Orderly tyrant

“Use the Star Cluster Group's seventh-order space fortress to create a bomb that will destroy Earth…”

Lin Qing couldn't help but ask through telepathy, “There's only a year and a half left before Earth is completely opened. Is there enough time to manufacture it?”

“If everything goes smoothly, it should be enough time.” Chu Hongjun said through telepathy, “Didn't you say you can still go to the Vacuum Grand Tomb? Since there's an environment with accelerated time there, I'll give you an automated production device. You can take it there with your alternate dimension, and you'll have enough time to help me complete part of the device, which can make the explosion even more powerful.”

Lin Qing transmitted his thoughts, “That's not a problem, but… can't Dean Chu enter the No. 4 relic, the 'Golden Merchant Guild'?”

The Golden Merchant Guild relic is somewhat like an intermediary platform. It cultivates different intelligent life forms and mechanical bodies. As long as accurate information and coordinates are provided, and there is sufficient authority, it can help buy or sell.

Moreover, with the strength of the mechanical bodies, coupled with the Golden Merchant Guild's space channels, it is absolutely safe.

In simple terms, the Golden Merchant Guild provides a safe channel for buying and selling.

Only third-level cosmic citizens native to Earth are qualified to become junior members of the Golden Merchant Guild, and can help buy or sell in any first-level civilization.

“Although I am a junior member of the Golden Merchant Guild, I can't buy the most important materials and devices.”

Chu Hongjun transmitted his thoughts, “The Golden Merchant Guild only helps me with purchasing in first-level civilizations, but spatial materials are rare even in 1.9-level civilizations. They are not sold to outsiders at all. Moreover… there are only a few 1.9-level civilizations in the Milky Way, and I can't buy much in a short period of time.”

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

The Golden Merchant Guild is essentially just a errand runner and purchasing agent, only safer and faster.

If there's something that can't be bought, the Golden Merchant Guild won't try to snatch it.

“So, we can only start with the Star Cluster Group's seventh-order space fortress.”

Chu Hongjun transmitted his thoughts, “This will depend on your clone, Kadoan. Kadoan's authority in the Star Cluster Group should be higher than Lei Tong's, right?”

“Yes.” Lin Qing transmitted his thoughts, “Kadoan has third-tier authority in the Yuanchen Civilization, while Lei Tong, although he is a Yuanchen Envoy, only had fifth-tier authority before. He was only given fourth-tier authority after becoming a Star God.”

In the Yuanchen Civilization, the first-tier authority is called 'Yuanchen Sword', and only the Chief Executive has first-tier authority.

The second-tier authority belongs to the three giants of the Yuanchen Civilization's military, commercial, and supervisory departments.

The next third-tier is the elders of the Council of Elders.

“Can Kadoan still access the core secrets of the Yuanchen Civilization?” Chu Hongjun asked through telepathy.

“Yes.”

Lin Qing transmitted his thoughts, “The Chief Executive trusts Kadoan quite a bit. Kadoan also has second-level jurisdiction over the interstellar fleet of the Yuanchen Civilization stationed on Mars.”

Chu Hongjun hummed and transmitted his thoughts, “Then we can't just let Kadoan betray the Yuanchen Civilization so easily. Even if we want to seize the seventh-order fortress, we have to maintain the Yuanchen Civilization's trust in Kadoan.”

“But… what should we do?” Lin Qing transmitted his thoughts.

As long as Lei Tong dies inside the fortress, the Yuanchen Civilization will definitely suspect Kadoan first.

Because…

In the entire Star Cluster Group, only Kadoan can bypass Lei Tong and forcibly control the fortress. Once Qi Lingxiao enters, who else would be a suspect besides Kadoan?

“I've already formulated a plan.”

Chu Hongjun transmitted his thoughts, “This plan also requires your cooperation.”

Then, he looked at Qi Lingxiao and said, “After this Sky Islands opening is over, let's prepare to attack extraterrestrial civilizations. Can you kill Lei Tong?”

Qi Lingxiao said helplessly, “If he doesn't hide in that turtle shell-like seventh-order fortress, of course I can kill him.”

“If you can enter the interior of that seventh-order fortress, how confident are you?” Chu Hongjun asked.

“Then of course I'm 100% confident.” Qi Lingxiao said confidently, “With Lei Tong's strength, even with the treasures given to him by the Yuanchen Civilization, that's all he is. If it takes me more than three strikes to kill him, I'll eat ten pounds of blue cheese when I get back.”

“That's good.” Chu Hongjun nodded slightly.

