System Possession, One Sword Shocks the Gods

223: Touching the Origin, the Sea of ​​RulesThe instant his palm touched the Wall of Origin, it was not the cold sensation of a solid object, nor was it an impact of energy. Instead, it was a strange sensation impossible to describe with words, as if his Soul had been directly immersed into the river of the Universe’s Origin!

”Hum—!!!”

At this moment, the chaos ancestral talisman within Ye Chen’s Qi Sea erupted with unprecedented light and humming! It was not merely a simple craving, but more like the excitement and mournful cry of a wanderer returning home! The source core (Heart) pulsed violently, the star disk (Eye) frantically deduced, and the fragments of power (Power) vibrated and roared. The stable triangular structure formed by the three actually faintly showed a trend of fusing into one!

Meanwhile, a boundless torrent of information, transcending the concepts of time and space, surged into his Sea of Consciousness like a collapsed galaxy, ignoring Ye Chen’s mental defenses!

This was not language, nor images, but the purest Law itself! It was the manifestation of the most fundamental Laws that constitute this Universe, and perhaps all Universes!

He ”saw” the source of time, that first instant where all things were still, and only the Laws were silently writing; he ”felt” the birth of space, where dimensions unfolded layer by layer like flower petals from absolute ”nothingness”; he ”understood” the essence of energy, not as simple fluctuations, but as the inevitable product of ”existence” and ”motion”; he ”touched” the Foundation of matter, where even the smallest particles were composed of the vibrations of more primordial Law strings...

Life and death, light and dark, creation and destruction, order and Chaos... all opposing concepts lost their boundaries at this moment. They intertwined and transformed like Yin and Yang fish, collectively forming this eternal Wall!

This was an ocean of Laws! It was the birthplace of all Laws!

Ye Chen’s Chaos Domain unfolded involuntarily, generating intense resonance and collision with this sea of Laws! His newly formed Chaos Domain, which he had thought already encompassed all Laws, appeared so immature and crude before these true Origin Laws, like a child looking up at the starry sky!

Excruciating pain! Not the pain of the Physical Body, but the ultimate pain of his Dao Foundation being impacted and his cognition being overturned! His Divine Soul felt as if it were about to burst from this infinite information of Laws, and his Chaos Domain fluctuated violently under the scouring of the sea of Laws, as if it could disintegrate at any moment and be assimilated back into the most primordial Law particles!

”No! My Dao is Chaos! To encompass all things, I must also encompass you Laws!”

Ye Chen let out a roar from the depths of his Soul! He held onto the last shred of clarity in his mind, frantically operating the Primordial Chaos Art, pushing the power of the chaos ancestral talisman to the limit! The grey Chaos Domain no longer tried to resist the scouring of the sea of Laws; instead, like the greediest sponge, it began to frantically absorb, analyze, and fuse these most primordial Law messages!

This was an extremely dangerous process, like dancing on the edge of a blade. Before his own Dao Foundation was assimilated and annihilated by the Laws, he had to understand, digest, and utilize these Laws to further perfect his own Chaos Dao!

Under the baptism of the sea of Laws, his Chaos Domain began to undergo a visible transformation! The scenes within the Domain were no longer simple evolution and extinction, but began to reveal clearer, more essential Law patterns! The flow of time within the Domain became controllable, the folding of space became more refined, the efficiency of energy conversion soared, and he even began to tentatively touch the edges of more ethereal Laws like ”Karma” and ”Fate”!

His use of the authority of power was no longer limited to brute force; he began to understand ”power” as the ”First Cause” driving the operation of Laws. His control over spatial extinction was no longer simple cutting, but began to touch the essence of ”space” as a container for ”existence”. And that power of inclusion and assimilation originating from the chaos ancestral talisman began to evolve towards the direction of ”assimilating” and ”reconstructing” Laws!

His cultivation, amidst this extreme realization and Fusion, began to climb once again! Although he was still at the ninth level of the Tiangang Realm, the solidity of his Foundation and the depth of his understanding of the Laws were already far beyond his peers, taking a solid step towards the legendary ”Law Realm” that transcends the Tiangang Realm!

He did not know how much time had passed; perhaps it was just an instant, or perhaps ten thousand years.

