Orderly tyrant

"Huh?"

Lin Qing was a little confused. How did the conversation suddenly jump to this topic?

"Ms. Irena, what do you mean by this?" Lin Qing couldn't help but ask.

"The literal meaning," Irena said with a smile.

"I mean, how did we suddenly jump to this topic?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.

"Because the time is almost up."

Irena said softly, "In a few months, Jia Yi will be able to acquire a divine title and undergo Primal Transformation. You're about to undergo Primal Transformation too, right? When that time comes, she will have to make a choice."

"Choice?" Lin Qing looked at her.

Irena pondered for a moment and said, "I told you before that you couldn't join the Z Star Group because you took away an opportunity that the Z Star people valued most."

Lin Qing nodded. "You're referring to Jia Yi, right?"

"Yes." Irena nodded slightly and said, "You should know that she has a special ability and is not from Earth."

She didn't avoid Chu Hongjun and Qi Lingxiao at all, obviously because they both knew, but they didn't know that Zhao Jia Yi's father was a Power Awakener.

"I know Jia Yi has a special ability that can make people disappear, but I'm not sure what it is." Lin Qing asked, puzzled, "Which civilization does Jia Yi come from?"

"Yuan Chen Civilization," Irena said.

Lin Qing was slightly stunned. "Jia Yi… is a Z Star person?"

"Of course not." Irena glanced at him. "There are a large number of races in a normal civilization. In the Yuan Chen Civilization, only the Z Star people belong to the first class, while Jia Yi and her father are races raised by the Yuan Chen Civilization."

"Raised?" Lin Qing frowned. "What race?"

At this moment, he thought of the Heavenly Orbit Monarch, who was also a race being raised.

"Three-Eyed Race," Irena said slowly.

"Three-Eyed Race?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled. "Aren't some of the Z Star people three-eyed?"

Irena shook her head slightly, not saying anything, but at this moment, a crack appeared on her brow, revealing a vertical eye from within.

Lin Qing was immediately stunned and asked, "Ms. Irena, aren't you from Earth?"

"Of course I'm from Earth."

Irena sighed and said, "Like those three-eyed Z Star people, this eye of mine… also comes from the Three-Eyed Race. It was nurtured by Jia Yi's father."

Lin Qing suddenly understood what she meant.

"Ms. Irena, do you mean… the third eye of the Three-Eyed Race can be transplanted?" he asked.

"Not 'can be transplanted'."

Irena shook her head and said, "But must be transplanted."

She sighed and said, "The Three-Eyed Race is a very peculiar race. It's hard to say whether they are loved or cursed by the universe. Every Three-Eyed Race member is a natural Psychic Awakener, and they are also the darlings of the various powers of the six major factions of the universe. They are born with the ability to sense these powers, and can even use the third eye on their brow to control this power, at the minimum, Sixth Order power."

Lin Qing was secretly shocked.

Gene Awakening and Psychic Awakening are both innate, and… the third eye can control at least Sixth Order power?

The probability of such a powerful race producing strong individuals should be very high. How could they be raised?

However, the Heavenly Orbit Monarch, as a natural Star Creature, is also being raised. It's not impossible for the Three-Eyed Race to be raised as well…

"You should also know about the Black Flame Race."

Irena said, "The Black Flame Race is born with the ability to control the Black Flame, which is either Seventh Order or Eighth Order, but the balance of the universe also makes the Black Flame Race tend to self-destruction."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

He can now confirm that Black Flame is Eighth Order power.

--He had the Black Flame clone detect the Power. The Power 'Undying Flame' is Eighth Order, and Power is the development of soul talent, which means Black Flame is Eighth Order.

"The Three-Eyed Race is the same. Innate powerful talent is also accompanied by huge flaws."

Irena said, "The third eye of the Three-Eyed Race is actually more like a special life form parasitic on them, absorbing their psychic power to feed it so that it can gradually mature."

