Chapter 776 The Temple of Origin

Luo Yuan was well aware that meeting this universe controller was an extremely rare opportunity, because for the entire universe, this was arguably the strongest and highest-ranking super-powerful being. Under normal circumstances, no powerful being in the universe, including the creator gods, would be qualified to meet this universe controller.

Luo Yuan only has this opportunity because he became the most outstanding one in this battle of geniuses. Therefore, Luo Yuan feels that he cannot waste this opportunity, and the old man also seems very kind.

Therefore, Luo Yuan asked many questions about the entire universe. The purpose of all these questions was to let Luo Yuan know more about things outside this universe, thereby expanding Luo Yuan's worldview. Then he would be able to clearly know how he should develop next.

The true state of the universe is something that only the most powerful and high-ranking individuals can know. However, they usually only know a small part of it, meaning their knowledge is limited to what they can access.

Luo Yuan hasn't even reached the level of a Hunyuan Lord yet, so the gap between him and this universe controller is enormous. Therefore, the difference in their understanding is also very large. Luo Yuan hopes to understand the specific situation of the entire universe through this universe controller.

Even if this universe controller doesn't have a complete understanding of the universe, he still knows more than Luo Yuan. Luo Yuan had previously inquired about the truth of the universe from the Creator God, but the Creator God only held a very high position and had a high level of knowledge within the small universe they controlled.

As for the specific situation of the multiverse, which is at a higher level than them, the creator god actually knows very little. In response to Luo Yuan's question, this universe controller showed no impatience. After all, for this supreme being, his time was basically spent in cultivation, and even what appeared in front of Luo Yuan now was just an avatar.

Every time a battle of geniuses is held, the most outstanding geniuses are selected and brought before this universe controller. For this universe controller, it is just a matter of waiting for a while, but for these geniuses who stand out in the battle, they pay a heavy price.

That's how I was able to come here. So, answering some of the questions of these geniuses is a reward for them. After all, we will put these geniuses through even more rigorous tests next, in order to determine whether they are qualified to inherit the legacy.

So this universe controller answered the questions raised by Luo Yuan, especially regarding the specific situation of the multiverse. As the two communicated, Luo Yuan's worldview began to be truly perfected. It turned out that the universe controlled by those creator gods was a complete universe.

However, there are many of these universes. When they come together, they can form a multiverse. These multiverses are actually within a larger universe. Such universes are called independent universes. The reason why independent universes exist is that the rules within an independent universe are complete and exist independently, and are not affected by other universes.

As for the universes controlled by the creator gods, although their rules are different, they have very similarities. Therefore, no matter how they evolve, the various creatures and different cultivation systems that appear are very similar because their source rules are the same.

Therefore, under these circumstances, it is not a problem for someone like Luo Yuan to integrate various cultivation systems from different universes, because in essence they all lead to the same goal. Moreover, the more combat systems one integrates, the stronger one becomes. Luo Yuan's original approach of integrating different cultivation systems to enhance his combat power is not problematic in this independent universe.

However, this can only be accomplished here. If Luo Yuan leaves this independent universe and goes to other universes, then none of his cultivation systems will resonate with the cultivation systems of other universes, because they are completely different things in terms of the source rules.

Furthermore, forcibly merging cultivation systems from different independent universes would ultimately yield no benefits and would instead hinder one's future growth. When Luo Yuan learned of this, he was shocked and felt incredibly fortunate. Had he adopted a different cultivation method in another universe, he might have perished.

This also made Luo Yuan realize that the more information he knew about the universe, the greater the impact on his future development. This led Luo Yuan to change his original cultivation method. Of course, there are many more independent universes outside of the independent universes, but the exact number is unknown.

As for whether there is an even larger universe above the independent universe, no powerful being has been able to investigate it clearly so far. Even the universe controller in front of us only knows a little bit. According to the information detected, the entire universe is extremely vast, even to the point of having no boundaries.

In this situation, to understand what the universe is really like, one needs to continuously improve one's strength in order to truly understand it. However, the more one improves, the more room there is for improvement. Therefore, for super strong individuals, they are not worried about how big the universe is; the only thing they need to know is whether they can become stronger.

One thing is pretty much certain: once they break through to become the controllers of the universe, they will basically reach a whole new level, because at that point the rules of the universe will be unable to restrain such beings. They may even be able to create a multiverse themselves.

