Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 371 Arrives 34 Million Years Later

After the transformation of the Mind Walker's avatar ended, Lin Qing continued to immerse himself in the mystery of 'descending into the future'.

He also tried to get the Mind Walker to help him comprehend the rules of space and time, but perhaps it was the special nature of the soul of the chaotic creature, or the influence of the bloodline root in his body, that made it so slow to comprehend.

A being at the Eternal level can comprehend things at a slower pace than an ordinary, lower-level chaotic being!
This is still due to the advantage of having a main god's avatar; otherwise, it would be incredibly slow.

"No wonder it's so rare to find chaotic creatures that understand the rules of spacetime; they all rely on innate talents to master various spacetime abilities. So that's how it is..."

Lin Qing shook her head slightly and stopped insisting.

In any case, the greatest effect of the Mind Walker on him is to amplify his mental will and various mental techniques; whether he comprehends the rules is not important.

In the blink of an eye, another 110,000 years have passed in this peaceful period of seclusion.

"The mystery of the future is indeed far more complex..."

The space-time around Lin Qing seemed to be distorted like a vortex, and illusory scenes were faintly visible in the depths of the vortex.

After a while, the strange phenomenon finally dissipated.

"It took 130,000 years for this profound mystery of the future to be fully integrated, and it was only with the help of the semi-finished Star Spirit Stone Marrow."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "To truly cultivate to perfection, it would probably take at least a million years, and the final bottleneck would likely be even more difficult. Fortunately, I have the Star Spirit Stone Marrow..."

This mystery is also closely related to the two great mysteries of future vision and future body; one can only achieve perfection if the former two are successfully cultivated.

Moreover, it is considered the most unique of the ten great mysteries of spacetime rules.

It's normal that the difficulty level is so high.

"With Xiao Cheng's arrival in the future, he can finally travel to the future to search for the traces of the Fleeting Spirit Flower."

Lin Qing revealed a smile, and his eyes slowly lit up, reflecting layers of illusory future scenes. He used the mystery of 'future vision' to peer into many future lines.

The perfect future is full of mystery; by observing oneself, one can glimpse the future within 38 million years.

At the same time, a maximum of 380 observable and most probable future lines were observed.

If used on the weak, the observation range will be even greater, and more possibilities can be observed.

As for those powerful individuals who are beyond his observational limits, he finds it difficult to observe their future paths.

However, now that he has reached the level of a Mind Walker, even eternal beings are mostly within his observation range. Only terrifying figures like the Duke, whose life level is close to the ultimate existence, are beyond his observation limit.

At this moment, Lin Qing's thoughts continued to penetrate one future line after another, peering into his future self 38 million years from now.

"Within thirty-eight million, across three hundred and eighty future lines, I have achieved eternity in every single future line..."

Lin Qing silently observed his own future line, "However, from other people's perspective, the chances of me achieving an eternal future line are probably very slim..."

He can understand the situation.

For example, His Majesty the King of Light once said that the possibility of him mastering the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World was so low that it was almost negligible. Even if the King of Light could see his 3.8 million future lines, he only discovered that he had mastered the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World on one of the future lines.

This means that the probability of him mastering the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World is only one in three million eight hundred thousand!

This is because he has entropy reversers.

No matter how slim the possibility, as long as he can see the end of this future, he can anchor the future and anticipate the outcome.

Moreover, the future itself contains infinite possibilities.

Even if the future we observe now is one thing, the observation itself will influence the future and cause it to change.

Not to mention……

Everyone's observational abilities differ, and when it comes to the existence of higher-level beings, they may not even be able to see the relevant future lines. Therefore, no one dares to guarantee that the future they see will definitely happen.

Lin Qing also understood that he had exceeded the Light King's prediction because of the influence of the Entropy Reverser.

“His Majesty the King of Light has probably already noticed that I have something unusual about me.” Lin Qingwei narrowed his eyes slightly. “The existence of the Entropy Reversers is itself outside his observation range.”

He certainly seemed too special.

If you observe his future timeline at different periods, you will find that low-probability events often occur in his life.

This is clearly not normal.

"Perhaps His Majesty the King of Light already believes that there is a higher being within me, and that some of my timelines are beyond his observation range."

Lin Qing understood that this was unavoidable.

Moreover, similar cases have occurred in the realm of kings.

As for whether King Guang will find out?
If the Entropy Reverser is indeed discovered and taken away, Lin Qing understands that he has no ability to protect such a treasure.

