After finalizing the agreement between the three Hong Meng beings, the brothers continued their casual chat.
"By the way, Elder Brother, the number of Hong Meng beings will only increase in the future. Regarding the slots on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking you established, will they still be arranged based on the order of entry into the Primordial Space, or will there be other restrictions?"
Roy suddenly asked Hong Meng, his voice filled with excitement.
Roy's question caught Hong Meng by surprise.
For over a thousand cycles before Roy entered the Primordial Space, Hong Meng had been alone, yet proud. He believed that only those who could break through the limitations of the Universe and enter the Primordial Space, surviving the corrosive power of the Hong Meng Qi, were worthy of being his brothers, having their names on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, and becoming Hong Meng Controllers.
Roy was like that, and so was Linley.
However, now, a path directly leading to Hong Meng beings had appeared in Roy's Starry Sky Universe.
It was foreseeable that the number of beings in the Primordial Space would not be small in the future.
Originally, the Hong Meng Golden Ranking had slots for four Level One Hong Meng Controllers, twelve Second-level Hong Meng Controllers, and sixty Third-level Hong Meng Controllers, totaling seventy-six slots.
This meant that at most, seventy-six Universes could be created within the Primordial Space.
For example, Roy, although his name wasn't on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking, had created a Starry Sky Universe that surpassed the Universes of Hong Meng and Lin Meng in both strength and size.
This resulted in the loss of one slot for a Level One Hong Meng Controller and two slots for Second-level Hong Meng Controllers on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking.
In other words, there were currently only three slots for Level One Hong Meng Controllers and ten slots for Second-level Hong Meng Controllers remaining on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking.
In the past, it might have taken one to two thousand cycles for a Hong Meng being to appear who broke through the limitations of the Universe.
But now, it might only take a few cycles for a Hong Meng being to emerge from a Starry Sky Universe.
Roy was even certain that within this cycle, Tina and Off from the Starry Sky Universe had the potential to become Hong Meng beings.
Azure Dragon Sovereign Leding and White Tiger Sovereign Us, their innate divine abilities in the Magic Universe were related to space-time. Their cultivation speed in the Immortal Path realm would far surpass others. Even if they didn't become Hong Meng beings within this cycle, it would take at most ten cycles.
Lilia had the greatest potential in Roy's Starry Sky Universe. However, for her to perfect the Reincarnation Law, she first needed to perfect the Laws of Life, Death, and Water before she could elevate the Reincarnation Law to the supreme level.
Therefore, Roy didn't doubt her ability to become a Hong Meng being, but the time it would take for her to become one might be tens or even hundreds of cycles later.
"Restrictions?"
Hong Meng pondered for a moment, then smiled and shook his head.
"That's not necessary."
"It's just like the Lord Godheads in the Magic Universe; whoever obtains it first becomes the Lord God."
"The slots on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking are the same."
"Whoever becomes a Hong Meng being first will have the opportunity to choose whether to have their name inscribed on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking and become a Hong Meng Controller."
"However, there is currently only one slot left for a Level One Hong Meng Controller on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking. This slot will be decided by us three brothers. Those who are worthy of becoming our brothers will be allowed to have their names inscribed as Level One Hong Meng Controllers."
"As for the others, they will be arranged in order after the Second-level Hong Meng Controllers."
"From this day forward, you, and the future Hong Meng Controller, will all be my family, Hong Meng. Everyone else will merely be ordinary Hong Meng beings."
Hearing Hong Meng say this, Roy smiled.
"Indeed, Elder Brother. Regarding family, I also feel that four or five is about right. Any more, and the bonds will grow weaker."
"Mhm."
Linley nodded in agreement.
He deeply resonated with this point.
When his family consisted only of his father and younger brother, Hog and Barton were Linley's entire world.
But as his family grew – Delling Curt, Beibei, Dilia, Sasha Baruch, Tyler Baruch, Weidi Baruch...
Now, Linley felt that his primary concerns were his wife Dilia, his good brother Beibei, and his disciple Creviger.
It wasn't that he didn't care about the others, but they had their own families and friends, and their interactions with Linley's side had naturally decreased, leading to weaker emotional ties.
"Then it's decided."
