"The embodiment of the will of the planet is actually a giant serpent...... It's okay, it's a little inferior to what I thought it was, but it didn't go beyond the aesthetic category of human beings. However, the strength of this snake has obviously not touched the threshold of the Immortal King...... It seems that I overestimated it, or that the Star Soul still has room to grow?"

Looking at the primordial planet that had calmed down and returned to its original appearance, Evan withdrew his spiritual radiation in disappointment and sighed with a little regret:

"It seems that even a star soul can't easily break through the bottleneck of soul immortality...... After all, it is an eternal and immortal god-level soul, how can this level be easily reached...... The specific growth potential of the Star Soul still needs long-term observation to get results. ”

In the process, his figure gradually became mottled and transparent, like a disappearing mirage, disappearing silently.

......

Hyperion Star, training room.

Ivan sat cross-legged on the floor in a white sackcloth with his hands pressed against his knees, his breathing was steady, and his chest rose and fell as if it could attract the void, making his figure seem to be covered in a layer of ripples of water, appearing large and small, sometimes fainting.

“......”

After a few minutes, he opened his eyes, and the unconsciously released power immediately converged, and the trembling void around him returned to its original state. Then he took out the jewel that looked like clotted blood from the spatial armband, and placed it in the palm of his right hand to examine it carefully.

Based on Xiaoxi's research and translation of the ruins over the years, Evan learned that this gem came from a prehistoric civilization called Asa, and that the Tree of Wisdom belonged to an important school of ancient Aesar civilization, and that this gem was the most precious treasure of the Tree of Wisdom school, and its real name was the Gem of Time and Space.

According to several ancient historical records translated from the library, the ancient Aesir civilization also belonged to the human branch of the Golden Age, and was the mortal enemy of the Terra civilization like the civilization of ancient Menes.

The technology of this ancient civilization was known as gem technology at the time, because they were good at creating all kinds of gems with magical powers, and used them in all aspects of warfare and material life.

Relying on magical gems, they inhabit the super subspace that only the Divine Source Machine can freely enter, where they observe and record the laws of the universe. The Aesirs named the super subspace they live in as the Eternal Realm, proudly and indifferently avoiding all disputes, looking down on the universe from the perspective of a bystander, and enjoying the Eden-like life.

But this arrogance also bred them to be lazy, and they missed the most important thought of the Golden Age, the Life Barrier Project.

The so-called Life Barrier Project is a plan that attempts to create higher-level life forms that are compatible with the advantages of carbon-based and silicon-based organisms.

It was this trend of thought that caused the combat power of the ancient Menes civilization and the ancient Terra civilization to expand rapidly, and gave birth to many transcendents who were called inheritance-level mechanics by later generations.

Due to a military outreach, the Aesir civilization was completely swept out of the Eternal Realm during a war with the Terra civilization.

The ancient Menes civilization took them in...... No, maybe it can't be considered a take-in, but it might be more appropriate to describe it as annexation or captivity. Because the Aesir civilization was treated like slaves on Hyperion, they even sacrificed two of the three major gems, soul gems and energy gems, in order to get shelter.

The space-time gem in Ivan's hand is the only remaining sacred stone of the Aesir civilization, which has the special ability to locate interstellar coordinates, teleport in long-range space, and help the holder develop time sensing.

In addition to this, it is the key to the eternal kingdom.

However, according to historical sources, the Eternal Kingdom has been annexed and merged with the Genesis of the Terra civilization, so the function of the Space-Time Stone as a key has been scrapped.

......

As for how the Aesir civilization finally came to an end, or even why the Tree of Wisdom was deserted, the historical data does not explain. Perhaps, when Xiaoxi finishes translating all the primeval books, he will be able to reveal this secret.

However, these are all in the past tense, and it is not important to Ivan that matters how to develop and utilize the Spacetime Stone.

He can still understand the ability to locate interstellar coordinates and teleport in remote space, what the hell is developing time sensing?

"The supreme jewel of the ancient Aesir civilization...... The technical content should not be lower than that of the Shenyuan machine...... It's a pity that there is no reliable manual. Ivan played with the gem in his hand, constantly trying to input various energies, but the third ability never appeared.

"Why hasn't it been reactive?"

"Could it be that the posture of the opening is wrong?"

"Since you don't know the technique, you can use the power of the universe to assimilate and erode, use the mirror world to read and infiltrate, and directly brute-force its secret!"

Considering the quality of the gem, Ivan decided to abandon the injection of light energy and instead use the means of the Immortal King to crack the last ability of the gem.

"Hiss——!"

With the habitual deep breath of concentration as he concentrated his strength, the void was contorting and shrinking in circles centered on Ivan's body, covering his body like flowing water.

In the next moment, he lost the texture of his flesh and blood—like a starlight twinkling in the sky, thousands of dense rays of light extending outward from his body. The whole person instantly became transparent, leaving only a humanoid silhouette with clear lines, and the source of thousands of rays of light was clearly visible—these thousands of singularities were like stars, forming a small rotating universe in Evan's body!

