Chapter 181: Lin Qing's Third Eye

In the room, clearly carefully arranged, bunches of fresh flowers were placed everywhere; soft lighting and warm tones revealed a touch of warmth and romance.

Zhao Jiayi sat on the edge of the bed, somewhat dazed, turned her head to look at Lin Qing who had just entered, and said nervously: "Lin Qing, Aunt Yi Leina Duo asked me to transplant my eyes to you today, and also said that if both of us are willing, we could get married at the same time; what does this mean?"

Lin Qing sized her up, suddenly smiled, and asked: "Has Lady Yi Leina Duo not taught you yet?"

"Taught me what?" Zhao Jiayi was a bit dazed.

"The method of transplanting the eyes." Lin Qing casually sat down beside her.

Zhao Jiayi was even more dazed: "No... isn't it surgery?"

"Is that so?" Lin Qing sighed: "Truly an unqualified mother..."

He reached out and touched Zhao Jiayi's head, saying: "Calling it surgery is fine, um... minimally invasive surgery, just without a scalpel."

"Ah?"

Zhao Jiayi was stunned for a moment, then suddenly widened her eyes: "You don't mean..."

She found it hard to say, subconsciously mumbling a sentence in her hometown dialect: "Sleep with me?"

"Yes."

Lin Qing smiled, saying: "If you don't want to get married, treating it as dating works too; sleeping together while dating is nothing, right?"

"..."

Zhao Jiayi was dazed.

Because... the few sentences Lin Qing had just spoken were actually in the language of the Three-Eyed Clan civilization!

"You... how..." She stared blankly at Lin Qing, couldn't help but stutter a bit, and her cheeks instantly turned completely red.

"It's fairly standard, right?" Lin Qing smiled, and casually took off her coat for her.

Zhao Jiayi suddenly remembered all the heartfelt words she had secretly spoken in her hometown dialect in front of him over these years, lowered her head, dared not look at him, wished she could crawl into a crack in the ground, and asked in a voice like a mosquito's hum: "When did you learn it..."

"A long time ago, your father taught me... come on, lift your leg."

While chatting casually, Lin Qing helped her take off her clothes, shoes, and socks.

And Zhao Jiayi, somewhat dazed, let him do as he pleased; although the two had not yet established a relationship, there was no difference from lovers, and besides, he knew all her secrets, so naturally she would not refuse, and was actually quite happy and expectant.

In a short while, she was stripped down to only her underwear; her flawless skin was very Bai Xi and delicate, and her tall and beautiful slender body was huddled together, slightly constrained and nervous.

"Good figure."

Lin Qing sized her up and praised her, then suddenly asked: "Do the Three-Eyed Clan not have periods?"

"No..." Zhao Jiayi wasn't too shy, just said softly: "But I don't know how much my body structure differs from Earthlings..."

"Then let me help you confirm?" Lin Qing asked.

"Then you go ahead..." Zhao Jiayi bit her lip nervously, her arms hugging the two quite large rabbits on her chest.

She couldn't help but ask again: "You seem to have no experience either?"

"Indeed I don't, but my theoretical knowledge is very rich, and..."

While speaking, Lin Qing called out in his heart: "Order."

"Advance, the Chamber of..."

That night.

In the dim room, Lin Qing glanced at Zhao Jiayi beside him, huddled under the quilt and daring not to show her head, and chuckled helplessly: "I haven't seen you this shy before; why do you only start being shy after it's done?"

"... I was just a bit... a bit..."

Zhao Jiayi covered her head, mumbled a sound with a muffled voice, and didn't have the courage to say it clearly.

"You performed quite well; it's just a normal physiological reaction, only your reaction was stronger." Lin Qing casually comforted her, then immediately threw open the quilt and got out of bed.

With life levels evolved to this degree, there was no need to worry about the first time being too intense and resulting in being unable to get out of bed.

