Swallowed Star: Primordial Artifact

Chapter 234 The Oppression of Cosmic Rules

“According to the requirements of refining artifacts according to the laws, my current understanding of the laws of time is far from sufficient to support the inscription of all the secret patterns on the treasure.” Jiang Ye frowned, his gaze fixed intently on the Flowing Light Gale Disc. “And if I were to use the method of inscribing secret patterns, I haven’t even touched the threshold yet, let alone innovated.”

Just as Jiang Ye was caught in a dilemma, the inherent secret patterns recorded in the weapon-refining manual suddenly appeared in his mind.

Although these runes are not the most advanced, nor are they a perfect match for the Flowing Light Gale Disc, they have been tested by countless weapon refiners and possess extraordinary stability and practicality, earning them the title of "all-rounder" in the weapon refining world.

"At this point, we have no choice but to try anything," Jiang Ye sighed inwardly.

He slowly closed his eyes, immersing himself completely in the various weapon-refining manuals recorded in his mind. Every line of the secret pattern and every flow of energy was repeatedly deduced and pondered in his consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Jiang Ye suddenly opened his eyes, a cold glint flashing in them.

He channeled the vast power of his inner world, the immense energy surging like a torrent, flowing down his arm and converging at his fingertips. As his fingertips gently touched the cold surface of the Flowing Light Gale Disc, a faint yet dazzling light instantly ignited at the point of contact.

Jiang Ye carefully moved his fingertips, and began to inscribe the secret runes according to the memory in his mind.

As the light carried by the fingertips moved across the surface of the Flowing Light Gale Disc, subtle ripples began to appear in the surrounding space.

As a world lord-level powerhouse, Jiang Ye's control over power has long reached the pinnacle. He can control it down to a millimeter, a micrometer, or even a nanometer with absolute precision.

However, although the inherent patterns have a set template, the carving of each pattern is like dancing on the tip of a needle. Not only must the output and flow of energy be precisely controlled, but also the subtle changes in the energy inside the object must be constantly observed.

The slightest mistake could reduce the precious Flowing Light Gale Disc to dust, or even result in a terrifying backlash.

It should be noted that the set of inherent rune patterns that Jiang Ye found was already the simplest of the solutions to match the Flowing Light Gale Disc.

Even so, it still records in detail that Jiang Ye needs to carve at least 58,400 patterns.

These 58,400 patterns are composed of 64 unique pattern diagrams. Each set of 810 patterns interweaves with the others, resembling an exquisite star map depicting the workings of the universe. They are all interconnected, and a change in one part affects the whole.

After completing the first eighty-one lines, Jiang Ye already felt a bit tired, and his forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat.

"It's really difficult. The changes in each pattern are incredibly complex, yet they contain an indescribable sense of harmonious beauty. Every 810 patterns can just create a perfect energy cycle!" Jiang Ye was completely immersed in depicting the secret patterns.

hum!
A muffled humming sound suddenly came from the void, followed by an invisible yet extremely oppressive force surging in.

"Ok!"

Jiang Ye, who had just finished carving out the general outline of the entire secret pattern, couldn't help but let out a muffled groan, his body trembling slightly.

Just a moment,

He forced himself to steady his fingertips, his eyes scanning the surroundings warily, wondering to himself, "What's going on? Where did this attack come from?" Despite his confusion, Jiang Ye's hands did not stop moving at all.

After all, it had been sculpted to such a crucial point that he dared not imagine what would happen to his Flowing Light Gale Disc if he stopped.

He endured the pain and continued carving the patterns, but the more he carved, the stronger the pain became, as if an invisible constraint and pressure were directly pressing on his entire body, and even that invisible pressure was directly pressing on his soul.

Jiang Ye felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on his body, and every inch of his skin was in excruciating pain. The power of the world within his body became chaotic under this pressure.

His fingertips began to tremble, and the once steady light began to flicker. At the same time, Jiang Ye discovered that the secret patterns on the surface of the Flowing Light Gale Disc were beginning to distort, and the newly constructed energy cycle was showing signs of collapse.

"Not good!" Jiang Ye was shocked. He knew that once the secret runes collapsed, the Flowing Light Gale Disc would be completely destroyed.

At this critical moment, the Qiankun Cauldron in front of Jiang Ye suddenly emitted a soft light.

In just a moment, the light not only enveloped him, but also stabilized the Flowing Light Gale Disc, which was on the verge of collapse.

The Qiankun Cauldron is a primordial divine artifact, possessing the miraculous ability to resist the power of rules. Under the protection of the Qiankun Cauldron, Jiang Ye felt that oppressive force instantly disappear.

Jiang Ye took a deep breath, calmed his disordered breathing, and focused his mind to carve the secret runes again.

"What's going on? I wasn't attacked by any other powerful individuals, so who is attacking me?"

Keep in mind that Jiang Ye is currently in his inner world, his own territory, where he is completely immune to attacks from any other super-strong individuals...

"If they don't attack me, they can't be oppressed for no reason."

Jiang Ye frowned.

"This invisible force is an oppression that acts on both the body and the soul at the same time..." Jiang Ye recalled the feeling before and couldn't help but shudder. It was a feeling that was completely impossible to resist.

"This feeling... seems to be the operating rules of the primordial universe!" Jiang Ye was startled, and a bold guess flashed through his mind.

Could it be that the primordial will of the original universe is putting pressure on me?

Yes.

According to the information Jiang Ye possessed, the entire primordial universe operated under certain rules. For example, once space was shattered, it would automatically repair itself; any object reaching the speed of light would be transported to the dark universe. These were all manifestations of the primordial universe's own operating rules. At this moment, if someone's actions violated these rules, they would likely face a backlash.

Within the primordial universe, one must abide by the rules governing its operation.

"The universe operates according to inviolable rules, and any attempt to defy these rules will be met with a merciless backlash," Jiang Ye pondered to himself. "Could it be that the patterns I'm currently drawing violate the original rules of the universe?"

"Could it be that the Secret Pattern Refining Method is not recognized by the Primal Universe?" Jiang Ye's thoughts became clearer.

"By the way, in the primordial universe, apart from the Mountain-Sitting Guest and the Master Craftsman who received guidance, all the treasure-refining masters used the Law-based weapon-refining method. And the mechanical treasures that are highly regarded on the Origin Continent are not just rare in this primordial universe, they are practically nonexistent!"

"call."

Having made his judgment, Jiang Ye breathed a sigh of relief. The universe is vast and boundless, giving birth to billions of races and countless powerful beings. The rules governing the universe are the most impartial, without the slightest bias.

Even the inherited memories of the Ancestral Dragon Pearl describe the existence of some rules governing the operation of the universe, but it is clear that these rules are for the stability of the entire universe.

They wouldn't say it, but directly kill a life.

At least in the inherited memories, I have never heard of the rules of the universe killing anyone.
