Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 375 Transformation of Consciousness
"came back."

Lin Qing opened her eyes and found herself still on Tianxing Island of Xinglian Sacred Star, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Immediately, he sensed himself and discovered that the power of the Heart of the Future had indeed appeared deep within his soul, completely merging with him and lying dormant.

"Turning the unreal into the real, it was indeed a success."

A smile appeared on Lin Qing's lips. "They actually brought the Heart of the Future back from the future!"

A supreme miracle, worthy of its name.

Now he knows that the future timeline is also real, just another timeline, like an extended parallel universe. The fact that the anti-entropy person can turn the virtual into the real is truly a miracle!
"When the future arrives, time in reality is indeed relatively still..."

Lin Qing immediately noticed this.

During the time he descended into the future, time in the present did not change at all, as if it had frozen at the moment of his arrival in the future.

During this time, it was as if he had entered another parallel space.

This arrival in the future spans over 34 million years, and the spacetime repulsion will also take the same amount of time to disappear, so it will also take over 34 million years before it can be used.

"Present time and space, future time and space..."

Lin Qing calmed down and recalled her feelings before returning, and couldn't help but frown slightly: "Where did my consciousness go in the future timeline?"

Since arriving in the future, he has not sensed the existence of another consciousness.

It was as if the future version of myself had no consciousness at all.

But how can a living organism not have consciousness?
Even rock life and mechanical life possess self-awareness, which is fundamental to life.

"self conscious……"

Lin Qing tried to sense his own consciousness, but suddenly paused, "Huh? Something's not right! My consciousness strength!"

He hadn't felt it at first, but when he carefully sensed space and time, he discovered that his ability to sense space and time was much stronger than before!

His physical body and soul remained unchanged, and the Heart of the Future did not enhance his perception.

The only explanation is the intensity of consciousness.

His level of consciousness has increased!
"what happened?"

Lin Qing was somewhat surprised and puzzled, "How could my consciousness suddenly become stronger?"

Consciousness is fundamental, more important than the soul and body, and also more difficult to transform.

There are countless treasures that can transform and strengthen the physical body, but treasures that can transform and strengthen the soul are extremely rare.

As for transforming and enhancing consciousness?
In theory, there is only one way for consciousness to transform—that is, to transform along with the transformation of life level!
"The strength of my consciousness in this main body is actually stronger than that of the Mind Walker's clone. This is definitely a consciousness strength at the Eternal level..."

Lin Qing suddenly had a thought, "Could it be related to this arrival in the future?"

He narrowed his eyes slightly. "I never discovered my future self's consciousness from beginning to end, but after returning from the future, my consciousness strength had just transformed to the eternal level?"

He already had a guess in his mind.

In the future, he will have just achieved eternity, and the Mind Walker's avatar will have just entered maturity. The intensity of their consciousness will be almost the same.

"Could it be that... the consciousness of my future self has merged with my present self?"

Thinking about this, Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a little incredulous.

As beings of chaos, their consciousness, will, soul, and physical body have become the world consciousness, world will, world heart, and world divine body of their inner world. If they want to transform and strengthen themselves, their inner world must transform first.

Even if the Mind Walker's avatar possesses the consciousness strength of the Eternal Realm, the consciousness strength of his main body is still only at the level of a high-level chaotic being.

And after he returned from the future, his consciousness strength actually increased to the eternal level?

It's incredible.

"Is it because of the transformation of the illusory into the real?"

Lin Qing secretly guessed, "But from the moment I arrived in the future, I never sensed the existence of another consciousness. Perhaps we had already merged back then..."

Regardless, this is indeed a real benefit.

And it's a huge benefit!

The enhancement of consciousness not only improves the ability to sense and manipulate the space-time domain, but more importantly, it also transforms the will to the level of eternity!
It's important to understand that the enhanced sensory capabilities and strengthened spatial domain are already quite useful.

With an incredibly powerful consciousness, it becomes easy to sense the rules of spacetime and the primordial energy of chaos, making cultivation much simpler!
This is even more evident in the realm of spacetime. The stronger one's own spacetime domain, the stronger one's influence on others through manipulating spacetime, and the less one is affected by spacetime.

in other words--

What used to be able to slow down the time flow in his space-time by one percent might not even be able to slow down the time flow in his space-time now!
What could have frozen time for him in an instant is no longer able to freeze his time!
"Faced with an eternal being, I no longer need to worry about being manipulated and toyed with by the other party due to the vast difference in our realms."

Lin Qing smiled slightly.

