"Solar Sovereignty?"
While Shiroyasha was on her shopping spree in the shop, Su Mo also noticed the items she had put up for sale. The other Gifts held little attraction for him, but the few that were related to the essence of Shiroyasha's spiritual rank interested him the most.
Needless to say, the Primordial Star, which controlled the total mass of the entire universe, was one of them. This Authority converged the concept of the universe's total mass, not the specific total mass of one universe. As long as it was mass within a universe, it fell under its scope. This meant that the wielder could freely interfere with the concept of mass itself. If this were in the Star Rail universe, anything with mass would be controlled by this Authority. The combat power of an ordinary Aeon simply couldn't compare.
What's more, this was an Authority that had already achieved convergence.
The concept of "Authority Convergence" held the key to advancing to the Two-Digit Full Authority Domain. Even without considering the effects of the Authority itself, this point alone made the price more than worth it.
So, Su Mo didn't hesitate for a second. After receiving the points paid by Shiroyasha, he immediately bought the Primordial Star.
Just like before, upon successfully purchasing the corresponding item, the rules governing the item's operation were also constructed within Su Mo's body. With his level of comprehension, he adapted to this Authority almost instantly.
In a single thought, the mass of the universe in the Campione! world, and even its parallel worlds, was completely under Su Mo's control. As long as it was within a universe, whether it was the mass of a parallel universe or a multiverse, it was all his to manipulate.
Not only that, Celestial Spirits were a race that manipulated mass and space. As he mastered mass, the corresponding concept of spacetime distortion also fell under his control.
Although Su Mo's strength was still only Tier 6, compared to before, his output was on a completely different level. The general power of an Aeon was only at the Three-Digit level, restricted by the omnipotence paradox. Su Mo's current power, however, could match an unrestricted Full Authority Domain, and was even approaching the level of a Full Authority Domain. If he was willing, given enough time, he could even destroy an entire universe.
After experiencing the Primordial Star, Su Mo turned his attention to another precious Gift: the Solar Sovereignty.
Compared to the Tier 6 product, the Primordial Star, the Tier 5 Solar Sovereignty's price was undoubtedly a mere fraction of the other's. However, in terms of importance, it was the other way around.
The one indispensable Gift in Little Garden was the Solar Sovereignty. No other "Another Cosmology" or "Cosmic Truth" could compare. Although the Solar Sovereignty before him was only one of twenty-five complete parts, even a fragment was almost irreplaceable.
And the reason it was "almost irreplaceable" was because there were still ways to replace it. For example, the group shop's replication.
"Simulated Divinity: Star-Bull Thunder?"
In Su Mo's palm, a blazing sun shone with the light of a stellar beast, finally condensing into a double-bladed axe shaped like bull horns.
Besides having the authority to communicate with the Central Hub of Little Garden and rewrite the Akashic Records of the multiverse, each Solar Sovereignty also had its own unique power. For example, the Leo Solar Sovereignty could grant the Gift of invulnerability, and the Aries Solar Sovereignty could summon the Argo. These were all associated legacies.
And right now, what Su Mo had purchased from the group shop was the Taurus Solar Sovereignty, renowned for having the greatest destructive power among all the Solar Sovereignties. This sovereignty could be used as a weapon, unleashing a blow that even the Strongest Races would find difficult to withstand.
"The so-called 'greatest destructive power' is actually similar to the legacy of the Salvation Divine Thunder? It's simply the power of the sky-based gods' thunder Authority, extracted into its prototype and then manifested?"
The true power of a Solar Sovereignty couldn't be activated by just anyone; one needed the corresponding qualifications to unleash its full strength. However, Su Mo didn't need to bother with that.
The moment he got it, he not only activated the full power of the Taurus Solar Sovereignty but also analyzed the legacy it held with perfect clarity.
The double-bladed axe's shape resembled bull horns and was often used as a symbol of the ruler of the sky. Indra, Thor, Zeus... by gathering the Authorities of these typical sky gods and thunder gods—that is, the authority symbolizing thunder—and extracting their prototype, one obtained the power of the Taurus Solar Sovereignty.
Just like the Salvation Divine Thunder, to be an enemy of this thunder was like being an enemy of the authority of numerous god-kings. Even in the world of Little Garden, there were few defenses that could withstand this level of destructive power. A destructive power of this level was a decent Gift not just for the lower and middle floors of Little Garden, but even for Four-Digit and even Three-Digit powerhouses.
However, in Su Mo's hands, this legacy was met with disdain.
"The technique of extracting concept prototypes is not bad, but the blueprint itself is set at too low a level."
Shaking his head, Su Mo dispersed the lightning in his hand.
To gather thunder purely for the sake of destructive power... a concept of this level was even inferior to the Mythic Thaumaturgy Su Mo had first created. At the very least, the Mythic Thaumaturgy Su Mo had created, after growing, could truly approach a cosmic truth. The Star-Bull Thunder before him, however, was nothing but destructive power, and even that destructive power itself was not the ultimate.
