Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 416 The Future God's Surprise

After her consciousness returned to reality, Lin Qing slowly opened her eyes, still inside the Alliance Hall of the Central Hunyuan Plane.

Everything was calm and still.

Compared to the terrifying apocalyptic scene that just unfolded, it was like two extremes.

"Just as I expected, once I break through, it will be discovered..."

Lin Qing sighed inwardly, "So it was because His Highness Su transformed his inner world using the three major spacetime rules that he was eliminated, and even the entire Origin Realm perished as a result..."

The gap is too big.

Even though he broke through the three major spacetime rules and became an unprecedented ultimate existence, he still felt powerless to resist when facing the Star Abyss Ancestor who came with the power of endless star abyss!
Just as he had anticipated—

If he had first transformed into the inner world of the Three Rules, he would have had no chance to achieve the ultimate.

First, one must achieve the ultimate goal, opening up a dual-rule inner universe from the dual-rule inner world, and then evolving a triple-rule inner universe!
"Becoming the ruler of a divine kingdom might not be enough... one would also need a pillar-level cosmic treasure, preferably a natal treasure..."

Lin Qing felt no sense of security at all when she thought of that incredibly terrifying scene.

Even if he became the ruler of a divine kingdom by mastering the three major spacetime rules, he still couldn't guarantee that he would be able to protect himself in front of the Star Abyss Ancestor.

Therefore, he would do his best to improve in any area where there was a possibility of progress.

"However, the strength of my consciousness..."

Lin Qing silently sensed the strength of her consciousness at this moment, and her will slowly burst forth, causing the surrounding space and time to distort and collapse.

He then stopped.

"As expected... my future self and my consciousness have merged again."

A slight smile appeared on Lin Qing's lips.

He only used less than one-thousandth of his will just now, yet it far surpassed his will after being fully amplified by the Mind Walker clone!

The improvement is enormous!
Although he didn't understand why such a special thing was happening to him, it was undoubtedly a good thing, and it raised his consciousness to the level of the ultimate existence of the three time-space rules!

"Based on the reasoning, compared to the ruler of a divine kingdom with dual-spacetime rules, the difference is at least not significant..."

Lin Qing nodded to himself, a vague judgment forming in his mind.

The ultimate existence of dual-spacetime rules, in terms of mind, will, strength, and so on, is similar to the ruler of a divine kingdom under a single-spacetime rule.

If we add another layer of spacetime rules and raise the level, the mind and will should at least be close to that of a god-kingdom with dual spacetime rules.

Logically speaking, at the moment he broke through to the next level of life, his life level should have been very close to that of the Lord of the Dual-Rules Divine Kingdom, except that he lacked the blessing of the Divine Kingdom's origin.

and……

Lin Qing vaguely sensed that the inner universe of the three major spacetime rules was extraordinary, perhaps even stronger than expected.
However, there has never been an ultimate existence of the three major spacetime rules, nor has the inner universe of any ultimate existence been a real universe, so it is difficult for him to make a judgment.

"In any case, this fifth-tier cosmic battlefield should no longer pose any threat to me..."

Lin Qing completely relaxed. "Even the Devouring Universe Monarch, who possesses the physical body of the Lord of the Body Refining Divine Kingdom, has only so-so mental will. His physical resistance is useless. Once I unleash the Illusionary World Annihilation with all my might..."

He now even suspects—

If he were to unleash the Illusionary World Annihilation with all his might, would he wipe out all the enemies on the entire fifth-order universe battlefield in one move?

If one's mind and will are close to that of the ruler of the dual-rule divine kingdom, it is indeed possible to achieve this!
That would be a bit too outrageous.

"That's too much..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath. "If it's just the mental will of a God-King, then I can explain it by having had a great adventure. But if it's a level stronger, then that's just too inconceivable..."

Over the past 30 million years, he has also ventured into the endless chaos many times.

In addition to visiting various chaotic wonders, he also went to find the eternal being 'Hongnuo' who had helped him at the beginning of his reincarnation in the King Realm.

