Destroy the Flying Flame Land.
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone present fell silent.
"Uh..."
The first one to speak was Adalbert. The researcher who had worked with Ian for a long time knew very well that his boss, funder and superior would occasionally go crazy, so he said rather tactfully. : "For the empire, this is indeed an extraordinary achievement...but Ian."
"No matter what, there are two fifth-level powerhouses in Feiyandi. These are not objects that can be destroyed when the weather gets cold, right?"
——The Seven Cities Alliance is pretty much the same.
If Ian could know Adalbert's inner thoughts, he would definitely complain about him to no end. Why, the Seven Cities Alliance can be wiped out casually if it only has one fifth-level person?
It really works!
But now, he explained patiently: "Feiyan said there are two fifth-level people, but in fact they are about to separate."
"The relationship between the Absalom bloodline and the Nirmathas bloodline was originally very bad. The two parties were able to form the Flying Firelands together simply because they needed to join forces to fight against the Empire, Far Shore Island and the Seven Cities Alliance— —But not long ago, the empire successfully prevented the two major bloodlines from supporting each other by attacking on the Western Front and the Great Desert Front at the same time, and they were defeated one after another. Now the other country is blaming each other for being the culprit of the failure of the war."
"The responsibility for the failure of the war with the empire must be passed on to the other party. In this era of voting, it is even more important to pass the blame. The two major bloodlines must blame each other and prevent themselves from becoming 'losers'."
"But this is just canvassing for votes, right?" Ethan couldn't help but ask: "It's really a matter of life and death. After all, the two bloodlines have been working together for so long. It's impossible for them to just sit back and watch the other side perish - and Ian ."
At this point, Isengard raised his finger seriously and reminded Ian: "Although I believe in your strength, Ian, you must remember... when you show that you can defeat one-on-one, With the strength of a fifth-level strongman... you will be targeted by all fifth-level people."
“Why do all the big forces need a strong fifth level or multiple fifth levels? It’s because no one is sure of defeating another fifth level. They can only rely on the number of joint forces or It’s the ‘intelligence’ of the Apocalypse Armed Forces like Junling Castle.”
"But most of this kind of heritage can only be used for self-protection, or the price is too expensive to accept. That's why the continent of Terra can maintain peace and stability."
"But Ian, if your arcane path really gives you the power to defeat other fifth-level people one-on-one, then you have to be careful. Your power will arouse the fear of everyone else, even Join forces to suppress it!"
Isengard is obviously very concerned about the perpetual motion voting. He is also concerned about the actions and thoughts of the fifth-level powerhouse. What he said is indeed correct.
When Ian really conquers the territory of another fifth-level powerhouse and devours his voting area... then no matter who it is, he wants to join forces with others to target him!
This is the reason why Terra is now 'barely at peace' and 'unable to truly unify' - because the fifth-level powerhouses will also join forces to fight against other stronger beings.
Therefore, without the absolute strength to suppress the entire Terra by oneself, it will never be possible to truly unify Terra.
The perpetual motion declaration only prevents these strong men from destroying the world when they fight, but the logic has not changed.
"I understand, I have a way to solve it. When the time comes, no one will be afraid of me...at least, they will have to wait until I conquer the next force."
In this regard, Ian is also confident, but no one knows where his confidence comes from.
"I do believe you...you always have all the plans."
Anfa shook his head slightly: "With your strength, arcane path, and the power of this mysterious pioneer platform, you can indeed defeat Dastil Absalom or Savaga Nirma. Sass. But the problem is that the people of Flying Flame actually trust their fifth level. How to get them to vote for you is the real key."
"Otherwise, your victory over either of them will cause their people to turn to the other."
"Unless you defeat the two fifth-level people in Flying Flame Land at the same time."
But this is obviously too difficult. Anfa did not finish his words. Unlike Axel, Axel was taken away by Ian and Mikael after he left his imperial capital. If he defended the imperial capital and did not take the initiative to attack and expose his flaws, Then even Ian can't defeat a Sun Bird who doesn't want to win.
