"Is it the law?" Adrian mumbled to himself.After all, only through the transformation of laws could celestial veins be generated, allowing them to endlessly release spiritual energy and nurturing the veins and preventing them from drying up.The Exile Realm had not yet fully replenished its law power, so it could not automatically form spiritual veins. This was the explanation Adrian came up with after much contemplation. He had a reason for this. When his spiritual power reached its peak, it turned white. This somewhat coincided with the power of faith. The power of any of the seven laws ultimately became white faith power.Suddenly, Adrian thought of a principle on Earth that might explain everything. Laws, and the various attributes of laws, were absolutely ordered and distinct. Yet, everything tended toward entropy, becoming more disordered and chaotic. This increase in entropy was spontaneous. Therefore, once celestial veins were formed, the phenomenon of law fragments transfo
It turned out there was another elder named Orice, who was at the early Nascent Soul Stage, and he worked covertly alongside Orlando. Both were Clyde’s father’s servants, and before his death, his father handed over both of their life cores to him."But after Father died, my other siblings refused to accept me," Clyde said.Celesta Rain Island was vast, spanning over a thousand miles. Although Clyde could occupy the most important island mountain, his siblings were not ordinary people and wouldn’t easily relinquish their gains. Each had occupied various celestial grounds on Celesta Rain Island, and although they outwardly obeyed him, inwardly, they defied him.The island became fragmented, both in terms of loyalty and power. Each heir had their own followers, and even with Orlando’s support, it did not mean Clyde commanded respect. Adrian had seen this clearly long ago, and unsurprisingly, this problem remained unsolved. Hence, Clyde thought of Adrian and came to seek his advice. Th
Clyde felt satisfied with this plan at first but quickly grew distressed again. He said, "Mr. Adrian, while your method is effective, it's difficult for me to overcome the influence of my siblings in just three years. They have many loyal supporters."Adrian smiled and replied, "There's another tactic you can use—mislead them. Once you have organized things among your siblings, those without a leader will be a disorganized mob. They will be a fearful bunch. Use this to your advantage by summoning everyone under the pretense of a meeting called by the island leader. They won't dare disobey. Then, it will be the time to act.“If you resort to killing hastily, you'll only push people away. Instead, use this strategy to mislead them. Have a trusted aide bring a deer into the great hall and claim it's a horse. Observe how many people stay quiet. Those who remain silent are neutral and can be won over or promoted. Those who agree are likely your allies. As for those who argue, you can make
“Oh!” Clyde exclaimed. “You’re mistaken, Mr. Adrian. From now on, this island is yours. It will no longer appear on Celesta Rain Island's sea charts. Although it has only a micro celestial vein, the spirit spring here is more than enough for your training. Plus, all the island's residents will be under your control. You can take on apprentices if you wish and even establish your own faction. Celesta Rain Island will oversee and assist you.”Clyde's offer carried a subtle threat, which Adrian clearly understood.Adrian, wary of establishing his own power, responded, “Lumia Isle only has a micro celestial vein. I’m not capable of forming a faction here. Besides, as a level-nine immortal, I lack the means to build a faction. I prefer to wander, with the sky as my blanket and the earth as my bed, fishing and training each day. That’s enough for me.” He smiled bitterly as he spoke.Seeing Adrian's genuine and straightforward demeanor, Clyde said nothing more. He pretended to be reluctant
Adrian's biggest challenge was the incomplete laws within the Exile Realm. Once law fragments formed, they would generate elements matching their attributes. For instance, with laws related to water and fire, his small world could naturally produce water, rain, and even ignite fires, accompanied by thunderstorms.However, due to the absence of earth attributes, the formation of islands and land was very slow, almost stagnant. The few islands that had formed were mostly made of sediment from when he first introduced seawater.Similarly, without enough law fragments, the corresponding attributes couldn’t be generated within the domain. This lack of attributes meant that inhabitants couldn't practice laws, and new law fragments couldn’t be produced. Once law fragments were present, they would recycle endlessly, a testament to natural power.Adrian had been troubled by this issue for a long time and even considered killing level-nine dark beasts to use their residual law fragments to fu
Over the past few days, the Exile Realm grew significantly due to the difference in time flow, expanding to about 130 miles in radius. This made it four times the size of Glimmering Island, with a very high altitude.In such a vast space, even the aura essence within the cave couldn't fully stabilize. This meant there was a substantial concentration difference: the aura essence entering the Exile Realm not only settled at the bottom but also dispersed in all directions. The aura essence didn't gather together once inside the Exile Realm and instead moved throughout the Exile Realm. Some of the flora throughout the world absorbed the aura essence well, creating areas with higher concentration, while other areas remained less dense.Adrian noticed that the aura essence in the cave was decreasing rapidly, and realized that the energy from this cave was just a drop in the bucket for the Exile Realm. To fill the entire small world, many celestial veins would be required to ensure the spac
Eloise didn’t turn around, knowing it could only be Adrian. She pouted and snorted a few times before falling silent.Adrian smiled and said, “Would you like me to find you some entertainment? It seems like you’re quite bored.”Eloise replied, “You won’t let me go out, and being here feels like a prison. What kind of entertainment can I find here?”Adrian said, “Your mother gave specific instructions, and the letter was from you to me. Are you trying to go against her orders? Even if you did, I wouldn’t recommend it. That higher being needs someone like you to meet its needs.”“But I can’t just keep wasting time here, can I?” Eloise said, clearly unhappy with her current life, which revolved around eating, drinking, sleeping, and teasing mortals.Adrian responded, “With your temperament, finding enjoyment outside will be tough. Let me offer some advice: to find joy in anything, you first need to set a goal. Achieve it, and you’ll gain a sense of accomplishment. It’s through accomp
Eloise seemed to grasp the concept and secretly admired her father. Even though he was only at level-eight, his understanding surpassed hers, despite her being above level-nine.“So what should we do?” Eloise asked, eager to take action. Being here had made her feel quite frustrated.Adrian replied, “Don’t rush. I’m planning to diffuse the external aura essence into the Exile Realm. This means that the Exile Realm will be fixed in that cave. Since the aura essence inside is low, it will continuously diffuse in.”“But that’s too slow…” Eloise said, her voice trailing off. “The Exile Realm is so vast, and there’s nothing for me to do here, right?”Adrian smiled and said, “Silly girl, it is a slow process. The excitement for me is in the strategy of taking law fragments from that higher existence. I’ll keep searching for high-grade celestial veins outside and transplant them into the cave.”“As for you, you’re much more important to me. I need you to help plan for every aspect of the
