Chapter 56: The Right One Called [Guide] (1W2)

【Wandering Terra ......】

The Dragon King of the Polar Wind is drawn to the future described by Ian and immerses himself in it.

He couldn't help but imagine the sight of a pitch-black, massive cradle planet, moving with its moons, the twin moons, toward the Sun of Terra.

It doesn't move very fast, it follows gravity, and after a while, it submerges into the sun and begins to absorb endless amounts of light and heat.

After another period of time, this planetary cradle flew out from the other side of the sun, and it ran through the sun, passed through the sun's fusion core, and absorbed enough light and heat to supply the internal planetary ecology with millions, if not hundreds of millions of years.

Then the cradle began to accelerate, and it accelerated, and accelerated, until it reached the edge on the other side of the cradle, another complete 'cradle wall' ten light-years away from the gap.

At that time, Ian, who had already become a star god, could control the cradle to fuse, and then separate, smoothly penetrating the impenetrable cradle wall and coming to the 'great universe' of the outside world.

That may be one of the 'keys' left by the star god.

Either we can make a 'magnetic monopole' or a 'cradle'...... If you can't even create these two, don't go to the outside world and obediently admit that you are a child.

[It's amazing! The Extreme Wind Dragon King walked out of his imagination, he looked at Ian, and couldn't help but admire: [Indeed, we don't need to fix anything that is broken, and sometimes we do need to do the opposite and reverse our thinking]

[Since Terra is now the gathering place of almost all life, then just take Terra with you!] 】

- Even with the most exaggerated and presumptuous imagination of the Extreme Wind Dragon King, he would not blow up the sun, on the other hand, a human who planned to blow up the sun directly at the beginning, the difference between humans and dragons is so great.

Ian didn't know that the Extreme Wind Dragon King hadn't blown up the sun in his imagination, and if he did, he would definitely shake his head, because it wasn't his hobby to blow up the sun, but to leave a complex enough environment for the end, so that this 'tree of the abyss' without wisdom could slowly gather the mass of the sun and create a black hole, leaving them plenty of time to leave.

Not to mention, the supernova explosion itself can bring enough 'heavy matter'.

[However] the Extreme Wind Dragon King is the Dragon King after all, and the most powerful and wisest existence in the Terra world, he quickly noticed several loopholes and unclear points in Ian's plan: [Civilization will always develop, and the number of humans in the future, the number of other fire lifeforms, will swell]

[Terra and Bimoon, probably able to carry one or two hundred billion intelligent life, if the earth's crust and mantle layer are developed, the mass of the planet is fully utilized, and the characteristics of the cradle are used to completely turn matter into a layered residential area, it will probably be able to settle more than one trillion intelligent life]

A vision emerges of all of Terra's material, stripped of all matter except for the gradually cooling core, and turned into a superimposed structure of ringed continents.

Each layer of the continent is a place of habitation similar to the earthly world, and the material of a spherical planet is peeled apart like an onion, and each layer is a continent, which can inhabit hundreds of billions of lives.

As soon as he opened his mouth, he dismantled the planet and completely used all material resources, and the Polar Wind Dragon King seemed to be a little unsatisfied: [But this is too little, and the material cycle is also a bit problematic]

"There's a perpetual motion machine, think about what to do with this."

Ian shook his head and said directly: "When the time comes, you can directly use the Thousand Star Beast to multiply the material and create more planetary continents." ”

"It's really not possible, make the entire cradle into a structure like a beehive, so that the number of intelligent life that can settle is absolutely too large to calculate."

[Indeed]

The Extreme Wind Dragon King nodded slightly, acknowledging the future potential of the Wandering Terra Path, but he quickly asked a second question: [But I still remember that Ian, your purpose is to go to the outside world and explore farther afield]

[If you go out in the cradle ark, you can indeed leave this great cradle...... But as a star god, you can't go out easily, and if you use the ether at will, it will be easy to lead to the end.]

How are you going to solve this problem? After all, if you can't leave the cradle, it's nothing more than going from a big cage to a smaller cage.]

"With instruments." Ian said of course: "I really couldn't go out as a star god at that time, but I can use a robot, move a telescope or something to go out to search for information, and then send it back." ”

[But] the Extreme Wind Dragon King was even more puzzled: [Is it different to use ether? 】

Ian was stunned for a moment, he thought about it carefully, and realized that the tech tree of Terra was really on the aether from beginning to end...... Even if it is the Silver Peak Domain, there is a part of the earth technology, but the energy system is all based on element crystallization and ether furnaces.