As for Anfa's question, Ian laughed: "Anfa, you have been in Canaan Moore before, so you don't know our plan."
"How to make people in other countries accept my rule, this is what we are doing now."
With that said, he raised his hand and pointed to the 'Pioneer Space' that has been upgraded and is now reconnecting with many pioneer users: "This is the source of my confidence - Pioneer Space, and the deep integration with it. 'Heart of Terra'."
The silver-cyan Pioneer space is essentially composed of the cyan Pioneer platform and the silver Heart of Terra. The huge computing power of the Heart of Terra provides various functions for the Pioneer Platform, and the Pioneer Platform builds the base of the Pioneer space and attracts many qualified Pioneer reserves to connect with this space.
"This..."
For a moment, Anfa blinked. Although she understood the power and various magical uses of Pioneer Space, she still showed a puzzled expression: "But isn't it only for elites?"
"According to you, Pioneer Space will only select those who are likely to make a huge change in the world in the future. At the very least, they are also people who have endless curiosity and will not stop and rest on their life journey - forgive me. Frankly speaking, it’s not that I don’t believe in the abilities of the people of Terra, but the vast majority of ordinary people should not meet the conditions of the pioneer space.”
In this case, why is Ian confident that by virtue of pioneering space, he can win the support of people in other regions?
“Because all the functions of the pioneer space can actually be extracted and built in the virtual network.”
Ian smiled, he raised his hand, and a light curtain appeared, inside which were various things in the Silver Peak Territory and Xiahui City: "And the virtual network and terminals are now already in the empire and many other countries." Regional popularity."
"Think about it carefully, if all the functions in the Pioneer Space are deleted, if they are moved to the terminal, and open to all ordinary people, will ordinary people like it and accept it?"
“The popular online library has removed some high-risk and difficult books, but the basic knowledge is completely open, and a high-precision ‘search engine’ has been added.”
"With the popular online battle platform, even ordinary people will not reject battles that are not dangerous and will not lead to death, right? Rather, based on the customs of the Terran people, I think most people are willing to fight through battles Come and improve yourself.”
"With an efficient 'online communication platform', in the future, everyone can use the terminal to contact people they don't know far away, form groups, and build a line with 'like-minded people' in other regions or even other countries." Going to the communication group... Although there is no reason, I believe that this is definitely one of human beings' favorite ways to 'pass time'. Only a few people can resist the temptation of chatting and blowing **** with group friends!"
With that said, Ian showed his friends many plans that he plans to update in the future: "The pioneer space is a higher-level 'VIP space'. There are many services and functions here that are not available on the terminal network. However, there is no intersection between the two."
"What Axel did inspired me a lot. Yes, if people don't experience a thing, how can people know its advantages and disadvantages? Therefore, I never intend to divide the pioneers. space and terminal networks, but to connect the two."
"Today, the Pioneer Space has very few functions, but in the future, I will continue to expand its functions."
"For example, live broadcast - whether it is the Ascendants or our unique bloodthirsty people in Terra, they must be happy to watch the battle between the strong ones? If nothing else, during the Battle of the Sun, there will be many Few residents risked the disaster of light and looked up at the moon to watch the battle between me, Mikael and Axel."
"This is very dangerous, and I do not recommend it. However, what if the simulated battle process of some third- and fourth-level powerhouses in the Pioneer Space was exposed? Do you think anyone would be willing to watch it? ”
"I would be happy to..."
Xio murmured to herself, and the red-haired dragon girl hammered her palm with her hand. She suddenly became excited: "I'm quite happy!"
"Wow, my mother has always said that I don't have enough actual combat experience, but where does the Silver Peak Leader have any actual combat experience? I can't beat the strong ones, and you and Adlbert have them all covered, and I'll just crush the weak ones. If it is suppressed, there is no need to fight at all... I really want to know how true dragons and sublimated ones of the same level can fight evenly!"
