The Path to Eternity, the Divinity Eternal Rock

The journey back to the manor from the Temporal Interstice was calm and uneventful.

The commuter Flying Shuttle flew smoothly along its predetermined route, with the eternal artificial Sky Curtain and orderly buildings of the Origin Star visible outside the window.

Lin Yi sat quietly inside the cabin, closing his eyes to rest, but in reality, he was carefully experiencing every change within his body.

The initial formation of the Time Law brings not only the hidden mark between the eyebrows and a more direct perception of time, but also a subtle sublimation from the inside out.

He could clearly feel that his soul had become more condensed and stable, and even the 999 Star Core in his body seemed to have taken on a rhythm unique to time, with a significant improvement in the efficiency of energy flow.

However, just as a child who has just learned to walk inevitably stumbles, Lin Yi, who has just entered the threshold of the law, is not yet able to control this newly acquired power with ease.

That unique meaning derived from the laws of time is like a peerless sword that has just been unsheathed; even when it remains in its sheath, a Sharpness of its unparalleled sharpness inevitably dissipates.

Soon, the Flying Shuttle landed on the manor's landing pad.

As soon as Lin Yi stepped onto the lawn path, he saw Aurelia emerge from the main house.

Aurelia seemed to be about to go out. Her emerald eyes swept over Lin Yi, her steps faltered slightly, and her delicate eyebrows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

"Commander."

Aurelia walked closer, looked Lin Yi up and down again, and asked doubtfully, "You..."

Ellie's senses were indeed sharp.

Lin Yi thought to himself, but a peaceful smile appeared on his face as he met her gaze and said frankly, "I've gained some insights."

His tone was relaxed, as if he had simply completed a routine period of seclusion and made slight progress in his cultivation.

But as he spoke, he winked at Aurelia, and at the same time raised his right hand, gently placing his index finger in front of his lips, making a "shh" gesture.

Aurelia was slightly taken aback.

Some progress? Shh?

Is this a secret?

Based on her understanding of Lin Yi, if he had only made some progress, such as a breakthrough in a certain combat technique or a new idea for the application of a certain rule, he would usually tell her frankly, and even share his insights with the rest of the group in the hope of improving together.

Why the need for such a secretive demand for "secrecy"?

Thinking back to that strange feeling I had when I first saw him...

A flurry of thoughts flashed through Aurelia's mind, and her emerald eyes involuntarily widened slowly.

Could it be...?

But... how long has it been?

Breaking through the laws is incredibly difficult; it cannot be accomplished in a short period of time.

However, rational shock and doubt could not overcome the almost blind trust in Lin Yi deep in her heart.

She knew Lin Yi; he never lied, and he would never joke about something like this.

Aurelia stared blankly at Lin Yi, her red lips slightly parted as if she wanted to ask something, but Lin Yi had already withdrawn his gesture, his face still bearing that calm and breezy smile. He nodded to her, then turned around and walked unhurriedly toward his private training room.

His back was straight, his steps were steady, and his dark blue combat uniform outlined clean lines under the soft lighting of the manor.

Aurelia stood there, watching the receding figure, and suddenly gave up the idea of chasing after him to ask Lin Yi for clarification.

She knew that if she asked, Lin Yi would definitely tell her.

But there's no need to ask further.

A private training room.

Lin Yi did not begin his cultivation immediately, but pondered for a moment.

He really didn't intend to publicize his breaking of the rules before the finals.

Firstly, this concerns one of his biggest trump cards, which could have an unexpected effect at a crucial moment; secondly, revealing it too early might provoke a more intense reaction from the Spirit Race, adding more variables, so it's not worth acting rashly.

But there was one person he felt he should inform.

"Xuanji."

Lin Yi said, "Help me send a visit request to Senior Sister Thousand Illusions."

"Yes, Master."

Xuanji's illusory figure appeared, bowing in response to the command.

Thousand Illusions was not only his guide in getting him into the roster, but also passed on her skills on behalf of their master, which greatly helped him.

Both morally and logically, she should know that he has stepped into the threshold of the law.

Furthermore, he also needed to consult with Senior Sister Thousand Illusions regarding the key points and precautions for subsequent cultivation of the Time Law, as well as the planning of his future path.

