A Wizard’s Secret

More and more Controllers and Free Beings entered the Central Region Major Cosmos to seek refuge now that the Void Beasts had run rampant.

 Moreover, there was also some very bad news about three Major Cosmos Absolute Beings who moved against a Void Beast. Unfortunately, although they managed to wound it, they failed to drive it back to the Void Sea. On the contrary, the Void Beast grew enraged and devoured several Latitude Regions in succession.

 Of course, a few Latitude Regions were not considered much. Even if it were nine Void Beasts, it would take countless latitude years before they could finish devouring all Latitude Regions.

 However, even if there were many Latitude Regions, the Void Beasts could not be allowed to devour them all. The Latitude Regions were the foundation of Free Beings and Controllers. Without them, they would lose the meaning of their existence, let alone qualitative evolutions.

 As a result, since the siege failed, the Major Cosmos Absolute Beings gave up and stopped attacking. All they could do was keep the Free Beings and Controllers away from the Void Beasts as much as possible so as to avoid calamity.

 The ordinary Free Beings and Controllers were panicked and did not seem to have any hope, but some powerful Free Beings and Controllers seemed to know what they were waiting for.

 They were waiting for news. News that could determine their fate.

 “Hum.”

 Suddenly, the entire Central Region Major Cosmos shook. Everyone could feel that the huge Central Region Major Cosmos had begun to converge and was slowly being taken into Sir Tyron’s body.

 No matter how large the Central Region Major Cosmos was, it was still Tyron’s world that could be taken into his body at any time.

 “What’s going on? Why is Sir Tyron keeping the Central Region Major Cosmos?”

 Everyone looked at each other, not knowing what was going on. If the Central Region Major Cosmos was outside, it was at least open for anyone to enter. However, if Tyron kept it into his body, it would be sealed, and people would only be able to enter the Central Region Major Cosmos with Tyron’s permission.

 In other words, from now on, the Central Region Major Cosmos was no longer open to the public. If there were any Free Beings or Controllers in the future, they would not be able to enter the Central Region Major Cosmos.

 At that time, although many people were panic-stricken, there were also some who rejoiced that they were lucky enough to have entered the Central Region Major Cosmos.

 …

 Merlin was in a secluded secret chamber. He had already integrated the Latitude Cosmos rewarded from the mission. A mere Latitude Cosmos naturally did not amount to anything.

 Presently, all the Free Beings and Controllers were in a panic. Due to the appearance of the Void Beasts, the Free Beings and Controllers spanning across countless Latitude Cosmoses were facing a life-and-death crisis, so they did not dare to wander about anymore. This had the greatest impact on new Controllers like Merlin.

 

Free Beings could slowly accumulate and grow stronger over time, but they had to find Latitude Cosmoses with broken wills in order to merge the Latitude Cosmos and strengthen their own world.

 However, with the threat of the Void Beasts now, who would dare go out willingly? Even Merlin, who was barely a Minor Cosmos Absolute Being now, did not dare go out. If he went out and encountered a Void Beast, it would be a dead end.

 Therefore, Merlin was now trying everything possible to strengthen himself. The more chaotic times were, the more important strength was. Otherwise, there would be no safety in the chaos.

 Fortunately, Merlin was not an ordinary Controller, but an extremely rare Creator with infinite potential. Even if he did not merge Latitude Cosmoses, he could still slowly expand his Latitude Cosmos, thus enhancing his strength.

 Now, Merlin was carefully studying his Illusory World, particularly the Illusory World’s natural order. He was trying to find ways to make his Illusory World expand faster.

 Merlin’s Illusory World was already large enough. In terms of the previous universe, perhaps even the entire Milky Way was still not as large as the Illusory World.

 However, it was only comparable to the Milky Way galaxy. Merlin’s Illusory World was still small and pitiful compared to the entire universe. It was not even worth mentioning at all. After all, his Illusory World was basically a small universe as it had several basic theorems from the past universe as a natural order to support the entire world.

 Even Tyron greatly praised Merlin’s Illusory World which had unlimited potential. Tyron’s Central Region Major Cosmos, although it was unimaginably vast, was far from the universe from his past life.

 Merlin was still ambitious. Although he was not that eager to break through the limit Tyron mentioned, he believed that his Illusory World had infinite potential and could develop to the size of the universe in his past life. Just one hundredth or one thousandth was enough for him. At that time, even he did not know how powerful he would have become. He would not need any qualitative evolutions at all.

 “Expanding the world. Besides integrating other Latitude Cosmoses, is it possible to expand it from within?”

 Merlin had been thinking of this problem. His Illusory World was indeed expanding, but it was too slow. At present, there were already many civilizations in the Illusory World. These civilizations all had their own governments and had not come in contact with one another.

