"...Login restrictions?"

Ian was stunned for a moment, and then he couldn't help laughing: "Oops, I have been reincarnated for so long that I have forgotten that this happened on Earth in my previous life - how can an important work area allow tourists to enter casually? They must have permission."

"As for my authority..."

Raising his head, Ian looked up at the huge keel that seemed to be right in front of him, but was actually far away in the horizon.

The 'Alien Research Institute' in the subspace labyrinth is so huge that it is unimaginable. The super-giant keel alone, which is at least a thousand meters high, is amazing enough, and the twelve thousand-meter-high towers surrounding the keel are even more impressive. Towering like mountains, they surround the keel and form a twelve-prism space.

If other Terran people came here, they would definitely think that this was a pre-era civilization preparing to create their own true dragon, right? Or maybe they disintegrated the corpse of a real dragon, leaving only the skeleton to continue studying.

But in fact, neither is right.

This is ‘transformation’.

Ian could see that the real dragon with only white bones left was definitely not dead. He just fell into silence. In other words, its "flesh" with only white bones left was not dead yet. It was incredibly powerful. The vitality of life is like the vibration of the heart, constantly shaking the entire subspace maze, causing the 'ancient dragon heart core' in his body to resonate with it, making Ian, who clearly has no heart, feel a ferocious and 'heart palpitations'!

Phantom heartache. This feeling was actually quite wonderful, which made him laugh: "It seems that the goal of the fifth-level powerhouses, the highest-level life-extending wonder 'Source of Dragon Blood', is here... so rich and powerful. The incomparable breath of life, no wonder it can extend the lifespan of a fifth-level powerhouse."

"And the target is so big. No matter where you arrive at this subspace maze, you will definitely see it as soon as possible."

As for what exactly the pre-epochal civilization was transforming into the dragon bones containing the 'source of dragon blood'...

Ian could vaguely see that,

That seems to be a...ship?

On the body of the real dragon corpse, some metallic flashes can be vaguely seen. Those were things added the day after tomorrow. It is far from finished, it is better to say that it has just begun. Obviously, the civilization of the previous era wanted to metallize the dragon bone. Maybe it was the prototype of the 'mechanical dragon' in later generations?

But no matter what, Ian can only think of the spaceship for that kind of package transformation method.

Use the bones of a real dragon as the keel to build a living metal spaceship!

It seems that the pre-era civilization did not completely lack research on spaceship technology. Even though they may have a contract with the 'Star God', they still devoted resources in this area.

But there was no time, and these resources were left here.

"It looks like no one has been here for a long time."

Looking away from the keel in the distance, Ian looked around the surrounding factories. He nodded slightly: "I also understand why the dark gold dragon induced these younger generations of Terra with dragon blood to come over."

The strength of the dark gold dragon has reached the actual fifth level six years later. Many fifth-level powerhouses in Terra cannot intercept it... But is it really impossible to intercept it?

Let’s not talk about the empire’s Sun Bird inheritance. After all, the empire may not want to deal with this troublesome matter. Just the inheritance of the Silver Gate family of Canaan Moore and the space teleportation ability of Speaker Yafoda, can’t they maintain the fifth level of the party? Strong man, did the Aoba family's Everlasting Wind teleport to the dark gold dragon that hadn't started to accelerate yet?

This point, after Ian learned about Yafoda's ability, he kept an eye on it. Later, judging from various signs, Ian guessed that the dark gold dragon had an ally among the elves, and that ally was exactly the same. It's the Speaker of Japheta.

On the way to the spiritual disaster path, the reason why my prophetic prophecy was so quickly heard by Canaan Moore is probably because he followed the line of Anfa-Jin Deng Family-Yinmen Family-Yapheda Speaker-anyway, the secret of the Dark Gold Dragon Leaving is already unstoppable, so we might as well evacuate some people and reduce losses reasonably.

The purpose of the dark gold dragon is very clear. It is obviously to gain strength, leave Terra, and go outside the Prison Star Prison.

So what is the purpose of Speaker Japheta?

It's actually very simple.

During his time in the Capital of the World Tree, Ian learned about the struggle among the blood of the Ten Kings in recent years and the situation of the Yinmen Family through Anfa's channels... He had a vague and bold guess.

That is, Speaker Yafoda set up a trap with the dark gold dragon, intending to hunt down the fifth-level expert who might enter the Alien Research Institute, the fifth-level expert from the National Territory Department.

It's not only a brother-killing feud, but also a partisan dispute... Behind Speaker Yafoda, there may even be the entire sustaining party.

