Chapter 698 The ancestor of the true dragon, the body of the tinder! (7000)

This is a dense asteroid belt. A large number of star fragments are scattered in the same orbit at a regular speed. They have become smaller and smaller in the explosions and collisions of previous years, but some large fragments are still deliberately preserved. As a place of placement for some facilities.

'Sleeping Dragon's Nest' is one of them.

It is a true spherical ecological base, which is inlaid on a star fragment as a whole. The hemispherical shape at the top protrudes from the rock mass structure. The transparent observation window can see the dark outer space of the universe, as well as the faint Incomparable sun brilliance.

The baby dragon is here.

He stared blankly at the depths of the universe—in the depths of the asteroid belt, there are many similar buildings and bases, which stand quietly on the remains of broken stars, but what the young dragon is most concerned about is not the These are buildings that stay put.

It's the behemoths that swim among the stars.

Ian, who was immersed in the memory of the steel dragon, was slightly taken aback. He was recalling the star map of the Terra star field in his own memory just now, and he was still thinking about where there is an asteroid belt in the Terra star field. He did not remember it. , but the distance from the sun and the surrounding stars told him that his location was the orbit of the Nemes star.

Then, these asteroids where I am... these star fragments...

Is it the wreckage of Nemes? !

And the real dragon actually has an outer space test site in this place? !
Before Ian felt that the secret behind the real dragon was astonishingly large, and the idea of ​​'could it be that the star of Nemes was broken' appeared in his heart, which made him somewhat unbelievable.

The young dragon in memory saw a huge monster emerging from the darkness.

It was a real dragon.

But it doesn't look like a dragon.

No... When I saw this giant emerging from the dark asteroid belt, the first thought that popped up in Ian's mind was actually a question.

- Exactly, what kind of existence can be called a 'dragon'?

What appeared in front of the young dragon and Ian was a super-giant ark monster with a total length of more than fifteen kilometers. It has a curved wedge-shaped shape, and the upper part of the whole looks like a half-cut part. It is an extremely long acute-angled cone, and the lower part is a ""-shaped structure viewed from the side. The sinusoidal wave light wings formed by the psionic light flow in the subspace spread toward the two sides with the shape structure as the center, forming a shape like The shape of dragon wings.

On the top of the giant ark, there are rows of devices that don't know if they are portholes or observation holes, which are shining smoothly and gently.

Is he a creature?Or a large wing ship warship?
A cutting-edge creation from another advanced civilization appeared in front of the young dragon and Ian. While stunned, it also told them an unquestionable reality in an inexplicable way.

—He is the dragon.

——The first generation of true dragons, the first true dragons.

The ancestor true dragon Ertolimu stayed in front of the 'Dragon Sleeping Dragon's Nest'. The silver and black mixed and streamlined outer armor gave people an artistic beauty.

He stared at the baby dragon who was looking at himself through the observation window, and then transmitted the emotional wave representing 'smile'.

【Ninpollaka, come here, we succeeded】

Gentle fluctuations came, and soon, another smaller monster emerged from the depths of the asteroid belt.

Compared with the first generation of real dragons, this new real dragon also looks very strange - it is a large space dragon whale that looks like a giant water drop, but there are many jellyfish-like tentacles floating on the back of its body , these tentacles expand and spread regularly, causing waves in time and space.

On both sides of the body, the huge side fins are similar to wings, but softer flesh and blood structures.It has a bouncy feel that makes one wonder what it feels like to roll over it.

However, compared to the first-generation true dragon, which was more like a mechanical structure as a whole, the second-generation true dragon was more like a living creature.

As for the third generation of young dragons... they are already completely alive.

The real dragon named Nain Boraka approached the sleeping dragon's nest, and the two huge real dragons and the small young dragon looked at each other.

This was the first time that the steel dragon Solstner met with his mentor Yanji dragon Nien Boraka, as well as the ancestor Ertolimu.

At that time, the Steel Dragon didn't know anything, and he didn't know anything. He only knew that he was the only true dragon that broke free and conceived in the sleeping dragon's lair, and was also the only true dragon that survived in that base. .

