Chapter 153: Are You Walking on Your Knees?

"Can this even work?"

Lin Qing murmured: "Isn't this just replicating an identical universe?"

"Yes." Chen Guang nodded slightly. "What we call 'reflection' is actually just copying—every so often, the Second Universe copies everything from the real universe."

She paused. "Of course, the Earth region hasn't merged with the universe yet, currency top-ups aren't enabled, and you can't see any extraterrestrial universe citizens."

"That's way too overpowered… Where did it come from?" Lin Qing couldn't help asking.

"I don't know."

Chen Guang said: "The Second Universe Net, in a certain sense, is another real universe—so even universe citizens have very limited permissions."

She sighed: "Here, aside from universe citizens being able to resurrect and refresh after death, all other simulated intelligent life forms die for real once killed—they can only wait for the Second Universe to reboot, and there's no arbitrary data modification, unless it's an affiliated space."

Lin Qing understood her meaning.

It seemed the applications of the Second Universe Net were countless.

For example, before a major battle, you could fully test strategies in the Second Universe, risking everything to gather intelligence, and so on.

"What permissions does a one-star universe citizen have?" Lin Qing asked curiously.

Chen Guang said: "Only resurrection and communication."

She paused, then added: "Only two-star citizens have the permission for teleportation."

Lin Qing nodded thoughtfully and asked: "Then how does one become a two-star universe citizen?"

"An original-level divine officer, or a star-living being capable of self-transforming into a star." Chen Guang said.

"Self-transforming into a star?" Lin Qing suddenly understood.

Awakened beings, original beings, star-living beings—these are the most basic levels of life.

Star divine offices represent the integration of all abilities and techniques, whether genetic powers or combat skills—all fused into one, representing the ultimate expression.

Basic-level divine offices and original-level divine offices are tiers of divine office, just as combat techniques are divided into basic and original-level techniques; the enhancement from an original-level divine office naturally far surpasses that of a basic-level one.

Divine office abilities, in a certain sense, are fundamentally more comprehensive and superior 'techniques.'

It's perfectly normal for original-level divine officers to rival star-living beings in status.

Just as basic-level divine officers and original beings can both become one-star universe citizens.

This has nothing to do with whether the divine office is rare—even rare divine offices are merely limited in number, not necessarily stronger.

"So it seems…"

Lin Qing said thoughtfully: "The top people in the metropolis circle must all be two-star universe citizens, right?"

"Yes." Chen Guang nodded. "My father was also a two-star universe citizen before he died."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

She had said that Dr. Chu Hui held the original-level divine office 【Gene Prophet】, a scientific category divine office.

However, a 'high-level original being' with an original-level divine office is entirely different from a 'star-living being' with an original-level divine office.

ZhiXing Group must have such individuals—otherwise, Dr. Chu Hui couldn't have been powerless to resist, and Chu Hongjun couldn't have saved him.

"Master, you have two communication requests."

Chen Guang suddenly said: "Both are two-star universe citizens. Their Second Universe Net ID numbers are ze1s588944 and ze1s588100—Qi Lingxiao and Chu Hongjun."

Lin Qing immediately said: "Connect."

The next moment, two screens appeared before him—on one was Chu Hongjun in a white lab coat, on the other Qi Lingxiao in training attire.

Lin Qing spoke: "Director Chu, Master Qi."

"Lin Qing, I've already contacted several factions in the metropolis circle for you."

Qi Lingxiao smiled. "The meeting location is the one-star affiliated space 'Chongju Mountain.' Here are the intelligence files of each exploration team—record them in the Second Universe Net."

Immediately, files appeared on the screen.

Lin Qing looked at them at once.

ZhiXing Group… Chaoyang Martial Arts Gym… Hei WuZhe Military Resources Corp… Expedition Society… Top Three…

Three teams, totaling over thirty main explorers, each from different factions.

Among them, ZhiXing Group and the Top Three were completely aligned and formed the strongest side.

Some of Chaoyang Martial Arts Gym's explorers also belonged to ZhiXing Group's side.

