Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 412 Qi Lingxiao's Origins
After the meeting ended, Lin Qing left the Realm of Kings and entered the River of Time and Space, heading to the Realm of Abyss.

Before the ultimate position arrives, he must reincarnate back into his home realm, the Mountain and Sea Realm. Before heading to the cosmic battlefield, he also has some matters to resolve beforehand, so—

He planned to visit Master Qi first.

……

The Abyss Realm and the King Realm are quite far apart, but they are both concentrated in the human race region outside the main universe, so they are not that far apart.

At Lin Qingxu's speed of travel, he arrived outside the Lin Yuan Realm universe in just a few days.

"The microcosm of a transcendent civilization like the Kingdom of Biel is far larger than that of a typical civilization..."

Lin Qing sensed the size of the Abyss Realm universe through spacetime, "It's about 272 billion light-years in diameter, while the King Realm universe is only about 60 billion light-years in diameter..."

The diameters differ by several times, and the volume difference is nearly a hundred times!
In fact, the number of powerful individuals below the ultimate level in either the Abyss Realm or the Immortal Realm is greater than the combined number of dozens of transcendent civilizations of the human race.

The number of ultimate beings is not as exaggerated due to their ultimate position.

However, among the powerhouses at the Eternal level and the levels of Divine Lord and Duke, there are ten to a hundred times more people at the Abyss Realm than at the King Realm.

It is said that there are more than 1,600 people of the human race at the level of Dukes and God-Kings. Among them, there are more than 600 God-Kings in the Abyss Realm alone, and there are even more in the more ancient Immortal Realm.

Therefore, the Immortal Realm and the Abyss Realm can be considered the two holy lands of the human race.

"According to records, the Initial Realm has a diameter of over 360 billion light-years and contains hundreds of divine kingdoms, making it significantly larger than the Abyss Realm and the Immortal Realm..."

Lin Qing sighed inwardly, "With the destruction of the Origin Realm, the human race has weakened by at least 30%... However, even at its peak, the human race was not as powerful as the Void God Race, mainly because of their large numbers, but the Void God Race had too many top experts..."

He turned his head slightly and looked at the main cosmic membrane, which seemed like an endless barrier, like heaven and earth.

Compared to the vast main universe, even the Immortal Realm and the Abyss Realm are as insignificant as a mung bean clinging to a football.

Any celestial body or wonder in the endless chaos appears far too insignificant compared to the main universe.

The only exceptions are the Cosmic Tree and the Star Abyss.

Suddenly, a vast and boundless aura emanated from the heights of the Abyss Realm, sweeping across Lin Qing with overwhelming force, accompanied by a gentle male voice containing a hint of a smile:

"Could it be the Grand Duke Taishi of the Realm of Kings?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qing immediately cupped his hands and said, "Lin Qing greets the Lord of Lin Yuan Realm. I have come here to visit a friend."

His title of Duke was 'Duke Taishi'.

"Shi" refers to the beginning of the initial state, while "Tai" means beyond or incomplete.

Taking this title also signifies that the initial realm is not yet complete and that the goal has surpassed the previous initial realm.

He was discovered before he even entered the Lin Yuan Realm, which means that only a universe master who completely controls the Lin Yuan Realm could do this.

It is said that the Lord of the Abyss Realm is not the dual-rule inner universe, but the God-King who cultivates the future rules and ascends to the top.

This Lord of the Abyss Realm also understood that his own strength was insufficient. After reaching the top, he only gained complete control over his home universe, and his strength did not improve much. Therefore, even though the Abyss Realm had an opportunity to ask a World God to refine a pillar-level universe treasure, he gave it to the strongest person in the Abyss Realm—the Heavenly Capital God Lord.

For example, the Lord of the Immortal Realm is the Lord of a dual-rule divine kingdom. After reaching the top, he will naturally control the pillar-level cosmic treasure.

"Visiting a friend? Come in."

As the gentle male voice rang out, Lin Qing noticed a cosmic passage slowly appearing before her.

Without hesitation, he flew into it.

If it were any other average Duke or Divine Lord, even if they entered the Abyss Realm, the Lord of the Abyss Realm wouldn't care.

Following the cosmic passage, Lin Qing soon appeared in front of a temple.

A tall man dressed in black armor was sitting on the steps in front of the palace gate, looking at Lin Qing with a smile.

"Greetings, Lord of the Abyss Realm," Lin Qing said, bowing.

"I've heard that another being has emerged in our human race who rivals the Azure Flame Domain Lord of the Mother River Clan, so I simply wish to meet him."

The Lord of the Abyss Realm looked at Lin Qing with great interest. "Now that I see him, it's clear that Lord Tai Shi is no ordinary person. He actually possesses the bloodline of a second-generation Void God Clan?"

"Just lucky." Lin Qing shook her head slightly.

He wasn't surprised that the Lord of the Abyss Realm could see his bloodline.

If you're out in public, it's normal that the other person wouldn't notice.

However, in the Abyss Realm, this is a small universe completely controlled by the other party, where his aura and life essence can be easily detected, so naturally it cannot be hidden from this universe master.

