Chapter 142: Eternity!

At this moment, as inexplicable information surged into his mind, Lin Qing also understood how to awaken the authority of 'Eternal Divided Soul'.

It was actually very simple.

All he needed to do was pay 864,755 thousand kilograms of Starlight Source Stones as the awakening price.

"Very good."

Lin Qing rubbed his temples and muttered to himself: "I'm not paying it back..."

The next moment—

"Boom!!"

A roar emanating from the depths of his soul suddenly erupted; he saw boundless, pure radiance streaking through the darkness like a meteor shower, every beam of light forming a double-helix staircase structure, while the end of the endless rain of light was a sea of brilliance so dazzling it was blinding.

The target of the endless radiance was him; every beam of light landed precisely upon his body.

Or rather... upon his soul.

Within this grand spectacle visible only to Lin Qing, he felt his soul absorbing beam after beam of pure light, trembling and roaring without cease.

At this moment, some wondrous change seemed to occur that he himself could neither describe nor explain.

After a long while.

The soul-shaking spectacle slowly vanished without a trace, and everything returned to normal.

As if it had merely been an illusion.

"Authority..."

Lin Qing slowly opened his eyes, and a strange message that was neither text nor language surfaced in his mind.

This message was an introduction to his authority.

"Eternal Divided Soul?"

Lin Qing murmured and closed his eyes again.

Under the perception of his will, his consciousness immediately 'saw' the interior of his sea of consciousness, where a light gate was floating.

According to the message, this was a Gate of Eternity.

Any living being he selected, once dead, would have its soul enter the Gate of Eternity to obtain rebirth, and then transform into an 'Eternal Divided Soul' similar to his external manifestation.

The consciousness of the manifestation was his consciousness, just like his limbs, as if it were a part of him.

Even if the divided soul's spirit scattered into nothingness, it would still be reborn within the Gate of Eternity!

As long as he, the master of this Gate of Eternity, was still alive, causing the divided soul to be reborn was merely a matter of consuming more energy and time as a price.

Awakening Living Being Level: Possess one Gate of Eternity.

Primal Living Being Level: Possess two Gates of Eternity.

For every level his life rose, he could gain one additional Gate of Eternity.

Of course, the Eternal Divided Souls that the Gate of Eternity could summon were limited to living beings of the same rank as himself.

This was the authority's first ability.

And the second ability—

The divided soul's consciousness was his consciousness; no matter how far apart they were, the entangled connection of consciousness would not change, so the Gate of Eternity connected to consciousness also existed within the divided soul's mind.

As long as a divided soul was still alive, he, the master, could also be reborn from any Gate of Eternity.

Even if his physical body rotted and died from old age, he could still be reborn from the Gate of Eternity, restoring his life to its peak state.

Even if his soul scattered, his consciousness could still recondense a soul through the Gate of Eternity!

Only when his consciousness scattered would he truly die.

That is to say, to kill him, one must kill him and all his divided souls; only when his consciousness loses its support and scatters will he truly die.

Or else, his consciousness simply cannot withstand the scouring of time and naturally dissipates over a vast span of time.

"Immortality?"

Perceiving his authority, Lin Qing couldn't help but freeze in place.

Unless an extremely long span of time caused his consciousness to be scoured away by time until it dissipated, as long as he possessed one divided soul, he was already nearly immortal!

"As long as I don't actively seek death, I won't die, at the very least."

At this moment, Lin Qing felt a sense of security.

This authority was simply too heaven-defying; even without discussing the divided souls, the mere ability to be reborn from the Gate of Eternity was already enough to be incredible.

"For me, only an extremely long span of time can prepay for a sufficiently vast future..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, calming the agitation and shock within his heart.

Although this wasted one prepayment slot, let alone wasting one, even if he wasted two prepayment slots, he would not hesitate for a single instant!

With an extremely long span of time, as long as he continued to move forward slowly, there would come a day when he could repay these eight hundred-plus tons of Starlight Source Stones.

Besides...

What if he couldn't repay it?

At worst, he wouldn't repay it!

