Chapter 306: 157. Captive Sky Track Monarch_2

Lin Qing was silent, understanding his meaning.

“No matter how powerful, we must always maintain reverence for the universe.”

The black-haired man said softly: “Even the two universally recognized most powerful civilizations, the Void Divine Race and the Star Abyss Demon Clan, have things they need to fear and respect.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly, then curiously asked: “What level are these two civilizations at?”

“Level Four.” The black-haired man said softly.

Lin Qing suddenly understood.

“Don’t be confused by this numerical level.” The black-haired man said, “A difference of one level is like a difference in dimensions. Is there any comparability between three-dimensional and two-dimensional?”

He shook his head and said: “It’s like your Earth civilization, you can’t even observe the level one civilizations in the universe. Even though the Milky Way has hundreds of thousands of life stars, you still can’t confirm the existence of other civilizations in the universe.”

Lin Qing slowly nodded, understanding his meaning in his heart.

A difference of one level in civilization means not even being able to observe or understand the higher level, which is completely normal.

But thinking the other way around… higher civilizations probably can study lower civilizations thoroughly, just like humans observing and studying ants.

“Earth is very weak, the treasure of the Primordial Realm is your only chance.”

The black-haired man glanced at Lin Qing, “Work hard, seeing as you do have a slight chance, I’ve said quite a bit.”

Lin Qing slowly nodded and said: “Thank you, senior.”

“Alright, go learn this divine skill.” The black-haired man casually waved his sleeve, sending Lin Qing out of the sky island.

Hovering in the night sky, Lin Qing didn’t hesitate and directly flew towards the 99999th sky island to learn the second divine skill.

The 99999th sky island is exactly the lower-level sky island dedicated to the inheritance of divine skills.

…

Before long, when Lin Qing had flown all the way to the 99999th sky island over the Pacific Ocean, it was a bright sunny day over the Pacific Ocean.

Although the outside of the island was empty, as he approached, a phantom figure condensed out of thin air.

It was a female Intelligent Star Person with a vertical eye on her forehead, beautiful in appearance, noble in temperament, and that vertical eye on her forehead radiated purple light, making her look like a deity.

She emitted a terrifying aura, and at the moment she appeared, Lin Qing felt a life instinctive pressure.

Absolutely a star creature!

Lin Qing had seen high-level original creatures before, and due to the Black Flame clone, his consciousness was at the original creature level. However, the pressure from this female Intelligent Star Person was far beyond high-level original creatures, evidently a star creature!

“Earth person, did you receive the divine skill inheritance?” The female Intelligent Star Person with three eyes looked at Lin Qing with a calm gaze.

Before Lin Qing could speak, a figure condensed out of thin air, appearing between him and the three-eyed female Intelligent Star Person, blocking in front of him.

It was Qi Lingxiao!

“Crenwell.”

Qi Lingxiao lazily said: “What are you planning to do? Interfere with the treasure hunt?”

The three-eyed female Intelligent Star Person, called Crenwell, frowned slightly and floated back a bit before saying: “Master Qi, I was just curious and wanted to ask.”

“What is there to ask?” Qi Lingxiao countered: “Can’t Earth produce geniuses free from your control?”

“Geniuses are fine.”

Crenwell glanced at Lin Qing and said: “But I observed the sky islands this Earth person entered; all of them had Holy Text inheritances suitable for him, and even divine skill inheritance from the Commander of Arms. It’s not surprising this Earth person has this ability, but…”

Her gaze turned cold, “All intelligence regarding the Celestial Vault Islands is strictly confidential. Where did his information come from?”

Qi Lingxiao laughed and asked: “Guess who told him?”

“Hmm?”

Upon hearing this, Crenwell’s expression changed slightly: “Are you implying… one of you three has already tried? The contract’s limits are broken?”

Qi Lingxiao only smiled, silently gazing at her.

Crenwell was silent for a moment, then glanced at Lin Qing before disappearing without a trace.

“Master.” Lin Qing spoke up.

Qi Lingxiao turned around, smiling at him, and said: “Don’t worry too much. From today, they won’t dare to suppress you deliberately anymore, at least… until Earth officially connects with the stars, they might just test you with ulterior motives.”

At the same time, a familiar and gentle telekinesis transmission sounded:

“Do not reveal Jiayi’s special nature, you will see her when you come to the urban circle.”

Lin Qing immediately responded with telekinesis: “Yes, Miss Irenado.”

“Go ahead.” Qi Lingxiao smiled.

“Yes.”

Lin Qing nodded slightly, then immediately flew towards the 99999th sky island.

He vaguely guessed what Qi Lingxiao had hinted at.

Perhaps…

The contract signed between Qi Lingxiao’s trio and the extraterrestrial civilization, once a certain condition is met, the contract’s restrictions become invalid?

Zhao Jiayi’s abilities led her to obtain highly confidential information, and because he knew the information, the Intelligent Star People naturally suspected someone leaked it.

But such contracts usually include clauses of [not disclosing any secrets].

Normally, the contract would have no loopholes.

Thus, it can only be that the contract lost its restraining effect on someone, such as… upon meeting certain conditions, revealing these secrets becomes allowed?

“Miss Irenado used Jiayi’s special nature to make the Intelligent Star Group believe one of the three had gained freedom?” Lin Qing speculated.

As thoughts fluctuated, he had already flown into the white fog of the 99999th sky island.

…

The 99999th sky island was also the ninth sky island Lin Qing explored.

This sky island spanned almost a hundred kilometers.

One could see large and small palaces standing in the island, their construction materials and styles varying, some looked magnificent and grand, while others looked ordinary.

Upon entering the sky island, Lin Qing immediately felt a strange summoning sensation originating from one of the palaces.

Without hesitation, he followed the sensation.

Soon, Lin Qing found a large black palace, looking silent and deadly with a dignified and solemn aura.

As he approached, the palace doors opened automatically.

The palace was empty, only a handsome man with long blood-red hair stood inside, wearing no clothes, just wrapped in circles of black cloth, enhancing his mysterious aura and emanating a formidable pressure through the entire palace.

The strong summoning sensation came from the blood-red-haired man.

“Someone?”

Lin Qing initially thought he was a living person, but the blood-red-haired man didn’t look at him, remaining motionless like a lifelike statue.

While guessing in his heart, he followed the ever-stronger sensation.

When Lin Qing approached within ten meters of the statue-like blood-red-haired man, the man’s amber eyes moved slightly, glancing at him.

Two beams of light shot from his eyes into Lin Qing’s.

In a trance, Lin Qing heard a cold, indifferent voice in his head.

“Swear with me.”

“I hereby swear to the great Life System Cosmic God that I will never disclose what I’ve learned.”

Under the terrifying pressure, Lin Qing involuntarily repeated the words, slowly taking the oath.

At the end of the oath, his vision blurred, seeing the same bright lights from his Power Awakening, with each light forming a double helix staircase.

The scene vanished, and information flooded into his mind.

On a silver-white platform, the blood-red-haired man stood on the open silver-white ground, saying: “Next, I will demonstrate the basics of this second divine skill in this attached space.”

He instructed as if commanding an AI: “Limit my power to the standard original life level, basic Divine Position of Commander, with no Holy Text.”

The blood-red-haired man’s aura suddenly lowered, weaker than Black Flame.

Then, he coldly said: “Arrange a hundred standard high-level original creatures as opponents, with Divine’s Messenger as their Divine Position, randomly adding basic rare divine positions, mainly offensive, without Holy Text and divine skill.”

Lin Qing was stunned.
