Chapter 271

After Lin Qing left, Buweileisi's face suddenly turned extremely gloomy and ugly, a trace of anger in his eyes.

"A void creature, hm..."

Although he believed in his heart that Lin Qing was merely a void creature, he had to admit that since the other party could even kill General Cang, killing him would be even simpler, and his potential was truly shocking.

Therefore, he dared not tear off the mask of civility.

"Father?" the young man Moro beside him couldn't help but say, "Mr. Lin Qing saved my life; he will surely be a powerhouse of the Void Sea in the future. You should not create a feud with him. If I go to the Mountain and Sea Realm..."

"Silence."

Buweileisi suddenly turned his head and glared at his son, then spoke coldly, "Don't speak nonsense if you understand nothing. Do you think I don't know?"

Moro was slightly stunned.

Buweileisi snorted, "Even if Lin Qing has great potential, even if he truly becomes a Child of Chaos, so what? You have completely become a person of the Mountain and Sea Realm. Even if he is a Child of Chaos, how much can he help our Reis family? How much can he help our homeland civilization?"

He looked at his son and said in a low voice, "Taking a step back, even if that Lin Qing is willing to help because of you, how long can he help us? In hundreds of millions of years, won't we all become fodder for the Yu Xingyuan Demons just like him?"

"Father..." Moro was somewhat confused.

"Moro." Buweileisi sighed and patted his son's shoulder. "This might be unfair to you, but that my lord is a personally taught disciple of the Progenitor of the Time-Space Island, collected tens of millions of years ago. In the future, he will not be an ordinary Void Divine Official either, and he may not be much worse than a Child of Chaos."

Looking into Moro's eyes, he said slowly, "Most importantly... that my lord is a personally taught disciple of the Progenitor of the Time-Space Island. Even against the invasion of Void Demons, with the means of such a great existence as the Progenitor of the Time-Space Island, it is possible to help avoid it. As for a Child of Chaos, even the Three Ancestors cannot help. Do you understand?"

Moro had heard of such a thing for the first time and couldn't help but say in surprise, "Won't the personally taught disciples of the Progenitor die?"

Buweileisi nodded slightly and said, "Unless it is the Great Silence caused by a Yu Xingyuan Monarch, the Yu Xingyuan suction caused by Void Demons can be avoided by the Three Ancestors. Therefore, among the personally taught disciples of the Three Ancestors, the oldest one has even lived for over eight billion years."

Looking at his son, he said softly, "As a personally taught disciple of the Progenitor of the Time-Space Island, that my lord, if we can establish a connection, with his status, only needs to help slightly to protect our Reis family, or even our entire homeland civilization, until the end of the epoch."

"And what about Lin Qing? What does a third-level civilization ruin in the Mountain and Sea Realm matter? He cannot give it to us anyway. The Time-Space Island also has many third-level civilization ruins!"

"Although we don't know exactly how long this epoch will last, it is said that the previous epoch lasted for hundreds of billions of years, while this epoch has only passed eighty-six billion years. There is probably a long time counted in hundreds of billions of years left."

"In hundreds of millions of years, whether it is you, me, or that Lin Qing, we will all become fodder for the Yu Xingyuan Demons."

"Shining for a moment counts for nothing. Once a civilization loses the protection of powerful figures, its decline and even destruction is very normal, and it will soon be divided and plundered by other civilizations."

"You and I will die eventually; what matters most in the end is our homeland."

"For our homeland civilization to develop for a long time, to be even more brilliant for tens of billions of years or even longer, to go further, only that my lord of the Time-Space Island can help us."

Speaking to this point, Buweileisi gazed at his son and said slowly, "Child, this is not for you or me, but for our family, for our homeland. It is not easy to have a chance to connect with a personally taught disciple of the Progenitor of the Time-Space Island. We absolutely cannot let it go. Do you understand?"

Moro finally understood; it turned out his father considered things so far-sighted, willing to give up the Seven-Colored Divine Artifact, all for the sake of the family and the homeland civilization.

"Just now, that Lin Qing even used the Seven-Colored Divine Artifact to tempt me."

Buweileisi snorted, "That is to say, in his eyes, you are more valuable than the Seven-Colored Divine Artifact. It seems he, like that my lord, saw your special nature. Although the Seven-Colored Divine Artifact is precious, it cannot compare to the promise of that my lord, nor can it compare to the future of our homeland. Do you understand?"

"Yes, Father." Moro nodded slowly, then asked in confusion, "However, since that my lord of the Time-Space Island wants to take me as a disciple, why did he not cultivate me earlier?"

Buweileisi fell silent for a moment and said, "I do not know this. That my lord has his own considerations; you will know later."