"The Level One Hong Meng Controller slots will be discussed by us three brothers."
"Then, based on the time of entry into the Primordial Space, we'll let them freely choose whether to have their names inscribed on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking and become Hong Meng Controllers."
"Alright."
The three brothers didn't say any more on the topic.
Those with talent, like Roy, would not have their names inscribed on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking. They would directly create Universes comparable to those of Level One Hong Meng Controllers and become Level One Hong Meng Controllers like Hong Meng and the others.
Those without talent would have to accept their fate.
If they arrived early, they might still secure a slot as a Hong Meng Controller.
However, if the remaining seventy-three slots on the Hong Meng Golden Ranking were all used up, and the Primordial Space could no longer accommodate more Universes, they would only be able to become the lowest-tier Hong Meng beings.
...
In the Starry Sky Universe, Roy's breakthrough had completely ignited the cultivation passion of Palhouse and the others.
Occasionally, they would gather together, sharing their cultivation insights.
Although they cultivated different laws, listening to others' realizations often sparked inspiration.
Theresia, in turn, generously shared how she could comprehend the laws of others from the Emperor Script.
Upon hearing this, everyone marveled at Theresia's good fortune.
At the same time, they also expressed their gratitude to Theresia.
To facilitate their own faster progress, everyone also distributed their cultivation insights, encouraging them to spread them like the Sun Dynasty.
This way, although their received Mental Energy might be a bit mixed, as more people cultivated their respective laws, the Heavenly Dao Fruit would absorb the insights of other cultivators, allowing everyone to cultivate at a faster pace.
Thus, the Starry Sky Universe ushered in a cultivation craze.
Not only were there detailed theoretical guides for the cultivation of various laws, but even esteemed figures from other domains occasionally appeared to offer guidance.
Of course, no matter how much they promoted it, they always left room for "self-created laws."
As individuals personally invited into the Starry Sky Universe by Lord Roy, they knew how much Lord Roy valued "self-created laws."
Only Creators could possess the Heavenly Gifted Dao Fruit, gathering the insights of cultivators of the same type from across the entire Starry Sky Universe to help the Creator advance further.
It could be said that possessing a Dao Fruit increased their chances of advancing to the Immortal Path by fivefold.
As for cultivators without a Dao Fruit, unless they were truly extraordinarily talented, they would likely be stuck at the Quasi Heavenly Emperor realm.
...
Within the Primordial Space, after the three brothers reminisced for a while, Linley departed.
He was different from his eldest brother, Hong Meng, and his second brother, Roy.
Hong Meng was born from the Primordial Space, inherently supreme and noble.
Second brother Roy was astonishingly talented, with no one able to stand beside him.
Only he, a mere mortal, had a wife, children, friends, and family.
After Linley left, Hong Meng and Roy continued their conversation. In his excitement, Hong Meng forcefully patted Roy's shoulder.
Roy's current body had only just entered the Primordial Space, how could it withstand Hong Meng's immense strength?
With that one blow, he was directly smashed into a wisp of bloody mist.
"Uh..."
Hong Meng had never expected that his casual action would cause such trouble.
Fortunately, in the next moment, the River of Time flowed, and Roy's figure emerged from the River of Time.
"Big brother, if I didn't have a few tricks up my sleeve, you would have really smashed me to death."
"Haha, haha..."
Hong Meng awkwardly rubbed the back of his head. "Well, second brother, it was Big brother being too excited and not controlling my hands."
"I apologize to you."
"Forget it,"
Roy rolled his eyes. "It's only because I've proven my Dao through Space-Time. Otherwise, you really would have killed me."
The figure that appeared before Hong Meng this time was not the previous Fire Element Primordial Being, but Roy's own Space-Time Body.
Hong Meng's action this time also served as a reminder to Roy.
It would be best to maintain his strongest state when moving around in the Primordial Space from now on.
Otherwise, who knew when Big brother might smash another one of his bodies to pieces.
Although this was nothing to Roy.
As long as the River of Time existed, Roy could emerge from it at any time.
But being killed was never a pleasant feeling.
"By the way, Big brother, I want to create another space above the Starry Sky Universe that can accommodate Primordial Beings to live in. Can you give me some advice on how to do it?"
