Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 341 Ascending to the Throne of the Supreme God!

"It is indeed a test of your talent."

Xu Qingzhi sighed, "But you haven't started cultivating the rules of spacetime yet, so you don't understand how difficult it is. Among the three paths of time, the rules of the future are the most inconceivably difficult. It is normal for them to be ten or a hundred times slower than cultivating the current rules."

She looked at Lin Qing and shook her head, saying, "Future vision, future body, and descending into the future—these three mysteries of the future are all more difficult than the last. His Majesty the King of Light actually wants you to succeed within 38 million years?"

"So what level do I need to cultivate to succeed?" Lin Qing asked curiously. "Does it mean I need to perfect both the mysteries of future vision and future body?"

"This...I don't know either."

Xu Qingzhi hesitated for a moment, then said, "Just seeing the future of the Brilliant King Pearl, I estimate that future vision only requires crossing the threshold. But to prevent the destruction of the King Pearl in the future, one needs to have mastered the mysteries of the 'future body'."

Lin Qing looked at her with a strange expression.

Didn't you say it was unclear? How come you've clarified it now?
However, he could guess that Xu Qingzhi must have gone to consult someone else.

"Crossing the threshold? Minor achievement?" Lin Qing asked, "Is this how the mysteries of the rules of time are divided?"

Xu Qingzhi pondered for a moment and said, "As you delve deeper into the mysteries of the rules of time, each mystery will not only become more and more powerful, but will also undergo some subtle changes. For example, the mystery of time acceleration can only accelerate oneself when you first enter the field, but when you achieve a small success, you can form a time acceleration domain, and when you reach perfection, you can even create areas with different flow rates within the domain."

She looked at Lin Qing and said, "The mystery of future vision is the same. The deeper you comprehend it, the more future lines you can see, and the farther into the future you can see. However, at the beginner level, you can only see static images, while at the minor level, the future you see will be more realistic, like real audio and video. At the perfect level, you can even sense specific auras and so on."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

So this is the difference between beginner, intermediate, and advanced levels?

"What about the future body?" Lin Qing asked.

Xu Qingzhi pretended to ponder for a moment before relaying, "The beginner's future body can only hide in the future line and can only be used to save one's life, but it cannot affect the future. Therefore, you must wait until your future body reaches a minor level of mastery before you can do this."

Lin Qing nodded thoughtfully, having gained a clearer understanding of her upcoming cultivation plan.

"Thank you for your guidance." Lin Qing said thank you, and sighed, "If it weren't for Miss Xu's guidance, I really wouldn't know what to do."

Xu Qingzhi shook her head slightly and said, "His Majesty the Prince of Guang must know that you and I are acquainted and that you are able to find out these things, which is why he did this. Besides, it's just some information."

Although knowledge in the realm of kings must be paid for, this kind of information is something that ordinary chaotic beings must also pay money to buy.

But she certainly wouldn't let Lin Qing pay anything for such a small amount of money.

"Let's talk about that 'Fleeting Ethereal Flower' again."

Xu Qingzhi said, "The Momentary Ethereal Flower is also one of the special treasures in the King Realm universe. It is extremely rare, but it contains immeasurable characteristics. Before it blooms, it is in an ethereal state and is scattered throughout the universe. It only gathers together at the moment of blooming and is born in the void, but it only blooms for a moment, a moment so short that it is extremely difficult to find its existence."

"Can we use futuristic vision to find it in advance?" Lin Qing asked.

Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said, "Even foresight, there must be a definite target. Before the Momentary Void Flower blooms, it is just a pure void. No one knows when or where it will be born and bloom in the universe of the Kings Realm."

She looked at Lin Qing and said, "Unless you can observe the future of the entire universe, there is no way to find it. Even with the source power that His Majesty the Light King gave you, you can only sense its existence for the instant it blooms."

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

He pondered for a moment and said, "So it seems that His Majesty the Light King's order for me to find the Fleeting Spirit Flower is a test of whether I have mastered the mystery of 'Descending into the Future'?"

"clever."

Xu Qingzhi smiled and nodded, saying, "That's true. The Fleeting Spirit Flower blooms only once every so often, and it could appear anywhere in the universe of the Kings Realm. To think that you can find its existence just by using 'future vision'? Only an ultimate being who has cultivated the rules of the future can do that."

“But if there is the mystery of ‘descending to the future,’ then consciousness can descend to the future and live in the future,” Xu Qingzhi said. “In this way, you can determine the blooming time and location of the Momentary Spirit Flower in the future and go to wait for it in advance.”

"I see……"

Lin Qing suddenly realized, then asked curiously, "This mystery of descending into the future sounds somewhat like a future body? Can't a future body also enter the future?"

“Of course it’s different,” Xu Qingzhi said. “The future body is just a point in time in the future. It is said that time and space at that point are frozen. You can only wait for the passage of time in reality, and wait for the present to meet the future. Moreover, you can’t escape into the distant future.”

