Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 427 The Origin of the Entropy Reversers
The temple gates slowly opened.

Lin Qing stepped inside and was immediately sucked into the space-time inside the temple.

All around was a state of ignorance and chaos.

A human statue, roughly the height of a normal person, stands silently in the center of this chaos.

"Human statues?"

Lin Qing took a closer look and realized that the statue was actually the 'God of the End Universe' carved on the temple gate.

The instant he saw this statue of the ultimate cosmic god—

Chaos prevails, but order endures.

When you hold order in your hands, the future becomes clearly visible. You can then reverse cause and effect, reap the rewards, and anticipate the future.

At this moment, the anti-entropy agent activated on its own.

"Ok?"

Lin Qing carefully observed the reaction of the anti-entropy beings, but found that this time was different from the previous two times, and there was no prompt such as "[Found an absorbable source]".

At that moment, a low sigh suddenly rang out—

"Finally... finally a new successor has arrived here..."

Lin Qing suddenly looked up.

A huge, illusory face slowly emerged in the sky, looking at him with some curiosity.

“You are…” Lin Qing began.

"Like the two divine generals outside the door, I am merely a guardian spirit formed from the condensed power within this final universe temple," the enormous, illusory face said.

Lin Qing suddenly realized and said, "You just said that I am the new successor?"

The enormous, illusory face said, "Before you became the ruler of the divine kingdom, you were able to enter this final universe temple and comprehend the three major spacetime rules. Naturally, you are qualified to become a successor."

It paused, looked at Lin Qing with a half-smile, and said, "Besides... you also have the 'Entropy Reverser'."

"Huh?" Lin Qing's pupils suddenly contracted.

"What? Surprised?"

The enormous, illusory face laughed and said, "When you entered this space-time last time, I already discovered the Entropy Reverser who had merged with you. Didn't you ever wonder where the Entropy Reverser came from?"

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "Could it be related to the God of the End Universe?"

"The Primordial Universe God created the highest-level celestial body in the endless chaos of the main universe. It is the highest-ranking existence in the endless chaos, controlling the three powers of nature, power, and destruction. Nature is the source of all life, power can set rules, and destruction can unify all things. It occupies half of the present world and all the past."

The enormous, illusory face said, "The End God of the Universe is the other side that was born from the beginning. It controls the three powers of life, order, and chaos. Order and chaos are the laws governing the development of the main universe, while the characteristic of life is entropy reversal, which can be used to regulate order and chaos. Therefore, the End God of the Universe occupies half of the present world and all of the future."

Lin Qing understood somewhat.

No wonder when the Entropy Reverser is activated, the phrase "All things tend towards chaos, only order is eternal" appears; so that's what it means...

Moreover, life itself is an anti-entropy agent.

"Those who reverse entropy originally came from the Temple of the End Universe."

The enormous, illusory face said, "It is the ultimate application of space and time by the God of the End Universe. The more possibilities there are in the future, the more future lines it can seize."

Lin Qing understood what it meant.

He could only observe the 760 most probable future lines himself, so he couldn't observe those future lines with very low probabilities.

But the anti-entropy is different. It doesn't care how many future lines there are. As long as there is a possibility in the future, even if it is infinitely close to zero, as long as it is not zero, it can realize it in advance!
In a sense, turning the virtual into the real can bring any physical object from the future into the present, while advance payment is bringing future capabilities into the present.

“But… what a coincidence that the Entropy Reverser chose me?” Lin Qing suddenly said.

The enormous face laughed and said, "You think it's a coincidence because the Entropy Reverser chose you, but it chose you precisely because you are the most suitable for it in the universe."

Lin Qing asked doubtfully, "Am I suitable to be an entropy reverser?"

"You've come this far, so it's certainly fitting," the enormous, illusory face said. "Throughout countless years, six hundred and fifty-one beings have been known as anti-entropy beings, but... very few have actually reached this stage."

"So many people have become Entropy Reversers?" Lin Qing asked in surprise.

"Those who reverse entropy can only anticipate a possible future, but if it is a future that does not exist, even those who reverse entropy can do nothing about it."

The enormous, illusory face said, "Even with warnings of a change in order, some dangers are unavoidable. If you are not careful, you may still die, and... there are many situations where you cannot anticipate them."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, understanding its meaning.

The Entropy Reversal Techniques were indeed the main reason he got to where he is today, but there are some secret techniques or inheritances that he couldn't master, so naturally he couldn't use them in advance.