"An authority worth eight hundred tons, what energy level of Life-System power does this correspond to?"

"My Life-System authority level is inexplicably high, and it seems to fit very well with the Entropy-Reverser? Order, Life... are they just the Xiangjin Faction? Why does it feel like my authority is almost like a companion born alongside..."

Lin Qing couldn't help but guess silently in his heart.

The sixth energy level of authority was the lowest; it required only a few dozen kilograms of Starlight Source Stones to awaken.

Qi Lingxiao's authority awakening required 2,740 kilograms of Starlight Source Stones, and Chu Hongjun required 7,512 kilograms of Starlight Source Stones; the power levels of the Liuda Sect corresponding to these two individuals' authorities seemed already very high.

Yi Leina Duo's authority awakening required 34,051 kilograms of Starlight Source Stones, which was even higher to the point of being incredible, to the extent that even Earth did not possess power of this energy level.

And the authority he needed over eight hundred thousand kilograms of Starlight Source Stones to awaken, what energy level did it correspond to?

"After the authority awakens, one can indeed sense the power of the corresponding energy level, but..."

Lin Qing silently sensed that faint, otherworldly summons, separated by an unknown and vast distance, and could not help but feel somewhat stunned.

It felt to him as if it were separated by an endless, remote world.

"Just how far the hell is this..."

Regarding the talent of the soul to sense high-level power, the data explained that—as long as the power level existed on Earth, careful sensing would make it feel as if it were everywhere.

Because the Planet Consciousness actively gathered the infinite power of the six major factions' high levels, sensing it naturally produced this feeling within the planet.

"If the sensing is this vague... how is fusion possible?"

Lin Qing could not help but feel somewhat helpless. "Moreover, this kind of power does not exist on Earth at all, and there is no way to fuse with the Earth Consciousness..."

He was now in the same situation as Yi Leina Duo; because his authority level was absurdly high, there was simply no corresponding power level on Earth.

"However..."

Lin Qing suddenly felt curious: "How did Yi Leina Duo solve it?"

He was considering whether, after entering the Twilight Paradise again at the end of the month, he should ask a friend on his behalf.

However, he had actually thought of a solution himself now.

It was also very simple.

As long as he found a genius capable of sensing the sixth power level, and after that genius died became his Eternal Sub-soul, his consciousness would be the consciousness of the Eternal Sub-soul.

And since the soul, flesh, and telekinesis were exactly the same as the original, he would naturally be able to sense the sixth power level!

Flesh, spirit, and soul, from the outside in, constituted life, but the most fundamental aspect was consciousness.

"Right now, there is the best candidate."

A name suddenly flashed through Lin Qing's mind: "Yan. Not only can he sense the power 'Black Flame' that surpasses the sixth power level, but he can even use that power!"

According to Chen Guang, even the Intelligent Star People would rarely encounter a special race like Yan, who could naturally use power surpassing the sixth level from birth!

After Dr. Chu Hui discovered Yan's existence, he did not dare to reveal it at all.

Moreover, Dr. Chu Hui's death seemed to be related to Yan.

"If Yan could become an Eternal Sub-soul..."

At this moment, various thoughts instantly floated up in Lin Qing's mind.

The reason Yan had a short life was due to that terrifying Black Flame.

And if he made Yan become an Eternal Sub-soul after death, then Yan could use that Black Flame with complete impunity!

This was not just an explosion of combat power.

The key was... that Black Flame greatly improved comprehension and cultivation!

For battle techniques his comprehension could not learn, he could simply let Yan sacrifice his life to boost comprehension, helping him grasp the basics; Yan's comprehension would be his comprehension!

Originally, with his aptitude, his ultimate achievement was limited; even if he transformed to the Primitive Level, he could only have a chance through the most troublesome, clumsy method.

In the future, as the levels grew higher and higher, who knew how many difficulties and obstacles would arise.

Once he encountered a bottleneck that even the clumsy method could not overcome, if his talent meant it was forever impossible to achieve, he would have no way to prepare in advance, and that would be the end.

