Chapter 1458: New Chapter

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

If the G.o.d’s soul won, then there would be a major problem. The b.l.o.o.d.y Lich would be down, but a terrifying G.o.d that was at the peak of level 49 would be born. He might even surpa.s.s level 50 very soon.

If the b.l.o.o.d.y Lich won, then he might really become a lich that didn’t have any weakness. n.o.body would be able to stop him. He might reach level 50 too, and the flaws of his soul would be fixed…

Either way, there seemed to be major problems.

What Lin Yun had seen in the Kingdom of Nightmares proved that all G.o.ds were major problems. They didn’t die completely in the age of G.o.ds, and their hatred pa.s.sed on to the Nesser Dynasty, which also fell because of the G.o.ds’ grievances.

That was never recorded in history. After learning that the Great Elf King and the 13 dragon kings were all reborn G.o.ds, Lin Yun was astounded.

He finally understood why the Three-Headed Golden Dragon was as strong as a G.o.d. Those guys were reborn G.o.ds that carried the best bloodlines after rebirth. After they regained their strength, they would be as strong as G.o.ds, except for the lack of power of chaos.

Lin Yun didn’t know whether there were reborn G.o.ds in this age, but he was pretty certain that some of them had existed for a long time.

The 73rd G.o.d had perished even before she was successfully born. Her soul was torn apart again and again, yet she was still able to be reborn. The other G.o.ds had to be similar.

Some of the 72 G.o.ds had certainly completely perished, such as the Lord of Wisdom. There were also G.o.ds that couldn’t possibly be reborn, such as the Lord of War and the Lord of Death.

Lin Yun had absorbed Constance’s source of power and wisdom, so the Lord of Death was absolutely dead. The Lord of Death’s source of power was scattered across the entire Plane of the Undead, so it was impossible for him to be reborn.

But some others could certainly be reborn. There was just no telling where and who they were…

Those guys had lived and died again and again. Their grievances were so profound that when any of them was exposed, their enemies would be exposed too. Then, their enemies’ enemies would be exposed…

Then, the G.o.ds would continue fighting each other as they did in the age of G.o.ds. Chances were that Noscent would be shattered again…

Considering how to take care of the tricky problem, Lin Yun opened his Natural Demiplane, only to be astounded by what happened inside.

The Natural Demiplane was like a real world, with a blue sky and white clouds. The laws of earth, fire, water, and wind had completely evolved. They were no different from those of a real world.

The law of darkness had evolved too. The law of light, which he had been waiting for, had taken shape as well. The roots and trunk of the tree that was the law of light had appeared. All he needed to do was wait for the leaves to grow.

Now that the trunk existed, all he needed to do was to wait for a while longer.

As Lin Yun’s level increased, the pillar that accommodated his understanding of laws grew taller and taller. There were 20% fewer truth runes on the pillar too. They had been comprehended, and melted into the pillar.

The earth became vaster and thicker, and the ocean was broader and deeper. Some fish and algae were already born in the ocean, making it less monotonous. They were all creatures that had naturally evolved in the Natural Demiplane.

There were more and more living creatures on earth too. Unfortunately, most of them were unintelligent low-level creatures. For intelligent creatures to be born, he had to wait for the law of light to evolve, and Lin Yun’s own understanding had to rise higher.

He was already able to learn the law of light. Thanks to the power of the Source Chapter, it was very easy to understand the power of laws.

More importantly, the Source Chapter contained the mysteries of life. Understanding the mysteries was the key to the birth of intelligent creatures in the Demiplane.

Lin Yun flew to the peak of the pillar, and began to continue understanding truth runes. The problem he was faced with was too complicated, so the best way to solve it was to learn the truth runes.

The truth runes were said to contain all the truths in the world and all mysteries of alchemy. There might be a solution to the issue of the b.l.o.o.d.y Lich’s soul in there.

Lin Yun was already in level 7 of the Heaven Rank, so it was easier for him to grasp the truth runes. The learning was even faster with the help of the Ten Thousand Spell Wheel.

The truth runes were understood by Lin Yun, and melted into the pillar one after another, making the pillar yet higher and stabler. The entire Natural Demiplane became even steadier thanks to the pressure of the pillar.

