"Oh? I wonder what I have that could be of interest to the lofty foremost contender of the land?"

Ancestor Damon's tone did not fluctuate as he spoke mildly.

Merlin enunciated each word coldly, "The world's will!"

"Rumble."

Ancestor Damon trembled and the entire courtyard seemed to quake as well. At the same time, the Candora Trio-Lords sensed an incomparable force coming off Ancestor Damon, causing them to shudder.

They were mighty ultimate contenders yet they trembled. Without having to fight, they knew they were no match for Ancestor Damon by far. Nonetheless, this was what most surprised them. Previously, though they had felt that Ancestor Damon was mysterious, he seemed to be an ordinary ultimate contender. Who knew that Ancestor Damon's force would be so terrifying?

This was not the Ancestor Damon they knew. The Ancestor Damon they knew did not possess such fearsome force that caused them to tremble in dread.

As for the "world's will" mentioned by Merlin, they had not even heard of it. Each of them felt that this matter had a deeper meaning to it.

"Hehe, it's one thing for an outsider like you to stay quietly in this world but you've stirred up so much trouble. Haha, don't you know that once your secret is exposed, the world's will would immediately wipe you out? Do you that you'll be able to contend against the entire world's will?"

Ancestor Damon gradually stood up, his eyes as piercing as blades as they glared coldly at Merlin.

It turned out that the sensation of being exposed was not Merlin's misperception. Ancestor Damon truly had seen him through. Even Merlin's identity was exposed by him in a few words. Merlin was still rather astounded. This was the first time someone had discerned his identity. Merlin was ultimately not a man of this world.

Even so, Merlin did not panic and instead, took a deep breath. He laughed coldly. "Ancestor Damon, the world's will can obliterate me indeed. However, you possess a strand of force from the world's will. You're unlike an ordinary ultimate contender. Could you be an avatar of the world's will?"

Merlin's expression turned increasingly icy. He had already vaguely sensed something unusual about Ancestor Damon, which was a strand of the world's will. As Merlin had acutely detected this strand, he had stopped here.

"Swoosh."

Ancestor Damon's face shifted slightly but he did not speak, keeping his cold glare on Merlin.

"Let me guess. Only the legendary sacred beasts can possess the world's will. Plus, you're the one who gave the Candora Magic Mirror to the Candora royal family. That strand of sacred beast's will in the Candora Magic Mirror must be your own. Have I guessed correctly?"

Merlin asked with a stiff smile. Conversely, a huge change washed over the Candora Trio-Lords beside him.

"Ancestor Damon is a sacred beast? How's that possible?"

"A sacred beast – the sacred beast's will in the Candora Magic Mirror is really Ancestor Damon's?"

"Our Candora Empire has a sacred beast existence!"

The Candora Trio-Lords' faces were filled with incredulity. Their ancestor was a sacred beast. Anyone who heard this would feel incredulous.

However, if he were a sacred beast, why had he hidden here all this while and never revealed himself?

"Haha, outsider, not bad, you're not wrong. I'm a sacred beast and I made the Candora Magic Mirror with my own hands. As for the Candora Empire, I founded it from behind the scenes to create a peaceful environment. However, you've now destroyed my peaceful environment. To prevent my secret from leaking out and avoid the detection of the world's will, you must die today!"

"Boom."

Instantly, an endless, mighty force burst out of Ancestor Damon. Simultaneously, he started to shapeshift. A colossal almighty beast of unparalleled size emerged in the sky, its body covered in countless scales. The two wings on its back shielded nearly half of the city. It was inconceivable how large it was.

Compared to this almighty beast, any other almighty beast was not worth mentioning, seeming minuscule.

"Great… Great Dragon?"

"Ancestor Damon is a Sacred Dragon?"

"My goodness, isn't that the legendary Great Dragon?"

Ancestor Damon had revealed his true self, which was the ancient and renowned Sacred Dragon, possessing terrifying strength to wreak the land. In ancient times, it had left behind an unknown number of bloodlines.

"A Sacred Dragon?"

Merlin was stunned deep down. Just this gigantic bulk already gave him an unprecedented pressure. At this point, he no longer held back and displayed his complete shifted form for the first time.

"Roar…"

Rows of spurs grew over Merlin's body as he rapidly swelled up, getting unimaginably bigger. The terrifying aura of his body also grew, causing one to feel suffocated.

After Merlin had merged with over a thousand almighty beasts' will, this was the first time he had unleashed his shifted form at full strength. Even he did not know how fearsome he would be after shapeshifting.

The Candora Trio-Lords stared at the shapeshifted Merlin with mouths agape. No one could expect that he had transformed into an incomparably immense body and had grown this powerful now. His body after shapeshifting was like an enormous peak and his momentous size was not inferior to Ancestor Damon's sacred beast in the slightest.

It turned out that Merlin had reached this extent of power, which was far from what the Candora Trio-Lords could have imagined. It was not surprising that even when Merlin did not exhibit his shifted form, they were no match for him.

"This feeling of strength!"

Merlin felt that he was somewhat close to his power in the Void Zone for the first time. He was standing at the apex, having nearly unrivaled strength! After he had shapeshifted, he felt his body brimming with incomparable energy. The force of his body clashed against Ancestor Damon's and was not inferior at all. Both were evenly matched.

Ancestor Damon's face shifted slightly. He glared steadily at Merlin's shifted body. What a peculiar form. He dared to assert that no sacred beast of the ancient past had possibly looked like this.

Even so, it seemed that only sacred beasts could possess such an enormous body. Other than that, he had never heard of an almighty beast growing to this point.

"It's impossible, he can't possibly be a sacred beast! Although the force of his body is formidable, he doesn't have the world's will!"

To become a sacred beast, one must possess the world's will because originally, sacred beasts were a part of the world's will. Still, Ancestor Damon did not detect any world's will from Merlin.

"Kill."

Ancestor Damon did not hesitate. Faced with a "monstrosity" like Merlin, he wished to test how strong Merlin was. Thus, Ancestor Damon's massive body employed a primitive, direct movement, which was to barrel directly toward Merlin with its gigantic mass.

Merlin could feel his endless, boundless power throughout his body. As he stared at Ancestor Damon's Great Dragon form hurtling toward him ruthlessly, he made no evasive maneuvers at all. After all, who could evade that gigantic body?

He could only meet force with force!

"Roar…"

Merlin roared thunderously. He was clashing with a true sacred beast – the Sacred Dragon. This was a peak power in this world. Two incomparable sacred beasts viciously collided amid their roars.

"Boom."

In the capital city of the Candora Empire, everyone felt as if it was difficult to breath as a crash rang out in their minds. The collision of two unmatched sacred beasts caused a terrifying shockwave that spread mightily in all directions. Everything in its path was reduced to dust.

All was dust. No one would resist this. This was a true battle between sacred beasts, enough to destroy the land itself. Even the fallout of the fight could easily annihilate a city.

The Candora Trio-Lords were endlessly appalled and hurriedly fled backward as far as they could. They certainly dared not stay here one second longer. Whether it was Merlin or Ancestor Damon, ultimate contenders like them could not compare by far.

After the forceful clash, Merlin and Ancestor Damon each merely retreated a short distance but neither were injured. Conversely, their aggression was more inflamed. It was their first clash but they were evenly matched. No one had the upper hand.

"A sacred beast's body – so a Host can rely on their overpowering will to suppress tens of thousands of almighty beasts' will and grow into a genuine sacred beast's body!"

How incisive was Ancestor Damon's observation? Naturally, in one glance, he could discern the reason Merlin had grown so formidable. In other words, sacred beasts were an avatar of the world's will, so naturally, Merlin could not conceal his differences from Ancestor Damon.

Merlin had relied on being a Host and the superiority of his willpower to suppress and merge countless almighty beasts' will. At last, he had obtained a sacred beast's body.

Nonetheless, this was just a sacred beast's body. If one read between the lines of what Ancestor Damon had said, sacred beasts were not that straightforward.

"Again!"

This time, Merlin moved first. His gigantic bulk exploded at full might and the spurs over his body became even sharper as if they could tear through anything.

Ancestor Damon's Sacred Dragon body did not back down either. The scales of his body twinkled with radiance and the wings on his back flapped powerfully. At a greater speed than before, his immense body turned and rushed toward Merlin.

"Rumble."

In this collision, both their strength was almost twice stronger than the first time. However, this clash had disastrous results. Ancestor Damon's scales were shattered and his flesh was mutilated.

As for Merlin's spurs, half of them were snapped off. He was dripping with blood and appeared pitiful.

In this second clash, both had mobilized their greatest physical strength but both sides had suffered losses.

Chapter 1024: A Battle Between Sacred Beasts II

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

In the massive Candora Empire, many people had responded to the news and arrived on the outskirts of the capital city.

However, the current situation of the city had caused everyone to be rather dumbstruck. The capital city that had been incomparably flourishing with sturdy walls was now razed to the ground. Moreover, a gigantic pit had appeared in the middle as if some fearsome force had caused this.

In the distance, there were a few ultimate contenders of the Candora Empire. From the beginning, they had witnessed the battle in the capital city. It was this earth-shattering fight that had reduced the incomparably prosperous city to this state.

"Sacred beasts… This is the might of sacred beasts. Who coul've thought that Ancestor Damon was a great sacred beast?"

"To think that a sacred beast had been hiding among us. However, Leon is the true terror. He wasn't a hidden sacred beast and the trajectory of his growth can be traced. He was an ordinary person with no inheritance of an almighty beast bloodline but through a series of incidents, he became a Host. Things got out of hand after that. Now, he has become a grand existence that could rival a sacred beast. It's difficult to tell who's winning in his battle against Ancestor Damon. He's not backing down at all."

"In that case, to become a sacred beast, the Host's path is the correct method?"

These ultimate contenders did not mourn the capital city that was razed to the ground. Conversely, they were very excited because they had seen Merlin creating a miracle as if he had opened a wide door for them. Through this door, they learned that in the journey to become a sacred beast, only Hosts could become a great existence on par with sacred beasts.

Of course, whether Merlin was a sacred beast was no longer important. What was crucial was he possessed a strength that could compare to a sacred beast, just like now where Ancestor Damon, a Sacred Dragon, could not handle Merlin.

"Hoo…"

A breeze passed by. In the gigantic pit, two almighty beasts of immense size were facing off. Currently, both of these horrifying almighty beasts had stopped, no longer continuing to fight.

Ancestor Damon's eyes were fixed steadily upon Merlin. His heart was currently caught in turbulent waves. As a sacred beast, who even possessed the world's will, naturally, he knew many secrets. The entire continent was a Latitude Cosmos and beyond it was a wider space. The Almighty Beast World was merely a drop in the ocean.

Previously, he had not encountered any "outsiders" who came to the Almighty Beast World from another place. However, after noticing Merlin's peculiar force, he knew about Merlin's true identity. Merlin was an "outsider" who had entered the Almighty Beast World.

Nonetheless, even Ancestor Damon had not expected that this outsider, Merlin, had exploited the powers of the Almighty Beast World to grow to such a formidable extent. Even Ancestor Damon was helpless against Merlin.

After a long moment, Ancestor Damon drew in a deep breath and said coldly, "Outsider, you'd better leave quickly. You've already grown to this stage. The world is huge. You can go anywhere. Why obsess over the world's will in me?"

Ancestor Damon's words showed signs of giving in but Merlin seemed to infer something and shook his head. "I'm determined to obtain the world's will!"

This concerned whether Merlin could reinstate the Illusory World. He could not give up.

Upon seeing Merlin's resolute expression, Ancestor Damon's gaze sharpened slightly as he laughed mirthlessly. "Outsider, you think you can compare to a sacred beast? What a joke. For a true sacred beast, their greatest strength isn't their physical power but how strong the world's will that they'd obtained. If I mobilized the world's will, I'll arouse the entire Almighty Beast World's will and channel the power of the entire Almighty Beast World. Can you contend against the entire Almighty Beast World?"

This was the true strength of sacred beasts. They could mobilize the power of the world's will and the world's strength. No one could resist this.

Merlin frowned but soon, his face relaxed once more. Indeed, he was unable to contend against the Almighty Beast World's power currently. Moreover, he believed that his opponent could truly mobilize the Almighty Beast World's power because sacred beasts were equivalent to avatars of the Almighty Beast World's will.

Nonetheless, Ancestor Damon had hidden in the palace of the Candora Empire for so many years. Up until now, in the key point of the battle, Merlin had merely sensed the force of the world's will in his opponent's body but he did not notice Ancestor Damon using the world's will at all.

This was not how a sacred beast should act. In some old records, each movement from the ancient sacred beasts would come with earth-shattering force for it contained the power of the world's will.

However, at present, Ancestor Damon still had not used the world's will. Merlin had roughly surmised why.

"Ancestor Damon, as a Sacred Dragon, I'm afraid it wasn't easy for you to survive until now, right? Although I don't know what happened, you're fearful, hiding from something. In the entire Almighty Beast World, the only thing that can make you fearful and evasive is the world's will.

"Since you know I'm an outsider, then surely you know that a Latitude Cosmos' will is a unified whole. Nevertheless, the Almighty Beast World's will had been divided into many sacred beasts. This was far too strange. However, the sacred beasts gradually disappeared, probably dead. As sacred beasts, what power could be a threat to them?

"Only the world's will itself. It wanted to become a complete will, the strongest will. Therefore, after the end of an ancient era, when the sacred beasts lost their value, the world's will took back the sacred beasts' will. With that, it slowly fulfilled its own will to its strongest state, to better maintain the entire Almighty Beast World.

"Ancestor Damon, you were unwilling to give up your own world's will. I don't know how you did it but you escaped the pursuit of the world's will and hid in the Candora Empire for so many years. If you mobilize the world's will, the first one who will be troubled by the world's will would be yourself! I wonder if I've guessed correctly?"

Many thoughts had emerged in Merlin's mind. This conjecture had been going on for more than one or two days. However, Merlin had been rather bold for he had no evidence since he had never seen a true sacred beast.

However, now he had encountered a true sacred beast from the legends and had learned about the relationship between the world's will and sacred beasts. Thus, his initial assumptions were confirmed and he became more certain of his conjecture.

After listening to Merlin's composed and unhurried reasoning, Ancestor Damon's expression turned increasingly hostile. It was not that he could not conceal his thoughts but that there was no need to. He knew that Merlin had guessed correctly – he dared not mobilized the world's will now.

Once Ancestor Damon had used the world's will and was noticed by the Almighty Beast World's will, it would no longer target Merlin but him instead. His world's will would be seized first.

A sacred beast without the world's will was just an ordinary almighty beast. In the past, many sacred beasts had had their world's will stripped away and thus, vanished without a trace. Almost all had died.

Only Ancestor Damon had used some special methods to evade that disaster. Unexpectedly, he had encountered an "outsider" like Merlin, leaving him with no way out.

"What do you want?"

Damon asked with a furrowed brow.

"The world's will. I just want the world's will!"

Merlin said in a steely voice. Other than the world's will, other things were useless to him.

"Haha, the world's will and I are now one. How can I give it to you without a good cause? Even if I do, I won't be a sacred beast anymore. If you force my hand and even if I risk being discovered by the world's will, I'll mobilize the world's will within me."

Ancestor Damon's voice was firm as well. He could not hand over the world's will.

"Oh, I'm determined to get that world's will!"

With that, Merlin dashed forward, heading directly toward Ancestor Damon.

"Must I take that step?"

Ancestor Damon knew that this time, he had no way out. Therefore, he took a deep breath. A force familiar to Merlin began to appear over his body – the force of the world's will!

"Outsider, even if I'm stripped of my world's will, before that happens, you'll surely die!"

Ancestor Damon's eyes were bulging wildly. He truly could not understand why Merlin must obtain the world's will. A life and death struggle like this benefitted no one.

Even so, Merlin did not hold back at all, racing toward Ancestor Damon. Seeing that the situation could not be redeemed, Ancestor Damon could only sigh heavily then cried out, "Come, the world's will!"

"Boom."

A matchless shocking will seemed to bore down from the darkness. At once, Merlin felt a momentous threat. This was the true will of the world that being mobilized by Ancestor Damon.

"World Projection!"

Damon lowered his voice as he squeezed out each word. This was a power that all sacred beasts possessed. With their own world's will as the foundation, they brought down the World Projection of the entire Almighty Beast World, crushing anyone other than sacred beasts.