She sighed and said, "Once this eye is completely mature, the Three-Eyed Race must transplant this eye to someone else, otherwise the matured eye will begin to frantically devour the host's life."

Lin Qing took a deep breath.

There are indeed all kinds of wonders in the universe. There is actually such a race?

"The condition for transplantation is a person with a naturally strong soul and similar soul attributes?" Lin Qing asked.

He is Life-type, while Zhao Jia Yi is Order-type.

"Yes."

Irena said, "Even if the Three-Eyed Race transplants the third eye to you, this eye will need to continue to absorb psychic power and life to continue to grow. As the new host of the eye, in addition to being able to provide life and psychic power to the third eye yourself, you can also forcibly absorb life and psychic power from the original host of the Three-Eyed Race."

Lin Qing frowned slowly.

He now fully understands the conflict between the Three-Eyed Race and the Z Star people, and also understands what Irena and Jia Yi's father had said to him before.

"Can't it be given up?"

Lin Qing frowned and said, "Destroy the eye after transplantation, or stay away, and let the new host provide energy completely."

"If it were that simple, it would be impossible." Irena shook her head and said, "The meaning of this eye's existence seems to be to devour the Three-Eyed Race. It has a soul connection with the Three-Eyed Race. Once this eye is destroyed, the Three-Eyed Race as the original host will also die."

Lin Qing's frown deepened.

"However, after the original host of the Three-Eyed Race dies, this eye will also solidify and will not be able to grow in the slightest."

Irena said with a slightly mocking tone, "In order for the eyes on their brows to continue to grow, the Z Star people will also raise the Three-Eyed Race, allowing the Three-Eyed Race to live well and continue to improve their life level, but they will never teach any combat techniques or secret techniques to prevent the Three-Eyed Race from counterattacking."

Lin Qing understood what she meant.

Pure life level is just the foundation.

Even if the physical fitness of the Primal life form is thousands of times higher than that of ordinary people, that's all.

Without the combat power boost brought by combat techniques and secret techniques, even the Primal life form is no match for some elite patrols, let alone the patrol envoys.

Any basic divine title holder has a physical fitness that is far inferior to that of the Primal life form, but at least they can burst out with terrifying power of tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of tons, which is the combat power boost brought by the divine title.

However, psychic power intensity and life level have nothing to do with combat techniques or divine titles, but there is no combat power boost. Life force and psychic power are still the same, just right for the third eye to use as nourishment.

Having a powerful life level, but no combat power, cannot resist and can only be reduced to being raised as nourishment.

This reminded him of an animal on Earth.

Elephant.

Seemingly huge, but facing human hunters, as well as various hunting tools and drugs, they can still be caught, raised, and provide beautiful ivory when they grow up.

"This is too strange."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and said in a low voice, "Does the Three-Eyed Race exist for that eye?"

Irena sighed.

"From my research, that's the case."

Chu Hongjun, who was next to him, suddenly said, "The third eye of the Three-Eyed Race is not their talent, but a special parasite like a concept or a virus."

He pondered for a moment and said, "From my research on the Three-Eyed Race, combined with their history, I think the past Three-Eyed Race may not have had the so-called third eye. It's just because of their innate powerful talent that they were targeted by a powerful civilization in the universe, so they implanted this special parasitic creature like a conceptual virus."

"Conceptual virus…" Lin Qing was silent.

Chu Hongjun pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose and said, "Even… the spirit of the Three-Eyed Race is affected by this parasite, and their thinking tends to be selfless dedication. This is obviously to make them offer the third eye and willingly become nourishment."

"Moreover, the Three-Eyed Race can see each other's emotions, making it easier for them to communicate and understand internally. This is obviously to prevent the Three-Eyed Race from reducing the birth rate due to internal strife."

"In addition, the Three-Eyed Race is born with a special genetic disease that makes it impossible for them to be too close to people outside the race, unless that person meets the conditions for eye transplantation."

"Combining these characteristics, the artificial traces are too heavy."

