Prime Originator

Before Leon realized it, Tak-si completely used up a thousand wisps of True Grandmist Energy, yet he was not even remotely close to understanding anything about the Creation Law.

'Well, I expected it to be difficult, but difficult might be an understatement,' he mused.

Shortly after, he summoned another thousand wisps of True Grandmist Energy and offered it up for the core's repair.

'Take it, and continue.'

'Thank you, Master!'

Tak-si was even more jubilant and accepted everything with gratification.

Another half quarter of a burning incense's worth of time passed in the blink of the eye, but Leon still failed to learn anything about the Creation Law.

The progress of the core's repair was evident, and he won't be able to continue observing once the core is fully repaired.

'How many more wisps of True Grandmist Energy do you estimate it will take for your core's full repair, Tak-si?'

'About another 18,000 wisps of True Grandmist Energy would be needed for a full repair of the core, Master. As for restoring my spatial functions, another 8,000 wisps of True Grandmist Energy would suffice.'

'Another 8,000 wisps of True Grandmist Energy, huh?' Leon mused.

That was all he had left in his reserve.

'If I invest my remaining 8,000 wisps of True Grandmist Energy into core repair, I'll have nothing left for viscera consolidation. However, I can always refine more from the excess land…'

More importantly, once the realmship's spatial functions are restored, he could kick anyone out of the secret realm.

At the same time, he can also re-enter the secret realm if someone uses the Teleportation Array to kick everyone out before he can destroy it.

'Guess I'll just invest my remaining wisps of True Grandmist Energy into core repair,' he decided.

However, he couldn't do it right away—not when he could not gain anything from studying the repairing process of transforming True Grandmist Energy into objects.

'There must be some ways to improve my comprehension and perceive the Creation Law within the energy transformation process,' he pondered.

After he told the realm spirit not to disturb him, he entered deep meditation to contemplate.

What was the biggest difference between True Divinities and mortals? Their powerful strength? Their wealth of knowledge? Their limitless lifespan?

Whether it was their strength, knowledge, or lifespan, the gap was insurmountable; it was trying to compare heaven and the earth.

What he really wanted to know was the determining factor for comprehending the Creation Law.

True Divinities practically lived in a different dimension from humans; what they see, hear, smell, taste, and feel may very well be different from human perception.

Thus, how can a human perceive what True Divinities can perceive?

'If I want to see the entire iceberg, I can't just look at its tip; I have to see what's hidden under the sea surface as well… But even then, that's not the whole iceberg… Or at the very least, it is only one side of it.'

In other words, if he wanted to see something in its entirety, he had to look at all its sides, and not just one side.

But even then, that was just scratching the surface.

'This might be a crude way of looking at things, but I shall try it,' he settled on a method for his experimentation.

Shortly after giving the realm spirit another thousand wisps of True Grandmist Energy, he spread out his divine sense.

Then, he condensed it into a spiritual body of himself and had it sit on the opposite side of him to watch the energy transformation process from the other end.

What couldn't be seen from the front, could be seen from the back, giving Leon a fresh outlook on the transformation of True Grandmist Energy.

'There's some effect,' Leon narrowed his eyes with great focus.

He could divide his consciousness to create more spiritual clones of himself, but his thought process wouldn't be able to operate at peak capacity.

A short moment passed before Leon watched another thousand wisps of True Grandmist Energy disappear without gain.

'If I can simply overlap the entire thing with my divine sense, I would be able to sense all the changes without needing to go through some roundabout and tedious method like this.'

Leon sighed.

Unfortunately, the realm spirit's consciousness had to cover the core repairing spot; if he inserted his divine sense inside, it would affect the realm spirit's ability to repair.

Suddenly, he paused.

'Hold on a minute… There's no need to use my divine sense…' his eyes flickered brightly with sudden enlightenment.

He offered up another thousand wisps of True Grandmist Energy to the realm spirit again.

However, this time, he did not rely on his own pair of eyes nor his divine sense, deciding to shut them both off decisively.

He strengthened his connection to the realm spirit with his divine will and borrowed its omniscience to perceive the changes in the True Grandmist Energy.

A whole new world of perspective opened up to him.

As the wisps of True Grandmist Energy restored the core's missing parts, Leon perceived all of its myriad of changes—exactly the same way the realm spirit was perceiving it.

Finally, he managed to catch a glimpse of the Creation Law.

"So the Creation Law can transform True Grandmist Energy like this…" Leon muttered thoughtfully before offering up his remaining 6000 wisps of True Grandmist Energy to the realm spirit.

Through the omniscience of the realm spirit, he could perceive everything, even if he couldn't understand what was happening specifically.

Nevertheless, given time, he will come to understand them eventually.

More importantly, he had discovered new ways to continue perceiving the Creation Law even after the core is fully repaired.

'Like there is yin in yang, and yang in yin, good in evil, and evil in good, there is also creation in destruction, and destruction in creation…'

By understanding the reverse process of a Law, he can understand its opposing Law.

That was one way, the more complicated and uncertain way.

As for the simpler and more defined way…
