   Chapter 354 is both a disaster and a hope (33)

Looking at the young man's suspicious eyes, the old man with white fluorescent lights in his eyes said slowly: "The first and second energy levels are the energy levels that often appear in the world. The third and fourth energy levels are the ones among extraordinary people. Heroes and leaders."

"They often fight and often appear in the eyes of everyone. Even the powerhouses of the fourth energy level will appear in the army formation, commanding their own troops or lairs, and controlling their own land and land. power."

   "However, have you ever seen a strong man of the fifth energy level fight?"

   "...No." Ian shook his head slowly. He recalled carefully and found that he didn't have any "fifth energy level" that could be called slightly familiar except for Hilliard and Inaiga II.

   Even, few even know their names.

Even Hilliard seldom mentioned this information to Ian. Except for a few enemies he had fought against, the teacher at most only told Ian the inheritance names of those strong men he knew, but did not reveal the specific details. Say more.

   "Of course."

Bishop Baiwu, whose eyes lit up with white halos of spiritual energy, said lightly: "Because since five hundred years ago, there has never been a powerhouse of the fifth energy level fighting each other to the death with all their strength—they can learn from each other at most. , confronting each other, plotting against each other with intrigues."

   "If you really want to fight, you also go to the outer space above the sky."

  "They will never show up on the earth and fight on the earth, because it will destroy not only themselves and each other, but also the world itself."

  The old man paused, and then said: "Ian, do you think that the unnaturally vast and unnatural mountain-free plains of the Central Empire came about naturally?"

  The boy narrowed his eyes.

   "Ian, do you think Huaiguang Holy Mountain really existed before?"

  The boy shook his head slightly.

   "Ian, you don't think that the weird semi-circular coastline of the Eternal Ocean in the south of Canaan Moore was formed by a meteorite?"

  Ian was silent.

  He somewhat understood what Bishop Baiwu meant.

  These weird-looking surface environments, these strange landscapes that don’t seem to conform to the laws of nature... So, are they all the “strong landforms” caused by the battles of the ascendants of the fifth energy level long ago in history? !

  But... how can the fifth energy level be so strong?

   "Yes." Ian suddenly understood: "Indeed, Bishop Baiwu is right."

   "Indeed, I don't understand."

  Mr. Hilliard once talked to him about similar topics.

  Mainly when Ian teases that Fudojian City is essentially a hard enough rock, the old man will say something with a smile.

  —Then why do you think the subject of our inheritance is 'city' instead of other words such as 'mountain', 'rock' and 'earth'?

  —My disciple, why do you think that the word 'immobility' is used as the 'expression' of our inheritance?

  Ian doesn't quite understand why it is a 'city' now. To be honest, the fourth-level "Apostle of the Mountain" sounds a little more powerful, because anyway, the city is just a thin layer of human habitation covering the surface, and the mountains are really rooted in the depths of the earth. Giants here.

  That's what he said back then, and the old man would always tell him in a slightly mysterious way.

  —Because you haven't seen it, kid.

  —You haven’t seen the towering sanctuary of the Ganterigum Republic, nor the world tree of the Canaan Moore Federation. You have never seen the mobile king's court roaring and galloping on the star-chasing plain, nor have you seen the capital of learning standing at the top of the wonders of the sky.

  —You haven’t seen any of them. Child, you haven't even seen the imperial capital...but as long as you have seen it, you will know and understand.

  —Understanding what is an eternal and immovable 'fortified city'.

   "A city that does not move...is eternal if it does not move."

As if he could know what Ian was thinking, Bishop Baiwu said calmly: "And you hold the key to this inheritance, and you also have the potential to complete it—it's not that we pay attention to you, but we pay attention to all the people who may reach the fifth energy level. The presence."

  "Your existence itself is the beginning of turmoil and the source of disaster. Every fifth energy level represents a doomsday, natural disasters and the possibility of destroying everything."

   "If only one fifth level wanted to, and no other fifth level stood in the way, they could destroy the entire world...just like any apocalyptic disaster."

   "Similarly, the fifth energy level is one of the few left in this world, representing the possibility of hope."

   Saying this, the old man lowered his eyes, and the white light in his eyes dissipated.

   Bishop Baiwu said softly: "The light of Huaiguang will watch you. Until disaster comes. Until hope comes."

