I, the Lord of the Fifth Throne, am the source of all things!

For example, the third rank of Eternal Destruction: Creation.

It means to manifest one's own desires, fanaticism, and obsessions, transforming them into a 'different world' with vastly different rules; this is the prototype of domineering.

To create by transforming oneself into an independent, otherworldly inner self is to seek the Tao.

The path one achieves is determined by one's own desires and obsessions.

Therefore, regardless of the type, both require an extremely strong sense of self and unwavering commitment.

And the concept of the mind possesses all of these qualities.

Did the "me" of the past ever try to walk the path of "desire"?

After finishing her meal, Duanmu Lian looked at the densely numbered records in the [Records of All Things], browsing through her past memories while asking Dalian a question.

His memories were so numerous and vast, and each one was unique.

There was the self with superpowers in technology, the self who walked the path of martial arts, the self who walked the path of the soul... These memories of life are truly wonderful and long, and dazzling.

If Duanmu Lian recklessly absorbs these memories, there is a high probability that she will lose herself.

“Lian once told me that there are... but compared to all of Duanmu Lian, there are very few.”

Dalian pondered for a moment, then nodded in affirmation of Duanmu Lian's question.

In the girl's recollection, the previous Demon God Ren had mentioned this matter to her.

Most Duanmu Lian did not choose to follow the power system of the God Throne Myriad Phenomena Worldview for the following reasons.

First, he didn't know if he could become a god.

After all, in the storyline of The Day of Wrath of the Gods, those who can become gods are either born gods or beings with a connection to gods.

Reinhardt can be considered half of the Mercury Serpent, because the other is the embodiment of the Mercury Serpent's desire for destruction, that is, the self-destructive factor.

Fujii Ren was the son created by the Mercury Serpent himself, and the scabbard he made for Margaret was made using his own relics and blood.

what?

You're talking about eternal destruction?

That system can indeed make you stronger by killing and devouring souls, but if your own soul aptitude is insufficient and you lack divinity, no matter how strong you are, you are just an ant in front of a god.

Second, the domineering nature of monochrome is itself a flawed approach.

The Overlord God is undoubtedly very powerful, but his various flaws are also blatantly obvious.

Uncertainty and instability are quite high.

Third, Duanmu Lian felt that the kind of system that could be transformed into a single entity or multiple entities in a single day of enlightenment was not suitable for him.

Everything requires understanding one's own desires, and everything requires relying on one's own persistence, which is somewhat demanding for Duanmu Lian, who has worked hard to get to where she is today.

You can tell this by looking at the number of times he died and was reborn.

He never considered himself the protagonist, after all, in the worldview of God's Wrath, the condition for becoming the protagonist is to be a toy of God.

How ironic and ridiculous!

Fourth, Duanmu Lian's condition is not permissible or suitable.

He knew that his soul's qualities were not like those of those born with divine beings or relationships with gods, so he did not focus on that aspect from the beginning.

When Duanmu Lian had the resources to pursue that path, he had already entered a different system, so it was impossible for him to give up halfway.

"I see......."

After hearing Dalian's description, Duanmu Lian expressed her understanding of the situation at the time.

Thanks to the efforts of countless Duanmu Lians, he now has many paths to becoming stronger to choose from.

There's really no need to cling to the power system of seeking the Dao and dominating the world for the time being.

"You've been in the training space for quite a while now. How about a real combat adventure? And while you're at it, upgrade your equipment."

Without any hesitation, Dalian used her magic to scan Duanmu Lian's current physical condition from head to toe before speaking up to remind her.

Although the battles in the training space are incredibly realistic, reality is reality, and illusion is illusion.

Now, if Duanmu Lian wants to fully meet the physical requirements, she must engage in a real, bloody battle.

"Oh? Should we use [World Projection] or [Interdimensional Gate]?"

Upon hearing what Dalian said, Duanmu Lian's eyes lit up, and she seemed even more eager to get started.

After all, in the previous training, there was always a sense of stagnation, and each time I became stronger, I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment.

These are things he has experienced countless times before; even if his soul has lost its memory, it cannot completely forget them.

"NO! Your soul power and mental strength are not up to standard yet. For safety and stability, it's best not to use it for now."

