110: Chapter 110 First-Level God
After returning to Wanxiang University from the outskirts of the Dark Domain, Shen Ye did not immediately enter seclusion.
Breaking through to a Level 1 God did not require a short burst of power, but a comprehensive qualitative transformation of the Law density of his entire Divine Kingdom.
The gap between a Level 2 God and a Level 1 God was even greater than that between a Level 3 God and a Level 2 God—it was not a simple doubling of the Divine Kingdom's area, but a fundamental tempering of the Law density at its Foundation.
In the Law Analysis Laboratory, he and Lin Tianyin dismantled the complete blueprint of the Twilight Seal within the Dark Domain's inner layer into hundreds of Law patterns, marking the energy flow and decay cycles one by one.
The ancient inscriptions deciphered by Jiang Yue showed that when the Ancestor of the Abyss personally sealed this mass of primordial essence before falling, he did not use brute force, but a highly sophisticated Law folding technique—he folded the essence within the time interlayer of the Seal's inner layer. Only someone possessing the complete Fusion Law of both Holy Light and the primordial abyss could perceive its existence.
The Crown Prince could not find it no matter how hard he tried in his life, not because he wasn't strong enough, but because he only possessed Shiyuan Law and lacked Twilight Energy, making it impossible for him to ever trigger the essence's resonance.
"This Seal itself will not repel your Twilight Energy, but satisfying a hard condition is required to open it."
Lin Tianyin magnified the Seal blueprint to the center of the hologram, where a tiny Law pattern in the deepest part of the Seal's inner layer rotated slowly in the dark golden beam of light. "You must calibrate the Law resonance precision of the Twilight Apostle to an extremely high degree—this pattern is a verification mechanism personally carved by the Ancestor of the Abyss using his own primordial Origin. It will automatically compare the resonance frequency when it senses energy of the same source. If the error exceeds a certain range, the Seal will not open."
She pushed up her glasses and performed a final synchronization calibration of the Time Law Array parameters just sent by Bai Ye with the Seal's interlayer. "The flow of time inside the Seal's inner layer is inconsistent with the outside world; the closer you get to the essence, the slower time becomes. You need to complete the resonance calibration within the coverage of the Time Law Array, otherwise, you will be trapped by the time anomaly zone."
Over the next few days, Shen Ye sank his consciousness into the Land of Gods and Demons, repeatedly practicing the Twilight Apostle's Law resonance with Chen and Ye in front of the Twilight Altar.
Chen injected Holy Light faith into the core of every Apostle along the Law patterns inside the altar, while Ye synchronously infused abyss faith along a perfectly symmetrical path. The two types of faith fused into stable golden-purple Twilight Energy within the Apostles, and the error in resonance frequency was compressed bit by bit.
Meanwhile, he activated the portable twilight beacons rushed out by Tie Chui one by one. Each time one was activated, a higher-grade beacon of the same type condensed deep within the Land of Gods and Demons—the trigger frequency of Gain Without Labor reached a new peak in just a few days, and the Law density gap between a Level 2 God and a Level 1 God was filled bit by bit by the continuously pouring in high-grade beacons.
Bai Ye came to Wanxiang University from Shenyu University to perform a final round of synchronization calibration between the Bai family's ancient star map and the time anomaly zone of the Dark Domain Seal.
He embedded the micro Time Law beacon into a portable Time Law Array base, and the beacon automatically matched the time anomaly frequency of the Seal's interlayer.
"The time flow inside the Seal's inner layer is much slower than the outside, and the closer you are to the essence, the slower it gets. You have at most a few hours of outside time to perform the resonance calibration in the Seal's inner layer. Exceeding this time limit, the Crown Prince's remnants will break through the outer defense line. I have synchronized the Time Law Array's coverage parameters with your twilight longsword; after breaking the Seal, the array will automatically lock onto the time interlayer where the essence is located."
Qin Youyou sent an encrypted message from the front-line camp of the Independent Pioneer Sequence.
She had led her team to the outskirts of the Dark Domain and completed a merger with Cang Ming's front-line camp.
The vanguard of the Crown Prince's remnants had been suppressed in a residual belt of ash Law scorch marks on the outskirts of the Dark Domain, temporarily unable to break through the defense line.
She added at the end of the message: "We will hold the perimeter. You focus on the Breakthrough, don't worry about the rear."
Before departure, Yan Shan deduced the underground Spiritual Qi flow of the last few nodes of the Dark Domain's inner Seal layer in the depths of the Body Refining Cave.
Hou Tu crouched beside him, palms pressed to the ground, clearly distinguishing the vibration frequency of the interference Law between the inner layer of the Seal and the Crown Prince's remnants on the perimeter.
"The Shiyuan patterns on the outer layer of the Seal have thinned a lot after the last beacon suppression, but the Crown Prince's remnants are still using interference Law to try to reinforce it. The distribution of interference nodes is very scattered and needs to be cleared."
