Contains a Trace of Sealing Rule (Trial Period, Please Keep Reading)

Ice Empress casually waved her hand.

"A lot happened outside, but none of that matters. How do you feel? Is there anywhere you feel unwell?"

After hearing Ice Empress's question, Ling Xiao examined his body.

He sensed that most of his injuries had healed. Though he was still somewhat weak, he was out of danger.

His cultivation had declined somewhat, but given a little time, he would soon recover completely.

"I'm fine, Auntie."

Seeing Ling Xiao smile at her, Ice Empress snorted and turned her head away.

"Hmph, as long as you're fine."

"If you dare stay unconscious for so long again, Auntie, I... I... I'll spank you!"

Snow Emperor watched the two of them from the side, a faint smile appearing on her lips.

"Oh, right, you little burden."

"To help you recover faster, Xue'er used up the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus."

Ling Xiao could not help but freeze when he heard that.

Ling Xiao knew very well that the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus was Snow Emperor's last hope.

Without the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow, Snow Emperor had actually taken out the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus.

Moreover, they did not even know where it was, yet they had still made such a bold decision.

Ling Xiao could not help feeling moved after learning this. It seemed he had to go and obtain the Myriad-Year Profound Ice Marrow.

Ling Xiao looked up at Snow Emperor.

"Thank you, Mom."

Snow Emperor smiled beautifully upon hearing this and spoke to Ling Xiao nonchalantly.

"Don't overthink it. This was Mom's choice. It's enough that you woke up sooner."

Hearing Snow Emperor say that,

Ling Xiao, who had never experienced maternal love in his previous life, felt even more moved.

Feeling the warmth of Snow Emperor's embrace, Ling Xiao could not help recalling that dream.

He realized a shocking fact.

He had originally thought that, like Snow Emperor, he was a spirit nurtured by the Douluo Plane.

He had always believed that Snow Emperor's origin was ice, while his was lightning.

That had always been his understanding.

But after this coma, he realized that things were not as he had imagined.

Ling Xiao was certain that the chaos was not from before the birth of the Douluo World.

If he had been an innate spirit nurtured by the Douluo Plane, his consciousness could not possibly have fallen into such a place.

That chaos was the state before the universe had been created, what the world had looked like before heaven and earth came into being.

His identity as the Innate Chaos Thunder Spirit seemed far more complicated than he had imagined.

He seemed to have come from a higher existence.

Countless thoughts churned through his mind, yet no abnormality showed on Ling Xiao's face.

He did not want Snow Emperor and Ice Empress to worry, so he had no intention of telling them about this.

Just then,

Ling Xiao's gaze swept across a corner of Ice Crystal Palace.

There was a strange metal object placed on an ice shelf not far away.

The metal carried a dark silver sheen, its surface covered in dense, intricate patterns.

Ling Xiao frowned slightly. He did not remember Ice Crystal Palace having such a thing.

"Mom."

Ling Xiao asked curiously.

"What is that thing over there?"

After hearing Ling Xiao's question, Ice Empress immediately got up and walked over, bringing the object back, while Snow Emperor explained from the side.

"This thing?"

"It was found near the place where you collapsed, but Mom doesn't know what it is either."

"Since we couldn't sense any dangerous aura from it, we brought it back to study."

Ling Xiao's heart stirred slightly upon hearing that. "There was nothing else at the scene?"

Ice Empress, who had walked over, shook her head slightly. "Nothing. Not even scraps were left."

There was a trace of hatred in Ice Empress's voice. "Only this piece of junk metal remained."

Clearly, Ice Empress was still bitter that they had not found the culprit.

Ice Empress held the item out before Ling Xiao, a flash of disdain passing through her emerald-green eyes.

In her view, it was nothing more than an unknown piece of scrap metal.

However, once the answers from the two Ice Emperors entered Ling Xiao's ears,

A name slowly surfaced in his mind.

God-Sealing Platform.

It had to be the God-Sealing Platform.

The only thing that could have survived an explosion of that level was the God-Sealing Platform.

Ling Xiao's heartbeat quickened.

To confirm that it was the God-Sealing Platform, he excitedly reached out both hands.

"Auntie, let me see it!"

Seeing how anxious Ling Xiao was, Ice Empress could not help snorting.

"Hmph! Why are you so excited?"

"Neither Xue'er nor I can figure it out. Could a little thing like you understand it?"

While grumbling about Ling Xiao, Ice Empress handed the God-Sealing Platform to him.

Ling Xiao took the God-Sealing Platform and examined it carefully.

Its surface was cold and smooth, the dark silver metal gleaming faintly.

Every one of those densely packed formation patterns had been designed with extreme precision.

However...

The instant Ling Xiao touched the God-Sealing Platform, he sensed something unusual about it.

An extremely faint force, one that did not belong to the material level, seeped from within the God-Sealing Platform and slowly entered his perception.

Ling Xiao's body trembled slightly.

It was a trace of the power of rules, a trace of... rule power similar to sealing.

That was right!

This was the God-Sealing Platform!

If this was the God-Sealing Platform, then that trace of sealing-like rule power made perfect sense.

The God-Sealing Platform's core function was sealing: sealing the souls and origins of powerful soul beasts.

What enabled this function was precisely that trace of sealing rule power.

The power of rules.

Ling Xiao mulled over the concept repeatedly.

Rules were a crude imitation of laws, while laws were an existence higher than rules.

The rule power contained within the God-Sealing Platform was humanity's rough comprehension of the laws of heaven and earth.

Even such a crude imitation was enough to make the God-Sealing Platform a ninth-grade soul tool.

As Ling Xiao pondered this, he suddenly froze.

Wait.

He could sense rule power?

Ling Xiao's hand paused slightly.

Since when had he become capable of sensing the existence of rules?

Before this, he had never come into contact with rules, nor had he encountered so-called laws.

He had only heard of these concepts, but had never truly felt their existence.

Yet just now...

When he touched the God-Sealing Platform, he had clearly sensed that trace of sealing rule power.

That was not normal.

Ling Xiao suddenly recalled that dream, the dream in which he had witnessed the creation of heaven and earth.

Perhaps it was that dream that had awakened his ability to sense rules.

Yin and yang separated, heaven and earth settled, laws were born from chaos, and rules spread throughout the world.

That scene had been too shocking, and the information it contained had already exceeded his understanding.

During that process, his consciousness had inadvertently touched the edge of laws.

Within that chaos, Ling Xiao had already touched upon the existence of laws.

Though he could not understand laws, he had gained the ability to sense rules.

If he wanted to understand laws more deeply, it would be best to start with something familiar.

The power of lightning.
