In the current Magic Universe, all the Sovereigns knew that the present calm was merely the tranquility before the storm.
Linley and Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff would eventually have a battle.
Of course, even if a storm came, for most of the Sovereigns, it was nothing worth worrying about.
After all, above the two of them were Chief Sovereign of Death and Chief Sovereign Locke, two Lords who kept them in check.
No matter how bold Linley and Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff were, they would only dare to attack each other.
If they involved any other Sovereigns, they would certainly be killed by the two Chief Sovereigns for violating the agreements between Sovereigns or the rules of the universe.
However, the Sovereigns of the Fate and Light sides were having a much harder time.
The fact that Chief Sovereign of Light Augusta and Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff were the same person was originally something quite exciting.
Whether it was Chief Sovereign of Light or Chief Sovereign of Fate, both were powerful existences among the Chief Sovereigns.
Chief Sovereign of Light was the strongest Laws Chief Sovereign, while among the Edicts Chief Sovereigns, Chief Sovereign of Fate was also a notch stronger than Chief Sovereign of Destruction.
In everyone's eyes, Chief Sovereign of Fate was the strongest Edicts Chief Sovereign second only to Chief Sovereign of Death.
However, Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff had one enormous advantage.
That was, Orloff possessed the complete set of Overgod artifacts.
In other words, at present, within the Magic Universe, aside from Chief Sovereign Locke, even Chief Sovereign of Death could not injure Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff.
On the other side, Chief Sovereign Linley was not inferior to Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff by much either.
He was a soul mutator of the four Laws of Earth, Wind, Water, and Fire, and all four of his divine clones had ultimately refined Sovereign sparks and become Sovereigns.
Although all the Sovereign sparks he had refined were Lesser Sovereign sparks, when gathered together, they still caused Chief Sovereign Linley's strength to be not much weaker than Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff's.
The current difference between Chief Sovereign Linley and Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff was that Lord Orloff possessed the three-piece set of Overgod artifacts, while Chief Sovereign Linley only possessed an Overgod sword for attacking.
From this point of view, Chief Sovereign Linley was at a disadvantage.
However, the Sovereigns still remembered that Chief Sovereign Locke had once said that Chief Sovereign Linley had the hope of cultivating to his level.
What did this mean?
The Sovereigns all understood it very clearly.
Perhaps, in the not-too-distant future, Chief Sovereign Linley would become the second lifeform in the Magic Universe to independently cultivate to the realm of an Overgod.
At that time, it might be the moment Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff fell.
Of course, they could also pray that after Chief Sovereign Linley advanced to the realm of an Overgod, he would, like Chief Sovereign Locke, not raise the conflicts between Sovereigns to the level of an Overgod, and would thus spare Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff.
But how was that possible?
One had to know that Chief Sovereign of Light Augusta had not yet died.
Likewise, he had still not severed his control over the Angel Reincarnation Pool, allowing Linley's mother to regain her freedom.
Under such circumstances, once Chief Sovereign Linley possessed the ability to do so, how could he possibly spare Chief Sovereign of Light?
Forget Chief Sovereign of Light. Even Chief Sovereign of Fate was on Linley's list to eliminate.
This meant that Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff had decided to fight Chief Sovereign Linley to the death.
Either Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff would create a technique surpassing the fused innate divine ability of the Four Divine Beasts Sovereigns before Linley broke through to the realm of an Overgod, and use this technique to kill Linley.
Or Linley would successfully break through to the realm of an Overgod before Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff created an even stronger technique, and wipe out Chief Sovereign of Light Augusta and Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff...
When Locke's name appeared on the Hongmeng Golden Ranking, Locke had already become a first-level Hongmeng Controller.
Therefore, he could also see through the destinies of most lifeforms in the Magic Universe.
Of course, the destinies of people like Linley, whose "destiny was undetermined," were still beyond Locke's ability to see through.
However, Locke could still infer Linley's destiny from the destinies of other people.
Based on the destinies of the people related to Linley that Locke had pieced together, combined with Locke's familiarity with Linley's original future, he could still vaguely see Linley's future.
Of course, what Locke could see was Linley's future before he became a Hongmeng Being.
After Linley became a Hongmeng Being and left the Magic Universe, Locke could no longer see Linley's future clearly.
Locke could understand this as well.
The destinies of the countless lifeforms within the universe were originally intertwined with and influenced one another, ultimately forming what was "predetermined."
If Linley entered the Hongmeng Space, the only people who could currently have interactions with Linley would be Hongmeng and Locke.
There were no conflicts of interest between the three of them. In fact, they might even become companions and continue advancing toward higher dimensions. To a certain extent, they could be considered bound together.
Locke stopped paying attention to Linley and took a single step forward.
In the next instant, Locke's figure directly appeared within the Magic Universe.
Hongmeng glanced at the Magic Universe. Seeing that there was nothing unusual about it, he no longer paid it any attention.
To Hongmeng, the Magic Universe was merely one of the supporting points used to support the Main Universe.
If it were not for the fact that Locke, an existence who had successfully transcended the universe, had emerged from it, along with Linley, who was about to transcend, Hongmeng would not have paid much attention to the Magic Universe.
After all, in Hongmeng's view, the reason he wanted to open up universes was not like Locke, who wished to explore a higher realm of cultivation, but because he wanted to create lifeforms like himself.
Hongmeng had been lonely for far too long. He wanted friends who could stand before him and pour out their hearts to one another.
Now, this dream had already been realized.
Furthermore, Second Brother Locke had also given Hongmeng a staircase leading toward a higher level. Naturally, Hongmeng also wanted to see what the scenery at a higher level was like.
...
Netherworld, peak of the Nether Mountain.
Locke's original body entered the Magic Universe, but it did not cause any impact on the Magic Universe.
With Locke's current strength, he had already exceeded the Magic Universe's capacity.
If Locke were to release even the slightest trace of his aura, it would probably crush the Magic Universe.
However, at Locke's current realm, perfectly controlling everything about himself was not difficult.
Only those whose realm was lower than their cultivation level were unable to completely control everything about themselves.
Locke's own realm was several levels higher than his cultivation level, so naturally, he did not have this problem.
After stepping into the Chief Sovereign palace, Locke's water divine clone, which was sitting upon the divine throne in the Chief Sovereign palace, transformed into a streak of blue light and merged into Locke's body.
After Locke's original body sat upon the divine throne, he looked toward the incomplete Eight Trigrams Universe he had created in front of him.
His family members were all still cultivating within this incomplete universe.
Locke extended his hand and grasped this universe within his palm. Then, carrying this incomplete universe, he instantly appeared within the Eight Trigrams Universe he had created.
"Bang—"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
The universe in Locke's palm shattered. Loran, Veer, Grant, and Rena transformed into four shooting stars and flew toward the depths of the Eight Trigrams Universe.
