Creating Heavenly Laws

"What a monster," the half-meter-tall old man marveled inwardly.

While Lin Yuan had been in the two-dimensional world, the old man had noticed that Lin Yuan's comprehension of the time-space fusion rule was still quite limited.

He was still a very long way from fully grasping the time-space fusion rule.

When the old man tossed the extracted insights of the time-space fusion rule to Lin Yuan, he had thought that at most, it would help Lin Yuan take a significant step towards understanding it.

But who could have guessed that Lin Yuan would directly comprehend the time-space fusion rule?

"If he can surpass the barrier of Rank Twelve lifeforms, perhaps he could one day reach the heights of a near-perfect time being?

" the half-meter-tall old man thought to himself.

A near-perfect time being was the highest praise he could think of.

As for truly perfect time beings?

They could effortlessly traverse multiple timelines, reverse the past, and alter the future at will.

Perfect time beings were beings beyond dimensions, and they couldn't be described using concepts that applied to ordinary lifeforms.

Milky Way Main Star.

After comprehending the time-space fusion rule, Lin Yuan's consciousness descended into his internal world.

Rumble.

As time and space fully merged, his internal world began to undergo a transformation.

The size of the internal world didn't increase visibly, but the number of spatial layers instantly reached trillions.

Moreover, in every aspect, his internal world experienced a significant enhancement.

"My current internal world...

If I were to undergo another infusion of the Chaos Void's source, the amount of source energy I could absorb would be over ten thousand times greater than when I broke through from Rank Nine to Rank Ten.

"Lin Yuan understood the magnitude of his improvement after comprehending the time-space fusion rule.

If this were compared to Rank Eleven lifeforms, it would be a qualitative leap, placing him in the fourth tier of Rank Eleven.

"And that crystalline ball of light…" Lin Yuan's excitement surged.

The crystalline ball contained all the insights into the time-space fusion rule from the myriad race powerhouses who had fallen into the two-dimensional world.

This naturally included insights from legendary Rank Eleven perfect lifeforms like the Divine King and the emaciated old man.

These legendary beings had all reached the fifth realm of the time-space fusion rule.

In other words, the baseline of the crystalline ball's effect was to elevate Lin Yuan's comprehension of the time-space fusion rule to the fifth realm.

And the upper limit?

With the combined insights of over a billion myriad race powerhouses into various aspects of the time-space fusion rule, the sheer quantity might just cause a qualitative leap, allowing Lin Yuan to break into the sixth realm of the time-space fusion rule.

It should be noted that fusion rules were divided into nine realms.

For most ordinary fusion rules, the seventh realm was the absolute limit for Rank Eleven lifeforms.

However, the seventh realm of pillar-level fusion rules belonged to the domain of ultimate beings.

As for the seventh realm of top-tier fusion rules like the time-space fusion rule—even reaching the sixth realm was a feat only possible for ultimate beings.

If Lin Yuan could cultivate the time-space fusion rule to the sixth realm, he would, in some aspects, stand on par with ultimate beings.

"Reaching the sixth realm of the time-space fusion rule is still too far off," Lin Yuan steadied himself.

The idea of leaping directly into the sixth realm of the time-space fusion rule was only theoretical.

A quantitative change leading to a qualitative leap was one thing, but expecting that the insights of just a billion myriad race powerhouses could push him to the sixth realm would undervalue the domain of ultimate beings.

Moreover, most of those billion beings were only at Rank Eight or Nine, with very fragmented understanding of the time-space fusion rule.

Inside the "White Paper.

"After comprehending the time-space fusion rule, Lin Yuan collected his thoughts and bowed slightly toward the half-meter-tall old man, "Thank you, senior.

"Though Lin Yuan's acquisition of the myriad race powerhouses' insights into the time-space fusion rule was a result of the rules of the lower-dimensional space, it was always best to remain polite.

"No need to thank me," the old man said.

"These were rightfully yours.

"He gave Lin Yuan a deep look.

The same insights into the time-space fusion rule that might take other powerhouses centuries or millennia to absorb, Lin Yuan had mastered in less than half an hour.

The gap between them was evident to anyone.

"Now that the game is over, the bodies, essence, and rule insights of those who perished have no use for me.

Do you want them?

"The old man paused briefly before offering.

"Huh?

""I can have them?

" Lin Yuan asked in surprise.

Wasn't he only allowed to choose one reward?

How could he have everything now?

"Technically, the rules state you can only choose one.

But I have the authority over the rest, and leaving them here would just be a waste.

"The old man explained.

"Then I'll take them!

" Lin Yuan responded without hesitation.

What kind of joke was this?

After experiencing the incredible benefits from the first crystalline ball, only a fool would hesitate.

This was like an extraordinary opportunity falling from the heavens.

"Alright, they're yours," the old man said without hesitation.