   "Please continue to act, we will witness your choice and the future of mankind."

  Under the gaze of Bishop Baiwu, Ian left Huaiguang Church with a confused heart.

   Until he came to the crystallization cave deep in the South China Sea, he saw Shasha excitedly swimming towards him with a half-dead, fluorescent jellyfish in its mouth, and he was still puzzled.

   It wasn't just the teenager who noticed that there seemed to be a problem with his cognition of the fifth energy level.

   He even found that his knowledge of the Terra continent seemed superficial.

  Indeed—he didn’t even know what the imperial capital looked like, so why did he think so arrogantly that the ‘demolition of half the imperial capital’ in his teacher’s mouth meant the demolition of half of the human metropolis?

  When Hilliard said this, was it a boastful show-off, or an ordinary description?

  Ian did not know.

   "In the final analysis, Huaiguang Church is too strange."

Using the high resistance of the sand armor apprentice to ignore the poisonous corrosive body fluid of the monster, Ian used a silver knife to decompose the "regeneration nucleus" in the firefly jellyfish, and complained to the shark that kept nodding and flashing: "They It’s true that you’ve been telling the truth all the time, so it’s hard to understand.”

  —Fighting against disasters, waiting for hope, the eternal light of Huaiguang witnesses the choice and future of human beings.

  Different from the Church of Spiritual Equipment, which pursues ascension and is relatively easy to understand, there are too many secrets in the Church of Huaiguang. Even if he is a prophet, he cannot rely on foreknowledge to know the secrets behind it.

  Fusing and catalyzing the already carried half-potion matrix 'Overactivated Biological Solution' and 'Ghostly Regeneration Core', Ian soon got another bottle of half-potion.

  A bottle of light blue gum that seems to be alive, constantly moving, expanding and contracting.

   It's like blueberry-flavored jelly, or a ball of slime.

   And in the center of this jelly, a milky white core is beating like a heart.

  The regeneration nucleus of the firefly jellyfish can stimulate the brain glands to continuously secrete the "healing glue" in the flesh and blood that can heal wounds and accelerate the regeneration of flesh and blood.

  Even if the body is torn, the healing glue can temporarily stick together a mess of flesh and bones. While maintaining the vitality of the flesh and blood, it can also prevent bleeding and infection, and it can also strengthen immunity and anti-toxicity.

   However, this is not the end.

  Ian threw the second-level fairy material 'Fairy Streamer' into the bottle of potion and soaked it for a while. After the half potion was full of fairy breath, he took out the 'Fairy Streamer' and saved it again.

   Immediately afterwards, he drank the half potion that was still wriggling in one gulp, circulated the source matter in his body, and condensed it at the junction of the back of his head and cervical spine.

  The lines of the silver chips began to converge.

  The structure of the 'Ghostly Regeneration Nucleus' was imprinted on the back of his neck, and the clear sense of veins spread.

   The seventh sublimation organ of Ian's double inheritance is completely completed.

   But even after drinking this half potion and achieving his own plan, it still couldn't alleviate Ian's confusion... and burning curiosity.

   "Sure enough, Shasha."

   On the crystal island, the boy stood up.

  Ian closed his eyes tightly, and said to the shark swimming beside him, "Although I have suppressed myself for six years, I really can't bear it anymore."

  Opened his eyes, a clear water-colored halo swirled in his eyes.

  The boy's eyes are full of pure curiosity and longing: "The imperial capital, the World Tree, the Xuntian Sanctuary...Terra Continent, and all the wonders in this world that I have never seen before—I want to see them all."

   Turning his head, he looked at Sha Sha who seemed to be stunned, and encouraged him: "You have to make progress quickly, otherwise, you will not be able to keep up with me in the future, and you will not be able to follow me and continue to hit people!"

   "Oh? Whoa!" (What? Okay!

  Shasha also made a startled and solemn voice, as if to promise that he would work hard to eat and practice hunting, so that he would not be able to crash into the boat with the boss in the future!

   And Ian laughs.

  Smiles from the heart, full of expectation.

   Time passed like this.

   Soon, May 20, 773 Terra.

  Ian's knighthood, his 'armor' and 'sword' were delivered to Port Harrison.

  The long-awaited day has finally arrived.