The Rock Patterns on Yan Shan's right arm automatically hardened under the pulsation of the Heart of Twilight. "Give me a very short time, and I will shatter all the interference nodes. You focus on breaking the Seal."
The flying boat took off from Wanxiang University before dawn.
The light beams of the four towers on Lake Heart Island rotated slowly outside the porthole. Shen Ye leaned against the porthole, the heart deep in his Dantian beating powerfully, each pulsation pumping Twilight Energy into his limbs and bones.
Bai Ye sat opposite him, the portable Time Law Array base on his knees emitting a faint pure golden light.
Yan Shan and Hou Tu sat in the corner of the cargo hold, the obsidian slab in front of them newly updated with the precise coordinates of the last few nodes of the Dark Domain's inner Seal layer.
Qin Shu pushed the engine to the limit, and the flying boat sped toward the Dark Domain, trailing a pale blue tail flame.
The eternal dark red sky above the Dark Domain was torn open by a larger crack by the Twilight Light Network.
The flying boat landed in front of the recessed area on the southwest side of the Seal. The tip of Qin Youyou's war spear drew a bright arc on the Law barrier on the outskirts of the Dark Domain, and the vanguard of the Crown Prince's remnants was suppressed in the residual belt of ash Law scorch marks, temporarily unable to break through the defense line.
Shen Ye activated the last batch of portable twilight beacons around the Seal one by one. The moment each beacon lit up, Gain Without Labor was triggered simultaneously, and the density of the Twilight Light Network deep within the Land of Gods and Demons climbed at a visible speed.
He sank his consciousness into the Land of Gods and Demons, where Chen and Ye stood on both sides of the Twilight Altar, calling out the repeatedly calibrated Twilight Apostles from the queue.
The Law resonance frequency of the Twilight Apostles was perfectly synchronized with the resonance waveform of the primordial essence in the Seal's inner layer, and the Twilight ripples generated by the resonance spread toward the depths circle after circle on the surface of the Seal.
The tiny Law pattern in the Seal's inner layer sensed the approach of the same-source energy and lit up automatically the moment the Twilight ripples touched it.
Yan Shan stepped forward, the Rock Patterns on his right arm hardened to the limit, and Hou Tu had already transmitted the precise coordinates of the Crown Prince's remnants' interference nodes on the outer layer of the Seal into his Sea of Consciousness.
He threw several punches at the most dense intersection of interference Law in the recessed area of the Seal, each punch accurately hitting a node core. The Spiral Spiritual Power was transmitted in reverse along the energy flow veins of the interference Law, shattering all the interference nodes set up by the remnants simultaneously.
The fragments of the collapsing interference Law were frozen in mid-air by Bai Ye's Time Stop Domain, and the Shiyuan patterns on the outer layer of the Seal were completely exposed.
Bai Ye fully expanded the Time Law Array, and pure golden light formed a highly stable Time Stop Domain around the Seal base.
He embedded the micro Time Law beacon into the Seal's interlayer, and the beacon automatically matched the time anomaly frequency of the Seal's inner layer.
"Starting now, the time you can move freely in the inner layer of the Seal is a few hours of outside time. Exceeding this time limit, the Time Law beacon will be ejected by the Law pressure of the Seal's inner layer, and you will be trapped by the time anomaly zone. Within a few hours, the resonance calibration must be completed."
Shen Ye nodded and placed the twilight longsword against the resonance node in the Seal's inner layer.
The resonance frequency of the Twilight Apostles was perfectly synchronized with the longsword at this moment, and Holy Light and the primordial abyss were injected into the Seal patterns along the sword body.
The tiny Law pattern in the Seal's inner layer began to compare the resonance frequency inch by inch—with an error within one ten-thousandth, all the dark golden Law patterns on the Seal's surface lit up simultaneously.
The inner layer of the Seal silently dissolved, and the Time Law Array automatically locked onto the time interlayer where the essence was located.
Deep within the Seal was a tiny Law cavity.
Time was folded into countless layers here, and each layer sealed a wisp of memory fragments of the Ancestor of the Abyss before falling.
Shen Ye passed through layers of time ripples within the coverage of the Time Law Array. Every time a ripple touched his Dantian, the Heart of Twilight would automatically identify and absorb those undistorted primordial abyss Law fragments.
The Law density of his Divine Kingdom climbed at a stable and solid speed during this absorption process, not an explosive Breakthrough, but like a huge container slowly filling with pure water.
In the deepest part of the Seal, that mass of primordial abyss essence floated in the very center of the time interlayer.
It was only the size of a fist, flowing with extremely pure dark golden light throughout its body. Deep within the light, one could see the Law structure of the Void Race ancestors from countless years ago before they fell—complete, balanced, without a trace of distortion.
It sensed the pulsation of the Heart of Twilight in Shen Ye's body and began to beat slowly at exactly the same frequency.
