Chapter 991 Why are there flying flames everywhere (6600, please give me your monthly ticket~)

Sixty years ago.

Terra 716, winter.

After failing to compete with Grid Sardo and failing to become the successor of Blue Star, Yolanda Avaritia was unwilling to stay on the Far Shore Island as a loser and become Grid's deputy. Instead, she chose Lead a voyage to the New World.

He took over the shabby New World settlement and became the first settlement governor to take the initiative to go to the New World.

At this time, Youlan was almost thirty years old. He had recently reached the peak of the third energy level. As long as he became the successor of Blue Star, he would soon reach the fourth energy level and become the most powerful person on the continent of Terra. The group of people on the top of the mountain.

It can be said that Youlan is only one step away from becoming a being that controls the continent of Terra.

But he ultimately failed.

This is not because he is not good.

It can even be said that in terms of sublimation skills and alchemy, Youlan is superior to Grid at that time.

His bloodline 'Qiongchen Wood' is a rare ancient magic plant, sublimated from the most ordinary 'Floating Dust Wood', and the 'bloodline sublimation technology' was invented, which can convert part of the bloodline of 'ordinary monsters (plants)' He was the head of the research team that was sublimated into the bloodline of 'Ancient Warcraft (Plant)'.

At that time, Youlan, who was young and already a master of biological alchemy, realized that many of the magical beasts on Terra had potentials far beyond their own and even human imagination.

There are many seemingly ordinary Warcraft plants. As long as they meet certain conditions, they can be transformed into incredibly powerful 'special' individuals through cultivation with some materials.

And there are actually a lot of these special individuals in the New World.

This is also the reason why the Warcraft materials and some sublimation materials obtained by Far Coast Island from the New World sometimes appear to be superior to Terra's materials.

However, apart from his research interests, Youlan does not pay attention to the New World.

He is a staunch militant and a supporter of the hegemony of the Sea of ​​Tranquility. His attitude towards the Flying Flame Land and the Seven Cities Alliance has always been firm 'confrontation'.

He will use swords and knives to fight for the interests of the Tranquility Sea for the Far Coast Island and seize the land that the people of the Far Coast Island long for.

Of course, just for the South. As for the northern Forster Fortress nations and forest shamans? You must know that that place is the Dark Mountains and the Everfrost Forest. On the continent of Terra, the three fifth-level monsters and aliens without any belongings are there.

The people of Far Shore Island are not stupid either. The place where those monsters are is much more dangerous than the mantle plume beneath their own home, and even dogs won’t go there.

Hawks like Youlan are not uncommon. If things go according to previous years, the next generation of Cangxing will definitely be him.

But during the selection process, a battle broke out between the Far Coast Island and the Seven Cities Alliance.

No one wins. Everyone loses.

The Far Coast Island gave up its inland plan and fully contracted. Youlan, a candidate who still insisted on the main battle, was defeated by off-site factors other than hard power. Grid, who insisted on the concept of stable development, became the successor of Cangxing. By.

So he left.

At that time, Youlan was only in her early thirties, in the prime of life. Even after arriving in the New World, he was still ambitious and determined to open up a new home for the Far Coast Island. All monsters and harsh environments would become his experimental materials. Youlan believes that with his own talent and ability, he can do this. After all, every governor of the New World in the past was essentially a loser who was exiled after political struggles. Although he was also a loser, no one Think he is incompetent.

But reality slapped him in the face.

This damn place in the New World is really poor.

To be precise, it cannot be considered poor. The mineral resources in the New World are almost as rich as those on the Far Coast Island. Continuous geological movements have exposed many mineral deposits on the surface, and the special subspace environment and psychic fields have created things similar to floating mountains and icy cliffs. Resource points like Eternal Dark Swamp have special sublimated resource output.

But the ecology of this place is too fragile.

There are many intelligent monsters in the New World. After the founding of the country, these intelligent monsters have occupied several of the most stable areas of the New World's ecosystem, leaving humanity with a barren wasteland.

There is not even enough soil to grow crops on this land, because mineral debris pours into the sea. Biological disasters such as noctiluca and red algae break out around Morningside Port for three months every year, and not many other times. Fish can be caught.

