Long Chen sat on the fourth floor of the Tower of Time with his legs crossed, holding that aquamarine stone in his hand.
If one couldn't sense the Rule of Life in this stone, it might just be an ordinary stone or a godly item in the eyes of others.
Previously, Long Chen had found the location of the Jiuli Demon Realm by approaching the Pond of Time. However, it was different this time. He couldn't find any information even after searching for a long time.
"In that case, why don't I take a look at the Rule of Life?"
His mind was immersed in the stone.
"On the surface, this Rule is similar to the Flame of Life, which is used for healing. However, there's nothing special about this Rule. Plus, I've already learned it."
"In other words, this Life Origin Stone has nothing to do with the Tai Chi Living Dragon."
That was possible. However, it was just the beginning. Long Chen didn't plan to give up so quickly. He kept thinking about it.
Even though a year had passed on the fourth floor of the Tower of Time, he still hadn't made any breakthrough.
However, after thinking about it for a long time, Long Chen understood one thing.
"There seem to be two Rule of Life on this Life Origin Stone. One is superficial, like the Flame of Life. The other is hidden in the Rule of Life. It's so deep that it's hard to understand it."
The Tai Chi Living Dragon was the Dragon of Life and Creation.
Long Chen tried his best, but he still couldn't find the hidden Rule of Life. Therefore, he suddenly made up his mind and thought, "Since I have no clue, I'd better try to destroy it."
He already had an idea.
Therefore, at this moment, the force he exerted caused the emerald green stone in his hand to gradually turn into powder. By doing this, it was possible that the clues leading to the Tai Chi spirit dragon would be completely lost to him. But, it was also possible that he would make a breakthrough in his search.
There was always a way out.
Finally, what Long Chen saw was a breakthrough.
After the Life Origin Stone was crushed, an extremely tiny grass appeared in the powder. That was what Long Chen wanted to find. Although the grass was tiny, it was indeed formed by a Rule.
It was a small but vigorous grass glowing with aquamarine light. It was so small that it was made of particles, making it hard to see clearly.
This was the internal rule of the Life Origin Stone.
However, at this time, the Life Origin Stone's external laws activated. The stone powder that Long Chen had crushed actually had a vigorous life force. It started to condense and restore itself to its original form.
"Quite tenacious."
Long Chen smiled faintly as he continued to crush the stone. After that, he continued to observe the blade of grass. After that, he continued to crush the life essence stone, as if he were connected to the life essence stone. But in truth, he was trying to comprehend the natural laws within the stone. In other words, that tiny blade of grass.
Although it was insignificant, the laws within it were extremely profound. Long Chen spent one year, two years, and finally, ten years to comprehend it before he found some clues in the sea of countless laws.
"Not just life, but creation."
He understood a little. That blade of grass did not represent a tenacious life, but a kind of creation.
In the process of touching the blade of grass, Long Chen sensed its rhythm and the process of its birth from the destruction of the life essence stone. It appeared out of thin air in this world.
In the end, every time Long Chen crushed the life essence stone, the blade of grass would no longer appear, and the life essence stone would no longer restore itself. Instead, it would turn into powder and dissipate into the surroundings, leaving this world completely.
But it did not matter, because Long Chen had already comprehended the laws hidden in the depths.
"In the past, the Dragon Sacrificial Continent was established bit by bit by the nine Ancestral Dragons. The first Ancestral Dragon was probably related to all the divine dragon souls and the origin dragon soul. The Primordial Dragon Sacrificial Ceremony formed the foundation of the Dragon Sacrificial Continent, followed by time, fate, karma, life …"
"The true protagonists of the birth of life were the Primordial Dragon Sacrificial Ceremony and the Tai Chi Lifeform Dragon."
"As for the Tai Chi Lifeform Dragon, it created and decorated this world. The birth of all living beings is closely related to the Tai Chi Lifeform Dragon, especially the spirits of plants."
The plants in this world were also a kind of life. It was just that they had no soul, no thoughts, and could not move.
'All living beings' was this law.
Perhaps the Tai Chi Lifeform Dragon had relied on this law bestowed upon it by the myriad worlds to create the billions of spirits of plants on the Dragon Sacrificial Continent.
