Chapter 394

"Hmm, creating a World God that embodies the rules of dual spacetime isn't that difficult..."

Lin Qing opened his eyes, feeling satisfied with the power of his transformed World God, "I'd estimate its power is now equivalent to the 'Cosmic Calamity Body'."

For supreme secret arts or God-Lord-level secret arts, the limit of their power depends mainly on the limit one's own body can endure.

Divine techniques, however, rely not only on one's own strength but can continuously integrate more profound rules and mysteries, allowing for endless transformation and evolution.

A combined divine technique embodying single-spacetime rules, paired with an Eternal Treasure cultivated to its peak, already surpasses supreme secret arts in power.

It is merely a notch inferior to God-Lord-level secret arts like the 'Cosmic Calamity Body'.

But a combined divine technique integrating dual-spacetime rules, coupled with a peak Eternal Treasure, is sufficient to rival God-Lord-level secret arts!

Lin Qing is just such a case.

Before his breakthrough, the power of the 'Cosmic Calamity Body' was far greater than that of a World God.

Now, after the internal world has transformed, the massive improvement in foundation has indeed made the 'Cosmic Calamity Body' a hundred times stronger than before, yet the rules and mysteries it embodies are still only the Future Rule.

But a World God is different; not only does it have a boosted foundation, but the techniques and mysteries it embodies are the dual-spacetime rules!

"The Divine Office system is truly wonderful."

Lin Qing sighed inwardly, "With the combination of divine techniques and divine artifacts/treasures, the potential is so astonishing. If one possessed a Pillar-level Universe Treasure, it would truly surpass all secret arts..."

In the era of the Ancient Universe, it was an age of only secret arts; there were no Universe Treasures, and artifact amplification relied mainly on Chaos Oddities.

But after the Divine Office system emerged, the path of divine techniques and divine artifacts/treasures consumes fewer resources and even has a higher ceiling than secret arts!

Lin Qing had also researched information regarding Pillar-level Universe Treasures.

Looking across the entire Human Race, only three Pillar-level Universe Treasures have ever appeared, and now only two remain.

One is in the hands of the Universe Lord at the Immortal Realm, and the other is in the hands of the Tian Du God Lord at the Lin Yuan Realm; moreover, both are inherited, not innate treasures.

Both of these figures are existences who master the dual-spacetime rules and have opened their own Divine Kingdoms; when they activate a Pillar-level Universe Treasure, its power surpasses all secret art inheritances, and is even more terrifying than the inheritances of World Gods, truly making them the strongest in the Human Race!

A Universe Lord is only invincible within his home universe; outside the universe, he is not much stronger than other Divine Kingdom Lords.

But once possessing a Pillar-level Universe Treasure, that is truly far beyond.

Records state—

The Tian Du God Lord once carried a Pillar-level Universe Treasure, using the endless Chaos as a battlefield, and killed two Divine Kingdom Lords who also mastered the dual-spacetime rules, while destroying a massive Chaos Wonder!

A Divine Kingdom Lord who masters the dual-spacetime rules is already considered a top-tier combat power.

Yet he was killed by one against two!

This shows the terror of the Pillar-level Universe Treasure.

"However, the Lord of the Primordial Realm back then also possessed a Pillar-level Universe Treasure, and stationed within the Primordial Realm universe, he should have been invincible, yet he was still killed by the Old Ancestors, and even the Primordial Realm was destroyed..."

Thinking of this, Lin Qing completely suppressed his desire to break through further.

Although he is now at the Duke-level strength, his combat power still lags behind Ultimate Existences, let alone compared to the strongest in the Human Race.

In short, before having sufficient certainty, he must not reveal even a shred.

"I wonder what level the three World Gods of the Void God Clan and the three Ancestors of the Yu Xingyuan Demon Clan are..."

Lin Qing shook his head inwardly, "How can they be so much stronger than the Lord of the Primordial Realm?"

