Orderly tyrant

Yan Qingqing...

At this moment, scenes from Lin Qing's past life flashed through his mind.

In the apocalyptic era, it was normal to struggle for survival and make enemies.

Some people, even in the apocalypse, could radiate the light of humanity, as if they were born to lead humanity towards a bright future.

Others were naturally suited to this chaotic world of the survival of the fittest, wantonly dominating and harvesting the lives of others.

Most people would do anything to survive, abandoning their humanity.

Lin Qing always felt that he was lucky to have the talent of the Entropy Resistor, coupled with a strong soul, which allowed him to survive like a human being in the apocalypse.

However, the human heart is unpredictable.

Even with the reminder of changes in the order level, he failed to see through that layer of dangerous disguise back then, and failed to distinguish who was the real monster who abandoned humanity.

Lin Qing restrained his thoughts and just smiled slightly: "I just heard about it by chance. The top three families used to be members of the Illuminati, right?"

The Illuminati was established during the apocalyptic period in order to allow humans to find a bright future in the apocalypse. At that time, the human high-level officials were basically members of the Illuminati.

"Yes."

Xu Shaofeng nodded slightly and said: "Some of the twenty-four families survived from the apocalyptic period, and were also the first batch of people to come into contact with extraterrestrial civilizations in 2047, so naturally they are also members of the Illuminati."

"That's really bright enough." Lin Qing smiled. "There are all kinds of people."

"Many people in the Illuminati at that time survived from the apocalypse."

Xu Shaofeng sighed: "Many of the people who were able to survive from the apocalypse were indeed unscrupulous. People like Curator Qi, who are bright and upright, are rare. The various parties had different ideas from the beginning, so they later fell apart."

Lin Qing understood what he meant.

Many people who survived from the apocalypse had no idea how much blood was on their hands. In order to survive, how could they care whether they became vassals of aliens?

"The Yan family, the Yuan family, the Lokes family." Lin Qing asked: "Are these three families the ones staring at the Inspection Headquarters?"

Xu Shaofeng nodded slightly. "Applying for a slot for the divine trial in the First Forbidden Zone for you next will inevitably go through the Zhi Xing Group according to the procedure, and these three families will naturally be able to get the news as soon as possible."

"The strength I have shown is not even very hopeful to obtain an ordinary divine position, is it necessary?" Lin Qing frowned slightly.

Although the strength he showed was not bad among the three-star elite inspectors, the probability of obtaining an ordinary divine position was only 30 to 40 percent, and the probability of failure was relatively high.

For this reason, Xu Shaofeng and Tang Wanqiu also deliberately concealed a lot for him, and pretended to be queuing and drawing numbers within the Inspection Headquarters, just not wanting to miss the opportunity.

——This is actually the situation of normal elite inspectors.

At the level of gene recombination, if you are lucky enough to develop a fourth-level gene ability, several third-level gene abilities, and then practice a very ordinary primitive-level combat technique, you will be at the level of a leader among the three-star elite inspectors.

Under such conditions, there is a 30 to 40 percent chance of passing the ordinary divine trial.

If you are lucky enough to encounter a particularly suitable divine position, the hope will be even greater.

Lin Qing is now pretending to be an elite inspector within this normal genius category.

In the past, although the Zhi Xing Group would send out invitations, they were just symbolic invitations and didn't care much at all.

Even if they succeeded, they would only be an ordinary basic divine position holder, let alone only a 30 to 40 percent chance.

They couldn't even get into the eyes of the Zhi Xing Group.

But now the twenty-four families are still staring at elite inspectors of this level?

"The Earth Treasure of the Second Universe Network, after each opening, the knowledge, inheritance, etc. that can be accessed will increase."

Xu Shaofeng explained: "It may not be so precious to the Zhi Xing Group, but it is very precious to the twenty-four families. Some top primitive-level combat techniques and even extremely precious star-level combat techniques, some secret knowledge about divine positions, and the combination methods of holy characters, the exclusive artifacts and divine skills of divine positions, etc., are all things that the twenty-four families are eager to obtain."

"Holy characters?" Lin Qing had heard this word a long time ago, but he didn't quite understand it.

"It is a special text symbol that improves the divine position." Xu Shaofeng said: "The most precious thing is the combination of text symbols."

Lin Qing still didn't quite understand.

However, he will understand after he obtains the divine position.

"In short, be careful."

Xu Shaofeng said: "Don't reveal your core abilities."

"I understand." Lin Qing nodded.

……

……

On the afternoon of the same day that the application was sent out.

While Lin Qing was waiting for the results at the headquarters, he received three invitation letters.

The three invitation letters came from the Yan family, the Yuan family, and the Lokes family respectively. The content was similar, in short, they were all inviting him to meet and talk.

"The twenty-four families are not of one mind either." Lin Qing saw different information.

