Orderly tyrant

Started preparing twenty years ago?

Lin Qing couldn't help but be slightly stunned.

Indeed, such a powerful bomb must not be easy to manufacture, and seven thousand of them must have been prepared long in advance.

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

Chu Hongjun said slowly, “When the main force of extraterrestrial civilizations arrives on Earth in two years, this threat will not be able to stop them. If there is really no chance, I will detonate the bomb.”

Qi Lingxiao suddenly looked at him.

“Really going to detonate it?” Elena 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 for Earthlings to be treated as slaves or experimental materials and sold at will by extraterrestrial civilizations?”

“After all, there are eight billion people…”

Elena sighed and said, “You are not the kind of person who would perish together with the enemy because of emotions. What about after destroying the Earth?”

Chu Hongjun said, “During this period, extraterrestrial civilizations will try to revive the Earth, re-form a planet with life, and try to reconnect the space of the pre-civilization ruins with the Earth. This period will last at least a hundred years, which is also a breathing period.”

He glanced at Elena and said, “I have made preparations. You will be responsible for the Fire Seed Project at that time.”

Elena was silent for a while, then sighed: “I am not good at fighting and can't help, but I still hope that the Earth will not usher in such an ending, or… is such an ending really worthy of us sacrificing so many compatriots?”

The atmosphere suddenly fell into silence.

“People always regard themselves as the center of the universe.”

Chu Hongjun said expressionlessly, “But the universe is so cold, and civilizations ultimately only have two endings: survival or destruction. If the death of one era can become fertilizer for the next era, it is already the best result.”

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 bear this civilization now?”

Qi Lingxiao scratched his head helplessly and sighed, “I don't want to be any leader, I just want more people to live. It's just that you told me to learn to give up first. I thought I had learned it during the doomsday, but I didn't expect that there would be a day when I would give up eight billion people…”

Chu Hongjun was silent for a moment and said, “Can you see the future?”

“The future?” Qi Lingxiao asked in confusion.

“If the future Earth civilization can survive, it may have tens of thousands of planets as its territory.”

Chu Hongjun said slowly, “The population will be counted in the trillions, the average lifespan will be over a thousand years, primitive creatures will emerge in endlessly, star creatures will continue to be born, territories will continue to expand, and even evolve towards the legendary second-level civilization…”

He looked at Qi Lingxiao, “Such a future, compared to the tragic future of Earthlings being reduced to slaves or commodities… everyone knows how 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, it has nothing to do with them. Are they willing to sacrifice themselves?”

“You are always like this.”

Chu Hongjun shook his head slightly, “Your sense of responsibility is too strong, and you are too easy to empathize with others. If you weren't so lucky, you would have died in the doomsday long ago.”

“I know I am not a suitable leader.” Qi Lingxiao spread his hands, “But the future you said may not be realized, let alone a second-level civilization or something. That is still far away from us, right?”

“I also understand that the most suitable leader for Earth civilization is not you, but…” Chu Hongjun didn't continue, 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 can be realized?”

Lin Qing thought seriously for a while before saying seriously: “I think as long as we drag it on, it will definitely be realized, and I am ready.”

He is destined to crush all the geniuses of first-level civilizations, and he also has the tenth-level authority, making it only a matter of time for Earth civilization to grow to the peak of first-level civilization.

It is only because he does not understand second-level civilizations that he is not sure.

But there should be hope.

The future Chu Hongjun said must also be based on this judgment.

“That's good.”

Chu Hongjun nodded slightly and said, “Continue to cultivate. The two years I have won for you will depend on how far you can go. At least you must become a primitive priest. It would be even better if you could transform into a star yourself.”

Lin Qing nodded and said, “I am going to the No. 1 Ruins in a few months. It is best to achieve the primitive priesthood before the Sky Islands open this year.”

He paused and asked, “What other pre-civilization ruins are there? It is best if they are helpful for the primitive-level priesthood trial.”

Qi Lingxiao asked in confusion, “Lin Qing, you have already mastered divine skills. The primitive-level Warlord priesthood trial should be easy, right?”

