Chapter 406

Lin Qing immediately flew deep into the treasure hall, casually gathering up each treasure as he went, leaving not a single item behind.

Many treasures inside the hall were sealed, but their seals were fragile, far weaker than those on the exterior; with his methods, he shattered and claimed them almost effortlessly.

Soon after entering the deepest recesses of the Yuanchu Treasure Hall, Lin Qing found his target.

It was a small, gray, dusty fragment of stone, surrounded by a boundary of spacetime resembling a cosmic membrane, perfectly enclosing it without leaking a trace of its aura, as if it existed in another universe entirely.

Just this tiny fragment of stone revealed the complete rules of the future.

"Another fragment? Though its shape differs, its volume is identical."

Lin Qing's mind stirred, "The fragment the Su Prince gave me is also a fragment—one of the primordial sources absorbable by the Anti-Entropy Being. Could it be… these fragments can be assembled into a whole?"

He feigned surprise as he examined the mysterious gray fragment, then promptly collected it.

Afterwards, a thread of intent subtly seeped into the cosmic boundary surrounding the gray fragment.

【Recovery complete. 'Anti-Entropy Being' has recovered 2/380. Obtained Supreme Divine Miracle: 'Turn Illusion into Reality' once. Charging complete—can be used now. Current energy: 0%】

Alongside the Anti-Entropy Being's notification, Lin Qing carefully observed the mysterious gray fragment.

Back then, when he was merely a low-level chaotic lifeform who had just transcended, he could not comprehend this mysterious gray fragment.

Now, as a Duke-level cultivator, he still could not comprehend it.

Even the Future Realm God had studied this mysterious gray fragment for thirty-eight billion years and still failed to uncover its purpose.

Yet no matter how he observed it—even after the Anti-Entropy Being had reclaimed the so-called 'primordial source'—Lin Qing detected no change in the gray fragment; the cosmic boundary remained intact, still containing the complete rules of the future.

What exactly had the Anti-Entropy Being drained from this mysterious gray fragment?

"No wonder even the Future Realm God couldn't discern its function…"

Lin Qing silently shook his head, quieted his thoughts, and continued collecting the other treasures within the hall.

Meanwhile, boundless energy from his inner world continuously flowed into the Anti-Entropy Being.

In the blink of an eye—

【Current 'Turn Illusion into Reality' charging progress: 100%】

【Charging complete】

【All phenomena are illusion; all phenomena are real. When you return from the illusory future, you may choose to bring back one object from the future, converting it into reality with sufficient energy. Remaining uses: 1】

"Another chance to 'Turn Illusion into Reality'…"

Lin Qing silently sighed.

Back then, to charge it to 100%, he had expended countless efforts and time.

Now, it was fully charged in the blink of an eye.

"I'll save this 'Turn Illusion into Reality' for when I encounter a special treasure in the future."

But even if he wanted to use it now, he couldn't—because 'Turn Illusion into Reality' requires 'Descending into the Future.'

His two opportunities to descend into the future—the most recent one—still required over thirty million years before he could use it again.

It wasn't urgent anyway.

After collecting all the treasures within the hall, his gains weren't particularly great.

The most useful item was a chaotic rarity, offering only a trace of benefit toward the transformation of an Eternal Treasure into a Pillar-level Cosmic Treasure.

But among the Void Divine Race's treasure vaults, it was barely considered a Five-Feather-tier treasure.

This was perfectly normal.

Yuanchu Shen Di was merely an ordinary Lord of a Divine Nation; his unused treasures could hardly hold great value.

Only the mysterious gray fragment was too peculiar, its purpose unknown, making it possible for someone to collect it.

"I wonder where Yuanchu Shen Di obtained this mysterious gray fragment?"

Lin Qing temporarily suppressed his curiosity and flew out of the treasure hall.

…

At this point, the entire Yuanchu Divine Nation had largely been subdued; all its wonders had been destroyed.

Aside from a few Eternal Beings who fled into the Infinite Chaos, all others had been utterly annihilated by Lin Qing or Yuan Gong.

Over ninety percent of the Yuanchu Divine Nation's cosmic origin had been seized.

Only the life-planets and sacred stars within the Yuanchu Domain still needed gradual destruction, and to avoid harming innocents, their inhabitants had to be relocated first before the planets were obliterated.

But the Divine Nation War would last for thirty-eight million years—plenty of time.

After breaching the Yuanchu Divine Nation, Lin Qing led his forces toward the Wanhai Divine Nation.

The Wanhai Divine Nation offered no resistance whatsoever; its world barrier was effortlessly shattered—it had clearly surrendered.

The Wanhai Divine Nation's numerous Eternal Beings all fled into the Infinite Chaos.

According to news from his master, all Wanhai Divine Nation's Eternal Beings had left the Liewang Realm together and received reception and protection from the Wanhai Nation Lord, so none had perished.

Compared to the Yuanchu Divine Nation's loss of over one hundred thousand Eternal Beings, the Wanhai Divine Nation's casualties were far smaller.

Moreover, before leaving, they took with them numerous treasures from the Wanhai Divine Nation's treasury.

Lin Qing didn't care—he simply destroyed every wonder within the Wanhai Divine Nation, and without exception, every life-planet in the Wanhai Domain.

Although the cosmic origin contained within one hundred thousand Eternal Beings was substantial, it was barely less than ten percent of what the Yuanchu Divine Nation had provided.

After several more tens of thousands of years, under the efforts of the Tianguang Divine Nation's Dukes and Eternal Beings, all life-planets and sacred stars within the Yuanchu and Wanhai Domains were finally obliterated.

The Divine Nation War.

It had now ended completely.

…

The Infinite Chaos beyond the Liewang Realm.

The three Divine Nation factions of the Liewang Realm still waited outside the universe, awaiting the end of the cosmic tremors.

In past Divine Nation Wars, when the cosmic tremors ended, the three sides were still fighting, still desperately plundering cosmic origin.

And this time, in merely tens of thousands of years, the victor had already been decided, with no cosmic source left to plunder.

The cosmic tremors had not even ended yet.

The war was over; the three factions could only continue to wait idly outside the universe.

However, compared to the relaxed atmosphere of the Light Faction, which seemed ready to throw a grand celebration banquet, the atmosphere on the side of the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom and the Primordial Divine Kingdom was very low.

Suddenly—

"Whoosh!"

A streak of light, terrifyingly fast, tore through the chaos, swept to the chaotic region where the three factions were located, instantly fell into the Light Faction, and only then emerged from the River of Time and Space.

It was none other than Lin Qing.

"Master," Lin Qing flew before the Light King and said with a smile, "It has been handled."

"Good, good."

The Light King patted Lin Qing's shoulder and softly sighed, "The luckiest thing in my life was probably taking you as my disciple."

"Master flatters me," Lin Qing shook his head.

"My words are not flattery at all."

The Light King smiled. "Nowadays, you, looking across the entire history of the Human Race, are enough to rank in the top five beneath the Ultimate Existence! Being able to decide the outcome of a Divine Kingdom war for one civilization single-handedly, the old monsters of other civilizations are extremely envious."

Lin Qing pondered thoughtfully.

Top five beneath the Ultimate Existence; Prince Su must be above him, and should be the strongest without any controversy, yet Prince Su had only just broken through shortly before, and was destroyed along with the Primordial Realm.

And among the top five in history, the other four including Lin Qing each had their own specialties, and the gap between them was actually very small.

Now, those other three are already great existences like the pillars of the Human Race.
