When Tang Shidao saw the 'city' for the first time, he immediately felt a bad feeling in his heart. It's not because of security, it's not because of power, it's because the pattern is too abnormal. There is no city on the Origin Iron Planet occupied by the mage, and there is one here, which proves that it ...... On the other side of the source, there has always been a force that no one knows about.

Or or.

Everyone vaguely knew, but no one said anything.

As the 'dust mirror' of crystal chips drifted, Tang Shidao saw something more. Such a city is not one, but a small sphere inside the planet, with thousands of them. It's not so much a planet as it is a spherical starship.

The interior of the city is roughly similar to a lair.

There are cobweb-like passages.

There are hive-like strongholds.

There are snakes and ladybugs-style vehicles.

I vaguely feel that this place is similar to the school palace planet on the other side of the source, and it is like the model of the human-faced superstar in the Supreme Demon Realm.

Population.

Industry.

Technology.

It feels the same.

Due to the wrong position of the dust mirror, Tang Shidao couldn't see too much. In particular, in some places like 'industrial zones', the air flow is too strong, and it is easy to blow away the dust mirror, and it is impossible to approach at all. Most of the dust mirrors do not fall on the ground, but on plants that emit a faint fragrance. They have some kind of respiratory system that can suck in dust from the air.

Not surprisingly, they're magic plants that clean the air.

Originally.

They were just the lowest ordinary magic plants, but they had inadvertently destroyed Tang Shidao's 'speculum' plan.

In this observation.

Very unexpected.

Tang Shidao discovered something that shouldn't exist: the source beast of the war faction!

They are not arrested.

They are free-walking.

Outside the star, the mage Haoqiang and the source iron beast fought to the death. Within the stars, the war faction is safe and sound in the inner activities...... Is this diplomacy? Or the betrayer of the Source Beast? Or maybe the War Faction has been in contact with the Source Iron Beast?

Seeing this picture, Tang Shidao felt uncomfortable for a while.

Although said.

Large-character Optimus has a magic spell and cannot die. However, this is always a war, not a game. If the war between the Source Iron Beast and the Source Crystal Beast was only a game, why would the major races of the Void dedicate their strength and resources. If it's not a game, what about the source beast's activities in the star? Originally, the war faction and the exploration faction were two extremes, because the war was temporarily united.

Now, how to explain it?

At this time.

On the position of the Source Iron Planet, Tang Shidao also returned from the role of 'bystander', but his mood was very complicated.

Be sure.

Things inside the Origin Iron Planet are not simple, but no matter what, the war faction must be inseparable. Even, the Explorators may be in the know. The situation on the other side of the source is far more complicated than imagined.

"Mr. Long, excuse me."

Tang Shidao lifted the meditative state, and Cangzhu and others naturally came to visit.

Meanwhile.

A group of old men who were complete strangers also followed, as if they were assessors.

"Mr. Cangzhu, you are very polite. Tell me straight, what's the matter? Tang Shidao said lightly.

Cangzhu was slightly stunned.

Because, Mr. Long's attitude seems to be a little different. In the past, he was obviously peaceful, but now he has a faint feeling of rejection.

"Did any of us do anything rude, Mr. Dragon?" Cangzhu decided to ask the reason first.

"It's not."

"So, why did Mr. Long suddenly have an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away?" Cangzhu is very straightforward and does not beat around the bush.

"I discovered something while researching the Source Iron Beast."

"Hmm."

"I think you know, but you didn't tell me. Or rather, you didn't tell anyone else. ”

"Oh......" Cangzhu was suffocated for a while.

"Maybe you need to keep it a secret, maybe it's not appropriate to make it public. However, since everyone can't trust each other, the conversation is redundant. I'm an academic, and I only study what I want to study. Mr. Cangzhu, do you have anything to say? If not, then we're afraid we don't have much to talk about. Tang Shidao looked at the expressions of everyone, believing that these people knew something that outsiders did not know.

"This ......" Cangzhu should not come up.

There are too many secrets on the other side of the source.

Even he himself didn't know all the secrets.

Suddenly.

One of the old men who followed him spoke: "Mr. Long, the other side of the source is not as simple as you think. There are so many things that we can't stop either. ”

"Well, what does this have to do with me?"

"We're here for a favor. With the help of your special abilities, help us research the method of 'lethalizing' the Source Iron Beast. You know, the Source Iron Beasts are almost unkillable on the Source Iron Planet, and they must be isolated by other means. Unexpectedly, you killed the Source Iron Beast on the ground of the Source Iron Planet. If we can master this method, even if there is one more person, we will have one more strength. ”

"It's straightforward."

"Of course, we don't want to waste time, and we don't want to waste yours."

"Before answering you, let me ask you a question: Will the war be over if you kill the Light Source Iron Beast?" Tang Shidao said lightly.

"No, there's still ...... here"

"If we kill the Light Crystal Beast again, will the war be over?" Tang Shidao interrupted and asked again.

"......," the old man listened and fell silent.

He couldn't answer.

Because.

"You know, it's not going to end, is it?" Tang Shidao said calmly, and said: "I suddenly understand a little bit why the names of Ao Ling, Chan Jiu, and Da Kuihuang did not appear on the battlefield. Because they also know that helping you to victory is not the end, is it? ”

The crowd was speechless.

