I, the Lord of the Fifth Heavenly Throne, flow out of all things!

When the essence, energy and spirit are transformed into the three flowers gathered at the top of the head, the original self, the devil self and the divine self will all be reborn and sublimated.

By then, it will enter the fourth stage of [Fantasy], and the gods and demons that have already become powerful will rebel to the death and replace Duanmulian who occupies the position of [Self] among the three flowers.

If Duanmulian fails to awaken and seek the truth or become a tyrant during this process, her soul will fall into uncontrollable and irreversible self-destruction.

........

"Incredible, this is really amazing..."

The desert area in central China.

Deep underground in this sparsely populated area is an enormous research base.

The first nuclear bomb of the Celestial Empire was detonated in this area. Now, a more powerful creation that far exceeds a nuclear bomb has been born in this area.

That is the energy furnace of the spacecraft, the [Retreat Furnace] led and developed by Duanmulian.

This is a new type of power device, and its principle is: energy is released from the singularity created by the difference in gravitational fields of two micro black holes of the same radius frozen at room temperature and orbiting along a binary star.

Its huge energy can not only be used on spacecraft, but also in various fields that require huge amounts of energy.

To put it bluntly, this is a revolutionary breakthrough in the field of power.

Inside the R&D base, several scientific researchers working there looked at the huge power reactor in front of them with fascinated eyes, as if they were looking at a peerless beauty.

"The energy power of the retraction furnace is really too great. I think the original spacecraft can be upgraded..."

"The energy released by tens of thousands of nuclear-powered aircraft carriers is not as good as the retreat furnace. The weapons we develop in the future will use the retreat furnace as an energy source to extend..."

"But the retraction furnace is so large, it can only extend large weapons, right?"

A general in military uniform with gray hair on his temples looked at the huge retreat furnace in front of him. He touched his beard on his chin and looked at Duan Mulian who was surrounded by Phoenix at the side, and said:

“Can the de-stressing furnace be miniaturized in the future?”

As soon as he finished speaking, most of the researchers who heard him looked at him as if he was stupid.

This energy power is so superior that it can crush the retreat furnace of any power plant on Earth. So what if it is a little bigger?

Its size is completely negligible nowadays, and even if it can be miniaturized, it will probably be in the distant future.

They have all overcome the most difficult stage, so why are they in such a hurry?

"It's possible in the future. We have already achieved it from zero to one. The rest will be left to future generations to handle."

Duan Mulian calmly took off her glasses from her nose and wiped them, then responded indifferently.

His meaning was very clear. The most difficult part, creating something from nothing, had already been overcome by them. The rest could be done by others in a step-by-step manner.

"Yeah, I hope there will be talents like Dr. Duanmu in the future."

The general knew that he was asking too much, but he subconsciously felt that Duanmulian could do it.

After all, this young man has greatly accelerated the progress of the Earth's escape plan, and all the research he led has been perfectly cracked by him.

The scientific researchers in the entire base are very impressed by this emerging young doctor.

Although the other party has a cold temperament, he is very capable.

Ever since she started working, everyone's impression of Duanmu Lian is that she is a workaholic who forgets to eat and sleep.

Although he was actually just distracting himself, in the eyes of others he was a capable and hardworking person.

"The next thing we need to solve is the spacecraft's engine, right?"

Duanmu Lian looked at the serious old general and asked what her next job would be.

The three Phoenix girls who were transferred from the 703 Institute to serve as his assistants also looked at each other.

These three silver-haired beauties were also taken in by Duanmulian and secretly joined Phoenix's independent activities.

Now they just want to help humans finish what they should do as soon as possible, and then completely break away from human society.

The outstanding contribution made in work can be regarded as repaying the kindness of mankind for creating Phoenix.

"Engine? No need to worry for now, Dr. Duanmu."

Hearing that Duanmulian had no intention of resting and was ready to get down to the next step of work, the old general was really afraid that this national treasure would suddenly die young.

