857: Dr. Bai, known as Little Commander

Lao Bai was indeed right; what he said was exactly what Yang Dian was thinking.

However, Yang Dian still wanted to be stubborn for a few words.

"Didn't The Female Emperor say that wherever a Return to Ruins node exists, there is a high probability of having a celestial Legacy?"

"I don't have to go to the Destiny Realm to find a celestial Legacy."

Yang Dian first looked towards the core position of the Thousand Star Battlefield, the place where he had just been in seclusion.

With the core as the source, the spider web that had enmeshed the entire Thousand Star Battlefield within the Cloud Silk Web had already become tattered and broken.

Recalling the 'deliciousness' of the spider web, Yang Dian smacked his lips while pointing at the Heavenly Dao Spider, which was still lying on the core of the spider web, showing no signs of moving even though it had shrunk by a circle.

"Not to mention that there is a Return to Ruins node right beneath the body of that Heavenly Dao Spider."

"There is also a Return to Ruins node inside Tiannan Star, which has already become the West Lake Grotto-Heaven, and that Return to Ruins node poses no danger to me at all."

"If I want to find a celestial Legacy, can't I just go into that Return to Ruins in the West Lake Grotto-Heaven to look for it?..."

After arguing with Lao Bai for a bit, Yang Dian immediately looked towards Planet 1355, the location of The Female Emperor:

"But then again, the Law abilities you have mastered are truly outrageous. You can actually turn living people into NPCs, do whatever you want with them, and others can't put up any resistance, only able to act under the Laws you set."

"I have also mastered the Data Law, so why can't I do what you do?"

Lao Bai glanced at Yang Dian sideways:

"Your mind is entirely on Laws like the Five Elements, Fate, Yin and Yang, Life and Death, Destruction, and Devouring. Have you really put in the effort to comprehend the Data Law?"

"You want something for nothing; you're dreaming."

Having said this, Lao Bai pondered for a moment, then his whole body began to emit a green light from the inside out.

A moment later, a green data stream flowed over him, streaming like water towards his glabella, finally converging into a green gemstone composed of countless characters.

"This is all the Data Law I have mastered."

"Try to see how much you can comprehend from it."

Yang Dian took the Data Law crystal, and after pondering for a moment, a pale void appeared in his palm.

The Law crystal fell into it, and immediately, all the Data Law that Lao Bai had mastered emerged in Yang Dian's mind one by one.

Simple things like digitizing individual information.

Complex things like turning real intelligent life into NPCs, turning independent individuals into digitized bodies to become players, and while erasing all of a player's weaknesses, also allowing players to level up through experience.

There was also the ability to digitize an entire area and create backups, so that even if this area suffered significant damage later, it could be refreshed with a single thought.

Turning hostile units into monsters, and allowing them to be repeatedly refreshed, turning them into one of the sources of experience points for 'players'...

The Data Law mastered by Lao Bai was gradually and perfectly devoured by the Devouring Law, finally turning into the power mastered by Yang Dian, becoming a part of his own power.

After a long time, the void in Yang Dian's palm collapsed and vanished.

Having emerged from the comprehension of the Law, he looked at Lao Bai with a face full of amazement:

"Not bad, Lao Bai."

"How long have you even been Cultivating? This ability to understand Laws is about to surpass Uncle Yue."

"It's just a pity that you are left with only a brain, making martial arts training troublesome. Otherwise, if you Cultivated the Martial Dao, with the sufficient resources I could provide you, you would step into the Fifth Stage in minutes."

Lao Bai tilted his head up:

"Who said that if I only have a brain left, I can't Cultivate the Blood Qi Martial Dao?"

"Nothing in the world is difficult for one who sets their mind to it."

"Not to mention that my body is still there, I could completely perform a surgery to have the brain move back into the original body."

"With my intelligence, couldn't I synthesize the Martial Dao Legacy within the territory map, as well as all the Cultivation Techniques of other civilizations, to create a set of Cultivation Techniques that can be practiced with just a brain?"

"Once my Blood Qi grows to a certain level, it is not impossible for me to undergo Rebirth from a drop of blood and regain a body."

Yang Dian blinked his eyes twice, and two images appeared in his mind.

One was Lao Bai's brain, which was larger than a house, 'living' inside the body of a normal person, creating the image of a big-headed doll.

The other was the image of Lao Bai's brain nerves trembling, suddenly surging with brain marrow to exercise his Blood Qi.

Thinking of these two images, Yang Dian suddenly didn't know what expression to show.

"Can't you just create a digitized body for yourself and add some data like Blood Qi to it?"

Lao Bai reached out and flicked his own body:

"Isn't what I have now a digitized body?"

As he spoke, he clenched his fist, and a ten-thousand-foot-tall smoke of Blood Qi rose from his body, with the elemental powers of Earth, Fire, Wind, and Water flowing wantonly behind him:

"Unfortunately, my computing power is insufficient; I can only parse out Third Stage Blood Qi and various elemental powers."

"Not counting the attribute modification from the Data Law, this body can only unleash the destructive power of the Third Stage limit."

Hearing this, Yang Dian couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth.

The Data Law mastered by Lao Bai was still outrageous.

As long as there was enough energy, he could completely modify the Life and Defense attributes of an entire planet to 1.

Then, he only needed to modify the Attack power of any 'player' to 2.

Even a player with the lowest strength could rely on attribute suppression to smash a planet that had a volume countless times larger than them but only had 1 in Life and Defense with a single slap.

Thinking of Lao Bai's way of becoming stronger, Yang Dian extended his index finger again.

The power of Data Law - Copy surged at Yang Dian's fingertip, and the power of Data Law - Paste acted on Lao Bai.

Half a minute later, Lao Bai, with three inches of green light emitting from his eyes, began to twitch his cheeks:

"Alright, alright, stop copying and pasting. My computing power can't handle it!"

Yang Dian stopped his movements as requested:

"I copied and pasted a portion of Law power that can only be perfectly used at the Fourth Stage of strength for you. Can you use it?"

While the data stream in Lao Bai's eyes flowed crazily, he also diverted a sliver of his attention to answer Yang Dian:

"It should be possible, but I need to digitize and organize these Laws first."

"If the Data Law I have mastered is converted into Martial Dao strength, it is at the Fourth Stage Early Stage."

"As long as the energy is sufficient, I can use any power that belongs to the Fourth Stage Early Stage or below."

Yang Dian stroked his chin thoughtfully:

"You just focus on comprehending the Data Law, and then copy and paste the Data Law you have mastered to me."

"I will then copy and paste the other Law powers I have mastered at the corresponding stage to you. Tsk."

"As long as the Data Law you master keeps up, and we keep copying and pasting, your strength will soon catch up to mine. At that time..."

Having said this, Yang Dian suddenly stopped speaking.

At that time, what?

Wouldn't it be that at that time, Dr. Bai could be respectfully called Little Commander by others?

Yang Dian was afraid of hurting Lao Bai's self-esteem by saying it out loud, so he chose not to.

But how smart was Lao Bai?

Although Yang Dian didn't say it, he understood the meaning of Yang Dian's hidden words almost in an instant.

He wanted to explode.

But thinking of the vast, smoke-like Law information in his mind, he fell silent again.

The Law information that Yang Dian copied and pasted to him only involved a portion of information below the Fourth Stage Early Stage.

But even for this portion of information, with his current computing power, it would take him several years to parse and organize it to turn it into his own power.

And in the same amount of time, Yang Dian would have long since stepped into the Fifth Stage.

He might have even walked an unknown distance within the Fifth Stage.

'Damn it, even with cheats, I can't compare to him? ...'
