Chapter 285: Light King

In an instant, the scene presented by the third future line surged into Lin Qing's mind.

"The Chaos God has been born!"

On that Supreme Star, which harbors the most mysterious place in the universe, endless cosmic origin descended and gathered; in the future vision, Lin Qing seemed to have become the center of the universe, dazzling beyond measure, his pressure weighing down all directions.

Below, six figures radiating terrifying pressure appeared, similarly drawing upon endless cosmic origin light to empower them, as if representing the will of the universe.

Among them, the Life-type Primordial God was none other than that Great One of the Mirror, clearly one of the six Primordial Gods of the Void Sea.

Receiving the future message observed by that Light King, Lin Qing could not help but feel puzzled: "I truly became a Chaos God? What about that peerless genius from the Immortal Realm? He actually lost to me?"

In the second future, he also possessed a Chaos Divine Artifact of the innate set type, his strength already extremely terrifying, yet he was completely no match for that peerless genius from the Immortal Realm; the opponent was clearly far beyond him.

At least, he could not think of how to defeat the opponent now.

But...

In this third future, the one who achieved the Chaos Godhood was actually him?

"The Great Nirvana is about to arrive."

The figure who drew upon endless Life-type cosmic origin sighed: "I did not expect this epoch to end so quickly, nor did I expect that Lin Qing, who was a Star God ten million years ago, would truly achieve Chaos Godhood now."

The tall figure beside him, who drew upon Order-type cosmic origin, heard this and shook his head: "It is the times, it is fate; originally... the position of Chaos God indeed should have belonged to that peerless genius from the Immortal Realm, but before he could achieve Chaos Godhood, he was plotted against and killed by the Yu Xingyuan Monarch, which ironically benefited Lin Qing."

"However... for our Void Sea, this is not a good thing."

The Primordial God radiating endless Destruction-origin aura spoke coldly: "If that peerless genius from the Immortal Realm had ascended to the position of Primordial God, leveraging his connection to a Transcendent-level civilization, as long as a portion of the Void Sea's origin was transferred, the Yu Xingyuan Monarch would not have launched the Great Nirvana, delaying it by at least hundreds of millions of years; but since it is Lin Qing who achieved Chaos Godhood, that is troublesome."

"There is no way." The Nature-type Primordial God beside him sighed: "After all, the Tier-3 civilization behind Lin Qing has already been destroyed; like us, he is trapped within this universe cage."

"Only one born transcendent to the universe, who then achieves Primordial Godhood, can accomplish this." The Power-type Primordial God spoke indifferently: "Although we have become Primordial Gods and are thus eternal and indestructible, we are still constrained by cosmic origin and can never transcend the universe; unless a Chaos God from a Tier-3 civilization is willing to become a Primordial God in our Void Sea, otherwise no one can save us."

"If it cannot be saved, then so be it."

The Chaos-type Primordial God smiled: "Anyway, every Great Nirvana returns all living beings to nothingness; none of us can save anyone. After so many epochs, haven't we grown accustomed to it?"

He glanced at the Destruction-type Primordial God: "As for Destruction, you also came from a Tier-3 civilization; can you not save this Void Sea?"

"Why should I save it?" the Destruction-type Primordial God said icily: "Moreover, my status in my homeland is not high enough to casually request the Lord of that civilization to intervene; should I waste a favor from a Great One for these unrelated living beings?"

The Chaos-type Primordial God laughed: "True; you have no connection to this Void Sea; coming to become a Primordial God was merely for the benefits of the position, right?"

"Enough, stop talking."

The Order-type Primordial God shook his head slightly, looked at the Life-type Primordial God, and said: "This newly born Chaos God, Lin Qing, still has his family and friends; once he learns of this, I fear he will not be able to accept this result."

"If he doesn't accept it, what can he do?" the Chaos-type Primordial God said with a half-smile: "The Great Nirvana is about to arrive; he is not from a Tier-3 civilization, nor does he know the Lord of a Tier-3 civilization; as a newly promoted Primordial God, besides watching helplessly, what else can he do?"

"Cha Bu, stop talking." The Life-type Primordial God frowned and glanced at him: "Lin Qing merely eliminated the Four Emperors and the Seven Generals; why are you targeting him like this?"

The Chaos-type Primordial God still smiled: "Just speaking casually, that is all."

"Regardless, we should indeed congratulate Mirror." The Order-type Primordial God looked at the Life-type Primordial God: "From now on, you can shed the position of Primordial God; with your mastery of space and time, you should be only one step away from transcendence, correct?"

