"What happened?"
Chief Sovereign of Death was startled.
Feeling the disturbance of the universe, Chief Sovereign of Death withdrew from her cultivation and flew into the sky.
From the Laws of this broken universe, Chief Sovereign of Death seemed to sense a kind of "end of the world."
Looking around, everything in this world—from the sky and earth to the depths of the sea, from tangible elements to intangible Laws and Edicts—began to dissolve.
What Chief Sovereign of Death was most familiar with and strongest in was the Edict of Death.
However, at this moment, everything her Edict of Death touched was telling her that this universe was "dying."
This caused Chief Sovereign of Death's mind to tremble.
Could the world actually "die" as well?
Could even the Edict of Death itself die?
Then, could this be another, higher-level "Edict of Death"?
For the first time, Chief Sovereign of Death felt that death was such a beautiful sight.
Although Chief Sovereign of Death could sense that before this force that caused the world to "die," she had no ability to resist at all and might die instantly upon touching it,
she still became immersed in this magnificent scene of death.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh—"
By the time Chief Sovereign of Death emerged from her comprehension of the universe's death, she saw streaks of light breaking through the universe and flying toward the deeper reaches of the starry sky.
Immediately afterward, Chief Sovereign of Death felt a Mountaintle force envelop her.
Under this force, the "death" of the universe instantly moved far away from her.
Chief Sovereign of Death knew that this was Locke taking action.
Sure enough, in the next instant, Chief Sovereign of Death appeared beside Locke.
After looking around, she saw countless stars of light swirling around herself and Locke. Within the quiet starry sky of the universe, endless power of spacetime permeated the surroundings, making one feel awe merely by looking at it.
"Is this your universe, Locke?"
"Mm."
Locke nodded and controlled the incomplete universe in his palm, decomposing its origin and allowing it to merge into his own universe.
The two universes had both been created by Locke using the same method, and belonged to the same origin.
However, the Eight Trigrams Universe was a complete universe and had also absorbed Profound Yellow Energy.
The one in Locke's palm was merely a small incomplete universe casually created within the Magic Universe. The two could not be compared at all.
After Locke brought this incomplete miniature universe back to the Eight Trigrams Universe, the origin of the same source within it was directly absorbed by the Eight Trigrams Universe, resulting in the destruction of the incomplete Eight Trigrams Universe.
Of course, if Locke intervened, he could still preserve this incomplete universe.
However, if Locke wanted Chief Sovereign of Death, Locke, and the others to perfectly integrate into the Eight Trigrams Universe and become native lifeforms of the Eight Trigrams Universe, then he could not preserve this incomplete universe.
The souls of Chief Sovereign of Death and the others had been completed by the incomplete universe, so they could be considered lifeforms of the incomplete universe.
Only by allowing the Eight Trigrams Universe to absorb the origin of the incomplete universe and accept everything from the incomplete universe could Chief Sovereign of Death and the others, as the "stepchildren" of the incomplete universe, integrate into the Eight Trigrams Universe without any incompatibility between them.
"However, because it is a newly born universe, compared to the Magic Universe, it is a little too empty."
"Although life has appeared, it has yet to give birth to intelliMountaince."
"In other words, you are the first intelliMountaint lifeforms to appear in this universe."
Holding Chief Sovereign of Death's hand, Locke traveled through the universe with her.
The "Eight Trigrams Universe" created by Locke had three realms in total.
The Heavenly Realm, Netherworld, and Mortal Realm.
However, unlike the Hongmeng Main Universe, the three realms created by Locke were equal in strength.
There was no situation where the Heavenly Realm and Netherworld were stronger than the Mortal Realm.
The difference between the three realms was merely that each had a different emphasis in its Laws.
Heaven, Earth, Thunder, Water, Mountain, Wind, Lake, Li!
These were the most fundamental elements of the Eight Trigrams Universe created by Locke.
The Heavenly Realm used Heaven-Heaven to command Thunder, Wind, and Li, and controlled the "Heavenly Dao."
The Netherworld used Earth-Earth to command Water, Mountain, and Lake, and controlled the "Earthly Dao."
