At the next feast, he faced Aiyisuo again and learned that Venerable Guluo He had become the fifth Great God Official, who then pointed at Zhao Xing as a potential subordinate.

Zhao Xing killed Aiyisuo after surviving his ambush, but Gu Luo River’s intervention and the arrival of the Yin-Yang Warship pulled Zhao Xing out of the White Bone Divine Domain and returned him to the Great Ye Dynasty ruins. There, Gu Luo River contacted him and asked him to meet in the Tianyou Ancient Kingdom.

Zhao Xing returned to the Xuanling Star Domain after spending ninety-eight years in the Profound Yellow World, though nearly two thousand years had passed outside. As he met Gu Luo River at the Reincarnation Temple, he learned the truth about divine beings traveling into the past and was left weighing Bowei’s offer to reveal more secrets in exchange for limited freedom.

• Zhao Xing reunited with Yang Baihe, merged with two of his clones, and learned that his friends had grown powerful while he was gone.

• Zhao Xing entered the Reincarnation Temple with Gu Luo River and found Bowei imprisoned beneath a Derivation God Stele.
• Gu Luo River explained that divine realm beings had traveled upstream through time to escape the universe’s eventual destruction, while the World Transfer Tower and similar passages acted as dams that limited changes to history.
• Bowei claimed that five divine wars caused major expansions of the Desolate Territory and identified the Profound Yellow World as a place to sow the Dao, possibly created from Extreme Land Soil.
• Bowei offered to explain more, including Qing Yuzi’s fate and Zhao Xing’s identity, if Zhao Xing found a way to grant him limited freedom.

Zhao Xing learned from Guluo He about the Origin Sea Incident, Qing Yuzi’s path to godhood, the factions’ struggle over resources across time, and the possible sealing of the Profound Yellow World. After returning to Coral City, Zhao Xing reviewed old intelligence and identified the Carlos Family as the force behind an attack on his project and an economic siege.

• Zhao Xing used the Marquis Transformation Art and a Divine Law Pill to inspect Bowei, discovering that Bowei was a contaminated, sealed Divine General Scholar whose knowledge could be unreliable.
• Guluo He told Zhao Xing that the East Yan Ancient Clan’s sacrifice had revived an Ancient God, after which the factions concealed related history and weakened the Great Dao of Sacrifice.

• Guluo He warned Zhao Xing that fleeing into the past would make him an enemy of the Empire and the Great Emperor; Zhao Xing accepted the warning without making a declaration of loyalty.
• After returning to Coral City, Zhao Xing reviewed two confidential files and concluded that the Carlos Family had attacked the Annihilating Star Ancient Road project and besieged the Great Zhou Commerce Association.

Zhao Xing learned how Great Zhou had survived the Carlos Family’s economic war and rallied his allies to declare war on the family. He ambushed Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing, but Martial God Yan Ao’s power protected their Realm Ship until Ban Wu arrived to retrieve it.

• Ji Si told Zhao Xing how the Carlos Family had tried to seize Great Zhou’s interests through military attacks and a devastating commercial encirclement, which Ji Si had endured as Great Zhou’s leader.
• Zhao Xing thanked Ji Si for surviving the karmic battles and asked Five Poisons, Hong Shan, Lushan, and the others to support his retaliation against the Carlos Family.

• Ban Wu appeared and told Venerable Yu and Venerable Bing that he had come by Martial God Yan Ao’s order to retrieve the remaining divine power.

Zhao Xing killed Venerable Bing by forcing him into a True Spirit Tribulation and captured Venerable Yu Hai, whose intelligence revealed a possible Evil God plot across the Desolate Territory Belts. He led an alliance in a Karma War that crippled the Carlos Family, and Fu Jin finally conceded.

• Meng Wu withdrew Yan Ao's remaining divine power from the cabin and told Zhao Xing to grant the Carlos Venerables quick deaths.
• Zhao Xing used his innate abilities to trigger the brothers' eleventh True Spirit Tribulations; Venerable Bing died, while Venerable Yu Hai survived and revealed suspected altars and a long-term Evil God scheme.

• Zhao Xing gathered former partners and allies to launch an economic encirclement against the Carlos Family, while Ji Si used his treasures to support the campaign.
• The Carlos Family's businesses and supplies collapsed under the Karma War, and Fu Jin concluded the family could not prevail and told Xin Yue to contact Zhao Xing and concede.

