Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 392 The Nine-Hearted Sage

Lin Qing left his instantaneous true god clone in the Mountain and Sea Realm, creating a spacetime with a time flow rate as high as 380,000 times, where Shen Jingjing could cultivate in seclusion.

Although the time acceleration is very high, it is still quite easy to maintain the time acceleration of a Void Overlord.

He then left one avatar in the Mountain and Sea Realm to see his long-separated relatives and friends, while the other avatar went to the Heavenly Origin Sacred Land.

Lin Qing's true form, however, quietly traveled to the sacred land of Time-Space Island to search for that heart.

……

Tianyuanzuo Holy Land.

"Mr. Lin Qing?"

The Celestial Ancestor stared at Lin Qing in astonishment, "You've returned from the Realm of Kings? It's only been a few million years... Wait, how did you get in?"

As the world lord of the Tianyuan Holy Land, he was completely unaware of how Lin Qing had entered.
Immediately, after carefully examining the origin of the world, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart.

At this moment, he felt as if he were facing an incredibly terrifying and vast world, as if the other party could destroy this sacred land with just a thought!

"Senior Tianyuan, I have found your daughter," Lin Qing's avatar said. "However, the Realm of Kings is currently in the midst of a full-scale war. Do you wish to go to the Realm of Kings to see your daughter, or should I send someone to bring her here?"

Will I ever see my daughter again?

The progenitor of the Heavenly Origin Seat was taken aback, his lips trembled slightly, and he felt his whole body filled with power. His eyes were also full of expectation. He quickly said, "Then please ask Mr. Lin Qing to send my daughter down. Thank you so much."

He had originally hoped that once Lin Qing achieved a certain status in the King Realm, she would be able to help him find out about his daughter, and that would have been enough for him.

I never expected... that I could actually get my daughter down here?
Recalling the aura he had sensed from Lin Qing earlier, he immediately understood... that in just a few million years, Lin Qing had grown to a level he could hardly imagine.

"No need to be so polite. Senior Tianyuan helped me a lot back then. Please just wait a few more days," Lin Qing said.

In fact, he already knew the approximate whereabouts of the daughter of the progenitor of the Heavenly Origin Seat, but at that time he was being watched by powerful enemies such as Yu Gong, so he naturally could not go looking for her, lest he bring harm to the innocent.

After the great battle, he asked his junior brother from the Frozen Empire to help him find people, which would save him a lot of trouble.

The daughter of the progenitor of the Heavenly Origin Seat has now become a high-level chaotic being and is doing quite well in the realm of kings.

“Okay, okay, okay,” the progenitor of Tianyuan quickly said, “I’m not in a hurry.”

The repeated great annihilations had long since reduced his relatives and disciples to nothingness; only his daughter remained his sole concern.

Having waited for so many billions of years, he naturally wouldn't mind waiting a little longer.

"However, it seems that Senior Tianyuan is about to be unable to withstand the next Great Annihilation?"

Lin Qing flipped his hand and took out a storage treasure. "Senior has been stuck at a bottleneck for many years. The treasures inside may be able to help you break through your current bottleneck."

The progenitor of the Heavenly Origin Seat had already cultivated the mysteries of his past life to the final bottleneck.

However, this is true for the vast majority of lower-level chaotic beings; out of ten thousand, perhaps only one will be able to successfully break through the bottleneck.

But with the help of these treasures he provided, there is at least a 70% chance.

Although many eternal beings would feel sorry for such a treasure, it was nothing to Lin Qing.

Back then, the Mountain and Sea Realm was almost breached by a powerful enemy, and it was only with the full assistance of the Ancestor of Tianyuan Seat that the crisis was averted.

He certainly wouldn't be stingy.

“This…” The progenitor of the Heavenly Origin Seat was taken aback.

Lin Qing didn't say much, just smiled and then dissipated the avatar.

……

The Pantheon is a sacred site.

Inside the Supreme Temple of the Central Yuan Domain, the progenitor of the Pantheon is currently in seclusion.

Ever since she joined forces with the Immortal Chaos Child to attack the Mountain and Sea Realm millions of years ago, only to be hunted down by the incredibly powerful Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm, she has been in seclusion in her hometown holy land, hoping to break through as soon as possible.

Although she had signed a five-star contract with the Second Universe Network and was not afraid of being killed, the contract only stipulated that the other party could not kill her, but it was not perfect or detailed enough.

If I can't kill her myself, what should I do if I ask someone else to do it?
Therefore, she was quite worried and planned to take advantage of this psychological pressure to try to break through the final bottleneck of time acceleration.

Suddenly--

"boom!!"

Amidst a deafening roar that seemed to destroy the heavens and earth, the progenitor of the Pantheon suddenly felt her own spacetime begin to shrink infinitely, and her home world, for some unknown reason, was also collapsing and being destroyed!
She looked up instinctively and was immediately stunned.

