"Yes, I just broke through."

Lin Qing said, "Didn't expect Your Majesty to discover so quickly?"

The Light King was silent for a moment before saying, "I let you keep the Light King Order so I could keep an eye on you anytime and prevent Yu Gong from taking action against you, but I didn't expect you to break through to the Eternal so quickly? Your second trial isn't complete yet, right?"

Lin Qing nodded, "The Instantaneous Void Spirit Flower still has three hundred thousand years to be born. 'Cosmic Tribulation Body' can be completed soon."

The Light King was silent for a moment more.

The next moment, the space-time twisted, beams of light gathered and transformed into a figure.

It was the Light King.

Lin Qing saw the true appearance of the Light King for the first time. Before, he only saw the grand divine body radiating endless light; now, he saw clearly.

In a white robe, middle-aged, with an elegant scholarly aura around his brows, giving him a rather approachable demeanor.

Is this the ruler of the Heavenly Light Divine Country, one of the three giants of the King Realm?

He doesn't seem like a lofty emperor; he seems more like a scholar.

"Your Majesty?" Lin Qing said in surprise.

The Light King smiled slightly and said, "Since you have achieved the Eternal and passed the first trial, you are now my disciple."

"Yes, Master." Lin Qing immediately stood up and respectfully saluted.

"Your Eternal Divine Body... seems already perfect?" The Light King examined Lin Qing, "Just breaking through and you deduced a Perfect World?"

"Master, after I completely cultivated the mysteries of Descent into the Future, I discovered my future line wherein I had reached the Eternal Peak, so I directly chose to descend into the future."

Lin Qing said, "I accessed my memories from thirty-eight million years later, which allowed me to directly evolve into a Perfect World."

"I see..."

The Light King nodded slightly, "Quite remarkable, reaching such a level in thirty-eight million years. It seems your talent indeed exceeds my observational limits."

Lin Qing didn't speak.

He knew the Light King had long discovered his uniqueness.

After all, under the Light King's observation, achieving the Eternal within thirty-eight million years was already rare in his future line, let alone reaching the Eternal Peak, yet he always encountered these improbable situations.

This was indeed very special.

However, the Light King clearly bore no malice toward him; otherwise, Entropy would have detected it long ago.

"Originally, I intended to accept you as a registered disciple after you passed the second trial, and upon passing the third trial or reaching the Eternal Peak, you would become a direct disciple."

The Light King shook his head gently and said softly, "But unexpectedly... you directly skipped the second and third trials and are already at the Eternal Peak?"

Lin Qing realized his progress was too fast and could only say, "I didn't expect things to go so smoothly either."

"Never mind."

The Light King shook his head slightly and said, "Since you are at the Eternal Peak, if you are willing, you can be my direct disciple."

Lin Qing had anticipated this, but couldn't help showing a hint of joy. He immediately stood and respectfully clasped his hands, "Disciple Lin Qing, greets Master."

The Light King also showed a slight smile and nodded gently, "I intended to announce to the entire Human Clan for a celebration inviting all sides once I accepted a direct disciple, but... now, at the eve of our King Realm's Divine Country war, let's hold off on the celebration for now."

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded immediately, as he didn't care much for formalities anyway.

The Light King smiled and further said, "However, it would be better to announce to all sides later."

"Later?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.

"If my deductions are not wrong, very soon, Yu Gong will have someone come after you." The Light King said, "By then, the Primordial God Emperor and King Wanhai will surely drive their Divine Countries to assault my Heavenly Light Divine Country, obstructing us briefly to create an opportunity for Yu Gong's associates. If I announce now, they definitely won't have confidence dealing with you, and perhaps... would temporarily give up."

"Yu Gong can command the two Lords of the Divine Countries?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"It's not commanding but a shared goal."

The Light King said, "I have been contending with the Primordial God Emperor and King Wanhai for nearly thirty billion years. They would naturally be pleased to see an opportunity to weaken me, especially upon discovering your extraordinary talent. Whether you reach the Ultimate or become a State Duke, that's something they don't want to see and naturally target you."

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "I've heard that both the Primordial God Emperor and King Wanhai were taught by Master, yet they're fighting over the Cosmic Origin like this? Is it just for more power?"

The Light King was silent for a moment before saying, "I only have myself to blame for misjudging them, or rather... underestimating their thirst for power."

"Power?" Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

"Do you know what happens when a Transcendent Level Civilization transitions to a Demigod-level Civilization?"

The Light King said, "A Small Universe will continue to expand, accommodating more Divine Countries, but the Cosmic Will will also select a strong individual as the 'Master of the Universe'. This Master is the sole controller of the Universe, able to decide the life and death of other Lords with a mere thought."

Lin Qing immediately understood, "The Primordial God Emperor and King Wanhai are afraid?"

"Yes, they are afraid."

The Light King nodded, "They both want to become the sole Master of the Universe and do not want to entrust their life and death to someone else."

At this point, he sighed and shook his head, "It's also my fault for trusting them too much due to their respectful demeanor back then. Despite multiple tests, they all passed. Otherwise, I would rather have accumulated billions of more years to obtain a 'True Self Oath Stone' from the Void Divine Race."
