Cultivating for a hundred lifetimes to ascension

```

And the Xi Yi Bell is a major spiritual treasure of the Spirit Clan, previously controlled by the Ling Kong Ancestor. It also fell into the hands of the Star God Palace three hundred years ago.

After exchanging a glance, Ling Yuan and Ling Xu nodded gravely at the two Palace Masters.

"We'll raise the bet by twenty strands of Outer Heaven Mysterious Essence over one inch each and five strands of Magic Trace Mystic Essence. Do you two dare to take it?"

"Why wouldn't we dare? Our palace will take it all at once. Additionally, our palace will add a piece of Geng Metal Meteorite weighing ten thousand juns."

"Geng Metal? Fine, I'll add a pot of Moonlight Liquid."

"Deal! This time, our Star God Palace has three Children of Destiny. What about you?"

Ling Yuan Ancestor held up two fingers, boasting with a slight sense of pride, "Hehe! There are two youngsters in our clan who have been chosen by the Star God."

Palace Masters Pan Xing and Ling Yue swiftly exchanged a look, cursing inwardly that the Spirit Clan had stumbled upon blind luck this time.

Pan Xing collected his spirit, fixing his 'old friend' with a direct gaze, and coldly said, "Same rules as always, whichever side's last member wakes up, that side wins. Do you have any objections?"

"Agreed!"

...

Within the Star God Illusion Realm, Zhao Sheng had no idea that he had become a tool for gambling between two major forces, the Spirit Clan and the Human Clan.

Zhao Sheng pondered thoughtfully for a long time, but as for the questions posed by the Star God, he was completely at a loss to answer any of them.

Despite his ability to produce many kinds of "answers," each articulated as if it were a heavenly revelation with impeccable logic,

Zhao Sheng knew very well that in the presence of a being whose innate status could be compared to that of an immortal, he had to be extremely careful with every word and deed, and falsehoods were absolutely unacceptable.

After much thought, Zhao Sheng slowly shook his head, gazing earnestly at the Star God, and said solemnly, "Your Highness, these questions are far too profound, I truly do not know the answers. However, I can share with Your Highness my analyses, understanding, and insights about them. Would Your Highness be willing to listen?"

"Go ahead and speak!" the Star God immediately nodded in agreement.

"Alright!"

Zhao Sheng took a deep breath and began to speak loudly:

"In the beginning, the universe was in chaos, the abyss was dark, and the deity said, 'Let there be light—'

Uh, wrong scene.

Let's start over!

"In the beginning, the heaven and earth were in chaos, rounded like an egg. The Tao was born within it. In a flash, billions of years passed, and heaven and earth were divided. Pure Yang became the heavens, and turbid Yin became the earth..."

As he faced the Star God, Zhao Sheng talked on and on.

For some reason, as soon as he began to speak, brilliant ideas sprang to mind.

The more Zhao Sheng spoke, the more his ideas surged forth like a fountain, and his understanding of the Tao deepened remarkably as though some extra help had been activated.

Days passed, and stars shifted.

Zhao Sheng seemed to be unaware of the passage of time, continuously expounding on his insights.

What he did not know at this time was,

In the other over a hundred Star God Worlds, other Children of Destiny, whether spirited, ecstatic, or obsessively engrossed, were "preaching" to the Star Gods.

However, the Star Gods they saw were nothing but enormous Light Balls, not taking human form as had occurred with Zhao Sheng.

As time went on, the inspirations of the Children of Destiny were 'squeezed dry and consumed,' and they eventually had to exit the Star God World.

When world after world faded away, leaving only thirteen remaining, Zhao Sheng's inspiration finally ran dry, and he had no choice but to stop.

It was only after this that he realized something was amiss. The explosive bout of inspiration he had just experienced was incredibly bizarre.

There had to be something fishy about it.

Without much reflection, it was clear that the Star God had been manipulating things from behind the scenes.

Nevertheless, that session of Enlightenment was truly too precious.

Upon reflection, Zhao Sheng found that his understanding of the Tao had improved leaps and bounds.

At this moment, the Star God squatted down, patted the waters, and called out seriously, "Zhao Sheng, why have you stopped speaking?"

"Your Highness, I've run empty here," Zhao Sheng responded, pointing to his head with a wry smile.

"Alright then! Since you've finished speaking, now it's time for the Divine to reciprocate."

As these words were spoken, the Star God slowly transformed into an immense bright white Light Ball. Within it, billions of electric lights zigzagged, their intensity ebbing and flowing unpredictably.

"Zhao Sheng, would you like to see what the world looks like through the Divine's Eye?"

After this sentence was slowly uttered, the Great Sun in the sky began to vanish bit by bit. Light faded, the world started to shrink inwards, its edges blurring, and the sea water also transformed into layers of flowing, twinkling, multicolored radiance.

Zhao Sheng watched the world fade away and also noticed his hands and body slowly fading into obscurity, beginning to disappear bit by bit.

