Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

"Uncertain, but most likely the second generation," Chu Hongjun said. "Based on currently known intelligence, the ancestor of the Nine Star Civilization is likely studying in some second-level civilization."

Lin Qing was silent for a moment, then said, "Is the Fire Seed Plan unable to continue?"

Chu Hongjun slowly replied, "That Void Creature is guarding the Solar System and has acted so coldly and ruthlessly, clearly prepared to sever any hope for the Earth people."

Lin Qing couldn't help but frown.

The Fire Seed Plan, or the human inheritance plan of Earth Civilization.

Not putting all eggs in one basket is basic common sense.

Thus, after expelling the Extraterrestrial Civilization, to avoid the potential complete annihilation of Earth people in the future, Earth Civilization formulated the Fire Seed Plan, sending out in advance a portion of humanity's elite talent.

Almost all civilizations end in destruction, which is the fate of civilization, much like life and death that are inevitable.

As the seeds for the continuation of civilization, they become very important.

"Is the first batch of Fire Seeds enough to continue the civilization?" Lin Qing asked.

"Some difficulties," Chu Hongjun shook his head. "A group of genetically inferior Initial Humans, nowhere near Genetic Awakening, it's very hard for them to integrate into other civilizations and develop anew."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "This Void Creature intends to trap us to death..."

"Not necessarily to trap us to death," Chu Hongjun said. "For a Void Creature capable of destroying planets, they might not care about our weak civilization, but merely make a slight move to intimidate us."

Lin Qing squinted slightly.

Just intimidation, erasing tens of thousands of people selected as Earth's Fire Seed with a slight move?

"Additionally, a large fleet of the Nine Star Civilization seems to have started arriving on Mars."

Chu Hongjun said, "It is not hard to imagine... On the day Earth opens up, it will inevitably face the strongest force of the Nine Star Civilization."

Lin Qing slowly nodded.

All this is an inevitable result.

The Seventh Prince of the Nine Star Civilization discovered Earth's peculiarities decades ago, just waiting for Earth to open up to launch a massive attack.

Even if Earth Civilization withstands this onslaught, the Nine Star Civilization will swiftly arrive.

"Are you ready?" Chu Hongjun looked at Lin Qing.

"Almost,"

Lin Qing nodded and said, "I can complete it before Earth opens."

Chu Hongjun pondered for a moment and said, "Even if the Void Creature comes, it doesn't matter. Although its strength is formidable, it can only enter the Bronze Demon Mountain and Silver Maze."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Among the six pre-civilization relics on Earth, only the Bronze Demon Mountain and Silver Maze do not require native inhabitants; the other four require at least locals to enter.

As strong as the Void Creature is, it can't forcibly enter the relics.

"What a pity..."

Chu Hongjun slightly shook his head, "If we could borrow the power of the Star Patrol Council, it would be good. The influence of the Star Patrol Council solely on the planet is ultimately limited. Unless the strength is sufficient, the Star Patrol Council's intelligence may actively help apply to become a formal member of the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance, thus borrowing the power of the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance."

Lin Qing was slightly startled, then asked, "Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance?"

During the Divine Son Trial, that Life System Star God supervising mentioned the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance.

"Yes, it's the background of the Star Patrol Council,"

Chu Hongjun said softly, "It is rumored that the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance has established Star Patrol Councils on every Life Planet in the universe, but truly emphasizes the Void Star Sea of the High-dimensional Layer, so the requirements to join the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance are also very high."

"Oh?" Lin Qing asked, "What are the requirements?"

Chu Hongjun said, "Star-level Divine Officer with the strength of the Star Abyss Tenth Layer."

Lin Qing was taken aback, then slightly shook his head and said, "This is even higher than the Tomb Guardian's requirements. If I reach these requirements, I can become a Tomb Guardian."

"The difficulty is indeed very high," Chu Hongjun nodded lightly.

"Anyway... I must become a Tomb Guardian first,"

Lin Qing took a deep breath, then asked, "Will the Blood Cauldron King of the Nine Star Civilization come?"

