When the nine bloodlines merged together, a thunderous roar erupted within Lin Fei. His True Martial King Form instantly reached a hundred thousand meters, even surpassing that mark.

The colossal True Martial King Form spanned across the void, visible to all. Lin Fei made no effort to conceal his aura. Previously, Feng Ling had helped mask his presence, but now, with no one to cover for him, his aura spread far and wide.

"Is that the True Martial King Form?"

"Such a terrifying True Martial King Form, is that the Ancient Origin Saber King?"

"It must be the Ancient Origin Saber King!"

"The aura emanating from the Ancient Origin Saber King is too fearsome. What is he doing?"

"I've seen the Ancient Origin Saber King's True Martial King Form before, but it never had this kind of aura."

"All nine bloodlines have merged into one. Could it be that he's attempting to reach Martial Gods?"

"Yes, attempting Martial Gods..."

There was a wave of astonishment among the onlookers. No one had anticipated that Lin Fei, under their watchful eyes, was about to make an attempt at reaching Martial Gods. That was the realm of Martial Gods – the transformation of a human into a deity, a true metamorphosis of life with a lifespan of a hundred thousand years!

Should he succeed, not only would the Ancient Origin Sect benefit, but even the Feng family would reap immense rewards. For at least a hundred thousand years, they would thrive without any hardships. Such was the deterrent power of a Martial God, dominating an era.

No matter how exceptional the talents, without reaching godhood, they would be suppressed. Many Martial Kings had attempted this step, but without exception, all had failed. Many were in a turmoil of emotions, unsure whether to hope for Lin Fei's success or failure.

The Feng Ling, upon witnessing Lin Fei's True Martial King Form, had her expression change drastically. "Wasn't he supposed to adjust his state? Why the haste?"

Feng Ling immediately rushed back. She was well aware of Lin Fei's situation. Having just failed in his attempt to reach Martial Gods, she feared Lin Fei might recklessly try again, regardless of the cost. Originally, she had great faith in Lin Fei's self-control, but to her surprise, he had acted impulsively.

If he failed again this time, Lin Fei would no longer have the chance to be reborn from the ashes. The Feng Ling had already reached the back mountain, but it was too late to stop Lin Fei. All she could do was silently pray, hoping that this time, Lin Fei would succeed.

Inside Lin Fei's True Martial King Form, where the nine bloodlines had already merged into one, he experienced a moment identical to his first attempt. He saw many threads, one after another, densely packed and connected to the heavens and the earth. Each thread is linked to a certain "Dao" or a kind of "Origin." Lin Fei was clear about the "Origin" he needed now – the World Origin or the laws of the world.

With a loud shout, he slashed with his blade of consciousness.

"Sever!"

With a swoosh, he instantly cut all the threads except for the last one, formed by the integration of his nine bloodlines. Following this thread with his consciousness, Lin Fei soon witnessed a sight before him – an immense amount of Origin, like the Sea of Origin itself, seemingly endless. Each thread of Origin was filled with terrifying power.

These endless threads of Origin, when combined, actually contained the mysteries of the entire world. Whoever could fully grasp the secrets of this Sea of Origin and decode it, could even decode the entire world.

All the mysteries of heaven and earth would have no secrets before them. Of course, this was just Lin Fei's imagination. He understood that it was impossible. He was merely attempting to comprehend the laws of the world, which was already incredibly difficult.

Though the Origin was vast, Lin Fei sought only to take what was useful for him, the laws he could comprehend – the laws of the world!

With a swift motion, Lin Fei's consciousness, without any hesitation, plunged into the Sea of Origin. The Sea of Origin churned, creating towering waves.

Lin Fei's consciousness once again entered the Sea of Origin, that familiar sensation returning.

At this moment, Lin Fei felt as though he was perceiving countless laws, numerous familiar laws such as the way of the saber, the way of fire, the way of wind, and more, all contained within this Sea of Origin.

Lin Fei was fully aware that he could not afford to draw down the power of Origin again. His physical body would not withstand it. Thus, he began to comprehend the laws, choosing the World Laws as his focus. These laws are the key to the operation of the world, its core. So, what exactly constitutes a world? Lin Fei pondered this question.

Elements like earth, fire, water, and wind form the basic components of a world. The Five Elements constitute all things, including life, encompassing everything.

Yet, these are merely the elements that compose a world, one of the basic conditions, not the core. The core of the world, its fundamental essence, what could it be?

In Lin Fei's mind, countless sparks flew – a sign of sudden enlightenment. In the Sea of Origin, such moments of enlightenment were plentiful. Successful enlightenment usually led to mastery of the laws.

Failure to do so meant being forever lost in the Sea of Origin. This was true for every Martial King and even for every Nascent Soul cultivator. Those who could not break through would remain there forever. Only a few could awaken and grasp the laws.

Unbeknownst to Lin Fei, he was at the most critical moment of achieving godhood. One wrong step, and he would face irreparable catastrophe. He was now completely immersed in this atmosphere, his mind flickering with insights. Countless inspirations collided, and he sought to grasp just a single thread of inspiration. He wanted to know what constituted the essence of the world.

Lin Fei's mind revisited the Saber World he had evolved. Though Saber World was not a mystic realm, it could serve as a reference.

What is the Saber World? It is merely a form of energy, evolved by Lin Fei. And what about the small world where the Phoenix resides? Lin Fei had once sensed the small world of the Phoenix. It wasn't particularly large. From a distance, it might appear as a circle. If one kept shrinking it further and further, the circle might become a point.

A drop in the ocean. A vast universe in a speck of dust. A world within a grain of sand. The Phoenix had mentioned that a small world is like a world within a grain of sand. Every grain of sand could potentially contain a world. So, what is a world? Is it a circle? A point? Or maybe, a bundle of energy?

Lin Fei pondered deeply. He felt as if he was on the verge of a breakthrough, on the cusp of grasping something crucial. But he was just a bit short of it. This slight gap was like a chasm!

Suddenly, a flash of insight struck Lin Fei's mind. He realized what the core of the world was. A world could be a point, a circle, a grain of sand, even a piece of paper, or a bundle of energy. The world could be anything. However, all of this is predicated on the existence of "I" within the world, "creating" something.

The world I create is what it is. If I say it's a circle, then it's a circle. If I say it's a grain of sand, then it's a grain of sand. The world is me!
