Orderly tyrant

“In the God Selection phase, the ‘Three Trials’ out of the Three Trials and Five Tests are the simplest. You just need to meet the standards.”

“If two of these three trials are unqualified, you will be immediately eliminated.”

“If one item is unqualified, another item must reach the ‘Superior’ level.”

“If all three trials are superior, you can skip the first four tests of the Five Tests, and only proceed with the fifth test.”

One of the Star Gods stood high in the hall, his gaze sweeping over the forty-two trainees below, and said indifferently: “This second trial is to test your mental fortitude.”

With a flick of his finger, a path emitting a faint light, as beautiful as crystal and glass, condensed in this vast hall.

The path was fifteen meters wide and about two hundred meters long, exuding a strange aura overall.

After careful sensing, Lin Qing suddenly felt that the aura of this path was somewhat similar to the steps of the Bronze Demon Mountain.

The Bronze Demon Mountain also tests mental fortitude. Could it be a similar test?

“The requirements for mental fortitude in this trial are not high.”

The Star God said indifferently: “As long as you are not pampered waste, and have experienced some tempering, you can pass this trial.”

He glanced at the many trainees, “According to the order of passing the survival trial, start one by one. Walking a hundred meters on this path counts as qualified mental fortitude, and walking two hundred meters counts as a higher level.”

Among them, the two trainees whose authority was only at the seventh level also understood that they had to walk two hundred meters in this trial.

At the very least, they had to walk over a hundred meters, otherwise they would be directly eliminated.

“Begin.”

One by one, the trainees immediately began to walk on the crystal-like path in the order of the survival stage.

However, to Lin Qing's surprise, the first to appear was not the silver-browed, bald-headed man who looked quite famous, but a cold-looking blue-haired girl.

He originally thought that the strongest of this group of trainees was the silver-browed, bald-headed man, but he didn't expect there to be other experts?

The blue-haired girl walked calmly on the glass road, as if there was no reaction, and quickly walked over a hundred meters step by step.

Looking at her appearance, one would almost think that this test was not difficult at all.

However, after she walked over a hundred meters, she obviously began to feel pressure, and her speed became slower and slower.

Finally… she stopped silently at the 190-meter mark.

“Not bad.”

The Star God nodded slightly, “The will is almost ‘Superior’.”

“Next.”

The second one was the silver-browed, bald-headed man.

But his performance was obviously different. Not only was he much more difficult and slower, but his expression was also constantly changing throughout the process, sometimes gritting his teeth, sometimes frowning, sometimes trembling, as if it was difficult to resist.

He even knelt on the ground when he reached sixty meters—

“Ahhhhh—!! Yuan Emperor! I will kill you!!”

The silver-browed, bald-headed man suddenly knelt on the ground, clutching his head painfully, and roared madly.

The surrounding trainees changed their expressions when they saw this.

The test of mental fortitude was so difficult that it made him lose his composure to such an extent?

He even said something like ‘Kill the Yuan Emperor’?

They naturally knew who the Yuan Emperor was.

As a prince, he actually threatened to kill the emperor of his own civilization?

“So fragile mentally?”

The Star God glanced at the silver-browed, bald-headed man kneeling on the ground and roaring in pain, frowned, and then with a wave of his sleeve, the silver-browed, bald-headed man floated up and left the glass road.

Without the mental pressure and temptation, the silver-browed, bald-headed man immediately woke up.

He was stunned, then stared blankly at the glass road not far away, and couldn't help clenching his teeth slowly.

“You failed.”

The Star God said indifferently: “However, your authority level is tenth level, and there is still hope for saving if you only fail one item, but if your comprehension is also unqualified, then you will be eliminated, do you understand?”

The silver-browed, bald-headed man took a deep breath and silently walked aside.

The trainees nearby couldn't help but look at him with strange expressions.

As a prince, he hates his father so much?

Lin Qing also glanced at the silver-browed, bald-headed man, not knowing whether the test was too difficult or the other party's mind was too fragile?

However…

From this point of view, people from second-level civilizations are still people, and they also have various personality defects, loves, hates, and grudges.

“Next.”

