In the blink of an eye, another year had passed.
The Great Dao Sect had already taken root in the Mountain Sea Great World. Not including the Human Race, there were dozens of ordinary forces that had attached themselves to the Great Dao Sect, and most of them were originally subordinate forces of the Federation of Seven Luminaries.
The amount of resources they paid tribute every year was not small. It was equivalent to the annual income of a continent on Planet Origin. Great Lord Tang had finally realized his dream of earning money while lying down.
Other than building a few more cities around the Great Dao City, the Great Dao Sect did not expand its influence. It only opened a few more Jubao Pavilion branches.
Although Tang Yu was a bit lazy, his avatar was still working hard to understand the law. He didn't forget that the Devil Race was still a sword hanging over his head.
It was just that after gaining a basic understanding of the Laws, they became more and more obscure and difficult to understand. Over the past year, his comprehension of the Laws had not improved much.
His cultivation was stuck at the pinnacle of Unity realm. The bottleneck had already loosened and he only needed a slight opportunity to break through. It was useless for him to be anxious.
Tang Yu turned his attention to the sacred tool.
In the past year, Xiao Chen had refined the saint artifact even more thoroughly. Furthermore, he had comprehended some of the runes on the saint artifact, allowing him to use it even more smoothly.
For example, he divided the degree of control of the Heaven and Earth Lock into three levels.
If one did not understand the laws, forcefully controlling the enemy to a level that did not make it to the next level, one could only simply draw the enemy into the Heaven and Earth Spatial Lock, and the barrier was not strong.
After touching the threshold of the Law of Space, one would be able to instantly unleash the Heaven and Earth Spatial Lock, dividing and suppressing enemies within the space. This was the first level — the first level could directly kill ordinary Unity experts.
At the Entry Stage of the Law of Space, one would be able to use the second level of the 'Heaven and Earth Lock', which was enough to instantly kill a peak Unity Realm expert and weaken a Deity Domain Realm expert. Even a peak Deity Domain Realm expert would find it hard to break through.
He had previously mastered the second level.
The space of the third level, the Heaven and Earth Lock, was even more stable. Even an invincible God domain expert would find it difficult to break it. Furthermore, it could divide the space into thousands of pieces, trap the enemy, and continuously whittle away at the enemy's essence.
After a year of research and comprehension, he had unearthed all the potential of the Heaven and Earth Lock.
"The Heaven and Earth Lock has the ability to trap, suppress, divide, and so on. Unfortunately, it has too many abilities, causing each of its abilities to not be considered top-notch … In terms of trapping enemies, it is far inferior to the sacred weapon, Ice Cry."
But it was enough.
If word got out that the Da Dao Sect possessed a divine weapon, it would shock countless strong cultivators.
However..,
Tang Yu felt that he was stuck in a bottleneck. It was difficult to improve in a short time. He was a little annoyed.
"Ding dong!"
Tang Yu's face lit up. He closed his eyes, and his consciousness appeared in the "Spiritual Space."
He was using "administrator authority," and with a sweep of his gaze, he could see the essence of the "mental space."
In the middle was a huge bubble with a bustling city looming in it. Around the huge bubble, there were tens of millions of small dots that looked like drifting gravel belts. That was the personal space of each user.
Around it, there was a slightly smaller bubble, which was divided into many regions. Every second, many new regions were formed and many regions were disappearing. They represented the Practice Space, Infinite Mode, Trial Pagoda, and other functions.
Outside the bubble was an endless gray fog, just like the gray fog around the transit area in the early days before the "mental space" was updated.
However, when an ordinary user touched the gray fog, their consciousness would be ejected. But Tang Yu could freely roam in the gray fog under the 'Privilege Dog Mode'. He could even consume energy to build a new bubble area.
But now, for powerhouses like them, apart from occasionally simulating battles between powerhouses of the same level, the spiritual space only had the function of entertainment.
Whether it was the realm or the improvement of combat power, it was now more focused on the comprehension of the law.
And the comprehension of the law needed time.
Tang Yu himself didn't dare to think that his comprehension was far superior to other God Realm powerhouses. If he could cultivate to the God Realm, his aptitude and comprehension weren't bad. His rapid progress in comprehending the law was only because of the Trial Pagoda and the Law Crystal.
But it still took time.
In theory, the Saint-rank powerhouses didn't have much of an advantage in comprehending the law compared to the God Realm powerhouses. But the Saint-rank powerhouses had an unlimited lifespan. They had enough time to retreat, comprehend the law, and perfect their magical power.
