Creating Heavenly Laws

In the depths of the cosmic starry sky.

This was a desolate star region, where not a single planet could be seen within hundreds of thousands of light-years.

Suddenly, a slight spatial ripple spread, and Lin Yuan's figure appeared out of thin air.

"Where is this?

""Starry Sky Alliance territory?

"Using the position of his true body as a "coordinate," Lin Yuan quickly deduced his current location.

"I didn't expect Senior 'White Paper' to send me here," Lin Yuan shook his head slightly.

Before leaving this universe, the half-meter-tall old man had conveniently tossed Lin Yuan out.

Naturally, Lin Yuan had asked to be sent as far away as possible.

After all, there had been dozens of ultimate beings surrounding the "White Paper" at that time.

If he had been thrown too close, one of the ultimate beings skilled in spatial techniques might have detected something unusual, which could have been troublesome.

"I wonder if I'll ever see Senior 'White Paper' again," Lin Yuan mused as he fused with the deeper layers of space, gazing into the far distance, where a massive spatial rift was slowly closing.

His journey through the lower-dimensional space had left a deep impression on Lin Yuan, and it had also given him new insights into the Gate of the Myriad Realms.

The so-called lower-dimensional space was merely a creation of those near-perfect time beings, designed to explore other dimensional worlds.

In other words, even beings as powerful as near-perfect time beings could not break the constraints of dimensions and freely travel between them.

But the Gate of the Myriad Realms?

It seemed to accomplish this easily.

"Could the Gate of the Myriad Realms be a treasure on the level of a perfect time being?

"Lin Yuan speculated.

From the half-meter-tall old man, he had learned how terrifying perfect time beings were—nearly omnipotent, able to easily overturn timelines if they wished.

"Enough of that.

""Thinking about this is too far off for now.

"Lin Yuan collected his thoughts.

He wasn't even a supreme being yet, so pondering perfect time beings was meaningless.

In any case, the Gate of the Myriad Realms had already recognized him as its master.

When his strength reached the appropriate level, everything would become clear.

"I need to return quickly.

"Lin Yuan scanned his surroundings and, after confirming there were no powerful beings from the Starry Sky Alliance nearby, immediately prepared to return to human civilization's territory.

The Starry Sky Alliance had vast territory, but it was a classic case of "vast land, sparse population.

"After all, the Starry Sky Alliance was mainly composed of special lifeforms.

And special lifeforms...

did not reproduce nearly as quickly as human civilization.

Even the most ordinary special lifeform had a reproductive cycle that could take decades or even centuries.

Of course, the most prolific race was still the Insect Race.

However, the Insect Race's method of creating warrior drones didn't really count as reproduction.

The drones were fully controlled by the queen and lacked independent will, so they weren't truly considered lifeforms.

As for true Insect Race members reproducing?

That process was even slower than that of most special lifeforms.

"Let's go.

"With a single step, Lin Yuan disappeared, reappearing a million light-years away.

After comprehending the time-space fusion rule, Lin Yuan's speed of travel had increased drastically.

A step of a million light-years was already the result of him restraining himself, to avoid causing too much spatial ripple that might attract the attention of powerful special lifeforms in the region.

If Lin Yuan exerted his full power, he could easily step across tens or even hundreds of millions of light-years at once.

In short, after comprehending the time-space fusion rule, distance no longer had much meaning to him.

If he could raise his mastery of the time-space fusion rule to the second or third level, his speed would only increase.

"If I combined it with the 'Nine Steps of Time and Space' technique…" Lin Yuan shook his head, deciding that he would test his maximum speed when the opportunity arose.

Milky Way Main Star.

Sitting cross-legged, Lin Yuan had a smile on his face.

His experience in the two-dimensional world had been dangerous, with the risk of losing his Yang Primordial Spirit completely, which would have affected his martial foundation.

But, at the same time, coming out of it successfully had brought enormous rewards.

First, he had gained everything from the myriad race powerhouses—their bodies, souls, and many mystical aspects, as well as their insights into the rules.

It had all fallen into Lin Yuan's hands.

Although, according to the half-meter-tall old man, aside from the insights into the time-space fusion rule, none of the other aspects had been "refined" or "purified.

