CHAPTER 623: CHAPTER 280: PREPARING FOR THE WAR OF CIVILIZATIONS (PART 2)

The Great World is capable of accommodating a vast number of lives, enough to continually nurture countless talents; as long as there’s a complete system for cultivation, numerous Void Creatures, even Void Dominators, can emerge.

Normally, even in relatively weak 2.3-level civilizations, with long accrual, it can sustain hundreds of Void Dominators.

"After over twenty thousand years comes the first civilization war."

Lin Qing unleashed his thoughts, carefully sensing the current situation within the Mountain and Sea Realm, squinting his eyes, "Of the three battlegrounds in the civilization war, the Dominator-level battleground is surely not feasible, but as long as we win at the Void-level battleground and the Secret Realm Master’s battleground, we can still win the civilization war."

According to the intelligence he understands—

Every three hundred and eighty years, multiple civilizations’ Void Secret Realms within the Void Sea will have their coordinates converge, resulting in the fusion of certain Secret Realms, and this fused Secret Realm space is the ’Civilization Battlefield.’

This fused Secret Realm space is both a battleground and a prize.

As long as we can win the civilization war, the victorious side’s Secret Realm Master will have the right to annex this area of Secret Realm space, thoroughly merging this space into their homeland world, expanding their homeland world to an even greater extent!

It should be known that during the formation of a civilization battlefield, approximately one tenth of space from the participating sides’ Secret Realm Worlds will typically merge within.

If a civilization war involves three worlds of similar size, the winner can instantly expand their Secret Realm World by two tenths!

Once every three hundred and eighty years, the eight thousand plus Second-level Civilizations within the Void Sea take turns participating, which amounts to roughly a million years of experience.

That means, approximately every million years, each civilization within the Void Sea will almost certainly go through a civilization war.

If the losses are consecutive, the homeland world will become smaller with each one tenth cut away.

"If we become the defeated side, we either lose a part of our homeland or agree to the victorious side’s demands; only then might the victorious Secret Realm Master abandon slicing this civilization battlefield and allow this part of space to return to the homeland."

Lin Qing couldn’t help but recall his experience in the White Tower World.

At that time, the White Tower World had just suffered a defeat in the civilization war, but the White Tower Saint Master was unwilling to cede his homeland, thus agreeing to other conditions, like dividing residency rights and cultivation resources.

"According to the rules, the ’matching mechanism’ of civilization wars is decided based on the total number of times participated and the win rate."

Lin Qing pondered silently, "For our Mountain and Sea Realm’s first civilization war, I guess we’ll be ’matched’ against civilizations that have participated very few times or have a low win rate..."

However, before the Mountain and Sea Realm, the last Second-level Civilization to emerge in this Void Sea was one hundred and forty million years ago.

In just one hundred and forty million years, although that civilization spawned several Void Dominators, its Secret Realm Master was still not a Void Dominator, thus it remains a small world.

Considered the weakest Second-level Civilization outside the Mountain and Sea Realm.

"Our Mountain and Sea Realm hasn’t produced any Void Dominators yet, thus the Dominator-level battleground can only be abandoned."

Lin Qing squared his internal thoughts, "I’m certain to win the Secret Realm Master’s battleground part; it mainly depends on the Void-level battleground..."

Civilization wars follow the model of soldiers against soldiers, kings against kings.

Mainly because the civilization battlefield is divided into three parts, that is to say, three layers of space. If it’s a war between two civilizations, two wins out of three are required for victory.

If it’s a three-civilization war, it’s possible for each side to win one, resulting in a tie among the three.

Like when the White Tower World had a four-civilization war, the other three sides each won one battle, only the White Tower World didn’t win any, becoming the sole defeated, thus suffering exploitation by the three sides.

"There are still twenty-six thousand years, it should be enough, and it’s not necessarily true that once the protection period is over, the civilization war will come for sure; if luck is good, it might take tens of millions of years more before the war arrives..."

Lin Qing sensed the current situation of the Mountain and Sea Realm and couldn’t help but shake his head slightly.

There are merely over a hundred Void Creatures, and no Void Dominators at all, as the Mountain and Sea Realm has been around for too short a time, only over ten thousand years.

The existence of over a hundred Void Creatures is due to the Origin Realm inheritance and the vast resource supply he provided, replacing a normal newly ascended Second-level Civilization. Just over ten thousand years might not even yield a second Void Creature birth.

