Chapter 1017: A Forceful Takeover!

If before, the silver radiance was blinding and warm, then this darker, duller color was as if the chilly night had descended upon the entire world, eclipsing the radiance. A surge of panic began to quietly flow into the hearts and minds of the citizens of the city.

The current radiance made one feel as if they were facing their greatest enemy in their lifetime. A cruel, merciless, and indifferent force. A wave of discomfort coursed through the bodies of everyone, mortal or Ascended, and they shrank back out of instinctual fear. Fear that resonated with their innermost soul.

Liu Suyin lifted her head, her eyes of apathy fractured, as wisps of fear enveloped her thoughts. She, too, felt extremely uncomfortable as the silver radiance was seemingly eaten away by this dull, darker radiance. However, there was a quivering of her Arcane Spatial Soul that confused her.

Was this…excitement? It felt similar to the emotions one might feel if they were reunited with a long-lost sibling after a long, long time. She gulped as her throat felt drier than ever before.

Standing in mid-air, the cloaked woman with blue eyes was trembling. She waved her hand, bringing forth a circular mirror with rims of silver and a series of dull and dark runes. "Time?" Her spoken word seemed to invoke a rippling response from nearby radiance. Her pupils experienced a noticeable shrinkage.

Within Wei Wuyin's heart was Kratos' endless roars of tyrannical strength, pride, and forcefulness. His Sea of Consciousness became immersed in the mental soundwaves and those walls of silver began to take on that darker, duller radiance. As for his body, his blood felt as if it was burning!

"What?!" The Heavenly War Spirit exclaimed in its surprise. Wei Wuyin's mental incarnation shot the Heavenly War Spirit's golden egg and a questioning gaze. Since this incarnation was a byproduct of his Second Mind, he couldn't fully comprehend what was happening.

"The Artificial Link of Law is changing! You're changing it! No, your bloodline is changing its coordinates." The Heavenly War Spirit was slowly discerning the truth, the shocking within its tone growing increasingly abundant. Before Wei Wuyin could respond, it muttered loudly: "I heard that certain Laws were inexplicably linked, like conjoined twins. But this…"

"Changing its coordinates to what?" Wei Wuyin had an idea as Kratos grew restless, exerting and burning its bloodline energies at an extremely fast rate. If it wasn't for his maximized foundation, he would've turned into a desiccated corpse without an ounce of blood by now.

"Time! The Artificial Link of Law is changing from Space to Time!" The Heavenly War Spirit was still slightly baffled by the abrupt and magical change, but nevertheless, its seething excitement was palpating from its eggshell as more golden mist.

Wei Wuyin couldn't understand where its excitement came from. After all, he had a Seed of Law from Jing Jiu and Artificial Seeds of Law from the Battlefield. Albeit, the Seed of War explicitly stated that it could not be used to nurture a Law.

"But I'm not very proficient in time," Wei Wuyin mumbled in concern. If it was space, then Wei Wuyin had acquired insights into all aspects of space from his natural cultivation and experiences, such as riding the Stellar Transit Light, destroying a World Realm, visiting a Chaos Realm, and crystallizing an entire continent. But when it came to time, he was quite low-tier in his overall understanding of its profound powers.

He had once tried to concoct a ninth-grade pellet called the Isolated Flowing World Pellet. It was one of the few training products that were designed as a pellet. If used properly, it created a temporary environmental location isolated from the world, and the rate of time within was 30% faster than the outside. This 30% can be increased to nearly three times at the peak-quality.

Unfortunately, despite his Draconic Void Soul, he was unable to properly contain and process that isolation power. It wasn't that his Draconic Void Soul was lacking or its Void Energy, but he couldn't properly utilize it to formulate it according to the concoction method provided. Essentially, his understanding of time was severely lacking in comparison to its creator, even if the feats he had already achieved were far greater.

If he reached the Temporal Eye Phase, capable of observing the flow of time, then his understanding could potentially jump leaps and bounds.

Fortunately, while Wei Wuyin's concerns were genuine, as he would never be able to attain the 'recognition' of a Law in his current state, Kratos was acting as the main target for this! It was forcefully claiming this recognition!

As a True Void Dragon, a being of the Void Dao, would the Law of Time dare refuse?!

NO!

ROAR!

ABSOLUTELY FUCKING NOT!

The Heavenly War Spirit watched as the silver radiance was converted into that dark, dull radiance of time, unleashing another explosive cascade of light that slammed against Wei Wuyin.

DOOSH!

Wei Wuyin was solely enveloped by this light. The faint image of a cloudy silhouette manifested. It stood at 108,000 meters tall, like a mythical divinity overseeing the entire world! Faintly, thirteen rings were effusing spiritual light.

