A heavy rain caused the official road leading to Wusha Port to be filled with water, and the entire mountain gorge turned into a temporary river. In the rushing filthy river, one could even see the corpses of wild beasts and floating trees in the surrounding mountains and forests. Even if
It would be difficult for an aquatic monster to survive in this situation.
The driver of the car muttered that he should have bought an 'amphibious vehicle' or even an 'alchemy speeder' that had appeared in recent years, so as not to be stuck in an unexpected situation, but he was also happy to rest for a few days.
The official road of Wusha Port was not like this originally. It was an earthquake a few years ago that changed the course of the Puxiu River, and the canyon where the official road is located collapsed a little, so it turned into the current rushing appearance on rainy days.
, causing many travelers and adventurers to be stopped here.
Wilder Ellen, Marquis Ellen, who hid his identity and conducted a secret investigation, was also one of those blocked.
Looking at the billowing clouds and rain and fog outside the car window, and the constant roar of thunder echoing in his ears, the head of the Ellen family, who has been having a hard time recently, can't help but feel a little lost, wondering if he has done many wrong things in his life, so he always
It would be so unlucky.
This middle-aged aristocrat with a handsome face who could fully imagine his handsome appearance in his youth recalled scenes from his youthful and frivolous days.
Dazzled by desire, he went on an unethical trip with his cousin at home; he knew that his family was in a lot of trouble, but he still married Alice without thinking about the consequences; he clearly loved his wife, but because of his guilt and guilt towards his cousin,
Desire still cheated, and he did not apologize afterwards. Instead, out of a sense of self-destruction, he sat back and watched his wife having an affair with his brother...
Then, there was the death of his wife, the marriage to his second wife Avelina, and his youngest son... The one who obviously did nothing wrong, but he blindly transferred the depression in his heart to him, ignored and ignored him,
Even hostile children.
Isengard...
Maybe he deserves it. I'm sorry for my cousin, I'm sorry for Alice, I'm sorry for Patrick, I'm sorry for Ethan...
But actually these are fine.
For the nobles of the imperial capital, even if these things are three or four times more serious, they are just a joke after dinner at most. If the gossip in the Ellen family has such a small weight, it will not even appear in the private chats of the ladies, because it is really
It's so boring and common that it's not worth mentioning at all.
Corruption? Chaos? In fact, that is not the case... The life of aristocrats actually pays great attention to self-discipline. People who are not self-disciplined cannot practice sublimation skills at all, nor can they become strong. If you are not strong, you cannot be a noble. It is better to say that you are second-rate.
The 'thinking model' required by the level will completely filter out the bastards who fish in troubled waters and muddle along.
The nobles of the imperial capital don't care because it really doesn't matter.
Intra-clan unions are common. There is nothing wrong with pursuing what you love. Emotional issues and personal morality.
As for the final disregard for children...
To be honest, there are only a few people in the Terra continent who can be good parents, and it is even harder to find them among the nobles. If they are all condemned, it is hard to imagine how many people this questioning will affect.
In fact, outsiders don't care at all about the 'common' disturbances in the Ellen family, but Marquis Wilder himself has complicated thoughts.
This trip to the Atlan breeding ground can be regarded as an 'audit mission' that he specially applied for. In addition to the superficial 'auditing the ring situation of the Atlan breeding ground', he will also secretly investigate the internal affairs of the Setal royal family.
plan. But at the same time, he also planned to take this opportunity to leave the Northland for a while and enjoy the peace and quiet.
In particular, he has found out... that the experimental plan that happened to his family and used 'Isengard' as the carrier was not actually an experiment initiated in the Axel era.
That happened more than seventy years ago... He was not very old at that time. The head of the Ellen family in that area... was his name called Anbo? Or Aimer? Anyway, he was probably his great-grandfather. In fact, Wilder
I don't quite remember the name of my grandfather's ancestor. He was cooperating with the black tyrant at that time. What exactly they wanted to do, even my younger generation couldn't guess.
But now, he has found some clues... The blood of the royal family and the blood of the Light-Eroding Dragon are fused, and they have reached a perfect balance. The flaming blood of the Sun Bird is buried in the darkness of the Light-Eroding Dragon, accumulating its own
The power of the parasitic beast also allowed the parasitic beast that could only rely on the power of other creatures to sublime for the first time to launch self-sublimation without parasitism...
The cooperation between the Setar royal family and the Ellen family can enhance the essential strength of the Ellen family's bloodline inheritance, and the in-depth combination of the Sun Bird bloodline creates a possibility.
If Isengard has the opportunity to become a strong man at the peak of the fourth energy level, he even has the right...
The right to become an emperor.
The right of [top seat].
It is often said that the strong men at the fifth energy level are the supreme beings in this world. They have mastered the power like gods and can transform the world at will. They sit on the top of the earth and overlook the rise and fall of the human kingdom.
However, all the great aristocratic families that have inherited the true form of the bloodline and have reached the peak of the fourth level, or have produced strong men of the fifth level... all know one thing.