Moreover, Zhao Jiayi's life level was now that of a high-level primordial creature; obviously Yi Leina Duo had helped her advance her divine office, so she wouldn't be unable to withstand the impact.

Lin Qing, barefoot, walked to the bathroom and sized up himself in the mirror.

He looked no different from the past.

Lin Qing's heart stirred.

The next moment, a crack slowly opened in the center of his forehead, and inside the crack was a vertical eye emitting a faint silver light.

"As expected, spatial ability..."

Lin Qing murmured, carefully sensing the ability contained within this eye.

The vertical eye in his brow turned slightly, and his gaze fell on the toiletries placed on the washbasin.

Silently, the toiletries on the washbasin had already disappeared.

"So that's how it's done..."

Recalling the things Zhao Jiayi had done in the past, Lin Qing finally understood how she managed it.

This eye connected to an alien space; within this alien space there was no energy or matter, belonging to absolute vacuum; he could use the eye to manipulate connection points between the alien space and reality, transporting whatever his gaze fell upon into the alien space.

At the same time, he could also form a spatial channel through the alien space to send items or whatever else out.

For example...

Through the spatial channel of the alien space, he could see inside completely sealed buildings.

At this moment, Lin Qing also thought of many application methods.

"The key to connection is the eye; I myself cannot enter the alien space, but using it to hide things is convenient..."

Lin Qing pondered, then sized up the vertical eye in his brow: "No wonder surgery isn't needed; originally this eye is just an external manifestation, essentially an energy connected to consciousness..."

That is to say, even if someone blasted his skull apart, as long as he didn't die, the eye would not be damaged.

Only when his consciousness was extinguished would this eye be destroyed.

No wonder one must establish the most intimate relationship with the Three-Eyed Clan before obtaining this eye.

Those chosen by the Three-Eyed Clan are deeply cherished and cherished by them; they are willing to make offerings. At such times, if one can bring the Three-Eyed Clan into a state of extreme physical and mental bliss, their consciousness will be influenced, and they will offer up the eye.

Theoretically, it need not be between opposite sexes; if that Three-Eyed being prefers the same sex, this can still be achieved.

"In that case, I need not worry that my death will affect Zhao Jiayi..."

Lin Qing pondered, "My consciousness is connected to the Gate of Eternity. Even if my soul shatters, my consciousness will remain attached to the Gate of Eternity and revive through the Gate of Eternity within my clone..."

This eye also belongs to a part of his life and is connected to his consciousness.

At the same time, this eye is slowly absorbing his life force.

"Desiring to absorb life force to evolve?"

Lin Qing sensed the vertical eye between his brows. "This eye should currently be equivalent only to the awakened living being level; no wonder the gravitational pull of the alien space is so weak..."

At this moment, he could choose to provide life force to this eye himself, or absorb life force from Zhao Jiayi to supply the eye.

As long as he wished, Zhao Jiayi would be unable to resist.

"The Three-Eyed Clan... indeed a breed that is farmed..."

Lin Qing sighed and immediately began actively infusing life force into the vertical eye between his brows.

He now possessed a lifespan of over two hundred thousand years, while this eye required only fifty thousand years of life force to evolve into a high-level primordial living being.

"If you want to suck, suck your fill."

Accompanied by a surging torrent of immense life energy, Lin Qing's life force began to flood wildly into the vertical eye between his brows.

This vertical eye subsequently erupted with brilliant silver light and began to undergo rapid evolution.

At this moment, Lin Qing could sense that the alien space connected to his brow began to expand at an astonishing speed.

Originally, the diameter of this alien space was merely several hundred meters, but now it began to expand wildly.

In almost the blink of an eye, it broke through the one-kilometer range, and continued to expand rapidly thereafter.

"Lin Qing..."

At this time, Zhao Jiayi, wrapped in a bedsheet, walked out from the bedroom. Standing now at the bathroom entrance, she looked at him with some worry. "You really don't need me to provide life force? Actually, I..."

"No need." Lin Qing glanced at her. "My life force can be restored; I don't mind the consumption. Do you understand?"

