Identity Change, Mount Penglai Guardian

Before the first fortuitous event, Zhao Xing had explored the situation of various departments and tribes. At that time, he learned that the Martial God Division in the Yas Sea Domain had about thirty-six Demigod who had descended, one of whom, named "Su Long," caught his attention.

Each department and tribe was responsible for different depths and locations in the sea.

The Mountain Patrol Divine Department are responsible for the three-level seamounts and trenches. Most of these areas are underwater planting bases. For example, the Qi Palace Peak area, which Liu Qingci was previously in charge of, is a planting site for "Yuan Sea Bamboo".

The Martial God Division is responsible for maintaining the underwater cities in the middle layer of the ocean, which belongs to the second-level sea area. The artifact that Zhao Xing found in the legacy of the Beast God Ti Bu is a relic created after the underwater city fell.

"Brother Han, I have a few questions," Liu Qingci asked.

"Please speak," Zhao Xing nodded.

"Even if you can determine which of the Martial God Division are among the descendants."

"However, for the arrivals, each identity brings its own opportunities, which are manifested in the events they encounter after acquiring that identity."

Liu Qingci drew a layered map of the sea area.

"The area under the jurisdiction of the Agricultural Official borders the area under the jurisdiction of the martial artists."

"However, there are ocean currents separating the lower-level marine mountains from the Middle Sea City, so the Divine Mountain Geological Change will not have a significant impact on the middle-level sea city area."

"Therefore, the envoys of the Martial God Division will almost never participate in the opportunities presented by the 'Divine Mountain Geological Change'."

"Just like we won't get involved in other serendipitous events."

"If you're going to frame them, at least give them a chance to step down."

"How can this be done?"

The question raised by Liu Qingci was also the same question that most of the deputy envoys were concerned about.

Different departments have different responsibilities, and the opportunities and events triggered by the arrivals are different, and they also occur in different locations.

Therefore, during the first two Divine Mountain Geological Change, the Mountain Patrol Envoy did not see any other professions appear, nor were any other departments involved.

"A very good question." Zhao Xing nodded. "Whether it's a geological upheaval or a leak, it should be a matter for the Agricultural Official to handle. The people from the Martial God Division coming down to the bottom sea area are just meddling in other people's business."

"The Descendants will not randomly seek opportunities that do not belong to them, lest they add to their karma and expose their identities."

"The encounters of the Martial God Division and the Mountain Patrol Department are like two parallel lines, which under normal circumstances have no possibility of intersecting."

"But what if the Divine Mountain Geological Change affect the sea city in the middle layer of the ocean?"

Zhao Xing pointed and tapped several times on Liu Qingci's water map.

Red dots appeared in the underground sea, shimmering with a faint light.

Liu Qingci somewhat taken aback: "You mean—"

"That's right, let's assume that in the next Divine Mountain Geological Change, the underground volcano erupts."

"And the sea cities in the middle layer of the ocean are just above the submarine volcanic eruption, carried by the ocean currents."

"And then, bang!"

A beam of red light erupted from the water map, causing the floating sea city in the middle layer of the ocean to fall into the Deep Sea Region and disappear into the darkness.

After reading it, Liu Qingci fell silent, silently calculating in his mind, and then nodded. "I have no objection."

"Wait a minute, how could the eruption have hit Haicheng right at the same time?" Venerable Tao You asked.

"Whether you are the Agricultural Official or not, do you still need to ask Venerable Han?" Chu Ji laughed. "Is it so difficult for the Earthly Advantage Faction Shennong to make a volcano erupt? You actually need to ask why?"

"The Divine Mountain Geological Change is a disaster in itself. We could have stayed far away from the volcano, or simply suppressed the timing of its eruption, or found those four deputy envoys who weren't the arrival of the gods to be scapegoats. That would have achieved our goal and completely absolved us of any responsibility."

"Venerable Han, this plan is truly brilliant! Chu Ji is impressed!" Chu Ji ended his speech with a compliment.

"Chu Ji, what are you showing off for, you country bumpkin?" Venerable Hanyou was speechless with anger after being bombarded with Chu Ji's Han You.

His roots are in the True Self Faction, but he has also learned a lot from the Earthly Advantage Faction.

