Chapter 197: Hong Meng's So-Called "Brother"
Hong Meng is the creator of the Magic Universe. Whatever Roy was observing in the Magic Universe, he could know with a single thought.
A light screen between the two quickly displayed an image of the town.
There, a burly man in his forties was instructing a group of teenagers in cultivation.
From time to time, the burly man would lift a test boulder and show his strength to the teenagers, stimulating their desire to cultivate.
Not far from this group of teenagers, several children under the age of thirteen were also diligently following along.
"The second brother mentioned the third brother, is this little guy him?"
As Hong Meng spoke, the image on the light screen focused on the little boy with brown hair.
From the image, both Roy and Hong Meng could see that even though sweat was pouring down the brown-haired child's face and his muscles were trembling, he was still gritting his teeth and persevering in his cultivation.
Around him, even the teenagers who were much older than this brown-haired child had already given up and were lying on the ground, panting heavily.
"Mm."
Roy was not surprised at all that Hong Meng could identify Lin Lei at a glance.
After all, in the current Hong Meng Universe, this was the only remaining "person of uncertain destiny."
For many years, Roy, like Hong Meng, had recognized that only "people of uncertain destiny" had even a slim chance of breaking free from the constraints of their universe.
Just like in Lin Meng's universe, Lei Wei was also a "person of uncertain destiny," which was why he transmigrated from the "Technological Universe" in Lin Meng's universe to the mortal realm in the "Immortal and Demonic Universe."
This could also be considered a breakthrough from the shackles of the original universe. After obtaining the cultivation theories of the immortal cultivation world, Lei Wei also created the "Star Transformation" cultivation technique based on the understanding of the universe from the "Technological Universe."
Unfortunately, Lei Wei was too powerful and was besieged by a large number of cultivators, ultimately perishing.
Otherwise, perhaps the third person on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking wouldn't be Qin Meng, but Lei Meng.
"Oh? Let me see."
Over the years, Hong Meng had seen no less than eight thousand "people of uncertain destiny."
Each time, he had held great hope, especially when a subordinate universe produced someone like Roy, who had the potential to break through to the Hong Meng Space, within just one era of the universe's creation.
Unfortunately, after more than a thousand eras, only Roy had successfully broken through the universe and entered the Hong Meng Space.
Since this little guy was someone his second brother thought highly of, Hong Meng naturally wanted to know what made him so valued by his second brother.
"Mm, in terms of the Magic Universe, this little guy has a very high affinity for the Earth and Wind elements. His affinity for the Fire element is average, and for Water, it's locked by his bloodline and needs activation..."
"Huh?"
Hong Meng was surprised at this point.
The Magic Universe was created by Hong Meng using Hong Meng Qi to evolve earth, wind, water, and fire.
In other words, the rules of the Magic Universe were based on the four elements: earth, wind, water, and fire, which could be fused in reverse to form Hong Meng Qi.
Seeing this, Hong Meng became interested.
At the very least, in his opinion, if this little guy could grow to become a High-level God of the four elements and obtain the power of the Lord Gods of the four elements, along with a bit of luck, he really had a high chance of cultivating the Hong Meng Body.
"You can see it?"
Roy smiled and picked up the osmanthus tea on the table. "I've conducted many experiments. One of the most memorable was when I successfully fused the power of the four Lord Gods into Hong Meng Qi."
"Unfortunately, because I didn't have Divine Clones for the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, I couldn't perfectly control that wisp of Hong Meng Qi that was fused from the power of the four Lord Gods..."
"Fortunately, my strength was quite good at the time, and I managed to send that wisp of Hong Meng Qi into the spatial turbulence. Otherwise, I might have died!"
"This little guy has an affinity for the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. If he's cultivated properly, I think it won't be long before he can leave the Magic Universe."
"Mm."
Hong Meng nodded in agreement. "Indeed. This little guy is the one I feel has the greatest chance among all those I've encountered over the years."
"However..."
Hong Meng sighed at this point. "The destinies of people of uncertain destiny cannot even be interfered with by us, otherwise..."
"I remember that about three hundred eras ago, my main universe also had a person with five elemental spiritual roots: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth."
"Second brother, you also know that I created my main universe by evolving metal, wood, water, fire, and earth using Hong Meng Qi. Therefore, the divine powers of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth can be fused into Hong Meng Qi."
"At that time, I also had high expectations for him and interfered a little, guiding him to primarily cultivate the five elements."
"Unfortunately, later he obtained a treasure that allowed him to gain a lightning spiritual root..."
"Although he eventually became a significant figure in the main universe, he had already lost the opportunity to return to his origin."
"This little guy has the talent to cultivate the Destruction Rule. If he's not careful, he could disrupt the balance of the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire. In that case..."
Hong Meng's words brought Roy back to a sense of calm from the joy of Lin Lei's birth.
Yes, the destinies of people of uncertain destiny were not meant to be observed by anyone.
It could be said that it wouldn't be strange if Lin Lei died the very next second.
Moreover, because of his existence in the Magic Universe, the Four Divine Beast Lord Gods were not dead, Beirut was not a Lord God, and Lin Lei's mentor, Dellinger Ke, had died over five thousand years ago...
"Also..."
Hong Meng waved his hand, dispersing the light screen between them, and said to Roy solemnly, "Second brother, every person who comes to the Hong Meng Space and survives, I can consider them my brother."
"Whether it's strength or luck, as long as they can survive in the Primordial Space after breaking free from the Universe's constraints, I will acknowledge them."
"However, the prerequisite for all of this is that they reach this level through their own efforts."
"Do you understand what I'm saying, second brother?"
"I understand, big brother."
Hong Meng spoke solemnly, and Roy naturally responded with equal seriousness.
With Hong Meng's abilities, creating a batch of beings with the Hong Meng Body wouldn't be difficult.
But, just as Hong Meng said, the Primordial Space was his home.
What was the difference between those Hong Meng beings he created and slaves?
How could slaves possibly reside in their master's home?
To Hong Meng, someone like Linley, who could break free from the Universe's shackles and enter the Primordial Space with just a bit of guidance, was no different from the Hong Meng beings he created. What right did he have to become his "brother"?
Rather, if Linley, with such excellent conditions, couldn't break free from the Magic Universe's constraints and enter the Primordial Space, Hong Meng would definitely look down on him.
