselves. The Desolate Territory Era is already the sixth Solar Year, and Zhao Xing has never heard of any large-scale Evil God gods destroying the Xuanling Star Domain.

It is said that many Divine Realm died in the Third Era of the Desolate Territory, but none of them died in battle. They were all conquered by preaching at Dharma assemblies, or had their paths broken like the Mind General Qi Luo.

After being separated from the River of Space-Time, Zhao Xing felt that the most obvious impact on him was the disruption of his biological clock, making him less sensitive to time.

After an unknown amount of time, one of the squares on the third floorboard lit up.

"Fellow Daoists, I, Feng Bu, will go first."

A martial artist dressed in light blue full armor and carrying a Green Gale Blade spread his thoughts and stood on the lit square.

Swish swish swish~

The eyes of the remaining 499 people were all focused on Venerable Feng Bu.

Zhao Xing had never heard of this person, but Ji Si knew him very well.

"Feng Bu was the Lord of the Kingdom before the previous ruler of the Tianhai Ancient Kingdom, born in the eighth era before the Desolate Territory. This is his third time Time Travel."

Zhao Xing nodded. Those who could stand here were almost all born no later than the tenth era before the Desolate Territory.

Just a moment ago, the Ark of Space-Time had already traveled to the thirty-first era before the Desolate Territory, which was also the point of travel chosen by Feng Bu.

He is arguably the person who traveled through the most recent point in time.

Take care, Fellow Daoist Feng!

Congratulations in advance to Fellow Daoist Feng on achieving godhood and attaining enlightenment.

Brother Feng, I hope to see you soon.

Many people sent their congratulations Telepathic Transmission. In reality, Feng Bu had become Free God, but since it was a congratulatory message, it was naturally to congratulate him on attaining enlightenment and becoming True God.

Feng Bu also cupped his hands in greeting to those around him, then lightly tapped his foot on the ground.

"Whoosh~"

The floorboards in the square where Feng Bu was located immediately disappeared, and Feng Bu fell down, re-entering the spacetime he had chosen.

"Buzz~"

The Ark of Space-Time paused briefly and stopped traveling upstream.

This is also a common practice of the God Selection Department; each person goes down and waits for a while.

If Feng Bu were to become a god, he might be able to return to the Ark of Space-Time.

Regardless of how much time Feng Bu experienced in that timeline, only a short while passed for Zhao Xing and the other Demigod on the Ark of Space-Time.

It's like falling down and immediately coming back up.

Three auspicious hours have passed, and Feng Bu still hasn't returned.

"Sigh, looks like I won't be able to wait that long."

"Brother Feng, in the end, he cannot be here."

"Not necessarily. He might also have returned through irregular channels."

Hearing the voice from the Hall of Minds, Zhao Xing understood that Feng Bu had most likely failed in his attempt to break through to the Divine Realm.

The General Jieluo didn't say much. After waiting for three Immeasurable Time, the Ark of Space-Time continued its journey.

"Feng Bu is most likely dead," Du Yun shook his head. "If he had become a god, he should have come up immediately, since this passage that accompanied the Ark of Space-Time back is the safest."

"I heard that Feng Bu chose to descend upon the Desolate Territory in the thirty-first era before, in order to inherit the legacy of the Three-Blade Divine General of the Mingyue Heaven?"

"That should be the case," Du Yun said. "The Three-Blade Divine General was a neutral, Free Divine General. Its origins are unknown, but it died in the Mingyue Heaven of the thirty-first era before the Desolate Territory."

"After his death, he left behind a legacy, which formed a hidden ruin using divine power. Feng Bu obtained the Key of Inheritance, but many others did as well."

"Actually, obtaining this opportunity is relatively easy. Because it's located in a relatively safe space-time, there are fewer competitors," Du Yun also knew some of the inside story. "When Feng Bu first obtained this opportunity, everyone thought he would easily become a god, but unexpectedly, he couldn't get it the first time or the second time, and for some reason, it was delayed until the third time."

"That's a real shame," Zhao Xing said with a sigh.

Thirty-one epochs before the end of the Desolate Territory, at this point in time, it was under the rule of the Desolate Territory Faction.

Theoretically speaking, Feng Bu should only face the test left behind by the Three-Blade Divine General, and should not have to encounter the encirclement and interception of the Evil God Faction after arriving in that time and space.

