Laugh all you want, curse all you want; after a brief emotional release, we still have to get things done.

One can't always indulge in impotent rage, wasting emotions on meaningless things.

Waiting passively for doom is never Zhao Xing's style.

Zhao Xing took a deep breath and then looked at Qing Yu Zi holding the ancient sword beside him.

"Old Qing, can you say something?"

"I'm the only one playing this high-level game; it's a deadly situation."

"Can't you stop pretending to be dead? You must be a big shot, or how else would the East Extending Ancient Clan misjudge?"

"There are so many people with the dao name of Qing Yu Zi worldwide. I faked your name and signed a karma contract with the East Extending Ancient Clan; it couldn't have involved you without reason."

"We're grasshoppers on the same string now. You can't just give the Holy Grail. At least hint at what other tricks you have."

Qing Yu Zi's corpse came for this ancient sword to unseal it. If it's the East Extending Ancient Clan's operation, then Qing Yu Zi shouldn't be the one; I should be handling it myself.

After all, it's me who signed the karma contract with the Dongyan Elder Council and sent the Qingyu Card through the Star Fire channel.

Pretending and muddling through like this? Where's the logic? If this were true, the Fate Officer and Historian of the East Extending Ancient Clan could eat dirt.

Thus, Zhao Xing deduces that something must have interfered with the East Extending Ancient Clan's deployment. Now, besides the Mystic Spirit History Book-Time Page, Zhao Xing only has Qing Yu Zi's corpse and the sacred artifacts as unusual items.

Of course, he has reasons to suspect Qing Yu Zi.

However, Qing Yu Zi simply remained with closed eyes.

"Fine, if you don't talk, I'll speak."

"Why don't we calculate the resurrection cost of the East Extending Ancient Clan first?"

Right now, Zhao Xing needs external intervention; how much force is required? No wild fancies, no blind guesses.

Let's calculate the necessary breakthroughs based on the resurrection cost of the East Extending Ancient Clan.

Zhao Xing begins to organize his thoughts.

He can roughly estimate it.

Because he has gone through the Scholar God's Arrival version, and profited during the first phase's 'initial selection of gods' before fleeing.

Additionally, the other four players have connections with Zhao Xing.

Among them, three fled during the second phase.

The last one was not weak but a hero among players, only fell due to greed, attempting to achieve the Path of Enlightenment, leading to total defeat.

Both god creation and resurrection have costs that can be referenced.

"First, consider the regional cost, or specifically the 'Spiritual Energy Origin' cost."

"The resurrection in the God Realm cannot proceed without the Spiritual Energy Origin. The 'spirit' and 'spiritus' of the Yuanhai Ancient Country alone are insufficient."

"At least 1 to 3 divine artifacts containing the Spiritual Energy Origin are required."

"Regarding 'human', or the 'spirit' of living beings, sacrifice relying solely on Little Kalami won't work. Quality is required."

"Reincarnation Realm is the best resource, as they are the closest realm to the God Realm."

According to the Scholar God's Arrival version, the cost of god creation reached five thousand Reincarnation Realm.

But that was the scholar organization's god creation. Currently, resurrection through sacrifice requires a larger number—disregarding quality, let's estimate thirty thousand Reincarnation Realm.

The scholar's god creation was collective enlightenment; now it's resurrection.

If both 'resurrection' and 'enlightenment' are paths to god creation, then the scholar's method is more efficient with fewer resource wastages. Zhao Xing considers a factor of six reasonable.

"About thirty thousand people; a little margin doesn't matter, Old Qing, do you agree?"

Qing Yu Zi remains silent.

Zhao Xing nods as if in agreement.

"How could the modest Yuanhai Ancient Country gather so many Reincarnation Realm? Even if the East Extending Ancient Clan wanted to self-sacrifice, they couldn't have such numbers."

Zhao Xing continues: "A chance to gather such a formidable number can only be the Spiritual Domain Conference."

If the Spiritual Domain Conference is held in the Yuanhai Ancient Country, there's no need to find extra people; it would naturally attract them there.

"The Ancient Kingdoms Alliance consists of ten thousand ancient countries, where the Spiritual Domain Conference concerns survival environments—gathering over thirty thousand Reincarnation Realm is more than feasible."

The core of the Spiritual Domain Conference concerns the survival issues of the Xuanling Star Domain; sending low-level participants is futile, as they can't meaningfully discuss. Only the kings of ancient countries or Reincarnation Realm participants have the qualifications to engage.

"The East Extending Ancient Clan plans to trap and eliminate the Reincarnation Realm attending the Spiritual Domain Conference—such a heaven-defying act..."

"With only a few hundred years remaining until the conference, the Yuanhai Ancient Country's various regions are likely rigged with land mines."

"To trap and kill so many Reincarnation Realm, a powerful divine artifact, or several lesser ones, is necessary."

"The Mystic Spirit History Book-Time Page is a divine artifact, but the page I have belongs to the [Mystic Spirit History Book-Ten Tables]. While its time-tracing function is strong, it lacks combat effectiveness."

"The East Extending Ancient Clan must possess [Mystic Spirit History Book-Chronicle] or even a page of [Mystic Spirit History Book-Chronicle]. It can summon the Ancient God Illusion and decimate all Reincarnation Realm."

"If the East Extending Ancient Clan only has one page, this plan won't work."

"After the kill, the sacrifice process will follow, which again requires divine artifacts. The Reincarnation Altar isn't qualified; it must be a complete 'New God Altar' or a fragmented 'Ancient God Altar.'

The division of the God Realm can be differentiated into Ancient God and New God.

New Gods are all later ascended deities; Ancient Gods are legendary Innate Divine.