Zhao Jiayi couldn't help but be stunned: "Life force can be restored?"

"Don't worry about me."

Lin Qing sized her up and said, "You have lost this eye; you no longer possess spatial abilities, correct?"

"It doesn't matter." Zhao Jiayi shook her head. "Anyway, my talent remains; I can still sense the power of the Ninth Energy Level. The impact isn't significant."

"Don't comfort me; spatial abilities are still very useful."

Lin Qing walked over, patted her head, and then waved his hand. A piece of Starfall Source Stone, with a volume of about two cubic meters, appeared on the ground beside them.

"This is..."

Zhao Jiayi couldn't help but be stunned, looking at this piece of Starfall Source Stone with disbelief.

She could hardly believe her own eyes.

Such a large piece of Starfall Source Stone?

Yi Leina Duo had already told her that the pendant her father had left her was actually a piece of Starfall Source Stone, specifically carved out a small portion for her.

"This piece of Starfall Source Stone is roughly thirty thousand kilograms."

Lin Qing smiled and glanced at her, saying, "Use it to awaken your authority. Isn't your authority called 'Gate of the Unbounded'? Let me see what it does."

"So much Starfall Source Stone?" Zhao Jiayi couldn't help but say. "Why don't you use it to awaken your own authority?"

"Like your father, I am a natural authority awakener." Lin Qing said casually. "This piece is specifically reserved for you; use it freely."

"But I cannot repay you..." Zhao Jiayi said cautiously. "May I repay you in one thousand years?"

"No need." Lin Qing patted her head. "Today I will teach you something... Although you are of the Three-Eyed Clan, it is not only you who must offer to others; others can treat you the same way. You are a person born free. Giving... can yield returns; you do not need to make offerings."

Zhao Jiayi was slightly stunned: "But I don't feel there is anything wrong with offering to you; I am very happy..."

"I understand." Lin Qing slowly shook his head. "I just want you to understand this point."

"Oh..." Zhao Jiayi seemed to understand, yet not quite.

"Go awaken your authority." Lin Qing said.

After Zhao Jiayi went to awaken her authority, Lin Qing continued to infuse life force into the vertical eye between his brows, allowing the vertical eye to evolve at its limit speed.

Meanwhile, the Black Flame Clone had already awakened its authority.

The name of the Black Flame Clone's authority is 'Indestructible Fire'.

Reading the original text!

But it is not an offensive ability; rather, it is a healing ability. After all, the corresponding Black Flame itself is not an offensive ability; it merely burns one's own life.

As an Eighth Energy Level ability, Indestructible Fire can allow any living being's physical body to undergo nirvana and be reborn within the flames, reshaping the physical body. It can also actively consume its own life to help others extend their lifespan.

Currently, the Black Flame Clone is a high-level primordial life form; it can extend another's lifespan by at most thirty thousand years, and the recovery speed for reshaping a physical body is quite fast.

Although it is useless to himself, using it on others is actually quite good.

In the future, it would be quite good for the Black Flame Clone to serve as a healer in various civilizations, or to help companions recover from injuries.

A short while later.

"It has evolved."

Lin Qing discovered that after the vertical eye between his brows absorbed ten thousand years of his life force, it finally evolved to the level of a primordial living being.

The alien space connected to the vertical eye also suddenly expanded by a large margin, reaching a full several thousand meters in range.

"Not bad; even if used merely as a sub-space storage device, it is excellent."

Lin Qing also silently praised himself with considerable satisfaction.

Moreover, subspace storage devices can be stolen, and living things cannot be stored within them; even a few hundred cubic meters of subspace storage is considered extremely large and precious.

And what about him? This alien space now spans several kilometers in diameter, amounting to hundreds of billions of cubic meters of space! Furthermore, this vertical eye continues to absorb his life force, expanding at a rapid pace.

"Lin Qing... I succeeded."

