The world has changed since the victor of the Battle of the Sun, Ian Silverpeak, the Sunfall Blade, returned to the continent of Terra on January 1, 777, and issued a perpetual motion proclamation.

The most intuitive change is that the world war, which was still in full swing, has now completely stopped.

To be precise, before the Battle of the Sun, the intensity of the war on a continent-wide scale was gradually decreasing.

The struggle between countries has reached the point of routine, partly because countries have sent a large number of high-level combat forces back to study the arcane path, and partly because the war has reached this point, and the victory and defeat of the stage have been clear.

If we continue to fight, unless we continue to increase investment, we will not have more results.

This set the stage for a truce.

As for why the truce...... The reason is simple.

Because from top to bottom, everyone doesn't want to fight.

The strong don't want to fight, because they don't want to die - the emergence of perpetual motion machines makes the victory or defeat of the war extremely ridiculous, and the soldiers who kill the other side are nothing more than providing the other side with an unwavering source of dead people, and if their own side dies during the attack, they may hate themselves in turn.

So far, no one wants to take the initiative to attack other countries, and whether they win or lose, they will lose more than they lose.

And for ordinary people...... Hey, who wants to fight!

In the future, no matter who gets the perpetual motion machine, there is a high probability that everyone will have a good life, so why abandon the good life in the future for the sake of war? Now that I'm dead, it's really a loss, not only will I not see the beautiful golden age of mankind in the future, but I may also miss the era of the 'National Sublimator' in the theory of the arcane path!

If everything is really as Ian Yinfeng said, then, after the perpetual motion machine really starts to start, what the human race of Terra will usher in is an era of unlimited energy, territorial expansion, no food worries, everyone is well fed, clothed and housed, and everyone can pursue their dreams!

Although the big guy doesn't know who the final winner is, there is no doubt that whoever doesn't set these above futures into his goals, then even if the other party is the strongest sublimator in his country, the big guy may not vote for him.

Because of Ian Yinfeng's words, the rulers of all the countries of the world rolled in.

Of course, there are also some rulers who are not interested in perpetual motion machines, or who think they cannot win.

However, they do not dare to continue to oppress and oppress the people in their own country in that way.

Why?

Because, the powerful people in this world who have the capital to compete for the ownership of the perpetual motion machine, the rulers of the largest countries, have long been hungry to lock their scarlet eyes on the leaders of all other forces.

But whoever gives these strong men the possibility of victory finds that they are oppressing the people in their own country......

Then you don't have to think about it, the strong men of these powerful countries will suddenly attack with lightning speed, join forces to kill them, and then divide his country and divide the 'vote source'.

Everyone has to be the best and perfect, or else they will be robbed of it - and the oppressed people will never miss a strong man who oppressed them, but will happily vote for those who have liberated them!

This is the 'ticket intimidation' of the new era!

The bottom refuses to go to war, the strong who are not strong enough dare not continue the war, and the strongest group of strong people have long given up the war, and scan the whole audience to see which country dares to continue to oppress the people to join the army and continue the war.

In this way, the war quickly ended.

But a new concept of 'competition' has appeared in the world.

The strong are thinking about how to build a society that can best be approved by all the people, in line with the local people's livelihood, and not too ambitious, but can be really created.

In a sense, this is also a kind of war, but it is a war that has changed its logic.

In this regard, there are also many ordinary people who are puzzled.

Originally, wars were fought by people who gave their lives to conquer other forces because of the will of some powerful people.

This is the same as the grandfather of the Congressman, for the benefit of his own factories and farms, with a wave of his hand, let the sons of one group of farmers go thousands of miles away to kill the sons of another group of farmers.

Hundreds of millions, if not tens of millions, of people have been burned out of the fuel of war, both victors and losers, and the end result may not be satisfactory.

However, unlike the earth, if the strong people in the Terra continent want to start a war, they must also be a member of the war, no matter whether they succeed or fail, the strong (the powerful) have the possibility of death, which is almost equivalent to the logic of nuclear war on the earth in a sense, that is, if there is a war, the strong at the top are the easiest to die first.

