Watching the authorities in Su Ming's hand, the seven fell silent.
Even the fiery-tempered Fire God fell silent.
Although not yet at the God King level, these authorities already surpassed the single-element authorities contained within their own divine seats.
Was this guy even human?
Su Ming put away the authorities one by one.
"You've seen my potential. After the Emotion God successfully condenses the Elemental God divine seat, he will first ascend his own realm to match the divine seat. Then, he will relinquish the seat. As for the new deity who inherits it, rest assured, there will be no new Elemental God."
"Given the weight of myself and the future Emotion God, we should be able to accomplish this even if it violates the God Realm's rules."
"Of course, it's not that we intend to break the rules. The seven of you don't have to trust us. But you could always side with Tang San. Given Tang San's character, once the Elemental God appears, he will inevitably urge you to reoccupy this God King-level combat power."
The Fire God remained silent.
He was the one among the seven elemental gods who had the most contact with Tang San.
After thinking it over, Tang San was indeed that kind of person.
Outwardly pretending to be disinterested in power, yet secretly forming factions.
Over the years, he had more than once made overtures to the seven elemental gods. The meaning was clear: he wanted their support.
"Therefore, whether it's our promise or the initiative you hold, you can be assured that within one year, the Elemental God divine seat will return to the control of the seven of you."
Su Ming spoke eloquently.
"Moreover, during this year, the Emotion God can guarantee that he will not monopolize the Elemental God's authority. If the seven of you wish to borrow it, you still can."
"That's right," Rong Nianbing added.
The seven gods exchanged glances, all showing signs of interest.
The God Realm did indeed have the Elemental God's authority. But it was merely an authority – one of the God Realm's foundations. What they borrowed wasn't actually complete.
If the authority could be fully extracted in the form of a divine seat, and that seat then returned to the seven's control, it would be equivalent to adding a core to their Elemental God Descent Divine Punishment Array, inevitably increasing their power greatly.
"Seven, you don't need to worry," Su Ming continued. "Our quick breakthrough cannot do without the seven's help. Both the energy and the faith for the divine seat need your support – filling the Elemental God faith with your respective independent elemental faiths."
"In this way, the foundation of the divine seat would not be the Elemental God faith, but rather the individual elemental faiths."
"In the future, it would be even more natural for the seven of you to control the Elemental God divine seat."
Su Ming's words greatly reassured the seven gods.
According to Su Ming, if the Emotion God refused to relinquish the seat, the seven of them could directly side with Tang San. With Tang San's support, they could force the Emotion God out, and it would be even more natural for the seven to take the seat.
"Besides, don't the seven of you wish to go further?" Su Ming threw out another bombshell.
Rong Nianbing looked at Su Ming.
He was shocked and uncertain.
This Su Ming – was he also planning to help these seven breakthroughs?
But these seven weren't even quasi-God Kings. How could they go further?
Oh~
Go further to quasi-God King.
The seven deities stared intently at Su Ming, waiting for his explanation.
"The specifics of how to progress, I cannot yet reveal. But I will leave an opportunity for the seven of you. At that time, each single-element corresponding divine seat will have a chance at fortune. Whether you seize it, and whether you can, will depend on your choices."
The Elemental God's status ultimately came from the seven deities of Douluo 1.
Although not of the same spacetime, Su Ming would still not forget this debt of gratitude.
If he could help them, he truly wanted to.
After the seven First-Class Gods left, Rong Nianbing asked, "Why are you doing all this?"
"For my cultivation."
"Your cultivation?"
"I want you, Senior, to share the Elemental God authority with me. I also want to comprehend this authority, even master this God King-level authority."
Rong Nianbing hesitated. "After the divine seat is condensed, the authority becomes fixed. Within the Douluo God Realm's territory, it should be very difficult to have a second copy. Even if you comprehend the mysteries of the authority, with it controlled by the deity holding the divine seat, the power you can exert would be limited."
Su Ming, however, smiled mysteriously.
That wasn't his concern.
The predicament normal people would face – he, Su Ming of the Trinity, would not experience.
What? The authority is fixed, only one copy exists in the main body? Sorry, this authority comes from the past and future.
You ask where the authority of the past and future comes from? Naturally, it's shared from the past by the Douluo2 side's status.
Sharing authority from the past – doesn't that make it the Douluo 2 authority? Of course not. After sharing the past, this also counts as an authority of the past and future.
Unable to get an answer, Rong Nianbing didn't press further.
He knew the Elemental God authority must be of great use to Su Ming.
"Perhaps it's to have a reference," he could only think.
"Senior, let's not waste any more time in the God Realm. Every second that passes here is three hundred and sixty times that in the lower plane."
Rong Nianbing immediately split off a projection.
Su Ming looked at the projection, which was almost solid, and secretly clicked his tongue.
He was really investing heavily.
This projection probably contained not only divine sense but also a part of his soul origin.
Su Ming nodded, then his spiritual body dissipated.
Rong Nianbing intercepted this portion of spiritual power and sent it to Douluo Star together with his own projection.
After sending the projection and Su Ming's spiritual power back to Douluo Star, he condensed another projection.
With the condensation of the second projection, Rong Nianbing's face turned pale.
Splitting off two projections in succession, each containing part of his soul origin, his main body suffered no less than a severe blow.
He sent this second projection back to his home plane to establish the Elemental God faith there.
Reincarnation Realm.
Su Ming smiled, signaling Electrolux to help block the commotion.
"Senior, I'm troubling you."
As he spoke, Su Ming also provided Rong Nianbing with a large amount of Elemental God faith.
Rong Nianbing nodded and began comprehending the Elemental God faith.
"I don't need to worry about the Elemental God authority anymore."
Pioneering would naturally advance with the gestation of the Super Divine Artifact.
Once Rong Nianbing condensed the Elemental God divine seat, Su Ming could directly comprehend it.
Asura and destruction were also outsourced.
The life authority, although requiring Su Ming's comprehension, was actually of low difficulty because he was the Life Core of Douluo Star.
In this regard, he naturally had an advantage.
What remained were fate, forging, and the yet-uncondensed time.
Fate, actually, was almost there.
Su Ming sensed the mysterious, rose-colored mass in his Sea of Consciousness and made a judgment.
"Intervening in Huo Yuhao's fate has greatly accelerated the cohesion of this authority. If I can wait until Huo Yuhao completely turns against Tang San and they fight, my fate authority would likely mature and break through directly to the God King level."
"So, what I'm still missing now are forging and time."
Time hadn't even been condensed yet.
As for forging –
"I'm on a path that directly confronts the Universe's Will. Cultivating It is a bit dangerous.
