So it was dissatisfaction with the Years.
"That's easy to handle."
Su Ming quickly assured him.
"Within a year, I'll have the Light Sphere help you raise this Spirit Ring to fifteen thousand years. After one year, we'll follow what I just said, increasing it by a hundred years per month. How about that?"
"Of course, you can also go to the Spirit Ascension Platform yourself. The spiritual power obtained there can still increase this Spirit Ring's Years. If you go to the Ascension Platform frequently enough and the efficiency is high, your fifth Spirit Ring could transform into a hundred-thousand-year ring within fifty years."
Xu Yuan swallowed this grand promise.
Su Ming's act of condensing a Spirit Ring out of thin air was exaggerated no matter how you looked at it.
Moreover, thinking from the perspective that Su Ming wasn't lying to him, he found all of Su Ming's behavior to be very sincere.
The configuration of three purple, one black, and two red might be real; this person might genuinely be a monstrously talented Spirit Master.
Otherwise, if he were truly deceiving someone, he wouldn't do it like this.
As for the Light Sphere, the Spirit Soul that could fabricate a Spirit Ring out of nothing, it was probably Su Ming's hundred-thousand-year Spirit Soul.
The Light Sphere pricked up its ears, its expression excited.
For the Spirit Ring it condensed to break through, it, the creator, had to break through first.
So, was Su Ming preparing to lift the restrictions on him?
As for the "hundred-thousand years in fifty years" pie Su Ming was drawing, the Light Sphere ignored it completely.
Fifty years was far too long.
The Light Sphere couldn't be bothered to wait even ten years.
Instead, the "breakthrough to ten-thousand years within a year" that Su Ming mentioned was the pie the Light Sphere felt it could actually bite into.
"Light Sphere, no need to suppress yourself anymore. Find a time to break through to ten-thousand years. My spiritual power has reached the Spirit Domain Realm long ago; I can handle your consumption."
"Okay!"
The Light Sphere smiled, its eyes narrowing into crescent-moon-shaped slits.
"To prevent accidents, let's return to the main world first."
Su Ming sent the Light Sphere back and prepared to withdraw this strand of consciousness as well.
Before leaving, he placed a mark on Xu Yuan.
Su Ming vanished.
Only a gleaming yellow Spirit Ring remained in the Sea of Consciousness. Xu Yuan was dumbfounded.
Where did he go?
True Future.
Su Ming and the Light Sphere returned and began their breakthrough immediately.
"I, the Light Sphere, am finally ten-thousand years old!"
The Light Sphere laughed heartily, its insectoid body expanding, illuminating the entire valley. It raised its head, swallowing Heaven and Earth Vital Energy with great fanfare.
Su Ming facepalmed.
The Light Sphere's breakthrough consumption hardly required drawing from the outside; it had enough energy from faith and the water of time within itself.
Creating such a big commotion was purely the Light Sphere's own psychology, wanting to announce itself to the outside world.
Although he found it a bit cringe-worthy, Su Ming didn't stop the Light Sphere.
After suppressing the kid for so many years, he deserved to feel proud for a while.
"Su Ming, can I break through to a hundred-thousand years?"
The Light Sphere, brimming with ambition, directly asked Su Ming if it could continue breaking through.
"Is your foundation sufficient enough?"
Su Ming's single sentence brought the Light Sphere back to reality.
"Hmph, even if I can't break through to a hundred-thousand years, I can still reach fifty-thousand."
Over the years, the Light Sphere had lived comfortably, its conditions no worse than those Fierce Beasts nibbling on Tianmeng back in the Douluo 1 era. With unlimited access to the water of time and faith power to absorb freely, the power accumulated within its body was very substantial.
"Then break through. No need to hold back anymore."
"Great!"
In the blink of an eye, three days passed.
The Light Sphere's cultivation reached fifty-thousand years.
Su Ming's Sea of Consciousness.
Chaos watched this scene, its eyes full of envy.
"Once you improve your understanding of Destruction and Life power by another level, I'll take you to Devil Island to directly devour the Destruction-Life origin," Su Ming said to Chaos.