After all, ZhiXing Group was one of Chaoyang Martial Arts Gym's investors.

After reviewing everything, Lin Qing realized the three exploration teams represented three distinct civilizations.

Yuan Chen Civilization, Shennü Stream Civilization, Hei Tower Civilization.

As for the civilizations behind the extraterrestrial prisoners, like the Dilarxi Civilization, they held no power in the metropolis circle—merely a coalition forcing ZhiXing Group to sign an agreement: Jinzhizai Sect.

"Among these three teams, ZhiXing Group's team probably won't care about you."

Chu Hongjun said expressionlessly: "But precisely because of that, it's relatively the fairest for you. Shennü Stream Civilization's Expedition Society is exclusionary; Hei Tower Civilization's Hei WuZhe Mercenary Army values strength—handle negotiations yourself."

Lin Qing understood.

This was competition among civilizations—Chu Hongjun, as founder of Liming Group, didn't participate, so he could help recommend.

Otherwise, none of the teams would accept outsiders.

"Director Chu, Master Qi."

Lin Qing paused, then asked: "Is it very difficult to explore the Cangqiong Archipelago's treasure alone?"

Qi Lingxiao raised an eyebrow, studying him with interest. "Extremely difficult. Each side has true geniuses, but those who explore alone are exceedingly rare—only those who master multiple sets of Sacred Characters, whose strength nearly rivals your Patrol Headquarters' Upper Director, dare attempt it."

Nearly rivaling an Upper Director?

Lin Qing narrowed his eyes slightly.

To bridge the vast gap between Awakened Being and Original Being… this is the power of Sacred Characters?

"Decide for yourself."

Chu Hongjun said calmly, "Exploring the treasures of the lower floating islands is the expectation of Earth civilization for you. Although I do not think it holds much significance, it does offer you certain benefits."

Lin Qing nodded slightly and said, "I have made up my mind."

Chu Hongjun glanced at him and said, "If you are hiding your strength, reveal it sooner rather than later. Otherwise, when you explore the Sky Archipelago, everyone will come to compete with you, hindering your actions."

Lin Qing fell into thought.

"You need not worry about being targeted after revealing your strength."

Qi Lingxiao smiled and said seriously, "You are now a cosmic citizen of Earth civilization. Even if we are bound by the contract and cannot intervene to help you, other civilizations know that we are ultimately Earthlings, and the contract will eventually expire."

Chongju Shan is a one-star auxiliary space belonging to the Earth sector of the Second Universe Network.

According to the data introduction, this auxiliary space was created by the Black Warrior Military Resources Company, imitating a peculiar location from their home, the Black Tower civilization.

Gravity at the foot of the mountain is still normal; the closer one gets to the summit, the stronger the gravity becomes, reaching up to tens of thousands of times Earth's gravity.

In an environment of tens of thousands of times gravity, even a Patrol Inspector level being, if they could barely survive, would likely be unable to walk.

Meeting at Chongju Shan was also the request of the team from the Black Warrior Military Resources Company.

After Lin Qing accepted the invitation and entered this auxiliary space, he found himself at the foot of a dark, gloomy mountain peak.

This mountain peak was only a few hundred meters high, with a mountain road built with stairs.

At this moment, four people stood at the foot of the mountain, positioned on both sides of the mountain road, seemingly waiting for him.

Having just reviewed the explorer team's data, Lin Qing recognized these four people at a glance.

One man and one woman belonged to the team of the Zhixing Group.

The other two men belonged to the team of the Expedition Association, representing the Shen Nuxi civilization.

However, one person in each of these two factions was of Earth origin.

"Haha, you must be Lin Qing."

The Earthling youth from the Zhixing Group team saw Lin Qing and could not help but smile: "The first Rare Divine Servant of Earth civilization? You are truly impressive; I finally get to see you."

Judging by the youth's bald head and thick eyebrows, he was obviously the Earthling genius 'Liu Hongxia' from the Zhixing Group explorer team.

