The will of the plane could no longer hold back its eagerness.

It had long desired to become a true living entity, to ascend and become the true master of the plane.

And now, that day had finally arrived!

Su Yu, by contrast, remained relatively calm. He began to attune himself to the rune, sensing the corresponding fluctuations of its laws.

At the same time, the immense power of belief stored in this rune ahead of time by Su Yu's true body—faith in the God of Wisdom—was ignited.

As the power of belief ignited, the authority of the God of Wisdom suddenly became incomparably clear.

Su Yu could distinctly feel the changes taking place within it.

"I cannot rely on the power of belief to extract the laws and condense a godhood."

This was a realization Su Yu had gained back when he was in the Origin of the Divine Realm.

At this moment, he no longer intended to condense godhood based on the existing universal laws. Instead, he aimed to comprehend those laws and construct his own set of principles.

"This... this might be what they call the Dao!" Su Yu was surprised that, even in the world of Douluo, he had managed to define something so lofty and profound.

Although the power ceiling of this world was relatively low, the laws it involved were still very much real.

Su Yu continued to perceive the increasingly clear fluctuations of these various laws.

Through his cultivation up to now, Su Yu had become deeply attuned to these laws. In terms of insight and comprehension, he was far ahead of others and had already understood and studied many different laws.

Although it would be inaccurate to say he had fully mastered them, he was at least well-versed in a wide range of them.

Now, however, many of the laws related to the Authority of Wisdom were ones he had never touched before.

Fortunately, as the power of belief burned, Su Yu's thought processes accelerated by dozens—perhaps even hundreds—of times. Under the illusory empowerment of the Wisdom Authority, his ability to comprehend the laws was similarly amplified manyfold.

With this dual enhancement, Su Yu rapidly gained insight into these unfamiliar laws.

At the same time, he focused intently on understanding how the various laws tied to the Authority of Wisdom were interwoven—how they intertwined to form this divine authority.

As Su Yu's perception deepened, the wisdom rune that housed his spiritual form began rapidly improving. Numerous newly grasped laws were sketched into it and then intertwined with his previous understandings.

—Elsewhere—

Outside the Abyss—

Su Yu, locked in battle, began to feel the strain.

Although he had mastery over the power of time, which countered the Holy Rift Abyss Halberd—more precisely, countered the Abyssal Lord wielding it—Su Yu still felt the pressure mounting.

This was because the majority of his consciousness was focused on the spiritual body he had left behind in the Douluo Continent, to comprehend the myriad laws associated with the Authority of Wisdom.

At his side, three figures emerged.

The Blue Silver Emperor Soul Spirit and the Thunder Hell Vine had joined the camp of the Elven Queen and the Spirit Dragon of Fate to fight against the three Flame Sovereigns.

What had been two against three had now become four against three, immediately reducing the pressure.

However, the burden on Su Yu's domain intensified.

That's because whether it was the two Soul Spirits, the Elven Queen, or the Spirit Dragon of Fate, their strength all stemmed from the power of Su Yu's domain.

The Nine-Cycle Reincarnation Grass Soul Spirit was now primarily tasked with sharing the strain of maintaining the domain.

Although the Reincarnation Grass itself was limited in power, it had followed Su Yu faithfully. As his eighth soul ring, it carried many of Su Yu's insights. After Su Yu had merged his three soul rings, those insights were further integrated.

Now, the nine sets of three-in-one soul rings had begun the process of merging, gradually progressing toward a singular unified soul ring.

This was Su Yu's final step.

Under these conditions, the Reincarnation Grass instinctively possessed the ability to channel Su Yu's domain. With Su Yu granting it the authority, it could amplify the four combatants with the domain's power.

At the same time, the Reincarnation Grass Soul Spirit also helped the domain absorb ambient energy from the void to replenish its consumption.

With its assistance, Su Yu no longer needed to divert his focus to maintain the domain and could dedicate more of his energy to the spiritual body in the Douluo Continent—comprehending the laws.

As for the current pressure he was facing from the Abyssal Lord, he could still hold his ground.

—Douluo Continent, Extreme North—

With more of his energy devoted to understanding the laws, Su Yu's Wisdom Rune shone even more brightly.

At that moment, it seemed to undergo a kind of metamorphosis, resonating in perfect harmony with the illusory Authority of Wisdom above his head.

In this resonance, Su Yu's insights became even more thorough and vivid.

He swiftly absorbed these realizations, transforming them into a series of intricate patterns etched within the Wisdom Rune.

At the same time, Su Yu began to sketch out additional runes beyond the Wisdom Rune.

These new runes represented the many individual laws that had surfaced under the pull of the Wisdom Authority. Now, he was deconstructing them one by one to deepen his understanding.

