This is a planet blanketed by oceans that cover more than ninety percent of its surface, with all the land concentrated in Shenzhou. On Earth, a molecular scattering phenomenon known as "Rayleigh Scattering" filters blue light from the sunlight, casting a blue veil over the planet.
Underneath a thick yet light blue firmament at the bottom layer of the planet, a great ancient being lies in slumber.
The epochs it has witnessed are beyond the imagination of the Human Clan. No mountain range is older, no river has persisted longer. It had witnessed the transformation of the sea into mulberry fields more than once.
Yet, the ravages of time had not left a single mark on its physical body. The time it had endured accumulated within it, each breath gathering strength. Forces dominating all existence—death, time, Entropy Force—were trivial before it. It was a perfect dissipative structure, standing at the zenith of all life.
However, such a magnificent existence could not transcend the second law of thermodynamics. Countless eons hadn't killed its body, but had left its spirit incredibly weary.
Now, it lay sleeping in a place unreachable by sunlight.
However, in the realm of dreams, something was transmitted through Spirit Sense.
Startled awake, it roared, "Who is it?"
"Who? Where? Who has used the True God Right Method!"
"After countless years since the disappearance of the saints, who has wielded the True God Right Method!"
This was no language known to the Human Clan. In this language, neither syllables nor words carried meaning on their own; meaning was conveyed through the twist at the end of each word, entirely distinct from the "independent language" used by humans.
This was the "Conjugation Language," nonexistent in Shenzhou.
It thrashed about. The Spiritual Power around it immediately boiled.
Then, another ancient being also sleeping was jolted awake.
"Teacher, what is it?"
At the moment the second ancient being awoke, the "Sun" rose.
Sunlight pierced through centuries of darkness, and the ancient being's scales glittered brilliantly under the sun.
It indeed possessed the power of the "Sun," equivalent to that of a main sequence star.
Relying on the hydrogen in its "muscles" and the helium in its "blood," it sustained its own radiance. It appeared not to be solid, consistently losing mass yet replenishing it with every breath. The dissipating mass annihilated, stringently adhering to the mass-energy equivalence, incessantly yielding Spiritual Energy and power.
It was much younger than the most ancient beings but was still older than the Human Clan.
The eldest chanted towards the "Sun," the tone of its chant winding through several shifts, expressing various changes.
"On the land of Shenzhou, in the realm of the Human Demons, the True God Right Method has appeared!"
"The True God Right Method?" The "Sun" puzzled. It was too young and did not understand the significance of this.
The ancient being swung its claws, attempting to burst through the darkness.
However, something unexpected happened. The space-time around it trembled slightly, yet it was unaffected by its Daoist Technique.
The "Sun" also noticed this. It flapped its wings, yet nothing occurred.

On another part of the planet, Wang Qi and Chen Feng continued their empirical testing.
Under the influence of the Memory Body, they had temporarily mastered the Power of Law, momentarily possessing the power to regulate it.
Silver flashes converged around them. That was absolute fairness, the solemnity of an uncaring universe, the culmination of thoughts from countless Law Enforcers over centuries.
Wang Qi quickly sensed the Spirit Sense transmitted within this peculiar "Power of Human Dao."
It was... "power," "glory," "happiness," "sustenance," "the weak," "wealth," "public sentiment"...
This was the standpoint of the Legislator, the thought process of the Legislator, which ultimately fell upon the Law Enforcers.
All thoughts revolved around one core.
Governed by law without bias to kinship or rank, all are judged by the same law.
Only Law Enforcers who do not deviate from this thought can wield such power without harm and without rejection of this power.
Wang Qi was not a law-abiding good citizen, but at this moment, his mind harbored no illegal thoughts, so he wasn't attacked by this power, nor did he repel it.
This was a mutual choice. Just as Du Gui merged with the low-pass Holy Light itself and Du Zhong perhaps with a slight amount of force.
It first tests if my actions are recognized by the divine, second if my heart aligns with the divine. It is neither justified by faith alone nor by deeds alone, but requires both faith and deeds.
However, unlike the God of Holy Light or the Circle of Reason, those two non-Personality Gods, while lacking personality, still possessed a slight intelligence. But this "Law" really lacked even intelligence. The Law System lacked even the basic instincts of a living organism, only capable of simple mechanical operations.
Then, Liu Yi waited a few more minutes.
Then, Liu Yi waited a few more minutes.
Liu Yi called out, "What are you two lads up to? Hurry up and demonstrate some Divine Tao Law!"
"This venerable uncle, this is not Divine Tao, it is Human Dao," Chen Feng sheepishly smiled. "Due to the rushed timing, we haven't developed any suitable Daoist Techniques or organized any usable Daoist Techniques, so we don't really know how to use it."
Liu Yi was caught between laughter and tears. "I just wanted to confirm if your Daoist Techniques had any practical significance!"
