479 Creature of Law
The sky and earth collapsed, and the stars fell.
Almost every inch of land in the outside world had been destroyed. However, most of the battles were the strong beating up the weak, so Chen Yiming wasn’t affected at all.
Moreover, Chen Yiming wasn’t from the Infinite Island Group, so he didn’t need to take on the task of stopping the main force of the source ore shops. Therefore, he naturally prioritized picking on the weaker ones.
To third-parties like him, it made no difference whether it was the source ore shops, the Infinite Island Group, or an unidentified person. They were all targeting the people carrying the source ores.
In less than an hour, Chen Yiming had obtained nearly 100 million Skill Points.
“This source ore shop is too rich. It’s like an ordinary family whose basement is filled with gold bricks. No wonder others are coveting it.”
The people Chen Yiming had encountered who weren’t from the source ore shops all had bright eyes when they saw the source ores with their own eyes. They were extremely excited and weren’t afraid of death.
Indeed, such a banquet would only happen once in countless years. Those below the star evolution realm who dared to participate had already put their lives on the line and wanted to get their hands on as much as they could.
After seeing a source ore expert being reduced to ashes when he tried to prevent the source ores from being snatched away,
Chen Yiming sighed from the bottom of his heart. “Strength is the foundation. These experts only guarded the treasures and didn’t use them to build up their own strength.”
“After accumulating a certain amount of treasure, even without the Infinite Island Group, there will still be factions of the same level who will take action and take the lead to split the accumulated treasure.”
Since he personally participated in the battle, he had a much deeper understanding of the situation than before.
Now that he thought about it, it could be said that in the abandoned world, all kinds of preparations had been made to fight for the true dragon’s corpse. An invisible tacit understanding had been formed between them to split the source ores from the source ore shops.
There were definitely many third-party factions behind the Infinite Island Group that were pushing for this operation. They might even have secretly provided a lot of help.
Otherwise, why would it be that after a few years, the areas outside the south mountain range acted as if they did not see anything and did not do anything? A large number of forces had been gathered by the Infinite Island Group.
On second thought, the factions from the source ore shops had lured the immortal faction over. The intervention of factions from another galaxy seemed like the final struggle of a trapped beast. It made sense that the divine temple from the immortal factions had switched sides so easily.
In the end, the immortal factions had not been able to turn the situation around. There were still many restrictions on crossing the distance of several galaxies. It was difficult to fight against the top forces of their opponent.
…
A day later, Chen Yiming managed to get the Skill Points accumulated in the talent system to 300 million.
He glanced at the endless expanse of land. There were still battles everywhere, but he could no longer wait to save up another 300 million Skill Points to upgrade his two talents at the same time.
Soon, with a thought, the 300 million Skill Points were reset to zero.
His Level-7 Undying Body talent had been upgraded to the Level-8 Undying Body talent. Immediately, a powerful force appeared in the depths of his divine world. Chen Yiming immediately chose to undergo his transformation while still on the battlefield.
The transformation of his body had just begun, but his perception had undergone a qualitative change.
The entire battlefield in the south mountain range seemed to be under his gaze. The expressions on each person’s face could not escape his eyes, but they did not realize that they were being watched.
It wasn’t that no one had noticed it. For example, although Gao Shuai and Li Tengfei didn’t see the invisible eye, their sixth sense detected it and caused them to feel extremely uncomfortable.
Gao Shuai’s eyes lit up. After sensing that something was amiss, he approached the endless sea to the east. It seemed like he wanted to look for Chen Yiming to discuss it.
After Li Tengfei found the ruler of Heaven Suppressing City, he secretly discussed moving further north. He seemed to have intentions of retreating early.
“What’s going on?”
Chen Yiming still hadn’t figured out the changes that had happened to him. Dust filled the air and his body was gradually buried underground.
However, this did not affect the transformation of his body and the change in his perception after upgrading the Undying Body talent.
Time quickly passed by.
Chen Yiming’s strength increased steadily.
However, it didn’t cause any shocking phenomena, nor did it cause any huge commotion. Instead, Chen Yiming’s figure gradually disappeared from below the ground.
Every inch of his flesh and blood fused into the void, turning into chains of natural laws. It was as if he was in a different dimension from everyone on the battlefield and had truly come into contact with the essence of the universe.
This was the truth. He first named this perception state ‘insight’.
