Ten days passed quietly within Elysium.
During those ten days, the entire world experienced invisible changes beneath the surface. News regarding the gathering at the silver castle spread across every hegemonic territory at terrifying speed. Although nobody knew the exact details of what had happened there, one fact became universally acknowledged among the upper powers of Elysium.
Null and the Village Chief had surpassed ordinary level five hundred beings.
And behind their transformation stood Ethan.
That single realization was enough to shake countless ancient factions.
Inside Ethan’s manor, silence filled the spacious room while dense law fluctuations circulated continuously through the air. Ethan remained seated calmly on the bed with his eyes closed. Golden and black streams of light revolved around his body endlessly while his damaged nervous system slowly reconstructed itself.
Cracks of invisible energy occasionally spread across the surrounding space before disappearing again.
Then finally, Ethan opened his eyes.
The terrifying pressure surrounding his body stabilized instantly afterward.
His paralysis had completely disappeared.
Ethan slowly stood up from the bed before flexing his fingers slightly. The backlash from Infinite Ascension had been severe enough to cripple even supreme existences permanently, yet his recovery speed remained absurdly monstrous.
His body had already returned to perfect condition.
At that moment, Rose entered the room quietly while carrying several documents in her hand. The moment she saw Ethan standing normally again, the tension in her expression visibly eased.
"Congratulations on your recovery."
Ethan nodded calmly.
Rose walked closer afterward before handing him the documents.
"The hegemons never left," she said. "In fact, more arrived during the last ten days."
Ethan glanced through the reports briefly.
The original forty supreme existences had now increased to over one hundred.
Many of them had traveled across impossible distances after hearing rumors regarding Null’s transformation. Others simply wished to verify the truth personally.
Nobody wanted to miss an opportunity capable of breaking Elysium’s limits.
Ethan placed the documents aside afterward.
"Interesting."
Several minutes later, Ethan arrived at the grand palace once again.
The atmosphere there had completely changed compared to before.
Over one hundred supreme existences now occupied the massive hall, yet absolute silence dominated the surroundings the moment Ethan entered. Every gaze immediately turned toward him.
Fear.
Respect.
Curiosity.
Reverence.
Countless emotions mixed together within those eyes.
None of them dared underestimate him anymore after Velzard’s disappearance.
Ethan calmly walked toward the throne at the center of the hall while Null and the Village Chief stood quietly nearby. Both of them radiated noticeably stronger law fluctuations now compared to ten days ago.
Their Law Strands had clearly grown further.
The moment Ethan sat down, the entire hall became even quieter.
Then Ethan finally spoke calmly.
"Are you all ready to merge with power?"
The question echoed clearly throughout the palace.
Not a single person hesitated.
Boom.
More than one hundred supreme existences immediately knelt simultaneously.
"We are willing, sir."
"Please grant us the honor."
Their voices shook the entire palace loudly.
The scene appeared almost unreal.
These were the absolute rulers of Elysium. Any one of them possessed enough power to destroy continents casually, yet all of them now bowed respectfully before Ethan without the slightest resistance.
Because they had already witnessed reality itself changing.
Ethan observed them silently for several moments before nodding lightly.
"Very well."
The next moment, endless streams of law fluctuations spread outward from Ethan’s body.
Countless invisible connections formed instantly between him and the gathered supremes. One after another, system notifications continuously appeared before Ethan’s eyes.
[Believer added.]
[Believer added.]
[Believer added.]
The numbers rose endlessly.
At the same time, the gathered supremes immediately sensed terrifying changes occurring within their bodies. Tiny Law Strands slowly manifested inside them while their perception toward existence transformed completely.
Shock rapidly appeared across the hall.
Several supremes even trembled visibly after sensing genuine laws for the first time in their lives.
"This is real..."
"My god..."
"So this is true law..."
Some of them nearly lost composure entirely.
Then the atmosphere changed once again.
One after another, spatial rings began floating toward Ethan continuously.
"This contains eight billion Origin Coins."
"I offer twelve billion."
"Fifteen billion from my treasury."
"My clan offers thirty billion Origin Coins."
The offerings rapidly increased.
