Stuff I missed when I posted the profiles but after re-reading them I've realized.
All main characters or beings who have the potential or can become a Universe (Grandmist) Controller have Fate Manipulation Resistance as they can resist even to Hong Meng interference.
As can be seen, those characters that can become or have the potential of a Universe Controller are beyond even Hong Meng's Fate Manipulation.
Now about its potency.
As can be seen A Cosmos it's formed from countless planes that have countless spaces. With each Grandmist Controller and with time, more Cosmoses appear. The Grandmist Space it's above them all as only those that have broke through their Cosmos can reach it, Hong Meng being the first being in creation who appeared once with it.
Nothing existed before Hong Meng, even the Concepts were created by him through the use of the Grandmist Energy which it's the united form of the Five Elements.
Quotes for these statements will be in the next section. Anyway, it's clear that the potency can be from 2-B to a 2-A with likely chance for higher but I still need to collect more information from the novel prequel - Stellar Transformation that happens in the same verse. Coiling Dragon and Stellar Transformation form Grandmist Duology, so till I complete to re-read ST, I can only push so far.
This will only apply to Linley Baruch as only he had this potential (he will become a Grandmist Controller but I'm still working on the key).
This one may change in the future depending on what more information I accquire from Stellar Transformation and how high Hong Meng will be tier-ed.
Conceptual Manipulation
Conceptual Manipulation for those that can control one or more of Five Elements or one or more of the Four Edicts.
Duality already existed as opposing nature such as Fire and Water could coexist before Yin Yang energies, and Balance too could be maintained.
Even the Edicts are created from them.
Even Grandmist Space it's formed from those Five Elements.
What are the 4 Edicts?
As you can see the Overgods are Edicts, personifications of the concepts of Destruction, Life, Death, and Fate. They are omnipresent over the infinite planes of the Cosmos.
The Five Elements (Wind, Water, Earth, Fire, and Wood) predates the Yin and Yang (Duality) and could coexist in balance without such a concept. At some time Yin and Yang appeared/birthed from them. The Five Elements united form Grandmist Energy - the primeval energy before creation. The Five Elements, as can be seen, are not simple elements but higher concepts that have different "Mysteries" that compose them (6 for all excluding Wind that has 9). Even the concepts/manifestations like Death, Life, Destruction, and Fate that are Type 2 Conceptual beings don't make part of the Five but are formed from them.
As a result, controlling such an Element, it results in Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2) for anyone from Demigod and above while limited for Saints.
From the Saint realm, all cultivators start to be able to manipulate the "Mystery" within one or more Elements or Edicts. To become a Demigod, a cultivator must master one Law. To become a God, a cultivator must master three Laws and to become a Highgod, a cultivator must master all Laws within that Element.
Just one "Mystery" from Wind Element has control of the Dimensional Space.
This being just one "Mystery" of the Wind - Dimensional Space.
The Wind can be Fast or Slow, so by comprehending these concepts of the Wind then a Cultivator may also gain mastery of the concepts of the Slow/Fast. The Wind also distorts the light to create Illusions so it can also let you master the concept of Illusion. The Wind can also be a space, an invisible space that is everywhere that is omnipresent so it can also be the Concept of Space or Dimension. It can also be the Concept of Sound as through air the sound is transmitted. Short, as long as the Wind can be viewed as a Concept then it is a Concept that comprehends anything that can be an aspect of it. It can evolve or breach in many ramifications that cover a vast concept.
Wind can have countless forms but the form of the wind at its core, its the essence of them all. Grandmist Energy is the source of all things. It's the highest form of world concepts, which covers everything that is possible/impossible.
The 9 Mystery of Wind are the next one: Essence of Wind, Profound Mystery of Doppelganger, Sound waves, Music, Profound Truth of Sound, Profound Mystery of Wind Walking, Spatial Wind, Dimensional Space, Fast, Slow and Velocity.
This will affect almost all characters that have a profile right now.
Haydso, McKenzie Jacques, Heidens, Fai and Rosarie will get limited Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2) as they haven't mastered completely one "Mystery".
Desri, War God O'Brie, Cesar, Zassler, Delia Leo, Bebe and Linley Baruch will get Conceptual Manipulation (Type 2).

