Chapter 430: The Cosmic God of Mind!

For Lin Qing, whose mental will had now reached the limit of infinite chaos, the influence of the Mind Realm’s mental pressure no longer posed any threat.

Even the core region of the original domain held little sway over him.

Deep within the core region, a towering temple floated amid a faintly illusory gray mist, emitting successive waves of strange mental fluctuations that spread outward in all directions.

“This temple…”

Lin Qing carefully studied the temple, recalling the relevant data provided by the Void God Clan.

This temple deep within the Mind Realm was suspected to be the origin of the entire Mind Realm; only those whose mental will had reached the limit of infinite chaos could withstand the mental pressure and enter it.

As for the origin of this temple?

Even the primordial ancestors of the Realm Gods could not determine it.

Moreover, even primordial ancestors of the Realm Gods could enter this temple only once; upon returning to the core region a second time, they could no longer find it.

All who entered the temple received a blessing from it.

This blessing might be a transmission of mental will, a secret technique of the Cosmic God level, or the method to forge a top-tier chaotic artifact of the mental type.

Meanwhile, the Mind Realm itself possessed a unique power to hone mental will; those with innate talent in willpower might unravel the mystery of this gray mist, triggering a transformation of their mental will—even reaching the limit of infinite chaos had occurred before.

Of course, the probability was negligible.

In the long history of the main universe, only the Star Abyss Lord of the Star Abyss Demon Clan achieved this; others were merely stronger than the masters of high-tier divine realms.

“Let’s go in.”

Lin Qing stepped forward and entered through the temple’s gate.

The temple was immensely grand, its internal spacetime intricate and convoluted, yet no matter which path one took, reaching its end granted the temple’s blessing.

Lin Qing walked along the corridor for a while, then suddenly noticed: “Huh? This corridor is testing spatial-temporal rules?”

These corridors contained one of the mysteries of past, present, or future spacetime; some fused past and present; others fused present and future; one had to master the corresponding rules to pass through them.

Although whether one was a single-rule or dual-rule cultivator, the blessing received was ultimately no different, the existence of such test-like corridors must carry meaning.

“Huh? This is…”

After delving deep into the temple’s labyrinthine corridors, Lin Qing suddenly froze in shock.

Because the corridor he now stood in was not merely dual-rule—it mixed the three spacetime rules of past, present, and future.

Though not yet perfectly fused into the ultimate chaotic rule, its difficulty far exceeded what dual-rule cultivators could overcome.

“Interesting…”

Lin Qing smiled faintly and continued forward along this corridor.

Though he had not yet transformed his internal universe with the ultimate chaotic rule, he had long since comprehended it.

“Getting harder.”

As he delved deeper into the temple, he found the corridor’s use of spacetime rules grew ever closer to the ultimate chaotic rule.

Finally, after traversing a vast corridor that shimmered like a starry sky, the application of spacetime rules here fully reached the level of the ultimate chaotic rule.

Lin Qing freely demonstrated the marvels of the ultimate chaotic rule as he advanced deeper along this corridor.

Decades later—

After passing through another dazzling, star-strewn, illusory corridor, Lin Qing came to a sudden stop.

Because… he had reached the end.

“This is…”

Lin Qing now stood within a boundless hall, at its center stood a humanoid statue of immeasurable height—tens of millions of light-years tall.

He was stunned.

According to the Void God Clan’s records, reaching the end led to a hall—but only an empty one, not one containing such a colossal statue!

“A place accessible only to those who master the ultimate chaotic rule?”

Lin Qing suspected as much.

At that moment, an unimaginable force seemed to pour down from the void; the statue slowly opened its eyes and looked down at Lin Qing.

Just one glance, and Lin Qing felt utterly exposed.

“Young friend.”

A voice echoed throughout the endless hall as the statue’s lips curved into a faint smile: “After three hundred sixty thousand aeons, I have finally waited for another Cosmic God successor.”

Lin Qing blinked in surprise: “Three hundred sixty thousand aeons? Again?”

He asked: “How long is one aeon?”

The towering humanoid statue smiled: “One aeon is the cycle from the birth to the destruction of your home’s main universe.”

Lin Qing was stunned.

Countless years had passed since the birth of the main universe, and its destruction was still unknown—yet this was merely one aeon?

And this colossal statue within the temple had waited for three hundred sixty thousand aeons?

How impossibly long was that span of time?

“If you truly inherit the position of Cosmic God and become the Lord of your home’s main universe, you will understand what I mean.”

The towering statue said: “Of course, you may choose another path—abandon your home’s main universe and forge a new small universe, allowing it to slowly grow until it rivals the main universe. But that is too troublesome, and it will be difficult to maintain its cosmic form; it will likely end up resembling your home’s universe tree or Star Abyss.”

Lin Qing was startled: “The Universe Tree and Star Abyss evolved from small universes?”

“Naturally,” said the towering statue. “But the masters of Star Abyss and the Universe Tree have long abandoned them. Should you ever encounter the ‘Dream Celestial Palace,’ you will understand—it was my own created small universe.”

Dream Celestial Palace?

Lin Qing’s mind stirred—he suspected this was something akin to Star Abyss and the Universe Tree.

He couldn’t help asking: “Wait, you just said you’ve waited three hundred sixty thousand aeons for only me as a Cosmic God successor? But I recall all six Cosmic Gods of my home’s main universe came here, didn’t they?”

"They came," said the towering statue casually. "But they didn't even comprehend the ultimate chaotic law—mere incomplete Cosmic Gods at best. They had no right to be my peers, so naturally, they never saw me."

Lin Qing was inwardly shocked.

Even the Three Primordial Ancestors of the Three Realms were beneath this being’s notice?

“Don’t mind them.”

The towering statue said: “If you become a Cosmic God, you won’t care about them either.”

“Are you also a Cosmic God?” Lin Qing asked.

“Yes,” said the towering statue. “The highest rank in infinite chaos is the supreme Cosmic God. But authority differs—I am the ‘Cosmic God of Mind.’”

“Cosmic God of Mind…”

Lin Qing murmured—it sounded like a being on the same level as the End Cosmic God.
