Please be my partner.

A very simple and basic principle... Between a palm-sized rock and a mountain thousands of meters high, which one can receive more sunlight at the same time?

The answer is obvious!

After gaining enlightenment about the [Starry Sea], Mellen realized that if he wanted to increase his strength more quickly, increasing his size and receiving more cosmic light would be a good choice.

However, even if Melen uses the power of the Void Dog, he can only expand his body to a level close to a miniature universe at most.

Although a small universe is already quite large compared to Mellen himself, there are medium-sized universes and large universes above the small universe!

It's important to understand that the size difference between a large universe and a small universe is more than a million times!

As the saying goes, sharpening your axe won't delay your woodcutting.

If one could occupy a large universe, substitute one's own heart for the will of heaven, and use it to operate the [Star Sea], then Mellen's cultivation speed, even if it couldn't directly increase a million times, would be enough to soar to an unimaginable level.

Moreover, the reason Murron had this idea was because he wanted to help Sir Wright break free from the predicament of being bound by the world, and he specifically sought out many related supernatural powers and magic arts...

[The Art of Reversing Fate and Usurping Heaven]: By reshaping the laws of a local universe with one's own will, the natural laws within the scope of influence can be rewritten into a state of 'unique law by me'.

【The Sutra of the Mind: All Tribulations You Experience】: Transform all the tribulations you have experienced into the 'fire of the mind', burn away all the predetermined causes and effects of the universe within its range, and forcibly implant a new causal chain dominated by your own will.

【Eternal Stillness and Formlessness】: Transform your own will into a 'formless black hole', devour and assimilate the rule fragments of the universe's will, and gradually replace your own existence as the new origin of the universe.

【The Time Ruins Return to Truth Method】: Open up the 'Time Ruins Secret Realm' in your mind, fold the universe's timeline within it, and you can extract the power of any timeline at any time for your own use.

【The Book of Nine Tribulations of the Dao】: Writes a 'pseudo-Heavenly Dao Contract' with one's own will, forcing the will of the universe to acknowledge the contents of the contract as the supreme law, lasting for a maximum of nine breaths.

……

……

Although practicing and using similar techniques requires paying a price, as long as one succeeds, the price is not unacceptable.

Unfortunately, Murren found no trace of Sir Wright in the vast universe, and even the vampire world and the entire world community disappeared.

Fortunately, the search for these supernatural powers and immortal techniques was not entirely in vain. By combining them with the ideas in the lineage of the [Chosen One], [Star Binder], and [World Devourer], as long as a suitable opportunity is found, Mellen is confident that he can take over the will of the universe!

Mellen's original goal was the Starry Universe, but after investigation, it was found that the Starry Universe was not suitable.

Because the starry universe is composed of countless dimensions and worlds, each independent space has a weak world will. Only when countless world wills come together can they form the will of the starry universe.

If Mellen wants to take over the starry universe, he needs to push through layers of dimensions and worlds one by one. Although this greatly reduces the difficulty of taking over, it makes the time required for taking over infinitely long.

More importantly, Mellen's actions cannot be hidden. Once he starts, it will probably be discovered very soon.

This is different from Garurumon's evolution, which only requires recording dimensions and the spatial structure of the world. Melon's approach is to make the entire starry universe take his shape. Not to mention the hidden supreme beings, even the dragons would be the first to object.

Therefore, after realizing that he could not achieve his goal, Mellen turned his attention to the Beast Universe.

Then, Mellen received a fairly satisfactory answer!

The Beast Universe is just perfect for this!!

After arriving in the Beast Universe, Melen did a lot... forming alliances, expanding his power, winning people's hearts, gaining status, and repairing the universe...

Saving all living beings is just a side effect of all this; the real purpose has always been the same: to completely occupy the universe of all beasts and make it his own collector of cosmic brilliance!

When dealing with large universes, even a Dao Venerable must proceed with extreme caution and tread carefully, unless the goal is destruction.

Although Mellen has some tricks up his sleeve, he is not careless and does everything to the best of his ability.

