Chapter 1233: Seed of Law

Empyrean Oceanheart had no idea that, besides being a first-generation Soul Master, Vaan was a bona fide Nihility User. Other Soul Masters wouldn’t be able to show her the way, but he definitely could.

"Are you being serious, Sir Vaan?"

Empyrean Oceanheart asked, staring at Vaan sternly with great focus, as if she were trying to discover any signs of falsehood on his face.

However, his genuine calmness caused her heart to tremble. Clearly, he was neither lying nor joking.

But how was that possible?

She had never heard of Soul Masters being able to help others comprehend the Nihility Law. As for true Nihility Users, they were so rare that it almost seemed like they had gone extinct.

After all, if Nihility Users didn’t fall prematurely, they were fated for Beyond True Divinity.

Such was the legend regarding the Nihility Law and why all Empyrean Gods dreamed of comprehending it.

Unfortunately, besides the Lord of Chaos and the Lord of the Boundless Seas and Skies, Empyrean Oceanheart had never heard of anyone stepping into such a mythical realm.

That showed its extreme difficulty.

Yet, Vaan claimed he could give her the opportunity to comprehend the Nihility Law?

Although Empyrean Oceanheart believed Vaan was telling the truth, she still had her doubts and confusion. She was unable to make sense of this contradiction.

"I think it’s better to show you. Pardon my offense, Empyrean Oceanheart."

Suddenly, Vaan stepped forward, hand raised, and with two joined fingers, tapped them against Empyrean Oceanheart’s smooth forehead.

In that instant, a surge of Soul Power was transmitted into her very soul, carrying complex information and insight related to the Nihility Law.

However, they weren’t limited to visual data; they also encompassed precise feelings, as if Empyrean Oceanheart had personally experienced enlightenment and comprehended the Nihility Law in the past.

Empyrean Oceanheart instantly realized this transmission of knowledge was beyond ordinary.

After all, it was normally impossible to impart one’s comprehension of law onto another. Comprehending the law was something that relied on one’s own efforts, talent, and opportunity.

It wasn’t supposed to be granted by others like this.

Even if it were achieved, one’s personal cultivation into that law would have become flawed or limited.

However, Empyrean Oceanheart did not seem to notice any of these defects.

Vaan had perfectly imparted his comprehension of the Nihility Law to her. This flawless comprehension of the law, which could be passed on to others, was also known as the Seed of Law.

It was also something that had only ever been mentioned in some ancient records.

However, today, Empyrean Oceanheart had personally experienced it. Her heart and soul were rocked by waves of shock and disbelief. She stood rooted on the spot, seemingly paralyzed, stunned, and dazed.

Unexpectedly, the Nihility Law was so simple and straightforward. Yet, it was also this simplicity and straightforwardness that made it seemingly so out of reach for most beings in Chaos.

’I understand now. So, that’s how it is.’

Empyrean Oceanheart’s eyes shimmered with enlightenment as Vaan’s Seed of Law released gentle streams of law comprehension that seamlessly integrated with her soul.

At the same time, her comprehension of Nihility Law increased at a rate she didn’t think was possible.

Although Empyrean Oceanheart had many questions she wanted to ask, she could only put them aside and focus on her enlightenment, treasuring the opportunity he had bestowed.

This was a priceless gift that couldn’t be measured in any quantity of wealth.

Empyrean Oceanheart instantly knew she could never repay this immense favor. No matter how much she gave back to him, it would never come close to the value of this opportunity.

Also, upon receiving this priceless gift, she came to many realizations.

For example, she realized Vaan was a genuine Nihility User, not just a Soul Master. Moreover, he was an extraordinary Soul Master, even among Soul Masters. Other Soul Masters wouldn’t have such perfect control of Soul Power.

It was the combination of these two strengths that allowed him to create a flawless Seed of Law that could be imparted to others without any crippling repercussions.

However, even if Vaan did imparted her an imperfect Seed of Law, Empyrean Oceanheart would have still gladly accepted it.

After all, this wasn’t just any Seed of Law; it was the Seed of Nihility Law!

By receiving this, the impossible path to Beyond True Divinity was opened! Even if she was inept and failed to step into that mighty realm, she could still become a peerless Empyrean!

She had been stuck at the early stage of Empyrean God for so long!

However, once she fully digested the Seed of Nihility Law, she would no longer have any bottlenecks before the Beyond True Divinity Realm!

Vaan quietly stepped back as he watched Empyrean Oceanheart enter an impressive state of enlightenment.

Most states of enlightenment would exude a feeling of holiness, purity, or even profound majesty.

However, Empyrean Oceanheart’s state of enlightenment didn’t exude any of that feeling.

On the contrary, her presence was fading, as if her very existence was disappearing from the world.

This was the unique trait of the Nihility Law.

"What’s happening to my Great-grandmother, Sir Vaan?" Seraphina quietly asked with doubt, failing to recognize Empyrean Oceanheart’s unfamiliar state of enlightenment.

"She is comprehending a very powerful law." Vaan smiled.

"Comprehending a very powerful law?" Everyone’s expression stiffened with concern when they heard this statement.

After all, comprehending laws was very time-consuming, often requiring extremely long periods to make substantial progress.

Since Empyrean Oceanheart was comprehending a law, who was going to control the Azure Wanderer?

Were they going to stay in this particular void region until she completed her comprehension of the law?

Divine Lord Vaelith and the others did not realize that, under Empyrean Oceanheart’s current state of enlightenment, the time required to comprehend the law was significantly reduced.

However, even Vaan did not know how long this significantly reduced time would last.

’Surely, it wouldn’t take that long, would it?’ Vaan hesitated, wondering if he had chosen a terrible time to offer Empyrean Oceanheart this priceless opportunity.
