Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 778

Each dimensional space and layer of reality operates under the will of the Supreme Lawway.

All timelines extend only within the bounds allowed by that will.

Even the birth of time beings, the trials of time-loop worlds—these are all determined by the Supreme Lawway's intent.

Thus, many powerful legendary Lords “jokingly” say—

If the Supreme Lawway had a consciousness and wasn’t merely an instinctive force maintaining the operation of infinite dimensional space—

It would be the one and only Fourteenth-Rank Perfect Time Lifeform.

“Yeah, legendary Lords may seem powerful and mysterious, but in truth, they're rather pitiful.”

The Violet-Light Legendary Lord gave a self-deprecating smile. Upon reaching this level, there’s essentially nowhere left to advance—only the three so-called transcendent paths, each with an almost-zero chance of success.

Even someone as mighty as the Wanwei Lord eventually died.

Across the long and ancient past, there were far more legendary Lords who perished like Wanwei.

Many fell silently, without leaving behind anything like the Wanwei Spacetime before their final demise.

Lin Yuan nodded.

The stronger one becomes, the smaller they feel.

“Endless Tribulation…”

Lin Yuan’s soul and will sensed the Supreme Lawway, and likewise felt the Endless Tribulation path formed under its operation.

By merely connecting one’s will to the Supreme Lawway, one could activate this path—the Supreme Lawway itself would descend tribulations upon them.

All Lin Yuan had to do was overcome each one, and he would receive rewards from the Lawway—his strength would increase slightly.

“No wonder so many Lords believe Endless Tribulation is the most promising transcendent path. It’s not just because it directly originates from the Supreme Lawway.”

Lin Yuan pondered silently.

After becoming a legendary Lord, his soul and will could directly touch the Supreme Lawway’s intent, and he clearly sensed that every tribulation overcome would result in a small power increase.

Each individual improvement might be small, but with tens of billions of tribulations across the three phases, the cumulative growth was massive. If one truly passed them all, transcendence would be all but guaranteed.

Especially the final phase’s 330 million tribulations, which correspond to the legendary Lord level—each one brought significant improvements to body and soul, even bestowing divine powers and talents directly from the Supreme Lawway.

“Now that I’ve become a legendary Lord, I can roughly sense the locations of the Source Worlds I descended into.”

Lin Yuan mused, his gaze sweeping into the distance.

During the 60,000 years of cultivation, beyond the first four Source Worlds, he had also descended into a fifth and sixth.

The fifth Source World was an extremely normal cultivation realm, but the sixth was incredibly unique.

It wasn’t large—far smaller than even the Chaos Void, only about the size of a single natural universe within it.

And its inhabitants were weak—the strongest barely at the Sixth Rank.

But the laws of that Source World were terrifying: a fusion of the primal laws of illusion and reality into a unique foundational Lawway.

Beings born there were connected, from birth, to a virtual world via their consciousness.

To the inhabitants, these virtual worlds were mere fabrications—

But in truth, they were real—regions of the vast dimensional gap beyond that Source World.

When they entered these “virtual” worlds, they actually replaced powerful lifeforms from the dimensional gap and cultivated through their bodies, hunting so-called “bosses”—which were time beings.

At its peak, the sixth Source World commanded the power of tens of thousands of time beings and over ten Time Lords, nearly sweeping the entire dimensional gap.

Had Lin Yuan not descended into that Source World through the Gate of Myriad Realms, he would never have imagined such a mighty spacetime realm could be so inherently fragile.

All those fearsome time beings and Time Lords outside… were being piloted by weak beings not even at the Sixth Rank.

And due to the fusion Lawway of illusion and reality, this Source World existed between the real and the unreal. Not even a legendary Lord could pinpoint its exact coordinates.

Descending into that Source World greatly deepened Lin Yuan’s comprehension of illusion and reality—and also awakened a powerful body divine ability.