Subsequently, one by one, the trainees began to walk on this glass road that tested mental fortitude.

More than half of the people passed a hundred meters, but some of those who didn't pass a hundred also possessed authority exceeding the eighth level.

However, the two trainees with seventh-level authority also only barely passed a hundred meters in will, which was not considered a ‘Superior’ standard.

After forty-one consecutive trainees tried, twenty-four people passed a hundred meters, but none passed two hundred meters.

Finally, it was Lin Qing's turn.

Lin Qing didn't hesitate and immediately stepped into the glass road.

The moment he stepped into the glass road, he was sure.

The temptation and pressure on the mind was indeed the same test as the Bronze Demon Mountain.

Moreover, the difficulty of the first step of this glass road was not as difficult as the first step of the Bronze Demon Mountain.

I just don't know what will happen next.

Lin Qing had also tried the Bronze Demon Mountain, and finally stopped at the 16,000th step. He didn't know if the mental fortitude of the 16,000th step of the Bronze Demon Mountain could pass a hundred meters on this glass road.

One meter, two meters, ten meters, twenty meters…

“It's quite simple at first…”

Lin Qing felt quite relaxed, his pace was stable, and he was moving forward quickly.

Soon—

“Passed a hundred meters?”

Lin Qing suddenly noticed that he had crossed the hundred-meter line, but this was only the difficulty of passing a thousand levels on the Bronze Demon Mountain.

He continued to walk forward, and the pressure of the glass road on the mind gradually increased, but it was still relatively easy for him, and his pace was still light and steady.

The surrounding trainees couldn't help but look at Lin Qing.

Unexpectedly… this trainee who had resisted twelve rounds in the survival stage and didn't dare to take the initiative to attack, had such a strong mental fortitude?

Anyone could see that his pace was so easy and fast, obviously he was not greatly affected and still had energy to spare.

Before long.

“Actually… passed two hundred meters!”

“Superior will?”

“Which civilization is he from? His will is so strong?”

“It seems that he has lived for a long time and has a wealth of life experience.”

One by one, the trainees silently looked at Lin Qing, and couldn't help but be a little amazed in their hearts.

They were basically geniuses from their respective civilizations, with extraordinary backgrounds. They grew up in the void secret realm and didn't have to worry too much, and rarely encountered setbacks.

For them, becoming a high-level primitive life form can only be regarded as just coming of age, without the need to experience any ups and downs in life.

Naturally, most of their mental fortitude is relatively ordinary.

“He actually passed two hundred meters?”

The silver-browed, bald-headed man looked at Lin Qing with a very complicated mood: “A trainee with such ordinary strength has a will that is so much stronger than mine?”

He believed that he had suffered a lot of torment since he was a child and had experienced a painful life.

He felt that his will was very firm, and he could at least pass a hundred meters.

But he didn't expect…

As soon as the test of the glass road touched his mental loopholes, he couldn't bear it anymore.

“Superior will, tenth-level authority, also superior.”

The Star God looked at Lin Qing and nodded with satisfaction, and said, “Very good, even if your comprehension is unqualified, you can still participate in the final Five Tests.”

As the supervisor of this trial, he naturally knew that this young man was only twenty-two years old.

At least his physical age was twenty-two years old.

It was rare to have such mental fortitude at such a young age.

“Phew…”

Lin Qing secretly breathed a sigh of relief: “I didn't expect the mental test of the Divine Child Trial to be not too difficult… At two hundred meters, it is only about the same difficulty as the 10,000th level of the Bronze Demon Mountain.”

This was his direct feeling after comparison.

To be honest, he felt that his mental fortitude should be considered good.

After all, his previous life experiences were rare.

Moreover, every time he pre-borrowed the future, he would have memories of trying again and again, some memories lasting for decades, which were boring and monotonous, and were also a disguised form of mental tempering.

However, after all, he had only climbed to the 16,000th level of the Bronze Demon Mountain, and he was still far from the 100,000th level, so he didn't dare to overestimate himself.

Originally, he thought that if his will was placed in the universe, it would probably not be anything.

But he didn't expect that in the Divine Child Trial, it would actually be considered a superior will?

“The last trial is to test comprehension.”

