High Above

"Huh?"

After Ian realized that the Dragon of Terra was communicating with him, he couldn't help but wonder: "What does this have to do with me?"

Although it is true that he acquiesced, all this should be a big job of the people of the Far Shore Island - could it be that by acquiescing to them to awaken the remains of the Dragon of Terra, he could be counted as one of the collaborators?

"Wait, besides us, is there anyone else who has received a response from the Dragon of Terra?!"

At this moment, besides Ian, the people on the Far Coast Island were also extremely shocked.

Just now, they broke through the interception of the two guardians of the empire and came to the ancient dragon's corpse with great difficulty. They spent a long time collecting it and spent a lot of money to buy a sufficient amount of dragon blood from the elves. The source awakened the remaining phantoms of the Dragon of Terra in its body.

To this end, they had been planning for decades and made countless preparations. They even obtained part of the blood of the Dragon of Terra from the ruins of the civilization of the previous era. Only then did they get the response of the Dragon of Terra and get their The coveted 'permission'.

In theory, this should even be the only one!

But why are there still people who can get the same response from the Dragon of Terra like them? !

good question! Ian doesn't know either.

The majestic true dragon above the sky calmly overlooked all this. He didn't care about the astonishment and confusion among these little people. He just looked around the entire Terra with a kind of longing.

His gaze was far-reaching and profound, reaching every corner of the earth. The dragon's eyes lowered, and he whispered: [It is still prosperous, but after all, it has retreated and returned to the old path of thousands of years ago]

【When will you be able to regain your glory】

[And now only one of the many continents in the past is left, so it’s no wonder that you want to awaken the vitality of another continent]

After hearing this, Ian knew why the people from Far Shore Island wanted to come over and awaken the Dragon of Terra.

As the force most focused on developing the New World among the major forces in Terra, Far Coast Island has many reasons - one of which is that most of their entire country's territory is on the mantle plume. The fifth-level powerhouse 'Cangxing' 'From time to time, it is necessary to take action to suppress the mantle movement of the planet Terra to ensure the survival of the country.

As long as there is a fifth energy level, this is not difficult, but because the fifth energy level needs to be permanently stationed on the far shore island, this also results in the far shore island being unable to open up to the outside world and can only be trapped in place.

Therefore, even though the New World is barren and terrifying, full of various subspace labyrinths and dangerous groups of monsters, and most of the area is composed of volcanic rocks and barren desert rock formations, they are still working hard to reclaim that barren land. Incomparably, there is not much land.

The Far Coast Island came here to look for the power of the Dragon of Terra this time. Maybe they discovered something in the New World, but only the authority of the Dragon of Terra can be activated...or maybe only the power of the Dragon of Terra can do something. That's why I joined the camp of the Flying Flame Land to declare war on the Empire, and then while all countries were intensively studying the arcane path, I used my strength to raid the giant city of Atlan and obtain authority from the Dragon of Terra!

For this reason, Far Shore Island may have specially prepared many ways to communicate with the Dragon of Terra, and even the blood descendants may have been created.

As for why the Dragon of Terra is so special to me...

【What about you, Prophet】

The Dragon of Terra is looking at Ian's defense line at this moment. His will is in the soul space, communicating directly with Ian's soul: [Possessing the blood of the ether crystallized dragon, the final creation body of the Terra Federation... You may have also been Across time and space, you caught a glimpse of the scene when I died, right? 】

[Those people wanted to use my power to prosper another continent, and I agreed]

【What do you wish for? 】

"Can you actually detect a gaze that transcends time and space?"

In the soul space, Ian returned to his original white-haired prophet's appearance. He couldn't help but raise his brows, a little surprised, but soon he calmed down and thought carefully: "What exactly do I want..."

After thinking for a while, Ian shook his head slightly: "I don't have any wishes. If I have to say it, it would be great if you could survive."

"If not, I hope you can rest in peace."

[Haha, I hope I can live...if I can, I want it too]

Hearing Ian's thoughts, even the calm Dragon of Terra burst into laughter: [As for rest, it is already very difficult for a being of my level]

[As long as my flesh and blood remains still exist, I will not die completely... Death is no longer that simple for a true dragon of our level]

[Only when our physical bodies are consumed, when our spirits and wills give up on themselves, when our souls and memories are consumed in the sea of ​​ether...]

[Until then, the entire large ether circulation collapses, and we can truly die]

[Before that, we are all in a state of waking up, neither alive nor dead, and cannot sleep peacefully]

"No sleep..."

Ian chewed on this word, shook his head and sighed: "If the Star God is still there, it's not that he won't be able to sleep well, but that he will return eventually."

"I just said that the period of deactivation of the true dragon after five hundred years is really strange. Is it possible that the Star God appears every time to recycle it? Now it seems that it is indeed the case. The soul of the true dragon will return to the world after death. The ether circulation is waiting for the Star God to recycle and revive it again."

even……

Ian thought of 'Chosen Psychic'. Those powers of a psyker that do not fade with death.

