...

"I hope Lord Leylin would honor us to showcase our hospitality?" Eam gave him a smile, trying to flatter him. For someone like him who was incomparably arrogant, making such an expression was difficult. His facial muscles even twitched uncoordinatedly.

However, after learning from about the ability, talent, ferocious attitude of Leylin along with his strength had already reached the peak of Breaking Dawn, Eam no longer had any arrogance left in him. That bit of bloodline and strength that he possessed was nothing at all in Leylin's eyes.

The Lyas family could only quiver under Leylin's gaze. Their life or death could be decided in just a mere second with a single thought from the Warlock.

It was natural to bend and try to curry favour with the strong when it came to the life or death of the family; he was the one in charge after all.

"Then, I would be forced to impose on you." Leylin nodded, answering indifferently.

"If we can satisfy Lord Leylin with our service, then it will be an honour for the entire Lyas family!" Eam said with a smile. As a noble he had taken lessons in etiquette before, and while most things were long forgotten it hadn't taken long for him to master it again.

....

"Your Majesty, please!" Eam bowed and lead the way inside his personal villa.

Multi-coloured carpets and pieces of furniture gave off a slight aroma within a luxurious room, as if there had been some special incense burnt here that gave a simple yet elegant feeling.

The grandeur of this room was amazing, This had once been Eam Lyas' mansion. Of course, once Leylin revealed his intentions to stay overnight, he had arranged this place for him with the fastest speed possible.

Leylin decided to use this place for his upcoming meeting.

"Good," Leylin nodded, and numerous rays of lights were emitted.

*Boom!* It was as if the world stopped in that instant. Eam felt like he was a little boat in the vigorous, furious waves of the ocean, about to capsize at any moment.

A streak of light shot in his direction, and he instinctively caught it. Eam retreated several steps, looking stunned as he saw a black rune sizzling in his hands.

The illusions had vanished. Now, he found that he had the a rune in his hands.

"This is my mark, and also a token that can be used for all trades. You can also use it to contact me. It'll go through as long as I'm in the Magus World" With strength incomparably close to that of laws, all sorts of miracles appeared about Leylin. A law rune that represented himself was just a part of it.

Being given this symbol was tantamount to being branded by Leylin. Even if they met with other existences of laws, they could get special treatment. Of course, that did not include his nemesis like the Snake Dowager, in which case they would meet a face worse than death.

After this ceremonial procedure, those with the runes could even make sacrifices to Leylin, getting boosts in power from his law of primordial chaos that could fill their bodies.

Though the Magus World isn't suitable for the large-scaled path of sacrifices, it is perfect to sustain Leylin unique method acquired through the faith energy of God World for passing on his power. With this, safety is guaranteed.

Leylin briefly explained the usage of the rune, while Eam knelt in elation.

Leylin has already passed on his rune to all of his Morning Star and above subordinates even those in different worlds, this is a seal of authenticity for trades as well as a protection charm. Even Belinda and Aegnis has been granted with a rune solidifying their reign as managers here. Having his law rune is same as being recognized by Leylin so, anyone would be beyond thrilled to possess it.

Leylin knows that these two snake females would be the main people in charge and the key to expanding his organisation underground. The two levels of trade profits from both the subterranean world and the surface could not only could be used for expansion costs for the organisation, but would also be more than enough for these three to lead a luxurious lifestyle with resources for their cultivation.

Leylin wanted to keep the trade here going, and as a huge source of revenue for his organisation, even when Eam was an infinitely weaker party in the arrangements Leylin didn't renege to giving them a part of profits.

It was necessary to give the supervisors here some benefits that would motivate them to work harder. If not, if he put too much pressure on them things would only work out in the short run. There would definitely be long term problems.

While Leylin would be able to suppress and pressure the others to keep control, was it necessary? His own organisation would live well and eat well, while the scraps would be given to those outside. That was the way for things to maintain like this in the long run.

"You may leave." Leylin waved his hand and looked around the room as he sat on the couch silently waiting for his guest.

