High Above

The world is dark.

Thick black and gray iron clouds cover the sky, like majestic mountains, rolling over all things and spanning the entire continent.

But there is a continuous mountain range, like the backbone of a giant, running through this dense sea of ​​clouds, causing thunder to shine on its edge and casting a vast shadow on the earth.

This is the wonder of the New World, the flowing ‘floating mountains’.

This floating mountain range with its highest point nearly 10,000 meters in the air stretches for thousands of miles. It is roughly divided into dozens of different mountain blocks. Its existence itself will stir up drastic changes in the celestial phenomena. Those black and gray clouds are abnormal in nature. The anomaly created by the source matter and psychic energy field is large tracts of iron dust and fly ash floating around the mountains.

When dust clouds containing a large amount of energy collide and rub against each other, golden thunder will burst out, shining like the sun on the land blocked by floating mountains. The violent energy brought by this thunder will be moistened by the falling mud rain. The land has gradually become greener, so that the inner circle of the New World, which was originally barren, can gradually see some greenery.

This is the migration of mountains.

And a cyan light and shadow cut through the sky and came to the edge of this endless mountain range in the sky.

[No wonder these mountains need to be ‘searched’...it turns out they not only move, but also move very fast]

When Ian, Anfa and Xiou visited the Silver Peak Territory together, the Glazed Dragon was not idle either. Instead, it followed the spies' guidance and came to the Floating Mountains.

This floating mountain, which is called 'Iron Cloud' by the local Warcraft in the New World, is just as its name suggests. It is surrounded by a wider circle of iron-gray clouds. The huge spiritual energy field affects everything around it. Ordinary Warcraft, even the second It would be very difficult to get close to it due to its energy level. Only the metal and earth-attribute monsters and the thunder-attribute monsters could barely get close. Otherwise, they would be easily forced away by the continuous thunder, or even knocked down directly.

However, for Ian, these obstacles are just the difficulty of wiping his hair when washing his face.

Those golden thunderbolts fell on the Glazed Dragon, charging his scales with energy, bringing a comfortable warmth. He couldn't help but want to shake his spine, which was as refreshing as stretching.

And relying on the precognitive vision and the gift of the Star God, he quickly found the mountain where the 'Ling Su' was located.

It was a five-thousand-meter peak located in the center of the Tieyun Mountain Range. It was towering and thick, covered with lead gray and covered with a thin metal film. This is the baptism of thunder over many years, and the mountain range itself is composed of huge mineral veins floating in the New World. Its solidity is not bad. Even if the fourth energy level wants to destroy it, it requires a little serious effort.

However, what Ian has to do is not to knock down the entire mountain, but to drill a hole.

Immediately, the muscle scales on the tail and middle part of the body of the Glazed Dragon tightened, and then the entire dragon spun and turned into a spiral texture, a huge drill, rushing straight towards the center of the mountain range.

boom! There was a roar and explosion, rapid and violent, and even the surrounding clouds were driven by Ian's rotation. A huge swirling cloud appeared, and the golden thunder light illuminated the dark hole drilled by the Glazed Dragon, leading straight to the center of the mountain.

And right there, there was a group of strange minerals that looked like the evening sky, silver gray mixed with ice blue. The surface of this mineral is flowing with shadow patterns like water waves, and it is like breathing, surging with a strange aura.

This is the goal of Ian’s profession, ‘zero element’.

[Element Zero Coarse Ore]

[Fifth Energy Level·Ore·Power·Edible]

[Between the virtual world and the material world, it is a strange mineral that is neither material nor spiritual. It cannot be contacted or used without the use of ether. It will only be born in the supersoul area where the psychic field is extremely powerful and can even affect the composition of the material world. Its birth will inevitably be accompanied by subspace mutations]

[This mineral hardly reacts with any matter or spiritual energy, and naturally ignores the effects of various forces including gravity. If it is driven by ether, it can create a 'disabled stance'. Within the scope of the stance, various external influences , for example, planetary gravity will lose most of its effectiveness]

[This mineral is often used as a key component of giant structures such as ‘Star Fortress Defense Field Generator’, ‘Planetary Shield Generator’, ‘Giant Antigravity Facility’, ‘Extraplanetary Ecological Shelter’, ‘Black Hole Decompressor’ and so on.]

[Contains source quality: 278095.3294 units of authority]

【……】

Compared with the fifth energy level of living minerals, it is not uncommon. Rather, if even the fifth energy level materials are as rare as the fifth energy level, then it will be impossible for pre-epochal civilizations and other fire civilizations to create There are so many superstructures and fires with the essence of the fifth energy level.

The essence of zero element, simply put, is that it is not affected by any external force. Even if it is thrown next to the black hole, it will not be sucked in. As long as the ether is stimulated, even the entire area centered on it will not be sucked in by the black hole so quickly.

This elemental mineral is obviously a brand-new substance that was born after the emergence of 'ether', so it is called element zero, not an 'element'.

