Chapter 301: Mastering the Law

Chapter 301: Mastering the Law

December 3rd, 2024

Soul Sink Plane, Temporary Campsite.

The Golem Puppets that were originally stationed in the camp were reassigned to patrol the perimeter, with the camp at the center.

As for the camp itself, it had been transformed into a gravity training ground. The ground was covered in intricate and mysterious patterns, crisscrossing densely, and the air was filled with faint distortions resembling folds, indicating the extreme gravity within.

Even the Supreme Golem struggled to move upon entering the camp.

Ordinary buildings couldn't withstand such terrifying gravity, and all structures within the camp had been demolished, leaving it empty.

Su Nan sat cross-legged in the center of the camp, his eyes closed, enduring the astonishing gravity while concentrating on comprehending the Gravity Law.

Nearly seven hundred years had passed since the end of the Sorcerer Civil War, and he had dedicated himself almost entirely to understanding the Gravity Law.

Except for occasional trips back to the Starlight Continent to synthesize resources, he had spent most of his time in the Soul Sink Plane.

With his wholehearted dedication to cultivation, his understanding of the Gravity Law had advanced by leaps and bounds.

Now, he had reached the final hurdle.

After an unknown period of day and night, Su Nan's body suddenly trembled, and a strange wave of energy erupted from him, rapidly spreading in all directions. Wherever it passed, the folded distortions in the void vanished, and the intense gravity disappeared.

On the camp's periphery, the patrolling Golem Puppets stumbled, involuntarily lifting off the ground.

But soon, the strange energy wave disappeared, and the Golem Puppets fell back to the ground with a thud, shaking their heads. Seeing no orders from the camp's center, they resumed their patrols.

In the center of the camp, Su Nan opened his eyes, a look of unconcealed elation in his gaze.

"Finally, I've mastered it!"

After more than eight hundred years of effort, he had finally succeeded in mastering the Gravity Law! If he wished, he could ascend to become a True Spirit Sorcerer, reaching the realm that countless sorcerers dreamed of.

Of course, Su Nan had no intention of doing so just yet.

His aspirations went far beyond merely becoming a True Spirit Sorcerer.

After a long while, Su Nan managed to calm his elation and focused on sensing the Gravity Law he now controlled.

Comprehending a law and mastering it were two different matters.

The former only allowed one to perceive and understand the law to a certain extent, but it didn't grant the ability to manipulate the law's power. At most, the effectiveness of related spells would be enhanced.

The latter, however, represented a true understanding of the law's essence, enabling one to control the law's power to a certain degree.

In essence, the difference between Su Nan and a True Spirit Sorcerer was that he hadn't taken that final step, and thus, he could control a relatively smaller scale of the law's power.

They were on the same level, differing only in the magnitude of their power.

In simpler terms, he was a half-step away from becoming a True Spirit.

Ordinary Tier Three Sorcerers would likely not last a single exchange against Su Nan in his current state.

Taking a deep breath, Su Nan's mind stirred, and the gravity around him suddenly intensified, increasing hundreds of times in an instant.

The camp's ground, hardened like iron after centuries of extreme gravity, now cracked under the sudden surge, forming a vast spider web of fissures.

It was as if an invisible giant fist had struck the plane, creating a massive crater in the camp.

In the next moment, the mountain-like gravity vanished, and the rubble on the ground seemed to lose its weight, floating in mid-air.

Observing this, Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.

The increase and decrease of gravity seemed ordinary, but it held immense practical value in combat, used skillfully, it could significantly impact the outcome of a battle.

Moreover, the applications of the Gravity Law weren't limited to gravity manipulation.

Su Nan flicked his finger, and an invisible wave shot out, striking a hill a kilometer away. A loud boom reverberated, and the hill shattered as if hit by a cannonball!

Immediately after, large folds of distortion appeared in the void, crushing the remaining hill remnants into fine powder!

Gravity Wave! Spatial Distortion!

These two applications of the Gravity Law were equally formidable!

Additionally, there was the even more powerful Gravity Black Hole, but Su Nan couldn't use this technique yet; he needed the power that would come with ascending to a True Spirit Sorcerer.

"After ascending to a True Spirit Sorcerer and further mastering the Gravity Law, I can use it as a foundation to attempt to comprehend the Law of Universal Gravitation and even extend it to Spatial Law and Temporal Law."

Su Nan exhaled with delight, filled with boundless anticipation for the potential of the Gravity Law.

