The mobile battleship had been on the road for four hours and thirty-two minutes, and when it passed a river, it had rained heavily, and the light of the holy day was obscured by the rain clouds, and only gray rain lines fell to the sky under the dim canopy.

In the distance, only a vague shadow remained, and only the tremors of the earth were still clear.

But the children on board were not saddened by this, and the news of the safe return of the professor and his friends lifted their hearts more than anything else.

In particular, Loya excitedly told them about the Professor's strength, and described how the Professor defeated the enemies in the exploration team, and finally activated the battleship in the ancient ruins, and galloped all the way back.

Even Gasha, who had always been very reticent in the past, echoed a few words from Loya, describing the unrivaled power of the professor at that time.

As a result, the panic and sorrow caused by Su Sun's decision to stay in Evend City and 'avenge' all the children gradually dissipated.

With such a powerful dean, of course, he can defeat all the enemies and return safely.

Of course, some people may ask, 'Isn't it strange that the professor didn't seem to be that strong before, and suddenly he is showing such strength?' 'Such a question.

However, for children, the problem is just too ridiculous.

After all, for the children of the Xiguang Orphanage, Professor Svetley was originally an omnipotent being.

He can remember each child's birthday, prepare gifts, let the most impatient children calm down and read, and can also pull out an endless stream of interesting alchemical creations to teach them about life, morality, and everything else they should learn.

He would make sweet potions to heal the sick and wounds; He will tell long stories that the children will listen to with bated breath.

Defeat the evil bad guys? That is a matter of course, children believe in fairy tales, believe that difficulties will be solved, hardships will eventually be overcome, and evil, naturally, will also come to an end.

They believed that Professor Svetley could do everything.

At this moment, looking from the side window of the ship, you can see a gray smoke rising from the city of Evind.

It seems to be a fire, it seems to be a battle, or a change in the energy of several factories caused by the burning of several factories.

But even a child can guess that this astonishing pillar of smoke all comes from the actions and strength of the professor.

And at this moment, two lights flashed on the earth.

Breaking free from the pursuers and repelling the battleships and scouts that were trying to pursue and track the city of Evende, Su Sun and Suiguang took a long detour before catching up with the Chuyao battleship.

"The professor is back!"

"It's too strong!"

"Dean, are you alright?" This is a child who saw the blood stains on Su Sun's body and was a little worried.

Su Sun, who re-boarded the battleship, was naturally greeted by the children, who cheered and hugged Su Sun's side, making him smile rather helplessly: "Okay, okay, have you rested well?" Have you eaten? ”

"Don't wait for me for so long."

"I didn't eat it!"

A more energetic child replied with wide eyes.

He has dwarven blood, looks honest and honest, has a loud voice, and his tone is cheerful and joyful: "Dean, have you really avenged us?" Where did that smoke burn? ”

Hearing this, Su Sun couldn't help frowning slightly, he looked at the dwarf child, and said with some confusion: "Why do you say that?" Although I really can't look at it......"

"And the factory owners......"

At this time, another girl whispered, her tone with indignation: "They always bully Seneca brother, they really deserve to die!" ”

"yes!" The topic instantly struck empathy among all the children, who all recalled what had happened in the last few months, and even earlier, without Professor Svetley's protection.

One of the children looked at the city of Evender in the distance almost with resentment, and cursed: "There are no good people in that city, and the whole destruction is good!" ”

"Yes, yes, the last time I went out to buy medicine for Sister Isabella, I was almost robbed of my money, if it weren't for Aunt Daria's peace of mind to come over and accompany me, the pharmacy took the money and didn't even plan to give me medicine!"

"They just look down on the demons...... Look down on us even more! ”

"They're all dead!"

Hearing this, Su Yan frowned completely.

He knew that the children in the orphanage did have contradictions with the people in the city of Aviad, after all, no matter what era, orphans would be discriminated against, and demonization disease was equivalent to the contagious virulent rabies, AIDS, which could not be cured and would also bring danger to others.