Since Yu Gong's strength no longer poses a threat to him, Hong Nuo naturally no longer needs to hide in the depths of chaos.

After sending Hong Nuo to the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom and giving him some world treasures and a large amount of Chaos materials, he allowed Hong Nuo to cultivate in peace in the Heavenly Light Divine Kingdom.

Then his main combat avatar continued to roam and explore the endless chaos.

"Just say that I stumbled upon a chaotic opportunity similar to 'a dream of the heart and the gods,' and make it as ambiguous as possible."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "The endless chaos is so vast that even the Void God Clan only knows a part of it. As long as I speak ambiguously, making it theoretically possible, no one will doubt me."

On the other hand—

Before his first return to the future, he had never imagined that... there could be such a thing as merging with the consciousness of the future in the endless chaos?
Therefore, as long as it is kept within a reasonable range, it is still quite safe.

"When I killed Lord Yu, as long as I used a little trick, no one would suspect me..."

Lin Qing nodded to herself.

After pondering for a while, he took out the Future Realm Token bestowed upon him by the Future Realm God and activated it.

……

Future world.

"Is something wrong?"

The gentle voice of the future god echoed throughout the heavens and earth.

"World God," Lin Qing said respectfully, "I have come to the future today to see the outcome of this war, but I have discovered something."

The God of the Future said softly, "Tell me about it."

Lin Qing didn't mince words and immediately said, "I suspect that among the Dukes currently participating in the war, one of them is a traitor to the human race."

The future God of the Realm paused for a moment, then said, "Lord Yu, is that so?"

"So the God of the Realm really knew?" Lin Qing said.

The God of the Future paused for a moment, then said, "What good will knowing do?"

He sighed softly, “Yu Gong has already rebelled and is under the protection of the Ancestor of Yanfu. In the Central Hunyuan Plane, we World Gods cannot intervene. This is also the place where the Cosmic Tree and Xingyuan fight, and it is difficult to determine the winner. When he leaves the Central Hunyuan Plane, under the protection of the Ancestor of Xingyuan and Xingyuan, we will not be able to kill him even if we try.”

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

So the God of the Future knew everything, but also knew he couldn't change anything?
"Didn't the Future God foresee the Feather Guild's rebellion in the future?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"can not see."

The future world god slowly said, "We world gods are of the same rank as the progenitors, and we also possess the means of cosmic gods. I can see their future at any time, but they are also constantly changing their future. Many things... are ultimately impossible to see clearly."

Lin Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

“Just like your future, I always thought I saw it clearly, but in reality, it has proven me wrong time and time again,” the Future God said softly.

"Then... what if we kill Lord Yu now?" Lin Qing asked.

"Then they will be captured and killed by the current World God who controls the Cosmic Tree."

The future God of the Realm slowly said, "This is the oath that the current God of the Realm made with the True Self Oath Stone. He doesn't care about Yu Gong's life, but the oath he made back then was... if Yu Gong dies, he must do everything in his power to find the murderer who killed Yu Gong and kill him."

"All out..." Lin Qing suddenly realized.

Even if the God of the Realm disdains to slaughter indiscriminately for Lord Yu, as long as evidence can be found and the murderer is discovered, then action will be necessary.

"Moreover, from my observation, no one in the current Central Hunyuan Plane can truly kill Lord Yu."

The future world god said, "One of his main battle avatars is hiding in the Mirror Moon Sea, and he has cultivated a soul-type world god inheritance. Even the Illusion Moon God Lord cannot be affected by illusions against him, let alone kill him."

A smile appeared at the corner of Lin Qing's eyes as she said, "That's true."

"That's all."

The God of the Future sighed and said, "Our race is doomed to defeat this time. We hold the reins of this universe... but we will eventually have to give up a part of it."

"Power?" Lin Qing's heart stirred.

