A different approach?
Ji Jue had racked his brains all day, but his mind was completely blank. He only wanted to swap out his brain—or, better yet, swap out the examiner.
That bastard was targeting me!
One million percent!
But with no other choice, he once again threw himself into research.
—If quantity could not solve it, then he would have to turn to quality!
If you, Mr. Worm, were not interested in my mechanical engineering, then I had one or two Sage Remnants here that could have a friendly chat with you.
Sages and dragons were counterparts: one represented the beginning, the other the end.
So using Sage Remnants to fight a mere incomplete dragon was not excessive, right?
Once Creation Mode was activated, whatever he wanted was available. There was an unlimited supply of materials and Blessings, and time acceleration spared him far too much waiting. Even if he made a mistake somewhere, one press of rewind would immediately return him to before the failure.
Ji Jue felt like he was about to become addicted.
It was too useful!
He would probably have withdrawal symptoms for a while after leaving the simulation.
Even as he devoted himself to creating Sage's Shadows, Ji Jue did not forget to keep freeloading on the simulation opportunities. Through reconstructing, studying, and dismantling Sage's Shadows, he once again threw himself into researching Fluid Alchemy.
With infinite resources at his disposal, he did not even need to care much about theory. All he had to do was brute-force trial and error. There would always be a path that worked.
If an effect could not be achieved, he could settle for the next best thing, using the same Blessing Sequence or other material properties to create an imitation or compensation.
It was as though he
