Chapter 344 -344-Kelly’s True Identity
Whoosh—!
The scene before Kelly’s eyes suddenly changed, as though an invisible hand had lifted a curtain.
Her eyes were filled with astonishment.
She had clearly reached the end of her life, lying on a sickbed, surrounded by the low hum of medical instruments and the suppressed sobs of her loved ones.
Yet at this moment, another Door of Truth had appeared before her!
It was exactly the same as the one she had pushed open all those years ago. Even the patterns of star trajectories and spacetime rifts engraved upon the door were identical, without the slightest difference.
But this time, she did not want to push it open.
"I..."
She lowered her head and looked at her own body in shock.
It had actually returned to the appearance of her youth, with smooth skin and an upright posture.
"What kind of place is this now?"
She looked around, but all she could see was chaos.
A gray, hazy void.
There was no sky, no earth, no stars, and no wind.
The only light came from a river not far away, flowing quietly.
That river was incomparably vast, as though all the secrets of the universe were hidden beneath its surface.
Beside the river, a figure holding a fishing rod sat above the water, completely motionless.
Kelly gathered her courage and slowly walked over.
"Your Excellency, may I ask... what is this place?"
As she drew closer, she finally saw what was inside the river.
It was not water!
Within it, endless living beings were born, grew, withered, and perished...
Countless stars and universes were extinguished within it, then reborn from the ashes.
It was a long river woven from space and time.
Every wave was an era.
Every ripple was a stretch of fate.
This was the Time River!
The figure slowly turned around.
"The Door of Truth is right before you. Why will you not push it open again?"
"Kelly."
Kelly froze.
Before her was a face exactly identical to her own.
It was like a mirror reflecting another version of herself!
"You are..."
Kelly was stunned, as though something had blocked her throat.
"I... am you!"
The angler raised the fishing rod in her hand. There was only a thin line hanging from it into the Time River, and no one knew what she was fishing for.
"You are a strand of my true self."
Boom—!
Kelly was completely stunned, as though the entire world had collapsed beneath her feet.
...
Daniel put away that Law Essence.
The essence contained the Law of Fated Reincarnation, and its Law level had reached high-grade!
This was a full level higher than the Law of Causality he currently mastered.
Of course, he could choose to use this essence directly and thereby master both reincarnation and causality at the same time, becoming a controller of two Laws in one stroke.
However, the detailed description of the Law Essence had already stated it clearly.
It was more suitable for constructing a sage rank, just like a cornerstone to a palace.
Thinking of this, he decided to keep the essence for constructing his sage rank later.
As for raising the grade of his Laws themselves, that could be done through deduction.
Daniel had not actually done much killing, so his collection progress for Primal Spirit had not been particularly fast.
After all, the powerhouses he encountered in the starsea were not necessarily of primordial race bloodlines. It was far less efficient and convenient than when he had slaughtered his way through the God Realm.
This time, after killing a group of peak demi-sages and adding his previous accumulation, he had barely managed to gather ten billion Primal Spirit.
It just happened to reach the threshold for deducing a Law.
[Ding! You have consumed 10 billion Primal Spirit. Forbidden Law deduction in progress...]
[Ding! You have obtained Law of Causality. Detected that you have already mastered this Law. Would you like to fuse it? After fusion, this Law will advance to a higher level.]
Daniel did not hesitate.
"Fuse!"
[Ding! Fusion successful! You have obtained high-grade Law of Causality!]
[High-grade Law of Causality]
Grade: High-grade rare Law
Effect: Obtain the power of high-grade Law of Causality, greatly increasing the defensive and offensive capabilities of the Law of Causality, as though forging a wooden sword into a blade of stars.
Traits:
[Cause Begets Effect]: The power of low-grade Law of Causality. Trace the cause and alter the effect.
[Effect Becomes Cause]: The power of mid-grade Law of Causality. Place the effect before the cause and reverse fate.
[Effect, Cause, Effect]: The power of high-grade Law of Causality. Causes the target to bear the karma carried by beings connected to oneself through causal lines. This karma can be transformed into [Evil Consequences]—and [Evil Consequences] can stack!
Special Note: Those who manipulate fate and causality will also be trapped by them!
The higher the grade of the Fated Law of Causality used, the greater the price that must be paid. It is like two edges of the same blade, cutting the enemy while also cutting oneself.
Introduction: High-grade Law of Causality, an advanced Law power mastered by powerhouses above the peak of Divine-grade. It is like a key leading to the hall of supreme-grade.
Mastering Laws is an unavoidable threshold on the path of the strong. No one is exempt!
...
After Daniel finished reading the traits of the advanced Law of Causality, his eyes flickered slightly.
The abilities after the Law of Causality’s advancement were simply heaven-defying to an extreme.
As for negative effects like backlash and consumption, he was not afraid of them at all.
After all, no matter how severe the backlash was, could it be worse than blowing himself into powder?
As for the punishment involving Fortune Points, he felt that his Fortune Points were inexhaustible. Being able to reasonably use his Fortune Points to offset the cost of Law usage was acceptable.
Compared to the positive abilities of the Law, that little bit of backlash could be ignored.
Especially the third trait—
"Effect, Cause, Effect."
It was absurdly powerful.
To put it plainly, when he encountered a troublesome enemy, he only needed to drag a group of Oracle-grade beings on his own causal lines into the matter!
Who could withstand a blow of that level?
Daniel felt as though his entire body was filled with energy, as though he could shatter a galaxy with one punch.
In an excellent mood, he continued searching through this plane.
Before long, he had nearly swept clean all the good things in the violet plane. His divine energy broke through to three trillion points, bringing him another large step closer to his small goal of ten trillion.
At that moment—
Boom!
The entire plane suddenly shook violently, as though an invisible giant hand had grabbed this stretch of heaven and earth and was shaking it madly.
Daniel’s expression changed drastically.
"What’s going on?"
"Could something have happened to the Astral Realm?"
His brows furrowed tightly.
Seeing that this place had already fallen into complete chaos, he decisively flew out of the plane.
Whoosh—!
Daniel hovered in the void outside the Astral Realm.
Only then did he discover that all seven great planes were trembling, like seven petals being torn apart by a violent wind.
Countless demi-sages flew out from their respective planes one after another, scattering like startled birds.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh...!
"What’s happening? Are the planes about to collapse?"
"I don’t know either! I was still digging out a divine mine and almost got buried inside!"
"Look—deep inside the Astral Realm! The disturbance is coming from there!"
The Astral Realm itself was shaped like a flower, with the seven great planes surrounding it like blooming petals.
At the center was an independent plane, covered layer upon layer by dense seven-colored radiance, like a veiled young woman attracting the gazes of countless powerhouses.
Unfortunately, without a Scroll of Astral Prosperity, no one could even think of stepping inside.
At this moment, the central plane of the Astral Realm was shaking violently. Seven-colored radiance flickered unsteadily, like a sleeping beast turning over in its dreams, triggering a powerful resonance across all seven great planes!