Zhao Jiayi's voice suddenly rang out; her somewhat dazed expression clearly indicated she was digesting the information of the authority she had just awakened.

"Oh?"

Lin Qing turned to look at her and asked, "What ability?"

Zhao Jiayi thought for a moment, extended a hand, and a dark vortex emitting faint silver light appeared before her.

"This is the Gate of the Unbounded," Zhao Jiayi said. "It is used for teleportation."

"How far?" Lin Qing asked.

"Without leaving a coordinate in advance, I can only teleport within the range of my telepathic observation," Zhao Jiayi said.

"Coordinate?" Lin Qing asked. "If there is a coordinate, how far is the maximum distance?"

"It seems... there is no distance limit," Zhao Jiayi said. "But I cannot directly teleport to places where space is isolated, such as relic spaces."

Lin Qing nodded slightly, finding it not strange.

If a Level Nine ability could ignore the restrictions of the Pre-Civilization relic spaces, that would be unreasonable.

"Not bad," Lin Qing asked. "Is the cost of opening the Gate of the Unbounded high? If the opening speed is fast enough and the cost is low, it could also be used for combat."

"There's almost no cost..."

Zhao Jiayi said, "Anyway, opening the Gate of the Unbounded has almost no cost, and my own teleportation consumption is very low; I can open it with a single thought."

"Can you forcibly teleport others?" Lin Qing asked.

"It should be possible," Zhao Jiayi said uncertainly.

"Should? Try using it on me," Lin Qing said.

Zhao Jiayi made an "Oh" sound and immediately looked at Lin Qing.

In the next moment, Lin Qing felt the dark vortex envelop his entire body, attempting to suck him in.

Lin Qing felt that he could break free from this suction force by unleashing his power, and he silently sensed it.

"It is difficult to use this to forcibly suck people in."

Lin Qing said, "You are also a High-Level Primordial Being; the suction force of this Gate of the Unbounded is roughly equivalent to the second layer of the Yu Xingyuan, which is not very useful for combat at the same level."

As he spoke, his internal power surged, and he began to try to shake apart this Gate of the Unbounded.

However, even with his own power combined with the Holy Word, he could not shake apart the Gate of the Unbounded; it only caused the gate to tremble until he manifested his Pseudo-God Body and cast the Gathering of Ten Thousand Spirits to converge upon his own body, at which point the Gate of the Unbounded could no longer withstand it and dissipated.

"It is not bad for combat either."

Lin Qing analyzed and said, "You can use the Gate of the Unbounded to teleport away an enemy's ranged attacks; with your current strength, the upper limit of what you can neutralize is roughly the peak of the fourth layer of the Yu Xingyuan."

If he only manifested the Pseudo-God Body and the Holy Word, his strength would be that of a top contender in the fourth layer of the Yu Xingyuan.

Only after casting the Divine Technique could he reach the peak of the fifth layer of the Yu Xingyuan; casting the World God Body would allow him to reach the sixth layer of the Yu Xingyuan.

"This Gate of the Unbounded seems to be able to be strengthened by the divine office abilities of a Cosmic Envoy."

Zhao Jiayi tilted her head and said with some distress, "I still don't know which Holy Word suits me?"

"I know," Lin Qing smiled. "Unfortunately, the Holy Words from the Floating Island cannot be brought out. I will ask for you later; anyway, before you are sure, do not participate in the Primordial Divine Office Trial."

"Oh..." Zhao Jiayi obediently nodded.

"Now try to teleport me away and see the consumption."

That night, Lin Qing helped Zhao Jiayi test the Gate of the Unbounded many times before roughly determining the function of this ability.

Although it does not help much in combat, it is very useful.

The vertical eye in the center of Lin Qing's forehead also evolved to its current limit that night, transforming into the level of a High-Level Primordial Being, which is his current life level.

And the alien space connected to the vertical eye in his forehead reached a diameter of over a hundred kilometers!

Such a vast space is more than enough to store Mount Everest.

