This is a strange, white, void space without any physical boundaries or sense of direction.
Ian After stabilizing his figure, his eyes narrowed slightly and he immediately recognized the petite figure that suddenly appeared in front of him.
His face, which was as cold as ice for thousands of years, instantly revealed a flawless and gentle smile, "Klonai Mother Goddess, it will always be my honor to see you here."
Hearing this slightly complimentary title, Klonai was obviously stunned. For Near-Omniscience, an omnipotent and supreme being who can even be regarded as the embodiment of the underlying laws of the universe, it was an incredible thing to be able to make her feel astonished.
"Although I know very well that you, Coldblood, are not sincere at all when you utter these honorifics." The corner of Klonai's mouth raised an extremely moving smile, as beautiful as spring breeze and rain. "But... I am still very happy to hear you call me that."
"The words of the Mother Goddess are wrong. Every word of mine comes from the bottom of my heart." Ian continued without changing his expression. In the grand blueprint of the Arcane Empire's future sweeping the world, if Klonai and Cosmic Will can be firmly tied to his chariot, it will definitely be an immeasurable help.
Therefore, saying a few nice words to please her is a hugely profitable business. What's more, judging from the personality of "Cosmic Faith Plane", Klonai is indeed the absolute origin of all life, and it is indeed justified to call her "Mother Goddess".
Klonai just nodded calmly. Over the long years, when those plane creatures learned her true identity, they had two reactions: either they regarded her as the supreme Lord Creation and paid homage crazily. Worship, or because she cannot accept the fact that she was only "captive" and "created", and thus has extreme resentment towards her. Therefore, whether she is revered as the "Mother Goddess" or is branded with various vicious curses, she has long been accustomed to it.
"You mentioned just now, do you know why Queen Misel was able to forcibly transcend cause and effect and summon me to this void space?" Ian's eyes flashed, she quickly put away her polite words, and got the topic on track.
"That's right." Klonai's gaze became a little deep, as if it instantly penetrated tens of millions of years of time, "In the extremely distant ancient times, when the High Elves clan was still in its heyday and ruled the starry sky. At that time, they signed a supreme law contract with me. With this contract, they were able to directly borrow a bit of the power of the universe from me. Although with the passage of time and the changes in the world, that ancient contract has almost existed in name only and has been completely abolished."
"However, the bloodline connection engraved in the deepest part of the gene has been preserved like a mark of law. Therefore, in the past long years, once a high-level elf encountered an irresistible killing, they would use the remaining causal connection in the bloodline to cast an extremely vicious death curse on the enemy who killed them."
Hearing this, Ian's brows immediately twisted into a huge "Sichuan" sign, and an extremely dangerous cold light flashed in his silver pupils. "Can you forcibly borrow Cosmic Will's power to cast a causal curse before you die? This sounds like... a tricky and troublesome life-saving trump card."
"It's not as exaggerated as you think." Klonai shook his head and explained softly, "This curse of dying counterattack has extremely strict legal restrictions. It can only lock on the old enemy who killed them personally. More The important thing is that not every individual with High Elves blood flowing in their body can trigger it - this requires their blood purity, soul realm and understanding of the law to reach an extremely high and demanding threshold."
"So that's it." Ian suddenly realized, "So, before her death, Queen Misel frantically overdrawn her fully awakened [Sun Elves] bloodline, and used this ancient bond with you to forcefully launch this soul summoning across the galaxy, just to fulfill her last obsession before her death?"
"Exactly." Klonai nodded approvingly, "To be honest, even I was very shocked by her move. You know, in the long years of twelve million years! No one High Elves has been able to develop and apply a trace of my Source Force power to such an incredible level."
"Twelve million years..." Ian chewed this horrifying time scale repeatedly in his mouth, frowning slightly.
From his absolutely rational point of view, Queen Misel's own talent is not actually an unparalleled monster.
The most likely reason why she was able to burst out this dimension-breaking miraculous power was because at the last moment when she witnessed the tragic death of her tribe and the destruction of her country, her extreme despair, unwillingness and deep love for her people forced her soul, will and spirit to an unprecedented level at the moment of her death!
It was this terrifying elevation of the soul realm that allowed her to control her own magic and bloodline to break through the shackles of dimensions in an instant.
Of course, Ian also gave her a glimmer of affirmation from the bottom of her heart. If it weren't for the fact that this queen loved her people so deeply, and if it wasn't for the fact that she refused to give up until she breathed her last breath, this kind of miraculous cross-level summoning would have been absolutely impossible to succeed.
However, Ian's attention did not stay on Misel for too long. He was keenly aware that Klonai in front of him suddenly let out a long sigh.
This sigh was extremely rare mixed with Wrath, disappointment and a deep helplessness! For a moment, Ian even had an illusion - standing in front of him was not at all the bottom consciousness of the universe that only knew how to operate by cold logic, but a god with seven emotions and six desires, who was mentally and physically exhausted by this starry sky.
"Now, you should understand why I spared no effort to secretly bet on you, and even gave so many green lights to the Arcane Empire, the company you founded, right?" Klonai seemed to have seen through Ian's thoughts, and said quietly.
