Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

This... is preposterous!

Watching Zhao Sheng visibly regain his youth at an astonishing speed, the people of the Spirit Clan were profoundly shocked.

However, when a hazy gleam of water light emerged behind him, the people no longer doubted their eyes regarding Zhao Sheng's advancement to the Golden Core realm.

The Heavenly River King, a cultivator who specialized in the Water Element Path, was the most sensitive and profoundly affected by the changes in Zhao Sheng's aura.

Staring at the mysterious and inexplicable Golden Core Phenomenon, the Heavenly River King, looking utterly shocked, couldn't help but groan, "Spirit God above, what is this kid's background? Is he the illegitimate child of Heavenly Dao?"

"Ice King, you are the most concerned about this kid. Do you know his origins? Does he still have a Divinity Transformation True Monarch alive among his ancestors?" Stay connected with My Virtual Library Empire

"Damn, you ask me, who do I ask!"

Even the Ice King, who practiced the Eternal Ice Heart Skill and was almost like the Living Dead, had his composure disturbed by these successive changes, and he rarely cursed.

No sooner had the Ice King spoken than a muffled groan suddenly emanated from the crowd.

Instantly, the faces of the Ice King and the Heavenly River King changed again.

Wang Yingling covered her head with her right hand, groaning as her eyes suddenly flew open.

When she saw the Spirit Clan people around her, her eyes suddenly revealed an immense sense of loss.

The moment before, she had been ceaselessly imparting her insights to the Star God.

She never imagined that the next second, she would be inexplicably kicked out.

From start to finish, she couldn't understand what she had done to anger the Star God.

Seeing Wang Yingling's distraught appearance, a concerned Golden Core of the Spirit Clan immediately asked, "Ling'er, what's wrong?"

"Third Great-Uncle, Yingling is alright; I just can't quite wrap my head around it," Wang Yingling loosened her hand, composed herself, and shook her head.

"If you can't figure it out, then don't think about it for now. Just this one opportunity alone is enough to benefit you for a lifetime. You still have a long life ahead of you, plenty of time to contemplate it."

Wang Yingling knew that her Third Great-Uncle misunderstood her words, but she chose not to explain.

When Wang Yingling was kicked out of the Star God Consciousness, the other few Children of Destiny who had persisted until the end were also forcibly logged out simultaneously.

Needless to say, the culprit besides Zhao Sheng was no one else.

Of course, the summoneds in the core circle hadn't realized this yet.

However, someone had already spotted something suspicious.

The Star God Palace, acting as the "prison guard" for the Star God, necessarily had means to surveil the Star God.

Right now, in the Gathering Immortal Hall of Vast Cave Paradise.

In front of the Nascent Soul Ancestors, a Round Light Treasure Mirror with a diameter of twelve feet displayed the entire scenery within a hundred miles of Star God Island.

The images in the mirror were lifelike, capturing every detail so vividly that even the multiple barriers set up by various powers couldn't obstruct the scrutiny of the Round Light Treasure Mirror.

The Round Light Treasure Mirror, a heavy treasure of the Star God Palace, was seldom shown to others, and it had been used even less frequently in history to kill enemies.@@novelbin@@

However, every time the Round Light Treasure Mirror was used, it meant the fall of a formidable demon or even a Divinity Transformation True Monarch.

During each Star God Divine Sacrifice, the Star God Palace would deliberately show off the Round Light Mirror.

Partly, it was to monitor the Star God and other powers, and to prevent the Star God from losing control, partly it was also meant as a deterrent.

In front of the Round Light Mirror, Pan Xing and Ling Yue could barely hide their surprise, while Ling Xu and Ling Yuan were both shocked and puzzled.

Behind them, the Nascent Soul Ancestors from various top-tier Sect powers also wore grave expressions, apparently also sensing that something was amiss.

Over the past twenty thousand years, during the Star God Divine Sacrifice, there had been others like Zhao Sheng who had leaped the Golden Core threshold in one step, and even more, there had been exceptional geniuses who advanced to the Nascent Soul realm overnight.

There had also been multiple instances in history of summoneds suddenly dying, and investigations afterward had revealed they were killed by hidden enemies.

However, for over twenty thousand years, there had never been an instance of Heavenly Tribulation being completely obliterated or of only a few individuals left being simultaneously expelled by the Star God.

The coincidental occurrence of two such unprecedented events made the Nascent Soul Ancestors realize that a significant calamity must have transpired.

"Panxing Palace Master, something is not right! This elder suggests we immediately restart the Sealing Heaven and Locking Sea Array. Should the Star God go berserk again, I fear countless lives will be smothered," said a softly spoken elder with white hair and green eyes. This person was the Supreme Family Master of the Situ Family from Azure Dragon Island, at the Nascent Soul Middle Stage.