So it's better to be open and honest.

"Others are unaware of the existence of the Entropy Reversers, nor can they observe them. When observing the future line, they naturally cannot observe the future influenced by the Entropy Reversers, until reality changes."

"But the Entropy Reversers belong to me, so... the future lines I see... also include the futures influenced by the Entropy Reversers."

Lin Qing could also deduce the reason why he could achieve eternity in each of the 380 future lines he saw.

This is the difference caused by different observation conditions.

"Yes, let's choose the future with the highest probability..."

Lin Qing immediately selected the one that was least unrealistic and closest to reality from among the 380 illusory future timelines.

Then, they chose a time point approximately 34 million years from now.

—His Majesty the King of Light set a test for him more than four million years ago. Starting from that time, the Instantaneous Spirit Flower will definitely appear within thirty-eight million years.

Now that more than four million years have passed, he only needs to travel to the future, thirty-four million years from now, to discover the information from that period.

If it had arrived earlier, the Fleeting Spirit Flower might not have been born yet.

"Advent."

Thirty-four million years after Lin Qing gazed at this future line, his eyes suddenly erupted with rings of slightly illusory swirling light.

This illusory vortex was like a passage, instantly sucking a wisp of his consciousness into it.

Then, following the invisible, illusory passage, they traveled towards a future that might not even exist, instantly traversing millions of years.

finally……

At a point 34 million years later, consciousness re-emerges in the reality of the future.

"here it is……"

Lin Qing slowly opened her eyes and observed her surroundings. "A Saint Star of the King Realm?"

It can be seen that he is currently on a sacred star in the King Realm, a massive planet with a diameter of trillions of kilometers, which is even faintly connected to the endless chaos. It is clearly a sacred star, but it is not the Star Refining Marquis's Star Refining Sacred Star.

Moreover, when the primordial power of this planet tore through the cosmic membrane and connected with the endless chaos, it seemed to resonate with him in some way.

This means that 34 million years from now, he should be the master of this sacred star.

In the Realm of Kings, anyone who achieves eternity can become the master of a sacred star.

This is not hard to deduce. Lin Qing observed the future situation and could sense a vortex originating from reality, constantly sucking at his consciousness, seemingly trying to pull him back to reality.

He understood that this attraction, rooted in reality, was a rejection of the rules.

As he gradually moves away from reality and gets closer to the limit of 38 million years, the allure of reality will grow stronger until he can no longer resist it.

"Unfortunately, I can only control this body in a basic way, and I can't access its memories..."

Lin Qing sensed this terrifying physical body belonging to the Eternal level, and could also feel the terrifying power within it that belonged to the perfected "Cosmic Calamity Body". Endless calamities surrounded him at all times, as if this physical body could destroy endless worlds.

Unfortunately, even with his level of consciousness, he couldn't fully unleash the terrifying power of this physical body.

"boom!"

Lin Qing suddenly clenched his right fist, and layers of spacetime twisted and collapsed at his fingertips. The terrifying spacetime roar was almost enough to annihilate all advanced chaotic beings.

He shook his head slightly, "I can only mobilize less than one-tenth of the power of this physical body, and I don't understand many of its mysteries..."

There's no way around it; an eternally existing physical body must be formed based on the complete rules of spacetime, and the "Cosmic Body Calamity" is even more so, as it is a terrifying secret technique that surpasses the level of supreme secret techniques.

His level of understanding is far from sufficient.

"but……"

A thought suddenly flashed through Lin Qing's mind: "It's strange. After arriving in the future, I thought that my future self would also have consciousness. Where is my consciousness in the future?"

He had no sense of any other consciousness within this body at that moment.

However, he didn't know much about the mystery of the future, nor did he know what exactly was going on.

"Never mind... let's investigate the whereabouts of the Momentary Ethereal Flower first."

Lin Qing shook her head slightly, suppressing her doubts, and immediately began to act.

……

Although he can only control his physical body in a simple way, he can still communicate with people normally and log in to the Second Universe Network.

As expected, Lin Qing soon discovered the intelligence agency he had established in the future.

This intelligence agency originated from the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom and is an organization specifically dedicated to investigating secrets and intelligence at the Eternal level; its intelligence level is very high.

"Tianji Pavilion?" When Lin Qing discovered the name of this organization, he immediately deduced its origin.

Ancient intelligence organizations on Earth often had names like Tianji Pavilion.

