"Does it have to be an heir?"

【must】

"I feel like I can live forever..."

[Not to mention that this sentence itself can make everyone in the world crazy - even if you are really capable, don't you still have to leave? What’s the difference between you leaving and dying?]

"No, do I have to designate the heir? Others can be the heirs if they like..."

[What are you talking about in your sleep? Royal power is both strength and responsibility. Is it possible that if you enjoy it for the rest of your life, you won't care about the next generation? It's not such a good thing! You must leave an heir who meets your requirements! 】

"I can not be the king, I can build a Terran Federation or a Republic, and let the people elect a president, chairman or something else!"

[In Terra, these positions are not essentially different from those of the emperor... Why don't you want to find an heir? 】

"I have difficulty choosing. I want them all." Ian rarely told the truth, but obviously this was not recognized by Master Faner: [Then you should report all your successor candidates]

Ian thought for a while: "Is Frost Butterfly okay?"

Hearing this, Fanner couldn't hold himself any longer: [You...you expect the goblin? ! Ian, don't lower my opinion of your wisdom, and don't insult my wisdom with such ignorant words! 】

"Yes." Ian just said casually: "But I think Hua An and Tutor Dongyu are quite reliable. The fairies have been around for so many years, so they are not particularly bad choices, right?"

Fannar sighed: [Human beings can't integrate the spirits of all people and then reconcile...Okay, the Minghui Cult is a bit like this, but in general, goblins can integrate into humans, but not the other way around]

[Unless it is a civilization with only pure fairies, they cannot be the main race of civilization, and they themselves know it]

"Um……"

Ian pondered, he actually had many candidates in mind, such as Isengard and Adlbert. Both friends understood his ambitions and dreams, and they also had abilities.

From the current point of view, the former has no problem being a chipless version of Inaga II, and he might be able to keep the chip in the future as a proof of royal power or something.

And Adebert is even more of a genius, a genius born in Terra that opened up the era. He has a good character and high moral standards. Being the emperor is really difficult for him. This man can obviously be the Philosopher King.

As for Xio and Anfa, after all, they are still subordinate to Longdao and Canaan Moore. Although these two forces will be integrated by themselves in the future, they can only be the second echelon - the people cannot accept it, and it is indeed difficult to take over the bank. A series of government affairs and decision-making in Fengling.

——If you really want to be the heir, it should be Elan, right?

Ian thought so.

The other party is currently studying at the Ascendant training camp in Silver Peak. His younger brother is now fourteen years old. He is usually gentle and polite, smart and leads people. He also has the first level of arcane path strength. Compared with his own back then, It's almost...well, a little bit worse.

But this is only because Elan does not have a silver chip, nor does he have the ancient dragon core left by his teacher. Just based on Elan's diligent study in recent years, as he saw on the path of the insect swarm, his brother definitely has the potential to become a strong man.

Moreover, from the training camp, the Government Affairs Department, the General Political Bureau, the Ascended Army, and the core research laboratory of the Arcane Path, Elan is a model who has gone through all the grassroots levels of the Silver Peak Leader and worked his way up step by step.

Over the past few years, although Ian has been focusing on dealing with some major issues, he still takes time to pay attention to and teach Ellan - and in fact, he often calls the mentors of Hua An Frost Butterfly and even Frozen Fish Gansong in the virtual realm. When partying, he would often accompany Isengardia, Debert Siouanfa and others at real-life drinking parties.

He will even go fishing with Qingchao Scott and others, but it is a pity that he is a prophet, unless it is intentional, it will be difficult for the air force to do so.

After all, Ian is also a human being and needs to maintain his own character relationships. He also likes this feeling of leisure.

Over the past few years, so many things have happened in such a hurry. After all of them were dealt with, Ian had some room for leisure.

Just like now.

He didn't have to wait until he was about to die before appointing a successor. Instead, he could take his time and think about it together with Master Faner.

"The successor of the prophet, if not another prophet... preferably one who can see through the past."

Whispering to himself, Ian has actually reserved a position for 'Elan' in his heart - but he is still too young. Even if Elan can really keep up with his pace, it does not mean that he can do it at the age of twenty. Things that a twenty-year-old can do.

He is a time traveler and a reborn person, and he has a system (silver chip) plug-in, and even a road simulator. There is no one who can catch up with him.

He can't see through the future, but he can grasp all the problems of the past. Any conspiracy is meaningless in front of him.

"Let's see."

