Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 147: Transformation, Priesthood

"Lin Qing."

While eating breakfast, Zhao Jiayi sent a telepathic message: "Are you still attending the party at the Dusk Front tonight?"

"Of course." Lin Qing nodded, "I'm going to exchange it for the original level of cultivation method."

Zhao Jiayi was stunned and asked in confusion: "Haven't you obtained the basic priesthood yet?"

"It's almost done. Just prepare in advance." Lin Qing said casually.

He glanced at Zhao Jiayi, thought for a moment, and asked, "Your telekinesis should be reaching the limit of your awakening level, right?"

Zhao Jiayi nodded and said in a voice transmission: "It's almost done, what's the matter?"

"Have you ever considered becoming a priest?" Lin Qing asked.

"Dad has arranged everything for me." Zhao Jiayi said, "I will try the priesthood trial in a while."

"Has your father arranged it?" Lin Qing did not ask any more questions. He just pondered for a moment and said, "Have you ever tested the awakening of power? How many kilograms of Star Origin Stone do you need?"

"Uh... tested..." Zhao Jiayi asked hesitantly, "Do you think I'm too extravagant?"

“…How could it be…”

Lin Qing glanced at her and said, "So what's the result of your test?"

Zhao Jiayi thought for a moment and said, "The name of the power is 'Boundless Gate', and it requires more than 20,000 kilograms of Star Origin Stone..."

"The Gate of Infinity?"

Lin Qing was stunned and said, "Then there is really no hope."

The power that can only be awakened with more than 20,000 kilograms of star source stone should be the ninth level of power.

If it was the seventh level of power, which only required a few hundred kilograms of star source stones, he could still help Zhao Jiayi awaken, but more than 20,000 kilograms of source stones would be too little.

However, Zhao Jiayi seems to be quite special... She actually has this level of power potential?
According to Chen Guang, the highest level of power on earth is the eighth energy level, and the birth of potential beyond the eighth energy level is a miracle.

There are too many miracles...

He, Irenato, and Zhao Jiayi, three miracles have emerged.

"Even if it's not much, there's no hope..." Zhao Jiayi muttered.

Lin Qing didn't say anything either.

Anyway, there is no way to help her awaken in a short period of time, so it is better not to ask for it.

The awakening power on Black Flame's side is actually much simpler.

A few days ago, after testing with 21 grams of Star Originium, he confirmed that 3140 kilograms were needed to awaken Black Flame's power.

It is estimated that it will take about four years to condense more than 800 kilograms of star source stone every year.

As for the name of the black flame's power, it is 'Eternal Fire'.

"It will take at least thirty years for Heiyan and Jiayi to awaken their powers..."

Lin Qing thought to himself, "However, it may not take that long. Maybe there is still a chance to get a lot of Star Origin Stones..."

After all, the future that the anti-entropy person foresees must be a future that he can possibly realize.

Before he awakened his powers, his strength was not as good as that of the Inspector, but he had such a future. This means that given his situation at the time, it was possible for him to obtain more than 800 tons of Star Source Stone!
This is definitely a possible future.

And it was based on his condition and strength at the time, not on how strong he might become in the future.

"Where does the Star Origin Stone come from... Is it on Earth?"

Lin Qing was a little puzzled. "The pre-Earth civilization that has disappeared? But can't the Star Origin Stone only exist for a thousand years?"

He couldn't figure it out.

But since it is possible, there must be a way to obtain more than 800 tons of star source stone.

"Forget it, let's get the priesthood first..."

Lin Qing suppressed his doubts in his heart.

The current goal is to become a citizen of the universe.

However, he had some doubts...he might be a citizen of the universe now.

After all, although he and Heiyan have different souls and bodies, they have the same consciousness.

Heiyan originally had a priesthood and was already a citizen of the universe, but after transforming into a primitive creature, he actually became a citizen of the universe again?

Therefore, he speculated that the citizens of the universe might be judged based on consciousness.

It may also be that there are standards in terms of consciousness, soul, etc.

We will know the details after he achieves priesthood.

……

It was eleven five that night.

Lin Qing once again sent out telekinesis waves of the same frequency as the spell-like sound waves.

"bring it on……"

"Let's welcome the paradise at dusk together..."

As an invisible wave swept past, a gentle and friendly female voice was heard.

Lin Qing only felt that the invisible wave seemed to be attracting his mental power. As a mental power extended out, part of his consciousness was quietly immersed in it.

……

A huge spaceship that looks like a meteorite is suspended above the clouds, and a huge Z logo can be seen on the side of the spaceship.

