Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

Back when he first ventured into the Void Sea, he hadn't become a Void Dominator yet. During an encounter in the Deceitful Fog Sea, he met a struggling Void Divine Positioner. At that time, he accepted a Seven-Colored Divine Artifact from the other person and promised to avenge their enemy once he had enough confidence.

The enemy was also a Void Divine Positioner, ranked in the middle and lower tiers of the Star Abyss's twentieth layer.

Logically, to kill such a powerful being, a single Seven-Colored Divine Artifact as payment was far from enough.

But it was merely a small investment with a glimmer of hope; there was no expectation it would succeed.

Furthermore, for Lin Qing at that time, a Seven-Colored Divine Artifact was still very valuable.

Now, with his increased strength, Lin Qing roamed around the Void Sea. While planting a soul mark on the Main Star and the Void Star, he also fulfilled this commitment.

It seems that the Void Divine Positioner who gave him the Seven-Colored Divine Artifact back then should now understand... one of the persons they invested in was the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

However, Lin Qing was too lazy to continue any relationship. Completing the contract was already enough.

"It seems that in future civilization wars, our Mountain and Sea Realm shouldn't worry too much anymore."

Qi Lingxiao sighed, "Now I can safely go to the Supreme Star to attend that Void Level Divine Position test."

"Divine Position Test?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Master Qi, are you confident?"

He knew that nearly a million years ago, Qi Lingxiao had already become a Void Dominator, and hundreds of thousands of years ago, he created the Space Rule Divine Skill.

"Yes." Qi Lingxiao nodded, "You've crafted four Chaos Divine Artifacts for me, and with the fortuitous encounters over the years, my Genetic Index has reached millions of times the Cosmic Standard, my willpower is already up to par, and my combat power is at the twenty-first layer of the Star Abyss. Passing the Void Level Divine Position test is enough."

"That's good." Lin Qing nodded slightly, "With such incredible luck, it's absurd if Master Qi couldn't pass the Void Level test."

"I also don't know what's happening, my luck just keeps getting better."

Qi Lingxiao scratched his head, "Last time when I accidentally stepped into the ruins of the Lin Yuan Realm, I thought I was a goner, but somehow, I survived."

"Ruins of the Lin Yuan Realm?" Lin Qing was intrigued.

In the simulated future, after transcending the universe, Qi Lingxiao is directly guided away by a strong figure from the Lin Yuan Realm.

Perhaps it's related to this encounter in the Lin Yuan Realm ruins?

The Lin Yuan Realm is one of the three Demigod-level civilizations along with the Primordial Realm and the Immortal Realm, an apex civilization of the Human Clan, though still Third Level, it stands above King Realm and Tianyuan Realm Transcendent Level Civilizations like these.

The Three Great Holy Land Ancestors were never favored enough even in death to earn any reception from one of these Third Level civilizations, yet Qi Lingxiao was destined all along?

Such luck defies the heavens indeed.

"Speaking of which, when will you partake in the Chaos God Test?" Qi Lingxiao asked.

"Still need to wait a bit longer."

Lin Qing slightly shook his head, "I'll wait until my disciple becomes a Void Dominator, she should be close. Once I pass on the position of Master of the World to her, I'll head to the Supreme Star to participate in the Chaos God Test."

"Your disciple has high ambition and remarkable comprehension, though a bit stubborn." Qi Lingxiao nodded.

Lin Qing chuckled and shook his head, "Stubbornness can be good, at least... once decided, she won't easily change her mind."

"Master."

Just then, a clear and pleasant female voice echoed from outside the courtyard door, tone respectful.

Lin Qing couldn't help but smile, "Just mentioned the child, and here she comes."

He immediately called out, "Xiao Jing, come on in."

As the courtyard door opened, a tall young woman walked in, her black hair tidily tied behind her head, dressed in a neat and clean training outfit, exuding an air of calmness and spirit.

"Master." The young woman greeted respectfully.

"What brings you here? Something on your mind?" Lin Qing asked with a smile.

This young woman was his direct disciple taken thirty thousand years ago and could be said to be the truest successor to his ideals.

Shen Jingjing.

Like him, she was of original Earth Chinese descent and had faced many hardships from a young age. Possessing eyes that saw through life and the world with high mental fortitude, initially as a mere Original Life, she impressively traversed ten thousand layers of the Bronze Demon Mountain, which was truly astonishing.