—At seventeen, the Chaoyang Martial Arts Hall judged him to possess outstanding-level aptitude; merely a few months later, he underwent gene awakening, received investment and training from the Zhixing Group, and at nineteen successfully acquired the Rare Divine Servant title 【Gene Hunter】.

Liu Hongxia had also experienced two explorations of the Sky Archipelago and possessed two sets of Holy Letter inheritances.

Among the Earthling geniuses in the current urban circles, he could be considered an outstanding figure.

"Hello." Lin Qing nodded slightly.

Liu Hongxia was the type of Earthling genius forcibly signed to a contract by the Zhixing Group; it was a helpless situation.

"Lin Qing, if you join our team, you can explore the treasures with me this time? I have experience." Liu Hongxia said enthusiastically.

The Zhixing person woman beside him, with red hair, a vertical eye on her forehead, and a tall figure, frowned slightly and spoke in a cold tone: "Liu Hongxia, the team allocation is not decided by you. Just stand aside and watch quietly."

Liu Hongxia was stunned and fell silent.

Seeing this, Lin Qing became even clearer about the status of Earthling geniuses within the Zhixing Group.

He had long heard that in the eyes of Zhixing people, Earthlings, even geniuses, were merely natives fortunate enough to be selected by the Zhixing Group, so they rarely received respect.

Even some extreme Zhixing people in the past viewed Earthling geniuses as slaves, using them at will, treating them as less than human.

It was only after Qi Lingxiao and Chu Hongjun rose that the status of Earthlings began to change.

At least, they dared not be too excessive on the surface.

As for this red-haired Zhixing woman, she should be the Zhixing Group genius 'Feilun'.

Her Rare Divine Servant title was 【Phantom Demon】, with only two slots available globally; she deliberately suppressed her transformation into a Primal Being and underwent a full seven explorations of the Sky Archipelago.

It is said that once a Holy Letter is inscribed, it can only be sublimated, not replaced, and the quantity is limited, so Feilun has been exploring the most suitable Holy Letter.

In terms of strength, she is almost number one among the awakened beings of the Zhixing Group.

Even some Primal Beings are no match for her!

Although this is typical for illusion arts; if the will is not strong enough and one cannot endure, it is game over, but it is terrifying enough.

This also made Lin Qing even more certain of the power of Holy Letters.

"Earthling."

The red-haired Zhixing woman 'Feilun' looked at Lin Qing and said expressionlessly: "You, a native, obtaining a Rare Divine Servant title counts as having some skill. This is the contract for this Sky Archipelago exploration; sign it if you agree, or forget it if you don't."

Beams of light converged to form a holographic paper, revealing a simplified contract.

Lin Qing glanced at it and quickly read through the entire contract.

"During the exploration, all shareable treasures, based on contribution, can account for up to 5%?"

"5%?"

Lin Qing could not help but ask: "How many main exploration members are there in total?"

"Nine." Feilun glanced at him, obviously having no intention of explaining this ratio.

Lin Qing fell silent for a moment and said, "Then let's forget it."

"As you wish." Feilun said casually: "On Dean Chu's behalf, we are only giving you one chance."

Lin Qing did not say much but looked at the two people on the other side of the mountain road stairs.

"Are the two from the Expedition Association the same?" he asked.

Upon hearing this, the two from the Expedition Association looked over. The Earthling-origin genius among them glanced at Lin Qing and said without expression: "Our Expedition Association has always been unwelcoming to outsiders. If you can accept an 8% share and follow orders completely in your actions, we can agree."

"My apologies." Lin Qing nodded slightly.

He knew that the Expedition Association had only five main members in total.

The two who came this time were merely of average level within the Expedition Association team.

The Shen Nuxi civilization is truly xenophobic.

At this moment, a voice suddenly came from above the mountain summit:

"The Black Warrior Mercenary Group speaks only in terms of strength. We can offer you a maximum 50% share, but... you must join us. First, climb to the summit to meet us."

"Climb to the summit?" Lin Qing glanced at the dark Shanfeng.

