Chapter 903: Chapter 517: Five Hundred Years of Change–Things Remain, but People Are Gone

“Qiong Tian, what’s wrong?” Zhao Xuanjing noticed Zhao Sheng’s unusual expression and couldn’t help but ask with concern.

Zhao Sheng shook his head: “It’s nothing, maybe I’ve been traveling in the Void Sea for too long, and the sense of time is a bit blurred.”

“I see, it seems that the space-time storm back then caused you to unexpectedly drift into the Outer Void Sea. Fortunately, it wasn’t too far from this realm, otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable!” Zhao Xuanjing breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.

Zhao Sheng nodded in agreement: “I also feel there must be ancestral protection, that’s why I narrowly escaped death!”

He deliberately avoided mentioning the encounter with the Life Demon, because such an existence comparable to the Daluo Golden Immortal sometimes brings great trouble to those who merely know its name!

Zhao Sheng, out of prudence, naturally did not mention this matter.

Additionally, from the number five hundred years, he was suddenly reminded of an even more horrifying “truth.”

Life Demon*True likely possesses supreme great divine skills of freely traveling between the present and the future.

This possibility is very high!

As far as he knows, the Supreme Dao Ancestor unifies the past, present, and future into one, having already transcended the Time-Space River, able to travel freely between the past, present, and future.

And the Daluo Golden Immortal is second only to the Supreme Dao Ancestor; they may not be able to return to past times, but there is a high probability that they have the ability to freely anchor time nodes downstream of the Time-Space River.

This also indirectly proved why, just as he returned to Tianzhu Realm, he “very coincidentally” encountered the Blood God’s Son attacking the Ascension Platform.

Perhaps this time node is very special and sensitive.

If he had not appeared in time, what kind of changes would occur in the future? Zhao Sheng speculated… the Blood God’s Son’s plot might have succeeded!

With this deduction, even the fate of Zhao Xuanjing and all beings in Tianzhu Realm might have been altered by him at this time node!

Once the trajectory of fate changes, it will inevitably cause immeasurable “variables” downstream of the Time-Space River.

Recalling the “little gift” mentioned by the Life Demon, Zhao Sheng couldn’t help but shudder.

He thought that despite all his defenses, he eventually could not escape the Life Demon’s “schemes.”

According to the transaction rules of the Life Demon clan, he inevitably owes a massive “karmic debt” this time,

In the future, when the Life Demon comes to claim it, Zhao Sheng can hardly imagine what enormous price he will have to pay!

Thinking of this, Zhao Sheng suddenly interrupted Zhao Xuanjing, pretending to be curious and asked: “Ancestor, why is the Blood God’s Son so rampant, daring to trespass upon the Ascension Platform this time. What unspeakable purpose does this serve?”

Zhao Xuanjing’s face became solemn upon hearing these words: “Your return was timely. If you hadn’t scared it off, the Ascension Tower might not have been preserved this time!”

Zhao Sheng was somewhat confused: “Ascension Tower? You mean the Blood God’s Son has been here many times, and its goal is to destroy the Ascension Tower! Why is that?!”

Zhao Xuanjing showed a look of emotion: “You just returned from beyond, completely unaware that too many, many changes have occurred in the past seven hundred plus years! I’ll slowly explain everything to you later. For now, it’s best you first rest and recuperate, and talk about other things only after you are fully recovered.”

Upon hearing this, an overwhelming feeling of exhaustion suddenly flooded Zhao Sheng’s heart, the heavy psychological pressure accumulated over three hundred years of tireless journeys suddenly erupted.

“Ancestor, I will go to rest now, pardon my departure.” Zhao Sheng bowed to Zhao Xuanjing, then turned and flew to the west side of the square, found a jade plate, sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

This sleep lasted for three days and three nights!

On the morning of the fourth day,

When the first ray of sunshine touched his eyelids, Zhao Sheng’s eyelashes twitched, and he suddenly awoke from the deepest dream.

He slowly opened his eyes, looking at the Great Sun just peeking over the horizon’s edge, stretched lazily, and the sound of cracking joints burst out from all over his body, resembling the popping of firecrackers, as a gentle, watery sheen appeared on his skin.

“Awake? Good, quickly come over and join the old man for a hearty drink.”

Zhao Sheng looked over at the sound, seeing Zhao Xuanjing’s large figure seated on the ground, leaning against the Ascension Tower, happily waving to him.

Before him on the ground, there were two jars as tall as a person, with crystal clear exteriors, filled inside with thick wine the color of molten lava.

Zhao Sheng smiled slightly at this sight, and without changing his sitting posture, he rose into the air, crossing dozens of meters to land beside Zhao Xuanjing.

“The ancestor has such elegant interests, this grandchild is sure to accompany you! But ordinary spiritual wine won’t suit my taste.”

“Hehe, you have quite a picky taste. But that’s not a problem for the old man. Look at these two jars of Fire Dragon Wine here, chilled for a thousand years in Ten Thousand Years Cold Ice. Now that it has lost its last hint of fiery poison, it’s just right for our Divinity Transformations to enjoy. You should know these are the only two jars in the world, and they’re right here for us, grandfather and grandson, one jar each!”

Zhao Xuanjing said while removing the seal from the wine jar and casually pushed one jar in front of Zhao Sheng, then eagerly opened his mouth and inhaled, a red stream shot from the jar into his mouth.

As the wine entered his throat, a flush of red appeared on Zhao Xuanjing’s face, followed by an expression of ecstasy.

At this moment, the intense aroma of the wine spilled from the jar, quickly condensing into a large Fire Cloud in the air, where several red Dragon Shadows swirled and roamed in the depths of the Cloud Mist, emitting waves of strange, intoxicating fragrance.

Seeing this, Zhao Sheng also opened his mouth and inhaled, as a Dragon Shadow wrapped in thick wine followed suit into his mouth.