Normally, as long as there are multiple sets of holy characters, there is a very high chance of passing the trial of a rare primitive-level priesthood.

Those who have mastered powerful divine skills can easily sweep the entire field.

Lin Qing pondered how to say it. He couldn't say that he was mainly worried about the 'God Child' trial.

Facing the geniuses of second-level civilizations, one divine skill is far from enough.

“There are a total of six ruins.”

Chu Hongjun seemed to see through Lin Qing's thoughts and said directly, “The No. 1 Ruins, the 'Vacuum Great Tomb', should be the most important ruins of the pre-civilization. Although the entrance to the No. 2 Civilization Ruins has also been found, the requirements for entry are too high.”

“You have already been to the No. 3 Ruins, the 'Stellar Secret Vault'.”

“The No. 4 Ruins is called the 'Golden Merchant Guild'. As long as you pay enough price, you can buy or resell through the channels of the Golden Merchant Guild, but you must be a three-star cosmic citizen to be eligible. The Zhis know of the existence of the No. 4 Ruins, but they don't know how to enter.”

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

Chu Hongjun said, “As for the No. 6 Ruins, the entrance has also appeared, but it is still unclear what the activation requirements are. It seems to be related to the No. 1 Ruins.”

Lin Qing was thoughtful.

In this case, he can only try the Silver Labyrinth of the No. 5 Ruins.

“The No. 5 Ruins only depends on luck, nothing else is useful.”

Chu Hongjun said meaningfully, “Some extraterrestrial civilizations have also tried to enter the Silver Labyrinth with energy avatars, but the Silver Labyrinth changes every time. If your luck is not good enough, you will never be able to pass.”

Qi Lingxiao also nodded and said, “That's right. In fact, I don't know how I passed.”

Lin Qing was stunned.

No matter what, he has to try.

“Don't think too much, cultivate well.”

After Chu Hongjun finished speaking, this thought projection disappeared without a trace.

Qi Lingxiao also nodded to Lin Qing before disappearing without a trace.

“Lin Qing.”

Elena said, “In a few months, Jia Yi will be able to transplant the third eye to you. You can meet more often in Twilight Paradise. The child often misses you.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

……

Second Universe Network.

Twilight Paradise.

Inside the meteorite-shaped spaceship, Chu Hongjun stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking at the dim scenery outside the window, while Qi Lingxiao and Elena also appeared in the cabin.

“Old Chu.”

Qi Lingxiao said, “I am going to try the star-level priesthood trial next month.”

“Have you mastered the other divine skill?” Chu Hongjun glanced at him.

“No.”

Qi Lingxiao shook his head, “I have completely recognized the nature of those nine eighth-level powers, but I just can't figure out how they are combined into a divine skill. I really don't know what to do…”

He added, “However, I have always been lucky. Maybe I will suddenly realize and master it during the priesthood trial?”

“Your luck is very good.” Chu Hongjun glanced at him, “But as your level gets higher and higher, the influence of luck becomes smaller and smaller. You can't pin all your hopes on it.”

“I am prepared to fail.”

Qi Lingxiao said, “If I have to wait for another epiphany, I don't know how long it will take. It is better to try directly than to be forced to kill eight billion compatriots in two years. Anyway, if I don't succeed, I can't change anything. I might as well give it a try.”

“Your heart is not ruthless enough. You are really not suitable to be a leader.” Chu Hongjun shook his head slightly, “I can't persuade you, so go ahead.”

“I didn't want to be one in the first place.”

Qi Lingxiao shook his head and said, “I am only suitable for leading adventures, not for being a civilization leader. You should let Elena do it.”

Chu Hongjun glanced at him, then at Elena, and shook his head, “Neither of you is suitable.”

“However…” Elena pondered for a moment and said, “Your attitude towards Lin Qing seems to be different. Could it be that you think he is suitable?”

“He is indeed suitable to be the Earth Lord.”

Chu Hongjun nodded slightly, “I have investigated Lin Qing's past. Although this person has a bottom line, he is also cold enough. He doesn't care about the life and death of others except for those he values.”

He pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, “During these years of joining 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 killing people for the sake of stability. He is ruthless enough and good at using violence, which is just right in this period.”

