Chapter 284 Origin
It is a bone staff made of dragon bones.
Luo Yan had seen something similar in Professor Lilith's magic workshop, so he recognized the material of this thing at a glance.
Identity scanning...is it DNA verification?
The "dragon's blood" given to him by the Dragon God was not really a blood exchange for him after all, it was just a buff in the context of dragon language.
Luo Yan's heart moved slightly, and he immediately snatched the bone staff from the old lizard man's hand and thrust it towards the silver-white metal structure.
As expected!
The moment the bone staff touched the silver-white metal structure, a faint shimmer appeared on the silver metal mirror again.
"Identity is being scanned... information matching... Verification successful..."<br/>
It's done!
Although there were some obscure words mixed in, Luo Yan still understood the general idea with his limited vocabulary.
With a soft "squeak" sound, the smooth metal shell cracked at some point, and then opened to both sides like a big mouth, revealing a passage leading to the interior.
The milky white light lights up the interior of the passage.
Luo Yan did not feel any fluctuations in magic elements, and there was no specific light source on the smooth surface, as if the material itself was emitting light.
This is...
Technology?
The look in Luo Yan's eyes became more and more surprised, not only because what happened before him was far beyond his knowledge and imagination, but also because this strange-looking device could still be successfully activated after thousands of years and tens of millions of primitive people!
This is incredible!
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty..." High Priest Zell walked up to Luo Yan with excitement in his eyes. He knelt down on the ground excitedly and said eagerly, "You, you actually opened the artifact that our Ankylosaurus family has passed down from generation to generation! Your body As expected, the blood of a true dragon flows in your heart, and you are the descendant of the Dragon God... We, the Ankylosaurus clan, are willing to serve you forever!"
Luo Yan glanced at the high priest who was lying on the ground, and threw the recently used dragon bone cane into the storage ring.
The blood of a real dragon is okay...
He clearly used the dragon bone to activate the mechanism on this thing. This guy can really tell lies with his eyes open.
However, this is not the point.
"An artifact passed down from generation to generation? What do you mean."
Seeing the Demon King confiscate his crutch, Zell felt pain but did not dare to ask for it, so he could only say with a grimace and his head lowered.
"Rumors... In the deepest part of the Dragon Temple, there is the Dragon God's egg buried, and only those with the Dragon God's bloodline can open it!"
Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.
Looking at Zell's twinkling eyes, Luo Yan immediately understood what he meant, and couldn't help but raise a playful smile at the corner of his mouth.
Indeed.
If he were the king of the Holy Armored Dragon Kingdom, he would still not want that dragon god to come back.
Why do you want Him to come back?
Catch more slaves? Turn stone into gold?
It’s not necessary.
· A group of tribesmen together can't defeat a single finger of the Ankylosaurus clan. As long as there are no problems within the Holy Ankylosaurus Kingdom, they will be invincible on this continent.
Occasionally, two unlucky guys wash up on the beach and just kill them.
The statue of the god can just stay on the shrine and enjoy the worship. If the Dragon God Gutav really steps down from the temple, I am afraid that these nobles and priests will be the first to die of fear.
Thinking about it this way, this temple may not only be dedicated to the dragon god Gutafu and use sacrifices to scare ungrateful believers, but also to "suppress" Gutafu.
Otherwise they would not have built the temple higher and thicker.
This is not the will of one or a few careerists, but the consensus of the entire Holy Ankylosaurus Kingdom’s ruling class.
However, now that the Holy Armored Dragon Kingdom has been completely defeated, the old consensus naturally no longer exists. The high priest obediently presented the "key" and gave him the power to liquidate history -
It was the egg that awakened the Dragon God.
Let’s maintain the old order!
Zel looked at Luo Yan nervously, waiting for the new owner of this continent to make a choice for the future of all of them.
Different from the nervous Zell, Luo Yan didn't have that much inner drama. After all, he didn't think this thing was a dragon egg at all, but thought it was more like a spaceship.
Or to be more precise -
Like the landing module of a spaceship.
Luo Yan found no obvious power components on its external structure, and the long spindle-shaped structure seemed to be designed based on aerodynamics.
As we all know, real spacecraft do not need to consider aerodynamics, only aircraft flying in the atmosphere need to be considered.
Of course.