| "Those who could create Cosmos, they ought to all be originated from people who have fates that we cannot determine." Hong Meng lightly smiled and said. Qin Yu also nodded. After becoming a Grandmist Controller, Qin Yu was able to calculate the fate of practically everyone in all the Cosmoses. However, it was only practically! In a single Cosmos, there were always several tens of people with fates that he could not determine.'' |
| "For example, there's you, Qin Yu and Lin Meng. Back then, I was unable to determine the fates of either of you. And now, the two of you both managed to successfully become Grandmist Controller. |
Now about its potency.
| "Your vision is too narrow and limited. You must understand…these countless dimensions possess countless material planes, but your gaze is limited to just the Yulan continent. Genius? Amongst the geniuses I have seen, one of them reached the Deity-level ten years after being born, but I've also met those who have trained for tens of millions of years while being trapped at the Saint-level." |
| The nearby space began to shake, and the soul within the divine spark miraculously could sense a unique place. This was a place that was located in the heart of the endless universe, a boundless, infinite plane which one could only sense upon reaching the Deity level…The Elemental Sea! |
| Within this boundless, infinite universe, there are countless common planes. Every single one of those common planes has an interconnected Planar Prison. The material plane and the planar prison, combined, form two sides of a whole. |
"Anyone whose name is on this Golden Grandmist Banner will become a controller of the Grandmist region. Upon being a controller of the Grandmist region, you will be able to freely use the energy of any Cosmos, and will be able to calculate the destinies of virtually all living creatures!" Hongmeng laughed. "But if you wish for your name to be on the Golden Grandmist Banner, you have to, at the very least, break through your Cosmos and come to the Grandmist region." |
| "The various Cosmoses all exist within the Hongmeng Grandmist region! As for myself…my name is Hongmeng." |
| "The energy I used to build the Cosmos was this Grandmist spirit-energy." Hongmeng laughed as he pointed towards the primal gray energy. |
| Hong Meng smiled and said. "Is there something you're confused about? Haha… to be honest, because I am the very first life in this space, I decided to name the entire space as Grandmist Space." |
| Among the ten million Mortal Realm Cosmic Spaces, there were actually six individuals with fates that cannot be determined. Furthermore, they were all from the same Mortal Realm Cosmic Space. |
According to Qin Yu's speculation, his own hometown, the Purple Mystic Star, the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, the Divine Realm and all the other spaces combined would create an existence known as a complete cosmos. A complete cosmos ought to be divided into three layers. The lowest layer ought to be formed by the countless Mortal Realm spaces. The middle layer would be formed by the Immortal, Devil and Demon Realm, the Dinosaur Realm and other countless space of the same level. The highest layer was the Divine Realm. |
Nothing existed before Hong Meng, even the Concepts were created by him through the use of the Grandmist Energy which it's the united form of the Five Elements.

Conceptual Manipulation
Conceptual Manipulation for those that can control one or more of Five Elements or one or more of the Four Edicts.
| "The larger a Cosmos is, the more stable it comes. I allowed part of the Grandmist to transform into the Five Elements of metal, wood, water, fire, and earth. These five types of energy served as the foundation for the primary Cosmos, and then gave birth to Ying and Yang, two opposing types of energy, as well as the tribulation power of lightning." Hongmeng laughed. |
| "The energy I used to build the Cosmos was this Grandmist spirit-energy." Hongmeng laughed as he pointed towards the primal gray energy. "In the Cosmos, I created the various living creatures. In order to ensure that the various races would be able to develop in equilibrium, I had to set many rules and edicts." Hongmeng laughed. "For example, in your homeland, the four Overgods in that secondary Cosmos were actually created by myself, based on the four Edicts that I set up. All they are able to do is carry out my orders; they don't have a shred of emotion at all." |
| Linley looked at Hongmeng, then accepted it. "This…" Countless amounts of knowledge instantly flooded into Linley's mind. In an instant, Linley's understanding of the Grandmist region reached an extremely deep level. He even fully understood the various ways by which the Grandmist could be used, such as how it could be divided into the Five Elements, or resolved into earth, fire, water, and wind. |
What are the 4 Edicts?
"The Overgods…" Hodan continued to snicker at Linley. "Linley, the Overgods aren't people, nor do they have genders. They don't even have bodies." "Uh?" Linley stared at Hodan in surprise. "The four Overgods are manifestations of the Four Prime Laws. They are nothing more than the very embodiment of the Laws that flow through the countless planes! The Overgod of Death is the embodiment of the Laws of Death. The Overgod of Destruction is the incarnation of the Laws of Destruction. The Overgod of Life is the avatar of the Laws of Life. And the Overgod of Fate is the personification of the Laws of Fate!" |
"The four Overgods were a natural part of the infinite planes of the universe. They were the heavens, they were the earth…they were part of the souls of every living creature. They were the Laws themselves! "The Overgods are beings of pure Law. They know nothing of love, hate, friendship, grudges, or other such emotions. They are cold. If you cursed an Overgod, they would ignore you. If you flattered them, they will not reward you. However…if you were to damage the planes themselves, then the Overgods would punish you." Linley laughed. Although the Overgods existed, they were the personification of the Laws of the universe. There was no need to pay them any heed or attention at all." |
| Overgods were far too distant a concept for them. They were part of the Laws of the universe itself! |
"Overgods…Overgods…they are so powerful, but I've never seen one." Bebe muttered. Dilas just said with a laugh, "Never seen one? The Overgods are always around you." "Oh?" Bebe stared. "We are always surrounded by and live within the Laws and the Edicts. The four Overgods are the embodiment of the four great Edicts. Naturally, they are always by your side." Dilas said. |
| "However, as I see it, Overgods are completely omnipotent. It would appear that there is nothing in the boundless universe which they cannot accomplish. They are the Edicts, after all!" |
The Overgods were the personifications of the Edicts, and since the countless planes all operated in accordance with the Edicts…naturally, the Edicts were omnipresent. In other words, the Overgods were omnipresent as well. The material planes held the Overgods. Chaotic space held the Overgods. The Higher Planes held the Overgods. They were truly omnipresent! The Overgods were neither human nor living. They were the Edicts! |

| "What's this?" While fleeing, Linley's face changed dramatically. His body seemed to have been bound by countless thin threads. Although Linley was still able to flee, a restrictive force seemed to act upon him. Even his speed fell down by half! "This is the Profound Mysteries of Dimensional Space!" Linley instantly realized what this was. He had seen Delia often use this technique against others. But now, Linley was the one who had been hit. |