After pondering for a while, he calmed his mind and continued to use the 'Original Method' to explore creating one secret art after another, attempting to forge secret arts at the Divine Kingdom Lord level.

In the blink of an eye, another twenty thousand years passed.

Inside the Flowing Years Hall, millions of years had passed.

"Disciple, the Void God Clan is preparing to begin the selection for the third-generation bloodline."

Suddenly, the voice of Light King rang out inside the Flowing Years Hall.

Hearing this, Lin Qing opened his eyes and said, "Master, I will go out immediately."

"Hmm, come see me."

Inside the Heaven Light Divine Temple.

"In the blink of an eye, you are already capable of holding your own in a region."

Light King sized up Lin Qing and sighed somewhat, "It has only been a few million years; I, your master, thought that by this time, if you could complete the second trial, it would already be considered excellent. I didn't expect you to already be the third Duke of my Heaven Light Divine Kingdom?"

Lin Qing knew his transformed life level could not be hidden from his master, so he only shook his head and said, "Pity, there is still some gap compared to levels like Like Yu Gong and Lord Luo Shen."

"Some gap is normal."

Light King shook his head and said, "Lord Luo Shen and Like Yu Gong both received World God inheritances and cultivated God-Lord-level secret arts of the dual-spacetime rules. Even with your Illusory World Great Extinction, it is hard to compare with them."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

World God inheritances are extremely divine and terrifying, completely exceeding the level of a Divine Kingdom Lord.

For instance, the Illusory World Great Extinction is one of the inheritances created by the Future World God; its divine nature and terrifying power need no further explanation.

Moreover, without needing to master spacetime rules, it produces such incredible effects, truly baffling.

It is said that most inheritances created by the three World Gods are such divine secret arts that do not involve spacetime rules; even inheritances involving spacetime rules only embody a single type of spacetime rule, yet their application is incredibly clever.

"Master."

Lin Qing suddenly asked with curiosity, "I am somewhat curious: why have the three World Gods of the Void God Clan never transmitted any inheritances embodying dual-spacetime rules?"

"Dual-spacetime?" Light King smiled, then immediately shielded the surrounding spacetime before speaking, "This involves a secret. Although our Human Race's high-ups only suspect it, it should be eight or nine times out of ten correct."

"A secret?" Lin Qing listened with rapt attention.

Light King pondered for a moment and said, "What do you think the realm of the three World Gods of the Void God Clan and the three Ancestors of the Yu Xingyuan is?"

Lin Qing thought for a short while and said, "Perhaps they have mastered the three major spacetime rules? Or a higher realm beyond the spacetime rules?"

"You are wrong."

Light King couldn't help but shake his head and smile, saying, "The three World Gods of the Void God Clan should have only mastered individual spacetime rules! The Present World God only mastered the Present Rule, the Past World God only mastered the Past Rule, and the Future World God only mastered the Future Rule! The same applies to the three of the Yu Xingyuan!"

Lin Qing couldn't help but be stunned and said, "How is that possible? The strength of these six..."

"Strength is strength, and realm is realm."

Light King shook his head and asked rhetorically: "Eternal Existence, Ultimate Existence, and Lord of the Divine Realm have all merely mastered one kind of space-time rule, but how vast is the gap in strength?"

Lin Qing was stunned.

"Our Human Race's upper echelons have made a speculation—"

Light King said: "These three Realm Gods of the Void God Clan should be equivalent to the three Lords of the Divine Realm in the Main Universe! And the three Ancestors of the Yu Xingyuan Demon Clan are equivalent to the three Lords of the Divine Realm in the Yu Xingyuan!"

"Lord of the Divine Realm?" Lin Qing was somewhat surprised.

"Just like my King of Kings Realm," Light King said. "Why does the universe origin of my King of Kings Realm split into three? It is because there are three Lords of the Divine Realm in the King of Kings Realm, each controlling one kind of space-time rule. As for the situation of the three Realm Gods, do you not feel they are very similar to three Lords of the Divine Realm?"
