Chapter 365 The Primordial Life Law
After more than two thousand years of unremitting efforts, Chen Yuan finally solved the problem of his own flawed laws.
Furthermore, the instant he finished sorting out all the laws, he seized the opportunity and comprehended the last of the three profound mysteries of 'acceleration,' 'stagnation,' and 'rewinding,' successfully breaking through to the realm of the Universe Venerable!
In the sky, colorful vortexes churned, covering an area of nearly 100 billion kilometers. The ocean of the fundamental laws of time appeared in the void, seemingly about to pour down at any moment.
However, after waiting for a while, Chen Yuan discovered that the sea of laws in the sky did not descend to transform his divine body, but seemed to be searching for something.
"Oh, right, my divine kingdom!"
Chen Yuan suddenly realized that he had placed the Divine Kingdom in the Optimization Space, which explained why the Ocean of Laws had remained silent for so long.
After all, his optimization space, like the system's database, is a place independent of the supreme rules, and naturally it will not be sensed by the original universe.
"Therefore, although the primordial universe sensed that I had broken through to the level of a Universe Venerable, according to the rules, it should have sent down the power of the law to help me transform into a divine body."
A flash of realization crossed Chen Yuan's eyes: "Unfortunately, when the primordial laws descended, we discovered that they couldn't sense my divine kingdom at all, which is why it came to a standstill."
"Since that's the case..."
With a thought, his vast divine kingdom emerged from endless light. Due to its enormous size, the entire divine kingdom almost instantly approached the five-colored vortex.
In fact, compared to the entire scope of his divine kingdom, this multicolored vortex spanning hundreds of billions of kilometers seemed tiny, barely covering the very center of the divine kingdom, namely the sky above the Nine Nether Sea.
boom!
The ocean of the fundamental laws of time waited for a long time before finally sensing the divine kingdom of its target. Instantly, it boiled over, pouring out endless power of the laws into the long-awaited Nine Nether Sea.
call out!
At the same time, several more figures appeared in Chen Yuan's divine realm. These were his other clones, who were using the power absorbed by the Nine Nether Sea to complete the transformation of their divine bodies.
Only the Nine Nether Sea, due to its enormous size, although it absorbs enough primordial power every second to transform several thousand universe venerables, is still a drop in the ocean compared to that divine body with a diameter of 1200 billion kilometers.
Yes, after years of continuous expansion, Chen Yuan finally expanded the Nether Sea clone to the limit of the Immortal level, which is 1200 billion kilometers in diameter!
This is why the Nine Nether Sea devours the power of origin at such an astonishing speed, although this speed is relative to other bodies.
As is well known, when a cultivator enters the three levels of Immortality, Universe Venerable, and Universe Lord, the Origin of the Universe will descend.
However, the only opportunity to fully absorb the source land and transform one's divine body is the one that leads to the breakthrough to immortality.
As for the breakthrough to the Universe Venerable level this time, and the subsequent breakthrough to the Universe Lord level, the time for the Origin to descend was very short, and how much divine power could be converted depended entirely on their abilities.
Therefore, even though the speed at which the Nether Sea clone absorbed the source was extremely fast, the conversion speed was surprisingly slow for that enormous divine body.
According to Chen Yuan's estimate, even until the origin of the law disappears, it may not be possible to reach a 10% conversion rate.
Sure enough, a moment later, the ocean of laws in the sky began to become illusory, its indistinct appearance seeming as if it were about to disappear at any moment.
When Chen Yuan looked at the progress of the divine body transformation of the Youhai clone, he found that it was only about 7%.
"That's far too little."
Chen Yuan frowned slightly. The conversion was so slow. If he wanted to slowly convert the source he had stolen from the Origin Treasure, it would probably take at least several thousand years.
After all, how can stolen primordial energy compare to this unlimited supply?
Unfortunately, although there was no limit to the quantity, there was a time limit, and it was very short. Even though the Nether Sea clone kept consuming energy, it only achieved a 7% conversion rate.
Of course, Chen Yuan also knew that for a clone of Youhai to be able to convert 7% of divine power was already astonishing, and there might not even be a second example in the entire universe.
Because his Nine Nether Sea has a diameter of 1200 billion kilometers. You should know that when Luo Feng broke through to the Universe Venerable in the original work, his Nine Nether Sea clone was only 200 billion kilometers long.
Luo Feng's conversion rate was only 12%, which seemed higher than his, but the difference in the amount of divine power between the two was hundreds of times, and they were not even in the same league.
However, Chen Yuan was still not entirely satisfied.
"If only the fundamental laws could linger a little longer."
As Chen Yuan looked up at the disappearing ocean of laws on the horizon, this thought unconsciously flashed through his mind.
"Wait, can we stay a little longer?"
Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind: "That's right! I can force the ocean of laws to stay in place by controlling the fundamental laws."
"Even if I stay for just one more second, I can absorb a massive amount of primal power, saving countless years for the future."
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan quickly integrated his will into the Ten Great Laws and seized control of the ocean of laws in the sky just as it was about to disappear!
In an instant, the ocean of laws that was about to disappear completely suddenly solidified, and then the semi-illusory projection became solid again.
"It works!"
A hint of joy flashed in Chen Yuan's eyes, then he frowned slightly. "However, I can't let it stay for too long, since the timing of the Origin's descent is also part of the rules governing the universe."
Even if he could fully control the power of the fundamental laws, he still couldn't go against the rules governing the universe.
Not to mention that because he had previously replicated a virtual universe intelligent core, Chen Yuan's control over the fundamental laws had dropped to 90%, making him even more unable to defy the power of the rules.
Fortunately, although he cannot defy the rules governing the universe, he can easily modify the operating logic within the limits allowed by those rules.
Fortunately, the timing of the "descent of the fundamental law" was within his control.
Because the length of this time is inherently flexible, the primordial universe will determine the time when the fundamental laws descend based on the circumstances of each person who breaks through to become a Universe Venerable, as long as it meets the basic transformation needs of these people.
Therefore, the timing of the arrival of the fundamental law varies slightly for different people, but in most cases, this time difference is very small.
The higher the quality of genes and divine bodies, the longer the fundamental laws remain.
However, even the longest possible duration of the descent will eventually have its limits. Chen Yuan can only make the duration of the origin's stay infinitely close to the true limit by controlling the fundamental laws.
Meanwhile, the Nether Sea clone took advantage of this time to fully absorb the power of the ocean of laws, and the transformation rate of the divine body became higher and higher. At the same time, since Chen Yuan broke through in the Primordial Secret Realm, and in the Thousand Treasures River area.
It should be noted that many powerful individuals from virtual universe companies reside here. A thousand years ago, a special area was designated as an experimental field for the "Primordial Secret Records," and the number of experimental personnel in the area was quite large.
Therefore, the huge commotion caused by Chen Yuan's breakthrough naturally attracted the attention of these powerful figures.
"Five-colored vortex, the fundamental law of time—someone has broken through to the Time Venerable realm!"
"This vortex is huge, it must be nearly a hundred billion kilometers wide."
"Such a powerful display! It's even more astonishing than when Lord Silverstorm broke through!"
"Look! What a vast divine kingdom!"
".....
Many powerful figures couldn't help but discuss it; there was no way around it, this breakthrough had caused such a huge stir.
The mere breakthrough to the Universe Venerable realm has generated an even more astonishing buzz than the breakthrough to the Universe Lord realm, leaving people wondering which divine being could cause such a sensation.
"This direction—is Chen Yuan making a breakthrough?"
In the central area of Qianbao River, in front of a magnificent palace.
Looking at the divine kingdom radiating endless light not far away, and the five-colored vortex spanning billions of kilometers above it, the Chaos City Lord couldn't help but shake his head: "Making such a big fuss, they didn't even bother to cover it up."
"This time, quite a few people have probably seen it, and the news will likely be discovered by the alien races."
"Chen Yuan probably doesn't care about these things," the Chaos City Lord muttered to himself. "With his strength, he was already this powerful even before breaking through. Now that he has broken through to the Universe Venerable realm, his divine power will increase a hundredfold, and his strength will probably be close to that of the true strongest being in the universe."
He wasn't referring to the strongest being in the universe who was at the sixth level and had no experience, but rather the strongest being who had truly entered the seventh level and whose secret techniques were perfected.
Within the original universe, Chen Yuan was no different from any other strongest being in the universe, because the upper limit of the power that both of them could unleash was the peak of the sixth rank.
With this level of strength, Chen Yuan really didn't care if the alien race discovered his information, since no one could pose a threat to him anyway.
"However—isn't it taking a little too long for this fundamental law to descend?"
The Lord of Chaos City glanced at the still-present five-colored vortex and blinked. "It's been almost half an hour. When I broke through to the Universe Venerable realm, the primordial laws only descended for a few minutes, right?"
Even though he has lived for trillions of epochs, he has never seen a case like this. You should know that when an ordinary immortal breaks through to become a Universe Venerable, the time it takes for the laws to descend is only a few thousand seconds.
"As expected of a genius recognized by the teacher, he is indeed extraordinary. Even the timing of the descent of the primordial law is different from ordinary people."
The Lord of Chaos City paid no attention to this unusual situation. Instead, he smiled slightly, feeling quite pleased with himself: "The stronger Chen Yuan is, the stronger the overall combat power of our human race is. It has probably already surpassed the other races."
"As long as Chen Yuan continues to grow, the entire primordial universe may one day be dominated by our human race."
