...Yes, very similar!

Lin Zhongtian looked at the golden list floating in front of him with a strange expression, as if he had been tricked by the Taoist priest in front of him to be on the list.

But the Hongmeng Golden List is not the List of Gods after all, and the Hongmeng Taoist in front of him is definitely not a great existence that Shen Gongbao can reach.

His invitation to Lin Zhongtian to be included in the list was sincere, and the golden list text he took out was also the foundation of the great way comparable to the Hongmeng Purple Qi.

If Lin Zhongtian remembered correctly, if he was listed on this list now, he would become a first-level Hongmeng controller on par with Hongmeng. If converted to the neighboring Honghuang world, he would be a flesh-and-blood saint comparable to Pangu.

With this kind of **, if it were someone else, they might have agreed directly.

But Lin Zhongtian didn't.

Because he remembered the time when he first met Hongmeng.

The power possessed by Hong Meng is obviously several orders of magnitude stronger than Lin Zhongtian at the moment, but even so, the speed at which his consciousness spreads in the gray fog sea is still not as fast as Lin Zhongtian's.

This shows that the void space gap is also quite special in front of this kind of existence.

Moreover, thinking back to the two great creators he had met before, Lin Zhongtian suddenly felt that beings like them who were born divine might have some innate responsibilities and limitations.

Be it God, Ilúvatar, or even Hongmeng whom I just met, they all said, "I am destined to create the world."

They are the first 'existence' born from 'nothingness' in their own world. Even if they control everything, they have to be deeply bound to the world and shoulder the responsibility of creating the world like Pangu.

Taking these into consideration, Lin Zhongtian finally decided to reject Hongmeng's invitation.

It is impossible for him to give up his identity as the Lord of the Void Gap for the sake of a Hongmeng Space.

"Really? That's a pity..."

The middle-aged Taoist transformed by Hong Meng showed a look of regret on his face.

But soon, He put all these behind Him and began to devote Himself wholeheartedly to the great cause of creating the world.

First, He regarded the Hongmeng Qi that filled the Hongmeng space as one, and then evolved two from this one, that is, Tao gave birth to Yin and Yang.

The interaction between the Yin and Yang energies forms a third harmonious force that balances the two, so it can be called "harmony".

When Yin, Yang and harmony interact with each other, the entire dark space is like a magnificent explosion, and thousands of unique forces are differentiated and derived in an instant.

Gold, wood, water, fire, earth, wind, thunder, light, dark...

Countless different basic elements transformed into a starry sky full of glittering lights, evolving rapidly in front of Lin Zhongtian.

This is what it means that Tao gives birth to one, one gives birth to two, two gives birth to three, and three gives birth to all things. All things carry the yin and embrace the yang, and the collision of qi makes them harmonious!

Lin Zhongtian looked at the scene before him in fascination, where the Tao transformed all things.

Hongmeng, who was creating the world in front, seemed to have felt a long-lost joy and pleasure, and began to speed up the creation.

In this way, after an unknown amount of time, the continuously evolving myriad energies finally intertwined into a chaotic sphere like an egg. This was the first universe created by Hong Meng.

He named this universe the Main Universe, and evolved the five elements of gold, wood, water, fire and earth from it as the foundation of the Main Universe.

Afterwards, He introduced the yin and yang energies, which surrounded the five elements and formed a closed-loop situation of mutual generation and mutual restraint, which greatly consolidated the basic form and power system of the main universe.

After determining the framework of the main universe, all that remains is to fill in some rather boring rules.

The so-called three thousand great ways and eight hundred side doors may be the self-evolution of the way of heaven in other worlds, but in the first world created by Hong Meng, it was He who filled it up from scratch.

As Hong Meng continued to inject various rules and forces into the main universe, the world framework of the main universe gradually became clear.

Lin Zhongtian saw it clearly from the side. Hong Meng used the gift package of Chinese knowledge that he passed on to him to create an immortal cultivation universe with his personal understanding and taste.

As for why I say that it carries Hongmeng's personal understanding and personal taste, just look at the general structure of this world and you will understand.

The human world, the world of immortals and demons, and the world of gods ascend in sequence, with clear levels, and the level of gods is even higher than that of immortals.

The knowledge that Lin Zhongtian passed on to him did not have such a clear division of realms. It was entirely Hong Meng’s own personal understanding...

From then on, a clearly hierarchical cultivation universe was successfully created.

If Lin Zhongtian remembered correctly, the world where the future novel "The Star Change" was set was the world that Lin Lei, the protagonist of "Panlong", created based on this world.

Looking at the empty main universe, Hong Meng said thoughtfully: "A universe seems a little unstable!"

Lin Zhongtian said casually: "If it's unstable, then just create a few more subsidiary universes!"

Hong Meng's eyes lit up: "Good idea!"

Hong Meng did what he said and immediately began to create new subsidiary universes next to the main universe.

At the same time, since the subsidiary universe has the support of the main universe, it does not need to be as delicate as the main universe in terms of stability. Therefore, Hongmeng only divided the power of Hongmeng into four basic energies: earth, fire, wind and water, and created many derivative energies such as thunder, light and darkness from them.

