Chapter 1 The Beginning

In the Lingjing Xingzhe world, a star interwoven with black and starlight quietly lay dormant, six smaller stars surrounding it in the center.

Suddenly, the black light and starlight brightened, each occupying half of the star, the starlight rotating clockwise, and the black light rotating counterclockwise, turning the small “star” into a Taiji ball.

At the same time, the Taiji star extended six beams of light, connecting with the six surrounding stars.

The seven stars shone brightly.

As the array activated and his vision shifted from blurred to clear, Zhang Yuanqing found himself in a desert covered in a layer of black, viscous liquid energy, like petroleum.

It flowed over his feet, while above him was a dreamy starlight.

The starlight above rotated clockwise, and the liquid energy flowing over his feet rotated counterclockwise, like a slow vortex.

"Hu!" As the two "millstones" rotated, the airflow stirred, and Zhang Yuanqing felt as if his body was in a vortex, his limbs becoming extremely difficult to move, and his breathing no longer smooth. There was a sense of oppression as if the heavens and earth were unleashing a killing intent together.

At the same time, his lingli (spiritual power) was rapidly draining, returning to the array. For a Lord-level expert, it would only take three breaths for their lingli to be exhausted and become a cripple.

Zhang Yuanqing tilted his head and looked at the Star Lord sitting cross-legged at the core of the array, and said calmly, "I didn't expect that you could create a copy through Lingjing Xingzhe. Lao Wangba (old tortoise) hid deep enough."

Unfolding the final battle in the form of a Lingjing Xingzhe copy is a completely different concept from gathering the demigods in two “idle” copies for the final battle.

The former is led by Lingjing Xingzhe, and the demigods in the copy are also subject to the constraints of Lingjing Xingzhe. The simplest example is that if a Void Demigod actively leaves the copy, they will be punished, unable to bring people into the copy again, and unable to take people away from the copy.

The Star Lord raised his eyes, his left eye filled with starlight, and his right eye dark and deep. He also said in a calm tone, "Your understanding of the sun, moon, and stars is too superficial. As the power of the universe's origin and one of the three cornerstones of Lingjing Xingzhe, even if the administrator's permissions have not yet been opened, I can still use some of the administrator's permissions."

As he spoke, he held his hands in front of him as if kneading an invisible ball. As he "kneaded" the ball, the Taiyin (lunar energy) on the ground and the stars above his head accelerated their rotation, turning faster and faster. Zhang Yuanqing was like a soybean between two millstones, being crushed little by little.

A large amount of lingli left his body.

Zhang Yuanqing raised his right hand, conjured a longbow, and shot a Golden Crow arrow towards the sky.

The golden stream of light soared into the sky, illuminating the entire copy, and the high heat emitted raised the temperature of the copy by more than ten degrees.

When the arrow came into contact with the starlight millstone, the starlight, which should have been pierced by the arrow, suddenly surged, instantly becoming as heavy as a mountain and as hard as iron.

The arrow could not break through the barrier and could only return to its original form as a Golden Crow, helplessly returning to the body of the Sun Lord. "This is an array specially prepared for me?"

Zhang Yuanqing asked with a serious face, without any emotional change.

"An array created in haste is not yet mature enough," the Star Lord replied.

Zhang Yuanqing sneered, "An array created in haste can allow six auxiliary arrays to continuously provide lingli?"

When the Star Lord fought the Dionysus, he used the Taiyin and Star avatars' combined divine technique. Obviously, he had studied these two forces for many years. This array is likely also a result of his research.

"This old silver coin has been biding his time for sixty years, and his foundation is indeed profound." The Star Lord's voice was grand and layered, "The brilliance of the Ziwei Six Fiends Array lies in the fact that to break the main array, you must first break the auxiliary arrays.

Your destiny is not in your own hands, but rather in the hands of your companions."

Zhang Yuanqing looked solemn, "My life is only in my own hands."

The Star Lord smiled, "What you should be concerned about is not this, but rather the realization that my ability to set up the Taiji Ziwei Six Fiends Array means that I have taken another step in refining the Taiyin source."

The dazzling starlight shone on Zhang Yuanqing's suddenly solemn face. Transparent ripples appeared in his eyes, and his pupils faded into a glass-like color.

He stared at the black moon above the Star Lord's head, his gaze penetrating the energy that concealed secrets, and saw that the remaining spirit inside was already extremely weak.

