Chapter 510: Reliance

"The Collinsons' fusion progress is indeed ahead of yours, Eliza, but you are undoubtedly more imaginative and talented than them. You are trying to understand, then devour its 'Law Domain,' am I right?"

Li Mochen laughed: "In this regard, they are far inferior to you."

Then he stood up and waved a hand, conjuring a spatial gate in the office: "Come with me. There's no need to go to the Sword-Question Manor's laboratory this time. So, you actually didn't have to come in person."

Eliza was puzzled at first, but then her expression cleared as she raised an eyebrow: "BOSS, has your magic tower been completed?"

If so, Li Mochen could indeed move freely between the Sunrise Building and the Winstonshire Tower through spatial gates, as long as he left a gate in both offices.

Before this, Li Mochen had used the Necropolis magic tower to travel between the Unicorn Apartment and the company office at will.

However, during the war a few months ago, Lind Emers was severely injured and lost consciousness, and his magic tower was also nearly completely destroyed.

"The construction period was ninety-two days, materials and labor cost me twelve point seven billion gold shields."

Li Mochen's face twitched as he said this.

The six-story magic tower built by Lind Emers cost less than one point two billion. But the total cost of his was ten times that!

Of course, you get what you pay for. First, this magic tower, named 'Land of Fate' by Li Mochen, was personally designed by Bethel Einstein. Based on Li Mochen's requirements, the latter spent a full two months refining and producing the blueprints for this tower.

During this period, Li Mochen also participated, integrating the 'truths' he had most deeply comprehended into it with Professor Einstein's help, involving eight types of laws: fate, life and death, yin and yang, ice and fire, and thunder and lightning.

The result of greed for more and completeness caused the cost of this magic tower to skyrocket!

Afterward, to expedite the tower's completion, Li Mochen not only collected materials at high prices above market rates but also invited seven legendary mages from the Einstein School to build it together.

With ample financial support, every aspect of 'Land of Fate' was pushed to the extreme.

It boasted a luxurious configuration of four mana pools per floor, unlimited expansion potential, and the ability to help Li Mochen master forbidden spells when it reached twelve floors in the future.

"But it's worth the price, isn't it?"

After stepping through the spatial gate, Eliza first stared at the magic tower before her, a mage's exclusive domain, then looked around at this demiplane with a radius of three kilometers.

Her eyes were full of envy, but unfortunately, although sorcerers mastered many powerful spells, their soul power and wisdom could not sustain such a creation.

Just then, a sharp explosion sounded from the south.

Eliza looked over in surprise, noticing a faint crack in the spatial wall there.

"This is?"

She wondered if this magic tower had a hidden flaw causing spatial instability.

"It's nothing—"

Li Mochen also looked over: "It's because the two magic towers next door are not yet finished, causing chaotic void energy and mutual interference. Ha, they've already built to the ninth floor."

He was referring to the one belonging to Professor Alex Granshaw, designed with the help of Conshuri Winstonshire.

Speaking of which, the blueprints for this magic tower were completed only over two months ago, but the construction progress there was even faster than Li Mochen's 'Land of Fate.'

Professor Granshaw was also ambitious, but not as extreme as Li Mochen.

His magic tower design was more practical and rational, and with subsidies from Conshuri and Li Mochen, he spared no expense on materials and labor.

It was expected that in a month, this 'Ideal Herb Garden' mage tower would be built up to ten floors.

The other magic tower belonged to Lind Emers's 'Death Home.'

Li Mochen had hired Lady Christie Blythe at a high price to design a renovation and expansion plan for it.

Since the previous tower had been almost leveled, Li Mochen simply demolished it completely and rebuilt it, investing a total of three point seven billion funds to improve its structure and expand it to eight floors.

Currently, construction there had reached the last floor, with only a few final steps left before completion.

It is worth mentioning that during the time Lind Emers was unconscious, Li Mochen incorporated a Styx Stone purchased at a high price and twenty ounces of 'Night Marrow Divine Gold' into its framework.

As a result, after the magic tower was destroyed, Lind Emers did not drop in rank but instead broke through to legendary level three.

This was also a benefit of being a lich; protected by their phylactery, their souls rarely suffered major trauma. Beyond the soul, the most important thing was the runic array imprinted on the soul and phylactery—which could be more vividly described as a 'program.'

However, Lind Emers himself was not very happy, because all three of his phylacteries had completely fallen into Li Mochen's hands.

This meant that even after completing his contract with Li Mochen, it would be difficult for him to escape.

Li Mochen watched that direction with interest for a while, then used teleportation to bring Eliza to the seventh floor of the magic tower.

Her pupils contracted slightly. She found another 'Li Mochen' there, wearing a set of scarlet battle armor, sitting cross-legged in the center, eyes closed in meditation. His whole body was surrounded by star-blue light points, and above him, it 'connected' directly to the starry river.

There was no ceiling here, only the boundless starry sky—one could directly see the 'Astral Plane' from here, with its mysterious and powerful celestial bodies.

Eliza glanced and then averted her gaze. Although there was a protective membrane between the magic tower and the Astral Plane, given her current class level, it was better not to stare directly at these stars.

Her right hand provided a warning; just now, this already mutated arm had undergone some strange changes.

Li Mochen placed the large stack of documents from Eliza in front of his clone.

In fact, both were him, so it didn't matter who handled these documents. However, currently, this clone using the 'Scarlet Dragon Armor' could not fight for long even with the 'Land of Fate' magic tower, and the clone's body had not been optimized to its best state. Therefore, Li Mochen still preferred to use his main body for external actions.

Although the combat power of 'Light Demon No. 8' was far inferior to 'Scarlet Dragon Armor,' it excelled in endurance and convenience, allowing him to maintain demigod-level combat power at all times.

Shortly after the NHSAA National Competition ended, Li Mochen figured out a way to resolve the incompatibility between this power armor and mythical equipment. The unique soul structure after the fusion of two souls allowed him to achieve a dual-core main body, each capable of standing on its own—this was Li Mochen's greatest reliance for believing he was invincible!
