The Dragon God's messenger is a rumor that has recently appeared around the Baisen Mountains.

Many people say that the reason why three of the independent mountain people disappeared in the holy land of Xiahui Lake was precisely because they faced the dragon god's messenger and were destroyed by the thunder.

Although many merchants and bards spread rumors there, Chief Jiamu scorned them.

Thunder? It's just a new weapon for the Imperials.

Messenger of the Dragon God? In order to cover up their incompetence, the three remnant soldiers whose leader was killed just came up with excuses to evade responsibility.

No matter how many more there are, this is the method used by the Avod tribe to confuse other mountain tribes. If there really is a Dragon God messenger, why don't they show up earlier?

but now……

Not only Jiamubu, but also the people from Feiyan in the distance, and even the people from the Empire around the Qiang Mountain Gorge, also saw a silvery-white flame lighting up between the mountains.

The light turned into ripples, undulating among the clouds like a wave, flowing and spreading in all directions.

But compared to the mountain people who felt throbbing from the depths of their hearts, they were just a little confused - was it the aftermath of the battle? Or is there a powerful monster raging?

There are so many possibilities, so many secrets buried in the Byson Mountains.

"Send someone to investigate!" Captain Naimo ordered in his office at Feiyandi's Nanling headquarters with an indifferent tone: "Within three days, I want to hear a detailed report!"

"How many secrets are these mountain people hiding from me?" After the relevant persons in charge had gone out, he couldn't help but frown and muttered to himself: "It's all their fault for losing so many armors and armors. Most of the equipment and funds for the special operations team have been lost, and now the manpower for investigation is being reduced!"

"Qiangang Holy Mountain... Sure enough, many of the legends behind these mountain people's holy places are not false or exaggerated. There must be secrets behind them..."

"But why didn't the Imperial people search for the truth behind it in the first place? Was it because they couldn't or didn't want to?"

"Or, over there on Dragon Island..." Naimo fell into deep thought.

"Quick! Record all of this!" At the mouth of the gorge, Nauman City's intelligence officers took out their cameras to record the video. They took out simple communication devices and contacted Nauman City directly: "There is an abnormality in the mountain people's sacred mountain. There is currently no For more information, please request the Inspector Knight to investigate!"

"Received!" Nauman City's instructions also responded quickly: "There is already a patrol knight located around the Avod Department, code-named 'Guide', contact him as soon as possible!"

"Sure enough, it was a good move for Ian to go over."

In the Nauman City office, Colonel Mayowa was also trying to contact Ian, but due to electromagnetic interference, the communication crystal board that Ian carried with him could not be used, so he had to give up with regret.

However, he did not feel particularly upset - because of Ian's acumen and his decision-making, the empire now has a patrol knight located near the Holy Mountain of Qiangang, and he is closely related to the Dragon Worship Cult and Afu who caused this mutation. Tokube has a close relationship.

If nothing else goes wrong, when Ian comes back, they will get the most realistic on-site information!

of course.

After all, he, who was theoretically going to collect intelligence, was at the center of this storm.

These are the aftermath.

At this moment, under the Holy Mountain of Qiang Steel.

The flames shining at the top of the mountain gradually returned to stability.

Compared to Qing Chao, who just sighed with emotion like "Oh my God", Elder Manya raised his head and stared at the endless spiritual flames on the top of the holy mountain - the clouds and wind in the sky suddenly changed. The psychic field vibrated and rotated rapidly, forming a vortex like an upside-down mountain.

The bottom of this vortex is connected to a huge altar on the top of the Holy Mountain, just like the collision of two peaks between heaven and earth, forming a huge hourglass.

And the mighty natural spiritual energy is like an inverted seaport, manifesting at the intersection of the two peaks, sinking into the holy mountain, and turning into silver-white flames.

The dense array of inscriptions lights up and goes out across the entire Qiangang Holy Mountain, flickering on and off, absorbing this majestic energy.

"Spiritual energy returns..."

Elder Manya murmured to himself, gradually raising his voice: "The holy fire is rekindled?!"

This is the truth behind the Holy Mountain Dragon God Sacrifice Fire - a self-charging structure that absorbs natural spiritual energy to replenish its own energy.

Now it is the vision caused by its first activation after being dormant for a long time, but as long as some time passes, the superficial vision will recede, leaving only the pure flow of spiritual energy.

At that time, in the eyes of ordinary people, the Dragon God's sacrificial fire is an immortal holy flame that does not require any fuel and burns almost forever.

Elder Manya could not see this, he just realized that at this moment, the environment at the top of Qiangang Holy Mountain was the best environment for him to advance to the third energy level!

Such a huge amount of wind attribute essence has gathered together, and its structure is almost perfect. If he advances here, he will definitely be able to advance perfectly.

However, he did not rush up the mountain and take the magic potion.

Because the old man is waiting.

Waiting for a 'result' that can convince yourself and make him believe.

"Ian..."

He whispered to himself softly, clenching his fists, and his tone was filled with a hint of trembling from excitement and anticipation: "It's actually true... It's really possible?!"