Two masses of same-source energy resonated from afar across the Seal space, each resonance making the Law density of the Twilight Energy in Shen Ye's body a bit purer.
Shen Ye reached into the time interlayer and gently held the essence in his palm.
The touch was extremely light and soft, exactly the same as when he first touched the flame of the Heart of Twilight in the Twilight Palace years ago.
The essence automatically merged into his palm, penetrating his skin, Meridians, and Dantian, becoming one with the Heart of Twilight.
An extremely piercing golden-purple light erupted from deep within his heart—not the crashing shatter of breaking a Bottleneck, but like a gate being slowly opened, the long-accumulated Law energy flowed orderly along the Meridians to his limbs and bones, to the core of his Divine Kingdom, and to the Dantian of every vassal.
In the Cultivation Divine Kingdom, the area expanded steadily and powerfully outward from nearly ten million square kilometers.
The branches of the Spirit Spring mountain range split from dozens into hundreds of independent mountain systems, Spirit Fields spread toward the distance along the newborn river valleys, and mineral veins surged up from deep underground.
Jin Lin sat cross-legged on the top of the sword stele, his body shrouded in a layer of faint dark golden sword Domain—that was the sign of the Nascent Soul Stage, and the little dragon on his shoulder wandered back and forth in the sword Domain.
The number of Golden Core Stage Sword Cultivators exceeded several thousand, and the first batch of Nascent Soul Early Stage Sword Cultivators began to transform from Golden Core Perfection.
Mu Sheng's perception vines extended from hundreds to thousands, Daoist Quan sat cross-legged by the spirit spring, and the three-spiral merged Cavitation Cloud rotated slowly in his palm.
Tie Chui turned up the temperature of all furnaces by two levels, and Qing Ye's Spirit Plant Guidance Pill grew a piece of flowing Twilight pattern under the new Law density.
Yan Shan opened his eyes in the depths of the Body Refining Cave, newborn Rock Patterns spreading from his shoulder blades to his spine, and Hou Tu pressed his palms to the ground and told his father that the mineral vein had extended downward again.
In the Land of Gods and Demons, the total number of angels and succubi moved toward twenty million, and the proportion of high-level vassals with four wings or more exceeded fifty percent.
The daily output of Twilight Apostles jumped from nearly a thousand to several thousand, and the altar base emitted a very long resonance hum under the joint infusion of Chen and Ye.
The Law patterns of the primordial abyss essence spread along the Dantian Meridians to his whole body, completely merging with the Heart of Twilight.
Shen Ye perceived that his Twilight Energy simultaneously possessed the complete Law frequencies of Holy Light, the primordial abyss, and the Void Royal Family Bloodline.
He opened his eyes.
The Law density of a Level 1 God was firmly solidified in his body, not a hollow Foundation left after a short burst, but a solid Foundation naturally filled after being repeatedly tempered by layers of time ripples in the depths of the Seal and absorbing a large number of primordial abyss Law fragments.
The Seal cavity began to close slowly after the essence was taken away, the pure golden light of the Time Law beacon ejected from the Seal's interlayer, and Bai Ye withdrew the Time Law Array.
Shen Ye put the longsword into the Land of Gods and Demons and walked out of the Seal.
The Rock Patterns on Yan Shan's right arm slowly faded from hardening, Hou Tu withdrew his palms from the ground, and Qin Youyou carried her war spear and rushed over from the perimeter, the bone blade fragments newly added to the spear tip still gleaming with a fresh dark purple.
After returning to Wanxiang University, Shen Ye handed the complete data of the primordial essence Fusion and the absorption record of the inner layer Law fragments to Lin Tianyin.
She performed a final round of cross-comparison between the complete Law blueprint of the Void Royal Family Bloodline preserved in the essence and the Seal repair circuit, confirming that after the distorted Law was blocked from the Bloodline root, the Ancestor of the Abyss deep in the Seal could no longer radiate distorted Law outward through the royal Bloodline.
Although this ancient heart was still beating, its diffusion network had been cut off from the root, and the speed at which the repair circuit autonomously healed the Seal would be greatly accelerated.
Outside the window, the Twilight was thick on the lake, and the light beams of the four towers rotated slowly in the night sky.
The Law density of a Level 1 God was completely solidified, and the next stage was the True God ninth rank.
The heart deep in his Dantian beat powerfully, each pulsation echoing with the expanse of Twilight Light Network at the end of the horizon.
Shen Ye re-wrapped Gu Yan's broken sword with spirit power silk and pushed open the dormitory door.
The sensor lights in the corridor lit up one by one. Liu Yang's amulet was still pinned to his chest, the stitches crooked, and one corner was sewn inside out, exactly the same as before.
The thick fog of the Sea of Thousand Realms Mist had dissipated, the Crown Prince's Perfect Abyss-Devouring Body had perished, the diffusion network of the Ancestor of the Abyss was broken, and the twilight beacons at all front-line camps were shining steadily in the night sky.
