How did the Fierce Beast heavenly tribulation come about?
Why can't Spirit Beasts become gods?
Su Ming took a deep breath. At this moment, his mind was in chaos.
"Spirit Beasts can't become gods. This should be the Dragon God's doing. How did the Dragon God bring about the heavenly tribulation? How did he lock the tribulation onto Spirit Beasts? And why did he divide it into different tiers: the two hundred thousand year tribulation, the three hundred thousand year tribulation... all the way up to the million year tribulation?"
"What was his purpose?"
Su Ming took a deep breath, feeling a bit uneasy.
Could it be that the Dragon God had also violated the Universe's Will?
"What did he do?"
Create the God Realm?
Or something else?
But, he had avoided the tribulation by exploiting a loophole. How had the Dragon God avoided it?
And why had he then played with fire in turn, daring to utilize the universe's heavenly tribulation?
Countless questions could only end with question marks.
Su Ming couldn't figure out the answers.
Dragon Valley.
The sleeping Dragon God's will descended once more.
In the valley where the Dragon God's dragon soul resides, a deep voice echoed.
"Who is tampering with history?"
God Realm.
The imprisoned Asura God's expression drastically changed.
He was imprisoned, confined by the rules of the entire God Realm.
But his strength remained, his divine sense could still be used, and he could perceive changes in the God Realm's origin. He saw it very clearly, because the God Realm's rules were what bound him.
"The divine seat of the God of Time... just fluctuated!"
Thinking of the strange conclusion he had reached when examining the God of Time's divine seat before, the Asura God's gaze flickered wildly.
"When I tried to take control of the God of Time's divine seat, it seemed to be truly occupied, always controlled by someone. Yet, the seat was also vacant."
"Now, the God of Time's divine seat has fluctuated. That God of Time has used the authority of time."
Who could take control of the authority of time without being noticed?
This was one of the God Realm's foundations.
Soon, a deity popped into the Asura God's mind.
"The Dragon God!"
It was him!
"He's not dead. No, he was never dead. He already transcended long ago. It's impossible that I truly killed him. What I killed was merely his outer shell."
"He actually controls the divine seat of the God of Time. No wonder he could transcend."
The Asura God let out a low laugh.
"If viewed from a different angle, isn't this God of Time divine seat the key to his transcendence?"
This thought emerged in his heart.
The God of Destruction waited a long time, but no counterattack from the universe came.
"What's going on? Is the Universe's Will such a pushover? You can steal its power and not be punished?"
The God of Destruction was energized, somehow feeling the Universe's Will wasn't all that.
Su Ming silently sensed the effects of his eighth Spirit Skill. Naturally, this eighth Spirit Ring wouldn't have only one Spirit Skill.
He hadn't invested much energy in it, but its essence was strong.
Just like Tianmeng, transforming into a spiritual Spirit Ring and sacrificing himself to Huo Yuhao. Most of his cultivation had been sealed. The Spirit Ring's energy was actually far less than a million years, but its essence was still a million years.
"Eighth Spirit Skill, Illusory World!"
Create an illusory world, trapping the enemy within.
A space that is identical to reality but independent from it, stripped away.
This was no different from exile.
"Two Spirit Skills aren't the limit, but currently, there are only two."
Insufficient energy.
"Having stolen a portion of the Universe's Will, I wonder if my status has improved."
Su Ming once again entered the River of Time perspective.
He looked at the illusory history beneath his feet, his mind completely immersed in it.
On the eighth Spirit Ring beneath his main body, the deep-space scene was also changing. The entire ring resembled a section of a river with its ends joined, covering the Spirit Ring.
Within this river, countless illusions flashed past, as if every drop of water represented a world.
[Douluo 3]
"The Douluo 1 side succeeded."
A look of concern appeared on Su Ming's face.
He had thought Douluo 1 would be the safest, with the most escape routes, allowing him to test the consequences of stealing from the Universe's Will, so that the Douluo 2 and Douluo 3 sides could prepare in advance.
But the result was that the Douluo 1 side had suffered no punishment at all. Now, he couldn't make targeted preparations.
"The Douluo 1 side exploited a loophole. I wonder if I can refer to that here?"
This thought flashed through his mind, and Su Ming quickly rejected it.
He couldn't keep running away.
If he couldn't test the universe's counterattack here, then the present reality of Douluo 2 would have to directly face the unknown.
Douluo 2 had the fewest escape routes.
Douluo 1 could recreate its illustrationory history. The real future on the Douluo 3 side would be hard to recreate, but he could also abandon it.
The real future was one kind of development. Similarly, if it collapsed, Su Ming could also abandon it. He could completely integrate into parallel worlds of the future.
After all, this future main body had already developed; his spiritual domain was perfected, allowing him to shuttle through parallel worlds.
Creating a real future and using this world as a foundation to cultivate the Future Self—that was one path.
And differentiated into countless parts, integrating into various futures—that was another path.
In short, there were escape routes.
With that thought, Su Ming made up his mind.
"Super Refinement!"
He began preparations.
In the real future, the God Realm couldn't reach Douluo Star at all. So, Su Ming instead didn't need to worry about the God of Destruction stopping him.
Of course, in this era, the God of Destruction was already dead.
He set up his forging platform and preparing the materials.
Then came Super Refinement.
But this second attempt at Super Refinement failed.
"The law imprints of three planes can build a stable foundation. But to sublime the Heaven Refined metal and achieve transcendence, the metal itself needs sufficient foundation."
On the Douluo 1 side, he had used the God of Destruction's Nirvana Divine Thunder. At the time, he was just making use of available resources and didn't think much of it. Now, it seemed that the Nirvana Divine Thunder had been essential.
"God King-level power..."
Perhaps it didn't have to be the Nirvana Divine Thunder. Any God King's power could be used to help Heaven Refined metal transcend.
"God King-level power... does Douluo 3 have any?"
"Demon Island."
Su Ming immediately left the Blood God Legion, teleported to Demon Island, and stripped a portion of the Destruction and Life origins there.
Then came the third attempt at Super Refinement.
Boom!
Boom, boom, boom!
With impacts that could penetrate the soul, the hammer blows entered everyone's ears.
Even the Abyssal Sage King felt the thump-thump.
He perceived the situation here through Abyssal laws, feeling only an inexplicable sense of apprehension.
The Universe's Will descended.
The universal lightning tribulation gathered.
Su Ming took a deep breath and reached out for the Universe's Will once more.
Rip!
He stripped the Universe's Will, filling it into his illusory eighth Spirit Ring.
In an instant, the entire world fell silent.
A fear that originated from deep within the soul descended.
Even the Abyssal Sage King felt that rage.
The endless malice from the surrounding universe converged.
Even though he was only connected to Su Ming by association, he was still swept by this malice.
"What is this guy doing?"
Su Ming couldn't spare the attention to watch the evolution of his eighth Spirit Ring. He looked up at the sky, his expression solemn.
He put away the transforming Super Refinement metal embryo that was still in the middle of its metamorphosis.
In the air, the original universal lightning tribulation rapidly transformed, forming an entirely new heavenly tribulation!
