Heilong finally recalled the words from the ball of light he had encountered before he was resurrected in the Invisibility Realm.
Just then, the ball of light said that the power from the golden leaves of the life origin tree would rise if he managed to reunite the thread of spirit aura that was scattered within all of the reincarnations of Lord Li Xuan.
And, the reincarnation of the current God Li Xuan was only himself and Long Bai alone. There's nothing else. However, why had he not yet felt the power of the golden leaf?
Without the power of the golden leaf of the tree of life origin, it would be impossible for him to awaken the power possessed by the void element which was the key to understanding about the true laws of time.
“You must be confused, why the strength of the golden leaves of the tree of origin of life has not risen until now.” Li Xuan then raised his right index finger and a golden colored light shone beautifully on his fingertips.
“I'm not just a soul fragment. But, I can also be said to be part of my own reincarnation. I represent the past while you and Long Bai represent the present. If the two things are combined then we can understand about the future and reach perfection about understanding the laws of time,” Li Xuan continued and then stick his index finger on Heilong's forehead.
“I leave the safety of this entire universe to you. My job will end here.”
Li Xuan's body instantly turned into a thread of golden-coloured spirit aura and entered Heilong's body.
Inexplicably Heilong felt such a deep sadness when Li Xuan made the decision to sacrifice herself and join her. He could feel the resentment and anger Li Xuan had towards the Demon Nation.
The three threads of golden spirit aura that were inside Heilong's body began to fuse together and form a golden-colored leaf in the middle of his soul. The leaf was as if it was a heart that sustained his survival.
“At last I can resurrect the golden leaves of the tree of origin of life that is in my body.”
Heilong felt a sensation that was so comfortable as the golden leaf began to emit its power. His body was as if it was filled with an extremely pure Qi even exceeding the purity of cosmic Qi which was the source of power from a god.
A gray-colored sphere suddenly appeared before him and turned into a wheel that floated in the air and was surrounded by thousands of ancient writings in Sanskrit.
The wheel was the perfect form of the void element after obtaining the power from the life origin gold leaf.
“Roda Sang Time.” Heilong read a few sentences engraved on the surface of the wheel.
Although all the letters engraved there using Sanskrit, but he could read easily just by looking at it once in his life he had never learned about Sanskrit letters at all. Perhaps, this was one of the privileges given by the golden leaves of the tree of origin of life.
Heilong then reads another sentence that surrounds the wheel of time to understand the secret that lies behind the power of time.
**
As long as Heilong was in the subconscious, the flow of time that existed in the outer world including the three worlds that existed throughout the universe seemed to freeze for a while.
Even the dark origin tree was also affected and stopped absorbing Heilong's power. Whereas in Heilong dantian there is only one element left, namely the void element.
**
One sentence after another in Sanskrit, Heilong began to arrange into a whole paragraph to make it easier for him to understand.
...Time is a wheel that keeps on spinning in line with the law of karma....
...Behind the secret of time, there is cause and effect that must be passed by to obtain a true truth....
Heilong's mind began to sink into all those sentences.
Such powerful laws of time continued to gather around Heilong as he studied all the sanskrit letters.
He looked back at the past stories about his own life, Li Xuan's life and Long Bai's life.
From all of those scenes he was finally able to understand the highest level of the time law of karma.
**
“I finally made it.” Heilong finally re-opened his eyes and managed to get out of the subconscious.
The flow of time present in this place had also spun back to normal.
However, what was before him right now was such a terrifying sight.
The domain of the sword god he had created had been completely destroyed and the entire region of the Central Continent had also disappeared. Meanwhile, the territory of the other four Continents had also shrunk drastically and left only an area of around hundreds of kilometers.
Heilong looked at Dark Etheroz with a burning fury in his two eyes. He exclaimed in a tone filled with killing intent. “What have you done with Planet Dreamland?”
Dark Etheroz smiled cynically. “For what I give an answer to the person who will soon die. You better worry about your own safety. Because, if until the only element left in your body is to disappear then you will really die in a very sad way.”
“Basic Devil, Cursed. Die!!”
The laws of time that were inside Heilong's body instantly exploded uncontrollably and blew away all the roots of the dark origin tree that were shackling him.
