Chapter 521: 233, Inheritor

Holy Star City, as the true core of the White Tower Civilization, is also where various forces of this civilization converge.

“The Holy Master’s lineage, the Four Royal Clans, seventy-two marquises…”

“And the foreign forces that arrived after the defeat and partitioning of territories, including the Tianze Group and Chuyan Group of the Sky Early Civilization, and the three major royal families of the Four Imperial City Civilizations…”

The information Lin Qing obtained included an approximate strength assessment of each force, including their leaders.

Of course, these are just guesses and estimates, and the actual situation may differ.

“The Holy Master of the White Tower Civilization is a Void Level Divine Officer, so are the Four Kings? The seventy-two marquises are at least Void Dominators, each wielding an Inheritance Divine Artifact…”

“The foreign forces also have a number of super strong individuals stationed…”

Looking at the descriptions of these powerful figures, Lin Qing couldn’t help but be secretly amazed.

This is the Void Sea.

Even within just one 2.7-level civilization, so many powerful individuals are gathered; how powerful must the thousands of second-level civilizations within this Void Sea be?

Inconceivable.

Faced with these colossal forces, Lin Qing was thoroughly awake.

He was strong among Void Creatures, but any slightly stronger Void Creature could probably defeat him easily.

According to the information, when these powerful forces recruit core members, they at least require top-tier strength among Void Creatures, with the Peak of Star Abyss Fourteen Layers as a prerequisite.

Even though his Genetic Index was high enough, and he had Unification Technique, Black Flame Clone, and two perfect Combined Divine Skills, he had just entered the level of Star Abyss Twelfth Layer, a far cry from the Peak of Star Abyss Fourteen Layers.

Void Creatures might count as high-level in other parts of the White Tower Civilization, but in a place like Holy Star City, they are barely considered elite.

“There is still a big gap…”

Lin Qing took a deep breath, “For now, I can only rely on the advantage brought by the Primordial Realm, and this disguised identity as a genius from the Holy Land…”

However, this also gave him more motivation to continue climbing upward.

“Holy Star City is close to the Origin of the Secret Realm, and contains three major Void Wonders, which greatly help in understanding the Void Essence.”

Lin Qing pondered, “Among them, the ‘Endless Pool’ wonder, similar to a simplified ‘Eye of the Darkest Universe,’ absorbs endless energy and matter, collapsing into an Endless Pool, seems to be the Void Essence I need to comprehend…”

Every time a Void Secret Realm is born, it is accompanied by various Wonders.

Since the Bronze Demon Mountain considered the White Tower Civilization the most suitable among second-level civilizations, it was clear that the White Tower Civilization offered the greatest chance, possibly enabling his transformation of the Void.

The simulated Eye of the Darkest Universe in the Cosmic Wonders Museum of the Vacuum Tomb is too complex to comprehend.

And the ‘Endless Pool,’ being a simplified version, should theoretically be much easier to comprehend.

“However, the Endless Pool yields natural treasures and is one of the most important wealths of the White Tower Civilization. Entering it requires a significant cost…”

Lin Qing frowned slightly.

Actually, he didn’t need those so-called natural treasures; he just wanted to comprehend the Void Essence contained in the Endless Pool.

But that’s just the way the rules are.

“Besides the core members of various forces, there are only a few pathways to enter…”

Lin Qing thought silently, “For me, the most convenient way is through the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance. As long as I become a member of the alliance, earn enough merit, or pay ten billion Void Coins, I can enter.”

Ten billion Void Coins.

This number is indeed astonishing; a single Void Boat might only cost two or three million Void Coins, which many Void Creatures cannot afford.

Thus, it’s usually the strong among Void Creatures who can come up with ten billion Void Coins.

For example, those capable of hunting Abyssal Demons regularly accumulate wealth and can gather ten billion over time.

But for ordinary Void Creatures, ten billion Void Coins is an astronomical figure.

“Fortunately…”

Lin Qing had already thought of a way to earn money, so he wasn’t too worried, “Although ten billion Void Coins is indeed a lot, in Holy Star City… as long as one is capable, there will be no lack of money.”

…

Before long, a reception staff from the high-level VIP area informed Lin Qing that new entrance quotas for the city were available.

“Mr. Jing Guang, the relevant regulations for Holy Star City have been sent to you via the Second Cosmic Network. Please abide by them.”

After registration, Lin Qing, accompanied by a Blood Cauldron King Avatar acting as a servant, entered Holy Star City located in another spatial layer through a spatial passage.

In a brief spatial transformation, he found himself in another layer of space.

A city resembling a vast world appeared before his eyes; he was descending rapidly along a beam of light toward a street below. Although this second-level civilization’s city was a mere fleeting appearance, its vast and intricate cityscape was enough to astonish anyone.

From an external view, Holy Star City spans only a few hundred kilometers, but its interior space is immensely vast, thousands of times larger.

The teleportation beam enveloped Lin Qing and landed on a broad street, the ground made entirely of a glass-like material, seemingly breathing as it alternated between light and shadow, with countless energy transportation veins faintly visible underneath.

Flanking the street were variously shaped buildings.

Some buildings resembled massive trees, with branches intertwining and leaves connecting hidden spaces, while others appeared as giant floating cubes in mid-air, constantly changing colors, brightness, and sequences, sometimes splitting, sometimes combining.
