above the sky

Chapter 1028 The road to the stars at the end of the book

In the center of the pitch-black subspace network road that criss-crosses the sky, a bright light suddenly shines on the top of the pitch-black pyramid, and pure white starlight shines directly from the tip of the pitch-black pyramid, penetrating the sky.

In the eyes of all Terrans, 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 center line of everyone's field of vision, tearing open a straight line. Round cave.

One is white, the other contains infinite energy, it seems that it will erupt in the next moment, the eruption...

white hole.

Like a giant god opening his eyes, the white abyss that traverses the sky and the earth shines in the sky with a brilliance that amazes everyone, surpassing the sun and even the Calamity of Light.

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

In Ganterigum, the Heaven-seeking Sanctuary, a dwarf with a skin as gray as iron and a jeweled sacred pattern on his forehead stared at the light above the sky.

In his heart, a shining and solid heart of the earth shone with the brilliance of billions of facets.

One thousand and six hundred years ago, the ancestors of the five dwarves built the original shelter in the middle of the Ushtalaf Mountains.

【We must not let Avogarod's deep space shuttle have any accidents. My compatriots, we swear by our lives that we will stay here forever until Terra returns to peace in the future, until human beings set foot on our Heaven-seeking Saint again. road】

[This is one of our hopes for reaching the other side of the stars in the future. Even if we are doomed to sleep peacefully in the cradle in the future, we must not give up on the road to the distant place before the last moment comes! 】

810 Two years ago, a king held up his warhammer, drawing billions of brilliance and billions of black abysses on the top of the mountain.

[So why on earth are we Gantrygum asking for the sky?We sons of the earth walked out of the deep abyss, and the sky and the world are just another layer of caves to be dug for us. Since we can break through the blockade of the earth, we must also be able to break through the collapse of the sky! 】

【go ahead!Don't stop moving forward!Because we are the ones who penetrate the dome, the ones who are destined to go to the end of the top! 】

Thousands of years have passed since the teachings of ancient sages and sage kings. The children of the earth are trapped by the terrain and powerful enemies, and the internal development of the Republic is not satisfactory. Over the years, not only has there been no progress in the research on deep space shuttles, but even The country itself is in a precarious position.

Lack, lack of resources, lack of hope, lack of viable vision, lack of fuel for all dreams.

[Hammer of Creation] [Soul Abyss Forger], Panluo Jianshield recalled these times integrated in his heart, he would occasionally feel ashamed because of the nobility of the past and the carelessness of the present, but the heart of the rock made him never To be shaken is to grit your teeth and walk in the world without stopping.

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

But now, watching the radiant brilliance, the hard heart of the Lord of the Shield began to beat again.

Like a sledgehammer beating a war drum, beating with 'dreams that can be achieved'.

In Yanjiang, the place of ultimate silence, at the top of the Heavenly Tower, a man with well-developed muscles and a sad expression clasped his hands behind his back, staring at the white abyss in front of him, like the abyss of light in the eyes of a giant god.

【Living in this world, there are many sufferings. You are all willing to follow me to this bitter, cold and desolate place. How can I just sit back and watch you return home dejectedly?Come, follow me to settle in this land of mountains, one day, the mountains here will be emptied by us, and at that time, the paradise forged by our own hands will be born]

It was the voice of the lost era. The nameless ascetic came to the barren land of cold mountains. He promised a happy future to the people who followed him. He would open up the frontiers of mankind and light up the stars in the abyss. It is the origin of the names of Yanjiang and Juyue Yuanxing.

However, thousands of years later, after the sea was filled and the mountains turned into plains, after accomplishing such a great deed, people still lived in natural disasters and curses.This may be people's self-inflicted, but it is definitely also caused by the ruthlessness of nature.

All because of lack of resources, all because of inability.

But what if there is unlimited energy and unlimited power?

The man clenched his fists, his eyes were not burning, but there was a kind of cold determination.

Canaan Moore, Flying Flame Land, Heavenly Royal Court, Nine Cold and Silent Mountain...

Countless people raised their heads and stared at Gao Tian.

The desires in the hearts of countless people are vibrating and bursting, because of the quiet glimpse of the corner of the great ether circulation above the sky, trembling involuntarily.

This is the sound of the ancient tide, the power of [Perpetual Motion-Boundless Tide].