At this moment, in a room inside the spacecraft, a vague phantom condensed and took shape, transforming into a young man.

Outside the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, it was still dusk.

"Come in." Lin Qing opened his eyes.

“That’s a lot of progress.”

A gentle and soft voice sounded behind him.

Turning around, I saw Irenado in nun's clothes.

"Ms. Irenado." Lin Qing greeted, "Can you tell?"

"I may not be able to see it in reality, but in this Dusk Paradise, I can still sense the strength of your telekinesis." Irena said with a smile.

Lin Qing suddenly realized.

However, it’s nothing to be discovered about this special feature.

……

The meeting begins.

"Ms. Irenado, the Earth treasure is in the Earth region of the Second Cosmic Network. Only citizens of the Earth's universe can log in to this regional network, or can outsiders also log in?"

Lin Qing asked.

Irenado smiled and said, "This is just common sense for the space citizens who have logged into the Second Space Network... Before the official connection to the starry sky, only the space citizens of Earth can log into the Earth's regional network."

Lin Wei nodded slightly and asked no more questions.

The exchange session continues.

"Ms. Irenado, all 24 companies in the metropolitan area have recently started recruiting new talents. Is this also for the Earth Treasure that will be opened at the end of the year?"

"Not really. It's just that the training resources of the Zhixing Group have expanded, and the twenty-four families are taking this opportunity to train family talents. The candidates who will truly explore the treasures of the earth have already been decided."

"Ms. Irenado..."

As each member spoke up, the exchange session quickly came to an end.

The transaction begins.

Lin Qing also spoke again: "It's still a bloodline enhancer, but this time I don't need the original crystal, I only need 6,000 points and special items."

"integral?"

This time, not only the two people who were willing to take out the original crystals last time, but also others spoke up.

After all, the original crystal is a restricted resource, and it is very easy to get rid of it, while the points in Dusk Paradise have no other use except exchanging skills and consulting problems, and many people are rich.

"Six thousand points is not difficult, what exactly is the special item?"

A gray-robed man wearing a green stone mask spoke in a hoarse voice.

"For example, it may be helpful for practicing combat methods or bloodline evolution methods." Lin Qing said, "Or it may be subspace storage equipment, etc."

As soon as he said this, all the members of the Dusk Front fell silent.

Subspace storage device?
Although the main core of this device is naturally formed subspace debris and does not involve much space technology, the technical difficulty required to utilize subspace debris alone is far beyond the imagination of Earth civilization.

Generally, only members of Zhixing Group have subspace storage devices.

However, the bloodline evolution agent is not bad at all.

Lin Qing had already asked Chen Guang about the value of the bloodline enhancer.

The most abnormal thing about the bloodline evolution agent is that it increases the concentration of star-level bloodline from [trace amount] to [small amount].

Normally, once the bloodline evolution serum is injected, new bloodline evolution serum cannot be injected until it is fully developed.

Even if it is the same Sky Track Monarch bloodline evolution serum, it won’t work.

Bloodline enhancers can, however, increase the concentration to a [small amount].

This is the most valuable aspect of the bloodline enhancer!
Compared to the sub-space storage equipment, the six thousand points are just a bonus.

"I wonder if there is..." Lin Qing hoped secretly.

Although the subspace storage equipment is precious, it is still possible to obtain it.

After a short silence, a woman wearing a clown mask and a black robe, codenamed Qiao Ke, said, "I have a subspace storage device here, but it only has 12 cubic meters of subspace. I can give you an extra 10,000 points."

"Twelve cubic meters?" Lin Qing pondered in silence.

Most subspace storage devices are at least 15 cubic meters, and such small ones are relatively rare.

The female member codenamed Qiao Ke said, "How about this... I can give you another level 3 Starry Sky Battle Suit?"

"Level 3 Starry Sky Battle Suit?"

Lin Qing hesitated for a while, and when he found that no one else spoke, he said, "Okay, I agree."

The third-level starry sky battle suit is considered precious even for ordinary primitive creatures.

Although it is not as good as the subspace storage device, it is not bad.

Lin Qing was quite satisfied.

Although the twelve cubic meters of subspace storage is a bit small, it is enough to store star source stones.

More than 800 kilograms of star source stone have a volume of only a few tenths of a cubic meter.

……

After the meeting, 10,000 points had been transferred.

As for the third-level starry sky combat suit and subspace storage equipment, Irenado needs to act as a middleman. After signing the agreement in Dusk Paradise and confirming that there is no problem with the transaction, Irenado will send someone to deliver it in reality.

