Orderly tyrant

The towering, colossal World God floated above Mars, looking at the tiny ape guardian in his palm, his voice booming like thunder: "You have some skills. You actually managed to break free?"

Immediately, he flipped his hand and flung the ape guardian away.

The twelve combat group puppets below immediately surrounded him, and strands of energy like spiderwebs immediately caught the ape guardian, wrapping him tightly again and completely binding him.

The puppet leading the combat group, a middle-aged man in appearance, immediately apologized, "Sorry, Lord. I didn't expect this person to have such a powerful treasure as a trump card. We were caught off guard and he managed to break free."

The World God transformed back into dissipating energy. Lin Qing descended from the sky, glanced at the ape guardian, and casually said, "After all, he's from a 1.9-level civilization. It's normal for him to have some skills."

The twelve combat group puppets all had the combat power of ordinary Star Abyss Ninth Layer cultivators, but all twelve had the same abilities, which allowed them to perfectly execute a battle formation.

With this battle formation, the power of the twelve merged into one, and even a peak Star Abyss Ninth Layer expert would be suppressed.

The ape guardian had paid the price of serious injuries to forcefully burst through the battle formation, and his strength was greatly damaged.

In fact, even if Lin Qing hadn't intervened, the ape guardian wouldn't have been able to escape.

At this point, the battle could be considered over.

On the entire planet Mars, apart from Lin Qing and his group, almost all other living beings were dead.

...

"Lord."

The silver-haired woman respectfully said, "This operation was perfect. All enemy star creatures were killed. Only a few primitive creatures were captured alive. All primitive-level creatures and below were also cleaned up. Warships and fortresses below the seventh level couldn't stop my mental power from penetrating, so the creatures hidden inside were also killed."

She paused, and then said, "In addition, we seized two legion-level cosmic fleets, two seventh-level fortresses, fifty-one warships and fortresses that meet the sixth-level standard, and more than sixty thousand units that meet the fifth-level standard."

A hint of a smile appeared on Lin Qing's face, and he said, "So many warships and fortresses, can they be brought back to Earth?"

"Of course, there's no problem."

The silver-haired woman nodded and said, "Anyway, they are controlled by intelligent systems. These warships and fortresses are worth a lot of money even just for the materials. Some 1.8-level civilizations in the universe wouldn't even have this scale of fleet."

Lin Qing smiled and said, "After all, he's a prince of a 1.9-level civilization. The Yuan Chen civilization is also related to the Nine Stars civilization, otherwise we wouldn't have such a harvest."

Just the seventh-level fortresses alone were something that a 1.8-level civilization couldn't produce.

Only a 1.9-level civilization like the Nine Stars civilization, which possessed void creatures, could build seventh-level fortresses.

Fortunately, among the puppets he obtained in the Vacuum Tomb, there were mechanical scholars from various fields. As long as he could find the core of the seventh-level fortress, conquering and seizing it wouldn't be too difficult.

"By the way, Lord."

The silver-haired woman said, "The Seventh Prince of the Nine Stars civilization has already been captured alive, but he is a star creature and can't be taken back to Earth. We still need to deal with him as soon as possible and then return to Earth to prevent the void creatures from coming."

"Shouldn't it be fine for a short time?" Lin Qing said, "As far as I know, if you travel from the coordinates of the Nine Stars civilization at near light speed and the shortest route through a wormhole, it would take at least three months."

"Lord, it's not like that."

The silver-haired woman said, "Leaving aside the void creatures, most void creatures in 1.9-level civilizations have eighth-level spaceships and fortresses. Spaceships with this level of technology have already mastered certain space technologies and can easily achieve faster-than-light travel."

"Warp engine?" Lin Qing asked thoughtfully.

"Yes." The silver-haired woman nodded and said, "In fact, seventh-level spaceships can already do this, but they can't exceed the speed of light by too much, while eighth-level spaceships can exceed the speed of light by more than ten times. Most importantly... teams from 1.9-level civilizations don't need so many procedures when traveling through wormholes, so it doesn't waste any time."

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

He knew that most first-level civilizations in the universe could only achieve navigation technology that was incredibly close to the speed of light, but because there were a large number of artificial wormholes in the cosmic starry sky, traveling was very convenient.

And these wormholes were actually created by 1.9-level civilizations.

For 1.9-level civilizations that have mastered space technology, creating wormholes is as simple as building roads for people on Earth, and they charge other civilizations tolls for using them.

The Milky Way alone has countless artificial wormholes, some of which were created by the Nine Stars civilization.