[This, the energy in this? ! 】

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

[It feels like, the great etheric ocean has materialized in front of me... This is a port, an insignificant port, but it has endless power? ! 】

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

Everyone who could understand this light felt extremely shocked, even Ian himself.

However, as someone who has actually seen the Great Ether Circulation through the Guiding Star, he was more surprised than shocked.

"So that's it. Sure enough, the perpetual motion machine itself is an authority interface for the Great Ether Gyre - the sound of the ancient tide is its calling foundation!"

"In this way, the perpetual motion analysis of the fairness of this vote can also be explained! Because it is a tool of the Star God, with intelligence but no self, just like the psionic energy of the Great Ether Gyre and the Forerunner response mechanism, it can Solve all the questions that intelligent life can answer!"

Dazed in his heart, Ian settled down, turned his head, and looked at the dazzling brilliance that hadn't erupted.

【Boundless Tide】

He asked loudly, all people in the world, no matter how strong or weak, no matter how old or young, no matter human beings or monsters, all life has heard the prophet's inquiry: [Are the current human beings still eligible to vote for the perpetual motion machine? 】

There is no delay.

The white eyes above the sky flashed, and then, endless starlight fell down to the world, pointing at the forehead of every intelligent life, penetrating the sky and flowing clouds, passing through 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 sound of soul that can only be described as "calm", resounding through the hearts and souls of all living beings.

[Terra star field, the main settlement, Terra planet judgment... meets the strict voting rights mentality ratio, 4%, you can vote immediately]

[Slightly disturbing the mind, 83.55%, has been cured, and can vote after two years]

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

[Absolutely abnormal mind, 3.451%, recovering, can vote after 140 five years.Immediate medical treatment is recommended]

[Extremely distorted mind, 1.905%...]

【Impersonal...】

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

This is the perpetual motion machine.It has intelligence but no ego, can judge right from wrong, and is an absolutely fair star god prop.

At this moment, Ian can completely understand what a perpetual motion machine is - it is the port of the Great Ether Circulation, and this process is the same as the Forerunner's memory when the other party received the gift of the Star God!The Great Ether Circulation will grant the gift of the Star God to the pioneer according to the conditions, and will naturally judge whether it is possible according to the conditions of the world and whether the other party can obtain and use the perpetual motion machine.

And now, the main event is coming.

【So】

Under the watchful eyes of all the powerhouses, Ian, who summoned the ancient tide, continued: [How can I activate you—start this perpetual motion machine for our civilization? 】

[In addition to the corresponding authority, that is, the authority of Terra, the authority of the real dragon and the authority of the creator, a referendum is required]

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

Regarding Ian's question, Endless Tide answered in great detail: [The number of people counted by the referendum standard needs to exceed the awareness of intelligent life on the planet and the participation rate of 80.00% and above, but there are not so many minds in the Terra star field with complete self-awareness]

[Theoretically, the Terra Planet and Terra Civilization should be disqualified from voting to start the perpetual motion machine. However, given that this brainwashing has not been completed, and the injured people have no serious sequelae, the purity of the voting population can be guaranteed, so it can be Conclusion: After two to 11 years, when more than 80.00% of Terra's wisdom mind returns to normal, the perpetual motion machine can start voting]

【thank you very much】

Ian nodded with a smile, and then asked: [So, what does the broad vote mean? 】

[All standard intelligent life on this planet has one vote, which can determine a 'starter', giving it the ability to control perpetual motion machines]

The reply of the perpetual motion machine is simple and clear, but it shocked and incredible to all the strong people who are listening: [The voting rules are based on the civilized form of Terra civilization - the elite-led political system dominated by powerful individuals, each region There will be one candidate as the seed player to participate in the voting]

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

【thanks】

Having said that, Ian has already smiled. He turned his head, looked at the earth, and repeated: [The activation of the perpetual motion machine requires corresponding authority, free mind, and the vote of the whole people]

[Ordinary people who have been brainwashed cannot act as voting individuals.Only when more than 80.00% of the participants are normal can the voting for the perpetual motion machine start be started]

[They cannot be brainwashed slaves, nor can they be charmed lunatics, you have to let everyone support you from the bottom of their hearts, instead of daring to speak out—as long as there is a place in this world that allows People yearn for it, and they will support the strong in the distance instead of you who are in charge now]

[And at that time, the people who voted will give power to the person who respects them the most, and then destroy all crazy scum! 】

【have you understood?All the 'strong men'?Beings stronger than you have formulated a simple and unadorned rule—as long as you still want the incredible power enough to realize your infinite dreams, your madness must be limited! 】

This is what Ian really wants.

