Fluctuations of the Universe's Origin Laws

Jiang Yao, who was currently shackled in darkness on a desolate planet in the Yanhe Star System, naturally did not know that countless powerful beings in the primal universe had already been affected by his cultivation of the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God.

To be precise, Jiang Yao was no longer the human Jiang Yao at this moment; his entire consciousness was left with only two simple thoughts: "hunger" and "break the shackles."

After countless collisions against the dark shackles, Jiang Yao could clearly feel that the thing which had been wrapping and imprisoning him—something that had seemed indestructible—was finally loosening.

This encouraged Jiang Yao's consciousness, causing him to use his sharp beak to stab even more frantically at the dark shell that held him captive.

Finally, a crack pierced through the darkness!

With one more heavy strike, he finally broke through the darkness.

In an instant, this desolate, lifeless star system seemed to have birthed a second star!

It not only illuminated the planet he was on but also shone upon the nearby planets; if there were life on those nearby planets, they would have seen a second sun appear in the sky.

If there were life on the desolate planet where this "new star" was located... well, it was impossible for there to be life anymore.

This desolate planet, carefully selected under the instructions of the Envoy, had now turned into a hellscape, its surface glowing red and on the verge of melting into magma.

A creature with the head of a crane, the beak of an eagle, a long neck, and slender legs vented the fierce, long-suppressed frustration, joyfully experiencing its freedom!

At the same time, the primal universe origin, which had previously shown some abnormalities, returned to calm once again.

It was as if a piece of music had only played its prelude before coming to an abrupt halt.

All that remained was the confusion of everyone in the primal universe who cultivated the Path of the Beast God, the bewilderment of the three Ancestral Gods of the Ancestral God Sect, and the astonishment of the Mountain Sitting Guest.

There was also the Thunder Beast God, who was responsible for managing the sect's affairs and felt his "sleep" was interrupted, complaining unhappily: "If you're going to be born, be born! How can you hold it back halfway through?"

In the Virtual Universe, a white-robed man with eyes like jade, who governed the mysteries of the entire universe, felt a slight doubt at this moment: "It is rare for the primal universe origin will to be confused. Natural-born Beast Gods are the incarnations of the eight major laws and are naturally numbered. What kind of change occurred that forced it to gestate another one?"

In a remote corner of the human territory, the Bizhang that had finally seen the light of day knew nothing of all this. Its consciousness, like a hatchling that had just broken its shell, looked up to the sky and let out a crane's cry, announcing its first call!

But the hunger that followed made it set aside its joy; it needed food!

However, none of the nearby stars had the scent of food. The crane head turned to look around, then fixed in one direction.

Although it seemed a bit far away, it could vaguely sense the scent of food!

If Jiang Yao's consciousness were clear, he would know that the direction was the capital of the Lingtong Race of the Yanhe lineage, the binary star system where Yanhe Star was located.

On Yanhe Star, in an underground space of the Longshan Company's representative office in the Yanhe Star System, that mysterious Domain Lord who lived under an assumed name seemed to sense something.

It felt as if he were being watched by a hunter, making him feel like needles were pricking his back, but this feeling was fleeting, disappearing so quickly that it felt like a hallucination.

The mysterious Domain Lord was pondering this unusual sensation when he noticed someone walking to the door and knocking respectfully.

"Come in."

The person who entered was the master of this Longshan Building, Jiernuo, the chief representative of the Longshan Company in the Yanhe Star System.

"Is something the matter? Is there movement from the target?"

Jiernuo shook his head and said, "My lord, half a year ago, a D7 spaceship left the spaceport. That was the vehicle of the Lingtong Race's chief elder. Presumably, they have already left Yanhe Star. Furthermore, the Lingtong Race leader is also away, and there is no one to preside over the defense system. If you want to make a move, why not take this opportunity? With your realm, even using just a soul attack would be enough to deal with a mere planetary-level."

The mysterious Domain Lord sneered: "The Jiuyuan Holy Land has nailed a small branch in the heart of the Longshan Federation, and they haven't retreated for hundreds of epochs. Do you think the Jiuyuan Holy Land is stupid? Could they not have given them a trump card?

Do you believe that a vital place like Yanhe Star has no elders?

