This is a form of crushing, singular, composite, and even various matched patterns, forming an essence.

Now, the problem that needs to be solved is how to simplify this element to the extreme, forming the so-called ’one hundred and fifty-six-point’ Origin attack.

This point, Zhou Yan had already derived by now, and he immediately thought that Lee Ran probably had derived it long ago too.

Because the Twelve Forms War Beast Sword Soul, combined with his own Sword Soul, makes thirteen.

How could such a coincidence exist in this world?

And the Seven Emotions and Six Desires, totaling thirteen kinds, are also the thirteen rules of Life Origin.

The thirteen Original Rules of the self.

The thirteen Original Rules of natural forms.

And the thirteen essence Original Rules of Natural Elements!

Are these not all leading to the same destination?

As Zhou Yan considered this, he vaguely sensed something amiss in Heaven and Earth.

With a bit of experience, he knew he had comprehended the rules of the Sovereign, even surpassing the rules of Evil Spirit and King.

He couldn’t continue comprehending here; if he did, it would replay the tragedy of the last time.

If this event were to occur again, without doubt, Zhao Xiaoxiao and the four would inevitably learn the truth, knowing that Zhou Yan was the culprit who caused this scene.

Zhou Yan naturally believed the four wouldn’t really betray him, but they are Evil Spirits, and here they wouldn’t betray, but once outside, devoid of emotion, there would only be cold, ruthless rationality and considerations of interests. Then surely, this scene would manifest!

Even losing all memory of this place, Zhou Yan did not believe that their experiences would not be observed by the King.

If truly intentional, leave a mark on their Eternal Spirit, and then use the Returning Light Origin Tracing Technique to observe their encounters.

And their encounters would expose all of Zhou Yan.

This is not difficult for the King to achieve.

Based on these considerations, Zhou Yan stopped his desire to continue comprehending, kept himself in a state of emptiness, and then exhaled a breath of turbid air, looking into the endless dim heavens and earth.

Actually, many years had passed here, and time had lost its corresponding meaning.

Zhou Yan did not even know how much time had passed in the outside world.

After achieving Eternal Spirit, the essence of time indeed lost its meaning. Living long now bears the sorrow and helplessness of living long, along with corresponding troubles and pressures.

Zhou Yan thought for a while, then approached Yun Shiyin. At this time, Yun Shiyin had just finished comprehending, opened her beautiful eyes, and looked at Zhou Yan.

Their gazes met, Yun Shiyin naturally looked away, as if to Zhou Yan it was merely a kind of indifferent encounter.

But, Zhou Yan spoke some unique words.

"Yun Shiyin, I remember, once in the Soul Burying Starfield, you transformed into Xiao Linlin and Xiao Chan’er, do you remember this?"

Zhou Yan’s question clearly made Yun Shiyin’s lithe body tremble slightly.

She did not deliberately conceal her emotions, so when Zhou Yan sensed her change, she was actually aware of it herself.

"Zhou Yan, are you still minding my past naivety?"

Yun Shiyin lightly smiled, her gaze shining with beautiful divine light, softly speaking.

"No, how could I mind it? At that time, we were like children, just the heart felt a slight regret."

Zhou Yan sighed.

"Yes, indeed a bit regretful, but ordinary life inherently has many regrets. After all, every kind of existence has corresponding troubles. This is the fundamental difference between nature and life itself. Therefore, natural rules are always so simple and natural, while the self-rules of life forms manifest the Seven Emotions and Six Desires."

Yun Shiyin’s statement actually approached the essence of Tao that Zhou Yan had comprehended, but Zhou Yan did not delve into the issue further.

This is a forbidden zone that cannot be touched—at least not at the moment.

"Indeed. But I’m still curious about your father, or what the circumstances were back then. How did you enter such a place?"

Zhou Yan asked in return.

"Actually... like our encounter here, Zhou Yan, why did you come here? Why did you adopt An Rufeng’s identity? Going to the Soul Burying Starfield was a command from the Lord of Ice and Snow, so we all went."

"However, because of innate talent, to better experience the insights of unique life forms, identities naturally changed, and we went as avatars. Just like now, we are only avatars or True Selves. If we die within, the main body will reassemble and won’t be utterly annihilated."

"This is the fundamental difference between Eternal Spirit and life forms."

Yun Shiyin’s response surprised Zhou Yan, yet it was within reason.

"Are you saying the Soul Burying Starfield is similar to this Town Domain Demon Origin’s Heavenly Road, where the time inside has similar characteristics?"

Zhou Yan asked in some shock.

"Yes, otherwise, how can one complete a unique setup? Actually, the Soul Burying Starfield counts as a true battle, involving the Lord of Ice and Snow, Thunder Flame Monarch, and the Word Spirit Race, among others... Many major figures participated, but it was a battle of derivation."

"In essence, the future battle will be the real battle."

"Yet, what no one expected was that the battle of derivation, in the Soul Burying Starfield on the Soul Burying Heavenly Road, allowed the Thunder Flame Monarch to truly live out the next life."

Yun Shiyin explained some secrets.

These are actually important, at least, without someone to inform him, it would take Zhou Yan a long time to discover these secrets.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Yan exhaled a heavy breath of air and said, "I see."

"Indeed it’s like that, as for Gu Xi’s origin, it’s related to the Jade Fox race, which is the forefront of the Wanling Race, indisputably the first Wanling Race. Gu Xi’s elders are not true elders, they should be considered temporary substitutes, somewhat related to the Emperor. After all, Heavenly Mechanism Derivation and Eight Diagrams are inherently related."

"Furthermore, my father... Regarding my father’s matters, you’ll know when you meet your father, and I won’t go into detail now."

Yun Shiyin avoided discussing this matter.

Zhou Yan understood, in such scenes, Yun Shiyin, who still had emotions, chose not to speak, meaning it truly can’t be discussed.

Actually, Yun Shiyin had already helped Zhou Yan greatly in various aspects, and Zhou Yan deeply understood this.

Hence, Zhou Yan wouldn’t trouble Yun Shiyin.

"As for Gu Xi’s father... it’s inconvenient to mention for now, but Feng Zishuang’s father is the Xuanwu Holy Spirit Dragon Turtle. Feng Zishuang is a very tragic life form; you should treat her well."

At this moment, Hong Yuqiao suddenly interjected.

Zhou Yan paused, then fell silent.

"Past experiences will inevitably be faced in the future, don’t overthink, let’s continue to comprehend the Earth Original Rules. I feel that Earth, Fire, and Wind combined seem reminiscent of some Hell scene on a certain Heavenly Road."

Qin Ruyu suddenly broke the silence and spoke.
