MTLNOVEL Chapter 198: Linley's Growth
No, it shouldn't be said that Hong Meng looked down on him.
After all, without entering the Primordial Space, Hong Meng wouldn't even glance at Linley.
Of course, if someone with a great hand like two Kings and four Twos were to lose, the person holding such a hand would absolutely be detested by many!
In Hong Meng's eyes, Linley, who was born with an affinity for the four elements of earth, wind, water, and fire, was no different from someone who drew two Kings and four Twos in Dou Dizhu.
If Linley could successfully cultivate the Hong Meng Body and enter the Primordial Space, Hong Meng would definitely welcome him.
But if Linley could only reach the Primordial Space under Roy's guidance and arrangement, then such a Linley would not be recognized by Hong Meng.
Now, Hong Meng was showing his attitude to Roy.
And Roy had also responded to Hong Meng.
Indeed, as far as Roy knew, in the future Lin Meng Universe, there were at least two people who, with a little guidance from Hong Meng or Lin Meng, would become Hong Meng Controllers in the Primordial Space.
The first was Che Houyuan, who created the "Qiankun" formation. If guided, Che Houyuan could achieve the "Xuanhuang Indestructible Body" in the Divine Realm and thus enter the Primordial Space to become a Hong Meng Controller.
The second was Lei Wei, who coincidentally traveled from the technology universe to the mortal world of the Immortal-Mortal Universe.
In the technology universe, although people had no cultivation methods, relying on their powerful technological capabilities, humanity's footsteps had spread throughout the technology universe, and their understanding of the universe was arguably the most profound.
Lei Wei, with his understanding of the universe, created "Star Transformation." If he didn't die, he would very likely become a Hong Meng Controller.
But neither Hong Meng nor Lin Meng said anything more, letting them fend for themselves.
Therefore, the one who ultimately became a Hong Meng Controller was Qin Yu, Qin Meng!
...
With Hong Meng's reminder, Roy also gave up on interfering with Linley's plans.
However, he still wanted to see if Linley could indeed become Lin Meng.
It was only a few thousand years, so it wouldn't cause any significant delay.
Without Dellinger Ke, Linley's early performance was still quite astonishing.
Due to his family's financial difficulties, after learning the price of stone carvings from his roommate Yale, Linley also started thinking about learning stone carving.
Since he had no connections to find a master carver to teach him how to carve, Linley had to teach himself.
And his carving tool was a small dagger.
While practicing carving by himself, Linley found that sometimes his mental power improved more than meditation, which made Linley even more interested.
Of course, although Linley's magic talent was extraordinary, he did not give up on practicing as a warrior.
He was a descendant of the Dragonblood Warrior family. Even if he couldn't cultivate the family's "Dragonblood Tome," he could still train his body to the level of a Level Seven warrior.
Without Dellinger Ke's guidance, Linley's magic cultivation was similar to his warrior cultivation. However, due to the lack of advanced magic incantations and specific cultivation methods, Linley's strength as a warrior was still greater.
In order to better utilize the advantages of dual cultivation of magic and martial arts, Linley also began to try silent casting and instant casting of magic.
Silent casting was slightly more difficult than chanting magic spells to release magic, but the difference was that one was mentally recited, while the other was directly chanted aloud.
Mentally reciting incantations placed higher demands on one's state of mind. A slight mistake could lead to casting failure and magical backlash.
Instant casting, on the other hand, involved practicing a magic spell to a very profound level, gaining a deep understanding of it, and reaching the point where "thoughts manifest instantly."
From the perspective of laws, this meant that one had initially touched upon a trace of the profound mysteries of the laws within that magic.
Emotionally, Linley encountered Alice during his travels, and nascent emotions blossomed. This added a touch of charm to Linley's stone carvings, allowing him to earn some money.
However, in the end, Alice chose Kalan.
...
Within the Primordial Space, Roy and Hong Meng exchanged cultivation insights while watching Linley through Hong Meng's light screen.
As the person most likely to become his third brother, Hong Meng paid close attention.
On the screen, Linley drank the dragon blood of the Spiny Ironclad Dragon, increasing his bloodline concentration to the point where he could transform into a Dragonblood Warrior and cultivate the Dragonblood Tome, thus leaping to become a Level Eight warrior.
Then, after heartbreak, his carving skills reached the Grandmaster realm, his mental power broke through, and his magic cultivation also advanced to the Level Seven mark.
After that, a development that made Hong Meng's eyebrows twitch occurred.
Linley actually obtained a Divine Artifact.
From Hong Meng's perspective, it was natural to see that the Divine Artifact was a powerful divine sword of the Destruction System.
If Linley were to overuse this Divine Artifact, he might comprehend the "Destruction Rule," causing his soul to change and disrupting the "earth, wind, water, and fire" pattern, thus losing any chance of entering the Primordial Space.
This situation was strikingly similar to someone in the main universe.
