Su Ming was very satisfied with both of his new Spirit Skills: Body Transforms into Universe and Real World.
"This should be related to fate."
If Illusory World was merely the utilization of space, then Real World was the control of fate.
Using a constructed future to influence the present.
"The more changes you make, the more futures you guide, the greater the consumption."
Therefore, Real World did not completely replicate the present. It only replicated a vague world. Only the target whose fate one wished to set was specifically defined; everything else remained vague. Otherwise, every person or thing constructed within it would essentially have its fate predetermined.
"More importantly, this Spirit Skill's significance for this main body of mine is that my 'real future' can finally be solidified."
Currently, he was being washed away in the lower reaches of the River of Time, a discarded part that could be overturned by the impact of the downstream river at any time.
But what if he could transform his 'real future' into the 'Real World' within his Spirit Skill?
That would mean that the future for Douluo 2 was precisely his current 'real future'.
In this way, the 'real future', which should have been abandoned by the River of Time, would become the most orthodox future.
The River of Time would then fall into contradiction. That would be the opportunity for the 'real future' to return to the River of Time, and for Su Ming to take control of the future!
"But to determine the future of an entire world and span ten thousand years, I not only need my strength to reach an unbelievable level, but I also need sufficient mastery over the power of fate."
Su Ming was already sensing that the consumption of this Spirit Skill depended not only on his Spirit Power but also on the power of fate.
The deeper his understanding of the power of fate, the more he could accomplish with the same amount of Spirit Power.
"Fate..."
Su Ming felt that he had to find a way to acquire a status of fate.
Ideally, he would take control of fate itself.
[Douluo 2]
"The two main bodies of the past and future have already condensed their eighth Spirit Rings. Now, it's my turn."
Su Ming took a deep breath.
He had already waited a month.
Throughout this month, Su Ming had been constantly adjusting his state.
Based on the experiences and gains from Douluo 1 and Douluo 3, he had changed his strategy three times.
"The present world: everything is real. The universe is also the most comprehensive. The targeting by the Universe's Will might be more intense. However, I now have a higher status and can also transform into the universe. I should still be able to replicate the Douluo 3 experience."
Even as he thought this, no trace of ease appeared on Su Ming's face. On the contrary, he looked worried.
"The problem is the God Realm. Unless something unexpected happens, the God of Destruction will try to stop me. Just like in Douluo 1, I can use his Nirvana Divine Thunder to help the metal sublimate and complete Super Refinement."
"But here, everything is real. The intensity of the God of Destruction's interference might also be more real."
A simple Nirvana Divine Thunder would certainly not be realistic.
Coupled with the complicated situation in the God Realm, Tang San might also take the opportunity to strike.
If Tang San struck, it would be a true killing blow.
"Now, I can only hope for Elder Electrolux. I hope he can withstand the pressure."
Su Ming looked toward the spatial pocket where Electrolux was in seclusion.
He did not disturb him. He simply continued to wait for Electrolux to finish condensing his Spirit Apertures.
Dragon Valley.
The consciousness of the Dragon God was active throughout the entire small world.
If Su Ming in this era had visited Dragon Valley earlier and then returned now, he would certainly have noticed the difference.
At this moment, the dragon souls in Dragon Valley were no longer wandering. This world was no longer dead and silent. It seemed to have gained a wisp of vitality.
A vast consciousness had taken over the entire small world of Dragon Valley.
The Dragon God!
Su Ming did not know that when his Douluo 1 self had refined the water of the River of Time, turning that fleeting moment of false history into true reality, it had drawn the attention of too many people.
"A month has passed, and still no movement. Could it really be that it's none of the existing God Kings? Is it really him?"
The Dragon God's will echoed within the small world.
With the power of the small world, he peered at everything on Douluo Star.
"One energy, one matter, with reincarnation as the buffer. This Su Ming has a considerable chance of success..."
"Another fellow traveler. I hope he is a friend, not an enemy..."
God Realm.
Sea God Temple.
Tang San controlled the God Realm Core, repeatedly probing the God Realm.
"I shouldn't have perceived it wrong. The divine seat of the God of Time fluctuated."
Tang San's gaze was deep and profound.
He was very concerned about time.
After becoming a God King, he had learned about many situations within the God Realm.
He had personally witnessed Ma Hongjun fail the Fire God's divine trial, unable to inherit the First-Class God divine seat and bring Bai Chenxiang to the God Realm. He could only inherit the Phoenix God divine seat instead.
The Phoenix God's divine seat was naturally extraordinary.
Legend had it that this divine seat was left behind by the first Phoenix God.
Tang San had also examined it closely. Ma Hongjun had helped him sense it. There was no special power within the Phoenix God's divine seat.
However, the authority of the Phoenix God is deeply concerned about him.
This divine seat was actually related to the divine seat of the God of Time.
That connection was hidden extremely deep, yet it was very strong. Stronger than the connection Tang San sensed between the Sea God and the Water God!
This was already abnormal.
After all, it would be understandable for the Phoenix God to be related to the Fire God, or even to the God of Life. But specifically to the God of Time?
Because of this, Tang San paid close attention to the God of Time.
But no matter how much he inquired, he was told that the God of Time did exist within the God Realm. However, this deity lived in seclusion and rarely interacted with others.
Yet, as a God King, Tang San's authority were very high. He had even investigated the God Realm several times and found no trace of the God of Time.
Even using the God Realm Core, he had sensed it.
The God of Time simply did not exist.
The divine seat was empty, without an inheritor.
But the bizarre thing was that this divine seat always appeared to be occupied.
This was very wrong.
Tang San had even confirmed it repeatedly. No other deity found it strange.
Even the Shrek Seven Monsters who had ascended to the God Realm with him thought it was perfectly normal.
The God of Time was supposed to be mysterious; it was normal for him not to want to interact with people.
Yet only Tang San could sense the wrongness within.
Such a strange phenomenon, Tang San could only remember in his heart.
He understood one thing: he was special, able to perceive this anomaly.
He attributed his peculiarity to being a time traveler.
Because he paid special attention to the God of Time's divine seat, he had sensed it when it fluctuated not long ago.
"It really is occupied!"
Tang San was not surprised. Instead, his heart felt heavy.
He already stood among the pinnacle of the God Realm.
At least, he was among the top tier.
Yet the God Realm still had secrets he did not understand.
The existence of the God of Time gave Tang San the feeling that there was an invisible hand behind the God Realm, controlling everything. That the God Realm had never belonged to the God Realm Committee, but to that entity.
"Who is it? Who is the God of Time, truly?" Tang San had been scanning the God Realm for a long time.
He searched inch by inch.
Sensing the authority fluctuations of each divine seat.
He found nothing.
"He's not in the God Realm!"
