Lawful Tyrant

Chapter 216 Looking to the future
"Everyone, from today on, the crisis on Earth has been resolved."

In the lobby of the defense base, Lin Qing looked at the powerful people in front of him and said with a smile: "No matter whether it is a level 1.9 civilization or a level 2 civilization, they will not be able to threaten the Earth from now on."

"Really?" Qi Lingxiao was pleasantly surprised.

"Is it over..." Irenato was also a little dazed, feeling it was not real.

Chu Hongjun nodded calmly and said, "The previous civilization was a third-level civilization, so it is normal for it to be able to do this. The key is... how long can it last?"

"I can't guarantee more, but at least... I don't have to worry about it for ten thousand years."

Lin Qing chuckled, then looked at Qi Lingxiao and said, "Master Qi, if you can become a grave keeper, this time can be extended to 50,000 years."

"Oh?" Qi Lingxiao's eyes lit up, and he said helplessly: "I can't even enter the vacuum tomb."

The standard for entering the Vacuum Tomb is to be a native of Earth and have a soul age of over a hundred years. The key is to have power or power potential of 38,000 kilograms of Star Source Stone.

He had improved his power with Lin Qing's help last time. Although his power had been raised to the ninth level, it had not reached the standard of 38,000 kilograms.

"fine."

Lin chuckled and said, "There are still five princes of the Nine-Star Civilization who are locked up on Mars. Maybe one of them has the power to awaken more than 1.9 kilograms. If there is really no one, I will look for one in other -level civilizations when I am strong enough."

The series of priesthoods of the Cosmic God are of great help to the top powerful people in civilization.

"What is your current strength?" Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but look at Lin Qing.

"It's not enough now, it will be enough when I become a star-level clergyman." Lin Qing said: "The same goes for Dean Chu and Ms. Irenado. As long as they meet the three standards of a gravekeeper, a star-level citizen in the beginning realm, the strength of the tenth level of the Star Abyss, and the secret technique of practicing a gravekeeper, they can become a gravekeeper."

Qi Lingxiao thought for a moment and said, "Didn't you say before that the citizens of the Beginning Realm Star Level must have transformed themselves into stars in no more than 30 years and have the strength to sweep across the eighth level of the Star Abyss?"

"fine."

Lin Qing said, "This can be circumvented. This requirement depends on the age of the physical body. It only needs to be no more than thirty years after the transformation into a star. Ms. Irenado's power soul homeland can reshape the physical body after death, but it only requires new training. After Master Qi makes some progress, he can use this method to achieve this."

The priesthood of the starry sky is integrated with the soul. Even if one is resurrected after death, the priesthood will not disappear as long as the soul has not dissipated.

Even if Qi Lingxiao was resurrected, he would still be a star priest, but his body would be restored to that of an ordinary person.

As long as you are well prepared, it will be a simple matter to recover to the ultimate level of star creatures within thirty years, and sweeping across the eighth level of the Star Abyss will naturally be a piece of cake.

"However, the tenth level of Xingyuan is a bit difficult." Qi Lingxiao frowned slightly and said, "Even if I inherit the combined magic skills and practice them successfully, I will have some chances."

His current strength is at the upper ninth level of Star Abyss. If he can master a combination of magical skills, he can barely reach the threshold of the tenth level of Star Abyss.

“This isn’t difficult to solve.”

Lin Qing said: "I am now a gravekeeper, and I have certain authority in the Sky Islands. Except for the topmost sky island, I can allow people to enter the inheritance of any other sky island, no matter what level."

He paused, "Of course, whether you can pass the inheritance test depends on you."

Qi Lingxiao breathed a sigh of relief, "That's good."

Lin Qing suggested: "In fact, Master Qi, you can first become a citizen of the Star Level in the Beginning Realm. As a citizen of the Star Level, you can get a treasure from the Beginning Realm, which is enough to increase your gene optimization index several times or even ten times. By then, you will also be able to have the strength of the tenth level of the Star Abyss."

He glanced at Chu Hongjun and Irenado again and said, "Dean Chu and Ms. Irenado are not combat types. If you want to become Star-level citizens in the Beginning Realm, it will be a bit troublesome. You can wait until you become Void Creatures."

"We are not in a hurry." Chu Hongjun said calmly: "Ten thousand years is not a long time. For the civilization of the universe, a history of ten thousand years is already a very young civilization."

Lin nodded lightly.

For example, the Yuanchen civilization is only a level 1.8 civilization, but it has also gone through hundreds of thousands of years of development.