Dark Etheroz opened his eyes wide as if to escape from his place and unconsciously walked back away from Heilong. “How can you still have such great power with just one element left in the body?”
Heilong ignored Dark Etheroz because he had to deal first with the dark origin tree as the dark energy emanating from this tree further eroded the natural energy that existed around Planet Dreamland.
...“Karma Law — Exposure Without Limits.”...
Heilong pointed towards the tree of darkness origin and the flow of time around the tree was directly spinning backwards.
Instantly, the size of the dark origin tree that had almost touched the sky instantly shrank very quickly and returned to the shape of a shoot that was only half a meter tall.
Heilong further strengthened the laws of time that were at his fingertips and forced the dark origin tree that had become a bud back into a seed.
After which, he stored the seed of the dark origin tree within his Soul World. There is no safer place to keep this very special tree than in its own body.
“Basic man shit! How dare you take my things. I'll tear your body apart and take back the seed of the tree of darkness.”
Dark Etheroz used the power of space laws and instantly moved behind Heilong. He immediately swung his heirloom sword attacking towards Heilong.
...“Legal Time — Freezing Flow Time.”...
Heilong just shouted without turning back and the flow of time around him instantly came to a halt.
Dark Etheroz who was about to unleash an attack suddenly froze in the air in the position of the tip of the sword that almost hit Heilong's head. However, Dark Etheroz' consciousness did not freeze.
'What really happened to this man. Why did he suddenly become stronger?' Such a great fear suddenly enveloped Dark Etheroz's mind. However, he had nowhere to escape or hide. Because, a few minutes ago he had attacked most of the remaining Continent with full force and left only a portion of the territory guarded by Divine Beasts.
“Currently you are no longer a worthy opponent for me. So stop thinking about doing evil and accept your death.”
Heilong then turned around and performed some quite complicated seal movements with his right hand. His left hand was holding the sword of the heavenly guard.
A few minutes later, Heilong directly threw a magic formation towards Dark Etheroz.
...“Karma Law — Life Destroyers.”...
In just ten breaths of time, Dark Etheroz's body that had looked so young and mighty instantly turned into a white-haired grandfather with a thin, dry body.
All of the cosmic Qi and cultivation elements that Dark Etheroz possessed also suddenly vanished were suppressed by the flow of time.
All of those attacks continued and Dark Etheroz was unable to escape due to the pressure from the power of the law back then as if it had set himself apart from the current world.
Dark Etheroz's body finally turned to ashes after being attacked by the force of a time law for twenty minutes.
“Finally this middle world managed to be free from the terror of the Devil Nation.”
With the death of Dark Etheroz then all the Devils in Middle-earth were successfully eliminated for the time being. However, as long as in the hearts of humans still have various kinds of evil traits, it does not rule out the possibility that the Devil Nation will return again in the future.
The power of the laws of time still radiated strongly from Heilong's body as if asking him to do something even though all his enemies had managed to kill him.
Several Sanskrit letters reappeared around Heilong and gave clues. “I understand!”
Heilong then stored the heaven guard sword and took out the phoenix emperor's wings.
He then flew into the sky and stopped after making it through the atmosphere of Planet Dreamland.
After which, he began to make hand seal moves and set up a gigantic-sized magic formation. The magic formation he made this time was even larger than the size of Planet Dreamland.
“O you Divine Beasts, if you can listen to my voice. Then lend me some of the power you have to help me improve Planet Dreamland.”
In an instant, the strength of each element possessed by the Divine Beasts began to come towards Heilong. Besides coming from Planet Dreamland, that power also comes from the Continent of Atlantis and Planet Earth.
“Thank you very much.” exclaimed Heilong sincerely because he this one has not been able to move because both hands still have to withstand this giant-sized formation.
All of the elemental powers sent by those Divine Beasts began to enter into a grand formation and fuse perfectly until it was a magic formation that became rainbow-colored.
...“Karma Law — Birth of Nature.”...
Heilong then threw the magic formation towards Planet Dreamland.
The power of the laws of time that were so powerful and combined with the power of the various elements of each Divine Beast quickly improved the state of Planet Dreamland and restored the Planet to its best condition as if it was untrue there was a big battle there.
The land that had been narrowed had returned to its original size. Even the earth and water elements that have disappeared from the planet have reappeared.