As one of the few successful individuals in various plans to give birth to a new generation of real dragons, the steel dragon Solstner passed through his childhood very slowly, and his instructors never dared to let him quickly enter adolescence, which is the so-called "work" state'.

[After entering the working state, our life span begins to count down, and after 500 years, we will die]

The instructor said: [Although various methods can be used to delay, in the final analysis, it is nothing more than playing tricks.If you don't grow up, you will have no wisdom, and entering the suspended animation is essentially the same as death, except that part of the time is skipped]

[Even the ancestors cannot avoid it]

[Fortunately, you were born successfully.The ancestor was very happy to know this news before he passed away. It proves that we are not limited to 'doomed to die, no future' tool... but a life with hope]

At that time, Xi Ganglong didn't quite understand the meaning of this sentence. When he understood, it was hundreds of years later.

But at that time, he was just learning...or in other words, accepting the 'inherited memory' that all true dragons must have.

"I didn't understand it at all then."

Ian heard the voice of the Qiangang Dragon, not from the perspective of the ignorant young dragon, but from the vicissitudes of the will of the old Qiangang Dragon God: "The inherited memory and perspective itself are an extremely It’s a huge treasure, but this treasure needs a key—we need to dig out the mysteries and knowledge gradually, but each true dragon has different inherited memories, know-how, and awakened powers are completely different.”

"True dragons are differentiated because of their own inherited memories. The third generation of true dragons, that is, there are not many dragons like us. Although the plans of the mentors and ancestors are successful, they have great flaws. Many compatriots have not had time to be born in the future,' The egg' just crumbles and shatters."

The voice of the Iron Dragon God was a little tired. He seemed to be purposely telling all those who came after him to inherit the existence of his own Steel Dragon Nest: "The raw materials for making dragon eggs are very precious, so after realizing that the success rate is too low, the relevant The research was urgently stopped."

"The mentor was not surprised. He told me that our real dragons have not had the function of reproduction from the very beginning, and their lifespan is also locked. But perhaps it is the mercy of the creators to us, and they have left us the interface of related functions. And part of the news that there is only one scale claw, the mentors and the ancestors relied on this information to create us and create the 'descendants' of the 'third-generation true dragon'."

"When I was younger I used to ask 'why'. Why did we have to be created?"

"And the instructor told me that those real dragons who have experienced the Broken Star War are all dragons who are afraid of death, so they want to study the methods of immortality and reproduction."

"As for what is the Broken Star War..."

At this point, the voice of the Iron Dragon God also became ethereal: 【I only have a little memory】

Ian saw that the light and shadow around him dissipated, and the real dragon staggering and crawling in the laboratory gradually distorted and dissipated into fog.

And there were indifferent and peaceful voices in his ears.

A calm voice said: [Fire seeds must be placed, after losing the Dawn Cradle system, we no longer have the conditions to keep these fire seeds]

A thin voice said: [Only Terra has the environment to place fire.But there is the reservation of the aborigines, according to the 'fire reserve agreement', we can not interfere with the original planet of the aborigines]

A soft voice said: [Then transform other planets and place related fires]

A hazy voice said: [The most suitable place for most of the fire is still the Terra orbit... We can negotiate with the aborigines, we have a contract with their ancestors]

A cold voice said: [Terra civilization has been destroyed, their descendants do not meet the conditions for fulfilling the contract, and they are no longer pure Terrans. I think they do not meet the 'fire retention agreement' and can be directly executed]

Then there is the argument.

[This is sophistry.We cannot interfere with native civilization]

[But we have more fire left by civilization here, we should protect the party with more numbers]

【The dead cannot block the path of the living, and the civilization that still exists is given priority to protection】

[They don’t need protection, and the Terra civilization has also inherited part of the creator’s legacy. They have a powerful force comparable to ours, so they must take responsibility—if they are not willing to take responsibility, then they are not responsible.Those who are irresponsible should not exist]

[In any case, we should reclaim the creator's legacy on Terra, and use force if necessary]

Five grand voices are intertwined with each other. Their voices are just an extremely small part of their language. Its essence is a kind of complex spiritual energy fluctuation. Through the frequency and node of the fluctuation, there are physical sounds as auxiliary marks, The frequency of each spiritual energy fluctuation and the loudness change of material sound are interlaced to form a complete information source.

