Chapter 387: Country of Dao Artifact Rules

The Transforming Dark Eternal Silence Armament requires three top-tier attribute materials: water, fire, and divinity.

According to the basic principles of Weapon Forging, the stronger the Spiritual Law powers, the higher the quality of materials needed.

When creating the Sun Star, the Tomorrow Society gathered materials by hunting during the Great Disaster, and because it was a consumable, the materials were downgraded.

Based on this foundation, even using Great Disaster-level spirit materials to create the Sun Star requires extremely exceptional attributes; otherwise, the level must be raised, needing high-level Great Disaster or even extraordinary-level Great Disaster bones and flesh to bear the Sun Star.

From the requirement for double fusion of unique attributes, it’s clear that while the Unique Armament is powerful, it has high demands. Saying that the Sun Star is low-cost is relative to the strategic forbidden devices of the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect.

Moreover, not all Unique Armaments are suitable for use as consumables; at least the Transforming Dark Eternal Silence cannot compromise on material specifications, with a minimum requirement of Chaotic-level materials.

Of course, if suitable spirit materials matching the "Transforming Dark Eternal Silence attributes" could be found, it could be downgraded to Great Disaster level.

Unfortunately, the Tomorrow Society searched through all records and performed extensive calculations with the True Heaven Instrument but still couldn’t find any; they were simply too rare, so the focus remained on the Chaotic level.

The Walking Cloud True Dragon was recorded in the Cloud Heavenly Spirit Sect as a Water Element being that possessed the ability of Floating Void, allowing it to harvest both water and divine attributes in one breath.

However, defeating such a large-scale Chaotic Demon…

He glanced at the Mark of the Reflecting Moon in his hand.

The Mark of the Reflecting Moon already had some silver patterns spreading out, reaching his wrist. This silver pattern exuded a very unusual aura; gazing at it for too long could lead to sudden mental fatigue. This represented that the Immortal Path associated with this part of Yun Ye’s body had already been severed.

The Force of Freedom was completely ineffective as a Spiritual Law, having fallen from the three heavens, unable to be cultivated any longer.

Perhaps in the past, being tainted by the Force of Freedom was beneficial, allowing one to directly acquire a top-tier physique, but times had changed; obtaining a Free Spirit Body now only meant cutting off his future.

A body tainted by the Force of Freedom could not pursue the Free Spiritual Law nor the Ethereal Law, equating to permanently losing the Spiritual Law enhancement of that part of the body.

If it were only the current scale, it would not have much impact, but if it continued to expand, it would severely weaken Yun Ye.

In fact, Yun Ye might be unable to continue his cultivation.

This was not a battle of life and death; he could no longer use the Force of Freedom.

If the Ming Rihui Sword could not achieve victory, he would withdraw directly; there was no need to push himself.

Amidst the water and fire, a girl like ice and snow stepped forward.

“~~Is it a great enemy?”

Ming Ri stretched her body, her long black hair drifting as she calmly inquired of Yun Ye, resembling a cold goddess.

“Ming Ri, haven’t you returned to red? Are you facing demons?”

Yun Ye exclaimed in surprise.

“After the nation was established, as the representative of the entire Tomorrow Nation, I will remain in my strongest state within the Huangzhou region, regardless of whether it’s against demons or humans. In fact, I can fight in my current form.”

Ming Ri spoke lightly.

“Current form?”

Yun Ye suddenly noticed that this time Ming Ri had appeared without the Tomorrow’s Slice Strike Dao Sword accompanying her!

What is this?

“I can fully replace the Dao Artifact now and can activate the true name power by myself.”

Ming Ri confirmed Yun Ye’s assumption.

She waved her hand, and the ocean of clouds was instantly torn apart by blue light, unable to heal for a long time.

“What is this?”

Yun Ye did not expect that after advancing to the national-level Dao Artifact, Ming Ri would undergo such an astonishing evolution. Did this not mean that if anyone defied the path of tomorrow, Ming Ri could activate the true name power to eliminate them at any time?

“If it is within the scope allowed by the laws of the Tomorrow Nation, then indeed, yes.”

“If it is an outsider invading the Tomorrow Nation without permission, they can be charged with invasion, and for serious cases, the death penalty can be directly pronounced.”

“The rules enhanced by the true name have already created a million echoes; in the state of Form Release, even a real person can be slain.”

Ming Ri did not care about a mere Chaotic Demon.

The national-level Dao Artifact represented a different tier.

The more people represented by the path of tomorrow, the stronger the power of the Dual Slice Strike.

Chaotic Demons were fighting against the 20 million population of the Tomorrow Nation by themselves; perhaps under normal circumstances, it could easily defeat two thousand of them. However, once they converged into the Dao Artifact, the weight changed, and Ming Ri could easily eliminate them.

“What if there is no Form Release? How far can the current rules go?”

Yun Ye asked.

Just eight days had passed since the establishment of the nation, and the first seven days were full celebrations; he hadn’t yet grasped the new powers of the Dao Artifact.

“According to the laws set now, the effectiveness scales down from high to low. Treason and enemy invasions exert the highest effectiveness and can be directly eliminated. Crimes such as murder and drug trafficking can be eliminated if one’s cultivation level is below the Mystic Realm; eliminating someone at the Mystic Realm requires time, and a real person’s elimination needs you, the master, to release the Dao Artifact. If the practitioner possesses a Dao Artifact, it’s a different matter altogether.”

