Creating Heavenly Laws

The sky was dark, and the stars hung high.

Lin Yuan walked out of the cave, feeling pleased.

Returning to the ninth rank not only meant more time to develop additional spatial layers but also symbolized his qualification and confidence to roam this world fearlessly.

Compared to the gods, Lin Yuan was unburdened by faith. As long as he remained in the human realm.

Even the powerful main gods wouldn't dare to make a move against Lin Yuan.

How could they?

With Lin Yuan's combination of the two defensive divine abilities, "Blood Rebirth" and "Elemental Body," even if he faced an assault from all twenty-four main gods, he could hold out for a very long time.

In fact, he might not die at all; at worst, he could be sealed.

The ensuing ripple effects would cover at least half of the human realm, if not more.

For Lin Yuan, this was not a significant loss. At most, he would give up spreading his teachings in this world.

But for the gods, these lives were the foundation of their faith.

Before Lin Yuan's arrival, the main gods of the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, even if they initiated divine wars, would never let the conflicts spill over into the human realm.

All of them relied on the faith of the masses and would not do anything to destroy their own foundations.

But Lin Yuan was different.

He didn't care about the lives of the masses.

This was also the downside of the path of faith.

By relying on the power of faith, seventh-level demigods could more easily elevate their divine kingdoms. The seventh-rank peak evolvers in the main world had to expend great effort to develop their internal worlds.

But in this realm, it only required gathering enough faith from the masses.

However, success in faith also meant failure in faith.

The shortcomings of the path of faith were evident: being elevated by the masses meant being constrained by them as well.

Of course, waging war against the twenty-four main gods was an extreme scenario. Lin Yuan wouldn't do it unless absolutely necessary.

But regaining his ninth-rank strength gave Lin Yuan the qualification to negotiate with the twenty-four main gods.

Lin Yuan preferred that the twenty-four main gods never even knew of his existence before he reached his peak.

"In these years of madly collecting divine crystals from various churches, I've surely caught the attention of those true gods in the Sea of Light."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

There was no other way. No matter how crazy a demigod was, they wouldn't dare to rob the churches of true gods.

Demigods just wanted to quietly collect faith, not stand against true gods. They weren't that foolish.

But Lin Yuan had no regrets. Without those divine crystals, it would have taken him at least another fifty to sixty years to regain his ninth rank.

Moreover, the churches Lin Yuan targeted were backed by less dominant true gods. As long as he didn't attract the attention of a main god, it was fine.

"The number of spatial layers has exceeded two hundred thousand." Lin Yuan's consciousness entered his internal world, sensing the fluctuations of the numerous spatial layers.

Although the spatial layers required Lin Yuan to develop one by one, similar to realms, once a spatial layer was developed, it meant completely mastering its mysteries.

For example, Lin Yuan's slightest mental will could descend into the Devil Jade space. Even without the support of the numerous spatial layers in his internal world, he could easily occupy one spatial layer after another.

"This world also has abundant depth, with the number of spatial layers exceeding a trillion."

After reaching the ninth rank, Lin Yuan's perception of spatial layers became clearer. He could even vaguely sense the existence of two extremely powerful spatial layers.

Those were likely the layers where the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness resided.

The Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were where the gods lived, existing outside the main space.

For countless years, many powerful demigods had tried to find out where the gods' Sea of Light and Abyss of Darkness were located.

Many demigods searched half the human realm without success.

In reality, the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were not in the human realm at all.

With Lin Yuan's current perception of spatial layers, he could enter the spatial layers where the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness resided whenever he wished.

"At my current rate of developing spatial layers, barring any accidents, I should be able to reach ten million layers before the time limit for staying here."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

The Huny of the Tianyu clan developed over thirty million spatial layers, but how much time and resources did he consume?

"As long as I reach the ninth rank with ten million layers, Huny won't be a threat." Lin Yuan was confident. In this transmigration, he also awakened the body divine ability "Elemental Body".

The most terrifying aspect of the "Elemental Body" was its growth potential.