Each of these insights transformed into a distinct rune, orbiting the central Wisdom Rune.

Su Yu continued to analyze how these various laws intertwined, then arranged his corresponding runes in ways that mirrored this structure, making the Wisdom Rune increasingly complex and enriched.

Thus was born a multi-rune system of wisdom.

—Time passed—

Fifteen minutes later, the Wisdom Rune radiated a dazzling brilliance—a light that seemed to shine across the entire continent.

Though not blinding, the light had astonishing penetration. A beam of it seemed to appear in the minds of every soul master on the Douluo Continent.

Their thought processes suddenly quickened, and bottlenecks in their cultivation that had long confounded them were abruptly exposed, as if flaws in the system had been laid bare.

Their understanding of techniques, their exploration of martial souls—all of it entered a period of explosive growth.

At the same time, a voice echoed in their minds:

"From this day forth, I am the God of Wisdom!"

Su Yu!

It was Su Yu!

It was His Excellency Blue Spirit!

Across the entire continent, there was only one voice in the hearts of thousands of soul masters.

They were overwhelmed with excitement. They knew—Su Yu had ascended to godhood. They also understood that the breakthroughs they had just experienced were a reflection of Su Yu's own transformation.

They didn't know whether faith in other gods would bring blessings or benefits, but belief in Su Yu—the God of Wisdom—had already yielded tangible rewards!

As time passed, all soul masters were stunned to realize that their newfound clarity wasn't fleeting—it felt permanent, as though their minds had truly become sharper.

Not only had they suddenly broken through their current bottlenecks or comprehended difficult theories...

But going forward, they began to plan their future cultivation paths step by step, guided by their own insights and enlightenment.

In that moment, every soul master felt boundless gratitude toward Su Yu.

Vast waves of belief converged from every corner of the continent, surging toward Su Yu.

And Su Yu burned this immense faith power.

"Wisdom belongs to all living beings!" Su Yu's voice once again echoed in the minds of every lifeform on the Douluo Star.

At that moment, the illusory Authority of Wisdom hovering above his head—born of burning faith—began to expand rapidly.

The boundless power of belief burned under Su Yu's control and merged into that ethereal authority.

The Wisdom Rune shone in resonance with it, drawing numerous laws toward itself.

Using the rune as a central conduit, Su Yu manipulated many of the Douluo Star's laws, constructing them anew. With the illusory Authority of Wisdom as the foundation, he gradually began filling it with the planet's laws.

Rumble—!

Above the Douluo Continent, endless tribulation lightning was born in the sky.

The alteration of laws had triggered an instinctive response from the source of the Douluo Star—thunder tribulation.

Yet, this was not a destructive punishment. Rather, it seemed to express joy.

The thunderclouds gathered and roared, but no devastating bolts were born. Instead, they stretched across the entire Douluo Star, merging with the perfected Authority of Wisdom forged by Su Yu.

When the thunderclouds dispersed, the Authority of Wisdom spread with them, infusing itself into every corner of the Douluo Star.

Having completed this, the will of the plane began its transformation.

Above the Douluo Continent, a grand and towering consciousness emerged. At first, it had no form, no shape—it didn't even truly exist. Yet everyone could clearly feel its presence.

Then, it began to take form.

Its will and thoughts had long existed. Now, under the radiance of the Wisdom Authority, that will solidified into being—it had gained a body.

At that moment, it became a true living entity.

And as it became a real lifeform, it also inherited the full authority of the Douluo Plane's Plane Master.

The two beings who had previously attempted to possess it were now imprisoned within the Plane Will's conscious space. Their wills had sunk into the origin, lost and sealed away.

Perhaps because he was aware of their identities, even after becoming the Plane Master, the will of the plane chose not to destroy them outright.

Su Yu, meanwhile, paid no attention to how the will dealt with Tang Hao and his wife. At this moment, he had already begun his own transformation.

The Wisdom Rune was evolving—becoming what he now called his "Dao."

Dao is everywhere. Dao resides in the heart.

Su Yu condensed his understanding into a singular rune, one that now rivaled the authority of divinity itself and stood equal to any law.

The Wisdom Rune had already detached itself from conventional dimensional bounds. Its essence transcended in an instant.

At this moment, Su Yu felt that this rune existed at a level even higher than the essence of his own life.

Even though he had already completed his life's metamorphosis—even though he had broken through the dimensional threshold—

This feeling remained true.

With the aid of the Wisdom Rune—now effectively the supporting core of his divine seat—Su Yu's life structure began to fundamentally change.

Time surrounded him. Space enveloped him.

His entire body underwent earth-shattering transformation, as though he were witnessing the birth of heaven and earth within himself. His body seemed to split into countless parts while simultaneously opening a vast inner world—merging with multidimensional space in a uniquely structured form.

