Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 411 Thirty Million Years Later

Inside the Hall of Flowing Years.

The will of the future God has departed.

"The biggest problem... has been mostly solved."

Lin Qing sat cross-legged in the void, seemingly lost in thought. "In other words, as long as there's no evidence, even if everyone suspects that I killed Yu Gong, the World God won't attack me just because of suspicion..."

Therefore, all he needs to do is ensure that there are no witnesses left to testify.

The remaining trouble is killing Lord Yu.

Yu Gong possesses a World God inheritance that is a kind of soul defense. Even the will of a God Kingdom Lord, combined with the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World, may not be able to directly destroy Yu Gong's consciousness.

Moreover, it would be best to take action within the Mirror Moon Sea.

If the killing is to occur outside the Mirror Moon Sea, then it is necessary to use illusion magic to make Yu Gong leave the Mirror Moon Sea.

This also has very high requirements.

"The second level of the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World can sever the connection between clones and cause and effect; it must be learned."

Lin Qing pondered, "The second level of the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World requires the Flower King of the Eternal Enchanted Realm, which demands 58,000 great merits. That's not too difficult..."

With his strength, he is not particularly outstanding among the entire human race, but... if we add the restriction of being 'below the ultimate existence', then it will be a completely different story.

In the endless chaos, there are many wondrous and precious places that cannot accommodate the ultimate beings who have created their inner universes; only the Duke can enter.

Some of these treasure lands are exactly what the Void Gods need, and one can gain a great deal of merit from them.

Moreover, the Void Gods also accept exchanging treasures for great merit, but the value will be relatively low.

"I can now begin to reclaim the treasures from those former subjects of the outer realms of the Beginning Realm."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "Eternal existence is not a problem, but those ultimate beings are more troublesome, especially the gods of various civilizations..."

His strength was ultimately insufficient.

In the Primordial Divine Kingdom and the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom, there are ultimate beings and eternal beings who were once subjects of the outer realm of the Beginning Realm, but he dares not break into the Primordial Divine Kingdom and the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom to demand payment.

The strength of the ruler of the divine kingdom was far superior to his, and more than ten times stronger within the divine kingdom.

During the war of the divine kingdom, it was one thing, but in ordinary times, anyone who dared to trespass into the divine kingdom was simply committing suicide.

"talk about it later."

"I can also go and harvest some of those chaotic wonders and treasures that the Beginning Realm once confined."

"There are also the cosmic battlefields of the Void God Clan and the Star Abyss Demon Clan. The highest-level cosmic battlefield is also in the main universe, and the ultimate beings cannot interfere. If I join, I will definitely be at the commander level, and I will also be able to obtain a lot of military merits."

He silently went through the many details of the plan.

Since the Beginning Realm has been completely destroyed, its deterrent power relies entirely on itself.

He wouldn't take the risk if he didn't have enough strength.

"If all goes well, killing that Lord Yu won't be difficult..."

Lin Qingwei narrowed her eyes slightly, "Let Lord Yu live for another 33 million years..."

He immediately closed his eyes again and continued to create secret techniques using the "Original Law".

The more dual-rule god-level secret techniques one cultivates, the better. Only by mastering all aspects can one minimize weaknesses and enrich one's methods of combat.

There is still much room for improvement in areas such as causality, illusion, and domains.

……

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, more than 30 million years have passed.

Temple of Heavenly Light.

Lin Qing, dressed in a white robe adorned with gold patterns, stood quietly at the very front of the platform.

Behind him on either side were two dukes: 'Qi Xuan Gong', the nominal disciple of the King of Light, and 'Yuan Gong', the eldest disciple of the senior brother.

Following them are the disciples of the Eternal level, and fifty peak Eternal experts from the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom.

"Senior brother, do you know why Master summoned us?" the handsome young Qi Xuan Gong asked quietly.

"It should be related to the cosmic battlefield on the side of the Void Gods," Lin Qing said casually.

Ape Master also spoke up: "I heard that Xingyuan has expanded a bit more in the main universe. I guess the pressure from the cosmic battlefield is too great."

At this moment, endless light condensed on the platform above, forming the figure of the King of Light.

"Master."

"His Majesty."

Lin Qing and his disciples and ministers bowed in greeting.

"The Void Gods have issued a summons."

King Guang glanced around and said, "Of the six fifth-order universe battlefields in the main universe, four have already been lost, and the fifth universe battlefield will most likely also be lost. Therefore, the Void God Clan has summoned all civilizations of our human race and the mechanical race to support the sixth battlefield. Our King Realm must send no less than a hundred peak Eternal Realm members, and the Duke Realm must send their main battle avatars."

He paused for a moment, then said, “All participants, regardless of the final outcome, will receive fifty merits at the peak of the Eternal Realm and five thousand merits at the Duke Realm. Merits will be calculated separately. If the sixth battlefield is won, all rewards will be doubled.”

