Creating Heavenly Laws

Longshan Hall.

Lin Yuan was comprehending the essence of space within the demigod persona.

Suddenly—

Lin Yuan opened his eyes.

"Someone is stalking me?"

Lin Yuan sensed a subtle and latent feeling of being watched.

This feeling was not a spatial observation, but a temporal one.

If it weren't for Lin Yuan's profound understanding of time rules over the years, he probably wouldn't have noticed anything unusual.

Even for ninth or tenth-rank beings, it was difficult to counteract in the domain of time.

"Hmm?"

Lin Yuan delved into his mind, where the grand and majestic Gate of Myriad Realms stood. A trace of insignificant backlash casually emanated from the projection of the Gate of Myriad Realms.

"He spied on the aura of the Gate of Myriad Realms, no, it should be a look, then encountered backlash?"

Lin Yuan's expression turned a bit peculiar.

The Gate of Myriad Realms, whose exact rank Lin Yuan still couldn't determine, far surpassed the rank of twelfth-tier supreme beings.

A supreme being couldn't cross dimensions that easily, but the Gate of Myriad Realms could do it effortlessly, as simple as eating or drinking.

Such an existence had the traits of being 'unviewable' and 'unspiable,' akin to a burning sun that constantly radiated energy.

Beings without enough strength and rank, if they dared to view or spy, would suffer terrifying backlash, regardless of the distance or dimensional barriers.

This was just a projection of the Gate of Myriad Realms. If it were the main body... actually, there was no such possibility because the moment the main body of the Gate of Myriad Realms descended into this world, everything would collapse.

Lin Yuan couldn't bear the Gate of Myriad Realms' main body, and this world couldn't either.

"Was it a main god from the Sea of Light? Or a main god from the Abyss of Darkness?"

Lin Yuan speculated as he looked up at the sky.

The stars representing the gods hung there, seemingly eternal. Among the twenty-four largest stars, one of them began to show intense fluctuations, as if it might fall.

"The god of Divination?" Lin Yuan observed carefully and concluded.

The many stars hanging high in the sky corresponded to various true gods, especially the twenty-four largest stars, which were the divine kingdoms of main gods.

As soon as the backlash from the Gate of Myriad Realms passed, one of the main god's divine kingdoms trembled. Lin Yuan was almost certain that the one who spied on him at the time was that god.

"There is actually a main god with time attributes," Lin Yuan thought with some excitement.

Time rules, though a pillar rule like space rules, were much harder to comprehend and master.

In this world, the cores of demigods, true gods, and even main gods were like 'keys' that opened the essence of rules.

For instance, a demigod core with space attributes allowed Lin Yuan to see the true spatial essence of this world, greatly benefiting his creation of spatial layers.

What about a core with time attributes? Especially a main god core?

"It depends on the extent of the time essence contained within the core of that main god," Lin Yuan thought.

If the time essence was too high, Lin Yuan might have a headache because it would mean that the main god had advanced usage of time rules, such as reversing time directly and hiding in the past.

In such a case, even if Lin Yuan had absolute strength, he couldn't do anything to the main god.

But this probability was low. To reverse time with one's true body required a complete understanding of time rules. If that main god had such strength, he wouldn't have been detected when spying on Lin Yuan at the time rank.

So far, Lin Yuan's understanding of time rules was just at the beginner rank, far from mastery.

"Shouldn't have been backlashed to death, right?"

Lin Yuan carefully observed the large star in the sky.

Knowing that the other party had a rare time attribute persona, Lin Yuan instead worried about the other party's safety.

Sea of Light.

In front of the temple.

The gods eagerly watched the god of Divination.

They hoped to use the power of this great main god to understand the origin of the patriarch of Longshan.

However, what happened next made the faces of the gods change drastically.

The once unfathomable god of Divination suddenly had his aura become chaotic, and it plummeted endlessly.

