Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 176 The Future Lord of Earth
Did you start preparing twenty years ago?
Lin Qing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Yes, it must be difficult to manufacture a bomb of such terrifying power, and more than 7,000 of them must have been prepared a long time in advance.

“This is just a means of self-protection.”

Chu Hongjun said slowly: "Two years later, when the main force of extraterrestrial civilization arrives on Earth, this threat will not be able to stop them. If there is really no chance, I will detonate the bomb."

Qi Lingxiao looked at him suddenly.

"Do you really want to detonate it?" Irenato couldn't help but ask.

"of course."

Chu Hongjun glanced at her and said, "The treasures of the Earth are limited, and the Earth is more special than extraterrestrial civilizations imagine. If it is exposed to the universe like this, it will be a big trouble."

He paused, "Or do you think it would be better if the Earthlings were treated as slaves or experimental materials and sold at will by extraterrestrial civilizations?"

"After all, there are eight billion people..."

Irenado sighed and said, "You are not the one who perishes along with the enemy because of emotions. What will happen after you destroy the earth?"

Chu Hongjun said: "During this period, the extraterrestrial civilization will try to revive the Earth and re-form a planet with life, trying to connect the former civilization ruins to the Earth again. This period of time will last at least hundreds of years, and it is also a breathing period."

He glanced at Irenado and said, "I'm ready. You will be in charge of the Fire Plan when the time comes."

Irena was silent for a while, then sighed, "I'm not good at fighting, so I can't help, but I still hope that the Earth won't face such an ending. Or... is such an ending really worthy of the sacrifice of so many of our compatriots?"

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

“Man always regards himself as the center of the universe.”

Chu Hongjun said expressionlessly: "But the universe is so cold that civilization will eventually have only two outcomes: survival or death. If the death of one era can become fertilizer for the next era, it is already the best outcome."

He looked at Qi Lingxiao who was silent beside him, "Qi Lingxiao, compared to seventy years ago, you have grown a lot. Do you have the determination to carry this civilization now?"

Qi Lingxiao scratched his head helplessly and sighed, "I don't want to be a leader, I just want more people to survive. But you told me that I must first learn to give up. At the end of the world, I thought I had learned it, but I didn't expect that there would be a day to give up eight billion people..."

Chu Hongjun was silent for a moment, then said, "Can you see the future?"

"The future?" Qi Lingxiao asked doubtfully.

"If the Earth civilization can survive in the future, it may own tens of thousands of planets as its territory."

Chu Hongjun said slowly: "The population is counted in hundreds of trillions, the average life expectancy is over a thousand years, primitive creatures emerge in an endless stream, star creatures are also constantly born, the territory continues to expand, and it is even evolving towards the legendary second-level civilization..."

He looked at Qi Lingxiao, "A future like this, or a tragic future where the people of Earth become slaves or commodities... everyone knows what to choose, right?"

Qi Lingxiao said helplessly: "I understand what you mean, but this is eight billion people after all... No matter what the future is like, it has nothing to do with them. Are they willing to sacrifice themselves?"

"You always do."

Chu Hongjun shook his head slightly. "You have too strong a sense of responsibility and are too empathetic to others. If it weren't for your good luck, people like you would have died in the end times long ago."

"I know I'm not a suitable leader." Qi Lingxiao spread his hands, "But the future you talked about may not be realized, let alone the second-level civilization. That's still far away from us, right?"

"I also understand that the most suitable leader of Earth civilization is not you, but..." Chu Hongjun did not continue speaking, but turned to look at Lin Qing.

"What do you think?"

Chu Hongjun looked at Lin Qing, "Lin Qing, do you think such a future is possible?"

Lin Qing thought about it seriously, and then said seriously: "I think as long as we delay, it will definitely come true, and I am ready."

He is destined to crush all geniuses of the first-level civilization, and with the power of the tenth energy level, it is only a matter of time before the Earth civilization grows to the peak of the first-level civilization.

It is because we don’t understand the second-level civilization that we are uncertain.

But there should be hope.

The future that Chu Hongjun talked about must be based on this point.

"That's good."

Chu Hongjun nodded slightly and said, "You continue to practice. I've given you these two years. It depends on how far you can go. At least you have to become a primitive priest. It would be even better if you can transform yourself into a star."

