Ding Yun frowned as she looked at the group of golden-red, flame-like sun spirits, newly born with consciousness, happily circling and dancing around the two of them.
"Since these spirits can be born, it means my plan is fine. Could it be that you and I aren't strong enough? But that shouldn't be the case. We are Supreme Gods after all. Even if we can't create life of the same level, creating life one or two levels lower should be fine, right?"
Seeing that reality fell far short of expectations, Ding Yun began to hesitate whether to proceed with the original plan, which was to refine all the stars into her avatars. Although it would be troublesome, she had already tried it before and was certain there would be no mistakes.
However, doing so would mean abandoning Jin Xinxin and acting alone. Furthermore, her prior agreement with Jin Xinxin, that she would become a Creation God first and then self-destruct to transfer faith, would also be impossible to achieve. If she refined most of the stars into her avatars, they would perish along with her upon her self-destruction.
The consequences would be immeasurable.
At best, the origin of the stars would be damaged, and their lifespans reduced.
At worst, the galaxy would be thrown into chaos.
With countless avatars perishing at once, it was likely that before she could even transfer her faith, her many believers would first lose their faith and retaliate. In short, it would be a considerable mess.
The original plan hadn't accounted for Jin Xinxin's existence, so forcing him into it naturally led to problems. The new plan seemed to have its own issues.
She couldn't find a perfect solution.
Seeing Ding Yun frowning and constantly calculating, Jin Xinxin also mulled over it for a while before reluctantly revealing the truth, "Sister, your plan should be fine. The problem lies with me. When I was promoted to Supreme God before, I had a vague inkling. These past few days, as we've continuously created life, I think I can finally see the situation clearly. I suspect you've long guessed this, but you were too embarrassed to say it."
"The law I control is the Radiant Moon Law, not the Taiyin Law. Although the radiant moon is equivalent to the moon, and the moon is equivalent to Taiyin, in reality, the radiant moon is just one of the moon's states. There are eight phases of the moon: radiant moon, waxing crescent, waning crescent, first quarter, waxing gibbous, and so on. Not to mention the annular eclipse during a solar eclipse. In short, the Radiant Moon Law I control can at most be considered a branch of the Taiyin Law. Even if I broke through to become a Supreme God by borrowing the Radiant Moon Law, I can only control a part of the Taiyin Law, a fragmented Taiyin Law. While it can achieve yin and yang harmony with your perfected Solar Law, it will undoubtedly be much inferior. I initially thought that if I contributed more Radiant Moon divine power to cooperate with you, it would be sufficient. But now it seems that this isn't something that can be balanced by me contributing more Radiant Moon divine power. Your cultivation is already much higher than mine, and I am still controlling a fragmented Taiyin Law. If I were to create Radiant Moon-type life alone, even at the cost of my origin, I might be able to create a High God. But in cooperation with you, a Demigod might be the limit. I'm holding you back. Why don't you proceed with your original plan? I'll figure something out on my end. Failure doesn't really matter. I didn't expect to succeed anyway. My mother failed, and I will fail too, but living a few hundred years longer than her is nothing to be ashamed of. She shouldn't have the face to mock me. Let's just do this, we'll act separately."
When Jin Xinxin broke through to Supreme God and controlled laws, he discovered that he couldn't perfectly control the Taiyin Law. He could only mobilize less than a tenth of the Taiyin Law, which made him understand his own situation. However, he still wanted to try, to gamble. Perhaps it wouldn't have much of an impact. But now, it was evident that his incomplete control of the Taiyin Law had a significant impact, to the point where Ding Yun's plan couldn't be executed smoothly.
Although he claimed it didn't matter, his expression was clearly a little dejected. His mother had always been very assertive, and many of his plans, from his studies to his career, were made by her. He had occasionally mentioned to Ding Yun before that he wanted to succeed once on his own, without his mother's help, just to let her know that he wasn't incapable of living without her and could do things well on his own. Although success this time might still depend on Ding Yun, it was progress. At least he wasn't relying on his mother. Now, seeing that success was impossible, it was normal for him to be a bit dejected.
"Don't rush. The most important thing is to identify the problem and then solve it. Your incomplete control of the Taiyin Law is indeed a problem. When you broke through to Supreme God before, I felt that the commotion was too small, too small to be like someone controlling the Taiyin Law. But I still gambled, hoping it would be fine. Unfortunately, it turned out to be a problem. Looking at it now, the most important thing is to help you fully control the Taiyin Law. Uh... because the Radiant Moon Throne you chose only represents the Radiant Moon Law and doesn't involve the complete Taiyin Law, we can't take shortcuts like before by using law divine artifacts to break through. You'll have to rely on your own hard work and comprehension to break through. But eight hundred years is too short!"
Although Ding Yun was trying to comfort him, she couldn't think of a concrete solution for the moment. As Ding Yun pondered, Jin Xinxin gritted his teeth and said, "I want to take a risk. I want to enter the Sea of Universal Laws and attempt to merge with the Radiant Moon Law. Then, based on that, I'll try to comprehend other laws that also belong under the Taiyin Law, and eventually control the Taiyin Law. Although there might be some risks, this should be the only way for me to control the Taiyin Law in the shortest possible time. Besides this, I really can't think of any other way to quickly master the complete Taiyin Law within a few hundred years."
"You're crazy, you can't do that!"
Needless to say, Ding Yun refused Jin Xinxin without a second thought. What was he talking about? For them, mission failure merely meant not getting rewards. But if he were to merge with the laws for the mission and then accidentally be drowned by the Sea of Universal Laws, turning into primordial chaos, it would be a problem whether their true spirits could be salvaged. How could she explain that to her mother and aunt?
"Don't worry, there must be other ways. If not, we'll just change the plan. We still have over eight hundred years, no need to be so anxious. Let me think again. For now, help me settle these sun spirits. I'll think, think if I can change the plan. In any case, don't make any rash decisions!"
While comforting him and giving him something else to do to prevent him from getting fixated on a single idea, Ding Yun didn't forget to place a mark on Jin Xinxin, fearing that he might impulsively charge into the Sea of Universal Laws for a law merge. Only then did she continue to ponder how to change the plan, or rather, how to perfect the flawed plan.
