Chapter 163, The Limits of Understanding the Fundamental Laws of Time and Space
"Humans... actually occupy more than one-tenth of the spots on the Glory Ranking."
"King of the Blade River, ranked ten thousandth."
"Not a single member of my race made the list."
Similar awe-inspiring events are unfolding simultaneously on countless life-bearing planets.
Jiang Ming, who was in Chaos City, immediately noticed the skyrocketing Legendary status. The notifications poured down in front of him like a waterfall, so fast that he couldn't even make out the specific race names.
Those were races he had never heard of before, small groups scattered in every corner of the primordial universe.
"Just a name, a name ranked in the top 10,000, can achieve this level."
Jiang Ming thought to himself.
The speed at which the Legendary status is rising is even more exaggerated than when Jiang Ming cleared the Trial Tower and won first place in the Peak Genius Battle.
But upon closer examination, it's not hard to understand.
Although the human race is strong and has a vast territory, it is ultimately just one race.
Although the influence of the Peak Genius Battle covered 1008 human universe nations through the virtual universe, it was ultimately limited to the territory of the human race.
Hongmeng is a cosmic alliance led by the human race and composed of billions of races.
Of course, there are actually not many races that can be considered official members of the Hongmeng.
Only those races of the middle and upper classes that have a Cosmic Venerable presiding over them, or that have ever produced a Cosmic Venerable, are qualified to be noticed by the human race and invited to join the Hong Alliance.
Such a race is rare even in the entire primordial universe.
There are only tens of thousands of such mid-to-high-level races within the Hong Alliance.
However, each of the middle and upper races has a large number of vassal races under its command. Some races have a dozen or so vassal races, some have dozens, and some powerful middle and upper races even have hundreds of vassal races under their command.
Tens of thousands of middle and upper races, along with their layers upon layers of vassal relationships, ultimately formed the Hongmeng's structure of hundreds of millions of races.
These vassal races were weak, with the strongest often only reaching the rank of king, or even lower.
Their level of civilization is insignificant compared to that of powerful races.
But weak beings have always been the mainstream of this universe. Ninety-nine percent of the races in the entire universe are weak, and ninety-nine point ninety-nine percent of the beings are also weak.
Even the weakest race can provide Jiang Ming with Legendary Points.
"Just being ranked 10,000th has caused my legendary status to skyrocket to this extent. What if I were ranked higher? What if I were in the top 1,000, top 100, or even top 10?"
"What if I become number one on the honor leaderboard?"
Thinking of this, Jiang Ming's interest in ranking increased even more.
Consciousness was fully invested in the virtual universe, and the matching process continued.
When facing a battle against a King-level expert, Jiang Ming must concentrate all his attention; if his reaction is even slightly slow, defeat is the only outcome.
However, ranking 10,000 is far from Jiang Ming's limit.
Most of the top fighters in this ranking are no match for Jiang Ming.
Although he occasionally encountered super strong opponents before he could even charge in, Jiang Ming's battles went smoothly most of the time.
The rankings continue to climb.
Nine thousand.
Eight thousand.
Seven thousand.
Six thousand.
Five thousand.
four thousand.
Three thousand.
two thousand.
one thousand.
When Jiang Ming's ranking broke through the thousand mark, his name stood out from the ten thousand strings of golden characters on the honor list and entered a more prominent area.
Ultimately, Jiang Ming's ranking remained at 327th.
It wasn't that Jiang Ming didn't want to continue, but at this ranking, most of the opponents he faced were stronger than him.
I tried to match a few times, and my record was four wins and seven losses, with a win rate of less than 50%.
"This ranking is my current limit."
Although Jiang Ming did not use any of his signature techniques, such as the "Forbidden Three Styles" or the "Eight-Colored Law World," even if he held nothing back, he still wouldn't advance more than a few places.
Even those at the peak of their King-level strength are not strong enough to enter the top 300. Each of the top 300 experts possesses methods approaching the invincible level of a King.
Breaking the limits of being a king means approaching the invincible realm of being a king.
However, being close to being invincible as a king is still a big difference from being truly invincible as a king.
If we were to quantify it with a standard, exceeding the King-level limit by 1 point would be close to becoming invincible, and exceeding the King-level limit by 1000 points would still be close to becoming invincible.
Only when one's score exceeds the King-level limit by 10000 points can one be considered truly invincible at the King-level.
Jiang Ming's current strength is indeed lacking.
"This harvest should be enough for me to push the laws of spacetime to their limit."
97
A hint of anticipation flashed in Jiang Ming's eyes.
His understanding of the fundamental laws of space and time is currently stuck at just over 70%. This level of comprehension is already top-tier among King-level experts, belonging to the peak level of King-level understanding.
However, compared to the old monsters in Hongmeng City, this level is far from enough.
The massive amount of cards disintegrated like melting ice and snow, turning into countless pale blue particles of light, which converged into a boundless ocean of source energy dust.
The ocean was so vast that even Jiang Ming's consciousness could not see its end at a glance.
"More than 90 trillion units."
With a thought, Jiang Ming calculated the amount of source energy crystal dust.
The upgrade cost for an Immortal-level card is 500 billion.
The cost to upgrade a Venerable-level card is 50 quadrillion.
"I should be able to enhance two Venerable-level cards, but I should first complete the fundamental laws of time and space before thinking about enhancing the Venerable-level cards."
Jiang Ming thought to himself.
"With so much source energy dust, I can push my understanding of all the laws to ninety-nine percent."
The Immortal-level Time and Space True Solution Cards cannot be used for the final breakthrough, but Jiang Ming estimates that he will enhance the True Solution Cards to...
At the Venerable level, one should be able to break this limitation.
Jiang Ming stopped thinking about it and sat cross-legged.
Use the first card, the True Solution Card of the Fundamental Laws of Space, directly.
Time flies by during cultivation.
Although the improvement brought by each True Solution Card decreases as one's understanding deepens.
However, as long as it is effective and its effect is not zero, Jiang Ming's improvement speed will not slow down.
When Jiang Ming had exhausted all the Immortal-level Space Origin Law True Understanding Cards in his hand, his comprehension of the Space Origin Law had reached an astonishing 99%.
We are just one step away from the true limit.
Without pause, consciousness turned to the True Solution Card of the Fundamental Law of Time.
As the effect of the last Immortal-level Time Origin Law True Solution Card dissipated, Jiang Ming slowly opened his eyes, his aura of the Time and Space Law so dense that it was suffocating.
"Ninety-nine in both categories. By the time I leave Chaos City, I might possess the combat strength of a Venerable, or even greater strength."
O
Jiang Ming thought to himself.
Jiang Ming had never thought of it this way. He never dreamed that in just 30 years in Chaos City, he could possess the combat power of a Venerable, or even a Hegemon.
But given the current situation, it seems...
It's not impossible.
