High Above

The light of the path is extinguished.

The prophet and the dragon both returned to reality and returned to Dragon Island.

The Thunder Dragon King stagnated in place. He fell into a long silence. The white-haired prophet swayed slightly, and then half-knelt on the dragon island. Even a body that could not move and fortified the city could not bear the backlash, and the blood instantly filled up. His eyes were full, and the whites of his eyes except the cyan pupils turned red.

But what is even more terrifying is the sound of broken souls - dots of fragmentary halos begin to appear behind Ian. They are the slow collapse of the third-level sublime's soul and mind-light body after suffering a near-fatal injury. fragments of heart light.

【Ian? 】Ji Feng Dragon King woke up from a dream. He thought, and layers of inscriptions lit up on the solid ground of Dragon Island. In just a few seconds, a sarcophagus-like life-saving capsule placed the white-haired boy inside. .

"...Thank you, Ji Feng Dragon King." With the help of the healing force field, Ian, who almost suffered a serious backlash such as the collapse of the ectoplasmic neural network and the simultaneous shattering of the soul and heart, could be regarded as taking a breath and spoke with a weak The voice said: "If I am alone, I might have to rest for a year or two, which would be terrible."

"After all, we don't seem to have much time, do we?"

[This is not a matter of time. You cannot harm your body like this! ] Ian's joke made the Dragon King glare at him, but then the Thunder Dragon sighed: [Endgame...it turns out that there is already Endgame outside our cradle? 】

At this point, Ji Feng Dragon King couldn't help but lower his head. He stared at Long Island with some confusion, and said with a bitter smile: [In this case, is our efforts meaningful? Although I don’t know why He didn’t destroy us immediately...but...as soon as He takes action, Terra will be destroyed immediately]

He sighed heavily - although he didn't know how a ball of thunder sighed, but Ian could clearly understand the Dragon King's emotions.

"No. He didn't notice Terra behind us, he simply noticed us."

Therefore, Ian gave a fairly certain answer: "If He had discovered Terra, the star would have collapsed into a black hole long ago."

"As for us, how can I put it... We are like a high-speed carriage that hit a giant mountain of lava - the mountain may feel that there is something there, but that's it. This situation will not matter in the end. I’m afraid it’s not unusual.”

"The real question is...why were we detected in the end?"

This is a very direct question - why can Yan finally detect the Dragon of Light but not the Terran Sun not far away?

In the life-support cabin, Ian was deep in thought while enjoying the treatment of Dragon Island technology.

In the "Path of Extinguishing Stars", I am a rather eccentric farming person.

For unknown reasons, Starfire Ian chose not to conquer Terra. Instead, he only used the technology and resources of Xiahui Leader and several allies to accelerate to the sky, and then used the resources of the moon and several other Terra planets to develop technology, using Head towards the outside world as quickly as possible.

Although a lot of possible legacy on Terra was abandoned, the speed was indeed very fast.

In just over twenty years, Star Extinguishing Ian successfully developed a mechanical dragon spacecraft that could reach the exit of Prison Star Prison.

Compared to Insect Calamity, which spent decades still circling the continent, it took Spirit Calamity Ian thirty or forty years to raise the souls of two generations of Terrans to drive the Void Breed to pull the carriage, which was not an unpleasant speed.

But Star-Fading Ian's move to go outside the Heavenly Hell triggered the Disaster of Light.

Because the gap in the Star Prison has actually been partially repaired. It is a layer of etheric space-time membrane that can slow down the speed of light. It isolates all interactions inside and outside the cradle, and even blocks supernova rays from unknown distances. , the savings are in place.

The mechanical dragon's action of breaking through the space-time membrane caused the accumulated supernova energy to explode. This is the true form of the Light Disaster.

In order to cope with the disaster of light, and to better escape from the Star Prison, Star Extinguishing Ian chose to use an unknown method to detonate the Terra Sun, artificially create a supernova explosion, and use the incredible source of energy that exploded in that instant to resist the impact. , and use this power to go outside the Prison Star Prison.

And the vehicle he chose may be the 'Beast of a Thousand Stars'.

