Gao Wu: Become stronger by grinding Erlang Shen's talents

Chapter 1216 Power and the Ancient Saint's Secret Realm (Seeking Monthly Tickets)
"Quiet down, everyone!"

A deep, resonant voice rang out; it was the Lord of the Pan Ding, clad in black robes and exuding an aura as heavy as a mountain, who spoke.

The entire hall fell silent once again.

He slowly began to speak:

"I hereby declare that the Qingyuan Overlord and the Zhenlei Overlord have become the new overlords of our human race."

"According to the Deep Space Human Law, they have an additional 68 powers on top of the 58 powers of the Star Gods."

"They can also participate in high-level human decision-making and have the power to vote, oppose, or even abstain."

"at the same time……"

The Lord of Pan Ding simply announced the powers that Lin Qi and the Thunder Lord could possess.

A screen was projected in front of Lin Qi, clearly displaying the powers he currently possessed.

The greatest of these powers is the power to participate in major decision-making, which is crucial.

In some of the major decisions of the human race, the decision is made through a vote by the Overlord.

In addition, there are some benefits and perks.

For example, serving as a consultant in some departments gives one the power to recommend candidates for entry.

The Deep Space Institute has directors of various branches who are in charge of various matters in different star regions.

In the last tens of thousands of years, a new star field was born, and this is where the power struggle between the major rulers began.

They would all want to appoint the gods of their own star system as managers, because this represents a kind of power, and has unimaginable benefits, whether in trade or in the collection of various resources.

Although the ruler may not value these resources, the people in the various civilizations below him, large and small, do value them highly.

This will have unimaginable benefits for their future.

In this respect, their galactic civilization is far inferior to other civilizations.

Their galactic civilization rose too quickly.

Over tens of thousands of years, although the territories of the elite and civilizations expanded drastically, their overall strength remained terrifyingly weak.

It was all thanks to him and Qin Ling holding the line.

There are only two Star Gods in total; the strongest others are only at the fourth level of the Universe Realm.

It is incomparable to other advanced civilizations.

The foundation is too weak; it needs time for the entire civilization to digest it.

In various high-level departments such as the Deep Space Institute, the people of the Galactic Civilization are at the very bottom.

There are almost none in the middle and upper management.

Next, they will need to support their own people in the Galactic Civilization to advance.

If you don't get promoted now, it will be very difficult to get promoted in the future.

At the same time, many valuable technologies and resources related to the entire human race can be accessed, and assistance can even be requested from the Deep Space Institute.

For example, he wanted the Galactic Civilization to deploy various powerful black technologies that could target beings at the Overlord level.

These measures can protect the entire civilization from being destroyed by alien rulers.

Many other civilizations have such means, but their Galactic Civilization does not.

Previously, countless Deep Space Coins had been spent to build numerous defense systems capable of withstanding attacks from the Star Gods.

However, to resist the ruler, or even the supreme being, one needs a certain level of authority.

And the required contribution points are also exceptionally high.

Now, not many contribution points are needed, and the Deep Space Institute can even be mobilized to help with the setup; the benefits are incredibly good.

In many places, he doesn't even need to spend money.

Lin Qi quickly read through it and was amazed; people of different statuses enjoyed completely different benefits.

He entered a completely new world.

I knew the benefits were good, but I didn't expect them to be this good.

Perhaps he already possessed countless powers when he was in the Star God Realm, but he simply didn't make good use of them.

At that time, he had devoted all his energy to cultivation in order to deal with matters on the frontier battlefield.

Now that he has become the ruler, he also needs to take charge of various matters concerning the Galactic Civilization.

In fact, Qin Ling had also mentioned to him that after returning from the Ancient Star Secret Realm, in addition to digesting the rare and precious materials he had obtained, the other party was also dealing with matters concerning the Galactic Civilization.

Now he has to make a move.

After he finished reading, the head of the Deep Space Academy slowly spoke:

"Next, we will proceed with a decision-making vote."

"On battlefield number 69, the Celestials have deployed more troops, and the pressure is increasing."