The Nine-Star Civilization, a level 1.9 civilization, has a history of nearly million years.

There is no way. The development of civilization requires time to accumulate.

"However, there are people with awakened powers on Earth, as well as many treasures. As long as we continue to select people with potential to awaken their powers, the development speed will become very fast." Chu Hongjun said.

Lin Qing could also imagine the future of Earth.

There are people with awakened powers everywhere, and many powerful inheritances have been settled. People with excellent talents and trustworthiness can even become citizens of the Beginning Realm or gravekeepers...

If void creatures are born, the earth can transform into a high-dimensional planet. Once enough star source stones are accumulated, the earth can even be transformed into a void secret realm and become a secondary civilization in the void sea.

The premise of all this is enough time.

"If the later generations become grave keepers, it will certainly demonstrate the potential of Earth's civilization, but I still hope that you three can become grave keepers."

Lin Qing looked at the three people and said, "When I pass the Star-level priesthood trial and become a Star God, there will be new changes. By then, I should also have new magical powers, which may be able to make up for the lack of combat power of non-combat priesthoods."

Chu Hongjun said calmly: "Let's first find a way to protect the earth for a longer period of time."

Lin Qing nodded and said, "Next, I will continue to retreat in the training room. Ten thousand years, ten times the speed, is one hundred thousand years. Let's first let the Earth advance to the second-level civilization."

Even though the path for void creatures is difficult and there is darkness ahead, with a full 100,000 years, he doesn't believe that it won't work.

The most important power awakener of the second-level civilization has already appeared. As long as a void creature is born, the second-level civilization is the inevitable result!

During this ten thousand years, as long as the next gravekeeper is trained, the period can be extended to fifty thousand years.

For ten grave keepers, that would be five hundred thousand years.

During such a long period of time, as long as there is a gravekeeper who becomes a void creature, he can also obtain 100,000 points and extend the time by 100,000 years.

So, at the moment, as long as you don’t slack off or waste time, there won’t be too much pressure.

"If anything happens, just notify me on the Second Cosmic Network." Lin Qing said, "You can't leave the space-time concealment area for the time being, but... a range of hundreds of light years is wide enough."

Although the range of hundreds of light years is very large, he cannot guarantee whether the second-level civilization has the ability to monitor the range of hundreds of light years.

What if we leave this area and are discovered and captured by the second-level civilization?
So, it’s better not to leave.

The vast starry sky of hundreds of light years is enough for development.

"It doesn't matter."

Chu Hongjun said: "We have the Golden Chamber of Commerce. This time we have obtained the fleet and other creations brought by the Nine Star Civilization. We can purchase them through the Golden Chamber of Commerce at any time."

Lin Qing nodded and said, "Before the Earth is promoted to a Level 2 civilization, try to stay dormant."

……

Without the huge pressure of external threats, the top leaders of the Earth also held a small-scale celebration banquet during this rare relaxing time.

In fact, most people on Earth don't know about these things yet. At most, they have discovered that the extraterrestrial civilization forces such as the former Zhixing Group have now completely disappeared from Earth. But a new era has begun.

"Chairman Yan, you don't have to be too pessimistic."

During the banquet, although Chairman Yan, one of the top leaders on Earth, was in a good mood, Lin Qing could see that Yan Que now had a sense of relief as if he had fulfilled his last wish before his death.

After all, Yan Que's soul was cursed by the star priest, and his life span was in a state of constant reduction. He would not live for many more years.

"It's nothing. Seeing the current situation, I can die without regrets." Yan Que shook his head slightly.

This curse accompanies the soul, and even Irenado's power "Soul Homeland" cannot save him, so he naturally has no hope.

"I can save you."

Lin Weiqing shook his head slightly and said, "Of course, I don't have the ability to do that now, but you wait a moment, it shouldn't be a problem, I can also extend your life now."

In the past, Chu Hongjun didn't trust Yan Que, so he kept many things secret just to be on the safe side. But things are different now.

"Extension?" Yan Que was stunned and became a little excited and nervous.

Although he was prepared to face death, who would be willing to die as long as they could live?
"Now you can."

Lin Qing smiled, and the vertical eye between his eyebrows emitting silver-white light moved, and the black flame clone immediately flew out of it.

"This is..." Yan Que was surprised: "The Black Flame Clan?"

"It's my clone."

Lin Qing said casually, and the Black Flame clone immediately walked in front of Yan Que, pointed his finger, and activated the power of "Eternal Fire".

A ball of dark fire instantly enveloped Yan Que and began to burn his body.