Shortly after the request was submitted, Xuanji reported, "Master, His Majesty Thousand Illusions has approved your visit request."

"Looks like Senior Sister has some free time right now."

Lin Yi thought to himself, then without further delay, his consciousness sank into the Virtual Network.

The interplay of light and shadow.

When his vision cleared again, he found himself in a strange space that seemed both real and illusory, with light and shadow shifting around him.

This is still the private virtual space that Senior Sister Thousand Illusions often uses. The background is a constantly changing starry river and a hazy mist, while the ground is like a smooth mirror, reflecting the light and shadow flowing above.

However, when Lin Yi's gaze fell on the slender figure in front of him, he couldn't help but pause for a moment.

In my memory, when Senior Sister Thousand Illusions met him in the virtual space, she was basically dressed in a flowing fairy dress with wide sleeves. Occasionally, she would change into other gorgeous dresses, but she always maintained an elegant and otherworldly style.

But today...

Thousand Illusions stood there, wearing a well-tailored, moon-white embroidered cheongsam.

The cheongsam is made of smooth fabric, which outlines a graceful figure. It has a high collar, a diagonal placket, sleeves that reach the wrists, and a slit in the skirt that goes up to the thigh. On the feet are a pair of sharp black high heels, which make the figure look even more upright.

Most strikingly, her long, straight legs were encased in a layer of finely textured, subtly shimmering black stockings, creating a striking contrast with her moon-white cheongsam. In the hazy light and shadow, this added a touch of mystery and allure.

A cheongsam, high heels, and black stockings—this combination is striking and quite different from Thousand Illusions's usual demeanor.

Lin Yi's gaze unconsciously swept over the slit of the cheongsam before he immediately looked away, keeping his eyes down and his mind focused on his inner thoughts, while a bitter smile involuntarily rose in his heart.

He is no longer the clueless newbie he once was about the world of high-level cultivators, and he has a deeper understanding of the Illusory Law that Senior Sister Thousand Illusions mainly cultivates.

The Eternal Divinity of the Illusory Law naturally cultivate themselves in close connection with both "truth" and "illusion."

They are often eager to learn about all new things in the universe.

The reason is simple: the more "truth" one knows, the deeper one can control the "illusion".

This is why the tasks of conducting Civilization Advancement Assessment are all undertaken by deities of the Illusory Law.

Besides being more suitable for this task, the Illusory Law gods of the laws do not reject this work; new civilizations often bring them entirely new things and experiences.

Therefore, Senior Sister Thousand Illusions's previous interest in Xia Country culture was not only due to him, her junior brother, but also because of this factor.

Lin Yi even knew that, as a phantom deity, Senior Sister Thousand Illusions would subconsciously show a side that was familiar or might be of interest to those she was close to when they met, out of habit.

This is a sign of importance and closeness.

This made Lin Yi feel warm and happy.

but.

I'm happy as I am.

The flowing, wide-sleeved dress and classic hairstyle are symbols of ethereal beauty in the traditional culture of Xia Country. The senior sister wears them perfectly, making her look stunning.

But this cheongsam, high heels, and black stockings

Senior sister, what exactly did you see in the databases and online world of the Blue Star Civilization?

Have you somehow managed to discern the aesthetic preferences of men on Blue Star?

This has even created the perception that "all men on Blue Star like to watch this"?

Lin Yi felt that as a representative of the Blue Star Civilization, he was inexplicably "victimized" and as if he had been labeled with some kind of invisible tag, leaving him speechless for a moment.

Although he doesn't mind watching it.

Just as he was inwardly complaining, Thousand Illusions gracefully walked over.

She clearly noticed Lin Yi's momentary unease and his subsequent attempt to regain his composure, a mischievous smile flashing across her eyes.

"Junior brother, instead of secluding yourself to make final preparations for the battle, you've come to see your senior sister. Is there some difficulty in your cultivation?"

Lin Yi quickly composed himself and said seriously, "Senior Sister, you are wise. I do have some questions and would like to ask you for guidance. It concerns the key points and precautions for initial cultivation after breaking through from the Time Rule to the Law level."

He didn't directly say that he had broken through, but instead asked in a tone of seeking advice, leaving room for further discussion.

