406: Divine Domain and Law Weight

"Are the Four Divine Beasts really connected to Revered Master's Twenty-Eight Mansions?" Xu Cunxin murmured softly.

"A little, but unfortunately not much." Wu Xian nodded and smiled, "Speaking of which, can I use these public domain rights now?"

The Four Divine Beasts of the Holy Spirit Dojo were the imprints of the divine scroll left by the original creator.

The Scroll Master who held the copyright had long since passed away, but the copyright was still retained by the Holy Spirit Divine Domain.

So, one can understand the [Divine Domain] as a "copyright company" that long-term holds many high-quality copyright Legacies.

Only divine scroll copyrights that had not joined a Divine Domain, or those whose Divine Domain had "collapsed," would truly become public domain concepts that anyone in the world could freely use.

Now that Wu Xian had joined the Holy Spirit Divine Domain, he could, to a certain extent, use the copyright Legacies held by the "Holy Spirit Copyright Company."

"Yes, but you need to obtain a certain level of authority," Xu Cunxin explained, "For example, Revered Master can already use the Four Divine Beasts before him, and has even obtained the core authority of the Four Divine Beasts."

"Core authority? What does that mean?"

Xu Cunxin said, "To use the copyright Legacy within a Divine Domain, one must establish a Law connection with the corresponding divine scroll. The higher the degree of connection, the higher the Rank of authorization obtained.

Like the Four Divine Beasts, being completely captured by the Twenty-Eight Mansions is equivalent to obtaining the highest level of core authority.

Theoretically, as long as Revered Master thoroughly comprehends the concept of the Four Divine Beasts, he can create the [original]."

"original?" Wu Xian was secretly surprised.

"This can also be considered a major characteristic of a Divine Domain," Xu Cunxin explained, "The divine scroll imprints within a Divine Domain are essentially permanently preserved, so even if the copyright holder passes away, the divine scroll imprint and copyright do not integrate into the public copyright library of the scroll world."

"So that's what a [Divine Domain] is all about." Wu Xian suddenly understood.

There's a saying, looking at problems from different perspectives yields different results.

For the Nine Great Academies and aristocratic Families, this characteristic of Divine Domains was undoubtedly a good thing for continuing the Legacy of their Sects and Families.

But for the vast majority of common people outside the Divine Domain, it was a monopoly of knowledge.

This was also why young Scroll Masters desperately wanted to join a Dojo.

Just the massive "copyright library" alone was enough to equal half a lifetime of effort for an ordinary Scroll Master.

As he pondered, Wu Xian suddenly thought of something, "What if two people obtain core authority at the same time?"

"That won't happen," Xu Cunxin shook her head and smiled, "A single divine scroll copyright will only be granted to one Scroll Master at a time. Only with non-core authority will there be a situation where multiple Scroll Masters compete with each other.

Ultimately, who it goes to depends on who is more outstanding and more powerful."

"What are the criteria for competition? Understanding of the corresponding concept and Law Veins?"

"Exactly," Xu Cunxin nodded, "The divine scroll copyright will automatically choose the most suitable holder, but in this process, it will also be influenced by some special factors."

"What factors?"

"Bloodline and Legacy," Xu Cunxin explained, "The scroll concepts of a Family are often passed down in a single line, so direct descendants will also have a certain advantage when competing for copyright ownership, unless your understanding and improvement of this divine scroll far exceed theirs.

Otherwise, the divine scroll imprint will most likely favor its own Bloodline descendant."

Wu Xian understood, and then, under Xu Cunxin's introduction, he patiently and thoroughly learned about the situation of the Holy Spirit Divine Domain.

The area where the two of them were located belonged to the basic territory of the Xu Family, and there were also divine scroll collections from other aristocratic Families nearby, like clusters of star systems floating in the Universe.

"What are those below?"

Wu Xian looked at the blurry, dim divine scroll phantoms at the very bottom of the Divine Domain.

"Some divine scroll imprints that have been abandoned and eliminated by the development of the times. New Disciples of the Dojo can draw inspiration from them, it's like a junk database, and occasionally, some good inspirations can be found."

Wu Xian understood and turned his gaze to some blurry divine scroll phantoms at the highest point of the Divine Domain.

"What about those above?"

"Legacies left by past sages. Due to missing related Legacies, or being too profound, or not quite fitting the overall development direction of later Divine Domains, future generations gradually lose the ability to glimpse their power and authority," Xu Cunxin said, "My [Valkyrie] was one of them before, and I was fortunate to restore and hold it."

"I see." Wu Xian suddenly understood.

Compared to the divine scroll copyright imprints of the current Holy Spirit Divine Domain, these "dormant" Legacies on the upper and lower sides of the Divine Domain interested him more.

Especially those divine scroll Legacies at the very top, their foundations were all very good.

Soon after, he exited the Divine Domain Law Void with Xu Cunxin and opened his eyes in the hotel room.

Xu Cunxin's phone kept buzzing, indicating that Wu Xian's joining had clearly alarmed all parties in the Holy Spirit Dojo.

Wu Xian, meanwhile, began to carefully feel the Divine Domain's blessing and mysterious characteristics on the divine scroll.

After some introspection, Wu Xian had an epiphany.

He hadn't been entirely clear about what the divine scroll Law Veinscohesion degree specifically was before, but now that he had integrated the Twenty-Eight Mansions into the Holy Spirit Divine Domain and received a massive blessing, he completely understood.

The essence of the Law Veinscohesion degree was actually about competing for weight in the Laws of Heaven and Earth.

The better the foundation of the Law Veins, the higher the basic weight. Subsequent comprehension of Laws and improvement of cohesion degree were essentially about increasing the weight at the relevant Law level.

For the same Law power, the side with higher weight would have more powerful related abilities and characteristics.

And the meaning of a Divine Domain was to unite the Law Veins of similar and related scrolls, providing mutual protection and warmth, thereby increasing their overall weight and status under the rules of the scroll world.

As the saying goes, a single chopstick is easily broken, but a bundle of chopsticks is much stronger.

Or, to put it another way, the importance of one person is absolutely different from the importance of a group of people.

Of course, a Divine Domain only increased the weight of similar Law Veins.

For example, the Twenty-Eight Mansions, currently only the star god series Law Veins related to the "Holy Spirit" system had received a significant boost and blessing.

However, the Twenty-Eight Star Lords, the Heavenly Court Righteous Gods, and some other related background Law Veins did not see a significant improvement.

After all, there were not many scrolls related to the Heavenly Court Righteous Gods in the Holy Spirit Divine Domain, so naturally, no related "group effect" would be generated.

Although it wasn't an all-encompassing, omni-directional improvement, for Wu Xian currently, the improvement was already quite terrifying.

After all, for the [Twenty-Eight Mansions], the star god series of related Laws were the core, the foundation, and their most powerful aspect.

At the very least, the four spirits of heaven summoned later would have their prestige and power greatly enhanced.

Most importantly, Wu Xian could already feel the upgrade concept for the [jade scroll] scroll from the Twenty-Eight Mansions Divine Chart.

It was just a pity that the jade scroll scroll was quite special, and had to use [divine power fragment] as its core material.

This led to most jade scrolls on the market being unique copies.

There was no way around it. The growth and evolution of Otherworld creatures were entirely up to fate. Unless one was incredibly lucky and encountered a pair of "twin" great demons, it was very difficult to find two great demons from the Otherworld with the same "original" characteristics.