But on the other hand, every war in Terra is tantamount to a nuclear war, so the possibility of world destruction is unusually great.

Cruel.

But it's also simple and easy to understand.

But now?

No one has to face the danger of world destruction all the time, and because of this, many people wonder about it.

- Even in the end, it was really decided that a strong man with a perpetual motion machine was born...... This can't change the logic of the world, it's nothing more than to give everyone an invincible emperor!

- If the emperor is not going to fulfill his promise, can the perpetual motion machine counter it?

The original war brought about unequivocal destruction, but now the competition is too complex for the people to understand the consequences of such a complex competition, so they are even more confused.

However, there are also many people who don't care about this: Could it be that there is no invincible emperor/speaker/prime minister above everyone's heads now? Rather than worrying about this kind of problem, it is better to trust the perpetual motion machine directly.

A goal that is not lofty enough may not allow a perpetual motion machine to kick off at all.

This is Terra today, a world that is changing with each passing day.

And at the center of the solar war and the perpetual motion machine manifesto, the situation in the Sattar Empire was even more rapidly changing.

In today's empire, the situation is very strange.

Earl Ian Silverpeak of Southridge joins forces with Second Prince Mikael to engage the Emperor Protector Axel, and Earl Silverpeak returns to Terra as the final victor.

Count Silverpeak did not betray the Empire - at least, not with the morality of a fifth-level powerhouse - he returned the blood of the Emperor and the Second Prince, and the original Grand Prince Carlos and Grand Empress Allegria both received a share of the blood of the Throne.

And then...... It's the division of the empire.

In fact, not only the Empire, but also the Terra states are now a bit divided.

After all, the perpetual motion machine is not to choose 'one force' but 'one individual' as the ultimate victor.

In this case, even if the comrades-in-arms who originally fought side by side, if they all have different wishes, then they still have to compete for the perpetual motion machine.

Even, the fifth-level powerhouses who are already in the same country will weaken each other's vote sources and cannot defeat those forces that have only one supreme voice in the first place.

For example, Yanjiang has a small population, and if Juyue and Yuanxing have different aspirations, then his biggest opponent is not the ruler of other countries, but his 'colleagues' on his own side.

The original empire belonged to the latter.

Neither the Governor of White Silence nor the Commander of the First Legion could compete with the brilliance of the Sun Emperor.

But now, the sun's brilliance is split.

Neither Carlos nor Allegria is a character who is willing to be subordinate.

If their younger brother Mikael, who was the first to enter the fifth level, was still alive (and did), then they might still be able to accept him as the new emperor, but if it was the other party...... The division of the empire is the best solution.

Today, although the empire is still legally one, it has effectively divided the eastern and western empires.

The First Legion Commander followed the Grand Prince Carlos, while the Governor of White Silence chose to support the Grand Empress Allegria.

And the new generation of Immovable Fortified City, the successor of the Black Sun, Earl Ian Silverpeak...... also relied on the merit of 'escorting the blood of the top seat', and became the Duke of Yinfeng, the Grand Duke of the Imperial Nanling.

Three points for the Empire.

The ticket source is also three points.

Today, the empire no longer has an overwhelming advantage over other powers, so in turn, the forces within other countries have begun to divide and divide.

It's not the same worldline, though...... But the same.

For the sake of perpetual motion machines, the era of the Great Schism, has arrived.

And for Ian, everything is good.

Not to mention anything else, now that Ian has become the rightful Grand Duke of Nanling, it is equivalent to letting him build an independent country.

Although Ian had actually controlled the entire Southridge before, the owner of Southridge was still the Marquis of Batun, and after Ian became the Duke, he was the real owner of this land.

People will be proud to be from Southridge and happy to be a citizen of his Ian Silverpeak.

As for the Marquis of Batun...... He happily retired.

Although the Marquis had some regrets about Axel's ending, the old man didn't even regret it after knowing that his lord was actually planning such an incredible madness and really succeeded.

"I don't think there's anyone to regret for him - Your Majesty has done everything he wanted."

"As a courtier, I just have to be relieved."

Having said this, the Marquis of Batun was very comfortable in handing over the power of the Nineteenth Legion to Ian, and his son also swore allegiance to Ian, and he was completely retired under Ian.