On the other side, Chen Yuan didn't care about what others thought of him. He was currently focused on controlling the primordial law and doing his best to prevent it from disappearing.
But as time passed, the ocean of laws in the sky began to tremble slightly. "No, it's reached its limit."
The moment this thought crossed Chen Yuan's mind, he sensed that the fundamental laws above his head suddenly broke free from his control, like a spring stretched to its limit, and instantly disappeared into the sky.
At the same time, the five-colored vortex overhead gradually dissipated, and the sky quickly returned to its original clear state.
"It's over. It lasted a total of 41 minutes."
Chen Yuan sensed the conversion progress of his Netherworld Avatar and couldn't help but smile: "Not bad, the divine body conversion rate is 48%, which saves me at least two thousand years."
"The next step for the Nether Sea Avatar is to complete the transformation of its divine body, and then it can continue to expand outwards."
With this in mind, Chen Yuan didn't hesitate. He immediately recalled the divine kingdom into the optimization space and let the Nether Sea clone slowly transform into a divine body.
Ignoring the congratulatory emails and communication requests from all sides, Chen Yuan returned directly to the Shiyuan Palace. His clones then continued their cultivation, each performing their respective duties, while only his Earthling self opened the system panel.
"As expected, after achieving immortality, the system's functions are complete and will no longer be upgraded."
Chen Yuan stared at the normally displayed panel and muttered to himself, "Or rather, the system is already completely bound to me. The optimization limit will increase as my life level increases, so there is no need for additional upgrades."
Of course, not upgrading does not mean that the system has not changed; on the contrary, the data on the panel has indeed changed quite a bit.
For example, his spiritual realm, due to the leap in his life level, indirectly promoted the evolution of the sitting meditation method, which instantly increased from the initial proficiency level to 11.
At the same time, his mental will also benefited, rising from level 4 of the tenth rank to level 5.
The changes in strength are equally obvious. After all, the hundredfold increase in divine power means that even without the support of a supreme treasure, Chen Yuan's basic divine power level is equivalent to that of a universe master with a hundredfold increase in genes.
If he were to wear the Heavenly Mantle Battle Armor, he could reach a terrifying power of five hundred trillion times that of a World Lord, equivalent to a Universe Lord at the gene level of five thousand times!
Yes, five hundred trillion times, not one hundred trillion times the original.
After all, he has made progress over the years. His original Heavenly Mantle Armor has been optimized many times, and its "Power of Calamity Armor" has long since exceeded its original limit.
[Celestial Spear: A defensive treasure, Tier 10, Level 5]
[Power of Calamity: Can increase base strength by 100 times, with a maximum of 500 trillion times the power of a Realm Lord]
[Formless: Possesses the ability to simulate aura and alter physical appearance]
[Defense: Immune to attacks from a fifth-tier universe master, and reduces material attacks to one ten-thousandth (up to the ninth-tier true god level). This defensive power is synchronized with the soul.]
The reason he didn't continue optimizing the Heavenly Mantle Armor was because he was preparing to comprehend more True God-level runes, and then continue to upgrade the amplification of the Armor's power.
In any case, the Heavenly Mantle's defensive power is already sufficient. What is more important to him is the power of the Calamity Armor, because what Chen Yuan lacks now are precisely these basic powers.
Therefore, he will not continue to optimize the Heavenly Light until he has researched the power of the Calamity Armor to the next step, so as not to waste the optimization opportunity.
After all, starting from the tenth rank, the amount of primal energy consumed with each optimization becomes increasingly terrifying. Optimizing just one eleventh-rank secret treasure requires a full one hundred trillion energy!
Yes, compared to the tenth tier, the consumption of eleventh-tier items has increased a hundredfold. The optimization limit for tenth-tier items is one trillion, while the starting point for eleventh-tier items is one hundred billion.
"Such terrifying energy consumption means that relying solely on the primordial spirit to absorb the origin of the universe is far from sufficient."
Chen Yuan glanced at the bottom of the panel. With the breakthrough in his spiritual realm, the amount of primal energy he could absorb each day had increased to 5.5 million.
In other words, he can absorb 2000 billion units of essence every year, and it would take him a full five hundred years to optimize an eleventh-tier item!
And this is only the first level of the eleventh tier; the consumption will become increasingly terrifying from here on out.
"In that case, let's look at other changes."
Chen Yuan stopped worrying about optimizing the energy and instead looked at the top of the panel.
There, the "Primordial Key" section was flashing incessantly, seemingly notifying him of new developments.
Chen Yuan gently tapped it with his mind, and a message immediately flooded into his mind.
A moment later, he had finished sorting through this information.
"The Second Chapter of the Primordial Law of Life"
Chen Yuan murmured to himself, "The Hand of the Primordial Beginning!"
