Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 368 The Spark That Ignites the War of the Divine Kingdom
"The world's treasures are the most valued treasures of our eternal existence."

Xinglianhou said, "Only after you achieve eternity and your inner world gives birth to its origin can you use the World Treasure. However, for now, you can do what Xiaoyingbo did and first place the World Treasure into your inner world to nurture it."

He explained, “For an eternal being who has mastered the complete rules of spacetime, the transformation of the inner world is the most important thing. Different world structures, world origins, and evolution methods will greatly affect the strength and potential of an eternal being. If one has mastered the method of creating a universe and made the inner world evolve into a universe, it is even more possible to reach the ultimate.”

Lin Qing couldn't help but seem to be deep in thought.

So... this is the difference between eternal existence and ultimate existence?

Both beings understand the complete rules of spacetime, but the ultimate being has mastered the evolution of the universe and can create a universe within its own body!

"But driving the world to evolve not only poses dangers, but also erodes the world's very essence."

Xinglianhou sighed, "The depletion of the world's origin is already troublesome enough. Relying solely on natural energy absorption to recover is far too slow. If the world's origin is only slightly depleted by one or two tenths, it will probably take hundreds of billions of years to gradually recover."

"If the way the world evolves is wrong, at best the world will be damaged and its strength will be reduced, at worst the world will collapse, or even one will die on the spot!"

Xinglian Hou looked at Lin Qing and said softly, "The treasures of the world inherently contain the source power needed to create the world. Once integrated into the world within the body, they will have all sorts of amazing benefits to the origin of the world."

Lin Qing suddenly realized the purpose of the World Treasure.

"For example, 'Lotus Reaching the Sky'."

The small crimson snake coiled around Xing Lianhou's arm and interjected, "The greatest benefit of the Heavenly Lotus to the inner world is that it stabilizes the world and accelerates the recovery of world damage. If you integrate it into your inner world, even if your method of evolving the world is wrong, it will not cause the world to collapse. Even if the world is damaged, it can recover quickly. In the Chaos Merchant Guild, it is worth eight billion points."

Lin Qing nodded slowly, then asked, "What about the trunk of the cosmic tree?"

The little red snake said, "The trunk of the cosmic tree is even more precious. The small piece you obtained is worth 20 billion points. Its only function is to help you expand your inner world."

"The larger the eternal inner world, the greater the power it represents."

The little red snake said, "It is said that one of the three prerequisites for opening up the universe is that the diameter of the inner world must reach more than 38 billion kilometers. As long as you absorb the branches of the cosmic tree, the inner world can expand and grow. It is naturally extremely precious, and the Void God Clan rarely takes it out. I didn't expect you to have such an opportunity?"

"Three hundred and eighty billion kilometers in diameter?" Lin Qing was somewhat shocked.

His inner world is still relatively simple, containing only a kind of spacetime mystery, which is why it is only tens of millions of kilometers in diameter.

The inner world of a peak-level chaotic being is at least hundreds of millions of kilometers in diameter.

This inner world may seem small, even smaller than the void realm of a level two civilization, but it is an inner world unique to a single being. It is a pure source of power and gathers all power into one, so it is naturally a completely different thing.

The world is as vast as the divine body of the world.

And what terrifying power must a world with a diameter of 38 billion kilometers possess?

Lin Qing only needed to do a quick calculation to understand how huge the difference was.

As for why someone like Xiaoyingbo, who hasn't even achieved eternity, would possess such a treasure, he wasn't surprised.

It's highly likely that this was the price Yu Gong paid for asking Xiao Yingbo to take action.

Given the relationship between Yu Gong and the Void Gods, it's quite normal for him to obtain a branch of the Cosmic Tree.

only……

Yu Gong probably never expected that in the end, it would actually benefit him.

"With such a world treasure as Mr. Jialin, once he achieves eternity, his starting point will be much higher than that of ordinary eternal beings."

