Chapter 326: The Change of the Entropy Reverser

On the night before his departure, after the sun of the Mountain and Sea Realm set, Lin Qing went to the Void Great Tomb once more.

As Princess Su had said, he needed to find her before his reincarnation and departure.

"You are going to the King Realm?"

Princess Su sized up Lin Qing, seeming to hesitate, and only after a long while spoke softly: "I do not know if this decision is right or wrong, but I never expected that after waiting just over twenty billion years, the Primordial Realm could meet a genius like you."

She sighed: "Your talent would have been outstanding even in the Primordial Realm of the past, and you possess the talent of Future Rules. According to the rules, handing you the object left by my father is reasonable and justified."

"What?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.

He now understood that although the Void Great Tomb was considered a treasure, it mainly consisted of inheritances within the tombs; true treasures from the Chaos were very rare, merely a few rare funeral objects.

These remaining treasures could only be obtained by heirs recognized by the Primordial Realm.

Otherwise, if any Level Three Civilization truly wanted to forcibly seize them, the current Primordial Realm could not stop them.

After all, every Level Three Civilization possessed multiple Ultimate Existences.

Even if the barriers of universal rules prevented their descent, the Void Great Tomb could not stop them.

"It is a rare treasure containing complete Future Rules. Combined with your position as a God of the Myriad, it will be greatly beneficial for comprehending Future Rules."

Princess Su said: "I am unclear of its origin, but this object was obtained by the Three Emperors of our Primordial Realm just after the end of the Ancient Universe era. Even the Future Realm God of the Void God Clan once borrowed it from our Primordial Realm, studied it for thirty-eight billion years, and only returned it to our Primordial Realm after finding it useless."

"Oh?" Lin Qing could not help but feel curious.

Every Ultimate Existence mastered complete Space-Time Rules.

The Future Realm God certainly mastered complete Future Rules; logically, a treasure containing Future Rules should have held no value for comprehension for that Future Realm God.

Yet that Future Realm God still studied it for thirty-eight billion years?

Thirty-eight billion years was an incredibly long time.

The Void Sea of this epoch was only over eight billion years!

"If I were to lose such a precious treasure..." Lin Qing could not help but say.

"If it is lost, then it is lost."

Princess Su shook her head slightly. "It is said to be precious, but aside from aiding the comprehension of Future Rules, it has no other function whatsoever. My father and the others never told me its origin. Even that Future Realm God gave up on it; what use does the current Primordial Realm have for it?"

She looked at Lin Qing. "Now that the Primordial Realm no longer exists, I cannot give you much. Consider this object compensation; take it."

As she spoke, Princess Su tapped her fingertip, and an irregular, gray, misty lump like crushed stone appeared out of thin air. The moment it appeared, the surrounding space-time froze, as if forming a boundary like a cosmic membrane that perfectly enveloped it, leaking not a trace of aura.

It looked as if it existed in another layer of space-time, in another universe.

Lin Qing was just about to reach out to catch it when he heard Princess Su say: "Use your Space-Time Domain, otherwise you cannot touch it."

"Oh?" A miniature Space-Time Domain immediately formed on the surface of Lin Qing's palm.

Although he felt no physical object, he sensed something appearing within the Space-Time Domain; only power on the space-time level could contact it!

Immediately, Lin Qing attempted to use his Space-Time Domain to penetrate the gray, misty crushed stone.

In that very instant—

【All phenomena tend toward chaos; only Order is eternal.】

【When you hold Order in your hand, the future becomes clearly visible; you can reverse cause and effect, pluck the fruit, and draw upon the future.】

【The Entropy Reverser is activating...】

At this moment, a massive torrent of symbols, text, and other information that he could not clearly see flooded before Lin Qing's eyes like a waterfall.

"What is happening?"

Lin Qing was utterly shocked. "This... why did the Entropy Reverser activate on its own?"

In the past, every time he activated the Entropy Reverser, he had to silently chant "Order" in his heart, but this time he had not thought of activating the Entropy Reverser at all, yet it manifested on its own?

Since he obtained the Entropy Reverser, such a thing had never happened!

The Entropy Reverser was his greatest secret and his most important reliance; its status was so high that no existence had ever discovered it, yet now it had changed because of this crushed stone of unknown origin?

At this moment, the many text symbols manifested by the Entropy Reverser were increasing, as if some unknown change was occurring?

"What's wrong?"

Due to the overwhelming shock, Lin Qing failed to control his expression, and Princess Su noticed his surprise, prompting her to ask.