Zhao Xing forced the Carlos Family to accept crippling reparations, then turned to new duties and investigations as the Third Era approached. While tracking Cloud Heaven Dao into the Black Heaven Desolate Territory, Zhao Xing discovered that Cloud had sought help from a mysterious god, and Zhao Xing’s encounter with its statue ended with him kneeling before the Boundless True God.

• Zhao Xing delayed Fu Jin’s surrender, then let the Carlos brothers enter Great Zhou after three months of waiting and presented them with terms that stripped the Carlos Family of nearly all its wealth and territories.
• Fu Jin accepted the terms, while Ji Si advanced as a Fate Venerable and reported that the Carlos Family would submit without further resistance.
• During Great Zhou’s fifty-year Demigod Feast, Zhao Xing learned that Cloud Heaven Dao was leaving to pursue a secret mission and sent a clone to follow him.
• Zhao Xing’s clone followed Cloud Heaven Dao to a hidden ancient ship in the Black Heaven Desolate Territory, then questioned Rainbow Wind Fairy and learned that she and Cloud had obtained a god statue while seeking a way to resurrect the Xia Emperor.
• When Rainbow Wind Fairy handed over a dark-red token, the statue tried to influence her, so Zhao Xing severed her hand, burned it, and placed her in his World Ring.
• The Boundless True God appeared through the statue and compelled Zhao Xing to kneel; Zhao Xing resisted its influence enough to remain clear-headed and pretended to seek its guidance.

Zhao Xing questioned Boundless True God about the conflict between the present era and the gods who traveled into the past, then captured Cloud Heaven Dao after he returned from the Black Heaven Desolate Territory. Cloud Heaven Dao began explaining his forbidden mission to Zhao Xing and Rainbow Wind Fairy.

• Zhao Xing told Boundless True God about his suffering, and Boundless True God offered divine power if Zhao Xing’s true body brought the statue to the Black Heaven Desolate Territory.
• Zhao Xing asked Boundless True God about the competing claims surrounding the Desolate Territory, and Boundless True God said the restart faction sought to renew the universe while the Wilderness Era gods obstructed them.

• Zhao Xing released Cloud Heaven Dao and Rainbow Wind Fairy, offered Cloud Heaven Dao resources to escape, and prepared to leave.
• Cloud Heaven Dao stopped Zhao Xing and said he had kept his forbidden plan secret to avoid implicating him, then agreed to explain it.

Zhao Xing learned how Cloud Heaven Dao had tried to revive the Xia Emperor through sacrifices to Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother, then helped him become a divine guard and report the Evil God’s identity. Guluo He approved the arrangement, explained the dangers of the Celestial Timing path, and warned that the coming Ice Age could erase Zhao Xing’s memories if he did not become a god soon.

• Cloud Heaven Dao told Zhao Xing how he had reached Lord Level, failed to revive the Xia Emperor, and obtained a Reincarnation Altar from Yue Luo Mausoleum.
• Cloud Heaven Dao revealed that he had sacrificed more than ten billion people and over fifty thousand Yin Yang Twin Stars to Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother, so Zhao Xing offered to take responsibility by appointing him a divine guard.
• Ji Si and the Eight Directions Artifact Spirit concealed Cloud Heaven Dao inside the Eight Directions Divine Mirror, where he identified Heavenly Ji Thunder Mother and disclosed her missions and the Daoist scholar Poincare.
• The Eight Directions Artifact Spirit identified the Boundless True God as a powerful formation god, and Zhao Xing reasoned that beings could not travel back from the universe’s Nirvana phase.

• Guluo He described the conflict with his father over the universe’s future and warned Zhao Xing that the approaching Ice Age could disrupt his memories if he failed to become a god soon.

Zhao Xing explored the Profound Spirit Treasury, then traveled to the Black Heaven Desolate Territory to meet the Boundless True God. After Zhao Xing reported Venerable Hu Jue as a traitor and earned 150,000 Contribution Points, the Boundless True God descended before him, Venerable Fu Ping, and Venerable Hu Jue.

