《Consuming Earths, Devouring Skies 》Chapter 339: Devouring Heaven (7)
Advertisement
The gloomy skies were no longer monotone with a lack of light. Now, various colors painted the sky in awe-inspiring glory. It was incredible.
The storm of white seemed to sing the tales of all life in all and every form. The storm of black was pure and absolute; something all things must experience if they wished to exist beneath its rule. The storm of purple brightened the skies with an essence of the destruction of all things in creation.
Its splendor would cause all things gazing at it to widen their eyes at its beauty, and that's what it did. Everyone couldn't draw their eyes away from this phenomenon.
While everyone was engrossed thoroughly with the sights, Yan Zaizen's expression was somewhat ugly. The reason for that was due to the reaction from the heavens. He wanted more.
He needed more!
Yan Zaizen further entered a state of comprehension. This time he was going to draw from his insights into the sovereign realm and attempt to do something daring.
"Life, Death, Space, Time, and Destruction." He listed all his insights as the inside of his eyes flowed wildly about with strange symbols. These symbols were the state of truth, a profound language commonly deciphered at the heavenly language. It encompassed the entirety of the heavens.
Theoretically, comprehending these allows one to communicate with the heavens and control or harness its powers. Heavenly Cultivators devise concepts, imbue them with their respective heavenly force and press ahead by developing their concepts heavenly connection strengthen.
Nascent, Force, Manifestation, Domain, and Sovereign!
To put it simply, heavenly cultivation is to steal until it can rival! Then, to exceed it and establish their own heaven. Essentially, to steal until you can copy!
Yan Zaizen understood that the laws of the heaven were all interconnected in some way shape or form. The most notable method was to comprehend that core language. It was the purest form but also the most complicated way. Many rely on feeling, instinct, or understanding in much the same way humanity delves into science.
All of these methods were proper in much the same way teaching could be auditory or visual, accomplishing the same end goal.
Yan Zaizen's entire comprehension since he embarked on cultivation flashed like lightning through his pupils. The myriad of colors was breathtaking to behold. It was as if the entirety of the world was within his very gaze. In some way, it was.
"Space!" The colors in his pupils converted into silver. The symbols started to all change, but they were still as numerous before. Rippling waves surged back and forth, and Yan Zaizen became an epicenter to the disturbance of the pond that was the world.

To reach the law realm at the Sovereign-level, one must not only understand the heavens but reach a level to contest them for control. The initial-stage of the Sovereign-level required one to breach that gate. When it was breached, the heavens would divert a portion of power from that specific law to deal with this new intruder.
Yan Zaizen was now finding that critical piece of insight that was that gate. Only by withstanding the retaliation of the heavens can one truly start building their own house in the garden that was the heaven.
"Time!" The silver colors faded becoming a less resplendent grey. The symbols of time flashed rapidly, and Yan Zaizen seemed to become the center of time.
The grey-robed woman was drawn by this aura, her eyes shining beneath her hood in surprise. "He's this proficient in time laws?" While she was intrigued, Yan Zaizen didn't. In fact, he pushed his mind to the absolute limit. A limit he's never reached before!
A Non-Entity was a product of the Non-Universe, many would proclaim that it was a fate child or chosen of the Non-Universe. They wouldn't be wrong. A Non-Entity is blessed by the power of the universe. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to that, in terms of talent, a Non-Entity was undisputed as the number one.
Now, the multiverse has many different types of these existences; they are called Source-Entities.
However, the Non-Entity held a unique ability beyond other Source-Entities. They possessed an absolute pure mind!
Oftentimes, experts would refer to this trait as a mind untainted by mortal dust. This was Pinaka's understanding as well, but there was so much to it than just that.
However, this one trait is what all Heavenly cultivators strive to have! A mind untainted would be like a clean, fresh pipe with no obstructions and the water going down with the aid of gravity. A mind tainted would be the exact opposite! A pipe clogged by all sorts of things with water needing to be pushed upwards by a tool of some kind.
The difference could be explained simply, but the effect was beyond any simple explanation! Especially if that water was one's understanding of any and all things!
"Soul!" Yan Zaizen roared mentally, a flicker of cyan entering his eyes. By this point, the colors within his eyes flashed so rapidly that it would cause anyone to feel lost in his gaze!
"Yin, Yang, Fire, Water, Gravity, Darkness, Light…" In a blink of an eye, the world was drowned in the sound of thunder from the storms and the aura of a myriad of laws!