A colossal hand, seemingly more expansive than heaven and earth, emerged from the depths of space and time, sweeping towards her with overwhelming force. Wherever it passed, space and time collapsed and shattered. Her homeland, the Holy Land, was only slightly affected before it was completely destroyed!
The progenitor of the Pantheon was like an ant caught in the giant hand of a god, trembling instinctively, yet utterly powerless to struggle.

Then, she saw a face that looked like the heavens, looking at her with a half-smile.

"Lin...Lin Qing..."

The founder of the Pantheon immediately recognized it—it was Lin Qing's face!

"How can it be……"

Her mind went blank. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. How could Lin Qing, who only became a Chaos God millions of years ago, possess such incredible strength?
This completely overturned her expectations!
“The progenitor of the Pantheon, you haven’t paid off your debts from back then.”

Lin Qing looked coldly at the Pantheon Ancestor, who had become as insignificant as an ant in his palm. After casually sealing and storing him away, he glanced at the collapsed and destroyed Pantheon Holy Land, but didn't bother to pay any more attention to it and simply disappeared from the spot.

Although he couldn't break the restrictions of the five-star contract and couldn't kill the Pantheon founder with his own hands, there were plenty of ways to kill her.

……

The sacred land of Time-Space Island has long since become a desolate wasteland, except for the hidden space containing the heart of the Nine-Hearted Sage.

Lin Qing suddenly appeared in the silent, frozen space.

"The heart of the Nine-Hearted Sage..."

Lin Qing looked at the heart deep within the massive ice pillar, gently reached out, and the massive ice pillar instantly vanished, leaving only the vibrant heart beating like a human heart flying towards him.

The power of this heart is extremely weak, equivalent to the power of a Void Sovereign, and is in its nascent stage.

"seal up."

With a flick of Lin Qing's fingertip, terrifying forces emanated from it—the power of the world's origin, the power of will, the power of cause and effect… all simultaneously releasing their power to completely seal the heart.

Only then did he begin to reverse the process using the secret technique of "No Cause, No Effect".

This "Causeless and Effectless" secret technique also needs to be combined with future rules, making the investigation extremely clear.

A moment later—

"found it."

Lin Qing's eyes suddenly lit up, "It's actually in the Realm of Kings?"

After carefully analyzing and observing for a while, he couldn't help but smile.

Lin Qing wasted no time. After returning to the Mountain and Sea Realm and making arrangements, he asked Luo Shenjun to help Shen Jingjing maintain time acceleration. Then, he took his clones, such as Mind Walker and Moment True God, back to the Realm of Kings.

……

...The Realm of Kings, the Territory of Heavenly Light, the Ancient Abyss Empire.

Suspended Tu Prefecture, Suspended Path Sacred Star.

"Qingying, the war of the divine kingdoms is coming soon, and instead of going into seclusion to prepare, you're planning to go to the main universe again?"

A slightly short, stout man with white eyebrows sat in front of a huge chessboard, casually arranging the chess pieces. He glanced at the handsome man sitting opposite him and said, "The Empire is in dire need of manpower right now. It won't be easy for you to go to the main universe. You must first report to His Majesty and obtain His Majesty's or other ultimate beings' consent before you can open a cosmic passage. Even under normal circumstances, you have to go through the procedures, explain the situation, and apply for approval."

The handsome man sitting opposite the chessboard frowned slightly and said in a low voice, "I beg you, Lord Marquis, to help me out, considering the many years I have served you."

“It’s not that I don’t want to help.” Lord Xuantu shook his head slightly. “You’ve been to the main universe many times before, and I’ve helped you apply for help. But now, during wartime, the situation is special. Do you understand?”

The handsome man paused for a moment, sighed, and said, "Alright, I understand."

"Go down. I will help you apply after the war in the Divine Kingdom is over." Marquis Xuantu waved his hand. "Don't mention it again before the war is over."

After the handsome man left the palace of Marquis Xuantu and returned to his residence, he couldn't help but frown.

"Damn it... So many years have passed, and we still haven't found the ninth heart... In which void sea of ​​the main universe is it located? Perhaps the human race has already discovered it?"

"No... the void sea of ​​the main universe is almost entirely populated by weak, low-level chaotic beings. They wouldn't even recognize me if they obtained my heart..."

"Although I can't sense the exact location of my heart, it's definitely in the main universe region connected to the King Realm. During that battle, my heart was most likely obtained by a low-level chaotic being in a void sea somewhere in the main universe..."

"The war of the divine kingdoms is about to begin. I must break through and leave the realm of kings as soon as possible, otherwise it will be troublesome to get caught up in it..."

"But...where exactly is it?"

The handsome young man frowned deeply.