• Zhao Xing learned that Cloud Heaven Dao had become his divine guard, and Ji Si showed him the long lists of people named Poincare and the location of Jie Fa Luo’s original divine artifact.
• Zhao Xing opened the Profound Spirit Treasury, found that its best treasures and godhood resources cost far more than his 3,500 Contribution Points, and set out for the Black Heaven Desolate Territory.
• Zhao Xing reached the Boundless True God’s temple and saw Venerable Fu Ping and Venerable Hu Jue arrive as fellow believers.
• Zhao Xing reported Venerable Hu Jue to Guluo He, who confirmed that Fu Ping was an infiltrator for humanity and Hu Jue was a traitor, awarding Zhao Xing 150,000 Contribution Points.
• Venerable Hu Jue’s assets were seized and his relatives arrested or executed; suspecting Venerable Fu Ping had exposed him, he marked Fu Ping and Zhao Xing with hatred.
• The hands on the Mechanism Throne began turning, and the Boundless True God descended in a blaze of golden light.

Zhao Xing accepted three difficult missions from the Boundless True God, used the time-origin divine power to strengthen his cultivation, and began hunting criminals and Evil God believers while avoiding True Spirit Tribulations. Fourteen years later, he returned with the materials for his first mission and summoned the Boundless True God to report his progress.

• The Boundless True God gave Zhao Xing three portions of time-origin divine power and assigned him missions to gather sacrificial materials, nurture Myriad Epoch Flower God Seeds, or raise Bookworm Larvae on History Books.
• Venerable Hu Jue attacked Venerable Fu Ping after Zhao Xing left, while Zhao Xing escaped the Black Heaven Desolate Territory and passed a mental inspection at Mind God Palace.

• Zhao Xing hunted star pirates and corrupt figures across the Profound Spirit Star Region, destroying the Snow Feather Gang and killing Snow Moon Emperor before the Three Suns Kingdom Lord praised his actions.
• Over fourteen years, Zhao Xing completed the Boundless True God's first mission and earned Contribution Points by reporting Evil God believers; he then arrived at the Black Heaven Desolate Territory to summon the Boundless True God.

Zhao Xing obtained the god-level Celestial Timing cultivation method Great Sun No Sea from the Boundless True God, then secured more Extreme Star Origin from the Eight Directions Divine Mirror and rapidly strengthened all three of his cultivation paths. After transforming his mana balance and combat ability, he received an invitation from Venerable Wan Ying to meet in Myriad Stars City.

• Zhao Xing observed the Divine Temple’s clock, offered the Boundless True God soul spirits and Yin-Yang Dual Cores, and requested a god-level Celestial Timing cultivation method.
• Zhao Xing learned Great Sun No Sea just before the cultivation method’s Spirit disappeared, and the Boundless True God invited him to cultivate in his Space-Time Territory, but Zhao Xing declined for the time being.
• Zhao Xing learned that the Eight Directions Divine Mirror held Extreme Star Light, guessed its artifact spirit was the Hemp Robe Divine Physiognomy, and received twenty wisps of Extreme Star Origin.
• Zhao Xing advanced Great Sun No Sea to its second layer, balanced his three god-level cultivation methods, strengthened his sacred body, and greatly improved his Nine Marsh God transformation.
• Venerable Five Poisons told Zhao Xing that Venerable Wan Ying wanted to meet him in Myriad Stars City, and Zhao Xing agreed to go.

Zhao Xing befriended several powerful demigods in Myriad Stars City, learned how the coming space-time memory disaster might affect the Desolate Territory, and gathered treasures and techniques to prepare for it. As the Third Era began, he stood with Ji Si at Jiachen Pass until the nine highest-grade Sun Stars in the Oceanic Frontier went dark and an advancing wave of ice froze everything in its path.

• Five Poisons brought Zhao Xing to meet Venerable Wan Ying, Venerable Hao Yu, Venerable Saint Wing, and Venerable Fu Ping, who hoped to befriend him and learn about his influence on godhood prospects.

• In the final World Star Year of the Second Era, Zhao Xing and Ji Si placed Great Zhou’s important figures in the Eight Directions Divine Mirror and prepared Jiachen Pass for the coming crisis.
• As the era turned, Zhao Xing sensed the Pole Star’s reflection begin to rotate and saw the nine highest-grade Sun Stars in the Oceanic Frontier go dark as ice spread toward the Profound Spirit Star Region.

