Chojusen took the Space Law Fragment next; this time he made sure to lay down on his bed to not collapse on the floor like the first time. After Chojusen entered the dream world with his soul, he appeared in… nothing? There were no planets, stars, celestial bodies, or even elements for billions of lightyears.
Chojusen got to work as he already knew what he was suppose to be doing, but there was literally nothing for him to study. He thought for a bit, and then released his Fiendgod Butterfly Sage Mode; in that state he would be finely tuned to the space and time laws. Thus, Chojusen finally managed to see traces of space itself.
However, this was a rare chance for Chojusen, so he didn't hesitate to release his Balance Breaker Chaosfiend Scale Mail to receive even more resonance with the Space Laws. Now Chojusen could see space itself with his eyes, and the patterns were a "bit" more complicated than the elemental laws he had looked at previously.
Still, Chojusen's talent for Space was ridiculous beyond reasoning and he managed to create his own Space Dao after collecting Space with his will. Space wasn't like the elemental Laws, and as such it didn't just become a mere Dao. Instead Chojusen created his first Grand Dao. Unlike fire, wind, water, earth, or lightning, reality itself would not exist without Space.
Since Chojusen founded his own style of Space before being ejected by the Law Fragment he stayed for a while longer and managed to pick up on another energy aside from Space. However, this odd energy source was not identified even after Chojusen was kicked out of the dream world.
After Space, naturally came Time. Chojusen entered the dream world, very eager to see what the fragment would put him through. Up until know he had just been put in different places according to the type of energy of the Law Fragment, but time… didn't have a "location" that could be studied.
To Chojusen's surprise, he wasn't put in an extreme environment for his trip into the Time Law Fragment. Instead, he watched from a third person perspective his life develop from his birth to the present in the matter of minutes. He watched his life as if it were a sped up movie. Every day of training, every fight, all his romantic encounters, were summed up in mere moments, and when he reached the present time, the movie that was his life went backwards.
Chojusen was in his Chaosfiend/Fiendgod forms, so even though he was paying more attention to his life flashing before him, both in the forward and backward directions, he still caught the time fluctuations that the Law Fragment expose him to. When his life as the main body went full circle, Chojusen watched the life of his avatar state as well.
Time was even harder to grasp than Space so even Chojusen couldn't really see much. But at the moment he wasn't even in the mood to study time. Instead he thought back to how idiotic his life seemed. Who exactly was Chojusen? The greatest ninja to ever live? The savior of the ninja world? Immortal Sage? True God? Chaosfiend? Fiendgod?
What were all these pointless titles and feats of strength? Was he just a symbol, there to give others inspiration? Because as he thought more and more about his life and dreams, there was nothing but the wish to get stronger and protect his family. But why was that the case? Why did he have to get stronger again? To learn of his origin before he reincarnated with the system? Why did that even matter now? He was a True God with nigh-infinite powers and the only thing he cared about was getting stronger?
What about his friends and family? Where they even important in his eyes? Sure they might all be friendly and "love" each other but Chojusen couldn't help but think that there was a darker side to his psyche… A side that only saw his friends as tools to sharpen his skills with. His lovers? Were they not just there to improve his Dual Cultivation?
When was the last time he even made love to his wives or lovers? And now that he thought about it, it was always them coming on to him! Could it be that he was actually just using all of them to reach his almost impossible goal of becoming God Emperor of Reality?
Chojusen was very scared of all these feelings and thoughts. It reached such an exaggerated point, that he didn't even notice the time fluctuations coming from his body searching for meaning in his actions of the past. He couldn't get the image of him just being a husk of a person lusting for power, out of his head.
These emotions of negativity kept escalating and driving Chojusen mad, until he let out a horrifying scream and woke up out of the Time Law Fragment's Domain. His eyes had the silver light of time within and a new resolve appeared in his heart. He might not be able to change the past, but the future was still bright; especially now that he had his flaws pointed out to him.
After calming down from the extreme emotional stress he had just been put through, Chojusen took the Creation Law Fragment and fell unconscious once again. For this dream, he watched how many things were formed. From the formation of the elements all the way to the formation of celestial bodies and world-ending celestial events.
Creation was just the product of Chaos, Yin, Yang, Space, and Time, so Chojusen didn't have to try that hard to understand and create his own Dao. From the Chaos came Yin and Yang, and those two created everything else; Time and Space were only there to give purpose to Creation. Along with Creation Chojusen comprehended his own Dao of Yang.
Destruction was even easier to learn after understanding Creation, as it was just the degradation of Yin and Yang. It was so easy for Chojusen to understand that he had minutes to spare after entering the world of destruction. Along with Destruction Chojusen comprehended his own Dao of Yin; it was a byproduct of Duality.