In a sense, the soul of the true dragon may be some kind of innate immortal soul of the chosen one, and it is preserved by the great ether circulation.

Perhaps, the Star God has really mastered the technique of resurrection... and it is very perfect.

[Well, you actually know this? 】

The afterimage of the Dragon of Terra looked at Ian with some surprise: [In this case, you should also understand that I can neither live nor rest in peace. Although I am just a phantom that was briefly awakened now, the ‘I’ that is awakened next time will not be the same me now... But I do know some secrets that are extremely important to you]

[I would be very happy to help you, the future generations. So, if you have any doubts, just ask]

He laughed softly and said: [I will answer because I also want to leave some traces]

"……good."

Ian's mind was spinning. He thought a lot, but in the end, he simply asked the question he wanted to know most: "Perpetual motion machine. Nether Crystal perpetual motion machine."

"The fall of the Star God spacecraft caused the Nether Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine to fall to Terra. Now the Perpetual Motion Machine is producing a large amount of source matter, leading to the deterioration and extreme of the environment on the planet Terra."

"I need to find it."

Ian said straightforwardly: "Whether it is to continue to promote the 'Cradle Project', or to make the perpetual motion machine available to me and prevent it from being obtained by other Terrans, I want to know its specific form and authority."

[Perpetual motion machine... Really, the Cradle Project has not completely failed yet? 】

Afterimage murmured: [Yes, this is the greatest legacy of the Creator. If you can get it, you will either destroy yourself or create a new era and return to the past glory and glory era...]

There was silence for a while.

But in less than five seconds, Afterimage seemed to have figured out everything, and said directly to Ian: [This is not a secret in our era - the Nether Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine is not an entity, it is Ether array composed of four levels of authority]

[The first level is the authority of the Creator... Well, Prophet, you are the holder of the Gift of the Star God, maybe you naturally have this authority advantage]

--good!

Hearing this, Ian's eyes lit up, and he said that in addition to simply guiding the evolution of life, the Star God's Gift should also have other 'privileges'... Looking at it now, the Star God has given the Star God's Gift The pioneer of civilization, in a sense, has been regarded by the Star God as one of his own by default.

If you think about it carefully, geniuses who can be favored by the Star Gods, if they are not in a primitive civilization, may be called elites among the Star Gods, and they shoulder the responsibility of pioneers, which is to lead their entire civilization to become Star God!

It's no wonder that the original Huaiguang Church was so special to Inaga II... They may have also vaguely realized that only with the gift of the Star God would they have the opportunity to activate the Nether Crystal Perpetual Machine and complete the Cradle Plan!

[But this authority is not just a gift from the Star God] Afterimage seemed to notice the excitement in Ian's heart. He shook his head and said: [Perhaps some of the wreckage in the Creator's spaceship also has its own authority]

[Just like me, as the guardian of Terra Star, I also hold a permission... My permission is also lost with the loss of my fire. If it splits, then my permission will also split into Multiple copies]

This is the second level of authority, the authority of the Dragon of Terra Star Guard. However, the fire of the Dragon of Terra has been taken away by Inaga II, and it is now most likely in the imperial capital.

"I see……"

Ian knew more clearly that Huaiguang and Inaga had definitely cooperated in this regard. In a sense, they had already obtained two permissions for perpetual motion machines!

[And the third authority comes from the ancestral dragons that are connected to me]

Afterimage raised his head, he looked up at the clouds and night sky above his head: [They are responsible for building the skeleton of the cradle, so they hold the key to start and control the perpetual motion machine in their hands]

[Nowadays, the ancestor true dragons have all passed away... I don’t know where their authority is now]

Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but frown.

The authority in the hands of the ancestor true dragon?

This is actually not surprising. If Terra and the Dragon of Terra are the landlords of the local star field, then the Ancestral Dragon is the contractor of the Star God construction team, and the other mentors, the True Dragons, are the engineers. The third-generation True Dragon Master The probability is that of the construction workers - in fact, if the skyfall disaster hadn't happened, the mentor lineup wouldn't have had to use fire to create the third-generation true dragon. Through the large ether circulation, they would have been able to capture many similar things that are half-dead now. Death dragons like the Dragon of Terra come out for construction.

This kind of dragon soul that has long been experienced is more effective than any kind of fire.

However, the reason for Ian's frown was that there seemed to be five of the ancestral true dragons who were disgraced.

"Their authority...won't be five, right?"

Ian asked cautiously, and Afterimage simply nodded: [Indeed, there are five copies]

[But there is no need to worry... According to my understanding, if the ancestor true dragon dies, they should all be united and have authority in one place]

No, no, no, the true ancestor dragons fought among themselves and broke a star... Their authority may indeed be in the hands of the victorious ancestor, but it may not be, because other losers may want to stop the victorious ancestor. The real dragon achieved its goal and gave away his authority.

Now it's troublesome. Ian feels that he has to ask the Dragon King about these things in the end - wait until he has time and the Dragon King and the Void Realm Machine God have killed the rioting demons.

