Golden Cicada Dharma Form, the First Opportunity Event Ends

After entering Qi Palace Peak, Lei Hong and Chu Ji were shocked to find ten thousand cubic meters of Earth God Crystal neatly stacked in the Water Bamboo Grove!

The divine light was dazzling, and the descending beings instinctively felt greed.

Chu Ji, in particular, felt that if he could monopolize these Earth God Crystal, he could leave immediately after this trip, since his demands were not that high.

"As a divine object of the Earth Vein, the Earth God Crystal can be used as a consumable. It's an extremely powerful tonic. No wonder Venerable Jade Flute's aura didn't diminish at all after the battle." Lei Hong looked at the small mountain of crystals, his breathing becoming somewhat rapid. "If it were me, I wouldn't give in either."

"Venerable Han, it's all here." Liu Qingci with some heartache, "Exactly ten thousand cubic meters, no more, no less."

Lei Hong, Chu Ji, Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, Dang You, Quan De, and Ning Si, a total of seven Demigod, all focused their attention on Zhao Xing.

Could it be that Venerable Han would really be willing to share with them as promised?

Rather than a trial.

"Venerable Jade Flute, you may take ten percent," Zhao Xing said calmly.

According to the previous contract, Liu Qingci was allowed to take one-tenth of the harvest this time, which was one thousand cubic meters.

After that, you only need to hand over 50% of any profits.

With a "whoosh," Liu Qingci reached out and collected the thousand cubic meters of Water Bamboo Grove.

She didn't leave immediately, but instead watched to see if Zhao Xing and his eight companions would have any disagreements about dividing the spoils.

Lei Hong, Chu Ji, and the others didn't move either, waiting for Zhao Xing to continue.

Zhao Xing first collected 4,500 of them, which increased his karmic burden. However, Zhao Xing acted as if nothing had happened, his eyes scanning the other seven people one by one.

His gaze swept over the three more powerful individuals— Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, and Lei Hong —as well as the three who had been slacking off earlier— Dang You, Quan De, and Ning Si —before finally settling on Chu Ji.

"As I said before, once the job is done, half of it will be distributed according to the work done."

"In this battle, Chu Ji made the greatest contribution; he took two thousand doses."

Everyone was shocked, and they looked at Zhao Xing with disbelief.

Is this a real breakup? Or just a test?

No one dared to voice their opinion, Chu Ji didn't dare to move either.

Zhao Xing said calmly, "Chu Ji, what are you still standing there for?"

Chu Ji cupped his hands in embarrassment, unconsciously changing his form of address. "Venerable Han, I... I cannot bear so much karmic burden."

Chu Ji's answer surprised Zhao Xing.

But he soon understood why.

Chu Ji had no master or power; he was a true rogue cultivator. He simply bought a ticket to the Opportunity from the Shadow Sanctum and came to the Desolate Territory 341 Opportunity, boarding a spaceship.

Ticket prices also vary.

For example, Zhao Xing is protected by the "Profound Spirit History Book Replica". After entering, his status is higher, and the rubbing can also take the initiative to share some of the "Evil Cause Evil Result".

He took four thousand cubic meters of Earth God Crystal, but his karma value only decreased by 40 points.

The next level of ticket is the "Karma Token" held by Lei Hong and Xu Huai.

It can also share some of the causal burden, but not as much.

Zhao Xing, Liu Qingci, Lei Hong, Xu Zhun, and others, along with their protectors, were watching.

Chu Ji was completely different. His expenses at the Shadow Sanctum mainly included the Time Travel project, as well as a mid-level [Historical Post] related to the Cosmic Ark incident.

The mid-tier [Historical Post] has a randomized status. The fact that Chu Ji was able to obtain the position of Deputy Mountain Patrol Envoy is because he was lucky. As for the function of sharing the consequences, it is very low.

Take the theft of the Earth God Crystal as an example.

Lei Hong and Liu Qingci took 2,000 cubic meters, which increased the causal burden and was reflected in the numerical value as a decrease of 40 points.

Chu Ji takes 2000 square meters, the price will drop by 100 points!

This could have terrible consequences. For example, as soon as Chu Ji finished taking it, the sleeping Free God Biluo would immediately wake up, suspect that Chu Ji had stolen the Earth God Crystal, and then immediately arrest, interrogate, and execute him.

