By this point, the Senior Sea God had shared all the paths he knew with Wei Chen.
The rest was up to Wei Chen's choice.
As he had said before, the Senior Sea God was honorable; no matter how Wei Chen chose, he would not act against him.
That was the dignity of a deity.
Even though the current Sea God was severely restricted, his Divine Power weakened and his Mental Strength extremely frail, he was still a First-Level Deity, possessing the dignity of one, and would not resort to actions against the weak.
In his eyes, Wei Chen was weak—extremely weak.
Not just Wei Chen; even an ordinary Boundary God appeared very weak in his view!
"Senior, what is the method to condense the Heart of the World in those Spatial Planes without Boundary Gods?" Wei Chen asked.
The Senior Sea God replied calmly, "You will naturally know this once you become a Boundary God. After becoming a Boundary God, some divine cultivation methods will appear in your Sea of Consciousness to help you progress rapidly."
At this point, Wei Chen no longer hesitated and nodded. "Senior Sea God, let's begin. There's no need to waste time."
"Have you made your decision? Although you have some opportunities over ten thousand years, they are not very significant. I estimate that with your aptitude, you might only have a twenty percent chance," the Senior Sea God said lightly.
Wei Chen firmly nodded and replied, "Even if it's only a one percent chance, I will give it my all."
Once Wei Chen's resolve was firm, there was no room for hesitation.
He no longer paid attention to the Senior Sea God watching him from the side and began to wholeheartedly study the formation.
The Senior Sea God thought to himself that this young man had good courage; perhaps he could lend him a hand...
Of course, this is all contingent on whether Wei Chen can break the formation; otherwise, everything is just talk.
All the previous discussions were about what would happen after the formation was broken. If Wei Chen cannot break it, then there is truly nothing good to speak of. The so-called danger from the Senior Sea God would be something Wei Chen wouldn’t even qualify to touch. Even if he wanted to be killed by the Secondary God, he wouldn’t have that qualification. The Secondary God is so high above that they might not even have the interest to glance at him.
The Senior Sea God watched quietly, not disturbing Wei Chen in the slightest. He had even transformed his entire body into a phantom in the air; although he was still watching Wei Chen, Wei Chen would not perceive his presence.
When it comes to his freedom and life, the Senior Sea God dared not be careless.
He understood the intricacies of the formation; one moment of inattention could lead to failure.
He also knew that at such a time, even the slightest sound could disrupt Wei Chen's train of thought.
Time passed second by second. It seemed like only a few blinks had gone by, yet a full half month had already elapsed.
For half a month, Wei Chen remained motionless, staring at the swirling mist and the formations. His expressions shifted from joy to frustration to confusion, but his body did not move an inch.
The formations left behind by the Secondary God generally require another Secondary God of equal standing to break them.
With his current strength, it was indeed extremely difficult for Wei Chen to break the formation set by a Secondary God.
But no matter how difficult it was, Wei Chen had to try. Moreover, what was most precious was that he had confidence in breaking that formation.
Confidence may not seem important on ordinary days, but at critical moments, when facing absolute predicaments, it becomes incredibly effective. Wei Chen's confidence stemmed from a strong belief rather than from how formidable his understanding of formations was.
Take Old Man Han Mang from Soul World, for instance; his mastery of formations far surpassed that of Wei Chen. However, if Han Mang were tasked with breaking the formation left by the Secondary God, he would absolutely have no way to do so.
The formations set by a Secondary God are not something one can simply break at will.
It is not merely about the mastery of formations, but rather about unwavering belief and strong Formation Assignment.
Wei Chen possesses belief, and more importantly, talent in formations; he is unmatched in this regard. The Demon Lotus Emperor chose to descend upon him initially because of his Formation Assignment. He did not disappoint the Demon Lotus Emperor, relying on his Formation Assignment to overcome one challenge after another. In fact, Wei Chen's Formation Assignment has already been tested. Everyone acknowledges him as a master of formations, and over time, he has come to believe in his own abilities. Thus, his confidence has accumulated step by step through praise.
However, no matter how much confidence he has, facing the formations left behind by the Secondary God—especially the layered formations that amount to a terrifying one thousand and twenty-four layers—his belief seems to have little effect.
After half a month, he devoted all his focus and energy to deciphering that layered formation but still found no way to break it.
"It has been half a month... Heh, the formations of the Secondary God are indeed extraordinary. If Han Mang were here, he would probably be overwhelmed."
Wei Chen has always known that overly complex formations can become lifelong shackles for those lacking in Formation Assignment skills; once one becomes obsessed, it can linger in their mind and hinder further progress in their understanding of formations.