The reason for expending strength, exposing one's hole cards, and calling the perpetual motion machine to appear is to tell everyone in Terra.

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

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

——The perpetual motion machine can only be activated when there are conditions, not a simple treasure that can be used when it is obtained.

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

Taking a deep breath, Ian looked at the ground, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised.

—Want a perpetual motion machine?Let's build a world where all people have dignity and have a future and aspirations!I put all my infinite power there!
No one doubts the authenticity of the words of Ian and the perpetual machine.

This is not something that can be lied to, and the power contained in the perpetual motion machine is definitely not something that can be faked. Its reality is even better than the world itself. Even if they themselves are not true, the perpetual motion machine cannot be fake.

Therefore, a 'constraint' that is difficult for all strong people to accept, just like this clearly appeared in front of all strong people.

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

Whoever makes the people live happily will be able to control the perpetual motion machine!
So mechanical!unacceptable!
Indeed, some strong people think this way. They have tried their best to let their country dominate, or to gain more right to speak on the Terra continent, but until now, someone told them, All their previous efforts were in vain, but the most meaningful thing is to treat the people of their own country well and let them support themselves?
Not only that, he also has to let people in other countries know this, and then yearn for life in his own country?
It's too much, isn't this turning into a strong man to serve ordinary people, to flatter them!

But there are also some smarter and stronger 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 civilization that tolerates absolute dictatorship, monarchy, oligarchy, Gestalt consciousness, giant corporate system and even a hive of differentiation. A strong inclusive civilization of all extreme civilization forms.

To put it simply, the Star God, as a transcendent species, does not have the political standpoint of human cognition at all—this thing is too insignificant, and it cannot describe the eventuality of the Star God's will at all.

He clearly knows that today's Terra is a purely powerful elite politics-the logic inside the perpetual motion machine does not exclude this point, so even if it is a referendum, it does not mean that anyone is eligible to be a candidate to be accepted People vote, but they are strong enough to become the actual controller of a certain place and become a candidate before they can participate in this voting competition.

So how do you become the actual controller?
Perpetual motion machines give no limits.Even if you led the army to defeat the free people in a certain place, and then gradually gained people's recognition with your good governance.

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

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

Instead, it's a war.

The card of war, the foundation of war, is 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 well-being.

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

He put a huge stake in the value of all lives, but did not change the rules of the game.

——Human life is a more precious resource than you think, don't waste it at will.

Other than this, what they need to do is no different from the past.

Both the Star God and the perpetual motion machine are merciful, but they are also ruthless. If human beings choose the path of extinction and choose to kill their own compatriots, even the gods will remain silent, and at most they will sigh.

But also because of this.

There are also strong men who go crazy and lose their minds because of the 'too harsh conditions'.

[Damn humans! 】

A dark stream of light suddenly exploded from the dark mountain range, and a sharp claw cut through the light in the sky. With the most decisive killing intent, it hit Ian directly in the middle of the sky, under the perpetual motion machine.

This raid did not surprise Ian. The prophet, who had foreseen this for a long time, looked in the direction of the attacker, and softly reprimanded: [Void behemoth, prison breaker, master of the dark mountains... yes, you are a loner , the fifth energy level without any supporters, it’s no wonder that he lost his composure]

The attacker is one of the three Titan monsters and abyssal aliens who walk alone in the Dark Mountains without any affiliation. A pure monster with a body.

The life form of the Shadow Nightmare King is very different from that of most creatures in this world. It lives in the dim nebula where dark matter gathers, and uses the broken time and space as its home. From a long time ago, the Shadow Nightmare King has been entrenched in the northwest of Terra. Living a lonely wandering life in the dark mountains.

He doesn't have many of his own kind, and he hasn't established his own animal kingdom. He doesn't even have much mentality and ability to cooperate in groups, because his essence is a kind of super life form entrenched in a certain star field, a lone behemoth.

In the past, as the fifth energy level, he could win the respect of all the kingdoms no matter what, and he was their competitor and partner. The fear and bowing of mortals was his only pleasure—but now, Ian and Yong The emergence of motives blatantly deprived him of his superiority.

