Divine Mountain Geological Change, Earth God Crystal! (12000)
With a "gurgle," Qu Ru Divine Duck closed its beak, and at the edge of the Fushan Domain, a huge black hole disappeared.
Zhao Xing stared blankly at the Little Yellow Duck.
Just now, he was teleported to the edge of the Fushan Domain. Palace Master Lu Ya then revealed his true form, opened his mouth and turned into a black hole, and then he saw many faint lights enter.
Tens of thousands of faint lights! Ninety-nine percent of them are Demigod, and there are also some Divine Soldier Level!
Clearly, they were all drawn by the opportunity presented by the Cosmic Ark.
But were they really eaten by Lu Ya like that?
The Little Yellow Duck wiped its beak with its wing, its eyes beaming with delight. "Alright, Zhao Xing, I'm full."
"Senior Lu Ya, what is this—"
"Eat something," Lu Ya said kindly. "Do you want some too?"
"No need, thank you." Zhao Xing couldn't help but shrink back.
That's brutal!
The Little Yellow Duck swallowed so many Demigod and gods from the Evil God Faction in one gulp.
"Don't be afraid," Lu Ya comforted her. "I only eat food from the Evil God's side; this is also to reduce your competitors."
"Is that even possible?" Zhao Xing, somewhat puzzled.
"Of course! Batch after batch of Evil God have traveled through time and space to the first Solar Year of the 341st era before the Desolate Territory. If I don't devour some of them, when you go to the Cosmic Ark to seek opportunities, Demigod will be everywhere."
Zhao Xing thought about it and realized it made sense. Although only he and Ji Si had come here from the Desolate Territory Era, countless Evil God in countless Space-Time Territory coveted the Cosmic Ark.
The first Solar Year marks the beginning and is the best time to enter the Cosmic Ark.
"My divine power clone guards this Solar Year primarily to devour Evil God that dare to come."
"Unfortunately, the Palace Master doesn't usually allow me to eat lavishly. I can only have a small meal like today when I'm on a mission."
The Little Yellow Duck said nostalgically, "The last time we ate so much was a long time ago."
Is this considered a snack?
Zhao Xing was greatly shocked after hearing this. He secretly asked Bowei in his Internal World, "Elder, Divine General Lu Ya always been this ferocious?"
"Lu Ya is the Qu Ru Divine Duck. He was born with the ability to travel through the River of Time, and apart from the God King, no one can catch him."
"His unique talent of traversing endless space and time allows Lu Ya to devour other life forms without restraint," Bowei explained.
"In the past, the Evil God Faction attacked the Desolate Territory Era using methods such as Heavenly Dimension Giant Beast, History Book Worm, and Epoch Worm."
"And Desolate Territory Era, they would typically send out Lu Ya to retaliate."
"He was the one who killed the most Evil God Desolate Territory Era."
"Lu Ya's Contribution Points has consistently been the highest among the Divine General."
"However, Lu Ya almost died once, and it was the Palace Master who saved him at a great cost."
"Furthermore, the seven Xu Zu Star System of the Origin Heavenly Palace have plenty of delicious food, so he continued to follow the Palace Master."
Zhao Xing suddenly realized that the Little Yellow Duck had such a glorious record.
No wonder Lu Ya dared to rush forward and fight back when he encountered the Divine Power Incarnation of the Master of Cold Food Festival.
"Zhao Xing, time is almost up." Yan Ao looked at the countless spaceships motionless in the starry sky ahead, which resembled a graveyard. "Lu Ya and I have very little time left inside. We can only make one move, and once we do, we'll take you away from the Cosmic Ark."
"Bowei can help you in there, but you need to be careful about how you behave."
"I understand." Zhao Xing nodded. "Palace Master Lu Ya has already eliminated a group of competitors, so I should keep a low profile."
Being cautious won't pose too much of a danger.
"Just keep that in mind."
At the edge of the dark, Fushan Domain, a large black ship silently floats, while in the distance, spacetime ripples, displaying colorful lines and a curtain-like appearance.
The Free Divine General "Shen Ge" was standing in the main hall of the black ship, gazing at the Fushan Domain in the distance.
"Xu Zhun, the Fushan Domain is just ahead." Shen Ge Divine General pointed ahead. "The Cosmic Ark built by the two God Kings of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity perished here."
"The Fushan Domain is not merely a place in time and space, but also represents a Major Event Chronicle; it is inextricably linked to time and space."
"Unable to be twisted."
"Anyone, even those at the God King Realm, can only come to the Zhoushan Domain three times."
"Regardless of the starting point, from the moment the Fushan Domain was born, the allowed stay time is shorter with each subsequent entry."
"Teacher, why can't we see the Cosmic Ark?" Xu Zhun looked ahead with a puzzled expression.
He is the most talented Demigod under his teacher's command. He came to the first Solar Year of the 341st era of the Desolate Territory to break through to godhood on the Cosmic Ark.
"Because this is the time when Lu Ya will unleash his killing spree, we have to wait a little longer." Shen Ge Divine General, kept scanning ahead, his body seemingly integrated with time and space.
"Lu Ya?" Xu Zhun immediately jolted awake. He had also heard of Lu Ya, this Evil God, and knew of his ruthlessness.
He immediately dared not ask any more questions.
After waiting quietly for more than half a year, Shen Ge Divine General broke his silence.
"That's enough, Lu Ya's mealtime is over."
"Teacher, how many died?"
