Chapter 29 Domains, Laws, and the Great Dao

"What's going on? Did I arrive too early?"

Following the route, Ye Yang did find an alien relic, a crashed alien cargo spaceship, with only some alloy fragments that were useful.

Aside from that, there was nothing else to gain.

We did find three lakes that were relatively large and had islands in the middle, but we didn't find any trace of the spirit of plants.

Ye Yang found six basins that could potentially form large lakes and islands in the middle of the lake, but unfortunately, he still made no discoveries.

"That old bastard Babata hasn't started cultivating the spirits of plants and trees and the cloud-patterned vines to attract the strong from Earth yet, so I don't know the exact location."

"I don't even know the extent of my own brain capacity. After all, my mental power comes entirely from the cultivation of immortal divine sense, which is completely different from that of a normal mental master, so it cannot be used as a basis for judgment."

"It's not necessarily because my brain domain is too small to be noticed. After all, I cast a fire domain at every location. It's very rare for a planetary-level 1 to have a domain. And I'm a mentalist, so there's no reason why Babata wouldn't be interested."

Ye Yang frowned deeply. He was in a hurry to find the inheritance of Meteorite Star, but more importantly, he wanted to enter the universe!

There are two intact spaceships on Earth. One of them is in a secret compartment of the Star Fleet's "mothership" that crashed in the Pacific Ocean, and it is called "Black Dragon Mountain X81".

The other ship is the future "Relic No. 1", located on the seabed of Bermuda in the Atlantic Ocean. It is a 1200-meter-high silver-white pyramid, an E-class mechanical ship.

The mechanical race's spaceship is beyond Ye Yang's current capabilities, but the Black Dragon Mountain X81 is possible, provided that Babata is brought along to solve the problem of the spaceship's intelligence.

Entering the universe that devours the world is like opening the door to a new world, where all kinds of treasures, trials, battles, and growth potential will instantly increase!

If he remains trapped on this small planet, Ye Yang may find it difficult to make any progress in his understanding of the fundamental laws of the universe even after 40 years.

His goal is the "Peak Genius Battle" 50 years from now, which is a shortcut to entering the core of the Virtual Universe Company.

"If Babata has already discovered me, knows that I possess a domain, but gave up because my brain's breadth is too low..."

Ye Yang thought his brain capacity was really low.

"If I comprehend the nine realms, or even step into the threshold of the fundamental laws, what will you choose?"

Ye Yang was unconvinced; he was determined to go head-to-head with this old guy.

In the Devouring World, the realm is divided into four levels:

Foundation—Artistic Conception—Domain—World!

Universe-level beings begin to possess domains, and Domain Lord-level beings will definitely possess domains!

The next step beyond the Nine Realms is the World, which is also the realm corresponding to the World Lord level.

Reaching the eighth or ninth level allows one to vaguely sense the fluctuations of the universe's origin, thereby gaining insights and crossing the threshold of the fundamental laws.

Next comes gaining recognition from the fundamental laws. If one comprehends a complete lower-level law, such as the Law of Metal, one can attempt to achieve immortality.

The Starry Sky Immortal Alliance, to which Ye Yang's true form belongs, places the world's laws under the "Dao," and the laws are governed by the "Dao."

The laws are the foundation of the "Tao," but they are not the whole story. Similar laws in different worlds can support the existence of the same "Tao."

For example, the fire-based laws of the Immortal Alliance can support a Great Dao of Flames.

When the world is devoured, the fire-based laws of the Immortal Alliance become ineffective, but the Great Dao of Flames will simply fall into silence.

If one can comprehend even a trace of the fundamental law of fire that devours the world, one can awaken the Great Dao of Flames. As more and more fundamental laws of fire from the devoured world are added to it, the Great Dao of Flames will gradually regain its original power.

In other words, the "Dao" defined by the Immortal Alliance is an "operating system" that can be "ported across platforms".

The specific laws governing different worlds are the 'underlying drivers'.

"I have grasped a trace of the Dao of Fire. Although it is still a long way from the true Great Dao, it can at least correspond to a trace of the Fire-type Laws!"

"The Immortal Alliance offers many opportunities to help cultivators comprehend the laws. If all else fails, I'll shamelessly ask my master to evolve a trace of the fire law for me every day."

"By simply infusing a trace of the fire elemental laws from the Immortal Alliance world into my Dao of Flames, it can serve as a reference!"

"Even though the fire laws of the two worlds are different, they can still serve as a reference and greatly raise the threshold for me to enter the fundamental laws of fire."

Ye Yang has made his decision: he will seize both the domain and the laws!

As for whether using the laws of other worlds as a reference might lead us astray... that is indeed possible.

Many of the dungeon raiders in the Immortal Alliance are troubled by this problem.

But so what?

Understanding the laws of nature means learning from the universe and nature itself, with readily available references. If you stray from the right path, you can correct yourself by further understanding nature! It's simply a matter of comprehension.

But what Ye Yang lacks now is not comprehension, but rather the degree of compatibility with the fundamental laws of the universe.

"Walk!"

He leaped into the air and soared into the sky.

……

In the world of the Immortal Alliance, ten days later.

"Master, look! This is the 'Domain' ability I mastered in the dungeon."

After spending 36 days in the Devouring World, Ye Yang successfully condensed the ability of 'Domain' into the embryonic form of his true meaning.

Then, after returning to the Immortal Alliance world, it took another two days to reproduce the 'Domain' ability.

Then they went to Mr. Guo to present their treasures.

"Hey! Watch out, kid! Don't burn my food!"

Seeing Ye Yang unleash his flame domain, instantly engulfing his courtyard in flames, Old Guo was so frightened that he showed a look of terror in front of Ye Yang for the first time.

"Haha, Master, don't worry, I can control it perfectly now."

Ye Yang knew he couldn't make a promise, so after saying that, he immediately shrunk his flame domain to the size of a basketball.

"The cultivation system in this instance is actually quite interesting."

Old Guo narrowed his eyes, staring at the domain power in Ye Yang's hand.

After sensing it for a moment, he smiled and said, "This should be a special application of the fire attribute power in the world. Because you transplanted it here, it has become a control over the fire spiritual energy in the world."

"It's somewhat similar to a natural talent of a fire spirit body."

"However, according to you, this domain ability has nine levels. After reaching the ninth level, one can resonate with the origin of the universe, feel the fluctuations of the universe's origin, and thus begin to comprehend the laws..."

"Why does your universe in this alternate world act like a teacher, laying bare its entire being to others?"

After Guo Lao finished complaining, he also condensed a ball of flame in his hand.

Although he didn't major in fire-based laws, he still knew a little bit about them, since he would need to refine stars to become an immortal.

"Look, this is my idea about the 'Dual Domain,' which incorporates some of the mysteries of array formations and restrictions. Think about it yourself."

Old Guo left the flame where it was and went to continue planting vegetables.

Ye Yang stared intently at the flame, gradually becoming absorbed in it.

"Interesting... Is it possible to restrain fire-attribute power like this?"

"The flames need to spread out and be continuously ignited to unleash more energy. But if the energy isn't concentrated enough, it won't work either, so it needs to be concentrated and compressed after spreading out..."

As the saying goes, a true teaching can be conveyed in a single sentence, while a false teaching can fill countless volumes.

As a cultivator at the Great Completion stage, Elder Guo's seemingly casual guidance was immensely beneficial to Ye Yang.

Gradually, his flame domain underwent a subtle change, becoming more concentrated and intense, restrained and violent, with the two opposing extremes harmoniously unified at this moment.
