Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 389 Half-Step to the Ultimate!

"The God of No Cause wants you to do him a favor."

King Guang said, "He once borrowed a Chaos Treasure from the Beginning Realm called the 'Annals of Spring and Autumn.' He knows that you are the inheritor of the Beginning Realm and has seen your potential. He knows that after you achieve the ultimate, you may come to him to take back this Chaos Treasure. Therefore, his condition is... that the Annals of Spring and Autumn cannot be taken back before you establish your divine kingdom."

"A Chaotic Treasure, the Annals of Spring and Autumn?" Lin Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

The various rare treasures he had collected before were rare treasures born in the universe, created in accordance with the rules of the universe. Although they possessed various special supernatural powers, they were only useful within the universe.

Chaotic treasures, on the other hand, are rare treasures born from chaos. They can be used anywhere and are infinitely more precious.

Even the most ordinary Chaos Treasures are only affordable to those that exist eternally.

Those precious Chaos Treasures are something even the ruler of the God Kingdom desires immensely.

The 'Chronicle of Names' is undoubtedly such a rare and extraordinary treasure.

It is said that in the ancient universe, before the establishment of a divine system and the existence of cosmic treasures, the external objects that could enhance one's strength were the Chaos Treasures.

"If you are willing, the Lord of No Cause will agree to teach you the 'No Cause, No Effect'."

King Guang said, "In addition, the God of No Cause can also accept your fellow villager 'Qi Lingxiao' as his personal disciple."

"Qi Lingxiao?" Lin Qing was slightly taken aback. "The God of No Cause wants to take Master Qi as his disciple?"

"That old thief is very cunning." King Guang chuckled. "I think this old thief had already seen the special nature of your fellow villager and wanted to take him as a disciple. He's just going with the flow now."

"Master Qi is quite special." Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Does Master Qi know anything about his situation?"

He also witnessed Master Qi's growth and miracles all the way.

Simply put, Qi Lingxiao is a born prodigy. As his strength grows, so does his luck. He can obtain the inheritance of a level three civilization even by taking risks, which is simply unbelievable.

“I don’t know the details.”

King Guang nodded slightly and said, "But he seems to have been favored by the endless chaos."

"A preference for endless chaos?" Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

“Normally, the endless chaos does not favor any living being. We, who are born in the universe, are at most favored by the will of the universe, so luck has its limits.”

King Guang said, "But in the endless chaos, there are always some special exceptions. For example, some extremely rare chaotic creatures are born to be favored by the endless chaos. Their luck is extremely terrible. Even in their weak infancy, they cannot be killed by ultimate beings. Chaos lords will take them very seriously."

Lin Qing was taken aback.

Even in infancy, one cannot kill the ultimate being?

When he was in the Void Sea, he also heard about some people who were born with great fortune. Even if they encountered the top experts of the Void Sea wiping out their families, they would still escape alive due to various coincidences.

But what level is ultimate existence?
With a flick of the finger, the world can be created; with a single thought, the world can be destroyed. Possessing boundless power like a universe within its body, how could such a great being be unable to be killed by mere coincidence?

It's simply unbelievable.

"But Qi Lingxiao is human."

Lin Qing couldn't help but say, "I've known him since the time of planetary civilization. He was very lucky from the beginning and never had a clone of such a chaotic creature."

“Your fellow villager must be a reincarnated being,” King Guang said softly. “Before reincarnation, he was at least an eternal being of extremely high status in a certain civilization, and more likely an ultimate being. Perhaps… he discovered that the Primordial Realm was reviving, so he abandoned everything and reincarnated into the newly evolved Primordial Realm, where a planetary civilization had just emerged?”

Lin Qing understood her master's meaning.

Logically, eternal and ultimate beings cannot be reincarnated into civilizations within the main universe, but the Mountain and Sea Realm, or rather Earth, is different.

Earth is essentially a remnant of the original essence after the destruction of the Primordial Realm, which is why there are Primordial Realm ruins on Earth.

It can be said that Earth is the origin of new life.

Therefore, although the Origin Realm was destroyed, there were many people from other realms who had been reincarnated in the Origin Realm. They all left traces in the origin of the Origin Realm and were equivalent to natives of the Origin Realm. Naturally, they could also be reincarnated back to the newly reborn Origin Realm.

Just like the King of Light, who was reborn into the Initial Realm, achieved the ultimate goal, and then gave up everything to be reborn back into his home civilization in the main universe.

“However, Master Qi has no memory of it,” Lin Qing said.