"This starry sky is completely rotten. Not only have those high gods disappointed me, but even the ancient races that once had high hopes have fallen into hopeless decadence and regression on this evolutionary path! Looking at it, the only ones that still have some potential and hope are the only ones left who only think about mating and making money!"
Klonai's gaze penetrated the pure white space and looked into the unknown depths that were extremely far away and even beyond the long river of time. His expression became a little dazed. "However, even those giant dragons, under my millions of years of luck blessing and prosperity protection, the progress of civilization they have achieved is still appallingly slow and inefficient."
"The time left for us is really running out. This universe, which is filled with stagnation and decay, is in urgent need of a dramatic change that can cure the poison!"
Klonai once naively thought that she could take her time. Like the patient Gardener, she could prune and correct the current deformed universe dominated by the civilization of "belief in gods" bit by bit.
However, after experiencing countless painful failures, she finally realized in despair: this big tree had completely rotted from the roots. If this rotten chessboard was not completely overturned, if a new absolute order was not established on the ruins, then her final fate would be to be completely swallowed up and assimilated by other more ferocious dimensions and planes!
Feeling Cosmic Will's unabashed intention to burn the boat, Ian's mouth curved with an extremely wild Haki arc. "I am very glad that you finally chose us. I promise you, it won't take long, you will find that this is definitely the wisest and most correct investment you have made in hundreds of millions of years."
"I am convinced of this." Klonai's beautiful face bloomed with a smile again, "To be honest, if it weren't for the fact that there are some 'rules' restrictions at the bottom of this Void that cannot be easily broken, I would really like to directly give you more and more domineering power blessings."
"Rule restrictions?" Ian keenly captured this extremely critical word. A rule that even Cosmic Will must be afraid of?
"Sorry, I talked too much today." Klonai immediately calmed down and regained his transcendent calm, "I believe you still have countless military matters to deal with in this war, so we don't have to waste precious time here."
"Indeed. Then, look forward to our next meeting, the great mother goddess." Ian bowed slightly.
Accompanied by a slight feeling of soul dizziness, Ian suddenly opened his eyes.
What came into view was still his top-secret core laboratory, which was full of high-tech texture. He was leaning comfortably on the sofa, and the data stream beating on the holographic screen in front of him still remained the same as before he left.
He picked up the steaming cup of black tea on the table and glanced at the extremely accurate atomic clock next to him - not even a second had passed.
Ian took a sip of black tea, but his brain was like an overclocked quantum computer, frantically reviewing everything he had just experienced in that pure white space.
In this seemingly brief conversation, the value of those ancient secrets and the situation at the bottom of the universe that Klonai inadvertently revealed is simply immeasurable! Some of these secrets are even enough to affect Arcane Empire's highest strategic direction in the future.
After putting down the empty cup, Ian stretched out his slender fingers and tapped Void gently.
A few seconds later, the shadow in the center of the laboratory suddenly distorted. A ninja figure, wearing a black trench coat with a hood and exuding a suffocating dark aura, condensed into shape like a ghost, and then knelt down on one knee in front of Ian with great respect.
"It's your first time to carry out this kind of inter-galactic latent mission, and you did a great job." Ian looked at the figure below and expressed his admiration.
"Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. This is all my duty." Itachi Uchiha's voice was low and hoarse, without any unnecessary emotion.
"Personally operating a conspiracy that involves the survival of an entire race... Do you think what I just did is too Coldblood and cruel?" Ian asked with interest.
"Yes, cruel." The man known as the Shadow Ninja did not even hesitate for half a second and gave an affirmative answer very simply.
"You answered without even a trace of hesitation. It seems that you really have a thorough understanding." Ian chuckled nonchalantly.
"This is indeed an out-and-out brutal purge. But my subordinates also understand that in this vast and dark universe, 'cruelty'... has long become a commonplace norm."
Itachi lowered his eyes. In his hometown, on the planet called Shinobi World, he once naively thought that he had seen the most extreme cruelty and darkness in the world. There, the cost of war was at best the destruction of a few villages, or the destruction of one or two continents.
Even in the most brutal Shinobi World war, civilian casualties were controlled within a certain range. The real bloodshed and sacrifice were mainly those ninjas holding kunai.
However, since he was recruited by the Arcane Empire and stepped into this vast sea of stars, his inherent world view has been completely shattered! He finally saw what is the real Hell, and what is truly bottomless cruelty!
In this interstellar battlefield where laws and causes and effects are involved at every turn, the destruction of the entire planet and the instantaneous evaporation of tens of billions of lives can only be regarded as insignificant small-scale local friction!
In such a terrifying environment where stars are easily destroyed, any so-called kindness and compassion are the most deadly poison. If you want to survive in this sea of stars, if you want to follow the emperor in front of you to achieve the supreme hegemony of suppressing the heavens, then "cruelty" is just a survival tool that must be mastered.
"Very good. It seems that you have adapted to the Empire's ideas much faster than I thought." Ian nodded with satisfaction.
"My subordinates are just trying to recognize the reality."