"I don't know, but there should be tens of thousands of Demigod and hundreds of Divine Soldiers." Shen Ge sneered, "This is the fate of rogue cultivators and small forces. Without power or background, they foolishly run here, and their high mortality rate makes them think it's because of the Cosmic Ark. Little do they know it's all Lu Ya's doing."
Xu Zhun nodded. Time Travel is indeed difficult without power or background. If his teacher hadn't been loyal to a God King, he probably wouldn't have been able to be sent to this Space-Time Territory so easily.
As for this news, Xu Zhun certainly wouldn't let it out.
Now everyone knows who will be delivering vegetables to Lu Ya.
"Xu Zhun, you are Demigod of the Time Faction. There is a great opportunity on the Cosmic Ark that will help you become a god. However, you must be careful to keep a low profile."
Shen Ge Divine General took out a token with many markings on it.
"This is the Karma Token,' which I obtained with great difficulty."
"The value has now reached zero, meaning your causality in this spacetime is also zero, similar to the state of Divine Concealment in the Divine Realm."
"But once you go in, your karma, destiny, and Life Line will fluctuate along with the events, and the values will gradually increase."
Xu Zhun respectfully accepted the Space-Time Karma Token. He knew that his teacher had paid a great price to send him here.
"If the value is positive and exceeds sixty, it proves that you have triggered a minor event of Divine Soldier Level, and that you are having good luck in this event."
"Within the Cosmic Ark, there are many opportunities and events. You can choose which event to engage with based on its display."
"If it exceeds one hundred, that signifies a Divine General Level event, which is extremely auspicious!"
"If you seize this great opportunity just once, you can retreat. I will use the Karma Thread to bring you back."
But I only have one chance to act. It can only be used to save you from this.
Xu Zhun looked at the Karma Token and asked, "Teacher, if the value is negative, do I have to run away?"
"Yes," Shen Ge Divine General, "Sixty degrees below zero, you will be entangled in karmic consequences at the Divine Soldier Level, and it will definitely be bad luck."
"Although your combat strength is comparable to that of a mid-stage Divine Soldier, if you encounter such an event, you must escape as quickly as possible!"
"Because the fall of the Cosmic Ark is a major event, it mostly produces negative consequences; it's easier to encounter bad luck than good luck!"
"If we run too late, we might get involved in something even more terrifying."
"If the reading reaches -100, you'll likely be hunted down by Divine General Level, and your chances of survival will be slim."
"And if you die on the Cosmic Ark, I will have no power to revive you," Shen Ge Divine General said solemnly. "After you die..."
The origin was scattered in the Cosmic Ark, and the thread in my hand snapped. I cannot enter it to reunite you.
"Understood, teacher. I will be wary of both the humans and the gods involved in this incident." Xu Zhun nodded.
"It's not just the people and gods involved in the Cosmic Ark Fall Incident, but also those who entered from outside the event," Shen Ge Divine General emphasized. "The Cosmic Ark Fall Incident brought great benefits, and many god-level forces across endless spacetime covet this place."
"Don't be fooled by the fact that it looks empty outside. In reality, countless Divine General, and even God King, have sent their geniuses into this place."
"Because resurrection here is very difficult to reverse, and conversely, if one becomes a god, it is also very difficult to reverse; their godhood is very stable." Lu Ya has eaten quite a lot, but there will always be some who slip through the net. These are the people you need to worry about the most.
Looking at the dark starry sky around him, Shen Ge Divine General couldn't help but sigh, "Although evil can't prevail over good, this is Space-Time Territory controlled by the Desolate Territory Evil God. We righteous gods have to keep a low profile when we come here."
"This is all I can do as your teacher. The rest is up to you."
"Rest assured, teacher, I will certainly live up to your expectations!" Xu Zhun Xu Zhun bowed to his teacher before stepping off the large black ship.
Watching his disciple leave, Shen Ge Divine General's eyes revealed a trace of worry. Xu Zhun was his most prized disciple, and in the long years, only Xu Huai had the hope of staying with him forever.
Deep down, he didn't want Xu Zhun risks, but if he didn't take a gamble, it would be difficult for Xu Huai to become Divine General.
"Let him take this risk only this once. If he fails, he won't be allowed to come again," Shen Ge Divine General thought to himself. "I hope he succeeds."
As the world turned and time shifted, Zhao Xing flew straight forward in a horizontal direction. After passing through a spacetime pattern of interwoven seven-colored lines that resembled a curtain, he began to fall.
At one point, Zhao Xing regained his footing and saw that the surrounding scenery had brightened up.
What came into view was an endless black ocean, but the ocean was still.
Zhao Xing's first action was to open a history book in his arms.
The words began to appear on the book:
[When the Zhoushan Divine King and the Earth Treasury Divine King of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity were building the fleet of Cosmic Ark, they absorbed three-tenths of each of the three Primordial Sea — the Yuanzang Sea, the Ancient Life Sea, and the New Life Sea— and stored them in three Divine Sea Ark.]
You have descended upon the "Yasi Sea" of the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ark.
[Mysterious Spirit Karma Page (Copy)]
[Effect: Provides causal rationalization and identity selection.]
[One: The Yasi Sea Watcher, Initial Opportunity Thirty]
[Part Two: Disciple of the Penglai Divine General, Initial Opportunity Fifteen]
[Part Three: Earth Sea Divine Mountain Patrol Envoy, Initial Opportunities: Twenty]
The book in Zhao Xing's hand Mysterious Spirit History Fragment Rubbing, which specifically records historical events of this era, including Ten Tables.
The Eight Books, Biographies, and annals, of course, also include the Cosmic Ark incident.
