Historically, humans have been doing the same thing over and over again. Individuals who take refuge in the collective create benefits for the collective, and the collective distributes benefits to individuals. If everything is on the rise, then every individual can be satisfied and the stability of the collective can be maintained.
But human beings are greedy and insatiable creatures. Even if the distribution is extremely fair, they will still be dissatisfied, not to mention that the distribution is almost impossible to be fair. As a result, contradictions accumulate and are only covered up by development.
When conflicts accumulate to a certain level and the collective is unable to continue to create new and greater benefits due to technological stagnation, then the conflicts will destroy the collective. Whether this manifests as a change of dynasty, a new one, or a change of heaven and earth, the essence is It's the same thing.
As long as technology stagnates, there will be war.
Just like Terra today.
The systematic method of sublimation, the emergence of the true form, the alchemical revolution, the invention of the alchemy furnace core, the invention of armor, the invention of the ether furnace, the emergence of Warcraft breeding grounds and the modern reform of the alchemy industry...
Time and again, technological advancements have suppressed Terra's conflicts time and time again.
But because of the delay in finding the 'technical change' of this era, we can't find the core method to the sixth energy level, and we can't find the most essential heart of the furnace with unlimited energy.
Therefore, conflicts broke out, affecting the Terran War in this era.
Originally, this war on Terra would be extremely fierce - after the empire's floating city tore apart Absalom's defenses, it would cut off the connection between the two major bloodlines, and the Seven Cities Alliance and the Fierce Mountains would simultaneously oppress the two places. Unable to help each other, they were defeated individually.
Originally, the Cangtian Royal Court would mobilize the army originally stationed around the Moorish border of Canaan before the old Khan became seriously ill, and marched with the Nine Cold Alliance. The army peak approached the Gantrigam Holy Land, forcing the dwarves to Retreat to Cape Avogarod, or even escape to the open land of the Vast Sea.
Originally, the Empire and the Royal Court were about to launch a strategic decisive battle in the Ushtalaf Mountains. The fifth level of the two sides officially fought, causing the Suyue Khanate to freeze for thousands of miles, causing hundreds of millions of casualties, and the Icewind Valley fortresses turned into an endless poisonous swamp. , the establishment of eleven legions was cancelled.
This was an extremely brutal fight, an 'all-camp war' that almost turned the entire Terra into a mess.
But, this is only a possibility.
None of this really happened.
And the reason is not because of anything else.
It's because of Ian.
It is precisely because of the arcane path.
The emergence of 'technological changes of this era' has eased the conflicts between countries, just like a civilization that was still using thermal power to generate electricity suddenly popularized nuclear fusion power generation. Even though the essence is still boiling water, the efficiency and energy level are different. The improvement is enough for all countries to temporarily stop their efforts, give up some disputes, and concentrate on studying this path in order to seize the opportunity in future development.
And taking advantage of this opportunity when the Terran kingdoms were in full contraction, Ian also achieved his most important goal.
He secretly visited Chen Cang, came to the New World, defeated the local beast kingdom, founded the royal court, and became the king of the New World - during this process, all the countries were studying the arcane path and shrinking, even the far shore islands were like this. And they actually achieved their goal. Ian worked with them to develop the New World, and they did better than they imagined.
At this point, he has a solid backing to deal with the subsequent greater disputes in Terra.
Yes, bigger disputes.
The arcane path did not completely resolve the contradictions on Terra. It only strengthened the original fifth energy level and increased lifespan and strength. It could neither solve the energy problem nor the future. It treats the symptoms but not the root cause and can only delay the outbreak of conflicts.
But it just so happens that it also gives Ian time and opportunity to develop.
At this moment, Elf Ian dived into the depths of the subspace network and headed towards the center where the white light condensed.
The core protected by the power of the ladder is now much darker. The energy of the ladder has been used to transform the entire new continent. Although it still maintains the basic operating energy, it is somewhat powerless for this additional protection point.
What's more, Ian holds the authority of both the Star God Spaceship and the Ladder System, so he doesn't have to fight against these protective layers at all.
"Open."
Standing in front of the light plane, he said calmly. The grating-like shield also folded in response to the command, opening the portal like the blades of mimosa grass.
The light receded, and the things preserved in the subspace showed their true appearance.
It was a pyramid—a black pyramid. Suspended in mid-air, held up by tiny streams of velvet white light, it slowly rotates, showing the observers the slowly flowing rune patterns on its eight sides.
【——The sound of the eternal tide——】
【Missing】
[The ether interactive platform destroyed by gravity weapons once served the Nether Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine of the 'Boundless Tide'. Now that the tide has receded and is closed, it is the only way to awaken the perpetual motion machine]
[Repair Difficulty: Easy]
[This platform is the port through which the infinite tide perpetual motion machine connects to the large ether circulation. Only when the platform and the perpetual motion machine are integrated can its power be fully exerted]
【……】
The space deep in the core of the subspace is vast and endless, but Ian's entire vision is attracted by the black nine-sided pyramid at its core.
