Chapter 197: Order Level Ten Thousand, Starborn!

"The last one!"

In the vast corridor, Lin Qing's figure flashed like lightning; at the same time, his right hand transformed into a war blade and swept through, instantly beheading that golden-haired Starborn man!

The golden-haired man's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He, a Starborn, was killed so easily by this Earth native genius?

How could the gap be so huge?

At the same time, a dark-green demon burning with black flames suddenly burst from the void, grabbed the head falling in mid-air, and then crushed it to pieces!

An invisible, vast, great will descended, and the remaining soul was instantly sacrificed to the endless Yu Xingyuan in the dark side of the universe.

"After the Black Flame Clone passes the Primordial Divine Office trial, experiencing the process of transforming into a Starborn will be more than enough."

A slight smile curled Lin Qing's lips; with a thought, that dark-green, demon-like Black Flame Clone was withdrawn into the alternate space.

His own 'Experience Bar' was already full, enough to experience the process of transforming into a Level Seven Starborn, so naturally he had to consider the Black Flame Clone.

Although the Black Flame Clone was not yet a Primordial Divine Officer, he had already accumulated enough in advance.

In the vast corridor, Lin Qing glanced at the headless corpse on the ground; this was the last Starborn of the Star Intelligence Group.

Tonight, all six Starborn of the Star Intelligence Group were dead.

Moreover, the shaking of the entire fortress had now stopped; obviously, Qi Lingxiao's destruction of this Lone Star Fortress was finished.

Lin Qing had handed the structural map of the Lone Star Fortress to Chu Hongjun in advance; Chu Hongjun then told Qi Lingxiao the key points needing destruction and interference, and with Qi Lingxiao's strength, achieving this was naturally not difficult.

For such a powerful and perfect fortress, the strongest defense is always against the outside, not the inside.

Furthermore, the order issued by Kadoan before leaving also caused a fatal flaw in the fortress's perfectly internal defense system.

"The Star Intelligence Group... after tonight will be history."

Lin Qing glanced at the Entropy Reversers' current Order Level.

【Current Order Level: 9745.4】

Moreover, it was still rising.

"As expected..."

Lin Qing couldn't help but show a faint smile, "After the extraterrestrial civilization forces on Earth are thoroughly cleansed, it should break the ten-thousand level."

In fact, the zero-point energy bomb Chu Hongjun detonated at the Star Intelligence Group last time had already raised the Order Level quite a bit, but it was still far from breaking ten thousand.

And this time, not only were the high-ranking personnel of the Star Intelligence Group annihilated, but he also infiltrated and planted several zero-point energy bombs in the Black Tower Civilization's Black Warrior Military Resource Company and the Goddess Stream Civilization's Expedition Society, these two major forces.

Although... this would cause the Earth geniuses held as hostages to die along with them.

But the Star Origin Stone he gave to Yi Leina Duo, awakening her authority 'Soul Homeland', could resurrect those who had left soul imprints in advance.

Even if the cost was to cultivate from scratch starting as ordinary people, it was better than letting the extraterrestrial civilization forces escape.

"Boom!"

The Lone Star Fortress floating above the metropolitan zone crashed down at this moment, causing the ground to tremble in response.

Although the regional defense system blocked the massive shockwave from the fortress's fall, it was enough to shock the entire metropolitan zone.

This scene was even more shocking than the other two fortresses that had exploded just now!

In the metropolitan zone, many people of alien bloodlines lived, and those qualified to enter the headquarters of the extraterrestrial powers' space fortresses were mostly internal personnel.

For them, these three fortresses represented the highest seat of power of the extraterrestrial civilizations.

Like their holy land!

And for Earthlings, these three forces representing extraterrestrial civilizations were three terrifying giants that could not be resisted.

The civilization gap between Earth civilization and extraterrestrial civilizations, as vast as heaven and earth, made countless people dare not even think of resistance, or even think of the day resistance would succeed.

And now, two had collapsed, and one had fallen!

This scene, for a moment, left the people of the entire metropolitan zone completely stunned in place.

This scene also marked the end of the eighty-year rule and colonization of Earth by the three extraterrestrial civilizations.

"Finally..."

At the top of the Star Patrol Council, Lin Qing stood quietly by the window, looking at the dim horizon, where the first ray of dawn had finally arrived.

【Order Level broke through 10000, new advanceable items unlocked; can unlock again after 100000】

At this moment, a line of golden prompt also floated before his eyes.

"The high-ranking personnel of the Star Intelligence Group are all annihilated."

In the living room, Chu Hongjun looked at the holographic 3D map projected before her and said in a calm voice, "The high-ranking personnel of the Black Warrior Military Resource Company and the Expedition Society are also almost all dead; there are some remaining forces not yet cleared, but that won't take long."

"Currently, the only extraterrestrial civilization force still on Earth is the Qiyan Civilization investing in the Dawn Group."

Chu Hongjun said, "But there is no need to worry about the Qiyan Civilization's forces; this academic civilization backs a Level 1.9 civilization, never colonizes, and never wages external wars; on Earth, it is purely investment in nature. Given Earth's current situation, we can actually use the Level 1.9 civilization behind the Qiyan Civilization to balance the Nine Star Civilization, so there is no need to expel them."

