The Demon King is unfathomable

Chapter 284 Origin
That 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 scan... could it be DNA verification?

After all, the "dragon blood" bestowed upon him by the Dragon God did not really replace his blood, but 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 lizardman's hand and poked at the silver-white metal structure.

as predicted!

At the moment when the bone staff touched the silver-white metal structure, a faint glow appeared on the silver metal mirror again.

"Identity is being scanned... Information is being matched... Verification is successful..."

Become!

Although there were some obscure words in it, Luo Yan still managed to understand the general idea with his limited vocabulary.

With a slight "hiss" sound, a crack appeared in the smooth metal shell, and then it opened to both sides like an open mouth, revealing a passage leading to the inside.

A milky white glow illuminates the interior of the passage.

Luo Yan did not feel any fluctuations of magical elements, and there was no specific light source to be found 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 everything that was happening before his eyes far exceeded his cognition and imagination, but also because this strangely shaped device had gone through thousands of years and the torment of tens of millions of primitive people, but it could still be successfully started!

This is incredible!
“Your Majesty…” High Priest Zel’s eyes were filled with excitement. He walked to Luo Yan’s side in two steps, prostrated himself on the ground, and said eagerly, “You, you actually opened the sacred artifact that our Ankylosaur clan has passed down from generation to generation! You really have the blood of a real dragon flowing in your body. You are the descendant of the Dragon God… We, the Ankylosaur clan, are willing to serve you forever!”

Luo Yan glanced at the high priest crawling on the ground, and threw the dragon bone cane he had just used into the storage ring.

True dragon blood is okay...

He clearly used the dragon bone to activate the mechanism on this thing. This guy can really lie with his eyes open.

However, this is not the point.

"A divine weapon passed down from generation to generation? What does that mean?"

Seeing the Demon King directly confiscate his cane, Zel felt painful but did not dare to ask for it back. He could only say with a bitter face and lowered his head.

"Rumor has it... In the deepest part of the Dragon God Temple, there is a Dragon God egg buried. Only someone with the Dragon God's bloodline can open it!"

Luo Yan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Then why don't you use it yourself?"

"This..." Zel hesitated for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Your Majesty...Excuse me, do you really want the Dragon God to come back?"

Looking at Zel's flickering eyes, Luo Yan immediately understood what he meant, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

indeed.

If he were the king of the Holy Armor Dragon Kingdom, he would also not want that Dragon God to come back.

Why let Him come back?
Capture more slaves? Turn rocks into gold?

It's not necessary.

A group of tribesmen combined cannot defeat even a finger of the Ankylosaur clan. As long as there are no problems within the Holy Ankylosaur Kingdom, they are invincible on this continent.

Occasionally, two unlucky souls would wash up on the beach and be killed.

The statue should just stay on the shrine and enjoy the offerings. If the dragon god Gutaf really comes down from the temple, I'm afraid these nobles and priests will be the first to be frightened to death.

Considering this, this temple is probably not only for worshipping the Dragon God Gutaf and using sacrifices to intimidate the disloyal believers, but also for "suppressing" Gutaf.

Otherwise, they would not have built the temple higher and higher and thicker.

This is not the will of one or a few ambitious people, but the consensus of the entire ruling class of the Holy Ankylosaurus Kingdom.

However, now that the Holy Armored Dragon Kingdom has been completely defeated, the old consensus naturally no longer exists. The high priest obediently offered the "key" and handed over the power to settle history to him.

It is the egg that awakens the Dragon God.

Let’s maintain the old order!

Zel looked at Luo Yan nervously, waiting for the new master of this continent to make a choice for the future of all of them.

Unlike the nervous Zel, Luo Yan did not have such a rich inner drama. After all, he did not think that this thing was a dragon egg at all, but rather thought it was more like a spaceship.

Or to be more precise -

Like a spaceship landing module.

Luo Yan did not find any obvious power components on its external structure, and the long shuttle-shaped structure also seemed to be designed based on aerodynamics.

