Chapter 2202: Chapter 10: The Desolate Third Epoch Arrives!_6

It’s somewhat similar to the sacrificial effects of the Rain Immortal Festival in the Spirit Void Origin Realm.

Second, time travel!

It is a great divine artifact, but the owner who made this vestment robe also left a mark of divine power on it.

With this robe, it can lead its owner to travel back in time to this Great Grain Rain season. However, there is only one chance.

It’s a one-way ticket, and after using this opportunity, the robe will disappear.

Space-Time Valley Rain, with the vestment robe shuttling through, can not only provide insight but also resist the impact of the space-time secret technique, naturally offering resistance to the chaos of space-time currents.

Being able to perform a time travel once is simply too much to Zhao Xing’s taste.

He made no attempt to hide his liking.

"Venerable Jian Yan, Venerable Yu Ye, I really like this vestment robe," Zhao Xing praised.

Venerable Jian Yan gave a sweet smile: "Since that’s the case, how does Minister of Agriculture Zhao think it should be exchanged?"

Zhao Xing pondered: "Two for one, how about that?"

Jian Yan and Venerable Yu Ye exchanged a glance and then nodded: "Alright."

Yu Ye even gave a special compliment: "Minister of Agriculture Zhao, you are very decisive, I hope the two of us can become friends with you."

Evidently, Jian Yan and Yu Ye thought they were making a good deal.

Zhao Xing also thought the same, as the divine objects of a specific profession have values that can’t be clearly defined, depending on the needs of both buyer and seller.

If you truly like it, it’s not impossible to exchange one for one, but since the Space-Time Valley Rain robe involves the origin of the Time-Space Dao, particularly during such a unique period, its value is naturally higher.

An exchange of one for one? Jian Yan and Venerable Yu Ye would probably not agree to that.

If it were merely a business transaction, it would be unclear what the terms are.

To keep things straightforward, exchanging two for one saves the hassle of lengthy bargaining and helps to make a friend in the process.

Seeing both parties reach a transaction, Venerable Fu Ping, as the middleman, also smiled: "Both of you have great perspectives, which makes me envious. How I wish I could also have such perspectives."

Venerable Fu Ping also had divine objects, but he only had two Power Divine Objects, a great divine artifact? Not to mention his profession, but even other types, he didn’t have.

Zhao Xing took out nine at once, which indeed shocked him.

What does it mean to be wealthy?

With such assets, Zhao Xing is indeed considered affluent among demigods.

Of course, for Yu Ye and Jian Yan to produce a time-specific divine object, they were quite well-off, too.

"Earning with two people is always faster than one," Venerable Jian Yan teased after the transaction, "Brother Fu Ping, you should also find a Daoist companion."

"I would like that too, but I haven’t found anyone suitable yet," Venerable Fu Ping laughed.

The circle of demigods is neither small nor big, finding a Daoist companion means sharing all secrets, life and death together. The longer you live, the harder it is to be moved.

Just for personal desires and enjoyment, can’t one create oneself all sorts of mechanical puppets?

"I wish I had a biological sister," Venerable Jian Yan laughed.

"If you did, you’d introduce her to me, wouldn’t you?" Venerable Fu Ping asked.

"Of course, I’d introduce her to Brother Zhao. He’s much wealthier than you," Venerable Jian Yan teased.

Zhao Xing burst into a smile.

"Yu Ye, you should control her, she’s poking at my Dao heart," Venerable Fu Ping playfully placed a hand on his chest, pointing at Jian Yan, "Without a hundred or eighty thousand contributions, I won’t recover."

"Fu Ping, do you think I can control her?" Venerable Yu Ye said helplessly, "Compensation is even more impossible, everything’s in Jian Yan’s hands."

"What a sin," Venerable Fu Ping hammered at the table.

"Hahahaha."

...

In the subsequent period, Zhao Xing did not find another suitable exchange opportunity.

The remaining seven divine objects remained in his possession.

As the Desolate Third Epoch approached, Zhao Xing’s contribution task also entered a brief suspension.

He no longer left the Spiritual Energy Star Domain, nor did any of his avatars leave the Empire.

He was just completing two extremely difficult tasks left by the Infinite True God.

Nurturing the Historical Book Worm and Ten Thousand Generations Flower God Seed.

Zhao Xing obtained some ancient demon historical records and ancient country records from Academy City Elder Feng Chen, used to feed the Historical Book Worm.