Creatures without spiritual power, or without a physical body, are destined to be unable to understand the whole picture of Dragon Language.

The moment he heard these voices, Ian knew that these five voices were the 'five ancestors' of the real dragon.

【Tianlu Dragon】【Jingguang Dragon】【Shishu Dragon】【Weaving Sulong】【Wuzheng Dragon】

The ancestor El Tolimu was the 'Creator Dragon', also known as the 'Creator Ark'.

He is the longest surviving first-generation ancestor true dragon, and this memory is also passed on to Yanjilong by him, and Yanjilong is then passed on to Xiganglong.

After the Broken Star War, Shishulong sealed himself in the subspace, but even so, with the repeated unblocking, he still reached the end of his lifespan, and died shortly after the birth of the steel dragon.

The Fragmentary Star War is a battle between the five ancestors of the true dragons. The above-mentioned words are just the most insignificant point of their differences.

Their war shattered the Nemes star, and the planet named God's Punishment suffered the divine punishment of the first five dragon gods. Its star body shattered and became a vast asteroid belt, which was evenly broken up, like Crushed biscuits.

As one of the victors, the primordial dragon Ertolimu is also the ancestor of almost all existing third-generation true dragons.

——There are many more memories in Ian's mind.

The power of the steel dragon resonates with the core of the ancient dragon, and it also resonates with the ether crystal. The psionic mysteries left by him seem to be based on the concentration of Ian's dragon blood for information inheritance.

If it is an ordinary dragon blood inheritor of the second or third energy level, it is absolutely impossible to get much relevant information, but Ian is different... Even if it is broken and damaged, the ancient dragon core that originated from Mr. Hilliard is the real first. Five-level sublimation organs.

It passed the identification of the mystic lock left by Qianganglong, so Ian could get more information.

Of course, if Gu Long's core doesn't work, Ian still has a silver chip.

The hazy fragments of light and shadow are still flickering.

The young dragon is growing gradually, and its strength is also improving. Even on the edge of the orbit far away from the sun, the real dragon can gradually grow up by virtue of the remaining core heat in Nemesis, and when it grows to the fourth energy level, Xi The steel dragon can go to Metis, the tenth planet of Terra, to draw energy from a huge gaseous giant star.

It is a giant gaseous planet with the potential of a brown dwarf star, surrounded by many asteroids, and there are even many areas on the asteroids that meet the conditions for the existence of life, and some true dragons have built lairs there.

And after Qi Ganglong achieved the fourth energy level, the mentor found him.

【Go to Terra】

After experiencing the Battle of Broken Star, the second-generation true dragon who was also aging slowly said: [The ancestors are all gone, and we who need to abide by the rules the most are also getting old... You who were created by our hands are not Will be restricted by the rules]

[Go there and reclaim the legacy left by the creator, that is what we must recycle... and those fire seeds, we must also recycle, protect them, and not let those tombstones and last words of civilization be lost in our hands 】

"But those sparks have been lost."

The young steel dragon said: "They have already become a part of Terra—and the civilization of Terra has also been polluted by these fires...or, in other words, sublimated."

"They don't distinguish between each other, the civilization and memory of thousands of stars, stories and power are all integrated there."

"Moreover, human beings have indeed received the legacy of the creators, and among them there are existences comparable to our strength. The ancestors signed a contract with the apex. We help each other at critical moments, but do not interfere with each other on weekdays."

【Yes】

The instructor said: [But the top seats who signed the contract have long since passed away, and we are about to leave—so you should go to Terra, go there, and as yourself, sign a new contract with the people and civilization there alone]

[Sol Steiner, you are free, the third generation true dragon not restricted by the founding rules]

【You have to find your own path—just think of it for me, and find the 'Law of Immortality of the True Dragon' that I want to find】

【Go to Terra, leave this dead dragon's lair】

Xi Ganglong was silent.

"Ok."

He said, "It should be for you."

The young dragon turned around under the watchful eyes of the mentor, and he spread his wings and set sail in the dark asteroid field that had sunk into silence.

