197: Section 197

Level only accounts for a tiny part of one's combat power.

He upgraded his skills.

Creation Genesis L5!

Mediation Creation, inherited from the original Creation Skill, officially advanced to the Great Divine Ability: Mediation Transformation.

Wall-Piercing Insight, inherited from the original Gathering skill, has now also restored its original form as a Heavenly Stem Great Divine Ability.

Elemental Emergence L6!

As the core output skill of the Star-Forging Lord.

At this level, the inherent concept of [Emergence] in Elemental Emergence is further sublimated.

Resonating with the Stellar Covenant, a single hammer strike can not only carry any natural phenomenon but also use it to guide Hellfire to deal comprehensive damage to the target!

Starlight Fall L5!

The skill effect Star Shifting can now be activated!

Controlling massive celestial bodies isn't quite feasible yet, but... controlling meteorites to crash into the earth is very easy!

Brilliant Halo L5!

Five-fold effects of energy recovery, spell power, spell penetration, spell potency, and spell stability are automatically applied to himself and all friendly units!

No distance limit, no energy loss!

A certified campaign-level amplifier!

There's also the Victory Divine Inspiration awakened at L5, guiding the scales of final victory toward himself...

Wait!

Victory Divine Inspiration?

Hiss!—

He took a sharp breath.

Su Ming hurriedly tried to suppress his divine agitation, fearing that a moment's carelessness would condense a wisp of Victory Divinity for himself.

He had no interest in cosplaying a gender-swapped version of Athena.

Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect: Star L6!

As the manifestation of the Star-Forging Authority...

The level increase of Heaven and Earth Dharma Aspect: Star naturally caused the Star Casting Path to extend by more than several times out of thin air!

The Mythological Dharma Image evolved from this also skyrocketed in size!

After a bit of calculation, Su Ming couldn't help but curl his lips.

A Star-Forging Dragon the size of a planet—who wouldn't be dazed if it were released!

Under the enhancement of the Dharma Image, that would be top-tier planet-busting combat power; the entire star system would tremble under Su Ming's Dharma Image!

However, Star-Rail Opening, which had been upgraded to L3, was a bit underwhelming.

Moving at the speed of light is indeed impressive.

But it's an indisputable fact that the duration is too short.

The key point is that every angel lady is equipped with a Curvature Engine; even a recruit angel can travel at the speed of light in the universe.

If one had to say there was anything outstanding...

It's simply that Star-Rail Opening comes with the concept of "fast," and the depth of the concept involved is extremely astonishing!

At this point.

The professional experience Su Ming had accumulated until now was completely exhausted.

He took a step forward.

Using Star-Rail Opening and its advantage of ignoring physical collisions.

Su Ming directly broke through the Dimensional Barrier.

Returning to the Material World.

Looking back, because the gate of curses had landed in the Star Nest.

That Hells Nest, which had just been modified into Su Ming's shape, was now attached to the Cosmic Web of reality in a state of dimensional curl.

Its form of existence was exactly the opposite of the Circle of Reason.

The former was dominated by the idealistic.

While the latter must be carried by a conceptual set of celestial bodies!

But...

The two are not one.

Su Ming didn't plan to force the two together.

At the very least, he currently couldn't do something that defied the Laws of the Heavenly Dao.

Seeing this, Pseudo-Hexi complained speechlessly:

"My King, you're being very unreasonable. The Hells Nest is clearly an extra-dimensional space. How can it be recognized as a celestial body by the rules?"

Su Ming spread his hands and said with an innocent expression:

"It's very reasonable. What else is a thing hanging on the Cosmic Web if not a celestial body? It's been stamped and certified by the Stellar Covenant, no deception for young or old, Sister!"

Fine!

As expected of you!

No wonder even Artificial Satellites count...

But...

Is it an illusion?

I feel like the aura on him has become inexplicably more profound and obscure...

Pseudo-Hexi was a bit numb...

Chapter 223: A Flustered A-Zhui! Zhixin's Worry

Starlight fell, and Su Ming returned to the Super God Main World in the blink of an eye.

As soon as he landed, Zhixin asked impatiently:

"King, was the transformation of the Circle of Reason just now caused by your growth?"

