Female Novel
Chapter 716
Gravis went to the Smart Cultivator again and got the last Virtualization Array, which was for Core. This was the level three Lawequivalent to metal. It was related to Graphite, Inferno, and had Deep Wood as its antithesis. The Matter Composition Lawswould also help somewhat, but not that much. Matter in the higher worlds was completely different from matter in the middleworlds.
"This one might take you a while," the clerk said. "Understanding Core means understanding around 50% of the Higher HardPure Matter Law, which is a High Tier Law. Because of these reasons, understanding Core takes several times longer thanunderstanding all the other ones."
Gravis looked at the Virtualization Array. "How much longer?" he asked.
"Take the one that took you the longest to comprehend and triple the time. This is about the general time someone needs whenthey have already understood all the other Elemental Laws," the clerk said.
"Three times, huh?" Gravis commented. He didn't feel like it would take him that long. After all, he only needed 45 years forShadow. Three times his longest comprehension would be over 500 years. Was the difference really that great?
"Can | directly rent it for 500 years?" Gravis asked. Of course, this decision was risky. If Gravis were to understand it in just 100years, he would still have paid 500 years. Yet, being able to completely concentrate on the Law without having to abort in themiddle would be far easier.
Gravis was pretty sure that he wouldn't take that long, but he remembered his thoughts when he challenged the middle Heaven.He had thought that he would be able to win against the middle Heaven, but he had been mistaken. Maybe the same thing washappening again, and he was severely underestimating the difficulty.
For once, Gravis decided to trust the opinion of someone else when it concerned his own power. Because of that, Gravis directlyrented it for 500 years. The evaluation of the clerk had been over 500 years, but Gravis only rented it for 500. Trustingsomeone's experienced opinion was one thing, but fully trusting it was something else.
The clerk modified the Virtualization Array again, unloading several God Stones into it to increase its storage. ‘No wonder theseVirtualization Arrays are so expensive. Just level three Virtualization Arrays already need God Stones."
“Here you go," the clerk said as he gave Gravis the Virtualization Array. Gravis paid the 50 million Immortal Stones, feeling like achunk had been taken out of his body. This was so much money!
Gravis nodded and teleported away. Then, he informed Yersi about his prolonged cultivation. 500 years was a lot of time, evenfor Gravis.
Yersi said goodbye to Gravis, but it wasn't that bad. She could still see him in his room if she wanted. His room wasn't isolated oranything, so if she missed him, she could just look at him.
Gravis also informed Orpheus, who only wished him success. 500 years was not long for Orpheus.
Gravis didn't need to inform anyone else since the remaining people he knew would know how long it would take to understandCore.
Then, Gravis entered his room and put the Virtualization Array into the socket.CRRRR!
Nearly the entire room was filled with different kinds of metal. On top of that, Gravis could see a particular form of Energyentering and exiting the different metals. This was probably the essence of Core, which demonstrated the elemental componentof metal.
In comparison to all the other times, Gravis wasn't attacked by anything. He could just walk around and look at the differentmaterials.
As Gravis stood upon the mountain of ore, he couldn't help remembering the time he started his Law Comprehension journey inhis Realm Stop. Azure had introduced Ferris to him to keep watch over him. This mountain of ore reminded Gravis of the time hetried to comprehend all the different Pure and Complex Matter Laws.
Gravis still remembered how he had needed over 30 years to understand a Law. Back then, it felt like forever to him, but now,that would have been an incredibly short time frame.
Gravis picked up one of the ores and looked at it. "I still remember how | thought how horrible it must feel to not comprehend asingle Law in hundreds of years. Yet, now, | can count myself lucky when I need less than a hundred years. This one is going totake several hundred years."
Gravis looked around and released a sigh as he thought about his past evaluations. "500 years is long, but it seems appropriate.This is one of the most difficult level three Laws to comprehend, and it will also push my understanding of Higher Hard PureMatter to 50%. 500 years for a level three Law and 50% of a level four Law seems just right, actually."
"Sadly, it still feels different," Gravis said to himself with melancholy. "Back then, | didn't know what would help me inunderstanding what. Now, | know exactly what | will learn. The wonder of discovery and surprise is gone. Finding out all therelated Laws and which Laws | needed to understand them felt exciting. Now, everything just makes sense, and | know exactlywhat | need."
"Well, | guess that's normal. | simply got better at understanding Laws, taking a lot of magic out of the process. The BlackMagnate might have been wrong regarding happiness, but when he spoke about the feeling of having supreme power, he knewexactly what he was talking about. The magic of the Laws is gone, and only a normal interest remains. In the future, this feelingmight even be replaced by boredom or annoyance."
Gravis sighed again. "It's only a slight inconvenience. My happiness is not defined by understanding more Laws and becomingmore powerful. Now, this has simply become my hobby and goal. One could also call it work. Many people despise work, butwhen they don't work for a long time, they become unhappy since they don't have a goal anymore. Work is bothersome for themoment, but it also gives one a goal.”
"Success and happiness are two different things, after all," Gravis said to himself.Then, he started concentrating on the different metals.
He tried using them to forge weapons but received one surprise after the other. He wasn't able to push them together to create ahardened edge, for example. The matter rejected itself as soon as the pressure increased. When Gravis used even morepressure, the weapon would just shatter like glass.
Gravis didn't even try to fuse the materials with other materials. The Higher Complex Laws would be level five Laws and wouldbe far more challenging to learn than the Pure ones.novelbin
Gravis ignored the stream of Core Energy for now and concentrated on the different materials. The more he experimented withthem, the more he got reminded of the time he tried to learn the Complex Material Laws.
For some time, Gravis felt like he had returned to the past. He was simply walking around, looking at one stone after the other,trying everything he could to learn more about it.
"This is actually far more interestingthan | had thought," Gravis said withalight smile. "There is somethiabout comprenensikg diferentmaterials one at a time that otherLaws don't have. Just looking atsomething is different frommanipulating and changing it. One isunderstanding, while this feels morelike playing." The content is onNovelDrama.Org! Read the latestchapter there!
Gravis paused for a second andlooked around the room. He couldenvision the stream of water, thforest, and the desert Crrdundingthe RoltSin, He could also envisionFerris looking at some butterflies,randomly comprehending Laws.Gravis had to laugh when heremembered how Ferris annoyed himback then.

It was like he had returned to the past.“Would | want to go back to that time?" Gravis asked himself.Gravis thought about this question for several seconds.
"Maybe a little bit, but not forever. |have my father, mom, Yersi, andOrpheus here. Back then, | had mythree kids, but |equkidméet them
ver wanted. Additionally, ourbond hadn't been as close as it isnow. | would enjoy feeling the magicof comprehending my first Lawsagain, but | would also miss myfamily and friends," Gravis said. Thecontent is on NovelDrama.Org! Readthe latest chapter there!
“Right now, if there weren't the issue with my lightning, | would be as happy as never before."Gravis looked around with a smile.
"| think I'm actually rather content with my life currently."
