Swallowing the Stars: My Comprehension is Beyond the Heavens!

Chapter 153 Hidden and Ambush

On Canglan Star, in the villa that Mingyu bought, since the real battles took place in the realm within realm, and he didn't have much to do usually, he would invite his good friend Shao Donglai to his villa to discuss philosophy over wine.

Suddenly, both Mingyu and Shao Donglai's expressions changed.

Ming Yu looked at Shao Donglai and said with a smile, "It seems you've received the news too."

Let's take a look together.

As Shao Donglai spoke, he instructed the intelligent computer to project the video sent by his subordinates.

In the luxurious villa lobby, a huge screen was projected.

On the projection, in the night, a deep blue castle shimmered and spun amidst cyan patterns, dazzlingly bright.

Even though they weren't there, Mingyu and Shao Donglai both sensed a terrifying aura emanating from the cyan secret pattern.

"That's... the secret runes of the fundamental laws!" Mingyu stared in shock at the cyan secret runes on the screen.

Shao Donglai, standing to the side, also widened his eyes. "The secret runes of the laws have appeared... This is the descent of the primordial laws!"

The two top-tier domain lords stared blankly at the image on the screen until the cyan runes on the deep blue castle disappeared. Only then did Ming Yu say, "How could the primordial laws descend upon this realm within a realm?"

Shao Donglai frowned and said, "Generally speaking, when a fundamental law descends, there's only one possibility: it's an acknowledgment of someone who has comprehended the law to an extremely high level!"

Ming Yu asked in surprise, "But most of the people in this realm within a realm are at the Constant level, with only a few at the Universe level. Who among them could comprehend the laws to such a high level?"

This is something that even the domain lords couldn't do.

How could a group of celestial or cosmic beings possibly accomplish that?!

……

"How is this possible?!"

While Ming Yu and Shao Donglai were extremely surprised, the Flame Realm Lord Anmunz also saw the video.

He was even more shocked than Mingyu and the others.

Because he is a peak realm lord who has been recognized by the fundamental laws of fire!

He knew how difficult it was to gain the recognition of the fundamental laws.

But what's going on now?!

Why would someone gain the recognition of the fundamental laws within a world within a world?

What exactly is going on?

The Flame Lord's aura surged violently, and raging flames erupted around him, scorching and distorting the very space around him.

……

The powerful figures from the outside world, the two holy lands, the four major organizations, and the sixteen major families were all extremely shocked when they saw the video!

They issued orders one after another!

Have your subordinates, who are in the realm within a realm, find the person recognized by the fundamental laws!

Whoever he is, find a way to recruit him into the organization!

The command was quickly transmitted to the innermost realm.

So countless people eagerly watched the castle gates, and as soon as someone came out, someone would immediately go up to ask if he had received the recognition of the fundamental law.

These adventurers, who had entered the castle to mislead others, were left completely bewildered by the questions.

Acknowledgment of the fundamental law?

Oh! The terrifying aura that suddenly appeared earlier was actually the descent of the fundamental laws!

But... it wasn't me!

Why not me?!

These adventurers were insanely jealous.

You must know that as long as you can gain the recognition of the fundamental laws and do not perish during your growth, you will definitely be able to break through to the realm master level and achieve immortality!

……

"The descent and acknowledgment of the fundamental laws... Was that terrifying aura that suddenly appeared just now the descent of the fundamental laws?"

Listening to the information Ao Gu and the others had gathered, Luo Feng asked Atuka, the intelligent computer on his arm, "Atuka, what does the recognition of the Origin Law mean?"

"Master," Atuka replied, "the recognition of a fundamental law means that when a person comprehends a fundamental law to an extremely profound level, the fundamental law will bestow upon him a mark, thus recognizing him."

"Once you gain the recognition of the fundamental laws, you can enhance your understanding of them. When using the power of the laws, you will consume less energy and greatly increase the power of those laws!"

These materials and information can all be found in the virtual universe.

So Atuka searched and organized the information, and then provided an explanation for Luo Feng.

Luo Feng didn't really understand what he was hearing, because at this point he hadn't yet come into contact with the fundamental laws and had no concept of what laws were.

But the most basic information is now clear—

An existence that can gain the recognition of the fundamental laws is extremely powerful!