Without any subjects, he will have no place in the future world—except for the identity of the fifth energy level itself, his value has fallen below the bottom, and no other fifth energy level will even consider forming an alliance with him, because The King of Nightmare's notoriety has been spread for a long time, unless he continues to be kind to people 100 years from now, otherwise, he will quickly become the most unpopular and contemptuous powerhouse in the future world, and no one will communicate with him harmoniously.

This kind of blow to self-esteem far outweighed the actual damage - so he was really angry and shot at Ian in anger!
For a moment, the deep sharp claws cut through time and space, and the dark shadow eroded everything around it, condensing an array of broken inscriptions. The seemingly ordinary sharp claws also changed violently at the same time, condensing into an illusory shadow battleship. Phantom Army.

Shadowmare devours the souls and memories of all living beings. Those alien civilization fleets that once invaded their hometown have become part of them after being swallowed by them. A dark cloud covering the sky and the sun, among which countless spaceship behemoths, the defeated subordinates of Shadow Nightmare emerged, attacking Ian.

These shadow forces contain wonderful laws. Ian can see that its external shape is meaningless at all. Whether it is a spaceship or a giant beast, a human soldier or a meteorite, the image it transforms just represents a kind of momentum , the most important thing about it is the ability to bear and transform contained in it.

To put it simply, it looks menacing, like a sharp blade trying to cut everything into pieces, but it is actually a force for defense and counterattack. If someone is frightened by this momentum and fights with all their strength, they will be overwhelmed by the shadow power that has been prepared for a long time. Swallow it, then coerce it, and turn it into a more powerful force to bombard it back, catching people off guard!
But it's a pity that this kind of little trick can fool anyone, but it can't fool the Prophet.

And Ian's attack is definitely not something he can absorb and transform.

Under everyone's gaze, Ian raised his sword.

Raised the 'Falling Sun's Edge',
The pitch-black etheric black field spins rapidly, glaring rays of light spurt out, turning into endless sword light. For a moment, time and space are distorted. Nothing can be seen anymore, too strong gravity distorts the horizon, and all light, all images will converge in it.

Even light can bend—

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 startled. Blood... They originally thought that Mikhail used the power of the ancient true dragon to die with Axel, and Ian was just assisting on the side, but now it seems... the opponent's immovable fortified city, is it close? The first knight of the year...

There is no time to continue to think about it.

The King of Nightmare suddenly felt that his power had lost contact with him—but at this moment, he had just seen Ian raise his sword.

Raising his head, the beast of void and death saw inconceivably that the dimensional blade that sundered time and space was coming straight towards him and struck on it. Until now, his observation organs and ether perception organs have been delayed. Tell him that Ian Silverpeak has just slashed—

But he has already been beheaded.

The light seen was slower than the actual sword. The light carried the movement of the other party and had just set off, and transcended time and space.

Even the perception can't be perceived, the speed of the slash is faster than the thought - how could the shadow be able to reverse the deflection of this slashing blow?

Click!In the dark mountain range, there was a shrill howl, covering the cloudy and mysterious territory in the southwest of the mountain range, and the monstrous black blood splashed up, setting off waves between the heaven and the earth.

And behind the King of Nightmare, there was a crack in the mountains, rivers and hills, and the forest basin behind the King of Nightmare, and the crack continued to extend and split toward the two sides, dividing the entire land into two.

The Rift was born.

[When it comes to strength, you are at most equal to me, but this clumsy technique, not wanting to burst out with all your strength in the first place is just a tentative thought, and you are destined to become farther and farther away from me, and eventually become my stepping stone completely]

Slowly sheathing his sword, Ian didn't even pay the Shadow Nightmare King a second's attention. He turned his head and looked at the vast land of Terra and the living beings above it again.

He could feel that after demonstrating his own strength, all the sentient beings on Terra who were still hesitating, still doubting, and still hesitating, for the first time had a kind of fanaticism, a kind of trust, a kind of yearning and desire for no reason. worship.

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

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

——This is a civilization that has experienced natural disasters and alien god attacks for 600 years. Everyone must equally bear the crisis of sudden death. In such a world, we should yearn for the strong, respect the strong, and respect all capable people. the people who guard them.

