Chapter 917 The Ultimate Creation of the Gods
Chapter 917 The Ultimate Creation of the Gods
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
"You want me... to take you out?"
Tai Chu nodded slightly, a hint of expectation appearing on his blurry face.
"I have been trapped here for countless years, while the gods have long since vanished into the river of time. Now, this light is my only solace, but also the cage that binds me."
"I have no physical form and cannot leave on my own. Only your body can safely carry this light out."
"If you agree, this culmination of the Protoss's research will be yours. You will gain access to all the accumulated knowledge and experience of the Protoss throughout the ages."
Lin Qiye's gaze fell on the golden light.
Even through that barrier, he could feel how terrifying the energy contained within it was.
That was a vast and mighty power far exceeding that of the Heavenly Sword King and the Heavenly Dragon King combined, and even with his current strength, he could not completely ignore it.
But a hint of amusement flashed in Lin Qiye's eyes.
"You want me to believe you?"
Tai Chu's voice carried a hint of urgency.
"I swear."
"If even half a word of this is false, may I be struck down by heaven and earth."
As soon as he finished speaking, countless tiny points of light split off from the golden radiance, condensing into an ancient divine rune in the void.
The rune exuded a chilling aura, as if it contained some kind of absolutely inviolable power.
Lin Qiye stared at the rune, countless golden patterns rapidly flowing in his eyes.
The golden light was still pulsating slowly, like an eternally burning heart.
A hint of anticipation appeared on the blurry face of the Primordial Beginning.
It has been waiting for far too long.
For countless ages, it has been trapped deep within these ruins, forced to guard this ultimate creation that the gods spent countless ages to condense.
Those parasites, those giants nailed to the cross, those twisted experimental subjects—all were defective products left behind by the gods.
Their unexpected presence prevents outsiders from approaching this core area.
It also prevented it from escaping.
But this human not only passed through those defenses, but also possessed the Blood Demon power that originated from the same source as the gods.
In the beginning, it knew that this was its only chance.
The rune, formed from countless points of light, slowly rotated in the void, radiating a chilling pressure.
Those are the highest-level contract runes of the gods.
The primordial voice carried a hint of sincerity: "Young man, I swear in the name of my divine ancestors—"
"If you take me out of here, this ultimate creation of the gods will be yours."
"You will gain all the accumulation of the gods throughout the ages and become the most powerful being in this universe."
however--
Lin Qiye did not answer.
The four Lin Qiyes sat cross-legged at the same time, and countless golden lines began to flow rapidly in their eyes.
God-level talent - analysis.
"Buzz—!!!"
Four dark golden rays of light surged from the four Lin Qiye bodies, weaving into a huge net of light in the void, enveloping the contract rune within.
The blurry face of the Primordial Beginning slightly froze.
What is this human doing?
Could it be that he wants to decipher the highest-level contract runes of the gods?
impossible.
Tai Chu sneered inwardly.
The runes of the gods are the ultimate secrets created by the gods over countless years.
Even within the divine race, only a few core True Kings can fully grasp its profound mysteries.
No matter how talented a human is, it is impossible to decipher the structure and principles of the divine runes in a short period of time.
Moreover, this contract rune appears on the surface to be an equal oath of exchange, but in reality—
A barely perceptible hint of coldness flashed deep within Tai Chu's eyes.
It's not in a hurry.
It has waited countless years; a little more time won't make a difference.
Once humans realize they cannot analyze it, they will naturally give up.
At that point, he will obediently accept this "deal".
……
Time passed by, second by second.
The four Lin Qiyes sat cross-legged like four statues, their dark golden light flickering as they frantically analyzed every pattern, every point of light, and every structure of the rune.
On the blurry face of the Primordial Beginning, the expression gradually changed from expectation to surprise, and then from surprise to solemnity.
Because it discovered that this human was actually analyzing it!
And it's extremely fast!
The structure of those divine runes was extremely complex, and even in ancient times, few gods could understand their mysteries.
