Chaotic Sea

"We must destroy the First Generation Will's core!" White Night's law deduction finally locked onto the phantom's weakness—the gray crystal at the phantom's chest. That was where the First Generation Chaos energy was most concentrated, and also where the core of the First Generation Will was located. "Silver Wolf, use the Time Law to interfere with it, I will go destroy the core!"

Wind Howling Silver Wolf let out a long howl, and Law Mimicry: Time Disorder was activated. Dark golden energy formed a time vortex around the First Generation Will. Within the vortex, the flow of time sped up and slowed down erratically, sometimes rewinding and sometimes jumping forward. The First Generation Will's movements became sluggish as a result, and the output of its gray energy also fluctuated.

White Night seized the opportunity to activate the origin dharma wheel. A stream of pale golden energy condensed into a long sword, and the primal law core runes on the sword blade intertwined with time energy, forming a sharp radiance capable of tearing through the Sea of Chaos. He turned into a stream of light, passing through the time vortex, with the long sword pointed directly at the core of the First Generation Will.

"Overestimating your own capabilities!" The First Generation Will cold-snorted, and the gray energy around its body suddenly surged, forming a thick energy shield. The long sword slashed against the shield, emitting a harsh "sizzling" sound. The energy shield trembled violently but did not break—the devouring property of the First Generation Chaos energy could actually directly neutralize attacks from the Primal Law.

Just at this critical moment, the Time Anchor suddenly erupted with dazzling light. All the time energy in the hourglass poured into White Night's long sword. The blade instantly turned silver, and the primal law core runes on the sword fused with time runes, forming a brand-new "Space-Time Primal Sword." This sword contained the dual power of time and the primal, capable of directly penetrating the defense of Chaos energy.

"Space-Time Primal: Break Chaos!"

White Night's voice echoed in the Sea of Chaos. The silver long sword, carrying a sharp whistle that pierced the heavens and earth, slashed toward the energy shield once again. This time, the long sword pierced through the defense as if cutting through tofu, accurately striking the core of the First Generation Will.

"Crack!"

The gray crystal shattered in the sword light. The First Generation Will let out a shrill scream, and its body dissipated rapidly in the silver light, finally turning into a gray point of light that was absorbed by the Time Anchor—after absorbing the First Generation Chaos energy, a layer of gray patterns appeared on the surface of the Time Anchor, evidently evolving into a "Chaos Time Anchor" capable of stabilizing both Time Law and Chaos energy simultaneously.

[Slaying the First Generation Will, the Sea of Chaos has completely stabilized, obtained "First Generation Chaos Law Fragment" x1000]

[Time Anchor has evolved into "Chaos Time Anchor", capable of resisting any Chaos energy erosion]

When the last wisp of gray energy was absorbed, the sky of the Sea of Chaos suddenly cleared. The gray Chaos energy gradually receded, revealing the clear ocean of energy below. The time crystals on the island re-condensed, and the law runes on them shone simultaneously, forming a bridge of light leading to the depths of the Sea of Chaos—that should be the core region of the Sea of Chaos, hiding the ultimate secret of the differentiation of the Primal Law.

White Night and Wind Howling Silver Wolf stood before the bridge of light and exchanged a glance, both seeing excitement and determination in each other's eyes. They knew that the exploration of the Sea of Chaos was just the beginning; the core region deeper within must surely hold even more astonishing secrets waiting for them.

Silver Wolf turned into a stream of dark golden energy, wrapping around White Night, and the two stepped onto the bridge of light together, walking toward the depths of the Sea of Chaos. The scenery on both sides of the bridge of light changed constantly, sometimes flashing with the birth of the primal universe, and sometimes revealing the future of the Multiverse. These were all historical illusions displayed by the Chaos Time Anchor, as if it were revealing the complete history of the Multiverse to them.

When the end of the bridge of light coincided with a golden island, White Night's origin dharma wheel suddenly spun violently, and countless law runes flew out from the dharma wheel, merging into the ground of the golden island. In the center of the island, a huge golden crystal slowly rose, sealing a seven-colored stream of energy inside—this was the instantaneous image of the differentiation of the Primal Law, and also the ultimate goal of their journey.

