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

She looked Duanmu Lian up and down, thinking she was some kind of powerful ancient dragon before they met.

However, the other party could also be an ancient dragon in human form, since powerful dragon species have the ability to transform into human form, and the Storm Dragon itself can do so as well.

Thinking of this, Lanlong immediately conveyed his meaning to Duanmu Lian.

This is my territory, get out of here!

"I'll only be staying for a short time; this is a gift for you."

Duanmu Lian was able to negotiate with the other party in a polite manner because she did not want to kill the ancient dragon casually.

After all, ancient dragons are very precious and are also my valuable assets. There might be a time in the future when I need to use materials from them.

He took out a mountain of Kaera crocodile meat from his spatial ring, which was already roasted and seasoned with Melk Star.

After reaching a high level in martial arts cultivation, one must abstain from grains in order to cleanse the body of impurities and residues.

After absorbing the nutrients his body needs from food, his body also needs a lot of vital energy to cleanse the impurities in the food and keep his body clean, thus wasting his vital energy.

Duanmu Lian's physique is already evolving to a higher level, like the various strange traits in fantasy novels.

Therefore, he needs to eat and drink well during this process.

The meat of the Kayla crocodile was no longer enough for Duanmu Lian's body; it was like coarse grains to him.

He needs to be very selective about the food; these are all things he doesn't want.

"Roar?"

Lanlong originally wanted to roar and howl with a defiant air, but after smelling that incredibly delicious aroma, he was slightly unable to roar.

Looking at the fragrant roasted meat, Lanlong wanted to say disdainfully, "Take your stuff and get out of here."

But her honest body stopped her from doing so; her body's reaction told her that eating those foods would be good for her.

Silently watching the food, Lanlong gradually calmed the storm he had summoned.

It then landed not far from Duanmu Lian, glanced at her, and then picked up a large piece of meat and swallowed it.

The fact that she ate it meant that she agreed to Duanmu Lian's request.

Seeing this, Duanmu Lian nodded in satisfaction and turned to leave, but was blocked by Lanlong's flying membrane.

"What?"

Duanmu Lian turned her head away somewhat unhappily. She had already eaten his flesh, what more did he want?

If things go too far, he'll have no choice but to beat the other person up and drive them away.

"Hoo hoo hoo (This isn't enough, give me more!)!"

Lanlong chewed the meat in his mouth and conveyed his meaning to Duanmu Lian.

She agreed to the deal, but wanted more meat.

After eating the meat, Lanlong felt comfortable all over and wanted more.

"Here you go, you fat bastard from Tianjin!"

Duanmu Lian chuckled and threw all the remaining Kayla crocodile meat from her spatial ring to Lanlong.

He then turned around and went straight into the base to adjust the equipment.

A huge pile of meat was thrown at Lanlong, but Lanlong wasn't angry.

Instead, he was annoyed by Duanmu Lian's words, "You fat Tianjin scourge, you'll die of obesity," and he growled at the other person.

It's easy to guess that there was also an element of cursing in that shout.

Chapter Sixty-One: Analysis and Creation of Spirit Crystals

After discussing it with Lanlong, Duanmu Lian began her enjoyable research.

Turning the unknown into the known is always so pleasant.

There are only two things that need to be studied: one is Tokisaki Kurumi and her spirit crystal, and the other is the manifestation device that the other party brought.

The first thing we studied was the display device.

To be honest, the technology behind the display device isn't very advanced; its most crucial element is simply the [Free Domain].

Besides being used in combat, display devices also have significant applications in various fields.

What Duanmu Lian most wanted to know was how the display device could reproduce the calculation results on the computer in the real world, completely distorting the laws of reality.

The Realm of Freedom, as the name suggests, is a realm where one can do whatever one pleases.

It is a special space created by the display device, which can realize different functions according to the user's wishes, and its nature changes with the user's wishes.

The stronger the user's willpower and the more focused their energy, the higher the precision and intensity of their random domain.

but.......

"In the end, it was just a clumsy imitation of the [prototype], no, it can only be described as an electricity-stealing device."

Having spent the entire night thoroughly studying the display device, Duanmu Lian removed the self-made device from her head and sighed, offering this assessment.

He has already uncovered the secret of the display device.

He had already grasped half of the principles of the random realm, this special space.

However, this half already constitutes the entirety of the [Free Domain].

After all, the "Free Domain" that allows one to do whatever one wants is essentially an imitation and utilization of the second angel of the Primal Spirit, Mio Takamiya, the Paradise of Reincarnation.

