Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 190 Crazy Plan

With one palm, everything is destroyed.

No matter what high-tech facilities, instruments, buildings... no matter whether they are visible or hidden, they will be shattered on the spot by this slap, and life activities will be completely wiped out.

The shattered wreckage of the space fortress also fell into the sea, causing a tsunami-like wave.

Then, it was slowly swallowed by the sea.

The huge hand that stretched out from the fortress also disappeared without a trace, as if it had never appeared.

"It's clean, how nice."

Lin Qing took a look at the gradually sinking ruins of the fortress below, and then turned into a stream of light and flew away.

"With my current strength, it is indeed very easy to break the fifth-level fortress from the inside."

While restraining his breath and flying, Lin Qing was secretly recalling the process of tearing apart the space fortress just now.

With his current strength, he naturally did not take Carlo seriously. Although the other party claimed to be ranked in the top ten on Earth, he was only a pretty good level among the sixth level of Star Abyss, only slightly stronger than the prince of the Fallen Star Clan during the trial of the Son of God.

After his priesthood was elevated to the Son of God, his strength skyrocketed, reaching at least the seventh level peak. He still had to go to Xingyuan to try it out.

The shocking explosion that just happened from the World God, at a close distance, would have seriously injured most people at the seventh level of Xingyuan, let alone Carlo.

Under normal circumstances, only combat-oriented star clergymen have the absolute certainty of defeating a fifth-order fortress, which is equivalent to the strength of about the eighth level of the Star Abyss, but it would be much easier to blast it from the inside.

"Fortunately, Chu Hongjun also knows that Kadoan is my clone."

Lin Qing seemed to be thinking about something. "The message Chu Hongjun sent to Cardoan's clone just now... asked me to kill Carlo, blow up the fifth-level fortress, and escape on my own?"

Chu Hongjun might have meant for him to kill Carlo and then use the zero-point energy bomb to destroy the fifth-level fortress.

He directly released the World God, and the effect was the same.

"Lin Qing."

At this moment, a telepathic voice suddenly sounded in my mind, and Irenado's familiar voice came: "Did you destroy the fortress just now by yourself?"

There was an incredible and uncontrollable shock in her telepathic voice transmission.

With Irenado's strength, she could naturally see that Lin Qing was just a primitive priest, a mere sixth-level life form, but how could he have such terrifying strength?

This incredible strength was almost beyond her understanding.

"Correct."

Lin Qing didn't say much, just sent a voice message: "I'm coming to see you now, where are you?"

"I'll cover up your tracks. Come to the underground base we were in last time." Irenado transmitted the message, "It just so happens that Chu Hongjun has a plan to discuss with you."

……

"boom!"

The space fortress, like a rolling giant wheel, broke through the outer layer of the atmosphere with a bang, landed like a meteorite over the second restricted area, and slowly rotated and hovered.

This giant ship-shaped space fortress is the Lone Star Fortress that the Zhixing Group originally hid on the moon.

As a seventh-order space fortress, when it was started at full power, it took less than twenty seconds to cross a distance of more than 10,000 kilometers and arrive here from the urban area.

Beams of detection light quickly covered the nearby sea area.

Teams of soldiers wearing high-tech armor flew out and began searching the isolated island and nearby waters.

Soon.

"what?"

In the meeting room inside the Lone Star Fortress, Lei Tong's face turned extremely ugly after listening to the report of the intelligent system. "The fortress was destroyed? Carlo is also dead? All the people and equipment are destroyed?"

"Yes." The intelligent system replied, "Judging from the damage to the fortress, it seems that it was hit by some kind of terrifying explosion. Although it was not a zero-point energy bomb, its power was comparable to that of a zero-point energy bomb. It exploded from inside the fortress and directly caused Carlo's instant death. He didn't even have time to log on to the second universe network to send a message."

"It's not a zero-point energy bomb?" Lei Tong gritted his teeth, "What is it?"

"I don't know."

The intelligent system said: "But it can be confirmed that it is a pure energy explosion, without any residue. It is also a vacuum-level bomb."

"It's normal for Chu Hongjun to create other bombs." Lei Tong said in a low voice: "What about the surveillance? The surveillance inside this fortress is all transmitted in real time, right?"

"The holographic projection monitoring inside the fortress is transmitted via optical signals within the planet."

The intelligent system said: "Although it is uploaded and stored in real time, there is a delay of about 0.0076 seconds for all the information in such a huge fortress to be uploaded at the same time. As of 0.0076 seconds before the monitoring was destroyed, it was not discovered how Lin Qing caused the explosion."