He was just a little slow to react to the issue of underwater volcanoes in the Primordial Sea.

But Chu Ji's sharp retort made him seem very ignorant.

"This country bumpkin runs to Han Bing's cave every day, and he's getting more and more arrogant." Venerable Tao You was so angry that his teeth itched.

"You dare call me a country bumpkin?" Chu Ji was also a little angry.

The era in which Chu Ji lived was a time of war and chaos, with weak spiritual energy, constant natural disasters, and a decline in the flourishing of cultural heritage.

Chu Ji has no powerful master or lineage. In the eyes of a disciple of God like Venerable Tao You, wouldn't he just be a complete country bumpkin?

The two immediately started arguing.

"Chu Ji has grown a lot." Lei Hong watched the two arguing with a cold eye. "For the past few hundred years, he has been going to Han Bing's cave every day. It seems that he has learned a lot."

Zhao Xing certainly taught Chu Ji some things, but what kind of leader would personally step in to defend himself? At many meetings, it was Chu Ji who was always the vanguard, charging forward.

Zhao Xing was also very satisfied with Chu Ji's performance.

However, it cannot be shown on the surface.

"Enough! What's all the noise about?"

Zhao Xing shouted, and the argument between the two immediately stopped.

"Chu Ji, do Venerable Tao You doesn't understand these principles? You are being rude!"

Chu Ji immediately apologized to Venerable Tao You: "Venerable Tao You, I was rude just now, please forgive my impulsiveness."

Venerable Tao You's attitude remained firm, but he took this opportunity to back down, bowing to Zhao Xing and saying, "Venerable Han, I also have my faults."

The dispute was quickly quelled, and Zhao Xing continued explaining the plan.

As Liu Qingci watched Zhao Xing's plan progress, he couldn't help but nod in approval.

Geniuses are often rebellious, let alone a group of geniuses together.

It's quite remarkable that Zhao Xing could keep these people under his control.

In terms of combat strength, he may not be stronger than the whole group, but if he is just a little bit stronger, and with some additional methods, he can make this small group effective.

"When the Free God teaches his disciples, he often teaches them how to protect themselves and avoid getting involved in karma. But the True God does the opposite; he uses karma to his advantage."

"If I were in charge of these people, they would never even think about targeting the Martial God Division. They truly deserve to be disciples of the Immeasurable True God."

Over hundreds of years of interaction, Liu Qingci felt that Zhao Xing's style of doing things was not old-fashioned, but she never imagined that Zhao Xing was a person from the Desolate Territory Era.

I just felt that the slight differences were caused by the different masters.

"The opportune moment is still three years away, but we need to start taking action now."

"Lei Hong, Quan De, Yi Kun, you guys take care of the volcano."

"We don't need many; just select ten or eight from the Cangdai Volcanic Group."

"Yue Zhen, Gao Shan, Yang He, Xu Huai, Wei Hua, you are responsible for external supervision and eliminating uncertainties."

"Chu Ji, Huang Liang, you two go and make contact with the four deputy envoys of the Mountain Patrol Department and keep an eye on them."

"Venerable Jade Flute, I entrust the task of eavesdropping and concealing heavenly secrets to you."

"Yes!"

Everyone began to act according to the plan. Those who could enter the secret realm were all experts among experts, and their ability to do things was beyond doubt.

Zhao Xing wasn't idle either; he started pestering Bowei to evaluate his plan.

"Evaluation? You want me to point out any shortcomings for you, right?" Bowei's voice drifted out from within the Realm Transmission.

"Elder, you are truly remarkable, with discerning eyes," Zhao Xing complimented from outside the courtyard gate.

"Heroes create the times, and the times create heroes." Bowei said slowly. Today he was dressed as Fate Master, and with the Great Dao Golden Circlet, he looked a bit like a charlatan.

"You want to use the people from the Martial God Division as scapegoats, which means you're controlling the course of this event. There's nothing wrong with the plan itself."

It all depends on how well it's executed. If you execute it well, you can profit; if you execute it poorly, you're essentially altering a part of the Cosmic Ark's history, and the consequences will be severe.

