CHAPTER 638: CHAPTER 288: LAYING THE GROUNDWORK AHEAD OF TIME

"The divine skill advancement is complete..."

Lin Qing felt the terrifying power inside his body, vastly different from before. With a thought, a strange divine artifact as dazzling as an ice pillar appeared in his hand, exuding a chaotic and obscure aura.

A set-type chaos divine artifact ’Silent Vacuum’.

The rarity of set-type seven-colored divine artifacts has already surpassed a single chaotic divine artifact, while set-type chaos divine artifacts are even rarer by a thousandfold!

"Fix."

Lin Qing immediately controlled the source of this set of divine artifacts, ’Silent Vacuum’, using his self-created perfect-level combined divine skill to modify and shape it.

The aura emitted by the divine artifact’s source began to align with him in cultivation until it perfectly matched him.

After a short while—

"Done."

Lin Qing showed a slight smile, immediately integrating the set-type divine artifact ’Silent Vacuum’ into his body, clearly sensing its vast power, akin to a vast world, completely mastered by his perfect-level combined divine skill.

This is a terrifying power that can rival a Child of Chaos!

"Although it’s not a lifebound artifact, it’s already enough."

Lin Qing stretched out his hand, summoning the original set-type seven-colored divine artifact ’Nine Source World Master’.

"Nine Source World Master, let’s use it to refine a lifebound artifact."

In the simulation of the future, he had already refined his lifebound set-type chaos divine artifact.

However, just gathering various precious materials took a long time, raising the divine state to the chaos color, obtaining more cosmic favor, and eventually using Nine Source World Master as the artifact embryo to refine a lifebound artifact.

"In the simulation of the future, although I attained Chaos God, it was indeed risky, almost failing..."

Lin Qing contemplated his next plan, "Another attempt has a considerable chance of success, but it requires moving step by step to achieve the best possible outcome..."

"Hmm... better handle this civilization war first."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, "This civilization war is the first killing scheme of the Star Abyss Monarch, capable of reaching such an extent..."

In the simulation of the future, the first civilization war of the Mountain and Sea Realm occurred roughly a thousand years after the protection period, encountering an extremely rare five-sided civilization battle.

Most importantly, the Mountain and Sea Realm, a newly promoted second-level civilization, matched with four other civilizations, one of which was a 2.7-level civilization!

Canggui Civilization.

This Canggui Civilization is an ancient civilization with billions of years of history, extremely profound, whose Master of Civilization is an unparalleled expert roaming the Void Sea, having already cleared twenty layers of the Star Abyss.

In the simulated future, he was no match for these two, the Master of Civilization battlefield lost, the Dominator level battlefield had no one, and even the Void level battlefield was lost.

Thus, the Mountain and Sea Realm lost its first civilization war.

No way.

It’s not that the Mountain and Sea Realm is weak, but the matched opponents were excessively strong, abnormal.

Later, Lin Qing realized that this inexplicable civilization war was secretly pushed by the Star Abyss Monarch, using a treasure that could influence civilization wars, making the Canggui Civilization’s record appear as if cleansed, leading to the match with the Mountain and Sea Realm.

After the Mountain and Sea Realm lost, the Master of Canggui Civilization did not choose to split away a tenth of the Mountain and Sea Realm’s territory but proposed a relatively simple request.

—Simply wanting Lin Qing for his talented help in retrieving a treasure from a 2.9-level civilization’s relic.

In the future simulation, he did not realize this was a trap, and once entering the 2.9-level civilization relic, the Primordial Emperor preemptively ambushed in the relic emerged.

Fortunately, he knew ahead of time that the Primordial Emperor was a Star Abyss Apostle, and would try to sever his path as a Chaos God, so he invited the Tianyuan Constellation Ancestor to secretly protect him, thus resolving this crisis.

"However, this approach is not optimal..."

Lin Qing slightly frowned, "The Primordial Emperor, as a Star Abyss Apostle, could become an embodiment for a power of the Star Abyss Monarch..."

In the future simulation, he avoided this disaster, but the Primordial Emperor escaped, later transcending to become the Star Abyss Deputy Monarch, killing the Immortal Realm Child of Chaos, besides the Three Great Holy Lands and the Mountain and Sea Realm, other second-level civilizations suffered heavy losses, countless destroyed.

With so many second-level civilizations’ Void Secrets destroyed, a substantial source returned to the Void Sea, prematurely triggering the Great Annihilation initiated by the Star Abyss Monarch.

This chain of reactions was not something Lin Qing anticipated.

"Must think of a solution to thoroughly eliminate this threat of the Primordial Emperor..."

Lin Qing contemplated.

The Primordial Emperor of Starfall Civilization is indeed considered a peerless talent, with such power that only the Immortal Realm peerless genius can confidently suppress them, while other Children of Chaos, even the strongest, are comparable to the Primordial Emperor.

In the future simulation, the Primordial Emperor even transcended to become the Star Abyss Deputy Monarch, and without the Void Divine Race’s descent, stopping the Primordial Emperor would have been impossible.

"Yet, the Light King can observe even the future of Transcenders, including the Star Abyss Sovereign, a truly terrifying ability..."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly, then continued pondering his subsequent plan: "First, must win the civilization war to prevent the Primordial Emperor from ambushing in that 2.9-level civilization relic."

He recalled clearly, the 2.9-level civilization relic had already been completely remodeled by the Star Abyss Monarch, a half-Star Abyss plane, enough for the Star Abyss Monarch to directly descend a sliver of power, which was why the Tianyuan Constellation Ancestor couldn’t kill the Primordial Emperor.

Therefore, to kill the Primordial Emperor, one must not go to that 2.9-level civilization relic.