"It is too incredible..." Lin Qing took a deep breath and said: "Even my Space-Time Domain cannot contact the object itself; it is as if it does not exist?"

Princess Su nodded slightly and said: "Of course. This crushed stone naturally formed a cosmic boundary, like a super-miniature universe. Only a Chaos Being can contact the object itself by borrowing Space-Time Rules; you are merely holding up the universe in which it resides."

Lin Qing understood.

Chaos Beings were also known as Transcendents.

They were beings capable of transcending the universe and walking in the endless Chaos outside the universe.

"Truly incredible."

Lin Qing sighed, then smoothly changed the subject: "However, how do I take it with me when I reincarnate to the King Realm?"

"Do you not have your Innate Universe Treasure?" Princess Su said. "The interior of an Innate Universe Treasure forms its own space-time. You only need to carve out a storage space within your Innate Treasure, and you can reincarnate carrying whatever you need to take with you."

"Carve out a space within the Innate Treasure?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.

"You certainly cannot do it with your own strength; this requires a rare treasure originating from the Chaos." Princess Su said casually: "There is still stock available, so I will give it to you."

Saying this, she turned her hand and produced a strange, silver-gray, hexagonal prism-like rare material, handing it to Lin Qing. "Let your Innate Universe Treasure absorb this 'Flower of Realm-Space', and it will carve out a space of roughly tens of thousands of kilometers."

Hearing this, Lin Qing immediately took it and asked: "Can it carry people?"

"Yes."

Princess Su said: "But outsiders cannot enter the King Realm due to the constraints of universal rules and the xenophobia of Level Three Civilization universal rules, unless the being you carry is a Transcendent, possesses an introduction mark of the King Realm, or is a native being of a Level Three Civilization."

"Alright." Lin Qing shook his head slightly and said: "Being able to carry inanimate objects is good enough."

He put away the Realm-Space Stone, then looked at Princess Su and asked: "Is there anything you need me to do in the King Realm?"

"Quite smart. Since I gave you so many benefits, there are indeed two things I need you to do." Princess Su smiled.

"Please speak, Your Highness." Lin Qing was not at all surprised.

Princess Su immediately said, "First, when the Primordial Realm fell back then, some subjects from the Outer Realms who had received its grace were scattered across various Level-3 civilizations; there should be quite a few still alive today." She looked at Lin Qing. "As subjects of the Outer Realms, they were required to pay tribute to the Primordial Realm. You can have them continue paying tribute, or you can reclaim the Guidance Seals bestowed upon them by the Primordial Realm."

"The Primordial Realm is gone; reclaiming them won't be of much use, right?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.

"Of course it is useful."

Princess Su said, "The Primordial Realm was, after all, the first Level-3 civilization of the Human Race; it can even be said to be the beginning of the Human Race, appearing alongside the birth of the universe. There are treasure grounds left behind by the Primordial Realm in the small universes of the Human Race and even other races. Even now that the Primordial Realm has fallen, those treasure grounds will not be destroyed."

She looked at Lin Qing and said, "Those subjects of the Outer Realms can still use the Primordial Realm's Guidance Seals to enter and exit those treasure grounds. Moreover, now that the Primordial Realm is gone, some treasure grounds unique to the Primordial Realm are enjoyed exclusively by them. If they continue to pay tribute, they are still considered subjects of the Outer Realms; otherwise, they must return the Primordial Realm's Guidance Seals."

Immediately, Princess Su pointed her fingertip at Lin Qing and said, "This ability has already been added to the Heart of Boundlessness within you. When you and these subjects of the Outer Realms are in the same world, you can discover their existence through the Heart of Boundlessness and possess the ability to reclaim the Primordial Realm Seals."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and sighed, "It seems this is a job that will make people hate me. The Primordial Realm is gone; they probably won't be willing to pay tribute to a small kid like me."

"Indeed so." Princess Su smiled and said, "So this depends on you. If you can make them pay tribute, the treasures they pay will belong to you. If you can reclaim the Guidance Seals, you can decide their fate yourself and bestow them upon others."

Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Then can I enter those treasure grounds of the Primordial Realm?"

"Of course. You are a subject of the Primordial Realm, and a Gravekeeper with extremely high authority."

Princess Su said, "However, apart from a few treasure grounds personally sealed by my father and the others, which outsiders cannot break, after the fall of the Primordial Realm, the other treasure grounds have likely already been infiltrated and divided. Even if you can enter, you cannot enjoy them exclusively."