Upon hearing Thousand Illusions, Qianhuan's eyes, which seemed to hold endless dreams, shifted slightly, as if she were pondering for a moment.

She didn't answer Lin Yi's question immediately, but instead said softly:

"Junior brother, the most important thing right now is to prepare for the finals. I heard that Edith got the chance to enter the Time Tower. If that's true, she might become a formidable opponent for you. As for the plans for your future cultivation path, I'll discuss them with you in detail after the finals, okay?"

Her tone was concerned, clearly indicating that Lin Yi should focus on improving his immediate combat capabilities rather than prematurely considering the long road ahead after the laws were applied.

"Has Edith entered the Time Tower?"

Upon hearing this news, Lin Yi was not nervous at all; on the contrary, he was completely relieved.

He had heard of the Time Tower; although it was a sacred place for cultivation, he couldn't comprehend its rules.

Even if one cultivates within the Time Tower, and becomes incredibly powerful across the nine levels, what then?

Of course, besides this news, he also sensed the protectiveness and goodwill in his senior sister's words.

Lin Yi felt a warmth in his heart, and his smile became even wider.

He stopped beating around the bush and said directly, "What Senior Sister says is true. However, what I want to ask is precisely the key point we need to focus on right now. Because I have successfully broken through the Time Rule and entered the realm of laws."

After he finished speaking, the surrounding air seemed to fall silent for a moment.

Thousand Illusions's somewhat languid expression suddenly froze.

She looked straight at Lin Yi.

If she hadn't been in Virtual Network, she would have almost thought that she had gone wrong in her cultivation and was being backfired on by her own illusion, causing her to hallucinate.

Breaking the Time Rule?

How long has it been?

How many years has it been since he was nominated for the list?

Star Core level, possessing nine layers of Fusion Domain, are already rare, but to have Star Core level being able to successfully break through a superior rule to the threshold of a law is even more extraordinary.

This is an extremely rare occurrence in the nearly Epoch of records of the Pan-Spirit Alliance.

"Really?"

Thousand Illusions lowered his voice unconsciously, and the laziness and casualness on his face disappeared, replaced by a rare seriousness.

"Really."

Lin Yi did not hesitate at all.

Thousand Illusions fell silent.

She stared intently at Lin Yi, and the light and shadow flowing in the virtual space seemed to slow down as she remained silent.

A full seven or eight seconds passed.

Haha! Hahaha!

Thousand Illusions suddenly burst into laughter without warning.

At first, she chuckled softly, but then it turned into a hearty laugh. She even supported her slender waist with one hand, laughing so hard that she trembled with laughter. Her moon-white cheongsam outlined a captivating curve with her movements, and the skin covered by black stockings at the slit was faintly visible.

Lin Yi was somewhat bewildered by the sudden burst of laughter and could only stand there awkwardly.

At the same time, she secretly wondered, "Are all cultivators of the Illusory Law so emotionally volatile? Or is it just that my senior sister's personality is naturally so unpredictable?"

Thousand Illusions chuckled to herself for a while before her laughter gradually subsided.

"Hehe, junior brother, well done! Excellent!"

Thousand Illusions walked up to Lin Yi and patted him on the shoulder forcefully. "I used to feel a bit uneasy about owing that old guy something. But now it seems, haha, he's the one who owes me!"

"."

Lin Yi could only maintain an awkward yet polite smile, silently mourning for Xuan Yan for a second.

During the hundreds of years that Lin Yi had been a genius in the roster, he had also attended several gatherings within the roster and had heard a little about the somewhat subtle relationship between Thousand Illusions and her father, Xuan Yan.

Given Lin Yi's emotional intelligence, he naturally wouldn't rashly get involved in such matters. At this moment, he simply kept his eyes down and didn't dare to say anything.

Thousand Illusions chuckled to herself for a while before finally snapping out of it and reverting to her usual lazy demeanor.

She sized Lin Yi up and down. "Tsk tsk, Star Core level, beginner in the Law of Time, you're much stronger than I was back then. However, if you don't intend to publicize this, you might as well keep it a secret for now."

Lin Yi nodded. "Don't worry, Senior Sister, that's exactly what I'm thinking."

He never intended to cause a stir before the finals.

