Education without discrimination, all beings are capable.
This is the core concept of the Arcane Pathway.
As for the Magical Beasts, Ian naturally sees them as ’beasts’, but for these ’aliens’ with intelligence and a legacy of civilization, it’s difficult for Ian to simply view them as Different Races.
One must know, if it were the civilization of a previous era, these so-called ’aliens’ actually entrusted everything of their civilization to the Star God and the Terra People. It was with great trust that they sent the Sparks representing their entire civilization here.
But what was the result? After the Calamity of Heavenly Fall, the Terra People certainly lost their glory and morality, turning into an ordinary civilization in the Post-Apocalyptic Era. Yet these civilizations turned into food and materials.
So of those God of Sparks from other planets ca with malice to seize living space, but so, during their unfolding, were destroyed just because they touched the sanctuary of humans... Indeed, there were Different Races that helped humans, but more were like those Magical Beast ancestors of the New Continent, who even lost their civilization’s inheritance, could only guard their Sparks, and could never reclaim their civilization’s wisdom.
This isn’t sympathy, Ian just... feels a bit dazed.
"This is the starry sky."
He tilted his head up, looking at the starless night sky above the firmant, the starless universe, the Glass Emperor Dragon mused to himself: "The destruction of a civilization has nothing to do with the civilization itself, it may rely be a ripple in the Star Sea."
"All past glory and splendor will fade away. In this infinitely vast universe, even if there’s no war between the Star God and The End, many civilizations will perish, turning into ash and dust just the sa."
"The Terra People exist now rely out of good fortune... But we can’t always rely on good fortune. If the End beyond the Star Prison Tianyu can be avoided, at least we can find other Cradles or undiscovered planets, or even the Great Void Zone... Humans at least need a retreat, facing this rciless Star Sea, and the unknown future."
All joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness on a planet, even within a galaxy, the rise and fall of all civilizations within a dozen galaxies, is but a fraction of dust to the infinite Star Sea.
Sighing is useless, and so is being lost; what he can do.
Is to move forward.
Move forward, to explore a ’path that can go as far as possible.’
At this mont, all the Magical Beast representatives present signed a contract with Ian under the witness of the Heart of Terra.
The contract is simple: from now on, all Magical Beasts of the New Continent can enjoy the various benefits provided by the Heart of Terra just like the People of Silverpeak Domain.
And the price is, like the People of Silverpeak, after death, their Lost Souls belong to the Heart of Terra as offerings for its growth.
Of course, the benefits are not limited to these.
[This feeling?!]
The old familiar dragon, Abyssal Lord, who was the first to sign the oath, did not attempt any tricks, but obediently accepted the surge of power from the Heart of Terra within its body. The result was a powerful and pure strength pouring into its body like a tide, then burning and shaking its various ’Origin Structures’ like a fiery thunder.
Compared to healing, this process is more like an attack.
But because Abyssal Lord is a friend of Silver Salt, it knows sothing about the true identity of the Glass Emperor Dragon, so it grits its teeth and endures.
Then, after intense pain and burning sensation, it was astonished to find large amounts of gray-black smoke emitting from its body, disappearing into the wind.
Following this, a warm, comforting feeling like soaking in a hot spring mixed with a cleanliness and tingling akin to having one’s teeth cleaned spread throughout its body.
Abyssal Lord was shocked to find that its Origin Structure had undergone a baptism—many previously chaotic and confused structures had their impurities and blockages eased, becoming as pure as a newborn!
Of course, this is not complete.
Because there was only one stream of this warm current, after slightly purifying, it disappeared, leaving many more stubborn structures unwashed.
However, these stubborn pathological structures were also loosened significantly under that fiery tidal-like power, and Abyssal Lord could even detect these forrly undetectable chronic ailnts!
Discovering where the ailnts lie is truly the important part! You should know, for self-taught Magical Beasts like them, they can’t distinguish whether their pain is the price of power or the result of incorrect cultivation! And fearing the loss of power, they didn’t even dare to fully treat themselves!
But now... everything is crystal clear!
[This, this is the contract?! The power of the Glass Emperor Dragon... is surprisingly strong?!]
Abyssal Lord looked up in astonishnt at the Stardust Dragon above, and the Stardust Dragon looked back at it, showing a smile.
[This is the contract between us]
It slowly spoke: [I’ve said, I will lead you to the future, so it is only natural that the pains hindering you from reaching the future are for to resolve]
Originating from the Qiang Steel Sacred Mountain, the ’purification’ ability of the Glimr Cradle System is now under the control of the Heart of Terra. With the energy supply from Silverpeak Domain, the Heart of Terra can even purify all of Silverpeak Domain’s people every few years. Of course, this is unnecessary, as many people have never even consud Magical Beasts, thus never ingesting the Origin Structure of Magical Beasts.
But for the Magical Beasts of the New Continent, the Dragon God Sacrificial Fire of the Glimr Cradle System is undoubtedly a sacred ritual that allows them to take a step further!
Ian is letting them know this and using the power of the Dragon God Sacrificial Fire to intertwine with their souls, forming a connection with the Heart of Terra—in this way, they would yearn for the purification of the Dragon God Sacrificial Fire.