Yan Zaizen's understanding started to grow at a terrifying rate! Before long, every world law beneath the heavens had reached the Sovereign's gate! The numbers were too numerous to count!
"Sword, Axe, Lance, Sound, Blood, Bone, Flesh…" The Mortal Laws weren't too far behind. The tribulation for the Mortal Laws was far less intense than the World Laws, but so numerous that it exceeded the World Laws by a thousand!
Yan Zaizen had only been alive for several thousand years, but in just that short of time, his understanding of the laws was constantly born with every breath or sight. This was another key ability of a Non-Entity! Sudden Inspiration!
"Hahahahahahaha!" Yan Zaizen saw the heavens gather all its power laws in the sky as a myriad of lights and auras flashed about with vicious killing intent and madly laughed. If facing just one trial could pressure another person to absolute fear, then the pressure from all this was unimaginable! And all this pressure focused itself on him!
The reaction of others would be described, but there was none. All words were drowned by the endless rumbles in the sky, all hearts could barely conjure a single emotion outside of awe, and their minds had long since grown numb. There were no thoughts to be had any longer for any and everyone!
Including Park Ji-Hu, Venerable Ghost Blade, the grey-robed woman, and Yi Seo-Jun!
They were literally rendered speechless!
Yan Zaizen was the only one that fearlessly faced the storm with his mind clearer than ever before. The top of his skin started flowing with bright amber-gold light as he faced the heavens. The light began to spew from his ears, mouth, eye holes, and nose. His Dao was overflowing!
"Not! Enough!" Yan Zaizen stepped forward. He pushed higher into the sky and watched the heavens power flow about. As he did, it was as if the cheat sheet of the heavens laws were laid before him. This was what he wanted!
At the moment, he was in a state of constant inspiration! Every millisecond that passed, his understanding of these laws rose to never-before-seen height! His laws skyrocketed like missiles, and although only a few minutes had passed in reality, it was as if tens of thousands of years of comprehension flashed into his mind.
Even the Laws that he hadn't truly grasped were gained, developed and bounced off others, various concepts birthed and developed in an instant! It was miraculous.
The most difficult laws to proceed in was the Imperial Laws, these laws were difficult to reach, let alone touch the Sovereign Gate, yet Yan Zaizen felt his mind spiral about as his eyes flashed about. Unfortunately, his understanding simply could not truly reach the Sovereign level in this state, but he felt an immense urging to call forth it despite such!
It was a blip in his soul crying for him to challenge everything!
"IMPERIAL LAWS! Spacetime, Rebirth, Samsara!" His roar seemed to invoke heavens fury! Because…all the storms that filled the millions of miles of distance simply stop all sound!
The silence was abrupt and eerie. It was as if the Mortal Laws and World Laws do not dare to utter a single sound before the arrival of the Imperial Laws!
However, storms did not appear. Instead, three figures emerged. These figures were billions of meters in size and appeared in the blink of a literal eye! It was as if the sun had just teleported right in front of you in a single freaking moment!
Yan Zaizen's eyes widened! These figures were humanoid. They covered all the heavens and the other law storms, despite being massive, couldn't match a tenth of one of their size. These manifestations were not to Sovereign's Gate but the individual representation of these laws beneath the heaven.
This truly startled Yan Zaizen as he didn't expect to see manifested creatures representing the heavenly laws. This caused his understanding of the heavens to shift slightly, admitting he knew very little of why the Imperial Laws were called Imperial Laws!
The first one was bald with silver-grey eyes and golden skin. It had six eyes, three pairs, one at its forehead, one where its eyes should be, and one where its mouth should be! It had no nose or mouth to speak of. Those six eyes seemed to contain the six aspects of space and time, chaotic, endless, stable, past, present, and time in various arrangements. It seemed to be connected to Spacetime Trial.
All six of those eyes stared at Yan Zaizen with a murderous, insidiously cold killing intent that even caused his heart to tremble slightly.
The other had golden skin too, but a single, black and white eye! This eye covered its entire face. This eye was millions of meters in size! And...it constantly rotated like a spiral. It was dizzying…
This one belonged to Rebirth and a never-ending cycle.
The third also had an odd appearance. However, when Yan Zaizen saw this...he...gaped!
His jaws dropped heavily!
Then, an incredible amount of killing intent exploded from his body as he roared like an absolute monster.
"YOU!!!"