After learning that the Mirage Sea Alliance had likely been destroyed by the cosmic disaster, Zhao Xing sought permission to help the Empire and traveled to the Origin Heavenly Palace to strengthen the Primordial Beginning Straw Man. He spent his divine items on supplementary materials and began public trials for two rare core materials, drawing the attention of a stunned demigod who saw his record.

• Zhao Xing learned that the frozen Chaotic Sea had probably wiped out the Mirage Sea Alliance, and Gu Luo River confirmed that its survival odds were below one in ten thousand.
• Zhao Xing asked to join the Empire’s response to the disasters, and Gu Luo River agreed on the condition that he strengthen the Primordial Beginning Straw Man and address the danger posed by the Great Beginning Clone.
• Zhao Xing traveled to the Origin Heavenly Palace and learned that demigods competed for rare Xu Zu materials through Contribution Points, queues, and difficult trials.
• Zhao Xing sold seven divine items to Divine General Bei Hai and received twenty-one sets of First Tier Divine Soldier materials.
• Zhao Xing spent two million Contribution Points to challenge the Earth Core Blood Nucleus and Extreme Profound Soul Tree Heart trials, despite Chen Jiu warning that the current technique could not yet combine them into a divine-grade clone.
• Divine General Bei Hai notified the first ten people in the Earth Core Blood Nucleus queue, and Venerable Zhang He was shocked when he checked Zhao Xing’s record.

Zhao Xing won the Earth Core Blood Nucleus trial against Bomeng, then suffered serious injuries to obtain the Soul Tree Heart as well. After recovering, he planned to visit Bomeng’s homeland while considering killing Jin Yan to advance his Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique.

• Heavenly Crown Venerable learned that Zhao Xing was challenging the Earth Core Blood Nucleus trial, while Bomeng’s teacher sent him to retrieve the nucleus as a test.
• Zhao Xing navigated the Blood Core Realm Palace’s first two layers, transformed into a descendant of the Nine Marsh God, and defeated Bomeng to claim the Earth Core Blood Nucleus.
• Zhao Xing passed the Soul Tree Heart trial by burning lifespan and split-soul true spirits to break through its final defense, then received a warning from Chen Jiu about the cost of such methods.
• Zhao Xing asked Bomeng about Pu Yan, recovered at the Source Origin Heavenly Palace, and found that his completed Primordial Beginning Straw Man still would not move.
• Zhao Xing decided he might kill Jin Yan to advance the technique, then asked Bomeng to accompany him to the demon’s homeland, and Bomeng gladly agreed.

Zhao Xing visited Venerable Bomeng’s territory, where he corrected Peng Yue’s agricultural methods and spent ten years improving the land. Bomeng then gave Zhao Xing the captured Jin Yan; Zhao Xing killed him, gained part of his shattered Great Dao, and suspected the Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique was funneling its practitioners’ power to Gu Tianyang before departing to investigate.

• Zhao Xing criticized Venerable Bomeng’s crude territory and taught Peng Yue, a demon Minister of Agriculture who revered him, how to correct its imbalances.
• Over three years, Zhao Xing reshaped Bomeng’s territory, and Bomeng later arranged for his subordinates to capture Jin Yan and all his clones.
• After ten years, Bomeng gave Zhao Xing Jin Yan, explaining that he had paid heavily to capture him and dissolve the Divine Spirit Contracts protecting him.
• Zhao Xing entered the box, subdued Jin Yan’s many incarnations, and killed him after a year of using the Desire Dream Method.
• Jin Yan’s shattered Great Dao gave Zhao Xing a half-step of progress, but Zhao Xing refused Zuo Qiyu’s challenge and warned that much of the Great Dao’s power had gone elsewhere.
• Zhao Xing suspected Gu Tianyang was using the Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique to absorb power from its practitioners and left to investigate the technique’s origins.

Zhao Xing investigated the Primordial Beginning Straw Man Technique and discovered it might conceal an ancient sacrificial method, then received Qing Yuzi’s warning that History Book Worms were devouring history across time. He realized the Bookworm Calamity had already begun altering people’s memories and identities.