The Star God glanced at the trainees, “This is also the last chance for many of you.”

With a flick of his finger, a soft and vast light spread out in the hall, illuminating the four walls of the hall.

Everyone looked at the surrounding walls and found that the walls were covered with strange patterns, some of which were huge stars, some of which were star charts, and some of which were just abstract patterns, or even meaningless lines.

Lin Qing looked carefully and only felt that these patterns seemed to point to the essence of some kind of power, but he couldn't understand them at all.

“Science is the discovery and understanding of the universe, and divine skills are the same.”

The Star God said: “The reason why divine skills are so powerful and unparalleled, and the use of energy reaches the extreme, is that divine skills conform to certain operating rules that exist in the universe.”

He glanced at the patterns on the surrounding walls, “And these patterns also point to some operating rules in the universe rules.”

Lin Qing was thoughtful.

Indeed.

The charm of the divine skill Spinning Star when it is used is obviously like a star spinning.

However, the earth is not even considered a first-level civilization, and it can't even achieve interstellar navigation. He has never seen any spatial structure, essence, or various mysterious celestial bodies, so it can be said that his knowledge is very shallow.

Comprehension is closely related to personal cognition. These geniuses of second-level civilizations have much higher knowledge and cognition than him. It is normal that he can't compare.

Therefore, it is normal even if he can't pass the final comprehension trial.

After all, he mainly relies on pre-borrowing, and comprehension can only be considered good when the black flame is burning.

“Look.”

The Star God flicked his finger, and two rays of light flew out immediately.

The two rays of light flew to the void on both sides of him respectively, and began to fly in the air, outlining characters and pictures.

Before long, two unknown secret techniques appeared in the void.

“These two secret techniques are detection secret techniques newly created by the Divine Duty Forbidden Zone.”

The Star God said: “The secret techniques themselves can also be considered to have some wonderful uses. First, they can hone comprehension, and second, they can disguise one's own life aura. Of course… they are mainly used to test personal comprehension. By comparing and verifying these patterns, you have hope to master the detection secret techniques.”

He paused and said, “Two secret techniques, the one on the left is the ‘Standard Secret Technique’, and the one on the right is the ‘Superior Secret Technique’. Mastering the standard secret technique means that your comprehension is qualified, and mastering the superior secret technique means that your comprehension is superior.”

Lin Qing's eyes lit up slightly.

Actually, comprehension is judged by detection secret techniques?

Although he doesn't have a pre-borrowing slot now, he has also been paying off his debts these days, except for solidifying the World God.

In a few days, he will be able to pay off a power essence that he pre-borrowed before.

“The deadline is twenty days.”

The Star God said in a flat tone: “Within twenty days, if you fail to master the detection secret technique, it means that your comprehension is unqualified, begin.”

The trainees immediately looked at the two detection secret techniques.

“Damn, my authority is unqualified, and my will has just reached the standard, so I have to master the superior detection secret technique…”

“My authority is qualified, but my will didn't pass, so I have to choose the superior…”

“Fortunately, I have tenth-level authority, and my will is also qualified, so it doesn't matter if I can't master it.”

Each trainee had different thoughts and ideas, some were under great pressure, and some were very relaxed.

The blue-haired girl, who had been silent all along, looked directly at the superior secret technique.

The silver-browed, bald-headed youth also noticed this, took a deep breath, and also looked at the superior secret technique.

Although he only needed to master the standard secret technique to pass, his pride and fear of his father forced him to try to force himself to do better.

Lin Qing was very relaxed.

It didn't matter whether he mastered it or not, anyway, these three trials were definitely passed.

“However, if all three items are superior, can I directly skip the first four tests of the Five Tests?”

Thinking of this, Lin Qing looked at the superior secret technique.

If he could get started, he could pre-borrow it.

He didn't know what the situation of the Five Tests was, so it would be best to skip them.

Judging from the state of these trainees, some people were obviously not strong enough, but they still had hope for this Divine Child Trial.

Therefore, this also made him understand—

This Divine Child Trial, I am afraid that it is not whoever is strong can pass.

