…

“Welcome, newly advanced comrade!” A streak of boiling hot light suddenly rose from the darkness, and Leylin seemed to see flames from the core of the earth.

“This is the Mother Core, the strongest amongst us!” Ignox introduced at the side. A few other powerful conscients descended as his voice sounded.

“This is the Death Sovereign King!” “This is the Abyss Master!”

Many rank 8s, some who were said to only exist in ancient legends or myths and even unknown began to show themselves.

“Hello, everyone!” Leylin greeted them. His actions were extremely eloquent as a gigantic head of a serpent appeared behind him, Adhishesha proudly hissed as a reddish black mist glowing with fiery thunderous storm raining with cold droplets brimmed with primordial chaos erupted.

“What an interesting fellow! He actually grasps a chaotic law!”

“This path is very difficult… Very many have tried to acquire the chaotic type of power due to its versatility but even those who succeeded were eventually cursed with an insurmountable roadblock.”

“You seem to be related to descendance of the Snake Dowager yet broke through your shackles? Congratulations!”

The many existences began to discuss amongst themselves or expressed their goodwill. Just the transmissions from their minds was enough for those Breaking Dawns from before to explode and die.

“Silence!” With the voice of the Mother Core, the many conscients quietened down.

“First, let us welcome Leylin Farlier, our newest comrade!” It was evident that the Mother Core was the most powerful here, and many existences of law let her take the lead.

“The agreement has been prepared. You can take a look!” An ordinary board of soil flew out from the core and landed in front of Leylin, an agreement written out using the words of laws.

Leylin firstly looked at Mother Core with a respectful gaze accepting the agreement and then turned to take a look. The conditions were broad, stating that as a member of the Magus World he had to take initiative to safeguard the Magus World and prevent foreigners from invading. In return, he would be able to comprehend a few years’ worth of the power of laws here every century, and even have the chance to absorb some of the world origin force.

“There’s a limit to the world’s origin force. Even existences of laws can’t absorb it from the world without any limits, or else everything would be ruined… Even if it’s us, we can’t draw the power of the world without reservations. There has to be a limit.” The Mother Core explained to Leylin.

“Obviously, I understand and agree to abide by the ancient order!” Leylin naturally knew the reasoning behind this. He nodded, and a Trimurti seal appeared at the end of the soil board. The soil board crumbled in an instant, and seemed to draw the attention of the World Will, sending threads of mysterious force pouring in.

“With the great Magus World Will as a witness, I hereby announce the signing of the contract!” The Mother Core’s voice was grim, and the rest of the other existences roared and yelled.

“Welcome, kid!” “Ever since the ancient battle, we haven’t had new blood in a long time!”

It was obvious that after signing the agreement, these guys now truly treated him as one of their own.

After conversing with them, Leylin firstly gained a broader knowledge of the world of law beings and comprehended some of the world laws that the Mother Core had exhibited, and also absorbed a portion of the origin force before leaving the area guided by Ignox.

…

“Lord Ignox, I have a request I wonder if you would be interested to listen?”

“Feel free to express yourself my friend and no need to act so formal.” Ignox smiled with good will and asked Leylin to continue.

“Well then I won’t be too restrained, I have acquired quite an interesting research subject lately and has been indulge in it for sometime but I eventually encountered a roadblock and can’t seem to formulate what to do?”

“Oh? What would that be?”

“Well it’s the problem to controlling the truesoul after utilizing splitting technique!” Leylin shared a bit of his concern with Ignox explaining his problem as they both continued to travel.

“Hmmm…Please rest assured, my friend!” Right as they were leaving, Ignox seemed friendly and gentle, “I’ll find a way for you to solve the issue of controlling a split truesoul!”

“Then I would be in your debt!” Leylin nodded gratefully. This sort of high-ranked soul technique would require a lot of time even with research and help from the A.I. Chip. His only other choice was to employ the help of other existences of laws.

“Actually, regular clones should already be enough for us. Why are you trying to do something as dangerous as split your truesoul?” Ignox bit his lip and began to advise him.

