Chapter 368: Transformation to Eternity!

He had long heard that Star Spirit Marrow dramatically enhances comprehension and spiritual sensitivity; although its effect lasts only a short time, it is highly suitable for breaking through bottlenecks.

This was Lin Qing's first time consuming genuine Star Spirit Marrow; immediately, the Black Flame Clone swallowed this single drop.

As the Star Spirit Marrow dissolved into specks of light and dispersed within his soul, mysterious clear currents suddenly erupted from the depths of his soul. Lin Qing instantly felt his soul become tens of thousands of times clearer; his thought processes became abnormally active, and the previously difficult-to-understand space-time rules now appeared a thousand times clearer.

However, he had also heard that such a state could only be maintained for a very short time, at most a few hours.

"Such a powerful effect!"

Lin Qing was secretly shocked and immediately began attempting to perfect the final flaw in the 'Future Body' space-time mystery.

He had long since pre-advanced this time mystery; only the integration of space rules required deduction and trial. Now, under this astonishing state of comprehension, in just a brief moment—

"So that's it... this is the Future Body?"

A perfect, flawless space-time mystery emerged in his mind, and the illusory space-time around him subtly rippled in accordance with his will.

Upon entering the Future Body mystery, one can only flee into the future line; only upon reaching minor accomplishment in the Future Body can one alter the future.

And upon reaching perfection in the Future Body, one possesses a 'Future Clone'; this is the same as the Past Body mystery in the past rules—a clone formed by another self in a different space-time.

Whether for substituting death or enhancing strength, this mystery is extremely powerful; up to three hundred and eighty Future Clones can exist simultaneously!

Most importantly—

Only after the two great mysteries of Future Sight and Future Body are perfected can one truly delve deep into cultivating the 'Descent into the Future' mystery.

"Continue integrating Descent into the Future."

Lin Qing dared not waste time; he continued to contemplate the Descent into the Future mystery, striving to integrate it into the space rules.

However, only that single stroke of breaking through the bottleneck, like adding the finishing touch to a dragon's eye, truly requires such an ultra-high comprehension state; normal integration is an extremely long and complex process.

Even with comprehension enhanced a thousandfold, in just a few hours, little progress can be made.

After the effect of the Star Spirit Marrow faded, although the progress in the Descent into the Future mystery was minimal, Lin Qing still revealed a faint smile upon opening his eyes: "It went quite smoothly..."

Normally, even with a single drop of Star Spirit Marrow, it is difficult to guarantee perfecting a space-time mystery.

But he is a Main God, possesses great talent in future rules, and has various strange treasures as references, which is why it went so smoothly.

"Body World, transform."

At Lin Qing's thought, he immediately integrated this newly mastered space-time mystery into the rules of his Body World. With both space-time mysteries coexisting, the rules of his Body World instantly became even more complex and profound.

Amidst a roaring sound, the Body World also began to voraciously devour the energy of Chaos Source Crystals to undergo transformation.

The sky grew higher, the earth thicker, and the four pillars more distant.

The world expanded continuously.

In the blink of an eye, the diameter of the Body World expanded by more than double, the surface area of the world membrane increased several times, and the efficiency of absorbing or transporting energy naturally improved severalfold.

The expansion of the Body World's area signifies that the strength of the Chaos Lifeform has increased!

At this moment, whether in power or will, Lin Qing had become several times stronger than before; this was an enhancement of his foundation.

"Only the Descent into the Future mystery remains; then I will reach the peak realm of the Chaos Lifeform."

Lin Qing pondered silently, "After the three great future space-time mysteries are complete, it will be a total integration... However, the final bottleneck of the future rules should not be able to stop me..."

He could not directly pre-advance space-time mysteries; he must rely on himself to integrate the time mystery into the space rules because his realm height was insufficient.

—Even though a Main God can sense the universe's space-time rules from the closest distance, what is sensed is the universe's operational rules where past, present, and future space-time rules are fused together. Such a perfect and immensely complex set of rules naturally prevents him from directly seeing the entirety of the future rules; he can only slowly filter out suitable space-time mysteries.

And to pre-advance, one must see the target result and understand a theory sufficient to support it.

Since he did not even know the situation of the future rules serving as the target, naturally he could not pre-advance.

But...

Once the three great space-time mysteries of the future rules are all mastered, and only the formation of the whole remains, the full picture of the future rules has already been brought into view.

By then, he will also be able to clearly distinguish the future rules from the universe's space-time rules.

In this way, the target result becomes clearly visible; even if the total integration is extremely difficult, he will be able to pre-advance.

"Only Descent into the Future remains..."

Lin Qing strongly anticipated in his heart, "As long as this final space-time mystery succeeds, I can directly achieve eternity!"

For other peak experts, various space-time mysteries are merely minor bottlenecks; only the final total integration is the true major hurdle.

And he only needs to break through these minor bottlenecks.

"However, only eight hundred and ninety thousand years remain until the Provincial War begins."

Lin Qing was also somewhat uncertain, "The Descent into the Future mystery is the most complex of the three great mysteries; I do not know if there will be enough time to break through..."

After pondering briefly, he made a decision: "Wait until the Descent into the Future mystery reaches minor accomplishment and I determine when the Instant Void Spirit Flower appears; then I will decide whether to accelerate time based on the situation."

If the 'Descent into the Future' mystery is only at the entry level, even if consciousness descends into one's future self, one cannot control the future self; it is like watching a movie from a first-person perspective.

After 'Descent into the Future' reaches minor accomplishment, one can simply control the future self.

—Like a first-person perspective experience game.

What about perfection?

That would be truly perfect Descent into the Future; not merely controlling the future self, but the key is also gaining the future self's memories!

For example, if a certain secret technique currently being contemplated is too difficult, one can simply find the future line where the secret technique has already been fully understood, then directly descend into the future, obtain the memories, and thus 'gain without labor'!

This is the true terrifying aspect of future rule cultivators.

Of course, Descent into the Future cannot be too distant; the time point of descent plus the time experienced in the future cannot exceed thirty-eight million years beyond the present; any further is impossible.

Moreover, after Descent into the Future, one will also face rejection from space-time rules; for every duration of the future crossed during each descent, one must wait that same duration before descending again.

"Minor accomplishment in Descent into the Future is enough; controlling the future self and searching for accurate information on the Instant Void Spirit Flower is sufficient..." Lin Qing thought silently.

Immediately, the Black Flame Clone continued to consume the semi-finished product Star Spirit Marrow and contemplate the most profound and mysterious 'Descent into the Future'.

Meanwhile, Lin Qing's main body prepared to cultivate a new clone, the 'Mind Walker'.

"Eight hundred thousand years, yet no progress..."

Lin Qing silently sensed the subtle changes experienced by the Mind Walker clone over eight hundred thousand years and could not help but shake his head slightly.

This Soul Walker indeed matched the description in the bloodline inheritance memory: normally, from birth and growth to eternity, it takes about two billion years.

In fact, this is already very, very fast.
