Chapter 370: Law of Causality

On the other side, Li Xiaojun had already entered the system space.

“System, what law is associated with the recently absorbed Creation Jade Plate fragment?” Li Xiaojun asked the system.

【System Notification: Host, the recently obtained Creation Jade Plate fragment is related to the Law of Causality.】

“Is that the only law?”

【System Notification: Yes, however, since the law of the Creation Jade Plate fragments has exceeded ten, the system has updated a small feature that allows the host to check on their own.】

Upon hearing the system’s words, Li Xiaojun quickly checked the newly added feature.

The new feature was quite simple; as long as Li Xiaojun permitted it, his children could comprehend the power of the laws in the system subspace.

Moreover, Li Xiaojun could control which laws his children could comprehend. If he didn’t want them to perceive certain laws, they wouldn’t be able to do so.

Seeing this feature, Li Xiaojun felt pleased.

However, when he saw the cost required for this feature, he fell silent.

It turned out that for his children to comprehend the power of the laws, it would consume Li Xiaojun’s system energy value.

Comprehending for about a year would require one trillion system energy value, equivalent to the value of one high-quality immortal essence stone.

If he opened this opportunity, when his injuries healed in thirty thousand years, each of his children would probably need to consume thirty thousand high-quality immortal essence stones.

If it were just for one child, it wouldn’t be too much, but for over five hundred thousand children each consuming that much, it would amount to one hundred fifty billion high-quality immortal essence stones, which would leave Li Xiaojun financially strained.

After thinking it through, Li Xiaojun decided to implement a paid model for comprehending the laws.

For example, if his children wished to comprehend the power of the laws for one year, they would need to pay two high-quality immortal essence stones.

This way, he would not only avoid losses but also earn a profit.

Although this arrangement would prevent many children from understanding the laws, those who needed to comprehend them would generally be the children who had already become immortals.

This setup would also motivate them to acquire more immortal essence stones.

“System, allow my children to comprehend the Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth,” Li Xiaojun commanded the system.

The Laws of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth were fundamental laws that nearly every Da Luo Golden Immortal must comprehend.

As for the laws of space, time, yin, yang, and the Law of Causality, Li Xiaojun chose not to make those accessible because their comprehension difficulty was too high.

“Oh, and system, grant Yan Qingling the qualification to comprehend the laws of space and yin-yang.”

Li Xiaojun decided to give his most talented child, Yan Qingling, a special privilege.

He planned to continue his slumber and wanted to see the level of Yan Qingling’s growth when he woke up in thirty thousand years.

As for his other children, he only opened the five elemental laws to them, mainly to prevent them from biting off more than they could chew.

“System, increase my understanding of the Law of Causality…”

Before falling asleep, Li Xiaojun decided to enhance his comprehension of the Law of Causality to appreciate its mysteries.

With Li Xiaojun’s focus, his comprehension of the Law of Causality soon exceeded ten percent.

Once he grasped the Law of Causality, he quickly noticed countless fine threads appearing on his primordial spirit.

Most of these threads were very thin, with only a few being slightly thicker, in addition to some even thicker ones, and the thickest ones.

Li Xiaojun’s divine sense perception caught a thread, and soon, he gained a new understanding in his mind.

For instance, when Li Xiaojun sensed the thickest thread, he intuitively understood that it represented the causality between him and the demon tribe Da Luo Golden Immortal.

The demon tribe Da Luo Golden Immortal ambushed him, which left him seriously injured. If it weren’t for the system, he would have died, so the causality with the demon tribe Da Luo Golden Immortal was the strongest.

In addition, when Li Xiaojun used his divine sense to perceive the finer threads, he realized they represented the causality with many people he knew.

Among them were the causal ties with his children.

Li Xiaojun discovered that the person with the deepest causality with him was, in fact, Liu Hongxia.

After reflecting on this, Li Xiaojun wasn’t surprised; he had the most interactions with Liu Hongxia among all his children.

Liu Hongxia had almost become his helper, doing whatever Li Xiaojun asked her to do.

Li Xiaojun also found the causality lines of his two former wives, Li Yuting and Li Yufei’s mother, as well as the mothers of Li Ziyao and Li Ziwei, Wang Qiuyu.

The causality lines with these two former wives were so fine that they were almost imperceptible, and these two lines felt faint, as if they could break at any moment.

“Could they be reincarnated?”

Li Xiaojun considered the possibility that both of his former wives had passed away; their physical bodies were gone, so the dead couldn’t have causality.

Yet now, he found these causality lines with his former wives, which could only mean one thing: they had reincarnated.

In a vague sense, Li Xiaojun felt that the reason he could perceive so many people’s causality lines so clearly was entirely due to the system.

Without the system, even a Da Luo Golden Immortal who specializes in the Law of Causality might struggle to sense the causality lines of reincarnated individuals.

“Is it true that the more laws of causality I master, the clearer I can feel the causality lines?” Li Xiaojun contemplated.

“System, continue to add points.”

Li Xiaojun decided to keep enhancing his abilities, aiming to raise his understanding of the Law of Causality to over thirty percent.

Soon, Li Xiaojun’s understanding of the Law of Causality indeed surpassed thirty percent.

At the same time, Li Xiaojun noticed that the causality lines connecting him with everyone had become much clearer in his perception.

Additionally, Li Xiaojun gained insight into a causality divine ability.

This ability allowed him to derive some information about those who shared a causality with him.

Furthermore, Li Xiaojun discovered he could use the human virtue value obtained from the system to either weaken his causality with others or strengthen the connection with them.

“System, let me continue sleeping,” Li Xiaojun instructed the system.

He wanted to experience the feeling of waking up thirty thousand years later.

As Li Xiaojun chose to continue his deep slumber,

in the barren prison, Ye Jian quickly used her escape technique to reach the surface after Li Xiaojun left.

At the same time, she was communicating with Liu Hongxia.

“Hongxia, one of the colorful fragments is gone,” Ye Jian said to Liu Hongxia.

“What? Gone? How can it be gone?” Liu Hongxia asked hastily.

“It was taken by our Dad.”

“You mean…”

“That’s right, our Dad, Li Xiaojun.”

Upon hearing Ye Jian’s words, Liu Hongxia immediately tried to contact her biological father, Li Xiaojun.

However, there was no response from him at all.

“Ye Jian, you’re lying to me…”
