The pitch-black ball is suspended in the seawater. It looks like a painting, because there is no light or shadow at all to give it a three-dimensional feel. It is just pure darkness. In Ian's eyes, it is a sudden darkness in a colorful world, an unchanging sphere no matter what angle it is viewed from.
In this regard, Ian was only in disbelief.
"Why is the Star Prison here?"
This is the Star Prison—a dark realm that absorbs all electromagnetic waves, all light, all gravity, all source matter and psychic reactions, a prison where everything is stagnant.
It appeared in the skull cavity of the Dragon of Terra, causing thousands of thoughts to arise in people's hearts. Is this the method used by the Dragon of Terra to protect its heritage? The Dragon of Terra back then had actually mastered the method of making the Star Prison?
And, most importantly...
How can we open this miniature Prison Star Prison?
Ian couldn't find any method for a while. Rather, he came here to find the inheritance of Dragon of Terra because he wanted to see if there was any way to open or repair the Star Prison in the other party's inheritance. of.
As a result, the other party's inheritance is in the Heavenly Prison.
This is an endless cycle.
With a thought, Ian condensed the surrounding sea water into ice and touched the Prison Star Prison.
There was no reaction. Ian could not feel the reaction force, nor could he feel the ice pick moving forward. The black ball did not react to the outside world except absorbing all external forces and isolating the connection between the inside and outside.
According to Ian's perception, he just pushed hard, and never felt that the power was actually touching something. He didn't even feel the air turning into wind and passing by his fingertips. It was a complete feeling of nothingness. Appears above the ice pick.
"Isn't material touch effective? Then try the source of matter."
Ian cautiously used the source material to touch the Prison Star Prison - unfortunately, there was no reaction either. The source of matter is like a drop of water floating on the surface of oil. It keeps sliding away and sliding away, unable to enter the heavenly hell and interfere with its interior.
"Psychic power?"
The psychic energy was useless. Ian even entered the virtual realm on the spot, but in the virtual realm, the Star Prison was still in the form of a pitch-black ball, no different from the material world.
This is a "prison" that is completely consistent in all aspects and has no flaws at all. It is also a perfect safe.
No wonder, after so many attempts, I never thought of leaving the Star Prison from other places. I could only head towards the entrance of the "Disaster of Light." This thing really has no flaws."
After testing for a period of time, Ian couldn't help but sigh... He said that he should not be so stubborn and insist on passing through that dangerous exit.
If you leave from the other side of the prison, that is, from the area opposite the entrance to the Calamity of Light and the blocked door, then based on the size of the prison, the exit on the other side is ten light years away. .
Ten light-years away, even Zhan Yan probably wouldn't be able to sense this information so quickly, not to mention that the other party probably wouldn't care at all - the star-extinguishing path was only discovered because he took the initiative to bump into it.
So, is Prisoner's Heavenly Prison invincible?
Not really.
The disaster of falling from the sky was the result of the Star God spacecraft crashing into the Prison Star Prison, then flying all the way across, and finally crashing into the moon and falling on Terra.
Although it is not known how the Star God spacecraft originally traveled, it does have an energy level that is enough to crush the Star Prison.
And in the end...
"Is it possible that a black hole is needed to smash the Prison Star Prison?"
The little cyan dragon circled around the dark ball, and Ian was quite helpless; "If it were the big prison star prison outside, it would be a possible choice... But this one is so small. Is it possible to use a quantum black hole in the laboratory to open it?"
"No. The Dragon of Terra can create this thing, and there must be a way to open it - but this is what I want! His inheritance is locked in a box that cannot be opened!"
Thinking of this, Ian couldn't help but feel his head hurt again: "Are you kidding me?" "Brother, what happened to you?"
Are you in any trouble? "
The crystal dragon possessed by Ian was constantly rotating around the pitch-black ball. Neither spiritual energy, source matter nor the original ether combined with the two could interfere with it at all. Elan watched this scene and asked with some worry. : "How can I help?"
"Elan..."
Ian wanted to say something, but soon, an idea flashed in his mind, and he seemed to have thought of something.
"Because the Starry Heaven Prison is stable both in the material world and in the virtual realm. I have never seen such a stable form of matter, or it is not a substance in the first place... The effect of ether on matter and the virtual realm Compared with the Qianling Energy Well, its influence is not substantially improved. Its real point lies in its ability to travel through time and space.
Wei murmured to himself, and Yisi's eyes slowly opened wide. He suddenly thought of a possibility, a possibility that allowed him to reveal part of the truth about the prison: "As long as I can reverse time and space, I can see what happened one thousand six hundred years ago." , just let the Dragon of Terra shape the process of Star Prison in his mind!"
"That's right, I don't need to open the Star Prison on the material and soul levels at all - I only need to open it on the timeline level!"
