The Era of Gods

Chapter 292: Holidays and Going Home

Lin Xiao suddenly froze.

He realized this pure Rule Aggregate was precisely the same substance he had obtained by refining a large Evil Spirit Body with a hundred units of Creation Energy, which formed from the remnants of rules.

Refining that substance, he had directly given birth to his fourth True Name, gained a vast mastery over God’s Law, and on the basis of his current Rank 4 twenty-one Divinity points, had gained an entire six units of Divinity in one go. It was ridiculously powerful.

Moreover, this piece seemed to be several times larger than the one he had refined before.

His eyes immediately sparkled with excitement.

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

Beyond that, there was nothing else.

It might seem a bit scant, but in reality, it was quite significant.

Because those one hundred units of Crystal Wall Origin could strengthen everything, including mutating or evolving his Clan into new species, upgrading heroes, or birthing new heroes, or directly strengthening the Divine Realm, and so on.

With this, he didn’t need other miscellaneous things. With a few other extremely high-quality treasures added, it constituted the renowned Divine Treasure of Myriad.

Furthermore, the Divine Treasure of Myriad itself contained an inheritance right. In some respects, just the value of this inheritance right surpassed all other rewards.

If, and that’s a big if, the Lord of All Things really had fallen completely, an 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 prerequisite is that the Lord of All Things really had fallen completely, which is too mysterious. Lin Xiao wouldn’t count on inheriting anything; the benefits at this stage were enough for him.

He threw the one hundred units of Crystal Wall Origin obtained from the Divine Treasure of Myriad into the Creation Rubik’s Cube, breaking it down again to get one thousand units of Creation Energy, then he brought out the shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core. The Eternal Fire had already been placed inside it, and now all that was missing was enough Creation Energy.

He had a presentiment that this strengthening would consume a great deal, possibly even more than a thousand units, which was the main reason he opened the Divine Treasure of Myriad first.

He also felt the harvest would definitely be worth the expenditure of over a thousand units of Creation Energy.

Making preparations, he willed it, and an entire five hundred units of Creation Energy exploded at once. It was like a cosmic explosion within the Creation Rubik’s Cube, as boundless Creation Energy transformed into a blaze, covering the entire Magic Cube Space. As the Crystal Wall System’s Core shell at the center of the Magic Cube Space began to merge with the Eternal Fire, a faint attraction emerged, pulling at the vast Creation blaze, slowly rotating in a massive whirlpool folding inwards.

At that moment, Lin Xiao’s consciousness delved into the Magic Cube Space, sinking into the Crystal Wall System’s Core shell, touching the very Origin Core undergoing mysterious changes beyond his understanding.

Infinite Rules and the powers of Law shattered, dispersed, yet recombined under the constraint of Creation Energy, sorting all the Rules, all the threads of Law, categorizing them. With the magic of the Creation Rubik’s Cube, Creation Energy transformed decay into wonder, morphing into the very same texture as these Rules and threads.

It’s difficult to describe this scene with words; it’s imprecise to describe Laws with texture, but for now, he couldn’t find any words to capture how magical the changes unfolding before his eyes were.

“Creation!”

Yes, only “creation” could describe it.

Under the indescribable power of the Creation Rubik’s Cube, paired with the mysterious energies of Creation, simulating the innate rules of the Eternal Fire, the incomplete rules were amended, and a complete foundational network of basic rules was reshaped.

Well, it was just the most fundamental and minute.

Creation Energy was limited, it was just a shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core, not an actual Crystal Wall System before him—so he couldn’t possibly craft a perfect one.

Even if he did craft it, there would be no place to keep it.

Endless Creation Energy poured in, perfecting the rules, and a network, invisible to the naked eye but perceptible by feeling, slowly took shape within the Crystal Wall System’s Core shell.

With that spark of awakened Crystal Wall Origin Will as the core, it spread outwards like a net, expanding and stretching like a spider web across the entire Crystal Wall Core shell, and in the instant it became fully ensconced, an indescribable impact ejected his consciousness from the Crystal Wall Core shell, preventing him from looking any further.

He could sense that a peculiar transformation was happening inside, but his limited knowledge didn’t allow him to understand what it was; he could only wait for the internal changes to complete by themselves.

While waiting, he checked that he still had over eight hundred units of Creation Energy left, which meant that in just a short while, he had used nearly twelve hundred units—a truly extravagant amount.

After some thought, he opened his palm and the Rule Aggregation Crystal appeared in the center. Contemplating the treasure, Lin Xiao decided to use it now.

Just like the previous refining of rules, this time it was already a crystalline form, saving the initial step of merging the tangled threads of Law. He directly injected Creation Energy, fusing this lump into a shrinking singularity that became a black hole, into which a continuous stream of Creation Energy flowed, forming an accretion disk.

