Chaos Rules, True Origin Realm!

Lin Yi discovered that even after cultivating to the level of a Dominator, one can still be speechless when necessary.

Seeing Lord Li demeanor, he subconsciously followed the other's lead.

Before Lord Li uttered the Universal Epoch," he had already silently devised several plans in his mind.

If Lord Li said within one hundred Epoch, then he could only refuse on the spot. One hundred Epoch —to go from a Sovereign to the late stage of the True Source Realm —even with his Spiritual Enlightenment Qi, it was absolutely impossible.

It's hard to say no, but it's better than agreeing and not being able to do it.

If it were a thousand Epoch, he would hesitate. With the trump card of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi, he still has a certain degree of confidence.

Despite his hesitation, he will most likely grit his teeth and agree.

If it's ten thousand Epoch, then it's basically a sure thing.

As it turned out, what Lord Li said was... fifteen Universal Epoch.

It should be noted that one Universal Epoch is equal to one hundred million Epoch.

Fifteen Universal Epoch is equivalent to fifteen billion Epoch.

From the moment he embarked on his cultivation journey until now, how long has it actually been? The timescale of fifteen Universal Epoch is simply unimaginable to him.

And Lord Li called "urgency" was actually fifteen Universal Epoch...

Lin Yi suddenly recalled an interesting story he had heard from his Parents when he was chatting with them long ago, shortly after he became a Venerable Lord.

Back then, besides traveling around, my Parents also enjoyed playing large-scale virtual reality games.

In a game, there was a wealthy and idle interstellar merchant who, on a whim, formed a guild.

One day, guild members suddenly started complaining all over the game world that the guild owed them subsidies for the siege preparation team.

The interstellar merchant then summoned the leader and asked him face-to-face how much was owed.

The member said, "Eighty."

The interstellar merchant said, "Eight hundred thousand Star Crystal?"

Okay, I'll transfer it to you now.

The member said it was Star Yuan, and there was no Wan.

It's said that the interstellar merchant's expression at that moment was absolutely priceless.

His Parents told him this story as a casual conversation at the dinner table, and he just smiled and didn't think much of it.

Now, Lin Yi felt he could suddenly understand the feelings of that interstellar merchant.

This is roughly what is meant by differences in understanding.

Of course, while Lin Yi understood, he was certain that fifteen Universal Epoch was nothing to him, but he didn't rush to show it.

On the contrary, he stood still, his brows furrowing little by little.

Since Lord Li considers "reaching the late stage of the True Source Realm in fifteen Universal Epoch" as a task that requires special guidance and that only a two-star mark holder can possibly complete, it means that in Lord Li's understanding, even a genius with a two-star mark will experience a significant slowdown in cultivation speed after entering the True Source Realm.

Reaching the late stage of the True Source Realm with fifteen Universal Epoch is a rather challenging goal.

For Lin Yi, this was actually a piece of extremely valuable information.

He needs to carefully plan what cultivation speed he should maintain in the future.

The information in the Blood Crystal given by Mantaji was limited, and it didn't mention at all what the breakthrough speed of the geniuses in the Chaos Cosmic Sea would be like. Therefore, he decided to find an opportunity to check the performance of those geniuses in the Chaos Cosmic Sea in the future, and after determining a reasonable range, decide what level of progress he should show.

He couldn't appear too extraordinary, lest people suspect he possessed some illogical secret.

Therefore, he remained silent for a moment, then said solemnly, "My lord, I will do my best."

Lord Li looked at the expression on Lin Yi's face and nodded slightly. If Lin Yi had agreed without hesitation, he would have thought it was unreliable. But Lin Yi's cautious attitude made him think even more highly of him.

"Go." Lord Li waved his hand, saying nothing more.

Lin Yi bowed slightly and turned to walk towards the bridge gate.

The Light Sphere of Zero Three floated silently beside him, the arched gate slid open in front of him, and then slowly closed behind him, once again isolating the light of the blood-red crystal core behind him.

Walking back the way he came, the cold light on both sides of the corridor was still a deep blue, and Lin Yi's thoughts were racing.

The upcoming cultivation arrangements, the rhythm of Spiritual Enlightenment Qi consumption in the Purple Mist Space, the priority of assigning tasks to the clones, and the order of the various Origin Law —all these things formed a clear framework in his mind.

Back in the training room, the hatch closed behind me.

Lin Yi sat down cross-legged, took a deep breath, and closed his eyes again.

The rest of the voyage went smoothly.

After leaving the outermost fog of the Black Mist Sea, the Bloodrage-class Assault Ship seemed to have sailed from a shallow shoal full of reefs into the open sea.

The warship stopped shaking violently, and the roars of the Black Silence Beast or the sounds of armor being torn apart no longer came from outside the bulkheads.

Zero Three's voice would occasionally ring out in the badge, reporting on the voyage's progress, but most of the time, the training room was as quiet as a secret chamber sealed for eternity.