After all, Duanmu Lian's achievements are so outstanding.

In addition to his outstanding achievements in the field of mechanical engineering, he also solved the problem of food shortage in the country in his spare time, created compressed nutritional capsules, and used gene editing to create all kinds of incredible and incredibly nutritious delicious foods.

The whole world is now in turmoil over food and resource issues, but there are no more people starving to death due to famine in the Celestial Empire.

Everyone who can eat enough and have access to new and delicious food knows Duanmu Lian.

To put it bluntly, although Phoenix and a group of scientific researchers are precious in China, in the eyes of the Chinese parliamentarians in the unified government, Duanmulian is their treasure.

After all, a unified government is formed by the union of multiple countries, but it is more like a federation than a unification.

The only difference is that the fight between countries has turned into a fight between people sitting at the same table.

Although everyone is working hard for the continuation of human civilization, due to differences in race, culture, world views, etc., everyone holds back on outsiders.

Talent is the most important strategic resource, so the unified government attaches great importance to the management and security of talent.

“Has the engine development been taken over by someone else?”

Hearing the old general's words, Duan Mu Lian pushed up her glasses on the bridge of her nose and said with a chuckle.

Hearing this, the old general also showed a bitter smile on his face, and he said:

"You are too tall a tree to attract attention. Many people in the government and military think that you can also make great achievements in other areas. The members of the Bald Eagle Congress have protested to us several times. We also need you in other places."

"Hehe, why, are they jealous?"

"How can they not be jealous? Currently, our Tianchao region is relatively stable, so they are naturally dissatisfied."

Now, because of the destroyed star, the earth's magnetic field is disordered, large areas of land have suffered irreversible damage, and food and resources are in short supply.

Especially populous countries such as China and India are the most affected by such incidents.

However, because Duanmulian solved the famine problem, people in other areas of the unified government were unhappy.

We are all wearing the same pair of pants, so why is it that only your crotch area has no shit?

Therefore, the Celestial Empire forces within the unified government, as their situation improved, were wanted to be dragged down by other people who were in a worse situation.

Those who opposed the Earth Escape Plan and the political enemies of the Celestial Empire have launched countless assassination attempts and attacks on Duanmulian.

Thinking of this, the old general took Duan Mulian and the three Phoenixes to the empty office, and then said to them with a serious face:

"The recent situation in the unified government is not favorable to us. Although we want to celebrate the success of the power device, this base is no longer safe. Doctor, you need to move."

The success of the retreat furnace will definitely stimulate those forces that oppose the Earth's escape plan. Even within the unified government, there is not unity from top to bottom.

Also because of Duanmulian's selfless work that diverted his attention, he had already made enemies everywhere.

However, all these aspects are under the control of Benjo Erya, so he doesn't need to worry too much.

"This is really troublesome. Where should I transfer it to? You also have to keep it a secret from me, right?"

This is the question on the surface, but Duanmu Lian had already been informed of the information in advance by Honjo Niya.

During the time in this world, although Duanmulian never left the Celestial Empire, he secretly controlled the situation in the entire world.

Many Phoenixes died 'accidentally' due to traitors from the Resistance and the Unification Army, but they were all transferred to Phoenix groups that were carrying out independent activities.

Today, the Phoenixes that received assistance from Duanmulian have been transferred to a planet 26,000 light-years away from the solar system and are thriving.

Although there are still thousands of Phoenixes on Earth, there are already tens of thousands of Phoenixes on distant planets who are busy with their own civilizations.

"It's not some strange place. It's the birthplace of Phoenix, the 703 Research Institute."

Duanmulian showed no expression when she heard the old general's words.

But the three Phoenixes beside him, Suzune, Miyuki, and Elena, had a gleam in their calm eyes after hearing about the 703 Institute.

After all, that was where the three of them studied and lived together when they were young. It would be a lie to say that they didn't miss it.