This is just a conjecture he made based on his shallow knowledge. After all, there is nothing similar on the earth. I am afraid that even a mechanical god may not be able to figure out the principle.
"Sarah, you stay at the door, I'll go in and take a look." Without any hesitation, Luo Yan walked towards the open door.
「Yes!」
Looking at the Demon King who was planning to go alone, Sarah was worried, but she still put her right fist on her chest and nodded, loyally guarding the door.
Zel wanted to keep up with Luo Yan with a worried face, but before he had taken two steps, a sharp gaze was placed on his neck like a dagger.
A drop of cold sweat slid down his scales and fell to the ground. He swallowed unconsciously and took a step back, but bumped into Arrakto's spider leg.
"Be careful, little guy..." Arlacto opened his mouth, and a ferocious smile appeared on his six-eyed forehead, "The Demon King asked me to spare your life, but you must not walk into my mouth yourself."
Zell was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.
"Alacto, don't do unnecessary things." Sarah looked at Alacto with an indifferent expression and scolded him in a cold tone.
Halracdo's spider body trembled. Although his face was not timid at all and he hummed back, his body still lay down obediently, only cursing in his heart.
On the other side, Luo Yan, who entered the silver metal structure, stepped forward alone.
There were no gaps in the floor under his feet, and shallow fluorescent veins appeared with every step he took, as if living metal was responding to his presence.
Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered in a deep voice:
"—Alchemical Eyes."
The blue magic circle quietly unfolded under his eyes, and spiritual consciousness spread around like ripples, penetrating the solid wall.
This is not a brilliant magic, but it is very easy to use.
With the help of the alchemical eye, his sight easily penetrated the walls that exuded a milky white soft light, as if the entire structure was just a transparent skeleton.
However, even so, he could not understand the internal structure. The complex and exquisite design looked like the work of aliens to him——
No.
The precise word is not "like", but "just".
If it was just a guess before, now he has been able to confirm that this thing is a spacecraft of an extraterrestrial civilization!
And the legendary "Dragon God" Gutav is actually an alien! ?
"This is too...unbelievable."
Luo Yan looked around, and couldn't help but let out a familiar sigh again. And Yuyou had the same reaction as him, floating quietly beside him, too shocked to speak.
"The Dragon God is actually not from this world..."
Hmm...Although I think it's a bit outrageous, if you think about it carefully, isn't Lint Isaac the same? And myself."
Him "A certain substance that exists widely in this world can respond to the strong spiritual energy of conscious individuals and interfere with the operating rules of the material world.
In order to anchor people's restless spirits, gods were born in this world.
But this is deriving the cause from the result.
The more likely fact is that an unstable spirit has brought disaster, and in order to seek spiritual peace, people have unconsciously called on the gods to come during the long process of history.
In this process, the intelligent creatures living on this planet not only created local gods.
It also unconsciously brought in some outsiders from the outside world who did not belong to this world.
For example, the Four Gods of Chaos.
For example, the God of Machinery.
And now——
We have to add another Dragon God!
Luo Yan was shocked.
Before setting foot on the continent of Janna, he never imagined that he would discover such shocking facts on this island-like land.
If the Dragon God is an alien, then aren't these lizard people and the legendary dragons who claim to have the blood of the Dragon God the descendants of aliens? !
It’s really scary to think about it.
Luo Yan continued to move forward and soon came to a slightly protruding circular space.
The walls here are recessed, and the seats are arranged around a central silver counter. A large arc-shaped black mirror hangs vertically in front, like a driver's window.
However, when he was outside, he did not see this window at all.
"This is...the cockpit?"
Luo Yan looked around, dispersing the magic condensed between his brows, trying to find the start button on the black mirror, which was as flat as a mirror.
It’s a pity.
He searched around but couldn't find it.
But at this moment, he suddenly thought of the keel cane that Zell had given him before, so he immediately took it out of the storage space and poked it on the screen.
【……Identified】
Dragon language words appeared in the center of the black mirror. Luo Yan roughly guessed that the incomprehensible words should mean "DNA", "genetic information" or something like that.
At this moment, there was a soft sound of "drip" above his head, and a light blue pulsed light circle instantly spread along the center of the black mirror until it submerged into the wall next to it.
Just when Luo Yan was carefully observing what was happening, low dragon language came to him from all directions, and then white subtitles appeared on the dark mirror - "Biometric identification has been completed..."
