Chapter 98 Replicating the Chaos Monument
Perseus was unaware of the Chaos City Lord's assessment.
He was a little nervous after entering Chaos City, fearing that some powerful spy would discover something after scanning and a giant hand would slap him from afar.
The puzzle system proved to be very effective.
The creature card with soul correction completely transformed Perseus into a 'human,' so that even a powerful being at the level of a universe master could not detect the slightest flaw.
Now, Perseus can finally rest easy.
Seeing that the expected reckoning had not yet arrived, he roughly knew what was going on; the Lord of Chaos City had not seen through his disguise.
Since that's the case...
"I choose the 'Cosmic Chaos Monument'!"
In the city lord's mansion, in front of the corridor with rubbings of 52 Chaos Steles hanging on the wall, Perseus told the black-robed messenger his choice.
Upon hearing that he wanted to choose the Cosmic Chaos Monument, the black-robed envoy was slightly taken aback.
Are you sure?
The way geniuses from the five major powers comprehend the Chaos Stele is different from how world lords who purchase a spot comprehend the Chaos Stele.
The former allows for new opportunities for enlightenment; if you don't gain anything the first time, you can wait for a second chance. The latter, however, only offers one opportunity.
The number of times one tries to comprehend something determines the weight of the choice.
For ordinary realm lords, breaking through to immortality and possessing eternal lifespan is far more important than cultivating higher-level laws.
The realm lords he had seen before who bought comprehension slots mostly chose the Chaos Stele, which had a clear attribute orientation, and focused on studying the lower-level laws.
It seems that this realm lord has great ambitions...
"Everyone, please listen carefully. This choice is very important. Once you choose the Chaos Stele, you cannot change it. So please be careful before making your choice."
"And this friend, you now..."
"I said I would choose the Cosmic Chaos Monument."
Now, the black-robed messenger was no longer conflicted.
He uploaded Perseus's choice directly to the virtual universe, waved to the next person, and each person's registration took no more than 10 seconds. It took two hours to complete all the registrations.
Subsequently, among the 1008 Realm Lords, except for a few Realm Lords who needed to find a place to cultivate first due to insufficient comprehension of lower-level laws, the rest of the Realm Lords chose to directly begin their comprehension. Because there were too many people, the black-robed envoy had to arrange for some powerful individuals to wait on the city wall.
This time, there won't be a scene of two immortals battling it out.
Including the Chaos Monument... all the members of the previous Genius Battle have left. Before the Strongest Battle begins, those who come here to comprehend are basically World Lords who have purchased the opportunity to comprehend the Initial Universe.
As for less popular choices like the Cosmic Chaos Monument, Perseus doesn't need to queue at all and can directly enter the cultivation chamber to comprehend it.
Even now, he was the only person in the entire secret room.
……
The swirling, chaotic air currents dissipated.
There were nine Chaos Stele pieces arranged in parallel to each other, each emanating a mysterious energy.
However, Perseus paid no attention to the other Chaos Monuments at this moment, focusing all his attention on the third Chaos Monument, which was engraved with countless nebulae.
The nebula exhibits two different trajectories.
A silvery-white, even sharper nebula spread outwards, with countless stars twinkling like longswords dripping with blood.
The nebula, however, appears as a chaotic mass from the outside in, a hazy grayness that seems to shroud the entire world in a layer of dark clouds, obscuring the view below.
Both types of nebulae can be observed to have 12 different paths and 108 possible trajectories.
Because of the Chaos Monument, Perseus could sense a force of attraction every moment, trying to draw him into it and to explore the laws of time and space in depth.
It's not possible right now.
Perseus had to try to see if the puzzle system could extract the law information contained in the Chaos Monument, and whether the extracted information could help him comprehend the law.
This is obviously an extremely tedious process.
Especially now.
Even though Perseus deliberately simplified the puzzle-solving process, breaking down the clusters of nebulae according to their essence and then further refining them into multiple parts, the resulting puzzle was still incredibly complex, giving one a dizzying feeling at just one glance.
Fortunately, the enlightenment did have some effect.
On the other side, the Myriad Poisons clone used energy crystals to simulate the corresponding secret patterns. Although the patterns on them were far inferior to the real Chaos Stele, they were still a manifestation of the essence of the law.
Based on this alone, Perseus will be able to complete the replica.
He explored the third Chaos Stele inch by inch, and according to the 216 essences of the laws of space and time, he broke it down into 3650 small fragments, which were arranged to correspond to the third image of the Chaos Stele.
This took a full three days.
To avoid arousing suspicion from the cosmic ruler guarding the outside due to his lack of change, Perseus returned to the first image for the last four days.
Since the Time Law has only been broken once, it is difficult to make much progress in a short period of time.
Having already mastered five essential spatial laws, he made rapid progress, not only mastering the sixth essential law in just one day, but also gaining a basic understanding of the seventh essential law.
Unfortunately, there wasn't enough time.
When the seven days of meditation were up, before Perseus could even wake up, the Venerable One with nine tails and nine scales began calling out to his soul, one call after another, as if trying to shatter one's eardrums.
……
Ten seconds later, Perseus practically fled the meditation chamber.
However, because of his breakthrough in comprehending the laws of space, the Venerable One outside the door deduced his general situation from the changes in his aura with just a glance.
"He's quite a talented little guy."
A smile flashed in the eyes of the Nine-Hound Venerable. "His aura points directly to the very essence of space. This is a sign that he has embarked on the path of the essence of the laws. Although it is still uncertain whether he can succeed, the aura of the fire law within his body is even more prominent... It seems that the lower-level laws are very close to perfection, or rather, it is possible that they have already been perfected."
This is a potential prince!
The starting point is to be granted the title of Marquis and achieve immortality; with a bit of luck, one can even be granted the title of King. Although that still wouldn't catch his eye, he might take some Venerable Ones as his subordinates.
"Let's see—"
I opened the virtual universe and glanced at Perseus's basic information, from his origins in the Fire Cloud Clan to the rumors that he could rival immortals.
"The fact that the Realm Lord can fight the Military Lord is something that most geniuses in the Primal Secret Realm can do. The main focus is on fire, and the secondary focus is on space. This kind of secret technique configuration is still a bit off."
The Nine-Owl Venerable stroked his chin.
"Hmm... I still don't want to settle."
Perseus had no idea that with just a moment's lapse in judgment, he would miss the opportunity to become the disciple of a high-ranking master.
Having finished studying the Chaos Stele, he was now moving along the street, trying to find a temporary place with special stone carvings on the surrounding rooftops.
Unfortunately, Lian Luo was never even born.
Even with his improved cultivation level, Perseus was able to retell most of the novels he had read in his previous life and also recalled a particular rooftop number.
Due to a time discrepancy, at this current stage, cultivation residence number 0290028981 is just an ordinary cultivation residence, no different from any other cultivation residence.
