Hongmeng Space.
In the center of endless Chaos energy, a cyan castle suddenly rose up.
This cyan castle, just like Hongmeng's thatched hut, was a dwelling that Luo Ao had created within the Hongmeng Space.
"Third brother, your universe is indeed very different from ours. I have a feeling that a life form surpassing the ' Exalted Celestial ' level will be born in your universe." Hongmeng sat in the castle hall, sipping a cup of fragrant tea, but his gaze remained fixed on the ' Luo Meng Universe '.
"Beyond the Exalted Celestial? Big brother, are you serious?" The other young man sitting next to him was also somewhat surprised.
The universe they created allows the strongest life form to survive to be the Exalted Celestial who governs the rules of 'time and space' within the universe! Anything stronger than that cannot be born. Moreover, even if it could appear, it would disrupt the stability of the universe itself.
"My forte lies in the Path of Creation, and in terms of deductive reasoning, I am definitely far superior to you, Second Brother. However, according to my previous deductions, without contact with the 'origin' of the universe, it should be impossible to create a life form that surpasses the Exalted Celestial. Moreover, even if such a life form were to be created, it would cause the universe itself to lose its stability."
"How did you resolve these two points, Second Brother?" Hongmeng had actually guessed about this as well, but he wasn't sure if he was right.
Meeting the curious gazes of Hongmeng and Linley, Luo Ao smiled slightly, "Under normal circumstances, the universe we have created is indeed limited to producing ' Exalted Celestial '."
"However, all these restrictions only apply within the 'universe.' Once they leave the 'universe' we've created, these restrictions will naturally disappear." Hearing Luo Ao's words, Linley was immediately shocked. "How is that possible? If they can break free from the shackles of the universe, wouldn't that mean they've directly 'transcended' and become Controller comparable to us?"
"It is separation, but it is not separation. Third Brother, do you mean to let those life forms create their own Subordinate Universe?" Hongmeng vaguely understood Luo Ao's thoughts.
" Subordinate Universe?" Linley was taken aback, then he suddenly understood.
"That's right. I regard this ' Luo Meng ' universe that I created as the oldest and original ' Main Universe '. As long as the life forms born in this universe reach the realm of 'surpassing the Exalted Celestial ', I will grant them authority, allowing them to take a portion of the origin to create Miniature Universe. These universes can be regarded as ' Subordinate Universe ' that exist in relation to the Main Universe."
" Subordinate Universe also have their own origins, but the ultimate source of these origins still comes from the Main Universe."
"Because they have their own Miniature Universe and a portion of the origin they control, their strength will far surpass that of the ' Exalted Celestial '!"
Upon hearing Luo Ao's ingenious idea, Hongmeng and Linley could only admire him.
Prior to this, above the Exalted Celestial were these two Controller.
In reality, the Exalted Celestial are beings from a completely different dimension than them.
Now, the gap between the Exalted Celestial and the Controller has finally been narrowed a little. Yes, only a little.
They are ' Hongmeng Lifeform ' in themselves, which is incomparable to any other life form in the universe, not to mention that they are the Controller of this Hongmeng Space.
Even if other new ' Hongmeng Lifeform ' continue to be born in the Hongmeng Space in the future, when they encounter these Controller, it is still like a commoner meeting an emperor, or an ordinary Deity Level meeting Sovereign, with an exaggeratedly disparate status!
"These life forms, becoming masters of a Subordinate Universe, indeed possess limitless potential... As for affecting the stability of the Main Universe, all you need to do, Third Brother, is grant the Origin Will of that Main Universe a little permission to restrict these powerful life forms, limiting them to only unleashing their ' Exalted Celestial Venerable Limit' strength within the Main Universe."
"In this way, your potential as a life form within the universe is realized, and the stability of the universe remains completely unaffected!"
The more Luo Ao observed Luo Ao's ' Hongmeng Luo Meng ' universe, the more amazed he became. He even had the idea of ' World Destruction ' the universe he had created and then creating a completely new universe.
"Big brother? You're going to destroy the universe you created? This... this will cause the deaths of countless lives!" Linley, a mortal, panicked immediately!
Even though he is now the high and mighty ' Hongmeng Controller ', he still cares a lot about the life and death of these 'low-dimensional life forms'.
After all, he was once one of them.
"Second brother, their lives were given to me. Now, I am simply taking them back. What's wrong with that?" Hongmeng, who was born alone, could not empathize with this situation even after observing the 'emotions' of life in the universe countless times.
"This..." Linley was speechless for a moment.
Seeing Linley's hesitant gaze, Luo Ao couldn't help but sigh inwardly, and then began to explain his own views.
"The universe has a birth, a beginning, and therefore, destruction and an end. In fact, the universe I created will also come to an end after a fixed ' Reincarnation Era.' At that time, all life within the Main Universe will die!"