Compared to the previous consumption of a hundred units of Creation Energy, this Rule Aggregation Crystal contained several times more pure power of the rules, so he expected it would cost even more Creation Energy.

Soon, fifty units of Creation Energy were consumed, with no slowdown in sight.

In no time, he saw the consumption reach a hundred, and with a ‘boom!’ the black hole unexpectedly collapsed into a singularity, which then exploded outside his predictions, leaving him utterly stunned.

It wasn’t the few hundred points he had expected. Although the aggregation of pure Laws was greater, the consumption of Creation Energy was surprisingly the same, still only a hundred units.

He couldn’t dwell on these subtleties; he quickly gathered his wits and began to comprehend the Law Fragments and knowledge released from the explosion of the singularity.

Intoxicated and enchanted, the endless knowledge and power enhancement were utterly immersive.

If he could, Lin Xiao would love to remain in this state forever, but unfortunately, it was not possible.

This state, akin to an epiphany or being endowed with the essence of the world, ended quickly, and Lin Xiao couldn’t wait to open the Deity Panel, his lips curling up into a smile.

“Ober….”

Honestly, Lin Xiao had no recollection of this part of his True Name. The name Cyberleks representing the Creation Law is something everyone knows, but Truth is rarely heard of. Looking across the Crystal Wall Universes, he had never heard of any famous God of Truth, nor had he heard the name Ober.

Of course, it might be due to his limited knowledge and experience; it’s possible he just hadn’t heard of it.

The prefix “Ober” is quite common, as the syllable “Ober” alone is related to spells. The most famous example is the Great Arcane Mage from the renowned Ferren Crystal Wall Universe. Great Arcane Mages have always claimed themselves masters of Truth; perhaps this is one of the origins of his True Name’s syllable.

Regardless, Lin Xiao’s fourth syllable of his True Name had appeared, complete name: Cyberleks Meyer Ao Ober.

“Very good!”

Lin Xiao looked up at the dome of the Divine Palace, where massive amounts of milky Belief Power were converging at the top, and nothing else.

He wasn’t really looking at the dome, rather…

A premonition told him that something was about to happen.

Lin Xiao speculated, it must be related to the secondary list of prodigies. With the addition of his fourth True Name syllable and as high as 36 points in Divinity, he had completely met all the criteria for being listed on the secondary list of prodigies. There was no reason he shouldn’t be on the list.

Looking back at the attribute panel, other than the newly condensed fourth True Name syllable, there weren’t many changes.

These were significant increases in the proficiency of his Godhoods of Truth and Creation and an increase of nine points in divinity over the previous base.

The Law Aggregate he condensed this time was several times larger than the last, but the progress was not as high as he imagined.

Thus, it was evident that neither the increase in Divinity nor the mastery of Godhoods was linear, but rather a geometric progression, with the degree of increment decreasing the further one went.

It was only normal, after all, given the percentages in Godhood mastery. If one could make such consistent gains each time, wouldn’t that mean one could increase the mastery of the Rule of Truth to one hundred percent in roughly two hundred times? That’s the limit of Powerful Divine Power; it couldn’t be that easy.

As for the thirty-six points in Divinity, that too was incredibly exaggerated, just four points shy of crossing over forty to enter the realm of Rank 5 Divinity. He was probably already surpassing Wu Zhonglin.

Rank 5 Divinity is deemed from forty points and up to below one hundred points, which is the theoretical limit of Divinity. The well-known Supreme Demigods require at least a Rank 5 Divinity.

Rank 5 Divinity is considered the theoretical limit because it becomes increasingly difficult to raise the upper limit of Divinity value. Advancing beyond Rank 5 is as hard as reaching for the sky; even True Gods are few and far between who possess Rank 5 Divinity. Therefore, for a Normal Demigod, it is a theoretical limit.

As his thoughts wandered, Lin Xiao was soon drawn to the anomaly within the Magic Cube Space. He cast his consciousness into it briefly and wore a peculiar expression on his face.

The changes within the shell of the Crystal Wall System’s Core had ended. The foundational layer of rule networks had been preliminarily woven into shape and, strictly speaking, this object was finished. His peculiar reaction was unrelated to this but was instead about the direction of the subsequent enhancement for the Crystal Wall System’s Core.

There were two paths. One was to complete the existing foundational rule network and, after ample preparation, to establish his own set of Crystal Wall rules based on the existing rule grid.

But if he chose to do this, the object would not be able to continue mending for a long time and would have to wait until the rule network was completed before proceeding.

The second option was not to build his own set of Crystal Wall rules
