Chapter 339: Ascend to the Position of the Main God!

"Indeed, it is testing your talent."

Xu Qingzhi sighed, "But you have not yet begun to cultivate the rules of time and space, so you do not understand how difficult this truly is. Among the three paths of time, the rule of the future is inherently the most incomprehensibly difficult path; cultivating it is the slowest. It is perfectly normal for it to be ten or even a hundred times slower than cultivating the rule of the present."

She looked at Lin Qing, shook her head, and said, "Future Sight, Future Body, and Descending into the Future—these three great mysteries of the future are each more difficult than the last. Yet Your Majesty the Light King actually demands you succeed within thirty-eight million years?"

"Then to what level must I cultivate to succeed?" Lin Qing could not help but ask curiously, "Does it require both the mysteries of Future Sight and Future Body to be perfected?"

"This... I am not entirely sure."

Xu Qingzhi was also somewhat hesitant, then said, "I merely saw the future of the Radiant Wang Zhu. I estimate that for Future Sight, just crossing the threshold will suffice. However, to prevent the destruction of Wang Zhu in the future, the mystery of 'Future Body' must reach the level of minor accomplishment."

Lin Qing looked at her strangely.

Didn't she say she wasn't sure? How did she suddenly become sure?

However, he could guess that Xu Qingzhi must have gone to consult someone else.

"Crossing the threshold? Minor accomplishment?" Lin Qing asked, "Is the mystery of the time rules divided this way?"

Xu Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "When comprehending the mysteries of the time rules, as one delves deeper, each mystery not only becomes increasingly powerful but also undergoes subtle changes. For instance, with the mystery of Time Acceleration, upon merely crossing the threshold, one can only accelerate oneself. Upon reaching minor accomplishment, a Time Acceleration Domain forms. Upon perfection, one can even create areas with different flow rates within the domain."

She looked at Lin Qing and said, "The mystery of Future Sight is the same. The deeper one comprehends, the more future lines one can see, and the further into the future one can see. However, at the entry level, one can only see static images. At minor accomplishment, the future seen becomes more real, like actual audio and video. Upon perfection, one can even sense specific auras and the like."

Lin Qing understood.

So this is the distinction between entry level, minor accomplishment, and perfection?

"What about Future Body?" Lin Qing said.

Xu Qingzhi pretended to ponder for a short while, then relayed, "At the entry level, Future Body can only hide within a future line. It can only be used to preserve one's life and cannot influence the future. Therefore, one must wait until Future Body reaches minor accomplishment to achieve this."

Lin Qing nodded thoughtfully, his mind forming a relatively clear understanding of his cultivation plan for the time being.

"Thank you for the guidance." Lin Qing offered his thanks and sighed, "Had Miss Xu not guided me, I truly would not have known what to do."

Xu Qingzhi shook her head slightly and said, "Your Majesty the Light King must know that you and I are acquainted and that you are capable of investigating such matters, which is why he acted thus. Besides, it is merely some information."

Although knowledge in the Realm of the Kings requires payment, such information is something ordinary chaotic beings must also spend money to purchase.

But she certainly would not make Lin Qing pay anything for such a small sum.

"Let us speak of that 'Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower'."

Xu Qingzhi said, "The Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower is also one of the special treasures in the universe of the Realm of the Kings. It is extremely rare, but it contains boundless characteristics. Before blooming, it exists in a void-spirit state, scattered throughout the entire universe. It only converges at the instant of blooming, emerging from the void, yet it blooms for only a single instant—a moment so brief it is infinitely small. Therefore, it is extremely difficult to find its existence."

"Can Future Sight be used to search for it in advance?" Lin Qing asked.

Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said, "Future Sight also requires a definite target. Before the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower blooms, it is purely a void existence. No one knows when or where in the universe of the Realm of the Kings it will be born and bloom."

She looked at Lin Qing. "Unless you can observe the future of the entire universe, it is impossible to search for it. Even with the source force Your Majesty the Light King gave you, you can only sense its existence at the very instant it blooms."

Lin Qing could not help but be slightly stunned.

He pondered for a moment and said, "It seems Your Majesty the Light King asked me to find the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower to test whether I have mastered the mystery of 'Descending into the Future'."