Although it would take a lot of time and resources, they could still do it if they had enough patience. Luo Yuan didn't know the extent of the universe controller's strength, but he knew that the universe controller was in such a hurry to find the successor.

Therefore, it is certain that the time it takes for him to break through to the next level should not be that long. Moreover, during the communication between Luo Yuan and this old man, he could clearly feel that the old man had great expectations and ideas for exploring the outside universe, because he could break free from the constraints of the universe's rules, which can be said to have reached a true level of freedom.

Furthermore, Luo Yuan understood why the inheritance of the universe controllers was so precious, and why it didn't require consuming so many resources or gathering all the super geniuses in the entire universe for a selection process to qualify for such an inheritance test. This was because the inheritance of the universe controllers was actually the method of controlling the most essential rules of the entire multiverse, that is, the method of controlling the source law.

When Luo Yuan learned of this news, he was very surprised and also very eager to obtain the inheritance of the universe controller. This was because the cultivation method that Luo Yuan was currently adopting was, to some extent, an attempt to integrate different cultivation systems to ultimately form a more powerful combat method.

This cultivation approach aims to integrate the most fundamental source laws, but achieving this is very difficult because you don't know how many powerful combat systems you need to integrate and then summarize and improve before you might be able to reach your goal.

However, the inheritance of the universe's controller has already revealed the most essential laws. If Luo Yuan can obtain it, he will not need to go through the trouble of integrating various cultivation systems, because Luo Yuan can directly cultivate the most powerful cultivation system in the entire universe.

It is also the most efficient cultivation method among the methods of controlling the source laws. Therefore, the inheritance of the universe controller is very precious. Even the creator gods want to obtain it, but they find it difficult to find an opportunity. Because whoever can control such inheritance and complete its cultivation can have the opportunity to break free from the control of the universe.

Of course, different independent universes will have different most powerful source laws. Since Luo Yuan appeared in this universe, he can only benefit from cultivating the source laws of this independent universe. If Luo Yuan can become the controller of the universe in the future...

Furthermore, once one transcends an independent universe, the source laws he cultivates will become his most important means of survival. In higher universes, there are actually more powerful rules, but they do not impose restrictions on the source laws of different independent universes.

On the contrary, it can be further improved and made even stronger. Luo Yuan felt that instead of constantly exploring an unknown path, it would be better to accept the powerful inheritance that this universe controller already possessed, because such an inheritance must have been a mature cultivation system formed after a long period of time and the continuous accumulation and summarization of countless strong people.

Even if Luo Yuan possesses extremely strong creative and comprehension abilities, it would be very difficult for him to eventually reach this point and develop a complete source law cultivation system. If any deviation occurs during the exploration process, it would mean that all of Luo Yuan's previous efforts would be meaningless.

In fact, there are many super geniuses who are very talented, but very few of them are able to grow into invincible beings. This is not only because their talents and abilities are limited, but also because of their luck. If they do not take the right path in the process of growth, they will go down the wrong road all the way.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible to become stronger; the only outcome would be death. Therefore, Luo Yuan felt that it would be better to accept the inheritance of these super strong individuals. Of course, this was different from his original idea because he did not have a good understanding of the specific situation of the universe.

In particular, the inheritance of the universe's controller involves too many things, which has exceeded Luo Yuan's original understanding. That's why he felt that he still needed to do his best in the process of undergoing the test. Of course, this does not mean that if Luo Yuan cannot obtain the inheritance, he will have no chance to improve his strength.

Luo Yuan felt that he could learn more through this test. Even if he failed, he could still have a foundation on his path of growth and continuously improve it. Perhaps he could even forge his own path and develop a complete set of source rules suitable for his own cultivation.

So after chatting with this universe controller, Luo Yuan smoothly began to prepare for the test of successor arranged for him by the old man. Such tests basically only give one chance. If you fail, you will lose the possibility of obtaining the inheritance forever. However, it is still very possible to become an existence that surpasses the creator god.

However, it will be very difficult to break free from the rules of an independent universe, unless one can create an independent universe. In fact, in the entire universe, besides the creator gods, there are also some super strong beings who are responsible for protecting the entire independent universe all year round.

Besides maintaining the safety of the entire universe, they are also constantly trying to develop entirely new independent universes. Therefore, it is impossible to meet such powerful beings. However, it is precisely because of their existence that independent universes can be guaranteed not to be disturbed by external universes.

