"Add the 'Light Giant' experiment to the to-do list."
Ian nodded. He was very satisfied with his idea, and Adlbert's suggestions were also very useful, so he patted the other party on the shoulder: "Next, it's time to prepare for the advancement of Prince Michael. I have the relevant equipment, he will be here in a while, I have to accompany him, please."
"No problem. Although I don't know when you formed an alliance with him, it is definitely beneficial to have a fifth level in the empire who supports us."
Albert agreed happily, and then asked casually: "When will he arrive?"
Ian: "Ten."
Adlbert nodded: "Ten hours? Then there is still time to prepare. I will sort it out first..."
Ian: "Nine."
Albert: "???"
Nine seconds later, Mikael arrived at the Silver Peak Territory under the rather speechless gaze of Adlbert.
"Did I come at a bad time?"
Mikael was a little confused. He felt that both Mahdi and Adlbert seemed to be looking at him with some emotion. He always felt as if he had made some mistake: "Is this Adlbert? Thorin The inheritor of the Grand Duke's skills, the first true dead king? He really looks like a talented person."
With that said, he smiled and stretched out his hand to Adalbert: "Hello, I'm Mikael, nice to meet you."
"No, you came just in time."
Ian patted Adlbert on the shoulder, letting him still be immersed in 'Huh? Is he here? 'The white-haired researcher responded to this thought and stretched out his hand to shake Mikael's hand.
Adlbert complained: "You came too fast... Many facilities need to be debugged. I have to go to the virtual realm computing center for maintenance first."
Adlbert really doesn't have a good impression of the Setal royal family, because the empire is the culprit who oppressed Archduke Thorin and made him make extreme decisions. At the same time, the Setal royal family deliberately let Thorin go in order to obtain relevant experimental data. Duke Lin became the deceased king.
In fact, according to what Ian had said about the 'spiritual beacon' before, he even suspected that the Grand Duke Thorin was a very large-scale social experiment site for the empire. Like natural disasters, it cannot be evaded or resisted. Therefore, the entire Grand Duchy gathered together and their thoughts were extremely concentrated, so they could quickly create the 'Dead King'.
In a sense, the Dead King is nothing more than a pre-experimental creation of the 'Psychic Beacon', a 'sacrifice' for the empire's soul research.
As an ally of the Silver Peak Leader, Adelbert does not object or even supports him, but it is impossible to expect Adelbert to have a good attitude toward him.
Mikael was also very aware of this. He looked around the Silver Peak Leader's laboratory with great interest and found that the level of professionalism here was no less than or even better than the Empire's Central Laboratory.
Obviously, Ian built Silver Peak Territory's laboratory to the highest standards. He made so much money, basically all of it was invested in the territory.
Moreover, was Adlbert, this talented researcher ranked among the top three in the Empire's highest-level 'Rare Talent List' (the top two being Ian and Mahdi), actually been Ian's deputy from the beginning? The relationship seems to be very good.
It's not surprising, and it's no wonder that the Silver Peak Leader has developed so fast. The two most talented geniuses of this generation in the empire should work together to achieve this kind of results!
"Speaking of this."
Adlbert was a bit outspoken. He looked at Ian, then at Mikael, and asked in confusion: "I just wanted to ask, isn't the blood of the top still with Axel? How should this second prince advance to the fifth level?"
"He got other blood from the ancient ruins."
Ian is also concise and concise. There are too many things to talk about in this aspect. From the ancestor of the true dragon to the origin of the true dragon, he can talk about a lot: "But obviously, the blood of the top is not very suitable for the sun god. Bird, that’s why he wants to prepare more, and I think our Silver Peak leaders have enough resources to help him advance.”
"I see." Although Adebert was curious, he would not dig into the current situation. He looked at Mikael with some doubts. "However, in this way, the empire will have four fifth-level people." ...The two fifth-level members of the royal family are comparable to the heyday of the late emperor’s reign!”
"Could it be that the empire is about to prosper? Moreover, if the prince really wants to advance, why not go to the imperial capital? It is safer there..."
At this point, with Adlbert's intelligence and the little information that Ian had revealed in the past, he thought of something for a moment, and his expression became shocked: "Wait, could it be said that Mi Cael, Ian...are you going to..."
Ian and Mikael looked at him with smiles.
Albert took a breath.
Mikael, who could obviously rely on advancing to the fifth level and inherit the throne, insisted on hiding in the Silver Peak Territory to advance... No matter how unbelievable it was, there was only one possibility.
"You...are going to rebel!"
"Isn't this our purpose?"
Ian was a little disapproving: "Adlbert, we are building the Silver Peak Territory and taking control of the South Ridge. We have done so many preparations. Isn't it just to wait for the right time to become independent? Isn't that a rebellion?"