"The Deep Space Institute proposed sending more warriors to Battlefield 69."

"At the same time, all kinds of technological weapons and fortifications need to be updated."

We need to send deities to the battlefield, including a top-tier deity and a ruler.

"Our current plan is to send the top-tier deity Silver Venerable, and for the Overlord, we have chosen Black Scythe Overlord!"

After the head of the Deep Space Institute finished speaking, a screen was projected in front of everyone, displaying a large amount of information.

Two buttons also appeared below.

【agree】

【no】

After reviewing the information, Lynch knew that this was within his decision-making authority.

After a brief moment of thought, he pressed the "agree" button.

Although he wasn't very knowledgeable about military affairs, he knew that with the Protoss increasing their investment, the overall situation would worsen, and it was indeed necessary to send more Star Gods.

"DiDi!!"

Soon all the rulers made their choices: 90% chose to agree, and only 10% chose to disagree.

Therefore, this decision was passed.

The head of the Deep Space Institute began making another decision: whether to invest a great deal of energy in conquering forbidden weapons or in the research and development of cultivation resources.

Even the development of technological weapons has different categories.

Ultimately, the question is whether to mobilize the Deep Space Institute, which represents the majority of the human race's resources, to invest in one direction.

This all requires them to control the vote to decide.

Lynch also played a very important role in this.

Some polls are in the same direction for everyone, and they pass quickly.

However, some decisions are met with more opposition than support and ultimately have to be abandoned.

Each decision, made through a series of votes, concerns the future of humanity.

Even Lin Qi had to be careful.

Several hours passed in this way, and all decisions were made.

The head of the Deep Space Academy also slowly spoke:

"These are the current decisions, and the next tens of thousands of years will proceed according to the previous plan."

"Finally, there is one more thing."

"The Ancient Saint's Secret Realm will open in less than ten thousand years. Please prepare yourselves."

"This trip to the secret realm is also very important for our human race."

These words immediately enlivened the entire conference hall.

Lin Qi, sitting in the first row, also had a change in expression.

"Ancient Sage's Secret Realm?"

This reminded him of a past memory.

Those were two treasures he obtained from the Ancient Lord of Hong in the Ancient Star Secret Realm.

Both are more precious than level one treasures; one is an offensive heavy treasure, and the other is the coordinates of an ancient holy realm.

It is said that at the coordinates, one can obtain a large number of rare and precious materials.

He remembered this incident and never expected to hear about this secret realm again.

Lin Qi was also very curious about the Ancient Sacred Realm.

After returning to the Primordial Holy Land, he busied himself with cultivation, eager to break through and become a ruler as soon as possible.

After the breakthrough, it was discovered that there were simply too many areas that needed improvement.

So he threw himself back into cultivation.

Until now, I've heard news about the Ancient Sacred Realm again.

At the same time, the other rulers also began to discuss the Ancient Sacred Realm.

"After millions of years, the Ancient Sacred Realm has finally reopened."

"The last time the secret realm opened was a long time ago."

"This time, we might be able to obtain fragments of chaotic artifacts and refine them into my own treasure."

"We might even obtain a complete treasure directly, without needing to refine it."

All the rulers' eyes shone brightly as they excitedly began to discuss it.

Lin Qi, being rather inquisitive, telepathically inquired of the Lord of Kongming:
"Senior brother, please tell me about the Ancient Saint's Secret Realm."

The Sovereign of Kongming immediately became interested and introduced:

"You've come to the right person."

After organizing his thoughts, he began his introduction:

"The Ancient Sacred Realm is a secret realm that existed long ago."

"No one knows exactly when it was born. According to existing data, it may have even existed at the beginning of the universe."

"It is called a secret realm, but in fact the entire secret realm is already a small universe, which is extremely large, even close to the size of a race's territory."

"At that time, our ten most powerful races had just been born. Our human race was still under the rule of the demon race, and the other races were still extremely weak."

"There are only a handful of supreme beings, but the Ancient Saint Secret Realm already exists."

