Chapter 1057 The True Demon of Silence (5500, please vote for me~)

[The Realm of Silent Light] is one of the most well-known 'mazes' on the continent of Terra, with an active period that lasts for hundreds of years.

When it is active, even during the day, you can see streaks of light spinning and swaying like tracks on the bottom of the Sea of ​​Tranquility. And if it is night, it is even more brilliant. The surface of the Sea of ​​Tranquility is calm and waveless, but there are waves in the depths. The torrent of light flows surgingly, outlining scenes of wonders like clouds.

It was simply a reflection of the virtual realm, where the physical world and the spiritual world intersected.

It can even be said that the reason why the western kingdoms of Terra surrounding the Sea of ​​Tranquility continue to fight each other, and relatively speaking, have more spiritual energy inheritance, is because of the precious spiritual energy resources in the light world.

However, it is difficult to penetrate deeply into the Light Realm... Not to mention the Silent True Demon stationed at the entrance of the Light Realm, just entering it requires the permission of all the major forces around the Sea of ​​Tranquility.

If these major forces were not prepared to join forces to explore during the active period of the Light Realm, and in their personal capacity, if they wanted to be recognized by the four major forces of the City of Knowledge, Seven Cities Alliance, Flying Flame Land and Far Coast Island, entering the Light Realm to obtain resources would be a good idea. It is basically impossible to conduct research.

Except Ian.

It didn't take much effort for Ian to cobble together these permits.

The new chief of the City of Knowledge has not yet been announced, and the mark given by Corizon's split soul is still usable, so it is the easiest one to obtain.

Korezien's split soul has been staying in the Silver Peak Territory recently, studying the arcane path with Master Gravi, Master Gosei and others. His life has been so happy that he has long forgotten that his true body is still sealed. "I can move, I am the real body!" ’, Ian was impatient when he wanted to imprint, and Ian was happy for them to study. Anyway, the funds were sufficient, he had results to get, and the researchers had something to do, a win-win situation!

Ian has had a great time cooperating with Far Coast Island in the New World recently. In addition, he defeated King Jhin some time ago. If he wants a pass, Cangxing will naturally give him face.

Cangxing herself had actually guessed that Ian was the one who copied the data of the 'Cangxing Server'. She originally wanted to say something, but seeing the large amount of data about the Heart of Terra given by Ian, and various For the sake of the virtual world structure of the pre-era civilization, I immediately stopped talking and happily upgraded the dream world.

Although there is no cooperation between the Seven Cities Alliance, the Seven Cities Alliance has a tacit understanding with the Western Empire, that is, Carlos. In this age of great strife, when the two sides still have a lot of trade relations, it is not surprising to give them some face.

Especially since the fifth level of the Seven Cities Alliance is getting older and it is still difficult to find an heir, he wishes he could be a little transparent and have a good relationship with everyone.

The Land of Flying Flames is not close to the sea. The most difficult thing is actually the mark of passage in the hand of the person who sheds the pupa on the Land of Flying Flames.

But it’s only relatively difficult.

When the Flying Flame Land under Ian's control began to detain prisoners on a large scale and execute criminals, the Chrysalis tried to cooperate with Ian and asked Ian to come over and capture some of the prisoners in the Flying Flame Land.

No one is stupid. After seeing Ian's operations, everyone will know how much this series of trials, denouncements and executions can attract the hearts and minds of the lower class, and the reason why many things are not done is because they are very difficult to do. Could it be that unjust, false and wrongful convictions are caused, and the screening and trial efficiency is very low.

But now, Ian's prophetic ability is actually useful in this aspect, so the Chrysalis can naturally put aside everything and ask for cooperation from Ian, a colleague who is also the 'King of the Flying Flame Land'.

Although Ian was a little surprised, he naturally agreed happily. The Chrysalis did not alienate him, but actively asked for cooperation. This was a good thing that he did not expect. Killing more scum was definitely not a bad thing. He did not mind making the land of Flying Flame Land more fertile.

After choosing to cooperate with Ian, the Chrysalis Savaga Niemathas discovered what a huge alliance surrounded Ian now.

First of all, the Silver Peak Territory, that is, the Grand Duchy of Nanling itself, is a new force that is developing rapidly and full of vitality.