In that instant, the meridians within his body began to reshape.

Su Yu guided his soul power, time, and space energies to construct a four-dimensional body.

Meanwhile, his three soul cores also began to shift. Within separate dimensions, they started to take the form of the superposition state that Su Yu had long envisioned.

This time, the superposition was his new norm.

But Su Yu's evolution didn't end there.

He swung the God-Slaying Sword forcefully, sending out a blade of energy. This sword qi merged with the power of multiple dimensions. Even when the Holy Rift Abyss Halberd attempted to slice it apart, it could only sever one dimensional layer. The countless other layers of sword qi quickly synchronized and regenerated, allowing the attack to press on toward the Abyssal Lord.

The Abyssal Lord's expression shifted drastically.

He could feel Su Yu's aura changing.

"Damn it!" he cursed, panic flashing across his face.

Up until now, Su Yu had been evenly matched with him only because the Holy Rift Abyss Halberd's power was being suppressed. It made him forget one crucial detail—Su Yu hadn't even broken through yet!

Before the battle began, he had made thorough preparations. Armed with the Holy Rift Abyss Halberd, he believed his strength approached that of a God King. Su Yu, at best, was a second-tier god. No matter how much potential he unleashed, he could only reach the level of a first-tier god. There was no way he should have been able to stand against him—unless he achieved a divine breakthrough.

But against all expectations, Su Yu had held his own without even ascending.

Now, as Su Yu's aura underwent a qualitative transformation, the Abyssal Lord felt the urge to retreat.

He understood clearly: if Su Yu completed his transformation, he would have no chance of winning.

The internal metamorphosis was translating into a significant surge in Su Yu's power.

His soul power began to evolve—transforming into divine power.

Although his spiritual power had long since ascended into divine sense, it now received further feedback through the transformation of his physical body, rising even higher.

This evolution of power caused an undeniable leap in his overall strength.

First, the laws he could now manipulate grew in both number and potency. The ease with which he could call upon them also increased, as did the thoroughness with which he could invoke their full effects.

Around him, runes manifested in the air, each one harnessing a different kind of energy—used to suppress the trio of the Fiery Sovereign and his allies.

The Elven Queen: ???

We've been fighting for so long, and Su Yu was only just now breaking through? Yet with these runes alone, he's already suppressed all three of them?

Su Yu paid their bewilderment no mind.

Letting them witness and sense god-tier power in advance—

Wasn't that a fortune in itself?

Since they were allies, Su Yu was not one to let them suffer unfairly.

That was simply the kind of person he was—a man of principle.

It was just that… he was too overwhelming, too defiant of the natural order. Most of the time, all his allies needed to do was make a decision—resolve themselves for the challenge ahead—and before the crisis even arrived, Su Yu would break through some limit and face the problem alone, solving everything by himself.

After subduing the trio of the Fiery Sovereign, Su Yu turned his focus toward the Abyssal Plane, which was under the Abyssal Lord's control and rapidly approaching a dimensional rift.

His domain expanded at incredible speed.

Having ascended to godhood and obtained the Seat of Wisdom, Su Yu's domain had undergone a fundamental evolution—

In a single instant, the entire Abyss was enveloped.

Spatial energy shimmered as Su Yu, along with his massive domain, flickered through dimensional space.

The Abyss was forcefully dragged ever closer to the Douluo Continent.

"Damn it!" the Abyssal Lord felt a wave of despair crash over him.

He had planned for so long, prepared every step, even run countless simulations. And yet, in the actual confrontation…

It was completely one-sided!

His Holy Rift Abyss Halberd couldn't even harm Su Yu. And now, with Su Yu's breakthrough, his raw power surpassed even the true form of the Abyssal Lord—despite the latter wielding a supreme artifact. There was no longer any way to engage him head-on.

In this moment, the Abyssal Lord was filled with nothing but regret and hopelessness.

Why?

Even now, he couldn't understand—how had Su Yu cultivated like this?

Across countless years, across the entire Abyss, he had never heard of a being like Su Yu.

He knew of many cultivation systems across myriad planes. He had studied divine systems from various god realms.

But he had never seen anything so irrational… so utterly outside the realm of logic.

While dragging the Abyssal Plane closer to the Douluo Continent, Su Yu simultaneously manipulated his domain to absorb the energy of the Abyss.

This surge of energy made his breakthrough progress even more smoothly.

That's right—he hadn't even fully broken through yet.

He was still mid-transformation.

On the Douluo Continent, Su Yu's Wisdom Rune traversed dimensional space and remerged with his true body. Yet, the spiritual projection he had left behind remained undissolved.

Suddenly, another surge of lawful resonance swept across the entire Douluo Star.

A new, illusory Authority of Life and Death began to condense above Su Yu's head.