The old man took a deep breath, and he made up his mind completely at this moment: "No matter what, whether you are or not - from now on, you are the only Dragon God messenger supported by the Avod tribe!"

At this moment, the fire in Avod's tribe has been lit.

Many mountain people have already picked up torches, lit lamp oil, and rushed towards the Holy Mountain of Qiang Steel in a hurry and anticipation.

And whether they were running or just waking up from home, everyone was looking up at the holy mountain in the distance and looking at the sacred fire in the distance.

And a figure stood in the center of the silver-white flames. The vast and majestic natural spiritual energy washed over his body. While washing his body, it also conveyed the message originating from the source of the holy mountain.

[Permission confirmation: Top administrator]

[The disinfection process is in progress... the 'Glimmer Cradle' is undergoing all-round purification...]

[Unable to connect to the core processor...]

[Unable to detect the fire situation in the cradle...]

[Warning: The shimmer cradle system is damaged, please repair it as soon as possible! 】

[Welcome, administrator]

Countless source matter, guided by an extremely subtle force, poured into Ian's body, washing away the impurities in his body - although according to the information passed into his mind, this was just a 'cradle system' A disinfection and purification process is carried out, but for people living on the earth, the so-called poisonous diseases cannot be avoided even by sublimators.

At first, Ian thought that the disinfection process would not take long, and even if it took a long time, it would not be harmful.

Indeed, there is no harm.

But it hurts so much!

As the cradle system began to flush and purify, Ian felt a faint numbness in every part of his body, as if he had been shocked by a small amount of electricity, and then began to heat up slightly, followed by a feeling like the sun was burning. Fierce pain!

This hot pain flowed to every part of the young man's body in an instant. His heart, lungs, hands, torso, legs, back, and head were all burning. This hot feeling attracted the silver-white Dragon God Sacrifice Fire to sink into him. The heat and pain in the body are constantly increasing!

"This feeling seems familiar!"

As Ian gritted his teeth and endured it, he felt that the pain was somewhat familiar - he quickly recalled: "It was the pain I felt when I first received the silver chip! But it was intensified hundreds of times - It’s a good thing that I’m at the second level now and can’t move to the fortified city, otherwise, I might not be able to withstand the disinfection and purification of the ‘Cradle System’!”

hot! Hot! It was as if every cell was burning, and the extreme heat, accompanied by an electric shock-like numbness, penetrated deep into Ian's bone marrow.

But... Ian felt an instinctive joy instead!

Even a prophet cannot be perfect in every step, especially due to limited conditions. Many times he knows that some potions may leave toxins, and some magic potions will leave useless source material structures, which will precipitate in the body and hinder subsequent follow-up. The advanced difficulty must also be done.

Especially the mountain people, most of their magic potion refining techniques are extremely rough, leaving a lot of toxins, and the distortion may be greatly increased... Even when the Kingdom of Dragon God was at its peak, their alchemy skills were far from being comparable to the empire and knowledge. Compared with such a big force as the capital.

But now, Ian felt that the flesh, blood, viscera, muscle fibers, and even every cell in his body began to reject harmful substances and structures of essence that were incompatible with him under the stimulation of pure essence.

Those useless sefirah structures have all been stripped away and rejected, while the existing sefirah structures are also being firmly strengthened.

During this process of purification and strengthening that penetrated deeply into the cells, Ian even noticed that the realm of extremes brought about by his 'half-magic potion' began to gradually stabilize.

This is something that even a prophet cannot do perfectly... In the final analysis, the Realm of Extremes is a brand-new technology developed by Ian based on Hilliard's theory. It is normal for it to have flaws, and it may also bring him some side effect.

Even if most of the harm is avoided with the power of the prophet, there are still some tiny toxins in the semi-magic potion that may accumulate and harm the body.

But now, it has all been cured and eliminated!

The special psychic phenomenon of 'Dragon God's Sacrifice Fire' does have quite powerful healing power. It stimulates your body while also continuously healing, so that your body will not be harmed during the purification process.

"No wonder! This may be the reason why the mountain people had the fourth energy level back then!"

At this moment, Ian's mind was like a mirror, and he suddenly understood why the alchemy skills of mountain people could not be called outstanding, but there could actually be strong men of the fourth level back then... The answer is this 'purification process'!

The activated dragon god's sacrificial fire is essentially a purification process. The quality of the mountain people's magic medicine is indeed not high, and it is likely to cause distortion and advancement failure, but as long as it reaches the second or third energy level, it will You can come to the Dragon God Sacrifice Fire to perform a self-purification...and then reappear in a perfect posture!

In this way, it is normal for them to have a fourth-level powerhouse.

Of course, not everyone is so lucky. Sublimators whose foundations are not deep enough and whose bodies are not strong enough are likely to fail to purify here, be seriously injured or even die, or even be thrown into the blacklist and unable to enter again.

This is the inheritance here in Qianggang Mountain. Different from the priest inheritance in Xiahui Lake, the inheritance here corresponds to the sublime ones, that is, the chiefs of the major tribes.

This can also correspond to what Elder Manya said before. In the past, the leaders of the mountain people would gather here for a conference-that might be a process of purification!

