Chapter 730 The Dragon of Terra and the Hatched Egg

In the hazy backtracking, Ian vaguely heard a prophecy poem recited in Terra's tone.

【Apocalypse finally comes】

【Fate abandons us】

【Eternal splendor turned into dust】

【The world's calamity and flames burn the sun and the moon】

【Mortal beings】

【You are waiting for judgment】

【Remains of the past】

【Return to dust】

【Gone in oblivion】

【Mortal beings】

【You should listen】

【Darkness of Heaven and Earth】

【When the end comes】

【None of you will be spared】

This sonnet is the most orthodox sonnet of prophecy among the many myths and legends of Terra. It tells about the coming of the apocalypse, the destruction of the world, the end of all living beings, and the return of all old things to dust. The process of being completely forgotten.

But there were hundreds of versions of such doomsday prophecy poems in Terra back then.

It can be said that every year, people say that the end will be after a while. For the people of Terra at that time, none of these prophecies happened, so naturally it didn't matter.

Sustainability collapsed belongs to yes.

However, Terra is a world with spiritual power after all...

In this world, there are true prophets and true prophecies.

It now appears that a powerful prophet may have foreseen this scene long before the catastrophe of falling from the sky came.

At least, he saw the moment when the disaster from the sky happened.

But he was limited by the times, or he was not born on the unified planet of civilization in the pre-Tara era, and the era after the discovery of the fire of alien civilization, so his prophecy was also lost in many false apocalypses and was not taken seriously.

But the dragon, the strange dragon, knew the prophecy, and knew that the prophecy was true.

Moreover, He also knows the 'Creator'... which means He is obviously a member of the 'True Dragon'.

But here comes the problem - when the disaster happened, the third generation of true dragons had not yet been born, and the first true dragon and most of the second generation of true dragons were not in the orbit of Terra, but around the "God's Punishment Star Nemes" .

That being the case, where did the dragon come from Terra?

Even if the ancestor true dragon signed a contract with the civilization of the pre-epoch of Terra and cooperated, but when the catastrophe happened, they did not have the spare power to respond or even warn the civilization of Terra.

The answer is already there.

"It's Terra..."

Ian whispered to himself, staring at the huge dragon with metal bones and clouds as wings, roaring and wrapping the planet's atmosphere, turning into something that can be clearly seen even in outer space orbit, it is almost like The giant hands of cloud and mist, as large as half a continent, held up the fallen outer space colonial cities, so that they would not "fall" as much as possible, but "land" on Terra with as gentle force as possible.

Not only that, layer after layer of inscription circuits emerged, and the atmosphere of the entire planet seemed to echo this real dragon, which represented that the real dragons of the entire 'Terra' broke out dragon chant again, due to the skyfall. , the impact enough to blow up the atmosphere of the entire planet was suppressed by him alone.

And his name...

It is 【Tera】

【Terra Dragon TerraDrac】

The most essential meanings of the names of all real dragons are "dragon of a certain place", "dragon of a certain planet" and "dragon of a certain civilization". The transliteration and translation of the concept of 'dragon' in different languages ​​of various planets.

Of course, in some civilizations, there may be no concept of dragons, and local civilizations will also regard these powerful beings as "angels of heaven", so their names may also be "angels of a certain place".

But none of this prevents others from understanding the identity of this giant dragon—he has settled in Terra since ancient times, and has recorded almost all civilization and biological data of Terra civilization, which is almost the existence of "Terra fire", And he is also the bridge between the Terra civilization and the five ancestors of the true dragon, and the intermediary that assists in the conclusion of the human-dragon contract.

He is the Dragon of Terra!
The true dragon who regards Terra as his hometown, does his best to prevent the destruction of Terra, but it is absolutely impossible to face the disaster of falling from the sky, which originates from the deep space of the universe, with the power of his own dragon withstand.

Even if he delayed the fall of many huge satellite cities, even if he tried his best to restrain the overflow of the planet's atmosphere, even if he tried his best to control a mysterious force in the atmosphere of Terra to deflect the fragments of the moon that collapsed from the shattered moon... …

Terra civilization is still destroyed.

Unbelievable psychic fluctuations swept across the world, destroying the Terra network system built on the electronic and psychic network in an instant, and even set off a tsunami in the void, almost all permanent myths were destroyed, and many automated intelligent programs Make a mistake, and evolve into virtual machine gods in later generations.

Except for those key storage devices that have been specially protected, almost all civilian storage devices have been burned, and the inheritance of civilization has ushered in the first severance here.

Then, terrible geological changes and natural disasters killed one-third of the population, and the resource supply imbalance caused by the subsequent collapse of civilization killed the remaining one-third, followed by secondary disasters and Human-to-human killing cuts the population down again.

So far, except for those emergency refuges that maintained basic order, the entire Terra civilization was completely destroyed on the surface.

A glorious era has ushered in the end, and the achievements of the ages have been reduced to dust, and passed away in the long river of illusory history.

