Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

Moreover, the will of the Star Abyss Monarch constantly keeps an eye on the Primordial Emperor. As soon as any Transcendent Universe entity targets the Primordial Emperor, the Primordial Emperor will notice it.

In other words, to completely resolve the matter with the Primordial Emperor, you can't just head to that 2.9-level civilization relic, nor can you ask the three Ancestors for help, and you have to have the strength to deal with the Primordial Emperor.

"In that case..."

After contemplating for a while, Lin Qing had already formed a plan in his mind, "Then I'll do it myself. If all goes smoothly, I might be able to surpass that Immortal Realm's Child of Chaos in strength."

In the simulation of the future, he successfully ascended to the Chaos God and even became the Life Main God.

During those days as the Main God, he traversed the Void Sea and discovered many Third Level civilization relics and opportunities.

If he hadn't been unable to leave the Void Sea after becoming the Main God, he could have obtained these opportunities, including one already destroyed Third Level relic hiding clues about the fourth generation bloodline of the Void Divine Race.

"And those chosen by the Void Tomb city lords as successors..."

Lin Qing secretly mused, "Although only one has been born at this time, if nurtured well enough, it's entirely possible for me to obtain the 'City Lord Lan's' Supreme Secret Technique!"

If he can absorb these opportunities in advance, his strength could potentially surpass that of the Immortal Realm's Child of Chaos.

Although it's impossible to defeat that terrifying Star Abyss Monarch, once he becomes the Chaos God, he can at least delay the Star Abyss Monarch's timing of initiating the Great Annihilation.

"First, to win this civilization war, exposing just a bit of strength is enough."

Lin Qing had already made up his mind.

...

Mountain and Sea Realm, atop Buzhou Mountain.

Qi Lingxiao sat cross-legged above a sea of clouds, thoughtfully deducing, with hands helplessly supporting his chin, "Why is it still a little bit off? Are the Seven Phase Divine Skills really that hard?"

He also knew that the civilization war was approaching. If he could create the Seven Phase Divine Skills, combined with the Seven-Colored Divine Artifacts Lin Qing gave him, he could reach the Star Abyss Sixteen Layers strength, fully qualifying as a Void Level citizen of the Primordial Realm.

By then, his strength would soar again, allowing him to decisively influence the victory on the Void Level battlefield!

Over the years, he had also been working tirelessly.

However, even though he devised hundreds of Seven Phase Divine Skills, all theoretically viable, he still couldn't successfully cultivate any.

Suddenly——

"Master Qi."

A figure appeared in the cloud sea out of thin air, standing opposite Qi Lingxiao.

"Lin Qing?" Qi Lingxiao looked up.

"How's Master Qi's cultivation going?" Lin Qing asked with a smile.

"The Seven Phase Divine Skills are still just a bit out of reach. They theoretically work, but unfortunately, they can't be cultivated..." Qi Lingxiao shook his head in helplessness.

"Oh?" Lin Qing remained calm.

He had already known this.

In the simulation of the future, even when the civilization war began, Qi Lingxiao hadn't managed to create the Seven Phase Divine Skills. During the battle, he was merely at the peak of Star Abyss Fifteenth Layer, pretty powerful yet unable to change the situation on the Void Level battlefield.

Of course, the reason for losing the civilization war in the simulated future wasn't solely because this Secret Realm Master lost; it was the same for the Void Level battlefield.

Even with the Cosmic Insect Beast raised by Moro, it could barely resist the Canggui Civilization, who had long been prepared. Facing the enemy's elite Void Level battle squad, it couldn't hold out for long.

Thus, to win the civilization war now, not only does he, the Master of Civilization, have to win, but the Void Level battlefield must also conquer.

"Master Qi, take a look."

Lin Qing invoked his thoughts and immediately retrieved a mirror that resembled ice crystal, reflecting countless lights and showing a faint ice crystal world.

"What's this?" Qi Lingxiao was a bit puzzled.

"It's called the 'Thousand Illusion Ice World'," Lin Qing explained. "It significantly enhances comprehension, making the creation of divine skills much easier. With its assistance, creating the Seven Phase Divine Skills should be much simpler."