These creator gods also have spare time to manage the universes they control. If Luo Yuan cannot become the successor of the universe controller, then he will become one of the guardians of independent universes. Of course, this does not mean that Luo Yuan cannot inherit the status of the creator god. It is because he will have a higher status and corresponding authority than the creator god.

The Creator God is not only a division of realms, but also a limitation of status, because as long as they are restricted by the rules of the universe, they can never break through the current realm. Luo Yuan felt that the operation of the entire universe can be said to be very orderly, and it did not feel like it was formed naturally. It was possible that it was really created by those so-called innate gods.

Next, Luo Yuan was led by the old man to a separate space. As a beam of light appeared and enveloped Luo Yuan, he found himself in front of a temple of unknown height. The temple looked very ancient and its power was stronger than any treasure Luo Yuan had ever seen before.

According to this universe controller, this temple is called the Origin Temple. It is the control core that evolved when the entire independent universe was created. It can also be used to manipulate all the rules of the entire independent universe. The universe controller is able to easily control all the rules and the powerful beings living in the entire universe because of the blessing of the Origin Temple.

Therefore, to truly obtain the inheritance, one must be recognized by the Primal Temple. In fact, this is equivalent to being recognized by the rules of the universe. Only by meeting such requirements can one be qualified to receive the inheritance and control it. After all, the Primal Temple is ultimately an entity formed by the rules of the universe of an independent universe.

When Luo Yuan entered the Temple of Origin, he was immediately able to sense a great deal of complex and numerous power of various rules. Although Luo Yuan had seen such power of rules in different places before, they were only the simplest rule runes. All the rule runes here were the most powerful and the source of other runes.

Chapter 777 Fusion

After Luo Yuan was ready, he began the final test. This test would determine whether Luo Yuan could become the sole inheritor of the universe's controller. Such an opportunity was extremely rare. After so many geniuses fought, only by achieving final victory could they have such a chance.

And there is only one chance to be tested, so Luo Yuan must seize this opportunity. Luo Yuan has actually gone through countless tests before, and along the way he has accomplished things that other geniuses could hardly do.

Therefore, he already has a wealth of experience, and he is now in a very calm state of mind, without being too nervous or excited. Because no matter whether he wins in the end, it does not mean that Luo Yuan's future will be cut off. Even if he fails to pass the test in the end, he can still rely on his own efforts in the future.

Creating a completely new, independent universe is an extremely difficult path, but if it can be achieved, the future prospects will be far superior to those of the current universe controller. In fact, Luo Yuan very much wanted to take the second path, but he also understood the implications of this path.

If the problems that arise during the process will cause him a lot of trouble, and he will take many detours without the knowledge of any powerful figures, Luo Yuan feels that it is still necessary to pass this test and obtain the strongest inheritance of that universe controller. After the test ends, whether or not to continue on this path will depend on his own thoughts.

In other words, Luo Yuan doesn't necessarily have to follow the path already planned by the current universe controller. He can use it as a reference and then summarize the path that is most suitable for his own development. Luo Yuan always believes that standing on the shoulders of giants will make the scenery more magnificent and the journey smoother.

If you blindly explore on your own, the chances of success are relatively low, and there will be many dangers. For example, Luo Yuan did not know the rules of the independent universe before, so he did not encounter any problems in the process of integrating different universe cultivation systems.

However, if he continues down this path, it might one day cause her intractable trouble. In any case, Luo Yuan must always stick to his own path so that he can go further, gain more powerful connections and a stronger foundation, and become extremely powerful.

Following someone else's path will inevitably lead to an end. Once problems arise, it will be very difficult to solve them on your own. Moreover, changing the path you've already taken and starting over will come at a very high price. After entering the Origin Temple, Luo Yuan arrived at the first level and received a lot of relevant information, which were also the requirements for his next test.

To pass the test, one must first possess the means and comprehension to integrate different cultivation systems. Without such ability, even if the inheritance were placed in front of Luo Yuan, he would not be able to understand it, let alone learn it. Therefore, the first test is whether one has the qualification to come into contact with the inheritance.

If you fail the first test, it will be even more impossible to proceed to the next test. In other words, to access the inheritance, you must first meet certain prerequisites. You cannot access the inheritance from the beginning. If you do not have the corresponding ability to rashly access the inheritance, you will not only not gain any benefits, but you will also be in great danger.

In fact, countless genius battles like this have been organized throughout the multiverse, but after they fought, all they received was the qualification to undergo a test. However, based on the information we have now, no genius has ever reached the level of mastering the inheritance.

