"The Dragon God holds many authorities. I have also mastered various authorities like Nirvana, Fire, Life, and others, yet I was still injured during the breakthrough process."

The scars from the rules are engraved in the deepest parts of the authority. Consequently, one's authority is inherently flawed, and using one's power naturally carries risks, potentially leading to a loss of control.

"At our level, as we integrate our authorities, we also immerse ourselves into them. Only in this way can we fully control this part of the authority, using it to oppose heaven and earth."

"When the authority is damaged, it is our consciousness that is affected, so the backlash manifests as madness."

The great battle between the First Generation Phoenix God and the Dragon God back then may have included elements of madness.

"Merging oneself into the authority?" Su Yu estimated that this might be the most fundamental point of the Supreme Divine King rather than just authority integration.

"This is an entire process. To complete the integration of authority, one must first assimilate the authority into oneself. Otherwise, the repulsive force from merging the authorities conglomerated by the cosmos is unbearable."

The First Generation Phoenix God believed Su Yu was on the brink of breakthrough because he sensed that Su Yu seemed to have integrated an authority. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

"You have the aura of three authorities within you. One has already merged into your body. Among the remaining two, aside from my Phoenix authority, the other authority is very powerful."

The First Generation Phoenix God slightly sensed it and held Su Yu's Reincarnation Divine Position in high regard.

Su Yu also released the Reincarnation Divine Position for the First Generation Phoenix God to experience.

"Reincarnation..." The First Generation Phoenix God was also amazed at Su Yu's Divine Position.

"You've actually achieved a perfect transition between life and death. The rules involved and integrated are already quite complete. By merely merging this one authority with yourself, you might contend with heaven and earth for control. If you integrate more authorities, your strength will further increase."

This was even more complete than when he mastered the authority of Nirvana.

The most crucial part is that this Divine Position is remarkably complete, seemingly perfectly integrating many rules involved in the cycle of life and death.

Moreover, he could see that this Divine Position perfectly matched Su Yu.

In other words, this Divine Position was condensed by Su Yu himself.

The vitality in Su Yu was overwhelming, and he was quite young.

"I will share my breakthrough experiences with you. When my will dissipates, I hope you can lend a hand to the Phoenix Race."

The First Generation Phoenix God transformed into a man in a long robe with gold patterns within the red, looking at Su Yu.

"Once you break through, you should be able to help the Phoenix Race avoid the Dragon God's restrictions."

Now Su Yu could assist individual breakthroughs, but to help an entire race overcome restrictions would require reaching the level of the Dragon God, which is to become a Supreme Divine King.

Su Yu was still one step away.

The First Generation Phoenix God began recounting his own experiences during his breakthrough.

...

Watching the figure in front of him slowly dissipate, Su Yu remained calm.

He recalled the breakthrough process just recounted by the First Generation Phoenix God, feeling the significant insights gained within his Phoenix Divine Position.

"Imitating me ensures life, resembling me ensures death."

You can learn and inherit my abilities, but cannot blindly imitate.

The path to becoming a Supreme Divine King is a route, a unique route; achieving it through pure inheritance is not straightforward.

Of course, after the other truly perishes, one might walk the same path.

Within Su Yu's current Phoenix God Divine Position, numerous authorities manifested, precisely those that the First Generation Phoenix God once mastered.

If possible, Su Yu could completely integrate these authorities, then follow the First Generation Phoenix God's path, elevating his Phoenix God Divine Position to the level of a Supreme Divine King.

However, he gave up.

Or rather, he never intended to achieve Supreme Divine King status through a Divine Position.

"The Divine Position itself is condensed by heaven and earth, part of the cosmos. Hoping to oppose the cosmos with a part of it is quite presumptuous."

Even if he seized it and integrated it into himself, so what?

It remains part of the cosmos.

The rules being able to condense a corresponding authority once doesn't mean those rules have vanished.

In the First Generation Phoenix God's narrative, Su Yu could also sense that the First Generation realized the imprudence of seizing cosmos authorities to struggle for control over the cosmos.

Therefore, in the breakthrough process, both he and the Dragon God, and many predecessors who achieved Supreme Divine King status, all understood this, merging and sublimating their authorities to create a unique authority solely belonging to themselves.

Thus, even though the rules remain, the cosmos cannot possess this uniquely Supreme Divine King authority, having to contend with it using its initial rules.

The First Generation Phoenix God's reflection noted that their continued backlash was due to their authorities not being strong enough, the rules accommodated weren't numerous enough, unable to withstand the cosmos's counterattack.

"Perhaps, by perfecting numerous authorities, integrating more rules, and expanding the path of the unique authority, it could indeed counter heavens' retaliation, seizing cosmos control, but such a path is incredibly challenging."

Even Su Yu couldn't confidently claim he could perfectly integrate numerous rules to rival the cosmos's operation.

The cosmos is a fully formed set of heavens, where rules operate seamlessly, far from what human effort can construct.

Of course, imitating the cosmos might hold hope for establishing a nascent world.

Then, with the rotation of heavens, gradually perfect the encompassing rules, thus matching a cosmos.

This was Su Yu's own method for transcendence.

He imitated the cosmos, using his power to outline his path, learning from outside, drawing from within.

"A Supreme Divine King is merely a transitional stage from being a Divine King to the next realm, rather than a complete realm."

The next step after being a Divine King is to become a Controller or Transcender.

To master the cosmos or transcend it requires merging into authorities, then integrating numerous authorities, condensing a unique authority, and contending with the cosmos.

Understanding these, Su Yu felt his journey had yielded massive insights.

"I won't walk the path of a Supreme Divine King, but undoubtedly, it serves as a reference for me."

...

Before Su Yu left the Phoenix Mini-World, he guided the Power of Rules, attempting to modify the rule restrictions of the Phoenix Mini-World.

"From now on, Phoenix Race members born in the mini-world will not face breakthrough restrictions."

He now had the ability to lift the restrictions on a race.

Of course, this also utilized the powers of the Phoenix Mini-World itself, isolating it from Douluo Star in certain rules, thus making the Phoenix Mini-World an independent cultivation star.

The Dragon God's restriction is engraved in the blood, and many already-born Phoenix Race members have this shackle in their bloodline, whose breakthrough will still be limited.

For these Phoenix Race members, if they have the ability to break through, Su Yu would also conveniently conceal them.

Of course, Su Yu felt that by then, Gu Yuena should have also inherited the Dragon God's Divine Position and could lift this restriction.

...

Su Yu did not return to the Divine Realm.

He had already comprehended the Divine Realm Central Hub and did not need to undergo seclusion cultivation.

Time drifted by.

Su Yu's warnings made the various Divine Realms watching on the sidelines cautious, refraining from intervening rashly. However, they were cautious only if they truly saw an opportunity; they'd still take the field since the law doesn't enforce chastisement on everyone, and besides, Su Yu is not the law, nor does he represent the cosmos's will.

The god realm of the strange Divine King slain by Su Yu, however, directly joined the Extremely Evil Divine Realm's side in battle with the Douluo Divine Realm.

Fortunately, both Evil and Good Divine Kings returned, and Tang San headed to the frontline to join the battle.

Su Yu's merits from the previous battle were sufficient. Instead, he traveled through the cosmos, visiting various planes to understand the operation of the rules within them, making his final accumulations.

In his hands, that illusory space became increasingly real, with lines of Dao inscriptions sketched out, running more smoothly as well.