It was only at the last scene that the Destruction Law Fragment showed Chojusen something amazing. The last thing he saw in that world was the end of the universe due to entropy. He saw a world devoid of light, time, space, or creation. However, there was still something left over and that something was the same energy that Chojusen felt when he created his Dao of Space.
This energy had been present during his time studying space, time, creation, and now destruction. Furthermore it only appeared when nothing was present… It then dawned on Chojusen that the energy was exactly that; nothing. Nihility. Energy from Nihility seemed like a joke but it was real.
And Chojusen understanding this truth gave him access to study the odd energy in the world of destruction... Nihility? This energy also had particles and patterns of movement… They were almost impossible to notice, but Chojusen had too many special traits to list of why it was possible for him.
Soon he was able to Transmute Creation into Destruction then into Nihility, then into Space, and finally from Space into Time. When that process finished Chojusen returned to the real world.
He had two more Law Fragments to go through. He started with Faith as it was a type of energy he at least understood. When he used up the Law Fragment for Faith, he found himself atop a ridiculously large shrine. Below him, there were countless millions or even billions of people praying towards him from all directions; even animals and demi-humans participated.
Even though the amount of faith energy Chojusen received was ridiculous to the point where he was confident that he could surpass his normal skills with attacks just using faith energy, he wasn't too interested in this energy source as he knew that it relied on… faith. What was the point of having a power that changed with the intentions of others?
Chojusen studied the energy the generated only to see if he could connect some insight to the other Daos he had created. But in the end, he didn't have anything to show for the time he spent in the Faith Law Fragment's domain.
The last Law Fragment Chojusen had earned was the Dream Law Fragment. Before he used the law fragment, the system recommended that the learn the Chi Sage Arts as improving his understanding of lifeforce might have a positive effect on creating a Dream Dao. Chojusen did as the system recommended and had the system download the information for using Chi into his memories.
After what seemed like minutes of random information getting shoved into his mind, Chojusen finally cleared his mind and organized his thoughts. He was amazed at how profound the Chi Sage Arts were. Unlike his Sage Arts, which used the energy of the environment to function, Chi Sage Arts, used Chi — or lifeforce — to put the body into overdrive. It also had the method for creating a Sage Seal to use superpowered energy attacks.
Chojusen fumbled around trying to take hold of his near endless lifeforce and only managed to control it like the method's description after half an hour of practice; he would have learned it much faster if he weren't a True God. Now covered in a white aura and with a small Sage Seal floating vertically behind him, Chojusen could be considered an official Chi Sage.
[Host has learned the form: Chi Sage Mode
Chi Sage Mode (Rank True God | 0/100): By controlling one's lifeforce, the user can cause their body to go into overdrive or sustain a Sage Seal that supplements any and all energy-based attacks. At the True God Level, Sage Seal Shattering will only temporarily seal away Chi Sage Arts for half a week. Current Effect: Body becomes 100 times stronger, Sage Seal amplifies the potency of energy-based attacks by a factor of 50. Sage Seal Shattering further multiplies the Chi Sage Mode by ten times for two hours.]
Now having near-perfect control over his lifeforce, Chojusen shoved the Dream Law Fragment into his head and appeared within a sea of clouds. He found out almost immediately how important having control over his lifeforce in this environment was, as he almost fell asleep if not for his instantaneous reaction to go into Chi Sage Mode.
In this world of sleep-inducing clouds, Chojusen found that the everything that existed had traces of dream-energy; similar to Great Red, but purer. Chojusen looked at the clouds that he stood on, with a keen eye and tried to follow the dream particles' patterns. He had grown used to this exercise, and his pattern deciphering skills had improve quite a lot, so in no time at all, Chojusen had a solid foundation for manipulating dream energy.
However, this wasn't one of the energies present in his previous home universe; like demonic and holy energy. Thus he had to work extra hard to create his Dao from no foundation at all. Chojusen found that dreams were much more complicated than they seemed, they were also way more useful than he imagined. Dreams were like the gate to one's subconscious, so understanding them on a clearer level would not just improve his own understanding of himself, it would also allow him to probe his enemies.
Chojusen stayed in the Dream Law Fragment's world for a solid hour, before he managed to build up his Dao from nothing to the True God level and beyond. His eyes had a purple glow that could see through the soul and his hands carried dream laws to make things appear in the real world out of his imagination.
Then he was kicked out of the Law Fragments World and finished taking on all the rewards he received from winning the war. When Chojusen took a look at his Status it looked almost completely different from the passed.