"Registration name: Gutafu; Access level: Captain; Permission has been activated."
Luo Yan frowned and listened with bated breath while staring at the subtitles on the black mirror. Relying on the dragon language knowledge he had learned out of interest, he could barely understand the content presented on the black mirror.
It seems to be a diary, written by the dragon god Gutafu himself, recording in detail the entire incident of the crash of the "Conqueror" he was riding on...
…
【Captain's Log·Cycle 5478·Conqueror's temporary record backup】
【Recorder: Gutav A. Walter, Commander-in-Chief of the Zeta Empire's Ninth Scientific Research Fleet and Chief Captain of the Conqueror. 】
【Record type: Personal private diary (unarchived)】
【——I know I will be forgotten eventually, but at least someone should know that we have been here. 】
"Sand, stones, endless trees, and a group of hairless monkeys who are not very smart. Unfortunately, I fell in this unlucky place. Fortunately, they did not eat me, but regarded me as a god who fell from the sky... because a wildfire caused by a dangerous landing burned several of them to death."
"As for why I am here, it has to be said about a damn experiment... Although I have no hope of going back, but I still want to record what I know as much as possible. "
"I can't remember the specific day of the unlucky day. I only remember that the experiment codename was "Delta-71". I don't know if you can search for the name of the relevant project in the scientific research entries after picking up this diary. My boss told me that it is absolutely confidential, but now... screw it, let me talk about it when I get back."
"In short, this research is very weird. The project leader told me that this is the highest priority research project of the empire. The goal is to find subspace jumping technology that is more advanced than hyperspace jumping technology. It is said that in subspace, the concept of time does not exist, and even dimensions can be manipulated at will... I don't understand those complicated terms, but as long as it is for the empire, I am willing to accept no matter how dangerous the experiment is."
"The content of the experiment is very simple. I need to drive my research ship through a star gate located near Research Station No. 111, and then fly back from the other end of the gate... It's that simple, it should be that simple! But the trouble is, the door disappears after I pass by!"
"This is a one-way ticket. I flew to a completely unfamiliar star field! There were no signals around, and there were no doors. I seemed to appear here out of thin air! After the transition beam attenuated, my aeronautical chart became a blank piece of paper, with no star markers and no signals. Even the basic cosmic background radiation did not match the model I was familiar with."
"This is not the worst. The worst thing is that the energy consumed by this jump is far more than I imagined. The Conqueror is not a distant planet research ship, but a conventional scientific research ship that mainly performs scientific research tasks near low orbit. The ship does not have a hyperspace engine and a jump guidance device, and the experimental subspace engine is completely paralyzed."
"What a hell! I still remember the person in charge patting his chest and assuring me that they used an unmanned ship to carry a subspace engine, and successfully jumped three times in a row. They found me after ensuring that nothing went wrong... Why did it fail as soon as I got on it?"
"So much for complaining. I tried to send a signal to a nearby station for help, but unfortunately there was no response. At this moment, the gravitational field of the nearby natural satellite captured my scientific research ship. I had no time to adjust the orbit, so I had to switch to the emergency plan-take the landing module and make an emergency landing on a nearby unknown planet that was suspected of having signs of life."
“The landing was relatively successful, except for causing a fire. Just like what I observed in outer space, this is a planet full of oxygen and liquid water. The gravity is slightly greater than the standard gravity. The ecology is extremely active. Mammals occupy an advantageous position in evolution and have even given birth to civilization...but their civilization is quite primitive.”
"Brothers from the Colonial Department should be interested in this place, but I just want to leave here now. The trouble is, this accident has completely lost my hope of going back. The only hyperspace communication module is on the research ship, and it has completely lost contact. The passive signal transmitting device on the landing craft does not have long-distance communication capabilities, so I can only hope that the spacecraft passing by by chance can find me."
"But I also know in my heart that this possibility is very slim. The anomalies in the cosmic background radiation have already explained many problems, and the comparison of the star maps also made me more certain that this is probably not the universe we are familiar with..."
I am halfway through the log.
Luo Yan was more and more surprised the more he looked at it, this was simply the interstellar version of Robinson Crusoe...or should I say "Gutav Crusoe".
