Rong Nianbing stared at the Elemental God faith in Su Ming's hand. His mind momentarily went blank.
"You... where did you get the Elemental God faith? And, when?"
Even as he asked, Rong Nianbing's own mind was racing.
Was Su Ming proficient in the elements?
Proficient, yet not proficient.
His Martial Soul was Spirit Power. Coupled with his past ability to control the elements, he did have talent in them.
Of course, none of that had yet reached the level of law. At least, when Su Ming was still frequently using borrowed elemental control abilities, he hadn't yet dabbled in the domain of law.
So when exactly had he done it?
And, how had he comprehended it?
The Elemental God was a God King-level status jointly held by the seven Elemental God deities of the God Realm.
Without their approval, how could Su Ming have comprehended it?
Could it be from the legacy he had given?
Rong Nianbing thought of the legacy he had bestowed upon Su Ming, which included two great ultimate techniques that could be considered his life's work.
Could he have been inspired by him?
Thinking this, Rong Nianbing grew somewhat excited.
If so, then he himself was indeed in tune with the Elemental God.
"Senior, the specifics of how and when I comprehended it – I'm not at liberty to disclose."
Su Ming handed the Elemental God faith to him.
Rong Nianbing's gaze condensed as he cautiously received this faith.
When the seven-colored faith fell into his palm, he breathed a sigh of relief.
Almost no repulsion with him!
What did this mean?
He was extremely in tune with this faith.
"Senior, your two ultimate techniques are both applications of the power of the seven elements. Mastering the small authority within the Elemental God faith should not be difficult."
Rong Nianbing nodded. He had at least that much confidence.
Faith power existed within the world, but the perception of different faiths also differed. Generally, if you didn't possess the corresponding status, it was difficult even to sense specific faith fluctuations.
So, without the status, you couldn't collect faith. Without collecting faith, you couldn't self-comprehend the authority.
The seven Elemental Gods controlled the status of the Elemental God and did not leak it, further preventing this authority from being comprehended.
However, Su Ming had circumvented this restriction.
With Su Ming's help, Rong Nianbing would also circumvent this restriction.
"Senior, if you want to attain the Elemental God, you should still inform those seven First-Class Gods," Su Ming reminded. "I hope you can complete the breakthrough as quickly as possible."
Quickly?
Rong Nianbing took a deep breath, his expression serious. He asked, "How quickly?"
"By the God Realm's reckoning, preferably within one day."
Although Rong Nianbing had thought it would be urgent, he hadn't expected it to be this urgent. Upon hearing Su Ming's request, he coughed violently.
"How long?"
"Within one day."
"You want me to break through to God King within one day?"
Rong Nianbing pointed at himself.
"If I were that powerful, I wouldn't have been stuck at this level for so long."
Su Ming reassured him, "Your insights are sufficient, Senior. You've only been held back by the authority. The Elemental God authority is right here in the God Realm, inherently complete and flawless – at the God King level. What you need to do is to unify this authority and condense it into a divine seat."
As for energy, you can initially borrow the power of the seven First-Class Gods.
Rong Nianbing looked troubled.
He wasn't very confident about breakthrough within a day.
"I will assist you as much as I can, Senior. If you trust me, you can send a portion of your divine sense down to the lower plane with me. On Douluo Star, time would be more abundant."
Hearing this, Rong Nianbing visibly relaxed.
Yes, he could go to Douluo Star to comprehend.
One day would turn into a year, making time much more abundant.
"First, we need to come to an agreement with those Elemental Gods."
He didn't rush to send a projection.
For now, the key to breakthrough in a short time was still sufficient energy and faith.
For energy, his own divine power plus the support of the seven First-Class Gods would be temporarily sufficient.
For faith, the bulk would naturally rely on the accumulation of these seven First-Class Gods over the years.
Therefore, convincing the seven First-Class Gods was crucial.
Su Ming didn't object.
In truth, they didn't need to visit them one by one. The moment Su Ming produced the Elemental God faith, the seven elemental deities also felt it.
They immediately gathered together.
Instead of reporting to the God Realm Committee, they each sent a wisp of divine sense to check the situation here.
Their bodies main gathered together to guard against any accident.
Rong Nianbing sensed the approach of the seven divine senses, helped them shield their fluctuations, and led them to the valley.
Seeing Su Ming, the seven First-Class Gods were greatly shocked.
"Su Ming, how are you here?"
In this era, although the sEven First-Class Gods hadn't bestowed divine trials, Su Ming had stirred such great storms on Douluo Star that it was hard for them not to know him.
After the initial shock, they also realized that Su Ming was a spiritual body formed from a wisp of spiritual power.
"Everyone, since you're all here, we won't hide this from you," Su Ming said.
He was very candid, explaining his and Rong Nianbing's intention.
"Condensing the Elemental God divine seat? Within one day?"
The seven First-Class Gods' expressions drastically changed.
These seven deities held a not-low status in the God Realm. They could form the Elemental God Descent Divine Punishment Array, capable of unleashing God King-level combat power. Even the God Realm Committee couldn't directly ignore their opinions.
But the premise for all this was that the Elemental God divine seat was vacant, allowing the seven of them to mobilize the power of that authority through the array.
If there was a true Elemental God controlling the authority, they wouldn't be unable to borrow it, but they would need the other party's permission.
Moreover, the Elemental God would be the superior of the deities corresponding to the seven elements.
No one wanted someone standing above their heads.
The seven First-Class Gods had been free for so many years; they didn't want to be suddenly stepped on.
The seven First-Class Gods' expressions were grim. Before Su Ming could speak, Rong Nianbing took the initiative to begin to explain.
"Everyone, I understand your concerns. My only goal is to breakthrough to God King. My insights are already sufficient; I only lack the breakthrough. I estimate that I won't occupy the Elemental God divine seat for long. At most one year, I will relinquish the seat and leave the God Realm."
The God of Light's expression was unpleasant. "So, we would also have to face an uncertain second-generation Elemental God?"
After speaking, his heart stirred. He looked at Su Ming.
He wasn't planning to pass it to him, was he?
Su Ming noticed the God of Light's little movement. Not just the God of Light, the other six First-Class Gods also secretly glanced at him.
All seven had thought of this possibility.
Su Ming smiled helplessly.
"I am interested in the authority of the Elemental God, but not in the divine seat itself."
"Hmph. Easier said than done," the Fire God snorted.
Su Ming knew that empty promises wouldn't suffice.
He immediately released his pioneering authority, then his forging authority, his fate authority...
"I do not lack authorities, nor do I lack authorities with great potential. I simply haven't had enough time to develop them. The God King-level Elemental God authority is useful to me. As for the divine seat itself, I truly have no intention of inheriting it."
