Orderly tyrant

The night was long.

High above the Pacific Ocean, at an altitude of 30,000 meters, two streaks of light silently crossed the sky at hundreds of times the speed of sound.

"Where is Relic No. 1?"

While maintaining high-speed flight, Lin Qing used telepathy to ask Chu Hongjun.

"The entrance to Relic No. 1 is constantly changing, but it's actually not hard to find."

Chu Hongjun casually explained, "As long as you are a Star Creature, sensing the energy flow of the six major factions worldwide, it is easy to discover... Although the flow of these energies is chaotic, they will eventually pass through a point, and the coordinates of this point are the entrance to Relic No. 1."

He paused, "Of course, Primitive Creatures can also sense it, but it is more troublesome to find."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

"However, are you ready?"

Chu Hongjun glanced at him, "First-level and below, second-level, and third-level Cosmic Citizens can only enter that relic once respectively."

"I should be ready," Lin Qing nodded.

Chu Hongjun didn't say anything more, just led him to fly along the energy flow.

Before long.

"We're here, it's below."

After the two flew to a deserted sea area, Chu Hongjun led Lin Qing straight into the deep sea.

Submerging over a thousand meters, Lin Qing also sensed the location where various energies converged.

"This is it," Chu Hongjun said, "Earth natives with a century-old soul can enter the subspace connecting Earth and the Vacuum Tomb."

He glanced at Lin Qing and handed him a black watch, saying, "Take this."

"This is?"

Lin Qing took the black watch in confusion.

"A subspace storage device," Chu Hongjun said, "Didn't you want to borrow Star Origin Stones? The subspace inside this device has a space of 240 cubic meters, enough to hold them."

"So big?" Lin Qing's eyes lit up.

His original subspace storage device only had a space of twelve cubic meters, and even if the density of Star Origin Stone was fifteen times that of water, it could theoretically only hold up to one hundred and eighty tons of Star Origin Stone.

But the subspace storage device Chu Hongjun gave him was much larger.

"Then I'll go," Lin Qing said after accepting it, and without saying much, he swam through the seawater, stopping right at the energy convergence point.

Although a century-old soul was enough to enter Relic No. 1, he wasn't completely sure if he had a so-called century-old soul.

Chu Hongjun also watched quietly from the side.

A few seconds later.

"Boom!"

Lin Qing suddenly felt the surrounding energy surge a million times more violently, and the space he was in instantly collapsed, and he only felt his eyes spin.

In an instant, when he regained consciousness, he was already in a dim space.

A silvery-white mirror, about three meters high and like the surface of water, floated in front of him, surrounded by all-encompassing dark barriers, just like the inside of a subspace storage device. All around, he could only see spatial barriers, spanning about hundreds of meters.

However, the spatial barriers of subspace storage devices were generally not stable enough, and they could not allow souls to enter them.

But this place was extremely stable. It was said that even Qi Lingxiao could not shake the spatial barriers here at all.

"This is the real entrance to the Vacuum Tomb?"

Lin Qing looked at the silvery-white mirror, and without hesitation, stepped forward.

The silvery-white mirror immediately reflected his appearance.

The mirror surface began to ripple like water waves, and lines of universal cosmic text appeared at the same time.

【Authority has been awakened... Life System Tenth Level...】

【Authority Value... 864755 kilograms of Star Origin Stone...】

【Meets the requirements of a Tomb Keeper... Can enter the Vacuum Tomb...】

The lines of text disappeared.

The smooth silvery-white mirror turned into circles of vortex, revealing a trace of ancient and strange aura, and just feeling this aura made him tremble instinctively.

"Is it over like this?"

Lin Qing was immediately puzzled: "Tomb Keeper?"

According to the information given by Chu Hongjun and others, when they appeared on this mirror, the mirror would spit out a portion of the Star Origin Stone. Although they could not take it away, it would allow them to try to know the name of the authority and the amount of Star Origin Stone required.