It only lasted enough time for the blink of an Ascended eye, so even those grand beings beyond the concept of mortals were unable to properly ascertain its existence or origin. Not even the cloaked figure, who missed it by focusing too heavily on the changes in her handheld mirror. Those blue eyes of hers emitted a worrisome gaze.

"The Endless Void Mirror's core energies are being consumed a little too fast. At this rate…" the cloaked woman whispered worryingly. Fortunately, her worries came to an end as the radiance dimmed considerably, and then, shortly after the Formless Divinity Soul Idol faded, the link to the Laws was severed.

After this, Wei Wuyin's mental incarnation felt his primary mind begin to lose its heavy carry load. It revealed a relieved expression as it tapped its foot, sending mental marks containing the details of its recently acquired knowledge before abruptly dispersing. It had returned to its slumbering state, hidden in the depths of Eden's base.

After the phenomenon of the City of Endless came to an end, Wei Wuyin and Ye Ziling were surrounded by strange esoteric runes that they had never seen before. These were the faint remnants, the lingering evidence, of the Laws' descent.

Ye Ziling was still unconscious; she peacefully slept as her body exuded a robust spatial aura. Wei Wuyin, on the other hand, leaked nothing. If one saw him prior to the descent and now, they would discover very little difference. When Wei Wuyin's eyes regained their liveliness, he exhaled a breath of turbid air.

Currently, Wei Wuyin was deeply intrigued by the sequence of events. Was this the over 3,000 Karmic Surge of Luck? His opportunity? It didn't seem too difficult to obtain. After all, the Heavenly Daos could've just had him use the Ancient Void Gate on the Myriad Yore Continent to arrive here and experience almost the same thing, right? That could've been easier than moving the Vice-Sect Master to take action.

What Wei Wuyin didn't know…

-----

In the Stellar Nest, a bright violet eye that could span a continent surrounded by scales slinked downwards into the depths of the surface that emitted an icy chill. There were a series of thick fissure-like cracks on its surface that were being rapidly repaired. It was stained with violet-colored fluid resembling blood.

-----

The Heavenly Daos were extremely meticulous; it ensured there was no chance of failure that the opportunity would occur, and that it was all solely reliant on Wei Wuyin's chances as an Exploitative Blessed to grasp it.

Ensuring that a certain conversation wouldn't cause the Void Voyage Sect to inspect the Endless Void Mirror beforehand—for example.

Or if Wei Wuyin was capable of taking advantage of this extremely narrow window of opportunity, having the courage, insight, and fortitude to do so.

-----

Despite Wei Wuyin's skepticism, he fully understood that various matters of forceful influences and the arrangement of background pieces had taken place. While he didn't know the exact details, he experienced and personally witnessed Lin Ming's Karmic Surge.

How many pieces had to be properly moved to ensure that Lin Ming inevitably became a Chosen? Just from his prespective, Bai Yuxi, Tang Xingyun, Venerable Spiritwalker, Wang Yutian, the lack of interference from other Ascended, and the willingness to forgo risk and give away one's life. There were probably tens of more little things amassing to the whole.

It truly was unfair.

"You've obtained two Seeds of Law!" The Heavenly War Spirit's voice resounded in his Sea of Consciousness. Its little girl-like voice was seething through, absolutely giddy with excitement.

Wei Wuyin sensed his soul, feeling like two will-o-wisp-like objects made of gooey glop were swirling around, tethered and attached. It bore a heavy resemblance to Jing Jiu and Long Chen's Seeds of Law, but unlike theirs, his Seeds of Law were silver and a dull grey, bordering black. He frowned as he noticed faint spiritual light strings connected to these Seeds of Law. They led directly to his beating heart!

Kratos!

There seemed to be two sets of strings present. There was one that sent Soul Light into the Seeds of Law and another that sent a unique force from the seeds to Kratos. It was as if they had established themselves as organs, exclusively connected to his heart.

Would this mean that he wouldn't die unless his Seeds of Law were extracted from his body? He had the strangest feeling that as long as his heart was obliterated in its entirely, the Seeds of Law would vanish from his soul. Did this mean that Wei Wuyin had to completely obliterate Jing Jiu and Long Chen's Dantian to ensure their deaths otherwise their souls would be tethered to it? Was that why?

Uncovering a mystery like this brought Wei Wuyin heavy relief. He made sure to be mindful and obliterate his enemies unless to eliminate the slightest chance of their survival. After all, Hong Ru was revived by Mortal-tier alchemical means, so a powerful Ascended might be able to outright fully restore them from merely their fleshy bits with greater ease.

Just as Wei Wuyin was about to seek out an explanation about what Seeds of Law, Laws, the Artificial Link of Laws, and everything else regarding them, Liu Suyin arrived before him, and her eyes regained their signature indifferent state.

"Come with me," she directly ordered, walking away.