Chu Hongjun said, "Therefore, it can be judged that… before the Three-Eyed Race was discovered and raised by the Z Star people, they were obviously a race raised by a powerful civilization."

Lin Qing nodded silently after hearing this.

Zhao Jia Yi and her father are indeed selfless and dedicated people. Zhao Jia Yi just wanted to make friends with him and was thinking about how to help him, regardless of her own consumption and overdraft, and even dared to take out the Star Source Stone.

This kind of thinking is obviously different from normal people's thinking.

"I suspect…"

Chu Hongjun said expressionlessly, "The Three-Eyed Race raised by the Z Star people may just be a branch, or the civilization that once targeted the Three-Eyed Race has been destroyed, so the remaining Three-Eyed Race was discovered by the Z Star people."

He glanced at Lin Qing, "The talent of the Z Star people is that they are born with a strong soul. Zhao Jia Yi and her father were unwilling to dedicate themselves to the Z Star people, so they chose Irena and you."

Lin Qing was silent.

After a long while, he opened his mouth and said, "How did Jia Yi and her father come out of the Z Star people's raising of the Three-Eyed Race?"

"I rescued them."

Qi Lingxiao, who was next to him, said, "I happened to go to the imperial star of the Yuan Chen Civilization once and happened to find Zhao Jia Yi's father by the roadside. At that time, he was still a teenager. I didn't know he was a Three-Eyed Race member. I didn't know how he escaped, so I brought him to Earth."

Before Lin Qing could speak, he received Irena's psychic transmission:

"Jia Yi's father escaped from the Z Star people's raising of the Three-Eyed Race because he was born with the ability to awaken the Power. Don't say it."

Lin Qing knew that Irena was guarding against Chu Hongjun and didn't want Chu Hongjun to know that Jia Yi's father was a natural Power Awakener.

His expression remained unchanged, and he just asked, "What about Jia Yi?"

"The transplantation of the eyes of the Three-Eyed Race must occur between opposite sexes in the most intimate relationship." Irena said softly, "Jia Yi is my daughter."

Lin Qing couldn't help but look at Irena, then nodded slightly and said, "That's really…"

"You guessed it a long time ago?" Irena said.

"I just had a guess."

Lin Qing said, "You are too good to her, and although you don't look that much alike, your eye colors are exactly the same, so of course I would guess that."

He asked, puzzled, "Jia Yi doesn't know you are her mother, right? Why don't you recognize her?"

Irena was silent for a while, and a slightly bitter smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, "I'm sorry to her father, and I even caused her and her father to be locked in Chu Hongjun's laboratory, living in that small cage for so many years."

She slowly closed her eyes: "I'm not worthy to be her mother at all…"

Lin Qing couldn't help but glance at Chu Hongjun.

Chu Hongjun's expression was calm and indifferent: "Irena, I have already preserved their dignity and lives for the sake of you and Qi Lingxiao."

He paused, "I still say that, if you want to take revenge on me, wait until Earth is safe. My life is still useful."

Irena was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "As a mother, I can't forgive you, but as the leader of Earth, I don't blame you… You were just trying to study the relationship between the Z Star people and the Three-Eyed Race."

Lin Qing had heard Zhao Jia Yi say it.

She used to live in a very large cage and could only see the starry sky through a one-way top window. She couldn't do anything else.

Although Zhao Jia Yi was unwilling to say more, it could be seen that she had hardly been in contact with anyone other than her father, at most with the researchers…

"However, how did the Z Star people know about Jia Yi's existence?" Lin Qing suddenly asked.

Since Zhao Jia Yi's father was rescued by Qi Lingxiao and Zhao Jia Yi was born on Earth, how would the Z Star people know?

--Irena also said that he had snatched the most precious opportunity from the Z Star people, which clearly showed that the Z Star people knew about Zhao Jia Yi's existence.

"Because…"

Irena sighed and said, "There is a Star-level Divine Title holder in the direction of Life Scholar among the Z Star people who can explore the bloodline distribution of the entire race through any member of the Three-Eyed Race. He must be able to see that… a peerless genius with Ninth Order power has been born in the Three-Eyed Race."

