Orderly tyrant

"Lin Qing?"

Inside the space-time cage, the Nine Star Emperor looked coldly at Lin Qing. "You dare to come in here in your true form?"

He could tell at a glance that Lin Qing was still just an ultimate star creature. So what if he became a Star Divine?

He had also heard that peerless geniuses in Tier 2 civilizations could rival Void creatures after obtaining a Star-level Divine Title, but even such geniuses could only rival them.

Although he wasn't qualified to contact Tier 2 civilizations, he knew how powerful Void creatures were.

"Oh? It seems you don't have any information from Tier 2 civilizations?" Lin Qing looked at the Nine Star Emperor, a trace of pity in his eyes. "How pathetic..."

His name had already spread throughout the Void Sea, and now he had passed the Star God Trial with a perfect score, becoming a new Star God. Any Tier 2 civilization with decent intelligence would definitely have some assessment of his strength.

But this Nine Star Emperor still regarded him as an ordinary Star Divine?

"Poor thing..."

Lin Qing was too lazy to say more. He moved instantly and slapped out with his palm.

Divine weapon light condensed and collapsed, the pure darkness seeming to return everything to nothingness. Wherever the terrifying power passed, the space showed obvious signs of collapse and rupture, directly falling towards the Nine Star Emperor.

At the same time, the space-time cage that isolated everything suddenly shrank, leaving the opponent no room to dodge.

"Hmm?"

But it was too late. Under his hasty resistance, he only felt that the endless intent of annihilation seemed to destroy everything. The space barrier he hurriedly mobilized couldn't resist at all, and his body was struck by this terrifying power of annihilation.

Silently, the Nine Star Emperor's body instantly turned into nothingness, his soul shattered in the void along with it.

After the collapse of the void within his body, a large number of items scattered out.

At the same time, after using Primordial Destruction to kill the Nine Star Emperor, an incomparably pure and vast source of life surged forth.

"Such carelessness has saved me a lot of trouble."

A smile appeared on the corner of Lin Qing's mouth, and with a movement of the vertical eye between his eyebrows, he collected the relics left behind after the Nine Star Emperor's annihilation.

In fact, without merging with the Black Flame clone, he only had 10% of his strength when merging and burning, and he didn't use World God, so he was only in the middle and lower reaches of Star Abyss Tier 11.

He wasn't much stronger than the Nine Star Emperor, but the opponent's resistance was too hasty, and he was blocked by the space-time cage, unable to dodge, so he was naturally killed with one blow.

"Full."

At this moment, Lin Qing clearly sensed that the 'experience bar' of the Divine Title of Military Dao Emperor had instantly filled up.

Enough for him to experience the process of transforming into a Void creature once.

Lin Qing wasn't in a hurry to experience it now. Instead, he formed a thought projection and entered another space-time cage to see the white-gold robed man.

"Lin Qing?"

The white-gold robed man was closing his eyes and cultivating, but now he turned his head and looked over, a smile on his lips.

"Oh?" Lin Qing also noticed the change in the other party's attitude.

"I didn't expect a planetary civilization to be able to give birth to a genius like you?" The white-gold robed man smiled and said, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am the seventy-first pillar of the Towering Wheel Civilization. You can call me Xilin."

Lin Qing raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "I heard that you are a big shot like a Void Overlord. Why are you being so polite to a nobody who isn't even a Void creature?"

"I apologize."

The white-gold robed man said sincerely, "I was also thinking habitually before. I never thought that a planetary civilization that obtained the legacy of a Tier 3 civilization could produce someone like you. Please forgive me, Mr. Lin Qing."

He shook his head and said, "In front of Mr. Lin Qing, how can I be considered a big shot?"

In the past, he never thought that Lin Qing would be able to pass the Star God Trial. After all, the difficulty of the Star God Trial had reached an unbelievable level.

It wasn't until the news spread just now that he realized that the leader of this planetary civilization had actually become a new Star God!

As a Tier 2.3 civilization, in the billions of years of the Towering Wheel Civilization's history, only three Star Gods had appeared.

The current Towering Wheel Civilization doesn't even have a single Star God!

This is also the situation for most Tier 2 civilizations.

Although he was a Void Overlord who controlled the rules of space, and also a pillar-level powerhouse of the Towering Wheel Civilization, the Towering Wheel Civilization had still accumulated over a hundred powerhouses like him after billions of years.

But Star Gods are different. Although most Star Gods can only exist for about a billion years, their status is higher than Void Overlords like him!

If the current Towering Wheel Civilization wants artifacts, they have to ask Star Gods from other civilizations to help refine them!

