The end of the volume: The path to the stars

In the center of the subspace network that was pitch-black across the sky, a brilliant light suddenly lit up at the top of the pitch-black pyramid, and pure white starlight shot out from the spire of the pitch-black pyramid and ran through the sky.

And in the eyes of all the people of Terra, this is a light that rises from the other side of the planet, but appears in front of everyone's eyes, transcending time, space and distance, it starts from the middle line of everyone's vision, and tears a perfectly circular abyss.

One is white, the other contains infinite energy, and it seems that it is about to erupt and explode in the next moment......

White hole.

As if the giant god opened his eyes, the white abyss cave that crossed the heavens and the earth shone in the heavenly dome with a brilliance that made everyone jaw-dropping, better than the sun, and even better than the plague of light.

The sound of the surging tide flashed in front of everyone's eyes and ears.

Gant Righam, Heavenly Sanctuary, a dwarf with gray skin and a jeweled holy tattoo on his forehead stared at the light above the heavenly vault.

In his heart, a heart of the earth shimmered with the brilliance of billions of facets.

Sixteen hundred years ago, the ancestors of the five dwarves built their first shelter in the middle of the Ustaraf Mountains.

[We must not allow an accident with the Avogarol Deep Space Shuttle, fellow citizens, with our lives as an oath, we will always be stationed here until the future Terra returns to peace, until humanity once again embarks on our path to the heavens]

[This is one of our hopes for the other side of the stars in the future, even if we are destined to sleep in the cradle in the future, but before the last moment comes, we must not give up the road to the distance!] 】

Eight hundred and twelve years ago, a king raised the war hammer in his hand and pulled hundreds of millions of brilliance and hundreds of millions of black abysses on the top of the mountain.

So why did the people of Gantrigham ask for the sky? Our children of the earth have come out of the deep abyssal hole, the sky and the world are just a layer of caverns to be dug up for us, since we can break through the blockade of the earth, we will definitely be able to break through the cover of the heavenly dome! 】

【Forward!】 Don't stop moving! For we are the ones who penetrate the vault, the ones who are destined to go to the end of the top! 】

Thousands of years have passed since the teachings of the ancient sages and the Holy King, the children of the earth are trapped by the terrain and powerful enemies, and the development within the republic is not satisfactory, so for so many years, not only has the research on the deep space shuttle made no progress, but even the situation of the country itself is precarious.

Scarce, scarce resources, scarce hope, scarce viable picture, scarce fuel for all dreams.

[Hammer of Creation] [Forge of the Abyss], Rock Jiandun recalled these times integrated into his heart, he occasionally felt ashamed of the past and the present reluctance, but the heart of the rock made him never waver, just gritted his teeth and walked in the world without stopping.

No one is wrong, it's time that is wrong. Time distorts the world, time forgets dreams, and time makes passion no longer hot.

Only now, looking at the brilliant brilliance, the hard heart of the Lord of the Shield began to beat again.

Like a giant hammer beating the drums of war, stirred by the 'dream of what is possible'.

At the top of the Tower of Heavenly Tilt, a man with well-developed muscles and a sad expression held his hands behind him, staring at the white abyss in front of him, like the abyss of light in the eyes of a giant god.

[Life in the world, there are many sufferings, you are willing to follow me to this bitter cold and barren land, how can I sit back and watch you return in disgrace? Come, settle with me in this land of mountains, and one day the mountains will be emptied by us, and then the land of paradise forged by our own hands will be born.]

It was the voice of the Lost Age, the nameless ascetic who came to the barren land of cold mountains, and promised his followers a happy future, and he would open up the frontiers of mankind and light up the stars of the abyss, which is the origin of the name of Yanjiang and the stars of the Yuanyue.

Yet, thousands of years later, after the sea was filled and the mountains turned into plains, people still lived in natural disasters and curses. This may be self-inflicted, but there is definitely a natural ruthlessness.

Everything is because of lack of resources, everything is because of inaccessibility.

But what if, there is infinite energy, infinite power?

The man clenched his fists, his gaze not burning, but a cold determination.

Canaan Moore, Flying Flame Land, Heavenly King's Court, Nine Cold Silent Mountains......

Countless people raised their heads and looked at the heavens.

