While evaluating, the Sea God had already completed his operation.
Utilizing Su Ming's Sea God rank and the Sea God faith within him, the Sea God directly sent down the divine trial.
As soon as it was sent, Su Ming was shocked, and the deities in the God Realm also sensed the fluctuation.
Because the Sea God's trial arrangement wasn't through normal channels.
Shocked and angry, the God of Destruction confronted the Sea God, demanding, "Why did you give him a divine trial?"
The trials given by other deities were all within their power except for God Seat inheritance. Most Second Class Gods gave Black-level trials; a few First Class Gods gave Red-level trials. All tacitly avoided trapping Su Ming's development with their own God Seats.
But the Sea God was good—directly bestowing a God Seat!
The God of Destruction was furious enough to have his lungs explode.
Once Su Ming's path was fixed to the Sea God, what about his forging?
This was clearly a potential God Seat capable of reaching at least the Sea God's level.
"Don't worry, my trial won't hinder his normal cultivation. This kid somehow grasped my faith and rank in advance."
"What?"
Hearing this, the God of Destruction was greatly alarmed and immediately checked the lower plane.
Actually, without checking Su Ming's situation, he should have realized this point. The Sea God bestowed the trial upon Su Ming without any conventional medium. The only explanation was that Su Ming himself possessed sufficient Sea God faith and rank.
After inspecting and confirming Su Ming already had Sea God faith and rank, the God of Destruction relaxed.
Possessing Sea God faith and rank, yet Su Ming had previously maintained his forging path. Adding a Sea God trial wouldn't matter much.
Clearly, Su Ming himself had an extremely high compatibility with the Sea God Seat. He wouldn't be physically altered by the trial, increasing so-called compatibility with the Sea God Seat and affecting other faith cultivation.
Slaughter City.
Su Ming was observing the Abyssal vortex when a blue-golden light descended from the sky.
The Sea God faith within him stirred violently, transforming into a trident shape and landing on his brow.
This sudden disturbance even started led him.
After careful consideration, Su Ming's grave expression eased.
It wasn't that absorbing Sea God faith made him entirely subject to the Sea God's control.
The Sea God could send down a trial through Su Ming's absorbed faith, the key being the Sea God's Thirteen Trident Techniques during the God Realm war.
From that moment, when Su Ming didn't refuse, the switch for the Sea God trial was already implanted. The Sea God merely had no time for further operations amidst the battle.
"Sea God Trial, First Trial: Travel to Sea God Island. Undergo the trial of traversing the Sea God's Light. Reward: All Spirit Rings increased by five thousand years."
Su Ming's eyes lit up.
A five-thousand-year increase for all Spirit Rings?
The Sea God was really investing heavily.
In that case, he would reluctantly accept this Sea God trial.
God Realm.
Seeing Su Ming not directly refuse the trial, the Sea God breathed a sigh of relief.
Su Ming's rank was too high, directly controlling the Lord of the Plane rank. If he truly wanted to refuse the Sea God trial, he could indeed ignore it, and the Sea God had no other means to punish him.
Hadn't they seen the Shura God repeatedly target Su Ming yet fail to kill him completely?
Su Ming accepted the Sea God trial, then turned back to his main task.
He manipulated the Plane's Power, delving deep into the Abyssal vortex, directly pulling out the Abyssal Laws.
Witnessing this, the deities in the God Realm were also curious: what was Su Ming planning?
Then, they saw Su Ming clear out a batch of Abyssal creatures, remodel Slaughter City, fill it with Abyssal energy, completely transforming it into Abyssal territory.
This sight made the deities frown.
What was the meaning?
Next, Su Ming explained their doubts (doubts).
He took out forging equipment.
Piece by piece, rare metals were placed on the forging platform. Simultaneously, Little Gold was released.
"Watch closely. I'll teach you Heaven Refinement once more."
Little Gold nodded repeatedly.
Little Gold's forging talent was undeniable, but compared to Su Ming, it fell short. After all, Su Ming possessed Trinity, plus the bonus of forging faith, advancing rapidly.
From Soul Refinement onwards, Little Gold began lagging behind Su Ming.
Later, with Heaven Refinement, Little Gold always observed but still lacked confidence to attempt it.
Not even the confidence to try.
Su Ming had no choice but to explain as thoroughly as possible.
"If you can forge successfully, I'll give you the position of God of Forging."
Su Ming said to Little Gold.
He shielded these words from the deities in the God Realm.
Hearing this, Little Gold's eyes instantly lit up.
"Spirit Master, you're magnanimous!"
He knew the importance of forging faith to Su Ming. This was the faith Su Ming cultivated the most. At least from Little Gold's perspective, Su Ming excelled most in forging faith.
Other spirit soul faiths or other faiths seemed like side pursuits; only forging was the main path.
To think the main forging faith could also be given to him!
Touched, Little Gold secretly wiped a tear.
He had failed his Spirit Master, not learning Heaven Refinement for so long.
Through the connection between spirit soul and Spirit Master, sensing Little Gold's thoughts, Su Ming couldn't help but sweat.
Little Gold had been learning forging for only a few years at most. Even by Douluo 3 standards, he was absolutely an Eighth-Rank Sacred Blacksmith, a top-tier one.
A Sacred Blacksmith just one step away from attempting Heaven Refinement!
"Watch closely. This is my new attempt—using another plane's Laws to perform Heaven Refinement."
Su Ming had already begun demonstrating.
God Realm.
The God of Destruction closely observed Su Ming's forging this time.
"He actually intends to use another plane's Laws for forging."
He drew a sharp, cold breath.
He realized something.
"The essence of Heaven Refinement is baptism by Laws. He temporarily can't find a path further, so he's not limited to Douluo's Law baptism anymore. Now he's trying Abyssal Law baptism."
Slaughter City.
Under Su Ming's hammer, the nine-in-one alloy already shone brilliantly. Luminous spiritual radiance overflowed, illuminating the entire Slaughter City. The dazzling spiritual glow was exceptionally bright in this dead, silent land.
On the other side of the Abyssal channel, the Abyssal Sage King also sensed this scene, deeply frowning.
His expression was quite haggard; he had been standing here for a hundred years.
No one knew how apprehensively he had lived these past hundred years.
Somehow, another plane sent feedback, requesting a channel establishment, along with a fatal attraction, as if his plane lacked something, and that thing was calling to him.
Bewitched, the Abyssal Sage King established the channel.
Who knew that as soon as the channel was established, he couldn't escape? Blood-red Shura God Power directly infiltrated.
It had terrified him back then.
For a hundred years, the Abyssal Sage King dared not be careless. Usually fond of slumber, he stubbornly refrained from sleeping.
Now, with Su Ming performing Heaven Refinement using Abyssal Laws, the greatest confusion lingering in the Abyssal Sage King's heart was finally resolved.
So the attraction he felt came from this person's forging!
