Fa.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time it was again booked in units of ten years, and with the dozens of free observations gifted by the original tower, he could observe for much longer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He spent another large sum of cultivation points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But this was a necessary expense.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had three hundred years to cultivate slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he couldn’t fully master the fifth true meaning of space law, he could greatly enhance his combat power.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While waiting, he opened another document sent to him by Lord Kongming.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was a detailed investigation dossier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It recorded the entire life of the Dread King, including every scripture, secret technique, and cultivation method he had ever practiced throughout his growth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was extremely thorough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi couldn’t help but marvel at how powerful human intelligence networks still were.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Anything could be found.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If you wanted to find something, nothing was beyond reach—it only depended on whether they cared to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And with the power of the Supreme Beings, they could even resurrect someone from the river of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Gathering a little intelligence was effortless for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They simply might not have wanted to look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that he had identified the Dread King as his target, the Dread King had only two possible fates.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Either he would severely injure Lin Qi and escape successfully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Or he would be killed by Lin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>There was no third path.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi quickly skimmed through the dossier, starting from the Dread King’s childhood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But there wasn’t much here—most of it was briefly mentioned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>However, after the Dread King entered the Primordial Sacred Ground following the Deep Space Talent Competition, the details became abundant.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi’s expression began to change.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Especially after the Dread King reached the Fifth Cosmic Realm and returned to his homeworld, claiming three star systems as his territory, where deities arose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He then unleashed waves of bloodshed and terror.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because of his breakthrough, his family rose to power overnight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But as his family ascended, the three star systems began to suffer.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Murder, plunder, and extermination of entire families were countless.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Someone merely posted a single critical comment online—and their entire family was wiped out by the Dread King’s clan.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Cases like these were too numerous to count.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Some factions had confronted the Dread King—but all of them vanished.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Because the one behind them was the Dread King himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He ruled the entire star system like a tyrant, a local emperor.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He did whatever he pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if someone appealed to the Deep Space Academy, they would mysteriously disappear.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he read on, the crimes committed by the Dread King’s family were too heinous to record fully.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi’s eyes widened, and a surge of nameless rage rose in his heart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The dossier revealed that thousands of years ago, the Dread King, out of boredom, captured hundreds of billions of ordinary people from newly discovered life-bearing planets and transported them all to a single planet.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Those with high cultivation were sold into the Cosmic Arena as slaves.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The weak were forced onto the planet to participate in the Dread Trials.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The trial’s rule: everyone on the planet must kill each other until only ten million remained.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hundreds of billions of lives perished in it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was because of this that the Dread King’s sins crossed the line.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Too many had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if he hadn’t killed them himself, he had organized it all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dread King probably thought that as long as he kept silent, the Deep Space Academy would never know.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Deep Space Academy knew everything about this incident.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was why the Deep Space Academy had now decided to eliminate him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And now, the task of eliminating him had fallen to Lin Qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi stared at the dossier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He suddenly remembered the nightmare vision he had experienced when consuming Nightmare Crystals.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was nearly identical to this scene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although there was no Corpse Demon King, the Dread King was no different from him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And he had done even worse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was like the combined embodiment of every enemy in countless nightmares.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Indeed, environments were illusions—reality was always more nightmarish than any nightmare.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He felt only a fierce, burning rage—such a being must be eradicated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Truly deserving of death!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi exhaled slowly, calming himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Dread King’s crimes were too numerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he now understood the existence of the Fifth Cosmic Realm, the Deep Space Academy would not act against them unless their sins reached a certain threshold.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the Dread King had now reached the absolute limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since he had chosen the Dread King as his target, he would kill him without fail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a mad, monstrous being should not exist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin Qi rose slowly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He needed to prepare thoroughly—once the artifact was forged, he would depart immediately.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Such a being, even one extra day of life, was a curse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he walked slowly beneath the Void Tree and began his cultivation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had to hurry.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In these three hundred years, he would raise his cultivation as much as possible.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he had his own trump card.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That was the Eye of Heaven—once activated, he was confident he could obliterate the Dread King.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But it was his secret—he refused to reveal it before others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After over a thousand years of accumulation, the energy within the Eye of Heaven had rebuilt itself, now even more vast and potent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Space Divine Light he now unleashed would be far stronger than before.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking of this, he pulled out Volume Five of the Book of Void and began his contemplation.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>……\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six days later, Suolan arrived.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He delivered the purchased Void-Blocking Ring.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Beneath the Void Tree, Lin Qi stared at the black metal box before him and slowly opened it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside lay a silver ring embedded in the casing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shaped like a bracelet, it emitted a silver glow, its surface covered with liquid-like silver patterns flowing continuously.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>An invisible force drew Lin Qi toward it.\u003C\u002Fp>",1003,"2026-06-20T20:27:49.107Z",1,"Qwen3-Next