Perhaps this law could not be used in battle at all, but one had to admit that it was a new breakthrough, a new attempt.
At this time, Long Chen's mind was thoroughly enlightened.
Long Chen enlarged the blade of grass he saw earlier in his mind. The law of life swept through his hand. Finally, on his palm, without any seeds, a real yet fragile blade of grass was truly born. This blade of grass had four appearances. It looked weak but tough. Its greatest significance was that it was personally created by Long Chen.
It was a life that was not born through reproduction in the myriad worlds.
It was the source of life.
This was the true appearance of the blade of grass just now. At this moment, Long Chen could totally create all kinds of flowers, plants, and trees.
His gaze was attracted by this blade of grass, and he remembered every detail of it. Because it was very likely that this was the appearance of the Tai Chi Lifeform Dragon's world origin.
It was like a low mountain of slaughter.
It was like a stinking ditch of time.
It was the blade of life.
But when Long Chen clearly saw the veins of the four leaves of this blade of grass, he did not know whether to laugh or cry …
That was because the veins on each leaf formed a word. Four leaves formed four words. These four words were clearly indicating the location of "life" to Long Chen, just like the Void Infinity Dragon.
However … these four words were beyond Long Chen's expectations.
Although it was not the Fourth Era, the difficulty of obtaining life this time for Long Chen was probably about the same as in the Fourth Era.
Because these four words were "Jiu", "Li", "Demon", and "Domain".
Jiuli Demon Domain, Chiyou Demon Ancestor.
In the past, Long Chen had spent a lot of effort to obtain the Instant Demon Stone in exchange for time with Chiyou Demon Ancestor.
The Ancestral Dragon was really interesting. 'Time' was in the Jiuli Demon Domain, and even 'life' was in the Jiuli Demon Domain. Long Chen now suspected that even 'karma' and 'fate' were in the Jiuli Demon Domain. He might as well just appear once …
To be honest, Long Chen was rather unwilling to deal with an existence like Chiyou Demon Ancestor. Perhaps their relationship had been very troublesome the last time.
"If I had asked Chiyou Demon Ancestor to let me enter and find another World's Origin, or if I had deceived him and broken through the Ancient Jiuli Demon Diagram to obtain the opportunity to enter, he would have known that I had taken another World's Origin here. No matter what, he probably wouldn't have let me go."
"Although the Primordial War Ancestor and the others can protect me, if they really drive Chiyou Demon Ancestor crazy, it will be quite troublesome. I have to guard against him at all times. After all, the Dragon Sacrificial Continent is here, and the Eternal Steel Divine Diagram will definitely not be able to stop him."
Chiyou Demon Ancestor was one of the strongest Ancestral Gods of the Fifth Era. Long Chen was not too willing to provoke him at this time.
"In that case, I reckon that 'life' will be very difficult to obtain. I have to put it aside first."
Long Chen had no choice but to make this decision.
It was very likely that even if he knew now, there was nothing he could do …
"No, Xiao Lang has still lost his freedom and is waiting for me in captivity. I promised him that I would restore his freedom within a hundred years. With this information to improve myself, I definitely can't give up."
Even if it was Chiyou Demon Ancestor, even if it was the second time, Long Chen had to think of a way. Thinking of Mo Xiaolang and his own helplessness that day, he knew that even among a group of Ancestral Gods, peak strength was extremely important.
"I definitely can't rely on myself. After experiencing the previous incident, the Primordial War Ancestor and the others have instead become more supportive of me. Especially the Primordial War Ancestor himself, he is now the biggest supporter behind me in the eyes of the Ancestral Gods. I have to explain the situation to the Primordial War Ancestor and see if he has any solutions."
Back when he was fighting for 'time', the Myriad Worlds were still very peaceful. Long Chen did not want to trouble the Primordial War Ancestor. But it was different now. The conflict between the Ancestral Gods of the Myriad Worlds was getting more and more intense, and there were more people who disliked him. In addition, now that even Mo Xiaolang was imprisoned, it was no longer the time to be afraid of troubling others. Since the Primordial War Ancestor supported him, Long Chen would no longer hesitate to trouble him. At least in the future, if he could soar to the sky, he would give him a better reward.
