NOVEL NEXT Chapter 62: Chaos Energy
Finally, after Millions of years, Dyer succeeded.
He was initially very close to rank 10, and now, after a few centuries, he took that final step.
His complete law, the complete law of destiny, is a combination of 'ways' of luck and faith.
To promote the fragment law of destiny to the complete law of destiny, he also added the way of Fate to the balance.
With the help of a lot of Golden apples, he quickly collected enough way of fate.
However, it was not so easy.
If it were as easy as collecting some way of fate, he would have already reached rank 10.
To reach rank 10, a specific combination of many fragment laws and ways is needed. High-level civilizations refer to it as 'law formula'.
Let's start from the beginning.
From rank 1 to 3, mages directly use mana without anything attached. But at rank 4, one has to choose a 'way.'
A 'way' affects mana and can enhance the effects of some spells. The way of luck increases the effects of all spells related to luck.
However, a way can only go as far as rank 6 because it's a very elementary form of law and is not strong enough for casting a rank 7 spell.
To reach rank 7, one must combine at least two 'ways' and create a fragment law.
It's not a random process.
One must be careful about proportions, such as how much Faith and how much luck becomes destiny. It's a complicated process, but fortunately, all major academies have detailed information regarding this.
The Seven Lights Academy has a wealth of information about the way of luck and related fragment laws.
The God of Fate has the fragment law of Fate, but that is the Fragment law of Fate. It is different from the way of fate.
Fragment law of Fate is not just the way of fate; it is fate combined with luck.
God of Fate named it like this, but in fact, it's fate+luck.
After reaching rank 7, one can cast spells by fragment laws. Spells that are in line with the fragment law receive a huge boost.
After rank 7, one has to collect more and more of their fragment law.
Rank 7 mages have little reserves, but still, they can overpower anyone below rank 7. The difference between rank 6 and 7 is like heaven and hell.
In rank 8, mages have a much bigger reserve.
Rank 7 mages, as long as they have enough reserves, they can at least run away in the face of rank 8s. The only difference between rank 7 and 8 is reserves of fragment law. The same goes for rank 9—only quantity increases.
For example, when Dyer sent a rank 8 clone to hell, it was nearly as strong as rank 9 because it had a vast reserve of fragment law.
Still, one might be able to run facing a higher rank, but defeating a higher rank is way too hard.
With every increase in rank, the body, mind, soul, and all areas improve. It's hard for a rank 8 to cast a rank 9 spell, even if they have enough reserves. In contrast, rank 9 mages can easily use rank 9 spells.
After rank 9, it's time to create a complete law.
It was not known to anyone before, but now Dyer knows it in detail. A lot of information was obtained from Doris, who retrieved it from the system. Dyer still doesn't understand why the system was so generous in giving so many items to Doris.
A lot is needed to reach rank 10.
The key is 'Law formula.'
The law formula of the complete law of destiny is: 1.4221455 fragment law of Fate, 3.44115798 fragment law of Luck, 4.94485547 fragment law of Faith, 0.1551551 Way of Water, 0.0421995 Way of Fire, etc.
Creating the complete law of destiny requires over 1,000 different ways and three fragment laws.
There are millions of different ways in the world, so it's easy to understand why it is so challenging to discover new complete laws.
Dyer had a strong foundation in the fragment law of destiny, and with the help of observing the endless space, he filled the gaps in his knowledge.
He would have never been able to fill all the gaps by himself.
He only succeeded because he cheated!
But right now, he didn't care about any of that. He only cared about one thing.
"I am immortal, at last!" he thought.
With the Complete law of destiny, he will no longer die! "Congratulations," said Lewis, who was smiling.
"Lewis, you can promote too," he said, urging Lewis to promote.
Lewis shook his head and said, "Heaven might not have enough resources for two rank 10 promotions!!"
Making a complete laws laws is not easy. In addition to knowing the law formula, one needs resources.
Because Dyer was promoted here, the world provided all the resources.
He would have had to look for resources if the world's laws were restrictive.
In rank 11 worlds, which can last billions of years, a lot of resources would naturally form.
An old rank 11 world could provide enough resources for tens of rank 10 promotions.
The resources that can form complete laws are emotions.
High-rank civilizations call it 'realization energy.'
Any emotion will do, whether anger, hate, love, etc. The world will collect these emotions for the moment of rank 10 promotions.
All civilizations have 'reactors,' worlds purely made to collect emotions.
In such worlds, they don't care about reverse-engineering complete laws. They simply create many mortals and force them to feel all kinds of intense emotions.
These worlds have both heaven and hell sections. In heaven, all experience endless joy and happiness, and in hell, all endure eternal suffering.
Then, these emotions will go to factories.
Great Dream has two main factories: the complete law of time and the complete law of space factories.