"The sound of the eternal tide...and the endless tide."
The prophet whispered to himself, and couldn't help laughing: "It seems that the Star Gods also have their own art. The perpetual motion machine and the corresponding platform have code names. I thought they would be numbered 'Perpetual Motion No. xxx'."
With this thought welling up in my mind, the information returned by Star God's Gift added another logo [Nether Crystal Perpetual Motion 7.73 Version No. 812461]. As soon as the sign came out, Ian fell silent.
"...Version 7.73, more than 800,000 numbers?" After a while, Ian took a breath: "How many perpetual motion machines have they built!"
But there is one thing to say. If the Star God is really a super civilization that can travel across the universe and travel through endless time and space, then it is normal for there to be infinitely many perpetual motion machines in the infinite universe, but this is a bit beyond the ordinary. It’s common sense for people from these rural planets.
In short, the pyramid in front of Ian, which is about 100 meters high, is essentially a platform used to carry the 'perpetual motion machine'.
Now it seems that in addition to the authority, Youjing Perpetual Motion Machine also needs this platform to 'awaken'.
Slowly stepping forward, Ian stretched out his hand to touch the sound of the ancient tide - at the moment of touching, he felt something similar to what he saw when his guiding star was operating at full strength, the great ether circulation connecting infinite parallel time and space. phantom.
Countless cyan veins spread vertically and horizontally, running through endless time and space, existing in the past, present and future at the same time... And in such an endless and boundless ancient wave, there will still be some 'ports' that can be used by mortals... That is the 'Great Ether' The tidal sound of the circulation'.
Port of Nether Crystal Perpetual Machine.
Surging ether and energy continuously overflow from the outer layer of this pitch-black pyramid. It is the core of the entire subspace network, the source of all energy, and the abnormal source matter and spiritual energy field conditions of the entire New World. It's all about it.
However, it is just an ordinary energy dissipator and does not create a huge ether signal.
"This platform..."
Taking his hand back, Ian frowned slightly, then relaxed: "Can you really summon a perpetual motion machine?!"
Just now, Ian noticed that the connection between the eternal tide and the perpetual motion machine has not been interrupted. They are connected in a way that transcends time and space. As long as the conditions are met, it will appear.
Those permissions are naturally the permissions of intelligent life, the permissions of the Star God, the permissions of the Dragons of Terra, and the permissions of the ancestral true dragons.
Ian himself has the authority of the Star God, so he can contact the eternal tide, but he needs to find at least another authority to initiate a vote for intelligent life to start the perpetual motion machine.
It sounds like there is still a long way to go.
But in fact, Ian already has a huge advantage!
Because, if there is no Eternal Chaosheng platform to connect and call for perpetual motion machines, there is a high probability that the perpetual motion machines will not respond to anyone’s call!
Although Ian only has one permission now, he can gradually collect other permissions in the future. Only if he gets the permission can he actively call the perpetual motion machine. Others, even if they have more permissions than Ian, can do it earlier than Ian. Then they can't secretly summon the perpetual motion machine themselves!
Only Ian can!
"This thing is just a voting machine!"
After carefully studying the black pyramid for a long time, Ian couldn't help but complain, but a voting machine is a voting machine, and being able to master the voting machine means that he can grasp the timing of voting!
In this way, Ian can wait until his reputation is invincible and everyone admires him, then he can start voting and gain overwhelming support!
"This must be kept well."
Exhaling a breath, Ian called on the power of the ladder to hide the sound of the eternal tide in the deepest part of the subspace. Then he breathed a sigh of relief and looked around, looking for other legacy of the sky-falling spacecraft.
There are definitely a lot of sky-falling spacecraft legacies in the New World, and the sound of the ancient tide is only the most important one, but besides that, there are many more valuable things.
Take, for example, a huge fragment that Ian quickly found.
This fragment is similar to a tall tower, and its shape is similar to the spiral horn of a narwhal, except that the edges of each spiral are densely engraved with inscriptions. It is nearly a kilometer long, floating in subspace, and is only the size of a palm. Ian the Goblin is a grain of dust compared to it.
This weird tower arouses the power of the surrounding ladders and releases an extremely huge ether signal, and this signal... stimulates the ether in the entire subspace, causing the infinite energy transmitted by the ancient tide to be aroused and directed towards the entire The New World spread away.
And it is [Earthly Awakening], the scientific name is 'Cradle Fire Activation Signal Tower'.
As the name suggests, its function is to guide all fire species to awaken, breed, and evolve, and to activate the 'inheritance' in the fire organisms, turning 'warcraft' into 'someone civilized people', and turning the terrifying erect ape into 'human beings'.
