MTL - High Above-v2 Chapter 847 The chance to become a star **** (5600, the first update, please

  【Black hole? 】

  The Dragon King turned his head sideways, and he looked at Ian seriously.

  Then, the giant dragon laughed: [I actually knew the real point of Dragon Island at the first glance... For so many years, there are really very few people who can detect this point from the layers of ether flow field]

  【Perhaps, this is also the ability to create the main legacy? 】

   Speaking of this, Jifeng Dragon King became interested.

  He raised his head and asked curiously: [In this case, do you know... what is the black hole in Dragon Island used for? 】

"Um…"

  Ian didn't answer right away, he carefully observed the Dragon Island in front of him.

  Longdao has a dark tone throughout, and black gray is its base color.

   And its specific shape is a perfect circular disk, some are similar to tops, and some are similar to traditional UFOs (unidentified flying objects).

   In the middle is a huge sphere, while the main body is a uniform disc.

  It is evenly divided into four large areas and twelve areas by twelve pillars, and the most important sphere is shrouded in a layer of iridescent changing light and shadow...

  The 'black hole' that Ian saw was located there.

   Is it a black hole?

  To be honest, Ian has a lot of data and theories to make this speculation.

  First of all, with the keenness of the source material of the soil system in Fudo City, he noticed that there was an extremely terrifying gravitational change there.

  Secondly, he observed that the mass of Dragon Island is unbalanced, and the curvature of space-time is also abnormal.

  Finally, the dish-shaped shape of Dragon Island reminded him of an accretion disk, and the two poles of the central core area of ​​Dragon Island were indeed releasing strong pulse currents.

  The strength of this material has reached an unbelievable level. Even the material that can be supported by the gravity of a black hole, even if it is supported by ether, does not affect its horror. Dragon Island is probably the strongest material structure in the world!

  In short, all these can prove that the interior of the central spherical area of ​​Long Island is a black hole.

  Ian saw that each of the four major regions of Dragon Island has extremely strong real dragon breath and special ether residues, which should be the power of the major dragon kings.

   Among them, the Jifeng Dragon King is the most active, which proves that he has recovered a lot in the recent period.

  His lair, a Y-shaped flashlight silver tower, is very close to the central area.

   In other words, very close to the black hole.

  When Ian saw this, Ian felt confident.

  He said in an extremely firm tone: "The black hole is the way for the dragon kings to bypass the life limit."

【oh! 】

   Jifeng Dragon King's Thunder Dragon Eyes flickered, and he was quite surprised: 【You actually know? 】

  Generally speaking, a black hole is a star formed by the collapse of a super-giant star after it dies for various reasons.

  It has a gravitational force beyond the limit, but as long as it is far away, there will be no abnormalities.

   It’s just that if you are close to a black hole, time will also slow down because of the curvature of space-time caused by supergravity.

  Of course, this slowing down of time does not mean 'can live longer'. Slowing down time is relative.

  For example, a person who is close to a black hole spends a year with him as the frame of reference, and he himself will not feel any slowing down.

   You must leave the black hole's influence range and the distorted space-time curvature to realize that the year you spend around the black hole may be equal to ten or even a hundred years outside.

  And if an outsider can observe the people around the black hole, then he will see that every move of those who are close to the black hole slows down by ten times or even a hundred times.

  The 'slowing down' of one side is the relative 'speeding up'.

  In a sense, this may be a one-way and one-way "time traveler"-as long as one is willing to go around the black hole event horizon, when you come out again, the outside world may have passed for hundreds of thousands of years.

   How is this different from time travel?

  The premise is that the existence close to the black hole has the ability to get rid of the gravitational force of the black hole and 'come out'.

  Ian looked at the Extreme Wind Dragon King in front of him.

  —Could He do it? Easily get rid of the gravity of the black hole and the curvature of the distorted space-time?

Of course.

  Because of the magnetic field and thunder, the Jifeng Dragon King, which is comparable to "light", is basically equivalent to the actinization of the sun bird, except that the consumption may be greater.

  The speed of light is enough to get rid of the gravity of the black hole before the event horizon.

   Not to mention... He can also manipulate the ether.

  Ether is the medium beyond time and space.

  'Ether Furnace Core', in essence, is to use high-purity ether to form a curvature bubble, attract the surrounding source matter and spiritual energy, and create a semi-perpetual motion machine.

