Panlong: Transcending from the Dominator of the Water System

Chapter 174 Magic Circle Fusion, Achieving Mastery

"Buzz~~"

At this moment, the violent tremor was felt throughout the entire divine plane. Auf, who had just left, was suddenly startled and turned his head in shock to look in the direction of the Qingya plane.

At this moment, within the Qingya plane, a massive gray array suddenly pierced through space and surged into the depths of the spatial turbulence.

"Hope? What's wrong with him?"

A thoughtful look appeared in Auf's eyes as he transformed into a streak of light and dashed away.

Soon, all the main gods rushed out, one by one entering the spatial turbulence, their faces filled with horror.

The hazy energy contained a terrifying pressure that chilled the heart, and for a moment, the gods felt an instinctive fear.

"Then, what is that?"

The Death Sovereign's delicate body trembled slightly as she pointed at the area covered by gray energy, seemingly at a loss.

"Shh!"

The gray energy suddenly contracted and transformed into Hope's figure, but at this moment, in the eyes of the gods, Hope seemed to have lost all vitality.

"Is this what it feels like to be in control?"

Hope felt the water god's avatar completely merge with his main body. At this moment, Hope only had a body left, but he could clearly feel that his control over heaven and earth surpassed the control of the main god and the power of his will.

"Those who don't want to die had better stay away!"

Hope glanced at the many main gods, then flew directly into the depths of the spatial turbulence, forming a sword with two fingers and instantly slashing at the spatial turbulence.

At this moment, the spatial turbulence was as if it were a piece of paper, directly cut apart, and the space within a radius of hundreds of millions of miles was shrouded in a special darkness.

From a distance, it appears as a peculiar black hole, an existence beyond the comprehension of the Dark God, with massive amounts of gray energy cascading down like magma.

In just a moment, the gray energy pierced through billions of miles of space, instantly annihilating more than ten main gods, leaving not even a single godhood behind.

"What was that just now? Hope... he disappeared?"

The Lord of Death, who had long since departed, spoke with lingering fear, his expression blank.

"Has the Ruler gone beyond the heavens and earth?"

Ninisha looked in the direction Hope had disappeared and murmured softly.

Upon hearing Hope's voice, Nini and the others immediately fled away, avoiding the gray energy's influence, but they still witnessed Hope being swallowed by the gray energy.

"Under that kind of energy, no life could survive, right?"

Parhouse spoke hesitantly, his expression turning somewhat flustered.

"No, that can't be. The Overlord first emerged from the gray magic circle, and then broke through space."

Lin Lei spoke slowly, his tone carrying a hint of understanding:
"If I'm not mistaken, the Overlord transformed his body into one composed of that gray energy, which is an energy from outside the heavens and earth. The Overlord knew that the God could not withstand that energy, so he first transformed his body, then broke through the heavens and earth and entered it."

"You mean, modify your body to make yourself compatible with energies from beyond heaven and earth? Am I on the wrong path?"

Ouf's expression shifted, and he murmured softly. Then, as if suddenly remembering something, he looked at Linley and spoke:
“I remember, I just saw it. Hope’s magic array seems to be a fusion of his water-type god power with three other arrays, namely the earth-type, fire-type, and wind-type god power. Linley, you have exactly four clones, right?”

As he spoke, Ouf swung his right hand, instantly killing a lower-level water-type god and presenting the godhood to Linley.

"this?"

Linley was slightly taken aback, but seeing the fervor in Auf's eyes, he didn't say anything more and refined the last Godhead.

Instantly, the same fluctuations began to emerge, and Linley's clones began to disappear, until only a physical body remained, with fluctuations on its body exactly the same as Hope's.

"Oh, I see! I took the wrong turn!"

A hint of sadness flickered in Ouf's eyes, followed by a resolute glint.

Linley ignored the crazed Ouf and flew at top speed into the depths of the spatial turbulence. This time, all the main gods had left far behind.

