Inside the study.

Lin Yan sat at his desk, picked up two suitcases, and opened one of them with a snap.

"Um?"

Lin Yan's eyes lit up.

Inside the suitcase were three metal books, their pages made of gold metal, with the title "Time-Space Essays" written on the cover in four simple Universal Language.

Simple words, yet they seem to encompass the universe and the starry sky.

Lin Yan only needed to see these four characters to vaguely feel his consciousness being drawn to them, and in a daze, he seemed to see scenes such as stars exploding and stars changing.

Lin Yan sighed, "As expected of a work written by the Lord of the Universe, even a mere copy in the Virtual Universe can easily influence consciousness."

The suitcase was filled with three books, each with golden metal pages. In fact, truly precious books all have similar metal pages because they are meant to last for millions of years, while ordinary materials would decay over time.

Books like "Time-Space Essays" were probably made entirely of G-class metal in their original form. G-class metal is far more precious than F9-class metal, but compared to this level of book, G-class metal is nothing.

Lin Yan couldn't help but feel excited. He picked up the first volume, opened the cover, and found thousands of pages inside. Although it was made of metal, it was very thin and flexible.

"The 'Time-Space Essays' consists of nine volumes, written at random, and contains a total of 10,829 secret techniques. If you can find all 10,829 secret techniques in these nine volumes, you will at least become Universe Country Lord, haha..."

The first page contains incredibly concise text.

But Lin Yan seemed to hear a flamboyant, unrestrained voice.

Lin Yan's brows relaxed as he turned to the second page, which contained some simple strokes. However, in Lin Yan's eyes, these strokes subtly transformed into a simple yet sharp sword technique.

"This is..."

What appears to be a random, unruly stroke is actually a simple yet sharp sword technique. Within the interweaving of these random strokes, Lin Yan can vaguely see nine different Conception, perfectly merging into a sword technique that contains the Space Origin Law.

In that instant.

The Void Space within Lin Yan core.

The Green Line Devouring Worm are his clones, but each has its own consciousness carrier. For example, Lin Yan's own consciousness carrier is the soul in his sea of consciousness.

The consciousness carrier of the Green Line Devouring Worm is the ten thousand Soul Source within the body.

The consciousness carriers of these two bodies were separated from the soul in the crystal core, and are actually exactly the same as the soul in the crystal core. However, the crystal core is Lin Yan's true lifeline. Once the crystal core collapses, Lin Yan will be truly doomed.

Because the two are one and share a common consciousness.

Therefore, when Lin Yan saw it, the Green Line Devouring Worm also saw it.

"Buzz!"

The two pairs of Blade Wings behind the Green Line Devouring Worm Clone vibrated at a high frequency, perfectly matching the Space origin. Instantly, the spirit and will were immersed in it, and the two pairs of forelimbs, which resembled War Blade, did not need any weapons and directly began to practice swordsmanship.

The forelimbs of the Green Line Devouring Worm are similar to swords and knives, being its sharpest weapons. Whether slashing or thrusting, it can do so at will.

The sword technique it practices is an interpretation of the Space Origin Law, guiding it to comprehend and improve through the artistic Conception contained within the sword technique.

Although the Universe Origin Law are extremely profound, the first three illustrations in these three volumes are the most fundamental and basic parts, which dissect the Universe Origin Law and break them down into 108 different mysteries.

These 108 most basic mysteries are constantly combined in various complex ways, eventually forming a vast set of laws!

This is what follows the third picture.

The difficulty of the "Universe stream" lies in the fact that it not only has 216 fundamental mysteries, but also begins with a preliminary combination of space and time, which naturally makes a huge difference in difficulty.

And now—

What Lin Yan needs to do is to first thoroughly understand all the secret techniques in this first volume, and then analyze the deeper Law essence.

Lin Yan opened the first volume of "Time-Space Essays" and diverted a sliver of his consciousness to look at the contents, without focusing his attention on them.

The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone comprehends the contents.

His main body opened another briefcase. The first three volumes of "Cosmic Combination Theory" were much thinner than "Time-Space Essays," and had pure black metal pages.

Lin Yan turned to the first page.

"The Cosmic Combination Theory" consists of nine volumes, progressing from simple to complex, and contains a total of 11,364 secret methods. With this book, I hope that future generations can understand the essence of my "Zhou Ji".