Lin Qing nodded, committing it to memory, and asked again, "What about the second matter?"

"That can only be done once your strength is sufficient."

Princess Su said, "Back then, the Primordial Realm lent many treasures to the great powers of other civilizations, and each of them was an Ultimate Existence. With your current strength, going to ask them for them back would be asking for trouble."

Lin Qing was stunned: "Ultimate Existence?"

With his current strength, he could only bully some relatively weak Chaos Beings; against truly powerful Chaos Beings and even Eternal Existences, he could only step back in fear.

As for Ultimate Existences?

Could he dare to provoke such beings who create universes?

"Alright."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly. "Is there anything else?"

Princess Su said casually, "No. With your current strength, you can't help much. If you can become an Ultimate Existence, then it will be different."

Lin Qing didn't want to think about it further and simply nodded.

"Go."

Princess Su glanced at him. "Remember not to disgrace the name of the Primordial Realm."

……

After Lin Qing left the Vacuum Great Tomb, he immediately returned to the Shanhai Realm.

At this moment, the vast amount of text and symbols constantly appearing before his eyes had vanished, transforming instead into a new line of text:

【Detected absorbable portion of Origin】

"Absorbable portion of Origin?"

Looking at the mysterious gray gravel held in his hand, supported by the Space-Time Domain, Lin Qing found it hard to believe: "Can the Entropy Reverser absorb this?"

Even that mysterious gravel which the Future Realm God studied for thirty-eight billion years without figuring out anything, the Entropy Reverser can actually absorb?

A portion of the Origin?

At this moment, he became even more certain that the Entropy Reverser's origins were extraordinary.

"Pity, I cannot touch this thing yet."

Lin Qing couldn't help but feel regretful. "I can only absorb it after transcending the universe."

He immediately activated the Life-Defining Universe Treasure that had merged into the depths of his soul and began to absorb that 'Flower of Realm-Space'.

In a short while, a space roughly tens of thousands of kilometers in size was opened up inside the Life-Defining Universe Treasure, empty and dark, deep and profound.

Lin Qing placed the mysterious gray gravel and the Heart of Boundlessness inside it.

Afterwards, he extracted a piece of land tens of thousands of kilometers in size from the earth of the Shanhai Realm, including the soil, lakes, mountains, snowfields, and so on, and moved them into the space within the Life-Defining Universe Treasure.

Immediately, he looked at the city modeled after the former Lin'an City on Earth. With a thought, he used invisible spatial power to shrink the city to the size of a palm and stored it back inside the space.

"Time to go."

Lin Qing took one last look at this Shanhai Realm that had nurtured him, looking at the cities on the peak of Mount Buzhou and the subjects who had admired him for over a million years, as if seeing the Earth of the past.

He had already bid farewell to his family and friends.

This vast world, his hometown, his root... now had to face the moment of parting.

"I will return in the future..."

Lin Qing's figure moved, and he had already vanished from the Shanhai Realm.

At the peak of Mount Buzhou, Shen Jingjing suddenly turned her head. As the Lord of the World, she clearly sensed her Master's aura leaving the Shanhai Realm.

"Master..."

……

Void Sea.

Lin Qing stood suspended in the air. Figures one by one shot through the gaps of space and time, merging into his body.

Once the Reincarnation Technique is cast, life will completely disintegrate and scatter. Even with a clone, the clone will also scatter along with it; the soul will dissipate by a large margin, leaving only a small essence and consciousness behind, which will then re-merge into the Origin of a world, and upon being born again, become a native being.

This is the miracle of the Reincarnation Technique.

Normally, the world barriers of a Level-2 civilization cannot block his reincarnation, but the small universes of Level-3 civilizations lie outside the Chaos. He cannot transcend them, nor can he find where the King of the Ranks is; he can only rely on the Light King Token to reincarnate into the Realm of the Ranks.

Therefore, the main function of the Light King Token is to provide direction and identity authentication; otherwise, an external soul would be utterly impossible to merge into the universe origin of the Realm of the Ranks.

"Let's go."

With a thought, Lin Qing activated the Light King Token while simultaneously casting the Reincarnation Technique. His entire body turned into nothingness, and his soul almost completely dissipated.

Only a thread of Origin remained, carrying the Life-Defining Universe Treasure that had merged with his soul. It immediately shot through space and time, instantly breaking through the universe's boundary, heading towards the endless Chaos outside the universe, and directly entering a small universe located within that endless Chaos.

Afterwards, it merged into the origin of this universe.
