After entering Novad Ship, Ian quickly disarmed the internal artificial intelligence and replaced it with Morgana. He then drove the spacecraft back to Floating City.
Before leaving, he repaired the destroyed temple and placed it, along with the surrounding land, into a pocket dimension.
This was done to repay the Ugha Tribe who lived there and protect them. In his memory of the movie, these people were later brutally murdered by the Great White Bear Army's Carnage.
After all, these natives were very kind to him, but he turned around and stole their "gods". This was the least he could do to compensate; Ian still understands the principle of "repaying a favor in return".
As for why they were not taken away directly, it was because the tribal chiefs said they did not want to be disturbed and they were very satisfied with their current lifestyle.
After leaving Akator, Ian began to use the knowledge in his mind to conduct in-depth research on Novads's technology.
This is a fascinating discovery.
Black Hole is a well-known phenomenon in the universe. However, one of the ultimate questions surrounding it is: Where did all the matter swallowed by Black Hole go?
Now, Ian finally knows the answer. They went to a place called "Blank Domain", or as it is called in the "Indiana Jones" movie - "the gap between space and space".
Essentially, this is the space that exists between dimensions, and is where the Novad race was born and evolved.
Novads has mastered the technology of Black Hole and can reverse the gravity of Black Hole, thereby traveling from Blank Domain to other dimensions and parallel universes.
Blank Domain not only exists between dimensions, but also between parallel universes, and even between different timelines.
Ian immediately summoned other people and drove the spacecraft into Blank Domain.
A few minutes later, Ian found himself floating in a dark space, with almost nothing in his field of vision.
But after quickly scanning the surrounding environment, everyone discovered countless substances, stars and even galaxies.
These are all things that were once swallowed up by Black Hole in the Infinity universe.
"This is the perfect place to collect resources," Hermione looked at everything in front of him, already calculating in his mind how much benefit this could bring to the Empire.
"Indeed. But we have to be very careful," Lily added, "The life forms living in this place have either evolved here, or they are monsters strong enough to survive being devoured by Black Hole."
"That's right. But that's a story later," Ian said, "What excites me most about Novad technology is their intelligence collection system."
Ian pressed a few buttons, and a picture of the Earth appeared on the screen, with the label below: Earth-234.
"They found a way to classify each parallel universe and label them using a technology called 'Frequency Reading'," Ian explained the principle of this technology to others.
Everything in the universe has its own unique frequency, including every dimension and every parallel universe.
Novads invented a method to use Psychic Energy to read the frequency of parallel universes and collect basic information.
This basic information includes the time period of the universe, whether magic exists, etc.
Although it seems basic, it is crucial for Ian who is dedicated to researching and exploring Multiverse.
Take the mission he sent Rowena and Luna to perform as an example. The reason why that mission was difficult was because they had to randomly jump to different parallel universes to try their luck.
Although she had the help of Luna's Divination, her abilities were greatly weakened at the grand scale of Multiverse. If she hadn't relied on the help of her Seer Bloodline and World Gate, she might have been useless in this search.
But things are different now. With this new technology, their efficiency in searching different timelines will be greatly improved.
In addition, Novad technology has several other application directions.
First of all, Empire can now use Black Hole for faster-than-light travel. This is the perfect alternative if the Apparition engine, Void Engine and other technologies fail.
Secondly, Black Hole itself can also be used as an energy source. Many advanced civilizations make a living from this.
Moreover, once weaponized, Black Hole technology will be classified as Ninth Tier·Galaxy level technology, and has the potential to develop to a higher level.
Finally, Ian will become easier to communicate with Rowena and Luna.
Of course, apart from these serious uses, what Ian is most interested in is actually-Interdimensional Cable.
Just like in the cartoon <Rick and Morty>, he can connect the TV to the signal of Multiverse and watch programs from different realities.
If a certain show he is following is canceled, he can switch to another reality where the show is renewed and continue watching. Or if a certain show is unfinished, he can switch to another reality and see a different ending.
Ian gets excited just thinking about these Infinity possibilities.
"You are thinking of something weird again, right?" Hermione asked keenly.
"It's not weird, it's innovative."
Later, Ian checked the coordinates of different parallel universes mastered by Novad King. He wanted to find a world with magic, but to his surprise, he couldn't find many after searching for a long time.
"It seems that throughout Multiverse, the power of magic has been weakened," Snape said.
Everyone nodded in agreement.
"Are we leaving now?" Hermione asked.
"No, we still have a lot of unfinished business on Earth-125. Let's wait until everything is dealt with."
Afterwards, everyone disbanded and went to work on their own research. Ian continued to focus on studying Novad's technology. He wanted to try to turn some of the technology into magic.
A few years later.
Ian was floating in front of a desolate planet the size of Jupiter. He stretched out his hand and pointed forward:
Arcane Rune Magic: Black Hole.
A small Black Hole appeared out of thin air and swallowed up the huge planet in an instant.
However, the planet was not sent to Blank Domain, but was transported to a pocket dimension within Floating City.
Immediately afterwards, Ian teleported to the nearest star and used the same attack.
This time, he output a massive amount of magic power, greatly increasing the size and devouring power of Black Hole.
In just over thirty seconds, he swallowed the entire star.
"Although I am only Sixth Tier, I can still perform the attacks of Seventh Tier·Stellar Level. This is the advantage that knowledge gives casters, allowing us to leapfrog challenges."
After the test, Ian returned to Earth. His research on Novad technology was basically completed, and all the data had been stored in the Library.
The only thing that has not yet been done is to conduct a comprehensive analysis of Life Code of Novad King. He plans to hand it over to a more professional team after returning to the Empire.
However, based on basic tests, he found that this species is not only born with extraordinary Psychic Energy talents, but is also uniquely endowed with Spacetime Magic. This is probably due to the special environment in which they were born and evolved.
Once comprehensive research is completed, he plans to modify his Life Code to enhance his knowledge in this field.
In addition, he believes that Novad King is the perfect candidate to serve as Empire Time Aurors to prevent others from tampering with history.
Therefore, he does not plan to kill this king, and even plans to capture a few more of his own race. However, the Novad race is generally a powerful race, and he must proceed with caution.
After returning to Earth, Ian came to a specific room with a huge magic circle painted in the center.
Hermione is checking the magic circle to ensure that everything is running normally, while Lily and Snape are on guard.
Ian came in and asked, "Are you all ready?"
"No problem."
"Then let's get started."
Hermione nodded and activated his talent and magic circle.
The magic circle lit up slightly, but then dimmed again.
"Failed?" Ian asked.
"No, it was rejected."
"Change the goal and try a few more times."
Hermione nodded and tried again. However, the next dozen attempts yielded the same response.
"Humph, these gods are so arrogant," Snape complained.
"They are gods after all," Lily said.
"You have become so virtuous, do you still have the right to be arrogant? Do you still have the right to be picky?"
"No matter how strong we are, in their eyes, we are just mortals after all. It's best to get used to their arrogance now to avoid suffering losses later," said Ian, who had experience dealing with Herpo.
He knew very well that Divinity would forcibly change the character of those gods who relied on faith. Even if they were once mortals, they would become arrogant after becoming gods.
After trying dozens of times, a being finally responded to their call and appeared in the summoning array.