In Chu Ji's case, he has to wait for time to process some of the cause and effect, and then take a little bit, like ants carrying food.

"You really can't handle it?" Zhao Xing asked, confirming.

"I really can't take it."

Chu Ji felt a little ashamed, secretly regretting that he hadn't prepared more thoroughly. With the treasure right in front of him, he couldn't lift it. How could he make progress like this?

And with so many people watching me, I felt like a country bumpkin.

However, Chu Ji never expected to encounter something like this after entering the Cosmic Ark!

Just as Chu Ji felt ashamed, Zhao Xing's voice rang out again.

"In that case, I'll lend you a hand."

Zhao Xing then seized one thousand of them.

At this moment, Zhao Xing's causal burden increased by 10 points. He was originally positive, but now it is approaching a negative value.

"Roar."

Zhao Xing let out a low roar, and his body suddenly swelled up, enveloped in Golden Light, as if a cicada was crawling on his back.

Golden Cicada True Form - Double Body, activate!

"Bang!"

A bolt of lightning flashed, and Zhao Xing severed the two bodies.

Then he gently pushed the Earth God Crystal in front of Chu Ji.

"This 1,000 cubic meters won't add to your burden, and you should be able to handle the remaining 1,000 cubic meters on your own."

Chu Ji stared at Zhao Xing, clearly taken aback for a moment.

Liu Qingci, Yi Zhen, Lei Hong, and others shrank back.

"The Golden Cicada True Form, with Ten-Thousand Bodies —he actually knows this magic?"

"To be able to master such Divine Art is truly remarkable."

"I also have ways to reduce the causal burden, but compared with Han Bing's methods, they are not even in the same league."

Zhao Xing's behavior immediately extinguished any wicked thoughts that Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, Lei Hong, Dang You, Quan De, Ning Si had in mind.

Chu Ji finished taking his share, Zhao Xing distributed the remaining 2,500 cubic meters of Earth God Crystal.

"Lei Hong, you get six hundred cubic meters of Earth God Crystal."

"Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, each of you take five hundred doses."

"Dang You, Quan De, Ning Si, you three will each receive three hundred."

As the allocation plan was proposed, a spiritual tablet bearing the image of Yin Zai, located within Liu Qingci's body, emitted a voice.

"Such methods are reminiscent of those of Immeasurable True God."

"It's impossible for them to fight amongst themselves because they can't divide the spoils equally."

"Lei Hong, Yue Zhen, and Yi Kun all contributed roughly the same amount of effort, but Lei Hong submitted his bid earlier, so he was given an extra hundred cubic meters."

"Dang You, Quan De, Ning Si took the fewest because they held back a lot during the battle just now."

"Han Bing's assignments were all based on his thorough understanding of the situation."

"After this round of allocation, the Mountain Patrol Divine Department of the Yas Sea Domain will probably all be under his control."

Liu Qingci nodded in agreement. This Han Bing was tough and capable, with knowledge comparable to a scholar, and he didn't hog the spoils. Luckily, he was on the side of the righteous gods; if he were the Desolate Territory Evil God, he would definitely be a very troublesome opponent.

"God, if we don't seek opportunities in the Yas Sea Domain, where should we go?" The contract between Liu Qingci and Zhao Xing was quite equal; she could choose to wait for opportunities here or go elsewhere.

Yin Zai Divine General, "You can stay here for now. This Venerable Han Bing is still orderly and not the kind of evil person who acts without restraint."

"If we change locations, we'll have to change roles, which would waste a Historical Post to 'change' the identity of the event. Now is not the time."

After the Earth God Crystal were divided up, everyone used their own methods to reduce their karmic burden.

Zhao Xing quietly observed the seven people, trying to discern something from their spellcasting methods, but ultimately found nothing.

"Elder, are any of our own people among these arrivals?"

"Probably not," Bowei thought to himself. "What, you've discovered something?"

It's not just a discovery, it's a major discovery!

"Elder, this is what I think: the Mountain Patrol Divine Department has thirty-five deputy envoys, and including myself as the chief envoy, there are thirty-two Descendants among the thirty-six people."