Compared to the Karma Token used by Xu Zhun, the rubbing in Zhao Xing's hand is more powerful, after all, the Spirit Domain Era belongs to the Space-Time Territory owned by the Desolate Territory Faction.
The rationalization of cause and effect is reflected in the identity one possesses within the Cosmic Ark, and also in the probability of obtaining opportunities.
Upon entering, Zhao Xing can first choose from three identities, and each person comes with at least fifteen points of inherent good fortune.
That's the true value of 150 million Contribution Points.
"Three initial identities, each leading to different events."
Zhao Xing continued reading.
Different identities will be followed by corresponding events, both major and minor.
For example, after choosing the Yasi Sea Watcher, the biggest opportunity is as follows:
[A Fortuitous Event: The Collapse of the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ark]
[Time of Occurrence: 341 BC in the Desolate Territory, Year 847 of the Fifth Solar Year. ]
[Historical Background: The Divine Ship shattered, the sky and earth of Ashai collapsed, and the primordial ocean poured out from the Heavenly Cave, forming the outer sea of the Overturning Mountains Domain.]
[Note: The essence of the underwater divine veins preserved in the Yasi Sea has leaked, and its essence can be plundered.]
"847 years into the fifth Solar Year? It's only the 45th year into the first Solar Year now. I still have to wait more than 5,000 years. Although this opportunity is indeed great, the waiting time is too long, and there are too many variables in between. I can hardly guarantee that the cause and effect will remain positive for more than 5,000 years."
Before becoming a god, Zhao Xing couldn't stay in other timelines for too long, otherwise many inexplicable accidents would occur.
Although the Cosmic Ark Fall Incident lasted a long time, the window of opportunity for Demigod to gain an advantage was actually very short. After the first two or three Solar Year, the events that occurred were all god-level events, and even Divine General could not guarantee their survival in such major events.
Wait until that time? That won't be an opportunity, that'll be suicide.
[Disciple of the Penglai Divine General, initial opportunity fifteen]
[A Fortuitous Event: The Penglai Divine General Inheritance]
[Time of Occurrence: 341 BC in the Desolate Territory Era, Year 354 of the Second Solar Year. ]
[Historical Background: The collision involving the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ark awakened the Penglai Divine General, breaking his Divine Concealment and triggering the Seventh Divine Tribulation. Unable to overcome the Divine Tribulation, the Penglai Divine General was about to pass away and planned to choose a disciple to inherit his divine essence.]
[Note: 782,345 Demigod have attempted this, with none succeeding.]
"The matter within the Cosmic Ark is unique; if it's taken, it's gone. This means that so Demigod have tried to take it."
No one has received the Penglai Divine General's Inheritance?
"This looks like it'll be quite difficult."
However, the opportunity to Penglai Divine General Inheritance doesn't require waiting that long; a thousand years is relatively short.
Zhao Xing continued to examine the next identity, "Earth Sea Divine Mountain Patrol Envoy".
[A Fortuitous Event: The Divine Mountain Geological Change]
[Time of Occurrence: 341 BC in the Desolate Territory, First Solar Year, years 325, 452, and 574.]
[Historical Background: The two great God King moved three-tenths of each of the three Primordial Sea — the Yuanzang Sea, the Ancient Life Sea, and the New Life Sea —and within the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ark, the "Yuanzang Divine Mountain" was used to suppress the Primordial Sea.]
[Note: The Yuanzang Divine Mountain contains the "Earth God Crystal Earth God Crystal," which contains pure divine essence. During the migration of the Cosmic Ark, the Sacred Mountain underwent several geological changes, causing the Earth God Crystal to leak out. Becoming Mountain Patrol Envoy allows you to seize the opportunity to retrieve the Earth God Crystal.]
Upon seeing this, Zhao Xing's eyes lit up!
"Earth God Crystal! It contains the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong, and the most recent geological upheaval is scheduled to occur in only 280 years."
Of course, Zhao Xing also saw the risks involved.
"If we consider the Cosmic Ark as a story instance, the gods who originally existed on this ship are the 'story characters.' Stealing too much will definitely increase the karmic burden, and may even expose the rationalized identity given to them by the Mysterious Spirit History."
"They might even be hunted down."
It's obvious if you think about it: Zhao Xing wasn't originally a member of the Cosmic Ark and wasn't on this list. The reason he was able to get in was because he was disguised.
It was as if the Mysterious Spirit History had cast a group spell called "Plum Replaces Peach," making everyone believe that Zhao Xing was originally a member of this ship.
The effect was similar to when Dongyan Sea became the Yuan Sea Kingdom Lord.
However, if one goes too far and their actions are seriously inconsistent with this identity, they will be exposed.
"However, compared to the other two identities, becoming Earth Sea Divine Mountain Patrol Envoy you'll encounter opportunities very quickly, and the variables are relatively small."
"As long as you're not greedy, it's definitely the best choice."
Zhao Xing immediately made his mark in the history books.
[To minimize causal relationships, please select a pseudonym.]
Zhao Xing originally wanted to use Liu Tianning's name, but then he thought that Old Liu might come to this place in the future, so he gave up on the idea.
In the end, he randomly chose an alias.
Han Bing.
[The pseudonym is now in effect.]
[Identity confirmed. You have become the Third-Rank Mountain Patrol Envoy of the Cosmic Ark, the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ark, the Earth Sea Divine Mountain, and the Yas Sea Region.]
Time seemed to begin turning from that moment on, and Zhao Xing felt a layer of great power protecting his entire body from the inside out.
"Splash!"
