Chapter 395: Realm
Meng Yifan waved the Ghost Head Blade, and Zhang Butou and the other ghost soldiers and ghost generals all returned inside the Ghost Head Blade.
After a moment, the old locust tree with a human face rolled its roots over like a boat sailing on land, rushing to Meng Yifan's side. It looked at Meng Yifan's appearance with some confusion, then sensed Meng Yifan's aura, confirming that this was their king, their Father God.
"Wuwu..." The old locust tree embraced Meng Yifan, just like a child separated for many years who had finally found their kin.
"Haha! Stop crying, little locust tree. I said back then that I would return, and haven't I returned now?"
After several thousand years, meeting an old friend, the Secret Realm owner also felt a bit sentimental. He gently patted the old locust tree's back, like an old father comforting his small child.
It was no exaggeration to say the Secret Realm owner was the father of these Wood Element demon plants; this old locust tree was a new life created by the Secret Realm owner using a part of his own body, combined with his insights into the Wood Element Rule.
Sixth Grade World Master Realm: one can create a world of one's own according to the laws one has comprehended, though these worlds are generally not large and their rules are incomplete; such worlds can only be considered a World Prototype.
Seventh Grade World Realm: this realm mainly involves continuing to comprehend the laws of Heaven and Earth to supplement the world one has created, evolving the World Prototype into a real world with complete rules. Among these, the mutual generation of the Five Elements is a form of perfection, and Nine-System Cultivation is even more of a Great Perfection, capable of creating a Great World.
Eighth Grade is the Creation Realm: in this realm, one can already evolve new species based on one's own understanding of the rules. The original owner of this Secret Realm world was in the Creation Realm, and many of the living beings within the Secret Realm world were created by him; they could all be called his children.
Ninth Grade is the Universe Realm: this realm is about continuing to develop the world one has created, evolving it into a real universe.
Just like the outside world, there is the rising and setting of the sun and moon and a sky full of stars; on these stars, there is no need for a Ninth-Rank Expert to deliberately guide things, as different living beings can be created according to the environment.
In the vast universe, there is gravitational collapse, stellar explosions, and the birth of new stars; from destruction to rebirth, it becomes a cycle of reincarnation. Such experts are terrifying; one person is a universe.
The owner of this Secret Realm cultivated the Five Elements Great Dao, and among them, he was most proficient in the Wood Element Great Dao.
Furthermore, the Wood Element governs growth and contains endless vitality. When the Secret Realm owner fell, he used a heaven-defying secret technique to transform a portion of his Divine Soul Origin into a special Spirit Crystal, like a seed; as long as he encountered a suitable person, he could perform soul possession and be reborn.
The Secret Realm owner waited for a very, very long time, finally waiting for Meng Yifan, and could now begin a new life.
After another while, the man-eating flower also ran over. Like the old locust tree, she nestled by Meng Yifan's side, continuously pouring out her longing for Father God over these many years.
The Wood Element life forms created by the Secret Realm owner back then were now reduced to only the old locust tree and the man-eating flower; they were like a son and daughter to the Secret Realm owner, and it was inevitable that true feelings would be revealed when kin were reunited.
Both the old locust tree and the man-eating flower were crying their hearts out. For so many years, they had felt the Secret Realm world collapsing day by day and thought they would never see Father God again in this life; they never expected that Father God would truly be resurrected in the end. It was just too wonderful.
"Haha, these two demon plants are so old, yet they still cry like little children. Young man, let you see a joke," the mysterious expert said with a loving smile.
Meng Yifan was now one with the mysterious expert, and he could also feel the two demon plants' adoration for him; additionally, he could feel a kind of blood-connected kinship.
This feeling was very strange. Meng Yifan had lived for over thirty years and did not yet have children of his own; he never expected that now, inexplicably, he had gained two demon plant children, and both were old monsters over several thousand years old.
"Eh! A Fifth Grade wolf demon has come. It just so happens I haven't eaten meat in so many years; I'll use it to break my fast." After the Secret Realm owner finished speaking, his body flickered and he teleported three thousand meters away, appearing before Lang Batian.
A Sixth Grade expert can command the law with their words within their own world and enjoys many privileges, among which teleportation is one; as long as it is within his perception, he can teleport at will, going wherever he wants. This is the true method of a god.
The Secret Realm owner's mind stirred, and he mobilized the rule power of the Wood Element World; dense tree roots appeared on the ground, binding Lang Batian tightly like a cage.
"Master, why are you attacking Old Lang? Did Old Lang do something wrong?" Lang Batian was shocked, looking at the Meng Yifan before him, feeling very unfamiliar.
Although Lang Batian was only a Fifth Grade wolf demon, it had a high status among the Demon Race and had also perused the secret canons of the Demon Race. What Meng Yifan had just used was definitely World Power, and it was the World Power belonging to this Secret Realm world; this was too terrifying.
For such a situation to occur, there were only two possibilities: one was that the owner of this Secret Realm world had not died and had now possessed Meng Yifan's body to be reborn.
The other possibility was that Meng Yifan had inherited the Secret Realm owner's legacy, thereby inheriting this collapsing Secret Realm world.
From the fact that Meng Yifan had attacked and bound Lang Batian the moment he saw him, this was clearly the first situation, and if so, Lang Batian was in great danger.
"Senior, this is my servant; please don't eat it," Meng Yifan said.
"Very well, the two of us will be one from now on; your servant is my servant as well." The mysterious expert smiled, waved his right hand, and the roots binding Lang Batian retracted into the earth.
Lang Batian felt as if it had received a pardon and prostrated itself on the ground respectfully. It was still confused even now, unable to figure out which situation its master was currently in.
Regardless of the situation, Lang Batian's life was in Meng Yifan's hands, so it was better to be obedient and listen; only then could it live a longer life.
"Little fellow, for now, I have only awakened the Wood Element. I can observe all living beings within the entire Wood Element World through the vegetation of the Wood Element World. Now I will open my perception; you point out who your enemies are, and I will take you to kill them and take revenge. Once the enemies are eliminated, you must tell me your secret. How about that?" the mysterious expert said.
Meng Yifan pondered for a moment, fearing that there were not many enemies in the Wood Element World and that killing them would not be enough for him to advance to the Seventh Grade, so he said: "Senior, just killing the enemies in the Wood Element World is not enough. Entering this Secret Realm world is random; perhaps many of my enemies were assigned to the Earth, Fire, Water, and Gold Element worlds."
"If I don't kill all these enemies, this junior will not be reconciled, and even in death, my thoughts will not be clear, so I will not tell Senior about my heaven-defying opportunity."
The Secret Realm owner was a bit dissatisfied, feeling that Meng Yifan was too greedy, but then he thought that he had created this world back then, and it would not be difficult to take control of the other four element worlds, so he agreed to Meng Yifan's request.
The Secret Realm owner was so easy to talk to because he vaguely felt that the opportunity Meng Yifan possessed was very important to him; perhaps if he obtained that opportunity, he could not only recover to the Eighth Grade Peak but might even go a step further and become a Ninth-Rank Expert. In that case, there would be hope of avenging the great grudge from back then.
Ordinary people have a sixth sense, able to have a premonition of things that might happen in the future in the dark.
The Secret Realm owner was once an Eighth Grade Peak expert, and his sixth sense was even more accurate, which was why he was so polite to Meng Yifan.