It can be said that as long as there are places with life planets, they are inevitably connected to artificial wormholes.

And 1.9-level civilizations rely on these countless wormholes to earn immeasurable and terrifying wealth.

This is also the reason why a Seventh Prince can easily take out trillions of star coins and casually give them away like he was sending away beggars to the Black Tower civilization and the Goddess Stream civilization.

"Not to mention... if a void creature comes in person, especially a void creature whose understanding of the essence of space leans towards stealth, traveling through the void will only be faster."

The silver-haired woman said solemnly, "Once a void creature arrives, we will be in danger even on the moon. With the abilities of a void creature, although it is impossible to forcefully break through the protection of the rules and enter Earth, landing on the moon is still very simple."

Lin Qing nodded.

The protective power of the rules of a life planet is closely related to the planet's gravity. If the power of the rules on the surface is so strong that it is impossible to resist, then at a distance of 50,000 kilometers from the ground, only one percent of the strength remains.

And the average distance between the moon and the Earth is 380,000 kilometers, and the power of the rules is only a few thousandths of that on Earth.

However, even a few thousandths is impossible for a Star God to shake.

Unexpectedly...

Void creatures can actually forcefully land on the moon?

"But, isn't there a quantum-level shield manufactured by the engineer?"

Lin Qing frowned slightly and said, "The news can't be transmitted, so the Nine Stars civilization shouldn't be able to discover it so quickly, right?"

The reason why he dared to publicly reveal his true strength was because the 'engineer' among the mechanical scholar puppets had created a shield with extremely high technological content, enough to shield the consciousness sensors of the entire planet and prevent logging into the Second Universe Network.

Whether it was mechanical components implanted in the brain or body, or external equipment, all were shielded.

The Second Universe Network, a great existence that reflects the entire universe, even the Vacuum Tomb could not stop the reflection of the Second Universe, so naturally it was impossible to dispel the Second Universe Network.

But simply shielding consciousness sensors could still be achieved.

"After losing contact with Mars, the Nine Stars civilization will definitely discover it."

The silver-haired woman analyzed, "After all, he is a prince and must be watched at all times. Once they discover that the prince is out of contact and no one else can be contacted, the Nine Stars civilization will naturally realize that something has happened."

"Void creatures have lived for so many years, and he's just one of their children. They wouldn't come in person right away, would they?" Lin Qing pondered.

A powerful being with infinite life has countless children in their long life. Just because one of them suddenly loses contact, they wouldn't send someone to investigate first before coming in person?

"Lord, it's not like that."

The silver-haired woman said, "For this kind of imperial 1.9-level civilization, void creatures try their best to give birth to geniuses with Ninth Order talent, not only for inheritance, but also to get rid of the responsibility of sitting on the throne forever. Therefore, for the emperors of the Nine Stars civilization, princes are not only sons and heirs, but also successors who help them get rid of responsibility."

"Get rid of responsibility?" Lin Qing asked thoughtfully.

"Let's take the Nine Stars civilization as an example, Lord, you can think about it carefully."

The silver-haired woman said, "The first emperor of the Nine Stars civilization, as the ancestor, should have sincerely wanted the civilization to last forever, so he was willing to become the leader of the civilization. As an immortal void creature, becoming an immortal emperor can lead the civilization to prosper forever."

"But... before being an emperor leader, he is first and foremost an individual, and he will also have his own pursuits and ideals. At this time, his home civilization will become his shackle, and he is unwilling to get rid of or abandon his home civilization."

"Therefore, he chooses to pay a great price to cultivate a second void creature, sign a four-star contract, inherit his throne, and manage his home civilization forever for him, so that he can leave with peace of mind and do what he wants to do."

"And the second-generation emperor will inevitably have this kind of thinking after sitting on the throne for a long time, so he will also think about cultivating a new void creature to take over the throne."

The silver-haired woman sighed, "Therefore, the Seventh Prince, as the youngest prince of the Nine Stars civilization, also has the hope of taking over the throne. For that emperor, giving birth to a genius with Ninth Order talent like the Seventh Prince must have cost a great price, and he will naturally not let the Seventh Prince die easily."

She looked at Lin Qing, "Therefore, it is possible for that emperor to come in person."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "Then let's solve it as soon as possible and return to Earth, it will be over soon anyway."

"In addition..."

The silver-haired woman hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Before the Seventh Prince came to Mars, he already knew the secret of Earth. He may tell this secret to some confidants of the Nine Stars civilization. Once something happens to him, the Nine Stars civilization may also know the secret of Earth, at least they will recognize that Earth is formed by the fragments of a secret realm of a second-level civilization."