Around the crystal, twelve figures slowly emerged. These figures were exactly the same as the guardians of the twelve major core universes of the Multiverse; evidently, this was the final trial of the Sea of Chaos.

A new challenge had appeared, but there was no fear in the eyes of White Night and Silver Wolf, only a desire for the unknown. Their footsteps would continue to extend toward the core of the Sea of Chaos, using their own Dao to uncover the ultimate mystery of the birth of the Multiverse.

Chapter 140: Lost in the Sea of Chaos, the Backlash of Time Law and the First Generation Will

At the edge of the Sea of Chaos, the thick, ink-like energy was like boiling asphalt, and every roll could tear through the law barriers of the Multiverse. White Night's origin dharma wheel rotated at high speed around him, and the pale golden light collided with the Chaos energy, sparking a sky full of fragmented law sparks. These sparks landed on Wind Howling Silver Wolf's origin form, actually causing its dark golden fur to develop bronze-colored rust—this was the "Time Corrosion" unique to the Sea of Chaos, which could cause objects it touched to rapidly experience billions of years of time passing.

"The Time Law here is completely chaotic." White Night raised his hand to brush the rust off Silver Wolf's fur; the origin energy on his fingertips made a "sizzling" annihilation sound when it touched the corrosion. "That nebula just now was actually a star born only three minutes ago, yet it entered the red giant stage early under the influence of the Chaos energy."

Wind Howling Silver Wolf let out a low whimper, and complex images of time flows appeared in its wolf pupils. Through the Time Law copied by Law Mimicry, it could barely see the "Time Vortexes" hidden in the Sea of Chaos—these vortexes were nodes of Time Law disorder. Some could send those who entered back to the past, while others would throw them directly into the future. The most dangerous "Causality Vortexes" could even reverse the chronological order of events, making the "Effect" appear before the "Cause."

Just at this moment, the origin dharma wheel suddenly trembled violently. In the Multiverse law network projected by the dharma wheel, the area representing the Sea of Chaos suddenly lit up with a blinding red light, and twelve streams of cosmic law energy were interrupted simultaneously, as if forcibly cut off by some power. White Night's heart tightened; his Heavenly Heart Imprint pierced through the Chaos energy, and he actually saw a scene that made his hair stand on end: the advance exploration team sent out three days ago was floating in the nearby Sea of Chaos, but their bodies had turned into transparent time phantoms, and the "Exploration Log" carved on the ship's wreckage recorded: "Three thousand years later, the entire crew died in a time storm."

"It's a Causality Vortex!" White Night realized instantly. "Their 'death' has already become an established fact and is currently backlashing to the present through the Time Law!"

Before he could finish speaking, the phantoms of the exploration team suddenly turned into countless bronze-colored light threads, like living vines, winding toward White Night and Silver Wolf along the Chaos energy. These light threads contained the Causality Law of "established death"; once touched, they would carve the fate brand of "destined to die in the Sea of Chaos" onto the two of them.

"Origin Law: Sever Causality!" White Night injected the energy of the primal law core into the origin dharma wheel. Jagged primal runes appeared on the edge of the pale golden dharma wheel. Every time it rotated, it could sever the causal connections in an area. The light threads shattered one after another under the cutting of the dharma wheel, turning into a sky full of time dust, but more light threads continued to pour out from the wreckage of the exploration team, as if they could never be cut off.

Seeing this, Wind Howling Silver Wolf suddenly turned into a stream of dark golden light and took the initiative to rush into the edge of the Causality Vortex. It pushed Law Mimicry to its limit, and time patterns exactly identical to those of the Sea of Chaos appeared on the surface of its body, actually temporarily disguising itself as a "native creature of the Sea of Chaos," avoiding the lock of the Causality Law. As its wolf claws waved, four-colored origin energy condensed into a space-time rift, forcibly dragging the wreckage of the exploration team into the depths of the rift—since "death" had become a foregone conclusion, then seal this causality in a time crack to avoid affecting more people.