Seeing Duanmu Lian's eagerness, Dalian solemnly denied her words.

In Dalian's eyes, Duanmu Lian is still very immature and needs time to be truly honed.

She was still not comfortable letting Duanmu Lian use those two functions.

Moreover, in terms of soul power and mental strength, as long as Duanmu Lian diligently cultivates the techniques created by countless versions of herself, she will surely catch up with her physical abilities in no time.

"Then how do we actually engage in combat and adventure?"

"Hmm, have you forgotten the cosmic marbles we saw at the Ancient Tree of Reincarnation? Come with me!"

Upon hearing Dalian's words, Duanmu Lian immediately realized what was going on.

Yes, even without time travel, there are still many practical training grounds left to him by his predecessors within the space.

What he could think of, his past self could certainly have thought of as well.

Duanmu Lian immediately followed Dalian to another strategic location within the spatial realm, which was a hall used to store important items, not far from the location of the Hall of Seeking the Dao.

This hall was specially built after Duanmu Lian had collected a large number of items.

It doesn't contain treasures; instead, it's a place specifically for storing items used for experiments.

On the way to this hall, Duanmu Lian was drawn to another magnificent doorway.

"That is......."

What Duanmu Lian saw was a huge door that perfectly combined mechanical and mysterious styles.

Just looking at that doorway, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but feel a sense of melancholy.

There are a lot of buildings in the interior space, and the important places can even occupy half the size of the earth. In a short time, based on her past memories, Duanmu Lian still has not been able to completely explore the entire interior space.

Now that he saw a building that interested him, he didn't consult his memories, but instead wanted to ask Dalian if she knew what it was.

However, Dalian's reaction was unexpectedly strange.

"That, that was also a place for cultivation, which you specially created back then."

When Dalian saw that Duanmu Lian's attention was drawn to the door, her expression immediately became tense and reserved. She spoke to Lian in a hesitant yet excited tone:

"It's too early for you to go there now. Promise me you won't go there for now!"

"....good."

Duanmu Lian also noticed that something was wrong with Dalian, but he still had absolute trust in her.

Because whatever the reason, this girl would never have any ill intentions towards him.

Even though he wasn't the previous generation's Lotus, his soul and heart were always unconsciously drawn to Dalian.

Dalian did not deceive herself by treating him as the previous generation of Lian, but rather as her son, the continuation of the life of the person she loved.

"Hook!"

Looking at Duanmu Lian, who had agreed to her request, Dalian still extended her little finger to her with some unease.

Faced with this childish and unrestrained childish action, Duanmu Lian's stiff and indifferent face revealed a helpless expression, but she still extended her little finger and hooked it with the girl's little finger, saying:

"Hook."

Only then did Dalian feel completely relieved, and a satisfied smile returned to her face.

After making the pinky promise, she immediately grabbed Duanmu Lian's hand and ran off, quickly leading him away from the place.

Before leaving this place completely, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but look back one last time, making this place a part of her memory.

He wouldn't break his promise, after all, Dalian had said not to come to this place for the time being.

What lies behind that door, and what is its purpose?

He can access his own memories, or he can directly use his privileges to break in.

However, he was willing to listen to what Dalian, this girl who treated him like a child, had to say.

.................

Not long after being led away by Dalian, Duanmu Lian saw a huge base filled with a technological style.

There are many buildings of this style in interior spaces, and many are even larger than this one, but in terms of security, this place is definitely the most secure.

Dalian introduced this place to Duanmu Lian with great familiarity, explaining that many of Duanmu Lian's experimental items were stored in this building.

There are many dangerous items and creatures in the area, so security here is quite tight.

After Duanmu Lian arrived here, he was first taken by Dalian to undergo a transfer of authority, which granted him the highest level of control here.

After doing all that, the two of them headed to their destination.

Along the way, we also encountered many dangerous creatures and artifacts that had been sealed away.

For example, Godzilla and King Ghidorah were frozen in ice, the complete statue of the Giant of Light was made, and various monster specimens were made.

There are also many powerful life forms in the universe, such as the bodies of the Heroic Race from "Heroic Age".

Duanmu Lian's eyelids twitched as she gained the highest level of access to view the information. There were indeed far too many dangerous things in this place.