Lin Qing naturally had no objection.

He was able to enter Dusk Paradise because of Irenado's guidance. She already knew the true identities and locations of all the members.

Before leaving Dusk Paradise, Lin Qing exchanged for the original chapter of the telekinesis training method suitable for Black Flame's 'Telekinesis Fire', as well as the original chapter of 'Spiritual Sailing', spending a total of 6,000 points.

As for the deeper level of life, he does not need to practice.

The path to priesthood.

All combat methods, secret techniques, genetic abilities, etc. have been integrated into one. There is no need to practice them anymore. It is enough to understand the methods and directions of practice.

As long as you can pass the higher-level priesthood trials in the future, all your abilities will be transformed.

The 'Newborn Demon' is only a basic-level priesthood, and can be upgraded to the 'Original Blood Demon', an original-level priesthood.

It can be said that this is also one of the advantages of the starry sky priesthood.

……

Late that night.

After Lin Qing left the Dusk Front, he prepared the bloodline enhancer. Not long after, Irenado sent someone to take it away.

A few hours later, I received the trading items sent by Irenado.

'Subspace Storage Device' and 'Level 3 Starry Sky Battle Suit'.

After confirming that the telekinesis was correct, the personnel sent by Irenado handed over the two trading items.

"Is this the warp fragment?"

The subspace storage device is a crystal card slightly smaller than an ID card. It contains twelve cubic meters of space and can be used through telekinesis, but cannot accommodate souls.

The third-level starry sky battle suit is a precious battle suit that truly belongs to the starry sky life.

In terms of strength alone, it is comparable to third-order materials. The key is that it can change at will, dissolve most attacks from primitive creatures, and maintain the life activities of primitive creatures.

For Lin Qing, this third-level starry sky battle suit is currently more powerful than his own defense.

Even if it is black flame, it takes the power of priesthood to tear it apart.

One can imagine how strong its defensive capabilities are.

……

three days later.

In the underground space thousands of meters deep, a breath had been silent in the darkness for a long time.

Suddenly, a light came on, revealing the black flames on the Star Origin Stone chair.

"almost."

Hei Yan slowly opened his eyes and felt his current state.

His genes and mental power have been cultivated to the limit of the primitive creature level. It can be said that there is no room for improvement. If he wants to improve further, he will have to reach the level of higher primitive creatures.

Primitive creatures are lives that have transformed from primitive energy, and can be called "fifth-level life forms."

The higher primitive creatures transform with the sixth-level power of the six major factions, that is, the 'sixth-level life form'.

Before the origin, the first four energy levels still had energy suitable for transforming life, and simple absorption was enough.

But the power of the six factions is not suitable for transforming life.

Therefore, one must thoroughly understand the nature of a certain sixth-level power in order to create a cultivation method that is perfectly suitable for oneself and thus transform one's life form.

The difficulty is so high that only one out of tens of thousands of primitive creatures can succeed.

Even if I burn the black flames to improve my comprehension, I don’t know how long it will take.

So, the simplest method is actually just one -

Fulfilling the duties of the priesthood.

Over the past few days, Lin Qing has already pondered over Black Flame's priesthood, the 'Life-Dependent Newborn Demon', many times. The four major abilities of this priesthood are:

Demonic body, demonic talent, favor from the stars, and soul sacrifice.

It imitates a strange race born in the great Star Abyss in the universe, the 'Star Demons', also known as the 'Star Abyss Demons', a terrifying life form that is mysterious and powerful.

It is said that any civilization that formally connects with the starry sky will encounter harm from the Star Abyss Demons.

The priesthood of the newborn demon is to imitate the Star Abyss demon clan.

Judging from the information on the Starry Sky Priesthood, there are only two basic priesthoods on the Perfect Planet that have only one remaining trial spot - of course, hidden priesthoods do not count.

One is the Star Demon series that imitates the Star Abyss Demon Clan, and the other is the Cosmic Messenger series that imitates the Void God Clan.

"Demon body, demon talent. The former is a powerful body formed by the combined power of combat methods, genes, etc., while the latter is a derivative manifestation of personal talent and demon talent."

Lin Qing thought to himself, "The real divine power used for evolution is Xingyuan's favor and soul sacrifice..."

Priesthood is, in essence, also a path of evolution.

Theoretically, even if one cannot sense the power of the sixth energy level, after an awakened creature obtains the basic priesthood, as long as it can fulfill the duties of the priesthood, it can also transform into the primitive state.