Even sacred beasts were only unaffected by the World Projection because they possessed the world's will. If one was an outsider like Merlin who did not have the world's will and who was not an avatar of the world's will, one must face a portion of the entire Almighty Beast World's power.

Although this was just a portion, it was already enough for Merlin to be caught in a difficult situation.

"Buzz buzz buzz."

The entire sky turned into a sweep of shadow and swiftly plunged into the ground. This was the World Projection. Merlin was too familiar with it. Even the Illusory World in his body was about to be suppressed.

This was the true Almighty Beast World's will!

A sharp glint flashed in Merlin's eyes. He perceived that in the darkness, the world's will that had made him endlessly fearful was slowly descending. Its goal was to take back the only remaining will of the world in Ancestor Damon's body.

Once it succeeded, the Almighty Beast World's will would truly reach a state of perfection. If Merlin wished to devour the world's will, it would be impossible.

Therefore, what Merlin could do now was seize the moment to preemptively devour the world's will in Ancestor Damon's body.

"Rumble."

The projection of the world's will immediately crashed down. Merlin felt a tremendous pressure that he was unable to resist at all. Even though his strength had improved significantly, faced with the entire projection of the world, he was still powerless.

This was the power of sacred beasts to mobilize the world's will to shatter the earth!

"Merlin! Activate the Illusory World! Even if you don't use the Illusory World, this World Projection would still pulverize you. At that point, the Illusory World would naturally be exposed. Now, your only chance is to devour the world's will in Ancestor Damon's body before the world's will can do so. Perhaps the Illusory World can recover then and able to contend against the entire Almighty Beast World's will."

Titus' voice cried out in Merlin's ear. Merlin was now in a precarious situation. He was facing Ancestor Damon's sacred beast form, who had mobilized the world's will, causing the entire world to cast down its World Projection.

Although it was merely a projection, it was not something Merlin could block now. Only by using the Illusory World and with the speed of lightning, devouring the world's will in Damon's body, would he have a chance of restoring the Illusory World.

Even if the Illusory World was not fully recovered, based on its previous power, the Almighty Beast World's will before him was not as formidable as the Void Zone's will. Back then, Merlin's Illusory World was a mighty existence that could contend against the world's will of the Void Zone. Thus, even if it was not fully recovered, it should be able to somewhat withstand the world's will, unlike when Merlin first entered the Almighty Beast World and was frantically pursued.

Ancestor Damon's gaze bore steadily into Merlin. After he had mobilized the world's will, he did not display much emotion as if he was above all else, with everything in his control.

"Return – sacred beasts are a part of the world's will in the first place. I've hidden for so many years. It's time for me to return…"

Damon had the intention of returning long ago, only he had lacked the courage. Now that he had encountered Merlin, he was not confident that he could dispose of Merlin. Therefore, he could only summon the courage to immediately activate the world's will.

Currently, the World Projection had been brought forward. After it killed Merlin, the remaining strand of the world's will would be thoroughly fused, resulting in a complete world's will that would guard this Latitude Cosmos.

However, faced with Merlin, this World Projection also seemed to turn unreal. Merlin was an outsider and would always have some unimaginable, powerful techniques.

"Illusory World, win or lose depends on this!"

Merlin soon made his decision and swiftly mobilized the Illusory World in his body. A dusky glimmer instantly blanketed the sky.

"Boom."

The entire world quaked as if a scary presence was awakening. Merlin's Illusory World was revealed once more – a complete and illusory universe that had its natural order. This was the greatest threat to a Latitude Cosmos.

At once, the Almighty Beast World's will arrived at its greatest speed.

"What… What's this?"

It was Ancestor Damon who was most shocked. He had mobilized the world's will and even brought down the projection of the world's will. This was his most powerful move as a sacred beast. In the world of sacred beasts, the world's will was an unrivaled existence. Therefore, Damon had thought that by unleashing the world's will and calling upon the World Projection, he could easily defeat Merlin. Nonetheless, now he realized that he had no way of sensing the outside world and was even cut off from the world's will.

A change like this was astonishing to Ancestor Damon. He was even at a loss of what to do. He had been in the Almighty Beast World for so many years but had never encountered a scene as strange as this. In particular, that dim glimmering layer seemed to contain a terrifying power, forming a threat to his world's will.

"Who are you?"

Damon yelled out sternly.

"You already know – I'm an outsider! Since I'm an outsider, of course, I have my ways to deal with you. Did you think that all outsiders are weak? All I want is the world's will in your body."

Merlin's eyes flashed coldly and he did not delay any further. Mobilizing the Illusory World at full strength, he had isolated Ancestor Damon.

Simultaneously, he also activated the binding powers of the Illusory World, especially the natural order's power, which forcibly extracted a portion of the world's will from Ancestor Damon's body.

This portion of the world's will was far stronger than the will contained in the Candora Magic Mirror. The will in the Magic Mirror was merely one strand but the will of the world in Ancestor Damon's body was a whole portion, containing terrifying, ultimate might. Any living creature born in this world, upon seeing this portion of the world's will, would feel a tremble deep in their hearts.

Nevertheless, Merlin was not a being born in this world. He was a noble existence that could contend against a Latitude Cosmos. Therefore, a complete strand of the world's natural order emerged in his Illusory World at once.

Although Merlin's Illusory World was merely an intangible world and had not yet materialized, he had already condensed the world's natural order – a very complete one at that.

A world's natural order was the core strength of a world as well as its mightiest asset. It was responsible for the fundamental operations of a world. Thus, once the natural order appeared, it brought with it an unstoppable crushing force, firmly suppressing this portion of the world's will.

"Boom boom boom."

In the sky, the entire Almighty Beast World seemed to go insane. The World Projection in the sky descended even faster. Merlin did not have much time left. The entire world's will might arrive at any moment now.

"Devour!"

The natural order of Merlin's world successfully crushed this portion of the world's will into smithereens and swiftly fused it with the Illusory World. At once, the Illusory World started to quickly and wildly expand. It grew by tens of thousands of miles, enlarging at an inconceivable rate.

At the same time, the initial, singular strand of the natural order, after being merged with this portion of the Almighty Beast World's will, began to condense new strands of the natural order, one after another.

When Merlin had been in the Void Zone, the Illusory World had many natural order. However, after leaving the Void Zone, the Illusory World was smashed and scattered, leaving only a small wisp of the natural order that made it into the Almighty Beast World.

By now, under the stimulation of that portion of the world's will, strands of brand new natural order were rapidly restored. With the emergence of the natural order, the Illusory World's recovery was even faster.

"Ten percent recovered!"

"Twenty percent recovered!"

…

Titus was constantly observing the restoration of the Illusory World. After fully devouring the portion of the Almighty Beast World's will, the Illusory World's rate of recovery was outrageously fast. In a very short time, it had recovered thirty percent of what it had been in full bloom.

Thirty percent of power was, of course, insufficient to contend against a Latitude Cosmos' will. Fortunately, Merlin's Illusory World was ceaselessly recovering, showing no signs of slowing down at all.

"The entire world's will has arrived. What's this outsider doing? Can he fight against the entire world's will?"

Ancestor Damon could only stare at the sky dumbly. Now he had lost his portion of the world's will and was no longer a sacred beast.

Even so, he was once a true sacred beast after all. Naturally, he could sense the entire world's will exploding at full strength, frantically heading here, gathering over Merlin in particular.

To be able to alarm the entire world's will was enough to show how scary Merlin was. This "outsider" was far more fearsome than Ancestor Damon had imagined.

"Could it be that he's going to devour the world's will?"

A wild guess flashed in Ancestor Damon's heart – Merlin was devouring the world's will, even ultimately transcending the world's will, controlling the entire Almighty Beast World.

This was the crazy plan that Ancestor Damon had thought of to avoid his world's will being taken back. However, he discovered that it was too challenging to do this. The world's will in his body was his greatest power but to use this to contend against the entire world's will was a joke. It was impossible.

As a result, Ancestor Damon had become discouraged, beginning to think of "returning" the world's will. However, he had never expected that this "outsider" could pull it off.

Of course, this was not necessarily a good thing for this world. With the maintenance of the world's will, the world could operate as usual. If Merlin devoured the world's will, would the entire world not collapse, falling into chaos?

"Rumble."

Ancestor Damon instantly retreated hundreds of miles. He could sense that the world's will was getting closer. The most terrifying thing was, the World Projection was fast arriving. This was a portion of the world's strength. Whether Merlin could block the World Projection's power was difficult to tell.

"Fifty percent! Merlin, the Illusory World had recovered fifty percent of its power. Haha, this World Projection can't do anything against you."

Titus' laughter rang out beside Merlin's ear. The Illusory World was fifty percent recovered, so the recovery speed started to dwindle.

To deal with a mere projection, a half-recovered Illusory World would not have any problems.

As the dust and smoke dispersed, Merlin was left alone in the air. He stood silently in empty space, facing the terrifying World Projection in the sky, appearing very tiny.

"Break!"

Merlin glanced at the World Projection in the sky and pointed a finger. The Illusory World's power was fully stimulated, turning into an enormous palm. Like a skyscraping giant, it viciously pushed the World Projection in the sky.

This was a true battle against the heavens, against the entire world. In a dizzying flash, Merlin felt like he was back in the Void Zone.

He knew very well that ever since he had refined the Mind Power system and walked the path of a Mind Power Master, especially having created the Illusory World, no matter which Latitude Cosmos he was in, he would ultimately walk the path of facing off the Latitude Cosmos' will.

Perhaps this was fate!

Chapter 1026: The Flawed Will of the World

This was Merlin's path. From the moment he had condensed the Illusory World, it had been determined. He and the Latitude Cosmos' will would ultimately end up in a life-and-death conflict.

"Boom."

An earth-shattering crash rang out and the entire Almighty Beast World seemed to shudder. Waves of energy spread out in all directions like ripples on water.

"Pffft."

After receiving a shove from the Illusory World that Merlin had condensed, the fearsome World Projection shattered instantly and swiftly started to dissipate. It turned into nothing and vanished into thin air.

Currently, Merlin's Illusory World had finally digested that portion of the world's will from Ancestor Damon's body. Its recovery progress was seventy percent of what it had been at its peak!

Seventy percent was a major restoration. Merlin's Illusory World was so frightening that it could go a few rounds against a Latitude Cosmos. Moreover, the current Illusory World was different now. Its barrier was no longer fragile but instead, had become more solid, not inferior to the barrier of an ordinary Latitude Cosmos at all.

Furthermore, the strands of the world's natural order that were condensed had integrated into the natural order of the Illusory World, the Void Zone, and the Almighty Beast World, thus producing this natural order.

One of the aspects that Merlin had incorporated was the sturdy space in the Almighty Beast World. Therefore, the newly recovered Illusory World's space was far more stable than before.

Merlin's every step was a preparation to materialize the Illusory World in the future.

The sky above the Candora Empire was changing and volatile. Following the defeat of world's will and World Projection, the threatening force did not lessen but instead, grew more intense.

In particular, the approaching will was even more fearsome, causing everyone to feel insignificant.

Ancestor Damon looked up toward the sky and mumbled, "It has arrived at last!"

Naturally, Ancestor Damon could sense that the Almighty Beast World's will had finally arrived. However, it was a shame that the portion of the will, which he had wanted to merge with the Almighty Beast World's will, had been devoured and fused by Merlin.

By now, Ancestor Damon was aware of the threat posed by an "outsider" like Merlin. This threat toward the entire Almighty Beast World was far greater than the splitting of the world's will into different portions.

"Merlin, the Almighty Beast World's will has arrived. The Illusory World has recovered by seventy percent now. This world's will isn't complete and it's much weaker than the Void Zone's will. So, this is possibly very dangerous but it's an opportunity. If you can devour the Almighty Beast World's will, even just a small bit, it'll bring unimaginable benefits to the Illusory World. I feel that the turning point of the Illusory World's evolution is this world's will…"

Titus' voice reverberated in Merlin's ear. As the first Mind Power Master to condense an Illusory World, Titus knew very well the features of the Illusory World.

In particular, he had always stayed in the Illusory World so his understanding of the Illusory World was only second to Merlin. He could detect that the world's will would bring various benefits to the Illusory World.

The Illusory World that had undergone seventy percent recovery had a fighting chance against the incomplete Almighty Beast World's will!

"Hum hum hum."

The initially sunny sky darkened. At the same time, gigantic vortexes appeared in the sky, "glaring" at Merlin as if it possessed multiple eyes.

The world's will had arrived, mobilizing the power of the entire world. Merlin had once experienced the might of the Almighty Beast World.

Merlin's body floated silently in the air, surrounded by a layer of dim light. It seemed like any energy that entered this region would be distorted.

This was the Illusory World, stimulated to its limit. It was also the greatest strength that could protect Merlin. Any attack that entered the Illusory World would be broken down and ultimately overcome by the Illusory World.

Currently, only the Almighty Beast World's will could pose a threat to Merlin.

As he stared at the world's will in the sky, Merlin knew that this was the final battle, just like the previous time with the Void Zone. This was an unavoidable path. This time, if he was unable to defeat the Almighty Beast World's will, he might have no way of keeping the Illusory World's natural order intact. Once the Illusory World was vanquished, Merlin would die.

The Illusory World had become one with Merlin long ago. They were indistinguishable.

Merlin drew in a deep breath and stared steadily at the Almighty Beast World's will, extending his consciousness forward. This was a Latitude Cosmos' instinctual will but Merlin could detect the "fury" contained within the instinct of this world's will.

This was the Almighty Beast World's will. Its instinct had sensed the danger, so it was furious toward Merlin.

"Rumble."

Massive bolts of lightning crashed down viciously from the sky, forming a colossal lightning net. It flickered frenziedly as it descended upon Merlin.

This was the true power of the heavens and earth, encompassing the energy of the entire Almighty Beast World.

Nonetheless, after the lightning landed upon the Illusory World, it was easily routed by the Illusory World's strength. Merlin was not fighting alone. He was supported by a world too. Although it was an illusory world, it possessed the power of its natural order and could contend against a Latitude Cosmos!

Other than lightning, there was an incredible gale that swept over the entire land, smashing everything to pieces. Even a sacred beast like Ancestor Damon could not withstand such a terrifying gale.

However, in the Illusory World, Merlin merely felt some ripples before they faded completely and calmness resumed. This did not affect Merlin at all.

"The Almighty Beast World's will is nothing more than this!"

Throughout this ordeal, Merlin did not move an inch. He was waiting for the Almighty Beast World's will to use its greatest strength. At the moment, it had utilized the power of the entire world but could do nothing against Merlin. Thus, there was only one way, which was to use the full will of the world to directly smash Merlin's consciousness.

This was the most direct measure an ordinary Latitude Cosmos would take against an external threat. It was also the most effective method.

Nonetheless, Merlin had been waiting for the Almighty Beast World's will to attack because only then would he have the chance to devour the Almighty Beast World's will and reinstate the Illusory World. This step forward was vital to complete the final evolution of the Illusory World!

Of course, this final step was the riskiest. Merlin had no guarantee at all. If he was unable to devour the Almighty Beast World's will, he would die.

"Come on!"

Merlin took a deep breath and assembled the full power of the Illusory World, especially its natural order. This was the foundation of the Illusory World. He knew that the world's will would arrive soon.

"Boom."

At last, a mighty, vast, intense will that seemed endless and unstoppable crashed into the Illusory World brazenly.

In the instant following the invasion of this will, the entire Illusory World trembled violently as if it would split apart and dissipate thoroughly at any time.

"The Almighty Beast World's will!"

Merlin's heart leaped and he immediately knew that this was the Almighty Beast World's will – the will of the entire world, a Latitude Cosmos' greatest power.

Since Merlin was an outsider, the Almighty Beast World's will only had the instinct to destroy and wipe out Merlin. It would not spare him at all. Thus, once the world's will entered the Illusory World, it instantly exploded.

"Merlin, the Illusory World is about to collapse!"

In the Illusory World, Titus noticed the Illusory World's turbulence as if it would crumble in the next instant. At this point, Merlin must act.

"Illusory World, devour!"

The Illusory World's natural order instantly erupted and even fused with Merlin's will. It exploded at once and the entire Illusory World seemed to gather its final strength to unleash its greatest strike.