Like the silver-browed, bald-headed man, who was suspected to be a prince of a 2.8-level civilization, seemed to have good strength, but also had mental defects. If his comprehension was not enough, maybe he couldn't even pass the first three trials?

Lin Qing also understood.

Compared to these geniuses of second-level civilizations, he ultimately had some unavoidable disadvantages and suffered a loss in origin.

There was no way, he was competing with a group of geniuses from second-level civilizations here, fighting alone, with a lot of pressure.

Therefore, it was better to skip if he could.

“This detection secret technique…”

After noting down this superb detection secret technique, Lin Qing looked at each of the patterns on the surrounding walls again.

He pondered for a long time, and couldn't help but sigh inwardly: "It's not difficult to get started, but I really can't understand it..."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly, then found a remote corner in the hall, sat down casually, closed his eyes, and continued to integrate and solidify the World God.

At the same time, his black flame clone, hidden in the alien space between his eyebrows, also began to burn on its own.

And most of the other trial participants did not dare to waste time, and began to constantly observe the patterns on the walls, in order to compare and verify the detection secret technique.

...

Time passed day by day.

"Five days."

The silver-browed, bald man stood below a pattern, staring at it with red eyes, gritting his teeth tightly: "A full five days! This super secret technique is so difficult? Even if another five days pass, I'm afraid I won't have any hope of mastering it!"

He glanced at the blue-haired girl not far away, feeling even more unwilling in his heart: "Is my comprehension... not even considered super?"

After struggling for these five days, he also understood that he had to give up the super secret technique.

If he continued like this, continuing to waste time like this, he would not only fail to master the super secret technique, but he would probably not even have time to master the standard secret technique!

At that time, he would be directly eliminated from the top three tests, where would there be any subsequent opportunities?

"I must give up..."

The newest novel is first published on 6_9_shu_ba! (replace underscores with correct symbols)

The silver-browed, bald young man took a deep breath and instead began to cultivate the standard secret technique.

Above the high platform in the hall.

The six Star Gods stood quietly at a high place, supervising this group of trial participants, while privately communicating casually.

"Haha, this prince of the Starfall Clan civilization has given up the super secret technique."

"He's too arrogant, this time he's suffered a setback."

"Indeed, he hasn't even successfully cultivated the combined divine skill, so how can he be considered to have super comprehension?"

"However, he is, after all, a prince of the Starfall Clan, so he still has hope for the God Child trial."

"Although that little girl has mastered the combined divine skill, her authority is only at the eighth level. If this prince of the Starfall Clan's authority is a very clever ability, it's really hard to say who will win or lose."

"Well, we'll know in the fifth test."

As Star Gods, each of them could be called a peerless genius of various second-level civilizations, and they knew a great deal.

Perhaps in the eyes of many people, the most important thing about authority is to condense star origin stones and sense energy, but they know that the abilities of a very small number of people's authority are also very special.

Ability, in the end, is the use of energy.

But with the same flame energy, some abilities are simply condensed and compressed together, turning into a hot fireball, with extremely crude application.

But some abilities are so refined that they imitate the structure of a star with flames, with much more sophisticated application techniques.

Even with abilities of the same level, the gap can be very large.

Authority is a gift from the universe.

Therefore, occasionally some authority awakeners who are loved by the universe or for other reasons will obtain extremely clever abilities.

...

"Time is up."

A cold voice echoed in the hall, and the six Star Gods looked at the trial participants below.

The trial participants all had to pause their cultivation.

Some people looked relieved, while others sighed helplessly.

"Whether you succeeded or not, you know best."

A Star God stood on the high platform, saying with a cold expression: "Those who have failed this trial, please step aside."

Immediately, trial participants sighed and retreated from the crowd.

Before long, only sixteen people remained in the trial participant group, obviously a considerable number of people had failed to master this detection secret technique.

That Star God nodded lightly, then looked at the crowd below and said: "Those who succeeded, release the aura of the secret technique."

In the next moment, all sixteen people released the special aura after mastering the secret technique.

The silver-browed, bald man released the aura of the secret technique without expression.

For him, merely mastering the standard secret technique was already a kind of failure and compromise, and it was not worth being happy about.