"By escaping to that smaller, Subordinate Universe, they can survive for two Reincarnation Era. But once three Reincarnation Era over, and they no longer satisfy me, I will reclaim the origin of their Subordinate Universe... At that time, even if they are beings surpassing Exalted Celestial Venerables, they will still face death!"
Hearing Luo Ao's 'cruel' words, Linley was momentarily unable to understand.
" Linley, you only see the vibrant life within the Main Universe right now, but have you sensed the deathly stillness behind it?" Seeing Linley's puzzled look, Luo Ao spoke again.
"Lifeless?" Linley frowned, then recalled everything that had happened in the Main Universe.
After a short while, Linley fell silent.
" Luo Ao, I understand what you mean." Linley's previously unsteady gaze sharpened once more, becoming as piercing as a sword, as if capable of tearing everything apart!
"You're right. The universe before was indeed lifeless. This isn't just a matter of the potential for life..."
"Whether it's the Exalted Celestial and God King of the Main Universe, or the Sovereign of the Subordinate Universe... their unshakeable positions have been maintained for far too long, making it difficult for newcomers to challenge them."
Even if a few " Exalted Celestial " or " Sovereign " occasionally reshuffle the deck, it's merely a fleeting moment. Compared to the vastness of time the universe itself has experienced, it's indeed too rigid and inflexible!
Linley would never agree to the ' World Destruction of the world' if the sole purpose was to give birth to more promising life forms in the universe.
But the ' World Destruction ' is itself a new beginning.
If these lives now cannot perish, those who come after will never be able to climb to a high position.
Just like the Magic Subordinate Universe he was born into, if it weren't for a chance encounter that caused his soul to undergo a transformation that even his elder brother Hongmeng couldn't have predicted, he wouldn't have been able to transcend from that place either.
Even worse, if it weren't for the turmoil he caused that time, there wouldn't even have been a change in the 'position of the Sovereign '. Without a change in the 'position of the Sovereign ', even ' Luo Ao ' might not have been able to transcend!
After all, Luo Ao's Path of Transcendence also requires two ' Sovereign Spark ' of specific attributes and equal rank.
If it weren't for his actions, which caused the fall of a group of Sovereign and created opportunities for later generations, what good would it do for Luo Ao to reach the pinnacle of Dual-Element Paragon High-God? Could he, with the strength of Paragon High-God, defeat Sovereign and obtain Sovereign Spark?
Impossible!
It was because he left a glimmer of hope for those who came after him, and Luo Ao happened to seize that possibility, that we have the ' Luo Ao ' we know today, and the return of Grandpa Doehring.
"My universe is still relatively new, so it's not a big deal. But my elder brother's universe is already like a stagnant pool."
At this moment, Linley also understood what Luo Ao meant.
As the saying goes, "Emperors take turns sitting on the throne, next year it's my turn," a stagnant world may seem vibrant, but in reality, it's no different from the walking dead.
On the contrary, the universe's repeated destruction and rebirth are giving birth to more life, more possibilities, and more miracles!
"Perhaps, only in this way can this Hongmeng Space truly usher in a prosperous scene..." He and Luo Ao, their transcendence was too coincidental to Replication at all.
"Haha, second brother, don't worry. I will preserve the Magic Subordinate Universe that you and third brother created."
"Although you said that universe is also a stagnant pool, I think it has made a great contribution by being able to give birth to you and me. So I will grant it the right to exist eternally."
"As for how to continue managing this Subordinate Universe, you and your third brother can discuss it!"
Even disregarding the monk's feelings, one should consider the Buddha's feelings. Just considering that Magic Subordinate Universe was the birthplace of his second and third brothers, he couldn't possibly destroy that universe.
And just as he said, the fact that two Controller could emerge in succession suggests that this universe might be truly special, possessing some unknown characteristic.
Otherwise, why is it that in the Main Universe universe, which is even older and more prosperous than the Subordinate Universe universe, no one has ever transcended, while in this Subordinate Universe, life forms have been able to achieve transcendence one after another?
"By the way, Linley, don't rush to reopen your universe yet. Let's wait for three epochs first." Suddenly, as if remembering something, Luo Ao gave Linley a special reminder.
He remembered that Linley's universe only went through two multi-epochs before ' Qin Yu ' appeared.
His early appearance could be considered as taking away the position of the other party's 'third brother', but fortunately there are four positions for ' First-Level Hongmeng Controller '. When Qin Yu reappeared in the Hongmeng Space later, his status was still equal to the three of them, so this had little impact.
But if Qin Yu is destroyed because of what they just said, then the consequences would be dire.
"Don't worry, I wasn't in a rush to do that anyway. I plan to do more research and come up with a better solution." Hearing Linley say this, Luo Ao felt relieved.
"Becoming the Hongmeng Controller is indeed the greatest opportunity I have ever encountered. However, there is no need for the Myriad Worlds Pearl to remain here." Luo Ao already had the idea of letting the ' Myriad Worlds Pearl ' leave again.
Is it a return to another place where the true spirit resides, or a journey to a new, unknown world?
