Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 396 The Gods of the Three Realms and the Three Primordial Ancestors

"Hmm, it's not difficult for a world god to create a world containing dual spacetime rules..."

Lin Qing opened his eyes, satisfied with the power of the transformed World God, "I estimate it's comparable to the power of 'Cosmic Calamity Body'."

The ultimate power of a supreme secret technique or a god-level secret technique depends primarily on the user's own limits.

Divine skills are not only about one's own strength, but can also be continuously integrated with more rules and mysteries, and can constantly transform and evolve.

The combined divine skill containing the rules of a single spacetime, coupled with an eternal treasure cultivated to its fullest potential, has already surpassed the power of the supreme secret technique.

It is only slightly inferior to a god-level secret technique like "Cosmic Body Calamity".

The combined divine skill that incorporates the rules of dual spacetime, when paired with a supreme eternal treasure, is comparable to a god-level secret technique!

Lin Qing is an example of this.

Before his breakthrough, the power of the Cosmic Body was far greater than that of the World God.

Now that the inner world has undergone a transformation, the enormous improvement in its foundation has made "Cosmic Body" a hundred times more powerful than before. However, the mysteries of the rules contained in "Cosmic Body" still only contain the rules of the future.

The World God is different; it not only has basic improvements, but also contains techniques and mysteries that govern dual spacetime!

"The clergy system is truly fascinating."

Lin Qing sighed inwardly, "The combination of divine skills and divine artifacts has such astonishing potential. If one possessed a pillar-level cosmic treasure, it would truly surpass all secret techniques..."

In the ancient universe era, there were only secret techniques and no supreme cosmic treasures. The enhancement of artifacts mainly relied on chaotic treasures.

With the emergence of the divine system, the path of divine skills and divine artifacts consumes fewer resources and even has a higher potential than that of secret arts!

Lin Qing had also researched information about pillar-level cosmic treasures.

Looking at the entire human race, only three pillar-level cosmic treasures have ever appeared, and now only two remain.

One is in the hands of the Universe Lord in the Immortal Realm, while the other is in the hands of the Heavenly Capital God Lord in the Abyss Realm. Both were passed down through generations and were not their natal treasures.

Both of them are beings who have mastered the rules of dual spacetime and created divine kingdoms. When they activate pillar-level cosmic treasures, their power surpasses all secret techniques and is even more terrifying than the inheritance of world gods. They are worthy of being called the strongest of the human race!
The Lord of the Universe is only invincible within his home universe; outside of it, he is not much stronger than the Lords of other divine kingdoms.

But once you possess a pillar-level cosmic treasure, it truly surpasses that.

There are records—

The Heavenly Capital God Lord once carried a pillar-level cosmic treasure, using endless chaos as his battlefield, and killed two other God Kingdom Lords who also mastered dual spacetime rules, and destroyed a massive chaotic wonder!

The ruler of a divine kingdom who has mastered the rules of dual time and space can already be considered to be at the highest level of combat power.

However, he was killed by two opponents fighting him alone!

This demonstrates the terrifying power of a pillar-level cosmic treasure.

"However, the Lord of the Origin Realm back then also possessed a pillar-level cosmic treasure, and should have been invincible while guarding the Origin Realm universe. Yet, he was still killed by the ancient progenitor, and even the Origin Realm was destroyed..."

Once Lin Qing realized this, he completely suppressed his desire to continue breaking through.

Although he is currently at the Duke level, his combat strength is still inferior to that of the ultimate beings, let alone compared to the strongest human.

In short, you must not reveal anything unless you are absolutely certain.

"I wonder what level those three World Gods of the Void God Clan and those three Primordial Ancestors of the Star Abyss Demon Clan are at?"

Lin Qing shook his head inwardly, "How could he be so much stronger than the Lord of the Beginning Realm?"

After pondering for a while, he calmed down and continued to explore and create secret techniques with the help of the "Original Law," attempting to create secret techniques at the level of the Lord of the Divine Kingdom.

In the blink of an eye, another 20,000 years have passed.

Millions of years have passed inside the Hall of Flowing Years.

“Disciple, the Void God Clan is preparing to begin selecting the third generation of bloodlines.”

Suddenly, the voice of the King of Light rang out in the Hall of Flowing Years.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing opened her eyes and said, "Master, I'll go out now."

"Yes, come see me."

……

Inside the Temple of Heavenly Light.

"In the blink of an eye, you've become capable of handling things on your own."

King Guang looked Lin Qing up and down and said with some emotion, "It's only been a few million years. I thought that you would be considered very outstanding if you could complete the second test by now. I didn't expect that you would already be the third Duke of my Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom?"

Lin Qing knew that his transformed life level could not be hidden from his master, so he shook his head and said, "Unfortunately, it is still somewhat different from the level of Yu Gong and Luo Shenjun."

"Some differences are normal."

King Guang shook his head and said, "Lord Luo and Lord Yu have both received the inheritance of the World God and have also cultivated the God Lord level secret technique of dual spacetime rules. Even if you have the Illusionary World Annihilation, it is difficult to compare with them."

