After the myth

Chapter 1059 We Are All Pitiful

As expected, under the continuous bombardment of Origin City, fragments of Origin Laws were sensed by Ding Huan's Daoist consciousness.

This time, Ding Huan did not rely on the Great Universe Technique, but instead perceived the Source Principle through his own understanding of the Great Dao.

Each time the perception becomes weak, the Origin City will unleash fragments of the Origin Law.

In just one year, Ding Huan completely understood what the Source Principle was, and even easily evolved his first Source Principle, the Source Principle of Vitality.

Logically speaking, life force sources are relatively difficult to generate, but Ding Huan possesses the Tree of Life, and there are also life force sources here.

Therefore, the first source principle he derived was not an attribute source principle, but a life force source principle.

At this point, if Ding Huan wished, he could easily perfect the process of the Origin Evolution into his own Great Universe Technique.

Complete another advancement in the Great Cosmic Technique.

In this way, even without the help of the Origin City, he can rely on the Great Universe Technique to complete the understanding of all the source laws here, and then evolve and construct the source laws of heaven and earth and all things in his own Great Dao World.

Finally, the boundary here was broken.

If it were before, Ding Huan would definitely have done this.

Because by doing so, his cultivation and understanding of the Dao will reach new heights.

If he encounters such a realm again in the future, it will be impossible to trap him.

Ding Huan did not choose to do that.

His grand ideal is to stand at the pinnacle of the universe and step into this vast expanse.

From the moment he discovered the Source Principle, Ding Huan suddenly had a feeling that when he stepped into the Great Dao, it was as if he was being led by the nose by the Great Dao of this universe.

It has always been striving to reach even greater heights on its own path.

He can't go on like this.

He may not understand the source, but he absolutely cannot continue to be led by the nose by the Great Dao.

The Great Dao belongs to him, so logically he should be the one controlling its direction.

When the Source Principle appears, he begins to integrate and comprehend it, and then evolves the Source Principle of all things into his own Great Dao Universe. What if new fragments of the Dao Principle appear again?
More importantly, he didn't know whether the source was a fragment of the Great Dao of the Universe that a powerful figure had comprehended, or whether this vast universe itself existed.

Regardless of how the source exists, one thing will never change: the realm where he is trapped is 100% man-made.

Instead of following in others' footsteps and trying to understand their fragments of the Great Dao and Dao principles, it's better to create your own entirely new fragments of the Great Dao and Dao principles.

Aren't the laws governing all things composed of the fundamental principles?
His laws are then constituted through another kind of law, which he can call another law, or of course, the source law.

However, the principles of heaven and earth and the profound mysteries of the Great Dao that it constitutes are all based on its own understanding of the Great Dao, rather than being copied from the source rules here.

To put it simply, if the source of the universe is composed of grass and tree roots, then couldn't the source of the Great Dao world be composed of water and Daoist principles?

It's not impossible for it to be completely unrelated to the origin of the original universe.

Ding Huan was, after all, an existence who had evolved his own Great Dao universe. As long as he followed the original intent of his own Great Dao, he could do so.

Why copy others?

If he continues to copy like this, he might get deeper and deeper into trouble.

He can understand and comprehend the Dao of others, or rather, the Dao of Heaven and Earth and the Universe.

At his current level, there is absolutely no need for him to follow other people's paths.

Who says matter must be made up of molecules, and molecules must be made up of atoms?
The universe belongs to him, and the way all things are constituted according to his will.

His will is his path.

Ding Huan's Dao will rapidly took shape with his thoughts, and finally naturally formed a brand new source law, the spatial source law.

Feeling the source laws in his world formed entirely by his own will, Ding Huan wasn't particularly excited.

Instead, he let out a long sigh of relief.

This is the correct way to open the Great Dao.

He was grateful to the realm that had trapped him for reminding him, and only today did he realize the truth.

He has clearly constructed his own Great Dao universe, and he is the creator of his own universe.

Why should we simply copy other people's definitions of everything in the universe?
His universe should be defined by him, and the origin of all things should be determined by him.

Ding Huan's mind stirred, and he opened both hands at the same time. A spatial source law appeared in his left hand, and a spatial source law appeared in his right hand as well.

However, the spatial source in his left hand is the spatial source law that exists in this universe he is in, which he has comprehended and condensed.

The spatial source in his right hand was entirely condensed from his own Great Dao will.

The differences between the two source principles immediately and clearly appeared in Ding Huan's mind.

He can condense the source law of space in this universe, but he cannot condense the source law of time.

Because there are no fragments of the Time Source Principle here, the entire dimension he is in is almost entirely fragments of the Space Source Principle.

Without fragments of the Time Source Principles, he could not comprehend the Time Source Principles; without a reference, he could not condense the Time Source Principles of this universe.

