Perhaps he would delve into it in the future, but certainly not now.
Returning to the study of the most fundamental elements, Simon discovered that the Profound Mystery of Water Element was equally unique, also containing a facet of "spatial" properties.
In the original work, it was mentioned that after Linley became a Sovereign and created his own divine plane, he could form a nearly perfect space by perfectly fusing the Water Body Technique, Mist Illusion, and Sharpness of Ice.
Although it seemed as if the Water Element wasn't mentioned, one must not forget that the shadow of the water element exists within all the various Profound Mysteries of the water system.
This water element refers to the water-type element itself, not merely the Profound Mystery of Water Element.
Thinking of this, 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.
This opportunity was the "spatial" property that both shared!
It is true that one cannot directly comprehend the Laws of Space in the Coiling Dragon World, but that does not mean the Laws of Space do not exist.
After all, if the Laws of Space did not exist, the teleportation arrays spread across various planes could not possibly function.
In fact, the Laws of Space have simply been locked away by Hongmeng using something akin to "administrative privileges."
You cannot comprehend them directly, but you can understand their existence and observe them indirectly.
For example, people in a three-dimensional world cannot imagine a specific four-dimensional world, yet they know that a four-dimensional world exists.
Simon was currently in a similar state; he could not comprehend the Laws of Space, but he could confirm their existence and, to a certain extent, understand and indirectly observe them through the wind element.
This was also Simon's greatest advantage as a transmigrator!
Because the natives of the Coiling Dragon World were trapped in this world from birth, they naturally lacked the consciousness to explore the laws of time and space.
Naturally, they would not go out of their way to search for this "spatial property" which functioned like a bug in the system.
Moreover, Simon speculated that the secret to how Utrecht cracked the Four Divine Beasts' combined Innate Divine Ability also had to do with this ethereal "spatial" property.
He likely started from the Laws of Destruction and, through trial and error, caught a glimpse of the trace of "spatial" properties contained within the Laws of Destruction, thereby cleverly bypassing the soul disparity and cracking the secret of the Four Divine Beasts' combined Innate Divine Ability.
This was also only possible because Utrecht had cultivated the Laws of Destruction to the Paragon realm, giving him the qualifications to achieve this.
Perhaps even Utrecht, having cracked this secret, was baffled by it, but that did not affect his ability to use it.
Now, Simon had also touched upon this mysterious "spatial" property.
Unlike Utrecht's trial and error, Simon was certain that this was the "Laws of Space" of the main universe.
Although it was only the most superficial understanding, Simon had successfully used this property to perfectly fuse the Profound Mystery of Wind Element and the Profound Mystery of Water Element.
Because he had gained insight into this property, Simon's Water Element Divine Clone had also successfully managed to harmonize the Water Body Technique, Mist Illusion, and Sharpness of Ice within a short period.
Chapter 56: Being Open and Honest
With the guidance of this property, the difficulty of Simon's subsequent path of fusing Profound Mysteries plummeted.
For now, Simon still intended to focus on defense for his water system, meaning he would have his Water Element Divine Clone focus all its efforts on fusing the water element, Mist Illusion, and the Profound Mystery of Roundness and Softness related to dual defense, ensuring his defense remained solid.
These three Profound Mysteries had already successfully fused the water element and Mist Illusion.
As for Roundness and Softness, it had reached the final bottleneck in its fusion with both the water element and Mist Illusion respectively. Simon felt that it wouldn't be long before he broke through these two bottlenecks, at which point he could fuse all three Profound Mysteries together.
At that time, Simon's dual defense would also reach a temporary peak, followed by the gradual integration of Sharpness of Ice, Water Ripple, and the Water Body Technique.
Simon's plan was for the water system to focus on dual defense, the wind system to focus on offense, and his heterologous laws to focus on domain control, thereby maximizing his strength.
Opening his eyes, Simon saw Fanny staring at him.
"Is there a flower on my face, Fanny, that you're looking at me so intently?"
Simon said gently.
This super-rich third-generation beauty from Hell could have returned to her family safely under the escort of a Seven-Star Fiend, yet she chose to take risks with him.
Simon was well aware of the weight of this affection.
"I'm looking at my Simon, the Simon who belongs only to me."
Fanny smiled sweetly.
Hearing this, Simon couldn't help but pull Fanny into his arms and kiss her gently.
Fanny responded to Simon very submissively.
A long time later.
[Several tens of thousands of words omitted here...]
Fanny, having tidied her appearance, looked at Simon and said.
"You're so happy today; I saw the corners of your mouth curling up while you were cultivating."
"Of course I'm happy. I had a major breakthrough in this cultivation session. Fanny, from now on, whether it's a Seven-Star Fiend or an Asura, don't even think about hurting you while I'm around."
