Condensing clones across time?
Su Ming's mind was shaken.
He stared at the light sphere, his breathing becoming rapid.
Don't know how to condense them?
Not knowing how is right!
Because this ability requires coordination with your Spirit Master to condense.
Upon hearing the light sphere's description, Su Ming immediately understood the usage of this ability.
"Is it necessary to use Spirit Soul Faith Power to condense them?"
The light sphere showed a puzzled expression, felt its ability again, and nodded.
"How did you know?"
Su Ming didn't answer the light sphere and continued asking, "You can't pinpoint the time nodes yourself, right? And you can't use Faith Power from other points in time at all?"
"Right!"
The light sphere nodded again, its expression even more confused.
"Remember our first Spirit Skill?" Su Ming said.
Mentioning the first Spirit Skill, the light sphere seemed to gain some insight.
"Borrowing Power?"
"Yes, the first Spirit Skill, Borrowing Power. The targets for borrowing power are fixed, and they are also changing with time. I estimate your newly born talent is related to Borrowing Power."
Su Ming didn't directly reveal the secret of his three selves to the light sphere. Instead, he used Borrowing Power as a starting point to explain its talent.
"So, if I borrow power but not completely, only borrow their power, and instead of borrowing it onto myself, I borrow it into the era where those two targets are, could that help you condense a clone at that node?"
The light sphere shook its head. The elemental petals on its forehead began to spin in circles. The whole worm felt dizzy.
It now had intelligence, but it wasn't very high. It was only a thousand-year Spirit Soul. Even though its intelligence far exceeded that of an ordinary thousand-year Spirit Soul, it was still only at the level of a human child.
After with great difficulty understanding some of Su Ming's meaning, the light sphere asked, "Then can you communicate with them?"
"Hard to say."
Su Ming clicked his tongue and shook his head, indicating that the difficulty was very high.
"Indeed." The light sphere swayed its body, as if nodding, agreeing with Su Ming on this point.
Borrowing power was one thing; communicating with the target of the borrowed power was difficult. That wasn't within the scope of the Spirit Skill's effect.
"I might need to put some effort into developing the first Spirit Skill, coordinating with your ability to condense clones in the past."
"It's not that necessary. I feel even if I condense a clone, it would be temporary, and I myself wouldn't get any information. What I can condense isn't so much a clone as a projection—more like a program," the light sphere said.
It told Su Ming not to specially develop the first Spirit Skill for this ability.
It didn't seem very useful.
Not very useful?
Su Ming thought otherwise.
Even if the light sphere only condensed a projection, as long as the program was set properly, it might allow his Douluo 1 and Douluo 2 selves to borrow power from him.
Three in one? If only his Douluo 3 self could borrow power, what kind of Trinity was that?
Speaking of which, the light sphere could actually awaken such a talent. Its origin...
Su Ming suddenly had an insight.
He remembered how Zhang Tianyang had introduced the light sphere's origin to him.
The light sphere was nurtured in the East Sea, but was discovered and captured by people from the Tianhai Spirit Transmission Pagoda. It was then artificially nurtured, taking several years to condense it into a semi-finished product and transform it into a Spirit Soul. It was fed a lot of spiritual power, becoming a hundred-year Spirit Soul.
"Perfectly matching elemental attributes, plus time talent... Could this light sphere have been nurtured because of my appearance?"
Su Ming used to speculate whether the light sphere was related to the Silver Dragon King, as the Silver Dragon King controlled elemental power and had also been active around here. She had also split herself; perhaps part of her origin scattered during the process, leading to the light sphere's formation.
But now he felt the light sphere was more likely nurtured because of his time travel.
A future soul with an elemental control Martial Soul traveling through time, plus talent related to time...
Su Ming unconsciously rubbed the light sphere.
He really wanted to say to the light sphere—I am your father.
The light sphere was enjoying Su Ming's massage when it suddenly sensed something and looked up at Su Ming.
It felt like this Spirit Master was thinking something bad.
"Xiao Ming?"
Zhang Tianyang, after the phenomenon dispersed, came to the door of Su Ming's cultivation room.
"Teacher, come in."
Su Ming carried the light sphere to the door, opened it for Zhang Tianyang, and let him in.
" As expected, it was your Spirit Soul being born."
Zhang Tianyang's expression was complex.
He stared at the light sphere in Su Ming's hand, as if he had something to say but didn't know how to begin.
"Teacher, what about the light sphere?" Su Ming asked.
"Prepare yourself mentally." Zhang Tianyang took a deep breath, his expression turning serious. "The light sphere is likely a Auspex Beast."
Su Ming was listening seriously, but upon hearing this, he was dumbfounded.
My son is an Auspex Beast?
"Actually, not exactly an Auspex Beast, just its ability is somewhat similar. It should be called the Auspex Beast among Spirit Souls. I just received news that all the Spirit Souls within the entire Tianhai Spirit Transmission Pagoda have collectively broken through." Zhang Tianyang said.
Su Ming sucked in a cold breath.
He knew why this was. The light sphere wasn't some Auspex Beast among Spirit Souls; it was the God of Spirit Souls!
"Those stuck at over nine hundred years, with enough accumulated spiritual power but not yet broken through to a thousand years, collectively broke through the barrier. Those stuck at exact hundred or thousand-year marks also had breakthroughs. Even many spirit beasts in the Spirit Ascension Platform had collective improvements. The free-floating spiritual power within the Spirit Ascension Platform was absorbed by them, increasing their age. Most crucially, they all transformed into Spirit Souls. The Spirit Ascension Platform has now been closed to the public and has begun sealing the Spirit Souls within its space, mobilizing spiritual power to reconstruct the platform."
The reason Zhang Tianyang was late was that he had received these messages and gone to check.
Seeing Su Ming stunned by the news, Zhang Tianyang comforted him: "Don't worry, Xiao Ming. Besides me, no one knows this was caused by your Spirit Soul for now. And even if this news is exposed, no one would dare to harm you."
Su Ming had many teachers backing him. Zhang Tianyang considered himself the worst among them, but even he could help Su Ming conceal this news for a considerable time in the early stages.
Su Ming blinked, looked down at the light sphere, which wore an innocent expression.
"Play in my Sea of Consciousness from now on. Don't come out, or you might cause trouble."
As an old father, Su Ming admonished the light sphere.
Above Tianhai City.
Gu Yue's face was cold. Behind her were three figures.
She looked towards the direction of the Spirit Transmission Pagoda.
"The aura just now... was it an Auspex Beast?" A black-haired, golden-eyed man behind Gu Yue asked with slight confusion.
Gu Yue said coldly, "Not an Auspex Beast. It was faith. A Spirit Soul that has absorbed Spirit Soul Faith Power was born."
"What?"
Di Tian and the other two fierce beasts were greatly shocked.
"How is that possible?"
"Nothing is impossible. Now, find that Spirit Soul. Its fusion with Faith Power must be very perfect. It will likely grow into a true God of Spirit Souls in the future."
As she said this, a flash of surprise passed through Gu Yue's eyes. She paused for a long time, then added, "If its ability is suitable, our plans will need to change as well."