As expected, the fact that the Devouring Universe Monarch was able to break into the Void Sea and forcibly kill him, and that the Cosmic Tree reacted so slowly, clearly indicates a change from the past! So... after their defeat, the price the World Gods paid was a portion of the authority of this universe?

"World God."

Lin Qing suddenly spoke up: "You just told me... that in the end, you believed the Void Gods lost this war?"

"What?" A subtle fluctuation appeared in the tone of the future God of the World, as if he had guessed something.

"The future I experienced was not like that."

Lin Qing said, "I discovered in the future that the Void God Clan won!"

The next moment, he suddenly saw a gray-haired man's silhouette appear before him, staring at him with slight excitement, and asking, "Are you sure?"

"I'm sure," Lin Qing nodded.

"This... in the entire Central Chaos Plane, the only one I can't see through is you." The Future Realm God Eye looked at him with a strange and mysterious gaze. "Do you have a trump card or the strength to change the course of the battle?"

"Have."

Lin Qing nodded slowly, and immediately with a thought, she released a little bit of her will, and a vast and illusory world descended into reality.

"You..." The future God of the World's eyes lit up, looking at him with a mixture of surprise and delight. "Good, good, good! You actually had such a great encounter that I had never noticed. You are indeed an existence beyond my observation!"

Lin Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

What he knew in the future was that the Void Gods had been defeated, because before he descended into the future, he did not possess such a mental will to turn the tide of the battle.

But if that's the case, wouldn't the future God of the World be able to guess this as well?

The future he experiences will naturally not exceed his own predictions, just as he sees the existence of anti-entropy beings in the future.

Therefore, if he simply says that he knows from the future that the Void Gods have won, the Future God will naturally assume that he already possessed such a powerful mental will in the past.

"If this succeeds, you will be a great hero of our clan."

The future God of the World looked at him with a smile and said, "As long as you win, you can say whatever you want."

"Alright." Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "However, I haven't cultivated the second level of the 'Great Extinction of the Illusory World' yet. I still need several thousand merit points to exchange for the Eternal Enchanted World Flower King. Could the World God give me a few thousand merit points in advance?"

"What in advance?"

The God of the Future immediately shook his head and said, "I'll just give you a portion of the Source of the Mysterious Realm, enough to allow you to cultivate the Great Extinction of the Illusory World to the third level in one go."

"The Source of the Mysterious Realm?" Lin Qing's eyes lit up, and he immediately cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, God of the Realm."

"Compared to your achievements, this is nothing but a small matter." The future world god smiled and said, "If you have truly made such an achievement, I can decide to forge a pillar-level cosmic treasure embryo for you."

Lin Qing was overjoyed and nodded, saying, "I understand, but... may I change my request?"

"As long as it can be accomplished, feel free to suggest it," the Future God said with a smile.

"Then thank you in advance, God of the Realm," Lin Qing said, cupping his hands in thanks.

……

As time passed, Lin Qing quickly cultivated the "Great Extinction of the Illusory World" to the third level after receiving the Origin of the Mysterious World from the Future God.

"The first level is the main suppression and obliteration of consciousness."

"The second layer severs causality and the connection of consciousness."

"The third level focuses on damaging the will. Even if it cannot directly destroy the enemy's consciousness, as long as the enemy's will cannot withstand it, it can damage and weaken the opponent's will time and time again."

Lin Qing's mind was filled with all the key points of "The Great Extinction of the Illusory World," and he couldn't help but smile. "It's done."

Even those with the mental fortitude of a duke cannot cultivate the third level of the Great Extinction of the Illusory World; it is usually the mental fortitude of a god-king who can easily succeed in cultivating it.

With his current willpower, cultivating the third level is more than enough!
"In another three million years, the second descent will be able to restore things. Then we can consider 'transforming the illusory into the real'..."

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "The higher the level of treasures I can access, the more likely I am to bring back even better treasures from the future..."

He has fused with the 'Heart of the Future', which allows him to cast an additional Descent into the Future.

However, when he used the Heart of the Future before, it was nearly 38 million years later, so there are still more than 3 million years of 'cooldown time' left.

