Chapter 408: Now the World God Acts!
"In thirty-eight million years, I will reach the Ultimate..."
Lin Qing carefully observed the threads of the future, confirming that at the end of every thread, near thirty-eight million years later, there existed the instant of imminent breakthrough to the Ultimate.
Beyond that, he could see no further.
After all, the Ultimate existence that opened an inner universe with the Dual-Time-Space rules had a life level that surpassed his observational limits.
Naturally, he could not see the future after the breakthrough.
"The second-generation bloodline of the Void God Clan is indeed different..."
Lin Qing could not help but sigh inwardly.
Although practitioners of the Future Rule, due to their extreme scarcity, could more easily attain the position of Ultimate, even the fastest usually had to wait hundreds of millions of years; tens of billions or even hundreds of billions of years were considered fast.
As for practitioners of the Present Rule, it was extremely difficult; practitioners of the Past Rule had a slightly higher probability of attaining the Ultimate position, but not by much.
This was also normal.
The entire Human Race had thirty-two Transcendent civilizations plus two Demi-God civilizations, yet the Ultimate existences of the Future Rule, upon statistical analysis, numbered only forty-seven.
And what was the total number of Human Race Ultimate existences?
A full five thousand plus!
Even within the group of Ultimate existences, the highest talent group, the proportion of Future Rule practitioners was still less than one percent.
Naturally, the probability of Future Rule practitioners attaining the Ultimate position was much higher.
It could be said that any Future Rule practitioner who met the conditions could almost certainly achieve the Ultimate.
"Soon..."
Lin Qing took a deep breath and pondered inwardly, "However, before the breakthrough, I must reincarnate back to the Shanhai World... Before reincarnating, I must first resolve all lingering troubles."
To become a Lord of a Divine Kingdom, there were almost only two methods.
Either reincarnate into the Immortal Realm or the Abyss Realm, wait for these two civilization universes to continue expanding, give birth to new Divine Kingdoms, and then the Ultimate existence could refine them.
But since the birth of the two Demi-God civilizations, only so many Divine Kingdoms had been born; no one knew when the next Divine Kingdom would be born, and even if one were born, countless Ultimate existences were still in line; how could it be his turn?
The second method was only feasible for someone like him, who came from the Main Universe and whose home world still existed.
That is, reincarnate back to one's own home civilization, let the home world evolve into a small universe, and then become the Lord of the Divine Kingdom of the home universe.
Light King had done exactly this.
"After reincarnating to my home, I will consider the other universe pillar..."
Lin Qing pondered inwardly, "Ideally, I cultivate another pillar-level supreme treasure of the universe, or let Hall Master Qi achieve the Ultimate, and then make a vow with the Stone of True Self Oaths..."
Opening a small universe requires the three universe pillars of Past, Present, and Future as its foundation.
He alone could serve as the universe pillars for the Present and the Future; he only needed one more Ultimate existence of the Past Rule or a pillar-level supreme treasure of the universe.
But how high was the difficulty of cultivating an Ultimate existence?
Even if an Ultimate existence reincarnated, they might not necessarily achieve the Ultimate again.
Let alone a pillar-level supreme treasure of the universe.
The entire Human Race had only two such treasures.
"Eh... Right!"
Lin Qing suddenly felt a stir in his heart: "Master once said that the Human Race used to have three pillar-level supreme treasures of the universe; the Immortal Realm and the Abyss Realm each had one, and the third should have been once held by the Primordial Realm. Where is that pillar-level supreme treasure of the universe now?"
He did not waste time and immediately went to ask Light King.
"The pillar-level supreme treasure of the universe of the Primordial Realm?"
Light King looked at him and sighed, "Don't think about it. That pillar-level supreme treasure of the universe once belonged to the Lord of the Primordial Realm, but the Primordial Realm was destroyed. Do you think that pillar-level supreme treasure of the universe still exists?"
Lin Qing was slightly stunned and said, "Could it have been destroyed by the Old Ancestors?"
"Yes and no," Light King said. "According to the explanation of the World Gods, pillar-level supreme treasures of the universe are inherently indestructible, but because they were severely injured by the Lord of the Old Days, the three Ultimate positions and the three layers of the universe within the source of the Primordial Realm's pillar-level supreme treasure of the universe scattered, leaving only the body itself, naturally no longer possessing the power of the past."
"Three Ultimate positions and three layers of the universe?" Lin Qing exclaimed in surprise.
"Of course, this is the core of forging a pillar-level supreme treasure of the universe."
