Chapter 439 - Master.
Yang Dao sat on the back of the black turtle with his eyes closed. He was aware of what the laws of the time were. What he needed now was to get an understanding of the laws of space. The space was not as time.
He did not have any tips that might help him. As he sat in meditation, he realized his folly. He scolded himself for being too overconfident and pretending that he can do it all when he posed in front of Atsuji Kurogame as he said, “See you later.”
At this moment suddenly something clicked in his mind. A thought flashed in his mind. He thought, ‘The mind of a human is boundless space as well. However, it has the power to contain all the knowledge in such a tiny space. So, suppose that the wide space around us is also a container that contains it all within itself…’
The black turtle opened his always closed eyes, reflecting the boundless stars in his eyes. He could sense that the pattern on the top of his shell began to squirm enough. The pattern already had a colored design. The black turtle could sense what was happening in the surrounding space.
Yes, Yang Dao was comprehending things at a very fast pace. Atsuji Kurogame was looking forward to how fast can the boy comprehend the vast knowledge of space laws.
…
Feng Yun was gazing at a file when she sensed something radiating from inside her body. She smiled. As the Dao child comprehended the laws of space and time, the shackles on the body of the familiars loosened.
The same thing was happening to the two other familiars. As the Dao child stepped forward on his path of the Dao, the restrictions on the people’s bodies will be loosened as time passed. The laws of space and time were the last shackles on their bodies.
She was smiling because she knew the value of this unshackling. After a few words, the lady went back to her work.
…
Yang Dao kept sitting in the lotus position, without a slight movement, however, his eyelids kept on flickering. The boy had no idea what was happening outside while he was immersed in his meditation. The pattern on the back of the Black turtle was changing continuously. This time the pattern was forming with black and white lines.
If colors were the impression of things left in time, then the black and white were extreme borders of the space laws. It was just like the book cover, the colors were contained within the extremes of monotone. Yang Dao was reaching a higher realm. Suddenly, the crown on the top of his head appeared.
The crown only had the jewels of the corresponding elemental source energy condensed into jewels, but now, the laws of the Dao were all emerging from inside his body in the form of wisps, and condensing into a grey gem at the center of the crown.
Atsuji Kurogame murmured, “The Dao Child is indeed not something we can understand.”
This gem of laws was not supposed to form above his head. At least, in their understanding, it was not. That was why, the murmur. Yang Dao was better than all the dao children they have seen in the past. It was the result of their controlling as they mentioned earlier.
After an unknown time, Yang Dao opened his eyes. The depth of his eyes was something that was never present there before. He said, “Eldest, time to leave. Liro will not be able to tolerate my presence for long, so we need to set things in order before the time limit expires.”
Atsuji Kurogame replied, “As you wish, Master.”
The next moment the two entities vanished, leaving behind the dao symbol of time and space. The color and the monotonous pattern. (The one on the book cover)

They appeared back in the void and in front of them stood an army of the void monsters. The boy sighed and snapped his fingers. A crisp sound echoed in the void and the army vanished from his sight. He did not wait any longer and walked to the dot of light. The void was completely dark, however, they were able to see themselves and make out the way.
This was the mystery of the void of nothingness. Even the void monsters that formed inside it were very easily identifiable. Suddenly a calm voice rang in Yang Dao’s ears, “So, the Dao child has completed his trials, I presume.”
Yang Dao did not say anything and neither did he stop. Atsuji Kurogame, on the other hand, was not as calm as the young man was. This voice brought back a lot of memories in his mind. The memories were not of this life, but they belonged to the past incarnations of his.
The voice echoed again, “What do you think you will achieve by restoring the balance, will it not go astray in the future? Will you be coming back to deal with things over and over again?”
Yang Dao said, “You talk a lot for the ghost of the strongest Dao child of heavens before me.”
His words shocked the old man in the black cloak. He did not expect Yang Dao to see through the voice owner’s identity. Atsuji Kurogame wanted to explain something but Yang Dao just waved his hand and said, “You can talk later elder, the time is running out.”
The time inside the realm of time and space was twice faster than the rest of the sacred realms. This realm was not imbalanced but it was on the verge of collapse because none of the Dao Children ever visited it. The laws of nature were beginning to distort without the presence of someone to perceive them.
Yang Dao suddenly turned his head to the right and spotted a crowd walking towards him. He could make out the vague figures of humans and said, “So, you all gathered here to preach to me on how to follow your incompetence?”
The crowd froze and was about to react when a bow appeared in Yang Dao’s hand. The figures in front of him became more realistic and they all spoke in one voice, “You think we have no weapons and skills?”
Yang Dao shook his head and said, “You all think your half-assed efforts can overpower me?”
He knocked an arrow on the bow. The arrow was covered with the colors of the elements and the laws of nature. The boy let go of the string and with a whistling sound, the arrow flew to the crowd. The figures had no time to even react when the arrow had already hit the leading ghost in his head and exploded. The explosion of radius began to increase followed by the wails of the ghosts of the past.
Yang Dao did not intend to spare an extra thought and second of time on them. He did not bother with these people and walked to the light spot. Atsuji Kurogame followed him without a single word. The Dao Child has changed with his comprehension of the laws. He can now see it all if he wishes to.
The two people crossed the void, Yang Dao was now overpowering to the level, where nothing in the void could stop him until he reaches a higher plane. He did not wait for Atsuji Kurogame to open the void tunnel, and with a wave of his hand, he opened one tunnel for himself.
He jumped out with Atsuji Kurogame in tow. The three familiars were already present on the Dao island. Atsuji Kurogame had told them about their arrival. Yang Dao slowly landed on the ground and asked, “How long have I been gone?”
Laohu Bai replied, “Ten months.”
Yang Dao was surprised but he did not say anything much. He cast a gaze on Feng Yun who said, “Everything is under control. The moon city has been completed and RALF main server has been shifted there. The company is now in the process to start a tourism service for the people.”
Yang Dao nodded and said, “Do it as you may. Tell me where is Omega. The rules of this plane are too imposing, the longer I stay the greater the pressure.”
Ryu Jinshi said, “The old glacier location. He did not move. Sushi has done close recon on him, the guy has been using all the data in his mind to turn himself into a being that has no weakness. According to him at least. I did not act because it was not my duty.”
Yang Dao nodded and said, “You did god by not acting. I still needed a purpose to stay here for a bit. Well, let’s go. Deal with this Omega and go back home one time to meet them all. I wonder how will I bid them farewell. My heart goes into disarray thinking about it.”
He was the Dao child yet he had his own emotions. The boy had a lot of hesitation inside his heart but he could not stay back.. With a sigh, he flew away to deal with Omega, the four familiar spirits followed him in silence.