But now, it was different.

His upper limit, due to the authority of the Eternal Sub-soul, had already increased by an unknown number of times compared to the past!

"Among awakened beings, no one is more suitable as a sub-soul target than Yan..."

Lin Qing took a deep breath, but still temporarily suppressed the thought of immediately going to the Forbidden Zone to find Yan.

It had already been one day since Yan slaughtered the Council in the Forbidden Zone yesterday.

If Yan was already dead, it would be too late for him to go now.

"First, I must confirm Yan's situation... changing to a new sub-soul for the Gate of Eternity also requires a considerable price; it cannot be changed recklessly..."

"Hmm..."

"First, check the Gate of Authority in the Star-Transmitting Tower, then see if there are any new changes in the Divine Office."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, and immediately let his consciousness sink into the Star-Transmitting Tower within his body.

Inside the vast world of clouds and mist.

Before the intersection of a three-way path, a figure in white robes suddenly condensed and appeared here.

Looking at the three forked paths ahead, Lin Qing did not hesitate and immediately walked toward the leftmost small path.

The middle path led to the Gate of Genes, the right path led to the Gate of Telekinesis, and this newly appeared left path was naturally the Gate of Authority.

Moving rapidly along the small path, a massive stone gate that seemed to divide heaven and earth soon appeared ahead; the ancient and magnificent door was tightly closed, standing silently in this world.

Two huge characters were visible on the door.

【Authority】

At this time, a streak of flowing light descended from the sky, transforming into Chen Guang.

"Master, has your authority awakened?"

Chen Guang looked at Lin Qing; although she was a three-no entity with no face and no expression, her shock could still be detected from her words.

If Chen Guang were not an intelligent life form that obeyed orders and would absolutely never betray, Lin Qing would not have dared to let her know so many things.

"Hmm, it has awakened." Lin Qing nodded slightly.

"This is an authority awakening." Chen Guang looked at Lin Qing. "Master, why are you acting as if you just woke up, with no reaction at all?"

"I have already reacted."

Looking at the massive Gate of Authority before him, Lin Qing said, "What does it rely on to open the Gate of Authority?"

Opening the Gate of Genes relies on physical strength.

Opening the Gate of Telekinesis relies on mental telekinesis.

"The key lies in 'Authority'."

Chen Guang said: "Master, as long as you try to sense the power corresponding to your ability, your will will imbue itself with the immense authority of that high-level power; only then, when this Gate of Ability senses it, might you open it with your own strength."

Lin Qing suddenly understood and asked: "Does the Gate of Ability have no combat techniques or secret arts?"

"No."

Chen Guang shook her head. "However, any master of the Star Transmission Tower who awakens an Ability and reaches the summit will eventually learn a priceless secret transmission atop the peak."

"Secret transmission?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

"Yes, extremely precious," Chen Guang said. "It offers little boost to combat power, but Master, with this secret transmission, you can rise in the universe, amass wealth, and become very rich."

"Very rich?" Lin Qing didn't understand.

But this was a matter for the future; worrying about it now was useless.

"Will..."

Lin Qing closed his eyes, immediately following that faint sensation, then suddenly opened them and stared at the massive gate before him.

He was about to step forward and push the gate—

"Boom!"

The next instant, the colossal stone gate, towering as if piercing the heavens, seemed to sense something—before he even moved, the two doors began to shift on their own and burst open with a thunderous crash!

Lin Qing froze slightly.

Chen Guang also stared blankly for a moment before speaking: "The Gate of Ability sensed your will and opened on its own?"

She fell silent for a moment, then whispered: "It seems your Ability rank is at least at Yi Leina Duo's level?"

Lin Qing smiled but said nothing.

Chen Guang naturally assumed he had awakened his Ability by pure, negligible luck.

Although in the entire Yuan Chen civilization of the Zhi Star people, spanning hundreds of thousands of years, no case of natural Ability awakening had ever occurred, when scaled to the broader universe and longer time spans, such an event was still possible.

He certainly wouldn't voluntarily explain he had another method.

