Swallowed Star: Copy God

Only by stepping into the threshold of the origin laws can one be considered to have truly embarked on the path of cultivation.

However, for the vast majority of creatures in this primordial universe, comprehending the laws is an unattainable dream for a lifetime.

How many creatures exist in the primordial universe? Trillions upon trillions?

Countless ordinary people never even get the chance to embark on the path of cultivation, let alone comprehend the laws.

It should be known that the names of each realm are not chosen arbitrarily.

Planet-level, Star-level, and Universe-level essentially represent the difficulty of producing experts of that level.

A massive star system might only produce one Universe-level expert.

Ordinary Universe-level experts are considered figures in their own right in the primordial universe, but the vast majority of them have not even comprehended their own domain.

Generally, cultivators follow a set pattern in their cultivation process, doing specific things at specific stages in a step-by-step manner.

Planet-level cultivators receive the basic endowment of origin laws, Star-level cultivators comprehend their own artistic conception.

Universe-level cultivators attempt to comprehend their own domain, until Domain Lords deeply comprehend their domain and begin to sense their existence conforming to the origin laws.

Then, they step into the threshold of this origin law and cultivate it deeply.

After breaking through to World Lord, because of the unparalleled compatibility between World Lords and the origin laws, their attainments in the origin laws they cultivate experience a tremendous increase.

They can quickly cultivate their corresponding origin laws to a very profound level, even gaining the recognition of the origin laws, and their realm rises to the peak of World Lord.

This only refers to a general lower origin law; this alone is basically the limit for a cultivator.

It is precisely because of the difficulty in comprehending the laws that the importance of talent is highlighted.

Without talent, one simply cannot continue on the path of cultivation.

Compared to ordinary cultivators, those geniuses and monstrous talents are always one step ahead of others.

However, even with numerous geniuses, compared to ordinary people, whether it is the speed of cultivation or their own strength, they are much stronger.

But at the level of World Lord pinnacle, the vast majority of people can be considered to have returned to the same starting line.

Breaking through from World Lord pinnacle to the Immortal realm is the first leap in growth on the path of cultivation.

Once this step is crossed, it is equivalent to possessing near-eternal life and truly becoming a god.

Therefore, even former geniuses will be trapped at this step for a lifetime, unable to advance even an inch.

The reason for this is that the growth rate and upper limit of geniuses far exceed those of ordinary people.

This leads to their inner worlds during the World Lord stage often being much stronger than those of ordinary people.

The evolution of the inner world into a divine kingdom is the key for World Lords to break through to Immortality.

Therefore, if they cannot break through the barriers of their inner world, they cannot reach the level of Immortality.

In comparison, those with lower potential have a greater advantage at this step.

Because of the special assistance of the World Lord realm, they can also comprehend a major lower origin law to a very profound level.

As long as they understand the last layer of the barrier, they can also break through into a completely new level.

Although their future potential is very small, and they basically have no chance to climb higher, whether they achieve Immortality or not is a huge difference in their status and strength.

Cultivating step by step from a weak state to Immortality is a very large watershed.

The scenery before and after the boundary is completely different.

Those who have not reached Immortality spend their entire lives yearning for the realm of Immortality.

But what they don't know is that even if they break through to Immortality, unless they are willing to be ordinary and enjoy their lives in peace.

Otherwise, they still cannot stand at the peak of the primordial universe, and their status is still very awkward.

In order to improve themselves and continue to grow stronger, they must still strive for cultivation resources, inheritances, and treasures.

The mortality rate during the Immortal stage is no lower than before Immortality.

It's just that because of the sharp drop in the base number after Immortality, it's not particularly obvious.

Every Immortal expert is an existence who has fully comprehended a certain lower origin law.

If they want to continue to improve, in addition to constantly tempering their divine body, the most important thing is to comprehend the higher origin law corresponding to the lower origin law they have mastered.