As long as one possesses the will to reach the True Transformation level, one should theoretically be able to retain memories upon reincarnation.

“It is somewhat strange.” King Guang nodded. “However, since he was willing to give up everything and reincarnate into the extremely weak New Beginning Realm, perhaps his relationship with the Beginning Realm is extraordinary.”

Lin Qing nodded slowly and said, "Didn't Master give up everything, including the ultimate position, for the sake of his hometown?"

To achieve the ultimate goal, besides one's own basic conditions, the most important thing is the ultimate position bestowed by the endless chaos!

This is the opportunity for a breakthrough.

This is also the key reason why ultimate beings dare not reincarnate and rebuild their lives. Once they give up their ultimate position, who knows if they will have the chance to obtain a new ultimate position after reincarnation?

"I only do this because I am confident that I will obtain a new ultimate position."

King Guang smiled and said, "Although the endless chaos will limit the number of ultimate positions, the number of ultimate beings who are the rules of the future is too small. Therefore, as long as we, the ultimate beings who cultivate the rules of the future, master the method of creating the universe and meet the conditions, have a pretty high probability of obtaining the ultimate position."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

So that’s it?
No wonder Master was able to achieve the ultimate cultivation in just 1.8 billion years.

"The God of No Cause should also be able to see the special nature of your fellow villager."

King Guang said, "This old thief is very shrewd. He can accept such an extraordinary disciple and use the Spring and Autumn Annals for a longer period of time. Why wouldn't he be willing?"

"Then what does Master think we should do?" Lin Qing asked sincerely.

“Agree to his request,” said King Guang. “The Lord of No Cause and I are both masters of divine kingdoms who cultivate the rules of the future. In the Abyss Realm, his status is only lower than that of the Lord of the Abyss Realm Universe, and he is in no way inferior to those masters of dual-time-space divine kingdoms. It’s not bad that your fellow villager can become his disciple.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "Disciple will obey Master."

"Don't be hasty." King Guang laughed. "Now that I've seen through it for you, I can't just watch you suffer and let this old thief take advantage of you twice. If you trust me, I'll get you some more benefits."

"Of course I trust you," Lin Qing replied immediately.

"Then you shall wait." King Guang smiled slightly.

Lin nodded.

"Now tell me about your future spiritual practice."

King Guang said, "Besides the current spacetime rules, you can also think more about the method of creating a universe. Of course, if you want to take the path of dual spacetime rules, you must use dual spacetime rules as a foundation to figure out the method of creating a universe. Only after you achieve the ultimate goal can you create a universe within your body with dual spacetime rules."

He reached out and patted Lin Qing on the shoulder. "The path of dual spacetime rules is indeed extremely difficult. If you find that it is not feasible, it is okay to give up. Achieve the ultimate goal as soon as possible. Those of us who cultivate future rules have extraordinary status. After achieving the ultimate goal, we are the most likely to create a level three civilization."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "Yes, Master."

"To figure out the method of opening up the universe, we need to first understand the model of the universe's evolution and the theory of its construction."

King Guang said, "I have granted you the authority to view the Realm of Kings. You can go to the 'Cosmic Heavenly Heart Palace' to observe the model structure of the entire universe and constantly comprehend the evolution of the universe."

Lin Qing nodded and said, "I understand, Master."

"As a future cultivator of the rules, reaching the ultimate position is not difficult for you," King Light sighed. "But the most difficult thing is to deduce the method of the creation of the universe, especially for a universe with dual spacetime rules. To deduce the perfect method of creation is extremely difficult."

“Like that Master Yu, whose cultivation time is longer than mine, he must have missed the ultimate position more than once, but he has never been able to figure out the method of creating a universe with dual spacetime rules.”

King Guang chuckled mockingly and said, "You can consult your eldest and second senior brothers on this matter. They both achieved their ultimate goals using the dual-spacetime rules."

Lin Qing nodded in realization.

In short, be more patient.

King Guang added, "If you urgently need any of the treasures in the Treasure Hall, you can use them directly, and you can pay for them later according to their value."

Lin Qing thought for a moment, then suddenly said, "Master, I have a request."

"Speak," King Guang said casually.

"I am worried that the Yu Guild will destroy my hometown as I foresee in the future. So, could you please ask Master to help me find a powerful expert to guard the Mountain and Sea Realm in my place?" Lin Qing said, "I can bear the price."

As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a storage treasure—containing the spoils of war obtained from the killing of Marquis Cangye and Marquis Yantian.