Under the insight state, his ability to process information was unbelievably powerful. It was already so terrifying in the abandoned world, and after leaving the planet and going beyond the range of its suppression effect, it was unknown how far-reaching it would be.
He had a feeling that the range was not just in the single digits, but dozens or even hundreds of light-years. Nothing within his line of sight could escape his insight.
At this moment, the transformation seemed to have stopped.
Was there a problem???
Chen Yiming had already transformed into chains of natural laws that fused into the air. Therefore, only his thoughts were changing, and there was no change in his expression. However, if that was possible, his expression would have changed drastically.
The special abilities of the talent system was his greatest source of confidence in his cultivation path. Why did it suddenly seem to be faulty? What went wrong?
However, he could not figure it out, but someone understood what had happened.
Under the ground where Chen Yiming’s figure had disappeared, a ring was lying quietly. It trembled from time to time, but it didn’t fuse with the void.
…
In the space in the ring, this place had already changed drastically, becoming like a palace.
The female spirit was no longer in the form of a spirit. She was wearing a crown and a golden dress. Her gaze seemed to penetrate space and time as she looked into the void.
The young man formed by the treasure tree seemed to have grown a few years older, and his aura was countless times stronger than before. He had already cultivated to the star evolution realm.
“Your Majesty, why don’t we take advantage of the chaos and secretly leave?”
the young man formed by the treasure tree suddenly spoke.
In reality, he could have left long ago, or even disappeared silently more than once, but he had never really made the decision to leave.
The main thing was that the treasure tree did not have the final say. The female spirit was the one in charge. The treasure tree was equivalent to a loyal servant, and everything it had obtained was a reward from his mistress.
“His bloodline talent is too impure, and the process of transforming into a creature of law has stopped.”
The female spirit did not answer the treasure tree directly. Instead, she frowned.
“Isn’t that just great? If he really succeeds in the transformation, won’t he become on the same level as you, Your Majesty? At that time, if he has any ill intentions…”
After the young man formed by the treasure tree said this, he immediately became anxious.
The person he was referring to was an incomparably terrifying existence who had escaped with her injuries to the Hidden Dragon Galaxy. Although she had recovered a lot, she was still far from fully recovered.
The female spirit did not think much of it and quickly fell back into her thoughts.
To her, the changes in Chen Yiming were much faster than she had expected.
If Chen Yiming had started his transformation from the star evolution realm, she wouldn’t have hesitated to let the young man transformed from the treasure tree leave with the ring so that she wouldn’t be in danger.
…
After the system remained frozen for a while, a notification appeared on the system interface. It turned out that Chen Yiming had added too many talents, causing him to fail in his transformation.
Now, he had two choices. The first was to abandon all his talents other than the Undying Body talent and turn them into resources for the Undying Body talent.
The second choice was to pause the transformation. When he accumulated enough Skill Points, all his talents would fuse and form an unknown physique.
“Accumulate more Skill Points? How long will it take?”
Chen Yiming refused it in his heart. The Undying Body talent was already a top-notch talent. Using it as a form of transformation wouldn’t make him weaker than anyone else.
At this moment, he analyzed his body.
Before he underwent the transformation, his combat strength was completely comparable to a god at the star evolution realm. After the transformation, he might even be comparable to the ruler of a galaxy.
At that time, he would probably be able to suppress the entire Hidden Dragon Galaxy with his own hands. Even without the Giant Talent, the space anchor, and his swordsmanship talent, there was nothing to be sad about.
After thinking it through, Chen Yiming felt that a few things had disappeared from his heart.
At the same time, the spiritual figure turned into a stream of light and fused with the void. Then, it fused with his body and the transformation resumed.
“My insight state is still active.”
After the spiritual figure returned to him, Chen Yiming understood the essence of the insight state.
It turned out that this was the spiritual talent that he was born with. It was not brought about by the talent system. However, most of this perception talent was assigned to the spiritual figure.
No wonder he had learned all kinds of cultivation techniques at a glance from the moment he came into contact with martial arts. Chen Yiming suddenly realized that it came from his natural talent for insight.
In addition, the Undying Body talent was based on the physical body. The insight talent allowed one to see through the spiritual aspect. The compatibility of the two talents was extremely high, and they could even complement each other. It was not erased by the talent system.
“It seems that even without the talent system, I, a transmigrator, am still talented. No wonder I was chosen by the system.”
