"Xenomorph Research Institute, it should be the Warcraft Research Institute or the Biology Research Institute of the pre-era civilization."

Ian was silent at the moment, he was calm on the surface, but in fact he had set off a storm in his heart.

The head of the Xenomorph Research Institute, the 'Forerunner', is the Forerunner's laboratory!

Known as the earliest owner of the silver chip, the laboratory of the Forerunners!

As a matter of fact, Ian didn't know anything about the Precursors, he only knew that the other party was the director of a scientific research institution at the end of the pre-era civilization or the Lost Era, and his/her authority was a dimensionality reduction blow to a local institution of secondary derivatives such as the Redwood Base.

With the other party's authority, Ian easily took over the entire South China Sea Labyrinth, and even allowed the base to blow itself up (referring to the suspension of the operation of the base's core furnace).

Other than that, we don't know what the Xenomorph Research Institute is researching, or why the Forerunner is called a Forerunner.

Anfa is responding to Ian's words at this moment: [It should be. The term 'xenomorph' in pre-epoch civilizations refers to all non-human creatures, such as demonic beasts and xenomorphs, as well as various artificial creatures...... In fact, there are quite a few similar labs in Terra, such as the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea around Port Harrison, your hometown, is likely to be one.

[However, the scale of the ruins under Half Moon Lake is unprecedented, and we believe that this may be a central research institute of pre-era civilization...... Danger and opportunity, Ian, it's normal if you don't want to go, after all, your territory is just on the right track]

"Go, of course."

Ian interrupted Anfa and said with a smile, "If I miss this kind of big thing, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life." ”

Ha, I have permission, isn't going to this institute the same as going home?

When Ian heard this name, he had already made up his mind to go, he was now the dean himself, and he would definitely get benefits from going to his own research institute...... It's just that Ian didn't let up.

"In that hellish place, there is a golden dragon hidden underground!"

Ian hadn't forgotten that at the beginning of the Spiritual Calamity Path, the dark gold dragon that wanted to fly away from the Terra Star Domain must have a fifth energy level in the strength of the other party.

Even if it was six years ahead of schedule, the strength of the dark gold dragon had not reached the full body, so it should also have the strength of the fourth energy level, right?

It is not surprising that a central-level large labyrinth has fourth-level magical beasts in it, and the exploration teams of various countries will definitely have corresponding forces, but such a big monster staying at the bottom of the ruins is definitely a threat.

Not to mention anything else, if the other party destroys the important materials and artifacts in the ruins, it will really make him more uncomfortable than killing Ian.

As for the true form of the dark golden dragon...... Ian doesn't know either. Is it the heir of the steel dragon? A third-generation true dragon that has been sleeping for a long time, or a fourth-generation true dragon with extremely high talent?

Ian knows very well that even if he has authority, that is, he is 100 million steps ahead of others, he cannot completely guarantee his safety.

In order to ensure his safety when exploring the 'Xenomorph Institute' in the future, he must improve his strength.

After hanging up the communication with Anfa, Ian went straight back to his lab.

Now it's time to sort out the abilities you have.

First of all, there are two bloodline true forms [Rock Forge Knight] and [Fairy]. The essentia organs and essentia structures brought by these two inheritances form the skeleton of Ian's strength today.

Not to mention that these two inheritances are very powerful in themselves, Ian even used semi-potions to give birth to the extreme domain of 'body', 'soul' and 'operational precision', so that his combat effectiveness could be further improved.

The so-called Extreme Domain has been clearly written in Hilliard's notes in the deduction: it is a special structure that allows one creature to far surpass another creature in some way, such as the 'soul structure' of the elf, the 'physical structure' and the 'hearth structure' of the true dragon, all of which make the Sleeves so powerful that they are far superior to other creatures.

There is no doubt that the Polar Domain can be learned and simulated, and human beings, as intelligent beings who are born without the Extreme Domain, can sublimate themselves, hold the Polar Domain of other creatures, and transform themselves into 'superhumans' and 'gods'.