Of course, theory is theory, and nobody knows what actually happened to Feng Bu, or whether there are other potential competitors.

"The path to godhood is arduous and perilous. Sometimes, those who are considered to have a high chance of becoming gods are not necessarily guaranteed to do so."

"Even if I received the Earth God's affirmation at the Earth God Altar on the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, it doesn't Attain Dao and Become God. I still have to walk the path myself," Zhao Xing thought to himself.

Because the Ark of Space-Time travels through the River of Time very quickly, less than twelve hours after its second activation, a third square on the floor lit up again.

"Fellow Daoists, I, Xiong Yue, will take my leave first."

A clear, spiritual voice resonated.

Zhao Xing looked over and saw a spirited young woman standing on the grid, carrying a medical kit on her back, looking gentle and charming.

In reality Demigod, Xiong Yue is a Demon Race from the Wanhe Demon Kingdom, one of the ten great demon kingdoms.

He and Xiong Yue had met before, on the sealed Six-Winged Mountain. One of the envoys of the Demon God Hall was Xiong Yue.

Xiong Yue is also an Ancient Demon Race. She grew up in the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and had always maintained a human form until now, when she is about to descend, she has reverted to her Demon Race form.

"Fellow Daoist Xiong Yue, I wish you Attain Dao and Become God."

"We await your safe return, fellow Daoist."

"The fairy has returned; she is now the Medicine God!"

Although Xiong Yue is Demigod of the Demon Race, she grew up in the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and is also a physician Demigod, so she is quite popular and receives many congratulations.

Zhao Xing also offered his congratulations with a cupped-fist salute, and soon Xiong Yue fell out of the square.

As usual Ark of Space-Time waited.

Soon after, Xiong Yue reappeared on the grid.

"Hmm? It's done?"

Zhao Xing immediately looked over and saw that Xiong Yue looked completely different from before. Her body was covered in wounds, her face was completely bluish-purple, and she even had venom sacs and tumors growing on her body.

The medical kit he carried was gone, and his robes were tattered.

She was originally Fourteen Tribulation Demigod, but now her aura has greatly diminished, and she is no longer at the thirteenth level.

"Whoosh~"

Immediately, a Free God rushed over and began to heal Xiong Yue.

Divine light descended, covering Xiong Yue's body, and she quickly recovered.

Although Xiong Yue failed to become a god, she returned alive.

"Fairy, what happened?" a familiar person asked.

"I failed to obtain the divine power of the Five Immortals Palace, and was instead injured by a Demigod poisoner from the Evil God Faction. I am ashamed." Xiong Moon God was somewhat gloomy.

Her situation was similar to Feng Bu's; Demigod healers were extremely rare in the Desolate Territory Era. In the era she chose, no one in her Fang Zhen was competing with her. However, there were still Evil God who might sneak over and try to take her away.

"Xiong Yue, tell me about your experience in detail."

"Yes."

General Jieluo led Xiong Yue aside, seemingly to find out how the Demigod from the Evil God Faction had sneaked over.

As time went on, more and more Demigod began to enter their chosen time and space to accept their own opportunities.

Many act alone, but some people choose to live in the same time and space in a similar era, and because of their different professions, they do not conflict.

The Ark of Space-Time has traveled back to the 108th era before the Desolate Territory. At this time, half of the 500 Demigod on the third floor have already gone down.

"Of the two hundred and fifty-seven people who went down, not a single one achieved the status of Free God."

"However, although none of them became gods, more than 80% of them returned safely." Zhao Xing looked at these people.

"To cultivate oneself into a god is not easy."

The third tier of opportunities is actually quite good for these Demigod, but so far none of them have succeeded.

"Compared to the Five Emperors Era, the Spirit Domain Era is still quite different. The top tier of opportunities requires going to the last Solar Year of the Luo Emperor Era, where almost half of the chances will lead to godhood. The second and third tiers are only better than the Desolate Territory Era in the Spirit Domain Era, but not by much."

The era limits the potential of Demigod; only those of monstrous talent can break through those limits.

Only then did Zhao Xing realize just how significant Qing Yuzi's ascension to godhood was; Lao Qing had become a god during the Desolate Territory Era!

"Brother Zhao, Brother Du, Brother Ji, we must also set off." After another day of travel, Venerable Wan Ying, Venerable Fu Ping, Venerable Holy Wing, and Venerable Hao Yu also got up.

