Open up and break into another world

The Lord of Depths faced the void.

“Will of the Universe!” The Lord of Depths said indifferently, “Your goal is to become a transcendent universe; and my goal is to become a Boundary Breaker… There is no conflict between our goals.”

The space-time around the Lord of Depths was completely still, without the slightest ripple. Clearly, the Will of the Universe did not respond to his words.

The Lord of Depths was not anxious either, and continued, “If I become a Boundary Breaker, it won’t be much of a loss to you! Moreover, it can in turn help you become a transcendent universe—Xu Ming has at least a hundred thousand top-grade Power Source Stones! You are restricted by the Supreme Rules and cannot attack Xu Ming, but I can attack Xu Ming and help you seize these Power Source Stones!”

“A hundred thousand top-grade Power Source Stones will also be of great help to you in becoming a transcendent universe, right?” The Lord of Depths tempted, “Will of the Universe, I don’t understand, what are you hesitating about!”

“Let you become a Boundary Breaker, and then help me seize the Power Source Stones from Xu Ming?” The Will of the Universe finally spoke.

The Lord of Depths’ eyes lit up: There’s hope!

“I can make a contract with you under the witness of the Supreme Rules!” The Lord of Depths said quickly.

He was too eager to become a Boundary Breaker!

Moreover, if he could become a Boundary Breaker, then doing something for the Will of the Universe wouldn’t be a big deal. In order to make the Will of the Universe believe in his sincerity, the Lord of Depths was even willing to make a contract under the witness of the Supreme Rules.

“The cultivation technique I practice must be able to break through and become a Boundary Breaker in the Mirage Universe!” The Lord of Depths said. His technique was rather special; he couldn’t exert much strength in the True Universe. It was also because of this that the Great Sovereigns of the True Universe didn’t take the Lord of Depths seriously; but in the Mirage Universe, there was the suppression of the universe’s operating rules, which made the Lord of Depths feel very aggrieved. “With my realm, as long as you release your suppression on me, I will soon be able to break through and become a Boundary Breaker!”

After arriving in the Mirage Universe, the Lord of Depths had been waiting for an opportunity—waiting for the Will of the Universe to release its suppression on him.

Whenever he saw an opportunity, the Lord of Depths would spare no effort to persuade the Will of the Universe to “cooperate and win-win”.

Buzz…

Space-time vibrated slightly.

The voice of the Will of the Universe sounded again: “Actually, I should be able to obtain the Power Source Stones from Xu Ming without you!”

Whoosh—

After the Will of the Universe finished speaking, it directly retreated, no longer giving the Lord of Depths a chance to speak.

“I…” The Lord of Depths was depressed, but there was nothing he could do—unless he became a Boundary Breaker, he would not be able to contend against the Will of the Universe. No matter what attitude the Will of the Universe had towards him, he could only endure it.

Endure, and there may be a day when he can become a Boundary Breaker; not endure, and he may never be able to become a Boundary Breaker.

…

True Universe.

Hall of Eternity.

“This is Great Sovereign Molly, right?” Under Gu Hanmo’s introduction, Xu Ming met Great Sovereign Molly and thanked her repeatedly, “Back then, when I first arrived in the True Universe, I was hunted down by various forces; if it weren’t for your guidance, I’m afraid I would have been in big trouble!”

Great Sovereign Molly was also quite emotional. She also didn’t expect that Xu Ming, who was quite weak in her eyes back then, would grow to a height that made her look up to him so quickly; if there were no accidents, Xu Ming becoming a Boundary Breaker was a certainty.

Gu Hanmo said, “Great Sovereign Molly is my good friend, and also the only Great Sovereign in the True Universe that I could trust before! Otherwise, I wouldn’t have dared to entrust Xu Yin to her!”

Xu Yin was a Heaven Supreme, and under the restriction of the universe’s operating rules, she naturally couldn’t descend into the Mirage Universe in her true form; however, there was a way to project an avatar into the Mirage Universe, which could be considered a reunion of mother and daughter.

“Or… I should just let Yin Ran come to the True Universe sometime!” With Xu Ming’s current strength, it was naturally not difficult to let Yin Ran go to the True Universe.

Buzz…

Suddenly, a strange wave appeared in the space-time around Xu Ming.

“Hmm?” Xu Ming was slightly puzzled.

It should be known that there were layers of formations guarding the Hall of Eternity; generally, very little power could directly penetrate into the Hall of Eternity.

However, Xu Ming soon knew what this wave was; “Will of the Universe!”

“Xu Ming, I have some words to talk to you!” As the Will of the Universe spoke, the flow of time around Xu Ming was directly and completely frozen—in this way, no matter how long Xu Ming and the Will of the Universe talked, when they finished talking, not even a second would have passed in the outside world; moreover, even Gu Hanmo and Great Sovereign Molly beside Xu Ming would not know that the Will of the Universe had descended.

“Oh?” Xu Ming was slightly solemn.

After all, the “other party” was the Will of his home universe, and Xu Ming had to pay some attention.

“I used to think that the Will of the Universe was just a vague, ethereal, and muddle-headed existence; now it seems that the Will of the Universe, like us, has thoughts and consciousness!” Xu Ming thought to himself.

What Xu Ming didn’t know was that the Will of the Universe generally wouldn’t reveal its thoughts and consciousness; for example, when the Will of the Universe issued orders to Great Sovereign Zihe, it was just a cold instruction, and not like talking to Xu Ming like this now.

Only when the Will of the Universe believes that someone has enough qualifications will it talk to them—such as Xu Ming, such as the Lord of Depths.

“Xu Ming!” The Will of the Universe continued, “I know that the reason you have achieved today is because many opportunities came from the Saint Emperor-level universe; but, after all, it was your home universe that nurtured you, and you also obtained various opportunities in your home universe on your path to growth—you don’t deny this, right?”

“Naturally, I don’t deny it!” Xu Ming said.

There was nothing to deny. If he hadn’t risen from humble beginnings in his home universe, then Xu Ming wouldn’t have been able to obtain so many opportunities in the Saint Emperor-level universe.

Moreover…

Xu Ming also heard that this Will of the Universe seemed to be coming to ask for benefits!

“Could it be that I’ve shown off my wealth and been targeted by the Will of the Universe?” Xu Ming was speechless.

Xu Ming originally thought that no one in his home universe could covet his treasures; he didn’t expect that the Will of the Universe would jump out! —If the Will of the Universe wasn’t here to ask for benefits, Xu Ming wouldn’t believe it even if he was beaten to death.

“However… after all, it was my home universe that nurtured me and made me who I am! It doesn’t seem unacceptable to give the Will of the Universe some benefits!” Xu Ming thought again, “Hmm! Let’s just consider it supporting the construction of my hometown!”

Sure enough, the Will of the Universe then went straight to the point: “Xu Ming, you have quite a few top-grade Power Source Stones, right! With your strength, it’s not too difficult to break through and become a Boundary Breaker; after you become a Boundary Breaker, Power Source Stones will be of no use to you! Why not… give me some of the Power Source Stones you have!”