The city leaves children with no happy memories, just like Seneca has suffered before, being abused, discriminated against, and even outright abuse and coercion.

Hatred is real, and they have reason to hate.

So Su Yan opened his mouth, then paused, and did not speak for the first time.

After all the children had finished venting their emotions, he calmly said as everyone looked at him, "I did kill the Earl of Evander City, the source of the city's persecution of demonic people. ”

"But children, it's good to say, 'The whole city is destroyed!' When you say this, you should think about whether there are any people in this city who have helped you. ”

The hall fell silent.

"Yes."

The first one to speak was the dwarf child, he scratched his head, and said with a somewhat honest smile: "Aunt Sophie next door took care of us, last time there was not enough rice in the courtyard, or Auntie took a little bread......

And Su Sun looked at him, and he smiled: "That kid, how many people do you care about are located in the city of Evander, so that you don't want to destroy this city?" ”

Silence again.

“…… One? ”

Asked by this question, the previously indignant children all showed a somewhat confused look, they thought about it seriously, and looked quite distressed: "Ah...... If you think about it, even if it's my aunt alone, I don't want to......"

"Yes, Uncle Marfa is actually very good to us, although he keeps calling us 'little slippery', but he is the only craftsman who is willing to help us repair the roof......"

"Well, Aunt Lamia, who helped the professor sell potions, is actually very good, and she brought me candy last time."

"What?! You actually swallowed sugar alone?! ”

"That's what my aunt gave me, so it's naturally mine!"

For a while, the wind of the topic changed.

No one continued to talk about revenge, and no one talked about the city of Arvind that should explode...... Children are always forgetful, but they remember it clearly.

Su Sun watched all this and couldn't help but sigh lightly.

"Let's go eat."

He said: "Take a good rest, today's food should be good, everyone have a good meal, and then sleep peacefully." ”

"Tomorrow I will teach you new skills and knowledge."

"Yay!"

From the Ionian Mountains in the north to the city of Evend in the south, Su Sun hunted a lot of source energy beasts on the way, replenishing the ship's reserves.

In this world, few people would deliberately eat source energy beasts, because these monsters contain a large amount of high concentration of source energy in their bodies, and once ingested, there is a great possibility of suffering from demonic diseases.

Only high-level professionals, or the two barbarian tribes of Winter and Twilight, can freely eat animal meat after being purified by special methods.

But Su Sun knew very well that as long as the impurities in the source energy were purified, they could eat it with confidence without worrying about contracting demonic disease, not to mention, for everyone on the ship who had the guiding technique of purifying the soul, even if they suffered from demonic disease, it could only be regarded as a blessing.

Today I ate bear meat, the meat is very good, fat and fragrant, and there are some dry rice and food brought by the orphanage.

There was no doubt that this was a very hearty meal for the children of the orphanage, who rarely ate meat, and in front of the full house of barbecue, all the children forgot their past hatred and began to praise the professor and the chef Aunt Daria cheerfully.

"You should go eat it too, and don't let them eat too much, it's easy to have diarrhea."

After instructing Aunt Daria to take good care of the children, Su Sun turned his head and went to the captain's room with Suiguang.

After all, Su Sun himself has become a half-god wood and half-devil, and he can live by photosynthesis and water absorption, and Suiguang is a robot, and the two of them don't eat the fireworks in the world, so naturally they don't need to eat.

And after coming to the captain's room, Su Tian did not greet him, but asked the question directly.

"Lady Dawn, in the fairy civilization and in the previous eras, what is the principle of your source energy furnace?"

"Principle?"

For this question, the battleship goblin, who was concentrating on enjoying the pleasure of the job of opening a battleship, couldn't help but be a little dazed, and after she was confused for a while, she said directly: "Aren't you using the Chuyao Holy Rock?" ”

"Divine objects such as the Source Energy Furnace Heart, which can produce almost endless Source Energy and drive cities and even warships, are naturally extremely precious Holy Sun Fragments!"

