Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 401 The Second Generation Bloodline of the Void God Clan

"I'll trouble Lord Luo to help guard this place during this time."

Lin Qing said, "After I refine the bloodline of the third generation of the Void God Clan, I will immediately request that my homeland, the Void Sea, be made my territory."

“That makes it much safer.” Luo Shenjun nodded slightly and said, “However, even if the Void God Clan is willing to grant you your homeland, the Void Sea, as your territory, it doesn’t mean you’re absolutely safe. If that Yu Gong goes mad and forcibly destroys your home world, the Void God Clan, out of consideration for the current World God, might only punish him severely. Do you understand?”

Lin Qing took a deep breath, nodded slightly, and said, "I understand."

"Ultimately, you need to be strong enough yourself to completely protect your hometown."

Luo Shenjun glanced at him and said, "Our human race has never produced a God-level secret technique based on the rules of the future and the rules of the present, so... at the Duke level, you probably have no hope of matching that Yu Gong."

Both she and Yu Gong had learned the inheritance of the World God and the God-level secret technique of dual spacetime rules. The two complemented each other, which is why their strength was comparable to that of the ultimate beings.

There is no conflict between the two. On the contrary, since the inheritance of the World God is mostly about the most basic techniques of body tempering, willpower, soul, and energy, it can be combined with the secret techniques of the God Lord level to exert even greater power.

Most of the gods and dukes have only learned the secret techniques of the god-lord level with dual spacetime rules, but they have no chance to receive the inheritance of the world god.

Lin Qing's situation was exactly the opposite!

In fact, the human race has many god-level secret techniques with dual spacetime rules, but none of them are based on future rules and present rules.

Therefore, it is not surprising that this situation occurred.

"It doesn't matter."

Lin Qing shook her head slightly and said, "It shouldn't take too long for Lord Luo Shen to guard it."

"Oh?" Luo Shenjun glanced at him, then suddenly realized, "That's true. Once you become the ultimate being, the Void God Clan should value you highly, and then Yu Gong won't dare to provoke you easily."

Lin Qing didn't say anything more.

He certainly understood this principle, but he wasn't sure when he would reach the end.

Moreover, once he achieves the ultimate position, he will be unable to enter the main universe unless he is reincarnated back to his home in the main universe and then ascends to the ultimate position, in which case he will not be rejected by the main universe.

If Yu Gong disregards the prohibition and comes looking for him, that would be troublesome.

Therefore, the safest approach is to first resolve the potential threat posed by Lord Yu.

"hold on."

Lin Qing remained completely calm, not at all flustered: "At least it won't be long before I have the strength to confront him head-on..."

……

Soon, news about Lin Qing, the newly promoted Duke of the King Realm, spread throughout the entire human race.

Looking at the entire human race, the number of God-Kings and Dukes is less than one-fifth of the ultimate beings. The birth of each one is a major event!
Not to mention--

This is a duke who has mastered the rules of the future, a feat that few have ever seen in human history. With such talent, he may become the first ruler of a high-level divine kingdom in human history to master the rules of the future!

Such a unique phenomenon naturally spread to the upper echelons of various human civilizations in an instant.

Many people even made special trips to the Realm of Kings or their hometown, the Void Sea, to visit Lin Qing.

Lin Qing's main god avatar did meet a few people, but the other avatars were either in seclusion cultivating in the Hall of Flowing Years in the King Realm or traveling in the endless chaos, so they did not meet most of them.

Several more years passed.

Lin Qing's original body, which had been traveling through endless chaos, finally returned to the Cosmic Tree.

……

"God Lord?"

Below a miniature universe hanging from the tree branch of the cosmic tree, the Heavenly Binding True God looked at Lin Qing and exclaimed, "It's a good thing that the third generation of my Void God Clan's bloodline has encountered a genius like you. I never expected that my role in presiding over this event would bring such benefits."

"You flatter me, God," Lin Qing said.

"With this bloodline, you can also try to cultivate some of the unique inheritances treasured by my Void God Clan."

The Heavenly Prison True God praised softly, "Remember, the first World God inheritance you learn is free, and it will provide you with the cultivation resources you need for 38 million years. How high you can cultivate depends on yourself. If you can learn the second World God inheritance, it will only cost 30% of the original price."

He paused for a moment, then added, "As for the inheritance of the True God, it also only requires a 30% discount."

Learn one for free?
Lin Qing nodded to herself.

