Chapter 184: Identity and Special

"I never thought it would take four hours to refill my mana."

Tyler slowly got to his feet as he muttered. Although he said it was recovering his mana, he was mostly waiting for the spiritual energy.

Refining mana almost took no time.

"Brother, I really want to fight together with you."

Kirito couldn’t help but grumble.

Tyler chuckled as he patted Kirito on his head, coating his palm with void mana.

"Didn’t you already do that before?"

Kirito remembered the incident Tyler was talking about and shook his head.

"I wasn’t fighting. I was only responsible for transferring decay mana."

Tyler slapped him on the forehead.

"That’s called helping. Without your decay mana, I wouldn’t be able to kill them so easily and so quickly."

"Everyone has their own purpose. If I let you get involved in a battle like this, I wouldn’t even have your ashes to scatter after the battle."

Only the person participating in the battle could feel the danger.

The Blood Law wasn’t excessively dangerous like Decay Law, but it was uniquely powerful through its poison attribute and strength attribute.

Tyler was using Power of Yang Law combined with Power Law to fight against the Blood God on equal grounds.

Of course, Blood God was also using Power Law and Blood Law, but there was one big problem.

Most of Tyler’s strength came from his swordsmanship; otherwise, he wouldn’t be able to compete since his comprehension of Yang Law wasn’t as strong as the Blood Law.

The Law was the manifestation of the natural and extraordinary order of the universe.

The Law constitutes the universe as it is. The cultivators comprehend the existence of the universe by understanding those laws.

This understanding was divided into nine levels.

The Law Creation Realm generally deals with the First level. At this level, one had a certain level of understanding of a certain Law.

That meant a cultivator could directly utilize the spiritual energy in the air to use the power of a certain Law.

This power was amazing, but reaching this level was extremely difficult.

For example, Tyler comprehended the Law of Yang. This was the ultimate law of life force and vitality, light and heat, strength and endurance.

But there was also the Law of Light. Tyler being able to comprehend the Law of Yang allowed him to master the Law of Light.

Even so, Tyler couldn’t utilize the spiritual energy in the air directly.

On the other hand, the Blood God could not only utilize the Law of Blood but also the Law of Ice using spiritual energy.

This was the difference between comprehending the first level of Law and not comprehending it.

Tyler’s advantage was that he comprehended the Law of Yang, the Supreme Law.

There were only eight Supreme Laws in the world.

Creation, Destruction, Yang, Yin, Space, Time, Destiny, and Karma.

Even though the Power Law was extremely broken, it wasn’t considered the Supreme Law.

This distinction was made by different races in the universe. Since they couldn’t use Power Law, why would they include it?

On the other hand, even if Creation, Destiny, and Time were the hardest Laws to comprehend, they were still able to comprehend them.

The same was true for the Law of Void or Law of Emptiness, and the Law of Desolation.

These three Laws fell outside the boundaries of the universe, making them impossible to comprehend by people of the universe.

Tyler’s advantage came from the fact that he comprehended Yin and Yang Law.

This allowed him to use the crystallized armor.

It was formed from his comprehension of Yin Law, allowing him to change the structure of the mana or anything formed from mana.

More importantly, Tyler was physically as strong as a Grandmaster, allowing him to put the clone of the Blood God on equal ground.

"Tyler, I have a feeling that the Blood God is plotting something huge."

Xue’s voice rang in his mind.

"Of course, he is."

Tyler replied using his spiritual sense, pausing for a moment before he continued.

"The idea of using the clone means he doesn’t have to fear the Heaven obstructing him."

"Although massacring a lot of people would still cause others to attack him, it won’t be Heaven."

"With his Power Law, as long as he is given enough time, he can easily conquer a planet."

"If I am not wrong, his plan is to weaken the natural barriers of the universe. Do you think something like this is possible?"

Hearing his idea, Xue immediately replied.

"Yes! The barriers outside the universe aren’t formed naturally. The universe is actually expanding, but then why does it have barriers?"

