One day, Roy, with his left hand resting behind his back, was browsing through the magic array books on the shelf in his training room.
Ever since Roy became the world itself, his cultivation had been taking place in the spatial turbulence.
Therefore, this training room had become more like a study, specifically for housing books that Roy found interesting.
When it came to sensing heaven and earth, Roy would readily admit he was second to none.
So, in theory, Roy could be considered the strongest magic array master in the Magic Universe.
However, sensing was one thing; figuring out how to arrange these senses into magic arrays with various special effects, turning theory into practice, was Roy's current research topic.
For Roy, who had become the world, magic arrays were the key to understanding and deciphering the powers of the world.
The magic arrays Shelley collected for him, along with the various research topics proposed by those under his command who studied magic arrays, always gave Roy new insights.
"Good!"
Upon seeing how the book applied the profound mysteries of heaven and earth, Roy couldn't help but slap his thigh and exclaim in approval.
He quickly checked the name of the person who proposed this hypothesis.
Breler!
"Oh, it's him?"
Roy recalled briefly and immediately knew who this person was.
He had previously come across the magic array explanations compiled by this person and thought highly of him, recognizing him as a rare talent with profound attainments in the way of magic arrays.
At the same time, Roy also remembered something from his memories.
This Breler seemed to be the last magic array master that Linley took in. The magic battle arrays he created could easily defeat even Augusta's Angel Battle Arrays, directly breaking the ten-win streak of the Light faction.
Furthermore, Breler's "Reincarnation Battle Array" even inspired Destiny Sovereign Off, leading him to develop an even stronger ultimate move—Transcendence of Reincarnation—on top of his fused divine abilities from the Four Divine Beasts!
Of course, the current Breler hadn't yet reached such a high level of attainment in magic arrays.
In this book, Breler proposed a concept:
If a magic array could replicate a scene from one location in another, could it achieve an effect similar to illusion, deceiving the eyes and spiritual sense of gods to conceal the original location?
After all, whether it was the eyes or the spiritual sense, what was seen or scanned ultimately involved perceiving heaven and earth, which then fed back that perception to the individual.
Magic arrays, by their very nature, were applications of the profound mysteries of heaven and earth. If this could truly be achieved, the illusion would be indistinguishable from reality.
Roy remembered that Breler later set up a phantom magic array for a good friend named Ganlesa, clearly indicating that his theory was entirely feasible.
"Shelley, this person named Breler, is he within our Sovereign Legion?"
"Yes, ever since you, Lord Roy, decided to collect books related to magic arrays, I also invited some individuals who research magic arrays into the Star Legion."
"On one hand, I want them to compile their research findings for you, Lord Roy, and on the other hand, I hope they can create stronger battle arrays for the people of the Star Legion."
"This young fellow named Breler is one of the more insightful apprentices researching magic arrays."
"The others merely set up magic arrays that guide the profound mysteries of heaven and earth based on their own senses. Only Breler first hypothesizes the effect he desires, and then he repeatedly researches the profound mysteries of heaven and earth to achieve that desired outcome."
"This young fellow is good."
Roy nodded. "I've read many of his hypotheses, and most of them are highly likely to be achievable."
"How about this, go ask Breler when he's free. I want to meet him."
"Understood."
...
Although Roy had said he would meet Breler whenever he was free, neither Shelley nor Breler intended to delay.
Upon learning that the Lord God wished to see him, Breler immediately set aside his research and followed Shelley, flying to the most mysterious palace in the Star Mist Sea—Star Island.
"Breler greets the Lord God."
Upon entering Roy's training room, Breler's eyes immediately fell upon Roy, who was seated at his desk.
In that instant, Breler was profoundly shaken.
Every person who specializes in magic arrays, regardless of their personal strength, possesses a far greater sensitivity to heaven and earth than many powerful individuals.
In Breler's perception, the Lord God before him seemed to be the entirety of heaven and earth.
In front of Lord Roy, Breler felt his own sensitivity to heaven and earth had become a hundred times clearer.
It was as if heaven and earth held no secrets from him anymore.
This... this is the Lord God?
