Outside, I might not be able to do much, but here just watch how I deal with you.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yuanyuan, get to work!\" it yelled, jabbing a finger toward the Elemental Stone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Elemental Stone flared, forcibly seizing control of the world’s rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its power was rarely exercised to this extent, but this time it could finally cut loose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Its light spread out like an invisible giant hand, clutching the surrounding rules of this world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Rules that normally devoured all light began to change under the Elemental Stone’s influence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Their very nature shifted; they themselves started to shine, turning into uncountable motes of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Go!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With a low shout, those light motes streaked into the darkness and brought light to the Dark World.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This might have been the first time in countless years that this world had seen the slightest glimmer of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The unnumbered motes lit up a portion of the world, but darkness rapidly swallowed them, so the light could not last.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Yet even as that light was devoured, something subtle and strange was happening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin saw innumerable black filaments weaving together into strands, battling against those points of light.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two sides looked like rival species at war, locked in a life and death struggle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Primordial Stone stared wide eyed into the brief, flickering light, searching for the world’s core, while still chattering away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Xiao Yuanyuan has a special power,\" it said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"It can invert the rules of a world and forcibly reverse the Dark World’s rules into their opposite.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Unfortunately, with no true master wielding it right now, the range of rules it can invert is limited.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If you ascend to peak powerhouse, Master, Xiao Yuanyuan will grow far stronger, and a mere Dark World would be nothing.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Lin did not reply.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was studying those rules whose nature had been inverted by the Elemental Stone as they clashed with the Dark World’s native rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Screams filled the soul; he could see light and shadow intertwining everywhere, but not what lay within them in any detail.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He understood that the battle was fierce, but everything happening was simply too small to distinguish.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then a thought flashed through his mind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"If I cannot see it,\" he wondered, \"what if I use soul particles as my eyes?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Soul particles were small enough that their perspective differed completely from ordinary vision.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They observed the world from an unimaginably tiny scale.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Countless soul particles flew out, and Lin borrowed their sight to watch the battle.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"As expected!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Viewed through the soul particles, the scene changed entirely, and for a moment his scalp tingled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In his field of vision, there were endless worms far thinner than hair countless millions of times thinner.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>One kind was pure black, even able to swallow light; the other kind, whose nature had been altered by the Elemental Stone, glowed all over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They fought with desperate ferocity, staking everything, refusing to stop until one side died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Farther away, black threads filled the entire world.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Every one of them was made of these microscopic worms that no naked eye could see.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"So they really are rule lifeforms,\" Lin murmured.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Unlike the Five Element rule world the Primordial Stone had described, this world’s rule lifeform was not a single being, but countless ones.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Dark World was a world composed entirely of rule lifeforms.\u003C\u002Fp>",1419,"2026-05-28T17:22:51.970Z","2026-06-01T04:28:23.049Z",1,"novelbin.me","191c3521431815b840b8057a265d4054a1b528efd40085b19554e22c6a728303","catastrophic-necromancer-chapter-4730","catastrophic-necromancer-chapter-4728",4851,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fcatastrophic-necromancer-cover.jpg"]
