"..."
Ian hesitated to speak, but after so thought, he realized that even with just the Imperial Capital, he could conceive of seven or eight thods to end the world, and he imdiately felt relieved: "Thank you, because of you, Terra can survive."
[It doesn’t really have much to do with us]
The elder brother of the Huai Guang Twins shook his head: [It’s actually quite normal. Even in the peaceful civilizations of the previous era, the lab my sister and I were in alone had seven or eight types of super viruses that could likely wipe out seventy percent of all species. If the photosymbiotic fungus were weaponized, it could even dry up the oceans, not to ntion those Voidrealm Machine Gods who rely need to stop working, and the current Terra People would likely be ravaged and destroyed by demons.]
[Ultimately, Terra did not undergo transformation by the Star God, it’s just an ordinary life-bearing planet. For civilizations that haven’t ventured into space, a single planet is already massive, similar to those who haven’t left their country; their city and province seem unimaginably large, let alone an entire country or foreign nation.]
[But for past civilizations, the Star God, True Dragons, and other Spark civilizations, planets are rely stepping stones and foundations. If they couldn’t even destroy the ecosystem of a single planet, how could they claim to have the ability to protect themselves across the stars?]
[Just like we told you a long ti ago - every Fifth Energy Level has the potential to destroy this world. Therefore, we must witness and observe, and at crucial monts, reverse this possibility.]
Huai Guang’s belief was unwavering, and even after understanding their origins, Ian found himself able to trust them even more.
Although it is said ’those not of our species will have a different heart’, sotis the hearts of humans can indeed be quite straightforward, unable to understand the ultimate evil and chaos of demons, nor the pure goodness like Huai Guang’s. This human heart is undoubtedly the source of motivation for humans to move forward step by step, but sotis it is also a reason that hinders cooperation.
"Then can you really not guess what major thing Axel is planning?"
Ian thought for a mont and continued to inquire, "Although I don’t think Axel would choose world destruction, I still feel that what he’s going to do will wreak havoc."
[In our foresight]
The Huai Guang Gemini Pontiffs exchanged glances and spoke in unison: [We have not foreseen the death of anyone.]
[Our foresight is not perfect and can only predict great natural disasters and endless deaths. Together with the Patriarch of the Church of Myriad Spirits, we foresaw the Calamity of Light, but did not foresee a global extinction event. After the Solitary Mountain eting, major forces such as the Empire, Falling Star City, Yanjiang, and City of Knowledge announced a joint protective statent, Planetary Shield Technology has begun to spread, and the Calamity of Light cannot destroy humans, not even severely impact any single force.]
[Ian, we understand your doubts, but on Terra, no Fifth Energy Level being’s purpose is to cause widespread devastation. They have their own dreams and goals, which we’ve witnessed. Perhaps, in pursuit of their dreams, they might stir up war, even kill millions, but they will not kill for the sake of killing.]
[You think the proliferation of Floating Cities might signal sothing big, we agree. But regardless, it can protect more life; more importantly, we believe guarding the ’Thousand-Star Beast’ is more crucial.]
This is also why Huai Guang has not taken much action recently.
Although Huai Guang was unaware that in one of Ian’s lifetis, the Calamity of Light would awaken the Thousand-Star Beast, which would then destroy much of Terra, they had keenly sensed that the Thousand-Star Beast was the greatest source of calamity.
And speaking of which...
Ian suddenly thought of sothing, his eyes lit up, and he said, "Although this may be a bit abrupt... but please pardon my audacity, Your Eminence, the Pope."
"Could you introduce to... the Crystalline Dragon King guarding the Abyssal Sea, His Majesty Goliath Nihil?"
[Certainly]
The Huai Guang Swarm responded: [Goliath Nihil is quite willing to et promising young ones like you. He is also a neutral Fifth Energy Level being guarding the core of the Thousand-Star Beast... But Ian, he’s after all only a Crystal Dragon, not truly an emperor or king. If you rely wish to chat with him, that’s fine, but if you hope to gain sothing from him, it’s best to ensure a fair exchange.]
"No need to worry."
Ian smiled, "I rely seek assurance... of course, through a fair trade."
...
The Holy Mountain is relatively peaceful for the ti being; even with Mahdi Ravine, the apparent founder of the Arcane Pathway, being sheltered here by Huai Guang, no major power’s scout has attempted to infiltrate.
Not due to unwillingness, but because across the nearby nations, the Steep Ridge Fortress is at war with the Empire. Yanjiang’s respect for Huai Guang is unparalleled, rivaling that of the Empire under Inega II, and as for the Azure Sky Royal Court...
The Azure Sky Royal Court is in significant trouble.
Amidst heated battles between the Empire and the Azure Sky Court in the Eastern Front Mountains and Plains War Zone, the Court suddenly unilaterally withdrew their troops, leaving large swathes of territory undefended.
The Empire believed this might be so sort of trap, hence cautiously advancing their frontline, yet the commanders were astonished to find the Court truly withdrew, abandoning the lines they had defended with much bloodshed.
Several days later, news from the core of the Court revealed the mystery that had prevented the hesitant Empire from rashly acting.