In front of a Star God, he didn't have the face to call himself a big shot.

Even if Earth is still just a planetary civilization, with a Star God's help, it will eventually become a Tier 2 civilization!

"Mr. Xilin, are you trying to get me to let this clone of yours leave?" Lin Qing sized up the other party.

"That's not it."

The white-gold robed man slowly shook his head and said, "I know that if you do something wrong, you should pay the price. I will take the initiative to dissipate this clone. The treasures carried by this clone will be considered as an apology to Mr. Lin Qing."

He very wisely didn't propose to make another apology.

Because he knew that making another apology would require sending the gift back to Earth, but this civilization and the Star God in front of him were still too weak to remove the space-time concealment, otherwise it would give many Tier 2 civilizations an opportunity.

Although the treasure carried by the clone was quite precious and losing it was painful, he would be fine as long as he deleted that memory.

Most importantly...

The master of the secret realm of the Ancient Wheel Civilization had ordered the Ancient Wheel Civilization and its affiliated civilizations not to make things difficult for Lin Qing.

"Apology?"

Lin Qing glanced at him, somewhat speechless.

A dignified Void Overlord, a high-level figure of a Tier 2 civilization, taking the initiative to apologize to him?

To be honest, this Void Overlord of the Tier 2 civilization hadn't done anything since his arrival, and there was no mortal feud with the Earth civilization. Now that he was willing to apologize so sincerely, he really didn't need to say anything more.

Moreover, only the other party's clone was sealed by the space-time cage, and he couldn't do anything to the other party.

With his current strength, the gap between him and the Void Overlord's strength was unknown how great.

So...

"Alright."

Lin Qing nodded and said, "Then I will pretend that this never happened."

"Mr. Lin Qing is indeed broad-minded." The white-gold robed man smiled, not minding that he was bowing his head to a Star creature.

In the entire Void Sea, there were many Star creatures with higher status and more noble identities than him.

In his long life, the number of times he had bowed his head was countless.

What did it matter to apologize and soften now?

"Mr. Lin, please take a look."

The white-gold robed man flipped his hand and took out a miniature star model like a globe, and you could feel the strange spatial distortion and the vast power of the star's rotation.

"This is an Order-type artifact."

The white-gold robed man introduced, "Mr. Lin Qing can use it to exchange for a Life-type artifact, or ask an Order-type Star God to wash away the Divine Skill imprints and give it away."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and asked, "What level of artifact is it?"

"Five-colored, suitable for imprinting domain-type Divine Skills." The white-gold robed man said, "At least my strength can reach the upper limit of this artifact."

Although Lin Qing had never refined artifacts, he also knew the specific situation of artifacts.

Therefore, he didn't ask any more questions and directly collected the five-colored artifact that looked like a globe.

"Mr. Lin Qing, then I won't disturb you."

The white-gold robed man nodded lightly, then slowly dissipated into energy, and then completely disappeared without a trace.

After the white-gold robed man dissipated, Lin Qing couldn't help but shake his head slowly, feeling a little emotional.

"It's a five-colored artifact after all, and he just doesn't want it?"

According to what he knew—

Artifacts can be divided into six major factions according to their attributes.

The artifact level can be divided into seven colors according to the number of colors, and the highest is the Chaos color.

As a faction artifact, the biggest role is to resonate with the rules of the universe, so as to connect the power of the origin of the universe and exert stronger power.

The higher the artifact level, the higher the upper limit of power.

However, at least you must have Divine Skills to exert the power of the artifact—you must turn your own good Divine Skills into secret patterns, find a suitable artifact carrier, imprint the Divine Skill secret patterns on the artifact, and the artifact origin can be shaped.

Once successful, not only will the consumption of Divine Skills be extremely small, but it can also exert more terrible power.

Of course, the premise is that the upper limit of the artifact's power is high enough.

"Although it is a basic artifact, it is a five-colored level after all, which is not bad..."

Lin Qing nodded secretly.

Basic artifacts can only accommodate the secret pattern of one Divine Skill to form the origin of the artifact, which also means that only one Divine Skill can be brought into full play.

If it is a combination of Divine Skills, if you want to bring it into full play, you must rely on the rarer 'artifact set'.

"The refining method of artifact sets seems to be very precious..."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly, "If you want to find a suitable artifact set, you can only start from the Vacuum Tomb to have hope..."

He also knew.

Star Gods can certainly refine artifacts, but they must also have a refining method.

Different forms of artifacts can adapt to different Divine Skills. Only when the Divine Skill and the artifact are adapted and fit can they exert sufficient power.

