Finally reached level ninety!
Su Ming felt the Spirit Power within his body, which had become much more viscous again. He made a rough estimate and judged.
"I can still hold on a bit longer."
For ordinary Spirit Masters, condense the first Spirit Core at level ninety, and the second Spirit Core before level ninety-nine.
In Douluo 3, the first Spirit Core advanced to level seventy, the second to level ninety, and the third to breakthrough level ninety-nine.
For Su Ming's three main bodies, the Douluo 1 and Douluo 3 bodies had condensed their first Spirit Cores early, and before level ninety – that is, not long ago – they had condensed their second Spirit Cores and advanced to level ninety.
The Douluo 2 main body was the most special. He had condensed his first Spirit Core at level twenty, his second at level forty-eight, and his third at level seventy.
Now, reaching level ninety was without obstacle, smoothly broke through.
However, the Spirit Power within his body was becoming increasingly viscous.
It was only at this moment that Su Ming suddenly realized, amidst his busy schedule of gathering authorities, that he still had a fourth Spirit Core project to prepare for.
"The fourth Spirit Core, the External World. Although I haven't neglected it, it seems that by the time I reach level ninety-eight, it won't be able to seamlessly connect."
"I need to devote some energy."
"However, I don't need to devote too much. Opening up the God Realm is an excellent opportunity for me."
River of Time.
The three Su Mings respectively looked down at the river below them.
Past, present, future.
How should the Time Spirit Ring be obtained?
Su Ming had pondered this many times, imagining many possibilities.
He had thought about taking water from the River of Time again to condense the Spirit Ring, using only the river water.
He had also thought about the Douluo 1 main body using river water from the Douluo 2 and Douluo 3 nodes to condense it, and similarly for the Douluo 2 and Douluo 3 main bodies.
He could also have the three main bodies each take a section of the river water before and after their current nodes to condense it.
In short, there were many ideas, and the corresponding effects would necessarily differ.
"The most crucial thing is what kind of Spirit Ring I want."
Su Ming closed his eyes, deep in thought.
What kind of Spirit Ring did he want?
"What I want, of course, is the River of Time itself."
His eyes suddenly opened, his gaze condensed.
This was what he sought!
"Therefore, I need to intercept a section of the true River of Time to serve as my Spirit Ring."
But, if a single drop of water could already encompass a world, how could one intercept a section?
Moreover, this section would ideally span twenty thousand years.
His determined gaze now held an answer.
"The God Realm!"
Open up the God Realm!
A drop of water represents a world. Then find a sufficiently small world.
Only then could he find the river history corresponding to that drop of water.
Infinitely small, the water corresponding to twenty thousand years of development of that drop could be absorbed by Su Ming.
"So, everything once again comes back to open up the God Realm."
The pressure on Su Ming's shoulders instantly became immense.
"To avoid mistakes, I should first hearse on the Douluo 3 side."
[Douluo 3]
Su Ming came to the Star Dou Great Forest, looking at the nurturing Super Divine Artifact beneath the Lake of Life.
It was almost ready.
He was not good at naming, so he planned to call this Super Divine Artifact "Pioneer" directly.
The Pioneer Spear.
This was a true, entity divine spear, no longer the energy body Su Ming had condensed before.
As the Pioneer Spear became more perfected, Su Ming's understanding of the life authority grew deeper.
The authorities of destruction, Asura, and others also progressed steadily.
Finally, another five months later, the Pioneer Spear was born.
A pure white spear light pierced the heavens and earth.
With the Star Dou Great Forest as the core, the Pioneer's Will swept across the entire Douluo Star in the blink of an eye.
At that moment, all newborn infants were affected. The vitality within their bodies instantly became active, and strands of energy flowed within their Dantians.
Those with innate Spirit Power saw it only increase.
Those without innate Spirit Power gained it at that moment.
"It's sufficient."
[Douluo 3]
Su Ming came to Dragon Valley again.
"Senior, I intend to carve out the God Realm."
Being sought out again, the Dragon God was also shaken by Su Ming's words.
Open up the God Realm!
"Are you prepared?"
Su Ming thought for a moment and nodded. "The authorities are insufficient, so I need Senior's support."
"Oh?"
The Dragon God's interest instantly plummeted.
So, he had come to solicit investment.
He still had some power left, but it was not something to be used lightly.
"How many are you short?"
Su Ming first smiled wryly.
Seeing Su Ming's wry smile, the Dragon God's heart sank.
This kid wasn't still short by a large margin, was he?
Su Ming thought for a moment and said, "Pioneering, forging, life, Elemental God."
Hearing this, the Dragon God's expression darkened.
"You're joking with me, right?"
Opening up a God Realm requires at least nine God King-level authorities and one Supreme God King authority. You've only gathered four?
Su Ming said helplessly, "I have one Supreme God King-level authority – Reincarnation – that I can use. As for God King-level authorities, they're too difficult to cultivate. Especially nine of them. I currently have several that are still one step away."
"One step away? Then wait a bit longer."
Su Ming shook his head. "I can't wait. To be honest, even the forging authority isn't complete yet. I can only perfect it at the moment of forging the God Realm."
"Also, I need to take advantage of the God Realm's opening to further enhance my destruction authority, so I can accumulate experience for my main body in the present."
Hearing Su Ming say it was for the present, the Dragon God understood.
So that was it. Trial and error in history.
But the Dragon God still didn't want to agree to Su Ming.
Because if it succeeded, it could directly cause a major change in history.
However, there was also a tempting point: if he, in the present, took control of the God Realm, then his present self would also gain control of the God Realm.
Then, the situation in the present would inevitably be turned upside down. His main body could use this to emerge.
Now, Su Ming was tampering with history. The Dragon God himself didn't know the situation in the present and could only think based on the information Su Ming provided.
Even so, the Dragon God was still exerting force for his main body.
He was also thinking about how to help his main body.
Now, Su Ming's idea of accumulating experience gave the Dragon God an opportunity.
Accumulate experience?
First try, make mistakes?
What if it succeeds?
Hadn't this kid thought about it?
The Dragon God looked at Su Ming and voiced the doubt in his heart: "If it succeeds, the emergence of a God Realm would have a huge impact on the present. Are you sure you can withstand the changes?"
Su Ming nodded, his gaze firm.
"The power I have is also somewhat reluctant," the Dragon God said with a wry smile, then turned serious. "However, since you've come to me, I will naturally do my utmost to help you."
Su Ming immediately and solemnly cupped his hands.
"Thank you, Senior."
"When will we start?"
"Three days from now."
[Douluo 2]
"That old dragon dog, truly not a good thing. He can actually gather five God King-level authorities!"
Su Ming cursed.
A probe on the Douluo 3 side revealed that the Dragon God could actually produce five God King-level authorities.
Yet the Dragon God here only said he would help with two.
Although considering the Dragon God was avoiding suspicion, Su Ming felt it was more due to malice.
The Dragon God was definitely not a good person.
Su Ming firmly believed this.
"Pioneering broke through first, followed closely by the life authority – that even surprised me. The forging authority must wait until the moment of opening the God Realm to advance. The Elemental God authority depends on Rong Nianbing condensing it, then I will temporarily hold it."
Even among the four God King-level authorities that the Douluo 3 Su Ming claimed were ready, two were half-finished.
