After making arrangements for Chief Sovereign of Death, Locke left the Eight Trigrams Universe, or it could also be called the "Luo Meng Universe," and entered the Hongmeng Space.
Within the Hongmeng Space, aside from the six lonely universes, there was only the small world Hongmeng had created.
At present, Hongmeng had entered his small residence to cultivate in seclusion because of the universe-creation method Locke had developed.
Perhaps, by the time Hongmeng emerged from seclusion, it would be because he had made further progress in the Profound Yellow Dao, or perhaps it would be because Linley had successfully transcended the Magic Universe.
Without disturbing Hongmeng, Locke casually waved his hand. Immediately, outside the small world Hongmeng had created, the Hongmeng Energy instantly evolved into the Eight Trigrams and opened up a small universe.
Its size was roughly the same as the small world Hongmeng had created.
However, unlike Hongmeng's continent-like small world, what Locke created was a "universe" without any elements whatsoever.
Since Locke wanted to create a source energy that belonged exclusively to himself, he naturally had to eliminate everything that might potentially influence him.
Taking a single step into it, Locke isolated all energy. Afterward, within the universe he had created, all elemental and Edict-related abilities became completely useless.
There were no elements in this universe.
Naturally, there were no so-called "Laws" or "Edicts."
Of course, the most fundamental "Laws of Spacetime" still existed.
After all, was what was called a "universe" not constructed from spacetime?
After eliminating the influence of all external factors, Locke floated in the very center of this universe in the most relaxed state possible, then completely immersed his mind into himself.
Since he had chosen to create a source Dao that belonged exclusively to himself, Locke naturally would not proceed like a headless fly without the slightest clue.
Although Locke had established himself through the Laws of Water, his later cultivation had advanced tremendously in the Edict of Fate, and after completing the "Heaven's Mandate" of creating the Fiend Castle, he had become a Paragon.
However, what had allowed Locke to complete the ultimate leap was still the artificial space-type supreme divine beast bloodline—Di Jiang bloodline—that he had created by collecting the bloodlines of nearly all the divine beasts in the Magic Universe possessing innate spatial divine abilities, extracting their innate bloodlines, and fusing them together.
If Locke wanted to create a new source Dao, naturally, he would use his own bloodline to create it.
A space-type supreme divine beast was itself the darling of the Laws of Space, possessing an extremely strong affinity with the Laws of Space.
What Locke wanted to do now was completely perfect his own bloodline, allowing his bloodline to advance once more, changing from the "darling of the Laws of Space" into the "Laws of Space themselves."
Even in a material plane, if the darling of an emperor wanted to become a new emperor, they would have to go through many twists and turns.
Perhaps they would wait until the emperor died and naturally succeed to the throne.
Or they could raise an army in rebellion, using overwhelming martial force to overthrow the emperor's rule and become the "emperor" themselves.
There was also another path: leave the country themselves, venture out alone, raise an army, and ultimately fight their way through every obstacle, establish their own country, and become the founding "emperor."
What Locke wanted to do now was the third option.
He wanted to separate himself from the Great Dao of Space, recruit an army belonging exclusively to himself, and create his own unique Great Dao of Spatial Origin.
If he succeeded, Locke would become the new master of the Great Dao of Space, and his future path would be boundless.
If he failed, Locke would be a rebel and traitor, and would be suppressed by the Great Dao of Space.
...
"Let's begin!"
Within the small universe, Locke began creating a space element belonging exclusively to himself.
Elements converge to form Laws, and Laws condense into the Great Dao!
This was Locke's understanding of the "Dao."
Within the universe, or within the dimensional spaces of the various levels that Locke understood, there existed all kinds of "Great Daos."
In Locke's view, there was only one most fundamental "Great Dao."
Space!
Within chaos, there was no existence of space, and therefore time had no meaning.
Only at a certain instant, when "space" was born within chaos, was time, which existed by relying on space, given meaning.
"Space element…"
Casting aside the spatial power within the universe he had created, Locke began creating his own "soldiers," that is, the "space element" belonging exclusively to himself.
In this regard, Locke had already made his preparations.
Now, he merely needed to turn his expectations into reality.
Locke's body was the space-type supreme divine beast Di Jiang.
His very existence was inherently compatible with the Laws of Space.
Therefore, using his own appearance as the blueprint, Locke began a major transformation of his body and bloodline.
His mind sank into his heart. Locke shaped every drop of blood that passed through his heart into the form of his true body.
Locke was a space-type supreme divine beast, and his very existence was incomparably compatible with space.
If he shaped his blood, bones, flesh, soul, and everything else into his own form, then completely matched them to himself according to profound trajectories, then according to Locke's judgment, when his essence, energy, and spirit were completely unified, he would give birth to a unique "Qi" belonging exclusively to himself.
At that point, with essence, energy, and spirit perfectly unified, they would give birth to the "space element" belonging exclusively to himself and produce a unique "source of space."
Afterward, Locke needed to strengthen his own "source of space" and allow it to ascend into the "Great Dao of Space."
...
An ordinary person's body was only about two meters tall, more than sixty centimeters wide, and less than twenty centimeters thick. How many drops of blood did they have?
More than thirty thousand!
And Locke's divine beast body was more than ten thousand meters in size.
The ratio between their volumes reached tens of billions or even a hundred billion times.
So how much blood did this entire body contain?
Furthermore, shaping every single drop of blood required Locke to devote himself completely. If he were even slightly careless and the shape he created was not completely identical to his true body, then that drop of blood would have a qualitative difference in its affinity with space, making it an unqualified drop of blood.
To prevent an unqualified drop of blood from mixing with the qualified blood and eventually becoming a flaw within himself, Locke would normally completely annihilate the unqualified blood.
With Locke's current physique, let alone a single drop of blood—even if half the blood in his entire body were annihilated in an instant, he could still consume his power and recover instantly.
...
Magic Universe.
"Linley, in the end, I won!"
Within the spatial turbulence, Chief Sovereign of Fate Orloff was surrounded by dazzling light. These rays of light formed profound trajectories within the spatial turbulence, constructing a complicated and powerful magic array.
Opposite him, Linley gripped the Life Overgod Sword with both hands, his expression solemn.
Outside the two of them, nearly all the Sovereigns had gathered to watch their battle, led by Chief Sovereign of Life, Wawaya, and Chief Sovereign of Destruction, Wodred.
