Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 438 The Cradle of the Cosmic Gods!

Within the primordial realm, where the vast chaotic air currents permeated, gusts of gray wind could be seen howling past. Lin Qing stopped after hearing that deep voice.

"you are?"

Lin Qing looked around and had a faint feeling that the entire Primordial World was speaking to him.

"Me?" the deep voice said. "Come to the Primordial Peak of the Ninth Domain of the Primordial Realm, and you will see me. Consider it a small test. For someone who has gained the favor of more than one Cosmic God, this test should be nothing, right?"

"The Ninth Domain? The Primordial Peak?"

Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.

Of the nine domains of the Primordial Realm, the Ninth Domain is the most dangerous. Even the rulers of high-level divine kingdoms who wield pillar-level cosmic treasures can only guarantee their own safety.

Only the progenitors of the World Gods could roam freely in the Ninth Domain.

He is currently only at the seventh domain, but the danger here is already enough to make even the ruler of a high-level divine kingdom struggle to move forward.

Just like this vast chaotic current, it is essentially formed by the extreme condensation of endless chaotic energy. Its oppressive force is strong enough to make even the ruler of a high-level divine kingdom have difficulty moving and cannot exert much of his strength.

These gusts of gray, swirling winds are enough to severely damage the physical body of a high-level divine kingdom ruler, and there are also other dangers brought about by the natural environment.

Like torrential rain, dense fog, sandstorms, tsunamis... the environmental dangers in the primitive world are all very ordinary and primitive, but also very terrifying.

The gravitational pull from the distortion of the chaotic void layer is enough to make it difficult for even the rulers of advanced divine kingdoms to fly.

In other words, his will is strong enough that he can achieve success relatively easily even without using a pillar-level cosmic treasure.

"I am waiting for you."

The deep voice didn't say anything more, and then fell completely silent.

Lin Qing had no time to explore slowly. He immediately activated his natal treasure, transforming into a stream of light that tore through the raging winds and sped towards the Ninth Domain, deeper within the Primordial Realm.

With his strength, the seventh and eighth domains would be no challenge for him.

He forcefully broke through all obstacles without searching for any rare treasures, and in just a few thousand years, Lin Qing arrived at the Ninth Domain.

Yuanxiang Peak is located deep in a sea area of ​​the Primordial Realm, where hurricanes and tsunamis often occur. These are common disasters for planetary civilizations, but in the Ninth Domain of the Primordial Realm, they are terrifying calamities that can easily annihilate the rulers of advanced divine kingdoms!
Looking into the distance, it is clear that the spacetime in this sea area has been completely shattered and collapsed, and the chaotic void layer is also broken beyond recognition.

Whether it's the power of the tsunami undercurrents or the might of the hurricane, it's enough to make even the most powerful beings who wield pillar-level cosmic treasures tremble in fear!
Once trapped in it, one can only rely on pillar-level cosmic treasures to save their lives.

"boom!"

With a single slap in the air, Lin Qing shattered a wave that was crashing towards him, the wave, thousands of light-years high, disintegrated and dispersed.

He immediately continued to travel at high speed.

Although he did not break through using the ultimate rules of chaos, his pillar-level natal treasure, coupled with the support of his super strong mental will, was more than enough to handle the situation.

Moreover, there's no point in breaking through now. He can't generate the origin of a divine kingdom on his own; he can only rely on the divine kingdom of his home universe to replenish it. His own divine kingdom origin alone is not enough for transformation.

"Yuanxiang Peak".

Before long, Lin Qing saw the enormous mountain peak that stood amidst the endless tsunami and hurricane, appearing and disappearing, its height unknown, perhaps tens of thousands of light-years, and it was incomparably majestic.

The tsunamis and winds here are even more terrifying; a single wave can easily annihilate many high-level divine kingdom rulers!
Lin Qing also felt it was quite difficult to overcome one obstacle after another before she barely managed to climb to the top of the Yuanxiang Peak.

At the mountaintop, numerous tree-like crystal clusters, emerging from the ground like bamboo shoots in spring, can be seen constantly absorbing a large amount of primordial energy, exuding a unique and wondrous aura reminiscent of the origin of a divine kingdom.

These tree-like clusters of crystals are called the 'Trees of the Divine Kingdom'. They naturally contain the unclaimed essence of the divine kingdom, which can be used to replenish the energy of the ruler of the divine kingdom.

"I have arrived."

Lin Qing looked around, her voice echoing as her will surged forth.

"Your strength is not bad." The deep voice sounded, with a hint of doubt in its tone: "But with just this level, how did you gain the favor of two cosmic gods?"

"What? Am I not strong enough?" Lin Qing asked.