The surging torrent of Law information finally slowly subsided. Ye Chen still maintained the posture of reaching out to touch the wall, his tightly closed eyes slowly opening.

In his eyes, there were no longer stars being born or dying, nor was there the golden light of power or the silver brilliance of space. There was only a profoundly deep calmness, as if reflecting the Wall of Origin itself—encompassing all things, yet transcending the material world.

He slowly withdrew his hand, feeling the changes within himself.

The Chaos Domain had already retracted, but its essence was different. With a slight movement of his mind, the space around him naturally folded, teleporting him a thousand miles away, and then instantly returning him to his original spot as if time had reversed. The entire process was silent, as if it should have been that way. He extended a finger, and a wisp of Chaos Qi swirled around his fingertip. This wisp of Qi sometimes transformed into an indestructible Law barrier, sometimes into the fire of extinction that burned everything, and sometimes into the source of life that nourished all things...

He had already initially acquired the ability to influence and even rewrite the surrounding Laws on a small scale using his own Chaos Dao!

This was the qualitative change brought about by touching the Origin and comprehending the source of the Laws!

However, his gaze became even more solemn. Because in the depths of that sea of Laws, at the source of those endless Laws, he vaguely ”saw” something.

It was not a concrete scene, but a kind of ”trace”. A scar on the Laws that seemed to have been forcibly ”torn” and ”polluted” by some indescribable power filled with the meaning of ”absolute end”!

These scars covered the depths of the sea of Laws, like spiderweb-like cracks on perfect jade, constantly emitting a cold aura that caused all things to return to the ultimate ”nothingness”. And this aura, while sharing the same source as the ”nothingness” black mist encountered before and the ”purification” Law of the Annihilation Legion, was even older and more essential!

The mournful cry and craving transmitted by the chaos ancestral talisman were not just about returning to the Origin, but also contained a kind of... resonance with the sense of mission to repair these Law scars and resist that ”absolute end”!

”Are these... the scars left behind by ’Them’?” Ye Chen whispered to himself, his heart stirred with turbulent waves. The so-called ”War of Origin” was far more tragic than he had imagined; to think that even the Laws that constitute the Universe itself were cracked?!

And the chaos ancestral talisman, along with unknown authorities like ”Creation” and ”Nothingness,” were likely shattered and scattered during that great war!

Just as his mind was shaken, another strange event occurred!

On the Chaos-colored surface of the Wall of Origin, near the spot he had just touched, the Law patterns suddenly began to twist and reorganize, eventually condensing into a door—a door that could only allow one person to pass through, formed from pure light of Laws!

Inside the door, it was not what was behind the wall, but a deeper, more incomprehensible scene of Laws, as if it led to the core of the Wall of Origin, or rather... to the source of those Law scars!

Meanwhile, a cold, indifferent, yet indescribably weary and urgent consciousness transmitted from within the door. It did not come from the chaos ancestral talisman, but directly from the Wall of Origin itself, or rather, it was the cry for help from the remaining instinct of this Universe:

”Inheritor... of the... Chaos... Seed...”

”The scars... of the Laws... are deep... ’Nothingness’... erosion... is intensifying...”

”Enter this door... bear this responsibility... repair... the Laws... or... perish... with the world...”

The consciousness stopped abruptly at this point. The door of Laws floated quietly, waiting for Ye Chen’s choice.

Entering meant he would directly face the terrifying existence that caused the Law scars, take on the heavy mission of repairing the Laws and resisting ”Nothingness,” and the path ahead was destined to be a life-or-death struggle.

Not entering might allow him to live freely with his current power, but the Law scars would continue to worsen, and one day, the entire Universe would be completely devoured by ”Nothingness,” at which point no one would be spared.

Ye Chen looked at the door of Laws, without any hesitation on his face. His Dao Heart, after experiencing the extinction of Guixu, the tempering of life and death, and the baptism of the Origin, had long been as clear as glass.

What he pursued was never a cowardly longevity, but the pinnacle of the Dao of the sword, the other shore of truth, and the absolute power to protect what he cared for in his heart!

Behind this door lay the power he needed, the truth he sought, and the enemy he had to face!

He took a deep breath, stepped forward, and his figure resolutely submerged into that door—formed by the Laws of the Origin!