The fifth energy level is not the real top.
The fifth energy level cannot be equated with the [top seat].
The fourth energy level is actually the limit that the magic potion can reach. It is just a key to the way to sublimation. Only a strong man who has integrated the source matter and spiritual energy and has forged the etheric body can benefit from the magic potion.
Discover your own path from the key, and then gradually perfect the etheric true body, which is the so-called 'etheric true body'.
The moment the etheric true body is completely formed and perfect, they can touch the edge of the fifth energy level.
At that time, they can be called 'half fifth energy level'. These half fifth energy levels can use weapons, props, technology, ambushes and various means to try to obtain those fifth energy levels.
Warcraft, the materials of those ancient and powerful ancient dragons, absorb their incredible power and completely transform themselves into extraordinary beings that transcend their limits.
However, no matter whether they are successful or not, these half-fifth energy levels cannot become the real ‘top’.
Because, these powers are all trophies after all...even if they are swallowed, even if they are all turned into one's own power, they may not be able to match one's own 'heart' and 'spiritual energy'.
The true top requires an essential transformation.
Originating from oneself, it is the seed of transformation that makes oneself a unique super being in this world.
Feiyan calls it the 'Supreme Heritage', Gantryggum calls it the 'Wish to Seek Heaven', the City of Learning thinks it is the 'Seed of Transcendence', and Yanjiang thinks it is the 'Sacred Fire'
, Far Coast Island has left a record of "Xin Yuan" in the most ancient classics.
The Setar Empire called it the ‘Mountain Top’, and Canaan Moore thought it was the ‘Contract of All Things’. The Cangtian Royal Court did not name it, but the name of their country already summed it up with the word ‘Cangtian’.
Apocalypse...Shiyuan...Changge...
It has many, many names, but what remains the same is that on the land of Terra, there are eleven major forces that have never cut off the inheritance of the fifth-level powerhouses. When they are at their weakest, there will definitely be a fifth-level powerhouse.
The inheritor exists, and that strong person must be so powerful that one person can stop other countries from thinking about all-out war, and can intimidate the strongest person in all of Terra.
An existence named [Top Seat].
[Top Seat] can be passed down and is also the most powerful fifth level.
But becoming the top requires not knowledge and hard work, but the simplest and most stable 'qualification of blood and soul'.
Similar blood. Similar soul structure. Because the former is simpler, a huge force with blood as its core has been formed.
The blood of the royal family and the king's blood will not be easily leaked, especially the blood that contains the key to the bright light, and it will not be given away easily, because it may create an existence that can compete for the top position.
But……
"Avelina..."
With a deep sigh in his heart, Wilder became determined.
With the eyes of all the countries in the continent focused on the large ruins of the Xenogeneic Research Institute in Canaan Moore, he will go to the Atlan breeding ground recorded in the family secrets, and to the pre-era place that is said to be the most well-preserved and fully developed.
In the ruins, look for the possible truth.
There, great-grandfather conducted the first joint experiment with the Black Tyrant... At the same time, the secret of the original 'Top Seat' is hidden there.
There may be some truth there.
As for his own child, Isengard...he is at the center of the world's turmoil.
Relics of Pre-Apocalyptic Civilization at Moore's Half Moon Lake in Canaan - He's going his own way.
That's fine too.
He will become the second level before the age of eighteen. He will grow very fast, many times faster than himself. He has the blood of the royal family, and he... has the qualifications to become the emperor.
Although it is not his turn in this generation, the three princes and princesses are all heroes, and there will be other alternatives in the future, but Isengard does hold the key, which is why he was defeated by the monsters of the Setar royal family, those with human bodies.
The prince and princess value him and treat him as a true 'relative'.
"But I am not a father."
Marquis Wilder looked out the window and stared at the rolling clouds in the sky.
The rain gradually stopped.
Ian was sitting in the hall outside the laboratory of Jin Deng's mansion. The holographic projections on the four walls made him feel as if he was in the sky outside the World Tree Capital. At this moment, a heavy rain was sweeping across the wilderness, with rain clouds rolling all over the sky, and even more
Thunder arcs shuttled between the clouds.
This is all true - on the tenth level of World Tree Capital, which is also the lowest level, you can see such rain clouds. But other higher levels cannot see the most common cumulonimbus clouds at all.
At most, we can only look at the noctilucent clouds located in the middle region of the atmosphere.
In order to satisfy the luxurious desire of kings and rich people to experience nature, there is such a thing as a holographic projection wall... It is no different from the grassland projection and rainforest projection in the middle area of the imperial capital.
Even the earth is similar. Ian still remembers that when he was studying in the orbital colonial city, the separation wall outside was also projecting the scenery of the earth, rotating on two Mondays. At that time, he would happily
These projected scenery will be recorded and compared, and we will prepare to visit the real shooting scene when we return to Earth in the future.
But now, in Terra and Canaan Moore, he has no such intention.
