The great creations Meng Chuan had encountered seemed to share one problem: they restricted the living beings within their internal worlds, forbidding them from easily leaving and entering the Chaos Sea.
Granted, Meng Chuan had only encountered two great creations so far...
And one of them had not even been a genuine great creation. But a glimpse of one spot could reveal the whole leopard; it was easy to imagine that other great creations had similar restrictions to some degree.
This was only natural. If a Great Power created a world within the Chaos Sea, its inhabitants could leave on their own once their cultivation was high enough.
But if the inhabitants of a Great Power's Inner World wanted to transcend that world and enter the world outside, it would naturally depend on the Great Power's wishes.
The restrictions within these great creations worked on the same principle.
After all, they had only inner worlds.
Signing the Primordial Chaos Golden Ranking required a person to separate out a wisp of their soul and place it within the Ranking.
The importance of the soul went without saying. Placing a wisp in the Ranking brought immense power, but it also brought restrictions.
For a Supreme One—no, even for an Immortal King or True Immortal—losing a wisp of their soul was no great matter. They could easily restore it.
But when that lost wisp of soul fell into the hands of an existence stronger than them, it became a serious problem.
Putting a wisp of soul on the Primordial Chaos Golden Ranking brought the authority to manage the Primordial Chaos Space, greater power, and even the ability to be resurrected through the Ranking after an unexpected death, among other benefits.
But it also fixed the upper limit of Primordial Chaos and Linley's strength.
