Chapter 178: World God Body!
"How many times?"
Hostess Su glanced at him and said, "The free version is one to ten times."
"Free ten times?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Does that mean paying can make it even faster? What kind of fee is that?"
"The salary for the Gravekeeper's work," Hostess Su said. "You can forget about that for now."
"Can I pay with Starfall Source Stones?" Lin Qing asked.
"Of course not," Hostess Su said. "This is the Great Grave. What use do a bunch of dead people and an intelligence like me have for Starfall Source Stones? Only actual work qualifies for compensation."
"Alright."
Lin Qing shook his head slightly and said, "Ten times is fine too."
He couldn't help but add, "Since time can be frozen here, shouldn't time acceleration be able to go even higher?"
"It wouldn't be a problem."
Hostess Su glanced at him and said, "But the Vacuum Great Grave is inherently a near-perfect mass-energy cycle. Time is also a form of energy; all consumption and recovery happen within the Great Grave. Even a massive change in time wouldn't matter."
"However, you do not belong to the Vacuum Great Grave. Once time acceleration is applied to you, besides energy consumption, we must also resist the cosmic backlash caused by time dislocation for you. Moreover, the more time you experience, the more of that 'time' you will carry out with you."
She shook her head and said, "Such irreversible changes would only cause the Vacuum Great Grave to reach its end sooner. Given that your life level is not high and you are a primordial citizen of the Primordial Realm, we granted you the maximum tenfold acceleration."
Lin Qing said thoughtfully, "So, if I absorb energy here and take it away, that would also have an impact?"
Hostess Su nodded. "Of course. Your impact is very, very small, almost negligible, but it still must be noted. Otherwise, do you think why only those who meet the conditions can enter?"
She paused, "If you become a Gravekeeper and truly make actual contributions, enjoying even higher acceleration is possible. A thousand times, ten thousand times, anything goes."
"Alright."
Lin Qing didn't think much more about it; after all, tenfold acceleration was roughly enough.
"However..." Hostess Su suddenly said, "Although the Vacuum Great Grave here cannot give you too many benefits, as a primordial citizen of the Primordial Realm, you have other benefits outside."
"Oh?" Lin Qing immediately became interested. "What?"
"You have been to the Sky Islands, right?" Hostess Su said. "As a primordial citizen of the Primordial Realm, you are qualified to know all information about every Sky Island."
Lin Qing's eyes immediately lit up, and he asked at once, "You will tell me the intelligence on all Sky Islands?"
"Yes." Hostess Su nodded. "Additionally, I can also tell you information related to Primordial Realm ruins in reality."
"Can this intelligence be told to others?" Lin Qing asked.
"That is your freedom," Hostess Su said.
As she spoke, she flicked her fingertip, and a beam of light flew into Lin Qing's forehead.
Lin Qing immediately felt some new information in his mind: intelligence on the Sky Islands of the Second Universe Network and five other Primordial Realm ruins in reality.
"Ruin Number Two, Universe Dojo?"
"Ruin Number Six, Bronze Demon Mountain?"
"99,999 lower Sky Islands... 999 middle Sky Islands... 9 upper Sky Islands..."
"Hmm? There is also a hidden Sky Island?"
In an instant, a vast amount of rich and detailed intelligence kept surfacing in his mind, leaving Lin Qing somewhat dazed.
This intelligence is too detailed...
Know that, nowadays, the exploration of various Sky Islands by all factions on Earth is still relatively shallow; the situation of most Sky Islands is still unclear.
There are 999 middle Sky Islands, yet there are only a few dozen Primordial Divine Officers on Earth.
Many Sky Islands have only been entered and seen; the specific inheritances are still unclear, and the trials do not necessarily depend on strength.
But now, the intelligence on these Sky Islands is crystal clear in his mind! So much so that Lin Qing immediately discovered many Holy Words useful to him, even including Divine Skill inheritances for Divine Officers like Starfall Demons and Universe Envoys!
"With this, the Black Flame Clone can also learn Divine Skills."
A hint of joy appeared in Lin Qing's eyes.
As a Starfall Demon Divine Officer, the Black Flame Clone faces a quite high difficulty for the Primordial Trial, and since it is not a native lifeform of Earth, the trial difficulty is even higher.
Under these circumstances, whether the Black Flame Clone can pass the 'Original Blood Demon' trial, he did not have full confidence, so he had never let the Black Flame Clone attempt the Primordial Divine Officer trial.
If it fails, then the powerful Divine Officer position of Starfall Demon would be lost.
Originally, he had thought that after visiting the Sky Islands next time, he would find a few sets of Holy Words to boost combat power, increase his strength further, and thus have greater confidence.