Compared with these ordinary curiosity, Ian cares more about the smooth advancement of his friends.
"You will definitely succeed. What I see is a smooth road."
This was the conclusion that Ian came to after using his precognitive vision before Isengard was about to take the potion - but even without the ability to predict, he believed that his friend could easily pass this level.
The only question is, how long does it take to 'succeed'?
"I forgot all about it."
While waiting in the hall, Ian sighed in his heart: "It's not just me. With the help of the silver chip, I can regulate all the essence within half an hour after taking the potion, and organize the structure of the essence in my body in order."
...This is obviously unrealistic."
Even if you are a genius, it will take about a day or two to fully master your new abilities after taking the potion and let your body adapt to the sublimated body. However, this is also the fastest speed. The average time is four or five days.
about.
The day after tomorrow is the day when the group sets out for Half Moon Lake. Of course, the exploration of the ruins is not yet so fast, but if they can master the ability early, they will have more time to plan the exploration operation.
"How long did it take you to advance to the second level and control your abilities?"
Thinking of this, Ian asked several other friends present.
"About two weeks or so." Master Gesai said frankly for a relatively long time. Although he was talented in sublimation skills, he was not as outstanding as alchemy.
"About... four or five days?" The elf girl pointed her lips with her finger, frowned and recalled, telling a time. Anfa has dragon blood and dragon soul, but she is not a complete real dragon. Her advancement is different from that of ordinary humans.
Unlike real dragons, both difficulty and strength are very different. Four or five days is already a very extreme figure.
"I don't know. I have never thought about this problem!" Xio answered very impressively, which was indeed very Xio.
To be honest, the pure-blooded true dragon's advancement to the second level may be just a matter of sleeping. As for how long this sleep lasts... no one knows.
Especially Xiou must have experienced a lot of torture when she was young, but she didn't know it but was normal.
"Ian, how long did it take you?" At this moment, Xiou also asked back, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, and both Anfa and Master Gesai turned their heads curiously.
Xiou and Anfa knew that Ian had made a breakthrough before the battle. In a life-and-death crisis, the speed of mastering his own essence would speed up, so they were curious about how fast Ian was. Master Gesai knew that Ian had already advanced to the second level.
Energy level, he wanted to hear whether what Ian said was the real data.
"Two days. It seems less than one day, maybe more than one day. After all, I am a prophet, and I have already made the best preparations."
Ian didn't want to lie to his friends, but he also knew that saying 'half an hour' would not be believed - if he asked someone how many days it took them to write their graduation thesis, and they said 'half an hour', that would be really true.
People will roll their eyes.
"It's amazing."
Anfa praised, although the time mentioned by Ian is completely extreme data, shouldn't a prophet be like this? And Xio also nodded seriously: "It's already very good, it's really amazing, Ian!"
The white-haired boy squinted at the red-haired dragon girl... Xio obviously doesn't understand this knowledge at all!
Now Isengard has entered the laboratory for five hours, which is longer than expected. Even the celebration lunch prepared has been postponed to afternoon tea or even a dinner, but Ian can be sure that the other party's aura is very stable.
There are even... some weird 'powers'!
——Is the inheritance of the Eclipse Dragon Refining so powerful? This fluctuation of source quality is only a little worse than when I advanced to the second level of Immovable Castle.
Narrowing his eyes, the water-colored light in Ian's eyes flashed away. He thought thoughtfully: "It seems that Ethan's blood is indeed extraordinary... There were many abnormalities when he was at the first energy level.
Ability, now that I have advanced to the second energy level... I must have unlocked some new abilities."
Ian recalled the various anomalies that Isengard displayed with blood in the Great Labyrinth of the South China Sea... Although most of them could be explained by the ability to corrode the light dragon, the anomalies were far beyond the ordinary first-level ones.
The lethal whip of blood and fire, as well as the 'strong authority' that can hinder the operation of the Ether Armed Sub-strain, are difficult to explain by his status as the unappreciated second son of the Ellen family.
The anomaly... is obviously found in the Setar royal family, Mrs. Ellen, Avelina Ellen!
"If you have time, when Ethan goes to Xia Hui, it's time to let him cooperate with the experiment."
Thinking of this, Ian even felt a little sad for the blood of Isengard that he used as ammunition for charging water guns - now it seems that the blood is worth thousands of gold, but he consumed it casually!
But it's not a big problem. After all, the blood is gone, but the person is still there.
At this moment, as Ian and Anfa raised their heads at the same time, the door of the laboratory opened slightly.
A blond boy with a weak look on his face, but whose aura suddenly changed, appeared in front of everyone.
"Sorry to keep you waiting for so long..."
Isengard, who has reached the second level and has deeper eyes, smiled and raised his hand to everyone: "Because there were some unexpected accidents... so it was completed a little late."
"And, Ian."
Immediately after saying hello, the blond boy immediately called his friend in a low voice: "Do you have time? I have some questions that I don't know how to express..."
"Can you come over and help me take a look?"
