Chapter 2168: Chapter 4: Infinite Evil God? True God? (15,000 Words)_8

"The Demon Race is also contributing in the fight against the Evil God, but their ideology slightly differs from ours and they do not belong to our hierarchy, so there is currently no good solution."

Hearing this, Zhao Xing suddenly remembered, "Senior Gu, what is the origin of the Shadow Temple?"

The Shadow Temple is also a very mysterious organization. From the earliest sacrificial ceremonies of the East Extending Ancient Clan, people have used it to hire killers against themselves. Later, Wei Tianchen posted bounties at the Shadow Temple. It seems to be omnipresent.

"It is only known that the Shadow Temple has existed since the Five Emperors Era." Guluo River shook his head, "They exist in any time and space, but no one knows their origins and background."

"They are purer than the Reincarnation Temple, accepting any task as long as the price is sufficient. The Great Emperor speculated that it was established by a certain Divine King and does not belong to any side."

"Since the Shadow Temple cannot be traced, it gives face to superpowers by adhering to certain rules and not issuing overly excessive tasks. Therefore, both in the past and present, the existence of the Shadow Temple has been tacitly accepted and sometimes even utilized for certain purposes."

A power established by a leisurely Divine King? Zhao Xing mused over this speculation.

If it was founded by a Divine King, then as long as that Divine King cannot be killed, the Shadow Temple cannot be completely eradicated.

In that case, is the Shadow Temple a neutral tool?

Zhao Xing remembered the descriptions about the Shadow Temple in Wei Tianchen’s legacy; he even possessed Wei Tianchen’s identity token in the Shadow Temple. The level was not low, leaving him wondering if he could inherit it.

...

The fifth official matter came from the Ancient Hill.

Since Venerable Hongshan had once guided Zhao Xing during the Emperor’s period and taught him spells, Zhao Xing could also be considered a member of the Ancient Hill.

The Empire and the Ancient Hill have always been close allies, and Zhao Xing can be said to have access to both sides.

Previously, in deference to the Primordial Realm, and coupled with Zhao Xing’s role as a Tongming Envoy on the Ancient Dao, the Ancient Hill, apart from helping Zhao Xing hold a Dharma Assembly and promoting the Stacked Realm Mountain theory, had not required Zhao Xing to do any official duties.

But now Zhao Xing also received a Dao Order from the Ancient Hill, which is to prepare for the Mountain Chief Dharma Assembly of the Desolate Third Epoch.

"The contest for the Mountain Chief was initially just going to have you observe." Venerable Lu Shan said, "But since you dealt with two Demigods of the Carlos Family, causing one death and one severe injury, it is believed you have the strength to contend for the Mountain Chief. Therefore, eighty percent of the Ministers of Agriculture of the Three Realms and Twelve Mountains think you should participate, so you were listed as one of the candidates."

"Do I have to go?"

"Yes."

Zhao Xing’s reputation was so high that he had no choice but to participate.

After all, Zhao Xing’s two famous magic theories, the Stacked Realm Mountain theory, had a great impact on the Ancient Hill.

If Zhao Xing were not a Demigod, that would be one thing, but since he has the strength, if he is not allowed to go, many people would criticize.

Even the winner would probably feel that their victory was not legitimate—Zhao Xing did not even participate, so the gold content of this Mountain Chief Dharma Assembly is too low!

Venerable Hongshan said, "Once you go, you cannot use the Marquis Transformation Method to compete; otherwise, our Ancient Hill would lose face, so your Marquis Transformation Method will definitely be banned. The Heavenly Time Technique and Self Method cannot be used either."

Zhao Xing was a bit troubled, "Going is not an issue, I’m just not sure if the timing conflicts, how long until it starts?"

Venerable Hongshan said, "The time for the Dharma Assembly is not yet set, so there’s no rush; you can even go a bit later."

Zhao Xing was somewhat surprised, "You can even go later? Surely this kind of Dharma Assembly wouldn’t be postponed because of me, right?"

Venerable Hongshan smiled, "You’re thinking too much, but the timing is indeed flexible. It’s either in the third Solar Year or the fourth Solar Year, and it won’t be held later than the fifth Solar Year at the latest."

One Solar Year equals 1,000 Boundary Star Years. Zhao Xing calculated and found that he had at most 5,000 years to prepare, which was fine.

"Do you have a long task?"

"Yes." Zhao Xing did not conceal it, "I need to investigate the Desolate Domain Evil God Altar’s task."

After leaving the White Bone Divine Domain, he needed to overcome tribulations, which wasn’t going to be easy. Moreover, with so many split souls growing together, there weren’t enough resources.

Demigod level resources are very precious to Zhao Xing, so this contribution point task must be done diligently, doing more and doing it well.

"Then manage it yourself; you just need to participate. No one says you must become the Mountain Chief." Venerable Hongshan and Venerable Lu Shan both hoped Zhao Xing would perform well in this Mountain Chief Dharma Assembly, but they did not expect Zhao Xing to defeat the many competitors to become the chief of the Twelve Mountains.

His competitors include not only new Demigods like Venerable Hongshan and Venerable Lu Shan but also some veteran Demigods, some of whom are powerful above the fourteenth level.

With competition limited to the Geographical Advantage Skill, for Zhao Xing to surpass others within three or four thousand years, it is a great difficulty.

"I will do my best." Zhao Xing nodded, feeling that Venerable Hongshan and Venerable Lu Shan saw his talent and had high hopes for him, so he earnestly agreed.

.....

Just as Zhao Xing was discussing official matters with Venerable Hongshan and Guluo River.

In the western territory of the Xuanling Star Domain, within the Black Sky Wilderness that borders the Sky Demon Country, Ten Thousand Demon Country, Cang Lei Ancient Country, Holy Wing Ancient Country, and Ancient Purple Mysterious Country.

"Buzz~"

Cloud Sky Dao crossed a pitch-black river, arriving at the side of a dilapidated ancient ship in the dark starry sky.

At that moment, the clone following behind Zhao Xing also discovered the location of Cloud Sky Dao, having reached the unknown area of the Black Sky Wilderness.