Irene suddenly asked, “Do you want Jia Yi to help? Her ability 'Borderless Door' can indeed teleport, but the Borderless Door can only teleport within the range of her telepathic observation. That seventh-order fortress completely isolates telepathy, and the Borderless Door has no way to work unless she can go in and leave a mark.”

“It has nothing to do with her.”

Chu Hongjun shook his head and said, “She can't help. With her current strength, the spatial vortex formed by the Borderless Door can be forcibly dispersed with the power of just the fifth level of the Star Abyss. In front of Lei Tong, there's no chance to stabilize the Borderless Door.”

Irene frowned slightly and said nothing more.

“Dean Chu.”

Lin Qing spoke, “Why wait until after the Sky Islands opening? If we act sooner, we can avoid extraterrestrial civilizations competing with us, right?”

From the information he brought back from the Vacuum Grand Tomb, he had the information of all the Sky Islands, and naturally shared it with these three.

Star Gods are allowed to enter the upper nine Sky Islands.

“There's no particular reason.”

Chu Hongjun said calmly, “However, using the destruction of Earth as a deterrent, the prerequisite is that Earth has enough value. To deter a 1.9-level civilization, and to make the 1.9-level civilization keep it a secret for us, Earth must also show a value that makes the 1.9-level civilization go crazy and dare not expose it. This requires Lei Tong to personally witness it on the upper Sky Islands. Anyway, it will be discovered sooner or later, so it's safer to do it sooner.”

Lin Qing understood.

That's indeed the logic.

The value of Earth currently exposed to the Star Cluster Group's eyes has not yet reached the point where a 1.9-level civilization would go crazy for it.

Divine Skills?

First-level civilizations that are more powerful have some Divine Skill inheritance, but the key is that they can't be practiced.

The Holy Text is useful, but not enough to make a 1.9-level civilization go crazy for it.

The inheritance of the upper nine Sky Islands truly involves second-level civilizations. For 1.9-level civilizations, that is definitely an extremely precious inheritance.

Enough to make a 1.9-level civilization completely crazy!

“Humans are like this.”

Chu Hongjun said softly, “The more they desire, the more they fear losing. Only in this way can true deterrence be achieved.”

Lin Qing nodded and said, “However, with Lei Tong's strength, he won't be able to obtain the inheritance from any of the upper Sky Islands' trials. He'll probably only be able to understand a little bit.”

“That's enough.”

Chu Hongjun said, “If he understands it completely, it will be troublesome.”

He looked at Qi Lingxiao again and said, “This time the Sky Islands open, don't go. Anyway, with your situation, you won't get anything really good on the upper Sky Islands.”

“Not going?” Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but be stunned, then asked in confusion, “Okay, but why?”

Chu Hongjun glanced at him, “Think about the requirements for entering the Sky Islands. If you go, won't Lei Tong know that you are already a Star God? He might directly take that seventh-order fortress and leave Earth, and that would be troublesome.”

Qi Lingxiao was slightly startled.

To enter the Sky Islands, in addition to the requirement that they must be cosmic citizens of Earth, the upper, middle, and lower Sky Islands also have different requirements.

The lower Sky Islands require awakened beings with basic divine duties.

The middle Sky Islands require original beings with original divine duties.

The upper Sky Islands require star beings with star divine duties.

“Okay.”

Qi Lingxiao shook his head, “It doesn't matter if I don't go this time. Anyway, the upper nine Sky Islands are of little use to me. With my talent… an eighth-level life form has almost reached its end.”

After he awakened, he was able to sense the power of the eighth level, so he was able to evolve to the eighth-level life form step by step.

But this is almost the limit.

Even if he uses divine duties to promote evolution, if he can't sense a higher level, the difficulty is unbelievably high.

Just like Kadoan.

In just a few hundred years, he had already reached the limit of evolution, and there had been no progress for hundreds of thousands of years.

In the past hundreds of thousands of years, Kadoan had also experienced thousands of divine duty simulation evolutions, but without being able to sense the ninth level, he could not understand what the structure of a ninth-level life form was like.

Involving incredibly complex and obscure space, without being able to sense it, it's like a blind man looking for a glowing fish in the boundless deep sea.

Not to mention thousands of times, even tens of millions of times, there may be no hope.

“However, for the Divine Child, this is not unchangeable…”

Lin Qing's heart stirred, “As long as I awaken my Authority first, and then increase the level of my Authority…”

After becoming a Divine Child, he already knew how to increase the level of his Authority.

It's just that he can't achieve it yet, so he's not in a hurry to say it now. It won't be too late to say it later when he has the opportunity.

“But, how exactly should I enter that seventh-order fortress?” Qi Lingxiao asked.

“It's very simple.”