"I want to, too." Anfa also nodded and admitted, but compared to Xiou's excitement and impatientness, she was a little doubtful: "But, will anyone be willing to disclose the details of their battle? Inside our Pioneer Space It’s just about collecting information. If it’s made public... there are many schools that regard their skills as top secret!”
"As long as you think about it, it doesn't matter whether it is top secret or not. As long as the reward is enough, there will always be someone willing to disclose it."
Ian waved his hand, and he brought up several light screens and mind maps, and talked to his friends: "In addition, I will also open a professional question and answer platform - everyone Everyone can ask questions on it, or answer other people's questions. If you like it and adopt it more, you can get rewards, and then everyone can point out everyone."
"Of course, if the content is not reviewed, this kind of platform will eventually become a collection of jokes and stories, but it is also quite interesting, isn't it? This is also a function that both pioneer spaces and terminal networks can have."
"In addition, there are also social blog publishing places, personal art exhibitions, novel websites, etc..."
At this moment, Ian's burst of enthusiasm and creativity simply stunned everyone present.
"Some of them I seem to have heard about in the records of pre-epoch civilizations...but some of them are not even found in pre-epoch civilizations..."
Isengard murmured to himself. He vaguely felt a sense of familiarity from ancient times from these entertainment ideas.
"Is this... really what you want, Ian?"
As for Adalbert, it was somewhat difficult to accept that Ian worked overtime harder than him, worked harder than himself, and was more of a workaholic than anyone else. On weekdays, he had almost nothing to do except hold banquets with friends like them. The prophet of entertainment can actually come up with so many interesting 'features'.
He was simply unbelievable: "Don't tell me that these are all the heritage of pre-era civilizations!"
"Well... almost."
The white-haired prophet pondered for a while, then nodded.
As productivity and social progress continue to intensify social competition, the vast majority of the world's population will be marginalized and unable to participate in the production of products and services, while most of the world's wealth and power are concentrated in a small group. in human hands.
This situation is perfectly applicable to Terra today, that is, a small number of Ascended people control most of the power and wealth, and it is difficult for other ordinary people to fight against them on technology, violence and any other level.
In the past, powerful people ignored or were unable to deal with this problem. Even if Inaga II wants to provide education so that some people can 'keep up', knowledge itself cannot make people become sublimators, which means they cannot keep up with the strong group, so this is doomed to fail.
Only the arcane path can allow everyone to keep up with the strong group and not be thrown too far... But even so, we must admit that it is impossible for this world to reach the point where 'everyone is strong' level, so they still need a kind of entertainment to numb themselves.
The Internet, live streaming, games, social platforms, and more 'hobbies'... these things can fill most people's lives, make them feel happy and ignore dissatisfaction.
Yes, this will make some people lose their ability to think about the real world and can only focus on entertainment.
However, there are indeed many people who are willing to immerse themselves in entertainment.
Those who yearn for the distance, yearn for strength, and hope to achieve eternal achievements and transcend the world are only a few after all.
Ian believes that Terra lacks too many entertainment methods, which causes people to be mentally stressed and have no other pursuits except strength. And not everyone is suitable for pursuing strength, so it is so deformed. sorrow.
A world that doesn’t allow people to let go of their brains and play happily, a human society without games, will become as crazy as Terra, it is only a matter of time.
"So, I want to return the power of 'relaxation' to humans. The reason why I want to create agricultural buildings and centralized breeding areas is to solve the problem of human food and clothing, and then...let everyone have fun. power."
Said so, looking around at his friends, Ian said firmly: "How much do you think the people's so-called 'loyalty' to the fifth-level powerhouse is worth?"
"When they are defeated by me, when the aura of the strong recedes, they will find that I can also provide the so-called shelter."
"In this case, do you think people would rather be mules and horses in Feiyan Land, or would they rather be under my command..."
"Be a happy player?"
