Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Dean Chu, what good methods do you have?"
Chu Hongjun said, "First, either purchase energy resources to supply the entire civilization for breakthroughs and consumption replenishment, but such consumption is terrifying. Even the foundation of a 1.9-level civilization cannot last too long."
Lin Qing asked thoughtfully, "And the second method?"
"The second method is to let Earth transform into a high-dimensional planet and begin absorbing traces of energy from the void sea. It won’t be difficult to supply billions of original lives, and then allow breakthroughs in batches, dispersing them to other planets afterward. Only then can it be sustainable."
Chu Hongjun said, "Once a sufficient number of starry sky source stones have been accumulated, we can then transform the high-dimensional planet into a void secret realm, which could easily accommodate trillions of original lives."
Qi Lingxiao said helplessly, "Void creatures... I still feel it’s not enough, I don’t know when I can make a breakthrough."
Back then, after the Nine Star Civilization and other extraterrestrial civilizations were sealed and suppressed by Lin Qing with space-time power, he went and killed a group of star-level divine officers, so he also experienced the divine position-driven transformation method.
Unfortunately, this requires a thorough understanding and recognition of a void essence. Even with divine position specialization and a guide, even with great luck, it still feels elusive and impossible to truly understand.
"Let’s wait and see."
Lin Qing said, "Once Master Qi and I quickly transform into void creatures, we can solve this problem. For now, maintain the fastest development speed; how much longer can we hold on?"
"We can hold on for another one or two thousand years without a problem," Chu Hongjun said.
The nationwide power awakening and transformation of original lives; you can imagine how terrifying such consumption is. Being able to endure for one or two thousand years is also thanks to the Nine Star Civilization sending a large batch of cosmic fleets and precious fortresses.
Chu Hongjun sold almost all of these through the Golden Commerce to acquire these resources.
"Then let’s continue with the plan."
Lin Qing said, "I’ll go out first to find some treasures and, when the time comes, sell them through the Golden Commerce for resources in exchange."
"Go out?" Chu Hongjun glanced at him, "Isn’t the second-level civilization keeping an eye on the space-time where Earth is located?"
Lin Qing smiled and said, "It was impossible before, but now I have a way to handle it."
Chu Hongjun looked at him, asked, "Have you repaid the starry sky source stones you borrowed from the Vacuum Tomb?"
"Not yet." Lin Qing shook his head slightly, "It’s okay, it won’t take long."
During that period of over a hundred years of retreat, in the cultivation room of the Vacuum Tomb, it was over a thousand years, enough to accumulate a thousand years’ worth of starry sky source stones.
Since the term of the Vacuum Tomb is ten thousand years, he didn’t rush to repay the portion of the starry sky source stones loaned by the Vacuum Tomb.
Instead, he first repaid the more than eight hundred thousand kilograms of starry sky source stones used for the initial power awakening.
This also freed up a pre-emptive spot.
Later, finding a chance to retreat for a hundred years in the cultivation room will allow him to repay the starry sky source stones he owes the Vacuum Tomb.
"Lin Qing, how is your strength now?" Chu Hongjun asked.
"Strength?" Lin Qing hesitated for a moment, said, "I’m not sure, but it should be stronger than many void creatures, right?"
Before becoming a Star God, he was already close to reaching the eleventh layer of the Star Abyss, and after achieving the Star God, logically, he advanced another level.
But the specifics still need a battle to determine.
"I haven’t tried the Star Abyss Trial yet, but there’s just the right opponent to test against."
Without saying more, Lin Qing immediately mobilized space-time power to teleport and arrived inside a crater on Mars,
From afar, only he could see the Nine Star Emperor, the Ancestor, and the man in the platinum robe—one of the Heaven Pillar level powerhouses of the Tower Wheel Civilization—being suppressed by the space-time cage.
"Just right, to promote divine position evolution, I need to kill a group of star-level divine officers or a void creature..."
Immediately, Lin Qing gracefully traversed into the space-time cage where the Nine Star Emperor was.