【Name: Lin Yuan】

【Title: Master of the Gate of Myriad Realms】

【Bound Talent: Unrivaled Insight】

【Divine Power: Blood Rebirth】

【Divine Power: Moving Mountains】

【Divine Power: Enhancement】

【Divine Power: Elemental Body】

【Divine Power: World】

【Divine Power: Tear the Sky】

【Divine Power: Sunborn Genesis】

【Divine Power: Lord’s Status】

【Divine Power: Past Self】

【Divine Power: Return to Source】

【Divine Power: Ascension】

【Divine Power: Illusory True Body】

A stream of phantom-like text flashed below his gaze—records from the Gate of Myriad Realms of all the body divine abilitys Lin Yuan had mastered.

The divine power Past Self was awakened in the Primordial Desolation Source World. It came from the Immortal Emperor of Three Lives. With this power, Lin Yuan cultivated the Three Lives Technique, laying the foundation to become a Lord.

Though Past Self didn’t directly boost his combat power, it saved an unimaginable amount of time and effort. Without it, just condensing and sealing his own timeline would have taken hundreds of thousands—perhaps millions—of years.

How could he have reached the Third Stage and become a Lord in just sixty thousand years?

The divine power Return to Source was awakened in the fourth Source World. That realm was newly born, and Lin Yuan was birthed within a primordial divine stone—becoming the first lifeform to walk its world.

There, Lin Yuan laid the groundwork for his Innate Five Tais.

Return to Source was a refinement power that could reduce all things back to their origin. In theory, given enough time, Lin Yuan could return all of existence in the infinite dimensions to their source.

But theory is just theory. To restore something as vast as the Chaos Void, first, all Time Lords would have to refrain from interfering—and second, the Supreme Lawway would have to allow it.

Even so, this divine power was still terrifying.

As for the divine power Ascension, it was a burst-type power. When activated, it dramatically enhanced every aspect of Lin Yuan—essentially an infinitely strengthened version of Enhancement.

The final one, Illusory True Body, was the divine power awakened in that extraordinarily unique Source World. It was a passive ability that allowed Lin Yuan’s body to instantly shift between illusion and reality at will.

Many time beings had comprehended the two Lawways of illusion and reality, and could shift themselves between the two—

Even back when Lin Yuan lived in his home universe, the Invincible Supreme Saint who ruled the Devil Jade Tower had developed similar illusion-real techniques.

But to instantly switch between illusion and reality? That was much harder—since illusion and reality are fundamentally opposite laws, switching instantly required complete fusion of the two.

What’s more, when Lin Yuan’s Illusory True Body became illusion, it was so thorough that even he couldn’t tell if he still existed.

With all his body divine abilitys, the first three Tais of Innate Five Tais, and his advancement to the Third Stage—

Lin Yuan had high expectations for his strength.

He had clearly stepped into the realm of legendary Lords.

But where he ranked among them—that required testing.

“Violet-Light Legendary Lord, I’ve just entered the Third Stage. Shall we spar?” Lin Yuan looked at the Violet-Light Legendary Lord before him.

The simplest way to confirm one’s level was to fight an opponent of the same tier.

Among the eight legendary Lords in the deepest region of Wanwei Spacetime, Violet-Light Legendary Lord was the strongest—having passed the ninety-millionth tribulation of the third phase’s 330 million tribulations.

Truly a formidable legendary Lord.

“A spar?”

Violet-Light Legendary Lord gazed at Lin Yuan.

The other seven legendary Lords looked astonished.

If someone else had made this request, it would’ve been laughable.

A newly advanced Third-Stage Lord wanting to spar with a legendary Lord? And not just any legendary Lord, but a powerful one?

That’s courting death.

Although Time Lords have sealed past, present, and future timelines, making it impossible for legendary Lords to completely erase them—against a legendary Lord, the result was still the same.

Overwhelming defeat.

Total domination.

But the one who said it was Lin Yuan.

The Milky Way Lord—whose future was infinitely terrifying?

The legendary Lords weren’t wondering if Lin Yuan would survive.

They were seriously considering who would win.

Not because they blindly believed in his future—

But because, after 60,000 years of contact, they understood him well.

Even before stepping into the Third Stage, he had already brushed the threshold of legend.

Now, having advanced fully, his power was clearly at the legendary level.

“A spar?”

Violet-Light Legendary Lord thought for a moment, then smiled. “Alright. But Milky Way, be careful.”

“I will.”

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

He didn’t want Violet-Light Legendary Lord to hold back—otherwise, the test would be meaningless.

