Chapter 317: Chapter 317: Hunting The Human Progenitor
[In front of you was a star system with seven stars as the host stars. Yet, in this star system, there’s only one planet, but it was as large as the stars.]
[The seven stars formed a formation, and six of them orbited a red supergiant. It was quite unusual for this to happen, but you knew that it was artificial and one of the works of the Human Progenitor.]
[It borrowed the power of the entire star system to hide the large planet. The large planet in particular housed not only the Human Progenitor, but you’ve also noticed that several extinct plants and resources that were deemed to be extinct were still present within this planet.]
[If it was anyone under False Celestial rank, it would be difficult for them to find this. However, while you were under False Celestial rank, your arsenal of rule-based abilities included locating anything.]
[You believed that even among False Celestial rank powerhouses, even the strongest Dragon Progenitor would find it difficult to find the lair of the Human Progenitor.]
[Not only the Dragon Progenitor, but the Human Progenitor also found it difficult to find the Dragon Progenitor’s lair. In other words, they were confident that no one in this universe could find them unless they were willing to show themselves.]
[You knew that they were hiding from the Wild Gods since, while they’re the strongest, they were still just bigger ants when compared to the Celestial rank Wild Gods.]
[Even when your Zenith Train had already arrived within this star system, the Human Progenitor still hadn’t detected your presence.]
[Leaving the Zenith Train with Morvane, Scarlet, and Astraea, you asked Astraea, "How are our chances?"]
[Astraea calculated and divined with her fingers, using the celestial movement of the constellation and stars to aid her divination.]
[Eventually, she replied, "Ten deaths, no life. Not for us, but for the Human Progenitor. Even if we suppress ourselves and play with him, his fate to die at our hands is already set in stone."]
[Receiving Astraea’s reply, you smirked and didn’t hesitate to use the Space Anchor to seal the surrounding space.]
[Knowing that it wasn’t enough, you’ve also used your Absolute Boundary amplified by your Boundary Principle to establish boundaries around the entire star system, preventing anyone from entering and leaving.]
[With Order King appearing beside you, you declared, "Order! For this king to arrive, yet this esteemed person dared not greet me, it’s a transgression!"]
["In light of the contributions you’ve made to the human race, this king is a magnanimous existence, and I shall only decree a punishment that revokes your right to use your Principle for an hour!"]
[After making that World Order, you also used Royal Confiscation on the Human Progenitor’s Principle to further revoke his right to use it. Coupled with your usage of King’s Decree, just with you alone, you’ve revoked the Human Progenitor’s right to use his main Principle!]
[The Human Progenitor possessed two Principles. His main Principle was the high-grade Civilization Principle, which was at 60% law fragment ownership.]
[As for his second Principle, it was none other than the Luck Principle, which was at approximately 40% law fragment ownership.]
[Actually, the Human Progenitor used to possess more than 50% law fragment ownership of the Luck Principle, which meant that he had obstructed your path for advancing the Luck Principle.]
[For such situations, the most common method was to kill the Principle Holder so that you could continue comprehending the Luck Principle.]
[However, a few decades ago, you discovered that there were other methods, and the most extravagant method was to rely on possessing multiple Principles to prove one’s worthiness, thereby having the right to contend and seize the already owned law fragments.]
[The Luck Principle was a high-grade Principle. To forcefully seize the law fragment ownership of the Human Progenitor, you were required to possess more than three high-grade Principles above 40% law fragment ownership, which was something no one had achieved in the history of this universe.]
[Because of this, this method was thought to be a myth, since not only was gaining the right to seize and contend for an already owned law fragment extremely difficult, comprehending and seizing the already owned law fragment would be several times more difficult than comprehending an unowned law fragment.]
[Not to mention, the exact comprehension method to seize an already owned law fragment was merely incomplete. Even if someone acquired this method and possessed the right to seize and contend for the owned law fragments, they still have to complete this comprehension method, or else it would be impossible.]
[It was only due to your absurdly high talent and comprehension speed, coupled with the assistance of Hint Prompt (Gold), that you’ve managed to complete such a heaven-defying ancient comprehension method.]
[You knew that the reason why this was incomplete was that the creator of this comprehension method had only theorized it and created the prototype, but since they couldn’t gain the right of seizure and contention, they couldn’t even use the very method they’ve created.]
[In the end, this method was treated as a myth, and everyone, including you from a few decades ago, believed that only by killing someone and making the owned law fragments unowned would it be possible to comprehend those already owned law fragments.]
[Fortunately, you’ve managed to make use of it, which allowed you to wantonly comprehend any Principles without having to worry about it being already owned.]
[Of course, due to the restrictions of making it more difficult to comprehend an already owned law fragment, you only comprehended the owned Luck Principle, and the rest were comprehended by it being unowned or killing the Principle Holder.]
[Unbeknownst to the Human Progenitor, you, the culprit who caused his Luck Principle law fragment ownership to decline and weaken him, had already surrounded him and sealed off his exits.]
[After you’ve revoked the Human Progenitor’s right to use his Civilization Principle, you’ve used your own Luck Principle to suppress his Luck Principle, negating its usage.]
[As if this wasn’t enough, Astraea waved her hand and used her Bloodline Magic empowered by her Divination Principle, "Star Class Magic: Crimson Constellation Descent!"]