Raising his head, Ian looked at Master Fannar: "My current system cannot be fully understood by even my closest friends and comrades-in-arms. It will take a few years for them to understand the purpose of these designs."

"And my successors may not be them, because they are too familiar with me and will accommodate my wishes no matter what - they are my best friends, but friends may not really understand my thoughts, because they Love me, like me, and are willing to change yourself for me, just as I am willing to change my decision-making for them... This is destined to not fully understand my thinking."

"So my true successor, even my younger brother, Elan, who has experienced the entire Silver Peak Territory, may not really be able to become the same person as me."

"unless……"

——Unless it's your clone?

Master Fanar held his cyber breath. He had been waiting for the other party to say this: Too many high-ranking rulers of Terra looked down upon others and thought they could do it themselves, but he didn’t think Ian could do it. There will be exceptions.

And he also believes that no one but Ian can fix this mess.

However, this is also a last resort. It is difficult for clones to grow to a level comparable to their original form.

If Ian really wants to choose his own clone, then he will have to share resources with other orthodox religions later to carry out subsequent development and research with this goal, and even consider how to assist the other party in becoming king.

But fortunately and unfortunately, no.

"Unless it's my Heart of Terra!"

Ian patted the armrest of the chair of his central throne heavily, with a proud look on his face: "My Heart of Terra has my entire set of thinking patterns, and it does not have any emotional self-interest. It will operate automatically as long as I give an order. It can basically be regarded as nothing." My ego!”

"As long as someone can flexibly control the heart of Terra and not be too selfish, they can basically be regarded as the second me - but don't worry, my heart of Terra has its own wisdom and can recognize all selfish commands. !”

ah?

Master Fanar opened his eyes wide. Even their Psychic Order hopes to create a central server to accommodate and guide all humans, but fast forwarding directly to artificial intelligence ruling the world is a bit...

Master Fanar only knew that the Heart of Terra was the governing intelligence behind the Silver Peak Territory terminal network, and did not know that it was the core of all Ian's network systems. If he knew the nature of the Heart of Terra, he would definitely not be like So confused now.

But it’s not a big problem, it’s enough to convince the other party.

【Since you have an idea...that's okay】

After pondering for a while, Master Faner slowly said: [In short, I just hope you have a little foresight... Although it is a bit too much to say this to a prophet, you do not leave any descendants, do not think about future generations, just think about your own dreams. People, I’ve seen too many in Terra]

[As long as you are willing to think about the successor, it means that you are willing to think about Terra's future, instead of just indulging your desires with a perpetual motion machine]

【That's enough】

"It just doesn't work."

Ian comforted the old man who was a little lost for some reason and said: "I will give you my genetic information - although I don't think my talent has anything to do with genes, in short, as long as you don't use these genes to create twenty Primarch and all, I agree."

[No need, since you have a successor in mind, your genes are actually a disaster]

Master Fanner stood up and shook hands with Ian: [The fewer people who have the right to inherit your business, the better. Otherwise, after you die or leave, a major rebellion will be inevitable]

[What's more] Master Fanner narrowed his eyes, looked at Ian carefully, and then nodded: [Indeed, your genes can only be regarded as excellent, and they cannot be compared with your achievements - we have no way to rely on cloning. Mass manufacturing prophet]

[The recognition of the Heart of Terra...the recognition of artificial intelligence, at least it is a standard]

【What are you going to do next? 】

Before leaving, Master Fanner asked Ian.

"Prepare for war."

Ian replied: "No - in this world today, I'm afraid there is no war anymore."

"I'm going to prepare for a duel."

October 778 of Terra, the second year after the declaration of perpetual motion.

Two years sounds like a short time, but it is enough time for a lot of things to happen.

For a world where there are sublimators, and the times force sublimators to change, two years is enough to change everything.

The popularity of the arcane path is different in each country. The fastest among them is naturally the Silver Peak Territory. Within half a year, it has adopted various policies to forcibly popularize the arcane path.

Other forces, however, encountered many problems when they wanted to popularize the arcane path.

The first is resources.

The source matter absorbed by the arcane path is the source matter in the surrounding space and time. This source matter is endless, because the source matter naturally overflowed by the perpetual motion machine and the source matter created by the sun cannot be used up by humans at all.

Even in a super big city like the Imperial Capital, because the Imperial Capital itself can produce source matter, there is no problem.

But the real problem lies in the sublimation materials such as Warcraft meat that accelerates the refining method of life energy.

