Suddenly, Li Xiaotian’s expression froze. He seemed to have grasped something. The power of the laws of lightning and moonlight—the lightning seemed more potent.
"It's because Senior Dao Xuan's control over the power of lightning laws is stronger, hence his strength surpasses that of Granny Yue'e."
"Indeed, the power of laws also varies in strength. Therefore, if you wish to break through to the Overlord level, you must first find a rule that suits you, then comprehend it, understand it, and connect with it."
The Demon Lord spoke unhurriedly, imparting his cultivation experience from his breakthrough to the Heavenly level to Li Xiaotian.
"This is my experience when I comprehended the power of laws. I comprehended the laws of the Demonic Path, or rather, I created the laws of the Demonic Path. Before me, there was no demon in the world, but after me, there is only the sole demon, myself."
"The laws of heaven and earth do not inherently exist, or rather, all kinds of laws exist in the world. If you control a new law, it then comes into existence."
"Another point is that one law can be comprehended by countless people, but this situation will lead to none of them being able to fully control the power of that law. Therefore, to become a true powerhouse, one needs to comprehend laws that fewer people, or no one, has comprehended."
"Just like me, the laws of the Demonic Path are solely mine. Hence, within the same realm, no one is my match."
The Demon Lord's tone was filled with pride. He had created the Demonic Path and solely controlled one law, thus he had the confidence.
"Laws, lightning laws, moon laws, Demonic Path laws."
Li Xiaotian fell into contemplation. How to comprehend the power of laws? They were ethereal existences, invisible and intangible, how could one comprehend them?
And what laws could he comprehend? His strength was not weak, but he had no clue, or rather, he was a blank slate.
Seeing Li Xiaotian lost in thought, the Demon Lord continued to slumber. He had said all that needed to be said; the rest depended on Li Xiaotian's fortune.
In fact, in the Demon Lord's eyes, Li Xiaotian was too impatient. He had only been at the late Imperial stage for a short time, and he was already so eager to break through to the Overlord level.
One must know that in ancient times, individuals with strong talent took decades, or even centuries, to advance from the late Imperial stage to the Overlord level, and even that was considered good luck.
As for those with dull aptitude, it was common for them to remain at the late Imperial stage for tens of thousands of years, or even until the end of their lifespan.
In reality, no martial artist who could cultivate to the late Imperial stage had poor talent, but advancing further was incredibly difficult.
It tested not only a martial artist's talent but also their opportunities and luck.
Li Xiaotian’s talent and opportunities were not lacking; the rest depended on his luck. It might be a sudden flash of inspiration, or something done casually; in short, it all depended on him from now on.
For the entire night, Li Xiaotian gained nothing and had no inspiration, but he wasn't discouraged. After all, if the Overlord level could be easily broken through, there wouldn't be so few Overlords in the world.
Li Xiaotian guessed that the number of dormant Heavenly level experts might not be high. For the entire human race, if the number of Heavenly level experts exceeded a hundred, it would be considered good.
"Big Brother, Qin Huang requests your presence!"
As soon as he stepped out of his room, Li Xiaotian encountered Long Shi Wu, who had an unpleasant expression.
"What's wrong?" Li Xiaotian asked, looking puzzled.
"It's nothing major, just a bunch of flies wanting to freeload. They're quite annoying, still thinking this is the old world? What collective sanctions, condemnations, bullshit."
Long Shi Wu said disdainfully, with contempt on his face, and then explained the specific situation to Li Xiaotian.
After hearing Long Shi Wu's description, Li Xiaotian’s expression became strange. The Dragon God Mecha played a significant role in Da Qin's victory this time. While the awakened forces might not care about mechas, some contemporary nations placed great importance on them, dispatching envoys to Da Qin overnight to seek the mecha construction technology.
Regarding the Dragon God Mecha technology, Li Xiaotian and Qin Huang were in agreement: sell it to any power that could afford it.
However, after hearing Long Shi Wu's description, Li Xiaotian couldn't help but laugh. Envoys from eight countries had arrived, but they wanted to obtain Da Qin's technology for free.
It was no wonder Long Shi Wu was contemptuous. At this point, they were still playing the old game, constantly calling for joint international meetings, with several countries ganging up to resist a certain nation, always employing public opinion attacks and various forms of smear campaigns.
But what Li Xiaotian found amusing was that in this current era, who was afraid of that? The world was in chaos; if you were powerful, your words held sway. The old tactics were no longer effective. Now, one could kill people! And there was no need to consider international influence.
"Let's go and see. Qin Huang is too soft-hearted and probably won't be able to refuse them."
Li Xiaotian said with a smile, his eyes glinting with amusement. He wanted to see what tricks these envoys from nearly-doomed countries could pull.
"Qin Huang, Da Qin cannot be selfish. We humans are facing an unprecedented crisis. This is a matter of human survival. Da Qin should share the mecha technology without compensation to enhance the strength of all countries. Only then can we overcome this disaster!"
As soon as Li Xiaotian entered the room, he heard a middle-aged man speaking with a righteous tone. He had golden hair and a hooked nose, and he was the envoy from the United States of America.
The United States of America had suffered no less of a blow than Da Qin after the great change in the world. This country was originally built on another's land. Therefore, when the ancient powers of the American continent returned, they found their descendants being slaughtered, suppressed, and their homeland occupied by outsiders. One could imagine the fury of those powers.
In just one night, 98% of the United States of America's territory was occupied by awakened forces. Furthermore, the US military and ordinary citizens suffered countless casualties. Currently, the United States of America was merely clinging to survival in a single city.
Of course, the people of the United States of America were also ruthless. Possessing a large number of nuclear weapons, they threatened the awakened forces with mutual destruction, which thereby halted the latter's offensive.
It could be said that the current situation of the United States of America was even more pitiful than Da Qin's was previously.
"Dragon King!!"
"Li Xiaotian!!!"
"Lord of the Dragon King Hall!!!"
Upon seeing Li Xiaotian enter the room, the faces of the eight national envoys changed drastically. Even before the world changed, Li Xiaotian's appearance had spread throughout various countries, making him a target of national-level surveillance and vigilance.
"You may continue. I heard from Qin Huang that you were preparing to purchase mecha technology from our Da Qin. Originally, I disagreed with Qin Huang doing so, as mecha technology is Da Qin's secret and must not be divulged. However, Qin Huang saw your plight, so I didn't forcefully stop him."
Li Xiaotian spoke with a smile, his tone casual, as he sat down in a chair, appearing harmless.
Yet, even so, all eight envoys stood up, their expressions filled with tension. A person's reputation precedes them. Li Xiaotian had fought his way up from the war zones, acting decisively and ruthlessly. He might be smiling at you one moment, and the next, you might lose your life.
Therefore, these people could not help but be nervous, fearing that Li Xiaotian might get displeased and eliminate them.
