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

Kurumi Tokisaki understood what Duanmu Lian meant, and her expression became serious and complicated.

After all, what are the odds of encountering someone in another world who can also travel between worlds?

Moreover, the ability to travel between worlds... couldn't help but remind Kurumi Tokisaki of chat groups.

They traveled through time using a chat group, while Duanmu Lian herself also has other means of traveling through worlds, such as Planeswalker powers, dimensional magic, and the Aurora Veil.

Being able to travel between worlds proves that one is definitely not ordinary.

When two people who can also travel between worlds meet, Kurumi Tokisaki has no idea what will happen.

"Similar, but different; they are more like [Reincarnators]."

Duanmu Lian glanced at the information about the group of people recorded in the Book of Omniscience, and shook her head with a solemn expression.

"A reincarnator?"

Nia Honjo, Kurumi Tokisaki, and Ryuu all looked somewhat confused upon hearing this term.

They could understand time travelers, but what did "reincarnators" mean?

Does reincarnation refer to the continuous repetition of the same thing?

In response, Duanmu Lian directly conveyed the concepts of the Primordial Terror and the Infinite Flow to everyone present through the Book of Omniscience.

The term "infinite flow" refers to something that is "all-encompassing," meaning it contains an infinite number of elements.

It encompasses science, religion, mythology, legends, history, reality, movies, anime, games, and more, and transcends them. Only a worldview that includes all of these can be considered an infinite flow.

"The authors from China have such wild imaginations."

After learning what a reincarnator was, Nia Honjo's eyes lit up and her face was full of admiration.

After all, there is no such genre of light novels in Japan, as the copyright issues alone are troublesome enough.

"Is now the time to be concerned about this!?"

Kurumi Tokisaki rolled her eyes at Nia Honjou, the otaku girl.

After learning about the concepts of Primordial Infinity and Reincarnators, she already knew how troublesome it would be to encounter such beings.

In her opinion, reincarnators are more difficult to deal with than time travelers.

After all, who knows how powerful the 'main god' or 'reincarnation space' behind the other party is?

"There's no need to be so nervous. At least I can confirm that they won't unlock their genes, nor are they from the Primordial Infinite Reincarnation Space."

Although Duanmu Lian did not obtain all the information about that group from the Book of Omniscience,

But just from the 'reincarnation point' and 'mission' mentioned in their conversation, as well as the fact that they didn't have watches on their wrists, he guessed that the other party was not from the reincarnation space he remembered.

If it were that world, he would have to retreat with Tokisaki Kurumi and Ryuzu for the time being, and then make further plans later.

after all---

“I’ve always wanted to go to that world and give it a try.”

Duanmu Lian's tone was filled with obvious longing, after all, the benefits that could be obtained from the Infinite Terror World were simply too great.

Especially the gene lock; with it, every generation of Duanmu Lian, if she doesn't die, can become a powerful being in a short time.

It requires no resources, no comprehension, and no time; all it takes is a lot of hard work, which suits Duanmu Lian quite well.

The hardships of the past and the glory of the present are all achieved by overcoming life and death.

Moreover, the gene lock is highly compatible, fitting with various systems and unleashing power beyond its limits.

Therefore, although the world of Infinite Terror is very dangerous, it is the world that [Duanmu Lian] has always dreamed of.

"Duanmu-kun, you really are... fearless..."

Hearing that Duanmu Lian really wanted to go to that extremely dangerous world, Tokisaki Kurumi really wanted to say, "Aren't you afraid of danger?"

“Fearless? How could that be? I’m afraid too.” Duanmu Lian shook her head, turned to look at Tokisaki Kurumi, and said, “It’s just that, like you, Kurumi, I’ve experienced a lot of danger and death, and I’ve gotten used to it.”

"......"

Kurumi Tokisaki and Nia Honjou remained silent about this.

The former knew what Duanmu Lian was referring to: the fear and pain brought by death, which Tokisaki Kurumi had indeed experienced countless times.

She believed that she had killed someone, so she deserved to be killed as well.

She had a clear memory of every clone being killed.

Having experienced the Eternal Abyss, Honjou Nia knew just how vast Duanmu Lian's 'past and past' were.

His past stories, even if drawn into comics or written into novels, could not be fully depicted even at the end of the universe.

Being by Duanmu Lian's side made Honjou Nia feel as if she were witnessing some kind of mythological epic.

Each generation of Duanmu Lian has a different personality, but in terms of willpower, they are all so tenacious that they are twisted and crazy.

Forward, ever forward, forward by any means necessary.

Even if I die, falling halfway down the road, please let the new 'me' step over my corpse and continue forward, to witness what the end looks like.

"Kurumi, I originally planned to find a suitable world for you to ascend to godhood, but I'm going to take action against these guys and check their backgrounds. You don't need to get involved in this..."

Duanmu Lian told Tokisaki Kurumi her plans and that she intended to send her to a suitable world before returning to this one.

