Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 414 The Future Returns
"Of course it's useful. After all, the inner world of the Devouring Universe Monarch is just a normal dual-rule world, and his own mental will is not very strong."

Tianyang Divine Lord paused for a moment and sighed, "However, the effect of Huanyue Divine Lord's Illusionary World Annihilation is also very limited. His physical body, which is comparable to the ruler of the Body Refining Divine Kingdom, is simply too powerful. The physical body naturally contains a powerful will, which greatly reduces the effect of Huanyue Divine Lord's Illusionary World Annihilation. It can only reduce his strength by one or two tenths."

"One or two percent?" Lin Qing nodded slowly.

In this light, the physical body, comparable to that of the ruler of the Body Refinement Divine Kingdom, indeed possesses extremely strong resistance to the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World.

You must know that his mental will is already strong enough. Even if he used the Illusionary World Annihilation Technique against Yu Gong, it would reduce Yu Gong's strength by 55%. Yu Gong has cultivated a World God inheritance that is specifically designed to defend the soul and will!
However, the will of the Illusion Moon God was stronger than his, and the Great Annihilation of the Illusionary World could only reduce the strength of the Devouring Universe Monarch by one or two tenths.

This shows that the physical body of the Devouring Universe Monarch is much more resistant to attacks of will than the inheritance of the World God!
This is also normal.

How terrifying is the physical strength of the Lord of the Body Refining Divine Kingdom?
Such a powerful physical body naturally contains a strong will, so it's already quite remarkable that the Illusionary Moon God could reduce its strength.

"Our clan has already given up on the matter of mental will." Tianyang Divine Lord shook his head and said, "Although Mr. Lin Qing's Illusionary World Annihilation power is good, it cannot shake the consciousness of the Devouring Universe Monarch, and it is probably difficult to reduce his strength."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, tacitly agreeing.

"I've heard that Mr. Lin Qing has also practiced 'The True God of the Heart' and 'Walking in the Illusion'."

Tianyang Divine Lord said, "With Mr. Lin Qing's strength, he should be stronger than me, second only to the three 'Minor True Gods' of my clan."

"Little True God?" Lin Qing nodded slowly.

The true gods of the Void God Clan are all rulers of their own divine kingdoms.

Lesser True Gods are the strongest beings in the eternal realm of the Void God Clan, possessing a small portion of the strength of True Gods.

The Illusionary Moon God was one of them.

The Illusionary Moon God is famous for his soul techniques, with willpower being merely an auxiliary means. It is said that his soul has undergone a great transformation, making it far more powerful than the souls of many ultimate beings.

However, given the terrifying physical body of the Devouring Universe Monarch, the effect of his body protecting his soul under the unity of body and spirit must be extremely astonishing.

The soul techniques of the Illusionary Moon God are probably meaningless.

"Besides the Illusion Moon God, our clan's 'Absolute God' also had a fortuitous encounter, and his physical body was tempered by a chaotic artifact."

Tianyang Divine Lord said, "However, Jue Shenjun is only comparable to the Body Refining Divine Kingdom's ruler in terms of his heart and right hand, so he is still no match for that Devouring Universe Monarch."

Lin Qing kept this information in mind and then asked, "Where is the Primordial God? I've heard that the Primordial God is the strongest below the ultimate level of the God Race, right?"

"The inner world of the Primordial God-King once merged with a fragment of a chaotic universe," said the Heavenly Yang God-King. "He is extremely terrifying in terms of domain, even approaching the divine domain of the God-King."

He sighed, "It's a pity... The Star Abyss Demon Clan's Chaos Treasure 'Cosmic Tablet' possesses a complete spacetime domain, and even has some of the essence of the ultimate rules of chaos. It can dissolve the domain of the Primordial God-King. Otherwise, with the advantage of the domain, we wouldn't have been defeated so quickly."

