In the royal dining room whose dome is inlaid with bright magic crystals, the long table is already filled with delicacies from other worlds that exude alluring aromas.
Ian strode into the restaurant, his eyes swept over the beautiful wives holding Empire highest Authority beside the long table, but he did not find that familiar little figure. "Where is my precious daughter?" He pulled open the solid gold backrest chair at the head of the table and asked casually.
"Charmy went to hang out with those guys from Black Bulls Squad again." Someone chuckled and replied.
"It's so sad that this little girl abandoned her old father so ruthlessly." Ian pouted in pretense, pulled out a chair and sat down, then cast his profound gaze on Hermione, who had just triumphed, "So, my most powerful Archon, how do you feel about this interdimensional expedition?"
Hermione elegantly cut the magical beast steak on the plate, and turned it over angrily after hearing this Byakugan: "What? Your Majesty finally remembered me as a person?"
"Please, you don't want to be jealous of a child." Ian spread his hands helplessly.
Susan on the side was holding a goblet. When he heard this, he couldn't help but cover his mouth and laugh sweetly, "Do you mean to tell Hermione not to be jealous of a little girl?"
"Ahem... I should have said that directly just now. It was a mistake." Ian touched his nose and sighed with pretense of annoyance.
"Okay, you two, don't start flirting when we meet." Amelia interrupted the daily bickering with a smile, and then turned his concerned eyes to Luna, who was sitting on the other side, "Luna, how do you feel now? Have the abnormalities in your body and soul completely subsided?"
"I'm completely fine, don't worry. As for what happened before, I will tell you in detail later. The top priority now is to listen to Hermione's expedition report first. Tell us quickly, what is the situation over there at the Astral Realm?" Luna used her signature ethereal voice to comfort everyone, cleverly bringing the topic back on track.
Seeing everyone sitting upright, Hermione also stopped joking and began to report everything that happened after she came to Aquis Plane in detail.
She described in detail the three indigenous giants who were completely subdued by her after a severe beating, and how they finally voted to voluntarily become the auxiliary plane of the Arcane Empire. Not only that, she also mentioned that she had successfully established a giant interdimensional portal on that land that was stably connected to the mainland.
Subsequently, Hermione focused on analyzing the extremely unique "Knight Power System" in that plane, as well as the various rare resources abundant there.
After listening to the report, Olivia, who controls the highest military power of the Empire, immediately grasped the core of the problem, and her eyes instantly became sharp. "As for the knight system that can directly lead to Ninth Tier's position, it must be classified as Empire's top secret, and absolutely no information can be leaked!"
There was unquestionable iron-bloodedness in her tone, "Until Empire's scientific research team finds a way to completely break 'Soul Limit' and opens up a road for local magic Arcanist to successfully advance to Ninth Tier's position, this extremely tempting power system must never see the light of day!"
Everyone here is a good person, so they naturally understand the stakes involved. If those Empire warriors who are stuck in Seventh Tier and dream of becoming stronger know that there is a ready-made shortcut to the Ninth Tier position, the entire Empire will definitely set off a terrifying craze that subverts the existing power structure.
"I completely agree with your view, which is why I sealed it as soon as I came back." Hermione nodded, Blink's eyes were full of scholars, "However, although this system cannot be made public, we can definitely extract it secretly. Recruit top scholars to analyze it in depth. Use this to reverse and complement our local 'fighting Qi Martial Artist' profession, thereby artificially creating a perfect evolutionary route from the First Tier th position directly to the Ninth Tier th position!"
"This reverse engineering deduction task is simply tailor-made for me, but I have too many military affairs at hand, so this matter can only be put on hold temporarily." Olivia sighed with some regret.
As Empire's leading combat sect, she had long decided to make "fighting Qi Martial Artist" her core major occupation, and use her equally talented magic as an auxiliary sub-professional occupation. However, unfortunately, before getting this knight system, Empire's local fighting Qi Martial Artist occupation had always been like a patchwork of semi-finished products, extremely imperfect.