Even as a master of biological alchemy, Youlan still has a headache. A clever woman cannot make a meal without rice. Although he can try to create a biological subspecies that can withstand extreme environments, the process of trying at least requires a laboratory, right? But there is nothing in the New World. There are only a group of descendants of exiled prisoners who are almost the same as in the safari era, and a group of officials who have long forgotten the pioneer spirit of their ancestors.

The monsters are raging, there is a lack of resources, and frequent battles are needed, but there is no supplement... Every governor of the New World believes that staying here is suicide in disguise, and Youlan is no exception.

But at that time, his stubborn temper came up - this damn New World monster and ecology, is it possible that the enemies of Far Shore Island in Terra are really powerful? Since he can insist on confronting the Seven Cities Alliance, Feiyan Land, Empire and other forces, he is naturally a madman who is not afraid of anything. Since he cannot become a blue star to compete with the powerful powers of Terra, he will become the overlord in the New World!

He thought so and did so.

This is done for sixty years.

Sixty years have passed in a blink of an eye. The Feiyan Land and the Empire have finished the Desert War. The Empire's Black Sun and Fudou Fortress City have disappeared. The Cangtian Royal Court has changed its Khan. Three civil strifes have broken out in Canaan Moore. Yanjiang even Changed the capital.

Did Youlan succeed?

No.

The New World is still dominated by Warcraft, and human exploration teams are still unable to explore the entire New World. There are still countless unsolved mysteries in this vast land. Youlan's own practice has also been hindered. Sixty years of At this time, he has not even reached the peak of the fourth energy level.

However, Youlan did not fail. Every autumn, Morningside Harbor is surrounded by golden wheat fields, and dozens of semi-enclosed fish ponds appear in the surrounding sea. With tidal energy and geothermal heat, the people of the far-shore island in the New World no longer lack resources. There is heating and fans in summer.

In the eyes of the people on Far Coast Island, the New World is no longer a desolate place of exile, their last and most helpless retreat, but a future that needs to be taken seriously, a hope that everyone can look forward to.

All this is thanks to Youlan’s sixty years of hard work.

The man who was full of ambition and injustice back then has turned into an old man with gray hair and haggard appearance. He cultivated rock wheat, iron-bone fish and moss mushrooms in the New World so that everyone can have enough to eat. Everyone has energy to use and everyone can live and work in peace and contentment. To be honest, if Youlan wanted to, he could completely cut off contact with the Far Coast Island during the period when the Far Coast Island did not pay much attention to the New World, and become the king by himself and become the leader of an independent force.

But is that really his dream?

When the Lord of Dawn City and the governor of Far Shore Island in the New World once again stand on the high tower of the port and look towards the distant center of the New World, he will surely recall the afternoon when he first arrived at Dawn Port sixty years ago.

"I originally wanted to prove that Master Halaize was wrong in choosing Grid instead of me. What I want to do is not only create a superior pioneering land for Far Coast Island, but also prove my ability. Better than Grid, I can represent the future of Far Shore Island."

"And now, the New World has really become the future of Far Shore Island. Grid personally expressed her gratitude to me on behalf of Blue Star and announced that if I am willing, the first large city in the New World will be named after me."

"And I have also seen Cang Xing maintain the order of Far Coast Island for decades, and gradually restore the vitality of his hometown that was on the verge of collapse."

"Mr. Haraize may not be wrong, and I have proved myself."

"And now, there is still one last task left before my dream can be realized."

Now.

Terra 776, spring.

An elite army is advancing on the endless plains of the New World.

This army is small in number, but everyone drives an armor. Even if some personnel do not drive an armor, they also wear exoskeleton armor.

There are different armored teams, air and land, far and near, equipped with different firepower, and each driver has specialized skills and abilities. They have a tacit understanding and perfect cooperation. Under the guidance of the dream instrument for many years, all members of this army have long faced all the enemies they know and have overcome all complex and bumpy terrains. They are the elite among the elite. , is an iron army that can surpass even nightmares.

