Chapter 235 The Suppression of Rules, Endless Illusions
On the planet Emerald Rock, in the Earth's core, in a new secret chamber that Ye Yang opened up decades ago.
"Snake-patterned beads!"
The second Golden Horn clone opened its eyes and looked at the snake-patterned bead placed at the top.
Ye Yang had observed this small bead countless times before, but he couldn't say he was familiar with it.
He never discovered the true secret of this pearl!
However, this time when he watched it—... Ye Yang had already comprehended all the profound mysteries of time and space.
Viewing the snake-patterned bead with these insights into the nature of space and time gave me a completely different feeling.
"Atmosphere, ripples—"
Once again sensing that law that did not belong to any of the ten fundamental laws of the universe, Ye Yang was able to break it down from the most essential perspective.
Although it is only a tiny fraction of the laws, it is still extremely precious!
In the depths of purgatory, Ye Yang immediately took out paper and pen and began to conduct a preliminary investigation.
He had only drawn a single scale—yet, after just a couple of strokes, he suddenly felt an invisible, oppressive force instantly act upon his two clones!
The first human clone and the first golden horn clone were simultaneously subjected to pressure from some powerful force!
Not only the body, but also the soul and consciousness, are subjected to inexplicable pressure and oppression.
"Are the rules of the universe oppressing me?" He suddenly realized what was going on. Luo Feng had also been recruited to carve a beast god statue.
It was subjected to the pressure of the rules governing the universe.
It was from that moment that he began to embark on the true path of the Golden Void Fusion Law!
Previously, I had only imitated a trace of the Beast God's artistic conception.
And Ye Yang was in the same boat at this very moment!
The oppressive nature of the universe's operating rules means that the patterns he draws truly possess a touch of the mysteries of the laws of spacetime replication.
"Let them oppress me! I can tolerate it!!!"
Ye Yang gritted his teeth. Fortunately, according to the rules of the original universe, the second clone was not considered to be one with him. Therefore, the two clones only felt pain due to the influence of the first clone's consciousness.
In addition, his strong will and mindset enabled him to ignore the oppression and pain for a short period of time and continue to draw!
Soon, Ye Yang drew a scale.
click!
The calligraphy brush in his hand snapped in two, and the paper, which had been emanating a faint, strange fluctuation of law, turned into the finest dust with a "thud" due to Ye Yang's mistake.
"Items imbued with the mysteries of the spacetime fusion law were instantly erased under the influence of the laws governing the universe—"
Ye Yang felt the oppression disappear and gradually recovered.
He frowned as he looked at the dust on the ground. The paper had been completely destroyed at the atomic level, and had even decayed into different elements!
"Ordinary materials cannot withstand the pressure of the universe's operating rules, so I'll use my telekinesis!"
After thinking for a moment, Ye Yang decided to use the method of constructing an illusionary realm for the temporary recruitment.
This secret technique is not for combat, but for research. Therefore, there is no need to consider optimization or power. It is sufficient to express the profound fluctuations of the laws and the artistic conception.
So Ye Yang closed his eyes and sat cross-legged. In the void before him, countless threads of mental energy formed, intertwining and creating numerous nodes.
Meanwhile, the second Golden Horn clone continued to observe the snake-patterned bead.
To recreate the essence of that strange law, it must be drawn in one continuous stroke, without interruption, and without multiple points being drawn in parallel.
At least with Ye Yang's current skill level, he can only draw it in one stroke.
So Ye Yang used his mind as a pen and his mental power as ink to outline and connect a scale, completing it in one go!
Boom!
An even stronger oppressive force descended, attempting to erase the mental structure Ye Yang had constructed. However, Ye Yang's heart was as firm as iron, and with the reinforcement of his consciousness,
The structure was stabilized by force.
"That's it, but I feel it's lacking a bit in terms of artistic conception. Let's try again!"
Ye Yang forcefully resisted the pressure of the rules, repeatedly using his telekinesis to construct scale structures, then dismantle them, and then construct them again.
This cycle continues endlessly.
Completely absorbed in imprinting the secret patterns of the snake-patterned bead with his mental threads, Ye Yang was completely unaware of the passage of time.
In the 10x time acceleration zone of the Abyss of Purgatory, one year in the outside world is equivalent to 10 years here.
Four years in the outside world is equivalent to 40 years in the abyss of purgatory!
Ye Yang had ten times the time to imitate and construct the Serpent Bead after observing it once on Emerald Rock Star.
Forty years have passed in the blink of an eye, and he is now able to draw 16 scales in one go.
"Although the snake scales are still countless and densely packed, I can confirm that there are a total of 11664 'Tier 1' snake scales!"