The boundless will of the world caused Merlin to feel "at a loss". He seemed unable to find any cracks, unable to devour the Almighty Beast World's will.

The Almighty Beast World's will was a single entity and it was very formidable. Merlin did not know where to start and had no way of devouring even a strand of the world's will.

At that moment, countless thoughts flashed through Merlin's mind. He knew that this was a matter of life and death. He must not hesitate in the slightest and must think of a plan soon.

"The Almighty Beast World's will can't possibly be complete. Otherwise, where did the will from Ancestor Damon's body come from? As long as I can find that part where the portion of the world's will is missing, I'll have a chance of swallowing some of the world's will."

A bright insight flashed in Merlin's mind. He recalled that portion of the world's will in Ancestor Damon that he had consumed. In that case, the Almighty Beast World's will could not possibly be a complete whole. There must be a flaw.

With this in mind, Merlin patiently started his search, especially since he was still in the Illusory World. As long as the Illusory World had not collapsed, for now, he could look through all places.

The Almighty Beast World's will was no exception. In the Illusory World, especially with Merlin's focused search, he soon found a defect in the Almighty Beast World's will.

It was very well hidden by the Almighty Beast World's will but was now discovered by Merlin. This was Merlin's chance – his only chance.

"Illusory World, devour. Stop at nothing, just devour!"

Merlin would stop at nothing, mobilizing the Illusory World's final strength. The natural order's power exploded and for a moment, steadily resisted the destruction of the Almighty Beast World's will.

Furthermore, it had traced the flaw in the Almighty Beast World's will and started to wildly devour with nothing holding its back.

Initially, the Almighty Beast World's will had been a single, unified entity but it was incomplete after all. Finally, after Merlin had frenziedly devoured at all costs, it finally showed a sign of loosening.

Wisps of the world's will – although just a small amount, was truly the world's will. Merlin's Illusory World started to devour it bit by bit.

At that moment, the Illusory World that had suffered massive devastation began to rapidly stabilize and gradually recover. As for the Almighty Beast World's will, it slowly started to "weaken".

"I did it?"

Merlin was delighted by this turn of events as he carefully observed the Almighty Beast World's will that was being devoured by the Illusory World.

Chapter 1027: The Death of the World

How immense was a Latitude Cosmos' will? How terrifying would it be? Nonetheless, it had a flaw. Merlin had seized the chance, stopping at nothing to slowly devour and merge.

"Rumble."

The entire sky was filled with thunder and lightning. Space itself was shuddering and the wind howled as if it was crying.

This was the mournful wail of the world's will. The portion of the world's will in Ancestor Damon's body had been a missing piece. A small leak would sink a great ship. Even though it was just a portion of the world's will, it was ultimately incomplete. Thus, Merlin had found his chance and started to frantically devour.

A chance like this came once in a blue moon. Perhaps there were no other Latitude Cosmos that was like the Almighty Beast World, which had split its own will into a few parts. This was the chance Merlin had seized.

As time passed by, Merlin did not give up on devouring. Conversely, his pace of consumption increased. In a short while, the Illusory World was eighty percent recovered!

Moreover, it was continuing its recovery while the Almighty Beast World's will kept deteriorating without stopping. Struggling out of Merlin's devouring was no longer possible.

"Haha, just like that. Devour some more. It's not too much to hope that the Illusory World can be fully restored. Progress one step further!"

Titus' excited voice rang out. The Illusory World was ceaselessly recovering and he could sense it the clearest. It was eighty percent restored and was going strong. Based on this speed, reinstating it to its previous glory was not a problem. At that point, it might have only used up a portion of the world's will.

If Merlin devoured the entire world's will, the Illusory World could take that final step and evolve thoroughly. This was the objective that Merlin could not accomplish in the previous world.

"What have I done?"

Ancestor Damon stared at the sky, dumbstruck, at Merlin whose force was growing stronger. Conversely, the force from the world's will was getting weaker.

Maybe he had never dared to imagine that someone could contend against the world's will. In the present situation, the world's will was doing its utmost to stop Merlin's devouring.

One day, two days…

The changes of the Candora Empire naturally attracted the attention of ultimate contenders from neighboring countries. In the entire continent, the Candora Empire was considered to be one of the relatively mighty empires.

Now, the capital city was razed to the ground and the other changes had induced momentous transformations throughout the land.

Still, when these ultimate contenders came, they could only stare with mouths agape at Merlin, who was becoming stronger at an outrageous pace.

"Boom."

Finally, after an unknown amount of time, Merlin's Illusory World was fully restored. At this point, he no longer had to fear any Latitude Cosmos. Even if he returned to the Void Zone, he could contend against it by using the Illusory World.

Merlin was able to contend against any Latitude Cosmos!

Nevertheless, he could only contend and was far from matching up to Aruba. Back then, Aruba had traveled through countless Latitude Cosmos. If he wished to, he could easily destroy one Latitude Cosmos after another.

Moreover, although these Latitude Cosmos could do nothing against Merlin, these Latitude Cosmos' will could do the same thing the Void Zone's will had done – directly "throw" Merlin out.

In the past, Merlin was flung out of the Void Zone and narrowly escaped with his life, arriving to the Almighty Beast World. Therefore, Merlin was not strong enough unless he could materialize the Illusory World as reality.

Of course, the remnant will of the current Almighty Beast World was not able to "throw" Merlin out, so Merlin could relax and devour boldly.

After the recovery of the Illusory World, Merlin's devouring speed was even faster. He could feel that his Illusory World was becoming stronger at every passing second as if it never had a limit.

"Where are the limits of this Illusory World?"

Merlin's heart stirred. He might as well unleash the Illusory World, allowing it to expand to the best of its capabilities. At once, the Illusory World started to swell rapidly, swiftly covering the entire Candora Empire. Soon, it spread out in all directions as if blanketing the entire Almighty Beast World.

This was a vast and colossal world. After Merlin had covered it, he felt that this world seemed to have a pulse as if the world itself was a living being.

"A Latitude Cosmos is a living being?"

Merlin's consciousness descended into a strange state. He did not notice this in the slightest. At this point, the Almighty Beast World's will was being devoured at a greater speed while his Illusory World was growing exponentially.

One month, two months…

No one could approach the place where Merlin was. Even when the ultimate contenders had exerted all effort, they had no way of getting close. There was only a tiny bit of the Almighty Beast World's will left, and it started to become incomparably derelict.

"Buzz."

Suddenly, when the final strand of the Almighty Beast World's will was completely devoured, the entire Almighty Beast World trembled slightly. Then, nothing special happened. The world did not collapse and there were no terrifying disasters.

It appeared as if the world's will had never affected this world.

Nevertheless, Merlin knew that the Almighty Beast World was already dead. The world's will was the core of each Latitude Cosmos as it had a "life".

Having lost the world's will was equivalent to being dead. Perhaps one would see no changes for a while but as a century, a millennium or even ten millennia had passed by, this world would slowly wither, crumble, and finally fade away completely. No one could redeem it.

"Life…"

Merlin was still clinging on to the word "life". He was preoccupied with his Illusory World. To materialize it as reality, he must insert a "will" into the Illusory World, which was like giving it life.

"My will is the Illusory World's will!"

Merlin's voice reverberated throughout the Illusory World. His Illusory World had surpassed the Almighty Beast World to a large extent. Even so, he had still been unable to materialize it. It was due to this final, most crucial step, to insert a will into the Illusory World, giving it "life".

As the creator of the Illusory World, Merlin's will was the will of the entire Illusory World!

After thinking this through, the entire Illusory World began to churn. The layers of light from the world's barrier seemed about to "materialize".

"Merlin, quick, you must leave the Almighty Beast World. The Illusory World has finally reached the stage of being materialized as reality. Haha, this is the last step. Once you succeed, I'll truly be resurrected!"

Titus' excitement was matchless. From the Void Zone to the current Almighty Beast World, Merlin had gone through tribulations that ordinary people could not even imagine. Today, his Illusory World had finally reached the final stage.

If they remained in the Almighty Beast World, it would be very dangerous. Once Merlin's Illusory World was materialized as reality, the energy that would explode in an instant could crush the Almighty Beast World to smithereens. After all, the current Almighty Beast World did not even have a world's will. It was most fragile.

Although the Almighty Beast World was fated to "die off" in the future not too far away, there was still Lisa and the Holy Dragon Empire, many people whom Merlin was familiar with. Therefore, Merlin would not annihilate the Almighty Beast World.

To prevent destroying the Almighty Beast World, he could only leave!

Merlin drew in a deep breath and cast another glance into the direction of the Holy Dragon Empire, a part of the world he was familiar with. Although he had not stayed for long, he had developed a deep affection for it.

Nonetheless, he must leave in the end.

"Swoosh."

Merlin exited in one step. The Illusory World was instantly retracted into Merlin's body. Merlin had broken and casually traveled through the solid space.

The barrier of the Almighty Beast World was easily torn apart by Merlin. As he stared at this gigantic gap, Merlin had no hesitations and stepped out.

"Swoosh."

The endless deep black space – Merlin had left a Latitude Cosmos once again. The last time, it was the Void Zone that had forcefully "expelled" him.

This time, it was Merlin who tore open the world's barrier, departing from the Almighty Beast World on his own will. He turned back and could still see the colossal outline of the Almighty Beast World. Even so, the current Almighty Beast World had lost all of its "vitality", appearing dull and lifeless. After some time, which might be one millennium or ten, it would die and thus vanish completely.

Back then, when Merlin was entering the Almighty Beast World, he had discovered that surrounding it were Latitude Cosmos even more enormous than the Almighty Beast World. These Latitude Cosmos still had not changed even now.

To Merlin, more than a century might be considered a lengthy period. However, to a Latitude Cosmos, a long period like a thousand or ten thousand years was not even worth mentioning. Perhaps it was only the twinkle of an eye.

Most Latitude Cosmos used a hundred million years as a unit. Who knew how long they had been existing? Ordinary people would find it difficult to fathom this great mystery.

As Merlin looked at this pitch-black vacuum, he nodded in satisfaction. Now, no matter how great of a commotion he had caused, no matter how big his Illusory World was, there would be no obstacles.

Right now was the key moment. The Illusory World would be materialized as reality. This was a path that Merlin had concluded. Whether he succeeded could only be known by trying.

"Illusory World!"

Merlin immediately released the Illusory World. The intangible Illusory World hovered majestically in the silent, unfamiliar space. The Illusory World that was fully unleashed, in terms of its scale, was nearly one size larger than the Almighty Beast World. It was about the size of the Void Zone.

"Come on, insert the will! My will is the Illusory World's will!"

Merlin stood quietly in the Illusory World. The final step was to insert a will. Without any reservations, he inserted all of his own will into the Illusory World.

"Boom."

In an instant, the entire Illusory World started to quake violently.

Chapter 1028: Controllers and Free Beings

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

The Illusory World was expanding without limits. Merlin seemed to sense that the Illusory World had a unique connection to him. Initially, Merlin was controlling the Illusory World but now, there was a will that was resuscitated.

Although this will was so familiar to Merlin, there was still a difference because this was a brand new will.

"The Illusory World's will…"

After Merlin spoke, the entire Illusory World shuddered violently, following which the world's barrier that had lain between reality and illusion was finally materialized all at once. It could be touched. This was a true world's barrier.

Simultaneously, everything in the Illusory World had transformed into reality. Merlin seemed to be right in the middle of a genuine Latitude Cosmos. Still, although Merlin had not stayed in this Latitude Cosmos, he was able to control every part of it as if he was familiar with every corner.

This was because this world belonged solely to Merlin!

Materializing as reality – today, Merlin had finally done it!

"Haha, it's truly materialized as reality. My predictions were right. The Mind Power system has reached a high point of accomplishment at last. Haha, I can finally come back to life!"

Titus' voice resounded throughout the entire Illusory World. In the past, Merlin knew that Titus had only left behind a strand of Mind Power in the Illusory World, all for this moment.

Now, this moment had finally arrived.

Merlin's heart leaped. As the ruler of the Illusory World, he had control over it. The current him was no different from Aruba back then. He could mobilize the immense power of a Latitude Cosmos.

"Titus, it's now time for me to honor what I've promised you in the past. Resurrect!"

Merlin's heart moved with this thought. Presently, he was dubbed as someone who controlled a Latitude Cosmos. Naturally, he knew very well that reviving Titus who had always existed in his world was a walk in the park.

"Buzz."

In the Illusory World, a figure swiftly emerged. Moreover, his body started to form. Initially, Titus was merely a strand of Mind Power but Merlin had grasped the essence of materialization. Therefore, he helped materialize this strand of Mind Power, Titus, as reality. Reinstating Titus did not take up much effort at all.

"Swoosh."

Soon, a body was already condensed in the Illusory World. It was based on Titus' appearance when he was just a strand of Mind Power. It looked the same and was extremely realistic.

"I… I'm truly revived?"

Titus stretched out a hand, his eyes burning with incredulity. It had been so many years. If he had not met Merlin by chance in the Slothful Beast, he would never have experienced this day.

Merlin nodded, feeling pleased. The resurrected Titus was very frail and he must start from the beginning if he wanted to condense a new Illusory World. Nonetheless, in the Illusory World, with Merlin to bless him with advantageous conditions, soon, Titus would surely be able to condense a new Illusory World.

After all, it was Titus who had founded the Mind Power system. Merlin had merely refined it.

"Merlin, most Latitude Cosmos can no longer do anything against the current you. What are your plans?"

Titus gradually subdued his excitement momentarily and asked softly.

"Plans?"

Merlin stared at the silent, empty space. By now, he had become a noble existence like Aruba. No Latitude Cosmos could confine him. Perhaps he should, like Aruba, visit all Latitude Cosmos one by one, experiencing the differences of each Latitude Cosmos.

"Haha, at last, has someone struggled free of the Latitude Cosmos?"

Suddenly, in this dark, quiet vacuum, a carefree laugh reverberated beside Merlin's ear, getting closer. At the same time, a figure abruptly appeared beside Merlin.

Merlin stood in empty space, feeling no trace of fear because he had detected the other person's familiar aura.

"Aruba, we meet again."

Merlin said with a hint of a smile. He had encountered Aruba again. This was a Latitude traveler who had single-handedly founded the Spell Caster civilization. Perhaps, creating the Spell Caster civilization back then was just an off-handed act on Aruba's part and he had forgotten about it. Nonetheless, Merlin had begun his journey as a Spell Caster. From that point onward, Merlin already had a mysterious, inexorable link to Aruba.

"Huh? Do you know me?"

Aruba carefully peered at Merlin. He no longer recognized Merlin. After all, the Void Zone he had visited was merely an unremarkable world in his long life. Why would he take note of Merlin?

"Aruba, you no longer know me. Do you know the Void Zone?"

"The Void Zone?"

Aruba revisited his recollections. Soon, his memories about the Void Zone emerged in his mind. He slowly opened his mouth as if he dared not believe this.

"You… You're that small fellow? Merlin?"

Aruba finally remembered. Back in the Void Zone, he had casually planted a seed which resulted into something. Someone had struggled free of the Latitude Cosmos.

"That's right, I'm Merlin!"

"Haha, well done, very well done. I've traveled through countless worlds and the seeds I've sown casually has reached tens of thousands. Until now, no one was able to break free of their Latitude Cosmos. I never expected that you, whom I didn't think very highly of, are able to reach the point where countless creatures and millions of geniuses could not reach. You've gotten free of your Latitude Cosmos, becoming a Free Being. Haha, you've broken loose from the Void Zone, right? I remember that the Void Zone is far away from this place. How come you're here?"

Aruba glanced behind Merlin and his eyes suddenly popped wide open.

"This… There was no Latitude Cosmos here before. Why is there one suddenly? Moreover, the force of this Latitude Cosmos is almost identical to yours?"

Aruba seemed to have guessed something, his eyes bulging with astonishment.

Merlin gradually replied, "This world is called the Illusory World, a world I created and materialized as reality. Now, it has become a real world, controlled by me!"

After saying this, Merlin smiled slightly. The Illusory World could be endlessly large or endlessly tiny. Although it had been materialized, it was still transformed from Merlin's Mind Power. Thus, with Merlin's single thought, the incomparably colossal Illusory World would swiftly shrink, immediately withdrawn by Merlin into his body.

