"The Ten Thousand Immortals Formation has rushed to the Fufeng Protectorate," confirmed the signs of the western army's invasion, and has already slain several high-ranking professionals..."

Zhong Shenxiu held the frontline combat report in his hand and slightly nodded.

At this time, he had long left Changluo, but likewise, he did not head to the frontline battlefield.

Instead, he arrived at the boundless East Sea.

What entered his eyes was the endless azure sea, spanning for miles with no sign of human life.

One could say it was an excellent place for experiments.

Zhong Shenxiu pondered for a moment, and a key made of light appeared in his hand.

Endless streams of data surfaced, gradually condensing into a silhouette— it was the slain standard-bearer from the west, the eighth-ranked one, the Archbishop of the Church of Destiny—Bai Eslun!

His expression was extremely bewildered, then he saw Zhong Shenxiu, "Your Excellency... I..."

"You have already died, but I have resurrected you."

Zhong Shenxiu spoke indifferently; after all, it was he who killed the man. After deleting the data, it could still be restored from the recycle bin.

If someone else had done the killing, it wouldn't be found in the recycle bin, and then he wouldn't be able to resurrect him now.

Bai Eslun's pupils constricted but in the next instant, he confirmed that he truly was himself from before, not a clone or an illusion.

Even his destiny was continued.

This was equivalent to a perfect resurrection, plunging him into profound shock, "Your Excellency... you're definitely not an ordinary Pseudo-God!"

He even felt that this young Cultivator, beneath the skin, must be the incarnation of some great existence!

Otherwise, he could never possess such terrifying power.

To a great existence, even in death, they would vanish amidst the mysterious!

"I need your help with something."

Zhong Shenxiu suddenly smiled.

He knew that perhaps this "destiny disturber" couldn't see the signs of his own death, but what about true 'destiny'?

The lord worshiped by the Church of Destiny ought to be able to see clearly.

And he had a fairly good relationship with Time's Ouroboros.

When it was time for him to ascend to True God, he would contact the other party, at the very least to get some information or even support.

Furthermore, upon deeper thought, it was no mere coincidence that this Archbishop arrived now rather than at any other time; could it not be the arrangement of fate?

Apart from the destiny he worshiped itself, what other being could silently influence the destiny of a lord of destiny?

"What help?"

Bai Eslun had a somewhat bad premonition.

"Pray to your deity!"

Zhong Shenxiu said, "I wish to meet Time's Ouroboros."

Bai Eslun's expression remained unchanged, as if he had seen a new guiding destiny.

He did not refuse, nodded, and began to kneel in mid-air, praying:

"Oh, great Lord of Calamity!"

"You are the circle of time, the Dao Mark of destiny!"

"You are the embodiment of original sin, the controller of the Fall!"

...

The first few titles were one thing, but the latter ones like the Fall and so on, Zhong Shenxiu felt were content added after the tail-eating snake had digested Da Mo's unique divinity.

At this moment, Zhong Shenxiu had already sensed the changes in the surrounding environment.

Bai Eslun stood up across from him, his eyes flashing with an illusion, like a ring formed by a tail-eating snake, and his body was also marked with lines resembling the flow of time.

The Church of Destiny's worshipped Lord, Time's Ouroboros, had descended, using the Archbishop as a vessel!

"Believers of deities really have it rough, even if they are comparable to a Dharma Body, the other party can snatch their body with just a thought..." Zhong Shenxiu muttered in his heart, looking towards Bai Eslun.

Although the person was still the same, the inner essence had completely changed.

His demeanor underwent a mysterious change: vast, boundless, magnificent, fallen... There seemed to be laughter in his eyes now, "First meeting, or should I say... meeting again! Mr. Zhong!"

"I have seen the revered Time's Sovereign, Lord of Fall, Tail-eating Snake, Sir."

Zhong Shenxiu gave a slight bow.

Bai Eslun returned half a salute, "To you, who is about to step into our realm, we are equals..."

"Sir, it seems you have some inherent fondness for me..." Zhong Shenxiu questioned with curiosity.

Back in that world of Li Wei, the tail-eating snake, although it used him, ultimately let him off the hook.

Moreover, in the world of Demon Hunters resurrected by Da Mo, there was cooperation between them, but it was not essential.

Looking at the control the tail-eating snake had over that world back then, it could have chosen the best possible future path.

Sending Zhong Shenxiu was to give him the chance to access the origin and the mysteries of divinity.

"Yes... because you carry the same aura as my father, from... the Origin Star," said Bai Eslun with what appeared to be a hint of a smile on his face.

"Origin Star?"

Zhong Shenxiu immediately understood that this was his true homeland.

'So it seems... Time's Ouroboros is a descendant of a fellow transmigrator from my homeland? Therefore he has some innate fondness for me and rendered assistance along the way... Of course, the majority of my progress to this point is still due to my own efforts.' Zhong Shenxiu nodded to himself: "Then... the sole piece of divinity within me..."

"That was... an accident!" Bai Eslun declared, "Something unknown happened to the Origin Star, causing you to traverse to another world. In that process, you were affected by an accident, and a piece of torn-away singular divinity fortuitously bonded with you... It's as if you were born to hold this unique divinity, a probability that wouldn't even occur in a billion..."

"Torn away?"

Zhong Shenxiu seemed to have caught a rather significant term: "So... a war?"

"Yes, but at your current level, touching upon it recklessly would do you no good," Bai Eslun said, smiling.

"Yes, let's think about the real issues. As for my ascension to True God, what stance do the many deities of the West hold?"

Zhong Shenxiu broached the most critical question.

"Your vision is still not far-reaching enough. To us, infinite worlds are merely playthings, even the Seven Luminaries Heaven is just one among ordinary worlds... Our essence and will are not located here... We only descend occasionally. As for the church and such, heh... Mortals depend on us, not the other way around!"

Bai Eslun continued, "The Spirit King is one of us, the Lord of Calamity pays these matters no heed, and only the Lord of the Gateway might descend... As for the old gods, they were cleared away by us after the first round of the Yan Han revolt."

"You carry with you the aura of the Lord of the Gateway. Perhaps He will not descend for your possession of this world but when you become a True God, He may come to settle the entanglement of fate with you..."

"That's rather good," Zhong Shenxiu breathed out a sigh of relief.

He had thought that in becoming a True God, he might have to withstand all the gods of the West, but now it appeared that he only had one enemy.

"When you ascend, I will not help you, for... the Lord of the Gateway is also a member of our organization, or should I say 'club.' He will test you, and if you pass, we can collectively cede this world to you."

Bai Eslun blinked, as if to say that the dealings of nearly being a fellow countryman were worth so much.