The moment he confirmed, Zhao Xing noticed the black tide beginning to move. At the same time, the numbers on the cause-and-effect page started jumping, from 0 to 1, then to 3, and then slowly fluctuating between 3 and 4.
"This means the event has already begun," Zhao Xing thought to himself.
He began to examine his surroundings extensively.
Before he could observe for long, a wave crashed in from afar, and an Emperor Lord Realm appeared on its crest.
Zhao Xing observed the panel and immediately obtained the information.
[You Man]
[Position: Weishan Army]
[Occupation: Warrior]
[Eight Tribulation Emperor Lord]
[Remaining lifespan: 0.5 epochs]
"Only 0.5 epochs left? It seems this is a historical figure who was already present in the events on the Cosmic Ark, rather than a newcomer seeking an opportunity."
Because the destruction of the Cosmic Ark is a foregone conclusion, and with the fate of the entire Cosmic Ark, and even including the two great God King...
None of them lasted more than one epoch.
All the historical figures originally on the Cosmic Ark lived only in the 341st century before the Desolate Territory.
"After the destruction of the Cosmic Ark, the Human Race's high command attempted to alter the fate of Cosmic Ark on board, but the great event of the Eighth Anniversary was too significant to change. Reviving an Emperor Lord Realm would come at a price comparable to reviving a Divine Soldier in ordinary times."
"As for resurrecting the gods, the price would be even greater; it would be almost impossible to reverse their fate and resurrect them in the outside world." Zhao Xing sighed inwardly.
Kuang Chuan conducted experiments in the Black Heaven Desolate Territory, killing many people in the process. Some were resurrected, while others could not be resurrected. The same was true of the Yuanhai Ancient Kingdom Dharma Assembly incident.
The situation is even more serious for the Cosmic Ark, with costs far exceeding what can be afforded.
"You Man pays his respects to the Mountain Patrol Envoy! I was unaware of your arrival in my Weishan Army territory; I have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me, Mountain Patrol Envoy." Emperor Lord Youman said respectfully.
I have prepared a banquet; I wonder if you would do me the honor of attending?
"Commander You Man, you've gone to so much trouble. I'm just making a quick inspection and will be leaving soon." Zhao Xing didn't want to cause any more trouble.
Perhaps Emperor Lord Youman could trigger some minor opportunities, but he wouldn't be interested.
"Whoosh~" Zhao Xing flew towards the area he was guarding.
"Gone?" Emperor Lord Youman blinked, and Zhao Xing had vanished. "What a pity, I didn't get a chance to learn anything from him."
Like the outside world, most of the gods within the Cosmic Ark are in a state of hibernation Divine Concealment.
To minimize wear and tear, one could even say the entire Cosmic Ark this way.
Demigod like "Han Bing" wields power virtually indistinguishable from that of a god, especially since he is also a patrolling envoy. If he could offer some guidance, he would undoubtedly reap significant rewards.
You Man was about to return to the Weishan Army's territory, but he quickly stopped and exclaimed.
"Whenever a Demigod comes to the territory of my Weishan Army, is he merely passing through?"
You Man then headed towards the location indicated by the token.
Three World Yuan Unit away, a figure slowly emerged, none other than Venerable Xu Huai.
"They're in."
"My current identity is that of the Earth Sea Divine Mountain, the third-tier deputy patrol officer of the Yas Seabed. I only have one person above me in charge."
It's a Demigod Farmer named "Han Bing" who serves as the Minister of Agriculture.
"The rest are just at my level."
Xu Zhun quickly became familiar with his identity.
In such places, identity is very important. Having an identity makes one's actions much more reasonable. Otherwise, even if one has great strength, killing a mere soldier could reduce the causal relationship to negative sixty percent.
"Commander You Man of the Weishan Army greets the Mountain Patrol Envoy. I was unaware of your Mountain Patrol Envoy and have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me." You Man said respectfully.
However, he wasn't as enthusiastic towards Xu Huai, and didn't even mention the banquet.
After all, there is only one chief patrol officer, but many deputy patrol officers, so he may not be able to give him any guidance.
But even Xu Zhun is still very useful.
"The identity token the teacher gave me is really useful."
"When I went to other places, the guards treated me Guest Qi."
Xu Zhun didn't exchange pleasantries with You Man either, and flew away immediately.
"It just flew away? How rude. What's with this deputy envoy acting so arrogantly?" You Man muttered to himself.
When Gangtan encountered the envoy, although the envoy was indifferent, he still managed to say a few words to him.
This deputy envoy, however, acted extremely arrogantly.
"Since the border crossing is so far, it needs to be recorded." You Man returned to the Weishan Army and recorded Xu Huai's appearance in the register.
On the other side, Venerable Xu Huai suddenly felt a response from the Eight Rivers.
"Hmm? My Karma Token... why hasn't it decreased a little?"
"Strange, I just came in and I already ran into a mere Emperor Lord Realm. How could I lose a little bit like that?"
Xu Zhun hadn't flown far when he noticed some changes in his causal value.
Although an 81-point causal value only represents a trivial matter, it is still a causal event.
Xu Zhun simply couldn't understand that the negative karma he had created was purely because he was impolite, which Emperor Lord Youman had noted down in his little notebook.
The Yas Sea Domain.
With a whoosh, a whirlpool appeared, and Zhao Xing entered it, then followed the whirlpool to his residence as the envoy.
"This is my underwater palace."
Zhao Xing scanned the area and discovered that the underwater palace was quite large. It floated on a mountain millions of miles deep in the ocean, with a continuous mountain range and many palace buildings.