She looked at Lin Qing and said slowly, "That is Jia Yi."

Lin Qing was not surprised in his heart. He had already anticipated this through Zhao Jia Yi's Power.

Gate of No Boundary.

This seems to be a spatial ability.

Regardless of any faction, the first eight orders do not involve space, only the Ninth Order power that transcends the scope of Earth will involve space.

For example, his Life-type Power, Eternal Clone, also has spatial applications, which can be seen from the number of Source Stones, it should be Tenth Order.

"You are calm."

Irena was a little surprised, looked at Lin Qing, and asked softly, "You are about to get Ninth Order power, don't you feel surprised and excited?"

Lin Qing was silent for a while and said, "This is exchanged for the life of your daughter. Ms. Irena, would you be happy now because you have obtained Jia Yi's father's eyes?"

Irena was slightly stunned.

She was silent for a long time before slowly sighing: "Jia Yi really didn't misjudge you…"

Qi Lingxiao also laughed, "Good lad, I like people like you, that's what I thought."

Chu Hongjun glanced at Lin Qing, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes.

Lin Qing shook his head, saying nothing.

In fact, he already possessed a Tier 10 Authority, and didn't want Zhao Jiayi's third eye at all, let alone have her life used as nourishment for that eye.

He didn't care how many people he didn't care about died.

But he would value those he cared about very much.

"But..." Lin Qing took a deep breath and said, "Do the Zhixing people already know that there is a Tier 9 talent among the Three-Eyed Clan on Earth?"

"Yes."

Qi Lingxiao said, "That Star-level Divine Practitioner specializing in life sciences must have determined that the Tier 9 genius is on Earth through the distribution of the Three-Eyed Clan's bloodline."

He smiled, "However, before any life planet connects to the starry sky, it will be protected by the power of the cosmic laws. Before Earth connects to the starry sky, Star-level beings cannot approach Earth at all, so he has no way of determining who it is."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

No wonder...

The Yuanchen civilization of the Zhixing people was so powerful, and they knew the importance of Earth, but they didn't send top-level experts like Star-level Divine Practitioners to Earth.

So... Star-level beings couldn't even get in?

"Is the power of Tier 9 very important to the Zhixing people?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.

He didn't think it was that important, because he had experienced it himself.

Even if the Black Flame clone could control the power of Tier 8 in advance, it wouldn't be able to exert much. Only as its strength increased did the power of the Tier 8 Black Flame become stronger and stronger.

If the life level hadn't reached that point, it wouldn't be possible to truly unleash its effect.

"Of course it's important."

Qi Lingxiao said, "The Yuanchen civilization probably doesn't even have a single person who has mastered the power of Tier 9, so how could they not desire it?"

Lin Qing was thoughtful and asked, "Star-level beings can live for a long time, right? Even if they can't sense the power of Tier 9, they can still promote life evolution by fulfilling the duties of their Divine Office, right?"

Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

He shook his head and asked, "Lin Qing, it seems you haven't fulfilled the duties of your Divine Office much, have you? At least you certainly haven't promoted an evolution."

"No." Lin Qing nodded slightly.

His God of Arms Divine Office had only killed people in the Second Universe Network, and hadn't killed a single person in reality.

Although the Black Flame clone had killed people, it had only killed a group of primitive beings without Divine Offices besides that upper minister. Primitive beings without Divine Offices couldn't attract the Star Abyss' favor, and their soul sacrifices were useless.

"Then that explains it."

Qi Lingxiao said, "As long as you fulfill the duties of your Divine Office to a certain extent, like an experience bar in a game profession, after the experience bar is full, the Divine Office will provide you with an opportunity for evolution."

"This opportunity for evolution is to let you experience the evolution of a higher-level life form in advance, and it is the most suitable evolution for you."

