Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 335 A Miracle in an Instant

"Is there even a sliver of a possibility?"

Manager Qiu couldn't help but say, "How could there possibly be any hope? A demon king whose strength has reached the world's upper limit, and who also possesses an astonishing will that can influence the river of time and space, is completely beyond the theoretical limits of what can be dealt with. And this survivor hasn't even transcended yet, how could he possibly defeat him?"

The handsome young man glanced at him indifferently and said, "If he also has such will, wouldn't there be hope?"

Supervisor Qiu was taken aback and said, "How could a being that has not yet transcended the cycle of time and space have its will transformed to such an extent?"

"In the history of our King Realm, there have been such peerless geniuses," the handsome young man said slowly. "It is understandable that ultimate beings would seek such outstanding disciples."

He looked at Lin Qing on the water screen and said slowly, "Besides, this world of survival has a chance to glimpse the river of time, doesn't it?"

"What you mean, sir..." Manager Qiu said in astonishment, "But, how could it be just for a moment?"

"I don't think it's possible either."

The handsome young man said calmly, "However, let's wait and see."

……

……

Inside the Abyss.

"The gap is too big..."

Lin Qing frowned deeply, recalling the scene of being attacked by that demon king just now, "Can spacetime be changed with just willpower? Is a higher level of willpower really this terrifying?"

He had only heard that there were higher levels of will, but he didn't know the specifics.

Normally, a being like him, existing in the universe, can only raise his will to the upper limit of the universe, that is, his will can influence reality and almost become real.

As for a higher level of will?
It is said that only by entering the river of time and space, witnessing the reality of time and space, and merging one's will into the river of time and space, can one's will undergo a fundamental transformation!

At this stage, chaotic beings like the Primordial Ancestor of the Celestial Origin Seat, who have just crossed the threshold of spacetime, cannot enter the river of spacetime at all; they can only barely sense its existence.

In theory, only higher-level, more advanced chaotic beings could possibly achieve this.

Yes, even higher chaotic beings are only a possibility!

This shows that many advanced chaotic beings may not possess this level of will!
"In this world of survival, how could the soul of a high-level chaotic being be made the king of monsters?"

Lin Qing found it somewhat unbelievable.

According to Xu Qingzhi, the Transcendent Ones such as the Ancestor of the Heavenly Origin Seat are just the weakest low-level chaotic beings. With the widespread cultivation system of the King Realm, the probability of their birth is not small.

Even among the Kings, higher-level chaotic beings are definitely considered elites.

Even among millions of low-level chaotic beings, there might not be a single high-level chaotic being, which shows how rare they are!
Even if the Myriad Worlds Group is a powerful force, it should cherish such elites. How could it be willing to let such elites give up everything and be reborn as a weak monster?

The so-called monster king is nothing more than someone who swaggers around in this survival world.

"However, the gap is indeed too large..."

Lin Qing frowned. "That attack from the Demon King just now could even shatter the armor projected from the aura of a supreme treasure from its natal universe. Its strength has definitely reached the limit of the world's restrictions, and on top of that, its will can alter spacetime..."

The projected armor, formed from a wisp of the aura of the supreme treasure of the natal universe, has reached the limit of the world's rules.

Logically speaking, even if the Demon King's strength reached the world's limit, it shouldn't have been so easy to break through the projection armor. However, the opponent's will altered spacetime, which is why it directly penetrated the projection armor's defenses.

If it weren't for another life-saving treasure that possessed absolute defense beyond the limits of the world, he would definitely be dead by now.

"Under these world rules, it is invincible among invincible."

Lin Qing took a deep breath. "Normally speaking, no matter how you look at it, it's illogical for me to kill it, but..."

This is a test from His Majesty the King of Light.

Since His Majesty the King of Light can foresee millions of future lines, it means that he has a chance of passing this test.

There must be some hope in this world, or within him, that would allow him to kill that demon king.

"what is it then?"

Lin Qing began to think carefully.

Is this your destined cosmic treasure?

Secret Techniques of Willpower?

"Two possibilities."

Lin Qing pondered to himself: "First, this world of survival hides some precious materials from chaos that can transform my natal universe treasure once again, such as transforming it into an eternal-level universe treasure."

"The rules of this survival world are probably set by an eternal being. If I possess an eternal cosmic treasure, I should be able to break the limitations of these world rules."