Light King sighed, "Do you think why pillar-level supreme treasures of the universe are so rare? The rare materials required for forging are indeed the most important, but when finally taking shape, one must also refine three Ultimate existences of the Past, Present, and Future to obtain three types of universe source and three Ultimate positions."
Lin Qing finally understood; no wonder pillar-level supreme treasures of the universe were so rare!
The rare materials required for forging were already extremely precious and rare; any of the most ordinary auxiliary materials, placed in the treasury of the Void God Clan, would be a Seven-Feather treasure, and the main materials were without exception Nine-Feather treasures!
Under such harsh conditions, one also had to refine three Ultimate existences of the Past, Present, and Future?
Especially Ultimate existences of the Future Rule, who were incredibly scarce in any race, even fewer than Lords of Divine Kingdoms, with extremely high status and extremely tight protection.
"Alright..." Lin Qing shook his head slightly and said, "It seems cultivating an Ultimate existence is easier."
"That is the logic," Light King nodded slightly and said, "Your home, the Shanhai World, was once the Primordial Realm. You can find some Eternal existences who once reincarnated to the Primordial Realm, set conditions for them to reincarnate again to your home, and wait for the Ultimate position to descend."
"It is just too slow, too time-consuming," Lin Qing shook his head and said.
"The more excellent and powerful one is, the more likely they are to be granted the Ultimate position by the Infinite Chaos," Light King said. "Especially the Dukes; those who lived long enough almost all waited for the Ultimate position to descend, they simply were unwilling to breakthrough and deliberately gave it up."
Lin Qing understood his master's meaning.
The Dukes wanted to master the method of opening an inner universe with dual rules, and then achieve the Ultimate, so they could directly become dual-rule Ultimate existences.
If one first opened an inner universe with a single rule and then tried to evolve the inner universe from a single rule to dual rules, it would be like modifying a painting that had already taken shape; the difficulty was unimaginable.
But evolving directly from an inner world to an inner universe was much less difficult.
However, even if the difficulty was smaller, it was still a dual-rule inner universe, and the difficulty remained extremely high.
Many Eternal Peak experts, over countless trillions of years, found it difficult to master the method of opening a single-rule inner universe, let alone a dual-rule one.
The magnitude of the difficulty was unimaginable.
It was just that for Lin Qing, this problem did not exist.
He only needed to know what the final desired universe structure looked like and could simply advance it directly.
"However..."
The Light King instructed, "Before your reincarnation, you must resolve all lingering troubles; otherwise, when you are in a weak state after reincarnating, enemies may seize the opportunity."
Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "The main issue is Yu Gong, but I can also ask others for help."
"As long as you have it in mind," the Light King nodded.
"Yu Gong must die."
Inside the Flowing Years Hall, Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly. "Even with Lord Luo Shen's protection, if Yu Gong recruits more helpers or obtains certain special treasures from the Realm God at any cost, it is entirely possible he could destroy the Shanhai Realm or target me..."
Even with a Main God avatar, he would not truly die, but Eternal Divine Blood or certain special sealing methods, once struck, would be unsolvable.
Especially during the weak period, resisting karmic methods is almost impossible.
Therefore, it is best to resolve all lingering troubles in advance.
"Even Ultimate Existences cannot enter the Main Universe, so there is no need to worry; only Yu Gong..."
A hint of coldness rose in Lin Qing's eyes. "As long as Yu Gong is dealt with, I have no grudges with the other National Dukes; I can simply invite a few more to protect me..."
After all, Yu Gong has a deep relationship with the current Realm God, and he is unsure what other methods the latter possesses.
Even though the Void Sea of his homeland is territory assigned to him by the Void God Clan, Yu Gong's unauthorized entry is a grave crime, but the Void God Clan would not exterminate Yu Gong for this reason.
"To kill Yu Gong, one must first possess strength; the most troublesome part is facing the current Realm God..."
Lin Qing felt somewhat of a headache.
The current Realm God has publicly declared that Yu Gong is under his protection, so even the Immortal Realm Lord, the strongest of the Human Race, dares not kill him.
Moreover, Yu Gong's avatar is hiding in the Mirror Moon Sea, and there are very few capable of killing Yu Gong.
Even those who could kill him dare not do so.
If someone kills Yu Gong despite the current Realm God's public declaration of protection, that is slapping the current Realm God in the face!
Who dares to bear the wrath of the current Realm God?
"No matter how tight the plan, there is uncertainty; I will try again when I descend to the future next time..."
Lin Qing shook his head slightly and continued his seclusion.