At that time, someone in Hong Meng's main universe, whom Hong Meng had high hopes for, chose to use that exotic treasure, gaining a powerful Lightning Element spiritual root, and losing the possibility of further advancement.
And now, this little fellow had also obtained a powerful Divine Artifact and would gain a powerful Destruction System Divine Clone. What would his future hold?
Fortunately, Linley himself knew the power of the Divine Artifact and never easily revealed it. He even forged a "Black Jade Heavy Sword" for his cultivation.
In the "Graveyard of Gods," he initially fused the wind element's "speed" and "slowness" profound mysteries. Twenty years later, Linley completely merged the "speed" and "slowness" profound mysteries into the "Speed" Law profound mystery, advancing to become a Wind Element Demigod.
And the battle where Linley and Olivia teamed up to kill Pomont made Hong Meng and Roy laugh and cry.
No matter how strong Linley and Olivia were, they were only Demigods.
Even with Olivia's soul mutated, Linley's attacks, bolstered by the Violet Blood Soft Sword, only reached the level of a God.
The magic array on Bosa Dike was personally set up by Beirut, who was "suspected to be a Paragon." People of the same level would need considerable time to break it. How could it be so easily cleaved by Olivia's attack?
This was nothing more than Beirut feeling incredibly bored and wanting to release a batch of people from the Plane Prison to play with, making Linley and Olivia take the blame.
Seeing this, Roy shook his head.
Due to memories from his previous life, Roy still had a bit of a filter for some familiar people, holding a degree of affection for them.
However, these filters had mostly faded after he entered the Primordial Space.
Beirut's willingness to disregard the lives of billions of ordinary citizens for his own amusement greatly lowered Roy's opinion of him.
This also made Roy extremely fortunate that he hadn't created a Wind Element Lord Godhead for Beirut in his pursuit to perfectly replicate memories.
Otherwise, who knew what greater commotion Beirut would have caused.
Did he really consider himself the Death Sovereign?
It was just that the Death Sovereign played in the Netherworld's Netherworld Mountain, while Beirut played in the Yulan Plane.
And the Death Sovereign possessed the confidence to suppress everything.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, Beirut also possessed such confidence.
However, among the people Beirut released this time, there was a super expert capable of challenging Beirut.
Qing Huo, Zacharias·Raylin!
Raylin could also be considered a super prodigy of the Yulan Plane.
He was a High-level God of both Earth and Fire elements. His Earth Element High-level God clone had fused five Profound Mysteries of Laws and was a super expert of the Asura Prefect level. His Fire Element High-level God clone was only a sliver away from completely fusing the Profound Mysteries of Fire Element Laws to Paragon, making him an invincible expert.
Of course, Beirut's Darkness Element Profound Mysteries were completely fused with five elements, possessing a complete set of three Lord God Artifacts. Coupled with his physical strength comparable to a Godhead, Beirut's power was not much different from a Paragon High-God.
Not long after emerging from the Gobada Plane Prison, Raylin, after guiding Linley, was approached by Beirut, who wanted to invite Zacharias·Raylin to join the Four Divine Beast Family lineage. Raylin refused.
Having stayed in the Gobada Plane Prison for so long, Raylin's idea after coming out was to travel through billions of planes and see the world.
Beirut, confident in his strength, made an agreement with Raylin: they would have a great battle, and the outcome would determine Raylin's fate.
Thus, the most terrifying battle in the Yulan Plane occurred!
The earth cracked, the sky shattered, and the immense aura struck fear into the hearts of the Gods who had emerged from the Gobada Plane Prison.
Especially Evil King Odin, one of the five kings of the Gobada Plane, felt fortunate that he had not actively provoked Qing Huo City during their time in the Gobada Plane.
In this battle, Raylin was almost killed by Beirut at the beginning. However, in his moment of crisis, Raylin successfully fused the last sliver of Profound Mysteries of Laws, becoming the first Paragon High-God on the Yulan Continent.
After Raylin became a Paragon, neither of them could gain the upper hand in their battle, forcing Beirut to abandon his idea of persuading Raylin to join the Four Divine Beast lineage.
However, Beirut then told Raylin to travel to the Star God Realm first to learn more about the Four Divine Beast Family and the Star lineage.
He also told Raylin that with his talent, his Earth God clone might also achieve Paragon. In the Star God Realm, as soon as an Earth Paragon appeared, a Lord Godhead would emerge. Whoever obtained the Lord Godhead would become a supreme "Sovereign."
After the battle between Beirut and Raylin, those who had emerged from the Gobada Plane Prison also knew who the true power broker of the Yulan Continent was. They all became as docile as partridges.
With them subdued, Beirut grew bored. He immediately imposed a time limit on these Gods for residing in the Yulan Plane, requiring them to leave the Yulan Plane once their allotted time was up.
After Linley became a God, he handed over the Baruch Empire he had established to his younger brother, Walton·Baruch, and, along with his wife Dilia and Beibei, embarked on a planar teleportation array to the Infernal Realm.
