Orderly tyrant

With a single palm strike, everything was annihilated.

Regardless of high-tech facilities, instruments, or buildings… whether visible or hidden, they were instantly crushed into powder under this palm strike, and all signs of life were completely erased.

The shattered remains of the space fortress also fell into the sea, creating a tsunami-like wave.

Then, it was slowly swallowed by the ocean.

The huge palm that extended from the fortress also disappeared without a trace, as if it had never existed.

"Clean and tidy, how nice."

Lin Qing glanced at the gradually sinking remains of the fortress below, then transformed into a stream of light and flew away.

"With my current strength, breaking a Tier 5 fortress from the inside is indeed very simple."

While concealing his aura and flying, Lin Qing was also secretly recalling the process of tearing apart the space fortress just now.

With his current strength, he naturally didn't take that Caro seriously. Although the other party was known as one of the top ten on Earth, he was only at a decent level in the sixth layer of the Star Abyss, only slightly stronger than the Starfall Clan prince during the Divine Son Trial.

After his divine duty was sublimated to Divine Son, his strength soared, reaching at least the peak of the seventh layer. He still needed to test it out in the Star Abyss to be sure.

The terrifying explosion of the World God just now, at close range, would seriously injure a normal Star Abyss seventh-layer expert at the very least, let alone Caro.

Under normal circumstances, combat-type Star God duty holders have absolute certainty in defeating a Tier 5 fortress, which is about the strength of the Star Abyss eighth layer, but internal blasting would be much simpler.

"Fortunately, Chu Hongjun also knows that Cardoan is my clone."

Lin Qing was thoughtful, "The message Chu Hongjun sent to the Cardoan clone… asked me to kill Caro, then blow up the Tier 5 fortress, and escape on my own?"

Chu Hongjun's intention might have been for him to kill Caro, then use a zero-point energy bomb to blast through the Tier 5 fortress.

His direct release of the World God had the same effect.

"Lin Qing."

At this moment, a telepathic message suddenly sounded in his mind, and Irene Nador's familiar voice came: "Did you destroy that fortress just now by yourself?"

Her telepathic message revealed disbelief and uncontrollable shock.

With Irene Nador's strength, she could naturally see that Lin Qing was just a Primitive God duty holder, only a Sixth Energy Level life form, yet he had such terrifying strength?

This kind of incredible strength had almost exceeded her understanding.

"Yes."

Lin Qing didn't say much, but simply sent a telepathic message: "I'm coming to see you now, where are you?"

"I'll cover up the traces for you, come to the underground base from last time," Irene Nador sent a telepathic message, "Chu Hongjun happens to have a plan to discuss with you."

...

"Boom!"

Like a rolling giant wheel, the space fortress suddenly broke through from the outer atmosphere, descending like a meteorite above the Second Forbidden Zone, slowly rotating and hovering.

This giant wheel-shaped space fortress was the Lone Star Fortress originally hidden on the moon by the Zhisheng Group.

As a Tier 7 space fortress, under full power, it crossed a distance of more than 10,000 kilometers in less than twenty seconds, arriving here from the metropolitan area.

Beams of detection light quickly enveloped the nearby sea area.

Teams of soldiers wearing high-tech armor flew out from it and began searching the island and the surrounding sea area.

In a short while.

"What?"

Inside the conference room of the Lone Star Fortress, Lei Tong's expression became extremely ugly after listening to the intelligent system's report, "The fortress was destroyed? Caro is dead too? Everyone and all the equipment were destroyed?"

"Yes," the intelligent system replied, "Judging from the damage to the fortress, it is suspected to have been subjected to some kind of explosion with terrifying power. Although it was not a zero-point energy bomb, its power was comparable to a zero-point energy bomb. The explosion from inside the fortress directly caused Caro to die instantly, without even having time to log in to the Second Universe Network to send a message."

"Not a zero-point energy bomb?" Lei Tong gritted his teeth, "Then what was it?"

"Not clear."

The intelligent system said, "But it can be determined that it was a pure energy explosion, with no remnants, and it was also a vacuum-level bomb."

"It's normal for Chu Hongjun to create other bombs," Lei Tong said in a low voice, "What about the monitoring? The monitoring inside this fortress is all transmitted in real time, right?"

"The holographic projection monitoring inside the fortress is transmitted through optical signals within the planet."

The intelligent system said, "Although it is said to be uploaded and stored in real time, uploading all the information inside such a huge fortress together also has a delay of about 0.0076 seconds. Up to 0.0076 seconds before the monitoring was destroyed, it was not discovered how Lin Qing caused the explosion."