The tone of dawn is so natural, it can be seen that for people in previous eras, it is simply common sense in common sense.

She didn't think that there was any other possibility at all, and naturally she had never thought about what kind of catalyst the source energy furnace of the Ai'an civilization was relying on today.

"Really......"

At this moment, Su Ri was quite confused in his heart, and he looked thoughtfully at the floor of the Chuyao: "Then take me to have a look, Lady Dawn." ”

"I want to see with my own eyes what the Source Energy Furnace Heart of the previous era looked like."

"No problem."

In this regard, Dawn naturally didn't care, her own body didn't move, but a circle of silver light suddenly lit up in the ship, and then turned into an arrow: "I sit on the captain's seat, which is equivalent to every place in the ship, so I won't go with you." ”

"Follow the silver mark, and the hearth is in the middle of the back half of the battleship."

Su Sun nodded slightly, and then followed the marker.

If the battleship of Chuyao is to be said to be big, it must be big, like a lying hill.

But the size of its source energy furnace is quite average, and it can even be said to be very small.

Su Tian followed the guidance of the silver arrow, walked through the dusty corridor inside the battleship, and finally came to a furnace combustion chamber marked with 'danger' and 'high radiation'.

He opened the door and stepped in.

Then he stopped where he was, not saying a word.

What's wrong, Professor Svetley? 】

Master Suiguang, who was following behind Su Day, was a little unclear So, he also stepped into it, and looked up at the furnace structure in front of him: [What is it that makes you stunned...... Yes?! 】

The moment he saw the heart of the hearth, he was also stunned.

Because, Suiguang saw a small sun.

In the complex core confinement chamber, a confinement tower carved from roots is releasing a steady and smooth flow of light, wound around a small crystalline sphere located in the center of the light.

This crystalline sphere has countless facets on it, like a diamond that has been cut hundreds of thousands of times.

There is a golden flame burning quietly inside, and the light flow of the restraint tower extracts the majestic source energy bred by this burning and feeds it into the energy system of the entire Primal Battleship, and then in an extremely strange way, the recycled source energy is turned into fire, and then fed into the crystalline sphere again.

It's like blood circulation—the source energy is spewed out from a crystalline sphere equivalent to the heart, carrying heat and vitality, and when the 'oxygen', that is, the active energy, carried in these source energy, is used by the battleship, the silent liquid source energy returns down the 'vein', that is, the energy circulation system.

The light overlaps endlessly in the crystal, focusing on the center, and its core is over 20 million degrees Celsius or even higher—the real nuclear fusion is being created in it, causing microscopic sparks to burn inside it for almost eternity.

[Many, what an elaborate structure!] 】

After seeing this furnace heart, Suiguang, who was originally a master of alchemy engineering and could even design a mechanical soul on his own, couldn't help but exclaim, his gaze became burning and longing: [Holy Sun, this light is exactly the same as the Holy Sun......]

[Condensing high heat and high pressure in a small space to create an almost eternal polymerization furnace core, this idea is extremely absurd even if it is a theory, because there is no matter that can withstand such high temperature and high pressure, and any magic circle will be destroyed in the incredible surge of source energy. 】

[This crystallization...... Maybe it's really a fragment of the Holy Day! 】

Suiguang was extremely excited—as a high-ranking member of the Suiguang Order, he naturally knew that the Origin Energy Furnace of the Aion World needed souls to function, and the reason why they wanted to make technological progress and excavate ancient ruins was to solve these desperate and sad things.

And now, the structure of the Ancient Source Energy Engine appeared before their eyes, if this technology can be imitated, then there will be a new revolution in the Source Energy Furnace Technology, and the mobile cities will no longer need the soul of the Demon as an additive!

That's a good thing.

But he noticed that Professor Svetley stood motionless, not excited, not excited, only with a solemnity that bordered on suffocation.