Lin Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

It's no wonder that the Void Gods suffered repeated defeats on the cosmic battlefield. With the appearance of the 'Cosmic Monument' and the terrifying physical body of the Devouring Universe Monarch, most of the Void Gods' advantages were suppressed.

"If the Star Abyss Demon Clan's only advantage is the Devouring Universe Monarch, our clan is not unable to withstand them. Simply having a strong physical body only means they are not easy to kill, and the threat is not that great."

Tianyang Divine Lord took a deep breath and said, "If there is only the Cosmic Monument but no Devouring Universe Monarch for protection, our clan's strong attack will make it difficult for the Star Abyss Demon Clan to solidify the Cosmic Monument. Moreover, only the Devouring Universe Monarch's physical body can withstand the endless source power descended by the Cosmic Monument. Other Star Abyss Monarchs cannot have such terrifying combat power."

Lin Qing didn't say anything.

These are all just assumptions.

In fact, the Star Abyss Demon Clan not only possesses the terrifying physical body of the Devouring Universe Monument, but also the incredible Cosmic Monument.

The Void Gods were clearly caught off guard, losing four fifth-order cosmic battlefields in succession. They were at a loss for what to do, which is why they forcibly summoned all the highest combat forces of the Human and Machine races.

"The Divine Lord Tianyang".

Lin Qing suddenly asked, "I heard that if someone loses all six battles in the fifth-order cosmic battlefield, they have to pay some kind of additional price?"

"Yes." Tianyang Divine Lord nodded slightly. "I don't know the specifics either. It was a bet between the three World Gods and the three progenitors of Xingyuan. But I remember that when my clan won a great victory, the progenitor of Xingyuan seemed to be furious on the spot, and the Xingyuan Demon Clan also lay dormant for a long time before resuming its activities."

Lin Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

The extra cost that the Three Primordial Ancestors and the Gods of the Three Realms could use as a wager must have been something extremely important to them.

“Xingyuan has been trying to erode the main universe, and our race has resisted for so many years.” Tianyang Divine Lord sighed, “If we ultimately lose to Xingyuan, the fate of the main universe… will be unpredictable.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Other details are unclear, but the Void Gods have indeed been resisting the invasion of the Star Abyss for countless years.

And the Star Abyss is indeed a terrifying symbol of destruction and negativity, constantly destroying countless beings and worlds throughout the universe in a way that is called Great Annihilation, thereby plundering the origin of the universe.

Without the Void Gods, who knows what this universe would be like.

Therefore, the human race still feels grateful to the Void Gods. Even if the Void Gods had other motives, they did genuinely help the human race.

of course……

Some of the eternal and ultimate beings of the human race betrayed the human race and the Void Gods, willingly being assimilated by the Star Abyss and joining its side.

Historically, during the intense war between the Void Gods and the Star Abyss Demons, the entire Star Beast race rebelled and joined the Star Abyss, leading to a major defeat for the Void Gods.

Even some of the weaker void creatures in our former home, the Void Sea, have betrayed humanity, let alone those at higher levels.

……

In just a few years, the Void Gods, Humans, and Machine Race powerhouses on the battlefield of destruction were either driven out or destroyed.

In the water screen image, only the Star Abyss Demon Clan remained on the entire battlefield.

The Star Abyss Demons began to destroy the weak points of the cosmic battlefield world. In just a few hundred years, the entire cosmic battlefield was transformed into an endless source of destruction, which was completely absorbed by the Star Abyss, which was in a negative position in the universe.

After destruction, there is the original nature.

As the endless natural primordial energy of the universe converged, a new battlefield began to slowly take shape.

"The new battlefield is estimated to take only 380,000 years to form."

Tianyang Divine Lord said, "Mr. Lin Qing can wait in the Alliance Hall. After our clan's experts have finished resting, they will come here to discuss tactics with the human and mechanical races."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

After all, many powerful warriors lost their main battle avatars in this battle, and it would naturally take time for them to relearn secret techniques, reforge their natal treasures, and rebuild their inner worlds.

