Chapter 49 Concepts And Laws

All divine races become a force to be reckoned with as they grow stronger. The advantages of their ability become larger while the disadvantages become weaker until it disappears completely.

For example, in the Gemini race, their divine ability gives them a lot of advantages, but one of them mustn't die or all of it disappears. The death of a single twin will lead to the death of the other.

But when they become origin gods, this disadvantage completely disappears and another advantage takes its place. When one of the pair of Gemini origin gods is killed, he can resurrect quickly with the aid of his twin and will not experience memory loss.

While other origin gods will take months to recuperate and regenerate their bodies, a Gemini pair can restore one another within a day at the same cost. It truly makes one bemoan their unlucky fate if one doesn't have an equally outrageous ability.

The possession of a divine ability could be the difference between victory and defeat when origin gods fight. The only thing that can emulate divine abilities and breach the gap somewhat are powerful origin artifacts, but they are very expensive and difficult to make.

"Nothing can beat a universe treasure, with it Legion will eventually become overpowered," Legion two said as he looked at the sphere in his soul.

The sphere is round and about the size of a bead of origin essence. It doesn't seem to exist in the same corporeal dimension as the body, so it couldn't be physically interacted with, and yet it is dormant spiritually.

It just does its thing. Sometimes the runes on it light up when energy is being transmitted over but other times it just rotates silently.

Gehald had selected seven special races to reincarnate into. He chose the battle sage monkeys for the divine ability that ranges from high visual acuity to limited foresight. But with the sphere in his soul, he would be able to do more than that.

He would be able to use his powerful soul to influence his origin core to improve the concept in his eyes and strengthen his bloodline. He began releasing the Origin essence he had within him to the location of the eye.

The origin essence strengthened the concept in the eye and the law fragments in his bloodline by pulling more of them from the Origin core. This pulling force is mutual, so he couldn't recover the Origin essence that he used, it became trapped within the Origin core.

He isn't worried though, the origin essence isn't lost but will later help him to condense his seed of power. He maintained a steady trickle of essence outflow which resulted in the congregation of origin energy towards his location.

He wouldn't have been able to do this because, in his original plan, his soul would still be weak and would have missed out on this reformative stage of his new body.

The Origin essence bead he carried will only improve him passively, but the soul sphere allowed his soul to be healed ahead of time so he is able to actively improve his divine ability. He sensed the changes within his body as Origin essence flowed.

"This divine ability is truly wonderful. Are all divine abilities like this?" He marveled because of the steady stream of different types of law fragments that were converging towards his eyes.

He has never seen something like this before. Concepts are the physical manifestation of the understanding of the laws. Titans of law need a sliver of it to create their body of law. Sovereigns use concepts to condense their seed of power.

It is not enough to comprehend the laws of the universe, you need to master them. And to master it, you will need to use your understanding of laws to create a physical manifestation of laws. Concepts are more powerful than the normal use of laws because no matter how proficient a person is at using laws, it is ultimately borrowed power. The fact that concepts are physical makes them easier to use compared to ephemeral laws. They are physical and easily accessible.Yur favorite ovels at n/o(v)el/bin(.)com

Concepts can be compared to a very powerful divine ability, it is why royal bloodlines are special, it is capable of making a race gain a divine ability.

The thing about concepts is that they could be condensed from more than one law, and the same law can condense different types of concepts. For example, the concept of ice or the concept of freezing can be condensed from the law of water, someone can even take it far and condense the concept of time stop.

You would expect a concept like that of time stop with the ability to stop the activity of all things within a certain space and time to be condensed from the law of time, but the person that condensed time stop understood the state of ultimate freezing.

He or she understood that freezing is bringing things to a complete stop. For sure the concept of time stop will be several times more difficult to condense than the concept of ice. The concept of time stop will be more powerful if it is condensed from the law of time instead of the law of water.

Another example is the nirvana flames of phoenixes, it has been confirmed to be a concept condensed from the laws of fire and life but people still fail to replicate it, the best they have achieved is a flame that targets creatures aligned with death.

In the past, when Gehald was a sovereign he had condensed a seed of power he named Life. It is a result of his understanding of life laws to be the state of not being dead. He had made a body of law from that concept which made it difficult to kill him, with time he can come back from within an inch of death without external assistance because of the high vitality of his body.

His concept could also suppress the healing factor or the life force of the body of others. So concepts vary, their power varies, and the number of laws they are based on varies.

But with all his years of experience and knowledge, which admittedly is shorter than most, he has never heard of a concept made from more than 6 laws.

Even that is rumored to have been condensed by the realm lord. The norm is a maximum of 3 laws but he could see more than 8 law fragments. He could only recognize the law fragments of fire, water, earth, air, light, darkness, space, and time. Law fragments are the basic physical manifestation of laws, they makeup concepts and can be inherited through certain bloodlines. Concepts, in turn, make up the world.

"It can't be, right?" He said with uncertainty.

A concept based on so many laws is unheard of for him. He couldn't make heads or tails of it even after thinking about it for months. He started to consider bringing the issue to a high level of priority within Legion.

He is hesitating because it isn't exactly a bad situation. It was just uncommon and he wasn't Omniscient so there are a lot of things he doesn't know. But he was beaten to it while he was still undecided.

"Hey, guys I have a serious situation here. My concept is more than three laws." one of the other minds called for attention for the same reason. After a while of gauging and assessing the situation, they found a plausible explanation.

"Ooh so that's it"

The 9 minds of Legion conversed and were finally able to ascertain the reason for the phenomenon. The seven reincarnated minds also experienced some sort of deviation during the process of strengthening their bloodlines.

"It's the reaction between the Origin core and origin essence," Legion two said with his eyes aglow.

They had just discovered that the origin realm within the core contained all the laws in existence. It was previously unknown because fetuses rarely pay attention to that sort of thing. The thought of the power one would get by becoming one with the laws made Legion excited. Their longing for such power increased again.

"For a start, I have to figure out what this concept is or I can forget about becoming a titan much less omnipotent," he said with determination.

The situation of the concept was out of his expectations but it isn't bad. It had given him a glimpse of what perfection could be. His eyes are currently on the way to achieving perfection way ahead of other parts of his being.

It is a boon and also a mountain to surmount. For starters, he has to figure out how and why this concept of his, is made up of the fusion of 8 laws or he won't even be able to become a titan of law. Only after becoming an origin god will Legion as a whole be able to benefit from his reincarnation and create the ultimate ability.
