Chapter 482 Easter Egg
The giant saguaro is here.

This makes sense.

Anti now understands that the bosses have a variety of ways to hide their pillars. Even when they are killed, they still have ample room to hide their pillars in all kinds of strange places.

Compared to those, it is really reasonable that the Giant King simply hid the pillar in the seed that is already closely connected to himself.

But, did the Atlas of Creatures borrow the power from the Giant Pillars?

The original expectation for the Atlas of Living Things should be more profound than a pillar. Now it is forced to imitate the posture of a giant to borrow the power of a pillar, which seems a bit overdosed.

But it has been said more than once before that if you don't understand and accommodate the use of a pillar that has already been used and engraved with symbols, you won't be able to gain much power from the rejection.

As for the Atlas of Living Things...

The giant atlas grew taller and taller, and together with the pillars behind it, it seemed to have no end. The ceiling of the main hall also became higher and higher without anyone noticing, adapting to the changes in the atlas.

This palace was originally formed from a part of Emperor Hong Ling, and this is reflected here.

The power of the atlas giant is rising steadily.

Understanding the existence of adaptation, the map is not just crudely borrowing the power of the pillars, it is prepared.

Seeing this, Anti squatted down, stretched out a pair of extra arms into the shadows under his feet, and then slowly pulled out two Shadow King Halberds. Ever since knowing that he would most likely have to fight with Sister Remains in the future, Anti didn't use these two weapons very often.

Although it is really powerful, I am afraid that I will have to "return it" sooner or later, so I can't let it become a dependency.

But when it comes to the power of pillars, this is the best way to solve the problem once and for all.

Anti could no longer see anything in front of his eyes except the light.

He raised his head with some effort and looked at the head of the giant atlas, where a line of sight was staring at Anti. It was much more substantial than the ever-changing atlas before.

Finally, the giant atlas smashed down Anti with a heavy hammer.

And Anti stirred up the shadows beneath his feet.

Return to nothingness——

……

The intersection of the two forces did not cause a very huge noise. Of course, this was mainly because the venue was completely confined within the main hall of the Hongling Palace.

If placed in the outside world, this Tianwei Secret Realm would be difficult to maintain.

The little giant felt his legs go weak and he couldn't muster any energy.

Although I know that Mr. Anti has a lot on his shoulders, there is a huge difference between what I read in books and what I see in reality.

The little giant knew a lot from the inherited memories, but he still knew too little about the power of this world.

The black shadow receded like a tide, and the green-yellow giant collapsed. In the process, it returned to its original star disk appearance.

Anti put away his weapon and walked forward. The star disk kept shrinking as it fell, from the height of a giant back to the size of a primitive man. It was not over yet, it continued to shrink, and after it became the size of a compass, it was caught by a hand that suddenly stretched out.

Anti paused and looked at the man in green robe who appeared in the light particles in front of him.

He has long white hair that looks a bit dark, his eyes are pure white with only a layer of black around the edges of his pupils, and he is dressed like a scholar with a hint of immortality.

Seeing this, the little giant's originally dazed expression seemed to be even more shocked. He wanted to walk into the palace, but he still remembered that he had not overstepped his duty. He couldn't help but say, "Great...Emperor..."

"It's rare that my consciousness has returned here, and everything is the same as before." The man in front of him spoke, looking at the main hall, with a sigh in his tone. Then he looked at the little giant at the door: "It's been so long, are there any descendants left? I'm thoughtful, but you don't have to be obsessed. I have given you a choice a long time ago, and I still respect your choice. Don't be restrained, please do as you please."

After getting permission, the little giant staggered over the threshold and walked into the main hall, looking at the man but speaking incoherently.

The man could only laugh and turned his gaze back to look at Anti in front of him.

Just as he was about to say something, he looked at the green light covering Antii's body, smiled again, and stretched out his hand to eliminate the green light on Antii's body.

“Although I didn’t take the baptism and tests in the temple too seriously, I feel helpless to see them broken by you so rudely,” the man said.

"My name is Anti, a foreigner passing through here to work." Anti introduced himself.

The man nodded his chin and said, "My name is Hong Ling, you can call me that. As for the 'Great Emperor', it's just a mortal title, and it doesn't mean anything."

"I heard you were gone," Anti asked bluntly.

"I have indeed left. What is standing before you now is a trace of my will that I have placed in the atlas. It is also a means for me to take a look at the final product when the atlas is about to be obtained by a certain being."

"That might not be what you want."

Hong Ling did not deny it: "Indeed, you have barged in here so suddenly. As a creature from the outside world, or even not a creature from the mixed dream world, you already have your own path to follow. Taking my map can only serve as icing on the cake, but it cannot help you at the last minute. It is far inferior to what Iris can give you."

"I just want to leave here quickly. Something happened." Anti said.

Hong Ling was a little helpless again, but he still handed over the map in his hand: "But, this test field is indeed difficult to give birth to a perfect life. It is useless to leave it here. Since I have left, it will be given to anyone. Although the process is not right, you have also gone through many baptisms and tests. I have no reason to regret it."

Anti took the atlas and thanked him.

Hong Ling looked at Anti carefully, and said with some emotion: "He was born well, perfect innately, and a god or Buddha incarnate. It's a pity that he was shackled. Now, with the help of the mixed dream world, he has finally gained some of the charm he should have."

Is this a compliment?

Anti was a little confused, but now he was somewhat surprised by the inexplicable praise from others, so he just said: "After taking this thing, the dragon outside and the little giant will be freed."

"So it's for the dragon." Hong Ling suddenly realized, "It is also very diligent. Although it has a stubborn temper, it is willing to admit defeat. Once the map is gone, the constraints on it are indeed gone. I just want to help it find its tribe in the void. Otherwise, with the dragon's ability and temperament, it is too easy to encounter danger while wandering in the void, and it may fall into an unknown world if it is not careful."

He is actually helping lost kids find their parents, and he keeps the dog locked up just to prevent it from running away.

This level just took a little longer.

"Is there any news about its tribe?"

"The Chaos Void is too vast, and there is no 'medium', so there is no way to know where the other dragons are. I only deduced a coordinate through its breath and went to the world it came from to take a look."

Hong Ling briefly recalled: "The state of that world is similar to that of the Hunmeng World, but it is more vast than the Hunmeng World, with outstanding people and beautiful scenery. There are even multiple high-ranking beings in the void who have cast their eyes on it for a long time. But in the end, they were all swept away by another native god. The situation of that native god is probably similar to yours, but his platform is much larger than your native world."

Anti shrugged: "Oh, that's amazing." His tone was calm.

He really didn't care that much about it.

Hong Ling saw this and shook his head gently, then said: "Then I won't say much. The Primal Chaos Void is vast, there is everything and nothing exists. If we can meet again, it will be a true destiny."

After saying this, his figure completely blurred and disappeared without a trace.

Anti casually threw the star map in his hand up and caught it again.

Why do I always feel that the existence of Emperor Hong Ling and the Tianwei Secret Realm are like "easter eggs"?
