The world became quiet, because there was only the sound of ether flowing deep in the soul between heaven and earth.

All life in Terra, even in the new continent on the back of the planet, can see that tall tower. It curves and rotates like a spiral, but it is incredibly tall. It uses the planet continent as its base and reaches straight into the dark and unknown space.

People in the city raised their heads in shock. The street lights, electrical appliances, terminals and various tools related to the virtual realm and psychic energy beside them all temporarily failed for a period of time. They could not hear other people's voices. They felt

Without the connection between others and themselves, the tools in their hands turn into scrap metal. In the silence of darkness, the civilization they rely on is extremely fragile.

At this moment, they felt as if they had been abandoned by the entire world, and that they were just an isolated island in an infinite sea of ​​silence.

And the people in the mountains and fields raised their heads, no matter where they were, whether they were underground, in the mountains, or in the deep sea or at the bottom of a lake.

The people in the mountains can see it, and the people on the shores of the water can also see it - they can always see a pure white tower protruding from a perspective beyond the material world, reaching into the depths of darkness, from the depths of darkness,

The endless universe overlooks the world below.

They could feel the tremors. The earth, rivers, mountains, oceans, everything was shaking slightly. Schools of fish jumped out of the sea, birds swooped through the jungle, and all living beings collectively felt a sense of fear.

Just like human beings have lost civilization and wisdom, just like schools of fish have lost the sea and rivers, just like birds have lost the sky and branches, all life has lost its foothold and its place to fly.

It is the fear of having the foundation of existence taken away.

But this was not the case. Because soon, everything came back, the frightened birds landed on the treetops again, the leaping fish returned to the sea, the lights in the world were bright again, and the noise after the silence returned to the earth again.

The malfunction of the tool just now seems to be just an illusion, and the noise of the world has returned to my ears.

They just lost some things that have existed since their birth, or even existed before their birth, but those things are not necessary.

It is ether.

Ether does allow more life to exist, but life itself does not need ether. In other words, what is needed is not pure ether, but some essence in ether, something more basic and source.

Its name is ‘spirit’.

——Omnipresent, omnipresent, without beginning or end, endless——

The planet was shaking silently.

The ether accumulated in Terra was extracted. This may be a plunder in a sense, but for a planet that has endured too much burden, this may also be a kind of relief.

After all, no one had ever thought that there was so much aether on Terra and it was so huge.

[Perpetual Motion Machine - Endless Tide] Over the past sixteen hundred years, ether sufficient to change the entire galaxy and infiltrate the 'Ring of Silence' has been continuously released from the depths of the planet Terra.

Even if it does not enter working condition, the ether emission of only the 'maintenance' level is enough to supply the needs of dozens of fifth-level people. The more powerful people are, the more they understand the power of the ether sea. It is as silent as the Dead Sea.

, but if it is turbulent, it can engulf the world.

As the base point of the perpetual motion machine, the planet Terra is strengthened by the extremely large amount of ether, making it much stronger and not easily destroyed by the battles of the sublimates. Even if it is damaged, it can be repaired quickly.

This is the characteristic of [Planet Gaia] - the planet's ecosystem, which is fully supported by the ether, will continue to repair, and can cope with various disasters and protect the life living in it.

But this kind of fullness and solidity is just like a person blowing up the air. It is just an illusion of solidity. Even if a fifth-level strongman fights with all his strength and bursts the air in the balloon, it will lead to a huge explosion.

.

This may be connected with the aftermath of the sky-falling disasters absorbed by the Thousand-Star Beast, causing the magnitude of the explosion to far exceed that of the "Star-Breaking War" of the ancestor dragons in the past. The entire planet will turn into a small supernova, completely

Become fireworks among the stars.

It can even be said that after the ether in Terra was removed, the entire planet was actually stronger than before.

Because the person who took away the ether did not completely hollow out Terra, but left a skeleton for it to support.

Although the dense liquid metal is strong, it will still flow and be crushed, while the simple metal skeleton can support more weight and resist more impacts - until now, the planet Terra is filled with the ether skeleton left behind.

Becomes stronger and more difficult to be destroyed.

Especially after the strong men of the fifth energy level left, the weakened fourth energy level was unable to cause the previous catastrophic destruction.

The people at the top of the tower shape it all.

In the past few years, Ian has been swimming in the sea of ​​ether, looking back, crossing landmarks one after another, and leaping towards the beginning of history.

He has returned to [the source].

Therefore, he knew that the beginning of this world was filled with a vast and endless power. This power was called [Spirit], which shaped the original Star God. It was also too concentrated and concentrated, resulting in 'weak' lives.