Meanwhile, he also began cultivating the Spiritual Will Technique "Great Dark Sky" that Feng Chen had once taught him.

Now unlike before, this Half-God Will Secret Technique no longer affected his mind, birthing an evil split soul.

In the last Boundary Star Year of the Desolate Second Epoch.

Zhao Xing ceased his cultivation.

"The three realms of Great Dark Sky."

"Great Dark Sky, One Thought Asura, Immovable Ming Venerable."

"I have reached the highest realm, [Immovable Ming Venerable]."

"The split soul division of Taichu Grassman has reached 200 over the years. Except for the Traveling Study Avatar’s whereabouts unknown, and a missing avatar from the Ancient Hill."

"Currently, I am 198 times the Twelve Tribulation True Spirit."

"With the Thirteenth Rank Qiankun Mixed Yuan Saint Body, possessing the skills and techniques of the Heavenly Time, Earthly Advantage, and Self Three Schools."

"Thirty-first Rank’s Qi Fortune."

"Possessing twenty-one divine artifacts. Among them, the Heavenly Change Divine Needle, Green Water Golden God Gourd, Yuan Wheel, White Jade Five Tombs Ship, Space-Time Valley Rain Robe, Hun Yuan Dao Tower, all of which I can use."

Zhao Xing stood atop Jia Chen Pass at the Desperate Great Wall, gazing out at the cosmic starry sky.

He had thoroughly prepared to welcome the arrival of the Desolate Third Epoch.

He and Ji Si had temporarily secured the important figures of Great Zhou into the Eight-direction Divine Mirror, leaving only insignificant mana avatars to maintain daily operations.

At this time, the seven ancient roads of Jia Chen Pass had been put on alert, and the imperial divine artifact, a combination of army divine skill and team-type, [Desperate Great Wall], had also been activated.

Making the already massive Jia Chen Pass even more majestic.

"Ji Si, is everything arranged?" A second figure appeared on the solitary city wall, it was Ji Si.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, I’ve checked multiple times, and everything has been arranged according to plan."

"Do you sense anything?" Zhao Xing asked.

Ji Si shook her head.

Inside and outside of the pass were calm, yet neither of them relaxed their vigilance.

Ji Si did not hide in the Heavenly Master Mansion, nor did Zhao Xing retreat to the Primordial Realm.

At such a critical moment, neither of them hid away; they needed to stand up, actively protecting the people of Great Zhou.

"An unseen enemy, not knowing when the war will happen, this is perhaps the most difficult battle I’ve fought," Ji Si sighed. "Grand Minister, do you think this era can win?"

"Efforts lie in humans; mankind will triumph over divinity."

Ji Si nodded, seeming to gain confidence.

Then they stood silently side by side, waiting quietly for the passing of the final day.

"Dong~~"

At a certain moment, in Jia Chen Pass, the clock on Crystal Island sounded.

Era Needle, Sun Needle, World Star Needle all aligned.

The clock in Zhao Xing’s heart also crossed the fourth quarter at midnight.

The inside and outside of the pass remained calm, only the sound of the clock echoed.

"Grand Minister, is all well?"

"Ji Si, I’m fine, are you all right?"

Zhao Xing and Ji Si exchanged greetings.

"I’m fine too." Ji Si breathed a sigh of relief, "Looks like it’s not now."

But at this moment, Zhao Xing’s gaze suddenly became sharp.

The Qi Sea within him churned.

The reflection of the Extreme Star within the sea began to rotate.

"Buzz~"

In this instant, Zhao Xing’s Great Sun Qi Sea roiled, the previously fixed Extreme Star Reflection started to spin, seemingly resonating with countless Sun Stars.

Zhao Xing could distinctly feel the rotation of the solar stars, greatly expanding the range of his perception, many times larger than usual.

In the next moment, Zhao Xing turned his head to look towards the southern part of the Xuanling Star Domain.

"Buzz~"

In the southern part of the Xuanling Star Domain, the top nine Sun Stars suddenly dimmed and, in a very short time, completely extinguished.

Chill filled Zhao Xing’s eyes, for before the top nine Sun Stars were extinguished, he witnessed an unforgettable scene.

It was as if tens of thousands of star regions in the Panhai Territory suddenly froze, with all the Star Land, Boundary Stars appearing to be encased in ice.

Whether material oceans or chaotic void streams, they were quickly solidifying, ice layers spreading like a line of death, advancing toward the Xuanling Star Domain.

"No, Ji Si, it’s happening," Zhao Xing said.