"Does this path also lead to Shanfeng?"

Lin Qing studied the path behind the Gate of Ability and asked.

"Yes."

Chen Guang nodded. "All three paths converge at the mid-slope of the mountain during your second trial, but the Ability path has greater advantages—it offers nothing to learn in the early stage and leads straight to the second trial."

Lin Qing understood.

He immediately moved swiftly along the path, and soon saw a winding mountain trail.

After traveling further, Lin Qing indeed saw the platform where he had previously undergone the trial; countless stone statues of soldiers stood silently there.

At that moment—

"Boom!"

Following a thunderous roar, the endless clouds and mist in the sky instantly vanished, revealing a dark yet brilliant starry sky.

"Even louder than last time!"

Lin Qing looked up, his hopes rising.

With such a powerful Ability awakened, shouldn't there be a stronger rare divine office?

At this moment, all the stars in the sky moved at astonishing speed; when the starry expanse above finally stabilized, countless stars formed lines of massive characters.

【Detected Talent Ability, Basic Qualities, Composite Index, Personal Traits...】

【Basic-level Divine Office 'Divine Walker' requirements now met!】

【Detected that the planetary region's Divine Office 'Divine Walker' remains hidden; you may proceed independently to unlock the hidden trial!】

【Note: Once the trial is unlocked, it can never be restored. Each perfect-level life planet has only one opportunity—please cherish it.】

【Predicted success rate: 37.1%】 "Divine Walker?"

Lin Qing frowned: "Hidden state? Isn't this a rare divine office? Why is the success rate only 37.1%?"

Chen Guang stared blankly at the sky, silent for a long while, then said: "Master, it seems your Ability bonus is too extreme—this is a hidden divine office; rarer than even the rare divine offices with only one slot."

"Hidden divine office?" Lin Qing raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Master."

Chen Guang said: "All life planets produce rare divine offices; only high-grade life planets may produce rare divine offices with a single slot, but such slot consumption can theoretically be restored—though it is extremely difficult."

She gazed up at the stars' characters. "But only perfect-level life planets like Earth produce hidden divine offices—single slot, irreversible."

"So hidden divine offices are stronger."

Lin Qing shook his head. "But the success rate is too low. Since my mental force improved, I've had nearly 90% success rate on the 'Master of Troops' trial—how can 'Divine Walker' be only 37%?"

"It's a hidden divine office," Chen Guang said. "Master, if you don't have enough confidence, don't attempt it. This is your only chance—it may be even more precious than Earth's treasures."

!.

"Oh?"

Lin Qing nodded slightly. "If I can't secure the office before the end of this year, I'll just give up this year's chance to explore the treasure."

His current room for growth is still substantial.

Leaving aside mental force.

If he could obtain a powerful Eternal Split-Soul—like Hei Yan, someone who could instantly kill dozens of Patrol Enforcers and two rare divine office wielders—his enhancement would be unimaginable.

Theoretically, the Eternal Split-Soul is also part of his own strength and should be usable to pass divine office trials.

"Divine Walker..."

Lin Qing glanced at the thousand-soldier stone statues on the platform, chose not to challenge it, and merely said to Chen Guang: "Come out and help me."

He then left the Star Transmission Tower space.

Although his mental force had improved significantly, he still lacked sufficient confidence to pass the second trial.

Now that he had confirmed a new divine office, he could abandon the 'Master of Troops.'

We should confirm Yan's condition as soon as possible.

……

"What does my lord want me to do?"

After returning to reality, Chen Guang also flew out.

Lin Qing paused, then said: "Contact Boss Chu Hui's AI lifeform for me. Tell him that if Yan is still alive, there's a way to keep him alive."

"Contact Boss?" Chen Guang looked at Lin Qing in surprise. "Can my lord save Yan?"

"My authority has never been used. Though I can't make him live as he did before, at least I can keep him from dying," Lin Qing said slowly.

He paused, looking at Chen Guang: "If your theory is correct, Boss knows the Star Transmission Tower is beneath the research facility in Lin'an City. Recently, under your guidance, I found the experimental base inside the snowy mountains. He should already suspect I possess the Star Transmission Tower."