Bowei said calmly, "It's best to have a scapegoat on both sides. I think Liu Qingci is quite good."

Zhao Xing was speechless. Was Bowei teaching him to sell out his teammates?

Bowei: "Liu Qingci was only forced to sign a karmic contract with you. She is Demigod in the Evil God Faction, a disciple of a Divine General's Priest. You don't consider this betrayal, do you?"

"The Divine Objects Division is using the Descendant A Su Long as a scapegoat, while the Mountain Patrol Divine Department is using Liu Qingci as a scapegoat. Your plan can be considered safe."

"Elder, is there any other way?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Since you don't intend to agree to this method," Bowei tossed a Dao Book over, "Then you'll have to put in the effort yourself. This is a method of forcefully driving away cause and effect, called 'Dry Thread Fruit'."

"If you can master it within three years, you can use Karma Thread to interfere with your enemies."

"Other beings, even with divine protection, cannot immediately pull people away through the Karma Thread."

"However, the price is that you will be hated by many gods."

"Why would I be afraid of this?" Zhao Xing smiled and immediately took the Dao Book.

Three years later, in 573, on the eve of the Divine Mountain Geological Change.

A Su Long has been feeling quite agitated lately, with a feeling that something big is about to happen.

However, judging from the Karma Token, my chance value fluctuates between 40 and 50, showing no signs of decreasing.

So where does this feeling come from?

"I've obtained the identity of the Director of the Martial God Division Bureau here, and I've already experienced one fortuitous event. The next fortuitous event will occur in the second Solar Year."

"It's only the first Solar Year, 573. Logically, we shouldn't have this feeling. Could it be that some additional event is about to be triggered?"

Is it good or bad?

A Su Long entered the scene 200 years ago, between the first and second Divine Mountain Geological Change.

However, martial artists have their own opportunities and events, A Su Long was involved in the [Solar-Lunar Eclipse] event.

The Solar-Lunar Eclipse refer to the unusual phenomena that occurred on a super Sun Star and a Yin Star hidden on the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ark.

During this abnormal Heavenly Timing cycle, there will be opportunities to secretly collect the [Solar Divine Essence] and [Lunar Yin Divine Essence] for body refinement.

During the previous solar eclipse, A Su Long collected over three hundred drops of the Solar Divine Essence, which has now transformed into a divine bone.

The next one will be Lunar Eclipse. Logically, he should have to wait more than a thousand years for it to happen, but now he has an instinctive premonition.

I had a vague feeling that something big was about to happen.

"Could it be my imagination?"

Unable to sleep, A Su Long left his courtyard and went to the top of Bifang City.

Bifang City is the largest city in the middle layer of the sea.

This place is inhabited by some underwater races, as well as a small number of Human Race.

Bifang City drifts with the ocean currents; only at this depth is it suitable for the underwater races to survive.

Their unique life structure means that these marine creatures are prone to dying once they float to the surface, and if they go any deeper, they are also easily crushed by the terrifying water pressure.

Of course, A Su Long doesn't need to worry about the operation of Bifang City; that's the job of the array masters. He only needs to maintain order among the various races.

The Cosmic Ark could be described as crowded. Even though it was large enough, there was too much life, so much so that people even lived in the ocean.

As soon as A Su Long flew onto the city wall, he saw two sea beasts of the same kind but different species fighting outside the city.

"It's those two little devils from the Yuan Snake Clan, fighting again." A Su Long glanced at them coldly. "A beast is a beast. Even though they've reached the Reincarnation Realm, comparable to humans, they still can't suppress their nature."

A Su Long was about to reprimand them when he noticed that the two Yuan snakes seemed to have been frightened and suddenly swam away.

A Su Long's heart suddenly began to pound violently.

He suddenly looked down at the seabed and saw that the ocean currents separating the deep sea from the middle layer of the ocean had disappeared.

The once clear seawater began to ripple densely, creating countless horizontal waves, and a wisp of fire emerged from the dark seabed.

"What?! This is—"

A Su Long's body suddenly sank.

The entire Bifang City began to shake.

[In the first Solar Year, 574, the serendipitous event of the Divine Mountain Geological Change was triggered, and the divine essence transformed into the Earth God Crystal, breaking through the mountain barrier.]