It is said that the Yan family, as one of the top three families, has many families that follow the Yan family's lead. The Yuan family is headed by the Gongsun family, and the Lokes family advocates following the Roderus family.

These three invitation letters, these three families are obviously competing and have no intention of giving way.

That night, not long after Lin Qing received the invitation letter, two inspectors personally came to his door one after another.

It can be said that they were conveying messages, or acting as lobbyists.

These two inspectors were both vassal factions, and it was normal for them to please the twenty-four families. They came to persuade him on behalf of the Yuan family and the Lokes family respectively.

These two inspectors appeared on behalf of the two major families and mentioned some benefits that Lin Qing didn't care about at all, without taking out any good things, which made people want to laugh.

However, what surprised him a little was that he thought that someone representing the Yan family to come to persuade him might be a vassal faction inspector.

But what he didn't expect was that it was actually another upper minister 'Polkote'?

"Minister Polkote?"

Lin Qing looked at the handsome middle-aged man in front of him, wearing a white suit, with a graceful demeanor, like a gentleman aristocrat, and couldn't help but be a little surprised.

As far as he knew, Polkote was clearly an upper minister of the United faction!

Last year, the three upper ministers of the Inspection Headquarters happened to be one upper minister each from the vassal faction, the United faction, and the autonomous faction, which can be said to be a three-legged stand.

When the prisoners of the Broken Tablet Prison raided the Inspection Headquarters last year, an upper minister of the vassal faction died.

Unexpectedly, Minister Polkote had unknowingly become a vassal faction?

"Lin Qing, I am very optimistic about you."

Polkote sat down on the sofa opposite Lin Qing, with a very particular posture of etiquette and temperament, looking like an ancient aristocrat.

"You will only be twenty years old at the end of this month, right?"

He smiled and said: "Don't rush to try the divine trial. Take a look at this contract first. This is a contract personally drafted for you by Yan Ruling, the head of the Yan family—my old friend."

Lin Qing glanced at the contract on the table, but did not move it. Instead, he said: "Minister Polkote, don't you know who I am following?"

Polkote smiled and said: "Tang Wanqiu? I know that you are a seedling favored by the autonomous faction, but so what? The factional divisions outside the metropolitan area are ultimately just small fights. Within the metropolitan area, the Zhi Xing Group is the largest."

He looked up at the endless night sky outside the window again, "Outside of Earth, the Yuanchen civilization is even more powerful than our Earth civilization countless times. Don't you think the so-called autonomy is naive and ridiculous?"

"It's quite naive, but not ridiculous." Lin Qing said casually.

"You don't look like such a naive person." Polkote smiled slightly: "Let's talk about the contract. It doesn't matter if you don't want to read it. I can tell you directly."

He looked at Lin Qing, "How confident are you in trying the divine trial in the First Forbidden Zone now? 20%? 30%? Or 40%?"

Lin Qing did not speak.

"As long as you sign this contract."

Polkote stared at Lin Qing, "After obtaining the Yan family's resource inclination and information, I dare to guarantee that you will have at least a 60% chance of passing the divine trial!"

He slowly said: "May 20, 2126, is the moment when Earth officially connects with the starry sky. There are only three and a half years left. If you fail this divine trial, the next trial will only be more difficult. Once you don't get the status of a cosmic citizen, do you know what will happen?"

Lin Qing looked at him.

"At that time, Earth, this special life planet, will be like an undefended vault in the eyes of various civilizations in the universe."

Polkote said in a deep voice: "At that time, Earth civilization's strength will not be able to take care of you. Ordinary people are lambs to be slaughtered, like livestock. As someone born on a high-level planet like Earth, you are not only talented, but also the most standard 'initial human'."

Speaking of this, he smiled slightly mockingly, "You probably don't even know what initial humans are, do you?"

"I really don't know." Lin Qing looked at him.

Polkote said softly: "The universe human race is a huge group, and the initial humans are the earliest human races to appear. Their emotions, souls, and genes are the most basic humans. Although they are not as powerful as those human races in the universe, they have the highest adaptability."

He sighed, "This is not a good thing. In the eyes of many cosmic civilizations, initial humans are the best experimental materials, so they can also sell for a good price at the slave traders."

Experimental materials?

Lin Qing frowned slightly.

"When I first learned how powerful those civilizations in the universe were, I was not discouraged."

Polkote said: "The second, third, fourth time... I was never discouraged, because I thought that Earth civilization might not have a chance to rise, but when I discovered that most of the weak civilizations like Earth in the universe were either destroyed or sold as commodities, I was truly shaken."

He looked at Lin Qing, "Can you imagine? Those initial humans who look exactly like us are like chives that are cut down one after another, and there is no difference from selling vegetables."

"Qi Lingxiao cannot save Earth, and Chu Hongjun cannot save Earth either. Even if they can save some people, how many can they save?"