Chen Guang nodded slightly. "With Boss's computational power, combining these pieces of information, he must suspect you."

"He clearly suspects me."

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes. "But for all these days, the Original Research Institute has been killing geniuses funded by Star Star Group—yet not one of them has targeted me. Tang Wanqiu hasn't even had a chance to act."

"My lord, Boss is deeply loyal to your father," Chen Guang said. "You inherited your father's Star Transmission Tower—you're his successor, and you're part of the Autonomous Faction. Actually, back at the experimental base, I wanted to say: if Boss confirms it's you, logically, he wouldn't move against you."

"How many people has this Boss of yours killed?" Lin Qing shook his head slightly. "I won't risk my safety on his momentary mercy."

He whispered: "Tell Boss I won't approach them. Have them go to the designated location and wait for me."

Chen Guang nodded slightly. "Then I'll first contact Boss through your father's hidden communicator and confirm the situation before deciding."

Lin Qing grunted.

Is becoming an eternal fragment-soul even saving?

That depends on whose perspective you take.

……

Twenty minutes later.

"Yan is dying—he can only last about three days?"

After hearing Chen Guang's summary, Lin Qing mused: "Whether true or false, the three-day timeframe is likely real."

"Yan is dying—that's definitely true," Chen Guang said. "We just don't know how much power he has left."

"Since they're still in the Divine Office Forbidden Zone, there's still a chance."

Lin Qing spoke calmly: "We still have a few days. Star Star Group no longer dares send anyone into the Forbidden Zone to kill Yan—they've realized Yan won't kill Autonomous Faction inspectors. Now they only dare let inspectors lead teams inside to search."

Yesterday, under Yan's massive slaughter, not only did thirty directors and the director-general die, but the key Earth-born Star Star Group genius also perished.

Such rare Divine Office geniuses play a crucial role in exploring Earth's treasures—now he's dead.

The high-ranking official in Star Star Group who issued this order probably regrets it to the core.

But what can Star Star Group do?

Not wanting to sacrifice their own people, they can only send inspectors from Headquarters to search.

After all, it's a forbidden zone for obtaining Original-level Divine Offices—anyone without an Original-level Divine Office may enter freely, and below Original Beings, no one can trigger the trial.

Even if they trigger it, it's just a waste of a slot. Even among Original Beings, only the absolute top tier have a chance to obtain an Original-level Divine Office.

"Perfect. Headquarters is selecting candidates now—I'll ask Director Xu to enroll me."

……

……

In the night sky, a jet-black medium-sized fighter jet, traveling at nearly ten times the speed of sound, sliced through the stars and shot straight upward.

Inside the cabin, the atmosphere was tense and solemn; elite inspectors from Headquarters sat silently in their seats, clearly uninterested in conversation.

"Everyone."

A blond-haired man rose from the front row, turned to face the elite inspectors, and said: "In ten minutes, we'll reach the vicinity of the Second Forbidden Zone. I'll restate our mission."

"Remember, you're not here to fight—only to search for remnants of the Original Research Institute and confirm their status."

The blond-haired man smiled. "This mission was initiated by Star Star Group, with extremely generous rewards. Though risky, it's a rare opportunity—hope you all seize it well."

Lin Qing sat in the back row, glancing at the man with a blank expression, too lazy to speak.

This inspector, "Rodrick," is a typical Fuyong Sect member. During the extraterrestrial prisoner attack on Inspector Headquarters, he suffered heavy damage and only recently recovered.

Yet he's leading this mission now?

Still, from what this inspector said, he clearly has no intention of entering the Second Forbidden Zone—just dropping them off nearby.

After all, none of the surviving inspectors are from the Fuyong Sect. Rodrick doesn't want to walk into death.

Except for Tang Wanqiu, all other inspectors not from the Fuyong Sect are already searching the Second Forbidden Zone.

"Remember: if you detect enemy traces, especially the No. 1 target, and confirm the status of Original Research Institute No. 10, return immediately to report."

