Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 170: Visitors from Other Worlds
“The best way?”

Lin Qing couldn't help but ask: "I have two priesthoods. Can I specialize in both of them?"

"How is that possible?" the old voice said, "It's called specialization, so how can you fuse two priesthoods? You can choose to fuse the military commander. As you go further and further on the path of the military commander, the effect of the priesthood specialization will become stronger and stronger."

"What about the path of the gods?" Lin Qing couldn't help asking, "Didn't they say that after becoming a god, other paths to godhood would be useless?"

"That's right."

The old voice said, "However, you should have been to the Sky Islands, right? Didn't the guardian there tell you that you had almost no hope of passing the Son of God Trial? Do you still want to concentrate on walking in spirit?"

Lin Qingwei was slightly startled.

The Sky Island Guardian did say that he had little hope.

"If you choose to walk in a low-spirited way, you are almost doomed to fail in the future. That is self-destructive."

The old voice sighed and said, "Have you never thought that the gods you are fighting with are all from at least level 2 civilizations? Even in level 2 civilizations, only true geniuses have the opportunity to try out for the cosmic god series of priesthoods."

Lin Weiwei frowned slightly and said, "At what level can one be sure of success?"

"Hard to say."

The old voice said, "The magical skill of holding the weapon you just used is quite good in terms of defense. It is amazing that you can master this move, but if you only use this move to participate in the trial of the Son of God, you will definitely be the last one among the 100 gods."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "I have also learned a complete set of divine skills of walking under the gods, "World God". If I can master it, is there hope?"

"World God?" The old voice asked doubtfully, "You mean, you have completed the secret technique of detection? Have you received the inheritance?"

"Yes." Lin nodded.

"strangeness……"

The old voice was even more puzzled. "You can only pass the fifth level of Xingyuan at most? Even if you can get started by practicing the detection secret technique, you should not be able to complete the detection secret technique with your understanding."

"How do you know my level of comprehension?" Lin Qing was puzzled.

"I don't mean to look down on you."

The old voice said, "But what do you think comprehension is? It is your ability to understand and comprehend things. It is not only based on talent, but also on the environment you grew up in, your knowledge and experiences, etc., which have a great influence."

"You live on Earth. Even though the highest energy level on Earth is the eighth energy level, a first-level civilization cannot even analyze the true nature of high-level energy, so it is difficult to understand its essence."

"Not to mention... the true nature and even the origin of space that can only be accessed by a Level 2 civilization."

"You have seen too little, and have never experienced anything involving the truth of the universe. Moreover, you were born on a planet, so you have a huge innate disadvantage."

The old voice said, "Normally, those who come from a first-level civilization have almost no hope of completing this secret technique of detection, because their comprehension is not enough, and it will become increasingly difficult to practice the divine skill of walking under the gods."

Lin Qing thought for a moment and said, "It only took me half a year to practice that magical skill of controlling the soldiers."

“It has little to do with speed.”

The old voice said, "Let me ask you, when you used the nine essences of power to form a divine skill, did you find it difficult to combine the nine essences? Did you even not know how to form a divine skill? Did you succeed in combining them one day when you had an epiphany or a flash of inspiration?"

He sighed and said, "This is your disadvantage in understanding. You can't have sudden enlightenment every time."

“…No.” Lin Qing shook his head and said, “It was a very smooth combination.”

"……what?"

The old voice was puzzled and said, "It doesn't make sense... With your background and upbringing, how could you have such understanding? Unless you had a sudden realization or a flash of inspiration, it should be difficult to combine the nine essences..."

When Lin Qing heard this, his heart moved.

When he combined the nine sixth-level power essences to create the Spinning Star Skill, he did not comprehend the combination normally, but instead used it in advance.

To advance the future means that as long as there is this possibility in the future, it can be realized——

For example, there is indeed a possibility that he may have an epiphany, and one day he may suddenly have a flash of inspiration and understand the method of combining the essence of the nine powers. As long as this possibility exists, he will definitely succeed.

It seems like...

The real difficulty is not to understand the essence of the nine powers, but to finally combine them into a magical skill?
"Eh... Qi Lingxiao has also mastered a powerful skill. He seems to be very lucky..."

This thought suddenly emerged in Lin Qing's mind.

"eccentric……"

The old voice asked doubtfully, "You should have a clone, right? What is your clone?"

"The Black Flame Clan." Lin Qing said.

"The Black Flame Clan?" The old voice was even more puzzled. "Although the Black Flame Clan has good talents, they are also a race in the universe. No matter how much they burn, they can't have such understanding..."