This shows how difficult it is to obtain a legacy. However, Luo Yuan was already mentally prepared, so he had nothing to worry about. He had tried to integrate different cultivation systems before, so he had relevant experience.

Moreover, the number of cultivation systems that Luo Yuan will face in this trial is greater than what he has seen before. This is because Luo Yuan previously only analyzed and understood the cultivation systems of combat geniuses during battles, and he analyzed and mastered them from scratch.

Actually, there were still some problems in the whole process, since all of this was based on Luo Yuan's own understanding. However, the cultivation system that Luo Yuan was seeing now was a complete system from a different universe, and these cultivation systems had clearly shown all the details.

Therefore, if Luo Yuan can integrate all these cultivation systems, the benefits he will gain will far exceed all the cultivation systems he obtained in the previous battles of geniuses. Moreover, Luo Yuan can also take this opportunity to improve his own core essence. Luo Yuan believes that even without the corresponding inheritance, he will be able to go further on his journey.

Luo Yuan believed that even if he couldn't obtain the final inheritance, he could still deduce it by combining different cultivation systems. He could also completely deduce the true master's inheritance. However, this was a huge undertaking, and Luo Yuan would need to travel to different universes to obtain the corresponding cultivation systems.

Whether the creator gods of those universes will accept Luo Yuan's request and give him their complete cultivation systems remains to be seen. It is very difficult, but if he succeeds, the benefits he will receive will be enormous. However, if Luo Yuan can pass all the tests in this trial, he will not have such troubles and can directly control the most fundamental laws of inheritance.

However, Luo Yuan knew that integrating all these complex cultivation systems together would not be easy, as it was more difficult than integrating the cultivation systems of different geniuses and experts. But Luo Yuan had enough time and patience to do this, and since he was currently undergoing a test, no other geniuses and experts would disturb him.

Therefore, Luo Yuan can now focus on this research with peace of mind. As long as he can fully integrate the different cultivation systems, he might be able to reverse-engineer a very complete inheritance system. Luo Yuan believes that this is the kind of method he should truly pursue and try every means to obtain.

Any powerful individual will encounter various cultivation systems during their cultivation process. The choice of which cultivation system they choose determines the extent to which they can grow in the future, and it is also closely related to the path they will take in the future.

Luo Yuan felt that if he could integrate all the cultivation traditions here, even if he couldn't obtain the inheritance of that universe controller, he would still have a very good theoretical foundation, making it easier for him to deduce a cultivation system suitable for himself.

So Luo Yuan immersed himself in the process of integrating the cultivation system. Time passed quickly, and Luo Yuan had forgotten the concept of things. Moreover, as his integration process accelerated, he could clearly feel that the power he had mastered was much stronger than before.

However, Luo Yuan also understood some of the shortcomings he had in the fusion process. Because he did not have a complete cultivation civilization system before, he was only a prominent part of it. In the end, the fusion result was not so good, which made the cultivation system he fused had many shortcomings.

Furthermore, the most obvious characteristic is that there are some uncontrollable flaws in the original core. Regardless of the cultivation system, the most important thing is the original core, because it is the source for them to research and develop different cultivation systems and combat methods. Without a powerful original core, it is difficult to fully control these cultivation systems.

Time passed quickly, and Luo Yuan could clearly feel that he had spent a lot of time here. However, he wanted to truly integrate the different cultivation systems and form them into a completely new system. This was much more difficult than he had originally expected. Moreover, Luo Yuan discovered a very interesting phenomenon during the integration process.

These cultivation systems, originating from different microcosms within the same independent universe, share some similarities. Although their fundamental cores differ, they can generally complement each other during the fusion process, thus becoming even more powerful cores.

Even though there are huge differences between those different cultivation systems, they are only reflected in different combat styles and methods. In fact, the most important basis for judging a cultivation system is its core. Therefore, if you can perfectly control and integrate all these cores when integrating different cultivation systems, you can truly achieve the perfection of different systems.

In the process of fighting those geniuses, Luo Yuan only learned the various combat techniques they possessed. Moreover, he was only trying to deduce the operating mode of their core essence by constantly analyzing these combat techniques.

However, this efficiency was very low, and Luo Yuan discovered that the methods he had learned at that time actually had a very limited effect on improving himself. This was because if one did not understand the core essence and only learned the opponent's combat techniques, it was putting the cart before the horse.