Chen Yiming was gratified. He felt that the system had chosen a suitable candidate. To him, the system had accelerated his growth and made his cultivation path smooth and simple.
Otherwise, with his talent in insight, he could still climb to the top step by step. The only difference was the time he took and the direction he took.
“I can completely rely on my own hard work. The talent system is only a support.”
Chen Yiming finally dared to shout in his heart that he had worked hard day after day to find essence energy for the talent system, but he was being hunted down because of this…
…
Time passed.
In the battle in the south mountain range, those below the star evolution realm gradually withdrew from the battlefield.
The main force of the source ore shops had started a true battle with the gods at the star evolution realm, who outnumbered them.
The enemy was not only the Infinite Island Group, but also some third-party factions that had rushed over from other parts of the abandoned world. There were even factions from other galaxies mixed in.
Not long after.
A divine source ore expert was besieged by a battle god ape, the monks from the divine temple, and a demonic plant. His blood dyed the air, and the killing formation shattered. His body could no longer withstand the attacks.
Divine source ore experts were all people who had gone specialized in building array formations. If not for the fact that the Infinite Island Group had used the power of the stars to stir up the entire world and cause a huge commotion, they would not have been in such a passive position.
Given enough time, they could completely set up a peerless killing formation and stall for time. It would still be unknown which side would win.
At this moment, someone suddenly exclaimed.
This person realized that a portion of the source ores he was carrying had mysteriously disappeared.
Then, the entire battlefield in the south mountain range fell into a strange silence. Everyone stopped and confronted each other. Many people encountered the same strange situation.
But how was it possible that the source ores had disappeared right under their noses?
This was unbelievable and they could not understand how this had happened.
…
In a dimension that the gods could not perceive, the scope of Chen Yiming’s insight was constantly expanding. After the pause in the transformation resumed, he quickly reached the point where he was almost omnipotent and knew everything in the entire abandoned world.
Gradually, a blurry figure appeared in the air. He was motionless like a statue, but it caused the entire world to tremble.
“Gasp! That’s…”
In an invisible dimension, Chen Yiming’s will was like a natural law that existed everywhere. It could appear wherever he wanted it to.
The power of the natural laws seemed to have crossed the barrier of space and time and appeared at any location. The Undying Law was a powerful existence among them, and almost nothing could stop it.
At the same time, Chen Yiming saw a river flowing from one end of the universe to another.
Countless star spirits from the living planets were continuously absorbing materials from this river. It seemed that this was the source of the essence energy in the cores of the worlds.
Soon, Chen Yiming also had the intention to absorb the essence energy from the river.
Immediately, a warning voice sounded in his heart. Once he insisted on doing this, he would start a war with the river. This was a battle between creatures of law.
“This… is too petty.”
Chen Yiming extinguished the thought. After all, he had just completed his transformation and wasn’t sure where he stood in this new level.
Turning around, he started to study his transformed self and realized that he was no longer a human.
In his current state, his body was no longer made of flesh and blood, his divine world no longer existed, and no trace of his spiritual power could be found.
However, he was indeed present in the universe. The Undying Law carried his will, and he could create thousands of clones with a single thought. He could use the clones to go further into the galaxy.
In other words, at his current level, he only needed to leave behind a clone and stay in the Hidden Dragon Galaxy which had lost its territorial lord. He did not need to worry about the humans from the blue planet at all.
The territorial lord of the Hidden Dragon Galaxy was still nowhere to be seen, and it was unclear if he was still alive. After Chen Yiming’s transformation, he could confirm that this was because the black tide had already started to make a move in this place.
In an instant, Chen Yiming saw through the path of cultivation of the gods.
Comparing the gods at the three stages of the star condensation realm, the jade star realm, and the star evolution realm, it could be said that the essence of a god was to walk down the path of cultivation towards a creature of law.
From the fact that they had not come into full contact with the power of the natural laws to the fact that they used the divine world as a medium to become a creature of law, the divine power was an external manifestation of the natural laws. It represented the level of mastery of the power of the natural laws.
At this moment, Chen Yiming summoned the talent system’s interface again.
Chen Yiming
Talent: Insight, Undying
Realm: Level-1 Creature of Law
“My talent level, Skill Points, and physique have all disappeared?”
Chen Yiming noticed that the only level displayed was that for the creature of law.
It turned out that creatures of law were also divided into different levels. He just did not know which aspect could be improved. Without any hints, he had no way of knowing.