"Four fellow Daoists, we'll meet again soon. I hope that when we meet again, I'll address you as Divine General instead of Venerable Ones," Zhao Xing said with a smile.

"Divine General?" Wan Ying laughed as well. "It would be good enough to become Divine Soldier; I wouldn't dare to ask for more."

"To become Divine General in one fell swoop, Zhao Xing, you have truly elevated us too much. What an incredible opportunity this is!" Venerable Fu Ping also said.

"This is my first time going, I don't even dare to hope for Divine Soldier. I'll familiarize myself with the situation first." Sheng Yi looked unsure of himself. "When you first come to the Spirit Domain Era, you always familiarize yourself with the differences in the Dao and clarify the extended cause and effect of fate. The second time, you'll have a better chance."

Believe in yourself, you can do it.

"Haoyu, Ji Si, are you two going to tell my fortune?"

"Just say you want us dead," Haoyu said irritably.

"Hahaha, let's go." Wan Ying waved her hand, and the four of them immediately fell down together.

The Ark of Space-Time paused and waited. Zhao Xing also stared at the River of Time below. Although he couldn't see anything, he was still quite concerned about Wan Ying and the others, since Wan Ying and Fu Ping had both helped or mentored him before.

The buyers of their own Space-Time Guyu Dharma Robe were all introduced by Fu Ping, and the Chasing Light Society also learned about it from them.

"Whoosh~"

Before long, the floor squares reopened, and Wan Ying, Sheng Yi, Fu Ping, and Venerable Hao Yu reappeared.

Zhao Xing immediately looked over and saw that Sheng Yi, Fu Ping, and Hao Yu had all suffered injuries of varying degrees.

Only Wan Ying radiated a dazzling light, and everyone felt their hearts warmed and brightened. The Hall of Minds where they were exchanging ideas suddenly expanded several times over.

"Wan Ying, congratulations on achieving the state of Free God." General Jieluo, as the helmsman, smiled for the first time and came to Wan Ying's side to congratulate her.

"Wow, Wan Ying has become a god?!"

"Wow, God of Spirits, this is incredible!"

"Wan Ying became a god with the foundation of a sixteenth-level Demigod, how powerful must that be!"

"No wonder I felt much more comfortable inside just now; the cramped feeling was greatly reduced."

"Awesome!"

Congratulations poured in like a tide, and the divine light emanating from Wan Ying gradually faded.

"Thank you, General Jieluo, and thank you all." Wan Ying bowed to those around him.

"Silence!" General Jieluo quickly dismissed the rest of the congratulations he received.

"Wan Ying, now that you have become a god, begin to bind the three lines of karma." The General Jieluo his hand. "This will help you accelerate the binding of the influence of the three lines of karma, destiny, and life; your Divine Tribulation will not descend for the time being."

"Yes." Wan Ying respectfully accepted the divine object and immediately sat cross-legged to cultivate.

As an observer, Zhao Xing immediately sensed that Wan Ying's figure was becoming increasingly illusory, and the causal entanglement between him and Wan Ying at a certain point in time was also becoming weaker and weaker.

It still exists, but has become faint.

"This situation symbolizes that it doesn't matter whether I repay Wan Ying's favor or not," Zhao Xing pondered. "He no longer cares."

Even the memories have become very faint, as if the scenes of my time with Wan Ying were just a dream, and that feeling faded after I woke up.

"Brother Wan Ying-- " Fu Ping, Sheng Yi, and Hao Yu also sensed it, their expressions somewhat complicated.

They could understand that after Wan Ying became a god, he needed to go into Divine Concealment to ensure his safety and consolidate his divine position. However, while they understood, they still felt quite uncomfortable about it.

"Buzz~" A moment later, the light on Wan Ying's body dissipated.

General Jieluo glanced at Zhao Xing, Fu Ping, Sheng Yi, Hao Yu, and the others.

He keenly sensed that Wan Ying had maintained these relationships.

At this moment, all the other Demigod had completely forgotten about Wan Ying's existence, including those who had been congratulating him just a second ago.

"Wan Ying, are you sure you want to stop here after taking this step?" General Jieluo reminded him, "You've just become a god, and being on the Ark of Space-Time is the best time for Divine Concealment."

