Ian really didn't expect that he would encounter Feiyandi even after he came to the New World.

The body of the crystal dragon is transforming, occupying most of Ian's computing power in the New World, but Ian still uses a little of his soul in Terra to explore the situation in the New World in a purely ideological form.

It does not move in the material world, but relies on the 'subspace network channel' connected at the core of the Dark Cloud Mountains.

As the internal storage area and transportation pipeline of the Skyfall spacecraft, the subspace network has spread throughout the New World in the thousands of years since it was formed. Various strange subspace labyrinths inside the New World and various rare virtual realm spiritual mineral veins are all networks. Tao's influence on reality.

During the period when the Glazed Dragon's body was cocooned and sleeping, Ian's spirit basically wandered around the entire New Continent. By now, he already knew the ecological distribution, mineral vein distribution and power distribution of the New Continent very well. I'm afraid he could even live there. Neither the Warcraft nor the Far Coast Islanders who have lived for more than a thousand years know this land as well as he does.

Whether it's Youlan's plan or the beast masters' thoughts in their lairs, nothing can be hidden from Ian's eyes. He sensed it clearly.

This is the confidence that Star God’s Gift gave Ian!

However, even Ian, who has the authority of the Star God's Gift, still has some areas that cannot be explored.

That is a blank space at the core of the subspace network of the New World.

This blank space represents that subspace that exists independently of the Webway. It is located in the deepest part of the virtual realm. There is no relevant secret order, and even the fifth energy level is difficult to find.

In a sense, it is probably similar to the Star God's safe.

It is unknown whether this hidden blank space is a stasis field used to preserve fire, or it also hides some special strange objects, such as some clues to a perpetual motion machine.

Even Ian can't get close. If he gets even slightly closer, he will be pushed back by a gentle force.

It feels like an attitude of ‘kids should keep away from this dangerous secret’.

After all, the gift of the Star God is only the gift of the Star God, not the Star God himself. For the purpose of protection, it is normal for dangerous areas to be blocked for minors.

Ian felt a little regretful about this, but he didn't really care.

After all, when the critical moment comes, a minor is a minor, and his authority is at least stronger than that of embryos and pets.

And Ian speculated that the blank space at the core of the subspace network corresponds to the crystallized holy land in the center of the New World—that is, the place where the ‘pre-era civilization ladder’ and the ‘remains of the sky-falling spaceship’ are located!

All of this complements each other: the huge destruction caused by the fragments of the falling spacecraft caused the ladders to converge here, and the convergence of the ladders affected the crustal movement of the planet Terra, and then created this new continent with the Holy Land as its core.

And when Ian came to the 'empty space' again, he sensed the vibration of the subspace.

An inexplicable force spreads throughout the subspace network, as majestic and thick as a mountain, as majestic and steady as the sea, majestic and inviolable.

It's like the entire land and ocean came to life, opening its ancient and calm eyes to examine all life in the New World.

【Should we start? 】

Having been waiting all this time, Ian's spirit moved slightly and he left the subspace and came to the real world.

The hazy spirit looked far away at Dawn Harbor on the edge of the New World, where an army was advancing mightily.

After the large fleet from Far Coast Island arrived in the New World recently, they did not take action immediately. Instead, they prepared supplies, laid out positions, reinforced port defenses, and built marching roads leading to the center of the continent.

They even transformed and stacked their own warships, turning the entire Port of Dawn into a super giant steel fortress, an extremely huge steel peninsula extending from the New World.

In the center of this steel peninsula, a tower thousands of meters high stands, with a pale light shining on the top of the tower.

That was a trace of Cang Xing's divine power. Although Grid could not come in person, she sent her own power as a trump card to protect Far Coast Island's only position in the New World. Another trump card outside the sea alliance.

Far Coast Island has made a decision to make a desperate move to develop a new continent, so they did not make any rash advances, but started taking action after everything was ready.

At the same time, not only the Far Coast Island, but also the three major beast kingdoms in the New Continent also sent out their own armies in order, heading towards the center of the New Continent in different directions.

During this period, relying on the ubiquitous observation ability of the subspace network, Ian also figured out why other fourth-level monsters chose to sleep, and why Huanyu Yanhai and the others were able to establish a kingdom of beasts.

Because the masters of these beast kingdoms have some authority over the sky-falling spacecraft.

Perhaps the keys left in the spacecraft were obtained by these monsters, or perhaps they did obtain some inheritance from the sky, and found a way to open some of the spacecraft facilities.

In short, while other fourth-level monsters can only choose to sleep and wake up at the cost of disconnecting from the fire, they can freely connect with their own fire and choose whether to sleep or wake up.

However, the authority in the hands of the beast country is divided and has little effect. If the three are combined into one, maybe like Ian, he can use the subspace network to see the entire New World.

The Crystal Holy Land located in the center of the New Continent is not only the location of the ladder to heaven, but also the source of the powerful energy fluctuations that sweep across the entire New Continent.

