“So that’s how it is…” Bai An had a new understanding of the sensation in his hand and the instinctive throbbing feeling, “Does the law follow the heart?” This thought flashed through his mind, and he closed his eyes silently.

His true spirit began to surge in his body, circulating at an unimaginable speed. He quickly checked his entire body and tested his own Dao Foundation.

He had undergone a new transformation, and his vision had changed after becoming a Heavenly Venerate. His Dao Foundation, which he had thought was flawless before his advancement, now had a lot of room for improvement, though it wasn’t full of mistakes.

Bai An could not wait any longer at this moment. He wanted to find a place to seclude himself and make up for his Dao Foundation to a flawless degree. However, he did not do so immediately but instead looked at the ancient sword in his hand.

The ancient sword in his hand was glowing. It had transcended with him during the previous lightning catastrophe. The Sword Spirit had merged and transferred its power to Bai An. That feeling was unique, and its power was also mighty.

Bai An felt that he was still not as good as before, even though he had completed his advancement and became a Heavenly Venerate. The ancient sword’s level was higher than he had imagined. It could reach the Heavenly Venerate level by itself and be even stronger than he was now.

After transcending the Armed Catastrophe, like Bai An, the ancient sword had also fallen into a profound transformation. At this moment, the Sword Spirit inside seemed to be transforming silently.

Bai An casually sensed it. As expected, his ability to control the ancient sword had improved, and he could borrow more power from the ancient sword than before transcending the catastrophe.

However, he was still unable to enter the state he was in before transcending the catastrophe, even if he wanted to. That required the cooperation of the ancient sword’s Sword Spirit. Bai An alone could not do it at this moment.

Bai An looked at the surrounding land. The previous lightning catastrophe was massive. Even though the power was locked onto Bai An and the ancient sword, some escaped to the surrounding, causing damage to the magic formation in this secret realm.

Bai An was probably the only one who could repair the damage, “Looks like I’ll have a lot of work to do in the future…” Thinking about what he might have to experience in the future, Bai An shook his head and smiled.

Bai An’s transformation had ended after transcending the lightning catastrophe. After repairing the magic formation, Bai An held an extravaganza to inform the world of his breakthrough and advancement before entering seclusion again to prepare himself for the next transformation.

On the other side, Chen Heng’s transformation had just begun.

Boom!

Law runes cohered and flickered in Chen Heng’s body, then quickly dimmed like an extinguishing star. In this way, a mysterious and unique power emerged from within, bringing a brand new power of creation to the ancient sword, allowing it to improve slowly.

Bai An’s gains were huge in the previous Heavenly Catastrophe. However, it was the same for Chen Heng. The lightning catastrophe in this world was an instinctive manifestation of the laws of heaven and earth, and it was also a great natural creation. The power of creation contained within the lightning mainly was formed from the Power of Origin of heaven and earth, and it was of great help to Chen Heng at this moment.

Therefore, he entered a profound transformation and began to improve further after transcending the catastrophe.

Runes of Dao Principles flickered and rapidly appeared, which were then continuously reorganized in his body, transforming into brand new imprints that were exceptionally unique and mystical.

Chen Heng sat quietly, enlightened in this hazy, dark space. He had gained a lot, not only from the lightning catastrophe but also from Bai An. Bai An and the ancient sword merged in the previous lightning catastrophe, and the two Dao Principles resonated with each other.

This was the state of being one with the sword. In this state, the two Dao Principles would resonate and communicate with each other. Although Bai An could gain a lot from Chen Heng, Chen Heng could also gain a lot from Bai An’s transformation, which was unexpected.

Bai An’s current level was not weak. He was equivalent to a seventh rank Heavenly Venerate. He was not weak even in the world of Gods, and his strength was mighty.

The insights and Dao principles of such an existence were an excellent supplement for Chen Heng. This also made Chen Heng have more thoughts.

The insights and Dao Principles of a seventh rank existence had given Chen Heng such considerable harvest, ‘What if there were more seventh or even eighth rank existences?’ This thought flashed through his mind.

Dao Principles and insights were things that belonged to oneself and could not be taken away by others. However, through the resonance between the Sword Spirit and the sword master, Chen Heng could comprehend the sword master’s Dao differently and absorb its essence. It was equivalent to transforming into the sword master and walking his path. One could imagine the gains from this.

