Chapter 469 An unexpected surprise

However, it is still unknown whether the souls of these holy creatures whose memories have been restored can return to the world of the dead after they die again.

Of course, from Locke's own perspective, it is very likely that the soul will dissipate directly and there will be no second chance to enter the world of the dead.

After all, a glimmer of hope is, after all, just a glimmer of hope.

What's more, after the creatures in the world of the dead are killed, their souls will dissipate without any trace left.

Why do the creatures that have left the holy land of the undead world have the chance to start over again after being killed?

"Rumble..."

After Linley and his companions left the Palace of the Lord God, Locke's mind moved, and the door of the Palace of the Lord God slammed shut.

Sitting on the throne, Locke closed his eyes.

Linley’s most important transformation has been completed. Next, the only thing worth Locke’s attention is his fusion of the four different laws of earth, wind, water and fire when facing the attack of Auf’s “Beyond Reincarnation”.

"Beyond the cycle of reincarnation..."

Locke touched his chin.

Locke remembered that the move "Beyond Reincarnation" was created by Auf based on the "Time and Space Disorder", the fusion talent of the Lord of Destruction and the four sacred beasts. It can be called the strongest move in the magic universe.

This is a powerful attack that can break the fetal membrane of the magical universe.

With the strength of the Lord of Fate Auf at that time, he was able to use a power comparable to an ordinary attack from the Supreme God, which was enough to show how powerful this move was.

Even Locke has never created such a trick.

"Perhaps, I can also try to challenge myself and see if I can create 'Beyond the Reincarnation', or a move comparable to 'Beyond the Reincarnation'..."

“Indeed, with Mirror Flower and Water Moon’s ability, as long as I have seen the fusion of Fate Lord Auf’s ‘Transcendence of Reincarnation’ and Linley’s Four Elements of Earth, Wind, Water and Fire once, I can replicate them.”

"However, after entering the Hongmeng space, I can only grope my way forward on my own."

"At that time, there was no one who could replicate it for me."

"In the Hongmeng space, only those with extraordinary understanding can open up a new path of cultivation."

"Understanding more and creating powerful secrets is a way to train your understanding."

“It will probably take tens of thousands of years before Lin Lei becomes the master of Hongmeng.”

"Let me see if I can create a move that is comparable to or even surpasses 'Beyond Reincarnation' within these tens of thousands of years, or even integrate the mysteries of the four principles of earth, wind, water, and fire..."

With a new goal, Locke once again immersed himself in cultivation.

Of course, in order to prevent himself from missing the moment when Lin Lei's four-element alien laws merged mysteriously and the Lord of Fate, Auf, used the "Transcendence of Reincarnation" move, Locke left his water god clone in the outside world to keep an eye on Lin Lei, while the original body and the clone of the Lord of Fate entered the elemental plane.

Flying to the highest altitude of the elemental plane, Locke formed his right hand into a knife and slashed lightly.

"Hey!"

The dimensional barrier of this elemental plane was directly cut through by Locke.

However, what Locke cut through was not just the barrier of the elemental plane, but the cosmic barrier of the magical universe.

Therefore, when looking out from the hole that was cut in this generation, what you see is not the brilliant colors in the turbulent space, but a gray area.

A large amount of primordial energy poured into the elemental plane from the hole cut by Locke, dissolving everything around it.

The only things that can resist the dissolving power of Hongmeng Qi are the cosmic barrier of the magic universe and the rules of heaven and earth of the magic universe.

The primordial energy that dissipated further away was decomposed into the four elements of earth, wind, water and fire under the rules of heaven and earth in the magical universe.

No, besides these two, there is another one!
That's Locke!
Locke was standing in front of the gap in this magical universe. The first person that was touched by the primordial energy that poured in from the gap was Locke.

However, there is an invisible force between Locke and the Hongmeng Qi, which blocks the Hongmeng Qi outside and prevents it from contaminating Locke at all.

What stands between Locke and the Hongmeng Qi is Locke's greatest masterpiece at the moment - the space-time barrier.

Although Locke has not yet reached the level of evolving the universe in terms of integrating the laws of time and space.

However, it is still possible to evolve a space-time barrier to isolate oneself from the primordial energy.

If you look closely, you can find a faint black line between Locke and the Hongmeng Qi.