An Epoch has passed.

Lin Yi opened his eyes, and the crimson-gold flame deep within his pupils burned even brighter than before.

The Origin Law of Fire, fully mastered.

He felt the perfect meaning flowing through the Fire Origin Law meridian within his body, and without pausing for long, he stood up.

During this time, his three clones had already finished learning and understanding all the Origin Law he needed to master. Since he had nothing else to do, he planned to exchange for the True Source Realm Beginner's Guide and let his three clones study it in advance.

Therefore, he did not continue his seclusion, but instead contacted Zero Three through the badge.

"Please take me to see His Excellency Mantaji."

The Light Sphere of Zero Three quickly floated over, carrying him through the corridor to Mantaji.

At that moment, Mantaji was standing in front of a floating light screen, and without turning his head, asked, "What is it?"

"I hope to exchange for an introductory manual for the True Source Realm; I've already submitted the exchange application," Lin Yi said.

Mantaji turned around, glanced at him, but didn't ask any further questions.

He raised his hand and conjured an information crystal, which then slowly floated to Lin Yi's front.

After receiving the crystal, Lin Yi bowed slightly in thanks and returned to his cultivation room.

Back in the cultivation room, he crushed the crystal and absorbed it. A massive amount of information flooded into his consciousness like a river bursting its banks; it was all the basic knowledge about the True Source Realm.

From the transformation process after the nine Origin Law are fully integrated, to what the "Chaos Rules" unique to the True Source Realm are, and then to how to use the Origin Law that one has fully mastered as a starting point to touch the first wisp of Chaos Rules before that barrier.

Lin Yi closed his eyes and quietly absorbed this information.

After a while, he opened his eyes and frowned.

It's difficult, extremely difficult.

The so-called Chaos Rules are essentially a kind of underlying logic of the Chaos Cosmic Sea that transcends the Origin Law.

It is no longer about controlling a single element, no longer about understanding a ball of fire and mastering the Origin Law of fire, or understanding a piece of soil and mastering the Origin Law of soil; rather, it is about a fundamental understanding of the entire chaotic operating mechanism.

If comprehending the Origin Law is like groping for a rope in the dark—though you can't see it, at least you know where the rope is, and you can find a clue by feeling each strand—then the Chaos Rules are like building a bridge in the void without blueprints.

You don't know where the bridge piers are, how wide the bridge deck should be, or even whether the other side of the river actually exists.

You can only rely on the catalyst formed by the fusion of the nine Origin Law to constantly probe, strike, and adjust in the vast chaotic void.

Only when luck and skill are both in place can one touch that almost imperceptible Chaos Rules.

He recognized every single word in the theoretical framework presented in the information crystallization, but when put together, it left him completely bewildered.

This level of abstraction far exceeded his expectations.

However, Lin Yi was not in a hurry. In any case, he still had several Origin Law that he had not fully mastered. Therefore, he had his three clones comprehend them at the same time, while he continued to comprehend the remaining Origin Law.

Time continued to pass.

Five Epoch later, Lin Yi mastered the Origin Law of Water.

The fusion of water and fire within his body created an unprecedented sense of balance, allowing his overall strength to leap forward once again.

But he did not stop, and continued to devote himself to comprehending the next system of Origin Law.

Eleven Epoch later, the Origin Law of Earth was also perfected.

During this period, another piece of good news arrived.

Frost Rainbow successfully broke through to the True Source Realm.

Upon hearing the news, Lin Yi suspended his seclusion and went to the warehouse area to offer his congratulations.

Frost Rainbow stood in a corner of the warehouse area, the afterglow of her breakthrough still lingering on her light blue robe, the cuffs fluttering even without wind.

When she saw Lin Yi approaching, her expression remained unchanged; she simply nodded slightly.

"Congratulations," Lin Yi said.

"Mmm," Frost Rainbow responded, a slight smile playing on her lips.

However, this was already quite a happy reaction for Frost Rainbow.

Zhaoyue was also present.

Her aura was much stronger than when she had just broken through, and the tear in her armor at her waist had long been repaired.

She and Frost Rainbow exchanged a few words in hushed tones, as if sharing some experience from someone who had been through it all.

Lin Yi didn't listen much, and after offering his congratulations, he turned and went back to his cultivation room.

Nineteen Epoch have passed.

The Origin Law, fully mastered.

At this moment, the nine Origin Law resonated within his body in a wondrous way, and only the final fusion was needed to complete the puzzle.

In the third thousand standard year following the start of the twentieth Epoch, Lin Yi completed the fusion of the nine Origin Law, reaching the perfection of the Cosmic Source Realm.

Without pausing for a moment, Lin Yi immediately began to expand his inner universe.

He still has a considerable stockpile of treasures for rapidly expanding Divine Kingdom, including those from various races' supreme rulers and overlords... the variety is complete, and the effects are astonishing.