"General Jieluo, I'm certain this is the end." Wan Ying nodded. "I don't want my friends to completely forget me. I have no Dao Companion, and all my family members have passed away. Only my friends and the life and death of Human Race remain my emotional bonds."

"Hmm." General Jieluo nodded, said no more, and turned to leave.

"Brother, what just happened?" The three Venerable Fu Ping found that the unfamiliar feeling had disappeared and the familiar feeling had returned.

"I've completed the initial Divine Concealment; only a few of you can see me now," Wan Ying said with a smile. "You mustn't let anyone break my Divine Concealment."

"Congratulations, Brother Wan Ying." Zhao Xing Xingfu congratulated him again.

"Thank you, Brother Zhao, you'll be here soon too." Wan Ying said with a smile. His relationship with Zhao Xing was certainly not as deep as his relationship with the three of them, Sheng Yi, but since Zhao Xing had a high chance of becoming a god, Wan Ying kept this connection.

As for Ji Si and Du Yun, they had no connection whatsoever and had completely forgotten about Wan Ying's existence. Even if Wan Ying were standing right next to them, they wouldn't see Wan Ying. This is the Obstruction of Knowledge and Perception of the Divine Realm after the Divine Concealment.

Of course, if Du Yun and Ji Si also become gods, they will naturally remember their brief encounter today. After all, Wan Ying is not completely Divine Concealment, but only initially Divine Concealment, and he cannot completely Divine Concealment for the time being.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I seem to have forgotten something." After a brief exchange with Zhao Xing Wan Ying Ji Si standing nearby, communicated with Zhao Xing telepathically. "Has someone become a god and Divine Concealment?"

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised. Was Ji Si really that amazing? She could actually sense things.

"Yes, but I can't say his name right now. You'll remember it later."

Ji Si looked at the empty squares. "It seems that empty squares don't necessarily mean failure; they could also mean godhood."

In the following time, Zhao Xing saw five more Demigod successfully break through and cultivate the origin of divine power.

However, he quickly forgot about four of them, because these four had nothing to do with him and naturally chose to Divine Concealment from him. Only Zhao Xing remembered one of them.

To be honest, Zhao Xing didn't know this person at all. They had only met once before and Zhao Xing had casually offered his congratulations. It was such a small karmic connection, yet the other party had actually kept it and even taken the initiative to communicate and strengthen it.

"Your Zhao Shennong, are courteous."

"Lord Yi," Zhao Xing returned the greeting with some surprise, not understanding why the other party was doing so.

"I have attended Zhao Shennong's Dharma assemblies many times. His theories on the Three Era Realm Theory and the Dao Manifestation Universe Origin Theory, as well as the Layered World Mountain Method, have been quite helpful to me. These are truly divine theories," Yi Zhen said.

It turns out that Yi Zhen an Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong; he is not from the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, but from the Ancient Kingdom Alliance.

"You flatter me," Zhao Xing said modestly.

Seeing this, Lu Ya couldn't help but peck Yan Ao on the head.

"Zhao Xing has such great charisma! Even Yi Zhen, who has become a god, still respects him as Zhao Shennong, and even keeps such a small matter as greeting him private."

"Haven't you read his Theory of Law?"

"I haven't finished reading it yet, it makes me sleepy." Yellow Duck shook his head.

"Then you should know about the God King's manifestation at the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and the descent of the Divine General."

"I know, but isn't this a bit of Ancient Hill of Antiquity trying to inflate its own value? Ten Directions Mountain's true identity is still only a fraction of its original form."

"That one stroke is enough," Yan Ao said. "That one stroke is enough for you and me to enter the mortal world and protect the Dao, enough to make a free god like Yi Zhen, the Free God Agricultural Official, maintain respect for Zhao Xing."

"How splendid!" the Little Yellow Duck exclaimed, then seemed to remember something. "Yan God, why are you still studying?"

"Get down here right now!"

The Ark of Space-Time traveled intermittently, and when it crossed the three hundredth era before the Desolate Territory, not only did the Demigod of the third- Fang Zhen descend, but even some Demigod from the second and first orders also landed.

After the first three hundred eras of the Desolate Territory, it was already very close to the last era of the Five Emperors, and the afterglow of the God Emperor Era even illuminated the River of Time.

Zhao Xing could clearly feel that the Ark of Space-Time was moving more smoothly, as if it had a guide.

