Chapter 969 Life Energy and Fighting Qi (7200, please vote for me~)

The great city of Atlan.

Breeding grounds, internal shelter.

Inside the armor driven by Andor, another small crystal dragon awakened.

"boss?"

Somewhat anxious, Andor, who was calming down and reciting prime numbers silently to calm down, breathed a sigh of relief: "You're back? Did you run out?"

He didn't know what Ian's incarnation of the Glazed Dragon actually did, and thought that the other party just wanted to grab a wave and run away - typical pirate thinking, but he was right.

Ian indeed grabbed a wave and ran away, but he also crushed a few intruders from the far shore islands to death along the way.

"Going out." Naturally, Ian couldn't explain the specific process. When his mind returned to the body of this little crystal dragon, he nodded slightly and said calmly: "Are you in the shelter now?"

"Yes." Andor controlled the armored camera and looked around the underground shelter where many people were already sitting: "I have prepared an alibi. But boss, there seemed to be a lot of movement outside just now, a very terrifying threat. Press appeared, feeling stronger than the Donghou who was stationed before..."

At this point, Andor lowered his voice: "Is it possible that there is a fifth..."

"You can put it this way. Not a fifth-level powerhouse, but a true dragon."

Ian frowned slightly. He knew very well that the appearance of the Dragon of Terra would cause all the countries in the west of Terra to focus on the giant city of Atlan, and the secret of the remains of the Dragon of Terra would not be hidden.

But the good thing is that he has obtained a lot of precious information about the Dragon of Terra in advance. Even if people from the empire or other countries come over in the future and want to continue to awaken the remains of the dragon, as long as they don't know about the perpetual motion machine , and it is impossible to ask for corresponding information from there.

After all, the residual image of the dragon remains is the real residual image. If you don’t ask, you won’t answer.

However, thinking about this, Ian still had doubts in his heart.

——Far Shore Island This time, they did get some ‘authority’ or ‘power’ from the Dragon of Terra.

What exactly is this permission used for?

According to speculation, Ian believed that the other party came for the 'New World'. The New World is a new volcanic rock continent. There is not much soil on it. It is extremely barren. Except for an ecological circle along the coast, the central area is not even worth immigrants.

Perhaps Far Coast Island wants to use this authority to make the land richer?

It sounds outrageous, but not impossible.

Ian still remembers that there is a ‘fourth level ladder’ above Terra.

The last three levels of the ladder are a beautiful vision and the goal that guided the humans of Terra in the previous era, but the first four levels of the ladder are actually tangible.

——The first level of the ladder to heaven is called the movement of all things. The human body, the clouds in the sky, the soil on the earth, the running of water, the stirring of wind, and the burning of fire are the foundation of phenomena.

It sounds complicated, but it’s actually an ecological cycle.

The first level of the ladder is the [Terra Ecological Control Device], whose powers include river basins, ocean currents, underground lava flows and even the movement of crustal plates.

Although it has not been confirmed, Ian believes that the Terra continent where everyone lives today is likely to be the fragments of many continents that sank in the past, a broken continent condensed by the beast of a thousand stars and the Terra ecological control device.

It is precisely because of this that there is only one continent on the entire planet, Terra, but there are various fragments that are obviously derived from the ecology of other different regions.

For example, Canaan Moor obviously has a tropical rainforest climate, but the Cangtian Palace not far above is a temperate grassland, while the Jiuhan Jingshan Mountain at the same latitude in the east is an arid desert... The boundaries are too obvious, and it is difficult to integrate the ecology. .

The Terran civilization in its heyday would definitely be able to turn every corner of the earth into a perfect paradise. It even had some kind of fire-like ecological seeds that could cooperate with the control of celestial phenomena to turn deserts and wastelands into grasslands and swamps at will. Even the lush jungle.

And Ian also remembered that the 'geology' on the far shore island was not particularly good.

To be precise, if there is no fifth-level powerhouse to suppress it, a geological disaster more terrifying than the Yellowstone volcano may erupt at any time.

If it is really a dark rock incident, the Sea of ​​Tranquility may be blocked by the spewing mantle lava, turning it into Terra's largest inland sea, and the entire West Terra will turn into a sea of ​​hellfire.

Of course, if there is a fifth-level strong person blocking it, there is a high probability that these will not be discovered. Even if there is a dark rock blocking the inner sea of ​​the Serenity Sea, there will be a strong person who will forcefully blast away the blocked sea area.

However, at that time, we really didn’t know how many people would die... On the other hand, we can also understand why the people of the Far Shore Island tried their best to move to the New World.

