Comprehension Ability: Creating and teaching the Dao in various worlds

Through the memories of the Saint Heart Mirror shards, Lin Yuan quickly confirmed the total number of weapons.

Including the source of Lin Yuan’s current perspective, that is, a Divine Weapon resembling a mirror.

Complete Divine Weapon… the Saint Heart Mirror.

“So, ten thousand years ago, the total number of Divine Weapons was actually a hundred?”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

For over twenty years, he had been collecting information about Divine Weapons.

The numerous pieces of intelligence he had obtained all mentioned that in ancient times, the number of Divine Weapons exceeded thirty-six.

Latter, due to some unknown event, most of the Divine Weapons had disappeared.

However, there was no specific information on how many Divine Weapons there were.

Only now, by viewing the memories through the Saint Heart Mirror shard,

had Lin Yuan confirmed the total number of Divine Weapons.

A hundred.

A hundred Divine Weapons.

Just as Lin Yuan continued to observe these Divine Weapons.

Boom!!!

The centralmost ‘tower’-shaped Divine Weapon stirred.

Its tremendous power exploded, affecting the other Divine Weapons.

This caused the other Divine Weapons to be forced into action.

The spear engraved with the sun and moon gently thrust forward, its sharp aura converging, directly piercing through a fan-shaped Divine Weapon.

A melee ensued among the hundred Divine Weapons.

Heaven and Earth were in turmoil.

If the battlefield had not been in the Nine Heavens, far from the ground,

there probably wouldn’t have been anything left of the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms by now.

The melee lasted for several months.

In the end, most of the Divine Weapons were shattered, turning into fragments scattered across the four corners of the world.

Only thirty-six Divine Weapons still stood in the arena.

These thirty-six Divine Weapons included the Nation-Protecting Divine Weapon Sun and Moon Spear of the Greater Yan Dynasty today.

The aura emanating from the Sun and Moon Spear at that time was somewhat unstable,

but it was clearly the victor.

“The melee among the Divine Weapons…”

Lin Yuan thought to himself.

As for the cause of the melee, Lin Yuan could roughly guess it.

The Divine Weapons needed to consume the Human Race in order to grow slowly.

But the number of humans was limited.

With the appetite of a hundred Divine Weapons, the Human Race of the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms could not satisfy them.

That was what ultimately led to this great battle.

Only the most powerful Divine Weapons were entitled to enjoy the blood feast.

As for the weaker Divine Weapons, they were directly shattered to extinction.

…

In front of the desk,

Lin Yuan set down the Saint Heart Mirror shard he was holding.

His expression turned ponderous.

This time he had traveled from afar, leaving the Capital,

coming to Wuyan City. It was indeed the right decision.

He had not only acquired a Divine Weapon shard that could be described as a manifestation of the essence of the rules,

but had also learned about that great war eight thousand years ago, not recorded in any book.

The great battle among a hundred Divine Weapons.

“Master.”

“Master, spare my life…”

From the desk, the Saint Heart Mirror shard emitted a faint spiritual fluctuation.

While forcibly conducting a Soul Search, Lin Yuan also casually refined the mirror shard.

If it had been a complete Divine Weapon, Lin Yuan would not have been able to refine it, but as it was only a shard, it naturally could not withstand Lin Yuan.

After refining the Saint Heart Mirror shard, Lin Yuan then had absolute control over its consciousness.

Even if he could not destroy the shard, erasing the consciousness within it was merely a matter of thought.

The Saint Heart Mirror shard was also aware of its predicament, completely shifting from its previous negotiating stance, directly addressing Lin Yuan as ‘Master’.

“Spare your life?”

Lin Yuan glanced at the Saint Heart Mirror shard.

He realized the essence of the rules within the Saint Heart Mirror shard, which had nothing to do with its consciousness.

Even if the consciousness were to vanish, as long as the shard itself existed, the essence of the rules would remain, not impeding Lin Yuan’s realization.

However, now the survival or destruction of this consciousness was within a single thought from Lin Yuan, so there was no need to erase it so quickly.

Otherwise, who knows how many years it would be before another consciousness emerged.

Moreover, a Divine Weapon shard with its own consciousness indeed had some use for Lin Yuan, at least it could ‘revive’ spontaneously, without Lin Yuan having to stimulate it.

…

Outside the grand hall,

Sikong Lun was somewhat at a loss.

As soon as the Saint Heart Mirror shard was forcibly ‘pulled into’ the grand hall,

Sikong Lun realized that his most significant support might have fallen.

At this moment, Sikong Lun felt both joy and anxiety.

