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

"This Princess Kaguya...you...she...."

"Don't misunderstand, I only love Eirin."

Before Duanmu Lian could finish speaking, Xian Dao Lian chuckled and embraced Yagokoro Eirin's slender waist. He then kissed Eirin's fair, jade-like cheek, glancing at Houraisan Kaguya with disdain, and said:

"She's just a member of Yonglin's family, a troublesome pet in this household that needs to be taken care of."

Xian Daolian didn't have a harem. Although his current personality is different from the original Duanmu Lian, some of his essential qualities remain.

In matters of the heart, he is neither greedy nor asks for much, but only for what is suitable.

He admired Eirin Yagokoro's intelligence; they were able to support and need each other, and their relationship was incredibly natural and harmonious.

"Ahem... Princess, that's all you have to do. Don't mind it. People of immortality can easily fall into a state of mental twilight if they don't find something to do."

Eirin Yagokoro blushed slightly. She gently freed herself from the hand that Sendou Ren had placed on her waist, then coughed lightly, speaking up for her pet Kaguya-hime.

Although they are already memory entities, they have lived for a very long time.

Considering the days spent in eternal hell, if they don't find something to do, they'll probably die of boredom.

Kaguya focuses her attention on various aspects such as otaku culture, while Eirin devotes her energy to medicine and pharmaceuticals.

"Understand, understand."

Duanmu Lian nodded. For example, if he had no goals to pursue, simply living would be quite unbearable.

The apostle's conquest and return across eternity, though difficult, terrifying, and despairing, were not bothersome to Duanmu Lian at all.

He needs goals and things that he can dedicate his energy to.

"Alright, let's get down to business. The steps to godhood have been woven, but since they haven't been tested yet, you'll have to solve any problems that may arise yourself."

Sendoh Ren's expression turned serious. Ignoring Honjou Nia and Houraisan Kaguya, who were having a great time playing nearby, he started talking about serious business with Duanmu Lian.

That is, it's about the completely new cultivation system.

Because of the strange changes that occurred in Duanmu Lian, if he wants to ascend to the highest and strongest realm, he can only take the path of seeking the Dao/dominating to godhood in the world of the God Throne.

In response to this, Duanmu Lian and her counterparts in the Eternal Abyss worked together to create a "path" that allowed them to move forward.

If you want to become a God of Seeking the Dao or a God of Domination, well, the cultivation system is optional.

After all, in the world of gods, there are not only half-blood gods who become gods later in life, but also pure-blood gods who are born gods.

Eternal destruction? Demonic transformation?

In the world of God's Throne, some people are born with the power of Tai Chi in their hands, possessing terrifying strength that others cannot match.

Mary was born to seek the God of God.

Mara was born to be a seeker of the truth.

They were all born superhumans.

Fate is never fair; some people dream of reaching Rome, while others are born in Rome.

Moreover, regarding the point of "becoming a god," there is no orthodox cultivation system in the world of the Sixth Heaven, the Great Desire Realm, the Heavenly Dog Path; everyone follows various unorthodox paths.

In the end, once you have the feeling and the sudden enlightenment, you can directly ascend to become a god.

"In the end, the most important thing is still [desire]."

A smile appeared on Duanmu Lian's face; he knew what Xiandao Lian meant.

The cultivation system is secondary; the most crucial element is desire.

Duanmu Lian, who has been corrupted by the domineering, can be said to have a registered residence in the world of gods.

Given the uniqueness of his soul, let alone the destruction of the Eternal Tribulation cultivation, even if he cultivated the immortal cultivation system, as long as he realized his desires, he would definitely not become an immortal in the end, but a god.

"Good that you understand. Just live your own life well, or come and connect with us more often. Here, take this."

Xian Daolian nodded with a kind smile, then took out a small booklet, three inches long and three inches thick, from his sleeve and handed it to Duanmu Lian in front of him.

Duanmu Lian took the booklet and looked down at it, and saw the four large characters "Ruyi Bao Ce" written on it.

"One hundred and eight spells..."

The moment the treasure book was opened, the words recorded within plunged Duanmu Lian into an extremely mysterious world.

The precious book records 108 methods of transformation in Taoism.

The thirty-six major transformations correspond to the number of the Heavenly Dipper, and the seventy-two minor transformations correspond to the number of the Earthly Fiends. They truly possess the wondrous methods of shifting the heavens and changing the constellations, and the wondrous uses of commanding ghosts and driving away gods.

"This is marked with my personal understanding of the above supernatural powers and spells. Spells are easy to learn, but supernatural powers are difficult to master. Remember to learn the supernatural powers and spells that are suitable for you first."

