Chapter 921 - 921 73 The Realm of Thousand Stars A Brand New 5600

921: Chapter 73: The Realm of Thousand Stars, A Brand New Chapter (5600) 921: Chapter 73: The Realm of Thousand Stars, A Brand New Chapter (5600) All illusions and memories dissolved, everything happened in just an instant.

Ian leaped down from the summit of the Iron Dragon Nest, his body smoothly entered the side of the Iron Dragon Nest through the Cloud Gate, and he landed steadily on the ground.

This place is deep underground, a huge dragon nest constructed of Qing Steel Stone.

If the entire Iron Dragon Nest looks like a massive volcanic crater from the outside, then from the inside, it resembles a very regular upright egg-shaped space.

The bottom of the egg is the dragon nest itself, where the Quenched Steel Dragon is probably healing its wounds.

The ground seems hard, but when touched, it has a surprisingly soft and flexible feel.

The egg-shaped space is surrounded by flickering metallic fluorescence, providing considerable bright light to the entire Iron Dragon Nest.

Ian looked up, surveyed the interior of the Iron Dragon Nest, and then slightly widened his eyes—there were hundreds upon thousands of Inscription Arrays, made from over a hundred different sublimation materials, enveloping the Iron Dragon Nest securely from the inside out.

This is the Dragon’s Blessing Lock…

the Rune Technology of True Dragons!

It’s no wonder that neither The Empire nor any other True Dragons have considered using brute force to open it…

With such tight security, if not operated by the program, everything inside could easily self-destruct—such a loss is unacceptable to both Humans and True Dragons.

The luminescence from the Inscriptions came from all directions, making Ian, standing in the center of the dragon nest, shadowless.

He moved his gaze away from the walls, instead looking at the ‘object’ in front of him, flickering with a faint silver brilliance.

It was a ‘Spark’ wrapped in silver crystal, embedded in the heart of the Iron Dragon Nest, emitting an exceptionally clear radiance that bestowed a special warmth upon the human body, as if one was amidst a vast crowd, surrounded and gazed upon by countless people.

Without a doubt, this was the ‘Spark’ left by the Quenched Steel Dragon.

[Starna Civilization Spark]

[Inestimable·Essential Protected Item·Inedible]

[This is the last Spark launched by the Starna Civilization located at the end of the fifth arm of the Great Tianxin Star System before their demise.

It contains all of the civilization’s technology, biological, and cultural data.

Feeding on the data within, it catalyzed the formation of the Quenched Steel Dragon Solstina.]

[Spark integrity: 99.82%]

[…]

The information provided by the Silver Chip also confirmed this, and Ian realized that the Spark in front of him was the central hub of the entire Iron Dragon Nest, not merely a bearer of information, but designed by True Dragons as the control nexus of their own lair.

The special Qing Steel ecosystem created with the Iron Dragon Nest at its center might just be due to this Starna Civilization Spark.

Ian slowly walked towards the silver Spark, crouched down, and touched the light.

The gentle and warm light.

There was a faint repulsive force pushing the young man’s hand away.

“Indeed, it feels just like a True Dragon…

the essence is the same!”

Closing his eyes and murmuring slowly, Ian had a moment of realization: “So True Dragons are actually Sparks…”

At this moment, Ian had fully assimilated all memories he obtained from the Quenched Steel Dragon’s inheritance, gaining complete understanding.

Now it seems that the first stop for the Mountain Folk inheriting the legacy of the Quenched Steel Dragon, to become the Emissary of the Dragon God, is probably to come to the Iron Dragon Nest.

Based on the density of Dragon Blood within their body, which is the Bloodline of ‘the People of Dragons’ remodeled by Solstina, determines how much knowledge the successor can obtain from the ‘Starna Civilization Spark’.

This is why the Emissaries of the Dragon God from generation to generation could possess exceptionally extensive knowledge, for that is part of the essence of a civilization.

But no one can compare with Ian.

Only Ian has fully received the Quenched Steel Dragon’s inheritance, aware of the essence of True Dragons and their ancient secrets.

After leaving the Iron Dragon Nest, the next destination should be the Qiang Steel Sacred Mountain…

There, the Emissary of the Dragon God will decrypt the knowledge of the part of the Spark they hold through the Glimmer Cradle System, and fully understand the origins and endings of the Quenched Steel Dragon’s life.

Finally, they should head to Dazzling Lake, learn the secrets of the largest resource site of the Mountain Folk, gain the knowledge required by the Mountain Folk Priest, master the Book of Silver Radiance, and become the dual leader of both the secular and religious facets of the Mountain Folk’s faith.

And Ian was clever—he did everything in reverse.

He first acquired the Book of Silver Radiance, then went to Dazzling Lake, became the self-proclaimed Emissary of the Dragon God, followed by his journey to the Qiang Steel Sacred Mountain, and finally came to the Iron Dragon Nest, where he obtained the true Mark of the Emissary of the Dragon God.

It can only be said that the world is truly strange, as long as one has the key prop of the Silver Chip, even the sequence of the plot can be reversed!

However…

“Aren’t there too many marks?”

Ian stood up, looking at the Dragon Head with a thorny crown pattern on his right hand, and couldn’t help but remark: “My left hand has the Aether Crystal, inside my chest is the Ancient Dragon Heart Core, my right hand has the Emissary’s Mark, and my forehead has the Spirit Gods…

What should I tattoo on my back?

‘Loyal Patriotism’ or ‘The Traveler’s Code’?”

“The stomach…

Ugh, I can’t tattoo on my stomach.

Sigh, that should be enough, it’s not like I’ll have to cover myself in tattoos in the future, which would be completely unhealthy.”

Shaking his head vigorously, Ian tossed aside the mental image of himself covered in marks.

There’s no need to take away the silver Spark for now; it’s the central hub of the Iron Dragon Nest, and removing it might cause problems.

After all, the Emissary of the Dragon God’s inheritance that Ian received is essentially a miniature Spark; all he has to do is go decode it at the Glimmer Cradle System later.

Even this isn’t urgent, since there’s no point in having the information without a lab to recreate it in.
