Chapter 390: The Nine-Minded Sage

Lin Qing left the Instant True God Avatar in the Shanhai Realm, creating a space-time with a time flow rate of three hundred and eighty thousand times, allowing Shen Jingjing to enter seclusion and cultivate within it.

Although this time acceleration is extremely high, maintaining the time acceleration of just one Void Sovereign is still very simple.

Immediately, he left an avatar in the Shanhai Realm to visit his long-separated family and friends, while another avatar headed to the Tianyuan Seat Sacred Land.

Meanwhile, Lin Qing's true body quietly went to the Space-Time Island Sacred Land to search for that heart.

Tianyuan Seat Sacred Land.

"Mr. Lin Qing?"

The Tianyuan Seat Ancestor looked at Lin Qing in astonishment. "You have returned from the King of the Ranks realm? It has only been a few million years... wait, how did you get in?"

As the World Master of the Tianyuan Seat Sacred Land, he had completely failed to notice how Lin Qing had entered?

Immediately, using the World Origin to carefully investigate, he could not help but tremble in his heart.

At this moment, he felt as if he were facing an incredibly terrifying and vast world, as though the other party could destroy this Sacred Land with a mere thought!

"Senior Tianyuan, I have already found your daughter," Lin Qing's avatar said. "However, the King of the Ranks realm is currently in a period of all-out war. Do you wish to go to the King of the Ranks realm to see your daughter, or shall I send someone to bring your daughter here?"

"I can still see my daughter?"

The Tianyuan Seat Ancestor was stunned, his lips trembling slightly. He felt a surge of strength throughout his body, and his eyes were filled with expectation. He quickly said, "Then I entrust my daughter to you, Mr. Lin Qing. Thank you so much."

He had originally thought that once Lin Qing attained a certain status in the King of the Ranks realm, he would be able to inquire about his daughter's whereabouts, and that would have been enough for him.

He never expected... that his daughter could actually be brought down here?

Recalling the aura of Lin Qing he had just sensed, he immediately understood... that in merely a few million years, Lin Qing had already grown to a degree beyond his imagination.

"No need for courtesy, Senior Tianyuan. You helped me greatly in the past. Please wait a few more days," Lin Qing said.

In fact, he had long known the approximate whereabouts of the Tianyuan Seat Ancestor's daughter, but at that time he was being watched by powerful enemies like Like Yu Gong, so he naturally could not go looking for her, lest he bring disaster upon the innocent.

After the great war ended, he asked that junior brother from the Ice-Sealed Empire to help find her, which would save him from quite a few troubles.

Now, the Tianyuan Seat Ancestor's daughter has become a High Chaos Lifeform and is doing quite well in the King of the Ranks realm.

"Good, good, good," the Tianyuan Seat Ancestor quickly said. "I am not in a hurry."

Repeated Great Nihilations had long turned his relatives and disciples into nothingness; only his daughter remained his sole concern.

Having waited for so many billions of years, he certainly did not mind waiting a little longer.

"However, Senior Tianyuan, it seems you are about to be unable to withstand the next Great Nihilation?"

Lin Qing flipped his hand and took out a storage treasure. "Senior, you have been trapped at a bottleneck for many years. The treasures within might help you break through your current bottleneck."

The Tianyuan Seat Ancestor had already cultivated the mysteries of the Past Body to the final bottleneck.

But most Low Chaos Lifeforms are like this; among ten thousand people, not even one might successfully break through the bottleneck.

But with the assistance of these treasures he provided, there is at least a seventy percent chance.

Although these treasures would make even many Eternal Existences feel a sting of regret, for Lin Qing, such treasures meant nothing.

Back then, the Shanhai Realm was on the verge of being breached by powerful enemies, and it was only with the full assistance of the Tianyuan Seat Ancestor that the crisis was averted.

He naturally would not be stingy.

"This..." The Tianyuan Seat Ancestor could not help but be stunned.