He never expected the Sky Islands to have Divine Skills for the Starfall Demon!
Moreover, there are some Holy Words even more suitable for the Black Flame Clone, which can be swapped in later.
"The Black Flame Clone and I are both Life System. The essence of Life System power, I can learn and directly advance. Combining with Divine Skills, which are pure technique, can also be advanced..."
If it were a clone of another faction, he would have no way to help learn the Divine Skills.
To advance, at the very least, he must be able to sense the various powers required for the Divine Skill and comprehend their essence, so that the Entropy Reverser can realize the possible future.
But as long as it is also Life System, there is no such problem.
"Excellent."
Lin Qing secretly rejoiced: "Originally, I thought the Black Flame Clone could only serve as a cultivation accelerator; now it seems it can still serve as an important combat force."
Currently, the Black Flame Clone's Gene Optimization Index is inferior to his, and it has no Divine Skills. Even with the Black Flame Combustion boost, its combat power only reaches the peak of Yu Xingyuan Layer Four, having been completely surpassed by him.
But as long as it has Divine Skills, it can still unleash super-strength.
"What's wrong?"
Hostess Su glanced at Lin Qing. "It seems this intelligence is very useful to you?"
"Very useful," Lin Qing nodded. "I have a Black Flame Clan clone who has taken up the Starfall Demon Divine Officer position."
"The Black Flame Clan, huh..."
Hostess Su said casually, "If the cost of clone resurrection is small, it is indeed very suitable to cultivate the Black Flame Clan into a clone. Basically, only this way can the Black Flame Clan's bloodline defects be broken."
"You seem to know the Black Flame Clan very well?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.
"One of the Demon Human Races, quite famous in the universe, though mainly known for being rare," Hostess Su said.
"Demon Race?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.
"They are humans who contain a trace of Yu Xingyuan Demon bloodline."
Princess Su said, "The Demon Race were once primordial humans, but a certain civilization envied the power of the Yu Xingyuan Demons and the Void Gods. They used the most malleable primordial humans for experiments. After fusing the Yu Xingyuan Demon bloodline, they became the Demon Race, of which there are many varieties."
"Fusing the Void God bloodline, that is the so-called God Race."
She smiled. "Although the God Race or the Demon Race are far inferior to the true Void Gods and Yu Xingyuan Demons, they are still not bad, and some have even established civilizations."
"I see..."
Lin Qing realized. No wonder the Black Flame Clan was so suitable for the Yu Xingyuan Demon God position; was it because they already possessed a trace of Yu Xingyuan Demon bloodline? He asked curiously, "How is the talent of the Black Flame Clan within the Demon Race?"
"It's passable." Princess Su said, "The main issue is that the flaws are too great; they are too prone to self-destruction. Without this flaw, they would be quite good, and the bloodline can still be further optimized, moving closer to the Yu Xingyuan Demons."
Lin Qing asked with some curiosity, "The Black Flame Clan's bloodline can still be further optimized?"
Princess Su glanced at him and said, "Wait until your clone breaks the Black Flame restriction first; anyway, it is related to the Yu Xingyuan Demons."
Lin Qing nodded and asked no more.
"The cultivation chamber is over there; you can go directly." Princess Su pointed to that strange building not far away.
"This is the cultivation chamber?"
On the boundless white plain, after Lin Qing walked out of that great door, he looked around with some emotion, "Is the interior of each room a vast space?"
The pre-civilization Earth obviously utilized space in a truly astonishing manner.
Moreover, the energy density here is extremely high, and there is a strange aura permeating the air, making him even more alert.
This work was organized and uploaded by Liujiu Book Bar~~
"Is the cultivation environment of this chamber this good?"
Lin Qing was secretly startled. "The floating energy is far more stable than under normal conditions... With this, comprehending the essence will also be easier..."
He did not waste time, immediately sitting cross-legged on this endless white plain.
His consciousness sank into the Eternal Gate in his mind. As a wisp of light point flew out from his brow, the Black Flame clone was immediately created once again.
"Let's begin."
Accompanied by the Black Flame clone beside him starting to burn itself, while aspects like comprehension and perception skyrocketed, Lin Qing also began to enter the cultivation state.
Cultivate for at most three months; under time acceleration, that is thirty months.
Exactly two and a half years.
Within thirty months, the other three divine techniques in the "World God" set—World Skin, Mother River Blood, and Ten Thousand Spirits Flesh—must also be mastered.
"Theoretically, mastering one technique in over half a year, the time is sufficient."