"Zhao Xing, I'm almost there."

342 epochs ago in the Desolate Territory, the cube beneath Du Yun's feet lit up.

Zhao Xing glanced at Du Yun's feet and memorized the era. Du Yun had chosen the 7th Solar Year in the 342nd era.

"The 342nd era of the Spirit Domain was the early stage of the Spirit Domain Era after the end of the God Emperor Era. At that time, Ancient God emerged to wreak havoc on the world."

"I will go to the Asura Heaven to seek opportunities, kill the Ancient God Clan, seize their divine power, and strengthen myself."

Upon hearing Du Yun's choice, Zhao Xing knew that his approach was somewhat risky.

Because Du Yun is definitely going to fight against the Divine Realm expert.

This method is far more dangerous than the path to godhood taken by Feng Bu and Xiong Yue.

Only a genius of Du Yun's caliber would dare to do such a thing, and be able to do such a thing.

Just as he himself could Hou Transformation the Nine Marsh God and possess god-level combat power, Du Yun's choice of this method suggests that he also has the ability to deal with god-level opponents.

Zhao Xing was about to say goodbye when Du Yun spoke first, "I won't return through the normal path. After I become a god, I will immediately go to carry out a task assigned to me by the Palace Master, so you won't see me in a while."

"Assuming you return to the sixth Solar Year of the Third Era of the Desolate Territory before me, and I have no news of you, please look after me for a while--"

"Hey, don't say things like that. You should take care of Fairy Walnut yourself," Zhao Xing interrupted.

"What are you thinking?!" Du Yun rolled her eyes, then lowered her Telepathic Transmission and said cryptically, "I wanted you to help look after Fairy Yano— "

"Who is Fairy Yano?" Zhao Xing looked blank, but he quickly realized, "Holy crap, Brother Du, you really do have a confidante?"

So, Du Yun, you really haven't overcome your Peach Blossom Tribulation?

But it's not really fair to ask your brother to support your mistress, is it?

"It's not what you think. There's nothing between me and Fairy Nuoya." Du Yun sighed, "What we shared were false memories and emotions. I've moved on, but she couldn't at the time. Later, she came looking for me and was forced to reincarnate. I actually feel somewhat sorry for her."

"But I can't possibly go see her; even helping her would easily cause more trouble."

"You are the head of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, so please help her Reincarnate and Cultivate Anew more smoothly. No one will know."

"Understood." Zhao Xing gestured. "Leave it to me."

"Good brother." Du Yun relented, extending his fist. "Until we meet again."

"Take care." Zhao Xing also extended his fist and bumped it with Du Yun's.

The next moment, Du Yun and the protector within him disappeared beneath the grid.

As expected, Du Yun did not re-enter the Ark of Space-Time after the time it paused.

The ship of time continued upstream, and soon Zhao Xing could vaguely see, from the center of the abstract River of Time upstream, a bottomless Abyss and a black Dark Clouds covering the entire river.

It is the existence of this Dark Clouds mystery and Abyss that separates the Five Emperors Era from the Spirit Domain Era. In smaller, localized areas, there are man-made fortresses.

The fortresses stretch endlessly, like a city wall. Compared to the Dark Clouds, they are merely embellishments, yet they stand steadily across the River of Time.

In this unique temporal and spatial segment, Zhao Xing could almost directly see some of the time traps that Bowei had mentioned.

Some vortexes exist indefinitely and never disappear, creating an endless cycle of life within them.

At that River of Time was no longer calm; one could vaguely see giant beasts or human figures floating within it.

Zhao Xing was somewhat shocked, as were many Demigod who were traversing for the first time. It was the first time they had directly felt the Divine Realm's interference with time, and it was as if they were discovering the truth of this world for the first time.

"What do the Great Rift and Dark Clouds represent? Could they be traces left from the last divine war?"

"Dark Clouds and mist represent historical breaks. After the Luo Emperor Era ended, how many eras did the Spirit Domain Era last?"

"It seems like some destiny is watching this place."

"Don't look anymore, you'll get caught up in the karma."

"That's terrifying. If you fall into that kind of time vortex, you probably won't be able to escape."

The Demigod whispered amongst themselves, and at that moment, Zhao Xing withdrew his gaze, and the Ark of Space-Time stopped once more.

The squares beneath his and Ji Si's feet lit up.