No matter how Luo Yuan merges, he ultimately relies on his original core essence. He only enhances it slightly during the fusion process. Therefore, Luo Yuan feels that his strength has increased a lot. This is because his current realm and strength are already very strong, so even a slight improvement can lead to a qualitative leap.

The problem is that, in Luo Yuan's current view, such a speed and efficiency of improvement is actually very low. Moreover, if he could master and integrate the core of all the cultivation systems provided by the Origin God Temple, then Luo Yuan's strength would increase by countless times compared to before.

This also made Luo Yuan understand why so many geniuses fight so hard. Even if they can't obtain the inheritance in the end, they still get to experience the so-called test. Because the test itself is a great opportunity. If they can learn more in the test, it will be more beneficial to their future cultivation.

After learning this information, Luo Yuan's enthusiasm for accepting the test increased significantly, because it would allow him to increase his strength as quickly as possible. Even if Luo Yuan couldn't break through his current realm here, his actual combat power would be much stronger than those Hunyuan Lord-level experts.

When Luo Yuan truly breaks through to a new realm, he will possess unparalleled strength. Perhaps Luo Yuan, though only a world-class Hunyuan level cultivator, will possess the invincible strength of a Hunyuan Lord. Such an attraction would be highly coveted by any Hunyuan powerhouse.

This also explains why so many powerful individuals who passed the challenge of the Genius Battle were able to possess great strength and status even without obtaining the inheritance. All the geniuses who could leave this Origin Temple had an incredibly bright future, and they would also possess a much stronger foundation and strength than other geniuses.

Even if they don't become geniuses at the level of Hunyuan Lords, they can still crush those Hunyuan Lords, and might even be able to improve to a level comparable to the Creator God. Luo Yuan felt that if he could pass all the tests here, then even without improving his cultivation, he could be like those Creator Gods, possessing incomparably powerful strength and methods.

The integration of different cultivation systems is actually quite simple. If you only focus on the various combat techniques, the final result will be very low. The smartest approach is to focus on the core essence of the cultivation system.

Because all combat methods evolved from the original core, as long as the core can be controlled, no matter how complex these methods are, it will not have any impact. Originally, Luo Yuan also planned to see if he could share the core of their combat system with the other creator gods after the genius battle.

But now such worries are gone, because these things were presented directly to Luo Yuan in the Origin Temple. For Luo Yuan, it was as if all these treasures had been given to him. For other geniuses, these were things that were unattainable, but in the Origin Temple, they were just tools for testing.

This method can be described as extremely powerful, and it is something that Luo Yuan greatly admires. Luo Yuan also knows that for the controllers of the universe, these so-called cultivation systems are actually not very meaningful, because they have already broken free from the limitations of the original rules and can even create entirely new original cores through their own ideas.

Moreover, the inheritance of the universe controller is the most fundamental element among the cores of these different cultivation systems. In other words, the different origin cores are all evolved from the universe rules controlled by the universe controller. These are completely different dimensions and gaps. If Luo Yuan can pass all the tests...

If he were to ultimately obtain the inheritance of that universe controller, he could directly control the source core of the entire multiverse in one step. For Luo Yuan, this would save him more time and energy than he imagined. Every strong person understands one principle: to become stronger, one not only needs the corresponding conditions and cultivation aptitude, but also higher-level cultivation resources and secret techniques.

Only in this way can one grow faster and stronger. Although there are many powerful geniuses who, even without these resources and inheritances, can still perfect these things through their own understanding and creation during the cultivation process, they will consume a lot of time, making their path to growth more difficult.

Those who possess powerful resources and inherited knowledge will grow faster than those with exceptional talent. If the gap between the two widens, the latter will definitely gain more advantages.

Chapter 778 The Road Ahead

Luo Yuan discovered that as his strength increased, once he reached a very high level, the number of strong people would decrease, and he would even lose many interesting things on his path of growth. Moreover, there would be very few strong people who could accompany him on his growth journey, and he would have more enemies.

Moreover, the path of the strong is always very lonely. In the past, when Luo Yuan wanted to improve his strength, there might have been some strong people who could help him. But now he finds that he has to rely on his own efforts to comprehend and master things. So he can only rely on himself. Now that he is undergoing trials, there will be no one to help him.

Everything depends on himself, and it will definitely take a lot of time to truly pass the test. Luo Yuan and the others don't know exactly how much time they need to spend here to complete it, but this is the only way he can do. In order to become stronger and become the protector of what he cares about, he must persevere.
