Lumi revived Ciger and showed him the law of nature’s power so that he would surrender and become its subordinate.

One would find the most ordinary thing precious when in despair.

A drowning man would grab a straw when he was about to die.

Ciger was the drowning man, while Lumi was the straw. He would do anything to hold onto this opportunity.

He was dead once, and his pride was long gone. He now realized playing tough wouldn’t solve any problem.

Lumi was the law of nature. All cultivators depended on it. Therefore, it could practically rule everybody.

By following the law of nature, Ciger knew he would make outstanding achievements, at least in the Dusk Soul Forest.

“Lumi, I mean, My Lord, I’m at your service. I’ll do all your bidding,” Ciger pleaded.

That was what Lumi had been waiting for, but it didn’t say yes right away.

Having Ciger’s help wasn’t the most important thing because he wasn’t particularly capable. It needed Ciger’s heartfelt submission.

He had to follow Lumi’s orders and even be willing to die for it.

Lumi only wanted an obedient servant.

“My Lord, do you think I’m too weak? I was sharing a body with my brother, so I couldn’t exert my full power.

“Please trust me! I can help you!” Ciger was very sincere.

Lumi felt it was the right time, so it said yes. Otherwise, Ciger might hesitate, and that wasn’t what it wanted.

What Lumi didn’t know was that Ciger had never recognized its power.

The law of nature?

So what?

Ciger didn’t care what law Lumi represented. He only wanted to use its power.

He had no gratitude toward Lumi for bringing him back to life. Once he discovered Lumi’s weakness, he would abandon it right away.

Lumi didn’t know any of that and thought it had total control over Ciger.

“Since you’re working for me now, I won’t mistreat you.

“Yagon has killed you once. I’ll help you gain enough power to defeat him. You’ll have your revenge!

“But the time isn’t right yet. You need to hide for now. There’s a stone chamber on the western border of the forest. You can stay there until you recover,” Lumi said.

Ciger looked thrilled. He immediately thanked Lumi, making sure it wouldn’t notice anything.

…

In Yagon’s house, Himmel Soan told Yagon about Lumi being the embodiment of the law of nature.

“What? Lumi is the law of nature?” Yagon couldn’t believe his ears.

“I see you don’t know anything about it. Technically, it’s not the law of nature itself but only an avatar.”

Yagon was astonished. He had no idea. He had had his speculations, but the existence of the law of nature stopped him from investigating further.

It was the law of nature!

Yagon didn’t dare probe further. Now that Himmel Soan had said it, things became different. Everything he knew before was overturned.

“I don’t know anything about it.” Yagon shook his head.

Himmel Soan must want to ask him about Lumi, but Yagon didn’t know a thing about that strange creature.

He felt rather guilty because Himmel Soan had saved his life, and he couldn’t give anything in return.

However, Himmel Soan didn’t think much of it. “Don’t worry about it. I know most of its deeds.

“I just wanted to see your reaction.”

Yagon got much more relaxed. He was happy to be of any help to Himmel Soan.

“Unfortunately, Lumi is very mysterious. We don’t know anything besides its name. It seldom comes out, and even Gina said we shouldn’t underestimate Lumi.

“She also told us to be careful around that creature.”

Yagon accidentally brought up Gina.

Himmel Soan was pleasantly surprised. He didn’t expect to receive information on her.

However, that was all Yogan could tell him. He couldn’t recall much.

“I see.

“You still need to be careful around Lumi. I don’t know what plan it has, but it must be an elaborate one.

“I probably won’t stay here for long, and Lumi may still be carrying out its plan. You must keep an eye on it,” said Himmel Soan.

He didn’t know how long he would stay here, but it wouldn’t be for long. Having obtained information on Gina and other continents, he needed to investigate them.

He didn’t think much of Lumi.

“Lumi is the law of nature. No matter what it does, I don’t think I’m powerful enough to intervene.” Yagon sounded concerned.

Regardless of his strength, he couldn’t do anything to stop the law of nature. Therefore, he hoped Himmel Soan could do something about it.

Maybe Mr. Soan knew what to do with Lumi.

Himmel Soan shook his head. “Lumi isn’t equivalent to the real law of nature.

“You’re cultivating under the law of nature. If Lumi interferes with that, the real law of nature wouldn’t permit it.

“If Lumi attacks you, the law of nature will punish it!

“It won’t take that big a risk to come after you unless it wants to die.

“I can’t think of any other reason that Lumi will turn on you, but you still need to be cautious in case anything unexpected happens.”

Yagon nodded. Since Mr. Soan said that, he was much more reassured.

In Stelladom, Viive went to Elixir School on her own. She was playing chess with Bandora.

“You know I’m not here to play chess, don’t you?” Viive said in a cold voice after moving her chess piece.
