Chapter 947 – Empyrean Allheaven Wrath
"I understand, Master," Lynne compliantly nodded after learning what she had to do. But then, she suddenly paused after thinking of something. "Isn't this sun's solar energy problematic, Master?"
'It is,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress admitted.
'This world's sun has an especially powerful devil sealed inside it, one of the seven Empyrean Devils, Allheaven Wrath Empyrean Devil, the ruler of the Wrath Law. As such, the world is full of demonic energy with traces of the Wrath Law after the Cataclysm erupted.'
'However, you don't have to worry about wrath and demon energy. Master will help you purify them,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress assured.
Nevertheless, Lynne was astonished after listening to her master.
"Didn't you mention that the Great War destroyed everything in the primordial era? This includes all of the devil race, right? How can there still be an Empyrean Devil in this age?" Lynne expressed her doubts.
'Of course, the Great War destroyed everything in the primordial era. Naturally, that goes for the seven Empyrean Devils and seven Empyrean Gods. What I meant is one of Allheaven Wrath Empyrean Devil's soul fragment is sealed in the sun, child,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress stated.
'If it was Allheaven Wrath Empyrean Devil's complete being, there's no way a single low-level star can seal him. Furthermore, Planet Gaia wouldn't be the only world affected by Allheaven Wrath Empyrean Devil's Wrath Law. His Wrath Law would passively affect at least half of God's Graveyard.'
'That being said, the Allheaven Wrath Empyrean Devil's soul fragment isn't exactly sealed in the sun. It would be more accurate to say that Allheaven Wrath Empyrean Devil's soul fragment is bound to it,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress added.
"Allheaven Wrath Empyrean Devil chose to bind one of his soul fragments to the sun, Master?" Lynne asked with surprise.
'Master doesn't know the truth,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress replied.
'However, for any True Divinity that seeks to gather their scattered soul fragments, binding themselves to a celestial body is the last thing they would do. Master suspects that it wasn't Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's wish to be bound, but the host of his soul fragment.'
After hearing so much from the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress, Lynne finally grasped the situation. Even so, she was astonished by the extent of an Empyrean Devil's power.
Just the height of Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's comprehension into the Wrath Law could passively affect such a vast territory if Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's soul were whole.
The True Divinity Realm was so unfathomable. Lynne wondered if she could genuinely reach such a realm one day.
After all, despite her master's promise to help her reach True Divinity, her master had also said that no one had been able to reach True Divinity anymore in the present era.
"There's something I still don't understand, Master. I thought the seven Empyrean Devils all comprehended the Destruction Law. What is this Wrath Law you mentioned?" Lynne suddenly asked.
'It's true that the Empyrean Devils comprehended Destruction Law. However, that doesn't imply that they haven't or couldn't comprehend other laws, child,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress corrected Lynne's misunderstanding.
'In fact, they can comprehend many laws—if they so wish. However, the vast amount of time invested in mastering all of the laws would make them fall behind in power to the other True Divinities.'
'Nevertheless, that's probably not what you are wondering. You want to understand what the Wrath Law is, correct? Well, you can say that the Wrath Law is a particular type of Destruction Law,' the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress explained.
However, Lynne couldn't quite grasp how wrath is related to destruction. Thus, she asked, "What does wrath have to do with destruction?"
'There are many things in Primal Chaos that are still waiting to be explored. The primordial era might be the earlier period of Primal Chaos. However, not even the True Divinities of that era would dare claim to have understood everything there is to know about Primal Chaos.'
'To answer your question simply, physical destruction isn't the only type of destruction there is. The seven Empyrean Devils comprehended seven unique insights on the Destruction Law.'
'However, seven is definitely not the limit; it depends on the person comprehending the Destruction Law, or any law for that matter. Your unique interpretation and understanding of laws are what breaths life and power into them. In essence, your will shapes the heavenly laws.'
'This is what we call Concepts. They are the manifestation of your understanding of the law, given form. And when your will is powerful enough for your Concepts to affect the world, they become the Truths.'
'In Empyrean Allheaven Wrath's instance, his Wrath Law is the destructive power generated by extreme anger—extreme anger that destroys reason and warps reality to feed on even more of its destructive power.'
After the Divine Ice Phoenix Empress explained up to that point, Lynne finally grasped the nature of the Wrath Law.
She understood why those infected by Wrathful Demonic Energy lose their sanity, become extremely aggressive, and even mutate.
Nevertheless, she had wasted enough time to satisfy her curiosity.
"Master, please teach me how to increase my celestial energy refinement," Lynne requested.
Although her celestial body automatically refines celestial energy, trying to increase its refining speed is like learning how to use a new limb she never had.
Without a special method to assist her, she wouldn't be able to figure it out in the short term.
'Mm. Master will impart the Celestial Refining Sun Art and the Celestial Frost Arts to you, child,' the Divine Ice Phoenix stated.
Shortly after, a string of information flowed into Lynne's mind.
The Celestial Refining Sun Art taught her to increase her celestial energy refinement. On the other hand, the Celestial Frost Arts taught her how to use that celestial energy.
After Lynne ingested the knowledge, she understood what it means to be a Celestial without any Celestial Arts.
It was like a bird without its wings.
The true might of a Celestial Warrior… Lynne was looking forward to seeing what she was capable of.