If he hadn't had the help of his Mind Walker clone, he would have been completely overwhelmed by the Eternal Being in terms of time and space. The opponent could easily accelerate time by hundreds of times and even slow down or freeze the time he was in. In that case, the battle would easily have turned into a one-sided suppression of him.

He could only rely on the Eternal Treasure to tough it out and protect himself.

But it’s different now!

He and the Eternal Being share the same level of consciousness strength, and their spacetime domains are equally powerful. In addition, the Eternal Treasure suppresses spacetime, making it much more difficult for the other party to influence his spacetime!
"Most importantly... my mental will has also reached the eternal level!" Lin Qing couldn't help but feel excited.

Consciousness and will are inherently closely related.

If self-consciousness is what makes a person, then willpower is what makes a person strong!
Normally, chaotic beings first master the mysteries of space and time, and drive the transformation of their inner world before their consciousness, soul, and divine body can transform accordingly.

While his inner world had not yet transformed, his consciousness had transformed first!

"My own will, coupled with the astonishing amplification of will by the Mind Walker, has greatly increased the power of the Illusionary World Annihilation..."

Lin Qing nodded to himself, "I didn't expect that descending into the future would have such benefits. Could it be brought about by the Entropy Reversers? However, the mystery of descending into the future is already extremely mysterious, and coupled with the special nature of the Entropy Reversers, it's no wonder that such changes have occurred..."

The mystery of descending into the future can be considered the most difficult of the ten mysteries of spacetime!
Countless future rule cultivators are stuck at the hurdle of arriving in the future.

Once it's done, the benefits will be numerous.

By finding the future timeline with the highest achievement and descending into a future timeline 38 million years in the future, one can read memories and learn all the mysteries.

If eternity can be achieved within 38 million years, then reading future memories will reveal the complete rules of the future!

Once you return, you will achieve eternity!

Of course, after mastering the three perfect mysteries, the most difficult hurdle is to integrate them into a complete set of spacetime rules.

Only Lin Qing, being an entropy reverser, could so easily achieve eternity; otherwise, normal advanced chaotic beings would hardly find a future path to achieve eternity.

Even if such a future path existed, the probability of it occurring among countless future paths would be extremely small. Future vision, or the ability to travel to the future, can only choose one of the 380 most likely future paths, completely obscuring those tiny, indistinct ones.

"Hmm... I'll just wait for the future to come to a perfect conclusion."

Lin Qing nodded to himself, "Once I reach the perfect state of the future, I'll use the Entropy Reversal to break through, and then I'll descend into the future again. At that time, I can directly read future memories and learn divine skills containing complete spacetime rules, or even more advanced methods of creation..."

In fact, he could use Descent into the Future again right now.

The Heart of the Future can see twice as many future lines, create twice as many future clones, and can also use the Descent into the Future once more.

However, there is only one chance to transform the virtual into the real, and since the memories cannot be read, there is no point in descending into the future again. It would be better to wait until the breakthrough is achieved before descending.

At that time, we will surely be able to find a better future path!

"The war is still 600,000 to 700,000 years away, so we must act quickly."

Lin Qing glanced at the Mind Walker beside him, and immediately immersed himself and the Black Flame Avatar in the ocean of spacetime rules.

Originally, with only a few hundred thousand years to pass, comprehending the mysteries of the future, which were more than ten times more difficult, he wasn't even confident of reaching the bottleneck of perfection in cultivation. But now, with the surge in his consciousness strength, the difficulty has suddenly decreased a lot.

It would take hundreds of thousands of years to reach the bottleneck of perfection.

……

In the blink of an eye, hundreds of thousands of years have passed.

There are only a little over ten thousand years left before the start of the inter-state war.

"pity……"

Lin Qing sighed with some regret, "It's still just a little bit short. This mystery of descending into the future is indeed the most difficult mystery of spacetime. I made full preparations and only used the Star Spirit Stone Essence at the last minute, but it's still just a little bit short..."

The more powerful and wondrous the mysteries of space and time, the more difficult they are to comprehend.

The mysteries of descending into the future are so extraordinary, even more outrageous than the time reversal of current rules or the descent of past rules into the past. It's no wonder that it's so difficult.

"If I could get a few more drops of Star Spirit Stone Marrow in one go, I might be able to break through..."

Lin Qingwei shook her head slightly, "Unfortunately, this Star Spirit Stone Marrow cannot be taken continuously."

The Star Spirit Stone Marrow has an extremely exaggerated effect on improving comprehension and talent, but it also comes at a price; every drop ingested will cause some hidden damage to the soul.

Therefore, it is necessary to wait millions of years before taking a single drop.