This black line is the fragment of space and time left after the Hongmeng Qi dissolved Locke's space and time barrier.

The space-time barrier used by Locke with his current cultivation level is much inferior to the defense of the cosmic membrane.

Therefore, this space-time barrier can block the Hongmeng Qi, but it can also be dissolved by the Hongmeng Qi.

However, the space-time barrier has the support of Locke and is evolving anytime and anywhere, so it can firmly resist the dissolving power of the Hongmeng Qi.

Locke's mind moved, and the space-time barrier around him suddenly expanded, directly encompassing the primordial energy that was pouring into the magical universe.

Moreover, it also blocked the gap in the cosmic membrane of the magic universe that Locke had previously broken.

Of course, Locke also knew that resisting the Hongmeng Qi was only the first step.

As more and more Hongmeng Qi poured into Locke's space-time barrier, the confrontation between Hongmeng Qi and the space-time barrier became more and more dangerous.

After feeling that the amount of Hongmeng Qi was sufficient, Locke instantly stretched out his palm and slashed at the Hongmeng Qi ball in front of him.

"boom!"

This hand knife was like the creation of the world, directly cutting the primordial energy in Locke's space-time barrier into two halves.

In an instant, the primordial energy that was cut off by Locke evolved into earth, wind, water, and fire, and the concepts of "space" and "time" appeared.

Then, the space and time derived from the Hongmeng Qi was absorbed by Locke's space and time power, enhancing the strength of the space and time barrier.

And the earth, wind, water and fire in the space-time barrier began to evolve into the four sacred beasts, the Azure Dragon, the White Tiger, the Vermillion Bird and the Black Tortoise, under Locke's control.

For a moment, the sounds of dragons roaring and tigers howling could be heard in the microcosmic universe opened up by Locke, each displaying their own power.

Occasionally, they would combine in pairs, in groups of three, or in groups of four to make their combined talents even more powerful.

However, this seems to be their limit.

"A thousand-fold increase seems to be the limit of the amplification of moves in the magic universe..."

Looking at the evolution of the four sacred beasts in the microcosm, Locke felt that he seemed to have touched upon a hint of the mystery of the "universe".

In the Panlong Universe, two-line and three-line soul mutants can fuse divine power to increase their strength tenfold or a hundredfold.

Once the soul reaches the fourth level of mutation, in addition to the thousand-fold increase in strength brought by the fusion of divine power, there is also a willpower that is even stronger than the great perfection.

It seems that once anything that can break through the threshold of "a thousand times" is born, it will be transformed into an existence allowed by the rules of heaven and earth in this universe.

This is obviously a cosmic rule of self-preservation. "Self-preservation?"

Locke murmured, as if thinking about something.

The magic universe is just one of the four subsidiary universes opened up by Hongmeng to stabilize the main universe.

The other three subsidiary universes are the mechanical universe, the biological universe, and the immortal and demon universe.

Locke did not understand what the self-protection of these three universes was like.

But Locke knew very well about the self-protection of the magical universe.

The four supreme gods!
The four supreme gods are the embodiment of the supreme rules of the magical universe.

This statement is correct.

As for the claim that the four supreme gods are also incarnations of Hongmeng, this statement is not wrong, but it is not accurate.

As the creator of the magical universe, Hong Meng can bring his consciousness to the magical universe through the Supreme God. This is his ability as the creator of the universe.

It cannot be said that the four supreme gods are the incarnations of Hongmeng.

Given Hong Meng's personality, it is impossible for him to keep his consciousness in a certain universe.

Moreover, with Locke's current strength, he can also sense the supreme rules in the magical universe.

For Locke now, the laws of time and space are only a step away from complete integration.

Therefore, even at the level of Tianzun, there are very few who can compare with Locke.

The supreme rules of the magic universe are only at the level of "Invincible God King" and cannot pose any threat to Locke.

And if Hongmeng's consciousness was invested in the supreme rules and he descended as the supreme god, it would be impossible for Locke to fail to sense Hongmeng's will.

Indeed, even if Hong Meng's consciousness descended upon the Supreme God, it would be impossible for the Supreme God at the level of God King to cause any harm to Locke at the level of Heavenly Venerate.

However, whether in the magic universe or the Hongmeng universe, there is the ability to directly attack the enemy's soul.

