After one Yuanhui, the three thousand laws of the Eternal World were largely complete, and the Sea of World Laws had basically taken shape. However, the Yin-Yang Divine Demons, whose consciousness could still barely maintain clarity despite the progressing Sea of World Laws, could no longer hold on and completely sank into it.
Their divine demon bodies and immortal true spirits were gradually becoming illusory, merging into the Sea of World Laws.
Meanwhile, Ding Yun continued to seize the opportunity to copy various laws within the Sea of Cosmic Laws. She dared not perform any other actions, let alone help the Yin-Yang Divine Demons.
This was because previously, as soon as Ding Yun had the thought of helping the Yin-Yang Divine Demons, delaying their complete Daoization to gain more time for copying laws, and had extended her soul to approach them, she felt a terrifying oppressive force descend.
At the same time, she sensed from the void that if she had truly taken the step to touch and awaken the Yin-Yang Divine Demons, she might have been immediately suppressed by the world and Daoized into oblivion.
At this moment, Ding Yun finally understood.
The reason the world was not yet completely perfect was that the Yin-Yang Divine Demons had not perished, and thus the Yin-Yang laws could not be complete. Therefore, the World Consciousness absolutely would not allow any deviation in the matter of the Yin-Yang Divine Demons' Daoization and demise. Even if Ding Yun might not have the ability to fully awaken them, the World Consciousness did not want to see her attempt it, causing unforeseen complications, and thus intervened to stop her.
Furthermore, the reason she could copy laws so easily and without obstruction was likely because the World Consciousness considered the Daoization of the Yin-Yang Divine Demons to be more important, channeling the full power of the Sea of World Laws towards them and not deeming Ding Yun worthy of even a sliver of attention or power. This had given her such a golden opportunity.
Understanding the situation, Ding Yun naturally dared not do anything that might displease the World Consciousness.
She could only seize this brief period before the Yin-Yang Divine Demons' complete Daoization to copy more laws, pushing herself to the limit, even burning her own origin power to fuel her computational abilities, in order to copy as many laws as possible.
Unfortunately, once they fell into deep Daoization, the Yin-Yang Divine Demons could not hold on for long.
In less than a tenth of a Yuanhui, they completely Daoized and vanished. Following this, the Sea of World Laws became complete, the three thousand laws were perfected, the world reached completion, and the entire world began its rapid expansion once more. Ding Yun, along with the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram, was then expelled from the Sea of World Laws.
That's right, the Yin-Yang Divine Demons had Daoized, but their accompanying treasure, the Innate Yin-Yang Diagram, had not. Ding Yun had slyly taken it with her. After leaving, Ding Yun, without the slightest pause, broke through the spatial barriers and re-entered the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven. In just a few seconds, she completely refined the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, whose Yin-Yang Divine Demon imprint had already vanished, and hid herself with it.
Following this, Ding Yun completely sealed off the Yin-Yang Cave Heaven, ignoring all external affairs, and opened the seal on her main body, awakening her innate immortal true spirit to begin her seclusion.
Her seclusion focused on three main tasks.
The first task was to use her innate immortal true spirit as the foundation, absorbing innate spiritual energy and various innate origins to reconstruct a top-tier innate Dao body. This was a top-tier humanoid innate Dao body where the five elements' origins formed the five viscera, the sun and moon's origins served as the eyes, the turbid energy's origin formed the body, and the pure energy's origin became the soul. With so many origins gathered, even a mere humanoid innate Dao body would be comparable to a top-tier innate divine demon Dao body. As for her main body, which contained the laws of computation, she decided to directly fuse it with its accompanying treasure, completely refining them into a Creation Jade Disk containing the three thousand laws.
Having inherited all the legacy of the Yin-Yang Divine Demons, Ding Yun had this much foundation.
The second task was to re-examine and comprehend all the laws she had merely copied earlier, to gain complete mastery. She would also use these laws to construct the virtual world within her Dantian, facilitating deeper simulations and deductions in the future.
The third task was, of course, to create cultivation techniques and enlightenment techniques suitable for this world, based on the information from these laws and the world's reality.
Now that the initial batch of innate divine demons who controlled the laws had basically all perished, the comprehension of laws should no longer require their permission. Therefore, the deduced cultivation techniques could naturally extend beyond the law level, pushing forward to the theoretical level of enlightenment, and only then stop.
After all, if Ding Yun could not deduce a method of enlightenment, how could she be worthy of being called a Dao Ancestor?
After these three tasks were completed, Ding Yun planned to continue accumulating strength, at least reaching the verge of breaking through to the Hunyuan Daluo Golden Immortal realm before emerging from seclusion.
Otherwise, she would find it difficult to feel at ease traversing the world.
During Ding Yun's seclusion, the entire Eternal World expanded for another full three thousand six hundred Yuanhui before its rapid expansion stopped, concluding the expansion phase of its completed world laws. However, this did not mean the world ceased to expand. The complete cycle of yin and yang within the heavens and earth allowed the world to maintain a slow, stable expansion state.
Continuously increasing its overall area and nurturing its world origin.
Compared to the world's expansion, another event had a more profound impact: the significant weakening of the innate divine demons and the gradual dominance of innate beings.
After the Daoization of the Yin-Yang Divine Demons, the remaining innate divine demons, lacking the power to suppress the world and awe all beings, were no longer a match for the immensely numerous innate beings. Yet, they still considered themselves superior and continued to enslave the innate beings wantonly.
Ultimately, the vast numbers and not insignificant strength of the innate beings logically led to rebellion and a reshuffling. They joined forces to comprehensively purge the surviving innate divine demons, and in less than a hundred Yuanhui, they completely overthrew the era of the innate divine demons who held sway over laws, and stepped boldly into an era belonging solely to themselves, the innate beings.
Of course, although the world had entered the era of innate beings, it did not mean innate divine demons were completely extinct. Many innate divine demons were very difficult to kill completely. The nature of their innate immortal true spirits meant their demise could only be considered temporary.
As long as their innate immortal true spirits were not completely annihilated, they could one day revive and return.
Therefore, in reality, this could only be considered the superficial extinction of innate divine demons. In secret, an unknown number of innate divine demons, possessing only fragments of their immortal true spirits and incomplete origins, were hiding within concealed innate formations, either attempting to recondense their innate divine demon bodies or abandoning them entirely, degrading their foundations and becoming innate beings to regain their freedom sooner.
They would then venture out to search for their lost origins, spiritual treasures, and even fragments of their immortal true spirits.
However, even so, it would be difficult for them to regain their former glory. After all, all law authority had now returned to the world. The cultivation methods of the past, which focused solely on cultivating a particular law, were no longer suitable for the current era. Thus, even if those innate divine demons were fortunate enough to survive and revive, they would not be much stronger than top-tier innate beings.
Their era had passed.
From now on, they would either cling to the past, refusing to let go of their former glory and finding it difficult to progress further, or they would adapt to the current era, change their cultivation techniques, seek new opportunities in the new era, and create new glories.