“You are well aware of the drawbacks of such a clone… after the connection with the host body broken off, it would be useless.” Leylin answered.

Any law being could naturally make clones like that of the Trial’s Eye or the Nefarious Filthbird. Perhaps those could not even be called clones, just a projection of their strength.

And as an existence of laws, Leylin knew very clearly the weakness of such projections in which once the connection is broken, the projection is useless and can’t be controlled again. He wanted to counter it otherwise his plans to roaming and invading otherworlds would be squandered.

“Alright! I’ll take care of this. With the Wisdom Library passed down in the family through generations, I believe I should get a result in the next three centuries!” Ignox stared at Leylin meaningfully, his astute gaze trying to pierce through Leylin’s mind and wanting to see through his plans but Leylin maintained his indifferent smile.

“Thank you, I would be going now!” Leylin bowed slightly, turning into a streak of black light and disappearing. He left Ignox standing in place, looking deep in thought.

..

‘Truesoul splitting? Perhaps even the Mother Core would not dare attempt something like this. Interesting…’ Ignox mumbled to himself, a mysterious smile quirking about his lips. He turned into a bundle of mist and, as if he had merged with the world, completely disappeared.

The speed of an existence of laws was unimaginable. With just bit of time, Leylin was back in his laboratory. Reclining on his chair gazing at his garden, as he halted his research.

“If I can get a few more sessions of absorbing origin force from Magus World, my likelihood of ascending would be sooner.” Leylin was in deep thought because he was evaluating the experience he felt while taking in a bit of the world origin force which allowed his already monstrous vitality to grow a good amount.

Advancing even a single unit was extremely troublesome at the level of an existence of laws. To put into prospective at his level even if Leylin were to kill all the serpents and gluttony beasts of Holy City a thousand times over and devour them, then his increase would still only be slightly comparable to what he gained today!

That is to say, The world origin force is truly the best supplement for existences of laws!

Leylin stroked his chin. He thought back to the Magus World before the ancient war and the frenzied battle against the Gods. Numerous higher ups of the Magus World were enthusiastic about invading other worlds and seizing their world origins. This fact had something to do with those actions.

The advancement after reaching rank 7 is much too slow. It can’t be compared to the speed of plundering to achieve more power.

Though God’s were also at the level of rank 7 Magi who had comprehended rules, their paths differed from Magi, with theirs being called the path of faith!

“Path of faith? I have already captured the essence of this system of strength and although there is much to still discover it doesn’t change the fact that I could be considered as a hybrid of Magus and God!” Leylin thought, he is obviously a rare breed being able to practice the power system of World of God’s. It is only now after becoming a law being did he understood the true extent of his accomplishments. If it weren’t for Wisdom Tree he would have never touched this system of power not unless he invaded the World Of God and slowly work his way upwards gaining power.

Leylin’s gaze fall to his tranquil garden and looked at the tree grown from the Seed Of Wisdom and lost himself in his thought, although the tree looked very strong there was a part of it which seemed to be devoured as if bitten by a gigantic beast. The torn portion is what Leylin offered to Purgatory for the placenta.

“With my powers dabbling into faith energy, if I didn’t have the characteristics power of chaos veiling my true strength and secret I might have even attracted despise or greed from other law beings.” Leylin knew that once they knew he can use faith energy despite being a Magus, the law being would attack him and force him to give up his secret because although they have been the enemies of God’s for a long time, Magus are fundamentally seeker of knowledge and would do anything to gain something they don’t possess especially when that something is extremely useful for them.

Leylin wields primordial chaos which envelopes him as a protection against any detection, due to the tyranny of his law not even a Rank 8 can breakthrough his defense without encountering deep hate and grudge from Leylin so, obviously others can only see what he wants them too see.

..

God’s by gathering the emotions and even dissipated soul force from intellectual lifeforms, they would then be fused with their own laws and then burn with divine flames, thus beginning to tread down the path of a god.

