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

Some time ago, Gureya and Heizela almost died after being injected with experimental dragon blood by Duanmulian.

But in the end, they pulled through.

As for how they managed to get through it, it certainly wasn't through the sisters' own willpower creating a miracle.

Instead, Duanmu Lian captured several Karulas from the Sun God Cult's base and controlled them to sacrifice their lives to rewind time, thus saving the lives of the two half-dragon sisters so that he could continue to repeat the experiment and make mistakes.

Their bodies, which originally only had some dragon-like features, were able to be completely transformed into dragons during the experiment, which was only possible because many of the Saintess of Time, Carla, sacrificed themselves.

"Da da da!"

Just as Duanmu Lian was instructing Heizela to move quickly and tidy up the room, there was a knock on the door.

Duanmu Lian looked towards the door and sensed the presence of the butler, Adelaide: "Please come in."

"Excuse me, sir."

The door opened, and Adelaide's aged but energetic figure walked into the house.

"I apologize for disturbing you, sir. A distinguished guest has arrived at the door and specifically requested to see you, so I have come to inform you."

"The Lize royal family members who left earlier?" Duanmu Lian took off her gloves and threw them into the trash can.

"No, that's not it. The other party claims to be one of the Dragon Slayers of the Sun God Cult and has come to visit you."

Dragon Slayers of the Cult of the Sun God?

What's wrong? Are you here to seek revenge and cause him trouble?

Duanmu Lian subconsciously thought this, but after releasing her senses, she realized that the person outside the door only had a slightly better aura than an ordinary person.

Moreover, there was no one else around except for the other person.

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

Duanmu Lian, flanked by Hezera and Gureya, arrived at the living room and had Adelaide invite the guests in.

As soon as the other person entered the room, Duanmu Lian narrowed her eyes slightly.

The person who appeared in the living room was quite slender and upright, and at first glance it was difficult to tell his gender, but Duanmu Lian could tell at a glance that he was a man.

The other person was wearing a one-piece robe with the sun cross emblem unique to the Sun God Church tattooed on his chest, and a mask with a hollow circle painted on his face.

From Duanmu Lian's perspective, she could only see the lower half of the other person's face.

"It turns out to be you."

Looking at the masked man in front of him, Duanmu Lian remembered that when he fought Yan Shilong, the other party had met him once outside the supergravity field.

"It seems you still remember me."

A pleasant smile curved the corners of Prophet Bayin's mouth beneath his mask. His voice was so androgynous that it was impossible to tell if he was male or female: "I am Prophet Bayin, a Dragon Slayer from the Cult of the Sun God. I have come here with the will of the Cult of the Sun God and invite you to join us as a Dragon Slayer and contribute to the great cause of slaying dragons."

Upon hearing this, Duanmu Lian fell into deep thought.

Invite him to join the Sun God Cult?

Given what he has done recently, why would the Sun God Cult invite him to join their cult instead of trying to defeat and eliminate him?

Duanmu Lian subconsciously thought this way, but then he went on to think about it more deeply.

Considering the Sun God Cult's long-standing battles with the Roaring Blood Clan, and then the sudden appearance of someone who nearly killed the enemy leader... thinking along these lines, Duanmu Lian felt that it was quite normal for the Sun God Cult to invite him to join.

Although the losses caused by Duanmu Lian were enormous, if the Roaring Blood Clan could be eradicated, such a sacrifice would be well worth it in the eyes of the Sun God Cult!

"So that's how it is. You wanted to use me to eliminate the Roaring Blood Clan..."

Coming back to her senses, Duanmu Lian looked coldly at the prophet Bayin Dao before her.

In response, Bayin smiled slightly without denying it and said, "Among the human population, only every few decades or hundreds of years can a top-level expert emerge who can rival a high-ranking dragon. Their special power is described as a divine miracle."

However, their words alone cannot eliminate the dragon race, because these people often fight individually, while there are countless high-ranking dragons. Once they are deemed a threat by the vampires, they will eventually die from exhaustion under the siege.

Therefore, the Cult of the Sun God has gathered these heroes from all over the world together. You have been identified as a threat by the vampires, and the Cult of the Sun God does not want someone as powerful as you to be ambushed by them. That is why they have invited you to join the cult.

Bayin's words were all reasonable and very sincere.

The Sun God Cult did intend to use Duanmu Lian, but even if it was, it would only be mutual exploitation.

The Sun God Cult needs Duanmu Lian's combat power, and at the same time, the Sun God Cult can also help Duanmu Lian avoid being ambushed by the Demon Blood Clan.

Even if it's exploitation, it's mutual exploitation.

As for who can maximize their own interests through mutual exploitation, that depends on their individual abilities.

"...What can you give me?"

After a moment of silence, Duanmu Lian asked this question in return.

The protection of the Sun God Cult?

He doesn't need to. He's already wasted so much time fighting a Roaring Vampire with no results. What kind of protection can he offer?