“Then I’ll begin.”

Violet-Light Legendary Lord stood still, raised his right hand, and pointed at Lin Yuan.

With that motion, boundless violet light burst forth, penetrating layers of time and space, descending upon Lin Yuan.

Although it was a spar, Violet-Light Legendary Lord still used seventy percent of his strength.

Not just Lin Yuan—Violet-Light Legendary Lord also wanted to know how strong Lin Yuan had become.

Though he was certainly no match for the future Lin Yuan—

But now?

Violet-Light Legendary Lord still had confidence.

“This is Violet-Light Legendary Lord’s Chaos Origin Dao?”

Lin Yuan quietly sensed the profundity within the violet light.

Every Second-Stage time being comprehends their own Chaos Origin Dao.

Upon reaching the Third Stage, they enhance it further. Their attacks grow stronger, but the foundation remains the same.

Violet light shone across all, and there was nowhere for Lin Yuan to dodge.

But he didn’t intend to dodge.

Rumble—

The violet light surged, engulfing him in an instant.

Yet all of it passed straight through Lin Yuan’s body—as though he didn’t exist.

Divine Power — Illusory True Body.

In that moment, Lin Yuan had become pure illusion—like the vast void of dimensional gaps, bearing countless Chaos Origin Daos.

“Violet-Light Legendary Lord, this little trick won’t touch me,” Lin Yuan smiled. “Use your trump card.”

“…Hmm?” Violet-Light Legendary Lord’s expression shifted as he studied Lin Yuan, disbelief in his eyes. “Why can’t I sense him? He’s right there, but I can’t feel him at all. He’s outside space, outside time. Where is he?”

“Milky Way… then I’ll use a killer move. If you can’t withstand it, say so immediately.” Violet-Light Legendary Lord’s eyes filled with endless violet.

Whooosh—

The entire cosmos was drowned in violet light. Even the seven other watching legendary Lords retreated instantly, unwilling to be caught within.

Terrifying violet light began probing deeper through spacetime, trying to locate Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan simply stood there, letting it search him out—wanting to test the limits of his divine power.

Dozens of breaths later—

The violet light faded, and Violet-Light Legendary Lord’s form reappeared.

“Milky Way… I can’t find you,” Violet-Light Legendary Lord sighed.

Though he didn’t want to admit it—he had to. He couldn’t find him.

That move had been Violet-Light Legendary Lord’s strongest tracking technique, and it had failed. Which meant none of his means would work.

“Your turn.”

Violet-Light Legendary Lord looked at Lin Yuan.

Just because he couldn’t locate Lin Yuan didn’t mean he’d lose.

It all depended on whether Lin Yuan could threaten him.

“Alright.”

Lin Yuan nodded. His aura subtly shifted—the three powers of Tai Yi, Tai Chu, and Tai Shi from the Innate Five Tais collided and intertwined, bolstered by the divine power Ascension.

In that instant, Lin Yuan’s aura became terrifying. Though he did nothing, the surrounding spacetime began to collapse.

“This is…”

Violet-Light Legendary Lord took a deep breath.

After observing for a moment, he spoke: “No need to spar. You win.”

Violet-Light Legendary Lord could clearly feel that the killing move Lin Yuan was preparing had already posed a threat to him.

He couldn’t touch Lin Yuan.

But Lin Yuan could endanger him.

The outcome was clear—it was just a matter of time.

“Violet-Light Legendary Lord… gave up?”

The seven watching legendary Lords looked at each other in stunned silence.

They all knew Violet-Light Legendary Lord’s power. If even he admitted defeat, then no ordinary legendary Lord stood a chance.

“It was only a spar. There’s no real winner or loser.”

Lin Yuan said calmly. Since it was only a friendly match, he wouldn’t use his full killing moves.

He hadn’t planned to “defeat” Violet-Light Legendary Lord—only to gauge his own strength.

“Milky Way, your current strength has probably surpassed legendary Lords who’ve overcome a hundred million tribulations,” Violet-Light Legendary Lord remarked.

“A hundred million?”

The seven legendary Lords inhaled sharply.

That number was a threshold among legendary Lords. Only those who passed it could even hope to glimpse the end of the transcendent path.
