That's right, it's ten laws, not just eight.
Although some of Shanghou's memories have faded, the core content of his understanding of the laws remains intact, which is what surprised Chen Yuan the most.
As a powerful realm lord capable of easily slaying immortal beings, Shanghou naturally cultivated the two superior laws of spacetime, but he failed to gain the original recognition like the eight inferior laws.
It's important to understand that comprehending higher-level laws is far more difficult than comprehending lower-level laws, and gaining the recognition of the origin is even more challenging.
At least one must have a sufficiently deep understanding of a certain profound mystery.
If we convert that to a bridge to heaven, then it would require at least sixteen levels to have a chance of gaining recognition from higher laws.
Although Shanghou's understanding was not bad, he focused his main energy on the integration of the eight laws, so his understanding of the spacetime law was naturally weaker, which is comparable to that of the military lord immortal.
Based on the quantification of the optimized system, Shanghou's level of understanding of the spatial laws is approximately 47%, and his level of understanding of the temporal laws is approximately 41%.
As for the eight subordinate rules, they all reached 99.99%.
It can be said that if it weren't for the obstruction of the original cosmic will, which forced Shanghou's eight laws to merge with the ocean of laws simultaneously, breaking through to immortality would have been a natural outcome for him.
However, if all eight laws are to be integrated into the ocean of laws at the same time, the problem of incompatibility between laws must be solved. Otherwise, after one law is integrated, the difficulty of integrating the second law will increase by ten thousand times, and the integration of the third law will increase by another ten thousand times on this basis.
This terrifying exponential increase made it impossible for Shanghou to break through normally. He could only turn to studying the path of law fusion, which meant that he had to fuse these eight laws into one power in order to succeed.
That's why it's said that Shanghou is on a dead end—whether it's the rejection of laws or the fusion of the eight laws, these are not things that a mere realm lord can do, and even a true god might not be able to do them.
This sealed the tragic fate of Marquis Shang, whose life's accumulation ultimately benefited Chen Yuan.
However, it should be clarified that although Chen Yuan obtained the Law Enlightenment Insights and Memories of the Marquis of Shang, it does not mean that he can immediately reach the same level.
After all, the memories of the Marquis of Shang were not Chen Yuan's own. At best, mastering these memories would give him a reference when comprehending the laws.
Even so, for Chen Yuan, this was already an incredible opportunity.
This is because it is equivalent to permanently engraving a purple radiance image in his mind, allowing him to comprehend the laws anytime, anywhere.
Compared to the previous method of comprehending the Purple Radiance Inscription only once every ten days, the current comprehension efficiency has at least doubled, and crucially, it also saves on the consumption of points.
And, most importantly...—
"Finally, I can formally comprehend the higher laws," Chen Yuan murmured to himself.
Indeed, for Chen Yuan, the biggest surprise was not the eight lower-level laws, but the 41% understanding of the law of time.
Although it may not seem high, it is already equivalent to the level of immortality, which is the same as the strength to pass through the twelve-story Heavenly Bridge.
Chen Yuan was so certain because Shang Hou had taken the route of analyzing the essence of the laws and had fully comprehended the 108 essential aspects of the laws of time!
According to the original setting, the higher-level laws, having fully comprehended their essence, correspond exactly to the twelfth level of the Bridge to Heaven.
Previously, Chen Yuan's comprehension of the laws of time had been extremely difficult.
After all, without any secret techniques to refer to or any teachers to guide him (Shi Lan is only proficient in the Law of Wind), he relied entirely on the indirect influence of the essence of "flowing wind" to gradually accumulate the Law of Time to its current level.
Now, with the memories of the Marquis of Shang as a reference, he essentially possesses a secret method to analyze the essence of the laws of time, while also taking into account the effects of the first three layers of the Chaos Stele.
Therefore, even though these insights cannot be directly optimized by the system to create time-researching secret techniques similar to those in "Raging Storm," Chen Yuan's efficiency in comprehending the laws of time has undergone a qualitative leap.
These are the benefits that Chen Yuan gained from the memories of Marquis Shang.
