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

Duanmu Lian's consciousness immediately entered the interior space.

Because using either the physical body or the soul at will might expose her, Lian only used her consciousness.

Although the consciousness cannot interfere with anything, there are people within the space that can do things for him.

"Lian? What happened?"

In the interior space, Dalian, who was quietly reading a book, immediately discovered the consciousness of Duanmu Lian in the present world.

She also knew that Duanmu Lian, who was in the interior and exterior scenes, could communicate through a chat group.

The fact that Duanmu Lian from the exterior scenes came here indicates that something happened to Duanmu Lian from the interior scenes.

"It's like this, Dalian..."

Duanmu Lian told Dalian everything that happened to her in this other world.

After hearing this, Dalian's expression was slightly complicated.

"I didn't expect something like this to happen on my first time traveling through the world. According to my plan, when you, who are cultivating supernatural powers, are awakened by some external stimuli and small fragments of memories, it will not have a deep impact on you."

Dalian sighed helplessly. In her mind, Duanmu Lian would awaken her past life memories, but not completely.

Only a few small external stimuli will awaken different fragments of memories that are different from one's own.

Even if they awaken in that way, they will never be overwritten by other memories of themselves.

For Duanmu Lian, who was cultivating and becoming stronger, this was equivalent to an epiphany, and naturally brought many benefits.

But plans can't keep up with changes. Who could have predicted that in the very first world, she would encounter a woman who could stop time and stop Duanmu Lian's time?

This was such a shock that it triggered almost all the taboos associated with Duanmu Lian throughout history.

Fortunately, Dalian had made a backup plan, placing a clone within the Book of Illusions to deal with an out-of-control situation.

Dalian had no intention of harming Duanmu Lian, nor did she intend to scheme against him.

With Duanmu Lian's sensitive mind, knowing the story of "The Forbidden Incantation of the Holy Sword Master", he naturally also knew the most classic "I remember now" plot.

That ability to recall something at a crucial moment is no less powerful than a breakthrough in battle or a sudden burst of brilliance.

This was Duanmu Lian's guess about Dalian's idea of ​​recommending this cultivation system to him, so he didn't blame Dalian at all.

"Who would have thought we'd run into a landmine in the very first world... Oh well, these kinds of things can happen anytime soon, so it's probably better this happened early."

Dalian shook her head and said nothing more.

She immediately went to the place where the treasures were stored and brought Duanmu Lian what he wanted.

Duanmu Lian immediately transmitted the items to her other world via the chat group.

After doing all that, Duanmu Lian wanted to return to reality.

After all, he is not suited to stay here. Even if the chances of others discovering his abnormality are small, it doesn't mean there's no chance at all.

However, just as Duanmu Lian was about to return to reality, Dalian suddenly called out to him.

"lotus......"

"what?"

"...Are you afraid of being alone...?"

"...I'm used to it."

When asked about Dalian's problem, Duanmu Lian didn't say she wasn't afraid, but rather that she was used to it.

Upon hearing this reply, Dalian was momentarily stunned.

She had asked this question to Duanmu Lian, the one who had taken her away from her world, and also to the Duanmu Lian she had fallen in love with.

As a result, their answer was exactly the same as Duanmu Lian's now.

Perhaps all Duanmu Lians would give this answer.

In her memory, she had seen Duanmu Lian quietly doing her own thing.

It can take anywhere from a hundred years to a thousand years.

He was always busy, either cultivating, going into seclusion, or focusing intently on something.

That was her first impression of Duanmu Lian.

The second one, after experiencing the initial period of obsession and confusion, also became like the Duanmu Lian of before.

Recalling her past memories, Dalian knew that it was because she was afraid of being alone that she took the initiative to approach Duanmu Lian.

Compared to her past loneliness as the Black Reading Princess, Duanmu Lian, struggling and resisting the eternal return, is far more lonely.

Including Duanmu Lian now.

Before she knew it, she had already experienced the story of three generations of Duanmu Lian.