"Old slippery head."

This is Ian's assessment, he is quite helpless about the Marquis of Batun's application for retirement, and he also expects the other party to work hard for a while to calm down the situation.

But he also knew that the Marquis of Batun did not have much to live, and if he didn't retreat now and use the arcane path to regulate his body, he was afraid that he would die in a few years.

Human life is the first thing, so he can only let him retreat.

In addition, there are many strange things that happen in the Empire.

First of all, in the western part of the empire, the Forest of Mist, where the Grand Duchy of Thorin was originally located, began to gradually spew out a fiery aura from the center of the earth.

The significance of this scene is obvious: the justice of Thorin is gradually bringing his fallen kingdom to the surface and returning to the present world.

As the fifth energy level of the former Imperial faction, his appearance attracted everyone's attention.

After Axel's death, Grand Duke Thorin returned......

What exactly is his purpose?

Is it for schadenfreude?

Or is it up to the empire to get a piece of the pie in the chaos of the current situation?

Or ......

Before others could continue to speculate, Grand Duke Thorin's own words dispelled everyone's doubts.

[I don't have any ideas about perpetual motion machines, and I don't think I can succeed]

[Now that the situation in the world has changed, there will no longer be a devastating war in this life, and my people can choose to be reborn - but this requires too much energy and resources for me to bear in a short period of time, or to put it bluntly, I can't do it]

Therefore, if anyone is willing to make a covenant with me to revive my people, my power may be used by him.

Grand Duke Thorin has turned all the people of his principality into ghosts, avoiding the fierce battles between the Empire and the Flamelands, as well as the invasion of demon legions.

From the perspective of later generations, Grand Duke Thorin did preserve the souls of his people, and did not let anyone's souls be devoured and shattered by demons, leaving the possibility of rebirth for his people.

However, the brutality of the study of the Dead King, and the fact that a large number of people did indeed 'die', also made Grand Duke Thorin the world's 'worst tyrant' - anyone who talks about him is disgusted with fear.

The declaration of the Grand Duke of Thorin was so sincere that no one would doubt that he still had ambitions for a perpetual motion machine. Everyone knew that Grand Duke Thorin really wouldn't compete with them for a perpetual motion machine, and in that case, it was very tempting for such a fifth-level ally.

The problem is that the vast majority of Terra people have a natural aversion to Grand Duke Thorin.

An alliance with him is likely to cause his people to no longer support him.

This is the natural fear of madmen, an attitude that cannot be changed in words and promises.

- For your own good, I can kill you and turn you into a ghost...... This kind of will is simply a dark demon king.

Of course, according to the words of Grand Duke Sorin, as long as his people are revived, then his people can get rid of their status as 'non-free souls' and have the right to vote.

Those who revive them will undoubtedly get this ticket.

The benefits were enough to offset the fears of his own people about Archduke Thorin.

But here's the problem.

- If you want to get the vote of the Grand Duke of Thorin and fight for the perpetual motion machine, you need to resurrect the people of the Grand Duke of Thorin.

- And if you want to resurrect the people of the Grand Duke of Thorin, it is difficult for all the strong people in this world to do it in a short time, and it is only possible to do it with a perpetual motion machine.

The circular paradox belongs to the yes.

"At present, only I can get this 'ticket source' in the hands of Grand Duke Thorin."

At the Southridge meeting, Ian was very direct about his opinion: "The Arcane Path is the only way to allow these souls who are about to wear themselves out of themselves to find themselves little by little, and I believe that with my appeal, the people of Southridge will not fear me for the sake of Grand Duke Thorin." ”

"But let me say that restoring the souls of the dead in the hands of Grand Duke Thorin is only the first step, and the second step is to let these souls regain their bodies."

Compared with the fifth-level on the Terra continent, which is still issuing new policies to appease the people and attract votes, Ian's current attitude is to sit firmly in the Diaoyutai.

As long as he does a good job in his Nanling basic plate, then the people of Nanling, who have loved him very much from the beginning, will definitely not be pulled away by others.

