NOVEL NEXT Chapter 186: Rejection
Roy accepted the osmanthus leaf and extended his Soul Power into it.
Instantly, a massive stream of information surged into Roy's mind along with his Soul Power.
It was the method by which Hong Meng created the universe and life.
After absorbing this information, Roy's understanding of cultivation beyond the Black Hole Stage became much clearer.
After the Black Hole Stage came the "Origin Point Stage."
One had to compress all the power within their body into a single "point," a point that existed between reality and unreality, being "there" with one thought and "gone" with another.
Following that was the "Origin Point Big Bang," which would open up the Qiankun World and lead to the "Qiankun Realm."
When the "Qiankun World" absorbed enough of the Hong Meng Universe and grew to its limit, the "Qiankun would shatter, transforming into countless parallel spaces," thus achieving the "Universe" realm.
At that time, the Xuanhuang Qi born during the creation of the universe would be able to elevate Roy to the level of the "Xuanhuang Indestructible Body."
It could be said that by obtaining this method of universe creation bestowed by Hong Meng, Roy's future path was now free of any turbulence.
"Thank you, Big Brother. Your creation method has been of great help to me, little brother."
"Hahahaha, we are brothers, why be so formal?"
Hong Meng laughed, "I can create worlds, and I can create life."
"If I wished, I could create a batch of Hong Meng lifeforms capable of withstanding the erosion of Hong Meng Qi, but..."
At this point, Hong Meng's face showed a proud expression.
"This Primordial Space is my home. What right do those Hong Meng lifeforms I created have to share the same space with me?"
"Only those who, like you, my second brother, have broken through the shackles of the universe on their own, come to the Primordial Space on their own, and survived the erosion of Hong Meng Qi are qualified to be my second brother."
Roy secretly clicked his tongue.
Hong Meng clearly regarded the Primordial Space as his home, and only those he recognized as family were qualified to exist within it.
And that qualification was to break through from the universe he created on one's own, enter the Primordial Space, and still be alive.
Hong Meng had been creating universes for over a thousand yanji.
There had been instances of people breaking through from the main universe into the Primordial Space.
However, they were all dissolved by the Hong Meng Qi within the Primordial Space, their essence returning to the Primordial Source.
Otherwise, Hong Meng wouldn't have said that even a "Heavenly Venerate" would be dissolved upon entering the Primordial Space.
This was not Hong Meng spouting nonsense, but rather events that had occurred several times before.
As of now, only Roy, who had cultivated the "Hong Meng Body" in an affiliated universe, was considered the first person, besides Hong Meng himself, to survive in the Primordial Space.
Seeing that Roy had completely absorbed the method of world creation, Hong Meng's face also showed a satisfied smile.
"Hahaha, second brother, let Big Brother show you a treasure."
With that, Hong Meng waved his hand, and from the deepest part of the Primordial Space, a golden proclamation flew over.
This golden榜文, under Hong Meng's control, floated before the two of them and slowly unfurled.
When the golden榜文 was fully unfurled, Roy felt a pressure from it that made him tremble even now.
After steadying his emotions, Roy turned his gaze to the golden榜文, which was half a meter wide and six meters long.
"Hong Meng Golden Ranking!"
In an instant, even before Hong Meng could introduce it, Roy knew what this golden榜文 was.
Behind the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, there was a glyph. Although Roy didn't recognize the glyph, inexplicably, the moment he saw it, Roy knew it was called "Meng."
On the front of the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, in the upper left corner of the first line, there was another scroll.
It was the character "Hong."
"This thing is called the Hong Meng Golden Ranking. It's a treasure that accompanied me from the moment I was born in the Primordial Space."
"As long as you leave your name on it with your Soul Power, you will become a Hong Meng Controller and can use all the energy within the Primordial Space."
"Furthermore, you can see the destinies of almost all living beings."
At this point, Hong Meng paused and chuckled, "However, you already possess the ability to see through destiny, so this ability is rather redundant for you."
"Second brother, you should leave your name on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking with your Soul Power now."
"This way, you can become a Hong Meng Controller through the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, and you can control the energy within the Primordial Space to create universes, becoming a Level One Hong Meng Controller like me."
Looking at Hong Meng's expectant gaze, Roy pursed his lips. Instead of immediately leaving his name on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking with his Soul Power, he asked Hong Meng, "Big Brother, tell me, in the years since you left your name on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, has your strength improved?"
Hong Meng was taken aback, not understanding why Roy was asking this, but he still answered Roy's question.
"Well, ever since I cultivated the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body, my strength reached a limit, beyond which I could not advance. In these thousand-plus yanji, my strength has indeed not improved at all."