At this moment, Ian actually somewhat understood why he wanted to fuse the bloodline of the 'Sun God Bird' with the 'Light Eclipse Refined Dragon'.

This is obviously prepared so that the Beast of Thousand Stars can better obtain the photochemical power of the Sun Bird!

The master of the Labyrinth of Terra that Inaga II originally wanted to be was probably related to the Beast of Thousand Planets... This lunatic from the previous generation was no different from Ian. The spiritual disaster Ian nurtured evil in the void, and Inaga The second generation obviously wants to tame the beast of a thousand stars and use it as his own vehicle!

One takes off by swallowing everyone's soul, and the other takes off by swallowing everyone's actinic changes - there is no difference between them!

To be honest, Ian himself felt that he might be a little too extreme.

The insect plague exploded the core of the earth, then the spiritual disaster exploded the planet, and finally the extinguished star directly exploded the sun.

So what do you want to do next? Did you blow up the Prison Star Prison?

I'm a little too extreme.jpg

By now, Ian is fully aware of the current situation.

Internally, the continent of Terra was full of contradictions. Within a few years, various countries began to use all-out force to fight a world war. Even the Xiahui Territory suffered a surprise attack by the elite regular army of the Flying Flame Land, resulting in heavy casualties. They were entirely fought with the newly developed mechanical dragon technology. If you win, if you want to conquer all of Terra, God knows how many people will die and how much time will be 'wasted'.

To the outside world, leaving the Prison Star Prison is a trivial matter, mainly because there are two major enemies, the Disaster of Light and the Demon of Finality.

The disaster of light is okay. In fact, as long as it turns into light, you won't be too afraid of the disaster of light... The most important thing is that Ian has to think of a way to leave the Star Prison without destroying the space-time membrane to ensure that the disaster of light will not happen. occur. By the way, we also need to find someone other than ourselves who might be able to destroy the space-time membrane.

The final demon is a problem that is difficult to find an idea.

"Did I release the fragments of the Demon of Finality at that time? Well... it's possible."

Ian recalled all the details in the omen, and he came back to his senses: "Although Terra's sun is massive, it is impossible to create that kind of explosion of movement, unless there is an external force involved."

"What a coincidence, all stars disturbed by the Demon of Finality will collapse and explode, turning into black holes."

"I seriously doubt that I used the fragments of the Demon of Finality to detonate the sun when the star was extinguished - I was going to run away anyway, the sun is in the way, so just blow it up."

"And because I blew up myself and caused the sun to collapse into a black hole, the Demon of the End will not pay attention to the direction of Terra!"

"What a genius idea!"

Ian nodded slightly, but even if he was a genius, he was still troubled by a problem at this moment.

——Why can the Demon of Finality discover him?

The Demon of Finality and the Star God have been fighting each other for so many years, and neither of them can figure out the identity of the other. Both parties are outside the other's logical circle, and they are basically fighting with fists to discredit each other.

First of all, it's not because of the light.

If the Demon of Ending could focus on light, then he would have taken action long ago after the disaster of light had accumulated for so long.

It wasn't because the cradle was damaged... the space-time membrane could completely cut off the Demon of Ending's perception. In the end, the Demon of Ending 'turned his head' not because of the Terran Sun, but because of the Dragon of Light.

What is so special about the Dragon of Light that it can be discovered by the Demon of Finality?

Ian pondered for a long time. He raised his head and looked at the center of Dragon Island.

black hole.

The Demon of Finality is a weird thing that comes out of a black hole.

They actually have nothing to say about the actions and 'wars' of the material universe. They simply turn stars into black holes, and that's it.

"I have a guess..."

Ian suddenly said: "Ji Feng Dragon King, do you know the structure inside the black hole?"

【Um? Know] The Dragon King raised his head and responded to Ian's words. He was a little confused: [What's wrong? 】

"Well... I'm just making a guess." Nodding slightly, Ian said thoughtfully: "If there is no ether, there are actually two universes outside and inside the event horizon of the black hole."

"Beyond the black hole event horizon, in the ordinary universe we live in, the time axis moves forward at a constant speed, while the displacement of the space axis changes with the change of speed. Simply put, creatures living in the ordinary universe will will inevitably come to their own end, but they can move freely throughout the universe."