The real dragon flew in the direction of the bright stars, and finally came to a land full of vitality.

"At that time, I actually didn't understand anything. The asteroids contained abundant resources. A whole planet was shattered, and evenly turned into all kinds of resources to make us grow."

The voice of the Iron Dragon God sounded again, with a nostalgic tone. He and Ian watched from the mentor's perspective together with Ian, watching the back of his young self leaving the "homeland" alone: ​​"Then."

"That's when I ushered in the beginning of my real life."

Ian knew what the Iron Dragon God was talking about—the memory of the Dragon God that the boy got in the Twilight Cradle was passed down here.

The giant dragon that descended from the sky came to Terra. He fought with other people of the same kind that came to Terra earlier, and negotiated with the human empire. He has the help of the local funny little people, and in return, he graciously allows these little people to live by his side.

And then...that's it.

Time has flowed from generation to generation, witnessing the alternation of generations. The Iron Dragon has become the God of Iron Dragon, and the little people living in His kingdom... have also become mountain people.

And at this moment, when he was very old, Solstner, the steel dragon, understood the meaning of his life and why his mentor wanted him to go to Terra.

Why all the true dragons go to Terra.

"Because we are meant to be with people. With civilization."

The old voice said with a smile: "Because we are not immortal creatures, because we have no descendants."

"When I was approaching the end of my life, but I didn't want to die, but wanted to continue to live and continue to protect these villains... I understood the teacher's wish."

"Because I want to continue my dream, continue my spirit and thinking, so I want to create a creature with my own blood..."

"I want to have a deeper relationship with them (mountain people). Not just faith."

"They could be my children."

"And the origin of all these desires...the reason why our third generation of true dragons and the fourth, fifth, and even more generations of true dragons will be born."

"It is precisely because the essence of our existence is the 'fire'."

"Life born of fire."

Endless interlacing of light and shadow, an old real dragon with a silver-gray carapace was constructed in front of Ian. He stood silently in the void, with a long tail hovering around his side, and his wings were surrounded by endless black mist , as if in the underworld.

The remaining memory of Qiangang Dragon God stared at Ian with dim silver dragon pupils.

[Successor of future generations, are you a dragon?Or a human who got dragon blood?It doesn't matter, whether you are a dragon or not]

He said calmly: [Now, I want to tell you the nature of the real dragon]

[The real dragon is the 'fire seed'.At the very least, we, the third-generation true dragons, are existences that were catalyzed by our ancestors and mentors using the 'fire seed']

He raised his hand and pointed to the extremely bright silver light behind his chest shell, where the 'core' is located: 【My real name is 'Sol'.Stena is not my name, but the name of the "fire civilization" collected by the creators who gathered everything on the home planet, turned it into fire, and launched it into the void of the universe long ago]

[According to the tutor's guess, the original real dragon was used to observe many creatures and civilizations in the star sea, and record and save all of them. In the process of observing a civilization, our real dragon also Will gradually grow, arm themselves with their technology, and become the most powerful creature on that planet (Ultimate One)]

[Is this for harvesting, or for protection?According to the Tinder Civilization Preservation Agreement that we have inside us, both the Ancestor and the Mentor are considered to be 'protection'.Our predecessors should intervene in the disputes of civilizations and guide them not to destroy themselves. In order not to affect the development of civilizations, we can only use the technologies we have observed, and we cannot use too advanced power]

[For example, the technology I inherited from the 'Stella Civilization' created my 'inherited memory'... Theoretically speaking, as long as I grow to a full body, I can have the same power as the entire Stella Civilization, And I will also use the power of this civilization to protect and guide them themselves]

[A star field can only have one true dragon. After the 500-year period passes, there will be new real dragons to replace, to avoid the accumulation of technology and emotions that will make us biased... just like my feelings for the mountain people]

[However, Terra is special]

[I don't know why it is special, but there are indeed five ancestors and a dozen mentors gathered here...they are silent about this, and they don't make any expression on the Prisoner Star Prison...but Terra is undoubtedly special Yes, true dragons of the level of the five ancestors should not exist in a single star field at all, they came for an extremely huge plan]

[But that plan has ended before it even started... The creator who led the plan had an accident]

At this point, Qi Ganglong's memory froze.

