This was a very relaxed feeling. Gray had never felt so relaxed before!
It was as if his mind had suddenly been enlightened. His mind became unusually clear.
It was as if he was originally doing a complicated function problem. Every step was difficult. Suddenly, the complicated function problem had become simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division.
He did not even need to use a pen to calculate. Just a little mental calculation was enough to get the correct answer.
The role of the Law Fruit was to increase the user's affinity with the rules. It allowed the user to feel the rules more clearly, making it easier to comprehend the rules.
It became easier to comprehend the rules, so it was naturally easier to become a rule.
Under normal circumstances, an Annihilation-grade giant with the help of a precious magic herb like the Law Fruit could increase the chances of becoming a rule by more than 50%. One could imagine how precious such a precious magic herb was.
In fact, the reason why Saint-class factions had endless law class experts was not because Saint-class factions had many geniuses and could guarantee the birth of a law class expert every tens of thousands of years, allowing Saint-class factions to have an endless supply of law class experts.
It was because Saint-class factions usually had similar magic herbs as a foundation. When the veteran law class experts were about to die, they would take them out and let the giants with the most potential take them. A law class expert would be born, ensuring that there would be an endless supply of law class experts.
Hum!
Under the effect of the Law Fruit, Gray's comprehension speed of space law, which was already extremely fast due to his super memory ability, had increased again.
All kinds of space mysteries quickly flashed through his mind, enriching his comprehension of space law ability.
Other than resting and eating time, Gray spent almost all his time comprehending the rules. As a result, his comprehension of space law ability would greatly increase every day.
Originally, he only knew how to use the various derivative abilities of space law. He could not understand their various operating mechanisms and could not maximize their power. However, as his comprehension of space law ability deepened, not only could he use it, but he could also maximize its power.
This kind of improvement that he could feel was extremely wonderful. He was almost immersed in it and could not extricate himself.
Two years later.
Gray, who was sitting cross-legged on the grass with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. In an instant, space seemed to appear and disappear in his eyes.
A feeling of perfection emerged in his heart. He felt that he could no longer comprehend the Laws of Space. He had already comprehended the various mysteries of the Laws of Space.
At this moment, he seemed to have sensed something and suddenly looked up at the sky.
Whoosh!
Suddenly, a silver light appeared in the sky, slanting downwards and converging, enveloping him within.
He didn't use his ability, but his body floated up into the sky uncontrollably.
The silver light turned into a halo and attached to him, making him look like a "god". If an ordinary person saw him now, they would probably immediately kneel on the ground and worship him as a god.
Rule-level experts had a lifespan of tens of thousands of years. In essence, they had already surpassed the category of 'humans' and became a new 'species'.
Possessing a lifespan of tens of thousands of years, possessing the power to destroy the heavens and the earth with a wave of his hand, such a person, if not a god in the eyes of ordinary people, what was he?
The World Laws were trembling violently, resonating with Gray.
The intense trembling of the Laws quickly spread. If they were not in their own plane, even Rule-level experts thousands of miles away would be able to feel the powerful fluctuations.
As Gray resonated with the Laws, the Blood Power in his body was also undergoing a rapid transformation.
Its color was changing rapidly, from green to silver after the transformation of the wood-type ability.
Its texture was becoming viscous, as if it was transforming from the original liquid to viscous mercury.
In the end, the color of the Blood Power turned silver, and its texture became viscous mercury.
At this moment, the Power of Blood began to circulate in his body, circulating endlessly in his body.
As it circulated, the strength of his soul and body began to transform like the Blood Power.
At the Annihilation level, the transformation relied on the transformation of a single elemental ability. The transformation of this elemental ability would lead to the transformation of the Blood Power, soul, and body. Then, one of the three would lead to the transformation of the other two.
At the Rule level, the Blood Power, soul, and body had become extremely powerful. A single elemental ability could no longer trigger a transformation. Only a Rule level ability could continue to trigger a transformation.
This was the way to achieve the Rule level, and it was also the cultivation method after the Rule level.
After a few hours, Gray's Blood Power, soul, and body had all completed the transformation. The World Laws let out a violent tremor, and then it returned to calm.
The silver halo gradually dissipated, and Gray was in the silver halo. His originally hazy figure became clear.
He stood in the void without using any ability. His clothes and black hair fluttered, and a unique temperament appeared on his body.
With a thought, he floated down like a falling leaf and landed beside the wooden house.
There, Ying Ba and the little boy Eren, who had watched Gray's process of achieving the World's Principles, were both shocked. It wasn't until Gray approached that the two of them recovered.
"Congratulations, Lord Gray, for achieving the Rule level!"
Ying Ba congratulated, and the little boy Allen excitedly expressed his admiration.
"Mm."
Gray smiled in response. He was naturally very happy to have achieved the Rule level.
After spending a few days comprehending the various differences after achieving the Rule level.