[Wind Howling Silver Wolf has mastered the "Causality Shielding" ability, Law Mimicry has evolved into "Chaos Mimicry"]

[Successfully severed the exploration team's death causality, obtained "Time Crystal" x3 (containing pure disordered time energy)]

Having resolved the crisis of the Causality Vortex, White Night did not relax in the slightest. He could feel a familiar aura coming from the depths of the Sea of Chaos—that was the fluctuation of the primal law core, but it was older and more powerful than the core they brought with them, as if it were the relationship between a "mother body" and a "child body."

"The primal law core… might not be just one." White Night looked at the tumbling dark purple energy cloud in the depths of the Sea of Chaos. "Or rather, the core in our hands is just one of the fragments after the primal universe collapsed."

He took out the time crystals and injected origin energy into them. The crystals cracked under the nourishment of the energy, revealing the curled-up silver light insects inside—these were "Time Insects" bred by the disorder of the Time Law, capable of identifying relatively stable time flows in the Sea of Chaos. White Night placed the three Time Insects on Silver Wolf's back, and the insects immediately crawled toward the direction of the dark purple energy cloud, leaving behind three silver-glowing trails.

The man and the wolf followed the trails deep into the Sea of Chaos, and the flow of time along the way changed constantly. Sometimes, taking a step forward would cause the surrounding Chaos energy to change from ink-black to the pure white of birth (returning to the beginning of the Sea of Chaos's birth); sometimes, pausing for a moment would cause the wreckage of the future to appear beneath their feet (seeing one's own possible ending in advance). Although Silver Wolf's Chaos Mimicry could resist most of the time backlash, when passing through a "Time Fault" with a diameter of a thousand miles, its dark golden fur instantly turned snow-white, as if it had experienced the erosion of eons.

"Hold on!" White Night immediately pressed the primal law core against Silver Wolf's forehead. The transparent crystal erupted with a soft light, dyeing the snow-white fur back to dark golden. However, a tiny crack appeared on the surface of the core because of this; this was the price of forcibly reversing the time backlash.

After passing through the Time Fault, the dark purple energy cloud was finally right before their eyes. This energy cloud was actually a huge "Time Bubble," and floating inside the bubble was a primal law core a hundred times larger than the one in White Night's hand. The surface of the core was wrapped in countless bronze-colored chains—these chains were composed of pure Time Law, evidently, some power was deliberately sealing the core.

"There really is a mother core!" White Night's heart beat violently, and the origin dharma wheel resonated strongly with the core in the bubble. "But these chains… look like they were man-made."

Before the words had even faded, the time bubble suddenly contracted violently.

The moment the bronze chains tautened, countless temporal images surged from the bubble: the brilliant radiance of the primal universe collapsing, the torrent of laws during the birth of the Multiverse, and the energy vortexes from the formation of the Sea of Chaos...

Finally, the images settled on a blurred figure—this figure held the bronze chains, sealing the Mother Core within the time bubble, their movements shockingly similar to the trajectory of White Night's current origin dharma wheel.

"It is the 'First Generation Will'!" The primal law core suddenly throbbed, and a fragmented piece of information flooded into White Night's consciousness. "The final guardian of the primal universe, who injected their own will into the laws of time before the collapse, becoming the overseer of the Sea of Chaos."

As the information flooded in, the bronze chains within the time bubble suddenly came alive, rushing toward White Night and Silver Wolf like countless giant pythons of time.

The laws of time upon the chains were more tyrannical than any backlash they had encountered before; wherever they passed, chaos energy was forcibly compressed into crystals, their surfaces engraved with the time scales from birth to extinction.

"The First Generation Will does not want us to touch the Mother Core!" White Night understood instantly. "It believes the Multiverse is not yet ready to accept the complete primal law!"

He threw the core in his hand toward Silver Wolf: "Take it and fall back! I will try to see if I can communicate with the First Generation Will!"

Silver Wolf, however, blocked the core with its body, a flash of determination in its wolf eyes. It suddenly opened its mouth to bite White Night's sleeve, transferring the energy of its chaos mimicry to White Night, causing his body to be shrouded in dark golden chaos patterns—this was using its own origin to share the burden of the temporal backlash for White Night.

