Chapter 362: Return
Aldrian felt confused by the lack of reaction from the heavens. Life laws are on the same level as death laws, meaning they can only be comprehended by "higher" beings. He knew this because of his continuous visions, which provided him with such knowledge.
If someone like him, who was still a mere mortal were to comprehend these laws, the heavenly laws would judge whether he was worthy of such enlightenment. He would have to face an immensely powerful heavenly tribulation. The power of such a tribulation was said to be insurmountable, as these laws were considered taboo for mortals.
Now, just like when he comprehended death laws, he should have triggered a heavenly tribulation. Yet, the heavens remained still, leaving him confused.
He closed his eyes and tried to sense the heavens himself. Ever since he had left the Shrine of the Beginning, he had felt an invisible connection to something "higher," something beyond mortal perception, something he believed to be the heavens themselves.
Combining this new connection with his senses, he attempted to feel the presence of the heavens. He then succeeded in connecting to them. Within his domain, the heavens were easily accessible, which only deepened his curiosity.
What was the difference between the heavens inside his domain and those outside of it? Why was the heaven within his domain much easier to sense?
Suddenly, he felt an intent appearing in his mind, coming from nowhere. Unlike that place where he could communicate with the heavens as if speaking, in this world, he could only sense the heavens’ intent.
The intent was quite clear—clear enough for him to interpret and attempt to understand.
"Hmm, what is it? No... heavenly... tribulation... universe... law... stop... me?"
The message seemed fragmented, making it difficult to grasp the heavens’ true meaning. However, from what he tried to understand, he did not trigger the heavenly tribulation because the laws of universe had stopped only for him?
"Is it because I’m already connected to the heavens directly? And I’m being given some leniency or something like that?"
