Chapter 406: Now, the Promise of the Realm God

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

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

It was a dull gray shard 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 shard alone could reveal the complete rules of the future.

“Another shard? Though its shape differs, its volume is identical.”

Lin Qing’s mind stirred, “The shard the Host Prince gave me is also one—among the primordial sources absorbable by the Anti-Entropy Being. Could it be… these shards can be assembled into a whole?”

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

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

【Recovery complete. ‘Anti-Entropy Being’ restored 2/380. Acquired 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 shard.

Back then, when he had just transcended and was still a low-level chaotic lifeform, he could not comprehend this mysterious gray shard.

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

Even the Future Realm God had studied this mysterious gray shard for thirty-eight billion years and still found no use for it.

Yet no matter how he observed it—even after the Anti-Entropy Being had reclaimed the so-called ‘primordial source’—Lin Qing saw no change in the gray shard; 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 shard?

“No wonder even the Future Realm God couldn’t discern its function…”

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

Meanwhile, vast 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 illusory, all phenomena are real. When you return from the illusory future, you may choose to bring back one item from the future, converting it into reality with sufficient energy. Remaining uses: 1】

“Another chance to turn illusion into reality…”

Lin Qing silently sighed.

Previously, 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.”

But even if he wanted to use it now, he couldn’t—it required ‘Descending into the Future’ to activate.

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

No rush anyway.

After collecting all the treasures within the hall, his gains weren’t substantial.

The most useful item was a chaotic rarity, offering a faint effect toward the evolution of an Eternal Treasure into a Pillar-level Cosmic Treasure.

But among the Void God Clan's treasury, it barely qualified as a Five-Feather-level treasure.

That was only natural.

Yuanchu Divine Emperor was merely an ordinary Lord of a Divine Realm; his unused treasures could hardly hold great value.

Only the mysterious gray shard was too peculiar, its function unknown, making its collection possible.

“I wonder where Yuanchu Divine Emperor obtained this mysterious gray shard?”

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

…

At this point, the entire Yuanchu Divine Realm 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 Realm’s cosmic origin had been seized.

Only the life-bearing stars and Sacred Stars within the Yuanchu Domain still needed gradual destruction—under the constraint of avoiding collateral harm, the inhabitants had to be relocated first before the stars were obliterated.

But the Divine Realm War would last thirty-eight thousand millennia; time was more than sufficient.

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

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

The numerous Eternal Beings of Wanhai Divine Realm fled into the Infinite Chaos.

According to news from his master, all Wanhai’s Eternal Beings had left the Liewang Realm together and received protection and escort from the Wanhai Sovereign—none had perished.

Compared to Yuanchu Divine Realm’s loss of over one hundred thousand Eternal Beings, Wanhai’s casualties were negligible.

Moreover, before departing, they took with them numerous treasures from Wanhai’s treasury.

Lin Qing didn’t care—he simply destroyed every wonder within Wanhai Divine Realm, and every life-bearing star in the Wanhai Domain without exception.

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

After another tens of thousands of years, under the efforts of the Tianguang Divine Realm’s Dukes and Eternal Beings, all life-bearing stars and Sacred Stars within the Yuanchu and Wanhai Domains were finally obliterated.

Divine Realm War.

It had now ended completely.

…

The Infinite Chaos beyond the Liewang Realm.

The three Divine Realm factions of the Liewang Realm still waited outside the universe for the cosmic tremors to subside.

In past Divine Realm Wars, the cosmic tremors ended while the three factions were still fighting, still scrambling to seize cosmic origin.

This time, victory was decided in mere tens of thousands of years—there was virtually no cosmic origin left to plunder.

The cosmic tremors hadn’t even ended yet.

The war was over; all three factions could only continue waiting outside the universe.

Yet while the Tianguang faction exuded a relaxed, celebratory air—as if preparing a grand feast—the Wanhai and Yuanchu factions were steeped in gloom.

Suddenly—

“Swoosh!”

A streak of terrifyingly swift light pierced the chaos, streaking to the chaotic region where the three factions waited, then instantly plunging into the Tianguang faction, before materializing from the River of Time.

It was Lin Qing.

“Master.” Lin Qing flew before Guang Wang and smiled. “It’s all taken care of.”

“Good, good.”

Guang Wang patted Lin Qing’s shoulder and murmured in admiration: “The luckiest thing in my life was surely taking you as my disciple.”

“Master, you flatter me.” Lin Qing shook his head.

“I’m not flattering you at all.”

Guang Wang smiled. “You, at this moment, rank among the top five beneath the Ultimate Existence in all of human history. You alone can determine the outcome of a Divine Realm War between civilizations—other civilizations’ elders are envious beyond measure.”

Lin Qing fell into thought.

Beneath the Ultimate Existence, the Host Prince was certainly above him—and unquestionably the strongest—but the Host Prince had only just broken through, only to have his entire Primordial Realm destroyed.

Among the other four in history’s top five—including Lin Qing—the differences were minor, each possessing unique traits.

The remaining three among them were now great pillars of the human race.
