Chapter 1256: Chapter 336: Star Cluster Mystery, Terrifying Mutation

Time returns to the present, the entire era now seeking refuge within this parallel line of the Daoist Great Emperor Jiushui of the Divine Court.

This brand-new world line is a convergence of spiraling nebulae, divided into four great nebulae: Buddha Country, Divine Court, Demon Country, and Corpse Country.

Among them, Jiushui is the Emperor of the Divine Court, reborn and transformed back into a zombie, simultaneously ruling over the Divine Court and Corpse Country, occupying half of the world.

The original power layout was Buddha Country and Demon Country joining forces against the Emperor of the Divine Court.

Swish.

One by one, the Immortal Ships stopped and landed on the various nebulae, beginning to organize the people, preparing to ferry them into various nebula regions and settle them in different small worlds.

"Is the official history just gone like that?"

"Does this world really have no Immortal Realm, no Netherworld, none of that fifteen million years of rule?"

"Perhaps, as time passes, people will never remember the six Immortal Venerates of the Immortal Realm."

"Though it sounds absurd, the unofficial history has indeed become the official one! At least for now! We’ve lost the depth of our civilization!"

At this moment, people truly began to experience the immense power of the [River of Time] archiving and overlaying.

In prehistoric times, the repeated overlaying of countless parallel timelines in the high-dimensional River of Time buried the truth; now they were undergoing the same process.

In the future, who would remember the original timeline?

Ning Zheng looked at the Embers of the Jiushui Divine Court Emperor, "Thank you for settling these people."

"No need, these people are also population resources, which is a great thing for us," this Divine Court Emperor said with a smile, "We mutually benefit, and we have family ties, coming together to fight against enemies."

"And with the current situation, after a bit of rest, the painter might draw a new timeline, and your people can migrate again."

Ning Zheng nodded, Jiushui was still so easy-going, warm and gentle like a spring breeze, though preferring to ambush from a coffin, taking down enemies in a single move.

However, upon further reflection, Jiushui sighed:

"In a million years or so, people will only believe that the Immortal Realm and Netherworld, which lasted for over fifteen million years, are non-existent unofficial histories. Here is the only Heaven and Earth."

"Why bother with it?" Ning Zheng laughed, "From certain perspectives, the significance of history is meaningless."

"Because people always say to take history as a mirror, but, in reality, the only lesson history has taught us is that people never learn from history."

Ning Zheng’s words made Jiushui laugh, "Quite right, quite right indeed, history lies beneath our feet, history lies ahead, and the [past] should be completely erased!"

The two spoke with a deeper meaning.

Jiushui and Ning Zheng chatted for a while longer before turning to leave.

After seeing them off, nearby Jiucai Rong quipped, "This is quite good! The history of the Immortal Nether is gone, our Daoist civilization is the rightful lineage of the world, this unofficial history... is great! A real hit!"

"For example, Lamp Buddha, with five hundred Arhats hanging under the street lamp, eight hundred Bhikkhunis, three thousand Jiedi... It seems gold will always shine, and my parallel world’s Lu Dengrong is quite a talent!"

Ning Zheng, too tired to comment, waved his hand, "We of Xirong Manor will probably find a place to settle down, so go get busy."

"Yes!" Jiucai Rong really was busy.

This Divine Court era is still managed by Jiushui and others.

Xirong Manor never thought about seizing power, continuing as a neutral forging force, taking orders for various strong weapons of this era.

Even Ning Zheng thought.

See if they could talk to the painter later about drawing an independent timeline for Xirong Manor to live in? After all, they are partners, sharing a common stance against the [past].

Those of the [past] just wished they’d all die, so cooperation among all sides was natural, especially since they originally came from the same hometown.

Nevertheless, they first temporarily settled down.

Ning Zheng’s gaze fell on the attribute interface.

[Name: Ning Zheng]

[Race: Ghost King, Tribulation]

[Spiritual Root: Seven Colors (Human God Flower, Shadow Crocodile Grass, All Saints Form...)]

[Current Total Qi Fortune Value: 0.95 trillion]

[Daily Qi Fortune Income: 81 trillion (Immortal Realm, Celestial Destiny World, Nine-State World... All Heavens and Myriad Realms)]

[Daily Fixed Qi Fortune Value: 24.24 trillion (240 billion Qi Fortune Value [Four Great Jiumu Qing Beast-Controlling Immortal Venerate’s Blessing] + 12 trillion Tribulation Fortune Value + 12 trillion Luck Value), note: with no constants in destiny, the daily initial Qi Fortune Value is 0, with daily Qi Fortune consumption boosts available.]

...

Clearly, this battle has exhausted resources.

The pockets are empty now.

Fortunately, Xirong made a significant impact, becoming saviors, and more people began to fervently believe in Xirong, with the +2 daily income surging.

But in terms of combat power, they’re somewhat lacking.

Ultimately, besides the big spender Golden God, the first conventional combat power on the surface—the Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate—was taken away by Xin Xichen, that Old Deng.

Taking everything without principles.

But this is just complaining.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Immortal Venerate had already stepped into the Half Celestial Phenomenon, no turning back, nearly dying at the time, forcefully choosing the Transformation Path.

Thanks to Xin Xichen taking him to prehistoric times, incorporating him into his dominion, he survived as the Oath Immortal Venerate’s mount.

"No money in the pockets!"

Ning Zheng complained a bit and began silently feeling his body, consolidating his foundation.

Soon, three days went by, and three hundred years had passed in the world’s flow rate. The outside world had also begun to stabilize, and the citizens started to adapt to life.

Ning Zheng opened his eyes again and had already reached the Ninth Layer of True Immortal.

