Grey interrupts his plans to enter the Creator Space when Alissa calls him, finding her in distress as the Myriad Law of Chaos surges unstably within her. Grey uses his own chaotic law power to stabilize her, though it causes an embarrassing reaction from Alissa. He reveals the law is rejecting her body and currently cannot be mastered, but Alissa is determined to find a way. Grey promises to find a solution for her while Alissa struggles with her developing feelings for him, a complication that caused her law deviation. Afterwards, Grey heads to the Creator Space to focus on converting his fighting spirit into a primordial spirit, contemplating how to manage the metamorphosis energy needed for both axiom power and the spirit.

Harnessing Axiom power presented a highly practical strategy for initiating the transformation into a primordial spirit.

After surpassing the sixth rank, his paramount objective was to ensure his entire cultivation foundation was built solely upon Axiom power. This immense energy held the capability to dominate even ascendancy power, possessing the potential to redefine the very nature of evolution indefinitely.

Merely contemplating the potential outcomes sent a jolt of excitement through him. However, enthusiasm alone wouldn't suffice; he promptly withdrew to the Creator Space to commence his experiments. Given that the fighting spirit emerged directly from willpower—a force potent enough to significantly reshape reality—Axiom power naturally acted as a remarkably suitable catalyst when combined with one's resolute will.

The reality-bending capacity of Axiom power was undeniable, as evidenced by the ease with which he had neutralized Shroud Heaven's ascendancy power. It truly represented the zenith of all energies.

Grey initiated the ascension sequence within his simulation clone once more. The instant the metamorphosis energy materialized, the soul and frequency fused flawlessly. A distinct ring of soundwaves pulsed outward from the clone. Swiftly thereafter, an abstract, fluid luminescence flickered into being as Axiom power coalesced and surged violently into the construct.

Boom!

In the subsequent moment, it detonated spectacularly, scattering into a cascade of raw data.

"The fighting spirit disintegrated?" Grey muttered, astonished.

He had instructed the clone to forcibly channel all its available might directly into the fighting spirit. Perhaps the sheer volume of the influx was the primary issue. Grey adjusted the simulation parameters, this time modulating the flow of Axiom power, guiding it to integrate gently and harmoniously.

Then, a critical insight dawned upon him.

"Hold on. The law of spirit forms the fundamental bedrock of a fighting spirit. If a path strider hasn't grasped it, how can they possibly manifest a primordial spirit in the first place?" Grey halted his simulation.

He had nearly overlooked that conspicuous requirement. For ordinary cultivators, comprehending the law of spirit was considerably more challenging than it sounded.

Before making any hasty judgments, he resolved to thoroughly validate his newly refined hypothesis. He meticulously fused the Axiom power and the law of spirit into the clone's fighting spirit. In the next instant, a resonating soundwave ring materialized around it, establishing a direct connection to the clone's transcended origin.

The newly formed primordial spirit descended deep into the origin, merging perfectly with it and settling serenely at the core of the six dormant evolutionary sparks.

Unexpectedly, he witnessed a profound transformation. The primordial spirit emanated a calming aura that continuously washed over the six sparks.

Following a comprehensive system analysis, Grey fully grasped the unfolding events.

"It passively enhances the efficiency of spark generation and stabilization," Grey noted with pleased surprise.

The primordial spirit represented one's pure essence, serving as a secondary life force should the primary body perish. Yet, he was now observing its remarkable effectiveness in cultivation.

"The stabilization effect has improved by a minimum of three hundred percent compared to the initial baseline levels." Grey expressed great contentment with the impeccable outcomes.

Integrating the law of spirit was unequivocally the correct course of action.

Now arose the most crucial undertaking: embedding the power of spirit in such a way that every individual following his distinctive evolutionary trajectory could successfully forge their own primordial spirit.

"It's too late to fundamentally alter the early phases of the path now. However, I can engineer it so that every strider automatically cultivates a fighting spirit utilizing a synthesized law of spirit. Consequently, the moment they attempt to break through to the sixth rank, it will seamlessly evolve into the primordial spirit."

For this significant endeavor, he already knew precisely whom to contact.

He retrieved the smooth, luminous Nine-Colored Soul Nourishing Jade he had acquired in the misty realm.

"Hello, are you there?" He gently infused his frequency power into the jade. Presently, a respectful voice resonated within his mind.

"How may I assist you, Perfect One? I am deeply honored to be of service."

"I require the direct assistance of the law of spirit to systematically empower my evolutionary path. Can you facilitate this?" He swiftly briefed the World Tree on the intricate details of his scheme.

"Certainly, no problem at all," the tree responded with enthusiasm. "I can readily arrange that."

"Then, please commence."

Grey firmly anchored himself within the Creator Space, and moments later, an immense, ancient power imbued with the World Tree's pure essence descended.

"I've also incorporated a small automated reward," the World Tree stated. "Upon successfully forming a primordial spirit through your method, individuals will automatically gain minor comprehension in the law of spirit, making it significantly easier for them to manage their new state."

"Incredible..." Grey breathed, genuinely taken aback.

He wondered why, out of all the ancient entities he had encountered, the World Tree was by far the most benevolent. A sense of conflicting gratitude washed over him. It continuously bestowed him with immensely valuable gifts, such as the Soul Nourishing Jade, advancing his law cultivation to advanced succession within the bamboo forest, and now directly enhancing his evolutionary path.

Nevertheless, it was undeniably a great help.

"Thank you, World Tree."

With this significant upgrade secured, he no longer had to fret about his path striders lacking fundamental law comprehension.

"The sixth rank represents a substantial qualitative leap," Grey affirmed.

He promptly finalized the system's update to his path. Now, even a mere second-ranker could awaken a rudimentary fighting spirit, which would steadily grow in power until it fully blossomed into a true primordial spirit at the sixth rank.

Content with the smooth, refined outcome, he withdrew from the Creator Space.

Shortly after, Alan Benson sought him out, keen on accessing the information layer.

"Very well. I believe the time has come for you to access the information layer," Grey said with a smile. "Data energy serves as the key for you, and you easily possess the mental capacity to handle it."

As he spoke, his profound mind began to construct an entirely new technique. When activated, it would generate data energy, the essential power needed to effortlessly penetrate the information layer. He also meticulously integrated a security measure, enabling the user to firmly anchor their consciousness within the layer, thereby preventing disorientation.

He christened it the Information Layer Transcendence Technique – a precise methodology devised for traversing into the realm of boundless knowledge.

However, before relinquishing it, Grey issued a stern admonition: "This technique must never fall into anyone else's hands. Understood?"

"Yes. I am prepared to perish to safeguard this technique!" Alan declared with deep sincerity, eagerly accepting the small, luminous mind crystal Grey had just synthesized.

Mind crystals are specialized data storage devices capable of directly transmitting complex information into the recipient's mind. Utilizing his reality-bending abilities, crafting a pristine, faultless crystal was a simple task.

Following the internal patterns delineated within the technique, Alan soon succeeded in generating pure data energy.

Ostensibly, it functioned much like a standard breathing exercise. Yet, given Alan's nature as an energy being, Grey had designed the technique to completely bypass conventional biological respiration. Instead, energy beings merely adjust their internal energy flow, perfectly mirroring the respiration cycle using pure energy.