For elderly people, because their life has begun to decline, the practice of the life energy refining method will become slower. Unless they consume monster meat and sublimation plants to speed up the process, the efficiency of youth can be restored after the initial foundation is laid. But even now that all major countries have launched preferential policies, ordinary families still can't afford Warcraft meat in the past two years, at least not for daily consumption - there aren't that many edible sublimation materials.

Even if you bite the bullet and buy some, most of them are for your children, pinning your hopes on them.

Moreover, spiritual practice takes time, and adults, except children, all have to work. Even if there are preferential policies, it is impossible for the poor to become rich and out of work in one or two years. The operation of the country also requires most people to work. One day of practice means one day of less money, which means that the family will go hungry.

unless……

The state gives money to people to practice Buddhism.

Apart from the Silver Peak Leader, the second person to complete the advancement of the arcane path is Whale Song Cliff!

After all, there are two fifth-level powerhouses in Whale Song Cliff, and the total number of residents is less than 10 million. This is the advantage of a small country with many powerhouses who can directly distribute money.

With Silver Peak Leader and Jinggeya Zhuyu in front, all the major forces have understood how to popularize the arcane path. However, it is hard to make a meal without rice. If there are not enough resources, there will be nothing. Even those with foresight have already started cultivating them in advance. Breeding monsters for meat and planting sublimated magic plants, but two years is still not enough, so most of them are still in the process of becoming popular.

But even so, various countries have developed many new functions of the arcane path.

The Western Empire, led by Carlos Setal, stated that they had developed a new ability called divine magic through the arcane path. However, this kind of magic is different from the divine magic that Ian and Carlos discussed. Its source is actually the 'given source seed'.

In the early stage of Terra's sublimation, the predecessors need to give virtual source seeds to the successors to give them the ability to practice. Even Ian got Hilliard's virtual source seed, which allowed him to get started quickly, saving a lot of time and energy, and reducing a lot of dangers.

Divine magic is also such a system. A person who has achieved success in the arcane path can bestow a 'simulation spell' on those who come after him. This is a seismic structure similar to a virtual source seed. The latecomers hold this Structure, you can directly use a certain ability before you officially get started.

With this virtual structure, he can become familiar with the structure of this spell more quickly and then learn it.

Of course, using this method to learn is equivalent to not creating your own paintings, but copying them - it is true that you can draw well and look like in a short period of time, but if you lose your ability to condense the structure of the source material, it will be a bit outweighing the gains. .

But in any case, Carlos did create a secret method of the arcane path.

On the Yanjiang side, a brand new meditation method has also been developed: their psykers built another super giant ectoplasm structure in the virtual realm, and all those who can meditate within the influence of this giant ectoplasm structure Practitioners can quickly sense various structural details and then change the structure of their souls.

They call it ‘visualization’ and it is a form of meditation.

This is similar to Ian's Terra Heart giving computing power, except that the structure of the Terra Heart itself is too complex and cannot be understood by others. However, this idea can be learned, and Ian also plans to start using it. The spiritual structure of several key core meditation methods is built in the virtual realm to accelerate people's understanding and learning.

Moreover, because the range of influence of the Heart of Terra is much larger than that of Yanjiang’s ectoplasm structure, this means that Ian’s copycat version is stronger than the original version!

This is actually the reason why Ian wants to spread the arcane path.

Because the arcane path is really a path with infinite possibilities, Ian himself does not dare to say that he can explore all its mysteries, so it is better to distribute it to everyone and let everyone show their intelligence and wisdom, and he will learn from it. Learn to be a free prostitute, stronger than the original version, and more powerful than everyone combined!

In addition, there are many wonderful uses and novel techniques of the arcane path, but most of them are in the early stages of development and have no reference value, so we will not go into details.

In two years, what has changed the most is actually the social atmosphere.

Everything starts with hope.

If human beings do not know that they can travel far away and that this world can have hope, then people will be decadent, silent, resist changes in the world, and would rather maintain the status quo than let their lives change.

Because no one knows whether the future will be good or bad.

The same goes for countries.

No one knows what will happen to Terra in the future, whether it will be destroyed by one's own hands, a civil war at the fifth level, or another disaster from the sky - even without the skyfall, wouldn't there be too many elements of destruction on Terra? Yet? If nothing else, isn't the Disaster of Light a huge disaster that can destroy everyone?

But now, everything is different.

The emergence of perpetual motion machines and the promise of perpetual motion machines make all destructive futures disappear without a trace.

But the most important thing is to prove the existence of the ‘Star God’.