As the ruling party, the five branches of the Maintenance Party are tired of arguing with the five branches of the Pillar Party in this coming era of great struggle. They want to set up a conspiracy that cannot be refused. At this rare opportunity, the Pillar Party has grasped the robbery. 'The Blood of the Top'.

The fifth-level powerhouse who is so old that he has chosen a successor and is expected to die in six years will never let go of the source of dragon blood - but if he goes out to snatch it in his true form, it is hard to say whether he can grab it. After the fight, your life will definitely be gone, and you may not have enough life left to cultivate an heir.

Therefore, the top leader of the National Territory Department will definitely use tricks.

The signal that Yafoda sent to Ian was probably a back-up set up for this small trick... He may have seen through Ian's identity as a prophet and some of his true strength, and believed that Ian could help Anfa He reached the third floor at the speed of the first few, so he asked Ian to do him a favor and activate an instrument that might be hidden in the ruins.

It’s hard to say what the specific function of that instrument is, but it must be aimed at the ancestors of the Ministry of Territories.

This is the internal struggle of Canaan Moore, and the conspiracy between the fifth energy levels. Whether it is Ian or others, they are just pawns in this conspiracy.

But here comes the problem.

——Why didn’t the Dark Gold Dragon enter this ‘real alien research institute’ himself, instead of letting Yaphta summon the younger generation from all over the world?

"Because He doesn't have the authority."

Ian chuckled in his heart: "If the dark gold dragon is really the echo of the forerunner - no matter whose echo it is - anyway, it must be a 'man-made thing', and there is no researcher or dragon to cooperate with the experiment. Blood holder authority.”

"He may not even be finished yet, so he has the power and dragon blood, but cannot enter the subspace maze... He absolutely does not want to destroy the subspace maze, nor will he allow high-level powerhouses to enter it, so he can only fight with Ya Foda cooperated to allow young people like us to enter, and he used some means to open the subspace maze with the help of our power."

"Once the Dark Gold Dragon is completed and obtains the 'Source of Dragon Blood' or other resources in this research institute, he may be able to become a complete fifth-level person in six years. In this case, the problem will be huge. .”

"Of course, it should be more than just the source of dragon blood... The source of dragon blood is difficult to destroy. Even if the subspace labyrinth is damaged, at most it will be lost in the virtual realm. If you look for it, you will definitely find it... What he really wants should be Is it some information from the institute? There is insufficient information to continue speculating."

With the knowledge and information along the way, Ian has completely understood the twists and turns that happened in the Alien Research Institute.

Make a decision before taking action, and make all the calculations. As a prophet, he should understand all the causes and consequences before taking action, so that he can take advantage of the situation.

Of course, in addition to the two backbones of the Canaan Moore Civil War and the authority of the Dark Gold Dragon to crack the Alien Research Institute, there are also the respective plans of the Empire and the Cangtian Royal Court. The City of Knowledge came with the Thousand Star Beast they raised, and obviously they also have their own plans. The purpose... Even Anfa always feels a little distracted after entering the ruins. She must have the purpose of the Jin Deng Department behind her.

Not to mention, the Dragon Worship Cult and Dragon Island...

Although the Dragon Worship Cult in Nanling and Canaan Moore has almost been eroded by the forces of various countries, there must be some pure Dragon Worship Cult members mixed in the team, and they definitely have their own goals. When faced with the source of dragon blood and the relics of the pre-era civilization that signed a contract with them, Longdao's heart is definitely not as calm as it appears.

——Maybe in the end, this will become a fifth-level battle!

Thinking of this possibility, Ian felt that he had probably figured out what was going on with those inexplicable total annihilations... If the final situation really reached the point where the fifth energy levels of various countries gathered in Half Moon Lake to start a war, then I'm afraid this is the beginning of the Terran World War.

Until then……

All must die!

What Ian has to do is to search for the other part of the 'Gift of the Star God' while also searching for information about the civilization and the Star God from the previous era, and in the process, avoid all the worst endings.

So, if you want to achieve this ending, the first step should be taken.

"Silver chip."

With the corners of his mouth raised, 'Mahdi' smiled facing the permission confirmation window floating in front of him: "Show permissions."

——Since the dark gold dragon has no way to control all the equipment of the pre-era civilization related to psychic energy, when will it be possible to stop using the silver chip now?

——Xenogene Research Institute, your director (the chip) is back!

Silver light flashed, and Ian raised his hand and touched the window.

After the permission confirmation window flashed fiercely for a while, it began to refresh large tracts of data.

