Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

"This child actually chose not to return directly through the Heavenly Light Divine Country?" The Light King watched with interest. "Does he have the confidence to leave the Myriad Seas territory on his own?"

He could see that the Cangyuan Empire had already begun to seal space-time nodes.

Within the tributaries of the Cangyuan Empire's Time River, it seemed as if barriers had sprung up, blocking routes that led out of Cangyuan Empire, with Eternal Peak powerhouses rushing to them.

However, Lin Qing appeared oblivious to it all, choosing a nearby space-time node and directly traversing it.

In just a short while, Eternal Peak powerhouses from the Cangyuan Empire arrived at that space-time node and, using Treasures, established layers of seals. Even if they forcibly broke through, it would take some time for even dozens of Eternal Peak powerhouses to overcome.

"Is the child confident enough to force through?" The Light King was somewhat surprised.

The next moment, he saw the answer.

Lin Qing, having traversed to that space-time node, did not make a move, yet the surrounding space-time began to rapidly rewind at an astonishing speed. The powerhouses charging towards him retreated accordingly, and the layers of perfect seals formed by various Treasures reverted to their pre-combined state, like a film playing backwards.

Time Reversal!

Logically speaking, under these layers of seals, the space-time should be extremely stable, and techniques formed naturally by the Eternal powerhouses' will would not likely affect it.

Yet there are exceptions—

"Is such a space-time domain this terrifying?"

"He is a Duke-level powerhouse!"

"Quickly escape!!"

"He's a Duke-level powerhouse from the Heavenly Light Divine Country!"

And those Eternal powerhouses surrounding them as time continuously rewound were all struck with fear, leaving none daring to approach.

Subsequently, Lin Qing directly left along the space-time node.

"This space-time domain..."

The Light King watched this scene in awe, "Is it a Dual Space-Time Rules domain?"

Space-time domains have very little effect on entities of the same level because they are purely driven by the willpowered space-time. The strength also depends solely on the mastery of space-time, unrelated to Genes, Inner World, and so on.

With only the Now Rule domain, the extremely stable sealed time couldn't possibly be reversed!

But a Duke-level who mastered two space-time rules was different.

Combining two space-time rules is a transcendence of dimension or position, even a seemingly useless space-time domain holds incredible mysteries!

"My disciple actually..."

The Light King felt incredible, "Mastered the Now Rule so quickly?"

This disciple has never reincarnated for retraining, still being affected by the Future Rules, yet so quickly mastering the Now Rule!

Even with the Time Acceleration of the Flowing Years Hall, less than a billion years had passed!

In a billion years, mastering one time rule is already enough to be called an unparalleled genius.

The interference affecting a second space-time rule means that even spending extensive time, success is nearly impossible, given that the ultimate bottleneck is countless times more difficult than the past.

Thus, reincarnation for retraining is almost the sole hope for success.

"It's truly a miracle..."

The Light King took a deep breath, watching Lin Qing return through the Time River to the Heavenly Light Divine Country, and transmitted, "Disciple, come here once."

…

"You..."

The Light King scrutinized the surreal Lin Qing in front of him and couldn't help but ask, "Succeeded with the Now Rule?"

"Yes, Master," Lin Qing nodded, "But my Inner World structure hasn't yet adapted to accommodate two space-time rules, so my Inner World hasn't transformed."

"No wonder your Life Level is still at the Eternal Peak..." The Light King nodded slightly, then couldn't help but ask, "You haven't reincarnated to retrain, yet cultivated so quickly? Was it not affected by Future Rules when cultivating the Now Rule?"

Lin Qing did not hide anything and immediately said, "Master, by a stroke of fate, I obtained a unique Chaos Creature as an avatar, called 'Nine Minds Sage', naturally endowed with the talent to cultivate the second space-time rule uninfluenced. The disciple wishes to cultivate 'Without Cause and Effect' to find its whereabouts."

"Cultivate the second space-time rule without interference?" The Light King was astonished, "As the Master, this is the first I've heard."

