CHAPTER 769: CHAPTER 347: KING REALM ABLAZE WITH WAR (PART 2)

"Tianchuan Bai’s status on Jueying Star seems ordinary, and his territory isn’t that large?"

After spending several days in the library of this shop within the Second Cosmic Network, Lin Qing gained a basic understanding of the King Realm.

Simply put—

The King Realm, as a newly established Third Level Civilization, is frequently attacked by the Star Abyss and thus requires strong defenders.

The best way to train them is through the crucible of war!

The whole populace becomes soldiers, conveniently addressing the hidden danger of an increasing number of Immortals in the Third Level Civilization by eliminating the weak or useless through war.

"It’s truly brutal..."

Lin Qing gradually realized that the Third Level Civilization was not the high transcendent civilization he imagined, but one also fraught with various dangers and a hierarchy of survival of the fittest.

However, fundamentally it was because the King Realm faced the Star Abyss Crisis, resulting in such a ruthless war universe.

Otherwise, the three Masters of Civilization could easily modify the Cosmic Rules to restrict reproduction or limit population through other means.

"Let’s go find Tianchuan Bai first."

Lin Qing didn’t linger long, sent Tianchuan Bai a message, and then left this small city, heading straight to Tianchuan Bai’s territory.

...

The Jueying Continent spans over a billion kilometers but constitutes only less than 10% of the area of the entire Jueying Star.

Tianchuan Bai resides in the central capital city of Tianchuan District.

Lin Qing casually observed the cities along the way, noticing that Low Level Chaos Creatures were still rare. Smaller cities might have only a few Low Level Chaos Creatures; most were just Void Level lives.

It wasn’t until arriving at Tianchuan District’s capital that the density of Low Level Chaos Creatures increased significantly, yet they remained a minority, not to the extent that randomly throwing a brick on the street could hit one.

The sight of a whole group of Transcenders within the Myriad Phenomena World Group initially shocked Lin Qing.

He thought Transcendent Level Civilizations were full of Low Level Chaos Creatures.

Now things are back to normal.

Upon reaching Tianchuan District’s capital, even before Lin Qing registered and paid the entry fee, Tianchuan Bai’s subordinates were already waiting for him at the city gate.

After that, they led him flying all the way to Tianchuan Bai’s palace.

Though the interior of the capital prohibits flying, evidently Low Level Chaos Creatures are not restricted.

"May I know how to address you?"

Tianchuan Bai appeared to be an Initial Human, middle-aged, quite refined and gentle-looking, dressed in a retro-style blue robe, sitting in a simple and ancient hall, exuding a stable and aged ambiance.

"Qin Lin." Lin Qing continued to use the alias he adopted after entering the King Realm.

Tianchuan Bai nodded slightly, smiling faintly, "I hear from my subordinates that over three million years ago, Mr. Qin Lin was still Void Level, and you transcended so quickly. You must have been on the verge of breakthrough at that time?"

"More or less." Lin Qing had no interest in explaining much.

"I’m skilled at sensing danger and aura," Tianchuan Bai looked at Lin Qing, speaking softly, "Mr. Qin Lin gives me a very dangerous feeling, seemingly different from other Low Level Chaos Creatures."

"It’s just the opportunity granted by my mentor." Lin Qing shook his head.

"Oh?" Tianchuan Bai couldn’t help but ask, "May I know who your mentor is? Is he from Star Refining State?"

"Not from Star Refining State." Lin Qing slightly shook his head, unwilling to elaborate.

Tianchuan Bai asked no further, knowing that—this Mr. Qin Lin, who could instantly annihilate the Witch with a treasure, must have a mentor far stronger than himself, perhaps among the top in High Level Chaos Creatures!

As for eternal existence?

He doubted it was possible, disciples of eternal existence would have a better cultivation environment, how could they be cultivating in the wilderness-like places of Jueying Star?

However, a disciple of such a strong person deserved some respect.

"Is Mr. Qin Lin planning to complete the transaction we agreed to back then?" Tianchuan Bai inquired.

"Yes."

Lin Qing turned his hand, producing the ’God-seeking Mirror’ left by the Witch, saying, "But for this transaction, I prefer to exchange it for other things with Tianchuan Bai."

