Chapter 251: The Eternal True Realm
Afterward, Roy tossed the Hong Meng Realm into the River of Time and Space.
After a few undulations within the River of Time and Space, the Hong Meng Realm quickly surged to the "present" position within it. Then, it subtly moved ahead of "the present" by one position, leading the "future" of the Starry Sky Universe.
"Finally, it's done."
As the Hong Meng Realm returned to its place, the entire Starry Sky Universe vibrated.
However, this vibration was only perceptible to Hong Meng and Roy.
Following this tremor, the Starry Sky Universe exuded an aura of "eternal immortality."
It was as if, even if the Primordial Space were to shatter, it would remain in its current state forever.
Past – Netherworld.
Present – Starry Sky Universe.
Future – Hong Meng Realm.
Now, Roy had completely consolidated the timeline of the Starry Sky Universe. The past was consigned to the Netherworld, the future extended to the Hong Meng Realm, and the present was anchored in the Starry Sky Universe. The three were united, achieving a unique, eternal universe.
Perhaps, Roy's Starry Sky Universe could now be called the "Eternal True Realm" of the Primordial Space.
This advancement of the Starry Sky Universe allowed Roy's strength to completely surpass the limitations of the Primordial Space.
Roy felt that if he were to unleash his full power, the entire Primordial Space might be shattered by him.
However, Roy did not intend to actually shatter the Primordial Space.
Roy was not certain whether, if he broke the Primordial Space, the universes and beings within it, including Hong Meng and Linley, would instantly perish.
Of course, Roy could also have Hong Meng and Linley bring those he cared about into the Starry Sky Universe. With the current level of the Starry Sky Universe, even if the Primordial Space were to annihilate, it would not cause the slightest disturbance.
But before such a thought could even fully form, Roy suppressed it.
Seeing the Hong Meng Realm vanish, even with Hong Meng's sharp eyesight, he couldn't locate it.
Instantly, Hong Meng became animated. His eyes seemed to burn with yellow flames as he scanned the Starry Sky Universe.
But no matter how Hong Meng searched, he could only see the Starry Sky Universe and the Netherworld.
"Second Brother, where is this Hong Meng Realm? I saw you integrate it into the Starry Sky Universe with my own eyes, but I can't find it anywhere."
"Haha, Big Brother, you're looking in the wrong direction."
Seeing Hong Meng's predicament, Roy chuckled. "Big Brother, the Hong Meng Realm does not exist in the present or past of the Starry Sky Universe. It is located in the future of the Starry Sky Universe."
"The way you're searching is like looking into the distance with your back to your target. No matter how far you look, you won't see the Hong Meng Realm."
"If you want to find the Hong Meng Realm, you must go beyond the timeline of the Starry Sky Universe and travel to its future."
"So that's how it is."
Hearing Roy's words, Hong Meng finally understood.
That's right, his Second Brother Roy had initially stated his intention to refine the future of the Starry Sky Universe into a world where beings of the Hong Meng could live and battle. Since it was the future, how could he find it without using the power of time?
At that, Hong Meng manifested time and space. The white Law of Time began to swirl around him.
Indeed, with this, Hong Meng could see that real yet illusory world.
It was real because, although it was situated in the future, it truly existed.
It was illusory because those "in the present" could never reach that "future."
This was because the "future" Roy used to create the Hong Meng Realm was not the "future" the Starry Sky Universe had reached.
Each moment, a determined "future" detached from the Hong Meng Realm and became the "present" of the Starry Sky Universe.
Those futures that the Starry Sky Universe would never reach were the "Hong Meng Realm."
Accelerating his own time, allowing his time to surpass that of the Starry Sky Universe and reach its future, Hong Meng took a step and entered the Hong Meng Realm.
Roy smiled slightly and also stepped into the Hong Meng Realm.
When Roy entered the Hong Meng Realm, he saw Hong Meng already engrossed in playing there.
The Hong Meng Realm, while appearing as just one world, was actually a world created by Roy from countless possible "futures" of the Starry Sky Universe. It had countless layers of space alone.
When fighting within the Hong Meng Realm, if you destroyed one layer of space, countless more layers awaited you.
As long as the Starry Sky Universe existed, countless future spaces would merge into the Hong Meng Realm at any time.
"Boom!"
Hong Meng unleashed a punch, and the space before him began to shatter like glass.
In any ordinary universe, Hong Meng's punch would have been enough to destroy it.
Even the Hong Meng Realm could not withstand Hong Meng's punch.
Soon, the space of the entire Hong Meng Realm instantly collapsed.
However, after this layer of space in the Hong Meng Realm was destroyed, another Hong Meng Realm, identical to the previous one, was revealed.
The residual shockwave from Hong Meng's previous punch, after destroying one layer of the Hong Meng Realm's space, continued to spread, until it had destroyed over a hundred layers of space before finally dissipating.
"Good, that's more like it!"
Seeing this, Hong Meng's eyes lit up.
Having lived for so many years, this was the first time Hong Meng had fully unleashed his physical strength.
Roy, too, was startled by Hong Meng's power.
