Chapter 1822 takes "nature" as its root, touches the source of all laws, and derives all paths to trace all laws!
Just as Su Yunqing had said before, for Bai Xuan, who had already merged with his own world and become the master of the world, obtaining points was a very simple matter.
Other group members need to travel, trade, or even plunder to gain more points, but for Bai Xuan, it might only take a simple request.
The world's resources? The manifestation of its rules? Fragments of its origin?
These things, which are incredibly precious to others and may never even be seen, are to him nothing more than an extension of his own existence, "materials" that he can touch with every breath.
If he so desires, he can gather the power of stars, extract the essence of the earth's veins, and condense the vitality of all things in an instant, transforming it into "value" recognized by the chat group.
For him, one hundred million, one billion, ten billion, or even more, is just a matter of the size of a number, and there is no difficulty at all.
At this moment, he merely stirred his mind, extracting a tiny sliver of his boundless insights—as vast as the sea of stars and already resonating with the rules of the world.
It is not a deprivation, but merely a "copying" and "manifestation" of existing knowledge.
However, this seemingly insignificant insight, because it originated from the "Lord of the World," was of unimaginably sublime nature.
The primordial aura of the world and the profound principles of its operation, which it naturally carried, transformed into the wondrous object described in the chat group as a "high-concentration aggregate of rules containing a large number of primordial characteristics of the world" as soon as it solidified into a physical form.
This chaotic-colored bead is less an object and more a fragment of "Tao" and a crystallization of "principle".
It has no impact on the world itself, because it is not plunder, but merely a physical encapsulation of the abstract understanding that he already possesses.
"confirm."
Bai Xuan's voice was calm and even, as if what he was recovering was not a supreme treasure worth 500 billion points, but just a speck of dust.
[Recycling successful. Congratulations to group member "Child of Nature" for gaining 500 billion points.]
A cold notification sound rang out, and the number that was enough to make the entire chat group tremble with madness was silently transferred into his account.
Bai Xuan's expression remained unchanged, and even his eyes showed no fluctuation.
For him, points are merely a tool; the amount is meaningless. Only the "results" they bring are worth paying attention to.
This is also why, despite his continuous improvement in strength, he never actively collected items to exchange for points.
With a slight thought, he no longer hesitated and directly issued an instruction to the incomprehensible chat group:
"Activate the Enlightenment function."
[Ding! Group member "Child of Nature" has requested to activate the "Enlightenment Function". Confirm to consume points to enter the Enlightenment Space?]
"confirm."
Without the slightest hesitation, the moment the command was given, the true transformation began.
[Command confirmed, Enlightenment Space open.]
It felt like a fleeting moment, or perhaps an eternity.
Bai Xuan's consciousness was gently enveloped and drawn by an indescribable force, transcending all the dimensions and concepts of space and time he was familiar with, and entering an ultimate place that could not be described by any language or logic of his universe.
This is the absolute source of information and rules, the primordial sea of possibility and existence.
It is not a convergence of energy, but rather the very "fundamentals" and "laws" that constitute the most basic and fundamental level of the universe, flowing, colliding, and evolving here like a mist of light.
Endless threads of rules intertwine to form a vast net whose entirety cannot be observed. Each thread represents a fundamental or supreme law, extending into the boundless unknown and linking countless worlds and dimensions.
Bai Xuan's consciousness, in this vast and boundless sea of rules, was like a drop of water flowing into the ocean, instantly achieving perfect resonance and fusion with it.
Rooted in "nature," it touches upon the source of all laws.
Its essence is "nature," the "Great Mother" that nurtures all things and encompasses everything.
At this moment, the very essence of "nature" begins to connect and resonate at the deepest level with all the laws in the myriad realms related to "growth," "decay," "cycle," "balance," "elements," and "life."
What he "sees" is no longer the "nature" of a single universe, but the billions of ways in which the law of "growth" manifests itself in countless different worlds.
In some worlds, plants wither and flourish in an instant, containing the rapid passage of time; in other worlds, giant trees reach the sky, connecting dimensions; in other worlds, all things can become spirits, and spirituality itself is the rule.