Locke doesn't believe that as the creator of the Hongmeng Universe, Hongmeng will not launch soul attacks.

Even if it was only a wisp of Hongmeng's consciousness that descended into the magical universe, Locke didn't think he could survive Hongmeng's soul attack.

Locke's soul at this moment is still just an ordinary spirit of about seven or eight years old.

However, Hongmeng's soul surpassed Hongmeng's primordial spirit and reached a higher level of realm of "Xuanhuang Spirit".

Beyond two major realms, Locke felt that even a trace of Hongmeng's consciousness could crush his soul.

From this point, we can know that, generally speaking, the supreme rules are the self-protection mechanism of the universe, which is necessary for the universe to continue to exist stably.

"This is an unexpected surprise."

Locke was happy.

He himself did not expect that it was just a whim that made him want to practice "transcend reincarnation" to improve his understanding, but he unexpectedly learned another secret of the universe by accident.

Although knowing this does not help much in improving Locke's current strength, it can make Locke's universe more complete when he opens up the universe in the future.

……

When Locke began to study new tactics, Linley and his companions, led by Derin Kwart, met Ninisha.

“Linley, this person is Lady Ninisha, who saved me after my soul burned.”

"At the same time, Lord Ninisha also reached the Great Perfection of Thunder Element. It was under Lord Ninisha's guidance that I was able to cultivate to become a god, and under the influence of the rules of heaven and earth, I was able to cultivate into a divine body and be resurrected."

"Thank you, Lady Ninissa."

Although Linley’s current strength was much stronger than when he was at the Great Perfection, he still bowed to express his gratitude to Ninisha, who had saved Grandpa Delin and taught him how to become a god.

At the same time, after knowing that Ninisha had achieved great perfection in the lightning element, Linley also recalled the flash of lightning that had appeared in the sky after Grandpa Delin had burned his soul to cast the forbidden spell when he was facing a life-and-death crisis.

I guess that must be Lord Ninisha?
"It doesn't have to be this way."

Ninisha shook her head and turned slightly to the side, not accepting Linley’s greeting.

"Lord Locke asked me to protect Delin and send him to the underworld. If you want to thank someone, go thank Lord Locke."

"Oh?"

Hearing Ninisha say this, Linley was stunned for a moment.

If he remembered correctly, when he was in the main god's palace before, he thought that Grandpa Delin was rescued by Lord Locke. When he expressed his gratitude to Lord Locke, Lord Locke said that there was someone else who rescued Grandpa Delin, and asked him to thank the other person if he had the chance in the future.

And now, Ninisha said that it was Lord Locke who ordered to save Grandpa Delin. So who was the person who saved Grandpa Delin?

However, although Linley was confused, he still expressed his gratitude to Ninisha.

"Lord Ninisha, no matter who ordered you to rescue Grandpa Delin, it was you who actually brought Grandpa Delin out of the Magnolia Plane and used the Golden Soul Orb to extend Grandpa Delin's life."

“For this alone, Lin Lei must express his gratitude to you.”

"You're good."

"It's no wonder that Lord Locke thinks so highly of you."

Ninisha looked at Linley deeply and nodded approvingly.

When Ninisha received the task from Lord Locke to protect Derin Kwart, she thought that Derin Kwart was the person that Lord Locke valued.

But after rescuing Derin Cowart, Ninisha knew from Lord Locke's attitude towards Derin Cowart that what Lord Locke valued was not Derin Cowart.

Finally, considering the relationship between Derin Kvothe and Linley, Ninisha began to have some vague guesses in her mind.

The person that Lord Locke values ​​is actually Linley Baruch!
Looking at Lin Lei’s growth along the way, he has lived up to Lord Locke’s expectations.

In just over a thousand years, he has grown to the level of Shura Palace Lord.

After being sent to a plane battlefield by Lord Locke, he became a new great master.

You know, even for her, it took more than 800,000 years before she finally achieved the state of great perfection.

Compared to her, Linley’s speed in achieving Great Consummation was nearly a thousand times faster.

"Lord Locke thinks highly of me?"

Linley was stunned.

This was something he could never have imagined.

It has only been less than two thousand years since Lin Lei was born. How could he have received attention from Lord Locke, a being at the pinnacle of the Lord God?
