Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

Mountain and Sea Realm.

This vast and massive world has now grown and transformed significantly, nearing its first limit, with a diameter of over forty million kilometers.

Both the number of life forms and the number of strong individuals have increased several dozen times compared to eight thousand years ago.

Central State Region.

Now, Buzhou Mountain has also risen to a height of hundreds of thousands of kilometers, its range has expanded considerably, and the cities atop the mountain peaks remain.

In one of the cities, within an old-fashioned courtyard.

The young Moro sat somewhat dazed at a stone table in the courtyard, feeling very uneasy in his heart.

He was merely a Star Creature, naturally unable to resist the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm, unable even to leave this courtyard, and could only wait for the Lord's decision.

The most important thing is...

Just now, his father told him that this Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm didn't even give face to that important figure from the Time-Space Island, which made that figure furious.

"Moro."

Lin Qing suddenly appeared in the courtyard, looking at Moro with a calm gaze, and said, "I'm sorry to say, but the true disciple of the Space-Time Island Ancestor, mentioned by your father, poses no threat to me and instead angered me, so... whether you wish to join my Mountain and Sea Realm or not, I'm not prepared to let you leave."

Moro remained silent for a moment, gritted his teeth, and said, "Sir, my father wishes to speak with you once more."

"Oh?"

Lin Qing raised an eyebrow slightly, and at the same time, noticed an invitation from Buverais on the Second Cosmic Network.

He also had something to say, so he did not refuse.

In the private attached space of the Second Cosmic Network, Buverais spoke with a somewhat bitter smile, "Mr. Lin Qing, after all, Frost Yan is a true disciple of the Space-Time Island Ancestor, and now that he is furious, I fear that our situation might not be comfortable..."

"Situation?" Lin Qing replied in an indifferent voice, "What about being a true disciple of the Ancestor?"

Buverais sighed and said, "But what about billions of years later? Is Mr. Lin Qing willing for his home civilization to be destroyed just like that?"

"That's none of your concern." Lin Qing's expression was cold, "You are indeed righteous and selfless, sacrificing your son for your home?"

Moro couldn't help but be stunned, "Sacrifice?"

Buverais slightly frowned, then glanced at Moro and said, "Moro, you step outside first."

"What?" Lin Qing responded coldly, "Willing to let him blindly be the bait, but not willing to let him know the truth?"

Moro grew increasingly incredulous, looking at Buverais, "Father?"

Buverais frowned, shook his head, and said, "I am only doing it for the family and civilization."

He looked at Moro and slowly said, "Moro, you are born from my spending of Treasure resources, and sacrificing for the family and civilization is your duty. I kept it from you only to spare you some worry and pain. Do you understand?"

Moro looked blankly at his father, his voice trembling, "Father, didn't you say you hoped I'd become a pillar of the family, a source of pride? Why the bait..."

Buverais frowned and said, "I have been more than lenient with you in the past, seldom indoctrinating you about the loyalty you owe to the family, and now, you have no sense of repayment at all? The family birthed you, nurtured you, naturally it has the right to decide your fate, do you not understand even this?"

Moro was stunned, couldn't help but say with a trembling voice, "I didn't choose to be born, if I knew being born meant being bait for the future of the family, how could I ever be willing!"

"You..."

Buverais's face turned icy cold, just about to reprimand, when Lin Qing interrupted with a cold voice, "Reis Clan Leader, humans are born free, especially the strong, do you dare to use these words to educate other Void Dominators of the Reis family?"

The path of strength, the further you go, the higher the requirements for spiritual will.

And the human heart naturally yearns for freedom; a Void Dominator, dominates not only space but also their own destiny.

If one even loses oneself, the spiritual will cannot be strong enough.

Buverais was also momentarily stunned, evidently knowing his rhetoric was untenable.

Initially, when Moro hadn't been noticed by Frost Yan, he was aiming to cultivate Moro as a Void Dominator, naturally impossible to brainwash him like a Death Warrior Slave.

"...Just dependent on the strong."

Buverais took a deep breath, and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Lin Qing, your Mountain and Sea Realm is now only a newly born civilization. Without protection, you might also choose as I did."

"What you said is not wrong." Lin Qing replied in an indifferent voice.

Buverais was silent for a moment and said, "Moreover, what Mr. Lin Qing said, is simply wanting Moro to join the Mountain and Sea Realm."

He looked at Lin Qing, "Given the situation, I can agree, as long as Mr. Lin takes out a Domain Type Seven-Colored Divine Artifact of the Nature Element and allows Moro to contribute to the family at crucial moments, Moro will be someone of the Mountain and Sea Realm from now on."

Originally, he intended to associate with Frost Yan, this true disciple of the Holy Land Ancestor, to ensure the long-term continuation of his family and hometown civilization.

But he didn't expect Lin Qing to be so arrogant, daring to tear faces with Frost Yan without giving any face, and even directly bringing Moro back to the Mountain and Sea Realm?

So, he had no choice but to pursue the maximum benefit under such circumstances.

"Seven-Colored Divine Artifact?"

Lin Qing laughed, "Previously, when I gave you the Seven-Colored Divine Artifact, you didn't want it, and now you dare to make demands of me?"

His expression cold, "It's too late, I won't even give a single Void Coin now."

Buverais's face changed.

"Mr. Lin Qing..." He said with an unpleasant expression in a low voice, "When the Reis family cultivated a genius like Moro, it wasn't without restrictions, he also has contracts on him, if I do not agree, he cannot betray the family."