But for awakened creatures, even with the foundation of priesthood, the difficulty is still too exaggerated and almost impossible to do.

"Among the six major factions of demons, if the life-related demons want to obtain the rewards favored by Xingyuan, they must follow the path of massacre..."

This is how the Demon series functions and evolves.

It is said that the Star Demons are naturally favored by the will of the Star Abyss and are born to "break the rules". As long as they act against their faction, they can obtain rewards from the will of the Star Abyss.

For example, an order demon must destroy order.

Life-related demons must be killed.

Demons of destruction, on the other hand, need to be saved and protected.

It seems to go against the rules of the six major factions, but in fact it still complies with the rules.

Moreover, as long as the Star Abyss Demons sacrifice powerful souls to the Star Abyss, they can also receive rewards.

"Breaking the rules...you are indeed a demon."

Lin Qing shook his head secretly, "This is more like the demons in myths and legends..."

He couldn't help but wonder, perhaps all the rumors and stories about demons on Earth and in the universe came from the Xingyuan Demon Clan?

"There's no rush now..."

Lin Qing thought to himself, "Killing and sacrificing souls can be done at any time... Now I have to wait for my main body to achieve the godhood, so I can't make any unnecessary changes to avoid causing trouble..."

……

Time passes day by day.

Lin Qing is immersed in cultivation and paying off debts every day.

With the blessing of the super high talent enhanced by the burning black flame, it is very simple to practice combat methods or telekinesis. It doesn't take long to master a combat method or telekinesis. It is only the instinctive level that is more difficult.

In the blink of an eye, four months passed.

Lin Qing welcomed another meeting on the dusk front.

"Ms. Elenado, the twenty-four companies in the metropolitan area have been getting more and more active recently, collecting talented people for the Zhixing Group and even planning to recruit people at the inspection headquarters. Are they really just after the resources of the Zhixing Group?"

"This is also an order from the Zhixing Group. There are less than four years left before the Earth is officially connected to the starry sky. As the largest vassal faction, the twenty-four families are naturally eager to make contributions."

"Ms. Irenado, I heard that the twenty-four families are planning to send people to actively recruit talented people from Earth civilization outside the urban circle?"

"Yes, we have already started to carry out free talent testing in various cities, and even prepared instruments to test soul talent, so as to identify those geniuses with original potential in advance."

"Ms. Elenado, it is said that among the twenty-four families, the Qu family seems to have a genius who has obtained a rare divine position? Is it true or false?"

"Really? When exploring the Earth's treasures at the end of the year, I'm afraid the Zhixing Group will have the upper hand again."

"Ms. Irenato, may I ask about the Star Patrol Council's recent announcement..."

Soon, the communication and transaction sessions ended.

It is worth mentioning that the member sitting in the first position on Irenado’s left hand, codenamed Bingchan, who had been asking for information about the ‘Holy Word of Destruction’, finally got a piece of information.

However, before Lin Qing left Dusk Paradise, Irenato suddenly sent a telepathic message to him:
"Lin Qing, I'm going to take Zhao Jiayi away for a while tonight and return her to you at the end of the year."

"Take Jiayi away?" Lin Qing asked, "Can you tell me the reason?"

He knew that if a big shot like Irenato really wanted to forcibly snatch someone away, he wouldn't be able to stop him.

Moreover, after observing the dusk front line for the past few months, he always felt that Irenato seemed to be taking too much care of Zhao Jiayi, and she was exempted from many problems.

The attitude also seems to be closer.

This made him have some vague guesses in his mind, but he was not sure.

"Her father asked me to help her find a suitable priesthood," Irenato explained.

"Jiayi's father?" Lin Qing asked, "Does Ms. Irenado know her father?"

"Know him?" Irenato smiled and said nothing.

Lin Qing didn't ask any more questions, but just said in a voice transmission: "Then I'll trouble you to take care of Jiayi."

……

That night, the person who came to pick up Zhao Jiayi was not Irenado, but a young woman with a mysterious aura and a very polite and friendly attitude.

However, Lin Qing also knew that the other party's strength far exceeded his own, and he was only so friendly because of Irena.

Zhao Jiayi was taken away.

Although Lin Qing had more time to practice after she left, he was still alone and felt a little bored.

However, he didn't care much.

I still practice every day to repay my debts.

A few more days passed.

On the evening of August 2nd.

[Bloodline evolution ability has been completed—Sky Track Monarch's 'domain'! ]

Along with the consumption of a large amount of original energy, Lin Qing also completed the last round of practicing the bloodline evolution method, and the debt of the domain ability was finally completely paid off.