"And Elan's psychic powers..."
Ian turned his head and looked at Xiaolong who looked confused. He smiled: "It's the retrospective horizon!"
Ellan didn't know why his words suddenly made his brother realize something, but it would be great if he could help. The little dragon swung its tail happily: "Okay!"
After OK, it’s time to take action.
"Elan, try it. Can you go back and see what this sea area was like more than 1,600 years ago?
Ian pulled Ellan aside and tried to get him to backtrack - because Yisi himself didn't know exactly how long ago the Dragon of Terra condensed this miniature prison star prison, he always tested the limits of Ellan's abilities first.
Um...."
And Elan's six dragon eyes lit up with a light purple halo, which was the brilliance of the retrospective vision. He looked seriously in the direction of Prisoner's Prison, then shook his head slightly: "No, brother, I can't see the past that far away... At most, it was a few decades ago, less than a hundred years ago. ....."
"Is that so?"
Ian is not disappointed. In fact, this has been in his expectation for a long time. Elan's ability will definitely not be able to know the secrets of thousands of years ago in an instant, just like his psychic ability has also improved little by little to what it is now. situation.
In a few years, when Elan's arcane path "Ming Soul" is completed, his spiritual power will probably undergo transformation, and he will be able to see the past hundreds or even thousands of years ago.
But now, Ian did not give up directly. He asked Elan to try to trace back the special situation in this sea area.
What are special circumstances? "Elan asked: "Brother, you also know that my spiritual power must have a clear goal before I can go back...so I can sense your experience, brother, but others can't."
"If there is specific information..." Ian stared at the Yinxing Heavenly Prison in front of him. He thought about it, and then slowly said: "Inheritance, a powerful existence...maybe like me, this black ball those who are interested."
At this moment, a name quickly popped into Ian's mind.
Inega II.
"Izinka II." Ian said slowly: "Elan, you try to trace back this sea area based on the situation of "Inadao II"."
"Um!"
Because of Ian and Hilliard, Elan was quite familiar with Izinga II. Although he didn't have any specific knowledge, he still had images of the late emperor's appearance.
Moreover, the era of Yi Zinjia II happened to be within a hundred years. A light purple halo lit up among the six dragon dragons, and Elan began to look back.
Ian used the special ability of "Star Soul" to contact Elan's soul and share with him the scene he saw this time in retrospect.
Then…....
He saw a thin figure and another tall knight standing in front of the dark ball.
This thin man looks to be about thirty or forty years old. He has no beard on his face and his long blond hair hangs casually behind his back. he
His eyebrows are a bit long, but they are raised upward like sharp blades, and the corners of his mouth are always raised like his eyebrows, as if he is always smiling.
His eyes were unusually bright, like two golden stars, but they were not dazzling, but had a gentle feeling.
The tall man had messy brown hair, a calm expression, and a resolute face, which made Ian feel extremely familiar.
"teacher……"
Whispering to himself, Ian knew very well that the knight was exactly what Teacher Hilliard looked like when he was young, and standing in front of him was a thin blond man who was slightly shorter than the teacher...
That is Inaga II.
[Can you open him? 】
[Your Majesty, this is a bit overwhelming. This object has no gravity at all, and there is no distortion in the surrounding space and time. In other words, it either does not actually exist at all, or it has distorted space and time to the extreme. It is an abnormal space and time that is almost impossible to deal with]
[Well, as expected of you, you actually saw through its abnormal nature at a glance... And even you can't open it. I'm afraid no one in this world can open it with one's own brute force]
[Your Majesty, what is this? Why are there such strange objects in the dragon bones under the giant city of Atlan? Is it the 'treasure' that the real dragon is chasing? 】
Um. It is not an exaggeration to say it is a treasure... This is the biggest treasure left to us by the Dragon of Terra. But if you have to say it, this is just something that the civilization of the previous era should have passed down to us. However, due to the disaster of the Skyfall, all inheritance was cut off, so that only this place is left to read the copy]
【I see.】
Blurred lights, shadows and conversations can be vaguely seen.
The scene that Elan saw was exactly the scene when Inega II and Hilliard came to the giant city of Atlan decades ago.
Ian was more keen, and he sensed bursts of bloody murderous aura coming from Teacher Hilliard. It was obvious that they had just gone through a battle, and their name for Atlan's breeding ground was also "Giant City."
Obviously, this was before the creation of the Labyrinth Breeding Ground. It was even possible that it was the day Hilliard killed the Atlan Labyrinth, rendered it harmless, and turned it into a breeding ground.
And it was on that day that he and his master Inaga II came to the black ball.
