Ji Si's Moment of Glory!

In the bamboo house, inside the ice coffin, Zhao Xing had been lying for fifty years.

On this day, Qing Yuzi came to check on Zhao Xing's injuries as usual, and couldn't help but feel a little curious.

"The recovery is faster than expected. What was originally estimated to be a hundred or eighty years will now only take a few more years before he can emerge from the coffin."

Zhao Xing remained silent, continuing to intensify his internal energy cultivation to recover. The medicinal liquid in the entire ice coffin was rapidly fading, shimmering with divine light, clearly indicating that he was at a crucial moment in his cultivation.

Seeing this, Qing Yuzi didn't disturb him. She helped Zhao Xing change the medicine in a bucket and then went out to attend to her own business.

Three years later, the Golden Light in the ice coffin gradually faded.

"!"

A giant hand burst through the coffin lid, clouds rose, and Zhao Xing slowly sat up.

"Fifty-three years, that's a long time." Zhao Xing looked at his hands and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "I can't play with Firecracker Bamboo like this anymore."

The Firecracker Bamboo cultivated by the Penglai Divine General were extremely rare, completely lacking any true spiritual consciousness.

If one possesses true spiritual consciousness, one can perform more precise targeted explosions, much like controlling military units.

The reason Penglai Divine General abandoned the true spirit of plants was mainly because he discovered that Firecracker Bamboo with true spirit consciousness would not continue to hoard the Source of Destruction, because true spirit consciousness would follow the instinct of life and maintain its own growth.

Hoarding the Source of Destruction, the Fire Origin, will suppress the Source of Life, just as a person will not eat until they are stuffed to death.

"Let's use Firecracker Bamboo pellets from now on." Zhao Xing summoned a Rain Water to wash away the medicinal residue on his body and put on the Grain Rain Robe.

The recovery was faster and better than expected.

The main reason is that Zhao Xing was able to use the magic of the three schools to heal himself in the latter half of his recovery.

He constructed a Life Earth Palace inside the ice coffin, and at the same time had Lao Qing stack a layer of Earth God Crystal at the bottom of the ice coffin, and then cast the Earth Treasury Return to Origin Technique.

The Great Sun Nature Sea actively regulates the six elements within the body, while the Internal World continuously supplies the purest source of life.

"Whoosh~" A gust of wind blew open the door, Qing Yuzi appeared in the room.

"You're recovering quite quickly. How are you feeling?"

"He's fully recovered. The medical skills he learned from Divine General Bi Qi weren't for nothing." Nine needles flew out of Zhao Xing's body. "By the way, Bi Qi and Chou Gu— "

"We've let them go," Qing Yuzi said. "Don't worry."

"Oh, it seems you know this place very well."

"Of course!" Qing Yuzi became quite excited when the topic turned to business.

He took out a sand table containing the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths Map from the Luo Emperor Era.

"This place is called 'Flowing Void Ravine,' a void layer located between the [Pan Hu Land] and the [Seven Luminaries Moyi Heaven]."

"There's not much to say about the location; it's just a temporary cave dwelling created by Divine King Yu Heng."

"While you were recovering, I let Bi Qi and the others go and also took a walk around the area."

"Originally, there should have been some Star Continent and Realm Star here, but they were all broken apart, forming a Star-Shatter Belt."

"I observed some ethereal scenes, with some concealed methods. These should be arrangements left behind by the Divine King Zhang Yue."

"Since Zhang Yue said that the God King can no longer enter, we can safely venture into Yu Heng's Internal World."

Zhao Xing looked at the map and nodded. The situation was basically the same as that described by the Divine King Zhang Yue.

Because Zhang Yue had repeatedly tried to distort spacetime and reverse Yu Heng's life and death, the spacetime changed after the failure, causing what was originally an ordinary place to become a cosmic wonder, God King could no longer enter.

"So how do we get in?"