The way Lin Yuan effortlessly suppressed the Evil Soldier gave Sikong Lun a tinge of ambition he shouldn’t possess.

For thousands of years, the Human Race had been mere food for the Divine Weapons,

never had anyone been able to counter the Divine Weapons, even just a Divine Weapon shard.

However, Lin Yuan’s arrival disrupted this balance.

Yet, what Lin Yuan’s origins truly were and whether he was indeed a “human,” or if he would stand on the side of the Divine Weapon, remained unclear to Sikong Lun.

Time slipped away.

While Sikong Lun became lost in his chaotic thoughts,

a voice resounded silently by his ear.

“Come inside as well.”

“Yes.”

Sikong Lun took a deep breath.

As if facing judgment, he stepped inside the great hall.

The interior of the hall was just as Sikong Lun remembered it.

The only difference was a casually placed fragment of a mirror on the table where Lin Yuan sat.

A mirror fragment?

Sikong Lun swallowed hard.

Realizing that it wasn’t just any piece of mirror, but rather a revered and worshipped Evil Soldier of their Defying Divine Society.

“My lord.”

Sikong Lun fell to his knees with a thud.

“Hmm?”

Lin Yuan glanced at him casually.

“From today onward, I want your Defying Divine Society to submit to me completely. Can you do that?” Lin Yuan asked indifferently.

The influence of the Defying Divine Society spanned all of the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms.

The branch where Sikong Lun was located was merely one headquarters within the Greater Yan Dynasty.

Such a headquarters was one of thirty-five others, all hidden within the other thirty-five kingdoms.

Lin Yuan’s implied command was for Sikong Lun to subjugate the other thirty-five headquarters of the Defying Divine Society.

To bring the entire Defying Divine Society under Lin Yuan’s command.

Facing Lin Yuan’s words,

Sikong Lun fell silent.

If it had been anyone else who spoke to him like this,

Sikong Lun would have refused without a second thought.

The Defying Divine Society represented the last line in opposing the rule of the Divine Weapons.

Even if they worshipped an Evil Soldier, it was only to bolster their courage against the true Divine Weapons.

Sikong Lun could die, but the Defying Divine Society must never perish.

Otherwise, all of the Human Race in the Central Plains Thirty-Six Kingdoms would forever become mere fodder for the Divine Weapons.

“I just want to know one thing.” Sikong Lun stared at Lin Yuan and asked desperately, “Are you human, and how do you view the Divine Weapons?”

“Human…”

A smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.

He looked at Sikong Lun, who was ready to face death,

and slowly said, “I am indeed human, and as for those Divine Weapons…I’ve disliked them for quite some time.”

Upon hearing this,

Sikong Lun felt an immense relief.

“Going forward, the Defying Divine Society will follow your lead,” Sikong Lun said respectfully.

Having received the answer he sought,

Sikong Lun’s heart finally relaxed completely.

To preserve the spark of hope for the Human Race, the Defying Divine Society was even willing to worship a former Divine Weapon as an Evil Soldier.

How much more so for Lin Yuan, who was a ‘human’?

The capabilities Lin Yuan demonstrated provided Sikong Lun with hope of resisting the Divine Weapons.

Thus, leading the rest of the Defying Divine Society to pledge allegiance to him was only natural.

…

After subjugating Sikong Lun,

Lin Yuan issued his first command.

It was to report all known intelligence about the Evil Soldiers possessed by the Defying Divine Society.

For Lin Yuan,

each Evil Soldier represented an external manifestation of the world’s essential laws.

Observing their essence held great benefits and could significantly enhance the Martial Path Evolutionary Path,

aiding Lin Yuan to advance sooner to the Fourth Rank.

And not just to the Fourth Rank, but it also elevated the effect on the Martial Path Evolutionary Path.

“Does my lord intend to continue subjugating those Evil Soldiers?” Sikong Lun immediately discerned Lin Yuan’s intentions.

“You must be cautious, my lord. These Evil Soldiers are not easily subdued…” Sikong Lun said softly.

Though Lin Yuan had overwhelmingly suppressed the fragment of the Saint Heart Mirror,

there is a difference between a Divine Weapon and its fragments.

Some fragments, being larger and containing more of the full Divine Weapon, possess greater power.

Even if they still can’t defeat Lin Yuan, if one were to escape, it could still cause future troubles.

“No matter.” Lin Yuan waved his hand dismissively.

With his current strength, no Divine Weapons could emerge, and he could instantly suppress any number of fragments.

…

Time slipped away.

Another fifty years had passed.
