Chapter 1028: Controllers and Free Beings
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
The Illusory World was expanding without limits. Merlin seemed to sense that the Illusory World had a unique connection to him. Initially, Merlin was controlling the Illusory World but now, there was a will that was resuscitated.
1Although this will was so familiar to Merlin, there was still a difference because this was a brand new will.
“The Illusory World’s will...”
After Merlin spoke, the entire Illusory World shuddered violently, following which the world’s barrier that had lain between reality and illusion was finally materialized all at once. It could be touched. This was a true world’s barrier.
Simultaneously, everything in the Illusory World had transformed into reality. Merlin seemed to be right in the middle of a genuine Latitude Cosmos. Still, although Merlin had not stayed in this Latitude Cosmos, he was able to control every part of it as if he was familiar with every corner.
This was because this world belonged solely to Merlin!
Materializing as reality – today, Merlin had finally done it!
“Haha, it’s truly materialized as reality. My predictions were right. The Mind Power system has reached a high point of accomplishment at last. Haha, I can finally come back to life!”
Titus’ voice resounded throughout the entire Illusory World. In the past, Merlin knew that Titus had only left behind a strand of Mind Power in the Illusory World, all for this moment.
Now, this moment had finally arrived.
Merlin’s heart leaped. As the ruler of the Illusory World, he had control over it. The current him was no different from Aruba back then. He could mobilize the immense power of a Latitude Cosmos.
“Titus, it’s now time for me to honor what I’ve promised you in the past. Resurrect!”
Merlin’s heart moved with this thought. Presently, he was dubbed as someone who controlled a Latitude Cosmos. Naturally, he knew very well that reviving Titus who had always existed in his world was a walk in the park.
“Buzz.”
In the Illusory World, a figure swiftly emerged. Moreover, his body started to form. Initially, Titus was merely a strand of Mind Power but Merlin had grasped the essence of materialization. Therefore, he helped materialize this strand of Mind Power, Titus, as reality. Reinstating Titus did not take up much effort at all.
“Swoosh.”
Soon, a body was already condensed in the Illusory World. It was based on Titus’ appearance when he was just a strand of Mind Power. It looked the same and was extremely realistic.
“I... I’m truly revived?”
Titus stretched out a hand, his eyes burning with incredulity. It had been so many years. If he had not met Merlin by chance in the Slothful Beast, he would never have experienced this day.
Merlin nodded, feeling pleased. The resurrected Titus was very frail and he must start from the beginning if he wanted to condense a new Illusory World. Nonetheless, in the Illusory World, with Merlin to bless him with advantageous conditions, soon, Titus would surely be able to condense a new Illusory World.
After all, it was Titus who had founded the Mind Power system. Merlin had merely refined it.
“Merlin, most Latitude Cosmos can no longer do anything against the current you. What are your plans?”
Titus gradually subdued his excitement momentarily and asked softly.
“Plans?”
Merlin stared at the silent, empty space. By now, he had become a noble existence like Aruba. No Latitude Cosmos could confine him. Perhaps he should, like Aruba, visit all Latitude Cosmos one by one, experiencing the differences of each Latitude Cosmos.
“Haha, at last, has someone struggled free of the Latitude Cosmos?”
Suddenly, in this dark, quiet vacuum, a carefree laugh reverberated beside Merlin’s ear, getting closer. At the same time, a figure abruptly appeared beside Merlin.
Merlin stood in empty space, feeling no trace of fear because he had detected the other person’s familiar aura.
“Aruba, we meet again.”
Merlin said with a hint of a smile. He had encountered Aruba again. This was a Latitude traveler who had single-handedly founded the Spell Caster civilization. Perhaps, creating the Spell Caster civilization back then was just an off-handed act on Aruba’s part and he had forgotten about it. Nonetheless, Merlin had begun his journey as a Spell Caster. From that point onward, Merlin already had a mysterious, inexorable link to Aruba.
“Huh? Do you know me?”
Aruba carefully peered at Merlin. He no longer recognized Merlin. After all, the Void Zone he had visited was merely an unremarkable world in his long life. Why would he take note of Merlin?
“Aruba, you no longer know me. Do you know the Void Zone?”
“The Void Zone?”
Aruba revisited his recollections. Soon, his memories about the Void Zone emerged in his mind. He slowly opened his mouth as if he dared not believe this.
“You... You’re that small fellow? Merlin?”
Aruba finally remembered. Back in the Void Zone, he had casually planted a seed which resulted into something. Someone had struggled free of the Latitude Cosmos.
“That’s right, I’m Merlin!”