"Now, it's just that we don't wait, but create this opportunity ourselves. In order to fight against the tyranny and terrorist plan of the Setar royal family, His Highness Mikael, who understands the righteousness well, is willing to take the incomparable risk to advance to the fifth level. level, to rebel against his father.”
“This is our best chance at Southridge independence.”
With that said, Ian raised his head, and his eyes seemed to be able to penetrate the walls and directly see the top of Silver Peak bathed in the disaster of light: "A new era is about to come. We should not simply wait for the opportunity, but to ourselves grasp."
"He wants to advance to the fifth level just to defeat Axel."
"And I, of course, want to help him. Not just to be an enemy of the empire, but also to open the iron curtain that is pressing on our heads and usher in a new era."
Unexpected and reasonable.
After listening to Ian's confession, Adalbert looked at Mikael with quite complicated eyes.
He frowned, then sighed: "It's indeed time..."
The arrival of the Disaster of Light did make him vaguely understand that a major event that could change the direction of history in the next hundred years was about to come, and many of the plans and technologies developed by his lord were indeed prepared for 'that day'.
Whether it is the Heart of Terra, the arcane path, the development of various fighting qi, the act of conquering the new continent, or even the construction of the Worshiping Spirit Sect and the Dragon Worship Sect, all are in order to wait until one day, the Silver Peak Territory loses its 'empire' This direct superior's suppression can unleash unimaginable potential in an instant, preparing to become one of the major forces that can control Terra.
Adlbert thought that Silver Peak Leader was well prepared. Now, except for those big forces with the fifth energy level, none of the small countries and local forces with the fourth energy level can defeat the Silver Peak Leader.
The time has come.
But when 'that day' really comes, Adlbert still feels a little hasty - if possible, he hopes that Ian will also advance to the fifth level and be sure of victory before taking action.
"It is impossible to win every time you take action. Even if you are a prophet, you can fight with confidence when you see that the winning rate is more than 50%."
Seeing his friend's doubts, Ian chuckled and shook his head: "Mikael's advancement is also very meaningful to me. Although I have completely understood the nature of the etheric true body, the fourth The gap between the first energy level and the fifth energy level is still not very clear."
"With Mikael's experience, I will be more confident when I advance to the fifth level."
"I believe in your plan." This is the only thing that Adalbert has 100% confidence in Ian. He doesn't say much, and plans to go directly to the virtual realm to adjust the Terra of Silver Peak Territory. The central calculation center is preparing to assist Mikael in his advancement.
After Adalbert left, Ian looked at Mikael with curiosity on his face: "Where is your 'Blood of the Top'?"
"Without this, if the fourth level wants to advance to the fifth level, I'm afraid it's just the weakest level, right?"
That being said, Ian actually wants to know whether the 'blood of the throne' in Mikael's hand is related to the 'authority' that the remains of the ancestor true dragon and mentor true dragon may have.
The four dragon kings may indeed have the authority of the ancestral true dragon, but there are five ancestral true dragons! Ian didn't notice that any dragon king was higher than other dragon kings, which meant that there was indeed an ancestral true dragon whose authority was left in the starry sky.
In one life, I went to look for it, but didn't find it. Now that I think about it, Mikael probably got it.
"This 'blood of the top' will appear when I need it."
In this regard, Mikael rarely gave up. He smiled at Ian who raised his brows and said: "Okay, don't look at me with this look. It really only comes when I need it." He just appeared, as if he had self-awareness..."
"You have also seen those ancient true dragons, haven't you? Their remaining power cannot be completely controlled by us. I also reached a contract with him to obtain his power."
Although he betrayed himself, Mikael also admitted that the blood of his throne came from the 'ancient true dragon'... Also, if it were not for the power of the true dragon, what else in the world could replace the original power of the Sun Bird? The blood of the top seat allows Mikael to advance to the fifth level?
"I see……"
And Ian also thought of the 'Blazing Star Dragon' in the Alien Research Institute. He had obtained the other party's marrow, and also had a copy of the 'blood of the throne', and was able to share the 'ancient dragon heart' left by his teacher. Nuclear unity has become the confidence for him to achieve the fifth energy level.
Now, Ian no longer needs to obtain resources from outside. As soon as the conditions are met, he can start preparing to advance. And Mikael's experience is part of his condition.
"I understand." Ian nodded slightly: "It will take some time to prepare the auxiliary measures for you, or even several days. During this time, you should maintain your condition, and I will open up part of the arcane path for you. Confidential information.”
"Although it is said that the faster the better, Axel cannot be prepared more, but if your condition is not good, we will never be able to defeat the opponent."
"I never thought about defeating my father."
Mikael shook his head and said something quite demoralizing. But his next sentence can be heard as iron-clad determination: "I always act to stop him, even if the cost is my life."
"……to be honest."
