Chapter 532: Success (Bonus Chapter!)

At this moment, Linley felt that there was no longer any barrier between himself and the Hongmeng Energy within the Hongmeng Space. They were completely intimate and inseparable.

All of the Hongmeng Energy around him moved according to his thoughts, just like the Hongmeng Energy within his own body.

It was just like the Will Power he had obtained when he first completed his four-element soul mutation.

No, it was a form of "control" countless times more powerful than Will Power.

Linley was confident that, with his current strength, even immediately creating a universe was no longer something beyond his abilities.

"Hahaha, Fourth Brother, from now on, you are our Fourth Brother, Lin Meng."

"Lin Meng?"

"Yes. The lifeforms within the universes all have the same surname when they are brothers and sisters, don't they?"

"As siblings in the Hongmeng Space, we naturally should have the same name as well."

"I am Hongmeng, Second Brother is Luo Meng, Third Sister is Ya Meng, and Fourth Brother, you are Lin Meng."

"The four of us are all first-level Hongmeng Controllers."

"As for the Hongmeng lifeforms who appear later, even if they leave their names on the Hongmeng Golden Ranking, they can only be second-level Hongmeng Controllers."

Hongmeng did not say what came next.

But whether it was Death Sovereign or Linley, both understood what Hongmeng meant.

It was true that Hongmeng was lonely, and it was also true that he wanted a few more brothers and sisters.

But not every lifeform that entered the Hongmeng Space was qualified to be acknowledged by Hongmeng as one of his family.

The four positions for first-level Hongmeng Controllers represented the family members acknowledged by Hongmeng.

The lifeforms who entered the Hongmeng Space afterward could only lament that they had been unlucky.

After all, in Hongmeng's view, the strength of the lifeforms who entered the Hongmeng Space in the future would be impossible to reach their level, and their talents would also be impossible to compare with Locke's.

Just as Hongmeng was about to put away the Hongmeng Golden Ranking, the entire Hongmeng Space suddenly trembled.

"Eh?"

Having become Hongmeng Controllers, Hongmeng and the others possessed absolute control over the Hongmeng Energy within the Hongmeng Space.

Therefore, although the tremor was slight, to them, it was a disturbance even greater than a massive earthquake on a material plane.

Especially for Hongmeng.

He had been in the Hongmeng Space for more than fifteen hundred trillion years, yet this was the first time he had ever sensed the Hongmeng Energy tremble.

Furthermore, as a Hongmeng Controller, Hongmeng could sense that this tremor was not simply the Hongmeng Energy trembling. It seemed to be the Hongmeng Great Dao itself trembling!

Very quickly, the three of them turned their gazes toward the place where the tremor had originated.

There was a small chaotic universe floating there, resembling a starry sky.

That was the small universe Locke had created during his seclusion.

"It's Locke!"

After seeing the source of the tremor, the three of them were surprised, but they also felt that it was within reason.

Within the Hongmeng Space, even Hongmeng himself could not cause the Hongmeng Great Dao to tremble.

If there was anyone who could possibly cause the Hongmeng Great Dao to tremble, then in Hongmeng's view, it could only be his Second Brother, Locke.

Unlike Linley, who had created a possibility out of the impossible, Hongmeng was born with some similarities to Linley.

Hongmeng had been nurtured by the Hongmeng Great Dao within the Hongmeng Space, while Linley's four-element soul mutation could also be regarded as the Magic Universe responding to Hongmeng's expectations and making its own effort.

But Locke was truly a dragon that had grown up in shallow waters!

Not only had he crossed the shackles of the universe step by step, but he had also never been restricted by the Hongmeng Space, this higher-level dimension.

He had even directly seen through the existence of an even higher-level Great Dao while studying the method of creating universes developed by Hongmeng.

At present, even Hongmeng's cultivation was still based on the method of creating universes that Locke had improved.

Only after reaching the point where he could create a "Ten-Directions Universe" would Hongmeng have truly broken through the restrictions imposed by Locke, walked his own path, and advanced to a higher level.

Under the gazes of the three of them, they soon sensed the Hongmeng Great Dao tremble again.

This time, the three of them finally saw what exactly was causing the Hongmeng Great Dao to tremble.

"This is... the power of space?"

Linley could not help exclaiming.

After becoming a Hongmeng Controller and even completely comprehending the method of creating universes, Linley naturally knew that to create a complete universe, the powers of space and time were the most fundamental foundations.

Even the universe created by Hongmeng had relied on Hongmeng Energy transforming into the Five Elements and Four Symbols to evolve space and time. It was not that Hongmeng himself had directly mastered the Laws of Space and Time.

But the power of space now appearing within the Hongmeng Space was fundamentally different from the inferior Law of Space evolved from the Hongmeng Laws.

It was a "Space Great Dao" on the same level as the Hongmeng Great Dao!

"Did Locke succeed?"

Death Sovereign was delighted.

"Yes. It looks like Second Brother really did succeed."

Hongmeng also sighed with emotion.

They knew what Locke had entered seclusion to do.

In Hongmeng's view, such a thing belonged to the realm of "sheer fantasy."

Yet, at the same time, Hongmeng had somehow felt that Locke could truly accomplish it.

Before Locke appeared, Hongmeng had believed that the Xuanhuang Body and Xuanhuang Spirit were the strongest existences within the Hongmeng Space.

But after Locke appeared, Hongmeng realized that the Xuanhuang Body and Xuanhuang Spirit might be the limit that the Hongmeng Space could reach.

But that was not Locke's limit!

Even though Locke had not absorbed the Xuanhuang Energy produced after creating his universe, Hongmeng did not believe that Locke would stop progressing.

As for Death Sovereign, after Locke condensed the Xuanhuang Energy into the Xuanhuang Pearl and gave it to her, Death Sovereign already knew what Locke intended.

Death Sovereign was extremely supportive of Locke's pursuit of a higher level.

However, during her subsequent cultivation, Death Sovereign discovered that her talent was not as good as she had imagined.

After exhausting the entire foundation of the Magic Universe, Death Sovereign had made no substantial progress in her subsequent cultivation for many years.

Death Sovereign knew that once Locke completed the next step of his cultivation, it might be the moment when Locke left the Hongmeng Space.

If she still could not break through the shackles of the universe and enter the Hongmeng Space by then, she might not even be able to see Locke one last time.

Therefore, in the end, Death Sovereign gave up the joy of cultivating independently and chose to refine the Xuanhuang Pearl. Using the Xuanhuang Energy within the Xuanhuang Pearl, she successfully crossed beyond the realm of the Hongmeng Body and Hongmeng Spirit, directly advancing to the realm of the Xuanhuang Body and Xuanhuang Spirit.

Furthermore, because the Xuanhuang Energy Death Sovereign refined came from Locke's Eight Trigrams Universe, Death Sovereign became the universe's administrator second only to Locke, possessing authority second only to Locke's.

It was just that after entering the Hongmeng Space, Death Sovereign still did not get to see Locke, who was in seclusion. Instead, because she had absorbed the Xuanhuang Energy and become a powerhouse no weaker than Hongmeng, she was acknowledged by Hongmeng, allowing her to leave her name on the Hongmeng Golden Ranking and become a Hongmeng Controller.