"I govern the Yas Sea Domain, which spans approximately 3,000 World Yuan Unit. The activities of the underground mountains are influenced by the Shenzhou movement, and we, the Mountain Envoys, are needed to suppress them."
"Our daily work is to prevent large-scale geological changes from occurring underground."
The Primordial Sea is home to many life forms, such as marine mammals, aquatic creatures, and even underwater cities built by humans.
Because the Hai Shi Ocean is stored inside the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ark, while the mortals outside this divine ship are experiencing different cosmic territories.
If one passes through certain dangerous places, the drastic changes in the external environment can also lead to internal upheavals.
"I wonder how many people from the Evil God Faction have come here." After arriving at the palace, Zhao Xing checked a roster.
It was discovered that there are 35 deputy envoys in the Yas Sea Domain, as well as some other positions, such as the Watcher, which was previously available to Zhao Xing.
"At sea, there are leaders of various departments and units, plus leaders of different races who have no official positions but live on the seabed."
Adding them all up, there are probably over ten thousand Demigod.
"However, my duty as the Mountain Patrol Envoy is only to oversee the geological changes underground. My superior is a Free God named the Sea God Bilo."
"He is in a deep sleep year-round and hardly ever interferes in anything. The one at a higher level is the Divine General Yuebi who governs the Earth Sea Divine Mountain and the shelter of the mountain ranges."
After putting down the roster, Zhao Xing sat down in a chair and began communicating with Bowei in Internal World.
Yan Ao and Lu Ya wouldn't give him any advice, because they hadn't even come in; instead, they were standing outside the domain to guide him.
Only General Hua Li and Bowei, who were in their own Internal World, were considered to have entered along with them.
After understanding the situation, Bowei casually asked, "The event is still 280 years away. Do you plan to avoid unnecessary karmic burdens and wait until the Divine Mountain Geological Change to steal the Earth God Crystal?"
"No." Zhao Xing shook his head. "If that's the case, then I'll have wasted the identity I bought with 150 million contribution points." So, what do you plan to do?
Zhao Xing glanced at the roster, a smile playing on his lips, "Such a small place, yet so many deputy envoys—there must be some heretics from the side of the Evil God."
"I plan to identify which of the Evil God's agents are heretics, and then, after they steal the Earth God Crystal, I'll cut off their opportunity."
"On my own, the amount of Earth God Crystal that He obtains is limited, and I cannot bear such a heavy burden of karma."
"I can't carry it myself, so I'll have to ask someone to carry it for me."
Bowei listened to Zhao Xing's plan, he couldn't help but sneer:
"He profits from the fisherman's scheme, shifts the blame eastward, and uses the chaos to his advantage; you truly are worthy of being his disciple."
Bowei's "self-eight" was not the Five Poisons, nor the Guluo, but Qing Yuzi, because he always believed that Qing Yuzi was Zhao Xing's true teacher.
Qing Yuzi became a god by taking advantage of the Divine Temple's connections, hiding behind the scenes and reaping the benefits. In the end Dongyan Ancient Clan took the blame, while he himself gained the Opportunity to Become a God. In Bowei's eyes, Hewei's price was very small, much smaller than the price he, Bowei, paid to become a god.
Zhao Xing came in and immediately came up with this plan; he was incredibly skilled.
The things he did with Qing Yuzi were not just similar, they were exactly the same.
But Zhao Xing strongly disagreed. Did this really need Lao Qing to teach him? The players had mature experience; if anyone should be learning, it should be Lao Qing learning from him!
"Zhao Xing, I have to warn you," Bowei said in a deep voice, "Those who can travel through time to this era are all from the Heavenly Carpet; those who can successfully enter by bypassing Lu Ya all have powerful connections."
Be careful not to go too far.
"Yes, thank you for the reminder, Elder. I understand." Zhao Xing nodded, but inwardly he didn't take it seriously.
A sky carpet? We're all vying for that chance to own a sky carpet!
I wouldn't even bother grabbing it if it weren't a heavenly carpet.
"Bowei was so arrogant when he launched his God Creation Project, even managing to collect most of the Mysterious Spirit History, but now he's acting all timid and hesitant."
It felt like walking on thin ice.
"He's ten times stronger when he turns evil, and three times weaker when he turns good."
Zhao Xing thought to himself, "This is what I'm complaining about."
The next fifty years were fifty years in which Zhao Xing wandered the waters of the Yas Sea Domain.
With panel observation, every glance is accurate.
Anyone whose lifespan exceeds one era is undoubtedly a Descendant.
Zhao Xing would summon them under the pretext of work, or Lin Dong would go to the deputy envoy's cave to inspect. Over the course of fifty years, the 35 deputy envoys who patrolled the mountains had undergone a simple investigation.
The final result was a huge surprise to Zhao Xing.
"Of the thirty-five deputy mountain patrol envoys, thirty-one are descendants?"
"Based on this probability, could it be that 90% of the tribes in the Yas Sea Domain are foreign invaders?"
"Can't they all be honest people? So many old fogies are just huddled here waiting for a chance?"
Zhao Xing was greatly shocked when he saw this data.
The Yas Sea Domain has various departments and divisions, as well as other Demigod. Even if the Cosmic Ark is biased towards the Agricultural Official dungeon, based on this probability, who knows how many people would be hiding in the shadows and waiting for it.
"Are there enough Earth God Crystal to mine?" Zhao Xing couldn't help but imagine this scene: in the dark forest, a divine plant was about to bloom and bear fruit, while in the depths of the gloomy forest, several pairs of green eyes were staring at it.
Zhao Xing decided that he would also spend the rest of his time visiting the various departments, tribes, and ethnic groups in the Yas Sea Domain.
