Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 370 Metamorphosis into Eternity!

I had long heard that Star Spirit Stone Marrow could amazingly enhance comprehension and spirituality, although the effect was short-lived, it was very suitable for breaking through bottlenecks.

This was also Lin Qing's first time consuming genuine Star Spirit Stone Marrow, and immediately his Black Flame clone consumed a drop of it.

As the Star Spirit Stone marrow dissolved into specks of light and vanished into his soul, a mysterious stream of clear energy suddenly burst forth from the depths of his soul. Lin Qing immediately felt his soul become many times clearer, his thoughts became exceptionally active, and the spacetime rules that were previously difficult to understand became a thousand times clearer.

However, he had also heard that this state could only be maintained for a very short time, at most a few hours.

"Such a powerful effect!"

Lin Qing was secretly surprised and immediately began to try to perfect the last flaw in the mysteries of the future body's spacetime.

He had already anticipated this profound mystery of time, but integrating it into the rules of space still required deduction and experimentation. Now, in this astonishing state of comprehension, only a moment had passed—

"So that's how it is... This is the future self?"

A perfect and mysterious spacetime emerged in his mind, and the illusory spacetime around him rippled slightly with his will.

To gain a basic understanding of the mysteries of the future body, one must enter the future timeline; only by achieving a minor mastery of the future body can one change the future.

The perfection of the future body means possessing a 'future clone,' which is the same as the mystery of the past body in the past rules. It is a clone formed by another self in different time and space.

Whether it's for taking someone's place or for increasing strength, this mystery is extremely powerful, and at most, up to 380 future clones can exist simultaneously!
the most important is--

Only after perfecting the two great mysteries of future vision and future body can one truly delve into the mystery of 'descending into the future'.

"Continue to integrate and usher in the future."

Lin Qing didn't dare waste any time and continued to comprehend the mysteries of the future, trying his best to integrate them into the rules of space.

However, breaking through the bottleneck, that crucial finishing touch, requires such a high level of comprehension; normal integration is an extremely long and complicated process.

Even if one's comprehension increases a thousandfold, one won't make much progress in just a few hours.

After the effects of the Star Spirit Stone Marrow wore off, although the progress in understanding the mysteries of the future was small, Lin Qing still smiled slightly when she opened her eyes: "It went pretty smoothly..."

Normally, even a single drop of Star Spirit Stone Marrow would hardly guarantee the perfection of a spacetime mystery.

But he is a supreme god, has great talent in understanding future rules, and has various rare treasures as references, which is why he was able to succeed so smoothly.

"The inner world, transformation."

With a thought, Lin Qing immediately integrated the newly mastered mystery of spacetime into the rules of his inner world. With the two mysteries of spacetime coexisting, the rules of his inner world instantly became even more complex and profound.

Amidst the roar, the inner world also began to frantically absorb the energy of the Chaos Origin Crystal and undergo transformation.

The sky is higher, the earth is thicker, and the four corners of the earth are farther away.

The world continues to expand as a result.

In the blink of an eye, the diameter of the inner world more than doubled, the area of ​​the world membrane increased several times, and the efficiency of absorbing or transporting energy naturally increased several times.

The expansion of the inner world signifies that the chaotic beings are becoming stronger!
At this moment, Lin Qing was several times stronger than before, both in terms of strength and willpower; this was an improvement in his foundation.

"The only thing missing is the ability to unleash the mysteries of the future, which will bring us to the peak of the Chaos Being realm."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "Once the mysteries of the three future timelines are complete, the next step is overall fusion... However, the ultimate bottleneck of the future rules shouldn't be able to stop me..."

He couldn't directly access the mysteries of space and time; he had to integrate the mysteries of time into the rules of space on his own because his level of understanding was insufficient.

Even if the Supreme God can sense the spacetime rules of the universe at the closest distance, what he senses is the universe's operating rules, which are a fusion of the past, present, and future spacetime rules. Such perfect and extremely complex rules are naturally impossible for him to see the whole future rules directly. He can only slowly filter out the appropriate spacetime mysteries.

However, to anticipate the outcome, one must first see the target result and understand the supporting theory.

He doesn't even know what the future rules are, so naturally he can't anticipate them.

but……

Once you have mastered all three major temporal mysteries of the future rules, and only need to form a whole, you will have already taken in the full picture of the future rules.

At that time, he will be able to clearly discern the future rules from the rules of spacetime in the universe.

In this way, the target outcome is clearly visible, and even if the overall integration is difficult, he can make advance payments.