"It doesn't matter, I'm already prepared." Lin Qing said, "There are still seven months, let's see what happens then."

The silver-haired woman nodded slightly.

Lin Qing opened his mouth and said, "Black Assassin, hand over that Seventh Prince."

A black figure emerged from the void, holding a silver-white cocoon in his hand.

"Lord, do you want to undo the restraints?" the Black Assassin asked.

"Undo them." Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "Commander, help with mental control to prevent this Seventh Prince from committing suicide."

"Yes." The silver-haired woman nodded.

The silver-white cocoon immediately peeled off and dissipated, revealing the Seventh Prince who was in a coma inside.

As the cocoon dissipated, the Seventh Prince woke up, stunned for a moment, then an uncontrollable fear appeared in his eyes, staring at Lin Qing, and trembling, "You can't kill me! I am the prince of the Nine Stars civilization! Lin Qing, a genius like you shouldn't go astray. As long as you are willing to let me go, I will immediately..."

"I don't plan to kill you." Lin Qing interrupted him.

The Seventh Prince couldn't help but be stunned: "What?"

"Your father is a void creature, how could I kill you?" Lin Qing said, "I just wanted to retaliate against the Yuan Chen civilization that persecuted Earth back then. I didn't expect you to get involved. I can't help it, so I hope you can keep it a secret for me... Do you still have a four-star contract?"

The Seventh Prince thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case, and quickly nodded: "Yes, yes."

"Then you make a four-star confidentiality contract now." Lin Qing said, "The content is that as long as you keep it a secret for me, I will never kill you in the future, nor will I order anyone to kill you."

"Really?" The Seventh Prince felt a little excited, as if he saw the hope of life.

"Do you think my Earth civilization dares to provoke a void creature?" Lin Qing shook his head and said, "Even... I can cooperate with you."

"Cooperate?"

The Seventh Prince felt that he might really be safe, and calmed down a bit.

That's right, even if such a monstrous genius emerges from an Earth civilization, it will take an unknown amount of time to grow into a void creature, and it will definitely be impossible before Earth is opened.

So it's normal to not dare to provoke void creatures.

"Yes, cooperate."

Lin Qing looked at him and said, "As long as you are willing to help my Earth civilization in the future, I can also help you ascend to the throne."

"You help me ascend to the throne?" The Seventh Prince asked suspiciously: "How can you help? I must become a void creature to ascend to the throne, or win the competition against my brothers to get my father's full guidance and enough cultivation resources. Are you going to give me the treasures of Earth?"

He himself didn't dare to believe that the other party would be so kind.

"No, I have a way that can make you definitely valued by your father."

Lin Qing smiled mysteriously and said, "Once it's done, your father will definitely value you extremely, and he will spare no effort to cultivate you into a void creature."

"What method?" The Seventh Prince was even more puzzled.

"Look at what this is?"

Lin Qing suddenly waved his hand, and a huge black crystal appeared on the ground in front of him, and the crystal exuded a strange light.

The Seventh Prince took a closer look and was completely stunned.

"This... this is..." He looked at the huge crystal dumbfounded, and murmured in disbelief: "Star Origin Stone? Such a big Star Origin Stone?"

He had seen Star Origin Stones many times, but they were all very small, and he had never seen a Star Origin Stone that was enough to awaken his authority.

Not to mention such a huge Star Origin Stone!

"You mean..." The Seventh Prince was surging, his face flushed with excitement, as if he had flown from the bottom of the valley near death to heaven.

"Yes." Lin Qing said, "As long as you, the Seventh Prince, can awaken your authority, once you have the authority of the Ninth Order, I think not only your father, but also the ancestor of the Nine Stars civilization should value you extremely, right?"

The Seventh Prince couldn't suppress his excitement, and nodded frequently: "Yes, if I can awaken my authority, my father and ancestor will definitely spare no expense to make me a void creature!"

Authority awakeners can not only allow more people to awaken their authority and develop their talents, but the key is that the number of Star Origin Stones produced will become more and more exaggerated!

As long as there are enough people and enough Star Origin Stones are created, under the guidance and development of void creatures, high-dimensional planets can be transformed into the legendary void secret realm!

And he will become the civilization's greatest contributor!

"Your Highness, do you believe I'm cooperating with you now?" Lin Qing said, "Your Highness can awaken your authority first, and then sign the contract. We can even write this into the contract. Please."

At the same time, he expanded his telekinesis and transmitted a message to Qi Lingxiao: "Curator Qi, you can come over now."