"With the accumulation of so many epochs, even after transcendence, there will likely be great progress."

"Congratulations, Mirror."

One by one, the Primordial Gods offered casual congratulations and blessings.

At this moment, Lin Qing, who was floating in the center of endless cosmic origin above the Supreme Star, finally completed his transformation.

"Lin Qing."

The Life-type Primordial God approached, smiling: "Congratulations on achieving Chaos Godhood; when do you plan to inherit the position of Life-type Primordial God?"

"I will inherit it after I reincarnate." In the vision, Lin Qing smiled and said: "I do not want my homeland, the Mountain and Sea Realm, to be destroyed by the Yu Xingyuan simply because I became a Primordial God; I plan to reincarnate into the Star Fall Civilization, just to see if the Yu Xingyuan will destroy the Star Fall Civilization that pledged allegiance to the Yu Xingyuan Monarch."

"Actually, it makes no difference." The Chaos-type Primordial God, however, spoke with a half-smile: "In another thirty million years, the Great Nirvana will arrive; it is not long now."

"What?" In the vision, Lin Qing's expression suddenly changed.

Meanwhile, Lin Qing, who was receiving this future message, felt somewhat dazed.

It seems the Great Nirvana is not far off, yet in the first two future lines, he lived for hundreds of millions of years, ultimately dying from Void Demons attracted by the passage of vast time, rather than from the Great Nirvana.

Looking at this...

Could it be that in the first two future lines, it was ultimately that peerless genius from the Immortal Realm who became the Chaos God and then ascended to Primordial Godhood, thereby delaying the arrival of the Great Nirvana?

Lin Qing could not help but frown slightly.

If it is me who becomes the Chaos God, will the Great Nirvana arrive early?

Under the Great Nirvana, apart from the six Primordial Gods and the three Progenitors, everything in the entire Void Sea will be destroyed, naturally including the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"This..." Lin Qing frowned: "Must it be a Chaos God from a Tier-3 civilization who, after becoming a Primordial God, can possibly delay the arrival of the Great Nirvana?"

Although he did not understand these secrets himself, he could analyze this from the casual conversation of these six Primordial Gods.

If the future lines observed by the Light King are truly possible, then he does not know what he should do.

The future vision shifted.

He stood at an endless height in the center of the Void Sea; he could see endless darkness surging forth from the abyss at the edge of the Void Sea, rapidly spreading toward the center of the Void Sea.

Wherever that darkness passed, whether living beings or Void Secret Realms, instantly returned to Nirvana.

"The Great Nirvana..."

In the vision, he looked at this scene, then turned to look at Zhao Jiayi beside him, his cousin's family, Qi Lingxiao, Chu Hongjun, Yi Leina Duo, and those with bloodline and aura connections to him... looking at these family and friends, his eyes were complex and helpless.

He could only sigh: "Everyone, the Great Nirvana has come; truly, it is time for eternal farewell..."

Zhao Jiayi held him silently without speaking.

One by one, relatives and friends also looked at him, their eyes expressing sorrow, reluctance, relief, or helplessness...

Finally, endless darkness enveloped them, causing everything to return completely to Nirvana.

Amidst the boundless torrent of darkness, only Lin Qing remained, surviving miserably under the protection of endless cosmic origin, before falling into slumber.

Everything returned to darkness.

Lin Qing silently received this memory, fully able to comprehend that loneliness and helplessness.

In an instant, his family, his friends, his homeland... everything familiar to him almost completely vanished, leaving only himself, sleeping alone in the endless darkness.

"So this is how a Main God lives?"

Lin Qing murmured.

He had once been a person with a very soft heart; later, the apocalypse he experienced made him ruthless and cold, but in the years since Earth welcomed peace, he had someone he loved, family and friends, subjects who supported him, and everything he valued.

Even though he was the Lord of the Secret Realm and his heart would be assimilated by the world, with his willpower, he would not be affected.

After so many years, how could he possibly have no emotions?

But...

If one day all of this perished in darkness, leaving only him, even if he could accept it, he did not want to accept it.

"At least, don't let it end so soon..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, his eyes very complex.

Because he could see that in that future scene just now, many family and friends had already become Void Beings, with powerful Secret Art auras within their bodies.

Obviously, he had paid a huge price to forcibly cultivate them into Void Beings; combined with that powerful Secret Art, they were at least at the Yu Xingyuan Fourteenth Layer strength.

With such strength, they could live for one or two hundred million years or even longer.

"If there were no Great Nirvana, and the Shanhai Realm had transformed into a Holy Land..."