The desires in the hearts of countless people are vibrating and erecting, because above the heavenly dome, the corner of the great etheric circulation quietly shivers at a glance.

This is the eternal sound of the tide, the power of [Perpetual Motion Machine: Boundless Tide].

[This, the energy in this?! 】

[I can't estimate it, I can't estimate it at all!] 】

[I feel that the Great Aetheric Ocean is manifested in front of me...... This is a port, an insignificant port, but with endless power?! 】

[But it hasn't started yet - how can it be started?!] 】

Everyone who could read the light was stunned, even Ian himself.

However, as he had really seen the Great Aetheric Circulation through the Guidance Star, he was more stunned than stunned.

"I see, sure enough, the perpetual motion machine itself is a permission interface of the Great Aetheric Circulation - the sound of the eternal tide is the basis of its call!"

In this way, the perpetual motion machine can analyze the fairness of this vote and can also be explained! Because it is a tool of the star gods, with intelligence but no ego, just like the psionic energy of the Great Aetheric Circulation and the Precursor response mechanism, it can solve all the questions that intelligent life can answer! ”

Suddenly, Ian froze, and he turned his head to look at the shining light that had not erupted.

【Boundless Tide】

He asked in a loud voice, and all the beings in the world, whether strong or weak, old or young, human beings and monsters, heard the prophet's inquiry: [Are the current human beings still qualified to vote for the launch of the perpetual motion machine!] 】

Without the slightest delay.

The white eyes above the heavenly dome flickered, and then the endless starlight fell into the world, dotting on the forehead of every intelligent life, piercing through the canopy and flowing clouds, through the mountains and forests.

It was like a rain of light from the sky, and then the light dissipated, as if everything was an illusion.

Then, there is an indescribable soul voice that can only be described as "calm", which resounded through the hearts and souls of all living beings.

[Terra Star Field, main settlement, Terra Planet Determination...... 4% of the minds that meet the strict voting rights, and you can vote immediately]

[Mild disturbance of the mind, 83.55%, cured, can be voted in two years]

[Seriously confused mind, 5.239%, recovering, can vote after 11 years]

[Absolutely anomalous mind, 3.451%, recovering, can vote after one hundred and forty-five years.] Immediate treatment is recommended.

[Extreme Distorted Mind, 1.905%......]

[Impersonal ......]

A series of data, detailed and clear, even a monkey can understand the fan charts and statistical lists that come to mind, one by one, without a trace of emotion.

This is the perpetual motion machine. There is intelligence but no ego.,Can judge right and wrong.,Absolutely impartial star god props.。

At this moment, Ian can fully understand what the perpetual motion machine is—it is the port of the Great Aetheric Circulation, and this process is the same as in the memory of the Forerunners, when the other party received the gift of the Star God! The Great Aetheric Circulation will grant the Pioneer Star God Gift according to the conditions, and naturally it will also judge whether the other party can obtain and use the perpetual motion machine according to the conditions of the world.

And now, here's the main event.

[then]

Under the gaze of all the mighty, Ian, who had summoned the tide of eternity, continued: "How can we activate you—activate this perpetual motion machine for our civilization? 】

[In addition to the corresponding permissions, that is, the Terra permissions, the True Dragon permissions, and the creator master permissions, a referendum is also required]

[At this moment, the Terra civilization does not have the authority to conduct the 'Start Voting' process]

To Ian's question, Boundless Tide answered in great detail: [The standard count of the referendum needs to exceed the knowledge and participation of intelligent life on the entire planet by 80% or more, but there are not so many minds in the Terra Domain who have complete self-awareness]

[Theoretically, the Terra Planet Terra civilization should be disqualified from voting to activate the perpetual motion machine, but in view of the fact that this mental brainwashing has not been completed, and the injured people have no excessive sequelae, the purity of the voting crowd can be guaranteed, so it can be concluded that after two to eleven years, when more than 80% of the Terra wisdom mind returns to normal, the perpetual motion machine can be launched to start voting]

【Thank you very much】

Ian smiled and nodded, then asked, "So, what does broad voting mean?" 】

[All standard sapient life on the planet has one vote that determines an 'initiator', giving it the ability to manipulate a perpetual motion machine]