"That's a problem." He frowned, and then relaxed: "Hey, it's a big deal to charge with solar energy - plus we blow up the sun, there will be a lot of heavy elements, and when the time comes, collect a wave, and nuclear fusion and nuclear fission can be used." ”

"As long as the sun is blown up, the supernova explodes, and the heavy elements are synthesized, everything will be fine!"

- Can you be kind to the sun, that's the mother of civilization in Terra!

The Extreme Wind Dragon King stopped talking, but Ian smiled and said, "Don't worry, I know, there is a technology tree in this world that can do without aether. That's something I'm trying to solve. ”

"As long as the aether technology is high enough, it is not difficult to create aetherless technology in turn, in short, all this is the most important thing...... Actually, it was the first to go out. ”

With that, Ian and the Dragonlord of the Polar Wind entered a state of curvature and began to return towards Terra.

Ian sat on the dragonlord's left flank shoulder: "The material for the cradle, it's in the New Moon - I can't get close to the New Moon. ”

[Why?] The Polar Wind Dragon King asked, and Ian replied lightly, "Because I cheated with the aether left by the Heavenly Father—I can't get close to the aether related to the Heavenly Father right now, whether it's the Light Element Furnace or the inheritance on the New Moon, if I get closer, it's likely that those aethers will lose their activation, or lose the possibility of advancing to the sixth energy level for others." ”

"I can't be too selfish, can I? So if you want to collect the pure ether on the New Moon, you can't do it by me, and it's better not even by the strong. ”

"It should be up to the hands of our Terra people to build a tower that reaches to the sky, straight to the two moons."

The Dragon King nodded thoughtfully, he also remembered that in the southernmost part of the Grand Duchy of Southridge, in the jurisdiction of Port Harrison, there were two ruins of a pre-era civilization.

Since Ian and Marquis Grant worked together on all fronts, the two sides have carried out an all-round renovation of the Sequoia base, and the facility used to build the Terra Orbit base may now be half completed.

[You can also be guided by a strong person, right?] 】

The Polar Wind Dragon King raised his eyes and said, "Even if you have the corresponding orbital technology, you can build a space base in Terra's orbit, and use the low gravity of the space base to build various space ships and explore the ether resources on the New Moon...... Third, fourth-level powerhouses can still greatly accelerate this process]

【Our True Dragon can help you.】 Dragon Island is the largest space base in Terra's orbit, and we have a wealth of technical and data reserves for it.]

"Thank you. Of course, don't help too much. ”

Ian smiled slightly, waiting for the words of the Extreme Wind Dragon King, but after really waiting for the promise of the Extreme Wind Dragon King, he sighed a little: "Although it is true that the strong can lead the masses from top to bottom to do all kinds of great things, in fact, what I think is that these things can also be done without them." ”

"Extreme Wind Dragon King, do you know what humans lack the most?"

[The most lacking...... Strength? 】

The Polar Wind Dragon King guessed along Ian's train of thought, and Ian shook his head, "Strength is important, but if you have infinite power but no desire, then what's the use of having it?" ”

[So is it desire?] 】

"Desire is the driving force of human action, but in the final analysis, desire is also 'what you want to do', and after being satisfied, it disappears, and this kind of thing can only be 'the most important at the moment', not the most important."

What is that? 】

"It's the road. The dragon king is the road. ”

Ian looked at the Extreme Wind Dragon King, his expression even tinged with a hint of envy: "The true dragon was created, and it was born with a life of path. ”

"Dragon King, let me ask you, have you ever been confused?"

The Extreme Wind Dragon King thought about it and laughed: [It's true, my whole life has been dedicated to the beings of Terra, and I have always been guarding the seal and watching the cradle]

"yes. But people are different, people are born without a way, parents or others impose only people pain and confusion, human beings need to find their own way of life. ”

Ian nodded slightly, and he said softly: "If you can give a person a path, a path that makes him believe, this path is incomparably noble, incomparably great, can lead to the future, can lead to beauty, can lead to everything he wants - if he knows, there is such a way." ”

"There is such a way, as long as you go on, you can have the road you want."

"Such a path, he firmly believes is the 'right' path."

"Then mankind is a perfect race, capable of all miracles, overcoming all dangers, overcoming all great enemies, and creating all things."

"Dragon King."