And afterward, Ian would link this purification ritual with the ’Dragon Worship Cult’, thereby making the various Magical Beast Tribes and the Royal Court not only respect him as the ’ruler of the Glazed Imperial Court’ but also further revere him as the sect hierarch of the Dragon Worship Cult.
[This is the sacrificial fla of the Dragon God, the most sacred power of the Dragon Worship Cult]
At this mont, the Glass Emperor Dragon did not hesitate and imdiately announced to all the magical beast representatives still experiencing the power of the Dragon God Sacrificial Fire: [Beyond this contract, only those who contribute outstandingly to the Glazed Imperial Court and the Dragon Worship Cult can obtain its purification.]
[And every intelligent being who reaches the Third Energy Level can co to the Ladder Tree. As long as they are willing to join the Dragon Worship Cult, they can receive a purification from the Dragon God Sacrificial Fire once.]
[This is my vow. As long as these conditions are t, anyone can co to to fulfill it!]
Upon hearing this, there was an uproar within the magical beast tribe.
How could they not understand the hidden aning behind the Glass Emperor Dragon’s words? The Dragon God Sacrificial Fire is a secret ritual of the Dragon Worship Cult, and to obtain it as quickly as possible, one must join the cult.
And the Dragon Worship Cult is a ’trans-species organization’ that transcends the Magical Beast Tribes. To contribute, one must be responsible for the entire Glazed Imperial Court, not just their own tribe or royal court. In other words, it is a thod to weaken tribalism and nationalism, to strengthen ’collectivism’ and ’universalism’!
Yet, for individuals, it is an irresistible temptation.
Even the Abyssal Lord of the Fourth Energy Level can sense enormous benefits. Other lower-level magical beasts can completely adjust their Origin Quality structure and possess greater potential!
To say nothing else, after the baptism of the Dragon God Sacrificial Fire, one’s lifespan can be extended by at least a dozen years, reducing internal Origin Quality conflicts and gaining stronger power!
Is there really a sublimator who can resist such temptation? Ultimately, they are already mbers of the Glazed Imperial Court, not just representatives of their respective species!
And as long as they reach the Third Energy Level, swear allegiance to the Glass Emperor Dragon, and join the Dragon Worship Cult, they can unconditionally receive a Dragon God Sacrificial Fire... This is slowly siphoning off the independent powerhouses from various tribes, strengthening the imperial court and the Dragon Worship Cult!
Knowing it is one thing, but resisting it is another.
This is a blatant strategy, leading people to achieve one’s goals through significant benefits.
The Glass Emperor Dragon overlooked the ten thousand beasts, never deigning to use intrigue or plant tricks in the contract — any conspiracy would be exposed, and any trick would be removed.
In this world, the biggest trap, the strongest hypnosis, and the most inescapable brainwashing ultimately co down to three words.
[I am willing!]
Imdiately, a fanatically fervent magical beast of the Third Energy Level cried out: [Your Majesty! I am willing to join the Dragon Worship Cult!]
[I am willing too!]
[ too!]
For these desires and longings, the Glass Emperor Dragon smiled and agreed one by one.
That is his purpose; he does not need to deceive anyone, as people will naturally gravitate towards him.
For a powerful existence, like a star, not only radiates all things but also attracts countless stars.
The silver sun shone atop the firmant, witnessing the birth and consolidation of the Glazed Imperial Court, spanning two worlds.
But at this mont.
Suddenly, between heaven and earth, a change abruptly appeared, and mystical phenona suddenly arose!
At the top of the firmant, an originally starless night sky suddenly lit up with a star. While almost no magical beasts paid much attention to this scene, only Ian noticed it, frowning as he fixed his gaze on the suddenly appearing bright star at the top of the firmant, puzzling over its aning.
However, the next instant.
This dazzling Silver Star suddenly burst into bright radiance, filling the vast firmant with light far brighter than daylight!
[What’s happening?!]
[What is this?!]
In an instant, whether magical beasts or humans, from the New Continent or Terra Continent, on this half of the Terra Planet facing the ’light source,’ all intelligent life was stunned by this anomaly.
The originally dim and lightless sky was suddenly filled with endless light, which overshadowed the moonlight and penetrated the eyelids; even with the eyes covered, its glorious light could still be seen. Everywhere the eyes could directly see, inside and outside the horizon, the entire universe was filled with this sudden strong light, turning into a silver-white expanse!
The planet’s magnetic field also overflowed with brilliant seven-colored auroras due to the stimulation of this sudden strong light. These snaking and flowing auroras were like curtains yet rivers, flowing in the snow-white celestial do, emitting their splendid hues.
No one could imdiately understand what was happening except those who attended the Solitary Mountain eting and heard the Hall of Ten Thousand Spirits’ prophecy.
Except for Ian.
Silverpeak Domain, Holy Mountain, Canaan Moore, New Continent... All the ’Ian’s looked up at the celestial do, their expressions solemn.
"This is... the light of a Supernova Eruption."
He gazed at the Silver Star overhead, suppressing the shock in his heart, and slowly spoke its true form: "This is..."
"The on of the Calamity of Light!"