Rodrick warned: "Don't worry about safety outside the Forbidden Zone—Star Star Group's big shots have arrived outside the Second Forbidden Zone and are guarding the exit at all times. The Original Research Institute's remnants won't dare chase out."

Lin Qing stared quietly out the window. With his vision, he could clearly see the vast island shrouded in mist beneath the sea.

That was the Second Forbidden Zone—the transformation zone for Original-level Divine Offices.

The Three Forbidden Zones are each located in three places on Earth, separated by only a few thousand kilometers.

Inspector Headquarters always specifically warns new recruits about the Three Forbidden Zones and forbids elite inspectors from approaching them.

In fact, the Moon, modified by Star Star Group into a fortress, constantly monitors conditions near the Three Forbidden Zones. Without permission, even Headquarters inspectors cannot get close.

Inspector Headquarters allocates a limited number of Basic-level Divine Office candidate slots each year—only the most outstanding qualify to attempt.

Those who successfully pass the Divine Office trial become inspectors.

But in the past, those scarce slots were only for the First Forbidden Zone.

Even Headquarters inspectors had never come near the Second Forbidden Zone before.

"Remember, as you face Star Star Group's big shots, don't forget Earth's civilization and etiquette—smile like me, okay?" Rodrick smiled.

All present elite inspectors were Third-Star elites, well aware of Earth's three factions. None here were from the Fuyong Sect. Naturally, they had no good expression for an inspector like Rodrick.

Everyone understood that the metropolitan circle was no different from the old-era concessions.

The Wisdom Star Group was clearly the culprit that had usurped their homeland; even if they were powerless to resist and could only accept it, they were unwilling to be as servile as Roderick.

But facing such a huge gap, and the temptation of the Wisdom Star Group, very few could remain true to their original hearts.

After disembarking from the warplane, the group walked out of the island airport in this Second Forbidden Zone and saw a silver-white floating fortress hovering in the distant half-sky.

Those cold and stern lines, that massive and grim outline, were enough to shock anyone.

After traveling a few kilometers along the road built on the island, they arrived directly beneath that silver-white floating fortress.

The surrounding area had been completely illuminated by the floating fortress, like broad daylight.

Only the thick fog belonging to the Forbidden Zone in the distance still drifted slowly; no matter how intense the light, it could not penetrate that seemingly thin mist.

Roderick led the group to the foot of the floating fortress, where a massive silver-white wedge-shaped building had also been constructed.

"Prepare for action; wait here for now," Roderick ordered.

At this moment, Lin Qing felt a telekinetic force that made no attempt to conceal itself sweep over the area.

"This telekinetic force... is it Primal level?"

A thought stirred in Lin Qing's heart, and he roughly formed a guess and judgment.

Soon, a square hollow passage slowly revealed itself on the wall of the huge silver-white building, and from it walked out a short-haired woman with a third eye on her forehead.

The other party was obviously a Wisdom Star person.

"My lord Gulochi."

Roderick walked forward with a warm smile and, with a slightly humble attitude, said, "I heard you need a batch of new Elite Patrols to enter and investigate, so I immediately led a team to deliver them for you. Would you like to take a look?"

The short-haired, three-eyed woman glanced at the Elite Patrols and said in a faint voice, "Let them go to the safe house to confirm their identities. After installing the recorders, enter the Forbidden Zone as soon as possible."

Having finished speaking, she was too lazy to say more, turned around, and walked back into the silver-white small building.

They still need to confirm and inspect?

Lin Qing didn't really care.

Anyway, he had already used the God-Casting Image Battle Technique to completely suppress his own power, his genes had already been adjusted, and he had even found a place to hide the Star-Transmitting Tower, deliberately not bringing it along.

"Everyone go prepare."

Roderick said solemnly, "After you enter, search thoroughly. Do not harbor any improper thoughts; otherwise, it won't be difficult for My Lord Gulochi to catch you once he enters."

Everyone present understood his meaning.

