Super God Golden Crow Record

Chapter 79 Ten Thousand Years

Ten thousand years have passed in the blink of an eye. In ten thousand years, the Great Clock of Kilan has been upgraded three times, and its computing power has reached 90% of the original.

Under Keisha's leadership, the righteous order of the Angel Civilization has covered more than 80% of the known Divine River Civilizations in the universe, and the three major god-making projects have all been completed.

Dexing cultivated the third-generation super soldier "Divine River Power", codenamed "Galaxy Power"; Nuoxing cultivated "Nuoxing War God", codenamed "God-Slaying Power"; Lieyang cultivated "Sunlight".

The Demon Cave has undergone tremendous changes, and Zhao Chen's cultivation has reached the mid-stage of the Integration Realm. The Demon Cave's territory now almost covers the entire northern universe.

Three hundred and sixty-five giant planets floated above the core of the Zhou Tian Star Array, each more than a hundred times larger than the original Gela Star. The planets were connected by spiritual energy bridges, cultivators flew on their magical artifacts, and merchant ships shuttled back and forth.

That day, Karl and Liang Bing arrived at the Demon Cave together. Upon entering the Northern Territory, they were utterly shocked by what they saw.

Looking out, 365 giant planets are quietly suspended in the universe, each of them having undergone countless cycles of being devoured and melted, and their size far exceeds that of other planets in the universe.

The planet's surface is covered with dense clusters of buildings, stretching as far as the eye can see.

At the very center of the building complex stands a military base stretching for thousands of miles. From the very center of the base rises a blue beam of light straight into the sky.

From afar, three hundred and sixty-five giant pillars of light shot straight up from various planets into the sky, seemingly supporting the entire northern universe. Above the universe, a mysterious array of patterns faintly appeared, emanating unknown and enigmatic energy.

What... what is this? Liang Bing stared in disbelief.

"I...I don't know either," Karl said, somewhat surprised. "Come on, let's go inside and take a look."

After ten thousand years of development, the population of the Demon Cave has officially exceeded one billion, and the entire population is practicing Qi cultivation. The original 120,000 warriors have now become a million-strong army. All of them have reached the Foundation Establishment stage and each possesses a standard weapon of the treasure level.

All 365 demon generals had reached the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, comparable to the mid-stage of a second-generation divine body, and wielded the mid-grade spiritual artifact, the Star Banner. The moment the banner unfurled, it was enough to cover half a planet, and as the array patterns lit up, the stellar power it drew in flowed continuously.

As the top combat force in Zhao Chen's army, the Ten Demon Generals each had a set of cultivation techniques and magical treasures specially created by Zhao Chen.

Bai Ze, stationed on the planet Ge La, possesses a peak Golden Core cultivation level and wields the top-grade spiritual artifact "Myriad Manifestations Mirror," capable of revealing an enemy's weaknesses with a single glance, leaving them with little chance of survival within three breaths. Ying Zhao, stationed on the seventh main star, also possesses a peak Golden Core cultivation level and wields the top-grade spiritual artifact "Sky-Splitting Halberd," capable of tearing through the void with a single strike, allowing for attacks from behind. Gui Che, stationed on the eleventh main star, also possesses a peak Golden Core cultivation level and wields the top-grade spiritual artifact "Nine Infant Bow," capable of unleashing nine arrows simultaneously, each one a soul-locking strike. The remaining seven also possess unique strengths and concealed deadly techniques.

The ten demon generals were all at the peak of the Golden Core stage, with combat power comparable to the peak of the second-generation divine body, and only half a step away from the Nascent Soul stage.

After ten thousand years of continuous conquest by the Demon Cave, there is no longer any war in the Northern Universe. Within a radius of millions of light-years, all civilizations have either submitted or perished. The entire North has been completely conquered, leaving only three hundred and sixty-five giant stars, each with towering peaks, abundant spiritual energy, and dense populations.

Markets and neighborhoods also began to emerge in response to demand.

Initially, it was because some commoners used their own cultivation experiences or self-created techniques to exchange for goods with others, which gradually formed a market, and then became a market town.

Zhao Chen didn't stop them; instead, he gave them a push. He built a market on each of the 365 main stars to facilitate trade.

The market was filled with all sorts of strange and wonderful things, including cultivation techniques, magical artifacts, elixirs, array diagrams, and even treasures discarded by the army.

The market was bustling with people, each seeking what they needed. Most were at the Qi Refining Realm cultivation level. People of various races—divine beings, beasts, angels, and humans—traded here.

On the market street, Liang Bing and Karl were strolling around with great interest. Liang Bing concealed her face with a cloak. Karl followed beside her, wearing a gray robe that hid his entire face in the hood.

