The Gap Between Divine Way Realms

Hanyu naturally wasn't going to fool him with the pill.

At most, he'd embellished its effects a little!

Those were small matters. Having a pill to give these bastards was already excellent; side effects like that were nothing worth mentioning.

That was how he saw it, anyway. He even wished the pill's side effects were more outrageous.

Ideally, they'd leave the man with no good ending. Then Hanyu might not even have to lift a finger.

Yuan Rong wasn't stupid. He let out a sinister laugh. "You probably don't know the rules of the Central Continent's world!"

That left Hanyu momentarily stunned. They'd been talking about the pill, so how had the conversation veered into the rules of the world?

Yuan Rong snorted and glanced at the pill before slowly speaking. "The rules of the Central Continent's world don't allow anything flawless to exist. The effects of your pill are too heaven-defying. Either it's a fake, or... there's a trap waiting for me to fall into."

What did flawless mean? It meant having no shortcomings, being perfect in every way.

And extending that idea further, no person, matter, or thing could enjoy only good fortune without suffering even the slightest misfortune.

Yuan Rong's own understanding of this rule might not necessarily be correct, but he knew that such a rule existed and was affecting this world.

He had once heard several people above him discussing the rule. Their views were largely similar, though they differed slightly in their interpretations.

Everything had two sides, yin and yang.

That was how they understood it.

Regardless of which interpretation was right, Yuan Rong couldn't afford to take this pill lightly.

"First of all, the pill is real. If we weren't trying to destroy the platform, I might not have given it to you."
