Ian Song still felt a few lingering doubts, but deep down, Star King's explanation had convinced him. (He couldn't shake the feeling that something was off, but the logic fit—at least for now.)
"Which God-King has that item now?"
Star King replied, "The other party is called Blazecrest God-King. He's already at the very peak of upper God-King, and it's only a matter of time before he breaks through to God Emperor!" (His voice turned serious, as if warning Ian of the danger.)
"So what's the core component the Divine Hall is missing?"
Ian pressed further.
"The Time-Space Heart!"
Star King said gravely, "Once the Time-Space Heart merges with the Divine Hall, it lets the Hall absorb time-space energy directly. Only a Hall with its Heart can show its true power. Right now, the Hall can still convert ordinary energy into time-space power, but that's only possible in low-level worlds. In the God Realm, where the laws are solid, conversion is blocked, and even its travel abilities are crippled. So if you want the Divine Hall's real functions, you have to take back the Time-Space Heart!"
Right now, the Hall can still convert ordinary energy into time-space power, but that only works in lower-tier spaces. In a place like the God Realm, where the laws are stable, conversion can’t happen, and even the traversal function is severely limited. So, if you want to unlock the Divine Hall’s true abilities, you have to reclaim the Time-Space Heart!"
"So that's how it is!"
Ian nodded. "Then let my wives out of the Divine Hall."
With a flick of his wrist, Star King summoned all of Ian’s wives into the secret chamber. The room was specially warded—almost no law power could seep in. Instantly, the atmosphere brightened, and several beautiful figures appeared, each with their own distinct aura.
"Husband!"
"Brother!"
"Darling!"
............
All the women lit up with joy when they saw Ian. (One of them nearly tackled him in a hug, and another wiped away tears of relief. For a moment, the chamber was full of laughter and warmth.)
While Ian chatted with them, Star King quietly vanished. He couldn’t stay outside for long; if he wasn’t careful, Blazecrest God-King would notice him.
After a little catching up, Ian rolled up his sleeves and began helping them forge their divine bodies. (He grinned, "Who says you need to wait for a real God Tribulation? With me here, that's optional!")
It didn’t matter if they hadn’t passed God Tribulation yet.
After all, his true body cultivated thunder law—he could easily whip up a simulated God Tribulation for them. (It was one of those cheat abilities that made the whole process look almost too easy, but Ian wasn't about to complain.)