As Ding Huan's thoughts flowed, a Time Source Principle appeared again in his right hand.

This is the source of time condensed from his own Great Dao universe.

That's it!

Ding Huan's mood brightened.

He finally broke free from the constraints imposed upon him by this universe.

Previously, in order to condense the Time Source Law, he had to first sense the Time Source Law of this vast universe before he could condense a similar Time Source Law.

Now it's different; he easily condensed his own Time Source Law with his own Great Dao Will.

Even though he had never seen what the Time Source Law was all about, it did not prevent him from condensing his own Time Source Law with his own will.

His time source may be very different from the time source of this universe, but what does it matter?
Whatever suits you best is fine.

What works best for someone else may not suit him. Even if it does suit him, he'll still need time to study and understand it—why bother?
From now on, his path will no longer be led by the nose.

All paths are the same; regardless of whether their source laws are the same as the source laws of this world, they are all laws of heaven and earth at the same level.

After comprehending the Source Principle, the Dimensional Boundary became a clearly visible physical wall in Ding Huan's eyes.

Ding Huan easily opened the realm that had imprisoned him for tens of thousands of years and stepped out of this space.

An overwhelming feeling of ease washed over me, as if I had broken free from some kind of great constraint.

So this is how all things evolve.

After his initial excitement, Ding Huan was quickly stunned by the scene before him.

What appeared before him was still just emptiness.

Ding Huan could clearly sense that this void was completely different from the void he had experienced before.

It's as if the void here is three-dimensional, while the void he came from is two-dimensional.

It's a very strange idea, but that's exactly how it feels.

No, what we see before us shouldn't be called emptiness, nor should it be called the starry sky.

Because the space that appeared before Ding Huan was vast and boundless, without darkness, not a vacuum, and without nothingness...

Oceans and rivers hang suspended in the void, and mountains rise in the void, among which are various gold mountains, silver mountains, and jade mountains...

Standing upright, upside down, tilted...

It was a vast and boundless void, yet it was incredibly bright.

Even if there were stars like our Sun, such a vast and boundless void could not be illuminated by a single star.

Ding Huan knew that he could do the same using formations and barriers.

Let the sea hang, let the mountains and rivers float in the void.

But this isn't the place.

This place is naturally like this.

Ding Huan tried to walk easily through this void without using any magic power, even as a mortal.

There was no feeling of weightlessness; it was as if I were walking on a very comfortable surface with gravity.

This space contains all the elements necessary for human survival and can transmit all sounds and breaths.

It looks like a vibrant planet, but it's not a vibrant planet; it's a vast expanse of space.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth is not only abundant, but also possesses a natural affinity.

Ding Huan was certain that if he were to go into seclusion here, he could even step into the eighth step of the Great Dao without needing any Dao veins.

This is the natural gateway to the Great Way.

Ding Huan stared into the far distance, a sense of fear emanating from him.

He was eager to find out what exactly existed there.

But deep down, his subconscious told him not to go there.

Even standing here now, he feels extremely uncomfortable.

Ding Huan wasn't thinking about the past. The reason he was drawn here was because of the Dao Pearl, and he had already sensed its location.

Ding Huan flashed forward, trying to rush over as fast as possible, but he soon discovered that his mental escape technique was useless here.

Is the Great Dao bound by it?

No, it's because his mental escape technique is useless here.

Ding Huan immediately modified the Mind Escape technique, using his own source principles to revise it.

Sure enough, the rules of this space could no longer restrain him.

Ding Huan landed at the location of the Dao Bead's aura almost instantly.

Ding Huan felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.

If he had not changed his own Dao philosophy and developed the source of his own Dao will.

He probably can't use his supernatural powers here at all.

Because he needs to comprehend other source laws in this universe.

Ding Huan didn't understand why the Dao Beads and Dao Pillars were still present on the Great Dao Disc.

He couldn't understand why he could still sense things in such a place.

Regardless, he will take the Dao Pearl and Dao Pillar with him when he arrives.

Before him was still a realm, but for Ding Huan, this low-level realm could be torn apart with a wave of his hand.

Tearing open the boundary, what came into view were ten Dao beads and a Dao pillar.

The placement of these ten Dao beads and the Dao pillar forms a Dao array.

With Ding Huan's discerning eye, he naturally understood that this Dao array was designed to allow others to sense the presence of the Dao Beads of the Great Dao Disc here.

Was it man-made?
Ding Huan's gaze fell on a slightly distant spot, where there lay a skeleton that was almost completely decaying.

Ding Huan rolled it up, and a Daoist scroll from the withered bones appeared in his hand.

The scroll contained only one line of text:

“Go tell the people outside that we are all pitiful, Li Zhuojian.”

After Ding Huan saw this line of text, Dao Jian also turned into ashes.