The reply of the perpetual motion machine was simple and clear, but it shocked and incredible all the strong people who were listening: [The voting rules are based on the civilization form of the Terra civilization - an elite leadership political system dominated by powerful individuals, and each region will have a candidate as the seed contestant participating in the voting]

[Based on this, the more strong people who can get the support of the masses, they can get the qualification to control the perpetual motion machine]

【Thank you】

Speaking of this, Ian was already smiling, he turned his head, looked at the earth, and repeated: [The activation of the perpetual motion machine requires the corresponding permissions, free minds, and a popular vote]

[Brainwashed ordinary people cannot act as voting individuals. Only more than 80% of the participants are normal can open the voting for the launch of the perpetual motion machine.

[They can't be brainwashed slaves, nor can they be seduced madmen, you have to let everyone support you from the bottom of their hearts, instead of daring to be angry and dare not speak - as long as there is a place in this world that people yearn for, they will support the strong people in the distance instead of the current you]

And then, the people who vote will empower the one who respects them the most, and then destroy all the crazy scum!] 】

[Do you understand?] All the 'strongest'? Beings more powerful than you have made a simple and unpretentious rule - as long as you want the incredible power to realize infinite dreams, there must be limits to your madness! 】

That's what Ian really aims for.

The reason why he spent his power, exposed his hole cards, and called for the perpetual motion machine to appear, was to tell everyone in the whole Terra.

——The infinite power of the perpetual motion machine exists.

——Perpetual motion machine can realize everyone's dreams.

——A perpetual motion machine can only be activated under conditions, not a simple treasure that can be used when you get it.

- If you want to realize your dreams, you need to meet the conditions, and you can't do what you want.

With a deep breath, Ian looked at the earth, the corners of his mouth slightly curled.

- Want a perpetual motion machine? Let's build a world where all people have dignity and have a future and aspirations. I've put all my infinite power there!

No one doubts the authenticity of Ian and the perpetual motion machine words.

This is not something that can be lied, and the power contained in the perpetual motion machine is by no means pretendable, it is even more real than the world itself, even if they themselves are not real, the perpetual motion machine cannot be fake.

Therefore, a 'constraint' that is difficult for all strong people to accept appears in front of all strong people in this way.

From now on, those meaningless ordinary people, those complicated things that grow and disappear like weeds in their eyes, now have the right to decide who is the most powerful in the world.

Whoever makes the vast number of people live happily can get the control of the perpetual motion machine!

It's too mechanical! It's too much!

Indeed, there are some strong people who think so, they have tried their best to make their country hegemonic, or to get more say on the continent of Terra, but now, some people have told them that all their previous efforts have been in vain, and the most meaningful thing is to treat the people of their own country well and let them support themselves?

Not only that, but he also has to let people in other countries know about it, and then yearn for life in his own country?

It's too much, isn't this becoming a strong man serving ordinary people, and he wants to flatter them!

But there are also some more intelligent and powerful people who are keenly aware that this vote is not a simple populist vote.

The civilization behind the perpetual motion machine, the civilization called Star God, is not a simple supporter of democracy, on the contrary, it is a strong and inclusive civilization that embraces all extreme forms of civilization such as absolute dictatorship, monarchy, oligarchy, gestalt consciousness, giant enterprise system, and even the hive of division.

To put it simply, as a transcendent species, the star god has no political position in human cognition at all—this thing is too small to describe the will of the star god.

He clearly knows that today's Terra is pure elite politics of the strong - the logic of perpetual motion machines does not exclude this, so even if it is a referendum, it does not mean that everyone is qualified to be a candidate to be voted for by the people, but strong enough to become the actual controller of a certain place, and only after becoming a candidate can he participate in this voting competition.

So how do you become the de facto master?

There is no limit given by a perpetual motion machine. This is true even if you lead an army to defeat the freedmen of a place, and then gradually gain the approval of the people for your good rule.

Even if you invade, bring benefits to your own country, let militarism prevail in your own country, and produce a crazy worship of yourself, it is not against the law.

This is not to force all strong people to kneel and lick ordinary people and make themselves serve them.

On the contrary, it is a war.

And the cards of war, the essence of war, are still the people in their hands.

