Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 441 Swallowing the Cosmic Tree

"Trouble..."

After Lin Qing's consciousness returned from the future, he slowly opened his eyes and frowned slightly. "The Lord of Star Abyss doesn't actually exist in the future?"

He has already tried it in the future.

But the Lord of the Star Abyss does not exist in the future.

Just like the Temple of the End Universe, when he arrived in the future, he discovered that the Temple of the End Universe did not exist at all, and seemed to exist only in the 'present'.

And the Lord of the Star Abyss, who is lurking in the shadows, seems to be in the same situation?
"what happened……"

Lin Qing took a deep breath. "The progenitor of the World Gods, and even the God of the Heart, all exist in the future timeline. The only exception is the Temple of the End Universe. The Lord of the Star Abyss actually has such a strange ability?"

However, he could vaguely guess that the God of the Universe in his heart had probably deliberately made him meet him in a future timeline.

But he never expected that the Lord of the Star Abyss would also have such abilities!
"This is troublesome..."

Lin Qing couldn't help but take a deep breath.

No matter how formidable an enemy may be, there is always hope of dealing with it once you understand it.

What I fear most is an enemy I know absolutely nothing about!

What level of strength?

What abilities do you have?
What other cards do you have?
I don't know at all!
"Let's improve it as much as possible..."

Lin Qing slowly calmed herself down, "I'd better go ask at the Temple of the End Universe..."

……

"Oh? You're already the ruler of a divine kingdom?"

Within the chaotic Temple of the End of the Universe, only the statue of the God of the End of the Universe stands silently, as if it would not change through endless ages.

The enormous, illusory face looked Lin Qing up and down from above, its eyes filled with surprise.

"I had some fortuitous encounters in the Primal Realm." Lin Qing nodded slightly.

He now understands completely.

The main universe is essentially the cradle that gives birth to the cosmic god, or rather... the cradle that gives birth to the position of the cosmic god.

The position of the cosmic god born from this main universe is the final cosmic god.

Within the endless chaos, there must have been other main universes that also gave birth to the position of the God of the End Universe. Therefore, the origin of the Entropy Reverser was scattered in all directions of the endless chaos, but it just so happened to choose him now.

The purpose of this Temple of the End Universe is to guide the birth of the God of the End Universe.

Of course, the prerequisite is that the six powers of nature, life, order, might, destruction, and chaos must be collected.

"Your current strength is not bad, but compared to those six flawed cosmic gods, the gap is still huge." The enormous illusory face sized up Lin Qing. "You've come to see me for something else, haven't you?"

Lin Qing got straight to the point: "I want to ask why this Temple of the End Universe doesn't exist in the future? After I arrived in the future, I couldn't find this temple."

"Of course you can't find it."

The enormous, illusory face laughed. "The past is a trace, the future is an illusion, only the present is real. Every cosmic god is eternal and unique, possessing the characteristic of unifying all time and space."

"All time and space return to one?" Lin Qing was shocked.

"What? You've figured it out?" The enormous, illusory face said with a half-smile, "Being an anti-entropy user can also grant you some of the characteristics of uniformity."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "That's right. No wonder my consciousness merges with the future every time I return, and my consciousness strength directly reaches the level of the future timeline... Is this what they mean by returning to oneness?"

"Yes, this is the lowest level of unification."

The enormous, illusory face said, "The true Cosmic God is one with all power, and is not bound by any constraints. He can grow infinitely, and his future is infinitely long, so his strength is also limitless. Every Cosmic God is like this, representing the highest level of power in the endless chaos."

Lin Qing paused for a moment, then said, "I can confirm that the Lord of the Star Abyss is hiding in the Star Abyss, but he doesn't exist in the future timeline either. Could it be that he also has the characteristics of a cosmic god?"

"That's natural."

The enormous, illusory face said, "This is true for any other universe lord. After obtaining that portion of the cosmic god's authority in another universe, the past and future are locked and contained. They no longer exist in the past or future. Whether they descend into the past or the future, it is impossible to find any trace of the other universe lord."

"So that's how it is..." Lin murmured, "So this is how the masters of other universes are?"

“Yes, that’s why the Lord of the Other Universe is so difficult to deal with.” The enormous illusory face said, “We can’t find any trace of the past, nor does it exist in the future. We can only rely on our strength to deal with it.”

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

But he was feeling rather down.

He had originally thought that he could use the threat from the Star Abyss Overlord to get the Three Realms Gods of the Void God Clan to help him.

However, faced with a lord of an alien universe who does not exist in either the future or the past, he could not prove the true existence of the Lord of the Star Abyss.

However, whether the gods of the Three Realms help him or not is of little significance.