At this time, the Queen of the Undead Wiz, who had been silent all this time, suddenly proposed an extremely novel academic conjecture. "Do you think the will of a plane will actively intervene and catalyze the evolution of specific resources based on its internal mainstream power system?"
"How do you say this?" Everyone suddenly became interested.
"I just carefully looked through the list of Aquis Plane resources brought back by Hermione. I was surprised to find that most of the heavenly and earthly treasures and Potions materials bred in that world have medicinal properties that are extremely suitable for physical tempering and the stimulation of knight War Aura.
So I'm wondering, is Planar Will deliberately catering to its power system?" Wiz analyzed clearly.
"Extremely sharp and interesting inference. Think about it carefully, if the core power system of a plane is based on Mind Stone's telekinesis, then its land is covered with herbs that can only be used to exercise muscles. This is indeed extremely contrary to the logic of universe evolution. Your guess is most likely correct." Rowena·Ravenclaw nodded appreciatively, giving the affirmation of a top wise man.
"You can completely study this topic in depth, and maybe you can write a heavyweight paper that will cause a sensation in the academic world." Pheobe suggested with a smile.
"I will, but I still have to line up. My current schedule is completely full." Wiz smiled helplessly. Her core task at present is to ensure that those creatures that have been transformed into undead can smoothly and smoothly integrate into the Arcane Empire's normal social system.
Although there is a high-ranking empress in the Empire who is an undead herself, which appeases people's hearts to a large extent, it is still a sociological problem that requires an extremely long adjustment process for ordinary human citizens who are accustomed to sunshine and flowers to be neighbors with a skeleton with only a skeleton left, a Ghoul with traces of stitches all over its body, or a Zombie that exudes corpse odor.
Fortunately, things are developing in a positive direction. After all, the vast majority of the undead were victims of being forcibly transformed in the first place. Moreover, in the recent expansion war, this undead army, fearless of death, has made extremely prominent military exploits and won the respect of many citizens.
"By the way, Olivia, is the frontline war on your side tight? Do you need me to come forward and go to Aquis Plane to hire a group of high-level knights to join the war as mercenaries?" Hermione turned around and asked.
"It's completely unnecessary. Until this galactic war is completely won, the strategic policy of concealing the existence of other planes from the public must not be shaken. Besides, with our current military strength, we can crush them into powder without any need for external military assistance." Olivia refused extremely Haki.
"So what about the next interdimensional expedition? Do we need to start preparations now?" Hermione continued to ask.
"We currently do have the precise coordinates of 'Abyssal Plane' and 'Dream Plane'. But the problem is that both of them are extremely terrifying Tenth Tier, the highest plane. With our current background, touching them is tantamount to seeking death, and we must not touch them." Rowena immediately poured cold water on them.
"So, our only weak point at present is the hometown plane abandoned by the mysterious Star-Skin Tribe?"
"If you want to completely conquer a Ninth Tier plane, you must use Ian's main flagship Floating City, which has Star Destroyer level firepower. But judging from the current situation, his war fortress will never leave the mainland easily." Olivia analyzed the battle situation extremely rationally.
Just as the women were discussing Empire's grand strategic map, Susan was keenly aware of something strange. She liked this kind of family dinner the most, because she could always hear something here. Top-secret information that could subvert the worldview. But today, the man who likes to give advice the most is surprisingly quiet. "Dear, why don't you say a word?" Susan looked at Ian curiously.
"Hmph, every time he says nothing and looks blank like now, it means that there is definitely some big conspiracy brewing in his mind that could shatter the sky." Ian's mother, Joanna, held the wine glass and teased with a very understanding of her son.
"Mother, you are always so discerning." Ian came back to his senses, chuckled, picked up a piece of extremely tender magical beast meat, and fed it to his mother's mouth himself. Joanna happily accepted his son's filial piety, with a happy smile on his face.
Ian put down the knife and fork, crossed his fingers and put it on his chin, Blink's eyes flashed with a heart-stopping crazy light. "Do you still remember the 'Otsutsuki Divine Tree' tree that exists in the 'Naruto' plane that I once told you about?"