Polkote asked: "Do you think there is any solution besides becoming a vassal of a powerful civilization?"

Lin Qing did not speak.

"I rarely say so much."

Polkote shook his head slightly, sighed, and then pushed the contract on the table over, "Take a look. With your level, you were originally not qualified to become an internal member of the Zhi Xing Group, but as long as you first rely on the Yan family, you may have a chance to enter the Zhi Xing Group in the future."

Lin Qing glanced at it and said: "The Yuan family and the Lokes family have also invited me."

"Don't worry about it."

Polkote said calmly: "Compared to the Yan family, the Yuan family and the Lokes family are nothing. Miss Yan Qingqing of the Yan family is one of the most outstanding figures in the three families."

"Oh?" Lin Qing remained calm.

"Sign the contract."

Polkote looked at Lin Qing and said, "Believe me, this is the greatest opportunity of your life."

Lin Qing knew.

Once the contract is signed and the genes and other aspects are verified, the Yan family will upload this contract to the Second Universe Network.

If he is successfully employed, the contract will take effect for cosmic citizens.

If he fails, the contract is just waste paper anyway, and the Yan family doesn't need it anyway.

"Forget about the contract. I'll consider it after I come out of the forbidden area based on the situation of the divine trial."

Lin Qing didn't want to make a big deal, and it would be fine if he went to the forbidden area one day later.

"Consider it after coming out of the forbidden area?" Polkote shook his head slowly, "It's not time for you to try the trial yet. You will fail."

He narrowed his eyes slightly, stared at Lin Qing, and said in a low voice: "Sign it, don't make me repeat it a second time."

Lin Qing was silent for a moment and asked: "Minister Polkote, are you forcing me to sign this contract? If I don't sign it, are you going to kill me?"

Polkote's eyes suddenly turned cold, and he stared at Lin Qing without saying a word.

[The current order level has dropped by 6.1 levels]

Lin Qing looked at him expressionlessly.

At this moment, the pressure and aura belonging to the original life form oppressed him wantonly, and even the surrounding free energy was faintly fluctuating, and it seemed that a domain could be formed at any time.

The atmosphere in the living room seemed to have completely fallen into an icy silence, and it was even more permeated with a chilling murderous aura!

Suddenly——

"Just kidding, don't be nervous."

Polkote suddenly smiled, and the atmosphere returned to normal as if the ice had melted and the snow had melted.

"The report said that your will is amazing, and it is indeed true."

He stood up and praised softly, "This is the Inspection Headquarters, you and I are Earth compatriots, how could I kill you?"

While speaking, a faint light suddenly bloomed in Polkote's eyes.

Before Lin Qing could speak, he felt that his body suddenly became a little heavier, and he also felt a little stiff and numb.

"Minister Polkote, what do you mean by this?" Lin Qing said coldly.

"Just a little parting gift."

Polkote smiled and said: "In the next few days, in your current state, your movement speed will be much slower than in the past. In this case, don't try the divine trial. You are destined to fail. Give up for now."

He sighed: "I'm doing this for your own good, I hope you can understand."

Lin Qing understood what the other party meant.

Polkote certainly did not dare to kill him at the Inspection Headquarters, but he still dared to deliberately disrupt his actions and delay his divine trial.

Normal divine trials must be applied for by lottery, and you have to wait a long time if you miss it.

Now, Polkote is threatening him in this way——

Without signing the contract, you can forget about succeeding in the divine trial.

"Lin Qing, you should feel honored."

Bolkot said mockingly, "It's often those true geniuses who are worthy of the Zhisheng Group forcing them to sign a contract. Now you're enjoying this treatment too, aren't you?"

Without saying more, he walked out of the living room door, leaving behind a sentence without turning his head: "Think it over slowly, and contact me when you've thought it through."

In the blink of an eye, Bolkot had already left the living room.

"Morningstar," Lin Qing telepathically said, "Did he record our conversation and transmit it to the Yan family?"

"No," Morningstar's voice sounded, "He would naturally keep such things secret, so why would he increase the risk of it being leaked?"

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "The ability he used on me, is it a divine ability?"

"Yes."

Morningstar said, "What you're suffering from, Master, should be an ability that increases negative status effects, which is why your body has become stiff and sluggish. It can be resolved by forcibly clearing it through domain expansion, or by the user's death."

"Is that so? Such a simple method?" Lin Qing's mind stirred.

His consciousness had already begun to control the Black Flame clone tens of thousands of kilometers away, starting to burn itself to commit suicide.

Subsequently, he urged the Eternal Gate in his mind—

Accompanied by the disappearance of half of his energy, a stream of light flew out from between Lin Qing's eyebrows, which was a point of light.

The point of light flew out of the window and quickly expanded in mid-air, transforming into a naked teenager in the night.

