Chapter 361: Eternal Treasure!

"Yes, a traitor."

Emperor Qiongguang's eyes held a trace of cold fury: "My master was the first Ultimate Existence of our homeland. To allow our homeland's civilization to transcend the universe, he paid an unknown price. Because the talent born within the Holy Land civilization was limited, he also paid a heavy price to invite geniuses from other civilizations to reincarnate into our homeland, sparing no treasures to cultivate one Ultimate Existence after another."

"Back then, to cultivate an Ultimate Existence who mastered the rules of the past universe, my master even paid a great price to ask that God of the Past Realm to offer a single piece of guidance."

"But what was the result? We cultivated only Yuan Chu Shen Di, this traitor!"

"The Lord of Ten Thousand Seas is no better; in his struggle for the universe's origin, in his wars to strengthen his own power, he never hesitated!"

"It is only because Ultimate Existences exceed the limits of the Second Universe Web that these two have not died countless times already!"

Emperor Qiongguang's gaze was cold, every word radiating sky-piercing fury, as if he had not poured out the anger in his heart like this for a very long time.

Lin Qing finally understood a little.

The war between the three Divine Kingdoms was originally to fight over the universe's origin?

"So, the Lord of Ten Thousand Seas and Yuan Chu Shen Di are actually geniuses from other civilizations who reincarnated?" Lin Qing said.

"Yes," Emperor Qiongguang said. "Not just them; many of my master's disciples, even the Ultimate Existences currently in the King of Kings Realm, are actually geniuses reincarnated from other civilizations who later cultivated to their current level."

He shook his head slightly and said, "There is no way. The proportion of geniuses born from a Level Two Civilization Holy Land is simply too low, too low. To open a small universe, it must be an Ultimate Existence born from the homeland civilization. The life imprints of Eternal Existences or Ultimate Existences are too powerful to integrate into the world origin of a Level Two Civilization Holy Land, so we can only invite geniuses from other civilizations to reincarnate here, and then find a way to cultivate them into Ultimate Existences."

Lin Qing realized.

To open a Level Three Civilization small universe, one needs three Ultimate Existences of the Past, Present, and Future.

Moreover, they must be Ultimate Existences born from the civilization itself.

The life essence of Ultimate Existences or Eternal Existences from other civilizations is too strong to integrate into the world origin, so one can only seek geniuses below the Eternal level to reincarnate into the homeland, and then cultivate them into Ultimate Existences.

In the King of Kings Realm, there was Your Majesty Light King in the past, but the Present and the Future Ultimate Existences are still missing.

It seems Light King invited many geniuses from other civilizations who cultivated these two types of rules, and paid a great price to cultivate the Lord of Ten Thousand Seas and Yuan Chu Shen Di, but never expected to misjudge, cultivating two traitors.

"My master can see the future, but he cannot see the future of the Lord of Ten Thousand Seas and Yuan Chu Shen Di after opening the Divine Kingdom, nor did he expect these two to betray him."

Emperor Qiongguang sighed: "Back then, the Lord of Ten Thousand Seas and Yuan Chu Shen Di still pretended to be honest and obedient, but... human hearts change easily. The various actions of these two later on made my master's heart turn completely cold. When taking disciples, character is valued most. In these thirty billion years, there have been geniuses, but my master simply did not like them."

Lin Qing nodded slowly.

Emperor Qiongguang sighed, reached out to pat Lin Qing's shoulder, and his eyes grew a bit warmer. "I heard, junior brother, that you value your hometown and family very much. This is good. My master and us disciples hate those who view all living beings as ants the most."

Lin Qing said nothing, only asking in confusion: "As an Ultimate Existence who cultivates the Future Rule, so rare, did he not think of using a Pillar-Level Universe Treasure to replace an Ultimate Existence to open the universe?"

Emperor Qiongguang was speechless and said, "Do you think Pillar-Level Universe Treasures are easy to obtain?"

Lin Qing was slightly stunned.