Your luck stat in this event has increased to 82 points.

"The third Divine Mountain Geological Change has begun."

In a cave Gao Shan in the sea, Zhao Xing looked out at the dark sea, where chaotic, turbid air surged.

"This time it lasted shorter, but it came on more violently."

Insect brush brush~

Zhao Xing used the Four Pillars Profound Gate to continuously shift positions.

They quickly found a relatively high vantage point, looking out at a group of underwater volcanoes, and then looked up at the sky above.

"The rising turbid air first broke through the ocean current layer, causing changes in the seabed veins."

"But at this point it still won't affect the mid-level sea area, we still need to put in more effort."

Zhao Xing silently calculated the cycle.

In April of 574, Zhao Xing Telepathic Transmission with the descending Mountain Patrol Divine Department.

"Let's do it!"

In early April, there was a loud bang.

The Cangdai Volcanic Group erupted completely, with the eight largest active volcanoes being the most ferocious.

Eight red beams of light surged up from the seabed, piercing through multiple water vein buffer zones along their way.

Three of these volcanoes ejected large amounts of material into the middle layers of the ocean.

At this time, Bifang City was already situated on the last major sea vein. If the Divine Mountain Geological Change broke through this barrier, the entire Bifang City would fall into the deep sea.

However, Zhao Xing only listened to half of Bowei's advice. He didn't direct all eight active volcanoes towards Bifang City, so Bifang City wasn't in danger of collapsing. Instead, a bunch of Earth God Crystal were scattered into the middle sea area along with the impact of the three volcanoes.

In the outer sea area of Bifang City, A Su Long, who was leading a patrol, was maintaining order.

Suddenly, his vision was drawn to a bright light.

"What is that?"

A Su Long looked in that direction and saw a faint orange glow in the seawater.

They dotted the dark sea like stars.

He immediately recognized it as a precious divine object!

"My God! It's Earth God Crystal?"

"Whoosh!" A Su Long instantly teleported over. "It really is Earth God Crystal!"

"Drink!" A Su Long shouted, shattering the mud, sand, and rocks in the sea and creating a vacuum zone.

As a result, more Earth God Crystal were exposed.

"Wow, so many Earth God Crystal!" A Su Long's eyes lit up immediately.

He continued downhill and soon arrived at the boundary between the middle and Deep Sea Region.

"If so much has been found up there, wouldn't there be even more down there? However, my karmic burden is also increasing, and getting involved in other events might be dangerous—"

However, A Su Long only hesitated for a moment before being drawn to even more divine light from the seabed.

"Wouldn't it be a waste not to take it now? The Earth God Crystal is a treasure! What's the difference between seizing any opportunity?"

In that instant, many philosophical truths flashed through A Su Long's mind, such as fortune favors the bold and that refusing a gift from heaven would only bring misfortune.

A Su Long gritted his teeth and, taking advantage of the chaos in the heavens, immediately rushed down.

In another direction, the descendant "Wu Zhen" also encountered many Earth God Crystal.

"The fact that so many Earth God Crystal were thrown up must be due to a Divine Mountain Geological Change."

"Could being in the Martial God Division also trigger this fortuitous event?"

Although Wu Zhen had doubts, triggering additional fortuitous events was always a possibility.

I never imagined there would be another Descendant's conspiracy involved.

"There are too many people around Bifang City, so if we're going to try to fish, we should go down there."

"At this moment, Bifang City is shaken. I will take this opportunity to go down into the Deep Sea Region. As long as I come back up early, there should be no problem."

"Holy crap, so many Earth God Crystal! Did this trigger an additional divine-level opportunity event?"

"We're rich! We're rich! This is a golden opportunity bestowed upon us by the earth!"

A bald, burly man carrying a large knife immediately jumped into the Deep Sea Region.

"I actually triggered an extra lucky event just by coming here? Hahaha, my teacher said I have great luck, and it's true."

Venerable Sword Tomb laughed heartily, swallowed the Earth God Crystal in one gulp, and rushed down below.

"Hmm, there might be some descendants among the Mountain Patrol Divine Department, but that's fine too, I can frame them."

All those who descended from the Martial God Division triggered this extra opportunity event.