"Clever."

Xu Qingzhi smiled and nodded, saying, "Indeed. The Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower blooms only after an unknown length of time and can appear anywhere in the universe of the Realm of the Kings. To find its existence using only 'Future Sight'? Only an ultimate existence who cultivates the rules of the future could achieve that."

"But if one has the mystery of 'Descending into the Future', one can let consciousness descend into the future and live in the future." Xu Qingzhi said. "In this way, you can determine the time and location of the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower's blooming in the future and lie in wait in advance."

"I see..."

Lin Qing understood, then asked curiously again, "This mystery of Descending into the Future sounds somewhat like Future Body? Can't Future Body also enter the future?"

"Of course, they are not the same." Xu Qingzhi said. "Future Body only enters a certain time point in the future. It is said that the space-time at that point is static. You can only wait for the flow of time in reality until the present meets the future. Moreover, one cannot enter a future that is too distant."

"Then I understand."

Lin Qing nodded in understanding. Wasn't this the simulated future he had experienced?

He asked again, "To obtain the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower, must one understand 'Descending into the Future'?"

"Indeed." Xu Qingzhi sighed, "It is said that even an ultimate existence who cultivates the rules of the present finds it difficult to obtain the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower."

"Even an ultimate existence cannot catch it?" Lin Qing exclaimed in surprise.

"Because the instant the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower is born is truly too brief." Xu Qingzhi said. "Even if an ultimate existence can instantly sense the existence of the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower, teleporting over takes a moment. By then, the void flower has already withered, reverted to its boundless form, and scattered across the entire universe."

"Doesn't the rule of the present have Time Stop and Time Reversal?" Lin Qing asked.

"That cannot stop or reverse the time of the entire universe." Xu Qingzhi said. "The area where time stops or reverses is only so large. Before the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower converges or after it withers, it is scattered across the entire universe. Once it withers, it is too late."

Lin Qing understood.

"However, if one uses the mystery of 'Descending into the Past' from the rule of the past, one can temporarily obtain the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower." Xu Qingzhi said. "Although one cannot bring the void flower from the past to the present, one can use the void flower in the past universe."

Listening to these matters regarding the mysteries of time, Lin Qing found himself listening with great interest.

It sounded as though the three paths of the time rules each had their own specialties, and the most difficult to cultivate, the rule of the future, was indeed sufficiently perverted.

"The mystery of Descending into the Future is the most difficult to cultivate among the three great mysteries of the rule of the future." Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said. "To find the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower, the mystery of Descending into the Future is simply not enough. I fear you must cultivate to minor accomplishment, where you can truly command your body in the future."

"Plus the secret technique you mentioned earlier, the cultivation difficulty is certainly outrageous." She sighed, "With only thirty-eight million years, the difficulty is too absurd. Thirty-eight million years; if one can merely cross the threshold for any mystery, one would already be considered a top genius in the field of the rule of the future."

"With the help of the position of the God of the Main God, it should be alright, right?" Lin Qing said.

"That is different."

Xu Qingzhi sighed, "If it were the rule of the present, I would think you still have hope. But for the cultivation of the rule of the future, the greatest difficulty is not comprehending the mysteries of the rule of the future, but the danger of losing oneself in the future!"

"Losing oneself in the future?" Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Yes."

Xu Qingzhi sighed, "The future is inherently a non-existent, illusory place possessing infinite possibilities. Cultivating the rule of the future requires consciousness to delve deep into the future, far from reality. As cultivation deepens, even any genius must be careful to avoid their consciousness getting lost in the future. At best, they go mad; at worst, their consciousness is annihilated!"

"I see..." Lin Qing suddenly understood somewhat. "No wonder Your Majesty would test me thus..."

Because he would not get lost in the future at all!

When Your Majesty the Light King previously asked him to attempt a simulated future, that point had already been confirmed.

"Therefore, the difficulty Your Majesty the Light King set for you is truly outrageous." Xu Qingzhi said. "Even if you fail, it is perfectly normal. You need not have any psychological burden."

"Thank you for the instruction."
