Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 363 Eternal Treasure!

"Yes, traitor."

A cold rage flashed in the eyes of Emperor Qiongguang: "Master was the first ultimate being of our homeland. He sacrificed countless amounts of time and effort to make our homeland's civilization transcend the universe. Because the number of geniuses born from the Holy Land civilization was limited, he also paid a heavy price to invite geniuses from other civilizations to be reincarnated in our homeland. He spared no expense to cultivate new ultimate beings."

"Back then, in order to cultivate an ultimate being who had mastered the rules of the past universe, my master even paid a great price and asked that past world god to give him a word of guidance."

"But what was the result? It resulted in the creation of the traitor, the Primordial God Emperor!"

"Then the Lord of Wanhai Kingdom is no better. He never hesitates to wage war in order to seize the origin of the universe and to strengthen himself!"

"That means the ultimate existence is beyond the limitations of the Second Universe Network; otherwise, these two would have died countless times already!"

Emperor Qiongguang's eyes were icy cold, and every word he uttered was filled with soaring anger. It seemed that he had not expressed his anger like this for a long time.

Lin Qing then began to understand.

The war between the three great divine kingdoms was actually a struggle for the origin of the universe?
"So, the Lord of Wanhai Kingdom and the Primordial God Emperor were actually reincarnations of geniuses from other civilizations?" Lin Qing said.

“That’s right,” said Emperor Qiongguang. “Not only them, but many of Master’s disciples, and even the ultimate beings in the King Realm today, are actually geniuses who were reincarnated from other civilizations and only later cultivated to their current level.”

He shook his head slightly and said, "There's no other way. The proportion of geniuses born in a Level 2 civilization holy land is just too low. If you want to open up a small universe, you must be an ultimate being born in your home civilization. The life imprint of an eternal being or an ultimate being is too powerful to be integrated into the world origin of a Level 2 civilization holy land. We can only ask geniuses from other civilizations to reincarnate here and then find a way to cultivate them into ultimate beings."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

To establish a three-dimensional civilization microcosm, there must be three ultimate beings: past, present, and future.

Moreover, it must be the ultimate existence born from the native civilization.

The ultimate or eternal existences of other civilizations are too powerful to be integrated into the origin of the world. Therefore, they can only seek out geniuses below eternity to be reincarnated in their homeland and then nurtured into ultimate beings.

The Realm of Kings once had His Majesty the King of Light, but it is still lacking two ultimate beings, one in the present and one in the past.

It seems that King Guang invited many geniuses from other civilizations to cultivate these two rules, and paid a great price to cultivate the Lord of Wanhai Kingdom and the Primordial God Emperor, but he did not expect to misjudge them and cultivate two traitors.

"My master can see the future, but he can't see the future of the Lord of the Myriad Seas and the Primordial God Emperor after they established the God Kingdom. He also never expected that these two would betray him."

Emperor Qiongguang sighed, "Back then, the Lord of Wanhai Kingdom and the Primordial God Emperor pretended to be honest, but... people's hearts are fickle. Their subsequent actions completely chilled my heart. When accepting disciples, I value their character the most. In the past 30 billion years, there have been geniuses, but I just don't like them."

Lin Qing nodded slowly.

Emperor Qiongguang sighed, reached out and patted Lin Qing's shoulder, his eyes softening. "I heard that you value your hometown and family very much, which is good. What Master and we disciples hate most are those who regard all living beings as ants."

Lin Qing didn't say anything, but asked with a puzzled look, "Master, as the ultimate being who cultivates the rules of the future, is so rare, didn't you ever think of using a pillar-level cosmic treasure to replace the ultimate being in order to create the universe?"

Emperor Qiongguang was speechless and said, "Do you think pillar-level cosmic treasures are easy to obtain?"

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

"Let me tell you," said the Emperor of Qiongguang, "there isn't a single pillar-level cosmic treasure in the entire Realm of Kings!"

"Not a single one?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Not even Master?"

"No," Emperor Qiongguang shook his head and said, "There are treasures with the potential to become pillar-level treasures, but there isn't a single one that can truly transform into a pillar-level treasure!"

He said, "You should also know that the world inside the Cosmic Treasure has no distinction between past, present, and future. Anyone who cultivates any spacetime rule can activate it because the Cosmic Treasure itself is a near-real world."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

This is indeed the case.

The world inside his cosmic treasure is the real world born of nature. Although the mysteries of time and space it contains are incomplete, there is no distinction between past, present, and future.

"And pillar-level cosmic treasures..."

A hint of longing appeared in the eyes of the Celestial Emperor: "That is a true miniature universe! It also contains the complete rules of spacetime, encompassing the past, present, and future!"

Lin Qing now understands just how precious a pillar-level cosmic treasure is.

"Don't think too much."

Emperor Qiongguang patted Lin Qing on the shoulder and said, "Even the ultimate beings almost all use Eternal Treasures, only they are of higher quality."