"Look here." Qing Yuzi pointed to the real-world image. "There is a pale blue arc-shaped mist area outside the body of Divine King Yu Heng. According to Zhang Yue, one can enter Yu Heng's Internal World from this place."

"But I haven't tried going in yet, I'm just waiting for you to go together."

Zhao Xing felt a warmth in his heart.

Lao Qing is indeed reliable. With the treasure right in front of him, he actually resisted going in and waited for himself to recover.

"Now that you've recovered, why don't we set off now?"

Qing Yuzi was already quite impatient.

"Wait a little longer," Zhao Xing said. "I've just recovered from a serious illness; give me some more time to recuperate."

"That's true." Qing Yuzi nodded in agreement, without any suspicion.

In reality, Zhao Xing was thinking about Bowei's closed-loop theory.

The current closed loop is not yet complete; I will leave, while Qing Yuzi will go in alone to explore.

However, Zhao Xing didn't know what would cause him to leave suddenly, and he was still waiting for this unknown event to occur.

After waiting for about half a year, Zhao Xing suddenly had a thought in the secret room.

They then summoned the White Jade Five Tombs Ship and entered the Boundless True God Palace.

The incense burner was lit, and a faint fragrance wafted out.

The statue of the Immeasurable True God also came to life.

"Greetings to the True God."

"Zhao Xing, where are you now?"

"Reporting to the True God, after being pursued, Qing Yuzi and I activated the world teleportation array, and I have been healing my wounds ever since—."

"Is there any progress in your Ming Li Shadowless Art?"

"Not yet a breakthrough."

"Hmph, that Qing Yuzi is a real menace."

The Immeasurable True God was somewhat angry.

How could he not be angry? If Zhao Xing hadn't gone to close the loop for Qing Yuzi, how could he have fought with Heaven Divine King Xi?

How could we possibly uproot the stronghold of the Supreme Truth Pavilion and destroy the foundation upon which Lotus Sound Divine General attained enlightenment?

Although the Immeasurable True God was not afraid of trouble or the consequences, he was still very angry when he thought that Zhao Xing and Qing Yuzi had caused all these things.

It feels like your own child has been led astray.

"Complete the closed loop as soon as possible and return to Divine Mechanism City."

"Yes."

The Immeasurable True God gave a word of advice, and the statue lost its divine charm once again.

After leaving the Divine Temple, Zhao Xing seemed lost in thought.

He initially guessed that it was an order from the Immeasurable True God that forced him to leave.

However, after the conversation just now, Zhao Xing felt that although the Immeasurable True God had some kind of arrangement for him, he was not in such a hurry to ask him to go back immediately.

In other words, I guessed wrong.

"What could it be—?"

After waiting for another three years, Qing Yuzi could no longer contain himself and came to urge them on.

Zhao Xing didn't know how to explain, so he could only use the excuse that he was still recovering.

Another month has passed.

One morning, the Zu Dynasty Tablet inside Zhao Xing's body suddenly began to ring.

"Um?"

Zhao Xing diverted his attention Entanglement the Zu Emperor Dynasty.

Metaphor

The scene before him changed, and his mind was drawn to the carriage bearing the inscription of the Zu Emperor Dynasty.

At this moment, there is also a human figure made of ink painting inside the carriage.

"Zhao Xing pays his respects to the Moon God Palace Master."

The ink-painting figure's lips moved. "Zhao Xing, the plan has changed. You need to return to the Desolate Territory Era."

"Return to the Desolate Territory Era?" Zhao Xing's heart skipped a beat. So that's where it was supposed to be. But what urgent matter required him to go back?

"Palace Master, what has happened?"

"With Ji Si's help, your Qi cultivation system has made a breakthrough, and the emperor of the Great Zhou has condensed Luck Divine Seal."

"The Great Zhou summoned back its civil and military officials and suddenly attacked the Chenluo Desolate Territory, capturing the Black and White Hall Master who was guarding the old site of the Fengshan Ruins and forcibly unsealing the Profound Yellow World."

The words spoken by the Ink Man were like a thunderclap, exploding in Zhao Xing's mind.