With his vision, he could easily see two figures atop the peak: a black-skinned alien man as tall and strong as an iron tower, and a slightly slender Earthling man.

Lin Qing pondered for a moment, then stepped up the stairs.

For a typical basic Divine Servant, this stair trial is difficult, but for him, it poses no challenge.

Even without activating his Domain or releasing his False God Body, the basic enhancement brought by the Divine Servant title "Divine Walker" alone is enough for him to walk normally under gravity tens of thousands of times stronger.

Before long, Lin Qing had reached the summit, stepping forward until he stood before the two men of the Black Warrior Mercenary Group.

"Not bad strength."

The black-skinned alien, nearly three meters tall like an iron tower, smiled upon seeing Lin Qing approach, revealing rows of white teeth.

"The Weapon Commander isn't good at close combat, and his physical abilities are average. Lin Qing, you're not bad."

The slightly slender Earthling youth nodded slightly and said, "How about this? If you can withstand three of my attacks in this gravity environment, we will allow you to join. How does that sound?"

Lin Qing frowned slightly and looked at the other man.

He knew the man was named Atkins, possessing the rare Divine Servant title 【Sky Walker】. Not only was his speed extremely fast to begin with, but Atkins had also obtained a set of Holy Letters that greatly enhanced speed, making his velocity even more terrifying. Many rare Divine Servants who fought Atkins were almost instantly killed.

Although Atkins was an Earthling, he had already obtained citizenship in the Lie Shan Blood Empire of the Black Tower Civilization.

"Didn't you say just coming up to see you was enough?" Lin Qing spoke.

"That is only the first step."

Atkins shook his head, saying, "Just climbing up and expecting to join us? Where is such a good thing? Considering Dean Chu's favor, we have already set the threshold very low."

Lin Qing asked slowly, "Maximum 50% share. Do actions require obeying commands?"

"Of course. The greater the merit, the greater the spoils." Atkins said, "We are a mercenary team, and you are merely an Earthling. Naturally, you must obey orders."

"Then forget it." Lin Qing said directly.

"You refuse?"

Atkins frowned slightly. "Are you unwilling to submit to the strong? Or is it for that laughable pride?"

Lin Qing glanced at him and said nothing.

"Natives of planetary civilizations always have people like you, unwilling to accept the fact of weakness, and unwilling to follow the strong to progress." Atkins shook his head, saying, "You are after all the first rare Divine Servant of Earth civilization. Do you not have the courage to take a step?"

"Do you walk on your knees?" Lin Qing laughed. "And aren't you the Earth native you speak of?"

Atkins' eyes shifted slightly, then he said coldly, "Our Black Tower Civilization asks not of origin, but only of strength. On May 18, 2120, in the afternoon, I was already a subject of the Lie Shan Blood Empire of the Black Tower Civilization."

"You indeed do not regard other Earthlings as Earth compatriots." Lin Qing shook his head slightly.

"Compatriots?"

Atkins frowned, saying, "This is merely self-consolation for the weak huddling together for warmth. Such boring inferior notions will only be eliminated by this universe. The strong unite; strength is what matters most."

"Is that so?" Lin Qing glanced at him.

Suddenly, a hazy light domain abruptly unfolded on the summit, instantly pressing down upon Atkins.

Atkins was just about to resist, but he felt that terrifying oppressive force pressing on him like Shanfeng, making it difficult for him even to move, let alone utilize the speed he prided himself on!

"Impossible..."

Atkins looked in shock at Lin Qing not far away, a trace of horror flashing in his eyes.

Originally, he thought that at such close range, Lin Qing, a Weapon Commander who only excelled at long-range attacks, would end up being instantly killed by him.

!.

But he never expected the opponent to possess a Domain!

Moreover, such a terrifying Domain, which almost completely countered him!

Lin Qing casually waved his hand. A long spear emitting faint golden light instantly condensed above his head, shot out as a streak of light in the sky, and directly pierced through Atkins' skull!

