837: Chapter 49 It’s Just Like the Stars (6700)_4 837: Chapter 49 It’s Just Like the Stars (6700)_4 But unfortunately, many of the ‘Sparks’ stored in the Cradle of Twinkling Light have already been lost, even the Qing Steel Dragon failed to find any traces of them.

Ian also deeply regretted this—each Spark, in a sense, contains the civilization of an entire planet, even all of its ecological information.

The rich ecology and environment of Terra today may well be the mixed product of Sparks leaked from multiple Cradles of Twinkling Light.

If one must say, the current ecology of Terra quite likely fits the conjecture of a ‘Gaia Planet’…

This type of planet can perfectly accommodate the ecological needs of any life form, or help any species find a suitable habitat within it.

However, there is another quite important function in the Glimmer Cradle System.

It can decipher the information contained in any Spark, whether the life form is carbon-based, ammonia-based, sulfur-based, iron-based, or consists of Spirit Energy, Phantasms, Domain of Void, sub-entities, gaseous state, or creatures made of light.

Whether it’s a hive cluster, mechanical gestalt, Spirit Energy group, true social life, or a cooperative society…

Any life, any civilization’s Sparks, no matter how strange they are, no matter how many times they have been encrypted, the Glimmer Cradle System can decipher them, extract their information, and store it.

This function is undoubtedly designed by the civilization behind the Skyfall Spaceship, to better preserve civilization information—it is a universal decryptor.

After all, some civilization’s Sparks might not be very well preserved and can only be absorbed by the Skyfall Spaceship before creating a stable one on their own.

Upon seeing this function, Ian’s heart fluttered slightly.

Perhaps others might regret the loss of the Sparks and find this function a bit amusing—what’s the point of a function that extracts information if there are no Sparks left?

That’s because they don’t have Sparks in their hands and won’t be able to get any in the future, hence the sentiment.

But Ian knows that within the South Sea Great Labyrinth, there are at least several Spark ships!

As a research base specializing in the study of extraterrestrial ecology, the Sparks preserved within Redwood Base are kept inside its major ecological gardens!

Although some may have leaked and created the vastly different ecology inside and outside of the Great Labyrinth, and have also created the prevalence of metal-based lifeforms around the Bison Mountain Range…

the essence of the Sparks must still be inside the Great Labyrinth!

Just take them out and store them in the Cradle of Twinkling Light…

with the technology of this Skyfall Spaceship to fully extract and decipher them…

“I will have the entire data of a metal-based planet, all of its biological ecology and civilization?!”

This, undoubtedly, would be the most precious treasure within the Cradle System!

Thinking this, Ian’s heart beat faintly.

Even someone as calm as he couldn’t help but envision the future: “With this, there’s no need to worry about the storage of biological technology…

As long as I can establish the biological laboratory in the Xia Hui Territory, with Adalbert’s assistance, all of this will develop rapidly…

and perhaps, with this information, I can optimize many structures of the True Form Bloodline Inheritance and Magic Potion!”

Even the Unyielding Fortress may not be perfect, Hiliard admits.

He has always been telling Ian that if he has the chance to improve the Unyielding Fortress in the future, then he should just go ahead and do it.

As an experimental inheritance, its success was due to his genius, but his path may not suit Ian and others.

Ian deeply agreed.

For instance, the Third Energy Level Stone Lord, in his view, was too focused on defense and did not meet his requirements.

To match the high perception and high information acquisition brought by the Fairy Bloodline and Silver Chip, his Unyielding Fortress must have powerful offensive capabilities and high maneuverability…

If he had to say, those Mobile Fortresses he saw in the Imperial Capital were very much in line with Ian’s requirements.

Sturdy iron air fortresses, that is the future he wants.

However, the items needed to improve the inheritance were too numerous, and even Ian could only take it one step at a time…

And now, the opportunity was right before his eyes!

This was something only Ian could accomplish.

“But…”

Calming down, Ian sighed: “First, I need to build the laboratory—and I also need to deal with the rebellion of the Mountain People here, ensuring the stability of my territory, before I can accelerate development.”

“As for now…”

Slowly walking down from the altar at the summit, Ian approached the edge of the mountain top platform.

At the top platform of Qiang Steel Sacred Mountain, the black altar was the former Dragon Nest of the Bison Dragon God, and the surrounding constructions were the towering towers and rock pillars used by the Mountain People for sacrificial rites.

These ancient altars and Totem Pillars stand at the peak of the high mountains, reaching straight into the sky, still boasting of their past Glory to all people in the present after the decline of the Mountain People.

Ian stood on the edge of the mountain summit, overlooking the surroundings of the Holy Mountain.

The dazzling silver Sacrificial Flame was behind him, shimmering with pure colors, while below the Holy Mountain, at the bottom of the long cliff, dual-colored red and gold lights densely covered the mouth of the valley and around the mountain base.

Countless faces, the faces of hundreds of Mountain People, looked upward at the mountain that once again ignited the sacred fire, shouting excitedly, producing sounds like a tsunami.

These were the Mountain People of the Abode Tribe, the closest to the mountain, who came here first to face the rekindled Holy Mountain directly.

Waiting for the arrival of the ‘Dragon God’s Emissary’.

For a moment, the memories of the Qing Steel Dragon flashed through Ian’s mind, a blue gleam fell from his eyes, he swept his gaze over all the people below the mountain, the faces overlapping those of the ancestors and descendants of the Mountain People, giving him a feeling of familiarity and strangeness.

In their chanting and prayers, the word they were all calling out in unison, the young man at the summit couldn’t hear these voices, but for some reason, Ian could tell what they were saying.

“Dragon God!

Emissary!”

“Dragon God!

Emissary!”

“Dragon God!

Emissary!”

The Emissary of the Dragon God stood at the peak of Qiang Steel Sacred Mountain, as if a Celestial Deity backed by the sun.

Thousands of torches converged into a sea, surrounding the surging sacred fire, the roars as tumultuous as a tsunami.

The eyes of the Mountain People reflected the brilliance of the sacrificial fire in the nighttime, twinkling with ardent hope.

Those lights, those longings…

—They were just like the stars themselves.
