228: The Beginning of the Way of All Dharmas

“Lin Chen, thank you. If it weren’t for you, it would have taken me much longer to mend my regrets and wounds.”

“It’s good that you got what you wished for. I didn’t do too much, so I don’t deserve your thanks.”

As soon as Lin Chen appeared, the Virtual Singer, or rather, the Virtual Goddess of Song, went directly to him and thanked him profusely.

Lin Chen was a bit embarrassed. This was a normal transaction; the Virtual Singer had paid resources to purchase a spot from him to comprehend the False Dream Godhead, thus ascending to Godhood.

This transaction merely advanced her time of ascending to Godhood. Even without Lin Chen, she would have been able to ascend to Godhood and achieve her current happiness after a few thousand years.

However, the Virtual Goddess of Song still thanked Lin Chen. Ascending to Godhood a few thousand years earlier, and mending her regrets and wounds a few thousand years earlier, was a great kindness to her.

Lin Chen couldn’t change the Virtual Goddess of Song’s mind, but being thanked by others and doing something beneficial for them was somewhat spiritually fulfilling and could also bring him joy.

The Virtual Goddess of Song’s Ascension to God banquet was held as scheduled.

Guests arrived in an endless stream.

All members of the Old Deng Alliance attended; even if they couldn't come in person, they sent an avatar.

As members of the Old Deng Alliance, attending a fellow alliance member’s Ascension to God banquet was mandatory. They were all Great Accomplishment Late Bloomer talent holders, natural allies, and had to stand on the same front.

Furthermore, Ascension to God stage cultivators who were relatively close would not miss any Ascension to God banquet.

Every Ascension to God banquet would feature a session where a God would lecture on the Dao. This was a great opportunity to gain insights from powerful beings for free, understand one’s own cultivation path, and improve one’s cultivation.

The core purpose of holding a Ascension to God banquet was for the earlier ascenders to facilitate later ascenders.

Senior Gods who ascended earlier would not block the path of later ascenders; instead, they would clear obstacles and provide a more suitable environment for them to ascend to Godhood.

Therefore, the number of Gods in the Federation would only increase, especially after the conclusion of this century’s grand Ascension to God banquets, the number of newly ascended Gods in the Federation would surely greatly increase.

This time, as many as two hundred Gods attended the banquet.

In addition to the main character, the Virtual Goddess of Song, lecturing on the Dao, ten Gods who cultivated the Universal Dao would also lecture. At that time, a massive temporary Dao Domain would form, lasting for a long time.

The so-called Universal Dao refers to natural laws such as the Five Elements, storms, thunder, frost, and so on, or the Dao of things like battle, swords, and blades.

After all, these Daos are the most widely cultivated Daos among the general populace. Lecturing on these Daos allows listeners to gain more insights.

Lin Chen was naturally one of the ten lecturing Gods.

Sitting in the main seat, he naturally had to show something.

This was also to accumulate experience for his own Ascension to God banquet lecture.

At that time, his Ascension to God banquet held in the Ancestral Court Great World would naturally require some grandeur. When lecturing on the Dao, he must speak with substance, and it would be best if it could benefit all the Federation Gods attending the banquet.

The eating and drinking portion of the banquet did not last long.

After the feasting, the main event of the God’s lecture on the Dao began.

Lin Chen had already decided to accumulate a foundation for the Myriad Laws Dao Path, so he released the formatted individuals he had cultivated in advance.

The formatted individuals are him and yet not him.

The only connection between the two is that their souls originate from the same source, capable of carrying Lin Chen’s true spirit at any time and place.

The Lin Chen possessed by the true spirit is where Lin Chen’s true body resides.

It is precisely because of this state that formatted individuals can comprehend new rules and embark on new Dao paths.

Lin Chen released the first batch of one hundred formatted individuals at once, hiding them in the shallow space around him.

Regarding Lin Chen’s actions, the surrounding Gods simply acted as if they didn’t see anything.

Why should a heaven’s chosen explain their actions to others?