"Lin Yuan would need to study them with caution, but they were still far beyond his expectations—at least exponentially easier than gaining such insights from scratch.

Then there were the "artifacts.

"Over the ten thousand years, Lin Yuan had traveled to every corner of the two-dimensional world, naturally collecting many treasures.

While these artifacts hadn't been very useful in the two-dimensional world—at least for Lin Yuan, who had been nearly invincible there—once brought into the main universe, they became incredibly rare twelve-star treasures.

"If I had known there could only be one victor, I would have extorted the peak races a bit more," Lin Yuan chuckled to himself.

During the second opening of the Heavenly Gate, after Lin Yuan had pushed it open, the other myriad race powerhouses had assumed they too could pass through, so they hadn't bothered to demand that Lin Yuan leave the artifacts behind.

"Hmm?

""Actually, there's no need for my Yang Primordial Spirit to travel.

"A thought occurred to Lin Yuan.

He suddenly remembered his other identity—the master of the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm.

The Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm, established by the Mysterious Sovereign, was rooted in this universe.

As its master, Lin Yuan could, through the Mysterious Emperor's Mark, directly enter the secret realm as long as he was within the universe.

From there, he could use it as a "transfer point" to return to the Milky Way Star Domain.

Starry Sky Alliance Territory.

Lin Yuan, who had been on the move, stopped, activated the Mysterious Emperor's Mark within his soul, and his body quickly disappeared, drawn into the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm.

"Master.

" The six-armed figure greeted him respectfully, bowing to Lin Yuan.

As the spirit of the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm, it was aware of everything that happened within the secret realm, so it naturally sensed Lin Yuan's arrival.

"Alright.

""You can leave now.

"Lin Yuan gave the six-armed figure a glance and commanded.

"Understood.

"The six-armed figure respectfully retreated.

"Now I'm safe.

"Lin Yuan relaxed.

Carrying so many valuable artifacts made him feel uneasy, even on the Milky Way Main Star.

But within the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm, there was no danger whatsoever.

"Let's take a look at this silver mirror.

"Lin Yuan took out the silver mirror.

Buzz.

Now free from the constraints of the two-dimensional world, the silver mirror seemed to come alive, radiating vast spatial ripples as if it were a small universe being born.

However, as the master of the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm, Lin Yuan could draw on the power of the entire realm, so he felt no pressure.

"Do I need to refine it to open the space inside?

"Lin Yuan pondered.

Now that he was in the main universe, the power of this supreme weapon—the silver mirror—was reawakening.

Only by refining it could he begin to utilize its internal space.

Refining the silver mirror wasn't particularly difficult for Lin Yuan.

Back in the two-dimensional world, he had already infused a large amount of mental energy into it, essentially completing half of the refinement.

Now, continuing the refinement was just a matter of course, something that would take at most a month or two.

Of course, this would only allow him to refine the mirror.

Fully activating its power would still be beyond his current capability.

He would need to reach Rank Eleven and undergo another significant boost in strength before that became possible.

Throughout human civilization's history, there had been instances of powerful evolvers wielding supreme weapons on mid- or small-sized alien battlefields, tearing permanent spatial rifts.

In reality, the supreme weapon was being powered by a supreme being.

A typical Rank Eleven evolver, even if drained of all their energy, couldn't unleash a strike at the level of Rank Twelve using a supreme weapon.

While refining the silver mirror…Lin Yuan brought out the five crystalline balls of light.

These were his rewards for being the victor.

The artifacts he had collected in the two-dimensional world didn't count as rewards; they were treasures he had personally found.

Among the five crystalline balls, one radiated pure energy, representing the combined insights of the myriad race powerhouses into the time-space rule.

The other four crystalline balls, however, were slightly "murkier.

""Let's take a look at this one.

"Lin Yuan randomly selected one of the murkier balls and carefully sent his consciousness into it.

In an instant.

Lin Yuan's mind began to roar.

"What is this?

" Lin Yuan was startled.

He had become a giant of fire—an immense figure, millions of kilometers tall, lying dormant in a vast sea of lava.

"Is this the Scorched Flame King?

A Rank Eleven legendary perfect lifeform?