This treasure book was not obtained by Xian Daolian; he was merely its inheritor.

The treasure trove of knowledge contains the Ruyi Treasure Book, but it does not record Duanmu Lian's personal understanding and insights.

During the Eternal Abyss, many Duanmu Lians, and even Yagokoro Eirin who was by his side, learned the above-mentioned spells and supernatural powers.

The Ruyi Baoshu (如意宝册), also known as the Heavenly Book.

It records 108 kinds of spells.

Of course, this is only the stated explanation. Although there are detailed figures, it actually refers to the many magical arts that allow one to perform divine deeds with the physical body, which are far more complex than simply "planting" a seed.

Anyone who has read "Water Margin" and "Journey to the West" knows this.

In Buddhist and Taoist terminology, 108 actually means all or everything.

..........

After breaking free from the great wisdom contained within the Wish-Fulfilling Book, Duanmu Lian went to another memory universe in the Eternal Abyss.

As for Nia Honjou? Let her spend time with Kaguya Houraisan for now.

He doesn't need her right now.

Now, he is going to take over the completed Ascension Staircase.

"It's finally here."

At this moment, in a celestial palace shrouded in mist and clouds.

A large group of memory beings, each with a different appearance and attire, gathered together. Upon seeing Duanmu Lian arrive, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

"Sorry, something came up and I was held up for a moment." Duanmu Lian nodded, then went straight to the point and asked, "Shall we begin the experiment now?"

He wasn't in a hurry at all, but since the new system lacked experimental verification, he naturally had to take the lead.

After all, only I meet the requirements.

Upon hearing this, none of the memory entities intended to waste any more words and were about to get to the point when a voice interrupted them.

"Wait a minute."

Among the group of Duanmu Lians gathered together, a memory entity named Lian, wearing a hat and a tight-fitting outfit, frowned and looked Duanmu Lian up and down before finally asking in a deep voice:

"You recently had your soul divided?"

"...Yes."

A hint of surprise flashed in Duanmu Lian's eyes, but she did not hide it.

Although his soul had been split before, causing him some damage.

However, with the rare and precious materials within the inner space and the Nine Revolutions Life and Death Tribulation Heavenly Technique for cultivating the soul outside, he is now mostly fine.

"Just to be on the safe side, take a look at this [Ascension to Godhood System] first, and then adjust your state before using it."

Upon hearing Duanmu Lian's words, Memory Lotus's tone carried an unquestionable tone.

After all, in countless reincarnations, many of them were unlucky enough to die in experiments, including Duanmu Lian.

Their luck wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either.

"it is good."

Duanmu Lian nodded and agreed immediately.

"then."

One of the memory entities, Lotus, directly threw a golden piece of paper at Duanmu Lian.

Duanmu Lian raised her hand and took it, feeling its weight and realizing that the golden paper was made of an unknown metal.

The gold paper was covered with countless densely packed words on both sides.

Each character is so tiny that a normal person cannot see it clearly without the aid of equipment.

Just one sheet contains tens of thousands of words.

Upon reading the text recorded above, Duanmu Lian felt an extreme demonic and divine power emanating from the Book of Changes.

"A single thought can suffice to define a god or a demon..."

Looking at the contents of the golden book, Duanmu Lian couldn't help but murmur the name of the system.

This system is derived from the essence of "Eternal Destruction" passed down by the Mercury Serpent.

Some people may be curious about the origin of this system.

How did Duanmu Lian, a minor character who isn't even a demon, obtain Eternal Destruction?

It's actually very simple: just get killed by the demon and have your soul eaten.

During World War II, neither the Black Knight Magina nor Reihart, who constituted the soul of Fujii Ren, possessed [Eternal Destruction].

However, after they died on the battlefield, their souls were captured by Reinhardt's Golden Demon Castle and became war slaves of the Asura Path.

At that time, their souls were imprinted with a curse of eternal destruction.

Duanmu Lian, too, had his soul captured by the Golden Asura Path, and was even killed and had his soul devoured by the Red Spider.

Using the chat group, even after being swallowed, he maintained his soul consciousness and secretly recorded the Eternal Destruction.

This is something that Duanmu Lian has done.

After Yuzashirou was killed by Wilhelm of the Black Round Table, he devoured the soul but still maintained his soul consciousness within the other's body.

In the end, he even stole Wilhelm's relic and merged with it, becoming a completely new demon.

In the past, Duanmu Lian had conducted research on the pursuit of the Dao/the path of hegemony.

The Great Secret of Eternal Destruction was something he had obtained countless lifetimes ago and then left to gather dust in his warehouse.
