Chapter 350: Now Under the Protection of the Realm God?

After obtaining the Dice of Fate, Lin Qing began to focus on studying this extraordinary treasure imbued with the power of future rules.

Such naturally occurring extraordinary treasures, born from the universe's primordial source, can only function within the universe's bounds and hold limited value—eternal beings have no interest in them.

Even abilities tied to future rules are exceedingly rare and thus carry little value.

Very few use them to study the inner workings of future rules, since practitioners of future rules are themselves exceedingly rare.

"The sentience within this Dice of Fate is likely a fusion of a small amount of the 'Future Sight' mystery and a certain degree of the 'Future Form' mystery."

After careful study, Lin Qing quickly determined the future rule mysteries contained within this Dice of Fate.

Pure 'Future Sight' mystery can only allow one to glimpse the future.

But this Dice of Fate can also trigger calamity or fortune—clearly involving the alteration of the future, which only the 'Future Form' mystery can accomplish.

"The future sight mystery stored in this die is too minimal to help much with the bottleneck of future sight—but… once I reach the bottleneck of future form, it may still aid me."

Lin Qing was not in a hurry and continued to contemplate the faint future sight mystery within the Dice of Fate.

Just a few days later, Lin Qing fully understood this faint future sight mystery, deepening his comprehension of the future sight mystery.

Unfortunately…

This slight progress still left a considerable distance from true perfection.

However, not long after, Fushan Bo had already negotiated with his friend on Tiancui Star and purchased the extraordinary treasure imbued with future rules.

"Mr. Qin Lin, this extraordinary treasure is called 'Dream Shadow Realm'—it can deduce the most suitable and superior divine art for oneself, offering inspiration."

Fushan Bo handed Lin Qing a small, exquisitely crafted hexagonal crystal column and said, "But the divine art created with this treasure cannot exceed one's own comprehension limit, and at most can integrate only one perfected space-time mystery—it cannot create the strongest divine art that fuses complete space-time rules, so eternal beings and powerful peak chaotic beings have no interest in it."

Lin Qing took the hexagonal crystal column, stroking it, and asked, "How much is this treasure worth?"

"Ten thousand cosmic sands," Fushan Bo smiled.

"How could such an extraordinary treasure cost only ten thousand cosmic sands? Even adding a zero wouldn't be enough!" Lin Qing looked at Fushan Bo.

Though this treasure has limitations, for ordinary high-level chaotic beings, it saves considerable time in self-creating divine arts and enables the creation of various divine arts—it still holds some value.

Ten thousand cosmic sands would be a steal.

"No, I mean lend it."

Fushan Bo shook his head with a smile. "Since Mr. Qin Lin only intends to contemplate it, once you've succeeded, you'll naturally return it to me—it's a loan, so why charge too much?"

"Fine. Rent is ten thousand cosmic sands," Lin Qing nodded slightly, knowing he had gained a slight advantage.

The key point was that Fushan Bo himself had no use for this treasure—he bought it solely to help him.

"Also, I've inquired with several friends," Fushan Bo said. "Extraordinary treasures imbued with future rules are exceedingly rare. If Mr. Qin Lin still needs more, you may go to the Xianlian Shengxing in my Xinglian Province and attend the Xianlian Shengxing Exchange Meeting—you'll likely find something there."

"Xianlian Shengxing Exchange Meeting?" Lin Qing frowned in confusion.

He knew of the Xianlian Shengxing.

Life planets in the Sovereign Realm are divided into five tiers; the lowest is Tier-Three, while Tier-One planets like Jueying Star are rare—across an entire province's starry expanse, there are often only a few thousand Tier-One planets.

As for the Xianlian Shengxing, it is the essence of a province's starry domain—often only a handful exist per vast starry province, granted by the Sovereign Realm as fiefs to eternal beings.

Regardless of whether an eternal being wishes to rule a province's starry domain, they at least receive one Xianlian Shengxing.

The Xianlian Shengxing possesses great wonders, connected to the boundless chaos beyond the universe, naturally giving rise to various sacred sites and usable for cultivating treasures derived from chaos.

Above the Xianlian Shengxing lie the Ultimate Beings' 'Imperial Stars'—the entire Frozen Empire has only two Imperial Stars.

For Xinglian Province, the number of Holy Stars is also extremely scarce; the Xinglian Marquis's Xinglian Xianlian Shengxing is considered the sacred ground of the entire province.