He shook his head and said, "For example, if you are a primitive being now, if your Divine Office accumulates enough experience, it will allow you to experience the process of evolving into a high-level primitive being. If you can already sense high-level energy, you naturally have a great chance of successfully evolving."

Lin Qing understood what he meant.

If he couldn't sense high-level energy, even if he experienced it personally, he could only understand a rough idea. It would be a dream to succeed in one go.

"So, the life evolution provided by the Divine Office is only giving you an opportunity."

Qi Lingxiao said, "Being able to sense high-level energy is the truly important talent; otherwise, Authority Awakening wouldn't be so important."

He sighed, "It is said that Authority Awakeners are everywhere in Tier 2 civilizations. With a more advanced and complete cultivation system, primitive beings are just the starting point."

Lin Qing also understood what he meant.

No wonder the Inspectors all had Divine Offices, but none of them successfully evolved into primitive beings.

It seemed that even if they fulfilled the duties of their Divine Offices and filled the 'experience bar,' it would only provide an opportunity to experience evolution. Experiencing it only once or twice simply wasn't enough.

Theoretically, as long as they continued to fulfill the duties of their Divine Offices, filling the 'experience bar' time and time again, and experiencing the process of evolution time and time again, even if they couldn't sense high-level energy, they could still successfully evolve as long as they were thoroughly familiar with it.

As for how many times it would take, it was hard to say.

"It is safer and more solid to recognize the essence."

Lin Qing's mind fluctuated, "However, the path of fulfilling the duties of the Divine Office cannot be abandoned, after all, it can let me experience the most suitable evolution process for me..."

In fact...

That almost impossible stupid method—cultivating a massive amount of higher-level combat techniques and secret arts, using this needle-in-a-haystack-like stupid method, was also to gradually recognize the essence of higher-level energy, until successfully promoting one's own life evolution.

It's just that the efficiency of the Pseudo-Divinity was much higher. Directly relying on the Pseudo-Divinity to recognize the essence from the microscopic level of energy was naturally completely different.

One was panning for gold in the sand, and the other was directly digging gold from a gold mountain. The difference was like heaven and earth.

"Three and a half years later, Earth civilization will connect with the starry sky, and extraterrestrial civilizations will truly advance into Earth."

Elena looked at Lin Qing and said, "At that time, in addition to the Earth treasure, they will definitely try to capture Jiayi. You must transplant Jiayi's eyes before then and take her away from Earth."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and asked, "After the Three-Eyed Clan's eyes are transplanted, the Star-level Divine Practitioner specializing in life sciences from the Zhixing people won't be able to sense it?"

"Of course not."

Elena said, "But there is only one chance for transplantation. After the transplantation, she will have no value to the Zhixing people."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly, "Then even if we escape, it's useless, right? They will want to get rid of me, this hidden danger, even more."

"We already have a plan. At that time, we can let you get temporary protection."

Elena said, "What you have to do in these three and a half years is to try your best to make yourself more excellent."

Lin Qing nodded slowly, saying nothing.

What he hoped for more was... that he would have enough power in three and a half years.

Although the Yuanchen civilization where the Zhixing people were located was very powerful, it was ultimately only a Tier 1 civilization in the universe.

If he couldn't even pass this level, he wouldn't even need to mention competing with the geniuses of those Tier 2 civilizations in the future.

"Although I hope you can treat Jiayi well, treat my daughter well, I know that being soft-hearted all the time is not the way to go."

Elena sighed and said, "I know you must become more excellent, but I hope... you don't be too cruel to Jiayi, and try to absorb less of her life force. She is preparing to take office as a cosmic envoy of the Order system, which can also stabilize her own life. As long as you don't go too far, it shouldn't have a big impact."

Lin Qing said nothing.

Because he had no intention of absorbing Zhao Jiayi's life at all.

Authority allowed him to be resurrected time and time again, and his life was worthless.

Absorb it as you please.

"When will the transplantation take place?" Lin Qing asked.

"Later."

