Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 770

The Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong were well aware of how highly Lord Chu Wei regarded that mysterious Time Lord.

They had also personally witnessed him effortlessly pierce through the encirclement of seven or eight peak second-tier Time Lords, take the Sevenfold Divine Tree, and leave at ease.

Not a single Lord dared to pursue him.

That was why they were so curious about this mysterious figure.

And since Lin Yuan seemed to have some connection to him, they had asked without thinking.

But upon hearing Lin Yuan’s response, they were completely stunned, finding it utterly unbelievable.

That mysterious Time Lord, possibly nearing the threshold of legend, was actually the "Milky Way" standing right in front of them?

“How is that possible?!”

The Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong almost thought they had misheard.

Lin Yuan, seeing their reaction, casually explained, “That Sevenfold Divine Tree was useful to me, so I took action and seized it.”

With Lin Yuan’s current strength, there was no need to conceal his abilities anymore. The Sevenfold Divine Tree might be rare and valuable—but that was for ordinary Time Lords.

In Lin Yuan’s hands…

Even if other Lords knew he possessed such a treasure, who would dare try and take it?

In the vast dimensional rift, power was the only foundation.

The Wanwei Lord had countless treasures, but no one dared make a move while he still lived.

“So that’s how it is…”

The Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong’s thoughts churned.

Though Lin Yuan’s explanation was hard to believe, they still immediately accepted most of it.

They knew Lin Yuan’s character—he wouldn’t lie about something like this.

And when it involved a being of such overwhelming strength, who would dare impersonate him? One mistake and you’d be burdened with unbearable karmic consequences.

“Milky Way, your strength…” Wan Chengkong steadied himself and asked the question on his mind.

The Mother of the Spiral Realm also focused intently.

Why Lin Yuan had taken the Sevenfold Divine Tree didn’t concern them, nor did it surprise them.

What shocked them was Lin Yuan’s strength.

Not long ago, he had been fighting evenly with Hui Ancestor at the second stage.

And now in the Wanwei Spacetime, he stood above all other Time Lords?

Such a transformation—advancing from a second-stage Time Being to a peak second-tier Time Lord—how much time had even passed?

What they didn’t know was that during that battle with Hui Ancestor, Lin Yuan hadn’t even been at the second stage. He had only just entered the first stage of the thirteenth tier.

“Not long ago, I had a bit of a breakthrough.”

Lin Yuan said calmly.

“A bit of a breakthrough?” The Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong both felt a tremor in their hearts.

This was just “a bit of a breakthrough”?

“Do you need me to protect you in the Wanwei Spacetime?”

Lin Yuan asked.

He had a favorable impression of the Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong.

When they had first visited Lin Yuan, they had offered him several hundred catties of the Sands of Time.

To a Time Being, that was no small sum—especially when Lin Yuan had only shown strength at the higher end of the second stage at the time.

That’s why Lin Yuan made the offer.

With his current strength, protecting two ordinary Time Beings was effortless.

Just like the owner of the Time Pavilion could make second-tier Lords wary with just a name, Lin Yuan could now have a similar effect.

“Milky Way… Lord Milky Way, you’re in the midst of competing for great treasures in the Wanwei Spacetime. There’s no need to concern yourself with us.”

Wan Chengkong quickly replied.

No one who reached the thirteenth tier was a fool.

Lin Yuan may have sincerely offered protection, but blindly clinging to him would be foolish.

“Yes, even in the worst-case scenario, we’d only lose a main battle body. We can recover it soon enough. But you, Lord Milky Way—if you’re delayed in seizing a treasure because of us, then…”

The Mother of the Spiral Realm quickly added.

With Lin Yuan’s current level, the treasures he competed for were things they couldn’t even afford if they sold themselves.

“If you’re ever in danger, just say my name.”

Lin Yuan didn’t press the issue further and simply added that.

It wasn’t about reputation—Lin Yuan hadn’t acted enough times for his name to be widely known.

Rather, once his name was spoken aloud, Lin Yuan himself would sense it. If the distance wasn’t too great, he could instantly intervene.

“Understood.”

“Thank you, Lord Milky Way.”

The Mother of the Spiral Realm and Wan Chengkong said with deep emotion.

The two Time Beings were left dazed after their conversation with Lin Yuan.

