From a historical perspective, humans have always been repeating the sa things. Individuals within the collective create benefits for the collective, and the collective distributes benefits to individuals. If everything is in an upward phase, then each individual can be satisfied, thus maintaining the stability of the collective.
But humans are greedy and insatiable creatures. Even with the most equitable distribution, there will still be dissatisfaction, let alone a distribution that can almost never be fair, leading to accumulated contradictions covered by developnt.
And when contradictions accumulate to a certain degree, the collective can no longer continue to create entirely new and greater benefits due to technological stagnation, and contradictions will destroy the collective, whether it manifests as a change of dynasty, a radical reform, or a complete upheaval, the essence remains the sa.
As long as there is technological stagnation, there will be war.
Just like the current Terra.
The systematically developed Sublimation Path, the ergence of the True Form, the alchemical revolution, the invention of the Alchemy Furnace Core, the invention of the Armor Suit, the invention of the Aether Furnace, the appearance of magical beast breeding grounds, and the modernization of the alchemical industry...
Ti and again, technological progress has suppressed Terra’s contradictions.
But because no one could find the "technological transformation" of this era, unable to find the core thod to reach the Sixth Energy Level, unable to find the essential, infinite energy core.
Therefore, contradictions erupted, triggering the Terra war of this era.
Originally, this Terra war would have been incredibly intense — the Empire’s floating city would sever the defenses of Abassalom, cutting off the connections between the two bloodlines, pressing upon both the Seven Cities Alliance and the Fierce Mountain Land, making mutual aid impossible and allowing for pieceal attacks.
Originally, the Azure Sky Royal Court would have mobilized the original army stationed around the borders of Canaan Moore and, along with the Nine Cold Alliance, advanced, with the Soldier Bee force pressing straight towards the Gantreignum Sanctuary, forcing the Dwarves to retreat to Avogadro Cape, or even further into the Oblivion Sea to explore new territories.
Originally, the Empire and the Royal Court would engage in a strategic showdown at the Ushetaraf Mountain Range, with their Fifth Energy Level forces formally clashing, turning the Solemnmoon Khanate into an icebound wasteland thousands of miles wide, killing millions, while the Icewind Valley Fortress Group would beco an endless poisonous swamp, and eleven corps formations would be dissolved.
This was a brutal slaughter, nearly leaving Terra in ruins, a "Total Faction War."
But, this was only a possibility.
None of this truly happened.
And the reason wasn’t anything else.
It was because of Ian.
It was because of the Arcane Pathway.
The appearance of the "technological transformation" of this era alleviated the contradictions between the various nations, much like a civilization suddenly popularizing nuclear fusion power within a society still using thermal power. Even though the essence remains boiling water, the improved efficiency and energy levels are enough to make all countries temporarily stand down, abandon so disputes, and single-mindedly research this pathway to gain an advantage in future developnt.
And taking advantage of this period of comprehensive retraction by the nations of the Terra Confederation, Ian also achieved his most important goal.
He covertly moved like a thief and reached the New Continent, defeated the local Beast Kingdom, founded a Royal Court, and beca the King of the New Continent—in this process, all nations were absorbed in researching the Arcane Pathway and thus retracted, even the Far Shore Island was the sa, and they actually also attained their goals, joining Ian in developing the New Continent, doing even better than they imagined.
Thus, he had a solid backing to face the greater conflicts ahead on Terra.
Yes, greater conflicts.
The Arcane Pathway did not fully resolve the contradictions on Terra, it rely strengthened the existing Fifth Energy Level, extending life and enhancing power, solving neither the energy problem nor the future. It’s a temporary relief rather than a cure, only delaying the explosion of contradictions.
But conveniently, it provided ti and opportunity for Ian to grow.
At this mont, Fairy Ian delved deep into the Subspace Network, advancing towards the central white light condensation point.
The core protected by the power of the Sky Ladder had dimd significantly, the energy of the Sky Ladder had already been utilized to transform the entire New Continent, though it still maintained basic operational energy, it was barely able to support additional protection points.
Moreover, Ian simultaneously held the authority of the Star God Spaceship and the Heavenly Ladder System, so he didn’t need to contend with these protective layers at all.
"Open."
Standing before the light layer, he calmly said. And the louver-like shield obeyed, retracting to reveal the portal, much like the leaves of a mimosa.
The light withdrew, and the true form of the object preserved in subspace was revealed.
It was a pyramid—a black pyramid. Suspended in mid-air, uplifted by strands of fluffy white light flow, slowly rotating, presenting the observer with the rune patterns flowing on its eight sides.
[——Ancient Tidal Echo——]
[Missing]
[The Aetheric Interaction Platform damaged by gravitational weaponry once served the Etheric Crystal Perpetual Motion Machine of ’Infinite Tide’, now with tides withdrawn and sealed, it’s the sole thod to awaken the Perpetual Motion Machine]
[Repair Difficulty: Simple]
[This platform forms a port between the Infinite Tide’s Perpetual Motion Machine and the Great Aether Circulation, and when unified, it can fully exert its power]
[...]
The space deep within the subspace core was vast and boundless, endless to the eye, but Ian’s entire view gravitated towards this black nine-sided pyramid at its core.
"Ancient Tidal Echo... and Infinite Tide."
The Prophet murmured softly, sowhat suppressing a laugh: "Looks like the Star God has its own artistry, the Perpetual Motion Machine and its corresponding platform both have codenas, I would have thought They’d just number them ’Perpetual Motion Machine xxx’."
