Even as the World Master, the time to peer into the world's underpinnings is limited.
After a day of observing the rules layer, Richard had to withdraw. Actively observing the Rule World requires a massive amount of spiritual power to sustain, and Richard's spiritual power could only last so long.
Of course, the time spent observing the Rule World is not necessarily better the longer it is; the rules that a soul can imprint are limited. Once it's full, no matter how much longer one observes, the rules obtained will not increase.
With his eyes closed in meditation, three hours later, Richard opened his eyes, and the energy around him suddenly became frenzied.
"I've finally gained some harvest after all these years of observation."
After ten years of observation, Richard finally acquired some of the Active Energy Rules.
Standing up, Richard opened the Secret Realm Rift and returned to the Secret Realm.