Xing Lianhou sighed softly, "Even in the endless chaos, the number of world treasures is extremely small. Only some very special treasure lands can give birth to world treasures. Even in the realm of kings, where the essence of the king realm universe is gathered, only one kind of world treasure is given birth."

Although he had the help of the Flame-Devouring Python and obtained a Heavenly Lotus, that was all he had. He originally intended to use the other one to find an opportunity to exchange for other world treasures.

However, even if he obtains another world-class treasure, it will be difficult for him to make much progress, let alone cultivate an eternal treasure.

Therefore, he chose to use it to give as a favor.

"Does the Realm of Kings also nurture world treasures?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

"Yes." Marquis Xinglian nodded and said, "The legendary 'Fleeting Spirit Flower,' which gathers the boundless essence of the universe in the King Realm, is an extremely precious world treasure."

"The Fleeting Spirit Flower?" Lin Qing's heart stirred.

His Majesty the King of Light gave him the second test, which required him to obtain that Fleeting Spirit Flower.

The Fleeting Ethereal Flower contains immeasurable properties. Before it blooms, it exists in an ethereal state, scattered throughout the universe. It only gathers together at the moment of blooming, emerging from nothingness, yet it only blooms for a fleeting instant, a time so short as to be an infinitesimally small moment, making it extremely difficult to find.

Therefore, one must descend into the future to achieve minor mastery of its mysteries and personally search for it in order to have any hope of obtaining the Fleeting Spirit Flower.

"However, it takes countless billions of years for a single ephemeral flower to be born."

Marquis Xinglian sighed, "I've heard that the eternal beings of the three great divine kingdoms are all eyeing this place covetously, and regularly ask those who have mastered the secrets of 'descending to the future' to help them search for it. Once the Momentary Void Spirit Flower is born, all the eternal beings will fight and compete for it, including many peak eternal experts, and even someone like the Duke might descend to make a move."

"Eternal existence? Duke?" Lin Qing couldn't help but frown slightly.

He knew that the Fleeting Spirit Flower would definitely be born within 35 million years.

Because the test that King Guang gave him was to obtain a Fleeting Spirit Flower within 38 million years, this means that the Fleeting Spirit Flower must have been born within 38 million years.

"That's not right... If all the eternal beings are fighting over it, why would His Majesty the Light King require me to obtain the Fleeting Spirit Flower within 38 million years?"

After thinking about it carefully, Lin Qing immediately realized that something was wrong.

The difficulty of this second test is clearly not aimed at those who are eternal. Even if the King of Light sees the future and believes that he can break through to eternity within 38 million years, it is still not enough for him to be able to rival a duke-level figure within 38 million years.

If that's the case, the difficulty of this test is outrageous and clearly unreasonable.

Those who can become eternal beings can almost all learn the supreme secret arts as long as they want to learn them and are willing to join the Emperor's ranks. The proportion of those who can create combined divine skills is also quite high.

Those who can be considered top figures among eternal beings are terrifyingly powerful beings who far surpass ordinary eternal beings!
Eternal treasure sets, combined divine skills, supreme secret techniques... these are all basic configurations, and they are only one step away from becoming the ultimate existence. Their strength is unimaginable.

Not to mention those at the level of dukes.

Reaching this level within 38 million years is simply unrealistic.

"Perhaps there's more to it than meets the eye..." Lin Qing thought to himself.

"how?"

Seeing Lin Qing's unusual expression, Xing Lianhou couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that Mr. Jialin also wants to compete for that Fleeting Spirit Flower?"

"I have ideas, but I'm afraid I can't win the competition," Lin Qing said.

Xinglianhou laughed and said, "A group of peak Eternal Realm experts are indeed difficult to contend with."

He paused for a moment, then said, "However, if His Majesty the King of Light is willing to help you, the Fleeting Spirit Flower will definitely be yours."

"Why would His Majesty the King of Light fight against a group of eternal beings?" Lin Qing shook his head and said.

