After retrieving the Blue Silver Emperor and his projection from Xiao Hai City, Tang San stretched lazily and slowly rose to his feet, thinking to himself, "Soul Douluo, level 82. Without the Throne of Eternal Creation, his strength is comparable to an average level 96 assault-type fighter. As for his martial soul, it should be something passed down through the Xu royal family, possibly linked to the Sun or Moon..."
"But he also carries a trace of dragon aura. Perhaps he possesses the Purple Sovereign Heaven-Destroying Dragon Martial Soul."
Liu Ziqiang hadn't mentioned this.
Though Liu believed that the blame for the events in Xiao Hai City lay with their side, the Sun Moon Empire, his admiration for Emperor Xu Huang bordered on fanaticism.
Details about Xu Huang, such as his martial soul, soul power level, and soul techniques, were highly classified. Liu Ziqiang wouldn't reveal them.
Of course, it's also possible he himself didn't know Xu Huang's exact strength, or whether he possessed twin martial souls.
Still, none of this mattered. Through his projection, Tang San had already confirmed the basics of Xu Huang's abilities and, more importantly, gained a portion of the creative force from Xu Huang's sword strike.
The creative power contained within the Sword of Eternity and Creation was no different from the creative attribute energy Tang San had developed through adding spirit rings and refining his cultivation.
However, Tang San was still exploring how to properly use the "creation" attribute. Now, he had a practical example: gathering the energy of creation into a sword light containing the power of Genesis, capable of unleashing a world-shattering energy blast. This gave Tang San valuable insight.
After all, his Blue Silver Emperor could be transformed into the Blue Silver Emperor Spear. If he could infuse it with the creative energy that contained Genesis power, the resulting strength would far surpass the ordinary, perhaps even rivaling that of the main gods in the Divine Realm.
Relying on the Heaven's Way within the starry world of the gem atop the Blue Silver Emperor, Tang San's consciousness and mind processed the structure of Genesis power. Even with his mind functioning at over 3.65 million times its usual speed, it took him three full hours to analyze the energy composition of Genesis power.
Simply put, the energy of creation must be arranged in a form similar to a Möbius strip, then stabilized using the spatial attribute.
When wielding it, whether through slashing or throwing, one would release the spatial hold on the creation energy at the critical moment, causing it to erupt in a manner similar to a supernova.
It sounds simple...
But in practice, it's exceedingly complex. Just arranging the creation attribute energy into an infinite loop requires extremely precise mental control.
It's a complicated process...
The saying "the highest form of simplicity" refers to simplifying complexity. Every action that seems easy, convenient, and effortless hides layers of structure, analysis, and explanation that are far from simple.
This is much like the soul-guided devices. They are easy to use—just infuse soul power, and even ordinary people can operate most household soul devices with a button press or handle turn. But what powers these devices isn't the simplicity of those actions; it's the intricately designed energy circuits within.
With Tang San's current level of strength, trying to replicate Xu Huang's strike with the Sword of Eternity and Creation would take him around seven seconds to prepare without relying on the computational power of Heaven's Way.
Using Heaven's Way, I can cast instantly.
Xu Huang, however, can wield that power effortlessly because the Throne of Eternal Creation has pre-inscribed divine energy circuits. He doesn't need to think about how to arrange or control the creative energy—it's all done for him. With just a swing of the sword, he can unleash that power.
That's the power of a divine weapon—and not just any, but a super divine weapon.
Envious... but for me, gaining true mastery over this power is the real key, Tang San thought.
As he stepped out of his meditation chamber, Gu Yuena approached him and said, "Earlier, from the direction of Xiao Hai City, I saw a nine-colored sword light shoot up, even passing over our Soul Sea Fortress. That energy... I'm sure of it—it was creative power. The quality wasn't higher than yours, but the quantity far exceeded it!"
"I know," Tang San replied. "That was the result of a projection of mine, through the Blue Silver Emperor left in Xiao Hai City, probing Xu Huang. He sliced the entire city in half with a single sword stroke." He then explained the existence of the Throne of Eternal Creation. "It's the seat of a God of Creation, a super divine weapon from another world."
"A God of Creation from another world?" Gu Yuena exclaimed in shock, then grew puzzled. "That makes sense. The Gods of Creation from our Divine Realm have all long since perished. There's no way they left behind a divine weapon... but how do you know this? Did that guy just tell you, or... is this something you remember, but you've found a convenient excuse to reveal it?"
Though she asked, Gu Yuena's instincts leaned toward the latter.
After all, she knew Tang San came from another world.
"That's not important," Tang San said, changing the subject as he summoned the Haotian Hammer. It transformed into Nine Heavens, a small figure perched on his shoulder. The seven heads of the hammer silently howled toward Xiao Hai City.
"That creature behaved the same way before... could it be connected to the Throne of Eternal Creation? And that name, wow, it's absurdly long," Gu Yuena remarked, examining Nine Heavens. Despite its small, palm-sized appearance being somewhat adorable, the pure destruction aura it radiated made her wary of touching it. Its aura of destruction was even purer than her own mastery of the destruction attribute.
The very essence of its existence seemed to be annihilation.
"It shares a bond with the throne's master," Tang San explained, his words steeped in philosophy. "Creation exists because of destruction, just as destruction holds value because of creation."
His words left Gu Yuena stunned. Even Nine Heavens seemed momentarily dazed by the thought, as if the concept had never occurred to it.
If all realms in the universe were destroyed and incorporated into its domain, what would it do next?
However, Nine Heavens' seven heads, while fragments of Austin Griffin's consciousness, currently functioned independently. It didn't dwell on such thoughts for long and simply continued its silent roars toward the Throne of Eternal Creation.
For Nine Heavens, the mere sight of that throne was infuriating enough.
It didn't care about distant future problems; its focus was on the present. That cursed God of Creation's throne had to be destroyed. Just sensing its presence filled Nine Heavens with disgust—an overwhelming, nauseating revulsion.
As for the one chosen by the God of Creation? If it were Tang San, Nine Heavens could tolerate it. It would hold back, coexist, and manage, as there wouldn't be much of an issue. But since someone else had been chosen, and that person was an enemy of Tang San, it couldn't have worked out better.
When the time came, they would join forces to utterly annihilate the Throne of Eternal Creation, ensuring it could never be restored again.