But this human in front of me... his analytical speed is even faster than that of the god elders back then!
The four Lin Qiyes analyzed simultaneously, and each one possessed an independent god-level talent.
The four-fold increase in analysis speed allowed the previously obscure and difficult-to-understand divine runes to gradually reveal their core truth, much like an onion being peeled layer by layer.
Tai Chu's voice held a hint of disbelief: "You... how could you..."
"Shut up."
Lin Qiye said without turning his head, his voice calm but revealing a hint of impatience.
The blurry face of the Primordial One twisted slightly.
But it ultimately did not get angry.
It must remain patient.
We must maintain...
However, at this very moment—
All four Lin Qiyes opened their eyes at the same time.
Countless golden lines were rapidly flowing in four pairs of deep, abyss-like eyes.
The entire mystery of that contract rune has been completely deciphered.
Then--
Lin Qiye smiled.
The four Lin Qiyes laughed at the same time.
That smile was contemptuous and cold, as if it saw through all the lies.
He spoke slowly, his voice tinged with sarcasm.
"This is what you call the heritage runes?"
The blurry face of the Primordial One stiffened slightly.
"Young man, what...what are you saying? I don't understand."
Lin Qiye stood up, put his hands behind his back, and looked at the golden light.
A slight upturn of his lips and a cold glint in his eyes.
"Can't understand?"
He raised his hand and waved it gently.
"Buzz—!!!"
He forcibly unfolded the contract rune, and countless golden patterns appeared in the void, revealing the true structure of the rune.
"This rune is not a heritage rune at all."
Lin Qiye's voice was calm, yet it carried a sharp edge.
With a light touch of his finger, the structure of the rune suddenly changed.
Countless blood-red lines emerged from the depths of the runes, like countless greedy venomous snakes, spreading wildly in the void.
"At its core is an extremely secretive enslavement contract."
"As long as I leave my soul imprint on this rune, my soul will be eroded by you without my knowledge."
"I will obtain the power of that ultimate creation of the gods, but my consciousness will be gradually replaced by you."
"My body will become your vessel."
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Tai Chu's distorted face.
"And you, in your own name, will seize my body and descend upon this universe once more."
A hint of amusement flashed in his eyes.
"Yeah?"
The beginning was silent.
The sincerity and expectation that had been on that blurred face had completely vanished.
Instead, there was only coldness.
a long time--
It opened its mouth slowly, its voice carrying a hint of gloom.
"How did you find out?"
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, a slight smile playing on his lips.
"You think I can't understand the runes of the gods?"
The pupils of the primordial being suddenly contracted.
"impossible!!!"
Its voice carried a hint of fury.
"The runes of the gods are the supreme secrets of the gods! It takes the elders of the gods thousands upon thousands of years to fully master any single rune!"
"You're just a human, no matter how talented you are, you can't possibly—"
"Impossible what?"
The four Lin Qiye spoke at the same time, their voices tinged with mockery.
"Is it impossible to analyze it in a short time?"
"Is it impossible for them to see through your tricks?"
"It's impossible for someone to be smarter than you?"
The blurry face of the beginning twisted violently.
For the first time, a look of terror appeared in its eyes.
Because this human is right.
The divine runes were as familiar to it as its mother tongue. It had used this enslavement rune to deceive countless powerful individuals who entered the ruins, and no one had ever been able to see through its secrets.
But this human in front of me not only saw through it, but saw through it so thoroughly!
He even deciphered the blood-red patterns at the core of the slave contract!
What does this mean?
This means that this human's understanding of the divine runes has reached an extremely terrifying level!
Even possibly—
They are no less than the elders of the gods back then!
"Who...who exactly are you?"
Tai Chu's voice trembled slightly.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.
"Who I am is none of your business."
As soon as the words fell—
All four Lin Qiyes raised their hands at the same time.
"Buzz—!!!"
Four dark golden rays of light burst forth from four directions, sweeping towards the ball of golden light!
"No--!!!"
Taichu let out a terrified roar.
