Chapter 352: Like Yu Gong

A towering divine palace occupying a range of ten trillion li stood in the depths of the starry sky, and the space-time around it naturally twisted due to its vast power.

Deep within the palace, in a sea, a man whose body was shrouded in strange light and who had wings on his back stood by the shore, quietly gazing at this pure, clear, and tranquil ocean.

Suddenly, a peerlessly beautiful woman, also with wings on her back, fluttered down, and respectfully said, "Like Yu Gong."

"Have you found out?" Like Yu Gong said in a faint voice.

"Yes."

That peerlessly beautiful woman respectfully said, "Qin Lin, who annihilated Yan Xue Bo, indeed used the Will Secret Art of Illusory World Great Extinction. After investigation, he should be from a Void Sea under the jurisdiction of the Frozen Empire in the Realm of Kings. His true name is Lin Qing. He only recently became the Life System Main God of that Void Sea. He was most likely favored by the Light King and reincarnated into the Realm of Kings. Initially, he appeared in the Survival World of the Wanxiang World Group and, using the will that influences the River of Space-Time, completed a nearly impossible task. This should be the Light King's test."

"The Light King's test? Interesting..." Like Yu Gong's eyes flickered with a hint of coldness as he asked, "What is this Lin Qing's true strength?"

"Uncertain, but according to speculation, the benefit the Light King gave him in the test was bloodline; that should be at least the first-generation bloodline of a Chaos Creature."

That peerlessly beautiful woman pondered and said, "Plus, he possesses a Native Universe Supreme Treasure and a Supreme Secret Art. Once the Illusory World Great Extinction is unleashed, even if he cannot directly annihilate an enemy's consciousness, he should still be stronger than ordinary high-level Chaos Creatures."

"What a peerless genius." Like Yu Gong nodded slightly. "Coming from such a resource-poor place as the Main Universe, yet possessing such talent; no wonder he was favored by the Light King."

The corner of his mouth slowly rose. "Pity that such a genius has not yet risen before being cut down halfway."

"Does Like Yu Gong intend to kill him?" That peerlessly beautiful woman asked in surprise. "For the sake of that Yan Xue Bo?"

"How could that be?"

Like Yu Gong said in a faint voice, "I don't even know who that Yan Xue Bo is. What he received was merely a Feather of the Endless Horizon that I left behind out of a sudden whim. Whether he lives or dies has nothing to do with me."

His eyes gradually turned cold. "I merely wish to collect a little interest from this Light King Your Majesty. The humiliation of those years... If the Realm of Kings is not destroyed, how could I rest?"

"But... if Like Yu Gong personally kills that Lin Qing, the Light King will likely intervene and imprison you again."

That peerlessly beautiful woman respectfully said, "This subordinate is willing to relieve Like Yu Gong of this burden."

"No need." Like Yu Gong glanced at that peerlessly beautiful woman and said indifferently, "This Light King Your Majesty has likely already seen the future. The future lines where you and I act are all within his sight. He already despises me and will surely take precautions in advance; he will not allow me to recklessly ruin his good deeds."

"Then..." That peerlessly beautiful woman frowned.

Like Yu Gong sneered and said, "As long as an existence outside his observation range interferes, it will not be within his observation."

He waved his sleeve, and a feather shimmering with seven colors appeared in the void. This feather seemed not to exist in reality; not only did it not emit a trace of aura, but it did not even cause the slightest change in space-time!

"The feather of the Present World Father God?" The peerlessly beautiful woman exclaimed in shock.

"The reason I could take revenge on the Tian Guang Divine Kingdom back then and avoid the Light King's prediction was because of these three feathers bestowed upon me by the Father God."

Like Yu Gong said indifferently, "Pity that I am ultimately not an Ultimate Existence. Even with the Father God's feathers interfering with the future lines, my own aura cannot be hidden from the Light King's perception. Once I approach that Lin Qing, the Light King will likely act."

He glanced at that peerlessly beautiful woman. "The same applies to you all, those around me. Even if he cannot predict your futures, he can still sense your auras."

"This subordinate can use a Dream Avatar to ask someone to deal with that Lin Qing." The peerlessly beautiful woman respectfully said.

"Hmm, that is the only way."

Like Yu Gong nodded slightly and added, "Take along a drop of 'Eternal Divine Blood'. That Lin Qing has a Main God Avatar; he cannot be killed at all. We can only cripple him. After sealing him, let him directly absorb a drop of Eternal Divine Blood to grant him the Eternal Divine Seat."

