Chapter 227 Jin Dancheng
With the perspective of the Star God, the layers of mist that shrouded this world were lifted, finally revealing to Zhao Sheng countless inexplicable and indescribable secrets.
He personally experienced the vastness of heaven and earth, where space-time could twist and the earth would show its curvature. The Shattered Star Sea gave rise to tides under the disturbance of the Heavenly Dao; phenomena like wind, thunder, rain, and fog flickered in and out of existence, mysterious and unpredictable.
Within the expanse of tens of thousands of miles in the Star Algae Sea, he felt as if he had replaced the Heavenly Dao, controlling the climatic changes at will with a spiritual consciousness so powerful it was beyond words. With a single thought, a storm could stir across thousands of miles of the sea's boundary, and with another, dark clouds could rise nine layers high while thousands of miles of rain and thunder suddenly roared.
This extraordinary experience, which he had never had before, delighted Zhao Sheng immensely and deeply fascinated him.
Fortunately, under the guise of Absolute Rationality, his consciousness remained independent and was not assimilated by the overpowering consciousness of the Star God.
Zhao Sheng's consciousness reprojected near Star God Island, merging into the most powerful Star God Consciousness.
In the world's depths, beneath the Heavenly Dao, a vast consciousness extended over tens of thousands of miles, overlooking a vast seascape.
Zhao Sheng saw the once colossal ten-thousand-year-old Humpbacked Mountain Turtle, which now seemed as tiny as an ant in his eyes.
With a single thought, he saw the sea area around the turtle suddenly depress, forming a gigantic vortex with a diameter of a hundred miles in the blink of an eye. This vortex suddenly exerted an infinite suction force, trying to pull the turtle into a ten-thousand-foot-deep abyss.
At that moment, the turtle let out a furious roar that shook the surrounding hundred miles.
Its island-sized body rapidly burst with a large expanse of blue radiance, wrapping it into a blue light ball, while a thirty-foot-wide beam of blue light instantly shot into the vortex below.
As the earth-shattering sound boomed, a massive amount of seawater exploded high into the sky, and towering columns of water surged from the vortex, slightly shaking the sea area within a thousand miles.
Following this terrifying strike, the turtle effortlessly broke free from the vortex's grip, the enormous blue light ball carrying vast amounts of seawater soaring into the sky.
After all, as a Tenth-Order Ancient Beast, even True Monarchs would retreat three feet when it fought for its life.
Zhao Sheng was merely toying with it; otherwise, by the expansive consciousness of the Star God, erasing the opponent with a single thought would not have been difficult.
Turning his gaze, he suddenly noticed other presences in the world of consciousness.
At this moment, there were still seven Children of Destiny in the Star God World, preaching to the Star God.
Though it was termed preaching, in essence, the Star God lent a strand of consciousness for the Children of Destiny to comprehend the Heavenly Dao themselves, then relay it back to the Star God.
Zhao Sheng looked at them, feeling a rush of curiosity.
These seven were indeed the last standing Children of Destiny, each with astonishing cultivation, all at the Golden Core Realm. Six of them possessed a True Golden Core, and only one condensed his pill through external means, but he was remarkable nonetheless—clearly a Golden Core Sword Practitioner.
Of course, cultivation levels were not Zhao Sheng's main concern; what caught his attention the most was the Qi Fortune on each of the seven Children of Destiny.

For the first time, Zhao Sheng directly observed Qi Fortune and its state of existence.
With a single flicker of thought, the secrets of vast Qi Fortune unexpectedly transmitted from the Star God Consciousness into his spirit.
Qi Fortune originates from the Innate Fate Dao, being the foremost among the Innate Five Fortunes.
Measured against Human Clan concepts, Qi Fortune is usually divided into five colors: gray, white, red, blue, and purple, with purple being the most esteemed and gray the most inferior.
Qi Fortune is further distinguished by the height it rises. Nine is the utmost number: gray Qi Fortune peaks at nine inches, white at nine feet, red at nine yards... with the highest purple Qi Fortune known as the "Purple Qi Coming from the East."
At this moment, in Zhao Sheng's eyes, even the Child of Destiny with the shallowest Qi Fortune had blue Qi Fortune, towering at ninety-three yards. Yet, the one with the deepest Qi Fortune turned out to be the sword practitioner,
This person had an ordinary appearance, not particularly tall or short, with a resolute gaze.
Aside from the three-foot iron sword on his waist that proved his occupation as a sword practitioner, his whole body's aura was calm like water, revealing no trace of sharpness and achieving the state of Returning to the Truth.
This person's Qi Fortune was tinged with purple, with a Qi Fortune pillar on his head like a sky-supporting giant pillar, directly disappearing into the clouds, turning the surrounding hundred miles of cloud into a sea of purple clouds.
Zhao Sheng paid him a bit more attention, and information about this person suddenly surfaced in his mind.
Li Pingjian, the first true inheritor of the Sky-splitting Sword Dao, Gold Element Single Spirit Root, Innate Sword Son, Golden Core Perfect Realm, Divine Power of Ten Thousand Swords Returning to One...
"...This person has the potential for Divinity Transformation!"
Out of nowhere, Zhao Sheng's mind suddenly had a premonition.
This thought emerged, and Zhao Sheng suddenly felt curious to explore this person further.
Just then, he happened to spot some individuals from the Spirit Clan.
With the thought, the Qi Fortune of the people from the Spirit Clan emerged.
Among all, the Ice King's Qi Fortune was pure blue, towering at thirty-two yards, but the one with the deepest Qi Fortune wasn't him but a junior member of the Spirit Clan... Zhao Sheng's acquaintance, Wang Yingling.
Her Qi Fortune was tinged with purple within the blue, reaching ninety-nine yards.
Zhao Sheng found this somewhat unexpected, but that... was unimportant.
At this moment, one person stood out.
Star Cloud King, ranking ninth among the people, with a pale blue Qi Fortune pillar eleven yards high.
This person had harbored intentions of killing him three or four times.
"Kill him!"
Under Absolute Rationality, Zhao Sheng's actions were always straightforward and simple, employing an iron heart that decisively cuts through everything, an understatement for his approach.
With a single thought, a strand of Divine Thought from the consciousness of the Star God immediately split off.
This strand of Divine Thought transformed into an invisible thunderbolt, instantly striking the Divine Soul of the Star Cloud King.
With the high virtue of the Star God, even a strand of Divine Thought, fundamentally speaking, was several levels higher than the Divine Consciousness of the Star Cloud King.
