When Tang Shidao saw the 'city' for the first time, he immediately felt a bad feeling in his heart. This was not because of safety issues, nor because of strength issues, but because this model was too abnormal. The source iron occupied by the mage was powerful
There are no cities on the planet, but there are cities here. This proves that... there has always been a power on the other side of the source that no one knows about.
Or.
Everyone vaguely knew it, but no one said anything.
As the 'dust mirror' of crystal fragments floated, Tang Shidao saw more things. Such a city was not one, but like small balls inside the planet, with thousands of them. Rather than a planet, it was better to say
, this is a spherical starship.
The interior of the city is roughly similar to a lair.
There are spider web-like passages.
There are hive-like strongholds.
There are snake- and ladybug-style vehicles.
I have a vague feeling that this place is similar to the academy planet on the other side of the source, and also resembles the model of a human-faced superstar in the supreme demon world.
population.
industry.
technology.
There is no lack of feeling.
Because the dust mirror was floating in the wrong position, Tang Shidao couldn't see much. Especially in places like 'industrial areas', the airflow was too strong and the dust mirror could easily be blown away, making it impossible to get close. Most of the dust mirrors landed somewhere other than the ground.
, but plants that emit a slight fragrance. They have some kind of respiratory system that can inhale dust in the air.
Not surprisingly, they are magical plants that clean the air.
originally.
They were just the lowest common magic plants, but they unintentionally ruined Tang Shidao's 'Looking Mirror' plan.
during this observation.
Very unexpected.
Tang Shidao discovered some figures that should not exist: the origin beasts of the War Faction!
They are not arrested.
They are free to walk.
Outside the star, mages are powerful and fighting to the death with the Source Iron Beast. Inside the star, the War Faction is safe and sound and operating in their hearts... Is this diplomacy? Or is it a traitor among the Source Beast? Or maybe the War Faction has always been in contact with the Source Iron Beast?
Seeing this scene, Tang Shidao felt uncomfortable for a while.
Although.
The big character Optimus has magic spells and will not die. However, this is always a war, not a game. If the war between the Origin Iron Beast and the Origin Crystal Beast is just a game, why would the major races in the void dedicate themselves?
power and resources. If it wasn't a game, what would happen if the source beasts were active in the star? Originally, the war faction and the exploration faction were two extremes, and they only temporarily united because of the war.
Now, how to explain?
At this time.
On the battlefield of the Source Iron Planet, Tang Shidao also returned from the role of "spectator", but his mood was very complicated.
That's for sure.
Things inside the source iron planet are not simple, but no matter what, the war faction must be involved. Even the exploration faction may know about it. The situation on the other side of the source is far more complicated than imagined.
"Mr. Long, excuse me."
Tang Shidao released his meditative state, and Cang Zhu and others naturally came to visit.
at the same time.
A group of complete strangers, old men, also came over, seemingly coming to observe as evaluators.
"Mr. Cangzhu, you are too polite. Please tell me directly, what is it?" Tang Shidao said calmly.
Cang Zhu was slightly startled.
Because, Mr. Long's attitude seems to be a little different. Before, he had a calm attitude, but now he has a vague feeling of being rejected.
"Did any of us do anything rude, Mr. Long?" Cang Zhu decided to ask the reason first.
"no."
"Then, why did Mr. Long suddenly have such an attitude of rejecting people thousands of miles away?" Cang Zhu was very straightforward and did not mince words.
"I discovered something while studying the Origin Iron Beast."
"Um."
"I think you know, but you didn't tell me. Or rather, you didn't tell anyone else."
"Oh..." Cang Zhu was speechless for a moment.
"Maybe you need to keep it secret, maybe these things should not be made public. However, since no one can trust each other, talking is unnecessary. I am a scholar, and I only study what I want to study. Mr. Cangzhu, what do you want to say?
If not, then I'm afraid we have nothing to talk about." Tang Shidao looked at everyone's expressions and believed that these people knew something that outsiders didn't know.
"This..." Cang Zhu couldn't answer.
There are too many secrets on the other side of the source.
Even he himself doesn't know all the secrets.
suddenly.
One of the old men who followed said: "Mr. Long, the other side of the source is not as simple as you think. There are many things that we cannot stop."
"Well, what does this have to do with me?"
"We come here this time to ask you to do a favor. With your special ability, help us study the method of 'death' the Source Iron Beast. You know, the Source Iron Beast is almost unkillable on the Source Iron Planet. You must use other methods to kill the Source Iron Beast."
Isolate them by means. To my surprise, you killed the Origin Iron Beast on the ground of the Origin Iron Planet. If we can master this method, even if there is one more person, we will have more strength."
"Very direct."
"Of course, we don't want to waste time, and we don't want to waste your time."
"Before I answer you, let me ask you a question first: If you kill the Light Source Iron Beast, will the war end?" Tang Shidao said calmly.
"No, there is still..."
"If we kill the light source crystal beast again, will the war be over?" Tang Shidao interrupted and asked again.
"..." The old man fell silent.
He couldn't answer.
because.
"You know it won't end, right?" Tang Shidao said calmly, and then added: "I suddenly understood why the names Aoling, Chanjiu, and Da Kuihuang did not appear on the battlefield. Because they also knew,
Helping you win is not the end, right?"
Everyone was speechless.
Just as the old man was about to speak, Cang Zhu extended his hand to signal and shook his head.
