They could not break through Shawn’s demigod domain.

— "Spell Reversal [Knowledge Law]: You can bounce back directional spells of a certain ring towards the enemy, and add your casting level, dealing heavy damage to the enemy."

— "Spell Absorption Matrix [Knowledge Law]: You can absorb spells not higher than your casting level, and convert all spells into your power to replenish your consumed mana pool." (PS: Up to a total of 40 rings of spells can be absorbed, and the corresponding mana pool is restored.)

— "Spell Orderer [Knowledge Law]: You can set predetermined counterattack spells that are automatically cast upon activation, equivalent to automatic arcane spellcasting." 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Shawn’s figure remained at ease despite being besieged by more than a dozen legendary managers.

He employed tactics from a great mage who once imprisoned the Slaughter Divine Son for research, and that mage excelled in spell absorption and spell reversal, single-handedly crushing the most numerous other casters.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Shawn’s spell absorption matrix remained unmoved, and under the domains of spell counter and spell reversal, more than a dozen managers of Candlefort were all blasted into a sky full of soul fragments.

It was not until then that Gleian slowly stood up.

He did not take action.

Even after being dead for so long, he still retained some of his consciousness, and he said with immense relief, "You’ve finally regained the power of the Slaughter Throne..."

Gleian slowly closed his eyes, he was self-mutilating, or rather, he was cutting his own soul.

This being, who was a powerful mage during the era of the Saint Catastrophe, cut his soul, and then his brain exploded instantly, countless bizarre knowledge swarmed out, turning into an indescribable shadowy curtain that seemed to isolate all space around.

— Dark Lord [Ancient Evil] [Soul of the Otherworld] [Visitor from Earth Celestial Universe] (Challenge Level 50+)?!

A pair of blood-red pupils emerged in the pitch-black curtain, endless soul resonance appeared.

At this moment, Shawn saw a traveler with an experience somewhat similar to his own, only that he arrived at the Distant Realm earlier, waking after death, merging into the world of the Bizarre Realm, and quickly accumulating wealth through copying books, thereby gaining hidden knowledge about the Extraordinary Path.

Inspiration was trembling!

Shawn’s mind law peeked into the other’s past, seeing a golden-haired youth writing a novel at a desk — "The Great Detective - Morty Laine"!

This is a traveler.

A traveler from the Earth Celestial Universe.

Also an existence ascending through the Path of Knowledge, but he did not succeed in transforming into a demigod, instead, the activated knowledge twisted him into an ancient evil, and even the characters in his novel were transformed by the power of the law into high angels.

Moreover, he was also Gleian’s apprentice, the next manager of Candlefort.

"All these years, Candlefort has not eroded outward, completely because Gleian sealed the ancient evil within his brain."

"Or rather, they shared a soul."

Innumerable knowledge collided in the void, all spells below the legendary level had already failed, because the two of them, being existences of the Path of Knowledge, possessed mystical knowledge enough to unravel each other’s spells. Unlike Shawn’s experience, the Dark Lord was more free, during that era soul resonance had not appeared, he thrived in the Realm of Reality, becoming a legendary mage in just a year, but all this ended the moment he touched the Old Day.

He was assimilated by the law of the Old Day.

This audacious guy had the arrogance like that of a novel protagonist, stubbornly believing he was the legendary savior, and then he daringly stole the Knowledge Law of the ’One Who Unites All - Yog-Sothoth.’

It was also because of this law power that he confined the ’Key of All Gates - Othecus’ inside Candlefort.

If you cannot digest the law of the Old Day, the law of the Old Day will digest you.

Thus the Dark Lord was born.

At this moment, countless dark doors appeared around Shawn, the other had long since lost a human form, his body shattered into fragments the moment he stole the knowledge law, and finally, innumerable activated knowledge reconstructed his soul.

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Detecting the Root Source Law of activated knowledge!"

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Detecting the law domain of the Path of the Gate."

"Alarm! Alarm!"

"Detecting spatial anomaly!..."

Everything in Candlefort was vanishing, the Manager’s Hall turned to nothingness, everything in the Spirit Realm was dissipating, Shawn’s figure appeared in the endless void.

He could no longer maintain his human shape.

Shawn’s figure was also gradually becoming unnameable, the law of the same path formed some sort of resonance, his body turned into an ever-expanding purple bubble, with endless runes forming a rotating nebula inside, and this was because the source of knowledge was some ancient pillar, Shawn’s form would also continuously approach Him.

A piece of dark gray mist spread in outer space.

A mass of swirling purple nebula resisted the other’s erosion.

"Not only did he steal the law of the One Who Unites All, but he also had contact with the Nameless Mist." In an instant, Shawn realized something.

This is the craziest, most audacious guy he had ever seen.

Even the protagonists in biographical stories weren’t as crazily arrogant; he lacked enough reverence for the ancient pillars, naïvely believing that having the luck of a plane’s son, he could attempt to steal the law of the ancient pillar.