The steel troops, drone troops and various heavy artillery troops that developed rapidly during the Demonic War have now become special units with extremely combat effectiveness. As the origin of the arcane path, the Grand Duchy of Nanling has huge potential. It is inferior to big forces like Junling Castle and Seven Cities Alliance.

And after Ian defeated King Jhin and had two more top bloods in his hands, the potential of the Grand Duchy soared to the forefront of the major forces in an instant: no one would believe that Ian would hand over these two top bloods to others. People, whether it is Adlbert, Isengard, or the true dragon Xio, all have the potential to reach the fifth energy level.

If the Grand Duchy is really allowed to produce two more fifth levels, then the Grand Duchy can compete with the Empire and the Cangtian Royal Court. Comprehensive warfare is about the same level as Yanjiang.

But the empire is not Ian's enemy - even the blood of the throne was brought back by Ian. Now, both the Eastern and Western empires are quite close to Ian. Cooperation and even dialogue between all parties require Ian. As an intermediary, it can even be said that Ian is the glue that bridges the Eastern and Western empires.

The Seven Cities Alliance, headed by the Empire, naturally has a very good relationship with Ian.

In addition, cities such as the City of Knowledge and Far Shore Island have some cooperation with Ian. Although Jinggeya maintains neutrality, its trade with Nanling is increasing, and it is at least considered a strategic partner.

Coupled with the fact that Canaan Moore and the Holy Mountain, who had cooperated before and had an obviously close relationship, and the Psychic Artifact Order that had just recently made a bet... a huge net completely covered the southwest and central part of the Terra continent.

Unknowingly, a huge alliance with Ian as the core has emerged.

This alliance stretches from the New World in the west to Canaan Moore in the east, from the Holy Mountain in the North to the far south of Terra, and includes more than 50% of the population of the entire continent.

If everyone in this alliance supports Ian Silver Peak, then there is no need for other extra votes, and the perpetual motion machine will be his.

It's just a pity that no matter how great Ian's charm is, it is not enough to win over everyone in the alliance, and this alliance can only be said to be a collection of people who have a good impression of Ian Yinfeng and trade with each other. Members within the alliance The relationship between them cannot be said to be good, they can even be said to be ancient enemies.

Ian is quite optimistic about this: "As long as I deal with Junling Castle, Eastern Empire, Gantrigram, Yanjiang and Cangtian Royal Court, the remaining Nine Cold Federation and Far Sword Port will not matter at all. "

"Oh, there are also goblins and dead mountains, but they are not human, their population is small, and their priority is not high."

The Chrysalis saw through this, and did not want to be surrounded and isolated by this grand alliance like Mount Ridge Castle, so he directly chose to cooperate - he is not the King of Jhin or the Flame, and has always been willing to mediate.

However, even with cooperation, the Chrysalis is still a little curious.

[The light world has not been activated - the cycle that lasts for hundreds of years has not yet begun, and it will probably take another twenty or thirty years before the light world wakes up]

He said: [Now that you enter it, there will not be extremely rare life-extending materials like the 'Pearl of the Light Realm', and there will not even be many other spiritual materials. You are so young, why are you so interested in it? 】

"I didn't go there for the material."

Ian said: "I am going for the light world itself."

At this moment, they have arrived at the entrance to the light realm, which is located between reality and virtual realm.

On the seabed of the Silent Sea, the deepest and most secret seabed of the Terran Mediterranean, there is not a single sound. The swimming of deep sea creatures and the distant calls of sea beasts all gradually disappeared, leaving only the suddenly sunken deep sea canyon, the deep gap that seemed to go deep into the center of the earth.

And it is as if it goes straight into the depths of the fissure in hell, with endless light pouring out from it. White mist lingers on the bottom of the sea, and fluorescent light illuminates the surroundings, making everything feel like heaven.

And in the deepest part of the canyon, in the center of many clouds of light, you can see a huge cave located between reality and virtuality.

This cave does not exist in both worlds: it does not exist either from the physical world or from the virtual world. Only creatures like goblins, or creatures with a mind-light body, can see it clearly from both worlds at the same time. Its true appearance, and it can be said to exist in both realms at the same time, because around it, the sea water rotates endlessly, forming a silent whirlpool, and the spiritual energy of the virtual realm is also surging and turning like reincarnation.