"Are you referring to the terrifying Parasite plant that can take root in the depths of the planet, crazily absorb the vitality and energy of the entire world, and finally produce Chakra Fruit?" Rowena's memory is amazing, and he reacted immediately.
"That's right." The corner of Ian's mouth raised an extremely dangerous arc, "I have been deducing a crazy idea recently: Is it possible for us to deeply rewrite the underlying logic of Divine Tree's genes and laws through arcane engineering? Let it no longer produce the low-level Chakra Fruit, but directly absorb the origin of heaven and earth and condense it into the purest 'Mana Fruit'?"
"Hiss--" The top Archmage present all took a breath of cold air.
"You mean, you want to force-plant this modified Divine Tree directly into other planes conquered by us, and use it as an extremely terrifying super water pump to plunder and collect the magic power of that plane?" Rowena's eyes burst out with extremely bright academic fanaticism.
"Absolutely correct. Moreover, our ambition must not be limited to magic power!" Ian stood up suddenly and put his hands on the table, like an enthusiastic speaker about to give a speech.
"We can inject Divine Tree with the runes of Law of Time, so that it can absorb energy across the long river of time! We can even transform its perception network, let its roots scan and burn all the history and civilization wisdom accumulated since the birth of the entire plane, and finally compress and condense this vast sea of knowledge into a priceless 'Omniscience Fruit'!"
"A magical fruit that allows the devourer to instantly control the entire history and wisdom laws of the plane..." Pheobe murmured to himself in shock, and the eyes of everyone present were frighteningly bright at this moment.
"This heaven-defying law Creation has an immeasurable operating space!" Olivia's breathing became rapid. "If we use a large amount of high-level blood essence and life energy to water it, will it be able to produce a 'Longevity Fruit' that can keep people young forever? Even... if I We are ruthless enough to feed it directly with the billions of souls collected on the battlefield, and it will produce extremely pure 'Soul Fruit'! As long as we have this, we may be able to fundamentally break through the damn Soul Limit barrier! Of course, this is only a last resort, and the most perfect solution is still to find a way to naturally break the restrictions of the law."
In the midst of his feverish imagination, Bellatrix, who had always maintained absolute sanity, poured down a basin of ice water with great coldness. "Your idea is indeed so grand that it makes people shudder. However, please be sober. Planting a tree on an ordinary planet and forcibly piercing its roots into the original laws of a vast plane are two completely different concepts! The span of difficulty is no different than a mortal ascending to heaven."
"About this, I have already thought of countermeasures." Lin An smiled confidently, "The guy named William Van Jons in Golden Dawn, the 'World Tree Magic' he mastered, was born with extremely rare spatial attributes, and was able to ignore physical obstacles and take root directly in the void and energy. It is within the origin of quantity. As long as I deeply integrate the characteristics of this magic with the genes of the Otsutsuki Sacred Tree, it is definitely not difficult to take root in the origin of the plane. The only technical bottleneck that troubles me now is how to make this tree have the logical algorithm to scan and burn 'knowledge', so as to successfully bear the fruit of omniscience."
I have absolute confidence in transforming Mana Fruit, the Fruit of Blood, or Soul Fruit, Ian. Because this is essentially just the plundering and compression of energy.. But "knowledge" is an extremely abstract and idealistic information flow. For a plant to scan the vast past of a plane, collect and condense all the recorded words and created magic into a fruit, the technical barriers involved cannot be overcome overnight.
"You have laid so much groundwork, are you planning to abandon us again and go out alone?" Mother Joanna exposed her son's tricks extremely keenly.
"Zhizi Moruomu. Yes, I plan to make a very short-distance inter-dimensional jump. I will sneak into that plane as quickly as possible, get the origin of Otsutsuki Divine Tree, and return immediately. I will never stay." Ian promised.
"At this critical moment when the two armies are confronting each other and the situation is changing rapidly, it is definitely not a wise strategic decision for the Supreme Commander Empire to leave the base camp." Olivia frowned and raised an objection in an extremely serious manner.