During the intelligent system's answer, beams of light formed holographic projections, replaying the monitoring records before the fortress was destroyed.

"You said… if a zero-point energy bomb exploded here, would you die?"

"Is that so? How sad…"

The monitoring records inside the fortress ended completely here.

"Didn't see him take out the bomb," Lei Tong frowned, "The fortress monitoring was destroyed within just 0.0076 seconds after recording to here?"

However, he understood in his heart that this was very normal.

0.0076 seconds seemed very short, but for his level, in a high-speed battle, it was enough to exchange blows thousands of times at full strength.

The upload of the monitoring records inside the fortress had a delay of 0.0017 seconds. As long as the monitoring equipment was destroyed within 0.0076 seconds, there would naturally be no time to upload the records.

"Yes."

The intelligent system replied, "At that time, the satellite monitoring of this forbidden area was also hacked and shut down. Only the traces at the scene can confirm the explosive power, comparable to a zero-point energy bomb. At least the strength of the Star Abyss seventh layer is required to survive such an explosion."

"The satellite?" Lei Tong frowned, "Does the satellite have ground monitoring records?"

"The satellites that could monitor were all forcibly shut down by hacking," the intelligent system said, "Suspected to be done by Chu Hongjun."

"Chu Hongjun…"

Lei Tong narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Tell me the conclusions of your deduction and analysis."

The intelligent system replied, "Lin Qing should have some kind of special life-saving ability that allows him to save his life under a zero-point energy level explosion. After being coerced into the fortress, he detonated the bomb in some hidden way, killing Caro in a mutually destructive manner and destroying the fortress, while he relied on some method to save his life and escape after the explosion."

"Life-saving…" Lei Tong was thoughtful.

He didn't find it strange to have this kind of life-saving ability.

The ruins of the Earth's pre-civilization must have been left by a second-level civilization. It was possible for Lin Qing to obtain some kind of life-saving item from it.

As for relying on Lin Qing himself?

He didn't consider it at all, and the intelligent system didn't calculate this condition at all either.

Because this was completely unreasonable.

A newly promoted Primitive God duty holder, even if he mastered a divine skill, would at most have just passed the strength of the Star Abyss sixth layer.

And the explosion just now was comparable to a zero-point energy bomb. Even if it was the strength of the Star Abyss seventh layer, if he was not good at defense and had poor life-saving abilities, he would probably be killed on the spot.

How could such terrifying power be related to Lin Qing himself?

"Damn…"

Lei Tong's expression was extremely gloomy, "This Lin Qing was clearly going to participate in the Divine duty Trial, yet he carried such a terrifying bomb with him…"

Most importantly, he never thought that Lin Qing would have such an incredible life-saving ability!

This level of explosive power was enough to destroy all matter and energy, forming an absolute vacuum, so many seemingly reborn and resurrected abilities were of no use at all.

For example, some very magical holy texts could even achieve 'a drop of blood rebirth', but they would also be killed in this explosion.

Including the soul, which is essentially a mixture of spirit and energy, would also be destroyed.

Therefore, it was very difficult to survive in this explosion.

Only those rare treasures involving space could possibly have this kind of life-saving ability.

"The Earth's pre-civilization is indeed powerful…"

Lei Tong took a deep breath, "How many treasures did these guys find in the pre-civilization ruins? They even used such precious treasures to save his life…"

Thinking of this, he suddenly sneered: "But in order to let Lin Qing live, they would rather use such precious treasures, and Qi Lingxiao didn't make a move, which further shows that his Divine duty Trial failed…"

In his opinion, once Qi Lingxiao succeeded, he would be completely invincible on Earth, and there was no need to hide it at all.

And this kind of life-saving item was more precious than the entire Zhisheng Group, what was the point?

"Humph…"

Lei Tong stared coldly at the remains of the fortress salvaged from the seabed below, "When the Sky Archipelago is opened this time, I'll give you a good show…"

If he wasn't worried about pushing Chu Hongjun too far, causing the Earth to turn into a dead star and even unable to open the Sky Archipelago this time, he would have gone to their door now.

"Forget it… just a Lin Qing."

Lei Tong took a deep breath, "As long as a year and a half later, the army of my Yuanchen civilization will descend on Earth. At that time, no matter how talented you are, it will be useless…"

...

...

Inside a base hidden deep underground.

"Lin Qing, you're back."

Zhao Jiayi almost flew into Lin Qing's arms, hugged his waist, raised her head, and looked at him with a pair of bright blue eyes, "Did the trial succeed?"

"Of course," Lin Qing's mouth curled into a smile, and he looked her up and down again, "How many groups of holy texts has Ms. Irene Nador given you to carve?"