But his gains this time went far beyond that.
Because in addition to his understanding of the laws, Chen Yuan's breakthrough in his spiritual realm was equally significant.
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan opened the panel and looked at the data changes before and after breaking through to the Fetal Breathing Realm.
[The host comprehends "My heart is the heart of Heaven, and Heaven's will is my will," breaking through to the level of embryonic breathing in his spiritual realm, increasing brain capacity to its maximum limit, raising soul strength to the level of immortality (maximum), and raising willpower to the peak of the level of kingship.]
[The host's soul has undergone a mutation, awakening the ability of "psychic power," the strength of which is equal to the host's Force level.]
[Because the Holy Embryo communicates with the origin of the universe, it can sustainably obtain 'Fragments of the Primal Dao', increasing the kill point gain (current frequency: 600 kill points/second)]
"So this is what happens after advancing to the Fetal Breathing Realm."
Chen Yuan carefully checked the system panel, and sure enough, his brain domain breadth had directly reached the maximum value of 100 points.
In addition, his soul strength has reached the upper limit, which is the level of immortality.
Only then did he realize that there was an upper limit to the strength of the soul, and that the Immortal level was already the upper limit of the soul.
"That's right. After advancing to immortality, the soul will completely merge with the laws and transform into immortal divine power."
After a moment's thought, Chen Yuan suddenly realized, "So reaching the Immortal level is already the limit for the soul. To break through to the next level, one can only fuse with the laws and transform into Immortal Divine Power."
"Therefore, after immortality, there will be no such thing as soul strength, because soul strength represents divine power strength."
"At that point, what truly matters is 'the strength of one's will.'" Chen Yuan looked at his peak King-level willpower.
He couldn't help but smile.
"A ninth-tier Celestial level cultivator possessing the willpower of a peak King-level expert—am I qualified to inherit the Star Tower?"
The thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly shook his head and denied it: "No, the Star Tower's test standards are based on the strength of the soul. The stronger the soul, the higher the requirements for willpower."
"And my soul strength is at the immortal level, which means that my will needs to reach the level of the lord of the universe."
Thinking of this, Chen Yuan couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that the Star Tower and I are not destined to be together."
Chen Yuan only felt a little regretful. After all, he had the optimization system. Even if he couldn't get the Star Tower, as long as he continued to cultivate, he would eventually optimize a treasure that was comparable to or even surpassed the Star Tower.
So he quickly calmed down and continued watching.
"I've awakened my mental power?" Upon seeing this notification, Chen Yuan was taken aback. He then closed his eyes and looked into his sea of consciousness, where he indeed sensed a brand new power.
With a slight thought, this invisible force emanated from his body, causing the objects in the secret room to float up and dance in the air.
"So this is the power of telekinesis—it's quite interesting."
Chen Yuan shook his head slightly, used his mental power to put the items in the secret room back in their original positions, and pondered, "It's a pity that my expertise is still in the path of martial arts. Mental power is just an icing on the cake, but there's no need to delve into it."
When he saw the last change, he was initially pleased, then his eyes widened: "There's a new way to obtain kill points!"
Although Chen Yuan has never lacked kill points, he has always known that as his strength increases and he gradually becomes a top powerhouse in the original universe, obtaining kill points will become increasingly difficult.
After all, one can only gain killing points by killing creatures of equal or higher rank. So, once he becomes the master of the universe, how many people in the entire primordial universe can he kill? If he becomes a true god, how many true gods can he find in the cosmic sea to kill?
However, with the abilities granted by the Fetal Breathing Realm, he successfully unlocked a second way to obtain kill points, so he no longer needs to worry about not being able to obtain kill points in the future due to a lack of equally strong enemies.
"What exactly happened—"
Although there are new ways to obtain kill points, Chen Yuan is still puzzled: "Aren't kill points only obtainable through killing? Absorbing fragments of the Origin Dao is also an option?"
With his question in mind, he immediately sought answers from the system and quickly received them.
"I see--"
Chen Yuan's face lit up with realization: "So the so-called killing points are actually fragments of the Primal Dao!"
