Orderly tyrant

"Remember, although there's no time limit within the three worlds, the Star God Trial will end after twenty-four days, and the points will be tallied directly then."

After that final reminder, the white-haired, black-robed woman vanished from the spot.

Only the hundreds of trial participants and the three silently rotating spatial gates remained in the vast plaza.

"Lin Qing, which world's trial will you participate in first?" Tuoluosha asked via telepathy from the side.

"Isn't it the same no matter which one I choose first?" Lin Qing replied telepathically.

"It's actually not quite the same."

Tuoluosha said, "These three worlds have clearly been modified. Compared to those natural cosmic wonders, the various mysteries of the void involved in these three worlds are shallower and easier to comprehend. Especially the dark world, which shields your other senses, allowing you to rely solely on void perception, making your perception of the void purer and more direct. It's clearly an excellent environment for comprehending the void."

He sighed, "This kind of environment, which is closer to the void, can only be found in places with divine authority. That's why so many people come to participate in the Star God Trial, even knowing they have no hope of becoming a Star God."

"But the dark world is also the most dangerous one," Lin Qing said.

"Indeed." Tuoluosha nodded, sighing, "In a situation where nothing can be perceived, those monsters in the darkness, the most terrifying of which have the strength of the tenth level of the Star Abyss, can easily cause death."

He couldn't help but shake his head, "If only there were no danger. Training in the dark world first to enhance perception of the void, then going to the mirror world and river world, would definitely greatly improve one's attainments in the void."

Lin Qing was thoughtful.

"Lin Qing, with your strength, you can indeed do that."

Tuoluosha said with some envy, "Although the dark world can't replenish energy, with your strength, as long as you maintain your defense, you can last a long time before your energy is exhausted."

He said helplessly, "But those of us who aren't strong enough have no choice. We can only start with the safe Heavenly River World to improve our void attainments, then train in the mirror world, and finally go to the dark world."

Lin Qing understood what he meant.

The danger level and the benefit to the void were directly proportional in these three worlds.

The most dangerous dark world provided the greatest benefit to the void, but if one's strength was insufficient, one couldn't stay there for long.

The safest Heavenly River World provided the least benefit, and was more about training and verifying one's skills.

"Since that's the case, then I'll start with the dark world first…"

Lin Qing made his decision and immediately said, "I'll go in first."

"Go ahead, go ahead." Tuoluosha nodded slightly, helplessly.

He was considered a peerless genius in the Five Source Sea Civilization, mastering not only a combination divine skill but also an extremely powerful secret technique, making his strength at the peak of the ninth level of the Star Abyss.

If he was lucky, he might have a slight chance of becoming a Star God.

After all, most of the two thousand-plus trial participants were only at the peak of the eighth level of the Star Abyss, and the God Selection stage didn't entirely depend on strength.

But if the strength difference was too great, it would be difficult to compensate.

"Phew."

While many trial participants were still considering, Lin Qing took a step and was the first to disappear into the spatial gate in the middle.

Upon seeing this, the group of trial participants were somewhat envious.

They all came from second-level civilizations and had been taught by void beings, so they naturally understood that the dark world provided the greatest help to the void, but it was so dangerous that they dared not enter rashly.

"Forget it, since I have no hope of becoming a Star God anyway, I won't pursue points. I'll go to the Heavenly River World to train first, then the mirror world and the dark world."

"He's strong, but he comes from a planetary civilization and hasn't even had the chance to integrate into a void secret realm, nor has he sensed the void rules of the void sea. He might not be able to keep up with us in the Heavenly River World and the mirror world."

"That's right. These three worlds all test attainments in the void. What attainments in the void can someone from a planetary civilization have?"

"That's true. Strength only gets him more points in the dark world. In the mirror world, his strength is matched by the strength of his mirror image, and what's being tested is external means and void attainments. The Heavenly River World is even more so."

"Who will obtain the position of Star God in this trial is still uncertain."

Each trial participant was a proud son of their respective civilizations, especially those at Tuers' level, who were all arrogant. Naturally, they wouldn't admit defeat at this time.

And that was indeed the case.

In past Star God Trials, there had been trial participants with outstanding strength, but because the God Selection stage mainly tested attainments in the void, they ultimately failed to obtain the position of Star God.

……

……

"Trial participant, please note that in this dark world, you will receive one point for every minute you persist, with a maximum of ten thousand points."

Just as he entered the dark world, Lin Qing heard a cold voice in his mind.

"One point per minute? That means persisting for ten thousand minutes, nearly seven days, to get ten thousand points…" He realized.

Here was pure darkness.

Not only was there a lack of light signals, but the other senses of the body, and even mental perception, were blocked.

It was as if everything in the world had turned into dark nothingness.

At this time, all he could rely on was his perception of the void.

Empty and desolate, as if nothing existed, only the fluctuations of the void remained clear.

The void fluctuations within a few thousand meters were extremely clear, but the more distant space began to gradually blur.