" Based on the features of the fire giant, Lin Yuan immediately recognized the entity.

The Scorched Flame King was the emaciated old man who had joined four other Rank Eleven legendary powerhouses to besiege the Divine Kings during the first opening of the Heavenly Gate.

In the two-dimensional world, the Scorched Flame King had been gaunt, but in the main universe, he was a unique special lifeform.

Only the Divine King and the Mother of the Tree World surpassed him in power; otherwise, he wouldn't have dared to attempt the siege.

"This is incredible," Lin Yuan marveled, clearly sensing every part of the fire giant's body—its subtle physical structure, its various innate abilities.

Even the simple act of the fire giant breathing involved profound rules that left Lin Yuan in awe.

"So this is what a unique special lifeform is like?

"Lin Yuan withdrew his consciousness from the ball, his eyes filled with wonder.

Compared to humans, special lifeforms were immensely powerful.

Unique special lifeforms like the fire giant were born at Rank Six.

Even taking a few naps would bring them to Rank Nine or Ten, and reaching Rank Eleven was easy.

Among the myriad races, even peak bloodlines like the Star Sea Kun were only Rank Six upon adulthood.

Reaching Rank Seven or Eight required effort.

Most Star Sea Kuns never reached Rank Eight.

But unique special lifeforms?

They were the "darlings" of the universe, requiring little effort to reach the pinnacle of power.

Of course, this smooth path was the reason unique special lifeforms had a low chance of becoming supreme beings.

Talent alone wasn't enough to become a supreme being.

In the current universe, the majority of supreme beings were those who had grown from weakness.

"Let's continue.

"Lin Yuan contemplated for a moment, then sent his consciousness into another ball.

Rumble.

This time, Lin Yuan transformed into a silver-armored, golden-horned alien, locked in combat with a powerful being.

Boom!

Boom!

Boom!

Space was collapsing all around them.

During the fierce battle, the silver-armored, golden-horned alien displayed numerous rule comprehension techniques, all of which surged into Lin Yuan's mind.

"The material rule… this silver-armored alien has a deep mastery of the rule of great destruction," Lin Yuan mused.

"And its body, while not as unique as the Scorched Flame King's, is still remarkable in some ways.

"As Lin Yuan delved deeper into his comprehension, countless flashes of inspiration filled his mind.

The four crystalline balls the old man had given him weren't refined or purified, unlike the ball containing insights into the time-space fusion rule, which had brought direct comprehension.

But it didn't matter to Lin Yuan.

With his unrivaled insight, he quickly began to grasp countless new ideas.

"I've found the direction for the Martial Path Rank Ten manual.

"By studying the myriad race powerhouses' various aspects, Lin Yuan had developed a concrete plan for the creation of the Martial Path Rank Ten manual.

"Body!

""Soul!

"Lin Yuan's eyes gleamed with excitement.

The body and soul were the foundation of martial evolution.

Starting from the Rank Four and Five manuals, Lin Yuan's martial evolution path had focused on rule comprehension and the internal world.

But now, with the Rank Ten manual, Lin Yuan was once again focusing on the body and soul.

With the numerous unique special lifeforms from the myriad races as references, Lin Yuan had gained fresh insights into the subtle structures of the body and the essence of the soul.

In terms of foundational knowledge, human civilization was indeed far behind those ancient special lifeforms.

But just because they had started behind didn't mean they would remain behind.

Lin Yuan was now rapidly absorbing the strengths of these special lifeforms in creating the Martial Path Rank Ten manual.

Theoretically, the martial evolution path Lin Yuan was creating would allow future practitioners to be on par with those special lifeforms in every aspect.

Lin Yuan's study of the myriad race powerhouses—their bodies, souls, rule comprehension, and even memories—wasn't just helping him perfect the Martial Path Rank Ten manual.

It was also greatly benefiting himself.

Lin Yuan's body was gradually evolving toward its most perfect form.

His comprehension of numerous rules, especially pillar-level fusion rules, was also advancing rapidly.

Time passed.

In the blink of an eye, two months had gone by.

Lin Yuan's gaze shifted toward the floating silver mirror.

"I've finally completed the initial refinement," Lin Yuan nodded.