Zhao Xing was shocked by what the Moon God Palace Master said.

"Such a change was completely unexpected, and even I underestimated Ji Si's abilities," said the Moon God Palace Master. "His Eight Directions Divine Mirror concealed the secrets of heaven, and even I did not perceive his true intentions."

Under the explanation of the Moon God Palace Master, Zhao Xing finally understood the cause and effect.

After parting ways with Ji Si 341 years before the Desolate Territory, Ji Si returned to the Desolate Territory Era, reverting to the point in time when she traveled back in time.

Meanwhile, he continued his journey and arrived at the White Phoenix Pavilion. Following the script of the Moon God Palace Master, he successfully escaped the Desolate Territory Faction and was taken away by the Immeasurable True God.

The scene performed at the White Phoenix Pavilion was incredibly realistic. First, the Xufeng Divine General betrayed them, and then they were poisoned by the Physician God General Ruo Xi.

Meanwhile, the Demon Race Divine General Huan Li took the opportunity to "add insult to injury" and took away part of his Classic of Mountains.

Afterwards, Yan Ao and Lu Ya, having finished their escort duties, returned to the Desolate Territory Era.

Things started to slowly escalate.

Originally, Ji Si wouldn't have found out so quickly, but Ji Si was Fate Master and had the help of the Hemp Robe Divine Physiognomy Physician, so she learned about the news very early on.

He went to the Origin Heavenly Palace to ask Lu Ya, and then to the Empire to inquire about Yan Ao. Having obtained more clues, Ji Si witnessed the scenes of Zhao Xing being assassinated and forced.

Ji Si was originally just a Demigod, so the Moon God Palace Master had no need to explain to Ji Si.

The fewer people who know about such secrets, the less likely they are to be leaked.

Lu Ya and Yan Ao were both kept in the dark by the Moon God Palace Master, let alone a mere Demigod Fate Master.

Even if Ji Si knew the news, she wouldn't be able to cause any trouble. All methods of traversing time and space were under the control of the Human Race's super powers.

What could Ji Si do?

However, Ji Si actually came up with a solution. He first used an almost insane method of cultivation to inherit the legacy of the Hemp Robe Divine Physiognomy within a thousand years, and became the true master of the Eight Directions Divine Mirror.

Subsequently, Ji Si, having nowhere else to turn, conspired with Ji Che of the Great Zhou Human Emperor and Liu Tianning to rescue Zhao Xing.

Since the Profound Spirit Human Race's super power controls the passage through time and space, opening it would require sufficiently powerful forces.

Ji Si believed that the only way to break the deadlock was to further advance the Fate Divine Dynasty system.

Thus, during the second millennium, Ji Si traveled throughout the Xuanling Star Domain and also searched through the Celestial Master Mansion of the Empire.

Ji Si actually figured some things out.

Ji Si pieced together a portion of the Fate Divine Dynasty Cultivation Method, which had been lost since the end of Emperor Rui.

Emperor Ji Che was granted the Luck Free God Universal Promotion!

Then, the third millennium plan began.

The Great Zhou frantically liquidated all its assets, constantly recruiting soldiers and expanding its territory.

"Conquer territories, increase the martial prowess of civil and military officials, expand the population base, and collect the Five Emperors Coins and Profound Spirit Ancient Coin."

At the same time, Ji Si also commanded that Ancient God in the Tianze Star Domain to expand the influence of the Great Zhou everywhere.

The Dynasty of Fate system rapidly helped the Great Zhou grow stronger through a fission-like process.

By the end of the third millennium, the Great Zhou had actually become the second strongest of all the ancient kingdoms.

The Moon God Palace Master sighed softly, "The expansion and annexation of mortal forces is a matter of survival of the fittest within the Human Race, and we usually don't interfere."

"In addition, Lu Ya and Yan Ao felt somewhat guilty towards Ji Si and the Great Zhou. Among the super powers, the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, the Empire, and the Origin Heavenly Palace almost all remained silent, letting Ji Si vent her anger."

