You must know, a sun containing such immense energy was not that easy to create.
The Silmarils had absorbed the light of the Two Trees of Valinor and possessed a power akin to that of the sun. Using them as a foundation to build suns greatly saved time.
Therefore, in his small world, instead of one large sun outside the Earth, there were three small suns orbiting it.
Compared to individual advancement, the advancement of his small world was definitely more important.
In his view, a Single Universe-level powerhouse who possessed their own world, even if both were newly advanced, could probably take on ten Single Universe-level powerhouses who didn't have their own worlds.
Besides, even without the Silmarils, as long as he could continuously absorb energy, his individual advancement to the Single Universe level was just a matter of time anyway.
"Brother Eru, there's something I'd like to ask you about."
After returning to the great hall, George waved his hand to conjure a jar of fine wine and poured a cup for Ilúvatar.
Ilúvatar accepted the wine and drank it down in one gulp.
"Between us, why stand on ceremony? Just ask whatever you want."
"It's like this, Brother Eru. After I advance, I plan to adventure in the Chaos to see if I have a chance to find my original world. At the same time, I also want to see other worlds, learn more new things, and improve myself. But the Chaos is dangerous, and many Creators aren't as kind as you are, Brother. So..."
Ever since learning about the Chaos and Creators from Ilúvatar, he had been pondering a question.
That was, in the worlds of his other doppelgangers, had the Creators of those worlds discovered his anomaly, just as Ilúvatar had?
If they had discovered it but hadn't shown themselves, was it because they didn't care about his existence, or were they wary of the powerful entity who had sent his soul into their world?
If they hadn't discovered it, what was the reason?
And most importantly, if he were to activate new doppelgangers, was there any way to avoid being discovered?
He had no experience with these things, but Ilúvatar, as a Creator who had traveled the Chaos and entered many worlds, certainly had some understanding.
Ilúvatar wasn't surprised by George's inquiry. Having spent this time together, he knew George wasn't someone content with the status quo.
He wouldn't stop moving forward just because he had his own world.
Even though he had already spoken of the dangers within the Chaos, it couldn't stop George's determination to enter it.
In truth, he rather wanted George to stay by his side, so at least he'd have someone to talk to.
"Since you've already made your decision, then I'll tell you everything I know."
Ilúvatar did not hold back:
"First, not all worlds have Creators. Some worlds, although operating normally, have Creators who are already dead."
"Dead?"
George blinked.
Ilúvatar explained: "First scenario: The Creator placed their world in a fixed location, went traveling in the Chaos themselves, and ended up being killed by a powerful enemy. This kind belongs to those who don't think clearly. Remember, when traveling in the Chaos, you must bring your world with you. Otherwise, if you encounter a strong enemy, your strength will be greatly reduced without your world's support. Of course, if your strength is already top-tier in the Chaos, you naturally don't need to care. For example, that powerful entity named Hongjun. Even without a world, he travels unobstructed in the Chaos."
"Second scenario: The Creator was in their own world and was killed by the beings within their world. This situation is rare, but not nonexistent."
"Third scenario: After the Creator opened up their world, they themselves transformed into a part of the world to stabilize it. For example, as that powerful entity Hongjun mentioned, Pangu, the creator of his world, did exactly that."
"That's really true. According to the mythological novels, Pangu separated heaven and earth and should be the Creator of the Honghuang world. Hongjun later transformed into the Heavenly Dao. But with Hongjun's level of strength, he could probably create countless worlds with a wave of his hand. His strength surpasses ninety-nine percent of the Creators in the Chaos. The key is that this fellow is still wandering around in the Chaos, has seen much, and is terrifyingly knowledgeable."
Hearing Ilúvatar's analysis, George nodded in agreement.
"Secondly, not all Creators are as bored as I am, constantly staring at their own world. Some Creators might cultivate for a very, very long time before glancing at their world. As long as nothing major happens that could destroy the entire world, they won't pay attention. Moreover, some Creators don't bother setting a destiny cycle for their world at all; how the world develops is entirely up to its own whims."
Ilúvatar paused for a moment and continued:
"Finally, there's one more situation: some Creators themselves encounter problems in their cultivation, perhaps splitting into several personalities, and they fight amongst themselves within their own world."
"I see."
After Ilúvatar finished explaining, George had a clear picture in his mind.
Those worlds where the Creators were already dead or were traveling in the Chaos were the safest; he wouldn't be discovered no matter what he did there.
The same went for those Creators who were solely focused on cultivation; as long as he didn't blow up the world, it probably wouldn't be a big issue.
As for those Creators who had cultivation problems and were busy fighting among themselves, they would have even less energy to bother with him.
The troublesome ones were actually those like Ilúvatar, who liked to observe their own worlds in their spare time and even set a predetermined destiny for them.
In such cases, the moment he stuck his head out even slightly, he would easily attract attention, and his abnormality would be discovered.
If the Creator was benevolent, it would be fine. If they were malicious, then he would be in trouble.
"If you encounter a Creator of my type, it's actually not entirely impossible to avoid detection."
As if seeing through George's thoughts, Ilúvatar smiled. "First, after you enter their world, you must never use a power system from outside their world. Just like your Light Magic; I sensed it the very first time you used it. If you had only used your physical strength, I wouldn't have discovered you so easily. If, after you appeared, you had consistently studied and used the power system of my world, then even if I observed you, I would only think you were an anomaly. Although I set a predetermined path of destiny, it's not like every cycle is identical. All sorts of unexpected situations can occur. For me, as long as it doesn't affect the final outcome too much, I also find it quite interesting. Besides, it's not like I can stare at the world all the time."
"Just like that Loki."
George instantly understood.
That Loki, the God of Stories, wasn't he an unexpected situation? The Time Variance Authority used to frequently prune those characters who didn't follow the script.
"Then what if I encounter a powerful enemy that I can't defeat relying solely on physical strength?"
"If it's you right now, then there's no way. As long as you use power that doesn't belong to this world, you will definitely be discovered. But once your own world has finished advancing, then it's not a problem. Just pull your enemy into your own world. Whatever happens in your own world, the Creator won't be able to find out. However, you must be careful not to do this at the exact moment the Creator is staring at you. Under normal circumstances, if you haven't attracted the Creator's special attention, they won't be staring at you constantly."
Ilúvatar once again gave his answer.