……

Inside the castle, Rorschach was unaware that the strange phenomena he had triggered had already caused a huge uproar outside.

Now, in addition to focusing on the treasure of Lord Kabu, various forces and powerful individuals are also paying attention to Rorschach, who is recognized by the fundamental laws...

Of course, the outside world is unaware that Rorschach is the one acknowledged by the fundamental laws.

Currently, the only people who know about this news... well, intelligent life forms, are Babata and Lord Mist.

After a period of turmoil, the two intelligent beings finally calmed down.

Luo Xia put all the treasures released by Lord Wu into his spatial ring and said to Lord Wu, "Lord Wu, I'm leaving now."

Lord Mist looked at Luo Xia with a strange expression, nodded, and said, "Okay, you can go now."

Luo Xia blinked. What was with the way this old man was looking at him?

Alas--!

I realized that the old man had become a pervert.

Luo Xia shuddered and quickly turned to leave.

He walked out of the city gate, and when he reached the main gate, he found that almost everyone in the camp was looking at him, which made him hesitate.

"Holy crap, what's going on?"

Why is he staring at me?

Babata said from inside the wristband space, "It's probably the effect of the primordial law descending just now. You caused quite a commotion!"

"So what do we do now?" Luo Xia composed himself and walked forward.

Babata said, "You'd better keep it a secret that you've been recognized by the fundamental laws... Otherwise, someone might kill you at all costs, like that Brolin."

"If Brolin knew that you were the one who gained the recognition of the fundamental laws, he would never let you leave the Realm within a Realm alive! Because he once hunted you down, and a grudge has been formed. If you live, he will die in the future!"

Luo Xia frowned slightly and nodded.

And so, in the sight of everyone, he walked towards the Three Axe Mountain camp.

"Brother Rorschach!" a voice called out to Rorschach.

He turned his head and saw the silver-haired Bendi walking towards him. "Did you just go to the castle?"

"Ah, um." Since he didn't have the Seventy-Two Transformations, he couldn't deny it under everyone's watchful eyes.

"Lord Bendi. What's wrong with everyone?"

Rorschach feigned ignorance and asked.

Ben Di looked at Luo Xia, especially at the area between his eyebrows, and saw no mark. He felt a pang of disappointment and said, "You didn't know?"

Luo Xia, displaying acting skills surpassing even the best actors, shook his head, feigning confusion.

Ben Di had no choice but to ask, "When you were in the castle just now, did you sense a terrifying aura?"

"Ah, yes! When that aura appeared, I was knocked unconscious. That aura was terrifying! Although it may sound disrespectful, I felt that aura was even more frightening than what Lord Mingyu gave me! Does Lord Mingyu know what happened back then?"

Babata gave Rorschach a thumbs up from inside the wristband!

That acting was amazing!

Ben Di said, "You've fainted... It seems it really wasn't you."

Many of the people who came out of the castle earlier also fainted under everyone's questioning.

This is quite normal.

After all, that was the descent of the fundamental laws!

They felt suffocated and their hearts pounded even outside the castle, let alone Rorschach and his companions inside.

It is perfectly normal to be knocked unconscious by the aura.

"The fundamental laws just descended..." Ben Di began to explain to Luo Xia.

Upon hearing this, Luo Xia exclaimed in disbelief, "Wow! Someone actually gained the recognition of the fundamental laws?! How is that possible?! Isn't that something only a great realm lord could achieve?"

"Yes, that's why Lord Mingyu told us that we must find that person no matter what and bring him into our ranks! Such a genius will definitely become immortal in the future!"

Ben Di said with a look of envy and jealousy.

Although he managed to advance to a universe-level powerhouse through this accidental advancement, his talent wasn't actually that high; it was just barely passable.

Therefore, he longed to become immortal!

But given his talent, it's probably impossible for him.

Immortal...

Those are eternally existing gods!

"I thought it would be even better if it were you!" Ben Di said, looking at Luo Xia. "After all, you were originally under Lord Ming Yu's command... Anyway, you went in to exchange for treasures?"

"Yes." Luo Xia nodded. "My brother and I have found quite a few Thunderstones these days, so we'll take this opportunity to exchange them for a treasure for Lord Mingyu."