After all, Kurumi Tokisaki doesn't have to get involved in such dangerous things, and he doesn't expect her to do such dangerous things with him.

If a fight really breaks out with those people, he's not confident he can guarantee Kurumi Tokisaki's safety.

Although it sounded like a good offer for Kurumi Tokisaki, she shook her head and refused.

"...I refuse, Duanmu-kun. Does the way you're sending me away mean you think I'm a burden?"

"No, it's just that I feel you don't need to do such dangerous things with me."

"I simply wanted to stay and help out. Just like Duanmu Jun said before, I've experienced a lot of danger and death, so I've gotten used to it."

"OK then."

Duanmu Lian was straightforward and decisive. After hearing Tokisaki Kurumi's resolute words, she didn't say anything more.

However, for the sake of the next operation, he needs Kurumi Tokisaki to temporarily follow orders.

By the way, just to be on the safe side, Duanmu Lian needs to request some equipment from the interior of the space to make things easier.

.........

Xianjin Post Station.

It sounds like a city, but it is essentially a place where people make a living from heavy industries such as iron making and steam engines.

Most of the "Shunjo" ships that cruise around various parts of Japan are produced and prepared at Kenkin Station.

Therefore, the flow of people into and out of Juncheng at Xianjin Station was very frequent, and the risk of them entering through Kabane was also relatively high.

It has steel walls, but the interior is filled with incongruous wooden houses and residences.

The Iron Fortress, where the Reincarnation Apostles resided, entered the Manjin Station in the morning.

Their ultimate goal is to kill Amaterasu Mima, and to get closer to their target, they need to keep a close eye on Mumei.

Meanwhile, Duanmu Lian and the others had already entered Xianjin Post Station ahead of time.

"Duanmu-jun, what are your plans to do about those people?"

At this moment, in a very old Japanese house in the Kenkin Station, Tokisaki Kurumi, dressed in a relatively clean kimono, sat on the tatami mat.

The outfit on her body was all created by manipulating the transformation of her spirit armor.

Liu Zi, standing beside me, is also temporarily dressed in the clothes worn by women of this era.

"Let's test the waters first. Once we've determined their strength, I'll take action myself and see if any other reincarnators will appear."

Her battle armor transformed into a light blue kimono. Duanmu Lian sat cross-legged on the tatami mat, holding the Book of Omniscience and keeping a close eye on the movements of the group of reincarnators who entered Xianjin Station.

Judging from their plans, they intend to lie low temporarily, follow Wuming closely, and use him as a stepping stone to find Tianniao Meima.

"Well, apart from their weapons and superb physical abilities, they haven't really shown any supernatural powers."

Honjou Nia's voice emanated from the Book of Omniscience in Duanmu Lian's hands.

It's necessary to investigate their background, but I personally feel that those people might not be very strong, at least not strong enough for Duanmu Lian to take them seriously.

"Sixty-two kilometers away from Xianjin Station, one of the Kabaneri fortresses, 'Fusang Castle,' has been captured by the Kabane. They are expected to storm Xianjin Station tonight, at which point we can see what they are really made of."

Duanmu Lian closed the Book of Omniscience, then lifted the prepared food seasonings beside her and poured them into the iron pot hanging above the coal pit.

A delicate and refreshing fragrance wafted slowly from the iron pot.

Ryuu picked up a porcelain bowl and began to serve the fragrant soup from the pot. Honjou Nia and Shuhime also manifested their spirits from the Book of Omniscience and took their own portions to savor.

"It looks like a lot of people are going to die."

Kurumi Tokisaki sighed softly as she picked up the porcelain bowl, then began to savor the fragrant soup in it, taking small sips.

"Don't drink it... Little San San, don't misunderstand. This isn't something Duanmu Jun did, but something that will inevitably happen in the future."

Honjou Nia was savoring the explosively delicious soup with her eyes slightly narrowed when she opened them after hearing Tokisaki Kurumi's words, and corrected her with a very serious expression.

She thought that Tokisaki Kurumi misunderstood that Duanmu Lian had used the Book of Omniscience to cause the massacre of the city, but in reality, she had just observed an inevitable future.

"What kind of nickname is 'Little Third Sister'? Please be more serious when it comes to how you address people."

Kurumi Tokisaki glared at Nia Honjou with a displeased expression, but she also subtly glanced at the calm-looking Lian Duanmu.

After all, she also knew that the Book of Omniscience, which was derived from the Book of Whispers, had the function of recording the future.

By writing something on a blank page of the Book of Omniscience, one can turn what is written into reality.

If Niya hadn't said anything, Kurumi would have really thought that Duanmu Lian had used this ability.

However, Duanmu Lian doesn't care about her opinion or attitude towards him. If necessary, he will use her without any scruples.

"Then I'll call you Little Madman. I... someone's getting closer."

Honjou Nia quickly pulled up the book princess who was still sipping soup with her eyes half-closed, and together they transformed into spirit particles and entered the Book of Omniscience.

The next moment, the door to the house was pushed open.