In the sky above the human world, the large star belonging to the god of Divination also changed rapidly, noticed by all the gods.

"What is happening?"

"What happened?"

"Why is the great god of Divination like this?"

The gods were in disbelief. If they hadn't seen it with their own eyes, they would never have thought that a high and mighty main god could be in such a state.

The divine power, divine body, and even the divine kingdom were all decaying.

This was a main god!

Since ancient times, even in brutal divine wars, main gods stood high above. There had indeed been cases of main gods disappearing mysteriously in history, but it was never because of battles with other main gods.

"Backlash, this is backlash."

"The god of Divination encountered backlash."

An ancient higher god seemed to think of something and muttered.

Theoretically, the 'divination' authority mastered by the god of Divination required a price for each divination.

The price depended on both the diviner and the one being divined.

But the god of Divination was too powerful, being one of the twenty-four strongest main gods. Even divining the secrets of a main god of the same rank would not cost much.

Thus, most true gods forgot that the 'divination' authority required a price.

"What kind of origin does the patriarch of Longshan have to make the god of Divination pay such a price?"

"Is it related to the 'supreme god' in the legends?"

"Supreme god?"

The gods' expressions became serious.

Since the creation of the world and the birth of the first main god, the Lord of Light, there had been legends of a 'supreme god.'

It was said that the supreme god created everything, even the 'main god cores' possessed by the main gods were granted by the supreme god.

Why were there only twenty-four main gods? Because to become a main god, one must possess a main god core.

And there were only twenty-four main god cores.

Theoretically, only when a main god fell could a new main god be born.

There had been several instances of main gods disappearing in history, and not long after, the world condensed a new main god core corresponding to the fallen main god.

While the gods were discussing, the god of Divination, whose aura and divine body had plummeted, barely held on.

"What is that?"

The god of Divination's eyes showed a trace of fear.

He had used the method of time reversal to try to lock onto the origin of the patriarch of Longshan. In the end, without seeing any useful images, he was overwhelmed by the backlash and only now recovered.

"Supreme god?"

The god of Divination immediately thought of the supreme god.

He had never seen the supreme god, but with the current rank of backlash, the only explanation was the legendary 'supreme god.'

"The patriarch of Longshan has obtained an opportunity related to the supreme god?"

The god of Divination took a deep breath. He didn't believe the patriarch of Longshan was the supreme god, because if that were the case, none of these things would have happened.

With the status of the supreme god, even main gods like them would have to obey with just a word. How could the supreme god be in the human world abducting demigods?

"An opportunity from the supreme god." The god of Divination's eyes showed a hint of longing.

Longshan Ridge.

Many members of the Longshan family had received the news. Over the years, the Longshan family, starting from Longshan Ridge, had expanded its influence over the entire Plateau of Nations.

Naturally, they had befriended many demigods.

Many of these demigods had connections with true gods in the Sea of Light.

Thus, the news that the patriarch of Longshan had killed hundreds of divine avatars quickly spread to the Longshan family.

"The patriarch killed hundreds of divine avatars?"

Many elders of the Longshan family were shocked. They had witnessed the rise of the Longshan family from a viscount power to its current status.

These elders' long lives were due to the grace of the patriarch of Longshan.

However, despite their high regard for their patriarch, they were stunned to learn that divine avatars were like ants before Lin Yuan.

How could this be?

Wasn't it said that below true gods, all were ants?

How had true gods become ants now?

"My son, has he become a god?" Longshan Fang said dumbfoundedly. His rank was not high enough to understand that becoming a god and elevating a divine kingdom couldn't be hidden.

But given that Longshan Yuan could easily kill hundreds of divine avatars, the only possibility was that he had become a god himself.

"Yuan." Longshan Fang's wife was equally incredulous. She remembered Lin Yuan as a wastrel, and now he had reached such heights.

"The patriarch hasn't become a god."

Longshan Ling stepped forward.

This information came from the Order Pope and should be true.

