Chapter 314: 159, Zhao Jiayi’s Secret_3

She slowly closed her eyes: “I am simply not worthy of being her mother…”

Lin Qing couldn’t help but glance at Chu Hongjun.

Chu Hongjun’s expression was calm; he said indifferently: “Irenado, for the sake of you and Qi Lingxiao, I have preserved their dignity and lives.”

He paused, “Nonetheless, my words remain the same. If you want to take revenge on me, wait until Earth is safe. My life still has use.”

Irenado was silent for a moment, then said in a low voice: “As a mother, I cannot forgive you, but as Earth’s leader, I do not blame you… You were only trying to study the relationship between Intelligent Star and Three-eyed Clan.”

Lin Qing had heard this from Zhao Jiayi.

She had always lived in a large cage, could only see the stars through a one-way roof window, and couldn’t do anything else.

Although Zhao Jiayi was reluctant to say more, it was evident that she had hardly interacted with anyone other than her father, probably only with some researchers…

“But, how did Intelligent Star know about Jiayi’s existence?” Lin Qing suddenly asked.

Given that Zhao Jiayi’s father was rescued by Qi Lingxiao and Jiayi was born on Earth, how would Intelligent Star know?

—-Irenado had also said that he stole the most precious opportunity from Intelligent Star, clearly indicating that Intelligent Star was aware of Zhao Jiayi’s existence.

“Because…”

Irenado sighed and said: “Intelligent Star has a Life Scholar who is a Star-level Clergy. Through any Three-eyed Clan member, he can detect the distribution of bloodlines across the entire clan. He surely knows… A Three-eyed Clan genius with innate Ninth Energy Level Power has been born.”

She looked at Lin Qing and said slowly: “That person is Jiayi.”

Lin Qing was unsurprised; he had long anticipated this through Zhao Jiayi’s Authority.

Gate of Boundless.

This seemed to be a space ability.

No matter the faction, the first eight energy levels do not involve space; only the Ninth Energy Level Power, which surpasses Earth’s scope, touches upon space.

For example, his Life System Authority, the Eternal Apostle also has utilization of space. Judging by the number of Source Stones, it should be Tenth Energy Level.

“You are calm.”

Irenado was a bit surprised and asked Lin Qing softly: “You are about to gain Ninth Energy Level Power. Do you not feel excited or exhilarated?”

Lin Qing was silent for a moment and said: “It is obtained by using your daughter’s life as nourishment, Miss Irenado. Do you rejoice at having gained Jiayi’s father’s eyes?”

Irenado was slightly startled.

She remained silent for a long while before slowly sighing: “Jiayi certainly didn’t choose the wrong person…”

Qi Lingxiao also laughed: “Good lad, I like people like you. I’ve said it.”

Chu Hongjun glanced at Lin Qing, a thoughtful expression passing through his eyes.

Lin Qing shook his head without saying anything.

In fact, he already had the Eternal Apostle at Tenth Energy Level. He didn’t want Zhao Jiayi’s third eye at all, nor did he wish her life to be sacrificed to nourish it.

For those he didn’t care about, he wouldn’t mind if they died regardless of number.

But for those he cared about, he would place high importance.

“Still…” Lin Qing took a deep breath and said: “Does Intelligent Star already know about the Three-eyed Clan’s Ninth Energy Level talent on Earth?”

“Yes.”

Qi Lingxiao said: “That Life Scholar with Star-level Divine Position has surely confirmed through the Three-eyed Clan bloodline distribution that the Ninth Energy Level genius is on Earth.”

He smiled, “However, before any life planet connects to the stars, it gains protection from cosmic regulations. Before Earth connects to the stars, Star Creatures absolutely cannot approach Earth. Therefore, he cannot determine who exactly it is.”

Lin Qing was suddenly enlightened.

No wonder…

Even though the Yuan Chen Civilization of Intelligent Star is so powerful and is aware of Earth’s importance, they haven’t sent top-tier Star-level Clergy to Earth.

Turns out… Star Creatures can’t enter?

“Is the Ninth Energy Level power very important to Intelligent Star?” Lin Qing asked.

He had personal experience.

Although his Black Flame Clone could prematurely wield Eighth Energy Level Power, it was not very effective. As its strength grew, the Eighth Energy Level Black Flame Power became increasingly strong.

Without reaching that life level, it’s impossible to truly activate its power.

“Naturally very important.”

Qi Lingxiao said: “The Yuan Chen Civilization likely doesn’t have even one Ninth Energy Level user; how could they not yearn for it?”

Lin Qing mused, “Could Star Creatures live very long? Even if they can’t sense the Ninth Energy Level power, couldn’t they promote life evolution by performing their divine duties?”

Qi Lingxiao couldn’t help but laugh upon hearing this.

He shook his head and asked: “Lin Qing, it seems you haven’t practiced your divine duties much, right? Definitely haven’t promoted evolution even once?”

“Yes.” Lin Qing nodded slightly.

His divine position as Commander had only killed people in the Second Cosmic Net, not in reality.

And while his Black Flame Clone had killed, besides that Upper Minister, it only killed a bunch of non-divine Original Life Forms whose souls couldn’t invoke Star Abyss’s favor, rendering Soul Sacrifice ineffective.

“No wonder.”

Qi Lingxiao said: “As long as you practice your divine duties significantly, like leveling up in a game, once the experience bar is full, the divine position will offer you an evolution opportunity.”

“This evolution opportunity lets you temporarily experience a higher energy level life form evolution, specifically suited for you.”
