Jacob was startled when he heard the explanation and the importance of this Infinite Space. He also got the answer to another big question that he had had for a very long time: Why can't he himself enter the infinite pendant while the other living thing can?
Now he finally knows. It was simply because the Infinite Space wasn't open yet, and the storage function he had been using since the beginning of his journey was completely different.
Moreover, he was also shocked to hear he couldn't comprehend the law of infinity outside the Infinite Space, and he had another realization at this moment.
"Could the thirteenth law glyph with unknown power represent the Law of Infinity? But can't I comprehend it outside, yet I clearly got its glyph without any understanding of it?" He quickly asked Immortika.
"Hehehehe, at least you can understand this much on your own now. Indeed, that law glyph represents the Law of Infinity. You only got it because you integrated with twelve cosmic vestiges and got all the primal elemental law glyphs.
"You see, it's about time you learn about the laws of Universal Godly Scriptures. You've already known about the three tiers of laws. Still, you don't know that there is another type of law that no one knows because no one can comprehend or awaken them without first comprehending a set of primal laws in a unique sequence in legendary rank!
"Moreover, even if someone managed to comprehend any one of them by luck or fluke, the Universe would destroy that person by thunderous means that you couldn't even begin to understand!
"These laws are called the Forbidden Arcane Laws, and there are only 9 of them in the entire Zodiac Plains and the law of infinity that you have the privilege to comprehend is one of those Forbidden Arcane Laws!
"And finally, only a Godly Scripture has a method to help someone comprehend these Forbidden Arcane Laws, and each scripture has its unique method like I have the Infinite Space. Without these methods, you can never comprehend a Forbidden Arcane Law because the Universe will never allow it!"
Jacob's eyes flickered fiercely as he knew he had learned another massive secret of the universe and also the secret of Universal Godly Scriptures!
"So what you're saying is without a universal godly scripture, no one can comprehend these Forbidden Arcane Laws, and since there are nine Forbidden Arcane Laws, this means each Forbidden Arcane Law represents a Universal Godly Scripture!
"So, that's why you said your element isn't 'cursed'; you are the scripture of the Forbidden Arcane Law of Infinity. But then why curse in your name? What did it have to do with infinity?" Jacob asked without hiding his burning curiosity.
"Hehe, you'll understand once you comprehend the Forbidden Arcane Law of Infinity and complete the 9th Phase. This question is something you must have an answer to by yourself.
"Anyway, now that you understand this much, there is a problem you need to resolve before you can start comprehending the law of Infinity, and without the law of Infinity's first concept, you won't meet the requirement of Arcanist of Infinity.
"An Arcanist is someone who has comprehended the Forbidden Arcane Law, and I don't need to tell you there can only be 9 Arcanists in the entire Zodiac Plains!"
The flames in Jacob's eyes shrunk into tiny beams, and he instantly had a very bad feeling about this. He asked, "What's the problem now?"
"Hahahaha, you already knew about it. It's the second component of the infinity pedant! If you want to comprehend the Law of Infinity, even if it is the first concept, you need not only the Cursed Path Glory Gem but also the second component, the Longevity Path Glory Gem!
"Not only that but you are then required to evolve both magic cores into mythical ranks and form Cursed and Longevity Magic Cores. These two magic cores are mandatory to control infinity.
"That's why it's about time you start searching for the Longevity Magic Core while, in the meantime, you can gather the remaining materials and complete the requirements."
Jacob felt as if someone had poured icy water on him at this moment, and his expression was extremely gloomy. He coldly asked, "Are you being serious? Didn't this mean if I never find this Longevity Path Glory Gem, I'll never be able to make progress?"
"Well, that's the gist of it. But it couldn't be helped since, in the next phases, the infinity pendant's infinite space will become even more important. But look at the bright side. Now that you are in the third phase, I can sense the Longevity Path Glory Gem's direction more clearly, and once you get close enough to it, I can lock on to it directly." Immortika causally stated.
Jacob's expression softened once he heard this, but then he suddenly asked solemnly, "What if I use a wish to get it? How much lifespan do I need to spend?"
"That's a good idea, but I don't think you will be able to pay it even if you have the capital I know you won't agree to it. Not only the Longevity Path Glory Gem is part of a Universal Godly Artifact, which alone raised its value to the extreme, but it is essential for you to comprehend a Forbidden Arcane Law, which increases its value even more!
"And finally, the person who had it in the Mythical or Upper Plains right now should not be an ordinary person. So, if I add everything up, it would be at least 500 million years of lifespan, if not more, to make this wish!"
'F-five hundred million?!'
Jacob was speechless since this cost was even more terrifying than Immortika's making its move personally last time.
Furthermore, just as Immortika said, Jacob would rather spend millions of years searching or planning to get the Longevity Path Glory Gem back than wasting 500 million years of his lifespan to get it directly. Even still, he hesitates to spend even a year of his lifespan on a wish, much less 500 million years, which he hasn't even had yet.
Even with Nyx's much improved and powerful abilities, he knew if he sucked the entire legendary plains' lifeforms dry, he would only get this much lifespan.
Jacob had never imagined that he would hit such an iron wall in the third phase. Now, it seemed that his peaceful days were over, not to mention that there were still those other requirements and materials he needed to complete.
Calming the raging frustration, he changed the topic, "Tell me about the Mythical Rank and that Legendary Master Key?!"