"As long as the Blood Cauldron King knows this news, he will definitely come," Chu Hongjun said. "The current Emperor of the Nine Star Civilization probably also desires a new Void Creature in the civilization to remove him from the throne, so he should pass the news to the Blood Cauldron King."

"Let's hope so," Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "I'll continue cultivating. I'll be back when Earth opens."

...

Time passed day by day.

In the six years spent in the Cultivation Room, after finishing the Holy Text cultivation, Lin Qing also began to train Divine Skills.

Although there wasn't enough time to cultivate the Eighth Energy Level World God, or even one of the four great Divine Skills of the World God, learning more now enables quicker repayment in the future.

Earth, May 19, 2126.

Within the Cultivation Room of the Vacuum Tomb.

Amidst the boundless expanse of pure white land, as the endless Energy dispersed and flowed back, Lin Qing, surrounded by flickering Black Flames and a deep, profound gaze, silently landed and slowly exhaled.

"Unification Technique, World God combined with Primordial Destruction, this is my current strongest state..."

Lin Qing focused his thoughts, and an illusory figure of light separated from his body, instantly turning into a weakened Black Flame Clone.

The Black Flame Clone immediately ceased its Black Flame Burning, and its aura quickly returned to normal, though its life force was greatly depleted.

"Genetic Index, 1020 times the Cosmic Standard."

Lin Qing looked at the Black Flame Clone, his eyes thoughtful, "However, because of the Black Flame Clan's bloodline, the Black Flame Clone can achieve ten times the Power by burning life, and then performing the Unification Technique, almost elevates my Power to eight or nine times its original strength."

The Unification Technique adds the basic attributes of two entities together, and after multiple unifications with the Black Flame Clone, the Genetic Index became quite close to mine.

As long as the Black Flame Clone burns its life and then unifies with him, it's equivalent to increasing his basic attributes by eight or nine times!

Of course, with such astounding Power, the life-burning speed is also faster. It can only last for about ten seconds before the Black Flame Clone's Life Force is exhausted, causing the Unification Technique to dissolve.

However, for battles at this level, ten seconds is a long time.

Thus...

In these six years, although Lin Qing made no progress in Divine Skills, the enhancement of the Black Flame Clone's Life Level and Genetic Index led to significant improvements in his power.

"What a pity... I still can't pass the Star Abyss Tenth Layer," Lin Qing sighed.

He had already passed the Star Abyss Ninth Layer, and in his Unification State, he could easily sweep the Star Abyss Ninth Layer, but couldn't get through the Star Abyss Tenth Layer.

There was no way; he was still a bit short of the Star Abyss Tenth Layer's baseline, let alone lasting only ten seconds, so he couldn't pass the Star Abyss Tenth Layer.

To pass the Star Abyss Tenth Layer, one must master the Eighth Energy Level World God.

"Well... Maintaining the Ninth Layer Peak level of the Star Abyss for ten seconds is still pretty good."

Lin Qing slowly clenched his fist, glanced at the Black Flame Clone, commanded it to self-immolate into nothingness, then recreated it with the Gate of Eternity.

Then, his third eye at his brow flashed, absorbing the rejuvenated Black Flame Clone into the Different Space.

"Though I can't stop the Void Creature now, once I master the Eighth Energy Level World God and pass the Star Divine Trial..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, then left the Cultivation Room.

On the vast platform outside the Cultivation Room.

"Are you leaving?"

Lord Su sized up Lin Qing.

"Yes," Lin Qing nodded and said, "Tomorrow, Earth will open."

Lord Su lightly nodded and said, "If things don't go well, flee back here. When you grow strong enough, you can fight again."

"If push comes to shove, I will do that,"

Lin Qing nodded, then waved his hand and said, "I'm leaving. Next time I come, it'll be when I become a Tomb Guardian."

"I'm looking forward to that day," said Lord Su.

...

On May 20, 2126.

As the gravitational Rule Power abruptly vanished, the massive fleet looming outside the blue planet in the Solar System swarmed into Earth's atmosphere.