"Let's face it together!" Silver Wolf's consciousness transmitted directly into White Night's sea of consciousness. "We are partners, aren't we?"

White Night felt a warmth in his heart and hesitated no longer. He and Silver Wolf stood back-to-back, their origin dharma wheel and chaos mimicry energies intertwining to form a dark golden Taiji diagram.

The moment the bronze chains struck the Taiji diagram, the two simultaneously mobilized the energy of the primal law core, injecting their own understanding of the Multiverse into the defense—they did not display power, but rather transmitted images of countless civilizations coexisting: the Mechanical Race repairing bodies for Antimatter Universe beings, the Soul Race helping inhabitants of the Dark Energy Universe soothe violent energies, and children of the Quantum Universe studying alongside cultivators of this universe at the Law Academy...

"This is our Multiverse!" White Night's voice pierced the temporal barrier, reaching deep into the time bubble. "It may not be perfect yet, but we have been working hard to make it better! The primal law should not be sealed forever; it should become a bridge for the fusion of the Multiverse!"

The attack of the bronze chains suddenly ceased. Within the time bubble, the blurred figure of the First Generation Will slowly turned around; although their face could not be seen, White Night could feel a gaze filled with vicissitudes falling upon him.

From the cracks in the primal law core, a pale golden flow of light suddenly flew out. After this flow of light merged into the time bubble, the radiance of the bronze chains began to gradually dim.

"The trial... has not yet ended." The voice of the First Generation Will was like a breeze blowing across the ages. Countless law fragments suddenly surged from the time bubble, rapidly reorganizing in the Sea of Chaos to form a figure identical to White Night—this figure held the bronze chains, their eyes cold; it was exactly the "Future Mirror" that White Night might become if he chose to seal the Mother Core.

"Defeat the mirror and prove that you can surpass the choice of the First Generation Will." The voice of the First Generation Will sounded again. "Otherwise, become the new jailer."

The Future Mirror swung the bronze chains, the laws of time operating freely in its hands, every attack carrying the law of causality that "White Night will inevitably become the jailer."

White Night's origin dharma wheel operated sluggishly under the suppression of the law of causality, and even the radiance of the primal law core became dim.

"Do not be influenced by its causality!" Silver Wolf suddenly transformed into a dark golden lightning bolt, crashing into the side of the Future Mirror. Chaos mimicry allowed it to be temporarily immune to the suppression of the law of causality, and its wolf claws, imbued with the power of the primal law, tore open the mirror's defense.

White Night seized the opportunity to launch a counterattack; his origin dharma wheel resonated with the core in his hand, injecting all the law energy of the Multiverse into his light sword: "What I protect is the future of the Multiverse, not the repetition of past trajectories!"

The moment the cyan-gold sword light collided with the bronze chains, the Mother Core within the time bubble suddenly erupted with dazzling light.

The two primal law cores resonated, dragging White Night and the Future Mirror simultaneously into a massive vortex of laws—within this vortex, they had to confront each other's path: choose to seal the primal law in exchange for temporary peace, or risk fusing the laws to pursue a higher level of symbiosis?

Deep within the vortex, White Night saw the memories of the Future Mirror: after it chose to seal the Mother Core, although the Multiverse avoided the risk of law fusion, it was eventually devoured one by one by the "Nirvana Law" from beyond the domain because they fought their own battles.

And the path he chose, while filled with unknowns, could allow the Multiverse to become stronger through fusion, with the ability to resist any external threats.

"I understand." White Night's eyes became incomparably firm. Both his origin dharma wheel and the core in his hand shattered simultaneously, turning into countless specks of law light. These specks of light did not attack the Future Mirror but instead merged into the vortex's law energy. "First Generation Will, sealing is never protection; it is escapism!"

As the words fell, the figure of the Future Mirror began to turn transparent.

The bronze chains within the time bubble shattered completely, and the Mother Core slowly drifted out of the time bubble, merging with the fragments of the core in White Night's hands.

In the moment of fusion, White Night finally understood the hidden suffering of the First Generation Will—it did not want to not release the Mother Core; rather, it was waiting for a successor who could simultaneously master "protection" and "breakthrough."