Now is the time to close the net!

The Universe of Beasts has already absorbed a large amount of Melon's power, so it naturally wouldn't resist the inner universe that Melon had opened up to him.

As his most fundamental power dwindled, Mellen's cultivation began to decline visibly. His body became withered, his inner universe gradually shrank, and his aura became as weak as a candle flickering in the wind.

However, at the same time, the power flowing into the core of the Myriad Beasts Universe carried a lot of 'private agendas'. These hidden forces began to rapidly differentiate and infiltrate, trying to transform the core of the Myriad Beasts Universe into other 'shapes'.

Within the core of the source, the power belonging to Mellen faintly formed a complete network, and a cryptic consciousness flickered slightly: "Finally, we've been tricked!"

Currently, Mellen is both at his weakest and strongest.

The reason for his weakness is that Mellen's cultivation has almost completely disappeared, and even the dogs have merged into Mellen's body, entering a state of near-nonexistence.

The reason he is so strong is that Mellen is completely bound to the core of the Beast Universe's origin. To harm him, one must first break through the Beast Universe's core protection.

Of course, even if someone were to break through the root defenses of the Myriad Beasts Universe and attack Mellen, Mellen would only die once at most. Don't forget, he still has a record in the Golden Jade Immortal Sect and possesses 'resurrection coins'.

At this moment, Mellen is like a top-notch hacker, starting with basic privileges and gradually seizing higher privileges, with the ultimate goal of conquering the entire Beast Universe.

When his authority was raised to a certain level, the first thing Melen did was to gather all the clan secret realms of all the Fire Seed Alliance clans into one place and unify them.

This kind of mixed-gathering secret realm is certainly no match for the clan secret realms of the Xuanfeng and Youhu, which have been specially modified and refined through countless trials.

However, the vastness of the Miscellaneous Realm makes it more than capable of handling the initial catastrophes of nature.

With this foundation, the Fire Seed Alliance can save more races, gather more power from all living beings, elevate Melen's status to a higher position, and create a virtuous cycle.

When the year 63 arrived, the two universes finally crossed the vast distance and officially came into contact, which also meant that the fusion of the two universes had truly begun!

The process of fusion is not only a struggle between the two universes, but also a struggle between the remaining life forms in the two universes.

The winner will take the lead and become the dominant force.

The loser will become nourishment to be devoured, losing everything.

The war between universes was not originally so brutal; in fact, under normal circumstances, the two universes could not actually collide.

But what this world has in abundance is human nature!

With the support of the supreme powers of two universes, and after millions of years of planning, even large universes can only drift along with the tide and accept their own destiny under the surging torrent that has already begun.

In their struggle for dominance, the two large universes continued to vie for control. They stopped wasting any energy and gradually ceased the self-circulation within their respective universes, causing the environments of both universes to deteriorate.

Comparatively speaking, the Starry Universe is better because, due to its unique structure, each world possesses a faint independent will, and at the current stage, it can still provide some protection to the beings within it.

However, it is foreseeable that, as time goes on, mass extinctions will still occur when a certain critical point is approached.

The Xuanfeng and Youhu clans were not idle either. They launched various plans that had been in place for millions of years to regulate the universe of all beasts from a macro perspective.

Unfortunately, although the two universes are currently evenly matched, the scales of victory will eventually tip due to the betrayal of the Celestial Dragons.

To remedy the situation and increase their chances of winning, Xuanling and Youdi need to do more.

And, of course, they wouldn't let Mellen, who possessed the strength of an ultimate expert, go unused.

Chapter 765 Battle, Struggle

Two beams of light flashed, and the avatars of Xuanling and Youdi appeared outside the Heart of the New World. Through the layers of rules, they saw Melon, who had become skin and bones.

Xuanling and Youdi exchanged a glance. They still couldn't understand why Melen would go to such lengths. If it was about sacrificing for the Myriad Beasts Universe and then reaping the benefits, they could certainly do the same.

However, there are limits to how much they can give; it's impossible to jeopardize their foundation.

