Chapter 303: Ancestor?
In the blink of an eye, more than a thousand years have passed.
Under Lin Qing's deliberate control, the bloodline genes, which could have quickly reached their limit, consumed the bloodline energy in the Bloodline Divine Crystal over a full millennium.
During this thousand-year period, Lin Qing's Genetic Index also continued to rise.
Finally, on this day, the Genetic Index stopped rising entirely, as if it encountered an incomparably solid shackle, reaching its true limit.
"My Genetic Index..."
Lin Qing murmured softly, slowly opening his eyes, sensing the changes in his body, and couldn't help but say softly, "Three million eight hundred thousand times the Cosmic Standard?"
Originally, his Genetic Index was about five hundred sixty thousand times the Cosmic Standard, now it had increased by more than three million times, a natural, immense enhancement.
The mere increase in Genetic Index elevated his strength to the Peak of the Twenty-first Layer, and invoking the Supreme Secret Technique to spur the Chaos Divine Artifact Set would be even more terrifying.
At the same time, Lin Qing felt like he had undergone some inexplicable and peculiar transformation.
The surrounding space-time seemed to have a sense of submission, like subjects bowing to a king, as if he could control the surrounding space-time at any moment.
"Don't you know?"
The black-haired woman beside him looked at Lin Qing in some amazement, "The universe's limit for Genetic Index is three million eight hundred thousand times the Cosmic Standard. I didn't expect you to have such a talent in developing bloodlines, being able to push the fourth-generation bloodline of the Void Divine Race to its limit in one go?"
"I feel like I've undergone some changes." Lin Qing raised his hands, somewhat puzzled, "It seems I can control the surrounding space-time?"
As he spoke, he tried to shift his mindset.
The surrounding space-time abruptly twisted, a powerful gravitational force instantly forming a microscopic black hole, even the flow of time kept changing, and then vanished again.
"I can really do it!"
There was a hint of amazement in Lin Qing's eyes.
His understanding of space-time was clearly limited to Space Rules, with Time Rules being still vague, yet he could control space-time?
Such space-time means could only be achieved by the Three Ancestors!
"Haha..."
The black-haired woman laughed, "Of course, when they say breaking through with power, your Life Level has already transformed into the Tenth Energy Level Life Form at the Cosmic Limit—Space Divine Body. Your Will has also reached the cosmic limit, and now even your genes have reached the cosmic limit. Having touched the cosmic limit on all three basic aspects, you can instinctively control space-time on a small scale."
She sighed, "Though it can't make you transcend, it's an enviable means for those under transcendence."
"Small-scale control of space-time?" Lin Qing nodded slightly.
Indeed, he sensed that he could control the space-time within several thousand meters around him.
Compared to the Three Great Holy Land Ancestors who could easily control innumerable miles of space-time and teleport to most locations in the Void Sea, this was nothing more than a miniature version.
"However, though your control over space-time is small, the degree of control is comparable to a Transcender."
The black-haired woman said, "At least a Transcender won't be able to control the space-time around you, unable to toy with you at will with space-time means."
Lin Qing nodded silently, feeling quite satisfied.
Moreover, he found that after distorting the surrounding space-time, he could completely conceal his presence in the space-time, hiding his aura entirely.
This way, even if he leaves the Mysterious Star Sea to act outside, he won't have to worry about being discovered by the Space-Time Island Ancestor!
The most important thing is—
He could, like the Three Ancestors, venture into other Void Secret Realms at will. Even if the Secret Realm Master of another Void Secret Realm tried to forcefully expel him using World Power, he could use this Microscopic Space-Time Domain to forcefully remain!
"Better than I had anticipated..."
A smile played at the corners of Lin Qing's mouth, "I can calmly prepare the Lifebound Artifact... Just in time to eliminate the Primordial Emperor..."
...
...
Central Sea Area, outskirts of the Mysterious Star Sea.
In the sky over a desolate sea region, a space-time vortex silently formed, from which emerged a figure—it was a young man in a black robe.
The surrounding space-time subtly changed, completely concealing this region.
"The Space-Time Island Ancestor indeed couldn't detect me..."
Lin Qing hovered quietly in mid-air for a while, then couldn't help but laugh, "Unless I actively disable the concealment, or the Space-Time Island Ancestor comes personally, there's absolutely no way to find me just by distant space-time sensing."
However, to be on the safe side, he was carrying no artifacts at the moment, only in a Unification State with the Black Flame Clone, while everything else was left with another avatar inside the Mysterious Star Sea.
Even if he died, he could resurrect at any time through the avatar inside the Mysterious Star Sea!
"I can begin now."
Lin Qing thought for a moment, "Let's start by dealing with the Four Emperors and Seven Marshals. The Primordial Emperor barely has the strength of the Twenty-second Layer in the Star Abyss; in his homeland, with the blessing of the World Origin, that's the Twenty-third Layer. With my current strength, even with an artifact, I am not definitely confident..."
Dealing with the Primordial Emperor must be approached with full assurance.
Otherwise, if the Primordial Emperor escapes and breaks through to become a Star Abyss Deputy Monarch, it will be troublesome.
So, he decides to wait until the Lifebound Artifact is refined, after which the Lifebound Artifact absorbs a drop of Cosmic God's Blood, transforming into a Cosmic Treasure before proceeding.
By then, he believed he would experience another surge in strength, giving him enough confidence to deal with the Primordial Emperor, even if he hides in his homeland world.
"Start with the Void Pirates!"
Lin Qing immediately hid within the Microscopic Space-Time Domain and began to fly at an astonishing speed.
