Chapter 1826 - 5: Daoxian Universe Earth Change Theory, The Minister of Agriculture’s Aspiration—Changing Heaven and Earth!

The first three bases of the Sea Passage have encountered problems due to phased construction and different construction progress.Because the initial excavation went smoothly and there were sufficient personnel, once the first mountain was breached, a group immediately moved forward to establish a base, while a batch remained at the first Boundary Mountain to reinforce the passage, akin to people stationed at the entrance of each train carriage.

As each base connects, expanding into the universe’s starry sky, they form the Sea Passage.

"Yes, Zhao Xing, your train carriage metaphor is quite apt," Daoist Miao Song took a deep breath and said,

"Currently, not only is the space between carriages compressed, but there’s also toxic gas, monsters, and blood rain corroding the Magic Body."

"Initially, with Emperor Hongshan and Emperor Bishui present, morale was stable, so no one paid much heed. But now that Emperor Hongshan is injured, people are getting anxious."

"Gu Ming is unwilling to venture out to rescue because as a Mechanical Master, he’s not responsible for combat tasks. The calls for changing course are growing louder."

"I estimate this matter might be hard to contain..."

"Ah, it’s truly unfortunate, to encounter such a situation just a few years after arriving!" Daoist Miao Song couldn’t help but curse.

Power and responsibility are proportional. If the Sea Passage is rerouted or abandoned, then what purpose do they, the Sea Communication Envoys, have?

Demotion and penalty are secondary; Daoist Miao Song only prays not to be thrown into prison.

"Is the situation really this severe?" Zhao Xing felt he might have been too idealistic.

"I understand now; when I came to the Sea Passage in my past life, the power of the Daoxian Universe Earth Change Theory had been suppressed to its lowest by the Array, and even occasional outbreaks didn’t cause chain reactions, which gave me the impression it was easily manageable," Zhao Xing secretly analyzed.

"Brother Miao Song, share with me the situation and information you know."

Daoist Miao Song tapped his Star Mirror with Zhao Xing’s to complete the connection.

Then, watching the thoughtful Zhao Xing, he couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Zhao, you’re not thinking of wading into this mess, are you?"

"I think, while no tasks are upon you yet, you should quickly find an excuse to slip away from Emperor Hongshan. Aren’t you also serving as an Annihilation Star Envoy?"

"Apply for a transfer now, and the Emperor likely won’t trouble you."

"I can’t; I’ve been working here for about ten years already, sigh..."

Daoist Miao Song spoke sincerely; from his perspective, escaping now was Zhao Xing’s best option.

"I won’t leave," Zhao Xing shook his head. "Retreating when faced with difficulty isn’t my style."

"Do you really intend to stay?" Daoist Miao Song was somewhat surprised. He had painstakingly explained the risks to Zhao Xing, yet to no avail.

"Even if the penalties don’t fall upon you, you shouldn’t stay. Who knows how long it will take to resolve the issues at Sea Passage? It’s better to..."

"Brother Miao Song, no need to persuade further," Zhao Xing chuckled. "The Minister of Agriculture’s ambition is to change the world; now is the time to practice this ideal and accomplish the aspiration."

The arguments within the Central Extreme Palace had somehow ended, and the silence was palpable.

Everyone turned their gaze to Zhao Xing, captivated by his words.

"Well said!" Qiu Zishan exclaimed excitedly. "The Minister of Agriculture’s ambition is to change the world; now is just the time to implement such ideals!"

"Indeed! People from the Ancient Hill have never been defeated by a single mountain!"

"The Mystical Mechanism Bureau won’t help? Then we don’t need them; we never relied on those useless people anyway!"

"Even the martial artists can’t carry a Boundary Mountain Peak..."

Many supported Qiu Zishan’s sentiment, although there were also quite a few who remained silent.

Gu Ming looked at Zhao Xing, compared the data on his Star Mirror, and then sneered, "Who do we have here? It’s the renowned Primordial Saint himself."

Unbothered by the mockery, Zhao Xing stood up and bowed, saying, "The Primordial Saint is just a laughing matter, First-level Sea Communication Envoy Zhao Xing at your service, seeking a discussion with Mr. Gu on rescue efforts."

Gu Ming, from Primordial Heavenly Palace, instinctively disliked Zhao Xing for defeating Du Yun.

He refused to heed Zhao Xing’s polite words altogether: "No need to coax me; this issue was due to your group’s negligence, unrelated to our Mystical Mechanism Bureau."

"Rescue? Sure!" Gu Ming pointed at Zhao Xing, his smile playful, "Your Void Grassman and true self go first, dare you?"

He thought what could a combat-focused Minister of Agriculture know about mountain opening and excavation? It was all just vain rhetoric to use others as pawns.

Gu Ming, being no pushover, quickly turned the tables on Zhao Xing.

"Aren’t you speaking so grandly? As the First-level Sea Communication Envoy, dare you spearhead the charge?"

Gu Ming was confident Zhao Xing would not dare agree, intending to end this pointless argument and leave.

Unexpectedly, Zhao Xing bowed, resolute in tone, "Agreed, I’ll lead the rescue operation first, also requesting Daoist Brother’s assistance."