"It can only be considered excellent under normal circumstances."

The deep voice said, "But a ruler of a divine kingdom with such strength has appeared countless times in the endless chaos over the long years. It's not unusual, and there's no indication that he has any hope of becoming a cosmic god. How could he possibly gain the favor of a cosmic god?"

"Oh?" Lin Qing said, "Then what level is considered qualified to gain the favor of a cosmic god?"

"At least we should be able to withstand the thunderous power of the Ninth Domain head-on, right?" the deep voice said.

"Thunder?"

Lin raised an eyebrow slightly.

On ordinary planets, thunder is an extremely terrifying force of nature, and in this Ninth Domain of the Primordial Realm, the power of thunder is also extremely terrifying.

Even the ruler of a high-level divine kingdom can only barely survive with the help of a pillar-level cosmic treasure, but it is not enough to withstand it head-on. If it is subjected to too many lightning strikes from the Ninth Domain, even a pillar-level cosmic treasure may be damaged!

This demonstrates the terrifying power of the Ninth Domain's Thunder.

Only the progenitors of the realm gods could easily resist this thunderous wrath.

"Although you are not outstanding, you have at least gained the favor of two cosmic gods, so perhaps there is a sliver of hope that you will become a cosmic god."

The deep voice said, "According to the rules, I can only give you a 'second-class' gift at most."

"The second-class gift?" Lin Qing asked thoughtfully, "What is the second-class gift?"

"What do you need?" the deep voice asked.

Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "Are there any treasures that can help in battles at the level of the strongest god-king?"

"The level of the ruler of the strongest divine kingdom?"

The deep voice sounded somewhat puzzled, "You already have a pillar-level natal treasure, so where would you find a treasure that could be of greater help? Besides... no matter what kind of treasure it is, it's impossible for you to contend with the level of the strongest god-king, unless you control a completely transcendent and perfect alien universe."

"Another universe?" Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat.

“Yes.” The deep voice said, “After a small universe grows to the limit of 380 billion light-years in diameter, if a cosmic god guides the transformation with the ultimate rules of chaos, the small universe can be transformed into the final form of ‘alternate universe’.”

Lin Qing suddenly understood something.

Star Abyss, the Cosmic Tree.

There's also the Dream Palace mentioned by the God of the Universe.

Aren't these special celestial bodies the final form after the small universe has gradually transformed?
"The alternate universe has been able to exist completely detached from the main universe, drifting in endless chaos."

The deep voice said, "Moreover, the alternate universe can absorb the origin of the main universe to continue growing. As long as it absorbs enough, it may even surpass the main universe."

Lin Qing nodded inwardly. The fact that Xingyuan could devour other main universes clearly indicated this situation.

"If you can become the ruler of the divine kingdom in the other universe, your strength will naturally far surpass your current level." The deep voice said, "Of course, it will also be difficult to gain the recognition of the other universe. If you are not the creator, you either need to be strong enough or make enough contributions, such as helping the other universe obtain enough of the main universe's origin."

Lin Qing seemed to be deep in thought, and gained a better understanding of the situation regarding the Cosmic Tree and the Star Abyss.

From this perspective—

The Three Realms Gods and the Three Primordial Ancestors are not the 'Lords of the God Kingdom of the Main Universe' as speculated, but rather the Lords of the God Kingdom of the Cosmic Tree and the Star Abyss!
The Three Realms Gods and the Three Primordial Ancestors were already so powerful before they obtained the authority of the Cosmic Gods, which was obviously because they became the gods of the Cosmic Tree and the Star Abyss!
With such power, coupled with the authority of a cosmic god, he was naturally incomparably powerful.

"What about the main universe?"

Lin Qing asked curiously, "How can one become the ruler of a divine kingdom in the main universe?"

"The ruler of the divine kingdom of the main universe?" the deep voice said. "Each main universe is the foundation of endless chaos, so there is no way there could be a ruler of the divine kingdom! Or rather... the ruler of the divine kingdom of the main universe is the three great cosmic gods formed by the rules."

Lin Qing was slightly taken aback.

Is it impossible for the main universe to have a divine kingdom?
The three cosmic gods of the past, present, and future are the rulers of the divine kingdoms of the main universe.

"The main universe is the cradle that gave birth to the God of the universe."

The deep voice said, "If a being in the main universe can become the master of a divine kingdom based on the ultimate rules of chaos, and wield all authority in the main universe, becoming the master of the main universe, then they can use the vast and boundless power of the main universe to transform into a true cosmic god!"

"Cradle?" Lin Qing's heart skipped a beat.