"That's what I, Simon, say!"
Simon's calm voice was filled with determination.
"Mm, I believe in you, Simon."
Fanny's soft voice rang out, echoing with nothing but complete trust.
"By the way, Fanny, there is actually a secret I haven't told you yet."
Simon felt that there was no longer any need to keep this secret hidden.
"Oh? What secret? If it's not convenient to talk about, you don't have to; regardless, I just know that you are mine, and that's enough."
"I think there is no need for secrecy anymore, and it is time for you to know, Fanny."
"Hehe, then tell me, what is this secret?"
"I am a Soul Mutator..."
"And just a moment ago, I successfully fused the Profound Mystery of Wind Element and the Profound Mystery of Water Element."
"Wow! Simon, you are actually a Soul Mutator! And you've even fused two different types of profound mysteries! This, this, this..."
Fanny was clearly deeply shocked. Born into a super clan, she naturally knew what a Soul Mutator was and understood exactly what it meant to fuse two different types of profound mysteries.
She knew Simon was a genius, but she never expected him to be a genius to this extent.
"I didn't actually know it was a soul mutation at first; I only knew that I could fuse energy and profound mysteries of different elements to use them. It wasn't until I came to Hell and read a large number of books that I learned this is called a Soul Mutator."
Simon told a white lie. Of course, he had known it was a soul mutation from the start, but saying it this way made it easier for Fanny to accept.
After all, things like transmigration were not easy to explain.
"That's so cool! My Simon is not only a genius but also a Soul Mutator. I'm so lucky."
"And the most important thing is that you're willing to share this secret with me."
Fanny rolled around on the bed, feeling happy.
She naturally knew that a Soul Mutator would only reveal this secret to someone they trusted absolutely.
This showed that Simon had completely opened his heart to her.
Fanny happily hugged and kissed Simon, but after she finished, she suddenly felt shy.
"Um..."
"What's wrong, Fanny?"
"Actually, I also have something I've been hiding from you. Well, I can't exactly say hiding, but my grandfather told me that I must, must not let anyone else know about this thing."
"But Simon, you aren't 'anyone else,' and I'm so happy today, so I decided to show it to you."
As she spoke, Fanny opened her palm.
At that moment, two fire-red droplets were hovering in the center of her palm.
These two droplets contained energy so terrifying that Simon guessed what they were.
"This is Sovereign's Might. You probably didn't know, Simon, but this is the most precious thing my grandfather gave me. If I use it, I can be completely fearless against Seven-Star Fiends, and I can even rely on it to kill those Seven-Star Fiends that I have an elemental advantage over!"
Simon swallowed hard; this had already exceeded his wildest imagination.
No wonder Fanny was so confident and dared to roam Hell with him; it turned out her grandfather had given her Sovereign's Might for protection!
Grayson was far too doting on Fanny. Even though he was a Chief God Envoy and possessed the strength of an elite Asura, Sovereign's Might was still a very precious resource even to him.
Yet, he had given Fanny two whole droplets!
Fanny was truly a super-rich third generation of Hell; this treatment was almost better than that of the third-generation descendants of the Four Divine Beasts Clan.
"Fanny, put it away quickly. Such a great treasure should never be brought out unless you encounter extreme danger. Even if I ask you for it later, you are not allowed to take it out, do you understand? You silly girl."
Simon said very seriously.
For something like Sovereign's Might, even a Paragon would not complain about having too much.
Ordinary Seven-Star Fiends and Asuras would risk their lives just to get one drop.
After all, you might not need to use Sovereign's Might, but you cannot afford to be without it.
At critical moments, it is a life-saving treasure.
That is why those Seven-Star Fiends and experts with ordinary Asura-level strength craved it so much.
As for those powerful Commanders, they wouldn't fight to the death over one or two drops; after all, having lived through such long ages, they would always have a few drops on hand.
Of course, if someone offered it to them, they wouldn't mind taking it.
The allure of Sovereign's Might was simply too strong!
If news that Fanny possessed Sovereign's Might were to leak out, it would undoubtedly trigger a bloodbath.
Even with Simon's current strength, getting caught in such a vortex would be extremely dangerous.
Moreover, although Fanny's grandfather was one of the top super-experts in Hell, he couldn't control things happening millions of miles away.
As long as it was done discreetly, even a Sovereign could potentially be deceived.
Therefore, there were definitely people willing to take the risk for the sake of Sovereign's Might.
Once they got wind of the news, they would stop at nothing to seize it.
After all, Fanny's strength was only that of a Five-Star Fiend. Even if she used the appropriate Sovereign's Might, she would be no match for an Asura-level expert, and even encountering a powerful Seven-Star Fiend would be very dangerous.