Lin Qing immediately changed the subject: "All kinds of miracles exist in the universe. There are also people who are born with high comprehension, right?"

"That's true, but it's still a little too extraordinary..."

The old voice still couldn't understand, so he could only sigh and said, "Maybe you are right, it really is a miracle in the universe."

Lin Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

It seems that the existence of the anti-entropy is more shocking than he imagined.

Has it even gone beyond the comprehension of Earth's previous civilization?
"Senior." Lin Qing asked again: "If I succeed in cultivating "World God" and successfully combine the four divine skills, do I have the hope of becoming the Son of God?"

The old voice pondered for a moment and said, "Although I don't think you can successfully combine to form the World God, if you can really succeed, then you do have a great hope of becoming the Son of God."

"Great hope?" Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

"Normally, it should be almost certain to succeed." The old voice said, "But you are a cosmic creature, your bloodline is very ordinary, and your foundation is a bit weak."

"Poor foundation?"

Lin Qing asked doubtfully: "My current gene optimization index has reached 500%, which is half of the Black Flame Clan. Should it be okay?"

After his life level transformed into a higher primitive creature, the power of the sixth energy level allowed his genes to be optimized again, increasing it to more than 500%.

At the same level of life, the genetic optimization index determines different physical qualities and specialties.

Ordinary people on Earth generally account for 1%.

Zhixing people are born with a genetic optimization index close to 100%.

The Black Flame clone's is 900% because of the slight genetic optimization brought about by the eighth level of Black Flame power.

If the Black Flame clone completely masters the Black Flame, the genetic optimization index will skyrocket.

"Gene optimization index 500%?"

The old voice said, "Too low. In the universe, this is only five times the genetic standard of the cosmic race. The genius of the second-level civilization, born in the void secret realm where the origin of the universe is gathered, has a natural genetic optimization index that is ten times or even more than yours. The bloodline is even more exaggerated. How can you compare?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

The genetic optimization index is ten times or even more than his?
Is this the difference between being born into a first-level civilization and a second-level civilization?

“Don’t feel it’s unfair.”

The old voice said, "The founders of those second-level civilizations all went through untold hardships and paid an unknown price to open up a secret void realm that gathers the origin of the universe."

"I understand." Lin Qing took a deep breath and asked, "Can genes be improved?"

"Your foundation is too poor, and it's hard to improve too much."

The old voice said: "However, if it is a slight improvement, and it can be improved several times based on your current level, there is still hope."

"That's fine." Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

The priesthood and divine skills are amplified based on their own foundation, and it is very good to improve them several times.

"Well……"

The old voice said, "This treasure is too precious. Logically, you are not yet at that level, so I cannot give it to you. However, since you have such a high level of understanding, it is okay to make an exception."

Lin Qing asked: "Aren't you afraid that I'm lying?"

"Ha ha……"

The old voice laughed, "Little guy, you are standing here. I can see your soul strength, will, depth of perception of cosmic energy, level... all of these at a glance. Do you think you can lie to me?"

He smiled, "Your power should be able to allow you to be reborn and gain a clone, right? No wonder your physical age is only 21, but your soul is 121 years old. Your power level is not bad. You can try to go to the Vacuum Tomb."

Lin Qing nodded silently.

"Then I'll give you two good things in exchange."

As the old voice sounded, the shadows of the nine treasures in front of Lin Qing also changed accordingly.

The treasure used for mastering the priesthood and another treasure that increased lifespan by 100,000 years disappeared together at this moment.

Instead, there was a silver-blue round card and a drop of liquid with a faint dark golden glow.

The names of the two treasures also appeared nearby.

[Original Level Identity Test Card]

【Blood of the Cosmic Ruins Giant】

"This is……"

Lin Qing looked at the two treasures.

"Since you are determined to take the path of becoming a cosmic god, then give it a try."

The old voice said, "Don't you need time and want to practice faster? This Origin Level Identity Test Card is very suitable for you. You are going to the Vacuum Tomb. As long as you can pass the test and become an Origin Level Identity of the Origin Level, you can enter the 'Practice Room', where the flow of time is much faster than the universe standard."

Lin Qing's eyes lit up involuntarily.

Time flows faster?
"How much exactly?" Lin Qing asked immediately.

"You'll know when you go see it."

The old voice said: "However, if you want to pass the test, your current level is not enough."

"What level is required?" Lin Qing asked.

