Watching the expressions on the face of Poseidon shift between joy and contemplation, Yun Ming knew his hypothesis had moved the other party, so he spoke up.
"How is it?"
Poseidon glanced at Yun Ming, sighing with deep emotion.
"An imaginative, genius hypothesis; it truly has a hope of succeeding!"
Perhaps fearing that Yun Ming might get carried away, or perhaps feeling that such praise made him lose face, Poseidon added.
"However, don't get too happy too soon. While your method is feasible in its general approach, there are still many problems that need to be solved."
Yun Ming nodded; he was well aware of this. If it weren't the case, why would he seek Poseidon's help? He could have just researched it himself.
"I know, so could Senior Sea God provide some guidance?"
"Seeing as you're a sensible kid, this deity will explain it to you properly." Seeing Yun Ming's sincere and earnest inquiry, Poseidon was in a great mood and decided to graciously offer some pointers.
"The first issue is setting up a real-world space within your martial soul."
His eyes shone with divine light as he looked at the Atlas Divine Spear constantly rising and falling within Yun Ming's body, saying.
"Your martial soul is a space-attribute divine artifact and comes with its own space, which indeed gives you the possibility of completing this first step. However, that space of yours currently doesn't meet the standard size and needs to be expanded; furthermore, the laws are incomplete and require further evolution."
Setting up a space within a martial soul is different from a Spirit Space or a Sea of Consciousness; it requires an internal space that functions like a real world. Achieving this is inherently very difficult. The martial soul host's personal ability, comprehension, and the martial soul's innate attributes and strength all have extremely harsh requirements. Regarding these two points, although Yun Ming met them—and because his martial soul had transformed into a divine artifact, one could even say he had already traveled a considerable distance along this path—it was still not enough.
Yun Ming nodded in agreement with Poseidon's opinion. He personally felt the same, but he was currently powerless and unable to perfect it on his own. After all, Yun Ming was still too young; combined with his past life, he was only a little over a hundred years old. At this age, Poseidon was still nine hundred years away from becoming a god. For Yun Ming, who had even more ambitious goals, his foundation was too shallow.
"I have a way regarding the laws, but I wonder if Senior has any good solutions for the spatial expansion?" Yun Ming asked humbly.
Poseidon recalled Yun Ming's experiences and asked.
"Your method is to comprehend the Golden Tree?"
Yun Ming: "Yes."
Currently, the Golden Tree is repairing the Dead Realm, and the manifestation of laws is his best opportunity to learn.
"That is indeed suitable, then let's do that. As for the spatial expansion, it can be done like this," Poseidon replied in agreement, then provided his solution.
He raised his hand, and a beam of blue light shot out, merging into the Trident mark on Yun Ming's forehead.
After Yun Ming closed his eyes to contemplate for a while, he understood the logic of Poseidon's method and smiled.
"This is indeed feasible."
"Many thanks for the instruction, Senior!"
Following this, he bowed to Poseidon.
Poseidon waved his hand without saying much and continued.
"The first problem is considered solved; the second problem is controlling your personal timeline."
Speaking of this, Poseidon became more serious. He looked at Yun Ming and said solemnly.
"I can help you with this, and I can even use all my resources to help you achieve your wish in the subsequent processes as much as possible. But in return, I need you to agree to one condition."
Yun Ming: "What condition?"
Poseidon: "It's not certain yet, but this deity can guarantee it will not violate your principles or your heart, nor will I ask you to do something you clearly cannot do. How about it?"
Yun Ming pondered for a moment, then said in a deep voice.
"I agree."
He didn't really want to accept such an unknown condition, but his Meson God Path required the assistance of a powerful god.
Poseidon revealed a warm smile and said.
"Good! Then let's continue."
"Regarding the second problem, controlling the timeline, this deity can do it. There is no need to worry about this; it can be executed at the very end. However, before that, you must also comprehend some laws of time and prepare in advance. This deity will help you with that."
Yun Ming nodded to show he understood.
The first two problems, which were easier to clarify, were solved. Only the last one remained. Poseidon asked.
"Have you thought about how to realize this final step?"
"I have thought about it; it can be done like this," Yun Ming raised both hands, his Soul Power surging, demonstrating his final envisioned method to Poseidon.
After watching the series of changes in Yun Ming's Soul Power, Poseidon understood his meaning. A divine power model appeared before him, rapidly evolving and deducing the feasibility of Yun Ming's method. Yun Ming watched as Poseidon's divine power model constantly shifted, and the Sea God Divine Hall fell into silence.
It is unknown how much time passed before the divine power model collapsed. Poseidon's face looked somewhat haggard; it seemed that even with his cultivation and insight, deducing such a shocking method was extremely difficult.
"Although there are still many deficiencies, this method should be feasible once perfected."
Yun Ming: "That is good."
"Shall we stop here for today?" Yun Ming asked, seeing that Poseidon looked somewhat exhausted.
"From now on, we will summarize our exchanges every month by the time of the Human World. Let's leave it at that for today!" Poseidon nodded, setting the meeting cycle and announcing that today's meeting had concluded successfully.
Yun Ming: "Goodbye!"
Poseidon: "Goodbye."
Yun Ming activated the Trident mark, and his consciousness returned to Douluo Star.
After Yun Ming left, Poseidon no longer needed to maintain his facade, collapsing powerlessly onto his God Seat. The consumption required for that deduction just now was even greater than what Yun Ming had witnessed, making him feel a weariness stemming from his very soul that he hadn't experienced in a long time.
He raised his hand to summon the divine power model from moments ago once more, murmuring to himself.
"I truly don't know how this kid's brain is wired; he can come up with anything."
It was evident that Poseidon was deeply shocked by Yun Ming's creativity.
But that was only natural; what Yun Ming was doing now could well be described as creating an entirely new path of cultivation, so how could one not be shocked!
Although it couldn't be said that Yun Ming's method was entirely self-invented, nor was it some unfathomable, profound mystery, no one else had ever thought in this direction before he proposed it. Only Yun Ming had thought of it—wasn't this precisely the difference between him and other geniuses?
The divine power model in his hand dissipated, and Poseidon raised his eyes to look outside the hall, toward the direction of the God Realm Central Hub, his gaze deep and inscrutable. If Yun Ming's method truly succeeded, it would be an unimaginably powerful shock to the God Realm. Not needing to enter the God Realm, remaining free from the shackles of the God Realm, and having power belong entirely to oneself—the attraction this held for the current gods was self-evident. When that time came, anything could happen!
Perhaps it didn't even need to succeed; the mere appearance of such a theory was dangerous in itself.
"A storm is coming!"
"Forget it, no use thinking about it. Time to get back to research!"
With one final sigh, Poseidon took a step forward and vanished.