Su Ming greeted her and then nodded:

"That's right... By the way, a little suggestion for you: remember to observe your Counterparts in the Dream Bubble more often during your spare time. This will be of great benefit to your understanding of Self."

Yan chuckled, hugged Su Ming's arm, and said:

"We will. Not long after the Circle of Reason transformed, the Queen reminded us to do so..."

"However, our dream Counterparts seem to be projections of our own Minds. Whether it's memories or behavior patterns, they should be copies of us."

"But I always feel like those Counterparts have a... well, a very hard-to-describe sense of incompleteness..."

Tilting her pretty face up, Yan looked at Su Ming expectantly, her crystal-clear eyes full of curiosity.

Su Ming lowered his head and gently rubbed against the cheek of 14-year-old Yan:

"It's not an illusion. The incompleteness you perceive is a lack of Spirituality... Therefore, when entering the dream, you must not only observe in real-time but also enter the game yourself and replace your own Counterparts!"

"This is equivalent to using your own Spirituality to fill the gaps in your Counterparts..."

"The benefit of doing this is that you can personally experience the possibilities based on your own radiation and realize the wonderful realm where all possibilities return to oneself."

"In professional terms, that is Self-awakening, realizing the mental state of [I am who I am]!"

The angel ladies listened to Su Ming's teachings very seriously.

But Su Ming's intimate interaction with Yan.

Left A-Zhui stunned... Are you guys no longer avoiding others?

Then looking at Zhixin... Hiss!—Is this calm, accustomed Zhixin a fake?

Looking back at Sister Yan, A-Zhui couldn't help but twitch the corner of her mouth...

You're almost hanging off the King of Heavenly Principles!

At least be a little reserved!

Noticing A-Zhui's strange gaze, Su Ming gave her a slight smile:

"Oh, A-Zhui is here. When did you arrive?"

"Uh, greetings, King of Heavenly Principles. I just..."

Su Ming waved his hand and teased with a playful look:

"Don't be so formal. You used to call me Little Su Su. Go back to that; I still prefer your previous lively appearance."

Ah, this...

Her face turned red.

Wasn't that when our statuses were equal?

You're a King now; how would I dare to be so bold?

But...

Thinking of the relaxation of her sisters when getting along with the King, A-Zhui also relaxed:

"Alright, King. What's the use of realizing 'I am who I am'?"

This time, Zhixin answered for Su Ming:

"I know! I've had similar questions. According to my calculations..."

"With the elevation of the mental state, the depth and breadth of the Mind's interference with reality will increase simultaneously!"

"More importantly, without reaching this mental state, the possibility of us using Angel Genes as a base to simulate our own [Qi] will be infinitely close to zero!"

Su Ming nodded with a smile, put his arm around Zhixin's waist, and led the way into the Star Palace living room.

As they walked, he continued to explain:

"Not only that, when you have the mental state of 'I am who I am,' you can also use it to associate with the concept of Self and use it as a springboard to explore your own path."

"In addition, the transformation of the mental state can significantly increase one's own mystery level."

"With the mystery level as a foundation, your resistance of Mind and soul will also be greatly improved when studying idealistic rules."

Researching the idealistic is a very dangerous thing.

One wrong move.

Cognitive distortion, mental collapse, and soul pollution could all happen.

As for Su Ming himself.

With the Imaginary Domain, even Cthulhu-esque outer gods are just a collection of unknowns that can be parsed, recognized, and learned.

One man and five women sat down one after another.

Yan and Zhixin were on his left and right, hugging Su Ming's arms and resting their small heads on his shoulders.

Moyi and Leng, sitting on the opposite sofa, huddled together and talked in low voices, letting out bursts of silver-bell-like laughter from time to time. During this time, the two women also looked at Su Ming with eyes full of affection.

Only A-Zhui sat awkwardly in a corner of the sofa, looking at this one and that one, completely unable to figure out why these people were so harmonious...

Wait!—

You guys...

Could it be that you've all taken the oath?

Sister Yan and Zhixin are understandable; after all, they are the current Left and Right Wing Guards and have been entrusted with heavy responsibilities by the Queen to closely guard the majesty of Heavenly Principles.

For that, taking an oath of protection is beyond reproach.