But he immediately shook his head slightly, dismissing the idea, "However, the possibility is rather small."

As far as he knew, even eternal beings longed for eternal-level cosmic treasures!
Such rare materials that can transform the universe's most precious treasures into eternal ones are probably extremely rare even in the chaos, so how could they be hidden in this man-made world?

"The second possibility... is that my will has evolved to a higher level. Once I also possess the will to change time and space, the advantage of the Demon King will vanish. Coupled with the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World, I will surely win."

Lin Qing frowned. "But... that can't be possible..."

He received the inheritance of "Three Thousand Purgatory" from the 'Flying Kite City Lord' of the Initial Realm. This secret method for tempering will was also created by the ultimate being, and theoretically it can cultivate will to the ultimate realm.

Of course, this is just theory; in reality, it requires support from various aspects such as level of understanding, comprehension, and opportunity.

He entered the realm through the 'Source of the Mind' and then preemptively completed the first stage of perfection, which is the limit of the universe.

To go any further, he must enter the River of Time and Space and glimpse the true nature of time and space before he can continue cultivating this secret technique.

This is a necessary condition.

Otherwise, even if you have the secret method to cultivate willpower, you can't use it in advance.

"Both possibilities are very small... what should we do?"

Lin Qing pondered for a long time, "Forget it, let's explore the entire survival world thoroughly first, maybe we'll discover something?"

He glanced at the final holy island deep in the mist, and immediately urged the Abyss to leave.

He won't come back until he has enough strength.

Coming again would only be suicide.

Therefore, you no longer need to worry about other survivors getting there first.

If the Demon King weren't restricted by the world and could only move within the Holy Island, all the survivors in the world who gathered together would only be slaughtered by it.

……

Time passes day by day.

More and more survivors rushed to the Holy Island, but no matter their strength, facing the Demon King, they were doomed.

Gradually, no one dared to come to Santorini anymore.

Lin Qing didn't bother with the other survivors. This world was designed to filter out the one and only, and everyone was a competitor. He had no interest in helping these survivors.

With his strength, he fears nothing in the entire world except for the Demon King.

Every day, he piloted the Abyss, searching everywhere for a hope that might not even exist.

This purely marine world is shrouded in mist, making search efficiency extremely low.

In the blink of an eye, three years passed.

this day.

"Huh? That's..."

On the Abyss, Lin Qing gazed at the dark sea in the distance, where a faint golden light could be seen rising and falling in the mist. He immediately jumped off the ship and chased after it at top speed.

It was a golden treasure chest floating on the water.

"Golden treasure chest?"

Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

Over the years, he has searched every silver treasure chest and even searched all the other survivors, but he has not found anything that can help him.

He had inquired with the traveling merchants in the night and already knew that there was a golden treasure chest in this survival world, but it was unique and no one knew its location.

Golden treasure chests appear randomly all over the world, and who gets to find one depends entirely on luck.

"Perhaps there is hope."

Lin Qing immediately returned to the ship with the treasure chest and then opened the unique golden treasure chest with great anticipation.

however--

"Resurrection Stone?"

Lin Qing frowned, looking at the oval-shaped gray stone in her hand. "What's the use of this thing? Resurrection?"

This resurrection stone can use the rules of this world to forcibly resurrect any living being it knows, as long as they died in this world and their souls have not transcended, even if their souls have dissipated, they can still be resurrected.

"Resurrect...resurrect whom?"

Lin Qing sighed helplessly; the hope that had just been ignited was instantly extinguished again.

The creatures he knew in this world, whether survivors or monsters, those who were already dead could not help him.

What good would it do to be resurrected?
"It's amazing that a soul can be resurrected after it has dissipated, but what's the use?" Lin Qing shook her head slightly.

He was once the ruler of the Mountain and Sea Realm, and he also resurrected the beings of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Normally, resurrection requires a soul. The origin of the Mountain and Sea Realm protects the souls of the beings in the Mountain and Sea Realm; it merely helps to reshape the body.

Once the soul dissipates, death is inevitable.

This resurrection stone can even revive a dissipated soul, which is indeed very powerful, but it doesn't help him at all, no matter who he revives.

"Where exactly is hope?" Lin Qing frowned.

He had once thought that there might be hope within this unique golden treasure chest.

But now it seems that it was just a chance to be resurrected.