"Decay" is not simply death, but a transformation of energy forms, a reorganization of material structures, and even the rise and fall of civilizations, as well as the forgetting and annihilation of concepts themselves.
The principle of "cycle" manifested in his consciousness with unprecedented clarity: from the spin of particles and the conservation of energy to the rotation of galaxies, the tides of planes, and even the energy cycle of the multiverse, everything is in the cycle, without beginning or end.
Light and darkness, order and chaos, creation and destruction, reality and illusion—countless opposing yet unified laws were deduced in his consciousness, seeking the optimal solution among billions of possibilities.
It extends to all paths and traces back to all laws.
However, "nature" is never an isolated entity.
It gives birth to all things, and naturally includes time, space, cause and effect, destiny, destruction, and creation.
As the world's ruler who controls the power of his own world, Bai Xuan also has an extremely high level of control over these powers.
At this moment, under the supreme power of the Enlightenment Space, with the "Nature" origin as the base and lens, the other powers he possessed also began to deeply connect and verify with the corresponding torrent of laws in all the heavens and myriad worlds.
[Time] is no longer just a perception of the flow of a long river of time.
His consciousness seemed to split into billions, simultaneously experiencing timelines of different worlds with vastly different flow rates.
In some worlds, time is like frozen soil, a fleeting moment in ten thousand years; in others, time is like a torrent, an eternal instant. He touched upon "time" as a higher-dimensional structure, perceiving its folds, its rings, its branches, and its infinite possibilities of parallel unfolding.
The absolute boundaries between "past," "present," and "future" have begun to blur, as if they are all "coordinate points" that can be observed and interfered with.
The spatial structure of the universe appeared to him like a transparent, three-dimensional spider web.
The barriers between the myriad worlds appeared to him with different "thicknesses" and "attributes," while the spatial structure of his own world was as clear and transparent as the lines on his palm, and could be reshaped at will.
The invisible threads of cause and effect transformed into a dazzling galaxy in his eyes. The birth and death of every karmic connection, the derivation of every choice, and every turning point in destiny were as clearly visible as the flickering of stars.
He traced the infinite causes of certain major "effects" and also deduced the vast "effects" that tiny "causes" might trigger.
The law of causality is never an inviolable iron law, but rather a larger, more complex network of rules that can be understood and intervened to a certain extent.
Fate, energy, matter, soul, spirit—all the powers he possessed were at this moment undergoing a frenzied comparison, absorption, optimization, and sublimation with the corresponding sea of laws across the myriad realms.
This is a comprehensive, three-dimensional, and limitless "completion"!
Bai Xuan is like a perfect container with infinite capacity. Although it was already full, it contained the "water" of his single universe.
Now, the Enlightenment Space directly presents the entire "Ocean of Myriad Realms" to him, allowing him to fully absorb the endless mysteries of the rules related to himself!
His foundation was being filled and solidified at an alarming rate, and then expanding infinitely to a depth and breadth that even he had never imagined!
Although limited by the limits of the world itself, his "total power" cannot increase, but his "understanding", "efficiency of use", "combination method" and "essential insight" about his own power are undergoing a tremendous and qualitative transformation!
If before he was instinctively “exercising” the rules based on his position and authority, now he is truly “understanding” and “mastering” the rules from the very root.
He saw the truly vast picture behind the "power" in his hands and understood the ultimate principle of its operation.
This is an indescribable state of great freedom, great liberation, and great perfection!
However, in this supremely wonderful realm, the 500 billion points that had just been credited to the account, enough to drive the entire chat group crazy, were evaporating at a speed that would make anyone who knew its significance tremble with fear and even despair!
The decrease in numbers is no longer a "jumping" phenomenon, but rather an avalanche, a cascading galaxy!
Supporting a single universe-level powerhouse to undergo this enlightenment that touches upon the origin of all worlds and completes their own powers is far beyond what can be described as "burning money"; it is like burning the foundations of countless worlds!
-
100 billion. -200 billion. -300 billion.
A terrifying consumption of tens of billions per second!
If Bai Xuan hadn't casually condensed a rule crystal worth 500 billion beforehand, this enlightenment attempt would probably have been interrupted the moment it began due to insufficient points.
