Chapter 527: A New Beginning

A rain of golden light poured down from the heavens, covering the entire Celestial Imperial City—and then the whole Earth.

[Earth Reconstruction Progress: 100%]

The shattered void became calm, as smooth as a motionless lake.

The violent storm of laws turned gentle in an instant.

The oppressive darkness that had hung over the sky for a thousand years was torn apart by an invisible giant blade.

However, for the millions of Abyss monsters that had charged onto Earth’s surface and were still roaring wildly, this gentle rain of light became the deadliest poison.

They did not bleed, nor did they suffer any visible wounds.

But the demonic flames around their bodies began to die out at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The Heavenly Demon parasitic laws were completely erased by Earth’s new system of laws, with overwhelming force.

Without those parasitic laws, the Heavenly Demons could no longer find a place for themselves in Earth’s ecosystem.

"Roar..."

A Demon Lord-tier Heavenly Demon let out a desperate growl. Its body began to turn into sand before being scattered by the wind.

This was not death.

Its very existence was being erased by the world.

They could not survive under the laws of the new world. Like fish out of water, they slowly suffocated and faded into nothingness.

It was a more complete end than any kind of power could bring.

Buzz—

At the same time, the Seven Pillars Seal, which had been sealed for countless years, suddenly broke apart.

But the pillars did not disappear. Under the reconstruction of the new laws, they became legitimate channels for Earth’s native emotional laws to express themselves.

They became natural organs of Earth’s law ecosystem.

Pride became the perfect loop of authority within the laws.

Envy became a sensor that connected the emotional strength of all living beings.

Anger became the engine that spread justice.

Greed was rebuilt into the supreme engine for distributing the world’s resources.

Sloth became a control system for self-preservation and recovery.

Lust became an emotional bond that could cross species and connect countless races and ranks.

Gluttony became the ultimate system for digesting all foreign law energy.

And the Wrath that Aiden had just given a true place in the world became the eighth organ, officially registered in this brand-new ecosystem!

At that moment, Earth’s system of laws became completely whole.

On the walls of Celestial Imperial City,

Kelsey slowly opened her eyes. An unprecedented, crystal-clear light shone in them.

The supreme Miko Wraithshard that had tormented her for countless days and nights had finally merged completely with her.

Her primordial affinity was no longer a burden. Instead, it had become a melody that the entire world naturally resonated with.

The whole world was whispering in her ears.

"Earth is saying..."

A tear slipped from the corner of Kelsey’s eye, but a smile appeared on her lips.

"I’m back."

Far away, on a mountaintop...

A solitary figure stood beneath the golden aurora that filled the sky.

Ming quietly watched this miracle. At last, a trace of relief appeared on his cold, unchanging face.

He had guarded this place for five hundred years.

He had endured countless cycles of despair and witnessed the deaths of countless comrades.

And now, his mission was finally complete.

"Thank you," Ming whispered to himself.

He turned around and took one step forward, disappearing into the void.

There was no goodbye and no message, just as he had arrived without making a sound.

In the square of Celestial Imperial City,

the air rippled like water, and Aiden stepped through.

His black hair moved without any wind. A strange light shone in his double pupils, as if they could see through every illusion.

In front of him, Cheryl had been badly injured and was on the verge of death. But under the nourishment of the new law ecosystem, her wounds were now healing at a visible speed.

Her life force, which had nearly run dry, suddenly burst back to life like a volcano.

Aiden walked up to her and slowly held out his hand.

Resting quietly in his palm was the fingernail-sized Wrath Core, glowing with a soft black light.

"Keep this safe for me."

Aiden’s voice was calm and gentle.

Cheryl froze for a moment. She looked at the pure ball of light, which contained not even a trace of impurity, with confusion.

"What is it?"

Aiden smiled faintly. He stood with his hands behind his back, his eyes filled with absolute confidence.

"Evolution."

"And this is something I have never lacked."

Not far away, Bella’s long hair danced in the wind. The Law of Light within her suddenly resonated with the newborn Earth with terrifying power.

The Supreme God bottleneck that had held her back for countless years began to weaken on its own.

A brilliant path to becoming a High Supreme God suddenly opened before her.

A powerful dragon’s roar echoed across the sky.

Faye’s enormous Heaven-Devouring Mystic Dragon body circled through the golden light. Then, accompanied by countless powerful members of the Dragon Clan, she slowly descended.

Under the new laws, the Dragon Clan was no longer made up of foreign "invaders" or "returnees."

They had become part of Earth’s native law-based life.

At that moment, the world recognized the bloodline of the Dragon Clan.

Aiden took a deep breath and walked toward the center of Celestial Imperial City.

With a single thought, he activated a full projection of the Law Garden.

Buzz!

A massive projection that covered the sky instantly spread across the entire Celestial Imperial City.

Everyone looked up at once, too shocked to speak.

The Law Garden had once been nothing more than a rigid diagram made up of dozens of nodes.