Because element zero is actually a neutron material, and the names of elements are mostly related to ether and sublimated materials.

The materials used by the Star God to build the cradle are obviously related to the zero element. They should be brand-new space-time materials created based on the zero element.

The true dragon gravity organ in Ian's body requires some zero elements as an intermediary layer. Theoretically speaking, a true dragon can rely on its own dragon soul and ether furnace heart to create zero elements out of nothing through special reactions to meet the needs of its own gravity organ, but the time required is usually more than ten years, Ian There is no time to wait.

It's most efficient to just get it ready-made.

[Edible... To be honest, who is the food label "Gift of the Star God" written to? 】

The Glazed Dragon stretched out its tail and touched the zero element. He activated the ether and prepared to separate part of the excess renewable zero element ore without damaging the core of the floating mountain.

After all, the entire floating mountain can float and migrate in the New World entirely because of zero elements and various pumice-like materials. The special reaction of the floating mountain itself can also make the land of the New World more fertile and vital.

Ian is not the kind of person who wants to hold all good things in his own hands. He only takes what he needs. After all, in the special natural environment of the New World, Lingsu can slowly regenerate in the floating mountain mineral veins. To mine them all at once is essentially to fish from the lake and kill the hens that can lay eggs.

but.

The moment the glass dragon's tail touched Ling Su.

Ian suddenly discovered that Star God's Gift trembled slightly.

Then, a prompt box popped up in his mind.

[——Subspace Network Channel Detected——]

【Link? 】

ah?

Even Ian couldn't help but sigh. He chose 'Yes' in surprise. Then, with a feeling of deep dive in and out of the virtual realm, the Glazed Dragon discovered that the mountains around him were like melting candles. He retreated as usual, and what appeared around him was a vast, almost endless dark subspace.

Ian often sees subspace. Among other things, at the Alien Research Institute, many confidential facilities of pre-era civilizations are built in the subspace maze.

But those subspaces are essentially just a 'real world' located in a virtual realm. The materials in it are real and not virtual, and the area is not very large, filled with all kinds of extremely important facilities.

But now, the subspace that Ian saw was so vast that even with the eyesight of the Glazed Dragon, he could not see the end, and could only see a hazy darkness.

And this huge subspace is far more solid than the subspace of the Alien Research Institute.

If the subspace of the Alien Research Institute is a third-level one that Ian can break in and out and jump back and forth at will, then the subspace he is in now can only be opened by Ian's own body with a full blow. To the extent that he has the gift of the Star God, otherwise, Ian feels that he, the incarnation of the Glazed Dragon, cannot enter this subspace at all.

That's how strong it is! The entire New Continent, even the magical beasts that specialize in psychic energy, may not be able to easily enter it.

【This is not right...】

Ian murmured to himself and looked around: [This is not a normal subspace... It is so huge, but so solid, and there is that webway... Could it be said? ! 】

No need to guess at all.

Because, Star God's Gift directly gave the answer.

[Spaceship Storage Area]

The simple sign made Ian suddenly realize, and he also took a breath: [Is this the storage area for the sky-falling spaceship? ! 】

Although shocking, when you think about it, it’s not surprising.

The various clues that Ian had obtained before actually pointed to the remains of the sky-falling spacecraft in the New World, and even some critical equipment parts were scattered there.

And with so many fires and monsters in the New World, there must be storage equipment. Thousands of stars' fires cannot be accommodated in a small spaceship, and the Star God may not drive a spaceship with a huge material volume. It is likely to use subspace technology to store it. carry.

Zero element is essentially the product of the intersection of subspace ether and reality. With such a huge zero element mineral vein in the floating continent, no one believes that it has anything to do with subspace, so Ian can connect to the zero element mineral vein through the gift of the Star God, and then Go to this 'subspace network' and 'ship storage space'!

After quickly calming down, Ian's eyes lit up with a silver-blue halo and he looked around the entire storage area.

In an instant, Ian saw that with himself as the center, the originally dark subspace suddenly turned pure white, and a dark golden vein was extending into the distance.

These dark golden veins are like human blood vessels, like intricate urban networks. Small veins merge into larger trunks that are as turbulent as rivers. These trunks vaguely correspond to the terrain of the entire New World, and there are also There is a huge nest point made up of veins, like a nest.

In these nests, you can vaguely see the illusion of some behemoths.

Huge winged crustaceans; tangled plant roots; jellyfish clusters that are constantly expanding and contracting; gigantic cosmic beasts; giant snakes with multiple heads and multiple eyes; rootless flowers that are constantly rotating...

Ocean, mountains, underground, sky, jungle...

The huge nest formed by the golden network veins seems to be the energy of the New World's ley lines, the 'high-energy places' where abnormal psychic fields gather.

Ian is also familiar with these locations.

Because they are all areas where those sleeping fourth-level behemoths are located!

