Chapter 997 - 997 – Equations (1/2)

Silence returned to the ravaged craters that had been their battlefield.

Magma was spewing out of the ground, reaching the sky. The craters had reached a depth of several ten thousand kilometers, creating massive calderas.

Who knew, maybe in the future, this place would become another Law Comprehension Area for the Law of Magma.

”Can you feel it, Mortis?” Gravis asked with a smile.

Mortis wasn't certain what Gravis meant.

”What do you mean?” he asked.

”We know the Major Law of Emotions now, our first level seven Law,” Gravis answered.

Mortis' eyes lost their focus for a bit.

The Major Law of Emotions.

Hadn't this Law been their goal for an eternity?

Mortis thought about all the Emotions, and he felt like he was seeing through the veil of life.

When Mortis looked at Gravis, he didn't see Gravis but all the Emotional Laws that defined his personality.

However, there were still things missing.

Mortis couldn't completely see through Gravis for three reasons.

First of all, Gravis was made of Void Lightning. The Law of Emotions only explained how beings made of Energy worked. Since Gravis was made of Void Lightning, Mortis couldn't see through Gravis' emotions.

This was also the reason why Arc and the Black Magnate weren't able to see through Gravis.

Second, the two of them only knew the Major Law of Emotions, not the True Law of Emotions. There were still a lot of things missing.

Third, they were missing the Major Law of Perceived Reality. The level five Law of Perceived Reality wasn't nearly on the same level as the level seven Law of Emotions.

The Law of Emotions dictated the personality of complex lifeforms.

However, the Law of Perceived Reality dictated the finer personality of a sentient being.

One was only an animal, while the other was a human or beast.

In order to see through all facets of such a complex and intelligent lifeform like a human, one needed the Law of Sentience, which was the combination of the Law of Emotions and Law of Perceived Reality.

After some seconds, Mortis concentrated on some Cultivators a couple million kilometers away.

Right now, the Cultivators were hiding.

The explosions and shockwaves from their previous fight had frightened every living being for millions of kilometers around.

Mortis saw a Nascent Nourishing Cultivator, and Mortis couldn't look away for several seconds.

The level seven Law of Emotions and the level five Law of Perceived Reality were powerful enough to see through nearly every being below the Immortal Realm.

When Mortis saw the Cultivator, he didn't see the Cultivator.

It was like the Cultivator had become a walking… something.

What would be a fitting word?

Mechanism?

Equation?

Ruleset?

Algorithm?

Machine?

Formation Array?

None of these words quite fit.

However, one thing was clear.

Mortis saw what the Cultivator thought.

Mortis even saw what the Cultivator would do.

If the Cultivator didn't leave the area of Mortis' Spirit Sense, Mortis would even be able to calculate exactly what the Cultivator would do, even years down the line.

However, that required Mortis to also calculate what every living being, every Element, and every piece of dead matter would do. After all, living beings were not static. They reacted to their surroundings.

Yet, who was Mortis?