The silver and black metallic gray shadows crossed the mountains and hills, crossed the swamps and plains in a uniform manner. As they marched, they eliminated all the monsters that blocked the road, bulldozed all the nests, and left behind a simple, thoroughfare. On the road to the center of the continent, the monsters trembled wherever they passed, and no creature dared to step forward to block it.

Yolan Avaritia stared ahead dimly, his etheric weapon ‘Obscure Leaf’ turned into a platform, holding him up to stand in the center of the army.

He didn't care how this evil-destroying iron army carefully selected from the Far Coast Island could smoothly crush all the monsters and obstacles along the way. This fourth-level ascendant who had already entered old age early due to years of fighting was at this moment What he recalls are the ordinary people he remembers in the past sixty years.

A farmer's family finally opened a field in Qianqiu after three generations of exhaustion.

A student who mysteriously disappeared into the sea after his safety rope broke in order to explore good sea areas.

Because her husband and children were eaten by monsters, she spent her whole life hunting monsters, and was eventually devoured by the New World.

The No. 3 exploration team was attacked by a subspace natural disaster and had no news.

besides……

There were too many Far Shore Islanders who died on this land, and even he was almost killed in several trials and even direct attacks from the Beast Kingdom.

Every time Dawn Port wants to expand its sphere of influence and move towards the center of the continent, it will attract a fierce attack from the Beast King.

And now?

In Dawn Harbor, because life is so superior, the descendants of the pioneers who have struggled all their lives are living and drinking, opening casinos and opera houses. They use geothermal energy to create hot springs, and open beach resorts on the coast, making many far-shore islands The high-level officials are also known to come here to take a vacation.

The people of the Far Coast Island, who originally worked hard and worked hard, quickly became like other people on the mainland after they obtained the comfortable land.

In fact, because they have enjoyed a lot in dreams, they know how to enjoy it better than people from other forces.

He is right. Human beings are such stupid creatures. Once there is no war, they will quickly become lazy and degenerate. He knows this and knows that the terrifying cohesion and quality of the people on the Far Coast Island all exist because of the harsh environment and war. That's why he keeps fighting.

He built Dawnport so well that people lost motivation.

But he's right.

Because this is also a kind of war.

Yolan Avaritia is the same as he was sixty years ago. He is still the most determined and extreme militant, and he is still the same fanatical militant.

What he wants is conquest - conquest of this new continent!

Only this time, his weapons will not be swords, but technology, farming, cultivation and breeding.

Isn't it the most essential conquest to turn the originally wild New World, full of dangerous and terrifying beasts, into a paradise and resort for human beings to rest and recuperate?

Enjoyment? What's wrong with having fun? For the pioneers, this is the result of their war!

However, now is not the time to enjoy it. This battle has not yet been completed, it can even be said that it has just begun.

Youlan only spent most of his life building an area on the east coast of the New World. Without the support of others and relying solely on himself, he might not be able to completely conquer the New World in his lifetime.

But he does.

But this time, Governor Youlan of Far Coast Island finally got the weapon he needed most.

【Terra's Seed】

Sixty years of exploration have allowed Youlan to know many secrets of this land. He understood why the Warcraft would join forces to prevent him from exploring the center of the New World, even though it was just a barren dead land without any life.

Because, in the endless glazed crystal plain, deep in the center of the new continent, there is the ‘Port of the Ladder to Heaven’.

The disaster of falling from the sky 1,600 years ago destroyed most of the inherent terrain on the planet Terra. Except for Terra itself, which was protected, all other continents were sunk.

Theoretically, even Terra would have sunk due to violent geological movements, but because of some information that even his fourth energy level could not know, Terra was preserved. But that is not the only reason. The ‘Ladder to Heaven’ of the pre-era civilization also played an important role.

They stabilized the earth, adjusted the flow direction of the mantle, restored the damaged atmosphere, and smoothed the ocean currents... This invisible giant structure runs through the entire planet and even the virtual realm, and part of its most important control port is solidified. In the center of the New World.

And there, there are some more mysterious and important things, as evidenced by the endless crystal plain shaped by ultra-high temperatures, as well as by the abnormal source matter activities and psychic field changes in the New World.

However, Youlan is not interested in these.

What he wants is just the power of [Ladder to Heaven] that can reshape the ecology.