"But within the black hole's event horizon, this is not the case."

"Due to the distortion of space and time caused by excessive gravity, the time axis will be affected, and even... interchange with the space axis."

"Because of the sheer gravity of a black hole, any matter within the event horizon is destined to have its space axis coincide with the singularity - exactly like the time axis outside the black hole."

"Just as human beings cannot defy time and return to the past, matter cannot defy infinite gravity and return to its previous position and return outside the event horizon."

"The displacement of matter inside the black hole's horizon becomes an irreversible and irreversible 'absolute' like the passage of time outside the black hole's horizon."

"In the normal world outside the black hole's event horizon, the movement of matter is from one point on the space axis to another point on the space axis while the time axis is moving."

"Within the black hole event horizon, the space axis of matter will only move along a fixed trajectory toward the singularity, just like time in the outside world. If matter wants to move, it will only move from one point on the time axis to another on the time axis. Point, just like the outside space.”

"Inside and outside the black hole's event horizon, the time axis and the space axis are reversed."

"In other words..."

Ian stared at the 'core' in the center of Dragon Island, and he slowly broke: "If there is 'life' in the black hole's horizon."

"Then, He must be a 'time creature' who is 'destined to fall into the singularity' but can walk on the 'time axis'!"

【this? ! 】

Ji Feng Dragon King opened his eyes slightly, and said with some difficulty: [But, if we use ether... we can travel through time and space and affect the timeline to a certain extent? Intelligent life is not a creature that can only move forward along the time axis...]

"That's because of the ether! Without the ether, can you reverse the time and predict the reverse time sequence?"

Ian lectured the Dragon King angrily about his naivety, and he discovered his misunderstanding. The other party was indeed knowledgeable, but his ideas were all based on the laws of the 'Terra Universe', or the 'Ether Universe', and he was completely trapped in the knowledge of the ether. See the obstacle - these dragons can't think without ether!

But we can’t blame them. After all, without ether, there would be no super beings like dragons.

In other words, only as a time traveler can I think with this kind of underlying logic without ether.

"To put it simply, the passage of time in our external world may also be a 'black hole on the time level', using its infinite gravity to attract us to the 'end of time' that belongs to us? After all, the universe itself may be A maximum event horizon."

Therefore, Ian calmed down and continued: "It is difficult for us to detect the creatures moving on the timeline. In other words, because of the event horizon, it is absolutely impossible for us to detect them, and it is absolutely impossible for them to detect us. .”

"But as you said, Dragon King, our universe has ether - ether runs through time and space. Star God's transformation of ether gives it the ability to penetrate the event horizon."

"So, the Demon of Finality was released."

"This group of time creatures who were originally destined to fall into the singularity and can only move on different timelines... are free!"

Speaking of this, Ian couldn't help laughing: "For us ordinary space-axis creatures, ether only allows us to transcend the constraints of space speed, achieve faster-than-light movement, and occasionally connect to parallel universes or the future. The prophetic power of information.”

"But for the ultimate, the power of the ether is too strong. This is completely complementary to them. With the ether, they can completely transcend their destined ending. They could only fall into the singularity. From then on, they can freely travel to any time and space."

"At the same time, they also retain part of the characteristics of moving the timeline... Well, in this case, the existence of ether may not be a good thing for the Demon of Finality, and this is not freedom."

Ian frowned. He thought for a while, looked at the core black hole of Dragon Island, and felt a little enlightened: "I understand, for the end, the existence of ether is also a disaster!"

"It's like our human time suddenly begins to become disordered, and things that exist in the past and future begin to frequently travel through, interchange, and even overlap each other. This is definitely an incredible natural disaster for the timeline life - even if they Being able to understand the greatness of the existence of ether is just like us humans can completely understand the greatness of time travel, but true time disorder is also an absolute natural disaster for us!"

In this way, Ian could barely understand why neither Zhongyan nor Star God could observe each other.

It's not just the difference between life on the timeline and life on the space axis - the most important thing is the inability to communicate with each other.