"Don't worry, I really just want to go back quickly this time." Ian said swornly, "And as a compromise, I will not take away my main flagship. The Tenth Tier Floating City will be left to you to guard the homeland."
"Even if you want to leave, you must wait until you attend Star-Skin Tribe's official surrender ceremony before leaving." Amelia made an extremely strong decision.. Previously, due to Luna's emergency situation, they had forcibly suppressed Star-Skin Tribe's surrender announcement. Now that Luna is out of danger, this important event that appeases the people and shocks the universe must not be delayed any longer.
"Amelia is right, you have to go and come back quickly." Olivia added, "Bleach Guznader There is absolutely no way that old fox can just sit back and watch us snowball. We are now We have completely entered the strategic decisive game of this galactic hegemony. Before Empire completely unifies Milky Way Galaxy, we need you, the aloof and invincible emperor, to stand in front of the stage like a the Chosen One, gathering all the military morale and public opinion!"
"Okay, I promise you, I will never be sloppy." Ian reluctantly compromised, and then looked around hopefully, "So... is there any beautiful lady willing to accompany me to experience this off-the-cuff journey to another world?"
What was extremely embarrassing was that the huge restaurant was completely silent. The women looked at each other and said that they had a mountain of work at hand and could not spare any time to accompany him on vacation in other universes.
Even Susan, who is usually the most idle, has been focusing on a top-secret scientific research project recently. This makes the whole family feel extremely gratified. This painting genius who has always been regarded as a transparent painting finally decided to use her incredible qualifications in a truly valuable field.
Although there is nothing wrong with being a pure painter, in such a grand and prosperous era, not doing some arcane research would indeed be a waste of resources.
"Well, it seems that I can only be a lonely lone ranger." Ian sighed in an extremely exaggerated manner.
In the next few days, Ian burst out with extremely terrifying execution ability, handling the mountain of government affairs at hand like the autumn wind sweeping away fallen leaves.
As expected, when Arcane Empire officially announced to the entire universe that Star-Skin Tribe had unconditionally surrendered and surrendered, an extremely terrifying magnitude 12 earthquake occurred across the entire star sea!
Those remaining resistance forces that were still struggling to hold on - especially the proud elves - instantly felt the suffocating pressure of national subjugation and genocide.
"It's time to give these invincible war fortresses a true name of glory." After taking care of all the trivial matters, Ian stood in the newly completed Floating City main control hall, which was built under his personal supervision, and murmured to himself.
Before setting off, he asked Tower Spirit Morgana to make extremely complete preparations for the inter-dimensional jump.
"Void Engine Ignition is complete, the inter-dimensional jump protocol is officially activated!" Following the order from this small holographic elf, Ian felt that the scene in front of him collapsed instantly, and the whole person was pulled directly into a strange high-dimensional space without any color, leaving only endless Chaos gray.
He could clearly feel that he was crossing the immeasurable scale of the universe at a terrifying speed that exceeded the limits of ordinary people's understanding.
However, just in the middle of the jump, a violent shock that could destroy the world swept through the entire Floating City without warning!
"What happened?!" Ian's face changed slightly and he asked sharply.
"Archon! We have detected an extremely terrifying unknown space anomaly in the Void channel!" Morgana's virtual face, which was originally full of humanity, was now filled with extreme panic and solemnity.
Her eyes were filled with crazily Blink scarlet data flow representing the highest alarm, "The energy level of this turbulent flow completely exceeds Empire's database knowledge! Emperor, we must immediately activate the highest level of ultimate emergency evacuation procedures!"
"What did you say-"
"No time to explain!"
As soon as Morgana finished speaking, an absolute defensive shield condensed from the purest ash Arcane Energy instantly enveloped Ian's body. The next second, a terrifying impact like the Big Bang slammed into Floating City!
With a soul-shattering roar, the world in front of Ian instantly fell into absolute darkness!
