The universal laws were ever-present and all-encompassing - while they could not be usually seen, they were all around and truly existed.

Unfortunately, the eyes were easily distracted by the vast information of light they received.

In the Sun God Doctrine, it was said that the Sun God was most commonly known as the god of fire and life.

However, the Sun God was also recorded to be the god of knowledge.

The sun people, Solarans, believed the Sun God was constantly imparting its knowledge down to humans through the light it radiated.

Alas, humans were incapable of processing the vast information contained within the light because they weren\'t built with the ability to decipher it. Thus, most of the time, the information was lost or simply stored as undecipherable particles of light in the back of the mind.

However, it was also because of this that people sometimes received sudden inspiration, insights, and ideas from seemingly out of nowhere--when in truth, they all came from the information hidden in the light particles after they get deciphered with time.

As such, the Solarans also believed the one who could decipher all the hidden information in the Sun God\'s light would also understand the secrets of the universe.

The answers had always been in front of them - most people just didn\'t know how to read them, or rather, they were continuously overwhelmed by the vast information they didn\'t know where to start.

As a Solaran, Astoria didn\'t close her eyes to shut off the vast indecipherable information coming from the Sun God\'s light. She closed her eyes to perceive the information already stored inside her mind.

She didn\'t need to perceive any other universal law.

The Golden Dragon Bloodline was of the light attribute, and so was the light that radiated from the sun.

The Law of Light was one of the few universal laws that could be visibly observed.

However, in terms of comprehending it, the difficulty was just the same as any other elemental law, or perhaps even more so due to the overwhelming information.

As the saying goes - haste makes waste.

In other to have any hopes of progress in the Law of Light, one had to take a step back and perceive a little at a time. Attempting to comprehend too much at once would only freeze their progress and get them nowhere.

Nevertheless, once her eyes were closed, the vast information would stop flooding in and overwhelming her.

The colorful light particles in her mind seemed numerous, like the sea of stars. In the darkness of her mind, such an image was like an internal version of the universe.

Perhaps it was a star map of the chaosverse, formed by the information the sun had collected from other stars. Or perhaps not.

Astoria wouldn\'t know unless she comprehended the Law of Light to a certain stage.

Nevertheless, after keeping her eyes closed for a period of time, the light particles slowly faded and became fewer and fewer in number.

With the decrease in light particles, focusing her perception on a single light particle became increasingly easier.

Unfortunately, just when Astoria thought she could make some progress in comprehending the Law of Light, she was interrupted by Vaan\'s returning presence.

Even though Vaan noticed Astoria was meditating on the laws and avoided disturbing her, she still detected him. Her sixth sense seemed rather effective when it came to finding him.

It could even be said that Astoria\'s sixth sense was a Vaan Detector.

"Sorry," Vaan apologized with some guilt.

However, Astoria shook her head. She didn\'t blame him, nor would she. It was her mistake to pick the wrong time and place for meditating on the laws.

That said, even though she lost all her progress up until the moment she was about to comprehend something, she had at least figured out the direction to understanding the Law of Light.

As such, she just needed to choose a secluded place next time to resume her meditation.

"Never mind that. It didn\'t affect me much at all, really. So don\'t worry about it," Astoria downplayed the matter before glancing around, seemingly in a pleasant mood even. "Did you finish trading with Henrietta? Where is she?"

"She can\'t bring the divine energy crystals back to Pangea, so she decided to stay in the sea of stars to refine them. As such, we don\'t need to wait for her to return. We can leave on our own accord," Vaan explained before mentioning, "I still have business in the Holy Knight Empire."

"Do you want to return with me?" He suggested shortly after.

"Mm." Astoria nodded.

She wouldn\'t reject the chance to spend quality time with Vaan. She started simulating what she could do with Vaan on the way.

The distance between the Blackthorn City and the holy capital of the Holy Knight Empire was not small. Along the way, maybe they could camp the night and have a romantic evening under the stars. She was prepared to offer her long-guarded innocence to the man she loved.

Although it would still be a bit earlier than Astoria originally intended, she felt a hint of urgency. After all, she did support Henrietta entering the harem, but that didn\'t mean she didn\'t have a sense of rivalry.

Since they were both pure, how could she lose to Henrietta in the race for graduation when she was the one to enter Vaan\'s harem first?!

She needed to set the order, at least!

Alas, Astoria\'s ideas for a romantic camping trip were dashed when Vaan grabbed her by the waist and shuttled through space with spatial shifts.

Vaan could only leap five kilometers at once with his current comprehension. Still, after a couple of hundred jumps, they reached the holy capital in no time.

"We\'re here," Vaan casually informed.

"Ah? Are we here? Oh, we are here..." Astoria softly uttered with a blank look, seemingly a little disappointed.

She didn\'t get to carry out her plan, but it wouldn\'t have been possible anyway. She was too deep in her romantic imagination she had even forgotten about the dragons\' spatial magic.

Nevertheless, Astoria didn\'t let that put her down.

She just needed to formulate a new plan.