The mirror would only display the authority of 38,000 kilograms of Star Origin Stone to be eligible to enter the Vacuum Tomb.

But it did not display anything about the Tomb Keeper.

"Vacuum Tomb... Tomb Keeper..."

Lin Qing nodded secretly, "That's right, judging from the attitude of the guardian on the Sky Island, what the former civilization needs doesn't seem to be a successor... It seems that they just want to find a Tomb Keeper?"

He didn't think much, and after confirming that the Order level had not decreased, he stepped into the vortex of the mirror.

...

With the spatial transformation and rotation, in the blink of an eye, Lin Qing had already appeared on a vast silvery-white platform.

The platform was dotted with strange-shaped buildings, and all around was an endless darkness.

In this endless darkness, one could see huge silvery-white pyramids floating, all emitting a faint light. Although each silvery-white pyramid was far apart, just one glance was enough to know that there were an alarming number of them.

"Welcome."

Suddenly, a smiling female voice rang out behind Lin Qing.

Someone?

Lin Qing was shocked and turned his head suddenly.

A black-haired woman in a golden dress was standing not far away, looking at him with a smile.

The woman looked very young, and her tall figure was no different from that of an Earthling. Although her appearance could not be considered beautiful, she had a unique noble temperament.

"You are..." Lin Qing looked at her and couldn't help asking, "There are actually living people in this relic?"

"Living people?"

The black-haired woman smiled and said, "To be precise, I am the intelligent life of the Vacuum Tomb, just able to change bodies... Little one, you can call me 'Princess Su'."

Princess Su?

Lin Qing's heart moved, Princess?

"Your name is Lin Qing?"

The black-haired woman, who called herself Princess Su, looked at Lin Qing with a smile and said, "I didn't expect that a life planet condensed from the fragments of the Beginning Realm could also give birth to a naturally awakened Tenth Level Authority? That's really lucky... I thought I would have to wait many more years."

"Fragments of the Beginning Realm?" Lin Qing couldn't help asking, "Princess Su said that Earth was formed from the fragments of the Beginning Realm?"

"Of course."

Princess Su said casually, "Even if it is just a fragment of the Beginning Realm, it can naturally evolve the easiest initial humans to cultivate, and then sublimate into a perfect planet on its own."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

So, this is the reason why Earth autonomously sublimated into a perfect planet.

"When I came in just now, I saw that I met the standards of a Tomb Keeper."

Lin Qing asked doubtfully, "What exactly is this Tomb Keeper..."

"The literal meaning," Princess Su said casually, "You have also seen that this space in absolute vacuum is called the Vacuum Tomb, and these pyramids around are tombs."

"Tombs?" Lin Qing nodded slightly.

This was not beyond his expectations, and he also guessed that these silvery-white pyramids might be tombs.

"These tombs have existed for too long."

Princess Su sighed, "Even if the quality energy in this Vacuum Tomb can form a self-circulation, it is still not perfect, and there is still an almost negligible loss, which will become more and more obvious over a long period of time."

She looked at Lin Qing, "Planning ahead, and some of the owners of the tombs also have the intention of leaving a legacy, so this place needs a Tomb Keeper."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

He couldn't help asking again, "Does it take a high-level authority just to select a Tomb Keeper?"

"Of course."

Princess Su glanced at him and said, "The geniuses born on the planet are destined to not be very strong, so the first Tomb Keeper must have the potential of a high-level authority to ensure that more geniuses will emerge in the future."

"Then why is it exactly required that the authority awakened by 38,000 kilograms of Star Origin Stone?" Lin Qing asked.

"There is a special secret technique that the Tomb Keeper must master, which is cultivated using Star Origin Stone, and 38,000 kilograms is the minimum standard."

Princess Su glanced at him and said, "Of course, your current strength is too weak. Although the conditions of the authority meet the requirements, it is not enough to be the Tomb Keeper of this Vacuum Tomb."

Lin Qing understood.