With Hilliard's strength, he can already see through most of the "truth" in this world. The essence of the Prisoner's Heavenly Prison that isolates it from all gravitational influences is that it is not like any substance at all. The gravity of its own mass will distort the surrounding space and time. In other words, if it is a creature that uses gravity as its sense of touch, the Prisoner's Star Prison It doesn't exist in their eyes at all.
Ian already knew this from previous exchanges with Echo, because it was most likely that it was because of this perception that he was unable to know the existence of the "Prison Prison" and the Terran civilization behind it.
This is the basis for the existence of the "cradle", the essence of "Prison Star Prison".
[So Your Majesty, how do you plan to open it? 】
[I'm not sure this is effective, but I did get the key to unlock it from the ancient books passed down from my family... I can only say that fortunately the bloodline inherited by our Setar royal family is the Sun Bird']
Inaga II's voice sounded strategizing. He obviously came here because of a possibility, and Ian couldn't help but hold his breath. He wanted to understand what the so-called key in Inaga's mouth was.
But it's a pity that Elan's ability is not that strong. Even the faces of Inaga and Hilliard were actually a bit blurry. How could he clearly see the "key" in Inaga's hand?
But, he saw it.
He saw a light.
It was a stream of light made up of countless rays of light. It was so bright that it looked like billions of suns were focused on one place.
This is a particle accelerator... At this moment, in Ian's eyes, Inaga's body turned into a human-shaped particle accelerator. Huge energy was put into the microscopic realm, and the terrifying magnetic field was restrained by the ether. is constituted.
And this energy is just a "safe" for Inaga to store certain things in his body.
[If it weren’t for the large field within the imperial capital that can create an energy field of more than 1000 TeV, we would really not be able to find the key to this black domain... We still have to thank you, Hilliard. Without your help, I There is no way to control the space bubble...]
[I am just following your instructions, Your Majesty]
Izinka II's voice sounded, and something strange appeared at the top of the light in his hand. It was something incredible that Ian could hardly observe, but the silver chip could.
【Magnetic Monopole】
Inaga used the light flow to restrain the magnetic monopole and opened a hole in the pitch-black territory - and the pitch-black miniature heavenly hell rippled like water waves, creating an extremely smooth hole.
[Sure enough, only things with certain strangeness can separate it. I almost want to find the hungry wolves of the Cangtian King Group and ask them to help create a miniature black hole]
Seeing this scene, even Inaga II breathed a sigh of relief. He laughed and then took out a large piece of "Dragon Crystal" from the miniature hell, which is the memory storage organ of the real dragon: [Well, it seems You can't take them all away. This miniature black domain is generated with dragon crystal as the core. If I take it away, future generations will not be able to access the true black domain on Terra...
[Then just keep part of it] Hilliard's voice sounded: After all, Your Majesty, you only need part of the information. If it doesn't work, we will come back to get it later]
[Yeah, that’s right, let’s stay for now]
The images of Inaga II and Hilliard slowly disappeared.
Elan's "retrospective horizon" reached its limit.
But Ian stared blankly into the void, the images of the past that had dissipated.
"Part of the inheritance has been taken away by Inaga II. He has no chance to take away the remaining part..."
The young dragon murmured to himself, and he said in disbelief at this moment: "The magnetic monopole...is that the key to open the hell? That's right, the imperial capital itself is a planetary shield generator, itself a super-high energy level A particle accelerator, if the ether furnace core inside it is artificially distorted, it can indeed create an ultra-high energy field... Not only is it immovable, but it also requires a sun bird!"
No wonder, no wonder Inaga II needs to develop the Immovable Castle - even the Sun Bird cannot control the Imperial City alone. He must have other people to assist him in controlling the etheric furnace core structure inside the Imperial Capital and bear the operating load of the Imperial Capital, so There must be an immovable fortified city! "
Everything is clear.
Inaga II has known about the existence of the Prison Star Prison for a long time. Yes, for the Sun Bird, it only takes ten years to travel between Terra and the Heaven Prison. In the past 1,600 years, there must be comparisons. The crazy sun bird arrived inside the heavenly prison.
Inaga has known all this for a long time. He has been thinking about how to open the Hell, and finally he found a possible answer through the silver chip, which is the magnetic monopole, which was born in an ultra-high energy environment close to the beginning of creation. substance.
But if you want to create a magnetic monopole, there is no such condition on Terra, unless it is a legacy of pre-era civilization.
For example, the imperial capital.
As a planetary shield generator, the Imperial City itself can create ultra-high-energy particle flows. If it is not the true bloodline form of the Sun God Bird, it will definitely be severely damaged if it is hit by the full-power Imperial City beam.
The Imperial Capital has been slightly renovated and turned into an excellent high-energy particle laboratory.