"Fortunately, I have the Blood Cauldron King clone, who has visited many cosmic wonders in the Cosmic Wonder Museum, and his attainments in the void are already very high…"

Lin Qing secretly rejoiced.

The Blood Cauldron King had been walking on the path of void beings for millions of years, and had long used the divine authority to experience the method of transforming into void beings.

Although the transformation method wasn't suitable for Lin Qing's main body, Lin Qing still understood the void mysteries involved.

Especially the cultivation in recent centuries, which had greatly improved the Blood Cauldron King clone.

It could be said that he was only a tiny bit away from truly recognizing the kind of void essence he needed to transform into a void being.

Therefore, Lin Qing's attainments in the void were so high that if he considered himself second among this group of trial participants, probably no one would dare to consider themselves first.

If it were someone else, being able to sense the void within a few hundred meters would be good enough.

With such a small range of void perception, it would be very difficult to react once attacked.

"Sure enough… in this dark world, void perception is too clear."

Lin Qing was also extremely pleasantly surprised in his heart.

This kind of modified environment couldn't even be found in the Cosmic Wonder Museum.

The void fluctuations he sensed were equal to what the Blood Cauldron King clone sensed.

"The essence of the void… so that's how it is?"

Lin Qing carefully sensed, and at the same time, the Blood Cauldron King clone was in the cultivation room of the Vacuum Great Tomb, carefully comprehending with a ten-fold time flow.

In this Star God Trial, the time flow was one-thousandth of that of Earth, and the time experienced by the Blood Cauldron King clone was equivalent to ten thousand times that of his main body!

For every second the main body experienced, the Blood Cauldron King clone had several hours to comprehend!

The essence of the void, which was still quite vague in the past, gradually became clear.

It was said that the void had infinite forms, and everyone recognized a different one. As long as one recognized one of them, one could become a void being. The more essences one recognized, the more terrifying one's strength would be.

When a void being recognized many void essences and accumulated enough, they might be able to see the true rules of space.

"This is a good opportunity. If I can take this opportunity to allow the Blood Cauldron King clone to break through, it will be easier for me to recognize other void essences in the future!"

At this moment, Lin Qing carefully sensed the void fluctuations in the dark nothingness, carefully comprehending.

He naturally couldn't let go of this rare opportunity.

"However, there is no energy here, and even other dimensions can't be opened…"

Lin Qing pondered secretly, "I can't replenish energy here, so I can't abuse energy. If I use World God all the time, I'm afraid I won't last even a few hours, let alone seven days."

The best way is to use void perception to sense the monsters in the darkness attacking, and then explode with power.

But the strength of the dark monsters is so astonishing, and the speed of their attacks must be extremely fast. Relying solely on void perception to defend against them, unless one's attainments in the void are high enough, it's likely that one won't have enough time to react.

However, Lin Qing had a better method.

Suddenly—

[Current Order Level decreased by 15.1 levels]

Along with a line of blood-red prompts appearing before his eyes, a long sword-shaped divine weapon immediately appeared in Lin Qing's hand, and at the same time, he began to condense energy, and the newly learned Primordial Destruction was in a state of being released but not yet released.

Immediately, he sensed through the void that a rapidly approaching existence had appeared thousands of meters away, with a speed close to the speed of light!

Normally, a distance of only a few thousand meters would be too short for something close to the speed of light. Even if one could react, there wouldn't be enough time to condense energy and use the extremely complex combination divine skill.

But it was different if he prepared in advance!

The most ⊥ new ⊥ small ⊥ said ⊥ in ⊥ six ⊥ 9 ⊥⊥ book ⊥⊥ bar ⊥⊥ first ⊥ release!

"There's plenty of time."

Lin Qing relaxed and instantly gripped the long sword divine weapon in his hand, swinging the sword to meet that direction!

Although he couldn't sense anything, nor could he sense the attack of Primordial Destruction, he immediately sensed through the void that the rapidly approaching figure had instantly disappeared.

Without the Black Flame clone combining, and without World God, relying only on himself and this perfect divine skill of Primordial Destruction, he already had the combat power of the tenth level of the Star Abyss.

"Very good."

Lin Qing revealed a hint of a smile, "In this way, I can completely minimize energy consumption!"

Normally, sensing through the void and then using divine skills wouldn't be in time.

This would only allow one to maintain a state of readiness at all times, otherwise one might be attacked and killed, but if one was constantly prepared, the consumption would be considerable and one wouldn't be able to last long.

And he, through the prompts of the Reverse Entropy user, plus a few thousand meters of void perception, could completely prepare in advance!

Moreover, the Reverse Entropy user also had a level judgment for crises, and he could use this to adjust energy consumption and ensure that the energy was at the lowest consumption!

"Persist for seven days?"

Lin Qing smiled, very confident in his heart, "Unless the attack frequency of the dark monsters is too high, I can persist even for seventy days!"

He immediately focused his attention on void perception, and the Blood Cauldron King clone also began to carefully comprehend.