Before he left, he left a large piece of Starry Sky Origin Stone, which could allow Zhao Jiayi to carve the holy texts faster, saving the time of accumulating energy.

"Four groups."

Zhao Jiayi touched her belly again and muttered, "But, I don't seem to be pregnant…"

"…You're still young, don't think about these things," Lin Qing glanced at her speechlessly.

"Don't you want it?" Zhao Jiayi asked doubtfully.

"The earth is still in crisis, my strength is not enough, wait a while," Lin Qing shook his head.

"Oh, then we'll talk about it later," Zhao Jiayi nodded obediently, and sent a telepathic message, "Mom may be peeking at us with telepathy, do you want to sleep at night?"

"…Do you want to?"

"Um…"

"Then come at night."

After the two chatted for a while with telepathy, Lin Qing went to the base's conference room to find Chu Hongjun and the others.

...

"Lin Qing, Irene Nador said that you didn't destroy that fortress with Chu Hongjun's zero-point energy bomb just now?"

Inside the conference room, Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but ask as soon as he saw Lin Qing.

Lin Qing nodded and said, "Anyway, the effect is the same, and Dean Chu didn't say that I must use a zero-point energy bomb, he just asked me to destroy that fortress, so I came by myself."

Irene Nador couldn't help but exclaim, "I can't destroy a Tier 5 space fortress."

She was a special Divine duty in the direction of civilization guidance, not a combat type, and was better at guiding and excavating talents, suitable for teaching and imparting.

The combat aspect was relatively poor.

Although she was a Star God duty holder, and a rare Divine duty, in fact, she only had the strength of the Star Abyss seventh layer.

"Higher than I calculated, another improvement?" Chu Hongjun also glanced at Lin Qing.

"How did you do it?"

Qi Lingxiao became even more surprised, "You are now a Primitive God duty holder, right? Your life level is only a high-level primitive life, a Sixth Energy Level life form."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "My divine skill is relatively strong, and the treasure I obtained in the Star Treasury made my gene optimization index relatively high, so I have this kind of strength."

"The legendary combination of divine skills?" Qi Lingxiao suddenly understood somewhat.

He sighed, "When I accepted the divine skill inheritance in the Sky Archipelago, I also heard about the combination of divine skills. Although I learned the three powerful divine skills of that set of divine skills, I must become a disciple to learn the final inheritance that integrates the three divine skills into one, and my talent and comprehension are not enough for the threshold of becoming a disciple."

"Become a disciple?" Lin Qing suddenly understood.

He suddenly remembered that when he tried the divine skill test of the Palm Soldier Envoy, as long as he met the requirements, the highest was also this choice of becoming a disciple.

But he only learned the second divine skill 'Rotating Star'.

However, this time to the Sky Archipelago, he could accept the inheritance of the first and third divine skills, and then try to see if he could become a disciple and learn more.

"Speaking of which…"

The latest novel is at 69shu ba.

Lin Qing suddenly looked at Qi Lingxiao and said, "Hall Master Qi looks to be in a good mood, and I can't see Hall Master Qi's Divine duty, it doesn't look like the Divine duty Trial failed?"

Actually…

He had already determined that Qi Lingxiao's Divine duty Trial had succeeded.

The realm of demigods could easily detect other primitive-level Divine duties, and only star-level Divine duties could make him unable to see through.

At this time, he couldn't see through Qi Lingxiao's Divine duty.

This showed that—Qi Lingxiao was already a Star God duty holder!

"Yes."

Qi Lingxiao smiled, "My character is so good, a natural child of luck, how could I fail, I really had another epiphany during the trial, after mastering the three divine skills, I swept the whole field during the trial!"

He glanced at Chu Hongjun speechlessly, "If it weren't for this guy Chu Hongjun insisting on some plan and making me pretend to have failed the trial, I would have kicked these dog bastards out of Earth long ago!"

With his strength as a Star God duty holder, and three powerful divine skills, it was definitely enough to pass the ninth layer of the Star Abyss!

Such strength could be called the top level even in most first-level civilizations.

Only 1.9-level civilizations might have more terrifying existences.

"Dean Chu's plan?"

Lin Qing suddenly understood and said, "It seems that Dean Chu not only wants to drive these extraterrestrial civilizations out of Earth?"

Hearing this, Chu Hongjun glanced at Qi Lingxiao and said, "If you could be as calm and have as much of a brain as Lin Qing, I wouldn't have to hide my plans from you every time."

Qi Lingxiao snorted and said, "I'll definitely be calm this time. Anyway, I'm invincible on Earth now, so just tell me."

"I refuse."

