Void Evolution System-Novel



How would one describe such a clash of Laws?

With more base-level Laws like the elemental Laws most people had affinities with, it was easier to describe even their conceptual states, since there were only a select number of concepts they could actually harness.

This was both due to the simplistic nature of the most basic foundational elements of the universe and the fact that, even when these elements harnessed higher Laws like Wood tapping into Life, it was only ever an emulation, not a true connection to the higher Laws.

Now, that wasn't to say those connections couldn't be made, merely, it took an extremely high level of comprehension to truly elevate a base element in such an intrinsic way.

When comparing this relatively comprehensible structure to those of the true Higher Laws, it was like night and day.

The reason Higher Laws were elevated from the rest wasn't just due to their primordial existences, but due to their complexity.

In fact, these two factors were directly connected. Because Higher Laws were formed in the very first moments of the universe, they were responsible for maintaining far larger and more important facets of the universe's existence.

This, of course, meant the number of concepts within these Higher Laws far outstripped lower ones.

Spacetime was even higher than its individual parts, and when it came to something like the Space-Time River, it wasn't possible to describe its effects on reality without breaking down the very fundamental workings of the universe.

As for its opponent, it was even more complicated for an entirely different reason.

Weapon intents were a human contribution to the universe. The Laws that they represented were actually incorporated into the universe's original workings due to the success and widespread usage of such weapon intents.

Therefore, while the visible concepts within weapon intents were scarce and simple, their actual meaning on a universal scale was extraordinarily grand.

Only those like Su Ren, who reached extreme heights in their professions, could tap into these elusive meanings and utilize them, transforming weapon intent into a magisterial Law unlike anything seen before.

Such was the cause of Su Ren's special mana.

Nevertheless, Damien and Su Ren didn't move in the slightest.

On the screens showcasing the battle and in reality itself, they stood completely still.

But currently, a scene that could only be seen through their eyes, the eyes of those who had unearthed such profound concepts, was taking place.

The physical manifestation was like an enchanting dance performed by the most beautiful women to ever live.

The Space-Time River flowed freely through the air, unrestrained by any and all. Its waters looped and twirled, twisted and snaked through the air like a lithe and ethereal fairy above the mundane world.

Meanwhile, Su Ren's blade intent formed into an ethereal avatar that accompanied the river in its dance, its movements far more precise and ordered like a trained professional who had been dancing for countless years in practice.

They were equally otherworldly, yet their magnificence contrasted in the most perfect way, as if uniting Heaven and Earth in a sacrosanct ritual.

It wasn't a clash in any sense. It wasn't some world-breaking scene, nor was it impressive from an outside perspective.

It was almost embarrassing to watch.

Yet, for Damien and Su Ren, this experience was one they'd never give up.

They wished this dance would never end. They wished they could forever gaze upon this bewitching entwinement of cosmic forces and remain enraptured by its heavenly aura.

Yet, all things had to come to an end eventually.

A final blow containing their absolute everything, both delivered as promised.

But before today, neither of them knew that ferocious combat could be so divine.

No, what they just witnessed was a glimpse of what it meant to be truly divine.

'The peak…'I think you should take a look at

They had the same thought as they remained arrested many seconds after the fluctuations of their Laws died down.

All practitioners chased Divinity, but until they reached that final instance of Supremacy when Divinity was just a few steps away, it was impossible for them to ever understand what Divinity truly meant.

It wasn't a generalization, but an established truth of the universe that was formed after untold generations of practitioners lived and died.

Yet, today, two beings who both only recently stepped into the 9 revolutions before Divinity saw a hint of something they were never meant to see.

Damien and Su Ren, while they had no interaction with each other before today, were actually very similar, especially in their strong mental fortitude built through harrowing experiences.

For them to be frozen, unable to form coherent thoughts as they did everything they could to regain their lucidity, only further affirmed the absurdity of the situation.

The first banquet hall once again mirrored their emotions, as the air was stained in confusion.

Comprehending a unique Law was a rarity in itself. 99% of the universe's practitioners had affinities for base laws, and of those in the final 1%, an even smaller percentage managed to rise to prominence.

The strength of the experts in the hall didn't matter. Their inborn talent disallowed them from ever understanding what they witnessed.

There were five, however, who didn't share their feelings.

Four of them were Executioner level elders who specialized in weapon intents.

Though Su Ren's blade intent didn't exactly align with their practice methods, the vague vestiges of his unbelievable blade intent they were able to glean gave them unlimited new comprehensions. Without a single word, they left for their personal quarters to make the most of this blessing.

As for the final one, it was a beautiful woman who, coincidentally enough, almost married one of the geniuses pictured.

The only other spatial practitioner at the Grand Assembly for now, and the only other Celestial Damien had ever met, Leona, the Star Master of Azure Rain Star.

The path she chose was one of stagnation. She, like the Golden Dragon Emperor and many noble rulers, sacrificed her talent for her people and ruled Azure Rain Star without fully exploring the potential of the Celestial class.ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ ɴovel(F)ɪre

She never thought she would improve again.

But somehow, every time she saw that man, she would experience a miracle.

The first time they met, his departure made her realize the depths her class could have, which she couldn't have done without meeting another Celestial.

And this time, she finally found a path to explore those depths.

The five of them were the main beneficiaries of the preceding event, aside from the two directly involved, but they weren't the only ones who gained something from it.

In fact, there was one more.

The Angel, Luciel.

His eyes maintained their unreadable light, and the smile on his face remained unchanged, but his thoughts were swirling chaotically.

'What was that? Although I could not sense their final attacks, the Holy Light Realm reacted extremely. Could it be…they alarmed the spirit with their power?'

The spirit of the Holy Light Realm was originally the artifact spirit of a God-ranked artifact that was transferred into the Holy Light Realm when it was created.

That spirit had accompanied several Demigods over tens of thousands of years of existence, and even the Angel Race's best geniuses were never able to attract its attention.

'The last time the spirit showed a reaction was…'

Luciel's eyes hardened.

'…when the Void Emperor made his first appearance.'
