Chapter 1784: Nathan’s Divine Rules
After knowing the truth, nothing else mattered to Nathan. The history of the Asura Palace was more than enough to know that there was nothing else important from this place.
Originally, he thought that the Asura Palace would contain secrets about a lot of other things, as it was the first country that had to face the aliens.
Unfortunately, he could only find the dark truth as well as the method to forge divine bodies and true vessels.
In the end, they continued to progress toward their original objective.
Their teams split up a few times, wiping out the aliens as well as searching for the portals.
It took them some time to map out the portals, and they didn’t know whether they had found all the portals on this continent.
After a long two months, they ended up finding a total of seven portals, including the two portals they had previously found.
There was still a discussion on which portal they should take for this trip, but Nathan decided to make that choice at a later date.
Instead, he focused on strengthening everyone, including himself.
The first surprise came from Iris. After mastering all her abilities, she finally took a step on her divine path. Iris formed her first divine rule.
Nathan was happy for her, knowing that she could join them sooner or later.
The other girls weren’t slacking either.
The weakest among them already possessed two divine rules. They were Bella, Alavenya, and Seraphina.
There were other girls with two divine rules, but they had forged their second divine rule far before these three. They were Seraphina and Vivian.
It was quite surprising to see only the two of them. After all, the rest had already formed three divine rules.
Selena was quite obvious because of her natural talent. She was simply ahead of everyone, but Noelle actually managed to form her third divine rule only two days after hers.
Because of that battle against Asura, Noelle’s strength had grown by leaps and bounds.
As a result, she managed to catch up to Selena, even though she was among the last people who forged their first divine rule.
Flora, on the other hand, wasn’t exactly surprising. Everyone knew that the difficulty of her path was on her first divine rule, so Flora managed to catch up with Selena and Alavenya two weeks later.
Still, among them, there was one person who managed to forge her divine body. That person was none other than Luna.
Luna was originally close to this level, so it was only a matter of time before she reached this level.
Evelyn, on the other hand, was in the process of forging her divine body. Unfortunately, because there were two elements in her body, forging her divine body would take a longer time.
Even Xolotl said that this process would require more karma.
Evelyn wasn’t discouraged. She could use two powers at the same time, so she knew she would be stronger than normal gods.
She didn’t receive any help like Noelle with Asura as well.
Nevertheless, Nathan had some confidence that the girls could forge their divine bodies within eight months. This was the time limit Nathan set.
Of course, he utilized the time domain. That way, these eight months could be worth years.
This was the only way for them to speed up the progress.
However, no one actually knew about Nathan’s current progress. Nathan hadn’t said anything about it.
In the end, he decided to walk a much harsher path, fully aware of the difficulty.
Even if Selena and the others ended up surpassing him, he was fine with it.
...
Nathan was sitting on his bed, focusing on his divine rules.
’I have four divine rules. The first rule is, ’I am nothing but a space that is located in a certain time.’
This rule was quite special to him. After all, it reflected his own identity. He might be a person or he might be a persona. Either way, he was just a lump of mass that was located at a certain point in time.
’This rule gives me the flexibility of my existence. This way, I won’t be restrained by space and time.
’The second rule is, ’Space and time are interwoven.’ It’s a pretty simple rule, allowing me to connect my two elements.
’After all, the divine rules are not some hardcore scientific bullshit. Instead, it is a rule that can help one bend the origin of that power.
’In my case, the first rule allows me to wield the space and time that will affect me and everything else around me. The second rule allows me to apply the change in space and time according to my conditions.
’My third rule is, ’Space and time are ever-changing. This means that space and time can be manipulated by me. If combined with the other two rules, I can wield space and time freely.
’And that’s where the fourth rule comes in. ’Space and time are a single body.’ When I first thought about space and time, I couldn’t help but imagine a spiral that looks like an hourglass, something like a wormhole.
’Using it as a body allows me to lay down a foundation to create an even sturdier space and time. This will stop my power from collapsing easily, especially against Yog-Sothoth.’
Nathan fell silent. He had prepared four rules, but he changed his plan at the last moment.
Because the rules were a restraint on how one wielded their power, the more rules one possessed, the stronger the power they wielded.
Nathan originally planned to have four rules, but after reaching this stage, Nathan changed his decision.
Four rules might not be enough for him to defeat Yog-Sothoth, let alone Azathoth. That was why he needed one more rule. This rule would serve as the foundation of everything he possessed and allow him to reach an entirely new level.
A level that had gone beyond this world.
And that rule was, "Space and time are infinite."