While the intelligent system was answering, rays of light formed holographic projections, replaying the surveillance records before the interior of the fortress was blown up.

"Tell me...if a zero-point energy bomb explodes here, will you die?"

"Really? How sad..."

The surveillance records inside the fortress ended here.

"I didn't see him take out the bomb." Lei Tong frowned and said, "From here on, within just 0.0076 seconds, the fortress surveillance was destroyed?"

However, he also knew in his heart that this was normal.

0.0076 seconds may seem short, but for someone at his level, if it were a high-speed battle, it would be enough to fight at full strength thousands of times.

There is a 0.0017 second delay in uploading surveillance records within the fortress. As long as the surveillance equipment is destroyed within 0.0076 seconds, there will naturally be no time to upload the records.

"Yes."

The intelligent system replied: "The satellite monitoring of this restricted area was also shut down by the intruder at that time. We can only confirm the power of the explosion from the traces at the scene. It is comparable to a zero-point energy bomb. Only those with the strength of the seventh level of Xingyuan can survive such an explosion."

"What about the satellite?" Lei Tong frowned and asked, "Satellite has ground surveillance records, right?"

"All satellites that can be monitored have been forcibly shut down due to the invasion." The intelligent system said: "It is suspected that it was done by Chu Hongjun."

"Chu Hongjun..."

Lei Tong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Tell me the conclusion of your deduction and analysis."

The intelligent system replied: "Lin Qing must have some special ability to save his life, which allowed him to survive a zero-point energy explosion. After he was forced to enter the fortress, he detonated the bomb in some covert way, killing Carlo and destroying the fortress. He relied on some method to save his life and escaped after the explosion."

"Save my life..." Lei Tong thought.

He didn't find it strange that he had this ability to save his life.

The relic space of the Earth’s former civilization must have been left behind by a second-level civilization, and it is possible that Lin Qing obtained some life-saving item from it.

As for relying on Lin Qing himself?
He had never considered it at all, and the intelligent system had never taken this condition into account.

Because it's totally irrational.

A newly promoted primitive priest, even if he has mastered divine skills, can only have the strength of the sixth level of Xingyuan at best.

The explosion just now was comparable to a zero-point energy bomb. Even if one was at the seventh level of Xingyuan, if he was not good at defense and had poor self-preservation, he would probably be killed on the spot.

How could such a terrifying power be related to Lin Qing himself?
"Damn..."

Lei Tong's face was extremely gloomy. "Lin Qing was clearly going to participate in the priesthood trial, but he actually carried this terrifying bomb with him..."

The most important thing is that he never thought that Lin Qing would have such an incredible ability to save his life!
The power of an explosion of this magnitude is enough to destroy all matter and energy and form an absolute vacuum, so many abilities that seem to allow rebirth and resurrection are completely useless.

For example, some very magical holy texts can even achieve "rebirth through a drop of blood", but they are still doomed to die in such an explosion.

Including the soul, which is essentially a mixture of spirit and energy, and will also be destroyed.

So, it is very difficult to survive such an explosion.

Only those precious treasures involving space could have this life-saving ability.

"The civilization before Earth was indeed amazing..."

Lei Tong took a deep breath, "How many treasures did these guys find in the ruins of the previous civilization? Such precious treasures saved his life..."

Thinking of this, he suddenly sneered: "But in order to keep Lin Qing alive, he would rather use up such a precious treasure. Qi Lingxiao did not take action, which shows that his priesthood trial has failed..."

In his opinion, once Qi Lingxiao succeeded, he would be completely invincible on Earth and there would be no need to hide.

This kind of life-saving item is more precious than the entire Zhixing Group. What's the point?
"Humph……"

Lei Tong stared coldly at the remains of the fortress that had been fished out from the seabed below, "When the opening of the Sky Islands ends, I'll show you what's going on..."

If he wasn't worried that Chu Hongjun would be pushed too far and the Earth would become a dead planet, making it impossible to open the Sky Islands this time, he would have come to the door right now.

"Forget it... just a Lin Qing."

Lei Tong took a deep breath and said, "In just one and a half years, the army of our Yuanchen civilization will descend on Earth. By then, no matter how talented you are, it will be useless..."

……

……

In a base hidden deep underground.

"Lin Qing, you're back."

Zhao Jiayi almost flew into Lin Qing's arms, hugged his waist, raised her head, and looked at him with a pair of shining blue eyes, "Did you succeed in the trial?"

"Of course." Lin Qing smiled and looked at her again, "How many sets of holy words did you carve for Ms. Irenado?"