He asked curiously, "If you become a Tomb Keeper, do you have to stay here forever?"

"That's not necessary."

Princess Su said, "I am the one who is really responsible for guarding this place. You can go wherever you want, as long as you select successors for those tombs that have left a legacy."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "What are the benefits of being a Tomb Keeper?"

"Of course there are," Princess Su smiled, "And they are great benefits."

She pointed to the strange buildings behind her and said, "A lot of heritage is preserved here. When you become a Tomb Keeper, I will allow you to choose one."

"Are there any benefits now?" Lin Qing asked.

"There is one."

Princess Su handed Lin Qing a black metal plate engraved with strange patterns and said, "This is a temporary pass for the Vacuum Tomb. It can be used once. No matter where you are, you can use this pass to directly travel through space and return here."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "My authority is Avatar. As long as the Avatar does not die, I can be resurrected, so I don't need this temporary pass... Can I exchange it for something else?"

"No."

Princess Su said bluntly, "You haven't become a Tomb Keeper yet. It's good enough to have benefits. Tomb Keeper is not a job where you take benefits before doing any work."

"Okay," Lin Qing said, not caring, and put away the temporary pass.

Although he said so, he knew in his heart that this temporary pass was actually useful.

In case he encountered a situation where the enemy completely blocked the Earth and could not enter the Vacuum Tomb through the connection point, this temporary pass would come in handy.

"By the way."

Lin Qing suddenly said, "Didn't you say... as long as the potential of the authority meets the standard, you can provide enough Star Origin Stone to awaken it?"

Princess Su looked him up and down and said, "I can lend it to you, but haven't you already awakened it?"

"Can I borrow it even if I have awakened it?" Lin Qing asked.

"Yes, I can," Princess Su said, "But I can only lend you the amount of Star Origin Stone that is enough to awaken it, and you must pay it back within ten thousand years, otherwise there will be interest."

"I'll borrow it," Lin Qing nodded immediately.

With his authority, he could borrow 864,755 kilograms of Star Origin Stone, which is more than eight hundred tons!

This amount of Star Origin Stone is enough to awaken the authorities of the Earth's three strongest, Zhao Jiayi, and the Black Flame Avatar.

Of course...

He could also use it to directly pay off the debt for pre-ordering the authority.

But the difference between four and five pre-ordered slots is not that big, so it is better to use it in more useful places.

"How long do you want to store the Star Origin Stone?" Princess Su asked.

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

"How long to store it?" Lin Qing asked in confusion.

"Don't you know? Star Origin Stone can only exist for a thousand years," Princess Su glanced at him, "The longer the Star Origin Stone can be stored, the higher the interest will be after more than ten thousand years."

"I know it can only be stored for a thousand years."

Lin Qing said, "What I mean is, this Vacuum Tomb has existed for who knows how many years. Even if it has stored Star Origin Stone, it would have exceeded a thousand years long ago, right? Even if the flow of time is slowed down, it would have to be slowed down by who knows how many times to..."

"The time in the Origin Stone Treasure Vault is still, and it is specially used to preserve Star Origin Stone," Princess Su said directly.

"Still?" Lin Qing was stunned.

"Of course," Princess Su said as a matter of course, "Otherwise, what other method can be used to preserve Star Origin Stone?"

Lin Qing understood.

"In this case, as long as the Star Origin Stone is preserved under time deceleration, more Star Origin Stone can be stored for a thousand years..." Lin Qing said thoughtfully.

The Star Origin Stone used to awaken the authority must be of the same source, that is, the Star Origin Stone condensed by the same person.

For example, his authority awakening requires 864,755 kilograms of Star Origin Stone, and one thousand years is just enough to condense 864,755 kilograms of Star Origin Stone.

This also means...

He can only allow people whose authority potential does not exceed 864,755 kilograms to awaken.

In fact, it takes 21 grams of Star Origin Stone just to check a person's authority potential, and it is also difficult to find someone whose authority potential is exactly infinitely close.