"This is an ancient secret realm. It is called Ancient Saint because there was a race that referred to supreme beings as Ancient Saints, and they were the ones who discovered the secret realm. Some supreme beings even perished within it."

"The entire Ancient Saint Secret Realm is located deep in the universe, with a unique environment and countless rare and precious materials."

"The teachers suspect that at the beginning of the universe, there was a powerful race living in it, but something happened that caused these races to weaken or even become extinct."

"Even if you ask the solo traveler community, they don't know either."

"But what we do know is that it is a dangerous place."

"Enveloped by an endless chaotic ocean, like the ebb and flow of tides, it cycles every million years. When it is strong, even the ruler cannot enter. The probability of forcibly entering is extremely high. Even the peak ruler cannot enter."

"Even the most supreme beings are unwilling to enter it easily."

"The level of danger there is several levels greater than that of the Ancient Star Secret Realm."

"It can even be considered a fully enhanced version of the Ancient Star Secret Realm."

"The teacher speculated that the Ancient Star Secret Realm and the Ancient Saint Secret Realm were connected, but the answer had not yet been found."

"However, not finding the answer doesn't mean we won't go to the Ancient Sacred Realm."

“Every time the Ancient Saint Secret Realm opens, the rulers of various races will go there to seek opportunities and rare treasures when their defenses are weakest.”

"The unique environment there has given birth to countless rare and precious materials, and because it only opens once every million years, the number of these materials is enormous."

“There are even fragments of chaotic artifacts.”

“In the past, if we wanted to forge a powerful treasure, we either had to kill the ruler of an alien race or search for it ourselves.” “But fragments of chaotic artifacts are extremely rare.”

"But the Ancient Saint's Secret Realm is different; the probability of finding chaotic treasures there is extremely high."

“The treasures left behind by the races that once inhabited them have vanished, leaving only dangerous ruins.”

"If you're lucky, you might actually find a great treasure."

"This is a priceless treasure! If we get our hands on it, we'll be rolling in it!"

"Since I broke through to the Dominator realm, I've only been there once, and I've obtained quite a few good things. I'm just waiting to go again this time."

As the Lord of Kongming spoke, his expression involuntarily became excited.

Upon hearing this, Lin Qi's heart stirred. Perhaps some race had once inhabited the area and left behind some treasures.

According to the Lord of Kongming, the entire Ancient Saint Secret Realm is extremely vast, and contains various dangerous places.

If we had specific coordinates, we might be able to obtain a large number of rare and precious materials.

After the Sovereign of Kongming finished speaking, the Sovereign of Xuyan joined in, saying:
"In fact, the Ancient Saint Realm is just an even larger Ancient Star Realm."

"However, it is more dangerous inside, and it contains more rare and precious materials, which is a great attraction to the rulers of various races."

"Initially, everyone was thinking of going in to find opportunities, but later, with the rise of the major races, war broke out."

"Several of our human race's supreme beings have obtained great opportunities in the Ancient Saint Secret Realm, resulting in a surge in their strength."

"As our human race rose to power, wars broke out with other races, and the Ancient Sacred Realm became another battlefield."

“Every realm has its own battlefield, and the Ancient Saint Secret Realm is no exception.”

"Normally, the rulers don't take action. They accumulate power and wait for millions of years until they enter the Ancient Saint Secret Realm to kill the rulers of other races."

"In fact, sometimes the gains from entering the dangerous places of the Ancient Saint's Secret Realm may not be as great as the gains from killing a Sovereign."

"The accumulation of a ruler takes at least hundreds of thousands of years, and some even take millions of years, resulting in an astonishing amount of wealth."

"Killing a ruler not only weakens the opponent's race, but also yields a large amount of resources."

"This is even more cost-effective than the Star God."

"It's a pity that junior brother, junior sister, Zhen Lei, you two are not so lucky."

"There are now less than 10,000 years left before the Ancient Saint's Secret Realm opens."

