  Chapter 331 Harvest in the dream (33)

   "That's the swarm?"

  Ian had to talk to himself to help him recall the scene in his dream.

  It was noon when the boy returned to Port Harrison, and it was already late at night, and he rarely slept for a long time.

  Ian stared at the white moonlight outside the window. Outside the bedroom on the second floor of the Elder’s Hall, he could see the balcony on the other side. Ivy and wisteria covered the entire railing, and the leaves reflected a little dew in the dim light at night.

The wind blows through the window, lifts the vine leaves, rattles, and overlaps with the sound of the waves in the distance, making the young man seem to return to the big storm in his dream again, facing the sea tide with black waves, and seems to have forgotten for a while. Own.

  —That's not the end.

  Although there is no reason, Ian just knows that even in the dream, the entire Terra Continent is united as one to deal with the "self" at that time.

   But the 'self' at that time would never be afraid.

  Because, he has the confidence and strength to face all these powerful enemies!

  During six years, due to the war between Flameland and the Empire, Harrison Port continued to be in turmoil, and the maze research team in the Imperial Capital was hastily recalled before taking root, so the development of the ruins group has not yet fully started.

  If he has not lost his wisdom and self-discipline after being transformed into a swarm, he can fully strengthen himself with the resources, knowledge and technology in the central database of the relics.

   Even, turn the entire Sequoia base into your own!

Among other things, in the Sequoia Base, in the cooling room alone, there are two titan corpses of the fourth energy level. Both the Frost Crystal Dragon and the Frost Moth can be used by the insect nest, and at that time I , I certainly don't care about any goblins.

  There are also those mithril and fine gold, all kinds of precious materials, whether it is Morian steel or the gene seeds stored in the biological laboratory, as long as there is a little bit left, it can give him great room for improvement.

   This is also the reason why he was able to expand the worm nest six years later, wipe out the Grand Duchy of Thorin step by step, form the South Sea Fleet, and press the troops to the imperial capital.

  Yes, he lost the decisive battle in the South China Sea, but Ian could understand that that failure was just a 'bait' to spread the insect swarm and gain time for strategic development again!

  At that time, the hive-formed self realized that the strength of Terra Continent was probably much higher than he had imagined. Whether it was latent development or a direct decisive battle, the winning rate was very low.

   Then hide it!

  Using the core of the entire worm nest as bait, in exchange for a chance of trial and error, the data of an experiment, and then make a comeback again in the far end of the world!

  So, fifteen years after the decisive battle, a brand new insect nest appeared in the depths of the earth.

  The prophetic dream ends at this time, because Ian’s dream can no longer avoid the worm nest, and the future of the entire Terra is affected by himself who has become a worm nest, and the prophet cannot predict himself, so it can only be interrupted.

  However, this does not mean that the future of the swarm will stop here...

  As the prophet and also the will of the hive, in that possibility, he must be able to find a way to a more distant future.

only…

   "Can't see... the stars?"

  Ian frowned. What he cared most about was not whether any insect nests could blow up the Terra continent—this kind of thing was irrelevant. He had confidence that he could do the same thing with a human body.

  The question is whether the golden future, the end of the insect nest, can continue towards the starry sky.

   It seems… not possible.

  Although the prophetic dream did not reach the end, the sad fragments had flowed against the destiny time and passed into his mind.

   It's just...he doesn't know why.

   I don't know why the worm nest failed.

   Shaking his head slightly, Ian was a little disappointed, but a little excited.

  No matter what, even if it is just a premonition dream that has not been fully finished, it is very precious to Ian today.

   "I turned into a swarm, did I even eat Elan mercilessly?"

Turning his head, Ian looked at the little boy who was still soundly sleeping on the bed. Elan, who was the same age as him in his dream, looked quite similar to him. Come to the simplicity.

  At that time, Elan had already shown his potential. He was only fourteen years old, and he had already been approved by the Bishop of White Mist. He could try to take the potion and become the 'Dawn of Light'.

   This is already the standard of genius in the usual sense on the continent of Terra.

  —As for comparing with yourself?

  Please, Elan is not awakened Su Hui, nor does he have the teaching of Mr. Hilliard and the silver chip. Under the teaching of Bishop Baiwu, the second energy level, it is already quite remarkable to have this achievement!

   He can really be compared with him. He is not an ordinary genius, they are all monsters!

"At that time, Elan, who was transformed into a hive, was transformed into a "Crystal Dragon of Hive". .”