“This is very much to my liking.” Qi Lingxiao nodded in agreement, “I like it too.”

“You will only fight back openly.” Chu Hongjun shook his head slightly, “If you weren't lucky enough, you would have died in the doomsday long ago.”

Qi Lingxiao laughed: “Then I didn't die, did I? I turned danger into safety time and time again.”

Chu Hongjun didn't say much, but said, “However, now we can confirm… the Zhis did indeed let Kadoan possess and come to Earth.”

“It must be Kadoan.” Elena nodded and said, “That Lei Tong directly confirmed that Jia Yi was here with me. It must be Kadoan who used the three-eyed clan's bloodline to determine Jia Yi's location.”

“Find him and kill him.”

Qi Lingxiao said, “That Kadoan is the only scholar of the Zhis in the direction of life, and has made great contributions to the Yuan Chen civilization. Take this opportunity to kill him.”

“I'm afraid it won't be that easy.” Chu Hongjun shook his head and said, “Although that Kadoan is only a scholar, his combat power must be extremely high. He has lived for too long, and his own life transformation must have reached its peak long ago. If he deliberately hides and disguises himself, we will not be able to find him at all.”

Elena said, “In any case, as long as Jia Yi is with me, and only those who I allow to plant a mental mark are allowed to approach, I don't have to worry about Kadoan approaching me.”

“But he will definitely not give up.”

Chu Hongjun said, “The Zhis must also understand that the 7,400 zero-point energy bombs are just a deterrent, so they will definitely try to secretly seize Zhao Jia Yi, this three-eyed clan genius. Once they succeed and things happen, we can't really destroy the Earth.”

“It's nothing.” Qi Lingxiao said, “That Kadoan has lowered his life level and poses no threat to us. As long as he dares to appear, I will beat him into a pulp with one stick.”

“We still have to pay attention.”

Chu Hongjun said, “After all, he is a star priest. He just doesn't have enough life level, but he still has the means.”

……

……

Zhis Group, in the highest-level conference hall.

“Lord Kadoan.”

The white-haired three-eyed man frowned and said, “Are you sure you have given up?”

“Elena is guarding that three-eyed clan genius, and it is impossible for me to have a chance.” The silver-haired old man 'Kadoan' shook his head and said, “I can only wait for her to relax her vigilance and wait for that three-eyed clan genius to transplant the eye before taking action.”

“Transplanted?”

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

“I have been studying the three-eyed clan for so many years, and I have some methods.” Kadoan shook his head slightly, “Even if the eye is transplanted, I am confident that I can perform a secondary transplant, but it consumes a lot of life force.”

Speaking of this, he pondered for a moment and said, “I estimate that the three-eyed clan genius's eye is probably prepared for that Lin Qing, so those three people value Lin Qing so much, and that Lin Qing is also a life-type, which happens to be similar to the order-type talent of that three-eyed clan genius. The conditions are met.”

“Lin Qing…”

The white-haired three-eyed man frowned slightly and said, “Do we really want to move him? That Chu Hongjun said… there are three situations that will cause the Earth to explode, and I suspect that one of them refers to the safety of that Lin Qing.”

“He is just deterring us.” Kadoan said in a low voice, “Deliberately not explaining the three situations is to prevent you from acting rashly and to make you guess which three situations they are. If he makes it clear, we can accurately avoid them.”

He sneered, “Unless we can hide it from those three, otherwise I don't plan to kill that Lin Qing. I just want to wait until he transplants that eye before I transplant it again.”

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

After a long silence, he shook his head and said, “I'm afraid this is difficult to achieve. Lin Qing himself has mastered divine skills. Passing the primitive-level priesthood trial is easy for him. In the future, after he becomes a primitive priest, he can pass through the sixth layer of the Star Abyss and become the Speaker of the Star Patrol Council.”

Kadoan smiled and said, “Do you think that after I lower my life level, I won't be able to take down that Lin Qing?”

"A divine skill is indeed a divine skill," the white-haired, three-eyed man said tactfully.

He knew that Lord Kadoan was merely a researcher of life's direction.

