Su Wen shook his head.
"I am still only at the Heavenly God stage. I've just gained some new insights into the cultivation of Saint Energy."
Verifying the fusion of Saint Energy and achieving the coexistence of Destruction and Creation was, indeed, an insight into Saint Energy.
After his test, his Saint Energy had undeniably progressed. This advancement was not merely a deeper comprehension of fusing the two profound truths into Creation Saint Energy, but more so an enhanced understanding of each individual truth.
Among them, his progress in the profound truth of Creation was the most pronounced.
"Then why did you summon me this time?" Long Shiya asked, puzzled.
Su Wen did not hide anything from him.
"I am about to leave this plane. The development of the Scholarly Realm will rely on you to maintain it. I do not wish for its growth to deviate from its current trajectory."
Long Shiya's pupils contracted.
Leaving this plane?
Was he on the verge of breaking through to the Heavenly Change stage?
Although he hadn't broken through yet, there was already hope for it.
"It is not a breakthrough to the Heavenly Change stage, but simply leaving this plane," Su Wen explained, before offering some words of advice to Long Shiya.
"I can contact the Scholarly Realm at any time, so we won't completely lose touch. However, here on the continent, I still need you to be responsible for maintaining order within the Scholarly Realm. The purpose of the Academy is exactly as I stated, and the goal of the Scholarly Realm is to drive the development of the Heavenly Jewel Master community. This direction must never waver!"
Su Wen's tone was serious and brooked no argument.
The Scholarly Realm belonged to him.
Before becoming the true God of Knowledge, Su Wen would not allow his Scholarly Realm to experience any corruption or degeneration.
Fortunately, he could connect to the Scholarly Realm at any moment, so he wasn't overly worried. He was merely instructing Long Shiya before his departure so that he wouldn't have to constantly monitor this side through the Scholarly Realm in the future.
"As for the Heavenly Change stage..." Su Wen fell silent for a moment, preparing to offer Long Shiya some guidance.
After all, Long Shiya had joined the Academy in the first place for the sake of reaching the Heavenly Change stage.
"In fact, the Scholarly Realm is your opportunity for a breakthrough. You should have felt it by now--the Scholarly Realm is like a miniature, illusory world. Though it is illusory, everything is established on a realistic foundation. When it was first created, it was formed through illusions according to my will. But as time passes, the internal laws will naturally evolve. This is the process of a miniature world's laws evolving. As long as you perceive this change through your Heavenly Jewels, you will have a chance to break through to the Heavenly Change stage."
Long Shiya nodded.
His breakthrough to the Heavenly God stage was the result of a breakthrough in elemental control, but even that breakthrough had leveraged the evolution of the laws within the Scholarly Realm.
The Scholarly Realm had been opened using his own Heavenly Jewels as the vessel, which was also the benefit Su Wen had granted him.
"Even if you cannot break through that way, there are the four elements of water, fire, earth, and wind, plus the elements of light and darkness. If you still fail to break through, you can try going to the Blood Red Hell to learn the profound truth of Destruction, and then learn the profound truth of Creation through Zhou Weiqing. Once you master these two profound truths, combined with the evolution of the Scholarly Realm, you should have enough to break through to the Heavenly Change stage."
What Su Wen said was by no means an exaggeration.
Of course, the prerequisite was that Long Shiya could actually learn them.
With his talent, mastering these two profound truths shouldn't be difficult.
After finishing his instructions to Long Shiya, Su Wen completed his final arrangements.
He returned once more to outer space.
Twenty-four Heavenly Jewels flew out from his hands, fusing with his Heavenly Jewel Set.
The Saint Energy within his entire body surged out.
Twelve pieces of the Consolidated Equipment Set emerged, and Saint Energy was poured into them.
Under the influence of the profound truth of Creation, these equipment pieces gradually absorbed the Saint Energy completely, becoming fully solidified.
Su Wen used all of the Saint Energy cultivation in his entire body to refine these twelve pieces of the Consolidated Equipment Set.
His Physical Jewels and Elemental Jewels were also completely integrated into the Heavenly Jewels.
Every single trace of the Heavenly Jewel Master cultivation system was utilized by him. After the transformation was complete, he finally mobilized a power he hadn't used in a very long time.
Soul power.
Using soul power again after a four-year hiatus brought deep emotions to Su Wen.
In the palm of his hand, a glow of pristine white light emerged.
At the same time, the imprint of the Heavenly Book appeared on Su Wen's forehead. Within the imprint, an illusory ripple emitted a burst of space-time power.
The space-time power wrapped around Su Wen, initiating the teleportation.
Return!
The Douluo Continent!
Inside the inheritance space of the God of Space.
The Void Douluo was meditating in cultivation. Sensing a ripple, he opened his eyes immediately.
His brow furrowed.
Looking into the distance, he saw massive fluctuations of space power, which instantly reminded him of a scene from four years ago.
"Is this... that guy coming back?"
The Void Douluo hadn't expected it to take four years for that guy to return.
He was also curious about where Su Wen had gone, but obviously, no one could answer his question.
What exactly was that inheritance imprint back then, if it wasn't the God of Space's?
The Void Douluo could only wonder in puzzlement for four years.
Su Wen's figure stepped out from the spatial tunnel.
"Senior Void, long time no see," Su Wen greeted upon seeing the Void Douluo.
Even after all the strange phenomena around Su Wen completely vanished, the Void Douluo still maintained an expression of shock and suspicion.
Because even without the power of a god and without the fluctuations of space-time power, the nameless artistic conception around Su Wen's body was still profoundly unfathomable, as if his entire being had merged into one with the surrounding world.
Titled "Void," he found himself completely unable to perceive the space around Su Wen's body using space power at this moment.
Su Wen chatted briefly with the Void Douluo before leaving the space.
He wasn't close with the Void Douluo.
As for the trials of the God of Time, Su Wen had already completed the first four trials. The fourth trial was to fuse Creation Saint Energy, and the reward was an opportunity to view a projection of Creation.
Su Wen had not yet redeemed this reward.
He had already achieved the fusion of Creation Saint Energy and possessed full confidence in opening up a miniature world, so he naturally lacked the burning desire to view the projection of Creation right away.
While completing this trial, Su Wen had also harbored many doubts, which were answered upon its completion.
First of all, this so-called projection was a real projection--a materialization of the memory of actual Creation. The benefits it could offer Su Wen were imaginable.
Secondly, regarding the eligibility for this viewing, Su Wen could save it. Whenever he needed it, he could request it, and the God of Time would pull him into a special space to watch it.
Of course, even with the explanation, Su Wen still didn't know what "Creation" referred to.
Was it the creation of this universe?
The probability was likely not high.
Su Wen felt that the God of Time probably wouldn't be able to orchestrate something of that scale.
He guessed it was more likely a projection of when the Dragon God created the Divine Star back in the day.
Or, it could be a projection of when the Divine Realm was opened.
The opening of the Divine Realm could also be called a type of minor creation. After all, the existence of the Divine Realm was too unique; it was independent of material planes, drifting in higher-dimensional space.
This was also what Su Wen hoped for most.
Because if he wanted a God-King divine throne, he would need to open up a Divine Realm to have enough energy to sustain his divine throne at the God-King level.
Opening a Divine Realm wouldn't require him to absorb such a massive amount of energy himself. He only needed to find energy of this caliber, gather it, and open the Divine Realm, thereby directly assembling a world that was a massive energy body.
Just like Su Wen's miniature world--the energy within it was incredibly vast, but it wasn't poured in by Su Wen himself. Instead, it was filled by absorbing and devouring the surrounding cosmic energy during its creation.