Bai Xuan was completely immersed in it, oblivious to the outside world, including the consumption of points; for him, this moment of enlightenment was far more valuable than all his previous years.
It's unclear how much time has passed; perhaps it's only a moment in the outside world, but in the Enlightenment Space, it feels like eternity has gone by.
The moment those 500 billion points were completely wiped out.
[Ding, group member "Child of Nature" has exhausted their points and has automatically exited the Enlightenment Space.]
The indifferent notification sound rang out.
Bai Xuan's consciousness was gently sent back from the source of the rules of all worlds, returning to the pinnacle of his universe.
He slowly opened his eyes, and a faint, almost imperceptible glimmer flashed across those eyes that seemed to contain the birth and death of stars and the cycle of all things, before they returned to their deep, still depths.
He quietly observed the changes within himself.
His strength has not improved at all; he remains at the limit of his universe.
However, his control over all his own power and his understanding of the origins of all laws in the universe have been elevated to a completely new dimension that cannot be described in words.
If he had previously "controlled" this universe, now he is closer to "understanding" it and has glimpsed a broader picture of rules beyond it.
He remains the "master of the world," but his vision and perspective have changed dramatically.
"It really works."
Bai Xuan murmured to himself, his tone still calm, but if someone familiar with him were nearby, they might be able to detect a very subtle emotion beneath that calmness, an emotion called "satisfaction".
Those 500 billion points were well spent.
Now that he had confirmed that the [Enlightenment Function] was indeed very effective for him, Bai Xuan no longer regarded points as something to be stingy with.
For him, points were merely a medium to exchange for "resources," and since "resources" could genuinely benefit him, they were worth investing in.
With the slightest thought, a silent and immense transformation is taking place on this planet, and even at a level unnoticed by all living beings in the entire universe.
The foundation of the universe, the web of rules that constitutes the most basic level of all things, began to resonate gently yet powerfully.
More profound and fundamental laws than before were invisibly extracted and gathered from every corner of spacetime, from the deepest structure of matter, and from every trajectory of energy flow.
Countless rules and runes, more dazzling than stars and more intangible than thoughts, were born from nothingness. They were no longer simple light and shadow, but transformed into substantial, flowing "principles," weaving together a dazzling river of light that traverses nothingness.
These magnificent scenes do not occur in ordinary dimensions, but are manifested at the level of the origin of the world. They are miracles that only Bai Xuan, the Lord of the World, can "witness" and guide.
Billions of living beings continue their lives as usual, completely unaware of the spectacular evolution taking place at the core of the universe they inhabit.
Ultimately, all these ineffable manifestations, which are almost the origin of "Tao," are compressed and condensed to the extreme by an irresistible force.
A bead similar to the previous one, but completely different in size, luster, and the scene contained within, slowly condensed in Bai Xuan's palm.
It is still only the size of a longan, but its entire body presents a deeper and more restrained chaotic color, as if sealing a piece of the primordial universe that was just beginning to open within it.
Its essence is far superior to that of the previous bead.
"Recycle."
Bai Xuan's voice remained calm.
[Ding! An extremely high concentration of fundamental rules aggregate has been detected, containing a wealth of information on the world's root characteristics and initial laws. Its value is being assessed.]
The chat group notification sounds seemed to have a very slight, almost imperceptible delay, as if they were fully analyzing the value of the bead.
A moment later, the notification sound rang again. This time, even the mechanical voice seemed to carry a subtle, almost imperceptible fluctuation.
[Evaluation complete. Value: 3000 billion points.]
[Have you confirmed the recall?]
"confirm."
[Recycling successful! Congratulations to group member "Child of Nature" for gaining 3000 billion points.]
An even more astronomical sum of points silently flowed in, but Bai Xuan remained calm, as if it were just a slightly longer string of numbers.
He once again directed his consciousness toward the endless sea of rules.
"Activate the Enlightenment function."
[Ding! Group member "Child of Nature" has requested to activate the "Enlightenment Function". Confirm to consume points to enter the Enlightenment Space?]
"confirm."
[Command confirmed, Enlightenment Space open.]
