Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

After connecting his consciousness to the Second Cosmic Network, Lin Qing received an invitation sent by the 'Tianyuan Sea Civilization Conference' in the Attached Space.

In a flash, Lin Qing found himself appearing in a vast hall.

In front of him were rows of bronze seats, each occupied by a figure emanating a powerful presence, and he was standing before one of these bronze seats, seemingly prepared just for him.

On the high platform, three figures sat majestically on golden thrones, surveying the area below.

Lin Qing looked up.

On the central golden seat was an old man with white hair and a black robe, looking at him with gentle eyes.

On the right was a strange person wrapped entirely in bandages, with only a hauntingly cold eye visible, staring at him with a somewhat aggressive look.

On the left was a beautiful girl with crimson long hair, who was also smiling as she sized him up.

Even in the Second Cosmic Network, Lin Qing could perceive the aura of these three that seemed to transcend everything, like they were beyond the universe.

"They must be the Secret Realm Masters of various civilizations, but these three are so special, could they be…"

Lin Qing immediately had a suspicion in his heart.

At this moment, the white-haired, black-robed elder on the high platform smiled and said, "The new Secret Realm Master has arrived. I wonder what your homeland civilization is called? Is it simply called Earth?"

All the eyes of the Secret Realm Masters turned to him, and Lin Qing paused for a moment before speaking, "From now on, it will be called the Mountain and Sea Realm."

"Mountain and Sea Realm?"

The many Secret Realm Masters, although unclear about the meaning of this name, still remembered this soon-to-be-renowned name across the Void Sea.

A civilization with the legacy of a Third Level Civilization is bound to be extraordinary.

"The Lord of Mountain and Sea."

The white-haired black-robed Tianyuan Constellation Ancestor smiled and said, "Let me remind you, although new civilizations in the Void Sea have a protection period, preventing them from being dragged into civilization wars for the time being, the period only lasts thirty-eight million years. Once it ends, the Mountain and Sea Realm will inevitably clash with other Secret Realms, creating a Void Battlefield. You can check the details here at your leisure."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

He was not yet familiar with the specifics of civilization wars, only knowing that between warring civilizations' Secret Realms, a Void Battlefield would form like a passage connecting the realms.

Thirty-eight million years…

It seemed long, but for a Second-level Civilization that can easily develop for hundreds of millions of years, it's actually quite short.

He also didn't know much about the specifics of civilization wars, but he had seen the White Tower Civilization, which lost such a war, and as the defeated party, they had to pay a price, like dividing resources, among other things.

"Moreover."

The Tianyuan Constellation Ancestor smiled and said, "In the future, our Tianyuan Civilization could have more interactions with your civilization, would you allow us to build a Wormhole in your realm?"

The crowd of Secret Realm Masters around burst into an uproar.

The Three Great Holy Lands transcend space-time, remaining aloof and unreachable, with many 2.8-level civilizations dreaming of interacting more with the Three Great Holy Lands.

Building a Wormhole, like opening a transportation route, would allow the people of both civilizations to travel back and forth at will, akin to establishing an alliance!

Weak nations have no diplomacy.

This saying applies equally to higher civilizations in the Void Sea.

A weak Second-level Civilization would be fortunate to serve as a subsidiary to those mighty civilizations.

As for the Three Great Holy Lands, they are even more exalted and detached from the world, and even 2.8-level civilizations generally aren't qualified to have dealings with them!

Not to mention building a direct Wormhole, even if some geniuses from the Three Great Holy Lands visit, the high echelons of various Second-level Civilizations treat them like honored guests, not daring to offend, which shows the status of the Three Great Holy Lands.

And now, this Tianyuan Constellation Ancestor, the Master of Tianyuan Civilization, actually proposed to form an alliance with a newly born civilization?

This stunned the Secret Realm Masters of various civilizations, making it difficult to comprehend.

Even if this new civilization possesses the legacy of a Third Level Civilization, so what?

In the Void Sea, every 2.8-level civilization has received some Third Level Civilization legacy, and below 2.8, there are quite a few with such an opportunity; among them, there are at least eighty civilizations blessed with such a legacy.

But even if the 2.8-level civilizations have some interactions with some high echelons of the Three Great Holy Lands, they aren't qualified to be their allies!

This left the Secret Realm Masters of the Second-level Civilizations perplexed.

"Oh?"

The Pantheon Ancestor, with long crimson hair, looking like a young girl, heard this and glanced at the Tianyuan Constellation Ancestor, then gazed at Lin Qing with increased interest.

And the Space-Time Island Ancestor, wrapped in bandages, also narrowed their eye slightly and glanced at Lin Qing.

"Build a Wormhole?"

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

Even though he didn't fully understand these matters, he understood their significance.

This Ancestor of the Tianyuan Sacred Land is so enthusiastic?

At that moment, many guesses and thoughts flashed through his mind. He then took a deep breath and said slowly, "My Mountain and Sea Realm civilization has just been born and is not yet stable. May I consider this, Tianyuan Constellation Ancestor?"

All the Secret Realm Masters around were somewhat stunned.

The illustrious Ancestor of a Sacred Land personally invites you, yet this great opportunity was actually declined?

However, the Tianyuan Constellation Ancestor remained calm, merely smiling and saying, "Indeed, there's no rush. Let me know whenever you decide."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Facing a Sacred Land Ancestor of such stature, he indeed felt the pressure.

It's said that even if a 2.8-level civilization's Secret Realm Master, who is considered invincible in their home realm, wouldn't dare provoke the Three Great Holy Land Ancestors.