"Based on this probability, there are probably many other descendants among the other divine priests as well."

Bowei didn't answer, but instead asked, "I've always been curious, how did you confirm that these people belong to the Adventists?"

"My teacher—"

"If you don't want to say it, then don't. There's no need to use such a lame excuse," Bowei interrupted impatiently.

Zhao Xing chuckled.

He can't very well say that he has a panel that allows him to distinguish between Descendants and Non-Descendants based on their remaining lifespan.

Bowei didn't take it to heart and slowly analyzed:

"As I said before, you created the Ten Directions Mountain Scripture, but you cannot be influenced by the Evil God Faction. So after you travel through time and space to become a god, there will inevitably be Evil God who will come to pursue you and interrupt your path to godhood."

"Once they do that, you will naturally develop distrust and insecurity towards the Desolate Territory Faction."

"The purpose of intimidation and threats will be achieved, and you will very likely turn to the Evil God as a result."

"And guessing the time and place you travel to is not difficult either."

"You haven't been Demigod for long, so your Contribution Points ranking can't be too high."

"Of the 356 known Spirit Domain Era, there aren't many places where gods were made related to the Agricultural Official."

"The Evil God Faction will probably send many Demigod, or even gods, to infiltrate various places to see if they can catch you."

"The Cosmic Ark, being a well-known secret realm, is a key area for defense."

Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine; this possibility was indeed quite high.

"You are now using the alias Han Bing, and your identity is very well hidden. As long as you don't reveal your identity as Zhao Xing, it will be very difficult for them to find you and take action against you."

"For example, you absolutely cannot use that Straw Man Clone of yours."

The Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique was only used by Zhao Xing, Zuo Qiyu, and Liu Tianning in the Desolate Territory Era.

Zuo Qiyu is not Demigod, Liu Tianning has not qualified to become a god. The only one who can be used is Zhao Xing.

As long as this point is exposed, we can catch them red-handed.

The same principle applies to the treasures carried with them, such as the Yuan Ji Mountain and the Earth Treasury Divine Needle.

"Making money while keeping a low profile is really not easy. I don't know how Lao Qing became a Divine General." Zhao Xing sighed.

His situation was very similar to Qing Yuzi's. Qing Yuzi leaked the timing of the Evil God Faction's attack and gave a warning, but was hunted down by the Bookless City forces. He didn't even have a protector yet, but he actually rose from the Divine Soldier Level to the Divine General Level.

The Heavenly Mystery Chaos Level Reaches Peak.

Just then, a new piece of information appeared on Zhao Xing's Profound Spirit History Book Replica.

"The serendipitous event is about to end."

Upon seeing this message, Zhao Xing understood that the first Divine Mountain Geological Change was about to end.

Because the chaos in the heavens has reached its peak, its intensity will weaken next, and the Free God Biluo of the Mountain Patrol Divine Department will probably awaken soon.

"When the time comes and they check, they'll find that a lot of Earth God Crystal are missing. They'll definitely question us Mountain Envoys. This is a concrete manifestation of the karmic burden."

"We need to speed things up."

Zhao Xing informed the seven deputy envoys in front of him, as well as the eight deputy envoys in various parts of the Yas Sea Domain.

Chu Ji felt increasingly awe towards Zhao Xing, because Zhao Xing simply didn't possess such an early warning capability.

I thought the Divine Mountain Geological Change would continue for some time.

Lei Hong, Yue Zhen, Yi Kun, and others were several months behind Zhao Xing in confirming that the chaos in the heavenly secrets was decreasing.

He also felt a greater sense of fear towards Zhao Xing.

With their strength, high status, and ability to seize the initiative in opportune events, there is no doubt that they have no chance of winning against Zhao Xing.

Three years later, Zhao Xing was no longer active in the deep sea. He returned to the shallow sea and began visiting the caves of the other sixteen deputy envoys before finally returning to his own cave.

In the first Solar Year, 325, the event "Divine Mountain Geological Change" was triggered.

In early 337, the serendipitous event known as the "Divine Mountain Geological Change" came to an end.

"Be careful, I can't make a sound."

"The Mountain Patrol Divine Department, Free God Biluo awakened."

Bowei suddenly gave a warning, and then lost his voice.