Moreover, a heaven’s chosen who has already matured naturally has profound intentions in their actions, and it’s normal not to understand them.

The Virtual Goddess of Song began her lecture on the Dao. She primarily cultivated the Dao of Dreams, with her main direction being the True Dream, which is a relatively orthodox cultivation direction of the Dao of Dreams, with an Upper God level Upper limit.

With Lin Chen’s comprehension, he could easily comprehend the Rule of Dreams from the Virtual Goddess of Song’s lecture on the Dao of Dreams, and further derive and comprehend Rules of Illusion, Rules of Truth, and so on.

This is why Lin Chen released the first batch of one hundred formatted individuals, allowing these individuals to listen and comprehend the Dao together, anchoring a 1% mastery of new Dao rules.

Three hours later, the first formatted individual had already entered the Dao, with a 0.01% mastery of the Rule of Dreams.

The Rule of Dreams has been entered. The subsequent improvement is not difficult; one only needs to immerse themselves in the environment of the Virtual Goddess of Song’s lecture on the Dao, and naturally, they will reach 1% mastery.

Another two hours passed, and the second formatted individual also entered the Dao, with a 0.01% mastery of the Rule of Illusion.

Dream and illusion are inseparable, and the difficulty of comprehending both is similar, with many commonalities. Therefore, after comprehending the Rule of Dreams, one will inevitably comprehend the Rule of Illusion.

Most people would only choose one as their main cultivation. Those with talent would combine the two, directly comprehending the composite rule of the Dao of Dream and Illusion. However, most people’s talent is limited, and they can only choose to comprehend a single rule.

At this moment, the Gods attending the banquet, who were secretly observing Lin Chen, finally understood what he was doing.

They then thought that Lin Chen’s actions were very consistent with his identity.

He possesses the Great Accomplishment Late Bloomer talent, and his own talent is also top-notch, with an unparalleled amount of luck.

Walking the Myriad Laws Dao Path is like adding wings to a tiger, a natural fit.

Ordinary people struggle to comprehend even one ordinary rule, but for a heaven’s chosen, comprehending rules is as simple as eating and drinking. Comprehending more rules and walking the Myriad Laws Dao Path is perfectly fine.

And indeed, that was the case.

Three days later, the Virtual Goddess of Song’s lecture on the Dao ended.

Lin Chen already had seven formatted individuals who had comprehended new rules.

And the individual who first comprehended the Rule of Dreams had already reached 1% mastery.

At this point, Lin Chen directly sealed it and stored it in the Lin Chen Dao Domain. Afterwards, it would only need to grow through his talent.

Even if he didn't touch this formatted individual later, it would only take 480 years to increase its rule mastery to 100%.

If there were future opportunities related to the Myriad Laws Dao, this time could be shortened even further.

Moreover, less than five hundred years is not an issue for Lin Chen, who has almost infinite lifespan.

Furthermore, five hundred years is not even enough for him to raise his cultivation to the Upper God level. The layout of the Myriad Laws Dao can completely keep up with his cultivation improvement speed, and he can directly use it when needed.

As for other rules that have not yet reached 1% mastery, there is no need to worry. There will be nine more Gods lecturing on the Dao later. Learning from others’ experiences, he can naturally meet the 1% rule mastery requirement through analogy.

The second lecturing God began to lecture on the Dao.

This was a God who primarily cultivated the Rule of Fire. There were more derived and associated rules of fire, which could not be compared to the Rule of Dreams.

Moreover, Lin Chen also possessed the Fire God Mountain, a semi-supreme treasure, making the comprehension of the Rule of Fire and its derived and associated rules even simpler.

Therefore, after three days of lecturing, 23 formatted individuals had already met the sealing requirements.

Subsequently, eight more Gods lectured on the Dao, and Lin Chen’s formatted individuals were no longer enough.

All one hundred formatted individuals had comprehended new rules, with their mastery reaching 1%, and had been sealed into the newly opened Myriad Laws Hall in the Lin Chen Dao Domain.

At this point, Lin Chen had already entered the Myriad Laws Dao Path.