Time was everything.
And he was short of time.
Since a few years ago, Tang Yu had been trying to solve the problem of not having enough time.
From the information obtained from the Sacred City, Tang Yu noticed that the Saints with high attainments in the law of time could change the flow of time in a small area and maintain it for a period of time.
With some precious treasures, they could even solidify the area where the flow of time changed.
There should be such a space on Planet Origin.
But Tang Yu sorted out the resources in his hands.
Precious materials with the law of time? No.
Even if there were, the materials that could build a room could be used to forge N holy tools with the power of time.
He wasn't that extravagant.
A Saint with high attainments in the law of time? Also no!
He barely touched the threshold of the law of time. Shang Gong Ling's understanding of the law of time was deeper, but she hadn't reached the threshold. There were too few fragments of the law of time!
After overturning countless settings, Tang Yu was a little tempted to give up when he suddenly thought of the spiritual space.
The spiritual space wasn't an ordinary virtual space. There was no upper limit to the power it could carry. Even the law could be fully materialized. Of course, the premise was that he understood it or had the corresponding item.
He simulated an area that could carry the power of time and replicated countless time law fragments. In the outside world, he only had a total of two. But the power of the spiritual space, he could have unlimited fragments as long as he had enough energy to replicate.
But unfortunately, he could only replicate existing laws. No matter how many there were, he couldn't build a complete law of time.
Using the crystallization of the law of time fragments as materials, Tang Yu created a palace of about 200 square meters and 10 meters high.
Shang Gong Ling exerted her ability to affect the flow of time. In just a moment, the spiritual space could simulate it.
But Shang Gong Ling's attainments in the law of time weren't enough. He linked the spiritual space to the Research Institute and deduced it for many years. Every few months, Shang Gong Ling's understanding of the law improved and came here to inject power. Year after year, Tang Yu almost gave up.
Suddenly, he received a prompt tone that he had set earlier.
Tang Yu shuttled through the gray mist.
A moment later, a little light appeared in the area where the gray mist was particularly dense.
It was a small palace, about the size of a three-story villa. It was not exquisite and had a square appearance. In front of the building, there was a light door that looked like a whirlpool.
Tang Yu walked in.
In an instant, he felt that his thinking had become very fast.
But it wasn't that his thinking had become faster, it was that the flow of time had slowed down!
His consciousness in the outside world rotated for one second, and his consciousness in the palace had passed for five seconds!
A time multiplier of five to one!
Success!
But this was only the first step. Tang Yu used his' authority dog 'identity to let the' spiritual space 'record the palace.
Then …
His body in the outside world walked into the 'Enlightenment City' where countless law steles were built. He stretched out his hand and pressed on one of the steles that had the complete Law of Burning.
At this moment, the same stele appeared in the small palace.
The air became hot, as if he was in a sea of fire, and the flow of time fluctuated violently.
BOOM!
Silently, Tang Yu's consciousness was taken out of the 'spiritual space'.
He 'died' once, and he 'died' completely, and he couldn't be resurrected in the 'spiritual space'.
"There's a conflict between the laws."
Tang Yu rubbed his temples.
In the 'Enlightenment City', the law steles were placed far apart from each other.
But in the 'spiritual space', it was necessary to first simulate the small palace that could change the flow of time. It was originally composed of incomplete laws. Adding the Law of Burning to the Law of Time … Tang Yu didn't dare to try it in reality.
The conflict caused the disorder of the laws, and the root of everything was changed. It was normal for a planet to turn into dust.
After a few minutes, Tang Yu entered the spiritual space again and copied the small palace that had been backed up before.
He thought about it.
This time, he didn't directly copy the law stele. Instead, he stretched out his finger, and a cluster of glass flame ignited on his fingertip.
The space was distorted, and the flow of time was fluctuating. But after a while, it finally stabilized.
The laws also had adaptability!
Tang Yu tried a little bit to keep the law of fire and the law of time in a delicate balance.
After spending nearly half a month, he finally copied the complete Law of Burning in the small palace.
The flow of time had stabilized, and it could maintain a ratio of ten to one with reality.
One day in reality was ten days in the small palace.
The spiritual space couldn't break the physical body, but it was just right for enlightenment.
Tang Yu looked at the simple palace in front of him and thought for a few seconds. "Spiritual space, time flow, let's call it … Spiritual Time House."
His initial plan was to copy each type of law stele in the 'Spiritual Time House', but it didn't work after trying.