Elena said, "The stronger you and Jiayi are, the less damage it will cause to her when transplanting the eyes. Of course, it can't be too late either. When that eye matures, it must be transplanted."

"Then why not use life inhibitors to directly stop Jiayi's evolution? The eyes will stop growing too, right?" Lin Qing asked, puzzled.

"The eyes have nothing to do with her growth."

Elena sighed and said, "That eye grows very fast. She herself must evolve as soon as possible to ensure that her psychic power is sufficient to provide energy for the eye to grow; otherwise, even if it is not yet mature, that eye will absorb her life."

Lin Qing understood.

During the growth period, the third eye needed to absorb a sufficiently strong psychic power.

After maturity, this eye would also need to absorb life to continue to evolve, and the more it absorbed, the faster it would evolve.

"Actually..."

Chu Hongjun suddenly said, "The most perfect solution is for you to give up Zhao Jiayi, then you can avoid this trouble... I can see that you don't crave her power."

Lin Qing understood what he meant.

This was certainly an opportunity, but it was also a big trouble.

"There's no need, just transplant that troublesome eye to me." Lin Qing said calmly, "I can handle it."

Elena looked at him, remained silent for a long time, and said in a low voice, "Thank you... I really appreciate you, Lin Qing."

Judging from Lin Qing's reaction, her guess about Lin Qing seemed to be true. Perhaps Lin Qing really didn't need this eye.

Therefore, she was even more certain that Lin Qing had really taken on this trouble for Zhao Jiayi's sake.

"It's nothing." Lin Qing shook his head slightly: "I hated the Zhixing people anyway."

"Haha, Lin Qing." Qi Lingxiao smiled, "Are you confident in transforming into a primitive being? When are you planning to come to the metropolitan area? Joining the Star Patrol Council earlier will also benefit you."

"Anytime." Lin Qing said, "However, I need to prepare for a while first."

"Then it's up to you." Qi Lingxiao said, "Don't worry, as long as we three are on Earth to protect you, there won't be any problems."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I heard that the Star Transmission Tower can simulate the Star Abyss?"

"Yes."

Qi Lingxiao nodded, "As long as you let your Star Transmission Tower expand the 'Star Abyss Trial' function, there are quite a few people on Earth with Star Transmission Towers, although most of them are from extraterrestrial civilizations, they still have the necessary components."

"However, it's better if you don't expose it."

Chu Hongjun said, "I can get you a component with no traceable origin from my channel, but it will take some time, probably two or three months."

"That's for the best." Qi Lingxiao smiled and reminded, "Lin Qing, when you are in the Star Abyss Trial, it is best not to use your real name, and change your identity, otherwise, if you go too deep with your real identity, it will be quite troublesome."

Lin Qing was a little puzzled: "Troublesome?"

Qi Lingxiao explained: "This Star Abyss is connected to the Second Universe Network, and the Star Abyss ranking now only includes cosmic citizens in the Earth regional network. This Star Abyss Trial completely depends on strength. After all, it is difficult to judge strength based on Divine Office, Holy Words, Divine Skills, racial talents... The Star Abyss layer can truly determine the strength of each expert."

Lin Qing nodded thoughtfully.

"That's all that needs to be said."

Chu Hongjun stood up, glanced at Lin Qing, "Find me when you get to the metropolitan area."

...

After exiting the Second Universe Network, Lin Qing's consciousness returned to the cultivation room.

"I'll go to the metropolitan area after I'm fully prepared..."

Lin Qing thought to himself, "I'll focus on cultivation during this time, at least prepare the Holy Words first. Divine Skills require Tier 6 power, and the cultivation environment in the metropolitan area seems to be better..."

In between thoughts, the original energy in his body surged, allowing his life level to begin to rapidly transform and elevate.

By the time Lin Qing finished thinking, his life level had already transformed into a primitive being.

He was already at the level of power and consciousness of a primitive being, and only his life level was not there yet, so it was naturally easy to succeed now.

"I still have to rely on the Starry Sky Source Stone to cultivate and transform my body and psychic power..." Lin Qing nodded secretly.

