"The energy authority advancing to Supreme, breaking away from the forging system, has made my forging unstable as well."
Reincarnation, however, remained.
With the burden of the forging authority removed, reincarnation gained much spare capacity.
However, the Dragon God not only controlled the Supreme-level energy authority; this time, he also controlled the creation authority.
This authority's status was also extremely high, close to the Supreme level.
Su Ming even had a feeling that if not for the life authority within it belonging to him, and the other party's control not being perfect, this creation authority would be a solid Supreme authority.
"Two advance God Realms have not only accumulated experience for me but also broadened my horizons considerably."
The Dragon God's operations were top-tier!
While marveling, he also stopped pretending.
It wasn't easy to deal with.
But it wasn't impossible to deal with either.
"Forging uses elements, bloodline, and energy, but it doesn't have to use these three."
Su Ming smiled.
The essence of the forging system was law imprints.
He needed threefold law imprints to support spirituality and complete transcendence.
The choice of elements, bloodline, and energy was purely coincidental, satisfying the path of Essence, Energy, and Spirit.
Now, with the energy authority missing, Su Ming's forging system was broken. The three authorities had become fragmented.
But in Su Ming's hands, these three authorities quickly began to reorganize.
"Elements, separate!"
The power of the seven elements separated from the Elemental authority, each only at the First-Class God level.
However, elemental power at only the First-Class God level was still sufficient for Su Ming's operation.
The power of the seven elements, with the blessing of the reincarnation authority, repeatedly tempered the forging authority.
The forging system was not rigid to one form!
Perhaps when he had first opened up this new realm, Su Ming had taken it for granted, completing Super Refinement with the threefold imprints, and had also gotten lucky, fortunately finding three complementary planar laws forming Essence, Energy, and Spirit.
But now, Su Ming wanted to say that even if his initial success was luck, his thinking was no problem.
"If three tribulations won't work, then four tribulations, five tribulations..."
Now, he was using a seven-tribulation refinement method with the seven elements.
The Elemental God was just one authority, but he had split it into seven parts. With the assistance of the reincarnation authority, repeatedly baptizing the Heaven Refined metal was also sufficient to complete the sublimation of Heaven Refined metal to transcendence!
Simply put, above Heaven Refinement, what was lacking was a feasible forging method.
As long as a method was found to continue to strengthen the spirituality, transcendence could eventually be achieved.
Super Refinement fights the Universe's Will. Therefore, the need for different law imprints to support its status is not as strong.
Even repeated refinement with a single law imprint would be enough to escape the universe's control.
The forging authority blazed with light. Together with the pioneering authority, it suppressed the creation authority and the bloodline authority.
The reincarnation authority, meanwhile, began vying with the energy authority for control of the God Realm.
Sensing the stalemate situation, the Dragon God hesitated.
Su Ming had actually fed the Elemental God authority to forging. This prevented his bloodline authority from advancing, thus losing the opportunity to further strengthen this authority.
Now, could he only remain in this stalemate?
"No!"
The Dragon God gradually sensed something wrong.
Time!
The Time divine seat quietly dissipated. The authority within began to conceive anew.
"Having lost the Time divine seat, his forging divine seat has actually stabilized!"
How was this possible?
Su Ming couldn't be bothered to explain to the other party.
This was Illusory World, Real Realm, Anticipatory Manifestation.
In the Illusory World, the Time divine seat still existed, echoing the Time divine seat of Douluo 3 in the Illusory World, forming a resonance.
Thus, even though the Time divine seat in the Douluo 1 new God Realm had dissipated, the forging authority, which had advanced to God King level using it as a foundation, did not dissipate either.
"The advancement of the time authority is too fast. How can it be? The time authority relies on the countless beings. Has he also tampered with the history of other regions? With only the false histories of Douluo Star and the Douluo God Realm, the time authority he could be at most First-Class God level, and that's already the result of Su Ming's profound comprehension of time."
The Dragon God was shocked by the time authority's transformation.
He activated the Douluo God Realm's Time divine seat, carefully checking, and did not find any more 'partners' that had been seized.
How was this possible?
The Dragon God even proactively sensed the universal territory outside Douluo Star.
In this process, he helped Su Ming expand the breadth of the false history by a full two times.
Yet, he still couldn't find the reason for Su Ming's time authority growth.
"This is the consequence of lacking talent."
Su Ming looked at the nodes of the false history beneath his feet, the power contributed by countless people.
The time authority, of course, should be enhanced using time.
He now acted without fear.
The bloodline authority couldn't advance.
The Dragon God had exhausted his methods this time.
On his side, instead had concealed the Supreme-level essence of the pioneering authority.
And still, it was a draw.
Why should he panic?
He only needed to wait quietly for the time authority to advance to the God King level, and the impasse would be broken.
Time passed. Ultimately, it was the Dragon God who conceded first.
"The Asura authority? Last time you came to me, I remember it was to cultivate the Asura authority, wasn't it?" the Dragon God asked.
Last time, he had revealed a not-small secret to Su Ming.
Yet, Su Ming had never acted against the Golden Dragon King in the God Realm, which puzzled him greatly.
Had he acted in the present?
"Still a bit short of breakthrough," Su Ming said.
"Pioneering, forging, time, Elemental God, life – plus, after this God Realm is successfully established, you can directly sense my destruction authority. You should also be able to quickly master the God King-level destruction authority."
"That makes six God King-level authorities. Adding the Asura authority, should be enough to help my main body open the God Realm, right?"
Hearing the Dragon God's words, Su Ming felt somewhat awkward.
There had never been an agreement to open the God Realm for the Dragon God's main body.
He had just been deceiving the dragon.
"Still one authority short."
The Dragon God smiled and didn't press Su Ming further.
Within the new God Realm prototype, the creation authority split into four. Deprived of creative force, the energy authority also fell back to the God King realm.
The Dragon God ceased his attempt to seize the God Realm.
Su Ming, on the other hand, could continue to explore the God Realm peacefully, waiting for its evolution to complete.
At the same time, he was also condensing his ninth Spirit Ring for himself.
The main body that should have belonged to the past had created a God Realm in the future, condensing the ninth Spirit Ring.
The main body that should have belonged to the future had created a God Realm in the past, condensing the ninth Spirit Ring.
Su Ming closed his eyes. At this moment, he gained a more essential understanding of time.
This was not due to his own powerful comprehension, sensing the fluctuations of time, but because of his actions.
In the domain of time, the influence of comprehension is not as good as the influence of procedure.
Actions trump thoughts and feelings.
"I came from the future, bringing future information, and changed the past."
"Ninth Spirit Skill, Reversing Cause and Effect!"
Using the effect to reverse the cause in the past – this is an ability sufficient to change upward against the flow of the River of Time!