Theoretically, once Lin Yuan reached the twelfth rank, he could similarly be immune to ninety percent of the strongest attacks.

"The Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm." Through the Gate of Myriad Worlds, Lin Yuan faintly sensed his Yang Spirit in the Mysterious Emperor Secret Realm.

Xi Lan was still fleeing under Huny's attacks, and Lin Yuan sensed that Xi Lan's aura had weakened. This kind of weakening wasn't physical or spiritual.

It was a weakening of the mental will, affecting other main bodies and avatars.

"Brother Xi Lan, hold on for another two years. Even if this avatar of yours perishes, I'll bring the treasures back to you."

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

Although he had deceived Xi Lan about being a 'senior,' as long as Xi Lan could hold on until Lin Yuan finished his transmigration.

Lin Yuan himself was the 'senior' and fully capable of dealing with Huny.

The Sea of Light.

In a vast, winding palace.

Many true gods were gathered.

In the Sea of Light, the twelve main gods of light were supreme, holding parts of the rules and authority.

The rest of the gods were ranked as lower, middle, and upper gods based on their power and type of faith.

At this moment, eighteen lower gods and one middle god were gathered here.

"Outrageous, absolutely outrageous."

"Someone dared to rob even the 'divine crystals' we bestowed!"

"It seems those evil gods in the human realm have forgotten our divine authority."

The true gods were filled with anger. In recent years, the churches they had established had been repeatedly robbed of their accumulated divine crystals.

Although their churches weren't as strong as the main god churches, which had demigod-level forces guarding them, they weren't so easily robbed.

To achieve this, at least a demigod-level existence, and a very powerful one at that, was needed.

The churches being robbed were far more than just theirs. They were simply the first to gather.

Many more true gods were still in slumber, unaware of these events.

"What should we do now?"

"The one robbing the divine crystals is very cautious, leaving no clues."

"And why would those evil gods rob divine crystals? What benefit do they gain?"

One true god spoke with a hint of confusion. The seventh-level demigods should be gathering faith, not robbing divine crystals.

Divine crystals were pure energy aggregates condensed over long periods in the divine kingdoms of the true gods.

They were used to support their divine incarnations in the human realm or to maintain the operation of their divine kingdoms.

Those demigods were already in the human realm and didn't have divine kingdoms to support. What was the point of robbing so many divine crystals?

"No matter the reason, openly robbing our churches is a provocation. I suggest a full-scale investigation."

"Yes, we must find out which evil god did this. I'll pull out his soul and burn it in my divine kingdom for ten thousand years."

The true gods spoke coldly. Since ascending to their divine kingdoms in the Sea of Light, their dignity had not been challenged like this. When had they ever faced such humiliation?

"I'll have my believers and other demigods investigate this matter."

At that moment, the only middle god present spoke. Under the constraints of the twenty-four main gods, these true gods couldn't personally descend to the human realm.

As for descending divine incarnations? Maintaining them required a lot of divine crystals, and such long-term investigations couldn't be carried out by the incarnations.

The incarnations were meant for decisive actions. For example, once the culprit behind the church robberies was found, they could descend their incarnations to suppress them directly.

So, sending demigods to investigate was the best choice.

Many demigods in the human realm had allied with the churches, although they only allied with the stronger ones.

Longshan Ridge.

In the underground training room.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged.

In his mind, the Gate of Myriad Worlds faintly glowed.

A gray-green gourd slowly emerged from the Gate of Myriad Worlds, crossing endless dimensions and descending into this world.

Additionally, a 'bell-shaped' weapon was also transmitted through the Gate of Myriad Worlds, falling into Lin Yuan's hands along with the gray-green gourd.

Since he had regained his peak strength and had the ability to protect himself in this world, Lin Yuan naturally summoned the mysterious gourd.

Absorbing the liquid in the mysterious gourd would continuously enhance the size and strength of his internal world and body.

Moreover, it could improve the body divine ability "Blood Rebirth."

A higher level of "Blood Rebirth" meant that Lin Yuan's absorption of the liquid in the mysterious gourd wouldn't start from scratch but would quickly catch up to the latest progress.