[This is the entrance to the light world]

Stopping at the edge of the submarine canyon with Fairy Ian, looking at the light cave from a distance, the pupa calmly said: [It seems a little unremarkable, but if it is the active period, the entire Grand Canyon will be filled with light, like a The huge wound and crack spans a small half of the Sea of ​​Tranquility]

Ian looked at the canyon and couldn't help but think deeply.

Obviously, this canyon is not normal: although the collision between the Feiyan Plate and the Setal Plate gave birth to the Absalom and Byson Mountains, the Sea of ​​Tranquility is not the product of plate collision and oppression. Even if it is, it should be It raises mountains, not tears out canyons.

This is an ancient impact wound... Thousands of years ago, when the sky fell, there was a huge thing falling from the sky that penetrated the sky and the ocean, hit the planet, and its majestic power tore through the entire planet. The seabed finally penetrates the boundary between the real world and the virtual world, and penetrates into the deepest part of subspace.

That is the world of light. A huge ‘sky-falling maze’.

"There should be more than one entrance."

Ian raised his head and looked to the side of the entrance: "But this is the largest, most obvious, and most stable."

"Of course, it's also the most dangerous."

At this moment, the direction Ian was looking in was a trace of dusk-like light hidden in the pure white light.

This light is silent, dim, and seems peaceful, but in fact it contains extremely terrifying dangers.

It is hidden in the light vortex around the entrance to the light world, spinning calmly, like a blade flying around a tornado. It cannot be seen for a while, but it is extremely dangerous when encountered.

【Silent Demon (Twilight Demon)】

[Fifth Energy Level·Grudge Entity·Twilight Seed·Immortal Curse]

[Born from the sigh of light, the fall of stars, a trace of unfathomable regret and grief, and the endless resentment after a planet suffered a huge disaster, it finally condensed into a demon. The True Demon of Silence is not a simple demon, but an active curse entity. In other words, the True Demon of Silence will not be expelled or purified by ordinary expulsion methods. As long as the source of resentment still exists, it will Eternally existing, immortal and immortal]

[After the death of the Star God, whether it is thoughts, souls or resentments, they should return to the great ether circulation. However, due to various unknown reasons, his remaining thoughts were mixed with the residual hatred of the death of all living beings, and turned into this silently staring demon]

【……】

"really."

Raising his brows, Ian whispered to himself: "Is that dusk-colored light spot the True Demon of Silence..."

Ian had already heard the name of the True Demon of Silence from Adebert when he was fighting against the 'Death River Arms' equipped by Viscount Awak in the Avak Laboratory. As one of the most powerful demons in this world, the True Demon of Silence has no nest and is hidden in the deepest part of the Sea of ​​Tranquility. No one knows whether it is because of the name of the Sea of ​​Silence that the True Demon of Silence gets its name, or whether it is because of the Silence. Mo Zhenmo, so the Sea of ​​Tranquility is called the Sea of ​​Tranquility.

And now based on the information in Star God's Gift, it seems that the reason why the Sea of ​​Tranquility is the Sea of ​​Tranquility is because of the True Demon of Silence.

——It turned out to be the sigh of the Star God after his death... maybe it was more than that. The entire light world has a high probability to have something to do with the fallen Star God.

This is considered the fifth energy level, and can even be said to be news that only the strong at the fifth energy level can know.

At this moment, Ian was very interested. He turned his head and said to the pupa: "Why do you call it the True Demon of Silence?"

[You cannot communicate in the light world, and you cannot exchange information with each other when you are close to the True Demon of Silence. Everyone can see each other, but they cannot transmit even a little information to each other. This is the origin of the name Silence]

The chrysalis looked in the direction of the Silent Demon and said softly: [The Silent Sea is almost windless and waveless. Some people say it is because of the influence of the Silent Demon's power, but to be honest, it basically won't take the initiative... ...In other words, unless someone wants to destroy the light world and kill it, the Silent Demon will never take the initiative to attack anyone or any creature]

[Its body is located inside the light world, and what is outside is just a tentacle, or in other words, an eye]

"interesting."

Ian nodded slightly, then turned to look at the chrysalis: "Do you want to go in too?"

【Look at you】

The pupa man said very calmly: [If you don't want me to see it, then I will leave naturally. But if you don’t tell me, of course I also want to see what plans you, the strongest person of the new generation, have in mind, and why you insist on coming here]

"Then come and take a look."

