As I entered the one with the world state, the vastness of the World and its boundless will greeted me. I do not know how strong my willpower has to grow to resist the domination of the limitless will of the world. Bloodette achieved it, so I know that it is not impossible. I will get there in time. 

Ignoring the overwhelming feeling that I got after entering the vast and boundless world, I focused on the rules that started to surround me. Thankfully I did not need to waste time on picking a rule as I already had a rule in my mind. I accessed my Basic mastery of the Blood rule to track the specific rule. 

Following the directions pointed by my basic mastery of the Blood rule, I moved my consciousness in the river of energy formed by the countless streams of various rules. It was hard to identify which stream of energy belonged to which rule. Having a trustable guide like the Blood rule helped, and soon, my consciousness reached a broad stream of rule. This stream was fatter than other streams. It basically occupied half of the river formed by the gathering of the rule streams. 

Feeling its presence, I knew this was the stream of Blood rule. Finding this stream and comparing it to the other streams proved my theory that the location where a card apprentice enters one with the world state affects their access to the rules within the world. It may not be a massive discovery for the veteran card apprentices, but for me, it was something notice worthy.

Now I know that my calamity daughter gems will get the maximum benefit of the blood pills to comprehend Blood rule if they were to enter the one with the world state in the Blood rock cave. This way will be more productive for them rather than asking them to do it at their convenience. It seems I will have to request more favors from Bloodette. I know this is shameless on my part, but hey, what are friends for. 

I no longer hesitated, and my consciousness dove right into the fat stream of blood rule. Having embraced the blood rule, I felt a faint connection with the blood rule. This faint connection between me and the blood rule seemed from my basic mastery of blood rule. Having devoted myself to the blood rule, I started to explore it, understand it and discover what was hidden from me. 

For the current me, the blood rule was a vast mystery that I needed to solve one layer after another. The more I uncovered the mystery of blood rule, the more I formed an understanding of the blood. This understanding of mine strengthened the connection between the blood rule and me that I felt earlier. I could feel this connection growing with my understanding of the blood rule.

As the connection grew, there came the point when I heard a notification from my grimoire, 

[ Your comprehension of blood rule has advanced from Basic Mastery to intermediate Mastery.]

Hearing this notification, I knew that whatever it was doing was working, and I was heading the right way. As I was about to continue my exploration into world rule, from the sudden interaction of the grimoire, I realized that I had forgotten something important being immersed in the newfound knowledge. 

I had forgotten about my slave consciousness. They are part of my mutated soul and Calamity Soul gem. So when I enter the one with the world, they enter the one with the world state with me. Overwhelmed by the boundless mystic in front of me, I forgot about them. Thanks to the grimoire notification, I did not waste time comprehending world rules with a single consciousness. As with four consciousness, I could achieve intermediate mastery of blood rule a lot sooner.

Now that I know the mistake I made. I no longer hesitated and summoned my three slave consciousness. And with the help of my slave consciousness, peeling into the mysteries of the blood rule became much faster. With my current speed of exploration of the blood rule, I am pretty sure I will soon be hearing another grimoire notification of my advance in blood rule comprehension. 

The deeper I dived into the blood rule I started to see the blood rule split into various shades of blood. As I and my slave unconsciousness approached that territory, I suddenly heard another notification from my grimoire, 

[ Your comprehension of blood rule has advanced from intermediate Mastery to Advanced Mastery.]

[Achieving the Blood rule advanced mastery, you have met the blood rule bifurcation point. Please choose one meaning of the blood rule to continue your comprehension of the blood rule. 

Caution: once you choose a meaning of the specific rule, there is no turning back until you gain complete mastery over that meaning.] 

[Due to the host's mutated Soul, the host can choose different meanings for each of his consciousness. 

Recommended: The host is advised to choose the same meaning for each of his consciousness to avoid complications.] 

Having read the notification, I realized that after advancing to advanced mastery, the blood rule was no longer a singularity. Instead, it branched out into millions of different meanings. Each of these meanings of the blood is represented by a different shade of the blood rule. This point in the comprehension of the rules is called the bifurcation point. Arriving at this point means the card apprentice has achieved advanced mastery in the specific rule. 

Right now, I was at the crossroads of comprehending the Blood rule. I had to choose from millions of paths in front of me. Without picking, I cannot go ahead even if I have multiple consciousnesses. 

According to the notification, I can only choose one meaning of the blood rule, and this choice is permanent until I gain a complete comprehension of the meaning I decided on. But thanks to my mutated soul, I could choose different meanings for each of my consciousness, but the notification also advised me not to do so. Therefore I decided against choosing more than one meaning. 

Because with my synchronization rate, the Blood rock cave, and my slave consciousness, I was confident that I could comprehend one meaning to completion. This way, I would save a lot of time by not dividing my workforce into different places. With this, my choice was evident and self warranted. It's not as if choosing four meanings from a million meanings would make things any better. 

Choosing from one meaning was a problem in itself. I could not decide which to choose. I know they say there are no waste rules but waste people. We all can agree that some rules are handier than others. And that's what my problem is right now. 

The Blood rule is known for its infinite regeneration and infinite stamina. Blood rule is famous for being able to steal the essence of blood from other creatures and help in the recovery of its wielder. Though the method to achieve this wondrous feat is questionable, it is still a very powerful rule. And because of this nature of the blood rule, many card apprentices with questionable morals long to comprehend blood rule. 

Blood rule has many other outrageous meanings, like the possession skill that bloodette displayed. A card apprentice can use their blood to shed his body and possess another body by devouring the original owner of the body. This way, the card apprentice will not only gain the body of his victim but also the memoirs and life essence of their victim. An exciting ability, giving a card apprentice an ability to live infinitely. 

Another outrageous meaning of blood rule is the one that the demigod Redfall comprehended, which allowed him to use the blood from power full card apprentices to increase his active soul control percentage. That meaning was so outrageous that it even allowed a demigod to make a breakthrough, though the resources required were massive. 

I also heard that demigod Redfall had comprehended a second meaning of the blood rule, which allowed him to charm anybody by feeding them his blood. It is said that this is how he was able to form an endless army of lovers and followers with blind faith and trust in him. 

And then there are other handy meanings like the one that allows the card apprentice to read the creature's memory through their blood, be it living or dead. Not to mention the handier and most common meaning of blood that allows the card apprentice in recovering health, stamina, and soul power. 

All of these are attractive meanings, but they all are totally useless to me, the owner of the Calamity Soul Gem. Due to the soul energy manipulation ability of the Calamity gem, I didn't have to worry about recovering health, stamina, and soul power.