When he spoke again, it was already another topic: [Only when you reach the fourth energy level and condense your heart light into an entity, the real dragon is the real real dragon, which can be counted as 'mature' and holds the real fire inheritance , have the power to create a new 'ecosystem' centered on oneself]

[This ecological circle is the ecology of those civilizations in the "Tinder". Our existence itself can transform the planet and the earth, so that life from alien stars can multiply in strange worlds]

[This is the mystery of true dragons, and it is also the reason why all true dragons who stay in Terra instead of going to Dragon Island will build their own Dragon Kingdom—we will naturally transform the world, and in times of crisis, create our own country and civilization, continue the existence of the fire ecology in the body]

[But I didn't do this... I don't want to spread my ecology, the fire of Stena civilization has been left in the steel dragon's lair]

【My real people are mountain people】

[And before I die, or die in a confrontation with other true dragons, I have been researching a technology... a technology that can make true dragons]

[It is not the technology that our mentors and ancestors made us, nor the technology that makes the real dragon live forever... but the technology that turns a non-characteristic human into a real dragon step by step]

[Besides me, there are many people and dragons studying it... Dragon Cult, what an interesting group of people]

He smiled and said meaningfully: [Although we did not succeed until my death, I did leave my brand in the blood of all the mountain people... Their inheritance of dragon blood will be greatly improved, even if Even a very harsh environment can adapt...]

[Of course, this is no different from ordinary dragon blood holders. Jin Zhimin also has similar abilities, but at the very least, I have mastered part of the power to change the essence of human blood.]

[I know that after I die, these people who were united because of me in the past will split up and even fight each other... Life is selfish and selfish, life is greedy, I understand them]

【So, I give them the unity of blood—as long as there is my emissary, the mountain people will understand that they are really one, and they are the people of my iron dragon Solstner】

[I will give them the 'consensus of blood']

The old real dragon looked at Ian, and he calmly said: [If you want to inherit my inheritance, this is the only condition]

【Be my messenger and protect my people】

[It doesn't take too long, it doesn't need too much, as long as they don't perish and awaken the 'blood consensus']

At this moment, Ian was completely stunned.

He finally understood why every true dragon could not understand or accept each other.

He finally understood why the dragon soul of the real dragon was so special that it could accept any kind of body.

He also finally understood why, as the fifth generation true dragon, Xiou, conceived by the mother's body, was a piece of white paper, not the complete successor of the King of the Mountain!

Because... the blood of the true dragon's essence is not those powers!

Those powers are essentially derived from the fire, from the civilizations they have observed!The real power of the real dragon is the 'universality' that can completely adapt to any civilization, any life form, and any form of existence!
They are indeed related to the fire... because they are the fire of civilization itself!
After understanding all this, Ian also understood the wish of Qiangganglong.

The mountain people are essentially a group of Terrans of different species. Among them are the people of iron, the people of gold, the people of white, and some of the people of red. Generally speaking, it is a great fusion.

And Qiangang Long hopes to create a group of "Dragon People" in a real sense with his own power!
He didn't succeed.So look forward to the latecomers to complete it.

"You don't need to say it."

He took a deep breath and looked at this ancient memory.

Ian replied calmly: "I will do the same. Or, I have already done so."

Of course, it's not just the people of the dragon... His goal is not just to protect a nation.

Instead, go higher and farther... farther than the true ancient lair of the true dragon, beyond the sea of ​​stars.

above the sky.

[That is a promise.Moreover, they still exist]

The ancient real dragon closed his eyes, his face covered by solid scales couldn't see any expression, but the fluctuation of his soul seemed to be smiling: 【This is a good thing】

In an instant, in the soul space, the phantom of the steel dragon Solstner shattered, and it became endless surging memory fragments, and the turbulent scenery clouds gathered towards Ian.

And Ian took a step forward, facing these memories that he had experienced once a long time ago.

The young man felt a sudden burning pain in his right hand, and a silver dragon head imprint appeared on the back of his hand.

Above the dragon's head, there is a crown of steel thorns hanging high.