"Continue to maintain this keen state. However, don't be complacent just because of the success of one mission. This Cataclysm that swept Milky Way has just entered the most tragic climax. And my intuition tells me that the next big game... I'm afraid it won't go too smoothly."
Ian waved his hand and signaled Itachi to step back. Then, he re-immersed himself in cracking and researching [High Dragon Language Runes]. However, just when he had just deduced a few law models, the piercing encrypted communication alarm sounded crazily in the laboratory again.
"An emergency military situation again? What kind of mess is this time?" Ian pinched his eyebrows and connected to the video call.
At the same time, Vita Galaxy, Vedant Star's outer space.
Necromancer Emperor Guznader is standing quietly on the bridge of a huge ghost flagship built from the bones of a huge starry sky beast with his hands behind his back.
In this galaxy, all the creatures dominated by fear thought that he was just a clone that was used as a deterrent. However, only a handful of the most core undead executives knew that for this fatal ambush against the Arcane Empire, this terrifying undead monarch came in person in an unprecedented manner!
Just now, he was watching the almost tragic final struggle of Elf Queen Misel as if watching a play, and he also witnessed how the once glorious Elven Kingdom was reduced to ruins by tens of billions of Abyssal Demons.
"So... until the entire planet died, that bastard Lin An didn't bite this bait?" Guznard's eye sockets flashing with the green soul fire showed a sense of extreme confusion and irritability. "This is not in line with his greedy and domineering behavior! Could it be that we leaked the news internally?"
"My lord, this is absolutely impossible. Only Supreme Command knows about this ambush plan, and there is no possibility of leaking the secret." The lich attendant next to him, exuding a strong death aura, immediately replied with fear.
"Hmph! To put it another way, even if our ambush plan is really spied on by their damn Prophecy Department, with Arcane Emperor's perverted nature of even squeezing out the value of a passing star flying insect, there is absolutely no way he would let go of the perfect opportunity to pocket the ultimate bloodline of [Sun Elves]!" Guznader fell deeply into the trap. He was deep in thought, tapping his skeletal fingers irritably on the railing, "Could it be that... some time ago, a new continent was forcibly spliced together on the Arcane Empire's mother planet called 'Earth', and a group of alien elves of unknown origin suddenly appeared on it? Because of the availability of substitutes, he lost interest in these remnants of the old days of Vedant Star, and directly regarded them as abandoned children?"
"My lord, I'm afraid... the truth is not true." The Lich Attendant hesitated for a moment and reported the report tremblingly.
"Oh? What clues did you find?" Guznader turned his head suddenly, and the terrifying Spiritual Pressure made the lich almost break his kneecaps.
"Just now, we transformed a group of new undead companions on the ruined planet below. Several of them were elders of Elven Royal Court Supreme Council before they were alive." The Lich swallowed and continued, "We used the deepest layer of Soul-Searching Technique. After they had been forcibly wiped out, From the deleted memory fragments, an extremely secret fragment was recovered. The memory shows that a few months ago, some extremely terrifying shadow force sneaked into the royal court and forcibly used force to force them to pass a bill - a bill aimed at secretly collecting more than 80% of the elven citizens [pure blood samples] in Vedant Star!"
The process of obtaining this information was difficult. Because the shadow agents sent by the Arcane Empire to perform the blood-drawing mission did a flawless job in clearing the traces, almost completely erasing the elves' knowledge.
However, they obviously underestimated the necromancer's perverted skills in playing with soul fragments, and in the end, this group of undead dug out some traces of Silk from the subconscious garbage dump of their minds.
"Collect blood samples?!"
Guznader's Soulfire beat violently, and then let out a harsh sneer mixed with extreme shock and Fury: "I understand! I understand everything! Ian, this madman, he took away those sperm The blood of the spirits is simply meant to be taken back and cloned in large quantities using that damn Empire technology! Now that he has obtained the core bloodline genes, these rebellious and self-proclaimed first-generation elves have completely turned into a pile of industrial waste that can be discarded in his eyes!"
Guznader can completely understand the logic of this cold and ruthless ruler. If you want to forcibly integrate this group of elves with high self-esteem and ancient pride into the Arcane Empire, it will definitely cause endless political turmoil and class conflict. Therefore, Ian simply found another way and used cloning technology to shuffle the cards and retrain!
"My Lord... then what should we do now?" the Lich asked desperately.
In order to plan this perfect ambush that could severely damage Arcane Empire, they spent immeasurable time and effort, even taking the huge risk of offending the gods, and spent massive resources to Abyss hire the tens of billions of Demons army!
But now, because of Ian's inhumane calculation, all their preparations were like a punch on cotton, completely reduced to a big joke!
"Now that the matter has come to this, we can only start plan B." Guznader's voice was so cold that it seemed to freeze the entire star sea, and a desperate and crazy murderous intention burst out from this undead body.
"Plan B? What is that?" the Lich asked tremblingly.
"Since he refuses to take the initiative to step into the trap..." The bone scepter in Guznader's hand pointed sharply in the direction of the Arcane Empire's territory, "Then we will use the most violent means to forcefully drag him into this quagmire of destruction called war!"