"It's hard to say," said Xinglianhou. "The Fleeting Spirit Flower has been born four times in history, but it was obtained by the eternal beings of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom twice. It is said that the Fleeting Spirit Flowers that were born twice were very strange. Even the Mysteries of the Future could not find their existence. It is said that the future lines where the Fleeting Spirit Flowers were located were covered up."

"Covering up the future timeline?" Lin Qing asked in surprise. "In the entire King Realm, only His Majesty the Light King is the ultimate being who cultivates the rules of the future, and he is also the ruler of a divine kingdom," said Star Refining Marquis. "Therefore, it is highly likely that His Majesty the Light King was the one who covered it up."

He sighed, "Both times the Fleeting Spirit Flower was born, each time the powerful figures from all sides rushed to the scene following their senses, they found that the Fleeting Spirit Flower had already been obtained by the people of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

So that's how it is... His Majesty the King of Light will help cover up the future timeline?
From this perspective, he can indeed pass the second test, as long as he can protect himself from the swarms of eternal powerhouses after obtaining the Fleeting Spirit Flower.

"I must cultivate the mysteries of the future to a minor level as soon as possible..." Lin Qing secretly decided.

Marquis Xinglian already had a vague guess in his heart, but he didn't say much. He only said, "In this selection trial, Mr. Jialin, as the commander of the First Army of Xinglian Army, only needs to be responsible for guarding the transit star during the war."

He stood up and smiled, "The regional war is still a million or two years away from starting, Mr. Jialin can go into seclusion to cultivate first."

Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "Does Marquis Xinglian still have any semi-finished Star Spirit Stone Marrow? Could you sell me a few drops?"

“I’ll give you ten drops,” Xing Lianhou said directly. “It can be deducted from your military merits in the future. With your strength, as long as you guard the transit star, it will be more than enough to make up for this amount of military merits.”

"Then thank you very much, Marquis Xinglian," Lin Qing said gratefully.

He had previously exchanged the 1 billion military merits that Xinglian Hou had given him in advance for a drop of Star Spirit Stone Marrow, and now, through the selection trial, he had obtained another drop of Star Spirit Stone Marrow.

However, while genuine Star Spirit Stone Marrow greatly enhances comprehension, its effects are short-lived, making it more suitable for breaking through bottlenecks.

While semi-finished Star Spirit Stone Marrow has a moderate effect on improving comprehension, its effects last a long time, making it more suitable for long-term meditation and cultivation.

With these ten drops of semi-finished Star Spirit Stone Marrow, his cultivation progress will be accelerated considerably, allowing him to integrate the mysteries of his future body into the final bottleneck sooner and break through it sooner.

"It's nothing," said Marquis Xinglian. "Do you need my help to maintain the time acceleration?"

"There's no need to trouble you, Lord Marquis."

Lin Qing immediately said, "There's no rush."

The main reason is that His Majesty the King of Guang set a time limit for him, which was calculated based on the time he had experienced.

If time is accelerated too much, the 38 million-year time limit might be reached before the Momentary Spirit Flower is even born, which would be troublesome.

Anyway, he doesn't have any emergencies at the moment, so there's no need to save this time.

"Alright." Marquis Xinglian nodded slightly. "You can cultivate peacefully on Tianxing Island. If you need anything, just come to me."

"Thank you, Lord Marquis," Lin Qing said immediately.

After Xinglianhou left, he didn't rush to go into seclusion to cultivate. Instead, he went to the Chaos Merchant Guild and sold all the Chaos Treasures he had just acquired, earning a total of more than 80 million points.

As for that drop of eternal divine blood, he kept it.

Although this drop of Eternal Divine Blood is worth 3 billion points in the Chaos Merchant Guild, he doesn't have that many to buy at the moment.

Cultivating an eternal treasure?

Even if he sold the Eternal God Blood, his current wealth would still be far from enough.

In the end, Lin Qing only bought 500 Chaos Origin Crystals from the Chaos Merchant Guild. Each Chaos Origin Crystal costs 40,000 points, so 500 crystals only cost 20 million points.