Han Mang's talent would not dare to scrutinize the formation before Wei Chen at this moment; he would likely faint from the complexity.
Wei Chen dares to look closely and study it thoroughly, partly because his Formation Assignment is strong, and partly because his Mental Strength is formidable. Both are indispensable.
"With my current abilities, the Secondary God's formation is indeed very difficult... But no matter how challenging it is, it is still a formation. Since it is a formation, there must be a way to break it; otherwise, it would defy logic."
"Let’s take another look!"
Wei Chen pondered for a moment, clenched his fist lightly, and then immersed himself back into the study.
Meanwhile, the Senior Sea God, who was concealed in the void, observed Wei Chen's performance with slight disappointment.
Half a month had passed with no progress; could it be that he was unable to find a solution?
The Senior Sea God quietly watched Wei Chen and thought to himself: "It seems this child cannot find any clues for breaking it. After all, it is the formation of a Secondary God; how can I expect him to succeed?"
"However, he is still holding on. Is there still hope?"
"From the looks of him, there might be. After all, he hasn't shown any signs of impatience or despair."
"Perhaps as long as he continues to persevere, there is hope?"
The Senior Sea God looked at Wei Chen, and his somewhat anxious heart gradually calmed down. From Wei Chen, he learned something important. When facing a formidable 'enemy,' perhaps what matters most is not absolute strength, but a composed attitude.
A weakling who is so powerless that they barely count as one, yet possesses the conviction to persist in deciphering the formation left by the Secondary God, is truly remarkable.
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye, half a month had passed.
Wei Chen stood quietly, completely still, seemingly unaware of the passage of time.
In contrast, the Senior Sea God, who was transformed into nothingness, began to feel a bit anxious.
"A whole month has gone by. What on earth is this kid doing?"
"At the very least, he should be making some moves, right?"
"Just standing there like this—can he really figure anything out?"
"Is breaking the formation all about just standing and watching?"
The Senior Sea God felt somewhat speechless. "Could it be that this kid is pretending to be a master of formations while actually being quite ordinary?"
"I've wasted so much breath explaining everything and answering his questions. He can't possibly be just fooling around, can he?"
"If this is just a joke, then it's a pretty big one."
"I had already lost hope, but you gave me some. Please don't extinguish it again; the Old Man can't bear it!"
The Senior Sea God quietly watched Wei Chen. Although he felt anxious, he had no intention of interrupting. At least Wei Chen was still holding on, not giving up.
And what about Wei Chen?
He was merely sorting out the formation little by little, unknowingly losing track of time.
Time can feel incredibly slow at times and then rush by at others. For Wei Chen, he had no sense of how fast or slow time was passing; he only knew that the lines of the formation were gradually being unraveled.
He forgot about time, the fatigue of standing still for so long, hunger, and everything else.
In Wei Chen's eyes, there was only the formation.
The nodes and lines of the formation were slowly being sorted out in his Sea of Consciousness, constructing a grand and massive pattern.
As time passed, that pattern grew larger and larger.
Inside the Sea God Palace, it was silent; not a sound could be heard.
Wei Chen stood quietly, and no one knew how much progress he was making.
The Senior Sea God began calm, then became anxious, then calm again, only to become anxious once more. His emotions fluctuated wildly; if he could, he would have wanted to wake Wei Chen to ask about his progress. But he deeply understood that Wei Chen was already engrossed in his work. Waking him now might undo all their efforts.
"Ah, you brat, you're really driving me crazy. Are you trying to kill me with anxiety?"
"You keep talking about breaking the formation for two years, and it's been half a year now. You haven't even lifted a finger! How can I, the Old Man, bear this?"
"If it weren't for the fact that you seem so focused, as if you're trying to think of a solution, I would have slapped you already."
The Senior Sea God was at his wit's end, wanting to know but unable to find out, feeling as restless as an ant on a hot pan.
He didn't care much about the time; after all, he had hundreds of years left. Within those hundreds of years, the formation wouldn't overlap again, and his Divine Power could sustain him for that long. What troubled him was the immense hope followed by disappointment; that feeling could shatter his last shred of faith.
The Senior Sea God deeply understood that encountering Wei Chen was his only chance. Before this, no one had the ability or confidence to break this formation.
Wei Chen possessed both qualities; perhaps all he needed was a bit of luck?
"Brat, I'm begging you to do something. Are you trying to kill me on purpose?"
The Senior Sea God looked at the motionless Wei Chen, wanting to cry but having no tears...
Finding someone like him for help was truly a disaster.
The more anxious the Senior Sea God became, the more exhausted he felt hiding in the shadows watching Wei Chen.
Two months later, finally, Wei Chen moved!