Lin Qing nodded and said, "I will go to Ruins No. 1 in a few months. It would be best if I can achieve the original priesthood before the Sky Islands open this year."

He paused and asked, "What other relics of previous civilizations are there? It would be best if they can help with the original priesthood trials."

Qi Lingxiao asked doubtfully: "Lin Qing, you have mastered the divine skills, so the primitive level of the military commander divine position trial should be a piece of cake, right?"

Normally, as long as one has multiple sets of holy texts, one will have a very high chance of passing the trial of the original rare priesthood.

Those who master powerful skills can easily sweep the entire field.

Lin Qing considered what to say, he didn't know how to say that he was mainly worried about the trial of the 'Son of God'.

To face a genius from a second-level civilization, just one magical skill is far from enough.

"There are six ruins in total."

Chu Hongjun seemed to have seen through Lin Qing's thoughts and said directly: "Relic No. 1, the 'Vacuum Tomb', should be the most important relic of the former civilization. Although the entrance to Relic No. 2 has been found, the requirements for entering are too high."

"You have already been to Ruins No. 3, 'Secret Vault of the Stars'."

"Ruins No. 4 is called the 'Golden Chamber of Commerce'. As long as you pay enough, you can buy or resell it through the channels of the Golden Chamber of Commerce. However, you must be a three-star space citizen to be eligible. The Zhixing people only know the existence of Ruins No. 4, but don't know how to get in."

"Only Qi Lingxiao has entered Ruins No. 5, the 'Silver Labyrinth'. It is mainly a place to test your luck, and it also has certain requirements for your comprehension."

Chu Hongjun said: "As for Ruins No. 6, only the entrance has appeared, but we still don't know what the requirements are for opening it. It seems to be related to Ruins No. 1."

Lin Qing was thoughtful.

It seems that he can only try the silver maze in the No. 5 ruins.

"Relic No. 5 depends only on luck, nothing else matters."

Chu Hongjun said meaningfully: "Someone from extraterrestrial civilization has tried to enter the Silver Labyrinth to explore with an energy incarnation, but the Silver Labyrinth changes every time. If you are not lucky enough, you will never be able to pass it."

Qi Lingxiao also nodded and said, "That's true. In fact, I don't know how I got through it."

Lin Qing was stunned.

He had to try it anyway.

"Don't think too much, just practice well."

After Chu Hongjun finished speaking, the telekinetic projection disappeared without a trace.

Qi Lingxiao also nodded to Lin Qing, and then disappeared without a trace.

"Lin Qing."

Irenado said, "In a few months, Jiayi will be able to transplant the third eye to you. You can see each other more often in Twilight Paradise. The child misses you often."

Lin nodded slightly.

……

The second cosmic web.

Dusk Paradise.

Inside the meteorite-shaped spacecraft, Chu Hongjun stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking out the dim window, while Qi Lingxiao and Irenado also appeared in the cabin.

"Old Chu."

Qi Lingxiao said, "I plan to try the Star-level Priesthood Trial next month."

"Have you mastered another magical skill?" Chu Hongjun glanced at him.

"No."

Qi Lingxiao shook his head. "I have already thoroughly understood the essence of the nine kinds of eighth-level powers, but I just haven't figured out how they are combined into a magical skill. I really don't know what to do..."

He added: "However, I have always had good luck. Maybe I will suddenly realize it during the priesthood trial?"

"You have good luck." Chu Hongjun glanced at him, "But as your level gets higher and higher, the influence of luck will become smaller and smaller. You can't put all your hopes on it."

“I’m ready to fail.”

Qi Lingxiao said: "If I have to wait for an epiphany, I don't know how long it will take. It's better to try it directly, rather than being forced to kill eight billion compatriots in two years. Anyway, if I can't succeed, it won't change anything. At worst, I can only give it a try."

"You are not ruthless enough, and you are indeed not suitable to be a leader." Chu Hongjun shook his head slightly, "I can't persuade you, so just go."

“I didn’t want to be one.”

Qi Lingxiao shook his head and said, "I am only suitable for leading an adventure, not being a leader of a civilization. You should let Irena do it."

Chu Hongjun glanced at him, then looked at Irenado, shook his head and said, "Neither of you is suitable."

"But..." Irenado hesitated for a moment and said, "Your attitude towards Lin Qing seems to be different. Do you think he is suitable?" "He is indeed suitable to be the Lord of the Earth."