In the next moment, Atkins' corpse, after losing the protection of his Divine Servant ability, immediately collapsed and crumbled under the terrifying weight.

Seeing this, the black-skinned alien like an iron tower sized up Lin Qing and instead smiled.

"What a powerful Domain." He looked at Lin Qing, "Let me reintroduce myself. I am An Sha of the Black Warrior Mercenary Group. I formally invite you to join our team. How about it?"

"No need. I do not need your country's citizenship."

Lin Qing glanced at An Sha, shifted his will, and then exited this subordinate space.

An Sha stood in place, slowly shaking his head.

At this moment, a figure appeared again; it was Atkins, who had just revived and arrived.

"Captain, where is he?" Atkins couldn't help but ask.

"He left."

An Sha glanced at him, "What? Do you want to fight again?"

Atkins choked, saying, "I know if we fight again, I will still lose, but I just don't understand. How does he have such a terrifying Domain?"

"Talent, consciousness, will, Holy Letters, Divine Servant ability catalysis. Any of these are possible?"

An Sha said casually, "In short... unless you break through to Primordial and possess your own Domain, you will never be able to win in front of him."

Atkins fell silent.

He knew clearly in his heart that even if he transformed into Primordial and possessed a Domain, in front of the opponent's terrifying Domain, he would be unable to use Domain power, and would still be unable to win.

"The gap is too great..."

After leaving the subordinate space and reuniting at the mountain, Lin Qing also received call requests from Chu Hongjun and Qi Lingxiao.

"Although I knew you had a Domain, I didn't expect your Domain to be this strong?" Qi Lingxiao looked at Lin Qing with admiration, "Excellent, excellent."

"Decided to go alone?" Chu Hongjun looked at Lin Qing.

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded.

"It seems you have had your own encounters; your Domain is indeed very strong."

Chu Hongjun sized him up, asked no further questions, and simply said, "With this Domain, it is still not quite enough, but you can indeed try to venture out alone."

Lin Qing nodded and asked, "Dean Chu, Hall Master Qi, compared to my current strength, how do I stack up against Fei Lun of the Wisdom Star Group and that An Sha?"

Qi Lingxiao stroked his chin and said, "Your Domain is strong; it should be the limit of a Fifth-Level Domain. But Fei Lun's strength lies in mental telekinesis and intangibility; binding her would be useless."

"As for An Sha..."

He continued, "Before you, he is like an iron block. His physical body is too strong, his brute force is shocking, and his defense is even more shocking. He cannot catch you and can do nothing to you, but you can do nothing to him either."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

However, he had only used his normal Domain, not the stronger Pseudo-God Domain.

The difference was negligible anyway; the binding power was already strong enough.

Qi Lingxiao sized up Lin Qing and said, "Mainly, both of them possess several sets of Holy Words. It is normal that you are no match for them. Fortunately, Divine Techniques can only be unleashed with Sixth-Level power; otherwise, the gap between you and them would be even greater."

He shook his head and said, "After so many explorations, they must all have inherited Divine Techniques; they just lack the strength to master them."

Lin Qing nodded slowly.

However, he knew that it was still more than a month before the opening of the Sky Archipelago.

As long as he could condense a Pseudo-God Core and grasp the essence of Primordial Energy, there was still room for his strength to improve.

"Even so, do not recklessly inscribe Holy Words just to increase your strength."

Chu Hongjun said, "Once a Holy Word is inscribed, it cannot be changed. Try to find a suitable one before inscribing it."

Lin Qing nodded slightly: "I understand."

After leaving the Second Universe Web and returning to reality, Lin Qing immediately resumed his cultivation.

On that very day, the explorer team from the Wisdom Star Group sent another invitation.

This time, the Wisdom Star Group team raised the share of sharable resources to a maximum of 18%.

For a team of ten main forces, an outsider like him receiving 18% was already more than enough.

Clearly, they had taken a liking to his astonishing Domain ability.

The Expedition Society, known for its exclusivity, also launched an invitation again, raising the share from 8% to 20%.

Lin Qing, of course, rejected them all.