So, looking at Duanmu Lian standing up again after the previous Demon God Lian fell, Dalian felt a sense of relief.

Your story is about to begin...

But I need to put an end to 'his' story... after all, I'm the female protagonist in his story.

so......

"Lian... I sincerely wish you well. I hope you can meet someone to walk alongside you on the road ahead, and I hope the loneliness you've grown accustomed to can stay away from you."

Looking at Duanmu Lian, who was standing not far away with a surprised expression, Dalian's delicate face broke into a bright smile.

Her tone was filled with tenderness, blessings, and unwavering love.

She truly hoped that a female protagonist, Ke Chang, would come into Duanmu Lian's story to dispel the loneliness that surrounded him.

“Dalian, you…uh….”

Having received blessings, especially from a girl who holds a certain place in her heart, Duanmu Lian should have been happy.

However, a very ominous premonition arose in his heart.

A stale current seemed to pass through his soul, causing a double image of Dalian to appear before his eyes.

It was as if different figures were superimposed on Dalian, as if someone had once used a similar tone to bless her, just like Dalian had.

“Once the other you comes back, you can go through that door.”

Dalian immediately noticed that something was wrong with Duanmu Lian. She was very familiar with that state; it was a sense of déjà vu.

Recalling what she had just said, and thinking about what was behind that door, a cryptic smile appeared on her face.

Once outside the interior space, Duanmu Lian still couldn't understand what the sense of déjà vu that arose from Dalian's blessing truly meant.

I didn't understand what the smile on the other person's face meant.

However, not long afterward...

The other self returned to the interior of the space, and after entering the door, the truth was revealed.

...........

The world of Dragon Hunters.

On the surface of the moon, in a base located within a crater.

Snap, Snap, Snap...

In a high-tech room, a person with long crimson hair and wearing a large tricorn hat, whose gender is unclear, is operating a device.

The other party was reviewing the intelligence gathered by their subordinates on the projection screen in front of them.

The intelligence report stated that a border town of a certain kingdom had suffered an unexplained and devastating attack, resulting in a massive crater 30,000 feet deep.

That place is where the Solar Armor spread.

The Cult of the Sun had already sent people to investigate and make contact, but 99% of the several Karula clones sent there were killed, with only one outstanding individual surviving and returning to the Cult of the Sun.

"Where has Kirzia been...?"

Those who couldn't tell if it was a man or a woman were suddenly stunned when they saw the information at the bottom.

Intelligence reports indicate that when Princess Laksha of the Royal Family went to investigate a border town, she encountered the King of Minions, whose troops suffered heavy casualties.

The fact that the King of Minions appeared there immediately made the person who was looking at the intelligence look rather grim.

"Click~"

At that moment, the door to the room suddenly opened, and a young man walked in. Looking at the person reviewing intelligence in the room, he said, "Lady Crimson, here's the latest intelligence: a suspicious light source has appeared on the American continent, and it's almost like sunlight."

"Aha?"

The man called Crimson's expression changed instantly. He immediately started operating the control panel in front of him and switched the view to Earth, locking onto the Americas.

Upon closer inspection, a suspicious light source was indeed present.

Moreover, it is a light source that approximates sunlight.

Recalling the previous intelligence, Crimson immediately became restless and stood up to give the order:

"Grom, lock onto the coordinates of the Americas, American ruins - Statue of Liberty!"

Okay~~

Crimson immediately left the room and came to a room that projected the Earth, a room with only one door in the very center.

And that door is a teleportation portal.

This room, or rather this space, is an alternate dimension, a transit station.

With clear coordinates, it is entirely possible to quickly reach any location on Earth.

At that moment, Crimson took out the key, opened the door in front of him, and went inside to reach his destination.

"Woooooo~~~~"

A gust of bleak wind blew by, stirring up a large cloud of dust.

Reflected in her crimson eyes was a desolate and ravaged ruin.

There is no sunlight here, and you can't see any sunlight at all.