"I remember that was the research institute of Dr. Shingyoji, the actual advocate of the Earth Escape Plan, who pursued elegant aristocratic tastes?" Duanmulian's eyes showed a hint of interest.

To those who don't know him, Shingyoji Hatsu is just Phoenix's father.

In the eyes of those who know him a little, he is just a weirdo who built a house on an isolated island surrounded by sea and stayed there all his life to do research.

After all, it is strange for a scientist to seek elegance in the space he lives in.

But in Duanmulian's eyes, he is a genius scientist in genetic engineering, and also an old father who has been atoning for his sins and torturing himself for the rest of his life.

"A few months ago, Dr. Shingyoji Hatsu died due to excessive research, and the 703 Institute is now under the management of the Unified Army."

The old general stated a fact that made the three Phoenix girls present look sad.

The scientist who contributed to the continuation of human civilization died, and the father of the Phoenixes also died.

No matter in which aspect, it is something to be regretted and sad.

"Doctor, you have made great contributions. Don't work so hard that you forget to eat and sleep and ignore your health."

The old general looked at Duanmulian seriously. He didn't want her to end up like Zhenxing Sichu, who hurt his body by over-researching.

Duanmulian has a considerable say both in scientific research and in politics.

For the entire Celestial Empire, the other party is an existence that can soothe people's hearts.

"Oh."

Duan Mulian's expression was calm and indifferent, and she just responded to the other party.

He has been in need of diverting his attention lately, and he cannot rest even if you ask him to.

The excruciating pain from his inner world had made him unable to close his eyes once since he broke through the state of "no thought".

However, he can enter a state of deep tranquility during exercise, and can also use the power of magnetic fields and other means to keep himself awake without any problems.

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

The island where the 703 Institute is located is an artificial island.

The area is not too large. It is just an island that is about to be submerged by sea water. After filling it with more sand and concrete, an airport and some defense equipment were built, and the only thing left is the area occupied by the mansion.

There is nothing interesting to see in the scenery. All you can see is the sea, or the small hills and buildings on the island.

But Shion doesn't like this island, and she doesn't like the mansion that only has cold data.

She was as small as a child, and she raised her hand to gently stroke the bulletproof glass, looking through the window at the scenery outside that she was already familiar with, her calm eyes were full of longing and desire.

This posture is just like a little princess imprisoned in an ancient castle, but more like a caged bird longing for freedom.

But it's no wonder she's so eager.

Because she has never left this mansion since she was born.

The children in Phoenix are trained in different levels according to the results of intelligence tests, and Shion's initial level was the lowest, E.

She was in a daze all day long, making it difficult to understand her thoughts. She had no interest in study or interpersonal relationships. She always looked at the sea and sky outside the window of the institute, so she was judged to be of no use to the Earth escape plan.

Raising a Phoenix is ​​a huge expense, and educating it also requires manpower and time, so useless things must be disposed of.

The first person to be taken away was Shion herself.

She would have met a very bad fate, but someone stood in the way of the researcher who was about to take her away.

That person is Erica, Shion's sister.

Erica had already been assigned to work in the laboratory and had the right to choose an assistant.

Seeing Shion trapped by a cruel fate, she didn't want to abandon her, so she offered to let Shion be her assistant.

It was because of this that Shiyin was spared.

At the same time, after Shion, the other Phoenixes who should have been taken away were kept back by Erica using various methods.

Not a single remaining Phoenix was 'dealt with'.

This was the gift that Shingyoji Hatsu left to Erica before his death, and it was also a political deal.

He worked day and night, even to the point of ruining his own research, all in the hope of obtaining a little more secure treatment for his daughters.

Even if they still cannot obtain human rights and will be controlled and monitored by humans, at least they will not be treated too badly.

But he really couldn't do anything about Phoenix in other places.

"Shion, it's time for lunch."

At this time, Erica, who was wearing a white work uniform, opened the door and walked into the room with a plate in her hand. Looking at her sister who was staring at the scenery outside the window in a daze, she said softly:
