When Tang Shidao saw the 'city' for the first time, he immediately had a bad feeling in his heart. It wasn't because of safety or power, but because this pattern was too abnormal. The Source Iron planet that the Mage Tycoon occupied didn't have a city, but there was one here. This proved that … there had always been a force on the other side of the Source that no one knew about.
Or perhaps.
Everyone vaguely knew, but no one said anything.
As the 'dust mirror' of crystal fragments drifted, Tang Shidao saw more things. There wasn't just one such city, but thousands of small spheres inside the planet. Rather than calling it a planet, it was more like a spherical starship.
The interior of the city was roughly similar to a nest.
There were cobweb-like passages.
There were beehive-like strongholds.
There were slithering snakes and ladybugs for transportation.
He vaguely felt that this place was similar to the academy planet on the other side of the Source, but also like the human-faced giant in the Supreme Demon Realm.
Population.
Industry.
Technology.
It felt like there was nothing lacking.
Because the dust mirror drifted in the wrong place, Tang Shidao couldn't see too much. Especially in places similar to the 'industrial zone', the airflow was too strong and easily blew away the dust mirror. It was impossible to get close. Most of the dust mirrors didn't land on the ground, but on plants that emitted a faint fragrance. They had some kind of respiratory system that could inhale the dust in the air.
Unsurprisingly, they were magic plants that cleaned the air.
Originally.
They were just ordinary magic plants of the lowest level. However, they inadvertently ruined Tang Shidao's' prying mirror 'plan.
In this observation.
It was very surprising.
Tang Shidao found some figures that shouldn't exist: the War Faction's Source Beasts!
They weren't arrested.
They were walking freely.
Outside the planet, the Mage Tycoon and the Source Iron Beast were fighting to the death. Inside the planet, the War Faction was safe and sound in their hearts … Was this diplomacy? Or were they traitors among the Source Beasts? Or had the War Faction always been in contact with the Source Iron Beast?
Seeing this scene, Tang Shidao felt uncomfortable.
Although.
The giant pillar had a spell and wouldn't die. However, this was ultimately a war, not a game. If the battle between the Source Iron Beasts and the Source Crystal Beasts was just a game, why would the Void Races contribute their strength and resources? If this wasn't a game, then why were source beasts moving around on the planet? Originally, the War Party and the Exploration Party were polar opposites, but because of the war, they were temporarily united.
Now, how could he explain it?
At this moment.
On the Source Iron Planet's battlefield, Tang Shidao had also returned from his role as a 'bystander', but his mood was very complicated.
It was certain.
The internal affairs of the Source Iron Planet were not simple, but in any case, the War Faction was definitely involved. Even the Exploration Faction might know about it. The situation on the other side of the source was far more complicated than he had imagined.
"Mr. Long, sorry to disturb you."
After Tang Shidao finished his meditation, Cang Zhu and the others naturally came to visit him.
Meanwhile.
A group of completely unfamiliar elders also came over, as if they were here to observe as evaluators.
"Mr. Cang Zhu, you are too polite. What's the matter? "Tang Shidao said calmly.
Cang Zhu was slightly stunned.
Because Mr. Long's attitude seemed to be a little different. Before, his attitude was clearly calm, but now there was a faint feeling of rejection.
"Did any of us do something rude, Mr. Long?" Cang Zhu decided to ask the reason first.
"No."
"Then, why did Mr. Long suddenly have an attitude of rejection?" Cang Zhu was very straightforward and did not beat around the bush.
"I found something when I was studying the Source Iron Beast."
"Yes."
"I think you know, but you didn't tell me. Or rather, you didn't tell anyone else. "
"Oh …" Cang Zhu was speechless for a moment.
"Maybe you need to keep it a secret, and maybe these things are not suitable to be made public. However, since we can't trust each other, talking is unnecessary. I am a scholar, and I only study what I want to study. Mr. Cang Zhu, do you have anything to say? If not, then I'm afraid we have nothing to talk about. "Tang Shidao looked at everyone's expressions and believed that these people knew something that outsiders did not.
"This …" Cang Zhu did not know how to respond.
There were too many secrets on the other side of the Source.
Even he himself did not know all the secrets.
Suddenly.
One of the old men who followed them said, "Mr. Long, the other side of the Source is not as simple as you think. There are many things that we can't stop. "
"I see. What does this have to do with me?"
"We came here this time because we want you to do us a favor. With your special ability, help us study a way to 'kill' the Source Iron Beasts. As you know, Source Iron Beasts are almost impossible to kill on the Source Iron Planet, and other means must be used to isolate them. Unexpectedly, you killed the Source Iron Beasts on the surface of the Source Iron Planet. If we can master this method, even if we have one more person, we will have one more force. "
"Very direct."
"Of course, we don't want to waste time, and we don't want to waste your time."
"Before answering you, let me ask you a question: Will the war be over if we kill all the Source Iron Beasts?" Tang Shidao said lightly.
"No, there are still …"
"If we kill the Source Crystal Beasts, will the war be over?" Tang Shidao interrupted and asked again.
"…" The old man fell silent.
He could not answer.
Because …
"You know, it won't be over, right?" Tang Shidao said calmly and said, "I suddenly understand why the names Åling, Chan Jiu, and Big Chief Phoenix did not appear on the battlefield. Because they also know that helping you win is not the end, right? "
Everyone was speechless.