If he lacked the comprehension and the right circumstances, it would have been difficult for him to reach this point.

Especially the path of spacetime rules, which cannot even be anticipated.

"However, where is the God of the End Times? Why was the Entropy Reverser released?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

The enormous face laughed and said, "The God of the End Universe does not exist, or rather, He has not yet been born. He is different from the Primordial God of the Universe. The Primordial God was formed from the rules of endless chaos and was born to create this main universe. However... all systems within the universe tend towards chaos, which will eventually lead to the destruction of the entire universe."

It whispered, "The ultimate universe god is to balance the chaos of the universe and maintain order, so that the main universe can live longer. This is also the meaning of the birth of life."

Lin Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

Isn't this the basic function of an entropy reverser?
"If you can pass the test of the God of the Universe, you will become the true successor of the God of the End Universe."

The enormous, illusory face said, "Of course, if you fail, the Entropy Reverser will return to this final universe temple."

"A test of inheritance?" Lin Qing asked.

"The test has only one requirement," the enormous illusory face said. "Before the main universe enters its period of decline, collect the six powers of nature, life, order, power, destruction, and chaos."

Lin Qing was taken aback.

Collecting the authority of the six realms?

He couldn't help but ask, "Do you know that the authority of the Six Paths resides with the six cosmic gods?"

"Cosmic Gods?" The enormous, illusory face laughed and said, "Those six can only be considered half-cosmic gods. Of course... to destroy you now, it would only take a flick of a finger."

Lin Qing said helplessly, "Then how am I supposed to collect the authority of the Six Paths?"

"As the inheritor, you can reclaim your authority by killing those six people," the enormous, illusory face said.

"Kill?" Lin Qing was taken aback. "What kind of strength would that require?"

“I don’t know either,” the enormous, illusory face said. “But within the endless chaos lies all possibilities, and hope can always be found.”

Lin Qing shook her head slightly and asked again, "As the inheritor, do I have any special benefits?"

"Isn't being an entropy reverser the greatest advantage?" the enormous, illusory face countered. Lin Qing replied, "Besides being able to unleash the power to transform the illusory into the real?"

"Oh? You've already found it?" The enormous, illusory face scrutinized Lin Qing. "However, the origin of the Entropy Reverser is related to inheriting the position of the God of the End Universe. You must first collect the Six Paths Authority before you are qualified to inherit it."

It suddenly said, "By the way, didn't you ask what the benefits would be?"

As it finished speaking, a ray of light suddenly burst forth from the center of the brow of the final universe god statue, and the light went straight into Lin Qing's brow.

In an instant, Lin Qing discovered that the Entropy Reverser had gained another function.

With a thought, a huge three-dimensional map immediately appeared in his mind.

"This map is... the main universe, and endless chaos? Are these smaller universes various civilizations?"

Lin Qing asked in confusion, "What are these glowing dots on the map?"

The enormous, illusory face said, "Don't you want the origin of the Entropy Reversers? I'll lend you a sliver of the power of the End of the Universe God; you can go find the origin of the Entropy Reversers yourself."

"Oh?"

Lin Qing's eyes lit up, and she immediately began to observe carefully.

Given the speed at which his mind works, no matter how vast the map is, the origins of the anti-entropy beings are only so numerous, and he quickly investigated them all.

"There are a total of 380 units of the Entropy Reverser origin."

"I absorbed two units myself."

"The Cosmic Tree, the future World God's treasure trove actually has two units there?"

"Similarly, in the Cosmic Tree, there was a unit in the past World God's Treasury, and now the World God also has a unit."

"The three progenitors of Xingyuan also have three units of anti-entropy origin."

Lin Qing quickly discovered the origin of the anti-entropy beings that existed near the main universe.

The enormous, illusory face said, "After all, this was formed from the origin of the End Universe God. Even if those six Universe Gods could not use the origin of the Entropy Reverser, they could still discover its special features and suspect that it was related to the Primordial Universe God, so they would try their best to keep it."

"But... even among the World Gods and the Star Abyss Ancestor, they are only a tiny minority. The entire periphery of the main universe only has eleven units of origin..."

Lin Qing couldn't help but look at the remaining three hundred-plus units of the Entropy Reversal Source, "These three hundred-plus units of source are so far away from the main universe, they're deep in the endless chaos, I don't know how far..."

