Nexus Ascension: My Comprehension Defies the Heaven Chapter 537: Law of Infinity, The difference of Divine Law and Normal Law

"How is it going, Kaelith?" After Grey settled his affairs, he paid a visit to the gods.

"It is going well, Lord Grey," Kaelith responded with kindness. "We are all striving to comprehend our Divine Laws with the God Empress and the Divine Primordial Axe."

"Oh." Grey gave a nod. "How does a Divine Law differ from a regular law?"

He was quite intrigued by this specific distinction.

"Divine Laws are those imbued with the aura of divinity and Ascendancy Valor, much like Source Laws."

"The advantage is that ordinary laws and Daos are rendered ineffective in the God World. Regardless of an individual's strength, unless they possess special means such as Ascendancy Valor, they cannot exert their law or Dao authority within that realm."

"Oh." Grey nodded. "Then, what is their impact on the normal world?"

"A Divine Law can effortlessly overpower a normal law. It follows the same stages: Minor Succession, Major Succession, Advanced Succession, and Great Circle. However, the Minor Succession of a Divine Law would be comparable to the Advanced Succession or even the Great Circle of a normal law."

"Is that why it's so difficult to comprehend?" Grey asked, rendered speechless.

"Yes," Kaelith affirmed with a nod. "Even I have only managed to step into the [Divine Law of Life and Death] at the Minor Succession stage."

"But at my current level, I possess authority over an entire universe's cycle of reincarnation, exceeding even the Great Circle Beings who control the law of life and death. I can forcibly retrieve a soul that has passed and bring them back to life."

"Typically, the standard [Law of Life and Death] you've comprehended only operates within your own universe unless you forcefully achieve the Great Circle. Even then, you might only wield potency equivalent to Major Succession in another universe. However, a Divine Law's enforcement is unconditional across all of endless reality."

"Senior Kaelith, what lies beyond the Great Circle of a law?"

"After the Great Circle? Well, subsequently, one must become a ninth-rank transcendental being to transcend it. The ninth rank precisely addresses this concept. You integrate the law into your very being."

"The ninth rank is commonly recognized as the Dao Generation Realm," Kaelith explained with a smile. "You embed the law into your existence, give birth to Dao power, and anchor yourself to the law you command. At that juncture, your law transforms into a Dao. A Dao, at its most basic level, can impose its authority on any universe, akin to a Divine Law. Nevertheless, because it is a Dao, its power can still be diminished in specific higher planes of existence, unlike a Divine Law or a Source Law. Naturally, alternative paths exist to reach the ninth rank. These are the conventional methods everyone employs. The alternative routes are exceptionally arduous yet yield immense rewards. But that is a separate discussion entirely."

"There are such things?" Grey expressed his surprise.

"Indeed." Kaelith nodded. "The Dao is formed from the core, granting it considerable potency."

"However, a Divine Law or its Source Law equivalent will still ultimately prevail."

"Then, what about the [Law of Hongmeng]? What exactly is it?"

"It is a unique law, much like the [Law of Finality]. The boundless expression exclusively granted the authority to comprehend it to Pangu and his descendants. It embodies control over the origin and possesses the command over all other Divine Laws."

"Oh." A look of understanding dawned on Grey's face.

"Then, is there a superior Source Law, similar to how the [Law of Hongmeng] reigns supreme over the Divine Laws?"

"There is." Kaelith confirmed with a nod. "It is the [Law of Infinity]."

"The [Law of Infinity]." Grey's eyes widened in realization.

"Yes," Kaelith reiterated. "The [Law of Infinity] is overseen by Ouroboros, the Infinity Dragon. It is rumored to be an extension of a boundless expression originating from the Ascendancy Domain."

"The Source Beings are not exclusively True Dragons. There are also the True Phoenix, True White Tiger, True Turtle, and True Qilin."

"Uh-huh."

"But these Source Beings... where were they when the Paragons launched their assault? Were they not targeted?"

"The Paragons attacked the gods solely due to the Heavenly Dao and because our primordial god, Pangu, propagated the immortal path. Our gods were rivals to the Paragons' Ascendancy Valor. They did not target the true Source Beings," Kaelith stated, shaking his head. "They remained secure during the siege. The Ouroboros Dragon did attempt to intervene, but ultimately, its efforts were futile. While we may be rivals, we do unite to some extent during a crisis."

"I see." Grey nodded in contemplation. "Thank you for clarifying my questions."

"You are most welcome," Kaelith replied with a gentle smile.

With an enhanced understanding of all things, Grey now set his sights on attempting to comprehend the Divine Laws himself.

His conversation with Kaelith had enlightened him; the [Divine Law of Space], [Divine Law of Time], [Divine Law of Life], and [Divine Law of Death] were merely foundational elements within the God World.

The very same laws existing in the mundane universe, like Gravity and Spirit, were also present here.

Should he manage to grasp even one of these, his strength would immediately surge to match that of a Great Circle expert in this realm.

He felt a particular eagerness to comprehend the [Divine Law of Space] and the [Divine Law of Spirit]. With the fusion of these two powers, he envisioned the ability to reshape reality according to his wildest imaginings.

He could bring fantastical creations to life with a mere gesture.

"This is indeed power equivalent to a Great Circle expert, yet a Divine Law can be wielded without restriction in any universe," Grey mused, a deep emotion coloring his voice.

Noticing Grey's intrigued expression, Kaelith led him towards a colossal, vibrant Divine Crystal. It pulsed with brilliant, almost blinding arcs of energy. Instantly, Grey's innate comprehension flared, and he found himself attuned to the [Divine Law of Lightning].

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the Divine Crystal, your comprehension over the [Divine Law of Lightning] increases by leaps and bounds.]

For a fleeting duration, Grey sank into a profound trance, absorbing the torrent of profound insights flooding his mind.

Mysterious, radiant gateways unfurled within the informational stratum as the pure, crackling essence of divine lightning surged into his consciousness.

Several days later.

[Your comprehension defies the heavens! By observing the Divine Crystal, your comprehension over the [Divine Law of Lightning] has reached Minor Succession.]
