Chapter 2166: Chapter 4: Infinite Evil God? True God? (15,000 Words)_6

Cloud Sky Dao stubbornly believes that he is an official of the Xia Dynasty, not Great Zhou, so whether it is Emperor Wu’s Qi Fortune Golden Pill or other resources, Cloud Sky Dao has always refused them.

However, now Cloud Sky Dao is at Lord-level, although his strength lags behind among his old friends, Zhao Xing respects him greatly.

"I wasn’t planning to come, but I’m about to journey far away, unsure if I will return, so I came to bid farewell." Cloud Sky Dao raised his wine cup and clinked it with Zhao Xing’s.

"Journey far away, where are you going?" Zhao Xing asked curiously.

Cloud Sky Dao remained silent, clearly unwilling to reveal his destination to Zhao Xing.

"Is there anything I can assist you with?" Zhao Xing asked.

"No need, I can manage myself."

Zhao Xing nodded, not asking further, only reminiscing some past affairs with Cloud Sky Dao.

For several thousand years, Cloud Sky Dao hasn’t roamed the Ancient Star Path but has been adventuring on another ancient path.

Zhao Xing was very curious about Cloud Sky Dao’s breakthrough, as Heavenly Time Sect in this era doesn’t have superior cultivation techniques, but Zhao Xing had never heard of Cloud Sky Dao’s technique.

"Brother Yun, is this ’Cloud Realm’ of yours a self-created Heavenly Time Technique?"

"Yes." Cloud Sky Dao nodded, "I’ve examined many techniques from Heavenly Time Sect, including those from Four Seasons Palace and Zi Wu Heavenly Time Hall, but I felt they weren’t suitable for me."

Could it be Old Yun ventures far to pursue the Heavenly Time Dao?

At the moment of departure, Zhao Xing consistently felt a faint sense of melancholy from Cloud Sky Dao’s Daoist couple, a feeling from her disposition. Unsure whether it caused any conflicts.

After Cloud Sky Dao left, Zhao Xing called upon Ji Si to divinate Cloud Sky Dao’s destiny.

Ji Si held the Eight-direction Divine Mirror, performed a ritual, and quickly got some past and future insights about Cloud Sky Dao.

"Two thousand five hundred years ago, around the time we began crafting the Ancient Star Path, Cloud Sky Dao cured his Daoist couple, but unfortunately, Emperor Xia couldn’t be cured and perished."

Ji Si pointed at the mirror, "Later, Cloud Sky Dao went to Heaven Leisure Ancient Country, seemingly to seek the Reincarnation Temple’s revival, but obviously, it wasn’t successful."

"He wants to revive Emperor Xia?" Zhao Xing frowned, as without a race war, like a war between the Human Clan and the Demon Race, the Reincarnation Temple usually doesn’t unfreeze revival rights."

Because it involves guarding the realm passage, how could it open backdoors for individuals?

By time calculations, Emperor Xia must sustain revival while remaining conscious, requiring a return to the pre-Desolate Domain Era.

The Desolate Domain Era and before constituted a key temporal barrier, if revived post-Desolate Domain Era, Emperor Xia would still be mad.

"How is his future?"

"Hmm?" Ji Si suddenly voiced a doubt.

"What’s wrong?" Zhao Xing also glanced over.

The mirror showed pitch-black, revealing nothing.

"What’s happening?"

Ji Si pondered with furrowed brows, "Logically, deducing Cloud Sky Dao’s destiny should hardly present a challenge for me."

"I set the time point in the first Solar Year of the Desolate Third Epoch, but it shows complete darkness."

"In this situation, either Cloud Sky Dao died, or he’s protected by a Divine Artifact, making it impossible to investigate."

"There’s also the possibility he isn’t dead, but resides in a unique place like the Black Sky Wilderness."

"In such restricted zones, a Fate Master’s power cannot penetrate deeply."

"Or the Desolate Third Epoch experienced a disaster disrupting the Path of Cause and Effect."

"I predict, Grand Minister of Agriculture, you experience similarly, dwelling in chaos, though you have an additional possibility beyond Cloud Sky Dao."

"What possibility?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Becoming a God." Ji Si whispered, "In the God Realm, one can minimize their cause and effect, akin to cosmic noise, elusive. Some powerful gods even leap beyond cause and effect."

Zhao Xing wasn’t surprised by Ji Si’s words, as formidable Divine beings can traverse the Time River; possessing capabilities to transcend the Path of Cause and Effect isn’t uncommon.

"Regarding Cloud Sky Dao’s case, I don’t see the possibility of him reaching God Realm," Ji Si remarked, "So something must have happened with him, but he chooses not to disclose it to us."

"Cloud Sky Dao has always been like this," Ji Si sighed, "He regards us as compatriots, but not colleagues, friends, perhaps you, Grand Minister, as a friend. However, I don’t know much about him."

Zhao Xing felt a bit sentimental; indeed, Cloud Sky Dao lacks a sense of belonging to Great Zhou; he is a Xia Dynasty remnant. Even upon reaching the cosmic version, most of the time, Cloud Sky Dao ventured alone.

In reality, I haven’t provided much help to Cloud Sky Dao; instead, it was Cloud Sky Dao who extended assistance multiple times to Great Zhou across the Yuanhai Ancient Country and Lai Empire.

"Even if Cloud Sky Dao doesn’t want it, I should do something for him."

Zhao Xing looked at the pitch-black mirror, pondered briefly, and dispatched a Taichu Avatar that silently emerged from the underground and followed Cloud Sky Dao’s trail.

...

Time passed, and fifty years swiftly elapsed, leaving merely the last decade before the Desolate Third Epoch.

After the Demigod Banquet concluded, Zhao Xing began preparing to undertake five tasks.

Among them, three were personal matters, and two were public affairs.

The first personal task: Start cultivating the Method of Attainment for godhood, including the concurrent cultivation of Wei Tianchen’s Medical Dao, featuring the ’Heaven Repairing Technique,’ and crafting the series of Five Great Divine Medicines as his focus for comprehension.

The Heaven Repairing Technique is the core spell for Wei Tianchen’s Path of Enlightenment to Godhood.

His philosophy is to eliminate the parasites (strong ones) within heaven and earth, restoring the Way to heaven.

This is akin to accumulating merits through killing.

Nonetheless, speaking is easy, implementing is challenging.