"Only the future is yet to arrive..."

Lin Qing was filled with anticipation, thinking, "As long as this final mystery of spacetime is successfully solved, I can directly achieve eternity!"

For other top-tier experts, the various mysteries of space and time are merely minor bottlenecks; only the final overall fusion is the true challenge.

All he needs to do is break through these minor bottlenecks.

"However, there are only 800,000 to 900,000 years left before the start of the inter-state war."

Lin Qing was also somewhat uncertain, "The Mystery of Descending into the Future is the most complex of the three great mysteries, and I don't know if I'll have enough time to break through it..."

After a moment's thought, he made a decision: "Once I've mastered the Mysteries of Descending into the Future and determined when the Fleeting Spirit Flower will appear, I'll see if I need to accelerate time."

If the mystery of 'descending into the future' is only the beginning, even if one's consciousness descends into one's future self, one cannot control that future self; it's like watching a movie from a first-person perspective.

After achieving a minor level of mastery in 'Descending into the Future', one can easily control their future self.

It's like experiencing a game from a first-person perspective.

What if it's perfect?

That would be a truly perfect arrival in the future, not just about controlling your future self, but also about gaining your future self's memories!

For example, if the secret technique you are currently trying to comprehend is too difficult, you can find a future timeline where you have already mastered the technique, then directly travel to the future, obtain the memories, and thus 'gain something for nothing'!

This is what makes future rule cultivators truly terrifying.

Of course, the arrival in the future cannot be too far away. The time of arrival plus the time experienced in the future will be at most 38 million years longer than now. Any further than that won't work.

Moreover, after arriving in the future, one will be rejected by the rules of spacetime. Each arrival requires traversing a certain amount of the future before one can arrive again.

"As long as I achieve enough to descend into the future, I can control my future self and search for accurate information about the Fleeting Spirit Flower..." Lin Qing thought to himself.

Immediately, the Black Flame clone continued to consume the semi-finished Star Spirit Stone Marrow, comprehending the most profound and mysterious 'Descending into the Future'.

Lin Qing's main body, on the other hand, was preparing to cultivate a new clone, the 'Mind Walker'.

"Eight hundred thousand years have passed, and there has been no progress..."

Lin Qing silently sensed the subtle changes that the Mind Walker's clone had undergone over 800,000 years, and couldn't help but shake his head slightly.

This spiritual traveler, as described in the bloodline inheritance memories, normally takes about two billion years to grow from birth to eternity.

Actually, this is already very fast. The vast majority of eternal beings in the King Realm are much older than the King Realm itself, and it is very rare for someone to achieve eternity in just 30 billion years.

Not to mention that two billion years can achieve eternity.

"The Mindwalker avatar has just entered the level of a higher chaotic being. If it continues to grow normally, it will probably take another 1.8 billion years to reach the eternal level, and another 8 billion years to reach its limit, comparable to the peak of the eternal level..."

Lin Qing couldn't help but shake her head slightly.

Perhaps 1.8 billion years is already an astonishingly long time for others.

But he only lived for a few million years?
Waiting for 1.8 billion years is far too long; by then, our homeland will be facing annihilation.

"We can only spend more money to try and shorten the growth process of the spiritual practitioner..."

Lin Qing shook her head inwardly with a hint of helplessness.

In the inherited memories of the spiritual walkers, there are also various ways to shorten the growth process—such as devouring some special chaotic treasures.

But chaotic beings are the darlings of endless chaos, and their growth rate is already very fast, so the cost of shortening it would naturally be extremely high.

"I still have over 60 million points in the Chaos Trading Company..."

Lin Qing calculated in his mind, "To allow a Mind Walker to grow to the limit of a high-level chaotic being in a short period of time, it would probably cost around seven or eight million points..."

The limit for even a high-level chaotic being would require seven to eight million points!
It's important to understand that many peak-level Chaos beings don't even have a net worth of less than 100 million units of cosmic sand. If they buy Chaos materials and then exchange them for Chaos Merchant Points, they'd probably only get a few hundred thousand points.

The price that spiritual practitioners pay to transform into eternity in a short period of time is even more astonishing!

The most expensive method allows a Mind Walker to grow directly to their limit, but this requires consuming a treasure called 'Water of Divine Resentment,' which does indeed occasionally appear in the Chaos Merchant Guild.

But just one drop is worth as much as 5 billion points!
A spiritual practitioner must consume six drops to reach their limit.