• Zhao Xing studied Wei Tianchen’s notes and concluded that Gu Tianyang’s Straw Man Art might be one of the ancient Twelve Divine Sacrifices, so he stopped researching it further.
• Zhao Xing tested his divine-level straw man body and found it could unleash an attack as powerful as a Free God’s.
• Purple Moon Emperor Lord and Yuqing Emperor Lord sacrificed a million years of lifespan each to stabilize Qing Yuzi’s message, which told them to find Zhao Xing.
• Zhao Xing traded Heavenly Crown Venerable permission to observe the Earth Core Blood Nucleus for history books, then fed the books to his History Book Worm larvae.
• Zhao Xing answered Du Yun’s call and traveled to Powa Star Continent, where Qing Yuzi’s torn history-book page warned him that adult History Book Worms were devouring history through the River of Time.
• As Zhao Xing read the warning, Yuqing Emperor Lord’s memories changed and she attacked Purple Moon Emperor Lord; after Zhao Xing subdued her, Purple Moon Emperor Lord also forgot who he was.

Zhao Xing uncovered that a mutated Epoch Worm had infiltrated the Great Derivation Divine Weapon, triggering a crisis across the Empire’s artifact-spirit systems, and helped expose the Evil God Faction’s wider plan. After the Empire rewarded him with 150 million Contribution Points, Zhao Xing returned to Great Zhou and learned that the coming Bookworm and Space-Time calamities aimed to distort perceptions and turn Dharma assemblies into the main battlefield.

• Zhao Xing consulted Heavenly Crown Venerable about the History Book Worms and learned that the history of Tianyou Ancient Kingdom had become obscured.
• When the Star Mirror malfunctioned and the Empire’s artifact spirits turned hostile, Zhao Xing escaped using Instant Flower Sea teleportation and reached the Empire’s leadership.

• Zhao Xing joined Ji Si and Great Zhou’s leaders, learned that Great Zhou had largely escaped the calamity, and heard that the Evil God Faction’s plan sought to distort perceptions and make Dharma assemblies its main battlefield.

Zhao Xing and Venerable Hong Shan escorted Academy City’s treasures through attacks that warped scholars’ memories, and Zhao Xing stopped Yan Chuan and seven elders from sacrificing the convoy. After reaching the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, Zhao Xing learned that the Immeasurable True God wanted him to win the coming Mountain Head Competition and kill Kuang Chuan, then set out to retrieve his clone from Brow Mountain.

• Feng Chen announced Academy City’s relocation to the Ancient Hill of Antiquity, and Venerable Hong Shan urged Zhao Xing to leave the Empire for safety.
• Xue Qing sent Kuang Chuan to the Ancient Hill of Antiquity on Divine General Zi Yin’s orders to contend in the Mountain Head Competition.

• Lord Lushan told Zhao Xing that his clone had finished secluded study at Brow Mountain, and Zhao Xing went to retrieve him.

Zhao Xing arrived at Brow Mountain, reunited with his split soul, and absorbed three thousand years of cultivation memories, gaining powerful secret arts and deriving a theoretical Heaven and Earth Attainment Method. With the Mountain Head Competition approaching, he considered visiting the Black Heaven Desolate Territory to claim his reward and prepare for formidable rivals.

• Lord Lushan guided Zhao Xing through Brow Mountain, explained why demons valued being raised there, and showed him a young Silvermoon Heavenly Wolf who had transformed into Zhao Xing's likeness.
• Lord Lushan left Zhao Xing at Brow Mountain, where Zhao Xing entered Green Ridge and met Venerable Meishan, who revealed his plan to step down as Mountain Head and urged Zhao Xing to compete for the position.
• Venerable Meishan sent Zhao Xing into Divine Venerable Lan's domain, where Zhao Xing met Lan Chuan and then went to merge with his split soul at South Mountain Manor.
• As Zhao Xing's memories merged, he learned the Five Elements Spirit Pearl Earth Palace Art and Layered World Mountain Art, then deduced a theoretical Extreme Land Divine Mountain method for attaining godhood.
• Zhao Xing learned that his split soul had mastered the Space-Time Earth Passage Art and passed a rare space-time tribulation; after the merger, he crushed his thirteenth True Spirit Tribulation and reached the Thirteen Tribulation True Spirit.
• Zhao Xing learned that Brow Mountain's selection would begin in eight years and considered traveling to the Black Heaven Desolate Territory to claim his reward before facing rivals such as Venerable Kuang Chuan.
