Chapter 2141: Chapter 19: Xuan Huang Seeds the Dao, All Secrets Revealed (14,000)_4

"Yes," Ji Si nodded, "Due to the Ancient Star Path becoming a strategic important place for the Empire, Great Zhou plans to undergo a third overall relocation, but has not yet made a firm decision. We still reside in the Beihai Star System."

Zhao Xing nodded. Great Zhou initially survived in a small constellation within the Beihai Star System, which was more than adequate for a dynasty new to the universe.

However, as Great Zhou’s strength grew, its territory inevitably needed to expand accordingly. It could no longer be packed up and moved with a single Boundary Boat as before.

Ji Che began working on this very early, even before Emperor Wu ventured beyond Jia Chen Pass, and before the official large-scale development of the Desolate Domain by the Empire.

Later, Zhao Xing took control of the Ancient Star Path, and Great Zhou’s main direction of expansion and main territory lay outside the Empire, constructing homes around the Ancient Star Path. The Da Zhou Star System was established there.

No matter how Emperor Wu envisaged, he couldn’t have anticipated the development of the Ancient Star Path would reach its current extent.

As the mining rights were sold, star regions around the Ancient Star Path fell under the Empire’s control. Such a battlefield was no longer suitable for Great Zhou as a place of residence.

Thus, the third relocation was proposed early on, but Zhao Xing’s disappearance delayed action for Great Zhou.

Such significant matters must be discussed with Zhao Xing, no question about it.

"I think it’s better to migrate to the former site of the Yuanhai Ancient Country," Zhao Xing suggested. When he ventured into the Chenluo Wasteland, the Mystic Spirit History Book revealed the secrets of the Yuanhai Ancient Country. Even Emperor-level individuals knew about them, so they might as well be considered no longer secrets.

"The Yuanhai Ancient Country?" Ji Si was momentarily stunned. Now, Great Zhou had many places to choose from, and even the site of the Yuanhai Ancient Country was considered part of the Deserted Domain, which hadn’t been under consideration.

"Though this area is now a desolate region, Spiritual Energy is still present and hasn’t depleted to the extreme extent. It’s even better than the initial environmental conditions on the Ancient Star Path."

"We can’t always reside on someone else’s territory, or we will always encounter various restrictions."

"Choosing the Yuanhai Ancient Country allows us to slowly build up; thousands of years have passed, and there are already several fledgling world-level dynasty forces here, which could be integrated into a good choice."

"Great Zhou currently has manpower and no shortage of wealth, entirely capable of constructing its own territory here." Zhao Xing shared his thoughts.

"Additionally, it is closer to home."

Ji Si was contemplative, quickly catching onto Zhao Xing’s idea: "Indeed, the Grand Minister of Agriculture is now at the Demi-God Realm. In today’s era, should the Minister of Agriculture wish to become a God, choosing a desolate area for the Path of Enlightenment is also an option."

Zhao Xing’s lips curved into a slight smile. Indeed, Ji Si understood him.

Currently, he had already reached the Demi-God level. Theoretically speaking, Demi-Gods don’t need to undergo the True Spirit Tribulation multiple times to become stronger but should strive to become gods.

Undergoing tribulations is forced, and each tribulation post-Demi-God becomes more difficult, with the danger far greater than the degree of enhancement.

Not everyone is like Bo Wei, who can withstand the eighteenth True Spirit Tribulation.

The vast majority of Demi-Gods can’t surpass the fourteenth True Spirit Tribulation, and if they don’t become gods before that, they face nothing but obliteration.

"Using the Grand Minister of Agriculture’s Stacked Realm Mountain theory and the Annihilation Star Six Qi Theory, both undoubtedly represent the Heaven and Earth Dao. No one understands these two Magic Theories better than you. Reconstructing Great Zhou in the desolate area could serve as a testing ground for the Grand Minister of Agriculture’s theories."

"My Magic Theory is still incomplete, Ji Si, don’t praise me too much."

Zhao Xing’s face flushed a bit, as his two theories were still merely budding, with Ji Si directly claiming them as becoming gods’ Path of Enlightenment.

However, Ji Si was right about one thing: Zhao Xing indeed suggested moving Great Zhou here to resist desolation, govern the Desolate Domain, thereby completing the Heaven and Earth Dao.

The journey to the Xuanhuang Realm yielded great gains for Zhao Xing. Wei Tianchen’s Heaven Repairing Technique, Venerable Lan Chuan’s Earth Refining Technique, the Soul Well from the White Bone Divine Domain, Bone Body, and even the Yu God’s crafted challenges—all provided him methods and ideas.

Now that he was a Demi-god, the plan for becoming a god on the Path of Enlightenment naturally had to start preparing.

"But, Grand Minister of Agriculture... will the Empire let us leave?" Ji Si hesitantly asked, "We have just risen from the Empire’s desolate development, becoming the Empire’s new noble..."

"Challenges are inevitable," Zhao Xing calmly stated, "Once we leave the Empire, our network and treatment won’t be as robust. Any ancient country faces challenges upon founding."

"As for whether the Empire will allow it, I believe there will be a suitable opportunity."

The Desolate Third Epoch is about to descend—this is the Ice River Era!

The situation is about to become turbulent, and once the desolate development is complete, alliances between superpowers won’t be as harmonious.

Great Zhou seeking its own territory during stable times is very challenging; the Empire will certainly oppose. But if during the Ice River Era, there may be an opportunity.

After all, Great Zhou doesn’t intend to become enemies with the Empire, just self-sustain, presenting a relatively manageable challenge.

Moreover, Zhao Xing himself doesn’t plan to detach from the Red Star Empire.

"As long as I don’t leave the Primordial Realm, and you don’t leave the Heavenly Master Mansion, the resistance to Great Zhou’s self-sustain will be considerably reduced."

Ji Si nodded, starting from being a dependent dynasty and advancing step by step was indeed very feasible. However, now it still lacked a decisive moment.

Many of their riches still need to be converted into resources relying on the Empire, so there’s no need to delineate boundaries so swiftly.

"Grand Minister of Agriculture, have you returned home?" Ji Si also inquired, the same question as the Five Poisons and others, wondering where Zhao Xing had gone.ℯ