Before he left, he left behind a large piece of Star Origin Stone, which allowed Zhao Jiayi to carve the holy text faster and save time on accumulating energy.

"Fourth group."

Zhao Jiayi touched her belly again and muttered, "But I don't seem to be pregnant..."

"…You are still young, don't think about these things." Lin Qing looked at her speechlessly.

"Don't you want it?" Zhao Jiayi asked puzzledly.

"The earth is still in crisis, and my strength is not enough. Let's wait." Lin Qing shook his head.

"Oh, let's talk about it later." Zhao Jiayi nodded obediently, and then sent a telepathic message: "Mom may be using telekinesis to spy on us. Do you want to sleep tonight?"

"…Have you thought about it?"

"Um……"

"Come tonight then."

The two chatted for a while via telepathy, and then Lin Qing went to the meeting room at the base to find Chu Hongjun and the other two.

……

"Lin Qing, Irenado said that you didn't use Chu Hongjun's zero-point energy bomb to destroy the fortress just now?"

In the meeting room, Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but ask as soon as he saw Lin Qing.

Lin Qing nodded and said, "Anyway, the effect is the same. Dean Chu didn't tell me to use the zero-point energy bomb. He just told me to destroy the fortress, so I came here by myself."

Irenado couldn't help but exclaimed: "I can't even destroy a fifth-level space fortress."

She is a special clergyman in the direction of civilization guide. She is not a combat type, but is better at guiding and discovering talents, and is suitable for education and teaching.

The combat aspect is quite poor.

Although she is a star priest, and a rare priest, she is actually only at the seventh level of the Star Abyss. "It's higher than what I calculated, and there is progress?" Chu Hongjun also glanced at Lin Qing.

"How did you do it?"

Qi Lingxiao was more and more surprised. "You are a primitive priest now, right? Your life level is just a high-level primitive creature, a sixth-level life form."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "My divine skills are quite strong, and the treasures I got from the Secret Treasury of the Stars have also made my gene optimization index higher, so I have this strength."

"The legendary combination of magical skills?" Qi Lingxiao suddenly understood something.

He sighed and said, "When I was receiving the divine skills inheritance in the Sky Islands, I also heard about the combination of divine skills. Although I learned the three powerful divine skills of that set, I must become a disciple to learn the final inheritance that combines the three divine skills into one, and my talent and understanding are not enough to meet the threshold of becoming a disciple."

"Become a disciple?" Lin Qing suddenly realized.

He suddenly remembered that when he was trying to take the test of the military commander's magical skills, as long as he met the requirements, the highest option he could have was to become his disciple.

But he only learned the second skill, 'Spinning Star'.

However, this time when I go to the Sky Islands, I can receive the inheritance of the first and third divine skills. Then I will try to see if I can learn more from my master.

"anyway……"

Lin Qing suddenly looked at Qi Lingxiao and said, "Master Qi seems to be in a good mood. I can't tell what his priesthood is. Doesn't it look like he has failed the priesthood trial?"

Actually...

He has confirmed that Qi Lingxiao's priesthood trial has been successful.

The realm of demigod can easily detect other primitive-level priesthoods, and only the star-level priesthoods can prevent him from seeing through.

At this moment, he could not see through Qi Lingxiao's priesthood.

This means that Qi Lingxiao is already a star priest!

"Correct."

Qi Lingxiao smiled, "I have such a good character, a natural born with good fortune, how could I fail? I really had an epiphany during the trial. After I mastered the three magical skills, I swept the entire field during the trial!"

He looked at Chu Hongjun speechlessly. "If Chu Hongjun hadn't insisted on making me pretend to have failed the trial, I would have driven these bastards off the earth long ago!"

With his strength as a star priest and three powerful magical skills, he is definitely capable of passing the ninth level of Star Abyss!
Such strength can be regarded as the highest level even in most first-level civilizations.

Only a level 1.9 civilization might have something more terrifying.

"Dean Chu's plan?"

Lin Qing suddenly realized and said, "It seems that Dean Chu wants to do more than just expel these extraterrestrial civilizations from the earth?"

Chu Hongjun heard this, glanced at Qi Lingxiao, and said: "If you can be as calm as Lin Qing and have a certain brain, I won't have to hide my plans from you every time."

Qi Lingxiao snorted and said, "I will definitely stay calm this time. Anyway, I am invincible on Earth. Just tell me directly."

"I reject."

Chu Hongjun said calmly: "I can be sure that as long as I tell you the plan, you will definitely refuse it."