Lin Qing said no more, merely smiled, and then dispersed this avatar.

Pantheon Sacred Land.

Inside the Supreme Temple of the Central Yuan Domain, the Pantheon Ancestor was in seclusion.

Since she joined forces with the Immortal Realm Chaos Son to attack the Shanhai Realm hundreds of thousands of years ago, only to be hunted down by the overwhelmingly powerful Lord of the Shanhai Realm, she had been in seclusion at her home Sacred Land, hoping to break through as quickly as possible.

Although she had signed a five-star contract with the Second Universe Network and was not afraid of the other party killing her, that contract only limited the other party from killing her directly and was not perfect or detailed enough.

They could not kill her with their own hands, but what if they hired someone else to kill her?

Therefore, she had always been quite worried and planned to use this psychological pressure to attempt breaking through the final bottleneck of time acceleration.

Suddenly—

"Boom!!"

Amidst a roaring sound as if heaven and earth were being destroyed, the Pantheon Ancestor suddenly felt the space-time she occupied begin to shrink infinitely, and her home world, for some reason, was also collapsing and being destroyed!

She instinctively looked up and was instantly dumbfounded.

She saw a massive palm, seemingly vaster than heaven and earth, extending from the depths of space-time, sweeping down to grab her. Wherever it passed, all space-time collapsed and perished; her home Sacred Land, merely touched by the aftermath, collapsed and was utterly destroyed!

The Pantheon Ancestor was like an ant falling into the giant hand of a deity, trembling instinctively, yet utterly unable to struggle.

Then, she saw a face like the heavens above, looking at her with a faint, enigmatic smile.

"Lin... Lin Qing..."

The Pantheon Ancestor immediately recognized it—that was unmistakably Lin Qing's face!

"How is this possible..."

Her mind went blank; she could not believe what she saw before her. How could Lin Qing, who only became a Chaos God hundreds of thousands of years ago, possess such unimaginable power?

This completely overturned her imagination!

"Pantheon Ancestor, you have not yet repaid the debt from those years."

Lin Qing looked coldly at the Pantheon Ancestor, who had become as tiny as an ant in his palm. After casually sealing and storing her, he glanced once more at the already collapsed and destroyed Pantheon Sacred Land, deemed it not worth further attention, and then vanished directly from the spot.

Although he could not yet break the restrictions of the five-star contract to kill the Pantheon Ancestor with his own hands, there were many ways to make her die.

The Space-Time Island Sacred Land had long since become a desolate wasteland; only the hidden space containing the Heart of the Nine-Minded Sage remained.

In the silent, ice-sealed space, Lin Qing suddenly appeared here.

"The Heart of the Nine-Minded Sage..."

Lin Qing gazed at the heart deep within that massive ice pillar; with a slight extension of his hand, the enormous pillar instantly dissolved into nothingness, leaving only the vivid, beating heart—resembling a human heart—to fly toward him.

The power of this heart was extremely weak, merely equivalent to the Void Sovereign realm, belonging to a nascent state.

"Seal."

Lin Qing tapped with his fingertip, and waves of terrifying power spread forth: the power of the World's Origin, the power of Will, the power of Cause and Effect... all spreading out simultaneously to completely seal this heart.

Only then did he begin to reverse-engineer it using the "No Cause, No Effect" secret technique.

This "No Cause, No Effect" secret technique also required cooperation with the Rule of the Future, making the investigation extremely clear.

After a brief moment—

"Found it."

Lin Qing's eyes suddenly brightened. "It's actually in the King of the List realm?"

After carefully deducing and observing for a while longer, he could not help but reveal a smile.

Lin Qing did not waste time; after returning to the Shanhai Realm and making arrangements, he asked Lord Luo Shen to help guide Shen Jingjing in maintaining the time acceleration, then immediately took his incarnations—the Mind Walker and the Instant True God—back to the King of the List realm.
