The laws of Heaven and Earth were as innate as they were to Li Yi.
After being categorized and merged, the number of laws he mastered jumped from seventy-two to ninety-six.
The Confucian Dao system also seemed to have instantly completed all realms and mastered the corresponding powers.
As for the Confucian Dao divine abilities that merged the Word Spirit Laws and Confucian Dao...
Li Yi raised his right hand slightly, "Fire!"
With a 'boom', a fireball condensed out of thin air from the palm of his hand.
"Big!"
The fireball was affected by the rules and expanded, growing larger in his palm.
"Fiery!"
The temperature of the flames suddenly increased, the terrifying heat causing the space to warp.
"Scatter!"
Silently, the fireball, whose power was comparable to nuclear fusion, dissipated from Li Yi's palm.
Only the space that had been warped by the high temperature and had not yet recovered, and the traces of 'burning' left by the super high temperature after the room had been ravaged, told of the fireball's existence.
This trace was caused by him forgetting to control the destructive power when he increased the temperature of the fireball.
Although he reacted in time and constrained the destructive power of the high temperature in an instant.
But that instant of high temperature almost ignited the entire building.
Looking at the 'crime scene' in front of him, Li Yi felt a little uneasy.
"Rewind."
As soon as the words left his mouth, the time of the entire room was rewound by a few seconds, returning to its state before it was destroyed by the high temperature.
After destroying the 'evidence', Li Yi savored the 'word as law' he had just experienced.
This 'word as law' was an extremely powerful divine ability for ordinary Confucian Dao cultivators, or for any cultivator in any cultivation system.
Word as law allows the practitioner to display the power corresponding to the law without mastering it.
If ordinary cultivators were able to master it, it would absolutely increase their combat power tremendously.
But he was a Da Luo, laws, or Dao, were all things that moved at his will.
Therefore, this divine ability was somewhat of a waste for him.
Of course, putting aside the rank of Da Luo.
This 'word as law' divine ability was still quite good for occasionally putting on a small show.
Nodding in slight satisfaction, Li Yi glanced at the two world origins in his hand.
With a wave of his hand, he merged these two world origins into the world origin of this world.
After dealing with the two world origins, he took out his phone and opened the chat interface of his fellow academician, Lan.
"I just merged two more world origins, let's see if there are any new changes."
A few minutes later, his fellow academician Lan replied:
"Seventeen seconds before you sent this message, that set of constants changed again."
Li Yi: "That being the case, it can be roughly confirmed that this set of constants is related to the world origin."
Blue Star: "It's probably like that, but we haven't yet discovered what impact the changes in this set of constants have had on the world."
Li Yi: "No rush, whatever changes there are will eventually be discovered."
The two continued to chat about this topic, each taking turns speaking.
As they chatted, they somehow went off-topic.
At the same time.
In Yuzhou, Kaifeng Prefecture.
The provincial archaeological team's protective excavation of an ancient tomb that had been looted had reached its final stages.
Through the excavations over this period of time, and by analyzing some of the unearthed artifacts and documents, the archaeologists had basically determined the age and owner of this ancient tomb.
This was a tomb from the Song Dynasty, the specific period could be roughly narrowed down to the late Northern Song Dynasty to the early Southern Song Dynasty.
Judging from the unearthed documents, the identity of the tomb owner could also be basically determined to be a Song official named Deng Chang.
He had served as the Emperor Zhezong's keeper of records, and in the eleventh month of the first year of the Huizong reign, he was promoted to the position of Zhongshu She Ren, an official position in the imperial secretariat, and concurrently served as a Reader.
He later served as the Left and Right Ministers of the Ministry of Rites, the Minister of the Imperial Secretariat, and the Chief of the Privy Council, and in the second month of the Yihai year, he was promoted to Shao Bao, a rank of high official.
Because he had once served as the Emperor's keeper of records, a rather special position, it was possible that some historical secrets not recorded in known history could be excavated from the tomb.
Therefore, Professor Qin, who was in charge of the excavation, placed great importance on this ancient tomb.
After the accompanying burial objects and documents were removed from the tomb and the excavation was basically completed.
He took two of his students with him and carefully inspected the tomb chamber again, for fear of missing even a single inscription.
Han Xiaoxiao was one of the two doctoral students Professor Qin brought with him.
As a research student working for her supervisor.
Even though she felt that her supervisor's insistence on having them check every crack in the floor for missing items was a bit ridiculous.
But for her degree and future, she still diligently searched every tomb brick and every crack in the floor of the tomb chamber under the guidance of her supervisor.
And then... she accidentally stepped on a tomb brick that was originally in the position of the coffin.
As the sound of "click" echoed through the tomb chamber.
Professor Qin and the other research student looked at Han Xiaoxiao at the same time.
"What happened?"
Han Xiaoxiao pointed to the ground beneath her, "The brick, I stepped on it and it broke."
Tomb bricks from the Song Dynasty were also artifacts, and her tone was slightly apologetic.
"How could a brick break so easily?"
Professor Qin came over, looked at the tomb brick that Han Xiaoxiao had stepped on and broken into two pieces.
He raised an eyebrow, squatted down, and said, "Move your foot."
Han Xiaoxiao obediently moved her foot, and Professor Qin reached out and pried up the broken tomb brick.
The brick was lifted, revealing a damaged wooden box underneath.
"There's something here?"
Professor Qin was surprised for a moment, suppressing the excitement in his heart, and carefully lifted the surrounding tomb bricks.
After lifting the wooden box out, through the decayed and broken lid, he vaguely saw that there were pages of writing inside.
"Teacher?"
Seeing him digging out a wooden box from under the tomb bricks, Han Xiaoxiao and the other research student both gathered around.
"A wooden box hidden so carefully, must contain something very important, right?
"This wooden box is already decayed, the lid is broken.
"Why don't we just open it here and see what's inside?"
The other research student's words were extremely unprofessional, and under normal circumstances, Professor Qin would inevitably scold him.
But at this moment, for some reason, he felt that what the student said seemed to make sense.
So the teacher and the three students agreed, and Professor Qin carefully removed the decayed and broken lid of the wooden box, revealing the well-hidden treasure inside the wooden box - a piece of paper.
"A fragment of a page?"
Seeing what was in the wooden box, all three of them were stunned for a moment, followed by a burst of excitement.
This was the tomb of an official who had once been the Emperor's keeper of records.
Could the paper that he carefully treasured even after death be an ordinary piece of paper?
Could this paper record some unknown secret history?
With excited hearts, Professor Qin and the three did not rashly take out the paper, but looked at the content of the paper together:
［On the twelfth day of the first month of the third year of Yuanfu, at the third quarter of the Chou hour, the Emperor passed away.
The Dragon Bell tolled nine times, the entire nation mourned.］
