Chapter 284: Handling Things One by One

The enhancement of Sea God's divine power to Su Wen's body and its affinity with the Power of Faith progressed quickly, unlike the previous three days of body tempering.

However, just two and a half hours later, the Sea God's divine power within Su Wen began to dissipate.

Su Wen closed his eyes to sense; at this moment, he felt that the endless faith surrounding him was no longer an ethereal sensation but a tangible existence that could be touched like the heaven and earth energy.

He tried to capture the faith with Spiritual Power, then condense and compress it.

Unfortunately, condensing the Power of Faith is not so simple, but Su Wen was undeterred, continuously attempting to control the faith.

After becoming familiar with the texture of faith, Su Wen integrated his previous insights from converting faith into Power of Faith and then condensing divine power from the Sea God Holly Pillar into this process.

The faith was drawn by his Spiritual Power and gathered into an energy.

Su Wen frowned.

"This isn't Power of Faith; it's simply faith wrapped around my Spiritual Power."

Why couldn't he successfully condense the Power of Faith?

"My faith seems to lack the cohesion needed to directly condense into Power of Faith; instead, it needs a medium like Spiritual Power to gather it."

However, Su Wen confirmed that the characteristics of integrating faith into Spiritual Power were comparable to those of Power of Faith.

He then tried other approaches.

"It can also be integrated into Soul Power."

He also attempted to integrate it into heaven and earth energy, but unfortunately, this experiment failed.

However, being able to integrate into Soul Power and Spiritual Power had already given Su Wen great inspiration.

"With the characteristics of Power of Faith, my Soul Power and Spiritual Power seem to have the potential for deeper development."

Power of Faith is a force that only deities can access; it might also be the source of the many methods that deities possess, far exceeding what a Spirit Master Realm can achieve.

Even a ninety-ninth-level Transcendent Douluo cannot alter a Spirit Master's Martial Spirit, but deities can do so, and Power of Faith might be the key.

After completing the third trial and gaining the so-called affinity with Power of Faith, the fourth trial's content was announced.

At the same time, the content of the fourth trial also solved the previous problem.

"God-level Nine Trials Fourth Trial: Let the brilliance of knowledge spread across the entire Douluo Planet, establish a divine name. Reward Power of Faith application skills."

Aside from the God Bestowed Spirit Ring granted by the Sea God in the first trial, the subsequent assessments in the God-level Nine Trials had not provided Su Wen with any substantial rewards, such as an increase in Soul Power level, additional God Bestowed Spirit Rings, or an extension of Spirit Ring age.

However, each reward was indispensable to Su Wen.

He had grown accustomed to this.

The purpose of the God-level Nine Trials was now clear: to guide him on the correct path to becoming a deity.

Previously, he had been trying to condense Power of Faith, but had only managed to integrate faith into Spiritual Power or Soul Power. Perhaps once he condenses the Power of Vitality, he could also incorporate faith.

No matter how hard Su Wen tried, he could not directly condense faith into Power of Faith.

Now, with the announcement of the fourth trial's content, Su Wen understood the answer: his faith lacked cohesion and did not have a target for identification.

It can be said that the name Master Wen has already echoed throughout the Douluo Continent, but it does not precisely represent faith; the Spirit Masters in the Spirit Master World only see Su Wen as someone who has contributed to their world. He is Master Wen, a reformer, and a leader of a new era.

However, there is no clear faith associated with the level of a deity.

"My divine name was actually determined a long time ago." This was a decision Su Wen made when he was a Spirit Elder and the path he chose.

"If the assessment involves spreading faith across the Douluo Planet first and then establishing a divine name, then I need not be in a hurry."

Yet, the fourth trial requires spreading faith to the entire Douluo Planet, and Su Wen feels that future assessments will only become more difficult.

The current Sea God is the original Sea God, a formidable figure in his own right, having achieved the top-tier 1st Class God Position and possessing the quasi-Ultra Divine Tool level Sea God Trident, along with the self-created Sea God Thirteen Styles of Rule. His power is immense.

His vision is so high, and naturally, his expectations for Su Wen are also high.

Given Su Wen's current foundation and talent, the Sea God would at least want him to achieve the 1st Class God Position. With his own experience and background, the Sea God would also attempt to guide Su Wen on his own promotion path. After accumulating some time in the Divine Realm, becoming a God King is not out of the question.

Of course, such an investment would only create a deity with a self-created God Position of the same level.

It's not that the Sea God is being exceptionally kind, but that Su Wen has shown the Sea God hope for his advancement.

"Xiaowen, this time I could get the Stone God's assessment, and I have to thank you for that," Dugu Bo said.

Although rationality tells him that the special Torso bone in the assessment has a very low chance of connecting with the other five Spirit Bones to achieve Spirit Bone Armor, Dugu Bo still harbors a small desire in his heart.

He wouldn't casually choose four Spirit Bones to pass the assessment. He planned to find the best Spirit Bones possible, ones that could positively impact his cultivation.

With four Spirit Bones, his Soul Power should be sufficient to break through several more levels. With the help of the Torso bone and possible Spirit Bone Armor, he might even make further breakthroughs.

Dugu Bo was well aware of this snowball effect model. Su Wen's early cultivation was largely conducted this way. After establishing the Wisdom Palace, the leap level absorption of a Spirit Ring system prevalent in the Spirit Master World is also a classic example of the snowball effect.

"Actually, it's also because Grandpa Dugu, you are suited to be a deity here. Otherwise, Stone God wouldn't have given you such a high-level assessment."

It's not that being strong necessarily guarantees a good assessment.

Fighting Heaven Douluo received a black-level assessment from the Sea God because of War God's favor and his own immense experiences.

Otherwise, an already established Titled Douluo, even if they are a Super Douluo, would not receive such a high-level assessment from the Sea God.

In fact, they might not be given an assessment at all.

Assessments are essentially about cultivation, focusing on nurturing the new generation rather than improving the already powerful older generation.

Su Wen was actually surprised that the Stone God gave Dugu Bo a purple-level assessment while Dugu Yan received only a yellow-level assessment.

"I also found the place of inheritance of the Sea God. If Sister Yan goes there for an assessment, she should be able to obtain more," Su Wen said.

Considering the compensation Yu Tianheng provided, Su Wen did not hold any grudge against Yu Xiaogang and naturally did not let it affect Dugu Yan.

"Really?" Dugu Yan asked, surprised.

She did not expect Su Wen to have so much information about the deities' assessment locations.

"Before I go to Sea God Island next time, I'll notify Sister Yan and bring you along."

"Okay!"

After Su Wen and Dugu Bo and Dugu Yan separated, Ning Rongrong asked curiously, "Brother Xiaowen, where are we going next?"

"To look for other deity assessments," Su Wen replied with a smile.

He took out two items: one was the token given to him by the God of Void, and the other was a black box, which Yu Tianheng had previously handed to him.

Su Wen put away the token from the God of Void, he could only visit the Space God a little later.

It wasn't that he looked down on the Space God; it was just that he had a premonition that the Space God's assessment might be very special. It would be best to handle all the trivial matters before seeking it out.