As we all know, real spacecraft do not need to consider aerodynamics. Only aircraft flying within the atmosphere need to consider aerodynamics.

Of course.

This was just his speculation based on his limited knowledge. After all, there was nothing similar on Earth. Even a mechanical god might not be able to figure out the principles behind it.

"Sarah, you stand guard at the door, I'll go in and take a look." After saying this, Luo Yan walked towards the open door without any hesitation.

"Yes!"

Seeing the Demon King planning to go alone, Sarah was worried, but she still put her right fist on her chest and nodded, loyally guarding the door.

Zel tried hard to keep up with Luo Yan, but before he took two steps, a sharp gaze was pointed at 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 Arakdo's spider leg.

"Be careful, little guy..." Arakdo opened his drooling mouth and a ferocious smile appeared on his forehead with six eyes. "The Demon King asked me to spare your life, but don't walk into my mouth."

Zel was so frightened that he almost lost his soul.

"Arakdo, don't do unnecessary things." Sarah looked at Arakdo indifferently and scolded him in a cold tone.

The spider body of Arakdo trembled, and although there was no fear on its face and it snorted back, its body still lay down obediently, only complaining in its heart.

On the other side, Luo Yan entered the silver metal structure and walked forward alone.

The floor beneath his feet was seamless, and every step he took emitted faint fluorescent veins, as if living metal was responding to his presence.

Luo Yan narrowed his eyes slightly and whispered in a deep voice:
"——Alchemy Eye."

A dark blue magic circle quietly unfolded before his eyes, and his spiritual consciousness spread out in all directions like ripples, penetrating through the solid wall.

This isn't some advanced magic, but it's very useful.

With the help of the Alchemy Eye, his sight easily penetrated the walls that were emitting soft milky white light, as if the entire structure was just a transparent skeleton.

However, even so, he could not understand the internal structure. The complex and ingenious design seemed like the work of aliens to him.

No.

To be precise, it is not "just like" but "is".

If it was just a guess before, now he can confirm that this thing is a spaceship from an extraterrestrial civilization!
And the legendary "Dragon God" Gutaf is actually an alien! ?

"This is too... incredible."

Luo Yan looked around and couldn't help but sigh again, as if he had seen it before. Youyou had the same reaction as him, floating quietly beside him, too shocked to speak.

"The Dragon God is not from this world..."

"Well... although I think it's a little outrageous, if you think about it carefully, isn't Lint Isaac the same? And myself."

A certain substance that is widely present 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 unstable spirits, gods were born in this world.

But this is inferring the cause from the result.

The more likely fact is that unstable spirits brought disasters, and in order to seek spiritual peace, people unconsciously called for the advent of gods in the long course of history.

In this process, the intelligent creatures living on this planet not only created local gods.

It also unconsciously pulled in some outsiders 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 a dragon god!
Luo Yan was shocked.

Before setting foot on the continent of Janna, he had never imagined that he would discover such a shocking fact on this isolated island.

If the Dragon God is an alien, then aren't these lizardmen who claim to have the blood of the Dragon God and the legendary giant dragon the descendants of aliens? !

It's really scary.

Luo Yan continued to move forward and soon came to a slightly protruding circular space.

The walls here are concave, and the seats are arranged around the central counter. A large curved black mirror hangs vertically in front, like a driver's window.

However, when he was outside, he didn't see the window at all.

"Is this... the cockpit?"

Luo Yan looked around, dissipated the magic condensed between his brows, and tried to find the start button on the smooth black mirror.

Unfortunately.

He looked around but couldn't find it.

But at this moment, he suddenly thought of the dragon bone cane that Zel had given him before, so he immediately took it out from the storage space and poked it on the screen.

【…Identified】

Dragon language characters appeared in the center of the black mirror. Luo Yan roughly guessed that those incomprehensible characters should mean something like "DNA" or "genetic information".

At this moment, a soft "beep" sound was heard above his head, and a light blue pulse light circle instantly spread along the center of the black mirror until it disappeared into the wall next to it.