However, the dragons of Terra were not in vain.

Yes, destruction, finality and extinction came with the apocalypse. The Terra civilization, which thought it was ready to deal with the doomsday, ushered in an unexpected natural disaster in a hurry, but the efforts of the dragon of Terra, It still kept a little fire on this planet.

The last thing Ian saw was the completely burned and exhausted Dragon of Terra slowly falling.

Even so, he, who greeted the final outcome, also carried a colonial city on his back at the end, holding it up and slowly falling to the ground, just like lifting his own tombstone.

[As a dragon's ending, it's not bad]

With such relief, the backtracking ends.

Ian fell silent.

It’s another look back on the disaster of falling from the sky—it’s not surprising that almost all the origins and upheavals in the land of Terra originated from the disaster of falling from the sky more than 600 years ago.

And the big city that was lifted up by the dragon of Terra and finally landed on the ground is obviously the most well-preserved colonial city. It has gradually become the center of natural source quality in the changes of later generations, and the core that has not been completely extinguished. The heart of the furnace has formed a huge spiritual energy field, nurturing countless lives.

The complex urban structure, exquisite streets and urban areas have become more and more obscure and difficult to explore because of the lack of guidance from the map of the year.

So, gradually... the city that recorded the last battle of the dragons of Terra became an area that is now called a 'labyrinth' by all living beings on Terra.

Later, it evolved into a breeding ground for the empire to breed monsters.

[One thousand and six hundred years, most of Terra's civilization history, four dynasties and the complete reincarnation of the chaotic times... Not long, but not short, enough to witness the replacement of the world, the loss and rejuvenation of civilization]

Ian, in the form of a young dragon, let out a long sigh. The dragon of Terra was almost desperate to fight against the prophesied doomsday. Obviously, before it actually happened, no one knew what the prophecy represented and when it would happen. , and this is enough to make more than 90.00% of the preparations meaningless.

But He did manage to retain some things... If the dragon of Terra did not do his best to burn his hard work, Terra is estimated to be still in the bloody massacre and disputes during the "Lost Era". Time to restore or even develop to the point where there are so many fifth energy levels today?

Of course, Ian still has many puzzles.

The existence of the dragon of Terra is quite normal. After all, other civilizations have dragons of fire, so it makes no sense that Terra does not.

But the question is, what does the collapse of the creator of "heaven" and "heaven" in his mouth represent?
The creators are the creators of the real dragons, and also the creators of the spaceships falling from the sky, and even more likely to exist, the creators of the guardianship order of the cosmic civilization represented by the real dragons—they are undoubtedly an extremely powerful universe Civilization, but they obviously also have opponents.

The crash of the Skyfall spacecraft may also have some relationship with the "fallen heaven" that Terra True Dragon said.

As for the personality of the true dragon of Terra, Ian believes that it is probably lower than the true dragon of the first generation, but higher than the true dragon of the second generation.

The strength of the other party is equivalent to that of Terra Civilization, an emerging cosmic civilization that has absorbed a lot of fire. Although it is temporarily unable to travel to the outer starry sky, this does not mean that their technical skills are low... At the same time, the Terra True Dragon is obviously a A veteran true dragon, who may have survived for more than 500 years, an ancient existence that has been "extended life" by the creator.

He must know more than Ian imagined... I just don't know where the "inherited fire" of the dragon of Terra is, whether it is in this "Giant City of Atlan", or whether it was in the early Just in the past time was taken away.

【Take me back】

The harvest has been great, and Ian is now more and more interested in this 'breeding place' where he is.

Perhaps it was fate, or coincidence, since Master Goser chose to take the two dragon eggs away and store them in Atlan's breeding ground, it was destined that Ian would be able to perceive the truth of this place—and all of this Thanks again to Ian for his adventures in another maze.

Everything is gathered in the choice of the prophet... Perhaps in the past, there were no other prophets who wanted to reverse the doomsday and do the same thing as Ian, but none of them were as strong as Ian, or in other words, they No one has the perspective and ability of Ian, who can look at the past and the future and integrate all the information.

"Ok."

As someone who had seen Ian use the 'Retrospective Horizon', Andor also seemed to have noticed something, and he took the young dragon back to the inside of the giant city without hesitation.

At this moment, a team of knights and a researcher headed by walked towards Andor quickly.

"That's right, D-73687, you can actually hatch crystallized dragon eggs - the teacher said that it only needs you alone. I didn't believe it at first, but I didn't expect it to be true!"

As soon as the beaming researcher opened his mouth, he revealed that he was a former disciple of Master Goser, and also revealed that Master Goser actually wanted to throw Andor in the giant city of Atlan to rot and die. ——The old man can definitely see that these two eggs are not in good condition, but he insists on letting Andor take care of them alone. Obviously, he wants to blame Andor for everything, and when the time comes, use this 'informed person' Reasonable means to eliminate.

As for why it was so roundabout... it was actually for Ian's sake.