Of the thirty-six arrivals, half succumbed to temptation and went straight into the sea.

A small number of people, such as Venerable Sword Tomb, A Su Long, Wu Zhen, also went down, but they didn't act recklessly. They all planned to find other descendants and make them take the blame.

Reduce the burden on your true spirit.

As for how to identify the Descendants?

You can find out by secretly following someone and seeing if they will try to take the Earth God Crystal for themselves.

It's not easy to tell under normal circumstances, but it becomes apparent in certain situations.

"Including the chief and deputy Mountain Patrol Divine Department officers in total. Hopefully, we can find the descendant among them," A Su Long thought to himself.

The deep sea, the Mountain Patrol Divine Department.

Zhao Xing was observing the situation when he noticed a caterpillar scurrying over and jumping into his palm. "Venerable Han, it's taken the bait!"

The fish has taken the bait.

"How many people were found?"

"I found six, and after Xu Huai transformed, he sensed thirteen more. These martial artists all came down stealthily."

"Hehe, I didn't expect so many visitors. Venerable Han is indeed a prophet!"

Under normal circumstances, the people of the Martial God Division are not allowed to come down. Without a transfer order or clear official document, they should not come to the deep sea area or get close to the Sacred Mountain.

Even if it's an emergency and one has to act expediently, one should at least send an official document beforehand to the Mountain Patrol Divine Department, and come down under the guise of helping.

But the fact that these people chose to sneak down almost certainly means they are the Descendants.

Zhao Xing had previously told Xu Huai and Chu Ji that the Martial God Division had sent beings to descend, but many people did not believe it.

Zhao Xing is not a god, so how could he know other people's identities?

But now that I see it, I believe it all.

Zhao Xing wasn't smug. "There are quite a few people coming down, so we still need to be careful and not let anything go wrong."

"Chu Ji, keep an eye on them."

"Venerable Jade Flute, tell all the descendants to change their group size from three to five."

"We must ensure that we have an absolute crushing advantage when facing these sneaky guys."

"Knew."

On the side of the Mountain Patrol Divine Department, including Zhao Xing, there were exactly thirty visitors.

Because there were too many scapegoats, the last window of opportunity for the Divine Mountain Geological Change was only three years.

So, after 574 years, Zhao Xing decisively abandoned the solo search and divided the team into six groups of five to round up the martial artists.

March, 575.

The Venerable Sword Tomb, his body shimmering with Golden Light, formed a sword barrier on the seabed and appeared on a mountain peak.

He had just split open a mountain peak and obtained a batch of Earth God Crystal.

"In the past year, I have acquired nearly 3,000 cubic meters of Earth God Crystal."

"My karmic burden has also increased considerably, and it's almost time for me to leave."

"It's a pity I didn't encounter any other visitors, otherwise I could have forced them to help me share the burden, hmm?"

Venerable Sword Tomb really does have his Wish Fulfillment. As soon as he thought that, he immediately saw five figures descending from the sky.

Zhao Xing, Yue Zhen, Lei Hong, Quan De, and Tao You have already surrounded Venerable Sword Tomb.

"You audacious scoundrel! How dare you steal a divine artifact! Surrender at once!"

Venerable Sword Tomb frowned, because he sensed that these five people were not simple.

Venerable Sword Tomb wanted to find a scapegoat for the Descendants, but he never expected that he himself would become the scapegoat in the eyes of others.

As soon as Zhao Xing and his group of five began to make their move, Venerable Sword Tomb's expression immediately changed.

Meanwhile, Venerable Wu Zhen was tracking something in the trench.

"Strange, I clearly saw someone absorbing the Earth God Crystal just now. This person is definitely a Descendant, and I followed him here, but why did he disappear all of a sudden?"

Just as Wu Zhen was still wondering, a Three-Eyed Thunder Lion suddenly emerged from the cave.

"Were you looking for me?"

"Hou Bian Method?" Wu Zhen sneered. "You really are a Descendant!"

"You mere Minister of Agriculture of the Heavenly Timing Sect, how dare you turn the tables on me? I'll give you a way out now: immediately hand over the cleansed Earth God Crystal, or else..."