“Milky Way… Lord Milky Way is that mysterious Time Lord?” The Mother of the Spiral Realm took a deep breath, her voice full of disbelief.

Even though they now accepted it, she still felt it was unreal.

Based on everything they knew, Lord Milky Way should’ve been a Time Being from the Chaos Void who hadn’t even experienced one complete Great Destruction cycle.

And yet he already possessed power close to that of a legendary Lord?

“Thank goodness I didn’t try to fight for the Heart of the Celestial River back then.” Along with her shock, the Mother of the Spiral Realm felt another wave of relief.

It was clear—if she had tried to take advantage of the fight between Lin Yuan and Hui Ancestor to snatch it, things would not have ended well for her.

“There’s also another possibility. Maybe Lord Milky Way was originally a Lord but reincarnated into the Chaos Void for some purpose, and he’s only now regained his strength?”

Wan Chengkong couldn’t help but speculate.

The Chaos Void was one of the top-tier dimensional spaces—ordinary Time Beings couldn’t affect it, and even Time Lords struggled to interfere. But if a Time Lord was willing to pay a terrible price, they could still merge into it.

“What’s so special about the Chaos Void that it would be worth such a price for someone like Lord Milky Way to enter?” The Mother of the Spiral Realm shook her head.

First and second-stage Time Beings were deeply interested in comprehending the Dao’s operations across different dimensional spaces. But Time Lords sought the path of transcendence—unless it was a unique space, ordinary dimensions rarely drew their attention.

Let alone paying a steep price to enter one.

“Well…”

Wan Chengkong didn’t know how to respond either.

“Whether Lord Milky Way was originally a Lord or cultivated to that level in this Great Destruction cycle—it’s not something we can speculate about.”

The Mother of the Spiral Realm said.

“True.”

Wan Chengkong nodded.

Even someone as strong as Lord Chu Wei was trembling before Lord Milky Way—let alone them.

“The Time Beings in the Chaos Void are really lucky…” Wan Chengkong sighed.

He and the Mother of the Spiral Realm had also come from a top-tier dimensional space. After their home was destroyed in a Great Destruction, they wandered the dimensional rift, enduring countless hardships before achieving what they had now.

Meanwhile, those in the Chaos Void hadn’t even left their homeland—but with Lord Milky Way’s protection, their cultivation path would be a thousand times smoother than his own.

“Indeed.”

The Mother of the Spiral Realm sighed.

Third Source World.

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged, observing the illusory world in the distance.

“Still too far. I need to get a little closer.”

He stood and contacted the Three-Lives Celestial Emperor and two others.

“Tianyuan, you want us to join forces and go deeper into that illusory world?” the Three-Lives Celestial Emperor asked, his tone serious.

The other two Celestial Emperors also looked solemn. “Tianyuan, this illusory world is no small matter—it’s definitely related to a legendary-level Time Lord. Even now, the pressure we’re facing is enormous.”

There were four of them including Lin Yuan, stationed quite close to the illusory world. As for the Mortal Immortals and Immortal Kings, they were much farther away.

That’s because the weaker ones couldn’t withstand the immense pressure near the illusory world.

Everyone knew that the closer you got, the more intense the impact—but you had to be able to get close in the first place.

“No worries. I’ve had a breakthrough recently. Let’s give it a try.”

Lin Yuan said.

He didn’t dare explore the illusory world alone. Bringing the Three-Lives Celestial Emperor and the others meant they could watch each other’s backs if danger arose.

“You’ve had a breakthrough?”

Celestial Emperor Daoyou looked at Lin Yuan, puzzled.

“Then let’s prepare.”

Celestial Emperor Wuyu spoke.

He didn’t think their combined strength could get them much closer to the illusory world.

They were already near their limit. Getting closer wasn’t something a simple breakthrough could achieve.

But since Lin Yuan insisted, they’d try—maybe it would help him realize the gap.

Rumble—

Without hesitation, Lin Yuan unleashed his power and charged toward the illusory world.

Overwhelming pressure and constraints surged, enough to collapse even chaotic Dao foundations—yet as Lin Yuan channeled his Primordial Power, those overwhelming forces were instantly diluted and dissipated.

“This…?”

Celestial Emperor Daoyou widened his eyes.

