Next, Hongmeng explained the structure of Hongmeng Space to Hodan and told him about his wish.
Hodan also asked Hongmeng a question. "I feel like my body became about as strong as yours after I fused the power of the Four Sovereigns. Is that right?"
"Hahaha! Second Brother, your body is the same as mine: a Xuanhuang Indestructible Body," Hongmeng said with a laugh.
"A Xuanhuang Indestructible Body?" Even though it was what he had expected to hear, Hodan was still surprised.
"Exactly—a Xuanhuang Indestructible Body!" Hongmeng said. "Once the creation of the world succeeds, Xuanhuang Qi naturally forms and gathers inside the body, strengthening it further until it becomes the strongest kind of body: the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body."
"But doesn't that mean you can only attain a Xuanhuang Indestructible Body by creating a world? Creating a world means creating both matter and life, and Xuanhuang Qi is precisely the prerequisite for creating life!" Hongmeng continued. "The Earth, Water, Fire, and Wind Elements form the foundation of matter, while Fate, Death, Life, and Destruction are the keys to forming souls!"
"The secret of Xuanhuang Qi lies in creating life. Although a Hongmeng Body can control all energy, it still can't use energy as well as a Xuanhuang Indestructible Body. That's why the Four Rules stand above the elemental laws. Xuanhuang Qi is made up of the source power of the Four Rules."
"In fact, your wish came with a bit of a loophole. If you hadn't merged your Lightning Clone back into your main body, then even if you had refined four Sovereign Sparks tied to the Rules, you still wouldn't have been able to attain a Xuanhuang Indestructible Body! This world is all about balance. One extra won't do, and one fewer won't do either."
Hearing Hongmeng's explanation, Hodan