The second level of the ladder is the celestial phenomenon controller with the Imperial City as the core node, while the third level of the ladder is the atmosphere controller, and also has the use of the Ring Terra solar energy conversion layer.

As for the fourth level of the ladder, it is the planet's magnetic field control device supervised by Yanjiang, Yuanjian Port and other countries. It is probably responsible for the earth's core magnetic field.

What Far Sword Port got from the Dragon of Terra should be the permissions related to the ladder. This permission was definitely not given casually. It should be that Far Sword Port had already obtained the relevant control facilities, but it just didn’t have the permissions, so it couldn’t be used. Come.

"In addition, the remains of the Skyfall spaceship should also be in the New World, and there is a lot of accumulated energy... If the energy of the Skyladder and the Skyfall interact with each other, perhaps it can really transform the New World from a barren wasteland to one full of life. paradise.”

At this moment, Ian finally understood Far Coast Island's decision.

As long as they can turn the New World into their own backyard, then they don't care about the disputes in Terra. If the Empire hadn't mastered the remains of the Dragon of Terra, I'm afraid they wouldn't be willing to join forces with Fei Yan. Involved in a world war.

Of course, this can be considered a two-pronged preparation. If the plan in the New World does not go well, the Far Coast Island can also get a piece of mainland territory from the Flying Flame Land, which is the area of ​​the former Outer Flying Fire Land and Modar Spire Port.

Therefore, Far Coast Island has never cooperated with Feiyan Land to invade the empire. At most, it has harassed the fleet of the Seven Cities Alliance and raided the giant city of Atlan while the forces of various countries were recovering.

"Well."

At this moment, Andor couldn't help but break into a cold sweat as he listened to Ian's soliloquy: "Boss, are these topics really something I can listen to?"

"If you want to work for me in the future, you need to know all these things."

The young crystal dragon sensed the body of the current 'blank slate', compared it with his other body on the other side of the sea, and nodded thoughtfully.

The Crystal Dragon is indeed a biological warship of the civilization of the previous era. It has transformed from a blank to a powerful existence close to the third energy level in a short period of time, and its skeleton can still withstand it.

If Ian is willing, he can continue to transform this second body into a glass dragon body with extremely powerful combat power.

However, it is not necessary. It is better to leave this second body to Qingtong himself to transform. He can inform the other party of his own ideas and cultivation methods.

As for Andor's fear, he said calmly: "Rejoice, you have entered the greatest organization in the world - fortunately you did not become my enemy, but became my subordinate."

"I know."

In this regard, Andor said from the bottom of his heart: "I have always believed this."

It was at this time.

He originally planned to ask Andor to meet with the people from the Silver Peak Territory later, and when he brought the small crystal dragon back to the Silver Peak Territory, his expression suddenly changed slightly.

The precognitive vision and the 'precognitive interface' given by Huaiguang Church operated simultaneously, allowing many phantom fragments to pass before his eyes.

That's a possibility for another timeline.

It was a big city covered in rain, a maritime city besieged by a fleet. The giant city of Atlan was tightly blocked by the coalition forces of the two countries. The artillery fire covering the sky and various sublimation techniques fell towards the city like raindrops.

In the chaos of huge waves, an armored vehicle with two small crystal dragons broke through the chaotic cluster of monsters, avoiding the two armies that had broken into the city and were wreaking havoc. The former pirate captain Andor was trying to break out.

He should have run away. He should have escaped alone.

If it were a person, no one would pay attention to him. In the final analysis, the purpose of the two armies is not to plunder and loot, but to have a deeper purpose... He can leave.

However, with two crystal dragons that are already four to five meters long, even people who have no idea at first can't help but focus on him.

For a time, many artillery fire and restraint bombs were fired at him - that is, in order not to accidentally injure the crystal dragon, otherwise Andor would have been hit and killed.

Reason told Andor that he should have abandoned the two little crystal dragons long ago and left alone... But after raising them for so many years, he couldn't bear to let them go for a while.

He is just a boring and meaningless pirate captain, but these two smart little crystal dragons have almost become his children... When they return to the South China Sea in the future, under Ian's command, they will definitely create their own legends .

More valuable and meaningful than myself...

【Hold on】

At this moment, a more mature Ian's voice sounded, extremely calm: [Support is coming soon, hide and don't fight]

"boss?"

Andor was slightly startled, but he laughed: "I can't hide anymore, there are too many people, I can't get away... But since you are here, the two little guys will definitely survive."

Buzz.