Lin Yan couldn't help but chuckle.

If the creator of "Time-Space Essays" is unrestrained and free-spirited, then "Cosmic Combination Theory" appears rigorous and comprehensive.

If the creator hadn't written it on the first page, there would be 10,829 secret techniques in "Time-Space Essays," which later generations couldn't find in full. It was written haphazardly and was very disorganized.

"The Cosmic Combination Theory" proceeds from simple to complex, and its structure is much more rigorous. It also contains tens of thousands of secret methods, but it is more concise.

Lin Yan continued flipping through the pages.

On the second metal page, there were only a few simple wavy lines, but in Lin Yan's eyes, it looked like a Dark Spear suddenly thrusting out, its tip swirling with endless vortexes of dark currents.

"Exquisite marksmanship, swift and precise."

"This thrust can affect time, causing the flow of time to become disordered, making it difficult to judge the point and time of the spear's impact, posing a huge threat to the enemy." Lin Yan sighed, "Compared to this, apart from the Extreme Divine Weapon, which I still have some merit in, the application of other laws is really too crude."

He was, after all, using the "Po Mirror Clan" secret technique to cultivate the Extreme Divine Weapon, so overall he was on the right track. However, since he was exploring on his own, there were many things he didn't understand, so his "Void River" secret technique had quite a few problems.

As for the Fourth Layer, "Dragon of Sun and Moon," it was only barely activated.

His understanding of the Time Origin Law was actually quite profound, but he lacked a more insightful perspective and deeper understanding in its application. The same problem existed with Bolan, but Lin Yan had a shortcut to the Extreme Divine Weapon, while he did not.

The secret methods recorded in this "Cosmic Combination Theory" appear to be quite perfect and exquisite.

Lin Yan's Law Comprehension is still in its early stages. Some secret techniques are completely incomprehensible and seem utterly incomprehensible. He can only barely manage to study the rest, so his comprehension is relatively slow.

However, he did not find it difficult to comprehend the contents of the first volume of the Time Law. With just a little thought, he was able to understand the profound Conception of the secret technique.

"I never imagined that this secret technique could be used like this!" Lin Yan turned to the next page, his spirits lifted.

"Incredible."

"So that's how it is! Yes, that's it!"

The metal pages were turned one by one, each page containing an Attack Secret Technique, whether it was close combat, Controller, illusion, or Mental Attack... Each one was exquisite, making Lin Yan even more shocked.

This was the shock he felt when he saw just the tip of the Iceberg of the Universe Origin Law, as if he were in the vast ocean and he was just a tiny speck of dust.

Lin Yan absorbed the knowledge from "Cosmic Combination Theory" with great eagerness, comparing it with his own understanding. Many problems that had troubled him were naturally solved, and he comprehended one secret method after another.

The Great Existence who created "The Cosmic Combination Theory" opened an unprecedented window for Lin Yan, allowing him to systematically organize his Law Comprehension. The various secret techniques in his mind also gave him many profound insights into how to fight.

Lin Yan needs to absorb and digest the methods of using the Time Origin Law in these secret techniques, and build his own framework for applying these laws, in order to truly and perfectly integrate them into his battles.

This first volume contains thousands of secret techniques. As Lin Yan progressed, he gained a deeper understanding of them, and when he looked at the secret techniques again, he could comprehend them almost instantly.

He and his Green Line Devouring Worm Clone were completely immersed in comprehending the two profound metal books, and their progress was beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Time passed day by day.

Suddenly--

Lin Yan's pupils contracted, and he immediately stopped trying to comprehend it, his eyes filled with surprise.

The Green Line Devouring Worm Clone stopped comprehending the "Time-Space Essays," Blade Wings on its back immediately stopped vibrating, with a faint green light emanating from its compound eyes.

Call!

Within one of the ten thousand Soul Source inside its body, a dazzling sphere of light contained an extremely tiny Black Hole. Its consciousness instantly surged into it, descending to a distant place already countless light-years away.

Earth.

The planet's core.

A green seed sprouts a dense network of roots that extend far into the earth, constantly trembling.

Like the pulse of the earth.

These are the Green Line Devouring Worm clone in a "Rooting" state.

Apart from its unaffected consciousness, the rest of its body resembles an embryo in the process of development; this is the 28th day since it entered the "Rooting" state.