A World God's inheritance is worth at least several thousand or even tens of thousands of merit points. If one cultivates it completely, the cultivation resources are also extremely precious.

If he can complete the cultivation within 38 million years, it will be equivalent to gaining a huge amount of merit for free!
but……

It would be quite an achievement for many geniuses to master even the first level in 38 million years, let alone the complete version.

The Heavenly Prison True God said, "In addition, you have an extra reward for capturing the King-grade Immortal Spirit, besides the merit."

"Additional rewards?"

Lin Qing also remembered that the Heavenly Prison True God had mentioned this at the beginning.

“Of course.” The Heavenly Prison True God smiled. “The reward is an opportunity to meet the World God.”

"Meet the God of the World?" Lin Qing's heart tightened slightly.

He knew that, without him noticing, the future God of the Realm had already taken notice of him.

King Guang had also mentioned this, so he was quite wary.

Moreover, in the future timeline he had previously descended into, this future world god had also bestowed upon him a seven-feather-level future world token!

Back then, his strength was not as great as it is now. It is unknown what the Future God was thinking when he specially descended and bestowed upon him a Future God Token.

It should be noted that only a handful of people in the entire human race receive this kind of treatment.

At that time, he wasn't even at the peak of the Eternal Realm!

How could this not make him wary?
"Yes, which World God do you wish to see?"

The Heavenly Prison True God smiled and said, "If you gain the favor of the World God, perhaps the World God will bestow a great reward upon you. A prodigy like you who cultivates the rules of the future, perhaps our future World God will favor you?"

Lin Qing composed herself, feigning genuine surprise, and said, "Then of course I choose to meet the future God of the Realm."

"Don't worry."

The Heavenly God smiled, waved his hand, and handed a golden fruit shimmering with iridescent light to Lin Qing, saying, "This is the bloodline fruit of my clan's third generation. You can accept it. After meeting the World God, you can go into seclusion in the 'Flowing Light Universe' to refine it. Even if you are at the Duke level, you can increase the flow of time to 3,800 times within it."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and glanced at the bloodline fruit. The fruit faintly emitted a three-colored light, clearly indicating that it belonged to the third generation of the Void God Clan's bloodline.

Of course, even if he has refined the bloodline of three generations, it does not mean that he is a third-generation Void God; it is merely a bloodline.

He is still essentially human, so it is impossible for him to truly become the core of the Void Gods.

"Alright, I have reported this to the Future God."

The Heavenly Binding God waved his hand and swept Lin Qing up: "Come with me."

……

This is Lin Qing's second time entering the future world, but the last time was when he descended into the future.

The Heavenly Prisoner God led him to a tranquil, somewhat illusory lake in the future world. After bowing respectfully, he left. This space-time was silent, as if Lin Qing were the only one there.

As Lin Qing waited, he observed the somewhat ethereal and tranquil lake. Suddenly, he realized that the depths of the lake reflected himself, or rather... reflected scenes from his future.

Each ripple represents a future, and countless ripples reflect countless futures. The deeper the lake, the more distant the future appears.

Even... some future lines are exactly the same as the ones he sees, and even more distant than the future he observes himself!
"It has already exceeded the scope of 38 million years..."

Lin Qing was secretly surprised.

Normally, one can only observe the future up to 38 million years in the future. Even the King of Light cannot see the future beyond 38 million years!

And this lake is actually able to break the limits?
Suddenly--

"This is the source of the future of the main universe."

A calm and gentle voice suddenly rang out.

It's the voice of the future God!

Lin Qing's heart stirred, and he slightly raised his head, saying, "Greetings, Future God of the Realm."

The voice of the future God of the Realm rang out again: "It seems you have quite a secret. Are you afraid of me?"

Lin Qing paused for a moment before slowly saying, "Yes."

“It’s normal for you to be afraid of me,” the Future God of the Realm said. “Do you know when I started paying attention to you?”

"When I broke through to eternity?" Lin Qing said, "From that time on, I became the disciple of the King of Light, which is inconsistent with the observation of the World God?"

"No, even earlier."

A hint of a smile slowly crept into the voice of the future God of the Realm, "To be precise, it was before your reincarnation."

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback and said, "The World God really saw it clearly. He even discovered such a subtle change before I was reborn into the King Realm?"

From the perspective of a future god, everything that will develop in the future should probably be consistent with what he sees. However, it is normal for the future to undergo slight changes once he receives the Light King's Decree from the Light King and is able to reincarnate into the realm of kings.

however--

"you are wrong."