This was the Hong Meng Realm, after all, and each layer of space was equivalent to the strength of the Starry Sky Universe.
Yet, with this kind of universe, Hong Meng could destroy over a hundred layers with a single punch?
If it were him…
Roy estimated that if he didn't use the Time Law, relying solely on his physical strength, his previous Space-Time Body could at most destroy about one hundred and ten to one hundred and twenty layers of the Hong Meng Realm.
Hong Meng's punch just now had shattered a hundred and fifty layers of the Hong Meng Realm, thirty more than Roy.
As expected, the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body truly lived up to its reputation as the strongest physique in the Primordial Space.
If it were the Hong Meng Body, it could at best shatter only one layer of the Hong Meng Realm.
Although Hong Meng's Xuanhuang Indestructible Body was powerful, Roy didn't envy it.
His Space-Time Body might not match the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body in terms of raw power, but its myriad profound mysteries were beyond the reach of the Xuanhuang Indestructible Body.
For instance, no matter how much time Hong Meng was given, he couldn't possibly create a universe like the Hong Meng Realm.
Moreover, having already reined in the timeline and completed the trinity of past, present, and future, Roy himself didn't know the extent of his current power.
However, Roy knew that if he wished to destroy the Hong Meng Realm, he could directly pull out the River of Time and Space and intervene at the very beginning of the Hong Meng Realm's creation, preventing its birth.
In that way, the Hong Meng Realm would naturally collapse.
Of course, that was assuming that his past self on the timeline wouldn't stop him.
Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to destroy the Hong Meng Realm either.
"Haha, second brother, shall we have another match?"
"Let's forget it, eldest brother."
Facing Hong Meng's challenge, Roy smiled and shook his head. "After creating the Hong Meng Realm, my universe has undergone another round of strengthening. If you want to fight to your heart's content, eldest brother, it's better to call for third brother."
"Oh?"
Hearing Roy's words, Hong Meng raised an eyebrow.
He and his second brother, Roy, had fought before.
But that was when they were fighting in the Primordial Space, and his second brother, Roy, had pulled out the River of Time and Space. Hundreds of Roys from different timelines had ganged up on him, and he had no choice but to concede.
Now his second brother claimed to have grown even stronger, so strong that he didn't even want to fight him. This was truly reaching for the stars!
"Never mind, third brother hasn't been gone for long, it wouldn't be good to bother him again."
"However, second brother, give eldest brother a definite answer, just how powerful have you become now?"
"Hmm, I can probably shatter the Primordial Space now…"
"…"
Hong Meng looked at Roy, then shook his head.
Indeed, people truly cannot be compared.
Shattering the Primordial Space was something Hong Meng wouldn't even dare to imagine, yet his second brother could already do it.
"Forget it, I'll go see if my universe has any room for improvement!"
With that, the deeply dejected Hong Meng stepped out of the Hong Meng Realm, preparing to return to his main universe and give those hundreds of Heavenly Venerates a bit more pressure, urging them to quickly fuse with the Time Law to enhance the foundation of the Hong Meng Universe.
Returning to his own home, he waved his hand, bringing forth the main universe of the Hong Meng Universe and its four affiliated universes. He had a thought, but in the end, he sighed and put away these projections.
"Forget it, I'll mention it next time everyone gathers…"
"After all, both second brother and third brother care quite a bit about the beings in the universe."
…
Hong Meng had left, but Roy was still in the Hong Meng Realm.
Looking at the layered spaces, Roy couldn't have been more satisfied.
With Hong Meng's help, the Hong Meng Realm perfectly met Roy's requirements.
With a thought, within the Hong Meng Realm, endless land was born: underground volcanoes, towering cliffs, mountains of blades, tombs of swords, glaciers, forests, oceans…
In the sky, floating islands drifted in the air, arranged in a tiered manner.
At the very top of all the floating islands were four colossal gateways.
Each Heavenly Gate was a hundred meters tall and ten meters wide.
In the very center of the vortex of these gateways, there was a single character in each.
In the eastern Heavenly Gate, there was the character "Hong".
In the western Heavenly Gate, there was the character "Roy".
In the southern celestial gate, the character "Lin" was displayed.
The northern celestial gate was empty, with no character on it.
Ten thousand meters below these four celestial gates were ten massive floating islands.
A level further down were sixty smaller floating islands.
In Roy's plan, after the four celestial gates came the celestial palaces of the four Level One Hong Meng Controllers. Roy had banished them into the River of Time and Space within the Hong Meng Realm, making them eternally immortal.
As long as the Hong Meng Realm existed, these four celestial palaces would continue to exist.
This meant that everything within the Hong Meng Realm would exist eternally, unless it was erased from time itself.
While Roy hadn't integrated the existence of the floating islands into the River of Time and Space, they still existed within the countless spaces of the Hong Meng Realm.
If a floating island in one space were destroyed, another could simply be pulled from another space.
These floating islands served as the residences for Hong Meng Controllers within the Hong Meng Realm.
The infinite land below was where other Hong Meng beings lived.