Although his research into life was extremely thorough, and his modifications to his own life form were astonishing, his own strength was quite strong, and he even barely passed the eighth level of the Star Abyss, his strength was only comparable to the Speaker of the Star Cluster Council after his life level had been reduced so much.

With this kind of strength, how could he possibly deal with a genius like Lin Qing, who had mastered a divine skill?

"I haven't lived these hundreds of thousands of years in vain," Kadoan shook his head slightly. "Just watch."

...

...

The damage to the Z Star Group's fortress caused a huge uproar throughout the metropolitan area.

The most powerful Z Star Group in the metropolitan area actually had this kind of thing happen?

Some people even discovered that on this day, nearly all of Z Star Group's members below the Star Creature level had died!

However, Z Star Group did not explain, but after slightly repairing the fortress, they opened it up to space and replaced it with a new fortress.

This made the various parties in the metropolitan area even more confused.

Having suffered such a big loss, why didn't Z Star Group react? What exactly happened?

Except for a very few insiders, almost no one knew the truth.

As time passed, the metropolitan area gradually calmed down again.

Lin Qing was also immersed in cultivation every day.

...

In the blink of an eye, two months passed.

On this day, July 19th.

"Finally..."

In the quiet cultivation room, Lin Qing slowly exhaled a breath: "I finally have another new overdraft slot."

A month ago, he had already recognized and mastered all nine power essences required for the 'Heavenly Pillar Bone' divine skill, and was only one step away from the final step—integrating the nine power essences into a whole, cleverly forming the divine skill.

"Order."

Lin Qing's heart moved, "Overdraft, Sixth Order Divine Skill 'Heavenly Pillar Bone'."

Accompanied by a large amount of inexplicable information emerging in his mind, he gradually understood how he should form the divine skill.

This was originally an epiphany, a sudden flash of inspiration, that would allow one to master the divine skill. Normally speaking, it was something that could only be encountered by chance and not sought. It was normal to not encounter it even in a lifetime.

But for him, as long as there was a possibility of this future, he could overdraft it!

"Heavenly Pillar Bone..."

After a moment, Lin Qing opened his eyes and murmured: "So this is the Heavenly Pillar Bone... The combination method is indeed very clever..."

Those who know it are not difficult, those who don't know it are difficult.

If he hadn't figured out the combination method, he might not have been able to figure it out for a lifetime.

Once he understood it, he would naturally be able to understand the skills and that mysterious feeling.

"You must have the strength to easily sweep through the fifth level of the Star Abyss to obtain the Origin Realm Primal Grade identity."

Lin Qing thought to himself, "With my current strength, sweeping through the fifth level of the Star Abyss should be a piece of cake."

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

After a while.

Lin Qing opened his eyes again, revealing a hint of a smile: "Attack divine skills are indeed different. Before, I couldn't even break the defenses of those six Original Blood Demons, but now I can kill them in one hit..."

Swirling Star Divine Skill.

After all, it was a defensive divine skill. Relying on the power of its own rolling, it could barely be used for offense, but even with his super high gene optimization index, its lethality was just so-so, far inferior to its defensive aspects.

And the Heavenly Pillar Bone was different, it was a pure attack divine skill!

"However, the added effects of the Holy Texts 'Blood Edge' and 'Endless Divine Power' are indeed useless..."

Lin Qing shook his head secretly, "Next time I go to the Sky Islands, I'll find a way to exchange for a few more useful sets of Holy Texts..."

He had just personally tested it.

Compared to the Heavenly Pillar Bone divine skill's use and display of energy, the added effects of the Holy Texts were almost negligible.

"However, it's okay now."

Lin Qing stood up, "I can go to the No. 1 Ruins 'Great Tomb of Vacuum' now. The Primal Grade Divine Office Trial takes up to two months, and I must participate in the trial before the end of October, otherwise I may not make it to the Sky Islands at the end of the year."

"In other words, if I want to go to the Sky Islands, I only have three months to cultivate at most."

He took a deep breath, "I hope the time acceleration in the Great Tomb of Vacuum will be enough for me to completely cultivate the entire 'World God' scripture..."
