Compared to the four primordial gods, Sky Father Uranus's divine power was slightly inferior, but no god dared to speak loudly to him.
Some laws could simply do as they pleased.
Even without considering laws themselves, the three elements of divine nature, divine power, and divine body were not necessarily of the same level of strength.
In actual combat, with endless variations, the final victory or defeat still depended on the display of comprehensive strength.
As for laws, this was even more complex and could only be analyzed specifically under specific circumstances.
Generally speaking, laws could be divided into five main types:
"Primordial Origin Type" - these were the most fundamental and primitive laws of the universe, such as matter, void, darkness, night, love and desire. They were the most fundamental existences that constituted the universe.
"Creation Origin Type" - these laws were closely connected to the formation and evolution of the universe, such as great thunder, light, firmament, sky, earth fire water air, fertility and birth, creation. They were indispensable forces for the universe's existence, evolution, and growth.
"Supreme Authority Type" - high-level laws that transcended specific matter and influenced cosmic operation, such as death, fate, order, wisdom. They were the macroscopic rules of cosmic operation.
"Main God Authority Type" - some important domains, such as forging, agriculture, ocean, earthquakes, war. They were important forces that supported life development and influenced life existence.
"Concrete Domain Type" - referring to laws directly related to specific phenomena or elements, as well as conceptual existences derived from life's existence, such as gale, tsunami, dusk, art, music, poetry. They were the rules behind phenomena existing in the universe, as well as concepts of life development and evolution.
These were only types, not ranked high or low. The specific hierarchy and subordination of laws had to be viewed and analyzed specifically.
Although some laws were also ranked in hierarchy and subordination, this did not absolutely determine strength or weakness in battle.
The hierarchical relationships of many compound authorities were even more vague and difficult to clearly define.
In pure struggles between laws, whether mutual generation and restraint or different subordination, when it came to actual fighting, it still depended on the strength or weakness of the deities' own divine nature and divine power.
Even before some completely unrelated laws, relying solely on the laws themselves, they could not produce any effect on each other.
Like dusk and gale, they could not influence each other at all, and painting and music could hardly determine victory or defeat.
However, under normal circumstances, laws closer to the origin had stronger divine nature and divine power.
As the universe continued to improve and laws became increasingly complex, the duties and authorities of deities would also become increasingly compound and interconnected - this was the inevitable trend of cosmic evolution.
Many deities could therefore master multiple law authorities, becoming compound law gods whose power would be more powerful and diverse. This also made level classification increasingly difficult, and battle outcomes increasingly difficult to determine.
Additionally, since the same god could possess multiple laws and become a compound law god.
Then the same law could also have its authority shared among gods. This sharing was divided into two situations.
The first was law sharing with a master, meaning the law had an independent divine nature self-existence.
In this situation, the law god could choose to share or grant partial authority to other deities.
However, this law god always possessed absolute control, able to revoke shared authority at any time or impose various restrictions on the sharers.
This could be understood as a homeowner sharing their house with others to live in, but still retaining absolute control.
The second was non-divine nature law sharing. Such laws were pure laws that had not yet formed independent divine nature selves, and once grasped by other gods, it was difficult for them to form self-consciousness again.
Such laws could be shared by multiple deities, and the ultimate power they displayed depended entirely on the gods' own depth of understanding and exquisite application of the law, as well as the strength of their divine nature and divine power.
This was like an ownerless park - whoever occupied the best location depended purely on individual ability.
Many ocean system gods were granted authority by Oceanus or shared some water-related law authorities; those with independent laws were in the minority.
In principle, as long as one possessed law authority, they could all produce certain influence on cosmic existence.
However, if the opponent's law essence was closer to the origin, their divine nature more vast, or their divine power and divine body more formidable, then imposing influence on them became increasingly difficult. Even if effects could be produced, the results were often unsatisfactory.
If directly affecting the application of laws themselves, it mainly depended on the opponent's law essence and divine nature.
Specifically, the application of laws and the effects produced mainly depended on divine nature and divine power.
Some laws themselves might not be so close to cosmic origins, but if in the hands of different deities, relying on their powerful divine nature and divine power to deploy them, they could still affect the entire universe.
However, if the opponent could be formidable enough to "cut" their connection with the cosmic world, then any law's influence would become ineffective.
But this was very difficult - except for the two God Kings, no other gods could achieve this.
And the two God Kings could not always cut their connection with the world either, as they ultimately had to live within the world.
This meant that with calculation against the unprepared, even God Kings could fall into traps.
But once the God King reacted, the consequences...
Ordinary gods couldn't bear them anyway.
Then there was law refinement. As cosmic laws became increasingly perfect, many fundamental laws would inevitably become increasingly detailed and complex under continuous evolution and subdivision.
In principle, any law possessing self-divine nature was the absolute master of the law it governed.
However, many laws were often intertwined and interconnected, making it almost impossible to exist independently of the whole.
The birth of many laws was itself evolved from more original and grander concepts, like subdivided branches on a giant tree.
Therefore, if one law had strong correlation with another law, and the former happened to be within the broader law authority's dominion of the latter, then it would inevitably be influenced or controlled by it.
The intensity of this influence and the degree of control depended on the strength of correlation and the breadth and dimensional depth of the opponent's authority coverage.
For instance, the law of majestic mountain ranges was in an absolutely subordinate position relative to the law of vast boundless earth.
Although the mountains had completely mastered their own law and possessed independent divine nature and will, under earth's unquestionably vast authority, they would still be indirectly dominated.
But this domination was not absolute control - mountain divine nature still had self-consciousness, and earth could only indirectly manipulate and influence mountains through the broader concept of earth.
If mountains simply refused to cooperate, then earth could only rely on its supreme authority, using magnificent divine nature and vast divine power to forcibly suppress and control. However, in this situation, earth's manipulation would be twice the effort for half the result, with enormous power consumption and poor effects.