  The curvature engine is a high-level application of the ether core: the complete ether core will expand its own curvature bubble, and then wrap the human body or the hull, and then carry out possible curvature navigation or hyperspace transition.

   And the Extreme Wind Dragon King obviously possesses this super-space-time skill.

Therefore, even in the "slow time" in the black hole, the Jifeng Dragon King with the speed of light thinking ability and super-space-time means is enough to ensure that he can break free from the curvature of the black hole at a critical moment, respond to the call of the external acceleration state in real time, and come to the normal state. The time axis interferes with the outside world.

   "...Dare to ask, how long have you lived, Dragon King?"

  Ian was silent for a while. He considered his words and asked cautiously: "How many times does the... small black hole in Dragon Island distort time and space?"

  【I have spent four hundred and seventy-two years of use】

Jifeng Dragon King said with a smile: [The black hole of Longdao has a very small mass, and it is an ultra-small black hole maintained by the ether field. A quarter of the planets destroyed by the Proto-True Dragon Civil War)...]

  【The curvature of time that we can safely use has reached three times the speed, and the maximum can be increased to five times, but this requires extremely precise control of the ether field. If we are not careful, it will cause the black hole to evaporate, or the dragon island will be destroyed】

  【Of course, if you want to die, then you can pounce on the black hole, and the acceleration rate can increase to nearly infinite—maybe you can see the end of the universe? Haha, for us who can control the ether, this is quite difficult]

   Sure enough. Ian thought so.

The time of Jifeng Dragon King is right... If it is said that after he became the fifth energy level, he spent most of his time waiting around Dragon Island, then the time he actually experienced on Terra should be between nine hundred and one hundred. About one thousand two hundred years.

  That was indeed the time when the Iron Dragon and other third-generation true dragons were born one after another.

  The original foundation of Dragon Island should be the Nemes star that was destroyed by the civil war of the five ancestor true dragons.

  After Star Nemeth was broken, the remnant star became the laboratory of many second-generation true dragons and the birthplace of third-generation true dragons, but when the steel dragon was born, there were not many true dragons on Nemeth.

   Presumably, before the birth of the Iron Dragon, the cornerstone of Dragon Island had already been sent into the orbit of Terra and became a planetary monitoring station.

And if the Jifeng Dragon King didn't lie, the real meaning of the words "Dragon Island Black Hole" has a "new moon", which is one-third of the mass of the overlooked moon, probably means that the ancestor true dragon used " The Black Hole of Dragon Island' acts as a vacuum cleaner, sweeping up all the lunar debris between Tara and Luna...

  This project should have been completed during the Lost Era. The black hole of Dragon Island gained mass, and Terra would no longer be attacked by natural disaster meteorites.

  As for the age of the Extreme Wind Dragon King...it means that he is still twenty-eight years away from the final limit of the real dragon.

  Even if it relies on black holes to continue, for humans on Terra, it can only last for another eighty-four to one hundred years.

   Whether it is long or not, it is not short—for Jifeng Dragon King himself, more than twenty years may pass soon.

  For the people of Terra, that is three or four generations.

  At this moment, Ian wanted to understand many things in his mind.

First of all, with the mass of a planet and its satellites, it is absolutely impossible to naturally collapse into a black hole. The Dragon Island black hole was created by the generation of the ancestor true dragon or the mentor true dragon. The purpose is to ensure that the powerful true dragon can exist. As long as possible for human beings.

   And in order to maintain its stable and usable state, the dragon needs to maintain it at all times.

  The Four Dragon Kings are probably the 'cornerstone' for maintaining Dragon Island.

   It's no wonder why the other true dragons of the fifth energy level didn't compete for the position of Dragon King one by one...

  Because becoming the Dragon King means loneliness.

  The five hundred years of the other true dragons are the five hundred years spent in Terra, with humans, with their families and subjects, and with their partners and friends.

  Dragon King spent most of his 500 years curled up in the curvature of the black hole's distorted space-time and waited, only leaving for arbitration when something happened.

   Their whole life is spent on Dragon Island, gazing at this land of Terra... That is not even overlooking, but envious gaze.

  In their vision, Terra is a world accelerated several times.

  Time goes by, the mentor is silent, and the peers return to the tomb one by one. Even the earliest fourth-generation true dragon has a lifespan that has reached the limit.

   And they, the third-generation true dragons, are still watching in the black hole.

   But even so, they are coming to an end.

  From the perspective of Terra, in the remaining hundred years or even less than a hundred years, Dragon Island needs four new fifth-level dragon kings to succeed to the throne.