He constantly attained enlightenment in that battle, gaining greatly, with significant improvement in constructing the Law Domain from Enlightenment. The previously empty foundation was thoroughly filled, and his knowledge accumulation even far surpassed that of an average Extreme Path Immortal Venerable!

One could say he was no longer a fake, but the real deal.

At this time, he fiercely advanced his Realm.

Moreover, the Tenth Layer Great Perfection of True Immortal was not far; with a little patience, he could break through!

Regarding his manor’s combat guard team, Su Yuniang, although she hadn’t stepped into that Realm like Ten Thousand Beasts and Xin Xichen,

under the circumstances, she had reached the Seventh Layer of True Immortal.

She barely qualified as the main combat power of the manor, barely passing as a patrol team, responsible for maintaining daily security.

Yet Su Yuniang had just upgraded her combat power version.

Next door, the veteran True Immortal Great Perfection cultivators, Mo Mei and True Man Danding, who had been stuck for hundreds of thousands of years, didn’t break through in the previous instance but were now showing signs of success.

The two had gone into seclusion.

Ning Zheng was prepared to appropriately assist and provide support to them.

Believing it wouldn’t be long before they broke through and that Xi Rong would produce two ordinary combat power Immortal Venerates, they could be considered his trustworthy tributions!

These two had been with him in Xi Rong for quite some time, being honest and grateful, much better than the deceitful Neutral Immortal Venerates next door.

Even though, in terms of potential, they couldn’t compare to those three Neutral Immortal Venerates, after all, if they revived and led a second life, becoming young and passionate, they would also be top figures among the six great Immortal Venerates of the Immortal Realm!

Comparable to Holy Spirit, Ten Thousand Beasts, and Jiumu Qing, they could not be underestimated.

"In the end, the upper limit of the era has increased, and there are quite a few True Immortals breaking through."

But Ning Zheng thought again.

The upper limit of the Realm increased by a level, and they all broke through a level, everyone improved, so it didn’t really improve.

The ordinary Immortal Venerates and Extreme Path Immortal Venerates of this era were comparable to the previous True Immortal Perfection and Immortal Venerates.

Ning Zheng retracted his gaze, stretched lazily, feeling a lot more relaxed, suddenly recalling the enigmatic words of Immortal Venerable Changzhen and the face he revealed in the end...

"Before being memory-modified, that Immortal Venerable Changzhen... was actually me, Ning Zheng."

Ning Zheng was somewhat puzzled, having only a vague guess.

"Was he just recently captured, or was it because I caused his capture..."

"If it weren’t for me, Ning Zheng, making a fuss in the future, causing the Immortal Venerates to conduct a sweep and capture Immortal Venerable Changzhen hiding in the era, he would probably still be huddled somewhere."

Ning Zheng had no regrets about attacking Immortal Venerable Changzhen.

Just like before, when he saw Jiumu Qing killing each other, he thought:

If I also split multidimensionally like Jiumu Qing, I would do the same, killing off each one’s multidimensional fall!

The fact from Jiumu Qing proved that the one who most wants to kill you is actually yourself.

Ning Zheng wasn’t a good person either; he chose to be like Jiumu Qing.

The rules of the world are different.

[Prehistoric] High-dimensional True Immortals, countless dimensions were the same person.

Yet once in the [Future], various parallel world selves would become independent, turning into separate lives, even killing themselves. At that time, numerous Changzhen, Duanzhen, Dingzhen, and Dingzhen existed...

At this time, Ning Zheng continued to deduce backward.

"Regardless of the process, the answer is definite."

"I, like Jiumu Qing, am multidimensionally fallen from the prehistoric River of Time, passing through the river into the [Future], splitting into countless selves."

"I am now independent, and if I meet another me, I will act like Jiumu Qing, eliminating him, like eliminating Immortal Venerable Changzhen."

"It’s just that only part of me has fallen in the River of Time; the majority is still prehistoric, caught by the Immortal Venerates, turned into Immortal Venerable Changzhen? Taken as a dog?"

The exact truth is unknown, but doing so is at least not wrong.

In his leisure, Ning Zheng no longer pondered, such secrets can only be unraveled in prehistoric times, speculation is meaningless.

He was quite open-minded, opened the forum, and prepared to relax his mind.

Suddenly, he saw on the forum that a group of blacksmith higher-ups posted a secret post, discussing the unofficial history of this parallel world.

Night Mad Cultivator: "Hahaha, this world is really wild!"

Jiucai Rong: "Hahaha, I’m wild too! I don’t know why, I fooled Xin Xichen, turned into the Treasure Lotus Lamp, hahahaha, suspended Lamp Buddha, dangling a group of Buddha disciples under the street lamp."

Su Yuniang: "Hahaha, in my parallel world, still the Sun Moon weapon of Jiu Shui, the painter of this artist is really sensible, knowing how to arrange a suitable position for me!"

Sword Fairy: "Brothers, I discovered something."

Jiucai Rong: "Hahaha, what is it?"

Sword Fairy: "Haven’t you noticed that this Four Extremes Nebula somewhat resembles the starry sky of our Blue Star?"

Su Yuniang: "Awesome! The blacksmith Ember who automated the unofficial history for fifteen hundred years is really up to something, making this nebula look like the sky of Blue Star, isn’t it designed to be the sky of the Galaxy? Galaxy hanging high?"

Sword Fairy: "But, but... just before logging off, I had the Twenty-Eight Star Officials of the Divine Court quietly change a small star point position in a nebula, and when I looked at the sky with a telescope in real life, I noticed that the sky in reality also changed."

With these words, all the blacksmiths were dumbfounded, their minds suddenly exploding.