"Fortunately, I am now more aware of it, otherwise I would have to wait until next year..."

Lin Qingwei breathed a sigh of relief, and with a thought, he summoned the Anti-Entropy panel.

[Current Order Level: Level 117.4]

[Number of items that can be advanced: 1/4]

[Advance payment for project: Power awakening 'Eternal Spirit' (0% completed)]

[Advance payment for the project: Combat method "Immortal Star Body" (27.8% completed)]

[Advance payment for the project: Telekinesis Secret Technique "Seeing God in Nothingness" (22.7% completed)]

"There's one more vacant spot for advance payment."

Lin Qing smiled, "Finally, I can use the telekinesis technique of "The One True Self" in advance."

During these four months, ever since his consciousness transformed along with the Black Flame, the efficiency of his practice of combat techniques and bloodline evolution techniques had greatly increased.

I originally thought it would take at least a year to pay off the debt for the war tactics, but it was paid off in just a few months.

On June 6, he paid off the "Forging God Form" battle method, and also advanced the "Immortal Star Body" which he had already mastered but had not yet cultivated to the instinctive level.

On July 7, the battle method "Source Divine Weapon" was also paid off.

Lin Qing had already cultivated the two basic telekinesis techniques on the Telekinesis Gate of the Star Tower to the instinctive level.

——With his current talent, he doesn’t need to make any advance payments for this kind of basic telekinetic secret technique or combat method. He can master it as long as he is burned to death by the black flame once, and he can reach the instinctive level in a few days.

He also learned three primitive-level telekinesis secrets from the inheritance stele on the road to the Telekinesis Gate.

"The Only True Self", "Seeing God in Nothingness", and "Ninety-nine Heart Abysses".

Among them, "Seeing God in Nothingness" is a secret telekinetic technique that can conceal telekinesis and life breath, and it also has the effect of concentrating one's will to defend against mental attacks.

Therefore, Lin Qing gave priority to advance payment on it.

"The Only True Self" is an auxiliary secret technique, which is most suitable for telekinetic types. It can perfectly control and integrate all of one's own power, tap the potential as much as possible, and make extraordinary strength.

However, the bloodline evolution method is still relatively slow. Fortunately, he can now control the original energy and does not need the original crystal.

I finally paid it off today.

"Advance payment, telekinesis secret technique 'The One True Self'."

As memories emerged and his mental power underwent miraculous changes, Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes after a while.

At this time his strength had improved a bit, although not much, but compared to his current strength that could easily crush the Inspector, it was already outrageous to have such strength before obtaining the priesthood.

"I'm almost at my limit, and I only need one more course, 'Heart Abyss Nine Nine', to complete it."

Lin Qing took a deep breath.

Xinyuan Jiujiu is a telekinesis secret technique that allows him to use eighty-one things at once. Before he practiced the telekinesis secret technique, he could only use eight things at once.

After practicing various telekinesis secret techniques, he can now barely do eighteen things at once, such as controlling eighteen divine weapons at the same time without interfering with each other and ensuring perfect coordination.

And Xinyuan Jiujiu's secret telekinesis technique is specifically used to "distract" the mind, so the effect is naturally stronger.

Of course, the consumption of controlling eighty-one divine weapons at the same time is also astonishingly high, and it is generally not necessary.

"Look at the current success rate of passing the priesthood trial."

Lin Qing's heart moved, and he immediately sank his consciousness into the Star Tower in his body, and began to try the priesthood trial simulated by the Star Tower.

moment.

He opened his eyes again.

"93.4%?" Lin Weiwei nodded slightly, "Not bad."

He had just passed the trial of the hidden priesthood of 'Walking Under the Gods' simulated by the Star Transmission Tower.

But this is just a simulation after all, and there is no way to determine what the specific situation of the priesthood trial will be. This is just like the college entrance examination simulation test. There will often be a certain difference between the scores of the simulation test and the college entrance examination.

Ever since he learned the secret of forming source power, "Three-Phase Starry Sky", his success rate in passing the priesthood assessment has greatly increased.

"After learning the Heart Abyss Nine Nine, the success rate will be even higher." Lin Qing nodded secretly.

The success rate will naturally be raised to as high as possible.

Although 93.4% is already very high, it is not his limit.

"Fortunately, telekinesis techniques place more emphasis on consciousness, and they are much faster than combat techniques."