  Recalling the details of the dream, Ian analyzed his own thoughts in another branch of fate, while raising his head, looking at the little boy who seemed to be about to bite the sheets again.

  The prophet cannot predict himself, so in the foreseeing dream, his figure is also looming—this means that the hive-formed self is still related to the current self, but there are also considerable differences.

   If one day in the future, when I can see the future worm nest, it means that the will inside the worm nest is no longer 'Ian' at all.

   But that doesn't matter.

   "Compared to these, Elan's future is more interesting."

The young man thought carefully: "Steel bone distortion did not appear, which proves that as long as there is proper exercise and proper nutrition, many distortions will not spread... In a sense, it is like a benign tumor. As long as you eat and drink well, it will be normal." Rest, it might just disappear by itself someday—maybe a little trickier, but Terrans have better physiques, too."

"Moreover, the compatibility between the Crystalline Dragon and Elan seems to be very good, and the steel bone is also integrated into it. In other words, I may try to get some Crystalline Dragon materials to reshape the true shape of the Silver Peak Messenger... The Crystalline Dragon Bloodline is not the same. No, let’s talk about it when the time comes, I don’t have the Hive Crystal Dragon, but at least I have a development direction.”

  Although it is the future of another world line, for Ian, all of this is very meaningful.

   Not only Elan's development direction and potential, but also training methods can be used for reference. He can even roughly judge the future direction of his possibility through the historical trend of the background.

  For example, Flameland and the Empire switched fronts.

Although from the perspective of a bystander, it is quite pleasant, even ridiculous, but this kind of thing did happen, and it can indeed explain why the imperial capital only superficially appeases the Grand Duke Sorin who guards the northwest front, and has no desire to counterattack. It is hoped that the opponent will build a group of fortresses to resist the offensive, instead of really trying to seize control of the mountain canyon passage.

   Nonsense, if you can control the great desert, it’s just a mountain canyon passage, what is it!

   Apart from other things, isn’t it important to be able to border the Seven Cities Alliance, be adjacent to the Capital of Learning, and get the real mouth of the Tranquil Sea?

  But who would have known that Grand Duke Sorin would declare independence and rebellion so simply and neatly?

  It’s like Fei Yandi, who can’t figure out why the fortress group of Flame Land is independent. They are obviously the group of people who have fought against the empire for the longest time.

   This kind of erosion and wooing must have been going on for more than ten years or even decades. How could there be no rumors?

good question! Ian didn't know either.

   But he doesn't need to know either.

   As far as he is concerned, it is enough to know that this kind of thing will happen in three or four years.

  Besides, the information about Karin's flower also made Ian fall into deep thought.

   "This thing is obviously the mother tree of a different planet!"

  Ian has watched as many sci-fi movies and novels as he can probably kill all the people in the entire Terra world dozens of times.

He saw several related possible guesses from this thing at a glance: "On a certain alien planet, the flower of Karin must be the supreme individual that rules the entire ecological circle, and all life and intelligent individuals belong to it. A derivative of the psionic gestalt society, a psionic plant hive!"

   "The Huaiguang Church is right. If it is not eliminated early, the Flower of Karin will definitely occupy the entire Terra, destroy everything that exists, and reproduce a complete alien ecology from beginning to end!"

Ian can even make an even worse guess—Karin's Flower was an 'Alien Spark' disguised as a harmless form from the very beginning, and its sender was not like the Obra Spark or other Spark spaceships. It simply carries the information of the ecosystem.

  This alien plant carried the alien civilization’s ‘colonization’ mission from the very beginning, and its purpose was to modify the local ecology to a suitable way for them to survive after arriving at the destination.

  Even, in the flower of Karin, there are still the souls and thinking patterns of those alien civilizations, and even the gene seeds of the entire planet's ecology... This is not impossible.

At that time, the Flower of Karin, which has devoured the entire Terra, will use the body produced according to Terra's ecology to carry the alien souls in its body that have been revived by absorbing the souls of local creatures, completely at the other end of this distant star sea resurrection!

   "Even... not just Karin Flowers."

  Suddenly, Ian thought of the localized metal-based life in the basement of Sequoia Base, those living quite moist giant golden mushrooms.

  He nodded thoughtfully: "Perhaps, in other parts of the Terra continent, in some areas... some alien life has been revived."

   "However, they are not like the flowers of Karin, who must destroy everything that exists and become what they want."

   "Instead, I chose to change myself and integrated into this world."

  In the continent of Terra, except for alien creatures, I am afraid...

  —Aliens exist!