This time, with the experience of the main universe, Hongmeng's creation speed became faster and faster, and the techniques became more and more skillful.

After an unknown amount of time, four smaller subsidiary universes finally appeared next to the main universe.

At this moment, the middle-aged Taoist transformed by Hongmeng also exuded a powerful aura that was difficult to describe in words, as if his Hongmeng body had been further upgraded and evolved into an even more powerful existence.

Lin Zhongtian looked at Him with interest.

"Daoyou, what is this?"

"Xuan Huang Immortal Body."

Hong Meng slowly opened his eyes and explained with a smile: "After the creation of the world, a special power condensed in my body. This special power is the strongest upper limit that Hong Meng space can accommodate, so I named it Xuan Huang Qi."

"And the body transformed by the Xuanhuang Qi is the 'Xuanhuang Immortal Body' that surpasses the 'Hongmeng Body'!"

At this point, Hong Meng smiled, summoned the Hong Meng Golden List again and asked: "Daoyou, would you like to reconsider? I have already understood the complete means of creating the universe. As long as Daoyou is willing to be on the list, I can pass on these means to you in full."

"By then, as long as you create a universe, you will be able to obtain the same Xuanhuang Immortal Body as me!"

To be honest, Lin Zhongtian was indeed somewhat tempted by Hongmeng's invitation.

Because he could sense that the oppressive feeling brought to him by the Hongmeng Taoist in front of him was even greater than that brought to him by Ilúvatar and God.

This shows that Hong Meng's foundation is more solid than the previous two creators. The Xuanhuang Immortal Body at the same level as him may be a very powerful divine skill among creator-level beings.

but……

Lin Zhongtian pondered and said, "To be listed on the list, do I need to give up my identity as the Lord of the Void Gap?"

Hong Meng smiled and said, "Before I created the world, it was not necessary, but now, it is necessary."

Lin Zhongtian frowned and asked, "Why?"

Hong Meng said solemnly: "Because I have sworn that only those acquired beings that break through the constraints of the universe can be listed on the Hong Meng Gold List."

"As the master of the void, your consciousness has long since returned from acquired holiness to innate holiness, so you are not subject to any restrictions."

"But if you enter the list with your main consciousness, you will be rejected by the void space gap and will have to focus on the Hongmeng space instead."

"Only by splitting consciousness and allowing the spirit that does not belong to the Lord of the Void Gap to be on the list will we not be excluded. But in this way, the split consciousness of fellow Taoist will belong to the acquired life and will be bound by the oath."

“That’s why I said that to be on the list now, you need to give up your identity as the Lord of the Void Gap…”

So you could actually get it for free before?

Lin Zhongtian felt a dull pain in his heart, thinking that he had missed a great opportunity to possess the incarnation of the Creator.

Hong Meng saw the undisguised expression on Lin Zhongtian's face, and understood that the other party had actually rejected his invitation, so he waved his hand regretfully, and the golden inscription in front of him that represented the foundation of the Great Dao disappeared again.

But even so, Hongmeng still refused to give up.

He still persisted in finding a companion for himself.

So He said, "Fellow Daoist, if you really don't want to give up your identity as the Lord of the Void Gap, then there is a way. Just separate a part of your consciousness and take a walk in the universe I created."

"In the future, once you break free from the constraints of the universe and step into the Hongmeng space, you will be able to ascend to the Hongmeng Gold List as an avatar!"

Lin Zhongtian glanced at him and said, "You want me to create a small account? Isn't this cheating?"

Hong Meng laughed and said, "If you want to pursue fairness, you can just seal your memory~"

As he spoke, Hong Meng's face straightened and he explained, "Fellow Daoist, don't rush to refuse. I'm not just trying to trick you into being on the list. Reincarnation is also a good thing for you. According to my observation, you are just like me before the creation of the world. You only know the Chaos Avenue. Although you have mastered thousands of different powers, it is still like a castle in the air. There are considerable risks."

"I also sorted out all the power systems from scratch during the creation process, and only then did I create the Xuanhuang Immortal Body."

"If you don't mind, you can travel in my universe and use my insights to improve your own strength..."

After hearing Hong Meng's words, Lin Zhongtian was really moved this time.

Just as Hongmeng said, although he possessed countless powers and methods, those methods were basically based on gray fog. He himself had never practiced any kind of power system as Hongmeng said.

Even the Purple Spirit Bamboo clone in the world of immortal cultivation actually became an immortal directly through the gray fog.

The so-called cultivation to the Golden Elixir, Nascent Soul, and God Transformation stages is actually just the gradual manifestation of the original immortal body and has nothing to do with cultivation.

After a little thought, Lin Zhongtian smiled and said, "Since you have invited me so kindly, I will not refuse!"

"However, I don't plan to enter the universe created by fellow Taoist right now..."

Hong Meng was slightly startled, and then his mind moved, and he suddenly said: "So that's it!"

"In that case, please leave the Hongmeng space first!"

"When the time comes, I will go to the void to visit fellow Taoist..."