The Illusory World still existed but had entered Merlin's body through some method. This was equivalent to Merlin carrying around a world at all times, able to utilize the power of the entire Illusory World at any time. His strength seemed matchless.

"A Controller, you've become a Controller!"

Aruba appeared to be very taken aback and his gaze toward Merlin even revealed a trace of bewilderment and respect!

It was true. Merlin had noticed a sense of "respect" in Aruba's gaze. This Latitude traveler had possessed inconceivable power, visited an unknown number of Latitude Cosmos, and witnessed an unknown number of prodigies. He stood at the peak, the apex, and was practically unrivaled. However, he had given a respectful look toward Merlin, who had just materialized the Illusory World as reality. Naturally, Merlin was very curious.

"Controller, what's a Controller? Aruba, didn't you once say that in so many Latitude Cosmos, only you had broken your Latitude Cosmos and become a Latitude traveler? Are you also a Controller?"

Merlin asked, frowning. He had always felt that Aruba still had plenty of significant secrets he did not know.

"Me, a Controller? I'm just an ordinary Free Being. A Controller – only a myriad of Latitude Regions could produce one Controller. I never thought that I would indirectly 'create' a mighty Controller!"

Aruba let out a deep sigh to the sky, his eyes filled with an emotional glint.

"Controller? Free Being? Latitude Regions? Aruba, could it be that you haven't reached the highest peak and that in the countless Latitude Cosmos, it's not just us who had left our Latitude Cosmos?"

Merlin asked hurriedly.

"Haha, Merlin, don't worry. Today, you've become a Controller. Naturally, I'll let you know about something. You're a noble Controller. Of course, you know how difficult it is to become a Controller. Controlling a Latitude Cosmos, no matter in what manner, is an impressive feat. As long as you have perfect control over a Latitude Cosmos, you're known as a Controller.

"As for someone like me, who directly broke the Latitude Cosmos and left it – I'm called a Free Being. We've merely broken free of our Latitude Cosmos. Perhaps our strength is unrivaled and overpowering, and perhaps we might be even stronger than Controller in the beginning. However, in the later phases, as time passes, Controllers can rely on controlling world to constantly expand it and thus, swiftly increasing your strength. In the end, Controllers will typically rise above Free Beings. After all, it's immensely difficult for Free Beings to increase their strength.

"As for Latitude Regions, it's very simple. These Latitude Cosmos you see are generally clustered together. This is a region. It has more than ten thousand Latitude Cosmos. A large-scale region would have even more Latitude Cosmos. This region is, in fact, a Latitude Region."

After a pause, Aruba's eyes softened into an admiring look and he sighed deeply. "Usually, one Latitude Region can only give birth to one Free Being. As for Controllers, it generally takes more than ten thousand Latitude Regions to produce one. Back then, I was born in this Latitude Region and I was the only Free Being. I never expected that a Controller would be born here. It's an impressive, momentous development, haha."

As for Merlin, the depths of his heart were stirred up by a storm. He had thought that by materializing the Illusory World as reality and becoming a Latitude traveler, he would stand at the peak.

However, after listening to what Aruba had said, he learned that before him, there was an even wider universe. The vast, boundless Latitude Regions, the incomparably formidable Free Beings, and Controllers – all of these were so novel to Merlin.

Chapter 1029: Central Region Major Cosmos

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

For the first time, Merlin felt that he was insignificant. When he first met Aruba, Aruba had introduced the concept of the Latitude Cosmos to him. At that time, Merlin had felt that his world was too small and his vision was too narrow.

Now, after great difficulties, he had finally transformed the Illusory World into a real Latitude Cosmos. He had thought that by relying on this Latitude Cosmos, he had reached the peak and could travel to countless Latitude Cosmoses with Aruba, becoming a Latitude traveler.

However, it seemed that there was an even more vast world before him.

"Merlin, don't sigh. It was not easy for me to break free of the Latitude Cosmos in the beginning. When I first learned about this, I felt the same way. However, you'll soon like this feeling. Haha, even Free Beings like us are great existences in controlling hundreds of millions of creatures. Of course, you Controllers are even more powerful."

Aruba's gaze at Merlin was slightly strange. A Controller was usually only produced once every tens of thousands of Latitude Cosmoses. Even Aruba himself had not seen many Controllers. Many of them were Free Beings but unexpectedly, a Controller had now been born in his Latitude Cosmos.

"Merlin, let's go. I'll take you to the Central Region Major Cosmos. Its the center of numerous Latitude Regions and also the most prosperous place. It'll help you understand the entire Latitude Region."

Aruba brought Merlin and flew into the dark void. Both of them were extremely fast. Aruba relied entirely on his power but Merlin saved his energy and used a little power from the Illusory World in his body. The Illusory World would be able to recover this little power, so the amount consumed was negligible.

This was also a Controller's strength.

Merlin had just become a Controller and did not know much about a Controller's abilities. Now that he met Aruba, he would naturally ask for advice.

Therefore, along the way, Merlin asked advice from Aruba carefully. Aruba also answered everything he could, explaining in detail about some mysterious abilities of Controllers and Free Beings.

Free Beings and Controllers were two different types of great existences who walked in different directions. Free Beings paid attention to their own strength and relied on their strength to break up countless Latitude Cosmoses. Only when their strength was strong to a certain extent would the Latitude Cosmos be unable to contain them anymore and cause them to become Free Beings.

The benefit of being a Free Being was the great advantage they had when breaking free of a Latitude Cosmos. However, after becoming a Free Being, it would take a long time to improve their strength further.

A Controller was different. A Controller started out from the route of controlling an entire Latitude Cosmos. This Latitude Cosmos must be a complete Latitude Cosmos and have its will and needed to be replaced.

As a result, most Free Beings were killed by the Latitude Cosmos' will before they became Controllers. There were very few who could become Controllers.

Even if they gradually grew strong, it was almost impossible to completely replace a Latitude Cosmos with a complete will. It was the same in the Void Zone and the Almighty Beast World. It was too difficult to replace the world's will and control the Latitude Cosmos. Even Merlin could not do it now.

Merlin only encountered the Almighty Beast World that had an incomplete will by chance, which gave him the opportunity to devour the world's will. However, this was not replacing the Almighty Beast World's will and he could not control the Almighty Beast World. On the other hand, Merlin controlled the Illusory World which he had formed and could materialize illusions into reality.

To some extent, controlling a world like this was more dependable compared to taking pains to replace a world's will to control a Latitude Cosmos. Merlin's ability to become a Controller was a result of various opportunities and coincidences, which ultimately lead to a difficult success.

It would be impossible if he wanted to reproduce it.

Controllers could look for a world with a broken will or a very weak world and devour the world's will. Only this way could the Controller's world expand rapidly. Their strength would also multiply far faster than a Free Being's.

Of course, a regular Latitude Cosmos was like the surrounding Latitude Cosmoses. Even with Merlin's current strength, he could not devour any of them because their will was complete. If Merlin wanted to devour them, he had to be ten times or even a hundred times stronger. Hence, it was extremely tough.

Destroying a Latitude Cosmos was easy but it was almost impossible to forcibly devour the will of a complete Latitude Cosmos. Even so, a Controller would be able to improve his strength much faster than a Free Being.

Along the way, what Merlin learned was only the tip of the iceberg. Merlin could only slowly learn everything else when he had reached the Central Region Major Cosmos.

Although the two were extremely fast, the distance was too far away. It would take hundreds or even thousands of years to reach via flying. However, Merlin's lifespan was endless at this state. As long as he did not meet any accidents, he would continue to live.

Therefore, hundreds of years were not worth mentioning at all.

Finally, eight hundred years had passed before Merlin finally saw a mass like a nebula in front of him. This was a Latitude Cosmos but it was larger than any other Latitude Cosmos and even a Latitude Region could not compare to it.

"Merlin, we've arrived at the Central Region Major Cosmos!"

Aruba patted Merlin's shoulder and said with a smile.

Merlin was shocked looking at this vast world. Generally, a Latitude Region consisted of tens of thousands or more of Latitude Cosmoses and was boundlessly huge.

However, this vast Central Region Major Cosmos was only a single Latitude Cosmos but it seemed that even a Latitude Region could not match its size.

"Aruba, how large is the Central Region Major Cosmos?"

"How large?"

Aruba was taken aback and shook his head. "The Central Region Major Cosmos is at least as large as hundreds of Latitude Regions and is expanding every year. I'm afraid no one knows how large the Central Region Major Cosmos is except the Central Region Major Cosmos' Absolute Being, Sir Tyron."

"Hm? It's larger than hundreds of Latitude Regions not Latitude Cosmoses?"

Merlin was very shocked. Tens of thousands of Latitude Cosmoses formed one Latitude Region but that was considered an extremely small Latitude Region. A powerful Latitude Region would consist of tens of thousands or more Latitude Cosmoses.

However, this Central Region Major Cosmos was only a Latitude Cosmos but it was larger than hundreds of Latitude Regions. It was beyond Merlin's imagination.

"Yes, it's hundreds of Latitude Regions. It's also the King of the Major Cosmoses. Merlin, you may not know but the gap between Controllers is very obvious. Generally, Controllers only control a very ordinary Latitude Cosmos. Most Controllers are at this point. However, after expanding the Latitude Cosmos to the size of around ten or a hundred Latitude Cosmoses, it can't be called a Minor Cosmos.

"Above Minor Cosmoses, there are Medium Cosmoses. A Medium Cosmos has at least thousands of Latitude Cosmoses. Above that is a Major Cosmos, which has at least ten thousand Latitude Cosmoses.

"Controllers of Major Cosmoses are extremely rare and stand at the peak. However, the ones at the apex are the five top Absolute Beings. Each of their worlds is as large as hundreds of Latitude Regions. They guard the five directions, namely the Eastern Region Major Cosmos, Western Region Major Cosmos, Southern Region Major Cosmos, Northern Region Major Cosmos, and the Central Region Major Cosmos."

Merlin's heart swelled with emotion. The five Major Cosmoses were the highest existences. The Illusory World he controlled now was not even considered a Minor Cosmos.

"This… What about Free Beings? What level can the strongest reach?"

Merlin asked in a low voice. He already knew that Controllers had the upper hand and stood at the peak of strength despite numbering much lesser than that of Free Beings.

Aruba's eyes brightened as he said, "The strongest Free Being is Sir Monta, who's comparable to an Absolute Being. However, he's still far from the five strongest Controllers"

The strongest Free Being could only rival an Absolute Being. This was considered very impressive for a Free Being but the gap between him and the five strongest Controllers was too obvious. The top five Controllers were the greatest existences among hundreds of Latitude Regions.

Only now did Merlin know that powerful Controllers were this terrifying.

Seeing the look on Merlin's face, Aruba said with a big smile, "Haha, Merlin, now you know how amazing Controllers are. Both you and I are still at the weakest stage but your potential far surpasses me.

"Let's go, I'll take you to some of my old friends. Haha, my Ruba Latitude Region produced a Controller. Let's see if those old coots can top this achievement."

Aruba looked excited and immediately took Merlin, flying into the Central Region Major Cosmos.

Chapter 1030: Introduction

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Immediately after flying into the Central Region Major Cosmos, Merlin felt an extremely strong pressure as if he could be crushed at any moment.

Furthermore, Merlin could not resist this pressure at all.

"Do you feel it?"

Aruba seemed to have a vague smile as he asked.

"I do. The pressure of the Central Region Major Cosmos is immense."

Aruba nodded and said meaningfully, "No matter how big the Central Region Major Cosmos is, it's still Sir Tyron's Latitude Cosmos. Once you enter, you'll be suppressed by the entire world. That's why neither Free Beings nor Controllers should try to enter another Latitude Cosmos."

Merlin nodded. If others entered his Illusory World, he would naturally have some advantages over them.

"However, you don't have to worry about the Central Region Major Cosmos. Sir Tyron is already an existence standing at the peak, so who can stand up to him? The Central Region Major Cosmos is the safest place."

Aruba introduced the situation in the Central Region Major Cosmos. It was in the center and surrounded by countless other Latitude Regions, so there were many people around.

However, although Merlin had imagined that they would encounter Free Beings and Controllers everywhere, they had hardly seen any even after flying for such a long time.

On the contrary, they were all ordinary people. Of course, these ordinary people had some peculiar powers. However, they were insignificant compared to Free Beings or Controllers.

"Are there ordinary people in the Central Region Major Cosmos?"

Merlin asked in surprise.

"Haha, of course, there is. Is there no life in your Illusory World? These ordinary people are locals of the Central Region Major Cosmos. However, they're already used to us."

Aruba explained.

"Isn't the Central Region Major Cosmos the center of countless Latitude Regions? Why haven't we met even a single Free Being or Controller?"

The situation here was quite different from Merlin's imagination.

"Haha, one Latitude Region might only produce one Free Being and the Central Region Major Cosmos is equivalent to hundreds of Latitude Regions. How many Free Beings do you think can gather? Did you think it'll be easy to encounter Free Beings? Even in the Central Region Major Cosmos, Free Beings and Controllers are supreme and great existences."

Merlin nodded silently. He had not thought about that before but now that he did, it made sense. Free Beings and Controllers were extremely noble and were considered grand existences even in the Central Region Major Cosmos, so how would he encounter them easily?

"Right, we're here. Hehe, Merlin, those old friends of mine are Free Beings. I'll introduce you to them."

Aruba finally arrived at a towering mountain that rose to the skies. It towered over everything and there were very few people around.

However, Merlin could feel a few powerful life forces at the top of the mountain.

"Swoosh swoosh."

Merlin followed Aruba and flew to the top of the mountain. On top of the mountain was a magnificent palace. Immediately after entering the palace, Merlin heard an outspoken voice, "Haha, Aruba, we haven't seen you in more than a hundred latitude years."

Latitude years were a unique way for Free Beings and Controllers to number the years. A latitude year was the time it took for an ordinary Free Being to fly all over an ordinary Latitude Region.

If converted to the time in the Void Zone or the Almighty Beast World, one latitude year would be around one hundred and eighty million years. The lifespan of these Free Beings was endless, so time was just a number to them.

"That's right. We haven't met in one hundred and eight latitude years. Is it just the three of you here?"

Aruba's eyes swept the palace and found that there were only three Free Beings. They were all his old friends.

"They…"

After hearing Aruba's words, the three powerful Free Beings stiffened and grew downcast.

"What? What happened to them?"

Aruba's expression cooled. He already had a bad feeling.

"Aruba, Bajakah and Mocas are dead!"

"Boom."

Aruba's expression changed greatly. Two of his five old friends had died and only three were left. How could this be?

"They're powerful Free Beings. Who could have killed them? Who was it?"

Aruba's voice trembled. He was extremely emotional and his body exuded a strong killing intent. If a Free Being went on a rampage, he could destroy countless Latitude Cosmoses. For a grand existence who could destroy even a Latitude Cosmos, how would one be killed that easily?

"It was the Controller from the Naya Latitude Region, Naya!"

The three Free Beings said angrily. They had found a new Latitude Cosmos with a very weak will in a mysterious Latitude Region, so the five Free Beings had prepared to capture this Latitude Cosmos. Although they were Free Beings, they could not devour a world's will. However, this was still a newly born Latitude Cosmos, so capturing it and selling it off would also be very profitable.

However, at that time, they happened to meet Naya. He had a Minor Cosmos and had strength comparable to thirty Latitude Cosmoses. In a fight with five of them, he had killed Bajakah and Mocas. The remaining three had only managed to escape with great difficulty.

"We want revenge but Naya is a Controller and also possesses a Minor Cosmos, so he's very difficult to deal with. Ordinary Free Beings aren't his match at all. Even if we wanted to hire a Controller, they're too expensive and we simply can't afford them…"

They grew silent. Aruba's expression was furious but his gaze was also vaguely helpless.

Something like this happened just as Merlin arrived. Originally, Free Beings and Controllers had an infinite lifespan and could live forever but now, it seemed that as long as there were people, there would always be fights. There would never be peace.

"Alright, Aruba, we'll discuss this matter later. Who is this?"

Their gaze fell on Merlin.

Aruba glanced at Merlin and calmed himself down before introducing, "He's Merlin. He was just born from my Latitude Region."

"Haha, Aruba, who would've thought that your tiny little Latitude Region would produce a second Free Being? You're quite lucky."