The armor that was escaping with the little crystal dragon suddenly stopped moving. He raised his hand and motioned to the two little crystal dragons who were equally confused and stopped swimming forward to continue running. Then he turned around and faced the pursuers: "That way If so, that’s enough.”

"I was lucky enough to save my life from you, boss. I have survived for so many years and learned so many secrets that ordinary people will never come into contact with in their lifetime - my life has been worth it."

【Don’t do stupid things! ] And the more mature Ian said sternly: [Come back! keep on! 】

【Damn! 】

Andor did not follow Ian's instructions.

Because he knew that even if he survived, the price would be that one of the two crystal dragons would be severely injured or even captured by the enemy.

Because not everyone wants to survive.

Some people have long felt that they have lived enough, so when they get the chance to die in peace, they never look back.

Amidst the explosion, the armor charged in the direction of the enemy.

…

"The Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea", "The Ecology of Warcraft", "Crystal Dragon Sketches Collection", "The Giant City of Atlan"...

Books of drafts and drawings were collected and placed in front of one person.

"I really didn't realize he was so talented."

Ian from another timeline said slowly, his tone a little complicated: "It just made him read more books and teach himself some skills... Perhaps, we have lost a future art master."

"I still remember that he wanted to assassinate me, but gave up in the end... He is indeed not suitable to be a pirate. There are too many people in this world who do not do what they are born to do, but instead become robbers, pirates and even beggars. .”

The other one was more calm, and it should be Isengard's voice: "What exactly are Far Shore Island and Flying Flame Land going to do?"

"According to the locals, a huge real dragon appeared in the sky above Atlan, and that real dragon... made me feel a little shocked. It was a familiar, very familiar, and very close feeling."

"have no idea."

Ian's voice was solemn: "It seems that there is a big secret in the giant city of Atlan. Damn it, Andor actually discovered something. Look, in his record of 'The Giant City of Atlan', it was written that he took care of the crystal dragon." At that time, I once vaguely saw a huge dragon skeleton on the other side of the 'forbidden zone'. This dragon skeleton was integrated with the dragon claws raised on the sea. There was a huge real dragon skeleton located at the bottom of the city, with a huge secret."

"It would have been better if we had discovered it a long time ago. In that case, Andor wouldn't have to die."

well.

A sigh. The little crystal dragon shook his head. Ian woke up from the hazy illusion and looked around with some uncertainty.

At the moment, everything is fine.

Andor did not die, and the two crystallized dragon bodies were not lost. Ian knew the secret of the Dragon of Terra from the beginning. Although it did not prevent the Far Shore Island from getting the permission they wanted, Ian also got the permanent Motive-related clues.

Not only that, the giant city of Atlan did not fall, and Andor had even more manuscripts. He even had enough energy to write Ian's adventure story.

all of these……

"Is it the memory of the past 'me'?"

Ian thought to himself: "And it should be the earlier me. The territory is not Silver Peak Territory, but Harrison Port in the South China Sea."

"The crystal dragon doesn't seem to be an aggregation like Qingtong, but a real cub. It has grown so big that it can't be hidden in the cockpit like I am now. And listening to the sound, the time should be at least It’s 778, 9 years, a few years in the future.”

"Furthermore, I don't know the secret of the Dragon of Terra - it seems that my exploration of the Dragon of Terra originated from Andor's drawings."

For a moment, even Ian felt a little sad.

Andor noticed that Ian was suddenly stunned for a moment, and he tentatively asked: "Boss?"

"You'd better finish those manuscripts of yours, great artist. I really want to read them."

Ian answered, shaking his head.

Andor is a typical natural artist. Not only is he very good at writing, but even the "Crystal Dragon Sketch Collection" is vivid. He understands various perspective and painting techniques without the need for anyone to teach him. It can be called a work of art.

However, he has been a fisherman since he was a child, without any avenue for advancement, and he has never even had the opportunity to touch a paintbrush - but when he grew up, he became a pirate again.

In this world, perhaps no one is an 'ordinary person'... As long as they are in the right position, everyone will become a 'successful person' that others admire.

"That's why I created the Heart of Terra - only the Heart of Terra collects data from an early age and analyzes each person's preferences and strengths from an early age, so that follow-up education can be arranged for each person."

Of course, Ian knew it too.

If we really train according to each person's talent and ignore personal opinions, it is essentially treating everyone as a commodity and slave labor to 'raise', rather than educate.

Human beings have the right to make wrong choices. Human beings have the right to do things that they are not good at and are not gifted in.

This is the essence of hobbies and ‘love’.