"At that time, although I noticed some of Ji Si's intentions, I didn't pay much attention to such expansion at first. Because there is a limit to its expansion. No matter how much it expands and grows, as long as it cannot incorporate the Divine Realm into the long river of national destiny, it cannot bring about a real qualitative change."

"The Great Zhou has no right to try and win over the Divine Realm."

Zhao Xing nodded. Yes, although there were more and more Divine Realm experts appearing in the Desolate Territory Era, no one really took the newly emerging Great Zhou Dynasty seriously.

They might take a second look because of themselves, but if it's just an assessment of strength, no god would go to the Great Zhou as an undercover agent; at most, they would be at the Demigod level.

"So, Ji Si has set her sights on the Profound Yellow World?"

"Yes." The Moon God Palace Master nodded. "The Land of Fengshan lost its divine charm after the end of the Five Emperors Era; it is a lost land."

"That place was originally Desolate Territory, but now it has been revitalized."

"At the beginning of the Third Era of the Desolate Territory, the Reincarnation Temple, having noticed this, had differing opinions among its members; some believed that it should be explored."

Some believe in controlling the forces at play, while others think we should Let Nature Take Its Course.

"At that time, the Evil God of the Past Faction launched an attack. The Reincarnation Temple believed that it was not worth wasting more energy to contact this mysterious place, so it chose to seal it away and send people to guard it."

"The Black and White Hall Master is a deputy palace master who is in charge of guarding the palace. He is a Free Divine General."

"This level of power was already sufficient to handle the vast majority of situations."

"There is also a warning line there. If an Evil God were to set foot in the Chenluo Desolate Territory, it would immediately trigger the suppression of the six super powers."

"But Ji Si is not a god. When he entered the Chenluo Desolate Territory, this warning function was not triggered."

Zhao Xing asked in surprise, "You mean the Demigod Ji Si captured the Black and White Divine General, one of the vice-temple masters of the Reincarnation Temple?"

"Yes." The Moon God Palace Master nodded.

At this moment, Zhao Xing felt no sense of urgency; on the contrary, he felt somewhat relieved.

The "Pay-to-Pay Master" lives up to his name; after investing for many years, he's finally seeing the results!

Well done Ji Si!

However, despite these thoughts, Zhao Xing did not forget the important matter at hand:

"Palace Master, now that you've discovered it, you should be able to stop him easily."

Indeed, Ji Si and the Great Zhou have developed rapidly, but their progress has reached its limit by capturing the Black and White Divine General.

There's no way they could possibly fight against a God King.

As long as the Moon God Palace Master intervenes, Ji Si and the Great Zhou will still be unable to cause Rising Wind.

So why bother going back to the Honey Domain Era yourself?

Although he knew it was part of a closed loop, Zhao Xing still wanted to understand it clearly.

The Moon God Palace Master glanced at Zhao Xing, then separated a stream of liquid, which quickly condensed into a sheet of white paper.

When Zhao Xing looked over, a scene appeared on the white paper.

The scene, spanning time and space, was recreated.

Zhao Xing, from a first-person perspective, saw the Moon God Palace Master arrive at the Shen Luo Realm outside the Profound Yellow World.

Meanwhile, Ji Si was already quietly waiting outside the boundary.

He stood beneath the starry sky, with a mirror as tall as a person behind him.

Ji Si did not see the Moon God Palace Master at this moment, but still cupped her hands towards the void.

"I, Ji Si, the First Fate Officials of the Great Zhou, Profound Spirit Gods Fated Words!"

Ji Si waved her hand, and a Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet was reflected in the Eight Directions Divine Mirror.

"Once I leave my current position, the Eight Directions Divine Mirror will shatter immediately. This Seven-Star Dipper Cabinet will then detonate instantly."

"It's powerful enough to destroy the existing cultivation system of the entire Xuanling Star Domain, turning half of the Spirit Domain into a honey-like region!"