"If you were given tens of thousands more years to cultivate, your strength would be enough to become even greater, and you might even be able to possess the combat power of a top-tier ruler."

Lin Qi didn't care after hearing this; ten thousand years was enough for him.

He is already a top-tier ruler in terms of combat power. If he cultivates for another ten thousand years and creates his own unique skills, his combat power can continue to increase.

Even among the top rulers, he ranks among the top.

Moreover, he also possesses two powerful treasures, which would be more than enough to deal with ordinary top-tier rulers, and could even completely annihilate them.

His survival skills are top-notch; killing him would be extremely difficult.

The Crimson Flame Overlord smiled and said, "I have been cultivating for tens of thousands of years and my strength has improved. This time I am just going to gain experience and prepare for the next time."

Thunder Lord nodded and said, "I'm about the same, I won't force myself."

He had just broken through to the next level and was the weakest in terms of strength; he shouldn't have gone in the first place.

However, the Ancient Saint's Secret Realm only opens once every million years, which is far too long.

He has only cultivated for a few hundred thousand years now, and it would be difficult for him to achieve that in another million years.

Therefore, he also intends to go to the Ancient Sacred Realm this time.

Then the Void Lord spoke:

"However, each time the entrance to the Ancient Saint's Secret Realm is surrounded by the power of the Chaotic Ocean, the power will continuously decrease, reaching the minimum entry requirement every million years."

"Then it will keep recovering, and after ten thousand years it will be impossible to enter again."

"You can choose to cultivate for several thousand more years and enter the field when you still have several hundred years left. Although the gains will not be as great, at least your strength will be more guaranteed."

For someone who has just broken through to the Dominator level, their strength is in a phase of rapid improvement.

However, even if the Thunder Lord is a legendary genius, it is not easy for him to improve in less than 20,000 years.

After the rulers discussed for a while, the Master of the Deep Space Academy slowly spoke:

"Since there is nothing else, I hereby declare this meeting adjourned."

"Everyone, please disperse!"

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

After speaking, the four supreme beings transformed into dazzling pillars of light that shot into the starry sky and disappeared from the sight of all the rulers.

"The meeting is over, I need to go back and prepare properly."

The ruler spoke, then his figure vanished, having chosen to log off.

The other rulers also chose to log off one after another after hearing this.

Just as Lin Qi was about to log off, he heard the voice of his teacher, the Master of the Deep Space Academy.

"Lin Qi, come over here with your senior sister after you log off."

Lin Qi turned to look at the Crimson Flame Overlord, who had also received the message from the Deep Space Academy Master.

So both of them chose to log off.

……

The Primordial Holy Land, the Second Holy Island at its center.

Before the magnificent palace, two figures walked up. The doors opened, and the Master of the Deep Space Academy was already waiting for them in the hall.

"sit down!"

The Deep Space Academy Master, clad in a chaotic-colored robe, slowly spoke.

Lin Qi and the Red Flame Overlord sat down at the stone table.

The Deep Space Academy Master took out a jade bottle, poured purple marrow essence into the two of them, and said:

"I called you here today to guide your cultivation."

"Ten thousand years later, the Ancient Saint Realm will open, and the rulers of all races will enter it."

"You have just broken through, and it is quite dangerous for you to enter. You need to make good use of these ten thousand years."

"I will guide you through a thousand years of the laws of time; how much you can improve depends on your own comprehension."

Lin Qi's eyes lit up, and he drank the marrow essence in one gulp.

With guidance from the Master of the Deep Space Academy, his understanding of the laws of time will greatly improve over a thousand years.

Lin Qi felt that his comprehension had greatly improved and his condition was better than ever before.

"Buzz!!"

At the same time, the body of the Deep Space Academy Master also began to float up, and a large number of black time runes emerged, like ripples on the surface of a lake, one after another.

"The laws of time are divided into three true meanings, and a thousand years is enough to describe the true meaning of acceleration."

"The true meaning of time acceleration has 10000 mysteries, and like building a tower, it can be divided into 10 layers."

