Book 12: Chapter 86: Void (1)

It took Dyon much less time to finish balancing the world core of the world of yin wind. There were two reasons for this. For one, the world was several levels weaker than the Dark Flame bubble world and was mostly unoccupied. As a result, there were less complexities that came from outside interferences as well.

However, this was only the first reason. The main reason was because Dyon’s comprehension of fundamental runes was increasing at astonishing speeds. Despite the fact he knew nothing of yang earth energies as well, his ability to infer and deduce became more and more devastating as he learned more. His ability to draw conclusions from inferences could only become more potent that more world cores he balanced.

It took Dyon over 10 years to comprehend the desert world’s core, 30 to balance the Dark Flame bubble world’s core, and not even 5 to create a star of yang earth fundamental runes that turned the violent yin wind world into a gentle land.

Over time, Dyon came to understand just how far he was from that expert who balanced the desert bubble world’s core.

Why was it that a world that should have been of ice because it was covered in oppressive heat and endless underground volcanoes? If the world was balanced, shouldn’t it have a mild environment?

It was only after his third year in the yin wind bubble world that Dyon understood. The original blue star world core was growing old, yet the red star was still going strong… Whoever that expert was managed to create a world core more eternal than even a true world core was.

That reality was so unfathomable to Dyon that he found it hard to wrap his head around it. If one was growing old, why were they so balanced still? How can a core both be stronger and capable of maintaining balance at the same time?

It was a classic case of more knowledge leading to more questions. Was it even possible to understand all things perfectly?

Dyon was certain that the current world cores he could create would manage to last a few million years with ease. However, what would happen after this point was difficult to tell. What he did know was that this eternal characteristic this mysterious expert seemed to be able to tap into was far beyond his current self.

The good news was that this wouldn’t affect his foundation. Dyon was incredibly limited in the energies he could absorb and couldn’t hold down even a single percent of what the world core stored. As a result, it was no problem for him at all. If there ever came a day where he could absorb an entire world core, then he would worry about it then. For now it was most important to focus on slowly improving himself. Aiming to take too large of a step would only be a detriment to him.

One might wonder at this point that if Dyon couldn’t absorb so much energy, how was it that he was creating a world core that housed so much in the first place?

This was actually a question Dyon had had to ask himself as well. However, obviously due to the fact he had succeeded, he had found the correct answer: let the Heavens do all the work.

Instead of trying to draw all of the fundamental runes from scratch, Dyon simply manipulated and changed those that already existed. After all, fundamental runes didn’t represent much in particular on their own. Depending on their arrangements, the same runes could lead to drastically different results. It was for this reason Junior’s analogy to quantum physics was so apropos.

By using this method, completing a world core essentially became a massive large scale puzzle that required computing power that would fry the most powerful quantum computers.

Dyon’s task was to rearrange the fundamental runes of the existing core both without disrupting its strength and instigating the creation of another. It was almost like creating mass from thin air or insulting the laws of thermodynamics by creating energy.

This was why Dyon’s speed was increasing so quickly. The more he understood about rearranging fundamental runes, the better he could implement these tricks across all manner of end goals. There would ultimately come a day where several years would no longer be needed for these weak worlds.

There was only one more target world on Dyon’s radar. Yin earth and yang wind seemed to be quite rare, so he had yet to find it, unfortunately. However Dyon was certain that with enough time, he would. With so many bubble worlds in existence, he didn’t believe that one of these worlds didn’t exist.

Another unfortunate thing was that Dyon hadn’t been able to easily find immortal grade type qi stones to study. They would definitely result in his strength reaching another level entirely. But, they seemed impossible to get without interacting with the Failed Immortal Clans.

Though Dyon could treat the failed clans of the mortal plane’s ancient battlefield like a joke, he obviously couldn’t do the same here.

The immortal Ancient Battlefield had more systematic organization to them, and they were far less primitive. From what Dyon could tell, they split the key resources amongst themselves and took their type qi stone mines very seriously for obvious reasons.

The weakest clans who could claim such a mine all had Immortal Laws experts in their ranks, Dyon couldn’t make moves of them casually. That would have to wait until he perfectly laid his foundation.

Once he finished that, he could create miniature and perfectly balanced world cores in his inner world, and then the real fun could begin.