Looking at Moro, he instructed, "In any case, remember: for the sake of the family, for the longevity of civilization, do not be tempted by some benefits from that Lin Qing. Do you know?"

Moro nodded and said, "Father, I understand."

Buweileisi nodded slightly and said, "Go. Do not forget your words. I will contact that my lord in a moment to speak on your behalf and make Lin Qing release you."

"Yes, Father." Moro nodded and then left.

After his son left, Buweileisi squinted at the endless starry sky outside the window, slowly closed his eyes, and murmured to himself, "Everything is just for the civilization. Do not blame me..."

After a while, he opened his eyes and immediately contacted that personally taught disciple of the Progenitor of the Time-Space Island: "Seventeenth Crown Prince, we have encountered trouble..."

Reality.

In the Eastern Pole Sea of the vast Void Sea, a divine artifact boat sailed across the sea surface at an astonishing speed.

After Lin Qing left that private subordinate space, he looked directly at Moro beside him. He was too lazy to say much; a flash of light appeared in the vertical eye on his forehead, and he directly took this young man into the vertical eye void.

No matter what, let's send this young man back to the Mountain and Sea Realm first.

If this young man really does not want to, letting him leave later is not too late. After all, this young man might become the successor of that 'Fog Pigeon City Lord', which relates to whether he can obtain a great benefit, so naturally, he cannot give up so easily.

Originally, he wanted to have a good talk with that Reis clan leader; even if he had to give away one Seven-Colored Divine Artifact, he was willing.

But with the other party's attitude, there were many suspicious points, and they were deliberately hiding and deceiving. Naturally, he was too lazy to say more and would wait for that big shot of the Time-Space Island to talk to him personally.

"Disciple?"

Lin Qing squinted slightly, "Eighty percent, it is not as simple as a disciple."

He immediately sent this Moro to the Mountain and Sea Realm through the vertical eye void in his forehead.

The Mountain and Sea Realm is protected by the space-time power of the Vacuum Great Tomb. In the Mountain and Sea Realm, he is invincible. Not to mention a personally taught disciple of the Progenitor of the Time-Space Island, even the Progenitor of the Time-Space Island himself, without his permission, cannot forcibly break into the Mountain and Sea Realm.

As for whether this young man himself is willing?

That is no longer important.

For a 'child' like this with no life experience and no independent opinion, he has nothing to discuss.

As for whether he is qualified to be the successor of those tombs of the Vacuum Great Tomb?

It is enough that the Boundless Heart thinks he is qualified.

After all, he is only here to get a reward. If he can cultivate him well, he will try his best; if he cannot cultivate him well, it does not matter.

"Continue sailing."

After sending Moro to the Mountain and Sea Realm, Lin Qing began to continue sailing on the Void Sea.

At the same time, he tried his best to perceive and observe all the scenery along the way.

"Over eight thousand years, the scope of the world I know is still insufficient to contain the complete space rules..."

Lin Qing frowned slightly, "With my speed of piloting the divine artifact, which is dozens of times faster than a normal void creature, it should not be far off..."

According to what he knows, the three conditions required to become a Void Master are—

One, a will sufficient to carry space rules. He naturally has long been enough.

Second, to comprehend all the mysteries of space, he is already sufficient.

The third condition is to perceive a world vast enough to construct a realm within the mind capable of containing the laws of space.

According to common sense, a void-dwelling creature drifting through the Void Sea for hundreds of thousands of years would have constructed a world in its mind large enough to contain the complete laws of space.

Yet, he sails at a speed dozens of times faster, so the time required is naturally one-tenth of that.

Unfortunately, he has not succeeded up to now.

"I feel it should be soon..." Lin Qing pondered silently.

However, it was merely a vague feeling; how much longer specifically, he was uncertain.

If fast, perhaps it could be achieved tomorrow.

If slow, it was hard to say; it might take another ten thousand years to succeed.

Suddenly—

Lin Qing received a message from the Second Universe Network.

It turned out to be an invitation to enter a private subsidiary space, with the three characters 'Time-Space Island' noted.

He immediately split off a wisp of consciousness to log into the Second Universe Network and accepted the invitation.

Within a frozen world, Lin Qing suddenly appeared in this realm.

As far as the eye could see, there was only a vast, boundless world of frost, as if falling into a silver dream forgotten by time.

The lake surface was frozen solid by the bitter cold, becoming a huge, flat mirror; the distant rolling mountains were also covered in snow, their lines softened, merging with the sky. Between heaven and earth, only pure white remained, so pure it was suffocating.

Lin Qing floated down gracefully onto the mirror-like ice lake.

A man in white robes with golden hair stood upon the ice lake, seemingly admiring the scenery beneath the ice, his entire being appearing to merge with this world.

"Who are you?" Lin Qing spoke.