The peerlessly beautiful woman nodded.

For ordinary Transcendents, if they could obtain the 'Eternal Divine Seat' and become one of the thirty-eight million Envoy Gods established by the Void God Clan, it would be a long-sought great opportunity.

But for a peerless talent who could already achieve Eternity, this would be equivalent to cutting off their future path.

The consciousness of an Envoy God would be forever imprisoned within the Cosmic Tree of the Void God Clan. Moreover, their strength would be equivalent to a weak Eternal Existence; they could not refine any bloodline and had no divine office.

The only benefit is that they can live forever in the Chaos, but they must also patrol the endless Chaos for the Void God Clan.

A peerless genius absorbing a drop of Eternal Divine Blood and becoming an Envoy God—that would be crippling him, wouldn't it?

"However... when the Eternal Divine Blood is integrated, there must not be the slightest resistance; this means he must be sealed first."

The peerlessly beautiful woman said, "In that case, asking an Eternal Existence to act should be the safest. Does Like Yu Gong have any suitable candidates?"

"We cannot let an Eternal Existence act." Like Yu Gong said in a faint voice. "If the Light King values this Lin Qing, he will surely spare a trace of his will to guard against him at all times. As long as a suspicious Eternal Existence approaches Lin Qing, the Light King will likely be prepared."

He squinted slightly. "Therefore, it is best to choose someone who acts within reason to attack that Lin Qing. This person must possess sufficient strength; once they seize the opportunity, they will be sure to seal that Lin Qing."

"This... I have it." The peerlessly beautiful woman's eyes suddenly lit up as she said, "Like Yu Gong, I have thought of a candidate."

"Tell me." Like Yu Gong looked at her.

"That Lin Qing has recently been collecting strange treasures containing future rules; he has likely encountered a bottleneck."

The peerlessly beautiful woman said, "But such strange treasures are extremely rare, so he will definitely go to the Xing Lian Xianlian Shengxing to attend the Xianlian Shengxing Exchange. According to long-standing tradition, when the Xing Lian Province Military Department screens and recruits people, the rewards for those with high trial rankings are non-saleable 'Star Spirit Marrow', differing only in quality. That Lin Qing is eager to break through; there is an eighty percent chance he will participate in the Military Department's selection trial. At that time, there will be an opportunity to deal with him."

"Who do you intend to choose to deal with him?" Like Yu Gong asked.

"Xiao Ying Bo."

The peerlessly beautiful woman said, "He is a direct disciple of the Blood Sea Marquis. Among Chaos Creatures, there are few stronger than him. With his strength, he can easily deal with Lin Qing. Moreover, since Yan Xue Bo died by Lin Qing's hand, it is quite normal for Xiao Ying Bo to seek out Lin Qing. Although Yan Xue Bo seemed to have seen through Lin Qing's background and dared not pursue the matter, Xiao Ying Bo is originally from the province that participated in the Frozen Empire's campaign this time and has sufficient reason to join the Military Department's selection."

She reasoned, "Even if Lin Qing has truly broken through to a high-level Chaos Creature in these years, in such a short time, he has not had time to improve his divine techniques or cultivate Supreme Secret Arts. With Xiao Ying Bo's strength, he can still easily seal Lin Qing."

Like Yu Gong nodded slightly and said, "I will leave this matter to you."

In the blink of an eye, more than twenty thousand years had passed.

During this period of hibernation, Lin Qing lived in seclusion with his avatar on different planets, cultivating silently, and everything remained peaceful. That Like Yu Gong did not seem to have any intention of taking revenge for Yan Xue Bo.

This made him feel somewhat relieved.

Thinking about it, it made sense.

Although he did not know Like Yu Gong, such a great figure should not personally act against him just for the sake of a Yan Xue Bo.

Just as the time for the Xianlian Shengxing Exchange arrived, Lin Qing sent his original body and the Black Flame Avatar to the Xing Lian Xianlian Shengxing.

Originally, Fushan Bo wanted to go with him.

But Lin Qing, thinking of the potential threat brought by Like Yu Gong, refused Fushan Bo and went to the Xing Lian Xianlian Shengxing alone.

Although the Realm of Kings is a small universe, it does not contain celestial bodies like wormholes, and powerful universe rules suppress movement; even traveling through space-time cannot be done too quickly.

With Lin Qing's speed, it took more than thirty years to reach the Xing Lian Xianlian Shengxing located in the center of the Xing Lian Province.

If it were a high-level Chaos Creature traveling via the River of Space-Time, it would be much faster.