Judging from Mellen's current state, regardless of his true purpose, he has undoubtedly damaged his very foundation. Under such circumstances, what is the point of gaining more?

With their limited knowledge, Xuanling and Youdi naturally couldn't understand what Melen was doing. In fact, the concept of substituting one's own mind for the will of Heaven and seizing control of the universe simply didn't exist in their minds.

It's important to understand how vast and immense a large universe is. In terms of sheer size, even the most powerful beings are but a drop in the ocean compared to it; there's simply no comparison.

The resulting disparity in will stemming from this size difference means that once the two sides come into contact, the stronger one will inevitably be assimilated by the will of the universe, without any possibility of exception.

But Mellen is different!

Anchoring one's mind and maintaining one's identity have always been the strengths of the [Wolf Tamer] class, and the [Wolf Tamer] who has undergone sublimation has become even more powerful in this regard.

More importantly, as a transcendent system perfected by successive Dao Venerables, the Immortal Path naturally surpasses other transcendent systems.

If we make a horizontal comparison, a True Immortal is actually equivalent to spanning the levels of Myth and Ruler. The peak of True Immortal should correspond to the peak of Ruler.

However, due to the inherent superiority of the Immortal Path, once one reaches the peak of True Immortal, with perfected innate immortal techniques and possessing suitable innate spiritual treasures, one can contend with the strongest.

The Dao Lord, who encompasses all things, completely surpasses the supreme powerhouse; there is no comparison between the two!

The Daoist Master is a true transcendent being, capable of causing the creation and destruction of the universe with a single thought.

To use a vivid analogy, in the outer universe, all universes are on the same level, differing only in size, not in height. But those who transcend stand on a higher level, overlooking the endless universe, experiencing true eternity, great freedom, and great ease!

Sensing the arrival of Xuanling and Youdi, Mellen slightly opened his eyes and quietly watched them.

Xuanling frowned, then said, "The fusion of the two universes is currently at a standstill, but we all understand that this situation will not last long, so we need to take action."

Mellen responded calmly, "Of course, that's exactly what I'm doing right now."

Xuanling paused for a moment and then said, "We have already prepared some plans and arrangements, and now we need your Fire Seed Alliance to join us."

Mellen let out a 'hoho' laugh and said, "You want the Fireseed Alliance to help? I thought you had already abandoned those races."

Xuanling and Youdi remained indifferent. In fact, they had abandoned the other races in the Myriad Beasts Universe, leaving them to fend for themselves.

After all, once these races are extinct, they will enter the cycle of heaven and earth in the universe of beasts, which can be considered as a certain degree of replenishment for the universe of beasts.

But now the plan has changed. The Fire Seed Alliance has gathered a large number of races. Since they did not die, they will naturally contribute to the Beast Universe in another way.

For Xuanling and Youdi, only their own kind could truly capture their attention, while other races were simply categorized as either 'useful' or 'not useful' in their eyes.

Mellen made a slight sarcastic remark but did not refuse. After all, although the two sides had different fundamental goals, the desired outcome of their actions was the same so far.

Mellen said, “Okay, I will have the Fireseed Alliance cooperate with your actions, but the Fireseed Alliance must have the right to independently carry out the assigned tasks. You can demand results, but you must not interfere with the process.”

If the command of the Fire Seed Alliance is truly handed over to Xuanling and Youdi, then the Fire Seed Alliance will truly become cannon fodder.

Xuanling casually replied, "Okay."

Emperor You looked at Melon and said with a hint of sarcasm, "How much strength do you have left now? When the strongest beings from the Starry Universe make their move, you're not going to refuse to contribute anything, are you?"

Mellen said calmly, "Don't worry, even though I look like this now, I can still handle one or two supreme experts with ease."

Emperor You snorted: "I hope your remaining strength is as tough as your mouth!"

This time, Xuanling and Youdi didn't manage to uncover much more from their encounter, but they did achieve their basic objective.

At Mellen's behest, the Fire Seed Alliance began contacting the Phoenix Clan and the Dark Tiger Clan, and joined the effort to save the Beast Universe.