Lin Qing pondered silently, "However, ultimately forming the 'World God Body' with the four divine techniques, and even allowing the World God Body to stably integrate into oneself, equivalent to making power a constant state, is required to unleash a higher limit, but..."
He couldn't help but frown slightly.
The Life-System World God Body is like a true life form; it must also integrate into one's own body. This requires researching various life characteristics and structures to make it possible.
These are knowledge and experience, inevitably involving the essence of various life-system powers and the essence of living beings.
Without sufficient time accumulation, it is impossible to achieve this point.
"The perfect World God Body is very difficult; a simple version is also good, at least perfect in all aspects, and half a level higher than powerful divine techniques..."
Lin Qing didn't want to think too much and immediately focused on cultivation.
Days passed one by one.
Facing this monotonous and tedious endless white plain, apart from cultivation and repaying debts, Lin Qing hardly stopped at all.
Normally, divine technique cultivation consumes the spirit quite a bit, but this magical cultivation chamber environment seems to have a huge bonus effect on spirit recovery, allowing him to always remain in an excellent state.
And simple mental fatigue can be resisted entirely by personal will.
Immersed daily in the cultivation of divine techniques, Lin Qing had almost formed a habit.
In the blink of an eye, more than two years passed.
"Order."
"Advance payment, Sixth Level: World God Body."
Accompanied by a large amount of inexplicable information surfacing in his mind, Lin Qing also understood how to combine the World Skin, Mother River Blood, Ten Thousand Spirits Flesh, and Heaven Pillar Bone, these four divine techniques, into the true 'World God Body' with incredible ingenuity! At the same time, with his shallow understanding of life characteristics, structural essence, and so on, he barely deduced the method to integrate the World God Body into himself.
But this bit of cognition could only slightly solidify a small portion of the World God Body's power.
"World God Body..."
Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes. "Today is the 820th day, just enough to master it completely..."
Cultivating the World God Body was much harder than he imagined, but the effect of this cultivation chamber was also better than he imagined.
"Rise."
Lin Qing's heart moved.
The next moment, surging dark golden energy erupted from his body, instantly forming a five-meter-tall pseudo-god body, like a semi-transparent sculpture.
And he happened to be in the center of the pseudo-god body, slowly hovering in mid-air.
"First, the bones."
Lin Qing immediately activated the Heaven Pillar Bone divine technique of the "World God". He saw streams of massive dark golden light shoot up to the sky, quickly centering on the pseudo-god body, condensing and solidifying one after another huge dark golden pillar. From a distance, it looked like a dark golden skeleton leaning against the sky and reaching the ground.
"Then, the flesh."
Accompanied by the activation of the Ten Thousand Spirits Flesh divine technique of the "World God", a large amount of strange dark golden matter quickly condensed, filling and attaching to the skeleton at an astonishing speed. Furthermore, structures like blood vessels and eyeballs appeared.
Filling the pseudo-god body with the Ten Thousand Spirits Flesh divine technique could already make the pseudo-god body contain extremely terrifying power and recovery ability; at this moment, it was completely attached to the skeleton formed by the Heaven Pillar Bone.
"Next, the blood."
The next moment, surging energy spread out like a river, transforming into churning Dahe that wove through the colossal body structure formed of Ten Thousand Spirits Flesh, constantly pouring into the heart made of Ten Thousand Spirits Flesh, transported by the heart's pulsation; even some Dahe formed tiny branches, resembling the relationship between the aorta and capillaries, swirling wildly within this massive body.
At this moment, this giant divine body seemed on the verge of coming to life, yet the power was too immense and somewhat unstable, appearing ready to collapse and scatter at any instant.
"Finally... the skin."
Lin Qing, positioned at the center, felt a stir in his heart; he saw a layer of defensive force field, like a realm of light, spread out wildly like a membrane wall dividing the world, rapidly covering the entire colossal divine body, then contracting and merging just right to form the skin membrane of this World Divine Body, stabilizing the energy completely.
"Boom!"
Terrifying, majestic aura spread out; merely the pressure naturally radiating caused the various floating energies around to become chaotic.
Heaven Pillar Bone! Ten Thousand Spirits Flesh! Mother River Blood!
World Skin! At this moment, the four divine techniques combined nearly perfectly, already forming this towering and magnificent World Divine Body.
Within this colossal World Divine Body, fully several thousand meters tall, Lin Qing floated at the very center of the divine body.
— Equivalent to the location of the Danzhong acupoint in the human body.
"Finally completed..."
Feeling this incomparably terrifying power, Lin Qing felt an uncontrollable shock in his heart: "This is only the sixth energy level... this is the World God?"