The God of the Future suddenly laughed, "When I said 'before reincarnation,' I meant before your first reincarnation."

"Before the first reincarnation?" Lin Qing couldn't help but wonder, "I've only reincarnated to the King Realm once... um?"

At this point, Lin Qing suddenly looked up, her pupils contracting slightly.

This is indeed not his first reincarnation.

To be precise, his first reincarnation was during his initial time on Earth, after experiencing the apocalypse and being reborn!
However... before that, the future God of the World had already noticed him?

Lin Qing took a deep breath and slowly said, "Back then, I was just a mortal who hadn't even come into contact with cultivation yet. How could a World God have noticed me?"

“That is, after all, a planet formed from a trace of the Origin Realm’s origin.” The Future God sighed. “I felt ashamed before the Origin Realm, so I naturally took a look. Then I discovered that several little guys who were once loyal to the Origin Realm had also been reincarnated into the Origin Realm.”

He paused, then said softly, “But none of them are beyond my observation range. Logically speaking, the development of the entire New Beginning Realm should be completely consistent with the future I have observed. However, I have discovered that... only your trajectory is different from the future I have observed. Naturally, I could tell at a glance.”

Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat.

The reality and the future, which should have been completely identical, have deviated, and even the slightest deviation is probably crystal clear in the eyes of this future world god!

"I am very interested in you, but no matter how I observe you, I can't see what's so special about you, or how you've exceeded my expectations?"

The God of the Future said softly, "So, after you died, I helped you a little and allowed you to be reborn."

Lin Qing was taken aback.

He never understood how he could be reborn after dying in the apocalypse, when he was just an ordinary person with no special abilities or powers.
At this moment, he finally understood.

"So my rebirth was because of... the future God of the Realm..." Lin murmured softly.

"In this endless chaos, the number of beings that can exceed my observation range is very small."

The future God said softly, "Some beings are exceptionally special, like Princess Shijing back then. Others are quite ordinary, and I can't even figure out why. You are one of them."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "Even a World God, a cosmic god, has beings he can't see through?"

“Cosmic God…” The future God of the World suddenly chuckled, his laughter tinged with mockery.

Then, he slowly said, "You are the eighth being whose future I cannot accurately predict. Since you were born in the Origin Realm, let me remind you."

"A reminder?" Lin Qing's heart stirred, and he said, "I'm all ears."

"Your talent is extraordinary. Perhaps because of Princess Su's fate, you have already given up on the path of complete spacetime rules."

The God of the Future sighed softly, "Whether this is true or false, whether you truly give up or not... before you become the master of a universe, do not evolve your inner universe with complete spacetime rules, otherwise... you will surely die."

Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat.

He didn't know if the other party was testing him or what their reason was, so he could only remain calm and say, "World God, I have already consumed a drop of the Source of the Present Universe."

The God of the Future was silent for a moment before sighing, "This isn't so bad...maybe it's not a bad thing after all..."

Then he said, "Although you have consumed a drop of the source of the present universe, it is not entirely hopeless that you have mastered the complete rules of spacetime. They are still not completely at ease, but... once you achieve the ultimate, they should be completely at ease with you."

"Them?" Lin Qing's heart stirred, and he vaguely guessed who the 'them' the future world god was talking about was.

"World God."

Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "Was the destruction of the Beginning Realm really because of Princess Su?"

"I suppose so." The Future God of Realms sighed softly. "The three of us don't share the same ideas, and besides... the three of us are already fighting, just like the Kings Realm..."

He suddenly fell completely silent.

The entire future world was silent; it was as if the God of the Future World had left.

Lin Qing waited for a moment, then couldn't help but ask, "A World God?"

"...That's all."

The future God of the Realm then slowly spoke, "I cannot see your future. If that day truly comes, I hope... you will let my Void God Clan leave."

"What?" Lin Qing was taken aback.

The next moment, a golden fruit shimmering with multicolored light appeared out of thin air and silently appeared in front of him.

Lin Qing was taken aback.

“This is the second-generation bloodline of my clan. You should refine it.”

The voice of the God of the Future gently drifted through the Future Realm: "My clan's second-generation bloodline is comparable to that of a Chaos Lord. It not only contains the inherited memories of various cosmic structures, making it easier for you to create a method to open up an inner universe, but also allows you to easily gain the attention of the Endless Chaos. After you refine it, in as little as 38 million years, you will be able to obtain an ultimate position from the Endless Chaos."

"Second-generation bloodline?" Lin Qing was stunned.