For example, in the main universe, Lin Yuan had nearly absorbed all the green liquid in the mysterious gourd.

In this world, Lin Yuan could reach the level of completely absorbing the green liquid in a short time, within half a month to a few months.

Similarly, if Lin Yuan absorbed all the blue liquid, the sixth liquid in the gourd, in this world, then his main body in the main world could quickly reach this progress.

The two were essentially synchronized in terms of realms.

Besides the mysterious gourd, the 'bell-shaped' treasure was also brought along, which was the Origin Essence Gold.

The Origin Essence Gold had incredible growth potential but required a lot of time to nurture.

In the main world, Lin Yuan's cultivation speed was too fast to spend much time nurturing it, so he had to make an effort in the transmigration world.

Bringing these two treasures into the transmigration world only consumed two strands of the Boundary-breaking Source Energy. With over a hundred strands in his possession, Lin Yuan could easily afford it.

Time passed.

Two or three more years went by in the blink of an eye.

"Finally..."

Lin Yuan's consciousness descended into his internal world, now vast and nearly two hundred million miles in circumference.

To be precise, it was 166,5 million miles in circumference.

Compared to the initial ten million miles, it had increased by 16.65 times.

This was the total increase brought by fully absorbing the green liquid.

The mysterious gourd contained seven types of liquid, with the green being the fifth. There were still the blue and purple liquids left.

"Blue liquid."

Lin Yuan inverted the mysterious gourd, and a drop of blue liquid slowly gathered at the spout.

"How is this liquid formed?" Lin Yuan carefully observed. At his current level, he could see through many spatial layers with a single glance.

However, the essence of the blue liquid still puzzled him. Even when magnified a billion times, it remained the same blue liquid.

There was no change.

This was very strange. Any substance magnified a billion times would show different microscopic forms and finer structures.

But the blue liquid seemed to have no micro or macro structure.

It wasn't just the blue liquid; even the red liquid at the beginning had the same property.

"Never mind, as long as it benefits me, I'll understand the principle later." Lin Yuan thought for a moment and began to absorb the blue liquid.

Boom.

As soon as the blue liquid entered his body, terrifying blue flames ignited. With the "Blood Rebirth" divine ability, Lin Yuan barely endured for a while before his body turned to ashes and reformed again.

Unknowingly, Lin Yuan had been the head of the Longshan family for a hundred years.

During these hundred years, the Longshan family had developed rapidly, especially twenty years ago when the Silan Empire's royal family publicly rewarded the Longshan family, directly elevating their title to Count.

In non-war times, elevating a title was extremely difficult. The imperial family wasn't foolish; the more counts there were, the less power and territory they had.

The territory of Count Longshan included several nearby viscount territories and unclaimed lands, totaling five hundred million square miles, nearly ten times the original sixty million square miles.

Additionally, the martial cultivation method had spread widely. With the Silan Empire being the first to implement it,

Other surrounding empires quickly followed. After thoroughly studying the martial cultivation method, they found no hidden dangers.

Without hidden dangers, and with a single cultivation method achieving the effects of most knight cultivation methods, why not implement it?

Delaying implementation only allowed other empires to produce more knights, affecting national power.

Naturally, the rise of the martial cultivation method made countless strong individuals on the Plateau of Nations curious about its origin, Count Longshan of Longshan Ridge.

Many demigods' eyes were on Longshan Ridge.

Outside Longshan Ridge, from the shadows, an emaciated old man emerged.

This old man, with a hooked nose and sinister eyes, looked towards Longshan Ridge.

As a demigod-level being who had ignited the divine fire, he had lived for nearly a hundred thousand years and experienced countless events. Few things could pique his interest anymore.

"Count Longshan, full name Longshan Yuan, the spreader of the martial cultivation method. I've seen that martial cultivation method. Its sophistication far exceeds what a mere fourth or fifth-level knight could create."

"This Count Longshan has a great secret!"

The emaciated old man's figure quickly blurred, transforming into an almost invisible shadow and sneaking into Longshan Ridge.
