Chapter 91: The Scarlet Source
Chapter 91: The Scarlet Source
The next day, Qin Muye brought a specially designed storage container and a hundred Gospel Sprites through a hyper-spatial teleportation channel to the core of the Red Wind Disaster, a vast basin where the scarlet flames burned.
He had originally planned to wait for Tianqi to return and have him accompany him, but time did not wait for anyone, and he had to take a bit of a risk and come alone.
Fortunately, the journey was smooth and uneventful, as he had teleported directly to the location.
Looking at the flickering scarlet flames, Qin Muye cautiously instructed the Gospel Sprites to help him collect them.
He was cautious because if the Gospel Sprites died, Tianqi could always train more, but if Qin Muye died, it would be the end of everything.
However, Qin Muye had also made contingency plans. Based on his estimates, the improved container could last anywhere from ten seconds to one minute. The wide range was due to his uncertainty about the intensity of the scarlet flames, so he could only make an estimate.
One hand was ready to collect the scarlet flames, while the other was prepared to activate the hyper-spatial teleportation channel. If anything went wrong, Qin Muye would immediately flee.
Better safe than sorry.
But everything went smoothly, after all, he had prepared for so long. As long as the data was correct, there was almost no chance of an accident.
Carefully taking the container from the Gospel Sprites, Qin Muye decisively stored it in his item slot.
[Scarlet Source: The origin of scarlet elements]
"Let's go back." Qin Muye immediately activated the hyper-spatial teleportation channel, bringing the Gospel Sprites back to his territory. He then proceeded to disinfect and securely store the scarlet elements.
With the removal of the Scarlet Source, the Red Wind Disaster should not reoccur. However, the scarlet elements that had already spread would not dissipate quickly, especially those that had crystallized. It would take at least ten thousand years for them to disappear, and at the moment, they would only slowly fade away.
It was uncertain whether Qin Muye would live long enough to see any signs of their dissipation.
Without the Scarlet Source, the scarlet elements would be neutralized by other elements, and their decay and assimilation capabilities would be significantly reduced, as if they had lost their core.
Back in the laboratory, Qin Muye carefully took out the Scarlet Source, which still resembled a flame, quietly glowing in the transparent container.
"Is the Scarlet Source becoming inactive? No, it's entering a dormant state, perhaps due to the loss of its energy environment?" The container Qin Muye had created was designed to isolate energy.
He had previously estimated that after entering the container, the Scarlet Source had two possible outcomes: one was to produce a repulsion reaction, allowing the container to hold for ten seconds to one minute, and the other was the current situation.
However, the current situation was indeed surprising to Qin Muye, as the probability of this happening was very low. He had expected to face a setback, but instead, he had received a pleasant surprise.
This is what a surprise is.
"Indeed, the Extraordinary World is too dependent on its environment, and even the so-called Scarlet Source is no exception."
Due to the loss of its energy environment, the Scarlet Source not only entered a dormant state, greatly reducing its activity, but its radiation also began to decrease. In about ten minutes, it would completely disappear.
However, Qin Muye did not let his guard down. Who knew what this thing was capable of, given the limited data he had.
But it was a good start.
"The Scarlet Meditation Formula can be enhanced further. If feasible, transitioning to cultivating scarlet elements would be optimal, as it could compensate for my shortcomings in strength."
Being able to strengthen himself was indeed a good thing, especially since the Scarlet Source was the origin of scarlet elements. Mastering the Scarlet Source would be equivalent to mastering a brand new element.
"However, it needs to be improved first." Qin Muye couldn't directly manipulate the Scarlet Source; he needed to study it further and improve it.
In its natural environment, the Scarlet Source was very powerful, but now that it had been removed from that environment and entered a dormant state, Qin Muye needed to intervene and further modify it to make it adaptable to himself.
Indeed, the goal was to make the Scarlet Source adapt to him, not the other way around.
If he were to adapt to the Scarlet Source, who would be the master in the future?
The Scholarly Research Lord Talent, combined with his Knowledge attribute and Learning Ability Talent, was indeed quite powerful. He could conduct research from scratch by himself.
Otherwise, Qin Muye wouldn't have been able to succeed in his research. It was only with the blessing of this rule-like Lord Talent that he could achieve it.
This was why Qin Muye placed such high importance on his two Lord Talents.
【True Dragon Son of Heaven: In ten days, all lords will gather at the Holy Cathedral to discuss the barbarians. Those who do not come will be considered traitors and will have their heads cut off, and their families exterminated.】
Suddenly, this message appeared in the chat channel.
"This is quite domineering. It seems they are preparing to declare war on the Magic Continent."
"I guess they are preparing to advance to the 7th stage, but why go through this formality? Why not just act directly?"
Qin Muye knew that the True Dragon Son of Heaven was also planning to gather a group to fight another group. However, how many would actually show up was uncertain.
The number of lords was not large, with only 71 remaining, but each one was formidable. Qin Muye was currently ranked 46th, but that was because his territory was only at the 3rd stage. If it were at the 4th stage, he would be ranked higher.
However, it didn't matter to him, as he wasn't one to crave empty glory.
"Ten days is enough. Scarlet Source, Scarlet Invasion."
"Exactly the right time to show my strength to the True Dragon Son of Heaven and the natives, letting them know that although I am content in my corner, I am not to be provoked."
In the past, Qin Muye would never have sought the limelight, but now, if he didn't demonstrate his strength, he would be relegated to cannon fodder.
A single punch to open the way, to avoid a hundred punches later.
He preferred to resolve issues decisively rather than dragging them out, which was not his style.
However, the immediate priority was to ensure that he had a deterrent as powerful as the Scarlet Invasion, something that would ensure that if he were to die, the entire world would die with him. Otherwise, leaving such a significant weakness unresolved would make him a laughingstock.
The two were complementary and indispensable.
Ten days was enough for Qin Muye to achieve results, but to be safe, he took out the large number of consumables that temporarily increased his Knowledge attribute, which he had exchanged for during the Angel Investor event.
If not now, when?
These consumables wouldn't reproduce if left unused; they were meant to be used.
With a higher Knowledge attribute, research efficiency would naturally be higher, and he wouldn't need to rush in ten days.
