Mysterious Realm, River of Time

An epoch passed in the blink of an eye.

One yuan comprised twelve hui, each hui lasting 10,800 years. Thus, one yuan epoch amounted to 129,600 years.

Throughout this entire epoch, Bai Yu focused on comprehending Origin Laws, with no intention of leaving.

After all, as a mere Heavenly Immortal, he was practically at the lowest tier in the Primordial World. Who knew if he might die the moment he stepped outside?

Therefore, Bai Yu felt that when it was time to lie low, he absolutely had to lie low.

Lying low now was so he could live more wildly in the future... Ahem...

Besides, it had only been one epoch. Bai Yu did not care in the slightest.

One tribulation lasted fifty thousand epochs—that was 6.48 billion years!

So there was still a very, very, very long time before the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation erupted.

Aside from the World-Opening Great Tribulation, the Primordial World had experienced three tribulations: the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Witch-Demon Calamity, and the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. Each was separated by fifty thousand epochs.

As for the Immeasurable Tribulation, said to be capable of killing even Saints, it lasted 480 million tribulations—311.04 quintillion years.

Note, not hundreds of millions of years, but hundreds of millions upon hundreds of millions of years!

Even Heavenly Immortals did not face the threat of exhausting their lifespan. Heavenly Immortals in other worlds were another matter, but Heavenly Immortals in this Primordial World had already comprehended Origin Laws. How could they possibly still have a limited lifespan?

After all, a perfected Heavenly Immortal could control an Origin Law. In some mid-tier Primordial Worlds, that was the standard of a Saint...

[Host]: Bai Yu

[Origin]: Innate Manjusaka

[Realm]: Late Heavenly Immortal (Origin Immortal Dao System)

[Techniques]: Reincarnation Origin Scripture, Karma Origin Scripture, Destiny Origin Scripture

[Origin Laws]: Karma (70%), Destiny (60%), Reincarnation (30%), Time (10%), Space (10%)

[Origin Great Dao]: None

"Looks like my cheat is not overpowered enough." Bai Yu smiled.

Though he said that, the smile on his face made it clear that he was already extremely satisfied with these results.

"Unfortunately, most of my time went toward comprehending the Karma and Destiny Laws. I only comprehended the Time and Space Laws to ten percent." Bai Yu spoke helplessly.

Of course, he was simply taking advantage and still complaining.

One had to know that aside from the Origin Laws contained within Innate Inheritances, comprehending an Origin Law from nothing was far, far more difficult than comprehending an Innate Inheritance's law to perfection!

Unless one possessed some treasure, such as a spiritual treasure or spiritual root that carried an Origin Law. That would make it much, much easier.

But such difficulties did not exist for Bai Yu.

Others comprehended laws by peeling away layer after layer of Mysterious Mist.

But Bai Yu?

The Origin Laws took the initiative to reveal themselves, even actively embracing him...

Even if he did not deliberately comprehend them, Bai Yu had more or less gained some understanding of every Origin Law. It was simply far from ten percent.

After all, when they delivered themselves to his door, it was practically a free gift.

The joy of getting something for free—those who knew, knew!

"Tsk, the system's Enlightenment Function really is absurdly powerful..."

Even Bai Yu could not help clicking his tongue in amazement.

Rather than continuing to comprehend laws, Bai Yu stood up and looked around.

An epoch had passed, yet everything around him seemed unchanged.

With one step, Bai Yu vanished from where he stood and appeared ten thousand li away. With another, he directly appeared several tens of thousands of li farther away, as casually as if he were strolling through a courtyard.

The Spatial Teleportation Bai Yu used was merely a basic application of the Space Origin Law.

Although Bai Yu had not cultivated or created any Techniques and Divine Abilities, once he comprehended Origin Laws, divine abilities naturally took shape.

After all, techniques and divine abilities were merely manifestations of Origin Laws.

Those flashy spells and divine abilities, when traced back to their roots, were nothing more than methods of applying and expressing various laws and Great Daos.

Did Bai Yu need anything flashy?

Clearly, he did not.

Setting other worlds aside, in this Primordial World, battle was not about flashy divine abilities or spells. It was a direct collision of laws, a collision of Dao.

Of course, not everyone was like Bai Yu and could effortlessly comprehend all kinds of Origin Laws. Thus, for others, learning various spells and divine abilities was still necessary. It could both diversify their methods of battle and help them draw inferences from one example to comprehend Origin Laws.

"Though I really want to go out and see this world... I should lie low for now..."

Bai Yu glanced into the distance. Though he desperately wanted to go outside, Ferocious Beasts now roamed the Primordial World.

Ferocious Beasts would not reason with anyone. Encountering one usually meant death.

Still, with the speed granted by the Space Law, he should be able to escape...

"Back into seclusion. I'll set a small goal first: I won't leave until I reach Mysterious Immortal!"

Bai Yu immediately entered seclusion and began comprehending Origin Laws.

The process of comprehending laws was not tedious. Not only was it not boring, it was exceptionally enjoyable and fascinating.

And so, another hundred epochs passed...

All kinds of mysterious auras radiated from Bai Yu's body. The power of laws surged, mysteries manifested, and divine light glittered, as though he were about to evolve chaos itself...

Gradually, the mysterious auras drew back, the power of laws subsided, and multicolored radiance dispersed like smoke. Every phenomenon and mystery vanished.

Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes. They were deep as an abyss, their mysterious charm lingering for a long while, as though they could see through heaven and earth themselves.

"Is this the Mysterious Realm?"

Vaguely, Bai Yu sensed a purple river running through the entire Primordial World.

This was the River of Time manifested by the Primordial World. Profound beyond comprehension, it seemed to contain every mystery of all living beings and all things in the Primordial World.

At that moment, Bai Yu vaguely vanished from his original spot and entered the River of Time directly.

He sensed the mysteries of the River of Time, which was filled with an incomparably terrifying Origin Time Great Dao.

This was an Origin Great Dao, not an Origin Law.

Bai Yu had already comprehended the Time Law to ten out of ten, achieving perfect mastery of it, yet he still could not shake this River of Time by even the slightest fraction.

"The Great Dao has fifty; Heaven's evolution has forty-nine. Could the Primordial World contain forty-nine Origin Great Daos?"

Bai Yu made a conjecture, but it was only a conjecture.

Bai Yu knew very little about Origin Great Daos, but one thing was certain: this manifested River of Time in the Primordial World was absolutely the Origin Time Great Dao!