He hadn't really wanted to join other teams anyway; it was only because Hall Master Qi and Dean Chu personally helped introduce him that he went to take a look.

If he was satisfied, joining wasn't impossible; more people meant more strength.

But now, it seemed better to forget it.

If he acted alone, he could sometimes unleash his full power; otherwise, during team operations, he would have to hide his ability as a Walker Below the Gods.

Time passed day by day.

The Order Level grew higher day by day, and the Pseudo-God Core began to trend toward reality.

On November 24, the Order Level broke the thousand mark.

Lin Qing gained one more advanceable slot.

Except for the Ability Awakening that he could not yet fill, he already had four advanceable slots!

However, he had nothing to advance for the time being and continued to focus on condensing the Pseudo-God Core.

Finally—

On the night of the last day of November.

As wave after wave of massive Primordial Energy surged into the depths of his mind, Lin Qing felt that the Pseudo-God Core in his mind trembled violently once before finally stabilizing completely.

"Boom!"

A resplendent glass crystal radiating brilliant light suddenly appeared in his mind, its surface covered with numerous strange patterns, emitting a mysterious aura.

At this moment, Lin Qing felt that his perception of the omnipresent Primordial Energy in the surrounding void suddenly became clearer by countless times, and the perception was extremely fine, as if he could delve into the interior of Primordial Energy particles and perceive their essential existence!

Normally, even Primordial Beings could only rely on the assistance granted by the Planet Consciousness to manipulate Primordial Energy and transform themselves.

To delve into the essence of Primordial Energy was far too difficult and held little meaning.

If one could already manipulate Primordial Energy, what was the point of delving into its essence?

For Primordial Beings, they wanted to delve deeper into perceiving the root power of the Six Major Sects.

For instance, once the essence of Sixth-Level power was understood, one could transform their life level into that of a High Primordial Being on their own.

But this difficulty was absurdly high.

Therefore, the most common method was to fulfill the duties of a Divine Office and rely on the power of that office to evolve one's life level into a High Primordial Being.

"So that is how it is..."

At this moment, using the Pseudo-God Core to perceive the essence of Primordial Energy, Lin Qing understood the advantages of the Walker Below the Gods Divine Office even more clearly.

Gods are the masters of rules; by understanding the essence of rules, they can master them.

And for a Walker Below the Gods, what is formidable is not just combat power; the key is that this is a path that makes it easier to penetrate the essence!

"The essence of Primordial Energy..."

Lin Qing's heart stirred, and the Black Flame immediately began to self-combust, raising his comprehension and other aspects to the extreme.

This allowed him to increase his speed of comprehending the essence significantly.

Soon, the Black Flame had burned through more than ten lives in succession; he resurrected the Black Flame more than ten times in a row, maintaining a state of tenfold comprehension.

—After all, he could now absorb Primordial Energy at will, maintaining a thousandfold rapid recovery, so the energy cost of resurrecting the Black Flame was more than sufficient.

Maintaining the high-comprehension state, about ten minutes later—

As if enlightenment had struck his heart, at this moment, Lin Qing suddenly understood the essence of Primordial Energy.

Although it was only a little, he had truly understood.

"At this rate, a few months should be enough."

Lin Qing opened his eyes, having formed a judgment in his heart.

Taking the path of comprehending the essence, just a few months is already very fast.

For a normal Under-God Walker, it would take at least several years.

"Still too slow..."

Lin Qing shook his head slightly and called out in his heart to the Entropy Reverser: "Order."

Among the advanceable items, the entry 【False Divinity - Primordial Energy Essence】 was conspicuously there!

"As expected..."

A faint smile appeared on Lin Qing's face, and he did not hesitate.

"Advance: 'False Divinity - Primordial Energy Essence'!"

In the next moment, accompanied by inexplicable information floating in his mind, he also understood how to comprehend the essence of Primordial Energy with maximum efficiency.

This was a smooth, straight path requiring no trials and allowing no misunderstandings, several times faster than normal comprehension!

