Chapter 1034: Tyron!
Merlin followed Haliman, passing through several hallways. Finally, they stepped into another illuminated gateway and found themselves in a dreamy subspace. The sky was pitch-black yet glittered with starry sparkle. It looked very bizarre.
Haliman greeted a corner of the void reverently. “Sir Tyron, Controller Merlin has arrived!”
“Very well, you may go.”
A faraway voice sounded. It was slightly stand-offish. Haliman glanced at Merlin once again, then lowered his head and departed respectfully.Merlin looked around but could not see anyone in this subspace. It seemed like every corner was filled with a foggy mist. Merlin knew that this was Sir Tyron’s residence, so of course, it was extraordinary. Not to mention, Merlin had just become a Controller and even the Medium Cosmos Controllers would not be able to properly discern this place.
“Controller Merlin, don’t be afraid. In some senses, we’re the same species. It’s just that I’ve been one step ahead of you…”
The faraway voice spoke once again. Subsequently, amid the pitch-black void, a star seemed to shimmer to life and transformed into a ray of light. Then, it appeared before Merlin and coalesced into a figure.
The figure appeared to be very youthful. He wore a long white robe and had a pair of unfathomable eyes. Other than that, he looked quite ordinary. Based on looks alone, it was unbelievable that he was the master of this universe, Sir Tyron!
“Sir Tyron!”
Merlin knew that this figure before him was none other than Sir Tyron. Although Merlin had never met him, there was a sense of kinship.
“Creator, we’re called Creators! Do you know why we can become the most powerful existences among the Controllers?”The moment Tyron appeared, he eyed Merlin sternly and asked this loaded question.
Merlin thought about it. He only understood the basic differences between Controllers and Creators. As for the more profound layers, Merlin did not know.
Therefore, Merlin shook his head to show that he did not know.
“It’s creation. The creation of a complete world! Usually, the Controllers simply seized control over the Latitude Cosmos which they were living in and replaced the world’s will. However, they’re ultimately unable to create a complete world or its natural order. This is why they’ll never be comparable to us Creators.”
“Boom.”
Epiphany struck Merlin. Finally, the question that had been lingering in his mind was answered. Indeed, Creators were able to create a world’s natural order. This was the most basic component. The most fundamental difference between Creators and Controllers was that they could create a complete world.
Merlin’s Illusory World also consisted of a complete set of the natural order.
“The path to becoming a Creator is destined to be the most arduous journey but it’s also the most glorious. A Creator’s biggest obstacle is to create a complete world. I believe that before you became a Creator, you’ve spent countless efforts and weathered numerous crises.
“Back then, I conceived a world prototype in my body. Nonetheless, this prototype required an enormous amount of energy as sustenance to grow and form. Due to this reason, I would oppose every single Latitude Cosmos I encountered. I had to do it eighteen times in total. Almost every time, I was on the verge of death. However, I managed to hold on until the end. Eventually, the Latitude Cosmos in my body matured completely and I became a Creator.”
Tyron had conceived a world prototype in his own body and experienced eighteen Latitude Cosmoses. It was truly an arduous journey, even more, grueling compared to Merlin.
Merlin’s experience had been difficult enough as it was. He had experienced two Latitude Cosmoses before leveraging on the imperfect will of the Almighty Beast World to convert the Illusory World from illusion into reality and become a Creator.
If the Almighty Beast World’s will had been perfectly intact, then Merlin would have had to endure countless hurdles. Perhaps, after waiting a long time for the Illusory World to recover, he would also be banished by the Almighty Beast World and forced to experience several other Latitude Cosmoses. In that case, he did not know when the Illusory World could be turned from an illusion into reality.
From this vantage point, the path traveled by the Creators was indeed arduous.
After being reminded by Tyron, Merlin realized that the path of Creators was truly challenging. Besides, it also had the effect of bridging the gap. Merlin no longer found Tyron overwhelmingly frightening as before.
Tyron asked, “How did you conceive your world?”
Every Creator conceived their Latitude Cosmos using different methods but all of them had one thing in common – they created the world’s natural order. This was also considered the essence of a Latitude Cosmos.
“My Illusory World was an illusionary world consolidated using Mind Power. Thereafter, I devoured an incomplete Latitude Cosmos’ will. As a result, the illusionary world was transformed from an illusion into reality, and thus, I became a Creator!”
“An illusionary world which was transformed into reality?”
