I am the Arcane Archer, and all my skills are self-created.

The summit of Kunlun Mountain.

Li Wu slowly lowered his finger that was pointing to the sky.

His face was even paler than before.

That last move seemed casual.

In reality, it was an extremely skillful application of the two principles of "transformation" and "law".

He did not try to withstand that energy tide.

Because he knew that it was the "world power" that would inevitably be generated when two dimensions merged.

Even he couldn't possibly block it head-on.

What he did was "guide".

Using his understanding of the essence of the law, he found the most crucial "transformation node" within that violent energy.

Then, with a faint but extremely high level of the law of "transformation," it was gently "stirred."

It's like changing the course of a great river.

He redirected the flood that was about to bring destruction to another river that led to "new life".

The operation involved was exquisitely skillful.

It requires a godlike understanding and control over the laws.

Even the slightest difference can lead to drastically different results.

"You bastard..."

Looking at Li Wu, Gu Yuan no longer knew how to describe his feelings.

"You turned a disaster into an opportunity?"

"This is not a matter of chance."

Li Wu shook her head.

"This is just that the locks inside their bodies were opened ahead of time."

"Deep within each person's soul lies the seed of law."

"However, in the previous world, this seed was locked away by the rules."

"All I did was use that energy to help them break open the lock, creating a small crack."

"As for what this seed will grow into in the future, whether it will become a towering tree or a roadside weed."

"That depends on their own fate."

Li Wu spoke calmly, as if he had only done a trivial matter.

But Gu Yuan and Cang Ming were terrified.

Can you help billions of people unlock the laws governing their bodies?

What an incredible feat!

They couldn't even imagine what it would be like when all these billions of "seeds" started to sprout.

What will this world become?

That will be an unprecedented event, full of infinite possibilities, and also full of infinite dangers...

The Golden Age.

Or rather, a chaotic era.

And the man who ushered in this era stands right before them.

His face showed neither joy nor worry.

There was only one place, as deep and tranquil as the starry sky.

It was as if he had already foreseen the outcome of all of this.

"Let's continue."

Li Wu didn't explain anything further.

He once again immersed himself in the massive project of constructing the spatial matrix.

Gu Yuan and Cang Ming also composed themselves and fully cooperated.

They knew that what they needed to do now was neither to question nor to marvel.

Instead, she followed closely in the footsteps of this man.

Because they had already vaguely sensed it.

What they are doing may be more than just fighting against the Ones.

More importantly, it is to lay the most solid foundation for this brand new era.

……

Time flew by amidst the tedious and intense construction process.

one day.

Two days.

Three days.

Supported by the core energy of the eight planets, the spatial law matrix covering the entire solar system finally began to take shape.

An invisible golden net composed of countless lines of laws.

Centered on the sun, all nine celestial bodies are connected together.

This process also had a huge impact on Earth itself.

All sorts of bizarre and inexplicable phenomena have appeared around the world.

Beneath the Antarctic ice sheet, a glowing forest has grown.

Clear spring water gushes forth in the Sahara Desert.

Above the Bermuda Triangle, a sky city appeared, suspended in the clouds.

The physical laws and natural environment of the entire planet are undergoing drastic and irreversible changes.

Of course, the biggest change is in human beings themselves.

As the first wave of energy tides arrives, more and more people begin to "awaken".

They discovered that they could see things they couldn't see before.

It enables us to do things that were previously impossible.

Some people can conjure flames out of thin air, some can control water flow, some can make plants grow wildly, and some can talk to animals.

The whole world has fallen into a state of frenzy and chaos.

Some people are overjoyed to have gained superpowers.

Some people are fearful and uneasy about the dramatic changes in the world.

Governments around the world reacted quickly after the initial shock and confusion.

They began to try to establish a new order and to gather and manage these "awakened ones".

But the effect was minimal.

When an individual's power becomes so great that they can disregard the rules.

The old order is bound to collapse.

Fortunately, this situation had already occurred before during the anomaly in the Origin Realm.

No major upheavals or disturbances occurred on the entire planet.

Hua Zitong, Zhui Feng, and the others became one of the busiest groups of people in the world.

They used their immense power to suppress those madmen who acted recklessly because they had awakened their abilities.

They used their understanding of the laws to teach those kind-hearted awakened individuals how to properly use their power.

They became the initial "guardians" and "guides" in this chaotic era.