Lin nodded slightly.

The inheritance of World Gods is extremely mysterious and terrifying, completely surpassing the level of the Lord of a God Kingdom.

The Great Extinction of the Illusory World is one of the inheritances created by the future God of the World. Its mysterious techniques and terrifying power are beyond question.

Moreover, it is truly unbelievable that such incredible effects can be achieved without even mastering the rules of spacetime.

It is said that most of the inheritances created by the three World Gods are magical secret techniques that do not involve the rules of space and time. Even those inheritances that do involve the rules of space and time only contain a certain rule of space and time, but their application is extremely ingenious.

"Master."

Lin Qing suddenly asked in confusion, "I'm a little curious, why have the three World Gods of the Void God Clan never passed down any inheritance containing dual spacetime rules?"

"Dual timeline?" King Light laughed, then shielded the surrounding timeline before speaking, "This involves a secret. Although our human race's higher-ups only suspect it, it should be pretty close to the truth."

"A secret?" Lin Qing listened attentively.

King Guang pondered for a moment and said, "What realm do you think the three World Gods of the Void God Clan and the three Ancestors of the Star Abyss are?"

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "Perhaps it's mastering the three major spacetime rules? Or perhaps a higher realm beyond the spacetime rules?"

"you are wrong."

King Guang shook his head and smiled, saying, "The three World Gods of the Void God Clan should each only have mastered individual spacetime rules! The current World God only has mastered the present rules, the past World God only has mastered the past rules, and the future World God only has mastered the future rules! The same goes for the three from Xingyuan!"

Lin Qing was taken aback and said, "How is that possible? The strength of these six..."

"Strength is strength, and realm is realm."

King Guang shook his head and asked in return, "Eternal existence, ultimate existence, and the ruler of the divine kingdom all only master one rule of spacetime, but how big is the difference in their strength?"

Lin Qing was taken aback.

"Our human race's high command has made some speculations—"

King Guang said, "These three World Gods of the Void God Clan are equivalent to the three God-Kings of the Main Universe! And the three Ancestors of the Star Abyss Demon Clan are equivalent to the three God-Kings of the Star Abyss!"

"The ruler of the divine kingdom?" Lin Qing asked, somewhat surprised.

“Just like my King Realm,” said the King of Light. “Why is the origin of the universe in my King Realm divided into three? It’s because there are three rulers of divine kingdoms in the King Realm, each controlling a different rule of spacetime. And don’t you think the situation of the three World Gods is also very similar to that of the three rulers of divine kingdoms?” Lin Qing nodded slowly.

indeed.

The Beginning Realm, the Immortal Realm, and the Abyss Realm all have a Lord of the Universe and multiple Lords of Divine Kingdoms.

Transcendent civilizations like the Kings Realm are characterized by three divine kingdom rulers each controlling a portion of the universe's origin.

"As for why they possess such terrifying strength, it is actually understandable."

King Guang continued, "The strength of the rulers of the divine kingdoms depends on the strength of the universe's origin they control. However, the difference in the universe's origin among transcendent civilizations is not too great, so the strength difference between the rulers of the various divine kingdoms is not significant. But... the main universe and the Star Abyss are different."

"The main universe and the Star Abyss are countless times larger than small universes like the King Realm!"

"Its cosmic origin must be countless times stronger than that of the King Realm. Once a God Kingdom ruler is born in the main universe, one can imagine how powerful it will be."

King Guang sighed, "So, it's understandable that those six are invincible."

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

Thinking about it this way, it does fit the situation of those three people.

"But... the realm of those three World Gods of the Void God Clan seems to be significantly higher than that of the God Kingdom Lord, right?" Lin Qing asked doubtfully. "The various inheritances they created have completely surpassed the level of the God Kingdom Lord."

Just as the eternal being has mastered a complete set of spacetime rules, it can only create the original secret techniques.

However, the ultimate being can create supreme secret techniques, and the ruler of the divine kingdom can create even more exquisite divine-level secret techniques.

This is because the difference in perspective leads to completely different techniques for utilizing energy and rules.

The three World Gods of the Void God Clan are clearly at a higher level!

"The answer is simple."

The King of Light said softly, "Because... of the divine office."

"Cleric duties?" Lin Qing suddenly understood.

"After the end of the ancient universe era, the divine system descended upon the universe," said the King of Light. "The upper limit of ordinary divine positions is Star-level divine beings, the upper limit of rare divine positions is Void-level divine beings, and there are only six higher-level divine positions."

Lin Qing slowly said, "The God of the Universe?"

"Correct."

King Guang nodded and said, "The divine office originated from the six cosmic gods of the main universe. Only by following the path of the cosmic god and reaching the Chaos God and achieving the ultimate goal can one become a cosmic god."

Lin Qing was not surprised. The moment he became a Chaos God, he knew that above the Chaos God was the Cosmic God, but he had never been able to find any information about the Cosmic God.

did not expect……

The three World Gods of the Void God Clan are actually three Cosmic Gods?
"Shouldn't there be six Cosmic Gods?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask. "The Three Realms Gods occupy three of the Cosmic God positions, so where are the remaining three Cosmic God positions?"