After grasping another 10,000 truth runes, Lin Yun felt that it was more difficult for him to continue. The efficiency of his learning had plummeted.

Unfortunately, even though he had picked up a lot of knowledge from the truth runes, it didn’t really help him find a way to eliminate the b.l.o.o.d.y Lich’s soul.

The only benefit was that his level was completely stabilized. He even reached the middle stage of level 7 of the Heaven Rank. His understanding of laws became smoother.

His expertise in earth, fire, water, and wind improved the fastest as those laws had already been perfected in the Natural Demiplane. His understanding of the law of darkness had reached level 7 of the Heaven Rank too. Although his understanding of the law of light had risen smoothly, there hadn’t been enough time. His progress on the law of s.p.a.ce was the slowest.

But there was a shortcut in that aspect. The Floating Fruit that was planted next to the Mana Lake had ripened several times, and the trees had grown into an orchard. Many ripe fruits were hanging. When he swallowed a Floating Fruit, a piece of law of s.p.a.ce would be absorbed by him.

Thanks to the experience of absorbing death marks, Lin Yun didn’t find such a method weird at all. Everything went surprisingly well.

He had made a lot of preparations, but he didn’t find a reliable method to take care of the b.l.o.o.d.y Lich’s soul.

He finally realized why the b.l.o.o.d.y Lich was not anxious when his soul was under someone else’s control. It was because his soul couldn’t be destroyed.

That guy had thrown his soul to the Kingdom of Nightmares not to hide it, but only to seal the G.o.dly part of his soul…

Lin Yun opened the Book of Death, whose pages automatically turned. There seemed to be some sort of power that was turning it to the page of the G.o.d’s soul.

However, when the Book of Death was turned to the page before the G.o.d’s soul, it stopped. The G.o.d’s soul on the next page tried to turn it, but it failed.

The left page of the book was the Chapter of the Dead, and the right page was the Chapter of Blood. When both of them appeared, something unexpected happened.

The power of death and the power of life were on the two sides of the book, colliding and resonating.

A skeleton’s illusory projection appeared on the left side, and a baby’s projection similarly appeared on the right side. When death and life collided, a terrifying aura popped up from the Book of Death.

Gradually, the two powers reached a balance. An ancient scale, which switched between black and white, and turned gray eventually, surfaced between them.

The skeleton was standing on the scale’s left side, and the baby was on its right side. The scale remained balanced no matter how the two sides changed.

The powers stopped surging. The skeleton and the baby were both back to peace, and returned to the page as light. The ancient gray scale, which emitted a strange aura, didn’t vanish.

Another page was turned. All the previous chapters seemed to be pushed by an invisible force, and moved backwards by one page, leaving the first chapter empty. The scale then disappeared into the first chapter.

The G.o.d’s soul that was trying to break out was unable to resist at all. It was easily pushed back to the next page.

The ancient scale was melted into the first chapter in the form of a pattern of a scale. It was not until this moment that Lin Yun received the message from the Book of Death.

It was actually a new chapter…

When the Origin Chapter, the Source Chapter, the Chapter of the Dead, and the Chapter of Blood were collected, if the Chapter of the Dead and the Chapter of Blood’s auras collided, a new chapter would be created.

It was the Chapter of Balance…

It was a new component that didn’t have a real ent.i.ty. It was itself an embodiment of laws, and wouldn’t appear until it was activated.

That was the first chapter of the Book of Death. The other chapters would have to make room for the first chapter when the Chapter of Balance appeared.

The Chapter of Balance had only one ability, which was balance. Balance was of critical importance for anything and any law to exist and develop. They couldn’t thrive without balance.

If a mage’s power was imbalanced, his mana would surge. The terrible consequences of magic recoil emerged exactly because the balance was broken by violence.

When the elemental power of the world was imbalanced, elemental storms would rise. When cold and heat were imbalanced, wind would rise and bring new balance.

When the power of life was gone, and the power of death dominated, living creatures would turn into undead creatures. Their souls would turn into soul fires, keeping the vulnerable balance.

Complicated information was delivered into Lin Yun’s head, but there was no description as to how to use the Chapter of Balance.. It was only an explanation of the Chapter of Balance and the rules of balance.