Sure enough, the attack frequency of the dark monsters was not high, but it was extremely sudden and unpredictable.

Even with quite high attainments in the void, one had to condense a certain amount of energy in advance to resist the attacks of the dark monsters.

However, it only took a thought to escape this dark world, so as long as one wasn't too greedy, one wouldn't be killed by the dark monsters.

"I have nearly seven days to comprehend. During these seven days, I will focus on sensing the void."

Lin Qing relaxed and immediately began to focus on studying the essence of the void.

Although the void mysteries he studied could only recognize the essence needed for the Blood Cauldron King clone to transform into a void being, it would be of great benefit to him if the Blood Cauldron King clone transformed into a void being sooner.

Time passed day by day.

As Lin Qing sensed the void more and more deeply, especially since his main body's authority was at the tenth energy level, his perception of the void was extremely high, making it easier for the Blood Cauldron King clone to comprehend.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed.

And the Blood Cauldron King in the cultivation room of the Vacuum Great Tomb had now spent more than ten years.

On the boundless pure white earth, the Blood Cauldron King clone sat cross-legged, carefully comprehending the void fluctuations sensed by the main body, dissecting the various void mysteries from them.

Suddenly—

"So that's how it is…"

The Blood Cauldron King clone suddenly opened his eyes, a heartfelt smile appearing on the corner of his mouth, "Is this the true appearance of the void?"

At this moment, the seemingly void space in his eyes had completely changed.

It was a space composed of countless void ripples, like intertwined underwater currents, or like endless airflows merging together. Boundless energy formed this infinite space with such a structure.

"Void being…"

The structure of the void being's life form that the Blood Cauldron King had experienced when using divine authority back then appeared in Lin Qing's mind, and he naturally integrated this void essence with the life form structure.

A life form formed with this endless ripple-like void essence as its foundation, gathering infinite spatial energy, was the true void being!

"Transform."

Lin Qing's mind moved, and as if heaven and earth were colliding, the infinite spatial energy in the void surged and gathered, and his life form structure also transformed into an infinite ripple-like strange structure, beginning to transform at an alarming rate.

This transformation lasted for a full half a year before it completely ended.

"Success."

Lin Qing sensed the Blood Cauldron King clone's current life level and powerful void life form, and couldn't help but be secretly shocked.

"This is a void being? No wonder their strength is so terrifying…"

Lin Qing now finally understood why void beings were all at least at the peak of the tenth level of the Star Abyss.

The reason was simple.

Just relying on the body composed of this spatial energy, one would have at least the strength of the peak of the ninth level of the Star Abyss!

Once one engraved holy words with the terrifying energy of integrating oneself into the void, one could easily obtain the strength of the peak of the tenth level of the Star Abyss!

An ordinary Star God with a divine authority, without divine skills, would only have the strength of the eighth level of the Star Abyss.

This transformation increased one's strength by more than two levels.

"No wonder the descendants of void beings all have such high gene indices, often hundreds of times the cosmic standard…"

Lin Qing sensed the genetic index of the Blood Cauldron King's clone. Under the transformation of spatial energy, even though the Blood Cauldron King's clone already had a genetic index a thousand times the universal standard, it still increased to about two thousand times.

Judging from the strengthening effect of spatial energy on genes, the genetic index of void creatures should generally be a thousand times the universal standard.

With such powerful genes, it's no wonder that their descendants are all extraordinary.

It's also because their descendants can't withstand it. The genetic limit of descendants through normal bloodline inheritance is only a hundred times the universal standard.

"After engraving nine sets of sacred characters, the Blood Cauldron King will have strength close to the eleventh level of the Star Abyss, even stronger than a Nine-Star Emperor."

Lin Qing nodded inwardly.

The upper limit for engraving sacred characters is nine sets, but void creatures can wash away their own sacred characters at the cost of splitting their lives.

And life force is nothing to void creatures. They can completely convert all space energy into life force, and they can replenish it to its peak in just a few breaths.

Therefore, void creatures are all beings that are almost eternally immortal.

"Also, the Blood Cauldron King's clone can also enter the Void Sea..."

Lin Qing revealed a hint of a smile, "It's a pity that the Blood Cauldron King is not a creature born and raised on Earth, so it can't allow Earth to evolve into a high-dimensional planet..."

A high-dimensional planet can be said to be connected to the Void Sea of the universe's high-dimensional layer, having a connection point.

But it's just a point.

To truly open up this point and transform it into a void secret realm, a high-dimensional planet needs to absorb a massive amount of star origin stones.

"Take it slow. To open up a void secret realm, Earth needs enough Authority Awakened ones to work together," Lin Qing took a deep breath.

"Next, the Blood Cauldron King's clone needs to create its own divine skill..."

Lin Qing pondered, "Nine-Star Emperors used hundreds of thousands of years without creating their own divine skill, and Nine-Star Ancestors used nearly ten million years to succeed. I wonder how long the Blood Cauldron King's clone will need..."