```

Seeing this scene, he calmed his spirit and resolutely nodded, "I am willing!"

"Good, just be careful while communicating with the Heavenly Dao, don't get assimilated by it!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the world abruptly turned into chaos, and Zhao Sheng's Divine Soul was suddenly hooked by a force beyond imagination. In an instant, he was pulled into a "world" bizarre and indescribable in words.

This "world" was all light, with endless threads beyond the radiance.

The threads were of extreme variegated colors, not only including the nine colors of red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet, black, and white, but also countless "colors" beyond human imagination.

Zhao Sheng didn't recognize nor understand these "colors," as if they existed in a chaos beyond his cognition.

And in his eyes, the threads didn't possess concepts of length, width, or diameter.

Sometimes they would stretch out boundlessly, at other times they would coil into a point, sometimes intertwining and winding, weaving and piling into endless knots and three-dimensional structures.

Zhao Sheng just wanted to take another look, but in the next moment.

He suddenly fell from the obscure depths, returning to the Shattered Star Sea.

The sun was shining brightly, the sky was cloudless,

In the boundless sea, islands were scattered like stars, and myriad life bred in the sea and formed an extremely complex food web,

At the very bottom of this food web, countless algae instinctively reproduced and divided, experiencing endless life and death.

At this time, he (it) had become a creature so immense it was beyond imagination.

In a split second, it divided into countless consciousnesses, each occupying a region of the sea, each with its own personality and cognition.

The largest consciousness radiated tens of thousands of miles, considered the strongest among them.

However, regardless of their size, the Innate status of each consciousness was equal; there was no hierarchy or gender differentiation.

Yet Zhao Sheng did not find this surprising, as if the existence of thousands of consciousnesses was perfectly normal, as if it were righteous.

In the face of massive amounts of information transmitted simultaneously by thousands of consciousnesses, he received and processed it effortlessly and provided timely feedback.

Suddenly,

a great sense of crisis welled up in him, as if he was facing a threat to his life. A voice instantly emerged from deep within his consciousness and quickly grew louder and stronger!

"Danger! Absolute Rationality!"

The moment this voice sounded, it echoed like a great bell, repeatedly resounding in the depths of his consciousness.

In an instant, thousands of consciousnesses paused at the same time, then the human form of "Zhao Sheng" appeared from within the largest Light Ball.

"Indeed danger, I was almost assimilated!"

Despite nearly perishing, Zhao Sheng's face was expressionless, his eyes utterly indifferent.

At this point, he had already invoked Absolute Rationality. Before his Divine Soul was exhausted, his consciousness maintained absolute independence.

"What is the world seen by the Divine Eye? Let me experience it myself!"

No sooner had he spoken than he fiercely plucked at the strings of his heart, and the world before his eyes came to a halt.

No,

It was the flow of time that had slowed down countless times, as if Zhao Sheng had suddenly activated Bullet Time.

But he knew he hadn't activated his Talent.

The ability to do so was purely the Star God's innate instinct.

From the perspective of a Star God, time was an elastic concept.

If the normal world in human eyes was seen as a movie screen,

Then in the eyes of a Star God, it could be watched frame by frame, and at the same time, it could be sped up countless times.

Extreme speed and extreme slowness coexisted in the Star God's consciousness, without contradiction.

This was a miracle unimaginable to humans, but all too normal in the eyes of a Star God.

With a thought, Zhao Sheng once again plucked the strings of his heart.

In that instant, time sped up countless times.

Day rose and moon set, stars shifted, the Star Algae from birth to death, all completed in a single thought.

This novel experience was something Zhao Sheng had never had before.

For a while, he continuously plucked the strings of time, as if toying with the axis of time.

The world's pace fluctuated, blurring time itself!
