Whoosh!
In front of Lin Yuan, a gray, hazy sphere was suspended.
It was the ‘Miniature Universe’ obtained from the Nine Floors Dark Tower.
While reviewing the numerous mysteries of the River of Time, Lin Yuan often pondered over this ‘Miniature Universe’.
The complete Rule of Time within the ‘Miniature Universe’, though far from the vast majesty of the true River of Time, had the advantage that Lin Yuan could observe it at any moment.
As for the River of Time? Even if Lin Yuan reviewed it time and again, he only had access to a tiny fragment.
As for the countless variations and details originating from the River of Time, they remained somewhat unclear.
“If I could make another trip to the ‘shore’, my understanding of the Rule of Time could probably advance by a few more years…”
Lin Yuan thought to himself but was also aware of the great cost the Supreme Being Xia Qin must have paid to free him from the constraints of the River of Time.
He guessed it was not a small price and felt it was not appropriate to ask again at this time.
The ability of a Supreme Being to maintain their peak combat power holds great significance for human civilization.
The Xia You Evolution Tower is close to the territories of two peak clans, and the state of Supreme Being Xia Qin himself is related to whether the frontier territories of human civilization are stable or not.
…
Hum.
Lin Yuan’s consciousness seeped into the Miniature Universe, observing the specific operations of the Rule of Time.
Inside the gray, hazy sphere, space spanning hundreds of light-years was contained, the environment somewhat similar to the Main Universe, with stars, normal planets, and even more so, desolate starry space.
“The Rule of Time, there is actually this aspect?” The more Lin Yuan observed, the more he realized.
After having seen the full view of the River of Time, Lin Yuan’s understanding of the essence of the Rule of Time greatly improved.
It was like having a direction, and Lin Yuan knew which direction was the right target for the true understanding of the Rule of Time.
Issues that Lin Yuan could not understand or found confusing when observing the Miniature Universe in the past were now quickly being resolved.
“There is also the combination of time and space, as well as the combination of many basic rules, jointly maintaining a certain balance, which prevents this Miniature Universe from collapsing?”
Lin Yuan was inexplicably shocked.
While an Eighth Layer Evolver could open up an inner world, such a world relies entirely on the Main Universe, and even the opener themselves do not understand why.
It’s like a high-tech product — you know how to use it, but not the underlying principles, which involve many scientific fields.
And this Miniature Universe was perfected by the Demonic Jade Tower Master after a million years of effort.
Despite its size and strength being far inferior to a Supreme Being’s Inner Universe, its nature is similar.
This is why Stone Statue Shen Ji originally offered this treasure.
In the eyes of Stone Statue Shen Ji, strictly speaking, the Miniature Universe could no longer be considered an Eleven-Star Rare Treasure.
It is completely independent, with its many rules operating on their own, unaffected by external factors.
However, the inner worlds of beings of the Eighth, Ninth, Tenth, and even Eleventh Rank, as long as they have not mastered the Rule of Time, are dependent worlds of the Main Universe.
If the Main Universe were to be destroyed, all dependent worlds would also perish.
“Xuanhuang Secret Realm?”
Suddenly, Lin Yuan thought of the heritage secret realm left by Emperor Xuanhuang.
The Xuanhuang Secret Realm is completely reliant on the Main Universe, but seems able to avoid the influence of the Main Universe?
At least Lin Yuan learned from the Six-Armed Silhouette that the Xuanhuang Secret Realm had already existed for several Cosmic Eras.
What constitutes a Cosmic Era? The cycle of the universe from birth to destruction is considered one Cosmic Era.
But the Main Universe has been destroyed dozens of times, and the Xuanhuang Secret Realm still exists.
“Perhaps this is also Emperor Xuanhuang’s method?”
Lin Yuan’s thoughts paused only momentarily before no longer dwelling on them, continuing to immerse himself in the observation and understanding of the Miniature Universe.
Matters concerning the destruction and rebirth of the universe were far too remote for Lin Yuan at present; they are issues only a Supreme Being is qualified to confront.
…
“The two thousand and first new model of the Rule of Time…”
“The two thousand and second new model of the Rule of Time…”
Lin Yuan’s understanding of the Rule of Time soared rapidly.
Having comprehended five completely new models of the Rule of Time, he was much closer to grasping the Rule of Time in its entirety.
“Time… Space…”
Lin Yuan continued to observe the Miniature Universe, understanding the Space Rules while also delving into the Rule of Time.
With deeper insights, Lin Yuan faintly realized that the Space Rules also accounted for a significant part of the foundation of the Miniature Universe.
“Space….. Space…”
Lin Yuan’s eyes grew brighter; over the years, he had never stopped contemplating the Space Rules, often revisiting the ‘Void Interpretation’ left by the Moyu Tower Master.
“Space Rules… Golden Rules…” Lin Yuan’s mind was flooded with numerous profound insights regarding these two rules.
Space Rules are pillar rules, and the Golden Rules are fundamental.
[Your aptitude is against the heavens, gradually understanding the essence of the two major rules, and you begin fusing the two rules…]
…
[Your aptitude is against the heavens, gradually understanding the essence of the two major rules, and you begin fusing the two rules…]
…
[Your aptitude is against the heavens, having successfully fused the two major rules…]
…
In an instant, a new rule power was born within Lin Yuan, this new rule power was extremely sharp, as if it could tear through endless space.
“Hm?”
“While I was contemplating the Rule of Time, I ended up creating a kind of Fusion Rule, one that takes a pillar rule as the core foundation?”
Lin Yuan was slightly startled but felt joy in his heart.
Fusion Rules are domains explored by Tenth Rank Life forms.
The rules being fused can generally be divided into three levels.
From the weakest to the strongest, they are—
The fusion between basic rules.