Chu Hongjun nodded slightly, "I have investigated Lin Qing's past. Although he has a bottom line, he is also cold enough. Apart from the people he cares about, he doesn't care about the life and death of others."

He pushed his glasses down on the bridge of his nose. "In the years since he joined the patrol, he seems to have a special obsession with peace and stability. As the highest commander of a region, he has never been soft-hearted when it comes to killing people for the sake of stability. He is ruthless enough and is also good at using violence, which is just right for this period."

"This is very much to my taste." Qi Lingxiao nodded in agreement, "I like it too."

"You only know how to fight back openly." Chu Hongjun shook his head slightly, "If you weren't lucky enough, you would have died in the end times."

Qi Lingxiao laughed: "Then I am not dead, I have escaped danger time and time again."

Chu Hongjun didn't say much, just said: "However, now we can confirm... the Zhixing people really let Kadoan take over the body and come to Earth."

"It must be Kadoan." Irenado nodded and said, "Then Lei Tong directly confirmed that Jiayi is with me. It must be Kadoan who determined Jiayi's location through the blood of the Three-Eyed Clan."

"Find him and kill him."

Qi Lingxiao said: "That Kadoan is the only scholar in the field of life among the Zhixing people. He has made great contributions to the Yuanchen civilization. Take this opportunity to kill him."

"I'm afraid it's not that easy." Chu Hongjun shook his head and said, "Although Kadoan is only a scholar, his combat power must be extremely high. He has lived for too long, and his life transformation must have reached the peak a long time ago. If he deliberately hides and disguises himself, we will never be able to find him."

Irenado said, "Anyway, as long as Jiayi stays with me and only allows people with my spiritual mark to get close, there's no need to worry about Kadoan getting close to me."

"But he certainly won't give up."

Chu Hongjun said: "The Zhixing people must also understand that the 7,400 zero-point energy bombs are just a deterrent, so they will definitely find a way to secretly seize Zhao Jiayi, the three-eyed genius. Once they succeed, everything will happen, and we will not be able to really destroy the earth."

"Nothing." Qi Lingxiao said, "That Kadoan has lowered his life level and poses no threat to us. If he dares to show up, I will beat him into a pulp with one stick."

“Still need to pay attention.”

Chu Hongjun said: "After all, he is a star priest, but his life level is not high enough, but his methods are still the same."

……

……

In the top-level conference room of Zhixing Group.

"Lord Cadogan."

The white-haired, three-eyed man frowned and asked, "Are you sure you give up?"

"Irenato is guarding the three-eyed genius. I have no chance." The silver-haired old man 'Cadoan' shook his head and said, "She can only relax her vigilance and wait for the three-eyed genius to transplant his eyes."

"Transplant out?"

The white-haired three-eyed man frowned and said, "Once the transplant is successful, the eye will be connected through life and consciousness. How can we take it away?"

"I have studied the Three-Eyed Tribe for many years and I have some tricks up my sleeve." Kadoan shook his head slightly. "Even if the eyes are transplanted out, I am confident that I can perform a second transplant, but it will consume a lot of vitality."

At this point, he pondered for a moment and said, "I guess the eyes of the three-eyed genius were probably really prepared for Lin Qing, so those three people valued Lin Qing so much. Moreover, Lin Qing is also a life-type talent, which happens to be similar to the order-type talent of the three-eyed genius, so the conditions are met."

"Lin Qing..."

The white-haired three-eyed man frowned slightly and said, "Do you really want to touch him? Chu Hongjun said... there are three situations that will cause the earth to explode. I suspect one of them is about Lin Qing's safety."

"He was just trying to intimidate you," Kadoan said in a low voice. "He deliberately didn't explain the three situations so that you wouldn't dare to act rashly and let you guess what the three situations were. If he had made it clear, we could have avoided them accurately."

He sneered, "Unless I can hide it from those three people, I have no intention of killing Lin Qing. I just want to wait until he transplants that eye, and then I will transplant another one."

The white-haired, three-eyed man pondered in silence.

After a long silence, he shook his head and said, "This may be difficult to achieve. Lin Qing has mastered divine skills, so it will be easy for him to pass the Primordial Clergy Trial. After he becomes a Primordial Clergyman in the future, he will be able to pass the sixth level of Xingyuan and become the Speaker of the Star Patrol Council."