Just as the old man was about to speak, Cang Zhu gestured with his hand and shook his head.
"Sorry, I'm not interested in the fight for power and resources. If the Source Iron Beasts endanger the void, I think I will join the ranks to protect the void. However, I won't help anyone fight for territory on the other side of the Source. I know that there are some things that are inconvenient for you to explain or publicize. However, since you're trying to hide your secrets, please take responsibility for your actions. I have no obligation to help you without knowing anything. "Tang Shidao refused frankly.
Cang Zhu smiled bitterly.
In the end, everyone could only leave the camp's Iron Cave.
Tang Shidao was still studying the Source Iron Beasts and was ready to leave in a short time.
Half a day later.
Cang Zhu came over alone.
"What's the matter?"
"Yes, Mr. Long. An elder asked me to bring you some words. " Cang Zhu paused and said, "An elder said that some people are destined to be lonely travelers, unrestrained by any power. It doesn't matter whether we cooperate or not. I just hope that Mr. Long can remember that the void is our home. That's enough. "
"Is there anything else?"
"Yes, there are some words. An elder also said that the Great Curse Human Emperor once fought a fierce battle with the War Faction. He used the power of the 'Black World'. At that time, he showed some special things. Mr. Long can take a look if you are interested. "
"I've seen it. Just say it."
"An elder said that the literal meaning of the other side of the Source is more important than the word 'other side'. Here, we already know two levels. The first is our own ordinary level. The second is all of our separated abilities. The level of power. The Great Curse Human Emperor once showed a third level. He divided power into two levels. "
"You mean, there is a third level here?"
"Please imagine for yourself, Mr. Long. We have some kind of agreement. I can't tell you anything. However, you can find the truth yourself. We will never stop you. Maybe the War Faction can stop you. However, you will definitely not back down. An elder asked me to tell you that if you like, please freely pursue the truth you want to know. If someone stops you, kill them if you can. Even if an elder stops you himself, it's the same. Don't be polite. Kill them if you can. "
"It sounds like there are no rules here." Tang Shidao understood a little.
"This is war, Mr. Long."
Tang Shidao listened and vaguely understood something. In the Supreme Devil Realm, the Craftsmen's Guild of the Human-Faced Superstar was also a matter of "authority." Those who didn't have enough authority couldn't know too many secrets. The Human-Faced Superstar dealt with everything according to a "convention" and had no personal will. Here, the Exploration Faction and the War Faction were likely to reach some kind of agreement with a "third party."
It was unclear what the agreement was, but the content of this agreement couldn't be made public.
Otherwise, there would be another, more terrible consequence.
There was a long silence.
Tang Shidao said slowly, "The Source Iron Beasts are more like man-made things."
"Oh." Cang Zhu didn't look too surprised. It seemed that he really didn't know, but he wasn't surprised by this result.
"They have life and they have a self. However, they are still like the creation of some kind of power. My only spell, Crystal Life, can't create real life, but it can occupy and assimilate life. In the Crystal Illusion, the races with crystal life are randomly born because of some special natural law. My magic is magic, not the power of nature. Hypothetically speaking, the Magic Idol Iron Block, the Crystal Life is like an artificial brain, and the Source Iron Beasts are like real life. "
"Like?" Cang Zhu noticed an important point.
"Yes, like, but it's not certain. So, they still have a weakness. As you can imagine, the Source Iron Beasts are like a better artificial brain. They're not afraid of destruction, but of invasion and cutting off connections. In other words, I don't kill the Source Iron Beasts with power, but invade and cut off their connection with something, so they can't be resurrected. "
"Thank you." Cang Zhu understood.
The two sides didn't cooperate.
However, Mr. Long had already explained the most effective way.
"Please go back. I'll be leaving in a few days." Tang Shidao also signaled that he didn't want to talk more.
"Well, thank you again. Mr. Long, please be careful of the War Faction. I don't want to speak ill of them. I just want to say that even if we cooperate to this extent on the battlefield, we still can't be friends and are still fighting each other. In addition, some of the Exploration Faction have to be careful. When we stay on the battlefield, we don't want to think too much. We only want to fight. "
"I want to ask, is the Void your home?" Tang Shidao asked one last time.
"Yes."
"Well, that's good." Tang Shidao waved his hand, and Cang Zhu also left.
After this conversation.
Things were a little clearer, but there was still a fog covering it.
One could imagine.
The battlefield on the other side of the Source was very complicated, and there were many factions. Some people stayed, some sought cooperation, and some even betrayed, colluded with the enemy, and defected to the enemy. People like Cang Zhu didn't want to participate in political things. He only stayed on the battlefield as a warrior and stopped everything that attacked the Void.
However, Cang Zhu couldn't represent the entire Exploration Faction.
In fact.
An elder could only represent a small number of people, not the entire group. If there was a third party, they would only sign some kind of agreement, but it wasn't considered cooperation or enemy. It was just a delicate balance. The war between two countries was a life-and-death struggle. The war between three countries was a war between two countries, and the one who fought first would suffer. The war between four countries, five countries, and six countries was the most important thing.
The War Faction and Exploration Faction were enemies. If a third party joined, things would be completely different.
"Let's go and see … that kind of city." Tang Shidao didn't want to think too much.
Some things were better seen with their own eyes.
