182: millennium
After the three domains merged, Lin Ye began to comprehend the laws.
For the merged domain to become a law, it must advance simultaneously.
However, this simultaneous advancement is benevolent; when one moves, the others will strengthen accordingly, making it not much more difficult than comprehending a single law.
“It seems I also need to consider developing skills,” Lin Ye muttered to himself. He had accumulated nearly a century’s worth of skill points. (Skill points are now measured in years.)
This vast amount of skill points was enough for him to develop terrifyingly powerful skills.
“But before that, I’ll comprehend the laws first.”
Skill development would naturally be based on the domain.
Lin Ye entered a long period of comprehending the laws.
The Fusion of Time, Space, and Stars, a trinity, naturally increased the aspects to comprehend, but with the existence of the innate ability Original Universe, it didn't seem too difficult.
Lin Ye still couldn't control the Original Universe even now, despite the Star Transformation cultivation method having been developed to the Star System Level.
Under the enhancement of skill points, Star Transformation was designed as the most top-tier cultivation method for his physique, but even so, it still couldn't unleash the power of the Original Universe.
For him, the current Original Universe was still a cultivation accelerator and a law magnifier.
But he believed that the day he mastered the Original Universe, he would eventually become invincible.
Through diligent effort, Lin Ye took three hundred years to comprehend the laws.
When countless law fragments appeared, Lin Ye had a faint realization: that was the law.
The mark on his head spun wildly, transforming, and finally condensed into a law.
“Is this the law?” Lin Ye grasped his hand, and a perfect operation of the Star appeared in his palm.
The operation of the Star perfectly conformed to the Great Dao, secretly containing truth and reason.
And on the Law Stele, his ranking soared, reaching the five hundredth position.
“Lin Ye’s speed is too slow, isn’t it? William, the most outstanding one of their generation, has already reached the three hundredth position.”
“Exactly, exactly. The other three also comprehended laws several centuries earlier than him. It seems he has exhausted his talent.”
“Heh, how are you qualified to say a genius has exhausted his talent? He comprehended Fusion Laws, and they are all top-tier ones, meticulously refined and steadily advancing, alright?”
Some approved, some opposed, but they all shared a common understanding: Lin Ye’s progress was too slow.
But then, they realized their mistake.
In less than ten years, Lin Ye comprehended the Destiny Law, and in less than five years, he comprehended the Soul Law. These two domains had actually accumulated to their peak, so they took less time.
This progress in laws left everyone dumbfounded.
“Alright, I underestimated him.”
“Did you notice something? Lin Ye’s first three laws broke through together.”
“Are you saying?”
Everyone was surprised.
Triple Fusion?
How is that possible?
Well, why not? Combining a series of strange signs, everyone confirmed the fact of Lin Ye’s triple Fusion.
“Heavens, I haven’t even comprehended a single law, and he has already fused three laws.”
“The gap between people is too great.”
“I’m tired, let’s just destroy everything.”
And Lin Ye’s classmates sent messages asking questions.
Lin Ye was stunned, realizing that the Law Stele had backstabbed him. Well, it seemed it couldn’t be hidden anymore.
So he didn’t hide much and told his classmates, and for a while, there were many wails and cries.
In secret, all disciples within the Galaxy Realm received a gag order from the Galaxy Lord, and everyone complied without exception.
This Galaxy Lord was merely an avatar and naturally could not alter the main body’s rules, so he could only keep Lin Ye’s secret through this method.
Lin Ye ignored the outside commotion and continued to comprehend the laws.
“The difficulty of comprehending this law is actually so high.” Lin Ye frowned.
After comprehending the law, the progress in the perfect law was only 0.1% according to the percentage. No wonder so many direct disciples were still at the introductory level even now.
He comprehended for a hundred years, and the law progress only increased by 0.1.
“It’s too difficult.” Lin Ye felt very tired.
Based on the current progress, he would barely be able to comprehend the entire law only when his lifespan was exhausted.
His current lifespan was one hundred thousand years.
The lifespan of an ordinary Star System Level was ten thousand years, but due to his relationship with the Lord of Time, his lifespan had increased tenfold to one hundred thousand years.
A hundred years only for 0.1% progress, so it would barely be completed in one hundred thousand years! And it couldn't be calculated that way, because it would become more difficult to comprehend the further one progressed.
“No wonder they all say to try to comprehend as much as possible before the Star Domain Level.”
Comprehension at the Star System Level was too difficult.
Advancing to the Star Domain Level would bring a wave of heavenly rewards, infusing laws into the core. At this time, the stronger one's own laws, the more laws one could naturally absorb.
However, one should not neglect the fundamental for the trivial and excessively suppress one's level, because no matter how many heavenly rewards there were, it would not be as much as directly comprehending laws using that time at the Star Domain Level.
“Forget it, I’ll break through to the Star Domain Level within a thousand years.” Lin Ye secretly planned.
He also needed to set aside some time to develop corresponding skills, unleash the power of the laws, and face the challenges after leaving the Galaxy Realm.
Time flew by quickly. In the blink of an eye, another four hundred years passed, and Lin Ye’s law progress had reached 0.6%.
Without further hesitation, he chose to break through.
All preparations for the breakthrough had been made. Rare and exotic treasures from the outside were not uncommon here.
Lin Ye bathed in the baptism of the universal laws and began to break through.
Countless laws enveloped him, and the Original Universe within him frantically absorbed and expanded itself.
And the nine Star Cores also began to split, constantly dividing, evolving into a Star Domain.
Lin Ye’s strength achieved a leap.
And the laws were also continuously improving, one percent, two percent, three percent...
It only stopped when it reached ten percent.
After the breakthrough was complete, he examined the changes in his body.

The skill list hadn’t changed much, as he hadn’t participated in any battles for the past nine hundred years, so he naturally hadn’t focused on comprehending them.
It was time to develop skills.
Although Lin Ye hadn't developed many skills in the past nine hundred years, he had absorbed a lot of skill knowledge. The Galaxy Lord's teaching efficiency was too high.
In his mind, he already had the prototypes of several skills.
Developing existing skills appropriately could also greatly improve development efficiency.
It wasn’t that skills with more fused laws were necessarily stronger. For example, for Wormhole, why would you need to fuse other laws? It just needs to perform its displacement function.
Other situations were similar.
For functional skills, generally no major changes were needed.
What needed to change were offensive, defensive, and speed-type skills.
Attacks with more fused laws were undoubtedly stronger, defenses with more fused laws were also stronger, and so was speed.
This would require Lin Ye to spend a considerable amount of time.