Soon, all the 'harmful substances' in Ian's body were purified, and his entire body received an almost perfect treatment.

If Ian had suffered any serious injuries before, or suffered from the sequelae of hidden injuries, he would be completely cured this time.

Buzzing... The green-gold colored water and earth essence erupted from Ian's body and spread towards the outside world, forming a small vortex. This is exactly the characteristic of the second energy level'manipulating the natural essence' - originally Yi En still needs a little thought to activate this ability, but at this moment, this ability seems to be Ian's innate instinct, completely solidified in his body.

As the purification process gradually came to an end, Ian's will gradually connected with the huge cylindrical thing in the center of the Holy Mountain.

The silver chip is also running slowly.

Layers of information covered his eyes.

[Important components detected: Glimmer Cradle-Tinder Storage Device]

[Status: slightly damaged]

[Structure: Good, the energy supply system is abnormal and has been repaired by simple methods]

[The fire storage device that was separated from the energy supply system due to a violent impact is currently roughly complete in structure, but the internal fire situation cannot be detected. It may have been completely lost. It is recommended to seal it to avoid the impact of the planet/star field/subspace environment. Contamination damage caused inside the cradle】

[Repair Difficulty: Medium]

【……】

Because he had already had contact with the 'Ghost Crystal Engine' once, Ian was familiar with the information retrieval and knew the information.

The shimmering cradle buried under the holy mountain of steel is essentially a device that contains 'fire' - if Ian had never been to the Great Maze of the South China Sea before, he would definitely be confused by this term.

But after Ian saw the research results of many alien fire spacecraft and ecology conducted by pre-era civilizations, he understood that behind this frivolous vocabulary, it may represent the 'everything' of an entire civilization.

Genes, ecology, culture, civilization, and even the 'soul system' like the Flower of Karin are all completely carried... representing all the things of a planet's civilization, or tombstones... it is the so-called fire.

The Shimmer Cradle is a device in the Skyfall spacecraft that is specially used to store the ‘fire’.

Because of this, it is equipped with an extremely powerful purification and healing function to ensure that the fire is not contaminated or damaged.

After knowing this, Ian had some enlightenment.

The Book of Silver Glory records a secret technique held by Qiang Steel Dragon. He will escape into the earth or mountains and undergo a 'transformation'. After a period of weakness, he can cure most of the things that are theoretically impossible to cure. of injuries.

This is Qiang Ganglong's 'secret method of transformation', and the mountain people have also developed the unique sublimation technique of 'earth healing'.

Ian was actually a little surprised at first. Qiang Ganglong was obviously not the kind of real dragon that was good at manipulating life force for self-healing. Why did he suddenly gain such extremely powerful self-healing ability?

Now it seems that... Qiang Ganglong's 'secret method of transformation' for self-recovery may have been realized by simulating the purifying and healing function of the Shimmer Cradle.

After all, the energy system of the Shimmer Cradle is damaged and can only be activated with the help of the surrounding natural sources. It may have to go dormant for a while. There is no way to completely cure a fifth-level person. Qiang Ganglong can only learn to do it by himself. .

but why?

Ian noticed that both Qiangang Mountain and Xiahui Lake were the result of Qianganglong's processing of some scattered parts of the sky-falling spacecraft. The power of the Youjing engine was guided by Qianganglong into the high mountains around Xiahui Lake. The source of the environment, and the Shimmer Cradle received a simple and primitive natural energy system, allowing it to operate again.

This kind of treatment has essentially enhanced Qiang Ganglong's power.

In other words, the real dragons have the technology to repair and store the fallen spacecraft, and they can even strengthen themselves through the fragments of the falling spacecraft.

But the real dragon is obviously not the pilot of the sky-falling spaceship - if it is so powerful, why are there humans on Terra?

However, even if it wasn't, the real dragon's original civilization level was definitely very high, or it could be said that it had a very close relationship with the sky-falling spaceship...

After retracting his thoughts for a moment, Ian realized that the Holy Mountain of Steel he had restarted and the secret method of purification contained in it... were a match made in heaven and earth for a friend of his.

Ian couldn't help but smile and shake his head: "In my opinion, the healing and purifying ability of the Shimmer Cradle can definitely remove the void toxins in Xio's body... He will most likely have a healthy body."

"The King of the Mountain family will love it."

However, that is what happened later.

At this moment, Ian felt that just like the Nether Crystal Engine, a large amount of information was being transmitted from the entire Qiangang Mountain, not just from the Cradle of Glimmer.

It's not just the fragments of the spaceship that fell from the sky, but more of it may be the memory left by the "Qiang Steel Dragon", the Baisen Dragon God.

Ordinary mountain people can only accept purification and receive the 'gift of the Dragon God' at most. Only Ian, who holds the silver chip, can obtain this deepest level of 'inheritance'.

So, at this moment, Ian closed his eyes.

He immersed himself in and accepted the most precious memories that could bring him closer to the truth.

The memory of the ‘true dragon’.

Thank you Teardropss leader!

Although I can’t add updates recently, I’ll make a note of it and schedule it as soon as normal updates resume!