The gathered hegemonic rulers no longer hesitated at all. Compared to true transcendence, Origin Coins suddenly seemed insignificant.
Within minutes, mountains of wealth had already accumulated before Ethan.
Even Null and the Village Chief looked stunned by the scale.
Ethan himself remained calm throughout the process.
After accepting the final spatial ring, he finally waved his hand lightly.
"You may begin cultivating your laws immediately. However, remember this carefully."
His gaze swept across everyone present.
"Blind dependence on Enlightenment Points will weaken your future comprehension. Use them wisely, not recklessly."
Everyone immediately nodded respectfully.
"Yes, Lord Ethan."
Their attitudes had completely transformed now.
At this moment, Ethan had already become the center of a brand new cultivation system.
A path beyond Elysium itself.
After finishing the ceremony, Ethan did not remain inside the palace for long. He simply left the remaining matters to Null and the Village Chief before returning toward his manor calmly.
The moment he entered his cultivation room, countless notifications exploded before his eyes instantly.
[Faith increased.]
[Believer count increased.]
[Law authority expanding.]
[Law Strand growth accelerated.]
Dense law fluctuations erupted throughout the room uncontrollably.
Ethan slowly sat down cross legged afterward while observing the changes calmly. The amount of faith flowing toward him now had already reached a terrifying scale.
More importantly, these were not ordinary believers.
Every single one of them stood among the strongest beings in Elysium.
Their influence spread across the entire world.
And because of the indirect connection effect of the Law System, more people throughout Elysium could now connect to Ethan’s Law through those already linked to him.
The expansion speed became terrifying.
Ethan quietly observed his rapidly increasing Law Strand before speaking calmly.
"Yumiko, evolution points should be coming in bulk, right?"
Yumiko’s soft voice immediately echoed within his mind.
[Yes, Master. With the current pace, your Law Strand will reach level one hundred thirty within ten days.]
She paused briefly before continuing.
[And then it will take its final form.]
Ethan’s eyes narrowed slightly afterward.
Final form.
That phrase alone carried enormous meaning.
Yumiko continued calmly.
"As for your level, you will be able to break through alongside your Law Strand. You simply need to spend sufficient time inside the Time Field."
Ethan nodded slowly.
That result matched his expectations.
His cultivation path differed fundamentally from ordinary beings. His strength depended heavily on the evolution of his Law Strand and the expansion of his authority itself.
Now, with over one hundred supreme existences connected to him directly, his growth speed had become absurd.
Especially because those supremes themselves would continue spreading the system throughout Elysium.
Faith would grow endlessly.
Origin Coins would continue flowing toward him.
And his Law Strand would continue evolving.
Everything had already entered a positive cycle.
Ethan slowly exhaled afterward before contacting the Village Chief directly through law communication.
"I need the materials prepared."
The response arrived almost instantly.
"I will arrive immediately, Lord Ethan."
Several seconds later, space distorted softly inside the cultivation room. The Village Chief stepped out respectfully while carrying several sealed containers behind him.
His attitude had become noticeably more reverent compared to before.
"These are all the materials you requested," he said carefully.
Ethan examined the containers silently.
Inside them rested several terrifying treasures capable of shaking Elysium completely if exposed publicly. Each material contained extremely dense law fluctuations and ancient energy signatures.
Void Crystal Essence.
Abyssal Star Iron.
World Vein Fragments.
Law Source Liquid.
Even Ethan needed to spend four billion Origin Coins to purchase everything together.
They were that precious.
The Village Chief carefully placed the materials down afterward.
"Gathering them required contacting several hidden territories," he explained respectfully. "Fortunately, nobody dared refuse after hearing your name."
Ethan simply nodded calmly.
"Good."
After the Village Chief left, silence returned to the room once again.
Then the surrounding space suddenly distorted softly.
A silver cube slowly floated outward from Ethan’s soul space before stopping in front of him.
The cube rotated gently while releasing faint spatial fluctuations continuously.
It was Nini.
Ethan looked toward the cube quietly for several moments.
"You will be needed soon," he said calmly.
The cube vibrated slightly as though responding emotionally.
A faint smile appeared on Ethan’s face afterward.
"Nini," he said softly, "let’s upgrade you."