With a wave of his hand, four more crystalline balls of light appeared and floated toward Lin Yuan.

Compared to the previous ball representing insights into the time-space fusion rule, these four were much "murkier" and far less pure.

"I didn't specifically refine these four.

If you try to absorb them, they might cause some interference," the old man warned.

"I understand," Lin Yuan nodded.

Even if they were murky, they would still be far easier to comprehend than directly studying fusion rules.

They were like a shortcut to enlightenment.

"If possible, try to comprehend the chaos rule before you attempt to break into Rank Twelve," the old man added after a moment of contemplation.

"The chaos rule?

" Lin Yuan asked as he carefully stored the five crystalline balls, looking toward the old man seated before the giant painting.

He had heard mention of the chaos rule multiple times—Shen Ji from the Devil Jade Space, the spirit of the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm, and Xia Qin had all mentioned it.

"Yes.

""But don't overly pursue the chaos rule.

After all, for those below Rank Twelve, it's merely a legend.

"The old man said.

Seeing Lin Yuan's extraordinary comprehension ability, combined with the insights from over a billion powerhouses, gave the old man an inexplicable sense of confidence.

"Understood," Lin Yuan nodded.

Comprehending the chaos rule would greatly benefit his journey toward becoming an ultimate being.

If he had the chance, Lin Yuan would certainly give it his all.

"Now that the game is over, it's time for me to leave as well," the old man sighed.

He had been controlling the "white paper" and had remained in this universe, seemingly because of the interference from the ultimate beings.

But in reality, he had stayed to absorb enough life into the painting.

The game had started on its own once that condition was met.

"Leave?

" Lin Yuan asked, looking at the old man.

"Yes.

""So, how do you plan to leave?

Will you go directly, or do you want me to send you to a hidden location?

" the old man asked.

He had long been aware of the numerous Rank Twelve lifeforms watching from outside the painting.

That's why he specifically asked Lin Yuan.

"Please send me to a hidden location," Lin Yuan answered without hesitation.

Leaving directly would expose him to the ultimate beings.

If it had been earlier, with many of the myriad race powerhouses still alive in the two-dimensional world, nothing major would have happened.

The nine strongest human beings could have concealed Lin Yuan's presence, ensuring that no one noticed he was only a Rank Ten lifeform.

But now?

All the other myriad race powerhouses had perished, becoming "nourishment" for Lin Yuan's growth.

His understanding of the time-space fusion rule had been greatly boosted, thanks in large part to the support of beings like the Divine King.

Leaving now wouldn't mean that the nine strongest humans couldn't protect him, but it would likely spark a Rank Twelve-level conflict.

"No problem," the old man nodded.

He had the means to shield Lin Yuan from the perception of the Rank Twelve beings.

He had previously sent the native beings who had entered the Heavenly Gate out without anyone noticing.

Outside the Painting.

The many strongest beings had loosely surrounded the mysterious painting.

Ever since their clansmen had died within the two-dimensional world and Xia Qin had guided them to believe the "white paper" was a living entity, the ultimate beings had been preparing to take drastic action.

At that moment.

Buzz, buzz, buzz.

Under the astonished gaze of the ultimate beings, the mysterious "painting" began to tremble slightly.

Each tremor sent spatial ripples spanning millions, even billions, of light-years.

"This is bad.

""The 'white paper' is trying to leave.

"The strongest beings' faces changed dramatically as they realized the painting's intention.

But there was nothing they could do.

Even with all the strongest beings working together to suppress it, they couldn't stop the "white paper.

"Rumble.

A massive surge of spatial energy erupted as the "white paper" broke free from the ultimate beings' suppression and began to fly through the starry sky at an unimaginable speed.

Soon after, a gigantic rift appeared, and the "white paper" effortlessly slipped through it, leaving the universe behind.

The next moment.

The ultimate beings arrived, staring at the now-vanished "white paper" with grim expressions.

The ultimate beings had received countless gifts from the universe, but stepping into the Chaos Void would trigger severe backlash from the universe itself.

No one dared to pursue the "white paper.

""This is a huge loss," one of the strongest beings of the Starry Sky Alliance lamented.

Their alliance had suffered fundamental losses among its special lifeforms, and the Divine King, who had been their hope for reaching ultimate status, had seen their chances reduced.

Additionally, the Starry Sky Alliance had lost an ultimate weapon, one that had been brought into the two-dimensional world by the Divine King.

Milky Way Main Star.

Lin Yuan gazed into the distance, watching as the "white paper" disappeared through the spatial rift.

The "white paper" had entered the universe and now left it behind after a little over a century.

Yet, its impact on the myriad races of the starry sky was profound.

Especially for Lin Yuan.

Compared to the other starry sky races and the losses suffered by the major peak races…Lin Yuan's gains were nothing short of—Unprecedented!...