"Let me tell you," Emperor Qiongguang said. "In the entire King of Kings Realm, there is not a single Pillar-Level Universe Treasure!"

"Not a single one?" Lin Qing could not help but say. "Not even my master?"

"No," Emperor Qiongguang shook his head. "There are treasures with the potential to become Pillar-Level, but not a single one has truly transformed into a Pillar-Level Treasure!"

He said, "You should also know that the world inside a Universe Treasure has no distinction of Past, Present, or Future; anyone cultivating any space-time rule can activate it. This is because the Universe Treasure itself is a world that is nearly real."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Indeed, that is the case.

The world inside his Universe Treasure is a naturally born real world. Although the space-time mysteries it contains are incomplete, there is no distinction of Past, Present, or Future.

"And a Pillar-Level Universe Treasure..."

Emperor Qiongguang's eyes held a trace of longing: "It is a true small universe! It also contains complete universe space-time rules; whether Past, Present, or Future, all are within it!"

Lin Qing now understood the preciousness of a Pillar-Level Universe Treasure.

"Do not think too much."

Emperor Qiongguang patted Lin Qing's shoulder and said, "Ultimate Existences almost all use Eternal Treasures; they are just of higher quality."

"Even my master does not have a Pillar-Level Universe Treasure; I dare not think too much," Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

He had originally thought that when the Mountain and Sea Realm transformed into a Level Three Civilization in the future, he could first try to transform his own innate Universe Treasure into a Pillar-Level one.

Now it seems he was overthinking it.

"Junior brother, your potential is astonishing; there is no need to belittle yourself."

Emperor Qiongguang smiled. "Although strong ones who cultivate the Future Rule have little advantage in combat power, they are still very rare and special, and can be said to be the easiest to obtain treasures in the Chaos."

"Whether one obtains a treasure, does that not all depend on luck?" Lin Qing shook his head.

"Haha," Emperor Qiongguang laughed. "Do not say cultivating to our Ultimate level; even among Eternal Existences, many have luck that reaches the limit. Luck, after all, is just luck."

"Oh?" Lin Qing asked in confusion. "Is there such a thing as a limit to luck?"

"Luck is the universe's preference," Emperor Qiongguang said. "But once one leaves the universe and enters the endless Chaos, the influence of the universe rules' preference becomes very limited; the endless Chaos will not favor any living being."

Lin Qing realized.

At this moment, the two Radiant Wang Zhu above, outside that space-time, suddenly emitted even stronger light, becoming more and more dazzling, like the final burning of a star.

Obviously, although the two had chatted for over ten minutes in this space-time with extremely slow time flow, nearly a year had passed in the outside world.

"Oh?"

Emperor Qiongguang raised his head slightly, and the surrounding space-time, slowed to the extreme, immediately released, and the time flow returned to normal.

"Junior brother, this is your trial; you go ahead," Emperor Qiongguang said.

Lin Qing nodded slowly.

The trial given by Your Majesty Light King was to obtain both Radiant Wang Zhu simultaneously, but one of these Wang Zhu would inevitably be destroyed, so he must rely on the mystery of his Future Body to obtain both.

"Wang Zhu..."

Layer upon layer of future space-time images immediately appeared in Lin Qing's eyes, and he immediately saw which Wang Zhu would ultimately be destroyed.

Immediately, he reached out, and a force penetrated the future line, entering the moment this Radiant Wang Zhu formed, the time point just before it was about to self-destruct, and forcibly restrained it, allowing the other Wang Zhu to self-destruct.

Time passed bit by bit.

The light of the two Radiant Wang Zhu also bloomed to its absolute limit, dazzling beyond measure; the power naturally radiating from that light alone was enough to rival a High-Level Chaos Lifeform.

However, for Lin Qing, this power could naturally be suppressed and sealed with ease.

Suddenly—

"Crack."

One of the Wang Zhu pearls suddenly dimmed, began to collapse and annihilate, its light fading away, while the other stabilized, remaining dazzlingly bright.

And now and future met at this very moment.
