Chapter 371: Future Realm

"Token of the Future Realm."

Lin Qing looked at the token in his hand, which bore seven colorful feathers, pondered for a moment, and immediately transformed it back into stars to seal it once more.

Although he intended to free-ride on the Future Realm God, before that, he still had to confirm the possibility of success and the consequences.

The Future Realm God seemed far more powerful than Your Majesty, the Light King, and other lords of god-realms.

What if the Future Realm God possessed methods beyond imagination, capable of hunting him down from the future to the present, or if the Future Realm God in reality also knew everything happening in other future timelines? Wouldn't he be finished then?

So, Lin Qing decided to go ask the Light King to clarify first; after all, they were already master and disciple in the future.

Soon, Lin Qing's application through the Second Universe Network was approved, and he met his master, the Light King, in a highest-grade subordinate space.

"The Future Realm God?"

Inside the towering temple radiating an ancient aura, the majestic figure of the Light King sat upon Wang Zuo, glanced at Lin Qing, and said, "You wish to understand the Future Realm God? Could it be you intend to use that Token of the Future Realm?"

Lin Qing said, "I am just a bit worried and wish to understand the methods of the Future Realm God."

"Oh?" The Light King nodded slightly and said, "The Future Realm God has set his sights on you; your worry is normal, and you indeed should worry."

Lin Qing immediately respectfully asked, "May I ask, Master, compared to a lord of a god-realm like yourself, or compared to the ultimate existence that controls the rules of the future, does the Future Realm God possess any special methods? For instance, knowing all future timelines?"

"Special methods?"

The corner of the Light King's mouth slowly curled up as he said, "First, correct one of your errors."

He looked at Lin Qing: "What you call lords of god-realms and realm gods are, in essence, actually all ultimate existences. Compared to other ultimate existences, whether it is a lord of a god-realm or the three realm gods of the Void God Clan, they are all at the level of mastering complete space-time rules and opening up a universe within their bodies; in the essence of life, there is no distinction."

"No distinction?" Lin Qing was momentarily stunned.

"Yes, if it is solely regarding methods of future rules, what the Future Realm God knows, you basically know too," the Light King said. "The Eternal Existence, after all, also mastered complete space-time rules, did it not?"

Lin Qing was somewhat bewildered and said, "This... since they are all ultimate existences, how can there be such a huge difference?"

Normally, anyone capable of achieving the status of an ultimate existence should be the most excellent among countless living beings in all aspects, able to reach the limit with supreme secret arts, combined divine techniques, and so on.

Could the gap be the god-realm?

"Is this not very normal?" The Light King laughed. "Similarly mastering complete space-time rules, the gap between an Eternal Existence and an ultimate existence is equally exaggerated."

"A lord of a god-realm relies on the god-realm."

The Light King shook his head and said, "My Tian Guang God-Realm is formed from the 'Future Universe Origin' of the King-Array Realm, naturally containing endless power, while the Future Realm God relies on the Future Universe Origin of the Main Universe, thus far surpassing us lords of god-realms."

Lin Qing finally began to understand the level of the Future Realm God.

A small universe like the King-Array Realm, compared to the Main Universe, is like a grain of rice stuck on a soccer ball.

Are the two comparable?

No wonder the Void God Clan is a Level Four civilization.

"May I ask, Master."

Lin Qing said, "If I descend into the future and then go to meet the Future Realm God, if I anger the Future Realm God, can the Future Realm God in reality know about it? Will the Him in the future hunt down the present?"

"How could he possibly know?" The Light King was speechless: "He is, after all, an ultimate existence, merely possessing stronger mastery over future rules."

"As for hunting down from the future to the present, that is even more unreasonable."

The Light King shook his head and said, "Even the mystery of descending into the past via past rules is merely descending into an independent past space-time; how could it possibly affect the present?"

Lin Qing finally felt relieved.

Indeed.

If the Future Realm God could hunt down from the future to the present, wouldn't there be two Future Realm Gods in the real world?

"Remember, the future is infinite and constantly changing; once anyone observes or descends into the future, the future derived from the entire chaotic space-time becomes completely different."

The Light King said softly, "Therefore, two cultivators of future rules cannot descend into the same future space-time, nor can they observe exactly the same space-time; this is the nature and development of space-time itself, and mastering space-time rules is merely utilizing space-time."

Lin Qing nodded inwardly and memorized the words spoken by the Light King.

"Go, be careful of the Future Realm God, and also be careful of the Void God Clan," the Light King reminded softly.

Careful?

Lin Qing felt somewhat puzzled in his heart, but immediately after, he was moved away by the Light King.

After returning to his own Holy Star in the future, Lin Qing went to the treasury again, looked up at that Token of the Future Realm, waited for a full moment, and then made his decision.

"Open."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and immediately activated the Token of the Future Realm in his hand.

In the next instant, accompanied by the descent of invisible space-time power, that vast and terrifying invisible power completely restricted him, enveloping his entire being within it, forming a membrane like the boundary of a universe.

And then, he vanished from his original spot.

After everything before his eyes calmed down, Lin Qing found himself standing on an endless golden plain; in the distance, one could see ditches stretching tens of millions of miles, and even further away were connecting black, heavy sky-pillars.

"This is..."

Lin Qing surveyed his surroundings, then his expression changed as he suddenly realized.

"This is on the Golden Leaf of the Universe Tree!" He suddenly awoke.

And those strange, black, heavy sky-pillars in the far distance were probably the branches of the Universe Tree!

Separated by who knows how many light-years, yet visible with perfect clarity; just how massive these branches must be, he dared not imagine.

For he, as a Main God, had personally seen the Universe Tree of the Void God Clan situated upon the universe, rooted in the origin space of the Main Universe, and countless roots and branches even divided the entire universe into countless regions, turning the Origin Sea of the high-dimensional layer into countless Void Seas.

It is said that even an Eternal Existence finds it difficult to travel to other Void Seas, and only the Void God Clan can travel to other Void Seas along the branches of the Universe Tree.

This shows the endless power of this Universe Tree.

"Human."

Suddenly, a somewhat low voice sounded, and at the same time, a terrible will and oppression spread forth.

Lin Qing turned his head to look.

Only a humanoid creature with six arms was seen walking toward this place, each step landing on the ripples of space-time fluctuations; behind it, three pairs of wings radiating multicolored light were visible, its aura holy and noble—clearly a Void God of the Void God Clan.

The Void God Clan's external forms vary; some resemble humans, others beasts.

Yet their common trait is that holy, noble aura like cosmic envoys, and the wings upon their backs!

The fourth-generation and fifth-generation bloodlines of the Void God Clan do not manifest such radiant wings.
