Chapter 185 - Hong Meng

"Hahaha, second brother, I've been waiting for you."

The burly man walked up to Roy's side and patted him on the shoulder a few times, nearly shattering Roy's Hong Meng Body.

This guy is so strong!

The Primordial Space was filled with Hong Meng Qi. Everything else, whether time or space, would be dissolved by the Hong Meng Qi.

Roy had refined the Hong Meng Body, so within the Primordial Space, the Hong Meng Qi not only couldn't dissolve him but would instead be absorbed by him, strengthening his Hong Meng Body.

But now, Roy's Hong Meng Body, which had already reached Paragon, even nearing the point of completion, was almost shattered by Hong Meng as if it were a joke. How could Roy not be shocked?

Hong Meng, as expected of someone who had created the universe and cultivated the "Xuanhuang Indestructible Body," was formidable. Setting aside everything else, just the strength of his body was enough that a slight exertion would probably smash Roy into pieces.

Moreover, Roy also discovered that Hong Meng's ability to fly within the Primordial Space relied on a certain "creation" ability.

As long as Hong Meng had a thought, the Hong Meng Qi in the Primordial Space would evolve space-time under his will.

Hong Meng appeared to be walking in the Primordial Space, but in reality, he was walking within the space-time that had been evolved within the Primordial Space.

When Hong Meng came to Roy's side, Roy was naturally enveloped by the space-time evolved by Hong Meng, regaining his ability to move.

"May I ask who you are?"

Although Roy knew who this burly man in front of him was in his heart, he didn't dare to call out his name directly.

Especially in a situation with such a vast difference in strength.

"Hahaha, second brother, let's go to my place first, and I'll tell you slowly."

"Alright, elder brother, please lead the way."

Since Hong Meng referred to himself as an elder brother, Roy naturally went along with it, directly calling Hong Meng "big brother."

After all, he had already arrived in the Primordial Space, and becoming "Luomeng" was only natural. This "big brother" was just a matter of calling him sooner rather than later.

Following behind Hong Meng, most of Roy's attention was focused on the space-time around Hong Meng.

The Primordial Space was the origin of everything, infinitely small yet infinitely vast.

Time ceased to exist, and space did not survive.

Roy had discovered this the moment he entered the Primordial Space. In the Primordial Space, he was like someone who had entered spatial turbulence when he was at Paragon.

The willpower of Paragon could withstand the scouring of endless spatial turbulence, but it could not act within it.

Similarly, Roy's Hong Meng Body allowed him to withstand the erosion of Hong Meng Qi in the Primordial Space, but he also couldn't move freely within it.

However, Hong Meng could evolve space-time in the Primordial Space and move freely within it. The strength difference between them was like that between Paragon and the Sovereign – worlds apart.

Of course, Roy knew that Hong Meng had already completed creation and cultivated the "Xuanhuang Indestructible Body," making him the strongest in the Primordial Space.

Based on Hong Meng's way of moving, it seemed that to walk in the Primordial Space, one would have to have their name inscribed on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, obtain the method to create the universe from it, successfully create the universe, and reach the state where their thoughts manifested the world around them.

Only by reaching such a realm could one carve out space-time and walk within the Primordial Space.

That would be the true "Controller of Primordial Chaos."

Following behind Hong Meng, Roy didn't know how long he had walked. Perhaps it was an instant, or perhaps it was ten thousand years. Roy's perception of time felt like it was being severely torn apart.

However, this feeling was instantly cast aside by Roy.

Because they had reached their destination.

"Hahaha, second brother, we've arrived! This is my home!"

Following the direction Hong Meng indicated, Roy saw a patch of "land" in front of them that was extremely conspicuous amidst the endless Hong Meng Qi.

It was a patch of land dozens of meters wide. On this land, there was a thatched cottage, a cassia tree, and under the cassia tree, a stone table with two stone stools.

After stepping onto this piece of land, Roy finally recovered from the sense of temporal fragmentation.

Looking around, in the vast and boundless Primordial Space, it seemed as if only this patch of land was real space.

In this space, Roy lost the sense of "control" over everything that he had felt in the Magic Universe. All he could use was his own strength.

Moreover, the space here was incredibly stable, just like the continent beneath his feet. Roy doubted if he could even leave a small pit on this land with a full-powered kick.

"Second brother, have a seat quickly."

Hong Meng cheerfully beckoned Roy to sit down and personally poured him a cup of his favorite cassia tea.

"Elder brother, may I ask where this is? And why do you call me second brother?"

Roy took Hong Meng's tea with both hands, feigning confusion as he asked.

"This is the Primordial Space."