Chu Hongjun said flatly, "I can be sure that as long as I tell you the plan, you will definitely refuse."

"Huh? What do you mean? Are you going to hide it from me again?" Qi Lingxiao stood up abruptly, glaring fiercely at Chu Hongjun, his teeth itching with anger.

"I will use telepathy to tell Irene and Lin Qing the parts you can't accept," Chu Hongjun said calmly, "Just cooperate with the part of the plan I tell you."

"So you're using me as a tool again?" Qi Lingxiao said with a dark face.

Chu Hongjun pretended not to hear and turned to look at Lin Qing and Irene, saying, "Then I'll explain the plan."

The corner of Qi Lingxiao's mouth twitched slightly, "You just wait, after the Earth crisis is over, I'll beat you up sooner or later!"

"Let's talk about it when you're still alive by then."

Chu Hongjun glanced at him and then said, "The purpose of this plan, as Lin Qing said, is not just to drive extraterrestrial civilizations out of Earth."

He paused and said, "Or rather, what's the point of just driving out the existing extraterrestrial civilizations on Earth? In a year and a half, Earth will be open, and that will be the real big crisis."

"Then at least we can get revenge, right?" Qi Lingxiao said.

"You call that revenge?"

Chu Hongjun glanced at him and said, "The Zhixing Group and other extraterrestrial forces are just tools for those extraterrestrial civilizations to colonize Earth. What kind of revenge is it to throw away the tools?"

Lin Qing suddenly realized that Chu Hongjun's extremely rational conclusion coincided with his own.

The Zhixing people almost caused Earth's humans to be completely isolated. It would be too cheap for the Zhixing people to just drive out the Zhixing Group.

"First of all, you must understand one thing."

Chu Hongjun said, "For Earth, the real crisis has never been the Zhixing Group, or even the Yuanchen civilization. With Qi Lingxiao's current strength, doesn't Earth civilization have the right to negotiate with the Yuanchen civilization? As long as they are willing to share the benefits, this is not a crisis at all."

"Then what is the real crisis?" Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but ask, and then said, "Let me say it first, I can't accept the result of peaceful negotiations with that group of Zhixing dogs."

"There has never been such a result from the beginning."

Chu Hongjun glanced at him and then slowly said, "Earth's real crisis... is that we are too weak."

Irene and Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but be stunned.

"Too weak..."

Lin Qing was thoughtful.

"Perhaps you don't have enough understanding and concept of Earth's treasures," Chu Hongjun said, "But after I had a certain understanding of Earth's previous civilization, the conclusion I came to immediately made me understand this principle."

He glanced at Lin Qing and said, "Lin Qing, do you think Earth's previous civilization was a level two civilization?"

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I don't know what the situation of level two civilization is, but from what I know so far... it should be more than that."

Nonsense.

The 999,999 steps of the Bronze Demon Mountain, the rewards from the 10,000th to the 90,000th steps, are all level two civilization's invitation marks.

And after the 100,000th step, the reward is a level three civilization's invitation mark!

Although he is not sure whether a level two civilization is qualified to enter a level three civilization, but no matter how you look at it, Earth's previous civilization does not seem like a level two civilization.

Chu Hongjun nodded slightly and said softly, "Then I can tell you with certainty that Earth's previous civilization could never be a level two civilization, it must be a level three civilization."

Lin Qing also thought so.

The highest-level civilizations are level four, and there are only two level four civilizations, the Void God Race and the Star Abyss Demon Race, so Earth's previous civilization is either level two or level three.

"How did you determine that?" Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but ask.

Chu Hongjun slowly said, "Level one civilization is the use of energy and matter, while level two civilization is the peak of space utilization. The reason why level 1.9 civilization is special is because it also begins to use space."

He paused and said, "As for level three civilization, it is said that the use of time is completely mature, and the use of time and space has exceeded the imagination of various civilizations."

Lin Qing's heart was shocked.

In the Vacuum Tomb, the method of storing the Starry Sky Source Stone is time standstill!

Even the space where the entire Vacuum Tomb is located forms its own cycle, like an independent time and space!

"This time Lin Qing went to the Vacuum Tomb, which completely confirmed this point for me. Earth's previous civilization was a level three civilization."

Chu Hongjun said in a low voice, "As a treasure of a level three civilization, even if it is only a small amount of residue, once it is known by a level two civilization, I am afraid it will cause the level two civilization to go crazy, right?"

He glanced at the three of them, "Earth is now like a child carrying a bag of gold, walking in a slum. This is the real danger!"

Qi Lingxiao was stunned for several seconds before saying somewhat lack of confidence, "Level two civilization... it seems that we can't beat them..."

