In Beirut's divine consciousness, he heard Cao Ya's words spoken in the banquet hall of Dragonblood Castle.
When Lin Lei, Olivia, and a group of others humbly asked for his advice, Cao Ya replied with a smile:
"I have cultivated for millions of years and have some views on the world."
The crowd fell silent, listening to Mr. Tanger's story.
Even if this knowledge doesn't move you, it's still good if it broadens your horizons.
Beirut didn't care at first. At most, Dunge was just a mid-level god, comparable to a six-star demon. Even if he had become a main god ten thousand years ago, he was still an Asura, and his combat power was almost comparable to a Great Perfection.
But as Cao Ya was speaking, Beirut suddenly froze.
"Within the universe, there are seven laws and four rules. I haven't cultivated the four rules, so let's leave that aside for now and just talk about the laws."
Cao Ya said in a deep voice, his words seemingly filled with endless confusion:
"Earth, fire, water, wind, lightning, light, darkness—how can these seven elements encompass all things in the world? Even if we add the four great rules, it is still far from enough."
The crowd was a little confused, not understanding what he meant.
“Mr. Dunger, do you mean... there must be other laws?” Linley asked in astonishment.
“I’m just guessing,” Cao Ya said with a smile. “For example, metal objects should belong to the laws, but they don’t show up at all. I guess that there may be a metal element law in the world, but it’s hidden and cannot be comprehended.”
"Similarly, among the rules, the most obvious is space... Deep within the Arctic Ice Plains of my Magnolia Plane, there is a spatial teleportation array leading to the supreme plane and the divine plane. This is an example to show that there are indeed spatial rules in the universe, but none of us can comprehend them. There are also time rules..."
"I guess that laws such as the metal element, spatial rules, and temporal rules do exist, but they are not as clearly revealed as the seven major laws and four major rules. We cultivators can perceive and integrate them to improve ourselves and evolve our lives."
"Probably, these hidden laws and rules are not allowed to be comprehended."
Cao Ya sighed deeply.
He only mentioned the relevant situation, but he dared not talk about things like Hongmeng, Hongmeng Space, Hongmeng Golden List, the four subordinate universes, and a main universe.
The primordial being who existed before heaven and earth and created all things in the universe, even if he heard about it, would not mind, and might even be quite interested, wanting to see what his subsequent journey was like.
For example, the Fate Master Auf also discovered many inappropriate and abnormal things and studied them, but Hongmeng noticed them but ignored them completely.
Hongmeng greatly hopes to see beings within the universe who can unravel the secrets of heaven and earth, break through the universe, and enter the Hongmeng space.
If one cannot transcend, one is but an ant.
However, his words left the group of people stunned for quite a while.
“This…we’ve never thought about this before,” Tarosa said, taken aback.
The seven laws and four rules have remained unchanged for countless years. No one has ever thought that there are only these eleven systems of laws and rules in the universe. Are there any other laws or rules besides these?
Perhaps some powerful individuals have considered this, but they are unaware of it.
“The laws of metal, the rules of space, the rules of time…” Linley pondered, and said, “There are indeed metals and metals within the world… Just as Mr. Dunger said, such elements should exist.”
"And as for space and time, there's no need to elaborate. We are all in space, and we are all being washed away by time, but..."
Lin Lei gave a wry smile and sighed:
Even if you know it, you can't understand it. Perhaps, as Mr. Dunger said, these laws and rules are hidden.
Cao Ya shrugged. Regardless of whether the hidden laws and rules could be comprehended, he was determined to comprehend the seven laws and four rules that had been revealed. Well, let's not talk about the four rules, but he was definitely going to comprehend the seven laws.
Otherwise, how can one transcend the limits of the divine and touch the realm of the supreme god?
"Haha~~~ Let's not talk about that anymore. The Seven Great Laws and the Four Great Rules are enough for us to cultivate. We'd never reach perfection in a lifetime. Come on, let's drink, let's drink!" Hart laughed heartily, not taking the matter to heart.
Indeed, across countless planes and endless ages, among countless beings and god-level powerhouses, only a handful throughout history have been able to fully comprehend and integrate a system of laws or rules to achieve perfection—the number is even fewer than that of the main gods.
These are the laws and rules that are outwardly apparent, such as the element of metal, space, and time. The laws and rules that are hidden are things that one can probably never even begin to understand in a lifetime.
"Come on, drink!"
Inside the Dragonblood Castle banquet hall, everyone continued drinking and reveling all night long, in high spirits.
Inside the Metal Castle in the Dark Forest.
Beirut listened to Cao Ya's words and fell into deep thought.
Suddenly, he shook his head and whispered:
"While it makes sense, it's useless to 99.99% of the living beings in the world. Those who can elevate a lineage to the Great Perfection are few and far between, let alone those hidden laws and rules?"
Although Beirut thought this kind of thinking was meaningless, he still appreciated Cao Ya's attitude towards spiritual practice.
Perhaps, this Dunge truly has the potential to achieve Great Perfection... or even comprehend the hidden laws or rules? The first case in countless years?
Beirut suddenly felt hopeful.
After all, he was quite bored staying in the Yulan Continent for so long.
It's nice to have some fun every now and then.

The next day, at noon, the banquet finally ended. Cao Ya took his leave, bid farewell to Lin Lei and the others, and left Dragonblood Castle, flying back to his cave where he had been practicing asceticism.
The many powerful figures hidden in the Yulan Continent all knew how terrifying Dunge (Cao Ya) was, and they also knew that Dragon Blood Castle was protected by several mid-level gods and was under the protection of Lord Beirut. Without a doubt... no one dared to provoke Beirut unless they reached the strength of a high-level god!
Enraged by Bernard's death, Adkins wanted to kill Cao Ya, but couldn't find him. As for Dragonblood Castle, which was under Beirut's protection, he wanted to enter the Tomb of the Gods, but dared not easily offend Beirut.
"A thousand years..."
Adkins gritted his teeth, his words filled with hatred:
"A thousand years later, I will enter the Tomb of the Gods and emerge from it, and I will obtain... Beirut, Dunge, Tarosa, Dilin, Linley... all of you will die! I will make you regret your current arrogance and ignorance!"
He only cared about the dead Bernard, while Adkins didn't care about Hambrit, Gattenby, and O'Gavin at all.
Besides Adkins, a high-ranking god, the plane guardian "Hodan" in the depths of the Arctic ice plains also welcomed several god-level powerhouses from hell. Led by the high-ranking god Sadista, there were also mid-ranking gods and low-ranking gods, totaling dozens of people, all of whom were god-level powerhouses.
This group of people, too, came for the tomb of the gods.
Furthermore, those god-level and saint-level powerhouses who had never left the Yulan Continent were all hidden away because of the Tomb of the Gods, waiting for the opening of the Tomb of the Gods a thousand years later.
After all the parties ceased their hostilities, the Yulan Continent returned to its usual tranquility. In this tranquility, the river of time flowed swiftly by, year after year…
Cao Ya entered the system space multiple times during this period, but no new people were found. On the contrary, it was Cao Ya from [Covering the Sky] who entered at the same time. The guy who was even more unlucky than him had been sealed in the divine source of the Purple Mountain Tomb for countless years, and it seemed that he had finally ushered in a turning point.