The Star God must have also thought about the timeline life, but the most important thing is that even if they are also space axis creatures, it is difficult to communicate and understand each other due to different life forms, let alone existences with greater differences.

In particular, the Star Gods have cultivated many lower civilizations themselves and know what 'other creatures' are... As for the timeline life inside the event horizon, do they have the concept of 'other lives'... Really It’s hard to say.

"To the end, everything in our material world is just something weird - like a stone that can travel through time. It occasionally appears yesterday, occasionally appears hundreds of years later, and humans occasionally appear Once I saw it, I couldn’t be sure whether it was real or not, and I might have thought it was my hallucination!”

"For the end, creatures like us that can run around on the axis of space are really weird to the extreme. They can only be seen for a moment at a certain time, which is enough to be called 'weird'!"

It sounds like a ghost story, and it is indeed a ghost story.

Ian guessed that the 'Light Dragon' he was driving on the way to the star-extinguishing road might have been discovered for a moment for some reason, and then he died because of the time and space surrounding the opponent that was very different from the normal rules of the universe, and the opponent There is no way to continue observing.

Of course, this is just the simplest inference, and it must actually be more complicated than Ian guessed.

Most of the creatures in the material universe use light, electromagnetic waves and other methods to observe other creatures. It should be the same in the end, but no one has found this method so far.

Moreover, even black holes have many different types.

The non-rotating and uncharged Schwarzschild black hole, the rotating and uncharged Kerr black hole, the non-rotating and charged Reissner-Nordstrom black hole, and finally the rotating and charged Kerr-Newman black hole...

The internal structure of the event horizon of each black hole is different, as well as the Cauchy horizon. There may be no causal effect at all within the Cauchy horizon. If it still has that characteristic...

"Forget it, let's wait until we do more research in the future."

Shaking his head slightly, Ian actually roughly understood why the Dragon of Light was discovered.

Because the Dragon of Light is not pure light like the Star God, but a 'photochemical' substance.

The relativistic effect caused by the Dragon of Light accelerating itself to extremely close to the speed of light will cause all life inside to have a relativistic effect, and time in the outside world will fly by. This is similar to the phenomenon of time slowing down when approaching a black hole, so it can finally see a blink of an eye. .

But it was only for a moment. Star God may have relied on this moment to defeat Final Yan three times.

The method adopted by Dragon Island's seal is to cut off the contact between the black hole and the ether, turning the black hole back into the most basic 'etherless black hole' - in this way, it will eventually be impossible to escape from the black hole.

Even in the end, he wouldn't feel that this was a seal... He was probably relieved, feeling that the strange and chaotic phenomena in the outside world had finally disappeared, and that their space was finally normal, and they could wait peacefully to fall into it. The moment of singularity has arrived.

【What you said does make sense...】

At this moment, Ji Feng Dragon King was completely convinced by Ian, and he couldn't help but murmured: [As expected of a pioneer... Originally, I was still thinking, with the greatness of the Creator, why would he search for the seeds of pioneers in the universe to join him? …Now I fully understand that every pioneer represents a kind of out-of-the-box thinking]

[In this way, can we avoid the prying eyes of the end and leave the cradle quietly? Even...communicate with them? 】

"It's difficult. The Star God must have tried all methods. The nature of the Final Demon must be greatly different from the 'ideal model' I described, just like a normal chicken and a 'vacuum' in an ideal environment. Spherical Chicken', according to our technology, it is impossible to find a way to communicate with the ultimate, at most it is to circumvent their observation ability."

Ian shook his head slightly. He didn't think he was unique. The Star Gods must have done everything they could. They were better than the last few times.

not to mention……

"Dragon King, look."

Turning his head from the life-saving cabin, Ian looked at the blue land of Terra.

The white-haired boy stared at the planet. He smiled slightly and said with a hint of helplessness: "Look, humans. People walk in the same time and space, have the same language and thinking, and almost the same thinking structure and logic. ."

"Even so, isn't there war and fighting? Is there deception and betrayal?"

"It is better to be able to communicate than not to be able to communicate, but after the ten heavenly holy wars... even if there was a possibility of communication, there is a high probability that it will now become a real war to the death."