Fortunately, there is the path of divine office and cosmic treasures. The cost of cultivating eternal treasures is much lower than that of cultivating god-level secret techniques.

……

Ten thousand years later, inside the Alliance Hall.

Inside the vast hall, powerful beings at the God-King level from both the human and mechanical races had gathered together.

There were more than 2,500 powerful beings at the God-King level, which was almost all the God-King level powerhouses of the entire human race and the machine race.

The human race has over 1,600 individuals at the God-King level, while the machine race has approximately 900 powerful individuals at the 'Transdimensional Sage' level—the interpreters of the dual-spacetime rules recognized by the machine race.

"Grand Master Tai Shi, I am the No. 277 Super-Dimensional Sage of the Machine Race's Tama Civilization."

"Master Wan of Baixuan Realm greets Mr. Lin Qing."

"I have long admired the name of the Great Lord Tai Shi. I am finally able to see your true face. I am..." When Lin Qing led the group from the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom into the hall, many powerful figures from various civilizations immediately came over. Their attitudes were very enthusiastic, and some even seemed quite respectful.

After all, the title of the strongest under the ultimate human race had already spread far and wide.

Furthermore, the fact that the Heavenly Lord Tianyang personally came to pick up Lin Qing had already shocked and caused a sensation among all parties.

Naturally, many people wanted to befriend him.

The hall already had thousands of seats arranged, and each seat seemed to be the same size and appearance, with nothing special about them.

However, the powerful figures of each civilization are all quite self-aware.

The front seats are reserved for the Void Gods. Without sufficient background and strength, who would dare to sit in the front row of this gathering?
Soon, the Void God Clan's God-King level experts also arrived.

There were only about thirty people in total.

Most of them are third-generation Void Gods, with only a handful being second-generation.

This is also normal.

While the bloodlines of the Void Gods across three generations can generally achieve eternity, those who can go further and achieve the ultimate are extremely rare, not to mention the even more difficult path of becoming a God-King.

As for the second-generation bloodline?
Almost everyone can become a true god, and very few possess dual rule talents, so naturally, very few intentionally remain in the eternal stage.

These individuals, who possess the bloodline of the second generation of the Divine Race but have yet to achieve their ultimate goal, clearly harbor immense ambitions.

"Mr. Lin Qing, please come to the first row as well."

Then, the Heavenly Lord walked in from outside the hall and spoke directly to Lin Qing.

Lin Qing didn't say much. He walked to the first row of seats and sat down next to Tianyang Divine Lord amidst the surprised and envious gazes of the group of humans.

The only people in the entire Void God Clan stronger than him are those three Lesser True Gods. If he isn't qualified to sit in the first row, then very few people in the entire Mechanical Clan and Human Clan are qualified.

Among the human race's King Realm members, Yu Gong stared indifferently at Lin Qing's back, a murderous intent rising in his heart.

"Your last chance will come when you are reborn..."

Ever since he realized that Lin Qing might be protected by a future World God, and that even the World God was now just going through the motions with him, he had given up on killing Lin Qing.

But Lin Qing's weak period after his reincarnation is his last chance!

"Humans? What do they have to do with me..."

Yu Gong's eyes were cold and piercing. "So what if I'm a World God now? I possess the secrets of a Cosmic God, and the Ancestor of Yama will still welcome me!"

……

Soon, the three minor true gods of the Void God Clan also arrived.

The Divine Lord of Illusionary Moon was like a stunningly beautiful woman of the human race, with eyes as deep and unfathomable as the endless abyss, and a smile on his lips that possessed a strange charm that captivated the soul, as if he were born to command the submission of all living beings.

His gaze lingered briefly on Lin Qing as he swept over her, a slight smile playing on his lips as a greeting.