This leads to the fact that authority awakeners are destined to be worse than the previous generation, and may even be completely cut off one day.

But if time can be affected, the Star Origin Stone can be stored for a longer time, and more Star Origin Stone can be accumulated, which can allow people with higher authority potential to awaken.

This also means that it will not be cut off.

"Have you thought about it?"

Princess Su said, "The longest you can store Star Origin Stone is for nearly a thousand years. This type has been placed in the time-still treasure vault from the moment it was manufactured, and the interest is also the highest. If it is not repaid after more than ten thousand years, the interest will be 10% of the principal for every thousand years."

"Then choose this one," Lin Qing said, "There is no interest if it does not exceed ten thousand years, right?"

"Yes, there isn't," Princess Su said.

"That's good," Lin Qing nodded.

In fact, even if there is interest, he will choose to borrow it.

"Here."

Princess Su waved her hand, and a huge cube of Star Origin Stone, nearly four meters long, appeared out of thin air on the ground in front of Lin Qing, as huge as a small building.

Lin Qing swept his mental force around, trying to lift it up, confirming that it was indeed 864755 kilograms of Starry Sky Source Stone.

A full eight hundred tons of Starry Sky Source Stone!

This star-studded black crystal, even just 21 grams, was extremely rare in a first-level civilization, even nonexistent.

And such a massive Starry Sky Source Stone, more than eight hundred tons of Starry Sky Source Stone, if placed in a first-level civilization, would be enough to drive any first-level civilization that knew of its existence completely insane!

"Truly terrifying..."

Lin Qing sighed and immediately waved his hand, putting away this massive Starry Sky Source Stone.

Besides the portion used for awakening, the rest could also be used to assist in cultivation. The Starry Sky Source Stone could increase energy accumulation by up to a hundred times, and it was extremely useful in life transformation and the engraving of sacred characters.

Since he first condensed the Starry Sky Source Stone in March 2122, he himself had condensed it three times, totaling more than two thousand five hundred kilograms.

But these two thousand kilograms of Starry Sky Source Stone were not enough to awaken the Black Flame clone's authority.

Moreover, as his strength increased, he would need more Starry Sky Source Stone to ensure that his energy accumulation remained at a hundredfold efficiency.

These hundreds of tons of Starry Sky Source Stone came at just the right time.

"Remember."

Lord Su looked at Lin Qing and said, "Pay it back within ten thousand years."

Lin Qing nodded.

"You can go now," Lord Su said.

"Wait, there's one more thing."

Lin Qing flipped his hand, and a silver-blue circular card appeared in his hand.

Lord Su raised her eyebrows slightly and said, "Original-level identity test for the Beginning Realm? The intelligence of the Star Cluster Secret Vault actually gave you this thing? Could it be that you have other strengths besides authority?"

"I have mastered two Divine Skills," Lin Qing said.

"Two Divine Skills?"

Lord Su sized up Lin Qing, but didn't ask any further questions. She immediately pointed to the silver-white building that resembled a silkworm cocoon not far away and said, "That is the place that was once used to test the citizens of the Beginning Realm, specially reserved for the sufficiently excellent tomb keepers. Take the test card and try it. If you can pass, you will be an official original-level citizen of the Beginning Realm from now on."

"Okay," Lin Qing nodded, not wasting any time, and walked straight over.

As he walked to the strange silkworm-like building, the building immediately emitted a wave that swept over him.

Then, the silver-white silkworm-shaped building slowly revealed a black hole-like entrance.

Lin Qing walked in.

As everything before his eyes quietly changed, Lin Qing found himself on a dark red earth. The gravity was terrifyingly high, and the temperature was even more frightening. The ground under his feet seemed to be an extremely dense substance, incomparably solid.

The environment alone was extremely terrifying. If ordinary primitive creatures came here, they would probably die on the spot.

Moreover, in the distance, he could see a dark and deep hurricane, moving rapidly towards here. Being able to form a high-speed hurricane in this environment was already beyond the scientific understanding of Earth civilization.