"Even my master doesn't have a pillar-level universe treasure, so I dare not think that far ahead." Lin Qing shook her head slightly.

He had originally planned that when he was about to transform the Mountain and Sea Realm into a Level 3 civilization, he could first try to transform his own natal universe treasure into a pillar-level one.

In retrospect, he may have been overthinking things.

"Junior brother, your potential is amazing, so there's no need to underestimate yourself."

Emperor Qiongguang smiled and said, "Although those who cultivate the rules of the future do not have much of an advantage in combat power, they are still rare and special, and can be said to be the ones who are most likely to obtain treasures in the chaos."

"Whether you can get the treasure or not, it all depends on luck, doesn't it?" Lin Qing shook his head.

"Haha." Emperor Qiongguang laughed, "Don't even mention cultivating to our ultimate level, even among eternal beings there are many who reach the limit of luck. Luck is just luck after all."

"Oh?" Lin Qing asked with some doubt, "There's such a thing as a limit to luck?"

“Luck is the universe’s favor,” said Emperor Qiongguang. “But once you leave the universe and enter the endless chaos, the influence of the universe’s rules becomes very limited. The endless chaos does not favor any living being.”

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

At this moment, the two Radiant King Pearls outside the space-time above suddenly emitted an even stronger light, becoming increasingly dazzling, like the final burning of a star.

Clearly, the two talked for more than ten minutes in this space-time where time flowed extremely slowly, while almost a year had passed in the outside world.

"Oh?"

Emperor Qiongguang raised his head slightly, and the spacetime around him, which had slowed down to the extreme, immediately dissipated, and the flow of time returned to normal.

“Junior brother, this is your test. Come and do it,” said Emperor Qiongguang.

Lin Qing nodded slowly.

His Majesty the King of Light gave him the test of obtaining two Radiant King Pearls at the same time, but one of the pearls would inevitably be destroyed, so he had to rely on the mysteries of his future self to obtain both.

“Wang Zhu…”

Lin Qing's eyes immediately conjured up images of future timelines, and he instantly discerned which King Pearl would ultimately be destroyed.

Immediately, he reached out, and a force penetrated the future line, entering the moment when this glorious royal pearl was about to self-destruct, and forcibly bound it, allowing the other royal pearl to self-destruct.

Time passed little by little.

The two magnificent royal pearls shone at their most intense light, dazzlingly bright, and the power emanating from their light alone was comparable to that of a high-level chaotic being.

However, for Lin Qing, this amount of power was naturally enough to easily suppress the seal.

Suddenly--

"Click."

One of the royal pearls suddenly dimmed, began to collapse and disappear, and its light dissipated, while the other stabilized and remained dazzling.

And now, the future meets at this moment. In an instant, the King Pearl, which had collapsed and faded to its limit, once again emitted an incomparably dazzling light, appearing in reality, floating in the air with another King Pearl, reflecting each other's brilliance!

The future has already changed.

"It's done." Lin Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately grabbed the two king pearls, which were countless times brighter than stars, and sealed them away.

"Congratulations, Junior Brother."

Emperor Qiongguang exclaimed, "The rules of the future are truly wondrous. Even if time were reversed, it would be impossible for two King Pearls to exist simultaneously, but the future body can forcibly achieve this by altering the future."

“However, this magnificent royal pearl will have to wait 3.8 billion years before it can be conceived again,” Lin Qing said.

He also understands.

The essence of the future self is to change the future and bring future outcomes into reality.

Even after time is reversed, it is still the same royal pearl, but only one of the two royal pearls can exist.

"Junior brother, there are quite a few eternal beings and ultimate beings watching from outside."

Emperor Qiongguang advised, "You are not yet your master's disciple, so there's nothing I can do to help you. You should use these two Brilliant King Pearls as soon as possible."

Lin Qing nodded and asked, "Your Majesty, if we use two Radiant King Pearls at once, will it increase the success rate of the treasure's transformation into an eternal form?"

"of course."

Emperor Qiongguang smiled, "In addition to increasing the success rate of transformation by more than 90%, your treasure will also gain the characteristic of 'Undying Light'."

"The Unextinguishable Light?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.

"Yes, your treasure will become an indestructible existence, and it will be able to break through the void and return, enough to overcome the obstacles at the cosmic level," said Emperor Qiongguang. "Even if an ultimate being shatters your treasure, it can instantly recover to its original state. Even if an ultimate being seals or imprisons your treasure, it can forcibly break through the void and return!"

Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

Is this the indestructible light?

Is the treasure indestructible and possesses the ability to break through the cosmic level and return to its original state?
It's astonishing that absorbing two magnificent royal pearls at once could produce such a pair of royal pearls; no wonder it takes 3.8 billion years to nurture a single pair.

"Your Majesty, please take a look."