Godfather Of Champions
This is a story about the pursuit of victory.— «I subscribe only to the theory of victory. I only pursue victory. As long as I am able to obtain victory, I don’t care if it’s total football or counterattack. What is the ultimate goal of professional soccer? In my opinion, it is victory, and the pinnacle of victory is to become the champions. I am a manager. If I don’t wish to lose my job or be forgotten by the people, there’s only one path for me to take, and that is to lead the team in obtaining victories, in obtaining championship titles!»The main character was not well-liked by people.— «⋯We conducted a survey which had been deemed by Manager Tony Twain as extremely meaningless. In a random street survey conducted, ninety-three percent of those surveyed chose the option ‘I hate Tony Twain’, while only seven percent chose the option ‘This person is rather decent, I like him’. It is worth noting that nobody chose the option ‘Who is Tony Twain? I don’t know him’. Mark, do you know why Manager Twain felt that our survey was very meaningless?» Parker, a reporter from laughed loudly and said when he was being interviewed by BBC.But there were also people who were madly in love with him.— When Tony Twain was forced to talk about the survey conducted by during an interview, his reply was : «I am happy, because Nottingham Forest’s fans make up seven percent of England’s population.»And he did not seem to care about how the others saw him.— «What are you all trying to make me say? Admit that I am not popular, and everywhere I go will be filled with jeers and middle fingers. You all think I will be afraid? Wrong! Because I am able to bring victory to my team and its supporters. I don’t care how many people hate me and can’t wait to kill me, and I also won’t change myself to accommodate the mood of these losers. You want to improve your mood? Very simple, come and defeat me.»His love story had garnered widespread attention.— «Our reporters took these pictures at Manager Tony Twain’s doorsteps. It clearly shows that Shania entered his house at 8.34pm and she did not leave the house throughout the night at all. But Manager Tony Twain firmly denies, and insists that that was merely the newest-model inflatable doll which he had ordered.He was the number one star of the team.— «⋯ Became the spokesperson of world-wide famous clothing brands, shot advertisements, frequented the fashion industry’s award ceremonies, endorsed electronic games, has a supermodel girlfriend. His earnings from advertisements exceed his club salary by seventeen times, owns a special column in various print medias, publishing his autobiography (in progress), and is even said that he is planning to shoot an inspirational film based off his own person experiences! Who can tell me which part of his life experiences is worthy of being called ‘inspirational’? Hold on⋯. Are you all thinking that I’m referring to David Beckham? You’re sorely mistaken! I’m talking about Manager Tony Twain⋯.»He was very knowledgeable about Chinese soccer.— «⋯ I’ve heard about it, that Bora gifted four books to his manager Mr. Zhu before your country’s national team’s warm up match. After which, the team lost 1:3 to a nameless American team from Major League Soccer. The new excuse that Mr. Zhu gave for losing the match, was that Bora gifted «books» (‘books’ and ‘lose’ are homophones in the Chinese language). Here, I recommend that you guys find out what that one specific book is. Which book? Of course the one that caused you all to score a goal. After that, tell me the title of the book. Before every match, I will gift ten copies of that same book to you. In that case, won’t you all be able to get a triumphant 10:0 win over your opponents every time?» An excerpt taken from Tony Twain’s special column in a certain famous Chinese sports newspaper.He was loved and hated by the press.— «He has a special column in at least four renowned print media, and he is able to get a considerable amount of remuneration just by scolding people or writing a few hundred words of nonsense weekly. While we have to contemplate hard about our drafts for three days before our boss is pleased with it. In an article inside his special column, he scolded and called all of the media ‘son of a bitch’, announcing that he hated the media the most. But every time he publishes an article, we flock towards him like flies which had spotted butter. Why? Because the readers like to read his news and see him scold people. I dare to bet with you, and Manager Tony Twain knows clearly in his heart as well, that even though he says that he hates us, he knows that the present him cannot do without us. Similarly, we also cannot do without him. Is this ultimately considered a good or a bad thing?» Bruce Pearce, a reporter from said with a face of helplessness when talking about Tony Twain.But no matter the case, his players were his most loyal believers.— Gareth Bale, «No no, we never had any pressure when playing on our home grounds. Because the pressure is all on the manager. As long as we see him standing by the side of the field, all of us will feel that we will be able to win that match. Even the football hooligans are like meek lambs in front of him!» (After saying this, he began to laugh out loudly)The reply from George Wood, the team captain of Nottingham Forest, was the most straightforward. «We follow him because he can bring us victory.»The legendary experience of Tony Twain, the richest, most successful, most controversial manager with the most unique personality!Debuting this summer.Thank you for reading.

Those who dislike subject material surrounding loss, depression, grief, should probably not read. With that said, the story evolves into a supernatural thriller past the initial chapters. It’s a comparably low fantasy for a website like this but hope some of you still enjoy it.

Musings of a Hypocrite
Mortals are weird. They insisted in unity, as well as individualism. More often than not, they're shocked at truth and honesty, but not at falsehood and deceit. They asked questions with multiple answers, and provided answers that begged other questions. They made things to break, they destroyed things to study, they researched things to recreate. Humans, Elves, Beastmen. All of them. Within these contradictions, a miracle might manifest. But this tended to work with a trial and error methodology. Most mortals never got the happy ending. This diary is my journey alongside a few students of mine. In simple terms - they learn, they grow, they fight. They'll journey through centuries of conflict, from the physical to the educational. They'll experience the cruelty and benelovence of all living-kind. They'll experience the consequences of their choices and the blessings of their rewards. They will grow to become useful to me, or die trying like all the others. As for you? The god reading our lives like a book, sitting in your chair without a care in the world? I will show you, the farce that is known as 'God'.