However, choice is choice, and as a lord, Ian should be prepared - after all, more people are willing to do things they are good at and can succeed.

Moreover, this hallucination represents that Ian's prophetic ability has improved again.

Ian patted the little crystal dragon on the head with his tail to relieve the dizziness.

No wonder Huaiguang reminded him that the precognitive interface could easily lead to indistinguishability between reality and the future, causing hallucinations and then madness.

This is the reason why prophets are crazy. There are so many things they can see, and they are all real. Occasionally they appear suddenly. If you are immersed too deeply, you may not be able to figure out which is real and which is prediction. , confusing the future and the present.

But Ian doesn't have this problem, because he has seen too many, so he is very sure which one is real.

After confirming Andor's safety, Ian gave the other party a few words and then withdrew his energy.

holy mountain.

Ian, who was meditating in his room, opened his eyes.

"Perpetual motion machine." He whispered to himself: "Finally got your clue."

If you want the perpetual motion machine to appear and start, you need to gather four permissions.

Star God. Dragon of Terra. The ancestral dragon. Intelligent life votes.

Among them, Ian estimates that he may already have half of the authority of the Star God - the gift of the Star God is the reserve Star God. At the very least, he must be a Star God minor, so he has an advantage in this regard.

Among the remains of the sky-falling spaceship, there is a high probability that there are related equipment used by the Star God to control the perpetual motion machine. There are also many Star God technologies that can be picked up in the remains of the sky-falling spaceship in the New World. This is what Ian wants to explore in the New World. one of the reasons.

The authority of the Dragon of Terra is in his fire, and has been brought into the imperial capital by Inaga II. Now it is likely to be in the hands of Axel.

Many of Axel's strange actions, whether it is the floating city or the Internet, or the many studies of the Academy of Gnosis and the Academy of Truth, are most likely centered on the fire of the Dragon of Terra. Moreover, considering that the 'Imperial Capital' is The core node of the 'Second Ladder' is a key facility of the astronomical controller. If Axel really wants to make a big move, it may not affect the entire continent, but the entire planet Terra.

——Can this group of sun birds learn from Yisen and save people some worries?

Thinking of this, Ian felt a headache.

He has the dragon fire of Terra in his hand, the core nodes and authority of the second ladder, the sun bird that can fly all over the planet, and the remains of the tree of life of the ladder under his butt... No wonder the Central Empire is the Central Empire, this background is really too strong.

There is a chance that one of the ancestral dragon's permissions is in Mikael's hands. For other words, you can ask the four dragon kings. At the very least, the victor of the Broken Star War, the First Pivotal Dragon Ertolimu, must have left his authority on Dragon Island.

Let's wait until the dragon kings have wiped out the demons before asking.

As for the final fourth authority of intelligent life...

Ian smiled instead.

This permission is the most interesting.

Humans, fairies, intelligent monsters... and even the remnants of ancient fire species sleeping in the Gate of Silver Sky, these intelligent beings received half of the votes.

Because the perpetual motion machine has intelligence, Ian and others cannot cheat - if they want to obtain permission through violent means, the perpetual motion machine will probably use violent means to deal with the remaining vested interests.

After all, even the Dragon of Terra doesn't know what the perpetual motion machine will do after entering the 'emergency investigation' state.

Ian didn't dare to bet - he had done this timeline perfectly enough. Even if he had to do it again, Ian couldn't guarantee that he would do it as perfectly as he did now.

Moreover, Ian is quite good at canvassing.

If ordinary people in other countries may not be able to unite and vote, then in his territory, with the coordination of the Heart of Terra, in the future, they can even directly network spiritually, share common thoughts, and connect the 'new humans' with each other... There is no doubt that Has great advantages.

At least, it would be better than everyone wrestling with each other, the powerful players showing their cards, and beating the entire Terra to a pulp.

Not to mention, if there is an opportunity to conquer other countries in the future... Ian believes that with his unique morality in Terra, which is probably second only to Adebert's, he can definitely easily get a lot from the people of the defeated countries. ticket!

At this point, it’s time to tell that old Cybertronian joke.

——You, how do you want to enslave us? !

[Jie Jie Jie, feel the horror, humans, you will have to work a full eight hours a day from now on. You will only be provided with three meals and snacks a day. You will only get milk in the morning and only have a one-hour lunch break! 】

[Jie, Jie, Jie, you will die of exhaustion! 】

——Is Yinfeng leading the army? The former lord's mansion is right here, I'll lead the way!

There is a high probability that this is what will happen to Terra in the future.