Within the Paradise of Reincarnation, Mio Takamiya can modify all rules and laws, making her almost omnipotent.

Duanmu Lian had just tested the [Free Domain] that the display device had deployed and immediately discovered a major flaw.

That is, the required computing power is too much and too enormous, and the consumption is disproportionate to the gains, making it a losing proposition.

The computing power required to manufacture even a simple water cup is beyond the reach of modern computers.

Duanmu Lian didn't know how much brainpower the magicians in Date A Live were capable of, but he was certain they couldn't compare to his current abilities.

Even someone like him, who has expanded his brain to a great extent, can only create a water cup by consuming enormous computing power. How can they accomplish all sorts of extraordinary feats?

There's only one answer: the other party definitely cheated.

【The Realm of Freedom】is an imitation of 【The Paradise of Reincarnation】, and the display device is probably an accelerator that connects to the external network of the Paradise of Reincarnation, or you could say it's software that steals Wi-Fi.

The Paradise of Reincarnation is the "Neighborhood" in Date A Live, which is a massive world on the scale of Earth.

The neighboring world is separated from the real world by only a thin membrane.

The magicians in Date A Live were able to repair the damage caused by spacequakes so easily and do all sorts of incredible things.

In essence, it still relies on the power of the Primal Spirit [Reincarnation Paradise].

By merely using the manifestation device to borrow a small portion of the power of the Paradise of Reincarnation, one can perform miracles in the mortal world that are akin to magic.

After all, the Paradise of Reincarnation possesses the complete power to modify the present world. Magicians only need to borrow the Paradise of Reincarnation through the manifestation device to create their own domain of freedom.

Duanmu Lian speculated that the reason why the elves could trigger the incredibly powerful [Spacequake] with just their spiritual power was probably because the neighboring realm, namely the [Reincarnation Paradise], was involved.

"Your mother will always be your mother."

Thinking of how Chonggong Mio so readily handed over the split of her power in the story, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but chuckle.

This is similar to the hierarchical relationship between God and His own sense of touch in the world of God.

The power that allows the spirits to act so arrogantly all originates from Mio Takamiya; they are merely her senses used to achieve her goals.

Kurumi Tokisaki, who came from Yukumo Village with Ryuu, had a very strange expression on her face after hearing Duanmu Lian's explanation of the manifestation device.

The thought that those guys who opposed the elves were using power that was essentially part of the elven power themselves made her feel incredibly ironic.

Whether they are elves, humans, or magicians, they are all just pawns in a series of conspiracies.

"I feel that my situation is quite similar to Duanmu Jun's."

Kurumi Tokisaki sighed helplessly; being used as a pawn was not a pleasant feeling at all.

Now that she sees everything clearly, she feels that her situation is quite similar to Duanmu Lian's.

"Hehe, I want to laugh at this joke. Our enemies are indeed all love-struck."

Upon hearing Kurumi Tokisaki's words, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but chuckle softly.

After all, Mio Takamiya and Mercury Serpent are quite similar in some ways.

It's all because of "love" that the whole world has been turned into a tool to achieve one's goals.

However, Tokisaki Kurumi is one of the main tools, while Duanmu Lian is merely a tool of a tool.

In terms of circumstances, Duanmu Lian is in a much worse situation than Tokisaki Kurumi.

"Alright, I'm going to start my research experiment on the spirit crystal. Could you please call out three clones to assist me, Liu Zi?"

Duanmu Lian threw out a spatial capsule, which opened, and a monster resembling an octopus with a huge head and a single eye appeared in the experimental base.

Kurumi Tokisaki's eyes twitched slightly when she saw the bizarre octopus-like tentacle monster.

However, following Duanmu Lian's request, he summoned three clones from the shadow and picked up various unfamiliar devices as instructed.

However, Tokisaki Kurumi herself, who was the test subject, became somewhat hesitant at this moment.

Because Duanmu Lian demanded that she take off all her clothes and lie on the experimental table.

"1. Is it absolutely necessary to be completely naked?"

Kurumi Tokisaki's delicate, fair face flushed a beautiful blush, and she looked at Duanmu Lian, who was holding a cutting knife, with a pitiful expression in her eyes.

The three clones who were responsible for acting as assistants also became shy.

After all, they have a considerable psychological barrier to being naked in front of men.

"With this level of awareness, you dare to talk about revenge?"

Duanmu Lian's expression was as expressionless as a zombie's, her eyes were deep and calm, but she let out a disdainful sneer.

However, he was willing to give Tokisaki Kurumi some face.