"Ask the traveling merchants about the secret of this resurrection stone tonight." Lin Wei shook her head slightly. "Let's continue the search..."

……

That night.

"The resurrection stone..."

The Night Merchant looked at Lin Qing and said with a smile, "You want to know its secret? Actually, it doesn't have any special secret. It's just that this world was damaged in exchange for a resurrection. Don't you have anyone you want to resurrect?"

"The world is damaged?" Lin asked casually. "How can it revive even a dissipated soul?"

"Actually, the key is not this ordinary stone; it just represents an opportunity, like a shopping voucher. What is the significance of the voucher itself?"

The Night Merchant smiled and said, "This resurrection stone means that you have the right to command the world once, to command this world, which was created by an eternal being, to forcibly retrieve the souls of the beings that once existed from the river of time and space in which this world is located, and then let the world reshape their bodies. That's all."

"The long river of time and space?"

Lin Qing looked at him suddenly, and an unbelievable thought suddenly came to mind.

"Otherwise what?" the wandering merchant in the night sighed. "Even the soul has vanished, leaving only traces in the vast river of time. Besides reversing time, what other method is there to revive it?"

He looked up, as if gazing up at this world, or perhaps at the gods who created it. “This world of survival was created by you eternal beings. It contains all sorts of mysteries of space and time, and naturally, it also contains the mystery of ‘time reversal’.”

After taking a deep breath, Lin Qing immediately asked, "Since this resurrection stone is meant to resurrect beings I know, does that mean I'm the one who will locate them from the river of time?"

“Yes.” The Night Merchant smiled and said, “You can communicate with the will of the world and find the beings you wish to resurrect from the river of time.”

Lin Qing looked at him, suppressing her excitement, and asked, "Then... can I glimpse the river of time?"

“Of course.” The Night Merchant glanced at him. “Although it was only for a moment, under the protection of the world’s will, your soul was protected as if by multiple eternal beings, and it will not be swept away and sink into the river of time.”

"I understand……"

Lin Qing finally understood, took a deep breath, and said, "I'm fine."

After the traveling merchant left in the darkness, a look of wild joy flashed in his eyes.

"I see……"

"So this was the glimmer of hope!"

Lin Qing had completely understood, and looked at the resurrection stone in her hand with delight, "To be able to glimpse the river of time in an instant? Isn't this exactly what I need?"

One of the necessary conditions for the next level of the "Three Thousand Purgatory" secret technique is to recognize the reality of space and time!
"Try it."

Without hesitation, Lin Qing recalled the "Three Thousand Purgatory" secret technique, which he had tried many times before, and then activated the resurrection stone.

It doesn't matter who I resurrect, anyone will do!

The important thing is the process of resurrection!
The next moment, Lin Qing felt a vast and great invisible will envelop him.

World will!

This world, created by multiple eternal beings, possesses an incredibly powerful world will, capable of forcibly reversing time by utilizing the spacetime river in which this world exists.

"boom!!"

With a roar of consciousness, in an instant, Lin Qing felt his consciousness being swept up by this incomparably vast world will, as if it had been elevated to countless levels, and his perspective seemed to transcend everything, instantly 'seeing' a strange scene.

It was an incomparably majestic and incredibly long river, seemingly formed from endless time and space. Everything originated from this river, and everything ended where this river led.

It spans the endless space in all directions, and also the endless time from ancient times to the present. It is the beginning of everything, and also the end of everything.

The long river of time and space!

Only higher chaotic beings are qualified to enter the river of time and space!
Even barely sensing its existence requires an extraordinary level of power, which demonstrates its greatness and mystery.

Now, under the influence of the world's will, Lin Qing is like standing on the shoulders of giants, and is fortunate enough to glimpse this incomparably magnificent scene!

In that very instant, Lin Qing couldn't even bear to be distracted by thinking about who to revive; he was simply immersed in the miracle of that moment.

Immediately afterwards, his consciousness once again detached itself from the river of time and space.

"Is this the River of Time?" Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

It is said that being able to frequently enter the river of time and space is also very beneficial for understanding the rules of time and space.

Lin Qing only saw it for a moment, but in that instant, he vaguely gained a tiny understanding of the reality of time and space.

but……

Even if it is insignificant, it is still not an unknown that equals zero.

"That's enough."

Lin Qing slowly closed her eyes and silently recited in her heart: "Order".

"Advance payment for 'Three Thousand Purgatory'!"