Ian slowly stood up, his voice calmer than ever, yet heavier than ever, every word striking the strings of the ether, causing the universe to resound with sacred music: "I want [guidance]." ”

[What is the guide?] The Dragonlord asked in a low voice, he really felt the 'Creator' feeling from Ian at this moment.

A feeling that is both majestic and gentle, arrogant and full of love.

"To guide life to the [right] path." Ian smiled gently, "All I want to do is guide the humans of Terra to do something." ”

"This matter is about all mankind, so all of humanity should also contribute to this."

"A peaceful life is never taken for granted, this is the spoils I have captured for the Silver Peak Leader since I fought so far, and my people have received this spoil, and they should also be responsible."

"The vast majority of all the suffering in this world comes from the powerful beings, the rich beings, the powerful beings who are unwilling to take responsibility - the weak are not even qualified to be responsible."

"And I'm going to give them all the responsibility and the power."

"Then, make a road for them."

"The first thing to do is to build a 'material lifeline' from Terra to the New Moon, and to build a huge 'cradle production area' on the New Moon."

"It's not difficult, Dragon King, with the spread of the arcane path, in the past few years, almost all people who have the conditions to cultivate have approached the first energy level - this is an extremely huge force, and as the path I have drawn begins to officially start, they will grow rapidly."

"And walking on this road, they will encounter many technical problems, as long as these problems are solved, they will become stronger and better, and human society will also change because of the need to walk on this road, not just to exist, but to develop for a nobler purpose."

[It's difficult] the dragon king muttered, "This is not in line with human instinct, there is no benefit, will they really do it?" 】

"How come there is no interest?" Ian asked rhetorically: "The hegemony of space, the wealth of the stars, the ether in the moon and all kinds of sublimation materials - the fall of the Heavenly Father to Terra has created Terra's endless sublimation resources, which can supply dozens of fifth-level existences, and even if the moon is not as rich in resources as Terra, it has enough wealth to attract people." ”

"I will guide them, guide them."

Saying this, Ian said the second thing: "Next, I will guide those powerhouses of the fifth energy level. ”

"They have a lot of hard time to return, and even if they adopt my arcane path, they can't become perfect fifth-level beings, and it's difficult to become star gods—many of them can do it, and there are so few geniuses in Terra that they can't be wasted."

"I'm going to find a way for them all to survive, gradually become the perfect fifth level, and get rid of the 'only one I can!' dedication to the entire Terra civilization. ”

[It's difficult] The Extreme Wind Dragon King replied honestly: [The first one is okay, at least the Silver Peak Collar and the Empire will do what you say]

[And the second one is more difficult than defeating those fifth energy levels, and how are you going to change it?] Some of them are dying of old age.]

"Yes, it's hard, but I have to do it, and you'll know the specific means when the time comes."

Ian nodded slightly, "All in all, this is the second of the three things I'm going to do now." Powerful sublimators can certainly increase the speed of infrastructure construction, but it is best not to shoot at the fourth energy level, most of their technologies come from alien fires, and do not belong to the normal technical line. ”

"We must let humanity start from the basics and develop every chain of technology, instead of using these alien technologies to force the puzzle - in a short period of time, this can indeed develop civilization, but in a long time, it will lead to the deformity of the development of the Terra civilization."

"Can you imagine?" Ian even complained, "Among the sublimators, there is not even a universal trading currency like 'Silver Teller'!" Ever since I reached the third level, the trade of money has nothing to do with me, and I need to go on my own adventures, hunt on my own, or barter with people if I want to obtain any materials. ”

"This means that the society of the sublimators is in an extremely primitive state, and the human society that is attached to the sublimators will naturally become deformed like Terra."

"So."

He concluded: "We should try to fill the missing chain in the technological tree of our civilization and build a stable society of sublimators." ”

"With me, with the credit of the Silver Peak Leader, and some 'items' comparable to precious metals such as gold and silver as currency, let the resources of the sublimators circulate among themselves, and build a new society of sublimators based on the path of the arcane law."

"Next, after building a stable society of sublimators, we will build a series of space bases, as well as 'curvature accelerators'. Before I actually build the 'Terra Ark', I will first build a 'Cradle Moon' and send it outside the Great Cradle of the Terra System, through which I can collect information about the outside world. ”

"With this information, I can move on to the next step of my plan."

"Only in this way can we truly reverse all the deformed status quo of Terra, and can we put Terra on the right path."

The dragon king was thoughtful.

The Extreme Wind Dragon King didn't ask what the 'equivalent among the Ascendants' was, for he knew that if he returned to Terra, he would soon see the answer to that question.