Roy shook his head, "Big Brother, I don't believe that strength has a limit."
"I started as a small human and reached my current state through cultivation. If my strength has reached a limit, it can only mean that our cultivation paths are misguided."
"Big Brother, you also know that in the Magic affiliated universe, refining a Godhead or a Lord Godhead can indeed greatly enhance one's strength."
"However, both the Gods after refining a Godhead and the Lords Gods after refining a Lord Godhead have lost the qualification for further advancement. Their upper limits have been locked by the Godhead and the Lord Godhead."
"This Hong Meng Golden Ranking is no different from a Godhead or Lord Godhead to me."
"Perhaps, when I can no longer find a path forward, I will have my name inscribed on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking and become a Hong Meng Controller to enhance my strength."
"However, I still want to try for myself, to see how far I can go."
"So, I apologize, Big Brother. I can only disappoint your kind intentions for now. I only hope that if I fail in the future, I can come to you again for a spot as a Controller."
Hong Meng smiled and waved his hand, and the Hong Meng Golden Ranking floating before the two flew into the boundless Primordial Space.
"Hahaha, if my second brother has such aspirations, then it would truly be harming you if I were to let you inscribe your name on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking."
"However, what you said makes some sense. Ever since I refined the Hong Meng Golden Ranking and became a Hong Meng Controller, I haven't improved my strength in a long time."
"Now, let Big Brother make a comparison with you and see if the Hong Meng Golden Ranking is as you say, that once a name is inscribed, there is no further path to advancement."
"Mm."
Hearing Hong Meng say this, Roy's heart finally relaxed.
To be honest, he was genuinely worried that Hong Meng would force him to inscribe his name on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking.
Indeed, after becoming a Hong Meng Controller, one could control the Hong Meng Qi within the Primordial Space, using it to open up universes according to Hong Meng's creation method, thus achieving the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body.
However, in Roy's view, this was too similar to how Gods refined their Lord Godheads to gain Willpower.
Achieving the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body was akin to the Gods strengthening their divine bodies to the level of Lord God Artifacts, increasing their strength by tens of times.
But the most fundamental laws did not improve at all.
If the Paragon and a Lord God Artifact divine body represented the limit of a Lord God, Then the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body and the spacetime power of the universe would be the limits of a Hong Meng Controller.
The Xuanhuang Indestructible Body would be naturally achieved when Roy cultivated to the "Universe Realm."
Therefore, he truly wasn't very concerned about a spot on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, just as he wasn't concerned about a "Lord Godhead."
Even more so, before he could continue cultivating and becoming stronger, he wouldn't even consider inscribing his name on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking.
After chatting with Hong Meng for a while, Roy asked Hong Meng to create a small farmhouse courtyard next to his thatched hut. He then entered the courtyard to begin his next stage of cultivation.
The cultivation from the "Black Hole Stage" to break through to the "Origin Point Stage."
...
"Boom!"
"Damn it!"
Leisjing was sent flying by Beirut's staff and couldn't help but roar in anger.
But this did not change the fact that Beirut had already re-engaged Leihong.
Through years of combat, Beirut had figured out the strengths and weaknesses of the two in front of him.
In the beginning, this fellow named "Leihong" was stronger, and that little bald guy named Leisjing couldn't withstand a single blow from him and would be sent flying.
But after thousands of years of fighting, "Leihong" remained at the same strength. Conversely, the little bald guy who cultivated the Destruction Rule had developed some ability to contend with Beirut.
If the fight continued, Beirut wasn't even sure if this little bald guy would break through to "Paragon" before him.
Once this little bald guy broke through to the Paragon of the Destruction Rule, Beirut would truly have no chance of turning the tables.
Therefore, after sending Leisjing flying, Beirut shifted his main target of attack to Leihong, the slower opponent.
As long as he killed this big fellow first, with only Leisjing remaining, whether Beirut wanted to fight or flee would be a mere thought.
"Ah Hong!"
Seeing Leihong's body being torn apart piece by piece by Beirut, Leisjing's eyes were filled with rage.
"Boom!"
With a thought, Leisjing's Spiritual Sense instantly retrieved a drop of Sovereign Power from his spatial ring and instantly absorbed it into his body.
In an instant, Leisjing's aura surged, emitting a powerful pressure, and his body was enveloped in purple radiance.
Over the years, in his battles with Beirut, Leisjing's comprehension of the Destruction Rule had also continuously increased, causing his strength to improve by several levels.
But now, with Leihong in danger, Leisjing could not afford to continue comprehending the Destruction Rule. Instead, he directly absorbed the Destruction Sovereign Power, intending to kill Beirut.