"Then I understand."

Lin Qing nodded in realization. Wasn't this the simulated future he had experienced?

He then asked, "To obtain the Fleeting Spirit Flower, one must understand 'Descending into the Future'?"

“That’s true.” Xu Qingzhi sighed, “It’s said that even the ultimate beings who cultivate the current rules find it difficult to obtain the Fleeting Spirit Flower.”

"Even the ultimate being can't be caught?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.

"Because the moment the Ethereal Flower is born is just too short," Xu Qingzhi said. "Even if an ultimate being can sense the existence of the Ethereal Flower in an instant, it will still take a moment to teleport there before the flower withers and transforms back into its boundless form, scattered throughout the universe."

"Aren't there rules now that allow time to stand still and time to flow backward?" Lin Qing asked.

“That doesn’t mean we can stop or reverse time in the entire universe,” Xu Qingzhi said. “The area where time can be stopped or reversed is only so big. Before or after the Void Flower gathers, it will disperse throughout the universe. Once it withers, it will be too late.”

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

“However, if it is the mystery of ‘descending to the past’ of the past rules, it is possible to temporarily obtain the Fleeting Spirit Flower.” Xu Qingzhi said, “Although it is impossible to bring the Spirit Flower from the past to the present, it can still be used in the past universe.”

Lin Qing listened with great interest to these stories about the mysteries of time.

It sounds like the three paths of the time rules are all unique, and the future rules, which are the most difficult to cultivate, are indeed quite abnormal.

"The Mystery of Descending into the Future is the most difficult of the three mysteries of the future rules to cultivate." Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said, "To find the Fleeting Spirit Flower, the Mystery of Descending into the Future is not enough. I'm afraid you'll have to cultivate it to a minor level and be able to truly control your body in the future."

"Adding to the secret techniques you mentioned earlier, the difficulty of cultivation must be incredibly high." She sighed. "Only 38 million years? That's ridiculously difficult. In 38 million years, anyone who can even cross the threshold of any kind of mystery will already be considered a top genius in the field of future rules."

"With the help of the position of the Supreme God, I should be alright, right?" Lin Qing said.

"That's different."

Xu Qingzhi sighed, "If it's the current rules, then I think you still have hope. But the greatest difficulty in cultivating the future rules is not in comprehending the mysteries of the future rules, but in the danger of getting lost in the future!"

"Lost in the future?" Lin Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Correct."

Xu Qingzhi sighed, "The future is an illusion that does not exist, possessing endless possibilities. To cultivate the rules of the future, one must delve into the future and distance oneself from reality. As cultivation deepens, even the most talented must be careful to avoid losing their consciousness in the future. At best, they will go mad; at worst, their consciousness will perish!"

"I see..." Lin Qing suddenly understood. "No wonder His Majesty tested me like this..."

Because he simply won't get lost in the future!
This was already confirmed when His Majesty the King had him try to simulate the future.

“So, the difficulty His Majesty the King set for you is really exaggerated,” Xu Qingzhi said. “Even if you fail, it’s normal, you don’t need to feel guilty.”

"Thank you for your guidance." Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "Anyway, I'll try my best first."

Then, he suddenly asked, "Is the person Miss Xu consulted also a cultivator of the future rules?"

Xu Qingzhi was taken aback and said, "You figured it out?"

She smiled somewhat embarrassedly and said helplessly, "Cultivators of future rules are too rare, so I can only ask one senior sister for guidance."

"How is her cultivation progressing?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

"She has perfected her vision of the future and her future body has been fully developed for many years. As for the mysteries of descending into the future, she has only recently entered the threshold."

Xu Qingzhi shook her head and said, "The main reason is that among the Kings, only His Majesty the Light King is the ultimate being who cultivates the rules of the future. Among the eternal beings, there are only a few who cultivate the rules of the future. There are not many people who can guide her, but her status is still very high, no less than that of ordinary eternal beings."

"Oh?" Lin Qing asked疑惑地, "How long has she been cultivating?"

“This senior sister was born in the early stages of the creation of the Realm of Kings,” Xu Qingzhi said. “It’s probably almost 30 billion years ago.”

"Three hundred billion years?" Lin Qing was astonished.

“Don’t think it’s slow,” Xu Qingzhi said. “I heard that those eternal beings who cultivate the rules of the future all praise her as a genius in the rules of the future. Those beings are all ancient beings who have cultivated for trillions of years.”

"Cultivating for trillions of years? That's much older than the King Realm!" Lin Qing exclaimed in surprise.

“Of course,” Xu Qingzhi said. “His Majesty the King of Light achieved the ultimate realm trillions of years ago, but he waited so many years for two new ultimate beings to be born in his homeland so that they could open up the realm of kings together.”

"Trillions of years..."

Lin Qing was taken aback and couldn't help but ask, "Why doesn't His Majesty the King of Light invite two ultimate beings from other civilizations to reincarnate in his homeland and help him?"

