Chapter 307: Chapter 307 Children of Nightmare

Lin Xiao suddenly froze.

The pure Rule Aggregate, wasn’t that the very thing formed from a few threads of rules he had obtained by refining the Large Evil Spirit Body with a hundred units of Creation Energy?

Refining that thing, he directly birthed his fourth true name, mastered a large number of God’s Laws, and on top of his already Rank 4 twenty-one points of Divinity, he gained a whole six units of Divinity in one go, which was outrageously strong.

And this one seemed several times larger than the one he had refined before.

Stars sparkled in his eyes as excitement overtook him.

The Divine Treasure of Myriad, aside from those useless resources, what he could use was a hundred units of Crystal Wall Origin, the Eternal Cloud Palace and Eternal Cloud Sea that could summon Titan Giants, a Top-tier Heirloom, and a Rule Aggregation Crystal.

Besides that, there was nothing else.

It seemed a bit scant at first glance, but in reality, it wasn’t.

Because those hundred units of Crystal Wall Origin could enhance everything, including causing his Clan to mutate or evolve into new species, upgrade Heroes, or even create new Heroes, or directly strengthen the Divine Realm, and so on.

With this, he needed no other various things. Coupled with a few other extremely high-quality treasures, it constituted the great Divine Treasure of Myriad.

Moreover, the Divine Treasure of Myriad itself contained an inheritance privilege, which in some respect, the value of this privilege alone surpassed all other rewards.

If, and it’s a big if, the Lord of All Things actually perished completely, the inheritance left by a Lord of the Crystal Wall System, even just a part of it, would be beyond the imagination of ordinary deities.

The premise is that the Lord of All Things had truly perished completely, which was too mysterious; Lin Xiao wouldn’t count on waiting for an inheritance. The benefits he had now were enough for the current stage.

Throwing the hundred units of Crystal Wall Origin he obtained from the Divine Treasure of Myriad into the Creation Rubik’s Cube, he decomposed it again to obtain a thousand units of Creation Energy. Then, he took out the outer shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core, into which the Eternal Fire had been placed long ago. Now, only enough Creation Energy was needed.

He had a premonition that the consumption for this enhancement would be quite large, possibly not stopping at a thousand. This was also the main reason he opened the Divine Treasure of Myriad first.

With such massive consumption, he also had a premonition that the gain would definitely be worth over a thousand units of Creation Energy.

After preparing himself, with a thought, a whole five hundred units of Creation Energy exploded violently. Inside the Creation Rubik’s Cube, it was as if a universe exploded, infinite Creation Energy transformed into a blaze covering the entire Magic Cube Space. As the outer shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core at the center of the Magic Cube Space began to merge with the Eternal Fire, a faint attraction emerged, causing the vast Creation blaze within the Magic Cube Space to slowly rotate, forming a contracting vortex of light.

At this moment, Lin Xiao’s consciousness sank directly into the Magic Cube Space, penetrating the outer shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core, touching the core essence that was undergoing mysterious changes beyond his comprehension.

Infinite Laws and Powers of Rules shattered, dispersed, but under the constraints of Creation Energy, they aggregated again, sorting laws and rule threads categorically, using the magic of the Creation Rubik’s Cube to turn decay into a marvel, and transforming the Creation Energy into the same quality as these laws and rule threads.

It was hard to describe this scene with words. It was imprecise to use quality to describe laws, but he couldn’t find the right words to convey just how marvelous the changes unfolding before his eyes were.

“Creation!”

Yes, only ‘creation’ could describe it.

Under the indescribable magic of the Creation Rubik’s Cube, with the mysterious Creation Energy simulating the rules inherent to the Eternal Fire, he patched up the incomplete rules that came with a small portion of the Eternal Fire, reshaping a complete foundational grid of basic rules.

Yes, the most basic, and extremely minute.

There was only so much Creation Energy, and it was just an outer shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core, not an actual Crystal Wall System before him. It was impossible to compile a perfect one.

Even if he managed to compile it, there was no place to put it.

The ceaseless stream of Creation Energy injected into it perfectioned the rules, and a network imperceptible to the naked eye but perceivable by sensation gradually took shape within the outer shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core.

With the activated sliver of Crystal Wall Origin Will as the core, like a web, it expanded outward, covering the entire outer shell of the Crystal Wall Core like a spiderweb until, in the moment it was filled, an indescribable impact ejected his consciousness from the Crystal Wall Core. When he tried to look again, he couldn’t enter.

He could feel special changes occurring inside, but his limited knowledge prevented him from understanding what those changes were. He could only wait, wait for the internal changes to complete themselves.

Taking advantage of this time, he checked the remaining Creation Energy, which was over eight hundred units, indicating that the recent enhancement consumed nearly twelve hundred units of Creation Energy—a staggering amount.

After some thought, he opened his palm, and the Rule Aggregation Crystal appeared in his hand. Looking at this treasure, Lin Xiao pondered for a moment and decided to use it right away.