After resting for a day, Gray did not leave the World Plane. Instead, he took out a second Rule Fruit, swallowed it, and continued to comprehend his second Rule ability.
Under normal circumstances, after achieving the Rule level, one would generally stop comprehending the Rule level. After all, there was no second Rule in one's body, and there were no precious magic herbs that could assist in comprehending the Rule level.
However, Gray's situation was different. Not only did he have a second Rule ability, but he also had a third or even a fourth Rule ability.
In addition, he also had a second Rule Fruit that could assist in comprehending the Rule level. Both conditions were met, so he began to comprehend his second Rule ability. This time, the Rule ability he comprehended was the Rule of Time.
The cultivation of the Rule level was the process of implanting a Rule Bloodline and comprehending the Rule level. For people other than Gray, implanting a Rule Bloodline was the most difficult and even extremely dangerous.
With the lifespan of a Rule Powerhouse of tens of thousands of years, even if their comprehension was poor, they could still comprehend the Rule level. However, implanting a Rule Bloodline was different.
Bloodlines had a repulsive nature. Implanting a new Rule Bloodline on top of one's Rule Bloodline that already had a Rule Bloodline in one's body was bound to have an extremely strong repulsive nature.
Even with the powerful body of a Rule Powerhouse, it was very likely that they would be injured by this repulsive nature. In serious cases, their realm might even drop and they would be left with injuries that would be difficult to recover from for the rest of their lives.
There were even some who would lose their minds and become bloodthirsty beasts.
In history, there were records of Rule Powerhouses who failed to implant a Rule Bloodline and often became beasts. The Saint-level forces they belonged to were slaughtered by the Rule Powerhouses who had turned into beasts. The strength of the Rule Powerhouses who had turned into beasts skyrocketed. Ordinary veteran Rule Powerhouses were no match for them at all. In the end, a Rule Powerhouse with three Rule Powerhouses had to step in to kill them.
Hum —
As he comprehended the Rule of Time, various mysteries of the Rule of Time began to appear in Gray's mind. Gray began to immerse himself in the beauty of comprehending the Rule of Time.
The Rule of Time was a Rule that controlled Time. There were generally three types of derivations.
One was Time Stop, one was Time Rewind, and one was Time Acceleration.
For example, Gray's Rule of Time ability leaned toward Time Acceleration and produced two types of derivative abilities.
One derivative ability was to increase one's movement speed and reaction speed, while the other derivative ability was to let things experience extremely long periods of time and decay.
Of course, from the fact that the Rule of Time and the Rule of Space had mixed into the 'Return to the Past' ability, among the derivative abilities he had, there should be a derivative ability in the direction of Time Rewind.
As he comprehended the Rule of Time, he quickly discovered the derivative ability of Time Rewind. It was a derivative ability that allowed him to see images of the past.
To put it simply, he could 'rewind' what had happened here. Of course, this' rewind 'was only the reproduction of images and not the flow of time.
It was probably because of the fusion of this derivative ability and the Rule of Space that the forbidden ability of 'Return to the Past' appeared.
Cultivation time always passed very quickly. This was also the reason why Rule Powerhouses rarely appeared in the world.
Unknowingly, three years had passed very quickly. The second Rule of Time was also comprehended by Gray.
The time he spent on it was one year longer than the Rule of Space. This was probably because when he was comprehending the Rule of Space, Gray had the Rule of Space in the Book of Space as a reference.
After comprehending the second Rule of Time, Gray's Blood power, body, and soul had undergone another transformation. At this point, Gray's level was no worse than the old Rule Level.
As for his true combat power, it was definitely beyond that. After all, he had four Rule Powers.
…
In the House of Arase, compared to five years ago, the head of the House of Arase, Udo, had whiter hair and more wrinkles.
As an Annihilation-class elite, he had undergone such a huge change in just five years. One could imagine how torturous those five years had been for him.
In those five years, the days of the House of Arase had not been easy. When they discovered the Rule Fruit, they thought it was an opportunity for glory. They did not expect it to be the beginning of bad luck.
Although Basilica of the Holy Blood did not destroy the House of Arase because of Gray, they began to use all sorts of reasons to make things difficult for the House of Arase.
Not only did they have to hand in more offerings every year, but they also took over three high-quality magic mines of the House of Arase.
Not only that, but they also instigated the other three most powerful families to target the House of Arase. Many of their businesses suffered heavy losses due to the suppression of the three most powerful families.
If it were not for the House of Arase being the most powerful family with a deep foundation, such a large family might have gone bankrupt.
What made the House of Arase even angrier was that there were a few talented children in the family who had been injured or even disabled due to various "accidents." The people who had attacked them were people from the three most powerful families.
"Master, this is not good. The masters of the three most powerful families are here. They have also invited an elder from Basilica of the Holy Blood."
At this moment, a man in a housekeeper's uniform jogged in, panting.
Hearing this, the head of the House of Arase's heart skipped a beat. He had a bad feeling. He quickly walked to the living room.