King Guang shook his head slightly and said, "When the ancient universe era just ended, the Three Realms Gods occupied the positions of the three cosmic gods of nature, life, and order. The Star Abyss invasion also occurred at that time, and the three progenitors of the Star Abyss occupied the positions of the three cosmic gods of power, destruction, and chaos."

Lin Qing was taken aback, then shook her head slightly and said, "I thought the divine system was unique to the human race."

“Aside from the six positions of Cosmic God, the other divine positions are indeed unique to the human race,” said the King of Light. “This includes the Chaos God. The Three Realms Gods and the Three Primordial Ancestors are too powerful and occupied the positions of Cosmic God long ago. It is impossible for them to compete with us.”

Lin Qing slowly nodded.

Even the strongest human being, within his home universe, could not stop the Star Abyss Ancestor. How could he possibly win?
"No wonder the Three Primordial Ancestors and the Three Realms Gods are enemies..."

Lin Qing suddenly said, "Nature and power, life and destruction, order and chaos are exactly opposites. Power, destruction, and chaos also perfectly match the negative attributes of Xingyuan."

“That’s not all,” said the King of Light. “In fact, these six factions were originally one. Nature gave birth to life, life created order, order brought power, power caused destruction, destruction led to chaos, and chaos returned to nature. It’s just that the Three Realms Gods became the gods of the three neighboring universes, and the Three Primordial Ancestors became the gods of the other three neighboring universes, which is why they are opposed to each other.”

Lin Qingze seemed lost in thought. Life...order?
"Therefore, the gods of the Three Realms, standing at the level of the gods of the universe, naturally created an incomparably brilliant legacy," King Light exclaimed.

Legend has it that the Cosmic God created the vast and incomparable main universe, and one can imagine how high the Cosmic God's status is.

Lin Qing now has a slight understanding of the level of the Three Realms Gods and the Three Primordial Ancestors.

The gap is indeed too large.

Not only is he the ruler of the divine kingdom created by the main universe and the star abyss, but he is also the ultimate cosmic god!

No wonder he has such terrifying strength.

"Disciple, I have a question for you," King Guang suddenly transmitted his voice.

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

Why would Master need to send a telepathic message when he has already blocked time and space?

King Guang looked at him, paused for a moment, and then asked, "Do you still want to cultivate the rules of the past?"

Lin Qing understood what her master meant.

Is the King of Light worried that he will become the next Prince Suk?

He paused for a moment before transmitting his voice, "What does Master think?"

“I understand that the meaning of life is to move upwards, and no one can suppress the desire to pursue the ultimate.” King Guang transmitted his voice: “If you can still grasp the rules of the past, it is normal that you do not want to give up, but you must not be discovered by those six.”

He stared at Lin Qing: "Back then, when Princess Su broke through in the Origin Realm, it was not announced to outsiders, nor was it known to the Void God Clan or the Star Abyss Demon Clan. I only knew this because I was born in the Origin Realm. But not long after Princess Su broke through, the Origin Realm was destroyed. Do you understand the significance of this?"

Lin Qing nodded slowly.

Either there is a traitor within the human race, or those six people can sense Prince Su's breakthrough.

"Your talent is truly exceptional. Such a rapid breakthrough, even if you haven't yet mastered the past rules, will likely arouse the vigilance and attention of those six."

Suddenly, King Guang flipped his hand and handed Lin Qing a small blue glass bottle. “This is a drop of ‘Source of the Present Universe’. After you take it, your compatibility with the current rules will skyrocket, but it will affect your comprehension of the other two spacetime rules. Moreover, its influence is deep into your consciousness. You could say that once you take it, it will be impossible for you to comprehend the other two spacetime rules, even if you are reincarnated.”

Looking at this drop of the source of the present universe, Lin Qing understood what the King of Light meant.

"You have already grasped the rules of the future, so you don't need to worry about being affected anymore. Therefore, it will only prevent you from comprehending the rules of the past."

King Guang said, "As long as you take it, those six will be able to see at a glance that you have no hope of comprehending the rules of the past in the future. At most, you will master two kinds of spacetime rules, which will pose no threat to them, and they will no longer be wary of you."

He sighed and said, "It's your choice, I won't blame you."

Lin Qing paused for a moment, then reached out and took the small glass bottle containing the source of the present universe, pouring the liquid inside into his mouth.

King Guang paused slightly, then couldn't help but ask, "Aren't you going to think about it some more?"

As someone who has reached the pinnacle of existence, he is well aware of life's yearning and pursuit for higher levels. To prematurely end and give up like this, who wouldn't feel heartbroken?

"It's nothing," Lin Qing shook her head.

Anyway, he had already mastered the three major spacetime rules, but he had not yet figured out the method of world transformation that combines the three.

Whether or not he takes this drop of the source of the present universe, it has no effect on him.

This drop of the source of the present universe will instead become his cover.
