Orderly tyrant

Mars.

Inside the Blood Cauldron King's fortress.

The Emperor, clad in a dark red robe, stood before the life restoration pod, his brow deeply furrowed, sensing the Blood Cauldron King's slumbering state within.

Using his Void Perception and a secret probing technique, he could clearly sense the Blood Cauldron King's life force slowly declining, his mental fluctuations nearly gone.

"What exactly happened?" the Emperor said in a low voice.

The Nine-Star Civilization Royal Guard Commander, who stood behind him, spoke, "Your Majesty, we don't know the specifics. We only know that Elder Kadoan of the Yuanchen Civilization was discovered outside Mars at the time. After the Blood Cauldron King summoned him, according to the surveillance records, Kadoan suddenly produced a special device that not only blocked the surveillance records but also cut off the Second Universe Network connection."

He paused, "About ten seconds later, the two commanders of my Imperial Guard who were with the Blood Cauldron King were killed, and the Blood Cauldron King was also critically injured. It is said that it was due to an unknown method used by the Earthlings."

"That Kadoan is an elder of the Yuanchen Civilization, why would he help the Earthlings?" The Emperor frowned.

The Royal Guard Commander pondered for a moment, then said, "Kadoan once took the initiative to possess a body on Earth. Perhaps some secret agreement was reached?"

The Emperor snorted coldly, then with a flip of his hand, a pale cyan hexagonal crystal appeared.

With a gentle push, this strange crystal pierced through the void and directly entered the life restoration pod, transforming into a vibrant cyan stream of energy that completely merged into the Blood Cauldron King's body.

As the intense life force merged, the Blood Cauldron King's rate of life decline slowed down significantly.

The Emperor looked on with some heartache.

For Void beings, converting the Void energy that contains all things into life force is something they can replenish millions of years of lifespan with a single breath, so the total amount of life force is what matters to them.

And this treasure was enough to increase the total amount of life force for Void beings, making it quite precious.

He originally wanted to accumulate more before absorbing it, as the effect would be better.

But now he had no choice but to take it out to prolong the Blood Cauldron King's life.

After all, he still planned to reside on Earth in the future, nurturing a group of new geniuses on Earth to help him explore Earth's treasures. Once the Blood Cauldron King broke through, the Nine-Star Civilization would be managed by the Blood Cauldron King.

If he died just like that, he wouldn't know when he could wait for the next successor.

"Your Majesty, has the Blood Cauldron King recovered?" the Guard Commander couldn't help but ask.

"No."

The Emperor said coldly, "Who knows what treasures those Earthlings obtained from the ancient civilization ruins, that even the Blood Cauldron King's consciousness has fallen into slumber?"

He took a deep breath and slowly said, "I can only ask Father to take a look."

As the Nine-Star Civilization's most promising seed of a Void being, it was only right to ask the progenitor to come forward when something like this happened.

"The Progenitor?" the Guard Commander couldn't help but say, "Didn't the Progenitor go to find a Tier 2 civilization?"

"It was just finding a broken secret realm," the Emperor said faintly, "It's just right to let Father come to Earth to take a look. This is the real treasure."

Inside the life restoration pod, the Blood Cauldron King lay quietly as if in a state of death, with only a faint trace of consciousness.

However, he still had some awareness of the outside world.

"The Nine-Star Civilization's Progenitor?" Lin Qing couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart.

At this moment, he had deliberately gathered almost all of the Blood Cauldron King's clone's consciousness into the main body, leaving only a trace, making it look as if the consciousness had fallen into slumber.

This was the same principle as separating a portion of consciousness to enter the Second Universe Network.

As for the life force slowly weakening, it was just actively and continuously pouring life force into the life weapon within his body.

"The Nine-Star Civilization's Progenitor has lived for nearly ten million years, I'm afraid he won't be so easily fooled, I wonder how he will handle this…" Lin Qing thought to himself.

He wasn't afraid of the Blood Cauldron King's clone being exposed and destroyed, he mainly wanted to delay for more time.

If he could threaten the other party with the Blood Cauldron King's life, he should be able to delay for more time.

"…Father has decided to personally descend a projection to investigate."

The Emperor suddenly spoke, and then with a flip of his hand, he took out a silver-white conch.

In the next moment, as the silver-white conch emitted strange ripples, the space also fluctuated, and a tiny and deep spatial rift quietly tore open inside the conch.

A faint stream of light flew out from it, and immediately transformed into a short man with long, deep blue hair.

Only one and a half meters tall, and just a projection, but the aura it emitted was extremely strange, obscure and hidden, as if he himself was a part of the void.

"Father?" The Emperor was immediately stunned and said in surprise, "You broke through?"

"No," the Nine-Star Progenitor shook his head slightly, "I just recognized the second Void essence, the breakthrough is still early."

He didn't say much, just looked at the Blood Cauldron King.