There was huge oil painting on the wall, a portrait of a blue-haired Warlock. The man in the portrait looked somewhat similar to Eam; it was probably the founder of his family.

After being lightly glanced by Leylin on for a brief period of time, the portrait's eyes flickered, revealing an expression full of terror as if it was alive. However, it could not speak nor move, and only watched Leylin imploringly.

Leylin stroked his chin while sitting on the sofa meditating calmly, allowing the portrait to heave a sigh of relief before it returned to its previous frozen expression.

It hasn't been long since Leylin returned to Magus World after fulfilling his goals in Purgatory World, after coming he took care of some immediate business and arrangements finally coming here to, At this point Leylin has already officially handed most of the responsibility to Freya because at his level, he cared nothing for it.

"Come out!" Leylin now looked extremely calm breaking into a soft smile, as his eyes shifted to the cupboard.

*Plop! Blop* The ground seemed to melt in an instant, emitting black bubbles. A layer of orange appeared, crawling through the room. In the blink of an eye, the room had changed around Leylin. Watching it, a thought sprang to his mind.

'You are the one I have been waiting for, ' He stroked his chin. Leylin really needed to meet this being of law named Ignox because he would be the one to finally give Leylin what he wants by check in his family archives and enable Leylin to fully complete the truesoul splitting experiment and get rid of its drawbacks.

In this new environment, a black door of light appeared from the cupboard and was pulled open. A Magus wearing a swallow-tailed coat and a hat slowly walked out with a walking stick in hand. The man wore a pair of golden spectacles with round lenses, a complicated and intricate chain linking to them from behind his ear.

"Nice to meet you. This humble servant here is called Ignox," The Magus who came forward took off his hat and bowed elegantly.

Leylin sized up this person with interest. Through his comprehension of laws, he evidently realised that the body of this person was merely a form that the other party had chosen at will.

The main body, on the other hand, was merely a bundle of mist with a complicated black ring of light at the middle that had some unique rhythm, enveloped by the dense power of laws. A deep and dark aura emanated from it like a bottomless abyss, intimidating and overwhelming.

This was a true rank 7 Magus, a being that had completely grasped a certain law!

"I am Leylin Farlier. Greetings to my Lord!" Leylin was very calm even after this being had arrived.

The soul force of those who comprehended laws could scan the entire central continent in an instant. Though it could not be used to scan every single ant on the ground, immense energy waves could not escape its detections.

Leylin himself hadn't concealed the aura of his laws since the moment he came here, something that allowed him to easily be sensed by others who at such ranks. This encounter was his goal; for better or worse, he was from the Magus World and he had to make contact with the original beings of laws there.

"Tsk tsk the power of infinite chaos and such a terrifying bloodline forceIt's also feels a bit different as well as similar..I hadn't seen such a bloodline source before" Ignox's eyes showed his astonishment, "Even without having passed through the boundaries to become an existence of laws, Mister Leylin's strength isn't lacking at all when compared to us."

Leylin accepted Ignox's flattering without hesitation. Leylin body has surpassed the level of a rank 7, and on top of the mysteries of his primordial chaos law, his other abilities put him on par with a rather accomplished rank 7 law-wielding Magus. Leylin isn't too far from breaking through the boundaries either, he just needs to slowly accumulate himself and he would smoothly enter the ranks of law being officially.

Leylin law doesn't fundamentally originate from stealing from anyone but rather using them as resources to gain comprehension so although he can devour law beings to push past his limits he needs to consolidate his power. In this regards Leylin isn't very tensed because it's just a matter of time, he can steadily feel that he is reaching there slowly but surely.

"Our Magus World hasn't given birth to a new rank 7 since the ancient war! Mister Leylin's existence is truly a cause for celebration!" Ignox seemed very excited.

"My Lord over praise me! I'm only a small Warlock from the surface, and I know little regarding the world of rank 7s and higher. I hope Lord Ignox can properly guide me," Leylin's words were humble.