Ian had nothing to hide at this moment. He stepped forward, past the silent real demon, and strode towards the entrance of the light world.

The pupa man followed silently behind him.

Buzz——

In front of the entrance to the Light Cave, a series of mark runes appeared on Ian's body. Some are signatures, some are seals, and surrounding the light cave, the psychic fields left by the major forces have also opened gaps to allow Ian to enter.

Although Ian can completely crack it with violence, if you give these big forces a face, they will also give Ian a face.

Savaga also took out a seal from his arms and opened the last door for Ian. From the beginning to the end, the True Demon of Silence did not make any movement. He was still calmly surrounding the entrance to the light world as he was in the past.

But in fact, Ian sensed that the 'Star God's Gift' in his fairy body was vibrating slightly.

He turned his head and looked at the dusk-colored light outside the light hole.

It's like looking into a dim star.

At this moment, I seemed to feel a great sadness - the sadness of having failed my mission, the confusion about the future, and the sigh of my own fate.

Buzz——

Suddenly, the entire entrance to the light cave, or even the entire light world, began to vibrate slightly, causing noisy waves to appear on the bottom of the Sea of ​​Tranquility, which had been quiet for thousands of years.

Waves of light ripples spreading in concentric circles spread in all directions on the dark seabed.

[This, this is? ! 】

Following Ian, the Chrysalis' expression changed slightly - he had been to this area countless times. It can even be said that the reason why King Jhin was able to understand the core idea of ​​'Reincarnation of Fire' was also related to the Light Realm. There is a huge connection, but neither he nor King Jhin have ever caused such a huge change in the light world.

Raising his head, the King of Nirmathas looked at Ian with surprise and surprise - although the other party had never answered his question of 'why he wanted to go to the light world', until now, everything was silent. Sound.

Ian Silverfeng may really have a great connection with the light world!

And just when the pupa was shocked, Ian had already taken a step and entered the light world. Savaga had no time to continue to be shocked. He calmed down, took a deep look, and there was a slight fluctuation. The Silent Demon, who was completely different from the past, also stepped into the light cave and entered the light world.

Light world.

A world of light constructed from countless kinds of light, with a magnificent iridescent halo but a pure white base.

The moment he entered the light world, Ian subconsciously took a deep breath.

The body of an elf does not need to breathe, but with just such an 'unnecessary breath', the wings of cross star light behind him began to spread, expand, and grow like ice flowers on the water in winter.

--What's this? !

Feeling the endless expansion of power in his body, Ian lowered his head in shock and looked at his hands. Then he saw that the light wheels spinning behind his fairy body began to emerge one after another, and even grew bigger and bigger - huge Psychic power and source matter, and even the ether of the entire light world, are pouring into him endlessly!

"This is the life force of the Star God?!"

At this moment, Ian has reacted. His feeling at this moment is just like the feeling of receiving endless energy supply in the disaster of light, and it is even more surging - the entire light world is filled with the endless residual vitality of the Star God!

And as a holder of the Star God's Gift and a young Star God, it's no wonder that these energies are poured into him for free, just like meeting a relative!

But this is just the beginning.

Raising his head, Ian, who had just suppressed the shock in his heart, couldn't help but feel another shock.

Because, he saw... a sun.

A dead sun.

Above the sky in the light world, a dim sun shines, flowing with white 'tears', falling from the sky to the ground.

The essence of those tears is that they are densely packed and can be called endless white 'virtual realm machine gods', just like ants climbing on the corpse of a giant beast, climbing on a huge, dim twilight light group. .

There are so many of them that they even cover the surface of the twilight sun, connecting from the sky to the earth, like tears falling, overflowing to form the world of light.

"This is……"

Ian took a deep breath and stared at the 'sun' and 'river of tears' above his head.

The surface of this light group is a soft golden halo, and its core is dark and dim, like a black hole. Countless golden light patterns connect the two like lightning, making it look like a slightly closed eye. , a dead god's eye, staring tiredly at the world.

It doesn't move - even if countless virtual realm machine-gods who are the natural enemies of demons climb on it, and there are even many fourth-level machine-gods.

This is the True Demon of Silence...the true body.

But at this moment, it moved.

The dim sun trembled slightly, and the dark core locked onto Ian.

Then, words.

【Star God...】

The silent true demon spoke his first words in sixteen hundred years: [Compatriots...]

[Have you... finally returned? 】
