"You're alright. You don't feel anything inside the sealed divine source. You're just worried that you might miss the time to achieve enlightenment."

The second newcomer sighed:

"As for me... damn it, I was imprisoned for millions of years in such a godforsaken place, and all the people I met were big shots. It was only recently that I managed to escape. Otherwise, I would have been stuck in that prison for hundreds of millions of years to come."

[Covering the Sky] Cao Ya said irritably:

"At least you got out, but I'm still inside the Divine Source. I don't know when I'll be cut open and freed from this state of neither life nor death."

Both newcomers felt they were having a very tough time.

Compared to them, Cao Ya from "Immortal Gourd" and Cao Ya from "The Legend of the Shepherd God" are not so unbalanced.

[Mysterious Resurrection] Cao Ya flipped through the newcomer's memories, waved his hand, and said:

"Stop arguing, I'm telling you, do we have to argue about this? We're all miserable, okay?"

The two newlyweds looked at each other, then smiled wryly. Yeah, what's the point of arguing about this? It's not like it's anything good.

"【Panlong】Cao Ya, you are the oldest among us, having lived for millions of years." 【Lord of Mysteries】Cao Ya exclaimed in amazement. 【Panlong】Cao Ya was the second unfortunate newcomer to share his memories. He casually flipped through them without even looking at them carefully, as there were simply too many.

Millions of years! That vast ocean of memories—if they weren't all the same person, and if they didn't have the system space to help them, they would probably have been lost in confusion on the spot, lost in the depths of that ocean of memories.

The second newcomer comes from the Panlong universe.

"This power of law is also quite good. It has many similarities with the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth in my world, but it is more comprehensive," Cao Ya of [Nine Cauldrons Chronicle] compared.

“That’s for sure. Panlong is a universe, while Jiudingji is just a world. How can they be compared?” Cao Ya, the Pirate King, nodded.

[Panlong] The universe has existed for more than a thousand cycles, and each cycle is sixty quadrillion years.

That was an infinitely long period of time; Cao Ya's lifespan of only a few million years was not even a fraction of a single era.

It only seems like there are more of them compared to the other Cao Ya.

Moreover, the Panlong universe is a subordinate universe, all created by Hongmeng.

However, even within the subsidiary universe, the Panlong universe has a great many powerful individuals.

The four supreme planes, the seven divine planes, and countless material planes have produced countless powerful beings over the years, such as Great Perfection Upper Gods, Asuras, and Seven Star Demons. On the contrary, the main gods must be refined into main godhood in order to achieve this, so they are limited and have remained unchanged throughout history.

"A mid-level god...heh, you're a mid-level god, I'm afraid even a regular high-level god wouldn't be a match for you." Cao Ya from [Naruto] chuckled.

[Panlong] Cao Ya also smiled.

In the Panlong universe, cultivation levels are divided into nine levels: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, Level 4, Level 5, Level 6, Level 7, Level 8, and Level 9. Within these levels, there are also mages and warriors. One type cultivates meditation to improve mental strength and control magic, while the other type cultivates the Battle Qi Manual to improve battle qi and use battle techniques.

However, in the Holy Domain after level nine, the difference between mages and warriors becomes very small.

Above the Holy Realm are the gods, divided into lower gods, middle gods, and upper gods. All of them must comprehend the profound mysteries of the laws, so there is no longer a distinction between magicians and warriors.

【Panlong】The universe has seven elemental laws: earth, fire, water, wind, light, darkness, and lightning, and four major rules: destruction, fate, death, and life.

Beneath each law and rule lies a different profound mystery, which ultimately forms a complete set of laws and rules.

Becoming a god requires comprehending the profound mysteries of the laws, and then gradually improving. A Great Perfection Upper God is one who has fully comprehended and completely integrated the profound mysteries of a system of laws.

That is improvement purely through one's own understanding, without relying on any external aids.

Above the god level, there are chief gods who cannot cultivate and improve themselves; they can only refine the chief godheads generated by heaven and earth.

The supreme god above the main god is a manifestation of rules, who only knows how to follow the rules and has no feelings for living beings.

"With your cultivation level... you've comprehended so many profound laws, including the Dark Law, the Wind Law, the Water Law, and so on... Hmm, you should be considered at the peak of the three-star level? Or perhaps just entering the four-star level?" Cao Ya from [Primordial Era] pondered.

"Well, his cultivation level isn't quite there yet, he's still within the three-star level, but as for combat strength... he should be around the beginner level of the four-star level." [Panlong] Cao Ya thought for a moment and replied.

According to the system space division, the Panlong universe is divided into four levels: Level 1, Level 2, Level 3, and Level 4, which belong to the one-star level; and Level 5, Level 6, Level 7, Level 8, and Level 9, which belong to the two-star level.

Saints, lower-level gods, and middle-level gods are three-star level.

High-ranking gods and Great Perfection High-ranking gods are both four-star.

The main god is five-star, the supreme god is six-star, and the ultimate controller of the primordial chaos is seven-star.

【Panlong】Cao Ya is a mid-level god of the three elements: darkness, wind, and water. He has comprehended many profound laws and begun to integrate them, making his combat power far exceed his apparent level.

"I remember that the Dark and Water elements each have six profound mysteries, while the Wind element has nine. To fully comprehend one profound mystery of a law is to become a Lower God; to fully comprehend two profound mysteries of a law—three for the Wind element—is to become a Middle God; and to thoroughly comprehend all the profound mysteries of a law is to become a Higher God." Cao Ya from [Global Martial Arts] exclaimed in amazement. This cultivation system has extremely high requirements and is divided into very detailed categories.

For ordinary creatures, you really can only rely on time to accumulate them.

Because it relies entirely on comprehension and depends on one's understanding, time cannot be simply accumulated. When you encounter a bottleneck, you either understand it or you don't. Even if you spend a hundred million or a trillion years, you still won't be able to understand it.

What I've just mentioned is only about thoroughly understanding the profound mysteries of the laws. In addition, one must also integrate the profound mysteries of the laws that one has understood.

For example, a lower-level wind god who wants to advance to a middle-level god can not only comprehend the profound mysteries of the three laws, but also fuse the profound mysteries of the two laws. Both are ways for a wind god to advance to a middle-level god.

Of course, to become a high god, one must fully comprehend all the mysteries of the laws.

A Great Perfection Supreme God is one who has thoroughly comprehended and integrated all the profound mysteries of the laws.

Otherwise, how could it be called the Great Perfection?

"You haven't wasted those millions of years," Cao Ya of the [Immortal Gourd] said with a smile, full of praise.

"Otherwise, what can you do in that prison?" Cao Ya from Panlong shrugged.

[Panlong] Cao Ya is a mid-level god of the three elements. He has not yet fully comprehended all the profound mysteries of the laws of darkness, wind, and water. He is not yet a high-level god, but he has already begun to integrate them. In particular, he has fully comprehended and integrated the three laws of water. He is also comprehending and integrating the remaining three laws.

With the accumulation of the three systems, Cao Ya of Panlong, although his realm is three-star high level, his combat power is about four-star low level!

"Once you reach Hell, you'll probably become a five-star demon, or... a six-star demon?" Cao Ya from [Perfect World] pondered.

“A five-star demon is definitely no problem, as for a six-star demon…” Cao Ya of Panlong pondered and said, “It should be possible, but there’s no hope for a seven-star demon at all. As for a prefecture lord, an Asura, etc., they are far from being able to do it.”

"Four-star beginner level, in the system space classification, it seems to be four-star demon, five-star demon, six-star demon?"