What's wrong, Professor Svetley? 】

Suiguang asked with some confusion, "Why are you in a daze?" 】

“…… Charcoal. ”

Then, he heard the 'Professor Svetley' in front of him whisper a word: "Carbon." ”

"Diamonds are carbon...... Fragments of this holy day...... And so it was. ”

Hearing this, the tone of 'Professor Svetley' became more and more solemn, and even brought out a hum with soul-shaking power: "Sure enough, this is so thick that it doesn't even overflow the breath of the Divine Tree—the fragment of the Holy Day is the fragment of the Divine Tree!" ”

Su Sun stared at the fragment of the Holy Sun in front of him.

He was completely sure that it was a very powerful and very condensed Divine Wood organization, because it was too pure, so it was all crystallized.

In its complete form, this sacred tree obviously has the attributes of fire and light, which is quite similar to the Fusang Divine Wood inheritance practiced by his good brother Shao Qiming.

It produces source energy in a circular process in the restraint furnace, burning itself, but with no visible signs of shrinkage, it seems to last forever.

But this is not surprising.

Because stars are inherently bigger and shorter.

The thermonuclear reactions of red dwarfs are not violent, and they can burn hundreds of billions and trillions of years, while the standard main-sequence stars such as the Sun have a lifetime of only 10 billion years.

And for those supermassive stars, the lifespan may be calculated in 10,000 years, which is inconceivably short for eternal stars.

The Divine Wood Crystals in the Heart of the Source Energy Furnace, with the help of a circulating system, can burn for an extremely long time.

And the Holy Day in the sky, if it is really the same as he thought, is a burning Divine Wood Essence, the core...... Then the extinguishing of the Holy Day also has an explanation.

"The problem is, it's not right."

His expression was extremely serious, and Su Sun's heart fluctuated like angry waves: "Of course, Shenmu can exist in a world without light, and their growth does not need the negative entropy of the sun, and they can become the source of negative entropy themselves—but in that case, that kind of world will become a dark ecology with the source of Shenmuwei." ”

"Even if it is a divine tree, it is impossible to ignite itself as the sun and shine on the world—just as the world itself does not destroy itself!"

"What the hell is going on?"

Even dawn doesn't know the answer to this question.

The gods do not record this history, and on the totem of the first ray, the sacred wood is naturally decayed, and the gods are born from the ashes of the sacred tree.

And goblins are a race created by the gods - in fact, in the mythology known to Dawn, all races are the creations of the gods, but goblins are one of the first beings, the creatures of God who created man in his own image.

In this regard, Su Sun could not deny it.

"In a world with a World Tree, generally speaking, all life is born from the World Tree - even if there is a native life, it will inevitably be infected with the elements of the World Tree."

"The gods created the races? This is obviously the gods putting gold on their faces. ”

To be honest, by now, Su Yan felt that the gods who were originally just mythological background boards had suddenly become suspicious.

Not to mention that they only appeared after the death of the Divine Tree, but they claim to be the creators of all races, the mere fact that the Dragon of Dusk also appeared in that era is enough to make people think.

"Also, the source energy density of this world...... Maybe it had something to do with the demise of the World Tree, or the anomaly of the Holy Day? ”

Thinking of this, Su Yan couldn't help but shake his head: "It's all just speculation." ”

Thinking about these ancient histories is not helpful for the present situation.

Turning, the man left the hearth core restraint chamber.

"What areas of this world are friendly and calmer for the Demon?"

And Suiguang, who didn't know why, followed closely behind Su Day, and heard the other party whispering to himself.

He thought for a moment, and then replied, "Not that it is nothing. 】

[The coastal capital of the south, located in the commercial neutral area between the Celestial Dragon Nobles and the Southern Noble Alliance, should meet your requirements. 】

……

The grand hall of the giant tower, the top of the towering clouds, the top of the solemn and solemn black tower, a series of beams and pillars carved from the crystallization of the source energy support the semi-circular crystalline dome, the translucent dome focuses on the light of the holy sun shining from the top of the sky, turning the purest source energy into the primordial fire, condensed in the center of the 'blazing torch' in the center of the giant tower.