Although the Primal Research Institute was a group of extreme madmen, this time they had dealt the Wisdom Star Group a significant blow, which many found very satisfying.

Some people participating in this operation even held the idea of leaking information to the Primal Research Institute.

However, the operation had recorders with all-around recording and monitoring, making it difficult to show favoritism.

But putting on a show was always possible.

Hearing this, Lin Qing felt somewhat strange.

That short-haired, three-eyed woman, 'Gulochi', was clearly a Primal Being; how could she dare to enter the Second Forbidden Zone?

Unless...

The other party had no Divine Office foundation and was just a normal Primal Being, which was why she dared to enter.

Otherwise, a Primal Being with a Divine Office foundation, once contacting the mist of that Forbidden Zone, would trigger the Divine Office trial.

And those terrifying existences possessing Primal-level Divine Offices would no longer have the chance to enter the Second Forbidden Zone.

Inside the silver-white building.

In one of the rooms, the short-haired, three-eyed woman looked at the female three-star Elite Patrol lying on the ground. The third eye on her forehead turned slightly, and her figure and appearance began to change drastically.

In a short while, she had already transformed into the appearance of a blonde, blue-eyed white woman, and even her aura had changed.

"This damn plan..."

Her eyes were somewhat cold. "It actually made me turn into these despicable Earth natives. Fortunately, it's a female; otherwise, I would rather directly abandon this batch of points..."

"Hmm... with the ability of this eye, although it is not as strong as the Black Flame Clan in a direct confrontation, having accumulated for so long, a single strike is enough to kill him."

"Even if I fail, with my life-saving abilities, the Black Flame Clan cannot kill me..."

Pondering, she reached out and rubbed her forehead where the third eye was already hidden. "Such a simple mission, and a huge sum of points in hand; not bad..."

In the night, Lin Qing, following the Elite Patrols, passed through the incredibly thick mist at the edge of the Forbidden Zone, and the fog before his eyes gradually thinned.

Although visibility was still very low, it was considerably clearer.

The surroundings now held only him alone; indeed, entering the Forbidden Zone together would still result in the mist sending one to any location within the Second Forbidden Zone.

At this moment, he was standing on what was clearly a broad road; beneath his feet was a smooth black floor shimmering with starlight, and on both left and right sides, one could see massive black metal statues.

The designs of these human statues varied, their styles were bizarre and strange, but all exuded a mysterious and weathered ancient aura, as if they had experienced countless ages.

At the same time, Lin Qing suddenly felt his body become extremely heavy at this moment, and the ground beneath his feet transmitted a huge attractive force.

He immediately activated the Battle Technique, and this little effect was manageable.

Just as stated in the data, the gravitational acceleration here was around 60g, that is, sixty times that of Earth.

For a patrol of ordinary strength, they would probably not last long after entering and would be doomed.

"These are the statues for the appointment?"

Lin Qing glanced at the statues around him and felt no interest.

He didn't even have a basic Divine Office, nor was he even a Primal Being; these statues representing the Primal-level Divine Office trials were of no use to him even if placed right before him.

"It's here."

Lin Qing took out an alloy throwing knife engraved with a cyan cross mark and threw it onto the ground behind a nearby statue.

This was the key to his survival — the Instant Light Return coordinate, which after gene reorganization had already reached over a hundred kilometers.

In this Second Forbidden Zone with its extreme gravity, that was already enough.

The entire interior of the Second Forbidden Zone was roughly the size of a city; under such immense gravity, movement would be far slower, making five or six thousand square kilometers feel very large.

"This is the Destruction-aligned divine office zone. Yan seems to be in the Authority-aligned divine office zone — not great luck, but it's only forty or fifty kilometers…"

Lin Qing drew in a deep breath, and immediately, bearing the high gravity, raced along the passage between the divine statues, his heart strongly anticipating.

He only needed to catch sight of the other from afar, and he could select a divine fragment.

Very safe.

Otherwise he could never have come in person.

Afterwards, once he waited for Yan's death, Yan's soul would enter the Gate of Eternity and become an Eternal Divine Fragment!