Immediately afterwards, there was light!

[Perform identity detection...error...determine security level...highest...regular permission detection fails, manual confirmation...]

【warn! The Federal Alien Research Institute and the Virtual Realm Subspace Park are in a long-term unmanned automatic maintenance state, and 82% of the blocks have been detected to be damaged/missing/changed/destroyed]

[The main control system of the Federal Institute of Alien Research has confirmed that there is no intelligent life within the institute]

[According to the intelligent system hosting process, permission confirmation is now performed by the main control system agent]

【...Confirmation completed...】

[Welcome, dear dean. The main control system of the Federal Institute of Alien Research pays tribute to you, you already hold the highest authority of the Institute of Alien Research】

[The dean’s exclusive channel is open to you]

at the same time.

The entire Xenogeneic Research Institute suddenly stopped.

"Um?"

The outside world, the surface.

In the exploration garden, the original staff and support staff were all running away, because the fourth-level pressure that had begun a full-scale confrontation had made all creatures within hundreds of miles feel uneasy, palpitated, and afraid.

But at this moment, all the fourth energy levels turned their gazes sideways and looked toward the ground.

Although I don’t know what happened, just now, the entire earth moved slightly for a moment!

Inside the Xenogeneic Research Institute.

The first layer of the water plain that was originally illuminated by the sun lamp suddenly fell into darkness, causing all the small force exploration teams and logistics personnel wandering around this layer to panic. However, soon, the lights were rekindled, and many of them had already The extinguished sun lamps began to flicker and light up again, and micro-repair robots began to activate, repairing the broken lights and cleaning the overflowing rivers.

On the second floor, the same 'shutdown and restart' event occurred in the Dusk Shelter - as the entire shelter restarted, many disc-shaped cleaning machines and maintenance robots hidden underground emerged from many warehouses and material buildings. , one compressed capsule after another automatically decompresses, releasing those repair modules that have been preserved for more than a thousand years.

On the third floor, the bloody courtyard, the blood disappeared.

All the warning and emergency signs were removed in an instant, and what appeared again were the orange and green "under maintenance" and "temporarily closed here" labels!

"What happened?!"

Many members of the exploration team were shocked by this phenomenon. They had never encountered such a situation before, and they stopped in place for a while, not daring to continue taking action.

"Actually?!" The heirs of great forces like Aina and Garr were shocked and incredulous: "The ruins are activated?!"

"This relic of a pre-epochal civilization has been reactivated - it is actually intact enough to be reactivated?!"

"Quick!" Without any hesitation, Garr led the team and accelerated towards the 'Central Abyss', shouting and urging: "Although I don't know who did it, or it was an emergency, but now we must enter as soon as possible In subspace!"

"Let's go!" At the same time, Emperor Sun Aina also urgently urged the team to take action: "The ruins have restarted. Although I don't know the specific situation, this place will soon become very dangerous!"

"In this ruins, those pre-era defense facilities that were dormant before they were activated will be activated soon!"

In the center of the bloody courtyard.

Isengard, Anfa and Xio, who were hiding aside and waiting for other exploration teams to come here, and they "stepped back", also noticed this abnormality.

However, compared to the incredulity and disbelief of others, the trio had a kind of understanding.

"Just a few minutes after Ian entered, this kind of mutation occurred in the entire Xenogeneic Research Institute..."

Xio took a breath, and she exclaimed: "What is his identity? A former epoch man who was resurrected from the dead?"

"I think it might be his dragon blood, the blood of a dragon with core authority in the Alien Research Institute back then..." Anfa stared at the blood-colored courtyard that was no longer bright red, and murmured to himself subconsciously: "No wonder, I just said that his dragon blood is too pure..."

But Isengard was silent, his brows furrowed.

It was not because of this unusual situation that he was frightened. At this moment, the blond boy just thought of one thing.

——No matter what authority Ian holds and what changes he can cause, these are all trivial matters.

——Rather, the stronger Ian's authority is and the more changes there are, the more terrifying things become.

Because, the thing is very simple.

"Obviously I have such authority..."

He looked solemnly and said, "But I still have the premonition that I will die."

"Ian, who is your real enemy...?"

At this moment, Ian in the Subspace Research Institute took a step forward.

In one step, he went from the 'Dean's Exclusive Channel' in subspace to the main control room of the Federal Institute of Alien Species Research.

There is only one plain seat in the bright panoramic screen room.

On the seat, an ancient and mutilated corpse was placed there.

Second update!
