When Electrolux said this, Su Ming and the Dragon God showed completely different reactions.
Su Ming, who was close to Electrolux, appeared instead indifferent.
Because only he knew that both instances of history tampering were his own doing, just not convenient to disclose to Electrolux.
However, although he felt that Electrolux's premise was incorrect from the start, Su Ming still listened attentively.
After all, the Dragon God had already produced an analysis where the process was completely wrong but the conclusion half-right. Su Ming couldn't simply assume that Electrolux's subsequent analysis would necessarily be wrong.
After all, Electrolux only didn't know that the first history tampering was done by Su Ming.
He was simply attributing the two tamperings to two different people. Even if the conclusions ultimately pointed to Su Ming alone, the process of his analysis still had merit.
Prompted by Electrolux, the Dragon God also began thinking about the issue of history itself.
"Indeed, looking at the results of these two tamperings, the historical changes are completely different."
"The two tamperings are essentially different."
The Dragon God began to analyze.
Listening, Su Ming nodded silently.
The two tamperings were essentially the same – both involved refining the Water of the River of Time – but not completely identical.
While Su Ming pondered, the Dragon God continued analyzing.
"Your second tamper resulted in very clear historical changes. But the first tamper was different. The Asura God's method of tamper history differs from yours, perhaps even from any method I know."
"Wait!"
Su Ming interrupted the Dragon God's train of thought.
Meeting the Dragon God's gaze, Su Ming asked, "The first tampering was done by the Asura God? How do you know?"
"Asura knows many things. The God of Time's divine seat I left in the God Realm has also been targeted by his proxy. If I hadn't discovered your change this time, I would have thought this second tampering was also Asura's doing."
Su Ming knew that the 'Asura' the Dragon God spoke of was not Tang San.
The proxy was Tang San.
Proxy...
The Dragon God's address for Tang San made Su Ming's eyes narrow slightly.
"How is Tang San the Asura God's proxy?"
The Dragon God glanced at Su Ming in surprise.
"The information you have is truly pitifully little. So why are you opposing Tang San?"
Knowing almost nothing, yet opposing Tang San who had a Supreme God King backing him.
By normal logic, being bullied by Tang San and wanting to fight back was understandable.
But Su Ming shouldn't follow normal logic, because Su Ming knew the method of transcendence. He could even tamper with history.
Yet Su Ming didn't know Tang San's true background.
The corner of Su Ming's mouth twitched.
He indeed knew very little.
Of course, he knew the plot. He knew the original story.
But matters concerning Supreme God Kings fell into the realm of the unknown for him.
Su Ming felt that from the very beginning, he hadn't known much.
The so-called advantage of knowing the plot was only useful in the early and middle stages.
Because from the moment he crossed over, he had had the Trinity perspective.
From the start, his powers had told him that this world was different from the Douluo Continent he knew.
"The Asura God is also seeking transcendence. His method of transcendence is not tampering with history but leaving behind a proxy to bear his calamities. Tang San is the Asura God's proxy."
The Dragon God voiced his various conjectures about the proxy, including that Tang San was a part separated from the Asura God's main body, and so on.
Su Ming suddenly understood.
So that was it.
No wonder, on the Douluo 1 side, the Asura God had so steadily supported Tang San.
"I wondered why the Asura God still stubbornly chose Tang San despite my outstanding performance."
Even if he had invested early, he shouldn't have been that stubborn.
Su Ming had even considered that Tang San was brought over by the Asura God, that the Asura God had made Tang San cross over.
But even with that logic, the Asura God's sunk cost shouldn't have been so great as to make it impossible to turn back.
The result was that Tang San was part of the Asura God – the key to his transcendence.
Suddenly, Su Ming's gaze flickered.
"If one has already transcended, can they perceive tamperings of history related to their transcendence?"
"Generally, if it involves oneself, one can perceive it."
Su Ming nodded slightly.
He recalled the holes in his false history and real future.
There were holes for the Asura God and holes for the Dragon God.
It seemed that in those two eras, they had both noticed the world's process being modified.
Therefore, the Asura God, is able to perceive that Su Ming was tampering with history, had spared no effort to kill him.
He wouldn't allow his path to transcendence to be affected.
No, that's not right.
A look of doubt appeared in Su Ming's eyes.
In Douluo 1, he had already killed Tang San. The Asura God had also been imprisoned, losing any chance of transcendence. Didn't that mean the Asura God's transcendence had already been broken by him?
No, that's not right. At the node where he killed Tang San, he hadn't refined the River of Time's water, so the change hadn't synchronized into history.
What if it had synchronized?
Su Ming now felt an urge to have his Douluo 1 main body return to the node where he had killed Tang San and refine the river water at that node.
But he quickly suppressed this urge.
An intuitive sense told him that even if he did that, he wouldn't directly kill the current Tang San. Instead, he would be pursued by the Asura God, who would have fallen from supremacy.
Seeing Su Ming lost in thought, the Dragon God waited a moment before continuing his analysis.
"We just speculated that there might be a third tampering, only that it docked simultaneously with the first, resulting in the historically chaotic mess we see now."
"This so-called chaos is only chaotic from our perspective. If we carefully unravel it, we will certainly find clues."
The Dragon God reached a point where he couldn't proceed further and instinctively looked at Electrolux.
Electrolux said, "You just mentioned that if a transcended being exists within the tampered history, they would perceive the tampering process. What if the part being tampered is related to them?"
The Dragon God's pupils contracted.
Su Ming remained silent beside him.
This question essentially asked the Dragon God: back when he had killed the first Phoenix God, what had happened after he destroyed the other's foundation for transcendence?
This was a closely guarded secret about killing a Supreme God King.
The Dragon God's expression changed repeatedly.
"You mean, during the first tampering, the Asura God killed a Supreme God King?"
Electrolux didn't take a stance.
But the Dragon God seemed to have already accepted this conclusion.
"Asura's method of transcendence is the proxy. The moment Tang San became a god, Asura essentially succeeded. Over ten thousand years, he might have found another Supreme God King and killed him. Alternatively, that person might be the key to his ability to tamper with history."
Taking a deep breath, a trace of shock was evident in the Dragon God's eyes.
So, Asura had also killed a Supreme God King?
Who was it?
In this world, besides himself and Asura, were there other Supreme God Kings?
The Dragon God now felt his intelligence was insufficient.
On the other side, the silent Su Ming was secretly shocked.
The conclusion was off, but more or less.
It wasn't the Asura God who had eliminated another Supreme God King, but Su Ming himself who had killed the key to the Asura God's transcendence.