This thought suddenly arose in Lin Qing's heart.

A Holy Land Founder could protect those around him from the Yu Xingyuan Demon invasions brought by time.

It's just that when the Great Nirvana arrives, even a Holy Land Founder cannot protect anyone.

But if the Void Sea would not welcome the Great Nirvana, and the Shanhai Realm gave birth to a Holy Land Founder, wouldn't that solve this problem?

"Sigh..."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly, also somewhat helpless.

Anyone can think of a method, but in the Void Sea over countless years, there were only three Holy Land Founders.

Let alone stopping the Great Nirvana?

That was the Great Nirvana launched by the Yu Xingyuan Monarch; by what right could he stop it?

"Unless a Chaos God sent by a Level Three Civilization is willing to become a Main God in this Void Sea, and by leveraging the connection with the Level Three Civilization, transfers part of the Void Sea's Origin, only then will the Yu Xingyuan Monarch not launch the Great Nirvana, and only then is it possible to delay the Great Nirvana by hundreds of millions of years..."

Lin Qing sighed helplessly.

He only knew one Main God, Lord Mirror, and didn't know any other Main Gods at all.

And the Destruction-type Chaos God born in this era also seemed to come from a Level Three Civilization, but it appeared he was simply unwilling to help.

What could he do?

"I can only do my best..."

Lin Qing suppressed his thoughts and glanced at the three phantoms before him representing three futures.

He didn't hesitate and immediately walked toward that phantom.

This phantom represented a superior reward; although the difficulty of surpassing this future was very high and he couldn't think of a method, he had to try at least.

This trial could simulate and experience a future once in advance; he could use this to try his best to change the future.

It seemed like a trial, but if the future predicted by Light King was true, it would be a tremendous benefit!

Moreover, ordinary rewards wouldn't be that useful to him; naturally, he was going for the highest reward, and could also use this to try to change the future.

"I wonder if the Entropy Reverser can be used in the simulated future?" Lin Qing couldn't help but mutter to himself.

The next moment, he had already merged with that phantom, and his entire person fell into the simulated illusory future.

This Kingdom of Kings world, which jumped out of the timeline and was located outside the universe, was a small universe; it also had a universe of stars and endless stars, only the universe structure was different from the real universe.

And in the depths of the space at the highest point of the Kingdom of Kings, a temple radiating endless light floated; its light pierced through time and space, nearly illuminating the entire universe.

This temple seemed hidden within the cracks of time and space, connecting to the end of time, and also represented one of the three Kings with the most special status in the Kingdom of Kings.

Suddenly—

"Hmm?"

A voice tinged with confusion suddenly came from the depths of the temple; immediately, the entire temple began to tremble wildly as if out of control.

The guards outside the temple couldn't help but feel somewhat shocked and panicked.

What is happening to His Majesty the Great Light King?

"Pity..."

Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes; there was a trace of regret and helplessness in them, and he couldn't help but sigh to himself: "Still failed... that Destruction-type Main God was simply unwilling to help, or perhaps couldn't help?"

Just now, he had experienced a simulated future once.

Although the Entropy Reverser could still be used, he still failed; ultimately, he couldn't change the future and couldn't stop the Great Nirvana at all.

"Failed."

Lin Qing sighed.

Compared to the failure of the trial, he was more helpless that the plan he considered most likely had failed.

The Void Sea still welcomed the Great Nirvana.

"However, at least I have experience now; I can only think of a way again..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath; although this Sovereign-level trial failed, he did not regret it.

In the simulated future, he experienced the process of becoming a Chaos God once; although he nearly failed, it still counted as having experience.

If he did it again, he would know what to do to have the greatest certainty.

This was the greatest benefit!

"Failure is failure."

Lin Qing's state of mind was remarkably calm. "The gains this time are already great enough."

Not only was there a set of Chaos Divine Artifacts, but also the Thousand Illusions Ice World, plus the benefits of the Black Flame Clan's clone; the rewards had already exceeded expectations.

"Voom..."

With the failure of this final trial, Lin Qing also felt the space-time around him begin to twist; clearly, it was about to send him back to the True Universe.

In an instant, darkness suddenly fell before his eyes. When it lit up again, Lin Qing could not help but be stunned.

For he discovered he had not been teleported back to the True Universe.

Instead, he was inside a towering, majestic temple, with countless pearl-like orbs hanging around him, each more dazzling than a star.

"This place is..."

Lin Qing suddenly noticed that upon the massive Wang Zuo at the front of the temple sat a towering figure, the entire person shrouded in endless light, as if... observing him?