It is broken, so it sometimes works and sometimes does not work. It needs the source material provided by the eternal tide to reach a certain peak before it can actively operate.
At this time, most of the monsters born in the new continent will be intelligent, not beasts. But obviously, the sound of the ancient tide is just a semi-finished product without the assistance of a perpetual motion machine. It can only passively dissipate some energy for self-activity. Therefore, awakening in the world cannot awaken the children of Warcraft every time, so it requires the Warcraft couple to create it again and again. Only future generations can try their luck and encounter a few good times, so that newborn children can also be wise.
"This one is also heavyweight."
At this moment, Ian was quite satisfied.
For him now, the eternal tide sound, the starting platform of the perpetual motion machine, is still something that will be used for a long time in the future, but awakening this signal tower in the world is the key to his rule of the New World!
You know, the reason why many World of Warcraft are sleeping is because not only do they not have the authority to control the Internet, but they also cannot guarantee that what they create is an ape or a "human" with wisdom.
Think about it carefully. A couple was pregnant for ten months and gave birth to a child. It turned out that the child was essentially a chimpanzee, even stupider. He couldn't understand human speech and didn't know the rules. How terrible.
But this kind of thing is the daily life in the New World. Many intelligent monsters have even hardened their hearts and regard those unintelligent descendants as 'slaves' and 'abandoned', leaving them to fend for themselves.
However, if Ian is willing, he can try to repair the remains of this tower and control the future of all Warcraft in his own hands. At the very least, he can create some intelligent Warcraft groups close to him.
By mastering this, he has mastered the lifeline of Warcraft, and with the help of Ian's power, Ian believes that after this matter is revealed at the New World Congress in a few days, basically no Warcraft will dare to resist him openly.
Any monster can only be considered a human being instead of an animal if it recognizes Ian as the king and is willing to become his people. If someone really wants to provoke, Ian will not show mercy and will completely eliminate the possibility of a certain ethnic group to have intelligent life and let them slowly become extinct.
They will be loyal for the sake of their descendants.
Sounds tyrannical? But the tyrant is right! Today's Terran people do not have a good attitude toward loud and angry rulers. They need force and violence to intimidate them in order to understand what you say.
Once entering the core of the subspace, the harvest was so rich. After Ian found the perpetual motion platform and the awakening tower, he was quite excited and continued to patrol the subspace, hoping to find some good things.
There really is!
In the core of the entire network, those network channels that are gradually materialized due to the energy of perpetual motion are themselves a huge wealth.
As the original transportation channel of the Star God, the subspace network channel also served as a warehouse, a shelter, and an energy transportation channel. What Ian wanted to prostitute for free was the design of the network channel itself.
The transmission of source matter, psychic energy and ether from the Heart of Terra is actually very time-consuming and consumes a lot of money. For example, Souyan mobilized the computing power of the Heart of Terra to assist in the New World. Even with the Chongling Armed Forces as an intermediary, Still nearly a quarter of the amount was wasted.
However, as long as the transmission method in the subspace network is copied, these losses are simply not worth mentioning - just like the significance of superconducting materials to electrical civilization, the network transmission system of the Star God is to Terra. Such a key!
"The Heart of Terra can be optimized again!"
Ian stretched out his hand happily and simply packaged the extremely complex design of the subspace network. Free prostitution just makes people smile!
After searching around again, Ian found that there were many things, such as the fragments of the Star God spacecraft, which had most likely been assimilated by the ladder system - there should be some fragments of the fallen spacecraft in the ladder tree outside.
Only the two relatively large things, the Perpetual Motion Platform and the Awakening Tower, can be preserved intact within it.
Boom, boom...
The black pyramid continuously pours out energy, just like the heart transports blood, transporting the huge source of spiritual matter to every corner of the New World. The sound of the tide is the heart, and its heartbeat is the sound of the endless sea of ether.
"That's pretty much it."
Ian, who had gained a lot, walked out of the subspace core happily.
Next, what he has to prepare for is the New World Intelligent Life Conference in a few days.
At that time, he will use the reason of "announcement of the arcane path" to copy all the "inherited memories" in all the monsters present... In this way, he and Adebert of the Silver Peak Leader will Get an extremely rich original practice material of 'meditation' and 'fighting energy'.
In this case, the research on fighting qi, magic and natural power, which was originally in its preliminary stages, will be supplemented with the most comprehensive basic information, and results may be produced soon.
After that, Ian will also be able to spread fighting spirit to these monsters and stimulate their potential.
In this way, as long as one or two years pass, with the popularity of Dou Qi and the growth of powerful monsters, the entire New World will become Ian Silverfeng's extremely thick 'inheritance'!
First update!