"One Latitude Region producing two Free Beings is something that only a large Latitude Region can do. Merlin, congratulations. Once you become a Free Being, you'll have an unlimited lifespan and will never be bound by a Latitude Cosmos again."

Everyone was happy for Aruba as a new Free Being was born from the same Latitude Region as him. Those who were born at the same Latitude Region usually became close friends who shared life and death. From now on, Aruba had gained another close Free Being friend.

A strange look flashed in Aruba's eyes as he said in an odd tone, "Wait, who said Merlin is a Free Being? Did I say that?"

"Huh? He's not a Free Being?"

The three people's faces expressed doubt. Judging by Merlin's aura, it was clear that he was not an ordinary person.

"Haha, of course he's not a Free Being. I'll tell you now, Merlin is a bona fide Controller!"

Aruba burst out laughing with a hint of pride on his face.

"Boom."

The three Free Beings froze as waves crashed in their minds. A Controller. A Controller was only born from every ten of thousands of Latitude Regions. They were truly one-in-ten-thousand.

Each Controller had unlimited potential. Although they were also free of the Latitude Cosmos, a Controller was better than Free Beings.

Unexpectedly, Aruba had brought back a rare Controller!

Chapter 1031: Central Region Controllers Alliance!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

"Merlin, so you're a Controller!"

The three Free Beings looked at Merlin from top to bottom.

"Aruba, did you bring Merlin to the Central Region Major Cosmos to let him join the Central Region Controllers Alliance?"

One of the Free Beings asked.

Aruba nodded and said, "Of course. Merlin has just become a Controller and needs to familiarise and understand everything about Controllers. We're all Free Beings, so if we can help Merlin understand his Controller special abilities as soon as possible, then he'll be able to join the Central Region Controllers Alliance."

Aruba then explained to the confused Merlin, " Merlin, new Controllers or Free Beings usually have their alliances. For example, in the Central Region Major Cosmos, there's the Central Region Controllers Alliance as well as the Central Region Free Beings Alliance. There are many benefits and many advantages to Controllers and Free Beings alike. That's why I recommend you to join the Central Region Controllers Alliance. Generally, once you belong to a part of the Central Region Major Cosmos, you can't join other forces."

It turned out that the top five Major Cosmoses such as the Central Region, Eastern Region, Western Region, Southern Region, and Northern Region all had their forces. Once Merlin joined the Central Region Controllers Alliance, he would automatically become one of the members of the Central Region Major Cosmos forces and unable to join forces from the other Major Cosmoses.

"What are the advantages of joining the Central Region Controllers Alliance?"

Merlin did not immediately agree and probed for more information.

"Haha, Sir Tyron, the Absolute Being of the Central Region, is the strongest among the top five Absolute Beings. Joining the Central Region Controllers Alliance allows you the opportunity to gain some understanding and experience of Controllers from Sir Tyron himself. Furthermore, there are many treasures for Controllers including Latitude Cosmoses with weak or incomplete wills. As long as you make great contributions to the Central Region Controllers Alliance, you'll be rewarded handsomely."

Aruba carefully introduced some advantages of the Central Region Controllers Alliance. There were even broken Latitude Cosmos' wills. Merlin understood from what Aruba said before that a Latitude with a broken will could be easily devoured by a Controller to directly improve his strength.

It was clear just how precious such a Latitude Cosmos would be.

Of course, to obtain such a Latitude Cosmos, the price would be very high as it was not that simple.

"Alright, then I'll go to the Central Region Controllers Alliance and take a look."

Merlin nodded in agreement.

"We'll go as well. I heard that new members are rewarded very well. The better the performance, the more rewards."

Thus, the group of five left the mountain and flew away.

In the Central Region Major Cosmos, ripping apart space was not allowed. It was very difficult and even impossible to rip this space. After all, the Central Region Major Cosmos was too powerful and the space barrier was naturally abnormally strong as well. According to Merlin's estimation, even if he brandished the Illusory World's full strength, it would still be very difficult for him to tear the space of this Central Region Major Cosmos.

However, the five of them flew very fast and quickly came to a huge city. In it, most were ordinary people.

The gate was unguarded so Merlin and the others flew in directly. When they landed on the ground, everyone gave way respectfully. Free Beings were still top existences in the Central Region Major Cosmos and were far from being comparable to these ordinary people.

"Do these ordinary people have the chance to become Free Beings or Controllers?"

Merlin's heart moved as he looked at them.

Aruba was slightly taken aback but sighed. "This is Sir Tyron's Latitude Cosmos. If they want to become Free Beings, they'll have to completely break this Latitude Cosmos' natural order. As for Controllers, they still need to control this world. Although that could happen, it's still very improbable. Even if such a person appears, do you think that Sir Tyron will just hand over the Central Region Major Cosmos?"

After a pause, Aruba continued. "For example, if such a person were to be born in your Latitude Cosmos, would you be so magnanimous as to let him break the natural order?"

Merlin was immediately relieved. Indeed, there would never be such a person in his Latitude Cosmos. To become a Free Being, one had to break the Latitude Cosmos' natural order. For the Latitude World, it would be a debilitating blow which might cause it to fall apart.

Therefore, if there was such a person, Merlin would do his best to suppress him. The same was true for the Central Region Major Cosmos. Even if there was such a person, Sir Tyron would not allow it.

"In other words, if you want to become a Free Being, you must be from a naturally formed Latitude Cosmos?"

Merlin asked thoughtfully.

"That's usually the case but there are also some special cases. For example, some Controllers may be unable to pay attention to their Latitude Cosmos due to various reasons such as sleeping or other reasons. In that case, those Latitude Cosmoses can produce a Free Being or Controller. However, such a scenario is very rare and is considered special cases."

Aruba's words made Merlin smile. If such a thing happened, the Controller was too unlucky. Their own Latitude Cosmos ended up being put to use by another person.

However, this also reminded Merlin to pay more attention to the situation in the Illusory World in the future. Although it did not mean that the people in the Illusory World could not be strong, they must not be strong enough to threaten the world's natural order. If there were such people, they must be nipped in the bud.

"Merlin, we're here. Right in front is the Central Region Controllers Alliance."

Merlin looked up and saw a very large building that did not look too impressive. There were not even guards outside. However, when he saw the gate, Merlin felt odd. It turned out that the gate also had a special power. Besides Controllers and Free Beings, ordinary people could not enter it.

"Swoosh."

The five of them passed through the gate and smoothly entered the Controllers Alliance hall.

The hall looked magnificent and extremely large, even larger than the entire city. Merlin was shocked at first but immediately realized that they were not in the same space anymore. They were in an individual space and the gate was just a passageway.

In the hall, most Controllers were grouped in twos and threes. When they saw Merlin enter, their gaze swept toward him briefly before paying him no attention.

"Are there this many Controllers and Free Beings?"

Merlin was a little surprised. They had not encountered a single one earlier and only saw ordinary people. However, everyone here was either a Free Being or a Controller.

"Haha, that's natural. This is the headquarters of the Central Region Controllers Alliance. It's naturally incomparable to other places."

Aruba said with a smile.

"Let's go and join the Central Region Controllers Alliance!"

Thus, Aruba and the others led Merlin directly into the front of the hall where several Controllers were blasely lounging in their chairs.

"Dear elders, we would like to join the Central Region Controllers Alliance."

"Hm? You want to join the Central Region Controllers Alliance?"

One of the elders opened his eyes and glanced at the five before focusing on Merlin.

"You?"

"That's right, Merlin has just become a Controller and would like to apply for membership of the Central Region Controllers Alliance."

"Yes, our Central Region Controllers Alliance is the strongest. You'll know after joining."

The elder revealed a smile.

The elder was about to say something when a flash of light suddenly burst in the hall where a man in a golden robe appeared.

At the sight of this man, the three Free Beings beside Aruba suddenly stiffened. They glared intently at the golden-robed man.

"Naya!"

The three Free Beings shouted through gritted teeth.

Report chapter

"Naya?"

Merlin was slightly stunned as he remembered that several of Aruba's Free Being friends were killed by Naya.

Unexpectedly, he met Naya here.

"It's you guys."

Naya casually glanced at Aruba and the others. To him, killing two Free Beings was not considered a big deal at all.

Furthermore, to compete for a Latitude Cosmos, no price was too heavy to pay.

Aruba and the others were livid but they knew that they could not do anything in the Central Region Major Cosmos. Even if they did, they were no match for Naya.

"Naya, are you here to receive a mission for a Latitude Cosmos with a broken will again? You're in luck as there's a mission which rewards you just that."

The Central Region Controllers Alliance elder seemed to be very familiar with Naya as he said with a smile.

"Oh? What mission is it?"

Naya was a Controller. He would not give up any Latitude Cosmos with broken wills.

"The mission isn't difficult. Ever since Polo died, the Polo Latitude Region has become masterless. However, Polo had a long history with our great Sir Tyron and Sir Tyron had promised that he would cultivate a Free Being for Polo Region. After so many years, the Polo Region had been taken care of by Sir Tyron, so it's naturally a thriving scene. Recently, the Bluewater World in the Polo Region is about to produce a Free Being but that might take hundreds or even thousands of years. This mission is to help that prodigy in the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos become a Free Being!"

It was indeed a simple task. Since Tyron already believed that that man in the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos had the chance to become a Free Being, it was most likely true.

However, this period was also very critical. A slight mistake might lead to a total loss of previous efforts. Therefore, someone had to constantly guard and guide him.

This task was not difficult but slightly troublesome. Furthermore, it took a long time. If it was completed, getting a broken Latitude Cosmos was worth the effort.

"Alright, I'll…"

Just as Naya was about to accept the mission, a loud voice interrupted Naya's words.

"We'll accept that mission!"

"Huh?"

Naya turned and fiercely glared at the person who spoke. It was Aruba.

Aruba ignored him and said calmly, "The five of us will accept this mission. Is it against the rules?"

"That…"

The elder hesitated before his gaze finally fell on Merlin. "If you're a Controller and join our Central Region Controllers Alliance, they can accept this quest along with you. Otherwise, you can't accept this quest."

"Haha, you have my thanks, elder."

Aruba was in a great mood.

"Wait. Elder, I accepted that mission first."

Naya stared at Aruba while saying coldly.

However, the elder was not worried and chuckled. "There's no need to fight. This mission doesn't have a limit on persons or teams. As long as you can help the person in Polo Region's Bluewater World become a Free Being, it's considered as completing the mission. You'll get the reward of a broken Latitude Cosmos as well.

"In other words, we can all join the mission? How will the one who contributed the most be judged? More specifically, how would you judge who helped the person in the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos in becoming a Free Being?"

Naya asked calmly.

"It's very simple. When that person becomes a Free Being, he'll naturally know who helped him the most. At that time, he'll naturally be able to differentiate who truly helped him become a Free Being."

This method was very fair. To become a Free Being, besides an opportunity, enlightenment was necessary. He would naturally know in the future who it was who helped him be enlightened.

"So, are all six of you accepting this mission? In that case, you should quickly go to the Polo Latitude Region. Sir Tyron is paying close attention to this mission."

This elder was very straightforward. Many people could join this mission. Although it was not challenging and there was no danger involved, the amount of time and energy needed was immense.

It could take anywhere from a hundred years to several thousand years. As long as the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos did not produce a Free Being, the mission would still be in effect. Furthermore, the reward was a crippled Latitude Cosmos. However, what was more important was that there was a chance of Tyron noticing them. This was something that countless Controllers and Free Beings had dreamed of.

"Right, there's something else. You mustn't fight in the Polo Latitude Region. Otherwise, Sir Tyron won't be courteous."

Seeing the tense situation between the two sides, the elder hurriedly warned.

"Fine. I'll wait for you in the Bluewater Latitude Cosmos!"

The killing intent in Naya's eyes was extremely clear and everyone could sense it. Then, Naya left the Central Region Controllers Alliance.

"Aruba, I'm afraid Naya is already intent on killing us."

The other three Free Beings frowned, vaguely worried.

Aruba did not comment and instead said to Merlin, "Brother Merlin, join the Central Region Controllers Alliance first. When you've officially become a member, we'll go to the Polo Latitude Region together."

Even though Merlin wanted to ask Aruba's plan, now was not the time. He had to first join the Central Region Controllers Alliance.

The elder also said, "Come, come, come. Let's see if you're a Controller. If you join our Central Region Controllers Alliance, there'll be many benefits. Sir Tyron attaches great importance to the cultivation of talents. As long as you have enough potential and are very talented, he might even directly give you a Latitude Cosmos for you to devour."

"What? Performing well can even directly earn me a Latitude Cosmos that I can devour?"

Merlin was extremely shocked. He was gradually understanding the differences between Free Beings and Controllers. Free Beings required a long time to accumulate before only improving slightly. The process was quite slow.

Perhaps a few hundred or thousand years was only the blink of an eye to a Free Being. If they wanted to advance and improve, they had to calculate in terms of "latitude years".

However, Controllers only needed to devour a Latitude Cosmos. After devouring ten, he could expand his Latitude Cosmos into a Minor Cosmos and his strength would also be greatly enhanced.

Therefore, a Controller's strength did not depend on the amount of time but whether the world he owned was large or not.

If he could devour a Latitude Cosmos after just becoming a Controller, then Merlin's strength would certainly greatly improve.

"Yes, as long as you perform well. Hehe, generally, Controllers, especially those in control of Latitude Cosmoses, are very ordinary. The Latitude Cosmos is the basis of a Controller. Therefore, you need to demonstrate your Latitude Cosmos and let us see just how far your world has developed."

Aruba also said, "Yes, Brother Merlin, don't be afraid. Just show them your Latitude Cosmos. There's no need to think too much. Would it be that easy to obtain a broken Latitude Cosmos? Only the one-in-ten-thousand kind of extremely gifted person would be able to obtain this fragmentary Latitude Cosmos as a reward. However, no such Controller has appeared in the Central Region Major Cosmos in many latitude years."

A few elders also smiled upon hearing Aruba's words. There was indeed a reward but it was almost impossible to get.

Merlin took a deep breath. He did not know how powerful or ordinary his Illusory World was either. However, since there was a reward, he did not need to hide it.

"Illusory World, descend!"

With heavy pressure, the Illusory World immediately descended and enveloped the entire Central Region Controllers Alliance.

Report chapter

"Boom."

Merlin's Illusory World descended. It was far bigger than an ordinary Latitude Cosmos and was about twice the size of the Almighty Beast World.

This was a very large Latitude Cosmos for someone who had just become a Controller.

"Not bad, not bad. This Latitude Cosmos is equivalent to around two Latitude Cosmoses. Not bad at all."

All of the elders were Controllers and naturally, they could see the situation in Merlin's Illusory World.

"However, this kind of Latitude Cosmos can't get the reward of an incomplete Latitude Cosmos."

The elder said somewhat regretfully. After all, to obtain the reward, it must be a true unparalleled genius. For so many latitude years, the Central Region Controllers Alliance had never found such a genius. Therefore, Merlin could only be considered a Controller who was a little talented but had the potential to become a Controller of a Minor Cosmos.

Merlin was also somewhat disappointed but he knew that his Illusory World was not outstanding on a large scale. Therefore, he quickly adjusted his mood and was about to keep the Illusory World when another elder suddenly shouted, "Wait!"

"Hm? Elder, is there something else?"

Merlin asked curiously. Besides Merlin, even the other Controller elders also looked puzzled.

"Elder Mangula, what did you find?"

The elder called Mangula had a solemn face and stared directly into Merlin's Illusory World. He asked in a heavy voice, "Controller Merlin, did you grow this world yourself?"

"Grow it himself? Mangula, don't joke around. How could he possibly have grown a legendary Latitude Cosmos like this…"

Before he finished speaking, Merlin replied, "I grew my Illusory World myself but its growth rate is very slow. Why? Isn't this an ability that all Controllers possess?"

Although Merlin had learned some knowledge about Controllers, it was only general knowledge. After all, Aruba was just a Free Being and did not know as much about Controllers. Therefore, he had not specifically asked about Merlin's Illusory World.

However, it seemed now that Merlin's Latitude Cosmos was not an ordinary Latitude Cosmos.

"Hiss."

Hearing Merlin's answer, the elders all gasped, their faces flushed with excitement. Elder Mangula asked even more hurriedly, "Controller Merlin, where did you capture this Latitude Cosmos?"