Just as Luo Yan was carefully observing what was happening, low dragon language came to him from all directions, and white subtitles appeared on the dark mirror -

"Biometrics completed..."

"Registered name: Gutav; Access level: Captain; Authorization activated."

Luo Yan frowned, held his breath and listened attentively while staring at the subtitles on the black mirror. Relying on the knowledge of dragon language he learned out of interest, he barely understood the content presented on the black mirror.

It seemed to be a diary, written by the Dragon God Gutaf himself, which recorded in detail the entire process of the crash of the "Conqueror" he was riding...

……

[Captain's Log·Cycle 5478·Conqueror's Temporary Record Backup]

[Recorded by: Gutav A. Walter, Commander-in-Chief of the Ninth Scientific Research Fleet of the Zeta Empire and Chief Captain of the Conqueror.]

[Record type: Personal private log (unarchived)]

[——I know I will be forgotten in the end, but at least someone should know that we were here. ]

"Sand, rocks, endless trees, and a group of not-so-smart hairless monkeys. Unfortunately, I landed in this unlucky place. Fortunately, they didn't eat me, but regarded me as a god from the sky... A forest fire caused by a risky landing killed several of them."

"As for why I'm here, it has to do with a damn experiment... Although I no longer have any hope of going back, I still want to record everything I know as much as possible."

"I can't remember the exact date of the bad luck. I only remember that the experiment code was 'Delta-71'. I don't know if you who picked up this diary can search for the relevant project name in the scientific research entries. My boss told me that it is absolutely confidential, but now... screw it, I'll tell you when I get back."

"In short, this research is very weird. The project leader told me that this is the Empire's highest priority research project, and the goal is to find a subspace jump technology that is more advanced than hyperspace jump technology. It is said that in the 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 any dangerous experiment."

"The experiment is very simple. I need to drive my research ship through a star gate near Research Station 111, and then fly back from the other side of the gate... It's that simple, it should be that simple! But the trouble is, the gate disappeared after I passed through!"

"This is a one-way ticket. I flew to a completely unfamiliar star field! There are no signals around, and there are no gates. I seem to have appeared here out of thin air! After the jump beam faded, my chart became a blank sheet of paper. There are no star marks, no signals, and even the basic cosmic background radiation does not match the model I am familiar with."

"That's not the worst. The worst thing is that the energy consumed by this jump is far beyond my imagination. The Conqueror is not a distant planetary survey ship, but a conventional research ship that mainly performs scientific research missions near orbit. The ship does not have a hyperspace engine or a jump guidance device, and the experimental subspace engine is completely paralyzed."

"What a hell! I still remember the person in charge patted his chest and assured me that they used an unmanned ship equipped with a subspace engine and made three consecutive successful jumps, ensuring that there was no room for error before they found me... How come it failed as soon as I sat on it?"

"That's enough 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 a nearby natural satellite captured my research ship. I didn't have time to adjust the orbit, so I had to switch to an emergency plan - take the landing capsule before the crash and make an emergency landing on an unknown planet nearby that was suspected to have signs of life."

"The landing was successful, except for the fire that broke out. 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 evolutionary advantage and have even given birth to civilization...but their civilization is quite primitive."

"The brothers in the Colonial Department should be interested in this place, but I just want to leave now. The trouble is, this accident has made me completely lose hope of returning. The only hyperspace communication module is on the research ship, and it has been completely lost. The passive signal transmission device on the landing craft does not have long-distance communication capabilities. I can only hope that a spaceship passing by here by chance can find me."

"But I also know in my heart that this possibility is very slim. The anomaly of the cosmic background radiation has already explained many problems, and the comparison of the star map has also made me more certain that this is probably not the universe we are familiar with..."

I'm halfway through the log.

The more Luo Yan read on, the more surprised he was. This was simply the interstellar version of Robinson Crusoe...or should it be called "Guttaff Crusoe".