Compared to lower origin laws, how difficult is it to comprehend higher origin laws?

The talent and opportunities required are far beyond what was previously needed.

How many proud sons of heaven have had smooth sailing before Immortality, breaking through to the Immortal realm with almost no difficulty?

But after reaching Immortality, they instantly become ordinary.

Either they waste time in endless life, or they die on the road of exploring opportunities.

Those who can continue to move forward on the road of Immortality are one in ten thousand.

Most Immortal experts can be considered very good if they can reach the level of a King.

Think of Luo Feng's teacher, True Yan King, what a powerful figure he was?

Wielding heavy treasures, as a human, he was almost invincible among King-level experts.

But he was still trapped in the King realm for countless epochs, unable to break through, and lived in seclusion in Chaos City for many years, almost giving up the idea of breaking through.

If True Yan King didn't have a good disciple like Luo Feng, who gave him the opportunity to go to the Ancestral God Sect to comprehend deeper fusion laws, who knows how long True Yan King would have to wait to break through.

So, without heaven-defying opportunities and talent, the Immortal realm is actually the ceiling for ordinary life.

Once one can comprehend a lower origin law and its corresponding higher origin law, and the divine body is sufficiently tempered, one can immediately break through to the level of Universe Venerable.

Universe Venerables are figures who have completely mastered a higher origin law; without the blessing of secret techniques and treasures, they basically crush Immortal experts.

Reaching the level of Universe Venerable is considered to have truly entered the ranks of the high-level experts of the primordial universe.

After all, within the primordial universe, the original humans, as one of the six peak races, did not have many Universe Venerables, and each one was considered very precious.

Which of those who can cultivate to the level of Universe Venerable is not a stunningly talented figure?

Therefore, even though the difficulty of breaking through further is getting higher and higher, they are still the backbone and hope for the future of the entire race.

From Universe Venerable, if one wants to break through to Universe Master, the tempering of the divine body is the foundation, and the key still lies in the laws.

In the Jin universe, Universe Masters are also called Lords of Laws, and that is the reason.

Either fully comprehend the two superior original laws of time and space, or completely master a fusion law combining an inferior original law with a superior one.

For example, the fusion law of metal and space, water and space, wind and time, and so on.

Achieving either of these points allows one to break through the boundary and reach the level of a Universe Master.

Truly reaching the level of a Universe Master is considered standing in the pinnacle circle of the original universe.

The strong individuals who can reach this step, regardless of their birth or past origins, are now considered one in countless trillions.

Even if it's a pig, as long as it has the realm of a Universe Master, its talent, divine body, gene level, etc., are all top-notch in the original universe.

After becoming a Universe Master, every Universe Master becomes incredibly aligned with the ten original laws within the original universe.

This degree of alignment is far more pronounced than it was during the World Master stage.

In other words, a Universe Master, unless particularly inept, can basically master all ten original laws of the original universe with some accumulation of time.

This is considered a benefit bestowed upon Universe Masters by the will of the original universe, and it is also the most equal aspect among most Universe Masters.

However, although their attainments in the ten original laws are nearly the same, there is a significant difference in combat power among Universe Masters.

First-tier and second-tier Universe Masters are actually not many in the original universe or even the universe sea.

After all, once reaching this realm, as long as one is willing to work hard to improve, reaching the level of a third-tier Universe Master is not considered very difficult.

But wanting to go further and reach the level of a fourth-tier or even fifth-tier combat power is not such a simple matter.

The division of combat power for Universe Masters is not only linked to treasures and the strength of the divine body, but most importantly, the secret techniques mastered.

Possessing the strongest secret technique or even a fused strongest secret technique, coupled with a slightly powerful treasure, can easily reach the fifth-tier level.

However, the creation of secret techniques, in the mainstream cultivation system of the original universe, is inseparable from the comprehension of laws.

The most basic foundation of a Universe Master can be said to be the complete comprehension of the ten original laws of the original universe.