As each world was different, their strength systems differed. Some worlds did not even have this, this was something that Leylin had a deep understanding of already.

Though the path of faith was similar to the path of offerings, it was essentially different.

Of course, others didn’t focus on this, but on another piece of important information that they obtained through the Ancient War. The power of laws that the gods possessed were easily seized by Magi!

During the ancient war, many Magi had killed gods and seized the power of laws, thus advancing quickly!

On top of that, there were rumours that the gods could do the same, but had to pay a huge price.

Power to seize laws!

Leylin chuckled thinking about this, he has deep understanding of this phenomenon and has also made use of this in his favor.

As existences who have both grasped laws, it’s impossible for someone like Leylin to seize Ignox’s laws. But he can extract and extinguish their laws igniting it’s origin force to increase the comprehension of his own law!

“But obviously it is not as easy it it seems, perhaps I would have this ability once I reach Rank 8.”

Back when Leylin used Beelzebub’s law to breakthrough to half a step law being, it was a completely different situation. In his previous advancement, the process seemed much too easy because of the aid of the Purgatory World Will, his previous plans and more importantly because Beelzebub was from World of God’s.

He came from the World of Gods, and the fact that his power of laws was so easily seized and ignited by Leylin despite him only able to control a part of primordial chaos was one of the reasons why Leylin had targeted him.

Ideally, Leylin would focus on just the Snake Dowager, but striping her of her laws would be an impossible task because it doesn’t have the synergy the path of Magus and God’s have. It would undoubtedly have give rise to enormous variables that could have affected his previous advancement and put him in jeopardy.

The existences of laws in the World of Gods have a certain characteristic. Their strength comes from the combination of a theocracy, divine fire and the power of faith. If a correct method is found, it’s much easier to seize the power of laws from them as compared to other worlds. This is the reason why many Magi of the ancient Magus World agreed to declare war on them. Powerful beings could then seize the World of Gods’ origin source, while the other existences of laws would hunt down gods and obtain all sorts of laws, thus advancing quickly.

Of course, there were other variables. If things were just that simple, the World of Gods would have been destroyed long ago.

These gods might typically be weaker when battling outside the crystal walls, but if they fought on the land of the World of Gods, they would gain huge boosts and even surpass the strength of similarly ranked Magi! From the demi-plane domains that they create, these boosts might reach an unimaginable realm that would allow them to fight those above their rank.

The allied forces of the Magus World were not just limited to the Magus World. It was an era where the ancient Magi were at their most brilliant and splendid. From the worlds they had conquered, a surge of powerful Magi arrived and joined the war.

The final results, however, was that the World of Gods had been able to resist against the many powerful worlds. The fight had ended with both sides defeated and grievously wounded.

Such a terrifying result caused many Magi to turn pale after hearing about the gods.

“The World of God’s and Magus World are the most powerful worlds after all, and their respective strength system cannot be underestimated. The Path Of Magus is all embracing and very versatile but the path of faith definitely has its merits as well!” Leylin’s mouth quirked in a smile, rays that were like the stars flickering into existence in his hands.

This was the coordinates of a world, giving off a unique aura and held within the feeling of a great history.

The coordinates of the World of Gods exists in Beelzebub’s memories! This was one of the reasons why Leylin attacked him, because now he did have to exchange for it from other existences of laws.

“I didn’t seize the law of gluttony from Beelzebub to comprehend devour law which means my powers don’t originate from him. And although my law are far more difficult to cultivate it isn’t in an incomprehensible state where I would need to devour him to achieve Rank 7, mine is a completely independent law not even comparable to Nefarious Filthbird it only has similarities with his chaos law not the same thing. Eventually I would be able to breakthrough to Rank 7 even more so with the help of Magus World origin force. My path of Magus is set, as for my path as a God… ” Leylin fall into contemplation thinking about his future as he looked inside his sea of consciousness observing the Purgatory Placenta enclosed in his seal. Although it was sealed it seemed to beat similarly like a heart and pulse a reddish white mist.
