When Zhou Yan regained consciousness, the four individuals were still not awake. They continued to instinctively protect him as they moved forward one step at a time, like walking dead, completely unaware of everything around them.

At this moment, encountering danger or any abnormal occurrence would have a tremendous impact on the four of them.

However, Zhou Yan refrained from attacking them. Even though these four might become formidable enemies in the future, Zhou Yan believed that among these four women, there must have been moments when they awakened earlier. Surely, they had witnessed him, Zhou Yan, in a similar state, like the walking dead, yet they too did not make a move.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath and silently reflected on his gains. This time, the progress in Zhou Yan’s realm was not very evident. Perhaps in ten thousand years, he merely defined the King Immortal Principle within the first layer of Eternal Immortality, and it had yet to reach Perfection. However, Zhou Yan’s progress in the Gift of Word Spirit was nothing short of a foundational giant leap.

Now, regarding this Land of Heavenly Fire, Zhou Yan not only didn’t feel troubled, but rather felt an incomparable affinity. The incredibly intense fiery aura, and the magma that could almost annihilate the Eternal Spirit, in Zhou Yan’s eyes, had become affectionately cute, like a mischievous child.

Zhou Yan even had the sense that with a mere thought, he could command the Heavenly Fire here, triggering a unique eruption of magma that could destroy the heavens and the earth.

This feeling may be too intense, or perhaps too exaggerated, but Zhou Yan believed that in this Land of Heavenly Fire, he had truly grasped the core level of the Flame Elemental Spirit. What was needed now was to perfect it step by step.

With a thought, a small flame the size of a fine sword appeared in Zhou Yan’s palm. The flame was refined into a slender sword, burning in his palm but without leaving a trace of scorch marks or causing him any harm.

The flame in his palm was like an obedient child, burning quietly and peacefully.

Zhou Yan opened his right hand, looked at the wisp of flame, and then with a thought, this flame suddenly merged with Zhou Yan’s own Purple Flame, creating a very peculiar sensation.

At that moment, Zhou Yan even felt that his Silent Annihilation Purple Flame had truly reached Great Perfection for the first time. Just like the original Silent Annihilation Purple Flame, even within the power of the King Annihilation Thunderflame, it was still incomplete, not strong enough, always lacking something.

And now, Zhou Yan, with just an unconscious attempt of a wisp of Purple Flame, felt a unique sense of Great Perfection. This feeling was indeed very strange and peculiar.

Zhou Yan took a deep breath and then felt a bit at ease.

Zhou Yan withdrew the Purple Flame, which unexpectedly generated a unique feeling of reluctance, as if the Purple Flame also possessed its own will.

At that moment, Zhou Yan’s heart stirred, and a certain thought deep in his mind became more profound.

"Perhaps the foundation of every rule also has its own Eternal Spirit."

"Even if it’s just a wisp of rule, even as a wisp of Origin, it has its own True Self."

"Our complete True Self is composed of endless weak True Selves. Those True Selves possess the most basic force of will, but when gathered as one, they present the will of a Sovereign King, mastering everything, hence, those wills fall into silence."

"This should be the coordination of the body."

"Just like... in the technological world, research shows that everything is made of elements..."

Elements combine to form atoms and molecules, and then form objects."

"If every basic unit has its corresponding True Self, possesses the most basic will..."

Zhou Yan’s eyes brightened.

Then, Zhou Yan thought of the chemical elements in the technological world, those most basic chemical elements.

"If the flames in the Land of Heavenly Fire represent elements combined into the King’s Rule, like the hydrogen and oxygen elements that form water..."

"If the Heavenly Fire of the Land of Heavenly Fire represents the Fire Element, and the Gift of Word Spirit is like water or other molecules, then what is the King Immortal Principle? A form of composition?"

"The Eternal Immortality Principle is an elemental body formed by a single element, like carbon forming carbon or diamond, just a fundamental overlay variation. But the King’s Principle, could be molecules formed by combining carbon and other elements."

"What is the Evil Spirit then? The Evil Spirit could be viewed as a chemical reaction?"

"A catalyst?"

Zhou Yan couldn’t help but piece together this series of ideas. Although such an analogy might seem extremely ridiculous, through this analogy, Zhou Yan seemed to see the essence of creating the King’s Rule. 𝓯𝓻𝒆𝙚𝒘𝓮𝙗𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝒍.𝙘𝓸𝙢

Water is the Source of Life.

Water is also where the lifeblood Origin is produced.

And water is the combination of the most basic two elements.

The King Immortal Principle, Eternal Immortality Principle, and so on, how are these not similar in nature?

Zhou Yan’s heart began to tremble, sensing that the world around seemed to shake inexplicably, with terrifying Rule Power swirling in the Void, shaking Heaven and Earth, as if some unknown Tao Light appeared.

This was a true realization of the ultimate Origin surpassing the King, a change significant enough to disturb all formidable kings.

Feeling a deep awe, Zhou Yan discarded all his thoughts and kept himself in a state of emptiness, free from thoughts.

In such a state, Zhou Yan could no longer continue to comprehend, because he lacked the strength to protect himself. What he comprehended now has likely touched upon the rule and origin that could dominate both the Evil Spirit and even the King. Without absolute strength, continuing down this path would lead to unthinkable consequences!

This anomaly strongly interfered with the environment at the scene, causing Hong Yuqiao Zhao Xiaoxiao and the other three to almost simultaneously halt their understanding, looking around with a sense of uncertainty and solemn faces.

"What’s happening? Who has touched the Supreme King’s Rule?"

Zhao Xiaoxiao spoke coldly, her words heavy.

"It’s more than just the Supreme King’s Rule. There’s even a transcendence; otherwise, why would this Town Domain Demon Origin Sky Road be affected to such a degree?"

Qin Ruyu was equally grave, worry evident in her beautiful eyes.

There was a reason for this worry.

After all, the wrath of a king, capable of annihilating everything, could lead to a catastrophe for all life in this Land of Heavenly Fire.

Better to err on the side of caution than to let it go, this point any king fully understands.

For this reason, after realizing the gravity of the situation, Qin Ruyu was deeply worried.

Qin Ruyu’s words also changed the expressions of Yun Shiyin, Hong Yuqiao, and Zhou Yan.

A king, for future stability, is very likely to act this way, as no top strong who would quietly watch a sovereign stronger than themselves arise!

Even if there’s an extremely slim chance, it could very well lead to direct destruction!

At this moment, Zhou Yan also realized the severity of the situation.