Let's see how many more old men are still lurking in this sea area, waiting for the Divine Mountain Geological Change.
As time passed, Zhao Xing used his identity to travel around the Yas Sea Domain.
"The Sea Beast Priest have seventeen Demigod among them, one of whom, named 'You Tuo,' is a sixteenth-tier Demigod. He gives me a sense of threat; he is definitely a monster with god-level combat power."
"The Martial God Division has thirty-six Demigod who descended to earth, one of whom is named 'Su Long,' but I can't remember him."
"Horned Abyss Snake? There are seven of them here out of eight. Oh, they are Ancient Demon Race. They must have boarded the Cosmic Ark with the Zhoushan Divine King, which makes sense."
"Na Xi, Demigod- level musician from the Sea Demon Race, is also a Descendant? This is a race that has become extinct."
In the past 130 years, Zhao Xing has not visited all the various departments, tribes, and ethnic groups.
Because the visitors are very low-key, they simply use the excuse of going into seclusion before any fortuitous events occur, without even showing their faces, so there is naturally no opportunity to observe them.
However, after a period of observation, Zhao Xing still made many discoveries.
"This is abnormally high. This is just a regional instance of the Cosmic Ark. How can there be so many invaders in Jueba?"
The Ark of Space-Time was transported to the Desolate Territory 341 epochs ago. Zhao Xing didn't know how many of his own people were transported there, but he was sure that very few were his own.
"Fortunately, I'm in the shadows, while they're in the light; that's an advantage."
"However, when it comes to fighting, I can't use my usual techniques anymore," Zhao Xing thought to himself. "The Five Extremes Spirit Pearls Earth Palace, the Five-Finger Demon God Earth Palace, and the Layered World Mountain Method are all unusable."
Using these spells carries the risk of revealing one's identity.
"The only things I haven't used are the God-Level Hou Bian Method and the Divine Arts of the True Self Faction. As for the troop types, I've only used the Star-Devouring Grass once in the Bai Han Realm."
"The Time Law and the Nine-Layer Source Thunder can be used, but the Straw Man Art won't work; it will expose everything."
Plan boldly, but act cautiously.
Zhao Xing thought to himself silently.
As time passed, the time of the Divine Mountain Geological Change drew ever closer.
A month before the fortuitous event occurred, Zhao Xing issued an edict inviting 35 deputy mountain patrol officers to his cave to discuss official business.
In the underwater palace, Demigod Lei Hong frowned as he looked at the order.
"Hmm? At this crucial moment, the chief envoy suddenly summoned all the deputy envoys, but didn't say what it was about. Could this be an obstacle to obtaining the opportunity?"
Lei Hong glanced at the Karma Token and fell into thought.
Finally, he replied to the person who came to report, "Please go back and tell the chief envoy that I have important business to attend to and cannot leave."
The Emperor Lord Realm, who came to report, looked troubled. "Vice Envoy Hong, my master says it's urgent and you must be present."
"I said I'm not going!" Lei Hong shouted, "Just report it!"
"Yes." The Emperor Lord Realm immediately left the palace and returned to Zhao Xing's cave.
When the people Zhao Xing sent left, Lei Hong immediately noticed that the mark on the Karma Token had dropped by twelve points.
"There's no other way, we have to do this. Who knows how long it will take after we roll it out?"
Disobeying the envoy's orders will inevitably create additional consequences, something Lei Hong had anticipated long ago.
Compared to obtaining the Earth God Crystal, this price was worthwhile. He didn't want to miss it and had to get to the other palace in the place of opportunity as soon as possible. A middle-aged woman with a stunning figure and exquisite face also received Zhao Xing's order.
"Did the envoy say what official business it was?" Venerable Jade Flute asked.
"The envoy only said it was confidential official business, and we have no right to know."
"Report back to the chief envoy, I will go shortly."
Although Venerable Jade Flute didn't intend to go, her answer was rather tactful, intended to buy some time.
After all, there's only a month left until the event, and if we delay even a little, all official business will have to wait.
"Han Bing has summoned the Deputy Envoy of the River?" Venerable Xu Huai also received the news at this time. "This is really dangerous. In the past two hundred and eighty years, my stats have dropped to negative twenty. If I disobey this order again, I'm afraid something bad will happen."
Although Xu Zhun was very careful and cautious when he first entered the village, he still accumulated a lot of karmic burdens Hai Yin to his personality.
"I think I'd better not go take a look. With my strength, I can get quite a few Earth God Crystal even if I have to forcibly seize them."
We can't afford to add any more burden now.

Ultimately, of the 35 deputy envoys, only six obeyed the order, four of whom were characters from the main storyline.
The other two are the Descendants.
"One is named Xu Huai, and the other is named Zhuo Hua. Are these two from Ju Ba here to obey orders?" Zhao Xing Xingmu asked, gesturing to the two men.
"Six Vice Envoys, there have been frequent unusual movements in the underwater mountain range lately. I had intended to gather everyone to discuss official matters, but I never expected that so many of you vice envoys would disregard this!"
"The Yas Sea Domain is a crucial place, the foundation of the entire universe."
He was extremely impatient with the Xu Zhun of the statement.
This Venerable Han Bing, no matter how he talks, it's all just grand theories, and who knows how long he'll keep rambling on and on.
He even regretted coming.
The momentous event was about to begin, and he was still sitting there waiting. Xu Zhun felt utterly ashamed of his teacher's high expectations.