Trees that were once only found in the Eastern and Western Continents, can now be found in all Continents with a variety of types.
The entire population living in Middle-earth celebrated the victory of the Devil Nation with great joy.
**
Two Years later.
After the great battle with the Devil Nation ended. Heilong immediately held a big wedding and married five women at once. The five of them were Xue Xian Hou, Xin Ye, Feng Tzuyu, Mao Shizi and also Bianca.
Yep! Mao Shizi had returned to Middle World after receiving treatment from the Phoenix Race Kingdom that existed in the God Realm for two years. He also met his mother. However, his mother was not allowed to descend back to Middle-earth by the King of the Phoenix Race who was the biological father of Mao Shizi's mother.
While Shen Yu, the, he chose to end his own life two months after the great war ended because he was always overshadowed by the guilt of being influenced by the Devil Nation and attacking the inhabitants of the Eastern Continent.
And to Lin Meylin, his existence suddenly disappeared like it was swallowed by the earth after the great war was over. Lastly, he was seen around the World Heaven Goa that existed in one of the regions in the Central Continent. However, when Heilong came to Goa, Goa was completely clean and left nothing there.
Xue Xian Hou, Xin Ye and Mao Shizi each lived on the Dreamland Planet, the Continent of Atlantis and the Invisibility Realm. The three of them became the rulers of the strongest kingdoms in each of the Planets. So the three days were filled with various kinds of Kingdom affairs so that their time together with Heilong became limited.
So the ones who had the most time with Heilong were of course Feng Tzuyu and Bianca. Heilong invites the two of them to live on Earth and blend in with ordinary human life to enjoy these peaceful times.
“My husband, can't you wait a few more months until our son is born?” bianca said with teary eyes while stroking her growing belly.
Heilong could only hug Bianca to calm her down for a moment. “Actually I also want to delay my departure to the God Realm. However, the laws of the world on Earth that had recovered began to put up a fight against existence. I could have gone against the force of the laws of this world, but there is a possibility that the laws of this world will again be broken.”
Heilong could do absolutely nothing because he had to put the life of the entire population of Earth first rather than his personal desires. If, the laws of the world that existed on Earth were again broken, then cultivators and demons with terrifying strength could easily attack Earth.
Several figures were seen starting to appear in this place and surround Heilong.
Those figures were Xue Xian Hou, Xin Ye, Feng Tzuyu and Mao Shizi. The four of them deliberately took the time to come to this place to meet Heilong. Because, they would all be separated for a very long time until each of them had the qualifications to ascend to the God Realm.
The five of them spent some time chatting leisurely while waiting for someone from the God Realm to come pick up Heilong.
Heilong also occasionally hugged them to release longing.
**
An hour has passed.
A comet suddenly appeared splitting through the sky then landed right in front of Heilong.
“Over time we did not meet. It seems that your life in this Middle World has gotten better since I left you.”
The one who came from the God Realm to pick Heilong up turned out to be Li Ziqi.
“How can I be unhappy if always accompanied by very beautiful wives.” Heilong deliberately hugged the five of them before Li Ziqi when answering a question.
“Humph!!” Li Ziqi snorted in annoyance. “Coming to this place is not to see your affection with your wives. But I came to this place to pick you up to the God Realm while telling you that you have been appointed as the Protective God.”
“Help Goddess?” Heilong felt that something was wrong and immediately protested. “Didn't the Supreme God have promised me to make me a God of War when I ascend to the God Realm.”
“You took too long to ascend to the God Realm. So the Supreme God had given that answer to others because the War God department had been empty for too long. If you still want to become a god of war then you must fight with your own ancestor, Xiao Long.” Li Ziqi finally had a chance to avenge Heilong because she knew that Heilong would not be possible against his own ancestor.
“So soon after me if you've said goodbye to all your wives.” Li Ziqi flew into the sky and waited for Heilong outside the earth's atmosphere because she was uncomfortable with the laws of the world on the planet.
Heilong immediately gave a few short messages to all his wives and asked to arrange for all of them to cultivate hard so that they could all re-assemble in the God Realm.
After hugging each other, Heilong started flying into the sky. But, his eyes still continued to face the Earth.
“Quick ascend to the Realm of the Gods and never quarrel with each other.”