"Master, I also discovered this Chaos Creature in the inherited memories from the Burning Universe Lord's bloodline," Lin Qing said. "This Chaos Creature is unique even in Endless Chaos and has an appearance and aura identical to humans, so even Ultimate Beings can hardly discern its essence of a Chaos Creature."

"Unique?" The Light King realized.

In Endless Chaos, those called unique Chaos Creatures are all extremely peculiar!

This kind of talent is normal.

"You indeed have grand opportunity," The Light King smiled and shook his head. "The toughest Dual Space-Time Rules are achieved, and constructing the Inner World is also just a matter of time."

He was satisfied with his disciple, "It seems, soon we will have another Duke-level powerhouse in our Heavenly Light Divine Country."

"Master, I still don't know how to construct the Inner World based on dual space-time rules," Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

"Haha."

The Light King laughed and said, "Go consult your senior brother and third brother. Although you use Now Rule and Future Rule, and they use Now and Past, there is some common ground you can refer to."

Hearing this, Lin Qing suddenly had a thought, "Oh yes, Lord Su! She once cultivated all three space-time rules, she could certainly help me!"

"Were you deliberately disguising as a Duke-level powerhouse to search for the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower?" The Light King asked with a smile.

"Yes, I used the Chaos Treasure 'Faceless God' from the Treasure Hall, and combined with Now World God's feather, even the Lord of the Divine Country needs to be close to potentially see through it," Lin Qing said. "Having an unknown Duke-level powerhouse in the Heavenly Light Divine Country's camp should keep Myriad Seas and Yuan Chu's side constantly on guard."

"Indeed, very good."

The Light King nodded slightly, increasingly satisfied, "The more Myriad Seas and Yuan Chu's side are cautious and afraid to act recklessly, the more advantageous this Divine Country war is to us."

A hidden unknown Duke-level powerhouse poses the most unsettling threat.

"In two or three millennia, the Void Divine Race will begin selecting new third-generation bloodline inheritors."

The Light King said, "You can use this disguised identity to participate in the selection then."

"That's exactly what I intended," Lin Qing nodded.

"Go cultivate then, I won't take up your time anymore," The Light King smiled and said.

…

Upon Lin Qing's return to the Flowing Years Hall, he began integrating the newly acquired Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower into his Inner World.

The role of the Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower as a World Treasure is simply—

Even if the Inner World collapses, upon dispersal, it merely transforms into a boundless form, never truly disappearing; as long as the will is gathered, the world can be reconsolidated and restored.

In other words, having this Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower means even if his main combative avatar is destroyed, he can easily restore his Inner World!

"Not bad..." Lin Qing showed a hint of a smile.

Although his strength has progressed significantly, many entities remain stronger than him.

If the main combative avatar is destroyed and the Inner World collapses, he'd be heartbroken. Treasures like Cosmic Tree Branches and World Pillars are not easily found again if lost.

"All that remains is the transformation of the Inner World..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, "What should the structure be for a world based on Dual Space-Time Rules? And for all three space-times?"

In fact…

He hasn't merely mastered Dual Space-Time Rules but all three great space-time rules!

With the joint efforts of the Main God Avatar and the Nine Minds Sage Avatar, within these nearly billion years, he has mastered the Past Rule and Now Rule!

Plus his originally mastered Future Rule…

At this moment, Past, Now, and Future, the three major space-time rules have been mastered!

The Nine Minds Sage Avatar has also transformed eternally, no longer needing to worry about the Nine Minds Sage Avatar being killed and its related memories disappearing.

However…

Simply understanding the rules doesn't mean significant changes in strength; crucially, the Inner World must also transform.

A world based on Dual Space-Time Rules is already extremely complex, and he has no good ideas, let alone for the more complex and difficult three major space-time rules as foundation!

True space-time rules, or rather Chaos Ultimate Rule, are incredibly complex, and he can't even conceive a single theory, let alone prepay.

"Just having a suitable theory will do..."

Lin Qing frowned and contemplated for a while, deciding to consult his senior and third brothers.

And… Lord Su.
