NOVGO.NET Chapter 465: Chaos Entry: Work-Life Balance
Within the Origin Space of the second avatar.
Earth, Water, Wind, and Fire occupied the four poles, constructing an extremely stable foundation of Dao Principles.
The powers of these four Dao Principles transformed into and restrained each other, making the foundation of the Origin Space incomparably solid.
At this moment, the Time Dao Principle and the Space Dao Principle joined in. One above, one below, they nested into the entire Dao Principle system.
The process of integration was extremely smooth, consuming even fewer Dao Sources than when condensing Water, Fire, and Wind before.
It only cost twenty trillion Dao Sources to successfully integrate them.
The second avatar’s realm instantly reached the Sixth-stage Dao Lord level!
It had already become equal to the first avatar’s realm!
“This Myriad Dao Fruit Tree, just how much of the Primordial Chaos’s Heavenly Dao essence did it devour? Its potential is simply too high!”
Su Yuan marveled at the second avatar’s breakthrough speed. A significant part of the reason was precisely because the Myriad Dao Fruit Tree’s foundation was too profound. For the Heavenly Dao to give birth to sentience, it had been channeling essence to the Myriad Dao Fruit Tree for seventy thousand Immeasurable Kalpas. One could say the entire Primordial Chaos had been nurturing this Myriad Dao Fruit Tree!
Now, however, it had been taken by Su Yuan and made into his second avatar!
“Since that’s the case, then I’ll press on!”
Next came the Material Dao Principle and the Energy Dao Principle!
Su Yuan was extremely unfamiliar with these two Dao Principles;
he had not comprehended them before.
But as the master of the Seven Stars Chaos, he naturally possessed the authority to directly comprehend any single Dao Principle belonging to his Chaos.
With the Status of a Chaos Dominator, he directly took control of the Material Dao Principle and the Energy Dao Principle.
After taking control, he continued to comprehend the Dao and principles within them.
These two Dao Principles could be said to be the most fundamental ones.
The Material Dao Principle defined all characteristics of matter: its birth, condensation, properties, changes, and so on.
The Energy Dao Principle determined many characteristics of energy: its birth, annihilation, properties, transformation, and more.
The Material Dao Principle encompassed the Five Elements Dao Principle and the Qiankun Dao Principle;
one needed to comprehend these Dao Principles as a basis before comprehending the Material Dao Principle.
The Energy Dao Principle encompassed Wind, Thunder, Light, Darkness, Ice, and the Space-Time Dao Principle;
its difficulty of comprehension was equally astonishing.
Yet Su Yuan first took control of both, then experienced their characteristics. That was sufficient;
there was no need to go through those comprehension processes at all.
After spending one trillion Dao Sources each to grasp the Material Dao Principle and the Energy Dao Principle.
He then integrated them into the second avatar’s Dao Principle Origin Space.
The Material Dao Principle and the Energy Dao Principle, like a gentle rain moistening things silently, effortlessly integrated into the Dao Principle system built by Earth, Water, Wind, Fire, Space, and Time.
It was as if every corner of the Origin Space contained these two Dao Principles, perfectly merging with the previous six Dao Principles. The process was so smooth it left Su Yuan utterly amazed.
The consumption of Dao Sources was also extremely minimal. After just the basic twenty trillion consumption, the entire integration process was directly completed!
Eighth-stage Dao Lord!
The breakthrough was achieved with such ease!
“The second avatar has come from behind and taken the lead!”
“So fast, so strong, so stable!”
Even Su Yuan felt it was too easy.
But the entire cultivation process was indeed within his control.
The entire Seven Stars Chaos was striving for his breakthrough, supplying his consumption, lending him supreme power. With the most correct breakthrough guidance ahead and special Dao Sources acting as lubricant, the breakthrough process was this smooth.
“Next, are World and Fate!”
The World Dao Principle was the first to join the Origin Space, but this step began to show strain!
He discovered that when the World Dao Principle integrated into the Origin Space, it automatically leaped to the highest position, wanting to subsume all other Dao Principles under itself.
Naturally, the other Dao Principles were unwilling to be subordinate, so they began to repel the World Dao Principle.
The consumption of Dao Sources increased sharply.
Su Yuan realized that the integration at this step absolutely could not be so brute-forced;
it required technique and method.
“The cultivation of a Dao Lord is essentially the process of constructing a Chaos. The World Dao Principle is just one Dao Principle within Chaos, not the ultimate goal with the World Dao Principle at the top. Otherwise, it couldn’t be called Chaos!”
Su Yuan immersed himself in adjusting the Dao Principles during his cultivation. The consumption of Dao Sources increased at an astonishing rate.
Soon, Su Yuan’s cultivation paused because the consumption of Dao Sources had already exceeded two-thirds!
“No good. Relying solely on Dao Sources is still too expensive!”
Su Yuan shifted his gaze to the second avatar’s Eternal Trait — [Balancing Work and Rest]!
Now, Eternal Traits were no longer sufficient to have much effect on a Dao Lord.
Therefore, Su Yuan instead invested Dao Sources into the [Balancing Work and Rest] trait.
On the True Name Jade Disc, the [Balancing Work and Rest] trait shone brilliantly. The color of the trait’s name also changed from the eternal gold to an ancient, chaotic gray.
One trillion!
Ten trillion!
One hundred trillion Dao Sources!
After a full one hundred trillion Dao Sources were completely consumed.
Su Yuan’s [Balancing Work and Rest] trait completely transformed into a chaotic color!
[Trait]: Balancing Work and Rest
[Grade]: Chaos Level
[Effect]: You are very good at balancing work and rest. The longer the Chaos Time spent resting or cultivating, the better the cultivation effect.
[Chaos Time]: Seven Breaths
[Note 1]: This effect can act on cultivators below the Chaos Dominator level.
[Note 2]: The time in effect is Chaos Time. One breath is measured by one cycle of Chaos transforming “Nothingness” into “Existence” through inhalation and exhalation. It is unrelated to time changes within Chaos!
[Note 3]: Can extract a Dao Lord’s Chaos Time for cultivation insights.
At this moment, Su Yuan’s consciousness immersed itself in the special transformation of the [Balancing Work and Rest] trait.
He was astonished to discover that this trait’s effect had reached an unimaginable level. The key point was that this trait effect worked on cultivators below the Chaos Dominator level, which included the Chaos Dominator!
This change directly overturned Su Yuan’s understanding of traits.
He had originally thought that the [True Name Jade Disc] was merely a Dao Artifact, with its upper limit set right there!
However, only this time, when he used Dao Sources to enhance [Balancing Work and Rest], elevating it to a Chaos Trait, did he surprisingly discover that the True Name Jade Disc’s upper limit exceeded his own understanding.
“Could it be that this isn’t a Dao Artifact, but a Chaos Dominator Artifact!”
Su Yuan drew in a sharp breath!
Thinking it over, he understood. Which Dao Artifact could give birth to something as inconceivable as Dao Sources?
Even the conversion by the Transaction Dao Principle was based on the True Name Jade Disc to transform transaction power into True Name power, and then use the True Name Jade Disc to convert it into Dao Sources!
It was essentially still transforming fame into Dao Sources, just under a different name!
“I seem to have truly overlooked the role of traits!”
Su Yuan jolted awake.
“Fortunately, time is the most useless thing for me. As long as I can realize it, it’s fine!”
Su Yuan gave a wry smile. “So the true purpose of Dao Source Fame Points wasn’t for comprehending Dao Principles. It was originally meant for enhancing traits. I just used it for realm advancement at the Dao Lord stage, which of course wasn’t a waste either.”
