Chapter 3471 - A Bold Speculation

"Are you sure you felt like things were under your control?" the World Cleansing Divine Water asked.

"Yes." Duan Ling Tian nodded.

Then, the World Cleansing Divine Water said, "Alright. Try to control the space in your surroundings now, and I'll have a look. If it's true that you managed to slightly grasp the Mastery Dao, your future will be smooth-sailing even after you attain godhood."

A hint of anticipation could be heard in the World Cleansing Divine Water's voice as well when it spoke.

Duan Ling Tian closed his eyes and dismissed all unnecessary thoughts from his head. The sword rays formed by his Celestial Origin Energy that had been boosted by the law of space gathered and spun like a miniature tornado around him soon after. When he suddenly opened his eyes, the small tornado vanished. He punched the air in front of him before the air began to twist and ripple as though they were going to tear at any moment.

Swoosh!

Duan Ling Tian pulled his fist back and unclenched his hand. Just like that, the air stopped distorting and rippling, returning to normal. Following that, he spread his arms like a condor spreading its wings. The air began to ripple and distort around him before he suddenly vanished from sight. When the space stopped distorting, he appeared again.

"What do you think?" Duan Ling Tian asked the World Cleansing Divine Water.

After mobilizing his Celestial Origin Energy and his law of space, he had gone with his gut feeling, based on the strange feeling of control he had over the space around him. At that time, he had felt as though he had become one with the space around him. With just a thought, he could control the space around him as though he was the master of the space.

After Duan Ling Tian's voice fell, the space above his head began to distort and ripple before a miniature tiger suddenly appeared and fell into his hands. As soon as he closed his hand around it, it disappeared immediately.

"It's truly the Mastery Dao!" the World Cleansing Divine Water exclaimed.

Duan Ling Tian asked, slightly stunned, "Sister Water, you'¦ you seem to be quite excited about this?"

"Indeed. I even lost my composure for a moment," the World Cleansing Divine Water that had regained its calm replied, "Not only have you begun to grasp the Mastery Dao, but you're already in the preliminary stage of comprehending and creating it. In fact, your Mastery Dao is comparable to your Space Sword Dao; your Space Sword Dao hasn't improved much lately'¦"

The World Cleansing Divine Water had always kept on Duan Ling Tian's progress even before he came to the Heavenly Palace of the Primeval Heaven. Therefore, she knew Duan Ling Tian's Space Sword Dao had only improved slightly.

Meanwhile, Duan Ling Tian was still shocked by the World Cleansing Divine Water's words. He could not believe his Mastery Dao was on par with this Space Sword Dao. After all, he had managed to progress so smoothly with Space Sword Dao because of his master and the solid foundation he had built when he was in the mundane realm. How could he not feel shocked when he heard that his Mastery Dao was already at the same level as his Space Sword Dao?

"In fact, it's the same if one becomes a supreme powerhouse through mastering one of the Four Supreme Laws or evolving one of the Five Divine Elements to its final form. The important thing is the Dao. For example, after completely mastering one of the Four Supreme Laws and fusing all its profundities, it would give birth to a Dao separate from the Weapon Dao. It could be the Devouring Dao, the Limitless Dao, or the Mastery Dao. It's the same once you've evolved one of the Five Divine Elements to its final form. To become a supreme powerhouse, one must completely master one of the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth. After mastering it, the Supreme Divine Tribulation would descend from the heavens. If you're able to withstand the tribulation, after it's over, you'll be transformed into a supreme powerhouse.

Duan Ling Tian gained a deeper understanding of the supreme powerhouses after listening to the World Cleansing Divine Water's explanation. Previously, he only knew possessing one of the Five Divine Elements or comprehending one of the Four Supreme Laws would help one become a supreme powerhouse. It was only after he met Feng Qing Yang that learned it was also possible to become a supreme powerhouse by creating and mastering a Dao. After listening to the World Cleansing Divine Water's words, he finally realized whether it was the Five Divine Elements or the Four Supreme Laws, all of them led to the Daos.

