NOVEL WEB Chapter 327: This Is a Third Level Civilization? (Part 2)
Lin Qing silently committed it to memory.
So... the Future Rules consist of the three major Time Mysteries of Future Vision, Future Body, and Descent into the Future.
"However, although the strongest number practice the Now Rule, the proportion of those who reach the Eternal and Ultimate is even rarer in this group."
Xu Qingzhi sighed, "After all, both the Past Rule and Future Rule can achieve eternity with the perfection of the three major mysteries, but the Now Rule requires the perfection of four major mysteries to achieve eternity. Especially the Time Reversal Mystery, which is extremely challenging."
Lin Qing nodded thoughtfully.
He suddenly asked, "Is it possible to cultivate two Time Rules at the same time? For example, practicing both the Past and the Future?"
"It's almost impossible."
Xu Qingzhi shook her head, "The three major Time Rules represent the past, present, and future states of the universe, and they are essentially conflicting. The deeper your understanding of the Future Rule, the harder it becomes to comprehend the Past and Now Rules. It's almost impossible to practice them concurrently, even with an avatar. It's a matter of awareness and cognition."
She glanced at Lin Qing and said, "Even the Three Generations God of the Void Divine Race is the same. Don't overthink it; dual cultivation will only affect each other and ultimately ruin your future."
Lin Qing couldn't help but shake his head slightly upon hearing this.
Originally, he had thought of letting his avatar practice either the Past or Now Time Rules. Now it seems he should simply focus on cultivating the Future Rule.
"Actually, if the three major Time Rules can be cultivated to the extreme, they are all flawless."
Xu Qingzhi seemed worried that he could not figure it out and advised, "Moreover, the Future Rule is recognized as the strongest rule. Even if you practice another one, your strength wouldn't improve much."
Lin Qing nodded and said, "Relax, I understand."
"That's good." Xu Qingzhi sighed with relief and said, "When you reincarnate into the King Realm and restore your strength, you can let the Chaos God Avatar return to the Void Sea with the Light King Order, and then you can ascend to the Main God position."
Lin Qing nodded slightly and asked, "Is there anything I need to be cautious of in the King Realm?"
"Before your Chaos God Avatar returns to the Void, do not expose your identity as a Chaos God."
Xu Qingzhi warned seriously, "An untranscended Chaos God is understood by everyone to have the great fortune of possessing the Chaos God Heart, and some forces might make a move to seize your Chaos God Heart."
Lin Qing slightly raised his eyebrows and said, "I reincarnated into the King Realm with the permission of His Majesty Guang Wang; would others dare to act?"
"In your hometown's words, meeting the King is easy, but dealing with his servants is tough."
Xu Qingzhi said, "The King Realm, as a small universe, is magnitudes more enormous than the Void Sea, filled with countless powerful beings, both good and bad. Except for the Emperors and Kings, almost no one knows your origins. Even if you show the Light King Order given by His Majesty Guang Wang, probably only Eternal Existences could sense the Ultimate Being's aura; those below Eternal hardly recognize it and may not even believe it."
Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.
Indeed.
What kind of great being is His Majesty Guang Wang?
As the Lord of the Heavenly Light Divine Country, he stands supreme in the entire King Realm. Even other Ultimate Beings must bow, and Eternal Existences must look up to him.
For existences below Eternal, they may well be akin to ants to His Majesty Guang Wang.
And here he is, a small being who has just reincarnated and not yet transcended, claiming with a token that His Majesty Guang Wang is behind him. Who would believe it?
It's like in the 21st century on Earth, an ordinary person telling robbers they know the president and showing the president's proof of identification; would the robbers believe it?
It might indeed not work.
Those powerful beings may be ants to His Majesty Guang Wang, but to him, they are great troubles.
"Remember, trust no one."
Xu Qingzhi said softly, "The Three Great Divine Kingdoms and many nations are at constant war with each other; it's normal for some enemy nations to kill you. Obtaining the great fortune of the Chaos God Heart could instead bring them great merit!"
She shook her head slightly, "Moreover, His Majesty Guang Wang likely only promised to help you reincarnate, right?"
Lin Qing slowly nodded and said, "Indeed."
"So, after you reincarnate, it's quite normal for His Majesty Guang Wang not to help you again."
