Not in the God Realm.
The so-called God of Time wasn't even related to the Phoenix God.
Tang San had specifically observed the Phoenix God's divine seat and discovered there was no connection whatsoever.
He had only become aware of the God of Time because of the Phoenix God.
The bond between the two divine seats was too deep.
Unexpectedly, when the God of Time appeared, it hadn't stirred the Phoenix God's divine seat at all.
Who could it be?
"Outside the God Realm? A God King outside the God Realm? Or perhaps... a Supreme God King?"
Only a higher-level powerhouse could create a situation that even a God King couldn't see through.
But who were the Supreme God Kings?
Tang San racked his brains and could only think of two: the Dragon God and the first Phoenix God.
"The Dragon God? The first Phoenix God was killed by him. Perhaps the God of Time's divine seat was his spoils of war?"
Tang San still didn't understand.
"But the Dragon God is dead too."
The Dragon God had been slain by the Asura God.
This was recorded in the God Realm's history.
That battle had shattered the God Realm.
The current Douluo God Realm was also a part of the original God Dragon Realm that had been preserved.
Tang San's pupils suddenly contracted.
"Wait. The God Realm is very complete! The God Realm has always been in a complete state."
Controlling the God Realm Core, Tang San was sure his perception was correct.
There was Good and Evil, Destruction and Life, the complete system of the Seven Elemental Gods and the Seven Deadly Sin Gods, as well as the supporting Elemental God Descent Divine Punishment Array and the Deadly Sin God Descent Divine Punishment Array.
This wasn't something a broken God Dragon Realm could have developed.
Also, the God Realm's origin was very intact.
"The history is wrong!"
"The God Realm's records are actually all wrong!"
"Then... is the Dragon God dead?"
Tang San's entire body trembled. He felt a chill rising from the soles of his feet, traveling up his spine, straight to the top of his head.
"The Dragon God isn't dead?"
How could that be?
The one who slew the Dragon God was the previous Asura God!
The Golden Dragon King and the Silver Dragon King also truly existed.
The Dragon God had already been split in two, becoming the current Golden Dragon King and Silver Dragon King.
How could he not be dead?
Tang San was questioning.
But there was also fear in his heart.
Because he realized another loophole.
Point out these loopholes, tell others there was a problem, and they would ignore its existence.
But Tang San could perceive them.
"The Asura God's divine seat is this weak. What gave it the power to slay the Dragon God back then?"
Tang San had also discovered that the Asura and the Rakshasa were originally one.
But he had also estimated that even if he re-fused with the Rakshasa divine seat, the Asura God's power would still be insufficient to kill a powerhouse of the Dragon God's level.
Even if the Dragon God's strength was incalculable, the God Realm could substitute.
At the very least, Tang San could confirm that if he fused with the Rakshasa divine seat, the Asura Sword Qi from a full-force slash of the Asura Sword would be completely incapable of shattering the God Realm.
The scale of destruction would be on a completely different level from the records.
"Regardless, the God of Time is definitely special. If possible, I must take control of it. Even if I have to compete with the Dragon God, I must seize some authority."
Tang San took a deep breath and began to scheme in his mind.
"Time. Time attribute. I have fused the Spirit Ring of the Dark Demon Evil God Tiger, but I didn't inherit the Life and Death Arena Spirit Skill."
"Neither of my two Martial Souls has a talent for the time attribute."
"I need a medium. An individual with a talent for time!"
As he pondered, Tang San suddenly paused.
He looked down at the lower plane.
"This Electrolux... has such a deep foundation?"
Small Planar World.
Electrolux revealed a smile.
Condensing nine Spirit Apertures had required the support of one Spirit Core. Then, at forty-nine Spirit Apertures, condensing a second Spirit Core had been necessary.
Now, he had condensed Spirit Apertures to three hundred and sixty!
At this point, he had reached his limit.
"With three hundred and sixty Spirit Apertures, I must condense a third Spirit Core."
He emerged from seclusion, found Su Ming, and asked for his experience in seclusion a third Spirit Core.
After receiving guidance, he returned to seclusion.
A full three months passed before he finally condensed his third Spirit Core.
This was inseparable from Su Ming's support.
Vast energy was the essential foundation for condensing a Spirit Core.
With the third Spirit Core condensed.
"Three Spirit Cores, three hundred and sixty Spirit Apertures. Not only do I not need to increase the number of Spirit Apertures, but I also need to re-concentrate the Spirit Apertures again."
Electrolux had personally walked the path of the Spiritual Aperture system. But when he adapted the condensation of Spiritual Apertures to Spirit Power cultivation and developed Spirit Apertures, he found the differences between the two were immense.
Spirit Cores and Spirit Apertures. Martial Souls and Spirit Masters.
The connections within had taken him even a long time to comprehend.
"Martial Souls... such a peculiar existence. The soul of a Spirit Master."
Through the connection with the Martial Soul, a Spirit Aperture could directly possess characteristics without needing any formations.
If the characteristics were strong enough, a single Spirit Aperture could represent one Spirit Skill.
Of course, that was the extreme.
Electrolux's current research was still focused on the combined operation of multiple Spirit Apertures forming a single Spirit Skill, rather than a single Spirit Aperture independently representing a Spirit Skill.
"This is another time-consuming project. Let me pause it for now. I'll come out of seclusion and share my latest findings with Su Ming."
After listening to Electrolux's latest insights, Su Ming also benefited greatly.
He revised his plan for constructing the External World, incorporating the condensation of Spirit Apertures into it.
"The External World..." Electrolux also gained entirely new ideas for constructing the External World from Su Ming, which broadened his horizons.
"Haha, using Spirit Apertures to connect to the External World and stabilize it. The two complement each other. That's definitely promising."
Su Ming nodded.
"Not only that. The External World might also be able to correspond to Spirit Apertures, condensing corresponding pathways—that is, the rules within the External World."
"Furthermore, the stability of the fourth Spirit Core will be further guaranteed after the Spirit Apertures are integrated."
As he spoke, Su Ming revealed a smile.
These two paths were so perfectly matched that they could be walked together, each enhancing the other.
Use the External World to expand the power of the Spirit Apertures, and use the Spirit Apertures to stabilize the External World's core, the fourth Spirit Core.
"Elder, don't go back into seclusion just yet. Let me first comprehend your Spirit Aperture method. In a few days, I may need your help."
Su Ming didn't stand on ceremony with Electrolux at all, directly stating his needs.
"Help?"
A flicker of confusion passed through Electrolux's eyes.
Teaching?
Or fighting?
Was another great war with the Abyss about to start?
Su Ming didn't want him to misunderstand and spoke directly: "I need you to help me withstand the pressure from the God Realm."
The God Realm?
Hearing the true purpose, Electrolux was bewildered.
"That Sea God? He's still going to attack you? No, you're telling me about it this time. Are you going to lure him into attacking you?"
Su Ming shook his head and smiled wryly. "Elder, don't guess. The truth can't be revealed yet. You'll understand when the time comes. Suffice it to say, the pressure will be immense. I need you to go all out."
"Alright. I'll spend the next few days acclimating to my realm." Electrolux said seriously.
The two disappeared from the battlefield, one to digest his own abilities, the other to digest the experience and techniques of Condensing Spirit Apertures.