Based on decades of observation, drawing, understanding, and analysis, Ye Yang has developed a conjecture about the snake-patterned bead and the law of spacetime fusion in his cultivation.
If you take one of the 108 natures of time and one of the 108 natures of space and combine them, you get 108 times 108 equals 1, which is 1664 possibilities!
These are the first-tier scales of the Ouroboros.
If we take two types of time and one type of space, or two types of space and one type of time, and the essence of the three laws is integrated, then there are 124,8048 possibilities!
That is, 124,8048 "second-order" snake scales.
Following this pattern, there are third-tier, fourth-tier, and fifth-tier snake scales, with the highest being 215th tier. These scales will integrate all the essences of time and space, and therefore there is only one of them. However, the complexity and power of this snake scale far exceeded Ye Yang's imagination.
"All 215 levels of snake scales are the most basic units of the Time Fusion Law, similar to the relationship between 'the profound mystery of the essence of time' and 'the law of time'!"
"As for the Serpent Bead—it shouldn't contain that '215th-tier serpent scale,' and it might not even contain the higher-tier serpent scales. It still has limitations and doesn't contain the complete spacetime fusion law."
Although he couldn't estimate the limits of the Serpent Bead, Ye Yang was certain it did have limits, perhaps allowing him to reach a level comparable to a universe master.
Whether it's a true god or a god of illusion, that's the end of it.
In short, if one fully comprehends the mysteries of the Serpent Beads in the future, the more profound aspects of the spacetime fusion laws will be left to one's own efforts.
"That's still a long way off. Right now, I just need to focus all my efforts on comprehending the 'First-Order Serpent Scale' technique."
Of course, while comprehending the Serpent Bead, Ye Yang did not forget the laws of time and space.
After all, besides the essence of the laws, the laws of time and space alone are also the foundation needed to comprehend the laws of spacetime fusion.
During this long process of comprehension, the illusion technique that Ye Yang originally created for research purposes gradually acquired incredible power!
As Ye Yang used his mental power to outline the pattern, 16 snake scales were formed in one go. Countless threads and nodes of mental power formed a complex and strange pattern in mid-air, similar to an infinity symbol '∞', or you could say it was a Möbius strip.
Ye Yang's consciousness even showed signs of being slightly shaken, as if he was about to be sucked into the ring.
"I don't even know how powerful this illusion technique is."
Ye Yang murmured to himself, and continued to outline the 17th scale.
Instantly, the entire cyclical structure of the secret technique was disrupted, the terrifying attraction of consciousness vanished in an instant, and the oppressive force of the universe's operating rules intensified.
Ye Yang has finally mastered the 17th first-tier snake scale!
Next is number 18—
Just as Ye Yang was about to continue his research, Babata suddenly said, "Ye Yang, your third brother, Thor, sent an email. He seems very anxious. It's about Hong."
This was also because Ye Yang had just finished a focused meditation session, and Babata would only speak up to remind him during the break in his meditation.
"Hong?" Ye Yang was taken aback and somewhat puzzled. After glancing at the email, he quickly recalled the relevant events.
He couldn't help but smile: "So it's an old tree sprouting new buds."
Hong is in love again, this time with Ji Qing, a member of the Ji family of the Qianwu Universe Kingdom. This also leads to the appearance of a powerful king, the Illusionary Spirit King.
Speaking of which, Hong's first wife, Ye Yang, was actually met during the Great Nirvana period, but unfortunately, she died young.
"Alright, I'll go."
Ye Yang quickly entered the virtual universe.
"Fourth Brother, Boss, you're finally here!" Luo Feng and Ye Yang arrived almost exactly two seconds apart.
"Why the rush? What's the matter?" Ye Yang asked knowingly.
"It's related to my second brother—" Thor said.
Soon, Ye Yang and the other person heard Lei Shen finish speaking, and they couldn't help but show strange expressions.
It's truly remarkable that Hong could still fall in love with someone else after all these years.
Then Luo Feng brought Hong over, and the four of them reunited after many years.
"You're all here? Fourth brother, why are you in such a hurry to see me?" Hong came in wearing a simple black casual outfit and sat down to the side.
"Tell me honestly, how far has it progressed?" Ye Yang looked at him with a half-smile.
Hong was taken aback, then looked at the three men's expressions: "You all knew?"
"Yeah, they didn't even tell me they were in trouble. They really don't respect their older brother." Ye Yang said, sipping his tea.
"Yeah, do you still consider us brothers?" Luo Feng said.
Hong could only frankly explain his situation: for some reason, the Ji family was preventing him from being with Ji Qing.