As one would look up to any leader who would bring them a life of safety, days of peace and happiness, food and clothing, what is there to lose?
Because he has his invincible power and can answer everyone's wishes!
【Everyone】

Therefore, Ian Yinfeng, the Prophet of White known to all Terrans, opened his arms towards the earth: [As long as someone is willing to believe, I will protect him]

[I long for the power of perpetual motion machines to achieve my dream——I want to create a new world where everyone can have power and can resist all accidents and disasters in life. The prototype of the new world I want to create]

【I don't allow anyone in this world to hurt other people for no reason, because all of you will be part 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 Yinfeng, I will prove during this period that what I said and said is by no means empty words, but something that will and will inevitably happen in the future! 】

【This is the prophecy of the prophet! 】

--what?

——Why is this person so shameless, he is canvassing votes now! ?
For a moment, many strong men who were still shocked by the power of the falling sun's front had not had time to think about how to break this super-light sword, and saw this shameless young man taking advantage of this golden opportunity to solicit votes from all the people of Terra!
But, it is what it is!
When the perpetual motion machine was announced, the war, the war of the new era, the war of Terra in the post-sun war era, had already begun!

The brand-new order, brand-new law and brand-new war mode of this world have begun to be fulfilled from now on!
[Let everyone witness! 】

Whether it is a king or a poor person, whether it is a hawker carrying melons and fruits along the street, or a giant businessman sitting in a magnificent guild to negotiate an agreement, whether it is a marshal of a fleet or a sailor on a fishing boat, in this new era , all just one vote.

[Let all life witness! 】

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

[Let all minds witness this war! 】

The people never care whether the powerful man above them is an emperor or a king, a governor or a speaker.As long as he can bring dignity, food, victory and joy, a happy, healthy, peaceful and stable life, then he is the god of the people.

In Terra, the powerhouses of the fifth energy level need to resist natural disasters, geological changes and the invasion of other powerhouses and monsters. Without them, human beings are not worthy of enjoying peace since the Lost Era. No matter how crazy they are, they are driven crazy by their own power, and they go to the road of madness, people still respect them, just like a bruised child who has been ravaged by the world, they will still respect their madness, but they will still shield themselves from the wind and rain, and endure The elder and guardian of all harm.

The people don't even mind that the fifth energy 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 resist, then the people will praise this powerhouse. Act of righteousness, praise him as a hero.

Even if the strong man of the fifth energy level is ruthless and rude, and regards them as gray animals and the fuel of his dreams, as long as he can bring down rain in a year of severe drought and disaster, smash typhoons when wind disasters come, If Blizzard is expelled in times of disaster, then people will praise his deeds and worship that stalwart figure.

If this fifth level powerhouse can think more, try to make everyone eat more meat, educate more knowledge, make everyone rich and not be disturbed by life, then even this fifth level If the power level powerhouse doesn't say a word, there will be sects named after him spreading across the land.

You only need to do these things, you only need to do things that are not difficult for the powerhouse of the fifth energy level, so that people can remember Inaiga II, even if there is a whole world to belittle and reprimand, there are still many people Remember that he is good beyond his mistakes, and correct beyond his mistakes.

The sentient beings in the world of Terra have no more requirements, they just need a safe home, a future without worries, enough food and warm clothes.

As long as this is achieved, it doesn't matter whether it is an emperor or a god.

So, is that enough?

Ian thinks it can be better—for example, dignity, education, self-aspiration, dreams and future.

This is war.

A war between the new world and the old world.

A battle of desires and dreams.

once……

The war to end all wars.

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

Anyone can compete, and anyone can vote.

The future will decide who will win.

Above the sky, the light of the perpetual motion machine is gradually dimming—the endless tide that was called knows that it is not the time to start it, so it retracts its gaze and returns to the endless abyss of ether.

wait.wait.

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

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

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

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

And at the moment when the Baizhiyuan Cave on the sky disappeared.

There were disturbing voices.

--so what?prophet?
—Can you tell us about your dream?What do you want to do after you get the perpetual motion machine?
——The new world is too wide and too vast for us to understand.

Ian heard these voices, heard these doubts and a secret desire and yearning.

It is because they want to convince themselves that they believe in their heavenly selves that there are inquiries and doubts.

In this regard, Ian was slightly taken aback, and then smiled happily.

【My wish, you can't understand it for the time being, maybe everyone in this world can't understand it】

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

【I will let them know the history, present and future】

【And have a dream】

【Only in this way】

Saying so, with his back against the dark sun, the Prophet closed his eyes: [Only you can understand, only then can you know...]

【Why do I want to go to...】

【Above the sky】

【The Road to the Stars】
