Chapter 871: Chapter 813: Above the Saints, Half-Step Level 0 Material God

"Well, aren’t you traveling into the future? Or are you just going to be a guest here with me?"

’Nokron’ laughed.

"I dare not travel any further," Atabia replied directly.

"Indeed."

This ’Nokron’ said, "With another universe already appearing, if you keep traveling and observing these other universes, another ambushing matter may collapse into reality and cause trouble."

"Yes, let’s observe the situation first," Atabia said.

The two continued their awkward conversation.

Watching from the shadows, even Li Qing felt quite speechless.

Playing the awkward game, huh?

It’s not that they can’t chat; they are probing each other, and somehow it turned into this.

In the days that followed, Atabia shuttled back and forth, constantly moving between two universes, regularly observing, and having chats with this "Nokron."

He didn’t dare to go in, just squatting at the entrance of the Long River of Time, speaking.

As a front-line general, he arranged for those Outer Domain Celestial Demons to descend here on the enemy’s side, quietly inserting themselves in, stealing things and technology, cultivating, and then returning in batches.

During this time, no matter how many times Atabia tested, he couldn’t catch the opponent’s flaws.

"I can’t tell who it is," he hesitated slightly.

In his mind, the severity of suspicion was roughly ranked as follows.

Nokron, Emperor, Light Ancient God, Elis, some unknown rising protagonist...

After all, the possibility of an unfamiliar protagonist is very low, but not impossible.

...

Celestial Realm.

Li Qing sat on the throne, beginning to receive information and technology from the future.

Those Outer Domain Celestial Demons brought not only intelligence.

They also brought all sorts of knowledge and insights painstakingly researched by ’Li Qing’ five thousand years into the future!

All along, Li Qing had switched off his ’Space’ and ’Time’ Authority, leaving only ’Material’ and ’Life’ Authority active.

And precisely because he sealed the Time Authority, Li Qing was not the sole existence across all timelines, so Atabia sees another Nokron when he travels into the future.

After all, if he didn’t shut it down...

The entire timeline would have only one self, and Atabia traveling into the future would not find any Nokron... his cover would be blown!

Moreover, there’s a significant advantage!

Since the Time Authority isn’t being used, he can exploit a loophole to communicate with his future self five thousand years ahead!

Asking the future self for various insights!

What?

You say Atabia is a Time God, and this technique of asking the future self for research results, he should also be able to do it?

Sorry!

He simply can’t.

As a god protecting the time order of the universe, he can’t betray himself!

Once he unifies the timeline, past, present, and future consist only of him; if he goes into the future, there will be no other self to help him research Time Authority.

Otherwise, if he kept travelling to ask the future self for technology and exploited the loophole wildly, he would have already been invincible among the Four Great Saints, right!

This is the decreed Cosmic Path, a balance of heaven and earth!

So even as a Time God, he, like the other Saints, must honestly research technology without asking his future self.

"But now, precisely because I shut off the Time Authority, there’s another future me, so I can steal my future self’s technology."

"By this means, I can continuously gain from my future self."

"This wave is also part of my plot."

Li Qing smiled subtly; opening the Time Authority had too many side effects, making it impossible to gain technology.

Of course, asking the future self for technology initially comes with stringent conditions.

First of all, you can’t be a Time God yourself, or there won’t be a future you.

Secondly, you must ambush a Time God, deliver a stealthy blow like a bandit to rob his wealth, materialize the future self, transform it into a True Person, to engage in communication.

"Alas, the more he thinks, the worse it gets. Everyone wants to ambush him, break through his guarded time order with a loophole, rob his wealth, and materialize their future self’s universe."

Really pathetic.

Is this what it means to be a Time God?

Loved it, loved it.

When he stood atop all, whether actively or passively, he couldn’t escape his mission of maintaining the order of the Long River of Time, preventing those time crossers and hunters!

And not only Li Qing can now continuously gain from his future self, but currently Elis also benefits from Li Qing’s good fortune, now able to ask herself from ninety million years later for technology.

Now Elis, through those Outer Domain Celestial Demons shuttling back and forth, is rapidly assimilating future selves’ various techniques, Divine Techniques, and ultimate skills.

In fact, Elis has already subtly grown strong!

"Each successful ambush generates a five-thousand-years-later parallel universe, transforms into a True Person, and only then can you ask the future self for technology once."

"If you intend to do it a hundred times, a hundred parallel universes will have to be generated."

The cost is somewhat significant!

Regarding why Elis and others previously didn’t use Atabia as an intermediary to have their future selves from five thousand years later transfer technology...

How could they dare!

Handing their vital Authority schematics and technology to Atabia to bring to themselves would be suicide.

But now, this technique is excellent.

Rather than letting Atabia transmit technology, let the future self ambush him, stealthily attack, and then have the future self transmit technology... this operation is simply brilliant!!

After all, you gain so much, and only Atabia gets ambushed.

Moreover, this harvest for Li Qing is indeed remarkable!

The first universe five thousand years later, at that time, Li Qing even developed a new pathway of Authority.

At this moment.

Four Authorities run independently within Li Qing, each forming its own system region.

Incomplete material, space, time, life...

Among them, the incomplete [Material] astonishingly began merging with [Life]!

The two great Authorities seemed like yin and yang fishes intertwining, entangling with each other.

In an instant, Li Qing comprehended, showing a hint of sagacity:

"The Four Authorities cannot merge all at once into a level 0 Origin Creator God."

"There must be a transition, a two-by-two fusion."

"Just like the Taoist philosophy, the Four Symbols must first become the Liangyi to return to Chaotic Tai Chi."

Life + Material, merging into a new Authority, consisting of the perfect structure of material and life, symbolizing all existence in the present world.

As for the other two, time, space, they almost lack physical material form, residing above the cosmos.

This brand-new level 0.5 advanced Authority blueprint, Li Qing named it: Spiritual Essence.

Subsequently, the concept of space + time, if a fusion method is found, the name would be relatively simple: Space-Time Blueprint.

"The next path has become clearly visible!"

Li Qing smiled lightly: "Returning, returning, returning...everything cannot escape the word ’two’, when all the universe’s forces are forged into one, toward omniscience and omnipotence, that’s the birth of the Ultimate Creator God! The universe in Its hands is but a toy ball."

Swoosh.

Within him, the Life and Material suddenly began to converge, the fusion of life and material, a force resembling Tai Chi surged within him.

The forces within him intertwined madly, he felt every pore and cell comprising his material self brimming with the Life Origin Essence, as if a single breath could animate the cosmic stones, carbon, and water, cultivating them into spirits endowed with innate intelligence.

This incarnation of the Cosmic Path, filled to the brim, boundlessly potent, Li Qing felt a magnificent miracle for the first time.

"Worthy indeed of my future self, the cards played have matured to such heights."

Li Qing’s eyes abruptly widened, radiating light, "I’ve directly jumped a major version, surpassing the Four Great Saints, standing at the next realm above the Saints... I feel that now, an extreme ’Fist’ of force can kill everyone."