The golden-haired man in white robes turned slightly, sized him up, and then spoke softly: "Master of the Mountain and Sea Realm, Child of Chaos?"

Immediately, he continued: "You may address me as 'Master Bingshuangyan', the seventeenth direct disciple of the Founder of Time-Space Island."

"Master Bingshuangyan," Lin Qing said, "I heard you intend to take Moro, that youth from the Leyes family, as your disciple?"

"Not quite," the golden-haired man in white robes said indifferently and casually, "He is merely 'bait', but he is indeed important to me, so I am giving you the opportunity to meet me."

"Bait?" Lin Qing frowned.

"I have explained enough," the golden-haired man in white robes said calmly, "Originally, I did not wish to deal with you, but hearing you have the potential of a Child of Chaos, I specifically invited you to see me. I have given you ample face by handing that youth over to me. In the future, I can offer slight protection to your Mountain and Sea Realm. Even if you perish in the Yu Xingyuan hundreds of millions of years from now, this agreement will remain unchanged until the end of this era. How about that?"

Lin Qing smiled and said, "Are you so certain that I will die hundreds of millions of years from now? That hundreds of millions of years from now, my Mountain and Sea Realm will need your protection?"

The golden-haired man in white robes frowned slightly and said, "What? Because the attitude of the Founder on the Yuan Seat towards you has become slightly more special, you feel you are truly special? Do you think you can achieve the status of a Chaos God, or transcend the universe like the three Founders?"

"Heh... indeed, ignorance breeds fearlessness."

He looked at Lin Qing with indifferent eyes and said, "You may not know, but in these eighty-six billion years, only one Destruction-type Chaos God has emerged, and this Chaos God actually originated from a true Level Three Civilization, merely training in our Void Sea."

Lin Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

This was the first time he had heard of this.

In the eighty-six billion years of this era, the only Destruction-type Chaos God born actually came from a Level Three Civilization?

"The native creatures of our Void Sea have failed to produce a Chaos God for several eras."

The golden-haired man in white robes said coldly, "As for transcending the universe... you, a person with only a Level Ten talent, lacking even a talent involving time, how can you speak of transcendence? Those of us from the Holy Lands, possessing time talents, have not achieved this in eighty-six billion years. Do you think you can succeed?"

He glanced at Lin Qing and said, "Let me remind you, it is not easy for the Mountain and Sea Realm to produce a peerless genius like you, but hundreds of millions of years from now, after you perish in the Yu Xingyuan, your hometown possesses the legacy of a Level Three Civilization. The crime of possessing a treasure, can you truly be at ease?"

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

He could feel it.

This direct disciple of the Holy Land Founder, while acknowledging his talent and potential, still possessed a sense of superiority, standing aloof from the world and transcending all things.

That expression seemed to say—

No matter how brilliant you are, no matter what a peerless genius you are, before time, you will eventually perish; no matter how good your talent, it is nothing more than this.

After all, besides the six Main Gods, only the Holy Land Founders can survive the Great Silence.

Only the three Holy Land Founders can help others evade the invasion of the Yu Xingyuan Demons.

This naturally gives the direct disciples of the Holy Land Founders a sense of superiority—no matter how much of a genius you are, let us see what happens hundreds of millions of years from now.

Lin Qing could also hear—

The other party's words were also a threat.

A threat using his hometown.

He currently has boundless potential, and the Child of Chaos is a peerless genius, but hundreds of millions of years from now, once he perishes in the Yu Xingyuan, if the Mountain and Sea Realm lacks sufficient powerful protectors, the crime of possessing a treasure will naturally bring the danger of destruction.

"I see..."

Lin Qing gazed at this direct disciple of the Holy Land Founder, suddenly smiled, and said softly, "I heard the Holy Land Founders can help others evade the invasion of Void Demons, but can they help you evade the Great Silence?"

The golden-haired man in white robes frowned slightly.

According to his knowledge, even his master, the Founder who established Time-Space Island, facing the Great Silence caused by the Yu Xingyuan Monarch, could not avoid it every time; death was still possible!

Even less could they protect others from evading the Great Silence.

Therefore, after every Great Silence, the disciples and relatives of the three Founders would disappear along with the Great Silence.

"As far as I know, the length of each era cannot be determined."

Lin Qing sneered, "This era has already passed eighty-six billion years. When it ends depends on when the Yu Xingyuan Monarch launches the Great Silence. How can you be certain this era has a long way to go? If the Silence comes in a few hundred million years, what difference is there between you and us? Direct Disciple of the Founder?"

He was too lazy to say more, waved his hand, and disappeared from this frozen world, leaving only a sentence drifting in the air:

"If you truly have the ability, come to my Mountain and Sea Realm and take the person by force."