"Mister Leylin is too humble, Of course! As the higher ranks of the Magus World, it is our duty to help each other!" Ignox nodded solemnly, "Also, there are some things that I need to warn you about. While you've yet to completely enter rank 7, your strength has already reached that point, which is why some restrictions apply to you."

"The restrictions must be placed for the greater good, I won't stand against the ancient contract." Leylin nodded.

Ignox noticed there seemed to be a loophole in Leylin's words but he paid no heed to it, laughing while not the least bit concerned, "It's very simple. You cannot deliberately prevent the Magus World's World Will from recovering. Also, each of us has a fixed region whose defense we're in charge of, and you'll need to thwart the invasions of any beings of laws. For instance, I'm in charge of the first to fourth levels of the subterranean world. Other than that, even if you were to massacre a whole continent nobody will bother with you!"

Leyln's eyes twinkled. "May I ask about the Ancient final war?"

"Yes, the ancient Final War! The dusk of the Gods and the fall of the Magi's glory," Ignox narrated in a singing voice, a trace of fear in his words.

"We would talk in depth about this later and you will find out the specific details soon enough. To sum it up, the two worlds fought in order to achieve the chance to reach rank 9, and a large number of existences of laws fell" While Ignox said this in a relaxed manner, Leylin could picture the mountains of corpses and seas of blood.

Even at its peak the Magus World wouldn't have spawned an existence of laws in a thousand years, but so many had died.

After the war, World Will sank into a deep sleep. The combined conscient of the World of Gods and the higher gods was the same. It even engaged their crystal system and prevented any outsiders from spying on them. Left behind, the Magus first withdrew to the subterranean world, guarding the World Will as close as they could while comprehending laws.

The Magus World's Will sleeping at the earth's core. The nearer the place is to the World Will, the more conspicuous the laws become. The world origin force will also take care of Magi. It's no wonder that those existences of laws stay deep underground and won't come out!

"After signing the contract, Lord Leylin will become a part of us too!" Ignox got to the point, "I am here to notify you about this. There's about a decade until we're done with the preparations for the contract, and when the time comes we'll send you an invitation!"

He seemed to never have considered Leylin's rejection. Of course, Leylin wasn't foolish enough to make enemies out of the existences of laws in the Magus World.

"I understand," Leylin nodded solemnly.

"And the area of governance?" Ignox rubbed a large ruby in his hands, "Lord Leylin came from the surface world, so how about taking care of that area? The danger is at a minimum there, and there aren't any other existences of laws guarding it anyway"

Leylin inwardly rolled his eyes. Perhaps getting him to guard the surface was purely from Ignox's good intentions.

Of course, this matched Leylin's plans, and so he agreed without hesitation, "Of course!"

With the important business done with, Ignox and Leylin continued to chat, his enriching and wide knowledge astounding Leylin. The important matters to be noted after reaching rank 7 were extremely beneficial to him. When he had to leave, Leylin felt somewhat reluctant to part with him. Leylin felt that engaging in a such an enriching conversation would be very beneficial especially for him to finally cross the final step.

"Thank you for your magnificent hospitality, but I must be off. I look forward to my next meeting with you!" Ignox waved at Leylin and entered the door of light in front of the cupboard.

A great deal of rust vanished, and the room returned to what it had looked like before. The feeling of another space being connected here gradually dissipated. Leylin's eyes were filled with an inquisitive glint.

This travel was definitely an evolution of the laws Ignox grasped. It's rather effective when travelling between worlds and the astral plane. Leylin has also used something similar to that to teleport from his mansion to here instantly.

'I would have loved to ask him about the truesoul research sooner rather than later but it would be better to wait till the contract is signed.' Leylin stood up and paced around the room with an erudite expression. Even if Leylin did ask it would take centuries to get what he wants so there is no immediate rush.

"All that's left is to slowly consolidate my powers reaching into Rank 7 formally and there is also the experiment. Time to dive into a long slumber into my laboratory."
