"The authorities of destruction and life are best comprehended in Douluo 3. Anyway, with my Trinity, the status is shared. As long as the status is promoted, re-consolidating the authorities won't be taxing."
"Next are the authorities of Asura and Rakshasa. Based on my previous guesses and the Dragon God's corroboration, these two authorities are actually one – the product of the original Asura God's division. By mastering the faith of evil Spirit Masters, I have the opportunity to dabble in the Rakshasa authority, and thus the possibility of comprehending the Asura authority. Both Douluo 1 and Douluo 3 are suitable. However, given that Douluo 3 is for comprehending the destruction and life authorities, Asura and Rakshasa will be assigned to the Douluo 1 side."
"As for time and fate, I can unite those two authorities myself."
Su Ming made his arrangements silently.
He looked at Electrolux, also thinking about how to help him transcend.
His own transcendence was already complete. Elder was still a half-finished product.
According to the Dragon God, Elder should be considered as having grasped the concept of transcendence, already able to feel history being tampered with, but not yet truly transcended.
Su Ming knew that the Asura God in the Douluo 1 era was like this.
Although the three of them had discussed the 'truth' of the two historical tamperings, only Su Ming himself knew that this so-called 'truth' was false.
Both tamperings came from him.
What had truly caused the abnormality in the first tampering were the Asura God and Tang San.
First, even in the Douluo 1 era, the Asura God had already half-transcended, which would affect the results of the history tampering.
Second, in Douluo 2 – the present – the Asura God had already completed transcendence. The proxy, Tang San, also still existed. Perhaps precisely because of this, even the great power of the River of Time had not directly evolved all history smoothly and without flaw, instead leaving this obvious flaw.
This made him feel heavy-hearted, without the Dragon God's sense of ease at finding an ally.
"The Asura God's method of transcendence might be more sophisticated than the Dragon God's."
Although he didn't want to admit it, the facts seemed to point that way.
At least, based on what the Dragon God had revealed, if the foundation of transcendence was destroyed, even if a Supreme God King didn't fall from their realm, they would be severely weakened, or even directly locked onto by the Universe's Will.
The Asura God's foundation could also be considered destroyed by Su Ming.
Yet, Tang San and the transcended Asura God seemed unaffected.
"Instead, they might have noticed something."
Su Ming felt helpless.
The Asura God's proxy method might have referenced the Evil God's method, and the proxy, Tang San, might also continue to transcend. Especially since Tang San, in the future, completed the elevation of the Sea God divine seat, completely living beyond the shadow of Asura, standing at the apex of the universe as the Sea God.
"Even – Tang San might have transcended in the future as well."
Su Ming's expression was grim.
He entered the River of Time perspective and looked downstream.
The Douluo 3 Su Ming appeared. His spiritual domain expanded. His will, as the domain's spread, penetrated into various parallel worlds, probing information about the God Realm within them.
He altered the plot direction in these parallel worlds, activated the Vast Sea Cosmic Crystal, allowed Tang San to contact Douluo Star, and indirectly gathered information about the God Realm's condition.
"Without exception, in all parallel worlds, Tang San has elevated the Sea God divine seat to the God King level."
"As for the War God Hall..."
[Douluo 3]
Su Ming left the Blood God Legion once more.
War God Hall.
Entering a space inside the War God Hall, he sought out a race that the Federation had unexpectedly taken in – the Fire Li Tribe from Falan Star.
According to the Fire Li Tribe members, they came from Falan Star, had entered the space-time turbulence following a disaster, drifted to Douluo Star, and were discovered and settled here by the Federation.
"The history doesn't match up..."
Su Ming smiled wryly.
The Fire Li Tribe appeared in the Douluo 3 era. Yet, based on what Su Ming knew, Tang San would also go there.
"The God Realm returns to its place. Xiao Wu dies of illness. Tang San is reborn. The Shenlan Divine Region..."
Su Ming thought to himself.
In his past life, he hadn't known much about the changes after Dragon King Legend, only knowing about the Little Dragon God and Tang San's rebirth.
But even that was enough for him to make many connections.
"Is the Shenlan Divine Region Tang San went to the normal Shenlan Divine Region?"
Looking at the Fire Li Tribe elder before him, Su Ming asked a critical question.
"Did you truly drift to Douluo Star randomly?"
The Fire Li Tribe elder also hesitated.
"There was once an existence on Falan Star who broke beyond the twelfth rank. Our Fire Li Tribe used some residual aura from that existence."
Obtaining this secret information, Su Ming no longer harbored any fluke.
Tang San had also transcended in the future.
The timeline was chaotically ordered.
Because the time point of Tang San's rebirth was clearly at least ten thousand years in the future.
Yet the Fire Li Tribe had already fled here during the great catastrophe.
Moreover, according to the Fire Li Tribe members' accounts, the situation in the Falan World was definitely not at the point right after Tang San's transcendence.
Su Ming calculated and was secretly shocked.
"At least before Douluo 2, possibly even before Douluo 1!"
"How did Tang San do it?"
Was it directly intervening in the future?
Was the so-called reincarnation and rebirth actually entering historical fragments and then tampering with history?
Or was it a different way of tampering with history?
If it was the former, Su Ming could still breathe a sigh of relief.
Even if the former showed a more unsettling ability, Su Ming hoped it was the former, because then that future hadn't happened yet, and the so-called future transcendence of Tang San wasn't certain.
What he feared was the former.
If history was tampered with through other means, like the Dragon God's method, then everything would be dire.
Although the Dragon God hadn't revealed his own path to supremacy to Su Ming, Su Ming wasn't stupid.
"Spirit Beasts cannot become gods. Different legends of the Dragon God. Faking death to escape. Summarizing this information about the Dragon God, coupled with the Dragon God's denial that he took the path of tampering with history, it can basically be locked in that he achieved an effect similar to tampering with history through the normal order of time, numbing the Universe's Will."
"And these truths are all hidden within the bloodline of Spirit Beasts. Hence, Spirit Beasts cannot become gods."
"Incidentally, this also helps the Dragon God digest his tribulation debt."
What Su Ming worried about was Tang San doing the same as the Dragon God: arranging things early, having already lived through that so-called rebirth life, truly cultivated on Falan Star, then erased his memories and was reborn in the world of the Tang Sect in Bashu from Tang San's previous life, and then reincarnated as Tang San, step by step becoming the Sea God.
"If it's that sequence..."
Su Ming smiled wryly.
"Tang San might be even more troublesome than I imagined."
"And the possibility of this is high."
Su Ming's gaze was heavy. He again used his spiritual domain to investigate parallel worlds one by one. The result of Tang San elevating the Sea God divine seat to the God King level in each made his heart sink each time.
This almost inevitable result meant that there was an unchangeable cause buried in the past.
"I knew it. Tang San doesn't have this ability."
"'Tang San of the past' may not necessarily be this Tang San. It might be the original Asura God. His proxy method might not only have Tang San as a proxy, or might not only be for the transcendence of this Asura part. They would likely cover each other..."
Rubbing his temples, Su Ming had a headache.
The Dragon God's negotiation with him had revealed many secrets, but also brought him many worries.
Taking a deep breath, Su Ming looked towards the location of the Star Luo Continent.
Since the worries were brought by the Dragon God, he would solve them together with the other party.
"In this era, the Dragon God and I have never met. I can cooperate with him again."