The Blood Cauldron King was also his son. Although in his long life, he didn't know how many tens of thousands of children he had, and he didn't have much affection for such a son, he was still his bloodline after all.

"Mirror."

The Nine-Star Progenitor stared at the Blood Cauldron King who was sleeping with his eyes closed, and a strange light appeared in his eyes.

Suddenly, he narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Father, what's wrong?" The Emperor asked.

"It's very troublesome."

The Nine-Star Progenitor slowly walked forward and said, "How about this, you use the Void Blood Secret Technique to take a closer look at him."

"Void Blood?" The Emperor was stunned, and then received the Nine-Star Progenitor's voice transmission.

He frowned slightly, but still pointed his fingertip, and the void fluctuated. The space at his fingertip seemed to flow out like water, with a faint scarlet color rippling within, looking like blood flowing out of the void.

This spatial power, like scarlet blood, flowed like water, quickly passing through the life restoration pod and penetrating into the Blood Cauldron King's body within the pod.

Lin Qing was still thinking about what the Void Blood Secret Technique was, but suddenly felt an irresistible and terrifying force filling the Blood Cauldron King's clone's body, making the clone's body and power seem to be petrified, instantly completely solidified.

With his power, even if he tried his best, he could only barely move his eyelids, lips, and other subtle movements.

Lin Qing instantly realized that the other party was imprisoning him!

"Hmph."

A cold snort sounded, and the Nine-Star Progenitor said coldly, "Although I don't know who you are, I know you are not Alrea, the consciousness has changed… Did you possess Alrea? Or did you refine him into a clone?"

The Emperor next to him said in shock, "Possession? Clone?"

The Nine-Star Progenitor said coldly, "In the Void Star Sea, those from Tier 2 civilizations may have this kind of ability or treasure. Although it is extremely rare, it is not impossible."

"Hahaha…"

As the domain energy vibrated, a burst of laughter suddenly sounded, and the Blood Cauldron King lying in the life restoration pod also opened his eyes.

"As expected of the Nine-Star Progenitor."

Lin Qing looked at the Nine-Star Progenitor with mockery, "You old monster who has lived for nearly ten million years, it seems that you have come into contact with many people from Tier 2 civilizations, and your knowledge is indeed extraordinary. You can actually guess this?"

He didn't find it strange that people from Tier 2 civilizations could deduce this.

After all, there were not a few geniuses with Tier 10 energy authority in Tier 2 civilizations. He had encountered quite a few during the Divine Son Trial.

"You are an Earthling?"

The Nine-Star Progenitor stared at his unfamiliar son and said coldly, "Tier 10 energy level ability? Or Tier 9? Such a perfect life clone has been refined, I think it should be Tier 10, right? It's unbelievable, there is actually a Tier 10 genius on Earth?"

Lin Qing smiled and said, "You can guess slowly."

"Earth is really lucky," the Nine-Star Progenitor nodded slowly, "I heard that the leader of Earth is a very young little guy, named Lin Qing, it seems to be you?"

"Is that so?" Lin Qing looked at him with a smile.

"It seems that there is nothing to talk about," the Nine-Star Progenitor suddenly said, "Kill him."

The Emperor frowned, took a deep breath, his eyes narrowed, and the void suddenly shook violently, completely annihilating the Blood Cauldron King's clone.

"Father," the Emperor's face was not very good.

Although he didn't have much brotherly affection for the Blood Cauldron King, he was still the heir he had recognized.

Now that he was dead, how long would it take for him to get out of the throne?

"You went to Earth to see it, what do you think of the treasures on Earth?" the Nine-Star Progenitor asked.

"Very useful," the Emperor said, "I explored the Bronze Demon Mountain ruins on Earth. Just by climbing to the first ten thousand floors, I obtained a Tier 2.1 civilization's imprint, and it was the most suitable one for me. I don't know how many tens of thousands of floors are above. The origin of Earth's former civilization is probably extremely extraordinary."

"A Tier 2.1 civilization's guiding imprint? And the most suitable one for you?" the Nine-Star Progenitor was stunned.

Although his son was a Void being, he didn't have many opportunities to manage the family civilization and explore the Void Star Sea, I'm afraid he didn't understand how special this was!

"Perhaps, there are many Tier 2 civilization's guiding imprints in those former civilization ruins?"

The Nine-Star Progenitor was shocked, "These shouldn't be the imprints that those civilizations took out on their own initiative, but the guiding imprints made by those ruins?"

Although the masters of the secret realms of those Tier 2 civilizations would sell some guiding imprints to the outside world, they mainly exchanged them with other Tier 2 civilizations, just like exchange students in some academies in the universe.

But there was another situation.

That was a Tier 2.9 civilization. As the existence standing at the peak of Tier 2 civilizations, they could easily analyze the Void secret realms of other Tier 2 civilizations and create corresponding guiding imprints.

Without the consent of the owner of that secret realm, they could directly create the guiding imprint of that secret realm!

