After experiencing the evolution of the Laws during the creation of a world, Linley had now found the point of compatibility between the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire.
And he had successfully fused a portion of them.
In the Magical Universe, comprehending Laws, fusing Laws, and fusing different Laws all had only two major bottlenecks.
The first major bottleneck was entering the threshold.
Once one successfully entered the threshold, one could continue advancing along that path.
Whether it was entering the threshold of comprehending a Law, entering the threshold of finding a point of compatibility when fusing Laws, or entering the threshold of finding a point of compatibility when fusing different Laws, one had to first enter the threshold before one could continue cultivating.
Talent was the most important thing in the Magical Universe.
A lifeform with powerful talent could enter the threshold of all the Profound Mysteries of one Law and possess the potential to become an "Highgod."
A lifeform with excellent talent could enter the threshold of more than two but fewer than six Profound Mysteries of one Law and possess the potential to become a God.
A lifeform with ordinary talent could only enter the threshold of one Profound Mystery of a Law and possess the potential to become a Demigod.
Those with even worse talent could not sense the Laws at all. Without becoming a Saint, they could not attain immortality!
After hundreds or thousands of years, they would all turn into a pile of yellow earth.
Even a level-nine warrior, the existence closest to the Saint realm, only had a lifespan of five hundred years.
The second major bottleneck was mastery.
If entering the threshold represented potential, then mastery represented "strength."
Once one mastered a single Profound Mystery of a Law, one could become a Demigod.
Mastering two to five Profound Mysteries of a Law was the realm of Gods.
Mastering all the Profound Mysteries of a Law was the pinnacle of all Deities, a Highgod!
The same was true for the mastery of different Laws.
Being able to completely master the fusion of the Profound Mysteries of one Law meant becoming a Paragon who stood at the peak of the Deity level!
At this moment, Linley's fusion of the four different Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire meant that Linley already possessed the potential to transcend the Magical Universe.
However, only after he completely mastered the fusion of the fundamental elemental Profound Mysteries of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire would he truly be able to transcend the Magical Universe, have his name recorded on the Hongmeng Golden Ranking, and become a Hongmeng Controller.
After Linley left, Locke once again closed his eyes and devoted his attention to analyzing the Profound Mysteries of the Primordial Yellow Energy.
…
"Where is this?"
The Chief Sovereign of Death, Lilia, opened her eyes, a trace of confusion flashing through them.
But very quickly, Lilia remembered.
This was the temporary universe that Locke had created.
According to what Locke had said, he had already transcended this universe and successfully created a universe in the Hongmeng Space that was more powerful than this universe.
In the Magical Universe, the Paragon level was already the end of cultivation.
But in the universe created by Locke, the Paragon level was merely a relatively high realm.
To enter the universe created by Locke and continue cultivating, they needed to have their souls completed, allowing everyone from Locke's faction who wanted to enter the new universe to possess an affinity for all the elements and Laws.
Only then could they continue to open up a new path of cultivation within Locke's universe and advance to higher realms.
"My soul has already been completely completed?"
The Chief Sovereign of Death, Lilia, spread out her soul power. Very quickly, she sensed the seven elemental forces and the four Edict forces within this small universe.
The Chief Sovereign of Death, Lilia, could feel that as long as she wished, she could absorb these elemental or Edict forces into her body at any time and condense magical power of the other systems.
She extended her hand, and the various elements were condensed by the Chief Sovereign of Death into clusters of light that floated above her palm.
The Chief Sovereign of Death could even sense that as long as she devoted herself to cultivating for a period of time, she could comprehend these elemental Laws and Edicts and form divine clones.
At the same time, compared to her former self, the Chief Sovereign of Death could feel that her soul was also transmitting a feeling of "completeness" to her.
Lilia shook her head. In the end, the Chief Sovereign of Death dispersed the elemental spheres of light in her palm.
She had a very good understanding of herself.
If not for Locke's assistance, she would not even have been able to reach the Paragon level.
Now that her soul was complete, the greatest benefit was that she could fuse different Laws and different types of divine power.
Including her other half, the Chief Sovereign of Death was a Deity of Death, Life, and Water. From here onward, her cultivation path could continue with the fusion of these three Laws.
The Chief Sovereign of Death felt that this might be her limit.
If she wasted more mental effort on the other Laws, she would probably hinder the more important aspects of her cultivation.
Being able to sense all the elements and Edicts only represented the potential to cultivate "Hongmeng Laws."
But potential was only potential.
Only when the Laws were mastered could potential be transformed into one's own strength.
"First, I'll cultivate the Law of Water and the Edict of Life to the Paragon level. Then, I'll try to complete the fusion of the Profound Mysteries of different Laws!"
The Chief Sovereign of Death already had her own plans for her future cultivation.
The difficulty of fusing the Profound Mysteries of different Laws was more than ten times greater than that of fusing the Profound Mysteries of a single Law.
If she rashly began fusing different Laws and their Profound Mysteries like this, even the Chief Sovereign of Death would find it difficult to determine how far she could go.
Confidence was a very important part of cultivation.
If one did not even have the confidence to become a Paragon, then one truly would have no chance of becoming a Paragon in this lifetime.
What the Chief Sovereign of Death needed to do now was cultivate her other two Laws and Edicts to the Paragon level, increase her confidence, and become certain that she could complete the cultivation of different Laws and walk this path all the way to its end!
…
"Very good. Lilia and the others' souls have already been completely restored."
"Now, I can take them to my universe at any time."
"But…"
The moment the souls of the Chief Sovereign of Death, Lilia, and the others were completed, Locke had already sensed it.
After all, this was a universe he had created himself. Naturally, everything within it was within Locke's perception.
As for Loran, Veer, Grant, Rena, and the others, because they carried Locke's bloodline, after Locke successfully created the universe, they were already able to complete their souls through their bloodline.
Only the Chief Sovereign of Death, Lilia, although she was Locke's wife and had the closest relationship with Locke, did not have a bloodline connection with him. Thus, the completion of the Chief Sovereign of Death's soul was the last.
Originally, according to Locke's plan, after Lilia and Loran and the others completed their souls, he would send Lilia and the others into his universe and have them begin cultivating there.
But plans could not keep up with changes.
At present, Locke's original body had yet to completely comprehend the mysteries of the Primordial Yellow Energy, while the Eight Trigrams Universe, because it lacked Locke's control, could only evolve on its own and had yet to give birth to intelligent life.
"Let's wait a little longer."
