The Phoenix God stated he hadn't seen at all how Su Ming comprehended the True Meaning of Nirvana.
"Damn that Shura God."
After cursing the Shura God, he hurriedly sent the reward.
"Top-Grade Seven Trials, First Trial completed. Reward: All Spirit Rings increased by one thousand years, one God-Bestowed Spirit Ring."
Hearing this voice in his mind, Su Ming glanced at his first three dim Spirit Rings.
"Roar!"
The three dim rings instantly brightened. Little Gold made a dazzling entrance.
He scratched his head.
"Roar?" (Did my cultivation increase?)
Su Ming said, "Correct. You should have just grasped the true meaning of Nirvana. Not only must you recover from extinction, you must return in a stronger form. Master this move, and you can increase your cultivation with each Nirvana. You'll become a god sooner or later."
Little Gold was astounded.
That powerful?
"Roar!" (Spirit Master, you must teach me!)
He knew his comprehension was poor, so he definitely couldn't learn it on his own and could only rely on Su Ming's guidance.
"Easy, easy," Su Ming replied with a beaming smile.
As the saying goes, Little Gold was the one he least needed to worry about.
"Top-Grade Seven Trials, Second Trial: Help Spirit Soul Little Gold comprehend the True Meaning of Nirvana, recover from extinction, and return in a stronger form. Reward: All Spirit Rings increased by one thousand years, one God-Bestowed Spirit Ring of specified Behemoth bloodline."
Su Ming: ???
Phoenix God!
Come on, get down here, come!
Spying on my teaching?
Also, this obviously sounds like tricking an intelligent Spirit Soul. You, a foolish Phoenix God, are pretending to be clever?
If you truly got stronger with every Nirvana, wouldn't that be creating something from nothing?
Hard to bear.
That sounds impossible.
Su Ming was purely painting a grand picture for Little Gold, making him practice well and emphasizing the importance of recovery, so Little Gold wouldn't just focus on extinction and truly head towards self-destruction.
Although mentally criticizing the Phoenix God's trial content, he still seriously pondered.
Creating something from nothing was impossible.
But, couldn't you create something if you had something to start with?
"Absorb the power Little Gold couldn't digest during the Nirvana process. That's returning stronger from extinction."
Of course, that was cutting corners.
If you truly wanted to generate power you didn't originally possess out of thin air, you could only draw upon the external power of Heaven and Earth during the Nirvana process, preserving your own power while pulling in more power during extinction.
After one cycle of extinction and recovery, that power would be yours.
"This way, you don't need to accumulate power in advance. You just need to learn to draw the power of Heaven and Earth into extinction along with yourself."
"I didn't expect God-Bestowed Spirit Rings could specify bloodlines. That's beyond my expectation."
Su Ming couldn't help but think of the Spirit Beast gene bank built by the Spirit Transmission Pagoda in Douluo 3.
"Does the God Realm have a gene bank for all Spirit Beasts?"
The Behemoth should theoretically be extinct.
Yet it can be produced.
And it's targeted.
Thinking of the mechanism of God-Bestowed Spirit Rings, Su Ming became even more convinced of this guess.
"Even if the God Realm doesn't have this gene bank, such a thing must exist, and the deities of the God Realm can interfere with it."
For example, the Douluo Plane.
Perhaps the Plane's Laws are inscribed with all Spirit Beasts.
After all, generating Spirit Rings is clearly the result of the Plane's Laws operating. It's highly likely that every foreign species, once completing its transformation to become native to Douluo, becomes a member of this gene bank.
"Just like the Evil Eye clan, a foreign species that also transformed into Spirit Beasts, subject to the constraints Spirit Beasts face."
Thinking this, Su Ming suddenly understood Gu Yue's plan in Douluo 3.
So, the Ten Thousand Beast Platform's ability to resurrect extinct Spirit Beasts might not necessarily rely on the gene bank built by the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.
Perhaps the so-called gene bank of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda wasn't even artificially built, but rather unlocked this gene bank of the Plane.
After all, those who could artificially create Spirit Beasts weren't just Gu Yue and her group, but also the Spirit Transmission Pagoda's Spirit Ascension Platforms, creating corresponding Spirit Beasts with spiritual power.
"The deities really know a lot. Just a trial can bring me so much inspiration."
Su Ming looked at Little Gold.
Little Gold scratched his head, somewhat puzzled.
"Roar?"
(Why are you staring?)
"Teaching you to complete the task."
Su Ming told Little Gold the content of the Second Trial of the Top-Grade Seven Trials.
Little Gold was greatly shocked.
Although he felt something was off, he was still startled by the trial's difficulty.
He had just learned this concept, and the trial already demanded he achieve this?
"Little Gold, this is the deity's regard for you. You haven't fully tapped into your own talent yet."
Su Ming spoke earnestly, motivating Little Gold.
Little Gold lived up to expectations. With Su Ming's help, he broke down the task goal, continuing to experience the Nirvana process while also attempting to comprehend the Extinction Claw, using it to extinguish the surrounding Heaven and Earth.
Time passed.
One month later.
Five claw rays filled with destructive power tore through the minor world's space.
"Roar!"
(I, Little Gold, have succeeded!)
After his happy roar, his gaze dimmed. His entire bear form transformed into a ball of flame, undergoing extinction along with the minor world's space.
"Heh, good thing I mastered the Power of Destruction."
Su Ming watched the successful Little Gold, secretly pleased.
This was the Trinity.
The Power of Destruction obtained from Douluo 3 was still proving useful now.
This Power of Destruction contained the concept of extinction. Little Gold could comprehend it not only from Nirvana but also from destruction, essentially maxing out the conditions.
However, as a cost, Little Gold's current Nirvana seemed very slow.
"Indeed, there still needs to be a digestion process."
Su Ming smiled wryly.
Although you become stronger after extinction and recovery, this process could also be prolonged.
Who knew how long it would take for Little Gold to absorb the power from the space he just extinguished.
No matter.
If digestion is slow, then activate it manually.
"Phoenix God, pour your reward fiercely into my Spirit Ring!"
"Top-Grade Seven Trials, Second Trial completed. Reward: All Spirit Rings increased by one thousand years, one God-Bestowed Spirit Ring of specified Behemoth bloodline."
The three dim Spirit Rings flickered with light. Little Gold's weak voice sounded.
"Roar..."
(Spirit Master, I don't think I'm fully awake...)
He was forcibly activated but hadn't completely emerged from extinction. Apart from his spiritual body being awakened, his other powers were still within the Nirvana Flame.
This extinguished spatial power was a bit hard for him to digest.
"It's okay. Weak digestive ability isn't your problem; the Nirvana Flame is weak," Su Ming comforted his Spirit Soul, very considerately shifting the blame for Little Gold. "Not enough Nirvana Flame? Little Gold, help it out some more."
Phoenix God: ???
Are you human?
"Roar!"
(I knew it! It's this lousy flame's fault!)
Little Gold fiercely criticized the Nirvana Flame in his heart.
"Roar!"
(Watch my Extinction Claw!)
Little Gold frantically unleashed Extinction Claw after Extinction Claw.
Within the Nirvana Flame, numerous claw rays appeared. The flame light fused with the Extinction Claws, and the pace of his recovery also accelerated faster and faster.
"Su Ming, help me control this Nirvana Flame."
At this moment, Dugu Bo, who had started the First Trial alongside Su Ming, was drenched in sweat, requesting Su Ming's help.
His Spirit Power was almost completely burned away by the Nirvana Flame.
