Creating Heavenly Laws

Chapter 80

Thousands of years ago, the concept of 'nations' did not exist.

At that time, the human race lived in tribal forms, hunting and surviving in the four corners of the world.

In that incredibly distant ancient period, a divine being appeared.

It walked the world, observing all things.

Eventually, it offered sacrifices of mountains and rivers, refining the four seas.

Against the natural order, it forcefully created a hundred weapons within the heavens and earth.

These hundred weapons were the manifestation of the essence of the laws of heaven and earth and were forcibly taken from the heavens and earth by that ancient divine being.

Without this ancient divine being, these hundred weapons would not have been able to break free from the control of heaven and earth and separate themselves.

And these hundred weapons became the mighty divine weapons of later times.

"You're the eldest, you're the second, you're the third."

The face of the ancient divine being was blurry as it looked towards the hundred weapons floating in the heavens and earth, emitting a vast spiritual fluctuation.

And Lin Yuan, at this moment, viewed the world through the perspective of a single spear.

The Sun and Moon Spear.

The Sun and Moon Spear was the eighteenth weapon forged by that ancient divine being.

Hence, it was called 'Old Eighteen'.

But who knows how many years had passed.

The ancient divine being returned to the hundred divine weapons once again.

"I'm leaving."

"In the future, this world will only have you all."

After saying these words, the ancient divine being disappeared.

After that, time passed swiftly.

The ancient divine being never appeared again.

And the sentience of the hundred divine weapons became increasingly perfect.

Finally, one day, they discovered that the vitality and souls of the human race were of great use to their growth.

So, they began to harvest the human race.

However, later on, the leading tower-shaped divine weapon realized.

At the rate at which they, the hundred divine weapons, devoured the human race, it was estimated that in just a few years, the human race on this land would be extinct.

At that time, all the divine weapons would have no more humans to consume, and their own growth would return to an extremely slow pace.

So, this tower-shaped divine weapon began to restrict the other divine weapons.

This action gained the approval of some divine weapons and caused opposition from others.

In the end, the hundred divine weapons reached an agreement.

They would keep all humans confined to a certain area, and at regular intervals, they would select some to devour.

This was the embryonic form of the later thirty-six nations in the Central Plains.

A thousand or two thousand years passed again.

Some divine weapons discovered that certain weapons devoured more humans than others.

This unequal distribution led to a great battle among the hundred divine weapons.

In that great battle, sixty-four divine weapons were shattered.

The most powerful thirty-six divine weapons enjoyed all the humans.

Inside the underground palace, Lin Yuan slowly opened his eyes.

By browsing through the 'memories' of the Sun and Moon Spear, Lin Yuan gained some understanding of that ancient divine being.

It was evident.

The strength of the ancient divine being was at least at the fourth rank.

It might even be at the peak of the fourth rank.

As for why the ancient divine being traversed mountains and rivers, contested with the heavens and earth, and forcibly created those hundred divine weapons.

Lin Yuan speculated that the ancient divine being should have been attracted by the fundamental essence of this world's rules.

While forging the hundred divine weapons, the ancient divine being was also comprehending many rules within the divine weapons.

Although the ancient divine being's insight couldn't compare to Lin Yuan's, it had the advantage of time.

The ancient era, tens of thousands of years ago, lasted for at least several thousand years.

Such a long period, combined with the ancient divine being's role as the creator of divine weapons, undoubtedly brought significant benefits.

"A true divine weapon."

Thoughts surged, and Lin Yuan's gaze once again fell on the Sun and Moon Spear.

Even though the Sun and Moon Spear was currently suppressed by Lin Yuan and its consciousness was asleep, solely relying on the instinctive resistance of the spear body was enough to shatter hundreds or thousands of Blood-Refining Martial Saints.

Of course, these resistances were negligible for Lin Yuan.

"Sun and Moon."

Lin Yuan reached out, gently caressing the spear body, feeling the textures and rules within it, and countless inspirations burst forth in his mind.

[Your insight is unrivaled, observing and touching the complete essence of the rules in this world, you have made an impact on the rules of the Sun and Moon]

[Your insight is unrivaled, observing and touching the complete essence of the rules in this world, you have made an impact on the rules of the Sun and Moon]

[Your insight is unrivaled, observing and touching the complete essence of the rules in this world, you have made an impact on the rules of the Sun and Moon]

In just a moment, Lin Yuan felt that the path ahead had become much clearer.

"No wonder it's a divine weapon."

Lin Yuan sighed slightly.

Compared to those broken evil weapons, divine weapons provided Lin Yuan with a qualitative transformation.

Especially the essence of the sun and moon contained in the Sun and Moon Spear, which resonated with Lin Yuan's Tao of Tai Chi.

The sun and moon, inherently part of Yin and Yang, comprehending the essence of the sun and moon also had a significant compensatory effect on the Tao of Tai Chi.

"Unfortunately."

"There's only one divine weapon." Lin Yuan looked at the Sun and Moon Spear, but his mind was on the other thirty-five divine weapons.

If all the divine weapons were placed in front of him, allowing him to comprehend freely, wouldn't that be great?