"Special Envoy Han!" Finally, Xu Zhun couldn't hold back any longer. "Since so many deputy envoys haven't come, why don't we discuss this later?"
Upon Venerable Weihua also looked at Venerable Han Bing in the hall. She also longed to leave this place as soon as possible and gain the opportunity to move freely.
Zhao Xing remained silent for a moment, then said in a low voice, "It seems that you two are hiding something from me?"
Xu Zhun's heart skipped a beat, but he still calmly shook his head. "No."
"If there's nothing there, why are you in such a hurry to leave?"
"Special Envoy Han don't misunderstand." Venerable Weihua stepped in to smooth things over. "Envoy Fang Tan also said that there have been frequent earthquakes recently, and we just wanted to return to guard the underwater mountain range to avoid delaying our mission."
Zhao Xing snorted coldly, "Since that's the case, you two may leave on your own."
Xu Zhun and Zhuo Hua exchanged a glance and immediately took their leave.
After leaving the cave, the two glanced at their respective Karma Token and, finding that the values had not decreased, breathed a sigh of relief. Then, they both transformed into streaks of light and disappeared.
After the two left, Zhao Xing continued to leisurely discuss official business with the four deputy envoys, the content of which was all nonsense that did not add to the karmic burden.
They seem to be in no hurry to seize any opportunities or events.
Time passed quickly, and it was soon the year 325.
Suddenly, a loud rumble shook the palace, the seabed trembled, and the water rippled outwards, blurring the clear seabed like a distorted mirror.
"What happened?!"
Why is the seabed shaking?!
"A geological upheaval has occurred!"
What level of geological change?
The four deputy envoys immediately looked at the slender crystal pillar in the palace, which was a transparent crystal pillar inserted into the seabed.
But at this moment, earth fire erupted, surpassing the Seventh Order engraved fire, and then Shuiquan spouted from the fire, Shuiquan suddenly solidified into gold.
Ultimately, this caused cracks to appear in the entire Geological Change Instrument!
"Oh no, something terrible is about to happen!"
"Such a geological upheaval is likely to lead to a major catastrophe."
"Lord Han, please allow us to take our leave!"
"The four of you must go immediately." Zhao Xing feigned shock as well, adding, "Please maintain contact and investigate the source of the earthquake."
"Yes!"
After the four deputy envoys withdrew, Zhao Xing glanced at the History Book Rubbing.
The writing was clearly visible above.
[In the first Solar Year, 325, the fortuitous event "Divine Mountain Geological Change" was triggered, and the divine essence transformed into Earth God Crystal, which appeared in the underwater mountain range.]
[Your luck stat in this event has increased to 99 points.]
"It's finally here."
Without further hesitation, Zhao Xing immediately followed the directions indicated by the Profound Spirit History Book Replica and left the cave.
"Booming Heart"
As soon as Zhao Xing left the cave, he was struck by a powerful surge of water, Zhao Xing remained as still as a bell.
Looking out, a vast number of underwater lighthouses within a million miles began to go out.
The Earth Vein surged, underwater volcanoes erupted, and ocean currents surged.
Whirlpools, mudflows, pitch blackness.
"The Divine Mountain Earth Vein, disrupting the celestial order. Actions taken underwater at this time are difficult to detect, making it the perfect time to excavate the Earth God Crystal."
"Time is limited; we must arrive before the Divine Realm awakens and plunder quickly."
He coaxed Zhao Xing into sinking into the underwater mountain range.
Four spiraling Earth Vein appeared around him, representing the four pillars of earth, metal, wood, and water.
It was as if four mysterious gates were guarding him within.
"The Divine Art of the Profound Earth Faction, the Four Pillars Profound Gate."
"Of the five elements of the Earth Vein, only the Earth Gate remains unchanged, while the other four gates interact with the external environment. This Mysterious Profound Earth Escape Art possesses powerful environmental adaptability."
Zhao Xing moved through the underground, with large amounts of soil passing through the front door and exiting through the back and the two doors on the left and right.
When encountering metal or stone, it transforms into a fire gate; when encountering heavy water, it transforms into a fire gate. Regardless of how turbulent the journey on the seabed may be, Zhao Xing's speed of advance remains constant.
The Divine Mountain Earth Vein are hidden deep within the earth and are not usually visible, but now, Golden Light occasionally shines out from the seabed.
The powerful divine energy fluctuations were quickly diluted by the seawater, while others formed into glittering golden crystals.
"Hahaha, I'm so lucky! I found the Earth God Crystal so quickly!"
Venerable Lei Hong was overjoyed and grabbed the three head-sized divine crystals in his hands.
"Ah, so comfortable," Venerable Lei Hong exclaimed, completely absorbed. "Earth God Crystal, this is the Earth God Crystal. I feel that ordinary divine power is unyielding and invincible, but this Earth God Crystal encompasses everything. Once you leave, even Ninth Order Demigod can absorb it."
Just as Venerable Lei Hong was enjoying himself, a warning suddenly appeared in his mind, and his expression changed as he looked at a volcano behind him.
From within the billowing black smoke of the volcano, a voice suddenly rang out. "Please put away the Earth God Crystal. This is a divine object of the Ancient Hill of Antiquity and should be handed over."
"Hand it over?"
Lei Hong sneered inwardly, "This is exactly what I came here for. I've been walking on thin ice for over two hundred years, how could I possibly hand it over!"
But Lei Hong didn't want to cause any more trouble. He hadn't made enough money yet, and it wouldn't be worth getting entangled with people now.
"Swoosh"
Lei Hong clutched the three Earth God Crystal and immediately fled.
"Please hand over the Earth God Crystal."