“As for theft, brawling, and similar offenses, they will only be marked; they won’t trigger punishment from the Dao Artifact directly.”

Ming Ri replied, then added, “It’s worth noting that as long as it’s written into the legal text, it can receive my power support, so even small problems will be recorded. In the absence of surpassing the power of a real person, no one can hide their actions in the Tomorrow Nation.”

In other words, a country emerged where laws could be fully enforced, and even the rulers could not defy them.

Great sins would be directly punished with a death sentence proclaimed by the Tomorrow Dao Weapon.

Minor sins would also be recorded and published to the governance.

Here, minor sins are not merely theft; they also include corrupt officials exploiting their positions…

Corrupt officials are undoubtedly hated, but they aren’t at the level that directly warrants the elimination by the Dao Artifact, so they would be recorded alongside theft and robbery and published to the governance.

If the governance does not enforce it, the Dao Artifact will then take action.

In the laws of the Tomorrow Nation, there is no need to consider the cost of enforcement, nor is there a concern that overly severe penalties might lead to offenders acting without care.

In normal countries on Earth, murder results in the death penalty, and confessing could potentially reduce punishment. Although it isn’t guaranteed, there is indeed a chance.

There are two reasons for this setup.

First, capturing criminals costs money; if one confesses, it can reduce resource consumption, allowing the police to handle more cases.

Second, if murder means a guaranteed death sentence, then killing a few more may seem inconsequential, possibly leading to greater casualties.

These are likely the two reasons.

Ordinary world laws require human enforcement, which necessitates compromise.

However, the Tomorrow Dao Weapon does not need humans to enforce; it directly activates the rules to pass judgment.

Now that the echoes are sufficient, many crimes can trigger instant elimination. Even those that cannot be eliminated can be marked, leaving offenders nowhere to escape.

In this case, the severity of criminal penalties is significantly heightened, creating a simple and straightforward deterrent for all offenders, with no room for luck.

Thanks to this, the environment within the Tomorrow Society is so good it’s hard to believe, because once something is written into the law, the Dao Artifact determines right from wrong. This greatly enhances trust among people, and many meaningless internal conflicts have naturally dissipated in the Tomorrow Nation.

In six months, although Yun Ye has been leading troops to clear the remnants of the two sects, the national-level Dao Artifact has already started to take effect. While it may not be as vigorous as it was right after the nation was established, it is steadily changing the Tomorrow Society.

In the past, within the Tomorrow Society, some people formed small groups and dared to set up formations to contact Yun Ye, hoping to influence him. While they may not have violated the laws of the Tomorrow Society, this was the beginning of corruption. If left unchecked, it would surely disrupt the stability of the Tomorrow Society.

Now these problems have resolved themselves without any attack; they have lost their soil to thrive. Forming groups was meant to gain more benefits, but now, even if they form a group, there is no room for maneuver; everything is completely recorded by the Dao Artifact.

If things continue on this path, as long as echoes reach tens of millions or even billions, all laws will have guaranteed enforcement. In a sense, a kind of fairness may truly arrive, though it is merely a possibility…

Yun Ye waved his hand. One by one, figures stepped out of the Secret Realm—eight Dao Masters from the two sects. After seizing the inheritance of the two sects, although many materials were indeed lost due to resistance, there were always those who feared death. Their loyalty allowed many legacies to be preserved intact, and some key parts were even forcefully recorded by Qi Lian using Spirit Law.

Naturally, Yun Ye was most focused on the inheritance of the Qushuang clan. Lan Wuyin’s Formation of Heaven’s Command was considered invincible; if he could acquire its combat power, it would elevate him to the Mystic Realm.

Then something surprising happened; he discovered that many of Lan Wuyin’s puppets were still alive and living according to their respective trajectories…

Yes. They had only their powers removed and had been replanted with new power; they were not dead. Even if Lan Wuyin died, it would not affect them in the short term.

The Qushuang branch consisted of seven lines, with six peerless figures in the law realms. These peerless figures remained in key locations of the two sects and, together with many powerful Dao Masters, controlled formations, ultimately leading to their Sacrifice. However, as a backup for Qushuang, the six peerless figures had no gaps in their relationships. They teamed up to set a formation and ultimately sent off two of their own.

After learning this, Yun Ye exerted great effort to find one of them and defeat them, then handed them over to Qi Lian to read their memories.

Without a doubt, all six peerless figures mastered Qushuang’s Formation of Heaven’s Command; otherwise, they could not coordinate with Lan Wuyin without being controlled.

Thus, Yun Ye acquired the secrets of the Formation of Heaven’s Command. With his learning ability, mastering this formation was quite challenging, and he had to rely on Skill Points to forcibly learn it, reaching a level where he could use it.

So, the eight Dao Masters, each with different zodiac signs, stood around Yun Ye, their powers surging as their formidable magical energy gradually enveloped them. Then suddenly…

Eight lights fell from the sky!

They shone across the sky, piercing through the world as eight beams of light erupted!

Unlike Lan Wuyin’s use of this move, Yun Ye’s Formation of Heaven’s Command lacked an extremely important element; although the power was strong, it did not show any close-up effects.

Yun Ye understood that this was something related to Mystic Heaven, and he could not involve himself in it at his current level since he could not borrow the power of Mystic Heaven.

“One corner of the sky is missing; I shall fill it!”

“Formation of Heaven’s Command!”

Suddenly, a dragon’s eye opened, its vertical pupil shining like the sun.