At the same time, the spirit tablet within Liu Qingci's body and the Yin Zai Divine General also disappeared without a trace.

Although Free God Biluo is only at the Divine Soldier Level, his appearance is still considered a divine-level event, similar to the actions of protectors like Bowei and Yin Zai.

They all remained silent to avoid causing unnecessary trouble for the people they were protecting.

In early 337, the Mountain Patrol Divine Department, Free God Biluo Zizai, awoke and immediately appeared in the Yas Sea Domain to suppress the Divine Mountain Geological Change.

At this First Tier, neither the chief envoy nor the deputy envoy dared to continue stealing the Earth God Crystal.

The window of opportunity has closed.

Anyone who dares to continue stealing Earth God Crystal will increase the risk of exposure, and may die or be forced out of the Cosmic Ark incident.

337 years, end.

The first Divine Mountain Geological Change has ended.

Inside the Xu Mountain, Chu Ji's causal incarnation appeared before Xu Zhun.

"Are you saying you want to steal seventy percent of my Earth God Crystal?" Xu Zhun's face darkened. "Hmph, what nonsense are you spouting!"

"It's not about stealing, it's about handing it over to Venerable Han." Chu Ji cupped his hands in mid-air. "After handing it over, you will receive his protection. For the next opportunity, you won't need to hand over 70%, just 30% will suffice."

Xu Huai was so angry he laughed. Wasn't this blatant robbery?!

"I need his protection?! How ridiculous! Get out of my cave right now, or don't blame me for Guest Qi!"

Chu Ji calmly replied, "Please think carefully before you act. If you miss this opportunity, the price will be much higher later."

"Roll!"

Chu Ji glanced at Xu Huai with pity before disappearing into the cave.

Xu Zhun watched Chu Ji leave and slowly calmed down.

He frowned in thought, "I wonder what this Han Bing is all about, that he's able to subdue another being."

"This Chu Ji passed the True Spirit Tribulation sixteen times. Although he can't make it onto the Bai Zhuo Era Demigod Ranking, he's still considered a good fighter. Yet he's acting like a lackey."

Xu Zhun sensed that things weren't so simple, but it was impossible for him to hand over 70% of his gains without any explanation.

Because he has already paid the price, the Earth God Crystal he is handing over now are all clean goods that do not require any price to pay.

"Hmph, no matter where they come from, such an idea is simply a pipe dream."

Chu Ji returned to his cave dwelling. In the past month, he had visited all the Mountain Patrol Divine Department and all the descendant cave dwellings.

"Chu Ji, you're back. How did things go?" In the underwater cave, Zhao Xing, who was cultivating his second body, opened his eyes.

"Chu Ji is incompetent; not one of the sixteen arrivals agreed."

"There were a few people who, although they didn't agree, still gave me one or two Earth God Crystal, treating me like a beggar," Chu Ji said resentfully.

"Hahaha." Zhao Xing laughed loudly, "I'm sorry to have wronged you, Chu Ji."

He had never met any of the sixteen deputy envoys before, and it was impossible for them to just accept that he was suddenly being asked to pay protection money.

"Venerable Han, what should we do next?" Chu Ji asked.

"Wait, go again in six months," Zhao Xing said calmly.

"Yes."

After Chu Ji left the Crystal Palace.

Zhao Xing immediately closed his eyes and began to cast a spell.

One by one, Golden Cicada Dharma Form appeared behind them and then flew out.

Since Zhao Xing had just ordered Chu Ji to coerce the sixteen deputy envoys (descenders), there is now a causal connection.

Thus, the sixteen golden cicadas climbed along the Karma Thread and flew towards the sixteen deputy envoys.

Xianjianrong Palace, the cave dwelling of Venerable Cen Guang.

In the secret chamber, a pile of Earth God Crystal was placed in front of him, Venerable Cen Guang was performing a secret technique to resolve the burden of karma.

But suddenly there was a "buzzing" sound.

He felt as if he had been bitten by something, and a golden cicada had appeared in the secret room at some unknown time.

The karmic burden that had been so painstakingly resolved suddenly increased again, Karma Token to drop by 10 points.

"What?" Venerable Cen Guang exclaimed in surprise. "Who is attacking me?"