During these 28 days, nothing unusual happened. However, Lin Yan was quite patient and only kept a sliver of consciousness before paying no further attention to the matter.

But--

From that very moment, things changed.

Earth was once transformed by "Mountain Master," and life born on Earth, especially during the embryonic development process, is subject to the invisible influence of the entire planet.

The soul is inherently special, and progress in the realm of the mind is the most rapid.

Therefore.

Lin Yan then used the Green Line Devouring Worm's talent to "Rooting" and tried it out. On the 28th day, he finally felt the invisible influence on the Earth.

Call!

A strange life force was drawn in and merged into the soul within him. Lin Yan felt himself entering an incredibly wondrous state, feeling completely relaxed, as his soul underwent a slow transformation.

But that's not all...

As Lin Yan's soul came into contact with this strange life force, his consciousness seemed to leave his body. He vaguely sensed from the unseen strange Life energy that something seemed to be hidden behind it.

His consciousness was completely absorbed in meditation, trying to find the unseen source of Life energy through contact with strange Life energy.

It felt like traveling through a pitch-black fog, with no end in sight.

Suddenly, a sliver of light appeared in the dark clouds, like pale moonlight, its faint glow flickering.

The faint glow within the black mist resembled the framework of a mysterious pattern, but Lin Yan couldn't discern its exact form.

At this moment—

Hiss...

Lin Yan was shocked to discover that the mysterious Black Lotus inside his crystal Soul Core was slowly blooming at this moment, its pure black petals gradually opening.

In the center of the Mysterious Black Lotus, a black eye floats.

Nine uneven gold lines were drawn on the Black Eye, exuding the supreme majesty of an ancient god. At this moment, Lin Yan suddenly realized that he could see what was behind the black mist.

It was an incredibly complex pattern, not a two-dimensional one, but a three-dimensional Secret Pattern Diagram.

Three thousand crystalline threads, overlapping, intertwining, entangled, and rotating, form two intertwined Vortex Passage, somewhat resembling the double helix structure of DNA.

"What's this?"

Lin Yan was utterly shocked.

Could this be the secret behind the "Mountain Master's " transformation of the Earth? But what exactly is this Mysterious Black Lotus? And what kind of creation is the strange Black Eye in the center of the black lotus?

His mind was a complete Chaos at that moment, and he couldn't make heads or tails of it.

The Black Eye suddenly shone with golden light, and the nine golden lines on them, which were originally unconnected, gradually connected together, with wisps of golden energy surging out from them.

This golden aura fluctuated continuously, slowly changing shape, and eventually formed that incredibly complex Secret Pattern Diagram.

Boom!

The Secret Pattern Diagram suddenly shrank and then returned to the Black Eye, radiating light for a moment.

The next moment—

The Mysterious Black Lotus remained in a bud, its consciousness sensing the strange life force, completely immersed in the endless Black Cloud.

Not a single ray of light can be seen.

The three-dimensional Secret Pattern Diagram I had just seen in my mind completely disappeared, and I couldn't remember any details whatsoever.

If it weren't for the fact that his memory wasn't affected in any other way, Lin Yan would almost have thought that what he just experienced was just a hallucination.

He tried again, but there was no response.

Consciousness returned to the body, and the invisible influence of the earth continued to slowly transform his soul, but the transformation was very slight, barely noticeable.

Lin Yan frowned slightly, pondering the scene that had just occurred.

After a moment's thought, he extended his mental energy once more to the Mysterious Black Lotus on the soul vortex, sensing its presence.

"Um?"

Instantly, a massive torrent of information surged into his soul. This process was very long, lasting for two whole days before it was fully completed.

During the process, because he reached the limits of his soul, he even found it difficult to maintain his ability to think.

"This is..."

Lin Yan put the previous events behind him and stopped thinking about things he couldn't understand. This Mysterious Black Lotus was System Reward that broke through to the Cosmic level, and he figured he would only have a chance to figure out the truth behind it once he reached a higher level.

Our focus right now is on the present.

He sensed the extra memories in his mind, which were the Soul Amplitude Secret Method from the complete set of Soul-type secret technique in "Heavenly Demon Transformation".

When cultivated to its highest level, it can amplify the Soul Amplitude a hundredfold.

It's titled "Desirelessness"!