   And this dragon... it is best to be a real dragon of flesh and blood with eternal life that has lifted the limit of the star god's lifespan!

   In other words, dragons like Xiou and Anfa!

  —I see, perhaps from the very beginning, when the 'Dragon Island' was created, the true ancestor dragon and the true mentor dragons had already thought about all this!

—That’s why Dragon Island signed a contract with humans. No matter what method is used, they must find a way to let the real dragon release the restriction... And by using the port left by the creator and the auxiliary research of humans, they really succeeded in creating A real dragon of flesh and blood like 'Xio' appeared!

  Even if the price is to bear the poison of the void demon, it is still feasible!

  As for Anfa’s mother, Ms. Sialetta’s gestation by borrowing blood is another way, and this road is actually more dangerous. After all, not every ‘Anfa’ has a second-generation True Dragon Echo father who is still alive.

  【It seems that you don’t need me to say anything, you already want to understand everything】

The Jifeng Dragon King sensed Ian's thinking. Even though most of the young man's thinking was delivered to the soul, he could still rely on the induction of nerve microcurrents to read out some of Ian's superficial thoughts and give him affirmation: 【You're right, that's it】

  【We Dragon Kings don’t have much time left... If Dragon Island doesn’t have four fifth-level true dragons or corresponding fifth-level sublimators to maintain it, it won’t be able to maintain the stability of the ether flow around the black hole】

  【At that time, the real disaster will happen】

  【That's why I asked you... Ian, are you willing to become a real dragon? 】

  【Become... Dragon King? 】

  The Dragon King extended an olive branch to Ian... For Ian today, it may be the biggest opportunity since he came to the world of Terra, second only to meeting Mr. Hilliard and the silver chip.

  However, the boy did not accept it easily.

"I have a question."

  The dragon head of the dark gold dragon opened slightly, and Ian stepped out of the dragon body.

  He stood in space, looked at each other with his eyes, and communicated with the Dragon King with his own body and pure soul: "If I agree, will the real dragon I can become have a lifespan of only 500 years?"

【Yes】

  The Dragon King smiled slightly and said: [After all, the methods we have are still limited by the creator... There will naturally be a time limit]

   "But I am the successor of the creator. I am the holder of the gift of the star god."

  Ian was thoughtful: "So, Jifeng Dragon King, if I'm not wrong, what you want to ask is not whether I want to be a real dragon at all."

   "Your real question is actually whether I, as the 'Successor of the Star God', can replace the Star God and unlock the 'expiry date' for you true dragons!"

  【…】

   Jifeng Dragon King was silent for a while, he was silent at first, but soon laughed: [That's it]

  【I am going to die—from my point of view, twenty-eight years later, I will usher in the final end】

[Even if I am willing to stick to my mission and watch over Terra for the rest of my life, if I can, I still want to live a little longer—I am still the third generation of true dragons in the final analysis, not the mentors who have no desires and desires, nor the ancestors who are like saints True Dragon]

  【This is the question I really want to ask】

   This time it was Ian's turn to remain silent.

  Leaving aside, why is he suddenly asked this question because he only has the gift of the star god...

Just think about it carefully, if the true dragon really no longer has a lifespan limit, and it is not like the first ancestor true dragon and the second and third generation true dragons, there will be more or less kindness towards intelligent life, but pure , a life of flesh and blood with self-awareness and desires...

   Then, what a terrifying existence the real dragon is!

  Incomparable strength, extraordinary talent, immortal lifespan... Such a true dragon, just by its existence, surpasses many sublimators of the fourth energy level.

  They don't even need to inherit wisdom, they only need the invincible body, which is enough to match the high-level sublimation, and the powerful real dragon among them is enough to reach the fifth energy level.

  If the curse of the void demon poison that must be faced for reproduction can be lifted, then it is really a perfect family.

  Even the sublimated ones are no different from ordinary people in the face of them. Almost eternal class.

"I have no idea."

   So he replied, "I don't even know why you think I can—just because of the C'tan's gift?"

  【Just? 】

  The Dragon King shook his head slightly: 【You underestimate what you hold】

  【Ian, how much do you know about the Creator, the real dragon, and everything Terra encountered? 】

   "The Devil of the End."

  Ian replied: "I already know that the star gods have retreated from this universe—whether they died or left, that's the result."

  【Yes, you already know so much】

   Saying so, the thunder dragon turned around and looked at Longdao.

