894: Chapter 63 Borrowing Your Head for a Moment (5600)_3 894: Chapter 63 Borrowing Your Head for a Moment (5600)_3 So Ian could use the body of this ‘evil person’ to become an even more recognized Emissary of the Dragon God by the Mountain People?

——So…

now.

——Am I actually the sacrifice?

“But this is the only way I can think of.”

Reality and dreams are completely opposite, filled with irony.

Kode couldn’t help wanting to laugh; with a bitter smile, he spoke to himself as he walked towards death, “I haven’t read many books…

I really can’t think of any other way…”

“Ian…

the famous prodigy of the Imperial Capital, even the Fiery Flame Land knows your reputation — you may truly have a way to guide the Mountain People to thrive again.”

“Instead of like me, turning them into the sacrifice for your dreams?”

Kode stared intensely at Ian, waiting for an answer he couldn’t think of, an answer he couldn’t give.

“I’ve never read books…

Yes, that’s right.”

After a moment of silence, Ian sighed, pulling his two swords out of his enemy’s body, causing large splashes of blood: “If everyone could learn from the mistakes of history, if everyone could thoroughly understand the knowledge within books…

many mistakes could be avoided.”

“I do have a method.

In my eyes, the Mountain People aren’t sacrifices, but useful tools, essential materials.

Just like myself, no different.”

“So now, I’ll be borrowing your head.”

The Emissary of the Dragon God swung his sword, decisively beheading Chief Kode.

A powerful being of the Third Power Level has died.

Despite his heart being filled with countless regrets and pain, Kode Jiamu indeed did not resist; he accepted his death with openness and died under the Sacred Steel Dragon Nest of the Mountain People.

Ian took his head, hung it at his waist, then turned around to look at Sio, who had been silently watching everything with earnest, and at the familiar-looking red-haired Dragon Girl on Sio’s real body.

“Sio, this female body of yours is stronger than the male one, huh.”

Ian raised his eyebrows, glanced at Sio’s original body, then at the red-haired Dragon Girl, and he could see this point at a glance: “The male one is only at the First Power Level, while the female one has…

strength close to the Third Power Level!

If possessing the Heart Light Body, it would also have the strength of the Third Power Level.”

[After all, it has been used for decades, it surely had to be cultivated to be stronger]

Healthy and hearty, Sio laughed heartily in response, with a seasoned sense of ‘graduating from one small account, and starting another small account.’

The once vicious Deformed Dragon’s Dragon Head, no longer ferocious, gently moved as the golden dragon eyes focused on Ian, curiously saying:[Ian, your strength…

ah, that I shouldn’t ask, Mother told me, whatever you say, we acknowledge it as truth]

“Then I really must thank the King of the Mountain for the consideration.”

Ian couldn’t help but almost burst into laughter; in fact, he ended this battle so quickly mainly because of Sio’s arrival, which prevented him from revealing any powers related to The Unyielding Fortress.

All the other powers were fine and could be explained, and if push came to shove, could simply be attributed to the enhancement of the Dragonization Organ at the Holy Ground.

However, if information related to The Unyielding Fortress leaked through Sio, that would be bad.

However, it must be said that the battle with Kode did allow Ian to gain a lot of valuable information.

Fighting against him, Ian almost used every technique at his disposal except for the Armor Suit, and only managed to break even with a combatant of the Third Power Level — the Sublimation Path of Terra is indeed very solid.

With so many external aids, Ian found it extremely difficult to fight above his level and it could even be said he might not necessarily win.

But conversely, if such a tight system could be reformed and revitalized with fresh energy…

then indeed it was a ‘major event’ capable of changing the world’s structure!

Ian looked at Kode Jiamu’s corpse at the bottom of the pit, waved his hand, and the surrounding rainwater gathered into a stream, carrying the muddy rainwater, covering the pit.

Time flows by, and perhaps on this vast land, another Purifying Spirit Wood will grow by the side of Holy Mountain, becoming the nourishment for the dreams of many successors.

This might also be the common final outcome for all Plant-type Sublimation Practitioners.

“Let’s go, Sio.”

Ian didn’t say much more.

Kode Jiamu indeed was a formidable enemy, but not the real final boss.

Decapitating him was just the first step; there were many more things Ian had to do next.

[Of course]Sio nodded slightly, her mechanical wing on the right side drooping down, even having a structure akin to a staircase:[Where are we heading to?]

“To the Frodo Autonomous Region.”

Ian ascended the stairs and stood next to the Dragon Maiden; as they took off flapping their wings with steady and rhythmic vibrations, he raised his hand, pointing to the distance with a calm yet resolute tone: “We’re heading there to prevent the civil war among the Mountain People.

Kode’s head will serve as the reason for a ceasefire.

They are all part of my power in the future; the bloodshed must stop.”

“Whether they are willing or not, peace must descend upon them.”

[…Ian]

Sio hadn’t really spent much time with the boy, but she became intrigued by this unusual ‘individual’ due to his Dragon Blood and subsequent reputation as a prodigy—and later, Ian helped her escape from Avak’s trial facility and cured her of the Void Poison mutation, all critically important assistance.

The True Dragon wanted to better understand her friend, so as to more effectively assist him in the future.

So she asked:[Do you truly wish to become the Mountain People’s Lord?

This path has been attempted by many Mountain People for hundreds of years, and most have failed due to The Empire, due to the Mountain People themselves, due to inadequate resources, due to insufficient land…

I’ve heard Kode’s words, and although he’s a bad person, and uneducated, even with education, it is very hard to find a solution to these problems]

[Moreover, the moment you quell the disputes among the Mountain People, you’ll become a thorn in Fiery Flame Land’s side!

They will surely stop at nothing to incite the extremist Independent Villagers to assassinate you, or even deploy military force to eradicate you!]

Sio objectively laid out the facts, wishing to know where the young man’s ambitions truly lie.

And Ian gave her his answer.

“Current measures cannot solve the ‘current predicament.’ Only ‘future technology’ can solve the ‘current predicament.'”

“Only new things that have never before appeared can resolve old problems that have long accumulated.

Though technology cannot resolve all troubles, without new technology, a predicament would be a dead end.”

Turning his head slightly, Ian said with a smile: “Sio, if you’re really curious, I hope you will stay in Xiawei Territory and witness the changes I will bring to the Mountain People, the Bison Mountain Range, and Southern Ridge Province.”

Sio’s Dragon Maiden synthetic form paused for a moment, she blinked and then smiled: “Okay.

But I need to tell my mom first.”

——Great!

I can finally leave the Dragon Nest openly and with dignity!

Sio thought, feeling sweetly satisfied in her heart.

And after becoming more familiar with Ian, she could ask if she could use his appearance for her new synthetic body!

——Excellent!

With a Third Energy Level True Dragon openly protecting the territory, many things will now have justification.

Ian thought.

Without a Third Energy Level presence, there’s only so much Xiawei Territory could do.

But if tied to a True Dragon, especially since Sio was the offspring of the King of the Mountain, then whatever upheaval happens, it’s merely ‘Dragon Technology,’ which is not a big deal.

“As for Fiery Flame Land and other extremist Independent Villagers, I am actually not worried about them.”

Turning his head, Ian looked at the streaming clouds sweeping backward—Sio was fast, and it seemed they would soon reach the Frodo Autonomous Region: “What they possess is merely the simplest form of violence.

And the ways to confront violence are just greater violence, sturdier fortifications, and more potent weapons.”

At that moment, the inheritor of The Unyielding Fortress said calmly: “If it really comes to that.”

“I believe that I shall be the unshakeable side.”