"Ling Tuo is about to collapse..." This shows that the two Illusion Gods once assisted the Star Lord in eliminating Ling Tuo's remaining spirit. Although they did not succeed, they weakened Ling Tuo's will to a certain extent. "The situation is getting worse!"

Zhang Yuanqing sighed in his heart, while also unable to help but sigh at Ling Tuo's excessively strong primordial spirit. As expected of the Taiyin body. The Star Lord, who was sitting, slowly said, "Within a day, I will be able to refine the Taiyin. At that time, without a complete Sun source, you will have no chance of winning."

Zhang Yuanqing was silent for a moment, and then said, "The two Illusion Gods are not capable enough to kill Ling Tuo. If they can only suppress and weaken him, are you trying to trick me into taking action to help you obliterate Ling Tuo?"

Attacking the Star Lord is equivalent to attacking Ling Tuo. The former can withstand the power of the Sun God and not die.

But the remaining spirit of you, the Taiyin Lord, will undoubtedly die. The Star Lord calmly asked, "How do you know that I haven't reached a critical moment in refining the Taiyin, and deliberately said this to make you hesitant to act, so as to delay time?"

Zhang Yuanqing was silent, then chuckled, "It is indeed a difficult choice. Stalling with you, I will be drained of lingli by this great array sooner or later, and I will also have to bear the risk of you refining the Taiyin at any time."

"Taking a gamble may help you."

"However, with your scheming, you should be able to calculate that I have more than just the Sun God's power, right?" As the words fell, he spread out his palm, and a golden light rose, revealing a metal scroll.

The Merit List! As soon as it appeared, dense Lingjing Xingzhe IDs appeared. One Lingjing Xingzhe ID lit up: Awakener!

This is the Star Lord's Lingjing Xingzhe ID.

He was born into an official family in the late Qing Dynasty. In the first half of his life, he dedicated everything to the imperial examination. After the corrupt Qing Dynasty collapsed, he experienced the bitterness of his family's decline, witnessed the tragic demise of his country, and watched the warlords tremble under the iron hooves of the great powers. He watched his compatriots survive, enslaved, and exploited in the cracks between the warlords and the great powers, numb and miserable. Since childhood, he had studied the books of sages and wanted to transform into a morning bell, awakening the numb Chinese people.

By chance, he obtained a character card and became... taking the name: Awakener.

The next second, the three words "Awakener" were erased by golden light.

In the sky, a blazing pillar of fire descended, enveloping the cross-legged Taiyin Lord. The latter seemed to have anticipated this.

Faced with the attack of the heavenly fire, the black round moon above his head melted, and the viscous energy poured down, coating the Taiyin Lord, turning him into a mud figure.

The heavenly fire swallowed the Star Lord with unstoppable force, but failed to burn through the Taiyin's protection.

Zhang Yuanqing appeared in front of the Star Lord like a ghost, snapped his fingers, causing the viscous mud to weaken the nihilification. Then, he took a deep breath and unleashed Shadow Roar at the Star Lord. A Demigod-level Shadow Roar.

Lord-level core skills can annihilate souls and are a regularization of mental attacks. At the demigod level, except for the Taiyin Lord and Marshal Zheng, basically no demigod can withstand a single blow without their spirit being affected.

The Star Lord was no exception. After releasing Shadow Roar, Zhang Yuanqing quickly put it away, and the Merit List then cast Dream: ability to bring the Star Lord.

Pulling him into a dream and putting away the Merit List was to prevent the next "retribution" from triggering lightning and the power of the Sun God, which would lead to the annihilation of Ling Tuo's remaining spirit.

As for Shadow Roar, Zhang Yuanqing believed that it would not cause Ling Tuo's remaining spirit to perish. If it could, the two Illusion Gods of the Nihility Sect would have done it long ago.

Zhang Yuanqing jumped into the Star Lord's dream. Just as he was about to weave a dream to deal with the Star Lord, two huge cloaked figures suddenly appeared in the gray dream space. Zhang Yuanqing was forcibly.

Expelled from the dream. The Star Lord opened his eyes, his tone unhurried, as if everything was under control: "The Ziwei Six Fiends Array is a whole. The auxiliary arrays not only provide lingli and maintain the stability of the array, but as the master of the array, I can also borrow power from the auxiliary arrays."