Although he had lost all his vision and hearing, he could still feel extremely clearly that his body was being caught in the violent Void turbulence, being torn apart and thrown away like a rag doll, across a distance that was unimaginable to ordinary people.
In this disaster that is enough to crush any Ninth Tier strong person into powder, even one as strong as Ian can only watch in the severe pain as his consciousness becomes blurred and scattered little by little, unable to explore the source of this sudden storm of destruction.
After an unknown amount of time, a burst of extremely painful light pierced the endless darkness.
"Where... where is this?" Ian groaned extremely weakly and opened his eyes with difficulty. What he saw was a blurry afterimage.
But his battle instinct, which had been tempered over time, was still extremely keenly aware of the presence of two unfamiliar living Qi machines around him, which made him instantly tighten his broken nerves and try to enter a fighting state.
However, his injuries were too serious, and his retinas were still covered with a thick blood-colored haze.
"Hiss--how can you survive after suffering such a fatal injury that almost shattered all the internal organs?!" A clear female voice filled with extremely strong disbelief and shock suddenly came into his ears, "This body of yours... is it still a human being?!"
Ian took a deep breath, forcibly squeezing out the remaining magic power in the body, dispelling the Chaos from the brain at an extremely fast speed, repairing the damaged optic nerve, and forcibly stopping the irritating tinnitus in the eardrums. He first confirmed that the voice that was full of surprise just now was indeed a woman's voice.
"Don't rush... let me take a breath first." Ian coughed up a mouthful of blood with fragments of internal organs, and said with difficulty in an extremely hoarse voice, like a broken bellows.
"Holy shit, your vocal cords have been completely torn, and you can still speak?!" The shock in the female voice became even stronger, as if she had seen some unspeakable monster.
Ian snorted, ignoring her shock, and closed her eyes directly, frantically urging the heaven-defying life Law Force in her body to Self repair it.
Accompanied by an extremely horrifying sound of bones rubbing and flesh reorganizing, when he opened his eyes again, he finally saw clearly the environment he was in and the woman standing in front of him.
It was an extremely bright and attractive face, with long golden hair, and a diamond-shaped purple mark dotted in the center of the forehead. Of course, the most eye-catching thing was the majestic mountain peak that could make any man look at him, as if he was about to burst his green coat at any time.
Ian was stunned for half a second, and a weak but very familiar slutty smile suddenly appeared on the corner of his mouth, "She is really a great beauty with unparalleled grace... Moreover, this figure is simply 'unfathomable'."
"You brat, are you tired of living? What did you just say?!" A vein suddenly appeared on the woman's forehead, and her fists clenched loudly, as if she was going to blow his head off with a punch in the next second.
"Sorry, sorry, I just woke up from an extremely terrifying space disaster, and my mind is still a little unclear, so I accidentally told the truth in my heart." Ian pushed himself up with great difficulty, breathing heavily, "However, I have to correct you, great Tsunade Lord Ji, please don't use such extremely rude words as 'little devil' to call me."
"You are obviously a brat, why can't I call you that?" Tsunade crossed his arms and snorted in an extremely domineering tone.
"If you simply calculate my age based on the years I have lived, at my age, let alone your grandfather, it is more than enough to be your wife's grandfather." Ian said nonsense in a serious and serious manner.
Hearing such extremely shameless words of advantage, Tsunade instinctively wanted to punch this ignorant guy into the ground. But out of the corner of her eye, she once again caught a glimpse of the horrific wounds on Ian's body that were originally fatal, and they were already healing at an abnormal speed visible to the naked eye. She suppressed the urge to punch him.
This level of self-healing ability is even more terrifying than her grandfather First Hokage's Muji Healing! This is definitely not a physique that a normal ordinary human being can possess.
"Wait..." Tsunade suddenly reacted and took half a step back with great vigilance, staring at Ian as if facing an enemy, "I have been away from Konoha for so many years, and my whereabouts are extremely secretive. How on earth did you recognize my name at a glance? Tell me! Are you a spy sent by other ninja villages to plot against me?!"