"This..." Qi Lingxiao said, "You should keep it. Your breakthrough would better aid the Mountain and Sea Realm, and the Master of Civilization battleground in the civilization war also depends on you."

"I don't need it," Lin Qing smiled. "What formidable opponents can they match in the first civilization war? At most, there'd only be a super strong Void Dominator, which with my strength, Master Qi thinks I wouldn't win?"

Though he knew what lay ahead in the future, saying this would reassure Qi Lingxiao.

"Then... alright." Qi Lingxiao understood the critical moment now and did not decline further, accepting it.

"Master Qi, do give your all," Lin Qing chuckled, "We're counting on you on the Void Level battlefield."

Qi Lingxiao nodded, "Then I'll continue my closed-door training."

Lin Qing gave a nod with a smile, then vanished from the spot.

He had assisted as much as he could; whether Qi Lingxiao succeeded depended on Qi Lingxiao himself.

Afterward, Lin Qing edited messages on the Second Cosmic Network and sent them to those civilizations having frequent trade with the Mountain and Sea Realm, starting to purchase cultivation resources with Five-Colored Artifacts.

As long as a batch of Void Creatures is nurtured and given enough treasures, reaching the pinnacle of the Fifteenth Layer using the secret techniques brought back from the King Relics is entirely possible.

Should a large number of such powerful Void Creatures emerge, they could easily dominate the battlefield.

If Qi Lingxiao achieves his breakthrough, serving as a spearhead on the Void Level battlefield, the chances of success would be even greater.

As for himself as the Master of Civilization?

Does the hallmark value of the Child of Chaos even need asking?

...

Once everything was arranged in the Mountain and Sea Realm, Lin Qing left for a 2.4-level civilization in the Void Sea's Western Extreme Sea Area—

Water and Civilization.

Though the Bronze Demon Mountain didn't provide a Guiding Imprint for Water and Civilization, some high-end auctions on the Second Cosmic Network included selling Guiding Imprints for the Water and Civilization.

Lin Qing, naturally concealing his identity, purchased a Guiding Imprint of the Water and Civilization.

He then steered his Seven-Colored Divine Artifact Ship, transformed into a Void Boat, into the Void Secret Realm where the Water and Civilization resided.

When crossing the border of Water and Civilization, Lin Qing suddenly looked towards a direction in the void, a faint smile forming at the corner of his mouth.

...

At the highest point of the Water and World, a majestic temple stood suspended.

At this moment, a handsome man with faint golden wings stood on the edge of the temple, frowning as he looked down towards the world entrance billions of miles below.

"Void Dominator?"

The golden-winged handsome man frowned, "Specifically purchased a Guiding Imprint of my Water and World?"

Although he knew clearly that the Guiding Imprint used by this Void Dominator to cross Water and World's boundary was one he sold, he hadn't expected a Void Dominator to enter.

After all, some of the Water and World's wonders and treasures were useless to a Void Dominator.

Now that a stranger Void Dominator entered, he naturally needed to be cautious.

"Hmph, best not cause trouble."

With a slight squint, the handsome man turned and went back into the temple.

Although he was just a Void Dominator, being the Secret Realm Master, he could mobilize World Power to forcefully expel even a Void Divine Positioner.

By cautiously staying alert, avoiding a sneak attack was enough.

...

Within the Water and World, Lin Qing sailed atop the Divine Artifact Ship while sensing the Heart of Infinite within his body, feeling puzzled.

"Strange..."

Lin Qing frowned slightly, "Based on what I know, that youngster suitable to become the City Lord Lan's successor should've been born here in the Water and World by now. Where has he gone?"

At this time, the Heart of Infinite within him showed no response, which implies that either the individual was not within the Water and World, or they were in another dimension of it, since the Heart of Infinite could sense everything within a space.

"What a bother... Water and World is also a subordinate civilization under the Starfall Civilization, making it impossible to directly reveal my identity..."

Lin Qing was a bit helpless, "Forget it, I'll investigate slowly."