Xu Qingzhi sighed, "To a great being like His Majesty Guang Wang, even if you die, it's a small matter. At most, he could revive you in countless eons, but who knows how many billion years it would be."
Lin Qing gently nodded, "I understand."
"Just trust yourself, overall."
Xu Qingzhi said, "And don't trust that my Xu clan will truly help you either. A fortune like the Chaos God Heart is vital support on the eternal path, and many will give birth to greed. After I achieved Chaos Godhood, I dared not tell anyone but my master and brother."
Lin Qing couldn't help but feel surprised, "You're the disciple of an Ultimate Being, and there are still people who would go after you for the Chaos God Heart?"
"Of course, and quite a few."
Xu Qingzhi sighed, "Even with the backing of my master, an Ultimate Being, it's still possible to be targeted by people from opposing forces who also have the backing of Ultimate Beings. Why would they fear me?"
Lin Qing paused for a moment and couldn't help but ask, "With such top-tier forces in the King Realm, is there such a struggle? Don't the three Masters of Civilization intervene?"
"It's all under the direction of the three leaders."
Xu Qingzhi sighed, "Third Level Civilizations are probably not like you imagine; killing, plundering, and war are common occurrences. Especially many treasures in chaos, which are fought over to the death, only Ultimate Beings can coexist peacefully."
Lin Qing vaguely understood in his heart; it seemed there was some special reason.
"So, you must be patient and lay low until you regain your Chaos God status. Trust no one, including me."
Xu Qingzhi said, "I am also watched in my family. As Emperor's Disciple, I am constantly monitored by enemy forces. If I were to contact you, you'd also be in trouble; it's better to let you rise alone later."
Lin Qing understood her meaning and nodded, then said, "However, with my level, once I reincarnate and recover my memories, I can quickly regain to the Void Dominator Level and become a Chaos God again, which won't affect much."
Even if everything starts from zero after reincarnation, the powerful essence before reincarnation still exists, and the divine position's life form is already integrated into his soul.
As his Life Level gradually recovers, Genes, Divine Position, and so on will also continually recover.
Moreover, as long as the memory is restored, under complete Space Rules and strong Will, infinite Void Energy can be easily absorbed, rapidly restoring strength, without causing much delay.
"You're mistaken."
Xu Qingzhi slightly shook her head, "You have nearly True Transformation Will, and indeed you can retain all your memories after reincarnation, but even so, you can't regain to the extreme in one go."
"Why not?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.
"You must know that without the Time Tribulation brought by the Star Abyss, Void Creatures can achieve eternal life without death in a Third Level Civilization."
Xu Qingzhi sighed, "The cultivation environment in a Third Level Civilization is already good, and it's easy to give birth to eternally living Void Creatures. Over countless years, no matter how vast a small universe is, it can't accommodate so many Void Creatures."
Lin Qing couldn't help but be slightly taken aback.
Indeed so.
In the Main Cosmic, there are Star Abyss and Time Tribulations, so Void Creatures can't achieve eternal life.
But it's different in Third Level Civilizations.
"So... Third Level Civilizations encourage conflicts and wars."
Xu Qingzhi said, "All Void Creatures must serve in the military, participating in wars, whether it's inter-country wars or against the Star Abyss. This is a way to reduce the population."
She looked at Lin Qing and said, "Meanwhile, the Cosmic Rules in Third Level Civilizations also have energy supply limitations. Sufficient money must be paid to obtain energy supplies. Otherwise, Void Creatures will age and die without energy. Regions in the Third Level Civilization Universe also allocate different energy supplies based on contributions."
Lin Qing listened in some astonishment.
So... is this how Third Level Civilizations operate?
At this moment, he suddenly understood why Xu Qingzhi had previously said...
If you don't have enough strength and background, it's better to live in the True Universe.
"However, with your strength and talent, these difficulties should not be significant."
Xu Qingzhi said, "After you regain Chaos God strength and let your Chaos God Avatar return to the Void Sea, it's best to contact me after transcending. This way, you have enough self-protection power."
"Alright, I understand." Lin Qing slowly nodded, "Thank you for the guidance."
...
More than ten thousand years later, Lin Qing finally decided to use the Rebirth Technique and reincarnate into the King Realm.
