NOVEL WEB Chapter 327: This Is a Third Level Civilization?
"I don't know much either."
Xu Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "As far as I know, there's really only one widely accepted method."
She looked at Lin Qing and said, "Any Ultimate Being can open a Microcosm within themselves, but that's just an Inner Cosmic, unable to truly exist within Endless Chaos. However... it's said that if three Ultimate Beings separately master 'Past Space-Time Rules,' 'Now Space-Time Rules,' and 'Future Space-Time Rules,' these three powers combined can open a Small Universe that can exist within Chaos!"
"Past, future, present?"
Lin Qing murmured, understanding why this method was considered almost impossible.
Indeed, it is nearly impossible.
Gathering three Ultimate Beings is already extremely difficult, and having these three separately master past, future, and present Space-Time Rules is even more inconceivable.
"If you have some understanding of Third Level Civilizations, you'll find that nearly all leaders of Third Level Civilizations are actually in threes."
Xu Qingzhi said, "For example, the Lords of the Three Great Divine Kingdoms in the King Realm are three Masters of Civilization, all leaders of the King Realm—this is even true for the Divine Level Civilization's Void Divine Race, or the Star Abyss Demon Clan."
Lin Qing finally understood.
No wonder the ages of the Void Divine Race's Three Gods precisely correspond to the past, future, and present.
Could it be that this universe was created by the three gods of the Void Divine Race?
"But this is too difficult..."
Lin Qing shook his head slightly and said, "I once heard His Majesty Guang Wang say that cultivators of Future Rules are one in ten thousand among Ultimate Beings, if a thousand Ultimate Beings may not even have one Future Rules cultivator, this is indeed..."
"That's not quite right." Xu Qingzhi said in surprise, "What His Majesty Guang Wang told you was likely the proportion among the total, but in reality, the probability distribution of Future Rules cultivators isn't uniform."
She explained, "If we insist on saying, there might be less than one in a hundred thousand Transcenders who cultivate Future Rules, but at the Eternal Level, those who achieve Eternal Existence, aren't they all extremely talented in Time cultivation? So the proportion of Eternal Existences cultivating Future Rules is much higher, and even further at the Ultimate level."
Lin Qing realized, then said, "But it's still very difficult, otherwise Third Level Civilizations wouldn't be so rare."
Xu Qingzhi smiled, saying, "That's natural, even among Ultimate Beings, it's rare to fully master Future Rules, at least rarer than the number of Third Level Civilizations."
Upon hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a bit strange and asked, "Eternal Existences who master Future Rules are fewer than the number of Third Level Civilizations? Why?"
To create a Third Level Civilization, you must have past, present, and future three Ultimate Beings, even if Ultimate Beings who master Future Rules are rare, their numbers should at least equal that of Third Level Civilizations.
"This involves another method of establishing Third Level Civilizations."
Xu Qingzhi said, "If the three Ultimate Beings are missing one, a legendary 'Pillar-level Cosmic Treasure' containing Future Space-Time Rules can replace an Ultimate Being who masters Future Rules."
"A Pillar-level Cosmic Treasure containing Future Space-Time Rules?"
Lin Qing suddenly understood.
He has a Lifebound Cosmic Treasure that has the potential to grow into a Pillar-level.
"There's no need to think too much."
Xu Qingzhi shook her head slightly and said, "I know, beings like you from the Main Cosmic Void Sea always hold expectations, hoping your homeland's civilization can transcend the Universe and become a Third Level Civilization, but since the Universe's creation until now, there have only been so few Third Level Civilizations throughout the years."
She glanced at the Void Sea and said, "Besides, your Void Sea is one of the mediocre ones among many Void Seas in the Universe, not even having one to enter the Time River, let alone Eternal Existence."
"Entering the Time River?" Lin Qing asked with curiosity.
He's heard of the Time River, which only Transcendent Experts can perceive and sense—a dimension above the Transcendent Universe!
Transcendent Experts follow the traces of the Time River's flow to leave the Universe.
However, he didn't know that Transcenders could enter the Time River?
"Yes, truly entering the Time River."
Xu Qingzhi said, "Any Time Mystery, like Time Acceleration, Time Deceleration, or even Future Vision in the Future Rules, as long as cultivated to Perfection and the Inner World undergoes transformation, one can enter the Time River."
"Any Time Mystery cultivated to Perfection?" Lin Qing contemplated.
He also knew the Three Time Rules contain various mysteries, just not clear which ones.
However...
It seems, not one of the three Holy Land Ancestors of this Void Sea has cultivated any Time Mystery to Perfection.
"How many Time Mysteries are there in Time Rules?" Lin Qing asked curiously.
Xu Qingzhi patiently explained, "There are ten, with four Time Mysteries in the Now Rule, and three Time Mysteries each in the Past and Future Rules."
She continued, "The Now Rule includes Time Acceleration, Time Deceleration, Time Freeze, and Time Reversal, representing four influences on present time."
She further said, "As for Past and Future Rules, these two are rare and quite similar—Past Rule includes Past Vision, Past Body, and Descent into the Past; Future Rule includes Future Vision, Future Body, and Descent into the Future."