The myth of the Heavenly Father is an origin myth and legend that Terra has not forgotten after many eras. However, compared to the civilization of the previous era, where everyone was tacitly aware of the existence of the Heavenly Father, the people of the Terran Era only regarded it as a myth. .

But now, the myth has come true, and everyone knows that the 'gods' who once created themselves and protected them exist. They have even prepared means for themselves to survive the disaster, leaving behind a legacy called 'perpetual motion machine'. 'one's gift……

Not to mention that Terra has always had related beliefs. Even if it is a civilization that has never believed in gods and advocates atheism, if it hears that its predecessors have left a perpetual motion machine to them, they will respect them as their ancestors.

Not to mention that the Star God is truly the creator of all civilizations.

A civilization that has hope, a future, and a good life that can be counted by the countdown will naturally live more smoothly day by day, and many contradictions and struggles will no longer exist.

Moreover, because Inaga II once entered the brain, many surprises appeared in many rural places where Minzhi had never been opened.

There are many villages and tribes living in deep mountains and old forests. After opening up their wisdom, they were shocked to find that the reason why their tribes existed was entirely because this place was a relic of a pre-era civilization.

The spring that will never dry up and is extremely clean is actually a water purification port for the civilized city of the pre-epoch; and the 'god-given land' that is warm in winter and cool in summer, which can cure diseases, is a still-running pre-epoch. The remains of civilized living quarters are located.

All of a sudden, various relics of pre-epochal civilizations have sprung up all over the world, and related excavation operations are in full swing.

The pre-era civilization technology unearthed in these two years is comparable to that of the past hundred years!

Inexplicably, another batch of pre-era civilization heritage has been added. After Terra's overall civilian technology is digested, it will usher in another major improvement.

In such an environment, the struggles between countries are mainly focused on public opinion and the confrontation between the powerful.

The group with the fifth energy level as its core has gradually torn apart the power structure that was originally based on the country and became independent 'perpetual motion competitors'.

Except for the brother-sister couple like Jinggeya and the big forces like Yanjiang, which have a small number of people and simply lie flat, other forces have actually split into independent groups just like the empire split into the East and West Empire and the Silver Peak Territory.

But this is not enough.

With the population of their respective forces, it will never be possible to achieve the requirement of future perpetual motion voting, that is, '50%' Terran people.

If you want to win, in addition to what you already have, you have to take it from others.

But, how to capture it?

How to capture ‘population’ and ‘support’ from others without starting a war?

Everyone, all the fifth-level powerhouses, don’t know what they are going to do next.

Unless... there is someone who can show them how to do it.

October 778, Terra.

Ace Niemathas was prepared for everything.

He closed the book in his hand and stood up.

[Sir] He said: [I'm ready]

Then, a voice came out from the heart of Terra.

"Do you understand your mission?"

【I see】

Closing his eyes, the peaceful-looking son of the Light Controlling King slowly said: [In this world, someone always has to be a pioneer - I am not a real pioneer, but I am willing to take the first step and break all taboos]

"Is this what you're thinking in your heart?"

[This is a 'delusion' that I once had in my heart, but I didn't dare to express it. Sir, this is my delusion, and you gave me the truth to realize it]

"Then, go ahead. Remember, I am with you, and call my name when you need it."

[I will, my lord]

Ace Niemathas set out. Like any Flying Flame native who came to the Silver Peak Territory and then returned to his own country, he boarded the airship heading to the Nirmasas Flying Flame Land.

Then, a few weeks later.

Big news came from Feiyandi.

[The son of the Light Controlling King, Ace Niemathas took the initiative to spread his own fifth-level king’s bloodline! He even took the initiative to teach those practitioners of the arcane path how to condense the source material structure of the fifth energy level bloodline! 】

[Fifth level bloodline spreads! Its map has been publicly circulated! 】

The whole world was shocked.

Recommend a friend’s book! "This giant dragon is so powerful!" 》

The soul from Blue Star traveled through time and was reborn as a little black dragon that had just broken out of its shell.

The bad news is that the Black Dragon Lady was targeted by the kingdom and sent out an army of dragon slayers.

The good news is that it has awakened a talent, which comes from the passive of the LOL character Void Fear - [Feast].

Feast: Converts devoured matter into physical growth, thereby increasing physical strength and size.

When ten, one hundred, ten thousand, and one hundred thousand layers of feasts are stacked up, a terrifying black dragon that feeds on stars and planes is born.