So what's the third thing?] 】

He asked, "What is it that makes you only appear in this form?" 】

At this moment, Ian's body is about to gradually dissipate, which is because Ian has already had a will, and it is also because the body of ether really cannot survive for a long time without a material foundation.

"I'm going to go back."

And Ian, who slowly dissipated, said firmly: "I want to go back to the most primitive one, the high-heat universe where the star god exists, that [one of the Dao]. ”

"Only in that kind of universe can we find the most primitive power of this world."

"I call it 'spiritual power,' the power that makes the soul, the pure soul power."

"The ether, essentia and psionic energy, it's all about the soul and the will, that's the core."

"The soul and the will are the core of the ether."

"It's like a game full of DLC and private mods, if you want to ask if it's fun, maybe it's really fun to have DLC and mods, but it can only be used in one universe, but if you talk about the real foundation, only the game itself."

"I'm going to find it."

With that, Ian's aether dissipated completely.

The Dragon King stared at Ian's dissipating aether shards, staring for a moment, then laughing.

[Then I'm really looking forward to it]

Softly, he was turning his head and began to accelerate towards Terra.

He never doubted that Ian would succeed.

Because Ian never failed.

The other side of time and space.

Tara.

Fort Ridge.

Terra's Heart and Aina prepare to leave.

"Remember to keep it a secret."

Before leaving, Terra's heart was fair to Junling Castle, and the other party was stunned for a moment, and then reacted: [You mean, the end? 】

"yes, we can't let the news of the end — I mean the Great End outside of Terra's cradle — leak out."

[Why?] 】

Grand Duke of Junling Fort frowned: [This news...... Although I don't think I can tell the people of Terra that it will indeed fall into riots, at least the upper echelons of the countries should know about it.]

Although the upper echelons of the Terra countries are hostile to each other, there is no distinction between families and countries in terms of right and wrong—just as the Far Shore Island has always insisted on its duty to guard the mantle, even if it is fighting a national war with the mainland countries.

Although in the recent past, the Far Shore Island wants to go to the New World, but before leaving, they will also entrust the Far Shore Island to the countries of the Terra Continent, so as not to really leave it alone.

"It's not the right time."

Terra's heart calmed down, "If the leaders of the Terra kingdoms knew about the existence of the Great End, they would know that they would not be able to break through to the sixth energy level - at least not until the cradle was repaired. ”

"Then they lose hope."

"And if they don't know, they will choose the alliance in order to fight against their father, the half-step sixth energy level...... Of course, they may also throw themselves at us. ”

"Got it? Grand duke? ”

Terra's Heart smiled coldly, "When enemies come together, that's when they're most easily dealt with. ”

【……】

The Grand Duke of Steep Castle was silent for a while, and as the Heart of Terra was about to continue to turn his head away, he spoke, "Even if you defeat all the fifth energy levels in this world, you ...... No, Ian]

[Ian wouldn't have made this public, would he?] 】

"Of course."

Without hesitation, Terra's heart replied: "The truth of this world, there is no reason to give it to anyone for free, at least you have to prove that you have this qualification, just like if you want to learn advanced mathematics, you must first prove that you have learned elementary and intermediate mathematics." ”

"All information about the end is stored in the deepest part of the [Pioneer Space]."

"Only those who wish to explore, explore the world beyond the cradle, will have access to it—people can know that there is such a 'great treasure' in the deepest part of the pioneer space, and they can be guided to fight for that treasure, but we, especially my father, will not tell them the answer directly."

[Why?] 】

Because there are only answers...... Grand Duke, only the process is the real wealth. Just as if you want to get the truth, what really matters is to find out what the question is, not just an answer, like '42'. ”

Just like learning scriptures, the most important thing is not to get the scriptures, but all the tribulations experienced along the way, and the truth behind the calamities.

The Heart of Terra doesn't explain much to the Grand Duke, everything is Ian's plan and he will faithfully execute it, not explain it in his own way.

[But I have a question right now, and I just want to get the answer]

But the Grand Duke of Steep Castle whispered, "Terra's Heart, since Ian will let you come to see me, it means that he must have foreseen all my reactions]

[In that case, you must have brought that answer...... Tell me]

Raising his hand and pointing to his almost decaying body, the Grand Duke of Junling Fort said in a tone that was almost mournful: "What the hell am I ...... How to get rid of it?! 】

[I have been trapped in an endless cage for more than a hundred years, I can't leave the Apocalypse Armament, I can't leave my own body, I can't go further, I can only stand still, I can never move forward]

[The Heart of Terra, or Ian behind it!] Since you are willing to come over and recover the inheritance of the Terra Dragon from me, then you must have known about my situation and how to solve my problems! 】

[Process, I've gone through too much, now, I just want an answer!] 】

"You've still had too little experience."