"I don't know if it's enough." Lin Qing handed the storage treasure to King Guang. "If it's not enough, this disciple will try to find another way to make up for it."

King Guang glanced at it and smiled, "To invite a powerful expert who can withstand Duke Yu, the strength must be comparable to that of an ultimate being. This level is considered quite good among Duke-level experts. For example... the Luo Shenjun of the Lin Yuan Realm, she once fought a God King of the Lin Yuan Realm for several days and they were evenly matched." Lin Qing had also received information about the Lin Yuan Realm.

The Realm of Kings is a system of nobility, with higher chaotic beings being counts, eternal beings being marquises, dual-timeline eternal beings being dukes, and ultimate beings being emperors.

The Abyss Realm and the Immortal Realm are the realms of gods. Eternal beings are called Heavenly Gods, dual-time-space beings are called God-Kings, and ultimate beings are called God-Kings.

As for the level of the ruler of a divine kingdom, nowadays all civilizations refer to them as 'gods'.

In reality, the difference in names is simply due to differences in civilizations; essentially, they all represent the strongest path in the endless chaos of the universe evolving from the inner world.

Even the ultimate beings in the Origin Realm are only city lords, and the God Lord is also the lord of the Holy City.

As for Luo Shenjun, being able to fight a supreme being to a standstill for several days is indeed astonishing.

"Master, please ask this Lord Luo Shen for help. Are these treasures enough?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"That depends on the time."

King Guang said, "These treasures of yours can probably only be guarded by her for one or two hundred million years."

"One or two hundred million years?" Lin Qing was astonished. "These treasures were accumulated by Marquis Yantian and Marquis Cangye over countless years, and there are also sixteen precious world treasures, the Canghai Divine Pearls, all in just one or two hundred million years?"

King Guang shook his head and said, "You should know that the speed at which Luo Shenjun accumulates wealth is even more astonishing than many ultimate beings. If you want to ask her to guard your hometown, you might even have to face a powerful enemy like Yu Gong. How could it be so easy for her?"

Lin Qing thought about it and agreed.

The Goddess of the Luo River is an eternal being with the power of an ultimate being, which is a different concept from the ultimate being.

There are some wondrous and precious places in the chaos that are not allowed for ultimate beings to enter, but Luo Shenjun can enter, which is completely different.

Therefore, it is quite normal that Luo Shenjun accumulates wealth faster than the ultimate being.

"So, are you going to invite her again?" King Guang asked with a smile.

"please!"

Lin Qing nodded, "One or two hundred million years is quite a long time. I have only cultivated for a few million years. During this time, I plan to properly cultivate a group of my clansmen, help them transcend, and then guide them to the King Realm."

Anyway, these treasures were all free, so he wouldn't feel bad about giving them to him.

Moreover, his current strength has reached its limit, and these treasures can no longer help him. They were originally intended to nurture his hometown, so using them to hire people to protect it is not a big deal.

If all goes well, he can find the Nine-Hearted Sage and become a Duke!

“When the time comes, you can bring them to the Kingdom of Heavenly Light,” King Light said casually. “You have a territory in Heavenly Light City where you can let your people live.”

"Thank you very much, Master," Lin Qingxin said happily.

"It's nothing," King Guang smiled.

What he likes most are disciples who value family ties; otherwise, what's the point of having great talent?
He was willing to help his disciple and was willing to make sacrifices.

……

"Junior brother, this is the treasure hall."

A tall woman with long, fiery hair led Lin Qing to a magnificent palace and smiled, saying, "There are many good things in the treasure hall. Take whatever you want, but you have to keep a record. You can return it later. Master doesn't mind, but this is related to the fairness of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, so we can't be careless."

"Yes, Fifth Senior Sister," Lin Qing nodded.

This woman is none other than the fifth disciple of the King of Light—the 'Empress of Absolute Flame'.

It is said that this fifth senior sister cultivated a terrifying inheritance created by the past world gods specifically for the human race, which is no less powerful than the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World, so her strength is also extremely strong.

"This job is quite easy. Normally, you only need to leave an avatar here," Fifth Senior Sister said with a smile. "Only when retrieving the most top-tier Heavenly Rank treasures will you need to come and control it personally."

"Okay." Lin Qing nodded.

"You can come to my place when you have time," Fifth Senior Sister said with a smile. After chatting for a while, she left.

Lin Qing entered the treasure hall, examined the many treasures, and met with several stewards stationed inside before leaving his avatar behind.

