"A new parallel world has appeared recently. I'll go test my Five Elements Mastery there."
The discovery within the Will Space was beyond Su Ming's ability to deduce. For now, he could only focus on his own cultivation.
Having replicated the Five Elements Qilin from Tong Yu, he had also mastered Tong Yu's Spirit Skills based on the five elements.
This time, while exploring a parallel world, he planned to project his consciousness into it. The thought he sent into the parallel world merged into a newborn infant's body, experiencing that parallel world from a first-person perspective.
This time, it was equivalent to him attempting a one-life clearance challenge.
"With my influence, this body's Martial Soul will be Five Elements Mastery."
In a flash, a millennium passed. While experiencing the parallel world, Su Ming could indirectly maintain a fifty-fold time difference. That is, one day in the Real Future equaled fifty days in the parallel world; one month in the Real Future equaled over four years in the parallel world.
[Douluo 2]
The Douluo 3 Su Ming couldn't think, but the Douluo 2 and Douluo 1 Su Mings could conduct targeted explorations.
For example, at this moment, Su Ming was entering the Will Space for the first time during the Douluo 2 era.
In this white, boundless world, the boundaries were clear-cut.
"Three-tenths of the area belong to the Will of the Plane. Seven-tenths belong to the Sea God."
This was the situation in Douluo 2.
Tang Hao had not yet seized the position of Lord of the Plane.
He initially thought it was just a glance, but Su Ming's gaze fixed on the white points of light within the Sea God's territory.
"There's only one. This belongs to the fortune of the Star Luo Continent. Which means the fortune of the Heaven Dou Continent was concealed before this era."
[Douluo 1]
Su Ming also entered the Will Space.
"In this era, the Heaven Dou Continent still exists."
The Sea God's faith had not yet affected the Will Space. The Will Space in this era completely belonged to the Will of the Plane.
"So, Tang San did everything?"
Why did he hide the Heaven Dou Continent so early?
Su Ming became interested.
For no reason at all, no one would hide garbage.
Since Tang San hid the Heaven Dou Continent so early, there must be something good over there.
With this logic, Su Ming prepared to do some exploration.
"Exploring during the Douluo 1 era offers the best cost-effectiveness."
Su Ming sank into the River of Time, making certain modifications to the history of the Sun Moon Continent. He possessed a Spirit Engineer, who went out to sea, accidentally ended up on the Heaven Dou Continent, then fortunately returned to the Sun Moon Continent, wrote down this experience, and passed it down.
Time passed.
Two months passed in a flash.
The fleet from the Douluo Continent landed.
The anticipated covert landing didn't happen; they were spotted.
The anticipated confrontation also didn't appear, because the person who spotted them was Su Ming.
Hundreds of people in the fleet stared wide-eyed at the Su Ming opposite them as if they had seen a ghost.
"Su Ming?"
Dugu Bo couldn't help but call out to test.
"It's me."
Su Ming released his Spirit Rings to prove his identity.
Before landing on the Sun Moon Continent, his Spirit Rings were five black, one red. Now, what he displayed to everyone was three black, three red.
Everyone fell silent.
Although the Spirit Rings were different, with that color combination, who else could it be but Su Ming?
His Spirit Rings had advanced again!
The Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos were shocked.
Compared to the possibility that there was a person on the Sun Moon Continent who looked exactly like Su Ming, possessed the Nitian configuration of three black, three red, discovered their landing, and could communicate normally with them... they found it much easier to accept that the Su Ming they knew had simply advanced his Spirit Rings again.
"The value of Spirit Souls is inherently no less than the forging system!"
Their hearts trembled.
This effect, comparable to a divine miracle, was a hidden benefit of Spirit Souls.
The Spirit Rings bestowed by a Spirit Soul could be elevated!
It might even be possible to grasp the key to elevating Spirit Rings with the help of Spirit Souls.
Because Su Ming's fourth and fifth Spirit Rings didn't seem to be bestowed by a Spirit Soul.
The more they learned about Su Ming's past, the more they marveled at the wonder of Spirit Souls.