TerraHeart's answer was cold and heartless, if it was Ian, even if the answer was the same, he could say that it was reassuring, but Terraheart's never that, he said directly: "Bocaon, what are you delusional?" Like my father, you're a cheater, and you can no longer rely on shortcuts to reach the Star God, and your price is to stay where you are forever and can't be freed. ”

"Unless......" his words paused.

【Unless!】 】

The Grand Duke of Junling Fort roared: "That's what I want! 】

How can I not know that my end is the result of my own choice? But I want to know this unless—tell me, I'm willing to do anything for this answer! 】

After confirming the Grand Duke's statement, Terra's Heart nodded, "Unless, you enter an environment where there is no 'Aether' at all. ”

The Grand Duke was stunned, and then he laughed angrily: [Doesn't that just want me to die? 】

[The current me is the result of the collection and equal division of all the chosen mes in the infinite parallel time and space, and without the ether, isn't the me of this infinite parallel time and space the ......]

"Isn't it all going to die, and then the remnants of the soul merge into one and become one real soul? If you die and die, you can be resurrected, and although this resurrected may not be the newborn 'you', it must be a 'Bocaon' Grand Duke. ”

Terra's Heart smiled coldly, "Don't you deserve to die?" Grand Duke of Steep Castle, remember, when you decide to smash your soul and exchange it with other infinite parallel time and space selves, you are already dead, your soul shattered, and completely destroyed! ”

"Now you are just an 'idiot' who is entrenched in the infinite parallel space-time tree, chaotic and stupid, who can only imitate all the reactions of 'Bocaon' before his death, without any wisdom and self!"

This is the real situation of the Grand Duke of Steep Ridge Fort today.

Bocaen Elster, who had already died in that year, had his soul shattered.

And his shattered soul, through the power of the Apocalypse Armament Dawn, penetrated through the endless parallel time and space, fusing into a circle of ignorance.

Without immortality, without the will to transcend one's own life, one cannot maintain oneself in infinity, and this is the case with Bocaen's soul, which, even though it becomes an infinite ring, has no intelligence, only the instinct of human beings, crawling like a worm on the timeline.

However, this worm has mastered the existence of the Infinity Ring, and it has an 'infinite number' of data related to Bocaon, so that the soul that manifests in the body of the Grand Duke of Junling Fort can be vivid, even more perfect than himself, and imitate all the actions of the Grand Duke of Bocaon.

Even an idiot among the star gods can still play a smart human.

Even if he has no self, he still has the ability to suppress the star god and surpass countless races.

Self-awareness is not a necessity for survival in the first place.

For humans, they can't tell what Bocaon is doing, but for Ian and Terra's Heart, one is a half-step star god, and the other is a similar 'artificial intelligence', how can they not see Bocaon's current situation?

The Grand Duke of Mt. Ridge was silent again, and this time, Terra's Heart did not leave, and he said in a natural tone, "I have told you the answer, then you must fulfill your promise." ”

"Bocaen Elster, I ask you to go to the New Moon when my father and I need it to assist the Dragonlords in creating the 'Cradle Wall'. Don't worry, you don't need to use your brain, what we need is just the special elements of your soul with the characteristics of infinite parallel time and space. ”

"Coupled with the fact that you only have the peak of the fourth energy level, and if you don't reach the fifth energy level, it will be safer, and the true ether on the new moon will not block you, it's perfect."

"Since you're trapped in the Apocalypse Force, let the Apocalypse Force act—when you've seen a future you've never imagined, my father might really free you."

【…… Death】

Terraheart's words can be called rude, speaking to a strong person with fifth-level combat power, it seems that he is not afraid of the other party's anger at all.

But in fact, the Grand Duke of Junling Fort really didn't have any anger, he just smiled bitterly in disappointment: "Yes, death...... I should have died a long time ago. But ......]

Slowly raising his head, he looked directly at the heart of Terra, and seemed to look directly at the figure behind the heart of Terra: [I still want to see the ending]

He said, "I'll go."

