After Ji Ning Clone finished speaking, Lord Gan Wu performed a secret technique before him, demonstrating the Earth Attribute and Space Origin Laws.

With a distant point of his finger, invisible energy gathered and instantly formed a stone stele.

A closer look revealed a majestic painting upon the stele, with endless mountain ranges, each possessing its own distinctive splendor and bearing.

When viewed as a whole, the painting seemed like a single entity. Yet when viewed in sections, it separated into different parts, the whole divided into thirty-six portions.

"I have divided this image into thirty-six parts. Each painting fully displays one of the first thirty-six mysteries of the Space Law, while when combined, they contain the complete Earth Origin Law. Study it carefully!"

Ji Ning Clone had already become completely immersed in the image. He did not hear anything outside, and even the consciousnesses of his two clones far away on Earth and Qiu Long Star were drawn over, joining him in comprehending the laws.

Seeing Ji Ning Clone wholly absorbed in his comprehension of the laws, Lord Gan Wu was not annoyed. With a wave of his hand, he severed the space containing Ji Ning Clone and the stone stele, transferring it to a side hall.

Thus, Bai Yue, immersed in his comprehension of the laws, did not notice the passage of time. In the blink of an eye, half a month passed.

With all three clones comprehending simultaneously, bolstered by the Dao Fruit, and with his already profound understanding of the Space Law, he thoroughly grasped all of its first thirty-six mysteries in one stroke.

Though his Earth Attribute Origin Law had also improved, the progress was not as great. Strictly speaking, this had originally been his primary attribute, but after possessing the Kinkaku Giant Beast, the Metal Attribute and Space Origin Law had overtaken it.

Now that he had the opportunity to encounter Lord Gan Wu, who had completely comprehended the Earth Origin Law, he naturally had to pick it back up.

Having read the original work, he knew that the origins of the various laws had no hierarchy among them. All had differentiated from the Chaos Law, and thus could naturally be traced back to their source to comprehend the Chaos Law anew.

What the immortal experts called fully comprehending a Lower Law might, from a higher perspective, amount to merely entering the door—only reaching the advancement requirement of this cultivation system.

In the cultivation system of Swallowed Star, the World Lord Level was a special period. Because of World Power, one became close to the world origin, making comprehension of all kinds of laws more than a hundred times easier.

After becoming immortal, however, due to factors such as transforming one's body into a divine body of a particular attribute, one would develop resistance toward other laws, making further comprehension extraordinarily difficult. Therefore, many geniuses comprehended the higher laws opposing their own attributes to an extremely profound level during the World Lord stage, allowing them to become powerful immortals immediately upon breaking through.

In the original work, Hong's teacher, Time World Lord Luo, was a typical example. Of course, he had nearly overplayed his hand and almost died of old age. This showed from another angle that Luo possessed only a trace of talent; even after becoming immortal, he had only barely reached Marquis-ranked.

Based on this characteristic, Bai Yue planned to have Ji Ning Clone and his Kinkaku Giant Beast clone break through to the World Lord Level as soon as possible and comprehend more laws. He had always had a feeling that this would bring him tremendous benefits.

There was no such thing as biting off more than one could chew. That was something said only of mediocrities.

When one had the ability to do better, one naturally had to strive for it. Besides, he had a cheat.

In his plan, while at the World Lord Level, all Ten Great Origin Laws had to at least gain the acknowledgment of their respective Origin Laws, so that his comprehension after becoming immortal would not be affected.

"Master, while you were immersed in comprehending the laws, your teacher, Lord Gan Wu, sent word that you should leave on your own after waking. Once you have accumulated more inspiration and questions, you may return to the side hall to comprehend this stone stele or seek his guidance."

After he awoke, the voice of his Intelligent Assistant, Long Kui, rang out in his mind, informing him of the news from this period.

He bowed toward the main hall, then left the side hall and returned to his own Floating Island along the way he had come.

After returning, he naturally had to turn this enormous gain in law comprehension into strength. The several secret manuals Lord Gan Wu had recommended to him were, like the Space-Time Notes Luo Feng had purchased in the original work, manuals that analyzed laws. Yet they also contained secret techniques created by their authors, practical applications of the laws.

After comprehending the essence of the laws, cultivating these secret techniques hidden within the manuals naturally yielded twice the result with half the effort, and everything proceeded very smoothly.

While Ji Ning Clone diligently improved himself in the Gan Wu Secret Realm, his Earthling true body was preparing to return to Earth.

He had not forgotten that the disaster-ridden Earth would soon receive Nuolanshan's adventurers.

In the blink of an eye, more than half a year had passed since he left Earth and entered the universe. Luo Feng, who had entered the universe alongside him, had already made several trips back and forth, purchasing large quantities of slaves and supplies as he pushed forward the plan for humanity's evolution.

This had also been discussed with him beforehand. Bai Yue had even provided Luo Feng with substantial funds, and the Black Dragon Mountain spaceship they had used to enter the universe had been directly given to Luo Feng as well.

When Luo Feng entered the universe for the second time, he also brought Hong and Thunder God to Qiu Long Star, where they moved into the estate Bai Yue had purchased under his identity. This could be considered their base on Qiu Long Star!

After cultivating for this period, the two had reached Planet Level ninth rank. Thunder God, whose talent for Gene Energy cultivation was superior, was only one step away from breaking through to the Star Level.

Unlike Bai Yue, who rarely returned to Earth, Luo Feng had been much more cautious due to his frequent travels, renting several warehouses on another planet called Bailan Star as transfer stations.

Because the plan for humanity's advancement on Earth was too important, the four strongest people on Earth would all return this time to endorse the plan.

"Having witnessed the vastness of the universe and the dark, unfathomable hearts of men, only upon returning to Earth can one feel peace in one's heart. This is our home." Through the exterior projection of the spaceship Bai Yue had just purchased, Hong looked at the azure Earth. As the elder brother in both age and state of mind, the usually quiet Hong voiced his sentiment.

"Yeah! Even planets like the Heimeng Race's, filled with Star Level experts, can be enslaved. We have to become stronger!" Thunder God, who had always been somewhat carefree, was unusually serious.

"Don't worry. As long as we become strong, Earth's safety will be assured in the future." Though he said so, Bai Yue still felt uneasy. He did not care much about the approaching Nuolanshan adventurers.

What worried him was the attention of humanity's upper echelons. Fortunately, this could be avoided. In the original work, Great Axe Creator's investigation had been drawn because Hong had cleared more than twenty levels of Illusion Island in one go. Combined with Luo Feng, an unparalleled monster, appearing before him, Earth's uniqueness had been exposed. As long as they avoided such circumstances, they could conceal Earth's special nature to some extent.

It looks like I'll have to find time to tell Luo Feng and the others about this.

"With Luo Feng's and your help, I can already feel that I'm about to break through to the Star Level. I can't keep letting you two stand at the front for everything. I'm Thunder God, after all."

"I'm close as well. If Earth is to become powerful, it cannot rely on just one or two people." Hong spoke as well.

Although they had received Meteor Star's inheritance from Luo Feng and cultivation resources and funds from Bai Yue, as two of Earth's foremost experts in the past, the pride in their hearts drove them to continuously grow stronger. They did not want to become a burden!
