Chapter 863 Recognizing a Master! The Decisive Icarus!

[What happened in just two days that Instructor Su hurriedly left the Eagle Kingdom?]

[The secret behind Gerndall's consistently grim expression during the recent contact with the Dragon Kingdom...]

Negotiations between the two most powerful beast-taming nations have broken down. In this era, where does humanity's future lie?

【…】

Once seated on the plane, the sea of ​​clouds above did nothing to attract Su Ping and Chu Lang's attention; instead, they watched with great interest the constantly popping-up news feeds.

The various gimmicks certainly caught everyone's attention, and these news reports clearly all pointed to the unsuccessful end of this trip to the Eagle Kingdom.

However, seemingly oblivious to the worried reports in the news, the two people sitting opposite each other on the plane appeared extremely calm. In fact, if you looked closely, you could even see the slight upturn of their lips.

Clearly, the two of them were in a pretty good mood at this moment.

For the Eagle Kingdom, their visit this time has brought them absolutely no benefit.

Not only did Su Ping take away the pet beast with the core of the Machine God that he brought out, which had no value or direction for research, but he also took away the Time-Space Seed, which was of unimaginable value to the Eagle Kingdom, and it became one of the foundations of the Dragon Kingdom.

Even more importantly, the Skynet, a national treasure of the Eagle Kingdom and one of its most important assets, was shaken. The implications of this and the many possibilities it raises are likely to instill fear in the Eagle Kingdom.

Humans are the kind of people whose internal strife never ends, and now, it seems that a common enemy will soon emerge.

However, as long as such an enemy has not appeared in the open, and as long as human civilization has not truly reached a point of life and death, there will absolutely be no genuine instances of setting aside prejudices and cooperating with each other.

This is a flaw in human nature.

Under such circumstances, the first thing the Eagle Country would naturally think about is how to prevent all these possible situations from occurring.

However, compared to the fear and anxiety on the Eagle Country's side, Su Ping, who had successfully left this time, was clearly in a good mood.

Although he didn't achieve his ultimate goal, he wasn't greedy, so that was enough for him.

Wolf Lord let out a breath, looked at the smiling Su Ping, and asked with a smile as well:
"Su Ping, did he really do it?"

Even he found it somewhat unbelievable at this moment.

Decades ago, that mechanical legend was one of the greatest threats the Dragon Kingdom faced after it emerged from its civil war.

And now, this mechanical legend, the sword of Damocles that had hung over the Dragon Kingdom for a century, has now become something of their own.

Although, the condition for this person to join and submit is that they cannot use the net of heaven left behind by this person during their lifetime.

But, that's enough.

Such geniuses exist.

If they could create the first Skynet, they could also create a second one in the future—it's just a possibility…

Chu Lang, the Wolf Lord, frowned slightly:

“Su Ping, Icarus is not like Erslin. You know about the special circumstances in the Lion Kingdom, no matter what. However, Icarus is a legendary beast tamer who was born and raised in the Eagle Kingdom.”
Having grown up under the mindset of the Eagle Nation, his love and loyalty to his country are inevitable.

Therefore, you must also be careful. Icarus might even obtain some valuable breeding data from you and then give it to the Eagle Kingdom. If that happens, it would be a huge loss.

Wolf Lord's concerns were clearly justified, and this was also one of Su Ping's concerns.

From everything that happened after the other party was resurrected, it is clear that the old man is loyal to the Eagle Kingdom. Su Ping can understand such loyalty. After all, their positions are different and the forces they represent are different, so it is not so easy for them to change their mindset.

This can be seen from his willingness to relinquish control over Skynet.

Not controlling the Skynet only reduces control over the Eagle Kingdom, but there is still a lot of confidential information on our side: information on the cultivation of the Machine God Core, the mysteries of mythical skills, the use of chaotic energy for Beastmasters to advance to the mythical level, and the transformation of possessing pets.

These are all classified information on our side, and even classified information of the Dragon Kingdom. If the Eagle Kingdom were to find out about this information, they would also be at a disadvantage. Although Su Ping is not afraid of the other party finding out since he has core information, if such a thing happens, Icarus will obviously be unusable.

This is the only mechanical legend in the entire era of Beast Tamers since the birth of mechanical pets. Su Ping himself would feel it would be a pity if he were to be scrapped like this.

Su Ping thought of this and nodded thoughtfully.

"I'll think of a way to deal with this. I don't mean to control the other side, but I won't let the hunter get his eyes pecked out by the birds."

Su Ping still lacks experience in mechanical training, because even in the Heart of Ten Thousand Spirits, let alone in the Dragon Kingdom, he urgently needs to train mechanical pets.

Putting aside everything else, the Jiaolong ship on Suping's side is still the first to bear the brunt.

He still has a strong attachment to his first car.

After the damage to the Jiaolong, given his current status, he could have easily acquired another mechanical aircraft, but he has never used it since.

The Pride Dragon is not just an ordinary aircraft; it is also the culmination of Dragon City's ongoing research and development in mechanical dragon technology.

However, because the research on mechanical systems is still inadequate, the limits of the Pride Dragon are limited. But the research on mechanical dragons is currently the most important research direction in Dragon City.

The first requirement of the Heart of All Souls is absolute comprehensiveness.

With the power of the Myriad Spirits Compendium, focusing solely on the research of a single type of pet beast would be a huge waste even for Su Ping himself.

After all, the side effects of this cheat are still unknown, so in order to make full use of this power and effect before the side effects appear, shouldn't Su Ping try his best?

Meanwhile, on the other side of the Mechanical Heart, besides the original bulky mainframe, there was a large area of ​​mechanical cultivation base.

The place was quite large, but there were almost no skilled cultivators. After destroying the Golden Heart and the Golden Society's arrangements in the Dragon Kingdom, Mad Saint Wu Kuang left directly.