……

The Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom occupies one of the regions closest to the origin of the universe within the King Realm. Although it is only about the same as a kingdom, the combined number of powerful individuals in the twenty-six Emperor Kingdoms within the King Realm is roughly the same as that of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom.

This divine kingdom contains many treasure lands, and its inhabitants generally have an easy grasp of spatial rules, making the probability of the birth of chaotic beings extremely high.

Lin Qing waited for his master to help him negotiate with the God of No Cause, while he himself prepared to go to the 'Cosmic Heavenly Heart Palace' to try to comprehend the model and structure of the universe's evolution.

Anyway, his progress in cultivating the rules on his own is too slow now, so he still has to wait for the Nine-Hearted Sage.

So, let's first learn how to create our own inner universe.

"Junior Brother, you've arrived so quickly?"

The person guarding the Cosmic Heavenly Heart Palace is a friendly-looking blond man, who is also the second personal disciple of the Light King, 'Emperor Xian'.

"Greetings, Second Senior Brother." Lin Qing nodded and said, "I just wanted to give it a try."

"Row."

After leading Lin Qing into the main hall, the second senior brother stopped in front of a relief stone wall and said, "Creating a universe is not that difficult. The final universe model can be based on the existing universe model. The key is that the evolution process is too variable and complicated. It must be perfect. Even the slightest error will cause the universe inside your body to collapse. You can't be careless."

He pointed to the reliefs on the wall and said, “You can refer to these successful universe models, especially Master’s future universe model, which should be helpful to you.”

"Thank you for your guidance, Second Senior Brother." Lin Qing immediately nodded.

"If you don't understand something, just ask your senior brother." The second senior brother said with a smile, "Of course, if you want to cultivate the dual-space universe, you will still need to ask your eldest and third senior brothers for guidance in the future."

He suddenly lowered his voice: "Actually, don't be fooled by the eldest brother's bold and unrestrained manner. He's careless and sometimes hard to reason with. On the contrary, the third brother is much easier to talk to. He's a good-natured person, but his memory isn't very good. You can ask the third brother more often. Anyway, he often forgets that you've asked him. He'll always give you serious guidance."

Lin Qing nodded in surprise.

After his second senior brother left, Lin Qing began to integrate his consciousness into the temple and start observing the cosmic evolution model of the King Realm.

The model of cosmic evolution is vast and complex, resembling the combination of countless spaces that influence each other, forming extremely ingenious operating rules that have shaped such a perfect universe.

"Compared to the main universe, the Realm of Kings is like a toddler version of the main universe..."

As the main god, Lin Qing had also observed the structure of the main universe. Although he could not observe and study it in such detail and depth, he still knew some of it.

In comparison, the overall structure of the Kings Realm universe is the same as that of the main universe. The only difference is that the origin of the Kings Realm universe supplies the three great divine kingdoms, while the origin of the main universe supplies the universe tree.

Perhaps... the first being to attempt to create a universe was imitating the main universe?
"Like the main universe, it is divided into a three-dimensional structure and ten spacetime phases, corresponding to the past, present and future universes, and the ten spacetime mysteries."

Lin Qing carefully observed the universe evolution model of the King Realm. "However, I can only understand the structure of the future universe and the three future spacetime phases right now. Let's study the future universe first."

Although the future universe model is complex, it is not difficult to record or understand the whole thing.

The most difficult part is deducing the process of how the world evolved into the universe.

It's like an incredibly complex math problem. You've been given the answer beforehand, but if you don't understand it, you just don't understand it. What's the point of knowing the answer then?

Before we knew it, eighty-two years had passed.

With Lin Qing's speed of consciousness processing, he completely memorized the model of the future universe in just eighty-two years.

This is also a direction he needs to study in the future.

As for how long it will take?
"Hmm? An anti-entropy user..."

Lin Qing glanced subconsciously at the newly added projects that could be pre-funded on the Entropy Reversal platform, and was immediately stunned, his pupils suddenly contracting: "The future universe model... can actually be pre-funded!!"

He could hardly believe it, took a deep breath, and then tried to get an advance.

In a moment, a massive model of the evolution of the internal universe appeared in his mind, rapidly evolving from one world into a future universe. The entire process was flawless, extremely smooth, and perfectly flawless.

"That's it?"

Lin Qing was somewhat dazed. "The biggest hurdle to achieving the ultimate goal? You've already overcome it?"

In other words, as long as he obtains the ultimate position bestowed by endless chaos, he can immediately achieve the ultimate!
At this point, he could already be considered a near-ultimate being!
