My classmates chose martial arts and fantasy, but I chose the prehistoric world.

The alien life form knew it couldn't withstand that axe blow!

"Fate—Prophecy!"

It let out a low roar, and the purple light on its body suddenly burst forth with dazzling brilliance!

A strange power emanated from its body and acted upon itself!

The next moment, its figure became blurry, as if it had merged into the long river of fate!

The chaotic axe light struck it, but it passed right through its body, as if it had only struck a phantom!

Meng Chuan's pupils suddenly contracted!

"What kind of tactic is this?!"

He was utterly shocked.

He could sense that his opponent hadn't dodged, but instead used an extremely strange method to make his attack "miss"!

After dodging the axe, the alien creature's body became solid again.

It looked at Meng Chuan, a complex expression flashing in its three purple eyes.

"You guys... are very strong."

It spoke, its voice slightly hoarse, "Especially you, having fused three top-tier laws, and that axe, which is incomparable to ordinary treasures... Your strength has even surpassed that of the weakest four-law fusion user!"

"Plus that woman who controls the laws of time... if you join forces, I'm really not confident I can defeat you; at best, it'll be a draw."

It was silent for a moment, then said, "I can let you cultivate in the Void Rift."

Meng Chuan and Yan Qing were both taken aback upon hearing this.

They didn't expect the other party to concede on their own initiative.

"but--"

The alien creature then changed its tone, "I have two conditions."

Meng Chuan frowned: "What are the conditions?"

The alien life form said, "The first condition: When I am cultivating, no matter what happens, as long as it does not affect you, you must not disturb me."

"The second condition: If any outsiders try to get a share of the profits, you must first take action and repel them!"

Meng Chuan thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay."

These two conditions are not excessive.

After all, this is their territory, and the fact that they are willing to let them share it is already a huge concession.

If the other party really decides to throw caution to the wind, it will be unable to continue cultivating here, and neither will the master and disciple, and in the end, they will only suffer mutual destruction.

"very good."

The alien life form nodded and then introduced itself: "My name is 'Tapa,' and I come from the 'Dark Abyss.'"

Meng Chuan also cupped his hands in greeting: "Meng Chuan comes from the Primordial World. This is my disciple, Yan Qing."

Tapa nodded, then turned and flew towards the depths of the Void Rift.

That place is where the laws of space are clearest.

"Let's go over there too."

Meng Chuan and Yan Qing exchanged a glance, then followed.

In a valley near the other's training ground, Meng Chuan and Yan Qing each set up a wooden hut as their next training ground.

Although Tapa agreed to let them cultivate here, Meng Chuan remained vigilant.

He dared not fully trust Tapa.

Therefore, the wooden huts where the master and disciple cultivated were placed next to each other.

"Teacher, are we really going to cultivate here?"

Yan Qing asked in a low voice, her tone tinged with worry, clearly concerned that Tapa might launch a sneak attack while they were cultivating.

Meng Chuan nodded: "This is an excellent place to comprehend the laws of space. If you miss this place, it will be difficult to find such a good place again."

"As for Tapa... as long as we are careful, there shouldn't be any problems."

"After all, if it really falls out with us, it won't be able to continue cultivating peacefully here."

After their respective wooden huts were built, Meng Chuan greeted Yan Qing and then went into his own hut to cultivate.

He sensed the rich spatial laws surrounding him, and his heart was filled with anticipation.

"The laws of space..."

He closed his eyes, focused his mind on his body, and began to draw upon the power of the surrounding spatial laws to comprehend their mysteries.

Time flowed slowly in the silent practice.

Meng Chuan's enlightenment was not smooth sailing.

The Law of Space, as one of the top three laws among the three thousand laws, is far more profound than the Law of Slaughter and the Law of Destruction.

Even with the unique environment of the Void Rift and the "all-encompassing" nature of the Law of Power, his progress in comprehending it was still extremely slow.

But he did not get discouraged and continued to persevere day after day and year after year.

He could feel that his understanding of the laws of space was deepening little by little.

It's like groping in the dark. Although you can't see the light, with each step you take, you can feel the surrounding environment becoming clearer.

One hundred years, two hundred years, five hundred years...

Eight hundred years, nine hundred years, one thousand years...

Finally, in the 1200th year, Meng Chuan suddenly opened his eyes!

In his pupils, it seemed as if endless space was folding, twisting, and extending!

The power of spatial laws surrounding him surged like a tide, forming visible ripples around his body!

"The laws of space... are finally complete!"

Meng Chuan muttered to himself, his tone tinged with barely suppressed excitement.

After 1,200 years of arduous cultivation, he finally comprehended the laws of space to perfection!

He could feel that his understanding of space had reached a whole new level!

Now, he doesn't even need to use divine power; with just a thought, he can freely travel through the surrounding space!

"Next, it's time for fusion..."

Meng Chuan took a deep breath, his gaze becoming serious.

He knew that comprehending the laws of space to perfection was only the first step. The real challenge lay in integrating the laws of space with the three laws that had already been merged.

The fusion of four laws is far more difficult than the fusion of three laws.

He adjusted his state, then closed his eyes and began to try to fuse.

However, he immediately encountered tremendous resistance as soon as he tried.

The Law of Force, the Law of Slaughter, and the Law of Destruction have been deeply integrated, forming an extremely stable structure.

As for the laws of space, as a brand-new and equally powerful law, it is extremely difficult for them to be integrated into this already stable structure!

Every attempt is like trying to pry open a mountain with a needle!

But Meng Chuan did not give up.

He tried again and again, using his divine sense to guide the laws of space, carefully approaching the three laws that had already merged, attempting to find a starting point.

One year, two years, five years...

Ten years, twenty years, fifty years...

Time slips away amidst constant attempts and failures.

Fine beads of sweat appeared on Meng Chuan's forehead.

His face also turned somewhat pale.

Each failure had a tremendous impact on his spiritual senses, like being hit hard on the head with a heavy hammer.

But he persevered despite his gritted teeth.

He knew that in order to gain a foothold in the Prison of Myriad Realms and to find Houtu, he had to continuously improve his strength!
