"Someone is coming in."
Hearing the footsteps approaching from outside, George quickly lay back down in his crib, closing his eyes to feign deep sleep.
Based on the powerful entities he had currently sensed in the sky and on extraterrestrial planets, he could determine that the Creator of this world was at least at the Multiverse level.
This premise assumed there was only one world and no other parallel worlds.
This was because the level of this world was obviously not low; it belonged to the type where a single world was exceptionally powerful, capable of reaching the Multiverse level without needing to create parallel worlds.
If there were parallel worlds, then the Creator's strength might exceed the Multiverse level.
The worlds he had experienced so far could be roughly divided into five categories.
The first category: The Creator is Single Universe level, and the created world is Single Universe level. The entire universe is not very large, and the powerhouses within it are not particularly strong.
For example, the Sorcerer's Apprentice world. The most powerful existences were merely Merlin and Morgana. The Creator was Single Universe level, and even they were killed when exploring the chaos.
The second category: The Creator is Multiverse level, and the created world is Multiverse level, but there is only one world. The powerhouses within can approach or even reach the Single Universe level.
For example, Middle-earth. Eru Ilúvatar has currently just reached the Multiverse level. He only created one world, though the timeline of this world is constantly looping.
However, whether it is the humans, elves, dwarves, orcs, or various magical creatures in that world, they are all far stronger than the creatures in the Sorcerer's Apprentice world.
Furthermore, there are powerful deities like the Valar and the Maiar.
In fact, the Elder Scrolls world he entered previously was similar to this one—a single world that was exceptionally powerful.
The Daedric Princes and Aedra of the Elder Scrolls world basically possessed standards equivalent to the Single Universe level.
The third category: The Creator is Multiverse level, and the created world is Single Universe level, but because multiple parallel worlds were created, the overall strength reaches the Multiverse level.
Worlds like Harry Potter, Fairy Tail, and Cardcaptor Sakura are all like this.
The fourth category: The Creator is far beyond the Multiverse level. Although the world is at the Single Universe level, the number of parallel worlds is vast.
The typical example is his main world, Marvel. The level of a single universe is already infinitely close to Multiverse, and there are countless such worlds in Marvel, constantly increasing indefinitely.
Therefore, the Marvel Creator belongs to the Omniverse level.
The fifth category: The Creator is far beyond the Multiverse level. The world's intensity exceeds the Single Universe level, reaching the Multiverse level, and it also possesses parallel worlds.
This is the Primordial World (Honghuang) he entered after leaving the Under One Person world and the Nezha world.
The Primordial World alone is not just Multiverse level; it even reaches the Super-Large Universe level. The powerhouses inside, like the Three Pure Ones (Saints), are estimated to be at the Super-Large Universe level.
And there is not just one such Primordial World, but many, though not as infinitely numerous as in the Marvel world.
Therefore, the current controller of the Primordial World, Hongjun, who has embodied the Heavenly Dao, should also be at the Omniverse level in his eyes.
As for the current world, his preliminary judgment placed it in the second category. That is, the entire world is singular, but it has reached the Multiverse level. The powerhouses within the world have reached the Single Universe level, and the Creator has reached the Multiverse level.
However, this is only a preliminary judgment. If this world also has parallel worlds, then it would have to be classified into the fifth category.
As for himself, he currently falls into the first category: his body is Single Universe level, and his internal world level is Single Universe level.
If he can merge his clones, he can advance to the third category.
If his clones and their worlds continue to grow before merging, eventually reaching the Multiverse level, then merging them would allow him to become the fifth category.
Therefore, in the early stages, he still needed to be cautious, exposing himself as little as possible to avoid detection by this world's Creator.
Once he learned this world's power system, he could then use it to modify his own magic, Daoist arts, and supernatural abilities.
After collecting all the resources in this world that were useful to him, he would carefully search for and probe this world's Creator.
If the Creator was benevolent, that would be best; if malicious, he would run away immediately.
In reality, even without using energy, with his physical body stacked to the post-Single Universe level, non-Single Universe level powerhouses could do nothing to him.
And he wasn't stupid. If he truly encountered an existence that threatened his safety, he would use energy when necessary.
He still had his own world, after all. As long as he dragged his opponent into his world to fight, the risk of exposure would be greatly reduced.
"My dear, rest assured, Lanevus is a trustworthy man. Our representatives have also gone to the Hornacis Mountain Range in West Vilas County to inspect it.
Mining operations are indeed underway there."
A woman wearing a black velvet hat, appearing to be in her thirties, pushed the door open carefully and walked in.
Following closely beside her was a man wearing a brown suit and glasses.
"Don't blame me for being cautious, Chris. That is one hundred and fifty pounds, after all. It is the majority of the savings we have left after buying this house.
If something goes wrong, our standard of living will drop significantly for the next few years.
Moreover, our baby has just been born, and there are many places where we need to spend money."
The bespectacled man looked at the sleeping George, his eyes filled with tenderness.
The woman named Chris also looked at George; the tenderness in her eyes was no less than that of the man.
"Jack, it is precisely because of this that I want to invest in Lanevus's steel company.
If it goes smoothly, we can make a huge profit and then move to the capital, Backlund, to live.
That way, our child can grow up in the Kingdom's most prosperous city, Backlund. He will have a brighter future than us."
"What you say makes sense."
The man wearing glasses was gradually swayed.
Seeing this, his wife continued to persuade him:
"My sister plans to let Meggos and Lanevus officially get engaged once this investment is successful. I heard from Meggos that Lanevus bought her an engagement ring today.
In this way, Lanevus will soon become our niece's husband. Would he scam us?
Besides, it's not just me this time. There's also Glacis and the others. The dozens of us together have invested over ten thousand pounds.
Even if I don't have enough experience, with so many people involved—some of whom are experienced investors—it's impossible for something to go wrong."
"It seems that this time we are guaranteed to make a profit without losing anything."
The husband was finally completely persuaded and agreed.
"Oh, my dear, you are so good. Let me reward you properly tonight..."
Seeing her husband agree, the wife excitedly pushed him down onto the bed.
The husband's expression immediately changed:
"Don't... we'll wake the child."
"It's fine, he's sleeping very soundly. I won't make a sound."
