Creating Heavenly Laws

Deep within his mind, the vast and majestic Gate of Myriad Realms trembled faintly.

At the very bottom threshold, a new coordinate for a world slowly took shape.

“A previously unknown dimensional space?

”Lin Yuan immediately understood.

Whenever the Gate of Myriad Realms drew near an independent world, it would automatically capture its precise coordinates, allowing Lin Yuan to transmigrate into it.

He’d witnessed this ability during previous traversals.

For example, the world of the Spirit Realm, even the Immortal Realm—were all discovered this way.

Soon after—Lin Yuan arrived before that dimensional space.

Compared to the vast and unrestrained Chaos Void, this dimensional space was significantly smaller.

Roughly one percent the size of the Chaos Void—likely not even capable of birthing a time lifeform.

However—When Lin Yuan tried to merge his mind into the space, he was met with violent resistance.

This dimensional space instinctively rejected him so strongly that a forced entry would cause the entire space to collapse.

“No wonder even time lifeforms have such limited ability to explore other dimensional spaces—there’s hardly any opportunity to do so.

”Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Each dimensional space operated on entirely distinct Dao laws.

For time lifeforms, sensing different laws was a kind of alternate cultivation experience.

But for a time lifeform to explore another dimensional space?

If it were one on the scale of the Chaos Void, entering was basically impossible.

The space's own will could suppress even most time lifeforms.

Not to mention, spaces like the Chaos Void had already birthed multiple time lifeforms.

As for the Second Source World—the only reason the Lord of Heavenly Radiance could merge with it was because he chose a moment right after its re-creation, when its instinctive will hadn’t fully awakened and no other time lifeform had been born within.

Even then, it came at a terrible price.

If the Source World didn’t contain a trace of perfect essence, what the Lord of Heavenly Radiance did wouldn’t have been worth it at all.

And if the dimensional space was weaker?

Then its Dao laws would be weaker as well.

Yet no matter how weak it was, the space would still resist any invader—including time lifeforms.

Forced entry would most likely result in the space’s collapse and serious backlash to the invader.

Thus, thirteenth-rank time lifeforms held both longing and helplessness toward other dimensional spaces.

Lin Yuan gazed at the dimensional space in front of him.

Other time lifeforms could at most observe it from a distance.

Unless they were prepared for mutual destruction, they had few options.

They might be able to explore the outskirts, but never go deeper.

But Lin Yuan was different.

Since the Gate of Myriad Realms had recorded it—That meant he could perfectly descend into it.

Any world Lin Yuan entered via the Gate of Myriad Realms, he would seamlessly integrate with.

Neither the space’s instinctive will nor the internal world consciousness would sense him at all.

“I’ll take some time to explore it later.

”After a brief thought, Lin Yuan continued his journey toward the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower.

Compared to other time lifeforms, Lin Yuan had far too many world options.

Even without counting the Gate’s custom teleportations, the remaining thirty-one Source Worlds were enough to keep him busy for a long time.

As for this small space—barely one percent of the Chaos Void’s size—it held little appeal.

Chaos Void.

Lin Yuan’s true body sat cross-legged, constantly monitoring the movements of his Tai Chi soul.

After all, that Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower determined whether he could elevate the Tao of Tai Chi to the third level before stepping into the thirteenth rank.

Decades passed.

Lin Yuan observed more of his future timelines.

He saw clearly that relying solely on himself, it would take eighty thousand years to reach the third level of the Tao of Tai Chi before the thirteenth rank.

But with the Yin-Yang Twin-Life Flower, he could achieve it in just twenty thousand years.

“That dimensional space…”Lin Yuan pondered over the one his Tai Chi soul had just discovered.

“Looks like I still haven’t observed enough future timelines.

”He realized the appearance of that dimensional space was completely unexpected—it hadn’t shown up in any of the timelines he’d seen.

But that was normal.

Every instant gave rise to countless timelines, and each point in each of those timelines gave rise to even more.

Unless one was a perfect fourteenth-rank time lifeform who could comprehend all time lines and perceive all past and future events, even the strongest of time lifeforms would inevitably miscalculate sometimes.

Let alone Lin Yuan, who wasn’t yet a time lifeform—his vision into the future was still very limited.

It was perfectly normal for unpredictable events to occur outside the timelines.

“Back to cultivating.

”Lin Yuan cleared his thoughts.

Over the past decades, aside from using part of his attention to observe his future, most of his focus remained on cultivation—particularly on the Tao of Tai Chi.

