My Bottle Cosmos

Chapter 900 - 842: The Rise of Monsters and Big Fish

However, the grand start of the Gorgeous Universe Competition did not lead the cosmos into unrighteous paths.

On the contrary, it was a proper course!

After all, what can the Saints within the universe do?

They can only stay within their own universe without venturing out, and when idle, they engage in these activities to attract guests, boosting the prestige of their universe!

Meanwhile, the Outer Domain Celestial Demons beneath the Saints continue their frantic battles.

The wave of the Gorgeous Universe initiated by the Saints has nothing to do with them.

As the era progressed, Li Qing traveled through the cosmos repeatedly, witnessing increasingly fierce battles, even seeing two "selfs" or three "selfs" in some universes fighting desperately to the death.

After all, this is quite normal!

A certain being traverses the All Heavens, devouring a dozen of himself.

Another self also roams through the All Heavens, consuming dozens of his own, inevitably meeting each other in some universe.

One could say that every supreme existence walking the path of multidimensional invincibility has a life experience that could be written into a magnificent mystical novel.

"This universe, with its Unity Realm of multidimensional merging, is akin to raising venomous insects!"

Li Qing chuckled softly and continued his travels.

Those people fight their battles, which have nothing to do with him. He should eat when he needs to eat and drink when he needs to drink.

Could he prevent the overarching trend of the era?

He cannot stop these youngsters.

Lying flat is the best choice.

Thus, he continues pretending as if nothing concerns him, offering critiques everywhere, serving as a judge, occasionally mentioning "Oh, not bad at all," making the contestants on stage extremely delighted.

During his travels, he also pretends to study the Life Path.

He even spoke with Sylvie and others, saying, "Traveling constantly helps you two achieve multidimensional unity, reaching a qualification level of 140. You should study these authorities in the future, striving to become a Saint."

"Yes." Sylvie nodded.

Now it’s the Yuan Primordial Saint era; within a universe, Saints are still trying to break through.

Otherwise, it would greatly embarrass His Majesty!

However, as time continues to move forward.

Some Gorgeous Universes, after Nokron’s splendid critique, have gradually gained fame, attracting many strong warriors’ allegiance, gradually forming a new generation powerhouse, with a snowballing trend.

Even though this remains the middle period of the Saint era outbreak, with hardly any successful Unity Realm achievers, becoming saints with the strongest Perfect Foundation.

Yet, many mid-defeated failures who had merged dozens of themselves, achieving around 135 qualifications, still serve as essential pillars of the universe.

Upon obtaining allegiance from these large numbers of competition failures, several Gorgeous Universes begin to rise, even launching attacks on surrounding universes, secretly descending, and devising strategies to pry open the Saint Lock.

On this day, while Li Qing sips tea in a certain universe, commenting on the universe’s elegance, he suddenly looks up, "A universe has been annihilated."

"Just as expected!"

The local Saints sensed it subtly, their hearts filled with panic.

It was the previous painting universe, the first to receive critique, exaggerated by Ancient Saints, attracting strong warriors’ allegiance, growing relentlessly over the years.

Now, it actually managed to annihilate a universe?

Previously, only Ancient Saints could obliterate a universe, how could a young Saint do this now, the significance of this boggling their minds.

"Senior, how was it annihilated?" the Saint respectfully asked.

Li Qing did not refuse to answer, knowing they would find out sooner or later, "Now, that universe possesses four Saints, two related to Space, two related to Life... with more people, naturally, they can destroy other universes."

"How could it be?" The Saint appeared puzzled, "A universe can only hold one of the same tiered Saint, right? Two tigers cannot coexist on a mountain; how can they gather together?"

Li Qing chuckled, "Is there anything absolute? As long as a stronger Saint suppresses a weaker one, turning them into subordinates, it’s possible."

Putting aside the title of Saint, they are inherently strong beings.

Among similar strong beings, there always exists a subordinate relationship, submitting to stronger entities, isn’t it naturally expected?

However, one universe ultimately isn’t suited for two same-tier Saints to reside long term.

How do they split the Authority of this universe?

50% for each person?

This is too inconvenient.

So, this mechanism ultimately suits one universe-four Saints.

Nonetheless.

After Ancient Saints, new forces with universes successfully executed the first parallel universe kill. This marked another historical milestone, indicating they could rely on pure strength for attacks without resorting to sneaky measures.

However, Li Qing continued to remain indifferent, persisting in his role as a judge.

"Senior, how does my universe look to you?" The Saint lowered his eyebrows in deep respect.

He knew that unless his universe was favored, it might become the next annihilated universe.

Unrecognized, no one would pledge allegiance, the new generation within the multi-dimensional universe would not come here, leading to a generational gap.

What use are these several Saints anymore? No matter how strong, without new generation forces, they’re doomed for death.

What?

Are you opting to nurture your universe’s younglings?

The young generation within your universe, upon progressing in cultivation, will naturally step into the multi-dimensional universe, traverse parallel space-time, engaging in unification battles.

What makes you think, after completing that invincible journey, post the study abroad, they would definitely return?

If your universe is strong, naturally they may repay the favor, return to their universe, maybe even becoming a Saint.

But if your universe lacks prospects, is shrouded in ambiguity, how could they sacrifice their future?

"Senior, how about our universe?" At this moment, that Saint spoke again.

"Average."

Li Qing stood up, turned around, and left with Sylvie.

The Saint’s face turned pale, his eyes deadened.

Li Qing possessed no intentions of accepting bribes whatsoever, leaving directly.

The world trusted him, perceiving him as a benchmark, naturally he cannot favor any side, or he will lose trust.

He wandered the All Heavens, accepting local reverence, striding through Jianghu, advocating nothing but three principles: fairness, fairness, and damn fairness.

Favoring anyone secretly diminishes the prestige of being an Ancient Saint, where’s the respect?

Besides, Li Qing really desires nothing from them, the various bribes offered, cosmic specialties, local beauties, they are all meaningless.

"Your Majesty, we’ve been traveling for over thirty years."

Sylvie remarked at that moment, "Translating to the time line within one universe’s All Heavens, it comes to about seventy million years; I have a feeling things are about to become unsettled."

"Precisely, this travel may indeed become turbulent."

Li Qing nodded, enjoying the days within his Gorgeous Universe, he indeed lived in leisurely comfort, but it won’t remain comfortable forever.

"Time is nearly ripe, if predictions hold true, after these tens of millions of years, the first batch of 81-qualification Saints will appear in large numbers across the multi-dimensional universe."

Li Qing smiled.

The emergence of the top 140-qualification monstrous beings reaching cosmic limits also implies their talent can confront prior lower qualifications, seizing the lead in demonstrating Time Path that ordinary Saints couldn’t.

The first batch of monstrous beings has diligently cultivated for so long, they are finally about to blossom!

"The third big fish within time, or perhaps even multiple big fish, should soon appear."

Li Qing gazed at the Long River of Time in the sky, with Atabia and Emperor already swimming within.

These two haven’t surfaced over the years, only engrossed in Enlightenment within.

As they swam together, surprisingly creating a CP-like interaction of two dragons playing with a pearl in the water.

Li Qing calmly stated, "If those two haven’t succeeded yet, their Long River of Time will soon have plenty of neighbors, making life undoubtedly very intriguing."