Lin Qingyi stretched out his hand, and a small, exquisite silver nine-story pyramid immediately floated above his palm. "My natal treasure, now absorbing these two Brilliant King Pearls, is it confident enough to transform into eternity?"

Although these two magnificent royal pearls can increase the success rate by more than 90%, there is still a failure rate of nearly 10%.

Therefore, he still wanted to be more prepared.

"I'll see."

Emperor Qiongguang examined it carefully and then exclaimed, "Your natal treasure has an excellent foundation, seemingly possessing the potential to become a pillar-level treasure? It has already been cultivated to the limit of the initial stage of the Primordial Realm. Have you used any Chaos Treasures to enhance its foundation during its cultivation?"

"I've used one dose of the Heavenly Luo Cosmic Light Essence," Lin Qing said immediately.

He also knew that the key to the transformation of a primordial treasure into an eternal treasure lay in three conditions—

First, sufficient energy for transformation.

Second, the foundation of the eternal treasure.

Third, precious materials used for transformation.

Energy is the easiest thing to satisfy, but the second and third conditions are the most difficult.

"Oh? That's very good." Emperor Qiongguang smiled and said, "The success rate of your natal treasure transforming into eternity is at least 99%, it's almost impossible to fail, that's already good enough."

"That's good."

Lin Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief and immediately nodded, saying, "Then I'll use these two Brilliant King Pearls now."

He hesitated for a moment, then said, "I've heard that transforming into an Eternal Treasure requires at least half the energy of a Chaos Origin Crystal. Could Your Majesty sell me a Chaos Origin Crystal?"

Emperor Qiongguang laughed and said, "Normally, it would take about 30% of the energy of a Chaos Origin Crystal to transform into an Eternal Treasure. But yours is an Eternal Treasure Set, so it would take at least ten Chaos Origin Crystals to be sure. I'll sell you ten."

"Ten?" Lin Qing was taken aback, and said helplessly, "Your Majesty, I don't have that much cosmic sand here right now. Could you give me some more time?"

A single Chaos Origin Crystal is typically worth around five million cosmic sands.

The cosmic sand on his body could only buy one Chaos Origin Crystal.

"Can't afford it?"

Emperor Qiongguang looked at Lin Qing with surprise and patted him on the shoulder with some sympathy. "Junior brother, you have had a really hard time these years. No disciple of Master is short of cosmic sand."

He smiled and said, "How about this, I'll lend you ten Chaos Origin Crystals, but you'll have to repay me eleven in the future, and for every million years that passes, you'll have to repay me one more Chaos Origin Crystal. How about that?"

Lin Qing was taken aback.

One Chaos Origin Crystal is worth five million cosmic sands. Many advanced Chaos beings cannot even afford one. Even the most powerful advanced Chaos beings might not be able to earn five million cosmic sands in a million years.
That's really dark...

However, Lin Qing still nodded and said, "Okay, I'll borrow it."

"Junior brother is so generous." Emperor Qiongguang immediately smiled and took out ten Chaos Origin Crystals. "Here you go, ten Chaos Origin Crystals."

Lin Qing had originally planned to borrow more Chaos Origin Crystals to power up the Entropy Reverser and activate the so-called supreme miracle 'Turning Illusion into Reality,' but now it seems that it's better to accumulate them himself.

It would take at least four or five hundred Chaos Source Crystals to fully charge it, and he had no reason to borrow so many Chaos Source Crystals.

Let's wait and see.

"First, I'll transform my natal treasure. With an eternal treasure, I can earn more in war, and maybe I can afford to buy it on my own..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and immediately began to let his natal treasure absorb the two radiant king pearls.

As the Chaos Origin Crystal was rapidly consumed, his natal treasure trembled and emitted a buzzing sound, and began to rapidly transform into the Eternal level!

Watching this scene unfold, Emperor Qiongguang couldn't help but sigh with emotion: "To possess an eternal treasure before even achieving eternity... Even within the three great divine kingdoms, aside from the disciples of the three rulers, very few people enjoy such treatment..."

In the blink of an eye, several months have passed.

Inside the enormous and magnificent temple, the nine-tiered pyramid, which had been undergoing a transformation and trembling for a long time, was now sometimes dim and sometimes dazzling, its light and darkness fluctuating, as if it had entered the most critical moment of its transformation.

Suddenly--

After a brief silence, accompanied by an explosion of dazzling light, a terrifying aura suddenly spread out.

Meanwhile, the small nine-tiered pyramid began to grow at an astonishing rate, returning to its original size in the blink of an eye. Fortunately, the spacetime range inside this temple is measured in light-years, so a treasure that is only tens of millions of kilometers high is nothing.

However, this treasure seems to have resisted the invisible limitations of the universe's rules, and its size is still growing at an alarming rate.

Hundreds of millions of miles, billions of miles, tens of billions of miles, hundreds of billions of miles...

At the same time, a vast and eternal sense of tranquility permeated the air.

A set of Eternal Treasures has been created!