“Haha, well done, very well done. I’ve traveled through countless worlds and the seeds I’ve sown casually has reached tens of thousands. Until now, no one was able to break free of their Latitude Cosmos. I never expected that you, whom I didn’t think very highly of, are able to reach the point where countless creatures and millions of geniuses could not reach. You’ve gotten free of your Latitude Cosmos, becoming a Free Being. Haha, you’ve broken loose from the Void Zone, right? I remember that the Void Zone is far away from this place. How come you’re here?”
Aruba glanced behind Merlin and his eyes suddenly popped wide open.
“This... There was no Latitude Cosmos here before. Why is there one suddenly? Moreover, the force of this Latitude Cosmos is almost identical to yours?”
Aruba seemed to have guessed something, his eyes bulging with astonishment.
Merlin gradually replied, “This world is called the Illusory World, a world I created and materialized as reality. Now, it has become a real world, controlled by me!”
After saying this, Merlin smiled slightly. The Illusory World could be endlessly large or endlessly tiny. Although it had been materialized, it was still transformed from Merlin’s Mind Power. Thus, with Merlin’s single thought, the incomparably colossal Illusory World would swiftly shrink, immediately withdrawn by Merlin into his body.
The Illusory World still existed but had entered Merlin’s body through some method. This was equivalent to Merlin carrying around a world at all times, able to utilize the power of the entire Illusory World at any time. His strength seemed matchless.
“A Controller, you’ve become a Controller!”
Aruba appeared to be very taken aback and his gaze toward Merlin even revealed a trace of bewilderment and respect!
It was true. Merlin had noticed a sense of “respect” in Aruba’s gaze. This Latitude traveler had possessed inconceivable power, visited an unknown number of Latitude Cosmos, and witnessed an unknown number of prodigies. He stood at the peak, the apex, and was practically unrivaled. However, he had given a respectful look toward Merlin, who had just materialized the Illusory World as reality. Naturally, Merlin was very curious.
“Controller, what’s a Controller? Aruba, didn’t you once say that in so many Latitude Cosmos, only you had broken your Latitude Cosmos and become a Latitude traveler? Are you also a Controller?”
Merlin asked, frowning. He had always felt that Aruba still had plenty of significant secrets he did not know.
“Me, a Controller? I’m just an ordinary Free Being. A Controller – only a myriad of Latitude Regions could produce one Controller. I never thought that I would indirectly ‘create’ a mighty Controller!”
Aruba let out a deep sigh to the sky, his eyes filled with an emotional glint.
“Controller? Free Being? Latitude Regions? Aruba, could it be that you haven’t reached the highest peak and that in the countless Latitude Cosmos, it’s not just us who had left our Latitude Cosmos?”
Merlin asked hurriedly.
“Haha, Merlin, don’t worry. Today, you’ve become a Controller. Naturally, I’ll let you know about something. You’re a noble Controller. Of course, you know how difficult it is to become a Controller. Controlling a Latitude Cosmos, no matter in what manner, is an impressive feat. As long as you have perfect control over a Latitude Cosmos, you’re known as a Controller.
“As for someone like me, who directly broke the Latitude Cosmos and left it – I’m called a Free Being. We’ve merely broken free of our Latitude Cosmos. Perhaps our strength is unrivaled and overpowering, and perhaps we might be even stronger than Controller in the beginning. However, in the later phases, as time passes, Controllers can rely on controlling world to constantly expand it and thus, swiftly increasing your strength. In the end, Controllers will typically rise above Free Beings. After all, it’s immensely difficult for Free Beings to increase their strength.
“As for Latitude Regions, it’s very simple. These Latitude Cosmos you see are generally clustered together. This is a region. It has more than ten thousand Latitude Cosmos. A large-scale region would have even more Latitude Cosmos. This region is, in fact, a Latitude Region.”
After a pause, Aruba’s eyes softened into an admiring look and he sighed deeply. “Usually, one Latitude Region can only give birth to one Free Being. As for Controllers, it generally takes more than ten thousand Latitude Regions to produce one. Back then, I was born in this Latitude Region and I was the only Free Being. I never expected that a Controller would be born here. It’s an impressive, momentous development, haha.”
As for Merlin, the depths of his heart were stirred up by a storm. He had thought that by materializing the Illusory World as reality and becoming a Latitude traveler, he would stand at the peak.
However, after listening to what Aruba had said, he learned that before him, there was an even wider universe. The vast, boundless Latitude Regions, the incomparably formidable Free Beings, and Controllers – all of these were so novel to Merlin.