Currently, within the Heart of Machines, the only one who can be considered a trainer is Ryuji, his former bodyguard and driver.

However, as a peak-level beast tamer of the Emperor level, Long Er could indeed protect Su Ping's safety before, but Su Ping's strength improved too quickly.

It's no longer needed. So, this former member of the Dragon Kingdom's top special beast-taming unit has been living in the Heart of All Spirits for over a year, studying the numerous mechanical blueprints that Su Ping had obtained, while also thinking about how to restore the Proud Dragon.

Now, Icarus's arrival can be said to have completely transformed the mechanical heart of the Heart of All Souls, equivalent to the arrival of a pillar of stability.

However, if this pillar of stability has malicious intentions and the possibility of betrayal exists, then everything else is another matter.

Thinking of this, Su Ping's eyes narrowed slightly.

After thinking for a moment, he summoned Xiao Shi directly. Then, the pages of the book opened, and an elderly white man with white hair stepped out from the pages.

He wasn't someone who wanted to use mind control, and he did have such methods, but using them to control a top-tier, legendary cultivator would be a waste of his talent.

The old man's eyes were somewhat dazed, but he quickly recovered.

In fact, Su Ping's resurrection process was somewhat accidental.

Under the soul connection of the Skynet, which lasted for a fleeting moment, it still contributed a bit of power in the long river of time that had reversed, successfully dragging back the soul that should have naturally dissipated.

If it were to happen again, and Skynet's access permissions were not granted, Icarus would likely never be able to be resurrected.

But success is success.

“Senior Icarus, we have left the Eagle Country and will arrive at the Dragon Country in about three hours.”

The old man paused slightly, then nodded:

"I once visited the Dragon Kingdom, but its mechanical research was still in its infancy. I met a little guy there, and his ideas were extremely interesting, but unfortunately..."

Su Ping raised an eyebrow, looking at the old ghost:

"So you've been to the Dragon Kingdom before, senior. I wonder who you saw there?"

Before Icarus could speak, Wolf Lord beside him chuckled and said:

"Senior Icarus, you must be referring to Wu Kuang, right?"

Icarus looked at Chu Lang, his azure pupils showing a hint of reminiscence before quickly locking onto him:
"So it was you. You've actually advanced to the legendary level too. It seems the Dragon Kingdom has truly risen to prominence..."

He then paused and continued:

"That's right, it was indeed that kid named Wu Kuang. At the time, I was the visiting envoy, and that little guy was the companion. This little guy's approach to cultivating mechanical pets was more inclined to modify themselves, transforming themselves into something controlled by electronic core devices like mechanical cores."

His idea was actually quite good, but I rejected it outright because I knew I no longer had the energy or time to continue researching the mechanical cultivation of human beings.

I wonder how that little guy is doing these days?

Su Ping was slightly taken aback and looked at the old man. Now it seemed that Wolf Lord's words were definitely worth considering.

That old rascal is really dishonest.

No, once we get back, that old rascal's activities need to be monitored by Fatty in real time.

Seeing Su Ping's expression, Icarus burst into laughter:

"Master Su, you have surpassed your teacher. Even the core of the Mech God, which I only proposed as an idea and a preliminary cultivation concept, was completed by you directly. Do you still need to be wary of me?"

Su Ping chuckled:
"I truly did not expect you to be so enthusiastic and loyal to the Eagle Kingdom."

Icarus sighed:

"What I experienced was the most glorious era of the Eagle Kingdom, a golden age when everyone in the Eagle Kingdom truly had the opportunity to rise up. I was just an ordinary beast tamer from a farming family."

"We wouldn't have reached this point without the nurturing of the Eagle Kingdom, and the loyalty and righteousness that the Dragon Kingdom values ​​are precisely embodied in this."

Su Ping nodded:

"indeed so."

Wolf Lord frowned slightly, but Su Ping ignored him and continued:
"However, Senior Icarus, you dedicated your life and countless efforts to the Eagle Kingdom. Your death can be considered a perfect way of giving back to all of this."

However, now, Icarus, it is I who have resurrected you. Your new life, and everything you will experience and see in the future, are all bestowed upon you through my power.

Then, I wonder if the loyalty and righteousness you speak of should also apply to me?

Upon hearing this, Wolf Lord was slightly taken aback, as was Icarus.

Yes, without the Kingdom of Eagles, he could not have reached that point, could not have become this renowned mechanical legend, could not have created Skynet, numerous blueprints for space and aerospace machinery, and could not have pioneered so many new applications of mechanical engineering.

However, before his death, he gave everything to the Eagle Kingdom, even severing ties with his pet beast and leaving it there.

Therefore, Su Ping was right; he really didn't owe the Eagle Kingdom anything.

This time, his complete resurrection was thanks to Su Ping. It's no exaggeration to say that Su Ping gave him a second life. Without Su Ping, he wouldn't have had this opportunity. So, should he repay Su Ping in the same way?

This question silenced Icarus, who then nodded.
“Master Su is right. You have indeed given me a second life, allowing me to see this world again and to resume my research on mechanical breeding. Rest assured, since I have made a promise, I will not have any further contact with the Eagle Country that involves interests.”

After a pause, it was clear that such a promise lacked persuasiveness. So, the mechanical legend from the Eagle Kingdom quickly did something neither Su Ping nor Wolf Lord had expected: he directly released an extremely powerful and sharp wisp of mental energy.

"I swear on my soul that I will never do anything that would harm Master Su's interests without permission. If I do so, may my soul perish, and may I acknowledge Master Su as my master..."

Su Ping blinked. This old man was quite straightforward and decisive.

Finally, he breathed a sigh of relief and, with his mind at ease, the plane slowly took off and returned to the skies above the Dragon Kingdom.