Also, her comprehension was exceedingly high; she was considered the pinnacle of her generation in the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Despite her talents being only Sixth Energy Level in the Life System, Lin Qing paid no mind, for once he found this good seedling, he confirmed it nurturable. He then transferred authority, raised her talent to the Eleventh Energy Level, and used comprehensive bloodline treasures to uplift her Genetic Index, also giving her a treasure to cultivate avatars.

And Shen Jingjing did not disappoint him, successfully taking up the Cosmic Series Divine Position as well as the Commander-in-Chief Series Divine Position, precisely like him.

Her comprehension was indeed astonishing, learning the same World God and Primordial Annihilation Divine Skill as him, swiftly becoming a Void Creature, and even creating a Combined Divine Skill of her own.

It could be said that she and Lin Qing were indeed very similar, the only distinction being gender.

Thus, Shen Jingjing was the most likely candidate to inherit the position of Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm in the entire realm.

Lin Qing was very satisfied with this disciple.

Currently, Shen Jingjing was also about to become a Void Dominator.

"Master can free up the World Origin quota occupied by the disciple now."

Shen Jingjing respectfully stated, "The disciple now has full mastery of Space Rules, only needing to transform into the Space Divine Body to become a Void Dominator, and my avatar is on the way back to the Mountain and Sea Realm."

"Oh?" Lin Qing showed a trace of happiness and couldn't help but smile, "I guessed you'd soon break through, and it's even quicker than I predicted."

He nodded slightly, "Then you should start your breakthrough. Once you become a Void Dominator, the position of Master of the Mountain and Sea Realm should also be yours."

Shen Jingjing hesitated briefly upon hearing this, "But the disciple just became a Void Dominator, doesn't even know the Space Rule Divine Skill, is relatively weak, might not hold the fort in the Mountain and Sea Realm yet, perhaps master should wait for a while longer, until disciple..."

"No need."

Lin Qing slightly shook his head, "Now all civilizations only hold awe towards my Mountain and Sea Realm. If not to intimidate them, why did I publicly announce the cause of the Space-Time Island Ancestor's death?"

He patted Shen Jingjing's shoulder, "Even if I retire, no one in the Void Sea dares to touch the Mountain and Sea Realm."

"This..."

Shen Jingjing took a deep breath before resolutely declaring, "Yes, the disciple will do everything to protect the Mountain and Sea Realm."

"Relax." Lin Qing smiled, "Even if the sky falls, I'll bear it for you, so just focus on your cultivation. When I truly leave the Mountain and Sea Realm in the future, you won't bear the burden alone, Master Qi will also protect the Mountain and Sea Realm, and if worse comes to worst, just contact the Tianyuan Constellation Ancestor, I've already spoken to him."

"Yes." Shen Jingjing finally relaxed after hearing this.

Lin Qing chuckled, "However, someday in the future, I might come back to the position of Master of the Mountain and Sea Realm, just don't be rueful by then."

"Master is undoubtedly the Master of Civilization in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and the disciple is merely temporarily occupying the Master of the World position, if you need it, take it back anytime." Shen Jingjing said without hesitation.

"Just joking." Lin Qing laughed quietly, shaking his head slightly, "Alright, go break through. Afterward, I'll pass the position of Master of the World to you."

After Shen Jingjing left, Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but ask, "Isn't it a bit rushed to pass the position of Master of the World to her so soon?"

"No, the sooner I become a Chaos God, the better." Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

He needed to reincarnate to the King Realm as soon as possible, return to the Void Sea as a Chaos God, become a Main God, and transfer some of the Cosmic Origin accumulated in the Void Sea to delay the arrival of the Great Annihilation.

At the same time, becoming the Main God sooner would allow faster progress in Time Rules.

Perhaps... one day, he could also establish a Third Level Civilization?

At that time, allowing the Mountain and Sea Realm to transcend the universe to become a Transcendent Level Civilization's small universe would mean no longer worrying about the threat of Great Annihilation.

And this must be achieved before the next Great Annihilation arrives, so the faster, the better.

"After preparing for so many years, I can finally participate in the Chaos God Test..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, filled with anticipation.