For a Level 2.9 civilization to transform into a miniature universe and break away from the main universe, it must possess an ultimate being that controls the three major time rules of past, present, and future, or a pillar-level cosmic treasure, in order to create a miniature universe.

"It must be the ultimate existence born in its hometown."

Xu Qingzhi said, "Moreover, the sacred worlds within the universe simply cannot accommodate such great beings as ultimate beings. Unless it is originally the homeland of that ultimate being, it is impossible for them to be reincarnated."

Lin Qing then understood why His Majesty the Light King achieved the ultimate realm in 1.8 billion years, but it took him trillions of years to open up the realm of kings. It turned out that he was waiting for two new ultimate beings to be born on his own land.
However, the gods may have lived through thousands of eras. Even if each era averages billions of years, that would still be countless trillions of years.

Lin Qing suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "So, before the transformation of the King Realm, there were always ultimate beings and eternal beings in the Holy Land period?"

"of course."

Xu Qingzhi nodded and said, "His Majesty the King of Light used a lot of treasures to expand and cultivate his hometown holy land, which is why a large number of chaotic beings and eternal beings were born. I heard that his hometown was the strongest holy land in the main universe at that time, and even other third-level civilizations were quite wary of it. Even the Star Abyss Monarchs who launched the Great Annihilation were killed by His Majesty the King of Light."

Lin Qing nodded in realization.

A level 2.9 civilization possesses an ultimate existence and a multitude of eternal existences; shouldn't other level 3 civilizations be wary of it?
While the great annihilation caused by the cosmic abyss can certainly destroy everything, chaotic beings can escape to the outside of the universe, so there is nothing to fear.

"However, even a being like His Majesty the King of Light couldn't withstand the Great Annihilation?" Lin Qing suddenly asked.

"The Great Annihilation was mainly caused by the Star Abyss; the Star Abyss Monarch was only responsible for triggering it," Xu Qingzhi said. "Under the Great Annihilation, even the ultimate beings dare not withstand it head-on and can only hide."

She sighed, "After all, that's Xingyuan..."

Lin Qing was taken aback.

Indeed, both the Star Abyss Demon Clan and the Void God Clan are Level 4 civilizations.

“However…” Lin Qing thought to himself, “That is one idea. I can start by developing my hometown…”

“The test His Majesty the King gave you is indeed outrageous.” Xu Qingzhi said seriously, “My senior sister told me to tell you not to force yourself to cultivate the future rules in order to catch up with the progress, otherwise once you lose your way, I’m afraid no one can save you.”

"I understand." Lin Qingqing nodded slightly.

……

After parting ways with Xu Qingzhi, Lin Qing observed the Mountain and Sea Realm for a while, but didn't rush back, since it had only been a few years since she left.

The next day, Lin Qing stopped wasting time and prepared to ascend to the position of the chief god.

They immediately headed to a mysterious place in the central waters of the Void Sea—

The sacred mountain of life.

As the place where the origin of life in the Void Sea converges, this majestic and towering mountain of life is tens of millions of kilometers high, and its height is related to the abundance and strength of life in the Void Sea.

The stronger the origin of life, the higher the sacred mountain of life, and the clearer the perception of the rules of spacetime and the origin of the universe.

Therefore, the Great Extinction is also the time when the sacred mountain of life is at its smallest.

Lin Qing had been the main god in the simulated future, so he naturally knew these things very well.

"Senior Mirror."

As time and space shifted, Lin Qing gracefully landed on the summit of the Mountain of Life, immediately causing a ripple in the surrounding intangible seven-colored life essence, which seemed to be extremely close to him.

He looked at the black-robed, white-haired woman before him and said, "Senior, you can relinquish your position as the chief god."

Immediately, Lin Qing reached out, and the Chaotic Divine Heart hidden deep within his soul quietly emerged and descended towards the Life Divine Mountain beneath his feet.

"I've waited too long for this day." Senior Mirror took a deep breath.

She immediately reached out her hand, and the majestic mountain of life instantly emitted endless, dazzling light of the source of life. The entire mountain trembled, causing the spacetime around it to fluctuate violently.

Before long, a Chaos Divine Heart of the Life type detached from the depths of the Divine Mountain of Life and re-integrated into Mirror's body.

Only when another Chaos God who can inherit the position of the chief god is present, and when the Chaos God Heart is integrated into the Mountain of Life, can she reclaim her own Chaos God Heart and detach herself from the position of the chief god.

next moment--

"boom!!"

As Lin Qing's Chaotic Divine Heart merged into this Mountain of Life, terrifying primordial fluctuations erupted, and endless primordial energy of the universe surged forth, instantly merging completely into Lin Qing's body and even his soul.

Then, an immense and boundless will suddenly descended from the depths of the universe, completely enveloping Lin Qing.

A new Lord God is born!