The God of Absolute God was a man with a human body and a snake tail, similar to the snake-people. His right arm was wrapped with strange seals that resembled layers of bandages, and one could vaguely sense the incredible power within them.

The Primordial God, also in human form, is the strongest among the Void Gods. His expression remains indifferent, seemingly devoid of joy or sorrow.

"Many of the high-ranking members of the Void God Clan seem to have human characteristics, some even looking exactly like humans..."

Lin Qing pondered to herself.

Legend has it that the cosmic god who created everything was in the form of a human. Therefore, since the beginning of the universe, the human race has been extraordinary, with strong reproductive ability, wisdom, and comprehension.

Therefore, some races in the universe also like to transform into human form, or rather, they want to be closer to the form of the cosmic gods.

"Fellow allies, the sixth fifth-order cosmic battlefield—the Natural Origin Battlefield—is still about 370,000 years away from being born and formed."

The Primordial God said indifferently, "At that time, it will be a life-or-death battle between us and Xingyuan. I urge everyone not to be complacent in the slightest. This battle may determine the final outcome between our clan and Xingyuan. Once we are defeated, the consequences will be unimaginable. We cannot afford to be lax in the slightest."

He swept his gaze across the battlefield and said, “I believe you all already understand Xingyuan’s tactics, which is a head-on battle without any strategy. Xingyuan’s side uses the ‘Devouring Universe Monarch’ as its core and continuously solidifies cosmic monuments on the cosmic battlefield, while all our attacks will be blocked by the Devouring Universe Monarch.”

Lin Qing had also seen the replay of the battle, so he naturally understood.

Once the 380 cosmic monuments are fully erected, they will form a near-real miniature universe, frantically absorbing the power of the universe's origin. After the power of the formed miniature universe's origin is added to the Devouring Universe Monarch, the Devouring Universe Monarch will possess combat power that truly rivals the Lord of the God Kingdom!

No one can deal with the Devouring Universe Monarch; he cannot be killed or sealed away.

The Star Abyss Demon Clan was also not greedy at all. They focused on the Devouring Universe Monarch as the core and, with the Devouring Universe Monarch's invincible body, solidified only one cosmic monument each time. Each time it took more than a hundred years, and they forcibly solidified one cosmic monument after another in the cosmic battlefield.

Once the 380 cosmic monuments are completed, the situation will be settled.

"Once the cosmic monument is solidified, it is indestructible and cannot be affected."

The Primordial God said, "Therefore, we only have two paths—either to stop the Devouring Universe Monument before the 380 cosmic monuments are formed, or to use our lives to delay the Devouring Universe Monument during the final battle, causing it to over-stimulate the cosmic monuments and wait for them to become ineffective."

Lin Qing couldn't help but shake her head inwardly.

Faced with this absurd situation, the Void Gods indeed had no good solutions and could only resort to brute force and try.

However, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it seems that this is the only way.

Then came the discussion of the operational details and personnel allocation.

"Mr. Lin Qing, please serve as the commander of both the human and machine races."

The Primordial God glanced at Lin Qing and made a decision without further ado: "Although Mr. Lin Qing is skilled in illusory movement and the Great Extinction of the Illusionary World, he should not act recklessly in hopes of supporting the battlefield, otherwise he will only be wasting his life."

Without saying much, he proceeded to assign the next commander.

Lin Qing didn't seem to mind.

Although what the other party said wasn't pleasant to hear, it was indeed the truth.

……

Soon, another 300,000 years passed.

The primordial battlefield will take tens of thousands of years to solidify, and all races are preparing for the upcoming war.

On this very day—

"Having arrived in the future, I have recovered."

Lin Qing slowly opened her eyes, suppressing the inner universe creation method in her mind that was almost identical to the main universe, and couldn't help but take a deep breath, "Finally..."

Without the slightest hesitation, his eyes reflected layers of future lines, instantly locking onto the moment before the arrival of the ultimate position.

Immediately——

"It will arrive five million years from now!"