At this point, Ian slowly closed his eyes and said softly: "My body is a little tired...Dragon King, I'm sorry, maybe I have to rest for a while..."

【……good】

The Dragon King looked at the young human in front of him with a complicated expression.

If he hadn't followed Ian's prophetic ability and known the omen together, it would have been impossible for Helmut Donabeville to imagine that the white-haired, slender child in front of him, who was even a minor in the civilization of the previous era, would actually be responsible for such a huge cause and effect. ability.

The existence in front of him can either save the world or destroy it.

When he was born on this planet, he was destined to bring everyone back to the starry sky.

And his madness went beyond the understanding of the Extreme Wind Dragon King...

Crazy prophet, crazy pioneer...

At this moment, the Dragon King understood the gap between himself and the 'Pioneer'.

[Get some rest, Prophet]

The Dragon King said this, and the life-saving capsule that enveloped Ian sank into the Dragon Island, and only his soul voice could be heard echoing: [I will guarantee that you will be reborn in the healthiest posture]

…

When Ian fell into self-healing hibernation on Dragon Island, Ian in the Alien Research Institute was in the subspace dragon nest of the Ice Mongolian Dragon.

There are not two Ians, just two bodies controlled by one will at the same time, just like the dual screens of a computer. When one is unplugged and turned off to rest, the other continues to work.

"Have I pushed myself too hard? Back then, Teacher Hilliard was just switching his left and right brains to sleep and think. I seemed to be working all the time..."

Ian muttered in a low voice, and Xiou on the side was keenly aware of the key word: "Sleep? Ian, do you want to sleep?"

"You can rest if you want to sleep!" Isengard immediately answered. He looked at Ian with a worried look on his face: "You have been fighting for so long, and you have forcibly separated your body and soul. If you don't rest, you may really have problems."

"On the contrary, I am very energetic." Shaking his head slightly, Ian looked around in the dragon's nest, and then found a specific place and stretched out his hand to wipe it: "My other body is fighting more. In fact, my soul is in addition to the super The load calculation has been running for a while without much consumption, and it has recovered during this period."

"Isn't it easy for Xio and Anfa to understand?"

"Indeed." "Indeed." The two dragon-blooded girls nodded, expressing their understanding - when this prosthetic body gets tired, just change to another prosthetic body, the soul is very relaxed.

Isengard says he is not dragon enough.

"That's it."

At this moment, Ian exerted force, vibrating the ice wall of the dragon's nest that was almost completely frozen by thousands of years of ice.

With a click, the ice on the surface of the ice wall shattered, revealing the translucent 'ice' behind it.

"Immortal ice." Ian nodded slightly, and he smiled: "It is still ice that has been infiltrated by the power of the dragon - the impact of the Qiang Steel Dragon on the environment will give birth to Qiang Steel Stone, and the Ice Mongolian Dragon's impact on the environment Influence will naturally breed unmelted ice.”

"The non-melting ice in the dragon's nest is tougher than ordinary non-melting ice, and the conductivity of the source material is better. It can be used as one of the raw materials for my 'temporary body'."

Although the fifth-level experts are still confronting each other in the virtual realm, Ian does not think that Axel cannot observe the people who leave the Alien Research Institute.

Therefore, he must find a material to fill his body as a substitute before going to the World Tree Capital to create a real 'prosthetic body'.

The non-melting ice with dragon attributes fits the needs of Ian, who theoretically should have dragon blood, a sublimated fairy blood.

"Is it enough? This is only a first-level material that does not melt into ice..."

Ethan stepped forward and helped Ian collect unmelted ice - after all, Ian is now in a soul state, and he needs to use source matter to affect matter: "Back in the capital of the world tree, how do you plan to make a prosthetic body? Do you have any leftovers? Is the previous physical bloodline backed up?"

"Of course not." Now that Isen is helping to deal with it, Ian is naturally happy to have a leisurely time. Using the soul to affect matter is half the result with half the effort: "However, I have quite powerful materials left in the Capital of the World Tree..."