The man stared at Terra's Heart tightly, but called out Ian's name: "How many times have you died?" 】

"Hmm...... Although theoretically infinite, it is ...... to remove the meaningless repetition of those parallel time and space and count it as a meaningful change."

The white-haired figure thought for a moment, then said with a smile: "More than ninety thousand." ”

"I have killed myself 90,000 times, reincarnated 90,000 times, and now, I am finally about to usher in a not too perfect ending."

"Bocaen, your only fault is that you don't have a firm dream and immortality, if you have, then you can succeed."

"If you have immortality, you can understand...... The true essence of the so-called immortality is actually 'life after death'. ”

With that, he looked at Aina, who was deep in thought, and said, "Let's go, little Sun God Bird, I believe that you will definitely gain a lot this time." ”

"Huh?" And Aina, who had been beside him, trying to understand the communication between the Heart of Terra and the Grand Duke of Steep Castle, only reacted at this moment, he looked at the white-haired young man in front of him, and for a while he didn't know how to speak: "You are ......"

"I'm the Heart of Terra now." Cold words rang out, and Terra's heart calmed down, "Aina Seltar, it's time for you to prepare to return to the Empire now. ”

"The Eastern and Western Empires are about to merge, and your father is about to go to Dragon Island to practice, and an heir is needed to restore the unified empire."

"What?!" Hearing the news, Aina was almost so frightened that she jumped three feet high: "How come?!" My aunt ...... Where did she go?! ”

"And why am I the heir? I don't do it! Isn't there still Isengard? Let him be emperor! ”

Aina's reaction was very violent, as if the position of Emperor of the Sertar Empire was a stinking shit, rotten toilet, and whoever sat on it was stupid - but if you think about it, it's actually true, for the Sun God Bird, being an emperor is indeed a somewhat mentally unhealthy choice.

For example, the eldest son of the emperor who is suddenly about to become the heir to the imperial throne - he has not been a ranger enough, and he does not want to return to the court at all!

"His Majesty Allegria has left Terra for the Comet Nebula, and Isengard does not want to be emperor at all, he clearly rejected his father's proposal, and said that he would stay in the Silver Peak for the rest of his life."

Terra's Heart said briefly, "After a while—maybe." I can't predict people's hearts. However, after a while, it is likely that your uncle Mikael will return. (Aina looks very confused at this point, as Mikael is already dead in the public opinion)

"At that time, he may come to be this emperor."

-, uncle, he would rather find his grandfather to blow up in order not to be the emperor, even if he returns from the underworld, he will not be this emperor!

Aina thought indignantly, he had foreseen that if Mikael did come back, his second uncle would absolutely—absolutely—throw the stall to him, and then disappear by himself!

Why was he so sure? Because Aina thinks so too, and even now he does it!

【…… This group of people from the Sethar family is so reluctant to be emperor? 】

Not far away, the Grand Duke of Junling Castle, who was still thinking about his future, looked at this scene and was speechless: [Then why did they fight for the throne so fiercely in the first place? 】

This was a misunderstanding by the Grand Duke of Junling Fort. The reason why the Setar family in the past made so much trouble for the throne was mainly because they had a fifth-level sun god bird on their heads.

The previous generation of emperors is still there, they can't be free, and they will be controlled wherever they go. So in order to get the blood of the fifth energy level and get 'complete freedom', they will naturally compete for the throne and even want to assassinate their father.

However, the situation is not the same now - although I don't know why, the two emperors of the East and West, one ran away to the Comet Cloud Region, and the other was going to Dragon Island for retreat, and all the sun god birds were suddenly left unattended.

No one cares, so why do you want to be an emperor and take such a big country to find fault for yourself?

Axel may be this kind of neurosis, but he needs the empire to provide him with materials and data for various experiments, and he needs the empire to provide him with resources!

And Aina and Mikael are both characters who don't have much desire, at most they just want to do something good and good, so naturally they don't feel comfortable sitting in that position.

As for Isengard......

He's already managing Silverpeak and Flying Flame Land with Scott, and it's one thing to help Ian steward, and it's another to run away to be the Emperor.

If it weren't for the fact that he felt that it was too embarrassing to say it, and there was the Grand Duke of Junling Fort watching him, Aina almost wanted to say, 'I don't think you and Ian mind too much about taking care of things, or you can take care of the empire, it doesn't seem to be a shame for the Grand Duke of Nanling to be the regent'.

"Anyway, get ready."