"Tian Du also mentioned you."

The Lord of the Abyss Realm smiled and said, "He thinks you've risen too fast and might be stuck at the ultimate level for a long time. But I think... the ultimate level can't stop you either. We even made a bet. I bet you'll achieve the ultimate level within a billion years. Don't let me lose."

"A billion years?" Lin Qing was taken aback.

The Lord of the Abyss Realm said, "It is indeed difficult. The fastest person in the history of our human race to open up a dual-rule inner universe took more than three billion years. But you yourself are a miracle, and perhaps you will create another miracle?"

"That should be fine." Lin Qing didn't explain further, since he would be able to achieve the ultimate goal in a few million years anyway.

"Quite confident, huh?" The Lord of the Abyss Realm chuckled.

He then asked, "Are you here to visit a friend?"

“Yes.” Lin Qing nodded and said, “My good friend from my hometown became a disciple of the God of No Cause back then.”

"Qi Lingxiao, I've known him for a long time," the Lord of Lin Yuan Realm said with a smile.

"A long time?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.

“It must have been hundreds of billions of years,” the Lord of the Abyss Realm exclaimed. “I knew him even before the Abyss Realm was created.”

Lin Qing was startled and couldn't help but ask, "Qi Lingxiao, could he be the reincarnation of the ultimate being of the Abyss Realm?"

He had long suspected that Master Qi might be the reincarnation of the ultimate being of some civilization.

Moreover, such incredible luck is clearly very special.

“Yes.” The Lord of the Abyss Realm sighed, “Strictly speaking, he was originally a genius of the Beginning Realm, and he was also fortunate enough to refine the unique bloodline of the Chaos Creature, ‘Supreme Fortune Saint Child’.”

"The Holy Son of Extreme Fortune?" Lin Qing's heart stirred.

"Yes, a special chaotic creature that is naturally favored by endless chaos."

The Lord of the Abyss Realm said, "With such a person favored by the endless chaos, the entire civilization will benefit from it, for example... making it easier to ascend to the ultimate position."

He sighed, “After I achieved the ultimate, I wanted to transform my hometown into a transcendent civilization. So I invited geniuses from all over to reincarnate in my hometown, trying to cultivate two ultimate beings in my hometown. I also received guidance from the Lord of the Beginning Realm and invited Guangyuan... that is, your fellow townsman Qi Lingxiao, to reincarnate in my hometown and ask him to improve the fortune of my hometown.”

Lin Qing's heart stirred, and she suddenly understood something.

"Guangyuan is indeed concerned about the human race."

The Lord of the Abyss Realm sighed, "He had long mastered the complete rules of spacetime, but in order to allow the human race to have more transcendent civilizations, he deliberately did not transform into eternity, and reincarnated time and time again into those excellent human race level two civilizations in the main universe, so that the human race could give birth to more transcendent civilizations."

He sighed, "Moreover, because his existence is so special, the human race cannot make his existence public, so some civilizations are still unaware that they received his help." Lin Qing understood what he meant.

Once eternity is achieved, there is no way to reincarnate into a Type II civilization in the main universe.

Therefore, Qi Lingxiao deliberately avoided the Eternal Transformation in order to be reborn into a Level Two Civilization that had the potential to transform into a transcendent civilization.

Those who are favored by the endless chaos have a greater chance of ensuring the eternal existence of their homeland and attaining the ultimate position.

However, the method of reincarnation is harmful to the soul.

Even an eternal being cannot reincarnate repeatedly. The more times one reincarnates, the greater the damage to the soul. At best, it can result in memory loss; at worst, it can lead to the collapse of the soul.

"pity……"

The Lord of the Abyss Realm shook his head and said, "Back then, Guangyuan was just a high-level chaotic being who had not yet achieved eternity, and his soul could not reincarnate many times."

He looked at Lin Qing and said, “After the human race gave birth to dozens of transcendent civilizations, his soul was about to give out, so it stopped. After truly transforming into eternity and even the ultimate, it just so happened that my Lin Yuan Realm gave birth to a new divine kingdom, and the Shi Realm also wanted to cultivate my Lin Yuan Realm, so I let him reincarnate into my Lin Yuan Realm and gave him a divine kingdom.”

Lin Qing then realized.

It turns out it really was the effect of a mascot.

He asked again: "What happened next?"

"Later... the Beginning Realm perished."

The Lord of Lin Yuan sighed and said, "Guang Yuan has always been very loyal to the Beginning Realm. After all, it is his true hometown and the place where he was born."

"So... when he discovered that a trace of the original essence of the Beginning Realm had transformed into a life-bearing planet, he chose to reincarnate back into the new Beginning Realm, wanting to use his own fortune to help the newly born Beginning Realm."

At this point, he shook his head slightly, "But he has reincarnated too many times, and his soul is already severely damaged. This reincarnation has caused him to lose too many memories."

“No wonder Master Qi has no memory…” Lin Qing said slowly.