"How did you manage to create a Mastery Dao?" the World Cleansing Divine Water asked. It said, "Even if you have the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity to help you comprehend the law of space, until you've completely fused all the profundities, you shouldn't have been able to create a Mastery Dao, a Limitless Dao, or a Devouring Dao."

"I'm not sure as well. However, I'm quite sure it has something to do with the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity." Even Duan Ling Tian did not know why he was so sure the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity had something to do with his creation of the Mastery Dao.

"Under normal circumstances, this should be impossible," the World Cleansing Divine Water said, perplexed, "From what I know, even the Supreme Powerhouse Divinity could not help experts, who have mastered a Dao and attained godhood, to create another Dao if they had yet to completely fuse all the profundities from the laws they comprehended. However, you actually managed to create a Mastery Dao before fusing all your profundities and becoming a god. Unless'¦" It trailed off suddenly. After a moment, she said hesitantly, "Unless'¦"

Duan Ling Tian interjected, finishing the World Cleansing Divine Water's words, "Unless my Supreme Powerhouse Divinity belongs to a supreme powerhouse who has comprehended three kinds of Daos'¦"

"Yes," the World Cleansing Divine Water raised its voice as it solemnly said, "However, that's impossible. From what I know, even supreme powerhouses who have comprehended two Daos are rare. These supreme powerhouses can even create Realms of Gods. As for those who have created three Daos, you can only imagine how rare they are. Apart from being able to create Realms of Gods, they can easily destroy a Realm of Gods as well'¦"

Duan Ling Tian knew from before that only a specific number of Realms of Gods could exist at the same time. To build another Realm of God, one of the existing Realms of Gods had to be destroyed to maintain the number. The remnant of the Realm of Gods that he encountered in the past was one that had been destroyed by a supreme powerhouse.

Then, the World Cleansing Divine Water asked, "Do you really think such an existence would die, leaving his or her Supreme Powerhouse Divinity behind?"

"No." Duan Ling Tian shook his head. He finally realized why the World Cleansing Divine Water was skeptical earlier. As it turned out, it was incredibly rare for a supreme powerhouse to create and master three Daos at the same time.

"Nevertheless, this is also the only explanation for your creation of the Mastery Dao," the World Cleansing Divine Water said. Inwardly, it was still perplexed, trying to figure out how a rare existence, such as a supreme powerhouse who had mastered three Daos, died.

"Are there any supreme powerhouses who created and mastered all four Daos? If there are, then it's possible that the owner of my Supreme Powerhouse Divinity was killed by a powerhouse who has mastered four Daos!"

"A supreme powerhouse who mastered four Daos?" The World Cleansing Divine Water was briefly stunned by this question. Then, it said confidently, "Based on what I know, there hasn't been a supreme powerhouse who has mastered all four Daos. Needless to say, mastering four Daos is the dream of all those who have already mastered three Daos. There are even rumors about how one would be able to rise above heaven and earth after mastering four Daos. It's said these supreme powerhouses could even abolish the rule of having a fixed number of Realms of Gods. At that time, there might even be tens or hundreds of Realms of Gods

Duan Ling Tian inhaled sharply when he thought about tens of hundreds of Realms of Gods. If that happened, would the gods not rule over the Devata Realms? At that time, even Celestial Emperors would be as common as strays.

Duan Ling Tian spoke to the World Cleansing Divine Water the entire night, talking about the Four Daos of Heaven and Earth before drifting to other topics. He only put the conversation on hold when he received a message from Su Li just as the fourth round of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses was about to commence. Although he still had many questions for the World Cleansing Divine Water, he could only sever the connection of his Little World to the outside world.

Duan Ling Tian saw Su Li who had been waiting for him as soon as he emerged from the wooden house.

"Let's go."

After greeting Su Li, the duo made their way to the venue of the Devata Realms' Battle of the Geniuses. After all, the fourth round was about to start soon!