The standard secret technique auras released by the surrounding trial participants were also similar to his.

But...

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

The aura released by two of the secret techniques was obviously much stronger than that of the other trial participants present!

Obviously, they were super secret techniques!

"Two of them?"

"There are actually two people who have mastered the super secret technique?"

"Besides that blue-haired girl, who else is there?"

Everyone was shocked and turned their heads to look, and were immediately stunned.

One of them was indeed the blue-haired girl. As the first to pass the survival trial, her strength was even stronger than that of the Starfall Clan prince. No one was surprised by her comprehension.

But the other one was actually the last person to pass the survival trial!

His strength was obviously very ordinary, and it was fine if his will was so strong, but his comprehension was actually so amazing?

Most importantly...

The trial participants all noticed this only trial participant with super will. They all knew very well that this person had been sitting there with his eyes closed for almost the entire ten days!

He had only looked at the patterns on the surrounding walls once at the beginning, and after learning the secret technique, he had never moved again.

All these days, they thought that this person was relying on the fact that the first two items were super, and that it didn't matter whether he passed the comprehension test, so he had already given up, so he didn't look at those patterns for comparison and verification!

But who would have thought...

That this person had actually mastered the super secret technique silently?

"Super authority, super will, and super comprehension?"

"Where did this freak come from..."

"This... this is simply the same as those peerless geniuses from the holy lands!"

"It seems that this person comes from a very poor background, otherwise, with these conditions, as long as he is properly cultivated, his strength would not be so ordinary."

The trial participants were all secretly amazed.

The blue-haired girl also took another look at Lin Qing, with some surprise in her eyes.

The silver-browed, bald man gritted his teeth, constantly questioning in his heart: "Why? Where am I lacking..."

The six Star Gods above seemed to have not expected this either. Except for the Life-type Star God, the other five were also slightly stunned.

"All three tests are super."

The Life-type Star God stared at Lin Qing. Although she couldn't see her face clearly, she could hear her voice like a clear spring: "You are very excellent. You can skip the next four tests in the five-test stage. If the first four tests eliminate all the other trial participants, then you will be the new God Child."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

This detection secret technique was not difficult to get started with, and there were also patterns to refer to, so it was easy to meet the threshold for pre-allocation.

After he had a pre-allocation slot, he pre-allocated it on the spot.

This kind of secret technique that requires comprehension, as long as the conditions are met, as long as it is possible to master it, there is no difficulty at all.

"The other trial participants prepare to begin the five tests."

The Life-type Star God glanced around, then looked at Lin Qing and said: "You can come up and chat with us, or anything else."

Lin Qing also wanted to chat.

But as a first-level civilization, he didn't dare to chat too much, to avoid exposing Earth, and immediately said: "No need, I'll just cultivate during this time."

"Alright."

That Life-type Star God nodded slightly.

Perhaps the other Star Gods didn't see it.

But she could see it—the young man in front of her was definitely a peerless genius from those powerful forces!

...

In the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.

After the four tests, the trial participants present had also been eliminated, leaving only three people.

Besides Lin Qing, the other two were not surprisingly the silver-browed, bald man and the blue-haired girl.

"It's really rare."

A Star God looked at the three people below and nodded slightly: "In the past, after the four tests, there was mostly only one person left, or the new God Child had already been selected during the four tests. I didn't expect there to be three people this time?"

He smiled and said: "Then let's start the fifth test. The rules are very simple... a three-person melee, a life-and-death struggle. You can give up and admit defeat, or you can choose to die... the last person standing will be the God Child."

Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

A life-and-death melee?

This is the fifth test?

"The venue for the fifth test is ready."

That Star God pointed his finger, and a vortex-like space gate suddenly appeared in the hall.

He glanced at Lin Qing, and said with a slightly suggestive meaning: "Before entering the venue for the fifth test, you can choose to give up, otherwise, after the fifth test starts, it may be too late to give up."

The eliminated trial participants around all looked at Lin Qing.

Everyone could hear it.

This was clearly hinting at Lin Qing, who was the most ordinary in strength among the three. Even the simplest survival stage had forced him to only be able to turtle up and defend. Wouldn't fighting with these two be courting death?

