Chapter 895: The Gateway of the Natural Order!

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation  Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Merlin was steering the Aurora warship as he followed closely behind the three Golden Ray Warriors in search of the natural order’s origin. Although he could sense the origin of the natural order, he could not sense its specific location. He could only sense that it was almost omnipresent and its power was everywhere.

The truth was, the origin of the natural order possessed a core that contained infinite energy. It was also the core of the entire Void Zone. Its location was also not fixed, as it floated all around the Void Zone, just like how the Glorious Land used to be when it was sealed by the three Arcane Wizards.

Marta and the others could detect the general vicinity of the origin of the natural order but needed some time to search for it. However, to these people, tens or even hundreds of years were considered a very short time.

Therefore, Merlin immersed his consciousness inside the Illusory World after setting the Aurora warship to follow after Marta and the group automatically.

The Illusory World was his foundation. Although he still had no idea how to turn the illusion into a reality, he must at least make the Illusory World more powerful.

Ever since the Illusory World was perfected, it expanded even faster than before. Moreover, the expansion was very stable, so Merlin did not have to worry about the problems the expansion might cause if the rate of expansion was too fast.

At that point, the Illusory World was very huge but still less than one percent of the Void Zone, so it still needed to expand continuously. Previously, Merlin allowed the Illusory World to expand at its own pace but now that they were embroiled in a long search for the origin of the natural order, he had nothing much to do. Therefore, he made use of his Mind Power to help the Illusory World expand further.

Merlin’s consciousness immediately merged with the Illusory World. The feeling of controlling a world was truly wonderful. At this moment, Merlin felt like he had surpassed the ultimate existences. The entire Illusory World, along with hundreds of billions of creatures, countless stars and planets, and all kinds of strange and peculiar sights appeared in Merlin’s mind.

Merlin was well-aware that all of these were still illusory, meaning that if he died, all of them would collapse. He still had no way of making all these real.

Even though they were illusory, Merlin still relished the feeling of being in control. His consciousness enveloped the entire Void Zone and with a tick of his heart, his immense Mind Power tirelessly helped the Illusory World’s expansion.

An Illusory World, especially at this stage, was like an infant. Merlin could personally witness its growth and maturity until it eventually reaches full maturity.

Meanwhile, the Illusory Tribe civilization inside the Illusory World had also recovered from the devastating invasion of the power of the natural order the last time. By design, they were the hegemon of the Illusory World, the most advanced and powerful civilization of all. Therefore, they immediately restarted their development.

However, the Illusory World was no longer the same as before. There were a myriad of dangerous situations that were challenging even for the Illusory Tribe civilization.

For example, black holes. Some of the celestial bodies’ black holes were so terrifying that even the Illusory Tribe’s most advanced methods could not escape the devouring of the gigantic black holes.

Prior to this, such occurrences were unimaginable. Before the devastating catastrophe, the Illusory Tribe civilization were practically the masters of the entire Illusory World. They were able to conquer any civilization and any planet and were even able to transform any celestial bodies.

Now, on the other hand, they realized that they had to move cautiously before the daunting celestial bodies. If they did not pay close attention, a tragedy could befall them.

Furthermore, after the great destruction, other civilizations began to develop as well. There was no longer a huge gap between them and the Illusory Tribe civilization. Instead, each of the various civilizations had their distinctive characteristics.

In short, the entire Illusory World had changed dramatically and was no longer as monotonous as before. Perhaps it looked chaotic, but this balanced path was essential for a healthy world.

Merlin could clearly sense that ever since he made some adjustments to the Illusory World, it became stronger than before. In fact, even the Illusory World’s power of the natural order was strengthened. Remarkably, the healthy development of a world would correspondingly strengthen its power of the natural order.

“Is it also the same for the Void Zone?”

Merlin immediately associated it with the Void Zone. This was a huge Latitude Cosmos. It did not hesitate to maintain the balance of this world at all costs, so maybe it was to ensure that the Void Zone could develop healthily.

A healthy and developing world could continue to enhance its power of the natural order. As a result, the stronger the power of the natural order, the more powerful its ultimate existences would be; like the Thirty-six Emperors.

As for the Thirty-six Emperors and the rest of the ultimate existences, their fates were interconnected with the Void Zone. They would rise and fall together!

Following Merlin’s assisted expansion of the Illusory World, the entire Illusory World expanded rapidly. Now that Merlin understood the importance of ensuring a balanced world, he also created some unique and powerful civilizations that could challenge the Illusory Tribe civilization during the expansion process.

Moreover, Merlin no longer paid special attention to the Illusory Tribe civilization and even stripped away their role as the ‘main characters’ of the Illusory World. Thus, the Illusory Tribe civilization would no longer be as lucky as before. Whatever progress the Illusory Tribe civilization made would be entirely dependent on their own effort.

As the master of the Illusory World, Merlin had this ability!

Most probably, when the Vestigial Tribe first arose, they were given the role of ‘main characters’ by the Void Zone. Thus, all kinds of lucky encounters befell them and empowered them to conquer the entire Void Zone.