The output of 'Realization Energy' is enormous, but the expenditure is also huge. Emotions are also the fuel for using Universal laws. So, even though they have a lot in reserve, civilizations are always stingy about it.
They can use it to drive universal laws! Why use it to repair a world instead?
Now, Lewis was wrong.
He didn't have enough information.
Heaven has existed for hundreds of billions of years has a massive trove of emotions that can support more than 100 rank-10 promotions.
Dyer also didn't know much about any of this.
If he knew about emotions, he would have guessed how Doris's system works.
But his intuition was very strong. He felt the world had enough resources.
"Lewis, I won't go anywhere without you. So, I will share my experience with you, and you can also form the complete law of destiny," he said.
Complete laws are not universal laws. You can have as many complete laws of destiny as you want.
But Dyer didn't know that Rachel had already edited the world rules law.
Only one of every law can be promoted to rank 10.
Dyer was already promoted to rank 10 using the complete law of destiny, so Lewis can only choose another.
Lewis looked reluctant, but in the end, he nodded.
Forming a complete law is very risky. Any failure means death.
Dyer succeeded on the first try, which means he was fortunate. Most will die.
Because, in the process of mixing all kinds of fragment laws and ways, if anything goes wrong, it will explode.
Heaven was so huge that it wouldn't be damaged from such an explosion; before promotion, the blast would be rank 9.
If a complete law explodes in heaven, then the whole heaven might be wiped out.
When the gods found out what was happening, they became very distressed. They felt the world's reserves were limited, so Lewis's promotion meant they would lose the chance.
But Dyer had a lot of rank 10 spell crystals and was capable of using the rank 10 weapons, so the gods gave up.
They can only pray that there will be enough resources left for them after Lewis.
...
Dyer was testing his complete law.
"I should be able to resist Endless Space now, right?" he thought.
Only rank 10 and above can survive in the endless space.
He wanted to test it in person but was afraid.
After finally reaching rank 10, it would be very ridiculous if he died in the endless space.
"There is no other way!" he thought.
But before going, first...
He closed his eyes and felt his complete law.
It was like a thin, very bright thread, shining with golden light.
He opened his third eye and looked at the river of time. It was much shallower than before, and many places were missing. Still, it was grand.
He tried to use his complete law to manipulate the river of time. A big wind came and pushed a lot of water as he wanted. He tried to add a lot of luck to himself.
Luck from all around came and gathered around him.
"I can completely manipulate luck! Let's try what happens if I deplete luck from something."
He saw a rocky mountain not far away.
In the river of time, he started to deplete its time. The mountain originally had reasonably good luck. But after a few moments, its luck went into the negative.
After it went far into the negative, Dyer stopped.
All these tasks were too easy for him.
The mountain stood there as if nothing had changed.
A few minutes later...
From afar, an angel was slowly approaching. After a few seconds, he arrived and looked around.
"I should collect a lot of rock. Hey, isn't that a rocky mountain? Let's take it!" He was a ten-winged angel, equivalent to a rank 5 mage, so this task was easy for him.
He cast a simple spell, took the mountain, and disappeared.
"The angel got a huge boost in luck!" Dyer saw.
Dyer already knows this. If you kill someone or something with negative luck, you will get a boost yourself.
The world's rules hate negative values, so they reward those who remove them.
Dyer watched as the mountain was getting closer to the construction site, where it would presumably be destroyed.
"When it gets destroyed, the luck turns to normal. So if I save it when it's about to be destroyed, the bad luck gets transferred to me. My luck takes a hit, but the rock mountain survives."
This is why one will suffer if one tries to save people with negative luck.
"Nothing really changed, except I'm countless times stronger now! My basic abilities are still the same," he thought.
He can use his complete law of Destiny to emulate other laws. He can use it to create weird creatures, increase someone's lifespan, and everything else.
But the consumption increases the more the task he does is distant from the complete law of destiny's specialty.
Most of the time, the consumption of using a complete law is small.
Consumption will vastly increase when trying to interfere with a world's rules or fight with other complete laws.
As for what is the fuel, it has many names.
Some call it space energy, Some call it true energy, some call it chaos energy.
It's the energy that can only be found in the endless space.
Why can't those below rank 10 survive in the endless space? It's because of this chaos energy.
It is the fuel for using complete laws, but it will burn anyone below rank 10 to death. Rank 9 worlds quickly get destroyed because chaos energy consumes them.
Right now, Dyer has a little chaos energy in reserve. If he wants to use his complete law long-term, he can only venture into the endless space.
But it has a lot of risk.
Endless space is, well, endless.
But this area of endless space is mainly occupied by Great Dream. So, when going out, he must respect their laws and avoid offending them.
He obtained these pieces of information from many inheritances left behind by the creators, written with strange symbols that only now he is able to read.
"Okay, let's go out into the endless space a bit," he stepped out.