‘Perhaps it was precisely why the divine weapons in this world were so keen to find a weapon master, to share their insights and Dao principles.’ This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.

After that, he closed his eyes and continued his enlightenment to improve himself. He discovered some things that he had not previously discovered during this process. He had also absorbed a large portion of the power of creation in the lightning.

After all, the previous lightning catastrophe was vast, and most of it was formed from Chen Heng’s Armed Catastrophe. Therefore, the power of creation that belonged to Chen Heng was considerable and dense.

This power of creation was absorbed into Chen Heng’s body and slowly merged with the Dao Principles in his body, causing the Dao Principles to transform gradually and also causing some sort of existence in his body to change.

Divinity. Surprisingly, the power that changed the power of creation was the power of divinity. Divinity was the remnant of the Gods in the world of Gods. It was a standard that only existences who had ascended to the domain of Gods had.

Chen Heng could have it in the past because of the simulator’s power, directly transforming and bringing it into his body. Besides receiving faith and converting it into divine power, divinity rarely played any other role in Chen Heng’s body and would not have any reaction toward other things.

However, these divinities had a considerable reaction toward the power of creation in this world, giving birth to an instinctive desire. Even existences like divinities were very eager to obtain the power of creation in this world.

Chen Heng pondered this reaction of divinities and then tried to inject the power of creation into it, and tremendous changes began to occur. After obtaining the power of creation, divinities began to transform spontaneously, gradually producing massive changes.

Divinities grew stronger, and the power within began to rise and slowly become active. Once the divinity and the power of creation met, there was immediately some kind of chemical reaction, and an unknown strange change took place.

“It can be like this…” Chen Heng was also somewhat surprised by the change in divinity.

The divinity was the cohesion of the Power of Laws, which was a cohesion of the law that only happened to existences at God’s level. Those not at God’s level are not even allowed to touch divinity.

Chen Heng also relied on the power of the simulation device to transform divinity into his own. It was not that Chen Heng did not have the idea to study divinity in the past, but the final result was a failure, no matter how he tried. Existences like divinity were exclusive to Gods. Regardless of what method was used to stimulate and influence, it could not make divinity react.

Chen Heng gave up on this experiment as time passed. However, the power of creation in this world could make the divinity react now, which raised some thoughts in Chen Heng’s mind, giving him an impulse to continue his research.

“The nature of the power of creation in this world is still the combination of the world’s power and the Power of Laws…” Chen Heng thought to himself, “So, the pure power of the world and the Power of the Laws is what makes the divinity react?”

This was very likely. Chen Heng had also tried combining the power of the world and the divinity in the past.

Although the divinity reacted, the reaction was too weak, far from being as strong as it was now. Now that Chen Heng thought about it, it was probably because it lacked the specific Power of Laws, while the world’s power itself was not strong enough.

After all, the essence of divinity was the gathering of laws. Therefore, it could not be lacking the pure power of laws. This was indeed the case, as he thought about it carefully.

Chen Heng had once absorbed the Power of Laws of that world in the mutated world in the past. Through the power conversion of the simulation device, it finally combined with the original divinity to form a brand-new slaughter divinity.

Therefore, the high-purity Power of Laws was necessary for the coercion of divinity. Chen Heng could not help but have a sudden realization knowing this. Of course, although he felt that he had already found the direction, it did not mean that it was easy. After all, it was not so easy to find things in this world, whether it was the world’s power or the pure Power of Laws.

The world’s power was still easy to find. Chen Heng himself controlled several worlds, and he had the avatars in the initial world, which could provide a constant supply of the world’s power. However, the high-purity Power of Laws was not as easy to find. He could only slowly find it in the later worlds.

“However, from this point of view, the cultivation after the ninth rank would probably have to purify one’s own laws and deduce a single law to an extremely pure level…” This thought flashed through Chen Heng’s mind.

High-purity Power of Laws was extremely rare, no matter which world it was. Presumably, it was also the same in the world of Gods.

Yet, the cohesion of divinity could not lack the high-purity Power of Laws.

So, how did the Gods cohere their divinity?