"It seems there is something to discuss. Please speak directly with the Sun Saint himself. Please wait a moment."

Upon hearing Duanmu Lian's words, Bayin realized that this was a sign that there was room for discussion.

He pulled out a technology terminal belonging to the Sun God Cult and directly contacted the highest leader of the Sun God Cult.

[Is that Bayin? Is there any progress on the matter of the Flame Demon?]

A deep, somber voice came from the terminal.

Upon hearing this, Bayin smiled beneath his mask and said, "Yes, I have already met with him and we are currently discussing the relevant matters. As for the details, I will trouble you to negotiate with him."

As Bayin spoke, he operated the terminal, causing it to project a real-time image directly in front of Duanmu Lian.

At this moment, Duanmu Lian met with the supreme leader of the Sun God Cult, the Sun Saint, through this device.

There was a silence that lasted for nearly ten seconds upon meeting.

"The Sun Saint? He looks more like a demon that crawled out of a scorching hell."

Looking at the Sun Saint in the picture, Duanmu Lian gave this casual evaluation.

Because on the surface, what he said does seem correct.

After all, the appearance of the Sun Saint really does resemble that of a demon.

In the image, a figure completely engulfed in flames sits on a throne.

Duanmu Lian could clearly see that the figure was bound by chains all over its body, and its body in the flames had no flesh and blood, only the appearance of a skeleton.

This is what they call the Sun Saint? It's not fitting at all.

"If I could exterminate all the dragons in the world, I would be more than happy to become a demon."

The Saint of the Sun, Dura Polo Nero, was completely unconcerned about Duanmu Lian's opinion of her appearance.

He advocated for the complete extermination of the dragons, and that any means were justified in the pursuit of victory.

Even someone like the Flame Demon, who caused immense losses to the Sun God Cult, could be won over by him.

Just because the other side can slay dragons!

"I see, so that's your persona... That makes things easier."

Duanmu Lian sensed the unwavering determination to slay dragons that had been tempered by time in the Sun Saint's tone, and she understood the man's foundation, so she went straight to the point:

"Since you need my power to slay dragons, you can also grant me my personal request, right?"

It's not about trying to win them over or whether they'll join or not.

They got straight to the point and talked about practical matters.

Since the Sun God Cult wants to use his power to destroy the dragon, Duanmu Lian needs the other party to offer a price for using his power!

Please state your conditions.

Upon hearing this, the Sun Saint directly instructed Duanmu Lian to state her conditions.

I'm not afraid of Duanmu Lian setting conditions; I'm afraid of him not setting any conditions at all.

This directly demonstrates that communication is possible, and the Sun Saint is not averse to it.

"Your Sun God Cult has existed in the world for a long time, hasn't it? I've recently become very interested in the legendary Silver Comet. I wonder if your cult can find the Silver Comet for me?"

Duanmu Lian has never given up searching for the Silver Comet, but the Silver Comet is a legend so ancient that its existence is unknown, and finding it is not something that can be done overnight.

Therefore, Duanmu Lian tried to find clues about the Silver Comet from the equally ancient Sun God Cult.

A silver comet!?

Upon hearing Duanmu Lian's words, both the Sun Saint and the Prophet Bayin were stunned; they had never expected the other party to make such a request.

"...The Silver Comet. To be honest, besides fighting dragons, our Sun God Cult has never given up searching for the legendary Silver Comet."

After regaining his senses, the Sun Saint spoke in a deep voice to Duanmu Lian.

Silver energy is, after all, something that has a restraining effect on demon bloodlines.

Based on this, the Sun God Cult naturally also believed in the legendary Silver Comet that descended to Earth and brought the silver energy of dragon slaying to this world.

So when he heard that Duanmu Lian wanted the Silver Comet, even the Sun Saint was taken aback.

"That's perfect. As long as you can find the Silver Comet for me, I'll give you the head of the Roaring Vampire Dragon King in exchange, how about that?"

Upon hearing that the ancient Sun God Cult did not possess the Silver Comet, Duanmu Lian neither disbelieved nor fully believed it.

Then, he offered the Dragon King's head as a bargaining chip.

If the Sun God Cult, which is obsessed with slaying dragons, really possessed the Silver Comet, given the Sun Saint's dedication to dragon slaying, he would surely have given it to him.

"We will expand the search team to search for the Silver Comet for you."

The Sun Saint also realized that Duanmu Lian was testing him to see if he possessed the Silver Comet.

To be honest, if he really had it, he would have agreed to give it to Duanmu Lian right now.

After all, the ultimate goal of the Sun God Cult's search for the Silver Comet was to exterminate the dragon.

But the Silver Comet is an inanimate object; it needs someone to use it to destroy the dragon.

In terms of actual value, he is nowhere near as good as Duanmu Lian, who has real dragon-slaying combat power.