   And Ian followed him to look at Longdao: [So, you must be able to understand what kind of existence is imprisoned in this black hole, right? 】

  【The Creator, and the mortal enemy of all life in this universe... is the culprit who extinguished the starry sky, created many terrible disasters, and caused the disaster from the sky】

  The Dragon King roared: [Ian, the fragment of the final demon that caused the Creator spacecraft to fall is imprisoned by the black hole in the center of Dragon Island! 】

  【And we, the real dragon and the dragon king, are his jailers! 】

  Ian clenched his fists.

yes. He had already guessed - black hole, the last demon, what a simple relationship... After seeing that the core of Dragon Island was a black hole, he immediately thought of this possibility.

  But when Jifeng Dragon King really mentioned this possibility, he still couldn't help clenching his fists... and felt sincere fear.

   So... utter destruction, so close to Terra?

  【You can understand the horror, right? The end is suspended above the orbit of Terra]

Saying so, the tone of Jifeng Dragon King became agitated, and the thunder all over his body flickered: [At that time, the Creator spaceship was broken by the fragments of the Last Demon, and a Creator exhausted his last strength to create a spaceship with the main engine of the spaceship. created a gravitational cage and sealed it]

[And the first time, the true ancestor dragon used his own strength to maintain it... and after the Battle of Broken Star, the ancestor dragon that decided the next development direction used part of the mass of Nemes star, part of the mass of new moon, and My own body, built the black hole and the 'Dragon Island' of the entity]

[Our four dragon kings have taken over the mission of the ancestor and mentor, and are controlling the surrounding ether flow all the time, maintaining the stability of this black hole, and preventing the fragments of the final demon from climbing along the ether from the event horizon again. Climb out and destroy Terra's stars! 】

  【But even so, it’s just a ‘temporary seal’—when we pass away, where can we find the other four qualified dragon kings to guard the seal? 】

  【Can humans do it? Can the next generation of true dragons carry the weight? It doesn’t matter if I say I’m selfish, or to prevent other beings from enduring this kind of torture, I want to live longer and continue my mission—even if it’s just staying in the curvature of the black hole and continuing to watch alone]

   Saying this, the Extreme Wind Dragon led the dragon body of the Dark Gold Dragon, and Ian slowly landed towards the Dragon Island.

  His tone gradually returned to normal: 【I wasn’t sure at first, but when I really observed you, I found that you actually collected all the ‘Gifts of the Creator’】

  【Ian, think about it...a powerful civilization like the Creator, what kind of blessings will they send to the best pioneers in this universe, the outstanding ones who surprised even them? 】

   “…Themselves.”

Finally understanding what kind of "blessing" the gift of the star **** represents, Ian closed his eyes. He recalled the essence of the "glow of the stars", "body of light" and "soul of the source", and suddenly exclaimed: " Yes. I see."

   "When the sublimation of the Star God's gift is converted to the end, a life will be promoted to a 'Star God'!"

   "This is the true gift of the Star Gods—an 'invitation letter' for all the pioneers who are valued by them in the entire universe to become one of them!"

   "The Star God is a pioneer civilization with all 'pioneers'!"

  【No—you're thinking too narrowly, Ian. exactly. The creator’s gift is a ‘seed’]

The Dragon King nodded first, then shook his head and said, he had some opinions on Ian's thoughts: [The creators are so powerful, they can't forcefully promote them without harming the soul essence and life essence of other creatures—so They send gifts, send seeds, give those best in civilization the seeds of sublimation]

[Then, these best sublimators will rely on this seed and their own whimsical ideas to develop a variety of completely different ways of sublimation, leading the entire civilization to transcend, and eventually become a member of the creators 】

  【This may take an extremely long time, but for the eternal creators at that time, time is the least noteworthy thing】

   Said slowly, the Jifeng Dragon King turned his head and looked at the planet Terra.

   Together with Ian, he stood in the orbit of the planet, watching the blue planet and the vast continent.

The Dragon King said in a soft tone, with curiosity and desire: [Yes, as you think, Ian...the creator's thoughts are definitely not that narrow...they definitely don't just absorb a few 'pioneers', select 'Elite' elite civilization]

  【The complete opposite】

  【It’s like every civilization has its own unique ‘star guardian dragon’ guarding it】

  【All life in every civilization has the opportunity to become a unique, brand-new 'Star God'! 】

  First update, there will be another update before 10:00 p.m.