Even at the speed at which his illusory form moves, judging from the distance, the two units that are furthest apart would probably take trillions of years, or even countless years!

It's too far, too far.

Even such a vast universe is but a drop in the ocean compared to the boundless chaos.

"That's normal. The anti-entropy beings... or rather, the end-of-universe gods, have a history that is much longer than that of the main universe."

The enormous, illusory face said, "The position of the God of the End Universe has not only appeared in this one main universe, but has also appeared in other main universes in the endless chaos."

"Does the endless chaos contain many main universes?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.

“I don’t know,” the enormous illusory face said. “But there shouldn’t be many. In any case, in the main universe where the position of the God of the End Universe appeared, the Entropy Reversers may have chosen successors from among them. Therefore, the origins of the Entropy Reversers are scattered throughout the endless chaos.”

“No wonder…” Lin Qing finally understood.

No wonder the Entropy Destroyers have had hundreds of masters; it seems that almost all of them were from other main universes in the past.
“This entire main universe only has eleven units of origin.” Lin Qing shook his head slightly. “Moreover, the progenitor of the World Gods collected seven units.”

Moreover, he himself obtained the origin of two of the units.

In other words, before he could face the progenitor of the World Gods, he could only find two units.

"Can turning the virtual into the real bring back the origin of the Entropy Reverser from the future?" Lin Qing asked suddenly.

"how is this possible?"

The enormous face chuckled and said, "The so-called supreme miracle of 'turning the void into reality' can only be achieved by relying on the origin of the entropy reverser. This would originally be rejected by the rules of endless chaos, but the origin of the entropy reverser resisted it for you. Therefore, a unit of origin only has one chance."

“Alright…” Lin Qing shook her head slightly, since she didn’t have high hopes anyway. “At least we have two more chances, which isn’t bad.”

"You should first try to collect the six powers of this main universe."

The enormous, illusory face said, "I suggest you explore the endless chaos more. Some chaotic wonders, though not as high in status as the main universe, may give birth to miracles comparable to cosmic gods."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

That was his original plan.

Once his strength improves further, he will venture into the endless chaos to explore.

Especially the 'Mind Realm', which demands extremely high levels of mental fortitude.

……

After leaving the Temple of the End Universe, Lin Qing returned to his home universe.

In just a few hundred thousand years, the future world god had already refined the embryo of a pillar-level universe treasure. It only needed to refine the three universes to become a true pillar-level universe treasure.

"There's still a chance to obtain the two units of the Entropy Reversal Source. One unit is in the Mother River, and the other unit is in the Star Beast Clan's demigod-level civilization, 'Beast God Realm'..."

Lin Qing couldn't help but shake his head slightly, "If I were willing to expose my strength, I could snatch that unit of cosmic origin from the Beast God Realm..."

However, he does not want to reveal his pillar-level natal treasure unless absolutely necessary.

"Let's go to the Realm of the Mind first. If I can get through the Realm of the Mind, I can openly demonstrate my advantage in terms of mental will..."

Lin Qing seemed to be deep in thought. "However, before that, I should be able to improve my mental will by another level."

He now possesses a spiritual will at the level of a high-level divine ruler.

Such mental fortitude makes it extremely difficult to break through the mental realm; there's at most a 20-30% chance.

"Another chance to come to the future has been restored."

Lin Qing closed his eyes and immediately used the Descent to the Future technique to travel to the next second of the future.

then--

With a wave of his hand, a dark golden, nine-tiered pyramid-shaped pillar-level cosmic treasure immediately appeared above his palm.

"In this future timeline, let us use you as the pillar for the transformation of the Mountain and Sea Realm into a miniature universe."

Lin Qing smiled slightly, "Perfect... let's see what those six will do after they discover that I possess a pillar-level cosmic treasure?"

As the ultimate being of dual spacetime rules, and possessing a pillar-level cosmic treasure, he could naturally have transformed his homeland, the Mountain and Sea Realm, into a level three civilization long ago. However, this natal treasure cannot be exposed in the light, so he dares not reveal it in reality.

But the future will be different.

"If I succeed in opening it up, I can become the ruler of a high-level divine kingdom, and then break through again using the ultimate rules of chaos..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and immediately took a step, arriving at the origin of the Mountain and Sea Realm, preparing to allow the Mountain and Sea Realm to transcend the main universe.