Besides, the two great holy lands have an agreement; whatever is done cannot leave behind evidence. If there is no evidence, there is room for maneuver. I don't want to kill that kid, but to capture him alive. Intercepting him on the way is the safest."

Speaking of this, the mysterious Domain Lord felt more and more that he had made the right decision. That feeling of being watched by something dangerous just now might have been some kind of hidden method of the Lingtong Race.

What could it be? Perhaps an E-grade laser cannon or some other weapon? Or was there something even more terrifying?

Jiernuo gritted his teeth: "My lord, I just received intelligence that the Lingtong Race seems to be preparing a welcome ceremony to receive an important guest. According to the analysis of the intelligence department, it is very likely a visitor from the Jiuyuan Holy Land."

The mysterious Domain Lord was startled: "Someone from the Jiuyuan Holy Land?"

Jiernuo nodded and said: "Usually, if someone from their main sect comes, it is rarely a Universe-level; it is usually a Domain Lord-level elder."

The implication was that if they didn't act now, they might not have a chance in the future.

After the initial shock, the mysterious Domain Lord was not as nervous as Jiernuo had imagined. Instead, he sneered: "Fortunately... the lord is cautious. Very well, the opportunity to kill a Domain Lord-level elder of the Jiuyuan Holy Land is not common."

The names of the people in the middle were glossed over.

Jiernuo was horrified; he didn't even put a Domain Lord in his eyes?

He knew that the gap between the strong and weak within the Universe-level was huge, and the gap between Domain Lords must not be small. Could this lord actually be a peak figure of the Domain Lord level, looking down on his peers?

The Bizhang stood on the planet that had turned into a sea of magma, wanting to spread its red and white wings, seemingly wanting to fly toward the place where there was the scent of food.

The Envoy, staying in the void space of the Taihuan Token, had already cursed "bad" the moment Bizhang turned its gaze toward Yanhe Star.

"Not good! I didn't expect it to be able to sense it from so far away?"

The Taihuan Token Envoy's expression was solemn, his small eyes squinting on his pig face. Then, the "Bizhang," which had already spread its wings halfway, suddenly froze. The feathers covering its body began to retract, its long neck began to shorten, and its sharp claws and eagle beak also began to deform and shrink.

Everything was as if time were flowing backward!

"Bizhang" seemed to try hard to struggle, but it still could not stop the process of its body deforming and shrinking.

In the next instant, Jiang Yao in human form appeared on the spot!

Jiang Yao looked at the sea of magma and fire all around him, still shaken. Just now, he seemed to have had a dream. In the dream, he was no longer Jiang Yao, and he didn't know who he was; there was only hunger and boundless ferocity that wanted to burn everything!

And everything before his eyes indicated that it was not a dream!

Rather, it was the result of him practicing the Nine Transformations of the Desolate God. Judging by the situation, he must have reached the introductory level, right?

Jiang Yao was about to speak when he heard the Taihuan Token Envoy warn him with a stern expression: "Don't lose focus!"

The moment his question surfaced in his mind, he suddenly felt a wave of hunger and ferocity surge from the depths of his soul once again!

He wanted food!

He wanted to incinerate everything before his eyes!

This impulse was so intense that his consciousness began to blur instantly, as if he were being submerged by a tsunami.

It was as if another will was hidden within his soul, rapidly devouring his self-awareness as Jiang Yao, his consciousness, and his emotions, replacing him bit by bit!

This will was simultaneously usurping Jiang Yao's control over his body.

His hands, feet, and every organ in his body were being stripped of their ownership and control one after another.

As this will, clamoring with hunger and ferocity, spread and seeped into every organ and even every cell, his body underwent subtle changes; his life gene level was restlessly undergoing a minute evolution and leap.

But Jiang Yao could no longer concern himself with any of this.

Xu Yuan... Xu Yuan...

Jiang Yao tried to enter the Xu Yuan Space, but his consciousness was so weak that this mysterious space, which existed between illusion and reality and was built upon his faith and will, failed to appear.

Just as he was about to be completely devoured by the other will, a call came from afar!

It was a familiar call, the call of the Taihuan Token Envoy.

"Jiang Yao! Jiang Yao!"