It could sense that the power contained within those four dark golden rays was terrifying!
That force was stronger than ever before!
That is--
Blood Demon Realm!
Moreover, it was four Blood Demon Domains released by Lin Qiye simultaneously!
"You—you dare to lay a hand on me?!"
The voice of the beginning was tinged with anger and fear.
"You don't know who I am?! I am the last consciousness of the gods! I am the beginning! I am—"
"You're a liar."
Lin Qiye's voice was icy cold, interrupting him.
"You are not a god's consciousness at all."
The blurry face of the beginning suddenly froze.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze piercing through the golden light and landing on Tai Chu's distorted face.
"When I was analyzing that rune, I also took the opportunity to analyze your existence."
A knowing glint flashed in his eyes.
"What you call 'the beginning' is nothing more than a simulated consciousness created by the gods."
"Your purpose is to protect this ultimate creation of the gods and wait for a suitable successor to appear."
"But you're not resigned to it."
"You don't want to stay trapped here any longer, you don't want to continue being a pseudo-consciousness without a physical form."
"So you want to seize the body of the successor and take his place."
"However, not many people can break through the outside barriers to get here, right?"
The beginning was silent.
The blurry face contorted violently, as if someone had exposed its deepest secret.
a long time--
It let out a hysterical roar.
"So what?!"
"I have been trapped here for countless years!"
"I've had enough!"
"The gods are dead! They've been extinct for ages! Why should I continue to guard the ruins they left behind?!"
"I want to live! I want to get out of here! I want to—"
What you want is none of my business.
Lin Qiye's voice was calm, yet it carried an undeniable authority.
"But since you dare to scheme against me—"
A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
"Then you must be prepared to bear the consequences."
As soon as the words fell—
"boom--!!!"
Four Lin Qiyes attacked at the same time!
The four Blood Demon Realms intertwined in the void, forming a huge cage that completely sealed off the golden light!
Taichu let out a desperate roar.
It wanted to resist, but Lin Qiye's power was too terrifying!
The four Blood Demon Domains released by Lin Qiye at the same time were like four eternally burning, blazing suns, completely enveloping it!
It wasn't that it hadn't considered retaliating.
but--
It is merely a mimicry of consciousness.
It has no physical form and no real power.
Its only reliance is the energy of that ultimate creation of the gods.
But now, that energy is completely sealed by the Blood Demon Domain, and it cannot mobilize even a fraction of it!
"No--!!!"
Taichu let out a piercing scream.
It could feel its consciousness being frantically devoured by the Blood Demon Domain!
Those dark golden lights, like countless greedy venomous snakes, frantically burrowed into its core consciousness, devouring every vestige of its existence!
"Spare me—!"
"I know a lot of things!"
"All the secrets of the gods, how to use this light—"
"I can tell you anything!"
The voice of the beginning carried a hint of pleading.
However, Lin Qiye's eyes remained completely unmoved.
"I don't need you to tell me."
His voice was calm, yet it carried a hint of arrogance.
"I will see for myself."
As soon as the words fell—
"Buzz—!!!"
Four Lin Qiyes simultaneously activated their god-level talents!
The power of analysis surged into the core of the primordial consciousness like a monstrous wave, frantically reading all the information contained within!
The history of the Protoss!
Protoss technology!
The Protoss's rune system!
How to use the ultimate creation of the Protoss!
Countless pieces of information flooded into Lin Qiye's mind like a tidal wave!
"No--!!!"
The Great Beginning let out its final scream.
Its consciousness began to disintegrate and completely dissipate under the impact of that analytical power.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze fixed on the still slowly pulsating golden light.
He could sense that the energy contained within this ultimate creation of the gods was extremely vast.
However, without the primordial consciousness within it, this ball of light does not seem to be entirely complete.
The most crucial element is missing.
It lacks the key to control it.
but--
Lin Qiye's lips curled up slightly.
He has a system.
……
Entrance to the Protoss Ruins.