[Fusion with Mother Core complete, primal law completeness increased to 100%]

[Unlocked "First Generation Inheritance": Master the origin application of the laws of time]

[Wind Howling Silver Wolf has broken through to the peak of the Primal Realm, gaining the "Time Travel" ability]

When the complete primal law core hovered in the center of the Sea of Chaos, the laws of time throughout the entire Sea of Chaos began to stabilize.

The bronze-colored temporal rust faded away, the temporal faults gradually healed, and even the most dangerous causality vortexes turned into calm ripples of energy.

The figure of the First Generation Will slowly dissipated in the radiance of the core. Before dissipating, it nodded slightly toward White Night and Silver Wolf, as if completing a handover that had spanned the ages.

White Night reached out and grasped the complete core; what flowed within the transparent crystal was no longer undifferentiated energy, but the "Origin Torrent" that had fused all the laws of the Multiverse.

He could clearly feel that the law barriers of the Multiverse were gradually merging; a stable "Law Buffer Zone" began to appear at the boundary between this universe and the Antimatter Universe, and the energy storms of the Dark Energy Universe also became gentle under the reconciliation of the primal law.

"We did it." Silver Wolf walked to White Night's side, its dark golden fur gleaming with a soft luster in the light of the core.

Its time travel ability allowed it to see the future of the Multiverse—there, there were no boundaries between universes, no conflicts of laws, only countless civilizations thriving under a common system of laws.

White Night nodded and stored the core into his origin dharma wheel. The dharma wheel had now transformed into a ring of laws encircling the Multiverse, constantly harmonizing the balance of laws across each universe.

He knew this was not the end; deeper within the Sea of Chaos lay even more secrets of the primal universe, and the Nirvana Law from beyond the domain could arrive at any moment.

But there was not a trace of fear in his or Silver Wolf's eyes, only infinite yearning for the future.

As their figures disappeared at the edge of the Sea of Chaos, the complete primal law core transformed into a beam of light piercing through the Multiverse, slowly channeling the energy of the Sea of Chaos into each universe.

These energies were like a catalyst, accelerating the fusion of the Multiverse's laws and heralding the arrival of a brand-new era.

...

At the edge of the Sea of Chaos, the viscous grayish-black energy was like boiling asphalt, and every surge could stir up energy giant waves tens of thousands of miles high.

Intermingled within this energy were shattered fragments of time; some fragments revealed the moment of the primal universe's collapse, while others reflected the future destruction of the Multiverse, and even White Night's origin dharma wheel could not fully decipher the laws within them.

"The timelines here are chaotic." Wind Howling Silver Wolf transformed into its origin form, its dark golden energy body floating gently on the surface of the Sea of Chaos, a vigilant light flickering in its wolf eyes. "My void travel will be interfered with by temporal fragments; forcing a jump might cause us to fall into an unknown time node."

White Night expanded his origin dharma wheel, and a pale golden light formed a law barrier in front of him.

The instant the barrier made contact with the energy of the Sea of Chaos, countless time runes flashed and vanished on the surface of the barrier, and one of the runes actually resonated with the primal law core in his consciousness.

That was the mark of a "time closed loop," meaning that time in the Sea of Chaos did not flow in a disorderly fashion, but cycled repeatedly according to a certain pattern, like a Möbius strip joined head to tail.

"No wonder no patterns could be detected." A flash of realization crossed White Night's eyes. "Time in the Sea of Chaos is not linear, but circular. The 'future scenes' we saw might just be repetitive projections of past events."

He tried injecting the energy of the primal law core into the barrier, and the transparent crystal responded immediately, projecting a complex map of temporal trajectories onto the surface of the barrier.

The map showed that time in the Sea of Chaos completed a cycle every million years, and this moment happened to be at the "node" of the cycle—at this node, fragments of past, present, and future time would briefly overlap, which was the only opportunity to enter the core of the Sea of Chaos.

"The node passage will open in half an hour." White Night calculated against the trajectory map. "But the temporal pressure within the passage will reach its peak; even with cultivation at the late stage of the Primal Realm, one could be crushed into particles by the temporal energy."