Chu Hongjun pointed at Lin Qing and said, “This matter requires Lin Qing's help. You can hide in the alternate dimension of his third eye. After he enters the seventh-order fortress, he can release you.”

“Lin Qing?” Qi Lingxiao was surprised, then looked at Lin Qing and said, “Then it's up to you, Lin Qing.”

Lin Qing nodded.

Chu Hongjun looked at Lin Qing again and said, “Lin Qing, after the Sky Islands open, there is one thing you need to do, and only you can do it.”

“What?” Lin Qing asked in confusion.

……

……

Time passed day by day.

While the Sky Islands had not yet opened, Lin Qing casually found a time to certify as an Original God in the Star Patrol Council, and immediately obtained the identity of a Star Patrolman.

At the same time, his position in the Star Patrol Council jumped directly to 'Chairman'.

Yes, he is now one of the six chairmen of the Star Patrol Council.

The requirement for members of the Star Patrol Council is Original God, and the requirement for the chairman is the strength of the sixth level of the Star Abyss.

Even if Lin Qing doesn't use the World God, he has the strength of the peak of the sixth level of the Star Abyss, so he naturally meets the requirements and easily becomes the chairman.

Speaking of which, when he first joined the Star Patrol Council, there were still seven chairmen, but Chu Hongjun blew one up, and he killed one.

The Star Cluster Group didn't say much about this.

After Lei Tong became a Star God, this was the first time he explored the upper level of the Sky Islands, so he naturally didn't dare to break with Chu Hongjun, and could only pretend that nothing had happened.

Moreover, Lei Tong was not sure whether Qi Lingxiao had succeeded, so he didn't dare to leave the fortress.

……

“Confirmed.”

On the top of the Star Transmission Tower trial space, Lin Qing looked at the Star Abyss leaderboard in front of him, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

At this time, his newly created account '1' was ranked 12th on the Star Abyss list.

The style of this account name is similar to Chu Hongjun.

He also deliberately misled it that way.

The top eleven are Qi Lingxiao's ten accounts and Lei Tong, so he is exactly twelfth.

If you don't consider Chu Hongjun's reliance on technological means, and only consider pure personal combat power, he can be called the third strongest in the world on Earth!

“If I explode with all my strength and use the World God, I can easily sweep the seventh level of the Star Abyss, and I can barely support myself when facing those 'Star-Eating Demons' that are entering their growth period on the eighth level.”

Lin Qing thought to himself, “I am indeed considered to be at the top level among the seventh level of the Star Abyss, and I am not too far away from the eighth level…”

The fifth to seventh levels of the Star Abyss face the original blood demons.

But the eighth level of the Star Abyss is the Star Abyss demons 'Star-Eating Demons' that are entering their growth period, and each one is extremely terrifying.

In a one-on-one fight, Lin Qing can barely entangle with them, but the six Star-Eating Demons joining forces, with his current strength, even the World God can't withstand a few attacks.

Normally, only combat-type Star Gods can pass the eighth level, so it's normal that he can't pass.

“Currently, if I want to improve further, I must first transform into a Star Being.”

Lin Qing thought to himself, “Only seventh-level life forms can begin to control seventh-level divine skills and Holy Text. At that time, I can enter the Vacuum Grand Tomb again…”

The power of the seventh level, also known as 'Star Origin', is closely related to the consciousness of the planet, and this level of power has a great impact on consciousness.

Therefore, it must be a Star Being to truly control the seventh-level Star Origin power.

However…

In fact, Lin Qing can already transform into a Star Being and become a seventh-level life form.

After all, because of Kadoan's memory, he has already recognized the essence of dozens of seventh-level powers, and he can completely choose any one or several to transform his life.

But he is not sure which powers are most suitable to help him transform into a Star Life.

Different divine duties, talents, life essence, etc. will be different.

If there is a mistake, not only will his potential be affected, but his life form will also become weaker.

“I can only fulfill the duties of the Warlord first, relying on the Warlord to promote life evolution, so that I can experience the most perfect evolution…”

Lin Qing is not in a hurry, “After the Sky Islands end, my mother-in-law said she would help me. At that time, I can use the divine weapon to kill a few Star Beings, or kill dozens of Original Gods, and seize a little life essence.”

When he killed Caro before, he pursued an instant kill. As soon as the World God exploded, he blew the opponent to pieces, and he didn't have the opportunity to use the Warlord's divine weapon, so he missed this opportunity.

Fortunately, there are quite a few star beings from extraterrestrial civilizations.

After the Sky Islands are over, I'll just go and kill a few more.

Before he transforms into an ultimate star being, as long as there are enough strong individuals for him to kill, he can transform into an ultimate star being in one go, just like nutrients.