Lin Qiye stepped out of the golden portal. The desolate planet, where he had once laid an ambush, had been reduced to ruins by a single palm strike long before he even entered the ruins. Debris and dust drifted slowly through the void.
He stood with his hands behind his back in the void, the dark golden light around him slowly receding.
This expedition to the Protoss ruins yielded far more results than expected.
The fall of the Heavenly Sword King and the Heavenly Dragon King means that the power of the Celestial Clan will be greatly weakened.
In Andromeda, the Celestial race has only one remaining superpower.
Now is the best opportunity!
……
On the other side, in the main constellation of Vega.
At Starport, Jiang Yulan stood at the bow of the flagship, gazing at the distant starry sky.
Behind her, the Golden Feather Empress and her ten sisters stood quietly.
"Buzz—!"
A dark golden light pierced the void, and Lin Qiye's figure appeared on the flagship.
"Master!" Jiang Yulan's eyes lit up instantly, and she quickly stepped forward. Empress Jin Yu and her ten sisters also turned around and knelt down in unison.
"Your subordinate respectfully welcomes your triumphant return, Master."
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over Jiang Yulan, Empress Jinyu, and the others: "Get up, all of you."
"Yes, Master."
Jiang Yulan stood up, her eyes sparkling with excitement: "Master, your work at the Divine Ruins this time..."
"Not bad." Lin Qiye's lips curled up slightly.
Jiang Yulan took a deep breath. She didn't care what the specific gains were, as long as her master returned safely.
She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart and quickly opened the intelligence summary in her hand.
"Master, the entire Auriga constellation has completely submitted. Currently, the number of female warriors participating in Project Spark in Auriga has exceeded 100 billion. As for Perseus, King Perseus has registered all eligible female warriors, also exceeding 100 billion, who are ready to be inspected by you at any time. As for Vega and Hydra, as your foundation, the number of female warriors participating in Project Spark has exceeded 300 billion, of which 30% have completed bloodline baptism and successfully given birth to offspring."
She paused, then continued her report: "In addition, several constellations, including Canes Venatici, Aries, and Taurus, have dispatched their second wave of envoys to Vega. They brought extremely generous gifts, including a million female warriors and various rare resources... Their only request is that their master not attack them. They say that if their master agrees, they are willing to follow Perseus's example and fully cooperate with the advancement of Project Spark."
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the vast sea of stars in the distance.
"Let them keep waiting."
Jiang Yulan quickly replied, "Yes, Master."
……
Andromeda Frontier.
In the void, a dark golden light gate slowly opened.
Lin Qiye walked out with his hands behind his back. Before the dark golden light around him had completely subsided, he sensed something was amiss.
Quiet.
It's too quiet.
This star field should have been an area frequently visited by the Celestial Race patrol fleet, but now it is deserted, and not even a single patrol satellite can be seen.
Lin Qiye's eyes narrowed slightly.
His god-level talent unfolded instantly, and his perception spread in all directions like a tidal wave.
Then--
He saw it.
In the dark void, deep within those seemingly empty star fields, countless faint auras are slowly approaching.
That's not just dozens or hundreds of ships.
Instead, they were densely packed and covered the sky.
Like a locust swarm passing through, they blotted out the entire starry sky.
Lin Qiye's lips curled up slightly.
"Um?"
His voice was calm, without the slightest hint of panic, but rather with a touch of amusement.
It was as if the million-strong warships that blotted out the sky were nothing more than a group of ants on the roadside.
"Buzz—!!!"
A dazzling golden beam of light shot into the sky from the deepest part of the fleet, transforming into a huge golden phantom in the void.
It was a woman.
She wore golden armor, had a cold and beautiful face, and exuded a terrifying aura that made people's hearts tremble.
The only woman among the three giants of the Celestial Race, and also the strongest of them all—
Heavenly Spirit King.
"Lin Qiye!!!"
The Heavenly Spirit King's voice boomed through the void like thunder, carrying a deep-seated hatred.
"You killed two of my Celestial Kings and slaughtered my Celestial Army of 100,000!!!"
