" Luo Ao, thank you, thank you for creating this Path of Life!" At this moment, Linley, the young man with brown and black hair, seemed to have returned to his youthful days countless years ago.

"No need to thank me. The universe I created earlier is itself a symbol of the Life Origin. And strictly speaking, it's because the seeds of the Life Origin already exist within this Hongmeng Space that I couldn't have created the complete ' Path of Life ' so quickly." Luo Ao also had a slight smile on his face at this moment.

Within the Hongmeng Space, there are indeed no perfect universal Laws, but there are countless ' Dao Seed '.

Normally, these seeds would germinate and sprout on their own. But due to special circumstances, we can only rely on these few to 'ripen' and 'nurture' them now.

Up to the time he had just created the ' Path of Life ', there were only three truly complete paths in the entire Hongmeng Space.

As for the first two, they are Hongmeng's ' Path of Creation ' and Linley's ' Path of Destruction '. Other 'Ways' also exist, but none of them have been fully developed yet.

"Anyway, I have to thank you." Linley bowed to Luo Ao, then quickly headed towards the Subordinate Universe where he was born.

"It seems that my second brother's long-standing knot in his heart can finally be completely untied." Hongmeng had obviously realized what had just happened.

"Before this, life forms that were completely destroyed in the universe could not be saved, but after you, Third Brother, nurtured this complete ' Path of Life,' things are very different." In the past, life in the universe had only two paths to be resurrected.

The first principle is the cycle of reincarnation within the universe.

Both he and Linley experience reincarnation in their Main Universe. Even their Subordinate Universe have soul transfer systems similar to the ' Undead Realm ', which can allow the dead to be 'reborn' or 'reincarnated'.

However, this method has a major drawback: those lives whose souls have been scattered cannot be brought back. Neither 'reincarnation' nor ' the Undead Realm ' can guide those whose souls have been scattered.

The second path, as for the second path, is to drive the Path of Creation of the Hongmeng Space to 'recreate' this life.

"I was born with the complete Path of Creation within the Hongmeng Space. Therefore, any Hongmeng Controller possesses the authority to create, making it effortless to directly create a completely new existence identical to the original life, even down to its memories."

"However, even if the new life I create is very similar to the original life, it can only be considered a Replication. It is no longer the original life... But now, with the ' Path of Life ' perfected by you, Third Brother, everything is different!" Hongmeng sighed inwardly as he said this.

"The wind leaves its sound, the wild goose leaves its trace; the so-called dissipation of the soul is merely the return of fragments of the true spirit to the Universe Origin, transforming once again into the power of origin. But everything that has ever existed will ultimately leave its own unique mark." Luo Ao understood that once he perfected the ' Path of Life ' for the Hongmeng Space, everything was indeed different!

Just like in the myth, "God said, 'Let there be light,' and there was light in the world."

The moment the ' Path of Life ' within the Hongmeng Space was perfected, all life in the universe, and even life within the Hongmeng Space, gained one more thing— Life Imprint!

Even if a life has completely vanished and its true spirit has returned to its origin, traces of its existence— Life Imprint —can still be found. Based on this, a suitable soul and body can be reborn for that life, and its original consciousness and memories can be restored.

Such 'resurrection' is no longer ' Replication ' or creating new life, but a true 'restoration' or 'resurrection'.

"With the emergence of your Path of Life, Third Brother, even my and Second Brother's universes have been affected. Indeed, the most fundamental element of this universe is life." As Hongmeng Controller, they have the direct authority to govern Laws present in the Hongmeng Space memory.

The reason they couldn't do it before was because such Laws didn't exist within the Hongmeng Space. Now that this new Laws exists, naturally he and Linley can also achieve this.

Magic Universe.

This is Lin Meng, no, this is the birthplace of ' Linley Baruch'.

"Boss, are you serious? Grandpa Doehring can come back to life!" Beside the young man with long brown hair was a slender, quirky, and handsome boy wearing a straw hat.

"It's true, Bebe!" Linley's eyes welled up with tears of excitement, as if he had returned to that winter, to the days of arduous training in the Mountain Range of Magical Beasts... During that time, he, Bebe, and Grandpa Doehring were all there.

