Chapter 803: Chapter 360: Great Beings Within the Time River (2)
"There’s nothing to regret."
The Marquis Star Refining spoke softly, "The human heart is inherently hard to fathom, even someone as powerful as His Majesty Guang Wang, who can see through the future, cannot see through it. I doubt he ever imagined the Primordial God Emperor and the King of the Divine Country would break their promises and turn into what they are now, much less me."
"It’s unavoidable." The small red snake sighed, "If given the choice, who would willingly live under someone else’s shadow?"
The Marquis Star Refining fell silent for a while before speaking, "Human nature hasn’t changed since the stone age of planetary civilizations. Even if they become so-called legends or attain the ultimate, it’s the same..."
...
Within the cultivation room in the manor.
Lin Qing sat cross-legged, surrounded by the faintly emerging magnificent Time River.
Simultaneously, a terrifying force continuously surged out from his Inner World, causing his Space-Time Divine Body to frantically transform, changing from the construction of each tiny particle, enhancing it to bear the great force of a world.
Days later.
Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes, sensing the terrifying power contained within his body, he couldn’t help but smile.
"The World Divine Body... has been achieved..."
Once the World Divine Body is accomplished, every action holds the great force of a world. Even if he understands no skills, the terrifying power contained within the World Divine Body itself can easily annihilate ordinary low-level Chaotic Creatures.
Such a powerful body serves as a foundation, and the Supreme Secret Technique can also be elevated to new extremes.
"With my current strength, even if I can’t defeat Marquis Shadow, I should be able to protect myself."
Lin Qing quietly assessed his current strength.
Compared to Marquis Shadow, he only lacks in terms of realm, and his Supreme Secret Technique has yet to be cultivated to its peak, but by relying on Illusion World Extinction, he can close the gap.
At the very least... there’s no qualitative difference anymore.
"First, comprehend the Future Body."
Lin Qing thought to himself, "Once the Future Body Mystery merges into Minor Achievement, I’ll have the qualification to seek the Glory King Pearl..."
Once the Black Flame Clone also transforms into the World Divine Body, it immediately consumed that drop of semi-finished Star Spirit Stone Marrow.
The icy liquid instantly transformed into a strange force, spreading throughout the Divine Body and even penetrating the soul.
Accompanied by the soul’s effortless penetration, Lin Qing also felt his mind become clearer, with improvements in the velocity of thought and spiritual insight.
"The effect is this strong, and it’s only a semi-finished Star Spirit Stone Marrow?"
Lin Qing felt the current impact and couldn’t help but be secretly amazed, "Even the semi-finished one is this formidable, no wonder the true Star Spirit Stone Marrow is greatly beneficial for overcoming bottlenecks..."
He wasted no time and immediately began focusing the Black Flame on comprehending in retreat.
While his main body was responsible for cultivating various Supreme Secret Techniques, he had prepared the necessary Chaos Treasures from the Chaos Trading House before coming.
Time passed.
In the blink of an eye, sixty years passed in the outside world, while sixty thousand years elapsed within the manor.
"Accomplished."
Lin Qing suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the desk in the Quiet Room.
In the next moment, he flicked his fingertips, and a beam of light shot out, instantly disappearing without a trace.
Following that, the Black Flame Clone extended a hand, and an immense invisible force immediately protected the desk completely.
Approximately three seconds later—
Despite the perfect protection from the Black Flame Clone’s power, the desk suddenly dissolved into nothingness.
"Changing the future in advance..."
Lin Qing revealed a hint of a smile, "This ’Future Body’ mystery finally fused into Minor Achievement."
When the Future Body Mystery is at its entry-level, one can escape to a fixed point in the future line, awaiting the present to reach the future. When the moment overlaps, it will descend into the present.
When the Future Body achieves Minor Achievement, after escaping into the future space-time, one can influence the future space-time to a certain extent.
For instance... like earlier, locking in the result in advance.
He let a strand of power escape three seconds earlier to that static point in future time, destroying the desk at that future point, so even if protected well, this desk was destined to be destroyed.
It’s akin to the effect preceding the cause.
This showcases the Future Rules’ mysteriousness and might.
Of course, the influence of the Future Body Mystery on the future is limited and consumes tremendously.
Even if perfected in Future Body Mystery, one cannot alter the future without restrictions.
Moreover, when faced with those terrifying existences whose future lines are elusive and unpredictable, the future altered by him may never come.
"Future Body Mystery is far from Perfection..."
Lin Qing stood up, "Let’s search for the Glory King Pearl first."
...
Letting the Black Flame Clone continue cultivating, Lin Qing left Heavenly Star Island. After Marquis Star Refining opened the space-time passage of the Holy Star, Lin Qing departed from this Holy Star.
After entering the starry sky, Lin Qing sensed the surrounding space-time was no longer restricted by the rules of the Holy Star. He immediately focused his mind—
"Swish—"
In an instant, a faintly visible grand river emerged out of nowhere, rapidly transforming into an almost real-like existence, concealing everything in the world, leaving only this immense and towering river in existence.
Lin Qing had already escaped into the Time River.
The Time River is the origin and termination of all, whether the Universe or Chaos, both fall under the embrace of the Time River.
Therefore... traveling through the Time River is the most efficient.
Yet, only High Level Chaos Creatures can escape into the Time River, as they cannot bring other creatures into it.
Though Lin Qing had already explored the Time River and wielded the will to influence it, this was his first genuine entry into the legendary Time River.
