If any being were on the Sun Star, they would discover that time itself had vanished from it.

Even minor changes to the Sun Star could cause significant repercussions in the Primordial Era, yet time's disappearance from the sun had no impact. This was truly bizarre.

Neither the beings nurtured on the vast Archaic Stars, nor the Immortal Birds roaming the Heavenly Realm, nor the Exotic Beasts dwelling on the Great Earth, noticed that time was gone from the sun.

Even Great Experts like Hongjun, Rahula, Ancestor Dragon, and Ancestor Yin Yang, who were Quasi-Sages, failed to notice.

Meanwhile, within the core space of the Sun Star, a faint Power of Law emerged.

Different Laws possessed different Powers of Law.

Currently, this faint Power of Law represented time.

This was precisely the Power of Time Law.

That's right, Lu Yang had comprehended the Law of Time.

Judging by the Power of Law, his comprehension of the Law of Time was clearly not yet profound.

However, time was, after all, one of the Ten Great Laws.

Even a preliminary comprehension of the Law of Time was remarkable.

It was precisely because he had comprehended the Law of Time that his own time had vanished, yet it caused no external repercussions.

If anyone were to peer into the Primordial Time River now, they would be astonished to find the Sun Star missing.

Before long, Lu Yang also withdrew his Power of Law.

The Circulating Light Wheel Fragment transformed into a streak of flowing light and merged into Lu Yang's Primordial Spirit.

Having obtained the Circulating Light Wheel Fragment for only a few short years, he had successfully comprehended the Law of Time, and Lu Yang was in excellent spirits.

In the current Primordial Era, there were likely fewer than five individuals who had comprehended the Law of Time.

If not for the Circulating Light Wheel Fragment, it might have taken Lu Yang several Yuan Hui to comprehend the Law of Time.

At this moment, Lu Yang also reviewed the Laws he had already comprehended.

First was the Law of Fire, which he comprehended most deeply. Next were the Law of Light, the Law of Wind, the Law of Gold, the Law of Wood, the Law of Water...

As his comprehension of the Law of Fire deepened, it led to insights into related concepts, such as Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind, and the Five Elements, none of which were too difficult.

However, apart from the Law of Fire and the Law of Light, his comprehension of the other Laws was only preliminary.

Although Laws had their own hierarchies, the most suitable one was the best.

Therefore, when comprehending multiple Laws, one needed to choose a primary Law.

With his Origin/Foundation being the Sun Star, the Law of Fire was more suitable for Lu Yang than the Law of Time.

In fact, the Sun Star possessed multiple Laws, but the most powerful among them was undoubtedly the Law of Fire.

In a certain wilderness of the Primordial Era, birds sang, flowers bloomed, grass was fragrant, and clear streams trickled.

Lu Ya lived a carefree life, nourished by the wind and dew.

He casually picked a spiritual fruit and took a bite. Not far away, a water snake darted out from the splashing stream.

This water snake was originally less than a meter long, but it grew rapidly against the wind, becoming over a hundred meters long in an instant.

Its green scales reflected a metallic luster under the sunlight.

As the water snake opened its cavernous maw, revealing terrifying fangs, it spewed out black poisonous mist.

The poisonous mist spread, engulfing a large area and forming a 'Poison Domain'.

With a 'sizzling' sound, the flowers, plants, fish, and insects within the 'Poison Domain' were corroded into black water.

In terms of Magic Power, this water snake was close to the Heavenly Immortal level.

Lu Ya merely glanced at it.

The moment the water snake met Lu Ya's gaze, its body became immobile, and its consciousness froze.

Time itself had stopped for the water snake.

With his preliminary comprehension of the Law of Time, a mere thought could halt time within an area of hundreds of millions of miles.

Now, this water snake was trapped in a temporal stasis.

If the water snake's Magic Power were sufficiently strong, it could break free from this temporal stasis.

However, this water snake was too weak.

If it were a Golden Immortal level being in close proximity to Lu Ya, it might be able to break free from the temporal stasis.

But if it were hundreds of millions of miles away from Lu Ya, even a Mystic Immortal level being could break free from the temporal stasis.

Those unable to break free would be affected by time.

Years were like knives.

For a water snake like this, which had not yet attained longevity, if Lu Ya were to accelerate time, it would cause the water snake to age rapidly within a short period, eventually dying of old age.

And if he were to reverse time, the water snake would become younger and younger, its cultivation steadily declining, eventually transforming into a snake egg, or even regressing to a state before it was an egg.

When others cultivate avatars, it's difficult for the avatar's characteristics to perfectly match the main body.

But the Golden Crow contains the origin of the Sun Star.

As they originate from the same source, their compatibility is naturally extremely high.

The Golden Crow is powerful enough to transform into the sun; this alone is proof enough.