However, Inaga alone cannot control the Imperial City and conduct experiments at the same time, and if you want to control the Imperial City, you need to bear a huge load... Therefore, the Fudo Castle was born!
Perhaps in the future, Fudo Castle will have many other meanings and abilities, but in the beginning, all of this was the true form created by Inaga II in order to obtain the highest-level high-energy particle laboratory!
"Brother? How is it?"
Ellan's slightly expectant voice made Ian come back to his senses. He lowered his head, smiled and patted Ellan's back: "You did a good job! That's it, my guess was right!"
Since there is no way to physically solve the Prison Star Prison, we can always find a solution by looking back in time.
Method!
However, just when Ian was about to turn around and continue to observe the "Prison Prison" in front of him.
Suddenly.
The "retrospective vision" in his body began to activate because of some extremely strong emotion.
"What?"
Ian was a little confused at first. He didn't know why the "Retrospective Horizon" was activated - it should have been activated a long time ago. There was no point of emotional concentration near Hell.
But soon, he found the reason.
Not outside the heavenly hell, but within the heavenly hell.
Inside the "Prison of the Prisoner" opened by Inaga II, the remaining dragon items are flowing with emotions that cannot be ignored, like a tidal wave!
Because of Elan's "retrospection", Ian saw the process of Inaga II opening the Star Prison and obtaining the inheritance of the Dragon of Terra.
And because Inaga II opened the Heavenly Hell and received the inheritance, the emotions hidden in the Heavenly Hell originating from the Dragon of Terra flowed out, activating Ian's "Recall!"
At this moment, the retrospective vision in Ian's body, except that it can only be activated by emotions, is more powerful than Elan's retrospective vision!
This more powerful ability to look back uses Elan's look back as a springboard to look back into the more distant past!
In an instant, the endless river of time flowed backwards and forwards in front of Ian's eyes...
The clocks turn back, the tide recedes, and everything in the world continues to move back to the past, like a boat against the current...
Back to 1,600 years ago, the moment when the Star Prison was first created.
In front of a dying true dragon.
[The Creator has lost... In the world inside the cradle, the silent ring is no longer possible...]
That sad voice echoed in Ian's soul: [Everything is out of control, the cradle is about to solidify... All living beings will never be able to get out of the cradle...]
[This is a good thing and a bad thing...but no matter what, you have to get out eventually. The cradle is a cradle, not a prison...]
The giant dragon, as black as the earth, slowly raised its head.
The Dragon of Terra, Terra Drakl's dragon eyes were slightly raised, as if staring forward, staring in the direction of Ian.
And Ian also looked at the Star Guardian Dragon who had protected Terra for countless years.
At this moment, he had an enlightenment.
It was he whom the Dragon of Terra awaited—him. This is a confrontation that spans sixteen hundred years.
It seems to have penetrated time and space and fate. 【no matter who】
At this moment, the Dragon of Terra said: [No matter what race or life it is]
[Whether you opened the cradle and saw this scene from my memory, or you went back through time and space through the ether and saw this scene beyond the timeline]
[You must be looking for an answer, so you came here]
[In this case, please watch carefully and understand the cradle that protects you, and also understand the prison that may imprison you]
[Then, whether it’s fixing it, fixing the wall]
[Or open it and walk towards the final darkness]
【That's all your...choice】
After finishing speaking, as the dragon's dragon heart core broke open his broken body in the dragon's chest and belly, and slowly floated in front of him, the Dragon of Terra began to show "creation".
The dragon core of the Dragon of Terra is in the shape of a spiral shark egg, with layers of crystal lattice shining on it. Under the will of the Dragon of Terra, the core of the ancient dragon begins to rotate rapidly.
The incredibly pure ether field spread, instantly forming an "ether bubble" that should only exist in the heart of the ether furnace. This bubble was so big that it was even comparable to the head of a giant dragon.
Energy begins to condense toward the center, and the space-time outside the center approaches absolute zero in an instant. At this moment, the structure of space-time begins to distort, or to condense... A kind of Bose - Einstein Condensed matter opens
Begins to take shape.
The speed of light begins to decrease.
The simulated black hole and black domain begin to take shape.
The rotating space bubbles and condensed matter began to turn black. Due to the reduction in the speed of light, the incident light could not escape, and the light was frozen in it, but this was not the end.
Using space bubbles to distort space-time and gather endless energy, it opened a passage that seemed to lead further inside, and the condensed space-time formed a concave well around this passage... It It seems to be connected to the "large ether circulation", forming a basic second type of perpetual motion machine, maintaining the permanent existence of this space bubble...
A space hole entrance that is close to a black hole appears, and an outer wall made of space-time condensed matter forms a horizon that even light cannot escape.
Next, Ian was out of sight.
Because the Prison Star Prison has taken shape.