“Follow him—now!”

The Three-Lives Celestial Emperor acted without hesitation.

Celestial Emperor Wuyu followed, and Daoyou quickly came to his senses.

The three joined Lin Yuan, pushing deeper toward the illusory world until they neared its outer membrane. They could faintly make out scenes of swirling chaos within.

“Tianyuan, your strength…”

Once they stabilized, Celestial Emperor Daoyou’s voice was full of disbelief.

During their advance, Lin Yuan and the Three-Lives Celestial Emperor had taken on almost all of the pressure.

As for Wuyu and Daoyou? They had more or less been carried—both combined hadn’t endured even a tenth of what Lin Yuan had.

“Tianyuan, you’ve been too modest,” the Three-Lives Celestial Emperor said with emotion. “Even I might not be your match now.”

Though they hadn’t fought directly, just from the way pressure was distributed, he could tell Lin Yuan was no weaker than himself.

Wuyu and Daoyou exchanged glances, both inwardly shaken.

They had been planning to warn Lin Yuan not to underestimate the danger of the illusory world.

But now?

“How does it feel now?”

Lin Yuan looked at the illusory world looming before them.

“Excellent,” the Three-Lives Celestial Emperor nodded.

“If not for you, Tianyuan, we wouldn’t know how long it’d take to get this close,” Daoyou admitted. Based on their estimates, either the Three-Lives Celestial Emperor’s strength would have to surge, or they themselves would need to reach his level to manage it.

Lin Yuan smiled but said nothing more.

“This illusory world—what is its origin?” he asked the Three-Lives Celestial Emperor.

It didn’t come from the Great Wilderness Source Realm but had fallen into it from the vast dimensional rift.

“I’m not sure either.”

The Three-Lives Celestial Emperor shook his head. When the world descended, he had only just entered the Mortal Immortal realm—barely a Time Being. He had only sensed a massive tremor in the world and later detected traces of immortal material.

“With your cultivation speed, Tianyuan, uncovering its origins is just a matter of time,” Daoyou said. He had witnessed Lin Yuan’s rise firsthand—only recently he broke into the second stage, and now he’d already equaled or surpassed the Three-Lives Celestial Emperor.

“I don’t think it’ll be that easy…”

Lin Yuan stared into the illusory world. The pressure it exuded far exceeded even the Wanwei Spacetime.

Chaos Void.

Lin Yuan gazed at the Sevenfold Divine Tree before him.

His Tai Chi Soul had delivered the treasure immediately after obtaining it, and only now had it arrived in the hands of his true self.

The Wanwei Spacetime was full of danger—if it were an ordinary treasure, he wouldn’t have rushed it back. But something as valuable as a Sevenfold Divine Tree—worth ten million catties of Sands of Time?

It had to be sent back as quickly as possible and secured.

If it had remained with the Tai Chi Soul, who knew what might have happened?

There was always the risk of losing it.

“The Sevenfold Divine Tree!”

Lin Yuan examined the aura of the treasure, sensing the strange energy it emitted—it stirred an inexplicable yearning within his physical body.

“How incredible.”

Suppressing his body’s craving, Lin Yuan continued to study the Sevenfold Divine Tree.

He had believed his body was nearly flawless—if not truly perfect, then close to it.

But sensing the tree’s strange aura, he realized he was still far from true perfection.

He hadn’t even reached the “near-perfection” level.

This perfection wasn’t just about raw power—it was a deeper, more fundamental kind of completeness.

“Wanwei Lord likely didn’t just achieve a ‘perfect soul’—his body may have reached that level too,” Lin Yuan thought.

But because Wanwei Lord wasn’t the first to reach that level, the outside world hadn’t noticed.

“Even though the ‘Perfect Body’ path has been proven not to lead to transcendence, it still enhances strength. For me, the more, the better.”

After confirming through various future timelines that the Sevenfold Divine Tree held no hidden dangers, Lin Yuan immediately began absorbing its power.

Buzz, buzz— As the strange energy entered his body, it fused into each microscopic particle.

Now, each of Lin Yuan’s particles was composed of thirty-three fundamental units, forming massive particle-worlds within.

As the Sevenfold Divine Tree’s energy integrated, every particle in his body began to transform again—rising rapidly toward a higher realm.
