This peculiar feeling, along with the distinct spatial-temporal fluctuations, gave him a new understanding of the Space-Time Law.

Such an active state of the Space-Time Law was rare, likely found in very few places throughout the entire Primeval Universe.

After about five or six minutes, the discomfort in his mind disappeared.

Looking out the spaceship's window, he saw that the outside was dim, with occasional Chaos Qi drifting by.

In the far distance, he could faintly see the heavens and earth occasionally splitting apart. He could even see large numbers of strange Secret Patterns flowing along the edges of the rupturing space, like threads connecting them. On the threads, Secret Patterns drifted, as if a loom were weaving the heavens and earth larger and larger.

"What is this?" Ji Ning's clone sensed the strange Secret Patterns flowing on the crystalline threads at the distant spatial rifts.

The others on the spaceship also looked up, sometimes closing their eyes to ponder, other times watching intently.

The spaceship continued to fly.

They frequently saw cosmic spatial rifts and those strange thread-like Secret Patterns...

"Stars and planets have lifespans, and this Universe also has a lifespan, though it is incredibly long," the man who seemed to be the captain said with a smile. "This Initial Universe is a new Universe in its 'Universe's Beginning' phase. In its initial stages, the Universe is constantly perfecting and forming, and the rules of the Universe Origin's operation will manifest outwardly."

"Those cosmic spatial rifts, constantly repairing themselves, are the rules of the Universe Origin's operation, containing various Origin Laws."

Reading about it in a book and experiencing it firsthand were worlds apart. His comprehension, already enhanced by the Dao Fruit beyond ordinary people, coupled with his ability to prove his understanding, allowed him to feel closer to the origin of the laws than ever before, even more directly than when using his analytical abilities, just by observing the outwardly manifested Universe Origin Laws at the spatial rifts in the sky!

Moreover, what he saw and heard was simultaneously transmitted to his other two clones. Compared to this clone, both the Kinkaku Giant Beast and the Moshazhu Race clone, which he had re-transformed into after the preliminaries for easier comprehension of the Space Law, were much faster at comprehending laws. And being in the Primeval Universe, due to the difference in time flow, he had more than three times the time others had!

After flying for some more time, the spaceship stopped above an ancient city. The captain then beckoned everyone to disembark. As soon as they stepped out of the spaceship, they heard the discussions of those who had disembarked earlier.

"As expected of a sacred land for human cultivation. Setting aside other things, just this environment alone surpasses many others!" Bai Yue marveled inwardly.

"This Initial Universe feels special."

"It feels comfortable."

"Yes, very comfortable." Listening to the discussions around him, he felt the gentle external energy absorbed into his body, making him feel warm all over. His body's cells seemed to be breathing, as if he had returned to his mother's embrace.

Bai Yue looked down at the ancient and majestic city below. As a city built within the Initial Universe, it exuded a sense of profoundness.

A black streak of light flew from the distance.

"Greetings, everyone. I am the reception envoy of Chaos City," a deep voice sounded. The black-robed man, whose head was covered in blue scales, flew over and stopped, smiling. "This city is called Chaos City. It has existed for longer than most of your Universe Kingdoms! It is currently managed jointly by the Virtual Universe Company, Giant Axe Fighting Arena, First Bank of the Universe, Cosmic River Bank, and Universe Mercenary Alliance."

Led by the black-clothed attendant, they arrived on the streets of Chaos City. The black-clothed attendant leading the way continuously introduced information and precautions about Chaos City to everyone.

Everyone listened attentively. However, few of those who could come here were foolish. Having paid such a great price, how could anyone dare to cause trouble?

Moreover, with just a slight sensing, they could feel the aura emanating from the people of various forms in every small building. Each one was incredibly powerful, even if it was just an unconscious pressure they emitted.

"There are many small buildings in Chaos City. If the door is pale white, it means there is no owner," the reception envoy pointed at a door. "As long as you place your hand on the door for a moment, the sensing system within the door will automatically activate, turning the door a dark gray. You will automatically become the owner of this residence, and your information will be automatically recorded. Each person can only choose one residence."

As they walked, the black-clothed attendant continued his explanation. Soon, they reached the end of the street, where the City Lord's Mansion was located.

It was a majestic and imposing structure about three hundred meters high. From afar, one could see the three most dazzling words in the universal language of the Universe on the City Lord's Mansion—"City Lord's Mansion." Looking at the inscriptions, one couldn't help but be drawn in, as if the inscriptions themselves contained a self-contained space, a self-contained Universe, pulling one's spirit into the cosmic space within the inscriptions.

Sensing this, Bai Yue quickly averted his gaze. It was because his other two clones were not affected that he was able to recover from his daze so quickly.

Looking at the people around him who had fallen into a trance, they stood frozen in place, eyes vacant.

After everyone recovered, the black-robed attendant continued to lead them inside.

As they walked, he continued to explain, saying solemnly, "Within our Chaos City, there are the most precious 52 Chaos Tablets. Each Chaos Tablet records a large number of mysterious patterns and so on. These 52 Chaos Tablets represent 52 Great Daos of cultivation, directly leading to the ultimate peak Daos! If one comprehends a Chaos Tablet, they will directly become a true super-being in the Universe, making it effortless even to establish a Universe Kingdom."

As soon as he finished speaking, it sparked intense discussion among most people.

Soon, they continued their progress and arrived at a spacious corridor. The walls of the corridor were engraved with large images.

"There are 52 rubbings of images hanging on the corridor walls. Each image corresponds to a Chaos Tablet. You can observe these images first. Although the images cannot convey the aura contained within the Chaos Tablets, they can still allow you to feel a little. You should observe these 52 images... and then decide which Chaos Tablet to choose," the black-robed attendant said.

After listening to his explanation, Ji Ning's clone, along with the others, slowly browsed the images in the corridor. In front of each image, they dared not linger, as the time allotted by the black-robed attendant did not allow for unlimited delays.

These 52 images depicted different things: trees, water droplets, mountains, rocks... each containing an aura that allowed one to connect with the laws.

Time quickly passed. The black-robed attendant came over to register everyone's chosen Chaos Tablet one by one. Soon, it was Ji Ning's clone's turn!

"I choose the Yanshan Chaos Tablet," Ji Ning's clone replied with certainty to the black-robed attendant. After the guidance of Lord Gan Wu, his progress in the Space Law and Earth Origin Law had been significant. He immediately took a liking to the Yanshan Chaos Tablet. Although he had strong feelings for other Chaos Tablets, he still chose the one that suited him best.

Back in the Gan Wu Secret Realm, through Lord Gan Wu and the several secret manuals he provided, he had learned about the Yanshan Chaos Tablet. It could be inferred that Lord Gan Wu had also followed this path in his early years.

After registering their chosen Chaos Tablet, the black-clothed attendant led them to a plaza to wait. Since no one had chosen to comprehend the Yanshan Chaos Tablet that Bai Yue had chosen, he was immediately arranged to go and comprehend it.

Following the instructions, he entered a large corridor with the others. The corridor had individual large secret rooms on both sides, with the names of each Chaos Tablet engraved on the doors.

"Mother Ancestor," "Giant Axe," "Dragon Walk"...

Furthermore, in front of each bronze door stood a kind-faced old man. The old men in front of each bronze door looked exactly the same.