"The requirements are not high. As long as you can easily sweep through the fifth floor of Xingyuan, it will be fine." The old voice said: "You can only bear it now, right?"

"Indeed." Lin Weiqing nodded slightly.

"This drop of blood comes from the transformed giant spirit of the universe."

The old voice said, "Its function is very simple. It can increase your gene optimization index to more than 2000%, which will increase your energy explosiveness. Your energy reserves will also increase by more than ten times, and your lifespan can be increased by more than years."

"Gene optimization index 2000%? Energy reserve dozens of times? Lifespan of years?"

Lin Qing looked at the drop of blood in shock, feeling somewhat unbelievable.

"This is nothing." The old voice said, "The average standard of the second-level civilization in the universe is higher than this. Your bloodline foundation is too poor. Treasures like the Blood of the Cosmic Ruins Giant Spirit can only help you make up for the gap."

The old voice said: "However, every time your life transforms, the hidden giant gene of the universe ruins will increase your gene optimization index even more, and you can catch up slowly."

"That's enough." Lin Qing nodded.

The gene optimization index increased from 500% to 2000%, which is equivalent to his strength increasing to four times the original!
Not to mention, the energy reserves are dozens of times greater than in the past.

Although his recovery speed is already very fast, it is impossible for him to use abilities like Instant Light continuously indefinitely.

Normal energy recovery takes at least ten hours. The energy recovery speed brought by the pseudo-godhood is thousands of times faster, and it still takes more than ten seconds for the energy to be completely restored.

Even if the instantaneous light is integrated into the priest's ability, it will consume 30% of the energy when used once.

A skill like the Spinning Star would consume 80% of his energy just to form, and maintaining it would also consume a lot of energy, so he could only rely on his pseudo-godhood to slowly recover.

After his energy reserves increased dozens of times, he no longer had to worry about energy deficits.

"After fusing with this drop of blood, my gene optimization index is higher than Black Flame's."

Lin Qing was looking forward to it.

Now that he has mastered the magical skill, his strength has surpassed that of the Black Flame clone. At least the Black Flame clone cannot shake the Spinning Star magical skill.

Anyway, he originally used the black flame as a 'cultivation accelerator' to improve his understanding and consciousness.

"You can choose three of these nine treasures." said the old voice.

Lin Qing did not hesitate and said immediately: "I choose the blood of the giant spirit of the universe ruins, the original level identity test card of the beginning realm, and the ninth energy crystal of the order system."

Originally, he felt that his attack was insufficient and wanted a treasure to increase his lethality to make up for it temporarily.

But the blood of the giant spirit of the universe can increase the gene optimization index so much. This is an all-round improvement and much better than the original plan. How could he not choose it?
"Okay." Three treasures emitting various auras appeared in front of Lin Qing at the same time.

"The ninth energy crystal of the Order System is not bad."

The old voice said, "You should use the other two now, otherwise you won't be able to conceal the aura they emit after you leave this secret vault."

Lin Qing nodded, and immediately took the silver-blue round card and injected the mysterious energy in his body into it.

This original-level identity test card of the Beginning Realm immediately recognized its owner and sank into his body.

Then, Lin Qing looked at the drop of strange blood of the giant spirit of the universe again.

"Just use the bloodline evolution method to absorb it." said the old voice.

Lin Qing immediately absorbed this drop of blood into his body and began to absorb it into his own genes using the bloodline evolution method.

This drop of blood was obviously specially modified to optimize genes. It was extremely easy to absorb and turned into terrifying and strange forces that continuously transformed his genes.

Compared with this, the genes of the Sky Track Monarch are like the difference between an ant and a dragon.

The terrifying power and aura permeated, causing his genes to undergo amazing leaps time and time again. The effect was much better than when he used the sixth energy level to optimize it. He didn't know what level it was.

It’s just that his own blood genes are too poor, and in order to maintain the balance of genes, the improvement did not reach the limit.

Otherwise, Lin Qing doubts whether his gene optimization index can reach 10000%?

However, as his life level increases, his genes can continue to be greatly optimized.

I do not know how long it has been.

Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes, feeling his new senses and his own strength, as well as the unusually empty energy in his body, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.

With a thought, he began to absorb the free energy around him.

At this moment, not only did the pseudo-godhead begin to recover energy at a terrifying speed, he himself was also recovering at an astonishing speed.

Although his own recovery could not catch up with the pseudo-godhood, it was still half of that.

When the two are added together, the recovery speed is naturally even more terrifying.

However, the energy reserves are now too huge, and what originally only took a dozen seconds now takes several minutes to fully recover.

