The narrator explains the nature of Law comprehension, detailing how cultivators must attune themselves to the specific Law they wish to understand, often by immersing themselves in environments that resonate with that Law. Different locations, like ancient volcanoes or Law Lands, can greatly influence comprehension. The narrator also touches upon artificial Law Lands created by the imprints of powerful cultivators and the role of teaching and notes in aiding comprehension. Ultimately, while the Law itself is constant, each cultivator's journey and understanding of it is unique.

Anthony’s idea was basically to turn the entirety of the Mirror Dimension into a supermassive Law Land. But not just any ordinary Law Land, rather one where every single place possessed peak resonance with a specific Law while simultaneously maintaining a collective resonance with all the others.

Anthony wanted that merely standing within the woods would make one highly resonant with the Law of Wood, while simply stepping outside one’s house would immediately place them in resonance with the Law of Wind.

Anthony wanted every single thing to amplify Law comprehension and Law resonance. If anyone heard what Anthony was thinking, they would simply sneer at him. After all, what he envisioned was almost no different from making Laws nearly ambient throughout the entire dimension.

Anthony couldn’t help but smirk at his own idea, but could he really pull it off? He was about to create something that even ordinary Law Lands couldn’t be compared to. If he succeeded, even pigs would probably be able to comprehend Laws. After all, how could one possibly fail to comprehend something if it was practically being shoved down their throat every second they remained within the Mirror Dimension?

Still, he decided to wait until he had completely finished upgrading the Mirror Dimension before attempting such an absurd undertaking.

Almost an hour passed before Anthony was finally done strengthening and improving the entire Mirror Dimension. At this moment, everything within it could now match the durability of objects found throughout the Upper Galaxy. More importantly, he could no longer be sensed whenever he stepped inside. Even if someone somehow managed to perceive his presence, he could simply escape into the Divine Realm without difficulty.

’Speaking of the Divine Realm, I haven’t checked it out since my ascension,’ Anthony thought to himself as he suddenly remembered the Divine Realm. ’At this moment, it’s supposed to be filled with potent Origin Essence. I’ll check it out later once I’m done with the Mirror Dimension.’

Anthony’s thoughts couldn’t help but drift once again. His mind suddenly questioned itself.

What would happen if someone possessed a Law or an ability capable of freezing thoughts? Wouldn’t that render the Thought Conception completely obsolete?

After all, without thought, the Thought Conception was no different from being useless.

’I should stop overthinking things. If I encounter such an opponent, I’ll deal with it when the time comes,’ Anthony concluded. ’Right now, I should focus on my next task at hand.’

With that, his Thought Conception activated once more as various Laws began manifesting around him while he prepared to carry out the plan he had devised. However, before he could even begin imprinting anything into reality, his knees suddenly buckled beneath him. Anthony immediately collapsed to the ground as he vomited a large mouthful of blood. Blood streamed from his eyes, ears, and mouth once again, staining the ground beneath him crimson.

He had failed.

Even with his improved mental capacity.

Anthony couldn’t help but smile bitterly. Within the span of only a couple of hours, he had bled and coughed up more blood than he ever had throughout his entire twenty years at the Acarnis Lower Galaxy.

’This Thought Conception ability might actually be the end of me,’ Anthony mused to himself. ’But at least I got some feedback. I need to possess Concepts before I can even think about performing such an act again... or better yet, I simply need a much stronger mental capacity before attempting to create something on this scale.’

But alas, he had already spent all his points for the month purchasing the potion that increased his mental capacity to an unquantified ceiling.

Anthony’s regeneration had already begun taking effect. The blood staining his face gradually disappeared while the unnatural paleness of his skin slowly returned to its healthy complexion. He calmly rose from the ground, dusted off his knees, and chose to put the entire matter aside until he possessed sufficient strength to attempt it once again.

’Since I’ve improved the Mirror Dimension, should I change its name?’ Anthony wondered as he stroked his nonexistent beard.

’Nah, let’s leave it as Mirror Dimension. The readers already know it as Mirror Dimension. If I change its name, even the Author might forget, confusing the readers in the process,’ Anthony concluded as he ultimately decided against renaming it.

What Anthony didn’t say aloud, however, was that he simply couldn’t come up with a better name. Mirror Dimension just sounded too perfect.

’Should I create life? Let it flourish here, then allow an entire civilization to form. Maybe every once in a while I could play god with them or something,’ Anthony mused to himself. The idea was admittedly far too tempting.

He possessed more than enough power to create life if he truly wished to. However, after giving it some thought, he decided to abandon the idea. How was that any different from the pigeon god from the Divinora Galaxy? Besides, he was simply too lazy to maintain some grand divine persona every single time he interacted with them.

’Well... that’s a wrap. Time to head to the Divine Realm,’ Anthony thought to himself as he gazed around the Mirror Dimension one final time. He nodded at his creation in satisfaction before vanishing from where he stood, willing himself directly into the Divine Realm.

The very moment Anthony appeared, it struck him.

Law resonance.

There were simply too many resonances to count.

His eyes widened in astonishment for a brief moment.

This was exactly what he had been trying to create.

Yet the Divine Realm already possessed it naturally.

Floating high above the clouds, Anthony slowly closed his eyes and took a deep breath. He could clearly perceive the Laws of Wind, Space, Freedom, Clouds, and countless others resonating with him as he remained suspended peacefully in the sky. Unlike ordinary places, every breath he took seemed to bring him into greater harmony with the surrounding Laws, making comprehension feel almost instinctive.

After a few moments, Anthony slowly opened his eyes before descending gracefully through the clouds, his feet gently touching the earth below.

Everything was almost exactly as he remembered. Yet there were undeniable differences. Mana had completely vanished, in its place flowed pure Origin Essence Energy, saturating every inch of the Divine Realm with astonishing richness. The very atmosphere felt heavier, purer, and infinitely more vibrant than before.

Anthony leisurely walked around for a while. His house was still standing exactly where it had always been.

Vega’s house remained untouched, the homes belonging to his subordinates were also exactly as he remembered them.

Anthony eventually stopped before a particular tree after noticing a strange fruit quietly humming with the resonance of various Laws.

’System, details,’ Anthony immediately instructed the OP System.

[Law Fruit: Eating a Law Fruit grants one complete comprehension of a random Law the eater has not yet comprehended.

Note: One can only eat a single Law Fruit throughout their entire life, even if they reincarnate a billion times.]

Anthony quietly stared at the fruit for a few moments.

Then he simply nodded before continuing on his way without the slightest change in expression. He had just walked past a fruit that practically everyone throughout the Ecliptica Galaxy would slaughter countless others to obtain, yet he treated it no differently than some ordinary roadside cabbage.

After exploring the Divine Realm for a while longer, Anthony merely nodded to himself before disappearing from the Divine Realm and returning to his cottage.

Although the Divine Realm already possessed the exact features he had hoped to add to the Mirror Dimension, it still wouldn’t stop him from transforming the Mirror Dimension into a true Law Dimension.

As for the Divine Realm’s Time Dilation, it remained exactly the same as before.