Unfortunately, there might not be enough extraterrestrial civilization powerhouses on Earth.

Moreover, the most important thing is to improve Divine Skills; the level of life is just a threshold.

...

...

In the blink of an eye, time came to December 29, 2124.

1:50 AM.

"The Sky Islands of the Second Universe Network will open again in five minutes."

Inside the quiet room of the underground base, Lin Qing sat cross-legged and immediately submerged his consciousness into the consciousness sensor, logging into the Second Universe Network.

In this second universe, which almost completely mirrors reality, Lin Qing opened his eyes again.

"Dawnlight, teleport me to the teleportation location I marked last time."

After Lin Qing instructed, he disappeared from the quiet room, and his whole person directly appeared at the surface location he had marked in advance.

Now that he is a second-star universe citizen, he naturally has the permission to 'teleport'.

1:55 AM.

"Boom!"

In the vast starry sky, a formless and grand energy roar suddenly came, and at the same time, a vast and ancient aura quickly spread from the depths of the sky.

In the deep night sky, long star rivers that were invisible to the naked eye suddenly appeared, like long bridges spanning the sky, connecting one floating island after another suspended in the high sky.

These lower islands, large and small, were at least thousands of kilometers above the ground.

As for the 999 middle-layer sky islands, they had already left the surface of the earth by more than five thousand kilometers.

Streams of light rose from the ground, quickly rushing towards the high sky.

Most of them were basic divine practitioners from various extraterrestrial civilizations, either flying alone or with the help of aircraft, rushing towards the sky islands in the sky.

"It has manifested!"

Lin Qing didn't hesitate, and directly transformed into a stream of light, soaring into the Earth's atmosphere. Once he reached high altitude, he immediately accelerated, and in the blink of an eye, he arrived near the middle-layer sky island closest to him.

This was a sky island with a diameter of about nine hundred kilometers, like a huge aerial land, looming under the cover of white mist.

Above the sky island were floating huge and dazzling special characters.

"Sky Island No. 029?"

Lin Qing took a glance and immediately understood the location of each sky island, and immediately accelerated towards one direction.

"Hmm, the closest is the Divine Skill inheritance of the Weapon Master lineage, I'll go get it first..."

In this almost resistance-free space environment, Lin Qing immediately soared to a terrifying speed of thousands of kilometers per second.

This was not his limit, but this speed was just enough for him to react.

Star Divine Practitioners, if they are willing, can gradually accelerate to tens of thousands of kilometers per second in resistance-free space, and space fortresses can even accelerate to near-light speed.

In just a few seconds, Lin Qing saw the huge sky island where the Weapon Master's Divine Skill test was located.

Suddenly—

"Hmm?"

Three streams of light could be seen passing by not far away, chasing each other. They were actually three original divine practitioners, and they were three councilors of the Star Patrol Council.

However, the first stream of light was obviously fleeing, and the two streams of light behind were chasing closely.

Lin Qing glanced at it.

He suddenly discovered that the stream of light that was fleeing was a deputy master of the Rising Sun Martial Hall, one of the few Earthlings in the Star Patrol Council, and also considered to be on the Earth autonomy faction's side.

The two people chasing behind were original divine practitioners from the Black Tower Civilization.

"What are they chasing?"

Lin Qing glanced at them, too lazy to ask, just pointed his fingertip, and immediately streams of light transformed from divine weapons flew out.

"Hmm? It's Lin Qing!"

"Councilor Lin, how dare you attack without reason?"

The two people's expressions changed, and they immediately stopped, trying to resist, while anxiously transmitting their voices.

"I'm killing you." Lin Qing's eyes were cold.

Even if he didn't use Divine Skills, just the divine weapons strengthened by the Holy Word 'Blood Edge', coupled with his gene index, which was almost ten times higher than the same level, was not something these two could resist.

In an instant, under the crisscrossing of dozens of streams of light, the two original divine practitioners from the Black Tower Civilization were immediately torn apart and could only wait to be resurrected.

When exploring the Sky Islands, the rule of each side is that you can't attack without reason, but he doesn't care about this rule now.

Not to mention these original divine practitioners, even the top powerhouses of various extraterrestrial civilizations, except for Lei Tong, no one is his opponent!

Or rather...

He couldn't wait for Lei Tong to come out of that turtle shell-like fortress to trouble him.

In that case, Qi Lingxiao could directly take action.

"Councilor Lin?"

The rescued deputy master was also stunned, seemingly not expecting that Lin Qing would dare to intervene, and kill the two so easily?

Clearly he didn't use the legendary Divine Skill, yet his strength is so amazing?

Lin Qing glanced at him, nodded slightly, didn't say much, and directly flew into the mist of this sky island.
