To achieve the God King realm--especially as a God King with a divine throne--opening up a Divine Realm was clearly the most direct and fastest path.
However, Su Wen was still groping in the dark just to condense a divine throne, possessing no experience whatsoever. How could he possibly open up a Divine Realm?
Therefore, regarding his expectations for the Projection of Creation, Su Wen hoped it would be a scene depicting the creation of a Divine Realm.
Su Wen's impression of the God of Time was that he was ancient and mysterious. Perhaps he had existed since the very beginning when the Divine Realm was first created.
With the completion of the fourth trial, the content of the fifth trial appeared immediately.
"The fifth trial of the Red-Class Seven Trials: Condense a natal soul ring. Reward: Deep Insights into Time."
Regarding the natal soul ring, Su Wen instinctively understood the God of Time's meaning. It referred to the seventh soul ring condensed by unearthing the potential of his own martial soul, which was exactly what he wanted to achieve.
The seventh soul ring position was also the most compatible place for a natal soul ring.
The reward was also related to time, turning out to be Deep Insights into Time.
Although Su Wen had copied all the time-attributed skills he could find on the Boundless Continent, to be frank, those skills had not yet reached the level of Deep Insights.
Deep Insights were on the same level as rules.
Of course, rules were conceptual things formed post-natally. In truth, Deep Insights were already a form of sublimation, an elucidation of the natural rules of heaven and earth.
In fact, Deep Insights had already begun to initiate creation to a certain extent, allowing the power of time to be wielded in ways that defied natural laws.
This was the essence of Deep Insights.
The same applied to the Deep Insights into Destruction and Creation.
An example was the Sea God's Thirteen Golden Halberd Techniques. Among them, the control of the Unfixed Storm was incredibly defiant of nature; its forced control contained the Deep Insights into Space. Aside from that, another move, Millenniums of White Clouds Pass by Like a Fleeting Dream, was a supreme technique that contained the Deep Insights into Time. The remaining eleven forms were all created with the Deep Insights into Time and Space as their foundation.
The Sea God's immense strength was largely due to these Thirteen Golden Halberd Techniques.
A quasi-divine tool, the Sea God's Trident, combined with a top-tier First-Class Divine Throne and the Deep Insights into Time and Space, served as the foundation to create the Thirteen Golden Halberd Techniques, which perfectly complemented the quasi-divine tool, the Sea God's Trident.
The combination of these various factors gave him the qualifications to challenge a God King.
Thinking of this, Su Wen suddenly froze for a moment.
The Sea God is proficient in the Deep Insights into Time and Space...
He looked back in the direction of the inheritance space in the sky.
So, was the God of Time also a sponsor brought in by the Sea God?
Tsk.
"If I get the chance in the future, I must properly repay Brother Sea God."
Therefore, if I really decide to open up a Divine Realm in the future, I will definitely invite you, Brother Sea God, to open it up together. There is strength in numbers.
Furthermore, experiencing it firsthand would grant a much deeper understanding.
The two of us will open up a Divine Realm together, and when the time comes, both of us will advance to God Kings together.
Su Wen had already figured out how to repay the Sea God in his heart.
There was also the God of Time.
As for the God of Stone, it would depend on his situation.
The God of War could be counted out. Their power was too weak. Once they left the Douluo Divine Realm and lacked the enhancement of its divine thrones, their strength might only be at the Super God level.
The God of Stone had a profound understanding of divine thrones. Perhaps even if he left the Divine Realm or even relinquished his divine throne, he could still mobilize some of its authority.
The Sea God went without saying. He must have mastered the authority of the Sea God to an extremely high level to be so eager to pass the Sea God's throne down.
After all, he was the first generation.
Since he had condensed the Sea God's throne himself, his understanding of its authority was naturally incomparably profound. Twenty thousand years had passed on the Douluo Continent, which equated to several decades in the Divine Realm. It was not impossible for him to have raised his divine power to the level corresponding to the peak of a First-Class God and then thoroughly comprehended the Sea God's authority.
A deity like him, even if separated from his divine throne, would not experience a drop in his intrinsic strength.
He could still be viewed as a deity of the corresponding rank who possessed a divine throne.
The moment of fantasy ended, and Su Wen returned to the Douluo Continent.
Douluo Continent.
The Nine Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Four years had passed, and Ning Rongrong had already completed the first few trials of the Sea God's examination. She did not need to stay on Sea God Island for the remainder of the trials, so she had returned to the clan.
Over these years, Su Wen had continuously transmitted the cultivation methods he developed through his faith clone in the Academy World, and she had been helping Su Wen spread them.
Ning Rongrong sat cross-legged on her bed, meditating.
Her soul power had now reached rank seventy.
She had actually broken through rank seventy as early as a year ago, but remembering Su Wen's reminders, she did not absorb a soul ring. Instead, she waited for Su Wen's return.
Su Wen's figure appeared outside Ning Rongrong's door.
He knocked on the door.
Ning Rongrong frowned, waking up from her meditation, and opened the door.
"Brother Wen!"
Her original mood from having her cultivation interrupted instantly vanished, replaced by pleasant surprise.
With a cute leap, Ning Rongrong threw herself directly onto Su Wen.
"Alright, Rongrong, come down first." Su Wen said helplessly, patting Ning Rongrong's back.
"No, Brother Wen, the moment you vanished, you disappeared for four years. I won't come down."
"Didn't I keep in touch with you all through the Academy World?"
"I don't care, you just disappeared for four years." Ning Rongrong wriggled slightly.
Helpless, Su Wen let her cling to him for a while.
Finally getting Ning Rongrong down, Su Wen began to learn about the latest changes on the Douluo Planet from her.
The last time he had contacted this side was also a year ago.
"The Martial Soul Empire is advancing with irresistible force, blossoming on two fronts. They are fighting the two great empires simultaneously, expanding toward both sides, and are steadily growing." Ning Rongrong's gaze was full of worry.
Although the attitude Su Wen expressed was very clear--that he would not help either side and the Academy was strictly neutral--this did not stop Ning Rongrong from worrying.
After all, some of the friends she knew were nobles of the Heaven Dou Empire. As the war progressed, the clans of those friends were affected one after another.
"Right now, the Martial Soul Empire has already occupied half of the continent's area. The advancement earlier was quite smooth, but recently, the Martial Soul Empire's expansion has stopped."
"Oh?" Su Wen was puzzled. Did the Spirit Hall still need time to digest their gains?
That shouldn't be the case.
"It's the Star Dou Great Forest," Ning Rongrong said. "According to the information I gathered from the Academy World, it seems that soul beast kings have appeared deep inside the Star Dou Great Forest, putting immense pressure on Spirit Hall. Just before that, Spirit Hall had revealed a luxurious lineup of over a dozen Title Douluos from the Pope Palace and the Consecration Palace, especially with the Consecration Palace consisting entirely of Super Douluos and five high-level Super Douluos. Then, a battle erupted in the Star Dou Great Forest, and the vast majority of Spirit Hall's powerhouses were deployed to deal with it."
"Soul beast kings?"
"Yes, some people also call them Ferocious Beasts. It seems they are existences that surpass one hundred thousand year soul beasts, and their own bloodline quality is extremely high. While it's hard to say if they are all super soul beasts, they are at least top-tier soul beasts."
The Ferocious Beasts had emerged.
Su Wen knew that this was likely caused by the vast increase in the strength of soul masters due to the existence of his Academy.
The mere initiation of war by Spirit Hall wouldn't have been enough to draw out those Ferocious Beasts, who were busy digesting the giant meat silkworm. It must have been caused by a massive surge in the hunting of soul beasts by soul masters.