Only this time, what they need to spend is not the blood, tears and lives of the people, but their laughter, happiness and happiness.

That's the only limit that perpetual motion machines make: don't waste human life for no reason or senseless.

He added a huge stake to the value of all life, but it didn't change the rules of the game.

- Human life is a more precious resource than you think, don't waste it casually.

Other than that, what they need to do is no different from what they have done in the past.

Both the star gods and the perpetual motion machine are merciful, but they are also ruthless, and if humanity chooses the path of destruction and chooses to kill its own people, even the gods will be silent, and at most let out a sigh.

But that's exactly what happened.

There are also mad strong people who have lost their minds because of these 'too harsh conditions'.

[Damn human! 】

The dark mountain range suddenly exploded with a dim streamer, and a sharp claw pierced the light in the sky, and with the most decisive killing intent, it hit Ian in the middle of the sky, under the perpetual motion machine.

This raid did not surprise Ian, and the Prophet, who had foreseen this, looked in the direction of the attacker and rebuked softly, "Empty Beast, Hellbreaker, Lord of the Dark Mountains...... Yes, you are a lonely person with no fifth energy level without any supporters, no wonder you are so defense-breaking]

The attacker is none other than one of the three Titan Monsters and Abyssal Xenomorphs who are alone in the Dark Mountains, the Lord of Shadow Time and Space who rules the southwest of the Titan Domain, the King of Shadowmares, a pure monster with a variety of forms and a body of shadow negative energy.

The Nightmare King's life form is very different from most of the creatures in this world, it lives in a dark nebula of dark matter, and its home is the shattered space-time, and since the distant past, the Shadow Lord has lived a solitary wandering life in the dark mountains northwest of Terra.

He doesn't have many of his kind, he hasn't built his own beast kingdom, and he doesn't even have much of the psychology and ability to cooperate in groups, because his essence is a kind of super life entrenched in a star field, a lone giant beast.

In the past, as a fifth-level power, he was respected by all kingdoms anyway, as a competitor and partner to them, and the fear and bowing of mortals was his only pleasure—but now, the advent of Ian and the perpetual motion machine has naked deprived him of his superiority.

He who has no people will have no place in the future world - except for the identity of the fifth level itself, his value has fallen to the bottom, and no other fifth level will even consider an alliance with him, because the Lord of Nightmare has a long reputation, unless he continues to be good to people for a hundred years from now, otherwise, he will quickly become the most unpopular and despised powerhouse in the future world, and no one will communicate with him in harmony.

The blow to his pride was far greater than the actual damage he suffered—so he was genuinely angry and angry at Ian!

For a while, the deep sharp claws pierced through time and space, and the pitch-black shadows eroded everything around them, condensing a broken array of inscriptions, and the seemingly ordinary sharp claws also changed violently at the same time, condensing into an illusory shadow warship, a phantom army.

The Nightmare devoured the souls and memories of all beings, and the alien fleets that had invaded their homeland had become a part of them after being devoured by them, and the shadows rose and fell, and the thoughts generally extended, quickly creating a dark cloud in the sky that covered the sky and the sun, in which countless spaceship beasts, the defeated generals of the Shadow Nightmare appeared, and attacked Ian.

These shadow formations contain wonderful laws, and Ian can see that its external form is meaningless, whether it is a spaceship or a behemoth, a human soldier or a meteorite, the image it conjures up is only a kind of momentum, and the most important thing is the power of burden transformation contained in it.

To put it simply, it seems to be violent, as if a sharp blade is about to smash everything, but in fact it is a kind of defensive counterattack force, if someone is frightened by this momentum and fights with all their might, they will be swallowed by the power of the shadow that has been prepared for a long time, and then coerced, turned into a more powerful force to bombard back, and hit people off guard!

But unfortunately, this little trick can deceive anyone, but it cannot deceive the prophet.

And Ian's attack is by no means something he can absorb the transformation.

With everyone watching, Ian raised his sword.

Raised the 'Fallen Sun's Edge',

The pitch-black Aether Black Domain rotated rapidly, and the dazzling light erupted, turning into endless sword light, for a while, time and space were distorted, and everyone was stunned to find that they could no longer see anything in their field of vision except for this huge sword of time and space, and the overly strong gravitational force distorted the horizon, and all the light and all the pictures would converge in it.

