Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 374 Are you descended from the past?

Chaos prevails, but order endures.

When you hold order in your hands, the future becomes clearly visible. You can then reverse cause and effect, reap the rewards, and anticipate the future.

At this moment, the anti-entropy agent activated itself once again, and a large number of texts and symbols continuously emerged and swept across, instantly forming a new line of text:
[Discovery of a portion of the original source that can be absorbed]

"Could the treasures within this nine-feather-level planet also be those mysterious gray fragments?"

Lin Qing sensed the massive planet through spacetime perception and felt that the reaction of the anti-entropy beings was even greater than the last time, suggesting that it was probably more than just a simple matter.

Last time, it was only one out of three hundred and eighty percent of the original source.

However, these planets are actually manifestations of the sealing power of various treasures, and he cannot access them unless the seal is broken.

"The future God of the Realm will designate it as a Nine-Feather-level treasure?"

In an instant, many thoughts flashed through Lin Qing's mind.

But he remained outwardly calm, showing no change whatsoever, as if he hadn't discovered anything.

The token in his hand was of the seventh-level, while the treasure inside this planet that triggered the anti-entropy beings was of the ninth-level, which he had no way of accessing at the moment.

You can't just rob it, can you?
Not to mention that the 'True God of Calamity' was watching over it, these treasures were also sealed, so he simply didn't have the chance.

Even if he did, he wouldn't dare.

With the terrifying power of the ultimate being, it could probably kill him with just a thought, annihilating his body, soul, and consciousness.

It's alright if his body and soul are destroyed, as his consciousness can still return to reality.

Once consciousness is extinguished, then he is truly dead!

Even in the future, the destruction of consciousness is still death.

"I can only come back another time..." Lin Qing shook her head to herself.

However, he was also somewhat curious.

Those mysterious gray pebbles are one of the origins of the Entropy Reversers, restoring their ability to 'turn the unreal into the real'. Can they really use this ability to bring the unreal back to reality from the future?
If one absorbs the origin in the future and returns, will that origin still be there?
Logically, descending into the future should only involve the arrival of consciousness, and returning should only involve the return of consciousness; nothing should be taken away.

"Anyway, let's try again later..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, suppressing the many doubts in his heart, and continued to explore those few coveted seven-feather-level treasures.

He desires three of the seven-feather-level treasures most.

First, the Chaotic Domain Sea.

It is a strange ocean containing endless chaotic power, born in a mysterious chaotic land, and is said to be the origin of a universe, and even has some primordial universe inside.

Once the Eternal Treasure absorbs it, it can be nurtured to the limit of the Eternal Treasure and increase the success rate of transforming into a Pillar-level Treasure by about 10%!

Such a treasure would likely be extremely tempting even to the ultimate beings.

The Blood of the Cosmic God is also a seventh-level treasure, which can give a supreme treasure a pillar-level foundation, making it as precious as the Chaos Domain Sea.

Second, the origin of the mystical realm.

It is the source for cultivating the Eternal Enchanted Flower, and its effects are far stronger than those of the Eternal Enchanted Flower.

Ordinary Eternal Enchanted Flower can only cultivate the first level of the Great Extinction of Illusions, while the 'Eternal Enchanted Flower King' can cultivate the second level of the Great Extinction of Illusions.

To cultivate the final third level of the Great Extinction of the Illusory World, one must possess the Origin of the Mysterious Realm.

Third, a vision for the future.

It can be considered one of the most valued treasures by future rule cultivators.

It helps with the three great mysteries of future rules, and it helps with breaking through limits!

Once the mind absorbs this heart of the future—

The Mystery of Future Vision allows one to observe twice as many future lines, and the Mystery of Future Body allows one to possess twice as many future clones.

Furthermore, it allows for an additional "Descent into the Future" spell, essentially providing another consciousness to help mitigate the spacetime repulsion, thus granting two opportunities to cast "Descent into the Future" and allowing the 'cooldown time' to be calculated separately.

Without a doubt, even the ultimate beings would covet such a treasure!

Although it doesn't significantly improve strength, it's still quite effective.

"The Seal and the Peak of the Sky are also very useful treasures, but they still can't compare to the help these three have given me..."

As Lin Qing explored the sealed planets containing the three treasures, he considered which one he should choose.

The power of the Chaotic Domain Sea is undeniable. As long as the Eternal Treasure is nurtured to its limit, his strength will increase by at least dozens of times, and he will also have an additional 10% chance of transforming into a Pillar-level Treasure.