Although rationally speaking, even with the deepest foundation, the possibility of the Spirit Race pushing Edith, who had just entered the Ninefold Domain, to the level of laws within just three months was extremely slim.

But there's always a chance of something going wrong, so keeping a low profile and having a trump card up your sleeve is always beneficial.

"Yes, it's better to be cautious."

Thousand Illusions agreed, then her expression turned serious again. "Now that you've begun to step into the realm of laws, there are some key points about your future path that you really need to know in advance, so you're prepared."

With a wave of her hand, the virtual scenery around her changed.

The starry sky and mist faded away, replaced by a three-dimensional model composed of countless rays of light and symbols.

"Junior brother, now that you have entered the realm of time laws, there is no longer any fundamental hurdle for you to break through to the World Derivation level. You only need to accumulate source energy step by step, and when the time is right, you will naturally achieve it."

"But how much do you know about the Eternal Realm beyond the Evolutionary Realm?"

Lin Yi composed himself, carefully recalled the classics he had read, organized his thoughts, and answered earnestly:

"Replying to Senior Sister, Junior Brother previously focused on cultivating the rules, and only had a slight understanding of the Eternal Realm. I know that by breaking through a rule to the threshold of the law, that is, by reaching a comprehension level of more than 1%, one can trigger the resonance of the universe, using oneself as the foundation to open up the prototype of a world within the body, and achieve the creation of a derived world."

As he spoke, he observed Thousand Illusions's expression. Seeing her nod slightly, he continued, "After reaching the Realm of Evolution, one must comprehend the laws that form the foundation of Internal World to perfection."

"At that time, with the perfect law as the core, we can invoke deeper cosmic laws, elevating the initial world within our bodies into Micro Universe dependent on the Main Universe —that is, Divine Kingdom."

"From that moment on, as long as the Divine Kingdom does not fall, one's lifespan will be equal to that of the Main Universe, making one Eternal Divinity."

After listening, Thousand Illusions nodded. "What you said is the most well-known path and requirement for breaking through to the Eternal Divinity, that's right."

As she spoke, she changed the subject, pointing to the ever-changing 3D models around her.

In the model, rays of different colors and thicknesses began to appear around the cultivator, with one silver ray gradually becoming the brightest.

"However, some crucial points are often vaguely mentioned in classical texts, or are only revealed when one reaches a certain level of understanding."

Thousand Illusions slowly explained, "First, there's the importance of the foundation. When breaking through to the next realm, the more rules you master, and the higher the rank of those rules, the more stable your Internal World will be, the greater its potential, and the more solid the foundation of your future Divine Kingdom will be. The same principle applies when constructing your Divine Kingdom."

"The perfection of the main law is merely the minimum requirement for constructing a stable Divine Kingdom. In reality, the more laws involved in its construction, the more powerful the Divine Kingdom will be, the more abundant the divine power it can store and restore, the more perfect the rules of the Divine Kingdom itself will be, and its power in battle will naturally increase accordingly."

The model changed accordingly; the brightness of the rays representing the auxiliary laws increased, and the entire "Divine Kingdom" model composed of rays became larger, more stable, and more radiant.

Lin Yi watched carefully and understood.

The stronger the foundation and the better the materials used, the more sturdy the house will be. Its future potential and ceiling are partly determined at the moment the foundation is laid.

"However, there is a crucial problem here, one that has troubled countless geniuses of the realm."

Thousand Illusions's tone became serious, and the model changed again.

The silver light cluster representing the core law reached its perfect brightness, while a pale golden ray representing other laws beside it began to slowly increase in brightness. The entire "Divine Kingdom" model began to show unstable fluctuations, and the light of the silver light cluster was also disturbed.

"When attempting to construct Divine Kingdom," Thousand Illusions pointed to the pale golden light, "If one of your rules also breaks the law, then that law will interfere with the control and suppression of the core law, which serves as the absolute core and guiding principle."

"Such interference could very easily lead to the failure of the Divine Kingdom's construction, or even trigger a backlash from the laws, severely damaging itself."

Lin Yi's pupils contracted slightly; this content had not been mentioned in the previously mentioned, superficially described classic texts.