But comprehending is one aspect; being able to create secret techniques that fit oneself based on these laws is the most difficult test.

Moreover, secret techniques comprehended from inferior original laws are definitely not as good as secret techniques based on superior original laws.

And secret techniques of a single law are naturally not comparable to secret techniques corresponding to fusion laws.

Therefore, in the Universe Master stage of cultivation, if one wants to improve their combat power or climb towards a higher realm, they still cannot do without the comprehension and cultivation of laws.

After all, if one cannot create a sixth-tier secret technique, it is fundamentally impossible to touch the realm of the strongest in the universe.

Every strongest in the universe, regardless of the path they choose, has a solid foundation in the comprehension of laws.

Not only are the ten original laws deeply engraved in their hearts, but they also have a profound understanding of the fusion between laws.

Otherwise, it would be impossible for them to create sixth-tier secret techniques and reach the standard for breakthrough.

However, for the strongest in the universe, that is, the newly entered True Gods, the comprehension and preliminary fusion of the ten original laws is only a beginning.

When they sublimate their divine kingdom into a small universe, they experience the opportunity of chaos evolution, which can advance their own evolution of laws by a great distance.

But chaos evolution only happens once in a lifetime; after that, future cultivation is like a snail crawling slowly, and one may not even see any signs of progress.

The ten original laws are the foundation, and next is the fusion of two different laws.

From the most compatible metal and space fusion law, water and space fusion law, wind and time fusion law, etc., to metal and time, water and time, wind and space, and finally space and time fusion.

This step alone has as many as seventeen types.

In the Universe Master stage, although comprehending the original laws of the original universe is considered very easy,

facing the fusion laws, the difficulty has increased by countless stages.

Wanting to comprehend each fusion law requires countless time and effort.

Among them, talent, opportunity, perseverance, persistence... each is indispensable.

And how far one has walked on this road roughly represents the combat power level of the Universe Master and even the strongest in the universe.

Why are the Chaos City Lord, the Star River Lord, and others always at the peak level of fifth-tier top Universe Master combat power?

The fundamental reason is that they all have a very deep understanding of the fusion laws, and the power of the secret techniques created based on this naturally rises with the tide, making them invincible.

After the fusion of two laws is completed, there is the fusion of three different original laws, the fusion of four laws, five laws, six laws, until the final nine!

Each step of improvement represents a geometric increase in the number of fusion laws cultivated!

Three laws 136 types, four laws 952 types, five laws 5712 types... nine laws 685440 types!

In other words, as cultivation continuously progresses, the number of fusion laws that need to be comprehended also increases exponentially.

The higher the number of laws added, the higher the difficulty of fusion and comprehension.

The increasingly high difficulty, coupled with the increasingly large number of fusion laws, can make one feel the despair of countless predecessors in the cultivation process simply by knowing such news.

Although the laws are there, and the path is almost straightforward, countless strongest in the universe cannot advance too far.

The lifespan of three universe reincarnation eras can only stop at the peak of True God, unable to break through to the realm of Void True God.

It can be said that on this path, talent is no longer the most critical thing; whether one has enough opportunities is the key to the upper limit of the future.

It is precisely because of this that the vast majority of the strongest in the universe do not choose to cultivate in seclusion, but explore dangerous places in the universe sea.

They are searching for the remnants of ancient civilizations, so as to search for the cultivation experience and inheritance from senior experts, in order to accelerate the progress of their own comprehension.

Otherwise, relying solely on one's own comprehension, the lifespan of three universe reincarnation eras is likely not enough.

The reason why Luo Feng in the original work was able to trade with the Holy Land Universe of the Eastern Emperor and obtain several supreme treasures was because Luo Feng had a higher level of cultivation inheritance in his hands, which could help the Eastern Emperor take a step further.

Standing on the shoulders of giants is the best way of cultivation for future practitioners.
