[Why do you suddenly ask this question]

The voice of the Extreme Wind Dragon King came from all directions: [Did your half body encounter this kind of existence on the earth? 】

"Yes."

Ian closed the crystal panel in front of him, lowered his eyes, and looked around the database: "There is a demon in my territory, a fusion of psykers and demons, a being that has both intelligence and demonic power."

The area he was in was the "data storage area" of Dragon Island. It was composed of giant crystal trees that were densely packed like a forest. Each branch represented a branch of corresponding information, and each leaf was a specific information chip.

Here, Ian returned the 'Dragon Crystal' of the 'Blazing Star Dragon' to Dragon Island - in exchange, Ian gained the right to freely read Dragon Island's data.

It sounds like a loss, but in fact, Ian, who has the gift of the Star God, records every one he sees, and the profit cannot be greater.

The Ji Feng Dragon King also knew this, so he found a reason to recycle the legacy of his mentor and do Ian a favor by the way.

Ian also learned a lot of new technologies from Dragon Island's technology, so he was able to rely on the Heart of Terra to create an 'automatic combat armor' that could operate automatically in just five months.

【Yeah】

Hearing Ian's words, the omnipresent voice of the Extreme Wind Dragon King seemed a bit heavy. Although his expression could not be seen, Ian could imagine that the other party was sighing: [Someone will eventually take this step, sooner or later... 】

"Have other people... no, other civilizations made this choice before?"

Ian keenly sensed the emotion of the Extreme Wind Dragon King, and he asked curiously: "What are you doing by merging demons? Why don't you follow me and transform into a goblin, or maybe the pre-Era civilization of Terra made its own machine god?"

[Whether it is a fairy, a machine god, or a devil, in the final analysis, it is the same path]

Ji Feng Dragon King said: [The road called spiritual ascension]

[Any civilization that is proficient in psychic energy will take this step. Infinite souls gather in the subconscious sea, resentment turns into demons, blessings turn into angels, the natural ones become goblins, and the artificial ones become machines.]

[And the path you Terra is taking now can be called 'Essence Ascension'. These two paths do not conflict, but for those civilizations that have not broken through the starry sky, choosing one path is difficult enough. There are no resources to practice on this path]

[And these two roads will eventually be integrated]

[That is to say, Terra is in a special situation now and can run two routes in parallel]

"Is there also mechanical ascension?"

Ian became interested: "Isn't this a lot of money?"

[Indeed, there are quite a few] Ji Feng Dragon King said: [Rather, most civilizations will develop some mechanical technology. Even in pure biological civilizations such as insect swarms, some individuals will use machinery as their main structure]

[In general, the road to civilization is nothing more than these three, and demons are one of the very important branches]

After a pause, Ji Feng Dragon King thought for a while, and then said: [With the changes of technology and times, the more chaotic, cruel, and crazy a civilization is, the more demons will breed]

[If there is no technological breakthrough, this civilization will perish because of the devil. This is the first big limiter in the universe]

[However, even those civilizations that are chaotic, cruel, crazy and terrifying still have a glimmer of hope - they can choose to convert the entire civilization into demons and embrace chaos and terror]

[Converted to the ‘Kingdom of the Abyss’]

When speaking of this, Jifeng Dragon King was quite emotional: [Although this kind of civilization is rare, once it appears, it will be a disaster for surrounding civilizations - they are extremely xenophobic, and they will never think about win-win cooperation when encountering other civilizations. They only think about win-win cooperation. We must eat up the souls of other civilizations and leave nothing behind]

[They are an aggregation of pure destruction and appetite, with the mission of conquering other civilizations... The Creator believes that this is also a manifestation of the essence of life, so he cannot bear to eliminate it, but chooses to gather this civilization together and bring it together Into the abyss star field, let those who choose cruelty be cruel to each other]

Ian was silent for a while. He didn't comment on what the Star God did, because he didn't care about such small things.

He just thought...a strange possibility.

"The Extreme Wind Dragon King."

The white-haired boy said cautiously: "Then... our current Terran civilization seems to meet this condition?"

"Chaos, horror, cruelty and madness, I feel like I have a little bit of them all..."

【really】

Ji Feng Dragon King actually admitted it! He said calmly: [That’s why I feel that it is not strange at all that demon fusion technology appears in Terra. Rather, it should be there in the first place]

[But don’t worry, order on this planet is still better than chaos, and peace is better than terror, but it’s just a little cruel and crazy]

[However, if a world war breaks out, order and peace will be lost. At that time, there may be a period of rapid increase in demons.]

"I thought you were repelling demons."

Ian heard that the Extreme Wind Dragon King had a very equal attitude towards demons. I am afraid that he really regarded demons as a kind of life just like Star God.

He was a little confused by this attitude: "After all, the Dragon Clan has been fighting demons all the time. The King of the Mountain, Xiou, and the First Prince... The alliance between you and other countries probably requires humans to help you resist the demons."

【Confrontation?】

Ji Feng Dragon King was noncommittal: [In your eyes, that’s how it is, but Ian, haven’t you already learned from your mentor about the curse that continues in our dragon bloodline? 】

[We are not trying to eradicate the devil, we are just fighting the curse within ourselves]

"Curse..." Ian whispered. He had some guesses in his mind, but deliberately pretended not to know and asked: "Isn't that what flows out of those destroyed fires?"