Thus, if the Sun Star comprehends a Law, the Golden Crow avatar can use it without any hindrance.

Regarding the Law of Time, which he had just begun to comprehend, although he understood it in his heart, it was still necessary to test its effects.

Looking at the water snake trapped by time, Lu Ya had a thought: "Time Regression!"

Instantly, the time that had been restraining the water snake stopped being frozen and began to reverse.

This was the reversal of years, the regression of time.

The power of the Law of Time was already apparent.

However, in reality, Lu Ya's application of the Law of Time was still rudimentary, far from being exquisite.

To strengthen his use of the Law of Time, he could only explore it slowly on his own.

But improving his Dao cultivation could enhance his application of Laws.

As for the level of his cultivation, it could affect the strength of the Laws.

Whether a Law was strong or not was indeed related to the Power of Law, which was the Law itself, but having strong Magic Power would naturally make its might even greater.

It was just like Innate Spiritual Treasures; the treasure's inherent power was one aspect, but the user's Magic Power was also very important.

Although the Power of the Law of Time was still weak, Lu Ya's Magic Power was not.

Looking across the Primordial Era, few below the Quasi-Sage level could compare with Lu Ya in terms of Magic Power.

If he borrowed the power of the Sun Star, Lu Ya could even surpass the Ancestor Dragon for a short period.

The water snake struggled, its eyes filled with terror.

Unable to break free from the restraint, under the regression of time, the water snake's Magic Power was draining, and its body was "juvenating."

If an aged being were subjected to Time Regression, they could revert to youth, and would surely be overjoyed.

Therefore, the Law of Time was also a form of Longevity Method.

Under the Heavenly Dao, Longevity Methods were not overly numerous, nor were they few.

Besides the Law of Time, there were actually other Laws that could also grant longevity.

After a moment, the water snake's Magic Power vanished, its body shrank, and it became a snake egg.

Lu Ya still had considerable power remaining.

He had only used less than ten percent of his Magic Power.

"Even if it were a True Dragon, below the Golden Immortal level, as long as it wasn't too far from me, by using the Law of Time, I could 'harvest' a Dragon Egg."

After this small test, Lu Ya's understanding of the limits of the Law of Time became clearer.

To be honest, it had little practical use for Lu Ya.

The main issue was that the Power of the Law of Time was too weak.

But to have strong Power of Law, one had to deepen their comprehension of that Law.

With his Grand Unity Primordial Spirit and Grand Unity Dao Fruit, deepening his comprehension of the Law of Time was difficult.

Therefore, in a short period, the Power of the Law of Time would not see significant breakthroughs.

Relying solely on Lu Ya's own power, using the Law of Time against someone at the Mystic Immortal level would require them to be close.

This was already beyond being merely unhelpful.

But then he thought, comprehending the Law of Time was not a bad thing.

Perhaps it could prove immensely useful at some point in the future.

With a flash of golden light, Lu Ya had already vanished millions of miles away.

After Lu Ya had been gone for a while, an old Daoist arrived, riding a beam of light.

This old Daoist wore a yellow robe; it was Ancestor Huang Tian.

Ancestor Huang Tian's Magic Power was around six billion years, and he had one foot already stepping into the threshold of a Quasi-Sage.

"The Power of the Law of Time, is it Shi Chen?" Ancestor Huang Tian mused.

Ancestor Huang Tian was also one of the Chaos Demon Gods from the Primordial Chaos Era. He was killed for obstructing Pangu's Creation, but his Primordial Spirit narrowly escaped and was reincarnated in the Primordial Era.

However, Ancestor Huang Tian did not intend to cultivate as a Chaos Demon God again. He wished to become a Sage in the Primordial Era and then seize Pangu's Dao Fruit.

Pangu shattered the Primordial Chaos, died opening the heavens, and transformed into all things. His entire Dao Fruit resided within the Primordial Era.

If he could obtain Pangu's Dao Fruit, achieving the Great Dao would be a smooth path.

Thinking this deep in his heart, Ancestor Huang Tian couldn't help but feel excited.

There were not a few Great Experts who harbored the same thoughts as Ancestor Huang Tian.

Among the first batch of Innate Beings in the Primordial Era, Huang Tian's origin was not inferior. As the saying goes, "Eastern Nine Energies, First Emperor Azure Heaven, Jade Glow Yu Lei, True Heaven Divides Measures."

Although Huang Tian had comprehended multiple Laws, they did not include the Law of Time.

After all, the Law of Time was not the most suitable for Huang Tian.

Upon sensing the Power of Time Law, the first entity Huang Tian thought of was Shi Chen.

In the past, during the Primordial Chaos Era, the most powerful Chaos Demon God was Pangu, and there was no dispute about that. However, the second most powerful Chaos Demon God was a matter of contention, and Shi Chen was one of the contenders.