"Ah? What do you mean? Are you going to hide it from me again?" Qi Lingxiao stood up suddenly and glared at Chu Hongjun fiercely, feeling so angry that his teeth were itching.

"I will use telekinesis to tell Irenado and Lin Qing the part you cannot accept." Chu Hongjun said calmly, "Just cooperate with me on the part of the plan I tell you."

"You are treating me as a tool again, right?" Qi Lingxiao said with a dark face.

Chu Hongjun seemed not to have heard it. He turned to look at Lin Qing and Irenado and said, "Then let me explain the plan."

Qi Lingxiao's mouth twitched slightly: "Just wait, after the Earth crisis is over, I will beat you to death sooner or later!"

"We'll see if we can live to see that day."

Chu Hongjun glanced at him and then said, "The purpose of this plan, just like what Lin Qing said, is not just to expel extraterrestrial civilizations from the earth."

He paused and said, "In other words, what's the point of just driving out the existing extraterrestrial civilizations on Earth? In a year and a half, the Earth will be open, and that will be the real crisis."

"Then at least we can get revenge, right?" Qi Lingxiao said.

"Is this what you call revenge?"

Chu Hongjun glanced at him and said, "Extraterrestrial forces such as Zhixing Group are just tools for those extraterrestrial civilizations to colonize the earth. Throwing away the tools is not revenge at all."

Lin Qing suddenly discovered that Chu Hongjun's extremely rational conclusion coincided with his own.

The Zhixing people almost caused the complete isolation of the human race on Earth. It would be too easy for the Zhixing people to just drive the Zhixing Group out.

"First of all, you have to understand one thing."

Chu Hongjun said: "For the Earth, the real crisis has never been the Zhixing Group, or even the Yuanchen Civilization. With Qi Lingxiao's current strength, does the Earth civilization have no right to negotiate with the Yuanchen Civilization? As long as they are willing to share the benefits, this is not a crisis at all."

"Then what is the real crisis?" Qi Lingxiao couldn't help asking, and then said: "Let me make it clear in advance that I will not accept the result of a peaceful negotiation with those smart star dogs."

“This outcome never existed from the beginning.”

Chu Hongjun glanced at him, then slowly said: "The real crisis of the earth...is that we are too weak."

Irenado and Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but be stunned.

"too weak……"

Lin Qing was thoughtful.

"Perhaps you don't have enough knowledge and concepts about the treasures of the Earth." Chu Hongjun said, "But after I have a certain understanding of the pre-Earth civilization, the conclusion I came to made me understand this truth immediately."

He glanced at Lin Qing and said, "Lin Qing, do you think the pre-Earth civilization was a second-level civilization?"

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what a level 2 civilization is, but from what I know so far... there should be more than that."

nonsense.

The ninety-nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine steps of the Bronze Demon Mountain, from the ten thousandth to the ninety thousandth step, the rewards are all the guiding marks of the second-level civilization.

However, after one hundred thousand levels, the reward is the guiding mark of the third-level civilization!
Although he was not sure whether a Level 2 civilization was qualified to enter a Level 3 civilization, no matter how he looked at it, the pre-Earth civilization did not look like a Level 2 civilization.

Chu Hongjun nodded slightly and said softly: "Then I can tell you for sure that the pre-Earth civilization could not be a Level 2 civilization, it must be a Level 3 civilization."

Lin Qing thought so too.

The highest level of civilization is level four, and there are only two level four civilizations, namely the Void Gods and the Star Demons. Therefore, the previous civilization of the Earth was either level two or level three.

"How can you be sure?" Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but ask.

Chu Hongjun said slowly: "Level 1.9 civilization is the use of energy and matter, while Level civilization is the peak of the use of space. The reason why Level civilization is special is that it has also begun to use space."

He paused and said, "As for the third-level civilization, it is said that the use of time is completely mature, and the use of time and space has exceeded the imagination of other civilizations."

Lin Qing's heart was shocked.

In the vacuum tomb, the method of storing star source stones is to make time stand still!
Even the space where the entire vacuum tomb is located is a self-contained loop, like an independent space and time!
"This time, Lin Qing went to the Vacuum Tomb, which made me completely sure that the previous civilization of the Earth was a third-level civilization."

Chu Hongjun said in a low voice: "As a treasure of the third-level civilization, even if there is only a small amount left, once the second-level civilization knows about it, it will probably drive the second-level civilization crazy, right?"

He glanced at the three people and said, "The Earth is now like a child carrying a bag of gold, walking in a slum. This is the real danger!"

Qi Lingxiao was stunned for several seconds before he said unconfidently, "A level 2 civilization... I don't think we can defeat them..."

