Xu Jin was evolving the Divine Soul Secret Technique in order to derive a powerful Divine Soul Attack Secret Skill, which would transform the blank Divine Soul Star into combat power.
Having carefully considered the reasons for the previous failures, Xu Jin felt it could be due to the conflict between Warm Dream and Shock and Fear.
Warm Dream enticed people into a dreamscape, while Shock and Fear triggered the deepest fears in a target's heart.
It seemed there was a clash of properties.
Xu Jin had been fixated on using Warm Dream because it complemented Breaking Evil well in actual combat.
But now, according to the results of the previous two attempts at evolution, Warm Dream appeared to conflict with Shock and Fear, suggesting if Warm Dream were used, Shock and Fear could not be.
And if Shock and Fear were used, Warm Dream could not be.
Xu Jin estimated that if he decreased the number of Star Patterns used for the evolution, the potency might be reduced.
