He came from the Ironclad Legion, whose strength came from battle, from growth, and from the insights gained from every life -Life and Death struggle against powerful enemies.

Although his flames came from Devil, he could not have truly mastered them without years of battles.

"A flame needs a vessel," he said. "Your memories, every choice you've made. It shouldn't just Burn energy; it should also contain yourself."

Su Luo remained silent for a moment.

Can he say that his Heartfire mainly came from analyzing the revamped version of Martial Will?

"There's nothing I can do about that. I don't have that much time and energy to adapt to so-called techniques and power. But I can make power and Spell suit me."

This time, the Iron Guard remained silent. Su Luo glanced at him a few times, cast several Spells, and then added Appraisal to figure out the Iron Guard's strength and condition.

[Iron Guard (Boss)]

[Level: 8]

[Strength: 22.6]

[Spirit: 23.2]

[Constitution: 22.5]

[Skills: Demon Flame, Corruption, Breakthrough the Limit, Burnt Offering Domain...]

The current Iron Guard is not yet in its complete form. It is extremely lacking in energy, and its Attributes are relatively low, somewhat similar to the malnutrition of Blood Moon.

Moreover, the incomplete Iron Guard is actually a Boss Monster, an 8-level Boss. In the Land of Darkness, it can already crush most monsters below level 10 Elites.

Furthermore, he noticed that the Iron Guard and the Blood Moon were in similar states, both being Semi-Dream Creature. This meant they could enter reality without collapsing like pure Dreamscape beings, except they didn't have their own Dreamscape.

"May I use your Heartfire?" Iron Guard suddenly asked.

"Of course, but it will require a little cooperation from you."

He raised his hand and conjured a learning program for the Heartfire out of Heartfire, which included the core principles, operating mechanism, and possible fusion paths with the Demon Flame.

"We value equivalent exchange and win-win cooperation. In exchange, would you accept the Demon Flame and your experimental data?"

The Demon Flame has many merits, including Contract system, a preference for Curses, and Faith Side Su Luo hasn't had much experience with.

"Of course." Iron Guard nodded.

Even if Su Luo doesn't give him the Heartfire, the Iron Guard will still help Su Luo with her experiments, since it was Su Luo who brought the Four-Colored Puppets out of the Tower of Endless Reincarnation.

Su Luo quickly organized the Iron Guard's data and then turned to look for the next person.

"Oh, right." He turned to look at Iron Guard, "Would you like to take a trip to the real world? To recover your Attribute; you're not in good shape right now."

"Forget it, this will benefit my cultivation. I'll go out after I've mastered the Heartfire." The Iron Guard shook his head and refused.

Next stop, the highest mountain on this planet.

This mountain is ten thousand meters high, with its summit covered in snow all year round and shrouded in icy mist. At this moment, a person is sitting on the edge of a cliff at the summit, hugging his knees, Jingjing watching the snow before him.

It was Jingjing.

As soon as Su Luo appeared, she looked over and took the initiative to speak:

Can you bring me back to reality?

"Suit yourself, you can leave on your own."

He was telling the truth. In his current Dreamscape, he really couldn't stop the Four-Colored Puppets. From the perspective of Dreamscape Depth, his Dream World was too shallow.

Like a thin layer of water, the Four-Colored Puppets are powerful creatures from the Deep Sea; they can leave whenever they want.

Aside from the Machine Fortress, he's now purely Dreamscape creature; going outside would cause him to collapse.

"This Dream World is too shallow, I'm not used to it... I want to go see reality." Jingjing hugging her knees, her emotions unreadable.

"Then I'll just put you in the Land of Darkness. You shouldn't have much trouble surviving there." Su Luo sensed that Jingjing and Iron Guard were roughly the same strength and nodded.

Jingjing's strength mainly comes from her mastery of poisonous elements, her unparalleled hunting skills, and her Rituals of worshipping Gods. These things are enough for her to survive well in the Land of Darkness.

Su Luo only needs to keep a sample.

He looked Jingjing at Su Luo, then nodded in response, indicating that he understood.

Next, the Observers.

The Observer wasn't on the planet; this guy left the experimental planet and went to Su Luo's Calculation Zone.

The Calculation Zone had long since moved from the experimental planet, but its exterior remained that of a palace.

Inside, there was a Void composed of numerous spheres of light, each sphere being a Subconscious, constantly calculating various data. The overflowing data from these calculations was printed into ordinary documents, and when piled up, it was enough to fill the volume of an entire planet.

The Observer's blindness has been restored, and he is calmly watching all of this.

Her eyes were grayish-white and unfocused, but golden eyes would occasionally appear in the Void around her.

Some of those eyes were open, some were half-closed, some were looking this way, and some were looking that way, as if they were observing countless different directions at the same time.

Hello, Scholar.

A slight smile played on her lips.

That was the first time Su Luo had seen a smile on Observer's face. Inside the Tower, she always wore that cold, still expression, devoid of any emotional fluctuation.

"Hello, how are you feeling? Are you settling in well?"

Su Luo silently activated her Enhanced Perception and began to spy on the Observers.

If I'm not mistaken, she genuinely inherited the legacy of Lost Civilization, unlike Iron Guard and Jingjing who only inherited a power.

In terms of status, she is the same as the members of the Lost Civilization, and may have received the power of many people at the same time.

Moreover, Su Luo sensed that her power was still at a low point due to a lack of energy, not yet reaching its peak.

"It's alright," the Observer said, "But the energy level of this Dreamscape is too low; I can't absorb the energy."

She paused, glancing at the spheres of light around her that were calculating frantically.

"That's why I came here. This is the place with the most energy in your Dream World."

It's a pity that the energy here doesn't seem to be usable, otherwise it would disrupt some of the Scholar's cultivation techniques.

At this moment, Su Luo had already figured out the Observer's Attributes:

[Observer (Lord)]

[Level: 8]

[Strength: 24.6]

[Spirit: 25.3]

[Constitution: 24.1]

[Skills: Power of All Beings, Ascend to Godhood, Diligent Study and Progress, Prophecy, Twilight Domain...]

Holy crap.

Level 8 Lord monster.

Su Luo pulled up the World Channel, searched for "Lord", and browsed through the historical information, but did not find any definitive statements about the monster quality "Lord".

This means that, in his current information network, this is the first Lord monster he has encountered.

The monster quality sequence should be: Normal, Elite, Boss, Lord...

As an 8th-level Lord, the Observer could easily defeat 10th-level Elites. Su Luo even suspected that, given her skills and mechanics, she could go toe-to-toe with 10th-level Boss.