However, before he could finish speaking, a hoof suddenly broke through the hillside where Wu Zhen was standing.

"Boom!"

The waves rolled, and a shrunken Di Cang, suppressing its divine power, appeared on the rocky hillside.

"You look down on the Tian Shi Sect's Minister of Agriculture?" Di Cang stared coldly at Wu Zhen.

"Swish, swish~"

Three more transformed Agricultural Official and five strange demonic beasts appeared around Wu Zhen, surrounding him completely.

"Oh no! There are too many!"

Wu Zhen was startled.

Zhao Xing led the Mountain Patrol Divine Department to act as spies, no longer personally taking the Earth God Crystal, but simply following behind the martial artists and ambushing them.

By 576, the final year of the Divine Mountain Geological Change.

Liu Qingci reported a problem:

"Brother Han, there are still seven people with negative karma, including myself, who cannot be corrected. What do you plan to do?"

"I understand," Zhao Xing replied. "Those who haven't returned to the right path should come to me immediately."

Liu Qingci then asked her teacher, "Teacher, do you think Han Bing might take this opportunity to make us scapegoats?"

"If the Mountain Patrol Divine Department also has a scapegoat, he will be even safer."

"It's hard to say," Yin Zai Divine General replied. "Anything is possible when there's profit to be made. You've gained too much this time. If Han Bing wants to trick you, he has the upper hand. Be careful."

Liu Qingci seven companions arrived at Zhao Xing's side, but the expected battle did not occur.

Zhao Xing did not choose to betray his teammates, even if they were a hastily assembled group.

He looked at the seven people, including Liu Qingci, and simply said, "Come with me."

Swish~

The seven people followed with some skepticism.

At this moment, eight vortex channels appeared in the sky above Qi Palace Peak.

Zhao Xing and Liu Qingci, along with seven others, were waiting there.

The tail of the vortex leads to the Middle Sea City, with Earth God Crystal strung together like beads in the vortex passage.

"This is a cleansed Earth God Crystal, leading to Sea City. Someone will be coming down soon; you know what to do, right?"

Liu Qingci somewhat surprised. Zhao Xing was actually willing to use the Earth God Crystal that he had cleansed up as bait? These things might not be able to be retrieved!

"They're here!"

Zhao Xing stared upwards.

Among the eight passages, the first figure appeared: a green-haired martial artist surrounded by six daggers emerged stealthily.

"Drink!"

As soon as he appeared, he was immediately suppressed by Zhao Xing and others.

"You... you all..." The green-haired warrior suddenly realized something.

"Make your move," Zhao Xing ordered in a low voice.

Immediately, an unclaimed ring was forcibly shoved into the martial artist's hand.

Blood dripped from the martial artist's chest, and the unclaimed ring was forcibly claimed as its owner.

"Holy crap! What are you doing?!" The martial artist was terrified after he recognized the ring as his master.

Because there are actually 10,000 cubic Earth God Crystal inside!

I'm just here to snag a bargain!

Why are you doing this to me?

Ten thousand cubic meters of Earth God Crystal —how much karmic burden would that require?

"L~"

The Karma Thread generated on the ring began to Entanglement the green-haired warrior.

The heavy burden caused him to begin to feel rejected by this world. His cultivation technique became unstable, and his blood and qi attacked his heart. He immediately fell to the brink of Going Berserk.

He tried desperately to resolve the situation, but the burden of so many causes and effects was still too heavy for him.

The other party was on the verge of collapse.

"Pfft meow~"

Zhao Xing cut off his arm.

"Go!" Then, with lightning speed, he carried the other party back to the Upper Sea Region.

Zhao Xing looked at Liu Qingci, who nodded. "It's working. My causal value has returned to positive by five points."

"Next!"

The warriors of Haicheng descended like rain. Tempted by the Earth God Crystal, of the thirty-six warriors of the Martial God Division, only five of the descendants did not come down.

It wasn't that they resisted the temptation, but rather that they already had a lot of karmic burdens that hadn't been resolved, Karma Thread were entangled, making them afraid to engage with any additional opportunities or events.

Those who came down were all quite skilled, at least in resolving karmic issues.

However, these martial arts geniuses had a terrible year.