The Mortal Realm contained the six elements of Thunder, Water, Mountain, Wind, Lake, and Fire, and controlled the "Human Dao."
Within the Mortal Realm, lifeforms with outstanding talents could use Thunder, Wind, and Fire to cultivate the Dao of Heaven, or use Water, Mountain, and Lake to cultivate the Dao of Earth.
"How is it, Lilia?"
"Which place do you like?"
After accompanying Chief Sovereign of Death on a tour of the universe, Locke asked her.
This question caused Chief Sovereign of Death to sigh.
"Locke, have you already arranged my path from now on?"
This question left Locke silent.
Chief Sovereign of Death herself was an extremely proud person.
At the same time, however, she also possessed a certain inferiority complex.
In the Magic Universe, if Locke had never appeared, Chief Sovereign of Death would have been the only one among the Four Edicts Chief Sovereigns who was not a Paragon of the Edicts.
When everyone else was a Paragon, the one who was not a Paragon naturally had to bear the malice of the other Laws Chief Sovereigns and Sovereigns.
"She only became a lofty Sovereign because she was lucky enough to obtain a High Sovereign spark—"
Although these words were mocking remarks spoken by divine lifeforms who coveted the Sovereigns, they were not necessarily unrelated to how the other Sovereigns viewed Chief Sovereign of Death.
The other three Edicts Chief Sovereigns, even if they had only obtained Intermediate Sovereign sparks, would still have been the strongest Sovereigns by relying on their Paragon attainments and their own Sovereign artifact-level bodies.
Fortunately, with Locke's assistance, Chief Sovereign of Death ultimately comprehended the Edict of Death completely and became a Paragon, allowing her to truly become the universally acknowledged "strongest Sovereign."
After entering the universe created by Locke, all the children had been sent away by Locke, leaving only herself here. If Chief Sovereign of Death could not guess that Locke had made arrangements for her, then she would truly be an idiot.
"It doesn't really count as an arrangement. I'm just giving you something to fall back on and providing you with some protection."
Locke looked at Lilia and extended his right hand. A pearl of profound yellow color appeared in Locke's palm.
"This Profound Yellow Pearl is the strongest treasure in the Hongmeng Space."
"For now, I'll let it recognize you as its master."
After saying this, the Profound Yellow Pearl in Locke's palm transformed into a shadow of light and entered Chief Sovereign of Death's forehead, leaving behind a faint mark between her brows.
"Lilia, this Profound Yellow Pearl contains the most powerful Profound Yellow Energy in this universe."
"Once you activate it, the Profound Yellow Energy within the Profound Yellow Pearl will instantly strengthen your body and soul, allowing you to cultivate the strongest Profound Yellow Body and Profound Yellow Spirit."
"At that time, forget this universe. Even if you shatter this universe and enter the Hongmeng Space, no one will be able to injure you."
The Profound Yellow Body was already an existence beyond the standard in the Hongmeng Space. Only by leaving one's name on the Hongmeng Golden Ranking, becoming a Hongmeng Controller, and obtaining the method of creating universes bestowed by Hongmeng before successfully creating a universe could one obtain Profound Yellow Energy and cultivate a Profound Yellow Body.
However, even the Profound Yellow Energy obtained from a universe created by a first-level Hongmeng Controller was not as abundant as what Locke had left for Chief Sovereign of Death.
This meant that once Chief Sovereign of Death activated the Profound Yellow Pearl, the strength of the Profound Yellow Body and Profound Yellow Spirit she forged would both surpass Hongmeng, making her the strongest person in the Hongmeng Space.
Unless Hongmeng achieved a breakthrough in the Dao of creating universes, completed the creation of a perfect "Ten Directions" universe, and mastered the "Profound Yellow Dao," allowing him to cultivate an even stronger Profound Yellow Body that surpassed Chief Sovereign of Death,
otherwise, after refining this Profound Yellow Pearl, Chief Sovereign of Death would become the number one person in the Hongmeng Space.
This was not a joke.
Even Locke himself would be far from being Chief Sovereign of Death's opponent at that time.