In the dimly lit training room, fragments of the void sputtered out with slender cracks crisscrossing the air, like ice particles in the wind, flying up and surrounding Evan.

Immediately afterward, the Spacetime Stone levitated under Ivan's control, merging into the cosmic projection within him.

In the next moment, the training room seemed to turn into a twisted wormhole, spinning and twisting, and flashing with a sinuous and dense thunder light. The electric light swept along the folds of the void, and in the deep and boundless void cracks, countless shadows of time and space faintly revealed.

The space-time gem is suspended in the core of the cosmic projection, and the radiation network of the internal frame structure seems to have been affected, and it is also expanding infinitely larger, slowly revealing a singularity universe containing trillions of star systems.

One by one, one by one

In the process, Evan only felt that countless points of light were shuttling in front of him, colorful and colorful.

But at this moment in his heart, there was not the slightest excitement.

The simultaneous use of the mirror world and the power of the universe made him in the process of reading the knowledge of gems, and his body was naturally mimicking the quantum motion of gems.

Silver dotted lines were formed in Evan's body, like a cosmic projection erupting billions of rays, forming a vast network;

In his field of vision, the training room was gone, there were no more cracks in the disintegrating void, no more energy, no more matter, including his whole person, only a chaotic void remained, countless silver threads intertwined with each other, as if they constituted the whole of this world.

......

I don't know how long it took, but countless dotted lines overlapped softly, like an axis through the center of the cosmic projection.

It was as if a bright and dazzling narrow light had been cut through the dark universe, and the universe began to speed up - the singularity universe inside the space-time gem was even more ever-changing, repeating infinite combinations at almost infinite speeds. It seems that complex and sophisticated calculations are being made, and data is constantly being fed back to the outside world, causing the small universe in Evan's body to change accordingly.

“......”

At this time, the world was no longer a void in Evan's vision, and the space was rippling with circles of silver ripples, and when he concentrated his consciousness, he could spin wildly, almost turning into the hands of a clock that turned into Hot Wheels.

Then, as if he had traveled to another war-torn world, countless dragon-style buildings collapsed and shattered in the cannon fire, and then heard a low dragon roar in his ears, Evan raised his head when he heard the sound, only to see the void in the sky distorted - a rectangular space door was opened, the edge of the door flashed with dense electric light, and the huge mechanical arm immediately shot out through the exit.

The mechanical fist blasted forward with a strange sound wave, colliding with a crimson dragon's breath, erupting with a devastating light.

The sea of clouds was brightly dyed and shimmered with golden light, as if it were a burning sea of fire.

Immediately afterward, the picture becomes blurry, as if it has become a flashing fragment, so that Ivan can't see it at all, only the basic outline.

In the final scene, a giant dragon growls in the flames, stretches its neck, and then falls weakly to the earth.

......

Then the picture changed again, and the light suddenly dimmed.

Ivan looked around closely, and saw that it was a vague, illegible cave. The cave is infested with hideous poisonous insects that look like worms with hard shells and make sounds that resemble the screams of babies.

In the depths of the cave, it seems that a battle is taking place.

A group of four swordsmen and one woman are teaming up to deal with a blue-gray monster with a female silhouette.

As Evan was about to try to see their true colors, the blue-gray monster with a female silhouette suddenly raised its head and looked at him in surprise, and at that moment, Evan also saw a pair of familiar eyes—the eyes of the Apostle Shylock.

......

Before he could react, the picture in front of him jumped again.

It was an ocean suspended in the sky, and the entire sparkling surface of the sea reflected the red of the golden light at dawn, like a sea of fire burning on all sides.

Floating thousands of kilometers long on the surface of the sea, it seems to be a giant whale, it floats gently in the air, and on its back are countless towering trees, ancient forests, and towering ancient ruins in the dense forests.

And at the highest point of the ruins, a huge octopus was crushed in a pile of collapsed stones, dying.

......

Then he saw a cloudy and gloomy canopy, with dark clouds suspended lifelessly in the air, faintly greenish in color, as if containing some kind of toxin, intermittently low with viscous acid—clouds that shrouded the entire planet.

The first time Ivan saw this world, he felt endless depression, as if this was a dead world. The dark and dreary surface is completely dead and silent, and the deserted village is empty, and it is obvious that it is a world shrouded in despair, slowly moving into death,

He tried to enter the village, only to find that it was full of melted humans, melted to the point of slime, but miraculously not dead. They walk like a corpse on mountain roads, letting out hollow and oppressive wails and spreading despair to the world.

Then, the picture becomes choppy again.

Ivan barely managed to see the last scene—the monster that was blackening itself, with its mouth protruding long, and walking on all fours, laughing, and the creature's body crumbling and being sucked into another dimension......