In early 577, the Divine Mountain Geological Change ended, and this time, the Free God Biluo and the Bifang Free God of the Martial God Division, Bi Fang, appeared even faster.

Almost immediately after it ended, they appeared before the invaders.

When Venerable Sword Tomb awoke, he found himself back in Bifang City, having been transported back by a flying boat.

Standing before him was a deity, none other than Bifang, the Free God of the Martial God Division.

"Greetings, Divine Lord!" Venerable Sword Tomb hurriedly stood up.

"Tell me, what's inside this?" Bifang said solemnly, holding a ring in his hand.

When Venerable Sword Tomb took the ring, he discovered that it contained a pile of Earth God Crystal.

"Your Majesty, I... I'm innocent!"

"Who put the Earth God Crystal in my storage ring?!"

"Still trying to argue? You're asking for it!"

Bifang opened its mouth wide and immediately swallowed Venerable Sword Tomb.

The "Thread Fruit" entangles the body, causing chaos in the Karma Thread, which in turn prevents many of the protectors of the Descendants from pulling their protectors out of the Cosmic Ark incident through the Karma Thread.

However, it doesn't work as well for everyone.

Take, for example, a formidable opponent like A Su Long.

"Han Bing, you're the one who orchestrated this! You deserve to die!"

"But you won't have it easy either!"

After meeting Bifang and Free God Biluo, A Su Long knew that his adventure was over.

His causal value has risen so high that it can't be suppressed no matter what, and no matter how you explain it, Bifang won't listen.

"Big big!"

A Su Long roared, and his body was suddenly covered with a layer of snowflake-like ice crystals.

"You're courting death!" When Bifang and Free God Biluo arrived, they found that A Su Long dared to resist, so they immediately attacked and suppressed him.

Faced with the suppression of the two Free God, A Su Long immediately broke free from the Thread Fruit's restraints and no longer wanted to stay here in a subservient manner.

Instead, they chose to resist and take a gamble.

He had to withstand the pressure from Free God Biluo, kill Bifang, kill Zhao Xing and the other descendants, then seize all the Earth God Crystal and escape.

"Retreat! He has broken free from the Thread Fruit's restraints."

Just before A Su Long went berserk, Bowei gave a warning, and Zhao Xing immediately retreated.

The Free God Biluo, immediately moved Zhao Xing to another mountain peak.

"Boom!"

Three divine lights erupted, namely A Su Long, Biluo, Bifang.

"A Su Long has summoned a Power Divine Item Divine General?"

"Is this guy crazy?"

"Isn't he afraid of backfiring?"

The unexpected happened, and everyone immediately moved away from A Su Long.

"Boom!"

The divine hand transformed into towering mountains, and atop each mountain, a gaping maw devoured Li Xia.

It collided with the porcelain artifact that A Su Long had offered up.

"He's really crazy."

"Doing this will result in serious injury even if the bullet is ejected. Just how much do you hate Venerable Han?" Lei Hong, who arrived later, was unaware of what had happened.

"How could he not hate it?" Chu Ji Telepathic Transmission: "A Su Long only took more than 3π Earth God Crystal, but Venerable Han made him bear 30,000 units of karma."

"A Su Long is probably the biggest scapegoat."

"What?! Such a thing actually happened!"

A Su Long, Wu Zhen, and Jian Ling were truly unlucky. They didn't realize the conspiracy at first, nor did they realize the power of the "π Silk Fruit." They didn't choose to run away immediately, and by the time they did, they were already facing divine punishment.

Seeing Jian Ling swallowed up by Bifang Wu Zhen turn into a white light and leave, Zhao Xing originally thought that the plan would come to a perfect end.

But an unexpected event occurred. Before fleeing, A Su Long actually unleashed an extremely powerful artifact, which he had previously refused to use because he felt there was still hope of staying. However, after seeing no hope of escape, he unleashed this artifact, which actually severely injured two Free God!

Then it turned into white light, its physical body exploded, and its true spirit was taken away by an invisible hand.

Zhao Xing retreated repeatedly, and finally all the mountain envoys looked at the battlefield with some disbelief.

"The two Free God and A Su Long are all gone."