With a series of hissing sounds, Venerable Qin Guang immediately retaliated, and the golden cicada was quickly killed. He wanted to pursue and retaliate, but when he looked along the Karma Thread, he saw a gigantic golden cicada!

The behemoth was spitting out Karma Thread, seemingly waiting for his arrival.

"Hiss"

Venerable Cen Guang saw the figure below the Golden Cicada and couldn't help but gasp. He immediately and decisively withdrew his attack.

"It's Han Bing!"

Venerable Cen Guang felt a lingering fear. "He was actually that strong, and he could even interfere with my process of resolving karmic burdens?"

He recalled that a man named Chu Ji had come to persuade Han Bing before, and his face darkened.

"What should I do? If I don't pay, will I never be able to resolve the karmic burden? How will I trigger any serendipitous events?"

Meanwhile, in the other caves, roars also erupted.

"Han Bing, don't push your luck!"

"The path to enlightenment is open to all; will you choose to be my enemy?"

"I am willing to hand over fifty cubic meters of Earth God Crystal. Venerable Han Bing, would you be so kind as to grant me this?"

Inside Zhao Xing's cave, the Golden Cicada True Form disappeared and was reborn time and time again.

According to the Mysterious Spirit History, his luck stat is still as high as fifty.

Because the Golden Cicada True Form Second Body, it was originally a divine-level auxiliary secret technique given to him by Bowei.

It can even eliminate the aftereffects of cultivating the Nine Marsh God, and of course, it can also eliminate the karmic burden.

Bowei casually mentioned other knowledge as well.

The Golden Cicada True Form Second Body were obtained by Zhao Xing in exchange for a promise.

It is conceivable that this secret technique was also a very precious thing for the scholar -Divine General Bowei.

"Bang bang bang bang bang bang~"

After the first month, Zhao Xing launched a disruptive attack on the sixteen deputy envoys.

Three of the deputy envoys, worn down by Zhao Xing's demands, readily agreed to his request and signed an unequal contract.

The following month, four more deputy envoys decided to give up resistance and pay protection money.

After the third month, the five deputy envoys decided to pay the protection fee.

But four people still held out until the sixth month without giving up.

This included Xu Huai, because all four of them possessed treasures or secret techniques that enabled them to withstand Zhao Xing's interference.

Six months later, Zhao Xing's Golden Cicada stopped attacking because a surge of divine power entered his residence.

"All mountain messengers, come quickly!"

In the Yas Sea Domain, on Bi Luo Mountain, a tall and majestic golden figure summoned all the mountain messengers of the Mountain Patrol Divine Department.

Upon hearing the order, all the deputy envoys had no choice but to rush to Bi Luo Mountain.

Xu Huai sat in the flying boat, a deep sorrow etched between his brows.

The event, which lasted for twelve years, yielded considerable results for Xu Huai. Currently, the value on his Karma Token is -45.

Logically, this should still be a safe value, and no Great Misfortune should occur.

He can then gradually resolve the issue, causing the value to return to zero completely, or even rise to a positive number, in preparation for the next opportune event.

However, this is under ideal conditions.

Six months after returning to his cave, the value of the Xu Zhun not only failed to return to positive, but instead reached negative 48, an increase of three points!

If it exceeds -60, he will trigger a god-level negative event!

If this issue cannot be resolved quickly, let alone seeking opportunities, even survival will be a problem.

"Damn Han Bing, she's gone too far!" Xu Huai slammed the token in his hand.

"If it weren't for him, I would have corrected the numbers long ago in the past six months. This is simply ruthless!"

"Now that Free God Biluo has summoned me, it's probably to settle accounts. If I don't explain things properly, it could trigger a god-level negative event or a chance event. Of course, there are also negative events. It's not that Xu Zhun is afraid of Free God Biluo."

Bi Luo is just a mid-stage Divine Soldier Free God. If it really comes down to a fight, Xu Zhun is even confident that he can kill Bi Luo!

But what if he is killed? His karmic burden will soar to over 100, which will trigger the appearance of General Yue Nan.

Unless he doesn't want to stay here anymore, doing this is just courting death.

Having immense fighting prowess but being unable to solve the problem Xu Huai feeling extremely frustrated.

He hadn't made enough money yet, and leaving after only one lucky break was a huge loss.

