There are normally nine paths to becoming the Lord of Universe: time and space, Gold-Space, Wood Space, Water Space, fire space, Earth-Space, wind time, lightning time, and light time.
Zhou Zheng chose the Space-Time Path.
That is, mastering the complete Time Law and Space Law is sufficient.
Before breaking through to the level of the Lord of Universe, Zhou Zheng relied on his previous accumulation of knowledge about spacetime in the Chaos Void and the opportunity to enter the Origin of this universe at any time. He directly began to study the " Space-Time Origin rule system".
Having only just grasped the Space Law, Zhou Zheng realized that he had overlooked some things as he broke through to the Lord of Universe.
These things are not crucial, at least not to Zhou Zheng right now, but they are the foundation of the path of laws.
"After all, I have come to another Source World. The universe of this Source World is based on laws. Although the path of Fusion Law and the mysteries of rules have many similarities, they are different systems. I must solidify this foundation!" Zhou Zheng thought to himself.
The Lord of Universe is a state of accumulation. At the Lord of Universe stage, Life Technique's utilization of the laws deepens continuously, which is the process of consolidating the foundation.
"There's a reason why the Lord of Universe are divided into five ranks in the Original Universe. Even without considering factors like treasures and Divine Body, the difference in how they utilize the laws is enormous even at the same level!" Zhou Zheng immediately understood this.
The realms of the Lord of Universe True Form; they all master the Space Law or some kind of Fusion Law. Even if someone masters more, it will not cause a qualitative change in their realm.
However, even at the same level, based on the utilization of the laws, the strength is different. Fifth-Order Universe Master is normally the limit for Lord of Universe in the Original Universe.
But Zhou Zheng knew that if the Lord of Universe was truly defying the heavens, he could create an eighth-order secret technique based on the fundamental laws.
Generally speaking, this is something only a senior True God can create! True God create things by reaching a higher realm, while the Lord of Universe creates things by understanding the laws; the difference is huge.
"A genius who can create an eighth-order secret technique has understood the laws to the extreme. So, once such a genius breaks through to the True God, he can immediately reach the realm of the Void True God!" Zhou Zheng thought to himself, but he did not choose to challenge this limit.
The reason is simple: Zhou Zheng had long since forged his own path. Time and space, Slaughter, Destruction, Eternity —these four paths were ones he could never forget, no matter how hard he tried. If he were to create a secret technique, a simple one would be fine, as he could restrain himself from creating it solely with the laws. However, if it were a very complex secret technique, he would subconsciously incorporate the mysteries of the four paths, making it impossible to completely isolate them.
Moreover, Zhou Zheng created a sword technique at the peak of the Void God Nascent Realm in the Chaos Void with his Dominator status, so his foundation was not weak.
Although he has switched to a different system, it has not had a significant impact on him.
Of course, although Zhou Zheng did not choose to challenge the eighth-order limit, it was worth trying to create Sixth Order or even seventh-order secret technique using simple laws.
Zhou Zheng closed his eyes and began to settle down in the Divine Kingdom. Time passed little by little, and in the blink of an eye, more than fifty years Past.
Finally, Zhou Zheng opened his eyes.
"The rules are quite interesting!"
Zhou Zheng smiled, feeling more confident about the future.
"However, I can still break through!" Zhou Zheng made up his mind.
Breaking through to the True God will be guided by Supreme Rules to form the universe. Zhou Zheng had previously pondered whether this guidance opportunity was only available once and whether it would affect his Original Body breakthrough.
But then he thought about it and realized that this effect would only apply to his clones, meaning that all his clones would only have one chance to break through to the True God and receive guidance from the Supreme Rules.
After all, judging from the nature of Zhou Zheng's Ancient Cultivation clone, his Original Body and clone are completely separate and will not affect each other.
At this moment, Zhou Zheng's Divine Kingdom had completed its transformation and met the conditions for a breakthrough. Zhou Zheng then sensed an invisible rule guiding him. This guidance existed within the Divine Kingdom and had nothing to do with him personally.
In other words, as long as the Divine Kingdom undergoes a qualitative change towards Minor Universe, the Supreme Rules will surely descend to guide it.
This made Zhou Zheng realize that this kind of guidance would not only be available once for different clones, but would also have no effect on the Original Body.
" The Supreme Rules of this Source World are really great. Breaking through to True God also grants me an insight into the evolution of the universe!" Zhou Zheng thought to himself, feeling that the Chaos Void didn't offer this kind of treatment.
"For my first breakthrough, I'll focus on 'space-time'!" Zhou Zheng made a decision in his heart.
Every True God walks their own path; in other words, the Origin of each True God's Minor Universe is different.
Zhou Zheng has broken through to become True God. He has four choices: time and space, Slaughter, Destruction, Eternity. These four different cores will certainly lead to differences in the evolution of the universe.
For example, the Space-Time Dao will form Origin with time and space as its core, Slaughter Dao will form Origin with Slaughter as its core.
Zhou Zheng naturally chose to form his Origin with "space-time" as the core for this breakthrough. If his clone dies and he has to rebuild, he will choose another Origin Core.
"Let's begin the breakthrough!"
With a Zhou Zheng arrived above the Divine Kingdom.
As Zhou Zheng's thoughts stirred, the entire Divine Kingdom began to tremble violently. Void passages appeared inside the Divine Kingdom, and endless gray energy began to pour into the Divine Kingdom.
These energies are not the Universe Origin, but rather a force from outside the universe, making them even more difficult for him to absorb.
If one's cultivation level is insufficient, it will only lead to the collapse of the Divine Kingdom. However, Zhou Zheng clearly does not have this problem. He calmly controls the Divine Kingdom to continuously absorb these energies.
Breaking through to True God is different from before.
Previously, Zhou Zheng Universe Venerable and the Lord of Universe, his Divine Body first underwent transformation, the Universe Origin descended, and then his Divine Kingdom underwent transformation. But now, however, his Divine Kingdom expands first, transforming into Minor Universe, and then Zhou Zheng uses the power of the Minor Universe to nourish it, returning to the origin and condensing True God's body.
at this time--
Sizzle! Sizzle! Sizzle!
Endless gray energy surged in, sweeping wildly through the Divine Kingdom like World Destruction. At the same time, this power also spurred the Divine Kingdom to expand rapidly, at a speed beyond imagination.
The enormous Divine Kingdom, spanning billions, trillions, and hundreds of billions of miles, soon approached a light-year.
While expanding, Zhou Zheng's divine kingdom was also rapidly heading towards the deepest part of the primordial universe's spatial interlayer.
Whew! Whew! Whew!
Along the way, Space Fragment were constantly being absorbed, and the Divine Kingdom was also growing rapidly, at an incredible speed.
The Divine Kingdom, spanning one light-year, lasted only a little over half an hour; its diameter quickly reached several light-years, and even tens of light-years.
Zhou Zheng stood at the center of the Divine Kingdom, calmly maintaining this expansion; for someone of his level, this was not difficult.
Of course, Zhou Zheng knew that this was not the limit.
Even if he didn't choose to Divine Power Flow to become True God, the Minor Universe of True God is still a hundred million light-years in size. This is just the beginning!