"Wouldn’t that be contradicting? Many people would think so, but that’s not the case."

"The expanding matter and energy are absorbed by the barrier and transformed into spiritual energy."

"Those barriers themselves are the Artificial Spirit Veins created by the Spirit of the Universe."

Hearing that, Tyler interrupted.

"Spirit? Is that the same as Heaven?"

"No! Heaven is the collective Will of the people. Spirit is the natural-born soul. The Birth of the Spirit predates Heaven."

"In fact, there has been only one Spirit but ten different Heavens. Of course, Spirit is also essential for creating Heaven."

Xue replied and continued.

"As I said, those artificial spirit veins form barriers. That means if someone destroys those spirit veins, it is possible to weaken the barrier around the universe."

Tyler’s eyes flashed with a glint for a split second before he calmly asked.

"Wait, you mean to say those artificial spirit veins can be destroyed? Is it like destroying the land or the actual spirit veins?"

"Cause if I am not wrong, the Spirit Veins can’t be destroyed. Even if they are, they will naturally condense somewhere else, right?"

Xue didn’t notice anything wrong with his question and answered.

"Yes, but there are ways to permanently destroy these spirit veins. Of course, nobody is stupid enough to do this."

"So, if the Blood God plans to destroy the Spirit Vein from inside, then we have to stop him."

"Those Artificial Spirit Veins work as a natural barrier, but once they are destroyed, not only will the universe lose a lot of spiritual energy, but it will be invaded."

Hearing that, Tyler asked.

"So, those Spirit Veins are the reason why the God Realm has Divine Energy? After all, Divine Energy is a more concentrated and purer form of spiritual energy, right?"

"Is this the time to talk about that? Shouldn’t we think of a way to stop his plot? Do you want to let Jenny out of the Tower and finish those clones?"

Although Tyler couldn’t see it, he was pretty sure his teacher was rolling her eyes.

Tyler rejected the idea immediately.

"No!"

"Huh?"

Xue couldn’t help but feel stunned. She paused and asked.

"Is it because she could be pregnant?"

Tyler replied.

"No! I don’t want to stop his invasion."

"Are you crazy, Tyler?"

Xue couldn’t help but feel speechless.

"You were fighting so hard when I asked you to run, but now I am asking you to save the universe; you are rejecting me?"

"Do you just want to contradict me?"

"Teacher! I am also a cultivator."

Tyler replied without any hesitation.

"I am also a greedy and selfish cultivator. I am not keen on saving people that are out of my reach. More importantly, this invasion will help me solve my problem."

Hearing that, Xue was speechless. She chose not to hear his first sentences and only focused on his last.

"What problem?"

"From the beginning, I said I want peace. But peace can only arrive when people learn to work together."

"Considering the nature of the cultivators, working together seems impossible. So, this invasion is the perfect way to bring them together."

"I just have to get stronger and defeat the Blood God."

"You are crazy."

Xue screamed.

"You want to put the entire universe at risk for such a stupid thing? Even if those people come together, what can they do?"

"Do you think they can save the universe? No, they will just be your burden."

Hearing that, Tyler chuckled.

"That’s why people like Hevn and me exist. We are here so that we can protect those people."

"After all, if ordinary people can defeat special beings, would they still be ordinary?"

Tyler shook his head.

He couldn’t help but remember those novels he used to read when he was on Earth.

He didn’t remember much before, but as his cultivation improved, he was remembering more and more things.

He still remembered how he sternly believed that if he wanted to be powerful, he had to be special but only the main characters could be special.

That’s why he always believed he was the main character, trying to convince himself that his awakening would result in a low-rank technique.

Being a hero or villain was just a matter of identity.

If he wanted to succeed in life, he had to be special.

Because only special people get special treatment and powers.

As for whether they would do something good with this power, it represents their identity.

Tyler didn’t care about being a hero or villain. He just wanted to be special and face the world.