"Ethan, do you have any connections with the Seven Cities Alliance?"

Putting his thoughts back, Ian was confident that it would take half a generation and one generation to conquer the hearts and minds of the people in the conquered areas, but that would have to be after the conquest.

He walked out of the room and knocked on Ethan's door next door: "I have something to contact over there."

"Yes." The blond young man opened the door, and he was a little confused: "Is it urgent? I have business contacts with the family of the City Lord of Yuehua City in the Seven Cities Alliance... But I have basically left the empire now, and I am not sure whether the other party will Contact me.”

"Are you kidding?" Ian shook his head: "You can be with me now. I guess as long as you contact me, the Lord of Yuehua City will have to come directly to pick you up - that's fine. I need you to tell them. , just tell them that someone within the Seven Cities Alliance colluded with Far Shore Island to sneak attack on the giant city of Atlan."

"At the same time, Ethan, you contact your mother and tell her about the Dragon of Terra."

Ian informed Ethan about the awakening of the Terra dragon and the fact that Far Shore Island may have obtained the 'first ladder authority' that can revive the New World. The blond young man frowned slightly and nodded seriously, saying these things The message was written down: “I understand.”

"You want the Seven Cities Alliance and the Empire to take revenge on the Far Coast Island, so that they can't launch operations in the New World so quickly and facilitate your operations? Haha, Ian, you don't want to stop him midway, right? "

Isengard thought for a moment and understood Ian's thoughts, and the prophet smiled and nodded: "You understand me, it's a bit difficult to cut off the beard, and I'm not prepared for reviving the New World, so I'd better let them on Far Coast Island do it themselves. , I’ll just see if I can make use of it.”

"In short, let the empire and the Seven Cities Alliance know as much as possible that Far Coast Island's actions are of great significance, and we cannot let the other side take advantage so easily."

"Wait for my news." Isengard immediately took action, preparing to contact his contacts, but Ian also did not stop.

His soul transformed again and returned to Xiahui City and Silver Peak Leader.

In the eyes of outsiders, Ian has always been in Silver Peak and has never left. He even held a celebration day recently and gave a speech, which was cheered by hundreds of thousands of people.

Only Scott and Adbot knew that most of their lord's energy was far away, stirring up trouble in the Capital of Knowledge, and transmitting back a lot of relevant research information.

"Are you back?"

As soon as he came back, Adlbert, who was about to report the news to Ian, told Ian some good news.

The researcher with white hair and red eyes opened the study door, looked at Ian with lively eyes in surprise, then walked forward quickly with a smile and handed him a paper report: "Even if you don't come back, I will I want to ask you to come back - look, there is a breakthrough in research!"

"This is the result of Qingchao's discovery in the training camp... He discovered that if he continues to practice the high-efficiency life spiritual energy refining method and continues to compress the life spiritual energy after having condensed the heart of the source material furnace, he can The high-purity life spiritual energy slowly merges with the source matter in the body to form an extremely powerful force, but it is different from ordinary source matter and spiritual energy!"

"The fusion of spiritual energy and source matter? Isn't it just ether?"

Ian read the report in his hand carefully and couldn't help but open his eyes wide: "Is this... can this be done?"

"It's not pure ether, it's not that strong." Adlbert explained: "This actually has something to do with you. Some time ago, didn't you give us the training methods and basic cultivation methods from Yanjiang? There are studies on food awakening, pharmaceutical awakening, and those methods of artificially awakening spiritual energy all seem to make sense."

"I took a look and felt that it was complementary to our training methods, so I asked Qingchao to test it. Unexpectedly, it actually produced results."

As he said this, Adebert looked very happy: "I suspect this is some kind of low-level manifestation mode of ether. Qingchao calls it the sword energy of life. I don't think it has anything to do with the sword energy at all. It might as well be called fighting energy. But no matter what it is called, there is no doubt that it is some kind of great discovery, so I came to find you!"

"Ian, can we approve the funding now?" At this point, the white-haired researcher couldn't help but look forward to it.

"Batch!"

Putting down the report in his hand, Ian stood up. He was keenly aware that this might be an opportunity for the 'arcane path' to fundamentally allow humans to evolve into creatures adapted to the ether.

He spoke concisely and to the point: "I will approve as much as you want! Is this Thaler's problem?"

"But now, hurry up and lead the way. I'm going to see who is the genius who made this thing!"

Asking for a monthly ticket~

Jiejie, wait for a while, and then use the Heart of Terra to sort out all the arcane magic. Now it will completely fit the name of fantasy division!
