Use first and repay later: Advance the future cultivation fruits

Only star creatures can partially retain consciousness in their physical bodies while another part of their consciousness enters the Second Cosmic Network.

——This is also why star creatures can hijack bodies.

Only two or three seconds later.

"Whoosh!"

A terrifyingly fast stream of light descended from the upper space, stopping right in front of him.

It was Councilman Yan.

"Three Star Pirates attacked, the other two trainee Star Patrol members are dead, and Yan Qingqing escaped." Lin Qing quickly transmitted telekinetically.

Councilman Yan glanced at him without speaking, then released a surge of telekinesis.

As a star creature, the range of his telekinesis extended for thousands of kilometers.

However, his telekinetic scan revealed nothing.

Such powerful Star Pirates dared to infiltrate Earth, so it was natural they possessed Holy Texts like 'Hidden World' for concealment. Even a star creature's telekinesis could generally not find them.

Only a Planet Exclusion Device would be relatively efficient for searching.

"Two or three seconds is enough time to escape if prepared in advance."

Councilman Yan slightly shook his head, looked at Lin Qing, and transmitted telekinetically: "What is the real situation?"

Lin Qing knew that Councilman Yan and the others had planned this incident and did not hide anything: "I seized the signal-blocking opportunity to kill those two Intelligent Star People and also tried to kill Yan Qingqing, but she escaped."

"What?"

Councilman Yan couldn't help but stare at Lin Qing, "I meticulously checked all the members of your group, those two Intelligent Star People were near the skill level of the Star Abyss Fourth Layer, and Yan Qingqing even passed the Star Abyss Fifth Floor last year. You can kill them? Have you already..."

"Yes." Lin Qing nodded, "The Divine Skill has been mastered, but it's a Defense Divine Skill, not good at attacking. Furthermore, Yan Qingqing concealed herself well, possessing two unexpected trump cards, so I couldn't kill her."

Councilman Yan fell silent.

After a brief moment of silence, he suddenly frowned and transmitted telekinetically: "Not good! You didn't kill Yan Qingqing, which means she knows you've mastered the Divine Skill!"

"Certainly." Lin Qing nodded, "She probably recorded everything she saw with the nano-mechanical inside her, so when she presents it to the upper echelons of the Intelligent Star Group, they will surely confirm that I have mastered the Divine Skill."

Although such non-real-time recordings of video and audio cannot be used as evidence — considering the current level of technology, they can be easily forged — the Intelligent Star Group is bound to believe it.

It's just that without concrete evidence, they can't deal with him openly.

"Big trouble."

Councilman Yan tightly furrowed his brows, "How long have you been cultivating the Divine Skill? Less than a year? To master the Divine Skill in such a short time, as a terrifying genius like you, extraterrestrial civilizations will definitely find ways to eliminate you prematurely!"

He couldn't help but say, "You should have hidden like Master Qi, not exposed yourself."

Lin Qing slightly shook his head and said, "Dean Chu asked me to expose myself."

"Dean Chu?" Councilman Yan was slightly taken aback.

If there was anyone on Earth he most revered and couldn't understand, it was definitely Chu Hongjun.

In front of Chu Hongjun, he felt like he had no secrets.

"It seems it's part of Dean Chu's plan..."

Councilman Yan slightly shook his head, saying, "In any case, you still need to be careful, mastering such a powerful Divine Skill in such a short time... it's unimaginable. As a peerless genius, the Intelligent Star People will never let you grow unchallenged."

"I understand." Lin Qing nodded.

Therefore, before taking action, he specifically hid the Black Flame Clone, along with some important items.

——Such as the Primordial Original Realm Identity Test Card, and the Starry Sky Source Stone...

Even if his main body dies, he can be resurrected through the Black Flame Clone.

Of course.

This is the worst-case scenario.

If he were to die and resurrect, the Intelligent Star People would also discover his ability to come back to life.

Although consciousness transfer resurrection isn't non-existent, it generally comes with many limitations.

Such a trump card is best kept undisclosed.

"However, you need not worry too much."

Councilman Yan telekinetically transmitted: "Those star creatures of extraterrestrial civilizations all fear Master Qi and his two associates, each still yearning to obtain Earth's treasure, who dares to personally probe faces the risk of death. Having grown up on Earth, they lack a strong sense of belonging to their distant home star on the other side of the cosmos, and won't sacrifice themselves unless absolutely necessary."

Lin Qing pondered for a while and said, "If it's below star creatures, I'm not afraid, unless it's an Original Divine Office master with a Divine Skill."

"How is that possible?"

Councilman Yan laughed, "Finding a peerless genius capable of mastering a Divine Skill is challenging for most Level One Civilizations; the Yuan Chen Civilization of the Intelligent Star People might have top tier experts with Divine Skills, but even they may not have such geniuses."

Lin Qing was enlightened.

"The difficulty of cultivating Divine Skills is too high."

Councilman Yan shook his head, "I have also tried cultivating Divine Skills, understanding the nature of various powers is already very tough, merging different powers into a unified whole, perfectly forming a Divine Skill... I have no clue."

He couldn't help but scrutinize Lin Qing, "You've managed to master it in such a short time? How did you accomplish the final step?"

"Just luck." Lin Qing shook his head.

"Epiphany indeed involves luck, but Master Qi and Dean Chu have always said that luck is also a part of one's strength."

Councilman Yan sighed, "This isn't just comforting words, but actual luck. According to the data from cosmic civilizations, luck is the universe's favor towards you, and that's very important too."
