922: Chapter 73: The Realm of Thousand Stars, A Brand New Chapter (5600)_2 922: Chapter 73: The Realm of Thousand Stars, A Brand New Chapter (5600)_2 And the entire Iron Dragon Nest…

Ian observed for a moment and realized this place was likely the ‘medical area’ where Qing Steel Dragons used to conduct experiments and hibernate.

If Ian were ever injured one day, and the Sacrificial Flame on Holy Mountain didn’t have enough energy to heal him, he could simply come to the Iron Dragon Nest and learn the True Dragon’s regeneration secret, hibernating to heal his wounds!

Now Ian didn’t need to use it, but the defensive strength of the Iron Dragon Nest was indeed substantial; he felt that he could transfer some sensitive and valuable materials here.

Protected by the Dragon’s Blessing Lock, even beings of the Fourth Energy Level generally couldn’t damage the Iron Dragon Nest, nor infiltrate it.

“In this safe place, devoid of others…

It indeed allows one to calm down and ponder some important issues.”

Since there were no people around, Ian simply sat down, lying on the bottom floor of the Iron Dragon Nest, staring up at Cloud Gate, the slowly rotating dark gray vortex serving as the entrance.

The young man muttered to himself: “True Dragons…

it’s now completely confirmed that they have a significant connection with the Heavenfall Spaceships.”

“Moreover, Terra is special.”

Just as Ian had guessed, a planet like Terra, gathering who knows how many civilization’s Sparks, was definitely not ‘normal standard’—and considering the dialogue between Qing Steel Dragon and its mentor, there were over a thousand Sparks on Terra?

A thousand Sparks!?

Thinking of this, Ian wondered if Qing Steel Dragon might actually be exaggerating, saying something like ‘thousands’ or ‘tens of thousands’…

But Dragon language is very precise; it mentioned more than a thousand.

That raises a question.

What kind of calamity could compel over a thousand interstellar civilizations to desperately launch their Sparks, to be collected by True Dragons and their behind-the-scenes ‘Creators’, and then gathered on Terra?

No no no…

perhaps the question should be rephrased.

The True Dragons and their Creators…

what exactly do they plan to do by gathering over a thousand, perhaps even more, Sparks in the Terra Starfield?

According to the conversation with the True Dragons, the Creators have a ‘grand plan’.

But honestly, even with Ian’s unmatched consumption of science fiction novels in Terra and the imagination he fostered from truly witnessing the cosmos in his previous life, he couldn’t immediately grasp what this plan entailed.

That’s a thousand Sparks, in other words, the essence of a thousand interstellar civilizations…

And this grand plan, because of the Creators’ spaceship encountering an attack, ultimately crashed into the moon of vista, and fell tragically on Terra.

Clearly, the Creators have enemies in the outer cosmos.

Thinking this, Ian started to feel the complexity of the matter…

but after calming down, he realized these were actually simple events.

Bluntly, all of this is related to ‘Star Prison Tianyu’.

The True Dragons and Creators, clearly, are civilizations from the true cosmos that wouldn’t be stopped by Star Prison Tianyu.

First, there’s the Ancestral True Dragon.

Axis Dragon Aertolum, also known as [Axis Ark]—that entity that seems essentially like a super sci-fi warship, is clearly some kind of Ark mothership.

As the name suggests, its likely function was as a massive ‘initial base’.

Thus, after the shattered star war, as the victor, Axis Dragon was able to swiftly establish various outposts with the accompanying second generation True Dragons, creating the laboratory bases capable of transforming Sparks and creating third generation True Dragons.

Secondly, it concerns a well-known fact: very few beings exist in the cosmos, and even fewer possess intelligence and self-awareness, not to mention those able to create civilizations reaching the space era without self-destructing…

these are truly cosmic treasures.

Within one Milky Way Galaxy, it’s hard to say if there are even a hundred interstellar civilizations.

Rather, it would be amazing just to gather a hundred civilizations with intelligence!

The Creators are obviously a super civilization capable of moving across galaxies; that is the baseline, otherwise they couldn’t have collected over a thousand Sparks.

And the True Dragons, at least the first generation of True Dragons, definitely had some technology capable of catching up to the Creators’ speed, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to carry so many Sparks and create the third generation True Dragons.

The extent of their technological prowess is hard to clarify, and the civilization they battled must also be unbelievably strong—Star Prison Tianyu was definitely created by one of them.

Otherwise, with the strength of the Ancestral True Dragons, they absolutely wouldn’t have stayed within the Terra Starfield with the cracks in Star Prison Tianyu, instead of leaving…

Is it fear of existences outside of Star Prison Tianyu, or perhaps something else…?

These remain unknown.

But no matter what, there definitely are clues related to them behind the scenes related to Star Prison Tianyu.

Ian gathered his thoughts.

He turned his head, looking toward the silver crystal Spark beside him.

True Dragons indeed matched Ian’s speculations based on the Crystal Dragon—Crystal Dragons transform themselves into forms suitable for local ecosystems, while True Dragons warp local ecosystems to match their own forms.

The former clearly lacks the sufficient energy and resources, a beggar’s version, whereas True Dragons, possessing the innate Aether Furnace Core, naturally can contend with and conquer nature at will.

However, he hadn’t expected the True Dragons’ essence to actually be ‘Sparks’!

They are the ‘guardians’ or shall we say ‘surveillants’ used by the Creators’ civilization to monitor various civilizations.

Although Qing Steel Dragon speculated that the role of True Dragons is to guide civilizations, Ian couldn’t fully believe it.