As memories flooded his mind, Lin Qing's understanding of the Primordial Energy Essence began to deepen and clarify, as if he were part of the Primordial Energy itself, gradually comprehending its essence completely.

As the sole Primordial Energy of the Fifth Energy Level, it is also the foundation of everything.

At the moment of completely comprehending the Primordial Energy, Lin Qing suddenly understood one point—

Merely comprehending the power of the Sixth Energy Level allows one to become a High Primordial Being, but without a Divine Office, to transform oneself into a star, one must not only comprehend the essence of the Seventh Energy Level's power but also the essence of the Primordial Energy!

Because this is also the essence of stars.

"Done."

Lin Qing opened his eyes, feeling that the Primordial Energy in the surrounding void was so familiar; he could easily understand and control it.

This had nothing to do with the Planet Consciousness; it was achieved purely through his own efforts.

Previously, the Planet Consciousness was like a monarch, and he was like a minister, with the Planet Consciousness allocating Primordial Energy for him to use.

Now, he himself is the monarch of Primordial Energy!

"We can begin."

A faint smile appeared at the corner of Lin Qing's mouth. "Now, even if my life level does not evolve into a Primordial Being, my various powers can still be elevated to the Primordial level."

For instance, the various abilities of the Army Commander can, on a foundational basis, evolve to the Fifth Energy Level equivalent of a Primordial Being.

For instance, the False Divine Body is the same.

As for the False Divinity Nature, it is a comprehensive trait of talents and existences that does not require advancing; the False Divine Domain is already at the Fifth Energy Level.

Lin Qing took a deep breath, not wasting any time, and immediately willed—

"Order."

"Advance: 'Fifth Energy Level Army Commander - Command'!"

"Advance: 'Fifth Energy Level Army Commander - Forging'!"

"Advance: 'Fifth Energy Level Under-God Walker - False Divine Body'!"

At this moment, after three consecutive advances, Lin Qing felt the Primordial Energy within his body boiling.

The Divine Office abilities, which fused various techniques and capabilities, began to transform at this moment.

Even though his life level remained at the Awakened Being stage, his Divine Office abilities, which integrated various techniques and capabilities, had been elevated.

This seemed incredible.

But this is something that can only be done after mastering the essence of Primordial Energy.

Deconstructed, Divine Office abilities are originally a perfect state formed by the integration of various combat techniques, mental power secret arts, and genetic abilities.

The level to which these combat techniques and secret arts can be cultivated depends crucially on the energy level the individual can withstand.

Originally, power that could only be withstood after a life-level transformation; now that he has comprehended the essence, whether his life transforms is no longer important.

At this moment, his three Divine Office abilities began an astonishing transformation!

【Auxiliary Explanation】 Life evolution is a transformation along energy levels.

The Third and Fourth Energy Levels belong to Awakened Beings.

Fifth Energy Level: Primordial Being

Sixth Energy Level: High Primordial Being

Whether Divine Offices or Holy Words, both are built upon the foundation of energy levels; normal Awakened Beings construct Divine Office powers and Holy Words using Fourth Energy Level energy.

Starting from the Fourth Energy Level, the gap between every energy level is very large; for life level to rise, all aspects must keep up for strength to increase.

Example:

An Awakened Being with a Divine Office and Holy Words normally constructs these powers using Fourth Energy Level energy; when he transforms into a Primordial, he can use Fifth Energy Level Primordial Energy to reconstruct his Divine Office powers and Holy Words. At the very moment of transforming into Primordial, strength does not increase much; only after the energy constructing the Divine Office and Holy Words is replaced with Primordial Energy and elevated to the Fifth Energy Level will strength see a massive increase.

Lin Qing, because of the bug that is the Black Flame Clone, could form a False Divinity using Primordial Energy in advance; having mastered the essence of Primordial Energy, he elevated his Divine Office powers to the Fifth Energy Level even though his life level remained unchanged.

It is equivalent to saying that apart from his life level, his Divine Office is already that of a Primordial Being.

(End of Chapter)