"In the eyes of the second-level civilizations, the first-level civilizations are like ant nests that can be destroyed at will."

Chu Hongjun glanced at Qi Lingxiao and said, "You have reached the end of the path to priesthood under normal circumstances. You should understand what I mean."

Qi Lingxiao nodded helplessly.

He then asked, "So what are you going to do?"

“Two key points.”

Chu Hongjun said: "Keep it secret and save your life."

He paused and said, "There are rumors in the Milky Way that there are treasures left by a Level 1.9 civilization on Earth. This will only attract Level civilizations. Let's keep it this way. The high-level Zhixing people have determined that the civilization before the Earth was a Level civilization."

Lin Qing said thoughtfully: "Completely destroy the Yuanchen civilization?"

"This is really the best way to keep it secret if you can."

Chu Hongjun said: "The threat of Yuanchen civilization to us is not that big. What we are most afraid of now is that the 1.9-level civilization will also hear the news and rush over. That would be very troublesome. I am afraid that the people on Earth will even find it difficult to save their own lives."

"Level 1.9 civilization..." Qi Lingxiao took a deep breath and said, "I'm not sure I can fight against a Level 1.9 civilization... Can your plan protect itself against a Level 1.9 civilization?"

"can."

Chu Hongjun nodded and said, "For this, the most important thing is...to seize the seventh-level space fortress of Zhixing Group."

"A seventh-order space fortress?" Qi Lingxiao asked in confusion, "A seventh-order fortress is quite powerful, but it poses no threat to someone like me who is at the ninth level of the Star Abyss. It's just a turtle shell. What's the use of a seventh-order fortress?"

"Of course I am very useful." Chu Hongjun said: "The seventh-level space fortress can only be built by a 1.9-level civilization, and a 1.9-level civilization also needs to consume a lot of resources."

Lin Qing obtained Kadoan's memory and naturally understood the specialness of the seventh-level fortress.

The seventh-order fortress already uses materials with space properties. The technological limit of a normal first-order civilization is only the sixth-order space fortress.

The Yuanchen civilization also spent a huge price to acquire two seventh-order space fortresses because of its connection with the powerful 1.9-level civilization "Nine Stars".

From this we can also see the importance that Yuanchen civilization attaches to the Earth, as they sent one of its seventh-level space fortresses here early on.

In order to prevent other cosmic civilizations from noticing Yuanchen Civilization's emphasis on the Earth, they even deliberately hid the Lone Star Fortress on the moon.

but……

Although the seventh-level fortress is powerful, it poses no threat to the ninth level of Xingyuan. What is the use of Chu Hongjun having a seventh-level fortress?
"Lin Qing."

Chu Hongjun suddenly sent a telepathic message to Lin Qing: "Cadoan is your clone. Since Lei Tong dared to touch you, it seems that my deterrence is useless... Yuanchen civilization should have known by now that even if the earth becomes a dead star, as long as it is revived again, it can reconnect to those ruins space, right?"

"Yes." Lin Qing transmitted his voice: "The governor of Yuanchen civilization consulted the ancestor of the 1.9-level civilization 'Nine Stars' and believed that the earth was formed from the fragments of the second-level civilization Void Secret Realm."

Chu Hongjun transmitted his voice: "Sure enough, then we must seize the seventh-level fortress of Zhixing Group, otherwise... the hope of Earth civilization will be even slimmer."

"Dean Chu, is the seventh-level fortress so useful?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask in a voice transmission.

"The seventh-level fortress itself is not very meaningful."

Chu Hongjun sent a telepathic message: "But the space materials and core device components of the seventh-level fortress are what I need."

"Materials and components?" Lin Qing was even more confused.

"Earth civilization is weak, so we can only continue with the same deterrence plan."

Chu Hongjun transmitted his voice: "But a Level 1.9 civilization doesn't care about those zero-point energy bombs, nor does it care about the Earth becoming a dead star, so we need a real threatening deterrent."

Lin Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

"I'm going to create a 'big one' that's really big enough to completely destroy the Earth."

Chu Hongjun transmitted his voice: "It's not a dead star, but it's enough to completely shatter the entire earth to the point where it can't be restored. Only in this way can it threaten a level 1.9 civilization... and that level space fortress has the materials and parts I need."

Lin Qing was stunned.

Although the threat of total destruction is a useful tactic, how about creating something so big that it can destroy and shatter the entire earth?
This plan is too crazy.

No wonder Chu Hongjun was so sure that Qi Lingxiao would not agree to this plan.