But he was unwilling to bow down to Han Bing. The Tian Shi Sect's Si Nong was always ambitious, and Xu Zhun, a man of exceptional talent, was even more so.

He was Demigod who had been on the Bai Zhuo Era Genius Ranking. Although he quickly fell off the list, Xu Zhun's Dao Heart would never allow him to easily submit to someone of the same level.

"Venerable Han Bing!" Xu Zhun contacted Zhao Xing through the Karma Thread they had previously established. "Do you dare to fight me fair and square? If you win, I'll give you not just 70% of my winnings, but all of mine."

"If you lose, get out of my way!"

On the other side of the flying boat, Zhao Xing heard Xu Huai's roar and couldn't help but smile.

"The orthodox Tian Shi faction's Minister of Agriculture is so arrogant. They would rather lose 100% in battle than submit and offer up 70% of the Earth God Crystals."

Of course, Old Master Zhao would not agree to Xu Huai's request.

"Xu Huai, my rules are my rules."

"If you want to challenge me, I can add a clause to the contract to give you a chance to challenge me afterward."

"But this time, you have to get the seven out of the deal first."

"Otherwise, you can expect to trigger negative events!"

Having said that, Zhao Xing ignored Xu Huai's roar.

In 338 AD, at the Bi Luo Mountain.

In the Yas Sea Domain, the Mountain Patrol Divine Department, along with thirty-five deputy envoys and one chief envoy, were all in place.

This group includes Zhao Xing and consists of thirty-two arrivals, only four of whom are key figures in the event.

"Greetings, Divine Lord Biluo."

Everyone bowed their heads in respect.

Just then, a strange change occurred: a mirror appeared on Bi Luo Mountain, its divine light shining brightly upon everyone.

All those who descended upon it were surprised to find that their negative karma value had increased by 10 points!

"Karma Mirror?"

Zhao Xing felt a chill run down his spine. His chances had also decreased by 10 points, but it was still a positive 30.

He just hadn't expected this to happen.

However, after being photographed like this, the Free God Biluo on the mountaintop suddenly locked his gaze on a white-haired, green-eyed man among the Mountain Patrol Envoy.

"You dare to embezzle divine crystals? Die!"

A powerful, overwhelming divine force coalesced into a massive mountain, which crashed down with a deafening roar.

Before the mountain descended, the wind arrived.

Zhao Xing felt that he and everyone else were being repelled by this wind.

However, the white-haired, green-eyed Venerable Yin Xue was at the very center of the suppression.

The space had been cut open, and the white-haired, green-eyed man could not absorb any spiritual energy, nor could he draw upon any power of heaven and earth.

Heaven and earth are both against him!

Venerable Yin Xue has triggered a god-level negative event!

Everything happened too fast. Yin Xue didn't have time to think about anything else. He could only immediately ask the protectors outside to use the Life Line Karma Thread to pull him out of the Cosmic Ark.

"Han Bing!!"

Before leaving, Venerable Yin Xue roared in Zhao Xing's direction.

His physical body then exploded, scattering a large amount of divine crystals, while only his true spirit was guided away.

After the earth-shattering event ended, Yin Xue had six months to reduce the causal burden.

However, it was precisely because of Han Bing's existence that he made no progress in the past six months, and his negative causal value reached 51 points!

In addition, after being exposed to the Karma Mirror, his level immediately exceeded sixty.

Yin Xue's shout seemed to give hope to the three remaining Xu Zhun: Xu Zhun, Peng Tian, Xuan Zhuang.

They all hoped that Zhao Xing would be affected by this, so that they wouldn't have to suffer from this guy's oppression.

Yin Xue's actions did indeed affect Zhao Xing, causing his causality value to drop by three points.

At the same time, the gaze of the Free God Biluo, also turned towards them.

Before Free God Biluo could speak, Zhao Xing admitted his mistake. "Your Majesty, Yin Xue stole the Earth God Crystal. I failed in my duty to investigate."

However, at that moment, someone immediately stood up to Zhao Xing and spoke up for him.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, before the earth-shattering event occurred, Special Envoy Han noticed the unusual activity of the underwater mountain peaks and summoned all the deputy envoys to discuss countermeasures."

