Halcyon Realm.
A few weeks had passed since Lucius and Alexander's battle.
In a large grassy plain, loud ragged breaths coming from Alexander echoed as he lay on the ground, covered in sweat.
"Holy shit, the laws of this place are way too harsh."
As soon as he had arrived at the Gravel, with the help of the Reizon elders and ancestors he had reforged his foundations and re-cultivated from the beginning and reached the peak of the 12th step thanks to the Halcyon realm's time dilation.
"It's only gonna get worse from here, I'm sure at the academy the laws will be even more robust ."
"How do they even control that stuff? Shouldn't the laws be the same everywhere?"
"Higher worlds have more complete and powerful laws as well as access to more potent energy. This creates a cycle that strengthens the other."
"The laws of the gravel are the peak of what natural laws can be but some individuals are so powerful they can strengthen and alter laws as they wish."