Upon hearing this, everyone's eyes lit up.

One Great Merit is already quite high for the Void God Clan; the average peak Eternal Realm cultivator has less than ten Great Merits.

For a duke, five thousand merits is not a small amount.

"Master, four of the fifth-order cosmic battlefields have fallen?" Lin Qing asked.

"It seems the Star Abyss Demon Clan wants to achieve a 'complete victory' this time," said the Light King. "Besides the 'Azure Flame Domain Lord' of the Mother River Clan, the Star Abyss Demon Clan has also cultivated several key figures within itself, making unstoppable progress on the cosmic battlefield and breaking through four fifth-tier battlefields in succession."

"Complete victory?"

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

Since the Star Abyss invasion, the war between the Void Gods and the Star Abyss Demons has lasted for countless years.

This does not refer to the weak cosmic demons within the main universe.

Those Star Demons were merely Star Abyss puppets, naturally born from the operation of the rules after Star Abyss invaded the main universe; they were as insignificant as dust in nature.

The real war, however, takes place on the battlefield of space.

Legend has it that the three gods of the Void God Clan and the three progenitors of the Star Abyss Demon Clan fought each other but could not determine a winner. So they agreed to cultivate their respective races and form a cosmic battlefield by connecting the origin of the main universe. The victorious side would obtain the origin of the main universe contained in this cosmic battlefield.

The lowest level, the first-order cosmic battlefield, consists of countless battles fought only by beings at the Void Sovereign level.

In the highest level, the fifth-order cosmic battlefield, all beings below the ultimate existence can participate in the battle. Even the weakest cannon fodder is at least an eternal existence!
There are six fifth-order cosmic battlefields, each representing one of the six fundamental cosmic origins: nature, life, order, power, destruction, and chaos.

Legend has it that the gods of the Three Realms and the Three Primordial Ancestors once made some kind of agreement—

If all six Tier 5 battlefields are lost, the losing side seems to have to pay some kind of 'additional price'.

Over countless years, only the Void Gods had a record of complete victory in the early days, while the Star Abyss Demons had never achieved a complete victory.

But this time seems different? The Void Gods probably don't want to pay that 'extra price' this time, which is why they've offered such generous terms.

"In addition, the Void Gods are willing to compensate for the loss of the main battle avatar three times."

King Guang glanced around and said, "Even if it is the inheritance of a World God, the Void God Clan will still provide the precious materials needed for rebuilding after the death of the avatar."

Among the group, only Lin Qing had cultivated the World God's inheritance, so the others didn't react much.

Lin Qing didn't care much.

After all, among the World God inheritances he cultivated, only "Walking in Illusions" required him to rebuild a portion of his clone, while "Great Extinction of the Illusory World" and "True God of the Heart" did not.

Many World God inheritances actually come at the highest cost during the first cultivation, because it involves the soul level, so the cost of the second cultivation is not too great.

"The Duke level is out of the question."

King Guang looked at the fifty peak Eternal Realm cultivators and said, "You have cultivated God-Lord level secret techniques, but you still need to be careful. There are not many, but not few, that can completely annihilate you on the fifth-tier battlefield."

While the ability to create clones is certainly a strong way to survive, it also carries a high risk of death when facing an opponent who is significantly weaker.

Cause and effect, illusion, secret techniques of will... all sorts of methods can potentially destroy any clone.

"Let's all get ready."

King Guang glanced around and said, "The battle to destroy the origin is about to be decided. Once it collapses, a sixth cosmic battlefield—the natural origin battlefield—will be spawned. It will probably be a matter of a few hundred thousand years."

He glanced at Lin Qing again, "Lin Qing, stay here for a moment."

After everyone left, King Guang looked at Lin Qing with a smile and said, "Disciple, your strength is the strongest among the current Dukes and Gods of the human race. Even among the Void God Clan and the Star Abyss Demon Clan, you can be considered to be in the first tier. If you can make enough military contributions this time, you can try to get more benefits from the Void God Clan."

"Want more benefits?" Lin Qing asked doubtfully. "For example?"

"What I mean is, besides the treasures that have a price tag, the key is what you can't see."

King Guang looked at Lin Qing and smiled, "I can tell that you really want to refine a pillar-level cosmic treasure to serve as the future cosmic pillar of your homeland, right?"

"I can't hide it from Master." Lin Qing nodded.

"I thought about that too back then, but I found the possibility to be too slim, so I gave up."

King Guang shook his head slightly and said, "But given your special status, it is still possible for you to achieve this. Therefore, I suggest that if you have the opportunity, you should negotiate with the Void God Clan. For example... ask the World God to personally refine the embryo of a pillar-level cosmic treasure for you!"

