Above The Sky
Chapter 2040 - 32: Lord of the Realm of Light
"In the future, whether an error arises with the True Demon here or the seal of the Dragon Island in the sky fails, if I control this gravitational weapon module, I can directly turn the Tera Star into a black hole, drawing the Fragment of Demise towards it—thus, Terra will be safe!"
"Even though the sun is extinguished, civilization can still survive on a perpetual motion machine or some other energy source, giving me more research time to prepare!"
It can serve as a weapon, but also as a backup measure!
However, accessing it is not simple. Ian needs to create a ’magnetic monopole’ to open the Infernal Heaven, and even with his power, a massive high-energy accelerator is required to produce such extreme particles.
"Imperial Capital."
Looking up, Ian gazed in the direction of the Imperial Capital: "I need a trusted individual with the blood of the Sunbird to assist me in creating a magnetic monopole in the Imperial Capital; only then can I unlock the ’Cradle Seal’ in the Realm of Light. Of course, before that, I must speak with the Dragon Kings on Dragon Island about this matter in advance."
"Besides, it’s time to open the inheritance left by the Terra Dragon in the Atlantian Megalopolis... I also don’t know if the part of the inheritance taken by Inega II is still in the hands of the Setal Imperial Family. I’ve been too busy these past few years to ask Carlos about it."
But these are matters for later.
Right now, he has only one thing to do.
That is, to completely absorb this part of the legacy left by the Star God and become the true master of the ’Realm of Light’!
[Ian!]
At this moment, above the Valley of Light, the voice of the Pupationer faintly echoed: [Are you okay?]
"I am fine."
And Ian replied as such, his voice growing louder, more distant, ethereal, until it resonated throughout the entire light realm and Domain of Void: "Unprecedentedly well."
At this moment.
High above the Tranquil Sea on the Terra Continent, the City of Knowledge.
The Guardian of the City of Knowledge·Great Library, a mighty silver construct god, gazed down at the Vast Sea from above the layers of white clouds. This mechanical god, forged of iron yet more flexible and supple than any creature, stared into the Realm of Light.
Ian Silverpeak had used the mark of Kerraith to enter the Realm of Light, something it was well aware of. But as one who purely admired Ian’s talents, it would not hinder Ian’s actions.
It was curious, curious about Ian’s potential, curious whether his venture into the light realm this time would unravel a mystery hidden for millennia.
[The truth of the Light Realm is hidden beneath countless layers of bright radiance, but we all know it could harbor the most dangerous of darkness... we dare not touch it, cannot touch it, knowing an answer lies there yet have not found the question.]
[And now... the person able to pose that question has appeared—perhaps ’he’ has appeared many times in the past, but this time, ’he’ has entered the Light Realm.]
[The place concealing the answer]
The silver iron god stared at the sea, aware that besides itself, the Seven Cities Alliance, The Empire, and Far Shore Island were all watching, and even the one from Fiery Flame Land was following closely behind Ian, they were all waiting in anticipation.
In the next moment, the iron body suddenly stood up. At its viewing port, a silver-white spark abruptly flared.
This spark looked like a stunned gaze, incredulously looking towards the deep sea, at the sudden burst of light paths and light patterns.
[Incredible!]
It murmured in shock: [Advancing at least twenty years ahead of schedule... has the Light Realm awakened!?]
The Guardian of the Great Library witnessed, in the depths of the sea, a bright halo spreading in all directions, an inexplicably powerful force flowing in the depths, an immense aether current diffusing, spanning between the Domain of Void and the material world, shining with boundless light!
[Such anomaly, why hasn’t the True Demon reacted?]
Far Shore Island, Azure Star, who was always prepared to suppress the True Demon, wore a solemn expression, her spirit energy even more perceptive, able to see the suddenly tumultuous sea in the previously serene depths of the Tranquil Sea, transforming into an incredibly bright whirlpool of light, gathering the power of the Light Realm.
The entire sea of the Domain of Void, the entire tide of the Light Realm, was rejoicing, boiling over... as if an answer finally met its question, as if an ancient mansion long dormant welcomed its young owner.
And within the Light Realm.
The Pupationer slightly raised his head, his eyes no longer filled with shock, only pure admiration: [Unbelievable...]
He observed Fairy Ian extending his hand to touch the unfinished ’Pearl of the Light Realm’.
Then, an endless radiance, like a tsunami, like a vast wave, like a sweeping gale, gathered from all directions, forming a seemingly unending ring, a massive vortex.
At the center of this vortex, a funnel-shaped tail hung downward.
It descended like a tornado, pouring boundless energy into a continuously collapsing and reforming silver-green platform.
[Pioneer Platform], Ian’s true Heart Light Body continued to expand, enlarge... at this moment, every user of the Pioneer Platform logged off, all receiving a ’emergency disconnect update’ notice, but no one was angry about it, for even the dullest users had sensed a trace of ’anomaly’ just now.
"That just now was..." The youngest offspring of the Great Khan, Gaer, lifted his hand, muttering to himself: "That was a tangible touch, not a mental virtual sensation?"
"What exactly is the Pioneer Space updating?!"
[Are you trying to completely dominate the Light Realm?!] At this moment, the Pupationer had realized what Ian intended to do, instinctively stepping forward: [Stop it quickly! You can’t endure it alone! Your Aether True Body can’t possibly contain such vast power!]
He wasn’t exaggerating, because Ian’s Pioneer Platform was already swelling to its limits, and the power of the Light Realm was still surging endlessly, far from finished—the fragment left by the Star God contained an unimaginable power far beyond ordinary Fifth Energy Level control, even Ian couldn’t handle it.
"No, I can."
Yet, Fairy Ian’s voice was exceptionally calm; behind his Aether True Body, a silver sun faintly glowed along with the shadow of a Silver Chip: "Because this is the legacy I am destined to inherit."
The Heart of Terra and the Rites of the Star Gods co-activated, the vast energy of the Light Realm and pure aether being infused within, solidifying the virtual dream of Terra’s Heart swiftly into reality, while the Rites of the Star Gods managed the energy, gradually calming, soothing the massive energy tide, as if finally coming home to itself.
[Is this?!]
At that moment, the Pupationer widened his eyes, no longer shocked for Ian or for the power of the Light Realm—he stared intently at the silver chip emerging behind Ian: [This is the legacy of Inega II... his treasure for dominion?!]
And not just the Pupationer, at this moment, all across this world, every Fifth Energy Level focused their eyes on the Tranquil Sea.
Although speculated before, upon seeing the ’Silver Chip’ emerging with Ian, they instinctively focused their attention, observing the ’core’ regulating the immense energy of the Light Realm and domineering it.
"Yes." Raising his head, Ian met the overwhelming gazes from all directions one by one, the Prophet smiled faintly and replied: "This is Inega II’s legacy, the treasure I inherited from my mentor."
"This is the prized treasure many of you have plotted for, which every monarch desires to possess."
"It is the reason they met their demise."
"And similarly, it is the reason I am assured of succeeding."