Hearing this, Lin Qing couldn't help but ask, "How should we handle those Earth geniuses who have already signed contracts with extraterrestrial civilizations?"

"There is only one best solution... kill them all."

Chu Hongjun said calmly, "The terms stipulated in the contracts are for life, meaning 'a lifetime'; as long as they die, the contracts will automatically terminate, so they won't be restricted; Yi Leina Duo can just resurrect them, and cultivating again is nothing."

Lin Qing nodded slightly.

From the perspective of civilization, these Earth geniuses... saying they are important isn't that important.

In a year and a half, Earth will be fully open, and the extraterrestrial civilization armies will arrive; in such a short time, these Earth geniuses won't grow enough to be of any help.

But as the elite among Earthlings, with the development of civilization and population growth, they can also make the entire Earth civilization's genes more excellent.

"The Lone Star Fortress of the Star Intelligence Group seems to be paralyzed."

Qi Lingxiao scratched his head, "I used a bit too much force back then; the main control room is almost completely destroyed by me; is this okay?"

"Nothing much." Chu Hongjun shook his head and said, "I mainly need the spatial materials of the Lone Star Fortress and the device that converts spatial energy; the other parts were going to be dismantled anyway."

"Dismantled? What do you mean?"

Qi Lingxiao was a bit confused because he still didn't know what Chu Hongjun wanted the Lone Star Fortress for.

Chu Hongjun ignored him and looked directly at Lin Qing, saying, "After you transform into a Star Creature, you'll go to the Void Great Tomb, right? About how long?"

"Of course, as soon as possible." Lin Qing said, "The cultivation chamber in the Void Great Tomb has ten times the time for me to cultivate."

Chu Hongjun pondered for a moment and said, "Then wait a few days. I'll rush to produce an automatically operating production device. You take it with your extra-dimensional space; it will automatically manufacture part of the device, which can help me save some time."

"Alright." Lin Qing nodded.

"Ten times the time, huh."

Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but say, "One and a half years becomes fifteen years. Your current strength is already Yu Xingyuan Layer Seven. If you're given another fifteen years, do you have confidence in mastering the Level Seven Combined Divine Technique?"

"No problem."

Lin Qing said affirmatively, "Fifteen years won't be enough for the Level Eight Combined Divine Technique, but Level Seven is definitely no problem."

It wasn't blind confidence on his part; it was because Kadoan had already mastered the power essences of hundreds of Level Six types and dozens of Level Seven types.

The Level Seven World God is based on the Level Six World God; the four divine techniques still require thirty-six Level Seven power essences.

There are only about two hundred types of Level Seven Life-System energy in the entire universe.

Of the thirty-six power essences required for the Level Seven World God, Kadoan has already fully comprehended thirty-two of them. After all, the World God belongs to the category of life-based divine techniques, and Kadoan is also a Star Deity specializing in the study of life forms, so such a high overlap rate is not strange.

Therefore, he only needs to comprehend four Level Seven power essences to form the World God.

As for fusion and solidification, since he already has a foundation, it won't take too long either.

"What about Level Eight?"

Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but say, "Lin Qing, let me remind you: comprehending the essence of Level Eight power is at least ten times more difficult than Level Seven. The key is the complexity, so the time required also increases tenfold."

"I understand." Lin Qing nodded slowly.

He also clearly knew this from Kadoan's memories.

The Level Eight World God is composed of one hundred and eight power essences. Levels Six, Seven, and Eight each have thirty-six power essences.

And...

In this wave, he only has confidence to transform into a Star Creature. As a Level Seven life form, he can only master Level Seven divine techniques.

With only a few Star Creatures, the Weapon Master Deity can only push him to experience the process of transforming into a Star Creature.

No mistakes, one sentence, one release, one content, one inside, one look!

As for the higher Ultimate Star Creature, a Level Eight life form, he would need to kill a few Ultimate Star Creatures to be enough.

Actually, for a Star Deity like Lei Tong, having undergone the transformation of a Star-Level Deity, his life essence is even higher. If he could kill one, that would be enough.

Alas... Lei Tong wants to commit suicide, and Qi Lingxiao can't stop him.

"Time is still not enough."

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "I still need to transform into an Ultimate Star Creature, but there are no more Ultimate Star Creatures on Earth for me to kill."

Chu Hongjun looked at him and said calmly, "The three of us are Star Deities. Killing any one of us would be enough for you to transform into an Ultimate Star Creature."

Lin Qing was stunned.

Qi Lingxiao also couldn't help but look at Chu Hongjun.

Yi Leina Duo sighed.

"Perhaps Dean Chu is serious, but I won't accept it." Lin Qing shook his head and said, "Even killing a stranger Star Deity I could accept, but... killing a companion? That's too inhumane. I'd rather flee Earth first."

"... What you say isn't wrong."

Chu Hongjun looked at him and said slowly, "From a purely pros-and-cons perspective, abandoning humanity might not be a bad thing, but powerful beings who roam the universe all need a strong heart. Indeed, we cannot force you to do something that goes against your principles and conscience."