"Capture? I didn't capture anything. This Latitude Cosmos is formed by my Mind Power and finally materialized, becoming a Latitude Cosmos under my control!"

Merlin did not hide anything. A casual investigation into this matter would make it clear. Therefore, it was unnecessary to conceal it.

However, when Merlin finished speaking, all the elders had fallen into shocked silence. They were completely astonished as their blood raced in their bodies.

"Completely forming a Latitude Cosmos which can even grow freely… There's no mistaking it. You're a real Creator!"

"Boom."

When the elder cried the word "Creator", the entire hall in the Controllers Alliance became a pin-drop silence. Everyone was shocked.

Even Aruba and the other Free Beings who had limited understanding of Controllers were stunned. Some looked at Merlin with disbelief as if they were looking at a monster.

"C… Creator? Brother Merlin, you're a grand Creator?"

Merlin was somewhat shocked. He had heard of Free Beings and Controllers but never "Creators". Just what were Creators?

Looking at the shocked looks on these people's faces, these Creators were not ordinary.

"Elder Mangula, what's a Creator?"

Merlin asked softly.

"What's a Creator?"

Elder Mangula hesitated for a moment, then gave a long sigh before explaining, "Creators are Controllers but are the most powerful among them. They're also grand existences with infinite potential. The current top five Creators – the Central Region Major Cosmos's Controller, the Eastern Region Major Cosmos's Controller, and the others – are all grand Creators.

"It takes an unknown amount of time for an ordinary Controller to make his world become a Latitude Region, let alone hundreds of Latitude Regions just by relying solely on devouring Latitude Cosmoses. It's almost impossible for anyone to do it. However, Creators are different. Creators have one advantage, which is that they have one hundred percent complete control over their world and they can expand it over time. Moreover, the stronger the world they control, the faster its expansion would be. This is the terror of Creators. Besides Sir Tyron, who's another grand Creator, no other Creator has been discovered. Haha, I never expected that we'll see another Creator this time."

Mangula was very excited.

Merlin finally understood why these people were so excited. Creators had endless potential and had great opportunities to become a grand existence in control of a Major Cosmos.

Even Sir Tyron, the Controller of the Central Region Major Cosmos was a Creator, which showed how terrifying Creators were and how rare they were.

"Controller Merlin, please wait a moment. I'll report to Sir Tyron now. Haha, a Creator. Sir Tyron will be very happy."

Then, Elder Mangula hurriedly left and went to report to Sir Tyron.

A look flashed in Merlin's eyes. He naturally wanted to be valued. Since he started in the Void Zone, he already knew that powerful forces were the most helpful to him.

However, he was still thinking about the Central Region Controllers Alliance's reward of an incomplete Latitude Cosmos. In Merlin's opinion, it was an actual and tangible benefit.

"Elder, does my identity as a Creator make me eligible for the Central Region Controllers Alliance's reward? Can the reward of an incomplete Latitude Cosmos be given to me?"

Merlin asked cautiously.

The elders were slightly stunned before becoming relieved. They shook their heads and laughed. "Don't just think of a broken Latitude Cosmos. Even if you want more Latitude Cosmoses, it won't be a problem. As long as you obtain Sir Tyron's acknowledgment, you don't have to worry about getting Latitude Cosmoses. Haha, Controller Merlin, don't worry. You'll be given the reward. After all, Creators are considered first-rate talents. Even in other Major Cosmoses, they're top-grade prodigies that the Major Cosmos Absolute Beings would compete for. However, no matter how many Major Cosmoses compete, you'll still choose our Central Region Controllers Alliance."

This elder seemed very confident.

"Oh? The Central Region Controllers Alliance has such a great advantage?"

Merlin was a little curious. Was the Central Region Controllers Alliance more favorable than what the other Major Cosmoses had to offer?

"Haha, Controller Merlin, a Creator like you would be favored by the Absolute Beings. Without a doubt, the greatest advantage of our Central Region Controllers Alliance is Sir Tyron! He's the undisputed top contender and can guide you. Controller Merlin, you should naturally understand how significant this is to a prodigy like you."

Merlin saw the pride on the elders' faces and could not help but become keenly interested in Sir Tyron. In the countless Latitude Regions, among the five Major Cosmoses, he was the very top and was considered a core existence.

Countless forces and contenders attached or revolved around the top five forces but among the five Major Cosmoses, the Absolute Being of the Central Region Major Cosmos – Controller Tyron – was undisputedly the number one contender!

Aruba and the others quickly came up and laughed. "Brother Merlin, you continue to surprise me. I never thought that our Ruba Latitude Region would produce a Creator. Haha, who would dare to bully our Ruba Latitude Region in the future?"

"Controller Merlin is beyond people's expectations. This is the first time we've seen a Creator. Rumor has it that Creators have boundless potential and has great hope of becoming a Major Cosmos Absolute Being…"

Aruba and his Free Being friends were generous in their praise. They had seen Controllers before but never Creators, who stood at the peak of Controllers.

Creators. Which one of them was not favored by the heavens? Even countless Latitude Regions and countless years might not be able to produce a Creator. They were not existences that Free Beings like them could easily encounter.

Now, there was a Creator in the flesh in front of them, letting them feel as if they were in a dream.

Soon, Mangula came back followed by a man with an unclear expression. The aura on his body was so strong that it was almost inconceivable. Merlin felt suffocated just by being near him. Even his Illusory World felt like it was crushing.

"This is one of Sir Tyron's personal guards, Sir Haliman!"

Haliman had been looking at Merlin the entire time, who felt that it would be very difficult to operate his Illusory World under that powerful pressure. This was basically two different levels of power, the difference between heaven and earth.

"Sir Tyron's personal guard? He's at least one of the strongest beings among the Central Region Controllers!"

"The Central Region Controllers? Even if it were outside, he'd be an overlord of countless Latitude Regions!"

Aruba and the others looked at Haliman with heated gazes. Compared to Haliman, they were extremely terrified. Even Naya, whom they were helpless against, was nothing in the face of Haliman. There was an insurmountable gap between the two. It was believable to say that there was a difference of heaven and earth between them.

A Central Region Major Cosmos Controller was at least an overlord-grade existence. It was very difficult for Free Beings like them to encounter one but Sir Tyron had sent his guard this time. It served to show that he attached great importance to Merlin.

"You're the Controller, Merlin?"

Haliman sized Merlin up and the corners of his mouth gradually revealed a smile. He seemed to be very satisfied.

"I'm Merlin."

Merlin realized that as soon as Haliman spoke, the invisible suffocating force had disappeared without a trace.

"Not bad. Sir Tyron has requested the pleasure of seeing you. Follow me."

Haliman took a deep look at Merlin before turning and walking away.

Merlin hesitated. Judging by the excited looks on Aruba and the others' faces, he assumed that nothing would happen. Besides, he also wanted to meet the legendary number one contender. Just how would he be like?

As a result, Merlin immediately followed after Haliman and quickly disappeared from the hall.

Mangula said to Aruba and the others, "Please come with me and rest in the Controllers Alliance for the time being. I'll inform you when Controller Merlin finishes meeting with Sir Tyron."

Aruba and the others nodded. As for the mission in the Polo Region, they put it aside for the time being. What was more important than Merlin's visit to Sir Tyron?"

Chapter 1034: Tyron!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

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.

Chapter 1035: Universe Structure

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin was at first stunned then overjoyed. Tyron was the Absolute Being of the Central Region Major Cosmos. He was known as the mightiest contender as well as a Creator. Becoming Tyron's disciple would certainly be beneficial to Merlin.

"This disciple pays respect to Great Teacher!"

Merlin did not hesitate. Having Tyron as a teacher was a coveted opportunity.

"Haha, very well, I now have another disciple with infinite potential. Merlin, although your world has endless potential, it's still very weak. I have some Latitude Cosmoses with incomplete wills. Come with me."

Walking ahead of Merlin, Tyron ripped the subspace apart. Merlin might not be able to tear open the subspace but since this entire world belonged to Tyron, he could easily appear wherever he wanted in the Central Region Major Cosmos.

"Swish swish."

After traversing across countless unknown places, the two figures finally appeared in a strange place that was filled with bubbles.

There were many huge "bubbles" as far as the eye could see. Each bubble contained an incredibly huge world.

"These are the incomplete Latitude Cosmoses I've accumulated over the years. All of them can be devoured."

Tyron said with a smile. There was more than a dozen, maybe up to twenty Latitude Cosmoses here. All of them were incomplete Latitude Cosmoses, meaning that their wills were imperfect. Therefore, they could be devoured and merged by Controllers to expand their Latitude Cosmos.

Merlin's heart was ablaze with excitement. If he could devour and merge all the Latitude Cosmoses in this place, his Illusory World would soon become a Minor Cosmos.

Only by becoming the Absolute Being of a Minor Cosmos would Merlin have a bit of reserve strength and self-defense.

Seeing the expectant look in Merlin's eyes, Tyron rumbled in laughter. "These incomplete Latitude Cosmoses are no longer useful for me. You can choose fifteen of them to devour. Just leave a few Latitude Cosmoses for me to use as a reward for some missions."

Merlin's heart soared. Fifteen Latitude Cosmoses. Furthermore, among these Latitude Cosmoses, there were some almost the size of two Latitude Cosmoses. After devouring them, Merlin wondered how much more powerful his Illusory World would become.

"Thank you, Great Teacher."

Merlin immediately thanked Tyron with the utmost respect.

"Alright, now, devouring a Latitude Cosmos isn't that simple. You need to pay attention to a few details."

Following that, Tyron began to explain the details to Merlin and allowed him to try devouring a Latitude Cosmos' will. With a wave of Tyron's hand, he undid the constraints on a Latitude Cosmos.

The Latitude Cosmos' will appeared to be incomplete. It was the weakest Latitude Cosmos so it was apt for Merlin's first attempt. Merlin took a deep breath. Then, he wielded the Illusory World.

"Boom."

The Illusory World descended and shrouded this incomplete Latitude Cosmos. It gave Merlin a feeling of being in complete control. His Illusory World was capable of suppressing this incomplete Latitude Cosmos.

When his Illusory World descended, the Latitude Cosmos' incomplete will began to put up a resistance. Every Latitude Cosmos' will would not allow an external will to enter its confines. This incomplete Latitude Cosmos was similar.

Nonetheless, sensing this Latitude Cosmos' will, it was even weaker than the Almighty Beast World's will. Thus, Merlin had nothing to worry about. He immediately mobilized the maximum power of the Illusory World to suppress this world and then began to devour this Latitude Cosmos' will.

The devouring process proceeded smoothly. Once Merlin had devoured this Latitude Cosmos' will entirely, he sensed that the Latitude Cosmos could be integrated into his Illusory World.

"Does this mean that the Almighty Beast World can be integrated with me?"

Merlin immediately thought of the Almighty Beast World. Back then, Merlin had devoured its will completely and was now heading toward a slow but certain death. In that case, Merlin might as well integrate it into his Illusory World.

Therefore, Merlin had decided that after he finished devouring these Latitude Cosmoses, he would go back to the Almighty Beast World and integrate it with his Illusory World. Moreover, Merlin had a much bigger agenda in his mind.

Since the Illusory World was created based on the "universe" from his previous life, it contained countless planets. Thus, each Latitude Cosmos that he had devoured in the future could be put into a planet or perhaps form a unique civilization in a single galaxy of the Illusory World.

For example, the Almighty Beast World could be called the Almighty Beast civilization. This would diversify the Illusory World and establish a real "universe" that consisted of various civilizations.

If possible, Merlin also wanted to take a trip to the Void Zone. Then, he would integrate the Void Zone's civilizations into his Illusory World.

Merlin's excitement grew with the idea.

"Boom."

Finally, Merlin had devoured the first Latitude Cosmos. It had a unique civilization. Thus, Merlin created numerous planets and allocated a large planet for this civilization to develop. While Merlin was devouring this Latitude Cosmos, no one in the civilization felt anything.

In the future, if Merlin's Illusory World consisted of countless civilizations and these civilizations had discovered one another, what a spectacular scene would it be?

Thinking of this, Merlin suddenly wondered was the universe of his previous life also a Latitude Cosmos of a supreme existence?

"Haha, Merlin, not bad. You've devoured and merged a Latitude Cosmos flawlessly on your first attempt. Looks like you've become a true Controller. Alright, you can devour fourteen more Latitude Cosmoses. Once you're done, I'll take you away."

After witnessing Merlin's success in devouring a Latitude Cosmos, Tyron was no longer worried. So, he allowed Merlin to stay and slowly devour and merge the Latitude Cosmoses while he departed temporarily.

Merlin did not continue devouring and merging the Latitude Cosmoses immediately. Instead, he quietly felt the transformation in the Illusory World. The sky of the Illusory World seemed to almost double in size and the universe was endlessly vast. Just like Tyron had remarked, Merlin's Illusory World was endless. This was determined by the natural order of Merlin's world. In the future, Merlin's potential was infinite because the Illusory World was also almost limitless. It would only continue to grow more powerful.

Merlin did not see any problem in the Illusory World, so he began to devour other Latitude Cosmoses. These Latitude Cosmoses were all incomplete and had imperfect wills, so none of them were able to resist Merlin's devouring.

One, two, three…

Merlin lost track of how many Latitude Cosmoses he had devoured until his Illusory World expanded to a certain extent and the entire Illusory World rumbled slightly.

"Boom."

The spatial barriers became sturdier and the planets multiplied. At the same time, various unique phenomena were created in the sky. Some indigenous civilizations began to grow.

Merlin's heart soared. He knew that the Illusory World had undergone a tiny transformation which meant that it had become a "Minor Cosmos". In other words, Merlin's Illusory World was now equivalent to ten Latitude Cosmoses.

From now on, Merlin could be classified as the Absolute Being of a Minor Cosmos or a Minor Cosmos Controller!

"Minor Cosmos… This is a Minor Cosmos. The Illusory World is now ten times bigger than it was previously! Right now, this world can easily crush the old Illusory World."

Merlin exhaled slowly. Having Tyron as his teacher had truly saved him a lot of time. Otherwise, it would have taken countless years to achieve a Minor Cosmos relying on his efforts.

There were a few more Latitude Cosmoses he could devour. The bigger a world, the more powerful its abilities. With that, Merlin took a deep breath and continued devouring the remaining Latitude Cosmoses.

Chapter 1036: Minor Cosmos Absolute Being

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Time passed quickly. As Merlin kept devouring the Latitude Cosmoses, his Illusory World continued to expand until it was almost the size of fifteen or sixteen Latitude Cosmoses. Then, Merlin stopped.

Currently, Merlin was the Absolute Being of a Minor Cosmos. Of course, a Minor Cosmos the size of fifteen to sixteen Latitude Cosmoses was still considered quite insignificant. At most, Merlin was considered one of the bottom-most existences among the Minor Cosmos Absolute Beings. Nonetheless, compared to the short amount of time since Merlin had become a Controller, his progress was quite admirable.

Based on his current abilities, he had already surpassed Aruba, who had lived for countless latitude years. This was the unbridgeable gap between the Free Beings and the Controllers.

"Swish."

It seemed that Tyron had been watching Merlin closely. Once Merlin was done devouring the incomplete Latitude Cosmoses, Tyron reappeared.

"Merlin, how is it?"

Tyron asked with a grin.

"Great Teacher, these incomplete Latitude Cosmoses are very beneficial. Right now, I'm already the Absolute Being of a Minor Cosmos."

"Yes, you've devoured them quickly. After this, you'll have to complete your mission. Although you're my disciple, outside of this place, you cannot disclose your identity until you become the Absolute Being of a Major Cosmos. All my disciples are subjected to the same rule. Before becoming the Absolute Being of a Major Cosmos, you cannot disclose your identity as my disciple."

A disappointed jolt ran through Merlin's heart. He hurriedly nodded. "This disciple understands."

"Merlin, although you cannot declare yourself as my disciple, I'll give you some life-saving tactics. I'll implant a strand of the Central Region Major Cosmos' power of the natural order in your body. You won't be able to use this implant but if someone were to destroy your physical body, this strand of power of the natural order will be activated. It'll be enough to help you block the attack and allow you to escape."