Mysterious runes fluttered around the thirty-six crystalline pillars, which shimmered with pale gold mixed with crimson and flame-like halos, and then flew like a tidal wave, making the entire top of the tower as dazzling as if it were burning.

Giant Tower Babel.

Tower of Babel.

A knight, and an old man in military uniform, slowly walked up the long staircase to the sky, and reached the top of the tower.

They saw the figure in the center of the hall at the top of the tower, and then they knelt respectfully.

"Your Majesty." And so they said.

[Flatten, Ilovitz, and Akhalonov.] As I said, you don't need to kneel when you meet me, and that's the reward you deserve. 】

And a somewhat hoarse voice sounded, echoing slightly throughout the hall: [What is the matter, I need the two of you to come over together to confess? 】

[That's not good news, I guess. 】

"Your Majesty."

Standing up, the gray-haired golden-eyed knight named Irowitz took a deep breath, and he said in a deep voice: "The city of Evander was attacked, and Count Evander was killed, and according to the current information, it can be confirmed that it was 'Professor Svetley' who had previously explored the ruins of the Northern Ionian Mountains with Major Yelena. ”

"Professor Svetley is the mentor of the rebels in the south and the vice president of the Royal Alchemy Society in the past, and since the informant recognized his true identity, he has been hiding incognito in the city of Evend, running an orphanage and caring for the orphans of the demon."

[Well, I know that. 】

With his back to the knight and the admiral, the figure honored as His Majesty did not look back.

His voice was hoarse and calm, with a vague hint of ruthless indifference: [Akharolov thinks that his knowledge can be useful to my plans, and wants to take it under his command...... Now, it seems, the plan has failed. 】

"Yes, Your Majesty."

And the white-haired old general also stood up, this figure was already a little rich, but the momentum of the old man was still the same as when he was serious: "Professor Svetley has obviously gained more power than we can imagine from the ruins—in the past, he was a Heartlight Rank Potion Alchemist who was not good at fighting, but now, he can kill the 'Blood Armor Avende' who is known for his ability to fight just by showing his head." ”

"At present, he will soon be able to break through the Heart Light Level and reach the Divine Will...... If left unchecked, it is the beginning of a great rebellion. ”

[Yes.] 】

For this, the man is undeniable.

It was now clear that the man's figure was thinner than that of knights and generals, and could even be said to be like a child.

But even so, his words still possessed endless majesty, and the source energy moved with his heart, transforming into a large and complex arcane array around the temple: [Don't worry...... The power of ancient ruins? Interesting. 】

As he spoke, he turned around slowly.

He looked at his courtier, the man's gaze was originally indifferent and ruthless, but now it brought a hint of curiosity: [Is there anyone else who has obtained the power of the ruins like me? 】

He didn't look very old, or even too young, only sixteen or seventeen years old at most, but his voice was calm and powerful, and it belonged to a man in the prime of life.

The corners of the blonde-haired boy's mouth curled slightly, and in the center of his chest, a crystalline glowing golden red could be seen.

The Crystallization of the Holy Days...... The Primordial Sacred Rock was embedded in his chest, like a heart, inciting the power of endless source energy.

The vigor was like the glow of the sun, so bright and blazing that it instantly made a second sun light up at the top of the tower—even in the distance from the Fort of San Montasini, which was even brighter than the heavenly sun in the middle of the mountain.

The incredible heat spreads out in all directions like a tsunami, igniting sparks of ionization in the atmosphere, which are gorgeous and dazzling.

And this is just a trace of the aftermath of the birth of the teenager's turn.

The gray-haired knight indifferently faced the corona-like impact, the invisible source energy completely canceled out the heat, while the admiral took a slight step back, as if he could not withstand the power of the saint Yao Chuyan and the boy himself.

Emperor of the Sun, Asmodeus XIII......

[Write it down.] 】

The young emperor said this, and his voice returned to its original hoarse, indifferent and calm taste: [Write his name into the Book of Burning Spirits. 】

Specify it as ...... The second salary king. 】
