Chapter 588 Urban Martial Arts World - Classmate A (18)
After leaving Xiao Huohuo's office, Jiang Yue prepared to become a firefighter again, having grown accustomed to this kind of life over the years.
Upon arriving at this location, we didn't encounter a major battle right away. The situation here is quite different. These are the first batch of portals to be opened, and the stage of life-and-death fighting has already passed. They have a deep understanding of Earth. Many cults in China, and the group that advocates reducing the resources of Wuhan University, were developed by them.
After staying here for a few days, she encountered a small battle. It was a low-level battle, so she didn't need to get involved. Since she was idle anyway, she not only cultivated but also gave guidance to others. Wouldn't it be good to have a few more high-level cultivators?
However, resources are truly scarce here. The newly opened interdimensional portal has abundant resources, so we can plunder some of them. Where would we get resources from this long-term portal? Even the inhabitants of this other world don't have enough.
After half a year of cultivation, Jiang Yue's comprehension of the laws was on track. Just as she finished her seclusion that day, she heard the news that Xiao Huohuo had broken through to the eleventh rank. Jiang Yue was stunned when she heard the news. Although she knew it would happen soon, this was too fast.
The day after Xiao Huohuo's breakthrough, Jiang Yue, as the top leader, announced a state of alert. This was not without reason; every time he broke through, something went wrong.
As Jiang Yue had predicted, the great war began just two days later. This time, the scale was unprecedented, with many worlds that had already invaded simultaneously launching wars against Earth.
It seemed like they had planned it all along, but Jiang Yue didn't have time to think about that. Her battle had already begun. Because of Jiang Yue's presence, there were far fewer casualties than before. After all, she had a healing talent, and with the development of another talent after her breakthrough, the herbs she planted were growing quite well, and everyone could afford medicine.
Jiang Yue's side chose to defend the city instead of attacking, because they didn't have as many people as the enemy, who could provide a continuous stream of reinforcements. Jiang Yue's side simply couldn't afford to fight back and hold the enemy back.
Xiao Huohuo's battle record is outstanding, which is normal. His cheat ability gets stronger with each battle. The more people he kills, the more laws he comprehends. Given time, it's only a matter of time before he becomes invincible.
Another year passed before the great war finally ended. Earth suffered heavy losses, with one fighting against many. Even if some had allied with humanity, the situation would probably be very different now.
After the war ended, Jiang Yue returned to Kyoto for a meeting to discuss some issues. When she left, she looked at Xiao Huohuo and was certain that she could no longer defeat him. She estimated that it wouldn't be long before he could break through to the twelfth rank. It all depended on whether he wanted to master more laws.
Jiang Yue was under immense pressure. The stronger Xiao Huohuo became, the worse the situation became, and the closer they got to the final battle. After checking on things at home, she went back to cultivate. She felt a sense of urgency and decided to advance to the twelfth rank first.
Three years later, Xiao Huohuo had broken through to the twelfth rank, while Jiang Yue was still hovering around the eleventh rank. She was now ready to break through to the twelfth rank, but she wanted to master more laws. Currently, she had only mastered the laws formed by the Five Elements and the two innate talents.
She wanted to see if she could get involved in the laws of time and space, but it seemed that the laws of time and space were beyond her grasp in this world. Jiang Yue tried many times, and it felt as if the laws of nature were preventing her from comprehending them.
I made some inquiries in secret, and it seems that no one has comprehended the laws of time and space. There are some derivatives, but there are no experts in the field of time and space. This is strange, not only on Earth, but also among people from other worlds.
Jiang Yue consulted Lu Jiuxiao, the Minister of Education, who said it might be due to imperfections in the universe, or it might be because these two paths had been exhausted and someone had reached the end of the path and blocked them at the source.
"Harmony with the Dao?"
"Yes, this is a realm above the twelfth grade. When you fully master a law, the next step is to merge with the Dao, becoming a part of the Heavenly Dao, thus achieving near immortality."
"Isn't it true immortality?"
"How could that be? At least we haven't found anyone like that yet. Currently, even those who reach the Dao level can die."
"If you want to continue to grow stronger after merging with the Dao, you must devour other worlds to make the Dao of your own world stronger. The stronger the Dao, the stronger the laws, and the stronger the person who merges with the Dao. This forms a positive cycle."
"If someone attains enlightenment through a law, can subsequent practitioners continue cultivating it?"
"Being in harmony with the Dao doesn't mean you've grasped this law from its very source; of course, you can continue cultivating."
"But isn't the path to Dao integration supposed to require complete mastery of a single law?"
"What you think is complete mastery is the part that the Heavenly Dao releases for people to comprehend. For example, the Five Elements Dao that you have mastered only has 1/3 of its full power under the Heavenly Dao. When we talk about complete mastery, it is relative to the total progress reaching 33%. If you want to continue to comprehend, you must merge with the Dao."
"Only after merging with the Dao can one continue to comprehend it. Once one reaches 100%, one has completely grasped the source of the Five Elements Dao. Of course, this is just an example. In reality, the Dao is endless and constantly changing. Currently, no one has been able to completely master a complete Dao. However, once you reach a certain stage, you can intervene to prevent the Dao from being outwardly revealed and to hide it. This is what I mean by sealing it off, so that others cannot comprehend it."
"The Dao cannot be blocked at will. For example, if the predecessors wanted to block the Five Elements Dao that you have comprehended, the successors would definitely not agree and would definitely stop it, unless the gap is particularly large and it is an overwhelming trend."
"As for the laws of spacetime, either the Heavenly Dao is incomplete and lacks these two laws, or a top figure has blocked the path. I suspect the latter is more likely."
"Hiss, is that our Earth's predecessor?"
"I don't know either."
"Ugh, this is a hassle."
After saying goodbye to the minister, Jiang Yue went into seclusion. She had too many questions after asking around, and on her way home, she remembered what he had said.
"Before Earth was invaded by other worlds, the laws of each world were different. But after the first interdimensional portal opened, we found that the laws of the two worlds became similar. The laws of the other worlds were gradually assimilated by Earth. The same was true for the other worlds afterward. As long as the worlds are connected, they will all move closer to Earth."
"Then tens of thousands of years later, the other world that first opened the portal was about to merge with Earth. At first, people thought that, like in the novels, they would live together after merging into our world. The government even thought about how to make laws so that everyone would abide by them. But what happened? After the merger was completed, all the people in the other world were swallowed up by Earth."
"From then on, there was no more peace. Everyone was trying to avoid being swallowed by the earth, because no one wanted to die and everyone wanted to live."