"Best if there’s one that can sweep the entire battleground..."

Lin Qing stood at a high point in the Mountain and Sea Realm, looking at Yuanxue Qiuyue and Moro.

As inheritors of the Vacuum Tomb, Lin Qing spared no expense of the World Origin to wipe the original world imprint deep in their souls, integrating the imprint of the Mountain and Sea Realm’s World Origin, making them part of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

To them, the Mountain and Sea Realm is now their homeland too, naturally allowing them to participate in the civilization war.

Fortunately, when these two joined the Mountain and Sea Realm, they were merely Star Creatures, so changing their origin didn’t consume much World Origin; if they were Void Dominators, even the Great World’s origin would be nearly exhausted to change the origin.

Moreover, once the World Origin is exhausted, it nearly takes thirty-eight million years to recover.

"Moro is skilled at nurturing Cosmic Alien Species, which can be a major aid in warfare..."

Lin Qing contemplated silently, "Yuanxue Qiuyue acquired the secret technique inheritance from Fei Yuan City Lord; if cultivated to a sufficiently profound level, perhaps..."

He triggered a thought, immediately teleporting the two over.

"Greetings, Councilman."

Yuanxue Qiuyue and Moro were momentarily startled, then immediately paid respectful homage.

After all, Lin Qing was not only the sole Councilman of the highest council in the Mountain and Sea Realm but also the Tomb Guardian of the Vacuum Tomb.

"How is your cultivation going?" Lin Qing asked, "One is the inheritor from Fei Yuan City Lord, the other from Wu Jiu City Lord; twenty thousand years hence, the civilization war will need your effort."

Yuanxue Qiuyue said, "With the treasures and resources provided by the Councilman, the progress in Fei Yuan Secret Technique is fast, though the requirement for comprehension in Fei Yuan Secret Technique is quite high too; currently, I estimate reaching the Peak of Star Abyss Fourteenth Layer, in twenty thousand years it should reach Star Abyss Sixteenth Layer?"

"Pretty good." Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Wu Jiu Secret Technique has low requirements for comprehension, primarily relies on treasures and resources.

But Fei Yuan Secret Technique is a Supreme Secret Technique, its upper limit is above Wu Jiu Secret Technique, requires not only treasures and resources but also quite high comprehension; for Yuanxue Qiuyue to enhance to this level quickly is already commendable.

It’s noted that Void Creatures reaching the Peak of Star Abyss Fourteenth Layer are considered top-notch combat power.

"Councilman, I’ve already started cultivating some Cosmic Alien Species."

Moro said, "Currently, the Alien Species I nurture mostly have combat power at Star Abyss Thirteenth Layer; they can be cultivated en masse, but if focusing on a few, it might reach Star Abyss Fourteenth Layer, and further advancement in twenty thousand years isn’t difficult."

Lin Qing nodded, saying, "Also good, ask for anything needed; ensure we win the first civilization war for our Mountain and Sea Realm."

After the two left, Lin Qing felt a bit more relieved.

Among those relatively weak Second-level Civilizations, even if they send a group of Void Creature peak experts, most might merely be at the Peak of Star Abyss Fourteenth Layer or Fifteenth Layer.

If Yuanxue Qiuyue could cultivate to Star Abyss Sixteenth Layer, coupled with Moro’s nurtured horde of Cosmic Alien Species, there’d be great assurance to take the Void-level battleground.

If given more time, these two could grow stronger, thus more assured.

"Oh, and also Master Qi."

Lin Qing’s eyes flicked, momentarily teleporting Qi Lingxiao over.

As the second to breakthrough to become a Void Creature in the Mountain and Sea Realm, Qi Lingxiao has been a Void Creature for over ten thousand years.

Back then, Qi Lingxiao, just a century into transforming into a Void Creature, self-created the Three Phase Divine Skill, rivaling the Star Gods of the Three Great Holy Lands, mainly relying on luck.

According to Chu Hongjun’s tests, each time Qi Lingxiao’s Life Level transforms, his luck also improves, very baffling.

The ten thousand years passed, and now?

"Master Qi."

Lin Qing smiled, "Over ten thousand years without seeing you venture beyond the Mountain and Sea Realm, how’s your cultivation now?"