For example, a long knife-shaped artifact is used to exert a single attack Divine Skill, the fit between the artifact and the Divine Skill may be very high, but if it is used to exert a defensive Divine Skill, the fit will be relatively low.

Generally speaking—

If the fit between the artifact and the Divine Skill reaches 100%, and the artifact level is high enough and the upper limit of the power is high enough, the Divine Skill can exert the power of a higher level.

"World God and Primordial Annihilation, this combination of Divine Skills must have an artifact set to exert a higher level of power. A single artifact is really not very useful..."

Lin Qing was also a little helpless.

If it is just a basic artifact, he can only turn one of the Divine Skills that make up the World God into a secret pattern and imprint it on the artifact.

Even if the fit between the Divine Skill and the artifact is nearly 100%, and it is only raised by one level, it will only exert the power comparable to the complete World God, which is naturally of little use to him.

Unless there is a set of artifact sets suitable for exerting the World God, his strength can be raised to another level.

"It's not bad for disguising identity..."

Lin Qing thought secretly, "In the Void Sea, there are probably not a few people who can afford to have a Star God refine artifacts, especially Void creatures. Only Tier 1 civilizations like the Nine Star Civilization have no chance to get artifacts at all..."

He glanced at the ancestor of the Nine Star Civilization in another space-time cage, not in a hurry to go in.

The Black Flame clone has not returned yet, and his current strength is not sure to kill the Nine Star Ancestor.

After all, the Nine Star Ancestor has the strength of the top of the eleventh level. Only when the Black Flame clone merges and burns can he have a certain degree of certainty to kill him.

"Let's help Qi Lingxiao and the others improve their authority first..."

Lin Qing's heart moved, and he took a step and immediately came to another sealed space-time cage.

In this space-time cage, the five princes who came with the Nine Star Emperor were suppressed when the Nine Star Civilization was wiped out.

As the princes of the Nine Star Civilization, each prince has the authority of the ninth energy level.

"You are... Lin Qing?"

These five princes are all Star Divines, with the strength of the ninth level of Star Abyss. When they saw Lin Qing at this time, they couldn't help but feel a little frightened.

In the space-time cage, Lin Qing's Star God aura completely permeated, and the powerful life aura completely enveloped everyone present with its pressure.

"Boom!"

Even more, a vast river like dark golden blood surged, wantonly washing everything in the space-time cage. No matter whether the five princes used defensive Divine Skills or used life-saving treasures, they could not resist the penetration and erosion of the river water.

In an instant, the Divine Skill 'Mother River Blood' completely filled the entire space-time cage.

Even if it is just the power of a single Divine Skill, it is far beyond the upper limit of what these princes can bear.

Therefore, in just a blink of an eye, the five princes were completely penetrated by the dark gold Mother River Blood into their bodies and minds.

"Give you a chance to live."

Lin Qing stood in the air, overlooking the nameless princes below, and said coldly, "Sign the contract, agree to my request, and I will allow you to live."

At this time, these five princes could not even commit suicide, and could only lower their heads and agree.

Lin Qing's mind moved, and with the help of the space-time power of the Vacuum Tomb, he moved Qi Lingxiao over.

"Hall Master Qi, please wait a moment, I will first let these people awaken their authority. If there is authority that can be awakened with more than 38,000 kilograms of Starry Sky Source Stone, I will transfer its authority origin to you."

After the telepathic transmission, Lin Qing took out the Starry Sky Source Stone he had prepared before and handed it over to one of the princes to awaken his authority.

In addition to the remaining Starry Sky Source Stone borrowed from the Vacuum Tomb, during the more than 1,000 years he spent in the Vacuum Tomb, in addition to the 1,000-year Starry Sky Source Stone used to repay the debt, he also accumulated more than 200,000 kilograms of the remaining 300-year Starry Sky Source Stone.

It is more than enough to carry out the awakening of the ninth energy level authority.

As long as Qi Lingxiao's authority reaches the standard of 38,000 kilograms, he can enter the Vacuum Tomb and hope to become a tomb keeper in the future!

As the princes awakened their authority one by one, Lin Qing couldn't help but frown slightly.

"How come none of them reached the standard of 38,000 kilograms of Star Origin Stones?"

Lin Qing tirelessly attempted to awaken the power of each prince, figuring that even if they didn't reach 38,000 kilograms, the stones could still be used to enhance the talents of others.

It wasn't until the fifth prince successfully awakened that—

"47,850 kilograms of Star Origin Stones are required for awakening?"

Lin Qing couldn't help but smile.