Thousand Illusions continued, "To successfully construct Divine Kingdom under these circumstances, there is only one path: you must fully comprehend this law, and then deeply integrate it with the First Law to form a dual fusion law that is more powerful than a single perfect law. Only with this as the core can you successfully construct an even more powerful Divine Kingdom."

The model demonstrated that the pale golden light also reached its peak, then merged with the silver light cluster with difficulty, ultimately forming a new, more complex and powerful light core interwoven with gold and silver. The Divine Kingdom model then stabilized and became even more magnificent than before.

"Therefore, within a finite lifespan, how to seize the opportunity to break through to eternity becomes an extremely risky subject."

Thousand Illusions looked at Lin Yi with a deep gaze.

"Many exceptionally talented beings in the realms, after perfecting the first law, feel they still have much life left. Therefore, in pursuit of a more powerful foundation for their Divine Kingdom, they will attempt to cultivate the second law."

"However, the second law becomes increasingly difficult as one progresses due to interference from the core law. Many people strive to improve the second law to 70% or 75%, but are unable to achieve perfection."

"The result was that they wasted their lives, eventually reached the end of their lifespan, and died tragically, leaving behind only regrets."

"So."

Thousand Illusions concluded, "Although after constructing Divine Kingdom, the difficulty of comprehending other laws increases dramatically due to the Divine Kingdom's enhancement of the core laws, and rebuilding and strengthening the Divine Kingdom also requires a huge price, most rational beings at the World Derivation level will choose to break through to Eternity after perfecting their core laws."

"First, one must obtain eternal life, and then, over a long period of time, slowly mend the deficiencies in the foundation of the Divine Kingdom. But this is extremely difficult and requires a great deal of resources."

Thousand Illusions sighed and said nothing more.

After listening, Lin Yi felt enlightened, but at the same time, a sense of awe arose within him.

It turns out that the path to eternity involves such perilous choices and struggles.

Pursuing the ultimate may lead to utter ruin; prioritizing stability may result in a flawed foundation that limits future potential.

The trade-offs involved certainly require great wisdom.

However, for the vast majority of practitioners, there's nothing to worry about.

It's already incredibly difficult to comprehend the main law before the end of one's lifespan; how could one possibly have the extra energy and time to gamble on the second law?

The right way is to first achieve eternity and then obtain an infinite future.

As for the foundation of the Divine Kingdom, there will always be ways to gradually repair it in the future; it's just a matter of how much it will cost, but it's better than death.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Sister!" Lin Yi bowed respectfully.

In the following time, Thousand Illusions gave Lin Yi some detailed pointers on the key points of cultivation after mastering the laws of time, such as how to consolidate existing insights more efficiently, how to initially try to integrate the power of the laws of time into combat techniques, and how to avoid misdirecting the power of time due to insufficient understanding, which could lead to backlash, etc.

Although these were just some basic precautions for beginners, they were a godsend for Lin Yi.

Finally, Thousand Illusions raised her hand, and a few glimmers of light fell into Lin Yi's virtual imprint. "These are some of my senior sister's books and notes on the cultivation of the laws of time. Although they are not top-tier inheritances, they should be of some help to you in consolidating your foundation and broadening your horizons at this stage. You can take them for reference."

"Thank you, Senior Sister." Lin Yi thanked her again.

"Alright, that's enough said." Thousand Illusions waved her hand and chuckled. "Go back and consolidate your strength, familiarize yourself with it. I'll be waiting for you to triumph in the finals."

"I will certainly live up to Senior Sister's expectations," Lin Yi solemnly replied.

As his consciousness returned to reality, Lin Yi opened his eyes.

He imported the ancient texts and materials given to him by Thousand Illusions into his knowledge base through Xuanji, intending to study them carefully in the future.

He then composed himself and focused his attention back on the present moment.

There is less than a month left before the departure date to the Spirit Race territory.

In these final moments, he didn't seek any improvement; he only aimed to familiarize himself with the newly formed power of the laws of time, achieving the most basic level of control and preventing the essence of the laws from leaking out.

Having made up his mind, Lin Yi sat down cross-legged, focused his mind, and began to carefully experience the time law imprint flowing with silver light within his body.

--

Meanwhile, in the endless void, in a Divine Kingdom of modest size and not particularly illustrious.