The old man just wanted to speak, but Cangzhu stretched out his hand again and shook his head.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in the battle for power and resources. If the Source Iron Beast harms the Void, I think I'll join the ranks of defending the Void. However, I will not help anyone fight for territory on the other side of the source. I know that there are some things that you are inconvenient to explain and disclose. However, since you are keeping your secrets, please take your responsibilities. I have no obligation to help you. Tang Shidao frankly refused.

Cangzhu smiled slightly wryly.

In the end, everyone had to quit the camp.

Tang Shidao is still researching the Source Iron Beast, and he is also preparing to leave in the short term.

Half a day later.

Cangzhu came alone.

"Something?"

"Yes, Mr. Long. The elder asked me to bring some words. Cangzhu paused, and then said: "An elder said: Some people are destined to be lonely travelers, not bound by any power. It doesn't matter if you cooperate or not, I just hope that Mr. Long can remember that the void is our home, and that's enough. ”

"Anything else?"

"Well, a few more words. The elder also said that the Great Curse Emperor had fought a fierce battle with the War Faction, and he had used the power of a 'black world'. On that occasion, he showed something special that Mr. Long was interested in checking out. ”

"I've seen it, let's just say it."

"The meaning of the elder, the literal meaning of the other side of the source, the word 'other side' is more important. Here we know two levels, the first, the ordinary level of ourselves. The second, we separate all the capacities, the planes of power. The Great Curse Emperor once demonstrated the third level, and he divided his power into two levels. ”

"You mean, there's a third dimension here?"

"Imagine for yourself, Mr. Long. We had some kind of pact that we couldn't tell you anything. However, you can find the truth yourself, and we will not stand in the way. Perhaps, the warfarers may be able to stop you. You're certainly not going to back down, though. Elder I've asked me to tell you: If you like, feel free to follow the truth you want to know. If anyone stops you, kill if you can. Even if an elder stops you by himself, it's the same, you're welcome, you can kill it. ”

"It sounds like there's no rule here." Tang Shidao somewhat understood.

"This is war, Mr. Dragon."

Tang Shidao listened, and faintly understood something in his heart. In the Supreme Demon Realm, the Craftsman Guild of the Human-Faced Superstar is also a 'permission' query. People who don't have enough authority can't know too many secrets. The Human-Faced Superstar belongs to the 'Convention' to deal with all things, without private will. Here, the explorators and warfighters are likely to come to some kind of agreement with the 'third party'.

It is not clear what the agreement is, but the content of this agreement cannot be made public.

Otherwise, there is another, more terrible consequence.

It's been cold for a long time.

Tang Shidao said slowly: "The Source Iron Beast is more like a man-made thing. ”

"Oh." Cangzhu didn't look too surprised, it seemed that he really didn't know but was not surprised by this result.

"They have life and they have themselves. However, they are still made like some kind of force. My only spell, 'Crystal Life', cannot create true life, but can occupy and assimilate life. The races that have crystal life in the Crystal Illusion are born at random, because of some special law of nature. Mine is a spell, not a force of nature. Hypothetically, the Demon Idol Iron Block, the Crystal Life is like an artificial brain, and the Source Iron Beast is like a real life. ”

"Like?" Cangzhu noticed an important point.

"yes, like, not sure 'yes'. So, they still have a weakness. As you can imagine, the Source Iron Beast is like a better artificial intelligence brain, and its fear is not destruction, but invasion and severance. In other words, I didn't kill the Source Iron Beasts with my strength, but invaded and severed their connection to something, so they couldn't be resurrected. ”

"Thank you." Cangzhu understood.

There is no cooperation between the parties.

However, Mr. Long has already explained the most effective method.

"Please come back, I'm leaving in a few days." Tang Shidao also signaled after speaking, and didn't want to talk about it anymore.

"Well, thanks again. Mr. Long, please beware of the war faction. I don't want to speak ill of them, I just want to say that even if we cooperate to this extent on the battlefield, we still can't be friends and still fight each other. Also, there are some people in the Explorers who have to be careful. If we stay on the battlefield, we don't want to have too many thoughts, we just fight. ”

"I want to ask, is the Void your home?" Tang Shidao asked one last question.

"Yes."

"Well, that'll do." Tang Shidao waved his hand, and Cangzhu also left.

Let's talk about it this way.

Things were a little clearer, but there was still a fog over them.

As you can imagine.

The battlefield on the other side of the source is very complex, and there are many factions. Some hold on, some seek cooperation, and even some betray, collaborate, and defect to the enemy. Cangzhu doesn't want to get involved in political things, he only acts as a warrior, stays on the battlefield, and stops everything that attacks the void.

However, Cangzhu is not representative of the entire Exploratory.

Or even say.

An elder can only represent a small group of people, not the entire group. If there is a third party, they only enter into some kind of agreement, but they are not cooperation, they are not enemies, they are only in a delicate balance. The war between the two countries is life and death. In the War of the Three Kingdoms, the first to fight was lost. Four countries, five countries, and six countries, that is, the most important thing is to join the vertical and horizontal.

The war-going and exploratory factions are enemies, and when you add a third party, things are completely different.

"Let's go check it out...... That kind of city. Tang Shidao didn't want to think too much.

Some things should be seen with your own eyes.
