"Hongmeng Energy…"
Linley murmured softly.
"That's right, Hongmeng Energy."
"As long as you successfully fuse and produce Hongmeng Energy, you will be able to cultivate a Hongmeng Body, become a Hongmeng Lifeform, and transcend the current universe."
Locke extended his right hand and lightly swiped at the space before him.
Immediately, a spatial rift appeared between Locke and Linley.
The moment this spatial rift appeared, Linley felt his body, soul, and even his consciousness frantically warning him.
It was as though the spatial rift before him was a terrifying existence capable of threatening his life.
Very soon, Linley saw exactly what it was that could threaten him.
Beyond the spatial rift that Chief Sovereign Locke had torn open was not the multicolored spatial turbulence Linley was familiar with, but countless gray, hazy mists.
This startled Linley.
However, after his thoughts turned, Linley immediately understood that the spatial rift Chief Sovereign Locke had torn open was not a spatial rift within the universe, but a spatial rift outside the universe!
The mists beyond the spatial rift surged, flowing through the spatial rift Locke had opened and into the Magical Universe.
Linley could see that when these mists entered the Magical Universe through the spatial rift, everything surrounding the Magical Universe, including elements, Laws, Edicts, space, time, and everything else, was being dissolved by them.
Linley felt that if he were touched by these gray mists, he would fare no better than these elements, Laws, and Edicts.
"This, this is Hongmeng energy?"
Linley's face turned pale, and he could not help but begin to doubt his own cultivation.
Could such a thing really be something he could cultivate?
No, was this something that a lifeform could cultivate at all?
Just as Linley was filled with shock and doubt, this energy, which in Linley's eyes was powerful enough to destroy the entire Magical Universe, did not continue spreading outward and destroying its surroundings.
Instead, it condensed together, forming a gray sphere the size of a fist that slowly spun in Chief Sovereign Locke's palm.
Under Locke's control, the power of the Hongmeng energy was completely restrained.
If Linley had not personally witnessed space and even time being dissolved by the Hongmeng energy earlier, he probably would not have believed that the thing currently in Chief Sovereign Locke's palm was a terrifying Energy capable of destroying a universe.
"Watch carefully, Linley."
"I will only demonstrate this once."
The reason Locke was allowing Linley to come into contact with Hongmeng energy now was also because he had considered the current situation in the Magical Universe.
Whether Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff could still create a technique like "Transcending Reincarnation" was still unknown.
Even if Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff really did create "Transcending Reincarnation," Linley had not even begun fusing the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.
Even if he witnessed Fate Chief Sovereign Orloff's "Transcending Reincarnation," it would be impossible for him to instantly complete the process of finding a point of compatibility between the four Laws and then completely fusing them.
Therefore, Locke wanted to make Linley at least find the point of compatibility for the fusion of the four Laws before that happened.
Linley was delighted.
Although he did not know what Chief Sovereign Locke intended to do, Linley knew that this was definitely an enormous opportunity for him.
Immediately, Linley calmed his mind and focused all of his attention on the gray mist in Chief Sovereign Locke's hand.
"Linley, use your soul Energy!"
"What I am about to do cannot be deeply comprehended through your eyes alone."
"Don't worry. With my protection, your soul Energy will not suffer the slightest harm."
"Understood, Lord Locke."
After receiving Chief Sovereign Locke's assurance, Linley confidently extended his soul Energy toward the gray sphere in Chief Sovereign Locke's hand.
Seeing that Linley was ready, Locke gave a low shout.
"Open!"
Following Locke's shout, an arc of light appeared within the sphere.
"Rumble—"
Amidst the intense rumbling, Linley's soul Energy seemed to merge with the gray mists before being severed by this arc of light.
Then, the severed Hongmeng energy was divided into two portions. The clear portion rose upward to become the heavens, while the turbid portion sank downward to become the earth.
"Chief Sovereign Locke is… creating a world?"
Linley was shocked.
He knew that Chief Sovereign Locke's opportunity for him was enormous, but he had never imagined it would be this enormous.
This was creating a world!
Although after becoming a Sovereign, Linley had also created a divine plane with the assistance of his Sovereign spark, how could creating a plane possibly compare to "creating a world"?
Thus, Linley's soul Energy began to merge with this world.
The Hongmeng energy transformed into the four elemental forces of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire. The Four Symbols evolved into space, and once space appeared, time naturally came into existence alongside it.
This was a world that Locke had created within the Magical Universe, so naturally, the Edicts and Laws within it were also extremely similar to those of the Magical Universe.
Then, the heavens were divided into yin and yang, while the earth was divided into the sun and moon. The Energy of light and the Energy of darkness appeared as the sun and moon were nurtured.
Finally, the Energy of thunder, as the Energy of punishment, was also born amid a series of rumbles.
As Locke accelerated the flow of time within the world he had created in his palm, the world began to produce its first batch of lifeforms.
Then, the Edicts of Life, Death, Fate, and Destruction appeared one after another.
At this point, the mysteries of the Seven Laws and Four Edicts within this world were all comprehended by Linley.
Linley suspected that if he were within the Magical Universe and possessed an affinity for the other three elemental systems and the Four Edicts, he could probably immediately produce seven divine clones!
Of course, Linley also knew what was most important to him right now.
Thus, he did not spend much time comprehending the other elemental Laws and Edicts. Even the Law of Space, which he had always been longing to comprehend, was temporarily set aside by Linley as he immersed himself in the fusion of the four elemental forces of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.
After a long time, the evolution of this world was complete. The Laws receded, and only then did Linley withdraw his soul Energy from the world and open his eyes.
"So this is the mystery of the Laws…"
A hint of joy flashed through Linley's eyes.
After comprehending the evolution of the Laws during the creation of the world, Linley gained a much deeper understanding of the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.
The four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire had also successfully found their point of compatibility.
"Thank you, Lord Locke."
Linley bowed to Locke in gratitude.
This time, when he had come to the Netherworld Mountain in the Netherworld, Linley had never expected to obtain such an enormous harvest.
The first was that he had learned his future cultivation path from Chief Sovereign Locke.
Given the realm Chief Sovereign Locke had reached, Linley naturally had no doubts about whether there was anything wrong with Chief Sovereign Locke's guidance.
Furthermore, Linley had previously merged his soul Energy into the world created by Chief Sovereign Locke and experienced its evolution together with the world, comprehending the way Hongmeng energy evolved into Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.
