All Gods: Starting with Two Families

Chapter 49 The Lock of LawsIn front of Zhou Zheng was a blue ball of light; this was a ”Law Lock.”

By analyzing the Law within it, one could open the lock and proceed to the next staircase. There were 777 staircases in total, meaning 777 Law Locks needed to be undone.

Zhou Zheng’s Divine Thought touched the soft blue halo, ”This aura... it’s Spring Rain.”

He calmed his mind, carefully sensing the intricate Law structure within, and attempted to simulate and guide it using his own Divine Power.

Although the process was initially clumsy, relying on his previous accumulation and recent intense cramming, he peeled back the layers, analyzing the mysteries within bit by bit.

He didn’t know how much time had passed, but suddenly, a barely audible ”click” sounded. The blue ball of light dissipated in response, transforming into a cerulean thread of Law, thinner than a strand of hair, which instantly branded itself into the rules of his Divine Domain.

This newly born thread of Law was exceptionally weak, yet it carried the pure vitality of Spring Rain.

It spontaneously coiled around the pitch-black curse patterns clinging to the crystal walls of his Divine Domain.

Although its power was far from sufficient to disperse or purify that dense power of Death, and it couldn’t even completely stop its slow spread.

Yet, the wriggling speed of those pitch-black patterns seemed to be hindered by a negligible amount by this sliver of gentle vitality.

At the same time, Zhou Zheng clearly felt that the water vapor permeating the air inside his Divine Domain seemed to become warmer and more vibrant, with the concentration of water elements increasing by a tiny margin.

”It works!” A surge of excitement filled Zhou Zheng.

He took a deep breath and stepped onto the second staircase without hesitation.

...

Outside the rainbow staircase, countless flowing light water mirrors floating above the Plane plaza clearly reflected the climbing progress of every challenger.

In one of the water mirrors, a deity projection that was emerald green all over and radiated vigorous vitality was particularly eye-catching; she had already crossed the 234th staircase, and her speed remained steady, drawing gasps of admiration from the watching deities.

”At this speed, Lady Qingmu must have broken the record for recent sessions!”

”At this rate, there’s great hope for her to hit level 666!”

Meanwhile, in another water mirror, Zhou Zheng’s blurry projection, composed of water and wind elements, remained on the 112th staircase, his progress slow.

He was frowning at a Law Lock that was clearly more complex, interwoven with dual-colored flowing light.

The higher one went, the more types of elements the Law Locks contained and the more complex their structures became, causing the difficulty of breaking them to increase geometrically.

Zhou Zheng could feel that his comprehension of the basic water and wind Laws was gradually deepening during this constant process of breaking them.

If given enough time, he was confident he could solve them on his own.

But the rainbow staircase would only exist for seven days! If he spent too much time on the lower levels in the early stages, his time to push for higher rewards in the Late Stage would inevitably be stretched thin.

”Finally... do I have to use this after all?” Zhou Zheng sighed inwardly.

Deep within his consciousness, that cold yet incredibly clear glimmer quietly circulated.

[All-Knowing Eye], activate!

His perspective shifted instantly!

The profound and dizzying dual-element Law ball of light before him instantly shed all its mist and disguise.

In his ”eyes,” it transformed into a concrete and clear complex ”knot” woven and tangled from water-blue and wind-cyan energy threads!

Although still complex, it had turned from an abstract comprehension puzzle into a ”physical” structure that could be observed, analyzed, and solved!

The difficulty had dropped by more than a hundred times!

Zhou Zheng focused his mind and calmed his breath, his Divine Power transforming into the finest engraving knife as he carefully tapped on several key nodes of the ”knot,” guiding his own water and wind Law threads to weave and pull...

”Solved!”

A flash of light shone around the deity projection representing Zhou Zheng, and his stalled footsteps moved again, his speed soaring abruptly!

He was unstoppable! Level 127, 223, 260!

His ranking on the water mirror shot up rapidly, and with an astonishing speed, he broke through the 300-level mark, his progress biting firmly at the heels of that peerless Qingmu deity!

”Look at that water-wind dual-element deity!”

”This solving speed... it’s just too absurd!”

The eyes of all the deities were drawn to this dark horse that had suddenly emerged.

However, just after Zhou Zheng’s projection barely crossed the 333rd staircase, his astonishing speed suddenly slowed down, and eventually, it came to a complete stop at the 341st level.

”As expected, he’s reached his limit.”

”Reaching level 333 is already far beyond expectations; that’s the threshold for three-element composite Laws!”

”Indeed, most deities can’t even get past the 111-level dual-element barrier; he’s already very impressive.”

The watching deities all wore looks of understanding.

But just then, something happened that made all the onlookers drop their jaws—

Inside the water mirror, that water-wind dual-element deity projection, who had just stopped at the 341st staircase, instead of trying to push higher, actually... began to slowly walk back down.
