Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 390 No Cause, No Effect
"calm down……"

Lin Qing took a deep breath, calming his surging emotions. "I need to at least achieve the ultimate level through the dual spacetime rules. Only then can Master Qi also achieve the ultimate level in the future, or I need to cultivate a pillar-level universe treasure, so that the Mountain and Sea Realm can transform into a miniature universe..."

Even if the ultimate position were to arrive immediately, he would not break through now.

At worst, he can miss out on the ultimate position once. Once he deduces the method for creating a universe with dual spacetime rules, he can wait for the next ultimate position.

He didn't want to see the Mountain and Sea Realm turn into a state of endless civil war like the Realm of Kings.

Therefore, he hopes to master two spacetime rules, add a pillar-level cosmic treasure, or cultivate Master Qi into an ultimate being. Master Qi's transcendence is the beginning of the past rules.

If all else fails, we can cultivate an ultimate being like our master, but we must obtain a True Self Oath Stone.

certainly--

The most perfect and ideal outcome would be if he mastered all three spacetime rules at the same time, and could transform the Mountain and Sea Realm into a miniature universe on his own!
However, this is far too idealistic. Looking across endless chaos and endless years, only Prince Su has succeeded.

Without the Nine-Hearted Sage, he truly had no confidence whatsoever.

"However... the ultimate position will definitely not be descended within the next 38 million years."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, while his eyes also reflected numerous future lines. "Otherwise... I should be able to observe the future line of the moment I achieve the ultimate."

Although he can only observe the eternal future, the ultimate existence is beyond his limit of future observation.

However, the moment of achieving the ultimate goal, the instant when the level of life is about to transform, is still within the scope of observation and can theoretically be observed.

Therefore, the ultimate position will definitely not be attained within 38 million years.

As for the future timeline he descended to last time, in that future timeline, because his hometown was destroyed by Yu Gong, he was determined to seek revenge on Yu Gong and only pursued mastering the three timeline rules. He never thought about achieving the ultimate.

"Hmm... If I have the chance to turn the Nine-Hearted Sage into an avatar, I will try my best to master the three spacetime rules..."

Lin Qing made a decision in secret.

He then left behind an avatar and departed from the Heavenly Heart Palace of the Universe.

"Junior Brother, you're out so quickly?" Second Senior Brother Xianhuang asked in surprise. "In such a short time, you could at most have memorized the model of the future universe, right?"

"Senior brother, my main goal is to master the dual spacetime rules. Comprehending only one spacetime rule won't be of much use." Lin Qing shook his head and said, "Let's wait until I've mastered both spacetime rules before we come back."

"Well, that's true."

The second senior brother nodded slightly, "However, the path of dual spacetime rules is indeed difficult. I tried it back then, but I really didn't have the talent. Don't be impatient when you cultivate."

"Understood." Lin nodded with a smile.

After leaving the Cosmic Heart Palace, he returned to the Treasure Hall.

The treasure hall houses countless treasures, including numerous rare items imbued with the power of time manipulation.

Lin Qing did a quick count and was startled.

This treasure hall contains tens of millions of rare treasures that embody various abilities within the current rules!

"Isn't this too much?"

Lin Qing was somewhat amazed, "The most numerous treasures contain the ability to accelerate time, totaling more than 20 million pieces, while the fewest contain the ability to rewind time, yet there are still more than 1 million pieces."

However, upon closer reflection, this is quite normal.

After all, among the three major spacetime rules, the current rules are the most common, and the number of related rare treasures is also the largest, unlike the rare treasures with future rule abilities.

In addition, this is the treasure hall with the most treasures in the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, gathering treasures from almost half of the King Realm, so it's not surprising that there are so many.

"The position of the supreme god provides a comprehensive view of the rules, in addition to the subtle details of these strange and precious creatures..."

Lin Qing nodded to himself, "Even without the Nine-Hearted Sage, I chose to seal the memories of the future rules and reincarnate to cultivate the current rules. With such conditions, as long as I spend more time, I should be able to master the current rules."

However, after reincarnation, many things need to be cultivated again, which is too troublesome and wasteful.

the most important is……

He will revert to his weak state. Even if he has a main god avatar and cannot die, he may still be crippled by the enemy.

Even with advance arrangements, absolute safety cannot be guaranteed.

Therefore, it would be best to have nine wise men.

"Continue to accelerate the cultivation time."

Lin Qing casually summoned a batch of extraordinary treasures containing the ability to accelerate time and began to carefully study them.

When he descended into the future last time, he read his insights about time acceleration from his future self.

However, the rules of the future interfere with the rules of the present, making cultivation extremely difficult. Even the simplest mystery of time acceleration remains stuck at the final bottleneck.

There was no other way; the rules of spacetime were too complex and ever-changing. He couldn't see the whole picture, nor could he discern the true rules of spacetime, so he couldn't foresee the final outcome. He could only rely on his own comprehension and integration.