Even light can distort -

For a while, the powerhouses who were watching this scene with cold eyes, waiting for the King of Nightmare to try Ian, the 'new fifth energy level', were suddenly stunned in their hearts, and they thought of the blood of the two returning Sun God Bird Thrones before...... They thought it was Mikael who had died with Axel with the help of the ancient dragon, and Ian was just assisting from the side, but now it seems that ...... Could it be that the other party's immovable fortified city is already close to the first knight of the year......

There is no time to continue thinking.

The Shadowlord suddenly felt his power lose touch with him—but it was only then that he saw Ian raise his sword.

Raising his head, the Empty Beast saw in disbelief that the dimensional blade that had sliced through time and space was slashing straight at itself, slashing at its body, and it was only now that his observation and aether sensing organs had belatedly told him that Ian Silverpeak had just swung his sword and slashed down—

But He had already been slain.

The light he saw was slower than the actual sword, and the light carried the opponent's movements just now, and beyond time and space, the faster-than-light dimensional blade had already slashed at his body.

I can't even perceive it, and the speed of the slash is faster than the mind - how can this lightfall blow be reversed by the shadows?

Click! In the dark mountain range, a terrible howl was released, covering the dark clouds and secret territory in the southwest of the mountain range, and the monstrous black blood waves splashed, setting off waves between heaven and earth.

Behind the Lord of Nightmares, the mountains of the earth, the rivers and hills, and the valleys of the forests all had a crack, and this crack continued to extend, splitting in both directions, splitting the entire land in two.

The rift was born.

[In terms of strength, you are at most on an equal footing with me, but this clumsy skill, unwilling to explode at the first time is just a temptation to think carefully, you are destined to be farther and farther away from me, and eventually become my stepping stone completely]

Slowly retracting his sword, Ian didn't even give the Nightmare King a second of staring, he turned his head and looked at the vast land of Terra again, and the beings above it.

He could feel that after showing his strength, the beings of Terra, who were still hesitating, doubting, and hesitating, had for the first time developed a kind of fanaticism, a kind of trust, a kind of yearning and worship for no reason.

This contrast makes Ian feel a little funny, but he doesn't feel lost, because this is Terra, this is the order of this world.

- Only strength, only great power, can be respected by the people of Terra.

- This is a civilization that has experienced 1,600 years of natural disasters and foreign attacks, and everyone has to bear the sudden crisis of death equally, such a world should aspire to the strong, revere the strong, and respect all those who can protect them.

Just as people would revere any leader who would bring them a safe life, a peaceful and happy life, and a well-fed and clothed life, what is there to lose?

Because he has his invincible power and can respond to everyone's wishes!

【Everyone】

So, Ian Silverpeak, the White Prophet known to all Terra, opened his arms to the earth: "As long as anyone is willing to believe, I will take refuge"

[I long for the power of perpetual motion machines to achieve my dream - I want to create a new world where everyone can have the strength to resist all accidents and disasters in life, and the arcane path is the proof of my dream, the prototype of the new world I want to create]

[I will not allow anyone in this world to hurt others for no reason, because all of you will be a member of the future world I want to create]

[So, if you are willing to believe in the future I want to create, you can vote for me in the future!] 】

[In the name of Ian Silverpeak, I will prove during this time that what I say is not a lie, but something that will and will happen in the future!] 】

This is the prophecy of the prophets! 】

- Huh?

- Why is this person so shameless and starts canvassing now!?

For a while, before the many powerhouses who were still shocked by the power of the Falling Sun's Edge had time to think about how to crack this superluminal sword, they saw that this shameless young man actually took advantage of this great opportunity to canvass for votes for the people of Taila!

However, that's just the way it is!

When the perpetual motion machine was announced, the war, the war of the new era, the Terra War of the post-solar era, had already begun!

A new order, a new law and a new mode of warfare in this world, from now on, have begun to fulfill!

[Let all witness! 】

Whether it is a king or a pauper, a peddler carrying melons and fruits on the streets, or a merchant sitting in a palatial guild to negotiate an agreement, whether it is a marshal of a fleet or a sailor on a fishing boat, in this new era, it is only one vote.