The origin of the mystical realm is also involved in the cultivation of the Great Extinction of the Illusory World, and its role is extremely significant.

The Heart of the Future is the most coveted treasure for every cultivator of the future rules.

"Fine, this will do..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and flew into one of the planets, beginning to activate the Seven-Feather-Level Future Realm Token to break the seal.

Upon seeing this, the Void God Clan's 'True God of Calamity' couldn't help but laugh: "This human race, they're quite good at choosing. There are quite a few True Gods in the clan who want this 'Heart of the Future'..."

He cultivates according to the rules of the present, so naturally he doesn't care about the future.

Although there are very few ultimate beings who can cultivate the rules of the future, there are still some among the Void God Clan, and each of these ultimate beings desires the Heart of the Future.

However, not every ultimate being possesses a Seven-Feather-level Future Realm Token. Even those who have the token must have sufficient merit. This Heart of the Future is worth 990,000 merits, making it the most precious among Seven-Feather-level treasures!
A level 7 treasure has a minimum of 100,000 merit points and a maximum of 990,000 merit points. Even a level 9 treasure has a minimum of 1 million merit points.

This shows how precious the vision for the future is.

"However, this human has cultivated the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World, yet he doesn't want the Origin of the Mystic Realm?"

The Void God Clan's 'True God of Calamity' was somewhat surprised, "For this human race, even the Chaos Domain Sea is more useful than the Heart of the Future, right..."

However, since the Father God had already said that this human could freely choose from the seven-feather-level treasures, he naturally wouldn't say anything more.

He was just a little puzzled that the Father God was willing to give up such a treasure to invite this human to become an envoy.

"The Heart of the Future, it's really the only one I can choose..."

Lin Qing silently watched as this treasure planet continuously crumbled and dissipated, inwardly sighing with admiration.

The Chaotic Domain and the Origin of the Mysterious Realm are very good.

However, there are still some Chaotic Domain Seas within the Chaos, and once he brings them back to reality, he cannot explain their origin, nor can he explain how he suddenly cultivated his natal treasure to the eternal limit.

The origin of the Mysterious Realm lies in a mysterious place called the 'Mysterious Realm' that the future God of the Realm discovered in the chaos.

The quantity of the Origin of the Mysterious Realm can be verified, and the Mysterious Realm was under the observation of the God of the Future Realm. He suddenly mastered the third level of the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World. Unless he never uses it again, how can we explain the origin of the Origin of the Mysterious Realm?
In contrast, the 'Heart of the Future' is different.

According to the introduction, the Heart of the Future is a product of the long river of time in the endless chaos, and it has appeared four times in the endless and long history.

The God of the Future absorbed the first Heart of the Future, while the 'Other Shore Ancestor', one of the three progenitors of the Star Abyss, absorbed the second Heart of the Future.

Both of these are publicly known.

It was only later that someone discovered that the future mother of the 'Mother River Clan,' an ally of Xingyuan, had also absorbed a Heart of the Future.

Is there a fourth one? A fifth one?
It is impossible to know.

If it weren't for the fact that the Mother of the Future created more future clones than the limit of 380 clones during the First Great War, no one would have known that she had actually obtained the Heart of the Future.

The Heart of the Future, which is kept by the God of the Future, is also known only to the Void God Clan of the Future Realm.

"As long as I don't create more than 380 future clones, I won't be exposed," Lin Qing thought to himself.

The Heart of the Future is essentially a gifted power that enhances consciousness and future abilities.

Unless he is killed, outsiders have no way of probing his consciousness.

and so……

At present, his best choice is this Heart of the Future.

The key is that after returning to reality, he has no worries about the future!
"Once you obtain this Heart of the Future, you can return to reality."

Lin Qing calmly activated the token to break the seal, but his mind was racing with thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel a little nervous.

In the blink of an eye, the seal on this planet was completely broken.

A strange, illusory ball of light appeared in his eyes. It seemed to exist in reality, yet it felt as if he were in a dreamlike future.

As soon as Lin Qing reached out and touched it, his consciousness immediately absorbed its power completely.

at this time--

"Human, you actually dare to accept my gift."

A calm and gentle voice suddenly rang out, as if it came from the future, yet also as an echo from the world.

In an instant, time and space seemed to stand still.

The process of integrating the Heart of the Future also came to an abrupt halt.

Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat, but he maintained his composure and said, "It is my honor to be an envoy of the future God of the Realm."

"You're lying." The Future God's voice remained gentle: "You must be from the past, right? You used the 'Descent to the Future' technique to send your consciousness into your future self?"