"Hmm... In another 30,000 years, the sixth fifth-order cosmic battlefield will be formed."

Lin Qing looked leisurely out of the temple, his gaze piercing through time and space, and could see the massive battlefield world that was about to take shape high in the sky, tens of thousands of light-years long.

……

Meanwhile, in the Mirror Moon Sea, which is far away.

The black flame clone, sitting cross-legged in the underwater world, suddenly opened its eyes. Its immense and unparalleled will transformed into an invisible domain that spread out and enveloped the entire Mirror Moon Sea world.

Unbeknownst to anyone, the Black Flame clone was observing them through the domain formed by his will.

Such a terrifying aura spread out, and with a single thought, it could instantly annihilate all living beings within the Mirror Moon Sea world.

To completely eradicate them at the level of consciousness.

Furthermore, all causal connections are severed, and no one can transmit the message.

The so-called immortality is nothing but a joke in his eyes.

"hold on."

Lin Qingwei narrowed her eyes slightly, "Let Lord Yu see the desperate situation of the Star Abyss Demon Clan with his own eyes. Let's make our move after he's completely desperate..."

……

Tens of thousands of years pass in the blink of an eye.

The sixth fifth-order cosmic battlefield in the central Hunyuan Plane, high in the sky, could be fully formed at any moment.

It was clear that a shadowy abyss had already covered the natural battlefield, where large numbers of demons, mother river races, source races, and star beast races could descend at any time.

Several thousand powerful figures at the level of Dukes and Gods of the Void God Clan took the lead, confronting the large army hidden deep within the Star Abyss. Behind them were countless peak Eternal Realm experts, already formed into battle formations, ready to storm the battlefield and launch a major battle at any moment.

"Gentlemen, please do your best."

The Primordial God Lord's gaze swept over the many powerful humans and mechanical beings, lingering briefly on Lin Qing before he frowned slightly and said, "Mr. Lin Qing, please enter the core of the battle formation. If you face the Devouring Universe Monarch later, we won't be able to spare the time to save you."

"It's alright, I still have some tricks up my sleeve," Lin Qing said. "After discussing it with the World God, I feel that I can take on more responsibility."

"A method bestowed by the God of Realms?"

The Primordial God was slightly taken aback. Although he was a little surprised that the Future God had not bestowed his methods upon his own people, he said no more. He simply reminded him, "Even so, do not be arrogant. The terror of that Devouring Universe Monarch is far beyond your imagination."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "I understand."

In the distance, within the Star Abyss, which resembled a vast shadow, many powerful figures from the Star Abyss Demon Clan were observing the Void God Clan through the cracks in the Star Abyss.

"That human is actually at the forefront?"

A Star Abyss Demon, covered in deep blue scales and with enormous fleshy wings on its back, observed the Void God Clan with great interest. "He seems to be one of the more famous humans lately? His name is Lin Qing?"

It is the strongest member of the Star Abyss Demon Clan in this war—

Devouring Universe Monarch!

Not far behind it, a skeletal-like powerhouse engulfed in pale white flames spoke in a low voice: "My lord, that human's title is Tai Shi Gong, known as the strongest human. He seems to be often compared to me, the strongest of the Mother River Clan."

"Oh? Lord Cangyan does have some tricks up his sleeve. His strength is enough to rank him among the top three in our race. How can this human be compared to you?" Lord Devourer of the Universe laughed.

"Perhaps it's just an empty reputation."

The Lord of Azure Flame Domain said calmly, "Humans love to exaggerate and boast, but they don't know that my illusion techniques in terms of soul and will are stronger than my Dao of Flames. How could Lin Qing's Illusionary World Annihilation shake my mind?"

"Then I'll hand him over to you later," the Devouring Universe Monarch said casually. "Is that alright?"

"It's a trivial matter. If I can't kill him even with the support of the Cosmic Monument, then I'm not worthy of the Ancestor's nurturing," the Azure Flame Domain Lord said calmly.