"Five hundred Chaos Origin Crystals are enough to fully charge the so-called supreme miracle of the Entropy Reverser, 'transforming illusion into reality'."

With the Chaos Merchant Guild's time-space teleportation, Lin Qing returned with five hundred Chaos Origin Crystals. He immediately put each Chaos Origin Crystal into his inner world and began to charge the newly expanded 'Transformation from Illusion to Reality' technique of the Entropy Reverser.

"I'd like to see... what this so-called transformation of illusion into reality is all about?"

……

……

In a dreamlike, illusory world, Xiao Yingbo, dressed in an elegant white robe and with an extremely ugly face, suddenly appeared.

“Lord Shadow Owl”.

The stunningly beautiful woman with pure white wings on her back looked at Xiao Yingbo and frowned, saying, "What's wrong with you? How could you fail like this? Lord Yu is very disappointed in you. You must explain this to Lord Yu properly."

Xiao Yingbo's eyes turned cold, and he said indifferently, "Marquis Tianmeng, you didn't investigate properly beforehand, yet you're blaming me?"

At this moment, Yu Gong, who had wings on his back, also appeared in the dream.

"Tell me," Yu Gong said, looking at him. "How did you fail to defeat a newly promoted high-level chaotic being?"

“That Lin Qing is a true prodigy, at least in terms of comprehension.” Xiao Yingbo said coldly, “He has only broken through for a few hundred years at most, yet he has created a perfect divine skill and an eternal treasure set. How could I possibly be his match?”

"Several hundred years?" The beautiful woman was also taken aback, then frowned and said, "Perhaps it was the Star Refining Marquis who helped him accelerate time?"

"At most a thousand times, and it's unlikely to be maintained for long." Uncle Xiaoying said coldly, "To create a perfect divine skill in just a few hundred thousand years is already terrifying enough. Add an Eternal Treasure Set and the Illusionary World Annihilation, and even if my realm is higher than his, I can't overcome such a disadvantage. How could I possibly be his opponent?"

"The Father God's feathers are gone?" Yu Gong asked.

“It’s all gone.” Uncle Xiaoying said indifferently, “Eternal divine blood, the branches of the cosmic tree, my years of accumulation… all gone.”

Yu Gong frowned.

Although the blood of the Eternal God and the branches of the Cosmic Tree are quite precious, he still had some of them, so he wasn't too heartbroken.

And now, the God of the Realm only has three feathers!

"I misjudged this time."

Xiao Yingbo said coldly, "Consider my loss a lesson. If you want to deal with Lin Qing again, don't come looking for me."

He was too lazy to say more, so he simply left the dream.

"Yu Gong."

The stunningly beautiful woman frowned. "This Lord Xiaoying is far too presumptuous."

“His status in the Kingdom of Myriad Seas is extraordinary. With the protection of the King of Myriad Seas, he naturally won’t have much respect for me.” Yu Gong said calmly. “It doesn’t matter. This failure really can’t be blamed on him.”

"but……"

Yu Gong narrowed his eyes slightly, "This Lin Qing is such a prodigy, he might become another prized disciple of the King of Light in the future. We should eliminate him as soon as possible..."

The stunningly beautiful woman couldn't help but say, "But now the King of Light must already know our intentions. With him deliberately protecting us, I'm afraid..."

“It’s alright.” Yu Gong said calmly, “As long as the Primordial God Emperor finds out, he will definitely be happy to get rid of this Lin Qing. With him to check the Light King, why not use this regional war and this Lin Qing as a fuse to directly start the Third War of the Divine Kingdoms of the King Realm?”

"The three divine kingdoms have been recuperating for nearly 10 billion years; it's time to reignite the flames of war throughout this universe."

Yu Gong narrowed his eyes and said, "Since Lin Qing is invincible below the Eternal Realm, then let the Eternal Realm beings deal with him. In the King Realm, there are quite a few beings who can suppress him with a flick of their wrists."