Secondly, there is the third-level soul brought by the meditation method and the [Heart Light Body: Guidance Star].

Because Ian's Mindlight Body is not a direct combat type, it can only be used as a source of 'Heartlight Shield' when fighting, but because Ian uses meditation methods to strengthen his soul and computing power, his Heartlight Shield is stronger, and his recovery and reconstruction speed will be faster.

In addition, the [Computing Unit] constructed from the souls of other Ascendants even allowed Ian to carry several small supercomputers with him, allowing him to use multiple uses during the distraction of the battle, and optimize his combat countermeasures and ability usage methods on the spot.

Then, there are some scattered capabilities.

A essentia furnace based on the core of the ancient dragon and the crystallization of the ether.

This is a new sublimation organ built by integrating two top sublimation organs, and it is Ian's most powerful energy source today, which can allow him to easily burst out of the essentia output of more than ten times the general second energy level, and when the third energy level is in the future, it can also strengthen the strength several times, and it is Ian's hole card that can face the third energy level with a double second energy level.

There are levels of essentia furnace cores, if they are divided into nine levels, the most vulnerable essentia furnace core of the ninth rank will allow the sublimator to burst out a few percent more power, and Ian's essentia furnace core is definitely the first-class and highest level essentia furnace core.

Based on the ability of the Dead Soul in the body.

This ability, Ian generally doesn't use, because to use the Dead King ability, you need to awaken the revenant soul in your body and extract ...... Or to squeeze their existence to provide strength for themselves.

Although Ian's moral bottom line is relatively low, he is not really without morality, if it weren't for the fact that he was going to encounter a mortal crisis, he would definitely not easily use this ability that would burn the souls of others if he was not careful.

Because of his adventures and his talents, Ian has mastered many powerful powers...... If he continued like this, when Ian reached the fourth or even fifth level, his abilities would be completely integrated.

The Aether Crystal and the Ancient Dragon Heart Core will become his core organs at the fourth and fifth energy levels, respectively, allowing him to become one of the strongest people in this life at the fastest speed, standing on the top of the mountain.

This is also Ian's original plan, and although the sublimation method is not perfect, it is completely sufficient for him.

But after the boy developed the 'Meditation Method' and the 'Essentia Heart' and opened up the starting point of the 'Arcane Path', he had an idea in his heart.

"Instead of putting a lot of effort into developing a new version of the 'Stone Lord' and then continuing to mix and match with other abilities, why don't I work a little harder, and develop a new framework based on the abilities I already have, integrating all abilities together?"

"Why don't I just develop a brand new one?"

In the past, what prevented Ian from doing this was that he didn't have the time, the technical reserves, and the money.

But now, Ian has been busy with all the things that should be busy, and in the foreseen two paths, as long as he doesn't take the initiative to cause trouble, he will not have any major events in the next few years, and he will not encounter any difficulties, he just needs to farm quietly.

What he has is time.

At the same time, Ian also got the inheritance of the steel dragon, and got the spark and laboratory of the robe.

Later, he will be able to parse the tinder of the steel dragon with the Shimmer Cradle system...... At that time, all the technical information of a planet will be open to him.

Even though there are many technologies that require other things as preconditions, and some of which are not suitable for humans, they are still enough to support Ian in developing a new heritage.

As for the money ·

"Thank you to the sponsoring brothers, the money is completely enough!"

Ian did the math and found that he only needed to draw a part of Xia Huiling's liquidity reserves and embezzle the materials in the reserve warehouse, which was enough for him to complete all kinds of research.

Sounds a lot like a crime of embezzlement...... But really, on the continent of Terra, which lord doesn't do that? Rather, there is no law at all to prevent the liege from siphoning out the funds of his own territory!

Ian is righteous!

All the prerequisites are in place.

Ian is now setting the tone for the 'Arcane Path'.

"The core of the new lineage lies in the 'meditation method' and the 'essentia core'."