After all, it was Ian who spared Andor's life. Even if Master Goser didn't want him to live, he would respect Ian's decision and kill the pirate captain in an unknown way.

Of course, he will still use his own method to achieve his goal, and Ian will not think that there is a problem with Master Goser doing so, but he is a little bit moved by Andor's good luck.

If he came a little later, or if the crystal dragon hatched a little later, then he was really dead.

"How is the situation? How is the crystallized baby dragon doing? Does it express a desire to enter the water, or is it hungry?"

At this moment, the researcher is asking Andor about the needs and situation of the crystallized baby dragon. As the only person in charge, he must obtain relevant information from Andor before he can arrange enough suitable breeding rooms for the crystallized baby dragon. .

As the only Zhanhai crystal dragon in the breeding ground of the entire Atlan giant city (because of Master Gosai, the empire did not know the existence of the ether crystal dragon), the treatment of the crystal baby dragon is quite high, let alone as a material, It is estimated that it will be bred as a dragon in the next few decades, and it can be regarded as the treasure of the town.

But the premise is that it can hatch and grow up.After all, if it's just eggs, there are still a lot of breeding places here.

【Listen to my answer】

Naturally, Ian couldn't bear to see Andor, who was close to asking questions and knowing nothing - he still had to make sure that his collaborator had some merit.

So, soon, under Ian's brain control, Andor began to pop out various professional words: "The crystallized baby dragon is in good condition now, the recovery rate of original materials exceeds 90.00% eight, no limbs, mental retardation , showing yearning for the natural environment outside, so I took it out of the hatchery and went to the open sea to breathe fresh air."

"The juvenile dragon showed a desire to be close to water, but it was not strong. The source quality of its mother body should be inclined to 'ice' rather than the common 'liquid'. According to my experience in the South China Sea Labyrinth, the crystallized juvenile dragon mother Born in the cooling zone of the maze, it is in line with the performance of the baby dragon."

"But because of the pollution of the insect nest in the labyrinth, the drowsiness symptoms of the crystallized young dragon, I just noticed that the young dragon wanted to enter 'Dragon Rest', so I brought it back from the lighthouse."

Andor actually didn't know what he was talking about, he just simply repeated everything Ian asked him to say - and the moment he finished speaking, the crystal dragon clone controlled by Ian lazily opened his mouth. He yawned, and then put his head on his coiled body, obviously going to sleep.

"Take him to the Frozen Ocean Breeding Room."

And the disciple of Master Gesai turned his head, and ordered to the knight: "Zhanhai crystal dragon young dragon enjoys AAA-level treatment."

Immediately afterwards, he turned his head and looked at the overjoyed pirate captain. The researcher grinned implicitly and said, "This is what the teacher ordered - as long as you can hatch the crystallized dragon eggs, you can regain your human rights and enjoy formal treatment." ...Congratulations, Mister Andor, you are free."

"Of course, you can also stay at the Atlan breeding ground, and continue to breed crystal dragons as my subordinate."

After speaking, the researcher waited for Andor's choice.

"I, stay in Atlanta!"

Without any hesitation, Andor just breathed a sigh of relief—as the person Ian had seen who wanted to live the most, he naturally knew what choice he should make to continue to live: "I don't have any worldly thoughts in my heart right now. , I just want to take care of the little Crystal Dragon wholeheartedly!"

"Very good. You're smart." The researcher smiled—this time with sincerity: "You survived."

Then, he continued to say to the knight on the other side: "Change the number of D-73687 to C-361 Andor, and enjoy the treatment of C-level personnel."

"Take him to my office later, and I will remove the alchemy poison in his body."

Obviously, if Andor dared to choose freedom just now, then he would indeed be able to obtain the most complete freedom in this world... that is, death.

Although he was furiously cursing in his heart, Andor couldn't help showing a smile on his face, and let out a long breath.

Now...he can be regarded as completely free from the precarious life.

The crystallized drake falls into a deep sleep.

And the other side of the continent.

Ian opened his eyes.

He released his hand from the dragon egg, and nodded thoughtfully: "Interesting. Sure enough, Terra is very big, and there are many hidden secrets... With such a clone, it is also convenient to explore the secrets beyond Nanling many."

"And... the three dragon eggs, are they really one? The dragon soul is also picking the pilots of its other two bodies..."

Ian raised his head and looked at Elan and Shasha who were also watching him on the other side, as well as Elder Pude and Qingchao.

He smiled: "It seems that not only I can do it, but other people can do it too."

"Now, I don't have to worry about the crystal avatar being controlled by anyone."

And right now.

As Ian finished the 'demonstration', the unbroken crystallized dragon egg in front of him suddenly began to tremble slightly.

Seeing this scene, Ian took a step back. He raised his eyebrows and stared at the dragon egg that was shaking constantly in front of him.

Obviously, after seeing Ian's extremely clear 'way of action', this dragon egg that gave birth to the real main body of the crystallized dragon will also hatch.