Moreover, His Majesty the Light King also received favors from the Lord of the Heavenly Mystery City of the Beginning Realm, so perhaps His Majesty the Light King's shadow is also involved.

"Your Highness."

The person in charge of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was also an eternal being, but he was very respectful to Lin Qing, handing him a piece of information engraved on the Cosmic Stone with both hands: "The information you want to investigate is all here, please take a look."

Lin Qing accepted the slab-shaped Cosmic Stone, understanding that it was a method to sever causality and prevent information leaks.

There are many powerful individuals who can trace cause and effect or have the ability to deduce, and can explore known information out of thin air. Alternatively, certain methods that distort reality, tamper with cognition and the memories of others may lead to errors in the intelligence.

But the secrets preserved in this cosmic stone cannot be changed or stolen.

"Call me Your Highness?"

Lin Qing muttered to himself, "That's true, by now he's probably already a disciple of His Majesty the Prince of Guang, so it's normal for him to call me Your Highness..."

He immediately began to carefully examine the intelligence document engraved on the Cosmic Stone.

Information about the Fleeting Spirit Flower is crystal clear.

[On February 7th, 35475, during the New Era of Kings, seventeen seconds after the stars of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom appeared and disappeared, the Fleeting Spirit Flower was born outside the Huaigu Sacred Star in Huaigu State of the Cangyuan Empire.]

The instant the Ethereal Flower was born, a region spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers was frozen in time. At the same time, a blurry figure appeared and took the Ethereal Flower away.

Later, through investigation by cultivators of past rules, it was discovered that this person was Lin Qing, the newly appointed disciple of the Lord of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom.

"I got it myself?"

Lin chuckled, "It really worked. It seems the Instantaneous Spirit Flower has already merged into my inner world?"

The Fleeting Spirit Flower is a treasure of the world, and its eternal existence allows it to be absorbed and integrated into one's inner world. Although his consciousness cannot explore his inner world at this moment, he can still guess this.

"So that's how it is. The New Era of Kings, February 7th, 35475, seventeen seconds after the stars of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom appeared and disappeared?"

Lin Qing silently memorized the time and place, "Outside Huaigu Sacred Star in Huaigu Prefecture of the Cangyuan Empire, it's not too far from the Frozen Empire. At the speed at which a Mind Traveler travels through the River of Time, it should take about five minutes to get there..."

The time-stopping field described in the intelligence report was clearly cast by the Mindwalker.

He himself doesn't understand the current rules; only spiritual practitioners can do it.

“Very good, it’s not far from ‘now’.”

Lin Qing nodded to herself.

The New Era of Kings refers to the new era that began after the establishment of the realm of kings.

In the real world, it is now 353 million years into the New Era of Kings.

In other words, the Instantaneous Spirit Flower will be born in just over a million years!
"His Majesty the King of Light gave me a deadline of 38 million years, so I can continue cultivating in the time acceleration. As long as I calculate the time well, it won't exceed 38 million years," Lin Qing thought to himself.

The time limit set by His Majesty the King is the time he himself has experienced, and time acceleration is naturally included in it.

After all, this test is about his understanding of the rules, and the Fleeting Spirit Flower is just a prize given to him.

He can complete the task if he can master the mysteries of the future within 38 million years.

"Go back and use time acceleration to continue your cultivation and break through as soon as possible."

A slight smile appeared on Lin Qing's lips.

He immediately looked at the person in charge of the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion and said, "Do you have any information about the Divine Kingdom War? Give me the most detailed information, from the cause to the end, as well as information about the eternal beings and ultimate beings who participated in the war. Prepare a copy of all of them for me."

The person in charge of Tianji Pavilion respectfully replied, "Yes, you mentioned it before, so naturally I have already prepared it for you."

"Did I mention that before?"

Lin Qing muttered to himself, understanding the situation perfectly.

This is probably so that it can be convenient for him to gather intelligence by descending into the future.

This will also be a standard practice for future rule practitioners.

It is said that a future cultivator once voluntarily wrote a letter, which read—

Once information about a certain treasure is discovered, it is recorded in a personal diary. Therefore, as long as that person descends into the future, he can explore all the information he has recorded in the past at any time!
For Lin Qing, the Heavenly Mystery Pavilion was probably equivalent to a diary.

"Let me see."

Lin Qing immediately began to read the intelligence report about the Third Divine Kingdom War.

As he watched, his face suddenly paled slightly, and a barely perceptible rage flashed in his eyes: "Damn it!"