"Sorry, I have no interest in the struggle for power and resources. If the source iron beast harms the void, I think I will join the ranks of defending the void. However, I will not help anyone fight for territory on the other side of the source. I know
, there are some things that are not convenient for you to explain or make public. However, since you are keeping your secrets, please take your responsibility. I am not aware of anything and have no obligation to help you." Tang Shidao frankly refused.
Cang Zhu smiled slightly bitterly.
In the end, everyone had no choice but to exit the camp iron cave.
Tang Shidao is still studying the Origin Iron Beast and is planning to leave soon.
Half a day later.
Cang Zhu came alone.
"Is something wrong?"
"Well, Mr. Long. Elder Yizhi asked me to bring you some words." Cang Zhu paused and then said: "Elder Yizhi said: Some people are destined to be lonely travelers, not bound by any force. Cooperation and non-
Cooperation, it doesn’t matter, I just hope Mr. Long can remember that the void is our home, that’s enough.”
"Any more?"
"Well, there are some more words. Elder Yizhi also said: The Great Cursed Human Emperor once had a fierce battle with the War Faction. He used a kind of power from the 'black world'. At that time, he showed some special things
, Mr. Long can check it out if he is interested."
"I've seen it, just tell me."
"The meaning of Yizhibianzi, the literal meaning of the other side of the source is 'the other side', which is more important. Here we know two levels, the first is our own ordinary level. The second is all that we are separated from.
Ability, the level of power. The Great Cursed Human Emperor once demonstrated the third level, and he divided power into two levels."
"You mean, there is a third level here?"
"Please imagine for yourself, Mr. Long. We have some kind of agreement and cannot tell you anything. However, you can find the truth on your own, and we will never stop you. Maybe the war faction may stop you. However, you will definitely not retreat.
Elder Yizhi asked me to tell you: If you like it, please freely pursue the truth you want to know. If someone stops you, kill him if you can. Even if Elder Yizhi himself stops you, you are welcome.
Just kill him."
"It sounds like there are no rules at all here." Tang Shidao understood somewhat.
"This is war, Mr. Long."
Tang Shidao listened and vaguely understood something in his heart. In the Supreme Demon Realm, the Master Craftsmen Guild of Human Face Superstar also inquires about 'authority'. People who do not have enough authority cannot know too many secrets. Human Face Superstar belongs to the 'Convention' to handle all matters.
, there is no private will. Here, the exploration faction and the war faction are likely to reach some kind of agreement with the 'third party'.
It is not clear what the agreement is, but the content of this agreement cannot be made public.
Otherwise, it will be another more terrible consequence.
It was quiet for a long time.
Tang Shidao said slowly: "The Source Iron Beast is more like a man-made thing."
"Oh." Cang Zhu didn't look too surprised. It seemed that he didn't know but he wasn't surprised by the result.
"They have life and self. However, they are still created by some kind of power. My only spell 'Crystal Life' cannot create real life, but it can occupy and assimilate life. In the Crystal Fantasy, the races that have crystal life, they
It was born randomly because of some special natural law. Mine is a spell, not a natural force. Hypothetically speaking, the demon is like an iron block, the crystal life is like an artificial intelligence brain, and the source iron beast is like a real life."
"Like?" Cang Zhu noticed an important point.
"Yes, like, not sure 'yes' yet. So, they still have a weakness. You can imagine that the Origin Iron Beast is like a better artificial intelligence brain. It is not afraid of destruction, but of intrusion and cutting off connections.
In other words, I didn’t use my power to kill the Origin Iron Beasts, but invaded and cut off their connection with something, so they couldn’t be resurrected.”
"Thank you." Cang Zhu understood.
There is no cooperation between the two parties.
However, Mr. Long has already explained the most effective method.
"Please come back, I'll be leaving in a few days." After finishing speaking, Tang Shidao indicated that he didn't want to talk any more.
"Well, thank you again. Mr. Long, please be careful of the war faction. I don't want to say bad things about them. I just want to say that even if we cooperate to this extent on the battlefield, we still can't be friends and are still killing each other. In addition, explore
Some people in the faction must also be careful. When we stay on the battlefield, we don’t want to think too much, we just fight.”
"I want to ask, is the void your home?" Tang Shidao asked the last question.
"yes."
"Well, that's enough." Tang Shidao waved his hand, and Cang Zhu also left.
Let’s talk like this.
Things have become a little clearer, but there is still a fog covering it.
You can imagine.
The battlefield on the other side of the source is very complicated, and there are many factions. Some people stick to it, some seek cooperation, and some even betray, collaborate with the enemy, and surrender to the enemy. People like Cangzhu don't want to participate in political things. He only acts as a soldier and stays on the battlefield.
Go up and stop everything that attacks the void.
However, Cangzhu cannot represent the entire exploratory group.
Even said.
The elders of Yizhou can only represent a small group of people and cannot represent the entire group. If there is a third party, they will only sign some kind of agreement, but it is not considered a cooperation or an enemy. It is only a delicate balance between the two.
In a war between one country and another, you will live and die. In a war between three kingdoms, the one who fights first will suffer. In the four kingdoms, five kingdoms and six kingdoms, the most important thing is to unite vertically and horizontally.
The war faction and the exploration faction are enemies. If a third party is added, things will be completely different.
"Let's go and see... that kind of city." Tang Shidao didn't want to think too much.