As early as more than ten years ago, Youlan knew the power of the ladder, but he was unable to activate it. One is that there is no authority, and the other is that the ladder needs a basic model as a basis to transform the world. The reason why the ecology of the New World is so weak is precisely because of the abnormality of the ladder due to the disaster of falling from the sky. Otherwise, in just one hundred years, let alone more than a thousand years, the New World will become a lush and vibrant green. earth.

Therefore, they worked hard to find the current remains of the Dragon of Terra, and obtained the authority of the Dragon of Terra that was enough to fully restart the ladder system, and let the ladder be based on the "pre-era Terra ecology" The goal is to reshape this land.

This is his final mission.

"Is this the Crystal Holy Land?"

When the Iron Army arrived at the edge of the Crystal Plains, Youlan's adjutant stared intently at the dazzling land in front of him that glowed with countless colors. He couldn't help but sigh: "No wonder it is called a holy land. This place is even connected with the source of matter." The concentration is much higher than in ordinary areas, and with this gorgeous scenery, it’s not surprising that it is regarded as a holy land in heaven.”

"If you have ever seen a meteorite crash site, you will know that there is nothing mysterious about this high-heat crystallization area."

Looking back, Governor Youlan shook his head and said calmly: "Moreover, this is not the real Holy Land, it is just the 'corridor' in front of the Holy Land."

"corridor?"

The adjutant was slightly startled. He was the commander transferred by Youlan from the mainland of Far Coast Island. He was not like Youlan before, who had fought against the Beast King and had seen the true appearance of the Holy Land.

He just looked up in confusion, but did not find any buildings on this endless plain without any protrusions: "Could it be that the Holy Land is in subspace..."

"Not exactly, but almost." Youlan lowered his eyes and said calmly: "Besides, now is not the time for small talk - prepare for the formation, the enemy's attack is coming."

"As you command!"

The adjutants did not hesitate in this regard. They knew very well that when the team arrived at the edge of the Holy Land, they would inevitably be attacked by the local King of Warcraft...

Even join forces to attack!

The words just fell.

At the top of the cloudless sky, light golden shadows suddenly lit up. These shadows lit up from the western continent, soared into the sky, tore apart the atmosphere, and in an instant, a long light and shadow streaked towards the far shore. The island's team fell.

Almost instantly, the Iron Army, which was still on the march, gathered together. The lightweight armor and exoskeleton were protected in the middle, and the heavy defensive armor was connected together like a mountain tower, and the weapons on their shoulders were The void generator resonated immediately, and a light blue shield was raised around the entire army.

Then, those golden shadows revealed their true form.

They are golden psionic light groups, whizzing in with long tails, blooming with dazzling light. The armored observation lens reflects the dazzling golden light originating from the virtual world, and one, Two, and the last eight light clusters penetrated the atmosphere and illuminated half of the sky.

They screamed and fell, accurately hitting the shield of the Far Coast Island military force. The light blue shield raised huge waves like the sea, and the overflowing aftermath instantly melted and evaporated the surrounding land. , blowing away a rock formation ten meters deep.

For a moment, the golden-red lava mist turned into a solid pillar of flames and shot straight into the sky. In the violent shock wave and flames, although the shield was twisted and deformed, like a plastic bag torn by a child, it still held firm. Blocked the enemy's attack.

"Psychic memory, simulated meteorite, Huan Ri Xu Mother still likes to play such little tricks."

Youlan did not help Legion block this attack because it was not needed and because he needed to deal with a more powerful enemy.

With a cold snort, the old man raised his hand, and waves of strong wind suddenly surged out of his body and his etheric weapons.

But if you observe carefully, you can find that these winds contain a large amount of extremely tiny 'floating dust'. These floating dust are essentially a material substance created by his bloodline 'Qiongchen Wood' converting the material source structure. 'Air dust'.

The difference between Qiongchen Wood and Floating Dust Wood is that the air dust produced by Floating Dust Wood can only be used as an invisible hand to control the wind, pushing matter forward and floating, while the operation of Qiongchen Wood is more subtle and can even change The molecular structure of matter gives it a variety of incredible physical properties.