"Meditation strengthens the soul, solidifies the structure, provides high computing power, assists the essentia core to adjust the essentia distribution, and automatically refines the essentia in the body, so that the body can reside in a variety of 'gain states' that the sublimator needs to maintain with energy) and solidify these 'gain states' into 'passive abilities'."

"The better the meditation method, the stronger the computing power, and the more 'passive ability' can be solidified. If you don't practice meditation seriously, others have three passive abilities: 'Steel Skin', 'Brute Bull Power', and 'Dexterous Steps', while you only have one passive ability, 'Dexterous Steps', which is obviously a hanging beating. ”

"And the essentia furnace core stores and refines essentia. If meditation provides the 'quantity' of passive ability, then the essentia hearth is responsible for the 'effect of ability'. ”

"Taking the power of the Brute Bull as an example, the effect that the lowest level essentia furnace can provide is likely to be only '50% increase in strength'. And the highest level, such as the essentia furnace core I built with the ancient dragon heart core as the core, is likely to have a '2000% increase in strength'. ”

"In this way, people who practice meditation methods well, but who do not build a good essentia furnace heart, may not be able to defeat people who practice meditation methods poorly, but people who have high efficiency of essentia furnace hearts."

(The three buff states of '20% Damage Reduction', '50% Power Amplification', and 'Speed Increase 30%' will definitely not be able to beat the buff state of '1000% Power Amplification'.) The former played with bells and whistles for a long time, and the latter only needed to hit once, and he could immediately improve his skills. ”

In Ian's vision, the core of the arcane path lies in the 'meditation method' and the 'essentia core'.

The meditation method can take over the sublimation organ of the sublimator, and activate a certain sublimation ability with long-term inefficiency, which can also strengthen the sublimation ability of the practitioner in their daily life while avoiding the waste of essentia.

For example, Ian's 'Clear Source Crystal' and 'Silver Scale Solid Armor' are the ability to self-purify and purify essentia, and the other is an active defensive skill.

If it is left to the soul strengthened by the meditation method to operate, then he can also constantly self-purify the essentia during his daily actions, and when he encounters any poison that he has not discovered, he can also purify and expel them with higher efficiency, and the defense is even simpler, which is basically equivalent to the essentia shield that he wears a layer of silver-scale armor all the time.

In addition, if the 'Fairy Wings' were solidified, Ian would basically be able to float in the sky all day long, sleeping on the clouds.

The essentia core is a highly efficient essentia motive, which urges each sublimation organ in a more scientific way, bursting out with a power far greater than in the past.

With these two abilities as the core, Ian can completely integrate his two bloodline true forms, 'Immovable Fortified City' and 'Fairy', to form a 'Great Inheritance' that takes into account the advantages of both.

And this great inheritance even includes Ian's psionic abilities and various special abilities.

In fact, this is not something Ian imagined out of thin air, and this is the case with many of the 'spirit gods' he has seen on the way to the Spiritual Calamity.

Each 'Spirit God Inheritance' is a 'Great Inheritance' constructed by the 'Dead Monarch' plus the Spirit God's original 'Bloodline True Form', at most, the Spirit God does not need to practice meditation and essentia furnace hearts, because the Dead King's Dead Soul, that is, the followers of the Spirit God, will provide them with these two abilities.

This is the Inheritance of the Spirits.

The inheritance core constructed by the arcane path path with meditation methods and essentia furnace cores is of course not as good as the god-level power generated by the spirit god's gathering of the power of all souls, but even so, their essence is the same...... In other words, if ordinary sublimators are mundane, then the beginning of the 'Arcane Path' is also a kind of [demigod-level] inheritance.

And if you cultivate to the depths, you can completely cultivate yourself into a 'spirit god' who doesn't need souls and believers...... Or rather, the true gods.

[True God]!

"But that's the final goal."

Shaking his head slightly, Ian withdrew his thoughts, and he smiled, "The true god is the end of the arcane path, and I am now going to begin to develop its starting point. ”

(Based on the Elves and the Immovable Fortified City, the name of the first-ever 'arcane lineage'...... Let's call it Forerunner of Steel. ”.