Any newly ascended god had to enter the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness immediately, according to the iron law among the gods.

Yet the patriarch of Longshan remained in the hall's cultivation room.

"Not a god?"

The members of the Longshan family exchanged glances.

Most of them didn't understand the significance of this event, but their reverence and admiration for the patriarch of Longshan deepened significantly.

Sea of Light.

Main hall of the main gods.

Twenty-four thrones appeared, each occupied by a figure.

These figures were all main gods, including not only those from the Sea of Light but also from the Abyss of Darkness.

The Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness, although different factions, had fought several divine wars in the long past.

But that was among the true gods below the main gods. To main gods, the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness were essentially the same.

The twenty-four main gods were fundamentally beings of the same rank, with no irreconcilable hatred among them.

At this moment, facing an opportunity related to the supreme god, they had all gathered.

"Prophet, is the patriarch of Longshan really related to the supreme god?" A figure shrouded in darkness asked. He was the Dark Lord.

He was the second main god born in the world. The Lord of Light created the Sea of Light, and the Abyss of Darkness was created by him.

"If not related to the supreme god, how could I end up like this?" The god of Divination's aura was weak.

Even though he barely withstood the backlash, the god of Divination had exhausted his foundation, and even his divine kingdom was on the verge of collapse.

Such damage would take a million years to recover.

"Indeed."

The Dark Lord's eyes flickered but said nothing more.

"What rank is the patriarch of Longshan at now?" A figure shrouded in endless light spoke.

"I can confirm that the patriarch of Longshan is still a ninth-rank being. The backlash I suffered did not come from the patriarch of Longshan."

The god of Divination immediately answered.

"The patriarch of Longshan's strength surpasses any of us," the Magic Net Goddess said coldly.

Not long ago, she had descended an avatar to communicate with the patriarch of Longshan, but he had erased it with a mere wave of his hand.

From this brief exchange, the Magic Net Goddess had roughly gauged the strength of the patriarch of Longshan.

"As long as he hasn't completely surpassed the ninth rank, it's manageable," a phantom-like main god said, glancing at the other twenty-three main gods.

"So, how should we deal with this patriarch of Longshan?"

Upon hearing this, the other twenty-three main gods looked at each other but said nothing.

The twenty-four main gods had lived for countless ages, and even their emotions had mostly worn away, but now they felt a renewed desire.

A desire for the opportunity related to the supreme god.

This could potentially help them advance further, surpassing the other main gods.

At that point, there would be no distinction between the Sea of Light and the Abyss of Darkness.

"You all want to deal with the patriarch of Longshan and seize the opportunity related to the supreme god?" The god of Divination understood the main gods' intentions.

He also had this thought. Who wouldn't want to advance further? But in his current state, it was just wishful thinking.

"Dealing with the patriarch of Longshan requires utmost caution. Remember, he is in the human world. Even if we join forces, we might destroy the human world while failing to seize the opportunity."

Another main god spoke.

Whether it was the supreme god's opportunity or the possibility of advancing, the human world was the foundation of the main gods.

"Right."

"We need to find an excuse to lure the patriarch of Longshan to the Sea of Light or the Abyss of Darkness."

The other main gods nodded slightly. Only in the depths of these multi-layered spaces could they act without restraint.

Longshan Ridge.

Longshan Hall.

Lin Yuan was still in seclusion, comprehending the demigod persona.

[Your unrivaled insight allows you to observe the world's fundamental rules, enhancing your understanding of space continuously.]

[Your unrivaled insight allows you to observe the world's fundamental rules, enhancing your understanding of space continuously.]

As a vast amount of comprehension flowed into his mind, it finally caused a qualitative change. Lin Yuan suddenly gained enlightenment, fully understanding the basic essence of space in this world.

"So that's how it is."

Lin Yuan opened his eyes, his gaze deep.

Simultaneously.

The internal world within him also began to undergo earth-shattering changes.
