Chapter 422: Choice

"Meng Lao, then what should I do?" Xiao Yu asked.

Now he feels that he doesn't understand the Primordial Soul at all.

"This World Seed, even at the foundational stage, needs systematic cultivation; if cultivated recklessly, its future achievements will not be great," Meng Lao explained.

"Then how should it be cultivated systematically?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"Why do you have so many questions?" Meng Lao, irritated by the repeated questioning, said.

Xiao Yu spread his hands; the meaning was obvious.

"Alright, take this book and look at it first; it contains some basic knowledge." Meng Lao waved his hand, and a huge purple book appeared in his hand, which he gently tossed to Xiao Yu.

Xiao Yu reached out and caught it, instantly feeling a weight in his hand; he then realized that this book, about one meter in length and width and half a meter thick, was made of an unknown material, and his soul power could not penetrate it.

"By the way, from now on your study and cultivation will take place within the Inheritance Space," Meng Lao seemed to recall, "Outside, these books cannot be displayed, and you cannot cultivate."

Xiao Yu understood Meng Lao's meaning; this true Primordial Soul Secret Method is not permitted, not even a glance is allowed—it is a taboo.

"Then if I cultivate, will I be affected?" Xiao Yu asked again.

"Not for now; the Supreme Law cannot detect that seed, even if the seed becomes a true world, as long as you do not exert your abilities, it cannot be detected," Meng Lao declared solemnly.

Then Meng Lao's mind shifted, and the entire space changed rapidly, splitting the Inheritance Space as if into two parts. One half was the Starry Sky World, the other resembled a planetary surface, though the environment on that surface was changing at high speed.

Weather and time shifted swiftly; moments ago the road was blocked by heavy snow, the next instant flames roared across the sky. A sparrow‑sized bird just flew by, then suddenly landed and turned into a giant fighting a group of Ye Ren.

Meng Lao pointed at the ever‑changing realm and said, "There is the world where you will study and cultivate from now on."

"Eh?" Xiao Yu was puzzled; such a constantly changing world, is it truly suitable for cultivation?

"You're the one who calls yourself the Creator Lord, right? Is merely comprehending the so‑called Ten Fundamental Laws enough to become a creator? Then there would be far too many would‑be creators in this world." Meng Lao mocked, then kicked Xiao Yu, sending him flying.

Xiao Yu landed awkwardly on the ever‑changing planet; before he could look around, two more huge purple books flew toward him.

Then a voice said, "These two are the True Inheritance of Yuan Hun; cultivate them well. If you encounter a problem you cannot solve yourself, and it persists for ten thousand years, come back to me. Consolidating these two books is extremely taxing; the old man must sleep for a while."

"Meng Lao, then how will I enter the Inheritance Space in the future?" Xiao Yu suddenly thought of something very important; previously he entered the Inheritance Space only by being guided in, and if Meng Lao fell into sleep, how could he get in?

"It can't be that I'll never be able to go out again, right!"

"Your Soul Consciousness has already been granted Permission; from now on, as long as you silently recite Inheritance Space in your mind, you can enter and exit," Meng Lao said.

"Just thinking it is enough? I don't know if it's real," Xiao Yu murmured.

Meng Lao gave no further answers, and Xiao Yu could no longer see the other half of the Starry Sky World.

"Perhaps Meng Lao truly exhausted himself and fell into deep sleep. Whether it's true or not, I'll just try and find out."

Then Xiao Yu silently recited in his mind, "Inheritance Space."

Suddenly, Xiao Yu felt his soul plunge into darkness, then the light returned, and he realized he was still enveloped by endless chaotic currents in the Cosmic Sea.

"Indeed, it's real!" Xiao Yu exclaimed joyfully, then silently recited, "Inheritance Space."

After that, Xiao Yu reappeared on the ever‑changing planet, with various sounds echoing from time to time.

After observing for a long while, Xiao Yu still discovered some patterns; these changes were not without rule, but the terrain seemed to have leapt forward millions of years in an instant, yet also felt as if it were in a slow‑time space.

Then Xiao Yu flew across the planet, searching for a relatively stable area.

After a long time, he indeed found a space: a cavern, spanning kilometers, naturally formed from an extremely sturdy metal under special natural conditions.

Xiao Yu had been observing it for a long time, and nothing changed.

Thus Xiao Yu designated this as his cultivation space.

He took out that encyclopedia‑like book and examined it carefully.

As he read, he learned many of the related basics of this Primordial Soul Secret Method inheritance.

"So it turns out that the World Seed can generate worlds that differ per individual, depending on the nourishment fed. Even though there are billions of possible worlds, they can be roughly categorized by their basic structures into: Energy World, Law World, Soul World, and Mysterious World," Xiao Yu thought.

"The Energy World, as the name suggests, is a world where energy accumulates; strength correlates with energy levels, giving a sense of one force breaking ten thousand methods, yet it is not exactly the same."

"The Law World is like the Primordial Universe, even the Origin Continent, a world built upon various laws as its foundation."

"The Soul World is entirely a realm of soul power, built on the Soul Law with soul power as nourishment; realms such as the Spirit Realm and Dream Realm are all Soul Worlds."

"The Mysterious World differs from the three above; although it follows some rules, those rules are relatively unpredictable, such as Curse, Cause and Effect, Exchange, and so on."

"These four types of worlds are classified as such, but it does not mean that the Law World cannot contain Soul Law or Energy Law; it merely depends on which serves as the foundation, like programming, looking at the underlying language."

"So how should I choose? Should I build an Energy World, a Law World, a Soul World, or perhaps a Mysterious World?" Xiao Yu pondered continuously.

With this question, he opened the Upper Volume of Yuan Hun, and endless information flooded his consciousness.

A single page's content took more than a day to transmit.

And this Upper Volume of Yuan Hun contains at least tens of thousands of pages.

"According to the Inheritance Information, these four world types differ in the early stages and have varying emphases; after reaching the pinnacle of cultivation, they converge to the same path," Xiao Yu recalled the Inheritance Information while contemplating.

"The Law, I understand a bit, and through cultivation I can perceive and continuously deepen my comprehension, since the Primordial Universe itself is a ready example. As for the other Soul Worlds or Energy Worlds, my knowledge is shallow, and the Mysterious World is even less so." (End of chapter)