"Of course, feel free to say." Tianchuan Bai responded.

"I am quite interested in exotic treasures that contain abilities related to Future Rules."

Lin Qing said, "I wonder if Tianchuan Bai has such exotic treasures? If so, exchange them for the God-seeking Mirror, with additional or lesser compensation in Cosmic Sand as needed."

"Exotic treasures with abilities related to Future Rules?" Tianchuan Bai frowned slightly, "Such treasures are indeed very rare."

"Or if Tianchuan Bai knows of any clues, that’s also acceptable." Lin Qing stated.

"I indeed don’t have such exotic treasures here." Tianchuan Bai shook his head, adding, "However, I know someone who has this kind of treasure."

"Oh?" Lin Qing’s eyes lit up.

"Qishui Bai." Tianchuan Bai’s mouth curved into a slight smile, saying, "To my knowledge, Qishui Bai possesses a ’Destiny Dice’, he always decides his actions based on the points of the Destiny Dice, that Destiny Dice is an exotic treasure with certain Future Rules abilities."

He shook his head slightly, "However, Qishui Bai treasures that Destiny Dice immensely, unless the price is astronomical, he wouldn’t be willing to part with it."

"Destiny Dice?" Lin Qing asked thoughtfully, "Roughly how much Cosmic Sand would be needed?"

Tianchuan Bai pondered for a moment, then said, "Though Qishui Bai’s strength isn’t considered top-notch, he’s amassed a fortune over the years with the help of Destiny Dice, at least more than several hundred thousand Cosmic Sand..."

He shook his head, "I estimate even a hundred thousand Cosmic Sand might not entice him."

"Even a hundred thousand Cosmic Sand won’t do?" Lin Qing furrowed his brow.

He had only a few thousand Cosmic Sand from the Witch, even if he obtained ten thousand Cosmic Sand for the God-seeking Mirror from Tianchuan Bai, it would still be far from sufficient.

"Nothing can be done." Tianchuan Bai shook his head, "While such exotic treasures can only be used internally in the universe, the Destiny Dice really is quite useful, owing to it, Qishui Bai has accumulated considerable wealth, richer than most High Level Chaos Creatures."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

It’s known that even the most ordinary Cosmic Treasure has a minimum value of several thousand Cosmic Sand; most High Level Chaos Creatures likely possess only a wealth of tens of thousands of Cosmic Sand.

Not top-notch in strength, yet possessing tens of thousands of Cosmic Sand in wealth, is indeed impressive.

"Even a hundred thousand Cosmic Sand is not enough..."

Lin Qing frowned, pondering, "I don’t have anything on me that can fetch so much Cosmic Sand, even if I sell the Cosmic Treasure Gloves left by the Witch, it would probably be only a few thousand Cosmic Sand..."

Having already absorbed the Chaos Source Crystal, he can’t sell his Lifebound Cosmic Treasure either, not having anything else of value.

"Perhaps..."

Lin Qing frowned, "I should borrow some Cosmic Sand from Mr. Hong Nuo of the Myriad Phenomena World Group?"

One need only imagine that as long as that eternal existence agrees, buying this exotic treasure wouldn’t be a problem, even ten of them would be trivial to eternal existence.

But he already owed them a lot, unless forced, he didn’t want to owe more.

The party was clearly investing in him, having already put in so much is quite generous, seeking further would be excessive.

"I wonder if Tianchuan Bai knows of any other methods?" Lin Qing asked, "Or any quick ways to make money would also do."

"It seems Mr. Qin Lin truly desires that Destiny Dice?" Tianchuan Bai gave him a look, contemplated for a moment, then said, "Regarding methods... actually there are options."

He assessed Lin Qing and said, "I wonder about Mr. Qin Lin and your mentor’s strength?"

"Strength?" Lin Qing queried Tianchuan Bai.

"Yes." Tianchuan Bai immediately clarified, "In Jueying Star, all lords have war agreements to determine territory ranking, if Mr. Qin Lin and your mentor possess enough strength, there might be room for negotiation."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, saying, "Among the Low Level Chaos Creatures on Jueying Star, probably nobody could best me."

"What?" Tianchuan Bai was taken aback.