"Be careful."

The enormous, illusory face said, "Even if you become the ruler of the strongest divine kingdom and obtain one of the six cosmic divine powers, it will probably be difficult for you to contend with the ruler of another universe."

"Is the Lord of the Other Universe that powerful?" Lin Qing asked.

"I have followed the position of the God of the End Universe and have experienced the destruction of many main universes, most of which were destroyed by the lords of other universes."

The enormous, illusory face exclaimed, "The power of the Lords of the Other Universe is indeed formidable. They are all powerful to begin with, and with the added strength of the Other Universe, as well as some of the authority of the Cosmic Gods, they are many times stronger than those six flawed Cosmic Gods."

Lin Qing seemed to be deep in thought.

The progenitor of the World Gods was actually the ruler of a divine kingdom in another universe, plus a fragmented cosmic divine authority.

However, his own cultivation level was too low, so he was only comparable to the ruler of the strongest divine kingdom.

The Lord of the Other Universe receives a greater blessing from the Other Universe, possesses more powerful divine authority, and is also stronger and more advanced in terms of power and realm.

Normally, even the ruler of the strongest divine kingdom could not be a match for the ruler of another universe.

"The methods of some other universe lords are also quite mysterious."

The enormous, illusory face said, "Some have even received the inheritance of a cosmic god, so it's difficult to judge their strength."

Lin Qing paused for a moment, then nodded and said, "Thank you for your guidance."

Regardless, he did his best.

……

……

Time goes by.

The vast and incomparable Mountain and Sea Realm became increasingly prosperous and powerful, but Lin Qing, the Lord of the Universe, rarely appeared, as he had been in seclusion cultivating.

His true form remained at the Mountain and Sea Realm, pondering various battle tactics to improve his strength as much as possible.

Meanwhile, the five avatars went into the endless chaos, trying every means to collect all kinds of treasures, materials for refining pillar-level cosmic treasures, and some special chaotic treasures.

He had already exchanged for the useful treasures in the Void God Clan's treasury.

After piecing together various pieces, he finally managed to gather another pillar-level cosmic treasure, and with some good luck, he refined it into the Black Flame Avatar's natal treasure.

At the same time, they also collected several Chaos Treasures that were of great help.

……

Like the calm before a storm, time has flowed quietly for tens of millions of years.

The deepest part of the Star Abyss.

The Star Abyss Eye, as vast as a miniature universe, was greedily gazing upon the Mountain and Sea Realm.

In the past, this Star Abyss Eye didn't care about any demigod-level civilization. But now it's completely different.

The Star Abyss Eye's desire for the Mountain and Sea Realm even surpasses its desire for the main universe!

The Lord of the Star Abyss, millions of light-years high, sat quietly cross-legged within the Eye of the Star Abyss.

Suddenly--

"Okay."

The Lord of the Star Abyss opened his eyes and said, "My injuries have healed, and I can make my move now."

The three progenitors all looked at the Lord of Star Abyss, their eyes filled with excitement.

"Shall we make our move now?"

The Lord of Star Abyss swept his gaze over the three Star Abyss Ancestors.

Of course, in reality, his injuries had only just stabilized, and they would relapse once he took action.

But... that's enough.

He did not believe that anyone in this remote and weak universe could withstand Him.

Only the Lord of another universe is qualified to challenge him.

"The three of us have been waiting for this day for countless years, and we have long been prepared."

"Yes, I can't wait a moment longer."

"We beg the Lord of Star Abyss to take action."

The three progenitors all spoke respectfully.

"Alright." The Lord of Star Abyss nodded slightly and said casually, "Then let's do as agreed. I will stop the Cosmic Tree and the God of the Three Realms for you. You go and destroy the Mountain and Sea Realm, let Star Abyss devour it, and bring me the Lord of the Mountain and Sea Realm."

The three founding ancestors immediately nodded.

"only……"

The Ancestor of the Other Shore said, "The three of us were originally conceived by the Cosmic Tree. After the Three Realms God became the ruler of the Cosmic Tree's divine kingdom, he was also able to sense our location. Once the three of us take action, before we can even unleash our power, the Three Realms God and the Cosmic Tree will probably have already descended."

This is also why, for countless years, the gods of the Three Realms and the three progenitors have never had the chance to kill each other's subordinates in their battles.

—Unless the gods of the Three Realms deliberately allow it.

"It doesn't matter."

The Lord of the Star Abyss calmly said, "Before you take any action, I will stop the Three Realms Gods to ensure they have no chance to affect you. Once you have fulfilled my request, I will take action on your behalf and kill the Three Realms Gods."