Tyron’s tone was filled with curiosity. All the Creators he knew had conceived a world but every conception method was unique and distinctive. Nevertheless, all of them ultimately managed to give birth to a complete Latitude Cosmos.
In Merlin’s case, his world was conceived and perfected as an illusionary world, then finally converted from illusion into reality. Such a conception method was indeed one-of-a-kind and also a first for Tyron.
“Why, is there something wrong?”
When Merlin saw Tyron wrinkle his brows, he got slightly nervous.
Tyron smiled softly. “Nothing is wrong. As long as you manage to conceive a complete Latitude Cosmos, there’s no problem. I just found your method of conceiving the Latitude Cosmos very unique. Up to this point, your conception method is the first of its kind that I’ve heard of. Regardless, since all of us are Creators, the method used to create a Latitude Cosmos is immaterial. What’s important is the result.”
Merlin released a breath of relief. His Illusory World was not flawed. Even now, Merlin could sense that the Illusory World was able to slowly expand based on its internal development.
“Let’s see your Latitude Cosmos, then.”
Tyron said casually.
Merlin nodded. His current understanding of Creators was still very elementary. Showing it to the most powerful person would certainly give him a lot of benefits.
Hence, Merlin wielded the Illusory World and shrouded Tyron within it.
“Indeed, this is a brand-new natural order… However, there are so few natural order. It seems like this natural order doesn’t have any major limitations. Wait… Can this natural order develop infinitely?”
Suddenly, Tyron focused his gaze as though he had discovered something unbelievable in Merlin’s Illusory World.
Merlin’s world’s natural order was indeed quite simple. There were only a few laws, all of which consisted of generic natural order from his previous “universe”. This type of natural order was very stable and would not cause any problem.
However, this particular type of natural order made Tyron look serious.
“Sir Tyron, what did you discover?”
Merlin asked with a worried frown.
After a long time, Tyron seemed to recollect his wits. He regarded Merlin solemnly and said softly, “Controller Merlin, although us Controllers and Creators can continue to expand our respective worlds by devouring the wills of Latitude Cosmos, you must know that we still have a limit.”
“Limit?”
“That’s right. There are set limits regardless of how big the world is. The limits of a Latitude Cosmos are determined by its natural order. Ordinarily, a Creator’s Latitude Cosmos would have hundreds or even thousands of natural order laws. Myself, I have three hundred and eighty over laws of natural order. On the other hand, your natural order consists of just a few laws. Nevertheless, astonishingly, your Latitude Cosmos is operating well.
“The natural order of a Latitude Cosmos can determine its limits. Therefore, some worlds can only achieve up to a Minor Cosmos whereas others can achieve a Medium Cosmos. For Creators, since the natural order is created by us, it’s very pliable. For this reason, we have great potential to achieve a Major Cosmos.
“Your world, in my opinion, doesn’t have a limit… A Latitude Cosmos without any limits. I can’t imagine how powerful you will become in the future.”
If Tyron’s words were leaked outside, most probably many people would find his statement incomprehensible. After all, Tyron was the number one contender among the top five Absolute Beings. Despite that, even Tyron was taken aback by Merlin’s Illusory World. Merlin gradually understood how special his Illusory World was.
“Such a stable world, such a stable natural order, the potential is endless… Controller Merlin, the only things you lack right now is time and some incomplete Latitude Cosmoses!”
There was a glimmer in Tyron’s eyes. It seemed like he had come to a decision.
Indeed, Merlin still lacked time. In fact, from the time he first came to the Void Zone until he reached this point, the amount of time lapsed was considered inconsequential compared to the other Free Beings and Controllers. The time-lapse was less than a hundred million years. For the Free Beings and Controllers, several latitude years were merely the blink of an eye.
Since Merlin was a Creator and his Illusory World could expand slowly, similar to the Free Beings, his abilities would grow stronger over time.
However, for him to improve his abilities in the shortest possible time, he would still have to devour some Latitude Cosmoses, preferably those with incomplete wills.
Therefore, when Merlin threw a hopeful glance at Tyron, a smile quirked up on the corners of Tyron’s lips. Of course, he knew what Merlin desired.
“Phew…”
Tyron exhaled lightly and steeled his gaze. He asked in a deep voice, “Controller Merlin, are you willing to join the Central Region Controllers Alliance and become my disciple?”
Suddenly, Tyron’s tone turned serious.