In the blink of an eye, another hundred years have passed.

On this very day—

"Disciple, come to see me."

Suddenly, the voice of the King of Light rang out in the treasure hall.

Lin Qing opened her eyes, a thought suddenly striking her: "Could it be that Master and Lord Wuyin have made some progress?"

He immediately left the Treasure Hall and rushed to the Temple of Heavenly Light.

……

"The inheritance of the secret technique 'No Cause, No Effect' that you want."

Inside the study, King Guang smiled and handed Lin Qing a pure white leaf and a storage treasure. "That old thief, Lord Wuyin, knows he's gained an advantage. He couldn't keep up the act for more than two hundred years. Adding a portion of Chaos Treasure for cultivating the 'Causeless and Fruitless' secret technique will be enough for you to cultivate to the final level."

Lin Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately accepted the secret technique inheritance and cultivation materials, saying, "Thank you, Master."

“These precious materials for cultivating causal secret techniques are extremely rare. If I were to search for them for you, it would be quite troublesome.” King Guang said casually, “That old thief, Lord Wuyin, is most skilled in causality and has many such precious materials on hand.”

"Fortunately, Master intervened; otherwise, I wouldn't have been qualified to bargain with that God of No Cause," Lin Qing said, shaking his head.

"It's nothing, just focus on your cultivation."

King Guang smiled and said, "As for Lord Luo Shen, I have also made arrangements for you. However, she is in a dangerous place deep in the Chaos. It is estimated that she will not be able to come out for another five or six hundred years. When that time comes, she will come to the Realm of Kings to find you. After you see her, take her to your hometown, the Void Sea."

"Yes," Lin Qing nodded.

"As for the Void God Clan, I have already seen the future," said the King of Light. "I estimate that in 280,000 years, there will be a third-generation Void God Clan member who has been abandoned. When a new third-generation spot appears, the Void God Clan will begin the selection process."

“Two hundred and eighty thousand years…” Lin Qing nodded slightly.

In the future, he failed to seize the bloodline of the Void God Clan's third generation.

When the selection process began, his strength in the future timeline was not yet at the peak of the Eternal Realm, and he was not even a direct disciple of the King of Light, so his failure was quite normal.

But now it's different.

"Are you confident?" King Guang asked.

"With my current strength, I estimate I have a 50-60% chance of success," Lin Qing said. "Several of my competitors have also cultivated the terrifying inheritance of World Gods."

"Fifty or sixty percent? That's already pretty good." King Guang nodded slightly and said, "For people like Marquis Cangye and Marquis Yantian who go to the selection, they probably only have a one or two percent chance."

He sighed, "It's a pity that the selection involves three World Gods of the Void God Clan, so I can't observe the results for you." "It's alright, I've tried it before in the future, so I have some experience," Lin Qing said.

The future timeline that has arrived is a naturally developed future timeline. Even if it cannot be observed, it does not mean that the future does not exist.

Unfortunately, it can only be used once in a long while.

The next time he will arrive in the future will be 38 million years from now, and that will be 38 million years in the chaotic spacetime, not the 38 million years he experienced.

Otherwise, as long as time is accelerated, wouldn't we be able to travel to the future at will?

"This 'Causeless and Effectless' secret technique is also a god-level secret technique based on the rules of the future."

King Guang said, "Without the talent for causal secret arts, it would be very difficult to cultivate. However, you seem to be exceptionally talented, so perhaps you can succeed? If you succeed, you should have an even greater chance of success during the selection of the Void God Clan."

Lin nodded slightly.

But he had other ideas in his mind.

……

After leaving the Temple of Heavenly Light, Lin Qing did not return to the Treasure Hall, but went to the 'Hall of Time'.

"Is Junior Brother going into seclusion in the Hall of Time?"

A disheveled young man who looked very much like an Earthling, carrying a jug of wine, lay on his side in front of the steps of the Temple of Time, his eyes hazy, lazily looking at Lin Qing.

"Greetings, Eighth Senior Brother." Lin Qing immediately said, "I still have some secret techniques to learn, and I need to comprehend the current rules. Moreover, the Divine Kingdom War will break out in hundreds of thousands of years, so cultivating in the Hall of Time will save time."

This eighth senior brother, whose title is Drunken Lord, is quite fitting for the name.

"Well, it's good to have room for improvement. I haven't improved in years."

Eighth Senior Brother Zui Jun nodded casually, then lazily lay down again, and tossed a bottle of wine to Lin Qing, "Come and have a drink with your senior brother."

Lin Qing didn't refuse. He took a sip of the wine and was somewhat surprised to find that it could awaken the soul and enhance comprehension. For a peak Eternal Realm expert, the treasures needed to enhance soul comprehension were extremely precious.