Kadoan smiled and said, "Do you think that I can't take down Lin Qing after I lowered my life level?"

“Divine skills are divine skills after all.” The white-haired three-eyed man said tactfully.

He knew that this Lord Cadogan was just a researcher on the direction of life.

Although he has done a very thorough study of life and his transformation of his own life form is also amazing, he himself is very powerful and has even barely passed the eighth level of the Star Abyss, but after his life level has been reduced so much, his strength is only comparable to that of the Speaker of the Star Patrol Council.

With this kind of strength, how can he deal with a genius like Lin Qing who has mastered magical skills?
"I haven't lived these hundreds of thousands of years in vain." Kadoan shook his head slightly, "Just watch."

……

……

The damage to Zhixing Group’s fortress caused an uproar in the entire metropolitan area.

How could such a thing happen to Zhixing Group, the most powerful company in the metropolitan area?
Some people even discovered that on this day, almost all the members of the Zhixing Group under the Star Creatures were dead!

But the Zhixing Group did not explain. Instead, it slightly repaired the fortress and then drove into space to replace it with a new one.

This has further confused all parties in the metropolitan area.

After suffering such a huge loss, Zhixing Group did not give any response. What on earth happened?
Except for a very few insiders, almost no one knows the truth.

As time passed, the urban area gradually became quiet again.

Lin Qing was also immersed in cultivation all day long.

……

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

The day of November 7th.

"finally……"

In the quiet training room, Lin Qing exhaled slowly: "Finally, there is a new advance vacancy."

A month ago, he had already understood and mastered all nine kinds of power essences required for the 'Heavenly Pillar Bone' magical skill. The only thing left was the last step - to fuse the nine kinds of power essences into a whole and skillfully form the magical skill.

"order."

Lin Qing's heart moved, "Advance, sixth level of divine skill 'Heavenly Pillar Bone'."

As a large amount of inexplicable information emerged in his mind, he gradually understood how he should develop his magical skills.

This is originally a magical skill that can only be mastered through sudden enlightenment and a flash of inspiration. Normally, it is hard to come by, and it is normal not to encounter it in your lifetime.

But for him, as long as there is such a possible future, it can be advanced!

"Heavenly Pillar Bone..."

After a while, Lin Qing opened his eyes and murmured, "So this is the Tianzhu bone... The combination method is really ingenious..."

It’s not difficult for those who know how to do it, but it’s difficult for those who don’t know how to do it.

If you don’t figure out how to combine them, you may never figure it out in your entire life.

Once you understand it, you will naturally understand the techniques and the mysterious feeling.

"One must have the strength to easily sweep through the fifth level of Xingyuan to obtain the status of the original level of the Beginning Realm."

Lin Qing thought to himself, "With my current strength, it should be easy to sweep across the fifth level of Xingyuan."

Without further speculation, he immediately sank his consciousness into the Star Transmission Tower in his body and tried the Star Abyss Trial.

half an hour.

Lin Qing opened his eyes again and smiled: "The attacking skills are really different. I couldn't even break the defense of the six original blood demons before, but now I can kill them in one blow..."

The magical skill of spinning stars.

After all, it is a defensive skill. Relying on its own rolling power, it can barely be used for attack. But even with his super high genetic optimization index, the lethality is just so-so and far inferior to the defense.

But the Tianzhu Bone is different, it is a pure attacking skill!

"However, the added value of the holy words 'Blood Edge' and 'Endless Divine Power' is of no use..."

Lin Qing secretly shook his head, "Next time I go to the Sky Islands, I will find a way to exchange for a few more useful sets of holy texts..."

He just tested it himself.

Compared with the use and utilization of energy by the divine skill Tianzhu Bone, the bonus brought by the holy text is almost negligible.

"But it's okay now."

Lin Qing stood up and said, "We can go to Ruins No. 1, the Vacuum Tomb. The Primal Clergy Trial will take up to two months. We must go to participate in the trial before the end of October. Otherwise, we may not be able to make it to the Sky Islands at the end of the year."

"That is to say, if I want to go to the Sky Islands, I only have three months to practice at most."

He took a deep breath, "I hope that the time acceleration in the Vacuum Tomb will allow me to fully cultivate into the entire "World God" in time..."