For a moment, Breler was so overcome with emotion that tears welled up in his eyes, as if he had finally met his lifelong idol.
He respectfully tidied his attire and then knelt before Roy.
"Breler greets the Lord God."
"Rise, Breler."
"Thank you, Lord God."
Roy was also quite surprised upon meeting Breler.
As far as he knew, Breler had been recruited into the Star Sovereign Legion by Shelley a long time ago. Yet, at this moment, Roy could sense that Breler was still only a Demigod.
Of course, this low cultivation level had nothing to do with Breler's mastery of Magic Arrays.
In the following time, Roy and Breler exchanged the mysteries of the world and how to use Magic Arrays to harness these mysteries for their own use.
Generally, Breler would speak, and Roy would nod and listen, occasionally adding a few points.
And it was precisely these few points from Roy that Breler would usually find astonishing, praising him continuously.
"Breler, I believe your talent in Magic Arrays is peerless."
After such a long exchange, Roy had to admit that Breler's talent in Magic Arrays was absolutely the strongest he had ever seen.
Especially the way he studied Magic Arrays, it was incredibly "spiritual."
"I wish to take you as my Emissary, to specifically research Magic Arrays and the mysteries of the world for me. Are you willing to become my Emissary?"
"Thank you for your high regard, Lord Sovereign. Breler is willing."
As he said this, Breler hesitated for a moment before finally saying to Roy, "Lord Roy, please give Breler a moment."
After Roy nodded, Breler closed his eyes. A large amount of sweat poured from his body, as if he were enduring immense pain.
"Aaaahhhhhh..."
Suddenly, Breler let out a great roar, and thick black smoke began to billow from his body.
This black smoke, after emerging from Breler's body, did not dissipate. Instead, it began to recondense beside Breler into a figure clad in black robes.
At the same time, Breler's aura dropped a level, and the fluctuations of his soul also changed.
"Dark Breler, greetings, Lord Sovereign."
"Light Breler, greetings, Lord Sovereign."
Breler's transformation stunned Shelley, who was behind Roy, causing her to cover her mouth to avoid disturbing Lord Roy.
Roy also hadn't expected that Breler would actually demonstrate the Bula Clan's innate secret technique right in front of him.
"Breler, what is this?"
"As the Lord Sovereign sees, I am a special race within this world, called the Bula Clan."
The white-robed Breler smiled gently at Roy as he spoke.
After unleashing the clone secret technique, the white-robed Breler gave Roy a feeling somewhat similar to Off.
Both were gentle, polite, and filled with curiosity about the unknown.
As for Dark Breler, it embodied killing intent, desire, and arrogance.
"Our race can separate emotions, desires, and even personalities that we no longer need from ourselves, giving birth to a new personality clone."
"Lord Sovereign, as you can see, because even our emotions and personalities are different, our soul fluctuations are also inconsistent."
"Lord Sovereign has high hopes for me, and I naturally will not disappoint."
"Therefore, I have retained the personality, emotions, and desires that are beneficial for my research into Magic Arrays, and condensed all other irrelevant emotions into Dark Breler."
"This..."
Hearing Breler's words, Roy frowned slightly.
As far as Roy knew, Breler had become Linley's Sovereign's Emissary over a thousand yanas ago, and had only begun to split himself tens of millions of years before that.
Taking so long to use the clone secret technique clearly indicated that Breler had his own plans, or rather, the Bula Clan's clone secret technique had mysteries that Roy was unaware of.
Roy immediately asked Breler, "Breler, tell me first, is using the clone secret technique now harmful to you?"
"This..."
Light Breler and Dark Breler exchanged a look. Finally, it was Dark Breler who snorted coldly and bowed to Roy, "Lord Sovereign, in truth, using the clone secret technique causes no harm to either of us."
"It's just that we previously met a senior from the Bula Clan who told us that when one separates all their emotions, the absence of interference from other emotions leads to a period of extremely clear cultivation and comprehension of the Profound Mysteries of Laws."
"That senior told us that when our own cultivation reaches a bottleneck, it would be best to use the clone secret technique after we've hit a bottleneck in integrating the Profound Mysteries of Laws."