Lei Hong's expression changed slightly, because the voice appeared in front of him.
He suddenly changed direction and fled.
"Please hand over the Earth God Crystal."
But after a short while, the sound appeared again in front of them.
After four consecutive attempts to change direction, Lei Hong still couldn't shake off the mysterious man, and a sense of unease began to creep into his heart.
"May I ask who you are, sir?"
"I always know who you are, so I'll give it to you."
Lei Hong asked tentatively.
The water flow swirled and twisted, revealing Zhao Xing's figure.
Han Bing Bingzheng, is Hai Lai his envoy?
Recalling Han Bing's previous actions as the Mountain Patrol Envoy, Venerable Lei Hong had a certain suspicion. "You've also come for an opportunity, haven't you? Let's all go our separate ways, why make things difficult for me?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about. Quickly release the Earth God Crystal!" Zhao Xing shouted sternly.
Lei Hong looked at Han Bing and realized that she didn't seem like an outsider, which made him feel more at ease.
As Demigod, he could be considered a celestial being in multiple timelines; otherwise, he wouldn't have come here.
However, this Han Bing envoy cannot be called a celestial carpet; it is merely an earlier version of the Cosmic Ark.
"Putting on airs, a nobody like you thinks you can take food from my hands? How laughable!"
"My friend, I'm sorry." Half an hour later, Lei Hong was pressed to the ground by an Earth Palace, earnestly repenting, "I was just speaking recklessly, blinded by the Earth God Crystal. My friend, please be magnanimous and let me go."
Lei Hong was defeated quickly. He was a sixteenth-order Demigod and thought that dealing with Han Bing would be a piece of cake.
However, Zhao Xing was Eighteenth Level Demigod. Even without using familiar spells and suppressing his strength, he still easily suppressed Lei Hong.
After exchanging blows, Lei Hong realized that this so-called Han Bing envoy was definitely a Descendant, just like himself!
When venturing out on an adventure, aside from everything else, one absolutely needs to have a keen eye. Lei Hong could tell at a glance that the opponent's strength far surpassed his own.
As for admitting defeat, Lei Hong had no psychological burden whatsoever. If he couldn't even accept this little setback and failure, what kind of god would he be? "You were quite arrogant just now. Which god are you under?" Zhao Xing asked.
"I am a disciple of General Lingyang, under the command of the Heaven Divine King Xi," Lei Hong respectfully. "May I ask which righteous god you are a disciple of? Perhaps you are an ally?"
Lei Hong had no idea that Zhao Xing was involved, after all, Zhao Xing was the Agricultural Official in the Desolate Territory Era, while he was from the Luo Emperor Era, with several years separating them and the barrier of Time Barrier.
However, in Lei Hong's understanding, the powerful Heavenly Carpet, when it was the Eighth Capital, was in the time and space radiated by the Five Emperors Era.
The Desolate Territory Era? He had heard of such a Space-Time Territory where Evil God gathered, but how could such a small place possess such a powerful Agricultural Official?
"You still want to find out my identity?" Zhao Xing sneered.
"I wouldn't dare," Lei Hong quickly shut his mouth.
"However, it wouldn't hurt to reveal a little bit. I am a disciple of the True God Renliang." If Zhao Xing were to kill Lei Hong, he would also increase his karmic burden. He wanted to collect more Earth God Crystal and didn't want to leave so soon.
Since Ba Lei Hong mistakenly believes that he is affiliated with Evil God, he can conveniently use the title of True God Jinliang to confuse the public.
"Hai Lai is True God!" Lei Hong exclaimed in surprise. "No wonder you're so strong. If you don't admit defeat, we'll leave now."
Who said I was going to force you to leave?
"Huh?" Lei Hong was taken aback.
Zhao Xing pointed, and two of the three Earth God Crystal floated to his front.
Upon seeing this, Lei Hong immediately understood and couldn't help but curse inwardly.
"That damned disciple of the True God, he's trying to use me!"
"I only took one Earth God Crystal, but I have to bear the karma of three?!"
If Zhao Xing were to kill him, he would unnecessarily add to Zhao Xing's karma. However, Zhao Xing still had a final trump card: to use the Guardian Zha Divine General from the outside world to act in accordance with the Karma Thread and destiny, and rescue Zhao Xing in a life-or-death situation.
However, this chance encounter and adventure of his came to an end.
Now Zhao Xing has let Lei Hong go and even left him an Earth God Crystal, so Lei Hong is reluctant to leave.
However, if he didn't want to make a wasted trip, he would have to share the consequences of Zhao Xing stealing the Earth God Crystal.
This is why Zhao Xing said he was True God Jinliang, and Hai Yin losing to a competitor from his own camp would lessen Lei Hong's resentment.
If he claimed to be from the Desolate Territory Era, then it would be a matter of stance, and even if Lei Hong wanted to, he wouldn't dare to surrender!
Zhao Xing gave them this sliver of an opportunity because he understood that these Evil God gods had paid a heavy price.
Having Time Travel at great cost, would Lei Hong be willing to make this trip for nothing?
Lei Hong fell silent, and during that time, his mind was filled with profanities.
Within his Internal World, Bowei watched the scene unfolding on the seabed and was speechless.
The fact that Lei Hong remained silent and thoughtful instead of turning around and leaving was particularly heartbreaking for him.
"Resist? Go ahead and resist! You've traveled all this way across time and space just to work for this brat Zhao Xing?!"
However, Lei Hong still disappointed Bowei. With a smile on his face, he picked up the Earth God Crystal.
"Thank you for making this possible, my friend."