Unable to appear.

The ultra-high concentration of spiritual power creates a truly infinite universe, but this universe only contains light [everything].

Therefore, the Son of Light created darkness and shadow with his own death, creating "emptiness".

——The source of spiritual life, the source of existence and non-existence, the existence and non-existence of all things.

Ether is spirit, another name for spiritual power and one of its countless aspects.

Therefore, the ether contains infinite information, and human history and everything about human beings are recorded in it.

The ether in Terra built the Tower of Babel, and when Ian looked at the tower, he also looked at everything in Terra.

Ian saw humanity's past.

He watched, watching the ancient ancestors driving the furry beasts across the river beach, walking from the grassland here to the foreign land on the other side.

He watched the migrating tribes from south to north, heading towards the deep and cold north where there were plenty of fish. He also saw the tribes in the north chasing the migrating herds of animals southward until they reached the dense mountain forests.

He watched scavengers picking up ores in the wilderness, watching blacksmiths beating red-hot iron blocks, watching stone carvers carving crude statues out of iron, watching people praising the great name of the Father in front of the stone statues, and praising the man who saved the world.

The world, the miracle that leads to the future.

He watched human civilization being born, growing up, aging, and dying generation after generation under the gaze of the Heavenly Father's statue, experiencing reincarnation from generation to generation, until the ancient cities were buried in the loess, until the current civilization ascended to the sky.

Are these great?

Small.

Small as dust.

Any civilization has experienced a similar scene - pioneering, advancing, searching, and exploring. Whether it is human or other civilization, a group consciousness or a beast, this is a common thing that any life will do.

Because [exploration] is the most common, trivial, and correct thing in this world.

Not great at all. Not interesting at all.

Therefore, only those lives that can persist in doing these "small and right things" can be called "pioneers".

No matter who it is, no matter which universe, which civilization, or which ethnic group the pioneer is in, it's all the same.

Even the greatest, most powerful, purest, most transcendent, and most incredible [Pioneer] is the same in this regard.

[Herald] is not any individual, not any creature, not any philosophy or concept, he is a force of course, an eternal [guidance].

The Herald of Terra turned his gaze away from the Tower of Aether and looked toward the physical world.

On the planet continent, in the mortal world, a bright light and spark shines in the dark universe, as insignificant as all the dust particles.

No matter how noisy the world is, there is still silence in the universe.

If we cannot reach a quiet world, no matter how noisy the world is, it will be nothing but dust.

They will do it, and they will leave guidance.

The man standing at the highest point of the Tower of Babel slowly stretched out his hand, as if he wanted to touch the cheek of the world in front of him.

When he put down his hand, almost all the fifth energy levels in Terra had appeared in front of him.

Behind him, the perpetual motion machine siphons the light of the ether brighter than the sun.

In order to ensure the fairness of voting, the perpetual motion machine can of course siphon back the ether it releases. Of course, Ian can do it himself, but he has to fight next. Although he can hold the perpetual motion machine with one hand and fight against all the fifth energy levels in Terra.

, but there is no need to strengthen yourself.

That's when.

The battle begins.

A person who can become a strong man of the fifth energy level knows one thing better than anyone else, that is, all power comes from strength and pure violence.

Since Ian Yinfeng wants to [seal] everyone, no matter how arrogant and ignorant his ideas are, since he wants to do this, others must use violence to stop him.

Otherwise, he will put his idea into practice and turn everything into an ironclad fact.

So, it’s not that they want to [fight].

It's because [combat] is the means to solve all the [problems] in this world and the way to get all the [answers].

The first to arrive were the two town leaders of Yanjiang, Juyue and Yuanxing.

Spirit Blacksmith, Zheng·Yinchuan.

The fate weaver, Nuo·Yu Guang.

The silver-gray steel light pierced the atmosphere of the planet, penetrated the dark vacuum, and cut through space like a sharp blade. It split the ether and time and space. It is the sharp blade of the soul forged by the most egoistic and stubborn soul.

What follows is a deep net following the sharp blade. It occupies all the space and ether that the sharp blade cuts open, bringing all these areas under its control, layer by layer of psychic nets.

Over and over again, compiling brand new laws and regulations,

He had never thought about obtaining a perpetual motion machine, so he never had any scruples. The mayor of the oldest country in the Terra Era joined forces to take action, and a group of strong men followed closely behind.

They did not attack at the same time, because the battle at the fifth level cannot be effective only by siege. Too much power mobilization will interfere with each other, but will cause flaws in the combined attack. For ordinary people, what if there are flaws?

Only a few take advantage of the loopholes.