But they knew that all of this was only temporary.

The real test is yet to come.

……

On this day, Hua Zitong had just finished dealing with a riot that occurred in Europe, caused by awakened individuals.

She dragged her exhausted body back to the temporary base in the Kunlun Mountains.

She saw Li Wu standing alone on the mountaintop, gazing at the distant sea of ​​clouds.

His silhouette was stretched long in the afterglow of the setting sun.

He seemed a little lonely.

Hua Zitong's heart ached for no reason.

She knew that this man was carrying too much on his shoulders.

He alone shouldered the fate of the entire world.

But he never once said he was tired to anyone.

She walked quietly behind him.

She hugged him from behind.

Are you tired?

Her voice was very soft and gentle.

Li Wu's body stiffened slightly.

Then, slowly relax.

He didn't turn around, but simply reached out and covered Hua Zitong's hand that was wrapped around his waist.

"Not tired."

His voice was somewhat hoarse.

For several days and nights in a row, they worked tirelessly to construct the spatial matrix.

Even he felt deeply exhausted.

This kind of fatigue comes more from the mental level.

Every moment, he uses his own laws to perceive and monitor the entire solar system.

Ensure the stability of every node and the smooth operation of every energy line.

At the same time, he also had to spare some attention to keep an eye on everything happening on Earth.

Guiding energy tides to smooth out spatial cracks.

They even use the laws of fate to quietly resolve some "bad luck" that might cause huge disasters.

He's like a chess player who's playing dozens of games at the same time.

Every step must be calculated with absolute precision.

Don't lie to me.

Hua Zitong pressed her face against his back.

"I can sense that your mental energy is severely depleted."

"Take a break, even if it's just for a little while."

Li Wu fell silent.

He certainly wanted to rest.

But he can't.

He knew that Guiyi and the "mastermind" behind the scenes were definitely watching.

They were waiting, waiting for the moment he would reveal a weakness.

He must always be in a state of high alert.

"Soon."

He said softly.

"Once the matrix stabilizes completely, we can finally catch our breath."

"Really?"

"Um."

Li Wu turned around and looked at Hua Zitong.

Her face was also etched with exhaustion.

There were even faint dark circles under her eyes.

This added a touch of vulnerability to her stunningly beautiful face, making her seem pitiful to behold.

Li Wu's heart was touched.

He reached out and gently stroked her cheek.

"Thanks a lot."

"It's not hard work." Hua Zitong shook her head. "Compared to you, what we did is nothing."

"You're the one who's had the hardest time."

She looked into Li Wu's eyes, those deep, starry eyes.

"Li Wu, promise me."

"No matter what happens in the future, don't bear it all alone."

"You still have us."

Li Wu looked at her, his gaze softening.

He didn't speak, but lowered his head and gently kissed her forehead.

This was a kiss devoid of any lust, filled with tenderness and commitment.

Hua Zitong closed her eyes, feeling the warmth of his lips.

At that moment, she felt all her fatigue disappear.

As long as she could be with him, she would be fearless even if she faced the malice of the entire universe.

However, this heartwarming moment did not last long.

A piercing alarm suddenly rang out across the entire summit of Kunlun.

It was set up by Cangming as a spatial law fluctuation monitor.

Li Wu and Hua Zitong's expressions changed simultaneously.

They suddenly looked up at the sky.

There, in the outer space of the blue planet.

A colossal, ominous, dark red vortex was slowly forming.

That familiar, nauseating fluctuation of law...

He is the One!

He finally came.

Moreover, it was even faster than Li Wu had expected!

"What does he want to do?"

Hua Zitong's face turned deathly pale instantly.

The spatial matrix is ​​not yet fully stable.

Blue Star's defenses are at their most vulnerable stage.

His decision to strike at this moment was a perfect strike that hit their most fatal weakness!

"He didn't intend to attack us."

Li Wu's eyes were fixed on the dark red vortex.

His expression was more solemn than ever before.

"He wanted to...pollute."

"He wants to use his own fundamental laws to corrupt our spatial matrix!"

"If he succeeds, the entire solar system will become his domain!"

"At that time, the laws governing all of us will be suppressed, or even altered!"

"We will be completely at his mercy!"

Li Wu's words instantly plunged Hua Zitong's heart into despair.

She knew what that meant.

This means that all their previous efforts will be in vain.

They will lose this war, a war that has already been wagered before it even began.