"Really? Wouldn't it be better if I transformed into my original form? Grandpa Doehring has never seen me like this before." The handsome young man was also very happy, and then he actually transformed into a black mouse that looked just like the ' Shadowmouse ' and appeared on his 'boss's' shoulder.

" Bebe..." Linley smiled, and in an instant, he was back in his hometown— the Yulan Continent!

" Yulan, ten thousand years." With a single thought, time easily returned to the year 10,000 of the Yulan Calendar.

This period of time was a memory he would never forget, known as the ' Day of Destruction '!

"Grandpa Doehring, it was shortly after the Destruction Day..." Linley chose the moment before Grandpa Doehring 'passed away' and extracted the Life Imprint.

In fact, he could have chosen a time much earlier, such as Destruction Day... or when they first met... or even when Grandpa Doehring was young. In short, as long as it was a point in time when Grandpa Doehring was still alive, he could be 'resurrected' and regain all his memories and consciousness from his previous life.

However, perhaps out of his own selfish motives, he still chose this moment.

He had regretted countless times before that he couldn't turn back time. Now, he had done it!

"Buzz--"

On the Yulan Continent, a realm inaccessible to mortals and even Deity Level powerhouses, the familiar soul of an old man with white hair and beard has reappeared in the world!

"You are... Linley!" Although their life levels were completely different, the old man still felt that familiar soul aura deep in his bones.

"Grandpa Doehring, we meet again." At this moment, Linley felt more at peace than ever before; there was no trace of hostility left in his heart.

Because all the bad things are in the past!

Everything he lost has been regained!

"And me too, Grandpa Doehring!" The little ' Shadowmouse ' perched on Linley's shoulder started chattering, darting around and jumping about.

"Little rascal, Bebe..."

At this moment, the three of them, bathed in sunlight, formed a serene and picturesque scene.

"Seeing my second brother fulfill his wish makes me happy for him too." At this moment, Hongmeng and Luo Ao had both 'seen' this touching scene, but neither of them disturbed it.

"It's just a coincidence, and it's fate between us." If it weren't for his other wisp of true spirit having just discerned some of the cosmic mysteries within another great world, and using the wonders of the ' Hongmeng Space ' and the power of the ' Hongmeng Controller ' to recreate it, he probably wouldn't have been able to cultivate a complete path so easily and quickly.

And coincidentally, this path is also the ' Path of Life '.

"Speaking of which, how did Linley manage to create the ' Path of Destruction ' so quickly? In my perception, creating a complete path should be incredibly difficult!" The Hongmeng Controller does indeed possess countless supernatural powers and authority, but there are some things that can only be gradually completed by oneself.

However, it is obviously extremely difficult to develop a complete ' Hongmeng Laws '.

If he hadn't previously retrieved the memories of another wisp of true spirit, even if he had successfully established his own universe, he wouldn't have been able to cultivate a complete Dao, and it might have taken countless epochs to achieve it!

Linley, on the other hand, has only been Controller for a short time, yet he has already developed a complete ' Path of Destruction '. There must be a reason for this.

"Haha, speaking of which, it's all thanks to my second brother's own miraculous encounters. You must have noticed the sharp, soaring sword intent emanating from Linley, right? This sword intent didn't appear after he cultivated the complete ' Path of Destruction,' but rather it was already there when he first achieved the ' Hongmeng Body '!"

"You and I, our current physical bodies are both Xuanhuang Indestructible Body, and our souls are also Xuanhuang Soul. But Second Brother is different; his soul always maintains that 'sword shape,' which can be called the ' Destruction Sword Soul.'"

"Because of the ' Destruction Sword Soul,' and because we were able to perfect the Hongmeng Laws more quickly when we established the universe... therefore, my second brother, like you, was able to formally establish the second Laws within the Hongmeng Space almost immediately after the universe was first formed."

Upon hearing Hongmeng's explanation, Luo Ao immediately understood.

"Speaking of which, when my second brother was young, he was recognized by others as having the talent of the ' Path of Destruction ' several times. However, this talent only began to show after he came to the Hongmeng Space." Hearing Hongmeng mention this interesting anecdote, Luo Ao immediately remembered it and couldn't help but smile.

The Path of Destruction within the Subordinate Universe and the Path of Destruction within the Hongmeng Space are completely incomparable!

However, in a sense, those people weren't wrong back then.