The market was more crowded than Liang Bing had expected. There were dwarves selling magical artifacts by the roadside, elves selling pills, and a human cultivator haggling with a vendor over a copied cultivation manual.

"Zhao Chen has done a good job running this place." Karl's voice came from under the hood, his tone judgmental.

Liang Bing didn't respond. She opened the Dark Dimension and scanned the sky above the market, quickly detecting Zhao Chen's presence. She turned and left, and Karl hesitated for a moment but ultimately didn't follow.

When Liang Bing found Zhao Chen, he was sitting in a teahouse in the center of the market, drinking tea. He didn't even look up when Liang Bing pushed the door open.

"You've been living a comfortable life for ten thousand years without any contact." Liang Bing threw off her cloak, revealing her pretty face.

Zhao Chen put down his teacup. "What brings you here?"

"Let's see if you're dead yet."

"Thanks to you, I didn't die. I'm still alive and well."

Liang Bing walked over and sat down opposite her, her gaze sweeping over the teacups on the table. "Your influence is developing quite well, huh?"

"So-so."

Liang Bing reached out and poured herself a glass. "Is it because of the big clock? Can I take a look?"

"The big clock is gone."

"Fine, don't just say no. How stingy." Liang Bing pouted.

Liang Bing leaned back in her chair. Her gaze swept over Zhao Chen's face, and she thought, "It's been ten thousand years, and you haven't changed at all."

"Oh, Karl's here too." Liang Bing said, gesturing towards the window, "He's wandering around the market right now, saying he wants to buy a cultivation manual to study. Aren't you going to do anything about it?"

"He can't buy the real core. What's circulating in the market is what I deliberately released." Zhao Chen looked completely unconcerned.

Liang Bing looked at him with amusement. "Aren't you afraid he might actually figure something out?"

"He's not that good yet."

After a pause, Zhao Chen asked again, "How is your sister?"

"My sister is doing well. The second physical battle is over, and she's now doing the cleanup work."

Um… Zhao Chen wanted to ask her about He Xi, but he didn't know how to bring it up. In the end, he said nothing.

Liang Bing stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the scene in the market. People of all races—orcs, angels, humans, dwarves, and spirits—came to and fro. Some were trading cultivation techniques, some were ordering magical artifacts, and some were drinking and chatting. This once barbaric land had completely transformed into the most prosperous region in the universe.

"Look, Karl's over there." Liang Bing suddenly spotted her target and pointed to a bookstore in the southeast corner of the market.

Zhao Chen stood up and turned to look. Karl was standing in front of the bookstore counter, flipping through a book called "Demon Clan Breathing Techniques." The bookstore owner, an elderly orc, was somewhat impatient with Karl, urging him to either buy it quickly or put it down.

Carl pulled out an energy cube, put the book in his pocket, and disappeared into the crowd.

"Don't you need to keep an eye on him?" Liang Bing asked.

"No need. He can buy as much as he wants."

Liang Bing turned around, looking at him suspiciously. "You didn't tamper with the cultivation technique, did you?"

"No, but these are just the surface; I haven't even touched the real core."

Liang Bing was stunned for a moment. "I'd believe you for a second!"

Zhao Chen sat back down. "I'm giving you the upgrade plan for the fourth-generation divine body. Remember to give it to your sister when you get back."

Liang Bing's eyes widened instantly. "Brother-in-law, where did you get the fourth-generation solution?"

Zhao Chen didn't reply and started drinking his tea.

When Karl emerged from the market, Liang Bing was already waiting for him at the entrance. Liang Bing noticed that Karl now held three cultivation manuals; these were likely the inheritances Zhao Chen had deliberately released.

"Did you buy it?" Liang Bing asked.

"Hmm." Karl nodded. "The Demon Clan's Breathing Technique, Foundation Building and Body Refinement, and Introduction to Formations." He showed the three cultivation manuals to Liang Bing, his voice tinged with amusement. "Zhao Chen is putting these up for public sale in the market, like he's fishing for fish. People who buy these books and reach later stages of cultivation will run out of further methods and have no choice but to join the army to serve him."

Liang Bing's expression was somewhat amused. She turned and walked towards the city gate, and Karl quickly followed.

When Liang Bing returned to the Heavenly Court of Merlo, Keisha was handling government affairs in the main hall, with He Xi sitting to the side.

When Liang Bing came in, Keisha didn't even look up. "Where did you go?"

"Patrol. Went on a patrol to the north."

Keisha's fingers, which were holding the pen, paused abruptly before continuing to slide. Liang Bing walked past her and sat down on the throne to her right.

He Xi sat to one side, her silver hair falling over her shoulders. She glanced at Liang Bing with a complex expression, but said nothing.

Meanwhile, at the northern edge of the universe, Zhao Chen sat atop a high-rise building, overlooking the market below.

The market was bustling with people.