Lin Qing was startled.

"There's no denying it. Your consciousness is rejected by the future, and you can't even perfectly control your own body. What else could it be but a journey into the future?"

The God of the Future sighed softly, "I'm just curious... with you being so willful and unrestrained, didn't your future self resist? Why would you willingly let you act so recklessly, serving as my messenger for trillions of years for the sake of the Heart of the Future?"

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

Will my future self still rebel?

He felt no sense of resistance whatsoever, as if... his future self had no self-awareness at all.

"Don't you know?"

The God of the Future sighed softly, "For you who are from the past and use your ability to descend into the future, this spacetime may be an illusion, but that's only because your consciousness doesn't belong to the future spacetime. For us who belong to this spacetime, all of this is real."

Real?
Lin Qing suddenly understood what He meant.

Although no one had ever taught him detailed knowledge about his abilities related to the future rules, he still had some doubts—

If the present self uses a technique to descend into the future, allowing their consciousness to enter their future self, then... where does the consciousness of the future self go?
Now he finally knows the answer.

That is……

The consciousnesses of the two coexist!

It's like having two personalities.

Under normal circumstances, he could not treat the future as a virtual game, could not act recklessly, and could not do whatever he wanted.

Because for my future self, this time and space is the present, the real world!
If your past self has done something irreversible, your past self can still bring back consciousness, but in the real world, it leaves behind a mess!

Therefore, unless the two consciousnesses reach a consensus, the future self, as the main consciousness, will be unable to do anything as long as it resists.

"What's going on? I didn't sense any resistance from my future self at all..."

For a moment, Lin Qing's heart was filled with turmoil.

Perhaps this is common knowledge about the coming of the future, and no one has ever taught him these things, so he has no idea that such a thing exists.

Or perhaps, this doesn't need to be taught at all?

Once the future arrives, shouldn't there inherently be two consciousnesses?
Lin Qing forcibly suppressed the shock in his heart and said calmly, "It is my honor to be your envoy, such a great being as the Future God of the World. I am willing to do so."

"I don't think you're that kind of person."

The God of the Future said softly, "I have observed your future timeline. It was almost impossible for you to willingly become my messenger. Now you have suddenly changed your mind?"

Lin Qing paused for a moment, then asked, "Did the Future God see my future?"

The God of the Future was silent for a moment before saying, "It is precisely because I saw your future that this is the thing I cannot understand the most."

"What happened?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

The God of the Future did not speak.

only……

The frozen spacetime has returned to normal, and the power of the Heart of the Future continues to flow into Lin Qing's soul consciousness.

"What exactly does that mean?"

As Lin Qing absorbed the Heart of the Future, he pondered deeply in his mind.

Soon, Lin Qing completely absorbed the Heart of the Future.

At this moment, the 'True God of Calamity' flew to Lin Qing's side, took out a pure black prismatic crystal, and said, "Now that you have obtained the treasure, according to the agreement, you will be the messenger of the Great Father God from now on."

He handed the pure black prismatic crystal in his hand to Lin Qing and said, "Use this 'True Self Oath Stone' to make a vow, swearing to be the Father God's messenger for ten trillion years. If you break this vow, no matter where you are, whether you are the ultimate being or one of the other two World Gods, you will suffer a backlash and die on the spot."

"The True Self Oath Stone?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but glance at it, realizing that this True Self Oath Stone was a five-feather level treasure and extremely precious. Most ultimate beings couldn't produce such a True Self Oath Stone.

Ultimate existence is no longer bound by the second cosmic web.

But the True Self Oath Stone is different. Once an oath is taken, even beings like the World God cannot resist it—because it is suicide.

What will happen?

Lin Qing reached out and took the True Self Oath Stone, looked at it silently, and sighed inwardly.

Then, a thought struck him:
"The supreme miracle of 'turning illusion into reality' has led me to choose to bring back the 'Heart of the Future'."

At the same time, he had already given up resisting the mysterious pull of reality, letting this space and time repel and expel his consciousness.

In an instant, Lin Qing felt the world before her suddenly go dark, time and space reverse completely, and she instantly lost consciousness.

……

Inside the future world's treasure vault, the True God of Calamity stared blankly at Lin Qing, who was dissipating into specks of light, somewhat unable to comprehend it.

"How...how could he..."

The True God of Calamity couldn't help but look up at the void, "Great Father God, how come the human race's consciousness has suddenly vanished?"

The future God of the Realm remained silent for a very long time before slowly speaking:

"This is not annihilation, but a return to oneness..."