[Let all life witness! 】

Whether it's a monster or an alien, whether it's an evil demon or an angel, whether it's an evil freak or a good saint, those who hunt and the hunted are all equal now, in the eyes of the star gods, in the eyes of the perpetual motion machine, they are all and just one vote.

[Let all minds witness this war!] 】

The people never cared whether the strong man above their heads was an emperor or a king, a governor or a speaker. As long as he can bring dignity, bring food, bring victory and joy, and live a happy, well-being, calm and stable life, then he is the god of the people.

In Terra, the powerhouses of the fifth level need to fight against natural disasters, and need to resist the invasion of geological changes and other powerhouses and demonic beasts, without them, from the beginning of the Lost Era, human beings do not deserve to enjoy tranquility, so no matter how crazy the powerhouses of the fifth level are, driven crazy by their own power, and go to the path of madness, people still revere them, just like the bruised children who have been ravaged by the world, and will still revere their own madness, but will still shelter themselves from the wind and rain, and bear all the damage of the elders and guardians.

The people don't even mind that the fifth-level powerhouse ignores them and despises them, they don't care, as long as the powerhouse is willing to stretch out a hand in the dark and cold world to block those natural disasters that they can't fight, then the people will praise this righteous act and praise him as a hero.

Even if this fifth-level powerhouse is brutal and rude, and regards them as gray cattle and fuel for his dreams, as long as he can rain in the year of great drought and disaster, crush typhoons when wind disasters come, and expel blizzards when cold disasters occur, then people will praise his deeds and worship the great figure.

If this fifth-level powerhouse can still think more, try to make everyone eat more meat, educate more knowledge, and make everyone rich and not disturbed by life, then even if this fifth-level powerhouse doesn't say a word, there will be a sect that is holy in his name spreading on the earth.

You only need to do this, you only need to do things that are not difficult for the powerhouses of the fifth energy level, so that people can remember that Inaga II is like that, even if there is a whole world to belittle and reprimand, there are still many people who remember the good beyond his mistakes, and the right beyond his mistakes.

The beings of the world of Terra don't ask for anything more, they just need a safe home, a future where they can worry about it, enough to eat, and warm clothes.

As long as this is done, it doesn't matter whether it's the emperor or the gods.

So, is that enough?

Ian felt that there could be better – dignity, education, self-aspirations, dreams and a future.

This is war.

The war between the New World and the Old World.

The war of desires and dreams.

Once......

A war that ends all wars.

The person who holds the perpetual motion machine will become the strongest person in this world, the one who defines all order and morality.

Anyone can compete, anyone can vote.

The future will decide who will win.

Above the sky, the light of the perpetual motion machine was fading—the summoned Endless Tide knew that now was not the time to activate itself, so it withdrew its gaze and returned to the endless aetheric abyss.

Await. Wait.

Waiting for the future to become a reality, waiting for hope to become the present.

When it appears next time, it may be the day when this scarred immature civilization matures and is no longer a child.

The next time it appears, it may be the day when everyone can look to the future and beyond with joy and hope.

Because of this, waiting is the greatest virtue of this universe.

And at the moment when the White Abyss Cave on the heavenly dome disappeared.

The sound of disturbance rang out.

- So what? Prophet?

- Can you tell us about your dreams? What do you want to do when you get a perpetual motion machine?

- The new world is too vast and too large for us to understand.

Ian heard the voices, the doubts and a dark longing and yearning.

It is precisely because they want to convince themselves, to believe in their heavenly selves, that they have inquiries and doubts.

Ian was slightly stunned at this, and then smiled happily.

[My wish, you can't understand it for the time being, this world, everyone may not be able to understand it]

He replied softly, in a soft tone, as if describing a fragile dream: [But I will make the lives of the people in my territory better, let them understand what science and art are, let them learn philosophical speculation and logic, let them understand nature, society and the universe]

[I will let them know the history, the present and the future]

[And I have a dream]

[Only that]

Thus saying, with his back to the dark sun, the Prophet closed his eyes: "Only then will you understand, and you will know ......]

Why do I want to go to ......?

【High in the Sky】