But now, every law loop in the projection was connected in real time to Earth’s newly formed law network!

Countless golden threads linked the heavens and the earth. They connected to every single person.

Aiden’s Law Garden had become a miniature reflection of Earth’s law ecosystem within his body.

He was the world.

And the world was him.

At that moment, a system notification suddenly sounded in Aiden’s mind.

It no longer sounded cold or mechanical. Instead, it was calm and simple, as if it had returned to its original state.

[Notice: The system container has been emptied.]

[The system’s name has been changed.]

Aiden focused on the message. The system panel, which had once shone with a sacred light, now displayed only four simple words:

[Support Tool]

The 10,000x Critical Hit System, which had helped him defy fate and create countless miracles, had completely disappeared.

He no longer needed it.

Now that he had merged with the laws of the world and had become the source of evolution itself, critical hits no longer had any meaning.

Aiden looked at the magnificent projection of the Law Garden. A relieved smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Evolution has never been something one person can achieve alone."

...

Golden morning light filled the ruined walls of Celestial Imperial City.

This was not ordinary sunlight. It was made of law particles naturally released by the roots of Earth’s new laws.

They were soft and warm, carrying a faint trace of the Primordial Law. Like freshly turned soil, they were filled with endless life.

Inside Celestial Imperial City, every powerful being above the Divine Rank opened their eyes at that moment.

They sensed something astonishing.

Earth was breathing.

About twelve times a minute, faint but steady waves of law energy moved through the heavens and the earth.

It was like a giant that had slept for ten thousand years finally taking its first steady heartbeat.

Aiden stood at the top of the city wall with his hands behind his back, his black hair blowing gently in the breeze.

Inside Aiden, the Law Garden was spinning rapidly on its own.

In his mind, the panel called [Support Tool] was completely silent. The cold numbers and glaring critical-hit notifications from the past were gone.

Yet Aiden had never felt clearer.

His Law Garden had become a miniature reflection of Earth’s law ecosystem within his body.

Every law cycle moved in sync with Earth’s law network.

He no longer needed percentage readings.

Because he was the master of this new world.

"Aiden."

A clear, ancient voice echoed in his mind from the void.

It was Yves, who had merged with the source of the laws.

"The reorganized ecosystem of Earth is now completely stable."

"The remnants of the Heavenly Demon scattered across the world are naturally disappearing at an astonishing speed under the purification of the new laws."

"Without hosts to possess, they will completely disappear at the law level within three months."

There was a hint of relief in Yves’s voice, but it was still filled with deep seriousness.

"But rebuilding is more important than cleaning up."

"The original Seven Pillars Seal and Wrath have now become Earth’s eight recognized organs. They need new names and new roles."

"And the Abyss Myriad Races that have lost the control of their Heavenly Demon parasites are also waiting for judgment in this new age."

Aiden nodded slightly. A deep light flashed in his double-pupiled eyes.

"I understand."

Half an hour later.

The Main Council Hall of Celestial Imperial City

This was the first full council meeting since Earth had been reorganized.

It was not a military meeting about how to defend against enemies. It was a meeting to establish the new order of the world.

The atmosphere in the hall was solemn, but there was also a sense of relief unlike anything they had felt before.

Cheryl sat beside Aiden. Her right shoulder had once been burned by demonic fire, but under the nourishment of the golden law particles, her skin had become smooth and flawless.

Not even the faintest scar remained.

Bella sat quietly nearby. The Law of Light within her rose and fell like the tide, and her strength had already recovered to forty percent.

A brilliant glow that hinted at a breakthrough past the Supreme God bottleneck flickered around her.

Faye had taken human form. She wore a black dress and carried an arrogant expression.

Under the nourishment of the new laws, all the seriously wounded members of the Dragon Clan were now out of danger.

Aiden looked around the hall. His voice was calm, but it carried unquestionable authority.

"Everyone, a new age has begun. The world needs a new order."

"I will lead the creation of the new order for the Eight Pillars and the Abyss Myriad Races."

"Bella, you will take full responsibility for upgrading and rebuilding the law defenses."

Bella nodded slightly, determination filling her beautiful eyes.

"Leave it to me. I will not let you down."

"Faye, you and the Dragon Clan will serve as Earth’s global security force."

Faye raised her chin proudly. A cold light flashed in her golden dragon eyes.

"Within my territory, not even a single insect will escape."

"Cheryl, you will oversee internal affairs and the rebuilding of our culture."

Cheryl smiled gently, her eyes warm and graceful.

"Of course. Leave it to me."

"Jade, gather all the intelligence networks left behind by the Dawn Society. From this day forward, you will be Earth’s chief intelligence officer."

Jade, dressed in blue and holding a sword, bowed respectfully. Her eyes were as sharp as an eagle’s.

"I accept your command!"

Finally, Aiden’s gaze fell on Kelsey, who had been sitting quietly nearby.

"Kelsey, you have a special mission."