"You can leave now."

The old voice sounded, "You only have one chance to enter the Vacuum Tomb. Don't go until you are sure you can sweep through the fifth level of Xingyuan."

"Thank you." Lin nodded.

"It's nothing. You are all children conceived in the Beginning Realm. You are the stars."

The old voice smiled.

The next moment, Lin Qing felt the space in front of him change, and when it recovered, he found that he had returned to the fortress where the Star Patrol Council was located.

Nothing seemed to have changed.

But Lin Qing knew that he had changed.

"Next, just practice one more magical skill."

Lin Qing sat down cross-legged and began to think about the follow-up plan. "With my current strength, as long as I have a powerful attack skill, I can definitely sweep the fifth floor of Xingyuan easily."

Before, he could easily resist the siege of demons on the fifth level of Xingyuan with his spinning star skill.

Now that his genes have been optimized, his strength is four times what it was before. If he also learns a powerful attacking skill, won’t it be easy for him to sweep across the fifth level of Xingyuan?
"The four powerful skills of World God will do..."

Lin Qing pondered, "World Skin is also a defense type, Mother River Blood is a domain type divine skill, All Soul Flesh is purely for enhancing physical strength, and Heaven Pillar Bone is for attack and suppression..."

From the characteristics of the four great magical skills and their final combination with "World God", it is not difficult to see the role of the four great magical skills.

Skin, flesh, blood and bones make up a world god with unparalleled power.

"The Pillar Bone uses energy and matter to form extremely powerful attacks and suppression, which can perfectly complement the ability of the Military Commander..."

Lin Qing didn't think much about it and decided: "Well, let's practice Tianzhu Bone..."

His defense is already strong enough, the only flaw is in his attack, so the Tianzhu Bone skill is naturally very suitable for him.

"Before that, give the energy crystal to Jiayi first."

Lin Qing took a look at the nearly transparent energy crystal in his hand, and immediately logged into the second cosmic network to contact Irenado.

……

On that day, Lin Qing found an excuse to leave the Star Patrol Council headquarters, and then found an opportunity in the urban area to hand over this ninth-level energy crystal of the Order System to the person sent by Irenato.

With Zhao Jiayi's talent, as long as he can use this ninth-level energy crystal to sense the high-level energy on the earth, he can transform into a primitive creature on the spot.

"Lin Qing, thank you very much."

In the Dusk Paradise, Irenado thanked Lin Qing in person: "When you pass the original priesthood trial, I will definitely help you with the killing required for priesthood evolution."

"Nothing, I'm just helping Jiayi." Lin Qing shook his head.

Zhao Jiayi is also very talented, and she is also a cosmic messenger. As long as she can solve this problem, she will have great potential in the future.

Moreover, with her spatial ability, as long as she engraved a few more sets of holy words, she would have a chance to pass the trial of the original-level cosmic messenger in the future.

"It will probably take a few months for Jiayi's eyes to mature." Irenado said, "When her eyes mature, you can meet again and I will transplant them to you."

She hesitated for a moment and said, "I will transform Jiayi into a high-level primitive creature as soon as possible during this period of time, so that her vitality will be greater. You can absorb it from her when the time comes, but since this child really likes you, try to leave her with as much vitality as possible."

Her tone was almost full of pleading, but also helplessness.

"Absorbing life? No need."

Lin Weiwei shook her head slightly and asked, "Ms. Irenado, Jiayi's third eye can also evolve by absorbing my vitality, right?"

Irenado nodded slightly. "The third eye can only evolve to the same life level as you at most. It will take about 50,000 years of life to evolve to the level of a higher primitive creature."

She hesitated for a moment, but still sighed: "I know you are a good child and don't want to harm Jiayi, but if you don't get the vitality from Jiayi, this eye will absorb your life. Even if it stops evolving, it will double the natural loss of your life, which is equivalent to two people consuming your life at the same time."

Lin Qing hesitated for a moment and asked, "How long can Jiayi live?"

Irena was silent for a while, then said: "The average lifespan of the Three-Eyed Tribe is very long. When Jiayi was at the high level of primitive creatures, her lifespan was about 100,000 years."

"Okay, I understand." Lin nodded, "Then Jiayi doesn't have to pay anything."

"Need not?"

Irenato was slightly startled, but couldn't help but say, "Are you giving up the talent of this eye? Although I know you are doing this for Jiayi's good, but..."

She felt sorry for her daughter, but she also understood the importance of this eye and Lin Qing.