Therefore, some peerless geniuses of Tier 2.9 civilizations could freely enter and exit the Void secret realms of various Tier 2 civilizations, and they were also the most terrifying existence in the Void Star Sea!

"Earth's former civilization, could it possibly be a Tier 2.9 civilization?"

The Nine-Star Progenitor's heart was trembling.

Looking at the entire Void Star Sea corresponding to this universe domain, there were only a few Tier 2.9 civilizations, and they could be called the truly most terrifying overlord-level existence in this area!

He took a deep breath and suddenly said, "Give up on Earth."

"What?" The Nine-Star Emperor was stunned.

"The former civilization ruins on this planet have too great an origin. It is definitely not something that our small Tier 1.9 civilization can touch," the Nine-Star Progenitor said slowly, "Excessive greed will only lead to destruction. Even if it is just an Earth genius created by the legacy of a Tier 2.9 civilization, it has already caused us a great loss. This is not a treasure we can control."

"Father!"

The Nine-Star Emperor said anxiously, "This Earth's former civilization ruins are too helpful to us. How can we give up like this? As long as we can obtain those treasures, our Nine-Star Civilization will also be able to cope with the harm of the Star Abyss Demon Race in the future, and you and I can…"

Speaking of this, he found that his father's eyes were suddenly cold, which made his heart chill and he stopped.

"I don't mean to discuss with you," the Nine-Star Progenitor glanced at him coldly, "Remember, I can nurture you, this son, and I can also destroy you."

The Nine-Star Emperor bit his teeth and slowly lowered his head.

"I will now notify that high-level member of the Tier 2 civilization that I am most familiar with."

The Nine-Star Progenitor said indifferently, "By informing the Tier 2 civilization of this discovery, we can also obtain huge rewards, and perhaps we can also have the opportunity to awaken our authority."

The Nine-Star Emperor was silent for a while before speaking, "Father, how long will it take for the Tier 2 civilization to descend?"

"Uncertain, but descending from the Void Star Sea in the high-dimensional layer into the universe, the speed will definitely be fast," the Nine-Star Progenitor glanced at him and said faintly, "What? You still want to take advantage of this last opportunity to make a fortune from the Earth treasure?"

"Please understand, Father," the Nine-Star Emperor lowered his head.

"Go," the Nine-Star Progenitor said coldly, "But after the news from the Tier 2 civilization comes, you must leave Earth immediately, understand?"

"Yes," the Nine-Star Emperor nodded immediately.

"Remember this for me,"

The Nine-Star Progenitor said coldly, "Don't do anything extra to Earth. If it really leads to the annihilation of Earth and causes the Tier 2 civilization to be furious, then you and I will have to die."

……

……

“Rumble——”

As a large amount of memory emerged in Lin Qing's mind, all kinds of massive Tier 8 energy also continued to pour into his body, causing the original World God energy to transform wildly, making a heaven-shaking roar.

I don't know how long it has passed.

"This is… the most perfect World God?"

Lin Qing felt the terrifying power after his own complete transformation, and couldn't help but feel secretly shocked.

Although this power was too strong and had not yet been completely integrated and solidified, it was already amazing enough. Under his gene strength and foundation that exceeded the cosmic standard by thousands of times, the energy was also more vast and abundant.

After all, this was the most perfect combination of all kinds of forces existing in the universe, from Tier 6 to Tier 8, just like building a tall building.

Walking to this step was already the strongest divine skill in theory.

Next, there were only two steps: fusing and solidifying the World God, and achieving the Star God.

Further on, it was a piece of darkness.

There was no way forward.

Only by creating it yourself.

Tier 9 does not exist in the universe, so everyone's Tier 9 power is different, and further on, you can only create it yourself, creating divine skills that are suitable for you.

Moreover, to transform into a Void being, it is not like in the past where you only need to recognize specific energy to transform. You also have to seek the ethereal and elusive void to have a slight possibility.

Tier 8 Divine Skill, Ultimate Star Creature, these are the limits of the universe.

"Only when the future is clearly visible can one reverse cause and effect, directly pre-empt the result, and create one's own path..."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

He wasn't entirely sure about the road ahead, but he had some special ideas in his mind.

The specifics would have to wait for future experiments.

"At least... I still have a lot of room for improvement. Let's solidify the World God first, and then pass the Star God Trial."

Lin Qing took a deep breath.

In any case, he didn't need to fuse and solidify the World God right now. Just merging with the Black Flame clone would give him the power of the tenth level of the Star Abyss.

"I wonder how the Nine-Star Progenitor will handle things next... I should go to the Vacuum Grand Tomb as soon as possible."

Lin Qing's vertical eye on his forehead lit up, and he immediately took out the temporary pass for the Vacuum Grand Tomb from the other dimension.

This temporary pass could only temporarily return him to the Vacuum Grand Tomb and couldn't be used to enter the training room, so it was the same no matter where he cultivated.

"Return."

Lin Qing immediately activated the temporary pass for the Vacuum Grand Tomb.