The cheapest method is to consume ninety-nine 'Dream Fruits', which allows a Spirit Walker to barely enter the early stages of maturity in the Eternal Realm.

But a single Dream of Heaven is worth 24 million points in the Chaos Merchant Guild!

Ninety-nine, that's close to 2.4 billion points!

For most eternal beings, being able to come up with a few hundred million points in the Chaos Merchant Guild is already considered very wealthy. The price of over two billion points is enough to make many eternal beings faint.

"Never mind, we still have to spend the money we need to spend."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and made a tough decision. He took out the drop of Eternal Divine Blood that he had originally intended to keep to see how things went and sold it to the Chaos Merchant Guild, exchanging it for 3 billion points on the spot.

This only cost 2.4 billion points to buy 99 'Dream Heavenly Fruits'.

“A spiritual practitioner who has entered the mature, eternal stage, even in the early stages of maturity, possesses a spiritual will that is more powerful than that of an ordinary eternally existing being!”

Lin Qing took a deep breath, "The powerful will of the Mind Walker, combined with the Great Annihilation of the Illusory World, will be one of my trump cards..."

The upcoming inter-state war could potentially ignite a war within the divine kingdom, which is of utmost importance.

If we treat this as just an ordinary regional war with a group of advanced chaotic beings as the main force, then we'll be in big trouble.

At the very least, we should consider the hypothetical enemy as an eternal entity.

It cannot even be a normal, eternal existence.

Therefore, only after transforming into eternity could he, as a mind-walker avatar of a chaotic being, possess such confidence.

……

"Ninety-nine Dream Realms are consumed one every hundred years, and then the dreamer sleeps for another hundred years. After about 20,000 years, the spiritual traveler can enter the mature stage and transform into eternity."

Following the experience from his inherited memories, Lin Qing began to have his Mind Walker clone devour the Dream Heavenly Fruits one by one.

This spiritual traveler was just entering his growth period, equivalent to a teenager in the human world.

Unfortunately, mind travelers cannot cultivate humanity's supreme secret arts, nor can they obtain human divine duties and skills; they rely entirely on their own innate secret arts.

"Chichi-"

The slightly illusory mist devoured the equally illusory, yet brain-like fruits—Dream Fruits—and then the mist seemed to boil and surge violently, sometimes expanding and sometimes contracting. The illusory world hidden within it was constantly changing, expanding at an astonishing speed.

And the aura of the spiritual practitioner is also rising at a perceptible speed.

If it were a normal metamorphosis, this process would take at least one or two billion years. To shorten it to just 20,000 years, the power of the Dream Realm is self-evident.

Soon, 20,000 years had passed.

The Mind Walker's clone also underwent a transformation over a period of 20,000 years at such an astonishing speed.

Finally, on this day—

"boom!"

After devouring the ninety-ninth Dream Heavenly Fruit, the aura of the Mind Walker clone subsided slightly, then suddenly surged with a terrifying burst, as if it had broken through some kind of boundary.

The next moment, the aura of the spiritual traveler erupted completely, and a virtual yet complete spiritual world took shape within his body.

A terrifying aura surged in all directions, causing the rules of spacetime to freeze and distort.

A vast and eternal sense of tranquility permeates the air.

At this moment... the spiritual traveler has entered the eternal stage, or rather, entered the mature stage.

"This is the true chaotic being?"

Lin Qing was secretly shocked. "He doesn't understand the rules of spacetime at all. His body and inner world naturally contain the complete rules of spacetime. He can easily display the four great mysteries of the rules of the present, and even the mystery of the past view of the rules of the past and the mystery of the future body of the rules of the future!"

Chaotic beings almost never understand the rules of spacetime; they can perform all sorts of spacetime mysteries simply by relying on their talents.

Moreover, humans can hardly master two spacetime rules at the same time when they comprehend spacetime rules, but for chaotic creatures, this is just an innate talent of life, and it is normal for them to master three spacetime rules at the same time!
Spiritual travelers are an example of this.

Its body and the illusory world within it not only contain complete present rules, but also perfect mysteries of past vision and future body!

of course……

Chaotic beings can only rely on their innate ability to manipulate time, but they do not understand its essence or the mysteries of its rules, so they are destined to be unable to create a universe.

"No matter what... I can now use the full rules of the present."

Lin Qing sensed the terrifying power of the Mind Walker's clone and couldn't help but smile. "Moreover, it possesses all sorts of bizarre mental techniques. Even if the Mind Walker isn't skilled in combat, without the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World, it can still toy with ordinary eternal beings at will..."