In the next moment, deep cyan scales appeared all over the teenager's body, a horn grew on his forehead, his body expanded to three or four meters in height, fleshy wings grew on his back, and black flames burned.

In just a moment, the black flames had crossed tens of thousands of kilometers and appeared before his eyes!

"Master, do you want Yan to take action?"

Morningstar had known about Yan's existence for months, but as an intelligent life, she was absolutely loyal and obviously didn't care.

"Bolkot is a primitive lifeform, and also has a soul with a divine foundation."

Lin Qing immediately whispered, "How could I easily let go of such a feast?"

Black Flame's divine occupation was a life-based Starry Sky Demon. To evolve, he had to destroy rules, commit great slaughter, or sacrifice the souls of primitive lifeforms with a divine foundation.

He pondered for a moment and said, "However, it's really not good to take action in headquarters."

…

In the sky, a black fighter jet flying into the distance was flying at high speed at nearly ten times the speed of sound.

Inside the fighter jet, Bolkot tidied up his spotless white suit and leaned comfortably on the sofa seat.

A hot female elite inspector brought a glass of red wine and asked curiously, "Minister, was the plan successful?"

"Of course."

Bolkot smiled and hugged her, asking, "Are the communication devices all turned off?"

"According to your request, they are all turned off," the female elite inspector nodded obediently.

"That's good. If headquarters can't find me, he can only miss this divine trial."

Bolkot casually said, "This small mistake only affects an elite inspector, and there won't be any punishment."

"Minister, why didn't you threaten him to sign the contract forcibly? Under the threat of death, he would definitely agree," the female elite inspector said.

"Then I wouldn't be able to stay in the inspector headquarters anymore."

Bolkot laughed and said, "A mere Lin Qing is not worth me giving up the position of a senior minister…"

Suddenly—

"Boom!!"

In the terrifying explosion, the second-order alloy-made fighter jet seemed to have hit something. Half of the fighter jet collapsed and shattered in the air!

Even more, a misty domain with terrifying power permeated out, instantly solidifying the shattering fighter jet in mid-air, without even a sound spreading out.

"Who!"

In Bolkot's shocked and angry roar, there was also an undisguised trace of panic.

This domain was too strong. As a primitive lifeform's domain, the opponent had obviously reached the limit of the fifth level, making it impossible for him to use his domain, and his speed was greatly reduced!

In the next moment, he saw a deep cyan demon burning with black flames flying at a terrifying speed within the domain.

That already huge fist was now magnified at an astonishing speed in Bolkot's eyes, instantly filling the world in front of him!

"Bang!"

Like a mountain collapsing, the heavy punch landed, and Bolkot's head instantly burst and shattered. The burst of impact alone caused the female elite inspector beside him to die on the spot.

The two people in the entire fighter jet died instantly.

Lin Qing used his domain to suspend the broken fighter jet and corpses in mid-air, and also confirmed Bolkot's death.

"Bolkot's strength is indeed average…"

Seeing this scene, Lin Qing was not surprised.

Before the transformation into a primitive lifeform, Black Flame's full burn was already stronger than the level of a senior minister.

Now that Black Flame was a primitive lifeform and a Starry Sky Demon series occupation, it was not surprising that he could kill Bolkot with one punch.

Suddenly—

Lin Qing suddenly felt a majestic and grand wave, instantly sweeping across this Black Flame body.

He immediately understood that this was the legendary Starry Abyss's Favour!

As a life-based demon, as long as he committed acts of slaughter, he would naturally receive the Starry Abyss's Favour, especially at a high level.

At this time, he killed a primitive lifeform with a divine foundation, and sacrificed his soul together. The Starry Abyss's Favour was conceivable.

However, this favour had not accumulated enough to allow him to evolve.

"I wonder how many I need to kill…"

Lin Qing didn't know how many he needed to kill to get the Starry Abyss's Favour reward, so that he could evolve again.

But as long as he fulfilled the duties of his divine occupation, he would succeed one day.

He glanced at the broken fighter jet and corpses suspended in mid-air, and immediately put away his domain, letting them fall from the sky.

"Senior Minister, farewell."

…

…

"What? Minister Bolkot is dead?"

Lin Qing looked at Xu Shaofeng in shock and asked, "How is that possible? Outside the metropolitan area, is there someone who can kill a senior minister?"

"I don't know who did it," Xu Shaofeng frowned and said, "But Minister Bolkot was killed with just one move. The enemy seems to be ridiculously strong?"

Lin Qing also didn't expect the effect to be so good.

Bolkot's body was discovered not long after, but his fighter jet and body were too far from headquarters, which just proved his innocence.

As for the murderer, no one could tell who did it.

Therefore, Lin Qing also stayed on the headquarters' island without any care, waiting for the divine occupation spot to come down, so he could go to the first restricted area to try the divine occupation trial!