Terra's heart naturally didn't know that Aina had such a fierce psychological struggle, he was only responsible for issuing notices, and his body gradually shrank, wanting to return to his original silver metal ingot: "The empire can't be left without an owner for a day, Aina." ”

"It's time for you to learn to be responsible."

After some time, both TerraHeart and Aina left.

Only the Grand Duke of Junling Fort remained in place.

He was silent for a long time, then suddenly laughed.

[In this boring world, there is at least one existence beyond my imagination of all parallel time and space]

He laughed, and then, a swift thunderbolt rushed back down the chain and dived into the depths of the earth: "Yes, since I am already dead, why should I be afraid to die again? 】

[Only before that, I need to see the birth of a new world]

[I...... Bocaen Elster's second death is to be buried in the old world! 】

Rumble...... Bang!

The blue-blue thunder light poured into the depths of the earth, into the core of the land of the Steep Ridge Fort.

Then, a violent earthquake began to shake violently around the castle.

At this moment, Aina, who had not gone far, suddenly looked back.

Then he saw it.

He saw the earth crack and crack, the mountains crumbling and crumbling, and the outer layer of the castle, which seemed to be ancient, made of bricks and stones, was completely reduced to ruins in a violent shock, revealing its true form.

Is that...... A cyan orb forged of steel.

A jewel set in the chest of some kind of behemoth!

Rumble! Bang!

A hand, a silver-white steel giant hand was exposed from the crumbling mountain peaks on the side, and the blue-blue thunder flowed with endless holy brilliance, and a huge and incomparably large human will awoke from the depths of the earth and opened its eyes.

When the earthquake trembled and everything shook, the mountain giants with silver, black and red bodies rose up from the mountains.

It has four arms, of which the two arms on the shoulder are more like some kind of flexible equipment, some kind of strange weapon condensation port, and in the center of its chest, there is a cyan orb shining, and behind this orb is the body of the 'Castle of the Castle', and its inner side is the 'cockpit' where the Grand Duke of the Castle of the Castle is located.

It carries the authority of the entire Ridge Fortress, and is the true soul and true master of this land.

It is the Apocalypse Armament Dawn.

A mountain machine, a man-made god of fire, a part of the body of the Dragon's plan for Terra, and the most powerful man-made weapon in the entire Cradle of Terra!

"That's what it is...... Apocalypse armament? ”

Aina stared at the behemoth as he muttered, "I've seen the picture, but ...... Nobody told me it was so big......"

Endless streams of aetheric light swirled around the Apocalypse Armament, and blue-blue thunder turned into streaks that glittered the inner layers of its armor.

Not only that, but this thunder also penetrated the earth and spread to the entire territory of Junling Castle.

Aina watched this scene, and his eyes suddenly widened.

For he saw it.

He saw that countless souls were gathering from every city in the territory of the Ridge Castle along this thunder.

He saw that both the earth and the sky were filled with pungent thunder currents, and these currents were not some kind of attack, but a signal.

Thousands, countless signals of 'Junlingbao people'!

[Gone, gone]

[The Grand Duke is calling us, the dawn is calling us!] 】

[Let's go, we can finally fully integrate into the dawn...... Harness some of its parts]

[Let's go, we can finally leave this land]

A will.

Countless souls.

In the crumbling house on the side, a steel machine was revealed, and in this machine was the corpse of a human who had been emaciated to the extreme, and now dead.

At this moment, Aina finally understood where everyone in the entire Ridge Castle had gone.

"Soul upload, machine ascension ......"

The Sun God Bird muttered, staring at the Apocalypse Armed as they gradually stood up, "This guy Bocaon has turned everyone in the Steep Ridge Fortress into the Apocalypse Armed Pilot!" ”

"Yes, this is the best way to ensure the safety of the people, and this is the path that all citizens are most willing to choose - to become the most powerful creation on Terra, part of the most powerful fifth energy level!"

[There are tens of millions of weapon systems in the Apocalypse Armament that need to be controlled individually, and all of them can be united under the control of the True Aether Furnace]

And the Apocalypse Armed stood up, its shoulders and the northern jet mouth gradually lit up with a faint blue glow: [It is impossible to defeat the empire and defeat the enemy by industrialization, even if the average life expectancy of the people is less than forty years old, it cannot do this]

[In this case, there is no need to fight anymore, we will definitely not fight the war that will be lost]

[Mechanical Ascension, Only Apocalypse]

[Ian Silverpeak, I promised you the condition - to go to the New Moon?] I'll go now! 】

Ignoring any will to look at it with a stunned perspective, the huge steel giant kicked in directly, and then turned into a straight stream of light, straight above the sky, leaving a curved arc in the sky, and after adjusting the angle, it went straight towards its destination, the Terra New Moon!

