Lord Shadow

What is the three treasures?

The Body, the Essence, and lastly the Spirit. It could also be referred to as soul. These are the three treasures

Azief referred to those who refine one of the three treasures as Three Steps Half Sovereigns.

Those who refined two out of the three, he would refer it as Two Step Half Sovereign.

And those who already refine two and a half of these three treasures would truly be called a Half Step Sovereign.

It means only one-half step to reach Sovereign. But this one-half step is the hardest step to reach.

If Raymond for example reaches this step, he would refine one of these three treasure first and after they already finished refining all of these three treasures, he would then unify all of these three into himself.

Internalize it, metabolizes it deep into his body and finally reaching the Sovereign realm

This is how it goes.

Each treasure refined bring it closer.

But each one come with its different method.

Different laws and different rules mastered means there are different ways for the treasures to eb refined.

For example, someone who focuses on one law might be weak in the early periods but it also create a max mastery when they reached the end.

And there are beings that follow such path.

Instead of being jack of all trades, they focused only on one law.

One might think that only mastering one law leads to a hard time reaching the Sovereign realm.

But no, it is the opposite.

Sometimes, Azief think about the system requirement and could not help but think that maybe the system is trapping everyone in it.

After all, the more laws you possess and the more laws you mastered, the harder it is to breakthrough.

But not many people knows this and it makes sense why people not know this and it is not beneficial for them to know this.

After all, the Sovereign realm is far away from them and some of them would never reach it even if they try their hardest.

To reach Sovereign realm, sometimes hard work doesn’t cut it.

Yes, it is optimal.

After all, if you master for example laws of fire and ice at the same time and add the law of the elements, or a lower-level law like the law of the wind, then each of these laws could aid each other.

But when you wanted to breakthrough, the more you have, the harder the tribulations.

And what is harder than to breakthrough to become a Sovereign?

Those with only one law actually have an advantage. For example, if one practise only one law and this law is the law of fire, then when it reached the Sovereign realm watershed, their tribulations might be easier.

They might have to burn their Essence, purify their spirit and soul with fire and refine their bodies with heavenly fire and they would break through.

But the more you have, the ore various the methods that one would encountered when being attacked by the tribulations.

Instead, those with only one law could rush through being a Sovereign and their difficulties is even lowered.

And it is not like those who reached Sovereign with one rule is inferior. Wargod had explained this to him.

In the vastness of the Omniverse, there is a Fiendgod who rose to Sovereign realm with only one law.

The law of fire.

It is not even a higher rule or law. The hierarchy of laws is there. For example, the Law of Fire, the Law of Ice are the subcategory of the Law of Elements

And the Law of Elements is the subcategory of the Law of Nature, or the Law of Creation. Of course, the highest of all of this laws are the Law of Creation and Law of Destruction

At least to the best of his knowledge, this is the ultimate law

But that Fiendgod become a Sovereign relying only on one law.

But is he weak?

No.

Wargod told how that Fiendgod break into Interium and fights his fighters. Even he have difficulties in reining in that Fiendgod.

Wargod did not go into detail but Azief could tell that Wargod is somewhat impressed with that Fiendgod.

That Fiendgod is blue in colour, have six arms and he is a titanic creature. His normal size is the size of Jupiter.

When he sneezes, he incinerated planets and stars to cosmic dust because of his fiery nature.

Two of his upper arms holds axes, his left and right arm hold a mace and a shield and his two lower arms holds a spear and a sword.

His eyes could burn you just by looking at it.

Wargod said that the eyes of this Fiendgod has the temperature of a Sun. In one point of time, this Fiendgod had even left his eye floating in space near a dead zone in space and in a manner of trillions of years, that dead zone was revitalized and that eye become the Sun of the planet around it.

When that planet become extinct because of its own inhabitants, that Fiendgod returns and retrieve back his eyes

As for other laws, this Fiendgod might not be that well averse.

But when your reached Sovereign realm, his not well averse las is enough to crush every opposition.

And even among Sovereign, he is not someone that could be easily beaten.

The fact that he only masters one laws also made him invincible when fighting him with that laws. When he fights other Sovereigns, the heat he emanated would be enough to distorts all the spaces around and such heat radiated and burns all the planets even in a mega cluster of Universes.

Imagine how much of that power unleashed.

Even ten trillions kilotons of nuclear weapon power would not reached that realm of impact and power

His fire could burns any laws to cinder.

And there is no chain in this world, magical or not that he could not melt.

This is how powerful he is.

Hence, as long as one could persevere and break through to Sovereign with one law, it does not mean they are inferior

Even Sovereigns would not think that.

But using the system, pursuing the most optimal path as ordered by the system probably would make it harder for anyone to break through to Sovereign realm

For most, this is like you yourself upped the difficulty level to hellish. But most people doesn’t know.

"But just relying on one law to reach Sovereign itself is not an easy path"

It is almost impossible in Earth.

This is because unless you have a place to hide or did not have many enemies, at least until you reached Disk Formation, then maybe it would not be so insurmountable challenge.

But on Earth where everyone could level up quickly and master many laws, if you are the only one trying to master one law until the end, then you are sacrificing many lethal powers and abilities you could gain.

Which also means you are giving up on survival. In the early years of the Fall, most part of the world lost all orders.

And while some managed to quickly rebuild civilizations, others are too chaotic to even attempt building a civilization

Add to that the population could become almost like a god with their newfound powers, then one could only expect chaos.

And when faced with this choice between future prospect and survival, the right choice is always survival.

Prospect is the expectation of a future. But if you do not survive the present, then you are not worthy to think about prospect.

The other choice is when one reached near the Sovereign realm, abolished all laws and focus on one laws.

But this is not the same as cultivating one law from the beginning.

It means nurturing only one plant in a garden.

And all of the benefits that could go to other trees and plant is monopolized by only that one tree. This makes it a tree that is sturdier than others and healthier than others. The method of abolishing all laws and rules is like plucking all of the other trees and leaving one tree.

That tree is just the same like the other trees that are being plucked and the essence of the other trees that has been cultivated did not disappears.

This is the difficulties of this matter.

"But my path is different" Azief was thinking about this when suddenly a bomb landed on the place where Azief is walking.

"shit!" Azief could not help but curse

BOOM!

WHOOSH!

The bomb incinerates everything on its path.

And Azief is on point zero.

The bomb landed only one feet away from him.

Azief in that moment before it exploded look up and his sight extend beyond the clouds and look at the Battlestar stationed above the stratosphere above the Pandemonium city, dropping bombs after bombs.

Yes, in the sky, even above the clouds, there is fighting.

Plasma sabres, energy swords and spears glints and shines brightly amidst the explosion.

Those energy swords technology is said to be derived by the light sabre technology in the Star Wars movies.

The battle stars up there, the Gunstar, the stealth ships and the attacking ships are all bombarding Pandemonium from the skies.

And it is bombing it without stopping

If one look at it, it is like rain.

Only it rains high intensity bombing