"Good guy... Dragon God Gutafu is actually an alien?!" Yuyou was so shocked that her whole soul froze, and she was motionless on the dark mirror, with her abstract mouth open and speechless for a moment.
Luo Yan did not pay attention to it, but rubbed his chin with his index finger, lost in thought, and murmured to himself.
"Zeta civilization...research ship...subspace? Experiment?"
Although he could not understand every word in this diary and could only rely on his imagination and reasoning to try to understand it, he still understood the first half of the letter and marked some uncommon words to understand the following content.
And what surprised him even more was yet to come——
"...What surprised me even more is that what makes this world different from our world is not only the stars above our heads, but also the physical laws of this world."
"I am a staunch materialist, and I have always scorned the argument that spirit can affect matter. However, those primitive people showed me the power that is incredible to me... They created fire from their hands out of thin air, water out of thin air, and water turned into ice!"
"I thought it was some kind of trick at first, but the changes on the heat indicator told me that their energy did come out of nowhere! Or at least it was moved from another dimension through a method unknown to the Zeta Empire!"
"Incredible! A group of primitive people actually mastered energy from a higher dimension. With curiosity about unknown things, I had nothing to do and tried to translate their language and communicate with them as gods, and learned from them the existence of extraordinary power. And this so-called extraordinary power is even more amazing than I originally imagined... It seems to be a spiritual force field that exists in all dimensions and is completely determined by consciousness!"
"What's interesting is that they regarded me as their god, thought that their power was given to them by me, and asked me to give them more. I told them that it was too difficult and asked them to change their wish. Then the guy who called himself the king begged me to give him a mount, preferably one that could fly, and be big enough and fierce enough!"
"This is not difficult for me. The d-7447 meat lizard perfectly meets his standards. At most, a pair of wings can be edited in the DNA code. I also need to add a safe and reliable source of protein, so I used gene synthesis technology to create embryos of the d-7447 meat lizard, and asked the primitive people to raise them for me."
"Those primitive people happily accepted this gift and called it the dragon, and then called me the 'Dragon God'. Although I don't like the name they gave me, and I especially hate being confused with the meat lizards, I can understand the world more easily through them, so I decided to use them temporarily to satisfy their spiritual dependence on me... I swear, this is not because I really have nothing to do, nor is it because their praise makes me drifting."
“In this way, we lived together peacefully for fifty years. They worshiped me as a god, fed me the d-7447 meat lizard, the dragon in their mouth, and then used the power of the dragon to conquer other primitive animals. The Kingdom of the Founder. As for me, I am living in seclusion in the forest of this strange planet, waiting for the elusive rescue, while using the time that I have no place to vent to delve into the mysterious supernatural power, and do some experiments to pass the time. "
"However, in the fifty-first year, something unexpected happened to me. A D-7447 meat lizard that was not supposed to have any intelligence actually acquired the mind of an intelligent creature. , and even mastered extremely dangerous magic! In order to escape the fate of being a sacrifice, it caused a scene at the altar, not only killing the primitive leader who believed in me, but also destroying his castle and burning his village to the ground!"
"I don't care about those hairless monkeys, but illegally enlightening non-intelligent creatures is a serious crime in the Zeta Empire! Especially enlightening meat lizards... Damn it, if others find out, I will definitely make the headlines!"
"At that time I haven’t given up the idea of going back yet, my first reaction is that I must do something before the damn rescue team arrives here! But the trouble is, those damn dragons not only can fly, but also regard me as their father... Damn it, how can I do it?”
"I hesitated again and again, and finally decided to borrow the hands of those hairless monkeys. Although they are weak in strength, their numbers are sufficient. I told them that those who disobeyed me are evil dragons. As long as they can kill those fallen scum for me, I will give them some extraordinary power..."
"It just so happened that this group of hairless monkeys were tortured by the out-of-control dragon, and they immediately expressed their willingness to become dragon hunters, hunt dragon traitors for me, and even dedicate their souls to me! Haha, these idiots have no idea that I am the cause of the trouble. They are really stupid and ridiculous." , who illegally enlightened them."
hhh "But at this moment, something strange happened again! A dragon hunter came back to me and knelt down on the ground to express his gratitude to me excitedly. He seemed to have really gained strength because of my promise... although I have no idea what happened."
hhh "And the weirder things are yet to come, he is not the only one who has gained power!"
"I seem to have power comparable to that of a god..."