And on the sixth level of “Infinite Void.

”This thirteenth-rank inheritance, after being fused with the foundations of two Source Worlds, had already transcended the original framework of the inheritance—far beyond anything its creator had anticipated.

Originally, Infinite Void was meant for the Chaos Void.

Even completing the theoretical seventh level would only bring one close to the level of a Time Lord.

But Lin Yuan’s internal universe now aimed at one thing: the Perfect World.

“I’ve already completed eighty percent of the Particle World expansion.

Once the remaining twenty percent is done, I’ll have fully opened the Infinite Particle Worlds.

”Within Lin Yuan’s body, countless microscopic particles were being created every moment, birthing vast new worlds—each one reshaped by the new Infinite Void inheritance.

For the second Source World, it had taken Lin Yuan over ten thousand years to complete the Infinite Particle Worlds.

But for the Chaos Void and the First Source World, a few decades to a century were enough.

He had no lack of resources.

Plus, he was now proficient in the process.

And his understanding of runes had deepened.

All of this allowed Lin Yuan to move forward in creating the Infinite Particle Worlds without any bottlenecks.

“Once I’ve completed the Particle Worlds, mastered the sixth level of Infinite Void, and reached the third level of the Tao of Tai Chi…”“These three milestones will signal the time for me to break through to the thirteenth rank.

”Lin Yuan set clear goals for himself.

Among all the future timelines he had observed, only when these three goals were achieved before breaking through would he enter the thirteenth rank in peak form—and reap the greatest benefits.

At a supreme location within the Chaos Void…Here lay a space-time completely sealed off from everything—a towering figure sat cross-legged in silent slumber.

Though it appeared to be sleep, this was a form of cultivation.

The cultivation methods of thirteenth-rank time lifeforms went far beyond simple seclusion.

At that moment—The figure’s eyelids twitched, and he slowly opened his eyes.

“Countless things throughout history… all fade like dust with time.

”The towering figure seemed in good spirits, clearly having made great gains during his slumber.

For a time lifeform, any bit of progress was hard-won—many remained stagnant for countless ages.

“Let’s see how the inheritances I left behind are doing during my slumber.

”With a thought—Across the Chaos Void, several special items vanished into thin air.

Among them were: a crystalline tear, a slowly beating heart, and a shimmering starlight speck, among others.

Each was a vessel for a thirteenth-rank inheritance.

Soon—Six special items appeared before the towering figure.

The thirteenth-rank inheritances sealed within were all created by him and casually spread across the world.

Each inheritance represented an extreme in a particular aspect.

For example, the tear contained an inheritance called “Soul Illusion Realm”, which pursued the pinnacle of soul cultivation.

The slowly beating heart held the “Infinite Physique”, aimed at perfecting the physical body.

The sparkling starlight speck represented an inheritance focused on ultimate mastery of will and mind.

The other inheritances were the same—each a pursuit of the ultimate in one aspect.

The towering figure had created and disseminated these inheritances in hopes of cultivating a new thirteenth-rank time lifeform.

In the mysterious interdimensional gap, thirteenth-rank time lifeforms were like colossal entities, occupying vast stretches of time and space.

Many formed alliances to seize greater benefits.

And how were such alliances formed?

Through personal ties.

The closest bonds were, of course, between time lifeforms from the same dimensional space.

The more time lifeforms born from the Chaos Void before the Great Collapse, the more powerful their presence would be in the interdimensional gap.

So—Not only was this towering figure cultivating successors, but so were other time lifeforms—each leaving behind numerous thirteenth-rank inheritances.

“Let’s see which inheritors emerged during my slumber…”His gaze moved to each vessel of inheritance.

These items recorded all who had ever inherited them.

If he deemed someone worth cultivating—and that person had already perished—Then he would resurrect them.

A twelfth-rank lifeform who had broken free of the river of time, with their life imprint marked in the Chaos Void, could only be revived by a thirteenth-rank time lifeform.

“Not this one.

”The towering figure quickly reviewed the records within the tear and shook his head.

This soul-focused inheritance produced users with the most unpredictable methods—soul attacks were formless and intangible, nearly impossible to defend against.

He looked through the second, third… until the sixth vessel.

“Hmm?

”It was only now that the towering figure sensed something off.

He had spread seven such vessels, each representing an extreme in one of seven aspects: mind and will, soul, physique, inner world, and more.

But now only six had returned?

He blinked, then quickly reacted:“Where’s my gourd?