Although Tyron did not allow Merlin to capitalize on his name outside, he still gave Merlin a life-saving item. Most probably, all of Tyron's disciples were treated equally.

"Thank you, Great Teacher."

Merlin's heart relaxed a little. While the destruction of his physical body might signify grave danger as well as great trouble, he was not too worried now that the Illusory World had been manifested as a real Latitude Cosmos. Even if his body was destroyed, he could consolidate another body as long as the Illusory World was not destroyed.

"Merlin, one last reminder. Us Creators are different from the Free Beings and even the Controllers. As Creators, our most essential component is 'creation'. The reason our Latitude Cosmos can grow on its own is due to creation. So, while devouring incomplete Latitude Cosmos is important, what's more important is improving ourselves. As a powerful Creator, even without devouring any Latitude Cosmos, we can still grow stronger!"

Merlin silently committed Tyron's words to memory.

"Very well, I'll implant into your body now."

As soon as Tyron finished talking, Merlin sensed an overpowering bondage wrap around him. Even the Illusory World could not break free. That all-consuming power was like an elephant to an ant as it was utterly incomparable. This showed the massive gap between Merlin and Tyron.

This strand of the Central Region Major Cosmos' power of the natural order could not be merged with Merlin's Illusory World. Otherwise, the Illusory World would resist and most probably, eventually collapse.

Therefore, it could only be fused with Merlin's body.

Under this powerful bondage, Merlin did not put up any resistance. He simply waited quietly to feel the changes in his body.

"Alright, you can go now. Go then…"

Merlin did not feel any change in his body. Instead, Tyron's voice filtered into his ear. Then, Merlin was sucked up by a large force and disappeared from this strange subspace.

…

In the Central Region Controllers Alliance, Aruba and the others were slightly worried. A few months had passed but they had not seen Merlin reappear.

"I wonder how Brother Merlin is faring? He was summoned by Sir Tyron so he must've found favor. Otherwise, Tyron wouldn't summon Brother Merlin. However, why hasn't he come out after such a long time?"

Aruba was slightly anxious.

"Aruba, don't worry. Nothing will happen in the Central Region Controllers Alliance. Perhaps Sir Tyron has taken a special liking to Controller Merlin and is giving him some pointers."

The other three Free Beings were not as anxious as Aruba.

"Swish."

Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the main foyer of the Central Region Controllers Alliance. Aruba's heart leaped and his solemn expression turned into excitement.

"Brother Merlin, haha, you've finally come out."

Aruba walked toward Merlin jovially.

Merlin, too, spotted Aruba and the others. Merlin knew that more than three months had passed yet Aruba had continued to wait for him.

"Aruba, I'm fine."

"Brother Merlin, what did Sir Tyron say to you during his summon?"

Aruba and the others peered at Merlin curiously. Although they had lived for a long time, they had never seen the Great Sir Tyron.

Merlin saw the anticipation in Aruba and the others' eyes and shook his head helplessly. "Nothing major, just some stuff about Controllers. Anyway, we still have to go to Bluewater World in the Polo Latitude Region to complete our mission. otherwise, Naya will be ahead of us."

Aruba nodded. This was one of the reasons why he was so anxious as well. If Naya arrived ahead of them, it would be troublesome.

"Right, Brother Merlin, where's your reward? Didn't the Central Region Controllers Alliance promise you a reward?"

"The reward has already been passed to me in person by Sir Tyron."

Merlin could only reply vaguely. After all, the discussion about Creators and the unlimited potential of his Latitude Cosmos was simply too unbelievable to be retold. Moreover, Aruba and the others were Free Beings so it was difficult for them to understand.

"Okay, then we'll leave immediately."

The three people behind Aruba seemed to hesitate. One of the Free Beings said, "Aruba, Naya is a Controller as well as the Absolute Being of a Minor Cosmos. We're not a match for him. Although he cannot do anything to us in Polo Latitude Region, once we leave Polo Latitude Region, we'll be in trouble."

These three Free Beings had only barely managed to escape from Naya. They were very familiar with Naya's abilities. Even with the addition of Aruba and Merlin, it would be a suicidal mission.

While Merlin was a Controller, he had just become one, which meant that his abilities were far from comparable to Naya. Aruba had also used this mission to "provoke" Naya, which made it even more dangerous.

"Aruba, we too wish to seek revenge but there should be a plan. If we 'provoke' Naya like this, what use will it be?"

Indeed, Aruba's action merely provided a vent for his anger. Even if they had completed this mission, there was no actual blow to Naya. It could be said to be meaningless.

Aruba's eyes narrowed and his tone turned cold. "So, all of you don't want to go?"

"Not that we don't want to go but this mission is unnecessary. If we want to take revenge, we might as well strengthen our abilities so that we can seek revenge in the future."

The three of them had discussed this among themselves. They would not be completing this mission with Aruba.

Aruba, on the other hand, stayed silent. After a moment, he said softly, "You don't have to go but I will still go. Brother Merlin, you've just become a Controller. You need time to solidify your foundation. Undertaking this mission and facing Naya will indeed be dangerous. Let's bid our farewell at this point."

With that, Aruba turned around to leave. Without looking back, he disappeared from the Central Region Controllers Alliance.

"This…"

The other three Free Beings were dumbfounded. They did not imagine that Aruba's reaction would be so intense.

Merlin shook his head with a pained smile. "Aruba has helped me a lot in the past." He told the three Controllers, "So, even though he's looking for trouble with Naya, I have to go with him."

Thus, Merlin quickly chased after Aruba.

Chapter 1037: Devouring the Almighty Beast World

Aruba had not gotten very far when Merlin caught up to him.

"Merlin, why did you come?"

Upon seeing Merlin, a delighted expression shone on Aruba's face. After all, Merlin was brought to the Central Region Controllers Alliance by Aruba personally and also originated from Ruba Region. They shared the closest bond between them.

Merlin shook his head and exhaled slowly. "Aruba, even if you want to complete the mission, you don't have to rush."

Until now, Merlin still did not understand why Aruba was so impatient and even acted somewhat reckless in finding trouble with Naya.

Seemingly reading Merlin's thoughts, Aruba explained calmly, "Among the two people killed by Naya, one of them had once saved my life. If not for him, I would've died a long time ago."

It turned out to be such. It was not surprising that Aruba's reaction was different compared to the other three Free Beings and was unable to stay calm.

"Merlin, you don't have to come."

"Haha, both of us are a Free Being and a Controller who came from the same region. You and I are now like blood brothers. There's no longer any concept of you or me."

Merlin gradually learned of the close connection between Free Beings and Controllers from the same region. Their bond was almost like father and son or brothers. They were interconnected with each other.

After all, most of the Latitude Regions could only give birth to a Free Being or a Controller. Giving birth to two was honestly unheard of. Therefore, having two Free Beings or Controllers was considered extremely precious.

"Very well, let's go now."

However, Merlin shook his head. With a glint in his eye, he said, "Before that, I want to go somewhere!"

Aruba was filled with incomprehension but seeing the determination in Merlin's eyes, he could only agree. Hence, both of them flew at maximum speed toward Ruba Region.

Both their flying speeds were very fast especially Merlin, due to the number of Latitude Cosmoses he had devoured. Therefore, the Illusory World was now a true Minor Cosmos. Naturally, mobilizing the power of a Minor Cosmos, Merlin was faster than Aruba.

Aruba was also astonished. He knew that Merlin must have received some benefits in the Central Region Controllers Alliance but since Merlin did not elaborate, he did not ask further.

So, after a while, Merlin and Aruba finally arrived at Ruba Region. At this point, Aruba finally could not help but ask, "Brother Merlin, why did you return to Ruba Region?"

"To look for a Latitude Cosmos!"

Although Ruba Region was quite vast, Merlin had already recognized some parts. Thus, he found the Almighty Beast World quickly. Currently, the Almighty Beast World was still the same as it was before. There was nothing special about it. Even Aruba could not tell that this was a desolate world that would soon collapse.

From the outside, neither a Free Being nor a Controller could see if the world's will existed. It could be investigated only by wading deep into the Latitude Cosmos.

The Almighty Beast World did not seem incomplete. However, Merlin knew that this was a Latitude Cosmos without any will, which was the Controllers' favorite type of world.

Controllers could easily devour a Latitude Cosmos like this. Previously, Merlin did now know that he could integrate the Almighty Beast World into his Illusory World. However, it was still not too late. The reason Merlin came was to integrate the Almighty Beast World in the Illusory World.

"Brother Merlin, are you going to devour this Latitude Cosmos?"

Watching Merlin's actions, Aruba had a vague idea of what Merlin wanted to do. Merlin wanted to devour this Latitude Cosmos. Nonetheless, despite being a Free Being, Aruba knew that for a Controller to devour a Latitude Cosmos, it must be an incomplete Latitude Cosmos.

On the other hand, this Almighty Beast World was a complete world. How could Merlin devour it?

However, Merlin appeared confident. He did not explain further, but said, "Aruba, take a few steps back. I'm going to devour this Latitude Cosmos now!"

Although Aruba was still perplexed, he listened to Merlin and stayed away from the Almighty Beast World.

Once Merlin saw that Aruba had gone a distance away, he took a deep breath and looked at the Almighty Beast World with a complicated gaze. Regardless, he wielded the Illusory World.

"Boom."

The Illusory World descended. An incomparably huge power unfurled, much bigger than any of the Latitude Cosmos in the vicinity.

"What… Such an enormous world!"

Even Aruba, who had retreated far away, could feel the unparalleled pressure. Especially when he saw Merlin's world, Aruba's jaws dropped. Such an enormous world was comparable to a Minor Cosmos. Before Merlin went to the Central Region Minor Cosmos, his abilities were certainly not so powerful.

Aruba wondered what happened to Merlin in the Central Region Controllers Alliance.

The unequaled Illusory World descended and immediately wrapped around the Almighty Beast World. Based on the current size of the Illusory World, the Almighty Beast World was naught but a speck.

Nevertheless, integrating the Almighty Beast World was slightly troublesome. If this was an unknown Latitude Cosmos, Merlin could save himself the trouble and simply crush it. That method would allow it to integrate into the Illusory World swiftly.

However, the Almighty Beast World had people whom Merlin knew. Thus, he could only employ the slowest method, which was using the power of the natural order to slowly and gradually integrate the Almighty Beast World.

This method was indeed the slowest but the damage to the Latitude Cosmos was the least. Even then, Merlin could sense the earth-shattering changes in the Almighty Beast World.

Merlin simply tried to protect the Holy Dragon Empire as much as he could. As for the other places, he could not care less.

Time ticked by. Soon, a month had passed. Merlin's Illusory World shook slightly. Then, amid the dark universe, a huge planet appeared.

The Almighty Beast civilization did not perish but reappeared in Merlin's Illusory World and melded into one. Presently, Merlin's Illusory World contained all kinds of civilization, almost too many to count. This was another uniqueness of Merlin's Illusory World. He had constructed the Illusory World based on the natural order of the universe from his past life.

Of course, the Illusory World was very vast. Therefore, the chances of different civilizations bumping into one another were extremely unlikely. Unless, one day, a super civilization was born and was able to explore the Illusory World. Perhaps, then, they would encounter other civilizations.

However, for such a civilization to be born or developed, it would take a very long time. Perhaps hundreds of thousands of latitude years or perhaps even longer.

After devouring the Almighty Beast World, Merlin's Illusory World expanded greatly. Following the expansion of the Illusory World, the unique trait of "Creators" began to manifest. The Illusory World continued to expand without devouring anything.

Naturally, the speed of such an expansion was much faster than devouring a Latitude Cosmos.

"Swish."

As soon as Merlin retracted the Illusory World, Aruba flew rapidly toward him. Aruba looked at the spot where the Almighty Beast World was. It was now empty. Aruba almost could not believe his eyes.

"Merlin, you're probably the Absolute Being of a Minor Cosmos now, right?"

Earlier, Aruba had sensed that Merlin's Illusory World had become a Minor Cosmos. It was no longer comparable to an ordinary Latitude Cosmos.

Merlin smiled. "It's all thanks to Sir Tyron for rewarding me with some incomplete Latitude Cosmoses that I managed to grow the Illusory World into a Minor Cosmos. However, compared to Naya, I'm still far behind."

Merlin was also telling the truth. While his Illusory World now qualified as a Minor Cosmos, it was at most equivalent to sixteen Latitude Cosmoses. Meanwhile, Naya's was comparable to thirty-six Latitude Cosmos.

Between the Minor Cosmos, there were also size disparities. Considering Naya's countless years of accumulation, his world was of course, more powerful than Merlin's.

Aruba shook his head and said, "Naya has become a Controller for goodness knows how many latitude years. How can you compare to him? Look, your current abilities are already much stronger than mine. I remember when I was still in the Void Zone, you were just a weak little chap. I didn't expect that you've grown to such a degree."

Aruba felt amazed thinking of Merlin's appearance back in the Void Zone.

"Anyway, let's go to Polo Latitude Region."

After Merlin had integrated the Almighty Beast World, he and Aruba departed from Ruba region and flew toward the Polo Latitude Region.

Chapter 1038: Bluewater World

The distances between Latitude Regions were extremely far. For some of the further Latitude Regions, flying for thousands or tens of thousands of years was not considered uncommon.

The distance between Ruba Region and Polo Region was not considered far. Perhaps, it could even be considered near. It only took one or two years to fly there.

Merlin and Aruba almost did not stop along the way and soon arrived at Polo Region. This Latitude Region looked very mesmerizing. Every single Latitude Cosmos exuded astonishing power.

Latitude Cosmos also differed with one another in terms of strength. For example, the Almighty Beast World was much weaker than the Void Zone but the Void Zone was considered negligible among the countless Latitude Cosmos.

The Latitude Cosmos in Polo Latitude Region was mostly similar to the Void Zone. However, some Latitude Cosmoses were far more powerful than the Void Zone. Just their auras alone astonished Merlin.

Merlin's Illusory World was undoubtedly a Minor Cosmos by now. It was the size of sixteen ordinary Latitude Cosmoses. In Polo Region, it was impossible to find such an enormous Latitude Cosmos.

"The Polo Region used to be a very prosperous Latitude Region. If not for Sir Tyron's watch over the Polo Region, I'm afraid this place would've descended into chaos a long time ago."

Aruba remarked sadly.

"Right, we better look for Bluewater World soon. Perhaps Naya has already achieved some progress in Bluewater World." This mission was to enable a person in Bluewater World to successfully become a Free Being. It was not an easy task but they must not allow Naya to continue occupying the upper hand. Otherwise, their presence would be meaningless.

"Okay, Bluewater World is very easy to find. It's the biggest Latitude Cosmos in Polo Region!"

Aruba searched for the Latitude Cosmos with familiar ease. Hence, both of them began to search along the way. After about half a month, they finally saw an incomparably large and radiant Latitude Cosmos amid the black void.

This Latitude Cosmos was about two to three times the size of the Void Zone back then. It was a true giant. On its surface was a faint bluish glow.

"This Latitude Cosmos is almost entirely made up of the sea. There's only a small landmass that's why it's called Bluewater World. Let's go, this Latitude Cosmos is Bluewater World."

Aruba said with certainty. Thus, Merlin did not hesitate. Together with Aruba, he flew into the enormous Latitude Cosmos.

"Hum."

The moment they flew into this Latitude Cosmos, Merlin felt a massive pressure surging toward him from every direction as though crushing him. Even the Illusory World in his body was almost exposed.

However, Aruba had previously reminded Merlin that upon entering a Latitude Cosmos, he must stay relaxed and not put up any resistance. Otherwise, the formidable power of the Illusory World would easily destroy this Latitude Cosmos.

Merlin was not the only one under pressure. Aruba also had to withstand the same pressure. However, Aruba was a Latitude Traveler who had stayed in countless Latitude Cosmoses, so he had plenty of experience. Even if the entire Latitude Cosmos tried to crush him, as a Free Being, his strength was exceptionally immense. He was able to escape the bondage of a Latitude Cosmos alive. What then was this smidgen of pressure?

Both Merlin and Aruba did not struggle. Therefore, after a while, the Latitude Cosmos felt that it was completely unable to defeat Merlin and Aruba. In that case, it would not waste its strength. It retracted its powers and Merlin and Aruba no longer felt the suppressive pressure.