"A World God personally forging a weapon embryo? Can't even a Chaos God forge one?" Lin Qing said.

"What is the success rate of the Chaos God?" King Guang shook his head and said, "The Lord of the Abyss Realm once tried to refine it himself, but he wasted two extremely precious materials and ultimately failed."

He looked at Lin Qing and said, "According to the predictions of the World God, even the ultimate level Chaos God only has a success rate of 10% or 20% in refining a weapon embryo. This is not due to factors such as luck, but simply because the pillar-level universe treasures are too large and vast, and the difficulty of refining them is too high."

Lin Qing suddenly realized and said, "So, the pillar-level cosmic treasures of the Heavenly Capital God Lord and the Immortal Realm Lord were both crafted by World Gods?"

"Yes." King Guang nodded.

"No wonder..."

Lin Qing suddenly realized, "I was wondering why these two's pillar-level cosmic treasures weren't their natal treasures. It turns out that the World God helped refine the artifact embryos."

It must be something you forge yourself to become your destiny artifact, or it must be something you transformed into your destiny artifact using certain treasures during the Chaos Artifact era.

If the World God were to help, a new one would have to be crafted, which naturally couldn't be his natal treasure.

"Even if we possess the refining method specially researched by the World God, it would be very difficult for us to learn it."

King Guang sighed, "The difference in realm is too great. The method by which World Gods refine pillar-level cosmic treasures seems too mysterious and obscure to us."

He glanced at Lin Qing and said, "If you have a choice, try to have the World God help you refine the embryo of a pillar-level cosmic treasure. Even if it's not your destined treasure, its power will still be enough to make you invincible."

Lin nodded slightly.

"It's alright if the military merits you earn this time aren't enough."

King Guang said, "At worst, you can spend a few hundred million or even billions of years visiting more chaotic wonders that ultimate beings cannot enter, accumulating enough wealth. The World Gods will also help you."

Spend hundreds of millions or billions of years more?

Lin Qing didn't say anything, but just laughed jokingly, "Maybe I've already achieved the ultimate level?"

"It can't be that fast, can it?" King Guang laughed.

Lin Qing didn't find it strange.

After all, even King Light didn't know that he would achieve the ultimate goal in another five or six million years.

The ultimate position is bestowed by endless chaos. This involves the future at the absolute highest level. How could the ultimate being possibly observe it?

However, once the ultimate position is predetermined, it is already destined to belong to oneself. Only when future rule cultivators observe their own future can they observe their own ultimate position.

It's like how others can't see the future line created by the entropy reversers, but Lin Qing can see it clearly.

There's no need to rush.

King Guang comforted him, saying, "We future rule cultivators will at least be able to know about the arrival of the ultimate position 38 million years earlier than other cultivators."

"Don't worry, Master." Lin Qingqing shook her head slightly and said, "I'm not in a hurry."

"Well, with your circumstances, you have a chance to refine a pillar-level cosmic treasure in the future," said the King of Light. "As long as you can ask the World God to help you refine the embryo, with your strength after becoming the ruler of the God Kingdom, you will still have a chance to kill the three ultimate beings of the past, present, and future."

Lin Qing slowly nodded.

The most troublesome ones here are the future rule cultivators.

Every race regards future rule cultivators as the most important elites, and the ultimate existence of future rules is even more precious.

Any civilization will prioritize protecting or providing its divine kingdom, allowing it to refine the divine kingdom.

Once one becomes the ruler of a divine kingdom, the ruler of a divine kingdom merges with the civilized universe and can be resurrected at any time from the origin of the universe, making it virtually impossible to kill.

Therefore, the methods are very limited.

This also makes the creation of pillar-level cosmic treasures extremely difficult.

"Don't be reckless when you go to the space battlefield."

King Guang instructed, "Among the younger generation of the Void God Clan and the Star Abyss Demon Clan, there must be some with even more astonishing experiences than you, with exceptionally powerful souls, willpower that transcends limits, and physical bodies comparable to the rulers of divine kingdoms. It's hard to say. In the endless chaos, any kind of opportunity is possible."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, understanding in her heart—

The Void Gods and the Star Abyss Demons are, after all, level four civilizations, and their exploration of the endless chaos far surpasses the understanding of the human race!

It's perfectly normal to find treasures that are beyond our comprehension.

Therefore, even though he has gone through more than 30 million years and his strength has almost reached a theoretical limit, it is only a supplement to various means, and there is no significant improvement.

Even on the battlefield of the fifth-order universe, they are not necessarily invincible.

"However, just a few hundred thousand years from now..."

Lin Qing was filled with anticipation: "Then I'll be able to use the Descent into the Future technique again!"

Then he will be able to verify his idea.

If one descends into the future and becomes the ultimate being, and then returns to the present world, with the fusion of consciousness, can the intensity of one's consciousness also be raised to the ultimate level?