As a unique and special existence among chaotic beings, once it disguises itself as a human, even the ultimate human being would find it difficult to discover its true nature as a chaotic being.

Therefore, after it lost its ninth heart, it infiltrated the Realm of Kings, attempting to use the Realm of Kings' cosmic passage to travel to the Void Sea of ​​the Main Universe to find its ninth heart.

He also enslaved many humans and helped investigate many Void Seas.

However, after so many years and having explored at least hundreds of void seas, he still couldn't find the ninth heart.

"My status is still too low..."

The handsome young man took a deep breath, "If I said I was at the peak of the Eternal Realm, I could quickly explore countless Void Seas..."

But it lacks a heart, like a broken piece, and once it breaks through eternity, it can never be restored. How could it be content with that?

As for feigning genius and becoming an apprentice of some ultimate being...

It dares not.

It is ultimately a chaotic being. Once it comes into contact with the circle of ultimate beings, what if it encounters an ultimate being skilled in exploration who discovers its special nature?
Therefore, it prefers to take it slow.

"never mind……"

The handsome young man's eyes were full of unwillingness. "I'll wait a little longer. If we encounter a major crisis during the war of the divine kingdom, I'll break through directly. Otherwise, I'll continue searching after the war ends."

It had already comprehended its own rules for the present, and even mastered two mysteries of the rules for the past. It was too difficult to comprehend the rules for the future, so it only mastered one mystery of the future, but it was already able to achieve eternity.

He even comprehended the Eternal Body and his self-created innate secret techniques.

But it dared not break through!

"Damn humans, and those despicable humans at the King Realm, they actually think I'm human! Once I break through, you'll all die..."

It possesses the highest level of human understanding, as well as human emotions such as greed and resentment.

But it instinctively considers itself a noble and incomparably chaotic being, the darling of endless chaos, so how could it consider itself human?
Over the years, it has been forced to bow its head far too many times in its search for the heart.

Suddenly--

"Ok?"

The handsome young man suddenly realized that the space-time he was in had completely stopped, and everything seemed to be frozen in amber. Only his consciousness could still move, but his soul and body were instantly and completely imprisoned in the frozen space-time.

At the same time, a vast and illusory world appeared out of nowhere, completely enveloping its consciousness.

then--

This terrifying, illusory world crashed down, instantly crushing its consciousness.

"Do not……"

A great fear arose in the handsome young man's heart. He wanted to break through and resist immediately, but in an instant, his mind had no chance to break through.

In just a moment, its consciousness began to dissipate.

Before its consciousness faded, it vaguely saw the figure of a young man appear before it, smiling at it:
"If I hadn't known beforehand, I really wouldn't have been able to tell that you were a chaotic being?"

"how come……"

Immediately, its consciousness dissipated completely, unwillingly.

Looking at the corpse of the Nine-Hearted Sage, Lin Qing couldn't help but smile: "Very good... As expected of the Nine-Hearted Sage, who is just as greedy and yearns for perfection as the human race, he has indeed endured for so many years."

The Gate of Eternity in his mind has already locked onto the Nine-Hearted Sage, and by imprinting it on the Gate of Eternity, he can now create an avatar of the Nine-Hearted Sage!

Immediately, Lin Qing waved his hand and turned the Nine-Hearted Sage's body into nothingness, along with the world inside his body, collapsing and dissipating.

Although the Nine-Mind Sage is unique, his inner world is just like that of a human, utterly worthless.

"There's hope! We can truly begin to comprehend the current rules..."

Lin Qing was filled with anticipation.

The Nine-Hearted Sage is renowned for his insightful understanding. The key is that his multiple hearts simultaneously cultivate various rules and mysteries without affecting each other.

However, perhaps these nine wise beings have mastered some kind of spacetime rule belonging to their own inner world, but they cannot use it directly.

Everyone's inner world is different, and the spacetime rules they perceive are also different. The spacetime rules that form the foundation of the world are also different for everyone.

If what others comprehend is useful, and refining clones to obtain memories is feasible, then eternal existence would already be everywhere.

at this time--

"boom!"

A powerful aura spread out, and a figure appeared in the sky. It was none other than the master of this sacred star—Lord Xuantu.

"You are so brave!"

Marquis Xuantu stared coldly at Lin Qing below, his tone laced with anger: "Who are you? How dare you kill my subordinate on my territory? I think you are..."

Before he could finish speaking, he suddenly froze, staring intently at Lin Qing, and asked hesitantly, "You are... His Highness Lin Qing?"

Lin Qingwei slightly raised her head to look at Xuantu Hou.

"Ah!" Marquis Xuantu was so frightened that he quickly retreated, forcing a smile at the same time: "Your Highness, you are busy. I just came to take a look. I won't bother you any longer!"

Immediately, Marquis Xuantu bowed respectfully and then disappeared without a trace.