"Test taker, survive in the Star Shattering Wind and shatter the Vortex Stone that caused the Star Shattering Wind to pass the test."

An indifferent voice echoed in this space.

Lin Qing took a deep breath and did not hesitate—

"Star Orbit!"

At this moment, as streams of light flew around Lin Qing, colliding and intersecting with each other according to strange laws, a miniature star that rotated madly was immediately formed.

In any case, he had to protect himself first.

The next moment, the dark and deep terrifying hurricane struck, instantly engulfing him. At the same time, there were countless flying and swirling fragments within the hurricane, constantly attacking the Star Orbit Divine Skill.

However, countless fragments were deflected by the Star Orbit Divine Skill, unable to shake him in the slightest.

"Resisting head-on is very easy."

Lin Qing felt a slight relief in his heart and immediately began to reduce the range of the Star Orbit Divine Skill, gradually shrinking from a seven-meter diameter to only a five-meter diameter.

After the control range became smaller, maintaining the Divine Skill also became much easier.

"In that case, I should be able to maintain the Star Orbit Divine Skill while also using Heavenly Pillar Bone..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath and immediately sensed the terrifying hurricane that enveloped him through his domain. Or rather, this was not wind at all, but a terrifying vortex of energy flow.

"The Vortex Stone that caused the hurricane?" After careful sensing, Lin Qing quickly found the phantom of the strange stone that was spinning wildly above the center of the hurricane.

As long as he shattered it, the test would be over.

Inside the Star Orbit Divine Skill, Lin Qing slowly took a deep breath, and a huge force began to surge wildly within his body, instantly forming a pseudo-divine body that was nearly five meters tall.

The faceless pseudo-divine body had no joy or sorrow, like a god.

"Then..."

The next moment, an incomparably dazzling dark golden light suddenly erupted from within this vast and dark hurricane vortex. The huge light soared into the sky, directly tearing apart the dim hurricane and piercing straight into the sky, like a dark golden Heavenly Pillar supporting the heavens and the earth!

The strange stone that was originally constantly rotating in the center of the hurricane energy flow was now shattered into powder.

The immense hurricane slowly dissipated.

"It's done..."

Lin Qing felt the dissipating hurricane and couldn't help but sigh secretly, "In terms of attack, the Heavenly Pillar Bone is indeed much stronger than Star Orbit... It actually shattered it with one blow..."

The Heavenly Pillar Bone alone was so powerful, what if it was the complete "World God"?

...

"World God?"

After Lin Qing came out after passing the test, Lord Su sized up Lin Qing and asked.

"Yes," Lin Qing nodded, "I only mastered the Heavenly Pillar Bone."

"Not bad either."

Lord Su said softly, "The fact that you can master two powerful Divine Skills at such a young age shows that your comprehension is extremely high. No wonder the Star Cluster Secret Vault is willing to give you the opportunity to test for original-level identity."

Lin Qing didn't say anything, but asked, "I heard that the Vacuum Great Tomb has cultivation rooms that can accelerate time?"

"There is," Lord Su sized him up. "Are you short on time?"

"Very short," Lin Qing nodded and said, "I plan to try the Divine Son Trial after I go out."

"Divine Son Trial?" Lord Su smiled. "With your current strength, you will definitely fail."

"I understand."

Lin Qing said, "I plan to wait until the 'World God' is completely mastered before going. That should be okay, right?"

"That's possible, but it's hard to say," Lord Su shook her head. "The 'World God' Divine Skill is very difficult to combine the four Divine Skills into one. You don't know how long you will have to wait until you master it."

She paused for a moment, "Moreover, the power of the World God Body depends on you. This not only tests your comprehension, but also your understanding of life characteristics and structure."

Lin Qing couldn't help but become thoughtful.

He pondered for a while and then asked, "What is the approximate time flow rate of the cultivation room compared to the outside world?"