Before discovering the special nature of the Mountain and Sea Realm, He originally intended to risk a relapse of his injuries to destroy the Three Realms Gods and allow the Star Abyss to devour the main universe.

But now that He has discovered that destroying the Mountain and Sea Realm first will allow Him to recover from His injuries, He will naturally not fight any longer.

As long as the Mountain and Sea Realm is destroyed, not only can a large amount of alien universe origin be obtained, but also the secrets about the universe god on Lin Qing's body can be obtained!

He appeared calm, but in reality, he was even more impatient than the three progenitors.

"In that case..."

Upon hearing this, the ancient ancestor said in a low voice, "I alone am enough to destroy the Mountain and Sea Realm. It will only take a little time. A mere Mountain and Sea Realm is not worthy of the three of us joining forces."

He looked at the Ancestor of the Other Shore and the Ancestor of Yama and said, "Lin Qing has many clones. I will capture his main body, and you will find an opportunity to capture his clones alive."

"Small things."

The progenitors of the other shore and Jambudvipa immediately nodded slightly.

A hint of anticipation flickered in the eyes of the Lord of the Star Abyss, and he immediately said, "Then let's begin."

He turned his head slightly, looking in the direction of the Cosmic Tree, and said softly, "Yuan, devour the Cosmic Tree."

……

Looking out into the boundless chaos, for the small universes of various civilizations and the many powerful beings exploring the vicinity of the main universe, the most dazzling existence is naturally the vast and incomparable main universe.

The Cosmic Tree is like a magnificent miracle that coexists with the main universe, taking root and set itself in the main universe.

The Star Abyss is like an endless, deep shadow that obscures the entire main universe and even penetrates its depths.

These three have existed for countless years and seem destined to remain unchanged.

Countless chaotic beings, eternal beings, and ultimate beings who have been able to witness this scene have long been accustomed to the unchanging state of these three throughout the ages.

At this moment——

"Rumble--"

Accompanied by a terrifying roar that reverberated through the boundless chaos, the Star Abyss Shadow, which had enveloped the entire main universe and the surrounding area, suddenly began to spread wildly at this moment.

In an instant, the chaotic air currents spanning countless billions of light-years rippled, and terrifying power spread rampantly.

At this moment, the Star Abyss Shadow suddenly split open with an enormous rift, like a boundless maw, which instantly expanded many times over and swallowed the entire Cosmic Tree into the Star Abyss Rift!
This terrifying scene was as unbelievable as the destruction of the universe, completely beyond the comprehension of countless powerful individuals.

"The Cosmic Tree...was swallowed by the Star Abyss?"

"what happened……"

"How could Xingyuan suddenly devour the Cosmic Tree?"

The powerful figures from various civilizations who noticed this scene amidst the endless waves were all somewhat taken aback.

This is especially true for the humans and machine races on the Void God side!

"Damn it!"

Suddenly, a furious roar, accompanied by the will of the mind, resounded in the endless chaotic region nearby. Within the deep shadows, the Cosmic Tree could be vaguely seen struggling desperately.

Many powerful figures realized that this was the voice of the current World God!

It's obvious to everyone that, for some reason, Xingyuan has temporarily trapped the Cosmic Tree and the three World Gods within it, but what is the reason for this?

But at the same time, the powerful figures from all sides had already realized—

"boom!"

One corner of the Star Abyss stirred once more. A terrifying aura, riding on that corner, crashed headlong into the Mountain and Sea Realm!

Wherever its terrifying power passed, space and time collapsed and dissipated, and the chaotic void layer cracked open with chasms as vast as the heavens and the earth, as if it were an irresistible catastrophe that would destroy the world.

"The last time Ancestor Xingyuan made a move, he destroyed a cultivator at the Beginning Realm. Is he going to destroy a cultivator at the Mountain and Sea Realm this time?"

The human race's powerful figures felt powerless and sorrowful upon witnessing this scene. Who could possibly withstand such a terrifying Star Abyss Ancestor?
The ancient ancestor rode a corner of the Star Abyss, gazing indifferently at the Mountain and Sea Realm. He planned to let the Star Abyss crush the Mountain and Sea Realm and then capture the Mountain and Sea Realm's master alive.

at this time--

"boom!!!"

Amidst the invisible roar, an aura that seemed supreme even in the endless chaos suddenly burst forth from the depths of the Mountain and Sea Realm.

Its terrifying power seemed to subdue even the boundless primordial energy of chaos.

"Ok?"

The ancient progenitor's pupils suddenly contracted, and his expression changed completely.

The other two progenitors within the Star Abyss, as well as the Lord of the Star Abyss, were also taken aback, their expressions completely changing at that moment.

"The ultimate rule of chaos!"