In the hands of Youlan, the air and dust can change endlessly. It can be condensed into soldiers, or the molecular structure can be converted into medicine to stimulate vitality. It can not only gather the surrounding energy, but also erode and shatter other people's shields and sublimation skills from the smallest detail. It is said that the more profound the knowledge, the greater the ability.

But now, he raised his hand, and the invisible air dust condensed in mid-air into an array of inscriptions that could corrode the subspace. Black cracks suddenly bloomed in mid-air, and then Youlan stretched out his hand and pushed forward, and the cracks shattered. , the door to the virtual realm hidden behind the material dimension opened, and a large number of insect shadows hidden in it were forced to fly out.

That is the army of Void Winged Beetles that have been hiding in the surrounding area for a long time. They have been hiding in the subspace maze. The attack of the Phantom Sun Void Mother just now was just a bait to attract attention. As long as Youlan didn't notice it just now, then this group of Void Realm The beetles will destroy the surrounding virtual structure and directly banish the evil-destroying iron army in this area into the subspace maze.

But Youlan had too many dealings with the Huanri Kingdom. The old man clenched his fist out of thin air with a stern look, and the invisible dust turned into a blade that filled the sky, screaming and slashing towards the insect swarm. He only heard a series of glass There was a crunching sound, and bursts of golden metal rained down all over the sky. Countless fragments of the broken bodies of the Void Origin Winged Beetles fell one after another.

But Youlan was not too happy, because he saw golden light spots flying out of these wing beetles, and an inexplicable force protected these light spots.

The body of the virtual source wing beetle can be infinitely manufactured, but the soul is difficult to restore. He just destroyed the body of the wing beetle, but the soul was protected by the spiritual power of the sun and the void mother and could not be destroyed in time.

[Don’t be too anxious, Youlan, just test the quality of your hands]

At this moment, the voice of Xu Mu sounded: [You humans are indeed worthy of being the world's hegemons. Even if you, Far Coast Island, are just an ordinary force, you can still pull out so many elites. If my children were as powerful as your elites, the situation in the New World would not be so anxious]

[Hmph, stupid old bug, your thoughts are too beautiful]

And just in the underground in the distance, a large number of purple-black millipedes emerged from the ground. Their number was like a black tide, forming a wave that rose and fell one after another, quickly forming a formation on the ground.

And the voice of the Lord of the Great Abyss sounded: [Youlan, you are late. You cannot open the Holy Land alone, and you cannot bypass us]

[In this case, why not work together to open it, and then, who can really succeed depends on their own abilities! 】

"A bunch of old foxes."

And Youlan sneered in her heart. Indeed, as the Lord of the Great Abyss said, it is impossible for humans alone to open the Holy Land. Only the authority of these beast kings can open the key to the Holy Land - but these monsters do not have the authority of the ladder. It's useless even if it's turned on.

Therefore, in the six months since it obtained the authority of the Dragon of Terra, Far Coast Island did not take action rashly, lest it be taken advantage of by Warcraft.

However, Far Coast Island is not stupid.

Over the past six months, they have already reached an alliance agreement with the Lord of Yan Hai, who has the best relationship with mankind. However, Huanri and Dayuan are both old enemies of the terrestrial ecosystem. It is impossible for them to join forces. Even if they join forces, they will not cooperate well. It is absolutely impossible. Better than his alliance with Yan Hai.

But...a kind of doubt arose in Youlan's heart.

——Where is Yan Hai?

Why hasn’t Yan Hai arrived yet?

at the same time.

Ian Will, who originally planned to follow the Far Coast Island army to the Crystallization Holy Land, was currently on the coast of the New World when he saw a massive battle.

Among the two parties, one is a colorful and strange ocean, which is the main body of the Lord of the Sea of ​​​​Yam, while the other is a fourth-level human being.

And this fourth-level powerhouse...

"Flying Flame Land?"

After watching the excitement for a while, Ian finally figured out where the other party came from and asked, "Why is there a fourth-level powerhouse from Feiyan Land here?"

"It can't be the reinforcements from the Far Coast Island... Could it be the reinforcements invited by the local monsters in the New World?"
