Perhaps he would delve into it in the future, but definitely not now.
Returning to his initial research into the fundamental elements, Simon discovered that the Profound Mystery of Water Element was equally special and likewise contained an aspect of "spatial" properties.
In the original work, when Linley created the divine planes after becoming a Chief Sovereign, he mentioned that perfectly fusing Water Body Technique, Mist Illusion, and Sharpness of Ice could form an almost perfect space.
Although Water Element was not mentioned on the surface, one should not forget that every major Water Element Profound Mystery contained traces of Water Element.
This Water Element also referred to Water Element Essence, not merely the Profound Mystery of Water Element.
Simon suddenly felt enlightened.
He had found the opportunity to perfectly fuse the Profound Mystery of Wind Element and the Profound Mystery of Water Element.
That opportunity was the "spatial" property they both possessed!
The Coiling Dragon World truly did not allow direct comprehension of the Laws of Space, but that did not mean the Laws of Space did not exist.
After all, if the Laws of Space did not exist, the Teleportation Formations scattered throughout the various planes could not possibly function.
In truth, Hongmeng had locked away the Laws of Space using something akin to "permissions."
You could not comprehend them directly, but you could understand their existence and observe them indirectly.
It was like how people in a three-dimensional world could not imagine a specific four-dimensional world, yet still knew that one existed.
Simon was in a similar state now. He could not comprehend the Laws of Space, but he could be certain they existed. To a certain extent, he could understand them and indirectly observe them through wind elements.
This was Simon's greatest advantage as a transmigrator!
The natives of the Coiling Dragon World had been confined within this world from the moment they were born, so they naturally lacked any awareness of exploring the Laws of Space and Time.
Naturally, they would not deliberately seek out these bug-like "spatial properties" as Simon did.
Furthermore, Simon guessed that the secret behind Utrecht breaking the Four Divine Beasts' combined Innate Divine Ability was also related to those elusive "spatial" properties.
He had most likely started with the Laws of Destruction and, by sheer coincidence, glimpsed that trace of "spatial" properties contained within them. He had thus cleverly bypassed the differences in souls and cracked the secret of the Four Divine Beasts' combined Innate Divine Ability.
That was also because Utrecht had cultivated the Laws of Destruction to the Paragon level, giving him the qualifications to accomplish this.
Perhaps even Utrecht, having cracked this secret, had been utterly baffled by it, but that did not stop him from using it.
Now, Simon had also touched upon this mysterious "spatial" property.
Unlike Utrecht's accidental discovery, Simon was certain that this was the "Laws of Space" of the Main Universe.
Though it was only the most superficial outer layer, Simon had successfully used this property to perfectly fuse the Profound Mystery of Wind Element and the Profound Mystery of Water Element.
Moreover, because he had comprehended this property, Simon's Water Element Divine Clone had also managed in a short time to make Water Body Technique, Mist Illusion, and Sharpness of Ice fit together.
Chapter 56: Being Honest with Each Other
With the guidance of this property, the difficulty of Simon's subsequent path of fusing Profound Mysteries plummeted.
For now, Simon still intended for his Water Element to focus on defense. In other words, he would have his Water Element Divine Clone fully fuse the defense-related Profound Mystery of Water Element, Mist Illusion, and Profound Mystery of Roundness and Softness, ensuring that his defenses could hold firm.
Of these three Profound Mysteries, the Profound Mystery of Water Element and Mist Illusion had already been successfully fused.
As for Profound Mystery of Roundness and Softness, it had respectively fused with the Profound Mystery of Water Element and Mist Illusion up to their final bottlenecks. Simon felt that it would not be long before he broke through both bottlenecks, at which point he could fuse all three Profound Mysteries as a whole.
At that time, Simon's physical and soul defenses would reach a temporary peak. Afterward, he would gradually incorporate Sharpness of Ice, Water Ripple, and Water Body Technique.
Simon's plan was to have Water Element primarily follow a dual-defense path, Wind Element follow an offensive path, and Heterogeneous Laws follow a domain-control path. That would maximize his strength.
When he opened his eyes, Simon saw Fanny staring at him.
"Are there flowers on my face, Fanny? You're so absorbed in looking at me."
Simon spoke gently.
This beautiful, super-rich third-generation heiress of Hell could have safely returned to her clan under the escort of a Seven-Star Fiend, yet she had chosen to adventure with him instead.
How could Simon fail to understand the weight of those feelings?
"I'm looking at my Simon, the Simon who belongs only to me."
Fanny smiled sweetly.
Hearing that, Simon could not help pulling Fanny into his arms and kissing her tenderly.
Fanny obediently responded to Simon as well.
A long while later.
Several tens of thousands of words omitted here...
Fanny, having tidied up her appearance, looked at Simon and said,
"You're so happy today. I could see the corners of your mouth turning up even while you were cultivating."
