Chapter 1355: Chapter 220: The Chance to Become a Star God
[The time curvature we can safely utilize has reached three times the speed. At most, it can be increased to five times, but this requires extremely precise Aether field regulation. If we’re not careful, it could result in black hole evaporation or the destruction of Dragon Island.]
[Of course, if you want to die, then throw yourself into the black hole – the acceleration factor can increase to nearly infinite. Perhaps you might even see the end of the universe? Haha, for us who can manipulate Aether, this is quite difficult in itself.]
Indeed. Ian thought so.
The Galewind Dragon King’s timeline matches… If they mostly standby near Dragon Island after reaching the Fifth Energy Level, then the actual Tella time they’ve experienced should be around nine hundred to twelve hundred years.
That is indeed the time when the Qing Steel Dragons and other third-generation True Dragons were gradually born.
And the initial foundation of Dragon Island should be the Star Nemesis, destroyed by the internal conflict of five Ancestral True Dragons.
After the Star Nemesis shattered, the remaining celestial bodies became laboratories for many second-generation True Dragons and birthplaces for third-generation True Dragons, but by the time Qing Steel Dragons were born, there were not many True Dragons left on Star Nemesis.
It is likely that before Qing Steel Dragons were born, the cornerstone of Dragon Island was already sent into Tella orbit, becoming a planetary monitoring station.
If the Galewind Dragon King did not lie, then the phrase ‘Dragon Island Black Hole’ having ‘New Moon’, essentially meaning that Ancestral True Dragons used ‘Dragon Island Black Hole’ as a vacuum cleaner to sweep all lunar fragments between Terra-New Moon…
This project should have been completed during the Lost Epoch, with the Dragon Island Black Hole gaining mass, and Terra no longer being struck by meteorological disasters.
As for the Galewind Dragon King’s age… it indicates they have twenty-eight years left until the ultimate limit of True Dragons.
Even with the support of a black hole, they can only extend life for eighty-four to a hundred more years for the humans on Terra.
Not long, not short— for the Galewind Dragon King, twenty years may pass quickly.
For Terra People, it is equivalent to three to four generations.
At this moment, Ian understood many things.
First, with the mass of a planet and its satellite, it is impossible to naturally collapse into a black hole. The Dragon Island Black Hole was created by Ancestral True Dragons or dragons of the mentor generation, aiming to ensure strong True Dragons could exist as long as possible for Terra Humans.
Moreover, to maintain its stable, utilizable state, it requires dragons to constantly maintain it. Follow current novels on novel~fire~net
The Four Great Dragon Kings are perhaps the ‘cornerstones’ maintaining Dragon Island.
No wonder why no other Fifth Energy Level True Dragons individually vied for the Dragon King position…
Because becoming a Dragon King means loneliness.
The other True Dragons’ five hundred years were spent on Terra, with humans, their followers and subjects, their partners and friends.
The Dragon King’s five hundred years are mostly spent curled in the twisted space-time curvature of the black hole, waiting, only leaving for arbitration when necessary.
Their whole life is spent on Dragon Island, gazing at this Tella Continent… it’s not even a overlook, but a gaze of envy.
In their viewpoint, Terra is a world accelerated several times.
Time passes, mentors silent, peers one by one return to their graves, even the earliest fourth-generation True Dragons have reached their life span limits.
While these third-generation True Dragons still keep watch in the black hole.
But even so, they are about to reach the end.
In less than a hundred years, Dragon Island needs four new Fifth Energy Level Dragon Kings to succeed.
And this dragon… preferably one with eternal life beyond the Star God’s lifespan limit, a Flesh and Blood True Dragon!
In other words, dragons similar to Sio, Anfa!
—I see, perhaps from the beginning, when Dragon Island was created, Ancestral True Dragons and mentor True Dragons had already thought of all this!
—Therefore, Dragon Island signed a contract with humans, no matter what method, to find a way for True Dragons to break the limit… and by utilizing the ports left by The Creator, they successfully formed Flesh and Blood True Dragons similar to ‘Sio’!
Even if the price is bearing the Void Demon’s Poison, it is still feasible!
As for Anfa’s mother, Lady Xiya Lai Ta’s blood-borne nurturing is another path, although more perilous, as not every ‘Anfa’ has a living second-generation True Dragon father.
[It seems, without me saying anything, you have already figured it all out.]
The Galewind Dragon King senses Ian’s thoughts. Even though most of the boy’s thoughts were entrusted to the soul, he still could read Ian’s superficial thoughts through sensing neural microcurrents and offers confirmation: [What you think is correct, that is how it is.]
[The time remaining for the Dragon Kings is not much… If Dragon Island cannot have four Fifth Energy Level True Dragons or corresponding Fifth Energy Level Sublimators to maintain, it will fail to sustain the stability of the Aether flow around the black hole.]
[Then, a real disaster will occur.]
[So, I ask you… Ian, do you want to become a True Dragon?]
[Become… a Dragon King?]
The Dragon King extended an olive branch to Ian… for Ian at this moment, perhaps since arriving in Terra World, this is the greatest opportunity after meeting Teacher Hiliad and obtaining the Silver Chip.
