Chapter 2043: Chapter 33: Farthest Path, Great Expansion Observation, and...

"Because there’s still me. They can still support me."

— Too arrogant. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

The Pupationer thought so. He had requested to follow Ian to the Realm of Light, primarily to uncover some of Ian’s hidden cards, but now he found that it was himself who was being seen through.

This arrogant fellow, who could utter ’defeating you all is not difficult’, had once again set up an open conspiracy.

Having just defeated the Ashen King, Ian Silverpeak had earned the respect of all the powerhouses of Terra as the King of Fiery Flame Land. Everyone had placed him on the list of ’difficult opponents’ and did not plan to target him in advance... This might be a good thing for ordinary people, but for this Prophet, it was not the case.

He needed everyone’s attention, to become the focus of all Terra. He needed others to challenge him so that he could take action as a matter of course.

So, he came to the Realm of Light, obtained the power of the Realm of Light, and then aimed to reveal the truth of the Dark Moon chaos to gain the support and sympathy of the majority of people from the East-West Empire, allowing those who remembered the former Emperor to recall that Ian Silverpeak was the final answer to that turmoil.

In this way, those forces and powerhouses who once plotted the Dark Moon chaos would have to pay attention to him, target him, and the world’s focus would converge on him.

The Pupationer knew this was the future the Prophet wanted. Those azure eyes were meant to see such a future.

"Savaga Nemasas, I can give you a chance to defeat me."

At this moment, Ian’s Fairy Body slowly ascended, intending to depart the Realm of Light: "In the future, there will be a battle waiting for us. Then, you might find a chance to defeat me, and I will not hold back, granting you an unavoidable death."

"As for now, you are still my ally."

The Pupationer, Savaga Nemasas, tilted his head back, watching Ian, who had already become a ray of light entering the material world.

[It seems, I cannot defeat him] he thought, yet surprisingly felt no disappointment, and a sense of near black humor arose in the heart of this King of Fiery Flame Land: [But what about you... other old friends, can you win?]

[Haha] The Pupationer couldn’t help but laugh, bending over with tears streaming down: [This world has truly become interesting!]

Meanwhile.

A beam of light burst from the depths of the sea, reaching the horizon between the heavens and earth, with the silver Seer’s Eye like the sun. The power of the Realm of Light had surged to its limit, its brilliant radiance illuminating the dim night sky.

The power of the Realm of Light was pure and gentle, and Ian, acknowledged by the legacy of the Star God, had obtained this most critical legacy, completing his weakest ’foundation’.

The Arcane Pathway was undoubtedly powerful, and Ian had accumulated much strength during his past adventures, but all of these powers and wealth were exhausted upon reaching the Fifth Energy Level. If not for the superiority of the Pioneer of Iron, and the Ashen King’s critical weaknesses, Ian would have struggled to defeat a fully prepared Fifth Energy Level within a set time.

Without relying on the power accumulated from the Heart of Terra, Ian, on his own, would have found it challenging to swiftly exploit the Ashen King’s mistakes and crush him.

Thus, his future goal of ’defeating the whole Terra’ would be difficult to achieve.

But now, he felt his previously empty Dragon Heart Core was brimming, his body filled with surging strength, which originally required years or even decades to reach full bloom, considering advancing the Arcane Conduit Map to the fifth stage of the [Pioneer of Iron] once more filled with power!

And his true Aether True Body, the ’Pioneer Platform,’ had also undergone a huge evolution.

Originally just a spiritual consciousness space of the Domain of Void, it had become a platform comparable to the Realm of Light, lying between the void and the real!

The pure, time-transcendent Aether of the Realm of Light, along with Ian’s power, the Spirit Energy left by Inega II, and the future power of Elan, was enough to supply the Pioneer Platform with a wealth of past and future information, thus creating numerous ’instances’ to provide trials for platform users.

Ian could even turn it around, letting these platform users explore those ’worlds of unknown possibilities’ that he himself had no time nor opportunity to search, to gain more possibilities and discover further futures!

"It’s a set."

At this moment, Ian realized internally: "The Spirit Energy of Inega II, the ’Eye of Seeking,’ could explore all the threads of the [present]. My Foresight View can see through all the possibilities of the [future]. And Elan’s Retrospective Vision can know all the information of the [past]. Our Spirit Energies, though seemingly different, are essentially one."

"Only by understanding all derivations of past and future, present and now, can we find the possibility to realize all dreams."

"Only by building the Pioneer Platform, guiding everyone to explore their respective distant destinations, can I gain infinite support, becoming a true pioneer."

"By viewing the Great Expansion and guiding all beings, only this way can I truly... set foot on the farthest path!"

Withdrawing his thoughts, Ian observed the present reality.

Surveying the continents surrounding the Tranquil Sea, those lands and peoples of the Terra Confederation.

Then, he laughed, directly and straightforwardly saying.

[At this moment] One must first know: [I shall, as the student of the First Knight Hiliard, and the heir of Imperial Emperor Inega II, recount the truth of an event]

[The truth of the Dark Moon chaos]