"Of course I'm happy. I made a major breakthrough in this cultivation session, Fanny. From now on, whether it's a Seven-Star Fiend or an Asura, neither will be able to hurt you while I'm around."
"I, Simon, swear it!"
Simon's calm voice was filled with determination.
"Mm, I believe you, Simon."
Fanny's soft voice rang out, carrying boundless trust.
"By the way, Fanny, there's actually a secret I haven't told you yet."
Simon felt that there was no need to continue hiding this secret.
"Oh? What secret? If it's inconvenient to say, then you don't have to. As long as I know you're mine, that's enough."
"I think there's no longer any need to keep it secret, and it's time for you to know, Fanny."
"Hehe, then tell me. What secret is it?"
"I'm a Soul Mutator..."
"And just now, I successfully fused the Profound Mystery of Wind Element and the Profound Mystery of Water Element."
"Wow! Simon, you're actually a Soul Mutator! And you even fused two Heterogeneous Profound Mysteries! Th-this..."
Fanny was clearly deeply shocked. Born into a super clan, she naturally knew what Soul Mutation was and fully understood what it meant to fuse two Heterogeneous Profound Mysteries.
She knew Simon was a genius, but she had never expected him to be such an extraordinary genius.
"At first, I didn't know it was Soul Mutation either. I only knew that I could fuse and use energies and Profound Mysteries from different elements. It was only after coming to Hell and reading a great number of books that I learned this was called being a Soul Mutator."
Simon told a well-intentioned lie. Of course, he had known from the very beginning that this was Soul Mutation, but Fanny would find this explanation easier to accept.
After all, transmigration was not easy to explain.
"That's so cool! My Simon isn't just a genius—he's also a Soul Mutator. I'm so lucky."
"Most importantly, you were willing to share this secret with me."
Fanny happily rolled around on the bed.
Of course, she knew that Soul Mutators would reveal this secret only to those they trusted absolutely.
That meant Simon had completely opened his heart to her.
Fanny happily hugged Simon and kissed him. But after kissing him, she suddenly became embarrassed.
"Um..."
"What is it, Fanny?"
"Actually, there's something I've kept from you too. It's not really hiding it, though. It's just that my grandfather told me that absolutely, absolutely no one else could know about this."
"But you aren't anyone else, Simon. And I'm so happy today, so I still think I should show it to you."
As Fanny spoke, she spread open her palm.
Two fiery-red drops of liquid were floating above her palm.
Those two drops contained terrifyingly immense energy, and Simon guessed what they were.
"This is Sovereign's Might. You didn't know, did you, Simon? It's the most precious thing Grandfather gave me. If I use it, I don't need to fear Seven-Star Fiends at all. I can even use it to kill Seven-Star Fiends who are countered by me!"
Simon swallowed hard. This had surpassed even his wildest imagination.
No wonder Fanny had been so fearless, daring to roam Hell with him. Her grandfather had given her Sovereign's Might for protection!
Grayson truly doted on Fanny. Even as a Chief God Envoy with the strength of an Ultimate Asura, Sovereign's Might was still something extremely precious to him.
Yet he had still given Fanny two whole drops!
Fanny truly lived up to being Hell's super-rich third-generation heiress. This treatment nearly surpassed that of the third-generation descendants of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
"Fanny, put it away quickly. Unless you face an enormous danger in the future, you must never take out such a priceless treasure. Even if I ask you for it someday, you are not allowed to take it out. Understand, silly girl?"
Simon spoke very seriously.
With something like Sovereign's Might, even Paragons would never complain about having too much.
Ordinary Seven-Star Fiends and Asuras would risk their lives for even a single drop.
After all, you might not need Sovereign's Might, but you could not afford not to have it.
At a critical moment, it was an excellent life-saving treasure.
That was why those Seven-Star Fiends and experts with the strength of Ordinary Asuras craved it so desperately.
As for those powerful Commanders, they would not fight to the death over one or two drops of Sovereign's Might. After all, after the accumulation of countless years, they would generally have a few drops on hand.
Of course, if it were delivered to their doorstep, they would not mind taking it for themselves.
Sovereign's Might was simply too alluring!
If news that Fanny possessed Sovereign's Might leaked out, it would undoubtedly stir up a bloody storm.
Even with Simon's current strength, being swept into such a vortex would be extremely dangerous.
Furthermore, although Fanny's grandfather was one of Hell's foremost super experts, he could not control matters billions of miles away.
As long as they acted discreetly enough, they might even be able to hide it from a Chief Sovereign.
Therefore, there would absolutely be people willing to take such a risk for Sovereign's Might.
As long as they received the news, they would definitely use every means possible to seize it.
After all, Fanny was only a Five-Star Fiend. Even if she used compatible Sovereign's Might, she would not be a match for an Asura-level expert. Even against powerful Seven-Star Fiends, she would be in great danger.