That energy fluctuation is the activating fire, which activates the intelligence of the 'Warcraft' and becomes the source of the 'intelligent race'.

Ian believes that there is a high probability that it is the 'activation signal' used by the Star God to activate the bloodline wisdom of fire creatures. It is precisely because the New World has this activation signal that the monsters on this land are 'certain stars' and 'intelligent monsters' , instead of the 'intelligent monsters' from the Terra continent.

But the awakening of this signal is too random. Even in the New World, there will be monsters that cannot awaken wisdom. This gives the intelligent monsters the feeling that humans have gone through so much trouble to give birth to a child, but the child only knows how to The meaningless roars, as stupid as the apes, frightened them.

In order to ensure that their own clan can fully awaken to wisdom and get rid of the possibility of giving birth to brainless babies, the three major beast nations are willing to pay any price.

"No wonder the beast kingdoms are hostile to each other, and their emotions are also competing for authority... Moreover, precisely because they have authority, the beast kingdoms are confident that no matter what humans want to do, they can get a share of it."

After confirming this, Ian was not in a hurry. If the Beast Kingdom had only this trump card, let alone defeat him, it would not even be able to match the ladder authority held by Yuangan Island.

But he also vaguely noticed an abnormality: except for Yan Haihai, the other two beast nations seemed to have sent part of their power away from the New World, avoiding Ian's observation.

Ian didn't know where this force had gone.

But now, with the battle between Yan Hai and Feiyandi's fourth-level powerhouse, everything is clear.

One of these two beast nations actually called the strong men from Feiyan Land over as reinforcements!

The colorful ocean flows between the sea and the sky like a dream. It sets off physical and spiritual waves at the same time. During the ups and downs, the sound of a real and illusory tsunami and storm echoes on the raging tide.

The essence of Yan Hai is a collective of 'swarm organisms' on a certain ocean planet. When it developed wisdom, its 'body' had already occupied the entire ocean of that planet, and the continent was also barren. There was no trace of anything on the entire planet. There is no other life, nor any intelligent creature.

Because of this, even if it is intelligent, it is still ignorant. It does not know what it is, nor does it know what the universe is, nor does it know what the stars in the distance are.

Until one day, a 'moving star' suddenly appeared in the sky.

Not a meteorite, not a comet.

An exploration spacecraft of an alien civilization came from the distant sky and landed on this ocean planet.

——What are you?

--who are you?

Even the concept of 'they' is unknown. The ocean that has been calm for thousands of years is slightly rippled by the stars in the sky.

Instinct curiosity emerged.

The intellectual sea relied on its extremely powerful spiritual power to read the minds of the scientists on the exploration spacecraft. It was like a mirror, reflecting the phantoms in many people's hearts, and communicating with those scientists through simulated phantoms.

He quickly learned the language of these scientists, and learned the 'feelings' and 'desires'. He was like a sponge, tirelessly learning every advantage and every disadvantage of intelligent life.

After frightening them half to death, the Sea of ​​Consciousness was confirmed to be an unprecedented spiritual intelligent creature. It was invited by the Alliance of Interstellar Civilizations at that time and became a member of the alliance, and soon received many supporting technologies. , came to the starry sky.

And their unique swarm life forms, which are very different from insect swarms and omnics, have also provided the alliance with many new biotechnological inspirations.

This is the origin of the ‘sea of ​​knowledge’.

But this was all thousands of years ago.

The galaxy alliance that has now lost its name has long been turned into ashes in the universe. The sea of ​​knowledge that once experienced ignorance, learning and achievement only has a few seeds left for rebirth on Terra, and this time , the object of its study is not those friendly and friendly interstellar civilizations, but the bloody and cruel natural ecology of the New World.

The sea of ​​wisdom is now the sea of ​​​​Yam.

Using the storm as a roar and the waves as a battle cry, the water columns containing spiritual brilliance intertwined into a colorful storm all over the sky. When they flew in the air, they imprinted rainbow-like light patterns on the atmosphere.

These rainbow lights, even if they are only affected by the aftermath, will cause emotions of extreme sadness, anger, joy and pain in people's hearts. It corresponds to the flaws in the spiritual instincts of all intelligent beings and can directly arouse the emotions in people's hearts. The 'inner demon' is the ubiquitous offensive hidden under that mighty wave.

The spiritual energy that was used in the past to connect with all intelligent beings to share happiness, anger, curiosity and goodwill is now like a blade tearing apart the spiritual defenses of all living beings. Even the heart-light body is extremely firm and condenses the fourth part of the etheric true body. Even those with strong abilities would find it difficult to confront them head-on.

Just like the strong man from Feiyan who fought with Yan Hai in this spiritual storm and huge waves.