One Law of Burning had caused him to fail countless times. The difficulty of copying another different law stele would increase exponentially.
Only one Spiritual Time House could be matched with one law stele.
"The territory now has 13 complete materialized laws, 46 incomplete materialized laws … The law of fire alone has' Burning ',' Explosion ',' High Temperature ', and so on …"
Tang Yu estimated that the cost of a Spiritual Time House was not cheap. What was more expensive was the subsequent solidification and maintenance costs. Long-term simulation and materialization of the law couldn't be cheap.
He couldn't build too many Spiritual Time Houses.
"First, I'll build 13 to comprehend the complete law. Among the other 46 incomplete laws, the Law of Nothingness and the Law of Deceleration are also essential. I'll think about the others later."
"There's one more thing to consider. It's about the upper limit of the Spiritual Time House."
The strong have their own pressure. Even if they restrain it, the impact still exists.
Tang Yu first called Nancy, and the two entered a Spiritual Time House. The flow of time fluctuated slightly and then stabilized.
He tried again.
Three people, four people, five people, until the sixth person entered, the fluctuation exceeded the limit, and the time law of the Spiritual Time House began to be chaotic.
"The limit is five people. Of course, if it's an ordinary Unity Realm or Void Treading Realm, it can accommodate more people."
But the Spiritual Time House wasn't for them. They couldn't even expand their domain to the limit. They couldn't comprehend anything even if they looked directly at the law stele.
Tang Yu, Elaine, Sky, and the others received the news and entered the Spiritual Time House to meditate. It was more convenient than meditating in Enlightenment City. At least they could walk outside as long as they didn't go beyond the signal range of the "Spiritual Space."
After all, at their level, it was easy to divide the consciousness into several parts.
… …
While meditating, Tang Yu arrived at the Human Federation.
"What's the current population under our jurisdiction?"
The official beside him replied, "The Dao Sect now has a resident population of 30 million. The Federation's population statistics are not very accurate. There are about 600 million humans and 1.8 billion other alien races."
Tang Yu nodded slightly.
Compared to the vast territory of the original Seven Luminaries Federation, the population was actually not that large. It seemed sparsely populated, and the housing prices couldn't be copied.
Especially the human race. After all, the previous living environment was harsh, and the population couldn't grow explosively.
Now that it had settled down, Tang Yu felt that he could introduce the policy of encouraging childbirth at the right time. It had been introduced in Tree Shade City a long time ago, but many adventurers didn't plan to have offspring.
"There are still many human settlements on the continent that are unwilling to migrate." The official said.
It's not like Tang Yu can't understand.
Many human tribes around the Azure Mountain Range had moved to the Dao City early because their living environment was harsh and they often had to face attacks from mutated beasts.
But for human countries like the Great Chang Dynasty and Blue Water Dukedom, they might be poor in resources, but they could get by.
Except for a few people with great ambitions, most people were unwilling to leave their hometown, especially ordinary people. Did it matter where they lived? They were just at the bottom anyway.
Tang Yu pondered.
In fact, there was really a difference. The ordinary people of the Great Chang Dynasty and Blue Water Dukedom lived in the feudal era.
And the Dao City was in the information age.
But they didn't know, and propaganda was useless.
There was also the possibility that there were still some high-level human settlements secretly playing tricks.
He called a person in charge of the production of rune products and pondered for a moment. "Adjust the industrial structure. I need to produce more products that are suitable for ordinary people."
Then he would put them in remote human settlements like the Great Chang Dynasty and Blue Water Dukedom.
He didn't force the human settlements to migrate, but after experiencing the convenience of the information network and the fun of movies and games, who would want to return to the feudal era?
"Right, in the year since the establishment of the Human Federation, how many times have we been attacked by external forces?"
An official presented a set of detailed data.
The Dao City was right under the Dao Sect's feet, and there were elite law enforcement teams patrolling the city, so there were very few troublemakers and attackers.
But the Human Federation was vast, and many of them were given to many human forces. In the past year, there were many attacks, and some small territorial lords had their families destroyed.
Tang Yu's eyes flashed coldly.
"Why didn't you report such an important matter to the higher-ups?"
The official trembled in fear and trepidation, but he didn't speak.
"Forget it." Tang Yu sighed.
The official was a native of the Mountain and Sea Realm. In his eyes, the decline of a small territory in the Federation was not worth mentioning. At the very least, no one would disturb the sect master over such a small matter.
But Tang Yu knew that the environment was not stable, and there was no room for development.