The fusion of the Myriad Beasts Universe and the Starry Universe is an overwhelming trend. Under such a trend, even the strongest beings cannot confront it head-on, let alone other beings.

Therefore, to increase the chances of the Beast Universe winning under these circumstances, we can only guide and strengthen it little by little from the side, accumulating advantages bit by bit, in order to achieve some change.

The most common method is to go to the boundary between the two universes, sort out the spacetime nodes, and fill in the gaps in the rules.

Given the harsh environment of the border region, even overlord-level (demigod-level) beings need special equipment to survive for a short time. God-level powerhouses cannot stay for long either. Only those who reach the ancestral god level can be considered the absolute main force.

And so, countless powerful figures from the Xuanfeng Clan, the Youhu Clan, and the Fire Seed Alliance went to the border region to fight and battle with the powerful figures from the Starry Universe, sorting out one spacetime node after another and filling in one rule after another.

Although each completed task has an impact of less than one in a billion on both universes, as long as they accumulate, they can eventually play a role.

From a macroscopic perspective, as the two universes merge, the area of ​​contact becomes larger and larger. These contact areas have all turned into disordered chaos, and the edges of the contact areas have generated spacetime nodes, which have become illusions due to the entanglement of the rules of the two universes.

Spacetime nodes are like 'energy packs'. Occupying a spacetime node allows your own universe to devour and absorb it, increasing the power of your own universe.

Rule-based illusions are the outward manifestations of rules. If they can be completed using the rules of one's own universe, one will naturally gain an advantage in subsequent integration.

In the initial stages, the Fire Seed Alliance naturally received the most difficult and dangerous missions.

Despite protests from the Fireseed Alliance, their efforts had little effect, and they ultimately had no choice but to grit their teeth and accept the situation.

As time went on and the intensity of the battle increased, even the Xuanfeng and Youhu clans could no longer remain indifferent.

In order to increase the enthusiasm of the Fire Seed Alliance and at the same time reduce their own losses, the two races opened their treasure vaults to a limited extent, allowing those who had made enough contributions in the battle to exchange for high-value treasures.

This indeed increased the participation of the Fire Seed Alliance. With the help of a large number of precious treasures, one after another, god-level powerhouses and even ancestral god-level powerhouses were born.

Of course, on a cosmic-level battlefield, even gods and ancestral gods often have no choice but to go with the flow and are powerless to control their own destiny.

While the external battles were ongoing, things didn't completely calm down within the Beast Universe either.

As abandoned entities, all races within the Fire Seed Alliance should logically be hostile to the Xuanfeng and Youhu races. Furthermore, the Fire Seed Alliance's leadership has spared no effort in promoting this message in order to smear the Xuanfeng and Youhu races.

However, perhaps because the power of the Beast Council back then was too great, even now, many clans are still willing to gravitate towards the Xuanfeng Clan and the Youhu Clan.

The most enthusiastic among them were the Eagle Clan, who had been unsealed.

When the Eagle Clan faced the Xuanfeng Clan, it was like a son seeing his father. The Xuanfeng Clan didn't need to say much; they would take the initiative and actively persuade other lower-level divine beast clans by relying on their past relationships. At the same time, they secretly spread various rumors within the Fire Seed Alliance to sow discord and induce others.

The other lower-ranking divine beast clans understood that the higher-ranking divine beast clans only used them as cannon fodder, so they simply watched the eagle clan's actions with indifference, focusing on securing the visible benefits first.

However, some people failed to see the situation clearly. Many clans within the Fire Seed Alliance, either out of past awe or influenced by the Eagle Clan, began to split and wanted to side with the Xuanfeng Clan and the Youhu Clan.

The two superior divine beast clans did not refuse, but maintained a tacit attitude.

Firstly, this would not cause them any loss, and they would also gain more obedient cannon fodder, so why not?

Secondly, Xuanling and Youdi also wanted to test Mellen's attitude in this way, as they always had doubts about Mellen's purpose.

In this mutual game of strategy, hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye.