The last time Lin Qing consumed Star Spirit Stone Marrow, it took him less than a million years to break through the bottleneck of his future body. However, he had his Mind Walker clone help accelerate the time for a period of time, and only consumed this second drop of Star Spirit Stone Marrow after his soul recovered.

Unfortunately, they still couldn't break through the bottleneck.

"If I continue in seclusion and rely solely on accumulating experience over time, it will take at least tens of millions of years. Perhaps I won't even break through by the time the 38 million year limit is up, then that would be troublesome..."

Lin Qing thought to herself, "I should continue collecting rare treasures that contain the mysteries of the future; they might provide some inspiration."

Treasures containing the mysteries of future rules are already rare, and those containing the mysteries of the future are even rarer.

Over the course of more than a million years, he had his other clones help him collect such rare treasures, but unfortunately, he only managed to collect six.

"Hmm... First, recover from the soul damage. After accumulating enough military merits, then exchange a drop of Star Spirit Stone Marrow with Star Refining Marquis."

Lin Qing immediately had her Mind Walker clone help accelerate time and begin healing her damaged soul.

The interstate war is still more than 10,000 years away from starting. As long as the Mind Walker can maintain time acceleration by several hundred times, the soul will recover quickly.

In the blink of an eye, thousands of years have passed in reality, and Lin Qing's soul damage has also recovered.

……

"Lin Qing, you've emerged from seclusion?"

On the rooftop of the Star Refining Army headquarters building, Star Refining Marquis, dressed in a black uniform, stood at the edge of the rooftop, turned to look at Lin Qing, and forced a smile.

"Yes, I just came out of quarantine." Lin nodded.

"Has there been any progress?" Marquis Xinglian asked with concern.

“There has been some progress, but I’ve hit a bottleneck,” Lin Qing said. “Does Marquis Xinglian have any more Star Spirit Stone Marrow? I can exchange it for other treasures.”

“This… there are still three drops of Star Spirit Stone Marrow, but I’ve already put them into the Star Refining Army’s merit system.” Star Refining Marquis said apologetically, “I thought the war would only start a little over a million years from now, and Lin Qing, you have enough with two drops of Star Spirit Stone Marrow, so…”

"It's alright, I'll exchange them with military merits later." Lin Qing immediately shook his head.

Marquis Xinglian had already been good enough to him, so naturally he couldn't force him to take out the three drops of Star Spirit Stone Marrow that had already been placed in the military merit system and give them to him.

The most important aspects of the military merit system are fairness and public acceptance!

If it is discovered that someone can obtain treasures by ignoring the merit system of military merit, how many people will believe in such a system?
After all, many advanced chaotic beings are willing to obey orders and follow Xinglian Hou for military merit and the treasures within the military merit system established by Xinglian Hou. Winning over the masses is very important.

Marquis Xinglian had already advanced him 1 billion military merits, which was actually a bit too biased.

Do you still want Marquis Xinglian to break the mechanism of the military merit system?
Even if Lin Qing begged Xing Lianhou to succeed, he wouldn't do it.

"Two billion military merits, not difficult to achieve..."

Lin Qing wasn't in a hurry, "If we're lucky, we can gather them up quickly..."

He knew what would happen in the future and was aware of the progress of the war. With both sides in the war of the divine kingdoms having future rule cultivators, intelligence alone could not determine the outcome; it was more about comparing the hard power of both sides!
This is the most brilliant, open strategy.

"The Marquis seems to be in a bad mood?" Lin Qing suddenly asked. "Is it because of the war?"

Xinglianhou sighed and said, "That's true. I've always wanted to ask a cultivator of future rules to descend to the future to obtain intelligence on this war for me, but for some reason, none of them have agreed. Every single one of them has refused me."

He shook his head slightly, "In previous interstate wars, with intelligence available, even if the other side also had intelligence, at least we could know the combat strength of both sides, but this time..."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "It's normal that the Marquis can't find anyone. Among the future rule cultivators in the entire Frozen Empire, those who have reached the minor level of the mysteries of the future are even rarer than eternal beings. Moreover, this war is different from the past. These people need to constantly descend into the future to update intelligence based on the changes in the future. They can't afford to waste any opportunities."

"What?" Marquis Xinglian was taken aback.

"However, I already know some information about this interstate war."

Lin Qing said, "I can give a copy to the Marquis, but it's hard to say how useful it will be."

"Do you have intelligence on the future of this war?"

Marquis Xinglian was overjoyed, and then couldn't help but say, "No wonder I always felt that this war was unusual. In the future... will Xinglian Prefecture win or lose this war?"

"Won."

Lin Qing looked at him and said, "But you, Lord Marquis, are dead."