At this moment, his whole body was shrouded in a circle of lead-gray light mist, and his expression was painful. Sik Niemathas felt extremely troubled at this moment: "Damn it, I thought it was just an ordinary fourth-level monster. Even if it can't be solved, it can still be solved." Escape safely..."

"But why does this creature have so many powerful psychic skills?"

Generally speaking, except in their own areas of advantage, uneducated fourth-level monsters cannot defeat prepared fourth-level humans, because monsters have no weapons and equipment, skills and alchemy, let alone potions. and various inherited sublimation techniques.

Although he has some fighting instincts and skills gained from many years of hunting, how can it possibly be compared to the fighting skills of humans that have been honed over thousands of times!

But the fact is that this weird New World Warcraft has extremely superb combat skills and uses its psychic powers so skillfully that even Sick felt fear. If it weren't for the fact that the other party didn't understand the thinking mode of intelligent life forms like humans, Sick felt that he There is a high probability that the mental defense will be broken within a few hours and the person will have to flee.

However, fortunately, his bloodline [Infinity Protozoa] has extremely strong adaptability and can gradually gain immunity to certain enemy abilities through ultra-high-speed metabolism.

Those gray mist are his burning blood, which has a strong ability to resist mental interference.

Although Yan Hai is powerful and skilled, it still lacks the data to deal with humans. Even though it has broken through Sick's mental defense several times, it has been unable to seriously injure the opponent - it doesn't even know what humans are afraid of. Therefore, the advantage originally held was gradually regained.

"We have to figure out why the people from Feiyan are here."

After seeing that the two sides were in a stalemate, and the Feiyan people were gradually gaining the upper hand, Ian made up his mind to help Yan Hai, a local monster.

Not only can it attack Feiyandi, but it may also be able to figure out what the trump cards of the Far Coast Islanders who have joined forces with Yan Hai are.

Now that you have made up your mind, let's start taking action - Ian said nothing, and the soul wandering in the subspace network flew directly towards Yan Hai.

——Hai Dahai, your mental attack is wrong. Whether you force him to recall sad emotions or torture his soul with pain, you can't really touch the deepest part of his heart!

——Want to defeat the opponent? Let me teach you!

Sensing another person's voice deep in his soul, Yan Hai's will paused slightly, but did not reject it - he could instinctively sense that the soul that was communicating with him did not have any malice, and was sincerely speaking. Want to let yourself win.

If that's the case, then just believe him!

Without any hesitation, Yan Hai's mental attack method suddenly changed! It is no longer directly aimed at Sigg himself, but at Sigg's family, relatives and friends!

——There is no such thing as the fourth-level powerhouse Sik Niemathas, only a severe delusional patient who has been suffering from madness for a long time and cannot distinguish between reality and fantasy!

——Your child is excellent in character and academics and is kind to others, but he is discriminated against and even bullied by his classmates because of his father's illness. He holds back tears every day and goes home hoping that his father's condition will improve. But every time he visits with hope, the result is It's all endless disappointment.

——Your mother loved you so much that she even sold her old house and retirement savings in order to treat you. But no matter how you were treated, you became more and more crazy. One day, you even suddenly escaped from the hospital and came to the street. He hurt passers-by everywhere, causing the old mother who was waiting for her son's recovery to collapse.

——Your wife...your father...your friend...

After Ian hooked up with the powerful computing power of the 'Heart of Terra' and blessed Yan Hai's inner demon powers, one kind of terrifying illusion appeared after another.

That was not a simple injury, but an extreme deception.

It should be noted that simple pain, torture and sadness cannot break the mind of a powerful Terran, because they have been living in this world full of suffering since their birth.

But the real tragedy is to tear apart the beauty for them to see - giving them a fantasy world full of beauty, and then turning themselves into the source of all the pain in this world. They are not using their own power to hurt each other, but letting them suffer. The other person's self-blame, guilt and reflection hurt themselves!

The defense was broken, and Yak was completely broken in an instant.

"Can't tell...which side is true?!"

Tens of minutes later, after being attacked continuously by the enhanced version of the inner demon frenzy jointly carried out by Ian and Yan Hai, even the fourth-level powerhouse felt briefly confused - he began to be a little confused between illusions and illusions. The difference in reality made me wail in pain because of the inner entanglement.

But even so, the power in his body originating from the bloodline [Infinity Protozoa] inherited from the top of the fifth energy level is still constantly transforming and evolving, creating a spiritual barrier that is enough to fight against the inner demon... But it is already too late.

The moment he wailed, Yan Hai's will mixed with the colorful sea water completely engulfed his body, invaded his seven orifices, and poured into his brain.

The crazy sea whispers and rejects all good intentions and hopes, and everything falls into hell and madness.

And Ian's will, blessed by the Heart of Terra, also flowed into Sick's soul, successfully reading the memory of this fourth-level powerhouse in the Flying Flame Land.

I met a lot of other authors today, and all of them asked for leave and didn’t need to write code. I almost didn’t finish writing the update!