After the gray energy surged in, the spatial turbulence returned to silence, as if nothing had happened.

...Hongmeng Space
"Hmm? Third Brother came out so quickly!"

Hongmeng showed a hint of surprise, then understood, and immediately smiled and took Lin Lei's hand.

"Third brother? Are you calling me? Master, what's going on?"

Lin Lei didn't push Hong Meng's hand away, but looked at Hope with a puzzled expression.

"Haha, from now on, you should call me Second Brother. Second Brother, you explain that."

Hongmeng laughed heartily. He was overjoyed that two people had appeared at once after more than a thousand epochs of evolution.

Hope smiled slightly and explained to Linley the Primordial Space, the Primordial Controller, the main universe, the subsidiary magical universe, and the future creation of universes.

"I see, I never expected it to be like this."

Linley looked at the magical universe, which seemed small compared to the main universe, and felt a sense of感慨 (gǎnkǎi, a feeling of mixed emotions, often including regret or reflection).

Then, Lin Lei suddenly thought of something and looked at Hongmeng, asking:

"Brother Hongmeng, is it possible for our universe's Orph to transcend?"

"Impossible. Firstly, only those whose fate is unpredictable can transcend it. Auf is the destined master of perfect destiny."

"Secondly, since he has a destiny clone, he is destined to be unable to achieve the Primordial Body. The Primordial Body requires four clones: earth, wind, water, and fire. None of them can be missing, and none can be added."

At this point, Hongmeng paused, glanced at Hope with a hint of appreciation in his eyes, and continued:
"My second brother took a different approach, using the most core magic array in the magic universe to replace his clone, thus forming a fusion of earth, wind, water, and fire. As for you, my third brother, you are a fusion of four clones due to a soul mutation."

"I see. So, luck played a big part in my transcendence!"

Lin Lei spoke with some emotion, saying that he hadn't paid much price for his soul mutation; he had simply endured it through sheer resilience.

"By the way, elder brother, if any of the gods of earth, wind, water, and fire learn my methods in the future, is it possible for them to transcend?"

Hope thought for a moment and then asked, "Unlike Linley's soul mutation, the path Hope took can be replicated."

"Hahaha, impossible. To be a transcendent being, one must first be someone whose fate is unpredictable. Others cannot understand your principles."

Hongmeng smiled and shook his head, not finding Hope's question strange at all.

"I see."

Hope also roughly understood that the fusion principle of the special magic circle in his mind could only be understood by those whose fate was unpredictable. Just like the move of transcending reincarnation, Augusta also knew the principle but could not use it.

"Judging from my brother's expression, he probably doesn't know about Lin Lei's fate."

Hope sighed inwardly. After talking a lot with Hongmeng, he was certain that Hongmeng's understanding of Lin Lei was that fate was unpredictable.

Based on his own memories and Linley's experiences, Hope can basically deduce that Linley is a person with a fixed destiny outside the Hongmeng Space, and a destined controller of Hongmeng.

"Outside of the Hongmeng space? That's something to look forward to!"

Hope smiled and looked up at the sky above the Hongmeng Space, as if trying to see through something from afar.

"Second brother, what are you thinking about?"

Seeing this, Hongmeng was puzzled and asked.

"I'm thinking, when I was in the magical universe, there were empires outside empires, continents outside continents, divine planes outside material planes, and primordial chaos space outside spatial turbulence. So, what lies outside primordial chaos space?"

Hope chuckled and spoke calmly to Hongmeng.

“Your idea is good. However, what you and your third brother should do now is create a universe. In the future, we can explore beyond the Hongmeng Space together.”

Hongmeng was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter and spoke in a gentle tone.

“You’re right, brother.”

Hope nodded, temporarily withdrawing her inquiries; after all, time meant nothing to them.

Perhaps one day in the future, Hope, together with Hongmeng and Lin Lei, will break through the Hongmeng space and enter a higher level of world.