“I don’t usually need to keep it, but you should drink more of it, it’ll do you good,” said Eighth Senior Brother, Drunken Master, casually.

"Thank you very much, senior brother."

Lin Qing knew that this senior brother was also a person who did not care about formalities, so he did not stand on ceremony and drank with him for two days. During their chat, he drank several more jugs of wine before entering the Hall of Time.

……

The Hall of Time mainly focuses on strengthening the application of current rules.

The four branch halls correspond to the four abilities in the current rules. For example, the 'Hall of Regret' is a branch hall used for repair and experimentation, and it can achieve time reversal with an extremely high limit.

Lin Qing was heading to the 'Flowing Years Palace'. In this branch of the Flowing Years Palace, even as an Eternal Peak expert, he could maintain a stable time acceleration of 3,800 times while cultivating.

After his life level underwent a transformation, the burden on time and space became extremely high.

Even with the help of both the Mind Walker's clone and the Momentary True God's clone, they could only maintain the 380-fold time flow for a short period.

Even the ultimate being who cultivates the current rules can only help him maintain a time flow rate of 3,800 times for a short period of time, which is extremely costly.

And this Palace of Time is very convenient.

"Your Highness, with your authority, you have the right to use the four branch halls of the Hall of Time for one million years every thirty-eight million years, and you also have priority in using them."

The steward of the Hall of Time respectfully escorted Lin Qing to the Hall of Flowing Years.

"it is good."

Lin nodded and walked into the Flowing Years Palace, which resembled a starry sky.

The palace doors are closed, and time and space are formed on their own.

"Accelerated by 3,800 times".

Lin Qing immediately increased the time flow rate of the Flowing Years Palace to its maximum limit.

In this way, while he was in seclusion in the Hall of Flowing Years for 38 million years, only 10,000 years had passed in the outside world.

Since that 'Lord Luo Shen' will not arrive at the King Realm for another five or six hundred years, he naturally will not waste this time. With the time acceleration of three thousand eight hundred times, he can cultivate for two million years.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Qing began to comprehend the new causal secret technique, "No Cause, No Effect".

"This 'Causeless and Effectless' secret technique is quite difficult; even getting started is so complicated..."

Lin Qing was not in a hurry and immediately began to carefully comprehend it. His black flame clone also spared no effort in burning his life force to enhance his comprehension.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a million years have passed.

"Haha, finally..." Lin Qing revealed a happy smile.

I've finally grasped the basics of this secret art of cause and effect.

He is now a peak Eternal Realm expert, and has already mastered the rules of the future. He also has the wine given to him by his eighth senior brother, Zui Jun, to enhance his comprehension. However, it has taken him nearly a million years to just enter the realm of this technique. This shows that he is indeed not very compatible with this secret technique.

According to the inheritance, only those advanced chaotic beings who have entered the realm of enlightenment within 38 million years can be considered to have superior talent.

If one is a peak-level Eternal Realm expert, it would probably take at least ten thousand years to even begin to grasp the basics and be considered to have superior talent.

"Just getting started is enough."

Lin Qing already knew the cultivation method and direction of this secret technique, and immediately began to make advance payments.

I do not know how long it has been.

"Is this what they mean by 'No Cause, No Effect'?"

Lin Qing was secretly amazed, "Truly impressive. Even if an ultimate being is skilled in the secret arts of cause and effect, it is impossible to create such a secret art. It requires an extremely high level of understanding of the chaos of the universe..."

This secret art encompasses several aspects, including calculation, locking, causal killing, severing causality, and planting causality.

While its direct combat strength isn't particularly high, its role is significant.

Moreover, once mastered, every move contains destructive power at the level of cause and effect, making it a perfect match for future rules and very suitable for assisting in combat.

"With this secret technique, my combat power will increase by at least 50%."

Lin Qing nodded slightly in satisfaction, "Moreover, the methods involving cause and effect are often so sophisticated that they are impossible to guard against!"

Most importantly, once he returns to his home in the Void Sea of ​​the main universe, he can retrieve the heart of the Nine-Hearted Sage, deduce the cause and effect based on the heart, and pinpoint the location of the Nine-Hearted Sage!

of course……

The premise is that the Nine-Hearted Sage has not yet given up on this heart and has not yet achieved eternity.

"Logically speaking, the Nine-Hearted Sage is very much like a human, possessing human desires and a pursuit of perfection, and should not give up easily..."

Although Lin Qing knew this in her heart, she was not confident enough and could only hope that the Nine-Hearted Sage had not yet transformed into Eternity.

Afterwards, Lin Qing used the precious cultivation materials he already had to repay the debt of "No Cause, No Effect" before he began to comprehend the current rules.

Although the cultivation efficiency is frighteningly low due to interference from future rules, every little bit of progress is good.

time flies.

After Lin Qing cultivated in the Flowing Years Palace for over a million years, the Goddess Luo finally reached the King Realm.