Su Mo could create a hundred similar creations with a wave of his hand.
The prototype of solar authority, the prototype of fire-系 authority, the prototype of celestial phenomenon manipulation... these concept prototypes that didn't involve the level of cosmic truths were meaningless even if created.
Putting this concept legacy aside, Su Mo did not put down the Solar Sovereignty in his hand. Instead, he finally began to study its essence.
What was the basic structure of a Solar Sovereignty? And how could one use a Solar Sovereignty to interfere with the Central Hub of Little Garden and rewrite the Akashic Records of the infinite multiverse?
With these questions in mind, the Taurus Solar Sovereignty in Su Mo's hand was disassembled, returning to the primitive form of a stellar beast.
"Just as I expected, the physical structure of a Solar Sovereignty is constructed from Type-II stellar particles..."
Looking at the stellar beast radiating a star-like brilliance before him, Su Mo, through his own mastery of Type-II stellar particles, roughly understood its basic composition.
"The Taurus Solar Sovereignty itself not only possesses a part of the sun's sovereignty but also the star sovereignty of the Taurus constellation. In other words, this sovereignty can even control an entire constellation."
In the world of Little Garden, the Solar Sovereignty was divided into twenty-five parts according to the sun's trajectory across the starry sky. Apart from the later-added Ophiuchus, the remaining twenty-four were the twelve zodiac signs and the twelve earthly branches.
Su Mo could clearly feel his control over the Taurus constellation. If he wished, he could even make all the stars of Taurus fall at any time. This point quickly piqued Su Mo's interest.
"Not a Celestial Spirit, yet able to control a star sovereignty. How is that done?"
Apart from the Aeons, this was one of the few things that could arouse the interest of the current Su Mo.
Thus, his Pantheon subconsciously activated. The phantom of Nous appeared, providing Su Mo with the necessary computational power. The phantom of Fuli appeared, recording the discoveries he had already made.
Under a full-power analysis, it didn't take long for Su Mo to achieve a small result and temporarily halt his research.
At this moment, outside the window, a celestial phenomenon that shook the entire world occurred.
Even though it was daytime, an incredibly bright starry sky appeared overhead, clearly visible to the naked eye. The stars twinkled, and a careful observer would soon notice that the starry sky overhead did not display the complete eighty-eight constellations. What could be observed during the day, what was abnormally bright, were only the twelve zodiac signs, plus the recently recognized Ophiuchus.
Erica: "The celestial phenomenon outside... is Lord Su Mo researching something?"
After receiving a report from her subordinates, Erica could guess who was responsible for the commotion without even asking. A cosmic-level phenomenon like this could only be caused by Su Mo. To avoid disturbing him, she chose to leave a message in the group.
Su Mo: "Mm, it's over now. No need to worry."
Looking at the twenty-five stellar beasts in the room, Su Mo casually replied.
Then, the starry sky outside returned to normal at the same time.
Only the twenty-five stellar beasts were left staring blankly at him. If you didn't look at their forms, just by their auras, it would be almost impossible to tell which one was the one purchased from the group shop.
No one could have imagined that in just a few dozen minutes, Su Mo had not only figured out the structure of the Taurus Solar Sovereignty but had even imitated its architecture and handcrafted the other twenty-four Solar Sovereignties.
Among them, the structure of the twelve zodiac signs was the simplest. It only required replacing the constellation concept legacy and completing the full trajectory of the zodiac belt. The twelve earthly branches were similar, but a little more complex.
The Solar Sovereignty placed more importance on the sun's trajectory. The twelve zodiac signs were a way of dividing the starry sky, as were the twelve earthly branches. With the twelve Chinese zodiac signs as the legacy, divided unequally by the twenty-eight lunar mansions, one obtained the Solar Sovereignty of the twelve earthly branches.
The situation that Shiroyasha was most worried about and had intentionally avoided had been easily achieved by Su Mo in silence.
"Twenty-five Solar Sovereignties. In the world of Little Garden, it should be enough to rewrite the Akashic Records."
Looking at the small achievement in his hand, Su Mo nodded in satisfaction.
"I just don't know to what extent the Central Hub of Little Garden can be rewritten... The pantheons probably aren't completely helpless against this."
Thinking this, Su Mo felt he still had to try it himself to know the result.
Thus, he put away all the Solar Sovereignties in his hand and entered the chat group.
Su Mo: "@Shiroyasha, I'm done on my end."
Seeing Su Mo's message, Shiroyasha immediately remembered their previous agreement. As soon as Su Mo finished creating the Celestial Spirit, he would come and help her. Although there was still no news of the birth of the final Last Embryo, Shiroyasha still chose to invite Su Mo immediately. If nothing else, a detailed exchange of the situation was necessary.
Shiroyasha: "That's great! Then I'll have to trouble you to come over! Just in time, I'm about to lose my patience with this Queen woman!"
[Shiroyasha has sent you an invitation.]
