Chapter 438 195: The Fourth Law

In the depths of the Starry Sky Ancient City, Feng Miaotian and the others appeared before the meditation chamber of a massive manor villa.

"Isn't he just recovering? Why is it taking so long? It's been three months, and Chen Yu still hasn't come out?"

Before the meditation chamber door, Zhuang Bo and the others stared at the tightly sealed entrance, their brows knitted in concern.

They had originally thought Chen Yu was just restoring his expended Divine Power and would be out in a few days at most. But unexpectedly, a full three months had passed since the battle with the Celestial Race.

Chen Yu still hadn't emerged.

This was definitely not normal.

But the meditation chamber was covered by a protective formation. If they forced their way in while he was unwilling to come out, and he happened to be at a critical juncture, the consequences would be severe.

"His Godhood Ceremony is in just one month. If he doesn't come out soon, are we supposed to have the supremes of the other Alien Races attend an empty event?"

Zhuang Bo's brow was furrowed. Feng Miaotian stared at the chamber door, her own fine brows knitting together as well.

"We'll wait three more days. If he's still not out, we'll break the formation by force," Feng Miaotian said after a moment of thought.

Hearing this, Nie Tian and Zhuang Bo nodded.

If he didn't emerge soon, it was the only course of action they had left.

After all, if he was a no-show, the supremes of the other Alien Races might think something terrible had happened to Chen Yu—something so severe that he couldn't even attend his own Godhood Ceremony.

In that case, it would likely have a major impact on the Human Race's standing in the Stellar Battlefield.

The three of them glanced one last time at the sealed chamber door before turning to leave.

...

At that moment, inside the meditation chamber, Chen Yu sat cross-legged with his eyes tightly shut. The Power of Laws permeated the air around him, Law Divine Patterns glowed upon his skin, and a vast Divine Power filled the room.

In three months, Chen Yu's injuries had long since healed. Not only had he recovered, he had ascended to a new level.

The reason he hadn't left seclusion was that he had sensed an opportunity to comprehend the Speed Law.

Since there was nothing urgent, he had decided to remain in seclusion and comprehend the Speed Law all at once.

Divine Power surged. Three Laws circled his body: the Law of Force, the Life Law, and the Law of Ice!

And aside from these three Laws, the faint shadow of another Law was beginning to emerge.

The fourth Law, the Speed Law!

The silvery-white shadow of the Law flickered, sometimes visible, sometimes not.

Chen Yu's consciousness was immersed in it. A Chaos Oscillation rocked his mind, and a sudden epiphany washed over him.

Instantly, his eyes snapped open. In that very same moment, the once-flickering Law solidified completely.

A vast wave of Divine Power burst through the chamber's protective formation and swept across the entire Starry Sky Ancient City.

In that instant, throughout the Ancient City, countless members of the Human Race sensed it and turned in unison to look toward the city's depths.

The sky above transformed as a brilliant silver light illuminated the entire Ancient City.

Within the silver light, a Law Chain, visible to the naked eye, materialized. Its Law Divine Power blanketed the Ancient City.

At this moment, everyone except the True Gods felt an intense, oppressive pressure.

This was the pressure of a Law!

"Wh-what's going on?"

"The Power of Laws has manifested! My god, what Law is this?"

"Is it the Time Law?"

"Or the Space Law?"

...

The moment the Power of Laws manifested, the once-silent Ancient City was plunged into a commotion.

And at that moment, three figures shot out from the central hall in the city's depths, arriving instantly before the meditation chamber at the Ancient City Manor.

Staring at the Law Chain that shot into the sky, Feng Miaotian and the other two gaped in astonishment.

"That's... the Speed Law!"

Zhuang Bo stammered, dazed.

He was dumbfounded as he stared at the silver Law Chain.

He wasn't the only one; Feng Miaotian and Nie Tian were dumbfounded too.

'He comprehended another new Law!'

'Is... is this guy even human?'

"Chen Yu... Is he... really human?"

Nie Tian's eye twitched as he couldn't resist making a snarky comment.

Even the Great Emperors of old probably weren't this monstrously talented.

"No wonder he was in seclusion for so long. So the guy was comprehending a new Law this whole time."

At this moment, everything became crystal clear to Nie Tian and the others.

'Comprehending a new Law in just three months of seclusion... That kind of talent is just inhuman!'

'Damn it, and I only have three Laws!'

Veins pulsed on Zhuang Bo's forehead, his eyes filled with envy.

'I've been a True God for so long, and I've only just managed to consolidate three Laws. But now, Chen Yu has already consolidated four.'

'And the crucial part is that he did it in such a short amount of time.'

'Damn it all, did the Great Dao of the universe give him a cheat code or something?'

...

'Late-stage Tier One.'

"Not bad. It was worth it." Chen Yu exhaled, and the Law Chains circling his body retracted into him and vanished.

Then, he stood up.

"Congratulations on your breakthrough, Master!" A voice suddenly spoke. It was Sophie, in the form of a metal bracelet on his wrist.

Hearing Sophie speak, Chen Yu's eyes lit up.

"You've completed your Evolution?"

"Yes, Master. Sophie completed her Evolution ten days ago, but you were cultivating, so Sophie did not dare to disturb you."

Sophie's voice replied.

Chen Yu nodded, overjoyed.

'What a double blessing!'

'Not only had he comprehended his fourth Law, but Sophie had also awakened. This meant he now had another True God-level weapon!'

He couldn't unleash the full power of the Celestial Demon Blade, an Innate Emperor's Weapon, but he would have no such problem with Sophie, a True God-level weapon.

To deal with ordinary True Gods of the same rank, Sophie would be more than enough.

Not every being who became a True God possessed a True God-level weapon.

Forging a True God-level weapon required vast quantities of rare resources, and even then, success was not guaranteed.

Sophie's Evolution through absorbing the Star Gold was a fortunate opportunity in itself.

Other True Gods did not have it so easy.

Collecting his thoughts, Chen Yu then stepped out of the meditation chamber.

As soon as he stepped out, Chen Yu saw three figures standing at the entrance, their eyes fixed on him.

Their gazes were a mixture of shock, bewilderment, and envy.

"What's wrong, everyone?" Chen Yu asked, feeling a bit unnerved by their expressions.

Hearing Chen Yu speak, Feng Miaotian and the others finally snapped out of their stupor.

"Chen Yu, you comprehended a fourth Law?" Although he had already seen the proof, Zhuang Bo couldn't help but ask.

Chen Yu nodded. "Yes, I was lucky enough to comprehend it. It's nothing special."

'Lucky enough... Nothing special...'

"..."

Seeing the completely nonchalant expression on Chen Yu's face, the three of them felt their teeth ache with frustration.

'God damn it, he's just asking for a beating.'

If they could, the three of them really would have beaten him up.

'If this is "nothing special," then what is?!'

"It seems your cultivation has broken through as well. Congratulations," Feng Miaotian said, being the first to recover.

Chen Yu smiled faintly. "Compared to you, Lady Feng, I'm still a long way off."

"..."

'How the hell is that the same thing?'

'Feng Miaotian has been a god for hundreds of years, while you've been one for less than a year!'

'If a hundred years were to pass, what terrifying level would he reach?'

"Chen Yu," Feng Miaotian said, looking at him, "since you're out of seclusion, we should head back. The Godhood Ceremony on the Ancestor Star has been prepared, and quite a few supremes from the Alien Races have already arrived."

"How much time is left?" Chen Yu asked.

"Less than a month, and the journey back will also take some time," Feng Miaotian replied.

Chen Yu nodded. "Alright, I'm ready. We can leave whenever."
