Stabilizing the Anomalies of Lake

 With the last of the Paths had reached the Elementary Understanding, he knew he could break through the Genesis Core. However, just to make sure, he decided to check inside his Inner Realm first.

 When he did so, he spotted more than 42 objects circling his core, each trying to integrate into it but was repelled by another when it was getting too close to succeeding. He looked at the three new additions, a black sphere that seemed to absorb anything that came too close, a rift in space, and the last one, an hourglass that seemed to contain control over time.

 With the last three hardest Paths reaching the Elementary Understanding, he could attempt his breakthrough. However, before that, he had to escape from the hidden realm first.

 So, he walked towards the last lake, ready to escape the place.

 When he reached the edge of the lake, he released his Soul Sense, spotting the different anomalies present in and on the lake. With all of his Paths reaching the Elementary Understanding, he could easily see the different instabilities formed.

 Before, he could see them intertwining closely, seemingly nothing able to break the bond, now, he could see the crude formation of the anomalies, while close, is not intertwined to the point it was impossible to break the bond first.

 His plan to stabilize the anomalies is using his mastery of the different Laws to separate them first before stabilizing them one by one. While before it could cause the anomalies to reappear, if he did it now, he could separate the Law, preventing the already stabilized Law from returning to its state of instability.

 That is his plan, to tackle it one law at a time in one place. While it might take a long time, it is necessary to give him a clear path to the island.

 He gritted his teeth, ready for a rather tiring time, his Soul and qi likely strained greatly during the process.

 As he had thought, he barely reached a quarter of the way when he felt tired from stabilizing the anomalies. The only upside is that the anomalies didn't return to their previous state, making his hard work actually pay off.

 He then decided to rest for a while, before finally going back to another day of stabilizing anomalies to the Rule of the world.

 When he woke up, to this eternal gratitude, the previously stabilized anomalies didn't return to their previous state. It had been one of his fears, that when he woke up, it would return to normal, or abnormalities.

 With his fear assuaged, he began the process of stabilizing the anomalies, seeing the ray of hope that would lead him out of the dreadful even if bountiful place.

-x-

 He let out a tired sigh, the last obstacle showing itself. Compared to the previous anomalies he stabilized, it all looked like a simple task compared to the behemoth of a task in front of him.

 From what he could see, the final anomaly between him and his family surrounded the island, making it impossible to leave without solving it. However, what the said anomaly is encompassed is the reason for his current dread.

 The anomaly seems to contain all three Laws, compared to the smaller one that is only composed of one or two different Laws. Not to mention, while the previous anomalies he stabilized is relatively small, the only difficulty is the connection between two different laws, making thing harder for him.

 Now, the anomaly in front of him is made of three different laws, plus, the instability is the same as the anomalies he stabilized to reach the Elementary Understanding. So, he has to deal with anomalies that have the same energy level as a floating mountain, a field of spatial rifts, and an area that undergoes seasonal change in a matter of minutes.

 And to top it off, the intertwining between the different laws only make thing harder for him!

 He let out a slightly frustrated sigh, trying to calm himself down before he did something he regretted. Right now, he needed to stabilize the area around the lake or he would be kissing the chances to return to his family, goodbye.

 He removed the depressing and troublesome thought, opting to think more positively. "Remember, you had already dealt with the more difficult challenge before. Now, it is just the same, the only difference is the bond between the different Laws and I have to clear three of them one after another,"

 With that thought, Ryker made his way to the last obstacle, to make sure he would win and escape the hidden realm.

 He used both his qi and Soul Sense to detect the different Laws, hoping for them to be separate at some point in their length. His optimism seemed to pay off, he is now able to sense the different points of when the Law seemed to be separate, the gap that he could exploit.

 Without wasting any time, he walked towards the first place, calmly assessing which Law he should weaken and stabilize first. It didn't take him long to realize it was the Law of Time that had trouble integrating with the other two Laws.

 He used the Heavenly Time Scripture, finding some notable weaknesses first before he began to repair the law of Time in the area. When the law of Time was stabilized, he could feel time began to flow normally once again.

 With such a thing happening, Ryker began to focus on the next Law, the Law of Gravity. With the time anomalies removed, the gravitational anomalies was the one the be repaired after it.

 Compared to the time anomalies, this one is much easier as his understanding of Law of Gravity is higher than Law of Time, at least currently.

 When he was able to stabilize both the time and gravity anomalies, the last part was spatial law. While he couldn't confirm it, he believed his mastery of Law of Space was the best out of the three.

 This is evident by the fact he was able to stabilize the Law of Space in a matter of seconds. Even if the other two are no longer intertwined with the spatial anomalies, it would still be hard to stabilize it all on his own.

 It just shows he had great talent regarding Law of Space. Now he knew about it, he planned to practice it when he got the chance as the Law of Space would benefit him and his family greatly.

 He looked at the center, the thought regarding the future to be shelved for later. Now, he should begin his escape first.
