Gathering his mental facilities, Yan Zaizen meditated silently amidst the silence of chaotic space. Floating in a cross-legged position, he calmed his breathing and allowed his mind to roam freely in thought.

The basis of comprehending a law had to do with two things, connections and concept. Firstly, connecting to the heavens, no matter how loosely. As a Non-Entity, his mind was untainted and unrestricted by heavenly limitations or weight, so this was as easy as a thought.

It was this degree, this phenomenal degree of connectivity that his understanding of the heavens were the highest and, despite his unwillingness, he would often undergo enlightenment.

Secondly, concept. This was vital and many fail in comprehending laws because of this. The concept must be inline with the predefined conceptual limitations of a law. This was heavenly limitation as well, with the Non Universe not being subjected to this.

Every concept Yan Zaizen had ever devised under heavenly law was previously mapped out and created. With his connection to the heavens, his mind being unrestrained by arbitrary limitations, he could easily gleam upon a pre-established path.

However, there are paths, ultimate paths, that include a multitude of concepts into a singular whole. The Imperial Law of Spacetime and Rebirth were excellent examples of this. They incorporated quite a lot of concepts, merged as a perfect whole. However, even these laws had concepts divided.

”Realm of Chaotic Space.” Yan Zaizen recalled his experience in connecting and comprehending this imperial conceptual law. He had merged the essence of Space - Spatial Form of Infinite Stability - and Time - Temporal Wind of Eternal Change - to produce it.

Now, he had to do the same for the Law of Samsara.

”Huuuu! Haaaa…” He inhaled deeply and exhaled softly, his hands held in front of his chest.

”Unyielding Flame of Life embodies life's everlasting persistence and tenacity, burning all to strive for all. In the face of death, at its near end, it's will ignites all death!” As he pondered the profundity of the Unyielding Flame of Life, he recalled his first encounter with this law.

It was his first law he had ever comprehended. It was in Han Genji's mountain base that had hundreds of doors. At the time, he was lost, confused, and helpless about the events beforehand.

It was also laughable in hindsight.

He couldn't remove any materials from the Meteor Ring, leaving him vexed and wishing to cry, but with no one to cry to. At the time, he saw an inky, black piece of wood and atop this wood was a small, pale white flame.

It was the regalia of Life and Death, the odd two Regalia into one, but in a state of perfect balance. Two extremes existing together in a similar way as Yin and Yang.

He couldn't help but feel nostalgia. The time at Han Genji's place had been a defining moment in his life. It was here that he comprehended his first law, started his path as a Herculean, and the start of his journey home.

”Life is truly full of mysteries,” Musing slightly, he redirected his thoughts towards the laws. A bright, white flame emerged between his palms. It lingered there quietly, existing peacefully with all things.

”Siphoning Shadow of Death embodies death's everlasting persistence and tenacity, much akin to life, absorbing all into its embrace, strengthening itself so that it can assimilate all. It has no end, has no beginning, but it's will is unrelenting in its pursuit and ambition!' Yan Zaizen felt the profoundness of death and how it was quite similar to life, but wholefully different.

It was like the difference between selfless and selfish, protective and destructive, serene and chaotic, satisfied and ambitious! While one acts as a guardian, the other acts as a monster.

”Yet...why do I feel that...the roles can be perfectly swapped and still remain consistent?” If life can be considered serene, it can also be considered chaotic, as it is never known for its consistency. If death can be considered a chaotic, then it can also be considered serene, as it death is death, and you can never be more dead than dead.

If life can be considered selfless, then wouldn't always wanting to exist regardless of what it consumes be selfish?