Lin Qing was not in a hurry. "I estimate that I can pay off "God in Nothingness" by mid-September. It would be best to pay off "The Only True Self" as well, leaving a space for advance payment before going for the trial, just in case of emergency."

Although no matter how special and complex the abilities are, they will all be integrated into the part of the starry sky priesthood, sooner or later, but increasing the success rate is more important.

Anyway, it’s only August now, and there are still a few months left for the Earth Treasures at the end of the year, which is more than enough.

In fact, this was already faster than he had originally expected.

If there were no black flames, he felt that he would have to wait until the next time the Earth's treasure was opened.

……

In the blink of an eye, it is October.

On October 10, Lin Qing came to the inspection headquarters again.

Inspecting the headquarters building.

"Are you going to try the priesthood trial?"

In the director's office, Director Xu Shaofeng looked at Lin Qing in surprise and couldn't help asking, "So soon? Are you sure you don't want to prepare anymore?"

"Minister Xu, I've basically reached my limit." Lin Weiqing shook her head slightly, "If we delay any further, there won't be any progress."

He didn't explain much, just had a thought.

The invisible hazy light spread quietly, covering the office and enveloping Xu Shaofeng.

"you!"

Xu Shaofeng looked at Lin Qing in shock, almost unable to believe it, "This is..."

He is also a primitive creature, so he can naturally feel the power of this domain. Although it is not as strong as the domain of a primitive creature like him, it is shocking enough that an awakened creature can master the domain.

This means that Lin Qing has actually developed the core ability of the fifth level of the Sky Track Monarch bloodline, 'Field'!
This was even more shocking than the flash of light.

The genetic ability of the Sky Track Monarch will continue to increase with his strength, while the limit of the domain of primitive creatures is only the fifth energy level.

"Yes, it's a newly developed field." Lin Qingwei nodded slightly.

Of course, the domain power he just demonstrated was only the power when he awakened his domain more than half a year ago.

In fact, this is only a few tenths of the power he has now when he uses all his strength.

Once the black flames start to burn and are exerted at full strength, even Xu Shaofeng will not be able to use his domain and can only be suppressed by him.

Of course, he himself has not even obtained the basic priesthood, nor is he a primitive creature. Even if he can rely on his domain to suppress Xu Shaofeng, he is definitely not Xu Shaofeng's opponent.

The gap in foundation is too big. It just relies on the black flame burning to increase the power of the field.

"Good, good, good."

Xu Shaofeng took a deep breath and looked at Lin Qing with excitement and relief, "I knew I was right."

“It’s almost the end of the year.”

Lin Qing said: "Minister Xu, I want to pass the priesthood trial as soon as possible. How long will it take?"

Xu Shaofeng pondered for a moment and said, "The three restricted areas are all supervised by Zhixing Group. It will probably take one or two days for the application to be approved."

"Okay, then I'll stay at the headquarters for the next two days." Lin Qing said.

"it is good."

Xu Shaofeng nodded and said, "But you still have to be careful. Recently, the 24 companies have also been eyeing the inspection headquarters. As long as there is a chance to become an inspector, they will also use coercion and inducement. You must not show your true strength, otherwise Zhixing Group will definitely force you to sign a compulsory contract."

"Twenty-four families?" Lin Qing said, "The lackeys of Zhixing Group? I don't quite know which families are in the twenty-four families."

Xu Shaofeng said: "The ones who are watching the inspection headquarters now are the Yuan family, the Rocks family, and the Yan family among the top three families."

"The top three?" Lin Qing asked doubtfully.

"Correct."

Xu Shaofeng said: "Although the twenty-four families are strong, twenty-one of them are just relying on the power of the tiger. The strength of any of these twenty-one families is probably about the same as that of the inspection headquarters."

"However, the top three families are different. The Yan family, the Gongsun family, and the Rodris family are the top three families."

He said in a deep voice: "These three families have top masters who have obtained the original-level priesthood, and they rose to prominence in the Doomsday Era, such as Yan Qingqing of the Yan family, Gongsun Jie of the Gongsun family, and the mad lion of the Rodris family. They also have a certain status in the Zhixing Group, second only to the Chaoyang Martial Arts School, the Dawn Group, and the Patrol Star Council."

Lin Qing was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Minister Xu just said... the Yan family? Yan Qingqing? Did they also rise in the doomsday era?"

"Correct."

Xu Shaofeng nodded slightly and asked in confusion: "What's wrong? Have you heard about it?"

　There is another update which will probably be later. There are too many people at home today and it is impossible to write. I will stay up all night to write this one.