The silver mirror, being a supreme weapon, had no master.

Additionally, Lin Yuan had infused it with large amounts of mental energy while in the two-dimensional world.

Thus, from the start of the refinement process until its initial completion, he had encountered no setbacks.

Swish.

Now that Lin Yuan had completed the initial refinement of the silver mirror, his consciousness entered the internal world it contained.

Rumble.

Within the two-dimensional world, the internal space of the silver mirror had been nothing more than a cramped ten-meter space.

But now.

As Lin Yuan's consciousness merged with it, he was stunned.

An unimaginably vast world stretched out before him.

"This space is at least ten thousand light-years in diameter," Lin Yuan murmured.

Judging by its size, this was comparable to the internal universe of a supreme being.

"Such a massive world… if fully activated, it would be no less powerful than a supreme being's full-force strike," Lin Yuan thought to himself.

However, fully activating the silver mirror would require a supreme being's strength.

Even if Lin Yuan reached Rank Eleven, he would only be able to barely activate it.

Full activation was far beyond his current capability.

"Let's take a look at the other artifacts.

"Following his senses, Lin Yuan arrived at a large stone platform.

Various artifacts were laid out on it.

A quick count revealed over a hundred items.

As the silver mirror revived upon leaving the two-dimensional world, these artifacts were also gradually awakening.

If these artifacts had been in the main universe, instead of within the silver mirror's internal world, the combined energy they emitted would likely affect tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of light-years.

"Eleven of these are from human civilization.

"From the more than a hundred artifacts, Lin Yuan picked out eleven.

During the ten thousand years in the two-dimensional world, Xuanyuan Duo and other human civilization evolvers had been diligently searching for artifacts, delivering a total of twenty-two to Lin Yuan.

According to Lin Yuan's agreement with Xia Qin, he was allowed to keep fifty percent of the artifacts he brought out.

"So many artifacts…"Looking at the nearly one hundred remaining items, Lin Yuan was filled with excitement.

Even ultimate beings would likely be envious of such a large collection of artifacts.

"Calm down, calm down.

"Lin Yuan steadied himself.

Although these artifacts were incredibly valuable, they weren't immediately useful to him due to his current relatively low life level.

"Take it slow.

"Lin Yuan carefully transferred the eleven artifacts belonging to human civilization into his internal world.

"No problems here.

"Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

The eleven artifacts—eleven twelve-star treasures or weapons—remained completely restrained, quietly floating within his internal world.

"I'll hand these artifacts over to Xia Qin.

"Lin Yuan set aside the eleven artifacts for Xia Qin, while the silver mirror and the remaining artifacts were stored in the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm.

With that done, his Yang Primordial Spirit left the Mysterious Emperor's Secret Realm.

Milky Way Main Star.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, and a figure silently appeared before him.

It was his Yang Primordial Spirit.

"Back already?

"A smile appeared on Lin Yuan's face.

"The strongest Yu Die has been waiting for me for some time," Lin Yuan thought as his Yang Primordial Spirit left the Milky Way Main Star, arriving in a patch of starry sky.

A few days earlier, an avatar of the strongest Yu Die had appeared outside the Milky Way Main Star to ensure that Lin Yuan remained safe.

After all, Lin Yuan was the sole survivor of the myriad race powerhouses within the "White Paper.

" Although this fact was unknown to the alien races, human civilization had to remain vigilant.

"Thank you, strongest Yu Die.

"Lin Yuan's Yang Primordial Spirit flew over and bowed slightly toward the ethereal figure in the starry sky.

"No need to thank me.

"Yu Die smiled softly.

"I'll take you to the human civilization's third stronghold.

The other strongest beings wish to meet you.

""The strongest beings?

" Lin Yuan was puzzled.

"Indeed.

Xia Qin and the other all want to meet you," Yu Die said as she looked at Lin Yuan.

"Eight strongest beings?

" Lin Yuan held his breath.

If Yu Die was included, that made nine strongest beings.

For all nine of human civilization's strongest beings to gather just to meet him?

Such a gathering was almost unheard of, only occurring in times of life and death for human civilization.

Normally, each supreme being had their own responsibilities and rarely convened together....