"However, only six deputy envoys came; the rest did not obey the summons."

"I can testify."

"My subordinates also testify."

The four deputy envoys for the incident were the first to step forward.

Closely following behind were the arrivals.

Chu Ji was still the first to charge forward. He knelt down next to Zhao Xing and said respectfully, "Your Majesty, after the earthquake, the chief envoy found me and Deputy Envoy Lei Hong immediately to jointly suppress the anomalies in the underwater mountains and deal with the disaster of the earthquake."

Lei Hong immediately stepped forward. "Afterwards, my subordinates and the chief envoy worked together to carry out the rescue. In the end, a total of fifteen deputy envoys worked with the chief envoy, supervising each other."

"Your Majesty, I can bear witness."

"Your Majesty, I can bear witness."

Xu Zhun was dumbfounded.

How come all these people are in cahoots with Han Bing?

Did he foresee this all along?

Zhao Xing stood quietly in place, maintaining his bowed posture.

What does it mean to have great Confucian scholars debating the classics for me?

After this evidence, he discovered that the three points he had lost had been recovered, and in fact, had increased by five points.

Liu Qingci, standing to the side, couldn't help but sigh, "When the Demigod below collude, even gods can be deceived."

Xu Zhun originally did not intend to step forward, but since he and Venerable Zhuo Hua had both participated in the crisis management meeting convened by Zhao Xing beforehand, they had no choice but to stand up now.

"This Han Bing has a wealth of experience participating in historical event secret realms."

"He has allied with so many deputy envoys; if he were to implicate others now, it would be very difficult for anyone to clear his name."

Of course it can't be cleared up, because it was never innocent in the first place!

The invaders are all here to steal the Earth God Crystal; it's just a matter of whose Karma Thread are better hidden.

Free God Biluo continued to ask, "Han Bing, did you discover anything else during this process?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty," Zhao Xing replied, "I have been unable to contact the three deputy envoys Ni Feng, Yu Chen, and Yin Xue, from beginning to end."

Ni Feng, Yu Chen, and Yin Xue—these are the three Arrivals who stubbornly refused to yield.

Originally, Xu Huai was one of them, but before coming, Xu Zhun finally signed a contract with Zhao Xing because he wanted to turn the tide through the final battle.

Therefore, it wouldn't matter if the Earth God Crystal was kept with Zhao Xing for the time being, as Xu Zhun had absolute confidence in his own strength.

Therefore, Zhao Xing only targeted the three people who refused to pay protection money.

Yin Xue had just been defeated, and the remaining two Venerables, Ni Feng and Yu Chen, immediately changed their expressions.

"Ridiculous, Han Bing, you're the biggest scourge!"

"Your Majesty, don't listen to his side of the story. Han Bing stole the most Earth God Crystal!"

Venerable Ni Feng attempted to argue his point.

However, Venerable Yu Chen immediately activated the Protector's ability to pull people in while Zhao Xing was speaking.

"Whoosh!"

A red line suddenly appeared from the void, enveloping Yu Chen, and disappeared a moment before Free God Biluo made his move.

"As expected, he's a spy!" Free God Biluo, his large hand as big as a mountain, pressed down suddenly.

"Boom!"

The sea surface was crushed, creating a terrifying whirlpool, and Venerable Ni Feng disappeared without a trace.

"It was fished out."

Zhao Xing watched from a distance. Just now, the protector behind Venerable Ni Feng also took him away.

Both of them kept the Earth God Crystal they were carrying and left the Cosmic Ark.

Their outcome was slightly better than that of Venerable Yin Xue; at least they took the fruits of this opportunity with them.

Venerable Yin Xue gained nothing; his physical body was destroyed, and only his remnant spirit escaped.

"All Mountain Patrol Envoy return to their caves; without Divine Edict, they shall not leave!"

This unexpected turn of events led the Free God Biluo, to issue a decree.

Yes.

Zhao Xing glanced at the History Book Rubbing and found that the burden of cause and effect had not increased, so he breathed a sigh of relief.

Only after safely returning to their caves did this Divine Mountain Geological Change truly come to an end.

"Now that I have the treasure in my hands, it truly belongs to me, and I can keep it." Zhao Xing began to take stock of his spoils.