【I see! 】

At this moment, Ian suddenly understood.

The entire New World can basically be said to be the creation of the disaster.

The material remains of the sky-falling spaceship are likely to be located on the Far Coast Island and the 'Crystal Holy Land' that the Warcraft call it, and its subspace part has merged with the entire New Continent and turned into the shadow time and space corresponding to the New Continent.

The network tunnel that was originally used for subspace transportation evolved into today's New World Earth Veins, or in other words, spiritual energy veins, also known as spiritual veins.

The surging spiritual energy flows along the spiritual veins of the subspace, and many of the nodes used for preservation have become areas where fourth-level behemoths sleep and rest, absorbing the knowledge of fire. It is no wonder that most of the behemoths have gone back to sleep. Because the subspace spiritual veins are essentially their 'placentas', they have not yet fully developed, so they naturally have to absorb nutrients here and recover intact.

More than that.

Ian looked far and wide, and he found that at the other end of this densely packed webway that continued to extend in all directions, there was an area that was extremely eye-catching.

It was an ocean made of all kinds of thunder and magnetic light, boiling and exploding continuously!

Thunder Sea!

Because various landmarks in the New World will move, even the floating mountains will continue to migrate along the flow of the earth's veins. The Thunder Sea is also part of the subspace energy transmission of the New World. It will naturally continue to migrate, and the migration speed is much faster than the mountains. be quick. Therefore it is difficult to find.

But now, under the lock of Ian, who has the authority of the Gift of the Star God, he does not need to look for it at all. He can directly reach the location of the 'current Thunder Sea' according to the context in the subspace!

This was so effortless. Ian originally thought he would need to send his men to search for it for a while!

【I probably figured it out】

After studying it carefully for a while, Ian finally understood why there were such strange phenomena as the Iron Cloud Mountains and the Thunder Sea.

The Tieyun Mountains themselves are a 'continental-scale seeder' that constantly converts rock minerals into soil and dust, mixed with rainwater to drop fertilizer minerals. Because the New World is not yet ready for sowing, it can only slowly fertilize the rocky surface of the New World and fill the cultivated areas of the New World bit by bit.

The same is true for the Thunder Sea. On the other side of time and space, the mighty thunder is not just for destruction, but also for energy conversion and ozone creation. After a large amount of turbid and heavy source matter collides with each other to give birth to thunder, it will become more refined and delicate, and can be absorbed and used by more organisms. Various air fertilizers and various key trace elements that are lacking in the New World will also continue to flow. The earth was created in the sea of ​​thunder.

There is no doubt that whether it is the Iron Cloud Mountains or the Thunder Sea, it is a transformation program related to the New World... or even a transformation program related to Terra!

However, the main program of the ladder located in the Crystal Holy Land has not been started, so these subroutines can only slowly execute tasks with automatic reactions.

But now, the authority to activate the Crystal Holy Land... lies in the hands of Far Coast Island.

Also in Ian's hands!

[So it turns out, not only the people of Terra, but the spaceship also has the authority to activate the ladder - yes, it is impossible for only one party to agree to transform Terra. The indigenous people naturally have the power, but the Star God also has the power to transform the other half! 】

At this moment, Ian couldn't help but laugh. The corners of his mouth curled up, and he laughed loudly: [Sure enough, the strong man is full of surprises. After gathering the Star God's gift, as for things related to the Star God's spaceship, as long as the Star God If God doesn't show up, I have the highest authority! 】

[But where did the Star God come from now? I can’t wait for the Star God to show up soon! 】

[In the end, after working so hard on Far Coast Island for so long, the final authority may not be as big as mine! 】

Although his heart was full of unexpected joy, Ian did not waste time after the excitement.

【quit! 】

Exiting the subspace without hesitation, the Glazed Dragon continued to collect zero elements, sending these weightless minerals into its mouth to be digested and utilized by the crystal dragon's terrifying organs to build its own gravity organ.

No matter how many secrets you master, the most important thing is to upgrade!

Secrets have value only if they have power.

For a time, in the center of the Tieyun Mountains.

A glazed dragon fell into a deep sleep. The slender body of the crystal dragon was covered in a soft cocoon of light, and all the Dragon Worshiping Monsters remaining in the territory also received a message from Ian, asking them to shrink and expand in a short time, waiting for his return. .

As a result, the Dragon Worshiping Sect, which was growing continuously, took the initiative to stop its external expansion and development.

In this regard, the Beast Kingdom and Dawn Port could not help but breathe a sigh of relief - now is a tense period of multi-party confrontation, and it is not long before the final showdown and battle. They really do not want to have another competitive opponent. .

If the Dragon Worship Cult wants to grow silently, let them rest!

Anyway, as long as the Crystal Holy Land unfolds...the authority in their hands is activated...

Then, everything in the New World will obey their orders!

So, that's it.

Time flows.

Soon, time came to Terra 776, early April.