As for Chunqiu and Hunyuan.
Su Ming just looked over, and Chunqiu spoke first.
"Drinking the water of time is enough for me."
Hunyuan stared straight at Su Ming, waiting to hear how Su Ming would arrange things for him.
If progress was possible, who wouldn't want it?
"You just focus on helping me refine my Spirit Power, binding the Primordial Qi talent to me. Your cultivation will grow naturally."
After the Light Sphere's successful breakthrough, Su Ming activated his Spiritual Domain ability again, transporting himself and the Light Sphere to the parallel world where Xu Yuan was.
"Really can't travel casually. Seems like a long time has passed since last time."
Su Ming couldn't find Xu Yuan in Tianhai City.
"Fortunately, I left a Blue Silver Mark when I left."
Su Ming used Time-Space Traversal to directly arrive at Xu Yuan's Sea of Consciousness.
"This can't be the Blood God Legion, can it?"
Xu Yuan was currently battling monsters Su Ming had never seen before. These monsters were extremely powerful; every seemingly ordinary individual possessed the strength of a Spirit Emperor.
As for Xu Yuan, his Spirit Power was now at level 49. He wielded the Tianyuan Spear, engaged in a fierce battle with a giant monster.
"The intensity of the Abyssal invasion in this parallel world is quite significant. The battlefield has been pushed back directly onto the Douluo Planet itself."
Su Ming released his spiritual power to sense and could detect the laws of the Douluo Planet here.
Simultaneously, a dominant, foreign law was mixed in, constantly encroaching upon and devouring the Douluo laws.
"A great array has sealed off the Heaven and Earth Vital Energy of the Douluo Planet. Even with the battlefield pushed back, the amount of energy the Abyss can devour from Douluo at any given moment is limited, possibly even less than what it devoured during the periodic Abyssal Tides when it was sealed."
"Conversely, on this battlefield, Spirit Masters can use their Martial Spirits and Spirit Power, making fighting the Abyssal creatures much easier and significantly reducing casualties."
Su Ming was very satisfied with this situation.
Compared to the original storyline's situation frozen in his True Future, the circumstances in Xu Yuan's parallel world were actually better.
At the very least, Su Ming didn't understand why they would spend great costs to completely repel the Abyss.
If they were at a disadvantage, they should accept being invaded.
If they couldn't withstand the enemy's charge, they should place the battlefield on their own turf.
Rather than putting on a brave face, abandoning Martial Spirits and Spirit Power to fight the Abyssal creatures inside the Abyssal passage itself.
And the Blood God Legion, there was no need to hide it.
Universal conscription would still be better than the original storyline's situation.
As Su Ming pondered, Xu Yuan fell into a life-or-death crisis.
The Ba'an opposite Xu Yuan was strong and robust. Even after being pierced through by Xu Yuan's spear, it still had enough strength to hurl Xu Yuan away, slamming him hard onto the ground.
"Senior, save me!"
Xu Yuan cried out in alarm.
He could no longer care about the fact that Su Ming appeared younger than him.
Su Ming chuckled softly.
Possession.
He took control of Xu Yuan's body.
"Five Elements. Spear."
"Both are techniques that rely heavily on skill."
'Xu Yuan' climbed to his feet, looking at the Ba'an opposite him with a grave expression.
He dispersed the Tianyuan Spear and then reconstituted it in his hand.
The Five Elements gathered around his body.
"All paths lead to the same destination."
Under Su Ming's powerful Elemental Control, the Five Elements were forcibly kneaded into a cycle, forcefully harmonized, completing the Five Elements cycle.
The vortex of the Five Elements cycle spread along his right arm, reaching the spear tip.
"Supreme Shockwave Spear!"
Su Ming thrust the spear forward, and a shocking spear radiance shot forth.
The Five Elements cycle had been forcibly harmonized and fused by him, so it inherently had serious flaws.
Once it lost Su Ming's compression, it instantly transformed into terrifying destructive force.
Boom!
The spear radiance pierced through the Ba'an's body and simultaneously exploded, blasting its body to pieces.