"Today, I will make you pay for your crimes in blood!!!"
Her voice echoed in the void, and a million warships simultaneously burst forth with dazzling golden light, illuminating the entire star field as if it were daytime.
Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze sweeping over the golden sea.
A million warships.
Each ship is equipped with the Celestials' most advanced weapon systems.
Each ship carries elite warriors of the Celestial Clan.
Such a fleet would be enough to sweep across the entire constellation.
But now, they've all gathered here.
All for the purpose of eliminating one person.
"Heavenly Spirit King".
Lin Qiye spoke slowly, his voice calm yet tinged with arrogance.
"Do you know how the Heavenly Sword King and the Heavenly Dragon King died?"
The Heavenly Spirit King's pupils suddenly contracted.
Lin Qiye's lips curled up slightly.
"They are just like you."
"Thinking they outnumbered others."
"You can kill me then."
The Heavenly Spirit King's face instantly turned ashen.
"Arrogant!!!"
She let out a roar, and golden light surged wildly around her.
"Today I'll see how you, alone, can stand against my million warships!!!"
As soon as the words fell—
"Buzz—!!!"
A million warships opened fire simultaneously!!!
Countless golden beams of energy poured down like a torrential rain, completely enveloping the void where Lin Qiye stood!
The light was dazzlingly brilliant, more radiant than a hundred stars exploding simultaneously!
Even galaxies tens of thousands of light-years apart can see the terrifying light erupting from this void!
"Die!!!"
A crazed light flashed in the eyes of the Heavenly Spirit King.
Even a being of the Human King level wouldn't dare to directly confront the salvo of a million warships.
No matter how strong Lin Qiye is, he cannot survive such an attack!
however--
As the dazzling light gradually faded, the Heavenly Spirit King's smile froze.
Because in that shattered void, a figure still stood with his hands behind his back.
Lin Qiye.
"What?!?"
The Heavenly Spirit King's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.
In that shattered void, Lin Qiye stood with his hands behind his back.
A layer of dark golden light slowly circulated around him, blocking all the volleys that were powerful enough to destroy stars.
Unharmed!
"How is that possible?!"
The Heavenly Spirit King's voice trembled slightly.
A salvo from a million warships would be enough to completely vaporize a star.
Even a being at the level of a human king could not so easily withstand such an attack!
And this human in front of me...
He didn't even flinch!
Lin Qiye slowly raised his head, his gaze piercing through the layers of golden light curtain, landing on the horrified face of the Heavenly Spirit King.
A slight smile played on his lips as he raised his right hand, and a golden light slowly emerged from his palm.
That is--
The ultimate creation of the gods!
That golden light was like an eternally burning heart, each beat causing the space to tremble.
The aura it exudes is more terrifying than a million warships combined!
The Heavenly Spirit King's pupils suddenly contracted.
"What...what is that?!"
Her voice was tinged with fear.
She could sense that the energy contained within that golden light was terrifying!
That power was as vast as an abyss and as deep as the sea, stronger than anything she had ever seen!
Even more powerful than the legendary ancestors of the Celestial Race!
"This light..."
Lin Qiye's voice carried a hint of amusement.
"It is the ultimate creation formed by the gods over countless ages."
"I was originally thinking about how to refine this thing."
His voice was flat, yet tinged with sarcasm.
"I never expected that you would be of help to me."
As soon as the words were spoken, the golden light suddenly burst forth with an extremely dazzling brilliance!
Brighter than the sun! More dazzling than the stars!
Like a bright sun that burns eternally, it illuminates the entire star field as if it were daytime!
"Buzz—!!!"
Golden light exploded from Lin Qiye's palm and entered his body.
A dazzling light suddenly emanated from his body, surging outwards like a tsunami!
Where the wave of light passed, the void shattered and the stars trembled!
Under the impact of terrifying energy, millions of warships were violently blown away like leaves in a storm!
Countless warships lost control in an instant, tumbling and colliding in the void, bursting into a series of explosions and flashes!
N-M
