Chapter 1136: Chapter 163 I Allow You to Hug Me with Ian’s Face (6000)_2

In reality, the environment of the Pioneer was actually superior to Ian’s. The people of the shelter in that era were remnants of the Pre-Epoch civilization of Terra; they still remembered the glorious golden age, and each possessed the morals and insights of the age of unity… The most important point.

That is, they all knew the stars—and aspired to the stars.

If only the Pioneer had ten more years, perhaps today’s Terra civilization would not be as it is now.

(It’s just a pity there’s no if)

Ian thought to himself. Regardless of the outcome, the Pioneer ultimately did not succeed in saving the Pre-Epoch civilization; he died, the Pre-Epoch civilization vanished, and many shelters became the prototypes of the current Tara Confederation.

Of course, he did not completely fail. At least, the Rites of the Star Gods, that is, the Silver Chip, was indeed successfully transferred by him, and the Silver Chip can even be transferred again and again, nurturing many talented people including Inega II, changing the world bit by bit.

Now, this authority has fallen into Ian’s hands.

And he is just preparing to head to the Exotic Species Research Institute… returning to the burial ground of the Silver Chip’s original owner.

“I feel.”

After steadying himself, Ian turned to An Fadao beside him: “The reason why the Source Quality Calculating Chip is so important… perhaps it’s because its complete embodiment contains all the materials from the Exotic Species Research Institute.”

“In other words, the Source Quality Calculating Chip is the core of the Exotic Species Research Institute, and we already have a fragment in our hands, which provides an advantage in exploration.”

Ian did not fully reveal the truth to Anfa; the functionality of the Source Quality Calculating Chip might indeed include the aforementioned content, but its true functionality… Ian suspected it very likely pertained to the Echoes of the Pioneer.

Echo. The reason the Chehalorvo Family was disgraced in South Ridge is due to the Method of Immortality, the technology currently being researched by Protector Axer.

Its true essence is using some method to record a person’s personality and memory; when the original dies, the replicated personality and memory can replace him to continue his work.

Like an echo in the valley.

But also because it is an echo, it continually degrades over time as experiences differ and without an identical soul, the echo will ultimately differ from the original, possibly even becoming diametrically opposed… this is far from the mirror of the true Method of Immortality in theory.

The technology of the Pre-Epoch civilization had not yet reached the point of perfectly replicating souls, so it had to settle for using echoes.

In other words…

(In the Exotic Species Research Institute, perhaps there still exists the remaining ‘echo’ of the Pioneer?)

Ian did not voice this possibility to Anfa, he simply increased his vigilance internally: (Moreover, that Dark Gold Colossus Dragon… the one that flew directly outside the Star Prison Tianyu upon appearance, could be the echo of the Pioneer?)

This is not impossible, in fact, it can be said to be highly probable!

Although it’s unclear why the echo would become a dragon, or why this dragon would be fixated on the outer void beyond the Infernal Heaven… Ian knows very clearly the Pioneer’s echo definitely holds countless valuable knowledge!

Data related to the Star God, True Dragon-related materials, the most core outlines of the Sublimation Path, the essence of the Sublimator’s lifespan and related life extension procedures, Life Maintenance System… so much, within just a few seconds of reminiscing, it encompasses at least seven or eight things Ian is very interested in.

He must absolutely acquire it. Obtain the library of information possessed by the Exotic Species Research Institute and the echo of the Pioneer.

Ian has made up his mind.

So, after taking a deep breath, he said to the Ashlight Family princess: “But, from behind this chip, I see extreme danger… Anfa, I believe beneath the Exotic Species Research Institute there exists, at the Fourth Energy Level, or possibly even at the peak of the Fourth Energy Level.”

“I refrained from saying Fifth Energy Level, because I’m not sure yet, after all, I haven’t reached the surrounding area of the ruins yet; if I reach it, I might be able to provide an answer. But the peak of the Fourth Energy Level is already very dangerous, does any exploration team from the Confederation have the preparedness to counter an enemy such as that?”

“Of course.”

Anfa sincerely listened to Ian’s words, but upon hearing this sentence, she laughed, as if unconcerned by Ian’s worry: “Every exploration team of the Confederation has Fourth Energy Level strong individuals to hold the line, not to mention on our Canaan Moore side, my uncle Chairman Yafarda will personally oversee… The Yinmen Household’s inheritance, ‘The Silver Guardian,’ has the ability at the Fourth Energy Level to traverse short distances across space, with him present, everyone in the exploration team will be safe.”

“And on your Empire’s side, Crown Prince Carlos will lead the team… you know this, right? The Empire’s Royal Family’s bloodline, ‘Sunbird,’ surpasses the reaction speed of all other Bloodline True Forms; without certain predictive ability, it’s impossible to counter their attacks, and they can protect others with utmost simplicity; even a Fifth Energy Level might not be able to stop him.”

“As for the Azure Sky Royal Court strong personnel, it’s Great Khan’s third son, the master of the Solemn Moon Prairie Gonta Ximor, he’s purely very strong, might not have much advantage in protection, but even if there was a True Dragon at Fifth Energy Level, his strength could hold it for a few seconds, to last until our Canaan Moore strong personnel take action.”