"Could this guy have actually severely injured two Free God?"

"The Free God Biluo has reached the Late Divine Soldier realm, while Bifang is only at the mid stage of the Divine Soldier, but it is a born deity, could it be that it is also Innate God!"

Not upstairs?

"Something's wrong. My Karma Token starting to fluctuate; I can't see the values anymore. How could this be?"

The crowd was buzzing with discussion. Logically, this should be the time for the outcome of the event, but their god-level superiors had all disappeared.

At the same time, the Karma Token the numerical values to become blurred, which made Chu Ji, Lei Hong, Liu Qingci, Xu Huai and others feel uncertain.

"Let's go back to the Mountain Patrol Divine Department first." Zhao Xing was also unsure of how things would unfold, so he could only return to the safe zone, which was the Mountain Patrol Divine Department.

So Zhi waited for a year, during which time neither Free God Biluo appeared nor any new god appeared in the Mountain Patrol Divine Department.

A year later, someone finally couldn't take it anymore.

"Venerable Han, Han You, Quan De, and Yue Zhen are also gone," Chu Ji said as he ran over. "It seems they've left completely."

"Chu Ji, do you want to leave too?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Yes, I also want to leave." Chu Ji said bluntly, "Boss Han, I've gained enough. I want to leave while the effects of the Historical Post are still going strong."

"Let's go then." Zhao Xing nodded.

"Boss Han, I'm very grateful to you," Chu Ji said sincerely. "Without you, I wouldn't have achieved so much."

Zhao Xing smiled slightly. The third opportunity had come to an end. Although the incident with A Su Long had resulted in some Earth God Crystal not being collected in time, it was still possible.

But this time the harvest far exceeded the previous two, and everyone's karma has been positive so far!

When Qian was about to leave, only Chu Ji came to thank him; the rest of the people simply slipped away without even saying goodbye.

However, this is quite normal, since the team was forcibly assembled.

"Boss Han, I come from the 874th Solar Year of the Luo Emperor Era. If Qian Guo has the chance, I will come to find you and repay your favor!"

After saying this, Chu Ji bowed to Zhao Xing, left the main hall, and stepped out. His Historical Post glowed, and after a few steps, Chu Ji's figure blurred and disappeared from the spot.

"The Historical Post provided by the Shadow Sanctum can only be used to escape the secret realm of the Cosmic Ark if the value is positive and one is not experiencing a divine opportunity."

"It's really not easy for Chu Ji to survive in his condition." Liu Qingci slowly walked over from the gate.

"Why aren't you leaving yet?" Zhao Xing glanced at Venerable Jade Flute.

"The target for Chu Ji has been achieved, but mine hasn't," Liu Qingci said softly. "Those who left were all short-sighted."

After the third chance encounter ended, Chu Ji left, Tao You and Quan De left, and a total of twenty-one people left one after another.

Since they didn't know what would happen when A Su Long fought the two Free God, it was a normal choice to leave and preserve their gains, given that they had already made good progress.

Only Zhao Xing, Liu Qingci, Xu Huai, Wei Hua, among others, possessed exceptional skills and great courage, and decided to stay and wait for their opportunity.

As they were talking, Zhao Xing suddenly had a thought.

The Profound Spirit History Book Replica within his body suddenly turned a page, revealing writing on it:

[The "Bifang Free God Biluo" died in 577, and the Bifang Free God was severely injured.]

The course of history in the Yas Sea Domain has changed; the unknown is about to unfold.

Your identity will generate unknown pressure based on your causal values.

Liu Qingci, standing beside him, seemed to sense something as well. "My identity is about to be compromised, Brother Han, can you sense it?"

"Yes," Zhao Xing said with some emotion. "I never expected that A Su Long could actually kill Free God Biluo and severely injure Bifang."

"Historical events have created pressure, and I'm afraid some things on the Yuanzang Divine Sea Ark have changed," Liu Qingci. "I'm going back to my cave to prepare. Han Ping, what about you, Qingci?"

"Goodbye." Zhao Xing nodded.

Three days later, new characters appeared on the Profound Spirit History Book Replica.

[Identity transformation complete. You have acquired a new historical identity: 'Mount Penglai Guardian'.]