"In the eyes of level two civilizations, level one civilizations are like ant nests, which can be destroyed at will."

Chu Hongjun glanced at Qi Lingxiao and said, "You have reached the end of the Godhood Road under normal circumstances, you should understand what I mean."

Qi Lingxiao nodded helplessly.

He asked again, "So what are you going to do?"

"Two key points."

Chu Hongjun said, "Confidentiality and survival."

He paused and said, "There are rumors in the Milky Way that Earth has treasures left by a level 1.9 civilization. This will only attract level one civilizations. It's best to keep it that way. Only the Zhixing people's high-level officials are sure that Earth's previous civilization is a level two civilization."

Lin Qing said thoughtfully, "Completely destroy the Yuanchen civilization?"

"If possible, this is indeed the best way to keep it secret."

Chu Hongjun said, "The Yuanchen civilization is not a big threat to us. What we are most afraid of now is that level 1.9 civilizations will also come after hearing the news. That will be very troublesome. I am afraid that Earthlings will have difficulty even saving their own lives."

"Level 1.9 civilization..." Qi Lingxiao took a deep breath and said, "I really don't have the confidence to fight against level 1.9 civilization... Can your plan protect us in front of level 1.9 civilization?"

"Yes."

Chu Hongjun nodded and said, "For this reason, the most crucial thing is... to seize the Zhixing Group's seventh-order space fortress."

"Seventh-order space fortress?" Qi Lingxiao asked in confusion, "Seventh-order fortress is quite powerful, but it's not a threat to someone like me at the ninth level of the Star Abyss. It's just a tortoise shell. What's the use of a seventh-order fortress?"

"I naturally have great use for it," Chu Hongjun said, "Seventh-order space fortresses can only be manufactured by level 1.9 civilizations, and level 1.9 civilizations also need to consume a lot of resources."

Lin Qing obtained Cardoan's memory, so he naturally understood the special nature of seventh-order fortresses.

Seventh-order fortresses already use materials containing spatial properties. The technological limit of normal level one civilizations is sixth-order space fortresses.

The Yuanchen civilization was also able to obtain two seventh-order space fortresses at a huge cost because of its connection with the powerful level 1.9 civilization 'Nine Stars'.

This also shows how much the Yuanchen civilization values Earth. It sent one of the seventh-order space fortresses over early.

In order to prevent other cosmic civilizations from noticing the Yuanchen civilization's attention to Earth, it even deliberately hid the Lonely Star Fortress inside the moon.

However...

Although the seventh-order fortress is powerful, it is not a threat to someone at the ninth level of the Star Abyss. What does Chu Hongjun want the seventh-order fortress for?

"Lin Qing."

Chu Hongjun suddenly telepathically transmitted to Lin Qing: "Cardoan is your clone. Since Lei Tong dared to touch you, it seems that my deterrence is useless... Now the Yuanchen civilization should already know that even if Earth turns into a dead star, as long as it regains its vitality again, it can reconnect to those relic spaces, right?"

"Yes," Lin Qing transmitted, "The Yuanchen civilization's governor asked the ancestor of the level 1.9 civilization 'Nine Stars' and believes that Earth is transformed from fragments of the level two civilization's Void Secret Realm."

Chu Hongjun transmitted, "Sure enough, then we must seize the Zhixing Group's seventh-order fortress, otherwise... the hope of Earth civilization will be even slimmer."

"Dean Chu, is the use of the seventh-order fortress so great?" Lin Qing couldn't help but transmit.

"The seventh-order fortress itself is not of great significance."

Chu Hongjun telepathically transmitted, "But the spatial materials and core device components of the seventh-order fortress are what I need."

"Materials and components?" Lin Qing was even more puzzled.

"Earth civilization is weak, so we can only continue the same deterrence plan."

Chu Hongjun transmitted, "But level 1.9 civilizations don't care about those zero-point energy bombs, nor do they care about Earth turning into a dead star, so we need a truly threatening deterrence."

Lin Qing couldn't help but be stunned.

"I am preparing to create a 'big guy' that is truly enough to completely destroy Earth."

Chu Hongjun transmitted, "Not turning into a dead star, but enough to completely shatter the entire Earth, to the point where it cannot be restored. Only in this way can we threaten level 1.9 civilizations... and that seventh-order space fortress has the materials and components I need."

Lin Qing was stunned.

Although the tactic of mutual destruction is a very useful policy, to create a big guy that is enough to destroy and shatter the entire Earth?

This plan is too crazy.

No wonder Chu Hongjun is so sure that Qi Lingxiao would not agree to this plan.