And, not only that...

Ian still remembers the many illusions he saw in the Silver Sky Gate.

Among the thousands of different future directions, Ian saw a phantom in which he went to the outer orbit of Terra to look for possibilities, but was caught first.

By now, Ian already knows that the person who got that possible opportunity is the second prince of the empire, Mikael.

Although theoretically speaking, it is just the blood of the top seat left by the true dragon in the past, but what if the blood of the top seat contains the authority of a certain ancestor true dragon?

Although it can't be all of them, at least there is a portion, right?

——This matter was also learned from Mikael at some time.

Moreover, if Inaga II had not died, then at this time, the Setar royal family would have obtained three permissions... To say the least, it would have been a little more than two!

This progress is already quite gratifying!

Writing this down, Ian listened quietly as the Dragon of Terra spoke its final authority.

[The final authority lies with you]

All communication is done mentally and lasts only a moment. Afterimage calmly said: [To be precise, it is the ‘Terra human collective subconscious’]

[Only with the recognition of the collective subconscious of Terran humans, perpetual motion machines will appear]

“Humanity’s collective subconscious?!”

Hearing this, Ian couldn't help but open his eyes wide. He said in disbelief: "All mankind approves? What does all mankind approve?"

[The collective recognition and permission of mankind, the start of the Youjing perpetual motion machine]

The afterimage of the dragon spoke calmly, but the truth he told was like a stormy sea: [At least, the permission of more than half of the human race will be required before the Nether Crystal Perpetual Machine will be activated in response to this trend of thought]

[Prophets of future generations, you simply cannot imagine the moral quality of human beings in that era, let alone the love and respect the Creator has for all things in the world and for all intelligent life - The Nether Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine is the ether that can transform everything in the world and even the universe itself. Array, activating it requires not only the permission of the power, but also the permission of the person to whom the power is exerted]

[As long as more than half of humanity harbors rejection in their hearts, the Nether Crystal Perpetual Machine will not be able to start]

Ian held back.

He resisted and asked, 'What would happen if I killed the half of humanity that didn't agree? ’ ‘Can brainwashed humans count? ''Your morals are very good. I admit that you are all the light of civilization with high moral standards. However, if I tamper with the definition of human beings, turn everyone into alien species, and declare that I am the only orthodox pure-blooded human being, and no one else is. Man, how should you deal with your Nether Crystal Perpetual Machine? ’ This is a slightly crazy question.

Ian asked very innocently: "If you don't know, does it count as abstaining?"

[You must inform all mankind of the existence of the Nether Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine]

The afterimage of the Dragon of Terra said calmly: [Prophet, I know you will think this request is too much...even an excessive request that interrupts your unique advantage as a prophet]

【However, this is the fact】

[If more than 95% of human beings did not know the existence of Nether Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine, then it would never be possible for it to appear in this world]

Hearing this, even Ian fell silent.

He fully understood, or rather, he fully agreed with the Star God's caution.

Yes, that's it, this is the Star God in his imagination.

Only when everyone knows and most people agree that they, who have infinite power and can transform the universe and space, will take action to help Terra and all other fire civilizations build the cradle.

If the Terrans do not agree, then they will take the Terrans' fire and go to another place that will agree to them to build a cradle.

However, the people of Terra would also agree - the afterglow of the prosperous age that the Huaiguang Church and the Huaiguang crowd still miss is proof of this.

We cherish the light and remember the brilliance of civilization, so we embrace the light in the darkness, looking forward to the new light appearing again in the afterglow of the end of the civilization of the previous era.

And some things, just like a perpetual motion machine, will only emerge in the light.

"Everyone in Terra must know the existence of perpetual motion machines..."

Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but feel like laughing: "Oh my god, doesn't this mean that I have to take the initiative to disclose the information about the perpetual motion machine to all the powerful people in Terra... and then let them fight with me?"

[If your era is still in an era of war and division]

The Dragon of Terra's tone contained a hint of sympathy: [Then this is the fact, you must defeat everyone]

[This is indeed an extremely difficult thing, and it cannot be completed in one generation... Prophet, maybe you can wait. Bury the secret and wait for the times to change and your power to unify the world before making the news public]

[By then, your plan may be completed in the hands of future generations. This is the meaning of civilization and inheritance]

"No."

And Ian shook his head: "I laughed, not because I thought it was ridiculous."

In the world of souls, the white-haired prophet raised his head and looked at the dragon. His smile was bright and sunny: "I was just smiling. This is really in line with my original goal."

"To unify the world, you always need a reason - I just want to see the stars. This goal can only convince me, but not others."

"Just like Huaiguang just wants to help the world and build a great era - 99% of the people in this world cannot understand our dream."

Having said this, Ian raised his head, and a cross star crown lit up on his head, and the 'Guiding Star' gemstone was dazzling: "So, it is better to put on a simple outer skin."

"Let everyone think that I just want to get a perpetual motion machine..."

"Then, become the King of Terra."
