[No matter what you want to do, as long as it’s about changing the predetermined destiny, Michael, we will help you.]
"...Thank you. I understand."
Michael was silent for a while, then he stood up: "This is probably my fear too, facing my powerful father will inevitably make one subconsciously fearful."
"But now, I understand—if I don’t go to change it, then who else will?"
The enlightened man slowly spoke to Mahdi and Ian before him, to this second generation of The Unyielding Fortress: "Next, I will beco the Fifth Energy Level and then go to confront my father."
"You’re already late."
Ian said rcilessly: "In all the futures I foresee, none has happened like this, with the Calamity of Light erupting early—which might be because of my mistake, because I accomplished sothing ’unexistent in prophecy,’ I developed the Arcane Pathway and spread it widely."
"This distracted you; otherwise, you would have already beco the Fifth Energy Level and gone against Axel."
Michael chuckled, then sighed: "Everyone wants to beco stronger and more perfect. Especially since I have to face my own father, the strongest Sunbird on this land."
"Speaking of which, don’t you have any quick thods? thods to accelerate my progression, allowing to achieve better when becoming the Fifth Energy Level?"
For Michael’s question, Ian had a thought, the Fae and Glass Emperor Dragon exchanged a glance, then pondering said: "We are pioneers, creators of the Arcane Pathway no doubt, but precisely because of this, we can only move forward step by step."
"But..."
"We indeed seem to have so thods."
At this mont, Ian also knew, Michael’s progression was delayed, Calamity of Light has already descended, he must beco the Fifth Energy Level as quickly as possible.
But the faster the speed, the less stable it becos, every ti Michael challenges Axel, he loses, proving there are definitely so key points he hasn’t achieved yet, so facing Axel ensures defeat.
Conversely, Arcane Pathway as ’events not previously occurring,’ represents a new kind of power, even Fifth Energy Level can derive so beneficial aspects from it to strengthen themselves, maybe able to surpass Axel’s control.
Not to ntion...
——If I use the Heart of Terra to accelerate Michael’s progression, aiding him in organizing his internal Origin Structure, and then utilizing the purification system of the Cradle of Twinkling Light to adjust his state better, can it make Michael’s strength progress further after advancing to the Fifth Energy Level?
——Moreover, I’ve already completed the re-establishnt of gravitational and electromagnetic organs, able to achieve the Fourth Stage of the Arcane Pathway, condense a truly ’Divine Body’ and the ’correct Aether True Body’... This experience can also be conveyed to Michael, allowing him to ascend to the Fifth Energy Level, collecting so related data for .
"I have an experintal thod."
With eyes fixed, Ian looked at Michael, his tone solemn: "We can indeed help you accelerate your progression, but it’s also our first ti trying this thod, and all your progression data will be recorded by , for my use..."
"If you don’t mind, we can indeed help you."
"You actually have one?"
Michael was quite surprised, he looked at the fae and Crystal Dragon in front of him, for so reason he suddenly laughed: "What’s there to mind, as long as you can succeed, I am certainly willing to help you."
"Co on, tell the specific thod."
...
Silverpeak Domain.
Lord Ian awoke from his slumber, only realizing he was in the Life Sustaining Chamber of the laboratory upon waking, while Adalbert was recording various experintal data with a frown.
Thump thump thump. Ian tapped on the window of the Life Sustaining Chamber, Adalbert was slightly startled, raised his head to look at the Chamber, then exhaled a sigh of relief, walked over to discharge the nutritional fluid.
"You’ve been away too long this ti, and if you don’t control this body for a long ti, it will still revert to Sublimation Material, just like the fae’s materials."
While opening the chamber door, handing over clothes, Adalbert complained: "The matters of the New Continent are busy, but occasionally you need to manage the territory, I don’t believe you don’t have that computational power."
"The happenings in the New Continent are much more troubleso than you imagine... Thanks for looking after it."
Ian was indifferent, he changed into clothes, donned the research academy robe, imdiately took out the Crystal Plate to issue instructions: "I ca back for a major event, soon Second Prince Michael will co here. I’m preparing to use Heart of Terra and Cradle System to help accelerate his progression to the Fifth Energy Level, assist later as well."
"I knew you’d be working overti once you returned."
Adalbert sighed, instinctively noting this sentence in the ’To-do List’ on the Crystal Plate, then suddenly awakened: "Wait, what did you say?!"
"The Second Prince is coming here to progress to the Fifth Energy Level?!"
"Yes. I’ve reached an agreent with him, we can record in real-ti the entire process of a Fifth Energy Level expert progressing."
Turning his head sideways, Ian manipulated the moisture to condense the remaining nutritional fluid from his hair and threw it into the nearby waste trough. He transmitted information through the Domain of Void to Adalbert: "At this point, there are many things to fully tell you, like Calamity of Light... or Axel’s true plan."
After waiting for a while, watching Adalbert’s expression change from puzzlent to astonishnt, from astonishnt to fury, eventually returning to thoughtful contemplation. Only then did Ian inquire, asking this rare friend able to keep up with his pace: "How about it, Adalbert, do you think it’s feasible?"
"Will human souls be altered by factors like widespread Spirit Energy signals to achieve a near brainwashing effect?"
"If desiring to resist such brainwashing, how strong must one be?"
"Of course."
Regaining his composure, Adalbert took a deep glance at Ian—he, in his perspective, was Terra Continent’s foremost brainwashing armor and the creator of the dangerous technique of Soul’s Steel Seal—silent for a while, then seriously stated: "The Deceased Monarch was indeed so; Duke of Solin inciting all the principality citizens through a speech, with nationwide consent, remodeled everyone’s soul into the Deceased Monarch."
"And what Axel attempts isn’t much different, the only distinction is... there is no Deceased Monarch."
"The multiple souls have no genuine irrefutable master, rely a new inclination, a possibility in their minds."
"This type of brainwashing, in contrast, is simpler than the Deceased Monarch, and the technology is probably more mature, too much Spirit Energy is deployed to control others, other beasts."
At this point, Adalbert closed his eyes, sowhat pained but eventually spoke the truth conflicting with his inner righteousness: "Human souls aren’t nobler than beasts, just as human bodies aren’t stronger than beasts; born as humans due to wisdom and morals, but under Spirit Energy, these are insignificant and no different."
"Hence, as a strong person, refraining from deploying Spirit Energy or other ans to dominate the weak is what counts as rare ’morality’."
"Also, because in the face of the strong, the weak are akin to nihility regardless of body or soul, we Sublimators must make them solid, create a stable will, ultimately coagulate it into unchanging Heart Light, eternal self-awareness, unique to oneself, unparalleled Heart Light."
"This is the genuine Heart Light. In other words, only upon reaching the Third Energy Level can you fully resist such brainwashing. Besides this, there’s virtually no other way."
"I see."
Upon hearing this, Ian couldn’t help but sigh, he initially pondered whether he could rely on ditation techniques and the protection of Heart of Terra to resist Axel’s brainwashing, but now it seems, it’s perhaps still sowhat difficult.
However, he soon thought of another thod.
"Adalbert." Ian’s eyes lit up: "Your Spirit Energy Giant of Light can temporarily unify the minds of all your supporters with yours, gathering the Crowd’s Heart as your own!"
"Would people in such a state be able to resist brainwashing?"
"My Spirit Energy is ’Crowd’s Heart,’ not Giant of Light." Adalbert reminded, then fell into contemplation: "This... might indeed resist?!"
His eyes brightened, Adalbert had long realized what true Heart Light is, he is also at Heart Light Stage, naturally able to resist any kind of brainwashing.
In this way, relying on his Spirit Energy, might really protect many people from brainwashing!
