Dragon Mountain.
Mountain Top.
Su Ming gazed at the sky ahead, his eyes piercing through the layers of space to see the chaotic, disordered spatial turbulence.
"Under normal circumstances, when this happens, the small world would gradually detach from the Douluo plane."
"Yet Dragon Valley remains connected to Douluo Star, showing no sign of leaving."
En Ci spoke, a confused expression on his face.
Su Ming was not surprised.
Dragon Valley had an owner.
The Dragon God was dead, but most of the power he had left behind was still under his control.
Given the fluctuations in the timeline during this era, it was impossible for the Dragon God not to have regained consciousness.
He would naturally also try every means to investigate the situation.
"The Dragon God can only manipulate time through history, toys with it, but he doesn't know much about the future."
"Or perhaps he simply didn't tell me."
"At this future node of Douluo 3, he can also perceive changes in the timeline."
Judging from the nine-colored gap on the real future, the Dragon God must have awakened.
Su Ming reached out, gently brushing his hand before him, as if smoothing wrinkles in space.
En Ci knew Su Ming wouldn't act without reason. He tried hard to sense the space with his spiritual power, feeling the changes in spatial power.
Then, a scene he would never forget appeared.
The chaotic space that the Tang Sect had been unable to restore with countless methods, now with a sweep of Su Ming's hand, rapidly became orderly. The spatial turbulence was reorganized, forming a vortex-shaped channel.
The channel rapidly extended, then broke through the surface of space, appearing in the outside world.
Su Ming stepped forward, walking into this vortex channel.
En Ci opened his mouth, wanting to remind Su Ming that only Spirit Masters below level fifty could enter inside.
But considering Su Ming's profound abilities, he abandoned the idea of reminding him.
Crossing the vortex channel, Su Ming's vision spun.
Descending once again into the small world of Dragon Valley, Su Ming's expression showed a touch of emotion.
When he had come to Dragon Valley before, his gains hadn't been significant.
He had only collected the power of the peripheral dragon clouds and dragon souls, barely entering the Dragon Tomb.
Now, deep within the Dragon Tomb, the Dragon God's consciousness suddenly awakened.
His thoughts rapidly spread along the power of the small world, perceiving Su Ming.
"It's him?"
The Dragon God remembered Su Ming.
Because when Gu Yuena and Tang Wulin were vying for the Dragon God's dragon soul, Su Ming had also been in Dragon Valley. He had mobilized the remaining power left by Gu Yuena, performing rather impressively, drawing a bit of the Dragon God's attention.
Afterwards, he had occasionally paid attention to changes on Douluo Star, aware of Su Ming's subsequent progress.
Moreover, when Tang Wulin died, he had also used the Dragon God's tear to witness the entire situation.
"He's come to Dragon Valley."
From what the Dragon God knew, Su Ming was now far beyond what could be encapsulated by the term Limit Douluo.
"This Su Ming has already been able to break the level one hundred barrier."
"Even with the plane's defect hindering the Spirit Master system, he has the ability to forcibly break through level one hundred."
"The only thing he can pursue now is the God Realm."
Yun Ming's pursuit of recreating the God Realm, in the Dragon God's eyes, was something to scoff at.
Having never seen the true God Realm, he could only fantasize from scratch, thinking that being first on his continent qualified him to open up a new God Realm.
In reality, Yun Ming's realm was far from sufficient.
If you don't ascend to the God Realm, seeing God Kings is like a frog at the bottom of a well seeing the sun and moon. If you do ascend to the God Realm, you'll find yourself like a tiny mayfly seeing the vastness of heaven and earth.
The God Realm had tens of thousands of deities.
Yet there were only a mere five God Kings.
If Yun Ming wanted to open up a new God Realm, the Dragon God would scoff. But if the person was Su Ming, the Dragon God would still take it seriously.
Although he thought the possibility was low.
"This Su Ming – not only could he break through level one hundred and truly become a god – he's only at eight rings now, yet he can muster an authority like Pioneer and push it beyond the Sea God's level. Even describing him as having the potential of a God King seems insufficient."
The Dragon God sighed inwardly.
He had seen much, but never someone like Su Ming.
Without inheriting a divine seat, on a non-divine plane like Douluo Star, he could control power comparable to a First-Class God, his realm even closer to a God King.
"Unfortunately, even a God King is far from opening up a God Realm."
"A God Realm shields the Universe's Will's perception. If opened with only God King power, how could it function as a shelter? Unless there's a special environment, like inside a black hole."
"Even inside a black hole, which automatically shields the Universe's Will's perception, wouldn't you be trapped there for life after opening up a God Realm?"
"A God Realm still requires a Supreme God King to take action to open it."
Su Ming had the potential of a God King, but a Supreme God King was still a stretch.
"Unless he is the source of the time fluctuations..."
Just as the Dragon God was contemplating, Su Ming had already crossed the vast landscapes of Dragon Valley and arrived at the Dragon Tomb.
He showed no attachment to the mounds below, each the burial place of a true dragon.
Each tomb held the remains of a true dragon, representing a Spirit Bone.
True Dragon Spirit Bones.
And their quality likely surpassed ordinary Fierce Beast Spirit Bones.
Walking straight ahead, reaching the depths of the Dragon Tomb, Su Ming said loudly, "Senior, this junior has some questions in his cultivation and has come specially to seek your guidance. I hope you will appear."
"He knows I exist?"
The Dragon God was startled.
Besides himself, who else here would warrant Su Ming addressing as 'senior'?
He had no choice but to appear, condensed a projection before Su Ming.
"How do you know I exist?"
The Dragon God first voiced the question he was concerned about.
"Tang Wulin's body contained the bloodline origin of the Golden Dragon King. Who else but Senior could easily take it away?"
Su Ming chuckled softly, answering.
The Dragon God was speechless.
With Su Ming putting it this way, he knew he'd have to share some real information with Su Ming today.
When Su Ming had killed Tang Wulin, he had been in control of Douluo Star's planar power, capable of intercepting the Golden Dragon King's bloodline origin.
The Dragon God was, after all, 'dead'.
The power he could mobilize was limited.
If Su Ming didn't want him to have it, he wouldn't have gotten it.
By bringing up this past matter now, in the Dragon God's eyes, Su Ming was hinting that he had previously given him a favor.
"What do you wish to ask?"
"I want to carve out a God Realm."
The Dragon God thought to himself: just as expected.
This Su Ming had indeed conceived of opening up a God Realm.
He said truthfully, "I still advise you to give up on this idea. First, cultivate steadily to the quasi-God King level. With your talent, you might be able to master power beyond the God King level before breakthroughing to God King. Only then would there be hope of opening up a God Realm and truly breakthroughing to the God King level."
"Would it require a Supreme God King's authority?" Su Ming asked directly.
The Dragon God was surprised that Su Ming knew of the existence of the Supreme God King level.
"How much do you know about Supreme God Kings?"
"For example, tampering with history..."
Su Ming recounted various pieces of intelligence the Douluo 2 Dragon God had told him.
With each revelation, the Dragon God's heart shook.
Even when Su Ming mentioned the law of conservation of tribulations across time, the Dragon God's expression changed dramatically, his projection even flickering.
"You even know the law of conservation of tribulations!"
This was a conclusion the Dragon God had arrived at through his own research and verification.
In his view, no one else in the entire universe should know this theory.
How could this Su Ming know it?