In turn, he can plot other people's subjects and siphon the population of other countries just like he is now planning the source of votes in the hands of Grand Duke Thorin.

"There are many ways to let the dead have a body, but in terms of biological cloning, because we don't have the gene pool of the Grand Duke of Thorin, it is difficult to achieve, after all, humans are not real dragons, and they can switch biological prostheses at will, so we need to think towards the 'mechanical prosthesis'."

At the meeting, Ian looked at his mechanical alchemy minister, Roland: "I have already sent the technology of the mechanical prosthesis before, and now, the main task of our Yinfeng Mechanical Alchemy Department is to turn these theoretical technologies into reality." ”

"It doesn't matter if you encounter problems along the way, summarize everything and submit it to Adalbert, and he will solve it."

"Yes!" Roland replied earnestly, and then began to write down on the crystal board, jfailing every word of Ian's speech.

The technology of mechanical prosthetics is actually the technology related to the mechanical technology of the pre-era civilization and the 'eternal elves' of Canaan Moore. Ian had already gotten it, but it would take a little time for his tech department to get all the advanced techniques thoroughly.

Ian believes that in the process, Yinfeng Ling's technicians will encounter a lot of problems, and only by constantly asking questions and solving problems can they progress and keep up with their own pace.

As for whether Adbert can really solve all the problems raised by the technical department......

Haha, it's not Adbert answering at all!

Although Adbot is not inferior to his own genius, Ian also knows that the other party's main endowment is in the soul psychic, although the machine is still proficient, but it is only an ordinary genius, and it is absolutely impossible to solve all the problems encountered by the technical department.

However, Adbert is the 'test paper writer' of the 'pioneer space'!

If he really encounters a problem that he can't solve by himself, he doesn't need to burn his brain cells to solve it at all, but can directly write it into a test paper in the pioneer space and distribute it to all users of the pioneer space!

In the pioneer space, there are many people who are proficient in mechanical technology, and it is not uncommon for them to outperform Adalbert.

Even if it is a victory, one side is a busy person, and the other side is a student who is taking the exam, who can take the trouble to solve the obvious.

Gathering the wisdom of all the talents in Terra to solve problems for their own territory technology, this is the power of Ian's pioneer space prostitution!

Again, this is the reason why Ian immediately went all out to improve the Pioneer Platform after returning to the Silver Peak Territory, and combined it with the Heart of Terra to become a 'Pioneer Space'!

The creator of the pioneer space is Ian.

The original founding members were Essengard, Adalbert, Anfa and Theo.

After Ian returned to Terra, it was these people who came to greet him as soon as possible, and Anfa even specially asked his uncle Japhda to open the gate from Canaan Moore.

Ian was naturally very happy, he was not a bloodless and tearless machine - maybe in other timelines, he might have become that kind of being, but at least this time, he had friends and elders from beginning to end, and naturally he was not that kind of monster.

During the War of the Sun, Isengard stayed in the Imperial Capital, communicating with the 'immortality' within Inaga II.

As Ian chatted with Inaga II, Isengard didn't feel too much pressure...... It's just that as a 'replica' of Inaga II in a sense, he is very curious about his great-grandfather, his own original body.

The communication between the two of them is the story outside the story...... But in general, Isengard completely untied his own knot.

He was completely reconciled with his past and origins—he was a unique individual, a child of his own mother, not a descendant of his father's undesirable birth, not an experimental subject of his maternal grandfather's grand plans, and certainly not a copy of Inaga II.

His heart light body was also completely formed at this moment.

It is called 'Sunset Light', a kind of light that combines the beast of a thousand stars and the sun god bird, which is close to dusk, not bright, not clear, and even gives people a hazy and dim light.

Its effect is also not so wonderful and powerful, it can only be 'calming'.

It's like sitting in a circle around a crackling campfire under a canopy of dusk.

With a smile and peace of mind, everyone drank drinks and ate barbecue delicacies together, watching the sun slowly set on the horizon...... Then the world sank into the night.

So, you can sleep peacefully.

That's how 'calm' it is.

I went for a physical examination today, and I hope there won't be any major problems, but if there is a problem, it will have to be treated
