Perhaps Ling Tian and the others didn't know the Lord of the Universe's true strength, but one thing was certain: the Lord of the Universe's universe was nowhere near as vast as Ling Tian's Small Worlds. Even one of them was far larger, let alone the 109 Small Worlds Ling Tian possessed now.

If Ling Tian followed the Eastern Emperor Bell's advice and compressed the Origin Power of a Small World to the extreme, forming a vortex, then when that terrifying energy exploded in an instant, it would be beyond the Lord of the Universe's ability to control—let alone suppress. There would be no doubt that the berserk self-detonation would destroy the entire universe. Even if the Lord of the Universe didn't perish outright, he would still be gravely injured.
That was naturally not what the Lord of the Universe wanted to see. So, to keep Ling Tian in check—or, more precisely, to give him something to worry about—he would agree to let Hua Min'er and the others meet with Ling Tian. Then the problem Ling Tian and the others had worried about would no longer be a problem.

Constantly controlling and suppressing that vast Origin Power would be a great tempering for Ling Tian's Nascent Soul. It was no exaggeration to say that it could greatly improve his mental control.
Improved mental control offered Ling Tian many benefits. It would not only increase