 Expansion of the world had to come from nothingness. In his former world, Merlin had heard a famous theory called the Big Bang. There were people who believed that the universe had gradually developed from an explosion, from nothingness into something.

 Now, it was hard for his Illusory World to merge with other Latitude Cosmoses. In order to rapidly improve, he had to think of a way to make earth-shaking changes or ‘Big Bangs’ in his Illusory World to shake it and cause it to expand rapidly.

 This was a very crazy idea, because in the experience of the Controllers, chaos would weaken a world’s power, only order would strengthen it. Therefore, every Controller without exception carefully protected his own world to maintain the order within it and prevent it from falling into chaos.

 However, Merlin was going the opposite way!

 It was not desirable to create chaos on a large scale. Therefore, Merlin chose two civilizations in the Illusory World to give it a try.

 These two civilizations were evenly matched and had already stepped out of their planet, but they had not encountered each other yet so there was no dispute over their interests. However, Merlin was the Absolute Being of the Illusory World, so it was easy for him to create conflict. Therefore, he immediately created a star full of resources that both civilizations would covet.

 As a result, both civilizations discovered this new resource star. At that time, when the two civilizations formally contacted and negotiations failed, they would end up fighting each other. They were both powerful civilizations and possessed extremely strong power, so their strength was earth-shattering. Countless stars were destroyed, and the war grew bigger and more severe. The number of stars that were destroyed was almost countless.

 In the process, Merlin felt joyful that the Illusory World’s speed of expansion had increased immediately. It was not just doubled or tripled, but a hundred times more. The more stars destroyed, the more amazing the expansion was.

 

This was a kind of internal expansion. Although countless stars were destroyed, it was all inside the Illusory World and there was no loss of vitality. Furthermore, the Illusory World’s natural order was also extremely large and stable. It was impossible for it to shake because of turmoil.

 Merlin seemed to have found a way to rapidly expand the Illusory World. Therefore, he extended this method to the entire Illusory World. At that time, the Illusory World was plunged into turmoil, and all-out-wars broke out everywhere.

 The Illusory World was expanding madly. It was originally equivalent to around a dozen Latitude Cosmoses, but in a few short months, it had expanded to the point of twenty Latitude Cosmoses, and was still expanding.

 One year, ten years, one hundred years…

 For a Controller, even ten thousand years was just a fleeting moment.

 Merlin immersed himself in the expansion of his Illusory World. After ten thousand years, his Illusory World had expanded to an unimaginable extent, and was now equivalent to the size of more than 1,800 Latitude Cosmoses. He had already entered the realm of a Medium Cosmos Absolute Being.

 “Phew…”

 Merlin, who had been immersed in expansion, finally regained consciousness. Currently, the Illusory World was in ruins. Even though it continued to expand, some civilizations became stronger in the war and swept almost half the Illusory World.

 Under this circumstance, the ten thousand years of turmoil seemed to have caused the Illusory World to reach its limit, as the natural order had begun to shake.

 A world could be chaotic, but it could not be chaotic forever, or else the natural order would be shaken. Once that happened, it would not be far from the collapse of the world.

 Therefore, when Merlin felt that the chaos had begun to shake the natural order, he calmed down the disputes in the Illusory World. He knew that it would take a long time for it to recover slowly. When the natural order became strong enough, he could make the Illusory World chaotic again and expand it rapidly.

 This was the strength of a Creator. It seemed like this path could only be walked by people like Merlin, who had the special Illusory World. After all, although natural orders for Latitude Cosmoses inside a Creator’s body were strong, they were usually unstable. How could they be compared with the natural order Merlin referenced regarding the basic theorem of the universe in his former life?

 The natural order of their worlds would definitely shake after a period of chaos. Therefore, Merlin’s risky method was only suitable for himself at present.

 Unless, in the future, someone could come up with a natural order that was as stable as Merlin. They must also be a Creator in order to expand their Latitude Cosmos in this way.

 “Merlin, you’re finally awake. Come to me quickly.”

 Merlin had just awakened when a familiar but urgent voice sounded in his ear.

 “Teacher?”

 

Merlin was stunned. He knew that it was the voice of Teacher Tyron. Judging by the urgent tone in his voice, perhaps something happened with the Void Beasts.

 “Ten thousand years. I wonder if the Void Beasts have been driven back to the Void Sea already? Or has the situation deteriorated further?”

 Merlin murmured lowly. Ten thousand years. He did not know how the situation had developed either. However, now that his teacher summoned him, he could only get up quickly and rush to the place where Teacher Tyron was.