Frowning slightly, Ian asked in confusion: "Why are you targeting Axel so much? In the final analysis, he is your father. Even if he is crazy and wants to modify the minds of Terran people and make some kind of spiritual beacon, but... for For you, the heir, this is not the kind of thing that needs to be stopped at the cost of your life."
"As long as you become the fifth level and negotiate with Axel, he should give up - in the future I foresee, even if you fail, Axel will not continue the plan. I am not sure about this Is it the result of Axel being severely injured by you, or your rebellion itself made him feel disheartened, but I think you don’t have to be so bent on death.”
"Because that's who I am. That's who we are. I won't back down and neither will my father."
Mikael turned around, his back to Ian, and said calmly: "Ian, haven't you ever thought about it? Who was this mind modification and soul modification technology first used on?"
"My father may not be a good person, but he is a really good father. It's just a pity that many self-righteous 'good' things are not really good, especially for the children themselves."
"Also, even if he is not a good person, he is not a 'cowardly bad person' who dares not do anything to himself."
Ian's eyes widened slightly, and he suddenly remembered what Marquis Barton had said to him not long ago.
——Axel’s original character was not like this, but rather a gentler, even cowardly nature.
——The personalities of the prince and princess also experienced some strange and abnormal changes.
——The eldest son of the emperor, Aina, has a character that is upright and kind, so kind that he is a little abnormal, and even a little bit unlike the direct heir of a big power.
All in all, combined with the Setal royal family's long-term research on spiritual and even soul aspects, the answer is already available.
"He transformed himself. He was his original guinea pig."
Exhaling a breath, Ian whispered: "He has also transformed you. The eldest prince who chases his dreams and makes many friends; the eldest prince who is ambitious and pursues his true love; and you, who is both determined and capable The second prince who is compassionate, has mercy on the world, and is willing to do this."
"In addition, even Mrs. Ellen... she also acted for true love, first for her lover, and later for her children, with determination and no hesitation."
"Yes, let me say that no matter how good the blood of the Setar royal family is, everyone should not be so good. They should always be a little inferior, right? That's it. From the beginning, you have never been 'weak' or 'cowardly'. 's right."
"Even Axel, the landkeeper, does not have the power of 'confusion' and 'hesitation'."
"Yes. Originally, I just thought that this was some kind of transformation made by my father for our good. I am no longer myself, but I don't think there is anything wrong with my current 'self'. "
With his back to Ian, Mikael said slowly: "However, after communicating with you, I understand that my father treated himself and us as experimental subjects from the beginning."
"A guinea pig in a vast social experiment to transform all of Terra."
"Originally, it was just to solve the loneliness in the Sun Bird's bloodline and the madness caused by being imprisoned... Later, it will make the emperor like an emperor and the king like a king."
"Then, there are 'dreams', 'ambition' and 'determination', as well as other 'friendships', 'true love' and 'kindness'... All kinds of qualities, all kinds of hearts, can be inlaid in the heart, inlaid In the soul, let us never have any choice from the beginning.”
"I thought that this was the responsibility and obligation that the royal family had to bear - with such power, why do we qualify to have the power to freely shape our characters? Our madness and anger can destroy the world and kill countless people. Tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of people, we should be suppressed by this natural restraint and put on the shackles of self-restraint."
"But now, my father plans to impose this shackles on everyone. This shackles may be his love. He thinks this is the best choice for all Terrans, but it is not like this."
"As he treated himself. He didn't become the best version of himself, he just became... not the most successful emperor."
At this point, Mikael laughed with relief: "Ian, to be honest, I am not challenging my father for the sake of all mankind - maybe the 'determination', 'kindness' and 'kindness' that my father imposed on me Compassion and other qualities made me make this choice, but as a fourth level, eliminating all influences, I still want to do it."
Clenching his fists and lowering his head, Mikael's voice was low and subtle, almost murmuring: "I just feel that."
"Now, it's time to save him (the father)."
Ian was silent about Mikael's determination.
"Transformation, self?"
In the same way, he reinvented himself again and again. For some reason, the 'Ian in this life' came to mind.
His life, his anger, his joy, his loves and hates, his regrets, his happiness and despair, his final determination and hope...
The blue cross star shines.
The guiding star shines brightly, illuminating all the darkness in the heart.
"That's probably not a bad thing...but sure enough."
Sighing and turning around, Ian suddenly understood Mikael's feelings: "Indeed, maybe from the beginning, I didn't have any choice. It's just that as myself, I don't reject such a future, and I even enjoy it. This feeling of carrying something forward, just because it’s fun.”
"Although I am a prophet, I am not a confused person who is entangled in fate and cannot escape. I am the ruler of fate. Mikael, I hope you are too."
"At your word, I believe I am."
The blond Sun Bird smiled slightly.
Above the sky, the torrent of light washes over the world.
Soon, time flowed like light, and three days passed.