Lin Qing breathed a slight sigh of relief.

He thought for a moment and said, "Actually, within the base of the extraterrestrial civilization stationed on Mars, there are many Star Deities. If my strength is strong enough, perhaps I can infiltrate and launch a surprise attack. As long as I can kill one Star Deity, that will be enough."

Chu Hongjun pondered for a moment and asked, "Where is the Regent of the Yuanchen Civilization?"

"... Right on Mars."

Lin Qing sighed helplessly, "He only arrived a few months ago. Because the opening of Earth is very near, the Regent of the Yuanchen Civilization, to prevent any mishaps, specifically arrived early and is waiting on Mars for Earth's opening."

"Then how can we launch a surprise attack?" Qi Lingxiao couldn't help but say. "Lin Qing, for someone with Yu Xingyuan Layer Nine strength, the burst speed is already outrageous. Even if they are on the other side of Mars, separated by tens of thousands of kilometers, they can arrive in an instant."

He looked at Lin Qing seriously and said, "Unless you can instantly kill a Star Deity and have confidence in escaping, otherwise, don't go."

Lin Qing pondered for a moment and said, "I have confidence in escaping. As for instantly killing..."

He shook his head helplessly.

Even if he masters the Level Seven World God, his strength is only Yu Xingyuan Layer Eight, not much stronger than an ordinary Star Deity.

After all, the gene indices of Star Deities have also caught up. Relying on the advantage of the World God, he can only even out the disadvantages in life level and deity level.

Instant kill?

Unless under special circumstances, there is almost no hope.

And, most importantly...

Relying on the World God to kill is useless. To rely on the Weapon Master Deity to push evolution, he must use a Divine Weapon to slaughter and seize that most pure life source.

This also means his strength in the Weapon Master aspect cannot be too poor.

"What about non-combat Star Deities?" Chu Hongjun suddenly asked.

"I have thought about it."

Lin Qing shook his head and said, "But the Yuanchen Civilization places extreme importance on those academic and auxiliary Star Deities. They are protected by multiple layers of means, making them harder to kill than those lone combat Star Deities."

"And with my help, there might be a chance." Qi Lingxiao said.

"No." Lin Qing said, "Hall Master Qi, you might be able to hold off the Regent of the Yuanchen Civilization, but that would also put you in deep danger."

Qi Lingxiao pondered for a moment and said, "We can do it like today. I'll still hide in your extra-dimensional space, and later you use your extra-dimensional space to take me away. Isn't that fine?"

"It's not that simple."

Lin Qing sighed and shook his head, saying, "The power of the Ninth Layer of the Yu Xingyuan has already affected space. When you killed Lei Tong, I had already confirmed this. When your power erupted, the fragile spatial channel I formed simply could not withstand the distortion and turbulence of that space-warping force."

He looked at Qi Lingxiao and said, "Once two terrifying experts of the Ninth Layer of the Yu Xingyuan clash, the impact on space will be even more shocking. By then, it will be even more impossible for me to take you away."

Qi Lingxiao was momentarily stunned.

"By then, I will only have the certainty to escape alone," Lin Qing said. "If you, Hall Master Qi, stay on Mars alone and are besieged by that massive interstellar fleet and the experts of the Yuanchen Civilization, then Earth will have no hope left."

He paused and said, "So, it is best if I go alone to launch a surprise attack. At the very least... I have absolute certainty that I can withdraw unscathed."

Qi Lingxiao could not refute this.

Although he could unleash the power of the Ninth Layer of the Yu Xingyuan by relying on his Divine Skill, the consumption of such a skill was so staggering that he could not sustain it for long.

Once trapped in an overwhelming siege, with a super expert like the Archon of the Yuanchen Civilization present, he would be practically doomed.

"It's not without a chance."

Chu Hongjun pondered for a moment and said, "Let's talk about this after you return from the Void Great Tomb this time. Send me a copy of the data from Mars later, and I'll take another look."

"Good." Lin Qing nodded.

"Focus on your cultivation," Chu Hongjun glanced at him and said. "We will handle the subsequent matters."

That day, Chu Hongjun and the other two began handling the follow-up matters for the metropolitan area, while Lin Qing also started attempting to transform into a Star Creature.

The God of War's Divine Office was sufficient to let him experience once the most suitable and perfect method of transformation for him, teaching him how to transform into a Seventh-Level Lifeform.

It was equivalent to the Divine Office teaching him a 'Star Creature Transformation Method' that was suitable only for him.

"So that's how it is. These five types of Seventh-Level energies transform according to this ratio and structure..."

After experiencing it once, Lin Qing immediately understood everything completely.

The essence of these five types of Seventh-Level power was already known to him, so as long as he experienced it once, he already understood it.

If it were someone who did not understand the essence of power, the possibility of failure would be very high after just one experience, whereas for him, there was absolutely no possibility of failure.

As long as he was willing, he could transform into a Star Creature!

"However, to save time, it is still..."

Lin Qing immediately had a thought in his heart, "Order, advance payment of 'Star Creature Transformation Method'!"