"As for why I call you second brother, it's naturally because you are the first life, besides me, to break through the limitations of the universe and enter the Primordial Space."

"The universe? The Primordial Space?"

"Hahahaha, I'll tell you slowly."

Perhaps it had been over a thousand epochs, and Hong Meng had been lonely for too long. Therefore, having a life form beside him now with whom he could converse greatly pleased Hong Meng, and he began to explain to Roy bit by bit.

"The Primordial Space is the space we are currently in."

Hong Meng pointed to the gray mist surrounding them and said to Roy, "This endless Hong Meng Qi is the most fundamental energy within the Primordial Space."

"Countless years ago, I was nurtured by the Primordial Space and became its sole life form."

"After a very, very long time, I grew bored. By chance, a flash of inspiration struck me, and I thought of using the primordial energies within the Primordial Space to create universes."

As he spoke, Hong Meng waved his hand, and a light screen appeared before the two of them.

Within this light screen, a giant sphere slowly materialized.

Around this massive sphere, four smaller spheres, ten times its size, were positioned diagonally below it, as if supporting the central giant sphere to prevent it from becoming unstable.

"Second brother, look, this is the universe I created."

"This largest one is the Main Universe."

"The four surrounding it are the Auxiliary Universes, only one-tenth the size of the Main Universe."

"Second brother, this Magic Universe is the universe you inhabit."

"So that's how it is..."

Roy looked at Hong Meng, then at the scene in the light screen before him, and nodded as if he finally understood.

"So, the universe we live in was actually created by you, big brother. No wonder I always felt something was off about it."

"Oh?"

Hearing Roy's words, Hong Meng became interested.

Although the four Auxiliary Universes were created to stabilize the Main Universe, their rules were also flawless, otherwise, they wouldn't have formed stable universes.

Now, his second brother claimed to have discovered something wrong with the universe.

"Come, second brother, tell me what's wrong, and I'll see if I can improve it."

"I'm afraid I'll have to disappoint you, big brother."

Roy shook his head and gave a wry smile. "I've lived in the Magic Universe for so many years, and I've found that the workings of this world are too clear."

"Whether it's the existence of the Planar Teleportation Array or the Plane War, the main purpose is to reduce the population in the Material Planes and God Planes, maintaining the balance of the planes so they don't collapse due to population factors."

"Mm."

Hong Meng nodded.

This was indeed his purpose in establishing the Planar Teleportation Array and the Plane War.

In the Auxiliary Universes, once a living being reached the Saint Realm, they gained infinite lifespan.

If these beings with infinite lifespans were not promptly sent out of the Material Planes, all the Material Planes would, just like the Aldrich Plane Roy encountered, collapse under the immense population pressure.

And only war was the most effective means to address the population issue.

In this regard, those Sovereign gods had done very well.

"After I became a Supreme God, I created the Earth Supreme God Realm. At that time, I also created Planar Teleportation Arrays that connected to the Star God Realm and various other planes."

"But after I created the Star God Realm, I ended up setting up the Planar Teleportation Arrays myself."

"Because I had a slight interaction with the Life Supreme God, I tried to find the other four Supreme Gods to ask if they knew anything about this."

"However, Supreme Gods are omnipresent. I could sense the existence of the other four Supreme Gods, but I couldn't sense any consciousness like mine from the Supreme Rule, as if they were truly just the Supreme Rule, different from me."

"Then, one day, I gained the ability to see through others' destinies, and I felt as if an invisible hand was manipulating this world."

"Hearing you say this, big brother, I now know that this was all your doing."

"What? Second brother, you can see through others' destinies?"

Upon hearing Roy's words, Hong Meng was not surprised that Roy knew someone was manipulating the workings of the Magic Universe.

What truly surprised Hong Meng was that Roy possessed the ability to see through the destinies of living beings!

One must know that even for Hong Meng himself, he only gained the ability to see through the destinies of living beings after creating the universe.

Of course, it might also be related to the fact that before Hong Meng's creation, there were no living beings in the Primordial Space for Hong Meng to see through their destinies.

But it was true that Hong Meng discovered his ability to see through the destinies of living beings only after he had created the world and living beings were born.

"Hahahaha, as expected of you, second brother."

"Second brother, let me tell you, although the Hong Meng Body you possess now is stronger than the God Kings and Heavenly Venerates of the Main Universe, you can actually advance further and cultivate the strongest 'Xuanhuang Indestructible Body'."

With that, Hong Meng beckoned, and a osmanthus leaf fell from the osmanthus tree above their heads.

Hong Meng handed the osmanthus leaf to Roy. "Here, here, second brother. I've condensed the method of creating universes within this leaf. You can understand how to create worlds by probing it with your Soul Power."