However, they did not know that the Void Zone was simply trying to achieve balance, with the Vestigial Tribe as the ‘destructive’ force. Then afterward, the Void Zone stripped away the Vestigial Tribe’s role as ‘main characters.’ Consequently, the Vestigial Tribe lost their immunity and under the leadership of the Thirty-six Emperors, were jointly attacked by countless foreign tribe civilizations. Finally, the Vestigial Tribe was exterminated.

All of these were deliberately set in motion by the Void Zone in order to achieve balance!

Through the development of the Illusory World, Merlin suddenly understood many of the Void Zone’s secrets. The truth was, no one else could provide him any guidance or useful experiences at his level. Even if Aruba were to mentor him personally, it would not be useful to Merlin. This was because the path he chose had never been traveled. Therefore, he had to explore every step by himself.

If he took a wrong turn, the result might be irreparable!

Fortunately, Merlin was very cautious. The path he took was to control a world. Although this world was illusory, his objective was to turn it from an illusion into a reality. Hence, using a real Latitude Cosmos like the Void Zone as a comparison, Merlin continued to make adjustments to his Illusory World.

The effects had been promising and even helped him carve out the most critical step needed to perfect the Illusory World. Right now, he was constantly consolidating the Illusory World to improve and strengthen it even further.

For the next step, Merlin wanted to examine the origin of the natural order for himself. The core power of the Void Zone. If he could gain some understanding from that process, it would certainly be beneficial to his Illusory World.

Perhaps, it could even help Merlin discover another most critical step!

“Hum.”

Suddenly, the Aurora warship jolted slightly. Merlin immediately woke up from the Illusory World. He looked up. In front of him, Marta, Larkin and Myron had all stopped.

“Have we arrived?”

Merlin extended his Mind Power outwards. He saw that Marta and the others were gazing towards a half-hidden lighted door. This lighted door measured tens of thousands of meters. Even a warship would be able to pass through it easily.

However, this was only a lighted door that loomed vaguely. Merlin’s Mind Power could not investigate beyond it.

“This is the entrance to the origin of the natural order, called the gateway of the natural order! According to legends, once you step past this gateway, you will be able to access the entire Void Zone’s secrets.”

There was a tinge of heaviness in Marta’s voice. The legends about the gateway of the natural order had been popular even back in the ancient times when the Vestigial Tribe were most glorious.

“Back then, all the top-level contenders of the Vestigial Tribe acted together. Other than the three of us who were otherwise engaged, the rest of them went to search for the gateway of the natural order. However, before this door, they suffered a vicious massacre. The Void Zone gathered all of the Thirty-six Emperors and we lost that battle!” Larkin said, gnashing his teeth.

Nevertheless, this indirectly proved the significance placed by the Void Zone on the origin of the natural order. Just at the gateway of the natural order, it had already summoned the most powerful force to stop the Vestigial Tribe’s exploration.

Behind this gateway of the natural order was the biggest secret of the Void Zone. Merlin was immediately excited and flew out of the Aurora warship to stand beside Marta and the others.

“Is there any danger behind the gateway of the natural order? Why aren’t we going it?”

Merlin could not wait to enter and uncover the secret of the Void Zone. Perhaps, it would help him turn his Illusory World into reality.

“Of course there’s no danger behind the gateway of the natural order, but the danger lies in the Thirty-six Emperors! Do you think the Void Zone will allow us to pass through the gateway of the natural order so easily?”

Marta’s reply was filled with mockery and his tone was incredibly hostile. His gaze was trained at a random territory outside the gateway of the natural order, seemingly discovering something.

Merlin also strained his eyes. Under the careful investigation of his pervasive Mind Power, he sensed that the power of the natural order in this place was unusually concentrated. However, seeing as the gateway was the entrance to the origin of the natural order, what was so strange about a higher concentration of the power of the natural order?

“Hehe, Merlin, you’re not a Golden Ray Warrior and had never fought the Thirty-six Emperors. Naturally, you don’t know their tactics. They are basically the embodiment of the origin of the natural order. As long as the origin of the natural order has sufficient capacity, it can produce countless existences like the Thirty-six Emperors. The Thirty-six Emperors consist of mere ordinary Emperor-level existences but because the origin of the natural order needed their help, it bestowed them with special abilities. Thus, the Thirty-six Emperors were born. Do you understand now?”

Merlin’s was shocked. He kept hearing of the distinguished ancient Thirty-six Emperors, but he never knew the difference between the Thirty-six Emperors and ordinary Emperor-level existences.

It was only now that he achieved an epiphany. The Thirty-six Emperors were simply supported by the Void Zone, which enabled them to mobilize a greater portion of the origin of the natural order. As a result, they transcended beyond the ordinary Emperor-level existences.

Therefore, the Thirty-six Emperors could be perceived as the embodiment of the origin of the natural order. They were completely integrated with the power of the natural order. While Merlin could detect the power of the natural order, he could not distinguish the Thirty-six Emperors who were hidden inside it.

Only these Golden Ray Warriors, who were undoubtedly familiar with the Thirty-six Emperors, could see through their concealment.

“Marta, Larkin, Myron, the massive war has ended and the Vestigial Tribe has been exterminated. Since you’ve broken free, why stir up another fuss?”

Sure enough, as soon as Marta finished speaking, nine unfamiliar silhouettes appeared from the gateway of the natural order.