"Each layer has dozens of combinations, and each combination has its own rules. As long as you find the rules and simplify them, and then compare them with the Chaos Wonder, the Sands of Time, you can quickly improve your understanding of the laws of time."

"In fact, every chaotic artifact is a template of laws. As long as you observe it carefully, you can improve your understanding of the laws."

"Especially the laws of space and time, which are extremely difficult to apply."

"Without access to any secret treasures for reference, the difficulty is extremely daunting."

"Now I will explain a method for comprehending the laws of time, called the Nine-Layer Decomposition Method. Through this method, your understanding of the laws will also be enhanced."

"..."

The master of the Deep Space Academy began to expound on the laws of time, while also explaining his various methods for comprehending these laws. By combining these methods, he was able to comprehend them very quickly.

After listening for a short while, Lin Qi gained some insights on his own.

The Crimson Flame Overlord beside him was the same.

Both of them had high comprehension, and after taking the Marrow Essence Elixir, their comprehension was enhanced, making their comprehension efficiency even higher.

So Lin Qi didn't waste the effect, immersing himself completely and forgetting the passage of time around him.

It was as if we had entered a world where time stood still.

[You have consumed the Marrow Essence Elixir, and your comprehension has greatly improved!]

[You listened to the guidance of the supreme being, the "Master of the Deep Space Academy," and your understanding of the accelerated true meaning of the laws of time has greatly improved. You have successfully comprehended the 5491st profound mystery!]

[You have successfully comprehended the 5492nd profound mystery!]

[You have successfully comprehended the 5492nd profound mystery!]

【…】

……

Information kept popping up on the panel, and the mysteries of the laws of time were gradually being understood by the master of the Deep Space Academy.

Lin Qi had no interest in watching anymore; he was completely absorbed in it.

……

A thousand years can pass in the blink of an eye.

In the main hall of the Divine Palace, the Master of the Deep Space Academy, clad in a chaotic-colored robe, expounded on the laws of time over a thousand years. Coming back to his senses, his understanding of the Great Dao also improved.

Then his heterochromatic eyes looked at Lin Qi and the Crimson Flame Overlord, who were sitting with their eyes closed, comprehending and digesting the information in front of the stone table.

Both of them are among the most talented of his disciples. Through a thousand years of guidance, he can easily discern their progress in understanding the material during their interactions.

He originally thought that the Crimson Flame Overlord had a higher understanding of the laws of time, after all, he broke through earlier and had listened to his guidance.

Even if one's talent is not as good as Lin Qi's, it would still take hundreds of thousands of years to be surpassed.

As a result, it was surpassed in just 20,000 years!

In particular, Lin Qi's current understanding of the profound meaning of time acceleration has reached 7000 types.

This rate of progress is truly terrifying.

There are still 3000 more mysteries to go before I can fully grasp the true meaning of time acceleration.

His talent and comprehension were simply terrifying, even surpassing his understanding.

Despite the effects of his marrow essence and guidance, the speed of progress is still too fast!
The head of the Deep Space Institute admitted that he himself did not possess such talent.

To be honest, he didn't even want Lin Qi to go to the Ancient Saint Secret Realm.

If one honestly secludes oneself in the Primordial Holy Land for hundreds of thousands or even millions of years, one will emerge as a peak ruler.

He is invincible among all the rulers of the entire universe.

However, the other party will not agree.

At this moment, Lin Qi looked at the panel and saw thousands of messages pop up.

[You listened to the guidance of the supreme being, the "Master of the Deep Space Academy," and your understanding of the true meaning accelerated by the laws of time has greatly improved, successfully comprehending the 7001st profound mystery!]

……

Lin Qi looked at the data and was astonished.

This improvement over the past millennium is even greater than he imagined.

The profound insights he has now grasped are enough for him to create his own unique martial arts technique.

His current combat strength is only greater than before.

The Deep Space Academy Master waved his hand and said leisurely:

"Now that a thousand years have passed, you can go back and digest your insights, and make good preparations for the Ancient Saint's Secret Realm."

……