Just like the previously refined rules, there was now a pre-formed crystallized form, saving him the step of merging the tangled threads of law from before. He directly infused Creation Energy to melt the crystallized mass into a contracting singularity that transformed into a black hole, with continuous Creation Energy flowing into it to form an accretion disk.

Compared to the last time when only a hundred units of Creation Energy were consumed, this Rule Aggregate Crystal contained several times more pure rule power than before. He expected the consumption of Creation Energy to be greater this time.

Quickly, fifty units of Creation Energy were consumed, and the rate continued without decline.

Before long, the consumption of Creation Energy reached a hundred, and then ‘Boom!’ the black hole suddenly collapsed into a singularity and, unexpectedly, exploded, stunning him.

It wasn’t the few hundred points he had anticipated. Although there was more condensed pure power of law this time, the consumption of Creation Energy did not change as expected—it was still a hundred units.

He didn’t have time to be annoyed at this; he quickly gathered his will, beginning to experience the burst of Law Fragments and knowledge from the singularity explosion.

Absorbed, his Soul of God turned upside down, the endless knowledge and power upliftment were intoxicating.

If only Lin Xiao could stay in this state forever, but unfortunately, that’s impossible.

This enlightenment, a state akin to being baptized by the origin of the world, ended quickly. Lin Xiao eagerly opened the Deity panel, his lips curving into a smile.

“Ober…”

To be honest, Lin Xiao had no recollection of this part of his true name. The part representing the Creation Law, “Ao,” was familiar, but “Truth” was rarely heard of. Across the Crystal Wall Universes, he had not heard of any famed God of Truth, nor had he heard the name Ober.

Of course, it could be due to his limited knowledge and experiences, and it was possible he simply hadn’t come across it.

The “Ober” part was quite common; the single character “Ober” is related to spells, most notably the renowned Great Arcane Mages of the Ferren Crystal Wall Universe, who always claim to be the masters of truth—perhaps that’s one of the origins of this part of his true name.

Regardless, Lin Xiao’s fourth part of his true name had emerged—Complete name: Cyberlex Meyer Ao Ober.

“Very good!”

Lin Xiao looked up at the Divine Palace Dome, where only a massive amount of milky Belief Power was converging at the top of the palace, with nothing else visible.

But it wasn’t the dome he was watching—it was…

He had a premonition, sensing that something was about to happen.

Lin Xiao speculated that it must be related to the Elite Subranking. With the consolidation of the fourth part of his true name and a high Divinity score of thirty-six points, he had completely met all the criteria for a spot on the Elite Subranking. There was no reason not to be listed.

Checking his attribute panel again, aside from the newly consolidated fourth part of his true name, there were not many other changes.

These were mainly the significant increase in the mastery of both the Truth Divine Position and the Creation Divine Position, as well as an additional nine points to his Divinity from the previous baseline.

The Rule Aggregate formed this time was several times larger than the last, yet the improvement wasn’t as high as he had imagined.

This indicated that whether it was an increase in Divinity or mastery in Godhood, progress was not linear but rather geometrical—the further along, the more diminished the incremental gains.

It made sense, given the percentage of Godhood mastery—if each consolidation could reliably result in such a substantial increase, one could theoretically reach 100% mastery of the Rule of Truth in about two hundred iterations, and that is the limit of Powerful Divine Power. It couldn’t possibly be so easy.

As for the thirty-six points of Divinity, that, too, was incredibly impressive. Just four points shy of forty, he was close to crossing into Rank 5 Divinity. Now, it was likely he had surpassed Wu Zhonglin.

Rank 5 Divinity, marked by having more than forty points and up to less than a hundred, is the theoretical limit of Divinity. The famed Supreme Demigods are required to have a minimum of Rank 5 Divinity.

Rank 5 Divinity is termed the theoretical limit because, as one gets closer to that upper limit, increasing Divinity becomes increasingly difficult. Advancing further upon reaching Rank 5 is nearly impossible; even True Gods rarely possess Rank 5 Divinity. Hence, for Normal Demigods, it’s a theoretical extremity.

His thoughts drifting off into the far reaches of the sky for a moment, Lin Xiao was soon drawn back by the anomalies within the Magic Cube Space. He immersed his consciousness there for a while, afterwards revealing an odd look on his face.

The changes within the outer shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core were complete, and the foundational base layer of the rule network had begun to take shape. Strictly speaking, this aspect was now finished; the oddity for him had nothing to do with this, but rather with the subsequent enhancement direction of this Crystal Wall System’s Core.

There were two possible directions: one was to fill in the existing foundational base rule network and enhance it to perfection. Then with adequate preparation, he could establish his own set of Crystal Wall rules in addition to the current basic rule grid.

However, if he chose this course, the core would be unable to continue with repairs for a significant time because the rules needed to be completed before any further work could be done.