"Although the borrowed power does not reach the demigod level, it is more than enough to help me escape from the dream as an aid."

So much high-level material was spent, so naturally there would be effects. Lingli flowed away.

Zhang Yuanqing didn't waste any words and took out the Merit List. "Awakener" reappeared. Then, "Awakener" was annihilated again by golden light. As long as Zhang Yuanqing was still in the array, in a state of being deprived of lingli, the Merit List would continue to attack the master of the array.

This time, a clear and bright pillar of light descended from the sky, triggering the punishment of "Purification".

"Pa."

Zhang Yuanqing snapped his fingers and cancelled this retribution.

"Awakener" recovered and annihilated again. Silver-white lightning flashed across the sky, baring its fangs and claws. Terrible thunder was brewing. This time the retribution was being struck by lightning!

Zhang Yuanqing helplessly snapped his fingers to cancel the retribution.

He simply put away the Merit List, looked at the Star Lord from afar, and smiled, "Actually, until now, I still have two doubts that have not been resolved. Since you want to delay time, I wonder if you can help me solve them?"

The Star Lord nodded slightly.

Zhang Yuanqing asked in a deep voice, "Why did you kill Ling Jun's biological mother? And when did you learn the truth about the battle of the gods?"

Yinghuo (Mars) Array!

The Wind and Thunder Dual Gods looked around. They saw a round of dark red celestial body hanging in the sky, emitting a dark red light, and the sky and earth were dyed with an evil color.

Bathed in the dark red light.

The Wind and Thunder Dual Gods only felt that an irresistible "violence" welled up in their hearts, and they couldn't wait to let go and kill. Even the Sun imprint that Primordial Celestial Worthy had branded on her forehead showed signs of loosening.

A black spot walked out of the dark red celestial body, getting closer and closer to the ground. It was a Shura, three meters tall, like a black iron tower. Different from usual, Shura's eyes were dyed with a crimson light, and the surface of his dark skin was branded with blood-colored thin lines, like纹路 (patterns).

Di Jie (Earth Tribulation) Array.

The Goddess of Beauty, shrouded in holy light, stood quietly in a sea of ​​purple and red flowers, like a pure angel guarding a garden for God. However, in the next second, the sea of ​​flowers turned into magma, and in front of her was a boiling volcano. Black smoke billowed, and magma spewed out of the crater, covering the Goddess of Beauty's feet.

The Goddess of Beauty's feet made a "sizzling" sound, and her tender white and exquisite feet instantly broke open.

She groaned in pain, and a tearful expression hung on her beautiful face. The illusion shook violently, and the Illusion God behind the scenes seemed to have suffered some kind of impact and was unable to maintain it.

The volcano illusion shattered in the tremor, and the world entered a void.

The next moment, a new illusion descended.

The Void Demigod of the Lingxing (Bell Star) Array stood in the desert, looking up at the Dionysus Lao Mai playing upside down in the sky. From a normal perspective, it was actually him who was upside down.

Everything in this copy was upside down, going left would inevitably go right, going up would inevitably go down. At the same time, the rules were also in a state of chaos. Many of the Void profession's rules would be affected by the chaos and become unrecognizable.

At the same time, the air was filled with a intoxicating aroma of wine, paralyzing the flesh and soul.

In this state, the Void Demigod could not muster the slightest interest in fighting, and even wanted to have a roleplay session and revel to his heart's content.

But his tongue was never inferior to anyone, and he smacked his lips and said, "You're resurrected, Lao Mai. Last time, it was the Star Lord of Xing Wang (Star Network). We know each other. This time, I won't show mercy. Since you died early, you haven't seen me powered up. Even god-level enemies

Can be destroyed with a flip of the hand."

Lao Mai grabbed the Dionysus Scepter, smiling without any panic, "Then you try, will Lingjing Xingzhe allow you to exchange for god-level power? Think about it again, if you can let god-level power descend, is it beneficial to you or to us?"

"Void, you can summon up to three demigod authorities. I, relying on the terrain, even if I can't win against you, am enough to deal with it."

Faced with Zhang Yuanqing's question, the Star Lord did not answer immediately. His voice was layered and grand: "You also want to delay time, waiting for the Wind and Thunder Dual Gods or Void to break the auxiliary array!"