Although the suppressive pressure had subsided, this Latitude Cosmos' will was still watching Merlin and Aruba closely. Both Aruba and Merlin were considered to be invaders. Although it could not defeat them, it could still monitor their every move. If they were to attack the Latitude Cosmos, then it would attack them at all costs.

Seeing that Merlin was somewhat uncomfortable, Aruba appeared very good-natured. He grinned. "Brother Merlin, do you feel a little uncomfortable? Haha, it's annoying to be watched constantly, right? Back when I first entered other Latitude Cosmos, it was the same as I would be watched at all times. However, this is the nature of a Latitude Cosmos. Any Latitude Cosmos with a will would respond the same way. When I entered the Void Zone, I was also watched closely in this manner. As long as you don't cause any major harm to this world or its essence, even if you stir-up some conflict, the Latitude Cosmos' will won't do anything to you."

Aruba was very experienced regarding Latitude Cosmos' will. The Latitude Cosmos' will was merely an instinct. It knew that Merlin and Aruba were dangerous intruders but it also knew that they were very powerful.

The Latitude Cosmos' instincts would pay close attention but not act recklessly. As long as Merlin and Aruba did not cause any problems that could threaten the Latitude Cosmos, the Latitude Cosmos' will would not deal with the "invaders".

Merlin nodded and temporarily ignored the discomfort. He looked around this Latitude Cosmos. Currently, they were standing above a large sea. Everywhere he looked was the sea. There was not a single piece of land, not even a small island.

"I guess it's Bluewater World. Everywhere is made up of the sea."

Aruba sighed.

"We can rip space apart and travel via subspace."

Merlin looked out at the vast sea which stretched endlessly. It looked very big and unending.

"Rip space apart? Although space is quite solid, we can certainly rip through it easily. Nonetheless, tearing up space might cause a misunderstanding with the will of this world. If it tries to get rid of us, then it won't be worth it. We should fly toward the landmass slowly."

Aruba explained in detail, the aspects to be observed in a Latitude Cosmos. After all, they did not intend to destroy this Latitude Cosmos but merely to help a contender become a Free Being. Hence, they must not trigger any "misunderstanding" between them and the world's will.

Merlin nodded in agreement. Together with Aruba, he flew swiftly. Fortunately, both of them were supreme existences who had surpassed a Latitude Cosmos, so their speeds were inconceivably fast. All in all, it was just a little slower than traveling via subspace.

The two of them began to see some islands. As time went on, more islands appeared, which was a sign that they were getting close to land.

"Look, there's a huge landmass in front. It looks like we're almost there."

The landmass was indeed huge. Similarly, it seemed to stretch endlessly. If there was a person who could become a Free Being, he or she must be on this landmass.

As they got nearer, people began to appear on the landmass. There were also some ships at sea, enduring the huge waves as it slowly steered forward.

Among them, there was a large ship that was being bombarded by the huge waves. It seemed like it would sink at any time.

Aruba had an idea. He looked at the large ship and said, "Brother Merlin, for us to find the contender who might become a Free Being, we must forge a new identity. Remember, the most important thing for a Latitude Traveler is to be completely assimilated into this Latitude Cosmos and become a part of it."

Merlin looked at the large ship and faintly understood Aruba's meaning. He smiled. "This ship then. I understand!"

Once he finished speaking, massive gales began to blow and huge waves appeared in the surrounding sea. No one noticed that, behind the massive gale, two figures dove quickly into the deep sea…

Chapter 1039: New Identities

"Lady Andelin, the waves are too choppy. You should return to the cabin first. I'm afraid you might be swept into the sea by the waves."

On a large ship, many people were regarding the storm with worried expressions. Faced with such a huge storm, no matter how sturdy a ship, it could still be overturned.

"I won't leave. I'll stay watch right here. This batch of cargo is extremely important to us. There mustn't be any problems."

A beautiful lady in a white dress was currently biting her lip with a determined plastered across her face. Although there was a tinge of fear in her eyes at the massive storm, yet she had no choice. The cargo on this ship was too important. Without them, her clan would be finished and forever would not recover.

"Lady Andelin, as long as the ship doesn't sink, we'll do our best to protect the cargo. God bless us, please let the storm subside…"

The old captain looked at the port ahead. Although it was not too far away, due to this storm, the distance seemed to stretch for an eternity. He was worried to never to arrive at their destination. Perhaps, if the storm was any worse, they would all be buried at sea.

This was the power of nature that none of them could resist.

"Boom."

Suddenly, huge waves slammed against the board. Subsequently, the storm subsided. The sea, which at first seemed like the end of the world judging by the vicious gale, calmed in an instant. The wind and the water stood still, not a ripple in place.

"This… The storm has stopped. Lady Andelin, we're safe."

The crew was very excited. They had been afraid during the storm, scared that they would be swept into the sea and die without a proper burial.

A tiny smile appeared on Lady Andelin's beautiful countenance. The arduous task of trafficking this cargo had finally succeeded.

"Very well, return to Lipa City immediately."

With Lady Andelin's order, the large ship started and steered toward the port in a distance.

"Captain, Lady Andelin, we found two people in the sea."

Shocked, Lady Andelin looked down abruptly. There were indeed two people struggling in the sea. They seemed to be dying. If they were not rescued, they would die.

"Maybe they were swept into the sea during the storm or lucky survivors of a shipwreck. What do we do?"

"Save them, save both of them, hurry!"

Of course, Lady Andelin would not leave them to die, so she immediately ordered her men to rescue the two men. Many of them threw ropes at the two men and proceeded to pull them onto the ship.

"Plop."

Upon being rescued, the two men plopped onto the ship, looking like they had just escaped a close brush with death.

After a long time, both of them were well-rested, so they slowly stood up and looked at the beautiful lady. They said softly, "We're very grateful to the beautiful Lady Andelin for saving our lives. Otherwise, we would've died at sea."

"Oh? What are your names and where did you fall from?"

"I'm Merlin and this is Aruba. Our ship has sunk. At first, we had a raft to float on the sea but unexpectedly, there was a huge storm and we were swept here."

These two people were none other than Merlin and Aruba. The first thing they had to do in an unfamiliar Latitude Cosmos was to create a reasonable identity and assimilate into this world. This was the experience that Aruba had accumulated after visiting countless Latitude Cosmoses.

"I'm sorry to hear that. You don't have to worry. We'll soon reach Lipa City. Then, you can go to Lipa City."

"Thank you, beautiful lady."

With that, Merlin and Aruba had seamlessly assimilated into this world as two sailors who had fallen into the sea but luckily survived.

The two of them had a hot bath and were given clean clothes. They even stayed in a room in the cabin.

In the room, the two did not continue to pretend. Between the two of them, they were able to employ protective measures to prevent outsiders from hearing them.

"Brother Merlin, have you discovered anything yet? This world doesn't seem to have a particularly powerful existence."

Aruba said with a frown. He already looked around the ship but there was no one with very powerful abilities. All of them were ordinary people.

How could such a world give birth to a Free Being?

"Perhaps there's no powerful person on this ship. We'll go ashore and check."

Merlin, on the other hand, was not concerned. Back when he first arrived at Blackwater City, he was also surrounded by Normies. Even a Spell Caster like Old Man Etha was considered mysterious and rare.

This world was probably similar. Those who held mysterious and powerful abilities were hidden, so it was not easy to encounter them.

"Alright, we'll search ashore and see."

Aruba was used to spending thousands of years in a Latitude Cosmos. For him, this was a familiar process.

After some discussion, they left the cabin and began to talk to the crew members. All of the crew members were very talkative so Merlin was able to find out many things effortlessly.

Firstly, this world contained individuals with supernatural powers. However, this type of individuals were painfully rare. Ordinary people would not meet them. Coincidentally, Lady Andelin's fiancé had a friend with such supernatural power, so all of them had seen one.

Upon mentioning this supernatural power, all the men were excited and the floodgates opened. However, there was not a lot of useful information.

"It looks like we should follow Lady Andelin."

Merlin and Aruba exchanged a glance. They would become Andelin's subordinates and slowly approach this person with supernatural power.

Soon, the large ship docked. Several carriages were already waiting at the port. The numerous boxes of cargo were immediately loaded into the carriages by the ship's crew.

This batch of cargo was Lady Andelin's lifeline so there could not be any errors.

"Both of you, this is Lipa City. This is a port city and businesses are highly prosperous. Here, it should be very easy for you to find a job. Then, you can slowly find your way back home…"

Besides docking at Lipa City, Lady Andelin's cargo still had to travel to another city.

Merlin and Aruba looked at one another. They had already decided. Hence, Merlin stepped forward and said, "Lady Andelin, as a show of gratitude for saving us, we're willing to help escort your shipment."

"My shipment? I already have so many guards…"

Before she could finish speaking, Merlin shook his head. "If there's any danger, they may not be able to ensure your safety but we can!"

Following that, Merlin unleashed a bit of power. Suddenly, without anyone realizing, Lady Andelin felt like her entire body was tied up. She could not move a muscle.

Momentarily, a shocked expression dawned on Lady Andelin's face. She opened her mouth but could not say anything.

Mysterious power… This was true mysterious power. Lady Andelin had met some of the supernatural individuals with mysterious powers but they were very difficult to find. Unpredictably, the two men whom she happened to rescue at sea were one of these mysterious individuals with supernatural powers.

Thinking of this, Lady Andelin of course nodded. "Thank you for your kind offer. Alright, you may become the deputy commanders of my guards and escort this shipment to Qatar City."

"Thank you for your generosity!"

With that, Merlin and Aruba became the deputy commanders of Lady Andelin's guards and began to escort the important shipment from Lipa City to Qatar City.

Chapter 1040: The Number One Person in this World!

On their journey, Merlin and Aruba were asking about people with supernatural powers. Nonetheless, it was a shame that besides Lady Andelin, no one else knew anything.

As for Lady Andelin, she did not elaborate much and seemed unwilling to talk about it.

"Lady Andelin, to tell the truth, we wish to look for people who have extraordinary strength like us."

Merlin might as well come clean with Lady Andelin. Both of them had displayed their greatest powers and were mistaken by Lady Andelin to be contenders with supernatural powers.

Andelin hesitated slightly before finally nodded. "After returning to Qatar City, I'll invite Sir Ogman. At that point, you can discuss this with Sir Ogman."

Sir Ogman that Lady Andelin spoke off was her fiancé's friend, who was also a contender with supernatural powers.

Merlin and Aruba nodded. Thus, they escort this batch of goods without worry.

Lipa City was a good distance away from Qatar City, so they walked for a week before finally reaching Qatar City. Qatar City appeared much smaller and less prosperous than Lipa City. Even so, the influence of Lady Andelin's clan in Qatar City should be second to none. Having returned to Qatar City, they no longer had to worry.

Lady Andelin had made arrangements for Merlin and Aruba then said to them, "Please wait a moment. I'll inform Rogge so that he'll bring Sir Ogman to meet you two. It'll take around a few days."

Merlin nodded. Lady Andelin's fiancé was surely not in Qatar City. Waiting for a few days was nothing to them.

"Alright, we'll wait here for a few days."

After Lady Andelin left, Merlin and Aruba immediately began their discussion.

"Aruba, we've come to the era of Bluewater World. We're very late. Naya is certainly one step ahead of us. If he finds someone who might become a Free Being, there'd be trouble."

Merlin was somewhat worried.

Aruba was silent for a moment before saying, "So what if he does? It's not that easy to become a Free Being. At the very least, it'll take decades. At most, more than a millennium. There's plenty of time, so we don't have to panic."

Merlin nodded. They had scanned their surroundings upon entering Qatar City but did not discover anyone with supernatural powers. Everyone was ordinary.

It looked like in Bluewater World, there was only a pitiful number of those with supernatural powers.

"We'll wait then."

Now, they had no other way but to wait. Otherwise, even if both of them could easily annihilate this world, trying to find someone who could become a Free Being was exceedingly difficult.

…

"Lady Andelin, what's up with the two of them?"

In a hidden room, an old man asked in a troubled tone. He had always felt rather anxious toward the two mysterious men Lady Andelin had rescued this time.

Lady Andelin thought about it for a moment before saying calmly, "They only wish to look for people with supernatural powers. We don't have to pay them any mind. When Sir Ogman arrives after a few days, it'll naturally be resolved."

At the thought of Sir Ogman's mystical strength, an expression of ease blossomed over the old man's face. He had great faith in Ogman.

"I'll inform Sir Ogman."

With that, Lady Andelin immediately sent someone who swiftly left Qatar City.

…

Time passed by in a flash. Merlin and Aruba had waited in Qatar City for a few days. They had been closely monitoring the changes in Qatar City but did not notice anyone special with supernatural powers.

"Honorable sirs, Lady Andelin invites you to the living room."

Suddenly, a guard came to their residence and passed on this invitation to Merlin and Aruba.

"Has he arrived?"

Merlin and Aruba exchanged a glance, noticing the delight in each other's eyes. Therefore, they stood up at once and went to the living room with the guard leading the way.

As soon as they entered, they directed their gaze at an incomparably handsome man with short, golden hair.

This youthful, good-looking man seemed to exude a "sunny" aura, causing one to feel intimate and warm. This was a very natural feeling.

Nevertheless, only Merlin and Aruba distinctly perceived that in his body, there was vaguely a mystical power that was constantly emitting traces of energy.

"Someone with supernatural powers!'

They exchanged a glance. At last, they had met someone in this world with supernatural powers. Moreover, being a Free Being and a Controller themselves, naturally, they could tell with a glance that the supernatural powers possessed by the other party originated from the massive strength in his body. This strength was closely linked to this world's will for it was a supernatural power born in this world.

It was like when Merlin was a Spell Caster, he was closely bound to the Void Zone.

After seeing Merlin and Aruba, Lady Andelin introduced hurriedly, "This is Sir Ogman."

There was another man in noble clothes beside Sir Ogman. However, Merlin and Aruba had disregarded him right away and he appeared somewhat resentful.

Later, they gradually learned that this nobleman was Baron Rogge, Lady Andelin's fiancé, and Ogman's friend.

"Swoosh."

Ogman's gaze fixed firmly upon Merlin and Aruba as well. He felt that these two people were suffused with endless mystery. They look as if they did not have a powerful presence but like an abyss, one would not dare to go near them.

"You two are…?"

"Merlin."

"Aruba."

Merlin and Aruba spoke bluntly. As long as they found someone with supernatural powers, their job was easier.

"I've heard from Lady Andelin that you two are looking for me? What's the matter?"

Ogman sensed that Merlin and Aruba were not simple so he asked directly.

Merlin merely smiled. "We just want to know – among everyone you know, who's the strongest?"

"The strongest?"

Ogman sized up Merlin with a puzzled look and answered curiously, "Who wouldn't know? The number one person in this world is the Sanctuary Contender Moorta. Rumor has it that he has gained enlightenment about the Sanctuary. Each ofo his movement contains momentous might. No one is a match for him."

"Moorta?"

The eyes of Merlin and Aruba brightened. This number one person in this world was very possibly the contender who might become a Free Being, whom Sir Tyron had mentioned.

Most of those who wished to become a Free Being of a Latitude Cosmos were generally the foremost contenders in their world. Only a foremost contender had the most chance of becoming a Free Being.

"In this case, we'll have to look up this Moorta. Perhaps Naya is one step ahead of us but we should still be in time. It's not too late…"

Merlin and Aruba immediately made their decision. They would look for Moorta.

"However…"

Ogman seemed somewhat hesitant and rather uncertain.

"However what? Ogman, say whatever you have to say."

Merlin noticed Ogman's hesitant manner and asked in a low voice.

Ogman was momentarily silent before he finally took a deep breath. "However, the latest rumor claimed that someone had challenged Moorta three times. Though this person had failed, they still kept coming back and did not die. Someone who can escape with their lives from Moorta's hand mustn't be that simple, let alone escaping three times."

"Oh? There's someone like this?"

Merlin and Aruba exchanged a glance. Initially, they wanted to look up Moorta directly but they could not guarantee that he would become a Free Being.

Now that a mysterious person who had challenged Moorta was mentioned, things became more complicated.

"Where's Moorta?"

"Sky-piercing City!"

Merlin and Aruba decided to visit Sky-piercing City first to meet Moorta. They would see if he had the potential to become a Free Being. More importantly, they had to determine where Naya was.
