Sword God in a World of Magic

This time, Shang only needed to wait for around five minutes before he got an answer.

"This is far more difficult," Queen Primordium said as she looked at Shang. "This isn't something I can just create in a couple of hours. Additionally, we are talking about a far more theoretical level here."

"The earlier solutions were already backed by real-world data due to how your power has developed already. As of now, we don't have any examples of how your power would develop further."

"Additionally, while the way I will eventually create might be the most optimal for the vast majority of people, it might not be the correct one for you."

"In the end, you were the one that has a sixfold Spirit Sense, not me. I think the best way to create a fitting Path for you is not to create one."

"It would be better for me to come up with a couple of theories that you can try out. What you need is not someone telling you what to make, but someone that pushes your mind out of the proverbial box, widening your horizons."

"The more creativity and information you have access to, the better and more informed your eventual decision will be," Queen Primordium explained.
