A Yuanhui passed in the blink of an eye.
One yuan consisted of twelve hui, and each hui lasted ten thousand eight hundred years. Thus, one Yuanhui lasted one hundred twenty-nine thousand six hundred years.
Throughout this Yuanhui, Bai Yu had been comprehending the Origin Law. He had absolutely no intention of going out.
After all, he was just a tiny Heavenly Immortal, one of the weakest levels in the Primordial World. Who knew if he might step outside and immediately kick the bucket?
So Bai Yu felt that when it was time to lie low, he absolutely had to lie low.
Lying low now was all for the sake of going wild later... Ahem...
Besides, it had only been one Yuanhui. Bai Yu didn't care in the slightest.
One Calamity lasted fifty thousand Yuanhui, after all—that was six billion four hundred eighty million years!
So there was still a very, very, very long time before the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation broke out.
Apart from the World-Opening Great Tribulation, the Primordial World had experienced three Calamities: the Dragon-Han Initial Tribulation, the Witch-Demon Calamity, and the Investiture of the Gods Tribulation. Each Calamity was separated by fifty thousand Yuanhui.
And the Immeasurable Tribulation, said to be capable of claiming even Sages, lasted an incredible four hundred eighty million Calamities-that was 31.104 billion billion years.
Note, not billion years, but billion billion years!
Even Heavenly Immortals didn't face the danger of their lifespans running out. The situation for Heavenly Immortals in other worlds was unknown, but in this Primordial World, Heavenly Immortals had already comprehended Origin Laws. How could their lifespans possibly run out?
After all, a perfected Heavenly Immortal could control one Origin Law. In some mid-tier versions of the Primordial World, that was the level of a Sage...
[Host]: Bai Yu [Root]: Innate Manjusaka [Realm]: Late Heavenly Immortal (Origin Immortal Dao System) [Cultivation Methods]: 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 isn't powerful enough," Bai Yu said with a smile.
Though he said that, the smile on his face made it clear that he was already very satisfied with these results.
"Too bad I spent most of my time comprehending the Laws of Karma and Destiny. I only comprehended one-tenth of the Laws of Time and Space," Bai Yu said helplessly.
Of course, he was just being ungrateful after getting a great deal.
You had to know that, aside from the Origin Laws granted by Innate Inheritance, comprehending an Origin Law from nothing was far, far more difficult than fully comprehending a law granted by Innate Inheritance!
Unless you had some kind of treasure, such as a Spirit Treasure or spiritual root that bore an Origin Law, which made it much, much easier.
But those limitations didn't apply to Bai Yu.
That was because when others comprehended laws, they had to peel away layer after layer of Mysterious Mist.
And Bai Yu?
The Origin Laws revealed themselves to him of their own accord, even taking the initiative to embrace him...
Even without actively comprehending them, Bai Yu had now grasped at least a little about all kinds of Origin Laws-just far less than one-tenth.
After all, when they came knocking on your door, it was practically a free handout.
Everyone knew the joy of getting something for nothing!
"Tsk, the system's Enlightenment Function is just ridiculously powerful..."
Bai Yu couldn't help but click his tongue inwardly.
Without continuing to comprehend the laws, Bai Yu rose and looked around.
A Yuanhui had passed, yet everything around him seemed unchanged.
He took a step, vanished from where he stood, and appeared ten thousand li away. With another step, he appeared tens of thousands of li away, moving as casually as if strolling through a courtyard.
The Spatial Teleportation Bai Yu used was merely a basic application of the Space Origin Law.
Although Bai Yu hadn't cultivated or created any Techniques and Divine Abilities, once he comprehended the Origin Laws, divine abilities formed naturally.
After all, divine abilities and techniques were merely manifestations of the Origin Laws.
Those flashy spells and divine abilities, when traced to their roots, were nothing more than ways of applying and displaying various laws and Great Daos.
Did Bai Yu need anything flashy?
Obviously not.
Leaving aside other worlds, in this Primordial World, battles weren't decided by flashy divine abilities and spells. They were decided by direct clashes between laws, by clashes between Daos.
Of course, not everyone was like Bai Yu, able to comprehend all kinds of Origin Laws with ease. So, for everyone else, learning various spells and divine abilities was still necessary. It could enrich their methods in battle and help them draw parallels, aiding their comprehension of Origin Laws.
"Although I really want to go out and see this world, I'd better keep lying low for now..."
Bai Yu glanced into the distance. He really wanted to go out, but Ferocious Beasts were running rampant in the Primordial World right now.
Ferocious Beasts wouldn't reason with you. Encountering one basically meant death.
But with the speed granted by the Space Law, he should be able to get away...
"I'll continue cultivating in seclusion. Let's set a small goal: I won't go out until I reach the Mysterious Immortal realm!"
Bai Yu immediately began cultivating in seclusion and comprehending the Origin Laws.
The process of comprehending laws wasn't dull. It wasn't boring at all-instead, it was incredibly satisfying and fascinating.
And so, another hundred Yuanhui passed...
All kinds of mysterious auras radiated from Bai Yu. The power of laws surged, mysteries manifested, and divine light shimmered, as if chaos itself were about to be formed...
Gradually, the mysterious aura drew inward, the power of laws subsided, and the colored radiance drifted away like smoke. All the phenomena and mysteries disappeared one after another.
Bai Yu slowly opened his eyes. They were deep as an abyss, and their mysterious resonance lingered, as if he could see through the entire world.
"So this is the Mysterious Realm?"
Bai Yu faintly sensed a purple river stretching across the entire Primordial World.
This was the River of Time manifested by the Primordial World. It was profoundly mysterious, as if it contained all the mysteries of every living being and thing in the Primordial World.
Just then, Bai Yu vanished from where he stood in a haze of indistinctness, entering the River of Time.
He sensed the mysteries of the River of Time, filled with the 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-tenths-to perfection-yet he still couldn't move this River of Time by even the slightest amount.
"The Great Dao is fifty, while Heaven derives forty-nine. Could it be that the Primordial World contains forty-nine Origin Great Daos?"
Bai Yu had a guess, but it was only a guess.
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 Time Origin Great Dao!