He wanted to get the correct answer from the True Dragon King.

[It seems that this time you just used the mouth of the ‘half-demon’ to test the truth from me]

The Extreme Wind Dragon King sighed, and the thunderous dragon head condensed in mid-air. He looked at Ian deeply, and then said: [In this case, then I will tell you]

[Ian, remember, there is no need to test us... We are not human beings. Since we are compatriots, I will tell you everything I know]

With that said, Ian followed the guidance of the Extreme Wind Dragon King and left the Dragon Island database.

They flew out of the ground and came to a void of space.

And flying out with the Extreme Wind Dragon King was a complete set of observation components.

The brilliance of the ether was flowing, and the Jifeng Dragon King built a huge 'mirror' in front of himself, but this mirror used the universe and space as the mirror body and the ether as the mirror surface, reflecting an illusory and hazy image.

The first image that emerged was that of a blazing star.

Terra Sun - or its Terra scientific name [Heavenly Father].

Ian was a little confused at first, but the camera kept zooming in, making Ian slightly startled.

Among the sunspots on the sun's surface, he saw clusters of solar gases moving at sub-light speeds... These gases were obviously not the result of the natural movement of the sun, but the trajectory of biological actions.

They continuously shuttle among the sunspots, forming a large number of "Chuan"-shaped structures, and some individuals will fly away from the sunspots and fly around the sun.

That is……

"Sun Bird!"

Ian looked at it several times and finally determined the identity of the other party. He was a little shocked: "So this kind of monster really exists in the wild? I thought it was an alien god, and it became Setal after being defeated. The blood of the top family..."

[These are the only few left. It is extremely difficult for sunbirds to reproduce and require intense star activity to activate their reproductive systems...]

The Extreme Wind Dragon King said with some regret: [And it is almost impossible for them to give birth to wisdom - their instincts are too strong and can cope with all difficulties, and their thinking speed is too fast, leaving no room for thinking, so they are easily trapped in traps]

[But they are not the protagonists, Ian, please look again]

Ian was a little confused at first, but he soon came to his senses.

He sneaked his spirit into the virtual realm and observed the sun in the 'virtual realm'.

Then he saw it.

On the surface of Terra's Father Star, in the area where the sunspots are located, there are huge swollen and rotating eyeballs. They are constantly rotating, releasing endless cold malice into the universe.

While Ian was watching in shock, the Extreme Wind Dragon King slowly said: [Those are the fire element civilization 'Wilbur', 'Forbidden Mo', the light element civilization 'Sanding', 'Group' and 'Kama', and the thunder element civilization' After the destruction of twenty-two civilization fires such as Falvi and Visa, the curse accumulated in the Terra star]

[Civilization is destroyed, fire collapses, and the remaining consciousness accumulates in the virtual realm and turns into the devil's lair... Although it is not powerful, no fifth energy level has appeared so far, but once it appears, it will be the 'Sun Devil' The king' is the strongest individual in a civilization comparable to the ascension of demons]

The Extreme Wind Dragon King controlled the camera. This time, what appeared in front of Ian was Terra's first planet, Mercury, the planet closest to the sun.

This metal planet that is tidally locked, half baked by the sun and half in extreme cold, is a star of broken gears that is constantly twisting and reorganizing in the virtual realm.

[This planet is the place where the fire of silicon-based and other lava elements, and some metal-based life forms, has fallen. There are also some warcraft that have lost their intelligence and survive on it]

It can be vaguely seen that among the huge metal rock formations, giant creatures as huge as mountain peaks are slowly moving... Their shapes are somewhat similar to the 'Titans' in the legend of Terra.

"Don't tell me that the fourth and fifth energy level potion materials come from other planets..."

Ian murmured to himself: "It shouldn't happen, right?"

[Indeed, there are much more lives on Terra than in these barren lands]

Ji Feng Dragon King said: [Currently, the only planets with stable demon lairs and some fire life forms are Terra, Mercury, Avro, Vesta, and some satellites around Deus]

[Yes, as you think, that is the area where the fire was scattered after the fire storage equipment was broken. It is also an area in the Terra Star Territory with relatively rich source matter]

indeed. Ian also knew that in the Lost Era after Terra fell from the sky, many alien gods came to Terra, and many of them were hatched on Deus and its satellites.

Of course, it's not just the Deus planet, but also the Sutton planet... There are many places in the Terra star field that can incubate fire, but the source-rich area that can gather demons seems to be the place before the sun and Terra. Three planets, and some planets around Deus.

On these planets, there are some fire remnants that are suitable for the local environment, but they have lost their intelligence and turned into monsters.

And this lost civilization, the curse of never being resurrected... is entangled on these planets and turned into an abyss nest.

The swollen eye on the sun, the Broken Gear Nest on Mercury, the twisting and corrupting storm on Aphro, the quicksand vortex on Vesta, and the dark tide around Deus...

"This is the swarm of void demons targeting the dragon clan..."

Using the dragons in the virtual realm to observe the Terra star field, Ian even had no energy left to take a breath. He just said slowly to himself: "So, the real dragon has been resisting and fighting against these monsters?"