At that moment, he finally understood—

"No wonder the main universe felt a calling to me when I achieved the ultimate rules of chaos...No wonder the Three Realms Gods and the Three Primordial Ancestors were willing to do anything to annihilate those who achieved the ultimate rules of chaos..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath.

As alien universes, the Cosmic Tree and the Star Abyss aim to plunder the origin of the main universe, making them enemies of the beings in the main universe!
Once a Cosmic God is born in the main universe, the Void God Clan and the Star Abyss Demon Clan will not only lose the main universe as a feast, but more importantly, they will be retaliated against and annihilated by the Cosmic God!

This is the beginning of a threat to the extinction of the race. How could the Void God Clan and the Star Abyss Demon Clan possibly let it go?

Even though Princess Su wasn't the ultimate being back then, she had already mastered the three major spacetime rules, and it was possible that she could use them to create an inner universe in the future. Letting her go unchecked would naturally be a major problem.

"No wonder the God of the End Times demanded the collection of the six great powers..."

Lin Qing now understood completely.

Isn't this the condition for becoming a cosmic god?
The Primordial Universe God was born naturally from endless chaos and can be called the Innate Universe God, while the Final Universe God is what the main universe craves.

After all, the main universe is the cradle that gave birth to the cosmic gods!
Thank you for your explanation.

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "What else is in the second-tier reward? If it's not useful for the strongest god-king level, is there anything that can help my small universe? For example, something that can make my small universe grow to the level of an alien universe in one go?"

"...How is that possible?" the deep voice said. "A second-class treasure can at most allow your small universe to grow to the limit of 72 billion light-years in a short period of time, and achieve the level of a demigod civilization in a short time."

"Really?" Lin Qing's eyes lit up, and she asked, "What about the first-class treasure?"

"Even a first-class treasure cannot allow your miniature universe to grow to the level of an alien universe."

The deep voice said, "The key to transforming a mutated universe is that the master of the universe must master the ultimate rules of chaos. At most, even the first-class treasure can only allow your small universe to grow rapidly to the limit of 380 billion light-years."

"I see..." Lin Qing suddenly realized.

"Forget it. According to the rules, you're not qualified for a first-class treasure." The deep voice said, "Do you need a treasure that can help your miniature universe?"

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then asked, "Who made the rules?"

“He is the creator of this primordial world,” the deep voice said, “and also the guardian of the order of endless chaos.”

"Oh?"

Lin Qing seemed to be thinking about something, but didn't ask any more questions. He immediately activated the Descent into the Future, arriving one second later.

He then said, "I am not at my strongest right now. Give me some time to break through."

"Breakthrough?" The deep voice sounded somewhat puzzled.

next moment--

Lin Qing closed her eyes, immersing her consciousness in the universe within her body.

"boom!"

At this moment, the universe within his body began to shatter and reassemble according to the ultimate rules of chaos, transforming towards the direction of the real universe.

At the same time, the tree-like crystal pillars around him, which contained the origin of the unclaimed divine kingdom, began to shatter one after another. A massive amount of divine kingdom origin was absorbed into his inner universe and continuously transformed into the third kind of divine kingdom origin, shaping the third divine kingdom!
Although this is not his home universe, these extremely precious 'Trees of the Divine Kingdom' can provide him with the divine essence for his transformation!
Of course, this place is too far from our home universe, so we can't receive the support from our home universe, and our strength is naturally not as good as last time.

But... it's terrifying enough already.

"Rumble--"

In an instant, an incomparably terrifying aura emanated from the area, and at the same time, it continued to surge at an astonishing speed.

As each tree of the divine kingdom shattered, endless divine kingdom essence surged and converged. At this moment, Lin Qing seemed to transform into the center of an endless vortex, frantically absorbing this ownerless divine kingdom essence and constantly transforming himself.

A terrifying pressure emanated from the area.

At the same time, the distant main universe also sensed it, and a strong sense of calling followed.

"You...you are..."

The deep voice was filled with barely suppressed horror.

After a moment, Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes and said, "Alright, now let's see if I'm qualified. Hurry up, or the enemy will be here soon."

The deep voice remained silent for a long while before speaking again: "I see..."

The next moment, a terrifying bolt of lightning, seemingly capable of destroying the universe, descended from the sky and struck Lin Qing with a deafening roar.

Lin Qing stood still, not moving, only slightly raising her head to glance at him indifferently.

"Om-"

An invisible force suddenly erupted, and the seemingly destructive lightning vanished without a trace, without even a ripple.

Then, Lin Qingcai said, "Well? Can it be considered a successful test now?"

The deep voice slowly said, "So you're only one step away from becoming a Cosmic God. No wonder both Cosmic Gods favor you... You're truly remarkable. You naturally deserve the first-class gift."
