Time flowed quietly.
While he studied the inheritance, his consciousness benefited from external time acceleration, but some of its contents still had to be verified within the inheritance world.
Thus, ten thousand times time acceleration did not mean he could comprehend it ten thousand times faster.
Dongguan spent a year comprehending the first layer of the inheritance-an epoch under time acceleration.
For the second through sixth layers, the Hongmeng Alliance's Universe Venerables were all very cooperative. With the foundation of the first layer, the time needed to find a suitable comprehension amplitude was also reduced, making the process even faster.
In less than five years, he fully comprehended six layers of the inheritance.
Then came the seventh through ninth layers.
He had already moved Yan Emperor's layer to tenth place.
Although those were Universe Venerables of other races, when his consciousness overwhelmed them and they resisted, Dongguan discovered that this resistance offered another way to comprehend the inheritance.
True methods of confrontation between consciousnesses were rare in the Primal Universe. Most of the time, they relied on souls.
Within the Star Divine Palace, interactions between different worlds did not allow soul attacks to penetrate from one to another. Otherwise, Dongguan would have annihilated those three souls instead.
Controlling that world to fight was, in fact, another application of the inheritance's information.
As it happened, Dongguan had already cultivated the first six layers. Although his opponent had the home-ground advantage, at critical moments,
Dongguan could muster six times the "troops" to contest him.
In warfare, surround the enemy with ten times their numbers, attack with five times, and divide them with twice their numbers.
With six times the numbers, although the Underground Palace's strong fortifications prevented him from truly breaking through, he still achieved overwhelming superiority.
The seventh and eighth layers