“He doesn’t care about memories at all,” said the Lord of the Abyss Realm. “He knows that his greatest role is to improve the fortune of a civilization, making it more likely to obtain the ultimate position. His own strength is not important.”

Lin Qing shook her head slightly as she recalled the past.

No wonder Earth has faced many crises, yet it has repeatedly overcome them, and the chances of producing geniuses are significantly higher.

"You plan to reincarnate and return to your hometown in the future, right?" the Lord of the Abyss Realm said. "You don't need to rush him back. At least wait until you successfully reincarnate and achieve the ultimate goal before letting him return to his hometown, so that you can better protect him."

“I understand.” Lin Qing nodded slightly. “I just wanted to see how Qi Lingxiao was doing.”

"Should I bring him here?" said the Lord of the Abyss Realm.

"Okay," Lin Qing nodded.

Immediately, the Lord of the Abyss Realm pointed his finger, and with a distortion of space and time, a figure appeared in front of him.

It was Qi Lingxiao.

However, Qi Lingxiao's aura is now at the Eternal level.

"Master Qi, it's been over thirty million years since we last met, hasn't it?" Lin said with a smile. "Don't you miss your hometown?"

"Lin Qing?"

Qi Lingxiao was slightly taken aback, then said with a mixture of surprise and delight, "Why did you take so long to arrive? I've long heard that your fame has spread throughout the human race. With such great abilities, why did you only come to save me now?"

"Save you?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.

"I want to go back to my hometown too!"

Qi Lingxiao gritted his teeth and said, "But the people from the Abyss Realm won't let me go back. They insist that I have enough strength to protect myself before we talk about it. Even my clone can't leave the Abyss Realm!"

Lin Qing was taken aback.

No wonder... When Qi Lingxiao was taken away by the Lin Yuan Realm, he didn't even leave a clone behind in his hometown, so there was no way to communicate with him.

The Lord of the Abyss Realm beside him shook his head and said, "Guangyuan... Qi Lingxiao, your strength is too weak, and the situation is too special. If you are discovered by the alien race, once you leave the Abyss Realm, the enemy will definitely kill you. With your strength, even if your clone is found by the enemy, it is easy to be completely annihilated."

He looked at Qi Lingxiao and said, "Either you achieve the ultimate goal or become a god-king, otherwise why would I let you leave?"

"How much longer?" Qi Lingxiao shook his head slightly.

The Lord of the Abyss Realm laughed, “Originally it would have taken a long time, but now it’s not necessarily the case… Your fellow countryman is now the strongest being below the ultimate existence of my human race. Once he achieves the ultimate, he can easily protect you in the main universe.”

"Oh?" Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but look at Lin Qing and asked, "How much longer?"

"It'll be soon," Lin said with a light laugh. "Then we'll be waiting for you, our mascot, to return to your hometown."

"I was once the strongest on Earth, how did I become a mascot..." Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"Master Qi has become an eternal being in just over 30 million years, that's quite impressive," Lin Qing exclaimed.

Qi Lingxiao is, after all, the soul essence of the God Kingdom's ruler, so his progress is naturally not slow.

"Time has sped up considerably," Qi Lingxiao shook his head. "How can I compare to you?"

"Everyone has their own job."

Lin chuckled and said, "I'll let you know when I return home after I've achieved my ultimate goal."

……

After chatting with Qi Lingxiao for several months, Lin Qing bid farewell and left Lin Yuan Realm.

After returning to the Realm of Kings and making some preparations, not many years later, it was time for the various human civilizations to head to the fifth-order cosmic battlefield.

"Is everyone here?"

In front of the Temple of Heavenly Light, Lin Qing, dressed in a white battle robe with gold trim, stood on the steps and glanced at the powerful figures of the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom below before saying, "Then let's set off for the main universe."

"Uncle-Master," the ape below spoke up, "Why don't we join up with the Primordial Divine Kingdom and the Myriad Seas Divine Kingdom and set off together?"

The summons from the Void God Clan requires the Kings Realm to send one hundred of their most outstanding Eternal Peak experts and all the Dukes. The Primordial God Kingdom and the Myriad Seas God Kingdom have suffered heavy losses, and apart from those few Dukes, they can only send fifty of their most outstanding Eternal Peak experts.

"Anyway, we were originally enemies, and this is just a temporary alliance. Even on the battlefield in space, there is no need for too much cooperation."

Lin casually said, "There's no need to wait for them. We can head directly to the main universe. The Void God Clan has already prepared the 'Alliance Hall' for our Human Race and the Machine Race. We can meet there."

He immediately waved his hand, and a chaotic treasure resembling a glass flying boat appeared in mid-air.

The flying boat 'Glorious Heaven' is considered a rather high-grade Chaos Treasure, usually only qualified to be piloted by the ruler of a divine kingdom. However, this time, in order to bring honor to the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom, his master specially gave him this flying boat.

With his strength, although he could only unleash a portion of the treasure's power, it could still serve as a major base for the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom on the cosmic battlefield.

"Rumble--"

The 'Glorious Sky' flying boat immediately broke through the air and entered the river of time and space, beginning its astonishing journey towards the main universe.