This call seemed to emerge from nothingness, injecting energy into his dying will and allowing him, on the verge of being completely submerged, to grasp a lifeline.

Jiang Yao's consciousness mustered the last of his will to let the Xu Yuan Space be born from the chaos, and in an instant, his consciousness entered the space.

He once again possessed power as supreme as a god.

Before he could even catch his breath, the familiar hunger and ferocity emerged from his consciousness like maggots on a bone!

That will had entered the Xu Yuan Space along with him!

The Xu Yuan Space seemed to have two masters, and with the appearance of these two wills, it stirred up raging waves!

Just as Jiang Yao fell into despair, a sudden flash of inspiration struck him, and his will swept across the surroundings of the Xu Yuan Space.

On the boundary membrane of the Xu Yuan Space, golden three-dimensional symbols appeared.

Yan Script!

These were the very Yan Script that Jiang Yao had endured immense pain to carve day and night!

They were the Yan Script that composed the shell of the axe used to open the Xu Yuan Space!

Only back then, under the influence of the supreme rules, the massive amount of information contained in these Yan Script from another source world had been distorted into massive amounts of junk data.

But now, he could actually understand them!

Every Yan Script contained infinite information, and this information poured into his consciousness in an instant.

And this information was actually the operating method for the final chapter of the Xu Yuan Opening, the Sealing Chapter!

The Taihuan Token Envoy had once given him the Opening Chapter and the Control Chapter of the Xu Yuan Opening, but when he asked about the final Sealing Chapter, the Envoy only said the time was not yet ripe.

So, had the time finally come?

Jiang Yao did not hesitate at all and immediately used his last remaining bit of will to operate the Sealing Chapter.

God-like power surged out from the Xu Yuan Space, spreading to every cell in his body in the blink of an eye, forcing out the ferocious will that had occupied his body.

Even the ferocious will deep within his soul and consciousness was swept up and pulled out by the power of the Xu Yuan Space.

However, this ferocious will did not intend to submit and began to resist violently.

Even Jiang Yao, possessing the powerful might of the Xu Yuan Space, felt it was extremely strenuous.

It was like a tug-of-war.

In the end, the sealing method he had just learned proved to be a step higher, forcing all the ferocious will throughout his body into the Xu Yuan Space, where it was then sealed by his god-like power.

Having expended all his strength to finally resolve this sudden crisis, Jiang Yao's consciousness regained control of his body. After scanning his entire body with lingering fear, he relaxed his tense nerves.

Jiang Yao was about to ask the Taihuan Token Envoy a question when he suddenly froze.

His consciousness swept across the surrounding space, not in terror at the planet beneath his feet, which had turned into a ball of magma.

But in shock at a truly miraculous discovery.

Jiang Yao didn't even need to calm his heart or enter a state of meditation; just by sweeping his consciousness through the void, he could perceive those rich, magical fluctuations dancing right by his ears.

It was as if the universe had suddenly revealed its true face before him.

That was—the Origin Law fluctuations!

The Origin Law of Fire fluctuations!

And that wasn't all.

There was another, less clear sensation—that was the Origin Law of Light fluctuations!

Above these two fluctuations of the Origin Law, there was an even more restrained and hidden fluctuation of the Origin Law of Space.

It was just that the fluctuation of the Origin Law of Space was quite vague, yet it could still be vaguely distinguished.

Besides the fluctuation of the Origin Law of Space, there was an extremely faint one that Jiang Yao had mistaken for an illusion several times, but he knew it wasn't—the fluctuation of the Origin Law of Time!

Jiang Yao's telekinesis delved into the magma, and immediately, a crimson magma sphere hovered in front of him; the magma flowed and then solidified, shaping itself into a dagger.

The dagger, carrying a crimson rainbow light, sliced through the void along a profound trajectory and shot toward the horizon.

Jiang Yao sensed his own body in disbelief; not only could he clearly sense the fluctuations of the Origin Law of Fire, but he had even gained an insight into a trace of the Origin Law of Fire!

Moreover, judging by the dense fluctuations of the Origin Law of Fire he sensed in the surroundings, stepping across the threshold of the Origin Law would only be a matter of spending a little more time for him.