"With the Gravity Law mastered, next is to comprehend and control the Thunder Law."

Su Nan stretched his body, deciding to rest for a few days before finding a Thunder Element Space to comprehend the Thunder Law.

Dismissing the Golem Puppets, Su Nan tore open a planar fissure, stepped through, and vanished. When he reappeared, he was back on the Starlight Continent.

High in the sky, his figure flickered, and he instantly teleported into the Starlight Wizard Tower.

After mastering the power of the law, Su Nan had gained a new understanding and control over energy particles, which also enhanced his spellcasting abilities.

Now, with a single teleportation spell, he could traverse the entire Starlight Continent.

Even a single spell missile could effortlessly eliminate a Tier One Sorcerer!

The power of the law was an advanced form of basic energy particles, and the difference between having control over the law and not was like the difference between heaven and earth in terms of energy particle manipulation.

Back in his study, Su Nan sent out a message.

Before long, Li Ze arrived.

As their eyes met, a spark of excitement lit up in Su Nan's gaze.

"You've reached Tier Three Crystallization?"

After reshaping her body, Li Ze had dedicated herself to cultivation.

Although her ghostly form two years ago hadn't allowed her to break through in actual realm, it had provided her with profound insights into energy particle manipulation and cultivation. With the support of Star Alliance resources, her strength had skyrocketed.

So, it was no surprise that she had reached Tier Three Crystallization three years ago.

"I broke through three years ago, but I'm still not as strong as you."

Although she said this, a hint of joy flashed in Li Ze's eyes.

However, after scrutinizing Su Nan for a moment, she seemed to notice something and hesitated, "Have you mastered the Gravity Law?"

Su Nan nodded with a smile.

Seeing this, Li Ze couldn't help but exclaim, "Your cultivation speed is truly astonishing!"

Even after witnessing numerous miracles created by Su Nan, she was still in awe at this moment.

In just over eight hundred years, he had overcome two significant hurdles—comprehending the law and mastering it. It was likely that no one in the entire multiverse had achieved such rapid progress! Su Nan had far surpassed the descendants of True Spirit Sorcerers!

After a long pause, Li Ze finally regained her composure and asked, "When do you plan to ascend to become a True Spirit Sorcerer?"

"There's no rush." Su Nan shrugged, "I plan to comprehend another Thunder Law."

Li Ze wasn't surprised by this statement.

Given Su Nan's exceptional talent, it was only natural for him to pursue the path of a dual-law True Spirit Sorcerer. Anything less would be a waste of his potential.

He had already mastered the Gravity Law, a Rule System Law, in just over 800 years, so it was estimated that he could comprehend the Thunder Law, an Elemental System Law, in around 500 to 600 years, making it a total of 1,400 to 1,500 years for both.

Even this amount of time was insufficient for an ordinary Tier Three Sorcerer to comprehend and control a single Elemental System Law! The more they witnessed Su Nan's rapid progress, the more they realized his extraordinary talent.

It was truly baffling.

"Which law do you plan to comprehend?" Su Nan asked suddenly.

Li Ze snapped back to attention and replied without hesitation, "The Stellar Law."

Su Nan's expression conveyed his understanding.

Ever since the existence of the Starfall Union, all True Spirit Sorcerers born within it had comprehended the Stellar Law.

It had become the symbol of the Starfall Union.

Although the comprehension of laws was a complex process that couldn't be easily taught, the experiences of countless predecessors within the Starfall Union had accumulated some insights that could aid in understanding the Stellar Law.

To increase the chances of becoming a True Spirit Sorcerer, Li Ze's choice of this path was not surprising.

After exchanging experiences about comprehending laws for a while, Su Nan shifted the topic to the development of the Star Alliance.

Although Li Ze was busy with her cultivation, she wasn't as hands-off as Su Nan, who was almost like a carefree boss. She had always kept herself informed about the Star Alliance's progress, and upon Su Nan's inquiry, she began to explain.

"We have firmly established control over the ten planes captured during the Sorcerer Civil War."

"Each plane has undergone different development projects based on its unique conditions, with the Magic Plantation Development Program in the Purplish Moon Plane being the most prominent. It is now in its final stages and has entered a mature operational phase."

"The Immigration Program in the Xig Plane is also proceeding smoothly. By the year 4300 of the Starlight Calendar, the Xig Plane should complete its initial transformation, and the population will reach the average level of human planes."