The incident he referred to happened two thousand years ago when, after the Star God awoke, it was misled by the persuasive words of a Spirit Clan prodigy, resulting in an enduring calamity known as the "Star Algae Disaster."

In just a few decades, the reproduction rate of various sea algae in the Shattered Star Sea rocketed by dozens of times, swarming the shallow waters like a tide and occupying them almost entirely. This not only caused billions of sea beasts to suffocate and die due to the lack of oxygen.

It also severed major transportation routes, causing the human trade transport scale to plummet by two-thirds, and over the decades, the number of mortals who starved to death was well over ten million.

The Spirit Clan prodigy responsible for the "Star Algae Disaster" was none other than the current Great Sacrificial Leader of the Spirit Clan, a Divinity Transformation True Monarch and the universally acknowledged "Saint Demon" known as Wang Xusheng.

Coincidentally, Wang Xusheng also originated from the Human Clan in his youth, being of mixed blood from the Spirit and Human Clans.

This individual's appearance and character were considered flawless, and his Talent was outstandingly rare through the ages.

When his true identity had not yet been exposed, he once was the most celebrated prodigy among the younger generation in the Shattered Star Sea, known as "Heavenly Immortal Human Transformation" and "Demi-God."

After being exposed, upon his return to Spiritual Abyss, he swiftly climbed to the Absolute Peak of this realm in less than seven hundred years, becoming one of the openly recognized Divinity Transformation True Monarchs.

Given the precedence, seeing another individual from the Spirit Clan who had not been expelled by the Star God caught everyone's attention.

What's more crucial was that this individual had suddenly advanced to the Golden Core stage.

This development could not help but bring to mind that terrifying yet perfect Saint Demon.

"Panxing Palace Master, don't hesitate any longer! Act quickly to put an end to this Star God Sacrifice," someone urged.

"Could it be the Spirit Clan playing tricks again?!"

"Let's wait and see. If the Star God is forcibly put to sleep, it's unknown when it will awaken again—perhaps not for hundreds of years," another suggested.

"Impossible! The Spirit Clan already used up their millennia of Qi Fortune by producing one Saint Demon; they shouldn't have such good fortune again," one argued.

"What if there is another Star Algae Disaster! Do you think just because it affects us in Shattered Star Sea and not those in the Five Continents and Three Seas, you can afford to watch with indifference?"

Hearing a Nascent Soul of Shattered Star Sea taunting them, the Lingyue Ancestor had to step forward, coldly retorting: "Humph, are you folks from the Human Clan planning to break the rules again? Can't stand losing, can you, Panxing, Lingyue?"

Upon hearing this, Lingyue Palace Master's phoenix brows furrowed, and suddenly a cold, round moon emerged behind her head, emitting layers of cold, dense, and mysterious light.

"Lingyue, old fellow, was it you who played tricks? If the Star God loses control again, don't blame me for uniting with other Fellow Daoists to suppress your clan," she countered.

"Humph, the Star God has always been 'cared for' by the Star God Divine Palace. Its loss of control has nothing to do with our clan.

Two thousand years ago, it was your despicable lot who intentionally pinned the blame of the Star Algae Disaster onto the Great Sacrificial Leader, making my clan suffer an unjust accusation for over two thousand years.

This vile strategy is something you practice so skilfully. Perhaps like the Blood God Sect and Shade Maiden Clan, the other Fellow Daoists have also been deliberately schemed against by your so-called Righteous Path," the Lingyue Ancestor rebuked fiercely, implicating other Demon Dao Nascent Soul Ancestors in the process.

"Heh, true justice is inherent in the common conscience! Moreover, 'a kind is suspicious of other kinds.' The tricky tactics of your Sea Demon Clan are well known to the Fellow Daoists here. The deceitful and venomous reputation of the Saint Demon was already widespread across the Tianzhu Realm a thousand years ago. What I say is not unfounded!" Lingyue coldly smiled, retorting.

The person Ling Xu Ancestor admired most in his life was the Great Sacrificial Leader, and upon hearing someone slander the Great Leader, he was about to angrily rebut.

However, just then, a sudden and unexpected change not only interrupted him but also caused the expressions of the Nascent Soul Ancestors to shift dramatically.

Suddenly a cry of alarm rang out: "That... that Spirit Clan youth is gone!"

Seeing the astonishing scene in the Round Light Treasure Mirror, the Nascent Soul Ancestors couldn't help but have their pupils constrict.

They witnessed in the Round Light Treasure Mirror that Zhao Sheng, under the watchful eyes of all, had suddenly vanished into thin air.

Vast Sect Supreme Elder, recognized as the fastest in the Tianzhu Realm and known as the "Sun Chasing God Monarch" Gu Fengge, visibly paled and exclaimed in shock, "Space-Time Teleportation! That's... Space-Time Teleportation! Could it be that a Returning Void Great Power has intervened?!"

"No, it was the Star God!"
