Yun He immersed himself in his insights, oblivious to everything happening outside.

Even if he had known, he would not have stopped. A state of sudden enlightenment was extraordinarily rare, something one could encounter but never seek out. If he missed this chance, he had no idea whether he would ever enter such a state again in his lifetime.

In this state of enlightenment, his thoughts became unusually clear and active, and he grasped things exceptionally quickly.

His entire being entered a wondrous state. His thinking was clear, and he saw through things with remarkable clarity, as though he were understanding them from a higher dimension.

Many difficult problems resolved themselves in an instant.

In almost no time at all, his domain reached the ninth level, and he had now begun comprehending the Law of Light.

From crossing its threshold to gradually delving deeper.

And incorporating the Law of Light he had comprehended into the mixed hole.

In this state, he also gained some insight into the two higher laws of space and time, which had previously seemed incredibly vague to him.

He seemed to have faintly touched their edges.

And so, he immediately stopped comprehending light and devoted all his attention to the laws of space and time.

He knew just how precious this opportunity was.

Finally, as time passed, he successfully sensed the fluctuations of these two laws.

He gradually gained insight, slowly reaching the thresholds of both laws.

An unknown amount of time passed.

When Yun He officially crossed the thresholds of the laws of space and time.

He vaguely sensed that his state of enlightenment was about to fade.

Should I use the remaining time to delve deeper into these two higher laws, or...

Yun He immediately made his decision. Before his enlightenment faded, he would fuse his insights into the laws of space and time into the mixed hole in one stroke.

This decision was not the result of careful deliberation. Rather, it was the most correct choice his subconscious made while he was in this state of enlightenment.

While inspiration remained and his thoughts were clear, he made the choice that was both the most correct and the most suitable.

And succeeded!

At the very last moment before he emerged from his enlightenment.

Yun He successfully fused the three laws of space, time, and light, forming a true mixed hole!

Hum~

The mixed hole, ten meters in diameter, changed instantly. Though its outward appearance seemed largely unchanged, it appeared darker and more unfathomable.

Inside, however, a staggering transformation had taken place!

This was a mixed hole formed by fusing the three laws of space, time, and light.

Though Yun He's current understanding of all three laws was still shallow, he had already taken a crucial step!

After all.

Even gaining an initial grasp of a fusion law was extraordinarily difficult. Countless undying beings and even Universe Venerables had been stumped by it.

Even with his Golden Horned Beast clone, the blood of the Gold Beast God he had fused with, his daily contemplation of the statue embodying the Beast God's essence, his attempts to reproduce the essence of the Beast God Statue, and more, Luo Feng had spent several hundred years barely gaining an initial grasp. The Chaos City Lord had immediately accepted him as an honorary disciple.

Afterward, he spent another eight hundred years in Chaos City and used the twenty opportunities to view the chaos stone tablet granted to him by the Chaos City Lord before successfully comprehending the first level of the gold-space fusion law!

Yet what Yun He had now comprehended was a fusion law combining three laws: time, space, and light!

He slowly emerged from his state of enlightenment.

Yun He immediately felt as though he had become much duller. His mind was sluggish, and the speed of his thoughts was worlds apart from what it had been moments ago.

But.

At this moment, Yun He's heart filled with wild joy!

He had succeeded!

He had chosen the right path.

And he had already taken the most crucial step.

To put it another way: his foundation was complete.

If he continued along this path, it would lead him straight to the True God Realm!

In other words, the realm of a supreme being of the universe.

Perhaps even beyond.

Hmm?

Yun He suddenly frowned, sensing that someone had entered the gravitational range of his mixed hole.

His mood immediately soured.

I've already risen more than a hundred meters into the air. Why would anyone still come and disturb me?

If they'd arrived a moment earlier, wouldn't they have interrupted my enlightenment?

In fact, he could not help wondering whether this was why he had vaguely sensed his enlightenment was about to end.

His eyes instantly filled with coldness and murderous intent as he turned to look outside.