[Ian Silverpeak again?! 】

What did he do? Why would Bocaon, who smells worse and harder than the stones in the pit, be convinced by him?! 】

【Apocalypse Armament...... The key hand that was enough to destroy Terra is now out of Terra......]

[Ian Silverpeak, what exactly does he want to do when he cuts down the dangerous elements on Terra step by step?] 】

No one can give an answer.

No one knows exactly what Ian Silverpeak wants to do.

No...... If it were his partner, he might know the answer.

But then, a series of things happened on the Terra continent, which once again shocked many fifth-level powerhouses.

The Emperor of the Eastern Empire, Carlos Sertar, because he accepted the inheritance of the Heavenly Law Dragon, one of the five ancestors of the True Dragon, chose to go to Dragon Island to sit in the town in order to strengthen the seal of Dragon Island, and became a dragon king who was not a dragon.

Emperor of the Western Empire, Alegria Sattar disappeared inexplicably. Who can guess where a sun god bird has gone? Her disappearance suddenly made all the fifth-level powerhouses nervous, and they were afraid that they would be stolen by the other party.

At this point, the empire has temporarily lost two fifth-level energy levels that can shoot at the first time.

But that's not a problem, because there are still two more in the Empire - including the Grand Duke of Nanling and the four of them including the recently inexplicably returned Grand Duke of Thorin - the fifth power level.

There is no need to worry about the safety of the empire, but the undercurrent that causes these fifth-level powerhouses to act like this is what everyone cares about the most.

And, that's not all.

While most of the people's attention was focused on the sudden departure of Terra's Ridge Fortress and the loss of the empire of the two Sun God Birds, in the southwest of Terra, the Silver Peak Territory, which seemed to be the source of everything, quietly launched a big move that was enough to affect the entire world, a creation that was enough to change the world.

It's called the 'Sublimator Monetary System'.

And that creation, called [Spirit Crystal], can also be called [Spirit Stone] [Magic Crystal].

When Yinfeng Ling announced the news, most people didn't understand what the meaning of all this was.

After all, the 'sublimator monetary system' is a big thing to say, but in reality, what can compare to bartering?

Each sublimator needs different materials, and even the nutrients they need are different, the Swift Wind Mantis and the Boulder Island Whale need different materials, the food they eat is different, the ingredients of the alchemy supplement are also different, and they don't even live in the same place.

There is no 'commonality' between them, no wealth that they can exchange, and the two parties can only reach contact through multiple exchanges through intermediaries.

This is the trouble caused by the fall of the Thousand Stars into Terra: the brutal fusion of many different biospheres has led to the extinction of many creatures without their original food, or the consumption of other biosphere creatures has caused mutations and lost their original efficacy.

It is because of this reason that many civilizations and ecosystems have lost their sources of key technologies and key evolutionary nutrients, and have become low-level Warcraft, while those more complete Warcrafts have the fourth and fifth energy levels, which is far from other Warcraft.

The meaning of all this is simple: there is no 'common currency' that can be used for trading among sublimators, not even the crystallization of elements, because not every sublimator needs to be armed with ether.

However, when all the forces learned the true nature of the 'Spirit Crystal', they were all stunned.

Because it's not really a 'material pose'.

That's a kind of 'physical computing power'!

With pure essentia crystals as the carrier, the unique patterns engraved can be directly linked to a supercomputing core in the virtual realm, and then obtain the 'computing power support' in this computing core!

With the spirit crystal of the corresponding value, you can use it to obtain the computational power of the corresponding value from the virtual realm, and it itself is also a pure essentia aggregate, and any creature can get a certain amount of essentia replenishment if you take it.

If it were those low-level cultivators of the arcane path who had a piece of spirit crystal, the computing power obtained could instantly accelerate him for a lot of time and condense more sublimation structures - and the pure essentia he obtained could be used to strengthen the body or condense the sublimation structure, in general, it would definitely not be wasted, and it was extremely valuable!

Not only that, but those high-level spirit crystals are said to be able to connect to the 'database' of the supercomputing core in the Void Realm, and get the 'experience of the predecessors' from it, and then get all kinds of insights!

This state of perception is called 'Truth Resonance' by the people of Yinfeng Ling, and it can also be called 'enlightenment'.

This is the true effect of the spirit crystal!
