Chapter 22, Rules
Chapter 22, Rules
"There are many small buildings in Chaos City. The doors are light white, which means that there is no owner here." The black-robed envoy pointed to the different colored doors of the standard small buildings on both sides of the street. "As long as you place your hand on the door for a moment, the sensor system inside the door will automatically activate, turning the door dark gray. You will automatically become the owner of this residence, and the information will be automatically recorded. Each person can only choose one place to live."
"First, I must tell you a very important rule!" the black-robed envoy said solemnly, "In the initial universe, it is forbidden for humans to kill each other. Whoever does so will surely die."
"No matter who it is, even if he is the ruler of a cosmic kingdom, he cannot defy the rules of Chaos City."
"Understood." The group of over a thousand powerful individuals all nodded.
"Your batch of World Lords, who came from the outer battlefields, were able to comprehend the universe for a little over three thousand years in Chaos City, which is one era of the primordial universe. As for the Immortals, they were able to comprehend one era in Chaos City."
"As for the realm lords who come in through the auction, they can only comprehend it for a thousand years, and immortals for more than three thousand years."
"When your time expires, you can use your points to redeem more time to continue your studies in Chaos City. If you don't have enough points, then we'll have to send you out."
"My lord, how do we obtain points? Do we buy them with money?" Among the group of powerful individuals, someone couldn't help but ask.
"Before becoming an Immortal, it is forbidden to exchange money for points. Immortals can be exchanged, with one Primal Chaos Unit exchanged for one point."
Upon hearing this, most of the powerful figures present frowned slightly. Although they didn't know how many points were needed to comprehend in the Initial Universe for a year, one unit of Chaos Essence was only one point! Even among the most powerful Realm Lords in the outside world, having a hundred units of Chaos Essence was considered wealthy. Besides, this was assets, not cash. Even if one had a hundred or two hundred units of Chaos Essence in cash, exchanging it all would only yield a hundred or two hundred points. How many years could that sustain for comprehending in the Initial Universe? Even if it was one point per year, a hundred or two hundred years would be just a blink of an eye for a Realm Lord. Not to mention, Realm Lords weren't even qualified to exchange them; they wouldn't even accept money.
"Once you understand the rules of Chaos City, the Virtual Universe Company will send you an email. At that time, you will understand the matter of points." The black-robed envoy ignored the doubts of these realm lords and immortals, stepped onto the rooftop, and the thousands of powerful figures behind him followed, landing on the rooftop.
There were scattered scratches on the rooftop floor.
"Do you see the scratches on the ground?" The black-robed envoy pointed to the scattered scratches on the rooftop built of special stone and said, "In Chaos City, many powerful people would record their insights when they comprehended the laws. These scratches contain their understanding of the laws."
A group of realm lords and immortals focused their gazes on the engravings, and many of them had their eyes shining.
They were all at least peak Realm Lord level experts, each of whom had received the recognition of the fundamental laws. Every mark they saw contained profound understanding of the laws.
Some are the fundamental laws of metal, some are the fundamental laws of water, and some are even the fundamental laws of space and time.
"These kinds of marks, made in a flash of inspiration, are mostly fragmentary and unsystematic. They have some reference value, but not much," the black-robed immortal continued. "However, among the super beings born in Chaos City, there are always some exceptionally talented powerhouses who have made systematic marks, which are collected in the City Lord's Mansion and are called Chaos Steles by many powerhouses."
"Chaos City is known as a sacred place for human cultivation because it possesses the Chaos Stele, which leads directly to the pinnacle of the universe. It is also the most important of the three treasures of Chaos City," the black-robed envoy slowly recounted, his gaze distant.
The phrase "The Three Treasures of Chaos City?" caught the attention of some powerful individuals.
After all, such a spontaneous recording made in a flash of inspiration is certainly not without value, but even the World Lords present are peak World Lords who have been recognized by the Origin Laws. At most, such a recording can only have some reference value for their own cultivation; to say that they can be used to comprehend the laws is somewhat of a stretch.
"The number one treasure of this Chaos City is the manifestation of the Law Runes that can be seen everywhere."
Many powerful figures nodded in agreement. In this Chaos City, even without any secret techniques inscribed for reference, the law runes that could be seen just by looking up were enough to increase the speed at which any powerful figure could comprehend the laws by tens or even hundreds of times.
Because this is the "initial evolutionary" state of the universe! The original universe is too ancient, perfect, and vast to allow such a manifestation of fundamental laws to form visible secret patterns.
"The second treasure is right at the gate of Chaos City. It's useless to Immortals, but you Realm Lords will see it once you leave. There's an introduction at the city gate," the black-robed envoy continued. "As for the third treasure, and the most important one, it's in the City Lord's Mansion. It's these systematically inscribed records—the Chaos Stele!"
Of the three treasures of Chaos City, the Chaos Stele is the most important!
"Next, I will take you to the City Lord's Mansion to choose a Chaos Stele that you need to study." The black-robed envoy stepped onto the street and walked towards the City Lord's Mansion, each step covering more than ten kilometers.
A group of powerful figures followed closely behind.
Despite the vastness of Chaos City, they moved quickly, arriving at an exceptionally magnificent building a few minutes later.
Ye Muxuan's eyes swept over the massive building in front of him, and finally, his gaze fell on the three most dazzling universal characters - City Lord's Mansion!
It's as if it exists in its own separate space and time!
Ye Muxuan hurriedly looked away. Even though he had a good understanding of the two superior laws of time and space, he still couldn't help but be captivated by the three words "self-contained spacetime".
The difference is so vast, it's like an ant trying to see the blue sky!
This is the pinnacle of spacetime mastery achieved by the Lord of the Universe! It's even the heaven-defying power of the strongest being in the universe!
"Just look at these three characters on the plaque once, don't stare at them for too long." The black-robed envoy spoke with a hint of a smile. "Don't even mention that you are all just Realm Lords and Immortals. Even super strong experts at the level of Kingdom Lords wouldn't dare to stare at them for too long, or they would become mentally distracted."
It would have been better if they hadn't mentioned it, as only Ye Muxuan and a few others had noticed it initially. But this reminder drew the attention of the remaining Realm Lords and Immortals, who all fell for the warning.
"Hahaha!" The black-robed envoy burst into laughter upon seeing this scene.
This little trick is just to bully these newcomers; those powerful figures who have been to Chaos City before all know this.