As he said this, the sealed box and the fragments of the 'Ladder of Life Tree' in the box flashed through Ian's mind.

The young man smiled and said: "I just want to hide it, and make it into a prosthetic center to carry with me. It is also the best way to hide it."

"As for not melting the ice, it is indeed not enough, but it is enough. Anyway, I should be seriously injured now in theory..."

At this moment, Xio and Anfa also came to help and dug out a piece of unmelted ice that was almost the size of a person from the ice wall of the dragon's nest.

Everyone transformed the ice into a human form, and Ian's soul stood in front of the ice human form and slowly fell into it.

Although it looks very much like being possessed by Ultraman, and in fact the effect is indeed that of being possessed by Ultraman, Ian did not cause human death due to an accidental traffic accident.jpg

Soon, as the silver chips spread to all corners of the ice-free human form, and the goblin's source material structure began to connect, Ian's soul began to officially take over everything.

I have to say, thanks to the special nature of the goblin bloodline - goblins use these materials to shape their bodies. Ian used the unmelted ice to shape his body. In essence, it is an act of a goblin changing his body, but he is a goblin. ...that’s why he’s so big.

"Everyone."

Just when details began to appear on the body of the ice and snow humanoid, and the appearance began to change towards the original Ian, he said: "If you are willing, can you give me some blood? I need some biomass materials to cover this body. non-flesh biological nature.”

"Okay." "No problem!" "Yeah."

As soon as Ian said this, the three of Isen, Xio, Anfa and others all took a step forward. They took the initiative to take out the weapons from their arms and waists, and even planned to use their nails to cut the blood vessels: "How much do you want?"*3

"Ah..." "This..." "Well..."

When the three of them noticed the actions of the others, they were all stunned. After waiting for a while, no one took the initiative to withdraw, and the atmosphere suddenly became awkward.

"?"

Ian waited for a long time and found that the other three people were frozen in place. He raised his head and looked at it, and couldn't help but said: "What's the point of being humble? This is to help me. Everyone give me a little to save you." I lost too much blood, I was just pretending to be aura.”

"I understand..." "So that's it!" "Okay..."

With a rather complicated mood, the three people all shared a cup of their own blood.

"Thank you." Not sure why everyone was so humble and polite, Ian shook his head slightly, and then poured the blood on his hands.

As a layer of mimetic ice continues to simulate, skin that is very similar to humans but has a sense of enchantment and transparency begins to appear, and there is a vaguely extremely complex bloodline aura related to dragons.

At the same time, clothing continues to be generated, covering all skin. These clothes are even damaged, consistent with the marks left by 'Ian' from the previous battle.

Buzzing, as Ian shook his head slightly, shaking away the useless ice shards in his long hair, Ian once again had "flesh and blood" and a material entity was born!

"How about it?"

Ian looked at his hand, and there seemed to be nothing wrong with it except that it was a little too white, so he turned it around in a circle and showed it to his friends: "Is there any flaw?"

"Ah. I think it's good." "Wow, she's more fairy than before!" "Perfect. Really perfect."

After a delay, the three of them applauded sparsely. Among them, Anfa hesitated and said: "Although you look exactly the same as humans on the surface... But if someone really comes close to observe, they may still think you are cold. ah……"

"What's the point? I was originally of ice fairy blood." Ian shrugged. He shook his head with a smile and said, "Just say that I was injured and couldn't control my power."

"Let's go. I think the search and rescue team is almost here. It's time for us to leave the ruins."

The four-person team began to sort out the traces in the dragon's nest. Although Ian was sure that under his 'authority', no one would be able to arrive at the ice dragon's nest for exploration, but it was also his habit to be prepared for everything.

Before leaving, Ian took one last look at the ice dragon's nest.

"Ice Mongol Dragon..."

Whispering to himself, Ian thought of the snowy tops of the Byson Mountains and the reason why the Mountain King was lured away by the Flying Flame Land in the first place: "It seems that there are still many secrets in the Byson Mountains that are worth exploring."

Smiling, Ian turned his head and stepped forward.

Following the fluctuations in the subspace, he and his friends left this place.

I'll take a day off tomorrow to think about the follow-up details!