This Divine Kingdom lacked the eternal radiance and manifested rule of other Divine Kingdom; instead, it appeared somewhat simple, even somewhat "frugal."

The main body of the Divine Kingdom consists of a vast continent that emits a pale golden glow. The continent has mountains and rivers, and life thrives, but the energy concentration is only at the average level of a typical Eternal Divinity Divine Kingdom.

In the center of the continent stands a majestic temple, its style ancient and simple, imposing yet lacking in extravagant decorations.

At this moment, in a quiet room deep within the temple.

A middle-aged man dressed in dark blue ancient armor, with a resolute face but a hint of weariness, was hovering in front of a huge light screen that was constantly refreshing massive amounts of information.

He is the master of this Divine Kingdom, the Eternal Divinity of Human Race, Eternal Rock.

The name is simple, and the Divine Kingdom lives up to its name, known for its fortification and defense, but it is clear that it has not developed into a wealthy nation.

"Selection criteria: Priority will be given to Human Race, or stable areas bordering races friendly with the Pan-Spirit Alliance. Mission nature leans towards long-term garrisoning, resource point monitoring, and regional stability maintenance. Risk rating: Low or low-medium. Clan merit rewards: Required to be stable and substantial over a long period."

Eternal Rock's deep voice echoed in the quiet room.

"Yes, Master."

A virtual figure suddenly appeared beside Eternal Rock and bowed.

Subsequently, the Information Flow on the light screen began to decrease rapidly, and a large number of high-risk, high-intensity, or location-sensitive tasks were eliminated.

Eternal Rock watched the relatively "mild" tasks gradually appear on the screen, his resolute face showed no relief, but rather a hint of helplessness.

He subconsciously brought up the section in his personal account that represented the clan's merit balance.

1774 points.

Eternal Rock sighed inwardly, feeling even more exhausted.

"A glorious and Eternal Divinity? The lord of a race?"

He smiled bitterly to himself.

"I perished in the Ashen Corridor last time, and was fortunate enough to be resurrected thanks to the clan merits I had accumulated. But the price was almost the entirety of the clan merits I had painstakingly accumulated over countless Epoch!"

Clan honors, within the upper echelons of a clan, are a harder form of currency than any cosmic currency. They represent contributions to the clan and can be exchanged for incredibly valuable resources and inheritances that are unimaginable to outsiders. In addition, they also grant special privileges and protections.

He was able to be Eternal Rock because of this system where the corresponding clan merits were automatically deducted after a fall, and the Overlord would periodically intervene to revive him.

But after his resurrection, he was almost penniless.

The restoration of the Divine Kingdom and the acquisition of resources for personal cultivation.

Everywhere requires clan honors or their equivalent resources.

He couldn't just sit around and do nothing, not to mention he wanted to recover his strength as soon as possible.

Could we then explore those high-reward, high-risk hidden realms?

Eternal Rock subconsciously shook his head. He wouldn't go back to those dangerous places until he had accumulated enough clan merits again.

After all, he was not alone; he had a family and a civilization to take care of.

"The Main Universe is safer, at least much more stable."

Eternal Rock set a code of conduct for himself for the foreseeable future. "Take on some safe, long-term missions first, slowly accumulate clan merits, solidify the foundation of the Divine Kingdom, and then we'll see what happens next."

On the screen, the AI had already selected more than a dozen tasks that met his requirements.

Eternal Rock looked through the tasks one by one. The rewards weren't particularly generous, but they were safe, stable, and offered a steady stream of income.

These tasks are quite attractive to Eternal Rock, who urgently needs a stable source of income and to improve his situation.

His gaze lingered for a moment on one of the missions related to "guarding the resource zone of the Silver Glow Starfield," as he weighed the options in his mind.

The task offered moderate rewards and minimal danger; although tedious, it was perfect for him to focus on recovery.

"This one will do, GH-77473. Let's start with one from the 500th Epoch."

Eternal Rock extended his finger, preparing to tap on the light screen to confirm.

Just before his fingertips touched the light screen.

The edge of the light screen, the area representing the real-time update of the task list, suddenly refreshed without warning.

A new task notification appeared instantly at the top of the list.