"Hmm..." Yan Que only felt a burst of heat that seemed to melt him, and his body seemed to be melting and collapsing.

But he knew that Lin Qing had no reason to harm him, so he did not resist and let him do what he wanted.

"It'll be fine soon."

Lin Qing held the wine glass, sat aside with a smile, and watched the scene.

Yan Que didn't dare to be reborn through the soul's homeland because he would be an ordinary person after being reborn. His vitality was too weak, and his life force was passing away thousands of times faster. After being reborn, he would not have enough time to grow up and would die because of the curse.

The power of the Black Flame Clone is not to extinguish fire, but to restore the physical body to its most perfect state and extend the lifespan by tens of thousands of years.

Although it is only the power of the eighth level, it is more useful than the Soul Homeland.

“I will then select one among those princes to raise the power of the Black Flame clone to the ninth level…” Lin Qing thought to himself.

Soon, the dim firelight dissipated, revealing Yan Que again.

At this moment, Yan Que was like being reborn from the ashes, completely reborn in nirvana, and his vitality completely recovered to its peak.

"I..." Yan Que felt his current state and was a little bit unbelievable.

He had learned the holy texts that could extend his lifespan, and his lifespan was hundreds of thousands of years. He only had 20,000 to 30,000 years left. He was afraid that in two years at most, he would be completely exhausted by the curse.

And now, the vitality he consumed due to the curse has recovered to its peak, even stronger than before!
Even if his vitality is still consumed at a rate of tens of thousands times, he can still live for a few more decades.

"Your vitality is not really gone. It's not the upper limit of your life span that is reduced. It's just that your body has been damaged by the curse."

Lin Qing said casually: "After ten or twenty years, I will restore your vitality again, and your vitality will return to its peak. Of course... I can't do anything about the natural loss of vitality. That is a reduction in the upper limit, and it is a real reduction in lifespan."

"That's enough." Speaker Yan took a deep breath and said sincerely, "Thank you, Lin Qing."

"Nothing." Lin Weiqing shook his head slightly. "As for completely removing the curse, you just have to wait. I don't have any way to do it right now."

Perhaps, after the Black Flame clone's power transforms to the ninth level, it might be able to help.

But there is no rush now.

Although he was strong enough to kill those princes, it was still difficult for him to forcibly control them and allow him to extract the source of power like he did last time against the Seventh Prince.

So, let’s wait until he becomes a Star God.

It is said that the Star God can refine the legendary faction-exclusive artifact. Although he has not yet obtained the refining method, the previous civilization must have had it.

“I still have a lot of room for improvement.”

Lin Qing was not in a hurry. "Take your time. I will participate in the Star God Trial after I have made as much progress as possible in all aspects."

……

The day after the celebration banquet, Lin Qingbian went to the Vacuum Tomb again.

Now he is the gravekeeper. As long as he does not have the means to isolate himself from time and space travel, he can directly return to the vacuum tomb no matter where he is in the universe.

But this kind of means is possible only for a level three civilization, so he is still very safe now.

"How long do you plan to stay in seclusion this time?" His Highness Su looked at Lin Qing.

"I will wait until I have no more room for improvement in all aspects." Lin Qing said, "Star God Trial also requires knowledge and cognition. I still have a lot to learn."

"Well, just keep this mentality." His Highness Su nodded with satisfaction. "It is indeed difficult to find people with higher talents than you in the universe, but there are still some in the void and sea of ​​stars. You must always be respectful and humble."

Lin Qing didn't say anything, but apologized: "After the Star God Trial is over, I will start the work of the gravekeeper, and then help find the successor. It just so happens that the Star Clergy can join the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance, which will make it easier to search everywhere."

Minimum standards for membership in the Cosmic Star Patrol Alliance:

A star priest who possesses the strength of the tenth level of Star Abyss.

He is strong enough, but he is not yet a star priest, so he can only wait.

"It's just a little time, a small matter."

His Highness Su reminded: "You are confident enough, remember to choose a mausoleum and try the inheritance test. You only have one chance, so try to choose the one that suits you best."

Lin Qing asked curiously: "Which tomb inheritances are the best?"

"The best?" His Highness Su smiled and glanced at him, saying, "Didn't you ask me about the faction-specific artifacts before? There are methods for refining truly powerful artifacts in these tombs, especially in the tombs of the Six Saints, which have the highest-grade artifact inheritance."

She paused, and said with a half-smile: "Of course, with your current level, there is no chance of getting it."
