Feng Wutong bestowed Tang San with an eighth spirit ability, which he named "Nirvana Reincarnation Technique."
Although a million-year spirit ring, like the one from Tianmeng, could grant Huo Yuhao four spirit abilities, Feng Wutong focused on just one thing: nirvana. Hence, she only had one ability.
But for Tang San, this one ability was more than enough.
This spirit ability could be used on himself or others. However, when used on others, it could cause enemies to perish within the nirvana process.
Why would they perish?
Because of the principle of energy conservation. Without the energy transfer from the Blue Silver Emperor, the nirvana process would consume the user's own spirit power, vitality, and mental energy. Once started, the process couldn't be stopped. Even if successful, the user would be left extremely weak. The stronger the person, the more energy nirvana requires.
For Tang San and his companions, this spirit ability was a divine skill that enabled them to continually evolve. But for his enemies, it was a divine punishment that drained their energy and spirit.
Thus, for Tang San and his group, this eighth spirit ability symbolized rebirth through nirvana. But for their enemies, being subjected to this ability was akin to stepping into the cycle of reincarnation: in milder cases, they would lose all their cultivation, while in severe cases, they would die and be wiped out, truly entering the cycle of reincarnation with no hope of returning.
After acquiring his eighth spirit ring, Tang San's ninth spirit ring, the one formed from the Divine Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation, also began to solidify, finally becoming his ninth spirit ring!
In an instant, the surrounding area for thousands of miles was illuminated by celestial phenomena. Natural forces and the vitality of living beings flowed into Tang San's body.
However, these phenomena only lasted for a moment before quietly fading, returning to nature without causing any commotion. None of the powerful beings on Douluo Star noticed.
After all, Tang San had actually absorbed the ninth spirit ring even earlier than the eighth. Any grand phenomena from the process had long since passed, and now it was just about stabilizing the position of the ninth ring.
The ninth spirit ring brought Tang San a single spirit ability, just like the eighth: Creation.
Though it was only one ability, through it, Tang San could develop countless techniques. For example: the Armor of Eternity and Creation or the Sword of Eternity and Genesis. Any ability that the Divine Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation possessed could be derived from this spirit ability. The rest depended on how Tang San would develop "Creation."
"My spirit power has reached level 99!" Tang San felt the surging power within him and clenched his fist. With a slight movement, the air around him distorted, revealing his incredible strength.
To break through level 99, one's spirit power quality, physical strength, and mental energy had to be flawless, without any major weaknesses.
Tang San's body and mental energy had long surpassed his spirit power. Now, thanks to fully absorbing the ninth spirit ring, he had finally reached level 99.
He was now just one step away from the legendary hundredth level.
For most, this final step might seem insurmountable. But for Tang San, it was simply a matter of taking one more step.
At this point, his body was like the vastness of the cosmos, and his soul was as powerful as the will of the stars. All he needed was spirit power to act as the life force connecting it all, and he would reach true transcendence.
However, becoming a god meant being bound by the rules of the Divine Realm.
Without the power to crush the Five Great God-Kings of the Divine Realm, Tang San thought it wise to proceed cautiously. As long as his understanding continued to grow, his cultivation would not stagnate.
What he lacked was just more energy.
Given the time difference between the Divine Realm and Douluo Star, as long as his Blue Silver Emperor (Blue Silver Network, Starry Sky World, etc.) continuously absorbs energy from the vast cosmic void, fragments of dimensions, and space, energy would not be a problem.
Now that he had a solid foundation of power, Tang San could begin executing his long-held plan for the Divine Realm—severing the spatial channel between the Divine Realm and Douluo Star, and using the Starry Sky World to create a new channel under his sole control. This would allow him to draw the celestial energy of the Divine Realm into the Starry Sky World.
The first part of the plan required careful planning. He would need to clear out the divine inheritance sites left on Douluo Star and deal with the native believers at these relics, which could potentially lead to gods descending to the mortal realm.
Even though gods couldn't descend without divine-level power being summoned, there were always loopholes in the rules, and those divine figures couldn't be trusted—including the Goddess of Life, who had once adopted him as her godson.
As for the second part?
It was as he had once explained to Bibi Dong—it might not succeed on the first attempt. There was a chance it would link to other dimensional channels. The Divine Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation could travel across dimensions, but there was one aspect that frustrated Tang San: the Lord of Eternity traveled based on the so-called will of the greater universe, without recording the coordinates of the dimensions it passed through. So, when activated, where they ended up depended entirely on luck. Moreover, this Divine Seal Throne came from a parallel timeline of Douluo, ten thousand years into the future. Even if it had recorded the coordinates, it might not be useful.
After all, the dimensions and stars within the universe are constantly moving, and their positions are never fixed.
Even more so with two parallel timelines—one from ten thousand years in the past, and the other from ten thousand years in the future.
At this moment, Tang San could sense the spatial channel leading to the Divine Realm. But if he were to directly carve a small path along this ascension channel, the Divine Realm would undoubtedly notice.
He needed to create an alternate path to the Divine Realm, one that didn't need to be large. A hole the size of a thumb would be enough to let the celestial energy of the Divine Realm seep into the Starry Sky World.
"Lord of Eternity, speaking of which, you and Austin Griffin don't seem to be from this timeline. You both probably originated from a parallel time, ten thousand years in the future, right?" Tang San suddenly asked. "So, can you sense your counterparts in this timeline?"
The Lord of Eternity thought for a moment, then appeared and slowly shook her head. "I can't sense them... and don't overestimate us creators. I can't sense the entire universe—that's far beyond me. However, I didn't expect that there could be worlds so similar, yet on completely different timelines."
She continued, "That space-time turbulence that swept the Divine Seal Throne of Eternity and Creation, as well as Austin Griffin, into this world, was likely caused by an extremely powerful being or involved some kind of multi-universe space-time storm."
Tang San was surprised. "A multiverse?"
The Lord of Eternity shrugged and gave a playful smile. "That's a term from your memory, isn't it? Who knows, maybe there really are infinite worlds out there."
Tang San narrowed his eyes. "I don't recall giving you permission to access my memory."
"Come on, don't be so distant," the Lord of Eternity teased, suddenly turning coy. "I'm yours now, after all. We're even more inseparable than your little girlfriends, you know."
Tang San: "..."