Su Nan nodded in satisfaction.

Once the Xig Plane's transformation is complete, the Star Alliance will possess four human planes, accounting for one-third of all planes. This ratio is unparalleled across the entire Sorcerer World.

It will undoubtedly be a significant advantage for the Star Alliance's development!

"How many sorcerers do we have now?"

"As of last month, we have a total of 4,864 sorcerers."

Li Ze paused before adding, "According to the intelligence we purchased in Omnipresent City, the Thousand-headed Bird had approximately 4,300 sorcerers before the Sorcerer Civil War, while the Blackthorn Tower had over 6,200. These are rough estimates, but they still indicate that the Star Alliance has already reached the middle to upper ranks of second-tier wizard factions."

"The proportion of Tier Two and Three Sorcerers is slightly lower, but it's still within the middle to upper ranks of second-tier standards."

Su Nan nodded slightly, satisfied with this information.

The rapid growth of the Star Alliance's sorcerer population was primarily due to the consecutive capture and transformation of two human planes, resulting in a significant increase in the population base. This, in turn, led to a surge in the number of sorcerers.

The swift rise in the proportion of Tier Two and Three Sorcerers was a result of increased resource supply.

After Su Nan's breakthrough to Tier Three Crystallization, he no longer needed to absorb Divine Energy. Instead, he supplied his subordinates with Element Crystal Cores synthesized from Element Crystal Dust, greatly accelerating their cultivation.

With ample resources, the Star Alliance sorcerers' cultivation speed naturally skyrocketed.

The number of Tier Two and Three Sorcerers rose accordingly.

"At this rate, by the time you become a True Spirit Sorcerer, the Star Alliance might leap into the top tier of second-tier wizard factions, replacing the Blackthorn Tower's previous position." Li Ze said with a smile.

Su Nan shook his head, "We're not quite there yet. Even if I break through, the Star Alliance will only have one True Spirit Sorcerer, which is still insufficient to challenge the top tier. Once you also become a True Spirit Sorcerer, then we'll be in a better position."

The Stellar Law belonged to the Rule System Laws, and its comprehension and control were not much easier than the Gravity Law.

However, once Li Ze successfully comprehended the Stellar Law, she could use the Enlightenment Elixir to aid her cultivation, significantly speeding up her progress compared to ordinary Tier Three Sorcerers.

When the time comes, Su Nan can spare some time to synthesize Stellar Law Power to assist Li Ze in her comprehension, and within three to four thousand years, she might be able to become a True Spirit Sorcerer.

At that point, the Star Alliance will have two True Spirit Sorcerers and truly be considered among the top tier of second-tier wizard factions!

As for advancing further into the ranks of large wizard factions, Su Nan was realistic about the Star Alliance's limitations. He was well aware that it would be impossible for them to match the decades or even millions of years of development that these factions had achieved in the Multiverse.

The current large wizard factions in the Multiverse had all endured for hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of years.

Su Nan knew that even with his best efforts, it would be unrealistic for the Star Alliance to catch up to these factions in just a few thousand years.

However, Su Nan believed that as long as the Star Alliance continued to grow, they would one day achieve the status of a large wizard faction!

Li Ze was unaware of Su Nan's plans and simply shook her head upon hearing his words.

"I can't compare to you. Just being able to break through before the end of my life is already a great achievement."

Su Nan smiled and told her about the Enlightenment Elixir.

Li Ze's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

"There's such a potion!"

Li Ze was overjoyed.

The potion that Su Nan had personally verified must be effective.

With this, the time she needed to control the Stellar Law would be reduced by at least half, significantly increasing her chances of becoming a True Spirit Sorcerer before the end of her life!

How could she not be thrilled!

"No wonder it's you!" Li Ze sighed with admiration.

Su Nan always managed to bring her pleasant surprises.

Su Nan smiled but didn't mention the synthesis of Law Power, as he knew Li Ze might be overwhelmed with excitement.

"By the way, has anything significant happened in the Multiverse recently?"

Su Nan asked casually, but Li Ze's expression turned serious.

"There is something."

"Not long ago, the Crescent Moon Goddess was killed by the Spider Queen, and her God Realm and Divine Duty were devoured."

Su Nan was slightly taken aback.

In his memory, the fall of the Crescent Moon Goddess seemed to be the prelude to the Spider Queen's ambush.

The two events were separated by only a year.

This meant that the Sorcerer's ambush on the Spider Queen was about to take place.