Originally, she wanted to help her daughter find the sacred text of "Source of Life" so that she could greatly increase her daughter's lifespan.

In this way, if Lin Qing is willing to bear part of the cost himself, his daughter's life expectancy will not be reduced too much.

But this eye represents the ninth level of spatial ability, and it would be a waste to give it up.

If used properly, it is entirely possible to create a cosmic super-power who can make the first-level civilizations bow their heads!
"I can bear the burden myself."

Lin Qing said calmly: "It just so happens that I got a treasure in the Secret Treasury of the Stars, which increased my lifespan by many years. This is nothing to me."

He doesn't care about life span at all.

With the Gate of Eternity, he can be resurrected at any time and return to his peak, which is equivalent to infinite life.

In fact, even without counting the Gate of Eternity, his current lifespan is more than 200,000 years.

The holy text 'Source of Life' can only extend lifespan by 30,000 years at the fifth energy level, but at the sixth energy level it can extend lifespan by 120,000 years.

Moreover, the blood of the giant spirit of the universe also increased the lifespan by 100,000 years.

Even if this eye sucks away 50,000 years, it is nothing.

So... there is no need to suck away Zhao Jiayi's vitality, he can satisfy the vitality needs of this third eye by himself.

Perhaps for other people, if they do not absorb the vitality of the three-eyed tribe, not only will they have to consume their own lifespan to evolve the eye, but their lifespan will also be halved. The price is too outrageous.

But to him, this price was nothing.

"How many years do you have to live now?" Irenato couldn't help but ask.

She also understood that Lin Qing was so outstanding that he must have obtained more than one treasure in the Secret Treasury of Stars.

"I don't know."

Lin Qing said casually: "Anyway, it is definitely longer than the history of Yuanchen civilization."

"So many years?" Irenato was stunned.

"Ms. Irenado, don't worry."

Lin smiled and said, "I won't waste Jiayi's eye. This loss of life is nothing to me."

……

In the blink of an eye, another two months have passed.

"Finally, I have paid off Xuanxing's debt..."

In the training room at the Star Patrol Council headquarters, Lin Qingwei breathed a sigh of relief. "Now that I am familiar with the nine powers required for the 'Heavenly Pillar Bone' skill, I can start practicing..."

Although his life level has not been improved now, after the optimization of genes, his utilization of energy has become stronger and the speed of condensing pseudo-godhood has also been much faster.

It can save some time.

The essence of the nine powers can only be recognized and repaid one by one.

Even with four advance positions, it would probably take six months before one could truly master the magical skill of 'Tianzhu Bone'.

suddenly--

"Drip!"

The Star Patrol Council's intelligent system suddenly sent a message.

Lin Qing immediately clicked it and took a look.

[Lin Qing, a star patroller, please log in to the Second Universe Network immediately. There is a star patrol mission to be released.]

……

……

In the desolate desert, three spherical black spaceships with a diameter of only a few meters slowly landed and sank deep into the sand.

Then, the hatches of three small spacecraft slowly opened.

Three figures in black combat uniforms flew out of the spaceship and floated in the air. Each person's face was obscured by the helmet of the combat uniform.

“Is this Earth?”

"It is said that it was once the main star of a 1.9-level civilization?"

“It looks pretty backward.”

The three alien visitors began to scan with their telekinesis and portable instruments and chatted casually.

"Captain, is it true that the Zhixing people's fortress floating in outer space didn't find us?"

The tall and graceful woman among them said, "I heard that there is a seventh-level fortress hidden in the satellite called the moon."

The tall man floating next to him shook his head and said, "It's okay. If it weren't for the employer's tricks that caused some problems with the seventh-level fortress, we wouldn't even have a chance to sneak into the earth."

"I see." The tall woman smiled, "Then let's start the mission. Is our target an indigenous genius on Earth?"

The tall man nodded and said, "Yes, I heard that he joined the Star Patrol Council half a year ago. At that time, he had the strength of the second level of the Star Abyss. Now he has transformed into a high-level primitive creature. It is said that he also has multiple sets of holy texts."

"This pre-Earth civilization is quite unusual. A little guy has so many sets of sacred texts?"

The tall woman was surprised and said, "Isn't he at least at the third level of Xingyuan now, or even close to the fourth level? But he's just average, so there's actually no need for the three of us to go out."

"Don't underestimate the enemy."

The thin man who had been silent all this time suddenly spoke calmly: "Overestimate the opponent as much as possible and treat him as the fourth level of Xingyuan."