"Oh my god... the Dragon God Gutaf is actually an alien?!" Youyou was so shocked that her whole soul froze. She stared at the dark mirror without moving, with her abstract mouth open, unable to utter a word for a while.

Luo Yan ignored it, but rubbed his chin with his index finger, fell into deep thought, and muttered to himself.

"Zeta civilization... research ship... subspace? Experiments?"

Although he could not understand every word in the 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 unfamiliar words so that he could understand the following content.

What surprised him even more was yet to come——

"…What surprised me even more was that this world was different from ours not only in the stars above our heads, but also in the laws of physics in this world."

"I am a staunch materialist. I have always scoffed at the idea that spirit can influence matter. However, those primitive people showed me a power that was beyond my imagination... They conjured fire from their hands out of thin air, conjured water out of nothing, and made water freeze into ice!"

"I thought it was some kind of trick at first, but the changes in the heat indicator told me that their energy really came out of thin air! Or at least it was moved from another dimension through a method that the Zeta Empire doesn't understand!"

"It's unbelievable! A group of primitive people actually mastered the energy from a higher dimension! With curiosity about unknown things, I had nothing to do, so I tried to translate their language and communicate with them as a god. I learned about the existence of extraordinary power from them. And this so-called extraordinary power is even more amazing than I originally imagined... It seems to be a spiritual force field that exists widely in all dimensions and is completely determined by consciousness!"

"The interesting thing is, they regarded me as their god, thinking that their power was given 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 grant him a mount, preferably one that could fly, and that was big enough and fierce enough!"

"This is not difficult for me. The D-7447 meat lizards perfectly meet his standards. The most I need to do is edit and add a pair of wings to the DNA code. I also need a safe and reliable source of protein, so I used gene synthesis technology to create D-7447 meat lizard embryos and asked those primitive people to raise them for me."

"Those primitive people happily accepted the gift and called it a giant dragon, and then called me 'Dragon God'. Although I don't like the names they gave them, especially when confused with those meat lizards, I can understand the world more conveniently 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, and it's not because their flattery makes me feel flattered."

"We lived in peace for fifty years. They worshipped me as a god and fed me to D-7447, the meat lizard they called the dragon. They then used the dragon's power to conquer other primitive kingdoms. As for me, I lived in seclusion in the forest of this strange planet, waiting for rescue that was far away. I used my time, which was too rich to be released, to study the mysterious supernatural power and do some experiments to kill time."

"However, in the fifty-first year, something I could not have imagined happened. A D-7447 meat lizard that was supposed to have no intelligence actually gained 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 big commotion on the altar, not only killing the leader of the primitive people who believed in me, but also destroying his castle and burning his village to ashes!"

"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-eating lizards... Damn it, if other people find out, I will definitely be on the headlines!"

"At that time, I had not given up the idea of ​​going back. My first reaction was that I had to do something before that damn rescue team arrived here! However, the problem was that those damn dragons could not only fly, but also regarded me as their father... Damn it, how could I do this?!"

"I hesitated again and again, and finally decided to borrow the hands of those hairless monkeys. Although they are weak, there are enough of them. I told them that those guys who disobeyed me are evil dragons. As long as they can kill those corrupt scums for me, I will grant them that extraordinary power..."

"It just so happens that these hairless monkeys were tortured by the out-of-control dragon and immediately expressed their willingness to become dragon hunters and hunt dragon traitors for me. They even offered their souls to me! Haha, these idiots have no idea that I am the one who caused the trouble. They are so stupid and ridiculous."

"I gave them the task of 'slaying the dragon', and at the same time studied why the meat lizard D-7447 suddenly awakened its mind, and who illegally enlightened them."

"But at this moment, something strange happened again! A dragon hunter came back to my side and knelt on the ground excitedly to thank me. He seemed to have really gained strength because of my promise... although I have no idea what was going on."

"And the weirder things are yet to come. He's not the only one who gains power!"

"I seem to have power comparable to that of a god..."