Just for this point, even if it cannot be used for combat, it is excellent.

Moreover... he had thought of an excellent method to utilize this alien space.

The next day.

That is, October 19, 2124.

"Do you plan to go to the Bronze Demon Mountain today?"

Yi Leina Duo looked at Lin Qing and couldn't help but frown slightly, saying, "The Bronze Demon Mountain is very dangerous now; wait a bit longer."

"Very dangerous?" Lin Qing asked in confusion. "What do you mean? This relic itself is used to test the will of the heart; there shouldn't be much danger, right?"

"It comes from others," Yi Leina Duo said, shaking her head.

"Others?" Lin Qing was even more confused.

As far as he knew, the strongest person who had entered the relic space was Councilor Yan Qingqing, Yan Que, a Star Being with the strength of the sixth layer of the Yu Xingyuan.

Below her were the two Primordial Divine Office holders, Councilor Yan Qingqing and Rodris; the former was at the fifth layer of the Yu Xingyuan, and the latter at the peak of the fourth layer. What threat did they pose to him?

The lower ones, Norek and Moon, were only at the level of the third layer of the Yu Xingyuan, posing even less threat to him.

"Norek has a problem."

Yi Leina Duo said, "This is Chu Hongjun's judgment. He said that Norek's will is abnormally strong; it is possible that he is the Elder from the Yuanchen Civilization, the Star Divine Office holder in the direction of Life Scholar named 'Kadoan', who possessed a body after entering Earth and specifically disguised himself."

"Kadoan?" Lin Qing was slightly stunned.

He had only heard the three of them mention that a Star Divine Office holder in the direction of Life Scholar existed among the Zhi people, but he had never heard that this person had actually come to Earth?

"Star Beings cannot enter Earth, but as long as they are willing to pay the price, they can completely possess a High-Level Primordial Being, lower their life level, and enter Earth."

Yi Leina Duo explained, "That Kadoan is the only one among the Zhi people who can confirm the distribution of the Three-Eyed Clan's bloodline; in order to find Jiayi, he probably specifically possessed his own clone and came to Earth."

She paused. "Although it's just a guess, when Lei Tong came to see you last time, he immediately confirmed that Zhao Jiayi was with me. Clearly, he had already determined Zhao Jiayi's location. Therefore, Chu Hongjun concluded that Kadoan had voluntarily lowered his life level and arrived on Earth."

"So willing to give it up?"

Lin Qing murmured, "A scholar of the Life direction? A Star Deity?"

"That can be understood," Yi Leina Duo sighed. "It is said that this Kadoan was also a super genius. He was already a Star Deity more than a hundred thousand years ago. His path of evolution had stagnated, so he has been diligently working for the Yuanchen Civilization all this time. It is quite normal for him to be willing to make such a sacrifice."

"More than a hundred thousand years?"

Hearing this, Lin Qing slowly took a deep breath, forcibly suppressing the excitement in his heart.

A scholar deity of the Life direction? A Star Deity? And he has lived for over a hundred thousand years? Now he has voluntarily lowered his life level to at most the High-level Primitive Lifeform tier? "If I use this creature as my second clone, I will gain his experience and understanding of Life research accumulated over more than a hundred thousand years!!"

"By then, not only will I be able to unleash the full power of the World God Body, but I can also easily merge the World God into my body, right?"

"Moreover..."

"A Star Deity of the Life category, specializing in the study of Life, with over a hundred thousand years of time, even if comprehending the essence of power is slow, he must have already comprehended the essence of many types of high-level Life powers, correct?"

"This will definitely be helpful for me to learn Seventh-Tier Divine Arts in the future!"

"Furthermore, the other party is a top leader of the Yuanchen Civilization! If I use him as a clone, I can completely understand, or even breach, the Yuanchen Civilization from within!"

"This..."

Facing such enormous benefits that seemed to fall from the sky, for a moment, Lin Qing could not help but feel an immense longing in his heart.

"I must kill him!"