Douluo 1 Su Ming's growth path was very scientific. First, his Spirit Soul Little Gold merged with his first Spirit Ring, causing it to evolve from a hundred-year to a thousand-year ring. Later, Little Gold became a ten-thousand-year Spirit Soul, and Su Ming's first three Spirit Rings changed from purple to black.
Now, Su Ming wasn't even bothering to pretend anymore. Even Spirit Rings not bestowed by a Spirit Soul had been elevated.
"He must have grasped the general technique for elevating Spirit Rings through elevating Spirit Souls!"
Dugu Bo was the first to disembark, coming to Su Ming's front.
Followed by Chen Xin.
The Star Crown Douluo frowned, also hurriedly disembarking and standing behind Su Ming, exchanging a glance with Dugu Bo.
Hah!
The five Titled Douluos from Spirit Hall disembarked last, standing opposite Su Ming.
However, they were also divided into two groups: Qing Luan, Ci Tun, and She Mao formed one group, while Chrysanthemum and Ghost Douluos formed another.
"Su Ming, did you... resurrect here on the Sun Moon Continent after dying?"
"Yes."
The five Spirit Hall Titled Douluos exchanged glances.
The gap between their separate groups narrowed.
"You've been exploring the Sun Moon Continent for three months already?"
"Correct."
Su Ming revealed a helpless expression.
"I was very surprised too, but it couldn't be helped. My resurrection Spirit Skill was obtained from the Blue Silver Emperor. And there's also a Blue Silver Emperor here on the Sun Moon Continent. There might have been some reaction; I resurrected directly near the Blue Silver Emperor here."
"..."
Dog luck!
Chrysanthemum, Ghost, and the others cursed inwardly.
This was a new continent, with an area only slightly smaller than the Douluo Continent.
How rich in resources it must be.
And Su Ming had been exploiting it for three whole months in advance.
Thinking of this, the hearts of the five Spirit Hall Titled Douluos bled.
Huge loss!
"President Su Ming, during these three months of exploration, do you have any insights? Any suggestions for us? According to our prior agreement, the areas you occupy belong to you. If you inform us, we will naturally steer clear." The Qing Luan Douluo spoke up.
"Everyone, I have good news and bad news," Su Ming said truthfully. "The good news is, the Sun Moon Continent's rare metal resources are extremely abundant. The Spirit Beast resources on the continent are no worse than those on the Douluo Continent either, with over ten hundred-thousand-year Spirit Beasts."
This statement made many breathe rapidly.
But there were still calm individuals.
Dugu Bo asked, "And the bad news?"
"The bad news is, the Spirit Master world here has developed. The major tribes are organized by the three strongest tribes, forming the Sun Moon Alliance."
"How is their strength?"
"Four Titled Douluos."
Four Titled Douluos?
That's manageable.
It can be dealt with.
"Everyone, they have Nine-Level Spirit Tools," Su Ming reminded them.
Spirit Masters must cultivate themselves to reach higher levels.
But Spirit Tools can be used to bridge levels.
Four Titled Douluos doesn't mean there are only four forces capable of threatening Titled Douluos.
Su Ming's words made everyone hesitate.
"I've already made contact with the Sun Moon Alliance and completed cooperation with them, establishing the Sun Moon Continent's Blacksmith Association. You can also communicate with the Sun Moon Alliance. How you choose to interact with the local forces from here on out is up to you."
Although Su Ming said they could choose, he almost explicitly stated he didn't want conflicts to occur.
Four Titled Douluos aren't many, but one Nine-Level Spirit Tool might be equivalent to a Titled Douluo.
"As expected of the birthplace of Spirit Tool technology. My Spirit Hall would also like to see how splendid the Spirit Tool civilization on the Sun Moon Continent is." The Chrysanthemum Douluo laughed lightly, pointing with a delicate finger behind Su Ming. "President Su Ming, you won't stop our Spirit Hall from going to negotiate cooperation with the Sun Moon Alliance, will you?"
