Your Lord Has A Screw Loose?

Chapter 90: Chapter 90: Crimson Source

?

The next day, Qin Muye brought along specially made storage containers and a hundred Evangelical Spirit Monsters using the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel to arrive at the heart of the Red Wind Calamity, which was a vast basin carrying the Crimson Flame.

He had originally planned to wait for Tian Qi's return and have him accompany him, but unfortunately, time waits for no one, so he had to take the risk alone.

Fortunately, the journey was smooth and without incident, since he had directly transported there.

Watching the swaying Crimson Flames, Qin Muye cautiously had the Evangelical Spirit Monsters help him gather them.

Cautious, indeed. If the Evangelical Spirit Monsters died, he could just have Tian Qi train more, but if Qin Muye died, that would be the end of it.

However, Qin Muye had also made preparations for both possibilities. According to his estimate, the improved container could last about ten seconds to a minute. The reason for such a broad range was that Qin Muye didn't know the intensity of the Crimson Flame, so he could only make an estimate.

One hand prepared to collect the Crimson Flame; naturally, the other was ready to operate the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel. At any sign of trouble, Qin Muye would immediately flee.

There is no harm in being cautious.

Nevertheless, things went very smoothly. After all, he had prepared for so long; as long as the data was correct, accidents were almost impossible.

Carefully receiving the container passed by the Evangelical Spirit Monsters, Qin Muye decisively stashed it in his inventory.

[Crimson Source: The Origin of the Crimson Element]

"Let's go, back home," Qin Muye immediately activated the Super Space-Time Transmission Channel, taking the Evangelical Spirit Monsters back to his territory and then performed a series of actions such as sterilization and sealing of the Crimson Element.

After taking the Crimson Source, Red Wind Calamity should no longer occur. However, the dispersed Crimson Element would not vanish quickly, especially since it had already crystallized; it would take at least ten thousand years to disappear, and for now, it could only recede slowly.

Chances were, he wouldn't see any such receding signs within his lifetime.

Without the Crimson Source, the Crimson Element would be neutralized and annihilated by other elements, and its ability to decay and assimilate would greatly decrease, much like losing its backbone.

Back in the lab, Qin Muye carefully took out the Crimson Source, which still glowed like a flame inside the transparent container.

"Is the Crimson Source starting to deactivate? No, it's entering a dormant phase, perhaps due to losing the energy environment," the container Qin Muye created was designed to isolate energy.

He had previously estimated that, upon entering the container, the Crimson Source had two possibilities; the first was to emit a rejection reaction, making the container last about ten seconds to a minute, the other was the current scenario.

Compared to the current scenario, Qin Muye was genuinely surprised by the outcome; after all, this possibility was very slim. He thought he'd be in for a hit, but instead, he ended up with a sweet jujube.

This is what you call a pleasant surprise.

"Indeed, the Extraordinary World relies too much on the environment. Even this so-called Crimson Source is no exception."

Since the Crimson Source was removed from its energy environment, not only did it enter a dormant phase that significantly reduced its activity, but even its original radiation began to wane, and it would completely disappear in about another ten minutes.

However, Qin Muye didn't let his guard down. Who knew what would happen with this thing, as the data he had was limited.

But this was a good start.

"The Crimson Meditation Formula can be further materialized. If possible, it would be best to switch to studying the Crimson Element, especially since it would help supplement my weaknesses in strength."

Gaining strength on his own was also a good thing, particularly since the Crimson Source was the origin of the Crimson Element. Acquiring the Crimson Source meant mastering an entirely new element.

"It just needs to be modified before that can happen..."

Qin Muye couldn't really just manipulate the Crimson Source directly; it required further research and modification.

In its native environment, the Crimson Source was formidable, but now that it was isolated from that environment and had entered dormancy, Qin Muye needed to intervene manually and further modify it to suit his own needs.

That's right, it was about making the Crimson Source adapt to him, not the other way around. If he were to adapt to the Crimson Source, then who would be in charge afterward?

His Lord Talent for Academic Research, combined with his Knowledge Attribute and Learning Ability Talent, was indeed formidable. He could perform research from scratch by himself. Otherwise, did you really think Qin Muye could succeed in his research without the support of his Lord Talent, which worked almost like a rule?

Otherwise, why would Qin Muye place such importance on his two Lord Talents?

[True Dragon Emperor: In ten days, all Lords are to convene at the Holy Hall to discuss the Barbarians. Those who fail to appear will be considered traitors and shall have their heads severed and their families eradicated.]

Suddenly, this message appeared in the chat channel.

"This is really domineering, It seems he is preparing to declare war on the Magic Continent." "Seems like he's preparing to challenge the 7th rank, but why bother with all this? Just get started."

Qin Muye knew this meant the True Dragon Emperor was also ready to gather some and fight some, but it was uncertain how many would actually go.

There weren't many Lords left, totaling only 71 now, but each one was extraordinary. Qin Muye was ranked 46th, primarily because of his 3rd rank territory. If it were a 4th rank, he could have climbed higher.

But it didn't really matter; after all, he wasn't a man who craved vanity.

"Ten days, enough time, Crimson Source, Crimson Invasion."

"Just the right moment to show my strengths and let this True Dragon Emperor and the natives know that although I stay out of the fray, I am not to be trifled with."

In the past, Qin Muye would never have shown off, but now, if he didn't demonstrate his strength, he would end up cannon fodder.

Better to strike one decisive blow than to face a hundred incoming ones.

To solve problems definitively all at once, rather than dragging them out-that was more in line with Qin Muye's style.

But the urgent task was to ensure that he too possessed a deterrent power akin to the Crimson Invasion, essentially, to drag the whole world down with him in death; otherwise, such a glaring vulnerability would turn into a joke.

The two were complementary, indispensable to each other.

With ten days, Qin Muye had enough time to achieve results, but to be safe, he began using a large number of Knowledge Attribute enhancers previously obtained during one of the angel investor events from his resource storage.

If not now, then when?

These consumables weren't going to multiply by sitting around; they were meant to be used.

With an increased Knowledge Attribute, his research efficiency naturally improved, making ten days feel not so rushed.