...

The next day at noon, the Black Flame clone had already mastered the Holy Word 'Seclusion'.

Lin Qing's main body directly pre-borrowed Seclusion.

The Holy Word 'Seclusion', which was carved and inscribed with Tier 5 original energy, immediately completely hid his presence, aura, and so on.

Without abilities such as Holy Words that are good at detection, there would only be a sense of Star-level beings, and it would only be possible to discover his existence after careful investigation.

It was very simple to repay this kind of memory debt of experience. Accumulating energy, relying on the hundredfold acceleration of the Starry Sky Source Stone, was indeed very fast.

However, in order to avoid being discovered, Lin Qing used Pseudo-Divinity to wash away this set of Holy Words after successfully pre-borrowing.

——After all, this thing was passive and could not be turned on or off.

The Black Flame clone immediately relied on this perfect inscription experience to begin inscribing the Holy Word 'Seclusion'.

In just seven days, Lin Qing paid off the debt of the Holy Word 'Seclusion'.

Before long, the Black Flame clone also successfully inscribed this set of Holy Words, and there was no need to worry too much about being exposed when hiding underground.

After Lin Qing paid off his debts, he did not slack off. He began to let the Black Flame clone ponder the two sets of Holy Words 'Source Soul' and 'Mirror of Pain', prioritizing safety.

...

Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, it was two months after the end of the treasure exploration.

On March 11th this day.

"Finally finished engraving..."

Lin Qing slowly breathed a sigh of relief, feeling the changes in himself now.

In the past two months, he had been busy engraving the Holy Word and paying off debts, occasionally sensing the nine kinds of life-based powers required for the inheritance of the Rotating Star Divine Skill, and beginning to try to control them.

He could only roughly control these life-based powers for the time being, and did not dare to let these powers enter his mind to form a Pseudo-Divinity. He needed to wait for an opportunity to easily blend with these powers, at least not to be harmed by them.

He was able to do this so quickly because he had the Holy Word 'Life Affinity', which greatly increased his affinity for life-based powers.

Otherwise, even if normal primitive beings could sense them, it would take many years of familiarity to control them.

When the opportunity came, and he was completely familiar with these powers and could easily blend with them, he could begin to form a Pseudo-Divinity and gradually recognize their essence.

At that time, all he had to do was pre-borrow them one by one.

"Two empty slots... it's still enough for the time being."

Lin Qing glanced at the empty slot for the pre-payment; in these past two months, he had already paid off the Commander's 'Control' ability.

The pseudo-Domain of God and forging ability would still take about half a year.

"The Holy Words are almost done."

Lin Qing silently sensed the Holy Words within himself and his Black Flame clone, "However, the main body is still lacking a set of Holy Words."

The Black Flame clone had inscribed the Seclusion, Mirror of Pain, Affinity of Life, Fountain of Life, Feast of Grace, and Infinite Divine Power, a total of six sets of Holy Words.

But his main body had not inscribed Seclusion and Feast of Grace, but instead inscribed Source Soul.

There was still one empty slot for a set of Holy Words, he could just look for it in the city circle later.

"I wonder how Jia Yi is doing…"

Lin Qing pondered to himself, "It's normal for her to prepare for a longer time since she's attempting the Cosmic Envoy's divine trial…"

"Well, I'm almost ready, I'll head to the city circle at the end of the month."

...

A few more days passed.

Chu Hongjun finally had someone deliver the 'Star Abyss Trial' component needed for the Star Transmission Tower to Lin Qing.

"This is the 'Star Abyss Trial' component?"

Lin Qing looked at the dark golden cube, no bigger than his thumb, in his hand.

"Master."

Dawnlight beside him reminded, "Let the Star Transmission Tower absorb it, and it will add the Star Abyss Trial mode to the Star Transmission Tower. It is also the best way to accurately measure the strength of various divine beings in the universe."

"I'll give it a try." Lin Qing nodded slightly and immediately began to try.