But Lin Yuan also knew that currently, it was just wishful thinking.

As for employing the method used to suppress the Sun and Moon Spear to continue suppressing other divine weapons, it was almost impossible.

The thirty-six divine weapons were interconnected.

Lin Yuan isolated himself from heaven and earth to suppress the Sun and Moon Spear, indeed not alerting the other divine weapons.

However, after the aura of the Sun and Moon Spear completely disappeared, the other divine weapons couldn't sense its presence for a long time.

Certainly, they would become wary.

If Lin Yuan continued to act, not only would he likely gain nothing, but there was also a significant possibility that the other thirty-five divine weapons would wait in ambush.

Never underestimate the sentience of divine weapons; over thousands of years, their wisdom rivaled that of the main world's AIs, if not surpassing ordinary humans by countless measures.

"But one divine weapon is enough."

"The inherent essence of its rules is enough to push me to the fourth rank."

Lin Yuan was content in his heart; being able to successfully suppress the Sun and Moon Spear this time had met his expectations.

After contemplating for a while, Lin Yuan's thoughts shifted, and he put away the Sun and Moon Spear, glancing at the palace's exterior.

At this moment, Sikong Lun was still waiting respectfully, not daring to enter the hall without Lin Yuan's command.

"Come in."

Lin Yuan spoke.

His voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in Sikong Lun's ears.

"Yes."

Sikong Lun took a deep breath and walked into the palace.

"My lord."

"These are evil weapons."

"As per your previous instructions, I've collected evil weapons as much as possible."

Sikong Lun handed over a wooden box, becoming even more reverent.

"Understood."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Now that he had divine weapons in his hands, he naturally looked down on mere evil weapons.

However, even if the evil weapons contained a broken essence of the rules, they still had some utility for Lin Yuan.

"Then, this subordinate will take his leave."

Sikong Lun left the wooden box and was about to withdraw respectfully.

"So many years, you should know who I am by now, right?"

Lin Yuan suddenly said.

Since the time of Sikong Lun's allegiance until now, it had been decades.

Lin Yuan had never revealed his identity to Sikong Lun.

At these words, Sikong Lun's heart trembled.

If, before, he could only guess in his heart, then just now, after seeing Lin Yuan play with the Sun and Moon Spear, which originally belonged to the Great Yan Dynasty, Sikong Lun almost had a ninety percent certainty.

Confirming the identity of the 'lord' he served was none other than the emperor of the Great Yan Dynasty.

Although such speculation was extremely unbelievable, the Emperor of Great Yan was chosen as the 'representative' by the divine weapons and didn't have to worry about being devoured by the divine weapons like ordinary people at any time.

"Greetings, Your Majesty."

Sikong Lun steadied himself and respectfully said.

"Not bad."

Lin Yuan nodded slightly.

Sikong Lun's guess about his identity wasn't difficult.

In recent years, the Anti-God Society often cooperated secretly with the Great Yan Dynasty.

Outsiders were unaware of these matters, and even the royal family and the clan were clueless, but Sikong Lun, the person in charge of the Anti-God Society, had some awareness.

"Next, according to the thoughts of those evil weapons, let's stir up a decisive battle."

Lin Yuan sat cross-legged and said lightly.

To completely resolve the remaining thirty-five divine weapons, they had to lure them all out.

If dealt with one by one, once other divine weapons saw Lin Yuan's true strength, they would inevitably hesitate to show themselves.

And a divine weapon trying to hide, given Lin Yuan's bottom line integrated with the laws of heaven and earth, was something he couldn't deal with.

His plan was to let the Anti-God Society and many evil weapon wielders shake the rule of the Central Plains Thirty-Six Nations, forcing the remaining thirty-five divine weapons to take action.

After all, the Central Plains Thirty-Six Nations were the captive land of the divine weapons. If the Anti-God Society rebelled, those divine weapons would be the first unable to endure.

"Alright."

Sikong Lun nodded.

If it were in the past, he wouldn't hold much hope for such a decisive battle. It might even lead to a 'war disaster' like thousands of years ago.

However, after seeing Lin Yuan handling the 'Sun and Moon Spear' just now, Sikong Lun suddenly harbored a trace of hope in his heart.

"Also."

"Go and find some powerful souls to bring over."

"I will personally train some evil weapon wielders."

Lin Yuan said again.

This time, the evil weapon wielders he was cultivating were top-tier, with at least ninety percent completeness in the evil weapons.

Evil weapons, being fragments of divine weapons from ancient times, couldn't heal themselves independently. This was also the reason why, in eight thousand years, not a single evil weapon had recovered to the state of a complete divine weapon.

However, evil weapons couldn't self-heal, but Lin Yuan could.

With the many evil weapons Lin Yuan currently possessed, he could completely piece together two or three complete divine weapons.

Of course, the combat power of pieced-together divine weapons was far from matching the current thirty-six divine weapons in the world.

After all, those divine weapons, having been harvested and nurtured for eight thousand years, had gained significant strength.

But complete evil weapons could at least sweep all strong individuals beneath divine weapons.

It might even force the remaining thirty-five divine weapons to show themselves.