"This way, it's possible we might even be able to attempt Paragon."
As he said this, Dark Breler glanced disdainfully at Light Breler, "However, with this fellow's personality, I'm afraid we'll never reach that realm in this lifetime."
Hearing Dark Breler's words, Roy nodded slightly.
Indeed, the person who understands oneself best is oneself.
Breler had remained a Demigod for nearly thirty yanas, and Roy truly admired him.
It was evident that besides focusing on researching Magic Arrays, Breler hadn't cultivated properly at all.
No wonder it took him over a thousand yanas to become a Seven-star Demon and use the clone secret technique.
But unfortunately, in the end, Breler still couldn't achieve Paragon.
Thinking of the person Breler had mentioned earlier, Roy had a guess.
The only one in the Bula Clan who had achieved Paragon was Destiny Sovereign Off.
However, whether that person was Off or not, it had nothing to do with Roy.
When Linley took Breler as his Sovereign's Emissary back then, he had indeed encountered Off's obstruction. But given that Off didn't personally show up, it seemed he didn't place much importance on Breler.
At most, it was merely to protect his Bula Clan identity from being revealed.
"Breler, since you have become my Sovereign's Emissary, according to the rules, you may receive a Lord God Artifact from me."
"A Lord God Artifact?"
Light Breler and Dark Breler exchanged glances. Dark Breler was the first to bow to Roy and say, "Lord Sovereign, I wish to receive an offensive Lord God Artifact."
"Oh? You aren't going to discuss it?"
Seeing Dark Breler speak up directly, Roy asked curiously.
"There's no need to discuss it."
Dark Breler cast a disdainful sideways glance at Light Breler. "This fellow only wants to stay by the Lord Sovereign's side to study Magic Arrays and has no intention of venturing out for trials."
"I am different. I have aspirations to reach the heavens and an invincible heart. I am determined to venture out and forge my own path!"
"Alright."
Seeing that Light Breler merely smiled and didn't object, Roy let them be.
"You are a Dark Demigod. A Dark-aligned Lord God Artifact will provide you with the greatest amplification."
"I don't have a Dark-aligned Lord God Artifact on me right now. You'll have to bear with it for a few years. Stay in the Star Legion for now to improve yourself. When I have time, I will go to the Dark God Plane and exchange a Dark-aligned offensive Lord God Artifact for you."
"Yes, Lord Sovereign."
After Dark Breler withdrew, Light Breler bowed to Roy. "Thank you, Lord Sovereign."
Unlike Dark Breler, Light Breler was much more rational.
Which ordinary Sovereign would bother with whether the Lord God Artifact bestowed upon you was compatible with you?
Moreover, the Lord Sovereign not bestowing the Lord God Artifact upon Dark Breler now was also a form of protection for him.
Given his impulsive nature, as soon as he obtained a Lord God Artifact, wouldn't he immediately rush out to forge a future through life-and-death struggles?
But at this moment, no matter how ambitious Dark Breler was, he was still just a Dark Demigod.
Let alone venturing out, he couldn't even leave Guoluo Island in the Star Mist Sea.
The Lord Sovereign said he would go and exchange a Dark-aligned Lord God Artifact for him. Even if he wanted to give him the most compatible Lord God Artifact, it was to allow Dark Breler to cultivate with peace of mind for a period of time.
With Breler focusing solely on cultivation, he believed he would soon break through to High-level God. At that time, he would have some confidence in venturing out with a Lord God Artifact.
"What's there to thank? You are both my emissaries, and I will naturally make plans for you."
Since he had accepted Breler as his emissary, Roy naturally wouldn't want them to perish prematurely.
Roy believed that Breler following him would be several times better than following Linley more than a thousand epochs later.
"Oh right, Breler, I noticed your divine body's strength was quite good before. I have some information here that you can refer to."
"Perhaps, by setting up Magic Arrays to strengthen your divine body, you might be able to elevate your divine body's strength to rival a Lord God Artifact, or even truly reach the level of a Lord God Artifact."