"Second brother, there are three solutions to this situation." Ye Yang nodded seriously and looked at Luo Feng: "First, I can ask my teacher, King Baimo, or Fourth brother can ask King Zhenyan to intervene."
"With a powerful figure at the King level stepping in, the Ji family has no choice but to give them some face."
"The second solution is for me or my fourth brother to immediately break through and become domain lords. We are both members of the original secret realm of the virtual universe. Once we are released, we can return to our home universe country and become regional governors."
"With this identity, the problem will be much easier to solve."
"The third solution."
Ye Yang smiled and looked at Hong: "Second brother, the third method is to rely on yourself. As long as you can prove that you are absolutely outstanding, so outstanding that even outsiders think Ji Qing is not good enough for you, the obstacles between you will be greatly reduced."
Luo Feng suddenly frowned and said, "Brother, I'm afraid this won't work. The information shows that Ji Qing is a core member of the 'Cosmic Mercenary Alliance'."
"What?" Hong suddenly stood up.
"My God!" Thor's mouth dropped open.
"It was actually..." Hong shook his head, his expression complicated.
Ye Yang laughed and said, "I think it's nothing special."
Luo Feng was puzzled.
Ye Yang said, "In terms of mental fortitude to break through illusions and resist the pressure of willpower, Second Brother is far superior to me. Even if your willpower and consciousness are not as strong as mine, I estimate—you can conquer the 20th island of the Illusionary Sea!"
"What?" Luo Feng knew the significance of this, and he couldn't believe it. He asked in surprise, "Big brother, you're not mistaken, are you? It's not 12 floors, it's 20 floors?"
"You're right, the 20th floor is comparable to the peak of the King-level realm." Ye Yang waved his hand and laughed, "I was the one who caught the attention of Master Chaos City after passing the 19th floor of the Illusionary Sea and was accepted as a disciple."
"If it were my second brother, the commotion he would cause in the Giant Axe Arena would probably be no less than mine."
Luo Feng still found it hard to believe.
But Hong and Thor didn't know the amount, so they quickly asked, "What is the Illusionary Sea?"
Ye Yang said, "As long as you can enter the core layer of the five giants, you can access a trial ground."
Hong shook his head helplessly and sat back down in his chair: "I'm afraid it will be thousands of years before I have a chance to participate in the 'Top Elite Training Camp,' let alone the core level of the Giant Axe Arena."
"That's up to you to showcase yourself and let others see your talent and abilities." Ye Yang took a sip of tea and said, "Don't expect to resolve this in a short time; be prepared for a protracted battle."
There's a saying that goes, "If love between two people is meant to last, why should they be together every day?"
Ye Yang's words were a way of giving Hong pointers and helping him.
In the original storyline, Hong escalated the conflict between himself and Teacher Ji Qing, the "Phantom King," seemingly resolving the issue quickly and allowing the Phantom King to stop interfering with his relationship with Ji Qing. However, in reality, the Phantom King's methods shifted from overt to covert.
Ji Qing is a very strong-willed person, and for her, there are pursuits that are even more important than love.
As for the Soul Master Huanlingwang, who manipulates people's hearts, he easily provoked Ji Qing to give up her feelings for Hong.
That's why Ye Yang told Hong not to rush to a quick solution, but to prepare for a protracted battle.
If Ji Qing's feelings for him cannot withstand the test of time and are diluted by time, then so be it, it's not a pity.
But if two people clearly have genuine feelings for each other, yet one of them gives up early on, leading to both of them giving up, that would be such a pity.
"A protracted war?" Luo Feng shook his head: "Brother, you're being too idealistic. You can't judge a book by its cover. And right now, there's a huge gap between Second Brother and Sister-in-law. If someone just stirs things up a little, they might start having all sorts of wild thoughts."
"Impossible, Qingqing wouldn't be such an irrational person," Hong said, shaking his head.
"Second brother, does Ji Qing prioritize emotions above all else? Or does she have some other pursuits that go beyond emotions?" Ye Yang asked at this moment.
"She—" Hong thought for a moment, then said with certainty, "I can sense that although she really liked me when she was with me, and treated me as everything, deep down, her pursuit of the path to becoming a strong person definitely outweighs love!"
"That's right! That's why we need to act decisively and quickly! We can't give anyone a chance to take advantage of us!" Luo Feng said.
Ye Yang shook his head: "This situation can't be rushed, it can't be rushed. The more rushed we are, the more it will escalate the conflict. I don't think we should stop Second Brother and Ji Qing."
It's simply the Ji family.
"There must be someone behind this! An even more powerful figure!"