With the accumulation of abundant resources, the internal universe began to expand rapidly from its original medium size.

The density of galaxies is increasing, the spatial barriers are pushing outward layer by layer, and the vast cosmic membrane emits a dull, resonant sound.

More than five thousand standard years later, the inner universe has completely transformed from medium-sized to large-sized.

Lin Yi let out a long breath in the cultivation room; he had completed the final step of the Cosmic Source Realm.

But the threshold to the True Source Realm still awaits him.

He checked the progress of his three clones' comprehension; they had only learned about forty percent of the <True Source Realm Beginner's Guide>.

Lin Yi did the math and decided he couldn't wait any longer.

He directly instructed his clone to utilize his Spiritual Enlightenment Qi.

Since it wasn't convenient for him to have his clone transfer Spiritual Enlightenment Qi to his Main Body while he was on this warship, he might as well just use it as is.

As the Spiritual Enlightenment Qi burned fiercely, the obscure and almost incomprehensible Chaos Rules and theories in the "True Source Realm Beginner's Guide" were dismantled layer by layer.

Just over two thousand standard years later, he had fully mastered the <True Source Realm Beginner's Guide>.

Lin Yi closed his eyes, and a complete picture appeared in his mind.

The "initiator" formed after the fusion of the nine Origin Law is like nine fingers simultaneously gripping an invisible door, and the Chaos Rules are the world behind that door.

The problem is that using these nine fingers to knock on the door requires finding an extremely precise angle and rhythm of force; otherwise, even if you smash the door open, it won't help.

This is the bottleneck in breaking through to the True Source Realm.

Lin Yi spent another two hundred military merits to have Mantaji give him a face-to-face instruction.

Mantaji's explanation was brief to the point of being blunt, but every sentence hit the nail on the head.

"Using the Nine Origin Law as a starting point to touch the Chaos Rules doesn't mean you should use the Source Origin Law as a crowbar to pry things up, but rather to use Origin Law to resonate. The Chaos Rules themselves are there; what you need to do is make them feel your presence and make them willing to respond to you. How do you make them respond? By resonating with the same frequency. The better your foundation in the Nine Origin Law, the closer the resonance frequency will be to the fundamental frequency of the Chaos Rules, and the greater the probability of successfully touching them."

Lin Yi listened, seemingly lost in thought.

After giving his instructions, he went to see Zhaoyue and Frost Rainbow.

Zhaoyue had just finished a joint training session, her helmet tucked under her arm, and her face still showed signs of fatigue.

But when she heard that Lin Yi had come to ask for advice on the details of breaking through to the True Source Realm, she immediately found a corner to sit down and told him in detail about every obstacle and pitfall she had encountered during her breakthrough.

From the mental state one should maintain when first encountering the Chaos Rules, to how to adjust after a failed breakthrough, every detail is explained in great detail.

The situation is similar for Frost Rainbow.

She spent more time, so she has a more personal understanding of how to force a breakthrough in an environment that is not conducive to it.

Lin Yi wrote down every key point she made.

When Lin Yi offered to reward the two with military merits as a token of his gratitude, Zhaoyue and Frost Rainbow exchanged a glance and then looked at him with an expression that seemed to say, "Are you looking down on me?" Zhaoyue even put her helmet back on, pretending that she didn't want to talk to him anymore.

Frost Rainbow was even more decisive, turning around and leaving.

Lin Yi was both amused and exasperated, and had no choice but to give up.

He kept both favors in his heart.

After completing all the preparations, Lin Yi returned to the cultivation room.

The hatch closed.

He sat down cross-legged and closed his eyes.

Within the Purple Mist Space, Spiritual Enlightenment Qi began to burn fiercely, pushing his understanding of the Chaos Rules to a higher dimension.

And so he spent thirteen Epoch in deep seclusion.

His entire consciousness was immersed in that long and arduous resonance with the Chaos Rules.

The invisible hand formed by the fusion of the nine Origin Law knocked on the door of the Chaos Rules time and time again.

A thousand taps, ten thousand taps, countless taps and adjustments.

Each failure drained his energy, but it also brought him one step closer to the right rhythm.

Finally, in the 13,600th standard year of the seventeenth Epoch, the invisible hand found the right rhythm.

The nine Origin Law resonated simultaneously in an instant, and the high-frequency vibrations spread throughout Lin Yi's entire sea of consciousness.

On the other side of that barrier, the Chaos Rules finally responded.

A wisp of extremely faint Chaos Rules, like a thread of light emerging from the depths of the endless void, slowly touched the deepest part of his soul.

At that moment, Lin Yi's entire soul trembled.

He had reached the threshold of the True Source Realm.

Lin Yi slowly opened his eyes, then raised his right hand, and a faint wisp of Chaos Rules power silently appeared in his palm.

Mastering the 1% of Chaos Rules.

True Source Realm, achieved.