"Okay, I got it. You get some rest." Ben Di patted Luo Xia on the shoulder and walked to the side. "I still need to find that great genius who was recognized by the fundamental laws!"

"Lord Bendi, you're busy."

Luo Xia watched Ben Di leave before turning to Luo Feng and the others who were approaching. "Big Brother!"

Luo Feng walked over and used telepathy to ask, "Is that you who received the recognition of the fundamental laws?"

"Brother, how did you know?" Luo Xia asked with a smile.

Luo Feng smiled wryly, "Besides you, I can't think of anyone else who could be so incredibly powerful!"

"Actually, I was quite surprised this time too," Luo Xia said, scratching his head.

This recognition of the fundamental law was very sudden.

Luo Xia had no idea that under such a dense aura of primordial laws, his comprehension and soul would suddenly erupt, directly gaining the recognition of the primordial laws of wind.

Luo Feng said solemnly, "You mustn't expose yourself, otherwise they will definitely force you to join their organization."

"Actually, joining these organizations isn't a bad idea," Babata suddenly said. "With Rorschach's talent, he'd definitely receive top-tier training if he joined. But I'm afraid they might use underhanded tactics, brainwash Rorschach, or turn him into a slave or something..."

Rorschach frowned and said, "Such despicable methods, brainwashing and turning me into a slave? Wouldn't that cripple me? What good would it do them?"

"Indeed, ordinary brainwashing and slave control methods will ruin you," Babata nodded. "But in this universe, there are countless ways to turn you into a slave and brainwash you while preserving your talent and comprehension. It's just that those methods come at a very high price."

Babata looked at Rorschach, "But compared to getting a godlike, unconditionally obedient genius who is destined to become immortal, paying a high price is not unacceptable."

"This universe is so dark and cruel."

Upon hearing this, Luo Feng couldn't help but speak up.

Babata shrugged. "You Earthlings always say, 'You can know a person's face but not their heart.' When you're out and about, you have to be extra careful. What I'm about to say is very likely to happen."

She told Luo Xia, "As long as you don't reveal your Law Mark, it will be quite difficult to find you among more than 60 people."

"Babata is right, better safe than sorry," Luo Feng nodded and said.

Luo Xia said, "Let's not talk about that for now. They shouldn't be able to find me for the time being. After exchanging for the treasures, I still have over 18 Thunderstones on me. What should I do?"

Luo Feng thought for a moment and said, "Let's find someone to sell it."

Babata said, "Sell them! These thunderstones aren't worth much."

"Alright, I'll find someone to sell the Thunderstone." Rorschach stroked his chin. "I can also use this opportunity to dispel many people's suspicions about me."

In the following period, Rorschach began looking for people in the camp to sell Thunderstone.

Shortly after, Brolin saw Katuro enter the main tent to report the news and asked, "How was it? Was the lucky one who gained the recognition of the fundamental laws that kid who comprehended the power of the laws?"

"Your Highness, it shouldn't be him." Katuro shook his head hesitantly. "Our people observed him closely, and there's no mark of law between his eyebrows!"

"Law imprints can be concealed!" Brolin shook his head. "Using this as a reason that he wasn't the lucky one doesn't hold water! He very well could have concealed the law imprint!"

He looked at Katuro, his eyes icy. "The cyan runes... the primal law that descended before was the Law of Wind, and you said that the primal law he comprehended was also the Law of Wind... Although I don't want to admit it, who else but him is the one who has gained the recognition of the primal law?"

Before Katuro could answer, Brolin continued, "Impressive! Truly impressive! To gain recognition from the fundamental laws at the Hengxing level! This talent, if not unprecedented, is certainly unparalleled!"

"Caturlo!"

"Your Highness, I'm here..."

Brolin coldly gazed towards the Three Axe Mountain camp and gave the order:

"We've already made enemies with him. Even if I apologize in person, he's very likely to refuse! And it would be extremely difficult to capture him alive here."

"You immediately take a small squad, equipped with D-grade laser cannons and laser guns, and leave the Inner Realm now. Enter the Thunder World and lie in ambush. When the main force withdraws and returns to the Thunder World, snipe the captain of Three Axe Mountain and that kid!"

Catullo bowed his head and accepted the order, "Yes, Your Highness."

He left the main hall, then led a small team, quietly departing the camp and flying towards the exit of the realm within a realm...