But Lin Qing's expression was calm, pretending not to hear that he was being hinted at.

At this time, the Life-type Star God on the high platform said softly: "It's still hard to say who should give up. Let's begin."

The three immediately walked towards the space gate.

...

Time and space changed.

In the blink of an eye, they had already appeared in a vast, icy world.

This place seemed to be extremely close to absolute zero, enough to instantly freeze most living things into ice blocks. All that could be seen was a vast expanse of white ice and snow, as well as towering and majestic ice peaks and snow mountains.

Such an extraordinary and unreasonable extreme cold even seemed to freeze the space, and the space pressure was extremely astonishing.

Ordinary Star Abyss second and third-level strength would probably have difficulty even moving here!

"Boom!"

The moment the three appeared in this pure ice-sealed world, a huge roar like ten thousand thunderbolts suddenly arose in the icy sky!

The distant ice peaks trembled, cracking open一道道缝隙, and seemed to be on the verge of an avalanche.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

Suddenly, streams of vast lightning bolts, like coiling dragons, wandered across the sky, wantonly stirring the dim and cold firmament, like the judgment of the end, or the divine punishment of destruction!

In the next moment, these terrifying lightning bolts fell at the same time, striking the silver-browed, bald man at the same time!

In the dazzling electric light, the powerful electric rays quickly integrated into the silver-browed, bald man's body, and his aura also surged rapidly!

In the blink of an eye, only streams of chain-like electric lights were left moving and surrounding him.

The silver-browed, bald man stood suspended in the air like a god of destruction, looking indifferently at the blue-haired girl: "A simple survival trial is not worthy of me using my authority... Come on, let me see what you're capable of?"

At this moment, only the blue-haired girl remained in his eyes, and he didn't even look at Lin Qing not far away.

In his opinion, a trial participant who had barely passed the survival trial by resisting hard was not qualified to be his opponent. So what if his comprehension and will were stronger than him?

At least he was the strongest now!

"《Divine Punishment》?"

The blue-haired girl frowned slightly as she looked at him, and then pure black scales suddenly appeared on her entire body, and her pupils instantly turned into noble pure gold.

It was actually the form of a powerful early-born demon.

At the same time, as her domain unfolded, layers of illusory and dark world phantoms suddenly appeared behind her.

It was actually the phantom of layers of Star Abyss.

At this moment, she seemed to be walking in the Star Abyss world, dominating the layers of Star Abyss world with absolute power!

"《Star Abyss Walker》?"

The silver-browed, bald man's pupils shrank slightly, and he also recognized the other party's divine skill, and his heart sank.

This was definitely a combined divine skill no less than 《Divine Punishment》. The key was that the other party had also fused several divine skills to create a true Star Abyss Walker!

And he had not fused a true Divine Punishment.

But... he had confidence in his authority, and his gene optimization index far exceeded the other party!

"Then let's see who wins and who loses..."

The silver-browed, bald man took a deep breath, then glanced at Lin Qing not far away, his eyes slightly cold.

It just so happened that he hated geniuses who exceeded his understanding.

"Courting death! Then die."

He suddenly moved, turning into a terrifying electric light and instantly rushing towards Lin Qing at high speed, leaving a fiery acute angle in the icy void, directly attacking Lin Qing!

The blue-haired girl frowned slightly.

Just then—

"Boom!"

A terrifying aura suddenly erupted, and endless dark golden energy, like a nuclear explosion, burst out from Lin Qing as the center, impacting in all directions, completely erupting in an instant!

In an instant, the lightning was engulfed by the terrifying explosion.

Distant icebergs crumbled one after another, and countless ice and snow flew up in the explosion. For a time, the sky was filled with ice shards and fragments, as if obscuring the heavens.

Then, a much dimmer streak of lightning flew backward from the fluttering ice and snow debris.

Within that lightning, the silver-browed, bald man retreated frantically, trying to escape from here, his eyes filled with unbelievable shock and horror.

Just then—

“Where do you think you’re going?”

Under the shadow that covered the sky, a hand as large as a mountain suddenly grabbed him.

As if catching an insect.

Then, it squeezed hard!