Thus, the Xinglian Xianlian Shengxing is also the gathering place of the province's elites, the most prosperous.

So what exactly is this 'Xianlian Shengxing Exchange Meeting'?

"The Xianlian Shengxing Exchange Meeting is a grand event jointly hosted by multiple provinces."

Fushan Bo explained. "This meeting, for instance, is organized by over a dozen provinces including Xinglian. Attendees are all elite figures from each province; various factions will seize the opportunity to recruit talent, and many transactions will occur—it's also a form of preparation for war."

"War?" Lin Qing understood.

He knew that within the Sovereign Realm, wars were frequent, and internal conflicts among nations never ceased—after each province rested for a period, it had to draw lots to participate in war, resulting in brutal, chaotic battles among provinces.

It seemed Xinglian Province, having rested for nearly a hundred million years, had finally been drawn.

So this Xianlian Shengxing Exchange Meeting was preparation for war?

"The main force in provincial wars consists of high-level chaotic beings—even eternal beings will enter the battlefield during the final showdown."

Fushan Bo sighed. "I hear that within one or two million years at most, the spatial-temporal boundaries of these dozen provinces selected for war will vanish—then… the dozen provinces will merge, Xinglian Province will be fully engulfed in provincial war, and Holy Stars and Tier-One Stars will become primary battlefields."

"One or two million years?" Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Perhaps to other high-level chaotic beings, one or two million years is too brief to matter.

But for him, his entire life spans only a few million years—one or two million years is already a long time.

If things go well, perhaps by then he might break through and become a high-level chaotic being himself.

"Will Mr. Qin Lin attend the Exchange Meeting?" Fushan Bo asked.

"Of course," Lin Qing nodded. "When does it begin?"

"In just two or three ten thousand years," Fushan Bo said. "Do you have enough cosmic sands? Such extraordinary treasures imbued with future rule power usually start at ten thousand cosmic sands."

"No problem," Lin Qing shook his head. "I inherited the relics of Yan Xue Bo and his junior disciple—I have some savings."

"True enough," Fushan Bo said. "As a disciple of the Blood Sea Marquis, your wealth is certainly substantial—but you may also attract attention from the Blood Sea Marquis's agents. Be cautious, Mr. Qin Lin."

Lin Qing nodded.

He had left his Black Flame avatar on Jueying Star, while his true body had long ago hidden with numerous treasures on a Tier-Three Star at the border of Xinglian Province.

His Blood Cauldron King avatar was also concealed on a more distant Tier-One Star.

The Black Flame avatar's gene quality was high, with the strongest comprehension and mental processing speed—it remained on Jueying Star specifically to contemplate these extraordinary treasures imbued with future rule mysteries.

"Still, I must find a way to handle the relics of Yan Xue Bo and his junior disciple…" Lin Qing mused inwardly.

……

……

In the distant starry sky, on a third-class star tens of thousands of light-years away from Jueying Star.

This third-class star, designated C544670, has a diameter of merely several million kilometers; its rule suppression is comparable to the Void Sea. Most inhabitants are merely Star Beings; even if Void Beings are occasionally born, they must leave this planet.

At this moment, deep within a city on this third-class star, inside a skyscraper.

"The legacy treasures of Yan Xue Bo and his senior brother are quite valuable..."

Lin Qing clicked his tongue in admiration. "Just the portion I can confirm the value of could sell for over six hundred thousand Universal Sands. The most precious part is the uncertain portion, especially..."

He flipped his hand, and a white feather, light as nothing, appeared in his palm.

With careful perception, one could sense the terrifying power hidden deep within this feather, far exceeding that of High-Order Chaos Beings by an incalculable margin. Even the Eternal Existence of the Myriad Phenomena World Group he had once seen would, in essence, likely not compare to the power of this feather.

With a single thought, Lin Qing could activate the power within the feather, empower himself, and then traverse time and space with it.

This was clearly an escape treasure, and of very high grade; it was absolutely the most precious treasure on Yan Xue Bo's person.

Unfortunately, Yan Xue Bo encountered the Great Extinction of the Illusory World. In an instant, his mind was shattered; he had no time to activate it before his consciousness was annihilated.

"How should I handle this?"

After pondering for a while, Lin Qing formed a plan and immediately began sending a message through the Second Universe Network.

Merely half a day later.
