"Finally, I'm out." Zhao Xing greedily inhaled the surrounding air, "I hope I never have to go back in."

Mr. Zhao had no interest in visiting prisons, only someone like Le Yao would think of a prison as a talent market.

"Wu Tian, the mysterious Wu Tian, I wonder what his true background is... Although my cultivation hasn't improved over these five hundred years, you could say I've been reborn." Zhao Xing mused to himself.

Looking back on the experiences of the past five hundred years, Zhao Xing felt as if they'd happened in another lifetime.

Now he could truly say he was a gem, needing just a bit of refinement to shine brilliantly.

"In my past life, it was at this time I entered the universe version, but my starting point is much higher now than it was back then."

Gathering his thoughts, Zhao Xing turned and looked at the Boundary Star ahead.

"The Great Zhou Dynasty actually has an advanced Boundary Star?"

"I wonder how everyone is doing."

Great Zhou had migrated there a long time ago; calculating it roughly, it had been nearly a thousand years.

"Whoosh~"

Zhao Xing, with a thought, immediately flew towards the starship port of Great Zhou.

...

"You say your name is Zhao Xing and you're the Grand Minister of Agriculture of Great Zhou? And you want our Majesty to come meet you?" At the port's reception hall, an official at the Birth Realm scrutinized Zhao Xing and solemnly said, "Please don't joke like that, sir!"

The official, suppressing his anger, said, "If you're here for business, head to the side hall on your left; if you're here for tourism, take the passage on the right."

Zhao Xing earnestly said, "I really am Zhao Xing, you can find someone who knows me if you don't believe it."

He didn't say much more because at this point in history, everything had been altered. Aside from a few individuals, no one remembered the Yuanhai Ancient Country.

Even the Yuanhai Ancient Country no longer existed.

So for the people of Great Zhou, how their memories of him were preserved, how they were 'corrected,' Zhao Xing dared not tell this official more.

"Alright, sir, please wait here." The official left the reception hall with a gloomy expression. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

He went to the back chamber and reported to a Mechanical Puppet, "Please inform Dragon General of the Star Patrol Guard that someone at the Third Realm wishes to cause trouble here."

"Received." The Mechanical Puppet's eyes glowed red, "The Star Patrol will arrive shortly."

Zhao Xing slowly surveyed the surroundings in the front hall.

"Jiachen Level Array, Star Sky Ring Land, even Great Zhou has these things now."

"Just looking at the infrastructure, the financial resources seem comparable to those of the Da Ye Dynasty back then."

"Though I wonder how many experts there are now, hmm? The Star Patrol Guard?"

While Zhao Xing was musing, he saw a team from the Star Patrol Guard aggressively enter the hall.

The leader carried a massive sword, with an aura that had clearly reached the Third Realm.

"Sword Sect of the Small Divine Power Realm...Long Xiao?"

The one leading them was none other than Long Xiao, and a burly deputy general by his side, also at the Third Realm, was Yin Xiu!

"Who, who's causing trouble?" After discussing with the reporting official, Long Xiao asked angrily.

Following the official's directions, he spotted Zhao Xing.

Long Xiao's gaze instantly froze.

"What the hell!"

The next moment, Long Xiao rushed over, "You, you you..."

"Long Xiao, why are you stammering, have you forgotten me?" Zhao Xing asked.

"Zhao Xing, you've finally returned!" Long Xiao hugged Zhao Xing.

"Alright, in front of everyone, what kind of decorum is this?" Zhao Xing disdainfully pushed him away.

"Ha ha ha, you're not dead, huh." Long Xiao patted Zhao Xing on the shoulder.

"You're making it sound like I should have died?"

"It's been many years without any news of you." Long Xiao recalled, "It's been about a thousand years since we've had any news of you."

"Let's find a place to catch up; this isn't the place for talking." Zhao Xing suggested.

"Alright." Long Xiao immediately said to Yin Xiu beside him, "General Yin, the official duties are temporarily entrusted to you."

"No problem." Yin Xiu excitedly nodded, then placed a hand on his chest, and bowed to Zhao Xing in Eastern Dragon Language, "Welcome back, Emperor Long."

"Yin Xiu, there's no need for such formalities." Zhao Xing said with a smile. Even after all these years, Yin Xiu still observed Dragon Clan etiquette towards him.

"Let's go, let's go," Long Xiao pulled Zhao Xing, "We'll return to the Boundary Star, Old Chen and Xia Jing will be delighted to know you're alive, it's just that they're still at Fengdu."

Passing through the Star Sky Fortress, they took the passage into the interior of the Boundary Star, and before long, Zhao Xing reunited with Long Xiao, Chen Shijie, and Xia Jing on the Boundary Boat.

It was natural for old friends to drink heartily together.

"Mr. Zhao, you finally returned, how could you not send word for over a thousand years?" Xia Jing complained, "Even Old Chen and I almost thought you were trapped in Yueluo Cemetery."

Zhao Xing raised his glass, "I was indeed trapped somewhere for a long time... but let's not talk about me just yet."

"Does anyone here have the Great Zhou Chronicles I can look at?"

"Don't look at me," Long Xiao shook his head, "Why would I carry such a thing?"

"I don't have one either." Xia Jing shook his head.

"I do." Chen Shijie took out a "Da Zhou New Chronicles" from his Space Ring.

Without a word, Zhao Xing grabbed it and began reading.

"...The Great Zhou ascended through void in the 80th year of Yuan Ding."

"In the 895th year of Yuan Ding, Great Zhou arrived at the Illusion God Star System, coinciding with the opening of Yueluo Cemetery."

"In the First Year of Shixin, Grand Minister of Agriculture Zhao Xing broke through to the Origin Realm and met Jing Yan of the Red Star Empire..."

The Da Zhou New Chronicles mainly recorded significant events after Great Zhou's ascension, and most of these were about Zhao Xing and Yun Tian Dao.

Zhao Xing easily found the answers he was looking for.

"History got sidetracked at the exit of the Desolate Domain; originally, we only traversed that realm for almost five hundred years, but now it's almost nine hundred."