Outside.

Under everyone's tense gaze, Hong slowly extended his hand into the black hole's gravitational range.

Hiss~!

Hong immediately sucked in a breath.

In an instant, he felt a powerful gravitational force rapidly spread from his palm throughout his body, enveloping him entirely.

Only upon making actual contact at close range did Hong truly experience how terrifying this black hole was.

The genetic origin energy inside him was actually being drawn out of his body by this gravitational force and rapidly pulled into the black hole. His strength was draining away fast!

At the same time, his body was gradually moving closer to the black hole.

Hong did not immediately turn and retreat. Though the gravitational pull was powerful, he felt it was not beyond his ability to resist.

Boom!

Hong unleashed his strength, resisting the gravitational pull and steadying himself so that he no longer moved toward the black hole.

But as he unleashed his strength, he discovered that the power within him was draining even faster.

Hmph!

Hong snorted coldly and deployed his domain.

A black domain instantly spread ten meters around him. The surrounding space grew viscous, resisting the black hole's gravitational pull.

His domain could originally cover more than a hundred meters around him, but Hong knew that against the black hole's gravity, the farther he spread it, the faster he would die.

However.

Even Hong's compressed domain seemed somewhat powerless against the black hole's gravity. It twisted and stretched under the pull, seemingly ready to collapse at any moment.

Hong frowned and had no choice but to compress his domain again, limiting it to one meter around him before he felt somewhat better.

Thus, a small black spot about one meter in diameter appeared at the outer edge of the black hole's thousand-meter gravitational radius.

It was like a miniature black hole at the edge, struggling to resist being devoured by the larger black hole at the center.

Like a tiny boat on the sea, struggling and pitching amid the waves.

Hong let out a slight breath of relief.

He checked his condition.

He discovered that even with his domain supporting him, his internal strength was still draining away, though much more slowly.

At this rate, Hong estimated that he could last roughly an hour at most before his strength ran dry.

When that happened, he would be unable to leave even if he wanted to.

"An hour?"

With a clearer sense of his limits, Hong glanced at the central black hole and moved again, slowly following the gravitational pull toward the center.

The closer he drew to the central black hole, the more astonishing its gravity became.

He had only moved straight ahead about ten meters.

Yet Hong already felt that he needed to expend more than twice as much strength to resist the black hole's gravity.

At the same time, the rate at which his internal strength drained doubled again.

At this rate, the hour he had originally expected instantly became roughly thirty minutes.

That was terrifying.

Moreover, Hong felt that if he advanced another twenty meters, he might barely be able to hold on.

He might not even have enough strength left to get out.

Because right now, he was merely hovering around the edge.

And the closer he came to the black hole's center, the more terrifying its gravitational pull became.

At this point, Hong could not help wavering.

He could neither advance nor retreat easily.

Hong hesitated.

"Hmm? This is..."

After hesitating for around ten seconds, Hong still could not decide whether to retreat or advance.

Just then.

Suddenly, the black hole's gravity erupted, as though deeply displeased by Hong's provocative behavior.

In this eruption, its gravitational pull increased more than tenfold.

"This is bad!"

Hong felt as though he had fallen into a mire. Even moving his body became difficult. The surrounding space, time, and light twisted into chaos, leaving him with a sense of spatial and temporal dislocation. He could no longer tell one direction from another.

Space itself seemed to twist and invert in chaos, leaving him unable to distinguish directions. The flow of time was erratic. One moment, time seemed to speed up; the next, it seemed to slow down. These violent contrasts made him feel unbearably ill. The light around him warped, making it impossible to see anything very far away.

But Hong knew one thing clearly: he was now moving rapidly toward the center of the black hole. Even unleashing his strength with everything he had could not stop him.

The domain that had covered roughly one meter around him was now compressed to about ten centimeters from his skin, yet the black hole's gravity was pulling it apart, leaving it on the verge of collapse!

It's over! Despair instantly filled Hong's heart.
