At this mont.
As Ian communicated with Huai Guang.
A path appeared before everyone.
As the brilliance of the mountain summit shone, everyone’s hearts were inexplicably stirred by a powerful spirit energy fluctuation, and a path erged between the realm of reality and illusion, stretching from beneath everyone’s feet, extending towards the distant Summit of the Holy Mountain.
This path seed to be forged from light, brilliant and pure. It also resembled a river, flowing endlessly, defying gravity, carrying everyone to greater heights.
All those around, the people living near Dawn Avenue, witnessed this scene. They exclaid in awe, clasping their hands in prayer, bowing in respect to Ian and the others.
For this was a miracle—a miracle of Embrace Light. It was the Light of Huai Guang, high upon the Summit of the Holy Mountain, showing respect and offering an invitation to its guests.
"What is... happening?"
Among those present, only Yisen Gard was quite bewildered, not understanding what had just happened, while the Frozen Fish Tutor and Pathbuilder Fen Hun remained solemn (or at least did not wag their tails), looking at Ian, then turning to the distant Holy Mountain.
"This is Huai Guang’s welcoming ceremony." Fen Hun said calmly, "This scene has not appeared for nearly a hundred years, not even when the Dragon King himself visited, was it so grand."
[The last ti the Cast Light Road opened, it was done by soone you’re quite familiar with, Yisen.]
The Frozen Fish Tutor cautiously said: [That person was your great-grandfather, Pioneer Inega II—it was precisely Inega II who introduced the Huai Guang Church to The Empire, making it nearly the state religion.]
[Now, the proliferation of the Huai Guang Church in The Empire is precisely because of that possible ’alliance.’ No one knows exactly what agreent Inega II reached with Huai Guang, but Inega II was indeed a Monarch who openly showed ’support’ for Huai Guang.]
[And now...]
The Frozen Fish Tutor and Fen Hun both looked at Ian: [Huai Guang is inviting Ian.]
"That’s normal."
Upon hearing this, Yisen Gard showed a knowing expression. He wasn’t surprised at all that Ian could receive favor from Huai Guang, and he nodded naturally: "After all, it’s Ian. This is very normal."
"He, after all, has opened the Arcane Pathway, and his impact on the world is no lesser than that of my great-grandfather!"
——At least be a little shocked! Although the Frozen Fish Tutor and Fen Hun also thought Ian truly had the strength and the ans, they couldn’t help but mock.
"Huai Guang is waiting for us."
And at this mont, Ian, who seed captivated just now, ca to his senses and said to everyone: "Let’s go, such an invitation is hard to refuse."
Everyone walked on the light, a rather peculiar sensation. The white path felt like light, yet also like flesh and blood, or more akin to amber that sealed light yet hadn’t solidified, with golden-white light flowing within. Once stepped on, an incredible pulse of power could be felt within.
Ian could sense Huai Guang’s goodwill and welco towards him... because the Huai Guang Swarm deed him as light, as a transcendent being beyond mundane desires, a visionary capable of transforming Terra to reshape its order.
Truth be told, Ian had never praised himself so highly, hadn’t even thought about it that way.
He really didn’t understand.
"I don’t intend to transform the world into sothing like the civilization of the previous era."
In his mind, Ian continued communicating with the Huai Guang Swarm: "At least not for this generation. Currently, I quite like Terra’s politics of strong individuals, can you accept that?"
[Even without ’strong individuals’, human society still needs a ’strong power’]
The Twin Pontiffs, Huai Guang Swarm, said softly: [The actual governors of this strong power are a small number of people, in a certain sense, it’s similar to how Terra is now, where ultimately a few hold more power to direct the swarm’s path.]
"Not the sa."
Ian said gravely: "The actual governors and overseers of this strong power can be everyone, everyone supervising and managing each other, with each person being part of their respective professional managent tier."
"The societal construction of the civilization from the previous era of Terra was extrely advanced, having no exalted authority, only those revered and accomplished."
[Indeed, isn’t this our goal? Ian, even though you keep saying autocracy is necessary, aren’t you essentially creating such a world?]
The Twin Pontiffs replied calmly: [Everyone helps each other, each person being part of the authority governing the entire civilization, every individual being an expert and authority in their field... This is the society we aim to create.]
[It’s just that present-day Terra’s civilization can’t achieve this, hence we disguise that strong power with Huai Guang’s strength and faith, creating a Holy Mountain, Holy Land like Land of Bliss.]
[And you use your AI to disguise it... creating a peaceful and stable domain under your rule.]
[Essentially, we are all transitioning for the ultimate goal of the Great Unity.]
Ian fell silent.
He hadn’t expected Huai Guang to see so far ahead, even recognizing that his creation of the Heart of Terra was rely transitional.
But thinking it over, it wasn’t surprising, since Huai Guang had dispatched Yingguang and Glorious Sword clerics right from the start to station at Silverpeak Domain as ’witnesses’.
They watched the Silverpeak Domain’s rapid developnt process, and with the wisdom and insight of the Huai Guang Swarm, it was only natural they discerned his true intentions.
Thinking of this, Ian had a thought: "Among the clerics in Silverpeak Domain, how many are truly ’you’?"
